Breast enlargement surgery is one of the most common cosmetic surgical procedures and whilst we can't tell you that it will change your life many of our clients tell us that they feel more confident, attractive and have higher self-esteem. Whatever your concerns about your breasts, you can be assured that we will deal with them sympathetically.
Elanic in Glasgow is one of Scotland's leading breast augmentation clinics and your breast enlargement surgery will be carried out by highly experienced consultant plastic surgeons.
Uniquely in Scotland, breast augmentation surgery can be performed in just one day in our state-of-the-art Glasgow clinic's day surgical unit under local anaesthetic with sedation - and without the need for an overnight stay in hospital. Alternatively surgery can also be carried under general anaesthetic at one of our partnership private hospitals.
What is breast enlargement surgery?
Our breast implants surgery in Glasgow is chosen by women who desire larger breasts, those who wish to correct a size discrepancy between the breasts, or to replace breast tissue lost after pregnancy. Breast implants surgery or augmentation can be achieved using silicone breast implants or through injection of a client's own fat. In some cases, implants can also be used after a mastectomy to restore the breast. We use both round and teardrop shaped breast implants, depending on the type of look you want from your breast augmentation. Your surgeon will discuss the options with you and will recommend the most appropriate type and size for your physique.
What type of breast implants do you use?
The premium implants used at Elanic Glasgow are Mentor implants by Johnson and Johnson®, which are FDA approved. These implants are authorised for use in the United States and have passed a rigorous safety and testing programme. The vast majority of breast implants do not meet these demanding standards and so we will not use them. Our use of FDA approved implants fits our aim to always bring you the finest quality products and treatments available, at reasonable prices.
What Warranty do I get?At Elanic we only use Mentor breast implants by Johnson and Johnson®. From such a respected household name you wouldn't expect anything but the finest quality implants available. Due to the quality of Mentor breast implants we are able to offer one of the most comprehensive warranty packages available and unlike most clinics we are crystal clear on what we do cover, and what we don't.
All our Breast implants surgery is covered by the following warranties:
- 3 year cover against any complications including infection, implant rupture, malposition and capsular contracture – we will conduct your surgery for free in the event of any of these problems in the first 3 years.
- 10 year cover against rupture and capsular contracture – We will conduct any revision surgery required within the first 10 years for a minimal facility fee*
- Mentor Patientcare Promise Lifetime Limited Warranty means that at any stage if you suffer an implant rupture then Mentor will provide you with a replacement set of breast implants, but not pay for the procedure#
- Elanic Lifetime aftercare package. As a client of Elanic you will be entitled to free lifetime review appointments with your surgeon.
Your warranties are covered both by Elanic Ltd and by your surgeon, therefore if Elanic was ever to cease trading your cover will still exist with your surgeon.
Why choose Elanic?At Elanic we believe that our breast augmentation equipment, techniques and surgeons are excellent for a number of reasons:
1. We only use premium FDA approved breast implants from Mentor, by Johnson and Johnson
2. We carry out breast augmentation either under general anaesthetic with an overnight stay in a private hospital, or we can offer surgery under conscious sedation and allow you to go home the same day.
3. We are pleased to announce that we have the only Vectra 3D imaging system in Scotland.
What is Vectra?Vectra is a 3D imaging camera system which allows your own body to be captured in 3D and seen on a big screen. It is then possible to select implants from Mentor and to see how you look with these implants. Not only can you choose what size to go for, but also shape, profile and position. You can even see how you look in different types of clothes with different sizes of implant. We believe that Vectra is a fantastic educational tool to allow clients to take the guess work out of choosing implant size. We believe this is an essential part of your consultation and therefore from July 2014 we will be offering this free of charge to all our breast enlargement clients.
Testimonial from Recent Elanic Client
"I had my consultation with Vivek Sivarajan yesterday, I was overwhelmed with how I was treated at the clinic by him and his staff, as soon as I met him I new straight away he was the surgeon for me, having been to a few consultations in the past I never felt at ease! Vivek listened to what I want and gave me lots of options and explained each procedure. He is so precise and very professional, you can tell straight away he takes pride in his work.. I will write another review after surgery but was that happy with how everything went yesterday thought I'd give it 5 stars already."
(Post op)
"So surgery went amazingly, hats off to all the staff at Elanic you are all fab! I am so happy with my results and would not recommend anywhere else! A massive thanks to Vivek what a genius"
*The current facility fee is £1250, but will vary over time. A contribution of €1000 and free breast implants are provided by Mentor as part of this offer.
# This guarantee is operated by Johnson and Johnson ltd.

text: I won't irritate you with an epic-like post and will just give small points, so no need to worry. Here we go - 1) You gets pagerank if your content is original (well this one is good, it is true as well as false. Lets know why - if you add some content, as new page is created which gets some value if its filled with original content and internal backlinks gets you link juice and finally some pagerank). 2) If the main domain have a good pr then link in inner pages is also good (well its also true as well as false. Because - if the main domain(homepage) have a good pr and the page where ur link is present is have a link in homepage, it will get link juice and eventually the chances of getting good pr will increase. So it will help but its not 100% that it will get good pr.). 3) Nofollow links are useless. (they are helpful if they contains your anchor text but of no use in seo if there is no anchor text although you may get some traffic.). 4) My site is not in google index so its sandboxed! (its not true! Its possible that google have not discovered it yet or it have visited but not indexed as google dont index everything it visits. Sandbox is no official term! Its a kind of a filter which dont let newer sites to rank better for good keywords, it dont means that your site will be removed from google index! Just serps will suffer) 5) If my site is blacklisted, it will never recover! (just remove the virus from your server and ask google for a re-view of your site at webmaster tools) 6) Google dont know about my backlinks if they don't appear when i search link:mysite.tld. (Its is completely false! Google don't show all links by that! Only good links giving you great link juice can be seen by that, you can see complete backlinks by webmaster tools). 7) Black hat will get a new site killed! (Its true but you can escape that by using some brain - Firstly get good backlinks from ezine, hubpages, squidoo and some other sites like them then do black hat for those pages with your links and then after some time when all the links gets indexed, you can do some black hat directly to your site but don't be so greedy and never make black hat your main source of backlinks, only get 20% of backlinks by black hat for new sites and for older sites it can go up to 50% depending upon the age. This is the figure to get you on 99.99% safe side). 8) Social bookmarking gets you pagerank (Its true if the sites are without nofollow but if its with nofollow links then it will only help in getting indexed faster). Some of my thoughts about which i am not 100% sure - 1) Domain age doesn't matters! (Like if a domain is 10 years old but indexed yesterday then it will be treated like a new site! The time when it was first indexed matter and the value may decrease if your domain was blacklisted or penalized due to duplicate content or some other issues in the meantime) 2) Content which is sinned by softwares or with bad grammar will get you penalized (i do a lot of experimentations with google to know all of their latest techniques, in my ongoing experiment i saw that the content by softwares or with bad grammar is penalized, have a lot of problems in indexing and even if i gets indexed, google don't cache it or don't let it get good serps) I was thinking to create an e-book will all info (I have huge info) and a guide with day wise schedule like do this in day one and second and third and so on... But don't get much time. I do a lot of experiments and takes risks to let you guys know more about seo, to refine my skills and be familiar with all the latest changes in Google's tactics. Hopefully you will see my E-Book on SEO in marketplace (Note: I have not started working on it). Have a nice day and feel free to add more info here You can also ask me questions to clarify your doubts. Recently i saw some of guys giving me negative reps! I don't know what problem they have, this is what i can see - "shut the hell up, bitch" for this post - http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...ll-help-you-free-post1526112.html#post1526112 "you suck!" for the same post and there are some other negative reps too! Everyone have the right to express their views but kindly let me know about the problem which you have with me so i can fix that.

Civil War Newspapers
Orange County, New York
Newburgh News.
NEWBURGH, July 9, 1863.
FLAG PRESENTATION AND RAISING AT THE COURT HOUSE IN NEWBURGH.—On Wednesday afternoon an interesting occurrence took place at the Court House. It appears that it had been observed for a long time past, particularly by the loyal ladies, that no flag had floated from the cupola of the Court House. On the receipt of good news, the stars and stripes floated from other prominent buildings, but their was a vacancy on the capitol. This state of things were not to be suffered longer, so the ladies took the matter in hand in earnest, (and you know then how the thing will end), a flag must go up, and that's "the end on't." And up it did go. During the day means was contributed, a flag secured, and an announcement make that at 5 o'clock p. m., it would be publicly presented and raised. A large assembly was called together to listen to excellent music furnished by Duprez & Green's minstrel band, and the addresses.
The presentation address on the part of the ladies was happily given by the Rev. G. W. Mandeville, of the Dutch Church, and responded to by Rev. George S. Hare, of the First M. E. Church. The speakers set forth strong reasons in strong terms why it was fit and proper that the flag should float and the great interests it symbolized should be defended, even at the peril and cost of precious lives. It was the emblem of our nationality, the emblem of authority, power, restraint and right to govern, and it was fit that it should be unfurled from the cupola of the hall of justice. It was proper it should wave as expressive of the gratitude of our hearts to God for the signal victories he had vouchsafed our arms, exhibiting our joy over, victory, as well as sorrow and grief over the honored dead that had nobly fallen. It would also wave as an emblem of the loyalty of the hearts of the loyal ladies who presented it to the loyal men of Newburgh.
Places of business were generally closed in Newburgh, during the time the funeral services of the late Colonel Ellis and Major Cromwell were to take place in New York. Bells were tolled, minute guns fired, flags displayed at half-mast, and other marks of grief and respect exhibited for the memory of the gallant dead.
The Court House bell, Newburgh, failing to ring in time at the rejoicing over the fate of Vicksburg, a company of loyal ladies took the matter in hand and the rope too, and such another clattering, of the bell we mean we have rarely heard in that quarter for a long time.
On Sabbath afternoon next, at 4 o'clock the Rev. Alex. B. Jack is to preach a sermon on the death of the late Major Cromwell, at the Canterbury Presbyterian Church.

iPhone Launch, Like Device, is Dazzling, Frustrating
by Paul Thurrott, [email protected]
Last Friday, at 6:00 P.M. local time, Apple's eagerly-awaited iPhone smart phone went on sale at Apple retail stores and select AT&T stores around the United States, giving consumers their first peek at Apple's view of the mobile future. For the Apple sycophants who waited in line for the device, often overnight, the wait was worth it: The iPhone delivers on the technologic promises Apple has been making for months. For the more discerning user, however, the iPhone is riddled with bugs, missing features, and has curious functional lapses. It is, in other words, an iconic Apple product, able to dazzle and bewilder at the same time.
From a marketing standpoint, the iPhone is an unqualified success. Demand and excitement for the device has been building since Apple CEO Steve Jobs made the curious decision to avoid discussion about the Macintosh at the company's annual Mac-oriented Macworld trade show to focus instead on the secret new iPhone. Since then, Apple has handled the six-month wait for the iPhone with calculated ease, dribbling out details to an insatiable public. By the time the device went on sale last week, excitement had built to a fevered pitch. Apple fans were lining up outside stores, sometimes days in advance, to be among the first to spend several hundred dollars for the shiny little metal object. The iPhone pre-release excitement rivaled that generated for other consumer electronics devices such as the Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3, and the Nintendo Wii, or long-awaited movies like "Star Wars Episode I."
Once users got the devices home, however, reality set in. Thanks to Apple's unique registration system, by which customers activate the phones via its PC- and Mac-based iTunes software, no one could use the devices right away. Instead, iPhone purchasers had to race home, plug them into their computers, and step through the activation process themselves. Sadly, many iPhone customers then discovered--as I did, incidentally--that they would have to wait to receive an activation code from AT&T, thanks to overwhelmed servers. Many customers were left staring at a useless $500-600 slab until their activation codes arrived.
Disappointed users notwithstanding, the device itself lives up to much of the hype. The technology in the iPhone, from the cool touch screen with unique zooming functionality to the rotating screen, usually (but not always) works as advertised. The battery life is surprisingly good for a device of this kind, even when performing battery-unfriendly tasks such as Web browsing or video playback. Functionally, however, the iPhone is a mixed bag. The built-in applications are usually excellent, but a curious mixture, and you can't download any new applications. Some iPhone features seem half-baked or are missing altogether. For example, although the iPhone sports "visual voicemail" (which is excellent), it doesn't support basic cell phone features such as Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS). The iPhone Web browser is the best ever on a mobile device, but because Apple chose its own Safari browser, it's incompatible or non-optimal with many Web sites, especially those specifically designed for smart phones. For every vaunted feature, it seems, there's a caveat.
All this said, the iPhone is as revolutionary as Apple has claimed. It's just a typical 1.0 product, with lots of room for improvement. I'll continue to track Apple's progress with this intriguing device and will review the iPhone later this month. In the meantime, you can check out my first impressions, along with various photo galleries, screenshots, and other iPhone articles, on the SuperSite for Windows.

Quick Reference
3 Dall. (3 U.S.) 386 (1798), argued 8 and 13 Feb. 1798, decided 8 Aug. 1798 by vote of 4 to o; seriatim opinions by Chase, Paterson, Iredell, and Cushing, Ellsworth and Wilson not participating. Calder v. Bull was one of the Supreme Court's first decisions involving constitutional limitations on governmental power. The Connecticut legislature enacted a resolution granting a new hearing in a probate trial. The Calders, disappointed heirs, challenged this action as a violation of the ban in Article I, section 10, on ex post facto laws. Justices William Paterson, James Iredell, and William Cushing accepted the legislature's action because before Independence the legislature had functioned as the state's highest appellate court and was thus merely continuing to act in that capacity (Connecticut had not yet adopted a new constitution).
Assuming that the legislature's resolution was a "law" within the meaning of the Ex Post Facto Clause, Justices Samuel Chase, Paterson, and Iredell agreed that the clause was addressed only to laws imposing retroactive punishment (by creating criminal sanctions for actions that were legal when carried out or increasing the punishment set for a particular offense and applied retrospectively) and thus was inapplicable in civil disputes. Chase and Paterson, in addition, rested their rejection of the Calders' argument on the grounds of textual interpretation. Citing such sources as Blackstone, The Federalist, and the constitutions of other states, they concluded that the expression "ex post facto" was a technical legal term that, long before the Revolution, had come to apply only to laws imposing or increasing criminal punishment, and the Constitution's makers must have "understood and used the words in their known and appropriate signification" (p. 397). Both justices buttressed this reading of the clause by noting its close proximity to provisions such as the impairment of Contracts Clause that would be redundant if "ex post facto" were extended to cover civil legislation.
Alone among the justices, Chase raised and then rejected another possible ground for invalidating the Connecticut resolution: its incompatibility with "the very nature of our free Republican governments" (p. 388). In a long and rambling paragraph Chase denied "the omnipotence of a state Legislature" even in the absence of express constitutional limits on its power. Using language reminiscent of Locke, Chase insisted that "the great first principles of the social compact" determined what actions of a legislature could be regarded as "a rightful exercise of legislative authority" (pp. 387–388). He went on to list a number of actions that could not be deemed legitimate regardless of the absence of any express constitutional prohibition; among them were ex post facto laws in the technical, criminal sense and "a law that takes property from A and gives it to B" (p. 388). Chase avoided applying these fundamental principles in Calder v. Bull itself, if indeed he even meant to suggest that judges were entitled to enforce them against the legislature, on the ground that whatever rights the losing heirs might have had to the property had not yet vested when the legislature acted and thus were still subject to interference by law.

More than 6.5 million dogs and 12.4 million cats suffer from chronic digestive problems*. The symptoms they experience include gas, diarrhea, bloating and nausea. Many more pets suffer the occasional digestive upset due to changing to a new food, antibiotic use or stress. Having intestinal discomfort is no fun for our pets, or for us, but there are effective means to help make them more comfortable and to strengthen their digestive system, naturally.
*MRC Omnibus Study
Digestive Enzymes = Natural Nutrient Delivery System
Digestive enzymes breakdown and deliver nutrients from a pet's food to every part of the body. We all try to do the right thing for the other member of the family, our pet, but there are many factors that decrease the amount of enzymes available to our pets. Enzyme drains include; age, strenuous exercise, illness, stress, processed diet, genetic factors or antibiotic use. Pets experiencing any of these enzyme drains will benefit from supplementation.
The four key enzymes for dogs and cats are:
"We all try to do the right thing for the other member of the family, our pet, but there are many factors that decrease the amount of enzymes available to our pets. Enzyme drains include; age, strenuous exercise, illness, stress, processed diet, genetic factors or antibiotic use."
Deposit Enzymes for a Rainy Day
Enzymes are destroyed in the normal processing of most commercial pet foods. Supplementing with enzymes is an effective way to replace the loss due to heating and processing but there are significant differences in enzymes. Plant based enzymes are stable at the pH of a dog and cat's digestive system and will start working in the esophagus and continue to the tail. Many industrial or animal based enzymes are effective only at pH levels that are not commonly found in the body, and therefore are of less value.
Because vitamins, minerals and hormones cannot do their jobs without enzymes, a deficiency will affect not just digestion, but the pet's overall health. Some of the signs of enzyme deficiency and poor digestion include; excessive itching, shedding, hair balls, body odor, rash, runny nose, bad breath, diarrhea, constipation, infection and poor immune system. Supplementing with digestive enzymes can not only address a digestive deficiency, but can also aid in creating stores in the body that will benefit immune function and the pet's overall health.
Increased Friendly Bacteria = Improved Gastrointestinal Health
Another important tool in the natural digestive health toolbox is native friendly bacteria.
Adding a prebiotic to your pet's food helps friendly bacteria thrive. Prebiotics are the fast food for these friendly bacteria. Prebiotics do not have to be refrigerated and will selectively feed the beneficial, native bacteria in the dog and cat's system. Prebiotics such as fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are natural and safe. FOS is found naturally in mother's milk.
Whether you are changing to a new food, your pet is on antibiotics, or you just want to keep their digestive system healthy, supplementing with a digestive aid helps keep your pet comfortable and at the top of their health.

I see tukanas has a "hits per hour" section but if I specify a number like 500 and puts 1000 hits per URL it still manages to send all 1000 hits in less than 1 hour (doesn't seem right since I put max 500 per hour). Anyone got any recommendations? Needs to support proxies as well

I got an email in the morning from someone inside microsoft saying, Shy Cohen from the indigo team was coming for a brief visit. I met him an hour later, he is the product manager for the reliable messaging. 2 guys from my team came too and we had a great talk about what indigo will become in the future. Shy is a very nice person and had lots of great things to say on his work mates (Really made me want to work there - Again). One thing I didn't know is that everyone on the indigo team (about 37 people) is coding, some for indigo and some on top of it.
In the next TechEd we're going to have some surprises regarding indigo, so if you live in Israel save the date 4-6 of may 2004 - TechEd Israel.

Google is always making themselves busy around the same time of the year as Apple. We recently saw the iPhone release and now the Google-owned Nexus range is coming with the Nexus 6 smartphone and Nexus 9 tablet. As you know, that also means the start of the fresh Android software — in this case the 5.0 Lollipop. Thankfully those of you who own last year's models are still getting the Lollipop update and it is coming fast compared to other devices that are not under the Mountain View companies name.
What we are doing here is the result of a Google release for the official Android 5.0 SDK and we are installing the file manually using SDK on the computer. The system image is for flashing on Mac, Linux and the most popular which is Windows OS made by the folks out of Redmond better know as Microsoft. Android and Microsoft have a long history of being compatible with updating thanks to the clever tool namely Odin. We always use Odin for flashing stock official firmware updates. However, in this instance we're flashing a factory image and they are slightly more complex.
- Therefore, we recommend finding experienced users if you are not one yourself. Most rookies will struggle following the complexities of this guide. However, bear in mind that only developers and keen Lollipop enthusiasts should be upgrading using this guide. We know that the main reason for the release of Developer Previews is for the real developers to optimize their apps so that when the new 5.0 software is released, their apps are working seamlessly. Nevertheless, that won't stop devotees from installing it on their tablets too just to check out what is happening.
- We know that the folks from the Googleplex are releasing this same factory image for the Nexus 5 "hammerhead" and the tablet variant of the Nexus 7 WiFi Razor". However, the Mountain View company are showing no signs of releasing the image for the GSM variant of the tablet. We are expecting that to come eventually. Hopefully we don't wait too long since the Lollipop is coming early November according to reports.
- Just like when we always update, we want to backup the tablets data using the internal storage space. Use applications available from Google Play such as Helium for Android. Make duplicates of the phone contacts, SMS texts, MMS texts, video files, music and audio files, pictures from your galleries and device settings so you don't have to reapply them. The data is automatically wiped so this is a must do unless you want a tablet looking like it's fresh out of the box. Otherwise you can edit the script file and remove the "-w" value pointing from the fastboot update image-hammerhead-lpx13d.zip.
- Use the SMS backup application to make copies of the text messages you do not want to lose. Use Holo Backup for a free version that can store everything via the desktop with some ADb features.
- A large amount of Droid users install antivirus software on their devices to keep them away from vulnerabilities. In this case, we want to stop the security programs from running until we finish here. Being developers, you know how to do that and you also shouldn't forget to turn them back on again after you finish. Here's a friendly reminder for that anyhow. Also, stop firewalls and security programs including anti malware and spyware from running on the computer.
- The final Developer Preview build comes with Android Runtime (ART), improved Notifications, OpenGL ES3.1, Material Design UI idea, new APIs and more. The SDK 5.0 API number is 21 and we are witnessing support for DNG, up-to-the-minute Camera 2.0 API, improved JobScheduler, better performance additional material design themes and more.
- Stop-off at the Developer Options and enable the USB Debugging Mode. That way you can successfully connect to the USB slots on the machine of your choice. It does work for laptops, notebook and desktop computers. Additionally, make sure you have the ASUS USB drivers since this is for the ASUS tablet and no other.
- Do not try this installment on a tablet that isn't made by the ASUS name. No other manufacturers will work at this time.
- You need Fastboot pre-installed before starting the guide. Fastboot is the manual method for all system and factory images.
How To Update The ASUS Nexus 7 2013 WiFi with Android 5.0 LPX13D Lollipop official Developer Preview
1. Turn the computer on and log in to your personal account.
2. Download the 2013 Nexus 7 WiFi system image from here.
– extract the file to the desktop.
3. Take the USB cable from the charger and use it to plug the tablet into the computer.
4. Turn the 2013 tablet off.
5. Boot it back up into bootloader (Fastboot) mode.
– Press Volume Up and the Power buttons.
– keep holding them until the Fastboot menu appears.
6. Look for the razor-LPX13D folder on the desktop.
7. Paste all the files from the razor folder to the Fastboot directory.
8. Run the file "flash-all.bat" from the image files for Windows users.
– Max and Linux users need to enter "flash-all.sh".
9 . Do not touch any keys or buttons until the flashing finishes.
10. Wait for the standard boot process to start. It will take longer this time.

About Tom Smith
There's every other singer out there... and then there's Tom Smith.
Tom is not your ordinary comedy musician. With the lyrical complexity of Ashman and Sondheim, the vocal fireworks of Meat Loaf, the comedic timing of Robin Williams, and the dynamic physique of the Skipper from Gilligan's Island, the only thing he won't do is be boring.
The only recording artist to be featured on both NPR's Sound and Spirit and The Dr. Demento Show, and writer of the official chantey for Talk Like A Pirate Day, Tom has been praised by such diverse folk as Christine Lavin, Larry Niven, and Randy Milholland. He has two dozen albums so far, blending comedy, tragedy, science fiction, fantasy, romance, popular culture, politics, religion, and the occasional recipe with virtually every genre of music you can imagine.
Starting out at sf/fantasy conventions, Tom has been branching out more to house concerts and regular gigs the past couple of years. He arranges and records a lot of stuff at home, using MIDI, loops, and all manner of software gadgetry... but on stage, it's just him and his guitar, in a high-energy, family-friendly performance filled with laughter, shtick, and really, really bad puns.
So far, Tom's got fourteen Pegasus Awards for Excellence in Filk, an animated music video ("Enterprising Man" from the second Babylon Park video) and a spot in the Filk Hall of Fame. He's all over the internet -- you can find him at:
You may think you've heard it all... but you have never heard anyone like Tom Smith.

However, Micro-Needling in New Haven makes it fast and easy to stimulate production of these beneficial substances so you can truly shine in the summer sun!
Micro-Needling works by painlessly delivering a protein-rich anti-aging solution directly into deeper layers of the dermis.

Civilizations have been using flags for thousands of years. Centuries ago, the first ones were found to be Iranian, Egyptian and Greek in origin. These were metal or wood poles carved with distinct symbols. Vexilloids (another term for flags) evolved to include a piece of coloured fabric for decoration that would become the flags we know today.
Flags were used as decorations or as symbols to send signals or messages to others, identifying which side the knights belonged to during battle, for example.
Flags were considered messages on land and sea, with ships using them to signal if the crew was infested with an infectious disease. Capturing a foe's flag in battle was a sign of an honourable capture.
Symbolism of Flags
Everything about the design of a vexilloid is symbolic and represents many things. Even the colour of flags can be representative of something. Flags are very personal and so there is usually a story that goes into the justification of the design.
Here are some examples of colours and their potential meanings:
Red – war, courage and power
Orange – sacrifice
Yellow – caution or gold
Green - land, hope and youth
Black - death (like pirates' Jolly Roger flags) or mourning
White – truce, surrender or peace
The use of flags identifying a country wasn't common practice until the 18th century. Each country's flag from around the world uses design and colour to best describe the spirit of its people.
Decades ago, flags used to be made by hand-sewing pieces of fabric together and embroidering them with yarn or painting them. Today, they are typically printed on large presses. Flags Unlimited makes flags by printing on large rolls of fabric. The fabric is then washed, dried, cut, sewn and finished into flags.
Custom Banners and Flags
Flags can be used to symbolize a special event and have evolved to include custom banners. Coming in many shapes, sizes materials and colours, custom banners are the perfect advertising, or messaging, tool to:
- Create awareness of events
- Feature a product or service
- Strengthen branding in corporate messaging materials
Flags Unlimited can print and create any custom flag and offer a variety of custom banners to choose from as well. Whether for indoor or outdoor use, your custom banners will look great anywhere.

MADDIE: Scotland Yard detectives head to Portugal for 'make or break' investigation
DETECTIVES from Scotland Yard will return to Portugal in another bid to uncover the truth about what happened to Madeline McCann, who vanished seven years ago.
The team will meet with Portuguese investigators next month in Praia da Luz, where the little girl was last seen in May 2007.
The move has been described as a "make-or-break moment" in the search.
Officers have reportedly been given permission to speak to seven suspects, three of whom who have already been questioned.
None of them has been arrested or charged.
Detectives believe they could provide the information needed to help finally crack the case.
Mobile phone records suggest at least three of them were near the seaside resort at the time of Maddie's disappearance and that they communicated in the hours that followed.
The Met police interviewed four suspects in Portugal in May.
One of the four, Russian-born Sergey Malinka, has since been dismissed as a suspect.
"Thousands of pieces of evidence have been re-examined by the Scotland Yard team to get to this stage," said a source.
"This is far from a scatter-gun approach.
"The detectives are acutely aware there is a finite amount of money for the investigation and that they need results. It is hoped they are on the right track to achieving those objectives."
In May, a team of Met detectives oversaw an eight-day search and dig on scrubland near the resort, but their efforts were in vain.
The investigation has cost the UK taxpayer in excess of £6million and has been described by Portuguese authorities as a "senseless waste of time".
Madeline was three-years-old when she disappeared from her hotel room on May 3 while her parents Kate and Gerry McCann dined in a nearby restaurant.

EN World member Mistwell took the time to listen to the audio and list the highlights!
A lot of good info in there.
Xanathar's Guide comes out at the point where in prior editions they were working on or coming out with the next edition of the game. Instead they put that level of effort into making this the first big expansion of the game. (They say later they don't anticipate a new edition until 10 years as gone by in most likelihood, if feedback continues as it is - and 6th edition would be highly likely to be backwards compatible with 5e).
The playtest had HALF A MILLION playtesters. Wow.
The next big expansion is mystic (Psion) and artificer and revised ranger. They will come out, but need more testing and refinement. Ranger also needs to be free rather than a paid product. It will be a free download.
Every product being released in 2018 has either been written, or is being written. One is at the tail end of the editing/layout process. Another is in the playtest phase. A third is in the finalizing development phase. And a fourth Mearls won't talk about at all. So, looks like four major products for 2018.
There will be a balance between rules crunch and adventures/story in the products. They are trying to very carefully manage and curate the rules balance aspect. Adventures get about 300 playtester groups. Rules get a whole lot more.
They are very pleased with the 10 person collaborative DMsGuild group producing content and adventure related stuff on DMsGuild for them right now. That team will also be coming out with their own subclasses and such for Xanathars for example. They will be looked at internally by WOTC but are for home game use only and are not nearly as highly playtested as official content. But it's very good content and does get a sweep of review from WOTC.
The team feels D&D overall is in a very good place right now. They've seen an enormous positive reaction to the game. They think probably only the early 80s matches the level of popularity of the game, and that it is more popular that probably any other time in the history of the game other than being matched by the early 80s.
They're very happy with the slowed release schedule as it gives them so much more time to focus on what they put out and the future. The most important aspect of that is their ability to plan out the future properly. In prior editions they worked on, the focus was always on getting the next book out. But with 5e they can spend a lot more time planning the game out into the future rather than just on the next product. Right now they are focusing mostly on 2019, spending a lot of time thinking about the entire year's experience and putting it all together cohesively and to build D&D in a planned way which brings more people into the hobby and make them feel welcomed. They didn't have a lot of time to ask those questions and plan them out in prior editions. They also think the slowed release schedule has allowed them to get a lot more new players as one of the barriers to entry (the quantity of rule books) is no longer there.
On Psionics, they re-read the Darksun books a lot. A lot of the thinking they do these days is thinking of D&D as a multiverse, and as Darksun being part of the prime material plane with greyhawk and forgotten realms in one big shared multiverse. And they asked why in a devastated world Psionics is prominent. They are very focused on what psionics is, why it exists in this universe. They felt in prior editions D&D focused on very specific things, and less about the myths about those things and why things did what they did and how they related to the rest of the cosmos and the things in it. As an example, the Draconomicon focused a lot on the anatomy of dragons, but little about why dragons in relation to who they are, why they do what they do, how they related to the rest of the cosmos.
Specific to Psionics and that topic, Mind Flayers used to rule most of the material plane, so what was going on with the Gods for those years, and how does that relate to the psionic powers of the Mind Flayers? Mind Flayers had no Gods, so what did it mean for the Gods when the Mind Flayers ruled, and what happened with the Gods when the Mind Flayers fell? Those are the kinds of questions they are asking, along with where Psionics comes from and how it works.
On Settings (with a lot specific to Eberron). One challenge D&D had in the 90s was the settings were competing with each other. But now that they are thinking of settings as a "genre" as opposed to a "place" it twists a bit what they can do with a setting, so it does not necessarily have to compete anymore. They need to focus on what role a setting places in the larger game. So "typical D&D" looks a lot like Forgotten Realms. Dark Sun is "Post-Apocalyptic D&D". Ravenloft is "Gothic-Horror D&D". Eberron is either "Film Noir D&D" or "Pulp D&D". Genre becomes the focus, as a means of changing what the feel of D&D will be for a game, and as a means of explaining that setting to a new player. They have an idea of what they want to do with Eberron, but a lot of it just comes down to doing it right, so they take the time to make sure that when it comes out it will feel like a definitive book. They don't want it to be a "product line". They never want you to buy a book and need anything more than the core three books to use it. So if they ever put out one Eberron book and then a second one, the second one would not assume you owned the first one. And they always want you to use most of a book they put out, rather than just a small part of it. And they want you to be able to pick up a setting book and use it right away rather than spend a lot of time on preparation.
[This marks the half way point of the session]
Big survey coming out next week on Adventurers League. They want to bring the League into the 21st century and more friendly to a new audience.
On Forgotten Realms novels: They feel the novel business is very tricky, and they are a game company. They're not necessarily good at novels business. They don't have a good plan for novels, and they do not have a novel publishing expert on their team right now. It's not something they say they will never do again, it's just not their focus this year. They would consider a partnership, but they're not looking for it.
On Planescape and the other settings: They have a rough draft cosmological ties for how all the settings could come back and fit together and have products, including even Spelljammer and Dark Sun and Eberron and Greyhawk. They want to make sure for each setting product, they assume this is the first time you're seeing that setting, and not require prior knowledge of it.
In terms of story lines, they don't plan on doing a story line that lasts multiple products like Tiamat did, at least not right now. They didn't have the product mix down pat during the Tiamat two book adventures. They have a better sense now of how long it takes a DM to get trough content. They also found two adventure big books a year was too much, and many DMs were not keeping up. The Adventurer's League content is intended to expanding the Adventure content for those minority number of groups that can absorb two big adventures a year or more.
[This marks the 45 min mark]
Subclass feats are likely not in the future from the WOTC team, as it's took fine a level of detail. New subclasses are in the future, and new classes and races probably well.
The PHB is selling so well they're afraid to make any changes to the PHB...not even changing the index or footers which they want to badly do and know needs to be done. They would consider posting a better Index online though for people to print.

Sho Nuff On "Buck" Bush
few publications could print this-
Hark! Here we have three prime "African bucks,� which are worth their weight in gold. On the other hand, we have an astute plantation owner, who is a student of Willie Lynch's "How to Make a Slave,� philosophy. That's why he would arbitrarily dismiss the great, young African warrior from the Young tribe that henceforth will be called Vince. Surely Vince will be a prize field hand, but in the past he's shown a stubborn streak, that surely could be a problem for a slave master in the future. Even worse, he has the propensity to think critically and connately act with unusual survival instincts and a thinking African warrior is more dangerous than an angry, vindictive one. But a sho' nuff minus is that he comes from a historical fierce warrior tribe that already has deep roots in proximity to the Texans' plantation. Thus he's far too familiar with Houston's topography to be a wise investment. The Bush "Buck,� was a good choice, although he was more of a "fancy� slave than a "field hand.� Even so, he has demonstrated an ability to beguile White folks, therefore he's far too cunning to be a safe house servant. In fact, there're suspicions that his "California slick� elders have trained him to play games with White folks. So, he might end up using, rather than being used by the plantantion. Yep, he's a bad investment. He pales beside the big, strong, yet docile brute that skins and grins like he's just proud to be favored by "Massa.� We're convinced that he will defend the plantation with his life. Ergo, "The Houston Texans selects Mario Williams, defensive tackle from North Carolina State with the first pick.�

Readers respond: How did you build clientele as a new technician?
I ran an ad in the local newspaper offering a few specials, such as $19.95 for a full set. I also had fliers printed and put some on cars and hung some in local businesses.
Loree Knoblich
Loree's Nail Shop (American Falls, Idaho)
After applying a full set on a new client, I'd offer her a free fill if she recommended two people for full sets.
Nancy Castro
The Golden Touch (Bakersfield, Calif.)
I wore dressy nail art on my nails and people would always stop me and say, "Wow, look at those nails. Where did you have them done?" Then I'd hand them a business card.
Roberta Rogers
The Spa at Nicholas Michaels (Northboro, Mass.)
My husband is in the military, so we move around a lot. To bring in new clients, I punch a hole in my business card and tie a lollipop to it with some pretty ribbon and we hand them out. Most people have a sweet tooth and will accept the treat.
Kristin Miller
Nail Artistry (Heidelberg Germany)
My friend was the only other nail technician in town and when she joined the Air Force, she recruited me to take over her job and clientele, so I had a ready-made following.
Jill St. Claire-Wright
Angel's Salon (Bowling Green, Ky.)
I would ask customers who were getting their hair done if they wanted a complimentary manicure. I'd find out which finger they used the most, then apply an acrylic overlay on that nail. I told them not to change their polish until they came in again. They were amazed at how well the polish adhered to the acrylic nail, and many of them became regular clients.
Connie Zemke
Aloha's Hair and Body Care (Romeo, Mich.)
At the first salon I worked at, we all pitched in money to advertise on our local radio station. The exposure brought me many new clients.
Jamila Wright
Via the Internet
I started in a small salon with two other nail techs who already had an established clientele. When there was a call or a walk-in, I usually took the client. My lucky break came a year later when one of the techs retired and split her clientele between us.
Della Accardo
The Nail Palace (Clovis, Calif.)
I'd walk into local businesses and offer a complimentary full set to anyone who was interested. Also, during my first three months in business, I offered half-off on a client's next fill for every referral she sent me.

Lamar's Bard on the Bayou Series Opens with 'The Tempest'
Magic. Romance. Lamar University Theatre will brim with the excitement of William Shakespeare's farewell to the stage as the Department of Theatre & Dance opens its new Bard on the Bayou series with "The Tempest." This fantastical hour-long adaptation features the work of Tony-Award winning guest artist Scott Pask and will run Thursday, Feb. 17, through Sunday, Feb. 20, in the University Theatre.
"The Tempest" depicts the adventures of the powerful magician Prospero, banished by his brothers from Italy to live on an island with his daughter, Miranda; his servant, Caliban; and his helpful spirit, Ariel. Complications ensue when a ship carrying Italian royalty, including his brothers, crashes on the island.
"This version adapted by Don Fleming is very condensed, but remains true to the original play," said guest director Nathanael Johnson, a Yale graduate and professional Los Angeles-based actor. "It's under an hour, but I think it will feel more like 15 minutes to the audience because everything moves so quickly, and the characters are so vivid."
Fleming's adaptation is designed for young audiences (middle school and older) and adults, which Johnson embraced. "Like a good Pixar film, this production works on multiple levels for both adults and kids. There are comic moments, touching tragedy, a love interest—literally something for everyone."
Multiple-Tony Award-winning guest artist Scott Pask designed the set for "The Tempest." Pask's Broadway design credits include such shows as "The Wedding Singer," "Urinetown" and the revivals of "La Cage aux Folles," "Little Shop of Horrors" and "Hair."
"Scott has created a very visual and spectacular world for the play," said Johnson. "His phenomenal design starts with a ship at sea. Then a storm comes, the 'tempest' of the title, and the ship is blown apart to become pieces of the island where the rest of the events take place. In a way, the set becomes its own character."
This multidisciplinary production features actors and dancers from the Department of Theatre & Dance as well as original music from graduate student Robert Underhill of Port Arthur, from the Mary Morgan Moore Department of Music.
"Robert's music is completely catered to the events that happen on the stage," said Johnson. "Having a play with an original composition is something that rarely, if ever, happens in a college-level production."
Theatre major Jacquelyn Gower of Nederland takes on the lead role of Prospero, which is a male character in the original play.
"My casting was gender blind," said Johnson. "It was important to me to find someone who had the essence of the character, so it didn't feel like someone was just playing a part. Jackie fits that role the best, and she has a great facility for the language."
Lamar alumnus Christopher Murray returns to the stage to tackle the role of Caliban, Prospero's wild island servant. The cast also includes Evan Worthington, Beaumont, as Miranda; Dylan Ball, Orange, Ferdinand; Amber Belton, Humble, Alonso; Carley Stewart, Sulphur Springs, Sebastian; Steven Hoffman, Silsbee, Antonio; Bethany Eldred, Beaumont, Gonzalo; DeeDee Howell, Nederland, Trinculo; Hilary Hayes, Silsbee, Stefano; Maci McFarlin, Nederland, Master/Native; Sarah Green, Fort Worth, Bosun/Native; Keeley Guidry, Freer, Native; Hannah Jones, Orange, Native; and Taylor Rainbolt, Vidor, Native.
Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 17 through Feb. 19, with matinees at 2 p.m. Feb. 19 and Feb. 20 and a special school performance at 10 a.m. Feb. 18 in the University Theatre, 4400 S. Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway on the Lamar campus in Beaumont.
Tickets are priced at $10 for general admission; $7 for senior citizens, students and LU faculty/staff; and $5 for LU students. The Box Office is open 1:30 – 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, 6:30 – 7:15 p.m. the night of the shows, and 1 – 1:45 p.m. for matinees.
Call (409) 880-2250 for reservations and additional information.

STORRS - Prosecutors have dropped a breach of peace charge filed against conservative commentator Lucian Wintrich after a confrontation with protesters last month during an appearance at the University of Connecticut.
Wintrich, the White House correspondent for the right-wing website Gateway Pundit, was charged after grabbing a woman who took his notes from the lectern as he prepared to give a speech titled "It's OK To Be White."
That woman, 35-year-old Catherine Gregory, of Willimantic, turned herself in Sunday to face charges of attempted larceny and disorderly conduct.
Gregory, who is free on a $1,000 bond, is due in court on Wednesday.
Wintrich, who had argued that he had every right to retrieve his property, tweeted on Monday that justice was finally being served.

Want to make your grandmother's sugar cookie recipe famous? You have a couple choices: 1.) sell the recipe to a commercial pastry chef, or 2.) mass-produce it yourself. Pfff, no one gets gram-gram's recipe, you say — slap some flour on the counter and let's get baking. But wait just a second there, Mrs. Fields, you're forgetting a few things. Like, say, an industrial-sized oven. And equipment. And a licensed kitchen. You know, the kinds of things that established food production companies have. If only there was a way to get rolling without shelling out all that dough … .
Enter Incu-BaKe (take that, spell check), a shared-use commercial kitchen space that was designed to launch the entrepreneurial aspirations of mid-Michigan's bakers, sauté chefs and confectioners. There are business incubators for computer software designers and jewelry makers, so why not for custom-made salsa?
"Sometimes people come to us with a product they need to get off the ground," says Incu-BaKe founder Marcy Bishop Kates. "And sometimes it's just someone with an idea. We work with them from start to finish to make sure they can achieve their entrepreneurial goals."
Kates opened Incu-BaKe in Holt in July 2011 to fill what she saw as a niche need in the area. Namely, a place where she could help people take their food business ideas to the next level. In the last 14 months, she has licensed 26 new businesses, half of which she says are in production at any given time.
"Some are seasonal, some are part-time, but they all have their own licenses," she says. "It's definitely a cyclical thing ."
Last week, Incu-BaKe's new location opened inside the Lansing City Market near Uncle John's Fruit Winery. The City Market location doesn't have an actual kitchen, making it more of a storefront than an actual incubator. But hey, these novices have to learn to hawk their ware, too — isn't that part of the entrepreneurial learning curve?
And rising yeast lifts all loafs. Even as these fledgling businesses take off, Incu-BaKe itself is able to expand. Kates has one full-time employee beside herself, but she says she hopes to grow that over time.
"My goal when I started was to create jobs, build business and impact the economy," she said. "And it's working. Now I've not got two full-time jobs."
Before she started Incu-BaKe, Kates spent years as a program manager in a variety of sectors, including education, nonprofits and business. She finally quit the day job last year, and finds the new endeavor pleasantly challenging.
"Now I'm using my project management skills and my own personal hobby as a cook every day," she says. "It just all came together. And as we continue to take on new clients, we will increase the services we offer."
But it's not strictly about business around here. Kates says Incu-BaKe is also involved in a variety of community activities, such as offering classes and participating in fundraisers.
"We're trying to get people to buy locally produced food," she says. "Most people don't know who's making their food. It's about connecting business, community and farms. "
And it might just get the community addicted to gram-gram's cookies.

Thursday 30th May 2013
The Right2Water campaign, which has gathered over a million signatures throughout the EU, had another major breakthrough last weekend as French minister for housing and land management, Cécile Duflot, pledged her support and signed the petition. It's the first time that an acting minister has supported and signed up to the campaign.
Minister Duflot's support adds to growing political support for the campaign in France, which already includes Bertrand Delanoë, mayor of Paris, Patrick Rimbert, mayor of Nantes, and Anne Le Strat, President of the Paris water company 'Eau de Paris'.
Delegates at IMPACT's local government conference in Wexford last week were urged to support the campaign to help prevent any future privatisation of water in EU countries.
Shane Lambert, chair of the union's local government division, told delegates "This union is utterly opposed the privatisation of water. The provision of water and sanitation should be recognised as a human right. As such, any attempt to privatise or commodify water services, any attempt to let water become subject to the influence of the market, any attempt to allow profits to be drawn from Ireland's water infrastructure will be opposed forcefully and decisively."
He said it was essential that union members take necessary steps to safeguard the future of public water provision. He called on members to support the Right to Water campaign, which he said has the potential to force the EU to consider proposals to protect water and sanitation services from privatisation.
The European Federation of Public Service Unions (EPSU) launched the campaign to protect water as a human right in 2012. It has met its first target of attracting one million petition signatures across the EU. The campaign is one of the first to use the European Citizen's Initiative (ECI), which enables EU citizens to put particular issues on the EU's legislative agenda. The campaign will continue to collect signatures until September.
IMPACT is urging all union members and their families to sign the campaign petition. To do so, visit www.right2water.eu.

The United Nations General Assembly rolled toward its pre-Christmas adjournment today with a mixed record of accomplishments, good intentions, cautious hopes, and expected disappointments. Diplomatic assessments of the 40th anniversary session were generally upbeat. Secretary-General Javier P'erez de Cu'ellar and General Assembly President Jaime de Pinies emphasized that to a degree previously unachieved, governments concurred on the need for united action on some of the world's most critical issues.
Among them were the third world debt burden, human rights, the related problems of South African apartheid and independence for Namibia (Southwest Africa), drug abuse, and the necessity of increasing the UN system's efficiency.
One achievement most often cited as a breakthrough was the assembly's adoption of an antiterrorism resolution. Reflecting a general opinion, President de Pinies called it ``a landmark in the history of the United Nations.''
In its operative part, the resolution condemns ``as criminal all acts, methods, and practices of terrorism wherever and by whomever committed.''
The bulk of the assembly's agenda consisted of thorny issues -- the Middle East, disarmament, Cyprus, decolonization -- on which debate was largely a reprise of previous years. Progress, if any, on these issues was minimal.
The assembly's principal high-visibility success was the gathering of some 75 heads of state and more than 100 vice-presidents and foreign ministers for the 40th-anniversary salute, a super-summit unprecedented in world history. It peaked on United Nations Day, Oct. 24, with assembly speeches by President Reagan and representatives of the Soviet Union, Britain, France, China, and other nations.
But the 40th session was more than speeches, limousine motorcades, and black-tie dinners. Adversaries were able to meet at the top level to thrash out, if not to solve, nagging and sometimes dangerous disagreements. Allies and like-minded blocs used the occasion to map strategies and draft unified positions on issues of concern to them. Thus:
Although meeting outside the UN framework, President Reagan took advantage of the occasion to convene a roundtable of some of his main allies.
Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and Pakistani President Muhammad Zia ul-Haq, in their first-ever substantive meeting, explored ways of easing tension between the two countries, which have waged three wars since Pakistan was partitioned from India in 1947.
National leaders of the six members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations held strategy sessions to deal with Vietnam's occupation of Cambodia.
Latin American leaders convened to discuss their crushing foreign debt problems and, in the process, stimulated assembly debate about the third world's financial crisis in general.
The biggest setback of the session stems from the US plan to reduce its contribution to UN financing.
The US is determined to reduce its share of contributions to the UN's regular budget from 25 percent to 20 percent. The action will take effect Oct. 1 unless the UN introduces weighted voting on budgetary matters and undertakes administrative and budgetary reforms.
Another great disappointment was the failure of the 10-day commemorative meeting to produce an agreed declaration. The expected document was blocked by failure of the US and its supporters to agree with the Arab group and its backers on language of a section on Palestinian rights. The Arab draft called for Palestinian ``self-determination'' -- a concept the US side refused to endorse.
There were, predictably, a few who agreed with one ambassador who scoffed at the commemorative session as ``the greatest show on earth since Barnum.''
The secretary-general himself reserved final opinion. With a tinge of irony, he observed: ``All the speeches were very beautiful.'' But that, he said, ``is not enough.''
``Let's move from words to deeds,'' he said. ``Let's see in which way all the distinguished speakers are prepared to give the United Nations the necessary support for moving ahead.''

John Romero's Daikatana Trivia
Published by
Developed by
AdvertisementLong before Daikatana was released, an ad for it was was run in several magazines stating "John Romero's Gonna Make You His Bitch." Needless to say this upset quite a few folks.
Daikatana DeathmatchIn April 2007, a fan team released Daikatana Deathmatch (DKDM), a multiplayer-only modification stripping the game from all the single player parts to reduce the file size for players who only want the multiplayer part. It still requires a full copy of the game to play. The link can be found in the related links section.
DevelopmentDaikatana was in development for 3 years, exactly. The reason for the long development cycle was the switch to the Quake II engine. Romero decided to switch because of its colored lighting, among other graphical goodies, but when he finally received the source code, it was nothing like he pictured. Overall the story of the game's development and Ion Storm in general is as epic and profound as anything in the game. Check the related links for The Story of Daikatana.
DialogueThe characters' sound files used in this game are not encrypted in any way. They're ordinary mp3 files which can be found in the data/sounds/voices folder of the Daikatana directory. There's quite a bit of unused dialogue in there which never made it into the full game. It seems the enemies and the player's two sidekicks were supposed to have more ambient dialogue (e.g. combat taunts, waiting sounds) than what was eventually used.
DopefishThere are four Dopefish hidden in the game, one per time period.
German Windows versionIn the German version enemy blood was colored grey, gore effects were removed and various human enemy modes changed, e.g. into robots or with an added mask to hide their face. A detailed list of changes can be found on schnittberichte.com (German).
Nintendo 64 versionThe Nintendo 64 version misses violence in comparison to the original Windows version, e.g. purple instead of red blood. The PAL version was even cut further: the blood was replaced with sparks and civilians are immortal.
ReferencesIn the lobby of the Mishima Funeral Home/Crematorium, there's some solemn funeral-type music playing. This is really a slowed down version of the famous e1m1 music from DOOM.
RemixAs the sounds and dialog are not encrypted, one creative mixer was able to rearrange the dialog, add a little fake stuff here and there, add some bump-and-grind music, and came up with a long MP3 that sounds as if the two guys in the game were "engaging" the female sidekick. Computer Gaming World called it "the ONLY redeeming feature of Daikatana".
SalesDaikatana sold 200,000 copies and had budget of over $10 million.

France has sent riot police to guard the Paris offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo after it published cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad.
France steps up security as new Prophet Mohammad cartoons are published
France steps up security as new Prophet Mohammad cartoons are published
The latest issue features jokes and several caricatures of the Prophet, including some images of him naked.
The publication comes days after a low-budget anti-Islam film sparked widespread protests throughout the Muslim world.
Senior French Muslims have reacted angrily to the publication. The Rector of the Great Mosque of Paris Dalil Boubakeur said: "I think that what they've done here is beyond comprehension. It breaches normal reasoning, and is a breach of responsibility."
The French government has also criticised the cartoons, which take up several pages in this week's issue, calling them a provocation.
"If people's convictions have really been offended, and laws have been breached – then they can go to the tribunal. We are in a lawful state, laws must be totally respected. That has already happened once this week," said French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault.
But the magazine's editor Stephane Charbonnier hit back saying: "We do caricatures of everyone every week, But when we do it with the Prophet, it's called a provocation."
French police are preparing for more protests after breaking up an illegal rally last weekend against the American film 'Innocence of Muslims'.
The Foreign Ministry has stepped up security at French diplomatic offices around the world.
