My project is redo vector draw in some of the most important works of Leonardo da Vinci, and then engrave with a laser machine in a birch wood of 1/64 inch, a very thin wood. These drawings were made 520 years ago in paper and in time lost its beauty and originality due to wear of the media. Today they are stored in galleries to try to keep their originality and prevent wearing, and rarely exposed to the public. With the possibility of vector drawing can keep the art of Da Vinci immortalized in a digital media, that has no risk of getting lost, which will keep its quality forever. One of the drawings, already almost done and now you can see the result. The initial project are 2 of Leonardos drawings, but if the project is successful in funding, iwill add two more drawings. Now imagine this piece in your living room. here is my project on kickstarter http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/919372687/recovering-and-redrawing-leonardo-da-vincis-drawin Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First Sijun Forums Forum Index -> Work in Progress All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1 Jump to: Select a forum Digital Art----------------Digital Art DiscussionWork in ProgressGallery/Finished Work Miscellaneous----------------Random MusingsArchive : Sep99 - Dec00 You cannot post new topics in this forumYou cannot reply to topics in this forumYou cannot edit your posts in this forumYou cannot delete your posts in this forumYou cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2005 phpBB Group

Orotic Acid
Orotic acid plays a central role in the metabolism of folic acid and vitamin B-12, and may enhance the transportation of minerals across cell membranes. Found naturally in whey and root vegetables, such as beets, turnips, and carrots, orotic acid is easily destroyed by water and sunlight.
View a second image of orotic acid.
To biochemists, orotic acid has many synonyms including 1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-2,6-dioxo-4-pyrimidinecaboxylic acid, uracil-6-carboxylic acid, and 2,6-dihydroxy-4-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid, while to biologists it is also known as animal galactose factor or orotonin. Featuring 5 carbons, 4 hydrogens, 2 nitrogens, and 4 oxygen atoms per molecule, orotic acid has a molecular weight of 110. As a white crystalline powder, at 345 degrees Celsius it decomposes and the fragile chemical is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents.
If inhaled or ingested in its purified or synthesized form, orotic acid is listed as toxic. The biochemical is reportedly a remedy for liver-related complications, premature aging, and helps for treating the symptoms of multiple sclerosis. The United States Food and Drug Administration has not set a recommended daily allowance (RDA) for orotic acid and apparently, it is not available for retail sale in the United States as a dietary supplement. The synthesized version is marketed as the calcium orotate, and when combined with elemental calcium, increases calcium absorption and helps prevent osteoporosis. For patients with urea cycle defects, an assay of the urine for orotic acid is conducted. Apparently, as revealed from radioactive isotope tracer studies, orotic acid is incorporated into RNA as uridine and is able to cross the placental bridge for synthesis of fetal RNA also.
As a non-essential vitamin-like substance, orotic acid is biosynthesized by intestinal flora of the human body. A genetic mistake in the pyrimidine metabolic process results in enzyme deficiencies and a disease condition known as orotic aciduria. With this hereditary defect, there is an accumulation of orotic acid in the body and high levels detectable in the urine (up to 1.5 grams per day are excreted). Symptoms of the disease include megaloblastic anemia, retardation in growth and mental capabilities, and crystal formation in the urine. Surprisingly, cancer research has revealed that orotic acid is a powerful tumor promoter, particularly in the liver. Orotic acid is used in cosmetics for skin moisturizing and anti-aging creams, where it is readily absorbed by epithelial cells and penetrates skin tissues to provide nourishment. In the long battles against HIV/AIDS and cancer, there are some indications that antiproliferative agents, such as brequinar, may hold promise by inhibiting the enzyme that converts dihydro-orotate into orotic acid, which is critical for the formation of uridine and cytidine, both required for DNA and RNA synthesis.

Taiwanese tennis player wins England doubles title
TAIPEI–Taiwanese tennis player Hsieh Su-wei (謝淑薇)and partner Timea Babos of Hungary won the AEGON Classic doubles title Sunday in Birmingham, England, edging out Lisa Raymond and Liezel Huber of the U.S. 7-5, 6-7 (2), 10-8.
The unseeded duo led the first set but gave up ground to the Americans, the top-ranked pair in the women's doubles contest, in the second set. However, Hsieh and Babos won a grueling final set match tie break, when the duo scored six straight points to reverse a 4-8 deficit to snatch the title in the ladies' event, which had a total purse of US$220,000.
The duo were scheduled to face Zheng Jie and Zhang Shuai of China in the semifinals, but made it into the final without having to do so, as Zheng quit as a result of injuries suffered playing against Serbian Jelena Jankovic in an earlier singles event.

I'm a strict mother: Madhuri Dixit
Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit, a doting mother to two sons - Arin and Raayan - is strict when it comes to their healthcare. She says she never lets them go to bed without brushing their teeth no matter how tired they are.
Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit, a doting mother to two sons - Arin and Raayan - is strict when it comes to their healthcare. She says she never lets them go to bed without brushing their teeth no matter how tired they are.
"There is one thing that I am really strict about my kids and that is (making sure that they are) brushing teeth twice a day. No matter how tired they are or how late they are arriving after attending birthday parties, I make sure that they brush their teeth," Madhuri told IANS over phone from Mumbai.
"I think that is very important. Brushing teeth for two minutes every morning and night is very important," said the actress, who is the face of oral care brand Oral B.
Madhuri, who married Sriram Nene, a doctor, in 1999, also feels that "a family is very important in Indian culture" and it is necessary to have a healthy family.
"A healthy smile shows a happy family because they all represent health when they smile healthy. So I think it is very important for a family to establish a good smile," said Madhuri, who was recently shooting for a new Oral B toothpaste ad campaign.
After having started her acting career with the 1984 film "Abodh", Madhuri went on to cement her space in Hindi movies with entertainers like "Tezaab", "Ram Lakhan", "Tridev", "Parinda", "Dil", "Sailaab", "Khalnayak", "Hum Aapke Hain Koun" and "Dil To Pagal Hai".
If acting came naturally to her, her fluid dancing skills, grace and charming smile made her a favourite among the best of banners, actors and filmmakers.
The actress feels that a "smile says a thousand words and when you smile, the world smiles with you."
"I think smile sends a very positive message so it important to take care of it. When you have good teeth, you don't hesitate to smile and it also gives you confidence. So when you are confident, it changes your life as well," she said, stressing on the importance of brushing right twice, and visiting the dentist every six months.
Most film celebrities rely on caffeine intake to battle hectic schedules. Doesn't that have an ill effect on their teeth?
Madhuri said: "Anything in moderation is fine. If you drink coffee throughout the day, it won't be good for teeth - neither for health! So, we just do everything in moderation.
"If I drink tea, I do so twice a day and that's it. I don't overdo it. No caffeine all the time or no soda drink all the time," said the actress, who is currently seen as one of the judges of dance reality show "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 7".
And what about her Bollywood projects?
"I will let people know whenever I decide to work," said the actress, who was last seen in "Gulaab Gang".

Last night I was at the Bell Centre in Montreal when Jerry Lawler suffered a heart attack. It was both uncomfortable and concerning.
After Lawler had already competed in a tag-team contest on Raw, he was performing his usual commentary duties with Michael Cole. During a tag-team match between the Prime Time Players and Daniel Bryan/Kane, I looked over to the broadcast table and saw Jerry Lawler hunched over, beginning to shake. It looked like he was choking. Then, suddenly, he collapsed from his chair. Michael Cole was quickly flicking his hand clockwise, as if to say to the cameraman nearby to "get away and get help." EMTs came to check on Lawler. Confusion set in among the fans in attendance, the match in the ring completely being ignored. Lawler was then carried out by several EMTs backstage. I have heard from several sources that the backstage area was cleared for EMTs to attend to Lawler. Initially, before seeing Lawler carted on a stretcher, many backstage thought a fight had escalated in the arena.
Michael Cole updated the TV audience throughout the night that Lawler had been administered CPR backstage, was being taken to the hospital by ambulance, was being administered oxygen and was breathing on his own, as well as responding to light. Unfortunately, this was not relayed to those in attendance in Montreal. We were told by ring announcer Justin Roberts that the planned Pat Patterson Appreciation night was to be postponed to another date because of Lawler's condition, which was not specified.
The crowd remained silent for much of the event after Lawler's collapse -- only during the last segment of Raw involving Bret Hart, John Cena and CM Punk did the crowd begin to react as loudly as they had in the beginning of the evening, which was often deafening and could easily be categorized as one of the hottest crowds in recent memory.
Michael Cole decided to remain silent during the Raw telecast, except to provide updates on Jerry Lawler. I found this to be a very classy and warranted move, particularly because the collapse happened mere inches away from him. Cole remained at his broadcast position, but his expressions and body language throughout the night (including the picture above) said it best.
In May of 1999, Owen Hart fell to his death live at a WWE pay-per-view event in Kansas City, Mo. That event continued as planned. It was later mentioned on that broadcast that Owen Hart had died. Many criticized WWE's decision to move forward with the show. Similar criticism has appeared in this situation. Many feel that a man's life is in danger and it's both insensitive and disrespectful to keep a program going.
I completely understand the notion that "the show must go on." Raw has an obligation to USA Network and broadcast partners around the world for three hours of content on Monday nights, regardless of what happens in that live environment. While that may seem insensitive, it's also business. If Vince McMahon collapsed and was rushed to hospital during an event, the show would go on. The same would apply for any employee.
It's also a tough situation for the superstars who must perform after an occurrence like this. To the trained eye who sees John Cena every week and can notice a change in his demeanor, it was clear that he was less enthusiastic than normal during his entrance. You must give credit to him and the other superstars for maintaining composure when a fellow colleague is being administered CPR backstage.
Lawler's match didn't seem overly strenuous. In an interview with me a few months ago, Lawler mentioned that despite being 62 years old, he still wrestles on average twice a week, whether it be WWE or independents. Pro wrestling matches can often happen at a blistering pace or at a very slow one. Perhaps Lawler's matches these days fall under the latter, but is it not a touch concerning that a man his age continues to take damage to his body like that? On the same episode of Raw, Bret Hart, a stroke survivor, also got physical, albeit a very small amount.
I'm sure it goes without saying but our thoughts are with Jerry Lawler for a speedy recovery.

MONTREAL -- The holiday celebrates no less than freedom from religious persecution. But most people associate Hanukkah with potato latkes.
At Hanukkah, which this year begins at nightfall on Dec. 20, crispy fried foods, both savoury and sweet, are served. Of these, potato latkes – pancakes of grated potato, and usually some onion, fried until crisp and then slathered with sour cream or applesauce – have achieved iconic status, certainly among Ashkenazi Jews. They're eaten year-round, not just at Hanukkah – and not just by Jews.
But what not everyone realizes is that it's the fact that latkes are fried in oil, not that they contain potato, that links them symbolically to Hanukkah, an eight-day holiday that falls during some of the season's darkest days and celebrates deliverance from the darkness of religious persecution, as Jayne Cohen put it in Jewish Holiday Cooking (John Wiley & Sons, 2008).
The Syrian-Greek king Antiochus IV Epiphanes, wishing to impose Hellenistic culture on the ethnic minorities in his empire, outlawed all other religions.
A small band of Jews, the Maccabees, revolted and were victorious. They returned to Jerusalem to find their temple desecrated; legend has it that when they prepared to re-dedicate the temple they had recovered, they found enough sanctified oil to burn for a single day – but it burned for eight, until more oil could be prepared, in what has come to be known as the miracle of Hanukkah.
Eight lights are kindled successively during Hanukkah on a special candelabrum, one for each night of the holiday, to symbolize the miracle. And the custom is to eat foods fried in oil. For many families, Hanukkah wouldn't be Hanukkah without potato latkes, and in their households, the spud rules. But the potato latke is actually a relatively recent innovation, as Gil Marks observes in his Encyclopedia of Jewish Food (John Wiley & Sons, 2010), and the original latkes were probably made with cheese.
"The Maccabees never saw a potato, much less a potato pancake," he writes in the book's latke entry. "When the Spanish first brought the potato to Europe from its native South America, it was considered poisonous and many centuries passed before it gradually gained acceptance as food."
The first Europeans to embrace the potato fully were the French, according to Marks – in the late 18th century, when they were desperate because of the famine brought about by the French Revolution. The Germans, too, began to eat potatoes, he writes, and German Jews began to make potato pancakes, although not specifically for Hanukkah.
It wasn't until a series of crop failures in Eastern Europe during the mid-19th century that potatoes were planted for the first time in large numbers in that part of the world. Within a short period, potatoes, which grow quickly, even in poor soil, and can be stored through winter, became the staple of the eastern European Jewish diet – and potato latkes became the most common Hanukkah pancake, Marks writes. They came to North America with German immigrants in the 19th century.
Like many Ashkenazi foods, pancakes appeared first among Italian Jews, who fried them in olive oil, according to Marks. The idea travelled north, reaching the Jews of northern Europe in the 14th century. After the Jews were expelled from Sicily by the Spaniards in 1492, they migrated north and introduced their ricotta cheese pancakes to the Jews of northern Italy. These cheese pancakes, which combined the fried and dairy elements that had come to be considered traditional Hanukkah fare, became a Hanukkah dish, he writes.
But soft cheese and butter were considered luxury items during winters in northeastern Europe, and cheese latkes were replaced during the Middle Ages by those made with buckwheat flour as Jews moved eastward into Europe. Until the arrival of the potato, they also used turnips and other vegetables for their patties.
Still, eating cheese latkes and other dairy foods remains a custom, if a little-known one, at Hanukkah. It's a nod to the story of Judith, heroine in the Apocryphal Book of Judith. According to legend, the pious and beautiful widow was determined to save her besieged city, Bethulia, from Assyrian invaders, commanded by a general named Holofernes. Judith served him salty cheese to make him thirsty and when he fell into a drunken stupor she beheaded him with a sword.
Although no one is sure how her story was linked to Hanukkah and she doesn't get nearly the play the Maccabees do, rabbis refer to Judith as a heroine of Hanukkah. In commemoration, Ashkenazi Jews eat foods like cheese blintzes and cheesecake, Claudia Roden observed in The Book of Jewish Food (Alfred A. Knopf, 1996), and Sephardic Jews eat cheese bumuelos.
Here are four takes on fritters fried in oil, in honour of Hanukkah – and perfectly good all year round, as hors d'oeuvres, side dishes and, in the case of Gil Marks's cheese pancakes, even dessert. And nary a potato in sight.
Zucchini Fritters with Tahini Sauce
Makes 12 fritters of 2-inch (5-cm) diameter
Shawna Goodman-Sone prepared these flavourful and fabulous green fritters at a cooking class at Loblaws in November – and those in attendance devoured them in no time. She reproduced them for us in her own kitchen. They work as a side dish or as hors d'oeuvres. And zucchini is moist enough that the batter requires no eggs to bind it.
½ cup (125 mL) all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon (4 mL) salt
½ teaspoon (2 mL) freshly ground pepper
¼ teaspoon (1 mL) baking soda
⅛ teaspoon (dash) ground nutmeg
1¾ cups (425 mL) coarsely grated zucchini, about 1 medium, squeezed and drained
¼ cup (50 mL) chopped fresh Italian parsley, or dill or cilantro, if preferred
1 tablespoon (15 mL) chopped fresh chives
3 tablespoons (45 mL), approximately, extra-virgin olive oil
Whisk first five ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Grate zucchini using a box grater and squeeze the excess liquid out through a colander or, better yet, with your hands. Mix zucchini into batter, together with chives and parsley; if you prefer dill or cilantro, use either in place of the parsley. Let stand until batter becomes moist, about 15 minutes. With wet hands, shape by rounded tablespoonful into 12 2-inch (5-centimetre) diameter patties. Place on foil. Heat 2 tablespoons (30 mL) oil in heavy large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add about half the patties and sauté until cooked through, browned and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towel-covered platter. Repeat with remaining patties, adding more oil if needed.
These can be prepared in advance and flash frozen. Lay them on a baking sheet and place in freezer. Once they're frozen, place in a resealable bag. They won't stick together. To reheat from room temperature, spread pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet and warm at 350 degrees F (175C) for about 7 minutes, until crispy. To re-heat frozen latkes, allow more time.
½ cup (125 mL) tahini, sesame seed paste
2 tablespoons (30 mL) freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon (5 mL) cumin
2 tablespoons (30 mL) chopped cilantro or flat-leaf parsley
½ teaspoon (2 mL) salt
Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
¼ to ⅓ cup (50 to 75 mL) water
Place all ingredients except water in a blender and blend – or put them in a bowl and use a hand-held immersion blender to blend. Add water gradually to achieve desired thickness. Sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
Salmon Watercress Latkes with Yogourt-Garlic-Lemon Sauce
Holly Botner, who blogs at JitteryCook.com, has a wonderful sense of flavour – and humour. Her posts are entertaining and her recipes are never too complicated and always rewarding – like this one, which she prepared for us and then posted about.
2 7.5-ounce (213 mL) cans salmon, low-sodium or regular, drained and mashed
1 bunch watercress, chopped finely
2 to 3 eggs
2/3 to 1 cup (150 to 250 mL) homemade breadcrumbs
(see note)
1 to 2 green onions, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon (5 mL) Dijon mustard
Peanut oil for frying
Mix first seven ingredients together in a bowl and leave the mixture to sit for five minutes for the breadcrumbs to absorb moisture. Shape the mixture into patties of desired size, medium-sized to serve on a plate at the table or small to serve as hors d'oeuvres. Another option is to make small, bite-sized balls of approximately 1-inch (2.5 cm) diameter. Into a large, heavy large frying pan over medium-high heat, pour enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan and heat until hot, but not smoking. Use sunflower, canola or grapeseed oil in place of peanut, if you like. Add patties (or balls) and turn heat down slightly as they begin to sizzle. Cook for a few minutes on each side, until browned and crispy and remove to paper towel-covered platter. Add oil as needed.
(After frying, the fish balls, which are thicker than the patties, should be baked on a pan in the oven at 325 degrees F (160 C) for about 10 minutes to make sure they're cooked through.)
Serve the patties on a bed of watercress, or whatever greens you prefer, with the yogourt sauce (see recipe) drizzled over the latkes and the salad. The salmon-watercress balls can be served as hors d'oeuvres in ceramic Asian spoons with a drizzle of sauce and a watercress leaf as garnish.
Botner used half a hollowed-out green bell pepper as a vessel for the yogourt sauce.
Leftovers can be used in sandwiches, with the yogourt sauce or with horseradish, tomato and lettuce. They also freeze well.
Note: To make breadcrumbs, place sliced stale bread in a 250 degree F (120C) oven for 10 minutes, then turn off heat and leave bread in oven until it cools. Then place in food processor and use steel blade to process: less time for coarse crumbs and more for fine. Freeze for up to three months. Great way to use stale bread.
Yogourt sauce
1 garlic clove, minced very fine
1 green onion, minced very fine
2 teaspoons (10 mL) freshly squeezed lemon
2/3 cup (150 mL) plain yogourt
Sea salt to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Mince the garlic and green onion in a small food processor and add the remaining ingredients and pulse for about five seconds.
Ashkenazic Cheese Pancakes
Makes about 26 3-inch
(7.5 cm) pancakes
This recipe is from the Encyclopedia of Jewish Food (John Wiley & Sons, 2010, $48), by Gil Marks, a rabbi, historian, award-winning Jewish cookbook writer, expert on Jewish cooking and an accomplished cook himself.
2 cups (500 mL) ricotta cheese or pressed (not curd) cottage cheese, also known as pot cheese or farmer cheese
4 large eggs
Approximately 3/4 cup (175 mL) all-purpose flour (I used matzo meal)
2 tablespoons (30 mL) sugar or honey
1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) vanilla extract
About 1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) table salt or 1 teaspoon (5 mL) kosher salt
Vegetable oil for frying
In a large bowl, beat together the cheese, eggs, flour, sugar, vanilla and salt until well combined.
In a large, heavy frying pan, heat a thin layer of oil over medium heat. In batches, drop the batter by heaping tablespoon and fry until the top is set and the bottom is lightly browned, about three minutes. Turn and fry until golden, about two minutes. Serve with sour cream, yogourt, maple syrup, jam, cinnamon-sugar or fresh fruit.
Mediterranean Chickpea Latkes
Yields 4 servings
This recipe, from Jewish Holiday Cooking (John Wiley & Sons, 2008), by Jayne Cohen, makes a savoury latke reminiscent of those fritters and crêpes in France and Italy made of chickpea flour. They make a good accompaniment to meat or poultry; they can be served as hors d'oeuvres with applesauce, with a few spoons of pomegranate molasses stirred into it.
1-1/2 cups (375 mL) cooked chickpeas, or 1 15-ounce (398 mL) can, rinsed and drained
1 to 2 teaspoons (5 to 10 mL) coarsely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon (15 mL) fresh rosemary leaves
2 tablespoons (30 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
3 large eggs
1-1/2 teaspoons (5 mL) ground cumin, ideally freshly toasted and ground
about 1 teaspoon (5 mL) kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons (45 mL) unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon (2 mL) baking powder
Olive oil or canola oil, for frying
In a food processor fitted with the steel blade, purée the chickpea, garlic and rosemary to a coarse paste. Add the extra-virgin oilive oil, eggs and 6 tablespoons (90 mL) water and blend until smooth. Add the cumin, salt to taste, pepper, flour and baking powder and pulse to blend well. Transfer the batter to a large bowl.
Heat 6 tablespoons (90 mL) oil in a 10- to 12-inch (25 to 30 cm) heavy frying pan, preferably cast-iron, over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking. Working in batches, drop the batter by heaping tablespoons into the hot oil. Regulate heat carefully as latkes fry until golden on both side. To prevent the oil from splattering, use two spatulas or a spatula and a large spoon to turn the latkes, carefully. Do not turn them more than once; they will absorb too much oil. Before turning, lift the latkes slightly with the spatula to make sure the underside is crisp and brown. Drain on paper towels or untreated brown paper bags. If needed, add more oil to the pan, but allow the oil to get hot before frying a new batch. Serve right away.

Ken Silva and his Internet Para-Church of the True Remnant star in UltraKen: The Ultra-Discernmentalist the newest comedic Sci-Fi Discernmentalist smash hit and Blockbuster of the Summer! Fresh and straight from the creators of Full Mental Jack-@ss. Ken Silva as UltraKen leads his Internet Para-Church of the True Remnant: the Ultra-Discernmentalist Mafia as they sing, they dance and chant in a non-Contemplative way and most importantly they fight off the Babylonian hordes from Emergent Village. Watch as UltraKen and his army of loyal Truth Warriors the Ultra-Discernmentalists take on the evil reptilianoid Tony Jones, the equally evil dragonoid Doug Pagitt and the rest of the Kaiju (怪獣, kaijū)* from the Babylonian hordes of Emergent Village.
UltraKen: The Ultra-Discernmentalist features a special guest appearance by Chris Rosebrough of Pirate Radio playing the role of Spider-Pirateman. UltraKen: The Ultra-Discernmentalist coming soon this Summer to a theater near you. Itodyaso raves: "UltraKen: The Ultra-Discernmentalist contains over 40 times more Ken Silva than either Apprising Ministries or Christian Research Network!" Truthslayer exclaims: "Stupendous!" "A True Biblically Based comedic thrill-ride," says Arthur McJohn; "my favorite part is when one of the UltraKens threw one of the Anabaptimergent Kaiju (怪獣, kaijū) into a fiery pit and said 'this should prepare you for your eternal fate.' I laughed so hard like Jesus 'I Wept.'"
And now what you've all been waiting for the movie trailer—a montage of film clips from UltraKen: The Ultra-Discernmentalist of the army of UltraKens singing, dancing, training for battle in the Truth War and chanting in a non-Contemplative way plus some scenes of them fighting off the Babylonian hordes from Emergent Village:
*- Editors' Note— In normal Japanese :
Kaiju (怪獣, kaijū?) is a Japanese word that means "strange beast," but often translated in English as "monster". Specifically, it is used to refer to a genre of tokusatsu entertainment. Related terms include kaiju eiga (怪獣映画, kaijū eiga?, monster movie), a film featuring kaiju, kaijin (怪人?, referring to roughly humanoid monsters) and daikaiju (大怪獣, daikaijū?, giant monster), specifically meaning the larger variety of monsters. The most famous kaiju is Godzilla. Other well-known kaiju include Mothra, Anguirus, Rodan, Gamera and King Ghidorah. The term ultra-kaiju is short-hand for monsters in the Ultra Series.
In Yapaknees (a language derived from combining Japanese with Discernmentalese):
Kaiju (怪獣, kaijū) is a Yapaknees word that means "strange Emerging Emergent beast," but often translated in English as "Emergent monster from the Babylonian hordes" or more simply "Emerging Emergent heretic." Most Kaiju (怪獣, kaijū) are thought to come from Emergent Village. Two of the most famous kaiju are Tony Jones whose true form is a reptilianoid-type creature and Doug Pagitt whose true form is a dragonoid-type creature—both featured in the new Discernmentalist Blockbuster Summer movie UltraKen: The Ultra-Discernmentalist.

Installing Premiere CC & Encore CS6
( UPDATED) 2014 release of Creative Cloud
June 18th, 2014
I've had a few questions on how to get Encore CS6 installed from Creative Cloud . Encore is actually part of the Premiere CS6 Family installer. You need to follow these 3 steps.
**Note ** These steps can be used to install any older version of CC or CS6.
1. From the Creative Cloud app (shortcuts in the upper right corner on OSX or lower right Taskbar area on Win 7/8) open the Creative Cloud app and scroll down the app list until you see "Filters & Versions" and select [Filters and Versions] and a drop down list will appear.
2. From the Drop down list select [Previous Version]
3. Scroll down until you see Premiere Pro and select [Install] . You will see a list of older versions back to CS6. In this case , you'll see version CS6 and CC 7.0
** NOTE ** make sure you are choosing Premiere Pro – see pict below – and NOT the newer version Premiere Pro CC (2014) to see previous versions.
There's also a KB article here – http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/download-previous-versions-creative-applications.html
If you want more info on using Encore CS6 with Premiere Pro CC you can refer to this video:

Did you realize it's "The Golden Age of TV Shopping"?
We know, we've been telling you that for more than a year now, but The Wall Street Journal made it official Thursday, with a big feature with that "Golden Age" headline.
It looks like Journal reporter Elizabeth Holmes actually plopped her butt onto a plane and made the trek to St. Petersburg, Fla., to find out exactly why the hell upscale designers such as Reem Acra (who is so high-end we had never heard of her), Mark Badgley and James Mischka, and Naeem Khan are now selling their wares on HSN. In the past, they were selling their duds to celebs like Angelina Jolie and Halle Berry.
The Journal story mainly focuses on HSN and its evolution (which has some irate customers wanting to start a revolution) under the helm of CEO Mindy Grossman. But it also references the market's dominant player, QVC, and its hip vendors such as razor-thin celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe and "Mad Men" costume designer Janie Bryant.
As usual in one of these home-shopping-networks-are-no-longer-downscale stories, we have the usual quotes from Acra and Khan (who has designed for First Lady Michelle Obama) knocking electronic home — that is before they swallowed the Kool-Aid.
"I never watched it before," Acra told The Journal, referring to HSN. "I pooh-poohed it. But now look at it. There are items I would want every single day."
Ah, a true believer now.
Then the story gets to the obvious: High-end designers have gone to HSN because they can move a hell of a lot of product on it, which is pretty crucial when sales for upsale goods have crashed. Mischka told Rupert Murdoch's financial rag that Badgley Mischka sold 18,000 units of one particular jacket on HSN. It would take a lot of couture gowns to ring up that kind of revenue. Volume, volume, volume.
We did learn a few things from The Journal, like that HSN keeps track of sales by the minutes, and uses that "intel," as Jack Bauer would say, to guide hosts. The story says that when HSN host Bobbi Ray Carter mentioned the quality of one of Acra's jackets, it's sales shot up. So HSN had Ray talk in more detail about the material in the piece.
The article talks quite a bit about Nike veteran Grossman, who came on board to HSN in 2006 and began making it more fashion-forward by courting a host of big-name designers.
Grossman did her research, asking people about HSN, and told The Journal she got three responses, "Some who shopped, some who didn't, some who did but they whispered that they did.""
We never whispered, Mindy! We were always loud and proud about our HSN and QVC purchases, despite being surrounded by snobby Manhattanites (most of whom where transplants from the Midwest).
The Journal story goes on about Grossman, saying, "The new CEO cleaned house, shedding brands that she didn't think made sense for the network."
We guess the "shedding" refers to the exits of vendors like Suzanne Somers, Terry Lewis, Beyonce's mom Tina Knowles and a parade of others. The departure of Terry Lewis and her Classic Luxuries line still has some HSN shoppers calling for Grossman to be drawn and quartered.
We did get a kick out of the anecdote in the story about Mischka "falling off the stage" the first time he and his partner Badgley appeared on HSN. But unfortunately for viewers, the camera wasn't on him when that little mishap took place.

San Francisco
Learn what it's like to work in The City.
We (heart) San Francisco
Picture yourself in the city by the bay. Full of neighborhoods as unique as its people. Head over to the Mission, home of some of the best burritos on the planet, or to SoMa where you'll find AT&T Park and Atlassian's SF office. That's San Francisco: up a hill to a new vista, down another to a different park, cafe, or cool bar.
Now add to that a job in the playground of global technology, and the home of Atlassian's global marketing and business teams (think Finance, Legal, HR).
And, San Francisco is just the beginning. As we grow, so will our SF Bay Area team.
Go Giants!
Take me out to the ballpark. With my BFFs. And a full spread of baseball-inspired food. Check out how we celebrate SF Friends and Family day at AT&T Park!
Onto 465 Pine
After spending a few good years in the SoMa neighborhood, we've relocated our office to a beautiful FiDi building that has plenty of space to both work and relax. Add to the mix perks galore—onsite showers and exercise space, catered lunch, dog-friendly office–and you've got the recipe for an awesome place to work.
Free healthcare for all
100% paid healthcare for you and your family. Yep, you read right. This is one of the perks we offer, and it's a doozy. Just ask your significant other. While you're at it, be sure to mention the generous time off, the immediate vesting of your 401(k) match, and the $600 annual fitness subsidy.
You can get here from there
The SF office is accessible by BART, Caltrain, bus, and ferry. And if you bike, you're in good company here. We have ample bike parking, and another of our perks: free bike repair. Plus, you can borrow one of our several office bikes (or even a beer bike) when you're in need.
"Working at Atlassian San Francisco is such a blast, even our dogs like coming to work!"

We couldn't wait till tomorrow so we decided to start earlier. 🙂
Truso Team with cooperation of Enthusiasts of Truso Association and Archaeological and Historical Museum in Elbląg has the honour to introduce to you ……
Our brave and sweet and handsome Viking Ghost – OLAF! 🙂
Truso was known only from Wulfstan's account, who described his way from Danish Haede (Hedeby) to Truso. In 1981 Truso was discovered by Marek F. Jagodziński.
He used to live in Truso – early medieval Vikings' settlement located in the Slavic-Estian borderland, but he decided to move to our Museum.
Now he sleeps in the reconstruction of Viking hut, and he hopes to find a beautiful ghost girlfriend, because he is really lonely (oh and he needs new cloak).
Tomorrow we will sail with him through rough waves of Day of Archaeology. I hope that You will like my job as I love it.

Fun puzzles, Mon/Tues. Thanks Argyle, etc.
No problems.
It has been a lonely holiday. However, I did get to swim twice. Watched some old movies. One of my favorites (please don't laugh) True Lies.
Have a nice week.

Morning, all!
Enjoyable romp today. Had some minor confusion in the NE corner after misspelling LAUREL as LAURAL and DIANAS as DIANES (and ending with EDAME instead of EDEMA as a result), but that was about it for missteps. I had a little struggle trying to remember how to spell DIOCESE (I briefly tried DIOSCES), but that was quickly taken care of by the perps.
- May 29, 2012 at 5:47 AM
Got up early - did the puzzle. Thank you Mr.Stillman for a wonderful puzzle, thank you Argyle for a wonderful blog and great links - and ... and not deleting my last nights posts - which I rued immediately afterwards.
I loved and was in ultimate awe of the Beatle's songs and tunes - but never really, really understood them ( or the language ? - ) ... thanks to you I listened to 'Band on the run' -with lyrics. Still don't understand the song, but love it. They, especially Paul were geniuses in their own right.
Omanis, though they are on the edge of the peninsula, - because of their sea faring occupations, have a lot of Iranian-Pakistani- Indian- Sri Lanka blood/DNA/ racial haplotypes. Oman, which has no oil, is considered one of USA's most faithful allies in that area.
Have a good you week, all.

Good day folks,
I don't dislike the Beatles, but I've never felt the urge to commit each of their song titles to memory either. As such, this was a bit of a grind for a Tuesday.
LEGATO, LLM, & RNA (wanted DNA) added to my woes because they were not a the top of my oft used vocabulary either..
Got a kick out of Do-re-mi/MOOLAH. I thought MY SWEET LORD was My Sweet Lady and that had me messed up for a while. But Autsells convinced me I had a problem. Lastly, I can never remember if it's DAIS or DIAS.
Bueno "dais" all.

Thanks for the sweet words. 100 sit-ups before and after shower to get my abs under control. That's all.

Hello Puzzlers -
Had to chime in today since so much interesting stuff showed up in the puzzle. Filled everything right in, with a pause at EDEMA, since I didn't know the botanical connection. Today's big surprise: bay leaves! I never knew they were LAUREL.
Morning, Argyle, and thanks for the memories. So glad you included both palindromes. I wonder whether the constructor put in both words deliberately.
The Beatles accomplished so much. I am still in awe of their creative output, and how well they performed even when they were just kids.
Mount Holyoke is dear to me. I spent many happy hours there, both studying and socializing, back in the day. Male students from the other schools in the Five Colleges collective are permitted to take classes there, but I don't think it happens often. The distance between Amherst and South Hadley makes it inconvenient.
Good Day all!

I have hardly touched my coffee due to the fact that I did this puzzle as fast as I could write - but anything with the Fab 4 is fine with me.
-With all the diversity in music today, a phenomenon like the BEATLES will never reoccur
-A choir director I taught with was steeped in Lutheranism but had her kids sing IMAGINE which views an ideal world sans religion.
-Ringo was the luckiest man in R 'n R history and I'll take this version of You're Sixteen any day.
-Dad served WW II in Panama and always wanted to go back but never got more than 50 miles from his birthplace after coming home.
-EDEMA first aid? ICE – Ice/Compression/Elevation. Done it many times!
-PICCOLO has two C's ANOINT only one N. No wonder I ain't in that spelling bee!
-From REO's to ALERO's, the Olds name lives on only in cwd's
-I sang next to a man yesterday who was ATONAL
-I'd be more likely to watch Diana's Avengers before the current blockbuster
-Have you ever heard of this Moolah? Man, I gotta get out more!
-C.C., those sit-ups seem to be working just fine!!

Hola everyone,
Just back from a 15 day grand tour of Spain with about 830 photos to sort and edit before sharing. That shows great reserve on my part, since I didn't snap everything I saw. There was so much to see and experience. It was our first time back there in 41 years since DH and I met in Granada in 1971. Since we celebrate our 40th later this year, we thought it an appropriate time to go.
Puzzle-wise, after a two week hiatus, I had relatively few pauses today, and none yesterday, though with the 100's of emails to deal with, and a pile of laundry, I didn't get to the blog until now. Good to be back.

Retroactive Musing
-I got that thing out of my CRAW yesterday when incredible circumstances put me adjacent to someone with whom I had an issue in our church's cemetery. I was very tactful and he and I had a wonderful resolution to that issue (yes, I can be tactful). Now I can walk down the street and greet him without that gnawing feeling in my stomach. I try to follow Ann Landers' dictum of "Is anything better because I say/do this?" and in this case the answer was overwhelmingly yes.

I was a staunch fan of the Beatles in the day, but like Hondo, never can remember song titles or most of the words. I just knew I admired their talent and loved their music.
The blog time is Central Daylight Time at this time of year.

Call me a nit-picker, but "Band on the Run" was not a Beatles song. Nor was, "My Sweet Lord" and "You're Sixteen". Paul McCartney formed the band "Wings" after the Beatles break-up. George Harrison made the "My Sweet Lord" recording after that break-up also. Ringo sang "You're Sixteen" but I am not sure whether it was recorded before or after the end of the Beatles. "Imagine" was a John Lennon recording. None of these songs are listed as Beatles' recordings. All were, however, recorded by Beatles members.
Thanks for the links, Sox!
As always, enjoy the day!

Good morning Argyle, C.C. et al.
Thanks for the fun write up, Argyle! I didn't "get" the Lady Gaga clip, either. But I was on your wavelength with the PANAMA and ELBA palindromes. (I always have to say the ELBA one to myself, to remember if it is ELBA or Elbe.) (Duh...)
I remember seeing the Beatles on Ed Sullivan for the first time. My sister and I pretended to be in a state of ecstasy when my parents returned home from visiting friends that night. Honestly, I didn't see what all the fuss was about at the time, but now I realize just how talented each of the members was in his own right.
This puzzle was a fine tribute, and I did breeze through it since I was familiar with all the songs.
Have a nice day, everyone!
- May 29, 2012 at 7:43 AM
- Avg Joe said...
That's the entire point, Mom. These are solo hits that each of the Beatles charted after they broke up.
Great puzzle!

- Steven J. St. John said...
Now that was a fun theme! I picked up the theme early with BANDONTHERUN / BEATLES, and so it was interesting to find out which other ex-Beatle songs hit #1. I like it when the theme makes you want to work the whole puzzle like that.
- May 29, 2012 at 7:58 AM
The clue was a hit by a
Beatles member, not by the group. Thus the clue is correct.

- Grumpy 1 said...
Good morning, Argyle and gang. Thanks for the expo and links.
No problems on this one. I figured out all of the titles after a few perps, so I must have been paying more attention to the music back then than I thought.
Welcome back Kazie. It sounds like you had a wonderful trip back to "the scene of the crime".
- May 29, 2012 at 8:06 AM
- Mari said...
I'm with Hondo and Kazie. I tried MY SWEET LOVE for 35A, even though I know the song well.
I liked the clue for 45D: Do-re-mi MOOLAH, even though I didn't get it at first. And Husker, yes I do know about The Fabulous Moolah. DH watches wrestling on TV. Moolah would appear on WWE every now and again before she passed away.
I also liked the clue for 40A: Ain't as it should be? ISNT.
When DH says I NAG I say BUTT OUT!

Re: 64A, now that my daughter is home from college, all of i sudden my PC keeps popping up "IP Conflict!"
Carrie & RIngo??? This explains the Blues Bros. scene where she wants to kill him. ( i can't find the scene where he gets out of this mess, its really good!)
- May 29, 2012 at 9:27 AM
This is unbelievable. I sent a whole section on this blog earlier. I just stopped back in to see what's cooking, and my post was not there.
I am not going to rewrite it. I did enjoy the puzzle.
Maybe I made an error.
See you tomorrow.

Good morning everyone:
Fun and easy Tuesday offering. Thanks, Jeff, and Argyle for your efforts and expo. Had one write-over, meted before doled. (I'm not sure if meted is even a word.)
Mari, what do you think of the latest twist and turns of The Killing? I think they've gone a bit over the top.
Happy Tuesday all.

Fun puzzle, Great write-up! Enjoyed all the Beatles stuff but I agree, the My Sweet Lord clip sounded more like Arlo Guthrie than George!
For some reason I had a horrible time in the lower left (SW?) completely spaced on Moolah, tholoved the clue when it finally came to me, and I'm not sure I've ever heard LLM?
Does anyone actually "get" Lady GaGa?

- Lucina said...
Greetings, puzzle people. Thanks, Argyle; you rock!
Wow! This was a sashay and like Gary I barely drank any of my coffee it was that fast.
My youngest sister who was about 13 at the time loved the BEATLES and played the records all day, every day so I grew to love them, too.
What a clever puzzle by Jeff Stillman, it's A ONE.
One tiny nit that ISN'T really; MATADORS is the anglicized version. In Spanish the plural would be MATADORES. In my head I want that extra syllable.
Thank you, C.C. for clarifying SUN for me. Would you then indicate the number to specify plural grandchildren?
Birthday party today so I must go.
Have a terrific Tuesday, everyone!
- May 29, 2012 at 10:18 AM
Same clue, same answer (7d) in NYT puzzle today. Didn`t know "bay leaf" came from a laurel...my learning moment for the day. Can never remember how to spell "ararat." Sorry my favorite Beatles" song wasn`t included: "Michelle."
Kazie, good to "see" you home. I await your pics.
BTW: Cluing "edema" as "botanical puffiness" made it harder (and less DF) than "anatomical puffiness."
We`ve seen a lot of cluing for "opt" lately, haven`t we?
In keeping with the bay leaf coming from the laurel tree (bush?):
How long was the Hundred Year`s war? Where are Panama hats made? From what animal do we get "catgut?" In which month do Russians celebrate the "October revolution? From what are the bristles of a camel-hair brush made? After which animal are the Canary Islands named. What color is the purple finch? From which country do Chinese gooseberries come? What color is an airplanes "black box?
- May 29, 2012 at 10:20 AM
BTW, in the newer format, longer line-length allows gabby people such as me to "say" more, but quantity doesn`t always equal quality. :)

A "black box" isn't black. I'ts bright orange so that it can be found in wreckage.

Got up early this AM...going back to bed soon. Guessed Beatles when clued 60s group and thought it can't be that easy. Got songs after filling in down clues. Didn't realize there was a hit from each Beatle until reading Argyle's blog. I was surprised to see young Carrie Fisher in Ringo's video.
Killed time by watching American Justice on the murder of John Lennon. Started listening to Cynthia Lennon's book on tape.
Remember sister and I dancing to Beatles' 45 records in our neighbor friend's basement. Middle school kids still dance to Beatles along with Brittany, Michael Buble, and the chicken dance. Much more ecletic then we were as teenagers.

These days Chinese gooseberries are Kiwis that come from the land of the long white cloud--New Zealand.
I've known about bay/laurel leaves ever since my stay in France in 1970-71. The French for them is lauriers: feuilles du laurier, in the diary that I used while there--it had a recipe for each day of the year. Some of them found their way into my recipe scrapbook when I got home.

Hi gang -
Never was much of a Beatles fan, but knew all these post-quartet titles.
Misplet ELBA as ALBA. Can't IMAGINE why.
Why the L does IDYLL have so many L's?
If I did 100 sit-ups after the shower, I would need another shower. If I could do 100 sit-ups . . .

I don't understand 26A "dais" answer.

All your items sound like ones that a friend of mine has put in a Philadelphia Newspaper. Is there a connection?

Fun Tuesday puzzle, thanks, Jeff. And of course, Argyle, for the great write-up. Got BEATLES early, but the songs took a while to fall into place--except for IMAGINE. Still enjoyed working it all out.
Thought TORERO and MATADOR were the same? No? I love animals too much to approve of bullfighting, so never looked into it too closely.
But I love Spain, even though I visited there only once: on my honeymoon in Seville! So Kazie, it's wonderful to hear of your anniversary trip there.
Anony-Mouse, fascinating discussion of OMAN. And Arbaon, your silly questions made me laugh.
Have a great Tuesday, everybody.

Abejo: No connection Of which I`m aware.
Kazie: Correctamundo!

Fun puzzle! Fun commentary, Argyle!
Fast puzzle today. One almost boo-boo when I saw all but the 2nd letter at 27A and started to put in an "N" then decided Enema probably was not a Rich approved word. Then read the clues.
C.C.: I'm impressed. I'm doing good to do one situp when it's time to get out of bed then hoist my leg over the tub. You go, girl!
Did you ever wonder who engineers LADY GaGa's clothes and shoes? I'm thinking maybe the wardrobe mistress that Circus Soleil fired.

Good afternoon to all and thanks to Jeff Stillman for a fun Beatles solo hits puzzle. Thanks Argyle for the links.Here's something from the college of musical knowledge,George Harrison was sued by the Chiffons as My Sweet Lord sounded a lot like He's So Fine. He lost the case in court. Have a great day to all. RJW.

Did not like puzzle . Counted 11 abbreviation or acronym clues. Not good for a Tuesday. Loved theme though. Red state democrat, awesome antidote to start week!

I'm a big Beatles fan so no probs with the song titles. I suspected something tricky was afoot when I saw the unusually high number of black squares, 42.
Suspicions continued when I saw the dual 7-letter entries at 28/30 Across and 44/49 Across. One of each pair was obviously connected to the theme---BEATLES and I ME MINE. But for the other two---PICCOLO and OCTANES---I couldn't figure out how they related to the theme.
They were the same letter number and were symmetrically placed with the theme entries, so I thought the connection would be revealed later in the puzzle, but it was not to be.
It gave a kinda unbalanced look and feel to the puzzle for me.

My two boys were four and seven when the Beatles first appeared on the ecene. My wife and I were still in the "Song from Moulin Rouge" so we didn't get it. Bot listening to these four and also their nore famous songs such as "Hey, Jude" and "Let it Be" sure makes we wonder what I didn't like about their genre.
The puzzle seemed to me about right for a Tuesday.

You'll be pleased to know that bullfighting is now banned in Catalonia (Barcelona area), and there's a movement growing for other areas to follow suit. Apparently bullfights began in a tiny town called Ronda, which is amazing for its deep gorges and a ravine which separate the town into two parts.

Hello everybody. I actually noticed the pattern of black squares and the layout of the grid today, to which I usually pay no attention. I guess it was a two globs of black on the left-center and right-center that caught my eye.
For some reason I laughed out loud at the crossing of DAIS and DIOCESE.
Almost, but not quite, had a Natick at BART (sport figure), ALTHEA (another sport figure), and BANDONTHERUN (which I was unfamiliar with). I guessed that THE was the only thing that made sense to fill out BANDON_ _ _RUN.
I love clues like "Ain't as it should be" and "Keyless."
MOOLAH made me think of Hatoolah. How are you doing, Hahtoolah?
Welcome back, kazie. So glad you had a good time. Lovely way to celebrate your 40th. Congratulations.

Good afternoon everyone. Good commenting, Argyle.
Little late to the party today after completing the cw this morning without incident. Not much new to add. Like others, I came to appreciate the Beatles' talent only long after they made their mark. Easy enough puzzle. Seemed to be a few more black squares than the norm. LADY Gaga seems like a nice person. Learning for the day was that bay leaf was a LAUREL. Wondered why PANAMA and ARARAT, each with 3 a's, were stacked. Perps seemed routine, though. Always like OXEYE in a puzzle.
Thanks Jeff for an entertaining offering.
Thunderboomers on the way.
Enjoy the day.

Hi all,
Fun offering today, loved the Beatles (still do)... very talented!!
The SW corner nearly did me in! I couldn't think what DO-RE-MI would be other than SCALES. I had no idea about Mt Holyoke or what those poems were. sigh. Other than that I enjoyed the puzzle.
Hope all of you are well, it's been quite some time since I last commented. All is well with us, I just took a 'puzzle' breather and now am back with fresh eyes but apparently not as fresh a brain (and it's only Tuesday) arghhh@!

Today is the 51st anniversary of the beatles performance at the Top Ten Club, 136 Reeperbahn, Hamburg, Germany. Lots of music with Sha Na Na, Legato and Lady Gaga who has made so much money that like Madonna, there is no point in criticizing her. She knows much more about marketing than we ever will.
I very much enjoyed the puzzle and Argyle your double palindromic perception was perfect.
It is probably not coincidental that the great Althea Gibson appears in today's offering, as the French Open isplayed at Roalnd Garros, as that is where she won her first grand slam even in 1956. She also went on to play professional golf on the LPGA, since there was no money for womens' tennis when she was young.
Do-re-mi and Moolah were both very common phrases for money in 30's and 40's detective fiction; I am not sure which came first, "Give your dough." or Do-re-mi.

I hope you don't think I was criticizing Lady GaGA. I wasn't. I recognize her genius and even like her music. However, as a former seamstress who did some tricky wedding finery and stage costumes, I really do wonder who dresses her? Does she do the designs? Some of the costumes would be very difficult and need some engineering to work right. To my eye, Circus Soliel costumes are the closest thing to what GAGA wears.
Gary: I'm glad you were successful in resolving your issues with a reasonable man. Those problems can really eat at a person. However, there are some people who are neither reasonable or desiring of peace and no amount of tact and diplomacy will help with that kind. Congrats!

Swarmed by paparazzi worldwide, their love affair was played out entirely in front of the media from the time they met on the set of the major motion picture Cleopatra, left their respective spouses, married and divorced, only to remarry and divorce once again. Despite their roller coaster romance for the public eye to see, Liz and Dick shared an undeniable love greater than most people could ever dream of.

Sure, Apple's iPhone OS 3.1 includes a couple of new goodies like MMS and iTunes-based App management, but if you like your Jailbroken or Unlocked iPhone, sit tight until Dev-Team gives the all clear. You could otherwise lose your unlock for good.
If you update to Apple's new software using the normal iTunes process, you will lose your ultrasn0w unlock. In fact you may lose it permanently, because for most people the baseband firmware cannot be reverted to a previous version (unlike the main application CPU firmware).
But don't worry…our PwnageTool program lets you update your main firmware without touching your baseband firmware, so you can still have the best of both worlds.
From all reports, you can still update to (and sync with) iTunes 9, but just be sure to mash "no" when pestered to update your firmware. [Dev-Team]

CNN's Piers Morgan rejects phone hacking claims
LONDON -- A tense and sometimes hostile Piers Morgan has refused to disclose details about the most damning link between himself and Britain's phone hacking scandal -- his acknowledgment that he once listened to a phone message left by Paul McCartney for his then-wife Heather Mills.
The CNN celebrity interviewer, testifying through a video link from the U.S., clashed repeatedly Tuesday with the U.K. panel investigating media ethics, insisting he never took part in the illegal phone hacking that has led to the closure of a Sunday tabloid he once edited and the arrests of friends and former colleagues.
The stakes were high for Morgan. More than a dozen journalists have been arrested, senior executives with Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. media empire have lost their jobs, and top U.K. police officers have resigned over their failure to tackle the phone hacking scandal.
His testimony was given under oath, and Morgan could be subject to criminal proceedings if he is found to have violated any British laws.
Morgan's defense Tuesday was part denial, part apology and a healthy helping of "I don't recall."
A key line of questioning centered on the comments Morgan made in a 2006 article he wrote for the Daily Mail tabloid.
In it, Morgan said he was played a phone message left by the former Beatle on Mills' answering machine, describing it in detail and noting that McCartney "even sang 'We Can Work It Out' into the answer phone."
Mills, who went on to divorce McCartney, has charged there was no way Morgan could have obtained the message honestly -- an allegation that could prove embarrassing to CNN, which brought the 46-year-old journalist on board in January to replace Larry King.
Morgan stubbornly refused Tuesday to go into any detail about the message, saying: "I'm not going to discuss where I heard it or who played it to me."
Pressed by inquiry chief Lord Justice Brian Leveson about whether he could provide any evidence to substantiate that he had obtained the message legally, Morgan said he could not.
"I can't start any trail that leads to the identification of a source," he said.
Before his U.S. television career, Morgan ran two British tabloids -- Murdoch's now-shuttered News of the World, between 1994 and 1995, then the rival Daily Mirror, which is not connected to the Murdoch empire, where he stayed for nearly a decade.
Much of Tuesday's inquiry focused on the time Morgan spent at the latter, which could revive earlier suggestions that hacking was not confined to journalists working for News International, the British subsidiary of Murdoch's global media giant, News Corp.
Although Morgan showed occasional flashes of humor, the atmosphere was mostly tense during Tuesday's questioning.
At one point Morgan said he "doesn't believe" he ever listened to hacked voicemail messages -- and rejected suggestions he had any contact with the private detectives accused of carrying out many of the tabloids' dirtiest deeds, saying his subordinates would have been charged with giving them assignments.
Morgan also dismissed earlier interviews about phone hacking in which he said that "loads of newspaper journalists were doing it" or that he had trouble condemning the shady practices of private eyes "because obviously you were running the results of their work."
Morgan told the inquiry that those statements were based on nothing more than hearsay and the newspaper industry's "rumor mill."
He said he couldn't say who had filled him in on the rumors.
"My memory's not great about this. It was a long time ago," he said.
Occasionally -- when confronted by written excerpts from his autobiographical book, "The Insider" -- Morgan accepted that some of what he had done had crossed the line.
For example, Morgan acknowledged he had made use of Benji "the Binman" Pelham, a freelancer who specialized in raking though celebrities' trash to look for scoops.
"Did I think he was doing anything illegal? No. Did I think he was doing anything on the cusp of unethical? Yes," Morgan said.
Morgan was also quizzed about the cozy relationship between Murdoch and former Prime Minister Tony Blair -- a line of questioning which drew a heavy hint that the News Corp. executive chairman may himself testify before the inquiry.
At one point, inquiry lawyer Robert Jay told Morgan to stop speculating about what Murdoch might have remembered about a particular incident in which the two clashed.
"We can ask him for his recollection of events when we get there," Jay said.
A spokesman for the inquiry declined to elaborate, and News Corp. did not immediately return an email seeking confirmation. In July, Murdoch gave dramatic testimony before Parliament in which he denied any responsibility for phone hacking at his flagship Sunday tabloid, which he shut in the wake of the scandal.
Meanwhile, News Corp. announced settlements with seven more prominent figures victimized by the paper.
The company said in a statement Tuesday it had settled claims brought by Princess Diana's former lover James Hewitt, ex-Liberal Democrat lawmaker Mark Oaten, TV anchor Ulrika Jonsson, model Abi Titmuss and Paul Dadge, who helped rescue victims of the 2005 London transit bombings. Theatrical agent Michelle Milburn and Calum Best, the son of soccer legend George Best, rounded out the settlement list.
At least one more settlement -- with former England soccer player Paul Gascoigne -- appeared imminent, according to lawyer Jeremy Reed.
The terms of the new payments were not disclosed, but they are likely to be substantial. Sienna Miller received nearly $157,000 (100,000 pounds) when she settled with News International, while the family of a murdered British schoolgirl, Milly Dowler, was awarded $3.1 million (2 million pounds), plus an additional $1.6 million (1 million pounds) from Murdoch himself that was earmarked for charity.
Police say the number of potential phone hacking victims could be in the thousands.
CNN broadcast Morgan's appearance live -- but only on its international station.

Lenexa PD investigates attempted abduction of boy
11-year-old ran to liquor store for help
Lenexa police are investigating the attempted abduction of a boy on Sunday afternoon.
"An 11-year-old boy was riding his bicycle along the sidewalk along 101st Street and he noticed a white passenger care with four doors drive very slowly past him heading toward the east," said Officer Dan Friesen of the Lenexa Police Department.
He said the boy said the car pulled up to him.
"It turned around and came back toward the west, pulled alongside of him and the passenger pointed a gun at him and said, 'Get in the car,'" Friesen said.
Police said the boy ran to a nearby liquor store and asked for help from the clerk.
The clerk told KMBC 9's Peggy Breit that once he realized what was going on, he locked the door to the business and called police.
Investigators said the passenger had to learn across the driver to point the gun at him, and he was the only one that the boy saw.
The boy described the vehicle as a dirty white 4 door passenger car, but he didn't know its make or model.
Police said the passenger who pointed the gun at the juvenile is a white male with a dark complexion, wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans. He had a small amount of facial hair. The gun was described as a black handgun.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS.

A dispute over a small island group heated up considerably this morning after China sent a government aircraft into Japanese airspace to surveil the uninhabited Senkaku Islands. Japan scrambled F-15s to confront the plane, which left without incident, but the two nations have traded diplomatic shots over the incident, CNN reports:
Japan has filed a protest with China over the incursion:
Japan lodged a protest against Beijing today, after a Chinese government airplane was spotted near the disputed Senkaku Islands, prompting Tokyo to scramble F-15 fighter jets, Chief Cabinet Secretary Osamu Fujimura said.
The Ministry of Defense said the incident involving a Chinese Oceanic Administration aircraft marked the first time a Chinese plane violated Japanese airspace, and threatened to escalate already tense Sino-Japanese relations, just days before a crucial Lower House election, where the conservative Liberal Democratic Party is expected to take back power.
The fixed-wing plane, marked "CMS" was spotted near Uotsuri Island in the East China Sea at 11:06 a.m. local time, prompting Japan's Air Self Defense Force to dispatch eight F-15 jets, according to the Ministry of Defense. Patrol boats in waters below warned the pilot to "stay out of our air space" over the radio, but the crew responded "this is Chinese air space," according to the Japanese Coast Guard.
The aircraft left without incident, but Fujimura called the move "extremely deplorable," on a day when Chinese ships were also spotted in territorial waters.
"It is extremely regrettable that, on top of that, an intrusion into our airspace has been committed in this way," he said.
Not to be outdone, China has now filed a protest as well:
China's Foreign Ministry said on Thursday that Japan should halt entries into seas and airspace near disputed islets in the East China Sea, after Japan protested a flight over the islands by a Chinese plane.
The politics of the claims and counterclaims is somewhat confusing, particularly since it is a rare point of agreement between Beijing and Taiwan. Both claim that the Senkaku Islands belong to China, but then again, both claim to be China. They are much closer in proximity to Taiwan and China than mainland Japan, but Japan has claimed sovereignty for more than a century, annexing them in 1895. No one much cared about it until 1968, when oil was discovered nearby, and sovereignty became much more of an economic issue for the uninhabited islands.
It seems unlikely that the two rational governments in Beijing and Tokyo would allow this to come to a hot war between the two countries, especially given the small stakes involved. Still, these kind of confrontations can end in very irrational ways, and further provocations from China might touch off something very ugly in the East China Sea.
