PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh basketball coach Jamie Dixon isn't much on style points.
Good thing, because there weren't many to go around in the 23rd-ranked Panthers' 56-46 win over Seton Hall on Monday night.
Pitt shot a season-low 35 percent (16 of 46), turned it over 13 times and let the undermanned Pirates hang around for far too long. Yet it didn't stop the surging Panthers (19-5, 7-4 Big East) from winning for the sixth time in seventh games to give their turnaround season another welcome shot of momentum.
"There's not a lot of teams with 19 wins in the country, that's first and foremost," Dixon said. "You've got to find different ways. We're not going to win every game the same way."
Barely 48 hours after an emotional upset of Syracuse, Pitt slogged its way past Seton Hall by shutting down the Pirates over the game's final 10 minutes.
Lamar Patterson scored 12 points and grabbed 10 rebounds and freshman center Steven Adams added eight points, 15 rebounds and two blocks for the Panthers, who survived on grit on a night they struggled to get into any sort of rhythm.
"When your shots aren't falling, it does get frustrating, but it's a good sign," Patterson said. "We fought through some things and faced a little adversity. We've just got to get our legs back."
Cameron Wright scored six of his eight points during a game-ending 18-8 surge that prevented Pitt from stubbing its toe after taking down the Orange.
"I just try to bring a lot of energy to the table, when I try to get an opportunity to score, I try to be aggressive," Wright said.
Fuquan Edwin led the Pirates (13-10, 2-8) with 23 points but was slowed after injuring his right ankle midway through the second half. Seton Hall shot just 33 percent (14 of 42) from the field and made just two baskets over the final 10:37.
"I'm kind of proud of our guys and way able to shuffle around and do different things," Seton Hall coach Kevin Willard said. "I thought other guys stepped up and kept fighting."
Pitt finally found some breathing room midway through the second half after Seton Hall took a 39-38 lead. Patterson hit a layup off a nice feed from Adams to put the Panthers in front for good and Adams followed with a nifty spin move for a dunk.
The quickly developing 7-footer hung on the rim, however, and received a technical foul for his efforts. Seton Hall's Kyle Smyth hit both free throws to pull the Pirates back within 42-41, but things changed for Seton Hall after Edwin landed awkwardly on his right ankle while battling for a rebound with 7:38 remaining.
Edwin hobbled to the bench and returned to the game a minute later after a quick examination, but he wasn't the same.
Neither were the Pirates.
Though Edwin would somehow make a lay-up while basically playing on one foot, it marked Seton Hall's only bucket for a 10-minute span until Haralds Karlis put home a meaningless dunk in the waning seconds.
Pitt outrebounded Seton Hall 40-28, including a 20-10 edge in the second half.
"The rebounding has improved, there's no question about it," Dixon said. "But I think our defense has improved too. We've got to win with that."
The Panthers vaulted back into the rankings following a 65-55 upset of the Orange over the weekend, the kind of victory Pitt needed to give its steady but hardly spectacular resume a boost.
Barely 48 hours after the season's biggest triumph, the Panthers flirted with giving away all of the goodwill they built.
The Pirates came in losers of seven of their last eight and were playing without sophomore guard Aaron Crosby, who missed the game for personal reasons. Minus its third-leading scorer, Seton Hall relied heavily on Edwin to handle most of the scoring and a frenetic, borderline out-of-control defense to force Pitt into a series of rushed shots and sloppy turnovers.
"It was a typical Big East game, we just didn't shoot the ball well," Pitt guard Tray Woodall said. "I think they did a good job of switching up their defenses and sending a bunch of junk defenses at us."
The Panthers took a quick seven-point lead then went more than 6 minutes without a field goal. The team that began the night second in assist/turnover ratio had just six assists on six turnovers in a disjointed opening 20 minutes that ended with an ugly 24-all .
Pitt quickly built another seven-point advantage early in the second half but Seton Hall scratched its way back in front 39-38 on a free throw by Edwin with 9:44 to go. It would be the Pirates' last hurrah on a night Pitt found a way even if it wasn't particularly pretty.

Monthly Development Update - January 2013
Obviously the recent news about studio re-structuring brings with it a whole host of questions about the future for Age of Conan. The good news is that the game won't be going anywhere and that development will be continued by a central team for all our titles based at our North Carolina studio.
Of course, this also means that some members of our current team will be moving on to new challenges while others will continue as part of the new central team which will continue forming quality updates for us. Our Raleigh studio already has most of our customer service, billing, quality assurance and community teams, so bringing the developers closer to them will be beneficial for a live game. The new shared pool of people is a very experienced, passionate and skilled team that I highly respect, with a continued passion for working on all three games.
I am very proud of everything this current iteration of the team has created over the last two years here in Montreal, and this marks a perfect opportunity to reflect upon that. The latest Dragon's Spine content, House of Crom, and the Savage Coast content before it, will stand as a lasting testament to the talented group of people who have dedicated the last few years of their life creating entertainment for you. I couldn't possibly be prouder of them.
Those moving on to new adventures and battles ahead away from the shores of Hyboria will do so with heads held high. Those making up the new team are also really talented developers, and they are definitely up for the challenge of writing the next chapter in our games histories, and create more great new content for you to enjoy in the future.
I have always said that the beauty of MMOs is that they benefit from on-going development, and really are better games in their later years. It also means that different teams will get to put their mark on things over the years to come. The game is larger than any one person, group, or generation, and it has already seen the work of three distinct teams. I have had the pleasure of having several great teams on the project. The vagaries of time and fate though mean that times change, and chapters draw to a close as others begin.
Hyboria isn't going anywhere, so what does this actually mean in practicality? Of course there is some impact, there is no value in trying to sugar coat a change in the schedule as a result of all this. However the positive news is that development continues and new updates are coming.
All the stuff we have mentioned at the end of the last year, the new Dragonspine content, and the trade-skill revamp is all still in progress. In fact the team has taken pride in finishing up as much as they can to take over to the new team. The new team fully intends to ensure most, if not all, of those content updates are released this year. The schedule however will of course be affected by this change, and the new team will need a little while to set their new schedules, and get things in order. Expect to hear more in next month's development update on that front.
The teams working on the games have been re-born before, and new content has still come. Indeed, we did so when we moved the team here to Montreal.
The new team will undoubtedly write their own chapter in the legacy of the great barbarian. So please take this moment to welcome the new army to the battlefield and pay your respects to those moving on to new battles.
See you on the battlefield!

Whoa, Matthew McConaughey Completely Transforms Himself for 'The Dallas Buyer's Club'
Star Matthew McConaughey has transformed his bulky Magic Mike physique by Christian Bale-izing himself for a challenging, heartbreaking role in The Dallas Buyer's Club, directed by Jean-Marc Vallée. He'll be playing real-life electrician Ron Woodroof, who contracted AIDS in 1986 and smuggled drugs across the border from underground pharmacies in an attempt to save his life.
The actor lost about 30 pounds for the part, and website TMZ snapped this candid photo of McConaughey on set of the upcoming film. The extreme weight loss certainly mirrors what actual AIDS patients suffer through. The Killer Joe star has come a long way from the rom-com darlings he played early in his career to the committed actor he is today, willing to sacrifice his good looks for any role. Hopefully audiences can distract themselves from McConaughey's weight-based headlines and focus on the movie and its powerful message.

To hide the facts about failed trade policies, proponents are changing the data
Fast Track was an extreme and rarely-used procedure initially created by President Richard Nixon to get around public debate and congressional oversight over corporate-rigged trade policy. Fast Track is how we got into the job-killing, wage-flattening North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the World Trade Organization (WTO). Thanks to Fast Track, NAFTA and the WTO included terms that promote the offshoring of U.S. jobs to low-wage countries.
President Obama resorted to asking Congress to give him extreme Fast Track authority to try to railroad into place job-killing trade agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
After dogged, diverse grassroots pressure delivered major blows to Fast Track, proponents used procedural gimmicks to pass Fast Track through Congress by a one-vote margin in June 2015. Anger about Fast Track's underhanded passage helped fuel the unprecedented movement that succeeded in ensuring that there was never a majority in Congress to pass the TPP – thus sealing the deal's demise. However, Fast Track authority remains in place for six years, and therefore we must be vigilant of attempts to railroad other corporate-rigged deals through Congress.
Continue reading...
Fast Track empowers executive branch officials advised by large corporations to skirt Congress and the public and use secretive "trade" agreements to roll back a wide range of non-trade policies on which our families rely for safe food, a clean environment, affordable medicines, financial stability and more. It sets up a system of more than 500 official corporate U.S. trade advisors who have access to secret trade agreement texts and who have set the "U.S." trade agenda whether we have Democratic or Republican presidents.
Under the U.S. Constitution, Congress is supposed to write the laws and set trade policy. For 200 years, these key checks and balances helped ensure that no one branch of government had too much power. But, starting with Nixon, presidents have tried to seize those congressional powers using the Fast Track mechanism.
Fast Track has only been used 16 times in the history of our nation, often to enact the most controversial of "trade" pacts, such as NAFTA and the establishment of the WTO. Meanwhile, hundreds of less controversial U.S. trade agreements have been implemented without resort to Fast Track, showing that the extraordinary procedure is not needed to approve trade agreements.
Fast Track allows the executive branch to unilaterally select partner countries for "trade" pacts, decide the agreements' contents, and then negotiate and sign the agreements – all before Congress had a vote on the matter! Normal congressional committee processes are forbidden, meaning that the executive branch is empowered to write lengthy legislation on its own with no review or amendments. These executive-authored bills have altered wide swaths of U.S. law unrelated to trade – food safety, immigration visas, energy policy, medicine patents and more – to conform our domestic policies to each agreement's requirements. And, remarkably, Fast Track lets the executive branch control Congress' voting schedule. Unlike any other legislation, both the House and Senate are required to vote on a Fast-Tracked trade agreement within 90 days of the White House submitting it. No floor amendments are allowed and debate is limited.
Because Fast Track's dramatic shift in the balance of powers between branches of the U.S. government has occurred via an arcane procedural mechanism, it has obtained little scrutiny – until recently. Its use by Democratic and Republican presidents alike to seize Congress' constitutional prerogatives, "diplomatically legislate" non-trade policy, and preempt state policy, has made it increasingly controversial.

Former Butler Basketball Players Headed Overseas
Aug. 8, 2008
Four Butler players, Mike Green, Pete Campbell, Brandon Crone and Brandon Polk have signed professional contracts to continue playing basketball overseas next year. The quartet, who helped the Bulldogs to 79 victories over the past three seasons, will carry Butler's basketball name to Turkey, Germany, Poland and Finland.
Green, who averaged a team-leading 14.6 points last season, signed a one-year contract to play for Antalya Buyuksehir in Antayla, Turkey. Campbell, one of the top three-point field goal shooters ever to play at Butler, inked a deal to play for the Dusseldorf Giants in the top league in Germany, while Crone, the Most Valuable Player on Butler's 2006-07 squad, signed to play for Kotwica Kolobrzeg S. A. in Kolobrzeg, Poland. Polk, who was Butler's leading scorer in 2005-06, signed with Karhut Kauhajoen in Finland.
Green started every game during his two seasons with the Bulldogs, and he averaged 14.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists for his career. He was named the Horizon League Player of the Year in 2007-08 and was chosen as the Most Outstanding Player at the 2008 Horizon League Championship. He also was named the Most Outstanding Player at the 2007 Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout. A first team Mid-Major All-American, Green was a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers' summer league team in July.
Campbell finished his career as Butler's all-time leader for three-point field goal shooting with a .483 career shooting percentage. He also set a Butler single season record for three-point field goal shooting with a .519 mark in 2006-07, and he finished sixth on Butler's all-time list for three-pointers with 183 in just two seasons. He averaged 11.7 points as a senior and ranked among the "Top 35" players in the NCAA Division I in both three-point field goals and three-point field goal shooting.
Crone was Butler's second-leading rebounder (4.7) and third-leading scorer (11.4) in 2006-07. He was a starting forward in his final 77 games at Butler, and he was a co-captain on Butler's last NCAA "Sweet 16" team (2006-07). He was named to the Horizon League Championship All-Tournament Team as a senior, after scoring a team-high 35 points in Butler's two tournament games. He finished his career with 997 points and 493 rebounds.
Polk, who was named Butler's Most Valuable Player in both his junior and senior seasons, was chosen Horizon League Player of the Year in 2005-06. He averaged 18.0 points and 4.6 rebounds in his final season with the Bulldogs, a campaign that saw him earn first team All-Horizon League and second team NABC All-District 10 recognition. He led Butler in scoring for two straight years and posted Butler's ninth-highest single season scoring total (593 points) as a senior.
Green and Campbell helped Butler to a 30-4 mark in 2007-08, and the two joined Crone on Butler's 29-7 team in 2006-07. Polk and Crone helped lead Butler to a 20-13 mark in 2005-06.

The Recommendation provides guidance for EU Member States on how to tackle child poverty and social exclusion through measures such as
- family support and benefits,
- quality childcare
- early-childhood education.
Member States' integrated strategies should be developed according to three key pillars:
Social investment in individual capacities during the early years is particularly beneficial for children from a disadvantaged background and can provide large social returns. They are also a crucial factor in breaking cycles of intergenerational transmission of poverty.

Yes, the context is very important.alan... wrote:but as i keep saying these practices alone will not develop buddhist wisdom
I think Ledi Sayadaw said it best when he described vipassana meditation as "insight exercises". Meditation, in essence, is just a methodology or skillful means that cultivate the mind for wholesome dhammas to arise.
I would caution you with regards to the above statement. You can be sure that the destination (whether it be nibbana, or jhana) is very different to one's idea of it. In fact, having some idea of the destination can very easily turn into subtle craving for this or that attainment which then becomes an insurmountable barrier to it. One only need see some practitioners of "hardcore dhamma" to see how intense craving and fixation on particular attainments have warped perceptions so that some actually mistakenly believe mundane experiences as artefacts of ariyan attainment.you can't get to somewhere without a destination in mind and a map just because you are riding a horse as you can't get wisdom just by meditating, you have to know the kind of knowledge you're looking for and have an idea about the progression. otherwise you may become very wise from these practices but it would be doubtful that your wisdom would be anything like the very specific dhamma wisdom.
In my experience, the old samurai adage of "expect nothing - but be ready for anything" is a good attitude to have with regards to spiritual practice. Similarly, my teacher often says to his students "All you need do is observe, and leave the rest to Dhamma!"
But by saying the above, I am not advocating an anti-intellectualism. Its great to have theoretical knowledge of the Dhamma and the path. However vaulable it is in illuminating the path, that sort of knowledge is provisional. The Dhamma path is a path that has to be lived, experienced, practiced. Another saying from my teacher: "Pariyatti (study) and Patipatti (practice) should go hand in hand"

Diamondbacks eye 6-1 start in meeting with Pirates
The Arizona Diamondbacks will try and maintain a hold of the National League West Division lead on Monday when they open a three-game set against the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates at Chase Field.
Arizona has won four in a row to claim an early share of the division lead along with the Colorado Rockies, winners of five straight. The Diamondbacks are off to a 5-1 start for only the third time in franchise history.
Taking the hill for the Diamondbacks is right-hander Trevor Cahill, who took the loss against St. Louis this past Tuesday after yielding three runs in 5 2/3 innings. He was sailing along until serving up a home run to Matt Holliday in the sixth on a pitch that was down in the strike zone. Still, Cahill did manage to fan seven batters.
He'll go to work against a Pittsburgh lineup that is last in the NL in hits (21) and team batting average (.119). Losers of four straight, the Pirates are at the bottom of the NL Central standings.
Southpaw Wandy Rodriguez was masterful in his season debut against the Chicago Cubs last Wednesday, as he tossed 6 2/3 shutout innings and allowed only two hits. Rodriguez issued only one walk and struck out six in that outing.
"I started to work earlier this year because of the (World Baseball) Classic, and as a result, I do feel stronger," Rodriguez said.
Arizona notched its fourth straight win with Sunday's 8-7 triumph at Milwaukee in 11 innings. J.J. Putz squandered the D'backs two-run lead in the ninth, but Eric Hinske later came through with a pinch-hit two-run blast in the 11th to complete the series sweep.
"I was just trying to put the ball in play," Hinske said. "It was a hanging breaking ball and it just kept going. That kind of surprised me too, how far I hit it. It felt great, I didn't even feel it hit the bat."
Entering play Sunday, Pittsburgh was the only team in the majors that had not allowed more than three runs in any game this season. But that streak ended following Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Dodgers. The Pirates managed just four hits, and their two runs came on a homer by Andrew McCutchen in the first inning.
The Bucs won four of seven last year against the D'backs.

Last Action Hero (US - BD)
Gabe Powers revisits John McTiernan's misunderstood little blockbuster in HD...
Danny Madigan (Austin O'Brien) is the child of a single mother living in a less than ideal section of New York City. Danny passes most of his time watching free movies at his friend Nick's (Robert Prosky) cinema, and has a special affinity for Arnold Schwarzenegger's popular Jack Slater series. Nick invites Danny to a free midnight showing of the latest film in the series, and gives him a 'golden ticket', which was given to Nick when he was a child by real life magician Harry Houdini. It turns out the ticket is in fact magical, and Danny is transported into the film, directly into the back seat of Jack Slater's (Schwarzenegger) car, and directly into a shootout. Slater disbelieves Danny's insistence that he's living in a movie world, but it's soon clear that the kid knows more than he should about the plot, and Slater's latest enemy, Mr. Benedict (Charles Dance).
Ah, Last Action Hero, the notorious flop (that actually made money) that was sold on false promises. Sold as a relatively straight Arnold Schwarzenegger action picture, from the director of Die Hard, John McTiernan, Last Action Hero was actually a comedy in disguise. There are many reasons the film didn't do gangbusters with audiences and critics, and chief among them was Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park, which was the film event of the year. Spielberg's film broke all the records (it's still pretty far beyond both The Dark Knight and Avatar in the US when inflation is taken into account), and Sony released McTiernan's film within a week of the juggernaut. But I think the mix of genres and styles is what endured as a disappointment for audiences, who were likely done with Jurassic Park after that first month. Last Action Hero is certainly an original mash-up, blending late '80s and early '90s action into a kids' adventure flick, and then spoofing the whole thing. The script clearly passed through a few too many hands, and the final effect is a little overwhelming (it kind of feels like watching three movies at once), but on the whole these duelling elements work well with each other and on their own.
I adore the mega-meta moment where Danny uses the real world key to unlock the movie world handcuffs, and wish that the two worlds interacted a bit more in similarly clever ways. If the script had embraced its own weirdness just a little more it could've been some kind of Charlie Kaufman masterpiece of post modernism. It would've still been a financial disappointment in 1993, but it would be a better movie for it. Still, the seriousness of the real world is a pretty extreme change-up, and the impact of that first car crash is almost genuinely frightening. It's actually probably the closest Arnold has gotten to real pathos. I'm not a fan of spoof, so I don't think I'm out of line when I say that Last Action Hero may be my favourite major Hollywood spoof. It works for me because it doesn't only depend on referencing other movies for laughs. McTiernan, who was chased back to familiar ground with Die Hard with a Vengeance following the one two box-office disappointment of Last Action Hero and Medicine Man, proves adept with the meta balance, creating a genuinely exciting atmosphere, while tweaking his visuals just enough to look a little cartoony. The cast is the key ingredient, however, as the script isn't quite clever enough to be read by just anyone. Charles Dance as Benedict is the real star, and the one element I'm guessing even anti-fans can agree works in the film's favour.
Good throwaway jokes include: Slater having run out of relatives to kill at this point in his film series (they have to off his second cousin to make it personal), Danny warning Jack that F Murray Abraham 'killed Mozart', Odd Job being the evil butler, Benedict harming a hair on Jack's daughter's head, all the car crashes behind Jack as he nonchalantly drives, and the deep darkness of Benedict shooting and man in the real world and trying to confess. But the best joke in the whole thing? Jack turning to the real Arnold Schwarzenegger and saying 'Look, I don't really like you. You've brought me nothing but pain.'
Apparently Sony did release a widescreen DVD version of Last Action Hero, but I've never seen a copy myself. Not that pan-and-scan is ever a good thing, but the Last Action Hero pan-and-scan was dizzying in its sheer quantity of artificial whip pans. Fans unwilling to drop $15 or $20 on a used copy of the OOP widescreen DVD now have another option. Overall this is a basically acceptable transfer, but definitely an upgrade over the standard definition release (which is where these caps were taken from). The problem is consistency, which is lacking from scene to scene. Sometimes the quality difference is clearly meant to make the real world look drabber than the hyper-stylized movie world, but there are plenty of moments of average quality peppered into the movie world as well. When the transfer's good, it's very good, including incredibly sharp close-up facial and hair details, even wide angle details, and some very bright colours. The movie world details and colours mostly impress during daylight scenes, but falter a bit during night-time scenes, and the bulk of the real world scenes take place in desolate darkness. The black levels are occasionally a bit muddied during these scenes, and colours are a bit over-warmed, and awkwardly blended. Sometimes the colour quality of the daylight scenes is a little off too (skin tones can be especially flat), but the range of colours can also be especially effective. The whole transfer is relatively grainy, and the grain definitely increases with the darkness. The climactic scene where Jack and Danny face the ripper in the real world (which looks more like Ridley Scott's world at this point) looks pretty great though, including sharp, pin-point low-light details, rich blacks, and solid neon highlights.
Last Action Hero isn't quite the surprise Sony's same day release of Cliffhanger, but this DTS-HD Master Audio track works well enough. The film was the first SDDS release, and was produced the same year as DTS's first release— Jurassic Park. Sony had something to prove, and in the early years of the 5.1 format (I believe Batman Returns, from 1992, was the first movie shown in Dolby Digital), directional effects were all the rage. For your surround sound dollar check out the first car chase scene where Danny finds himself in the movie world. The chase itself works itself out directionally, while the scenes of Danny watching the scene realistically place the sound of the film behind the viewer. When Danny appears in the car the sound is briefly sucked out of the film before being rocketed back into the mix with a shot of Jack's gun. The rest of the scene is filled with cartoonish dynamite explosions that rock the LFE. The music is delegated mostly to the front stereo speakers, with rear channel echo support. The music runs a pretty wide array of styles, from Mozart and John Williams, to AC/DC and Megadeth. Composer Michael Kamen does a pretty good job of spoofing himself too, specifically his Lethal Weapon and Die Hard work. The pop and rock music that plays over the credits actually sounds pretty awful, and is over-produced with annoying echo effects.
How's about nothing? Zero? Zilch? A personal check for bupkis made out to the first nation bank of skidoo. Well, there's a MovieIQ mode, and a few trailers for other movies, but otherwise Sony's got nothing for you. Would it kill them to include the AC/DC 'Big Gun' video?
I never noticed that Ingmar Bergman's death was played by Sir Ian McKellen in Last Action Hero. I suppose I could've just looked at the credits, but I never thought to. It was a nice surprise. Coming back to the film after so many years away I'm happy to report things are just as fun as they were when I left them as a teenager. If it wasn't for True Lies, Last Action Hero might've ironically been Arnold's last good movie. The film is begging for a real retrospective look, complete with documentary and commentary, so this Blu-ray release is hopefully far from the last word on the subject (there are really no extras), but the disc is widescreen, clean, and the sound is an improvement over the DVD release.
*Note: The images on this page are not representative of the Blu-ray release.
Review by Gabriel Powers
I'm sort of hoping Sony sends this one over because I've always thought it was okay. It's certainly not the disaster that it was painted to be.

i guess i'm one of those few who liked this even when i saw it in theaters. i never got why it did so poorly and has grown to have such a poor reputation but i was glad to grab the blu-ray. i never bought the dvd because it was only the pan and scan version available here as well.
so when i watched this last week it was my first time seeing this beginning to end in like 10yrs and i still loved it. and to have it be the proper ratio was nice as well.

We had Meringue bones (as tricks),Mini Doughnuts (as treats), Gummy Worm Shooters, Dirt Trifels, and Candied Caramel Pears infused with Peach honey sticks! Everything was delicious! The pears were a huge hit!
Thanks Tanya! If you can't tell, Tanya is ga-ga for parties and sweets which is why she blogs all about them on Save the Date for Cupcakes.

MKV to MP4 Help (Soft Subs)
Watching anime in mkv is fine on my computer, but once I want to watch stuff on anything else like my PS3 or any of my portable devices conversion get's complicated.
Right now If I want to convert something I just throw it into either one of Red Kawa's many converters, Format Factory, or mk2vob.
My main problem with all of these though is when dealing with soft subs. I know nearly nothing about the actual process by which subtitles are added to videos, only that hard subs tend to survive conversions better.
When I try a total convert to mp4 through Videora or Format Factory soft subs will disappear entirely. If I use mk2vob to take a video out of its mkv container and spit it into an mp4 one I'll get a "completed (with warnings)" message and find out that the subs have changed to some kind of default font which is often hard to read.
What's the best way to make soft subs into hard subs or make sure soft subs survive a video conversion?

Hi there
I recently discovered a small FREE program that resolved that problem for me!
I didn't like the idea and neither i have a good desktop to make conversions (old P4 3.2 socket 478 :lol: ) to watch them on my ps3
the program is called PS3 Media Server, it's multiplatform (which is really nice!) and you only need Java runtime to run it!
check it out on http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/.
With this program, you only need to have it running and go to your PS3 and select the media server, then you can watch every type (or almost) on your PS3 via streaming without much quality loss.
Keep in mind that 720p and upper resolution videos can't be streamed well via wireless, so you better have a network cable right beside your PS3 :P
The only downside i got is that, at least for me, i can use custom softsubs like i have with every other player. It seems like that, for now, subtitles are stuck in one font type, but i don't think it matters much
NOTE: I could stream a few 720p MKVs via wireless flawlessly (could be 'cause of bitrate) but most of the times it lags a bit or even breaks the video. nothing that a pause and play doesn't solve but still...
NOTE2: I just reminded that a friend of mine said that he could watch files on his PSP via Remote PS3 flawlessly.

The CCCP (codec pack), with vsfilter enabled.
I then either use meGUI (if you care about size and know how to encode)
Videora PS3/Xbox/ipod/whatever(you can pick) converter.
Videora is the easiest to use. You just open the video in videora and select the highest (h.264) profile WITH avisynth. Then you go to settings, select your profile and edit it. You will have to go to advanced 1 and make sure subtitle is enabled. If your A/V goes out of sync make sure to enable convertfps. You can also set minimum and maximum bitrate. (advanced 2).
Videora is the only one (after megui, but that is for pro encoders) which supports embedded subs that i know of.
Google some stuff

1. Don't use Videora
2. Make sure you have CCCP
3. Make sure that "Autoload VSFilter" is checked in CCCP settings page 2
4. Get XviD4PSP
5. Use iPhone / iPod Touch profile
6. Convert anything, including softsubbed MKVs, to hardsubbed MP4s for your iPhone.

Okay I seem to have hit some kind of upper limit here.
I was able to convert some 1080p Blu-Ray rip episodes of Michiko to Hatchin and they show up perfectly on the PS3. Things don't seem to go so well though once I move on to full-length movies.
I tried to convert The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (in 720p) and it came out as "unsupported data" on the PS3. Things got worse once I attempted Afro Samurai Resurrection and Sword of the Stranger.
Sword of the Stranger I have in 1080p with the sound in DTS. The file 6GB. After eight hours of transcoding a bad file one sixth the size came out.
I'm trying to get the movie on my PS3 because I'd rather watch it on my HDTV and hear the DTS through my surround sound system.
What I need is a way to ensure that when I convert something like this to MP4, that there won't be any bad quality loss, I'll still have the subtitles, and the sound channels will be retained.

The new mkv2vob ( Feb. 5th 09) is supposed to support SSA subtitles. You may want to check it out:
I haven't tested it myself though. (no PS3)

A quick search at avsforum.com for "ps3 maximum file size" suggests that files larger than 4 GB may be problematic. (This limit is not the one imposed by using FAT32 file systems on external devices.)
One solution you might try is to stream the files from the computer to the PS3 using one of the DLNA media servers. This one has been getting very positive reviews. I tried streaming from my Linux box to the PS3 with this server, and it worked fine except for the various limitation on what codecs the PS3 chooses to play. I was just experimenting though; normally I just play the files from the PC directly to my HDTV set.
I recommend a little browsing at avsforum.com and doom9.org, two excellent resources for learning about video conversion and consumer electronic devices.

/edit: Just tested it, and it does work indeed. But the styling still seems to get lost and you stated that you didn't want that. I'll post a way to do it later.

Also, I'm trying another program called "Format Factory." In the past its worked really well for conversions but the main problem was that it never retained subtitles.
Now I've found out that in order to do that with Format Factory you have to tell it which specific SSA file to use. How do I get the SSA file out of the container so I can pinpoint it?

I've overhauled this tutorial, go to page 2 to see it
As promised:
You'll need:
Haali's Media Splitter
First install everything and observe the following:
1. VSFilter: create a .bat file or use the windows command line: "regsvr32 VSFilter.dll"
2. Open Haali's properties and make sure that "Autoload VSFilter" is checked (As "AnimeFan188" already stated above)
3. Make sure you have all DirectShow codecs installed that are needed for the video. (Like CoreAVC or ffdshow for H264 video)
To convert a file:
1. Open the file in your favorite Media Player and note its framerate (This is important for VFR files). Don't forget that some players round 23.976 to 23.98...
2. Open windows notepad and enter the following:
DirectShowSource("YourAnimeFileWithSubs.mkv", fps=23.976, convertfps=true, audio=false)
convertfps=true converts VFR to CFR (You can omit the "fps" and the "convertfps" parameters if you know your file is CFR. Most files are.)
3. Save the file as "YourFile.avs" and in the same folder as your mkv file.
4. Open MeGUI and load your script where it says "Avisynth Script" and close the opening preview window. (You can check if VSFilter was loaded here.)
5. Choose the profile you want to use under "Encoder settings". I'll guess "x264: Standalone-PS3-Xbox360_Fast" is probably the way to go. ( Click "Config" on the right to further tune the settings if you want. You could raise the bitrate (1000 may be a bit low for HD) and choosing "Const. Quality" instead of "Automated 2pass" may be a good way to save time)
6. Choose "RAWAVC" under file format
7. Click "Enqueue", go to "Queue" and click start. Once the job is done you may clear the list and close MeGUI.
8. Open mkvmerge GUI (From the MKVToolnix package), open your original file and uncheck the video. Then add the RAWAVC file you created in step 7 and move it to the position of the original video.
9. Mark the new video track, go to "Format Specifications" and set the FPS according to step 1 ( 24000/1001 =~ 23.976 )
10. Uncheck every subtitle track and all audio tracks except the one you want to keep. (So only the new video track and a single audio track should be checked)
11. Click on "Start Muxing"
12. Open and convert the file created in Step 11 with mkv2vob. If everything went right mkv2vob should only convert the audio (if necessary) and shouldn't touch the video.
OK, this wasn't very easy but it should provide a high quality and after you've done it once you should be able to do it quickly.
Hope it works for you!

2.) Download MKVExtractGUI and unpack it into the mkvtoolnix folder
3.) Open the file with MKVExtract GUI, check the Subtitle track (and all attachments, because they usually hold the fonts used) and extract

Is it permissible for a woman to work selling products over the phone?Question :
There are foreign companies in Morocco which also own companies in the west. These companies that are in Morocco offer customer service for the companies that are in the west over the phone, whereby western customers contact the companies in Morocco to ask questions or the company contacts customers who are obviously in the west – Europe – to sell their products over the phone, and the employee attempts to convince the person to buy. The companies market various products and services such as mobile phones, internet, insurance, computers and so on.
These companies have started to increase rapidly, and young men – and even young women – are clamouring to join them as they pay a good salary. The government is also helping with that. Please note that fitnah is widespread in these companies, such as uncovering of women.
What is the ruling on working for them? Is it halaal or haraam?.
Answer :
Praise be to Allaah.
It is not permissible for a man or a woman to work in places where women mix with men. The evils of mixing are many. It is one of the most effective ways used by the shaytaan to make the Muslim fall into sin and immorality. Hence Islam blocks the ways that may cause a Muslim to fall into anything haraam.
We have discussed the prohibition on mixing in the answer to question no. 1200, where we mention incidents of female workers who have been exposed to annoyance and harassment. This confirms that the Islamic prohibition on mixing is what will protect a woman's modesty and chastity, and it is what protects a man from allowing his gaze to wander, and protects him from bad consequences.
There is no reason why a woman should not work if she is with other women like her, or she is alone and answers calls from customers or calls them to offer the company's products, so long as she observes proper etiquette when speaking and does not speak in an alluring tone to men, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"O wives of the Prophet! You are not like any other women. If you keep your duty (to Allaah), then be not soft in speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease (of hypocrisy, or evil desire for adultery) should be moved with desire, but speak in an honourable manner"
[al-Ahzaab 33:32]
And Allaah knows best.

EDMONTON, Alberta – Cam Fowler, Kyle Palmieri and Corey Perry scored to help put the Ducks on the brink of clinching the Pacific Division with a 3-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers in Sunday night.
The Ducks could have clinched the division title if the Kings lost to Dallas in regulation, but the Kings ended up winning in overtime. Anaheim can also seal it with another win over the Oilers in the rematch in Edmonton on Monday.
Taylor Hall scored for the Oilers, who lost for the seventh time in eight games to extend their playoff drought to seven years.
Edmonton had a quick start, scoring exactly one minute in when Hall notched his 15 th of the season as he came in off the boards to beat Ducks starter Jonas Hiller between the legs with a wrist shot from the right face-off dot.
The Ducks evened it up with just 1.1 seconds remaining in the period as Oilers center Jerred Smithson broke his stick on the faceoff and Fowler was able to pick up a rebound and bank in his first of the year off goalie Devan Dubnyk's pads.
Anaheim took a 2-1 lead with just under a minute to play in the second period when Palmieri tried to get a pass through to Teemu Selanne on a 2-on-1, but the pass was blocked by a diving Ladislav Smid. However, Palmieri was able to dig the puck out from under Smid and deposit his 10 th of the year behind Dubnyk.
The Ducks went up 3-1 midway through the third when Ryan Getzlaf made a great move to walk around Smid and then sent a backhand pass in front for Perry, who had an easy tap-in for the goal.
The Ducks hit the post twice with Dubnyk pulled for the final two minutes.
Notes: It was the second of three meetings between the two teams this season. Anaheim came in as the winners of their last nine in Edmonton and 12 of the last 14 meetings overall. … The Oilers announced Sunday that 2011 first overall draft pick Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is out for the remainder of the season as he likely requires shoulder surgery. … Edmonton Fs Ales Hemsky (foot), Eric Belanger (groin) and Lennart Petrell (leg) are also probably done for the year. … Anaheim was missing Luca Sbisa (upper body) and D Sheldon Souray (lower body). … Edmonton's last playoff appearance was its Game 7 loss in the 2006 Stanley Cup final to Carolina.
