The Republicans have another presidential candidate — former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty. His formal campaign launch Monday in Des Moines, Iowa, comes after lots of possible GOP candidates decided not to go for it — and that has many in the party grousing about their choices.
Pawlenty's announcement was no surprise. While other potential candidates have been coy or ambivalent, Pawlenty's been all-in for months, visiting the early states to lay the groundwork for a campaign.
In Des Moines, he attacked President Obama, saying the president hasn't told the truth and that his policies had failed. But Pawlenty also echoed the unifying message Obama used when he ran for president in 2008.
"No president deserves to win an election by dividing the American people — picking winners and losers, protecting his own party's spending and cutting only the other guy's," he said. "The truth is, we're all in this together. So we need to work together to get out of this mess."
No 'White Knight'?
Pawlenty opened his bid for the Republican nomination by promising to grow the economy, shrink the government, tell the truth, and unite the country.
He said he's willing say no more bailouts to Wall Street and tell Iowans that subsidies for ethanol have to be phased out. He came out in favor of raising the retirement age for Social Security and means-testing Medicare. But he balked at endorsing the plan by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) to give seniors vouchers for health care.
The Democratic National Committee greeted Pawlenty's announcement with this ad about his record in Minnesota:
"Gov. Pawlenty eliminated the program that provides health care to 33,000 low-income residents," says the announcer. "The governor has systematically been cutting programs for the poor since he took office."
Pawlenty's announcement follows decisions by Mitch Daniels, Haley Barbour, Mike Huckabee, Donald Trump, John Thune and Mike Pence not to run.
Republican strategist Rick Wilson says many dissatisfied Republicans are looking for someone who doesn't exist. "The grumbling comes from the fact that people want perfection," he says. "They always want that white knight."
Wilson says no candidate fires up the social conservative base or unites the Republican establishment.
"The field is becoming set. I think there is still room in the next 30-45 days for a few other people to poke their nose into it. But I don't think there's a lot of interest from anyone who draws the Republican base out as a cheering hoard at this point," he says.
Mitt Romney: The Front-Runner
Most of the dissatisfaction is focused on the candidate who is as close to a front-runner as the GOP has at the moment, Mitt Romney. Wilson says the former Massachusetts governor has charisma and good ideas, and a campaign infrastructure.
"But there's one glaring error, and that is he doubled down on the individual mandate on Romneycare. And Republican base voters know ... that Barack Obama will beat Mitt Romney's head, and on that single issue, destroy the morale of the Republican base, and therefore win the election. That's why a lot of Republicans have dismissed Mitt Romney as a serious candidate," says Wilson.
Republican strategist Rich Galen who used to work for Newt Gingrich, disagrees: "I'm not a Romney supporter by any stretch, but at this point, I think it's fair to say that Gov. Romney is the front-runner until somebody knocks him off."
Galen notes that earlier this month, Romney was able to raise $10 million in one day.
"That speaks volumes to the fact that a lot of people in the Republican Party — maybe not in the 150 people that ... talk about this stuff all day, but to a vast number of Republican primary voters — I think Gov. Romney is perfectly acceptable," says Galen. "And I think if he gets the nomination, he will be a difficult guy for Obama to beat."
That's hardly a consensus view among Republicans. The GOP presidential field may be set, but Republican votes are far from settled. And the desire is still strong for alternatives.
There are several fantasy candidates out there — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, or former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, for example — but not a lot of time for any one of them to become a real-life contender. Copyright 2011 National Public Radio. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/.

Madeline Finnerty
Heirloom Meals Radio talks with Madeline Finnerty who shares with us the culinary traditions of 3 generations of women out of Stockbridge, MA. Her interview, memories and recipes truly embody what the Heirloom Meals project is all about as she takes us down food memory lane as a young girl growing up in an Irish/German family in the Berkshires where the power of observation effects her cooking style and know-how today. We will be positing visuals of Madeline's handwritten, heirloom recipes and hopefully some video of her in the kitchen. if you are local and listening, maybe your family story overlaps with Madeline's, in which case please please share! Did you buy fudge at the church bake sale or grow up on Goodrich street too? Let's try and piece together the local Heirloom Meals history of our hometown!

NORMANDY — Attending the Bowen School south of Normandy was a family affair for Grace Merdian and her niece, Bonnie Etheridge. Both women attended the school as did Merdian's mother, Minnie Cook.
"I went all eight years there," Merdian said. "There were just two in the class, Harold Wallace and myself."
Merdian has good memories of her school days, particularly in the cold weather.
"It was a big school, and they had plenty of space. And in the wintertime, we would go down, and we'd learn how to square dance," she said.
There was also a creek about half a mile away that would freeze over every winter.
"They would let us walk down there, and we'd skate," she said. "And then the teacher would go out and ring the bell 10 minutes before it was time for school to start, and we'd all come back."
Merdian had several teachers in her years at Bowen, but Alma King was one of her favorites.
"She lived in Manlius, and we just loved her; she was really, really nice," Merdian said. "On the weekends, she might take a couple girls home with her to spend the weekend.
Merdian remembers going to the Meeks School to play baseball and having the graduation ceremony held in Manlius with other nearby country schools.
Etheridge only attended the Bowen School for a couple of years, and her memories are sketchy, other than remembering she was the only girl in her class.
Oh ... and the storm cellar.
"There was a storm cellar out in the backyard," she said. "The boys used to play in it at recess."
One of Etheridge's classmates was Carolyn Kuehl, who attended the school for five years until it closed in 1949 and was consolidated into the Walnut Grade School.
Kuehl remembers a nice building, made of concrete block and with hardwood floors and a tin ceiling.
"It was larger and nicer than a good share of the country schools," she said.
Kuehl also remembers the aluminum pillars on the front porch.
"I can still remember leaning up against those poles in the winter and feeling they were cold," she said.
Kuehl also remembers the chemical toilets — one for the boys and another for the girls — and the coal stoker that provided heat for the classroom.
"I remember having a big register in the wall, and on cold mornings when we got to school, we'd all stand in front of the register, huddled up, trying to get warm," she said.
For awhile, it was the job of teacher Etta Hasenyager to fill the stoker in the morning.
"She finally rebelled against doing that, and one of the boys, I think it was Harold Bohm, was hired to do it," Kuehl said.
But janitorial duties were part of the teacher's assignments.
"I can still remember her wearing brown cotton gloves dusting during recess and noontime, and running the dust mop on those hardwood floors," Kuehl said.
Kuehl remembers the plays put on each year, and how curtains were strung over a wire to provide a stage area on the flat floor. Events such as the plays, PTA meetings and any other school events were big social functions.
"Everybody in the neighborhood came; it wasn't just people with children," Kuehl said.
Kuehl said that by the last year of school, there were only six children left in the school.
"We were really sad when our school closed," she said. "In fact, some of the children had left the year before because their parents thought they would get better schooling."
But life went on.
"It was exciting to go to a new school," Kuehl said.

I am rather new to programming, I have done for loops before, but I can't see why this doesn't work.
The following program is a fare calculator which I have been practicing on, I would really appreciate if someone could explain why this loop is printing "Add another drop-off point?" then breaking the loop after that and proceeding too the next section of code.
Code Java:
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) { System.out.print("\nAdd another drop-off point? "); mulDropOff = scan.nextLine().toLowerCase().trim(); if (mulDropOff.equals("yes") || mulDropOff.equals("y")) { System.out.print("\nEnter drop off point: "); nextDropOff = scan.nextLine().toLowerCase().trim(); addDropOff = addDropOff + nextDropOff; sur = sur + 5.0; System.out.print("\nEnter extra distance (in km): "); addDist = scan.nextDouble(); dist = dist + addDist; } else { break; } }

Hi all
I am new, this is my first post but I have been lurking for about 2 months. So here's my story. I am married for 6 years together for 10,we have 3 kids together, and I have had about 5 DD since we've been together. The last straw happened in October when I had that burning feeling that my WH was having an affair again. I did some investigating and sure enough he was. Foolishly I called the OW and she claimed that she didn't know H was married.
FFW to 2 weeks after I called OW, was the day I had planned to have a sleep over at my parents with my kids but later decided against it without informing WH. As I got home I saw WH and OW walking down our street,I confronted them and all WH did was to walk away in shame. OW asked to fetch her overnight bag from my house. This whole incident tore me apart, but the goodness in me decided to give our M another chance.
So on 12/23 while WH slept I went through his chatting app,and lo and behold,he's still seing this woman. She is sending him her pics,him commenting on how much he loves her ass and and and. I am so broken, so torn,devastated.
I know what I need to do but that's not what I want.
Please give advise, how do I deal with all this hurt without showing weakness.
Please help.
Edited to change OM to OW...

whats that quote?
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me!
You deserve better than that!! :)

I actually like the saying on Go Ask Suzie better: "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, more shame on you."
I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I would recommend checking out the 180 program under BS FAQs for ideas on how to proceed. Also, keep posting here. Let others who've been there give you the strength you need to mive forward.
I understand how hard it is, but he's shown he's not interesting in changing right now. And you DESERVE better. But you need to believe that.
painfulpast posted 12/28/2013 14:56 PM
Hello, and sorry you find yourself in this situation.
First, know it isn't your fault. Your husband cheats because he has issues and he has some really poor coping skills. Cheating is a very easy way to make oneself feel better, and that's what he's doing.
Your H is a serial cheater, meaning he continues to be involved in affairs over and over and over. He most likely will NOT stop without some serious counseling. Is he in counseling now?
As for you, I think by now you know that your H won't stop cheating. As this is his 5th time, you've basically given him approval to cheat. There have been no consequences, he's lost nothing. What reason does he have to stop?
As painful as this is to admit, your pain won't stop him. You know that. You've been through this 5 times already. He may feel bad, but the good feelings he gets from cheating outweigh the bad feeling he gets from your pain.
You need to decide if you can live with cheating, or if you will not tolerate this. You need to decide what your boundaries are, and stick to them. If you do nothing, this will happen again. This is all but guaranteed.
You wrote OM several times, but I think you meant OW - OM means Other Man, OW means OW. OW doesn't care about you, or that he's married with children. She was humiliated when you confronted and she had to ask for her things from the house. And yet, here she is again. She's a predator - she is out for herself.
Is OW married? If so, you should tell her BS. Her husband deserves the truth, and it will most likely force her out of the picture.
Even if OW exits your life, your H will find another. Again, 5 times tells you there will be a 6th.
It's your choice at this point. What are your boundaries? What will you accept in your marriage and life? What will you not tolerate?
If it were me, I would demand he stop cheating immediately, and that he enter IC - at least once per week. If he will not do that, then I would tell him he needs to live elsewhere and I would begin divorce proceedings immediately. Again - no consequences = no change. You filing for divorce may wake him up. If it does, great. He can go to counseling and you can try to heal together. If not, then you've saved yourself more years of cheating and heartbreak.
What I've suggested is scary. It's life changing. It's hard. But as is often said here - to save your marriage, you have to be willing to lose it.
When it becomes hard, remember that your WH's actions are the example being set for your children, as are yours. You are telling your kids with actions that being disrespected and lied to is acceptable. He is showing them that lying and cheating are fine. That betraying loved ones is fine. That selfishness is fine. You know these are not things you want your children doing, and yet this is what they are seeing.
I'm NOT saying you are being a bad parent, at all. When in such a traumatic situation as being betrayed, it's hard to see all the angles. Your kids' perception of acceptable is probably not what's first on your mind. If you think you've kept this from your kids - you most likely haven't. Kids are far more perceptive that we give them credit for. They may not know the details, but they probably sense something is wrong.
Please, take a stand and demand better for yourself.
And yes, some will simply question why you've stayed. It's an easy question to ask really. The answer is that, despite the pain, you love your H. We all loved our spouses when they cheated. And love doesn't end at betrayal. If it did, as I've said before, this site would not exist. We would be betrayed, instantly stop loving the betrayer, get divorced, case closed. No hurt, no healing, nothing. Love grows over time, and it takes time to die.
You will probably always love him in some way - he's the father of your children after all. However, that does not mean you have to accept this horrible treatment. Loving him is destroying you.
Boundaries - what are yours, and how will you enforce them?

So sorry you find yourself here, Torn, but very glad you have posted. That really means you know you want change and want help achieving it. Or at least company. And you are in good company here, and many have walked this way before and are now leading happier more fulfilled lives.
the goodness in me decided to give our M another chance.
Can you analyse this a bit further (for yourself)? At the same time, read up on the 180. This is not a communication technique as is sometimes construed, but a way of regaining the focus onto oneself and not on the WS, so you can see yourself through YOUR eyes, and begin to value yourself again. 5 Ddays would suggest you might need some help with that.
Hugs to you. You've started your journey now and that's fantastic. Keep looking forward, not over your shoulder, there's better times ahead.

Adding that a racing heart - high adrenalin - can sometimes be helpful for action, but may be detrimental also. Exercise, meditation, yoga, swimming etc all might be very helpful for you to keep you calm and centred and focused.
I do hope you find your anger soon, it does feel like you are turning it on yourself currently.
mefirst posted 12/28/2013 15:22 PM
((torn)) This is such a horrific nightmare, I'm so sorry. I lived through my own similiar story - please know that you'll be OK. But you need to start moving on with your life, for the good of the family. Get your support system set-up now; I always felt stronger with the help of my family and friends. Surround yourself with their strength, it will help you when you need emotional, financial, or just plain 'sense' when you talk through next steps. If possible, throw him out of the house - let him know you're serious and quite capable of getting life in order without his cheating ass. You WILL be fine - in time, you WILL, I promise. Let your family and friends in on this terrible secret, and let them help you. You will feel better and quite frankly, you will gain strength with their love.

Thank you all for your replies, I have stated I had 5 DD but I can only confirm 2 as those are the one's I have proof, the other 3 were intuition and WH denied having those affairs.
@painfulpast - thank for correcting me, I indeed meant to type OW not OM...edited first post
WH is not in IC nor any kind of counselling. OW is not married from what I know so for her WH is her true love(from the messages I read)

I'm sorry that you have found yourself here. You must be an incredibly strong woman to have remained with your H. Please take care of yourself and your children. Stay hydrated, try to eat and keep yourself strong~do it for your children if you have to. They will need you to help them get through this.
What happened after you brought the OW's belongings to her? Your husband walked away in shame but after OW left, what happened then? Was he contrite, did he explain his actions, did he end the relationship? You have given him a second chance, but did he truly earn the chance to reconcile? I am going to suggest reading two books, namely After the Affair and How Can I Forgive You? These books give a good starting point on how to deal with the emotions, anger and hurt that following an affair.
I would also recommend that you start take actions to protect yourself and the children. Start a separate savings account and start putting money away. Think of it as an contingency fund. Open a credit card in your own name and save it for an emergency. Gather financial information and keep copies in a safe place. Get some legal advice. You may not be ready to D, but if events start moving quickly, you want to be in a strong position to deal with your H and his OW.
Take your strength and instead of sinking it into your M, start using it for yourself and the children. You have used your energies to keep your M going for too long. Switch your focus to saving yourself and your children.

So sorry you find yourself here but please know you deserve so much more than you are accepting.
It is a very scary time for you but it will never get better while this pos is in your life. Five years down the line, perhaps a couple more kids (how many more whores) and how much more trapped will you be?
Don't do this to yourself! He is not worth it and you are worth so much more.
I hope you find the courage to move on, hugs x

What are you so torn about "FeelingTorn"?
Your husband is a cumbucket. Do you really have so little respect for yourself, that you are willing to put up with his crap?
I apologize if that comes across as harsh, but you need to realize that nobody deserves to be treated like this.
Also if that was an OM asking to get his stuff from my house, i would have falcon punched him through a tree. (Not really, but you get my point).

The 180 will help you. So will anything that turns your focus to why you tolerate bad treatment. I tolerated bad treatment for too long, and while I'd rather be happily coupled, since that is not possible with my WS, I am so much better off without him. Took me too many wasted years to realize.
I could be wrong and this probably sounds harsh. You are in a harsh situation and your hope is keeping you from really taking care of you.
I realize it's very complex, and then it seems simple in some very basic ways.
You dont want to do what you need to do because you are not able yet to understand that the day will most likely not come when he is able to care about your needs.
It's heartbreaking. And one day it's empowering. You have to trust that you will be okay.

Thank you all, my heart and my head are on different levels. Right now I feel like our marriage didn't stand a chance. We have never been to MC pre and post getting married or even after the first DD. Is there a reason where all this can be manifesting from? He had a really rough upbringing, he even witnessed a girlfriend shoot herself on the head when he was 17, he never went to IC for that.
I am no counsellor but I think he has deep emotional issues, a part of me wants to help him thought it all as he is a great man. Is he just under the category "when good people do vad things". I don't know, maybe this is my heart talking.

That does put an entirely different slant on things. Nothing justifies cheating but he clearly needs help. This is not for you to do or for you to sacrifice yourself on the altar of his dysfunction.
Three things need attended to: you, him, and the marriage (one way or the other). The marriage can only be attended to after and in tandem with the first two. You need to look after yourself first and foremost, you are not your husband's mother, nursemaid or counsellor and must not assign yourself those roles, no matter how caring you are (and you sound very caring, I hope you can begin to prioritise caring for yourself).
But you can suggest to him that help is available for him, should he want it. But it has to be something (therapy, education, whatever it might be) that he wants for himself.
Please do read the 180. Unless you begin to focus on you and your needs, your caring nature will continue to be taken for granted and taken advantage of.
TheAgonyOfIt posted 12/29/2013 07:54 AM
Your question is extremely important.
My WS has deep emotional issues too, and I do feel compassion for what I know are very deep wounds. But i allowed that empathy and caring for him to excuse his bad treatment of me. Sometimes we can have too much empathy for for others and really and truly not enough for ourselves! We matter too!
And in the end, no matter his upbringing or his experiences, as unfortunate as they may be, as an adult he really truly needs to take responsibility for himself. That means getting the help he needs to manage his emotions so he stops acting out, in his case sexually.
And at some point, particularly if he is not amenable to IC, and recognizing and dealing with his issues, it really wont matter why he treats you poorly. That is and will be very sad, and you cant fix, help, beg, and otherwise change him, which is frustrating (and later empowering to realize).
What will matter is not why he treats you poorly, but that he treats you poorly.
Edith posted 12/29/2013 08:11 AM
Oh FT, I'm so sorry you find yourself suffering through this yet again. And 5 DDs? Oh my goodness!
What will matter is not why he treats you poorly, but that he treats you poorly.
I agree with this, and I might add that something to figure out is why YOU treat YOU poorly. Serial cheaters tear down self esteem and cause such immense emotional damage to their spouses. You need to focus on your healing and try your best to get him out of your head.
I would definitely speak to an attorney to find out what your rights are.
WH and OW walking down our street,I confronted them and all WH did was to walk away in shame. OW asked to fetch her overnight bag from my house.
Sounded like the perfect opportunity for a ritual homicide (not condoning violence, just fantasize a lot). Your husband and OW are gross pigs (apologies to pigs). I hope you can put the hurt aside and find your righteous anger. That can propel you into actions that will be very helpful for you at this point.
Take care my dear.

Seventy years later, local veterans believe that D-Day is not a day that should be celebrated, but a day that should be remembered and honored.
Seventy years later, local veterans believe that D-Day is not a day that should be celebrated, but a day that should be remembered and honored.
"I think it's important because there were thousands of men who died for their country so that we can have this stretch of peace that we're having right now," said C.J. Christ, director of the Regional Military Museum in Houma.
More than 155,000 American, British and Canadian forces landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily fortified coast of France's Normandy region. Allied forces suffered more than 12,000 casualties as part of the largest seaborne invasion in military history.
Houma resident Ray Marcello served in the 8th Air Force during World War II. The 91-year-old veteran said he remembers D-Day like it was yesterday.
"I can remember it as clear as can be. It's something I'll never forget," Marcello said.
"It was just another day for our mission," he added. "Prior to D-Day we flew five missions bombing Pas-de-Calais. ... We bombed that area from June 1 to June 5. On the 6th, we thought we were going to the same area, but our orders were to go north."
Marcello said he and the rest of his unit had no idea where they were going and wouldn't know until they were airborne. They would bomb the area about 15 minutes ahead of where the Canadian Army would invade, just north of where the U.S. Army would land.
Even then, they still didn't have any idea of the magnitude of their mission and wouldn't until they turned around.
"On our way there, we didn't see anything in the water. But when we turned around, then we saw all of the ships in the water. ... It was a magnificent thing to see," he said.
Korean War veteran Linton Doucet said it was "heartbreaking" to see the amount of crosses at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in France.
"I think that's one time we had Jesus Christ superstar on our side," he said. "This was something that they had to win. They had to try."
Many veterans agree the day should be remembered for the amount of lives lost to protect the U.S. and its allies.
"D-Day is very important. It changed the war. We lost a lot of lives and all. It was one of the most important events in history," Doucet said.
World War II and D-Day showed America's "determination as a nation to stand up for what had to be done," Christ said.
Many of those involved in the D-Day invasion have died in the seven decades since, but that only increases the day's significance, he said.
"We've had wars since, but we're not talking about the 16 million in uniform like they had then. The ones who are in uniform today are volunteers. That's their profession. They chose to do it. WWII, those men were drafted and sent over whether they wanted to go or not. It's an entirely different scenario," he said.
Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., authored legislation with Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, directing the secretary of interior to install a plaque or inscription at the National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., with the transcription of President Franklin Roosevelt's prayer that he read over the radio to the nation on D-Day. On Thursday, the Senate unanimously passed the measure, called the World War II Memorial Prayer Act of 2013.
"The prayer that will be included on the WWII memorial is not about how the war was won, but about why it was fought. The reason we fought the war is the most important lesson for our country. We can never fully repay the debt we owe our greatest generation," Landrieu said Thursday in a written statement.

Jason Puncheon believes the only way is up for Southampton after shedding the nerves that hampered their start to the season.
Saints' return to the top flight after a seven-year absence was hardly ideal, with just one win in 11 matches leaving them 19th. Nigel Adkins' side shipped a league-high 29 goals in the process, but a new-found defensive resolve has resulted in a dramatic change in fortunes and they are now up to 15th in the table.
Southampton have only conceded four goals in their past six matches and collected their second clean sheet in Saturday's 1-0 win against fellow strugglers Reading. Asked what has changed at the club, winger Puncheon said: "I think it was nerves."

What is Typesetting?
I have been questioning myself what is my role in fansubbing. Ever since I got into anime drawing in 2001, I strayed into fansubbing business. Now, I'm just a good-for-nothing typesetter for fansubs with about four years of typesetting experience. The real question is "What is typesetting?"
After talking to several leechers and fellow fansubbers, sadly they don't fit into what my definition of typesetting is. Here are the questions and answers I have in mind.
1. Is styling (subs/karaoke/notes) typesetting?
2. Is making fancy karaoke effects typesetting?
3. Is designing your logo or banner typesetting?
4. Is designing your group logo to match with the actual logo effects typesetting?
Then what really is typesetting, since styling != typesetting, logo != typesetting, karaoke != typesetting? Read here for a more mathematical proof of the statement using the definitions given in the dictionary.
To me, an ideal typesetting is to blend in the text into the video as much as possible, making it undifferentiated from the actual source. In fansubbing, this applies more to making signs than anything else (credits [credits have its beauty too], logos, karaoke, and notes [just as a note: notes are considered as styling]).
Note: signs in fansubbing means that the new text is typesetted on the actual object with the original text.
This is my definition. Based on that definition, more questions on making "signs" have arrived in my mind. And I have answers for them, but they're my mere opinions. So I just want to listen out what other people think.
0. What is the definition of typesetting?
Spoiler for pichu's thought:
1. What is the difference between styling and typesetting, since I intend to separate them out?
Spoiler for pichu's thought:
2. Then what are the difference between 'good' typesetting and 'bad' typesetting?
Spoiler for pichu's thought:
3. What will I do if there are not enough room to do an ideal typesetting (based on my definition)? In doing so, will I allow myself to ruin the video itself, or is this what I call as a good typesetting?
Spoiler for pichu's thought:
4. Will putting notes (aka styling, not typesetting) be better than typesetting actual signs when I am required to add stuff to the drawings?
Spoiler for pichu's thought:
5. Since I am good with Photoshop to blend objects in pictures, should I allow myself to recreate what are already on the screen at my own skills?
Spoiler for pichu's thought:
6. What are real typesetters? Differentiate them between stylers who claimed to be typesetters and typesetters who can do signs, credits, and logos.
Spoiler for pichu's thought:
Examples of the situations include:
7. If the signs contain particles or multiple shines, should I simulate them too, thereby adding stuff what perceives on the video?
Spoiler for pichu's thought:
8. What should I do to signs that don't have the room for my new typesetings? Should I make 'extensions?' Should I shrink the text? Will it be better to replace the entire original text to my new text? Or, should I do some effects (i.e. basic fading) on the actual text to yield to new typesetting in the middle?
Spoiler for pichu's thought:
9. If the text in the sign are too crowded and that they fill up the entire screen, should I allow myself to even modify the original text to allow room for the new text, or should I replace the original text with the new text? (same as Q8)
Spoiler for pichu's thought:
Anyways, these are the questions I have in mind. I don't want to lead anyone in the "bad" direction, which I am fond of, before I am fully 'retired.'
Also as a note, my tools of trade are Photoshop and After-Effects for typesetting. I started out with .ass typesetting.

Having had a discussion recently, I'm asking myself now about what's useful/prettier typesetting.
- extensions and the like, leaving the original japanese
- removing japanese, putting only english there
I'm a bit more on the side for removing japanese, as it seems to me it sometimes gets way too crowded on the screen, and stuff like vertical text just doesnt read well.
On the other side, when replacing all japanese shop signs with english ones, it's like you're moving the whole scene to america (for instance).
Until now i've been extending and leaving the japanese there, but i doubt any of the leechers will mind when i just replace it with english. Fellow fansubbers will care though (leading to flaming hot discussions here on asuki), so i wonder what the response will be when i decide to just replace the japanese with english
Also in my book goes:
Styling = styling subtitles/notes and the like
Typesetting = Sign(ing?); Logo's require the same skills most of the time
Karaoke something wholly different

@endy: I treat everyone the same. Didn't we all start out with 'wannabe?' Perhaps, people can discuss what are the true meanings of typesetting.
@dj_tjerk: as for extensions, since you're treating yourself at the same level as the artist by recreating the object in the anime, why not just credit yourself as the artist in the opening/ending credits? ;o
@sangofe: that was asked in Q8 (effects can be crossfading, morphing works well too), but my objection to that is that it will never look blended in time.
It bugs my mind that after such hard work in typesetting, they got overlooked or turned down by other people.

Anyway, i don't really buy anime, but i remember the R1 FMA logo being totally different from the original logo in the anime. Also (not blaming anyone), a.f.k. seems to remove the japanese sometimes too, putting just english in place (SZS ep1, never watched beyond that ), and i have to say it doesn't look half bad.. At least half the screen is not filled with gibberish/random characters (that's what they look like to me, 'noise')
Also.. typesetters are proud of their work, and they should be (as afaik, i costs the most time out of every fansubbing 'job'). However, most of the time there's a limit to how much time/effort a person can put in, and then, as a typesetter, you have to make compromises. If every signs were to be made perfect, one would still be working on one's first episode. Also, for one person, animating particles is hell, when for the other, drawing in photoshop is hell. Noone's perfect. Plus, signs look easier when you don't have to do it (meaning, you don't work in that particular group working on that particular show), and often people don't realise how much time is put into getting a sign 'decent', or getting the other signs 'perfect'.
I don't know what point i was trying to make; i guess.. i don't really have one :P

@endy: Unfortunately, most people I talked to don't think that way. Then it comes into my mind, why spending so much time in typesetting. The reason is that I enjoy it and I like modifying the original animations; it's a hobby here and then.
In fansubbing, unfortunately, the jobs come down to the following priority (1 being the highest):
1. Translation
2. Editing
3. Timing/Encoding
4. Styling / Karaoke
5. Logo and Typesetting
---> Unless it's really bad... Like garbage encodes or broken Engrish. But, let's say - so-so encodes as oppose to good encodes, or okay English as oppose to fluent English.
As one factors in, typesetting is minor in the fansubbing field. Most people I know put styling more important than signs (but if it's softsub, styling doesn't count - leechers don't really care about overriding fonts and colors). So this depresses me more. I think somehow we should have a poll like this, so that I can get a better picture of what others feel.
@dj_tjerk... Let's pick an example... say you're a typesetter for an episode that fills up about half of the time with pure signs... And, you need to modify pictures almost half of the time in order to have the signs typesetted. Then the question arrives in my mind: shouldn't you also be credited yourself as the artist instead, simply because you are recreating half of those scenes? lol
As for logo designing and karaoke designing, sometimes one can say they're typesetting too... like putting the karaoke on a book that's on the ending theme, or having the logo to simulate exactly the same as the original logo. But really, typesetting is just to define some formats to some text. Yet, I see it otherwise.

Basically if you break the word down, Typesetting (or Type-setting) would be placement of text (or 'Type').
This typically in practice is referring to Signs / Various baloons & popups, however over the years I've seen many sub-catagories come out of typesetting to encompass jobs that are vaguely bouncing around the borders of what would be considdered "Typesetting"
Karaoke Typesetting - Not really 'Typesetting' I guess since most of Karaoke is TIMING and Styling, but it does involve placement components, including the technical elements.
Credits Typesetting - I'd say sure, it's usually placing the credits in appropriate locations (and styling) so that it blends in with the actual credits.
Title / Logo Typesetting - Can be, it's not really about placement though, it's more about matching. Since this is what I usually spend most my subbing time doing, I've stopped referring of myself as a typeset, and just an AFX Guy.
Basically when you break it down though, Typesetting has it's science and artistic elements, but I'll agree with you that Styling the text is not typesetting, more artistic direction.

Ok pichus, now im confused, what exactly is the point you're trying to convey? Are you trying to put 'typesetting' on some kind of pedistal apart from other variants? Or are you just trying to explain the difference to everyone? The context for your posts are seeming to lose thier clarity.

>>> Once again I am confused, are you explaining to me, or in general? <<<
That reply is in general. I don't doubt your experiences... But having placements and formats isn't enough in credits and many elements, as depicted in your definition of typesetting. Hence, it needs to be amended in fansubbing definitions, I believe.
And, all typesetters [if not most experienced ones] can time... which is why I forgot timers (timings).
|2008-02-17, 21:10
|Link #13
As for timing, as long as the text doesn't disappear (about) 1 frame after scene change (or appear 1 frame before), it's not really a problem for me. (applies to karaoke too if the kara FX-er chooses not to use any fading effect)
(and yes, I'm pointing the latter part esp for certain group that has great kara fx but missed the timing to the point it bothers me)
- and -
I'd say styling is part of typesetting (since at least it involves text placement in video)

Urgh. Talk about how you good you are at AFX all you want but the fact is that you're trying to redefine a word with a well-known meaning. Don't do that. A more conventional definition can be found here: http://aegisub.cellosoft.com/docs/Typesetting
Edit: after reading the post in its entirety, it seems more like some sort of style guide for sign typesetters. Okay, that's fine but I don't see why you have to try to redefine parts of the standard English vocabulary to do it. I also don't see why people are so eager to say that karaoke and/or logos aren't typesetting. It's presentation of textual material, how can it not be typesetting?
Edit2: apparently this turned into a typesetter circlejerking thread.

@TheFluff: Perhaps, the right word for us isn't typesetting. And, I'm not here to redefine the word. I'm hoping to clarify it in a fansubbing job. An example is that "fansub" doesn't even exist in English vocabulary, until people coin it. The "typeset" word already exists, but I am here to clarify its use in fansub practice. As for the link you just pointed out, it definitely needs to be elaborated, as it is quite obvious to anyone. Simple, no? It doesn't require a rocket scientist to figure this situation out.
@edogawaconan: and by your definition of typeset, it's kinda sounds like sign-duplicating (to me) <-- it's more than just duplicating... Duplicating signs is extremely easy... The question is how many people will lean or lean towards the direction I'm at. I only knew a very few.
@Sylf: I'm in your situation by thinking that the text in the typesetted signs should never stand out in the video (i.e., indistinguishable, i think that's what you mean), but they should never be made unreadable either.

LA Tech vanquishes another team from BCS-AQ league
Sept. 30, 2012
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) - They strike quickly, and they strike often.
They give up yards in big chunks, then come up with timely stops.
The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs (4-0) don't subscribe to the defense-wins-championships formula, but they keep on winning, and they keep doing it away from against opponents from BCS automatic-qualifying opponents.
They made Virginia (2-3) of the Atlantic Coast Conference their latest victims Saturday, even after the Cavaliers opened their playbook wide with downfield strikes and a surprise onside kick after going ahead 14-3.
The Bulldogs snuffed it out, and shortly thereafter, it was 14-10. Before too long, they went on a tear by scoring 34 straight points, then hung on to win 44-38 when Virginia mounted a late comeback.
"Crazy game,'' third-year coach Sonny Dykes said. "You saw everything that could possibly happen happen. ... I told the team after the game that we probably won this game because we thought we would.''
Last weekend, it was Illinois of the Big Ten, humbled at home 52-24 by these guys.
"We thrive on being an underdog and invading stadiums,'' linebacker Chip Hester said.
The worst part for the schools coming up short? Bulldogs sports information director Patrick Walsh said Illinois ($775,000) and Virginia ($825,000) paid the Bulldogs a combined $1.6 million to visit.
Last season, it was Ole Miss of the mighty SEC. The Bulldogs rolled them, too, 27-7.
That's an average victory margin of 41-23 in games they were paid handsomely to come play.
"We're on a roll,'' running back Ray Holley said after running for two touchdowns Saturday. Holley assumed an increased roll when top tailback Tevin King was lost for the season in the Illinois victory.
Virginia outgained the Bulldogs 625-385, but hurt itself repeatedly with penalties and mistakes, including an illegal substitution that gave La Tech a clinching first down.
The Cavaliers were whistled 16 times for 145 yards, and Louisiana Tech turned three interceptions thrown by Michael Rocco into 21 points, the last seven on linebacker Chip Hester's 32-yard touchdown return. Hester, inserted after starter Solomon Randle got hurt, also wound up leading the Bulldogs with 14 tackles.
"Bend but don't break,'' the redshirt senior said of the team's defensive mindset.
It works because the offense is averaging 52 points a game. It has 11 touchdown drives in four games that took less than a minute, start to finish, including three against the Cavaliers.
"We're out there a lot. We take a lot of shots to the face,'' Hester said of the defense. "We love our offense putting up points. It just sucks the wind out of the other team. It takes the life out of them, I feel like.''
And it has happened over and over.
The Bulldogs, defending Western Athletic Conference champions, have won 11 consecutive regular-season games, during which they are plus-24 in turnover margin. They have won eight consecutive games on the road, their longest such streak since 1975, and in those games, they are plus-21.
Credit Cameron for some of that, too. He's thrown 12 touchdown passes this season, but has yet to be intercepted. The Bulldogs were plus-three against Virginia.
"It's just unbelievable to see how far our team has come in the five years I've been here,'' Cameron said, smiling when asked what the limit is for this season. "The limit for us? It's pretty high.''
If not next week, when the Bulldogs host UNLV (1-4) in Ruston, La., about 230 miles north of New Orleans, they will know more in two weeks when the Bulldogs play Texas A&M (3-1) in Shreveport, La.

Newcastle midfielder Yohan Cabaye is champing at the bit to make his return against Wolves on Saturday after being out of action for nearly a month.
The France international is back in contention after serving a three-match ban for violent conduct following an incident involving Brighton's Adam El-Abd during the FA Cup tie at the Amex Stadium on January 28. The 26-year-old former Lille player is desperate to make his return and revealed he has upped his training in a bid to secure a place in Alan Pardew's side.
"Three matches out was so long for me, and then another week without a fixture as well," Cabaye told the club's official website, www.nufc.co.uk. "It was very frustrating how it happened at Brighton but that is football and I have learned from it. But I have worked hard to be ready and fit again."

It happened before 10:30 a.m. on the 53 bypass, just south of the North Crossing. The woman told police she was heading north when something got caught under the gas pedal.
When she tried to get it out from under the pedal the car went off the road and rolled.
Officers say the woman has non-life threatening injuries and wearing her seatbelt likely saved her life.

#1 Wisconsin Special Prosecutor Targets Supporters of Scott Walker

Supporters of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker are being targeted by a state's special prosecutor with subpoenas, demanding they turn over documents dealing with the 2011 and 2012 recall campaigns that were designed to unseat Walker.
The Wall Street Journal reports that there are two subpoenas from special prosecutor Francis Schmitz requiring the release of "all memoranda, email . . . correspondence, and communications" both inside the subpoena targets and also between the subpoena targets and roughly 30 conservative groups. Some of the groups involved are the Friends of Scott Walker and the Republican Party of Wisconsin, the League of American Voters, Wisconsin Family Action, Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, Americans for ProsperityWisconsin, American Crossroads, and the Republican Governors Association.
One subpoena also wants to ferret out who the donors to the conservative groups are, stating its demand for "all records of income received, including fundraising information and the identity of persons contributing to the corporation."
The beginning of this latest action against conservative groups originated in the office of Milwaukee County Assistant District Attorney Bruce Landgraf. Landgraf works for Milwaukee County Democratic District Attorney John Chisholm, and the timing is highly suspicious, because the subpoenas were issued just before Democrat Mary Burke announced her candidacy for Governor. Because the investigation is taking place under Wisconsin's John Doe law, which forbids the subpoena's targets from disclosing its contents publicly, the targets cannot publicly defend themselves, which makes it difficult to ascertain how severe the action is.
But Eric O'Keefe, the director of the Wisconsin Club for Growth, confirmed he received a subpoena in early October and revealed that at least three of the homes of the targets of the subpoenas were raided by law-enforcement officers who grabbed their computers and their files.

"I love London. This is my eighth time here," Whitner said. "I'd definitely be one of those to sign up for that team. It'd be cool. It's not that much different from playing all the way in San Francisco and having an East Coast game."
Wait, eight trips to London? Why?
"Just the culture. To be outside the country. All the restaurants, the nightlife, the way people speak.I learned new words this week, like what 'fancy' means."
Coach Jim Harbaugh cited two reasons for the 49ers' move out of The Grove. One, that practice field was too soggy. Two, players and coaches planned to go sightseeing Friday afternoon after practice, so Allianz Park brought them halfway closer to London.
Harbaugh scripted a list of six landmarks he was heading to see. He specifically hoped to descend into Winston Churchill's war rooms, stating: "That would be one of the highlights of my life."
The Tennessee Titans' Akeem Ayers was fined $15,750 for his hit Sunday on Colin Kaepernick that nullified an interception.
Tarell Brown on the challenges of facing Justin Blackmon: "He's a young guy coming in and making a lot of plays. You can see they're featuring him. He does a great job of using his body, strength and size. All of us DBs are going to have be on top of our game to cover him." Blackmon (hamstring) sat out Jaguars practice Friday as a precaution, but is expected to start Sunday.

Replying to myself now that i understand the matter a little more clearly.
The code in question is not from Harmony, its from OpenJDK. That's what I knew. For some reason, I thought that the parent was un aware that Sun Java is OpenJDK ( minus a few parts no one really cares that much about). There have been many people on many discussion boards that have made that mistake, so that's what I assumed the parent was inferring.
However, in my rush and caffeine deprived mind, I neglected to imagine the more likely case: Google needed the code, but didn't want to copy the GPL'd Open JDK directly to their BSD code as that would not work licence wise. So they tried to clean room it by decompiling the binary ( my guess anyway). That makes sense to me anyway. Some one did the same thing and came up with the exact same code as Google has in Android ( very similar with a few odd quirks).
Now does this either condemn Google or Exonerate it? I have no idea. I am not a lawyer, nor a psychic.

Submission + - Chevy Volt battery fail, or Fox News fail? (extremetech.com)
MrSeb writes: "Pity the poor Chevrolet Volt. It's built by GM, the company that took a multi-billion-dollar taxpayer bailout. It's a car that comes with a $7,500 government rebate. Now it's being dissed by Fox News and chain-mailers for costing more to drive than a gasoline-powered car selling for a third as much. On Fox News, Eric Bolling and Kimberly Guilfoyle of Fox's The Five somehow managed to mistake the Volt for an electric vehicle like the Nissan Leaf. 'The car ran out of electricity in the Lincoln Tunnel on my way to work... Why would you put out an electric car that gets only 25 miles?' Of course, the Volt has a petrol engine that kicks in when it runs out of juice (and most daily driving is under 25 miles!). Then, following the Fox News fail, a chain mail ('Cost to Operate a Chevy Volt') sprouted up that claimed the Volt wasn't a good deal financially for taxpayer or Volt-owner. Using a figure of $1.16 per kilowatt hour for electricity, the chain letter concluded, 'So Obama wants us to pay 3 times as much for a car that costs more than 6 times as much to run and takes 3 times as long to drive across the country.' Electricity actually costs about $.127 per kilowatt hour now; a tenth of what the chain email states. The battery pack stores 16 kWh of energy, but, says GM, not all 16 kWh are used. A full charge adds 9.6 kWh that can be used to move the Volt and another 3-4 kWh are used in charging on a 120-volt system, less with a more efficient 220-volt charger. So a full charge on 120V power consumes 13.4 kWh of electricity, or $1.57. The Fox News 25-mile jaunt thus cost 6.3 cents per mile; if the Volt got 35 miles on a charge (not unusual), it would be 4.5 cents per mile. A compact car getting 35 mpg would cost 10 cents per mile using $3.50-a-gallon gasoline."

How To Go Public As The Other Woman In A Political Scandal
If you're involved with a married politician whose cheating ways are outed to the public, you have a very difficult decision to make. Do you keep quiet, hide your head in the sand and hope to god that nobody ever figures out who you are? Do you quickly record a dance number and post it to your MySpace account, hoping to cash in at $0.99 a pop? Or do you go even bigger than that, appearing on talk shows, writing a book and eventually posing (or publicly choosing not to pose) for Playboy?
Such is the dilemma of the politician's mistress, and there are about nine women right now, even as we speak, who are grappling with these very real questions in the wake of Weinergate. Today, we met one of those women over at the Daily Beast, and she inadvertently provided some information about speaking with the media under these trying circumstances – don't chew gum while doing an interview. Here are some other things you should know about going public as the other woman:

Print circulars still have an important function
Even in our digital world where a targeted email costs a fraction of a penny, the ubiquitous print circular is the marketing workhorse of the home center business. Why? Because they work.
At Orgill's recent Fall event in Las Vegas, marketing gurus from Tyndale Advisors explained some keys to making circulars work better. Among them:
1. Plan ahead: In this model circular, the designers put together a "Fall" theme with special deals on related products. The front page is the equivalent of "walking through the door of a store."
2. Avoid clutter: Sometimes less is more. Especially when it comes to fonts. Prices should be in a consistent size and style — except for one blockbuster deal per page.
3. Integrated Marketing: Save the directions and street address for less valuable print real estate on the back page. But promote the company website early and often.
This article contains twice as much news*
*compared to similarly priced general purpose news articles
It all started with a simple question: Does Rust-Oleum's Painter's Choice Ultra Cover 2X spray paint provide twice as much coverage as other general purpose spray paints?
The answer itself is less interesting than how the National Advertising Division came to its ruling. And that story is spelled out in a fascinating, transparent blow-by-legal-blow report written by the group's review board.
Back in April, HBSDealer reported that the board — spurred on by a challenge from Sherwin-Williams, makers of Krylon — called on Rust-Oleum to change the name of its Painter's Choice Ultra Cover 2X spray paint.
Rust-Oleum appealed. The leading brand of spray paint would adjust certain marketing claims, but it would not give up its "2X" name.
The record of the dispute spells out the interesting inside story of the competing claims.
For instance, Sherwin-Williams attacked its competitor's test methodology of spraying Krylon products from a distance of 12–16 inches, twice what's recommended on the package for optimum performance.
In other words: "Dude, hold the can closer!"
The challenger also cited the failings of Rust-Oleum to provide batch numbers of Sherwin-Williams paint during the testing. So now, who knows if current Krylon formulations were used in side-by-side comparisons?
Sherwin-Williams also cited the case of Bayer's All Day Energy dietary supplement, whose very name was deemed to be an unsubstantiated performance claim back in 2007. Same thing here, went the argument.
Against this barrage, Rust-Oleum's legal and marketing team fired back. Pointing to coverage of an industry standard Leneta form 8H Spreading Rate Chart (a black and white chess board), the defense argued that 2X didn't have to beat every single color. "On average," they said, it beat the competitor's "general purpose" alternative.
They used their own apples-to-apples defense, deftly avoiding comparisons to the more expensive Krylon SuperMaxx and Krylon Rust Tough.
"Ultra Cover 2X" is not a performance claim, it's a brand, they said. And on top of everything, the defense invoked the schoolyard "no harm, no foul" rule, arguing that the challenger provided no evidence showing customer confusion.
Long story short: The NAD wasn't convinced by the testing results. Further, Rust-Oleum's appeal to keep its 2X name was denied.
But what happens next remains unclear because of the self-regulatory nature of the system. Rust-Oleum says it will "take the panel's recommendations into consideration."
In the spirit of truth in advertising, here's hoping they do just that.
Readers Respond: The fruits of e-commerce
There's no shortage of advice, systems, strategies or discussion regarding online sales. This trend begs the question: So, how are we doing?
HBSDealer.com's latest reader poll asks just that: "How would you describe the results of your company's e-commerce initiatives?"
The responses so far paint a picture of optimism in this crucial segment of retailing:
• 45% — Strong and encouraging. We've grown, and we intend to grow more.
• 21% — Stable. We're in it. We're learning. We're holding our own.
• 21% — Disappointing. It hasn't taken off as expected.
• 12% — Compete with Amazon? No thanks. We'll stick to bricks and mortar.
The survey is still active: you can take the survey here.

Aggie baseball coach Mark Johnson has been relieved of his head coaching duties at Texas A&M, Director of Athletics Bill Byrne announced on Monday.
"I respect and admire Mark for his character and he has always represented Texas A&M with a great deal of class and integrity," Byrne said. "However, our baseball program did not meet our expectations and I feel we need a change in direction."
Texas A&M ended the 2005 season with a 30-25-1 overall record and finished in 9th place in the Big 12 Conference with a final league mark of 9-18.
"I am as disappointed with the outcome of this season as anyone," Johnson said. "We played a tremendous number of close games and never could relax and play to the full potential I thought we had. I am not disappointed in the effort my players put forth throughout the year. One constant was their ability to come out each game and give everything they had."
Johnson served 21 years (1985-2005) as the head coach of the Aggies compiling an 876-433-3 (.669) record during that span at Texas A&M. He came to Aggieland in 1983 and served two years (1983-84) as an assistant coach to Tom Chandler.
In 21 seasons, Johnson led the Aggies to the NCAA playoffs on 13 occasions and nine times reached the Sweet 16. Texas A&M appeared in the College World Series in 1993 and 1999. The Aggies won the Big 12 Conference regular-season crown in 1998 and 1999 and won the Southwest Conference championship three times (1986, 1989, 1993) during his tenure.
"I am most proud of the young men who have come through our program," Johnson explained. "The players worked hard on the baseball diamond and also handled themselves with class off of the diamond. I am proud that those young men who stayed with us through their eligibility have either graduated, or are in good academic standing."
"We will begin a national search immediately and our goal remains Building Champions," Byrne stated. "If we are contending for Big 12 titles, then we will be in the picture for national championships."

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. has bought the Shady Oaks wind farm in Lee County from Goldwind International for $148.9 million, the company announced Wednesday.
Shady Oaks is a 72-turbine, 109.5 megawatt wind farm in the Lee and Compton area that began operating in June.
The acquisition continues Algonquin's aggressive strategy to buy utility, generation and other assets and achieve 15 percent annual growth, the Oakville, Ontario-based company said in a news release.
Goldwind, one of China's largest wind manufacturers, has assumed all operations, maintenance, and capital repair for the Shady Oaks through an affiliate under a 20-year fixed price agreement, the release said.
The Lee County Board voted 26-1 for the wind farm in June 2010. Then, the developer was Ireland-based Mainstream Renewable Power. In 2011, Mainstream sold its interest to Goldwind.
Algonquin owns and operates a $2.8 billion portfolio that includes utilities and competitive energy assets in North America.

Elemental Battle Academy
Update: This guide now covers the Full Version of the game. Sections that have been modified include Controls (element attacks, specifically), Characters (Missing hidden char for now), Items, and Menu.
This information covers the new game released by Fly-System called Elemental Battle Academy. You can download the demo directly from their site if you wanna try it out. I have no Japanese skills, so some stuff may not translate into exactly what I say it is, but some of it should be fairly accurate (except for the element attack names. I made most of those up, and only four or five are accurate). I created this guide as a reference to help new players learn the controls of the game and understand as many of the menus as I could figure out. So without further ado.. the playable characters!
Spoiler for Plum Scarlet:
Spoiler for Lierre Verde:
Spoiler for Noce Marone:
Spoiler for Limone Flaus:
Spoiler for Cyneria Kyanos:
Spoiler for Aprico Creer:
Before going any farther, it might be important to understand the interface of the game, so here it is.1. Character Console
2. Weapon Gauge
3. Weapon Switch Window
4. Time limit
5. Radar
6. Battle message ( Usually reports kills made on other players )
7. Points gauge per team. This does not appear in single battle, instead the kills are shown in the form of medals on the left hand side of the screen like in the previous images.
1. HP Gauge
2. Elemental Burst Gauge ( EB Gauge )
3. Elemental Power Gauge ( EP Gauge, Has 10 Bars )
1. Ammo/Ammo Gauge
2. Weapon Type
3. Weapon Name
Moving right along, this is the Main menu screen. There are 10 options starting from the first option down.
1. Story Mode
2. Arcade Mode
-Single Battle
-Team Battle
3. Network Mode
4. Shop
5. Game Option
a. Dunno
b. Dunno
c. Dunno
d. BGM Volume( Go figure xD )
e. Sound effect Volume
f. Voice Volume
g. Dunno
h. Story mode difficulty I think. If not, it's computer difficulty, though that's kind of strange when you can set the computer levels in arcade mode already.
6. Play Records
7. Dressing Room
8. Replays
9. Training Mode
10. Exit
For those of you who wanted to go through the training mode to get the hang of it, I've created a list of the steps to take to pass training mode. Please note that I may have changed my keyboard configuration a little, so some keys won't be the same, however, it will tell you what keys are needed for what step in the text box during training.
Spoiler for Training Mode:
This is the Battle Options Screen, the screen you see after you choose your characters and the opponent's characters. This is a heck of a lot of options, but I spent all night last night figuring out what all of them were. For the most part. One of them I was unsure of.
Spoiler for Battle Option Screen:
Now for the moment people have probably been waiting for: Controls and Mechanics. This explains just about everything to the game's controls.
Move - WASD keys
Aim/camera operation - Mouse
Jump/confirm choice ( Menu ) - Space bar
Air dash - Space bar while in the air. Can only air dash once.
Aim projectile weapon - hold C or hold right click on mouse
Fire projectile weapon/attack with melee weapon - Left CTRL or Left click on mouse. Melee attacks have a short multihit combo.
Weapon Switch - Press up or down on the keyboard OR scroll the mouse wheel to activate the weapon switch menu. You can switch weapons with the scroll wheel or use up and down on the keyboard when the menu is open to shift between weapons in that category. You can use left and right on the keyboard, OR press right click to shift categories between melee and projectile.
Direct weapon switching - keys 1-10 on the keyboard. You can set weapons as hotkeys. Don't know how to do this yet.
Pick up discarded weapons/Use Mounted Stage Weaponry/Cancel ( Menu ) - B.
Discard Weapons - Press B while highlighting the weapon you wish to discard in the weapon switch menu. If you are looking at another weapon and the pick-up symbol is there, you will trade the weapon you drop for the one you are looking at. Keep in mind that there is a limit to the weapons you can carry. It is measured in the stars on the weapons. Each character has a total of ten stars alotted to them. The stronger a weapon is, the more stars it has.
Take cover ( Walls/pillars ) - Stand near the wall and press Z. You can attack from cover by pressing the melee/projectile firing key, this will cause your character to look around the corner and shoot once. You can fire in succession, however you cannot fire again without detaching yourself from the wall, or so my experience has been.
Dodge/Avoid - Left Shift + WASD keys
Center camera - V
Lock on - X
Strafe - While locked on ( X ) WASD
Large radar Display - Q, displays large area radar for a few seconds. Use it to determine enemy positions.
Element Attack - E ( Consumes Elemental Power Gauge, 7 Bars ) A finishing move that consumes the EB gauge. Launches an elemental attack that changes, depending on which melee weapon you have equipped and the element of the character. There are five weapons which do not have Elemental Attacks. Those are Knives, Shortswords, Pistols, Machine Guns, and Landmines.
Elemental Burst - Shift + E ( Consumes Elemental Burst Gauge while active ) Releases the full capacity of elemental power and activates Elemental Burst mode.
Elemental Attack: Second Stage ( Elemental Burst Mode Only ) - Uses your elemental attack while in element burst mode, releasing the weapon system's maximum power output, allowing the use of a devastating super finisher move. This move is still based on the weapon equipped and Element of the character, so likewise, weapons that do not have elemental attacks do not have Second Stage attacks.
Spirit Protection - On each stage, a spirit animal appears at random inside a circular field of glowing energy. Stepping into this circle will bless your character with advanced abilities for a period of time, activating Spirit Protection Mode. The spirit for each character is different, so Plum can only pick up Haati, the fox spirit. You can see what spirit is on the map and where by opening the map with Q.
Elemental Jump ( Spirit Protection Mode ) - Shift + Space. Allows for an incredibly high jump, making places that were unreachable before accessible. Also makes for an awesome escape. Using this near a wall allows you to jump up the wall, then kick off of it. In order to kick off the wall, you have to face the camera away from the wall after you perform the first jump, and then press Shift + Space again. Holding Space will allow you to stick to the wall for a few moments.
Elemental Charge ( Spirit Protection Mode ) - Shift + Space when locked onto enemy
( Holding X ). Causes your character to fly towards and through the locked on enemy, knocking them into the air and damaging them.
Elemental Reverse ( Spirit Protection Mode ) - Shift + Space when locked onto an enemy at close range. Causes your character to jump behind your enemy at high speed.
Maximum Burst Mode ( Spirit Protection Mode ) - Shift + E. Activating Elemental Burst Mode while in Spirit Protection Mode will activate Maximum Burst mode. In this mode, attack power is greatly enhanced, and using Melee attacks on the enemy will release Element Crystals of the character's element that will float about the area they are released in. These will be explained in the next description.
Elemental Maximum ( Maximum Burst Mode ) - In order to activate Elemental Maximum, you must activate your element attack with Shift+E While in Maximum Burst Mode. This is the super final ultimate map attack, usable only once. Releases element power in a violent explosion of magic. This special is character based, and has nothing to do with the weapon equipped. This will also cause any nearby floating Element Crystals to Explode when the special finishes, making the attack even more devastating to the opponent. The Element Crystals are character specific.
Switch camera type - NUM5. Don't know what this does yet, I don't have a numberpad on my laptop, sorry. Description says it switches between objective and subjective view.
Display Scope - To use scopes with the keyboard, press C twice. I noticed that this is one of the controls I modified. This is originally NUM5 I believe. If it is, then Switch Camera type refers to switching between first person and scope.
And that's it. Credit goes to Fly-System for creating this game and for the images I used from their site. I do not own these images or this game, as they are property of Fly-System. This Guide however, is copyright © to me, ShiShiHaato 04/29/2010. If you wish to use it or host it somewhere else, you must ask my permission first.

Not sure. I wouldn't know anything about the game, other than it is being developed by Fly-System. Sorry. Can't read Japanese, so I wouldn't be able to look up the answer. If you can read Japanese, you'd probably find your answer on their site.

Same here, it was great. I'm still looking for a controller config for my logitech dual-action controller though. But the translations of the keyboard ones here is nice too, since I might be needing to use the keyboard instead..

A plastic jug had been placed on the counter near the cash register at the 7-Eleven in Sag Harbor to collect donations for Jhenny Bueno Arias, the severely injured "best employee" of Saqib Hameed, the owner of the Long Island Avenue store. Mr. Hameed is handling everything for Ms. Arias, who "has nobody," he said on Tuesday.
The plastic jug was stolen Saturday, according the store's manager that night, Muhammad-Khalid Nazir, who called Sag Harbor Village police when a man ran into the store, grabbed the jug, and drove off.
Ms. Bueno Arias, a 36-year-old single mother of four, was struck by a car as she walked home from work on Jan. 15. She was airlifted to Stony Brook University Medical Center with life-threatening injuries that included several fractured bones and punctured and lacerated organs. The car's driver, David Corigliano of East Hampton, 60, was not charged with any wrongdoing and remained with Ms. Bueno Arias after his vehicle struck her. She had been crossing the multi-lane intersection where Jermain Avenue crosses Main Street and becomes Brick Kiln Road.
While a police investigation is ongoing concerning the stolen donations, the dollar amount of which was not known, and while police study evidence captured by surveillance cameras, Mr. Hameed's focus is on his employee, whom he visits daily. In an interview on Tuesday, he said that she is staying with a friend and is unable to walk or care for herself in any way. Discharged from the hospital because she didn't have insurance, she still has a long road to recovery and is in need of constant care, he said.
"I am trying to get her into an inpatient rehab," Mr. Hameed said. He said he was grateful for donations received at a recent bake sale held at the store, and was able to pay her rent with the money raised.
Ms. Bueno Arias is treasured by her boss, who called her honest, friendly, and reliable, and she's a favorite among customers of all ages as well. "The whole town is helping with an open heart," Mr. Hameed said.
Charlie Canavan of Sag Harbor, who plans events for the Hysterical Society, will donate the proceeds from a $40 culinary stroll down Main Street on Saturday during HarborFrost. Music will be courtesy of the New Dawn Trio. Attendees have been invited to join the charitable fun at 1:30 p.m. for food and a cash bar at Il Capuccino. Other stops will be made at L.T. Burger, Page at 63 Main, and Muse in the Harbor restaurants.
Joe Lauro, another Sag Harbor resident, has gotten in touch with Mr. Hameed in hopes of assisting with money from Island Gift of Life, which he said is "there for situations just like this."
Donations can be made in cash or by check made out to Jhenny Bueno Arias and dropped off at 7-Eleven, or checks can be sent to Mr. Hameed at P.O. Box 3134, Sag Harbor 11963.
