Usually, I take any chance I can to talk about why Shenmue is both overrated by people who love it and underrated by those who don't, and then walk out backwards while flipping everyone the bird… but I'll restrain myself today. What we're here to talk about today is another Dreamcast-related game–specifically Phantasy Star Online 2. Suspicions that the free-to-play MMO is coming to western audiences have just been confirmed.
Released in Japan on July 4, avid English-speaking fans of the original Phantasy Star Online for the Dreamcast have made remarkable efforts in gaining creating translation programs to make the game Japanese version of the game accessible. Here's the trailer:
The Phantasy Star series has gone through various iterations and styles, from first-person and third-person RPGs on SEGA consoles, to text adventures, to the popular Online series that debuted on the Dreamcast. As I mentioned in the release announcement for NiGHTS, this continues Sega's trend of revisiting old franchises with built-in audiences, and will hopefully be a good move for them, as the video game division of Sega-Sammy reported a loss of almost $200 million dollars.
The game is planned for a 2013 release on PCs.

This should have been posted a long time ago but my registration didn't get approved until today. Weird
1.What is one possible value for the slope of a line passing through point (-1,1) and passing between points (1,3) and (2,3) but not containing either of them?
Can someone work this problem out and show me every step?
2.The first term of a sequence is -3 and every term after the first is 5 more than the term immediately preceding it. What is the value of the 101st term?
I know the answer to this problem but I'd like to what is an easy and simple way to solve this problem.
Can someone work this problem out and show me every step?
I have the answer but don't know how it's solved. I'd really appreciate your help.
3. There are 120 red marbles and 80 blue marbles in a bag that contains 200 marbles. If only blue marbles are to be added to the bag so that the probability of randomly drawing a blue marble from the bag becomes 2/3, how many blue marbles must be added to the bag?
I basically need to see how other people solve these problems, I can solve them but it usually takes up too much time on these particular questions.
Math is not my strong point as you can see thx for the help.

1st one.. make it (1.5,3) and then get the slope for the 2..
On the last one we know that 120 is 1/3 of all of it, since blue will be 2/3. therefore the total will be 120x3 which is 360. Blue needs to be 2/3 and that is 240. 240-80= 160. Add 160

Q2. This is an arithmetic series: term#1 is -3, term#2 = -3 + (1)*5, term#3 = -3 + (2)*5, ..., term#n = -3 + (n-1)*5 .
So, term#101 = -3 + (101-1)*5 = -3 + 100*5 = -3 + 500 = 497 .

Parents of students at Madisonville Junior High School in St. Tammany Parish received automated telephone calls early Thursday to inform them that the district and law enforcement authorities were checking out threats two students allegedly made against other students. School district spokeswoman Meredith Mendez said the students who allegedly made the threats will remain out of school until the investigation is complete.
Mendez said otherwise it was business as usual at the school Thursday morning.
"School's in session,'' she said. "Everything is normal.''
Mendez said school officials caught wind of the alleged threats "in the middle of the night'' and alerted the Sheriff's Office. Parents were notified through "robocalls'' and were told that a letter would be going home with students Thursday afternoon.
Mendez said the rumors stemmed from the "ballpark'' and gained traction through social media.
"With every situation our goal is to keep parents informed,'' she said of the robocalls.
"We take all threats, whether real or a hoax, very seriously,'' the letter says, adding, "We are dedicated to our efforts to maintain a safe, secure and productive learning environment at Madisonville Junior High School.''

McIsaac, school board make PD day decision without first consulting major stakeholders
© Guardian photo by Heather Taweel
Education Minister Alan McIsaac
Education Minister Alan McIsaac was busy writing a letter when he should have been on the telephone. The minister, teachers' federation and school board are all seeking ways to make up classroom time for the 12 lost days this winter because of snowstorms. P.E.I. students lost an almost unprecedented five consecutive days starting last Wednesday and they would have been in class just twice this week until the minister and school board stepped in to cancel today's scheduled professional development and parent-teacher day.
With the March break week holiday ending just as the storms were starting, it meant that students didn't spend a lot of time in the classroom last month. Losing 12 days in one school year because of storms isn't an historical event. It's happened before and the school system got through it. But that was before the benchmark PISA test scores were released last fall, showing P.E.I. in last place in Canada for math, science and reading skills, and showing poorly against other countries rated by the international tests.
That put the focus squarely on more classroom time for students and additional PD days for teachers. Then, to make things worse, P.E.I. was lambasted with the most severe winter in 42 years. Worried parents and nervous students want results, putting a lot of pressure on teachers who have welcomed additional PD days to improve their skills and absorb curriculum changes.
Teachers might have quickly agreed to surrender today's PD day but the way it was handled was unprofessional. The federation and its membership heard about it through social media or the press. Mr. McIsaac says he wrote a letter to Gilles Arsenault, president of the PEITF, on Wednesday to see if teachers would give up their scheduled PD day in May in favour of class time. Perhaps he should have delayed that letter and instead get a conference call going with Mr. Arsenault and school board officials the first thing Wednesday morning about today's PD day. Once that was out of the way, then write that letter.
No one can blame Mr. Arsenault for being upset. The minister said in the house on Wednesday afternoon that a decision on the PD day in May is the teachers' decision and he was hoping for a positive response. Well, why wasn't today's PD day a teachers' decision instead of government and the board ramming it down their throats.
It seems the minister was under pressure to take some immediate affirmative action after that extended string of cancellations.
It did seem like the right thing to do, all right. But it could have been better handled. Unilateral decisions this week do not make for co-operative talks with all parties on options to make up lost classroom time. Options require the co-operation of everyone and it all starts with communication.
People need to be creative because time is running out on this school year. It was suggested that adding half an hour of classroom time to each day for the rest of the year might be an option. Moving
all parent-teacher sessions to the evening would help.
The bottom line is, get the job done. Everyone is well paid and well educated so solutions shouldn't be too hard to come up with. Mr. Arsenault gives assurances that teachers can adjust and adapt to ensure students get the proper instruction. Before parents get too worked up, it should be noted that sports trips continue unabated with seemingly little concern or worry.
It was hammered home by government for months just how valuable PD days are and their lasting impact on students. Or has the minister already forgotten that?

Back in first
As much as we all want to take the Rays seriously — and they sure do have some nice talent — it's very hard to take them seriously as major players in the American League East when they can't win a game at Fenway Park.
This regular season could be a lot like 2005 for the Sox in that they look primed to get through this race with grit.
I think this team is better positioned to make a run deep into October because they have so much young and energetic talent. Remember, aside from Papelbon, that '05 team was an old team that got tired down the stretch.
The Sox are in first and Beckett hasn't even gotten close to locked in yet. That can only mean big things.
Game 1 of Celtics-Lakers is Thursday night. How fired up is everyone?

CRANFORD — It's been only about two months since Fire me up! Studio opened for business, but owner Tammie Ramos-Crispino says there has been a steady stream of customers coming in to paint pottery and do the other activities offered inside the storefront at 117 N. Union Ave.
"We've been so busy since the day we started," Ramos-Crispino said on Nov. 7. "We're doing well. The community has been super-supportive."
Weekends are busiest, as well as weekdays when school is out, she said.
A mix of customers, from children to grownups, are coming to Fire me up! Studio for creative play and fun — painting pottery; making colorful jewelry and other pieces using a technique called glass fusing; and hand-building and sculpting clay.
People can go in without a reservation to do glass fusion and paint pottery, while classes are available to learn how to hand-build clay pieces.
"You can just walk in with a group of friends or family," Ramos-Crispino said, explaining that the studio hosts a lot of larger groups for events like birthday parties for children and projects for Girls Scout troops.
In the classes for children, kids learn "about the different aspects of handling clay," Ramos-Crispino said. "We also teach glazing techniques."
"Kids get a kick out of it. They love it."
Older students also hang out at Fire me up! Studio.
"We have a group of college kids who come in once a week," Ramos-Crispino said. "It started with four of them, and the last couple of times, it's been six or seven of them."
Other customers include couples on first dates or celebrating anniversaries. The studio also holds bridal showers, as well Ladies' Nights that usually take place on Thursday and Friday evenings.
"We actually do as many Ladies' Nights as we do birthday parties," Ramos-Crispino said.
Ladies' Night participants, and other groups, often bring in food and refreshments.
"You can bring wine, you can bring finger foods — as long as it fits on a table, we're OK with that," Ramos-Crispino said, but groups of 12 or more need to make a reservation first.
For more information about Fire me up! Studio, 117 N. Union Ave. in Cranford, visit the Fire me up! Studio website at firemeupstudio.com, or call 908-272-2600.

Tsutsui wins IBEW local's backing
Lt. Gov. Shan Tsutsui has received the endorsement of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1186 in his bid to keep the seat to which he was appointed in late 2012.

IBEW has more than 3,400 active members and in excess of 120 signatory contractors statewide.
The union represents workers in construction, telecommunications, public utility, federal government and service industry sectors. Its members are responsible for more than 75 percent of the electrical work done in Hawaii, the union said.
Damien Kim, IBEW's business manager and financial secretary, said the union backed Tsutsui because of his support for labor and concern for working families.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo.—Sycamore pitching dominated a doubleheader Saturday against Missouri State (22-17, 5-8 MVC) as Indiana State (22-18, 4-9 MVC) earned its first Missouri Valley Conference doubleheader sweep since the 2011 led by junior Yvette Alvarez's complete game one-hitter. The Sycamores won the first game 6-1 before completing the sweep with a 4-0 win in game two.
Game One
The Sycamores got on the board first and never looked back as sophomore Taylor Lockwood pitched a complete game to earn the win, allowing just five hits.
In the top of the third, the Sycamores got their offense going when junior Aubre Carpenter got things going with a one out single before scoring on a double off the wall by senior Morgan Allee. After a groundout, senior Shelby Wilson drew a walk before freshman Brooke Riemenschneider reached on a fielding error to score Allee. Both runners then scored off a throwing error on a ground ball hit by freshman Erika Crissman to give the Sycamores a 4-0 advantage.
The Sycamores then added a run in the top of the fifth, when Riemenschneider doubled and scored off a single by Crissman.
In the top of the sixth, the Sycamores extended their lead once again when junior Ashley Dickerson singled and came around to score on a double by Allee to give the Sycamores a 6-0 lead.
The Bears got on the board in the bottom of the sixth when they picked up one run off three htis to cut the Sycamore advantage to 6-1. The Bears could get no closer, however, as Lockwood completed the game, allowing just five hits with three strikeouts, all looking.
Allee was 3-4 with two doubles two RBI's and two stolen bases to move into the top 15 in MVC history in career stolen bases. Crissman was also 2-3 with two stolen bases.
Game Two
The Sycamores took an early lead in the second game and Yvette Alvarez never gave the Bears hope as she pitched a complete game one-hitter to earn the 4-0 win.
Indiana State struck first in the top of the second when Crissman hit a one out double to left center before advancing to third on a single to center field off the bat of Stone, who also advanced to second on the throw.
The Sycamores then got on the board when freshman Rylee Holland reached on a fielders choice where the Bears were unable to record an out. Junior Ashley Dickerson then laid down a squeeze to score stone and reach first base safely. Carpenter then loaded the bases with an infield single before Holland scored when Allee drew a bases loaded walk to give the Sycamores a 3-0 lead.
Missouri State got its lone hit of the game in the bottom of the second when Chelsea Jones hit a leadoff double.
The Sycamores added one more run in the top of the fifth when Wilson drew a one out walk and freshman Leah Salmon pinch ran. Salmon advanced to second on a sacrifice by Riemenschneider before Crissman hit a doulbe down the left field line to score Salmon and make it 4-0 Sycamores.
Alvarez then closed out the game for the Sycamores, throwing the complete game, one-hitter with four strikeouts to earn her 14th win of the season.
The finale of the three-game series is set to start at 1 p.m. EST on Sunday in Springfield, Mo.

Chiesa sworn in as NJ senator; 6 on ballot for special election
Four Democrats and two Republicans are in the special election to fill the U.S. Senate seat that opened when Frank Lautenberg died last week.
The Republicans are Somerset physician Alieta Eck and former Bogota Mayor Steve Lonegan.
Newark Mayor Cory Booker, Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver and Reps. Frank Pallone and Rush Holt all filed papers to enter the Democratic race.
The deadline to get on the ballot for the Oct. 16 election was 4 p.m. Monday.
Meanwhile, the man Gov. Chris Christie appointed to fill Lautenberg's seat until the special election, Jeffrey Chiesa, took the oath of office on Capitol Hill on Monday.
The 47-year-old Republican is a longtime Christie colleague. He won't run in the special election to complete the term, which expires in January 2015.
Chiesa is the first Republican senator from New Jersey since another fill-in back in 1982.
With Chiesa's arrival, the Senate has 52 Democrats, 46 Republicans and two independents who often vote with the Democrats.

LANSING — While the Upper Peninsula may get the shaft when it's left off some U.S. maps, Michiganders seem to appreciate the natural beauty found in the northern part of the state.
Eight of the top 10 finalists in Pure Michigan's photo contest were taken in the U.P. They featured stunning vistas of the Great Lakes, waterfalls, light houses and other gems.
"Certainly we have a lot of the treasures in our state located in the Upper Peninsula," said Michelle Grinnell, spokesperson for Pure Michigan, the state's tourism campaign run by the Michigan Economic Development Corp.
Pure Michigan chose Carla White's shot of a Lake Superior sunset in Christmas, Mich. as the winning photo to be featured on the 2014 spring/summer Pure Michigan Travel Guide.

The photo received the 10th-most votes. It was chosen over others as the one that was best suited for the spring/summer guide, Grinnell said.
White, 40, moved from the Jackson area to Christmas about a year and a half ago. The small U.P. town is located just west of Munising near the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. She said her co-workers at Alger Correctional Facility were excited for the U.P. to get some attention with her winning photo.
"A lot of people don't realize how beautiful Michigan really is, and how beautiful the Upper Peninsula is, it's a very remote place but it's the best place to live," she said.
Take a look at the rest of the top 10 photos in the gallery above, and check out other entries on the Pure Michigan Facebook page.

I recently had a chance to talk with East Pennsboro High School Quarterback Austin Wilson (Class of 2013) about what he's been up to so far this offseason and his plans for the future. When asked about his recruiting situation, Wilson said, "Right now, Eastern Michigan said they would most likely offer me this April. I'm also getting significant interest from Maryland, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Bowling Green, Central Michigan, Rutgers, Delaware, Towson, and Pitt". Wilson threw for almost 2,000 yards and 20 touchdowns in his first full-year as a starter.
At 6'3", 190 pounds, Wilson plans on showing off his talent in the upcoming months. He would like to make his commitment by the start of the 2012 season. "I plan to hit up Pittsburgh, Towson, Delaware, Maryland (3rd visit), Rutgers, and the Elite 11 camp", Wilson said.
In the meantime, Wilson plans on working on different aspects of his game including his speed and reading defenses. "I feel as though I'm a natural leader", he said. "I try and make all the players around me better which I feel is important as a quarterback. I want my team to grow with me because we're a young team, but we have the talent to be great."

Iowans saw the nation's economy as the top issue as they voted in Tuesday's elections, and it's clear that they think it ought to be better than it is right now, according to preliminary results from exit polling for The Associated Press.
More than half of Iowa voters said the economy is the top issue facing the country. And the deficit was the top issue for almost one-fifth of voters, the second-biggest group. Their other choices were foreign policy and health care.
By a two-to-one ratio, Iowa voters said the condition of the nation's economy is "not so good" or "poor."
Article Photos
Voters cast their ballots on Election Day at Waterloo City Hall Tuesday in Waterloo.
Hannah Risinger, a 19-year-old student at Drake University in Des Moines, said economic issues were key to her decision to vote for Republican Mitt Romney. Her older brother graduated three years ago with a degree in chemical engineering, but he's working as a waiter. "That's upsetting to me," she said.
Obama deserves credit for the death of Osama bin Laden, said Jay Doehrmann, 46, who lives in Williamsburg in eastern Iowa and stocks shelves at a grocery store.
"He's trying to get people back to work," he said. "It's a long process and it can't happen overnight."
Iowa is being watched closely. With only six electoral votes, it's no Ohio or Pennsylvania on the electoral college map. But Romney's strategy hinged on preventing President Barack Obama from sweeping Iowa along with Ohio and Wisconsin.
Both candidates and their running mates spent a lot of time in Iowa. At one point over the summer, Obama was in Iowa for three days in a row. Romney and Obama held competing rallies in Dubuque on Saturday, and Romney was in Des Moines on Sunday.
Obama closed out his 2012 campaign with a rally in Des Moines on Monday night. It was a return to where his political surge began in 2008 when his campaign was energized by his surprise Iowa caucus win over Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Since then, the U.S. has been through a recession and a disappointing recovery. Things are better in Iowa, where the unemployment rate was 5.2 percent in September, below the national average at that time of 7.8 percent. But the economy is sluggish there like in most other places.
Commercial real estate appraiser Brett Blanchfield, 37, of Des Moines, voted for Romney because of his view on taxes.
"My company is based on economic productivity," he said. "I've seen a massive slowdown."
Romney's tax plan - he and Obama differ on whether to raise federal income taxes in higher brackets - is exactly what worries 60-year-old Lorene Dykstra, a teacher and former high school principal in Ventura in north-central Iowa.
"I think Romney is in it for wealthier people," she said. If he wins, "I think our tax structure is going to get turned upside down."
The survey of 2,552 Iowa voters was conducted for AP and the television networks by Edison Research. This includes preliminary results from interviews conducted as voters left a random sample of 45 precincts statewide Tuesday, as well as 502 who voted early or absentee and were interviewed by landline or cellular telephone from Oct. 26 through Nov. 3. Results for the full sample were subject to sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points; it is higher for subgroups.

Further Details
|The heritability of obesity and body weight in general is high. A small number of confirmed monogenic forms of obesity—the respective mutations are sufficient by themselves to cause the condition in food abundant societies—have been identified by molecular genetic studies. The elucidation of these genes, mostly based on animal and family studies, has led to the identification of important pathways to the disorder and thus to a deeper understanding of the regulation of body weight. The identification of inborn deficiency of the mostly adipocyte-derived satiety hormone leptin in extremely obese children from consanguineous families paved the way to the first pharmacological therapy for obesity based on a molecular genetic finding. The genetic predisposition to obesity for most individuals, however, has a polygenic basis. A polygenic variant by itself has a small effect on the phenotype; only in combination with other predisposing variants does a sizeable phenotypic effect arise. Common variants in the first intron of the 'fat mass and obesity associated' gene (FTO) result in an elevated body mass index (BMI) equivalent to approximately +0.4 kg/m² per risk allele. The FTO variants were originally detected in a genome wide association study (GWAS) pertaining to type 2 diabetes mellitus. Large meta-analyses of GWAS have subsequently identified additional polygenic variants. Up to December 2009, polygenic variants have been confirmed in a total of 17 independent genomic regions. Further study of genetic effects on human body weight regulation should detect variants that will explain a larger proportion of the heritability. The development of new strategies for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of obesity can be anticipated.

The James Franklin era, which brought three straight bowl trips for the first time in school history, is now over at Vanderbilt. The question in Nashville now is whether the Commodores can build upon that success under new coach Derek Mason, or whether they'll slip back into their old conference doormat role.
Against that backdrop, here are three burning questions facing the 'Dores as they open spring drills on Tuesday:
How much do you mess with a good thing?
Until Franklin, no one had landed upon a formula to build a consistent winner at Vanderbilt since Dan McGugin's tenure in 1904-34. But Franklin is at Penn State now and into the void steps Mason, the former Stanford defensive coordinator.
All head coaches have their own styles and want to put their own stamps on their programs. And Franklin rankled some in Nashville on his way out by the wholesale raiding of his own recruiting class, convincing five Vandy commitments to follow him to Penn State.
We should get our first glimpse this spring into just how much Mason plans to diverge from Franklin's successful formula. He got a good start by salvaging the signing class, landing 13 commitments in the final four days before signing day, including a former Stanford commit he convinced to follow him east -- four-star defensive end commit Nifae Lealao.
Who will step up in the passing game?
Jordan Matthews shattered practically every school receiving record, setting new SEC career records for receptions and yardage and leading the conference in 2013 with 112 catches for 1,477 yards and seven touchdowns. Jonathan Krause was the only other Commodore to catch more than 20 balls, finishing with 42 receptions for 714 yards and three scores. Austyn Carta-Samuels threw for 2,268 yards and 11 touchdowns despite missing three games with injuries.
All three are gone. Patton Robinette started three games in relief of Carta-Samuels in 2013 and will compete with rising sophomore Johnny McCrary for the job. There is very little experience at receiver, where rising sophomore Jordan Cunningham is the only returning wide-out who had more than five catches (15).
How much 3-4 will the Commodores use and how will they rebuild the secondary?
Mason is expected to transition the Commodores' defense to a 3-4 like he used at Stanford, but he insists it'll be a multiple scheme that could change week to week.
His greatest challenge, however, will be replacing all four starters in a secondary that was a team strength -- including second-team All-SEC cornerback Andre Hal, who led the conference in passes defended (18), and first-team AP All-SEC safety Kenny Ladler, who led the Commodores in tackles (91) and interceptions (5).
This year's young secondary will be coached for former New Orleans Saints safety and Tennessee Titans defensive assistant Brett Maxie. Paris Head, who had three picks last year, and Andrew Williamson, who had two, are the top returners and the incoming recruiting class is secondary-heavy, with two cornerbacks and four safeties, including four-star Emmanuel Smith of Murfreesboro.

How can Spondylolisthesis be Treated?
Treatment of spondylolisthesis depends upon the severity of the condition. Milder conditions can be treated with exercises and physiotherapy, while surgery is recommended for the extreme conditions.
Spondylolisthesis is treated with the following:
The patient is asked to avoid activities, which can put stress on the lower back.
Painkillers such as ibuprofen and naproxen reduce the lower back pain and inflammation of the muscles. Epidural cortisone injections are recommended for patients who do not benefit with NSAIDS.
Back brace or back support may also help in reducing the pain by restricting back movement.
Most of the patients benefit from physiotherapy. These exercises strengthen the back and abdominal muscles and minimize bony movement of the spine.
Periodic X-rays are necessary to determine any improvement or worsening of the condition.
Surgical treatment is recommended for severe conditions which cannot be treated with a non-surgical procedure, and if the nerve compression is causing severe symptoms. There are two kinds of surgical procedures followed to treat spondylolisthesis.
Decompressive laminectomy: In this surgical procedure the part of the bone pressing on the nerves is removed.
Spinal fusion: In this surgical procedure, the lower lumbar vertebrae are fused to the sacrum, thereby providing stability to the lower back.
Spondylolisthesis Prevention
Some steps that could prevent the development of spondylolisthesis are:
Perform stretching and strengthening exercises of the lower back and the abdominal muscles, which help support and stabilize the lower back.
Avoid sports or activities that can stress the lower back.
Switch to a healthy diet to maintain a healthy weight. This will help to put less pressure on the lower back and maintain healthy bones.

Tourism Ireland is set to target more than eight million Londoners this month promoting Ireland as a hassle-free holiday from the Olympic games.
The 'Escape The Madness' ad campaign from Tourism Ireland will target Londoners by presenting the island of Ireland as the ideal 'escape' destination during this busy time. This represents the first phase of a €0.5m campaign to promote Irish tourism during the Olympics.
Minister of State for Tourism & Sport Michael Ring explained "While the Olympics will be a very exciting time in London, the event will inevitably draw huge crowds. Commuting and day-to-day life will become that bit more hectic for Londoners. Around 18 million extra journeys will be taken on the London underground between the opening ceremony on July 27th and the closing ceremony on September 9th.
"The Government, and Tourism Ireland, are using this opportunity to present the island of Ireland as the ideal escape destination during this busy time."
Niall Gibbons, chief executive of Tourism Ireland, said "This summer's Olympic Games present a unique opportunity to showcase the island of Ireland. With a global audience of about 4 billion, this is the largest sporting event in the world and Tourism Ireland intends to maximise the tourism potential for Ireland of the games. The proximity of the games in London provides Tourism Ireland with a wonderful opportunity to showcase Ireland as a top holiday and business destination."
Ads will run on the London underground, highlighting the open spaces and lack of congestion in Ireland. Over 200 large ads will appear at different tube stations across the city, targeting frustrated commuters during morning and evening rush hours.

Gay Marriage Bans Makes Natalie Portman Uneasy
Natalie Portman takes aim at marriage in this month's In Style.
The 26-year old, Israel born actress tells the monthly magazine that she's "not convinced" she wants to marry, partly because of laws banning gay marriage:
I'm not convinced about marriage. Divorce is so easy, and that fact that gay people are not allowed to marry takes much of the meaning out of it. … Committing yourself to one person is sacred.
Wouldn't it be nice if politicians took Portman's words to heart? If only celebrities were the super-heroes they make themselves out to be…
Comments like that might make me forget the whole Padme Amidala disaster…
Yikes at that picture. Girl needs to eat a cheeseburger!
Um, no, MaCauley Culkin was married to Rachel Miner, not Natalie Portman.
thanks, Ash, I get these underfed young Jewish actresses mixed up :)
i love her
Natalie is already my favorite actress and totally awesome, and though it's barely possible to be any more awesome, this does it.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
You're right, God will judge you … and you will burn for all eternity.
So, riddle me this batman, what is Paul talking about here?
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God

I can't really think of any Sprites that need to be uploaded, you could always ask Winxfan if he needs help finding sprites. You could also just keep uploading Generation V Pokemon sprites for later. Crimsonnavy (Talk·Contributions) 22:06, March 24, 2011 (UTC)
Its okay just don't do it again. Also you can customize your own signature by going to "my preferences"

Yeah most of the articles on here are lacking in their learnsets.

You've got to kiss a lot of toads before you meet a real prince.
That's what they say anyway.
I'm thinking that philosophy goes for getting through October to get to all the Christmas shows on television. To get to Christmas, you've got to get through Halloween, and though I dearly love Halloween, I cannot and will not watch scary shows on television.
Call me a wuss if you will, but I see nothing to be gained by scaring the by-jeepers out of myself. Nothing at all.
Those shows have already started. "The Haunting in Connecticut." "The Amityville Horror." Freddie whats-his-bucket. I've never seen one of the Elm Street movies, nor will I ever agree to such. And I used to live on Elm Street. A ripple in reality there.
It may have started back in 1960. I was 13. My world offered little more than chasing cows that broke through the fence or raking hay for Dad or rearranging furniture in the house when it was my turn to clean the living room.
I'd lived through the pain of watching the rendering truck guy shoot my favorite cow right between the eyes because she was so sick, and I'd cried my heart dry when my first 4-H calf turned around and came out of the truck hauling him to slaughter. They buzzed him with a cattle prod, and he bellowed. So did I.
But none of that readied my mind for "Psycho."
In her infinite wisdom, my mother took me to that movie. I have three sisters, but none of them went. Mom said she couldn't go alone, so for some reason that still mystifies me, I went with her. I still hate showers.
Commercials for scary shows even hurt. I turn on the mute and shut my eyes, counting slowly to 30 before opening them again. Sometimes I count too quickly.
This is the one time of the year that I really wish my life away by wanting the time over.
Many other times, I'd like to turn back the clock. Not always, but some. Like Oct. 20. That's a Saturday. On that day, the Sentimental Swing band led by Tom Steinkoenig will play for a dance at the Laurens Country Club.
I'd like to turn back the clock so I could dance, so I don't have to worry about severe wobbling. I've always loved to dance, even though it was impossible to get my husband to do so. We took dancing lessons once, but after that, he refused to go dancing. That's not how it was supposed to be.
Anyway, Sentimental Swing will play from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Country Club, sponsored by the Laurens-Marathon speech department at the high school. Nancy and Ken Kunickis are in charge there. Good people, they are. Good friends.
Dance tickets will be available at the door at $10 a person. Tickets are also available in advance at the Treasure Chest, Rumors Pub, Ressler Drug and Dallenbach Insurance or by calling (712) 841-4602.
This Harvest Ball should chase the scariness of October away.
So long friends, until the next time when we're together.
Sandy Mickelson, retired lifestyle editor of The Messenger, may be reached at email@example.com.

Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary
Kuala Gandah elephant sanctuary is one of the most perfect places on earth, and not just because i was a volunteer there for a number of months, but because you actually get the chance, as a visiter to interact with an elephant, feed it, wash it and ride it. Mentopyan and Mawar (the two elephants you ride and wash) are both very friendly and Mawar...more
Kampong Lanchang Restaurants
Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary: Halal Nasi Goreng dishes
The restaurant doen't really have a name because it is just a cafe at the Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary.
It does however, serve Malaysian dishes including Nasi Goreng Ayam (chicken). The food is simple but very tasty.
Because this is a Muslim community, the food here is completely halal and there was no alcohol available.Related to:

- Family Travel
- National/State Park
Kampong Lanchang Transportation
MM's Merc
There are a few ways to get to Kampong Lanchang which includes buses and taxis that leave regularly from KL's Puduraya bus station.
Our transport came as a part of a package deal, departing from our accommodation in KL, with MM Adventures to the Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary.
Because there was only myself and my two teenage kids we travelled there in Mike's gold Mercedes. Michael is the owner of MM Adventures and will use either a mini van or his own Merc depending on the tour numbers.Related to:

Kampong Lanchang Local Customs
Lemang is a traditional food which is cooked over a wood fire in a hollowed bamboo stick lined with banana leaf to prevent the rice from sticking to the bamboo. It is made of glutinous rice and coconut milk, with salt added for taste. In kampung life, it was popular to prepare lemang in advance because it kept relatively well inside the bamboo...more
Durian, the king of fruit
Before heading to Malaysia, I challenged my travel companions to take the durian taste test. They both agreed so on our return from the Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary I asked Michael, the owner and our tour guide, if it would be possible to stop somewhere so that we could sample some fresh durian. Because it was in season, he agreed readily to...more

Kampong Lanchang What to Pack
T'shirt and shorts

Tshirt and shorts for swimming....
As it is in the middle of the jungle and is still very conservative, it is asked that if you would like to swim with the elephants a minimum of tshirt and shorts are worn. No Bikinis please! Bring a good one as you'll guarantee to take lots of pictures of the beautiful creatures...more
Kampong Lanchang General
MM Adventure Services
Favorite thing: While searching the internet for tour operators in Malaysia to take me and my kids on day excursions I did find quite a few including MM Adventures.
I sent a number of emails to various operators to enquire about their tours and services. Some responded but most failed to adequately answer my many questions except for Michael.
After sending a lot of emails to Michael, the owner of MM Aventures, I made the decision to book three separate day trips from KL including White Water Rafting, Caving, the Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary and the Fireflies at Kuala Selangor.
Michael even called me on the phone at home one Sunday morning to answer some of my many questions.
I made a wise choice in booking because Michael was generous with sharing his wealth of local knowledge and making it easy for us to experience local foods and customs of all the places we visited.
MM Adventure Services will definitely be my choice of tour operator when I return to Malaysia. Check out Michael's website, which he constructed, for the many tours available with MM Adventure Services.
Fondest memory: Michael made many impromptu stops to sample freshly cut fruits in season including the infamous king of fruits, the durian. As well as trying various roti breads with curry dipping sauces washed down with a hot teh tarik, an aerated tea sweetened with condensed milk.
We also made a stop at a roadside stall for some lemang , which is a traditional food cooked in a hollowed bamboo stick lined with banana leaf to prevent the rice from sticking to the bamboo. The bamboo is split while you wait and the moist, firm roll of rice is cut into bite sized pieces and then dipped in tasty sauces not unlike a rendang sauce.Related to:

Harry Clayton Nelson answered God's call to a new home and to eternal life on August 19, 2011 surrounded by his family. Harry took great pride in his work in the construction industry.
Harry worked for many years at the Monteleone Hotel in the French Quarter. Many may remember and envy the Aft Deck bar at the Monteleone hotel. This was a large portion of a ship brought in to implement an entertainment venue for the Monteleone. Harry was quite proud of the Aft Deck Bar which he and his crew built. He built "Anything Goes", a unique restaurant in the French Quarter years ago. He also supervised the construction of a Ruby Tuesday's restaurant in the Lakeside Mall, which is now a P.F. Chang's. Although Harry was quiet and reserved, he possessed unmatched wit, humor, and wisdom. He was loved by everyone who had the pleasure to meet him. He was always honest, truthful, and unwavering in his ideals.

It's no secret that in Washington State, residents are exposed to a wide variety of adverse weather conditions that change within a few minutes time, with little or no notice. Due to the fluctuating climate of what residents and our cars are exposed to daily, what you choose to drive is important. While most areas of Western Washington see little or no snow regularly in the winter, there are many cities in which snow fall is the reality of daily life. Regardless of what area in Washington State you reside in, its important to select a car based on the climate and daily driving conditions you will experience along with your requirements and preferences.
The type of used car you select should depend on a few categories including vehicle requirements, preferences, efficiency, and budget.
If you have children or a family, it's important to consider the activities they will want to participate in and how much space your vehicle should have for gear and road trips. For single working professionals, you may want a smaller more classic car for commuting with gas mileage that won't break the bank for your trips into the city. When it comes to seniors and students, reliability and efficiency is key in order to get you from place to place with comfort. Whatever stage in life you may be in at the time of your car purchase, there is a quality used vehicle out there that suits your vehicle demands perfectly.
If there were an official state car brand of Washington, it would with no argument be the Subaru. Subaru, with its all wheel drive system is perfect for any unforeseen and adverse weather conditions or terrain that you can throw at it. Subaru offers a wide range of vehicles perfect for any lifestyle including the WRX, Outback, and Forester. Targeting the outdoor enthusiast, there are no lack of Subaru customers located in the Western Washington area. All Subaru models are equipped with all wheel drive and are built to last, making them the ideal used car to purchase in our area which retain their used car value very well.
While new BMWs are not always affordable to the average car customer, used options are plentiful. The BMW known for superior build quality, performance, comfort, and styling is highly sought after in the city and are just as nice as the brand new options. "There is a wide selection of quality pre- owned BMW's on the market today that are much more affordable than their new car counterparts" says Mike Carson with Carson Cars. Carson Cars, a family owned and operated dealership, has been in business since 1968 and was voted in 2011, 2012, and 2013 as the Best Independent Car Dealer of Western Washington.
"BMW's are built to last for a long time and look good while doing it. As one of the world's leading automakers, BMW is known to manufacture cars that offer superior levels of driver gratification and luxury." BMW's uphold their resale value with used options that include technology features that most new cars of other makes don't even provide.
There are many parts of Washington outside of city limits (and some even inside city limits) that consist of farms and farmland. Down the unpaved dirt or rock roads, reside barns and functional farms to which these residents call home. It is not uncommon as a Washington resident to live on a farm, own cattle, milk your own cows, and run a family business out of your very own ranch. This particular lifestyle requires a very specific vehicle to handle your towing and hauling requirements…a truck. The Ford F150 is the number one selling truck in America, and used F150's are extremely popular and sought after. Due to their extreme towing ability, bed space, and capability to drive anywhere..the F150 is the "go to " truck for Washington Residents who desire towing power and reliability.
As diverse as the demographic and weather is in Washington State, there are a large variety of used vehicles on the market today to suit any need. Purchasing a used car in Washington State over a new vehicle is almost always a smarter decision, with a much wider variety of inventory to select from, its much more likely you will find the perfect car to suit your requirements at a price you can afford.

My name is Aaron Feldman and I am the CEO / Founder of True Photography Weddings. I started True Photography 12 years ago, after graduating from Brooks Institute of Photography. At first, I began photographing alone. I would shoot weddings, do the marketing to bring in more business, retouch the images, process the accounting, and build albums. Although my clients were happy, I found that I was spread too thin to accomplish everything effectively. I would start a retouch project and then leave immediately to photograph a wedding... Then I would come home and have an album to complete. I wanted to produce the highest level of happy for my clients as well as myself, and I realized that big changes needed to be made. Fast-forward ten years, and many refinements. Today, True Photography Weddings is made up of a very small, hand-picked team of talented individuals. Not a photo factory. We are people who love to photograph and are dedicated to creating amazing images for your wedding day. We share a common vision of what we feel good wedding photography should be. This has taken years to refine, and we continue to grow together as creative artists. With the technical expertise, and innovative mindset of our team, there are no limits to what we can produce.

please can someone help me with a sample code of medical image segmentation by the method of marking points around the region to be segmented..... i marked few points around the region but dont know how to proceed.... please could someone reply.....
Use roipoly() or roipolyold() and then poly2mask().
sir if u can please go thru the image below...
from that image i want to segment each organs like liver, right kidney etc... whatever i mark.... with roipoly() function how can i mark the portion i want to segment.... please reply sir....
I thought you were using ginput(), roipoly(), or roipolyold(). All of those can do it. Did you try them? I'm not sure what you want. Do you need an example of how to use them? (Keep in mind that we're not going to write an automatic medical image segmentation application for you - that's way way too much to ask of us.)
sir roipolyold()function is working sir.... but one thing when we select a portion that part is being cut from the image... i wanted to display that selected part in a figure... is it possible sir....
I=imread('abdo-ct-norm.jpg'); BW = ROIPOLYOLD(I); imshow(BW);
using the above code the portion i selected will be display in white color and the remaining portion of the figure is black.... i wanted the region i selected to be displayed as it appears in input image and the remaining portion deleted.... that is like cutting a portion from a figure and pasting it in another figure.... please can u help me..

Ahmed commented "mask by hand".
Unfortunately the comment does not appear to have enough context to be actionable.
Is it possible to use imcrop function to crop image in arbitrary shape, that is not necessary to be rectangle.
Not with imcrop(), but with imfreehand() you can. See attached demos.
Thank you sir i found yours this algorithm / explanation very much helpful regarding my work to define ROI of a medical image and then get it as a separate image.
Hi, I would like to know why the size or the rectangle"BW" and "hpoly" are different in the following similar case
x = [4 10 10 4 4]; y = [4 4 10 10 4]; BW = poly2mask(x,y,20,20); %binary image
%% B = bwboundaries(BW); b = B{1}; X = b(:, 1); Y = b(:, 2); hpoly = roipoly(BW,Y,X); %% figure, imshow(BW) figure, imshow(hpoly)
Any idea?
Thank you.
This doesn't seem to be related to Elysi's original question, so please post this as your own question in a separate discussion.
