A middleman has been ordered to take charge of some of former banker Chris Latham's money to pay his estranged wife, Nancy, and various court associated costs, according to a recent court filing in the divorce case.
The pair have been entangled for two years in a bitter divorce proceeding, in which each has accused the other of infidelity. Criminal charges were filed against Chris Latham in August, about four months after allegations were made of a plot to kill Nancy Latham, a Mount Pleasant real estate agent and state lottery official.
Chris Latham and four others were jailed in connection with the alleged plot and are jailed awaiting trial.
In the meantime, the divorce proceedings have continued in Family Court.
On Thursday, a judge issued an order that appointed a sequestrator who will take control of Chris Latham's $99,000, which he identified as money he saved after the divorce was filed, the order stated.
In July, he was ordered to use that money to pay temporary support to his wife. The sequestrator is now ordered to use that money to pay unpaid and ongoing obligations to Nancy Latham, which had already been set in previous orders.
According to the order, the sequestrator is also ordered to liquidate the retirement and other investment accounts to pay the following: all fees associated with the sequestrator, $46,000 Chris Latham had previously received from Merill Lynch without permission from the court to be paid to Nancy Latham, $100,000 to both Chris and Nancy Latham as an advance to the marital estate and $13,641 to Nancy Latham for her attorney fees generated since July 15.
Chris Latham's attorney, Robert Rosen, and Nancy Latham's divorce attorney, Tim Madden, could not be reached for comment Friday.
The alleged murder-for-hire plot came to light in April. Charged were 38-year-old Samuel Yenawine of Louisville, Ky.; Yenawine's ex-wife, 37-year-old Wendy Annette Moore, identified as Chris Latham's girlfriend and former assistant at the bank; Yenawine's girlfriend, Rachel Palmer, 36, and Russell Wilkinson, 39, both of Louisville.
Yenawine hanged himself June 25 inside his cell at the Georgetown County jail. The others remain in jail.

If you're in a quandary about what to name your baby-to-be, how about letting your wider social network of friends and family vote to narrow down the choices? It worked for Dave and Lindsey Meske earlier this year who created a poll on Facebook to decide on a name for their little girl (Madelyn won the vote).
A new startup called Belly Ballot is taking baby name suggestions to a different level and letting your social networks on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest have a say. The process is pretty simple. You create a 'Belly Ballot' of names that you like and then you share it with everyone you want feedback from. Friends and family from near and far can provide input, vote and even offer suggestions for other names that you may have not previously considered (which may make the naming process even harder!).
This site is obviously not for the population of people who are fiercely protective of baby names and refuse to even divulge possibilities. But for those who are open with their options and want other people's suggestions, it could be a fun and interactive way to decide on a name for that bun in the oven.
Here's a quick video on how it works:
What do you think about crowdsourced baby-naming? Would you do it?

Puppy's future
First off, I apologize if this is in the wrong category. If so, sorry Flash.
Just a few observations that I've made, now that BarryK has announced his 2nd retirement...
BarryK appears to be moving on to ARM development, smartphones and tablets. That may be well and good, but I own a tablet (which is based on Android, and an Android based smartphone, too), and I'll be damned if I wipe out the current operating system that it provides, along with a plethora of free-apps, for a niche distro. I guess I can see using Puppy on Raspberry, but again, it is a 'niche' distro...not too much there in terms of a user base. Raspberry is cool, cliche, but not so much mainstream. And I'm willing to bet that it never will be mainstream.
I for one think that Gnu/Linux will survive for another decade or so, desktop or otherwise. Businesses use it, so do developers (even ARM app-developers need desktops/laptops), not to mention those that run servers. And let's not forget the gamers. No, I don't see Gnu/Linux drying up and disappearing in the near future. Will it loose users? Most definitely. Casual users are moving towards tablets. Will it disappear entirely? No, I don't think that will be the case. Even though I have a tablet, and enjoy it immensely, I still find myself using my desktop/laptop at least (if not more than) 80% of the time. There's just so much you can do with a tablet.
And as far as Puppy goes, I'd like to see Puppy move towards a singular distribution (in terms of its base) in order to focus on its strengths. I realize that traditionally Puppy is geared towards older hardware; this is commendable, and should certainly be followed up on. But Puppy should also gear itself towards modern hardware whenever possible.
For my taste it seems that Puppy has become too diverse in terms of its development base. Why do I say this? Well, if you've ever tried to develop on woof2, you'd realize that it doesn't work as advertised. While it may work well with Precise or Slacko, it fails miserably with Wary/Racy, Debian and Arch builds. Arch fails to boot into a desktop (and has a huge ISO size), and Wary/Racy/Debian fail to download much or their required apps, and not just a few...many. It appears that it would be best to concentrate on one thing, which is traditionally the Linux way, and then to do it well. It's all well and good to provide support for Precise, but if BarryK has left the building, how long will that be a viable base for developers using woof2? Same with Slackware? Arch would be a good candidate being that it would use the latest packages because it is a rolling release and woof2 tries to pull in the latest packages, but if you can't even boot into a desktop, and the ISO is huge, what good is it? Wouldn't it be better to base it on a singular distro, say T2 or LFS, in order to make use a dedicated repository? In terms of hardware support, at some point don't you need to say "Ok, here's where the line is going to be drawn...we're going to support computers aged X and newer?". You can't be everything to everyone.
You know, on the one hand I applaud someone like simargl for developing something like his version/vision of ArchPup, which isn't a Puppy at all. But...on the other hand, I perceive him to be an a-hole; I see his attitude to be counter-productive in terms of advancing the Puppy-brand. And you may perceive my attitude to be the same (to each their own). It may be that in the (near) future this may be the future of Puppy development (not the paranoid "he's stealing from me" thing, but more so the totally custom builds that move things away from Puppy).
Well, these are my personal Puppy Linux rants. And my woof2 rants, too
Maybe you agree, maybe you don't, but at least I've managed to get it off of my chest.

Maybe Woof could be developed to create better Puppy 'spins'. Maybe it could be combined with adding choices for architectures and packages. I like what porteus has done. allowing you to select options on the the download page-
Regarding Woof and Arch people may find this post by Barry informative-
I have fixed Woof to build from Arch packages, however I personally won't take it any further.
Firstly, size. My x86 Arch pup build is enormous. This is because Arch developers have given no concern for size in some packages, choosing to link some libraries statically where they need not have been.
Secondly, I am not sold on the rolling release model. For us Linux geeks it is OK, but I don't think it is good for the "great unwashed" (see Sages comment in the previous blog post).
There is a wiki page regard Puppy Development but its over a year out of date-

BarryK was willing to spend endless time tweaking Puppy for the enjoyment of his testers. No one else is likely to have the time or inclination to do the same. Frankly, that is not a bad thing. Puppy simply needs a stable core which is supported long term which others can build their variants from if they choose to do so. Is there any agreement on what that core should be?
On my hardware nothing works as well as the T2 builds of Racy/Wary. Does anyone have the ability and inclination to update some of the libraries required by Firefox and Chromium? That is all Racy and Wary need.

What is the key feature of Puppy Linux that has differentiated it from other Linux distros? To me, it is great support for older hardware. Extending the life of older hardware is what classic Puppy Linux was all about. From that "mission statement" everything else followed: the small ISO size, the focus on lightweight applications with modest hardware requirements, and so on.
Once you throw out support for older hardware as THE key requirement, IMO you no longer have a Puppy Linux. It may be BASED ON Puppy Linux, but it's no longer a Puppy. Once you decide that support for older hardware doesn't matter, then it no longer makes sense to fuss over ISO size and all the rest. Bundle Libre Office as the standard office suite? Sure, why not? Bundle Chrome and Firefox and Opera? Heck, yes. VLC as the standard media player? Of course. GIMP too. Dialup modem support? Why bother? And while we're at it, might as well ditch the whole "devx" SFS idea and just bundle all of that in as well--what's a couple of hundred Megs more?
Don't misunderstand me--I'm not being sarcastic. The need to support older hardware is a severe drag on any attempt to keep pace with the other major distros. So cut loose that anchor. Do it right and you'll end up with a nice, modern Linux distro, full of powerful apps and plenty of bells and whistles and eye-candy. It just won't be a Puppy, not in my book.
That's why Woof--albeit a clever idea and an amazing achievement--always struck me as an exercise in futility. The purpose of Woof was to get access to the rich depositories of major distros like Ubuntu and Slackware. But those depositories would inevitably and increasingly be filled with software that would run poorly if at all on the older hardware that classic Puppy Linux was designed for.
Some have suggested that the definition of "older hardware" should simply be adjusted upward, so that Puppy targets hardware that is (say) ten-years old, at any given time. But most hardware from 2003 is capable of running a full-blown Linux distro anyway. Extending the useful life of that hardware is not such an issue, as is shown by the fact that about a third of all Windows users are still on XP. I sympathize with those who adamantly oppose software bloat on principle--I'm one of them--but let's face it, the average computer user doesn't care, nor should they.
Let's have a clean break. Let Puppy Linux remain focussed on hardware from the Win98 to mid-Win-XP era. Let those who want to move forward set higher, modern minimum hardware requirements so that they aren't handcuffed by the past. But let's not pretend that these modernized derivatives are still going to be Puppies. They have a different charter and should have a different name to match.

What I want from puppy is:
1) A choice of kernels (to try to match the needs of each of my different machines without being forced to a newer / fatter kernel if I don't want it)
2) Access to programs that run quickly and avoid bloat. (because i feel that bloated programmes increase the risk of backdoor code / phone home code etc etc)
3) Speed
4) Speed
5) Speed

Post subject: new machines and puppy
I've had no problems choosing Puppy to run new machines. The reason is that I define my "new" machine to be low-power and light, the likes of PCs with AMD APUs and Intel Atoms in them. These have always been dismissed by the big boys as "entry-level" hardware, meaning, that only the less demanding (or less able to pay) users would prefer them.
Remember that MS even attempted to douse the enthusiasm for low-power "netbooks" (Atom-based mostly) by limiting its screen size and RAM? That's like throwing the turtle to the river - only this time, the turtle is a Puppy.
Umm, no, it's really the rabbit, the fast one.
So Puppy moves on with the times of changing hardware, and its niche remains to be the people who prefer to use "underpowered" computers. When the eeepc was introduced, Puppy literally was jumping with joy, while the other big OSes were choking.
Now, perhaps we can amend the description of Puppy's target users as those who prefer to use low-power computers ("underpowered", as the big monopolist would put it). That is, in addition to those who keep using old kit.
How do we know that there is such a user base for new but underpowered computers? We look right here. For example,
jamesbond is already at Alpha3 of FatdogARM
Shall this trend of using ARM processors as PC continue? I guess so. Shall I prefer to run Puppy on those machines? Yes, of course!

Some ideas:
The ISO size decision was made NOT as a RAM decision, but as a download decision. RAM to run PUPs have/has seemingly been available since I joined Puppy Linux. And the PCs many/most of the membership community have and are using work.
RAM size is one of PUPs advantages as it will work with as little or as much RAM as is available on the PCs
Processors and motherboards continue to advance as these provide good and useful speeds as the ever increasing applications exploit hardware for human use and advantage.
There is a PUP, currently, in the kennel for each and every PC that I am aware as having been built by vendor and user. This community demonstrates the widest variety of PC systems; from small to very large in scope.
The concern that we can address and deliver to current and new users is one where this community's developers started several years ago when they began to document the intended PCs and PC needs for the distros they produce for our use. This is a very good policy that they have adopted as it makes easy for any user to see what the developer intends, tested, and visualized for their distros.
Good ideas are being brought to the table in this thread's discussion.
Since time marches on, I think one way of looking at what the OP presents is that it could be time we, as a community, recognizing the change occurring, come up with some new ideas which makes attractive for ANY user to want to use Puppy Linux, regardless of what PC he may have. For example; one statement that could be present somewhere would list distros and some target PCs it is intended. If such a list is present, a quick scan would provide necessary guidance for user selection rather easy. Another example might change the mission statement to embrace the advancements in multimedia that has occurred.
I sure there are other avenues which could be pursued, also, to make Puppy Linux attractive such that it will continue to attract new users with even fresher ideas than we now possess.
For Puppy to flourish, we, like the PC hardware and network services, must also advance, one would think.
But, ...

Yes, some interesting input indeed! I particularly like the fact that we all have an opinion. Diversity is a good thing.
Well, to start with, concerning the belief that Puppy is intended only to be used with older hardware, and the notion that older hardware support is what makes a Puppy distro a Puppy, I would have to digress. I know from developing Carolina (and lina-lite, and also from observing the Saluki thread) that there are plenty of Puppy users out there that desire a modern back-end that can provide support for modern packages. There are plenty of users that have modern hardware that enjoy Puppy because it does provide a smaller footprint, not to mention a wonderful frugal install (which allows one to recover very quickly should they 'trash' their save-file); and speaking of a frugal install via a much more usable (and older) version of grub, it allows end-users to have multiple versions of Puppy side-by-side on their hard-drive in short order. No fuss, no muss. As far as Puppy support for older hardware goes, there already is a plethora of existing Puppy distros/derivatives that provide the Win95/WinXP era people with what they need. These are already available, rich in their diversity, thoroughly tested, and most of them very, very stable.
My main point in creating this thread was concerning the future of Puppy, in terms of keeping Puppy viable and attracting new users to the Puppy brand. Something like Puppy-Precise is at present very attractive, but what about down the road a bit? Ubuntu moves on. There's no guarantee that woof2 will also move on. And I may be in the minority here, but I never cared for using another distro's repositories; there's too much lack of control in terms of pet size, and the said distro may make changes that could obsolete the Puppy backend, or particular packages, or even the Puppy version itself. Or, what if for example, down the road the Precise repository should cease to exist altogether? If no one is maintaining woof2, then where does that leave Puppy developers? To me, it would make more sense to put the woof2 emphasis on Debian support instead of Ubuntu. But even there it would need to be done in a manner that would incorporate the latest stable 'flavor' instead of hard-coding the present stable version. Things move on, and if woof2 depends on a hard-coded paradigm, then sometime down the road it will cease to be a viable method for creating Puppy distros. Actually, this is my main concern. That is the only reason that I suggested that Arch would be a better alternative because it provides a 'rolling-release'. But all of those things could (and probably would) happen with Arch, too. And even though BarryK states that he's successfully built Arch using woof2, and so have I, on my 'puter it won't go to a desktop. So there certainly are some issues there. I guess I'm trying to impress upon the Puppy forum that 'woof2' isn't even stable at present; what does that mean down the road in terms of Puppy development?
Yes, perhaps it would be simpler to "cut loose" and create my own distro independent of Puppy, but what if I don't what too? Is it sacrilegious to have a desire to create a frugal-base Puppy that provides back-end support for modern hardware/software? Certainly, there is room for everyone, isn't there? And that's why I suggested simplifying things, focusing on one thing, doing one thing well....that is why I suggested basing future versions of Puppy upon T2 or LFS. A common repository for all.
And don't get me wrong, I certainly appreciate BarryK's contributions concerning Puppy and woof2...obviously, without BarryK's contributions neither would have come to fruition. I respect the hell out of BarryK...I'm only pondering what happens down the road now that he has decided to retire. On the one hand I see a lot of possibilities for Puppy Linux, on the other hand I see foobar.
With all of that said, it certainly was refreshing to read the wide-ranging opinions that everyone has concerning this subject. In the end, no one is wrong.

Number of people in a team that makes Puppy derivative, or official release based Ubuntu is equal to zero. That puts Puppy to a list of dormant Linux distributions, or is that correct? No developers means no future releases, and that is not surprising, Puppy Linux was one man show, and only distribution without real package manager and build system.
Puppy shouldn't be based on T2 or LFS, it needs rewrite of pet package manager with support for
build scripts
like all other distributions, with proper dependencies handling, to be fast and reliable.
But, who will write new package manager and with what motivation, when he will never get even simple "Thank you"

Post subject: ISO size
Originally Puppy loaded everything into RAM. Later Puppies are more sophisticated.
So RAM size was the only criterion for limiting ISO size. If you can find Barry's original blog somewhere on the web this is all described in detail.
The fact that this made it easy to download over a low-speed link was an added bonus. (This was the reason I originally tried Puppy as I was downloading every small-sized ISO I could find in 2004).

I like what Raffy writes. I have EEPC and Acer D250 and D255
and an old Packard Bell with Celeron CPU and 512mb or was it 256MB RAM?
Ideal for lite distros like ?Puppy.
But am I really alone loving
that Puppy do frugal install on NTFS
and same updates in save file in an easy to manually set up boot menu.lst
Only Porteus and latest Slack comes near in size and frugal install
on NTFS and with save file.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum

Linux distribution appear and disappear every year.
The ones that survive longer have a big core of developers (so can afford "defections" among other things).
Puppy is really a unique case of a 10-year old, one man show (and I do not mean to diminish all the people that contribute in puppy's development).
Puppy is what Barry Kauler wants it to be and so will be its future (he owns the name, you see).
The options I believe are
a) BK designating a (group of) person(s) to continue the Puppy/woof work
b) a (group of) person(s) working (together) along the woof lines will be christened by BK with "Puppy"
c) Puppy will follow the dormancy of other distros.
Given that BK (and Linux really) believes in do-ocracy, (b) is more likely that (a).
The real problem for (a) and (b) however, is the lack of either a financially secure, capable puppy developer that can devote 100% of his/her time on puppy (continuing the one-man-show model), or a group of developers with common ideas that can work together in a complementary way ( as this thread and many others suggest).
If these hold true for long, (c) will be the likely outcome.
But do not wary the real name of linux is "phoenix". It can always regenerate from its ashes (maybe as a different animal sometimes

And hardware tech moves on.
puppy are used to work on Intel x86 CPUs but them change too.
Intel latest power saving tech has not reached the Linux kernel yet?
Intel: Clover Trail Atom chips 'cannot run Linux'
Clover Trail is an x86 chip and thus it will run any compliant code thrown at it.
Technically, there is no reason that a user can not wipe out Windows 8 and install a Linux distribution on the tablet.
The issue is that Clover Trail is packed to the brim with power saving features,
very few of which will work when using a Linux-based operating system.
so until Linux kernel devs catch up and include that code
it will run too hot or to have a poor battery life compared to Win 8.
but it is worse. Would Intel even give away that needed code for free
to the Linux devs? Not likely so only Ubuntu would have money enough
to pay for to get access to the power saving code needed.
that would suggest that maybe the niche for puppy linux is
to be a lite OS for older Intel Atom CPUs like the D250 and
the others like that and for the AMD cpu and a few more?
For to allow people to use Puppy on cheap available machines
everywhere using a CD or DVD or USB or doing frugal install
or wiping out the old windows if that is preferred.
To expect any dev to be so motivated and dedicated that they take on
proprietary Intel code and reverse engineer some patch seems not likely.

The way that article is written ... doesn't look to me as good reporting. Based on one particular processor model the author is making a far-reaching and broad-sweeping assumption. But he doesn't tell us, that Intel is the biggest contributor to Linux kernel. It has staff on its payroll, assigned to work exclusively on kernel development. Intel also supports the development of GCC. Starting from version 4.5.3, GCC has been steadily improving its support of Atom processors. Intel has a vested interest in Linux. It is a Linux friendly company, but the article implies otherwise.

Trojans find identity on the road to state finals
BOURBON — As the 2012-13 season opened, Triton found itself struggling to find a sense of identity.
It made for an up-and-down front end to the year as the Trojans dropped three of their first five games on their way to an 8-5 start, not bad by many teams' standards, but still not nearly up to the level of expectations for a program that has become accustomed to championships and high rankings in the weekly AP polls.
Then it hit head coach Jason Groves — this year's squad would make a name for itself on the defensive end.
"We kind of had to find our niche or identity I guess you could say throughout the season. I don't think at the beginning of the year we really had one," he said. "We weren't really good defensively. Offensively we had Clay (Yeo), so it was like 'What do we do well?' I couldn't think of anything in particular we did extremely well, so I thought, well, I guess we can get pretty good defensively, and that's what we've been focusing on. We have some kids who are fairly long and athletic and strong, so it kind of fits us now. That's kind of how we've been winning — play good defense and get enough offense to get a victory."
It's a recipe that's proven pretty effective for the team.
The Trojans are on a 12-game win streak that's included Triton's sixth straight sectional championship and the team's fourth regional and semistate titles within the same six-season span. They've held opponents to just a shade over 40 points during the streak — they're rated eighth in the state in points allowed — and the scores just keep getting lower.
After clinching the Sectional 51 title with a 47-46 win over Marquette Catholic back on March 2, Triton held both Fort Wayne Canterbury and Pioneer to 41 points to get back on top at regional, and last weekend, the team allowed just 32 points in a blue collar victory over a physical Lafayette Central Catholic squad.
"It's our mindset when we enter the game," said junior forward Cody Shively. "We're going to go in and we're going to shut down our man, and if one of our teammates gets beat we're going to step over and we're going to help them out. It's just a mindset out there.
"After we lost in the Bi-County game against LaVille, Coach said we could go one of two ways — we could either go uphill and see how far we could get and come together, or we could go the opposite way. We decided we want to see how good we are, and defense is the easiest way to do it. Anyone can play defense if you try and give it your all. After that game we just came together and stepped it up defensively."
If recent history is any indication, this weekend's Class A state championship game will likely be another low-scoring affair. And that's just what Triton (20-5) is expecting against a Borden (23-3) team that players describe as fundamentally solid.
"It's going to be about being efficient on the offensive end. We know they're a very disciplined basketball club," said Clay Yeo. "It's not going to be a pretty game. It's going to be low scoring, we're both so good at defense. So if you're looking for a high-scoring battle, you probably shouldn't come to the game. We're just going to do whatever it takes to win."
Saturday's game represents Triton's fourth trip to the state finals in only six years, a resume as impressive as any in the state.
Players credit their coaches for the program's success, and Groves puts the credit back on his players, both current and past.
"The last six years we've been in the state finals four times. We just try to live up to that. We've been playing really well the last couple games, and it's nice to be back there," said junior guard Tanner Shepherd.
"Coach Groves is so great," added Shepherd, who transferred from Tippecanoe Valley in his sophomore season last year. "He spends so much time; he's the best coach I've ever had, and he has so much knowledge of the game. It's nice to be able to win over here like we are."
"Credit Coach Groves for all of this," echoed Yeo. "He started it with the '08 team that made it down there and won the state championship. And credit those guys on that team, I think they also had a lot to do with it. They gave us the confidence and said 'Hey, you guys can do this if you put in the time like we did,' and I think that's what established Triton as sort of a powerhouse in the state in 1A. It's just the mentality that we take into practice that the other guys passed on.
"There are new guys that come in every year and want to experience it for themselves. We do it for the new guys, and we do it for ourselves. We just want to win."
"I can sum it up in about five words — Jake Everett, Troy McIntyre, Joel Meister, Colton Keel, Griffyn Carpenter, Clay Yeo. I guess six names," said Groves with a laugh. "I've had some really good players throughout the years. It's really been amazing to me the talent that has come through here over the years at a small 1A school in such a short amount of time. At the same time, they're good kids. They bought into what I was preaching. Sometimes you can have good kids, and it still doesn't work out, and fortunately for us that first group in '08, they were really good leaders, and it just carried over to the underclassmen and they bought in. That's a credit to the kids, and that's a credit to the parents to have kids like that because society is not like that today. "
While this weekend's state championship is nothing new for Triton, it's Borden's first trip to the state finals in any IHSAA-sanctioned sport.
Five players on this year's roster — Shively, Yeo, Bryson Mosier, Seth Glingle and Drew Mosson — dressed for the Trojans' last trip to state in 2011, a foray that ended in a 55-59 loss to Indianapolis Metropolitan. Groves is hoping that past experience on the big stage at the Banker's Life Fieldhouse helps ease his players into Saturday's showdown.
"Just the familiarity I think is an advantage," said the Triton boss. "The kids know what to expect, they know what it's going to be like playing at Banker's Life. I described it to somebody this week, it's kind of like being in a movie. It's just strange. The atmosphere is not quite the same as it is in a normal high school gym. The people are so far away, and there's so much space. That's just different than what we're used to. Being used to that I think definitely helps. The kids have been there. Hopefully it'll help ease their tension a little bit, but they've still got to show up and play the game."
In one interesting wrinkle to Saturday's game, Triton and Borden ended the regular season tied for the final spot in the AP's Class A Polls, and three weeks later the co-No. 10s are set to battle it out for the top spot in the state.
Borden beat No. 3 Barr-Reeve 43-42 for the regional championship on March 9, while Triton has knocked off three state-ranked squads in the tournament, including No. 8 Marquette, No. 4 Pioneer and No. 6 Central Catholic.
"I just think it's crazy. I don't really know much about Borden, but we've come a long way from the turning point, our last loss at LaVille," said Triton sophomore point guard Joey Corder. "It could have been a lot worse; our ranking is a lot better than it should be with the start of our season. We've gotten a lot better; we've worked hard in practice and it's really paying off. Now we're playing for a state championship."

In the spring of Kyoko's first year in high school, Eiko, a girl like a sister to her, returns with her younger brother, Jiro.
The return isn't that big of a deal, but Jiro (self proclaimed super mad scientist) has it in his head that he wants to operate on Kyoko!
And, what's even more, the two of them are actually high ranking members of an Evil organization at the run from the heroes of justice!
As if high school didn't have enough problems already, now she has to deal with these two living with her.
Anyone reading this besides me? So uhm, Ive just recently read this, and It's one of the funniest manga out there (well for me at least) I know the story is kinda cliche but its actually good and definitely worth a try

Oh, somebody finally made a thread about this! Yes, I couldn't be arsed...
It's a nice, fun manga. Nothing groundbreaking, but the delivery is pitch-perfect and the characters likable. I particularly like how the mangaka ended up upgrading Midoritani-kun from the fanclub to a (barely noticeable) core part of the cast and Jiro's friend.
Personally, I really want to read the manga-in-manga Underground City Kaizer. It must have been totally awesome in every Wilhelmine way possible. That moustache! XD

To be honest, I never did know what their evil organization ("KILL THEM ALL") do. I think they stated it somewhere in the interview chapter but I was too lazy to pay attention.
I hope there's be more fanclub+Jiro chapters. Those guys are epic when there together XD oh yeah, and more Kyouko vision pls

Been reading the series for a while and I have to say it has become one of my favorite new series that Shounen Sunday has serialized in recent years. Has a nice blend of comedy and romance that doesn't come off as horribly annoying or poorly placed.
One of the most hilarious things for me are the evil organizations that happen to not be so evil most of the time.

I just noticed this and read up to the current chapter. It's pretty hilarious, but guess it's not that big with such little response. It reminds me of a longer version of Onidere. Even the side characters are sometime funnier than the main two characters. Eiko and Yuki are just too funny at times. Good lighthearted read for me...

Well, I like it a lot, if that counts for anything.
What I don't feel like such a good move though is Jiro's increasing harem. One or two extra just for the lulz is fine, but the latest addition is getting it a bit out of hand. Or maybe I was just hoping for *that girl* to be a bro-con? lol

The series is kind of refreshing. There is a good focus on the core cast relationships and their antics together, and there is an actual sense of relationship progress that many series in the genre lack. Not to mention that the series avoids falling in many of the cliches that these series tend to abuse.

Actually this felt a little forced. The manga had so far avoided falling into the 'let's transform into a battle oriented series!!' manga format. It's not necessarily bad, but I wouldn't want for it to fall into the same trap Defense Devil did.

Been slowly following this one for the last year, and Jiro and Kyouko are quite the awesome couple I keep imagining Noboyuki Hiyama doing Jiro's voice though, for no other reason than Jiro reminding me of Viral
Also, the first time I see in manga/anime where the fanclub becomes an important cast of characters in and of themselves instead of simply being background comedic relief

I don't mind if this going to be a battle manga...I read Fujiki's other manga (Gamon) before and the battle in it is pretty cool.
Btw, what do you think about the sister's power ? I mean, did her hair just change to white ? o.o;

Usually when the author gets notice from his editor / editorial department, that their mangas rating is down, they often resort trying to convert it into the generic shounen battle genre

I think this is a wonderful book because it's so highly descriptive and has such amazing details that I can practically see it. My favorite character is Ned, a friendly dog that can communicate telepathically. He's funny, and I find it interesting to see what he's going to say next. I find this a great book because it's packed with suspense. It leaves you on the edge of your seat wondering "Will they solve the riddles? Will they save the village?" Castaways of the Flying Dutchman is my favorite book because of the realistic way it's told, and the friendship, help, and unity the characters show each other.
I recommend this book for anyone who likes riddles, suspense and adventure. I'd also recommend other books by Brian Jacques. P.S. This is my favorite book!

Look, I'm not here to bash Gwyneth Paltrow. There are too many people who do that better than I could. I'm just here to say that when it comes to lifestyle decisions, if I had to choose between Gwyneth or Courteney Cox … I thought I would stick with the design-obsessed Friends star over the princessy GOOP goddess.
They're both established experts with their own lifestyle outlets. Gwyneth has GOOP, a site where she shares recipes, products, etiquette questions, and travel notes. Courteney just joined Jane Pratt (who brought us the magazines Sassy and Jane) as the home editor for xoJane. She also produced a show on the We network, Mix It Up, that tried to create harmony between clashing roommates.
And from what I've seen so far -- as much as it upsets me -- I mesh much better with ice queen Paltrow than with the down-to-earth Cox.
For one thing, Courteney's first post for xoJane featured a $9 drugstore hair dye and her favorite makeup. Um, 'scuse me: what part of the "home" do I use that on? I do not have the Amy Sedaris hair-sample lampshade, so why this is the kickoff for a home-design column is beyond me.
Furthermore, I already know which affordable hair dye I can use in a pinch. This isn't the advice I need from a well-connected celeb; I'd rather she told us how to do a professional dye job at home, which is what I do thanks to a colorist friend who spent an afternoon giving me the greatest and most useful tutorial I've ever gotten.
On the other hand, the beauty tips from GOOP include this $20 "updo kit" from Ricky's (a really fantastic drugstore chain in New York City that I miss terribly!), Epsom salts, Dr. Bronners cheap-o soap, and the same home hot olive-oil treatment my grandma used to give me.
As for actual home tips (as in, once again, Courteney is supposed to be the home editor), Paltrow came through for me again with ideas for home-organization spreadsheets, a funny complaint about getting an error message from her fancy coffee-maker (not relatable, but oddly endearing), green-house tips, some simple crafts and flower-arranging advice, and a pretty detailed step-by-step look at a high-speed renovation she did in Nashville. She manages to make me drool with envy while still including some vaguely affordable tips, which makes the whole thing way more believable than "hi, I used to get a million dollars an episode but I use Nice n Easy," pants on fire.
I'm worried. I really, really want to prefer Courteney. And I know she has design chops -- I adore the Elle Décor layout of her Malibu home, with its vintage bar stools and Harland Miller art. I even appreciated the design tips she snuck into Monica Geller's mouth -- she's right, it is better to fold the end of the packing tape into a triangle!
So I'm hoping that as her advice column grows, it becomes more interesting, more useful, and more ... just more! Come on, Courteney. I'm counting on you!
Who would you rather take style advice from -- Courteney Cox or Gwyneth Paltrow?

Righthaven Fails To Show Up In Court As Ordered... When Confronted Says It Got Confused Over The Date
from the a-study-in-incompetence dept
It's one thing to ignore opposing counsel. It's another to ignore multiple direct court orders, including one to appear in court. But... neither Gibson showed up in court yesterday. Nor did Righthaven's main lawyer: Shawn Mangano. According to Randazza, the judge then called Mangano who claimed that he "thought it was tomorrow" (but did not explain the failure to deliver the required documents).
This is pretty amazing. We've had people in our comments repeatedly asking about the January 5th deadline. If a bunch of our commenters can keep the date straight, can't the lawyer for the company being dragged into court? As I said, Righthaven's ability to do exactly the wrong thing at nearly every opportunity is stunning. And every time we think we can't be surprised any more, something like this happens. This is the most amazing study in incompetence we've ever seen. This is a company that failed to properly secure the copyrights it was suing over, chose not to use the DMCA's takedown procedures, often targeted questionable cases of infringement, sued people over clear fair use situations, used a completely bogus demand for domain names in the lawsuits it filed, has been accused of theunauthorized practice of law in multiple states, failed to list Stephens Media as an interested party as required by Nevada law (for which it was sanctioned), failed to file many documents on time, missed deadlines for certain important filings, failed to pay attorneys' fees owed, lost cases due not just to the failure to secure copyright properly but also to missing deadlines, had an appeal thrown out for failing to follow proper procedure... and, has been sued by their own process server for failure to pay its bills. And now this (and I'm probably missing some stuff!).
The judge has set a new hearing date for Monday, January 9th at 9am. I can't imagine that the Gibsons and Mangano could possibly think they can get away with missing that one, too -- but if you had asked, I never would have believed most of the things that Righthaven has done so far would ever happen in real life.

Immersion Learning Program Receives $2 Million Endowmentby Jim Amidon • April 6, 2007 Share:
Wabash College will use a $2 million matching grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. to create a wide range of off-campus learning opportunities for students attending the private liberal arts college for men.
Two years ago the Endowment — through its Initiative to Strengthen Philanthropy for Indiana Higher Education Institutions — offered Wabash the opportunity to receive up to $2.5 million in matching money if the College generated $2 million in donor gifts. Wabash exceeded its goal through gifts to the 2006 Annual Fund.
"Lilly Endowment's generous matching grant has already helped us expand our donor base and gave a new administration unique financial flexibility," said Wabash President Patrick E. White, who is in his first year as the College's 15th president.
The Endowment's matching funds will be split in two ways. The College will use $2 million to endow Extending the Liberal Arts Classroom programs and $500,000 for strategic planning and campus master planning.
"Both these projects in different ways will enhance the learning experience for students and increase the engagement of faculty, staff, and students in the life of Wabash," said White. "Lilly Endowment's initiative was a significant factor in motivating more alumni to invest in Wabash College, casting a solid foundation on which a future strategic plan and resulting capital campaign may stand."
For almost a decade, Wabash has offered its students cross-cultural immersion learning trips across the United States and around the world. These trips help students and their professors bring to life material studied in the classroom. For example, classics students studying Roman art and architecture will travel to Italy at the end of the spring semester for intense, on-site study of the ancient culture. Most trips, though, take place within the academic calendar over Thanksgiving and Spring Break.
The matching funds from the Endowment will permanently endow further Extending the Liberal Arts Classroom initiatives, and will generate at least $100,000 per year for student and faculty collaborative work. Students are not assessed additional fees for Wabash's immersion learning program.
"The ideal Extending the Liberal Arts Classroom project inspires new ideas and opens students' minds to additional research and travel. Our long-term goal for this initiative is to provide a meaningful experience in another culture for all students. A lack of permanent resources has been a primary obstacle to achieving this goal. The matching grant endowment will support more programs for more students," added White.
White and his administration are in the initial stages of comprehensive strategic planning, campus master planning, and laying the ground work for a capital campaign. Funds from the Endowment's match will be used to engage a wide range of constituents in the planning process.
"The result of our planning process will be a road map for Wabash's leadership of the liberal arts and men's education, a map that will enable Wabash to raise its horizons and expand its influence in American higher education," said White.

Here at the Captain Lord Mansion we are getting ready for our most favorite time of the year: Christmas!
About this time, Kennebunkport starts to buzz with excitement over Christmas Prelude, our town's one-of-a-kind celebration of Christmas spirit.
This link will take you to the official website of Christmas Prelude. But here are some of my suggestions for "not-to-miss" events during this charming time, which runs from December 5th until December 14th.
ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4 FROM 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM: There is a Prelude Champagne Reception at The Nott House, 8 Maine Street. Some of you may remember an earlier posting of mine about the Nott House. This beautiful Victorian mansion, kept true to the period of the time, is just about as nice a place as one can be to start off the Christmas season. Many of our local inns, restaurants and businesses donate goodies to make this event a smash success. But space is limited and spots go fast. I highly recommend you call 207-967-2751 to make a reservation. If you are planning on staying with us at that time, call our front desk – (207) 967-3141 – and we'll make the reservation for you.
ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5 AT 5:30 PM– The tree in Dock Square is lit and the season officially begins. This tree, as seen in the photo at right, is decorated with buoys and is one of the focal pieces of our holiday sparkle. Don't miss this opportunity to do some Christmas caroling with the Kennebunk High School Chamber Singers.
IN CASE YOU MISS THAT TREE LIGHTING: There's another at 7:00 p.m., down in Cape Porpoise, where the Lobster Trap Tree (a tree-shaped pyramid made of lobster traps) will be officially lit in Cape Porpoise Square. More Christmas caroling makes it all the merrier.
ON SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6 AT 6:30 PM– Join us and many others as we revel in Kennebunk and Kennebunkports most awe-inspiring event: Candlelight Caroling hosted by the Franciscan Monastery, which is technical in Kennebunk on Beach Street. During this event, hundreds light candles, lift their voices and sing to the Lord, songs of celebration, of promises and of babies born in mangers. It is often a very emotional event, and one I recommend you attend.
That's enough for now! But can you guess what will be the subject of my next post??
More Prelude!!! Until then…

(N), phosphorus (P), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), bismuth (Bi), and moscovium (Mc). The elements share certain general similarities in chemical behaviour, though they are clearly differentiated from one another chemically, and these similarities reflect common features of the electronic structures of their atoms.
Arsenic was known in the form of certain of its compounds long before it was clearly recognized as a chemical element. In the 4th century bce Aristotle wrote of a substance called sandarache, now believed to have been the mineral realgar, a sulfide of arsenic. Then, in the 1st century ce, the writers Pliny the Elder and Pedanius Dioscorides both described auripigmentum, a substance now thought to have been the dyestuff orpiment, As2S3. By the 11th century ce three species of "arsenic" were recognized: white (As4O6), yellow (As2S3), and red (As4S4). The element itself possibly was first observed in the 13th century by Albertus Magnus, who noted the appearance of a metal-like substance when arsenicum, another name for As2S3, was heated with soap. It is not certain, however, that this natural scientist and scholar actually observed the free element. The first clearly authentic report of the free substance was made in 1649 by Johann Schroeder, a German pharmacist, who prepared arsenic by heating its oxide with charcoal. Later, Nicolas Lémery, a French physician and chemist, observed the formation of arsenic when heating a mixture of the oxide, soap, and potash. By the 18th century, arsenic was well known as a unique semimetal.
Occurrence and distribution
The abundance of arsenic in the Earth's crust is about five grams per ton; the cosmic abundance is estimated as about four atoms per million atoms of silicon. The element is widely distributed. A small amount exists in the native state, in 90–98 percent purity, generally in association with such metals as antimony and silver. Most, however, is combined in more than 150 different minerals, as sulfides, arsenides, sulfoarsenides, and arsenites. Mispickel, or arsenopyrite, FeAsS, is among the most common of arsenic-bearing minerals; others are realgar, As4S4; orpiment, As2S3; loellingite, FeAs2; and enargite, Cu3AsS4. Arsenic oxide is also common. Most commercial arsenic is recovered as a by-product of the smelting of copper, lead, cobalt, and gold ores.
Only one stable isotope of arsenic, that of mass 75, occurs in nature. Among the artificial radioactive isotopes is one of mass 76, which has a half-life of 26.4 hours. Arsenic-72, -74, and -76 have been used in medical diagnostic procedures.
Commercial production and uses
Metallic arsenic forms when arsenopyrite is heated at 650–700 °C in the absence of air. The arsenic in arsenopyrite and the arsenic impurities in other metal ores unite readily with oxygen when heated in air, forming the easily sublimed oxide, As4O6, also known as "white arsenic." The vapour of the oxide is collected and condensed in a series of brick chambers and later purified by resublimation. Most arsenic is prepared by carbon reduction of the arsenious oxide dust thus collected.
World consumption of metallic arsenic is relatively small, only a few hundred tons per year. Most of what is consumed comes from Sweden. It is used in metallurgical applications because of its metalloid properties. About one percent arsenic content is desirable in the manufacture of lead shot, for example, because it improves the roundness of the molten drops. Bearing alloys based on lead are improved in both thermal and mechanical properties when they contain about 3 percent arsenic. A small amount of arsenic in lead alloys hardens them for use in batteries and cable sheathing. Small concentrations of arsenic improve the corrosion resistance and thermal properties of copper and brass. Elemental arsenic is also used in bronzing and in pyrotechnics.Very highly purified arsenic finds applications in semiconductor technology, where it is used with silicon and germanium, as well as in the form of gallium arsenide, GaAs, for diodes, lasers, and transistors.
Because arsenic has a range of oxidation states from -3 to +5, it can form a variety of different kinds of compounds. Among the most important commercial compounds are the oxides, the principal forms of which are arsenious oxide (As4O6) and arsenic pentoxide (As2O5). Arsenious oxide, commonly known as white arsenic, is obtained as a by-product from the roasting of the ores of copper, lead, and certain other metals as well as by the roasting of arsenopyrite and arsenic sulfide ores. Arsenious oxide provides the starting material for most other arsenic compounds. It is also utilized in pesticides and serves as a decolourizer in the manufacture of glass and as a preservative for hides. Arsenic pentoxide is formed by the action of an oxidizing agent (e.g., nitric acid) on arsenious oxide. It comprises a major ingredient of insecticides, herbicides, and metal adhesives.
Arsine (AsH3), a colourless poisonous gas composed of arsenic and hydrogen, is another familiar arsenic compound. The gas, also called arsenic hydride, is produced by the hydrolysis of metal arsenides and by the reduction by metals of arsenic compounds in acidic solutions. It has been used as a doping agent for semi-conductors and as a military poison gas. Arsenic compounds of particular importance in agriculture are arsenic acid (H3AsO4) and such salts as lead arsenate (PbHAsO4) and calcium arsenate [Ca3(AsO4)2], which are useful for sterilizing soils and controlling pests, respectively.
Arsenic also forms numerous organic compounds, as for example tetramethyl diarsine, (CH3)2As―As(CH3)2, used in preparing the common desiccant cacodylic acid. Several complex organic compounds of arsenic have been employed in the treatment of certain diseases, such as amebic dysentery, caused by microorganisms.
Properties and reactions
In its most stable elemental state, arsenic is a steel-gray, brittle solid with low thermal and electrical conductivity. Although some forms of elemental arsenic are metal-like, the element is best classified as a nonmetal. Other forms have been reported but are not well characterized, including especially a yellow, metastable form, which may consist of As4 molecules analogous to white phosphorus, P4. Arsenic sublimes at 613 °C, and in the vapour it exists as As4 molecules, which do not begin to dissociate until about 800 °C; dissociation to As2 molecules becomes complete at about 1,700 °C.
The electronic structure of the arsenic atom, 1s22s22p63s23p63d104s24p3, resembles those of nitrogen and phosphorus in that there are five electrons in the outermost shell, but it differs from them in having 18 electrons in the penultimate shell instead of two or eight. The addition of ten positive charges to the nucleus during the filling of the five 3d orbitals frequently causes a general contraction of the electronic cloud and a concomitant increase in electronegativity of the elements. In other groups of the periodic table this is clearly shown. Thus, it seems generally accepted that zinc is more electronegative than magnesium and, similarly, that gallium is more electronegative than aluminum. The difference diminishes, however, in the next groups, and many authorities do not agree that germanium is more electronegative than silicon, although an abundance of chemical evidence appears to indicate that this is so. The similar transition from penultimate 8-shell to 18-shell element in passing from phosphorus to arsenic might also produce an increase in the electronegativity of arsenic over phosphorus, but this remains controversial.
The outer-shell similarity of the two elements suggests that arsenic, like phosphorus, can form three covalent bonds per atom, with an additional lone pair of electrons left unbonded. The oxidation state of arsenic should, therefore, be either +3 or −3 depending on the relative electronegativity values of arsenic and the elements with which it is combined. The possibility should also exist of utilizing the outer d orbitals to expand the octet, thereby allowing arsenic to form five bonds. This possibility is realized only in compounds with fluorine. The availability of the lone pair for complex formation (through electron donation) appears much less in the arsenic atom than in phosphorus and nitrogen, as evidenced by the chemistry of the element.
Arsenic itself is stable in dry air, but in moist air it tends to become coated with a black oxide. Sublimed arsenic vapour readily burns in air to form arsenious oxide. The free element is essentially unaffected by water, bases, or nonoxidizing acids, but it can be oxidized by nitric acid to the +5 state. Halogens attack arsenic, as does sulfur, and the element will combine directly with many metals forming arsenides.
Analytical chemistry
Qualitatively, arsenic may be detected by precipitation as the yellow arsenious sulfide from hydrochloric acid of 25 percent or greater concentration. Trace amounts of arsenic are usually determined by conversion to arsine. The latter can be detected by the so-called Marsh test, in which arsine is thermally decomposed, forming a black arsenic mirror inside a narrow tube, or by the Gutzeit method, in which a test paper impregnated with mercuric chloride darkens when exposed to arsine because of the formation of free mercury.
Biological and physiological significance
The toxicity of arsenic and its compounds varies widely, ranging from the exceedingly poisonous arsine and its organic derivatives (see arsenic poisoning) to elemental arsenic itself, which is relatively inert. Arsenical compounds in general are skin irritants, which easily cause dermatitis. Protection against inhalation of arsenic-containing dusts is recommended, but most poisoning appears to come from ingestion. The maximum tolerable concentration of arsenic in dusts during an eight-hour day is 0.5 milligrams per cubic metre. For arsine, exposure of similar duration requires that the concentration be less than 0.05 parts per million in the air. In addition to the many uses of arsenic compounds as herbicides and pesticides, they have in several instances been employed as pharmacological agents. The first successful antisyphilitic agent, for example, was an arsenic compound, "Salvarsan," or "606," or 3,3′-diamino-4,4′-dihydroxyarsenobenzene dihydrochloride.

Junction, the county seat of Kimble County, is located at the intersection of Highways 83/377 and Intersate 10. It is named for its location at the confluence of the North and South Llano rivers. Junction was founded in the spring of 1876 following the organization of Kimble County in January of that year. It was originally named "Denman" after its surveyor, but became "Junction City" in 1877 and then simply "Junction" in 1894. Junction City won the role of county seat from Kimbleville in late 1876, after the first county court session. Kimbleville was an unsuccessful settlement probably because it was subject to floods.

1. Re: 3D data parsing error issue with Reader 9.3Steve Small Jan 25, 2010 3:19 PM (in response to megakalmar)
I know this doesn't really address the problem, but I found a workaround for this file, though it only works if you are using Acrobat Professional Extended.
In Acrobat Professional Extended, if I right click on the active 3D annotation in APEX and select "Edit in 3D Reviewer..." from the context menu, the model is displayed in the 3D Reviewer. I can then go to File > Export... and export a PDF that then shows a model. That PDF opened in the Reader wihtout issue. I don't know if there is anything missing from the model at this point, but it appears to work. Workarounds aren't great, but they're better than no workaround.
Hope this helps.
2. Re: 3D data parsing error issue with Reader 9.3megakalmar Jan 30, 2010 1:39 AM (in response to Steve Small)
Thanks for reply but it does not solve the issue. I haven't any Adobe Professional Ext. license. I am curious if you were able to duplicate the problem with Reader and I'd like to check your fixed 3D file in Reader on my machine. If this really helps I will try to use this workaround until the issue will be solved in Reader.
Could you please send me back the file?
3. Re: 3D data parsing error issue with Reader 9.3Steve Small Jan 30, 2010 10:46 AM (in response to megakalmar)
I believe the attached file is the fixed file. This file is working for me in Reader 9.3 now. I experienced the same problem with your original file. Then I used your file to perform the steps I outlined earlier. I know this is not a great workaround.

My first post, i work in technical support and i have run in to this problem 2 times.
The problem files did open in another computers with same setup(I work in a really big company where the machines are basically the same).
Reinstalling adobe reader did not help, registry cleaning and reinstalling did not help,the problem was solved by installing Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 which opened the file.
Well this not very good solution so I was thinking that maybe there would be a better way, like actually fixing the problem, and this
was the only post i could find about this issue which made any sense.
Unfortunately I dont have the problem file anymore, so this is bascially just me saying that there are others as well with this problem.

I have had similar problems using Microstation. I am using Microstation version 08.11.07.171.
When creating the 3D PDF file from within Microstation using the print function, go to the 3D plotting settings and deslect "Convert wireframe geometry" and Convert annotations".
Once I deslected those two options, then recreated the 3D PDF files I was able to open them with the data parsing error.
Hopefully this will help for you too.
6. Re: 3D data parsing error issue with Reader 9.3megakalmar Feb 23, 2010 12:47 AM (in response to Boston_Kiwi)
Thank you Boston-Kiwi. It works! I tested printing to PDF (3D) also with ProjectWise Navigator V8i (08.11.07.171) and new 3D PDFs can be opened in Adobe Reader 9.3. correctly with all 3D features and model tree navigation.
Unfortunatley the old files still can't be reviwed in the new Reader, but now it is minor issue.

Hey thanks for the heads up Boston Kiwi
I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard, and this problem occured after updating to 9.3.1.. I purchased a registry cleaner to no avail, as that was a suggested solution I'd come accross..
So I call adobe... They insist that Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard does not support the 3D feature. And no support is provided for the reader whatsoever. Adobe support suggested I uninstall/reinstall the software. I did this, and was able to open the Microstation generated 3D PDF file.. UNTIL (the idiot I am) I ran the update... upon which the error returned.
Adobe still says that the Standard addition does not support 3D.. So their solution is A. Buy Proffesional, B: DO NOT INSTALL UPDATE... So I have mailed out IT dept, and informed them to get the info out ton NOT do the 93.1 update!! Kind of a sorry response from Adobe in my opinion..
So.. I came accross your suggestion here, wit hcahnging the print settings in Microstation... and it worked for me too happily.. I guess now I should direct my frustration at Bentley instead of Adobe..lol
Thanks Mate..
9. Re: 3D data parsing error issue with Reader 9.3Steve Small Mar 11, 2010 7:30 AM (in response to HansHoe69)
Well of course Standard and Reader both support viewing 3D PDFs. This includes, but isn't limited to, rotating, sooming, panning, viewing the Model Tree, and, if the PDF's permissions allow, commenting. Adobe support must have meant that Standard and Reader don't support conversion of 3D models.
10. Re: 3D data parsing error issue with Reader 9.3phantom agent Mar 16, 2010 9:31 PM (in response to Boston_Kiwi)
Thanks Boston Kiwi - any 3Dpdf we create now using your setting, can be viewed with 9.3 with out error message. But because of the problem with 9.3 the thousands of existing archived 3D pdf that we have already created cannot be viewed on the standard desk top throughout the organisation.
11. Re: 3D data parsing error issue with Reader 9.3kgator0412 Mar 17, 2010 11:03 AM (in response to megakalmar)
We are also seeing this error in a PDF we received from a vendor. If I install Adobe 9, 9.1, 9.1.2, 9.1.3 or 9.2 it opens without any problems. but once you upgrade to 9.3 or 9.3.1 you get the 3D data parsing error has occued in Acrobat 9 Pro. Adobe needs to do a update without breaking something else. It's seem pretty standard for them to create an update to fix something and then break something else.
12. Re: 3D data parsing error issue with Reader 9.3HansHoe69 Mar 18, 2010 1:21 AM (in response to kgator0412)
Hello again,
We have similar problem to Phantom, and we too have previously generated PDF's that are not useable du e to this error.. My wrath again lies with Adobe... Whom obviously do not want to concede that the problem lies with them. Any other software provider would have acknowledged a problem, and the first response one should see when searching adobe's forum is something along the lines of...
We are aware of an issue in our latest update that is causing users to experience a 3D data parsing error issue with Reader 9.3. We are workin g ot resolve this issue... bla bla bla.
Instead of telling me it is my problem and the solution is to purchase Adobe Professional!!!
Thanks for your response too Kgator. You state that your problem is also prevalent in Pro too? Hehe.. that was Adobe Supports solution to the problem.. They recommended that I upgrade from standard to Pro..LOL
So BEST current solution to this problem is using a version of Acrobat previous to 9.3.1!!
13. Re: 3D data parsing error issue with Reader 9.3megakalmar Mar 18, 2010 3:18 AM (in response to HansHoe69)
Hello everybody,
Yes it works with the older versions, but once you install or upgrade to 9.3 you are in trouble. Reinstall of older versions, 9.3 uninstallation doesn't help. AR 9.3 corrupt all installations - I tested this wit AR7,8, 9.1-2 on XP, Vista.
My advise is dont upgrade/instal 9.3 until Adobe will fix the bug.

What if I'm not trying to create a 3D PDF? I'm having trouble with getting swf and fla/flv files to play in PDFs, under all circumstances. On my Windows machine, it works flawlessly. On my Linux machine, I get a 3D data parsing error every time I click any media type (audio, video, Flash) to launch it. I know why legacy/Windows formats don't work. But I don't know why Flash wouldn't work, since it's Adobe.

I'm having problems getting swf files to play in PDFs on my Linux Red Hat 6.0 machine. I get "Adobe Reader - A 3D data parsing error has occurred" then a black screen. I'm creating them with Adobe Captivate 188.8.131.526 and Acrobat Pro 9.5. They work fine in Windows XP/7. Acrobat Reader versions on XP/7 and Linux RH6 machines are 9.4.7.
I was really hoping Acrobat PDF files would work the same across our different OS platforms.
Any ideas on whats going on here or how to fix?

I too am aware of people running Linux OS getting this error with PDF files I create from Adobe Captivate. I do hope someone has a solution to this that they can share.
17. Re: 3D data parsing error issue with Reader 9.3A. Grahn Apr 11, 2013 11:48 PM (in response to Pam Leatch)
Instead of updating the FlashPlayer plugin used in Linux Adobe Reader 9 to FlashPlayer 10, as it was done with the version 9 Readers on Windows and OSX quite a while ago, Adobe preferred to disable Flash alltogether, mainly due to security reasons of FlashPlayer 9. (This is the reason why you get the 3D parsing error when you try to activate Flash content.)
After all, it seems that they even let Adobe Reader die on the Linux platform. Sad story.
