Suzanne Rogers: My last show was on a Friday. Saturday morning when I woke up and went into the bathroom, I looked like I had had a stroke. One side of my face had just completely fallen. I freaked out because this was on a Saturday and you can't reach any doctors on Satuday or Sunday. By Monday that side wasn't like that, and the other side was like that. The bottom line is that it comes from stress. And I was going through this upheaval on the show—of being pushed to the back. I had gone through a divorce and these things were coming all at the same time. And my body was breaking down. It was stopping.
We Love Soaps: I didn't know there was a connection between this disease and stress.
Suzanne Rogers: Oh, yes. Almost every neuromuscular illness is triggered by some form of stress. And yes, we all have stress every single day. It's not that kind. It's a stress that is monumental. A lot of things coming together at one point and then the body just stops. And that's kind of what it was. I said years later that it was God tapping me on the shoulder saying, "Slow down." It was just bizarre.
They started me on Pednisone. It's a medicine you get weaned on to and then they usually they don't wean you completely off, they make you take it for the rest of your life. I went on it in 1984 and I didn't take the last pill until 1995. I basically stopped taking it myself. I kept having these dreams about where I was in the state of the pills—what milligram I was on. So finally, [the doctor] got very fed up with me. He said, "Your doctor from Virginia keeps his patients on 10 mg for the rest of their life." And I said, "Well, doctor, I've already had a dream that I'm going to be taking a 5 mg [dose] and breaking into 2 1/2." I would not let them put any bad negative thoughts into my mind that I wasn't going to get off this medicine.
So I went back to the show [in 1985] still being on this horrific medicine. That's why I looked so terrible and the audience went nuts. They said, "What is wrong with her? Is she drinking?" They only basically shoot you from your waist up, and I looked terrible. The camera does add a certain amount of weight. And here I am with this big round full face. And my hair was falling out. You name it, that was going on. It was hard for me to look at myself on the air. So I cut the dosages down. And we're talking a year at a time. We're not talking daily. It was '84 to '95. That's eleven years of taking this medicine in different increments.
We Love Soaps: Having been so physically active and dependent on your body, how did you cope with the loss of physical ability?
Suzanne Rogers: I had to go to therapy every week for a year because I had to find out what caused this. They kept saying, "Stress, stress..." Well, everybody has stress. That's not an answer. It's just things that had happened. I had never been a person to talk about things, I always kept everything in. What came out was, the relationships, with...you know my father and I weren't real close. But it was about relationships with my father, about how the show was changing, and the fact that I had gone through a divorce. And all three of those things combined were things I had kept to myself and not voiced to anybody. This is what came out. And this was the beginning of the healing for me. I prayed all the time, and all my fans and friends were praying daily for me to get better, to get well, just to live! I mean I literally stayed in my house. I couldn't answer the phone because I was unable to speak, and people would hang up thinking they had the wrong number. I had this garbly-garb that would come out. I thought I was being pretty understandable, but they couldn't understand me.
We Love Soaps: So are you saying that by getting into therapy and facing these issues, that that helped you to heal and manage this disease?
Suzanne Rogers: Yes. I didn't want anyone telling me that I couldn't do something. Probably the best thing was the doctor that I had because he was being very clinical. "You are never going to back to being in front of a camera again. You are never going to get over this. You are never going to go off these medications." Because of him [saying] that, the dander went up, the red hair, the Irish temper, the German that was in my family from my dad. All of that bucked him. I wasn't going to listen to him. It kind of gave me a strength. I wasn't going to have anyone tell me I couldn't do it.
We Love Soaps: That is so inspiring for me.
Suzanne Rogers: I felt like, "No! I'm not going to roll up and die. I'm not going to roll up and do nothing for the rest of my life." I was too young, and I loved what I did too much. And I prayed, I really prayed a lot. I went to church all the time and my prayer was first to God to get him to put a name on this. Then when that happened, I prayed, "If I'm supposed to be in this business, then get me well enough to do it again. But if I'm not, then get me well enough to do whatever it is you want me to do. Just tell me what it is, give me some sign to get me to know what I was supposed to do."
We Love Soaps: And what was that sign?
Suzanne Rogers: [DAYS Executive Producer] Al Rabin called me and asked me to come back to the show. I said, "You need to see me." Because I did not look like I did when I left the show. You must remember that when I left the show I was running 10Ks and I was thin. I was at about 115 lbs. When I went back on the show I was 130pounds. So there was a big difference, plus the bloating on my face from the medication. The first time I saw myself on television I didn't know who it was. Then when I realized it was myself I turned off the television and cried. It was unbearable for me to look at it. And so I thought, well, God has gotten me this far, I'm back on the show, so I guess this is what I'm supposed to see. So I turned the TV back on. You just have to have faith, that's what it boils down to. I know that sounds very cliché and people said, "Oh yeah, right," but you've got to believe it.
We Love Soaps: One might think that returning to the show and being backburned again for so many years would be a source of stress. Was it?
Suzanne Rogers: You know, every day I woke up and didn't have a symptom was a good day. So I didn't have a lot to do on the show. But, I was there. [Pause] I got a lot of strange reactions from people on the show. That hurt me more than not having much to do.
We Love Soaps: Strange reactions?
Suzanne Rogers: When people don't understand something they say things, and you go, "Where did that come from?" I don't want to get into it. But that was more hurtful than the way I looked.
We Love Soaps: You've mentioned many times how horrible you thought you looked when you came back to the show. But I remember the 1986 double Valentine's wedding to Mickey and I thought you looked great. To me you looked so beautiful and radiant, yet you look back at that and see something different.
Suzanne Rogers: When we did that double wedding, you can see my cheeks really plump. Of course they did an amazing job with make-up trying to make me look better than I actually did. We're always more critical of ourselves. But it was hard. Eventually you go, "What's my choice here? What's the alternative?" I figured since they were encouraging enough to invite me back, I had to give it a shot.
I don't know what the audience reaction was but I guess it was pretty bad because they came to me six months later and they said, "The audience wants to know what's going on with you so we're going to have Mike Horton diagnose you with this illness." I said "Okay, but only if it has a happy ending. I have to get well. I want it to end that I'm well." And so, that's what they agreed to do. There was a story with me not being able to speak, not being able to talk, and they actually used it. So the days I was having problems were the days that seemed to be going on [for Maggie]. They did write it in. And that's why so many fans got wind of it. Now to this day I'll get calls from people or notes in my mailbox from people who have it or loved ones of people who have it. It's ongoing, and that's because the show did the storyline.
Please come back tomorrow for Part Four in which Suzanne Rogers talks about managing stress after the "death" of Maggie.

Seafood may come from the water, but nothing brings out its briny succulence like the high, dry, smoky heat of the grill. This truth is readily apparent on the beaches of Brazil, at the waterfront grill stalls in Asia, and the seaside communities of the Yucatan. Here are three great grilled seafood dishes that solve the age-old problems of fish sticking to the grill grate or breaking apart when you go to turn it: Brazilian coconut grilled shrimp, Asian garlic grilled halibut, and snapper grilled in banana leaves, Yucatan-style. And grilled asparagus rafts make an appropriately nautical accompaniment. Brazilian coconut shrimp kebabs; Garlic-sesame halibut; Asparagus rafts; Snapper grilled in banana leaves.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — His Baltimore Ravens had just held Tom Brady and the high-powered Patriots to 13 total points —- and a scoreless second half.
Corey Graham was taken aback.
"Is that what happened?" said Graham, a University of New Hampshire grad, throwing back his head in disbelief. "I didn't even know that."
This we know: after Baltimore's 28-13 win in Sunday's AFC Championship game, Super Bowl XLVII will have threads to the Seacoast.
Graham, a four-year starter for the Wildcats from 2003-06, is heading to New Orleans to face the San Francisco 49ers. A year ago at this time, he was a Chicago Bear, in Hawaii and preparing for his first Pro Bowl. He was invited as the NFC's "special-teamer."
Now a Raven, he's peeled that label off like a used Band Aid.
With 11 tackles — second only to Ray Lewis' 14 in the game — Graham continued a career-defining season in his first true stint as a defensive starter. Stepping up an injury-riddled secondary since Week 10 of the regular season, he's gotten back to his play-making days with the Wildcats at old Cowell Stadium.
Last week, he picked off Peyton Manning twice, once for a touchdown and once in overtime, to help the Ravens take a 38-35 win in the divisional round. On Sunday, he held his own against Wes Welker in the slot, going head-to-head with one of the greatest quarterback-receiver tandems in NFL history.
"It was fun," Graham said of facing Welker. "They look for him a lot. He does a lot of double moves. He does a great job as a receiver of trying to get open. I knew what it was going to be like. I knew what he was going to try and do. You just have to be physical with him, put your hands on him and be physical."
It was all part of a Ravens' defense that batted the ball and battered the Patriots into mistakes. They intercepted Brady twice, recovered a fumble and smothered an offense that led the NFL in points (34.8) and yards (427.9) entering Sunday's championship.
"We knew we had to play at an elite level to win this game," Ravens corner Cary Williams said. "Everybody just stuck together and stayed positive and continued to play the way we normally do."
New England's lone touchdown came in the second quarter, a 1-yard pass from Brady to Welker that left Graham hollering at teammate Chykie Brown. Graham appeared to signal to his teammate before the snap, but Brown cleared out on a crossing pattern by Brandon Lloyd and Graham watched Welker score on an easy pitch and catch to the front pylon.
"It was just a situation where... they shouldn't have got it," Graham said of the play. "They did exactly what we knew they were going to do, and it should have been an interception to the house the other way. We knew exactly what that play was. We knew exactly what was going on. It was just a little miscommunication."
In a game that boiled down to secondary play —like the Patriots' inability to stop Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco in the second half — it was Graham and the Ravens who got things right.
Graham started his 11 straight game on Sunday and has now contributed 86 tackles, four interceptions, a forced fumble and a touchdown for the Ravens.
And he's not done yet.
"It feels amazing," Graham said of reaching the Super Bowl. "We came in here, no one thought we could do it, and we did the impossible."

Hello My Antique Friends,
Well, I have had this piece in the basement for quite a long time, probably a tag sale purchase. I purchased it with detective work in mind and somehow busy with other pieces, it got lost in my jungle of antiques.
What I do know is the following. This is Elkington, I know by the markings its 1884 that's the year of the Y. I have done a ton of research and I am still befuddled! Why the stars on the backsides by the handles? And the ever so faint etching under the logo? The number 311, with a slash looking etch in the center of the backside? I have investigated the badger and motto, I understand the meaning, but don't understand what family it belongs to. I also curious about the stars as they seem to fit Joseph Seymour's logo! ANYONE? I look forward to the input.
Thank You,

2013 Best Resale Value Award Winners Announced By Kelley Blue Book
KBB.com Offers Advice on Choosing New Cars Predicted to Maintain Value over Five-Year Ownership Period
By: PR Newswire
Nov. 26, 2012 05:00 AM
IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2013 model-year vehicle winners of the annual Best Resale Value Awards, recognizing current and forthcoming vehicles for their projected retained value throughout the initial five-year ownership period, were announced today by Kelley Blue Book, www.kbb.com, the leading provider of new and used car information. Since depreciation (or loss of value) is typically a car buyer's primary expense during ownership, these awards, like all of KBB.com's new and used vehicle information, are designed to help consumers make more informed car-buying decisions.
To view the multimedia content associated with this release, please click: http://www.multivu.com/players/English/58376-kelley-blue-book-kbb-2013-best-resale-value-awards/
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121126/MM15562LOGO )
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121108/LA08161LOGO )
Kelley Blue Book's Best Resale Value Awards are based on projections from the Kelley Blue Book® Official Residual Value Guide, determined by a skilled staff of automotive analysts. These prestigious awards honor vehicles expected to maintain the greatest proportion of their original Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) after five years of ownership. Low-volume vehicles and vehicles with a MSRP of more than $60,000 are excluded from award consideration, except in the luxury and high-performance categories.
(Residual values used for award calculations are based on the November/December 2012 Kelley Blue Book® Residual Value Guide. Top 10 models appear in alphabetical order).
While most car buyers today consider sticker price one of the most significant numbers when choosing a new vehicle, the editors at Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com recommend that shoppers consider a number they won't find on any window sticker: the resale value. Depreciation often is the greatest expense incurred by drivers during the first five years of vehicle ownership. An average 2013 model-year vehicle only will retain about 38.6 percent of its original value after a five-year ownership period, meaning that a $50,000 new car today will only be worth somewhere close to $19,300 after five years. Vehicles with average or below-average resale values are generally plentiful in the marketplace and easy to find. But certain vehicles are projected to hold their value better than others. While much of a vehicle's resale value is based on supply and demand, as well as current and projected future market conditions, vehicles that retain their value best are rarely discounted and tend to generate high levels of consumer interest.
"The competition for Best Resale Value within many segments has become very heated in the last few years, as major vehicle redesigns and new model introductions have challenged the traditional favorites," said Eric Ibara, director of residual consulting for Kelley Blue Book. "However, for the second year in a row, Toyota and Lexus retain the top Best Resale Value ranking for both non-luxury and luxury brands, based on the average 60-month residual value across all models in each brands' respective lineup. Combined, there is an impressive total of 12 Toyota and Lexus models bringing home 2013 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards this year; half of the Top 10 models with Best Resale Value for 2013 hail from either Toyota or Lexus."
Vehicle shoppers should take several factors into consideration when buying a new car to ensure as much future value as possible. Just because a car is expensive or from a luxury brand does not necessarily mean it will hold its value better than an inexpensive car down the road. In fact, because resale values are calculated as a percent of original MSRP, an expensive vehicle has to command a relatively high price later as a used car to maintain its residual value. For example, a $60,000 vehicle has to be worth $21,000 five years later to have a residual value of 35 percent. At this price point, not only will it compete with other used luxury vehicles, but it also will compete with some new vehicles in the marketplace. Meanwhile, an $18,000 new vehicle only needs to be worth $6,300 five years later to have the same 35 percent residual value, and at that price point it will not compete with new vehicles.
"Getting the most for your money means knowing what your car will be worth when you sell it, not just what it's worth when you buy it," said Jack Nerad, executive editorial director and executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com. "Vehicle depreciation is a new-car buyer's biggest expense, yet many shoppers don't realize that resale value information is available for free on Kelley Blue Book's KBB.com. Taking the time to research and wisely choose vehicle makes, models and options now can help new-car shoppers get as much money as possible when they sell or trade-in the vehicle in the future."
In addition, most options and packages added to a vehicle do not necessarily increase its resale value. However, there are exceptions to the rule, such as a high-performance engine or a performance package in a sports car. Finally, regional preferences can significantly impact the value of a vehicle. In the colder sections of the country, a two-wheel drive vehicle's resale value will not be as high as a four-wheel or all-wheel drive option of that same model. At the other end of the thermometer, in warmer climates black (or dark-colored) cars will not have as high resale value as they could command in other regions.
While the company's Residual Value Guide has been published since 1982, Kelley Blue Book established its annual Best Resale Value Awards in 2003. Kelley Blue Book reports projections based on current vehicle data, relevant auction transactions, sales data, market conditions for each vehicle, competition within vehicle segments, expectations of the future economy and the combined experience of Kelley Blue Book's residual analysts. Residual values reflect projected future auction values for vehicles in average condition with 75,000 miles at the end of a five-year lease or ownership period. Kelley Blue Book's residual values are used by manufacturers, banks, financial institutions, and the automotive leasing industry.

Years of warrants have piled up in the Bay County Sheriff's Office and now they're cleaning house. It's a program called "Catch Me if you Can" and in four days deputies have issued more than 200 warrants.
Of those more than 200 served, deputies arrested about 150 people for their outstanding warrants. The problem is there are about 37,000 outstanding warrants in Bay County.
Sheriff McKeithen says the problem is many of the warrants are issued for people who do not show up for a court date after they were arrested for something during spring break. He says many of those people just leave when spring break is over.
The sheriff's deputies are the only agency in Bay County that can serve a warrant so the backlog comes from more than just Sheriff's Office cases. In the last four days deputies have tried to make some headway into the giant stacks of outstanding warrants.
Despite jail overcrowding, Sheriff McKeithen says this is as good a time as any to take on the enormous task. He says they can't stop arresting criminals because the jail is full.
Just to give you an idea of how bad the backlog is, Sheriff McKeithen says they found a warrant with a handwritten note from Dock Daffin. Daffin's last year as Bay County Sheriff was 1968!
Sheriff's deputies will continue the "Catch Me if you Can" program after spring break season.

Meeting of the Lord
The Presentation of Christ into the Temple is one of the Great Feasts of the Orthodox Church, celebrated on February 2. In Eastern tradition, it is often called The Meeting of Our Lord and God and Savior, Jesus Christ, because the hymns emphasize the incarnate God, the Lord Jesus Christ, meeting with his people, Israel, in the persons of the Prophet Simeon and the Prophetess Anna.
In the Gospel of Luke 2:22-35, Mary and Joseph took the infant Christ to the Temple in Jerusalem. He was received in the arms of the elder Simeon, who then prayed, "Now let Thy servant depart in peace... for I have seen Thy salvation." This was one of the things that Mary "pondered in her heart" -- the fact that others recognized that her Son was the Messiah.

2008 Educated Guess Cabernet Sauvignon
Frankly the label is still one of my favorites, and makes me a bit nostalgic because you don't see chalkboards that often these days. Yes, whiteboards are easier and don't involve a lot of dust, but I love the classic slate and chalk as well as that palimpsest quality you get from the previous erasures. There's also the ritual of the chalkboard: you begin the semester with soap and water, washing it all. You carefully shake a stick of chalk out of the pack--heavier than a cigarette, but more delicate. Do you bang the erasers together or whack them against a brick wall? Chalk dust accumulates in dunes down in the rail, and at the end of the semester, it's time for another thorough washing.
We enjoyed this wine with a set of ribeyes, creamed spinach, and wedge salads, as God intended.
2008 Educated Guess Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley
$20, 14.5% abv.
89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot
Please give this at least half an hour to breathe. It doesn't necessarily need to soften, but it requires a short period of time to fully open up so that you can enjoy all the characteristics. There's a rich mix of leather, licorice, and black cherry. Underneath there is a touch of toasted caramel. On the palate, the wine has a deep black cherry and spice flavor with medium tannins and just a little acidity. This is a California Bordeaux-style blend done right at an incredible price. Highly recommended.

When we were tasted on this wine I told our domestic buyer that he had to bring it in. As you may have guessed, it is not my style but I knew it would be easy to sell and that people were going to love it. Been running with it for about a year now and it's always on the reorder list. Nice little go-to under $20.00 Cabernet for us.

Damn straight. It's one of those that I need to keep an eye on so I don't go another couple of years without trying.
I think it has a lot in common with Chateau Greysac. Not necessarily flavor-wise, but a solid wine from a good region at the $20 range, and a reliable choice if you need to bring something to dinner or give as a housewarming gift.

like Samantha, I gotta say, "not my style." but man folks love this wine... Tracie P and I tasted with the dude once in Napa... not exactly the most soulful wine I've ever tasted, but they sure love it down here in Texas... blog on, brother...

Old world, new world, schlemiel, schlemazel... For me it tends to depend on what mood I'm in. I'm sure you get this question a lot: "What kind of wine do you like?" I always reply, "What's the weather like, what am I eating, and who am I dining with?" Because it's going to be a different answer based on a lot of different factors.

PRINCETON, N.J. – Harvard junior quarterback Colton Chapple (Alpharetta, Ga.) has been named the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week while teammates Alex Sarkisian (Valparaiso, Ind.) and Will Whitman (Lexington, Ky.) were named to the Honor Roll.
Chapple posted the second-highest, single-game passing mark in school history with 414 yards on just 23 completions in a 41-31 win at Cornell. Chapple threw three touchdown passes in a seven-minute stretch in the second half to bring Harvard back from a 24-20 deficit to lead 41-24. He totaled four scores through the air on his career day. His performance marks the 50th time in Ivy League history that a QB has thrown for at least 400 yards.
It marked the team's first 400-yard passing day since Nov. 2, 2002 when Neil Rose was 36 of 50 for 443 yards and 3 TD against Dartmouth.
Chapple had four favorite receivers, Sarkisian, Chris Lorditch, Cameron Brate and Kyle Juszczyk - all of whom had at least 80 receiving yards.
Sarkisian (7 receptions, 117 yards, 1 TD) and Lorditch (4 receptions, 103 yards) became the first Harvard receiving duo to go over 100 yards since Nov. 8, 2008 when Matt Luft (6 receptions, 110 yards, 1 TD) and Levi Richards (7 receptions, 102 yards, 2 TD) did the trick against Columbia.
Sarkisian and Lorditch combined with freshman Seitu Smith III to become Harvard's first trio to have more than 100 all-purpose yards since that Nov. 8, 2008 game against Columbia when Luft, Richards and Adam Chrissis (10 run, 69 rec, 46 kr - 125 total) accomplished the feat.
Whitman meanwhile, becomes a rare offensive lineman appointee to the weekly honor roll. He is the first freshman offensive lineman to start under head coach Tim Murphy and he has played every snap thus far in 2011. More than that, he has been impenetrable; at Cornell he had 10 knock down blocks and did not surrender a pressure or knock down of Chapple.
Harvard returns home to The Stadium this weekend with a 1 p.m. kickoff against Bucknell.

ForumsQuestionsImport from specific Reminders list
Import from specific Reminders list
I know that Toodledo can import items from the iOS Reminders app (and that is how you utilize Siri for voice input to Toodledo), but the import is global across ALL Reminder lists. Has any considersation been given to adding the ability to this function to just select a SPECIFIC Reminders list to import from instead of all?
I'm not familiar with the APIs that Apple provides you to work with, but in my opinion this would be very beneficial. I use BOTH Reminders and Toodledo for different things. I share some Reminder lists with my wife, who would never use Toodledo, as well as some other uses, and since Toodledo imports evertyhing from across all lists, it prohibits me from turning on that feature and using Siri for voice import.
I would like to suggest the ability to optionally pick a specific list, either the default Reminders list or another custom list, and limiting Toodledo's import/delete feature to that list. That way you would still have use of the Reminders app for some things, but anything you put on a specific list configured for Toodledo would get imported to Toodledo.
Thank you.
Toodledo Admin
Thanks for the suggestion. We do not comment on timeframes for implementation, but this is on our to-do list.
Thanks Jake!

Martinez to give Hillsborough reading
Everton manager Roberto Martinez will give a reading at a service to mark the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster in April.
Martinez will join his Liverpool counterpart Brendan Rodgers in speaking at the memorial event, to be held at Anfield.
The Hillsborough Family Support Group (HFSG), which has campaigned for justice on behalf of the victims of the tragedy for the last quarter of a century, confirmed that the Everton manager had accepted their invitation to speak at the service.
Everton chairman Bill Kenwright spoke at last year's service, which was the first after an independent report exonerated fans of any blame for the disaster, and highlighted the extent to which the police and emergency services attempted to cover up their own culpability.
Ninety-six Liverpool supporters were crushed to death on an overcrowded section of terracing when they attended an FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough stadium on April 15, 1989.
The publication of the Hillsborough Independent Panel's report in September 2012 led to the opening of two separate investigations into the conduct of the police and emergency services during and after the disaster, as well as the quashing of the original inquest verdicts of accidental death.
Fresh inquests are set to open in Warrington, Cheshire, on March 31, little more than two weeks before the 25th anniversary service.
Demand to attend this year's service is expected to be so great that tickets, which will be free of charge and limited to four per application, will be required for entry.
Margaret Aspinall, the chair of HFSG, said: "It is a shock to me the numbers who turn up every year. It's amazing. With the inquests having started two weeks before the anniversary, there will be a lot more interest.
"I know some of the fans who haven't come in previous years want to be at the 25th anniversary service. We expect the service to be busy so we urge everyone to obtain tickets as early as possible and only request the amount of tickets needed.
"Roberto will doing a reading this year, and also Brendan."

Learning disabilities are neurologically based conditions that interfere with the acquisition, storage, organization, and use of skills and knowledge. They are identified by deficits in academic functioning and in processing other information. The diagnosis of a learning disability in an adult requires documentation of at least average intellectual functioning along with a deficit in one or more of the following areas:
- auditory processing
- visual processing
- information processing speed
- abstract and general reasoning
- memory (long-term, short-term, visual, auditory)
- spoken and written language skills
- reading skills
- mathematical skills
- visual spatial skills
- motor skills
- executive functioning (planning)
Some considerations:
A learning disability is not a disorder that a student "grows out of." It is a permanent disorder affecting how students with normal or above-average intelligence process incoming information, outgoing information, or both.
Learning disabilities are often inconsistent. They may be manifested in only one specific academic area, such as math or foreign language. There might be problems in grade school, none in high school, and again in college.
Learning disabilities are not the same as mental retardation or emotional disorders.
Common accommodations for students with learning disabilities are alternative print formats, taped lectures, note-takers, alternative ways of completing assignments, early syllabus, exam modifications, priority registration, and study skills and strategies training.
Instructional Strategies for Faculty
The following strategies are suggested to enhance the accessibility of course instruction, materials, and activities. They are general strategies designed to support individualized reasonable accommodations.
- Keep instructions brief and as uncomplicated as possible.
- Allow the student to tape-record lectures or look for a note-taker.
- Clearly define course requirements, the dates of exams, and when assignments are due; provide advance notice of any changes.
- Provide handouts and visual aids.
- When appropriate, team a reader with a non-reading student during in-class assignments.
- Use more than one way to demonstrate or explain information.
- Break information into small steps when teaching many new tasks in one lesson (state objectives, review previous lesson, summarize periodically).
- Allow time for clarification of directions and essential information.
- Provide study guides or review sheets for exams.

Auburn starts SEC 2-0, beats South Carolina 74-71
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Frankie Sullivan scored 17 points and Rob Chubb added 16 points and 10 rebounds as Auburn beat South Carolina 74-71 on Saturday.
The Tigers (8-7, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) survived 27 lead changes to win their second SEC game of the season. Auburn had started 0-2 in the SEC the past five years.
Auburn took the lead for good after Sullivan's two free throws with 2:41 to go to put the Tigers up 73-71. Chubb missed one of two free throws with 35.2 seconds left, giving South Carolina (10-5, 0-2) one last chance.
Brian Richardson missed a fairly open 3-pointer with 10 seconds left and Bruce Ellington forced up another 3-pointer that didn't have a chance against a double team as the Gamecocks started SEC play 0-2 for a second year in a row.
It was the second straight game in which Ellington couldn't get off a good shot on South Carolina's final possession. He led the Gamecocks with 18 points. Damien Leonard added 17 points and nine rebounds.
The Tigers shot 58.5 percent (24 of 41) but turned over the ball 17 times to keep South Carolina in it. Brian Greene Jr. scored 14 points, making all six of his shots, two of them behind the arc.
Auburn appeared ready to pull away after Sullivan hit back-to-back 3-pointers to give the Tigers their biggest lead of the game at 46-42 with 16 minutes left.
But Sullivan missed a pair of free throws the next trip down and Leonard buried a 3-pointer. The Gamecocks eventually built a 61-57 lead on Leonard's fifth 3 of the game with eight minutes to go.
But Chubb got a layup inside the next trip down, and neither team would lead by three the rest of the way until Chubb's final free throw.
Chubb's 16 points was his second-highest total in an SEC game. He scored 18 the last time the Tigers played in Columbia, a 79-64 win in 2011. Chubb forgot his shoes that day and had to play in a pair of size 16s borrowed from South Carolina.
The teams went back-and-forth during the first 20 minutes with the lead changing hands 12 times. The Gamecocks held Sullivan, the SEC's third-leading scorer at 17 points a game, to seven points in the first half.

An as-yet-untitled sequel to 5TH Cell's quirky Nintendo DS puzzler Scribblenauts is to be released in fall 2010, publisher Warner Bros Interactive confirmed this morning.
As with the original, the sequel is coming to Nintendo DS and is being developed by 5TH Cell. But whereas the original had players typing in nouns to summon objects, the sequel allows them to modify summoned objects through the use of ...adjectives.
"Adjectives can change the colour, size, elements, behaviours and many other aspects of the object they are describing," explained Warner Bros. "Multiple adjectives can be combined together to produce incredibly creative objects, allowing the player's imagination to run wild for a truly unique and individualistic experience."
Translation? Robot dinosaurs, shotgun-wielding skateboarding Santa, Kraken, keyboard cat and other favorites from the first game just got a lot more interesting.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has conceded defeat in the Barclays Premier League title race following the 1-0 loss at Crystal Palace.
A John Terry own goal earned the Eagles a lifeline in their battle against relegation.
Chelsea's concerns are at the top of the table and they have played more games than rivals Manchester City and Liverpool.
A second successive away loss saw Mourinho admit his hopes of a third Premier League title are over with six matches to go.
Mourinho said: "We depend too much on other results. When you depend a little it's possible, when you depend a lot, I don't think it's possible.
"We depend now too much. I don't think now we can win the league."
Mourinho absolved his defenders - Branislav Ivanovic, Gary Cahill, Terry and Cesar Azpilicueta - of blame for the loss to Palace, but was not shy at pointing fingers at others.
Mourinho said: "My four defenders, phenomenal performance, as always. The others I'd prefer not to analyse individually."
Asked what quality is required for his side, Mourinho said: "I cannot say in front of the cameras. I can write it on paper."
Offered a notepad after the media conference, the Portuguese wrote "balls".
He had made his discontent clear.
"We missed some qualities," he said. "Mentality and a little bit of quality. Mentality because the opponents beat us clearly on that. Strong mentality, aggressive, committed.
"Every one of them played, I think, at the top of their potential and that, in football, is important.
"Clearly we have some players, because of their profile, who find it difficult to perform in some profile of matches.
"You have Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill and Azpilicueta and they perform in the sun, in the rain, small pitches, big pitches, aggressive teams, non-aggressive teams, possession teams, not possession teams and they perform every game from day one to the last day.
"And you have other players who are fantastic in some matches and disappear in other matches."
For Mourinho, the disappearing acts have happened in four of Chelsea's five losses this season, all of which have come away from home.
The exception was the defeat at Aston Villa when the Blues boss was unhappy with referee Chris Foy's performance.
Mourinho claims he was trying to avoid an incident similar to when Eden Hazard was sent-off for kicking a ball-boy at Swansea last season when he approached one of Palace's ball-boys in stoppage time.
The Chelsea boss suggested the boy had been told to return the ball slowly.
Mourinho said: "The kids were doing that all the time, so I went to stop Azpi and I had the chance to get the kid, and the kid was cute.
"He came to me and I told him if he does this, 'one day somebody will punch you'.
"But the kids, it's not their fault. It was not me, for sure (telling the kids to slow it down). I was losing."
Palace boss Tony Pulis danced down the touchline at full-time in celebration of the Eagles' first league win over Chelsea in nearly 24 years.
After fulfilling some of his media commitments, Pulis left his post-match media conference to assistant David Kemp to enjoy a glass of wine.
Kemp said: "Our players have put in a magnificent effort today. They've been rightly rewarded and for him to recognise their effort I thought was very good.
"Jose came and congratulated our players. I thought that was very classy."
Kemp did not dwell on the penalty appeals which went against Palace, but believes the result could have been more convincing, with Cameron Jerome also hitting a post.
"The finishing didn't match some of the rest of the play, but that's been our problem for a while," Kemp added.
"Fortunately today one was enough and we're very pleased with it.
"If we could stick the ball in the net to back it up it could've been a bit more comfortable."
The victory could aid Palace in the closing weeks of the campaign.
"It's big for the club and it's big for the players," Kemp said.
"When you beat a top team it gives them that little bit more confidence, credibility and belief to go on. It will be very important for this group of players and the club."

Summer is long gone in England and the cold weather is closing in for Premier League clubs, though summer is still fresh in the minds of many managers.
That is, the summer transfer window will still be nagging certain bosses, largely because of the mistakes they have made. This is no judgement on the new signings to brand some of them flops, but mistakes in the business they did not do.
No transfer window is ever perfect for a club, but the least you hope for as a supporter is that your team manages to at least address the areas of the pitch that need addressing in some regard.
January is two and a half months away and the winter transfer window will provide Premier League managers with an opportunity to right any recruitment wrongs.
GMS took a look at the ills besetting some of the leading clubs in squad terms and came up with five January deals that desperately need to be done.

Lord General sure can fight well.
That giant bug guy never stood a chance against him.
Panic on the train was a total overreaction. What would he gain by jumping off a speeding train?! Kinda stupid.
Nice action scenes!
Really interesting episode.
Can't wait for next one!

I felt it was a decent episode. Put me in the "a bit confused and having trouble getting a handle on things, but feel the truth will be revealed" group. If it's not revealed very well, then I'll have issues with this series, heh.
Yuji is speaking with a different voice, which tells me someone else is in control. Probably the person who was speaking to him in ep 1. Is there some entity in his treasure? Perhaps that is the source of the silver flames that tick Margery off? Almost feels like Yuji struck some sort deal with whoever that voice is.
But I like Shana's training. I liked Keisaku's palpable fear in trying to get off the train; it really shows his humanity through the choice he's taken.
I was a bit put off by the fight at the start, and how a flame haze was seemingly so easily defeated. I have no basis for power levels among the flame hazes (just assuming they are fairly similar), but would have expected a better, more evenly matched fight at least. Though from what I understand, the novel made the fight better. And probably 'tis the curse of secondary characters, as some have said.
Looking forward to ep 3, when Yuji comes back. Should be interesting to see Shana and Kazumi's reactions. And I want to see what Yuji has to say about all this.

YUJI IS SO CUTE AND HAWT IN HIS NEW FORM. And with deep voice and soft voice changing on top of that, it's an epic sandwich.

About the voice:
I assume Yuuji will use three different voices.
The first one is the Aizen voice, basically used when SnH is in full control
The second one is a deep version of Yuuji's normal voice, first heard at the end of episode 01 and of course, all the time during 02, when he wasn't talking in SnH voice.
It means that they are both talking, since they are mutually bounded, after all.
The third voice will be the original Yuuji voice, as seen in the opening sequence of episode 01. This is probably when he talks to Shana, as Yuuji.
I like the idea of the changing voice, although I have to say that the SnH doesn't match the appearance of him, but that's because it's Yuuji's body, after all.

Glad they started explaining what happened for us non LN people. So Yuji's being possessed/sharing his body with some long past leader of Bal Masque. The "Hey, guess what: I'm evil now" transition starts to make a bit more since.
Ya, Yuji's new voice is too deep for my tastes and it dose remind me of the Haruhi cat.
Save for that though I enjoyed this episode more then the first. There's something to be said about having to piece together wtf happened in the first episode. I think getting a few more pieces to the puzzle added some enjoyment for me. Although, I still wish it was at least for shadowed in S2.

The way Yuji kept talking with one voice then the other was freaking weird. But other than that, it was a good episode and left me wanting to see the next one RIGHT NOW.
I'm glad Sabrac is making an appearance in this series. He's probably my favorite character.

Good episode things are being set up quite nicely and i think we are going to see many more deaths. The other Flame Haze are most def going to pull back to consolidate they forces for a game plan and get ready since the battle lines have been drawn. No mistaken this is going to be an all out war.
Seeing Bel Peol blush and actually be womanly was weird but kind of cute if it wasnt for that damn 3rd creepy eye.
Im anxious to find out what Bal Masque's plan is and how they will go about systematically destroying the Flame Haze. I am also very interested to know what is Yuji's process of thinking as events unfold. We know his wish but does he really condone the slaughter of so many in order to achieve this. Does he even have any control while hes in there.
Shana's head is going to spin into orbit when Yuji returns and when she finds out that he is now with Bal Masque i think she is going to lose it for a bit.

It's not that they are weak as much as they seem to come up with ineffectual schemes (which I assume were the anime original arcs.) Plus it wasn't until I realized that Hecate was that damned strong until season II (which coincided with when that part got better).
But really, stuff like sending a clone that looks exactly like Hecate and everyone's like hurr we're too busy going emo to think that the Bal Masque has techniques to avoid typical detection schemes just made everyone look stupid. Even glasses or a mask would have helped. Did that surprise anyone who was watching?
They really don't provide any charisma as bad guys either beyond the generic cocky laughter and stuff.
I mean, compare this to Sabrac, who came across as insanely lethal and deadly. And he barely spoke in more than one liner. He would have been a far superior last boss for season 2, it would seem. Or say Pheles who had a far more imposing entrance.
Compared to them, Douche-Yuji and Bal Masque appear to be professional wrestling rejects that get pushed far more than they should. There's booing a villain because you think they are evil and want them to lose, booing a villain because you fear their strength will destroy the heroes totally, and there's booing a villain because you just don't want to see them on the screen.
When the greatest interest I have in the Bal Masque is how often Hecate wants to drain Yuji's POE every night, there's a problem.

Just when I thought that I was finally starting to understand how Yuji became the commander, Yuji is coming back to the city as the normal Yuji? Perhaps he can transform similarly like Flame Haze's do, and when he does, Silver takes over him or something... I'll just let the anime tell me whats going on. Again.
I just couldn't help but laught at Yuji's alt-voice though. I did a double-take to see if it was actually Yuji that was speaking. It felt like some old dude was dubbing the lines;;;
Also, Satou's reaction was priceless.

Life as an ethnic minority youth
- 2 Posts
Even if I'm a permanent resident of Hong Kong or even if I can still be considered as a Hong Konger by some people because I was born it, it still doesn't feel right to call this city "My Home." Like many of my fellow ethnic minorities, we are still stuck under that label. We are still part of the minority. For many, we should be thankful because we are given some "privileges" and get to enjoy the same rights as local residents.
But my point in the matter is, being an EM student does make it very difficult to fit in the local culture and to integrate in the society. For starters, the segregation of the "lost generation" of ethnic minorities in the education system where there are schools that EM students specifically attend because of the lack of accommodation to teach us Chinese (Cantonese) within our level in local schools. Yes, there are some EM students that study in local schools but the numbers are so few and the adjustment to fit in and keep up with the same level as the locals are challenging.
For my part, I went to a DSS school where there is a specific
subject called "Chinese as a Second Language", the difficulty of
learning the local language will be very difficult for the
younger generation because Chinese is a must in Hong Kong. It is
so difficult to get a job, it is so difficult to get into a
tertiary institution in a degree program, so many opportunities
are missed and the socialization with the local people are being
ignored. Needless to say, the issue of "equality" where schools
that EM students go to are not necessarily good in terms of
resources. So what chance do we have to compete for a place in a
tertiary institution where the public exam this year was taken by
80,000 candidates and only 15,000 bachelor degrees available?
There are choices for sub-degree programs but why do most of the
EM students have to settle for that? There has been ounces of
racial discrimination due to the lack of fluency to speak the
language or by clothing or appearance alone.
There have been many reports of discrimination in textbooks, in the younger generation as well just outside because of the lack of cohesion between the local culture and the other cultures. In a way, there is no diversity despite the fact that Hong Kong is Asia's World City.
This results in many of the EM youths dropping out of school, starting to work after completion of secondary school, being involved in violent ways such as triads, drugs, alcohol because of the feeling of alienation. It is such a rare sight to see locals and EM youths socializing together outside of school. Sometimes, I, myself wonder what kind of a future I would have. I love Hong Kong and it is been a very beautiful place to live in but as the flow of the cultures are beginning to diffuse into the city, I believe that adjustments should be made and changes should follow.
I know from personal experience that many EM youth just settle for what they are given or what they can get rather than what they want or what they think they deserve. I think that we should all be given the equal right, equal say and equal opportunity and not feel alienated in a place that we want to call our "home". After all, the EM youth are also part of the future of Hong Kong.

The special care devoted to the treatment of Beemster cows continues with the crafting of the cheese itself. First, the milk is continuously tested when it arrives at the dairy from the individual farms. Rennet is then added to the milk to facilitate the coagulation of curds. Next, the curd is cut, pumped into open drainage containers and raked out by hand, a process most cheese makers leave to mechanization.
After the whey drains, the Beemster curd is placed into molds in which they are pressurized into the wheel shape. The wheels are placed into a brine bath, which starts the aging process from within the cheese. Then the wheels are aged on wooden boards in traditional temperature and humidity-controlled warehouses, where they're hand-turned, inspected and polished every day for up to 26 months.

Here are cheese terms relevant to this article. For more cheese terms, see our Cheese Glossary.
Artisan Cheese: A cheese made in small batches, using traditional techniques—it refers to the manner in which the cheese is made. As little mechanization as possible is used in the production of the cheese.
Brine-Cured: Many types of cheese are washed with, or submerged into, a brine bath as part of the cheese making process. The brining solution provides cheese with a slightly salty flavor and helps to limit the growth of unwanted bacteria that can produce a foul taste in the cheese (in other stages of the cheese making process, beneficial bacteria are necessary for producing the positive, character-giving qualities of the cheese). Appenzeller, Feta and Parmigiano-Reggiano are other examples of brine-cured cheese.
Curds: Cheese is made of curds, which are obtained by curdling (coagulating) milk with rennet (an enzyme) or an acid such as lemon juice or vinegar; then draining off the whey. The milk solids become curds when an acid (vinegar, lemon juice) or enzymes are added.
Rennet: Rennet is a coagulating enzyme that is added to milk as the first step in making cheese. The traditional source of rennet is the abomasum (fourth stomach or rennet stomach) of slaughtered, milk-fed new-born calves or other young ruminants. It is also possible to produce rennet from fungi.
Whey: Whey is the liquid portion of milk, after the solids (protein and fat) have been extracted.

I agree I think that circumcision is a mutilation.
I know it's hard for people to hear - especially men who have been circumcised or parents who have circumcised their child.
I was responding to Michah's post:
Comment by Micah Oliver 13 hours ago I recommend Joe and Richard watch this person's videos on circumcision after listening to episode #28. Of special interest as they relate to the episode is the video(s) comparing female and male circumcision. They are all excellent videos, and I happen to like his approach.
Male circumcision also effects female sexual pleasure. Removing the male foreskin reduces female pleasure when having sex with circumcised male vs an uncircumcised male. It is more pleasurable for a female, to have sex with a male who has a foreskin. It is more easy to climax. External clitoral stimulation is more necessary for a women to climax when having sex with a circumcised male.

Dunn - I appreciate the point you are making regarding the requirement for informed decision making. However let me clarify, you are not advocating circumcision as a publicly funded preventative treatment for phimosis are you? I am also confused as to how you could justify the individual choice of preventative surgery for phimosis + other uncircumcised related health issues. All the reading I have done to date on this topic points quite clearly to the idea that circumcision does not meet the criteria for a public intervention/screening programme. This means the prevalence, cost and personal cost (ie; the trauma you speak of, which I have also witnessed firsthand) of the condition does not justify population wide circumcision. Naturally there are individual cases (alluded to earlier in this discussion) where the scales are tipped in favour of the procedure. You mention however, your sons case is not one of these. Therefore I wonder why you say you'd choose differently when the research just doesn't support such a decision at both a population level and an individual level (of a non high risk individual). I think I might have missed something, I'll go back and re-read your comments.
Sorry can't get the Edit function to work - I wanted to address this comment specifically.
"New born babies do not have grown penises and foreskins; they don't get erections. It doesn't take them weeks to heal".
Firstly, in the interests of accuracy, newborn babies certainly do have erections. Secondly, I think it's important that we be careful about attempting to marginalised the 'problems' (it's hard to classify them as specifically morbidity or mortality etc) associated with infant circumcision. Firstly the serious complication rates vary depending on where the procedure is performed and by whom. Secondly, reported 'complications' such as, but not limited to, vomiting, prolonged inability to urinate and disruption to breastfeeding are notoriously under reported. As well and importantly, methods of gauging infant physical and psychological pain and distress levels are continuously being refined & are, as we can all imagine, difficult. Thirdly, just for interest sake, many studies report mean healing time for infants as around 10 days.
Adult suffering which can be mitigated by the warmth of human comfort; the knowledge that time passes, and with it, pain; and by conscious understanding of the health necessity for that pain, of course is the only choice.And a great deal of Vicodin, or something similar. That stuff was freaking awesome, when I had Mono, 4 or 5 years back. I imagine that dosing him up for a few days will help things significantly. That's another thing that you can't do, in the case of a baby.
I didn't think you were. I just wanted to clarify. Please don't feel 'shot down' that wasn't my intention. I was honestly trying to get you to expand on your thoughts. I appreciated you're rational tone and totally conur with your thoughts regarding evidence based decision making. This is what I love about atheism. It's not a world view that necessarily puts you on one side of a debate or another.
I am really pleased you looked into this issue. I think (as a mum of 4 & medical student myself) that whether by accident or otherwise you made a decision not to circumcise in line with current medical guidelines.
I am terribly sorry however to hear your son will have to be circumcised as an older child. Wishing you guys all the best.

If you publish it in print you have the same protection any other author has under copyright law, and it is illegal for people to reproduce whatever you made (with some limited exceptions). Technically you have the same protection if you release the work online, but if you do that and give it out as a word document or text file or something similar, it makes it a lot easier for people to plagiarise or steal. So you should do what louishen said and protect it by releasing it in restricted PDF only.I'm in your forums, writing sentences in a grammatically acceptable manner.

It is less a matter of preventing anyone from copying your work and more being able to prove so in court if someone copyes your work and profits from it. Just printing "copyright ***" on the work is not sufficient.
Two workarounds, one cheap, one a bit more:
1 - Send yourself a manuscript and digital copy by snail mail. Make sure the envelope is sealed, and have the post office put a date-stamp across the flap. Leave the envelope sealed in case you need it.
2 - Self publish with a place that will give you ISBN #, library of congress, etc.
The main challenge in court is proving that you came up with an idea first.

You're automatically granted a copyright the moment the work is created, but there's still a system for registering items. If you're serious about this, it's worth looking into.
I'd also advocate getting yourself hard copy proof. Even if you just did a one off digital printing run for yourself and a few other people, that should be sufficient.
What I find is the hardest part (as a photographer) is actually finding the people committing the violation. It's easy if they take your work and turn it into a blockbuster movie or change a few words and end up on Oprah's book club, but if you're rather small time about it and so are they, there in lies the rub.
Lastly, nothing you can do will prevent people from being able to copy it. Even if you create a print version rather than an online version, it can be OCR scanned and turned into a document. This happens every day. You've got to do what you can to protect yourself and then just put it out there. Sharing your work is better than keeping it locked up because you're afraid someone is going to make it their own.

Bradford trio Ritchie Jones, Andrew Davies and Craig Fagan will return to contention for the home clash with Torquay.
Midfielder Jones missed the midweek penalty shoot-out win over Huddersfield in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy due to a hamstring strain, defender Davies sat it out after a receiving a bang on the head last weekend and Fagan was also rested.
On-loan winger Jamie Devitt (hip) has returned to Valley Parade following treatment at parent club Hull and could play some part on Saturday.
But manager Phil Parkinson will be without strikers Ross Hannah, forced out of the action on Tuesday night with a knee injury, and James Hanson, who is still struggling with a calf strain.
Midfielder Adam Reed, a recent loan signing from Sunderland, remains sidelined due to a groin problem and long-term absentee Steve Williams (thigh) is still out.
Torquay will be without injured winger Ian Morris for the game.
Morris has been ruled out for at least two months after a scan revealed a piece of bone floating in his knee.
The 24-year-old was taking part in a coaching course on Monday when his knee gave way during light running, and he is due to see a surgeon on Friday to discuss what may be needed to aid his recovery.
Meanwhile, on-loan striker Billy Bodin is away with the Wales Under-21s for their European Championship qualifying games against Montenegro and the Czech Republic.
However, striker Rene Howe is available for selection once again after serving a one-match ban for his red card against Shrewsbury on September 24.

1. Having now watched a (Chinese) sub, I think kazu-kun is right and it isn't Oosugi. He dropped his bag and phone when he was drunk, and is probably off somewhere licking his wounds and off-line. The "rapist" (according to Diana) picked up his phone and was just clicking away, posting to the preset address of that lovelorn board.
2. The first report of this week's ratings is in, and it's a 5.0%, putting the show very close to (but probably not quite in) the top ten. Last week's first report is out at the same time, and it dropped to a 3.3% from the previous week's 4.6. I guess the fans like action, lol.
3. The way Akira was going to do his best to help Diana overcome her dislike of penises suggests he is just a prince who likes to do good for people, and makes one wonder if he actually feels anything special for Saki. Diana ends by telling Saki that she didn't realize there were such good men around, and that Saki should treasure him.
By the way, this ep gives us another glimpse of how bold Saki actually is, despite her demure manner. And Hayami Saori is great again. But Kimura Ryouhei (Akira) can't do screams very well.

(I still haven't watched it yet, and I'm not sure if they answer that in the episode, but allow me to butt in with a short question)
If he was a random rapist and not Osugi, then was it just a pure coincidence, he pictured the apple in the previous episode? So he didn't address the images to the Eden of the East club?

The images were being posted to a lovelorn forum, where guys talk about their girl problems. Oosugi may have had his phone set to post to that site. And the random guy whom Diana picked up on that street outside the restaurant maybe had picked up Oosugi's bag and phone from where he dropped them in his drunken stupor. It would have been reasonable for a "rapist" to hang around waiting for a drunken girl to show up in that entertainment district.
The fat club member said that Oosugi, if it was him posting, might have been embarrassed to send an email to his friends, since he wouldn't have wanted to talk to them about being ditched by Saki.
I'm still not sure if the guy was Oosugi or not. I'm just thinking that maybe it wasn't. The Selecao phone records said that Diana had paid for three kinds of magic: lift, wings, and flight? Or lift, wings/flight, and concealing Oosugi's identity?
When we saw the Eden site, it was when Micchan logged in to use the special ID software from that site to look at the items in a pic that the imprisoned guy had taken. They ID'd a piano and Akira found out through Juiz who had bought one like it.
Diana said that #9 was the one behind Careless Monday, and also that he was the Supporter. Akira didn't remember any of that.

My jaw was pretty much hanging open until I paused at the end and slowly sounded out "suu...paa... iryu...shon..." and came to the conclusion that others in this topic have kindly confirmed. :P (thank goodness so many technical terms are in katakana) Still WTF-worthy but...
Crazy intense episode. When it hit the halfway point I was like, "Wait, already?!" So it looks like Akira was responsible for the missiles after all...
Well, can't wait for the subs, and next week, of course. ^^

just if you noticed..
This episode was very interesting but the end was a little out ..I mean for an instance I believed that she could really fly but then I read that it was fake and just an illusion ...but wow!!what an illusion!! but well I was afraid that this series could turn out to be unrealistic but it was a trick after all.. The only thing that makes me wonder is where is oosugi??? .Did you guys noticed that in episode 5 oosugi was wearing a red tie and in episode 7 oosugi is wearing a green tie? unless that guy wasn't oosugi after all..they just made a mistake!!!but either ways I still love this anime is the best and with this episode I end up loving it more and akira too...he is so hot!!!

I still want to deny he was putting moves on Diana, or that he was planning on screwing her.
Pity date?
Unless Akira's plan was to help Diana get over her Johnny stealing days by whipping out his Johnny. Which could also go in with making Saki feel better by distracting her with a kiss.

Ok, this series just went to a whole new lvl because this episode just completely WTFed me. First I thought it was like some government/organization conspiracy thing, but now we bust out sci-fi. So then... what of that kid napped guy? That was a little confusing. This show seems to revolve around anything that is a Johny....

(I mean, he didn't get arrested for indecent exposure in DC, he made Saki freak out on oestrogen overload on the 2nd time she saw it, he made a supposedly hard-ass police woman blush and pardon him, he got trousers for it (some inside US joke, I'll never get))
Had she... well she probably did see it, given his state when he was on the bed.
Methinks Diana would have worshiped it rather than cut it. xD
"The Prince I Found" wasn't referring to Akira himself
Why thank you, kind sir. I do try
I don't mind getting to know peeps on Asuki a lil, just drop a msg on my profile board to say 'hi' to begin from there and we'll see where the wind takes us~
Juiz(s) are merely the concierges for the Selecao.
All they do is implement whatever their messed up minds can think of, so if you want to be the next David Blaine and pull off a stunt that outdoes Diana's then go ahead, it'll just cost you a lot of yen
When she went 'Juiz, do it' - I was actually scared that she was gonna go after Saki or something, but man she certainly takes "elegant" to the next level.
I couldn't help but think of Suitengu's "dark angel" scenes from Speed Grapher tbh, but it was still awesome to watch, esp with the glass shattering and everything.
Most epic dramatic anime exit scene of the year.
And I checked out ep 8's preview on the website and sure enough, it's an 'informative' calmer ep (bleh) *pouts*
(Time for lower TV ratings Kaoru!!)
Spoiler for not really spoilerish but just outta courtesy:
But for now, time to re watch ep 7 again and again, cause it was just class.

There's something definitely off about Juiz. In one episode we see that she doesn't quite get sarcasm ("gyafun"), but here we see that she gets it well enough to make them ("I hope you'll be an honest messiah even if you abuse state power", "you sure are a violent messiah"). Whoever Juiz is, she's making it hard for anyone to guess at her true identity; an actual person? Highly advanced AI? Or as seems quite likely at this point, a sentient AI? Could Mr. Outside and Juiz be one and the same?
It's confusing as heck. @_@
EDIT: Also, if the guy Diana carried away was some random rapist (way to go Yagami Light there, Selecao XI), then how is the Eden mascot on the guy's briefcase to be accounted for?

Another thing that has me intrigued is the fact that Juiz seems to be able to fulfil what realistically should be near-impossible requests almost instantaneously. For example, IV ("bang! bang!"), IX ("gyafun", "yo I wanna trump up false charges against someone for the LULZ", "hey I wanna be a Roppongi property owner lol"), and XI ("clean up the trash, Juiz", "I need a translator stat", "trash that tanker plskthx"). If we dismiss the possibility of the Noblesse phones having a supernatural aspect or something like that, then it's not just a matter of a stupidly rich Mr. Outside anymore; it would speak of an infrastructure on an unprecedented scale serving whatever request the 12 Selecao can possibly think up.
Amongst other things, what we've seen would suggest a dedicated agent shadowing each Selecao, capable of doing hits and shooting out tires amongst other possible skills, ready access to the deepest levels in the economic, political and military hierarchy of Japan, and perhaps even a team of skilled professionals in all fields capable of servicing every business need. That's some scary infrastructure there, and only IX is beginning to question all this by virtue of having lost his memory. The rest of the Selecao either know something IX and the rest of us don't, or they're all just looking a gift horse in the mouth.
I mean, yeah, it's only half the series, and the full explanation is probably still coming up. But, I just can't see the explanation not ending up being completely [beep]ing crazy, somehow. @_@

Which I guess is one of those things, where it's basically saying, even with capabilities seemingly limited only by the laws of physics and money, you still can't just solve anything with that power. You can't just say, "Juiz, fix this world kthxbye."

Well, that was so outstandingly unorthodox that the weird parts (how did #11 manage to mount such a spectacular illusion?) didn't bug me at all.
This series is good. Very good. It's pushing boundaries on lots of things we take for granted in anime like I've never seen before while still keeping a straight face, instead of taking the "You're too lowly to understand this" clichéd artsy route.
My only worry, right now, is that even with the movie it seems to be too damn short. I just hope that won't turn out to be the case.

Gary Berti once claimed, "Brook trout are the canary in the coal mine when it comes to water quality, and the presence of brook trout in a watershed indicates that water quality is excellent. Declining brook trout populations can provide an early warning that the health of an entire stream, lake or river is at risk."
Berti knows a thing or two about brook trout. He has been Trout Unlimited's eastern brook trout campaign coordinator for many years now.
During the heat of the summer, when water levels grow increasingly low on the rivers and the amount of dissolved oxygen begins to diminish, brook trout will often return to the smaller, tumbling mountain tributaries to seek relief from the warmer, oxygen-poor waters of the flatter, wider rivers in the valleys.
Article Photos
Photo by Joe Hackett
A morning mist rises over Spruce Mill Brook.
Brook trout seek the cooler, shaded tumbling waters as a place of refuge. Wild rainbow trout often follow the same pattern, and can usually be found in large numbers at the base of waterfalls, where the waters are rich in oxygen and food is plentiful in the swirling currents.
In recent weeks, I've fished the small brooks and the larger rivers as well. The results were quite telling.
By far, the largest fish I've taken this summer were found in the bigger rivers, often at the base of falls or a serious section of rapids. The largest was a big brown sporting a hook jaw that was nearly worn to the bone from grubbing nymphs. I took it on a slow section of the Saranac River, just below the junction with Alder Brook which is more of a tumbling, pool-drop-pool type of a stream.
I've also found great success while paddling and fishing on several of the smaller mountain brooks. I've rock-hopped up many of the smaller waters to get up high where the water is skinny and the pools are deep.
I've also floated many of the valley streams and rivers, paddling through the riffles and fishing in the holes. Above all, I've made a point to go places where others anglers don't.
On slower days, when no fish or bugs appeared to be moving, I've even employed a few of Rev. John Hatt's old tricks to "turn the trout on."
Rev. Hatt was one of the most accomplished fly tiers I've ever known. He was a stickler for detail in the flies he tied, and he had an uncanny way of imitating their action.
I once watched him raise the ire of several trout that were feeding on a hatch of caddis flies. He imitated the bumbling and bouncing action of the natural caddis flies to perfection as he slapped the water's surface with a perfect series of delicately delivered roll casts with two caddis flies rigged in tandem at the end of his line. I watched as he took three pair of trout on the end of one line that evening. Try though I might, I've never been able to duplicate the feat.
One day, after watching me fish (unsuccessfully) along a slow, flat section of the Boquet River near Elizabethtown, the good reverend donned his hip waders and literally chased me down. As he waded along the edge of the riverbank, he continued to slap and slash at the overhanging bushes with the business end of his old fly rod.
"Snakes," I wondered out loud to no one in particular.
I thought he had finally gone mad, until he approached me and whispered, "Now, you watch that side of the river. In just a few minutes, there will be fish jumping for certain. I wasn't chasing chick-a-dees in those bushes. I was just setting the table."
Sure enough, there came the slightest rise of a trout sipping a bug off the surface. And then another and a few more. Within a half hour, just before darkness stilled the valley, I took three nice fish and lost several others, mostly because I was overanxious.
As a youngster, I always wondered why the Reverend walked the riverbanks and beat the brush. An old friend had told me the Reverend was just chasing away snakes, when in fact he was chumming. He created his own hatch by beating the bushes. Then he matched it, often with flies that looked like beetles, crickets or grasshoppers.
The Reverend also offered sage advice on the need - or lack thereof - of a watch. He explained he never wore a watch when he was fishing, since the slightest glint of sun reflecting off the watch crystal would surely put the fish down, and off the feed.
I learned the lesson well. To this day, I refuse to wear a watch on the water, despite the height of the sun or the wail of the wind. I don't believe the glint of the crystal would actually put a fish off feed, but I do know there is no need to know the time when there are fish to be caught.
Time just doesn't much matter when you're on the river. Fish can't tell time, and an angler doesn't need to know. Whenever a rod is in hand, there's never a watch on my wrist.
Inevitability of change
Over the past weekend, I slipped away from the mountain streams and traveled down into the valleys to float a few of the smaller rivers and brooks. I passed by a few of the more popular fishing holes on my way to some of my old haunts, including the Branch, the North Branch of the Boquet and Spruce Mill Brook.
Of course, I fully expected to encounter remnants of the damage that was caused by the recent extreme weather incidents, just as I had a few years back when I floated the Boquet River two days after Hurricane Irene swept through the region. The river was lock-chock with debris and downed trees, several of which required long portages to continue my journey downstream.
Other obstacles I've encountered on the rivers and streams include an old 17-foot fiberglass motorboat, a sailboard, at least three lawn tractors and several bureaus and old dressers (all sans clothes).
I've also found several small sheds, a plastic dog house and more than a few kiddie swimming pools. I've hauled out several canoe-loads full of junk, and it doesn't seem I've even put a dent in it. The most recent flooding of this past spring served to unearth a whole new load of river trash, delivering a pile of intertwined logs and debris to the most constricted sections of the waterways.
Fortunately, the debris has not choked off any waterfalls, and most of the majestic towering pines still stand at attention along the riverbanks. Although the old familiar rivers of my youth have changed, it is a natural dynamic. Change is there, it's inevitable, even in the places that we know the best.

All of the White Sox attendance problems stem from the fact that the White Sox fan base and potential fan base is no longer on the Southside of Chicago. Years ago most of the White Sox attendance came from the neighborhoods of the Southside of Chicago. That's simply not the case anymore. When you consider the fact that most of the White Sox attendance comes from different parts of the Chicagoland area, I think its amazing they draw as well as they do. If you draw 2 million people a year at the Cell and the majority of the fans are coming from somewhere besides the Southside of Chicago, I think basically you've drawn quite well.
I agree go there get a stadium with a retractable roof that would blow away the Cell. The location has good location for cars trains and buses. They could even run the El from Ohare to there easily.

Discussion in 'General MMA discussion' started by darcebandit, Jan 2, 2013.
I would love to see him fight Nate Diaz.
What is the deal with after the fight, it seemed like the Corner was reluctant to give him the Irish Flag, and then the Ref or official walked behind him after he won while he was holding it and and pointed himto the winner circle but tried to grab/cover up the flag, and Connor jogged away from him..... Connor also Jerked the Flag away from his Corner.....
Anyone know anything I dont?
I feel like Nick Diaz gets an awfully bad rep. I see his attitude coming more from anger and a desire to fight and prove himself. Silva, on the other hand, is cocky.. plain and simple. He should be, he is a complete monster and the best fighter in the world, but lets not sugar coat it just because hes skilled.
Well Said, how did this get this far off topic thou....lmao
Definitely super impressed. I'm awaiting a fight with a good grappler before I decide how well he'll contend, but I have high hopes.
Wants to take proctors stop on Jersey card. 2 fights in 3 weeks. Cant see Dana signing off on that though
It's not that hard...Peter will show you.
Its a step down to fight a guy 0-1, but it'd be a fun fight and I'd like to see it. Give him the fight, he's obviously not taken any damage at all in his last one so why not?
Iaquinta gets cut, he gets money faster and possibly a ko bonus, more publicity and almost a guareenteed win with Al's style being bread n butter for McGregor.... Just sucks that Iaquinta has no say in the matter lmao...
Re-read what I wrote.
I know you didnt say this, but it was in your sig right? haha
I couldnt help myself from remembering Peter Griffing hahaha
My original sig was "I can kill 2 stones with 1 bird..."

Al iaquinta developed sudden heart palpitations when he found out Conor was gonna be his new opponent
Most people outside Ireland wouldn't have seen this, it's a really big deal in Ireland, it pulls about 700,000 viewers a week which for a nation of 6 million is pretty huge
man, don't be exposing the rest of the world to Ryan Tubridy
Irish fans are by far the most loyal to their fighters Win, Lose or Draw always got their back
the other fighter with Conor in the video is cathal pendred, he just became WW champ in cage warriors and could be fighting on the Boston card

I've heard from many readers who blame Carolina's loss to Seattle on a single coach, player or decision.
You say:
Head coach Ron Rivera lost it when the Panthers didn't go for a first down on fourth and 1 from their 34 with a 7-3 lead and 6:47 left in the third quarter; offensive coordinator Mike Shula lost it with his little passes and conservative play calling; quarterback Cam Newton lost it; Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson was lucky; the refs missed too many calls.
I was there. I watched the game again on video. No single call, coach or player lost this one. It was about nine different factors.
The foremost among them was this. The Panthers weren't good enough or decisive enough to, when Seattle was reeling, run up a double digit lead. The longer the game went, the better the Seahawks became. By the fourth quarter, the difference in talent was evident.
The Panthers needed a play -- a deep pass or a short pass that a receiver or back could take deep, a late sack or turnover. But when the plays that win games were made, the Seahawks made them.
The Seahawks were favored going in.
This week, the Panthers are. At the moment, they're favored by 3 at Buffalo.Do they have to win to contend?
It's only mid-September. But I think they probably do.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee Republicans are poised to get their first super majority — or more — in both chambers of the Legislature on election night.
Currently in the Senate, Republicans have a 20-13 advantage. The margin is 64-34 in the House, with one independent. To get a super majority, Republicans need to claim two seats in each chamber.
The last time there was a super majority in both chambers was during the 90th Tennessee General Assembly when Democrats controlled the Senate 23-9 and the House 66-32, according to legislative records.
State Republicans have never held a super majority.
But GOP leaders, including Gov. Bill Haslam, believe that will change after Tuesday's election, particularly considering Republican legislative candidates have a financial advantage in just about all their races.

Tell us something interesting about your office building, office or city hall, county courthouse, where ever it is you work.
I'll go first: My office has a 4 foot wide heavy oak paneled door. This was so they could get the cadavers on tables in to the room. My office is in an old funeral home. It was a corpse prep room. You can still see where the plumbing was. Its spooky, but it does have nice woodwork.
An office at a previous job was a room where soiled doves or as they are referred to now, Hos used to ply their art. It was an old hotel in the downtown. We used to joke that when they moved the hookers out and brought in the politicians nothing really changed except the amount you paid, and neither would give you a kiss first.
