UC was 2-14 last season in the Big East.
So far, they're 2-1
Quite an impressive game against a very talented Syracuse team. I felt like they had the game under control after they took the lead in the second part of the first half. Their defense is vastly improved and they seem to be coming together as a team. That is the most important aspect of it for me. I think Mick has really pulled this team together. They appear very well coached.
One thing I would really like to see happen now is for them to cut down on the mindless fouls. It just seems like Adam H. can't keep his hands off the opponent in the paint. They are just stupid fouls. Deonta make a lot of them too. I do like the seeing them foul hard when they foul on the fast break to ensure that the shooter can't finish. That is just good fundamentals. Some of them this season have been borderline intentional fouls, but they are making sure they earn the points. Nothing frustrates me more than when a player fouls the opponent close to the basket but just taps his arm. Make him earn the points instead of giving him the extra one.
Also, foul shots. You have got to make more of them. They made them for the most part tonight. The thing that frustrates me is that foul shots are all about practice, repitition and concentration. At that level, 70% is a very attainable goal for the big men. There is no good excuse for being a bad free throw shooter. In fact, 70% should be mediocre. Williamson is almost money to be too strong on the first and perfect on the second. Anybody else notice that? The problem is that kids get into their head that they should shoot 3's and they practice them. I know some people who could shoot lights out from behind the arc, but couldn't shoot a lick from the free throw line. I just never got the point in that. Free throws are the easy points.
Finally, I would also like to see the team more disciplined on offensive sets. They tend to pass around the parimeter and look for an open three. You saw a lot of bad shots against the zone tonight. Just some dribble penetration if nothing else. Attack the seems of the zone. The post game wasn't there for them mostly because of size, but penetration and a kick out would have gave them some better looks and probably opened things up in the medium range if not further underneath. They also seem to make some bad passes. I attribute that to being a young team trying to mesh. I'm not to worried about that yet.
The effort is there, and the talent is adequet. They just need some more experience and time to learn. They are in good hands with Mick. I still don't think they quite get to .500 this year because they have a tough schedule ahead of them. However, they are going to make some noise and in the very near future they will be among the top in the Big East.
If you don't care about integrity, loyalty, and class I agree. And yes I'm still bitter and have all the right to be. It might be lame, but I support Andy and Bob only in college basketball. FSN.com has a great article on their site about how Andy was asked to seperate himself from Huggins and agree to not speak about him. Andy did the loyal thing and I will always respect him for that. The other guy interviewing was willing to say and do whatever it took to get the job. I guess that's fine with people that just want W's.
Look at Syracuse and their schedule and you won't be as impressed by this win. Syracuse has played nobody decent on the road and lost against any average team they played. Nice win for UC considering how bad they are I suppose.

This is the time. The real Reds organization is back.
I think that you may be giving Mick an unfair shake. I hate that Huggins was fired and would've really liked to see AK stay, but there is nothing I can do about it. I said it before and I still don't think that AK would have taken the job if asked. AK knew it was a bad situation. I've met Mick a couple times. I have a family member who is a very close friend. He also handles a lot of Mick's financial planning. I work also work with that family member. I just had the chance to speak with him briefly last week. He is a very classy person, however he is very quiet. That struck me as a little odd, but I wouldn't call it anything but shyness as strange as that sounds. He has always been very pleasant, always willing to talk a little about the team. Out of respect for him, its never gone beyond a simple your team played a very good game, are things improving as much as they appear? I don't try to pry any further than that. My realitive will talk all day about basketball though. He is a former player. Graduated in the mid 80's.
Anyway, that is just my personal expierence with Mick. You are entitled to your own opinion, and it is a respectable one.
On Syracuse, they may not be a ranked opponent, but they are a very solid young team with a lot of talent. The schedule really doesn't change my stance on that. They do however lack some depth and expierence. I would still have to say that they are probably going to win some big games against some very good opponents. Syracuse was a very good win for the Cats IMO.
I understand your frustration all too well buddy, but I hope to have you back as a UC fan sometime soon. It may take firing Nancy for some of us, but I hope the estranged fans come back sooner rather than later.
This is interesting to me. If you cared so much about class you probably wouldn't be a huge Bob Huggins fan. I was and still am a Huggs fan, and I hated to see him go. I was a huge supporter of AK and was mad when UC didn't hire him. AK represents all three of those characteristics from what I know of him. Huggs represents two of them. I'm a Huggs fan, but even I can admit he doesn't exactly exude class. In fact, I've heard many, many stories of him acting pretty classless, and even experienced a pretty classless moment of his first hand when I was still in high school.
You should learn to move on instead of being so bitter, it feels pretty good. I'm enjoying the limited success that we're having, and I'm hopeful for the future.
Less Adam H and more McClain seems to be a winning formula for this team I've noticed. Same with getting guys like Bishop more minutes.
McClain seems to change things underneath with just his presence for now, and they beat both Louisville and Syracuse with him getting more minutes.
I realize Adam is 6'10" and they have no one else other than McClain who can match his size - but he's sooo bad that I almost can't stand to watch him play at all. It's very rare that he does anything positive at all, and usually brings the rest of the team down with his mistakes and poor shooting and defense.
I'm not a big Adam H fan either. He's just not very talented. However, people booing him last night was uncalled for. The guy works hard and has a good attitude, there's just no sense in booing a college student who's busting his tail. Also people booed when he went in late in the game. Mick put him in for his free throw shooting, and sure enough he got fouled and hit both free throws before going to the bench. He did his job and still got booed.
Should be another fun game to watch tonight, what are some of your predictions? I just love watching this team this year. Not as much as the AK year though. They have an exciting feeling about them, I can't quite put my finger on it.
-LTlabnerIf you can't build a winning team with that core a fire-sale isn't the solution. Selling the franchise, moving them to Nashville and converting GABP into a used car lot is.
I'll be at the game too. I think we will hold it close, and I'm cautiously optimistic about this game. I'll go for the upset, 62-59.
How about predictions for attendence? I'm thinking 11,000 or more. It said they had over ten thousand at the last game.

Crowd looks sort of sparse on the tube, could be wrong.
Adam H doing his best hack job so far, already making mistakes and turning it over.
Down by 3 now...I LOVE how McClain changes things when he comes in - ecspecially against a small team like Nova.
Welcome to UC Alvin Mitchell, where you been?
Vaughn with 19 points already early in the 2nd half - he's hot and starting to look more like what we saw last year. 6th leading PPG in the BE.
UC hanging in there despite no inside game at all for some reason. Good game.
Adam H - ugh - he must have 5 turnovers tonight, just awful. For any one thing he does well, he does 3 things poorly. If they would just force him to only rebound and play defense, he would be fine. He can't score or handle the ball in any way.
Talking to myself - great win against a top 20 team tonight and confidence firmly restored in Cronin after the SJU debacle.
And I was dead wrong about the crowd - looks packed actually.
I think the Cats will struggle on the road just about every time, so it would be nice to see them do something there soon.
BTW - Yancy Gates on the tube now - wow he and McClain have sooo much potential - nice to think about for the next 3 years

I came to France in 2012 from Australia for 3 months. I fell in love with the Moulin and with a Frenchman and stayed. We have spent the last 2 years making my vision of gites on the property into a reality.
Anne Morgan-Menzato purchased this cottage in 2012
Having spent a few months in the area I came with friends to look at a watermill. I had no intention of buying anything but when I saw it I immediately felt calm and at home, away from the hustle and bustle of my busy corporate life in Australia.
The Petit Moulin is in easy access distance of Jarnac and Cognac for shopping and restaurants but is set in the old part of Veillard. A friendly location with the added advantage of the Boulangerie in walking distance.
On of my favourite things here is the bird life. We have a pair of kingfishers who can be seen regularly on the little bridge in the garden, watching for fish. Ducks in the garden, a Heron, Egret and many others passing by.

Notes on prices:
With a couple more cottages to complete there is a small amount of evidence of stored materials around and our prices are low to reflect this.
Lovely gite and owners, lovely part of France, we would be very happy to return in the future.
From the outside le petit moulin is full of character and beautifully kept. The inside is a wonderful contemporary surprise, with modern living at its very best. We have just returned from a lovely 8 day autumn break. The owners are charming, nothing is too much trouble, the grounds are lovely to walk round. Inside the gites there is everything you could wish for with high quality fixtures and fittings. The beds are massive and so comfortable. The welcome pack is a lovely touch and very appreciated. The whole house was immaculately clean. The village is tiny and very quiet, it has an amazing boulangerie. We've visited France for over 20 years, it is the best gite we have ever stayed in. There is lots to see and do locally, Cognac, Jarnac, Angouleme, La Rochelle, Talmont ..
The host Anne was very accommodating and was present on arrival, any issues we had were sorted immediately. The gite itself is very clean, spacious and has everything you could need for your stay. Anne had even left us some food and wine to get us going on our arrival. We would thoroughly recommend this gite.
We were greeted very warmly by Anne.A bottle of wine and a baguette was on the table,there was milk,orange juice,butter and cheese in the fridge.Wonderful.
We found Anne and her husband Christian very caring hosts.
Their gite is finished to a very high standard.
We would recommend this very highly to everyone.
Jarnac is the nearest town and only about a ten minute drive!
We recommend visiting the small Pineau producers.
What can I say? This is definitely one of the better Gites we have stayed in. The Mill is being renovated to the highest specification and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing break
I found this property on the Internet by chance on a Sunday morning, my wife and I were extremely impressed with it. We booked immediately and were not disappointed when we arrived. A high class finish, the property was spotless. The owners Anne and Christian made my wife, three children and I very welcome. There is a local Boulangerie about two minutes walk up the road. The area is close to Jarnac, Cognac and La Rochelle is a little over an hour away.
I would thoroughly recommend this property to couples and families.
I never really make a habit of going on holiday to the same place again but with this property I cannot wait to book for next year. Thank you Anne and Christian.

» About Talking Birds
» About our work
Since 1992 Talking Birds has been producing thoughtful, playful, resonant, mischievous and transformative meditations on people and place. Our work, which we call Theatre of Place, is characterised by a distinctive blend of humour, music and visual flair in venues both conventional and unconventional across the UK and internationally - from the Queen Elizabeth Hall on the South Bank, to Kilkenny Livestock Mart; from a cavernous underground car park in Scarborough, to a decommissioned hospital in Coventry, to a giant aluminium whale which swallows up audiences one at a time.
Often our work is made collaboratively, connecting people and place in richly imaginative moments of identification and insight. It is our experience that this work - always generous and thoughtful, in many cases gently provocative - is keenly, and often profoundly, felt by the communities in which it is presented.
We're particularly interested in making work in places which the public don't often get into, the sorts of places that you might stumble across by accident. Places which have interesting features, histories and former uses, perhaps layered with recollections and associations which are on the brink of slipping from living memory. Or places that are at the end of one use and not quite ready for the next.
Our projects invite people to explore a particular place of interest in a mediated way; weaving together its stories - real and imagined - to make accessible this neglected or forgotten space and encourage people to examine it in a new light.

Matthews International Corporation (NASDAQ:MATW) delivered a profit and met Wall Street's expectations, AND came up short on beating the revenue expectation. The revenue miss is a negative sign to shareholders seeking high growth out of the company. Shares are down 0%.
Matthews International Corporation Earnings Cheat Sheet
Results: Adjusted Earnings Per Share increased 10.77% to $0.72 in the quarter versus EPS of $0.65 in the year-earlier quarter.
Revenue: Rose 10.21% to $250.7 million from the year-earlier quarter.
Actual vs. Wall St. Expectations: Matthews International Corporation reported adjusted EPS income of $0.72 per share. By that measure, the company missed the mean analyst estimate of $0.72. It missed the average revenue estimate of $253.67 million.
Quoting Management: In discussing the Company's results for the quarter, Joseph C. Bartolacci, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated:
"Our consolidated results for the current quarter (on an adjusted basis) were in line with our internal expectations. The key demographics for Memorialization (U.S. death rates) continued to favorably affect this group as the operating results of the Funeral Home Products segment increased and our Cemetery Products sales improved with the seasonal increase in its markets. The Cremation segment also reported higher operating results in the U.S. for the recent quarter, which were offset by a decline in Europe and the impact of unusual charges.
Overall operating results for the Brand Solutions group improved for the current quarter. Our recent acquisitions are performing well and contributed to third quarter operating results. In addition, European markets were relatively stable overall for this group during the current quarter; however, recent softness in our U.S. and Chinese markets was a challenge. Several projects for this group anticipated for the third quarter were recently delayed.
"We continue to move forward with our cost-structure initiatives, as evidenced by the level of unusual charges. The benefits of these projects are expected to begin toward the end of next quarter and into fiscal 2014. Also, as we reported last quarter, the recent ERP implementation issues within our Cemetery Products business are behind us and we are now working to maximize the benefits of this system, including the launch of a new e‑services capability for our customers.
Mr. Bartolacci further stated: "In November 2012, we provided guidance that adjusted (non-GAAP) earnings per share were projected to be in the range of $2.45 to $2.55 for fiscal 2013. Based on our year-to-date fiscal 2013 operating results and our current forecasts, we are still projecting our adjusted results to be in this range."

Linus Torvalds Admits He's Been Asked To Insert Backdoor Into Linux 576
darthcamaro writes "At the Linuxcon conference in New Orleans today, Linus Torvalds joined fellow kernel developers in answering a barrage of questions about Linux development. One question he was asked was whether a government agency had ever asked about inserting a back-door into Linux. Torvalds responded 'no' while shaking his head 'yes,' as the audience broke into spontaneous laughter. Torvalds also admitted that while he as a full life outside of Linux he couldn't imagine his life without it. 'I don't see any project coming along being more interesting to me than Linux,' Torvalds said. 'I couldn't imagine filling the void in my life if I didn't have Linux.'"

Wenger: Best preparation for Man City and Chelsea clashes is beating Swansea
PUBLISHED: 14:55 05 January 2013
EMPICS Sport
Manager Arsene Wenger has challenged his Arsenal team to set themselves up for the crunch Barclays Premier League double against Manchester City and Chelsea by knocking Swansea out of the FA Cup tomorrow.
The Gunners will be looking to maintain momentum when they travel to Wales from a five-match unbeaten run which has taken them back to within striking distance of the top four - a gap which could have been closer had they not laboured to a frustrating 1-1 draw at Southampton on New Year's Day.
Champions City come to Emirates Stadium in a week's time, which is followed up by a trip to Stamford Bridge and both games are set to fully test the character of Wenger's side.
"The best way to prepare for our games against Manchester City and Chelsea is to come out on top against Swansea, which will be a difficult tie," Wenger told Arsenal Player.
"The FA Cup is always important, but we are on a good run overall and we want to keep that going."
Wenger added: "It (the Premier League) is tight, every game is massive which is why consistency is so important.
"All the teams are difficult to beat and if you are not completely at your best, it does not work."

Law, Finance, and Politics: The Case of India
The process of liberalisation of India's economy since 1991 has brought with it considerable development both of its financial markets and the legal institutions which support these. An influential body of recent economic work asserts that a country's 'legal origin'-as a civilian or common law jurisdiction-plays an important part in determining the development of its investor protection regulations, and consequently its financial development. An alternative theory claims that the determinants of investor protection are political, rather than legal. We use the case of India to test these theories. We find little support for the idea that India's legal heritage as a common law country has been influential in speeding the path of regulatory reforms and financial development. There is a complementarity between (i) India's relative success in services and software, (ii) the relative strength of its financial markets for outside equity, as opposed to outside debt, and (iii) the relative success of stock market regulation, as opposed to reforms of creditor rights. We conclude that political explanations have more traction in explaining the case of India than do theories based on 'legal origins'.

CG, decalage, and trim
Anybody have a handy link that fully explains how to systematically go about sorting out the interactions of those forces in order to "neutralize" a plane?
Just having a hard time figuring out multiple planes having similar yet way different issues (if that can make sense). |
I've heard they make great videos.
Guess I'll have to make a purchase. |
Would you mind expanding on what you mean? Do you mean balancing a model in the horizontal axis i.e. pitch?
What specific issues are you having? You could read "CG Position" and "Decalage" here: http://tailwindgliders.com/Tips.html Thanks Curtis |
yeah, I used to know a lot about planes, now I just think I know. I was hoping nobody would ask to explani because I don't think I can.
I thought porpoising was tailheavy...but then a dive test has it pulling up quickly which wuold indicate up-trim i.e. noseheavy?? And another plane wallows around badly like it's noseheavy, but its dive test has it diving more and more nidicating down-trim i.e. tailheavy...which it doesn't feel like in flight. I have an incidence meter somewhere, but four moves in a few years means I need to dig some more. I was kinda hoping to find a source of all the info in one spot...such as the video, but which I had hoped to find free. I tried minor balancing change but only seem to make the plane fly overall worse. I just need to start from scratch. |
Thanks, that helps a lot.
1) Launch model 2) Trim the elevator for hands off flying at what appears to be your best glide or L/D speed 3) Now push the nose over into a 30-40 degree dive, after a few seconds release your elevator to neutral 4) Observe what happens..... Results: 1) If it pulls out very gradually you are all set 2) If it pulls out quickly, land, remove nose weight and repeat starting at step #1, but trim some down elevator prior to launching 3) if it tucks or continues straight ahead it is tail heavy, remove tail weight or add nose weight. Trim a little up elevator and go back to step #1 The key to all of this is getting the model trimmed for straight and level flight to begin with. If you trim for a different speed you will get different results. Curtis Montana |
Porpoising is normally caused by a nose heavy model. As the model banks into a turn the nose will drop due to lift vector changes thus it picks up speed slightly since it was trimmed with a lot of up elevator to compensate for the nose heavy condition, as it does the model will self correct and climb. Then the pilot is always correcting for climbs and descents thus the porpoising or over controlling. A properly balanced model is easier to fly than either a nose or tail heavy model as it requires less pilot correction.
Changing incidence will only cause the fuselage to fly at a different angle to the flight path. Hope this helps. Curtis |
Sorry, I indeed misspoke regarding porpoising as nose-heavy.
See? I've been out of the hobby so long I can't even get the terms right! I think my failing memory is simply not remembering what the flying characteristics of a nose/tail-heavy plane. That's gotta be it. The only thing I know for sure is that if there is trim given to a surface, that it will have a greater effect the faster it's flying. Another issue is that they seem to fly differently every time...perhaps it's the wind speed being different each time. I had it dialed in so nice on the slopes, then took it out on a winch for thermaling and I just couldn't seem to get it to fly right. Additionally, I recall the Radian Pro thread going into decalage mods to get it to fly better...and since there's a lot of interaction between the three forces, I figured it'd be best to start from scratch with the decalage, then re-dive test and adjust balance accordingly...but now I think I need to just work on one single plane, do one single thing at a time in small increments, and just experiment. Then there's my personality trait of not wanting to do something experimentally without being sure of what I'm doing. My head was getting all confused trying to wrap around seemingly conflicting info, such as having up elevator trim, yet diving in dive-test...and now I'm just blah blah blahing without giving any useful info. |
Had the same basic discussion several times in the hand launch thread and I am sure in this thread.
this is the one I started: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show....php?t=1762343 I went through the RC Soaring Digest also (I listed the articles from each I was interested in. Some may help you with this question). Lots of guys with many letters after their name discussing the validity of the dive test, etc. http://www.rcsoaringdigest.com/pdfs/...SD-1991-08.pdf designing a sailplane pt 3 Understanding thermal Soaring Sailplanes pt4 - Ballance, Trim and Vortex Drag Launching http://www.rcsoaringdigest.com/pdfs/...SD-1992-02.pdf Flying in wind and weather CG, Elevator, Trim and decalage - theory http://www.rcsoaringdigest.com/pdfs/...SD-1992-03.pdf Flying in wind and weather CG, Elevator, Trim and decalage - practice The joy of competitive soaring http://www.rcsoaringdigest.com/pdfs/...SD-1992-04.pdf Flying in wind and weather CG, Elevator, Trim and decalage - The Utility Vacuum Feed through fitting http://www.rcsoaringdigest.com/pdfs/...SD-1992-09.pdf Flying in wind and weather CG, Elevator, Trim and decalage - Trimming techniques Programming the X347 On flying upside down http://www.rcsoaringdigest.com/pdfs/...SD-1993-01.pdf Addenda to Programming the X347 Decalage Again? Understanding Sailplanes Jer's Mold Making Part 1 And it goes on after that a few times as well. What I got was this: 1. CG sets stability. Back is less stable but more readily indicates lift. Unfortunately, you will need to be on the sticks more to correct for the turbulence. Forward dampens turbulence in pitch but also can mask thermals. It takes practice, not settings to differentiate lift from turbulence. 2. Decalage sets trim speed. How fast do you want to fly? you can adjust the decalage for faster or slower flight. Flatter is faster. In the end, it is a preference thing. Set all three the way you like the plane to fly. All three can change for some based on weather (wind and turbulence) conditions. Unless you are way off, no setting will make a plane horrible or suoper fantastic. It is still the pilot behind the sticks that wins contests. Enjoy the reading. I have. Frank |
Wow, lots!! Thanks!
Oh...this'll prolly happen a bit as I remember things as they come up...
I mentioned decalage because one plane pulls up in a dive and so I assumed it was needing tailweight...yet it has about 1.5-2mm up elevator trim to begin with...which, if given no other info whatsoever, one could assume it was noseheavy. So conflicting, right? up trim=noseheavy, yet pullout from dive=tailheavy. P.S. I've only just started reading all the wonderful references above, so hopefully not asking something that could have been answered already. |
Stalls get sharper and nastier as the c.g. goes back. A tail heavy glider may diverge without a correction. For instance, it may go faster and faster and faster, pitching down all the while. Or it may pitch up a little and get really slow, without correcting itself, and stall hard. |
One day I want to do an instructional video on this subject as it would complement my prior productions and folks ocer complicate it. No offense intended. I have an outline and a title but I need do graphic work and I do not have the skills or patience for it. Perhaps in a year or two from now. Curtis |
It's not really so confusing. Assume the plane is flying straight and level. It is staying level because it is balanced. By balanced, I mean that either it's weight is perfectly balanced and the horizontal stabilizer/elevator is not exerting any up or down force OR the weight is not perfectly balanced but the stab is exerting the perfect amount of up or down force to keep the plane level. Assume that the second case is true. When you put the plane in a dive, the nose weight does not change, regardless of the airspeed. However, the force exerted by the stab increases as the airspeed increases, so the balance achieved during level flight no longer exists. The out of balance plane will now either nose over even further, or recover from the dive, depending on whether the stab was exerting an upward force or a downward force during level flight. If the plane is nose heavy, then during level flight the stab had to exert a downward force to keep the plane balanced. When you dive the plane, this downward force increases but the nose weight stays the same, and the tail is forced down, which then forces the nose up, and the plane pulls up. If the plane is nose light (tail heavy) then during level flight the stab is lifting, and during a dive the tail lift increases, forcing the plane into an even steeper dive.
hmm...you're all saying what I thought was true, but previously adding nose/tailweight didn't yield satisfactory results.
hmm...perhaps I am a bit hung up regarding having the control surfaces neutralized for a neutralized flight, and need to ignore the "up-trim" for now. Therefore, as I mentioned before, I need to start from scratch. However! I need to do this more specifically than just "add/subtract weight". I need to mark the current CG and make incremental adjustments and re-measure and re-mark CG...then fly. Previously, I made adjustments on the slope (which means no way to actually check CG due to non-static/windy conditions) and then fly. I get too...what's the word?...pppffff and just "do something" rather than take an analytical and incremental approach. It's good to know that, at the very least, the way I saw the plane was on the right track...but what I did with that info was not. More importantly!!! I can't just go with three or more planes on one trip and try to remember exactly what each one is doing differently! |

Dynamic Image Replacement: Practical Techniques and Tools
When it comes to web design, creativity of design should not be hold back by the limited choices of supported web fonts we call the web-safe fonts. Designers should be having freedom to use any fonts they preferred on titles and contents.
In 2005, dynamic image replacement was made popular with a technique called Scalable Inman Flash Replacement (sIFR). Developed by Shaun Inman, sIFR take advantage of Javascript and Adobe Flash to allow web designers to use any custom fonts they like on the website and still maintain visibility to those who don't have that font. And as the web continues to evolve, today we have more alternative solutions using various technologies, just in case you are not quite a fan of Flash.
Without further ado, let's take a look at some of the techniques to achieve Dynamic Image Replacements.
Commonly Used Techniques
Here are some of the most commonly practiced techniques for dynamic image replacements.
Scalable Inman Flash Replacement (sIFR)
sIFR is one of the most popular method to embed custom fonts on websites. It uses Javascript and Flash to generate custom typeface for your website and allows converted typeface to be selectable. Aside from that, converted typeface remains as text in source codes so search engine can still crawl them.
sIFR 2 (recommended) is the current stable release, however if you are looking into implementing sIFR, you should also know that siFR 3 beta is also available for download. It might be a little buggy but at least it solves the font-expansion problem of sIFR 2.
Tools for sIFR that might come in handy:
- sIFRvaultsIFRvault is a repository of sIFR fonts you can download.
- sIFR GeneratorOnline tool that allows you to create sIFR .swf files with a few clicks of your mouse. Simply upload the TTF font of the font you want to convert, preview and download.
- Convert fonts to sIFRUpload a .TTF font and this website will have them converted to sIFR Flash file.
sIFR Lite
The original sIFR is 22k, so Dave decided to rework it using a more object-oriented approach, and the result? 3x smaller at 3.7k.
PHP + CSS Dynamic Text Replacement (P+C DTR)
As the name suggest, this is a text replacement method that uses PHP and CSS that make use of the original method described by Steward Rosenberger. It is also an enhancement from the previous version developed by R. Marie Cox that doesn't support text wrapping and inner tags. Another cool thing about P+C DTR is, the image text can be customizable with CSS tags.
Personally after some experiments with typeface.js, we think there could be some potential room for improvements. Firstly, the fonts tend to render slightly different among different browsers. If you are using typeface.js, we suggest you do a cross-browser check before assuming what you see in Firefox will be what you see in Safari. Text are also not selectable with typeface.js.
Custom fonts in typeface.js are not compiled; meaning users are able to download the fonts. That could lead to copyright problem. It's advised that you checked thoroughly to make sure the fonts you are using are ok for redistribution.
The biggest problem with Cufon would be the legal issue of using these custom fonts online. Since it's embedded within Javascript , it can be easily ripped by anyone who view the source code. Cufon custom fonts are not selectable, that's the other turn off.
Also known as Facelift Image Replacement (FLIR), it is another great method to sIFR that do no required Flash. Looks like very other alternative is hitting in sIFR's Flash issue.
Facelift uses PHP and PHP's GD Library. They inherit the legacy problem of custom font replacements – unable to select the text. Aside from that, we think it's great too.
More Methods
The techniques above might be more widely used, but we've noticed some other ways too to give convert your text into beautiful custom typefaces.
Type Select
TypeSelect leverages on typeface.js, jQuery, the canvas, toDataURL, CSS background properties and real overlayed text to give a custom typeface on your website. Text selection works on Firefox, Safari and even Chrome but not IE.
Swf Image Replacement (swfIR)
swfIR gives you the ability to apply an assortment of visual effects to any or all images on your website. For example, you can add any images on your website and swfIR will add a rounder border, rotate the positioning or even add shadows to it.
Scalable Jens Image Replacement
Created by Jens Persson and based on sIFR, this method uses javascript to replaces some elements in a (X)HTML document with calls to a image generator written in php. Allowing you to use fonts in your web design that is not available on the users computer.
Nine Techniques for CSS Image Replacement
These are not dynamic text replacements, but Chris Coyier demonstrates as much as nine different CSS techniques to replace text with images; each with a report card listing the condition of – what if images are on/off, CSS is on/off.
Font Burner
Font Burner leverage on Scalable Inman Flash Replacement (sIFR) to change your titles into custom font. All you need to do is find the font, selects it and insert the code into the head and your title will be changed in no time.
WordPress + Dynamic Image Replacement
If you are a WordPress user looking for dynamic image replacement solution for the title or even the content of your blog, chances are there are plugin for them. Here are some text replacement plugins we come to know about.
sIFR WordPress Plugin – WP sIFRWP sIFR was created to remove the complications from getting custom fonts on a WordPress site. With WP sIFR, you only have to upload your SWF font file to the plugin directory and then login, activate it, and configure its styles all in the Settings panel.
Cufon WordPress Plugin – WP-CufonThe only thing you have to do is converting your fontfiles and upload them into the plugins directory. You can enable the objects you want to get replaced in the Admin Menu of WordPress.
Font Burner Control PanelThe Font Burner Control Panel plugin allows you to easily add any of the 1000+ free fonts available on the Font Burner website to your WordPress theme.

Review: 'The Last Boyfriend' by Nora Roberts
By Michelle Monkou, USA TODAY
Three cheers for Nora Roberts' second installment of the Inn BoonsBoro Trilogy, The Last Boyfriend. Once again, we visit Boonsboro, Md., to witness another couple fall in love, another couple soon to be wed and another couple … well, you've just got to wait and see. In this small town, where romance blooms, the love affair continues with the refurbished Inn BoonsBoro, Vesta Pizzeria, Turn the Page's specialty coffees and books, and the myriad other retailers and residents on bustling Main Street.
The Montgomery family — mother Justine and her sons, Owen, Beckett and Ryder — have rebuilt the historic inn on the corner of Main Street and St. Paul, unveiled in book one, The Next Always. Now we come indoors and bask in the delicious details about the romantic-themed suites and the loving care that went into picking every item — furniture, tiles, decorations — to make each guest have a special experience.
Owen Montgomery, the ultimate organizer in the family's construction business, is a stickler for efficiency, checklists and budgets. While his brothers tease and sabotage his efforts with their own chaotic and impulsive actions, he still manages to open the inn on schedule. Fate, however, tilted his world just a tad with Avery McTavish.
Avery McTavish is a hard worker, risk-taker and a woman full of gutsy pizzazz. She owns Vesta Pizzeria, a diagonal shot from the inn where she can hang with her girlfriends and stick close to Owen. Their romance began as kids, and their mutual feelings didn't diminish as they grew to adulthood. While Avery may be cautious and a bit skittish with the current upswing of their relationship, Owen is up for the hard work and full-somersault dive into the deep end of the pool to win her heart.
Roberts opens her heart and invites the die-hard romantics to stick around and snuggle with this poignant tale about trust, commitment and optimism. The second chance at love weaves its own life lessons, proving that it's never too late to fall and stay in love. Happy ever after rules the day.
Michelle Monkou is a best-selling romance author who lives by the motto "live, love, and laugh." Her website is MichelleMonkou.com.

Stars and Their Big, Fat Mouths
Whatever will the little geniuses say next?
-Mean Betty
This, kittens, is what Mean Betty has been pondering this week: Why, oh, why do celebrities say such dumb things? Do they do it for our amusement? Do they do it to get the attention they pretend they don't want? Or are they so effing darn dumb they think that anything they say is smart?
Let's look closer, darlings, at this strange phenomenon:
Madonna has decided, goodness knows why, to direct a movie about the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Back in the 1930s, the Duke gave up the throne of Great Britain for the woman he loved.
Our little superstar–or Madge, as she's become known since she started faking a British accent–told The Daily Telegraph in London that she's been reading about Wallis Simpson, the Duchess, for simply years. (Mean Betty is so happy that Madge's strenuous academic research hasn't interfered with her pursuit of bubble-butted Brazilian men. But then, Madge has always been a multitasker.)
Read Mean Betty on Tori, Dean and Celebrity Vow-Renewing
"People have accused Wallis of all kinds of things," Madge says, defending her fellow American. "They've said that she put a spell on Edward. They've said that she was a hermaphrodite and that he was gay. They've said they were Nazi sympathizers. It's just the usual lynch-mob mentality that descends upon somebody who has something that lots of other people don't have."
Mean Betty gently suggests that Madge stop looking at butts and return to her second-rate historical novels research. Anybody who knows anything about history knows that the dimwitted Duke and his grasping wife were Nazi sympathizers who gave Hitler a chummy "Sieg Heil" salute when they were in Europe and expected to be made King and Queen of England once Hitler won.
But Madge seems to think they got a bad rap just because they were…rich and famous. What insight! Such food for thought! Could the same be said about Attila the Hun? The Borgias? Ivan the Terrible?
We're sure that wherever they are (and somehow Mean Betty doesn't think it's the place with the fluffy clouds and people in white robes), the Duke and Duchess are most appreciative.

How was your weekend? Hope you had time to do something enjoyable. I had fun working out in my garage.
Before I begin, I just want to thank you for all the wonderful compliments on my headboard makeover. That was my most commented post since I started blogging last May. Whoo Hooo! That extra pat on the back is so affirming and I am motivated and excited to finish many of my other DIY projects, so that I can continue to share them with you.
I purchased this chair from Build It Green! NYC and it has been sitting in my garage for sometime waiting to be made over. The seat was not in the best shape and the metal had this brown patina that I thought would come off with some steel wool and elbow grease. When it didn't, I decided to use some Rustoleum spray paint to restore the finish. However, the paint didn't adhere and rubbed right off. I didn't think I needed to prime it, but I guess I should have. So I rubbed the paint off with some more steel wool and guess what? The brown patina just about disappeared and the original metal finish was restored. Not sure how that happened, but I was ecstatic. Next, I flipped the seat over, conditioned it and applied some natural stain to it. What do you think?
As for it's twin….
You do see the resemblance, don't you? Similar legs with a curly cue design; how about fraternal twins? Purchased from the same place during another visit, this one had no seat and a badly chipped paint finish. I applied some Citrus Stripper to remove the paint. It came off pretty easily but trying to get into all the twist and turns of the metal was somewhat tedious, but I persevered. It looks like galvanized metal, so I will have to paint it. Not sure what color though I was thinking silver to match it's twin. For those of you who may not know, keep in mind I am a blue/brown fanatic who is in the honeymoon stages with the color turquoise. Also, they might be placed in the same or separate rooms and will probably be used to hold a plant or my reading stash next to my bed. What do you think? What color should I paint it?
I will be linking this post to:

Fortunately a team of researchers has hit on a solution that can improve throughput by 700 percent—and because it's software-based, it won't even need any new hardware to have us all contentedly online. Advertisement You can think of every Wi-Fi access point you use as a single-lane highway to the internets: each one operates at a single frequency, so every device which uses a hotspot has to send and receive its data along that single path. At home you're the only user, so there's nothing to get in your way, but throw in tens or hundreds of people and—ugh—suddenly you're competing.The obvious way to improve the situation is to ramp up the bandwidth available to that channel: jump from, say, a connection of 50 megabits per second to 100 and the same number of connected users will notice a massive difference. But there are upper limits on bandwidth due to hardware—and while they're gradually increasing, it's a slow procedure. Advertisement That's where a team of engineers from NC State University come in. Essentially, they've developed new software that runs on a Wi-Fi access point to monitor and deal with congestion. Called WiFox, the software monitors traffic on the network: when there's congestion on an access point, the software grants that single channel high priority and gives over all the bandwidth available to it in order to alleviate congestion as quickly as possible.The details of how all this works are a little scant, though it must be able to detect congestion and allocate bandwidth extremely quickly in order to work. And work it seems to: tests at NCSU loaded up a Wi-Fi access point with devices and demonstrated throughput improvements of 400 percent with 25 users and up to 700 percent when there were 45.That's pretty mind blowing, and would turn your Starbucks wireless connection into something, like, useable. The good news is that, because it's all software-based, there's no reason this can't be rolled out in firmware updates. What are you waiting for NCSU?

Road Map
- Number of achievements: 50 for 1000 - Estimated achievement difficulty: 3/10 - Offline: All - Online: None - Estimated time for 1000: 60 hours (see below) - Minimum playthroughs: 21 (see below) - Missable achievements: None - Do cheats affect achievements: No Cheats - Does difficulty affect achievements: Yes, some achievements are difficulty specific. - Glitched achievements: None -Unobtainable achievements: Nonr -Extra equipment needed: No Introduction Way of the Samurai 3 is an RPG with a definite Western Flavour despite being Japanese made. The combat and gameplay is 3rd person action. The big selling point for this game is in its replay ability, as the game focuses on choice and consequence, every action and decision you take influences the outcome of the story. Unfortunately, these choice and consequence mechanics are poorly implemented. The choices have very little impact on your progress through the story as most story elements are available for you to see on every playthrough, and only occasionally are any made redundant by your choices. Even then, it has no noticeable effect until you come to the end of the story. Here things can get fairly different, however, these too are limited as all the endings happen in the same 3 or 4 different ways with only very slight variations. Ultimately it is a poorly implemented mechanic and it is difficult to really get behind the characters or story as very little makes any real sense. This is one purely for gameplay and achievements. Time for Playthrough. 60 hours is about average really. It might take you a little longer if youre unlucky, however it is quite possible to do things much faster. The endings themselves should take you no more than about 10-12 hours. The bulk of the rest of the time is taken up by grinding out the other achievements and weapons/skills. Minimum Playthroughs. There are 21 different endings to find altogether plus 7 different credits which will unlock by the time you see all 21. Whilst 21 is the base limit for number of Playthroughs, you will actually rack up dozens more brief runs during your grinding for weapons and skills. Missable Achievements. None as all your progress is accumulative. Glitched Achievements. None that Ive experienced, however, Blunt Attack and Killer seem not to unlock when killing innocents and must be done armed opponents. Also, there IS a glitch in the game that can make it difficult to keep track of your progress. There is a records screen in the game which has a habit of causing your game to freeze and crash when you try to access it. Theories abound as to why, but none of them so far have proven to work for everyone. To avoid this being an issue, just follow the endings guide in order so you dont get mixed up and keep a track of which titles youve earned using a pad and pen or (like me) using word or similar on your laptop/PC. Walkthrough Step 1: Preperation Phase In this phase you will focus purely on unlocking some achievements and stocking up on some in game items and swords that are necessary as well as gaining yourself full health and money. Please Follow the link below to a thread detailing this preperation phase. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?p=3647858#post3647858 Achievements Unlocked: Samurai Leader, Samurai Hero, Legendary Samurai, Extra Sword Safe, Head Collector, Outfit Collector, Bare Hands Stance Mastery, Dual Sword Stance Mastery, Ninja Dual Sword Stance Mastery, Weapon Forger, Forged Weapon, Blunt Attack, Killer, First Time and Skill Collector. Total 160 Step 2: Endings. In this step youll focus purely on getting all the endings, unlocking an ending on every difficulty and any story related achievements. You also likely unlock a few miscellaneous achievements along the way. Keep your weapons guide close to hand at all times so you can keep checking off each new weapon you pick up. Just follow the endings guide linked under the Way of the Samurai achievement and remember to get at least one ending on each difficulty. It should take you a total of about 10-12 hours to go through all the stories. Achievements Unlocked: Ending, Five Stories, Way of the Samurai, Weak Samurai, Skilled Samurai, Master Samurai, Samurai Slayer, Samurai 4EvR!, Victory, Assassin, Weapon Collector, Amana Native. Total 500 Step 3. Weapons and Skills In this step we Concentrate purely on grinding for all remaining weapons and unlocking all their skills. To begin with, go through the Weapons List and start working through them. Once you start concentrating on them youll be surprised at just how quickly you pick them up. The only ones that take any real time are the unique ones that require a lot of work before hand. If you hadnt already done so in the last step, you will now unlock the Weapon Arsenal and Bushido achievements. As youre working through these weapons youll come to companions who have weapons, if you havent already done so, make one of them your partner to unlock the Relationship achievement. Also during this stage make sure to do the Big Mouth job and break his weapon to earn the Weapon Destroyer achievement, then kill him and pick up the weapon to get a regular and blunt kill with (best done on Instant Kill) to unlock the Zero Kill and Zero Blunt Attack achievements. Once you have all of the weapons you can start working on unlocking all their skills for all the remaining Stance Mastery and Weapon Skill achievements. As with the other Stance Mastery achievements. This will require you to deal with Uepon in Posting Station. Follow the path set out under the Ninja Stance Mastery achievement in the guide to do this as quickly as possible. There is a suggestion around that you should take the Partner Yukino with you when you do this as she lets you access the Sword Safe anywhere, I disagree, this would largely be a waste of time. Each round of 10 of each scroll type costs 36,000 Yen. You quickly burn through Money doing this and whilst having Yukino with you would mean you can perhaps upgrade and extra 6 or 8 weapons per run, it takes a lot of work to get her to like you enough to stay with you during the day when you would need her. The time that takes would equal a good 3 or 4 runs of normal, thats a total of around 20 swords in the time she could help you upgrade about 14 or 15. This step should take you around 20 hours to do, but it can easily be anywhere from 12-30 hours depending on how lucky you are. Achievements Unlocked: Upper Stance Mastery, Middle Stance Mastery, Lower Stance Mastery, Single Stance Mastery, Side Stance Mastery, Spear Stance Mastery, Draw Stance Mastery, Ninja Stance Mastery, Weapon Destroyer, Weapon Master, Weapon Specialist, Master of Skills, Weapon Arsenal, Payday, Job Seeker, Relationship, Bushido, Zero Kill and Zero Blunt Attack. Total 250 Step 4: Mop Up In this step we are simply going to work on the few remaining achievements. You shouldnt have many at all, about a half dozen at most. If youve followed this Road Map religiously you will have 4 left at most. The 2 Title achievements are strange. It is equally possible that you will have more than 20 by now through natural play, or you could have less than 5. Not too likely, but possible. First, the titles. If you still need these, just start working through the list of Titles. Start a run, earn one, then Leave Amana and save to store it. Just keep going until the achievements unlock. Finally the Chain Kill achievements. To get these, follow the guide under the Power of 100 achievement. Just remember that youll likely need to do this on Hard to make sure you get the enemies around you. Theres no way to judge how long this will take you. If youre lucky you can get this done in a couple of tries at best, if youre not so lucky, you could be at these for hours. Just persevere, it will happen for eventually. Achievements Unlocked: Power of 10, Power of 100, Title Collector and Title Master. Total 90 Conclusion Overall, Way of the Samurai 3 is a relatively simple and straightforward 1000. There is a fair amount of work to do, and the journey is not the most interesting, so be prepared for long stretches of boredom. However, with a week or two of solid playing this is a relatively easy 1000 to manage. Just bring a bucket full of patience.

Berlin, Dresden, Prague
Trip Start
Dec 09, 2013
Trip End
Jan 27, 2014
We arrived in Berlin after dark, and found a taxi willing to transport ourselves and our bags ( which must be both feeding well and breeding beause they have increaed in size and girth). The Office for our apartments gave us some misgivings because it was up two old fights of stairs, the lift was not working, the lights inside were dim, and when I reached what I thought was the office doors, they were bolted shut. However, we eventually found our Berliner apartments. Quite nice. Sparse, almost Art Deco design, in a strange neighbourhood which combines amazing antique shops selling genuine His Master's Voice gramophones, and Russian Military uniforms and weapons, with stores peddling leather bondage and fetish!
Dinner in an American Style Diner. Why not? My journey into German vegetarian food starts as expected, with carbs and cheese. John has yet to try the Berlin staple of currywurst.
Still trying to get used to European bedding. Large square very soft pillows. Funny dooner things, single size, folded in half. No instructions.
Breakfast black coffee ( for me) and pastries from the Bakerei downstairs. We spent the day walking around Berlin. We find crossing roads slightly less confusing than in Amsterdam. Not quite as many bikes out to get us. We still forget which way to look for cars, which can be interesting. And it doesn't seem as if trams give way to pedestrians...ever.
We start off in the Old East Berlin, and find a few remnants of the wall, now covered in graffiti or murals, which was so prominent a division of the city at our last visit 23 years ago. John and I recall the constant ring of hammer on chisel as souvenir hunters all over Europe slowly tore the wall down. Now small morsels are for sale in plastic containers, or as earrings or pendants...but are they genuine?
We find Checkpoint Charlie, and visit a memorial to the wall. We also walk through the Brandenburg Gates, then, because it is cold and windy, retreat to our second stadtfahren bus (the first the red double decker back in London) which doubles for us as public transport. We h spend most of the day in the old Eastern Berlin, which is a collage of old buildings under repairs (covered with painted canvas facades), cranes, building sites and shiny glass high rise housing the usual Western franchises like Starbucks. John shows Jack the residual damage from shrapnel and bullets in the walls.
Actually, we use Starbuck's for lunch, because we can order a coffee, and eat our picnic lunch and nobody seems to care....and we are out of the cold wind. Coffee from Starbucks is nicht sehr gut! (That's why they never made it in Australia).
Briony's dream street is the Kurfustendam, lined on both sides with shops. Dinner is at the Bavarian styled Hofbrauhaus. John has a couple of steins. I don't drink beer anymore, but the wine servings in fish bowl glasses are equally generous. John has a pork knuckle. I have something which my Highschool German translated as cheese noodles with mushrooms, which turned out to be mac cheese with no mushrooms! Jack can,t have his chicken Parmigiana (his staple fave food) so J and B settle for schnitzel).
Used our stadtfahren bus again. A sobering day, with visit to the Topographie des Terrors, set on the excavation of the building used by the German SS Central Command and Gestapo Headquarters before and during the War, and outlining in chronological order the menace and manipulation of Hitler and his group, and how they succeeded in marginalising the Jews, people with disabilities, gypsy groups and Eastern Europeans. He was extraordinarily manipulative, obviously intelligent, irrational, obsessed....and this possibly contributed to the German war loss. One harrowing story after another. Impossible to believe any of it could happen.
This is followed by further exploration of the Holocaust Memorial. This is a block of land, which has been filled with 2711 blocks of smooth concrete of varying heights (like multiple copies the monolith from the movie 2001). If you step to the side, you quickly lose you way. Somehow the concrete dulls sound. John thought it might symbolise the isolation and hopelessness. There us a subterranean memorial, again full of harrowing stories. In one room each Jew killed during the Holocaust is named, with birth and death dates. It will take more than six years to go through each name. So many families utterly destroyed. So many children, girls like Anne Frank trying to have a normal life. Living so far away, in our isolated continent, these events have had little, impact on our lives.
We finished our day with a stroll through the Tiergarten as the sun went down (actually it was cloudy, no sun, but it was dusk). Watched red squirrels scuttle up bare trees. Leapt out of the way of speeding rush hour cyclists riding home after work. I really wanted to ride a bike in Berlin. Nice and flat, with good cycling oaths. But the rental stands here required an annual subscription!
Turkish dinner from one of the many turkish take aways. Tomorrow to Dresden.
Train to Dresden early in the morning. We walked to the Hauptbahnhoff in Berlin, and were in Dresden well before lunch. Dresden has changed since John and I were here, 23 years ago, for the Unification day. (Einhartstag 3/10/9).
Cleaner air now than 23 years ago. An amazing clash of culture, with the coming together of Western shopping chains, all shiny glass and Neon, with beautiful Gothic and Baroque churches and schloss.. The now fully restored Frauenkirche which was a pile of post war rubble last time we were here. We explored our corner of Dresden, near the Elbe, and the junction of Neuestadt and Alt stadt. Briony admired the shops. Jack found solace with Wifi outside the Apple store. Dresden seems not as crowded, certainly in this part, as Berlin. A great place to ride bikes. And friendly, easily able to strike uo conversation with my dreadful German and the local's much better English.
Dinner at a chain in Germany Vampiano. No waiters, you take a card, order your food at the counter, they cook it in front of you eg pizzas, fresh pasta, and charge it to your card. Then find a table, this can be hard, and enjoy. Long table means more time to meet people. No waiting staff means cheaper to eat.
Then after dark we explored the courtyard and terraces of the Zwinger Palace, until it became too cold.
Dresden to Prague
Train cabin to selves
Breakfast croissant coffee fruit yum.
John walked down to the Dresden University, still a row of GDR concrete boxes, where we had such an amazing time on Unification Day 23 years ago. Our DB Bahn train was like all things German, efficient, functional, not especially comfortable. No WIFI which is the norm so far on trains, despite the web site claiming WIFI access on trains. Might be accessible on Superior Class seats. We had a cabin to ourselves to spread our suitcases in.
Prague main station (Praha HLN) was confusing. Although we had tried to brush up on Czech while travelling, I for one could not retain any of it. Much harder than French, or German. We had been warned about taxies overcharging naive tourists, and found the Taxi Fair Place stand.
Our Hotel in Prague is the Hotel Salvador, in a tiny cobblestoned street that the taxi amazingly negotiates without a problem. It has a wonderful Bohemian feel, yellow ochre, sky blue, burgundy and bottle green. Our room is on the third floor, up a glass elevator, and overlooks a tiny courtyard. We are within walking distance of Old town Square, and we have time to explore the alleyways, tourist pedlars, and Christmas Market Stores. ( these small red brown timber shacks are a delight all over Europe, selling gluhwein, -mulled wine, beer, waffles and crepes with chocolate, fudge, and various wares. In other cities they were pulled down on the 12th day of Christmas, a sad sight to see, as the Ice rinks were chopped up and ice slowly melts on the pavement. Here in Prague they are in moderately full swing, although you have the impression they will be dismantled sometime soon.)
Tourist shops here sell colourful crystal and glass, Russian bear hats, Russian dolls, marrionettes modelled after all the fairy tale characters you can think of, as well as the usual Tshirts, beanies and scarves.
There are more homeless in Prague than we have seen so far. We did not really see any in Berlin or Dresden at all. Here they prostrate them selves in the cold streets, with a paper cup or hat to collect Czech Crowns. Many are young girls. Many have canine companions, wrapped in coats, serving for friendship and perhaps extra enticement to tourists to part with their coins. Street theatre abound s in the Square. To our amusement, one of the white faced angels is always joking with the crowd, or the police, or smoking, instead of holding the frozen posture of his colleagues. I think he does well.
Trdlnik, we must not forget the devine pastries cooked on a stick over hot coals. Mix of flour, almond paste and honey. Quite heavy, although not as filling as Jack's crepe with Nutella he insists on each day. The stalls also sell Cooked Pork from the Spit on bread rolls, and fried potato skins. Briony and i have decided we are doing the eating tour of Europe, and will make a list of outstanding food from each country we visit.
We have Dinner in the Bohemian restaurant.downstair because we have free drinks...John ecstatic (not) at last has "Masterchef" style meal with big white plate, small portion food and creative drizzle sauce.

Man Pleads Not Guilty to Murder in Chicago
ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) – A South Dakota man has pleaded not guilty to murdering a woman in Chicago.
Twenty-nine-year-old Daniel Neasom is accused of pushing 39-year-old Cynthia Barnes out of the window of a third-story apartment after an argument in July 2011.
Neasom was living in Chicago at the time. He eventually moved to Aberdeen, where he was arrested in January. He faces two murder charges because of different theories on how Barnes died. She also was reportedly stabbed during the altercation.
The American News reports that Neasom is due back in court June 4.

I teach my pokemon anything it eats - look at the Valentine thread. In order to gain 2 levels, you just had to teach Icy wind (1 of the moves at least). I'm not putting down an extra move just for the sake of realism. This time, I had to teach Icy wind to a lotad, which isn't too bad.
But I have a snorunt with magical leaf, and a whiscash with seedbomb. So there.
I feel sorry for Yuki, Fishy and PG...
This is why I want to become an updator of the Cloud Garden... so Yuki has some help...
Though I would only update 3-5 people...
Two announcements:
1. male Horsea for sale!
2. Lost Cities of Talas zone on SPPf open! :3
Squirtle obtained! ... Now how to raise him...
I think I'll give Talas a miss for now.

I generally don't advertise pokemon I don't want to keep. So if you think you would like a pokemon that I have just hatched, you have approximately 2 weeks to grab that from me before it goes to the adoption center automatically. I leave a 2 week gap before dropping it off because people's taste often swing around within that 2 week period (and because some people might miss it because they are on vacation for 1 week etc).
So far, not many have wanted any pokemon I've held on to temporarily, so that might have encouraged me to put it up for adoption without advertising even more.
I finally got enough candies to adopt that Swablu =D Naming her Topaz. Yay~!
Does anyone know who dropped her off, by the way?
You guys do me a favor, OK? If any of you adopts the most recently dropped off male Squirtle, let me know. I'm the original trainer, and I'd be interested to know who it's going to.
The Hoenn of Hoenness- Chapter 6 up now!
404 Error 2: File Not Found- Chapter 13 up now!

Banner done by me. I do not do requests. The Shinies are not up for trade. Vote Missingno. for new SSB4 fighter!
Fizzy Bubbles info
Oh, okay then. Also, quick question: I got a Move Tutor Pass today, does it mean that I have to use it today or next Monday?
Damn you Flame Mistress!
MM, I believe I've gotten the other Squirtle, so yours is the only one still there.

Well, there's the male one as well. That's still up for grabs, I believe.
So, anyone answer my question?
...You still have 33 minutes left, so maybe it's safer for you to use it today S:Q: Is there a time limit on Tutor Passes?
A: Passes must be used the Monday immediately following when you picked them up. No exceptions.
I'm using her in zones though =| The only other Pokémon I have is my newly adopted Swablu, Topaz, but she hasn't even been confirmed yet... Damn.
Since fishyfool was wanting to update Astoria, and there were already a bunch of you ready to be updated, I've decided I'll move over to the Glacier Islands for those who are interested.
It's the same deal as before, my updates will be less frequent than in other zones but they'll be done. My priority is the admin side of FB (shops, registration, etc,), so please don't be expecting miracles.
So if you're wanting some adventures on the more chilly side, I'll meet up with you in the Glacier Islands ^^.

The Annals: & The HistoriesCornelius Tacitus brilliantly chronicles the moral decline and rampant civil unrest in the Roman Empire in a period when the earliest foundations of modern Europe were being laid. The Annals commence in a.d. 14, at the death of Augustus, recounting the reigns of Tiberius, Gaius (Caligula), Claudius, and Nero, and conclude in a.d. 68, the year of Nero's suicide. The Histories document the tumultuous year a.d. 69, when Emperors Galba, Otho, and Vitellius all perished in quick succession, ushering in Vespasian's ten-year reign. According to historian Will Durant, "[We must] rank Tacitus among the greatest. . . . The portraits he draws stand out more clearly, stride the stage more livingly than any others in historical literature." This Modern Library Paperback Classic includes newly commissioned endnotes. |

text: KukawaKukawa (kōˈkäwäˌ) [key] or Kuka kōˈkä, town, NE Nigeria. It is in a farming and salt-mining region. Kukawa was founded in 1814 by Muhammad al-Kanemi of the state of Bornu. The capital and chief commercial center of Bornu, Kukawa was also the southern terminus of a trans-Saharan caravan route to Tripoli, Libya. In 1893, Kukawa was conquered and destroyed by forces under Rabih al-Zubayr, a Sudanese slave trader. It was rebuilt by the British in 1902 as a garrison town.
