- My honest opinion is that there's waaaay too much black. Show a little bravado! Throw some color on that grill, be brave about it and use something uncommon, like orange and blue! pirate

Reviews: My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic S 2 E 24 Mystery On The Friendship Express
The Game Is A-Hoof!
Well, this was an improvement over last week's, that's for sure but still not as great as two weeks before. Pinkie has been hit or miss this season for me. First the good stuff...
- Yay, Fluttershy has lines again! I was actually worried she was gonna be mute again like last week, which would be even more jarring since her VA is rather prominent as Pinkie in this episode.
- Pinkie was tolerable, even funny at some points, possibly her best out of her three episodes.
- I figured out who the most likely suspects when I saw the preview clip. But still, better than something predictable like Pinkie sleep eating.
- Julia Child reference, I don't believe any kid will get that reference.
- The mystery aspect was thought out & clearly tried to treat the audience with a little more respect on this one.
- The cutaways were funny but felt padded & made the actual investigation and resolution rushed. Honestly, more time could've been spent on other plot points.
- I have to admit, I can see Rainbow Dash taking a bit, maybe Rarity, but Fluttershy is pushing it a bit. I mean she's the Element of Kindness for crying out loud. They know how important the cake is to Pinkie Pie & should know not to cave into temptation so easily. Still, it's not major character derailment as some episodes **COUGH MAREDOWELL COUGH** & at least they apologized.

Rethinking Modern Asia
Author Pankaj Mishra on the last 150 years of Asian history the West should really understand. Mahatma Gandhi, Ho Chi Minh, Mao Zedong, all historical figures with a huge impact on the history of Asia and the world but what about the people who inspired them?
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
"The re-emergence of Asia is challenging because of so many aspects of it. The kind of political motivations, intellectual energies, that went into the creation of nation states like China, that is almost entirely unknown in the west. Those histories have never really been taken into account" said Mishra.
Mishra's narrative describes the first generation of intellectuals, political activists and thinkers.
The first example that Mishra gives is al-Afghani.
"A hugely influential figure who is almost entirely obscure today. A man born in Iran, a Shi'ite who passed himself off as a Sunni Muslim in order to wield political influence in a range of Muslim countries.
He travelled through the entire Muslim world. India, Turkey, Iran, Egypt, Afghanistan, and became hugely influential in a number of these countries and gathered around himself disciples who went on to play in their respective societies like Saad Zaghloul, father of the Egyptian nation."
In the late 19th century al-Afghani could see the challenges that Muslim societies were facing from the West.
"He had seen this happen in India. He was in India in after the suppression of the 1857 mutiny. He saw how Muslim power and Muslim civilisation had been systematically destroyed by the British" said Mishra.
As time went on al-Afghani became increasingly frustrated at the increasing weakness of Muslim countries against Western imperialism. His more liberal ideas that included advocating for women's education were replaced by more radical measures such as Pan-Islamism.
Another example of a seemingly forgotten figure in the history of Asia is Liang Qichao.
"Liang was the first person, or one of the first people, to diagnose this peculiar nature of western power, and to prescribe what China needed to do in order to basically survive in the dog eat dog world of international relations.
Things were pretty bad for China if you cast your mind back to the 1890's, you had this extremely feeble, doddering old empire, incapable of internal reform.
People like Liang were really anguished by what they saw as this very revered, ancient civilization being humiliated in the ways it was.
Not just by western powers but also Japan at that point.
He came up with a range of ideas, from liberalism, liberal democracy, to Confucianism.. his intellectual journey is really fascinating when you think about the range of options available to the Chinese at that point.
And the range of options that are now being exercised today, like state capitalism.
This is not just history, if one wants to look at where the intellectual origins of China lie, one has to go back and not just go back to Mao Zedong, but to the initial dilemma that China faced" said Mishra.
Linda Mottram asked Mishra if this knowledge will fundamentally change how we view Asian countries.
"We will move away from these Cold War notions of countries like China, seeing them primarily as threats or enemies and move to more a sympathetic understanding of the particular imperatives Chinese leaders faced throughout the last century in creating a nation state and committing calamitous blunders in the time...
People in the west constantly think of themselves as having reached a particular summit of affluence and anyone else who aspires to that condition is deemed a threat.
We know that resources are very limited so the countries that are pursuing economic growth, which is kind of premised on this model of endless consumerism and endless growth, we are in some ways all headed towards disaster. Thinking of countries like China and India, primarily in terms as a threat to western dominance of the world is a serious mistake" said Mishra.
Another major historical event Mishra thinks should be consider in the modern history of Asia is the 1905 Russo-Japanese War.
"Japanese won that war very convincingly, humiliating Russia. News spread around by Asia very rapidly by the telegraph. Japan, the first Asian country to modernise, took on a white country in battle and defeated them.
We live supposedly in a post racial world but we had forgotten how deeply humiliating it was at the for many of the non white people's of the world back in the late nineteenth century to told that their societies were inferior.
This idea that Japan, a tradition minded country had become modern held a huge significance.
The history of modern Asia begins in 1905".

Jenny Lind –– Swedish Nightingale sang in Utica in 1851
Jenny Lind was born October 6, 1820 to an impoverished and unmarried mother in Stockholm, Sweden. Her parents were both musicians, and young Jenny began singing at a very early age. As a child she began formal music lessons, and by the age of 21 she was singing in Paris. She returned to Stockholm and performed in a number of operas. Throughout the 1840s her fame grew in Europe. In 1847 she performed in London for Queen Victoria, and her ability to make crowds swoon became legendary.
The American showman Phineas T. Barnum, who operated an extremely popular museum in New York City and was known for exhibiting the diminutive superstar General Tom Thumb, heard about Jenny Lind and sent a representative to make an offer to bring her to America.
Jenny Lind drove a hard bargain with Barnum, demanding that he deposit the equivalent of nearly $200,000 in a London bank as an advance payment before she would sail to America. Barnum had to borrow the money, but he arranged for her to come to New York and embark on a concert tour of the United States.
Barnum, of course, was taking a considerable risk. In the days before recorded sound, people in America, including Barnum himself, had not even heard Jenny Lind sing. But Barnum knew her reputation for thrilling crowds, and set to work making Americans excited.
Lind had acquired a new nickname, "The Swedish Nightingale," and Barnum made sure that Americans heard about her. Rather than promote her as a serious musical talent, Barnum made it sound like Jenny Lind was some mystical being blessed with a heavenly voice.
Jenny Lind sailed from Liverpool, England, in August 1850 aboard the steamship Atlantic. As the steamer entered New York harbor, signal flags let crowds know that Jenny Lind was arriving. Barnum approached in a small boat, boarded the steamship, and met his star for the first time. As the Atlantic approached its dock at the foot of Canal Street massive crowds began to gather. According to a book published in 1851, Jenny Lind in America, "some thirty or forty thousand people must have been collected together on the adjacent piers and shipping, as well as on all the roofs and in all the windows fronting the water." Barnum had succeeded in drawing enormous crowds to Jenny Lind before she had even sung a single note in America.
During her first week in New York, Jenny Lind made excursions to various concert halls with Barnum, to see which might be good enough to hold her concerts. Crowds followed their progress about the city, and anticipation for her concerts was growing.
Barnum finally announced that Jenny Lind would sing at Castle Garden. And as demand for tickets was so great, he announced that the first tickets would be sold by auction. The auction was held, and the first ticket to a Jenny Lind concert in America was sold for $225, an expensive concert ticket by today's standards and a simply staggering amount in 1850.
Everywhere she went there was a Jenny Lind mania. Crowds greeted her and every concert sold out nearly immediately. She sang in Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, Richmond, Virginia, and Charleston, South Carolina. Barnum even arranged for her to sail to Havana, Cuba, where she sang several concerts before sailing to New Orleans. After performing concerts in New Orleans, Jenny Lind sailed up the Mississippi on a riverboat. She performed in a church in the town of Natchez to a wildly appreciative rustic audience. Jenny Lind's tour continued to St. Louis, Nashville, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and other cities. Crowds flocked to hear her, and those who couldn't hear her marveled at her generosity, as newspapers ran reports of the charitable contributions she would make.
At some point Jenny Lind and Barnum parted ways. She continued performing in America, but without Barnum's talents at promotion she was not as big a draw. With the magic seemingly gone, she returned to Europe in 1852.
Editor's Note: It has been said that Jenny Lind was more popular than Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Sinatra and Michael Jackson. American glass makers put portraits of popular people on flasks to make their bottles more desirable. The type of flask used for the Jenny Lind flasks are called calabash type or shape. McKearin had Jenny Lind flasks listed in the Group 1 Portrait Flasks category and were numbered 99 – 107. All of the information and photos in this article were taken from the internet.
JOHN H. SHEEHAN, Entrepreneur and Pharmacist – Utica, New York By Fred Capozzella
Our area has been welcoming immigrants for well over a century. Here, they have found a place that offered them a new start and opportunities that were often not available in their home countries.
Many of them began businesses that enriched the community and years later, provided collectors with exciting memorabilia, relics of a time when local industry and business provided jobs, while company leaders were active in any number of philanthropic, church, and historical organizations.
One such immigrant was John H. Sheehan, born in County Clare, Ireland, in 1838. He moved to Troy, NY, with an unmarried sister in 1844, possibly after his parents passed away. When she married, he moved to Utica to live with an older brother, in 1846, and completed his education here.
By all accounts, he was an ambitious young man. In 1852, at 14 years old, he went to work for Uriel H. Kellogg, a druggist and grocer and remained in that firm until 1857, when he joined Dickinson, Comstock, & Co., also druggists and grocers. He worked in the drug department there and soon became a partner.
In 1865, he married. Sources indicate his wife was either the daughter of Peter Vidvard (dealer in wines and spirits), Josephine Vidvard, or the step-daughter of the Mr. Vidvard, Josephine Schaler. In any event, he joined his father-in-law's firm in 1868, about the time Dickinson, Comstock, & Co. became Comstock Brothers, Successor to Dickinson, Comstock, & Co.
That firm became known as Vidvard and Sheehan. Both bottles and stoneware jugs exist and are sought after by collectors. By 1879 he formed his own wholesale drug and liquor business, at 155 Genesee St.
Charles England and Philip Sweeney became his partners in 1884, creating John H. Sheehan & Co. After that building burned (1886) he moved up the street to 167 Genesee St.
Over the years, he seems to have trained, worked with, and/or mentored many area druggists. Collectors of Utica drugstore and medicine bottles will be familiar with Daniel Sullivan, Charles England, Eugene McCaffrey, William Nugent, and E. J. Martin, to name a few.
A bit of a mystery surrounds 1891. In that year only, we have Sheehan and Kelly (for Martin W. Kelly). Some bottles exist, apparently perfumes.
He retired in 1908 but kept an office, from which he managed his real estate holdings, which seem to have been extensive. He was active in the Fort Schuyler Club, the Yahnundahsis, St. John's Church, and the Oneida County Trust Company. His wife passed away in 1920 and he followed in 1924.
Since he was either a partner in or owner of several firms, we should not be surprised to find a substantial amount and variety of collectibles, from bottles and stoneware, through Victorian Trade Cards, postcards, and other ephemera. In addition, souvenirs, such as ink wells, are also to be had.
Several of his children are also known to collectors. One son, John P. (1868-1945), was a physician and liquor dealer, best known from his Sheehan's Malt Whiskey bottles, in several sizes. He was also a malt rectifier and dealt in drugs, medicines, and paints. He was educated at Georgetown University and the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, but seems to have been primarily a merchant. He was involved with the Sheehan Fruit Syrup Company, along with his brother Edward J. (1870-1919).
One of his daughters, Agnes Emily (born in 1882), married Leslie W. Brown, better known to collectors as L. Warnick Brown, of the very successful tobacco company. There are many highly desirable items extant from the L. Warnick Brown and its predecessor, Warnick and Brown tobacco companies. These include ephemera, tobacco tins, as well as paper-wrapped "bricks" of pipe tobacco.

A Model For Identity Negotiation Over Time
Reading through a journal article, looking for insights into the relationship between individual and social identity, I came across the following model:
Is this how you perform identity negotiation over time?
What I do is kinda different:
Step 1: I try to figure out who the heck I am, and how that compares to what other people seem to be saying about me.
Step 2: I try to act upon this understanding of who I am, and it doesn't work out.
Step 3: I look around to see how other people are doing what they do, and try to copy them. That doesn't work out either.
Step 4: In the meantime, social expectations, relationships, and technology all change. I go back to what I was doing, and wonder what I was thinking.
Step 5: I try to make up for all my confusion by getting extra sleep. It doesn't work.
Step 6: People look at me sideways and ask, "Are you feeling all right?"
Step 7: I retreat into a corner until people stop noticing me. Then, I slowly emerge, and go back to step 1.

It's kind of amazing short films aren't more popular. The barriers that stand in the way of feature-lengths — namely, cash, the crazy expensive cameras that cash buys, and the distribution costs that turn any leftover cash into debt mountains — are all but removed. So why, with the YouTube way we live now, aren't shorts more dominant?
Maybe it's the same reason why poetry has yet to see a Twitter bump — the practice of making quick work of images and words to convey a message isn't just economical, it's damn hard. That difficulty gets magnified on its way to the audience; all but the most straightforward of short films demand introspection that outweighs the fast act of, you know, actually watching the thing. There has to be meaning behind a 10-minute film. Otherwise, why watch?
Take the collection of nine LGBT films selected for the DC Shorts Film Festival, which closes this weekend. Within the group, there's a sardonically delightful spoof on religion (Purgatory Inc.), a quirky story about love and fortune cookies (My Good Fortune), a good old-fashioned fairy tale (Brookton Hollow), and a frighteningly stoic take on a bigoted Islamic patriarch (The Binding of Ishmael). While some, obviously, are more lighthearted than others, that's a lot of topic to consider.
Boris Kievsky's Purgatory Inc. coyly slides its weight through an admittedly wry premise — a paper-pushing clerk in a dark void processes new entrants to Purgatory, as an unseen corporate overseer watches. When Christopher (Patrick Cavanaugh) appears after what looks like an unfortunate rafting accident, the clerk employs some crafty filing tricks to get him into Episcopalian Heaven rather than Christian Hell. There's no homophobia in Purgatory, but plenty of ways to game the system. It's a witty approach to a touchy subject that manages to tickle religion without lecturing — unlike God's Pub, a more ambitious short also being screened at the festival that loses itself in vindication.
In My Good Fortune, a New York tough guy (writer-director David Marshall Silverman) treks down to Georgia to convince a gay fortune-cookie writer (Randy Havens) to go back to work. The characters lean a tad toward stereotypes and the premise seems awfully ridiculous, but something within it clicks — My Good Fortune has a take on love and relationships that's pitch-perfect for the genre. It sticks with you, even when there's nothing left to see.

Then there's Brookton Hollow, a rhyming-coupleted story about a lonely boy (Christopher Hills) and his only friend, a cow who transforms into a person every night. Writer-director Joshua Smith nails the fairy-tale tone, providing just enough detail to create attachment and empathy for the boy's plight. He knows he's different, but he can't confide in his stoic father. The cow-boy is his freedom, his opportunity to be himself — and when threatened, he's willing to risk everything to keep that freedom.
But, Taofik Kolade's The Binding of Ishmael serves as a reminder that risk can be deadly. The Singapore short opens in a car, following Azim as his father lectures him about the Quran and the need to obey its teachings. His absolute faith is alarming, more so when Azim unwittingly aids in the killing of his gay brother. While Kolade's message is obvious and beautifully executed, its depth is what carries through after the credits.
"He killed me first," the father says to Azim as The Binding of Ishmael ends. That moment — the weight, sadness, and shock of it all — is a reminder of what short film can accomplish. An instance that lingers for hours, a purpose beyond entertaining image and sound, an honest feeling that you can't ignore. It's what short film is all about.

For me "encouragement" represents a misplaced perspective. When adults have
an oportunity to participate in a water fight, I think it is that misplaced
perspective that gets in the way to stop them. Same for running around with
the dog, staying up till 2 AM in sleeping bags watching the stars, posing a
conversation between dolls, exploring with a magnifying glass. When children
are encouraged to learn this may be different than participating in their
learning process with heart and personal excitement.
Is my point clear? I hesitate to get on my soapbox to consider the weird
psychology that passes as maturity.

An inaugural fund-raising event in aid of local good causes begins next week and people are being encouraged to take part.
Alnwick Lions is behind the first Swim for Alnwick, which starts this Monday and runs until Saturday, May 17, at the town's Willowburn Sports and Leisure Centre.
The aim of the event is to raise funds for Alnwick and district charities and voluntary organisations, as well as the Lions. All money raised will be on a 60/40 split to each organisation and the Lions.
It is up to people to choose who they support for the event.
They can do it in their swimming lessons during the week, Aqua Zumba on Tuesday or swim at the Swimathon on the Saturday between 3pm and 9pm.
People are being encouraged to get a sponsor form and email organisers which good cause you are swimming for. A slot will need to be arranged. The Swim for Alnwick is suitable for all levels of ability.
Karen Hirst, from Northumberland Theatre Company (NTC), is helping the Lions to organise the event and will be swimming herself. She says she is a little nervous as she is going to be swimming at least 50 lengths, but NTC urgently needs a new sound desk for its 2014/15 shows.

Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut - PlayStation 3https://www.gameinformer.com/games/deadly_premonition_the_directors_cut/b/ps3/atom.aspxCommunity Server2013-04-26T17:01:00ZReopening A Closed Case/games/deadly_premonition_the_directors_cut/b/ps3/archive/2013/04/30/deadly-premonition-directors-cut-review.aspx2013-04-30T02:01:00Z2013-04-30T02:01:00Z

According to many of the conventional criteria – like graphics, controls, and animation – Deadly Premonition is a bad game. However, when it originally released on Xbox 360 in 2010, the cult hit from the mind of Hidetaka Suehiro (aka Swery) demonstrated that those things aren't all that matter. Gamers able to see past its technical shortcomings were treated to a rare and quirky murder mystery set in a haunting town full of strange characters. Deadly Premonition is more about the larger experience than the individual elements, and the director's cut faithfully translates the whole mesmerizing affair to the PS3 – with a few improvements.

Everything that fans love about the original is intact. Agent York is delightfully odd, the residents of Greenvale are endearing, and a Twin Peaks vibe runs through everything. The only new piece of story content is a series of cutscenes framing the narrative, in which an old man is telling his granddaughter the events of the game. Even though these scenes don't alter the core plot, the last one adds a new angle to the tale's conclusion that fans will appreciate. I can't say any more without spoiling the biggest reason fans have to return to Greenvale; it's a nice reward if you've been wanting to replay Deadly Premonition anyway, but it doesn't justify buying the game a second time.

Beyond the extra scenes, you won't find any new quests or major gameplay features. The controls are the biggest improvement; they are intuitive instead of clunky in this version, falling in line with traditional third-person controls that gamers expect. Possible additions discussed prior to the game's release – like York buying a house, and extra quests – did not make the final cut. However, other changes make Greenvale a more hospitable place for newcomers. The graphics have improved slightly, and a minimap reduces the amount of time you need to spend pausing the game to reorient yourself. These tweaks don't magically make Deadly Premonition a different game; the visuals are still conspicuously outdated, and navigation remains problematic since you can't place waypoints or even zoom out to see the whole map. I also noticed some audio glitches and graphical hiccups that seem unique to this version, but they aren't severe enough to poison the experience.

Deadly Premonition has its faults, but the quirky dialogue, self-directed exploration, and perfect pacing form an addictive and fascinating mystery unlike anything else in gaming. If you're a newcomer to Agent York's adventures in Greenvale (or found the controls too awful to tolerate on Xbox 360), you should definitely try Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut. It asks players to overlook a lot of problems, but if you can do that, it pays even greater rewards.

That Made The Cut?

The addition of 3D support and Move controls are exactly the stupid bullet points they appear to be and don't add anything noteworthy to the experience. Thankfully, they are both optional, so they don't do any damage, either.

GIJoehttps://www.gameinformer.com/members/GIJoe/default.aspxSwery Talks About The Revamped PS3 Version/games/deadly_premonition_the_directors_cut/b/ps3/archive/2013/04/26/deadly-premonition-preview.aspx2013-04-26T17:01:00Z2013-04-26T17:01:00Z

Depending on who you ask, Deadly Premonition is either a brilliant masterpiece or an archaic mess. I fall into the former camp; for all of its flaws, the 360 version is one of my favorite games of this generation. To say the least, this survival horror title inspires mixed opinions, and now PS3 owners get to see what the all the controversy is about. A remastered version of the game is coming to Sony's console courtesy of publisher Rising Star Games, and creative mastermind Hidetaka Suehiro (aka Swery) answered a few questions for us about this update to his bizarre small-town murder mystery.

GI: When beginning work on the director's cut, how did you decide which areas of the game to improve?

Swery: The first thing I thought was, "I want to be able to deliver this fantastic game to the PS3 owners too," but 2 years after the release of the original version, I started looking at consumer and press feeback and thinking that we might be able to improve upon some points which don't quite suit the recent video games movement. For example: the game's controls and graphics. That was where we started.

Praise for Deadly Premonition is often followed by less flattering remarks about the game's graphics or controls. Is that response disappointing for you, or are you just happy that so many people enjoy other elements of the game?

I am always ready and willing to welcome feedback from the fans that actually played my game, and always consider them to be right. The most important thing to me is whether or not they enjoyed the game. And speaking from a graphic and control perspective, I did take their feedback, comments, and concerns, and have translated them into Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut.

(Please visit the site to view this media)

Some people seem confused about the remastered graphics, because the director's cut is coming out on the same generation as the original. What about the visuals has changed?

Yes, I improved (changed) the quality of the graphics by giving most of the game a major texture overhaul, but I believe it won't change or degrade anything related to the fun of this game…if anything I am hoping that it will only enhance the experience. I believe the players who played the original version will wholeheartedly agree with this thought of mine.

The number of games in 3D has decreased in the last couple years. Why include that feature in the director's cut?

Mostly because I love 3D movies!

The director's cut is obviously perfect for new players. For those of us who have played the original, what should we look forward to the most when we play this version?

I would have to say the newly added scenario. I added an all-new scenario to the Director's Cut primarily for the really big fans of Deadly Premonition. I wanted to offer them something fresh while not deviating from the original version of the game. The new scenario will be fun and entertaining to the really big fans of the original and for those new to Deadly Premonition.

I love the original ending to Deadly Premonition. With the new story content, how significantly will it change?

Basically, I didn't want to change anything from the original story because I feel that it is already complete. But with the new scenario, those who played the original version will be able to get new, deeper look and translation into the world of Deadly Premonition that will be played out over the course of the Director's Cut.

After working on this game for so long, I'm assuming that you're ready to move on to new projects. Whether it stars York or not, do you see more of the Deadly Premonition in your future?

I am very keen on revisiting the world or Deadly Premonition and I am trying to find a way now.

I love you all!

Yes ma'am, white people do get keroids
Katherine Khorey | Wednesday, September 17, 2008
Working at a small independent bakery in a semi-gentrified neighborhood this summer, I had interesting encounters with every other customer. Some were a good kind of interesting (the lady who was en route to northern Michigan for her first ever kayaking trip), some were a bad kind of interesting (the people who complain to cashiers about prices), and some were just plain interesting (the residents of the nearby mental health facility).
But one of my favorite interesting conversations came late in the summer. A lady named T'Raina called in one day to request four loaves of six-grain bread. I took her order over the phone and, as I was working unexpectedly the next day, served her when she and her teenage daughter came in to pick it up. I handed her her bag of bread and asked, "Can I get you anything else, ma'am?
"I'm sorry, I'm just curious." T'Raina said, motioning to the area right beneath her own throat. "Are those keloids?"
A pause for two points of information. First, for those of you who slept through that slide in Common Human Diseases, a keloid is a mass of scar tissue produced by the body in a particularly overzealous healing of a wound. Keloids can occur in many shapes and sizes, from those resembling large stubborn pimples to huge fleshy scars that cover entire limbs. I have a few of the former; your Common Human Diseases textbook depicts the latter.
Second, keloids run in my family. Mine are beneath my own throat, a few inches from a childhood surgical scar that, oddly enough, healed up just fine. And, because I was on Xanga long enough to know just how much fun other people's medical stories are, those are all the details you need.
Anyway, I'd recently gone through a long process to get the keloids conclusively identified as such. Now it was pretty refreshing that T'Raina had diagnosed them at first glance.
"Yes, ma'am." I told her. "Those are keloids."
"Oh." She said. "I didn't think white people got those."
I was a little too taken aback to formulate a coherent answer, so I said "Um, yes ma'am, they're keloids. I inherited them from my dad." (My father's father's family came from Syria about a hundred years ago. This is as close as I come to non-whiteness and is all I could think of).
"Okay." T'Raina said. "I didn't mean to be intrusive. I just wondered."
"It's fine." I said. "I'm just glad someone knows what they are."
That was true. But the whole truth is there was something else I felt glad about. As I packaged up a few muffins for T'Raina, helped distribute the bags between her and her daughter, rang up her total and wished them a nice afternoon, I'll admit the guilty white liberal in me briefly danced a euphoric little solidarity dance.
It is true enough that personal problems of the keloid magnitude aren't limited to any one race, age, gender or sexual orientation. These form basic human common ground. Guaranteed, no matter who or what you are, you are currently struggling with at least one of the following:
Acne in the usual or perhaps odd locations, stale breath, inverted foot arches, stale armpits, hair that refuses to conform to modern standards of beauty, hangnails, aversion to green vegetables, aversion to red meat, self-righteousness, and that affliction most common to contact lens wearers with allergies: "eye boogers."
Thus we all struggle against the little imperfections. They may be the only things that people can agree they have in common.
Last week I watched dozens of people say good-bye to their families at the International Departure gate at O'Hare. Some went down the security line reserved "For Deployed Military." Some were simply leaving for a long time. One girl my age broke quickly away from her parents before the exchange could become too emotional. Watching all that, realizing that the rest of the world goes through the same hard good-bye, made my own leaving the country easier. Somehow, knowing that a struggle belongs to everyone takes some of the weight from your own.
Maybe that's because knowing you share someone else's struggle is a sure way to connect with them. So is a white girl with keloids – by virtue of them – automatically not a racist? Of course not. But she has a little more affinity for one of her bakery customers who happens to be black.
And in the mirror the keloids look a lot smaller than they used to.

The Conway City Council will continue its round of work sessions at 5:30 Tuesday afternoon in the Conway Police Department's upstairs conference room.
The council will hear from the city's parks, planning, permits, and information technology departments, and from the Community Development Block Grant director.
Conway ID department director Lloyd Hartzell said he will again brief the council on what he calls an outdated police/fire radio network.
The core of the radio's infrastructure is 10 years old and at its "end of life," Hartzell said. It failed three times last year, once while a structure fire was burning, and the last time it went down city workers "had to go to Motorola and search the entire company" for a replacement electronic board.
Radios in many of the city's police cars are also at the end of their lives, he said, and parts that are scarce now will be non-existent in the future.
Hartzell said he'd be prepared to give the council a "ballpark" cost to update the system.
Parks director Steve Ibbotson said he'll give an overview of ongoing and planned projects, and recommendations for renovations at older parks and a proposed new playground at Bainbridge Park.
Permits/inspections director Bart Castleberry said his office could use a more modern electronic filing and records system, but otherwise said he'll have little to report.
Scott Grummer, CDBG program manager, will give updates on the Markham and Pine Street redevelopment/rehabilitation projects.
At the last work session, held on April 1, city finance director Tyler Winningham "reiterated the fact that we had to cut $3 million out [of this year's budget]" to come up with a balanced budget — on paper, at least — "and remind them of what we did have to cut and get that fresh on their minds so that they can think about addressing it."
2014's "bare bones" budget means that any unexpected cost, including machinery breaking or accidents, will put the city budget in the red, meaning that reserves will have to be tapped.
At the April 1 work session, Winningham presented the council with options "that would help in years when sales tax is weak; so we don't have to rely so heavily on sales." These included raising the franchise fees (essentially taxes on utility service) on Conway Corp. electricity from 2.5 to 4.25% and creating a tax on water/wastewater utility at the same rate.
Winningham said that another option in addition to franchise fee increases would be increasing city property tax millage.
The city's budget is tight this year because of "flat" sales tax income in 2013. The city's financial philosophy assumes some degree of yearly retail sales tax growth, according to Winningham, and when that growth does not come to pass we get budgets like this year's.

Hackathon: Bringing Design Thinking and Agile to Life
Posted by Jeff Kavanaugh (View Profile | View All Posts) at 7:19 AM
Droning on...in a good way! Uplifting ideas from Team DroneIT
March Madness began a little early at Infosys last weekend with its first US Hackathon, conducted in the Dallas area. While the rest of the country was busy contemplating their NCAA basketball brackets, several intrepid teams were in their local office working around the clock to create working prototypes. What better way to spend a weekend?
Besides the lure of the champion's prize and the adrenalin rush of conquering a tough problem, this was a great opportunity to see Design Thinking at work in real time. It was amazing to see the teams start from essentially a zero base, armed with only an idea, and create a technology stack and demonstrate a working prototype in less than 48 hours.
The hackathon is also noteworthy because it offers a microcosm of formal projects and initiatives in general. If a small team can make so much progress in a single weekend, why do projects take so long? If so much can be learned testing low-fidelity prototypes, then why do companies wait so long to test solutions? To be sure, the typical enterprise project approach is not the all-night, caffeine- and sugar-fueled sprints of startup lore, but hackathon elements can be incorporated to improve and accelerate results in the "real world."
Hackathons embrace Design Thinking, a method for increasing the creative confidence of people who operate in an environment of ambiguity but also great opportunity, like the beginning of a product lifecycle or initiative. Design Thinking is the simultaneous consideration of customer desirability, technical feasibility, and economical viability. Who wants this product or service? Will it work? Is there enough value? The elements for successful innovation are knowledge, imagination and conviction. Many of us live and work in environments where knowledge dominates everything - in fact this is our core strength. However, knowledge alone works well only on well-defined problems, the puzzles of our world. Grabbing opportunities early requires grappling with a large measure of ambiguous problems, and requires knowledge, imagination and conviction in equal measure - these are mysteries, and problem-finding takes precedence over problem-solving. This allows people the courage to test ideas without having all the facts - prototype early and often!
Design Thinking brings in tools to release the shackles on your imagination, and encourages conviction by moving quickly in small steps, by learning from failure, and building on success. When a person has creative confidence, they are able to fully leverage their domain knowledge, but also articulate a vision, engage rapidly with stakeholders, make quick decisions, and succeed in new opportunities without being discouraged by early failures.
Meanwhile, back to the hackathon...the winning project was the intermodal terminal mapper using a combination of drones, image processing, and optical character recognition. Again, amazing to see such energy and progress made in a short time.
While the rest of the nation turns its attention to the basketball brackets, this group of hackers will move on to the next round of their own competition, accompanied by teams from similar events in offices from Palo Alto, Atlanta, and other major US offices. They remind the rest of us to 'prototype early and often' and to incorporate other hackathon principles into our own projects.

Hong Kong based luxury hotelier Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group unveiled today its brand new website, a beautiful surprise, given its wealth of improvements, both from a design / layout point of view and from a technical point of view. The overall feel is luxurious, but at the same time, elegant, subtle and in many ways, understated.
The layout and navigation are kept simple and very easy to use, some descriptitive text having been shortened from the previous version and made more concise. It is much easier to navigate the page of each hotel and much easier to find practical, concrete information. Those seeking detailed information on each destination can access the dedicated online magazine (separate from the main website), called Destination MO (there are easy to spot links on many sections of the website). Instead of listing e-mail addresses (old version), there are now easy-to-fill-in forms to contact various departments, especially the Concierge of each hotel.
Another major improvement from the previous website, are the photos. The new website is like a beautiful mirror of each hotel, with many new photos, most taken in day-light perfectly capturing furnishing details (interior design, technology, amenities etc) but also highlighting the views from the rooms, for instance. Over 80% of the photos on the website are new and hopefully, the old ones will be replaced soon. Many of the new photos feature "real" people (probably still models) that actually look like hotel guests, rather than the Asian female models that used to be widely featured. From the new set of photos, I was particularly drawn by those picturing families in various activities – these are the exact type of pictures which make potential guests dream but also add a warmer, welcoming touch for Mandarin Oriental, bringing it closer to its guests and admirers.
In line with the same philosophy of showing more openness, the corporate section of the website has also been significantly improved, especially from the point of view of adding new senior staff, each staff with a photo and a career brief descriptions. The newly added profiles are: Group Director of Human Resources, Group Director of SPA, Chief Information Officer, Group Director of Technical Services and Group Director of Food & Beverage. Introducing more members of the team not only serves the purpose of transparency but most importantly, it shows the company's strategic approach for the most vital divisions for a successful luxury hotelier nowadays: human resources, technology, quality of food & beverage and SPAs. By adding the "Group" name to the title, the company is also seeking to instill consistency and coherence at a group level. The level of experience and expertize of each senior member of the team is also re-assuring in terms of quality of staff.
Recognizing the importance of children and families, Mandarin Oriental has now placed a permanent section on the page of each hotel entitled Younger Fans. A set of beautiful photos picturing hotel staff interacting with children is placed throughout the entire website. The new section dedicated to younger fans reflects Mandarin Oriental's new program – wide range of amenities for children of all ages, baby sitting, dedicated food menus for younger guests, kids clubs where children can be entertained.
For those who prefer to save the presentation of each hotel and browse it later (often when not connected to the internet), each Mandarin Oriental hotel now has not only a presentation in English, but some properties like Paris, in Arabic and Russsian, probably among the top consumer targets for the respective hotel. Each presentation is in pdf format, easy to download and save on any type of device, even on a smartphone.
With the new website, Mandarin Oriental's long term marketing campaign "Fan of Mandarin Oriental" featuring several worldwide celebrities is eventually utilized at its maximum potential. Instead of the glossy magazine ads which feature only one celebrity (each), the new website brings together all celebrities, instilling a true feeling that those celebrities are not just endorsers but actually patrons of the Mandarin Oriental hotels. The Mandarin Oriental celebrity fans are carefully positioned within the dedicated concierge website Destination MO, with sensible and sometimes subtle connections – for instance, American Kevin Spacey is interviewed for the Destination MO website in London, speaking about his passion – theatre.
Considering the importance of the website as more than just the presentation of the respective product or service, Mandarin Oriental's new website successfully captures the essence of the brand and its values, aiming for the highest luxury positioning among the major luxury hotel chains, worldwide. The website is, at the same time, a new promiss which Mandarin Oriental makes, raising the bar of expectations even higher.

immortalized the haunted eyes of a 12-year-old refugee in a camp on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.
The girls piercing green eyes, shocked with hints of blue and fear, gave away her story. Soviet helicopters destroyed her village and family, forcing her to make a two-week trek out of the perilous mountains of Afghanistan.
This portrait summed up for me the trauma and plight, and the whole situation of suddenly having to flee your home and end up in refugee camp, hundreds of miles away, McCurry says of the photo that became a National Geographic icon after it was published on the cover in June 1985.
He had come across her two years earlier, while working on a story about the millions of refugees who fled Afghanistan during the Soviet invasion. That was also the only time he saw this nameless face, despite numerous efforts to relocate her after the camp she stayed in was evacuated.
Since then, this raw, untouched image has been used on rugs and tattoos, making it one of the most widely reproduced photos in the world, McCurry says.
I dont a think a week has gone by for 15 or however many years that I still dont get requests from people, trying to get information on her, he says.
Steve McCurrys career reached a turning point in the 1980s when, disguised in native garb, he crossed the Pakistan border into rebel-controlled Afghanistan just before the Soviet invasion. When he emerged, he had rolls of film sewn into his clothes. These images won him the Robert Capa Gold Medal for Best Photographic Reporting from Abroad, an award dedicated to photographers exhibiting exceptional courage and enterprise.
Since then McCurry has published books and covered areas of international and civil conflict, including Burma, Yemen, Kashmir, and Cambodia. He has won many of photojournalisms highest awards.
Most of my photos are grounded in people, says McCurry. I look for the unguarded moment, the essential soul peeking out, experience etched on a persons face.

Engine Mechanical problem
2003 Hyundai Santa Fe 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic
I have a 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe. Right after adding fuel to the vehicle it does not start properly. I have to press the gas pedal a good few times when that problem occurs (right after adding fuel) to get it started. After driving back from the gas station and take the key out of the vehicle the engine will "diesel" (idle) for a few minutes as well. I only experience these 2 issues only after adding fuel to the vehicle. I would think that if it were the fuel pump or filter (which are both in the tank) that it would occur more frequently. I'm very confused. Any knowledge and or insight is greatly appreciated.
have the same problem?

Abstract or Description
"Continuous stress monitoring may help users better understand their stress patterns and provide physicians with more reliable data for interventions. Previously, studies on mental stress detection were limited to a laboratory environment where participants generally rested in a sedentary position. However, it is impractical to exclude the effects of physical activity while developing a pervasive stress monitoring application for everyday use. The physiological responses caused by mental stress can be masked by variations due to physical activity. We present an activity-aware mental stress detection scheme. Electrocardiogram (ECG), galvanic skin response (GSR), and accelerometer data were gathered from 20 participants across three activities: sitting, standing, and walking. For each activity, we gathered baseline physiological measurements and measurements while users were subjected to mental stressors. The activity information derived from the accelerometer enabled us to achieve 92.4% accuracy of mental stress classification for 10-fold cross validation and 80.9% accuracy for between-subjects classi- fication.

|Official Title ICMJE
|A Multicenter, Double-Blind, Flexible -Dose, 6-Month Trial Comparing the Efficacy Safety of Asenapine With Olanzapine in Stable Subjects With Predominant, Persistent Negative Symptoms of Schizophrenia
|Brief Summary
|Treatment with conventional antipsychotics such as haloperidol has little effect or may sometimes even worsen negative symptoms (such as blunted affect, emotional withdrawal, and poor rapport) of schizophrenia. The newer "atypical" antipsychotics agents, such as olanzapine, have shown improvement in the treatment of negative symptoms in acute trials. The purpose of this study is to compare an investigational compound (asenapine) with a marketed agent (olanzapine) in the treatment of stable subjects with persistent negative symptoms of schizophrenia for 6 months. Patients completing this study may be eligible to participate in an extension 6 months of treatment. Patients are required to have stable symptoms prior to entry into study.

Brand: Innovative Percussion
The Innovative Percussion Sandi Rennick IP4001 Soft Marimba Mallets are constructed with smaller, uniquely weighted cores which produce a more focused sound and puts more weight in the player's hands. This allows for the sound to speak very quickly and works very well with an amplified keyboard section. The Sandi Rennick Series models are constructed on birch handles with a matte finish and are wrapped with a synthetic yarn durable enough to withstand the environmental conditions of the marching idiom.

Tame the trail.
Is it a heavy-duty running shoe that's inspired by hiking boots, or a hiking shoe inspired by runners? Either way, the Salomon X Ultra 2 Men's Hiking Shoe moves quickly over rugged terrain, letting you get to the summit, snap a photo, and cruise back down before the storm hits. The synthetic upper is lined with moisture-wicking textile and outfitted with Salomon's supportive Sensifit construction and glove-like Quicklace system, while the Advanced Chassis provides plenty of extra support to protect your ankles when you're zipping down tough trails. There's plenty of cushioning, too, from the Ortholite insole to the injected EVA midsole and footbed to the rugged molded shank. The whole package is topped off with a non-marking Contagrip rubber sole, which gives you loads of traction so you can confidently conquer wet, muddy, and rocky terrain.

Had just about given up in salomons as my go to shoes...these are AMAZING! Last 2 pair I got were junk, these were true to form. Nice to see ya back on track guys!
Outstanding Shoe
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

- Size Bought: 11.5
- Height: 5'11"
- Weight: 195lbs
I've had a pair of summer hiking boots that I've used for years in Pennsylvania but since moving to Utah I needed something that had more breathability. This shoe did the trick! My favorite part besides the lightweight design of it was the OrthoLite footbed, it really cradles your foot and gives great response to movement. I've used it in varying conditions from desert, high alpine, and plain old dirt. For me, the grip worked best in most conditions where I was on dirt/mixed terrain and not as favorably on anything too rocky (which clearly was not the design anyways). Although I love this shoe, not the best choice of grip for the area. If you want more versatility, go for the Salomon XA Pro 3D Trail Running Shoe - Men's. If you are around a lot of loose, muddy terrain where you need a lot of grip here ya' go! As for sizing, every other shoe/sandal I have worn a size 12 US (Vasque, Nike, Chaco, Astral) and a size 11.5 US worked best for me in this shoe.
works good

This shoe is amazing. It's everything that my Brooks Cascadia 11 was lacking. Mind you my 11's are still in my shoe quiver for hiking. Traction on the trail excellent. Fit no break in required unlike my brooks. Shoe laces fast & easy once you get used to the quick laces. Comfortable right out of the box amazing. Sensitivity not quite as good as my brooks, they're a little clunky, but hey I've been using a trail runner for backpacking and hiking not a dedicated trail shoe like this. I was needing a little more technical shoe, I'll test these out next time I need to scramble, stay tuned
Works on the AT!

I have had this shoe for several months now. My feet sweat a lot so I chose this non waterproof model to let my feet breathe. These have been so great. They fit like a charm right out of the box. Just the other weekend I wore them on the AT for an overnight with a 25lb pack and they held up great! The grip is fantastic when walking up a slick hill. I am looking at getting another pair soon.
Ultra x 2

Awesome shoe bought 2 pair. Use them for work almost everyday in the winter. Very comfortable and fits great , day after day. Fits pretty true to size, love the speed lace feature, especially how it tucks into the tongue pocket at the top. Highly recommend to anyone. Great product
Dad digs his sweet new kicks!
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
My dad was in need of some new hiking shoes, so I grabbed him a new pair of these Salomon X-Ultra 2 hiking shoes to get the job done. He seems to really like them. They seem like they're supportive and comfortable for a good day hike, but I wouldn't put them to the test on bigger backpacking trips with a heavy load on these for days.
Great for the casual hiker!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
This shoe simply kills from just being at work all day on my feet to walking around the woods for hours on end, i have yet to find a challenge i have not been able to conquer with these. I simply love them.
Great shoe

Wanted to move away from GTX during summer hikes. Was getting blisters. Shoe is light enough for comfortable walking and stout enough for rocky trails. I have done about 40 miles in Shenandoah on these so far. Platform is mid to narrow. You will either like or dislike the cinch system. True to size. Good shoe so far.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I had been looking for a really versatile hiking shoe that would look decent around town and hold it's own on rough, more technical hikes. These things fit the bill perfectly. Sturdy, yet comfy. I really like how the insole is a bit narrower around the heel, allowing the midsole to cradle the foot which translates to an incredibly secure feel. No slipping and sliding around in these puppies.
You can also tell that the build quality is great. I'm always looking at old pairs people are wearing to see what the durability would be like, and I'm always impressed with how well they hold up.
The tread pattern is nice and aggressive, and grips even dry snow well. Dirt is also great, although when it comes to rock my approach shoes might be a little stickier.
About the speedlace: I'm not sure how I lived without that before. Great for someone like me who doesn't know how to tie their shoes.
The 8.5/42 fit me as expected.
Salomon X Ultra Full Review!
Here is a Quick Video Review I did of the Salomon X Ultra!
Hike On,
Great shoe
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Height: 5'10"
- Weight: 160lbs
After a break-in period, I put this shoe through its paces on a 40 mile hike in rocky terrain. The X Ultra 2 is a very sturdy shoe that offers great support. I am a fan of the lacing system as it makes for easy on/off and adjustments. Very light and dries quickly.
Wish I hiked...
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Height: 6'1"
- Weight: 225lbs
..as well as these shoes support me. I have taken them on several hikes through the Blue Ridge mountains and have no complaints. The shoe stays tight on my foot and is as sturdy of a shoe that I have worn on any trail and is pretty solid stable when having to cross creeks & streams.
Dad loves it
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit: True to size
Gave this as a gift to my father, he loves it. He loves how light weight and nimble the shoe is while still being able to provide a solid platform.
Runs true to size.
What improvements and changes have been made from the original X Ultra model?


text: > Do I want to know why you did this? No harm in me telling you: the bootblocks are stupid. They allocate 4 (or so) buffers of MAXBSIZE chars each, which won't fit into 64k anymore. so i moved the boot blocks down. If MAXBSIZE increases to 64k (as it probably should in the long run, to == MAXPHYS), then this will break, but that won't be for a while yet. > Why don't you just move it to 4k? because i didn't know how far down it would be safe to move them. is moving them to 4k safe? chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Season 2012-13 Everton News
Blues hope Gibson is fit for Fulham
Everton hope they will have Darron Gibson declared fit enough to play against Fulham on Saturday after he was forced out of the action at half time against Sunderland last weekend.
The Irishman has had a persistent thigh problem caused by calcification on the tendon and he will likely require surgery to correct the it in the summer but the club's medical staff are managing the issue from week to week to keep him playing.
Moyes still harbours hopes of finishing in fifth place but he will likely need his first-choice eleven if he is to achieve that goal over the last four games of the season. Gibson has been an influential part of the Blues' midfield this season and was badly missed when he missed a large chunk of the winter programme on the treatment table.
Meanwhile, the player has learned that he will keep the goal he scored against Queens Park Rangers a fortnight ago. The Premier League's Dubious Goals Panel has accredited to him the deflected strike that gave the Blues the lead in a 2-0 win.

It did make sense (albeit it can be debated) to do so when we were still in with a shot at Champions' League. Now, though, the long term benefits of giving those players a rest, and learning a little about younger players, just seems like a no brainer...

Barkley should start for Osman - who received my praise when he was playing well, but has now been poor for a good while.
Hopefully Jags will be back.
I'm also desperate to see McAleny on the bench and given 15 minutes at the end. Surely we should be giving these lads snippets of first team football.
Also, I don't ever want to see Heitinga in a blue shirt again. He's a liability and should be sold at the end of the season.

* ''Pairings'': Primarily Quiche/Ichigo, but other pairings make appearances
* An amazing (and amazingly versatile) author, she's the rare FanPreferredCouple shipper in this fandom who doesn't feel the need to [[DieForOurShip bash Masaya]] to get her preferred couple together. She usually writes fluffy romance, but has dipped into tragedy, straight comedy, and even AU. Her mechanics, at least in her more recent fics, are great, too.

* Her best stuff, in my opinion, are her dark [=AUs=] (yes, it's possible there's a trend here), but her poetry also shows the basic understanding of rhythm that so many fan authors lack, and is some of the most readable fan poetry I've ever seen.

** Seconded by @/CelestialPuppet.
* All of her recent stuff is bizarre, dark, and frequently AU, and before that she wrote silly (but poorly-written) badfic parodies. Her stuff is just so ''weird'' that it's worth a look, even if the idea of, for instance, a ''Manga/TokyoMewMew Western'' doesn't interest you.

* She's best-known for her epic ''Mew Academy'' (see below), but aside from a proven talent for juggling LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, she normally writes R/I fluff. Her heavily-descriptive style can be a turn-off, but it also means she's great at establishing moods and building settings.

* ''Synopsis'': The Mews in a ''Star Wars''-style space opera, though both TheEmpire and LaResistance are [[BlackAndGrayMorality more morally suspect]] than that comparison (or, indeed, ''Manga/TokyoMewMew'' itself) would suggest. Mainly follows Retasu, now a ruthless servant of Deep Blue after some unknown tragedy, as she tries to destroy Pie, an alien rebel with whom she has a history, and Quiche, who has been locked up for years and escapes only to find that Deep Blue has turned Ichigo into a smiling vegetable. Like I said, ''dark.''
* ''Comments'': Dead. Also, despite the wild AU-ness of the premise, it treats the canon as its backstory, for some reason.

* ''Comments'': Unfinished. A fairly blatant homage to ''Literature/SailorNothing'' (which the author acknowledges as her inspiration) right down to the shifting [=PoVs=]. It's not a deconstruction of the genre itself the way SN was, but more of a deconstruction of ThePowerOfFriendship. And the author has hinted that there's no way to EarnYourHappyEnding here. The canon Mews don't exist, but Ryou, Keiichirou and the aliens do.

* ''Synopsis'': Akane, an ordinary Japanese girl, is enrolled in Mew Academy, a school specifically for Mews, run by the (now-adult) canon characters. The problem? Akane is actually an ''ordinary Japanese girl,'' and not a Mew at all. A mix of slice-of-life high school drama and more traditional action/suspense fic.
* ''Comments'': Unfinished. The sheer scope of this undertaking blows my mind. MA, aside from the faculty, is populated entirely by [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters submitted original characters]], and is already novel-length despite having gone through, so far, about a week's worth of in-story time. It's also worth noting that this is one of the few high school fics I've ever read that actually feels like it takes place in a school; as much attention is paid to classes as to after-school hijinks.

* ''Comments'': I'm one of those people that'll read whatever comes up on the page out of mild curiosity. I expected the rather cliche meet and proclaiming of love throwing the entire canon out the window. However, what I got was a very open ended oneshot with an original character in the beginning who wasn't (seemingly) a self-insert. Also, Lettuce had a genuine lapse of fear when Pai mentioned fighting and the fact she's no longer a mew unless Tokyo is in danger. There were some awkward places and a few typos but overall it was in-character and a nice read.

* ''Comments'': It's not as cracky as the premise would suggest, and Masaya is given a lot of respect. There's too much GratuitousJapanese for my taste, and the author was very young when she wrote it, which means that there are more typos than in her later work, but it's still the best example I've ever seen of the "Quiche uses supernatural means to seduce Ichigo" sub-genre.

We can turn our outbound notifications back on to actually start connecting people and focusing on growth (got some big plans there) as well as moving beyond telling you who you should meet to tell you where you should go out and get you free stuff there.
The company is celebrating the deal with a fun competition. Starting this week and running through February 14th, the company is hosting a competition to find the world's best matchmaker.
- Use LikeBright to match up your friends. You'll know best but if you get stuck LikeBright will make recommendations and share the reason we like the match.
- When a match pops up that you like, simply click "Yes!" and Likebright will set-up an intro. Your friends get a message from you offering an introduction.
- Each time a match you make "accepts" the introduction, your score goes up. The matchmaker with the most unique accepted matches at the end of the contest is the grand prize winner. The leaderboard tracks your progress in comparison to your friends

Last May 16, 2016, I was invited to attend the Media Conference of Star Cinema's upcoming romantic drama movie, Love Me Tomorrow. The movie stars Piolo Pascual, Coleen Garcia, and Dawn Zulueta. Directed by Gino Santos, the 2015's mainstream breakthrough director, and a script written by Jeff Stelton and G3 San Diego. Love Me Tomorrow is a generational love story that recognizes the enduring of true love.
The movie aims to see if love could really reduce the differences that separates them in different aspects of life.
