Gothstrike - City of Heroes by GothenemWatch
©2012-2016 Gothenem
Sadly I never got a chance to play it. My old computer couldn't handle it and the day I got my new one was the day I found out it was going to shut down.
That is sad I loved that game dearly, and many of my OC's started in City of Heroes (though not all of them).
I guess there's still champions Online.
Mm, I only ever made one character and got into the newbie area with her in CoH, the system just seemed unintuitive on a number of levels... still sad to see it go though.

This definitely isn't a recipe for kids only!
I was in high-need of a Orange cake recipe that didn't ask for butter, as it was a Sunday and I craved cake to no end despite not having butter in the fridge. So this recipe was a true life-saver.
I used a mixer,halved the sugar and added some Vanilla aroma orange zest.
My boyfriend exclaimed immediately that this was the best tasting cake I had ever made.
Highly recommended to people who might be in the same situation as I was ;)
When I asked my son (6 years old) if he wanted to do a cake with me, he was so happy. He was happy to shake the bowl. The cake is so moist and airy. And the taste of orange is wonderful. The only thing I would change, is to reduce the sugar to 1/4 cup. Because me and DH find it just a little bit too sweet. But it's still yummy. Thanks Chef Flower :) Made for the Australian recipe swap for February 2012
Quick, tasty cake recipe. Nice light texture and subtle orange flavor. I would leave the salt out next time. Thank for sharing the recipe.

Talk:Unnamed stars
Back to page
this wiki
From Talk:Hobus Edit
Name origin Edit
I don't recall the star being identified as Hobus. I'm sure Spock Prime only mentioned "a star". -- Michael Warren | Talk 18:04, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
- Romulan sun would seem to be more specific, as the meld montage suggested. --Alan 18:07, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
- It's named in the graphic novel Star Trek: Countdown. Also, the star would not have been the Romulan sun since Spock states that it went nova and then he offered to help the Romulans. Had the star in question been the Romulan star, it would have destroyed Romulus before Spock could have offered aid. In the graphic novel it is explained that the Hobus star is an unusual nova which keeps expanding and threatens the entire galaxy which is why Spock had to create the singularity to stop it. A normal nova would not have required anything to stop it as it would stop itself naturally. IndyK1ng 02:12, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
- The question is whether the name "Hobus" comes from production staff working on the film or from the writers of Star Trek: Countdown. Per the Memory Alpha canon policy, we can use the name "Hobus" if it was used in production or reference material, but if it was made up for the (non-canon, by our rules) comic, then we can't. —Josiah Rowe 02:42, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
- I could be wrong, but if I recall correctly the graphic novel expanded on information provided in production material. I would think that the name Hobus would come from this material since almost everything else from the graphic novel which was revealed in the film coincided with the graphic novel. The only things which appeared different were if Spock's ship had others aboard and if Nero had attempted to help Spock stop the nova. The origins of the ship appear to line up with some details in the graphic novel. IndyK1ng 02:57, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
- It may be worth noting that Countdown was written by Tim Jones & Mike Johnson, who apparently had some collaboration with Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci, I'm not commenting one way or the other as to whether that lends any legitimacy to the subject or not, I'm just bringing it up. Either way, for the depiction of the events surrounding the Hobus star's explosion to make any sense at all then some aspect of subspace would have to somehow be involved, otherwise the explosion would take years just to reach another star system anyway and it's force probably wouldn't be all that great by then. Just thought food. Foravalon 17:54, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
- As is stated in countdown, it's a very special nova. Whether Countdown is canon or not still remains in question however. You're point makes sense if Countdown is not canon since the point I stated above about the Romulan star destroying Romulus too quickly for events to occur the way they did also makes sense. I'll be watching the movie again later today and will let you guys know if its named in the film or not. IndyK1ng 18:12, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
- For what it's worth, here's my theory. From the countdown comics we know it was Hobus, so I'm going to run with that until someone decides it is or isn't cannon. We know the Decalithium (or whatever it was they used to create red matter) was in the system. Under certain conditions red matter creates a black hole. What if the conditions of the nova created a different substance, that made a white hole? Now it's been a long time, but I remember reading an article that said white holes spew matter, where as black holes absorb it. Maybe a white hole fueled the supernova, making it go farther then anyone could ever imagine. As for speed, who knows. Another effect of the white hole perhaps? Anyway, we'll probably never know for sure. But it's fun to discuss. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.127.116.11 (talk).
- From a TrekMovie.com interview with Roberto Orci:
- TrekMovie: Well the bigger issue is more [Star Trek movie prequel comic] "Star Trek: Countdown" and whether or not that is considered canon. That is not a promotional thing, that is a.... thing thing. Your name, JJ's name is on it and Alex's name is on it. So canon or not canon?
- Roberto Orci: I don't think that is for me to decide. As you know I considered some of the books, in my mind, to be of character canon. And some of them in between the movies to possibly be even possible candidates for canon, until some other movie comes along and makes those impossible. That is my personal view, but I am not going to declare whether comics are canon.
- My vote is on keeping it as Hobus unless a future TV series or movie renames it.--WTRiker 18:50, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
- Is there a reason this needs to be stated twice on one page? --OuroborosCobra talk 21:01, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
- From a TrekMovie.com interview with Roberto Orci:
Countdown: a canon source? Edit
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but where is there question on whether "Countdown" is canon? As far as I understand it, there isn't any. I've seen no announcement from Paramount that they are canon, only from J.J. Abrams. Abrams doesn't decide what is canon for either Paramount or MA. Certainly our own policies are very clear on the subject. I don't see this as a "wait and see" situation, if the comics are the only source. --OuroborosCobra talk 07:04, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
- From what i understand it was supposed to be released along with the movie, and was written with information from the production staff. How close they are tied together, I really don't know. And of course I could be misinformed. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 126.96.36.199 (talk).
It doesn't matter if it was supposed to be released along with the movie, that doesn't make it stop being a comic. --OuroborosCobra talk 07:13, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
- And the encyclopedia is just a book released in close cooperation to Paramount and people working on the show, yet everything in there is considered cannon, even the names of ships and classes that were never named on screen. Most of those names are also on this site, the Freedom class is one example. Should we take those off cause it was just a book? – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 188.8.131.52 (talk).
- Comparing apples and oranges (or, in this case, a non-canon source vs. a production resource) won't help your case any. The reasons the stuff in the Encyclopedia is considered canon is because it all appeared on-screen and therefore is canon. For the record, not everything in the Encyclopedia is canon; sometimes the authors give speculation which can be added as background info but not as canon info. --From Andoria with Love 08:35, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
- So then calling the single necelled ship in BOBW Federation class is non-cannon, yet it appears on this site as cannon. My point is something that is released in cooperation to what is on screen, be it the encyclopedia or 'just a comic book' should at least be considered. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.127.116.11 (talk).
- If we can get a production resource which names the star as "Hobus", we can use that. We can't use the comic, though; there is currently no way of knowing whether that name was created by Orci & Kurtzman (which are considered production resources since the wrote/executive produced) or if it was created by the writers of the book, which means it is outside the production side and therefore cannot be used. If we can find some valid proof that Orci/Kurtzman called the star "Hobus" in the script, then we can have the page at "Hobus" or "Hobus star." --From Andoria with Love 08:51, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
- Well according to this: Star Trek: Countdown, Orci and Kurtzman were part of the writing staff for the comics. I really don't know if that means much, but it's a piece of information I offer for consideration. The article also says they haven't declared it cannon, but have no problem with it being cannon until something directly contradicts it on screen.--188.8.131.52 04:40, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
Many novels are written by people involved in making episodes and movies. Doesn't make them canon. Only one thing can, one thing only, Paramount saying they are. They haven't done so, they are non-canon. There isn't anything else to consider. --OuroborosCobra talk 04:48, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
- For the record, we have already considered whether or not to make the comics canon. It was a brief discussion, but everyone decided against it, as I recall. --From Andoria with Love 05:12, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
- I just came across the article in question, after having finished reading the Countdown comic miniseries. After reading the article and reading the points raised here, I re-read the MA Canon policy. From it, the following is very clear: the name Hobus is not canon and is therefore not acceptable here if the source of the name is the Countdown comic miniseries. However, it is not just the star's name being Hobus that is canonically questionable; the article's statement that "The star's eruptions days earlier not only obliterated surrounding planets but also converted the planets' mass into energy, increasing the star's power" comes from Issue 1 of the Countdown series. Correct me if I am wrong, but from what I see, the entire article is based on information from Countdown. I suggest giving it to Memory Beta. It is not acceptable here. – Crimsondawn hears you... 02:51, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
- I don't think the posters above were arguing that Countdown is canon-- they were arguing that Countdown, though a non-canon source, nevertheless reflects actual production information in relation to the Hobus star (or at least its name.)
- I took the "wait and see" comment not to mean "wait and see if Countdown is canon" (since that will not change) but rather "wait and see if the name crops up in other materials." If the name Hobus appears in the novelization, toy packaging bios etc... then it probably originated on the production side.
- Normally 'wait and see' is not consistent with policy, but because there is strong circumstantial evidence that the name did come from the production team (and every reason to believe the matter will be settled definitively in the near/mid-term future) it would be better to leave the article where it is (possibly with a caution note?) rather than move it to something vague like "Galaxy destroying Supernova" or possibly even misleading like "Romulan Supernova." (Which implies Romulus's sun.)
- (For my part, the fast-forward nature of the backstory-dump in the movie and the eye-crossingly insane nature of the "supernova" leads me to favor the idea that Countdown is probably reflecting canonical backstory which the movie simply cut.) -188.8.131.52 06:29, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
- Right now the name is not valid per our current policy. Orci+Kurtzman seem to be very helpful though, maybe ask them during one of their next interviews on trekmovie. com?-This would make the name valid. Or we get access to script/writer's bible. Kennelly 17:22, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
- From a TrekMovie.com interview with Roberto Orci:

- Why? Your quotes confirm that it isn't up to them to declare it canon, and Paramount hasn't. --OuroborosCobra talk 21:00, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
- I figure, until it is renamed in another TV series or film, we keep it as Hobus, as ST: Countdown is semi-canon and there, really is nothing better to call it, besides something akin to "unnamed Romulan Star Empire star". --WTRiker 23:19, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
- There are no viable grounds for argument that it should be kept. The fact is, it is not canon, an so according to MA policy, it is inappropriate here. I repeat my suggestion: give it to Memory Beta. In fact, I'm surprised it did not get onto the list of pages for deletion. – Crimsondawn Talk yuh talk 23:36, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
Star Trek: Star Charts Reference? Edit
Does anybody know if Hobus is named in the Star Trek: Star Charts book? It would be a nice touch if they picked a nearby star from that book. However, given how lazy and disrespectful they were to the other tenets of Trek science I suspect they named on the spot. Probably after their pet hamster. Drmick 20:16, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
- How dare they make up a name, instead of using a name from that other book, where names were made up? :D
- No, apparently this name is not from STSC... but, hey, it's not from the movie either. -- Cid Highwind 20:36, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Until I read this wiki, I had assumed it was Romulus' star! Which angered me because you would have thought the wandering Vulcans would have noticed that when they settled there. Still should have noticed the nearby impending nova anyhow thouh, so I'm still angry. Grrrr. Drmick 20:41, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
- I actually thought the new movie was quite respectful of Trek history, aside from relocating Delta Vega and creating another universe. I mean, Nemesis made up a new weapon chemical, what was wrong with that? Just because Star Trek is old does not mean that you can't have something new. Nothing is going to break if you improvise.
- And, anyway, Star Charts was written long before the movie. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by IT IS GREEN (talk • contribs).
Merge suggestion Edit
The fact remains that the name of this star is non-canon. The name was created for the comic book and, unlike Teral'n, the term does not appear in the script or on any merchandise. I have thus suggested this be merged with unnamed stars. --From Andoria with Love 16:13, December 5, 2009 (UTC)
- I agree. We should keep "Hobus" as a non-canon redirect though. -- sulfur 16:15, December 5, 2009 (UTC)
Agreed. --From Andoria with Love 16:21, December 5, 2009 (UTC)
From Talk:Sigma Draconis Edit
Reference Edit
You know, I have never been able to find a reference to this star in any of my sources, I only know the spectral type because they mention it in dialog. But you know I'd love to know where you are getting your base information on this system. --TOSrules 07:26, Nov 13, 2004 (CET)
- Here's one source: http://www.solstation.com/stars/sigdraco.htm --– The preceding unsigned comment was added by EtaPiscium (talk • contribs).
Inconceivable Edit
The old Star Trek series suffered from the limits they put on star names used -- usually familiar to amateur astronomers. Either they were inconceivably close for the story premise, or inconceivably far away, or not likely to support the story in some way (too large or bright or unstable a star).
In the case of Sigma Draconis, being only 18 light years away, it is inconceivable that the system had not been extensively explored before the incidents of "Spock's Brain". It appears to have been charted by little more than an automated probe and perhaps a pass by a manned vessel (a merchant ship, perhaps). Surely it would have been visited by Archer's Enterprise or the sister ship Columbia, and after the Xindi destroyed Earth ("Twilight"), humans could have scattered in various place, including settling in the equatorial regions of Sigma Draconis VI. Since there was no prime directive at the time, humans could have also hidden by establishing settlements on SD III and IV, isolated from the rest of the populations.
Rigel was very over-used, and perhaps the producers should have done careful checks on stars before they were used in a script, and then kept a record for back-checks. Rigel has several uses implying several planets that are used, including a "cabaret" on Rigel II, a dilithium mine on Rigil XII, the fortress and Kalor on Rigil VII. In addition, it was the next target of the doomsday machine, which was still close to the edge of the galaxy (either the outer rim or one flank). Gcapp1959 07:54, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
Merge into unnamed stars Edit
It seems that the term "Sigma Draconis" without "system" or a numeral behind it was used once , but it's pretty clear that it was used not as a term for the star, but rather as shorthand for the Sigma Draconis system. However, since the unnamed star was discussed and this page covers that info, it would be better to merge this page in unnamed stars (while still pointing the redirect to point to the system), rather then merging it into the system as might be more logical at first sight. -- Capricorn (talk) 13:18, April 15, 2015 (UTC)
From Talk:Azati Prime Edit
Name Edit
Azati Prime is named like a planet. this should be its entry as a planet, not a redirect to a system article, Steve (unless i've missed something about its nature) --Captainmike 18:48, 6 Jun 2004 (CEST)
- It looks like you caught this in the middle of my work; I'd just moved the article here (which was about the system) to Azati Prime system, which is what created the redirect. Azati Prime is now about the system's primary, and Azati Prime (planet) is about the planet. --Steve 19:43, 6 Jun 2004 (CEST)
But the 'Prime' descriptor means that, in general Star Trek terminology, that it is the one planet in that system. I don't know if the episode clarified this or disputed it, but in general, 'Azati Prime' would mean that it was the only planet around the star Azati, in the Azati system (if there were more planets, it would be called Azati I or Azati One instead, to make way for Azati II and Azati III, etc etc. Unless there's somethnig in the episodes that contradicts this, i'd assume that's what they meant --Captainmike 19:59, 6 Jun 2004 (CEST)
- The episode makes several references to multiple planets in the system: the Xindi have colonized two planets in the system, a map shows three of them to be within the detection grid, T'Pol refers to "the inner planets", Enterprise hides behind a planet(oid) on the outskirts the system. --Steve 20:21, 6 Jun 2004 (CEST)
- Additionally, 'Prime' does not generally mean that there is exactly one planet in that star system (for example, Cardassia Prime). I think the terminology as described by Steve is correct here - Azati Prime is the star, not one of its planets. -- Cid Highwind 20:33, 6 Jun 2004 (CEST)
Still I think we should at least recognize the possibility that the term is used in the sense that it is the first planet in a system, other that it could be a location-non-specific name (Azati Prime is in that system, as Azati II would be a planet in another star system completey, or so on). We should avoid making an assumption or speculation that it means one or the other unless they actually said so.
the Azati Prime (planet) entry works describing the planet, the Azati Prime system entry describes the system it was in as presented in the episode (i.e. the system Azati Prime is in).. but i don't think we can safely assume the star could or should be named Azati Prime also (unless of course, that was specified) it seems like overly speculative. --Captainmike 21:11, 6 Jun 2004 (CEST)
- I remember a scene (probably "Stratagem") in which Archer and T'Pol are searching their star charts for all red giants in the area, because one of them has to be Azati Prime. The connection between that name and the star (not the system or one of its planets) has definitely been made in this case... Random thought of the moment: Can we be sure that other "Primes" refer to planets and not stars? -- Cid Highwind 21:57, 6 Jun 2004 (CEST)
- Hmm... we know Cardassia Prime and Tandar Prime are planets... but on the other hand Kolarus Prime is a star. There appears to be no consistent application of terminology here. But then, what else should we expect? This is Star Trek. ;) --Steve 22:06, 6 Jun 2004 (CEST)
Well, that's a good a reason as any. I think the problem is how later era Trek writers are unfamiliar with Trek history (and a lot of general naming conventions and basic sciences). I'm just pointing out that the name seems incongruous (I'm not as closely familiar with the episodes leading up to "Azati Prime"). Maybe we could add a footnote to the naming irregularity... --Captainmike 23:23, 6 Jun 2004 (CEST)
Merger notice Edit
According to "MA:NOT", it is stated, Although there are a great many gaps in our knowledge about the Star Trek universe, Memory Alpha articles are not the place for personal opinions. Don't write an entire article on a speculative subject – if we don't know, then leave it blank. The name of this star is not given in the episodes "Stratagem" and "Azati Prime". As the name is unknown, this page should be merged with Unnamed stars. Lakenheath72 (talk) 22:50, April 4, 2015 (UTC)
- Merge. And when it is, "Azati Prime (planet)" should be renamed to just Azati Prime. -- Capricorn (talk) 20:04, April 5, 2015 (UTC)
Split suggestion Edit
I propose that the "red giant" section of this article be moved to Azati Prime (star), due to the star clearly being named "Azati Prime" in the scripts of both "Stratagem" and "Azati Prime". --Defiant (talk) 11:41, March 4, 2016 (UTC)
- Support-- Capricorn (talk) 14:37, March 4, 2016 (UTC)
Other splitEdit
Would splitting this page by quadrant make sense? --LauraCC (talk) 17:53, March 13, 2016 (UTC)

I am building a hierarchy of groups to represent an organisational structure. I have one top level group which then has a number of sub groups. Each sub group can then have any number of sub groups and so on.
I've set up a sql database with two tables.
Groups with the following columns.
- Id (int)
- Description (nvarchar(max))
GroupChildren with the following columns.
- Id (int)
- GroupId (int)
- ChildGroupId (int)
As an example, if Group 1 has two sub groups, Group 2 and Group 3, the Groups table would have 3 records
- Id - 1, Description - Group 1
- Id - 2, Description - Group 2
- Id - 3, Description - Group 3
The GroupChildren table will have 2 records
- Id - primary key id, GroupId - 1, ChildGroupId - 2
- Id - primary key id, GroupId - 1, ChildGroupId - 3
This links my two child groups to Group 1. I have two POCO classes to represent this which are as follow
public class Group
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<GroupChild> GroupChildren { get; set; }
public class GroupChild
public int Id { get; set; }
public int GroupId { get; set; }
public Group ChildGroup { get; set; }
I have created mappers for both of these classes which are set up as follows
internal class GroupMapper : EntityTypeConfiguration<Group>
internal GroupMapper()
HasKey(t => t.Id);
Property(t => t.Id).HasColumnName("Id").IsRequired();
Property(t => t.Description).HasColumnName("Description").IsRequired();
internal class GroupChildMapper : EntityTypeConfiguration<GroupChild>
internal GroupChildMapper()
HasKey(g => g.Id);
Property(g => g.Id).HasColumnName("Id").IsRequired();
Property(g => g.GroupId).HasColumnName("GroupId").IsRequired();
HasRequired(g => g.ChildGroup)
.Map(x => x.MapKey("ChildGroupId"))
To retrieve the group and sub groups I call
return GetDbSet<Group>()
.Where(c => c.Id == id)
This returns the group with the Id and Description but I get the following error when looking at the GroupChildren property
Invalid column name 'Group_Id'.
Invalid column name 'Group_Id'.
The column 'Group_Id' doesn't exist anywhere in code or the database. I've tried to resolve this by looking at other posts and some suggest that it's the way EF interprets primary/foreign key values but I cannot find how I can resolve this?

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
Critics of Zack Snyder's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" canned the film as a barely linear collection of action set pieces whose stakes and melodrama were undercut by threadbare story logic — in short, dismissing it as a video game — but some enterprising graphic artists have turned the movie's simplicity it into an asset by adapting its major scenes in the fashion of a throwback, 8-bit video game.
Even as Disneyland and Disney World prepare to break ground on their Star Wars-themed areas, video game developer BioWare has announced that its own sci-fi epic, Mass Effect, is on a course for California's Great America theme park.
Produced through a partnership between publisher Electronic Arts and California's Great America, the attraction is described as a "first-of-its-kind guest experience," combining live performers, special effects and "4D effects." The "4D holographic experience" is set to open in 2016 at the Santa Clara, California park's newly renovated Action Theater.
Guinness World Records has declared Jason Camberis' Arcade Deluxe as the "World's Largest Arcade Machine," and, really, who can argue?
A network engineer from Chicago, the 44-year-old Camberis spent two years building the gargantuan machine, which stands 4.41 meters high — or, as Guinness so helpfully offers, "taller than a fully grown African elephant." The glass track ball is 16 inches in diameter. It's fully functional, too, loaded with more than 200 classic arcade games; it's also compatible with all game platforms.
Ubisoft, the video game publisher behind such blockbuster franchise as Assassin's Creed, Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell, has announced plans for a theme park in Malaysia.
Spearheaded by the company's Ubisoft Motion Pictures division, the "next-generation" park is scheduled to open in 2020 in a 10,000-square-meter indoor complex in Kuala Lumpur, with rides, shows and other attractions based on Ubisoft properties.
Legal | Game company SNK Playmore has dropped its charges against manga publisher Square Enix and will allow the manga Hi Score Girl to use its characters without penalty. Last year, SNK filed a criminal complaint against Square Enix, charging that the manga, a comedy about gamers, included more than 100 instances of unauthorized use of SNK Playmore's characters. As a result, serialization of the manga was suspended while police pursued charges against 16 of the people involved in its publication. Today, Square Enix announced that the two companies have reached an agreement: SNK Playmore has dropped its claim, and the two companies will work together with regard to sharing their characters.

When Spencer Kern decided to build a PC from scratch, he turned to Minecraft for inspiration. After all, if the sole purpose of the computer for playing the wildly popular sandbox video game, it should look the part, right?
And so began the Redstone PC, a beautiful cube that resembles the Redstone blocks from Minecraft. That in itself would probably be enough for most people, but not Kern, who also crafted a custom keyboard, controller and mouse. As he explains in his breakdown of the project, there's even a Steve minifigure.
As incredible as the upcoming Star Wars Battlefront video game looks, it wouldn't seem right to play it on just any PlayStation 4. You need something like this, a custom R2-D2 themed PlayBook 4.
Constructed by Eddie Zarick, with some assistance from the folks at Astromech, it's effectively a scaled-down, rectangular version of the fan-favorite droid, with a 3D-printed case and realistic sound effects. As you can see in the video below, the console features an R2-style red/blue light and makes appropriate sounds when certain buttons are pushed.
If you always wanted to know what a conversation between the Dark Knight and Shaggy — yes, Shaggy of "Scooby-Doo" fame would sound like, a new video promoting the upcoming "LEGO Dimensions" has you covered.
TT Games, Warner Bros. and The LEGO Group have released a new promo that features Batman and and Shaggy talking cars. Always looking out for his image, the Dark Knight questions the always-lovable Shaggy about his new ride, wanting to know if it has shields, bulletproof paneling and, most importantly, if it comes in black. But it might not be the car you're expecting.
Udon Entertainment announced at Comic-Con International in San Diego that it has acquired one of the most sought-after manga licenses ever, Ryoko Ikeda's "Rose of Versailles," as well as two other series: Moyoco Anno's "Sugar Sugar Rune," which was previously published by Del Rey Manga, and "Stein's Gate" based on the "Steins;Gate" video game.
"Rose of Versailles," set in the court of the French queen Marie Antoinette, is one of the most popular and influential manga of all time, and became a shared experience for a generation of Japanese women. The main character in the story is Oscar Francois de Jarjayes, the youngest daughter of the leader of the palace guard, who is raised as a man so she can succeed her father. The story mingles real historical events with romance, drama, and palace intrigue, with Oscar in the center and Marie Antoinette, her paramour Count Axel von Ferson, and Oscar's childhood friend Andre Grandier all playing major roles.
The creative team of Akira Himekawa has announced a return to The Legend of Zelda manga series following a seven-year absence.
"2015, after 7 years … The Legend of Zelda manga series returns! Please support it!" the duo wrote on their website, as translated by Anime News Network. "Which version of me can you meet this time? Look forward to finding out!!" They also posted a new piece of art, below.
Akira Himekawa produced serialized adaptations of The Legend of Zelda video games, from 1999's Ocarina of Time to 2009's Phantom Hourglass. They returned to Hyrule in 2011 with a stand-alone prequel to Skyward Sword.
Fans of Super Mario Bros. 3, the owners of CatastrophiCreations wanted to come up with a way to incorporate their favorite video game into their apartment, in a practical way. They ended up with a terrific Chain Chomp-inspired cat bed, attached to wooden storage box — although that's definitely not where they started.
"At first, I really wanted to make a litter box, because in my opinion most litter boxes are very ugly," one of CatastrophiCreations' owners explains on BoredPanda. "I liked the thought of people showing off their litter boxes, rather than hiding them in some back room or closet. Once I started on the Chain Chomp, however, I realized it would be a little too small for a litter box. It was the perfect size for a covered bed, though!"
Image Comics partner Jim Valentino has filed a copyright- and trademark-infringement lawsuit, claiming a company released a video game based on his signature creation ShadowHawk without his permission.
In a documents filed last week in Los Angeles federal court, and first reported by Courthouse News Service, Valentino accuses Rose Colored Gaming of acquiring materials produced in the early 1990s by Nintendo for a never-released ShadowHawk 16-bit game, and then selling its own "finished" version earlier this year. What's more, the filing insists, the company used panels from one of Valentino's comics for the packaging.
If the wait for a live-action Legend of Zelda television series seems unbearable, you should probably take a couple of minutes to watch this impressive new trailer "The Final Battle," a short-film collaboration between Player Piano and The Zelda Project.
The film promises Legend of Zelda fans "a live-action recreation of the epic fight between Link and Ganondorf. " If the teaser is any indication, it'll be something well worth watching.
Hey! Listen! If you have ideas about proposing to taht gamer in your life, you'd probably score serious points by doing it with this Legend of Zelda-inspired treasure chest, complete with Red Rupee engagement-ring box.
Created by IndyFurniture, the handmade 12-inch by 9-inch by 10-inch chest includes interior lights, and makes an "iconic sound" when opened. It costs $200, so you have to make really sure this person is the Link or Zelda for you.

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
The bezel was literally factory specific and impossible to tell the difference besides the double dim. Just mKe sure you understand where the old screws went and where the new screws go. I broke s couple of inlets because I wasn't paying attention so think three times before assembly. Got mine for $9 bundled with my stereo. Amazing!!
Pros: Same factory texture and color. High quality and easy to work with. No flaking plastics or low quality molds.
Cons: It wasn't free

What error does it generate ?
Editing index.php
Oops, no such file exists! Double check the name and try again, merci.
and such for all but the comments. It seems wordpress doesn't know that index.php and .htaccess are not in the root wp dir?
This is from #irc last night ....
Options -- General
The WordPress address must point to the install.
The Blog address to where the files are.
And to get it working, "if your index is in the root directory and the installation is under another directory, you must change the call on the third line in index.php to require('./installationDIR/wp-blog-header.php');"
Try IRC #wordpress on irc.freenode.net ?
I did change that stuff. It's only the web based editing that doesn't seem to work.

There's any number of questions about MSIL on SO but none that directly answer this.
I've been using Textpad which does have a syntax definition file for MSIL and then using ILASM in a command prompt window.
I did find a reference to ILIDE but the link is broken.
Is there an IDE or add-on / plugin to Visual Studio / Eclipse for MSIL that allows syntax highlighting, intellisense, code completion, debugging etc.?

Washington, D.C. - The Association for Retail Technology Standards (ARTS), the standards and technology division of the National Retail Federation (NRF), has released the Compliance Audit Interchange. The CAI is a specification that allows organizations to share compliance audit results securely with other companies who source from the same supplier location.
Included in the standard is a set of defined XML standard messages to enable brands and retailers to track and to communicate with their manufacturers and other supply chain intermediates about compliance with human rights, environmental and supply chain security issues. It also defines the means where brands, retailers and audit companies can confidentially and securely exchange audit information with other companies and external databases. Technical reports offering in-depth discussions of the compliance audit landscape and the need for standards, as well as a design specification for the registry itself, are also included.
ARTS and FFC were supported in this project by retailers, brands, suppliers and multi-stakeholder organizations, such as Nike, Adidas, El Corte Inglés, Cisco, Enablon, Intertek, SIM Supply Chain Information Management, the Fair Labor Association, SEDEX, BSCI, GS1, GSCP and SIF.

Planners are taking a second stab at determining whether the Athens area would support its first Catholic high school.
The Rev. Monsignor Peter Dora, spokesman for the Archdiocese of Atlanta's Catholic churches, which is overseeing the project, said a consulting group has been hired for another effort to gauge support for a high school to supplement the current Catholic school on Prince Avenue.
St. Joseph's Catholic School teaches kindergarten through eighth grade.
''The bottom line is that the project is not dead, but re-grouping and in the reassessment phase,'' Dora said. ''The concept has the total and enthusiastic support of the Archdiocese of North Georgia and Archbishop John Francis Donoaghue. We're all working together to see what is practical. The cost is driven by the design, which is driven by the curriculum.''
According to St. Joseph's Catholic School, the first feasibility study did confirm support for a Catholic high school, which would be the first in Athens-Clarke County. However, that study is now 2 years old and was conducted prior to Archdiocese approval for the proposed high school.
The Metanoia Group, the consulting firm doing the second feasibility study, will be contacting people around Northeast Georgia, Dora added, asking questions such as how much people would be willing to pay for tuition at the private high school and if they would be willing to donate money for construction.
''Even worse than not opening a high school is opening a high school institution that's programmed for failure,'' Dora said of the possibility the school can't be financially supported. ''We know the demand is there. People all over Clarke County have said they desire a Catholic high school or another option of private education.''
Both Dora and local planners said the project needs a fresh set of eyes for a new feasibility study.
''The (initial) fund-raising project did not produce what they initially had hoped for,'' Dora said. ''At that point we wanted to bring somebody in with no vested interest either way and look at the project. A consultant has been hired to survey the market conditions for such an institute.''
Dora said the Catholic high school concept began with a kickoff and fund-raising drive at the beginning of 1998, with the goal of raising $7.5 million prior to construction. Barbara Dooley, wife of University of Georgia Athletic Director Vince Dooley, was named honorary chairman.
The drive fell short of its goal of $7.5 million, but $1.7 million in assets were accumulated for the high school when a committee exploring the project asked the Archdiocese for its approval and use of low-interest loans through the governing body of Catholic churches in North Georgia.
Although the fund-raising drive came up short, several things have been accomplished to bring the high school closer to reality.
According to St. Joseph's, an initial study confirmed the feasibility of a high school, local individuals were organized for establishing a non-profit corporation to develop goals for the project, 104 acres of land were purchased on Lavender Road in northwest Athens-Clarke County between Tallasee and Jefferson roads, and the Athens-Clarke County government approved preliminary site plans and conceptual plan for the new high school.
Even if the Metanoia Group reports back that support isn't there for a Catholic high school right now, Dora said the project could remain alive for the future.
''With as much as Athens is growing and as much as the Catholic Church is growing here in Georgia, things could change tremendously in a few years,'' Dora said. ''If now is not the right timing (for the high school), it could be in a few years from now.''
Sister Teresa Ballisty, principal of St. Joseph Catholic School, said parents have been voting with their feet by sending their children to the school. The school now has a row of trailers on its campus for classrooms and space is at a premium.

October 13: Karma in Translation
Yesterday afternoon, I met with a 70-year-old Tibetan monk, a monastic since age 10. He agreed to meet with me, but did not want the interview recorded.
He was born in a village close to the Sumtseling monastery, where he is now a resident. During the Cultural Revolution, he fled to India to escape persecution. He returned from exile three years ago during a period of Chinese religious liberalization.
Pilgrimage Map
I asked him about rebirth, and he tells me that when I am reborn as an animal it will be due to the karma I have created in this and previous lives. I ask him if I must be reborn as an animal — and he again states that it will be the result of my past and future actions. I stop asking and hope that I am simply confused by the translator's interpretation.
I shift the conversation to my pilgrimage. He tells me that if I am concerned about the benefits that I will receive from my pilgrimage, I can expect little. He suggests that a better attitude would be to perform the pilgrimage in the hope that it would benefit all beings.

Singer Boy George (Photo: Flickr/Russavia)
It looks like singer Boy George could soon be changing his lyrics to "Shawarma Chameleon", following news that he is to open gay pride events in Israel this year.
The music icon, who found fame in '80s pop group Culture Club, will officially launch Israel's pride events in Eilat on May 15, at the annual Temptation party on Dekel Beach.
He will be performing an all-night DJ set at the event alongside music producer Mark Vedo.
The country's LGBT festivities will then continue the following month with Tel Aviv's annual gay pride week, which takes place from June 8 – 13 and culminates with a street parade throughout the city.

So supposedly the Lyrids meteor shower will take place between early morning April 16th to 22nd - correct me if I am wrong. I am aged 15 and am interested in skywatching, I just wondered will it be visible from the northern Hemisphere? Or will it be like the lunar eclipse and only be visible in the Western Hemisphere? Thanks.
You should definitely be able to see this meteor shower. It will be in the north east from your viewpoint near the star vega.
You may find these websites useful. If you're interested in amateur astronomy, there is free software for interactive star maps. I use one called stellarium. I'm also an amateur astronomer and I've learned so much with it. You may enjoy it as well.

Okie Dokie Y'all.
Here it is. Air out your grievances here, since apparently PANing GO's is out of the question (regardless of how many times we've asked you to do so).
I'll start by saying I may not always agree with other GO's. I'll also say that YOU all don't know when we disagree with each other. We're figuring it out. We're working with Dawn and Noel and Lanie so that we CAN figure it out. But while we ARE figuring it out, we're still standing behind each others decisions to delete and or lock or whatever the heck is going on, so that way we CAN all be on the same page.
You might not see it as a spin-off. Someone else might. I don't know what to tell you ladies. Pick another topic besides "closed threads". There's a lot to contribute to. If there are any issues and you don't feel like it's being resolved with one of the new GO's, then PAN Dawn or Noel or Lanie.
That is all. Talk it out. Please refrain from using personal attacks and or attacking GO's. Then we're golden.
PSA - Deleted Posts - Comments, Etc...
Saying 'YOU bitches be cray' is a violation because it is directed at people on BBC/In this post. Saying 'bitches be cray' isn't a technical violation because it is generalized at random bitches. We HAVE to delete things that are violations. I didn't report your post because I knew it was meant as a joke, but still it was a violation. It was either we delete it quickly, or someone report it. I was typing you a message in another window but my opera keeps shutting down on me. (I've had to retype this message 3 times!!!)

**My tact-o-meter is often set to stun.**
So asking a simple question like that was a violation? that makes no sense! It's not like she just said "you bitches be cray"...she just ASKED if saying that would be a violation. you are over-doing it Sweden.

It doesn't matter if you are offended or anyone else is. It is against the guidelines. That simple. We aren't deleting things that people get butthurt over, we are deleting things that are against the guidelines. 'feelings' aren't important, rules are basically.

**My tact-o-meter is often set to stun.**
But still. Fucking Wah.
One time I said "some people shouldn't be allowed to reproduce" and THAT was a violation, even though I didn't specify who.
Can't make bitches happy these days.
I didn't say you....
It was the *YOU* in your statement that made it a violation. Like I said just saying 'bitches be cray' wouldn't be a vio. It was when you direct the sentence that it becomes a violation. The simple thing is GOs don't make the guidelines. BBC does. If you dont like one of them write them about it, but until they change the guidelines we have to follow them.

I think this thread is better than the drama crap because it's a bunch of grown soon-to-be-mothers, if not already, crying so they can do what they want whenver they want however they want to whoever they want. Like my 3 year old neice. Now THIS is entertaining.
oh I get it. I wouldn't have taken offense to that comment Desiree. "you bitches be cray" just sounds like a silly jab at someone, not a serious personal attack.

|This page is an essay, containing the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. Essays are not Wikipedia policies or guidelines. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints.
Wikipedia articles should contain a thesis statement early in their introductions and listed at the top their talk pages along with a three point structure derived from that thesis statement. Discussion should go at the bottom of the talk page, linked to the top. The thesis statement may be modified after editing.
- A thesis statement will help clarify introduction
- A thesis statement will help clarify structure
- A thesis statement will help clarify discussion & dispute
For example, if the contrived article "Square" read, "Squares are the worst shape ever," as an introduction this could be adopted as a thesis statement, with the article reorganized around I. Height, II. Width, III. Poor family life. Then if a reader came along and added missing info that the Square donated a portion of its profit from theft & business to charity they would not be obligated to modify the thesis statement or structure on the talk page that is not visible from the article. However, a conscientious editor may edit those to read, "Squares, widely considered the worst shape ever, despite their charitable activities," and add a IVth section titled "Charitable activities".
As may be seen this helps clarify the introduction, and structure, and may help guide discussion and resolves disputes regarding content and the introduction, and structure.
JOYLEE Introduction[edit]
Since the introduction should reflect the structure and information in the article a thesis statement assists this in that it is also required to do so.
OCHOA Structure[edit]
Since the article should elaborate/explain anything mentioned in the thesis, it may be seen that a thesis helps clarify the article structure reciprocally.
Discussion & Disputes[edit]
Since a thesis will help clarify the introduction, content, and structure it will obviously help clarify disputes regarding those issues since the problem becomes most often should this be in the structure & thesis" not "should it be in one, the other, or both?"

I would love to be able to use the Tanzaku theme--all the other jquery masonry themes I've found have too many features I want to turn OFF.
BUT Tanzaku displays a warning on the front page, "Warning: split() [function.split]: REG_EMPTY in /home2/wordturn/public_html/newskateboard/wp-content/themes/tanzaku/functions.php on line 60"
I'm not sure whether this warning is because the split function is used incorrectly, or because the split function is deprecated and won't be supported soon. Or both.
Split appears in three consecutive lines of function.php for Tanzaku:
`$split_url = split($mark, $img_url);
if ($split_url[1] != null) {
$img_path = $upload_path . $split_url[1];`
Is there a practical fix for this situation?

12/30/2013 - Fargo Opening
Sweeto Burrito Fargo to Open Dec. 30
--23 December 2013, Fargo, ND-- Sweeto Burrito fans will soon be able to get their fix at the new downtown Fargo, ND location. Set to begin operations on Dec. 30, the opening of this Sweeto Burrito is part of a major national expansion of the franchise. The popular brand, known for its unique twist on American, Mexican and Thai, announced earlier this year that it was in the midst of a major expansion and had awarded the rights for the development of 250 locations in the states of Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Florida, Utah, Idaho and the Dakotas. It is expected that a total of 30 new Sweeto Burritos will be open by the end of 2014. These locations will be a mix of brick-and-mortar and mobile food vendors.
"We are fortunate to have the Starmark Hospitality team behind the rollout of Sweeto Burrito in the Dakotas," said CEO and Founder of Sweeto Burrito Jon Pierre Francia. "It is so fitting that after our crazy beginning in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota, our first brick-and -mortar store will open in Fargo. With hundreds of stores now committed in a number of states, Sweeto Burrito will shortly become a widely recognized brand through the efforts of great partners like Starmark Hospitality. We couldn't be happier,"
Sweeto Burrito Fargo anticipates a busy opening day as Sweeto fans, who have long been clamoring for their favorite menu items on Facebook, will finally get to come in and enjoy them. The Fargo location will be open from 7am to 10pm, Sunday to Wednesday, and from 7am to 3am, Thursday to Saturday. More information and updates from Sweeto Burrito Fargo can be found on the location's Facebook page.
About Sweeto Burrito
Founded in 2011, Sweeto Burrito was born from the streets. Jon Pierre Francia took his love for great food and his experience building brands and started the first Sweeto Burrito truck in North Dakota. Sweeto Burrito prides itself on being different from other burrito chains, with its fast-casual order method, sit-down format and eclectic menu. The company began franchising in 2013 and has already sold commitments for 250 locations. For more information, visit

4 Safe Green Ways to Refinish Reclaimed Furniture
Posted By Ginny Figlar Colón On June 8, 2009 @ 3:37 am In Eco Decorating, Green Living | 24 Comments
Wood is a renewable resource, especially when it comes from responsibly managed forests [1]. And there's another way to help the planet when purchasing wood furniture [2] — one that can also help your budget: buying used!
If you think about it, flea markets are green markets, and I can't help but get that pat-myself-on-the-back feeling of satisfaction when I give a piece of furniture a second chance at life.
I had one of these flea market shopping highs a few weeks ago, when I found a solid wood cabinet that would work perfectly as a TV stand. (We had been hunting for a toddler-proof one for months!) It's not going to win any design awards, but it has a classic look that makes it easy to match our other furniture [3], plus a phenomenal price tag: $40. Much cheaper than anything I was looking at new, and with a lot more character. All it needed was a few hours of elbow grease and some white paint.
With garage sale season now in full swing, here's how to take wood furniture from trash to treasure while stepping lightly on the planet.
Flea market finds are an open invitation to be creative, so have fun shopping!

I started the diet because his research made sense, but it scared me-I didn't want to get sicker than I was-KWIM? It was unbelievable though! I recovered 90 percent within the first month. That was enough for me! I'm actually a hundred percent better now and I owe it all to finding raw! Needless to say it keeps me pretty committed I am working to get closer to all raw, but as it stands now the only "cooking" I really do is at dinnertime. I'm thinking of phasing that out, but it's difficult because I'm craving stick to your bones food. I'm pregnant, nursing, and it is winter in New England. Any tips on how to get over the psychological aspects of heavy food? Or Good raw choices to satisfy those needs?

This is a beginner's question about font handling in Cocoa. I have a font family, e.g. Verdana, that has the following typefaces: Regular, Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic. I know those typefaces exist since they are available in the Fonts panel.
This works:
NSFont *regular = [NSFont fontWithName:@"Verdana" size:75];
NSFont *bold = [NSFont fontWithName:@"Verdana-Bold" size:75];
NSFont *italic = [NSFont fontWithName:@"Verdana-Italic" size:75];
This does not work:
NSFont *boldItalic = [NSFont fontWithName:@"Verdana-Bold Italic" size:75];
What is the simplest way to get the Bold Italic version of a given font family?

I'd be lying if I said I even read a word of it. Awesome post!
So it wasn't being burned in the fire that killed them, but a little powder? Uh-huh. Charles, I'm glad you're in the US and not there.
since this was in harare - which is an actual city, how does it further your thesis that "rural idiots" are the cause of the planet's problems?
Screw payday loans. If I'm ever in a financial jam, I'm gettin' me a money lizard. Preferably one that is fireproof like the money lizards in this story.
Money lizards make a lot more sense than those democracy lizards that Bush is hawking. But I can't wait for Tony Snow's press conference announcing that the answer to the fiction of climate change are those global warming lizards.
Ethnic people are so zany!
Man Zimbabwe needs help
It used to be an okay place to visit, maybe a little boring (although we were in the middle of a pulling match in Harare over who's bus we'd ride on).
The people are really nice and honest there. Actually, Zambians were really the best (far more honest than I could hope to be in their sitautions), but we met lots of nice people in Zimbabwe. The corruption of their governments and ours really is unfair. They deserve help in ridding themselves of Mugabe. It probably would be better coming from the ANC, but how many years is this going to be left to linger?
I have to ask, how is portraying Zimbaweans in this unflatering light, by cherry picking the most inane stories in the Herald, helping to further a specific point - and further more, what point is it that you are furthering? You know that the Herald publishes these stories as space filler in craptastically crapy newspaper and that the only people who read that stuff are literate versions of your "rural idiots". So I ask again, why post this without context? I can only infer that you mean for the average slog reader to marvel at the idocy of your countrymen i.e. you mean for the average slog reader to believe that these silly ideas are held by wide swaths of Zimabweans and by extension that wide swaths of Zimbaweans are silly and stupid. For someone who only recently emerged from the simplicity of Kwekwe you completley embody the essence of a munoz or musalad and thats just sad....
Yes the posts are sad. A brilliant and original writer serves up his countrymen to be ridiculed by the white readers of his newspaper. Is this what happens when we leave?
We mock and then silly readers offer cheap commentary.
Yes Mugabe is horrible. Once he leaves, little will change for the rural dwellers of Zimbabwe. Empire has no interest in their future, to beleive other wise is the true idiocy.
Desperate poverty creates incredible situations where people are stripped of all their dignity and at times all they have is their horrendous myths, legends and superstitions.
America is a country of incredible wealth and yet you will find these same situations not only in the rural but in the city town folk as well. But this great writer and African man of letters, feels the need to feed the apetite of the colonializers to mock the savage developing world dweller as if this country is rich simply because people here work harder. As if examples of idiocy are not plentiful in our adopted country as well. As if Empire had nothing to do with the inequality which breeds such rural idiocy. Charles is a subject of empire just like the rural idiots he mocks, but he just happens to be educated.
Seriously, what's with all the Zimbabwe around here alla the sudden?

-1 star for having a heart attack when seeing all the options
-1 star for a broken thumbnail system (half the time instead of showing a larger image on thumbnail hover it either shrinks down to nothing or pops up as a giant 475px by 475px square.) I even reset all the settings to default.
-1 star for option T1:C:8 being completely broken (default is 150, but it won't let you set any number under 340 so you can't even get back to default size)
Looks like I can't use this plugin.
Working with this plugin is like stepping into the cockpit of a fighter jet: all kinds of technical levers and buttons. Shortcodes are far too technical for me to unleash on my clients.
Some of the interface is downright peculiar. For example, there are three separate boxes for uploading photos:
Box A: Multiple Photos in one selection
You can select up to 20 photos in one selection and upload them.
Box B: Single Photos in multiple selections
You can select up to 20 photos one by one and upload them at once.
Box C: Zipped Photos in one selection
You can upload one zipfile. It will be placed in your personal wppa-depot: .../wp-content/wppa-depot/{username}
Once uploaded, use Import Photos to unzip the file and place the photos in any album.
But doesn't Box B duplicate the functionality of Box A? And why does Box C involve extra steps? Why make no use of the WP media library functionality? Hello, drop target?
From the How to Start Instructions:
Two albums, two photos? Why? Why shortcode only? And then it tells us to "go playing with the settings"? Odd.
It probably works well enough. But it's for people with some technical knowledge.

Q From Michael Turniansky: In Patchwork Girl of Oz (L Frank Baum, 1913), I came across the expression mad as hops. Is that the forerunner of hopping mad? And what is so mad about hops?
A There are indeed a number of old expressions using the word hops in the sense of the plant. One was as thick as hops, referring to the dense mats of creeper you can get when hops grow wild and unchecked, and another was as fast as hops, because the plant dies back in winter and then grows very rapidly from its base each spring. These were both known by 1630 at the latest. The phrase hopping mad also dates from the seventeenth century, but it uses a different sense of hop, the one of jumping up and down on one foot, in other words of being so angry that one is literally unable to keep still. It seems that sometime in the nineteenth century in the US somebody punned by combining these phrases to create as mad as hops. The expression is first recorded in Harper's Magazine in 1884, but is probably older. So there's nothing mad about the plant at all.

Check out Jon Kessler: The Web, at Soho's Swiss Institute
I recently visited John Kessler's newest installation, The Web, at the Swiss Institute in Soho. If this is your kind of art, I urge you to make a visit.
Mixed-media sculptor Jon Kessler has been a personal favorite for a bunch of years now, ever since I first saw his massive The Palace at 4:00 A.M. piece at MoMA PS1 back in early 2006. Featuring dozens of surveillance cameras and their corresponding, trickily positioned monitors, and a hundred intricate, often kinetic details, The Palace took over the entire third floor of the museum and was, in a word, amazing. And everything I've seen of Kessler's since, such as last winter's The Blue Period at Salon 94 on Bowery, has been more of the same: tons of closed circuit cameras, lots of whirring, moving parts, crazy imagery, overall amazingness.
Jon Kessler's Newest Installation, The Web, is Totally Engaging
And now Kessler's back in town, with an as-usual totally demented, totally engaging installation, The Web. Filling the cavernous space of the great Soho gallery Swiss Institute (where Deitch used to be on lower Wooster, and always worth a look whenever you're in the area), The Web is Kessler's pointed portrait of our collective obsessiveness over all things internet: our smart phones, our social networks, our (voluntary) loss of privacy, our compulsive selfies, and the recording and sharing of every last mundane moment in our lives. Sure, it's an easy target, our zombie-fication via iPhone, but what makes The Web so effective (and fun!) is the way it immediately sucks you in to the very thing it skewers.
The Web is an Interactive Experience at the Swiss Institute
Your image, relentlessly recorded and instantly projected from countless different angles as you make your way through the maze–of cameras, monitors, zoetrope-y spinning things, and creepy sculptures of an every-Brooklyn-tech-dude lounging in hammocks, clicking and swiping away–makes you an integral part of the installation. You will definitely take out your phone and/or camera and take shots of the madness, then send it along to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, whatever your particular addiction.
You will take selfies (or pics of your partner-in-art-going), once you figure out how all the cameras work, and which monitor is showing you when you stand here… and here.. and here. And Kessler has even created an app which, once downloaded to your phone, allows any photo you take to become part of the exhibition. It's all very cool and funny and also a little depressing.
Definitely worth a look.
Jon Kessler: The Web will be on exhibition at Swiss Institute through April 28. Swiss Institute is located in Soho on Wooster Street between Grand and Canal, and is open Wednesday through Sunday from 12:00 noon to 6:00 p.m. More info on the Swiss Institute website.
