Pada tanggal 15 Januari 2007 telah ditandatangani tentang kesepakatan kerjasama antara 3 negara (Indonesia, Malaysia dan Brunei Darussalam) dalam konservasi kawasan "Heart of Borneo (HoB)", kawasan yang merupakan kawasan lintas batas negara yang paling menarik di dunia berupa hotspot keanekaragaman hayati pada ekosistem hutan hujan tropis.
Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity Mr. Ahmed Djoghlaf, Executive Secretary of the Convention on Biological Diversity, applauds the agreement between the Governments of Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia and Malaysia to conserve the "Heart of Borneo"
Montreal - IS January 2007 The declaration by the Governments of Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia and Malaysia to officially endorse a historic agreement to conserve the "Heart of Borneo" demonstrates, according to Mr. Ahmed Djoghlaf, Executive Secretary of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) "the commitment of these Governments to conserve one of the world's most spectacular transboundary tropical rainforest biodiversity hotspots".The initiative aims to establish a network of transboundary protected areas across the borders of these three countries to maximize linkages, forest connectivity and sustainable land-use practices for effective management and conservation."The endorsement of the Heart of Borneo conservation initiative is a firm step toward achieving the 2010 biodiversity target, and implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity's programmes of work on protected areas and forest biological diversity, said Mr. Djoghlaf. "This decision, taken at the Third Summit of the East ASEAN Growth Area, is of the greatest political significance and concretizes the initiative taken by these countries during the eighth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity held in Curitiba, Brazil, in 2006."Covering an area of 220,000 kmZ of mountainous regions, and lying within both terrestrial and freshwater Global 200 ecoregions prioritized for biodiversity of global significance, the Heart of Borneo is home to tremendous biodiversity, including ten primate species, over 350 bird species, 150 reptile and amphibian species, and 10,000 plant species. The forests harbour some of the most biologically diverse habitats on Earth and sustain rich, rare, endemic and unique biota, making it one of the only two places on Earth where endangered species such as orangutans, Asian elephants, Sumatran rhinoceros and proboscis monkey still co-exist.Mr. Djoghlaf said the initiative also serves to highlight South-South cooperation on biodiversity, for which the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity, in partnership with the Group of 77, is in the process of preparing a multi-year programme of work to implement the three objectives of the Convention.He added that: "In the era of the new enhanced phase of implementation of the Convention and greater focus on the achievement of the 2010 biodiversity target, the Heart of Borneo initiative is a testimony to the resolve of these three ASEAN countries to spare no effort to meet the challenges of protecting life on Earth, and I congratulate them for their political will and commitment."
Information for Journalists:The Heart of Borneo
The Heart of Borneo is a tri-country conservation initiative that aims to preserve one of the most important centres of biological diversity in the world. The three Borneangovernments-Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia and Malaysia-officially launched the initiative and declared their commitment to support it on 27 March 2006 during the eighth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, held in Curitiba, Brazil, in 2006.
The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)The Convention on Biological Diversity is one of the most broadly subscribed international environmental treaties in the world. Opened for signature at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro Brazil in 1992, it currently has 189 Parties-188 States and the European Community-who have committed themselves to its three main goals: the conservation of biodiversity, sustainable use of its components and the equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the utilization of genetic resources. The Secretariat of the Convention is located in Montreal, Canada.

text: How desperately does Atlanta need a 300-person capacity music venue with amazing acoustics located in a neighborhood that embraces its mission? It almost happened and still could if a buyer steps up to the plate. Local artist and musician Evan Levy has spent the last year converting The Temple, an AME church on Wylie Street in Reynoldstown, into an amazing event space. Renovation of the two-story granite building with original heart of pine floors and 20 stunning stained glass windows is nearly complete, and it's already been re-zoned commercial. Several big-name touring artists have already inquired about recording in the space — the acoustics have to be heard to be believed. Now it just needs a loving owner to make it happen.

Investigators say they've finished searching for clues at the last known address of a woman missing for 30 years.
The Portage County Sheriff's Department reports that they collected several bone fragments at the Amherst Junction home where police believe 100-year-old Marie Jost was buried. She and her son Theodore Jost have been missing since the 1980's.
"There is nothing larger than 6 inches," said Capt. Dale O'Kray, Portage Co. Sheriff's Department. "We've talked with some experts and they've said this possibly maybe like a rib bone or possibly a human bone compared to an animal or anything else."
The bone fragments have been sent to Madison for testing.
Authorities have used cadaver dogs and even excavators to search for evidence.
Three of Jost's family members have been charged with fraudulently cashing Jost's social security checks. 69-year-old Delores Disher is due to appear in court Friday afternoon.
The sheriff's department also released two photos. One shows Marie Jost in approximately 1980. The other shows Theodore Jost in the late 1950's.

Special to USA Today: Librarian of the year, man of RWA, aspiring cover model … these were just some of the names Sean Gilmartin was called while attending this year's Romance Writers of America conference in San Antonio.
"I (Gilmartin) was very close to adding car thief" to the list but luckily I can leave that out. Apparently, when a driver is holding a sign that clearly states Barbara Samuel, who just happens to be a seven-time RITA winner and RWA Hall of Famer, that vehicle is not for you. Needless to say, I didn't steal her ride from the airport but ironically was only a few hotel rooms down from her. Barbara, if you're reading this, I promise I wasn't stalking you at the conference; we really just kept running into each other. By coincidence. A lot.
That was the start of my RWA and the launch into my hashtag on Twitter: #SeanDoesRWA. I intended for it to be a way for family and friends to easily follow my escapades, but it actually turned into my best communication tool. People all over the conference were saying hello and despite not having met in person, we were chatting daily. I would then run into someone, standing in line for a book signing or whatnot, and we would actually meet. It was a surreal and incredible experience that lessened the fear deep inside of me that fueled my preconceived notion that as a librarian I would not fit in. It didn't matter that RWA has a special award for librarians — no, I was certain that I would feel isolated in the midst of 2,000 romance authors. I could not have been more wrong, and people could not have been more friendly, kind, and gracious to me every single day of RWA.
From Shelf-Awareness a report on author James Patterson's address to conference participants:
"Amazon seems out to control shopping in this country. This ultimately will have an effect on every grocery and department store chain and every big box store and ultimately put thousands of mom and pop stores out of business. It sounds like a monopoly to me. Amazon also wants to control bookselling, the book business and book publishing. That's a national tragedy. If this is the new American way, it has to be changed by law if necessary."
Listen to host Manoush Zomorodi* of NPR determine people's opinions about Google Glass (affordability, issues of privacy). Have you tried it out? What do you think? I saw a few folks wearing Glass at ALA-MW.
Here's New Tech City's website and here's South by Southwest's website.
(*Finally figured out how Ms. Zomorodi's name is spelled).
As libraries grow increasingly digital and technically complex, how will the gender inequities that are also prevalent in the information technology field impact librarianship? The field of librarianship is largely made up of women, and yet women are significantly underrepresented in leadership positions.
This summit will convene a group of dynamic, invested, and creative people from varied backgrounds and types of libraries to discuss these issues and examine how we might build a future for libraries and librarianship free from gender bias. We hope to inspire practical, actionable approaches for a brighter future. What is the library community doing right? Where can we improve?
The LTG summit will provide the opportunity for focused attention on a big challenge for our profession. It is the organizers' intent to include thoughtful library professionals at all levels of the field and regardless of gender who wish to participate in a dynamic set of conversations about leadership, technology and gender in libraries and related fields.
Mark your calendars for March 19-21, 2014 in Austin, Texas. This event will immediately follow the Electronic Resources & Libraries conference with overlapping workshops focused on coding and project management skills.
Hack the Library!
This is your chance to share your ideas!
Deadline is September 16, 2013
Information Today, Inc., a key provider of technology conferences for more than thirty years with Internet Librarian and KMWorld, is pleased to announce the 29th annual Computers in Libraries - the most comprehensive North American conference and exhibition concentrating all aspects of library technology.
Our theme, Hack the Library!, highlights the creative solutions, technologies and practices that those working with computers in libraries or libraries in computers are dealing with today. Libraries are changing - building creative spaces with learning commons and makerspaces; engaging audiences in different ways with community managers and embedded librarians; advocating for learning and literacy in new and exciting ways.
The focus of the conference is on leading edge technology that allows us to engage with, and bring strategic value to, our user communities. It provides the latest information and practices for you to make informed choices for your community -- whether it is an academic, corporate, non-profit, public, or school library community.
If you would like to participate in Computers in Libraries 2014 as a speaker or workshop leader, please submit a proposal as soon as possible (September 16, 2013 at the very latest).
Digital Repositories workshop at the NYLA Annual Conference, Wednesday, September 25, 2013, Niagara Falls, NY
Sponsor: Academic and Special Libraries Section
Half Day PM Program 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM
This workshop addresses key issues surrounding the creation, maintenance, and cultivation of digital repositories. Drawing on the latest literature, case studies, and personal experiences, speakers lead a discussion that covers planning the digital repository, selecting a methodology for its establishment, populating it with content, marketing it to the library's constituencies, and meeting the various challenges and questions along the way. Participants have the opportunity to bring their own experiences to bear, as well as engage in group discussions regarding how to get the most out of a digital repository.

Zef is a South African counter-culture movement.
Origin of the term[edit]
|This section appears to contradict itself about etymology. (October 2012)
The word zef is an Afrikaans slang word, which roughly translates to the English word common. Jack Parow, in an interview, describes the movement as "kind of like posh, but the opposite of posh."[1] It differs from the Australian term bogan, and the British term chav in that it is mostly a positive term for oneself, rather than a derogatory term for someone else.[citation needed] It is also not typical of the poorest classes of the society, but rather a mostly white, lower-middle class subculture. Yolandi Visser of Die Antwoord is quoted as saying, "It's associated with people who soup their cars up and rock gold and shit. Zef is, you're poor but you're fancy. You're poor but you're sexy, you've got style."[2][3][4]
The word "zef" is a shortening of the name of the Ford Zephyr motorcar that was popular worldwide from the 1950s to the 1970s. In South Africa, these cars were often owned by working-class people, especially from the then-upcoming East and West Rand areas of Johannesburg (due to gold mining activity and the rising price of gold after it was de-coupled from a fixed price of USD 35 per fine ounce). The average Zephyr driver, while relatively comfortable financially in the 70s,[citation needed] was still generally from a more working-class than elite or highly educated background, so owners of these cars were given the derogatory description of being "zef" (Zephyr owner) by middle-class and more well-to-do South Africans.[citation needed]
Zef music and culture[edit]
The music group Die Antwoord self-identifies as "zef" in style. In an interview Jan 2011, Ninja of Die Antwoord responded to the controversy arising from his claim zef represented South Africa.[5] Critics suggested it might rather just represent (Afrikaans) white South Africa. He commented that "racism is somewhat obsolete and a thing of the past for South Africans."In the same interview, Ninja describes that zef is a style of music and a style of subculture, comparing it to hip-hop in its role in society.

GAME POW 08.23.09: Gears of War 2 Mini Column
Posted by
Sam Pow
on 08.23.2009
This weeks bite-sized GAME POW includes a great mini-guide that will show you around Gears of War 2's River map.
GAME POW here and better than ever! As if you didn't get enough awesome Gears of War action in the last column, this week there's even more! Unfortunately, my time this week is a little short, so you'll have to make do with just one Gears 2 map mini-guide. And now, my week in gaming.
Sam Pow's week in gaming: I spent almost the entire week playing strictly iPhone games. I've been playing CS.One and Toki Tori for review (both up soon), and also Zombies Live, a text MMO. I'm proud to say I'm getting pretty good at it; my level is 23 and my hourly income is over 5000. The iPhone really is a great on-the-go gaming platform, and because of all the indie development there's tons of variety and originality on the app store.
Gears of War 2: River Map Guide
River is one of Gears 2's most popular pack-in maps, and is a favorite for guardian and horde. The map's symmetrical structure and scattered bases make it perfect for hiding leaders as well as hiding from waves of locust. To properly play those roles, I'll be going over strategies for them as well as general tips and weapon locations for the map.
River is a very symmetrical map. Each side plays almost identically, so you have to place your trust in how well you use the map features. From where you start (the SP on the map) you'll first encounter a small building on your right (which will be called the cabin). This houses a cycling ink/frag grenade spawn, which can prove extremely useful (you'll see why later). The cabin has a backyard that come out near two trucks. In between the trucks is a cycling handgun spawn, which alternates between gorgon and boltok each round. Try to grab this right away; it's right out in the open and easy to get to, so your entire team should be after it.
At this point you should be at a crossroads. To your right should be a barn. This will be a key point no matter which side you're on. Inside the barn is a staircase and a longshot/torque bow spawn. If you had turned left, you would have come to a bridge, which is the central point on the map and where the majority of the fighting will take place. In the center of the bridge is a mortar, which is one of the riskiest places to be. The exposed areas on the bridge are going to be where everyone is firing, and the mortar will slow you significantly is you try to get it back to your side. I recommend getting on the sand bag nearest it with a gnasher and waiting for the other team to make the first move.
About where the cabin is located, but on the other side of the path is a staircase which leads down to the river itself. Where the bridge is you'll find its support pillars, with a boomshot in the center. This is a wonderful map point, as most people just rush for the bridge or barn at the beginning of the game. Rarely do players go for the boomshot, which plays a large part in disabling enemy snipers. Try to get this at the beginning of the match, but make sure to have a shotgun ready. If you notice an enemy heading for it also, you can set up an easy ambush. The pillars provide good enough cover that you shouldn't be visible, which means you can wait for the enemy to come and quickly chainsaw them (or shotgun). Most foes are cautious with the boomshot, and won't fire it off with you so close, and by the time they get out another weapon you will have already hacked them to bits and made off with your boomshot.
In case you haven't yet noticed, the design of River as well as its numerous hiding places makes it great for both guardian and horde. Guardian plays out excellently because there are many secure locations to hide and protect your leader. While you may go straight for the barn as leader, the cabin is generally a better spot. The grenade spawn means you can constantly keep doors and entryways tagged, and also means that you will have some steady firepower should someone get past the mines. To make sure they don't, tag the grenades on the inside of the cabin next to the door, where it isn't as easy to see. If it's a frag you get an almost guaranteed kill, and if it was ink you'll get possible kills as well as time to move about and prepare.
Horde also plays well on river. If you can round up some good snipers, this is an easy map to beat 50 with, even if you don't have 5 players. In fact, 30s and 40s are very doable on this map even with 2 or 3 people. Here's how. The barns are the most naturally protected area on the map, so get your team to one, and make sure someone grabs the handgun spawn on the way in. Now here's how you set things up. If you're playing with five people, put 2 in the upper story to pick off any visible locust. 2 more players will stand at the doors with gnashers and stop anyone from getting in. Once some maulers start to appear, the 2 door people will place two shields in front of the doorway, and become the shield players. This means they stop anything from getting in, grenade boss characters, and replant shields at the beginning of each round. The last player will stand behind the first pillar as you come up the staircase. This is the emergency character. He should be the first to grab the handgun (preferably gorgon) and be carrying hammerburst instead of lancer. This person has three jobs. The first, and most important, is that they are the primary player to take put boss characters. They will also aid and revive should both snipers or shield players go down. Their last job is to take over if the barn is infiltrated, standing their ground and firing off the hammerburst while the shield players get into cover. At that point the two snipers should also come down to assist.
Ok, one down, one to go. Now we have a short Halo Wars strategy article. Hopefully it will come in handy when you're playing all the cool DLC.
Halo Wars: Brute Chieftain Tips
Halo Wars is a game full of immense strategy, which involves ruthless raids, merciless attacks, and powerful defending. Sometimes, though, you just need a little guidance on how to strategize, as to properly crush your enemy. This is a collection of tips and tricks on how to use the Brute Chieftain leader of the Covenant.
The Brute Chieftain can be a very powerful leader, if used correctly. His unique unit is the brute, which comes in a squad of two and carries a brute shot. The Brutes are fairly inexpensive at 150 supplies, and are powerful, and useful against infantry AND vehicles. The brute shot does tend to miss aircraft, though. The first upgrade for the brute is a jetpack, which enables them to zoom around the area, easily dodging fire and getting from place to place. If you've ever played Halo 3, you know just how annoying the jetpack brutes are in combat. The second (and last) upgrade for the brute is a shock addition to their weapons, which stuns enemies. After the brutes are fully upgraded, they fly around with their jetpacks, stunning enemies and doing AOE damage, and easily taking out small to medium vehicles. It really is a sight to see. Brutes make effective scouting parties, and good chargers. Whenever I find myself without heavy vehicles during an attack, I put my brutes in the front to lead the assault. Also, I sometimes sent a small party of about 3-4 brute squads to raid enemy outposts. They can get there quickly, and since they can damage both troops and vehicles, you don't really have to worry about differentiating the units in the party. If they can take out the defense at the base, then they can easily stun and destroy created units as they leave the base, allowing time for a more substantial force to arrive and capture/destroy the outpost. This tactic can be made even better by including a grunt squad or two in the party to take out possible air units.
Also notable about brutes is that they replace the elite in the grunt squad. This does not change much, except grunt squads now have a small amount of AOE damage because of the brute shot. This also means that there are more awesome looking brutes on the field, which is always good.
The Brute Chieftain's special, or altered, unit is the brute chopper. This replaces the ghost. The chopper is a fairly fast scout/light battle unit. It has many advantages over the ghost, including more health. It has the same special attack as the ghost, being ramming, but the chopper's ram is more powerful. Also, if you've played Halo 3, you have probably seen that the chopper has the amazing ability to go right through most vehicles and utterly destroy them while turbo boosting. This remains intact in Halo Wars with the chopper special attack. It can effectively ram vehicles, and it only takes about two rams to destroy a wraith. As if this wasn't cool enough, the chopper's third upgrade is a big targe that is added to the front of the chopper, making the ram more powerful, and also reducing the damage taken to the chopper. The first upgrade is two 35mm cannons that give the chopper real fighting ability. This finally makes them useful for small raids and infantry support. The second upgrade just makes things better, adding stabilizers that increase the power and accuracy of the cannons. I used the choppers mainly for defending against enemy infantry, but they also have other purposes. Small attacks on bases and outposts work well, especially when mainly guarded by infantry. Fully upgraded, the chopper has great ramming capabilities to take out vehicles, and can become great suicide forces to use just before an assault. They can also be sent to take out troops that are wandering or in cover. Unfortunately, the cannons never really become powerful enough to take out most vehicles and aircraft, but remain fairly useful when fighting foot soldiers.
The last key point of using the Brute Chieftain is to utilize the leader himself. The Chieftain is a powerful foot soldier, and can dominate the game by raiding the enemy early. He carries a gravity hammer to beat down on his adversaries with, and doesn't hesitate in doing so. It is fairly effective, but the real charm of this leader lies in using his vortex ability. The vortex creates a black hole that sucks up and swirls around pieces caught from buildings and units. It causes steady damage, and is particularly useful when dealing with large groups or destroying buildings. When you end the attack, it creates a large explosion that blows away all the pieces swirling around and devastates nearby units. All this is at the cost of steadily decreasing supplies. This can be counteracted, however, by playing deathmatch mode. In deathmatch, you have more than enough supplies, that, when you have just a few warehouses, you can use the vortex for long amounts of time. An effective and deadly strategy is this. At the beginning of a deathmatch game, produce a temple and fill in the rest of the spaces in your base with warehouses. Now just make 5-10 brute squads, and send your party to the enemy base. Set your rally point there, and keep producing brutes. You may wish to upgrade the vortex at the temple beforehand. Try to keep the brutes in the front of the pack, and when you reach the base, use the brutes as a wall to protect the Chieftain, at which point you can use the vortex to wipe out surrounding foes. Once everyone is defeated (hopefully) just place your brute squads in a circle around the front of the enemy base, so that any units that are created will be obliterated. Now the Brute chieftain is free to attack buildings. Just position the vortex on the main base, and your enemy should soon meet their doom.
That is an easy way to take out an enemy at the beginning of a match, and also makes it easy to get the "Big Al's Scooter" achievement. (Win a skirmish match on heroic within 10 minutes)
Now that you know how to use the Brute Chieftain in Halo Wars, you can dominate the battlefield with fierce strength, advanced technology, and crushing humiliation. Be brutal.
Well, I know it wasn't much, but hopefully this tiny dose of insane strategy coolness can hold you over until next weeks GAME POW. So then, everyone comment on what you've read. Tell me what I'm doing right and wrong. Tell me what you want to see in the column. Next time I'm doing something new, anyone who leaves a good tip for the game I'm doing will get their comment and name in the next column. Maybe that will increase feedback, but until next time, POW!

Gino's Big Adventure: Building a Personal Studio, Part 10
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 8 | Part 9
Commence Tweaking
Balancing sound and functionalityâthat's the trick when you build a personal studio. In my case, the room needs to be an inspiring place to rehearse, record, and compose, as well as serve as a comfortable place to write and hang out (hence, the windows, because I like natural light).
Windows take a bit more work than walls when it comes to sound isolation, but we overcame that hurdle. Now, I can watch the neighbor mow his law from my one-story perch and just barely hear the low-end sounds of the motor. It's well below the ambient noise level for recording, and that makes me very happy. more

Malin Akerman's 'Watchmen' Costume Smelled 'Like a Condom'
Apparently, Watchmen character Silk Spectre II's powers include a super sense of smell.
Or, at least, her costume is super-smelly.
Malin Akerman, the 30-year-old, Swedish-born actress who portrays the heroine in the new Watchmen film adaptation, complains to Maxim magazine that her skintight rubber costume gave off a very objectionable—and very specific—aroma.
"I thought it was really f*cking hot (at first)," Akerman says of the yellow-and-black number. "Then I tried it on, and I thought it was really f*cking uncomfortable. And the smell? When you take it off, it smells like a human condom."
Also, huh? Human condom? Is there some other type of condom that Akerman is familiar with?
Never mind; we don't want to know...

I know I posted this in the comments for the other entry, but it makes me giggle, so I'm throwing it up here, too. From Filmdrunk.com:
Something tells me the movie will be more like the wrath of suck king, amirite? Haha, good one, Jay. Anyway, every video game movie so far has been tremendously sucky, but this time they've got an unquestionably huge-name game paired with an established, respected director. If this still ends up sucking, can we all agree that movies based on video games are a bad idea and stop attempting them forever? Haha, of course that'll never happen, now get off my lawn.
PS - Can you imagine a worse Comic-Con panel to be at than this one? "Excuse me, Mr. Raimi, but I think everyone here knows that although a skilled Warlock can counter a rogue with demonic circle or even shadowfury, trying to stop a feral druid on a berzerk is a fool's errand." (*thunderous applause*)
You do realize that the movie is going to be centered around the Warcraft universe (much the same way as the LotR movies), and not around World of Warcraft. This in itself lends to it not being a "video game" movie, and having it take on more of the lore aspect of the Warcraft universe, which would mean it is more of a "comic book" movie instead.
That being said, I believe that I read somewhere (though i cannot remember where or when, so I cannot provide links) that the movie will be based pre-WoW, and look forward to the possibility of new lore being introduced.
...I can see it now...300 style battles and with LotR style CG...
On a side note, I don't see Bruce Campbell playing Varian Wrynn...I would much rather see Bruce in a small cameo role as a rogue, and Ted Raimi as a warrior...hell, you could even name them Autolycus & Joxer.
impurezero said...
You do realize that I was just posting a funny quote from a movie blog's humor writer, right?
And are you seriously trying to incite a discussion on whether or not this can technically be called a "video game movie" based on which part of the relevent lore they plan to blah, blah, blah? Somehow, I think you proved his comic-con joke to be a frighteningly true portrait of the future...
impurezero said...
Sure he can. Let me know when he does.
traptinacivicsi said...
Hey, comic-con or not (never been to one so I dunno why this is related to just that and not the online forums which usually are filled with such discussion) if the director/writer(s) aren't VERY strict on details from the warcraft lore, each mistake will be spotted almost immediately.
For example, Dragonball: Evolution, Fox butchered that movies story so much that if you removed the names of the characters, it could have been an entirely different franchise/comic/show.
Almost every aspect of the series they got wrong ((no Krillen?? Piccolo has no antennae, isn't green, and looks like a demon/vampire?? Goku in HIGH SCHOOL!?!?)) and because of it it was a major flop, and pulled from theaters across the country after not even 2 weeks of showing, also they haven't even advertised the DVD release on TV yet, that I've seen listed in the local movie rental place as being there next Tuesday.
I know most movie producers go for the whole type of audience, but skimping on the whole plot and details you lose the 60 some percent of potential viewers, us.

This would have been much better than the original in Pokemon Black and White. You complete the entire game.

Asics x Sold Out – Colette & La MJC – Gel Lyte II
November 30th, 2008 by Aaron Hope | No comments
We just showed you the second chapter in Colette's love story with La MJC, and they're already dropping the third joint in this collaborative effort a week after number two. This time, it's a Gel Lyte II treated to a red, black and light blue combination that just screams "New Year!" Releasing with a matching scarf, these follow the same pattern as the other "Colette + La MJC = Sold Out" promotion: 100 total pairs, 12 each at Patta in Amsterdam and Solebox in Berlin, the rest to Colette's Parisian flagship store.

Never Death Grip a Mage that has not just Blinked. Never Death Grip a Hunter that has not just Disengaged.
In addition to making you immune to charm, sleep, and fear effects, Lichborne also makes you immune to polymorph. You cannot, however, use Lichborne to break a poly after the fact.
Don't wait for the Warlock or Priest to cast their Fear on you to hit Lichborne. Especially, don't wait for the Mage to sheep or root you before you hit your Anti-Magic Shell.
In the Arena, Hungering Cold is the greatest thing since the Acherus Deathpony and will win you matches if you save it for the right time. In Battlegrounds, Hungering Cold is next to useless because even if you CC the entire Horde team at once, it will be all broken before your next GCD.
