"Sessions--Part One: Angel"

TITLE: Sessions

AUTHOR: Ragna (Obsessive-Compulsive Spike)

DISTRIBUTION: Sure, just keep my name on it and let me know.

ARCHIVED AT: Welcome to Hellmouth Fan-Fiction

DISCLAIMER: I own only the plot and the characters not on BtVS. Everything else is Joss Whedon's and Mutant Enemy's.

FEEDBACK: Y'all know I thrive on it!

AUTHOR'S NOTES: I'll write out the story in parts. Each one will be narrated by the four characters: Angel, Buffy, Spike & Dru. In that order. Here's Angel's part.

"Damn her."

"Excuse me?"

"I said, damn her. For everything she's done."

"The damn Slayer. And damn him, too."

"Oh." There was a pause. "Why?" The question caught the vampires attention, and held it.

"You sure you want to know?"

The human nodded. "Tell me your story."

"Well, it all began the day he came to town..."

We'd been together, a couple. And then... He had Dru. Why'd he want her? She was mine, all mine. Her beautiful warmth, her sharp wit, her lovely body...all mine. But he wanted it. I could tell, being his sire and all.

When I lost my soul, he saw his chance. He made a pact with her. And she agreed. She later reasoned it was for my own good. I was trying to suck the world into Hell at the time. And he wanted Dru, who I had conveniently taken from him. If I hadn't done that, she'd still be mine.

But, I digress. Anyways, it was then that he showed he could walk. And he went away with Dru, I went to Hell, and she ran away. And...and then, each of us started coming back. First her, then me, then him, and finally Dru. When Dru came back, she was back to manipulating him, and I think it finally got through his thick skull. Around the same time, I decided it was better to leave Sunnydale, and leave her. Biggest mistake of my life.

I know there's a quote, one that perfectly describes they way they were towards each other. It's from Practical Magic...though nothing was practical about this situation. Now, how did it go? Oh, yes. I remember. "The moon is always jealous of the heat of the day, just as the sun always longs for something dark and deep." And he was jealous of her, but he loved her. And she wanted something dark.

She wanted him.

Part Two--Buffy

Rumic World & Rumic Theater

by Shaenon K. Garrity,

Rumic World/Rumic Theater

When I think of the comics that floored me as an impressionable young nerd, the ones that got me obsessed with what this mongrel art form can do, I think of a lot of the acknowledged heavy hitters.  Maus.  Understanding Comics.  Phoenix.  The works of Lynda Barry and Moto Hagio.  But there are also the outliers, the wild cards, the odd little comics that happened to hit me at just the right time.

So I remember the first time I read Rumiko Takahashi's short story “The Tragedy of P,” a feather-light comedy about a family in a no-pets apartment that takes in a tame penguin.  Anyone who's read Takahashi's manga—and who in the manga-reading world hasn't?—knows what to expect from this setup: wacky hijinks with cute animals, and possibly also kids.  And that's exactly what happens.  But midway through the story, the mother of the family takes the penguin out for a walk at night and ruminates on the cruelty of keeping an animal cooped up in a tiny apartment, even out of love.  “The sky, the stars, the wind and the light are yours,” she thinks as the penguin gazes up into the infinite night.  “They are not ours to give you.  Or to take away.”  With that two-page spread I realized that even a silly comic-book sitcom could strive for beauty, and something about the way I did comics changed forever.

I read “The Tragedy of P” in Issue #1 of Manga Vizion, the first of many manga anthology magazines published by Viz, which ran from 1995 to 1999.  Through most of its run, Manga Vizion continued to publish Takahashi's short manga, which Viz then reprinted in paperback collections under the title Rumic World and, later, Rumic Theater.  Takahashi still draws short comics every once in a while, and her publisher, Shogakukan, prints them in whichever of its magazines seems most appropriate.  Publishers know they can count on Takahashi for solid, crowd-pleasing genre entertainment.  And, every once in a while, for magic.

The Rumic World and Rumic Theater collections, now all long out of print, are lots of fun.  Although Takahashi's work seldom strays too far outside a certain range of upbeat, anime-ready charm (many of the Rumic stories have been adapted into animation), her short pieces show off what turns out to be an impressive range of storytelling skill.  She tackles science-fiction, fantasy, horror, comedy, sports, and little dramas of contemporary life.

Some of the stories tread the same ground as Takahashi's longer, better-known series.  “Maris the Chojo,” a rollicking comedy starring a super-strong, bikini-clad space mercenary and her nine-tailed alien fox sidekick, bears a strong resemblance to Urusei Yatsura, which had launched two years earlier.  The superb time-travel romance Fire Tripper, in which a high-school girl finds herself in feudal Japan with a surly young warrior to protect her, shares elements with the much-later Inuyasha.  “Excuse Me for Being a Dog!”, about a teen martial artist who transforms into a dog when his nose bleeds, reads like a dry run for Ranma 1/2, and would even if the female lead didn't look and act exactly like Ranma's OTP, Akane Tendo.

But some of the strongest Rumic stories are the non-supernatural (or maybe just slightly supernatural) dramas.  In addition to “The Tragedy of P,” which will forever hold a special place in my heart, the standouts include “The Merchant of Romance,” about the travails of a young divorcée operating a run-down wedding chapel, and “To Grandmother's House We Go,” in which a woman and her boyfriend plot to falsely claim a deceased friend's inheritance (the rightful heirs are murderous jerks, though, so it's totally okay).  Takahashi is also surprisingly good at horror, in spite of her cheery art style.  “The Laughing Target,” one of her early stories, is an effectively creepy tale about a beautiful girl who sends swarms of ravenous…things…to devour those who cross her.

Some of the stories feel like pilots for series that never happened.  Takahashi seems to be a bottomless font of high-concept premises that may or may not be capable of supporting an ongoing comic.  I'd read a continuing series about the struggling wedding chapel, but I'm not sure I'd be able to maintain interest in, say, a yam-gardening youth leader's ideological battle with a bodhisattva (“Shake Your Buddha,” one of many cases where the Viz translation team took merry license with the Japanese title).  Ah, but what about a telekinetic old woman who rides through the skies on a flying crutch (“One Hundred Years of Love”)?  A dead kendo coach who possesses a teenage girl so he can continue to train his star swordsman (“One or Double”)?  A rugby team with a ghost cheerleader (“Winged Victory”)?  These concepts may sound far-fetched, but are they any weirder than a lightning-powered alien demon girl, a time traveler teaming up with a dog demon, or a martial artist who changes sex when s/he gets wet?  Maybe, but not by much.  You can never predict where the next hit will come from, and in her early days Takahashi chose to throw everything at the wall until something stuck.

Yet the stories aren't slapdash; even the earliest entries are polished, confident, and well-plotted, the characters sketched into place with sure strokes.  Takahashi studied manga through the Gekiga Sonjuku, a program started by Lone Wolf and Cub creator Kazuo Koike in the 1970s, which focuses on building character-driven plots.  “If you have a strong character,” Koike told Carl Gustav Horn in a 2006 interview for Dark Horse, “the storyline will develop naturally, on its own. The storyline then follows in the character's wake, and swirls around the character, influencing the character further...Strong manga can only be made when you create a strong character.”  Takahashi's work seems a million miles away from Koike's ultra-macho seinen thrillers (though I'd love to see any Takahashi character quote Wounded Man: “Blood got in my eyes and I can't see a damn thing!  Piss on me so that I can wash it off!”), but she took his advice To Heart.  Every Takahashi story is propelled by its characters.

That's what struck me, reading “The Tragedy of P” years ago.  A lesser cartoonist, writing a silly situation comedy, would focus on the situation.  A better artist steps back to consider the people in that situation, their thoughts and feelings.  To see the woman kneeling in the gutter, and the penguin looking at the stars.

Freedom to Think and Speak

One of the things I appreciate every day is my freedom to think and speak. I might not always be able to do exactly what I want. But I can always open my mind and share my words. This is a precious gift. Not everyone can do the same.

When I started to make connections with my Guides I said very little to anyone else. But I was thinking all the time. Even if most of what I was thinking was doubt and disbelief. Over time I talked to other people who were on a similar journey to me. I was finding the freedom to talk about what was inside my head because there were others who would listen. I am grateful that I got the space to say what was in my mind. Both to my Guides and to those people who were willing to help me work it all out. Something I watched on TV last night reminded me that not everyone is so fortunate. Every day children are told what to think and say by the adults around them. Sometimes what they are told is all about hate.

How do I know the world is anything other than what I have been told? Because I have the freedom to think about it. I can use my voice to question and discover more about what I understand. But I also remember how much I had to challenge in my upbringing to decide what I now believe in. Where children are schooled in fear, taught to hate ‘the other’ there is a real danger that they will never question what they have been told. Especially if their access to other information is limited. Or non-existent. That is why I believe that I have to encourage freedom of thought and word as much as possible. Even if I don’t like or share the thoughts and words of someone else.

Like mindedness is lovely. But surrounding myself with too much of the same thinking as me is dangerous. In the end it can narrow my viewpoint so much I become closed to new ideas.

To enjoy my freedom of thinking I have to embrace listening to those who don’t think like me. Even if I find what they say is really objectionable. I have to let them share their voice. So I can think about my response. And check in that my beliefs are still the way I want to move forward. As a child I believed in one religion. As an adult I have explored many religions. And at this point I have no orthadox religion. But out of that thinking has come spirituality. A set of principles I can live by. And the freedom to discuss what I believe in with confidence. I would like all children to be able to have freedom of thought. Really have a choice in their adult lives. But that seems a long way off.

Children are still being taught to hate and fear from within religions. The emphasis is not on living a good life but in living a life dictated by a set of rules men have designed. Yet the inspiration for those religions is the love we can all share for each other. That is what I would encourage everyone to be thinking about. To be discussing. And to be embracing. I know we can live peaceably with one another. It’s not such a great stretch. If we allow freedom of thought and speech, have the discussions and, if necessary, agree to differ. I believe in love and let love. To do that I feel we need to free our minds and think more deeply. I know we have the freedom to do that if we choose.

ANTI To Release Rango Soundtrack

Anti-Records is thrilled to be releasing the soundtrack for the new Paramount Pictures / Nickelodeon Movies feature film RANGO.

value="">> src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"> href="">Los Lobos - Rango Theme Song

From Gore Verbinski, the director of "The Pirates of the Caribbean," comes RANGO, featuring Johnny Depp in an original animated comedy-adventure that takes moviegoers for a hilarious and heartfelt walk in the Wild West. The story follows the comical, transformative journey of Rango (Depp), a sheltered chameleon living as an ordinary family pet, while facing a major identity crisis. After all, how high can you aim when your whole purpose in life is to blend in? When Rango accidentally winds up in the gritty, gun-slinging town of Dirt - a lawless outpost populated by the desert's most wily and whimsical creatures - the less-than-courageous lizard suddenly finds he stands out. Welcomed as the last hope the town has been waiting for, new Sheriff Rango is forced to play his new role to the hilt . . . until, in a blaze of action-packed situations and encounters with outrageous characters, Rango starts to become the hero he once only pretended to be. With a cast that includes Depp, Isla Fisher, Abigail Breslin, Alfred Molina, Bill Nighy, Harry Dean Stanton, Ray Winstone and Timothy Olyphant as the Spirit of the West, Rango is an exciting new twist on the classic Western legend of the outsider who saves a town - and himself in the process.

The soundtrack combines a soaring score from best-selling Academy AwardÂ® -winning composer Hans Zimmer ("The Dark Knight," "Inception," "Pirates of the Caribbean") with original songs performed by the acclaimed band Los Lobos and other artists. With driving NorteÃ±o melodies mixing with Western-inspired orchestral themes, RANGO is a soundtrack for both kids and adults alike.

A Blind Wink and GK Films Production, RANGO hits theaters nationwide on March 4th. The soundtrack will be released digitally March 1st and available in stores March 15th.

Joe Henry to Release 'Blood From Stars' August 18

Renaissance Man Eschews Decorum to Reveal More Vital, Raw and Dark 11th Album

Joe Henry's new record Blood From Stars begins with a poignant and haunting piano prelude before launching into "The Man I Keep Hid," a raw, bluesy track undercut with a ghostly voice of a man rambling on before Henry comes in with the first line "nobody knows the man that I keep hid." An apt beginning for Henry's eleventh full-length record, for Blood From Stars reveals a side of Henry rarely glimpsed in his recent work, which has been notable in its suave urbanity, poetic lyricism and literary sensibility. Rather, the new work is a passionate and direct breakthrough from one of today's most acclaimed singer songwriters.

"It's more emotionally available, certainly less mannered," says Henry, speaking of the difference between Blood From Stars and his 2007 release Civilians. "It's much more electric, in the literal and also the emotional sense of the word. It is raw, with many loose threads hanging."

Backed by a handpicked collection of players, including Marc Ribot (Tom Waits, Elvis Costello) who worked with Henry on his 2001 release Scar and acclaimed jazz pianist Jason Moran, Henry crafted Blood From Stars with a clear idea of structure, but also with a refreshingly open and fluid approach to the outcome of the songs, creating a loose, swinging, vital sound.

"Partly, I just loved what happened when this particular group of musicians heard a song and had to respond to it in a very immediate way," Henry explained. "I can always go back to what I thought [the song should sound like], but if you limit them to your own imagination, then you're just cutting yourself off from the richest resource you have."

Henry has spent the better part of the last decade in a recording studio, lending his considerable talents and tastes to producing records from the likes of Solomon Burke (who's Henry-produced Don't Give Up on Me won a Grammy for the Best Contemporary Blues album of 2002), Bettye LaVette, and many others.

"When I find the production work to be satisfying, it really does fuel more work. I tell my wife, 'the more I work, the more I work.' It keeps the engine idling all the time. I used to see producing and my work as an artist to be separate enterprises but the more I've continued, I start to see less and less distinction between what I do for myself and what I do for other people. In both cases my job is to make something meaningful come out of a pair of speakers."

Two recent releases Henry produced, Allen Toussaint's the Bright Mississippi and Ramblin' Jack Elliott's A Stranger Here, find the venerable artists exploring classic blues songs. With his work as a producer and a songwriter overlapping and informing one another, it is only natural that the blues found their way onto Henry's Blood From Stars.

"I was playing with a writing form...a blues structure, in the same way that you might sit down and try to write a sonnet or a haiku. I was intrigued by how structured and how simple those ideas of, say, a pair of repeating lines answered by a refrain can be," Henry says and continues, "I've been reading a lot of poets lately, and lot of diverse poetry very consciously references a blues tonality, whether its Langston Hughes or Allen Ginsberg or e.e. cummings. Poets are very aware of the power of that structure."

Ultimately, Blood From Stars is a departure from the expected sound of a Joe Henry record, and its author seems perfectly at ease with his new persona. "If it's standing up, declaring itself as living thing, I'm completely enthralled by it. My ego has no problem with not controlling the process," he paused, then continued with a laugh, "as long as it makes me look good in the end."

Track listing for Blood From Stars: Prelude: Light No Lamp When The Sun Comes Down The Man I Keep Hid Channel This Is My Favorite Cage Death To The Storm All Blues Hail Mary Bellwether Progress of Love (Dark Ground) Over Her Shoulder Suit On A Frame Truce Stars Coda: Light No Lamp When The Sun Comes Down

Spin Premieres New Dr.Dog Video For "Lonesome" is premiering a brand new Dr. Dog video for the band's song "Lonesome." The rollicking track is from the group's latest album Be The Void which Esquire Magazine recently described as "a glorious rally cry, like a band finally finding itself."

The imaginative clip delivers a joyful and unpredictable scenario involving kidnapping, dancing and defilement. It was created by renowned director George Salisbury who has worked with such artists as The Flaming Lips (Christmas On Mars, Watching The Planets, Stardeath and White Dwarfs - Borderline).

To watch the video for Dr. Dog's "Lonesome," visit here:">

Be The Void combines the group's meticulously crafted pop with a far leaner and meaner sound which perfectly captures the rough and tumble energy of their renowned live show. The Philadelphia band entered the studio with a renewed sense of enthusiasm and confidence. "It was reminiscent of when we were starting out and were these fearless weirdoes in a basement, so confident and reckless and bold," guitarist-vocalist Scott McMicken adds. "It was really liberating."

With its infectious beats, spirited choruses and guitars edged with warm distortion this is the unmistakable sound of a band whose moment has arrived. Catch Dr. Dog as they continue to take their raucous sound across North America.

Dr. Dog Live dates:

May 04 Beale Street Music Festival Memphis, TN May 18 Hangout Festival Gulf Shores, AL Jun 14 Frendly Gathering Windham, VT Jun 23 Red Rocks Amphitheater (with Wilco) Morrison, CO Jul 14 Forecastle Festival Louisville, KY Jul 21 Susquehanna Bank Center (with Wilco and Avett Brothers) Camden, NJ Jul 27 SoundTown Music & Camping Festival Somerset, WI Aug 03 Lollapalooza Chicago, IL Aug 10 Outside Lands Festival San Francisco, CA Aug 26 LouFest St Louis, MO Sep 15 Bristol Rhythm and Roots Festival Bristol, TN Sep 20 Rumsey Playfield in Central Park NY, NY

    Unhappy question for download SuSE linux 8.0

    I want to download SuSE 8.0 from a ftp website, but I don't know what files do I need! is i386 folder enough? there are also folders: axp, ia64, noarch, ppc, ppc64, s390, sparc, cparc64, x86-64 and SuSEFax_Win32. files: find, ls-lR, and README.mirror-policy.

    what do I need! I am runing SuSE 7.2 on my computer! I want update it to 8.0. what files and folder do I need?

    if I want to install a complete new SuSE 8.0. what files and folder do I need? thanks

    You have also got the i386 version which I believe you have to install straight off of the FTP site or over a network connection, in other words you cannot make an installable CD from it. This will work on an x86 processor (such as a normal Intel or AMD type). Here is the link if you want the instructions for installing this one
    You will only need the i386 folder if you have an Intel or AMD processor, if you have got a different processor you will have to start looking at the others.

    You also have got the 'Live Evaluation Version' , which runs off of the CD's and will not install on the hard drive.

    Then you have the PPC version which is for a different processor that I am not even going to pretend to know about

    If you want to be able to install from CD you will have to buy the disks from the site as far as I know

    hope this is of some help

Help with bricked Q2
Wow, 6 months down the track and here I am again.

Okay so long story short. Today I was using my mp3 at work and realised that the internal clock has stopped working. As in it stopped ticking, no matter what I did to try and fix it, ie. reset the time or plug it into my computer, it didn't work.

Then I try the pressing the reset button and..... now its bricked.

Also before I pressed the reset button, I plugged it into the computer and it was still working.

I have tried using the recovery tool stickied on these forums but that is getting nowhere, because I tried pressing the user button and then the reset button accordingly, but nothing.

Please I need urgent help :(

lebellium 11-04-2012 03:56 PM

What do you mean by "bricked"? Does it turn on and freeze on the bootloader screen or doesn't it power on at all?

Are you sure you really press the reset hole while still holding the user button? Really nothing happens?

If the recovery tool doesn't work, unfortunately I don't see any other solution.

I guess it's the first time I read about a RTC (Real Time Clock) error on the Q2 but I know that when it occurs on other Samsung DAPs, there isn't much to do unfortunately. It's an hardware issue that can't be fixed with a recovery tool and I fear you may be in this situation.

ryatwo 11-04-2012 11:32 PM

Thank you for much for replying. By bricked, I mean that it is unable to power on at all after I pressed the reset button. Beforehand, everything else about the player was functioning as normal aside from the RTC. For example, I plugged it in to my PC and it would still charge, songs and video would still play, etc.

Now after pressing the reset button, nothing functions, it would not even power on or have my PC detect any external device.

I also do not receive any response after plugging it into my PC and holding the user button and then pressing the reset button, and releasing them accordingly.

Maybe it's only a language misunderstanding as I'm not an english native speaker but why "release them"? As for the reset hole there is nothing such as hold or release it. You just press it once normally.

You have to press and hold the user button, then press the reset hole once, then release the user button.

If still nothing happens, as I already said, there is nothing to do. Your Q2 is most likely dead. You can still disassemble it and disconnect and reconnect the battery following my tutorial here but I don't think that would change anything.

Hi, sorry for the delay but I just tried opening my mp3 just fiddling around with stuff and I got a response!!!

My mp3 is finally working now but there is one thing, I can't get the screen to turn on? Everything as far as I am aware of is functioning, my PC is recognizing it, I am able to listen to the music, etc.

Is it possible that I split a cable that connected the LCD to the circuit whilst opening it?

Please respond, I am almost there!

EDIT: FYI lebellium, if I do get a response from you. I think I accidentally flipped the LCD tab that is attached to the screen. It flipped forward, but I put it back to its original position. But still no response from the screen.

lebellium 11-20-2012 01:57 PM

I remember I also had a problem with the screen or the touchpad no longer working after disassembling and reassembling it but I don't remember what I did to get it work again. I know that was quite tricky but that's it.... Unfortunately I did not write that in the disassembly guide when I wrote it :(

Oh I found chat logs about my issue. The problem was different than yours:

hm the Q2 touchpad is working but as soon as I close the player it doesn't work [...] There is a conflict with the screen. As soon as the screen is connected, the touchpad doesn't work anymore.
So....I don't really have ideas for your issue :(

Spy Cameras Explored: 15 Of The Most Effective Camera Designs Available

Author : Rose Li

When folks hear the term spy, what goes on in their minds are hard, untrustworthy, and covert actions done under the noses of folks without cautioning anyone of their presence and actions. In a way, spy cameras are largely just like that you and your movements can be viewed, monitored and even recorded without you knowing about it!

These spy camera devices are so favored at this time due to great drops in price-tags and the plethora of wholesalers out in the market. As a reseller, you can cash in with this trend and rake in a huge profit selling spy cameras online or in a physical store. And you can start by familiarizing yourself with some of the trickiest spy cameras available that your potential clients can buy and use.

The Trickiest Spy Camera Types

Spy cameras come in all sorts of sizes, shapes and features. What makes a spy camera effective is on how they can be simply concealed from view and detection by folk, or how they can deceive people into thinking or even suspecting that a particular object has a hidden spy camera beneath.

* Camouflaged Spy Cameras

The difficult thing about disguised spy cameras is that people would think them as normal objects at office or home, particularly if they can still function precisely as the object they should portray. Clocks, radios, smoke detectors, speakers, air filters, lamps, pens, lighters, shades, the list grows and each one can be used under the noses of folks without them ever suspecting a spy camera is monitoring them at that very moment.

* Pinhole Cameras

equipped with a conical pinhole lens, these cameras can be inserted or built in virtually anywhere without people ever identifying their presence. They can be embedded in clothing such as caps or ties, or they can be incorporated in a camouflaged object like a pack of gum or a pack of cigarettes. Their little size makes them superb for concealment but its potent enough to view and broadcast video photographs to a recording and viewing receiver truly hard indeed.

* Inspection Cameras

Inspection cameras are basically utilized in industries as tools for detailed visual inspection of tiny and tough to reach areas such as tight spaces behind walls or down a pipe. These tools are used to diagnose and detect Problems by giving engineers and inspectors a clear view of real conditions. But these cameras may also be used for covert ops as in the case of the Navy Seals and other arms of the army and you may use them as well as really efficient spy cameras.

* Motion Detector Cams

Concealed cameras can be places in houses and business establishments without folk knowing about their presence. Nevertheless there is no need to record everything, particularly if there are no folks present. Motion detector cameras will start recording only when movement is perceived -- giving you good video pictures just when it counts.

* Wired and Wireless Security Cams

Spy cameras can either be wired or wireless and their efficacy would depend on what application you intend them to use. Wired cameras have wires and connectors physically connecting the camera itself to a monitor or computer. Wireless cameras have no need for cables as they can use radio or Wi-Fi signals to transmit video feeds into a receiver or a laptop.

Using these Tricky Spy Cameras

As a reseller of spy cameras, it's very important to think about that folks have different wants and you can minister to these particular needs by knowing which camera would be acceptable for a specific situation, just like what is describe below.

* Disguised Spy Cameras

These cameras are likely some of the most handy and effective if you want to spy on folks without their data. You can install it within a room or within your business area and folk won't even suspect they're present such as monitoring the actions of employees or keeping an eye on your nanny looks after your youngster.

* Pinhole Cameras

Like disguised spy cameras, pinhole cameras can be useful tools to use to monitor folks. While the efficacy of camouflaged cameras is on how they make people think of them as ordinary objects, pinhole cameras are small enough for people to detect.

* Inspection Cameras

These cameras can be employed if there's not much access to the area you would like to check. The army and the police use these devices, inserting them in holes and clefts in the walls or floors, allowing them to view what's on the other side.

* Motion Detector Cams

These motion detector cams are activated only when movement is sensed,eg a trespasser breaking into your home or an unauthorized person entering your office, shocking you or a security personnel of the situation even while you are away.

* Wired and Wireless Surveillance Cams

For fixed locations or if you require lengthened surveillance or have a constant security monitor of a selected area, then a wired spy camera is what you need. They can be hidden safely in inconspicuous spaces without folks knowing about it. Wireless cameras on the other hand are extremely mobile due to the lack of wires, making them handy tools to use when trying hard to spy on folk while on the move.

The effectiveness of these troublesome spy cameras would rely on the specific situation and application. One can be useful in a specific moment though not so in another. So , as a reseller, it might be wise to grasp the capabilities and strength of each one of these cameras to ensure that you are giving them what they actually need. Do not forget the possession and use of these cameras are bound by law and laws, depending on which area you or your customers are in so take care that your consumers know this, and operate only inside the vicinity of the law.

Protests against a mining project in Romania have brought tens of thousands of people to the streets and have been the beneficiary of drawings by the sympathetic artist Dan Perjovschi, one of the best-known artists living in the country.

On Aug. 27, the Romanian parliament passed a law in a closed-door session that resolved to go forward with the Rosia Montana gold mining project (headed by Gabriel Resources, a Canadian Corporation) despite 15 years of debate and opposition by activists concerned that the pollution to the environment caused by cyanide used in the process would be catastrophic and that the promised jobs would turn out to be few in number. Protests against the law, the project and the corruption linked with it have erupted internationally, with activists of different political backgrounds, from progressives to nationalists. The protests demand that the law be rescinded and the ministers responsible for pushing it forward fired.

Perjovschi spoke to A.i.A. via e-mail about his role in the protests, the ways his drawings have been used, and questions of copyright versus copyleft.

What do you think brings all these protesters together as a unified front against this particular initiative, while other protests against political corruption, and even what was called a coup in 2012, did not have the same force?

In only one year, the current government (considered center-left, it came to power after the anti-austerity protests in 2012 brought down the center-right government of Traian Băsescu) managed to do everything possible to piss people off. I was also involved in a student Occupy movement (in Cluj and Bucharest) in March. The students' requests were legitimate (they asked for space for debate, a committed budget, etc.). The government totally ignored this. And then, when this law custom-made for a corporation was given the green light, young people went to the streets. The core group of protesters are activists who have been fighting this project for 15 years. I also think the theme is precise enough (stop the cyanide mining in Rosia Montana) and universal enough (protect nature, our mountains and our country) to unite yuppies, anti-capitalists, anarchists, artists etc.

You have always been politically engaged and have made work that through the use of irony and humor has criticized specific and general issues in current events. Recently you have devoted your activism to the Rosia Montana cause by posting drawings about this issue on your Facebook page (which is followed by thousands) and sharing documentation of the protests from various parts of the world. What impact have you had, and is it realistic to think that artists can have an impact on political events through their artwork?

For some time, I have been sliding from the institution wall to Facebook walls. I have found it to be an interesting space. My drawings mean something beyond "art." I can have a more objective and precise look at the events I comment on. During the student Occupy protest, I posted a drawing, and if somebody on the ground identified with it, he/she could use it. The students downloaded them and put them all around the amphitheatre they occupied. It was one of my best "shows.

Now, with Rosia, I also deliver some statements to help people to focus on the issues. They replicate them on big banners or download them and stick them on their T-shirts. I really feel I have a role. I am not on the front lines (this is not my revolution), but I can support and show some solidarity with this new generation. In January 2012 the protest was quickly politically manipulated. This time almost all media was bought by the Rosia Montana Gold Corporation (Gabriel Resources) so at first they turned a blind eye. Then when social media took the news and spread it, the old media had to report. And they tried to throw dirt at the protesters but it did not stick. The protesters outsmarted the "power," using bikes to move around and plastic bottles to drum in the big boulevards, and they kept everything peaceful and creative to psychologically disarm the police.

How do you deal with copyright issues, or do you prefer the copyleft approach? How does your distribution model affect your practice?

This time, for these protests, it's copyleft but only for activist and communication purposes. If I see somebody selling a T-shirt I will sue them.

While Venezuelan artist Jesús Rafael Soto (1923-2005) is recognized as an important 20th-century Latin American artist and a key figure within the Kinetic and Op art movements, he is arguably a neglected presence in the history of postwar art. A recent exhibition at Haunch of Venison was the first substantial presentation of the artist’s work in New York since a solo show at the Guggenheim Museum in 1974. And not surprisingly, this occasion offered a subtle reminder that Soto’s object-paintings and sculptures, particularly those of the 1950s and ’60s, should be more carefully considered and incorporated into the annals of art history.

The thoughtfully installed exhibition contained more than 20 works ranging from 1954 to 2004, a year before his death. At the show’s entrance, visitors encountered a strong midcareer kinetic work from 1973 titled Black and White Triptych. Three striped panels (painted black and white) in dialogue with a suspended mass of thin metal rods that gently vibrate and flutter before the panels, the dizzying triptych is reminiscent of both Calder’s kinetic pieces and Eva Hesse’s Metronomic Irregularity II (1966), a more contemporaneous, Post-Minimalist comparison. Despite these similarities, Soto creates something unique: the highly pristine nature of the work allows for an engagement beyond the material and mechanical components. We stop seeking what causes the movement and vibration and are instead mesmerized by how the work animatedly performs.

The early pieces (several of which were clustered in a smaller back gallery) offered evidence of Soto’s handmade esthetic and were some of the most interesting in the show. The Small Blue Cube (1962) highlights his playfulness, an important aspect of his early work and one related to his Zero Group contemporaries. Kinetic Structure (1954) consists of a 15¾-inch-square Plexiglas panel with white lines in front of a wood panel with a multicolor linear arrangement; the panels are attached by four metal bars about 10 inches long. The work exemplifies Soto’s formal concerns about perception on a basic and perfunctory level; we are unapologetically made aware of the effects he enlists for his end result (such as the rudimentary optical play between the Plexiglas and wooden panels) and are allowed access to the artist’s thoughtful working process.

The monumental Writing, N.Y. (1984), measuring more than 16 feet long, was one of the more successful later works on view. Soto effortlessly encourages the viewer to decode the textlike forms. Part mural, part kinetic object-painting, the piece possesses an unexpected coherence as a multitude of metal rods unfolds across five panels (comprising Soto’s preferred squares), much like a sheet of impenetrable music. But when viewed from the side, the work becomes a three-dimensional drawing, wildly dancing into the gallery space. As the rods erratically penetrate the room, they belie the coherence of the work when viewed head-on. While much of Soto’s oeuvre actively engages with perceived movement, here the viewer inevitably moves around the work, which entails an altered impression of the composition: order suddenly turns to chaos.

It's okay for a first try, but it could have flowed more smoothly.  And instead of adding or
removing things, try moving things around.  Movement is what really makes each contribution shine.
And be sure not to overuse color changing.

Anyway, thanks for contributing.

Hey guys, do you think we should keep this contribution or not?  I'm kind of torn here.

Yeah, it could be worse.

even reads the comments.  Or cares.

Well, by incomplete, I don't really mean short.  Just kind of like he threw it together real

jQuery Show Hide Password Characters or Field without Any Plugin

Jan 27, 2014

Here I will explain how to use
jQuery to show hide password characters or jQuery show hide password field.

In previous articles I explained JavaScript show number of characters remaining in textarea, jQuery set maxlength for multiline textbox, jQuery stop form being submit on keypress, jQuery check undefined or empty value and many articles relating to jQuery, JavaScript,, SQL server. Now I will explain how to show or hide password characters using jQuery.

To show or hide password characters in jQuery we need to write the code like as shown below

<html xmlns="">
<title>jQuery Show or Hide Password</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {

$('#btnclick').click(function () {
var txt = $('#btnclick').val()
var pwd = $('#hidepwd').val();
if (pwd.length > 0) {
if (txt == 'Show Password') {
$(this).val('Hide Password');
return false;
else if (txt == 'Hide Password') {
$(this).val('Show Password');
return false;
else {
alert('Plese Enter Password');
return false;

<form id="form1">
<b>Enter Password: </b>
<input type="password" id="hidepwd" />
<input type="text" id="showpwd" />
<input type="button" id="btnclick" value="Show Password" />
Once we run above query we will get output like as shown below

Dear Suresh ji, Please teach us MVC. You can plan CRUD functionality in MVC 3 or 4 page application. In that you can show JQuery stuff also. I want to learn thats why i am giving the suggestion.

A candidate near-infrared counterpart to IGRJ 17511-3057

ATel #2216; M. A.P. Torres (CfA), P. G. Jonker (SRON/CfA), D. Steeghs (Warwick/CfA), J. D. Simon (OCIW), G. Gutowski (Haverford College)
on 25 Sep 2009; 16:30 UT
Credential Certification: P.G. Jonker (pjonker@cfa.harvard.edu)

Subjects: Infra-Red, Neutron Star, Transient, Pulsar

Referred to by ATel #: 2221, 2232, 2233, 7288

We report on near-infrared follow-up observations of the field containing the currently active accreting millisecond pulsar IGR J17511-3057 (ATels #2196, #2197, #2198, #2199).

Our observations consist of a series of 15s Ks-band images totaling 225s on source. They were acquired on 2009 Sep 22 23:46 - 23:52 UT with the PANIC camera mounted on the 6.5m Baade telescope at Las Campanas Observatory. Sky conditions were good with a seeing of 0.5". Additional 3s exposures were obtained to obtain the astrometric and absolute flux calibration of the data using 2MASS objects in the field of view. This delivered a positional rms < 0.1' and a zero-point accuracy < 0.15 mag.

Our mosaic image shows a faint point-like source at R.A (J2000)=17:51:08.64, Dec (J2000)=-30:57:40.70 consistent with the 0.6" Chandra position reported by Nowak et al. (2009, ATel #2215). Preliminary PSF-fitting photometry of the PANIC images yields Ks=18.0 +/- 0.1.

This source does not appear to be present in UKIDSS GPS frames obtained in 2007, although the image quality and depth is significantly worse than our PANIC epoch. The positional match and apparent variability does point towards a viable counterpart for the millisecond pulsar.

We would like to thank Mike Nowak, Ada Paizis and Joern Wilms for sharing the Chandra X-ray position prior to publication.

Tuesday Morning Hot Links

Happy Correa Triple-A Day!

*The Mariners have now taken over the Astros as FanGraphs' favorites to win the division, though the Astros still have a 45.4% chance of making it to the postseason.

*What the Heck Bobby shares some thoughts about Correa's promotion

*JJO talked to both Correa and Corpus manager Rodney Linares about his promotion, with a line about how Luhnow was tempted to promote him to Houston.

*"This is our top prospect - probably the top prospect in all of baseball." Tony DeFrancesco tells the Fresno Bee, who also get Joe Sclafani's name wrong and wonder if Correa will get promoted to Houston before the Grizzlies return from their road trip.

*A.J. Hinch's reasoning for why the Astros are only 8-8 at home: Because that's the way it is.

*Jed Lowrie is surprised at how much you actually use your thumbs.

*George Springer could play in a rehab game today.

*Henry Schulman looks at the history between the Giants and the Astros

*Here's a good article from Quad Cities on 2014 4th Round pick Daniel Mengden, his back injury, and his mustache.

*Corpus' Tony Kemp graduated from Vanderbilt with a degree in communications over the weekend, so now he can be best friends with Buster Olney.

*Terrifying: the Carolina Mudcats' team bus was in a wreck and flipped on its side early this morning. Former Astros minor-leaguers Andrew Thurman and Blair Walters are on the Mudcats roster.

Thanks for the links, you always have a few that I would miss otherwise. I do have a request though, if it's not too much trouble. Could you please add a notification to links that require a subscription? Hinch's thoughts about the home record and the interview with Correa and Linares both led to nothing.
Either way your efforts are truly appreciated.

Who Built the Atomic Bomb?

Who Built the Atomic Bomb?

History Page Type:
A worker at Hanford

In just 27 months, America accomplished what other nations thought impossible. How did the United States achieve the remarkable feat of building an atomic bomb when Germany, Italy and Japan failed? Hundreds of physicists, mathematicians, and engineers were needed to design, build, and test the world's first atomic weapon and the Unites States government did everything in its power to lure these individuals to the Manhattan Project. To Bulgarian-born journalist Stephane Groueff, the Manhattan Project was an outstanding example of the "American way": a combination of creativity, courage to try unorthodox approaches, and a relentless determination to succeed.

The Manhattan Project benefited from an unusual number of extremely intelligent, experienced, and effective leaders. Their enormous energy and undaunted spirit carried the project forward despite the odds against its success. Some of these exemplary leaders included the Army Corps of Engineers' General Leslie Groves, physicists J. Robert Oppenheimer and Enrico Fermi, DuPont's Crawford Greenewalt and Kellogg's Percival Keith, MIT's Vannevar Bush, Harvard's James B. Conant, and Berkeley's Ernest O. Lawrence.

To ensure that the nation fully engaged its scientific and technical resources in World War II, Vannevar Bush asked President Roosevelt to create the Office of Scientific Research and Development. As its director, Bush forged an unprecedented alliance between government, academia and industry. Under Bush's direction, the nation's most talented scientists and engineers were mobilized and developed radar, the proximity fuze, and the atomic bomb, inventions that were critical to the Allied victory in World War II.

One aspect of the Manhattan Project that has been generally overlooked by historians has been industry's contribution. Virtually overnight, the Manhattan Project created a nationwide "factory" that rivaled General Motors in size and scale despite serious wartime shortages of manpower and materials. The battle on the home front was waged without restraint. Crawford Greenewalt of the DuPont Company in Wilmington, Delaware and Percival Keith of the M. W. Kellogg Company in Jersey City, New Jersey, which opened a subsidiary in Manhattan, NY to focus on research for the Manhattan Project, led these efforts.

Over one hundred scientists who had recently fled from the Nazis contributed immeasurably to the effort. America benefited by being one of the few countries during these dark years before and during World War II that opened its doors to these refugees. The "Martians," four brilliant scientists who were born in the same neighborhood in Budapest, Hungary, allegedly earned their nickname from Enrico Fermi. A refugee from Italy himself, Fermi quipped that there must have been a spaceship from Mars that landed in Budapest, dropping off the extraordinarily gifted Edward Teller, Eugene Wigner, John von Neumann, and Leo Szilard. The British mission, led by Sir James Chadwick, also made very important contributions. Well versed in experimental physics, the 20-plus members of the British mission in Los Alamos were instrumental in translating the abstract notions of the theorists into reality.

The contributions of the Army Special Engineer Detachment servicemen and the many African-American and female workers on the Manhattan Project must be recognized. These groups helped to construct the bombs, build the factories, and keep the Project running. Thanks to the efforts of thousands of individuals at dozens of sites nationwide, the Manhattan Project was able to produce an atomic bomb in a little over two years.

The SideWinder - Page 1 of 4

Figure 1

The SideWinder is a bizarre folding bicycle that pivots in the center of its frame while in motion, causing the wheelbase to shorten up for some seriously wacky steering tricks. You can turn the SideWinder around in about 2 feet of space, making it slink around corners and spin around in place until you are too dizzy to keep riding! When it's not folding around corners, the bike handles just like any regular bicycle, so it can be ridden for long distances under normal control.

You can use practically any ordinary bicycle frame in order to build your own SideWinder, but this ladies frame shown here is optimal due to the placement of the top tube and down tube. Start by chopping the frame as shown here at the end of the down tube where it meets the bottom bracket and at the end of the top tube where it meets the seat tube. Once you cut the tubing, use a sanding disc or hand file to remove any sharp leftover tubing at the bottom bracket and seat tube joint.

Figure 2

There are no strict measurements and angles when building the SideWinder, so you need to install your wheels and cranks to determine the position of the frame tubing based on the parts you are using. The goal is to build a frame that pivots just ahead of where you knee will reach its furthest when pedaling and to ensure that the pedals have about 3 inches of ground clearance just as they did on the original cycle. As shown in this photo, the original head tube is relocated so that it is about 14 inches from the seat tube, at an angle very much the same as it was originally. This slight upward head tube angle helps the frame stay in the non-folded position when you want to ride it normally.

The other piece of tubing shown here will extend from the pivot to the head tube that will carry the front forks and handlebars. The front steering head tube is also placed at the same angle as on a regular bicycle, so both head tubes are at the same angle.

Figure 3

Weld the chopped front frame section back to the rear frame section as shown here, placing the head tube about 14 inches away from the seat tube at the same angle as it was on the original frame. If you are using a ladies bicycle frame like I am, then you don't have to alter the front section of the frame - just flip it upside-down and it will work perfectly. If you are using a standard diamond frame, then you need to cut one of the tubes so that the lower tube forms a 90 degree angle with the seat tube as shown here. Of course, none of these measurements are absolutely critical, so feel free to experiment.

Auburn set for USTA/ITA Regional Championships
Oct. 9, 2014

AUBURN, Ala. - Auburn women's tennis is scheduled to compete in the USTA/ITA Southern Regional Championships beginning this Friday at the Alabama Tennis Stadium hosted by the University of Alabama.

"We're looking forward to the ITA Regional Championships. It's a good opportunity for us to see how we stack up against some of our regional opponents," head coach Lauren Longbotham Meisner said. "We swept both singles and doubles last year and we're looking to have the same type of results this weekend."

18 teams will take part in the four-day event including SEC foes LSU, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and host Alabama. Auburn's entire roster is expected to compete in either singles or doubles at the tournament.

Junior Pleun Burgmans is the tournament's top-seed in the singles draw and will begin play Friday at 3 p.m. after receiving a first-round bye. Seniors Emily Flickinger and Jen Pfeifler will compete for the Tigers in the singles draw along with junior Paula de Man and freshman Andie Dikosavlijevic.

Auburn's sixth-ranked doubles pair of Burgmans and Flickinger enter the competition fresh off a semifinal-run at the Rivera/ITA All-American Championships last weekend. Pfeifler and Reka Muller went 3-0 at the Miami Fall Invite to open the season.
