Nikon S4 Rangefinder
Inspired by DDD for Photojournalists?
Many long time Nikon collectors have never seen an S4, much less owned it. The S4 is one of the hardest to find Nikon Rangefinders in the US -- it was never officially exported out of Japan. Being so hard to find, it is one of the "key" Nikon RF in terms of collectability. It was introduced in March of 1959, just a few months before the incredibly successful Nikon F which would doom the Nikon Rangefinder system. The S4 was never officially exported to Nikon's biggest marketplace - the USA.
The S4 amounts to the S3 with a few features removed. Interesting, the S4 body casting and shutter mechanism are identical to the SP and S3. If you had the know how and the right parts, you could actually sit down with an SP, a S3, and an S4, and turn all of them into a different model! The fastest way to tell a S4 from an S3 is the lack of a self timer. Why introduce a stripped down S3 at the end of the rangefinder era? Its long been thought that the S4 was simply an attempt to produce a more basic camera for the budget conscious. Perhaps, but they may be more to the story. I recently received an email from an ex US serviceman in Japan who says the S4 was inspired by no less than DDD - David Douglas Duncan himself, essentially the "discoverer" of Nikon lenses himself! Click HERE for the DDD Nikon S4 story.
This very late S4 is # 6505922. The last known number reported to the Nikon Historical Society is 6505928. Note the 65xxxxx serial block. About 5900 cameras were produced, apparently all in chrome.
Specifically, the S4 has the same body casting and as the SP and S3, but without the S3's self timer, 35 mm frameline, without the motor lug for the motor drive (although the lug could be added), and with a manually set film counter instead of an automatic film exposure counter. The S4 finder itself is the same as the S3, with the 50 and 105 framelines, but without the 35 frame on the outer edges. Neither cameras had parallax correction for the framelines. The S4 was produced only with cloth shutter curtains. I have never seen titanium curtains in an S4, though SP Titanium curtains could be installed by a repairman. The SP/S3 exposure meter will also fit the S4.
The film counter looks much like the one on the earlier S2 Black Dial. The S4 is often considered a "stripped down" S3 or SP. Yet with its manually reset frame counter, absence of self timer, and 50 / 105 brightlines without parallax corrected framelines, and improved shutter, it's just as logical to think of the S4 as a improved S2!
Like all Nikon Rangefinders, the back removes for easy film loading.
The RAREST S4 variation is probably this EP marked version. The EP means it was made for sale in American Military base PX stores. Unlike the great majority of S4's (90%?), the focusing scale in marked in FEET instead of METERS. Since the S4 was made for the Japanese home market and not officially exported to the US or the UK, examples with EP engraving and FEET focusing scale are rare indeed.
Here are the S2 Black Dial, S4, and SP shown side by side: the S4 shares much with both cameras.
The S4 has a manually set frame counter and cloth shutter curtains like the S2, and a finder which amounts to a modification of the S2 with a wider field of view and 105 frameline added (but without the parallax correction of the SP). The S4 also shares the SP's body casting, shutter mechanism and automatic flash sync, but without the SP's self timer, motor drive lug, or the SP's much more elaborate finder.

Claudine Georgette Longet (born 29 January 1942) was a popular singer and recording artist during the 1960s and 1970s. She was also an actress and a dancer.
Born in Paris, France, Longet was married to pop singer Andy Williams from 1961 until 1975. She has maintained a private profile since 1977, following her conviction for misdemeanor negligent homicide in connection with the death of former Olympic skier "Spider" Sabich.
The author of that comment claimed that this weeks MMB wasn't Claudine Longet and I'm inclined to agree. THIS is Claudine:
The Arrest and trial of Claudine Longet
Claudine Longet was arrested and charged with fatally shooting her boyfriend, Olympic skier Vladimir "Spider" Sabich, at his Aspen, Colorado, home on 21 March 1976. At trial, Longet said the gun discharged accidentally as Sabich was showing her how it worked. Williams publicly supported Longet throughout the trial, even escorting her to and from the courthouse.
The Aspen police made two procedural errors that aided Longet's defense: without warrants, they took a blood sample from her and confiscated her diary. According to prosecutors, the sample showed the presence of cocaine in her blood, and her diary reportedly contradicted her claim that her relationship with Sabich had not soured. In addition, the gun was mishandled by non-weapons experts. As they were unable to cite any of the disallowed material, prosecutors did use the autopsy report to suggest that when Sabich was struck he was bent over, facing away, and at least 6 feet from Longet, which would be inconsistent with the position and relative distance of someone demonstrating the operation of a firearm.
The jury convicted her of a lesser charge—misdemeanor criminal negligence—and sentenced her to pay a small fine and spend 30 days in jail. The judge allowed Longet to choose the days she served, believing that this arrangement would allow her to spend the most time with her children, and she chose to work off most of her sentence on weekends. (Critical reaction to the verdict and sentencing was exacerbated when she subsequently vacationed with her defense attorney, Ron Austin, who was married at the time; Longet and Austin later married and still live in Aspen.) After the criminal trial, the Sabich family initiated civil proceedings to sue Longet. The case was eventually resolved out of court, with the proviso that Longet never tell or write about her story.
Based on my experience I would advise that whatever you do - do NOT piss off a French chick.
For what it's worth THIS isn't Claudine Longet either . . .
Cheers . . . S.L.

This is it - the end of January, the dark days of mid-winter. The holidays are but a distant and sparkling memory, and spring feels like a long, long way off indeed. These can be long, lonely days, complete with shoulder-hunched trudges to and from work, school, etc. The urge to hunker down under a blanket at sunset and not emerge until morning is very real. We understand! Some nights you've gotta stay in and indulge in whatever your ideal cozy scenario is.
But! Every night? Leaving the house now and then is good for the soul - and no, trips to the corner store to re-up on beer and those amazing salt & pepper potato chips don't count! Here are a few friendly suggestions from us (with "lazy version" options of course, for when venturing out is just not gonna happen), to help keep winter sanity in check, .
Get rocking: There's something about being in a room with a bunch of strangers all bopping to the same song that just helps you feel human. The venue can be big or small, posh or dingy, professional or thoroughly DIY. Whatever your scene, whatever the setting, it's rare to regret the schlep to see a great live band. Plus, while we don't have scientific evidence to back this up, the vibrations from loud music must do good things for your body, right? Some places you may find rad shows: Union Transfer, Johnny Brenda's, DIY PHL, Ortlieb's, Chris' Jazz Cafe. Lazy version: invite a friend over for a no holds barred two person dance party.
Get deep: Philadelphia is home to many museums, but one of the coolest is The Franklin Institute. While their regular exhibits are fascinating, getting comfy and watching pretend night skies in the Fels Planetarium seems extra winter-appropriate. The Dark Universe show sounds really intriguing: according to the website, it features "exquisite renderings of enigmatic cosmic phenomena, seminal scientific instruments, and spectacular scenes in deep space." What better to help put winter woes into perspective than remembering that our planet is but a speck on a speck in the infinite universe? Lazy version: re-watch The Cosmos with all the lights turned off.
Get cinematic: The Academy Awards are right around the corner, and while you've probably checked some of the Best Picture nominations off your "must-see" list, what about the little guys? Every year, both live action and animated Oscar nominated short films are screened at The Ritz - while it's easy to find most of the big-budget feature films at local theaters, these screenings may be the only opportunity you'll get to see these films on the big screen. Lazy version: rent last year's shorts nominees for a few bucks from Vimeo On Demand.
Get nerdy (in a cool way!): Find a new board game to while away the hours at Redcap's Corner (locations in West Philly and Powellton Village), or connect with other gamers at one of their many events, like Wednesday evening Dungeons & Dragons Encounters, Friday evening Magic the Gathering, or Sunday board game open play. Across town in Kensington, new-ish comic book shop Amalgam sells a wide variety of comics and graphic novels and, bonus, they have coffee, too! Check out a great article about Amalgam's owner Ariell Johnson over at Amy Poehler's Smart Girls. Lazy version: Delve into the new online Catan Universe, enjoy the largest online database of free Marvel and DC comics at HelloComic.com, or explore the free and paid digital comics at Dark Horse Comics.
We hope you've found this guide to winter sanity helpful. If all else fails, you can always meet up with friends for coffee and conversation or semi-social study or work sessions. And we don't need to tell you where the best place to do that is (wink wink!). No matter what, chin up - the thaw will come one day!

text: Washington (ANI): Harry Potter star Rupert Grint has replaced Steve Coogan for the role of British ski-jump legend Eddie The Eagle Edwards (real name Michael Edwards) in a new film, it has emerged. Coogan was first offered the film about the comical athletes Olympic journey in 2007, reports Contactmusic.Now, British newspaper the Sunday Mirror has reported that Grint will substitute the Night At the Museum star in the movie directed by Declan Lowney. Eddie The Eagle Edwards was the first to represent Great Britain in 1988 Winter Olympics ski-jumping competition.Even though he had finished last in the event, he had become extremely popular. The film is set to start production later this year.

Let $R$ be a binary relation over a set $S$. The binary relation $R$ is called an equivalence relation if it is reflexive transitive and symmetric. The relation is called partial order if it is reflexive, transitive and anti symmetric. (Notation: Let $aRb$ denote that order pair $(a, b) ∈ R.$) The relation $R$ is called a well-order if $R$ is a partial order and there does not exist an infinite descending chain (with respect to $R$) within $S$. An infinite sequence $x_{1}, x_{2}...$ of elements of $S$ is called an infinite descending chain if for all $i$ we have $x_{i+1}Rx_{i}$ and $x_{i}\neq x_{i+1}$.
Take $S=\aleph \times \aleph$ and let the binary relation $\sqsubseteq$ over $S$ be such that $\left ( i_{1}, j_{1}\right )\sqsubseteq \left ( i_{2}, j_{2} \right )$ if and only if either $\left ( i_{1}< i_{2} \right )$ or $\left ( \left ( i_{1}= i_{2}\right )\wedge \left ( j_{1}\leq j_{2} \right ) \right )$. Which statement is true of $\sqsubseteq $?
Answer -> C
S = (i1j1) ⊑ (i2j2) iff (i1<i2) or ((i1=i2)∧(j1≤j2))
1. (m,n) R (m,n) ?
yes, here m !< n , so we go at second criteria.
Now m=n & n =n. So This is reflexive.
2. Antisymmetric
Is (2,3) R (1,2) ? No as 2 < 1.
If you see the defination, it is clear that other than diagonal element no other element is related to itself. So antisymmetric.
3. Transitive ->
(1,2) R (2,3) & (2,3) R (2,4) (It is easy to prove)
(1,2) R (2,4) ? Yes. It can be seen easily from following property
S = (i1j1) ⊑ (i2j2) iff (i1<i2) or ((i1=i2)∧(j1≤j2)).
Not going to prove this formally.
4. It is Not reflexive (1,2) R (2,3) but (2,3 ) ~R ( 3,2)
5. This is well ordered. We do not had infinite descending chain. As we have least element (0,0) we our chain stops there.
Ref :-
@Akash how can you say (0,0) is the least element . (-1,-2)R(-1,-1) is also satisfying the relation . so a/c to me its not well ordered . so option b should be the answer a/c to me.
S = (i1j1) ⊑ (i2j2) iff (i1<i2) or ((i1=i2)∧(j1≤j2))
for reflexive
aRb where a=b here (i1j1) ⊑ (i2j2)
if we take any value which satisfy the reflexive property and exist in set it will also satisfy the given condition
e.g (12) ⊑ (12) here ((i1=i2)∧(j1≤j2)) so its a Reflexive
for anti-symetric
aRb -> bNRa unless a=b
here if we take any set like i1<i2 surely it i2≨i1
if i1=i2 and j1≤j2 then surely j2≨j1
e.g. (12) ⊑ (23) exist in S but (23) ⊑ (12) doesn't exist since i1 ≨i2 and j1≨j2
(32) ⊑ (36) exist in S but (36) ⊑ (32) doesn't exist i1=i2 but j1≨j2
so it is Anti-symmetric
for Transitive
aRb & bRc then aRc
here (i1j1) ⊑ (i2j2) & (i2j2) ⊑ (i3j3) then (i1j1) ⊑ (i3j3)
if i1<i2 & i2<i3 then surely i1<i3
if i1=i2 & j1≤j2 && i2=i3 & j2≤j3 then surely i1=i3 & j1≤j3
so it is Transitive
Hence it is Poset
For well ordered for all xi+1Rxi and xi≠xi+1
(i1j1) ⊑ (i2j2) given i1<i2
(21) ⊑ (14) is well ordered pair but it doesnt exist in set S. i1≨i2 && i1 ≠ i2
so i think option B
it is well order also , as there is least element (0,0) [ if N = 0,1,2,... ]
the given sequence is infinite ascending chain. not descending chain.
a well-order if R is a partial order and there does not exist an infinite descending chain (with respect to R) within S
by default well order is partial order , which is reflexive.

Instruction Jax Jones Feat. Demi Lovato & Stefflon D Download 'Instruction' on iTunes
19 June 2015, 12:09
Check out some of your favourite artists intimately performing their biggest hits without the need of a huge studio.
There's something about acoustic song covers that sends shivers down our spines.
Whether it's that raw vocal, the simplicity of minimal instrumental accompaniment, or the intimacy of the whole performance - these covers are simply PERFECT!
Ed may have joined forces with drum & bass masters Rudimental to release an epic remix of his 'X' hit - but he stripped back 'Photograph' for us in a very special live session. Check out the official music video for even more tingles (and tears).
Ed Sheeran - 'Photograph'
Capital Live Session
Demi's voice makes our hair stand on end and covers our entire body with goosebumps, so when we invited the former Disney star to our studios, we couldn't resist getting her to perform an exclusive live set for us.
Demi Lovato 'Neon Lights' (Live In Session For Capital FM)
Demi Lovato performs Neon Lights live in the Capital FM studios!
Voices don't come much bigger than Jessie J's, and her acoustic rendition of her Big Top 40 chart-topping hit is one you can't miss! Not only does she nail her own vocal, she somehow made us forget that Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj even appeared on the track!
Jessie J - Bang Bang (Live In Session For Capital FM)

Just a minute, we need a moment to compose ourselves...
Okay, now that we've stopped crying we can carry on. Sam's debut album, 'In The Lonely Hour' has provided three chart-topping hits, but the entire record is an emotional roller coaster. If you haven't had the pleasure of giving it a listen in full, then 'Leave Your Lover' is a GEM that gives you a taster of how raw Sam's tracks are.
Sam Smith 'Leave Your Lover'
Capital Live Session
There's a lot to be jealous of when it comes to Nick Jonas: his beautiful ex-girlfriends, his smoking hot looks and his incredible voice. We couldn't resist getting him to perform a stripped back version of his debut single when he dropped by our HQ earlier this year.
Nick Jonas - Jealous (Capital Live Session)
When it comes to British female vocalists, voices don't come much more unique and distinctive than Els. Ms Goulding has had a slew of number 1 hits on the Big Top 40, including this absolute classic from 2012.
Ellie Goulding - Anything Could Happen (Capital Live session)
Ellie Goulding performs live for Capital.
Not only is Ryan Tedder one killer vocalist, he's also written some of the biggest smash hits of the past decade. Fortunately for his bandmates, he's kept some classics back for OneRepublic.
OneRepublic - 'I Lived' (Capital Live Session)
OneRepublic perform live for Capital
Curveball! Proof that acoustic performances don't just have to be a singer and a guitar, Jason Derulo throws in a bit of sax-appeal to his live performance of his Big Top 40 chart-topper.

walk think
I love how science keeps kicking out proof of what we suspect about the benefits of walking. This latest study found the seniors who walk about "10 kilometres per week suffer less brain shrinkage, which may help stave off dementia."
So, walking can stave off the aging of the brain that can cause memory difficulty in older adults.
The CBC reports that,
So, walking can stave off the aging of the brain that can cause memory difficulty in older adults.
The CBC reports that,
"In the study, 299 volunteers in Pittsburgh with an average age of 78 who were free of dementia recorded the number of blocks they walked in one week. Then nine weeks later, scientists took brain scans of the participants to measure their brain size.So, what are we to do? Well, continue to create walkable communities, which means rejecting road widening schemes, like those proposed in the Downtown Dundas Transportation Master Plan. Wide, fast roads discourage walking and cycling, and make conditions more dangerous for those who dare try it.
After four more years, researchers tested the subjects to see if they had developed dementia or other memory problems.
Study author Kirk Erickson of the University of Pittsburgh and his co-authors found that people who walked at least 72 blocks per week — 10-14 kilometres — showed greater grey matter volume in their brain compared with people who didn't walk as much.
"Our results are in line with data that aerobic activity induces a host of cellular cascades that could conceivably increase grey matter volume," the study's authors wrote.
Trekking more than 72 blocks did not seem to offer any further increases in grey matter volume, the researchers found.
The findings held true regardless of other risk factors such as family history.
Erickson's team called for more studies on the effects of exercise on dementia, but noted that in the absence of effective treatments for Alzheimer's that walking could help.
"If regular exercise in midlife could improve brain health and improve thinking and memory in later life, it would be one more reason to make regular exercise in people of all ages a public health imperative," Erickson said.
The study appears in this week's online issue of the journal Neurology.
The study was funded by the U.S. National Institute on Aging.
Let's get more traffic calming, more cycling lanes, wider sidewalks, and we will have a healthier population of all ages.

Dundas In Eco-Motion!
Alessandra Gage coordinated this summer's Dundas Eco-Motion Project for Environment Hamilton; she took some time from her busy school schedule at McMaster to debrief on her experience for Dundas Walks.
Q1) Briefly describe the idea of the project: what are you hoping to accomplish?
The purpose of the Dundas Eco-Motion Project is two-fold. First and foremost, it is meant to cultivate an appreciation for sustainable methods of transportation and a healthy lifestyle. By engaging community members through special events (bike rides, walkabouts, waterfall hikes, and historical tours), we are attempting to reduce our dependency on car-culture. The second goal of the project is to voice community concerns to public officials and address issues of transportation.
Q2) Why Dundas?
Dundas was chosen for a few reasons. The town has been host to a number of Environment Hamilton projects over the years, and funding was offered to run another project in the area. Similar, successful projects pertaining to sustainability were run in the Kirkendall Neighbourhood and near Concession Street, and Dundas seemed like an appropriate candidate for the Eco-Motion Project in light of the heightened community concern regarding transportation issues following a number of traffic-related incidents earlier this year.
Q3) What needs are not being met for people interested in getting around without a car?
Most of the identified needs that are not presently being met fall into one or more of the following categories: connections, safety, and speed. Although Dundas has been improving over the years, residents are still looking for better connections between living areas and different modes of transportation. For instance, many citizens have requested that the sidewalk along Ogilvie be extended from Creekside Dr. to Governer's Road. This connection is particularly important for individuals with mobility issues, because it can be both tedious and dangerous for a resident to walk the longer distance (walking back up to Hatt, crossing to the Metro-side of Ogilvie, and crossing back over at Governer's) to reach the bus stop on Ogilvie at Governer's. Another pressing need was for wider sidewalks, and a more pedestrian-friendly intersection at Governers & Ogilvie. The sidewalks are currently being worked on, but it's important for people to keep discussion about improvements ongoing and active so that positive changes can continue. One of the safety/speed concerns that has frequently been mentioned, is the hazardous stretch of Hatt Street, and Creekside Drive (connecting both Ogilvie and Hatt). Residents have asked for wider sidewalks, smaller lanes, and more stop-signs. Some have requested speed-bumps along Creekside to help deter drivers from using the road to avoid the lights at Hatt & Ogilvie. While there are plenty more requests made to address needs of individuals travelling without a car, one of the last ones that I will mention is that of connecting modes of transportation. In order to have a comprehensive system of transportation, it's important to have good links as modes of transportation change. For instance, providing bike racks alongside bus stops, so that travellers can lock their bikes up before the next stretch of their trip; or having sidewalks, bike lanes, and bus routes all connect so that you can travel continuously from one place to another, while using various methods of sustainable transport. All of these needs must be met if residents of Dundas desire to move away from today's car-culture and towards a more eco-friendly lifestyle.
Q4) What are some suggestions you've heard from people?
Some of the suggestions I've heard from people include the following:
- wider sidewalks
- re-painting crosswalks
- more stop-lights
- higher frequency of HSR buses through Dundas
- pedestrian-friendly intersections (clear crosswalks, railings for pedestrian islands)
- more bike lanes
- grass/flowerbed buffer-zone (mini-boulevard) between Hatt Street & the sidewalk to provide more protection & distance from traffic
- closing off King Street completely to make a pedestrian-only street
- continuous sidewalk leading from Creekside Dr. to Governer's along Ogilvie.
This list of suggestions is not exhaustive, and the suggestions have come from a wide variety of residents. Not everyone supports the idea of turning King St. into a permanent pedestrian-only street, but it's a bold suggestion that is important to consider - especially because it prompts us to consider the idea of pedestrian-only streets in general.
Q5) Describe an interesting or surprising moment you experienced.
I was having troubles thinking of a surprising moment, since most of the suggestions I heard were ones that I figured might arise after reviewing the Dundas area, but one that pops into mind was when I spoke with the Creekside residents. Most individuals had expressed dissatisfaction with the HSR bus frequency and service, but there were a few people from Creekside that felt the bus service was running quite well, and that they didn't have many complaints. They also explained some of the benefits of having the buses run as they do through the town. The perspective was nice to hear, since it's always helpful to hear arguments from both sides and from multiple perspectives.
Q6) What happens now that the project is over? Is there a legacy?
Thanks Alessandra for your insights and your dedication to Dundas' sustainability!Now that the project has been completed, we are working to ensure that the information is passed on to community groups (like Dundas in Transition), who can then continue our efforts. Ideally, we will receive funding for another year in Dundas and we can continue to work on the Eco-Motion Project. While our initial 6-week blitz was helpful in to jump-starting the project, it is imperative that we continue our efforts through self-sustaining means. This means ensuring that the information is not lost, but is utilized by local groups & remains alive in discussion. The Dundas Eco-Motion Project isn't just an Environment Hamilton initiative; it's a project for the people of Dundas, about the people of Dundas, and by the people of Dundas. It's about ensuring that the community's diverse voices are heard and taken into consideration during decision making processes & policy forming.

Hey people! =D
Well, like all of you might know, people who don't live in the USA (like me) can't go to iCarly.com, because we're automatically redirected to the national iCarly site (from our country), but I've just found a way to go to iCarly.com without an IP Hider or any other software you have to download!
It's really simple, you just have to type this into the URL bar: (or just click on the link =P)
This way, you won't be redirected to any other site, you'll go straight to the American site.
It really works, I've tested it myself! =)
Oh, and it also works to go to TheSlap.com! Here's the link:
Thanks for the attention =)

|Episode Chronology
"The Buddy System" is the 31st episode of The Venture Bros. and is part of Season 3. The episode introduces a new, retired arch-villain, Dr. Z (who later appears in the episode "Self-Medication"). A new recurring character, Dermott Fictel, who is hinted to be Brock Samson's son in this episode, makes his first appearance.
The episode begins with a commercial for Rusty's Day Camp for Boy Adventurers. It cuts to Dr. Venture sitting at an autograph table on the front lawn of the Venture compound voicing his appreciation for his fans to a less than impressed Brock Samson. They are approached by Tim-Tom and Kevin, the Murderous Moppets, who are disguised as children to infiltrate the day camp for The Monarch. Only Brock sees through their deception.
Billy Quizboy, Action Johnny, the Order of the Triad, and the Ghost Pirate Captain are all hosting booths at the day camp where they make presentations to the kids. Johnny is no longer using narcotics, but he is still highly unstable and ingesting large amounts of Xanax. Hank and Dean Venture meet another teenager, Dermott Fictel, who wears an old, beaten-up Army jacket and is rude, obnoxious, and a pathological liar. Dermott impresses Hank by boasting that his father is in "black ops" and he never met him, but Dean does not like Dermott.
Dr. Mrs. The Monarch catches The Monarch talking to Tim Tom and Kevin on his laptop and accuses him of "arching" Dr. Venture again. She has also designed a new costume which is more butterfly-themed than her previous one.
Brock is confronted by Dermott while giving a judo demonstration. Dermott smugly insists that his hands are registered as deadly weapons by the government and that he could easily defeat Brock in combat. Brock is clearly angered, but is interrupted by Dr. Venture before he can attack the teenager. Dr. Venture picks up all the kids on a trackless train and takes them to see one of his father's old experiments, a dome called the "E-den" containing a self-contained biosphere. Hank and Dermott insult Dr. Venture during the ride on the people mover.
Unfortunately, Dr. Venture had not entered the E-den since his father died. Venture, Billy, and the children discover a human skeleton tied upside-down to a St. Andrew's cross. A gorilla attacks the group, and Venture manages to calm it a bit. Most of the children escape from the dome, but Dermott (trying to impress Hank Venture) shoots Billy with a spring loaded pellet gun—causing Billy to yelp in pain, and causing the ape to attack again. Billy emerges from the dome with his mechanical hand ripped off and says he saw a child get disemboweled in the dome, prompting Dr. Venture to darkly remark "not like on T.V, is it, boy?"
Meanwhile, Brock seeks advice from Dr. Orpheus concerning his frustration with the obnoxious Dermott. Brock concludes that it is wrong to attack Dermott himself, but it is okay to get another kid to do it. He attempts to train Dean to beat up Dermott, but Dean proves too physically weak to do so. Unable to find Hank, Brock attempts to recruit the Murderous Moppets for this purpose, but decides against it when they imply they will stab the boy to death. He also tells The Monarch through the spy camera in Tim Tom's cap that Doctor Venture misses him.
All of the characters meet up at the main stage for the day camp's big finale. Action Johnny is joined by a special guest, Dr. Z, who once was Johnny's arch-nemesis and tormented the boy endlessly. Dr. Z impresses the crowd of children with his villainous tone of voice. In a loving, almost endearing way, he asks if he can shoot at Johnny from a helicopter or drop scorpions on him. (Dr. Venture refuses to give his permission for this.) Johnny has a complete emotional breakdown and is carried away by Brock. Dermott makes fun of Brock to Hank, Dean, and Triana Orpheus, who are all sitting in the seats watching the show. When Dermott insults Dean while sexually insulting Triana, Dean becomes enraged and beats Dermott badly with his fists. Dr. Venture wants to break up the fight, but a smiling Brock keeps him back—insisting that kids will be kids.
Suddenly, Sergeant Hatred (Dr. Venture's arch-nemesis) arrives in a hovertank, and his henchmen burn some of the Venture compound's shrubbery with flamethrowers. Brock kills one of the henchmen, and Sergeant Hatred and Dr. Venture call a truce to discuss the situation. They conclude that Hatred misread his schedule and attacked at the wrong time. Dr. Venture introduces Hatred to Dr. Z, who turns out to be the soldier's childhood hero. In a montage sequence set to 'Laugh-in' style '60's pop jazz, photographs are shown of Hatred embracing Dr. Z, Triana appearing impressed by Dean's flexed bicep (he's actually forcing it up with his hand), Hank putting an unconscious Billy's hand in warm water (a reference to the urban legend that a sleeping person will urinate when their hand is placed in a bowl of warm water), and Dr. Venture blocking the camera from getting a clear view of Hank and Dean's clone maturation/storage chambers.
At the end of the night, parents pick up their children on the steps of the Venture Compound. Dr. Venture has cloned the dead child and manages to fool the parents into believing the clone is the original, despite it being barely viable. Hank talks to his new friend Dermott some more before Dermott gets into a car with his mom, whose face is hidden in darkness. She asks if he met "him," to which Dermott replies "Yeah, he was okay. Are you sure he's my real father?"
In the post-credits scene, Dr. Mrs. The Monarch congratulates and embraces the Moppets for a job well done, saying they were "perfect as always". The Moppets check out her bosom and comment on how much they both like her new costume and like hugging her in her new costume, whereupon she tells them to stop hugging her.
Cultural referencesEdit
Wikiquote has a list of quotes from The Buddy System
- Dr. Venture dismisses the idea of a cartoon series called "The Venture Brothers."
- Action Johnny is Jonny Quest, and Dr. Z is meant to be Dr. Zin, one of Jonny Quest's archnemeses.
- The words and bizarre sentence structure that Dr. Venture uses to try and talk to the gorilla are taken from Koko and her online chat on AOL. His insistence that he "needs a kitten" is also a reference to Koko.
- Dermott says that Triana looks like a Suicide Girl, a reference to an erotic Web site featuring pinups of goth/alternative girls such as Triana.
- When asked by a camper "what happened to him" since his identity as Rusty as a boy, Dr. Venture responses, "I left Neverland and married Wendy," a Peter Pan reference used commonly as a metaphor for growing up.
- Dermott states when drawing his pellet gun that "Mr Action has just joined the server", a reference to online multiplayer first person shooters.
- A number of references involve the Pirate Captain:
- The Pirate Captain's exhibit aims to cultivate interest in small-time diversionary menace (as opposed to the decidedly more grandiose career of super-villainy)... "chasing off meddlin' kids, and wearing rubber masks." This is a reference to his original character role as a parody of Scooby-Doo villains in "Ghosts of the Sargasso". The Captain then gives several instances of this endeavor, straight from Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!:
- A ghost miner 49er is from "Mine Your Own Business"
- The ghost pirate captain is Redbeard from "Go Away, Ghost Ship"
- The Pirate Captain claims he has met Cher, and "the guy who did the voice for Inspector Gadget" (Don Adams). Both Cher and Adams made guest appearances on The New Scooby-Doo Movies.
- The Pirate Captain also expresses admiration for his career by noting he looks like Johnny Depp, an obvious reference to the Pirates of the Caribbean films.
- During the snapshots The Pirate Captain poses like rum mascot Captain Morgan.
- The Pirate Captain's exhibit aims to cultivate interest in small-time diversionary menace (as opposed to the decidedly more grandiose career of super-villainy)... "chasing off meddlin' kids, and wearing rubber masks." This is a reference to his original character role as a parody of Scooby-Doo villains in "Ghosts of the Sargasso". The Captain then gives several instances of this endeavor, straight from Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!:
- The Monarch's computer resembles the original iBook G3, except it has his butterfly logo where the Apple logo would be.
Connections to Other EpisodesEdit
- Having been previously introduced in the episode "Twenty Years to Midnight," this is the first time the Johnny character is referred to as Action Johnny.
- Dr. Z. is a parody of Dr. Zin, one of Jonny Quest's more notorious enemies. Since the show creates many parallels between Jonny Quest and Action Johnny, this explains why Action Johnny is so distressed over Dr. Z's appearance.
- In this episode Dermott is hinted to be Brock Samson's son but his actual father will be revealded in Everybody Comes to Hank.
Goofs Edit
- Dean gives Dermott a pretty bad beating (a black eye, facial bruises and a busted lip) at 5:30pm. Yet his mother picks him up at twilight (2 hours later at most), and Dermott doesn't have a mark on him.
- For a brief moment, the cross guard of the Sea Captain's sword changes color. From yellow to red.
First AppearencesEdit
Production notesEdit
- One of the animation directors (wikipedia:Kimson Albert|Kimson Albert) has a "nickname" inserted into his credits. The nickname is an unusual line or word from the preceding episode. For "The Buddy System" the credit reads Kimson "Spinning Murder Top" Albert.
- The Wilhelm Scream can be heard when Brock Samson attacks one of Sergeant Hatred's henchmen. It can be heard during the commercial which opens the episode, when the lightbulb that looks and sounds like Dr. Venture introduces Action Johnny.
- During the beginning scene with Rusty Venture light bulb introducing you to the camp, in the background there are photos scrolling by of Doc Hammer as a child.

Australia Cricketers' Association (ACA) chief Paul Marsh has claimed senior players are not ruling out strike action if the June 30 deadline passes without a new pay agreement, but going on a strike would be an absolute last resort for them.
The Cricket Australia (ACA) and Marsh are engaged in a feud over negotiations for a new five-year pay deal.
Australia's involvement in the Twenty20 World Cup in Sri Lanka in September could be under threat, along with Australia's one-day international tour of England in June-July if the players decide to go on a strike.
"You can't rule anything out. I don't want this to sound like the players are all preparing to go on strike because that's not the case at all," The Sydney Morning Herald quoted Marsh, as saying to a local radio channel.
"That type of action is an absolute last resort," he added.
Marsh said if a new deal couldn't be agreed upon by June 30, the ACA would prefer to keep the current deal rolling along in the short term.
"If Cricket Australia don't want to do that, then we're forced with a decision to make. We either accept the position that they put forward or we look at what our other options are," Marsh said.
"We should be making sure we know what all the different options are so if that time comes, we can sit down with the players and say 'what do you want to do?" he added. (ANI)

Please confirm that you want to add CMOS Analog Circuit Design to your Wishlist.
This course serves as a brief overview of the topic of analog IC design. It is a high level view of what analog IC design is all about and discusses the requirements for a designer in this field. In reality, this course is a snapshot of a more detailed, 40 hour course on CMOS analog design found elsewhere.
The target audience for this course should have some familiarity with analog circuits and integrated circuit technology. The terminology used is that found in both academia and industry.
This course is stand alone and has no quizzes or other material - it is designed to be a quick refresher or a introduction to the topic of analog IC design. The course will take approximately 3 hours to complete and consists of 12 lectures of 15-20 minutes in length.
Students new to analog IC design can take this course to gain an overview of the topic. Those who are familiar with IC design or have been away from the field for a while, can use the course to come up to date with the field of analog IC design.
The more detailed 40 hour course on CMOS Analog Design is found on other venues (Continued Professional Development at Imperial College of London) and has quizzes associated with the course. Check with the instructor, Dr. Allen, if you are interested in the in-depth course or go to the Imperial College website.
Phillip Allen received his PhD in electrical engineering from the University of Kansas in 1970. He retired from the School of Electrical Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology as Professor Emeritus in 2005.
He has worked for the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, Pacific Missile Range, Texas Instruments and consulted with numerous companies. He has taught at the University of Nevada at Reno, University of Kansas, University of California at Santa Barbara, and Texas A&M University.
His technical interest include analog integrated circuit and systems design with focus on implementing low voltage and high frequency circuits and systems in standard CMOS technology. He has conducted research in frequency synthesizers, RF, IF, and baseband filters compatible with standard IC technology.
He has over 60 refereed publications in the area of analog circuits and has coauthored Theory and Design of Active Filters (1980), Switched Capacitor Filters (1984), CMOS Analog Circuit Design (1987), and VLSI Design Techniques for Analog and Digital Circuits (1990).
He is presently active in teaching short courses on analog IC design to professionals worldwide. Also, over the past few years, he has developed proprietary courses for specific semiconductor companies to help their analog designers more effectively and efficiently utilize their particular technologies.

So today, I'll tease you with a few drawings.
After drawing this piece, I became fascinated with the light seemed to shine in these trees.
There is a tangle pattern (probably more than one, actually) called Nekton that is similar to what I'm doing, but I'm actually playing with a form of hatching (parallel lines used to create tonal value- http://startstudioarts.si.edu/2010/06/tips-and-techniques-creating-value-in-ink-drawings.html).
It's a great background for a silhouette, and really highlights the 'glow' for this kind of drawing. Should I do it up as a pattern?
It's a great background for a silhouette, and really highlights the 'glow' for this kind of drawing.
I did another with an eye to coloring it in.
I wanted color that was almost more of a tint so I used stamp pad re-inkers (you can buy bottles of the liquid ink used for stamp pads. When your stamp pad dries out, you squeeze more ink into it. The bottles are cheaper than buying a new pad). I squeezed drops of ink onto small foam coloring sticks, using Elderberry, Pistachio and LuLu Lavender with Sunflower for the sun. I was trying for a Spanish moss look with the Pistachio, but I think it got a bit muddy.

The RFID Solutions Laboratory was once again invited by the IfE to be one of the representatives of PolyU to exhibit their solutions at the HKTDC Hong Kong International Medical Devices and Supplies Fair 2013. This fair was held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from 14 May 2013 to 16 May 2013. The 3-day exhibit attracted over 8,200 local and international visitors.
The laboratory demonstrated their medical-related RFID solutions including "RFID-based Electronic Nursing Management System" and "RFID-based Drug Management System". The visitors expressed their interests in these solutions which could potentially improve their medical-related business operations and management.
In addition to the local and international visitors, Mr Anthony T.Y. Wu, Chairman of the Hong Kong Hospital Authority, also visited the booth. Dr W.H. Ip, Associate Professor of the ISE Department, gave an introduction regarding the medical-related solutions to the guests.
The laboratory received considerable positive feedbacks and enquiries from the visitors during the exhibition, particularly on the details of the RFID solutions and the possibility of collaboration. The exhibitors hoped that the visitors left with a better understanding of RFID technology, as well as aspired to trigger increased collaboration to enhance medical-related operation and management development.

Flood damage write-off. (Illustration by Wesley Eggebrecht)
Over the last few winters, the UK has been hit by some appalling weather. It may be, as some forecasters believe, a long-term change in the country's climate or just a bad run of luck, but recently we've experienced more than our fair share of blizzards, high winds and extreme flooding.
For many classic car enthusiasts, this doesn't affect their hobby; the cars remain safely tucked up in the garage until the worst of the weather passes. But for the unfortunate few, bad weather can have a devastating impact on their classic vehicle, whether it is crushed by a falling tree or submerged in floodwater.
One Hagerty client from Carlisle suffered such a fate this winter. His 1932 Jowett Special, a car he had spent over six years restoring and rebuilding, was caught in a very significant flood and totally submerged. It was days before the waters subsided enough to allow him access with a trailer and remove the car.
In a situation like this, the underwriters- the company that actually insure the car- carry out a blunt calculation: is the cost involved in cleaning, drying and restoring the car worthwhile, or would it be more efficient to write off the vehicle? For flooding claims, the answer is almost always a full write-off (Category A or B) meaning the car is only to be used as scrap. Our unfortunate client from Cumbria was told just this: his car was to be categorised as a Category B write-off.
But as every classic car enthusiast knows, there is much more to a historical vehicle than just the monetary value, and many owners (and indeed brokers) may be unaware that classics may be treated differently, as Bob Owen, the Legislative Chairman of the Federation of British Historical Vehicle Clubs explains.
"The insurers are working under the Salvage Code of Conduct from the Motor Insurance Bureau. This Code is in the process of being changed and is in draft form at present, but we (the FBHVC) have lobbied so that it specifically states that classic cars should be treated differently."
All well and good so far- except the Code is not published and it requires the owner or the broker to know that some leeway may be given to classic cars. Fortunately, as Hagerty International MD Angus Forsyth explains, our client was in a strong position. "Hagerty just deal with classic car insurance policies and we're aware of the emotional and historical value invested in classic, vintage and veteran vehicles. In this situation we were able to talk to the underwriters and explain this, and that the owner was prepared to decontaminate and restore the car primarily himself. That allowed them to reclassify the vehicle as a Category C write-off, allowing it to be restored to the road."
Unfortunately, not every historic vehicle involved in an insurance claim can be protected from being scrapped, but Hagerty hopes that the protection afforded to other historic assets could be further extended to classic cars; can you imagine the furore if a Grade 2 listed cottage was marked for demolition following a flood?
So, if your classic vehicle is involved in a weather-related claim, what should you do? First, explain to your broker that your car is an historic vehicle and make sure its provenance or history is understood. Second, as Bob Owen advises, tell your club. "If the club is a member of the FBHVC, we can help by providing advice." Finally, if you are not already covered by a specific classic car insurance policy, consider changing- it may be worthwhile in the event of a claim to have someone onside who understands that classic vehicles can't often be simply replaced.

Period: New Kingdom
Dynasty: Dynasty 18
Reign: Joint reign of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III
Date: ca. 1479–1458 B.C.
Geography: From Egypt, Upper Egypt, Thebes, Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, below the Tomb of Senenmut (TT 71), burial 2, MMA excavations, 1935–36
Medium: Halfa grass and linen cord; travertine (Egyptian alabaster); linen, linen cord, ebony; boxwood and cypress
Dimensions: basket with lid: H. 17 x Diam. 28 cm (6 11/16 x 11 in.)
Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1936
Accession Number: 36.3.189,.190,.199-related
The objects shown here were discovered with the burial of an unnamed woman who lived at about the same time as Hatnefer. The basket contains a mass of fine braids of dark brown human hair and three bundles of loose, wavy locks. These tresses would have been used to augment the owner's own hair in order to create the fashionable hairstyle of the period. The lid of the small alabaster jar has been covered with a scrap of cloth bound with linen cord to keep the contents—the powdery eye makeup known as kohl—from spilling out. When found inside the basket, the sticklike kohl applicator of polished ebony was stuck through a fold in the linen. The small wooden box was two compartments, each with a sliding lid, and was probably used for jewelry.

It shouldnt matter if you're upset or the happiest person on the face of the earth. She shouldn't be snippy or unresponsive or anything other than the most helpful she can be. If she cant schedule a time to take you to see these houses, then she should have someone she works with fill in for her when she can't be there personally.
Customer service (or lack of it) is really one of my pet peeves and bad service I have little to no patience for....on a good day!!

So here is my situation. There is this girl that I have been on a few dates with and everything worked out. But as the school year was ending I asked her to start dating. She said her parents didn't want her dating in high school and said they weren't happy about the dates we went on. My problem is I still have hope that this can still work out I believe I can convince her parents to let us date. But I need to know a way to let her know I still want a relationship without sounding clingy or desperate. I also would like to know if you think it is best if I just move on.
How do I go about this? ( Girls advice recommended please. )
Have an opinion?
What Girls Said 2
Definitely try to hang out in groups. Go to her hhouse in a group so the parents won't be on guard Back at school. Let summer session begin!with you, and definitly stay casual over the summer. You'll be in a better positions with her parents by end of summer00|00|0
Wait it out. Hang some more in like a big group of friends so her parents are okay with it. Just see what happens. Maybe by the end of the summer her parents might be cool with dating a guy they know is good for her. Like get on there good side. If she rides with you anywhere bring her back like 10 minutes early stuff like that. Above all just have fun over the summer don't make anything confusing.00|00|0

Dr. Sterling is a very caring doctor. He is very thorough before making a decision on what has to be done. After my catherization he explained to me the results and what my next step was. During the catherization, everything ran smoothly he explained what he was going to do and what I might feel. I was at ease during the procedure and very confident that I was in the hands of a very experienced doctor. I hardly got bruised.

At first doctor is great and office staff friendly only to discover horrible customer service from office manager. Inept front end. A doctor can be great but if his staff creates too many barriers to quality care then why bother. Poor doctor I hope he figures this out before its too late. I experianced this at the Guttenberg office multiple times.

- Authors:
- Abstract:
- The paper describes the multilevel flow modelling methodology which can be used to construct functional models of energy and material processing systems. The models describe mass and energy flow topology on different levels of abstraction and represent the hierarchical functional structure of complex systems. A model of a nuclear power plant (PWR) is presented in the paper for illustration. Due to the consistency of the method, multilevel flow models provide specifications of plant goals and functions and may be used as a basis for design of computer-based support systems for the plant operator. Plant control requirements can be derived from the models and due to independence of the actual controller implementation the method may be used as a basis for design of control strategies and for the allocation of control tasks to the computer and the plant operator.

Hi there everyone. My name is Kevin, I'm 21 and I've still got my starter cards. It's time to upgrade, since these cards have low limits and no perks. I feel I have a pretty good knowledge of credit, credit cards, loans, and just finance in general. However, nothing beats input from people who use different cards on a daily basis.
I have a PNC Visa Points card with a $500 limit. This is the first card I ever got when I was 18. It was issued in July of 2009. It just recently, within the last 2 months, started to link to my debit card from PNC so now the points are pooled together. They really are worthless though, since everything cost a fortune in points. I use this card for every subscription-based thing I have. Gym membership, netflix, cell phone, etc. It's paid in full every month. I don't use it for anything else, and how can I? With a $500 cap, I might as well just buy it in cash. The interest rate is about 14.9%.
I have a Capital One Platinum MasterCard with a $750 limit, which is the second card I ever got, only 3 months after my PNC Points Card. It was issued in September 2009. It started as a $500 limit, and after I was in good standing for 3 months, they raised it to $750. I use this card randomly. I buy fuel with it here and there, sometimes food, whatever I feel like. The only reason I use it is to show them some activity. The interest rate is 22.99%, and with a special promotion, they dropped it to 18.9% for 6 months. Again though, with a $750 limit and an interest rate like that, why would I even bother buying anything with it instead of paying in cash?
I have my AMEX Gold (Not the rewards one) which has no pre-set limit, and it's the third card I ever got. I'm happy with the AMEX card. I can buy what I want and pay it in full. Every now and then, I make a bigger purchase and pay it over 2-3 months since the interest is somewhere around 14.9% or so. Not everyone takes AMEX though, so it does limit you a little bit.
I got my car loan May 31st, 2010 with my dad as a co-signer. I pay a bit more than the minimum every month, all of the payments have been 2 weeks early, and the balance is now ~$16.2k. When I got the loan, it was for ~$24.5k. The loan is through Chase Bank, and I've been told by people that it's really good because Chase is very picky about who they loan money too.
Now, there are several reasons why I want to upgrade my cards.
- I want points, cash back, or something for using them
- I want a higher limit card so I can buy bigger things and pay them off over a couple months if I decide to
- I hate that if I spend $300 out of my available $1,250, it sees that as 24% of my available credit being used, lowering my credit score temporarily. With a card that has a limit of $5k or so, that wouldn't even be a factor.
- I plan to buy a house within the next 5-6 years, possibly sooner, and having an excellent credit report with credit cards that have limits of $5k or more, along with my car loan in good standing, looks much better than good credit with starter cards that have $500 and $750 limits. *** NOTE *** I don't want to go crazy with credit cards right now, because having crazy limits on your credit cards when you apply for a mortgage counts against you as too much potential debt, and can hurt you. However, having at least one card over $5k is helpful to show you can manage credit properly.
I was going to apply for a Capital One Venture card, but after thinking about it and reading up on everything, I don't know if points are the best option since I don't spend crazy money on cards every year. Under $10k per year on cards currently. I also looked into a Chase Sapphire, but after beating it out of a person on the phone who didn't want to tell me, I found out they really don't want to accept you unless you make $70k at a minimum with an amazing credit score.
I've also been told that airline cards provide more miles, and their miles are worth far more for plane tickets than miles or points from regular cards. I know you also run into the issue of blackout dates and availability and all that. I also don't fly often since I work 6-7 days a week and I'm a really cheap person. I think I've been on 6 round trip flights in my life. That's a reason why I think cash back might be a better option, especially since everything that you can buy with points costs a small fortune.
I just checked my credit with Score Sense and across the board at all 3 bureaus I have a 766. It'll go up to about 775 if I wait another month for it to update since I paid every card in full. I have no hard inquiries (well - there's one on experian from Verizon from just under 2 years ago, and one from Kohl's (store card) from a bit over a year ago -- both companies claim they were soft inquiries, but Score Sense lists them as hard inquiries -- Equifax and TransUnion are clear), no late payments, no judgements, no collections, nothing at all that is negative.
So I'm asking for an opinion from you guys that have all these different cards. What do you think is the best option for me? I'm specifically looking for a VISA Signature top-tier card, which means $5k minimum limit. I read through quite a few threads here, and I see a lot of you guys saying the Chase Freedom is a great card. Since my car loan is with Chase, that would probably help me get approved. Can you guys give me some more details why it's great since you use it every day? Also, are there any income requirements to get it? My main concern is not getting approved for $5k or so which means I wouldn't be able to get a Signature card.
If I left out any information that is necessary, I'll be more than happy to provide it.
Thanks for the help,

Regicide attempt Edit
In 1172 during the opening of the winter court, within the Imperial Throne room, a group of gaijin ruhmalists followers of Kali-Ma had managed to infiltrate. They uncovered and attacked the attendants, trying to kill the Empress and the Empress' Chosen. Tobikuma was alongside Akodo Kurogane standing at post at the foot of the dais. Kurogane confronted the assassins who overwhelmed him and died. Tobikuma continued fighting despite the loss of an eye. The Protector of the Imperial City Bayushi Norachai was killed before all the assassins were dead. After the incident the Emerald Champion Shosuro Jimen cancelled the winter court, because he could not assure the safety of the attendants. [3] Tobikuma's wounds were grievous, and his return was uncertain. [4]

Tobikuma died before the end of the Destroyer War. [5]
