Distortion World やぶれたせかい Torn World |
The Distortion World appearing over Mt. Coronet in Sinnoh |
Contents |
The Distortion World serves primarily as a prison for Giratina, in which the Pokémon is able to roam freely throughout it. The Distortion World is made up of a multitude of levitating islands, and due to the unsual nature of it, many laws of physics can be disobeyed. Namely, the player can move at angles which would normally be impossible in the real world, which is not limited to surfing.In the gamesEdit
The Distortion World makes its first appearance in Pokémon Platinum, where Team Galactic Boss Cyrus summons both Dialga and Palkia to Spear Pillar, in an attempt to create the perfect world. Sensing the disturbance occurring, Giratina conjures up a portal to the Reverse World, snatching Cyrus from Spear Pillar. The Player and Cynthia venture down after them, and have to maneuver through a series of levels with the assistance of Mesprit, Azelf and Uxie.
In the AnimeEdit
- Main article: Reverse World
The Reverse World is the anime-only counterpart to the Distortion World. Despite this, its features vary differently to the game counterpart. In the movie Giratina and the Sky Warrior, the Reverse World is depicted as a large expanse of buildings constructed bilaterally to one another. There are also various other features not included within the game version. Namely, there are a multitude of bubbles floating around the Reverse World, which portray events happening in the real world. These bubbles are poisonous, however. In the Reverse World, there are also ice pillars scattered across the vast expanse, which serve mainly as "support pillars" for the real world. To this effect, when Zero goes in a frenzied rage, destroying pillars left, right and center, it causes adverse effects in the real world.
- Despite the fact that time and space are literally non-existent in the Distortion World, the in-built timer continues to run regardless, and time-based events can still occur.

Apparently charity does not begin at home. 2,772 individuals in Nicauraga received free eye care recently while I have failed to note any free eye care clinics here in Torrington or surrounding towns. Nor, have I seen any free eye care clinics being held in Connecticut. I believe there is a dire need for a free yearly clinic and would like to see this before any more do gooder, pat me on the back, I helped a foreign country yet again appears in the newspaper. The statement "the poor get poorer" does not apply just to a foreign country but right here in your own city.
I would suggest that those who are gay and that want to be scouts band together and form their own version of boy/girl/brownies/cub scouts that is to their liking and leave the traditional scouts alone.
Maybe some can tell me why we have to clean up our sidewalks, yet, you go on Field Street and the sidewalks aren't clean and they don't shovel all winter. Also their is some on Forest Street which they just push up the snow and pile it up on the sidewalks and leave it. Yet, we have to clean ours and they don't. I don't seer why that is right.
We just want to say thank you Mark Pelkey and his son for shoveling our driveway Saturday the 9th. Thank you again.
It is interesting complaining all the time. No one likes to pay taxes. However if I were a Republican electing a Republican do-nothing Congress, I guess I would complain also about paying taxes for getting nothing.
I would like to know why St. Maron's Church, which a Roman Catholic Church is not included in the Stations of the Cross on Friday night with the clustered churches like St. Mary's, St. Francis, St. Peter's and Sacred Heart. If anyone knows would you please respond.
Minimum wage is for minimum skill work. Bagging groceries, stocking shelves, light cleaning, as your first job. Increased skills and responsibility, increases your wage. If you increase the wage, will the business owner get that much more production from the employee?
If that's true, why isn't minimum wage five dollars an hour then? Wouldn't that help employers hire more employees and keep THEIR costs low? I look at minimum wage as a way of keeping employers from paying slave wages, because some would if the minimum wage did not exist. Besides, are you saying a bagboy, waitress or cashier works hard all day and doesn't deserve an honest pay? Oh, and by the way, one gets what one pays for, so if you have lousy employees, you might want to look at their pay scale. People actually do a better job when they feel like they are valued. What's wrong with sticking up for the little guy instead of those who already are doing well?
Re: "so if you have lousy employees, you might want to look at their pay scale."
That is right, poor work equals poor pay. Employee works harder and learns more about their job means more pay. Why should a company be forced to reward someone that sucks at their job? More effort and more responsibility equals more pay. Continued...
"What's wrong with sticking up for the little guy instead of those who already are doing well?" OK Robin Hood, take from those who stuck their necks out and invested their money in a business. You obviously do not own your own company. There are plenty of vacant spaces for you to start a store or business, and then after 6 months then you may start to have an idea..
Just another government ( nanny state) mandate. And God Bless America. If you don't like what an employer is paying - go find another job! It is your choice weather you stay at that job or not !!!!!!!!

SmoothText 1.1.8 Subpixel antialiaser for Windows 2000
Posted 14 January 2009 - 12:50 AM
I've been looking at SmoothText's internal architecture (which is really clean and modular), and I'm thinking that a much better way to do skinning would be to add a skinning behavior to SmoothText rather than fight with TClock3 anymore. SmoothText has a concept of separate behaviors that have their own configuration, ability to be turned on or off, etc. It's really very clean. I'm still on the fence, but I'm investigating the possibility. A lot of TClock3 code would be ported if I took that route (actually rewritten from scratch, but using TClock3 as a template).
Posted 14 January 2009 - 02:57 AM
although SmoothText is getting better and better, here is an error I found.
It's a dialog box in SpeedCommander 10.54 (Delete a file).

But I did have a hard lock up in 0.4.7. Had a temporary lock-up using 0.4.8 while opening Photoshop.
BTW, did you see the Cleartype in 98/ME thread by Tihiy? I think SmoothText has gone beyond Cleartype's capabilities... Although IMHO... The SmoothText algorithm could use a bit more pixel boundary snapping. Tahoma is rather blurry ATM.
Enough rambling for now.
Posted 15 January 2009 - 12:59 AM
Wow, I didn't know about the ClearType thread. I'll go take a look at that now before I get to bed (it's late! )
Posted 15 January 2009 - 03:34 AM
Thank you for your new version. I tested SpeedCommander with 0.4.9 and the problem with the copy-dialogbox is gone.
But I found another error. It's always the same with 0.4.6 - 0.4.9!

I posted version 0.5.0 tonight, which should fix a lot of issues. I'm probably going to slow down development a little bit (these nightly releases are killing me!). That sizing bug is definitely going to be high on the list, though.
I've been looking into the possibility of tuning the text output, but I haven't worked out all the details yet. It has to be done in a way that wouldn't harm performance. A few versions ago I made some preliminary steps toward it, but I haven't figured it all out yet.
Posted 16 January 2009 - 07:48 PM
IMHO Segoe UI is a smidge too thin. Could you add a way to use the old algorithm for certain fonts?
Tried to look at your source for the Subpixel.pas... Found Assembler, Nice!
Unfortunately I don't understand a word of Assembler.
I'll try to decipher the logics of it... See if I can port the frameworks it to VB to test speed if weighting is added...
ATM... Very confused.
Don't kill yourself over SmoothText... It's not worth it!
It won't hurt us to wait a while before getting updates.

That's amazing that it works on XP, though I have to wonder why anyone would want to use it on XP since it already has ClearType. Neat, though, anyway.

Or distribute them together but run them as seperate programs?
Posted 28 January 2009 - 10:10 PM
There are both benefits and drawbacks to having skinning in TClock3 and antialiasing in SmoothText. I'm a little on the fence as to whether they should be combined. At any rate, TClock3 development is continuing; I'm currently cleaning up a LOT of code, and then I have to nail down a few more bugs.

- Windows NT4 / 2000 / 2003

I don't have time to support or code this anymore, someone has taken it over please click here to visit his thread.
This is great alta, thanks Once I've watched and understood this I'll add it to the wiki along with links and a little writeup.
Thanks, I hope this makes it easier! If you make any plugins using this, I would love to try them out, send me a link!
Im making a plugin where players can purchase a spawn point with a sign I'll use it to store their spawns maybe :9
yeah i do get that error but... it doesnt seem to cause any harm the error is when the mail is recieved or someone types /mail read.. hope this helps!
Yeah, it's just a simple query to write to the database, it shouldn't even return a result set as far as I know.
I also get this error While it doesn't seem to cause any problems I like to have an error free console
Yes me too i think its trying to create a new db and ignoring that there is a still a db there but yeah error free console >= sex (That was a joke)
I'm almost finished a reporting plugin with the awesomeness of alta's SQL library and w3schools I'll post the link here when finished, should be just under an hour.
When are you getting this error? When creating a table or when inserting to the table? Also I updated the lib, look at the change log. I added "insertQuery(String query)" so that you will not get the "Error at SQL Query: query does not return ResultSet" error!
First download the lib again to update to the new version of the lib and then in the onEnable() you want to initialize the database like this: Code: dbManage = new sqlCore(this.log, this.logPrefix, "mails", pFolder.getPath()); dbManage.initialize(); if (!dbManage.checkTable("mails")) { String query = "CREATE TABLE mails ( 'id' INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, 'sender' VARCHAR(80) NOT NULL , 'receiver' VARCHAR(80) NOT NULL , 'message' TEXT NOT NULL , 'read' INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0);"; dbManage.createTable(query); }
Alta's amazing SQL tutorial helped me make this http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/ad...port-rule-breakers-700-766.17179/#post-294625
Im not sure.. but.. Code: public void deleteMail (Player player) throws SQLException { String query = "DELETE id, sender, receiver, message, read FROM mails WHERE receiver = '" + player.getName() + "';"; ResultSet result = plugin.dbManage.sqlQuery(query); if (result == null) { plugin.log.info(plugin.logPrefix + "No result at delete mail!"); return; } and Code: if (args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("delete") && player != null) { if ((args.length == 1)) { try{ if (mmServer.getUnreadCount(player.getName()) >= 1) { mmServer.deleteMail(player); } else { player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "No Messages to delete!"); } } catch (SQLException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } else { player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Deleting mail was unsucessful!"); } might be good for deleting mail, i havent worked with SQLite before and this is just speculation really and to reload the database for some reason Code: if (args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("reload") && player != null) { if ((args.length == 1)) { if(player.isOp()){ dbManage.close(); System.out.println("[Mail] Database Closed."); dbManage.initialize(); System.out.println("[Mail] Database Loaded."); player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "[Mail] Database has been reloaded"); }else { player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "[Mail] Only Admins can reload the database"); } }
Thanks I'll add these when I update the tutorial, I am going to make a text tutorial instead this time so that I dont have to keep remaking, reuploading, and reposting the tutorial!
No problems, i think they should work, im just sorting out my onCommand because i killed it somehow ahh yeah text would be easier to manage you should do one on.. onCommand etc? and sending messages, broadcasting messages? because that would be great, i ALWAYS screw up the onCommand and its bugging me xD

Swansea beat Chelsea to reach League Cup final but game marred by Eden Hazard kicking ballboy
- January 24, 2013
The League Cup fairytale continued as Swansea knocked out Chelsea to join Bradford City in the final, but all focus turned to Eden Hazard after the Chelsea midfielder apparently kicked a ballboy.
A match bereft of chances and action came to life in the 80th minute when Hazard aimed a kick at a ballboy behind the Swansea goal as he attempted to reclaim the ball.
Hazard became annoyed with the boy, who failed to return the ball promptly after it went out of play for a Swansea goal kick with 10 minutes left.
Hazard appeared to kick the boy as he tried to retrieve the ball from underneath him and after a delay of several minutes, the Belgian was shown a straight red card by referee Chris Foy.
In a bizarre twist, ballboy Charlie Morgan had earlier bragged about his plans to waste time as a ballboy during the game.
The king of all ball boys is back making his final appearance #needed #for #timewasting
— Charlie Morgan™ (@CHARLIEM0RGAN) January 23, 2013
Chelsea bemoaned the send-off during the game, but were quick to apologise after the match.
Apologiesfor earlier ballboy tweet. Hazard has now met with the ballboy and has saidsorry. #CFC
— Chelsea FC (@chelseafc) January 23, 2013
As the incident occurred, the club Tweeted: "Has football gone mad? Hazard is sent off for kicking the ball under a ball boy attempting to smother the ball rather than return it. #CFC"
That has since been removed.
Swansea captain Ashley Williams was quick to condemn Hazard's behaviour.
''(Chelsea striker) Demba Ba told me that the boy held onto it,'' he told Sky Sports after the final whistle.
"I saw him (Hazard) kick him in the ribs, and you can't do that.''
Swansea manager Michael Laudrup predicted that Hazard would quickly see the error of his ways, and said the club had not instructed their ball boys to waste time by holding onto the ball when it went out of play.
"I saw it from very distant, obviously from the bench, and just saw it (again) after the game,'' he said. "I think Hazard is a great player. I think when he sees the images on TV, he will regret it.''
On suggestions the ball boy was deliberately holding up play, Laudrup said: ``No, definitely not. He was pushed and he was on top of the ball.
"I can understand you're frustrated when you're behind and your pulse is going, but there are things you should never do.''
Protecting a 2-0 lead from the first leg two weeks ago, the Welsh club defended stubbornly to reach the first major cup final in their 100-year history.
They will play fourth-tier Bradford at Wembley Stadium on February 24, making for one of the more unpredictable showpiece matches in the competition's history.
Williams continued: "At times tonight it was like a bar fight especially when they were pushing on.
"The team defended brilliantly. That's what we worked on. We wanted to bring them back here and score a goal and keep a clean sheet. We didn't score but we kept a clean sheet."
Midfielder Leon Britton was equally ecstatic, adding: "It's unbelievable tonight. To do it over two legs against a team like Chelsea - tonight we made history.
"The club has come on leaps and bounds over the past 10 years."
Follow the action. Like Fox Sports.

if suarez kicked the ball boy, the media would be in a frenzy and he would be deported! anyone else does it, its fine!
The Beaver of Sydney says January 24, 2013 at 9:25 AM
Ive seen the footage of the Chelsea grub kicking the ballboy...If thats not an international life ban, the FA are weak as, you know what.
Big Marn of Matto says January 24, 2013 at 9:31 AM
Hazzard wont be playing for a while
Dave of home says January 24, 2013 at 9:33 AM
surely the ball boy and swansea should be sanctioned for cheating.
Pj of QLD says January 24, 2013 at 9:35 AM
@DudeRanch - So true that its depressing.
Brandon of Newcastle says January 24, 2013 at 9:38 AM
Ummmm he got a red card and has been condemned for it you spaz.

Shame Shame of Brisbane says January 24, 2013 at 9:40 AM
This is ridiculous...should be banned for the rest of the season in my personal opinion. How about assault charges, because that is what it amounts to.
Not 'fine' of Anywhere says January 24, 2013 at 9:42 AMDid you want to make a comment? Use our form below
DudeRanch I think the fact that this is a FoxSports headline within an hour of the game finishing suggest no-one anywhere thinks it's 'fine'. Suarez has a few indiscretions to his name, diving (continually), intentional handballs to win matches, he's a grub, a very talented grub but a grub none the less.
Tooves 4 PM of Fortress Brookie says January 24, 2013 at 9:52 AM
Typical Chelsea scum.
Aussie Al of Sydney says January 24, 2013 at 9:53 AM
Suarez is a grub
grazza of Konoha says January 24, 2013 at 9:59 AM
I'm sure hazard did not do it on purpose. the kid had no intention of giving him the ball. the kid deserved it.
Coxy of New York/Perth says January 24, 2013 at 9:59 AM
Well it wasnt fine. He got a straight red. Will be banned a game or more by the FA and the boy could get some money out of him through a lawsuit. There is enough evidence.
CB of QLD says January 24, 2013 at 10:03 AM
DudeRanch of Straya.. Maybe look on more than 1 website and you will realise this story about Hazard is everywhere.
Bob of KFC says January 24, 2013 at 10:07 AM
Suerez is biting, cheating tool! Anyways.... Looks like this Chalie Morgan kid was trying to cause trouble and got what he deserved! A fair old kick in the ribs! Disgusting actions by the kid to try and hold up the game! Clearly the CHAV has no concept of how to do a job! I feel sorry for the many fast food outlets that will have to employing over his lifetime.....
Nathan of Wodonga says January 24, 2013 at 10:09 AM
Both the ballboy and Eden Hazard are scum, shocking display of sportsmanship from both parties.
Az of Sydney says January 24, 2013 at 10:10 AM
Wow what a surprise - an unsavoury incident occurs in a football match and the first post is about Suarez - have a look at the the press its getting in the UK already about Hazard 'booting a ball boy' and 'trying to break his ribs'. As for what went on - did the ball kid know what he was doing? - Yes, it happens at every club they return the ball quickly to their home team but take a bit more time for the away side. Was Hazard an idiot for wrestling and trying to kick the ball out from under him? - Yes. Cop a three-game ban and a fine and move on
Dez of St James Park says January 24, 2013 at 10:11 AM
Lucky it wasn't Torres, he would have missed the ballboy.

kid thoroughly deserved it - little tw*t
unbiased view says January 24, 2013 at 10:19 AM
watching the footage he definitely tried to stop hazard getting it off him. Deserved the little tap in the ribs if you ask me. He was trying to be cool for his 3 twitter followers. Should be banned from all stadiums even as a spectator.
BC of Brisbane says January 24, 2013 at 10:21 AM
He should face a year ban, that is absolutely disgusting.
Coatesy of Newcastle says January 24, 2013 at 10:21 AM
Yes, the ballboy does seem like a bit of a smarty. Yes, seems he did intentionally hold up play. AND yes, he does look old enough to know better. BUT - that is no excuse for a professional sportsman to kick him or at him. There will be the idea that Hazard was trying to kick the ball out but that wont wash. This could be a real lengthy ban. The FA wont want to be seen to be lenient on such an act. Would hate to have Hazard in my fantasy squad..... Gee wont he get a reation at away grounds too!
Michael says January 24, 2013 at 10:25 AM
If Torres tried to kick the ballboy he would have missed.
brb lying on top of the ball of Swansea says January 24, 2013 at 10:27 AM
The little turd deserved it.
Nick Of UNITED of VIC says January 24, 2013 at 10:31 AM
That's because suarez has done untoward actions many times previously, and bought the game into disrepute. Hazard is usually exemplary on field.
Zac of Brisbane says January 24, 2013 at 10:33 AM
Hazard should get a long, long ban for that - as the commentator said, simply inexcusable. Regardless of whether or not the ball boy was wasting time, there is simply no excuse for that. Brings back memories of Tim Cahill being sent off in his last match for Everton for defending a ballboy who'd been pushed by Cabaye. Naturally the media didn't care so much then though.
Golden_Balls of Adelaide says January 24, 2013 at 10:33 AM
He was clearly kicking the ball to which the ball boy was smothering, he should not have done it but the media will run a Ferrari on an oily rag these days
Neutral Noise of Australia says January 24, 2013 at 10:33 AM
DudeRanch sounds like a suitable name for yourself. Nobody even mentioned Suarez so get off your high horse and even if they did ofcourse he would be treated differently, he has a history of being a poor character so why not judge him differrently. Nobody thinks kicking a ball boy is acceptable however he clearly kicks the ball out from under the kid and the kid puts on a show, this is after the kid jumps on the ball to slow the play up.

ball boy got what he deserved
Zed of WA says January 24, 2013 at 10:38 AM
Looked to me as though the ball-boy (how old was he?) should also have got a red for bringing the game into disrepute... better check him for Swansea tattoos.
John of Melbourne says January 24, 2013 at 10:38 AM
He was clearly trying to waste time, and in the heat of the moment Hazard reacted as many others would. Still a straight red of course
CFC For Life of Newcastle says January 24, 2013 at 10:40 AM
Lets be clear here; the kids turning 18 in a couple of weeks, so hes hardely a boy (infact theres 2 years age difference between the two). This is just another media beatup, a storm in a teacup. Hazard shouldn't have acted the way he did and in hindsight he'll know that...but you can see in the video he has no intent to hurt the ballboy, he was just trying to get the ball back in play. The ballboys tweet before the game sums up his intent. Full credit to Swansea, fully deserved to go through, Michael Laudrup is a highly underated manager. We looked tired and void of ideas and I'm sorry Rafa is not the answer. Fingers crossed for the return of the special one next season to get the team performing, as it just isn't our season this year.
DudeRanch of Comment 1: You're Clearly Retarded. says January 24, 2013 at 10:42 AM
Football administrators at FIFA seriously should be ripping the code of conduct rules of the game to shreds, and starting all over again. They were drafted well before cheating was rife in the game, and now that the vast culture is to cheat at all costs to win (in any sport actually), just do ANYTHING that cheats, undermines, tricks, devalues the play, in the hope that SOMEONE might get carded. That's the aim of the game now - to play football now is barely important. It's unbelievable that that brat of a ballboy just flopped and laid all over the ball, when it's his role to quickly PROVIDE the ball back! So now HE'S a cheat, he behaves disgracefully like that - Hazard gets sent off, and we all say Hazard's disgraceful?! He kicked the ball, not the brat - but the brat simulated (of course, like his 'heroes' all now do), and here we are. Tell me this - would that horrid brat's parents be upstanding and proud of his role in the affair - the way he behaved? I wish Hazard properly thumped him and they got on with playing the sport the way it was intended.
Happy Man City of Brisbane says January 24, 2013 at 10:43 AM
Ball Boy turns Stall Boy! We all know what he was doing! Hazard got sucked into the act. Simple!
Matt of Jo Town says January 24, 2013 at 10:43 AM
Lol I totally and completely agree with you DudeRanch. I will be interested to see what type of media coverage Hazard gets over this. If it were Suarez he would be crucified.
Red Devil of Old Trafford says January 24, 2013 at 10:47 AM
That's because Suarez plays for Liverpool.
Harden Up!! of SA says January 24, 2013 at 10:49 AM
I say keep kicking him!!!
Scouser of Oz says January 24, 2013 at 10:51 AM
Couldn't agree more DudeRanch! It's an absolute joke the way that Suarez is treated by the English press!

Isn't it the ballboys job to give the ball back???? He was being a pest laying on the ball and was given a lovetap! Making a mountain out of a molehill
pbarty says January 24, 2013 at 10:53 AM
it was wrong what he done but then again bet the ballboy will think twice about wasting time hope someone said something to him especially when he told people he was gonna waste time but still no excuse to kick him
BM of Sydney says January 24, 2013 at 10:54 AM
Massive dive from the ballboy, even has a peek at the ref to try to get a reaction. Should have sent him off instead
Snake69au of Brisbane says January 24, 2013 at 10:59 AM
Certainly do not condone the ballboy clearly delaying return of the ball but Hazard was stupid to think he could do what he did. Pretty weak Cantona inpression really
The Man on the Moon, of Moon says January 24, 2013 at 11:00 AM
Another sad day for football - even the ball boy takes a dive!! Honestly, the boy is a little thug and deserved it. He made no effort to release the ball (clearly he's not a rugby union player!). It was clear he was trying to hold up the play. That said, Hazard could have made a better effort rather than kicking at the ball, he needs to take note of David Pocock pilfering skills!!
Its football not soccer says January 24, 2013 at 11:04 AM
Why the drama? He had every right to get the ball from the ball boy, who was being a little turd by not returning it. Hazard kicked the ball not the boy. What a sook.
TomMUFC of Perth says January 24, 2013 at 11:05 AM
I've already seen some people compare this to Cantona. A bit rich... Ballboy clearly wasting time, but Hazard is a professional and shouldn't stoop down to that level. I'm tipping a few weeks on the sidelines
coops of sydney says January 24, 2013 at 11:06 AM
what a little runt. held onto the ball to delay the game. the push was soft, and he laid on top of the ball deliberately. you don't kick the kid, but disgraceful move on the part of the kid.
Neilo of Perth says January 24, 2013 at 11:06 AM
Disgusting behaviour by Hazard. Deserved to be sent off and should be banned for a few weeks. But what was the ballboy doing, they are supposed to speed up the game aren't they?
Cheeky Beggar says January 24, 2013 at 11:06 AM
Wow, inexcusable from both of them I think. As a child I was a ballboy for a local rugby league team. Even as a nine-year-old I understood the benefits of not being in a hurry all the time. I copped the occasional four-letter word from opposition players, but never a boot. Then again, I never laid on the ball either. This kid is much older than nine, and given his tweet, I'm sure that was intentional time-wasting. Should have been two red cards. Based on his theatrics, he has a bright future in the sport.

Liverpool Fan of Brisbane says January 24, 2013 at 11:11 AM
what the hell was the ball boy doing anyway? He was just lying on the ball rather than throwing it back!
Matt of Brisbane says January 24, 2013 at 11:11 AM
Can't condone Hazards reaction at all, but surely the obviously idiotic actions of the ball boy to smother the ball, instead of doing what he was supposed to do and promptly return it can't be ignored. Watching the footage Hazard even tried prying the ball from beneath him before losing his temper. Hazard deserves whatever is coming his way, but the ball boy deserves a ban of some sort to teach him a lesson as well.
Matt of Perth says January 24, 2013 at 11:14 AM
Laudrup you're kidding yourself if you think that ballboy wasn't time wasting - he was lying on the ball for like 5 seconds! Hazard shouldn't have done what he did but don't act like the kid is all innocent. Congrats to Swansea, what a great final to see, Bradford vs Swansea. I know Bradford well, I took them from Division 2 to Premier League Champions back in the days of Fifa 12.
Branton says January 24, 2013 at 11:15 AM
As a ManU supporter, I tihnk its fair to say that boy was holindg onto the ball. Not saying that it was right for him to be kicked, but I dont think he should be paid for that effort.
jesseppi of athens says January 24, 2013 at 11:17 AM
its not fine dude ranch, hazard will be disciplined and fined, possibly facing police charges. stupid liverpool supporter.
Nick of Anfield says January 24, 2013 at 11:21 AM
Ridiculous and inexcusable behaviour. Eden lives up to his name! He should receive a lengthy ban for that, at least 10 matches. Congratulations to Swansea.
Impartial Observer of Football Heaven. says January 24, 2013 at 11:24 AM
Well the tweet does cast a shadow (you have to love social media), he'll regret that one, but turn to the ref and get him to deal with it. Who kicks a kid while they are in a defenseless position like that? Well obviously the answer is EPL players. EPL players behaving badly - love it. The list is endless, John Terry, Steven Gerrard, Mario Balotelli, Joey Barton......its great theater.
diving nancies says January 24, 2013 at 11:26 AM
May have just tapped the boy at worst, and the boy perked up once he thought there was a chance the ref might take action. What a bunch of nancies. Johnny Warren, you were right!
ServesHimRight of HopeItHurt says January 24, 2013 at 11:27 AM
The little sod was clearly wasting time, as he had planned to. I would have kicked him even harder. If his parents are half decent at parenting they won't be praising their son's actions, but then again, they were probably at the bar and missed it.

thought he was trying to kick the ball out from underneath the ballboy
Charge Forward of Square Leg says January 24, 2013 at 11:34 AM
As a professional, obviously Hazard should not have kicked him. Not a good look for the game. That being said however, what is also obvious is that the ball boy knew EXACTLY what he was doing. A massive fine or suspension will teach Hazard not to do this again. Maybe ball boys too, can learn something from this. They are there to retrieve and distribute footballs - NOT to influence the outcome of the game.
He Deserved it of Qld says January 24, 2013 at 11:35 AM
The ball boy deserved it, he was clearly holding up play, as he rolled both ways when hazard tried to get the ball. Chelsea has grounds to file a complaint against Swansea. The ball boy may have only been a kid, but he's still an employee of that club. It wouldn't have made a difference as chelsea couldn't win, but it may have been the difference between an extra goal, and i'm sure a lot of punters wouldn't have been happy.
Tomikin of Canberra via Brisbane says January 24, 2013 at 11:38 AM
The kids a 17 year old toser, who was slowing down the game on purpose. I know it's bad to kick him and should get banned. but gee he deserved it and would have felt good.
kevin mallia of United States says January 24, 2013 at 11:40 AM
Can you imagine if Suarez kicked the ball boy, he would have been linched by now ! Typical of the media to go all quiet.

I would have probably put the boot in too. Cheeky little bugger.
LiverpoolMad of Brisbane says January 24, 2013 at 11:52 AM
He should be banned for the rest of the season for this but will probably just receive a slap on the wrist. Such is the injustice in the FA.
Dennis of Sydney says January 24, 2013 at 11:55 AM
Unlucky ball boy, if it was Torres he would've missed! However, it's better than if it was John Terry, he would've shagged him, Cole would've shot him! Joking aside, it was a disgraceful behaviour by Eden Hazard, the ball boy slipped and he kicked him. Welcome to the Chelsea culture.
whiskers of london says January 24, 2013 at 12:03 PM
I would say by this article the media are in a frenzy. He shouldn't have kicked him but what on earth is the ballboy thinking lying on the ball to waste time, he should be sacked and hazard should get a game or two suspension
Jack of Swansea says January 24, 2013 at 12:04 PM
Big fan of swansea's win but that kid was taking absolute liberties with holding onto/lying on top of the ball. Swansea didnt need him to time waste like that and it's taken the focus off a great win. Deserved nothing less than a love tap from Hazard. Toughen up son, no need to cry.

DudeRanch of Straya.... Are you reading different articles to everyone else? Hazard is copping sprays left right and centre for this. Why are you even comparing this to Suarez? He has nothing to do with it. Maybe you should actually read the articles before you post.
BooHoo of sydney says January 24, 2013 at 12:05 PM
sack the ball boy. what was he doing lying on the ball in the first place, stalling to help swansea...the kids a sook...go and suck down a few more sodas and candy chubby..
Arsenal of London Colney says January 24, 2013 at 12:10 PM
the ball boy is clearly holding the ball away from hazard though and not giving it to anyone..... Hazard has every right to get frustrated at him. Maybe he shouldn't kick him though, but in honesty it does look like he's trying to kick the ball from under him...... and before anyone starts whinging about this i'm an arsenal fan.

FA will do absolutely nothing. Football federations these days have become so impotent they need get some balls back. Hazard should be suspended and Swansea should be fined as well.

GoGoGunners of Melbourne says January 24, 2013 at 12:25 PM
Maybe there would be a little more outrage if it weren't pretty clear that the ballkid was timewasting. Of course what hazard did is inexcusable, and frankly, just plain idiocy, but the ballkid is not exactly an innocent here either.
MV of Sydney says January 24, 2013 at 12:26 PM
The kid was clearly time wasting. I don't think Hazards action were acceptable but there is clearly a lot of pressure, money and expectation on the line for these players. When some immature kid wants to interfere emotions will boil over. Hazard was clearly in the wrong but if this kid performed his role properly this never would have happened.
Keiran says January 24, 2013 at 12:28 PM
@duderanch Possibly, but then again Eden isn't a diving racist pig.. And I'd hardly perceive receiving a red card as a smaller punishment. Hazard was clearly trying to kick the ball out from under the time wasting ball-boy and believe me, if it were I, I would have aimed a well taken kick at the little cheats face.

Hazard should be fined and suspended for a number of games. In saying that the ball boy should be banned too. His old enough to know what he was doing with a deliberate hold up in play holding the ball up and should face punishment too

the ball boy is a muppet for smothering a ball pretty much instead of giving it to eden when he was obviously requesting for it, and deserved a kick for being a smart alek. however, with accordance to the laws of the game it was a fair call eden off.
andrew of dude ranch right says January 24, 2013 at 1:11 PM

Spitfire says January 24, 2013 at 1:36 PM
Both parties in the wrong here but get some perspective. To be fair, Hazard kicked the ball out from underneath the lad who was clearly timewasting, certainly wasn't an assault and claims he "kicked the ballboy" are wide of the mark at best, sensationalist journalism at the worst. Should be end of story with Hazard presumably serving a match ban and the lad being named in Wales' Six Nations rugby squad for his scrummaging skills.
Kevin of Melbourne says January 24, 2013 at 1:37 PM

Tugga of Glenwood says January 24, 2013 at 1:47 PM
Not condoning what Hazzard did (Not a Chelsea fan in the slightest!!) but the ballboy had an agenda (if you look at his tweets before the game) & he was definitely laying over the ball to waste time. I think its quite clear that Hazzard tried to kick the ball from underneath him......and missed....well, not his ribs!!!! Ballboy should NOT be allowed on the pitch again & Hazzard should get a nice fine & a nice break from the game as well!!! What is going on with these footballers....Too much $$$$ is rotting their brains methinks!
eden's right boot of some little punk's ribs says January 24, 2013 at 1:50 PM
the little (insert favourite insult here) was clearly cheating, chelsea are trying to make a cup final, not saying it's right but what was hazard supposed to do, let him keep wasting time? i do think he was trying to kick the ball out from under him, not kick the kid.
GaryG of OZ says January 24, 2013 at 2:07 PM
Its as bad if not worse than cantona kicking the crystal palace fan years ago. Okay the kick probably isn't as forceful, but its still a kick and on a ballboy. Should be suspended til the end of the season.

hammered of West ham says January 24, 2013 at 7:02 PM
the ball-boy was cheating for his club, but the ref should always blow time off in these cases and get the offender removed from the sideline. I have yet to see a post about the ref's mistake in not stopping the clock when these things happen. If they did then no player would be worried about going to get the ball. That kid could take it home with him and they could just go and get another ball. When you put pressure on players this way you must take responsibility for any unwanted actions. It would never happen if the ref had control and was on good terms with the players who know he won't let any cheats get away with their cheating. Hazard is the third party in this incident, the boy and the ref are the cause, but you won't see them in the news. The boy needed a boot up the backside years ago as cheats need practice to get this far and his parents obviously have no control over him as he has no respect for even his football heros.
Jason of Sydney says January 24, 2013 at 7:11 PM
FA needs to apologise to Hazard and Chelsea. Ball boy blatantly boasted on twitter that he was going to cheat to help Swansea, and then did it.

suarez imposter of mount isa says January 24, 2013 at 9:39 PM

luapa of Btown says January 25, 2013 at 7:56 AM
Hazard should sue the premier league..Basically they are implying that he is a child abuser by banning him. The little oompa loompa shouldn't even be on the sideline. The kids appeal to the ref was hilarious. Sorry son, you have to be in the team to be awarded a penalty.
John of Northern Beaches says January 25, 2013 at 8:58 AM
Im backing Hazard. Have a look at the stories that are emerging of the lifestyle this kid lives and his general attitude and tell me he doesnt need a good kicking. Furrthermore, looking at the general state of young people in the UK I would suggest that the more 17 year olds that get a kicking the better, The British Home secretary should be giving Hazard a contract to get to work pulling British youth into line.
Lee of Perth says January 25, 2013 at 11:47 AM

CHEWSEE CHEWSEE of Surry Hills says January 26, 2013 at 3:10 PM
Why was the Swansea ball boy attempting to cheat? Football needs to take a look at itself Soo... I do NOT understand why Swansea City Football Club have not been sanctioned for a breach of duty of care under the occupation work place agreement for professional football under UK workplace law. The club have allowed a "minor" to actively influence a professional football match in a manner that has given credibility for any "child" to do the same thing in the future! This could set a dangerous precedence in the manner in which matches are conducted. I do NOT condone Eden'd behaviour, however, he is a professional footballer carrying out his employment within the boundary of play. And, at the time, was under extreme emotional and physical duress. The "child" in question, committed an act that was unsportsmanlike at best. At worst, a deliberate attempt to change the course of the match. I put to you, that Swansea City FC should forfeit the tie, and be relegated to the 4th division,. The "child" in question, should be made to listen to every Barry Manilow album in historical sequence every day for the rest of his life. The case for the defence rests your honour.

I normally wear a 38-B so that's what I ordered. The band size was a very tight squeeze. Order a band size larger than you think you want! It's a very pretty bra and I plan to order two more but in a 40-B. -
I LOVED this style but sadly the cups were not large enough so I had to try another.
The style is unique with the single hook and it was fabulous to have a bra with straps that didn't fall every 2 seconds. I also loved the soft pink color.
This is a very good bra for men. The front closure adjusts for a great fit. It can also be worn with breast forms.

UPDATE (WIFR) -- Rockford aldermen approved a new fast food joint
A Chick-Fil-A Restaurant is coming to the Lowe's Parking lot at State and Perryville. There's no word on when the restaurant plans to open its doors.
Chick-fil-A has applied to open a fast food restaurant and a drive thru in the Lowe's parking lot at State and Perryville in Rockford. Two city council committees have approved the application. It will be voted on next Tuesday. Alderman Doug Mark says he thinks it will have no problem passing. You may remember the chain came under fire last year because of comments made by the restaurant's c-e-o about gay marriage.

Ears on with the Nokia Purity Pro wireless headphones
Finally! a quality sounding Nokia Monster headset! - My exact thoughts as I listened to a track straight from my own Lumia 920 paired to Nokia's Monster branded headset only a few moments before.
Here are MWC Nokia have announced a slew of accessories, mostly focussing arround the wireless charging being offered with the new Lumia 720 and 520. However there are also a few of the older accessories on show for us to try out, and despite the purity pro headset winning an award at CES, we haven't yet put the cups over our ears - that changed today.
Now the reason we haven't been rushing to try these is that the previous Nokia/Monster effort (wired) is honestly very underwhelming. I tried out that headset immediately before the Purity Pro's just to remind myself of why I wouldn't put down any kind of money for the admittedly striking headphones.
Then came the Purity Pro, and I came away very impressed. Immediately bluetooth pairing the device with NFC in a matter of seconds, I threw on one of my most listened to tracks of late so I had a valid reference point. Bass level was immersive and deep, mids were well balanaced and even the high-range was distinguishable (although not perfect).
Still, at $349 these are most certainly a luxury purchase (and you may want to ask yourself how comfortable you are wearing that money on your head), and they probably don't rival offerings from Beats or Sennheiser. Still, they look awesome, they pair in no time and if you've got the space cash down the back of your sofa cushion, you'll want to check them out.

349 is a lot of money !
I'm not sure if I'm willing to pay that kind of money for it , especially after trying it predecessor a few times !
The old one felt like the Beats stuff , only a name !
To be fair , the original Beats By Dre before it became a hipster brand was really good ... Especially with my kind of music (Hip-Hop lol) .
That said , I'm not an audio expert, but if I'm gonna spend that kind of money , i rather buy a Bose or something similar.
tallgeese says:
I find it odd that you suggested dishing out that kind of money on Bose to listen to Hip-Hop.
You don't even know what the Purity Pro sounds like. It makes me curious if Apple made these and sold them for the same price or higher if you'd rush out to get them because "everyone else" did.
How much are you willing to pay for sneakers I wonder? I know someone who paid $400 for a pair of basketball shoes and I'm pretty sure he makes less than half of my salary, which is six figures...for now.
IceDree says:
Good point ,
I suggested Bose , because its the only one i tried so far , i haven't tried Denon or Sennheiser yet .
Speakers wise , i tried Bose , Bowers & Wilkins , Bang & Olufsen & Harman/Kardon .
Apple doesn't need to make ones , so everyone can rush & get them , because "Everyone Else" ! Beats got the covered ;) lol
I don't wear Sneakers , i prefer Boots , anyway that's a different story , but i won't pay for sneakers because some rapper have his name on it ... Sure as hell i won't pay 400+ for some Air Yezzy sneakers !
tallgeese says:
Lol. Not that it's any of my business, but I'm glad you wouldn't pay $400 for sneakers...I was floored by this. ;-)
IceDree says:
That said , its a good looking headset , i saw it last night in a Lumia 920 TV commercial
ammarmalik2011 says:
$350?? No thanks. I'd rather buy something like a Denon D2000 or Sennheiser HD598 which will annhilate this toy.
seeker fi says:
To me the question is how good is the noise cancel tech on these? Paid probably about the same for my Sennheiser 250's back in the day, and they are wired with that extra battery compartment.
tallgeese says:
They're made by Apple. So what about now? If you're interested, I have this bridge...in Brooklyn... ;O)
socalrailroader says:
Yellow? Yuck lol
fpostrow says:
Really? Haven't seen them in Cyan on Amazon. Do they have that color on display at MWC? I need black, red AND cyan.
Dreadi66 says:
SWEET! I just got a free Microsoft points card pin at freemspointsforever com
Miksup says:
How about Nokia branded Bluetooth deadmouse head?
Luminatic says:
As a noise-pained open plane office worker, I ask: How good is the noise cancellation on these? Does anybody know?
fpostrow says:
Excellent question. I'd love to know how they compare as air travel is a primary use and NC is a key feature. I like how the Purity pro can be used wireless or wired unlike some of the competition.
westex74 says:
where can you buy these at? Can't find anyone that has them in stock!
aschaps says:
Keep in mind it was monster that designed the original Beats line. Would this be comparable, even better considering Monster has a bone to pick with Dre and his contract robbing cronies? Too rich for my blood, but wouldn't mind seeing Beats lose a share of the market in the spirit of Karma.
jmerrey says:
When you consider the feature set, 349 isn't bad. Its actually right in line with other high-end, over the ear, BT headsets.
rcciren says:
Is it just me or do these make you look like a Cyberman??? ;-)
missionsparta says:
I have Grado 80's... Anyone use them against each other?
cowboy620 says:
Ya ya they do look like if you wear them you'd look like a cyberman LOL.
GSOgymrat says:
I've purchased a black set from Amazon but they are backordered with no date in sight. Thanks to the author for confirmingthe sound quality is good.
Es yo says:
I have a choice to buy a lumia 920 or the 8x. I listen to music alot. Pretty much every genre. Is the Dolby audio better than the beats audio or vice versa? Or their both just gimmick? I don't want to make a bad purchase. Thanks.
cdb033 says:
Beats are better.
John Lukitsh says:
The Beats EQ in the 8x is gimmicky, but with that being said, the amp im the 8x is impressive! If you can cram all of your music into 16GB of storage, the 8x will give you better audio quality when paired with a decent pair of headphones. Unfortunately, 16GB of storage wasn't enough storage space for me, so I opted for the 920, whose audio still sounds really good!
HNNNNNGHHH says:
Typical comment from a Beats fanboy.
jrlive says:
I used to own a pair and they are very washed out sounding and very very uncomfortable to wear - my fault I lost money on them because I bought from the hype, They are dreadful.
Hearing good reviews aboout the Purity Pro's but will definitiely want to be listening to them first!
HNNNNNGHHH says:
Just really depends on the genre of music you listen to. Beats is mainly for any music falling within Hip-Hop or any other bass-heavy genre out there. Dolby is a bit more well-rounded, performing well for all types of music.
Coming down to it, it's mretty much personal reference at this point. Good luck choosing!
cdb033 says:
I wang black ones. I wonder how they sound compared to my V-Modas?
mkorablin says:
I was first excited that these sound quite good, but after I read through the part that says that beats are better the excitement pretty much evaporated. I was hoping these will be at least on Bose QC15 level.
stimshady says:
What's the point when we still don't have any GAPLESS PLAYBACK....GRRRRRRR!!
Eric The Fruit Bat says:
What the viewer failed to mention is that these beasties all support Apt-X-which means it'll use its better codec with phones that deploy Apt-X
Any guesses as to how many WP8 devivces support Apt-X? Anyone? Bueller?
Samsung is known to be using APt-X in the SGS 3 and the GNote II-but I kinda doubt that any of the ATIV S series is flogging that.....

The EU emissions trading system (EU ETS) is a cornerstone of the European Union's policy to combat climate change and its key tool for reducing industrial greenhouse gas emissions cost-effectively. The first - and still by far the biggest - international system for trading greenhouse gas emission allowances, the EU ETS covers more than 11,000 power stations and industrial plants in 31 countries, as well as airlines.
EU ETS: Key facts
The EU ETS works on the 'cap and trade' principle. A 'cap', or limit, is set on the total amount of certain greenhouse gases that can be emitted by the factories, power plants and other installations in the system. The cap is reduced over time so that total emissions fall. In 2020, emissions from sectors covered by the EU ETS will be 21% lower than in 2005.
Within the cap, companies receive or buy emission allowances which they can trade with one another as needed. They can also buy limited amounts of international credits from emission-saving projects around the world. The limit on the total number of allowances available ensures that they have a value.
After each year a company must surrender enough allowances to cover all its emissions, otherwise heavy fines are imposed. If a company reduces its emissions, it can keep the spare allowances to cover its future needs or else sell them to another company that is short of allowances. The flexibility that trading brings ensures that emissions are cut where it costs least to do so.
By putting a price on carbon and thereby giving a financial value to each tonne of emissions saved, the EU ETS has placed climate change on the agenda of company boards and their financial departments across Europe. A sufficiently high carbon price also promotes investment in clean, low-carbon technologies.
In allowing companies to buy international credits, the EU ETS also acts as a major driver of investment in clean technologies and low-carbon solutions, particularly in developing countries.
Launched in 2005, the EU ETS is now in its third phase, running from 2013 to 2020. A major revision approved in 2009 in order to strengthen the system means the third phase is significantly different from phases one and two and is based on rules which are far more harmonised than before. The main changes are:
Greenhouse gases and sectors included
While emissions trading has the potential to cover many economic sectors and greenhouse gases, the focus of the EU ETS is on emissions which can be measured, reported and verified with a high level of accuracy.
The system covers emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from power plants, a wide range of energy-intensive industry sectors and commercial airlines. Nitrous oxide emissions from the production of certain acids and emissions of perfluorocarbons from aluminium production are also included (see box).
Participation in the EU ETS is mandatory for companies operating in these sectors, but in some sectors only plants above a certain size are included. Governments can exclude certain small installations from the system if fiscal or other measures are in place that will cut their emissions by an equivalent amount.
For commercial airlines, the system covers CO2 emissions from flights within and between countries participating in the EU ETS (except Croatia, until 2014). International flights to and from non-ETS countries are also covered, but as a goodwill gesture the European Commission has proposed deferring the scheme's application to these for 2012 to allow time for agreement on a global framework for tackling aviation missions to be reached in autumn 2013.
Altogether the EU ETS covers around 45% of total greenhouse gas emissions from the 27 EU countries.
The EU ETS has put a price on carbon and shown that it is possible to trade in greenhouse gas emissions. Emissions from installations in the scheme are falling as intended.
The success of the EU ETS has inspired other countries and regions to launch cap and trade schemes of their own. The EU aims to link up the ETS with compatible systems around the world to form the backbone of an expanded international carbon market. The European Commission has agreed in principle to link the ETS with Australia's system in stages from mid-2015.
However, the ETS also faces a challenge in the form of a growing surplus of allowances, largely because of the economic crisis which has depressed emissions more than anticipated. In the short term this surplus risks undermining the orderly functioning of the carbon market; in the longer term it could affect the ability of the EU ETS to meet more demanding emission reduction targets cost-effectively.
The Commission has therefore taken the initiative to postpone (or 'back-load') the auctioning of some allowances as an immediate measure, while also launching a debate on structural measures which could provide a sustainable solution to the surplus in the longer term.

Stage 3: Wanze – Arenberg
Wanze – Arenberg Porte du Hainaut
"My Tour has been finished by bad luck. I've worked a year preparing for this race."
Just two miles of cobbles in 2004 proved enough to ruin Iban Mayo's race, along with Christophe Moreau and, predictably, the crash-prone Denis Menchov.
Today the peloton covers 13.2km of the rough stuff before reaching the finish in Arenberg – although they avoid the famous Arenberg trench, sadly. Throw some rain in the mix and we could see conditions like Paris-Roubaix 2002, where Hincapie flounders and Museeuw powers on alone.

I'm not insensitive to the riders plight yesterday, but i'm siding firmly with Wiggo: They knew the stage details and they should have the skill and nous to deal with the prevailing conditions, excepting that there may indeed have been oil or something on the road. Moaning about it afterwards makes them look vaguely pathetic. It's a pain in the arse to crash and my sympathies go out to those injured yesterday, but that's cycling. I've crashed plenty on tarmac and off road, and whilst i don't look forward to it, i don't fear it: grazes heal, broken bones mend. I don't reckon for one second it will put any of them off coming back next year. Wiggo had it absolutely right, Armstrong was pragmatic, Hunter sounded like a whinger.
Be bold guys, it's why we love you!
I realise i may provoke some criticism or worse for this post, but it's the TDF not flower arranging. (No offense to horticulturalists!)

Nice comment, thanks Paul. Whilst it was great to see Chavanel ride for the stage win like that, the drama would've been amplified by the big guns risking it a bit by chasing on…
Think they were saving themselves for today… A pretty awesome stage, good to see them putting down the secateurs and pick up/lay down the hammer over the pave.

Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

Heat wave blamed for 23 deaths
Updated: October 24, 2012 10:09PM
An autopsy conducted Thursday confirmed a 23rd heat-related deaths in Cook County in the last week, but only the second time in which heat was the primary cause of death.
Jerry Herrington, 73, of the 6600 block of South Loomis Avenue, was found unresponsive at his home July 6. He was pronounced dead at Holy Cross Hospital at 6:14 a.m. Tuesday, the Cook County medical examiner's office said. An autopsy Thursday found he died of heat stroke.
The only other person to suffer heat stroke, 40-year-old Danny Wadell, died July 6, the medical examiner's office said.

So, basically, I had this idea while browsing Safebooru (would've been Danbooru but blahblahblah) for Pokemon personifications, and it goes a bit like this...
A Pokemon professor (probably Oak, that dumb bastard who forgets his grandkid's name every time) had this idea, to make a machine that would let Pokemon speak human languages, and even gathered one of pretty much every species to test it on. But he fucked up. Big time.
Instead, he wound up turning them into humans (through many layers of scientific bullshittery) so now we've got a few hundred Pokemon-gone-humans running about and...that's all I've figured out as of yet ^_^
I'm thinking we could have Darkrai or Giratina (how did Oak get his hands on those!?) or some other shady legendary act as a sort of "RAWRRRRR I'M GONNA CONQUER THE WORLD!" kind of baddie, but aside from the idea I just presented, I know nothing about this RP as of yet ^_^;
That means it's up to all of us as a whole to shape it up, really. That's a good thing, I think~
I've reserved the spot of Cubone in the event that this RP gets on its feet, and my friend Fish of Oblivion reserved Volcarona. Short of those two and Giratina/Darkrai/other unlikely legendaries (Deoxys, Jirachi, etc.) all spots are wide open.
So, interest???
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.
Alright. Let's see if we can't fish in one or two more people, then I'll put up the OOC
I am so interested. Haha, not sure who as though. Maybe Nidoqueen or King...
Do they still somewhat have traits like their pokemon selves?
Ooh, or maybe Zoroark. Oh the choices.
I am fairly interested. I think it has been a while since I RPed, so I am hesitant to join a casual so soon.
HEH, why the hell not? I claim Ninetales, if that is ok.
Once you see it, you'll shit bricks.
Alright, looks like we have a nice amount of players ready. I'm going to build the OOC pretty soon (managing a number of sites at once isn't easy ^_^) so hang tight

You were the wind that let me go
I'll say goodbye
So this is goodbye
But I'm afraid to speak
So with words I'll tell the story
You meant so much to me
And like the night upon nights to come
I will dream of you
And know that I will see you seen
Give me the strength to carry on!
You are the ocean tide!
The swells swept you away
I was a son made of sand
You were the wind that let me go
When the ocean tide has risen to high
And the waters have come to carry you away
Remember I will always be there to sing you to sleep....."
Alright, let's all head into the OOC
We seem to have a fair number now :3

Computer Helper
Computer Helper required a modern flyer design which was to be used as part of a residential mail drop. They wanted dominant colors to be included - dark blue with orange, as these have already been incorporated in the Computer Helper logo. The design itself should be clean and easy to digest. A large amount of text will need to be included, so larger sized fonts should be used to make sections of the flyer more prominent.

During the last Novell BrainShare, attendees were introduced to the new Novell Conferencing. The slide shows used are now available. Below you will find a list of presentations, links, and summaries. Enjoy!
Introduction to Novell Conferencing
Cash may be king in accounting, but communication is king in business. Some challenges that businesses face in communicating are limited travel budgets, limited software budgets, and the lack of simplicity in existing solutions. Novell Conferencing provides the solution for businesses dealing with communication issues and these types of challenges. Find out more about Novell Conferencing in this presentation.
Installing and Configuring Novell Conferencing
Novell Conferencing will initially be released as a hosted service. Later in 2010, an on-premise version will be available. This presentation provides an overview of the system architecture and installation and configuration for the on-premise version.
Disclaimer: As with everything else at Cool Solutions, this content is definitely not supported by Novell (so don't even think of calling Support if you try something and it blows up).
It was contributed by a community member and is published "as is." It seems to have worked for at least one person, and might work for you. But please be sure to test, test, test before you do anything drastic with it.
