Please read through the policy below to familiarize yourself with our common practices and rules.
If you have any questions, suggestions, or complaints, please post them on the talk page.
On Memory Alpha, we like quotes. We especially like quotes that are memorable. These quotes are the ones that when you hear a single sentence or two, you instantly remember the scene and context.
Quotes can be used to highlight episode summaries in their "Memorable quotes" sections, or even to emphasize character traits on articles about various people and species.
Quote guidelines Edit
- Short quotes. Keep them short and sweet. If it needs to be a full scene, or you feel the quote needs context, the quote is not exactly memorable.
- On an episode summary, the "Memorable quotes" section should contain no more than six quotes, but that number is not written on an optolythic data rod and more quotes may be added if a particular episode calls for it.
- In a quotes section, the quotes should be placed in chronological order based on the episode.
- On a character page, if the quote is to be used at the top, it should be a short sentence, at best. One that describes a major quality of the character or sums up their persona. Quotes used in the Memorable quotes section on character pages should only contain a quote by the character and no supporting quotes. If the quote doesn't stand up on its own it doesn't belong.
- Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Not all character articles need a quote. Not all deserve a quote. Talk about it on the article's talk page first.
- Not every quote strikes everyone the same way. What is instantly memorable to you may mean nothing to every other reader of Memory Alpha. If you come across a quote that has disputed memorability, do not simply remove the quote, but copy it to the article's talk page and discuss it there.

How to Use
Olmsted's plan for Boston's park system, known as the "Emerald Necklace," consists of several small parks that are linked by tree-lined roads called parkways. This concept of separate but connected parks provided a way to link newly-added areas to the traditional city center while providing several forms of recreation for area inhabitants such as pleasure driving, picnicking, and hiking. The Arnold Arboretum, the first arboretum in the United States, makes a unique contribution to the system as a place for the study of trees as well as recreation.
1. Why do you think the system is known as the Emerald Necklace?
2. What would be some of the advantages and disadvantages of having a seven-mile long series of parks rather than one large park as was done in other cities?
3. Note the relationship of Arnold Arboretum (upper left corner) to the rest of the parks in terms of size and position.
* The map on this screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high quality version of Map 1, but be aware that the file may take as much as 61 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

Jonathan Martin was a man in turmoil, his depression only fueled by harassment from some of his Miami Dolphins teammates.
In a 144-page independent report released Friday by NFL-appointed investigator Ted Wells, Martin is portrayed as a man who couldn't figure out how to best interact within his own locker room, struggled to reconcile his relationship with football, was driven to drink by his poor play and even twice contemplated suicide in 2013. Martin left the team in October after a cafeteria prank.
According to the report's findings, Martin, who is African-American, was outraged by racial slurs directed at him by fellow offensive lineman Richie Incognito, who is white. Martin was also offended by extremely sexually suggestive comments made by Incognito and Miami linemen Mike Pouncey and John Jerry aimed at Martin's sister — she never met any of Martin's Miami teammates — and mother, who did attend a team function at Fort Lauderdale last April. Martin also was the object of lewd remarks that questioned his manhood and pilloried him for body odor.
FULL REPORT: Check out document of Wells' investigation (WARNING: Graphic language)
FINDINGS: Wells report details pattern of abuse by several Dolphins
BOMBSHELLS: Eight most explosive aspects of report
Being on the receiving end of such behavior would bother most people, but Martin seems to have been especially vulnerable. He frequently self-diagnosed depression and had been the target of bullying in middle school and high school before his football talents emerged.
As his ordeal with the Dolphins continued to escalate, Martin turned to his parents.
Martin, who had an upper-middle-class upbringing in Los Angeles, wrote in a text to his mother last April: "I figured out a major source of my anxiety. I'm a push over (sic), a people pleaser. I avoid confrontation whenever I can, I always want everyone to like me. I let people talk about me, say anything to my face, and I just take it, laugh it off, even when I know they are intentionally trying to disrespect me.
"I mostly blame the soft schools I went to. … I used to get verbally bullied every day in middle school and high school, by kids that are half my size. I would never fight back, just get sad & feel like no one wanted to be my friend, when in fact I was just being socially awkward. Most people in that situation are witty & quick with sarcastic replies, I never have been. I'm awkward around people a lot of the time because I simply don't know how to act around them."
Martin also told her that he was increasingly becoming a loner while at Stanford, though he didn't battle depression at Palo Alto. Yet he expressed disappointment that the college environment had not helped him better assimilate with his peers. He often wanted to quit football but did not because he said it was one thing that provided him focus.
His feelings of inadequacy re-surfaced after he joined the Dolphins as a second-round draft pick in 2012. He told his mother in a text, "Everywhere I go, I get punked. I have a disagreeable personality, people are always annoyed by me. And I don't know how to stop it. I don't. High school still and will forever haunt me."
Martin discussed his teammates' barbs with his father, who advised him to stand up to them but also admitted he had backed down when he faced racial epithets and taunts during his own youth.
Martin's mother and the Dolphins separately helped Martin seek psychiatric care, but he apparently didn't reap much benefit. A prescribed anti-depressant seemed to give him temporary relief last May, but continued jabs from teammates and the pressure of football eventually got to Martin again.
In a text to his mother last May, Martin wrote: "I just don't really see the point in things. It's a major accomplishment for me if I brush my teeth or eat more than 1 meal in a day on off days. It's not that I'm sad, just unmotivated."
He later admitted losing his competitive fire.
TWITTER RANT: Incognito goes off on social media
BELL: Incognito's rant revealing
Though Martin's friendship with Incognito was characterized as "bipolar" in Wells' report, Martin did share his mental health struggles with Incognito and even admitted his suicidal feelings. When Martin got drunk following a poor performance in a loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Oct. 6, 2013 and missed a workout the following morning, Incognito dispatched a teammate to find him.
But prior to that, Incognito and Pouncey were among those who riffed on Martin's insecurity as a football player — he frequently struggled on the field during his 23 NFL starts and lost the left tackle job when Miami traded for veteran Bryant McKinnie last October — while also questioning other facets of his personality.
The Wells report contends Incognito harped on Martin's race because he "doesn't carry himself like a black guy." The investigation went on to state that Pouncey, who is biracial, and Jerry, who is black, alleged Martin "was not really black or not black enough."
Finally, after 18 months with the Dolphins, Martin had endured enough.

Updated Gmail app in Android Market
(Cross-posted from the Mobile Blog)
We just released a new version of the Gmail app in Android Market, so Gmail updates aren't tied to Android version releases anymore. Now you can get new Gmail stuff faster without having to wait for system updates. To start you off, we've improved message replies, access to quoted text, and more.
As you scroll through a conversation, your most important message actions will now stick to the top of the screen, one click away, no matter how long the email is.
Don't remember what prompted the most recent email in a thread? Now you can view previous message content more easily, just like in the desktop version of Gmail. Tap "Show quoted text" to reveal the previous message.
Finally, this updated version of the Gmail app has limited support for Priority Inbox. If you've enabled Priority Inbox via the desktop version of Gmail, you'll see an "Important" label that shows all messages flagged as important. You can even add a shortcut to "Important" to your home screen.
The Gmail update requires Froyo (Android version 2.2), so it's available if you have a Nexus One, HTC EVO, Motorola Droid 2 or Motorola Droid. (Not sure if your device is running Android version 2.2? Check here.)
Get the update from Android Market (just scan the QR code below, or click here if you're on a phone) and check out the new Gmail. We'd love to hear what you think at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Update 9/21/10 12:26pm PDT: There is a known issue where the headers don't stick properly on some HTC phones like the EVO 4G and Droid Incredible. We are working to address this.

I think that I was reading Randy Seaver's mind this weekend.
Randy's assignment was:
1) Think about this: Is all of your genealogical material, which you've gathered over the years, well organized? Do you have papers, certificates, photographs and other ephemera squirreled away somewhere in your genealogy cave center? Do you have forgotten digital files, including documents, photographs and notes hiding in your computer file folders? It's Saturday night, do you know where ALL of your family history information is?
2) Give yourself a grade (from A to F) on how well you've done with your filing of tangible and digital genealogical assets (two grades, one for each). Brag about your organizational prowess if you deserve it - you can be a good example to the rest of us. Bemoan your situation if your files are like mine.
3) Look through your tangible or digital genea-assets and find something you've "lost," forgotten or overlooked that might add to your knowledge about one or more families. Tell us what you found, how will it help you, and will you commit to analyze it, source it, and use it?
Why do I think I was reading Randy's mind?
Saturday I was going to do some research. I went up to my home office, aka "Genealogy Central," to start work. The item I needed was under a pile. That pile included some genealogy folders. And on top of the box next to desk were more genealogy folders. I realized that some of these items should go into the folders in the box.
So I took all of the stuff downstairs to the family room, where there is plenty of space to spread out, to sort and file.
Three hours later, the materials were all sorted and filed.
This is why I am giving myself a "B" for organization of hard-copy assets and not a "C". I must have somehow sensed that Randy's task this weekend had something to do with organization.
A couple of weeks ago, I did some preliminary organization by consolidating some binders and hanging files into portable file boxes (each box contains materials for a particular line where I have done a lot of research: Brinlee, Moore, etc.):
The materials for most of the rest of the family lines I am researching are kept in binders:
Families for which I have only done preliminary research are kept in hanging files, along with materials on genealogical societies, genealogy publications, and so forth.
So there is a system and I can pretty much find what I need at this point. Still, there are a few odd file boxes and binders that are not organized by family: the items I obtained from my research trip to Greenville, SC still have a separate box (there are materials on three different family lines in that box), there is a file box containing documents that were too large to fit in binders or the shorter file boxes that I use, and I still have a binder full of "miscellaneous" genealogy notes.
For digital files, I would also give myself a "B". Most of the sub-folders in my Genealogy folder are organized by family name, with sub-sub folders divided into individual generations, and sub-sub-sub folders for digital copies of vital records, newspaper articles, write-ups, correspondence, etc. The remaining folders are subject-based and have a number at the beginning of the file name so that they precede the family names: 1Forms, 2Research trips, 3To Do Lists, 4Resources, and so forth.
The main problem with my digital files is that I have digital files on two different computers (there was a third I used for a while, but I believe I have transferred all of those files to my MacBook Pro). I can access the files on my desktop computer through the Time Machine, but there is a lot of duplication and enough differences in organization between the desktop files and the laptop files that it can be confusing. Transcription projects, collections of newspaper articles, etc. can sometimes be hard to find. And I still need to put my photographs from both computers onto the Time Machine. So maybe that's a B-.
Bookmarks should also be included in digital organization. Not great - two different browsers + 3 computers = Chaos. This probably brings my digital grade down to a C+. However, I have been working on consolidating everything into a Genealogy Toolbox and have also been using Diigo.
One thing I found while reorganizing was a set of articles from doing a search on "Koehl" on GenealogyBank; the Koehls in these articles were not people I recognized as belonging to my husband's Koehl family, but could be related, so I filed them under the "Leads" section of the Koehl family binder. The source information has already been written on them.
What has been my big advantage in organizing my files?
I've only been doing genealogy for six years.
If I can accumulate this much stuff in six years, what will my files look like in 20 years?

Puppets, Pie and Penny Populate the Off-Off Boards
BY TRAV S.D.(travsd.wordpress.com) | Much like schools, Downtown theaters seem to start their annual "year" in the autumn — often presenting their best and most interesting work in the crucial fall months when it's no longer so warm that most people are recreating outdoors, and not yet so cold that some won't venture out of doors to see shows. This fall, there's so much exciting stuff in the works at Downtown theaters you could get shin splints trying to see it all.
First, we treat you to some of the shows that are already open (so act fast!):
Through October 26, you can see The Bats (the resident acting company of The Flea Theater) present their production of "Sarah Floor in Salem Mass," a movement-based "radical retelling" of the events leading up to the Salem Witch Trials. It's written by Adriano Shaplin and directed by Rebecca Wright. Tickets can be purchased by calling 212-352-3101 or online at theflea.org.
Through November 2, if you have sufficient courage, you can check out the 10th anniversary edition of Nightmare Haunted House, entitled "Killers2" — a sequel to last year's production, which promises to take us up close and personal to such cuddly figures as Charles Manson, Harrison Graham and Aileen Wournos. As always, Nightmare will take place at the atmospheric, castle-like Clemente Soto Velez Cultural Center. More info to be found at hauntedhousenyc.com.
At the Kraine Theater through November 10, Radiotheater will present their adaptation of Orson Welles' radio version of Bram Stoker's "Dracula." This interesting company does something quite different from old time radio show recreations — much of the effort goes into original soundscapes of music and effects that undergird the work of the actors — definitely worth checking out. Tickets are available at horsetrade.info.
From October 5 through October 27, you're downright crazy if you don't go see Varla Jean Merman and the Gold Dust Orphans in "Mildred Fierce," their cross-dressing musical send-up up of the classic 1945 Joan Crawford vehicle. The show will be ensconced at Theater 80 St. Marks, and promises to be "sprinkled with splashy songs, tap dancing pies, bawdy waitress lingo and more surprises than you can shake a rolling pin at." Also in the cast are Ryan Landry, Penny Champayne, Olive Another, Liza Lott and Delta Miles. For tickets and info, go to varlaonline.com.
One of my favorite Downtown companies, the Irish Repertory Theater, has two promising shows on deck this season. From October 9 through December 8, they will be presenting a revival of Sean O'Casey's 1924 masterpiece "Juno and the Paycock." Concurrently, they are mounting a triple-header of avant-garde one acts by Samuel Beckett ("Act Without Words," "Play" and "Breath"), directed by Bob Flanagan. It runs from October 16 through December 1. The skinny on these two shows can be found at irishrep.org.
October 9 through November 17, Soho Rep, in association with American Repertory Theater and Yale Repertory Theater, is presenting the New York premiere of David Adjmi's "Marie Antoinette." The production is billed as "raw, fantastical and funny" — but frankly, the main reason I hope to attend is that they promise that popular Downtown actor/playwright David Greenspan will be playing a sheep. To get yours, go to sohorep.org.
At UNDER St. Marks, from October 10 through 26, you can catch the latest edition of writer and raconteur Clay McCloud Chapman's "Pumpkin Pie Show" — featuring himself, Hanna Cheek and Ana Anensio enacting Chapman's funny, gross and scary monologues. This year the pieces are about such craziness as a case of postpartum depression that descends into madness and an episode of masturbation in the middle of a matinee performance of "Phantom of the Opera." To get in on the action, go to horsetrade.info.
October 10 through 30, the Axis Theater has booked a show they call "Concert of the Mind: Exceeding Human Limits" — a show by Israeli magician Asi Wind, which will consist of mentalism and memorization. In this remarkable-sounding show, he promises to simultaneously solve two Rubik's cubes (one in each hand) without looking, instantaneously remember the order of a completely shuffled deck of cards, perfectly recall a photo he has seen only for a few seconds and memorize the names of the entire audience. Shall we all go and try to stump him? I can't even remember the names of the people in my OWN family photos! More info at axiscompany.org.
Previews begin October 15 for a new show at 3LD called "The Downtown Loop," which purports to offer a virtual bus ride through a future Manhattan showing what was or what might have been. Knowing this company and their penchant for bells and whistles, you can expect to be dazzled — or at least tickled. Official opening is October 23, and it runs through November 16. Info is at 3ldnyc.org.
Here's a brief blip but well worth knowing about: From October 16-19, the so-very-aptly-named gothic queer storyteller Dandy Darkly will be presenting "Gory Hole" (his recent hit of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival) at the C.O.W. Theater (in the Living Theater's old Clinton Street headquarters). "C.O.W." stands for "Celebration of Whimsy" — surroundings in which we feel the rara ava Mr. Darkly will feel right at home. Tickets at 917-972-9394. Also visit dandydarkly.com.
And this is one I don't think I'm going to be able to pass up: Underground legends Mink Stole and Penny Arcade co-starring in the long-neglected Tennessee Williams play, "The Mutilated" (1966). True to form, filth and degradation are their portion in this transitional outing, written when Williams was just beginning to stretch the envelope of sordidness to even lower depths. It remains to be seen whether these two Downtown superstars will play it straight or go for camp, but this is a drink I'll be glad to take either way. It's going to be at the New Ohio Theatre, November 1-24. For more info, go to sohothinktank.org.
November 7 through the 24, La MaMa's Puppet Series, curated by Denise Greber, kicks into high gear — offering nine pieces of cool sounding puppet theater (call 'em "puppet shows" and get your ass kicked!). On the menu will be "The Orphan Circus" by Los Sages Fous (Nov. 7-10), "Are They Edible?" by Jeanette Yew (Nov. 7-10), "Echo in Camera" a co-production of Dead Puppet, the Schauspielhaus Wien and the Grand Theater de Luxembourg (Nov. 7-17), "The God Projekt" by Lone Wolf Tribe (Nov. 14-24), "Dorme" by Laura Bartolomei (Nov. 21-24), a Puppet Slam on Nov. 15 and several kid's shows — "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" (Nov. 16), "The Three Little Pigs" (Nov. 17) and "Squirrel Stole My Underpants Nov. 16-17). If that's not enough to sate your wanton puppet-lust, stick around. The Czechoslovak-American Marionette Theatre will be presenting their marionette adaptation of Plato's "Republic" from November 29 through December 15 and STOP RIGHT THERE. Before you reject it out of hand, I must tip you off that this company's scripts are always way funnier and smarter than they have any right to be. I would gladly see anything this company does — and that includes this show, Socratic Dialogues and all. Info and tickets available at lamama.org.
From November 19 through January 5, something a little different at New York Theater Workshop — 25-year-old Kyle Riabko of the casts of "Spring Awakening" and the recent "Hair" revival will perform a concert of the songs of Burt Bacharach featuring, from the look of the publicity photo, a lot of electric guitar. Go to nytw.org for more details. Or just "Say a Little Prayer."
November 29 through January 6, my favorite dance troupe, the neo-baroque Company XIV, will be presenting their decadent holiday classic "Nutcracker Rouge" at the Minetta Lane Theatre. Companyxiv.com for information and tickets.
Lastly, two more cool-sounding shows at La MaMa, both opening December 6. "The Third Policeman" is the Nomad Theatrical Company's adaptation of Flann O'Brien's absurdist novel, playing through December 15. At the same time, they will be running the world premiere of Mabou Mines co-founder Lee Breuer's "40 year-in-the-making magnum opus," "La Divina Caricatura Part One, The Shaggy Dog." That will be on the boards until December 22.

Filed under: Car Buying, Mazda
When Lauren Carter of Glen Ellyn, IL was in the market for her first car, she went for a Mazda3. Not a bad choice, but not necessarily remarkable on the surface. After all, Mazda sold 123,361 of them here last year alone. What she didn't know was that the car she bought was the 10 millionth Mazda had sold in the US over the course of its 43-year history here, since selling its first rotary-powered R100 here in 1970.
Rather than let the occasion pass with nothing more than a press release (like the one below), Mazda gave Lauren a brand-new 2014 Mazda3 to replace the 2013 model she had bought. Which is a nice gesture, of course, but also enables Mazda to hold on to the landmark 10,000,000th car in its heritage collection.

Question: When we check an EORI number, we get the message that the number is valid, but no further information (such as an address) about where the company is located is provided. No further details, only "number is valid". Why is the address not displayed? How can this be changed?
Answer: The European Commission is not the organisation that delivers the EORI number, the delivery is done by the national Customs administrations. If the company requested its EORI number to the National administration without explicitly authorising the publication of its contact details (name & address), then the address of the company is not published on europa.eu website, for data protection reasons. We invite you to contact your national administration in order to update the EORI contact details which will be automatically updated on the europa.eu website (databases are daily synchronised).

Business owners who have something to say about their Yelp reviews will soon have a voice on the site for the first time. As of next week, small businesses will be able to publicly respond on Yelp to the reviews left by customers, similar to an eBay seller posting a response to feedback left by a buyer. The move should help placate those who have been angsty about Yelp for some time while still allowing users to write openly about their experiences.
Yelp, a review site for local restaurants, stores, and every other business on earth, has always been heavily weighted in favor of customers over businesses. For years after its launch in 2004, business profiles were set up by the users trying to review them, not the businesses themselves. However, as Yelp has grown and become more influential, business owners have become more active in the online Yelp community. As a result, they want to have more of a voice.
In mid-2008, Yelp began allowing business owners to edit their own business profiles and respond to reviewers privately, but there has not been a way for them to respond publicly and present their "side" of the story until now. Some of Yelp's competitors, on the other hand, have long allowed businesses to respond publicly to negative (or positive) feedback, causing some to become frustrated with Yelp's stance. This frustration has only been amplified by long-standing rumors that Yelp pressures businesses into advertising with the site in exchange for the deletion of negative reviews, though Yelp has vigorously denied such claims.
Because of this, the coming changes are a breath of fresh air for owners who want to engage with the online community further. "Business owners for years now have been asking for more and more voice on the site," Yelp CEO Geoff Donaker told The New York Times. "As long as it's done in a respectable way, it's good for the consumer and good for the business owner."
"Respectable" in this case means that business owners won't be able to make personal attacks in their responses, nor are they allowed to use the comments areas to advertise. Instead, they are encouraged to use the space to correct inaccuracies or explain how a problem was fixed. Yelp says that it doesn't intend to screen comments, though (like all Yelp reviews) users can flag the comments for review by moderators.
The changes won't only benefit business owners, either. As a regular Yelp user, I welcome businesses posting responses to reviews and correcting inaccuracies—anyone who has relied heavily on review sites knows how, er, "misguided" some reviewers tend to be, which reduces the quality and reliability of the site as a whole. Being able to hear another side to the story will help balance things out, plus it will make reviewers feel like their comments—good and bad—are being heard.

Technology Education: Description
Technology education is an integral program of study within the New York State mathematics, science, and technology (MST) Learning Standards. Historically, the subject area of technology education evolved from the subject area called industrial arts; as a result of the Futuring Project, a name change occurred in the mid 1980's to what we now call technology education.
Although technology education programs offer students many opportunities to apply their mathematics and science skills, programs at the high school level offer additional opportunities to explore technology-related careers under the Career and Technical Education umbrella. At the intermediate level technology education is a required unit of study to be completed by the end of 8th grade.
Technology Education: Defined
Commissioner's Regulations Part 100.4 defines technology education as a program of instruction designed to assist all students in meeting State intermediate standards for technology. Technology education uses concepts of science, mathematics, social science, and language arts in a hands-on, systems-based approach to problem solving that guides students in the understanding, design, and development of systems, devices, and products to serve human needs and wants.

There, rant over.
What were you trying to print? File -> Print (or ctrl+P) should work on just about every application. This has been standard since at least Windows 95.
It's been a while, so I'm fuzzy on the details, but I think it was a network printer attached to a different machine (a Windows 7 machine?) in the office. Or something like that. Driver problems? Not sure.
But yeah, it wasn't the printing that was difficult, it was setting up the printer to be usable from that computer.
Oh, and I do remember this: The error messages I got along the way were among the least helpful I have ever seen in my life.

Karaoke Competition VII
Get Ready, Set, GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Finally! The next karaoke competition is out! Time to make some people's life miserable while trying to record!
What the whole thing is about short version: gather a couple of songs that other people sing and broadcast it over shoutcast so others can listen and vote for their favorite. And of course, torrent it for those who missed the broadcast. You don't have to be a forum member to participate; any one can as long as they follow the rules. This is a karaoke competition: we want to listen to your voice, not your "skills" on how good you can make a song with special effects (if you don't know what karaoke means, look it up).
The rules are almost the same as last time, but to refresh our memories, here they are.
-Anime OP/ED, character Songs, Game songs are allowed as well. If you're not sure, ask me first.
-Please use the karaoke versions. If you can't find it but know that it exists, let me know and we'll see what it can be done. If there are no karaoke version available and you still want to do that song, then either strip the vocals or sing over the song. NOTE: Your voice HAS TO BE louder than the song itself for obvious reasons.
-Full-length songs only. *new*
-Song has to be recorded in one take. Meaning, no cut and paste!! *new*
-The final product can be in mp3, ogg, or wav. Just make sure the quality is somewhat decent so we can hear your voice.
-The song doesn't have to be in japanese. If an english version of that song exists, you can sing that one. As far as I know, there are songs in latin, korean, english, russian, italian, spanish, german, and many others. So you're not limited to japanese only.
-NO EFFECTS OF ANY KIND. Meaning, no echo, double-voice, harmonies, pitch-tweaking, no special effects of any kind. Unless there are two melody lines (or the melody is more like a harmony), don't even try it. In fact, ask me first before trying.
-This time, I will allow songs that are not in their original pitch. Just let me know to what key it was changed to when you submit your entry.
-Only 1 entry per contestant. You may change your entry to something else if you find a better song/recording until the deadline.
-Submit your entries on http://karacom.animesuki.info. If there are problems with the site, let me know.
-DEADLINE: April 21st, 2007 Midnight EST. (I think by know everywhere where they practice summer time has their clocks set, so hopefully we don't have to deal with that...)
Broadcast date and time will be announced as the deadline approaches.
And of course, there will be prizes for the best entries and so on (yes, I actually mail stuff; just ask the previous winners). Depending on how many enter this time, judging/broadcasting/prizes will change significantly.
If you have any questions, you can reach me through pm, irc (email@example.com), AIM (kcl822), or email
(email@example.com). Happy singing~
Shoutcast info!
For the high-quality (somewhat) one: 128kbps
For those who have no bandwidth: 48kbps

Yay yay, another karacomp~~~ hopefully I can do better than 37th this time!
Does anyone like Makoto Shinkai? (The Place Promised in our Early Days, 5cm) I purchased the single that's featured in his latest game work (ef), with the intention of doing the theme song for this event. Unfortunately, I sound beyond terrible, as the song is quite difficult and is way out of my vocal range. However, I know there is a powerful female singer out there who could perform this superbly. Don't have a song yet and want a challenge? PM me and give this a try! (Edit: Someone has taken it! Who? Wait and see!)

I have a question on mixing that maybe someone can help me with...
For some reason I can only get my mic to record mono. It was a pretty expensive mic, so that doesn't make sense to me. But I've given up trying to figure it out, so now I'd like to know what I can do as far as mixing to make it sound stereo. I know I can duplicate the track and change the pan settings to go out of opposite speakers, but it still doesn't sound quite right. -_-

In the Sound control panel, there should be an option for how many channels the microphone should use. I think that could be it ^^;;;
Alternately, check the recording settings in whichever program you're using (maybe someone can help if you tell them what program it is).

I'll assume you're using Audacity, just because:
Edit Menu, Preferences
Audio I/O tab
Channels: 1 (Mono)
Usually it's the recording program settings.
And... I'm probably not singing... unless I can stop breaking windows.

Only few microphones (often used for video cameras), have true stereo capability (even expensivve ones are often mono-mics, because a single point stereo mic usually cannot provide a good stereo recording... a good stereo recording needs some distance between two recording devices - mics). I suppose the best you can get out of it, is replicated mono (2 channel mono = stereo). Three things are necessary for true stereo: a) the soundcard (or other inputdevice) has to accept stereo (not every soundcard has stereo microphone support) b) the microphone has to support stereo (or you have to use 2, which is the best way to get true stereo) c) settings in the recording software have to be set right.

Mills has 29 and Spurs edge Blazers
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) San Antonio stars Tim Duncan and Tony Parker took the night off Wednesday. No matter. As is usual when the Spurs are without their stars, the rest of the team got the job done.
Patty Mills came off the bench to score 29 points, Marco Belinelli hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:34 remaining and San Antonio rallied in the second half to pull out a 111-109 victory over the Trail Blazers.
San Antonio has won two of three games this season when Duncan and Parker were both absent from the lineup.
Mills helped fill the void with a 24-point second half. The fourth-year guard from Australia came off the bench to hit 13 of 26 shots against the Blazers.
Belinelli had 20 points and Manu Ginobili 16 for San Antonio.
Mills has been on a hot streak since the All-Star break concluded, scoring 25 and 29 points in the Spurs' first two games back.
"If it wasn't for him the last couple nights, we would have really struggled," San Antonio forward Danny Green said. "He's doing what Tony usually does, in taking over in that fourth quarter."
Mills explained his recent stretch in humble tones, saying "for me, it's just been learning from great guys. We've got three future Hall of Famers and a great coach, so I've just sat back and learned."
It wasn't just Mills, though. Belinelli hit four 3-pointers, and Tiago Splitter had 15 points and six rebounds in returning to the lineup for the first time since Feb. 6.
"I thought the effort was fantastic," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said.
Portland was without leading scorer and rebounder LaMarcus Aldridge, who missed the game with a groin injury and is expected to be out at least a week. Also sidelined were forward Joel Freeland (knee) and center Meyers Leonard (ankle).
Aside from Duncan and Parker, the Spurs also were without guard Kawhi Leonard (right hand).
Damian Lillard scored 31 points, including 15 during the fourth quarter, for Portland. Coming off his first All-Star game appearance, Lillard hit 13 of 21 shots and handed out six assists.
Mo Williams had 19 points and Wesley Matthews 18 for the Blazers.
Without Aldridge, Freeland and Leonard, the Blazers had to resort to playing a small lineup. It resulted in erratic play, with stretches when the Blazers' offense went missing.
"We tried to beat San Antonio at their game and they did it better than us," Portland coach Terry Stotts said. "San Antonio is used to playing these games without their guys and they plug guys in and they play well."
Trailing 81-79 after three quarters, San Antonio took command when Green hit back-to-back 3-pointers to fuel a 10-0 run at the fourth quarter's outset. The Spurs led by as many as 10 points, but the Blazers eventually pulled even at 101-101 on Matthews' steal and dunk with 1:52 remaining.
On San Antonio's next possession, Belinelli hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key with 1:34 left to put the Spurs back on top.
Portland led by as many as eight points during the first half, and settled for a 52-51 halftime lead.
Both teams had big runs during a free-flowing third quarter. Mills finished an 8-2 run with a layup to give San Antonio a 69-61 lead. Portland responded with seven consecutive points, then took a 79-75 lead when Williams scored six consecutive points late in the quarter.
NOTES: Portland was the last NBA team to use the same starting lineup this season until Wednesday, when Dorell Wright replaced Aldridge against San Antonio. The Blazers are the first team since the 2010-11 Spurs to start the same lineup during its first 53 games. . Splitter returned to the lineup after missing the past four games with a calf injury. . Blazers' forward Victor Claver, who hasn't played since Nov. 15 and has logged just three minutes of playing time this season, made a first-quarter appearance and played seven minutes . San Antonio concludes a nine-game road trip that began Feb. 3 on Friday at Phoenix. . Before Wednesday, San Antonio was 1-9 in its past 10 games at Portland.

Welch Foundation Grants Fund Three
UT Dallas Chemistry Researchers' Work
May 9, 2007
Three researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas have received grants totaling $480,000 from the Houston-based Welch Foundation, which annually funds chemistry research in Texas.
The scientists, all from the university's School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, received awards ranging from $150,000 to $180,000. The funding cycle for the grants begins on June 1 and continues for three years. The recipients are:
- Dr. Kenneth Balkus, professor of chemistry, $150,000, "Zeolite Encapsulated Metal Complexes"
- Dr. Donald Gray, professor and head of the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, $150,000, "Preferential DNA Binding of Human Replication Protein A"
- Dr. John Sibert, associate professor of chemistry, $180,000, "Functional Redox-Active Macrocyclic and Acyclic 'Wurster-Type' Hosts for Cations and Anions"
The Welch Foundation is one of the United States' largest and oldest private funding sources for basic chemical research. Since its founding in 1954, the organization has contributed to the advancement of chemistry through grants, departmental programs, endowed chairs, visiting lectureships and other special projects at educational institutions throughout Texas. The foundation underwrites numerous endowed chairs in chemistry and related sciences, including one at UT Dallas filled by Dr. Ray Baughman, director of the university's NanoTech Institute.

Gentlemen may cry default, default, but there will be no default. (With apologies to Patrick Henry.)
Once again the media are full of talk about dysfunction and default, as the partial government shutdown threatens to linger until the federal government hits the limit of its borrowing capacity, possibly on Oct. 17. The parties in Congress are still far apart on passing a budget bill to keep the government running, and Republicans are also promising not to raise the debt ceiling without some spending reforms.
If in fact Congress doesn't raise the ceiling by mid-October—or by November 1 or so, when the real crunch might come—then the federal government would be forbidden to borrow any more money beyond the legal limit of $16.699 trillion. But it would still have enough money to pay its creditors as bonds come due. The government will take in something like $225 billion in October, but it wants to spend about $108 billion more than that. You see the problem. If it can't borrow that $108 billion—to cover its bills for one month—then it will have to delay some checks.
Now the U.S. Treasury isn't full of stupid people. Back in 2011, when the debt ceiling of $14.3 trillion was about to be reached, the Washington Post reported:
The Treasury has already decided to save enough cash to cover $29 billion in interest to bondholders, a bill that comes due Aug. 15, according to people familiar with the matter.
You can bet they're making similar plans today.
Back in that summer of discontent I talked to a journalist who was very concerned about the "dysfunction" in Washington. So am I. But I told her then what's still true today: that the real problem is not the dysfunctional process that's getting all the headlines, but the dysfunctional substance of governance. Congress and the president will work out the debt ceiling issue, if not by October 17 then a few days later. The real dysfunction is a federal budget that doubled in 10 years, unprecedented deficits as far as the eye can see, and a national debt bursting through its statutory limit of $16.699 trillion and heading toward 100 percent of GDP.

Recent cruise ship disasters trigger a dip in bookings...and prices
(NBC) -- Given all the bad publicity surrounding several ill-fated cruises earlier this year it's no surprise bookings on cruise lines are said to be down.
Luckily for you, so is the price.
Travel experts are seeing plenty of bargains to get you on board.
"These are savings in some cases, depending on the length of your cruise, that could be $1,000, $1,200 per couple...huge incentive there," notes TravelZoo.com's Gabe Saglie.
Carnival just announced bonus commissions for travel agents who can entice customers to set sail.
"The average cruiser isn't going away," Saglie says. "They're looking for these bargains. They understand that mishaps, although we saw several in a row, are very far and few between."
Jeanenne Tornatore at Orbitz.com notes bookings and prices always fall off this time of year.
"After Spring Break it's the typical start of the slower season for the cruise industry," she points out.
The European cruise market, on the other hand, appears to be benefiting from the slowdown here in the states.
MSC Cruises saw its sales nearly double in April compared to the same month last year.

Our Wired Home
This month's Wired Classroom theme on Reading Rockets got me thinking about our wired home, and how our kids use technology. I know I'm not alone in my conflicted feelings about the role of media in my kids' lives.
Here's a rundown of our Wired Home, what's yours like?
E-mail: The girls don't have their own e-mail address, although they do like to type with the keyboard. When they type e-mails to aunts and Grandma, they use our account, which works just fine.
Websites: Both girls are obsessed with Poptropica, a site they learned about at school. At first I thought it was an okay site because it seemed to encourage some strategic planning, but now I'm wondering just how "educational" it is. Plus I'm terrible at it! No help at all.
I've introduced Molly and Anna to a thousand "educational" game sites, but none of them stick for too long. It's like they can smell "skill and drill" a mile away!
One book site caught their attention for quite awhile. When Molly was into the Magic Tree House series, she really loved the activities on the Magic Tree House site. Her enthusiasm spread to Anna, and we had two MTH passports laying around for quite awhile!
iPod: I mentioned that Molly wanted an iPod for Christmas, and she did get one. So far, she has kept the volume low, and hasn't been tuning us out (as we feared). Both girls really enjoy listening to audiobooks. I'm contemplating a subscription to Audible, but I can't decide!
Software: The girls LOVE Encarta Kids! I've wondered if we should get a set of encyclopedias for our house; Molly always wants to know the background on things. Why do we use Christmas trees? Does Shay (our kitten) see in color? For now, Encarta Kids is a great place to turn for all kinds of answers. But the old-school Mom in me would love for her to have some real encyclopedias to leaf through.
Looking over this list, I can see that more and different types of media are seeping into our lives. I'll be "staying tuned" to our overall use for awhile to try to keep it all in balance. Any ideas for doing that?
Thanks for sharing about Audible. I have another friend who loves her subscription too. I checked out your site too - looks like a good resource!
About Audible.com: I have had a subscription now for 4 months and absolutely love it. I hadn't considered it for kids, but there's plenty of children's books on the site, so I'm sure it would be great.Thanks, too, for all the links. I plan to use some of them in the homeschooling unit studies that I create and distribute freely every Monday at www.homeschoolingADDkids.com

I updated the Roadmap page tonight and tried to make is as complete as possible. I want this thread to be -the- place where we talk about where we are, what we're doing, and where we need to be to make this release happen. I'll try to continue to update this page periodically so that it remains a solid picture of our current state.
Our top priority right now is map creation. This includes laying out the maps in the editor, writing the map scripts, and adding the characters and dialogue. Everything else we work on for now should hopefully be supporting this effort. Supporting tasks for map creation work includes:
- CODE: Improving the map editor to make maps easier and faster to create
- ART: creating missing tilesets that we require (most notably, we need castle interior and exterior tiles)
- CODE: Changes to map mode to allow multiple tile layers and better map context support
- ART: finish the final set of sprites we need (most notably, demon sprites needed for the attack scene)
- SOUND: we are missing a few sound effects that we need for certain scenes on the map
Anything that does not expedite us getting our maps up sooner is secondary. Once we have all of our maps complete enough to play through them all, we will be in a stellar position and hit a huge milestone for making this much belated release finally happen.

I was thinking about making a fairly complex GUI front-end for nnBackup using Autohotkey's GUI commands, but after looking at all of the different possible parameters, the task looked like a real time sync.
So, I thought I would take a different approach and make something that worked with CFG files. I have created a very rough GUI using AHK (no lables, controls not positioned correctly, etc). I am coming to you looking for feedback, since no one knows nnBackup as well as you do.
Here is a screenshot -> http://home.comcast.net/~atomhrt/images/ahk.gif
Basically, you can load cfg files, edit, save and execute with this GUI.
Am I missing anything? Do you think this is worth the work, or just a waste of time? Is there something that could be added to make it a lot better?
Thanks for any feedback.

Vehicles with PDK
Downshifts are carried out to improve deceleration (especially when driving downhill).
Interrupting automatic speed control operation
The speed driven before the interruption remains stored in the memory.
Automatic speed control operation is interrupted automatically:
– If the set vehicle speed is exceeded by more than approx. 16 mph (25 km/h) for longer than 20 seconds.
– If the actual vehicle speed falls to approx. 37 mph (60 km/h) below the set vehicle speed for longer than 60 seconds
(upward slopes).
– For PSM control operations.
Resuming the stored speed
The stored speed should only be recalled when traffic conditions and the road surface so permit.
Switching automatic speed control readiness off
The stored speed value is cleared when the vehicle is parked and the ignition is switched off.
On upward or downward slopes, the set speed cannot always be maintained by the automatic speed control.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has endorsed a plan to distribute about 6,000 special DVD players to members. Specially encrypted discs, known as screeners, would be earmarked for a specific academy voter and would play only on that person's machine. The player also would imprint an invisible watermark on the disc each time it is viewed. In addition, if someone uses a camcorder to tape the movie as it is playing on a monitor, that image would contain information on the person assigned the machine.
Similar watermarking technology used last year on lower-quality videocassettes helped authorities track and convict an Illinois man who had obtained screeners from an academy member and duplicated hundreds of illegal copies for sale.
The success of that effort led Cinea Inc., a division of Dolby Laboratories, to approach the academy about a combination of encryption and watermarking so studios could once again distribute screeners on DVDs.
The Motion Picture Association of America, which represents studios, last year banned the distribution of screener DVDs and videotapes over concerns about bootlegging. Many of the screener copies are of films that are in movie theaters or are still unreleased.

Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), today congratulated Dr. Naoko Ishii on her appointment as CEO and Chairperson of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and stressed the facility's key role in supporting the transition to a low carbon, resource-efficient Green Economy as one important way to realize a sustainable century.
Dr. Ishii, who previously served as Japan's Deputy Vice Minister of Finance, said that under her leadership, the GEF) - the world's largest public funder of environmental projects - would become a more vocal advocate for the innovative environmental finance that is needed to meet the development challenges of the 21st century.
Established in 1991, the GEF is a financial mechanism to support countries in efforts to achieve the goals of United Nations conventions covering biodiversity, climate change, international waters, ozone layer depletion, land degradation and persistent organic pollutants.
UNEP is one of several implementing agencies of the GEF, along with the UN Development Programme, the World Bank, other UN bodies and Regional Development Banks.
To date, the GEF has provided incremental grant financing totaling US$10.5 billion while leveraging US$51 billion in co-financing for over 2,700 projects in over 165 developing countries and economies in transition.
"The GEF has established a record of great achievement, yet the world remains on an unsustainable path and needs new ways to manage the global environment," said Dr. Ishii upon her appointment.
"It is urgent and critical to forge trusting and productive partnerships among governments, international partners, the private sector, and civil society organizations," she added.
UNEP is the only GEF implementing agency whose core business is the environment. In this role, UNEP supports the strategic and policy direction of the GEF, while also assisting countries in developing and executing GEF projects.
UNEP is directly involved in GEF projects in some 142 countries.
"From supporting new bus rapid transit systems in Brazil, to sustainable soybean production in Uganda, the GEF is successfully demonstrating the innovation while building the capacity of countries to make concrete contributions to sustainable development that improves lives and livelihoods and generates growth while keeping humanity's footprint within planetary boundaries," said UN Under-Secretary-General and UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner.
"By using sound science to catalyze creative policies and strengthening environmental governance, the GEF has made a significant difference on the ground in countries across the world. UNEP looks forward to continuing our strong involvement with the GEF Partnership under Dr Ishii's leadership, and supporting the international community in accessing the financing needed to achieve a sustainable 21st century."
Some key achievements of the GEF include:
- Identifying level of contaminants in Russian Arctic and supporting government and indigenous peoples to address health risks from these sources.
- Improving method for geophysical exploration for geothermal energy, resulting in the lifting of economic barriers to the up-scaling of this renewable energy source in Eastern Africa
- Protecting 30,000 hectares of peatlands worldwide and raising awareness of the importance of these areas in climate change mitigation and biodiversity conservation
- Demonstrating new technologies and approaches to combating malaria without using DDT and other persistent organic pollutants in Mexico.
- A special publication highlighting 20 twenty flagship GEF projects to mark the facility's 20-year anniversary is available at http://www.unep.org/dgef/GEF20BestProjects/tabid/55715/Default.aspx
Notes to Editors:
Biographical information on Dr. Naoko Ishii:
Prior to becoming the fourth CEO and Chairperson of the GEF, Dr. Ishii, as Deputy Vice Minister of Finance, was responsible for Japan's international financial and development policies, and for its global policies on environmental issues such as climate change and biodiversity. She led the Japanese delegation at the Transition Committee for designing the Green Climate Fund. Dr. Ishii's career at the Ministry of Finance began in 1981 with a focus on the international sphere, particularly development issues. Later in her career she was Japan's Director for Bilateral Development Finance (2004-2006) and for coordination with Multilateral Development Banks (2002-04).
She has published numerous papers and several books, two of which were awarded by Suntory Prize (1990) and Okita Memorial Prize for International Development Research (2004). She is the inaugural recipient of the 2006 Enjoji Jiro Memorial Prize. She holds BA and Ph.D. from University of Tokyo.
In June, GEF's Council unanimously selected Dr. Ishii to succeed Monique Barbut, who completed her second term as CEO in July 2012.

CINCINNATI: Crews are preparing to move into the next stage of cleanup of thousands of gallons of pipeline oil that leaked into a nature preserve.
Officials said Friday that crews were winding up the initial emergency response that focused on removing the heaviest concentrations of oil in the Oak Glen Nature Preserve west of Cincinnati. Officials hope to begin focusing on removing residual oil from individual sections of the preserve next week.
Federal officials estimate more than 20,000 gallons � about 500 barrels � spilled into an intermittent stream and an acre-sized marshy area that forms a pond in wet weather.
No problems have been detected with air quality or local water wells, but at least 20 small creatures �including crayfish, frogs and salamanders � contaminated with oil had died.

I do not read that many graphic novels but I picked up the Chew books due primarily to their heavy food content. The main character Tony Chu is a F.D.A. Agent who is also a Cibopathic, which means he gets psychic impressions from whatever he eats. The graphic novels are set in the future, where chicken is outlawed due to the deaths that resulted from the avian flu. The first volume entitled "Taster's Choice" is basic and sets out back story of Tony Chu and his move to the F.D.A. The second volume "International Flavor" sets up the stories of the villains in more detail.
The villains in the Chew graphic novels are fun because they are food based. The first villain presents as a vampire but is actually a Cibopath, as he can learn as much from blood as he can from flesh. I enjoy the speciality talents that revolve around food in the Chew books. One man is an cibolocutor which means that, as a mute, he communicates solely through his cooking. Amelia Mintz (later to become Chu's girlfriend) is a Saboscrivner, which means that she can write about food so accurately and with such precision that people reading her words get the actual sensation of taste when reading about the meals she writes about.
The later volumes of Chew are more fun than the first volume because they include more surprisingly violent scenes. In the later volumes almost all of the villains and allies have food related skills. This makes the graphic novels more interesting to me. In general I find these graphic novels refreshing and interesting. They would make an interesting addition to any food lover's bookshelf!
