i was playing with my tamago and i could have sworn she was only a teenager.. and then randomly she evolved into an oldie. and now it won't let me play games or shop or go to the park and she wont age past 3 years old. what happened?
Tama Go question ?
Posted 27 July 2013 - 03:46 PM ( #3 )
Posted 28 July 2013 - 09:22 AM ( #6 )
Maybe the character you have isn't a oldie, but looks like one. I found a character chart here: http://tamagotchi-ti...ion-charts.html
Posted 28 July 2013 - 11:53 AM ( #7 )
okay yeah i found out who it is and it's just an adult but it still doesnt make sense as to why i cant do anything. everytime i try to go to the shop or the park or anything it wont let me
Posted 30 July 2013 - 10:58 AM ( #8 )
What is her weight? If a Tama-Go character weighs 99 lbs, it'll get bloated and won't want to do anything. If that's the case, give her some medicine and she'll be just fine.
If that's not the problem, try disciplining her.

woah, looks like episode 12 just got aired and from all the posts containing the contents in this episode, it was a big scramble for the relics!
Spoiler for for what I've read so far...:
I guess StrikerS has gotten up to speed with this whole plot...I think the only trouble I'll be getting from this point on, is memorizing who's name is who in the enemy side... |

It's not that difficult to figure out who's who once you get to it, especially the "Numbers", since there's only four of them:
Quattro: (4) The Brown haired meganekko, the illusionist who created all the drone illusions in the previous ep, and who taunts Vita this episode. Deici: (10)The one equipped with the heavy sniper rifle () Sein: (5?) Green-haired girl who can phase shift through objects, the one who stole the Relic case and saved Lutecia. Tres: (3) Speed-demon girl, the one shown in the preview.

Edit: Hmm not sure how much they released. Thought they just said limiter release and her Exceed Mode. But if the attack she had to block was S rank then wouldn't she at least need to be brought to that level to stop it?

The weakness of the shown Numbers is that from their implied specialty...none of them, bar possibly III who's only shown only one move really seems to be an all-rounder, more of particular specialist in their own ranges. On the far side, the good side seems to be more balanced overall. And Regius towards Hayate? Something along the lines of once a criminal (( YnS incident )), always one, even if her actual role in it is miniscule. Same towards Graham as well, surprisingly. I thought his kind of attitude would actually condone Graham's sacrifice-one-for-the-greater-good act.

Wow, this episode had a lot of twists and turns...but it was amazing!
It seems Quattro was involved in the incident that wounded Nanoha, she clearly told Lutecia to say to Vita: "Looks like you are still unable to protect". And that shook Vita hard, looks like we got a hint (yay, my hunch was right) on how Nanoha got wounded 8 years ago... Also, Nanoha's Exceed Mode, has some resemblance to her first Barrier Jacket...that was so cool, she took the hit and didn't get a single scratch Hayate using Diabolic Emission...never saw that coming Next epsiode we'll get to see, I think, the reasons why Zest and Agito want the relics and maybe even Lutecia's reason for wanting specifically Relic nº 11

The DVDs better be BD.... Anywho...Thoughts: 1. I loved this episode so much...I still feel giddy in the stomach even now... 2. Can someone say..."Character"....Never seen an anime introduce so many characters at once and pulling it off perfectly... 3. And did I see 'Miss Deep' in there!!! 4. Oh ho...Looks like you have a rival for Speed Fate-chan... 5. And what...When did you get such a promising apprentice Signum? 6. Why is that Fatso still alive?!!

man, this must be the best StrikerS episode yet...all of these new characters everywhere...I hope Vita gets some revenge in future episodes on Quattro...she sounds like she could get irritating in time. Anyways, I'm kinda interested in what TSAB's gonna do about that little loli that Erio and Caro found, Vivio...plus with Nanoha's visit to her room at the hospital...do i hear adoption papers? |

Quit your whining, Nanoha (The series) isn't all about the fights... You're making it sound like some Shounen series, giving people a bad impression. Quote:

The strategist will join high-level security meetings while the military's role is downgraded.
via BBC http://j.mp/2kHOJak
In 2005, Donald J. Trump told Access Hollywood's Billy Bush, "I'm automatically attracted to beautiful [women]—I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything. … Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything."
via Slate Articles http://j.mp/2k6sbNk
A very small number have expressed any kind of support for it.
Note: We are updating this story as more legislators put out statements.
Trump's executive order, which bans entry into the US if you're from one of seven Muslim-majority countries, was signed on Friday afternoon. Almost every Democratic member of Congress publicly opposed the order, either on Twitter, Facebook, or a statement.
But the list of every Republican legislator who did the same is very short as of Sunday morning:
Even fewer Republican legislators expressed any kind of support for the executive action, though one was a voice that carries particular weight: House Speaker Paul Ryan, whose spokeswoman AshLee Strong insisted Saturday that it was "not a religious test and it is not a ban on people of any religion."
Few others backed it, though:
That leaves the large majority of legislators in this final column: those who said nothing or issued a statement that took no real position. (Note: We'll update this list as we go.) Some legislators posted on social media about it, but took no stance, like Rep. Dave Trott and Rep. Dave Brat.
We visited every single legislator's website and social media feeds, and it was eerie to see legislator after legislator posting on Facebook about Holocaust Remembrance Day — about how we can't forget the atrocities, and how we can't let it happen again.
via Vox – All http://j.mp/2k6oYNQ
When the ban came out, the fallout was everywhere, but this article
The exchange (which begins around the 17 minute mark here) starts Trump riffing about how top foreign-born Ivy league graduates should be allowed to stay in America where they can be "job creators." But then Bannon spoke up to disagree, and he did so in a very revealing way:
TRUMP: We have to keep our talented people in this country.
BANNON: Um—
TRUMP: I think you agree with that. Do you agree with that?
BANNON: Well I got a tougher — you know, when two thirds or three quarters of the CEOs in Silicon Valley are from South Asia or from Asia, I think — on, my point is, a country's more like, [inaudible], a country's more than an economy. We're a civic society.
Bannon's "statistic" that over two-thirds of Silicon Valley CEOs are Asian-born isn't even close to being true, since only a small minority are. But the bigger takeaway is that Bannon was clearly disturbed enough by this mistaken idea to bring it up. He was clearly trying to choose his words carefully, but he made it crystal clear that he was disturbed by the (fictional) idea of all these Asian-born CEOs running around in America.
Once you keep those views in mind, the method behind the "madness" of the Trump administration's treatment of green card holders becomes clear. Most Republicans generally profess to love legal immigration. They say they are only concerned with the illegal variety (and Trump himself has said the same).
But some of the people around Trump, like Bannon, top White House policy aide Stephen Miller, and attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions, go much further. They want to privilege native-born Americans over even the most entrepreneurial and industrious (and legal) immigrants.
If we allow children to be charged with felonies for fighting at school, we are opening up the floodgates for hundreds of thousands more incarcerated individuals. Disproportionate numbers will continue to include: girls/women and boys/men of color.
I know it seems extremely bad, quite horrible, depression worthy and an utter catastrophe of unprecedented proportion, but…
We've been through worse and we will get through this. As a matter of fact this is an opportunity. An opportunity to see the depths of what we are dealing with. Now that it's been laid bare with great anger, vitriol and malice there can be no mistaking on the depths to which the divisions in this country run.
It's been said,
The problem is not the problem, it's the way that you see the problem that's the problem.
So how are we going to see this problem and better yet, what are we going to do? That's what I implore everyone who is upset by the outcome of this incredibly long and demoralizing election, to think about what you are going to do. Think about the reasons why this happened and what you can do to stop it from happening in the future. It takes all of us to participate in this democracy in order to make it what we want it to be.
I am not happy with the outcome, but experts have said that in this election, no one was actually going to be happy because we disliked both candidates. Both candidates were weak and the lowest of the low won out because they're stuck in a time warp and the republican candidate told them all the things they wanted to hear with full knowledge that he couldn't deliver, nor is he actually interested in doing so.
Big Black Scholar would like to let you know that, yes it is ugly, but it will make it. So let's all grieve, regroup and keep moving forward.
Dr. Hayden will officially become the next librarian of Congress. Although President Obama nominated her in February, the vote was just recently passed by the Senate.
Dr. Hayden was the former head of the Public Library system in Baltimore, and also formerly served as the President of the American Library Association. More on Dr. Hayden and her new position can be found here NPR article
The Illinois Legislature has been locked in a budget stalemate with Gov. Bruce Rauner (R) since last summer. Rauner sought a 31.5% cut to higher education, but legislators wanted to limit the cut to 8.6%. In the meantime, schools have received no funds from the state government, nor have students who rely on state-awarded Monetary Award Program (MAP) grants.
To keep their doors open, schools are deferring maintenance, redistributing funds designated for special projects, laying off staff, cutting sports teams, and considering cutting academic programs.
This is really sad. It's a microcosm of what's happened in the country nationally. Two sides fighting over things that do not effect them directly, but they are personally invested in, to the point of where they cannot (or will not) compromise.
And those most ill equipped to endure this kind of high level gridlock, get nothing out of it but suffering. The people who's lives are being stymied could care less about the ideological battle that politicians are waging, and just want to be able to go to class, tend to the work of educating students and maintaining and operating a university.
This once again shows what our leadership has devolved into, they are so wrapped up in their "anger and ideals" that they are unable to agree on the the basic premise that regardless to how they feel about work still needs to be done. And they're not getting it done. Most of the time, one's boss is more interested in the task being completed than anything else. With this kind of failure to carry out their duties, all these "leaders" should be replaced for people who are fit for government, because these people are not.
notes: eab
It has been about a week since the incident at Texas A&M University. As I read more about how the incident is being "handled" I wonder why there is still such a lack of proactive education and awareness on diversity and inclusion at PWIs (Predominately White Institutions)? Like many institutions, A&M has diversity officers and a multicultural/diversity office- and like many institutions, they do well in handling situations that occur on campus and impact the campus community. But one thing that I have also seen and experienced (as a higher education professional who has worked at multiple PWIs), is a lack of campus-wide education and awareness regarding diversity and inclusion in a way that impacts more than just minority students, faculty, and staff.
Implementing initiatives to attract, recruit and admit students of color, means nothing without initiatives aimed at retaining and supporting them. And now we have reached a point where the support must include educating non-minority faculty, staff, and students about how to understand and work with them. Celebrating Hispanic Heritage month, Black History Month, Women's History Month, and having organizations for black, hispanic, international, and asian students is not enough. Especially, when members of these organizations make up most of the participants at their events, programs and educational workshops. It is great support for these students, and a celebration of their cultures. But…as I have observed, there is a lack of a white (and particularly a white-male) presence at many of the events, programs, training sessions, and workshops related to cultural competence, diversity, and inclusion.They are preaching to the choir.

MS Theory: 1.) Mass analyzers use electric and magnetic fields to apply a force on charged particles F = ma (Newton's second law) F = e(E+ v x B) (Lorentz force law) where: F - force applied to the ionm - mass of the ion a - acceleratione - ionic charge v x B - vector cross productE - electric field v x B - vector cross product E - electric field of the ion velocity and the applied magnetic field 2.) Force is therefore dependent on both mass and charge - spectrometers separate ions according to their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) - not by mass alone

Fourier Transform (FT) MS: Detection of ICRDetection of ICR Ions circulating between plates induces current between plates - Image current - Non-destructive - Decays over a few seconds through collision Decay over time of the image current after applying an RF pulse is transformed from the time domain into a frequency domain Ions of two different m/q ratios excited on resonance for the same amount of time with the same excitation voltage. Ion [A] has the lower m/q ratio and thus has a higher cyclotron frequency. Ion [B] has the higher m/q ratio and thus a lower cyclotron frequency.

- Find some music that moves you and play it.
- Begin moving in any way that your body feels like moving.
- Imagine yourself as the four year old girl you once were.
- When you find a movement that feels satisfying, repeat it for as long as it feels good. Then switch to another movement that feels satisfying to your body and repeat that movement.
- You might experiment with a movement that has a swing quality. Like when swinging on a swing, there is a lift and a drop, and a lift again.
- You might experiment with moving with a thrusting quality – the energy goes out from the center in a straight line. (It helps the power of this movement to accompany it with a sound like practitioners in self defense systems do.)
- Sit quietly for a few minutes after you do the movements.
- Ask the four-year-old part of yourself how she is feeling.

Training in the genetic basis of pediatric gastrointestinal disorders: The revolutions in genetics and genomics have led to discoveries in a range of GI diseases, many of which affect the health of children. Pediatric gastroenterologists who are trained in genetic research will be essential in the effort to identify novel genetic cause of GI disease, reveal their molecular mechanisms, and translate them into therapy. The outstanding laboratory, translational, and clinical research at CHOP and the Perelman School of Medicine (PSOM) present an ideal environment for research career development in the genetics of pediatric GI disease. The overarching goals of the this training program are to: Train a cadre of committed researchers to investigate the genetic basis of pediatric GI disease and to use this knowledge to improve the health of children and adults. Provide these individuals with the skill sets and foundation for career advancement. Encourage innovation and leadership in academic pediatric GI.
The Specific Aims of this training program are to: Identify, recruit and foster the career development of post-doctoral research trainees from the pool of CHOP GI fellows, PSOM GI fellows, and other scientists committed to training and career development in the genetics of pediatric gastrointestinal disease. Match trainee strengths and interests with mentoring teams. Provide intensive mentored research experience and training with dedicated faculty. Provide career mentoring, including training on successful grant and manuscript preparation. Bring together faculty and fellows through seminar series and other academic activities to create a collaborative community of physician-scientists. Provide guidance for structured learning opportunities on the principles of genetic research, including research ethics and the protection of animal and human subjects. To achieve these goals, we have designed a training program comprising: Two years of support per trainee, with a total of 4 training slots each year (2 slots in the first year). Mentored independent research with a team approach and scholarship oversight. Career mentoring including individualized independent development plans (IDP), seminars and workshops focusing on professional development and career advancement skills. Didactic opportunities designed to provide specific research skills. Seminars, workshops and journal clubs focusing on research and progress in the field.

Kind Code | A1 |
Tsuji, Minoru ;   et al. | August 19, 2004 |
A sound signal encoder for high efficiency encoding of sound signals from a plurality of channels is provided which includes a to-be-correlated object setter (52), to-be-correlated object selector (56) and a variable-length encoder (58). The to-be-correlated object setter (52) sets, on the basis of left-channel frequency information held in a left-channel frequency information holder (50) and right-channel frequency information held in a right-channel frequency information holder (51), index [i] indicating which ones of sine waves on the left channel are to be correlated with, namely, are to be subtracted from, sine waves on the right channel. The to-be-correlated object selector (56) selects a default value read from a storage unit (55) or index [i]-th amplitude information read from a left-channel amplitude information holder (53) as an object to be subtracted from the i-th amplitude information on the right channel according to the index [i]. The variable-length encoder (58) makes variable-length encoding of a difference resulted from subtraction of the left-channel amplitude information or default value as the to-be-correlated object from the amplitude information on the right channel.

US foreign policy during the Cold War has been analysed from a number of perspectives, generating large bodies of literature attempting to explain its origins, its development and its conclusion. However, there are still many questions left only partially explained. In large part this is because these accounts restrict themselves to a single level of analysis, either the international system, or the structure of the state and society. The first level of analysis, focusing on the role of individuals, has largely been excluded.
This book argues that structural theories, and any approach that limits itself to one level of analysis, are inadequate to explain the development of US foreign policy. Instead, it is necessary to incorporate the first level of analysis in order to bring human agency back and provide a more detailed explanation of US foreign policy. Bilsland proposes an analytical framework which incorporates presidential agency into a multi-level analysis of US foreign policy during the Cold War, constructing a multi-level case study comparison of the foreign policies of Presidents Truman and Reagan. He argues that the worldview of the president is central to agenda setting in US foreign policy making and that the management style of the president influences both decision-making and the implementation of US foreign policy. Evidence to support this is drawn from detailed empirical analysis of Truman's foreign policy of containment in Korea and Reagan's foreign policy of rollback in Nicaragua.
This work will be of interest to students and scholars of US Foreign Policy, US History and International Relations

St-Jean-Baptiste Day -- June 24th -- in Lewiston-Auburn was a very public display of ethnic pride for nearly a century. Since about 1830, French Canadians had used St. John the Baptist's birthdate as a demonstration of French-Canadian nationalism.
Named for the two largest things in Maine at the turn of the 20th century, Mt. Katahdin and Granger of Stetson, were known as the Largest Oxen in the World. Unable to do farm work because of their size, they visited fairs and agricultural events around the Northeast.
Princeton: Woods and Water Built This Town
Princeton benefited from its location on a river -- the St. Croix -- that was useful for transportation of people and lumber and for powering mills as well as on its proximity to forests.

Olivia Munn Posts Hilarious Insta of Her and J.Lo in the Same Dress
It turns out we're not the only ones who are completely swooning over Jennifer Lopez's amazing style. Olivia Munn tried on a colorful Balmain dress that J.Lo recently wore for a photoshoot, and the 36-year-old model and actress had the same hilarious reaction that we would have.
The dress in question is a multicolored crochet number from Balmain's 2017 Resort collection. The gorgeous piece features blocked sections of every color and trendy "cold shoulders." Lopez wore the dress for a Harper's Bazaar photoshoot, pairing it with strappy black heels and a voluminous hair style. When Munn tried on the same dress, she couldn't help but feel a little less polished than J.Lo. She posted a hilarious side-by-side comparison of the two ladies wearing the garment, writing, "I tried this dress on the other day and then saw @jlo wearing it in a magazine and thought "Oh, THAT'S what it's supposed to look like."
I tried this dress on the other day and then saw @jlo wearing it in a magazine and thought "Oh, THAT'S what it's supposed to look like." 😝😂

Munn had paired the dress with a pair of nude heels, and to be honest, she looks amazing in it as well. We'll just chalk the situation up to a sartorial win-win.

Camelot Theatre Invites You To DINNER AND A MOVIE All Summer Long, Beginning 6/28
by David Green BroadwayWorld.com Jun. 12, 2014Beginning Saturday, June 28th, Camelot Theatres in Palm Springs will begin a new "Dinner and a Movie" Film Series - bringing some of the biggest blockbuster movies ever to hit the Big Screen back to the BIG Screen! "We plan to present a favorite blockbuster movie every Saturday night," said Camelot Theatres Manager Matt Christensen. "Most of these films are available on DVD, but let's face it. These films were made to be seen on the big screen and there's just nothing quite like seeing them that way. Even better, they've all been digitally remastered, and feature full theatre quality sound, so the experience is going to be really magical."??
Camelot Theatres, which has the widest movie screen in the desert, will begin the revival screenings every Saturday evening at 9:30pm, but wants movie-goers to know that they can start their evenings early with dinner and/or a cocktail at the Camelot Internationale Cafe and Bar.??
"The cafe and bar will both open at 7pm," said Chef Hector Salviatore. "Each week we'll be creating a special $15 prix fix menu that has been themed to match that week's movie. We'll also have our regular Happy Hour menu and be offering Happy Hour pricing at the bar, plus themed specialty drinks and $6 Margaritas." ??
The Camelot "Dinner and a Movie" Film Series, which is presented by MIX 100.5 FM and RR Broadcasting, will open with the 1975 thriller JAWS, starring Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw. Directed by Steven Spielberg and based on Peter Benchley's novel of the same name, JAWS is widely regarded as the prototype of the Summer Blockbuster genre of films. It became the highest-grossing film in history at the time, and it was the most successful motion picture of all time until the release two years later of Star Wars. Other films in the series include Caddieshack, Tootsie, The Breakfast Club, The Princess Bride, Top Gun, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Dirty Dancing, and more. Movie Tickets are only $ 6.50 each. ??
For a complete list of films and/or additional information about the Camelot "Dinner And A Movie" Film Series, visit the Camelot Theatres website at www.CamelotTheatres.com?

Bad Lip Reading has always been great at being topical, but they've gone all out for the biggest movie of the year. The team has taken each of the first three Star Wars movies (A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi) and making them all their own.
They even got Jack Black, Bill Hader, and Maya Rudolph in on the action, and it's some of their best work. Check out A New Hope above, and Empire and Return below!

Mortgage advisers analyse customers' financial
circumstances and recommend a suitable and affordable
mortgage. Information on a number of mortgage
products is offered so that the customer can make an
informed choice.
They advise clients on the house-buying process and how to make applications. They would discuss the impact of a decision on any other financial commitments or investments; and highlight the rules regarding repayment and mortgage protection.
Mortgage advisers are governed by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) 'Mortgage Conduct of Business' regulations and so they must act in an impartial and ethical manner. Contact the FSA for further details.
As well as working with clients, mortgage advisers liaise with other professionals, such as estate agents, conveyancing clerks and valuers. Mortgage advisers could also be independent financial advisers (IFAs) who advise on a number of other financial products, eg pensions and life assurance, as well as mortgages. See Financial Adviser/Consultant profile.
Hours vary depending on the employer. Those working
for organisations such as banks and building societies
usually work between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday
and sometimes on Saturdays. Independent advisors
often have to meet clients in the evening and sometimes
at weekends.
The work is office based, but independent advisors may visit clients in their homes.
As a mortgage adviser you should:
Mortgage advisers may work in banks, estate agencies,
brokerages or independently. If working for a bank or
building society, they usually give advice only on their
organisations' products.
Some mortgage advisers become independent financial advisers (IFAs) or move into insurance broking, after taking further qualifications.

Making the Holiday's Brighter at the New York Amway Business Center
Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas! Donning the proverbial red suit of Santa Claus, Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOs) helped make the holidays a little bit brighter for children in need. This season's special cause was the Easter Seals New York toy drive, serving children in need between the ages of 0 and 13. The drive set a goal of 200 new or unwrapped toys to be delivered in time for the holidays.
As we've come to expect, IBO generosity was up to the challenge. Total donations far exceeded the drive's goal. From the last week of November through the second week of December, more than 400 special and unique toys were collected from more than 200 IBOs. There were teddy bears, stuffed animals, toy cars, dolls, and even a telescope. Easter Seals New York received so many extra toys that a second, unplanned delivery of more than 60 toys was made to Family Services Long Island.
Thank you to all the IBOs who donated their time and money to make the holiday season a time of joy and fun for children in need. For more information on Easter Seals New York, please visit www.eastersealsny.org or call (222)-220-2290.
