This great plugin has a small bug in custom js output
Javascript created using fancybox.php should end with ;
missing ; is creating problem for other java scripts
I really love this plugin, very good job... is perfect.
The best picture-box tool ever.
Looking forward to video-box implementation, based on fancybox tool!
muito bom
Spent couple of days analyzing all possible LightBox plugins, picked this one :)
This worked out of the box with all the browsers I tested, when others failed.
This is a great plugin! If you need a really clean, easy to use image lightbox plugin, this is the one to get! No need to add "rel" attributes to your image tags or anything like that. It does everything it needs, automatically. It just works straight out the box! Thanks!
Great job thank !
easy editing, reliable and very good

Some residents at a local apartment complex are saying an infestation of what they call "black mold" is making them sick.
Becky Carver and her two sons are looking for another place to live, because she feels the mold is a hazard to the family's health. She says she informed her landlord about the mold, but was not satisfied with the response she got.
The landlord of Riviera Apartments does say he offered to give Becky Carver the deposit back on the apartment.
We asked why more hadn't been done, since he says he had known about the problem for a month or a month and a half.
He says the maintenance crew did clean out the ventilation system with a mixture of soap and water and bleach, but he says the crew was asked to leave before they could finish the job. He also says maintenance was asked to leave several times when they tried to fix the mold problem, but Becky Carver says is absolutely untrue. She says maintenance and management were never asked to leave.
She says a friend of the family did ask maintenance not to just cover up the black places with new carpet until it was tested to see if it was indeed black mold.
But when we asked the landlord why he didn't have someone test the carpet for mold, he said he didn't know.

Causes of Mold Growth
- Mold is a musty-smelling fungi that feeds on organic materials and thrives in moist conditions.
- Outside air has so many mold spores in it that it is impossible to keep them from entering and growing in your home if you have high levels of humidity.
- Even short periods of high humidity or condensation can cause mold to grow and release spores with harmful toxins.
- Molds primarily thrive in environments with a relative humidity level above 70 percent and temperatures between 50 degrees and 90 degrees F.
- They also tend to be more robust in poorly ventilated areas with little air movement to disrupt their growth.
- Mold colonies emit spores and mycotoxins--a type of toxin. As molds grow, they also emit metabolic gases that contain airborne volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
- Mold spores are carried through your house by air currents. Consequently, the spores land on other objects inside your home.
- If humidity levels are high enough, they begin to grow, starting the cycle all over again.
- It is when the spores come in contact with your family that the mycotoxins can sometimes cause serious health consequences. The gases containing VOC emissions can also pose health risks for your family.
Types of Indoor Molds
- Penicillium:
- This mold has a dense, brush-like appearance with many different branches.
- Penicillium tends to emerge at sub-basement levels and rooms.
- It can grow in fairly dry conditions, categorizing it as a xerophilic type of fungi.
- In addition to the toxins held by the mold spores, the actual penicillium growths also contain toxins.
- These growths can be found almost anywhere, increasing the threat of this mold in your home.
- Aspergillus:
- This mold can be seen in several different colors, depending on the species.
- Aspergillus can withstand conditions of low moisture and therefore can be categorized as a
xerophilic fungi.
- It can be a very toxic mold due to the carcinogens they produce, called Aflatoxins.
- These toxins can be especially toxic to the liver, brain, kidneys, and heart.
- Stachybotrys:
- This mold has a 'slimy' head and is greenish-black in color.
- Stachybotrys can grow on completely saturated surfaces due to its low nitrogen requirements.
- It has a high moisture requirement and a broad temperature range.
- This high moisture requirement categorizes it as a hydrophilic type of fungi.
- Recently, this mold has been linked to cases of infant respiratory bleeding and several infant deaths in the Cleveland area and across the United States.
Protect Yourself From Mold
- Monitor the Indoor Air Temperature in Your Home.
- Monitoring the indoor air temperature is a good way to inhibit mold growth, although it will not completely eliminate it.
- By keeping air temperatures around 68 degrees F you can help to inhibit mold growth in your home.
- Monitoring the indoor air temperature is a good way to inhibit mold growth, although it will not completely eliminate it.
- Keep Your Home Well Ventilated with Adequate Circulation.
- Keeping your home well-ventilated will also inhibit mold growth, but won't eliminate it.
- Indoor areas should always be well ventilated and space for circulation should be allowed behind furniture and storage units.
- Most homes require approximately 0.2 to 0.3 air changes per hour.
- Keeping your home well-ventilated will also inhibit mold growth, but won't eliminate it.
- Monitor the Relative Humidity Levels in Your Home.
- Keeping the relative humidity levels low is the only way to actually eliminate mold growth in your home.
- For this reason, it is the most important rule for you to follow in order to keep your home safe from mold growths.
- Mold growth can be reduced or eliminated by maintaining relative humidity levels below 50 percent.
- In order to keep the relative humidity in your home within this range, a high quality dehumidifier which will constantly monitor the relative humidity, drying the air only when necessary, should be used.
- Keeping the relative humidity levels low is the only way to actually eliminate mold growth in your home.

SEOUL, March 31 (Yonhap) -- Samsung Electronics Co.'s smartphone brand "Galaxy" was again rated as South Korea's most valuable brand in the first quarter of the year, a survey said Sunday.
Samsung's Galaxy earned 938 points in the survey by local research firm, Brandstock, retaining the top spot for the second consecutive year.
Discount store chain Emart followed with 924 points, according to the survey, which didn't provide other details, including how much those brands were worth.
Last year, Samsung sold more than 40 million units of its Galaxy smartphones worldwide, outstripping Nokia as the world's biggest smartphone maker.
Samsung controlled 30.4 percent of the global smartphone market last year, surpassing now No. 2 player Apple's 19.4 percent, according to the data by Strategy Analytics. Earlier this month, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S4 smartphone, which features a 5-inch full HD Super AMOLED display.

Jay-Z will be the first artist to share vocals on a song with Sade, on a new remix of her song "The Moon and The Sky", from The Ultimate Collection, due May 3rd. Sade had previously turned both Jay-Z and Drake down for collaborations, suggesting that hip-hop music just wasn't her style.
"I've never collaborated because I've always avoided working outside my safety zone — I can be exactly who I am and can fail or success within the moment," Sade said in a statement. "I feel safe working like I do. I wouldn't want to work in a situation where I am expected to deliver because I think I wouldn't deliver."
If anyone was gonna get Sade to do a collaboration it was gonna be Hov… Jay has transcended from emcee to mogul… All respect to Jay-Z I'm a huge fan of his early work but haven't really enjoyed an album since the Black Album… Watered down lyrics and flows… Gimme Jigga back or stick to the boardroom at this point… Have a feeling this song is going to be a big yawn…
The track came out and Dayz hit it on the head, you predicted the future! The track did not live up to hype.

About 500 hospital patients are being offered blood tests after a health care worker was found to be infected with HIV, the virus that can lead to Aids, an NHS Trust said.
All patients who have been identified as being "potentially at risk" have received a letter from the Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust with details of a dedicated advice line.
In a statement, Dr John Dyet, medical director of the Trust, said the situation was "regrettable", but added that the risk of infection was "very low". Dr Dyet said: "This is a regrettable situation and we recognise that patients may be anxious about this news.
"However they should be reassured that all the research evidence shows the risk of infection is very low. Following the latest Department of Health guidelines, published just six months ago, we have decided to take all precautionary steps possible.
"We want to do all we can to give patients reassurance and peace of mind."
Patients who have been contacted by the Trust were being offered advice, counselling and blood tests. The Trust was keen to stress that any patients who had not received a letter from them should be reassured that they were not at risk.
Dr Dyet said: "Our number one priority is to ensure we safeguard the health of our patients and the course of action we are taking reflects this. While the risk of transmission from a health care worker to a patient is very small, and there are no reported cases in the UK, we believe that patients have a right to know of the situation and offered the reassurance of a blood test.
"We would like to stress that all patients exposed to risk, however small, have been informed individually and others have no cause for concern."
A statement from the Trust confirmed that the health care worker concerned had "immediately ceased clinical duties".
The statement said: "On application to join the Trust, the health care worker underwent the full pre-employment medical for health care workers and was passed fit in accordance with latest national guidelines.
"All relevant medical records, totalling approximately 7,000 in Hull and East Yorkshire, have been closely checked to identify those who have had what are known as 'exposure prone procedures'.
"This has confirmed that the vast majority of patients were not treated by this health care worker."
A Trust spokeswoman said no further details of the health care worker could be released.
Any patients who have not received a letter from the Trust but who may have concerns should contact NHS Direct, the 24-hour nurse-led confidential advice line, on 0845 4647.

THIS outstanding Louise Rayner (1832-1924) watercolour, depicting the Butter Market at Ludlow, Shropshire, posted a new house record for Louis Taylor of Stoke-on-Trent at their latest sale.
Rayner, famous for capturing in meticulous detail the old-world character of British towns and cities, lived for many years in Chester but spent her summers travelling. She is known to have been working in the Staffordshire and Shropshire area in 1865 when this 16 3/4 by 21in (42 x 53cm) work was probably painted.
Entered for the sale on December 7-8 by a local client who had received a probate valuation of £7000, it lured eight interested parties at its pre-sale estimate of £9000-£13,000.
One of the five telephone bidders, a private buyer from Oxfordshire, prevailed at £37,000, a sum that surpassed the £32,000 the auctioneers achieved for a rare limited edition Royal Doulton character jug of Stoke legend Stanley Matthews that sold for over £32,200 earlier this decade.
According to Artnet, £37,000 represents an auction record for Rayner, the previous high being The Old Houses - Head of West Bow, sold by Lyon & Turnbull in January 2006 as part of the Drambuie Collection for £35,000.
The buyer's premium was 17.5 per cent.

On March 14-15th
we have celebrated our 2012 Exadata Partner Community EMEA Forum, in Istanbul,
Turkey. It has been an intense two days, packed with great content and a lot of
networking. Organizing it jointly with the Manageability Partner Forum has
allowed participants to benefit from the content of the Manageability sessions,
which is a topic that is becoming key as we move to cloud architectures.
During the sessions we have listened to two thought-leaders in our industry, Ron Tolido, from Capgemni, and Julian Dontcheff, from Accenture. We thank our Exadata partners -ISE (Germany), Inserve (Sweden), Fors (Russia), Linkplus (Turkey) and Sogeti, for sharing with the community their experiences in selling and implementing Exadata and Manageability projects.
The slide decks used in the presentations are now available for download at the Exadata Partner Community Collaborative Workspace (for community members only - if you get an error message, please register for the Community first).
I want to thank all who have participated at the event, and look forward to meeting again at next year's Forum.

This is a terrific little table, perfect for a small space. I bought this for my parents, who had to move into an assisted living facility and had very little kitchen area. It was easy to put together, is sturdy, and looks like a higher quality, richer wood than the price would suggest. We're happy with it.
I ordered this for my dining area which is small. I bought two high back chairs from Pier One and this table matches them perfectly. It looks beautiful! I'm very happy with the quality for the price and it was easy to assemble. Also I had shopped around prior and was unable to find a table this size in any store. They were all to big or to small. Thanks again Overstock!!!
I bought this table to go with two of the wedge back chairs offered by Overstock. I needed a small table for two. This one is perfect. The craftsmanship is great. Assembly was a piece of cake. And once assembled - you get a sense of the sturdiness of the construction. And the styling is nice and refined - allowing ti to go with any decor. Highly recommended.
I have been looking for the perfect table for a while . I was surfing the web and came across an overstock ad and saw this table. This table was exactly what I wanted. The color is perfect and it matched the parson chairs that I recently bought from another store.It was very easy to assemble. (10 mins top) I reccomend this for anyone who has a small space.
I am using this table as a "work table" in a very small office. It works well for one-on-one conferences, it looks nice and is very stable. I like the square shape and the color, both adding a bit of "flair" to an otherwise boring space.
I have a small kitchen but love to have a place to sit and have coffee or breakfast -- this table is the greatest. Well-made, solid wood, looks expensive. It is fabulous!!. I paired it with red upholstered chairs, and I have gotten so many compliments. A great buy!!! Love it!!!!
My table has a few physical flaws: A couple of half-inch blemishes in the finish on the legs, and a small 1-inch crack in the finish on the top of the table. It also came with some brackets that seem meant to help tighten a slight gap between the table surface and the square frame beneath it - the brackets didn't work, because the screws won't drive all the way into the wood, even with an electric drill. I assume they were thrown in as an afterthought to fix the gap problem, but they're effectively useless. Without them, the gap is only about a millimeter, and not noticeable enough to be a real concern. All this being said, I'm keeping the table as is. It will do for a discount-priced, slightly imperfect table in my studio apartment.
This table is great for small spaces. I have a "dining room" practically the size of a bathroom and have been looking for the perfect table for months. This table would look awkward in a large room but looks great in an apartment and would also look great in a kitchen. It was very easy to put together, about 20 minutes total. I have not bought chairs yet but for now placed some folding chairs with it, and they don't even look that bad. Some very elegant chairs could make this table look superb!
I like the fact I could use a pay-pal as a payment option. Color matches my chairs perfectly. Size is exact for my small DC apt. Table looks just like describer and pictured on this web side. Shipping was surprisingly fast and free :-). Assembling was very easy, every piece fits perfectly together. It is sleek, sturdy, elegant and pretty to look at. Just great for 1-2 people. Thank you very much. Will recommend and buy from Overstock again. This was my first time by the way.Happy holidays.
I love this table! It has a beautiful finish that compliments many other wood tones. It is very easy to assemble and shipped in excellent condition. I, however, do not use it as an eating surface. I cut 4 inches off the legs and use it as a side table. It works really well and looks fabulous!
Classic look. Goes well with any decor. Sturdy - can even lean on it to get up from the chair - my Mom does that. Easy for me to put together - and I am not a do-it-yourself type of person.
Very pleased with purchase. We just downsized and this table is great for 2 people in our small kitchen. Have received many compliments on it.
This is a great little table for a small space. It is small, so be careful to measure what you need before it arrives or you might be disappointed at the size. But it's very pretty, easy to put together and is solid! ... I had a problem with delivery, but Overstock handled it quickly and perfectly, and I have a great little table for my small dining area!
I live in a tiny apartment in new york city and this table is just the right size to fill in that little nook I call a breakfast area. Looks good and easily assembled. Not bad for the price.
Bought this table for a small breakfast area at my vacation home in florida. It was easy to put together and looks greats.
Very strong table. Needed for small dinning area and this worked out great. I only have 2 dinning chairs around it , but I would say 4 chairs would be pushing it unless the chairs were smaller. quick set up was also very nice.
Table is perfect and I put it together in 15 minutes. It came very nicely wrapped to ensure no damage in the delivery. I am very happy
Another product that is much smaller than I anticipated (once again my ability to picture the size based on the provided dimensions was lacking). Fortunately, I purchased 2 tables and am able to use them side by side. Had I purchased one for a breakfast table, I would have given it a 2, but I use them in an office for a work room table and they serve the purpose quite well.
Simply wonderful! If you are looking for a small, yet big enough, table for 2 - this s the best thing you can get. You cannot bit this combination of high quality and such a cheap price. Very sturdy, the finish of the wood is so pleasant, smooth and pretty. I just love it.
We downsized and I needed a small table to replace our larger dining table, after searching forever I found this table on Overstock and it was out of stock. Signed up for email to notify me when in stock and they did. I came immediately and ordered it. Reading the reviews made the decision to go for it. I am so glad I did. It was delivered very fast and in great condition. Very easy to put together and solid built. Matches our existing chairs perfectly and the color is as advertised. I would recommend this to everyone and am especially impressed with Overstocks service. My first order with this company and will NOT be my last!! Thank You!!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The color was exactly as shown
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very well built and sturdy.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very accurate

David Bain is anguished by the prospect of returning to court
to pursue a High Court claim against Justice Minister Judith
Collins, his long-term advocate Joe Karam says.
Mr Karam yesterday confirmed Mr Bain had filed a claim in the
High Court at Auckland seeking a judicial review of the
actions of the Justice Minister.
The claim concerns her actions after she received the report
from former Canadian Justice Ian Binnie, who found that on
the balance of probabilities Mr Bain was innocent, and the
process behind the report from Robert Fisher QC.
The minister released Justice Binnie's report and Dr Fisher's
peer review last month, which concluded the Binnie report was
fundamentally flawed. Mr Bain's claim includes allegations
the minister breached his right to natural justice, breached
his rights under he New Zealand Bill of Rights Act (1990),
acted in bad faith, abused her power, and acted in a biased,
unreasonable and predetermined manner.
In a statement, Ms Collins said Mr Bain's application fell
outside Cabinet guidelines and was at the discretion of
''I have taken steps to ensure the process is fair and proper
''Put simply, it would be unacceptable for Cabinet to base
its decision for compensation on an unsafe and flawed report.
That would not have resulted in justice for anyone, let alone
Mr Bain.
''Mr Bain has requested the Government put his application
for compensation on hold. This will result in further delay.
I am considering his request.''
She declined to comment further as the matter was before the
Mr Karam said last night the only person disadvantaged by a
delay in the compensation decision was Mr Bain, who had no
confidence his claim was being assessed in a fair manner.
''The reason he is being disadvantaged is because he is being
excluded from the process for the last six months. How could
justice have been better served by having David Bain
excluded?''Communication between the minister and the Bain
legal team was ''non-existent'', Mr Karam said.
''What we know about the process we only find out through
media releases. We have been completely sidelined, so how can
you have confidence in that process?''He said most civil
actions ended out of court. It was a ''last resort'' for Mr
Bain's team, and had anguished Mr Bain.
''He entered into this process in good faith and thought it
would be ended when Justice Binnie's report was filed and he
has had enough of courts, claims and inquiries and everything
else and just wants to get on with his life.''
Mr Bain had ''no hope'' of paying his legal team, which also
anguished him, he said.
His legal team had worked on a pro bono basis, but if the
hours had been charged since the application for compensation
was lodged in early 2010, the fee would be about $400,000.
''If the [judicial review application] goes all the way to
the Supreme Court, it will be another $400,000,'' Mr Karam
''He just wants an end to it, and can't understand why the
Government doesn't want an end to it.''
Mr Bain was convicted in 1995 of murdering his family and
spent 13 years in jail before being acquitted in a 2009
retrial. The retrial came after the Privy Council in 2007
quashed his conviction after finding there had been a
substantial miscarriage of justice. An application for
compensation for wrongful conviction from Mr Bain was
received by former justice minister Simon Power in March

This is my idea:
we are Edward ( o whatever you name it), i don´t have the country of this adventures but for the story, it,s the same what it is. The main line of the story is that we want to become the greates pokemon trainer in the world, but to do so, we need to fight a lot of trainer to gain experience and guess what??? Ash, Misty, Brock, Gary, Silver, Gold, May, Brendan, even Dawn and Lucas are our rivals in this story (even Giovanni has and aparicion). Forget save the world (maybe little sidequests only with the pokegangs: rocket, magma, aqua and, perhaps, galactic), forget the poor 8 gyms and the elite 4, we are gonna fight all the gym leaders, all the game characters, all the anime principal characters (as ritchie) and, most important of all, we are gonna battle the entire elite four, from agatha, bruno, loreli and lance to aaron, bertha, flint, lucian and cynhia. We have all, we fight all and we are the next pokemon master.
I don´t want a new country, just the old ones wherever it´s chose, neither fakemons, only the 4gen pokemon that make the trainers be logical, and believe, each one of the trainers pokemon team are great (i have almost done with the teams).
I need more ideas for the hack, i´m a begginer-almost middle hacker so maybe changes and scripts aren´t big deal but we need the sidequest with the gangs (but i don´t want to finish with they and send to the jail, they still be existing in the whole game); events for almost every trainer ( i´m crazy, i have planned aprox. 75-80 principal characters, each one with is personality and unique dialogs, hopefully not so bored).
I´m open to new ideas and suggestions, and i hope you likethis idea and support me with more and more ideas.

The N75 EYF is safer in rough weather when sea conditions force a slower running speed, which is always a major downside to the typical small rudders found on sportfishers (the N75 EYF's standard stabilizers also promise a comfortable ride in rough seas). Additionally, the EYF's 22 -foot four-inch beam permits a new Nordhavn standard feature: twin engines. A single screw is not an option. The N75 EYF sports Detroit Series 60 diesels and a cruising-speed fuel burn of 12 to 15 gallons per hour - a trickle compared to a typical sportfisher built for nothing but speed with noisy behemoth diesels guzzling 100 to 200 gallons or more per hour. Why not trade expensive high speed for high efficiency, quiet comfort, four-star luxury and the ability to explore the world's premier fishing spots at your own pace?
Another heavy advantage over typical sportfishers is there is no weight penalty for all the equipment and furnishings that make life grand. Dive equipment, jetskis, granite countertops, you name it - the N75 EYF's full displacement hull allows you to load up with everything you need for fishing adventures that last for months, not hours.

History between War Memorial, Art Museum disrupts overhaul
On the way toward reshaping the more than half-century relationship between the War Memorial Center and the Milwaukee Art Museum, old history and simmering resentments are threatening to disrupt a planned $25 million overhaul of the iconic lakefront temple that's home to the museum and local veterans groups.
Revenue from a parking lot and who controls land on the north side of the center have become the final battleground in a dispute that has its roots in a 1997 amendment to the long-term lease the War Memorial Center has with the county on the building. A 2001 revision to the '97 pact was intended to put the dispute to rest. »Read Full Article(34)

Journal of Risk Model Validation
ISSN: 1753-9579 (print)
1753-9587 (online)
Editor-in-chief: Steve Satchell
About this journal
As monetary institutions rely greatly on economic and financial models for a wide array of applications, model validation has become progressively inventive within the field of risk. The Journal of Risk Model Validation focuses on the implementation and validation of risk models, and aims to provide a greater understanding of key issues including the empirical evaluation of existing models, pitfalls in model validation and the development of new methods. We also publish papers on back-testing. Our main field of application is in credit risk modelling but we are happy to consider any issues of risk model validation for any financial asset class.
The Journal of Risk Model Validation considers submissions in the form of research papers on the following, but not limited to, topics:
- Empirical model evaluation studies
- Backtesting studies
- Stress-testing studies
- New methods of model validation/backtesting/stress-testing
- Best practices in model development, deployment, production and maintenance
- Pitfalls in model validation techniques (all types of risk, forecasting, pricing and rating)

Should Undocumented Immigrant Youth Pay In-State Tuition to Attend College?
Undocumented children are entitled to free primary and secondary public education everywhere in the United States, regardless of their legal status. But when they finish high school, their options for college vary depending on the state in which they live.

With Child Migrants Set to Become Students, Educators Must Prepare
Between 70,000 and 90,000 unaccompanied children are expected to cross the U.S.-Mexico border by year's end. Lost in an intensifying debate over U.S. immigration policy is the possibility that this wave will spill from shelters to schools. To best respond to this reality, policymakers and educators should consider what research says about educating migrant children.

Hi all,
Couldn't find a way to make a field invisible to users. I mean not to make a field hidden but to avoid to even render to the HTML page.
I'm creating a survey-like form where users can send some data back to us and I would like to have a dropdown field called "State" that is available to admins only and represents the lifecycle of the survey, such as: Initial, Registered, Processed, Closed.
Is it possible to create such field using CCF?
Thanks a lot!

Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
Earth's landmarks are featured prominently in the posters for "Independence Day: Resurgence," the sequel to the 1996 blockbuster, with an enormous alien ship destroying Big Ben, the Eiffel Tower and more. But in Japan, the Statue of Liberty has been replaced by the Unicorn Gundam, which clearly has had enough of this extraterrestrial menace.
Alas, there's no Gundam in "Independence Day." Instead, it's merely a co-promotion in the build-up to the film's July 9 premiere in Japan.
Forget the lights, the tree and even the snow — it doesn't truly feel like the holidays until you've illuminated your 59-foot Gundam.
Gundam Front Tokyo in the city's Odaiba section has welcomed the winter season with a new projection mapping presentation that gives the massive life-size RX-78-2 Gundam a dazzling light-filled makeover.
In a sure sign that the future is indeed now, the second round of applications has opened for the Gundam Global Challenge, a project dedicated to creating a life-size walking RX-78-2 Gundam replica by 2019.
Yes, you read that correctly: a 59-foot walking Gundam, within four years. That's not just some random date, either; it's the 40th anniversary of the Mobile Suit Gundam television series.
We've already seen the Gundam-inspired Zeonic Toyota, but there's another, even cooler vehicle that takes its cues from Char Aznable. Well, as cool as a minivan can be, at least.
It's a custom Nissan Elgrand displayed earlier this month at an auto show in Osaka, Japan. Dubbed the Char's MS-06S Zaku (at least I think), the red-and-black van appears ready for battle, or maybe that trip to the grocery store.
Clearly a serious devotee of the Gundam series and a serious cosplayer, Japanese Twitter user Punival has taken both to the next level with this thoroughly impressive RX-78 Mobile Suit costume.
While that alone is enough to make the Earth Federation proud, Punival went even further, donning the custom suit for photographs in front of the nearly 60-foot Gundam statue at Gundam Front Tokyo in Odaiba.
If anything good came out of the Star Wars prequels (and we're not entirely convinced anything did), it's that R2-D2 was at last able to expand his repertoire beyond shocking Jawas, extinguishing fires and delivering sass in beeps and whirls. This little astromech droid could finally fly. Unfortunately (ahem), though, we never saw him transform into the bipedal, Stormtrooper-smashing droid of vengeance that you know, deep down, he yearns to be.
But Italian modeler Lemcat has given us just that with "Hi2-D2: Enhanced astromech droid," which began life as a Gundam model kit. Now, however, it's the bane of the Empire, equipped with a buzz saw that looked kind of cute on a little R2 unit. On this roided-out droid, though? Kind of menacing.
Because simply selling a Gundam-inspired car wasn't cool enough, Toyota Japan has debuted a new animated commercial for the Zeonic Toyota.
Based on the franchise character Char Aznable, the customized Auris RS was introduced in 2012 as a concept car before being placed into production the following year. You'll note the special edition's Gundam accents, like the zeon insignia and stenciled lettering. Red-and-gold uniform is, presumably, sold separately.
After more than three decades, Gundam shows little signs of slowing down. Amid the international celebration of the model kit's 35th anniversary, Bandai is debuting a combination cafe and store devoted to Gundam in Suita, Japan.
Opening Nov. 19, the 3,860-square-foot Gundam Square will feature a Gundam-themed menu, which includes "Char Zaku Curry," a substantial shop stocked with merchandise, and exhibition space.
Famed for his work as a mecha designer for the Gundam franchise, Kunio Okawara isn't about to keep his creations confined to anime.
The 68-year-old artist has collaborated with EX・Machina Corporation to develop the Ex Machina, a two-seat electric concept car that can actually change its shape. According to AmiAmi, the vehicle is envisioned as "a rideable smartphone or portable information terminal."
The celebration of the 35th anniversary of the Gundam model kit is on the move — it is Mobile Suit Gundam, after all — returning to Hong Kong for the aptly named Gundam Docks at Hong Kong II.
While the showcase in Ngee Ann City, Singapore, featured towering 1/3-scale replicas of RX-78-2 Gundam and Char's Zaku, this visit boasts the RX-0 Gundam Unicorn (Destroy Mode) and Wing Gundam. The video below chronicles the transportation of both replicas, the assembly of the 23-and-a-half-foot Unicorn, and the impressive display of the Wing Gundam, which is suspended above the floor of the Time Square Shopping Center (presumably it weighs less than the two-ton statues displayed in Singapore).
You may be a die-hard Mobile Suit Gundam fan, but are you devoted — and wealthy — enough to pay $160,000 for a solid-gold statue of the iconic robot? OK, how about $5,200 for its silver counterpart.
Standing about 5 inches tall and weighing 35.3 ounces, the limited-edition figures were produced by Ginza Tanaka in collaboration with Bandai for "The Art of Gundam" exhibition, which continues through Sept. 27 in Tokyo. That's the same jeweler that created the solid-gold statues of Godzilla and Ghidorah last year in celebration of the King of the Monsters' 60th anniversary, and a platinum Gundam in 2007.
After countless defeats at the hands of his arch-nemesis over the past 75 years, The Joker finally discovers the secret to defeating the Batman: more firepower. Or does he?
In this amazing stop-motion short, created by counter656 over the course of 20 days using nearly 3,500 images, S.H. Figuarts versions of the Caped Crusader and the Clown Prince of Crime go at it, mano a mano, until the supervillain calls in the big guns — a trio of Gundams.
The decades-old battle Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon continues, at least through this weekend, as the RX-78-2 Gundam and Char's Zaku face off in Ngee Ann City, Singapore.
To celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Gundam model kit, Bandai Namco Asia and Takashimaya Department Store have staged "Gundam Docks at Singapore," a showcase of more than 200 models from the series. However, the centerpiece of the exhibit is undoubtedly the nearly 20-foot replicas of RX-78-2 Gundam and Char's Zaku displayed in the plaza.
If it's Saturday, it's gotta be SHELF PORN! Today's collection comes from Irvine, California, where Darrin's shelves are stacked with everything from graphic novels to Gundam.
"I love Gundam, Macross and Legos," Darrin said. "Been collecting for nearly 20 years, and this is what I show for it. I have a very patient wife! I am also a huge fan of collectible figures of my favorite anime and DC/Marvel Superheroes. And here are some (and this is only some) of my collection."
Check out his pictures below.
By and large, people outside Japan can't fully understand how big Mobile Suit Gundam is. In some ways, it's a cultural equivalent to American superheroes — and now one artist has melded the two.
Aburaya Tonbi created renditions of Marvel's Avengers (including Spider-Man) in the style of Mobile Suit Gundam, albeit in a chibi style. Robot versions of Avengers have been made before — even ones loosely inspired by Gundam — but Campbell's renditions hit at authenticity, while also being cute.

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Bill White is releasing his tax returns for the years he served as Houston mayor.
Republican Gov. Rick Perry has been pounding White for weeks for
not giving more detail about his income and business relationships.
The returns released Tuesday show White made more than $1 million a
year during his tenure as mayor of the state's largest city, from
White reported $4.6 million in adjusted gross income in
2005, the highest earnings in the six-year period. His lowest income came in 2009, when White reported $660,000 in income.
White has acknowledged that he made money off one of the private companies he had enlisted for help during Hurricane Rita. The revelation comes as White, the Democratic candidate for Texas governor, released tax returns dating back to 2004, when he took the reins at Houston City Hall.

BIRDSBORO Ś Though she played third base last season for the Daniel Boone softball team, Mikaela Ballmer is most comfortable putting on the catching gear.
Thatĺs what sheĺll be doing in the future as a member of the Franklin Pierce University squad.
Ballmer signed a letter-of-intent Wednesday to accept a scholarship to attend Franklin Pierce, located in Rindge, N.H., and play softball for the Division II Ravens.
ôI really liked the team when I made my official visit,ö Ballmer said. ôIt reminded me of the Boone team here. One team. One family. And we had so much fun.ö
Franklin Pierce went 7-23 in the Northeast 10 Conference and 9-30 last year under rookie coach Christine Grenache.
Grenache and her staff took notice of Ballmer through a skills video she sent out, and saw her play for her Delco Diamonds travel team out of West Chester.
Ballmer took her first visit to Franklin Pierce in August before the students returned, then stayed for an official visit last month that wound up selling her on the school.
ôI liked it because (the campus) was small and out in the woods,ö said Ballmer, whose other top choices were Kutztown and Houghton (N.Y.). ôThe coach is young, and sheĺs rebooting the program. It seems like itĺs really going to work out. I like how she ran practice. I think itĺs a good fit.ö
Ballmer hit fifth in the lineup and showed a strong arm at third base in helping the Blazers bring home their first Berks Conference championship since 2005 last season.
She went 3-for-4 with a triple and two runs in a key league victory over division rival Twin Valley, and she had a sacrifice fly in a 3-0 title-game victory over Brandywine Heights.
Ballmer, who caught for her travel team, is looking forward to getting back behind the plate.
ôThey recruited me as a catcher,ö she said. ôThatĺs probably my best position. Iĺve played it since I was eight.ö
A member of the Daniel Boone Youth Education Association and schoolĺs Interact Club, Ballmer plans to major in graphic communications.
Her parents, Randy and Pam, can now make plenty of plans to travel the Northeast, since Ballmerĺs other brother, Aaron, is currently a sophomore pitcher at St. Bonaventure University in New York.
ôI just want to keep working very hard to get to the level where I can start,ö said Ballmer, who credited work with batting coach Jon Walton at Diamond Dreams Academy in Collegeville as integral in her development. ôThey (the Ravens staff) told me I would have as good an opportunity as anyone has. If youĺre a freshman and doing better than a senior, youĺre going to play. Thatĺs what Iĺm trying to work for.ö

cowbell is on the ark level...so you picked up a different skull instead.
Posted 02 October 2007 - 07:42 AM
your wright, thank you. that cleares it all up
Posted 03 October 2007 - 07:27 AM
I've never looked for any of the skulls, not even in Halo 2, so do you have to grab a skull and finish the level with it? Or can you pick it up and just quit? Or do you have to pick it up, reach a checkpoint, then quit?
I'm in need of clarification. I think I'm gonna get all the skulls tomorrow... depends if I have time or not.

Hey all,
I wrote my first plugin, and it's called Auto Links. It is based on Kidder's Link Definer plugin, but has more functionality.
Auto Links turns keywords in your post for popular websites into links automatically for you. So if you use Yahoo in a post, Auto Links makes a link of it. Unlike the original Link Definer plugin, Auto Links will only do this once for each keyword. It would be over kill to turn every reference to Yahoo in your post into a link.
Also this plugin lets you put a graphic next to each link. You can use the one that comes with Auto Links or use your own, or turn it off altogether. You can also control which window the
link will open in, be it the parent window or blank window, or whatever you want.
You can get it here:
It's still in beta, but so far it seems to be working well. I need to make a admin panel for it, I know that. But any other feedback would be great!

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, Random Farms is pleased to offer need-based full and half scholarships for most of our programs. To apply for a scholarship, please read the instructions below and click on the correct application link. Please keep in mind that our Scholarship Fund is limited and we may not be able to grant scholarships to everyone who applies.
Mainstage and Edge: Scholarship applications for audition-based programs must be submitted before auditions.
Workshop and Jellybeans: Scholarship applications must be submitted at least one week before registering for the program. We will continue to accept scholarship applications until the program is full, however, these programs tend to fill very quickly. We strongly recommend submitting your scholarship application one week before registration opens.
Summer Workshop Intensives and Summer Jellybeans: Scholarship applications must be submitted before registering for the program and will be accepted up to one week before each program's start date.
Scholarships for all other programs: CLICK HERE TO APPLY
You will be contacted by email if your child is selected as a scholarship recipient. Scholarships and payment plans are not given retroactively. To request a payment plan, please click here.
Need-based full and half scholarship are available. You will be notified by email about the status of your application.
Please make sure you read our Standard Agreement, found on our website and also at the end of the registration process (waiver section). When you register, you will use a credit card to pay a nominal processing fee, any balance if you do not receive a full scholarship, and any other program-related costs (i.e. security deposit, optional show t-shirt, etc.).
If your child is not able to complete the program for any reason, your card will be charged for the full amount of the scholarship. This protects the theater from granting scholarships to children who drop out of the program. It is costly and time consuming for the theater to give a scholarship. When a scholarship is granted, it means that the theater will be paying for the child's costume and training, as well as forgoing a full registration from someone else. It also means that another child will not receive the same opportunity, since a limited number of scholarships are available for each show.
The Scholarship Program is a Community Outreach initiative of the Random Farms Kids' Theater.

Simulations of field emission of electrons from a custom built electron gun are used to determine the effect that offsets in alignment of the cathode to the grid and the cathode to grid gap have on the trajectories of electrons transmitted through the grid. The simulations are a first step towards understanding how to optimize the electron gun and determine the magnitude of optical aberrations that limit focusing of the emitted electron beam. A finite element method is employed to simulate field emission from the cathode, an array of carbon nanotube pillars. This is done using a three dimensional model that attempts to account for field enhancement due to both the pillar geometry and individual carbon nanotubes. Qualitative comparisons of the configurations tested indicate larger transmissivity through the grid can be achieved by offsetting the pillar array but only at the expense of a skewed elevation angle distribution.

Leaner: RPath Linux 2
RPath has released version 2 of its Linux distribution which is mainly designed for producing customized software appliances.
The kernel (version 18.104.22.168) is about one third smaller than its predecessor, and the base system is just half the size. This is very much in line with the manufacturer's strategy, and one that both Ubuntu and Suse follow with operating system variants under the motto of "Just enough Operating System (JeOS)": The Linux distribution becomes a basic platform on which software vendors can distribute bootable live or appliance versions of their applications. Examples of appliances based on Rpath include Sugar CRM, the Joomla CMS, and Mediawiki.
RPath uses its own Conary package management system, with Syslinux providing a boot loader. A graphical boot splash is displayed when you fire up the system; the splash can easily be modified to reflect your own needs. Software vendors interested in doing so can call in the RBuilder online service to have appliances built for them.
The image files for the current Rpath version 2 are also available on the Rbuilder system here and include virtual system images in Vmware format as well as installable ISOs.
