Apparently this example used to work in Firefox 4.
(In reply to Robert Longson from comment #0)
> Apparently this example used to work in Firefox 4.
Confirmed -- in Firefox 4, the parallelogram snaps to a rounded square after 3 seconds.
This apparently depends on the very small dur="0.0001s" attribute.
If I increase that to 0.1, then the animation succeeds.
Last good nightly: 2011-04-19
First bad nightly: 2011-04-20
which points to bug 651036
Created attachment 603850 [details]
testcase 1 (no red should be visible)
Created attachment 603851 [details]
reference case 1
Here's a reference case, which exactly matches the just-attached testcase except that the animation's duration is marginally longer (0.001s instead of 0.0001s).
(That's all the poking I'm going to do on this for now -- if someone else wants to take this and figure out what's going wrong, please be my guest! :))
This is a known issue with our implementation of frozen to-animation. The way frozen to-animation is defined is really counter-intuitive. See:
To support this properly, you need to set a milestone when the frozen animation ends, and actually sample the animation value then. Currently we set milestones, by we only sample the timing model at these times, not the animation values.
For frozen to-animations we currently just use the last sampled value before the animation got frozen. So if the sample rate is not fast enough, or you do a sync, you'll get the wrong result. Hence this bug.
I'd really like to change this behaviour. It's not just that it's hard to implement, but counter-intuitive.
I proposed this on www-svg:
But I didn't have the stamina to see it through.
I think we should just align with Opera here as I think it does what authors expect.
So this is a duplicate of bug 658189 which also has animations with a small duration.
Feel free to undup if I got this wrong.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 658189 ***
(In reply to Robert Longson from comment #9)
> Feel free to undup if I got this wrong.
Yeah, the symptoms are very similar. However, bug 658189 doesn't have any frozen to-animations so it doesn't appear to be the same root cause. It's a shame because I'm still not sure what the cause is behind bug 658189.
(There's still a remote chance this is a dupe, if, for example, the <set> animations in that bug are using some of the frozen to-animation code but from memory that's not the case.)
I've looked into this and actually what I think is happening is that, since we store times as integers representing milliseconds, dur="0.0001s" is represented as 0 and dur="0.001s" is represented as 1.
Now, SMIL says that the duration must be non-zero. If it is zero it is an error, and if there is an error, we should behave as if the duration was indefinite.
Under the previous discrete to-animation behaviour, where we never visited the underlying value, an indefinite duration would still end up showing the to-value. With the behaviour implemented in bug 651036--where we visit both the underlying value and the to-value--we'll just get stuck on the first value.
I'm not really sure what we ought to do here. It comes down to the precision used for representing times.
I still want to change what we do for frozen to-animation (I have a patch for it) but that's a separate bug.
We could store times as doubles perhaps?
(In reply to Robert Longson from comment #12)
> We could store times as doubles perhaps?
Yeah, I've been trying to avoid that since it's a big change that might introduce bugs (or more likely, test regressions) due to floating-point errors. I'm not sure if this bug warrants the change.
An alternative is to store times as integer number of microseconds which would still give us a range of +/- 292,263 years.
Filed bug 755603 for fixing the frozen to-animation behaviour.

By Deirdre Donahue, USA TODAY
Other than high-powered law offices and low-rent police stations, the workplace is the last unexplored frontier in fiction.
Joseph Finder has been the exception. With his two recent best sellers, Paranoia and Company Man, Finder has captured how office politics can generate all the emotions you expect in a thriller: fear, anxiety, jealousy, hatred, revenge, guilt. With Company Man, Finder actually centered the plot on the manufacture of office furniture.
In his new business thriller, Killer Instinct, Finder examines the reality of being a salesman, specifically someone who sells fancy plasma screens. Smart, funny and likable, Jason Steadman is a 30-year-old sales executive living outside Boston. He has a good job, but his wife wants him on the CEO track.
The best part of Killer Instinct emerges from Finder's ability to convey how much rejection salespeople get and how they must continually pump themselves up to stay positive and close the deal.
Unfortunately, Killer Instinct lacks the intricate plotting of the earlier books. Jason teams up with an ex-Special Forces veteran, and suddenly very bad things start happening to Jason's enemies at work. What at first seems like a fantasy right out of Dilbert turns into a Faustian nightmare. The veteran begins to resemble an unstoppable cubicle Terminator.
Bottom line: good Finder, not great Finder.

With 54.6 million young Africans now vaccinated against deadly meningitis A in six countries, the Meningitis Vaccine Project—a partnership between PATH and the World Health Organization—has plans under way to reach four new countries with the MenAfriVac™ vaccine by the end of 2012.
Benin, Ghana, Senegal, and Sudan are preparing for their first round of vaccination campaigns to be held later this year. Cameroon, Chad, and Nigeria are preparing for the second phase of their vaccination campaigns after the successful launch of MenAfriVac™ in those countries in December 2011. Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger completed their national vaccination programs in 2010 and 2011.
Each campaign brings us closer to our goal—eliminating epidemic meningitis as a public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa. To date, there have been no reported cases of group A meningococcal meningitis among individuals who received the vaccine. In countries that have introduced MenAfriVac™ at large scale, scientists continue to monitor meningitis activity and vaccine effectiveness.
Building on these successes, clinical trials in The Gambia, Ghana, Mali, and Senegal are helping to build the evidence base for the safe use of MenAfriVac™ and to investigate the level and duration of the protection it offers against disease. These data will also be important in future efforts to seek regulatory approval for the vaccine to be used in infants. This, in turn, would open the door to integrating the vaccine into routine childhood vaccination schedules.
By 2016, it is expected that 320 million people in 25 African countries will have received this lifesaving vaccine. Over the next decade, MenAfriVac™ has the potential to prevent 1 million cases of illness and save 150,000 lives and $300 million in medical costs.

At the stop at Witch's Gulch, the walk on the concrete path through unique rock formations was very interesting. I...
Lovely scenic ride on the Upper Dells, with two well-timed stops to explore the Witches Gulch and to see the dog jump at Stand Rock. Tour guides were knowledgeable and funny.
We took this two hour tour right at the end of the season and were very happy with the choice. The boat was comfortable, the guide and crew friendly and informative. The two stops broke up the trip nicely and the photo ops were great.
We were in Wisconsin for a family wedding and took time out to enjoy this trip up the river. The autumn leaves were not at their absolute peak but there was plenty of color which made this a very beautiful trip. Our tour guide Gabriel was wonderful and the boat captain (Kate?) was fantastic.
We chose the two hour boat tour with the two stops. This was our second time doing the tour and neither time disappointed. Breathtaking scenery and perfect weather, especially in the spring or fall. The guides are informative and friendly. They used to tell corny jokes but now it seems to have gotten better. I would definitely recommend for adults....
Have driven by the Dells so many times on our way to visit our daughter's and family. Finally stopped and took the Upper boat tour. It was wonderful.

fall is the best time. not too cold and the colors were unbelievable. couple fun stops and watching the dog jump the rock was cool. our guide gabriel was informative and enjoyable.
We went on this trip in mid October the weather was beautiful and the sights were also beautiful. We enjoyed the stops especially the one with the dog that jumps across the cliff. The guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. It is great for all ages. We were on the top and would do it again.
If one is going to the Wisconsin Dells, this is a must do. If gives you a true concept of how and why the Wisconsin Dells exist - not just as a tourist area. We took both the Upper and Lower tours. They offer two distinct types of scenery. The tour guide was informative and knowledgeable. We would recommend that...

Five Herbs to Improve Your Dog's Health
Herbs for Common Dog Ailments
Herbs have long been used to treat and prevent ailments in people, and apart from smelling good and adding an extra something to your cooking, certain herbs can help out your dog, too. Here are five that are very likely to help you save a few bucks on vet visits -- and saving money is always a good thing.
1. Aloe Vera
This spiky leafed herb's medicinal value has been appreciated since ancient times. You'll be glad to know it's also good for your dog. Aloe Vera can be either applied topically -- using the natural gel in the leaves as a treatment for burns, scrapes, and minor irritations -- or given internally to help with conditions such as gas, constipation, and infections.
2. Calendula Flowers
The bright and sunny flowers of this easy-growing herb may be used to treat cuts, scrapes and wounds, both on you and your dog. The flower petals, meanwhile, can be applied directly as a wound dressing, or made into a tea to be used as an antiseptic wash. The antiseptic quality of the herb helps prevent bacterial growth, which is good news for your dog and bad news for the bacteria.
3. Ginger
We're not talking about the movie star stranded on Gilligan's Island, but the herb. Not only is the root of the ginger herb delicious, but it's been highly prized for centuries as a medicinal herb. It can be made into a tea or tincture, and is excellent at settling a doggy's upset tummy.
4. Goldenseal
Sadly, goldenseal has nothing to do with gold, seals, or even a magical seal made out of gold (that would just be silly). This herb is a powerful antibiotic that prevents the bacteria from latching onto the cell walls. It can be used as a tincture, tea, or wash for dogs with eye infections or weepy eyes. It's also useful in treating stomach and bowel ailments.
5. Milk Thistle
Milk thistle protects the liver against damage and also improves liver function. In fact, it's an important extract to use if your dog has been on any medicine that may affect the liver.
Before You Go-Go
Of course, with any treatment, herbal or otherwise, make sure you consult your vet prior to treatment. Like you, your dog should benefit from these natural wellness boosters, but only under professional supervision. Happy herb growing!

WHAT??? Aloe Vera is extremely poisonous to dogs! Do not apply topically to a place he might be able to lick it (if you have doubts on if he can reach it, don't use it at all!). And internally? It may help his gas and infections, but it won't matter if he's dead. Just sayin.
Herbs can be beneficial in some cases, but it should not distract from things such as Diet, Exercise ect.
If you really want to improve your dogs health take a look at this article:
[url=I recently wrote an article on how to increase the overall lifespan of your dog which may be useful to some of your readers http://petpalsdogtraining.com/dog-life-span/ Hope this helps]Dog Life Span - How To Increase Your Dogs Life Expectancy[/url]
It goes into great detail on how to improve the overall life expectancy of your dog and covers important issues such as Diet, Exercise, Dental Care and Living Conditions
Hope This benefits some of your readers
All the best!

Morning all
Last weekend I realised that I was spending too much time on the forum reading and chatting rather than being outside doing, so I decided to have a bit of a break and just look in occasionally. It has taken me quite some time to even find you all to say hello.
I agree with Pdoc about a mass exodus
Enjoy the nice weather peeps.

Interactive Exhibit Will Let You Explore Film and TV Cars Inside and Out
There may not be a geek heaven, but one fan is looking to build the next closest thing. If things go according to plan, Hollywood, Calif. will get its own science fiction museum in the next few years, which would include an exhibit dedicated to movie cars.
The project is being spearheaded by television writer and super-fan Huston Huddleston. His journey started off as a quest to find somewhere to put the bridge of the starship Enterprise-D, which he had saved with help from "Star Trek: The Next Generation" cast and crew members, along with other fans. When he realized there was no museum in the world dedicated to science fiction — let alone one big enough to house his massive bridge set — Huddleston set out to build his own. Along the way, he's recruited some big names to help him. Sitting on the museum's board of directors are the former writers and producers behind such shows as "Star Trek," "Battlestar Galactica," and "Firefly," and movies like "Back to the Future," "Iron Man," and "Terminator." Huddleston and crew will call their museum, not surprisingly, The Hollywood Sci-Fi Museum. The plan is to open a preview museum in Hollywood by 2015, with a permanent location to be built by 2018, but there are some significant hurdles that need to be overcome before the museum can become a reality.
If things do come together by 2018, we might see something like the concept renderings shown here. The so-called Hall of Cars will house all manner of wheeled vehicles from movies and television — and they won't be limited to just sci-fi. The museum will take what it can get from people willing to donate or loan movie cars, but perhaps more interesting than the screen-used originals are the "kid-proof," interactive replicas Huddleston has planned.
"Every exhibit in our museum will be split into two different categories: the things you can touch and the things you can't touch," Huddleston said. "The ones you can't obviously are the screen-used ones because they weren't meant to be touched…most of them are made out of cardboard or material that wasn't meant to be handled or sat in. Since most of those originals are either long gone or in collectors' hands, the bulk of what we will have will be 1:1 absolute replicas, because we want people to actually be able to sit in these cars, play with the buttons, and there will be programing that will talk to people [about the cars]."
Huddleston used K.I.T.T. from the classic 1980s TV show "Knight Rider" as an example. A recording of William Daniels, the original voice of K.I.T.T., would tell museum visitors about the fictional car's capabilities as they interact with various parts of the interior. Huddleston and his team want the focus of the museum to be on interaction and education, which is why he hopes to have videos — possibly sponsored by an automaker — elsewhere in the exhibit that would compare the then-futuristic technologies used in the show with what's available today, and what's on the horizon. Ideally, the displays would feature experts from various fields who would explain the real-world science and technology side of things, while actors from the show or movie a particular car was featured in would appear in character to go over the more fantasy aspects. Imagine the Hoff himself appearing on screen to tell you all about K.I.T.T.'s "Anamorphic Equalizer" (the car's Cylon-like oscillating red eye).
"From [George] Barris talking about his Munsters Koach and the Batmobile to Dan Aykroyd talking about the Ghostbusters car…we'll learn stuff that we may never have known about from the movie because they never got that far, and that's really exciting to me. It will become part of that mythos of the show or movie, and of the car."
As for exactly which cars you'll see in the exhibit, that's still to be determined. Though the renderings show a slew of drool-worthy fantasy rides, not all of them are confirmed yet. At the moment, the cars represented in the CG concept are more of a wish list, but you can likely count on seeing a "Back to the Future" Delorean — possibly the original — as one of the time machine's designers, Andrew Probert, is on the museum's board of directors. The futuristic Spinner hover car from "Blade Runner" and previously mentioned K.I.T.T. are two other must-haves for Huddleston. One car that's definitely been secured is Robocop's Ford Taurus-based police cruiser, which will be loaned by a private collector.
Of course, cars won't be the only things you'll see in the museum. The Hall of Cars will be one of the museum's main exhibits, alongside the Hall of Ships and Hall of Robots. Model starships from "Star Trek," "Star Wars," and other sci-fi classics will populate the Hall of Ships. And just like the cars, you'll be able to interact with them, pushing buttons to fire photon torpedoes or activate the hyperdrive. In the Hall of Robots, a gallery will feature fictional robots including Robby the Robot from 1956's "Forbidden Planet," C-3PO and R2-D2, Iron Man's armor, and many others. From that room, visitors would be guided to the hall of real robots, where they'll find those fictional machines' real-life counterparts, including Honda's Asimo and NASA's rover and Robonaut 2. The Enterprise bridge would naturally find a permanent home at the museum, and would be the centerpiece of a Star Trek exhibit featuring props and costumes from the franchise's history. Also included in the 2018 concept floor plan is a restaurant and 1000-seat theater. Among his many other lofty goals, Huddleston wants the museum to be completely solar-powered (paging Mr. Musk).
In order for all of this to come to fruition, the museum needs a substantial amount of cash. Big companies like Paramount, Universal, and Google have already donated time and money to the project, and now it's the museum's turn to show those deep pockets (and others) what it can bring to the table in order to get to the next step. Specifically, the organization needs a staff to lead fundraising efforts, along with money to cover other initial operating costs. As of this writing, a Kickstarter campaign has raised just over $20,000 toward the museum's $82,300 goal. Once the museum can show that it can get to that point on its own, Huddleston hopes it will get certain wealthy companies' attention.
"The main thing is just the development materials…the materials that these big, rich companies expect to see, and if you don't have them they'll laugh you out of the office. That's the bottom line…if you don't have those pieces of the puzzle in front of them, they'll think you're an amateur."
An amateur, Huddleston is not. Having grown up in show business, he knows how to approach Hollywood powerhouses and rally their support. Huddleston says he likes to surround himself with people that know what they're doing, and one company that should know a thing or two about setting up exhibits is Rhetroactive, the creative design firm behind Star Trek: The Experience in Las Vegas, downtown L.A.'s Grammy Museum, the Georgia Aquarium, and several attractions at Universal Studios theme parks. Rhetroactive is onboard to help develop the museum, but first the organization needs to find a location.
Huddleston tells us the preview museum is on track for its 2015 opening, but a building still needs to be found — and what they're looking for is pretty specific. The organization wants a building between 20,000 and 30,000 square-feet in size, that's in a "good, family-friendly area" local to big theaters like the Grauman's Chinese, El Capitan, and Cinaramadome where they have a lot of movie premieres. The reason for this is because he wants the preview space to be used for after-parties following big premieres, which will drum up interest in the museum and generate cash toward the ultimate goal of finding a permanent location, tentatively slated for 2018.
Right now, Huddleston has some big dreams, but also faces some big challenges. With the star power he has backing the project though, not to mention the corporations that are potentially interested, there's a good chance Hollywood will get its very own Mecca of science fiction sometime soon. And when it's built, you can bet this author will be the first in line to press K.I.T.T.'s "Turbo Boost" button.
Check out the museum's Kickstarter page here, and watch the video below for more on the project.
Delorean and K.I.T.T. pictured are not the actual cars that will be featured in the museum (probably)

WRC-TV's Jim Vance Backs Law Professor's Condemnation of "Redskins"
Jim Vance, a long-time anchor at WRC-TV in DC, has backed public interest law professor John Banzhaf in suggesting that using "Redskins" as the name of a football team is as racist as using the work "chink" in connection with the NY Knicks Jeremy Lin
As Washington Post sportswriter Dan Steinberg explains: "When GW public policy law professor John Banzhaf suggested a parallel between Jeremy Lin slurs and the nickname of our local NFL franchise, most people either ignored the prof, or made fun of him. A few days ago, veteran WRC anchor Jim Vance made the same comparison though, and he's probably harder to ignore. He also works for a network that is corporate partners with the Redskins, is pretty close friends with Joe Gibbs, and was part of the panel that once chose the 70 greatest Redskins in honor of the team's 70th anniversary.."
Vance, in his on-the-air commentary, said: "What I find curious is how some people I've talked to are offended by a derogatory term for Asians, but not by the word 'Redskin.'
He compared those who continue to back the team name with a well-known racist: "His was the kind of single-minded intransigence that mirrored George Preston Marshall, that vile, evil man who once owned the team, and who swore there would NEVER be a Negro playing on his team. Fifty years ago, because of George Preston Marshall, the Redskins [were] the last team in the entire NFL to hire a black player. Marshall wanted Bobby Mitchell, who was the player, to play not for Old D.C., but for Old Dixie."
In closing his commentary, Vance urged: "Fifty years later, do we REALLY want to be the ONLY team in the league with even a question about the appropriateness of our name? Can't we at least talk about that, without somebody wanting to start a fight for goodness sake?"
Professor Banzhaf agrees, noting actions taken as early as twenty years ago by other DC broadcasters. In the spring of 1992, Michael Douglass, station vice president and general manager of all-news WTOP and adult contemporary WASH FM-97.1, announced a new policy: the stations would no longer use the racially derogatory word "redskins."
"We decided then that we would honor the wishes of Native Americans who view the name [Redskins] as derogatory to them," he said. "We just felt it was the right thing to do," he told the Washington Times.
THE WASHINGTON TIMES then noted: "The station is the first media outlet in the Washington area known to declare the use of the name Redskins officially off limits. The Oregonian, the Portland, Ore., daily newspaper, recently adopted a policy prohibiting the use of sports nicknames that might offend racial, religious or ethnic groups. Earlier this month, American Indians, blacks and Hispanics announced a campaign to persuade Cooke to change the Redskins' name. The National Coalition on Racism in Sports and the Media, representing more than 30 civic groups, also supported a D.C. Council non-binding resolution urging the change, because it is considered racially offensive."
THE WASHINGTON POST likewise reported: ""We have been using a name that has been offensive to Native Americans," Michael Douglass said. "If it is our policy not to use offensive names, then it follows we feel we have to extend that to Native Americans."
Douglas also added a very important point: "It's the minority group that determines what's offensive, regardless of what the majority wants."
The WTOP decision was considered especially significant because, in addition to being a major source for news about the team, the station carried during football season a three-time-a-
Law professor Banzhaf says he is doing more than just complaining about the continued use of the term "redskins." Rather, he is working towards filing an opposition to the renewal of the broadcast license of one or more TV and radio stations which unnecessarily use the R-word - similar to the N-word for African Americans, or the C-word for Asian Americans.
A similar license renewal opposition he helped file many years ago against a DC area station led to the first appearance of African Americans in significant on-the-air roles - one reason why he believes his new project will also be successful.

Ai Enma is the main protagonist of the series, and is the one known as the "Jigoku Shoujo", referred to in the English version as "Hell Girl". As such, she makes a regular appearance in the series, although her appearance is smaller and less frequent in "Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae". She is played by Sayuri Iwata in the live-action television series.
Due to the nature of the duties which she is required to carry out, Ai can also be claimed to be the anti-heroine of the series. She also almost never exposes signs of being moralistic or idealistic, and occasionally opposes even those who are attempting to stop her from carrying out her job for a good cause.
Ai has long, straight black hair in a "hime" cut that she keeps untied. Her skin is significantly pale, and she has red eyes, although they were originally brown before she was buried alive. Ai also has light pink lips. She maintains a thirteen-year old girl's physical appearance, which was how old she was at the time of her death, and has remained as such for well over four-hundred years.
Her usual attire consists of a dominantly black seifuku, similar to Japanese school uniforms, with some parts colored white and red. However, while performing the act of taking someone to Hell, Ai always wears a kimono instead, which is dominantly black, with either temari, which are hand-woven thread balls, or floral designs. Both patterns alternate back and forth throughout the series.
Although not originally this way, Ai has a cold personality. Even in emotion-evoking situations, she doesn't appear moved in the least. Additionally, Ai is oddly silent and serious. She seems to only talk when the need arises, rarely speaking simply for the sake of it. In the event that Ai does talk out of ordinary circumstances, it is about something which she believes is necessary for someone to know, or to correct somebody where needed. The main reason for her introverted personality is due to her emotions being locked up when she was made into the Jigoku Shoujo.
As the series went on, Ai did become slightly more expressive, and a tad less cold, serious, and silent. However, the difference is extremely minor. Interactions from her side are a little more varied, and less grim later on, especially toward her clients and victims. In some scenarios, Ai actually goes to the lengths of mocking clients a bit like her servants before sending them to hell. She has also increased her attention and shown concern toward the more innocent clients and victims. An example of this would include the time when she reassured a lady who was requesting her to have Ren, one of Ai's companions, watch over her daughter after she willingly ended her life so that her daughter didn't have to be sent to Hell.
It is revealed later on that she had been ordered to close off her emotions by the master of hell. However, in rare instances, Ai has defied that order and used her emotions, especially of hatred, to guide her actions, as opposed to only following the duties given to her. The first of such occurrences is near the end of the first season, when she tries to take revenge for Sentarou Shibata's actions which had hurt her. In trying to take revenge on Sentarou's living descendants - Tsugumi Shibata and Hajime Shibata, Ai's true hatred comes forth. She urges Tsugumi in many forms to make her send her father, Hajime, to Hell, although her attempts were unsuccessful. She also burned down the temple which Sentarou had built while shedding tears, which is a sign of bearing strong emotions, although it is unclear what Ai's motives behind her actions may have been. One such time in which Ai is noted to be able to have feelings, but not express or act on them, is when Hone Onna mentioned that when Ai was being forced to send an innocent person to hell on a certain day due to her duties, she was silently screaming in her heart for having to do it, but was unable to express or act on those emotions.
More than 400 years ago, Ai Enma was a human girl living in a remote village near the mountains. She was frequently bullied by other kids for her strange personality, and only had her cousin, Sentarou as a friend. At the age of seven, Ai was selected to be the sacrifice for the Seven Sendings, a rite where a seven year old girl was sacrificed to the Mountain God so that the village is given a good harvest. However, her parents secretly asked Sentarou to care for her as she lived in the mountains. Thanks to her parents, Ai managed to survive, hiding out in a waterfall known as Mutsumi Ridge where only Sentarou would visit her to bring her food and change of clothes. This would go on for six years. During this time, Ai and Sentarou's relationship developed and both of them became romantically attracted to one another, although not admitting so. Meanwhile, the village was going through a famine as the crops were dying out. One night, Ai was discovered when a group of boys followed Sentarou into the mountains. She tried to escape but was captured and violently brought back to the village. Ai and her parents were captured, blindfolded, and tied up . The priest gave them their rites before they were hit by a shovel and thrown into a deep hole to be sacrificed. The villagers forced Sentarou to be the first one to shovel earth to the hole to atone for his sins. While Sentarou began to cave in to their demands, Ai begged for Sentarou's help, and managed to shake part of her blindfold enough to see with one eye. What she saw however shook her to her very core. The first shoveling of dirt onto her and her parents' grave was done by Sentarou himself. Sentarou's betrayal brought forth an immense hatred. As the villagers buried her in a frenzy of wild behavior, she vowed to hate them forever even in her death.
A short time after the incident, Ai escaped from the grave and exacted her revenge by burning the entire village to the ground in her wrath. She attracted the attention of the Master of Hell, who made a contact with her. He revealed that the souls of Ai's parents were being held hostage and made a pact with her: in exchange for her parents not being sent to Hell, Ai must act as the messenger of people's hatred and vengeance. In order to serve these tasks, the Master of Hell demanded that Ai forget her own hatred, numbing herself to the sufferings of others, and become a mere observer of any happenings. If she didn't accept this punishment, the souls of her parents would have to forever wander in Hell, lost for eternity. Having no other choice, Ai is then appointed as Jigoku Shoujo.
Through the centuries, Ai traveled around Japan becoming the messenger of vengeance to those with a strong hatred in their hearts. It started when a client contacted with her. Ai explained her services to a client, who has someone they hate and will be the recipient of the vengeance. She will give them a straw doll with a red string tied to it's neck. If he or she wishes to take revenge, the client may pull the red string. However, Ai always warns her clients that a mark will appear on them and their souls will also go to Hell when they die. If the client pulls the string, Ai puts on her kimono and goes to work. She shows the recipients a series of illusions, usually relating to their sins, and then sends them away as she ends them away in a dialog. As she does this, patterns of her kimono appear to come forth. Ai will then ferry that person's soul to Hell.
She teleports back and forth between the human world and an alternate dimension known as the Realm of Eternal Twilight, where a house exists as her base of operations. The house is inhabited by her and her grandmother Sometimes, the Master of Hell will check in on her in the guise of a spider.
As time passes, so did the method of contacting Ai. The earliest known method was the Jigoku Ema, a stone in which the recipient's name is written and then put in the chest. In the early 20th century, Ai used a blank newspaper ad to advertise her services. With the arrival of modern technology, Ai would use the most well-known method of contact in the series: the Jigoku Tsuushin, a website where the recipient's name can be written. Whatever the methods, they share a similarity in that they are only effective at midnight and will only work for those who have a strong hatred in them. However, this means that the recipient's actual guilt in the matter is not a factor so long as the client hates him/her, and has led to innocent also people being sent to Hell.
While performing her duties, Ai recruited three beings as her companions. The first was Wanyuudou, the left wheel of a carriage that became a yokai. Ai encountered him when he tried to scare her. She convinced him to stop frightening people and he accompanied her as she met a client. After the mission, he decides to accompany her in her travels, becoming "her feet". The second companion is Ren Ichimoku, another yokai in the form of a katana. Ai meets him on the remains of a battlefield, stuck to the ground. He agrees to travel with her and Ai pulls him out of the ground. As she does this, Ren transforms into a human form. The third companion is Hone Onna, a former prostitute that was killed and dumped into a river. Ai met her as she unwillingly scared people in her skeleton form. Becoming her assistants, the three would act as investigators, monitoring a client's situation and investigating more about the client and/or the recipient if necessary.They hold great respect for their Mistress, and during their time together formed close relationships with each other and Ai, whom they care for deeply.
400 years have passed since Ai first became the Hell Girl. In that time, Ai has delivered the hatred of countless people. In doing so, she has succeeded in suppressing her own hatred and burying the painful memories of her past. Meanwhile, the Jigoku Tsuushin becomes a popular topic due to the quicker spread of information in the modern age, particularly amongst teenagers.
One day, Ai encounters Tsugumi Shibata on a train crossing. After the encounter, she estabilishes a telepathic link with Tsugumi, although she herself does not know why this happened. Whatever the reason, the link between them draws the attention of Tsugumi's father, Hajime Shibata. The link allows Tsugumi to see through Ai's eyes and identify the next client and/or the recipient of hate. Both of them would try to stop the revenge from being taken. Ai and her companions notice this, although she appears indifferent towards them, perhaps knowing they can't stop the cycle of hatred.
This changed however, when Ai received a client's request only to find it was a trap set by Jiru Du Ronfēru. During their confrontation, he uses his powers on her and manages to give her a glimpse of her forgotten past. Ai manages to send Jiru to Hell as the client pulled the string, but when she returns to the Realm, she sees Sentarou in the distance, indicating her past was beginning to resurface. She pieces back her memories and uses her link with Tsugumi to relay a message to Hajime. As both of them travel to Mutsumi Ridge, she maintains contact with Tsugumi as she realizes both of them have a connection to her past. She finally finds out the connection; Hajime is actually a descendant of Sentarou. This brought forth her hatred. She attacks Hajime and Tsugumi at the ridge. Her companions arrive and try to stop her, warning her acting on her emotions will send her to Hell. Consumed by hatred, Ai ignores their warnings and manages to hit Hajime and Tsugumi with her dark energy projectiles. Even after her companions tried to convince her not to do something like this, Ai Enma then proceeded to try to send Hajime and Tsugumi to hell. However, before she could do that, she was sent to hell herself.
Ai comes to at a ferry on the way to Hell, piloted by the Master of Hell himself. The Master of Hell tells her because of her actions, she will be damned to Hell. Ai refuses, saying she cannot go yet. The Master of Hell tries to stop her by shooting webbing at her, but she breaks through them and escapes. Meanwhile, Tsugumi and Hajime are teleported back to the temple. Ai sends Hajime away to the Realm while she sends Tsugumi back to their apartment and tries to convince her to take revenge on her father. Ai shows her the truth about her mother's death and Hajime's involvement in it. Hajime, Hone, and Ren arrive at the apartment. Her companions try to talk her out of her hate, but she knocks them unconscious. In a final attempt to make Tsugumi pull the string, she sends both of them to the scene of Ayumi's death. Her attempt proved to be unsuccessful, as Tsugumi loves her father dearly and refuses to take revenge. They return to the ridge where Ai reflects in her own memories. Tsugumi returns the Wanyuudou straw doll to her, saying she does not need it. Tsugumi states further that Sentarou loved her and regrets the actions he did back then, even building the temple as a sign of his remorse. The four of them (including Wanyuudou) teleport back to the temple. In a final release of her emotions, Ai destroys the Seven Child temple, the symbol of Sentarou's guilt, indicating she has forgiven him. Ai and her companions leave the temple, while Tsugumi and Hajime return home. As she had put aside her own hatred, Ai once again becomes worthy of the mantle of Hell Girl and continues to deliver souls to Hell.
In "Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori", Ai encountered Takuma Kurebayashi. He captured the attention of Ai because they both had a very similar fate. During episode 26, Ai showed empathy to Takuma because she knew that Takuma is innocent and had nothing to do with the accident related to his father. Ai decided not to bring Takuma in Hell. Suddenly, Kikuri was possessed by the Master of Hell and punished and made Ai a mortal for not fulfulling her task. Later on, Takuma saw Hotaru on the lake side. Because of that, he became angry and chose to take revenge for what he thought was Hotaru's death. He burned his own house down. Then, he was punished by the villagers for what he had done but Ai suddenly appeared and saved him. Unfortunately, when the villagers found out that Ai lost her powers and she became a mortal human, the villagers took revenge and they tried to kill Ai. Takuma shouted to stop hurting Ai. He swiftly went near Ai and he held Ai's hand. Ai said to Takuma that "It's all over".
- Ai has shown the ability to hurl large, deadly blasts of black-colored energy. This is first demonstrated when she meets face-to-face with the Shibatas, having remembered her past and hatred.
- She can teleport from one place to another. Throughout the series, Ai appears out of nowhere, therefore startling her clients.
- Able to take the lives of her clients' tormentors, Ai can do so without necessarily making any physical contact with them, or damaging them physically. After terrorizing them with her illusions, she takes their lives away as the floral designs in her kimono washes over her victims. The victim appears to dissipate, afterward.
- By taking the lives of her clients' tormentors, she personally takes them aboard her boat on the Sanzu River for transportation into Hell. In this regard, she is similar to the ferryman Charon from Greek mythology, who carried the souls of the dead across the river Styx to the Underworld.
- Ai appears to be invulnerable to harm to some degree, as shown when Jiru Du Ronfēru telekinetically hurls her around, and throws her against the walls, and later on, also sets her on fire, but Ai doesn't reveal any feelings of pain. However, this could easily be because Jiru was actually giving off illusions, and she instead has the ability to not be affected by illusions. This is further supported by the fact that when she got kicked in the stomach by Yuuna Serizawa, she was injured, and continued to feel the pain for a while after that. This, however, can be counter-argued that this could simply have been happening because she was using Yuzuki's body at the moment rather than her own.
- She seems to have the ability to possess others, but considering the fact that there has only been one case to argue this, it is difficult to say for sure whether it is her ability or not. The only event where Ai displayed this was when she was physically dead for some time and she possessed the body of Yuzuki Mikage in order to have a vessel to perform her duties as the "Hell Girl". Later on, after the Gate to Hell was opened for a while during the Six-Mon Lantern festival, she left Yuzuki's body, and retrieved control of her own physical body, as if she was resurrected.
- Ai is capable of creating large, intricate illusions, in which she often does to frighten her victims before taking them to Hell. She also creates illusions at other times, like when trying to convince Tsugumi Shibata to send her father to hell.
- At one point, Ai has displayed the ability to show someone the future of a grudge, as she showed Yuzuki Mikage, in Episode 16 of Mitsuganae. She also has the ability to show someone the past of a person, which Ai has performed on multiple occasions, first in the first season, and second in Futakomori. These abilities may be limited to some degree though, as Ai was unable to predict her confrontation with Jiru Du Ronfēru.
- Resurrection itself is an ability of Ai, as shown when she was buried by the villagers, and managed to rise from the dead to set her village on fire. Also, during the Six-Mon Lantern festival, she may have resurrected herself, though then the question would remain as to why she didn't revive herself until that point.
- Ai also has the power to create fire, which she has only used on two occasions. The first time it was shown, she burned her home village down to the ground with a wave of her hand. The other time, a similar ability was shown was when she created a ball of energy or fire, and used it to create a blast of fire to destroy the temple that Sentarou built. It seems that she creates fire, or perhaps she maintains the ability to create fire only when she gets emotionally-evoked, usually with anger.
- Ai was physically injured every season, once in Futakomori, and twice in Mitsuganae, and the first season each:
- In the first season, she was beaten up by the villagers of her village when she was alive.
- Later on, in the first season, she was thrown around through Jiru Du Ronfēru's telekinetic abilities in the episode Jigoku Shoujo versus Jigoku Shounen. However, she showed no sign of pain or resistance.
- In Futakomori, she was beaten to death again by some of the individuals of Lovely Hills.
- In Mitsuganae, she was kicked in the stomach in the episode My Teacher.
- Furthermore, in Mitsuganae, Ai was hit in the stomach with a dark bolt of energy fired by Yuzuki Mikage.
- Ai and Sentarou has been hinted to have had romantic feelings for each other multiple times.
- Ai has been shown to be able to play flutes, though their only use which happened before sending someone to Hell raises doubts as to whether it was just an illusion or not.
- Ai's kimono changes motifs every season. In season 1, it was a black kimono with large flower patterns. It is also shown as the first kimono Ai was given when she became the Hell Girl. In season 2, the kimono has flowery petals covering most of it, save in flashback scenes where Ai was still wearing her first kimono. In the final season, it carries pictures of fans and toy air balloons, the patterns of which appear to be moving.

... also saw these cool little birds called Roal Roal Partridges that were colourful and busy. We spent over and hour in this sphere just because it was so cool.
After an amazing day, we drove to the surf town of Newquay, watched the Rugby semi-final – damn Kiwis – and had a pretty ****** sleep in a gross Belushi's dorm.
The two gardens over the last two days were bloody beautiful and we are relishing autumn in the SW of England.
Ciao for now. ...

Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2009 | After an agonizing wait, former San Diego City Councilman Michael Zucchet was vindicated by the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in a ruling issued today, but his former colleague Ralph Inzunza was one step closer to prison.
A three-judge panel upheld Zucchet's stunning and controversial acquittal by U.S. District Judge Jeffrey T. Miller, noting "there is simply nothing in the record to confirm Zucchet's participation" in a scheme with a strip club owner to trade campaign contributions for political action.
"Six years after we first presented the government with the reasons why the case should not be brought, after this city lost one of the best city councilmen it has ever had during a time when it desperately needed his services, Mr. Zucchet has been vindicated once again," said a statement released by Zucchet's lawyers, Jerry Coughlan and Dennis Riordan.
"He and his wife are tremendously gratified by this result, although it is a tragedy for his family and for this city that they were put through this long and excruciating ordeal."

Description from A+R
Jasper Morrison always strives to pare an item to its honest essence, and his tableware collection for Alessi hit the mark. Individually or collectively, these pure white dishes, bowls and cups convey a truth of good design, it's a blend of form and function. The Italian heritage house tapped Jasper to fashion a line of cutlery, porcelain and glass services with uncompromised qualityat a price as accessible as it is sophisticatedly simple design. No wonder it became an instant modern classic when it bowed in 2004. This is all you need to set out a great daily table," says the British designer, who intentionally kindles a sense of familiarity or super normality" with his work. His unassuming ethos extends to his shop and studio in the northern London area of Shoreditch, minimal down to its discreet black door. Platebowlcup perfectly accompanies Jasper's KnifeForkSpoon cutlery.

UniForum Chicago is proud to announce a special event for the April 10th, 2012 SIG meeting. It is a tour of Argonne National Labs (south of Darien, IL and I-55).
We will be using this Meetup.Com page as our primary method to collect a list of attendees for the tour. Argonne needs a list of all tour attendees and citizenship. If there is a reason that you can't add yourself as member to this Meetup Group and RSVP for the event, please use the Contact Us link to send us an email or call.
Be sure to provide your country of citizenship in the answer to the question we are asking as part of the RSVP. You MUST RSVP before by April 9th to participate on the tour. Additionally, non-US citizens have additional special requirements that must be submitted to ANL by March 30th (see the link below for detailed information).
We'll all meet at the Argonne Information/Visitor Center at 6:30pm, which is located off Northgate Road. From I-55, take exit 273A south on Cass Avenue 0.7 mi to Northgate Road (main entrance). Turn right and continue 0.7 miles to the Guard Gate and the visitor center.
Please be sure to read additional information and admission requirements regarding the tour on our meeting page at:
We hope to see you there!
UniForum Chicago is going to visit Argonne National Laboratory on Tuesday, April 10th from 6:30pm to 9pm. Please note this is 1/2 hour earlier than our usual meeting time.
The tour will include the Leadership Computing Facility, Advanced Photon Source, and the Nuclear Engineering Exhibit. The leadership computing facility contains the massively parallel Blue Gene supercomputer. The Advanced Photo Source (APS) produces the most brilliant X-ray beams in the western hemisphere. APS is generally considered by visitors to be the most interesting part of the tour. Our tour should prove to be extremely interesting and informative.
Once we have finished the tour, we will adjourn to Gordon Biersch (I-355 & Boughton Rd near Bass Pro in Bolingbrook) for food and drinks for our usual After-the-Meeting meeting.
I would also like to thank everyone who put this tour together for a very interesting and very entertaining tour. Not only did we get bussed to our locations (a plus given the outside temp), but we were given histories of buildings and the projects they contained, as well as their contributions to our current technology and understanding. I agree that our tour guides were exceptional and helped me to understand some of the complexity and importance of the work going on at Argonne. Thanks again.

I'd like to thank Dave Hooper, Dan West, William Allcock and Argonne National Labs for an incredible tour last night.
We were awe-struck by all the diverse and incredibly interesting research that is being performed at Argonne. It is truly amazing to see the type of work our scientific, academic and private institutions perform. Our tour guides are what made the event so interesting. Their ability to explain and share what happens at Argonne was exceptional.

The light that's coming now
is the new year light breaking through.
Moving forward we'll count

Although I enjoy hunting any animal that I can get a license for I will take a deer hunt over any other animal without question. I love to see big bulls and hope to get a nice one but my heart races faster when I spot deer. I don't know if it's because I started as a deer hunter first or if there are other reasons but that's the way it is.
All of us are different so which one drives you crazy and why do you think that is?

The ear cushions are larger, softer and better sound-isolating than before. They are easily interchangeable with a choice between circular or oval-shaped designs* allowing for a personalized fit.
*Oval shaped ear cushions sold separately.
Special in-mold channels have been designed into the ear cushions enabling specs-wearing gamers to wear the headset free of strain.
