So you hear me talk all the time about this place I hang out on the internet: Ravelry. I don't know how much I've said about Ravelry in the past, but bear with me.
Ravelry is a community of 2 million knitters and crafters (weavers, spinners, crocheters). The site was created by Casey Forbes, a Boston area software developer (we call him Code Monkey) for his wife, Jess, who is a knitter.
It has blossomed over the past several years into a huge community. It is an invaluable resource as a database of patterns and techniques, and gives knitters and crafters the ability to create a portfolio of projects. Membership is free and the site is supported by advertising from various yarn vendors, pattern designers, magazines/publications, etc.
A few years ago (starting in 2008) a group of individuals came up with the idea that the knitters ought to participate in the Olympic spirit by challenging themselves to reach new heights in their craft, while simultaneously watching Olympic coverage. They called this the "Ravelympics." The premise is simple – the Olympics brings together amateur athletes all across the world to promote athletic achievement and peaceful cooperation and competition. Ravelry does the same for knitters – it brings together an international community joined by the ritual of crafting.
This month the owner of Ravelry, Casey Forbes received a cease and desist letter from the US Olympic Committee. It asserts that among other things the "Ravelympics"
…Tends to denigrate the true nature of the Olympic Games. In a sense, it is disrespectful to our country's finest athletes and fails to recognize or appreciate their hard work.
The letter also states that
The Olympic Games represent ideals that go beyond sport to encompass culture and education, tolerance and respect, world peace and harmony.
It looks as if this is the third time that the Ravelympics have been organized, each coinciding with an Olympic year (2008, 2010, and 2012). The name Ravelympics is clearly derived from the terms "Ravelry" (the name of your website) and OLYMPICS, making RAVELYMPICS a simulation of the mark OLYMPIC tending to falsely suggest a connection to the Olympic Movement. Thus, the use of RAVELYMPICS is prohibited by the Act. Knowing this, we are sure that you can appreciate the need for you to re-name the event, to something like the Ravelry Games.
Yes. Because an internet site that includes practitioners of crafts from each and every country in the world, that provides forums for shared information and education, that promotes as a central tenet "Be excellent to each other," can absolutely in no way live up to the ideals of the Olympic Games.
Now let me be clear. I am not comparing an athlete's life-long training and dedication to his or her sport, and my sitting on my couch knitting along while watching the Olympics. However, I don't think my celebrating the Olympians' accomplishments, while rooting for them in my own home, choosing to challenge myself through my own hobby of crafting should in any way denigrate what they are trying to achieve.
I might add that there is NO commercial value to any of this – the whole point of the Ravelympics is for each knitter to challenge him/herself to knit beyond their previous achievements. For most of us this results in us trying new techniques, knitting large objects for our personal use, or joining together to form larger projects (like knitting squares for a blanket).
So where am I going with this? Well to be honest, I don't have anywhere to go. I'm just flabbergasted that the U.S. Olympic Committee is going after the people who are supporting its events and maintaining that they own the exclusive rights to the Olympics name (which I might add was named when it was held in Olympia, Greece). And to preach tolerance and harmony and then go after a large group of supporters (did I mention that Ravelry had 2 million members?) seems… well… unsportsmanlike. It certainly has lessened my interest in supporting them.
Postscript: Upon reviewing my post, and the complaints of the U.S. Olympic Committee I can find one way in which Ravelry has crossed the line. I have searched and there are a small number of patterns available for sale which feature the Olympic rings, which I can only presume have been trademarked by the IOC and the USOC. In this point, I do believe the USOC is correct that those designers should cease and desist from selling patterns that feature images to which they do not own the rights.
For a little background reading:
Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, otherwise known as the knitting writer and blogger The Yarn Harlot, began a project in 2006 called the Knitting Olympics that, in part, inspired the Ravelympics.
Ravelry can be found at Ravelry.com. You can sign up for a free membership and the forum thread with the text of the letter is here.
The groups that have formed around the "Ravelympics" are Ravelympics 2010 and Ravelympics 2012.

Watch what you eat
management specialist Namita Jain tells you how to enjoy your restaurant meal without worrying about calories
One MEAL at a restaurant can easily add up to a day's requirement of calories if you're not careful, however, it's possible to get great food without all the calories if you know exactly what to order. While the trend in Europe is to actually have the calorie count of the dishes on the menu, back home it still hasn't caught on. But with the number of healthy eaters only rising, Namita Jain, a certified clinical fitness specialist, lifestyle and weight management specialist and health instructor, shares her tips and tricks on how to eat out and stay in control. "Eating out is fun. So treat yourself now and again, without guilt," she says, adding that it is best to pick a restaurant you know and trust. "You might crave a particular dish. Please go ahead… but be aware of the nutritional value of everything you eat. And instead of finishing it all up, take a 'doggie bag' and give it to someone on your way home," she advises.
Starting out
When ordering drinks, Jain suggests skipping the carbonated ones in favour of fresh fruit juice, coconut water or buttermilk. Follow it up with salad instead of starters. "Go green! Order a green salad or mixed salad as a first course. Beware of salad dressings, as they are generally made with mayonnaise, cream, peanuts and oil. Choose a yoghurt or honey and mustard dressing instead," she says. When it comes to soups, vegetable bases are healthier and lower on calories. "Pick a sweet potato, carrot, winter squash or tomato-based lentil or bean soup. In fact, I find a large bowl of soup is extremely filling, but steer clear of cream-based ones," Jain advises. If you're at a tempting breakfast loaded with sausages, bacon and cheese, walk over to the desi section for idlis, dosa or uttapa.
Main event
"Eat your protein – fish or chicken – the lean way. So that means grilled, broiled, steamed or poached. If everything comes heavily sauced – ask for yours on the side," she says. And if the chicken breast is meant to be breaded or pan-seared, Jain suggests asking it to be broiled instead. Or if you pick fish, then ask for grilled instead of fried. "Vegetarians, look for tofu, beans, peas, sprouts and a combination of these." For those who like their partying, make sure you don't go on an empty stomach. "Eat a small fibre- rich snack before you leave your house. Since at most parties, dinners are served late, avoid eating large quantities of fried party snacks," says the expert. Tandoori specialities – chicken, fish or even a few cubes of paneer roasted in the tandoor is a healthy option. Roti wraps filled with meat or vegetables make you full but do not pile on calories, Jain shares.
Across the seas
When it comes to global cuisines, Jain suggests customising your meal. "Tortillas with salsa and shredded chicken are a great option. Skip the sour cream in favour of guacamole. Although high in calories, it has several nutrients making it a healthy option," she says. Even the all-popular pizza is not off limits if you ask for more vegetables or grilled meat on the top and less cheese.
"Asian cuisine is easiest to work with if you eliminate the fried food and carbohydrates – they steam plenty of their food," Jain explains. So opt for steamed dim sums filled with anything from mixed vegetables, pork, prawn, tofu or crab. "Tuna rolls are a lovely choice. To maximise benefits of sushi, choose fillings that are rich in omega-3s, the unsaturated fats that protect the heart and boost brain power. Salmon and tuna, which are both low-calorie, are also high in protein and give a big dose of vitamin D."
Sweet endings
While it is almost impossible to find a 'healthy' dessert, Jain's advice is to consider a fruity finish instead of chocolate mousse or malai kulfi. "If you are really craving something decadent, share a decadent dessert with others at your table."

An overview of major Chinese festivals and holidays
August 11, 2010 | Posted by Sarah
In China, a wide variety of festivals and holidays are observed, both traditional ones with long history and modern ones that attracting more and more fans.
Following are the most popular festivals celebrated in China:
1. Chinese New Year
Also called the Spring Festival, this is definitely the most important festival in China. Most people will enjoy a seven-day holiday and the celebration lasts for more than two weeks, which begins from the eve of the Spring Festival. Chinese celebrated the festival according to the lunar calendar, that is, on the first day of the first lunar month. But the date of solar calendar is not fixed, usually in February or March.
2. The Lantern Festival
This festival is on the 15th day after the Spring Festival. It can be seen as the continuation and end of the celebration of the New Year. It is called the Lantern Festival because traditionally, there will be lantern shows on that day. Tangyuan, a traditional Chinese food is eaten on this holiday.
3. Tomb Sweeping Day
It is on April 4th, 5th or 6th. This is a holiday on which we hold a memorial ceremony for the dead.
4. International Labor Day
It is an international holiday on May 1st. Chinese laborers enjoy a three-day holiday.
5. Dragon Boat Festival
This holiday was set up in memory of a patriotic Chinese poet, Qu Yuan. It is on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the lunar calendar. Dragon boat competition is usually held on that day. Besides, this is the day for people to eat Zongzi.
6. Mid-autumn Festival
Observed on the 15th of the 8th lunar month, it's also known as the Moon Festival. It is a holiday for families to gather together and watch the full moon. Moon cakes are the most typical food on this holiday.
7. National Day
It is on October 1st, to celebrate the founding of the People's Republic of China on October 1st, 1949.
Besides, there are more and more western holidays observed in China, especially among young people, such as Valentine's Day, Christmas Day and so on. Anyway, holidays in China basically aim to give families and friends a chance to gather together and share a happy time.
Among the above festivals, Chinese New Year, The Lantern Festival, Tomb Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-autumn Festival are all traditional festivals that have been celebrated for a long time. They all have their own origins, legends and special ways to celebrate. So the brief introductions are not enough. Later, we will talk about them one by one in detail.

Ok, I'll be honest. Books beginning with Q aren't that plentiful. Well, at least not in my classroom library. I guess it's lacking in that sense. Maybe I should spend some time pursuing books whose titles begin with a Q?
I have 2. Neither are anything super fancy or special. I do use them, but I don't have overwhelming feelings for them as I have for the books from A-P. But, since I'm being honest here, I'll mention them.
The first is titled Quarters. Yes, you can guess what it's about. It's part of a little easy readers series on money. It's good. I use it when we learn about money. But it's a short little book, nothing spectacular.
The other is titled Queen Bee's Scream. Sure, it sounds fascinating, but its alright. It also is a part of a Scholastic series on phonics. This one targets the long e sound. So, it's great for teaching that and we enjoy it. But not anything to write home, or to your readers, about.
I Googled books beginning with Q and there are a lot. Not many look striking at a glance and many are in Spanish with a title that begins with Que or Quien. I don't teach Spanish.
So, sorry. No wonderful advice today on a book. What about you? Any favorites that begin with Q? Anyone? Anything? Bueller? Bueller?
Thanks for hopping by!

Pandora's Cluster – Clash of the Titans
A team of scientists studying the galaxy cluster Abell 2744, nicknamed Pandora's Cluster, have pieced together the cluster's complex and violent history using telescopes in space and on the ground, including the Hubble Space Telescope, the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope, the Japanese Subaru telescope, and NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory.
The giant galaxy cluster appears to be the result of a simultaneous pile-up of at least four separate, smaller galaxy clusters that took place over a span of 350 million years. The galaxies in the cluster make up less than five percent of... Read more
NASA Telescopes Help Discover Surprisingly Young Galaxy
Astronomers have uncovered one of the youngest galaxies in the distant universe, with stars that formed 13.5 billion years ago, a mere 200 million years after the Big Bang. The finding addresses questions about when the first galaxies arose, and how the early universe evolved. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope was the first to spot the newfound galaxy. Detailed observations from the W.M. Keck Observatory on Mauna Kea in Hawaii revealed the observed light dates to when the universe was only 950 million years old; the universe formed about 13.7 billion years ago. Infrared data from both Hubble and NASA's... Read more
Detailed Dark Matter Map Yields Clues to Galaxy Cluster Growth
Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope received a boost from a cosmic magnifying glass to construct one of the sharpest maps of dark matter in the universe. They used Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys to chart the invisible matter in the massive galaxy cluster Abell 1689, located 2.2 billion light-years away. The cluster contains about 1,000 galaxies and trillions of stars. Dark matter is an invisible form of matter that accounts for most of the universe's mass. Hubble cannot see the dark matter directly. Astronomers inferred its location by analyzing the effect of gravitational lensing,... Read more
First Use of Cosmic Lens to Probe Dark Energy
An international team of astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has devised a new method for measuring perhaps the greatest puzzle of our universe – dark energy. This mysterious phenomenon, discovered in 1998, is pushing our universe apart at ever-increasing speeds. The team's results appear in the August 20, 2010 issue of the journal Science.
Hubble Opens New Eyes on the Universe
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is back in business, ready to uncover new worlds, peer ever deeper into space, and even map the invisible backbone of the universe. The first snapshots from the refurbished Hubble showcase the 19-year-old telescope's new vision. Topping the list of exciting new views are colorful multi-wavelength pictures of far-flung galaxies, a densely packed star cluster, an eerie "pillar of creation," and a "butterfly" nebula. With its new imaging camera, Hubble can view galaxies, star clusters, and other objects across a wide swath of the electromagnetic spectrum, from ultraviolet... Read more
Hubble Celebrates Its 19th Anniversary with a "Fountain of Youth"
Over the past 19 years Hubble has taken dozens of exotic pictures of galaxies going "bump in the night" as they collide with each other and have a variety of close encounters of the galactic kind. Just when you thought these interactions couldn't look any stranger, this image of a trio of galaxies, called Arp 194, looks like one of the galaxies has sprung a leak. The bright blue streamer is really a stretched spiral arm full of newborn blue stars. This typically happens when two galaxies interact and gravitationally tug at each other.
Resembling a pair of owl eyes, the two nuclei of the colliding... Read more
Galaxy Cluster MACS J0717
The most crowded collision of galaxy clusters has been identified by combining information from three different telescopes. This result gives scientists a chance to learn what happens when some of the largest objects in the universe go at each other in a cosmic free-for-all. Using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, Hubble Space Telescope, and the Keck Observatory in Hawaii, astronomers were able to determine the three-dimensional geometry and motion in the system MACS J0717.5+3745 (or MACS J0717, for short), located about 5.4 billion light-years from Earth.
A Clash of Clusters Provides New Clue to Dark Matter
A powerful collision of galaxy clusters has been captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory. The observations of the cluster known as MACS J0025.4-1222 indicate that a titanic collision has separated the dark from ordinary matter and provide an independent confirmation of a similar effect detected previously in a target dubbed the Bullet Cluster. These new results show that the Bullet Cluster is not an anomalous case.
Globular Clusters Tell Tale of Star Formation in Nearby Galaxy Metropolis
Globular star clusters, dense bunches of hundreds of thousands of stars, have some of the oldest surviving stars in the universe. A new study of globular clusters outside our Milky Way Galaxy has found evidence that these hardy pioneers are more likely to form in dense areas, where star birth occurs at a rapid rate, instead of uniformly from galaxy to galaxy. Astronomers used NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to identify over 11,000 globular clusters in the Virgo cluster of galaxies. Most are older than 5 billion years. The sharp vision of Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys resolved the star clusters... Read more
Hubble's Sweeping View of the Coma Cluster of Galaxies
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captures the magnificent starry population of the Coma Cluster of galaxies, one of the densest known galaxy collections in the universe. The Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys viewed a large portion of the cluster, spanning several million light-years across. The entire cluster contains thousands of galaxies in a spherical shape more than 20 million light-years in diameter.

I've only had short hair for a brief year in high school, not including infancy and years where I wasn't responsible for my own hair care, so I never really understood how "having a bad hair day" could be so devastating to someone. Well, with my new cut, I do. I woke this morning, and Q-ster told me, "Mommy, you have high hair!"
During a family Target run over the weekend, we came across some gloves decorated with a Darth Vader pattern. They were pretty cute and only $4, so I asked Q-ster if his hands got cold playing outside at school. Certainly my hands get cold, but he's never liked gloves.
He was intrigued, so I said we could get them, and he happily tossed the pair into our shopping basket. Rookie error on my part. My parents gently asked, "um, are those going to fit?" Right.
They were so big that they looked like oven mitts on Q-ster. I expected a tussle, but he agreed to put them back on the shelf without complaint! It was amazing how rational he was.
By the way, when I write these things, I'm in no way saying that my life or children are perfect. It's not, they're not, I'm not. However, I'm frequently sleep-deprived enough that I'll only remember these sweet moments that I record and will completely forget about the times when the boys turn into whiny noodles. I will look back in years to come and only recall the good stuff.

Uh oh, you almost look like you're sporting a Bumpit!
I got a haircut this weekend, and my new stylist (Fabio, I kid you not) lamented the lack of volume in my hair. He even compared it unfavourably to Asian hair. I think he wishes that mine WOULD stick up, but no dice.

When Captain Trevor Greene joined the military, his goal was to help fight the oppression of women in Afghanistan.
But when he was brutally wounded by the Taliban and sent home, his best friend Barb Stegemann decided to continue his mission.
She now works with Afghan farms who grow legal flower crops instead of the illegal heroin poppy, the Taliban's main income source, and creates an unlikely weapon in her fight for peace; perfume.
Stegemann has documented her and Greene's journey and the film has been winning awards around the world. On April 14 it will be screened in theatres across Canada including Halifax's Park Lane Cineplex theatre.
"Bring your Kleenex," warns Stegemann. "It's a movie that is going to stir up a lot in you and it gives people hope in their own lives."
The film delves into the aftermath of war and violence for both nations and soldiers.
"All the film festivals it's been in have had sold out audiences and standing ovations," she said about filling up theatres with over 300 people. "Audiences really connect the story with their own lives. I mean, from a doctor telling [Greene's] wife to forget about him, to then standing, having babies, walking. . . it's mind blowing."
And after winning Sephora's social enterprise program — which is awarded to 10 women worldwide — the film also reveals solutions to preventing the cycle of war through social enterprise with powerful interviews with some of the world's top thinkers.
"We don't have to sit back when bad things happen, we can find new ways to find peace and harmony in a world that's really searching for it right now," said Stegemann. "We have to be louder with our love. That's what this documentary does; it drowns out the hate."
Stegemann's message is that working safely with countries like Afghanistan can help free locals from their oppressors. She says most people don't want to go through the danger of working there, but she encourages Canadians to work with agencies who have paid offers on the ground in war-torn countries who are connected with locals who just need buyers.
"They will connect you with suppliers that need us and who do good business," she said. "They need money to buy uniforms for their children and don't have to feel tempted with bribes from the Taliban, or to start growing illegal poppy. It's a very simple process to go through on our end."
Stegemann, a Halifax native, is hoping to grow Nova Scotia's social enterprise presence by sharing her story and encouraging others to reach out to these countries too.
"Nova Scotians care," said Stegemann, who launched her company on various credit cards before going on Dragon's Den. "I was raised in Nova Scotia on welfare and our neighbors would invite us over for dinner all the time. The province is full of peace. I hope they'll join the movement and join a social enterprise. I want Nova Scotians to see that we can do business for good; I really see it as a hotbed for social enterprise. We're kind people."
Perfume War is a Nova Scotian film, which uses all Nova Scotia talent, including director Michael Melski and editor Graeme Pass.
"I've been told that people around the world really needs this documentary," she said. "It's a beautiful thing to be told this, it's another reaffirmation that this story's time has come."
Tickets to the film's theatrical debut will be sold at the box office at a regular price.
"You will not be the same person as you were when you entered the theatre," said Stegemann. "The end goal is make rebuilding sexier than destructing."

Undertones musical set for Derry City of Culture year
The Arts Council in Northern Ireland has announced £1m for next year's City of Culture celebrations.
The funding will support 18 projects, including a stage show about The Undertones written by the award winning novelist, Colin Bateman.
Other highlights include the largest ever exhibition of works by Turner Prize nominated artist Willie Doherty.
The full programme will be announced later this month.
Bob Collins, Chairman of the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, said the announcement was just a taste of what could be expected from next year's cultural festivities.
"As the first ever UK City of Culture, expectations are high for Derry/Londonderry to deliver an outstanding programme in 2013.
"This announcement confirms that there will be much to look forward to.
"The Arts Council's £1m investment will be used to support local arts organisations to deliver new projects worthy of international attention.
"The arts are helping to transform our image and show the world what we already know, that we have some of the best artists right here in Northern Ireland.
"City of Culture 2013 is an opportunity to celebrate and showcase their work to global audiences."
The announcement has been welcomed by Chair of the Culture Company Martin Bradley.
"This latest investment is great news for the city and for next year's much anticipated cultural programme.
"The top class events that have been announced today give an indication of the Arts Council's commitment to our celebrations in 2013.
"To invest a sum of £1million in City of Culture shows the faith that the Arts Council has in Culture Company's ability to deliver the fantastic full programme of events."
Colin Bateman is currently in the early stages of developing his script for Teenage Kicks.
The punk musical, set in the city during 1970s, will be produced by the Millennium Forum in association with the Nerve Centre and features songs by The Undertones.
"Even those too young to remember The Undertones first time around will be familiar with their music.
"As a band they captured the mood of a generation and their amazing energy immediately comes back to life when you hear their songs today.
"They have become synonymous with Northern Ireland and Teenage Kicks will use their distinctive sounds as the starting point to tell a story of the punk generation," he said.
The announcement comes in a difficult week for the Culture Company.
Last week the Marketing Director Garbhan Downey was suspended.
The Chief Executive of Derry City Council Sharon O'Connor announced the body wes taking over the budget for next year's celebrations.
She said the marketing function of the Culture Company was "not performing."
Mr Downey is taking legal advice on the matter.

In my last post, I explained how you could still get as much as $20 in rewards before the holiday shopping deadline. But that's only half the equation when it comes to that heady mix of rewards programs and holiday shopping.
Rewards programs aren't just to earn gift certificates for free shopping. They can also reward you for the shopping you were going to do anyway. Since the holidays tend to be when the most concentrated bursts of spending occur, it only make sure you know where to go for "rewarding" online purchases.
It's important to choose the right programs when you're looking to earn by shopping. For quick, easy rewards without spending money, Swagbucks is my absolute pick. But if you are looking to get some bang for your Internet-spent buck, it's not the way to go.
The right program for you may depend on your goal. Some people prefer money-back programs, which give back a portion of the money spent. The checks from these can be snowflakes against debt, or toward a large purchase. On the other hand, some people are perfectly happy earning points toward gift cards. They use these as gifts, to buy gifts, or simply to treat themselves to something otherwise outside the budget.
Personally, I like both kinds of programs, and so I participate in both. This gives me a couple of advantages: variety and comparison shopping. The basic fact is that no one program will cover all the stores you shop at. But if you work with two or three programs, there is a better chance that your purchase will earn you some sort of reward.
That said, you don't want to stretch yourself too thin among the various rewards sites. Do too many and it will take forever to actually earn anything. And rewards points are no good if you can't use them.
I suggest that you sign up with MyPoints and Ebates. If you feel comfortable adding a third program, Inbox Dollars should be your next stop.
As the name implies, this is a points program. My favorite ways to earn through the site are to read emails, do searches (you only need to do about one a day), and to use coupons printed through the site. You can also earn by free trial offers and, of course, shopping through the site.
I love this program and have been a faithful user for just under a decade. I use it mainly to earn points for free. But it can also give a good return for online purchases. It has quite literally hundreds of merchants to do business with. The sheer expanse of names is a tad dizzying, and it keeps growing.
And just like the merchants list, the rewards list is long. Very long. There are restaurants, computer stores, movie chains, clothing shops and more. You choose which reward to go for. Your choices are generally $25 or $50 gift cards, though some merchants offer $10 or $100 cards.
It's fabulous, and, in my opinion, it's the only points program you should bother with. And if you do take my advice, feel free to use email@example.com as a referral. I can always use more points for my holiday shopping rewards!
Ebates is my favorite cash-back site. Maybe this is because it gives you $5 just for signing up. Okay, that's definitely part of it. But the other part is that it has shops that the other sites don't. In fact, it may be the only site I've seen with a more extensive merchant list than MyPoints.
The only downside to Ebates is that it only pays out quarterly, and only if you have earned over $5. So, unlike MyPoints, you can't cash out whenever you like. On the other hand, you're getting money, not a gift card. I figure that more or less makes the two sites even.
Inbox Dollars
Inbox Dollars is also a great program. The main reason it ranks third on my list is because the other two are so terrific. Also, they have lower payout thresholds than this site.
Like Ebates, Inbox Dollars deals in regular cash. Because of this, you need a minimum of $30 before you can request a check. Like MyPoints, you can earn by reading emails. But unlike the other two, if you refer new members, you keep benefiting as they earn. You can also head on over to the survey center for some extra money. They have a seemingly never-ending supply of the questionnaires, so if you don't qualify for the first one, be sure to persevere.
Inbox Dollars does only have 58 merchants to shop through, which is important when considering your holiday shopping. But it's always worth checking to see if your store is on there. Sometimes this site beats out Ebates on cash-back.
Check out one or more of these sites, so that your only reward for holiday shopping won't be a huge January credit card bill.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'GBAtemp & Scene News' started by T-hug, Jun 10, 2008.
No idea what this game is, but the cover art looks good, might try it out
Been out in Japan for ages ... well, since May lol ...
* Comes with Hiiro no Kakera – Ano sora no shita.
* You are offered the option to change Tamaki's name the first instance you turned on the game
* The DS version comes with more scenarios, such as the Christmas date and mini games like the Japanese hotpot arrangement and the chocolate fight.
* Aside from Tamaki, every character are fully voiced by a star studded cast of seiyuus
* The game comes with a dictionary that explains the terms that appears in the game.
* The male characters' affections for Tamaki can be read any time during that game.
Because of her parents' career needs, Tamaki is moving to the countryside to live with her grand mother. Upon entering the village, she is attacked by strange creatures that seems to be invisible to everyone else but her. And just in the brink of time, a mysterious youth appeared to rescue her from her otherwise inevitable death.
Later that evening, her grand mother told her of the legend about the princess whose fate is to seal the devil blade and Tamaki realizes that she is the next in line to play the role of this princess. But she need not face this dangerous mission alone, for there are five other old families who are assigned to guard her from danger until she fulfills her mission.
There was a special edition released, too ...
Another great balanced post bob, one slight nitpick - would have been better to simply write voice actor, no need for a Japanese word in an English sentance and also note that plurals in Japanese are not the same as English so just seiyuu would have been fine, but if this was a copy/paste, then it obviously wasn't your error in the first place ; )
Good to see someone posting something worth reading, and reguarly too in the release comments, if more followed suit the comments would actually be worth reading again http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=90094&st=0&gopid=1199436&#
Complete Edit
It was a copy and paste lol
file size is 2048 mbit
Are there any other DS games like this with voice actors throughout the game?
Edit: it's not really fully voiced. The main character talks to herself most of the time which is not voiced.
I think ASH was also a big game because of jap actors
Ash is going to get the states release soon also
Let's hope. There are no 2048 mbit games yet that are either released outside Japan, or have any other language than Japanese selectable.
Oh, nice seeing another 2Gbit game.
Hope there'll be more developers taking advantage of these larger storage cards, to add more content, etc.
(primarly thinking of Music games ála EBA, maybe a sequel to EBA?)
So, this is a dating sim where you woo young demon-hunters?
Limited Edition Box Art; might be another dump if the game differs at all.
Been looking forward to this one almost as much as
Nanatsuiro Drops DS - Touch de Hajimaru Hatsukoi Monogatari (especially the really expensive version packaged with the action figures).
Basically, yeah. :> But I heard it got a really impressive story too. I won't know since it's just waaay too textheavy for me to understand.

Figure out what in the world I'm going to do to my hair. I have a hair appointment at five today. I've gone back and forth between a trim and more blonde or a lob that's more of my natural color, even though I have a love/hate relationship with my natural color. SOS send help on this one.
Brainstorm additional ways to promote theSkimm. theSkimm is one of my favorite things in this world. Watching the news leaves me feeling anxious, and it seems like online news sources are so clickbaity. I love theSkimm because it makes staying informed easy. Each weekday morning, I get an email that's basically a news briefing of what has happened in the past 24 hours; bonus points for the fact that it's non-partisan, and I can read the whole thing in less than five minutes. (And there are often book and wine suggestions, does it get any better?!) There are perks for referring people, but I'm honestly just passionate about it because I think it's important for Millennial women to be informed.
Add this week's content to Pinterest. The question that I get asked the most is how to increase page views. In my opinion, Pinterest is necessary for blogs and the easiest way to keep traffic flowing to your page. Adding pins to Pinterest can be a little time consuming, so I usually just do it once a week... and it needs to be done!
Purchase a new moisturizer. I had a makeover with IT Cosmetics products, and I loved them so much that I decided when I ran out of an item, I would replace it with something from IT Cosmetics. At the same time, I received a sample of a different moisturizer, and I loved it. So I'm currently trying to decide between Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet and IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream Moisturizing Super Cream.
Plan content. I had a crazy week, and it threw my content calendar off. So I'm going to clean it up this weekend and get it ready for the rest of Q2. I have a collaboration with Carolina Dandy going live next week, and I'm so excited!

Featuring one of the funkiest cakes I've seen in a while, Summer 2015 saw a superhero themed wedding at the contemporary and beautiful Rivervale Barn in Hampshire. Seeming an appropriate time to be sharing these images having been to see Deadpool last night and indulge my inner child, all of the weddings I have had the pleasure of documenting at Rivervale have all been such fun and the venue adds stunning gardens and amazing light all day long allowing for stunning naturally lit images to be given the treatment to develop into my fine art documentary style, enjoy a selection from the entire day below.

Chelsea Bridge One Apartments sit along the River Thames in the popular residential area of Battersea, which is loved for its famous park, children's zoo and boating lake. Known for its iconic power station, that is now being converted to luxury residences, this peaceful neighbourhood is close enough to all the hustle and bustle of central London with train and bus links from Battersea Park Station. There are a few amenities nearby including a petrol pump, supermarket, restaurants and some traditional pubs too which are frequented by locals as much as visitors.
Chelsea and Victoria lay just across the river with plenty of shopping, arts and culture to explore like the King's Road, Saatchi Gallery, Tate Britain and historic landmarks like Buckingham Palace, Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. Those looking to be based near Westminster, Waterloo or Vaxuhall for business or leisure will also find this an extremely good location to stay at.
Chelsea Bridge One Apartments are part of new modern development which include great on-site facilities like secure car parking and private gardens. Inside the apartments are well appointed to a contemporary style and feature wooden flooring, open plan living spaces, fully set up kitchens and comfy private bedrooms to rest and relax in. In addition to this, there's free wireless internet and a weekly cleaning service all included for your convenience. These are truly a great value collection of Battersea serviced apartments.

Siliconreview Team
Findings of Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) unveiled something unimaginable. And that jaw-dropping news is….
CUMC and McGill University suggest that there is a possibility to develop drugs to erase memories which triggers anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but, important memories of the past will not be affected. During emotional or any traumatic events myriad memories will be encoded, researchers affirmed that when there is traumatic experience the incidental or neutral information can trigger anxiety attacks long after.
Long term memories are created by brains by increasing the strength of connections between neurons and maintaining those connections for a long time. Researchers measured the strength of each connection and detected that the increase in the strength of each connection produced by different stimuli was maintained by a different form of a Protein Kinase M(PKM) molecule. By blocking one of the PKM molecules each memory could be erased without affecting the other.
The new study tested that hypothesis by stimulating two sensory neurons connected to a single motor neuron of the marine snail Aplysia; one sensory neuron was stimulated to induce an associative memory and the other to induce a non-associative memory.
"Memory erasure has the potential to alleviate PTSD and anxiety disorders by removing the non-associative memory that causes the maladaptive physiological response," says Jiangyuan Hu, PhD, an associate research scientist in the Department of Psychiatry at CUMC and co-author of the paper. "By isolating the exact molecules that maintain non-associative memory, we may be able to develop drugs that can treat anxiety without affecting the patient's normal memory of past events."
The researchers say that their results could be useful in understanding human memory because vertebrates have similar versions of the Aplysia PKM proteins that participate in the formation of long-term memories. In addition, the PKM-protecting protein KIBRA is expressed in humans, and mutations of this gene produce intellectual disability.

I didn't expect to love this product so much. Whenever I approached these in Douglas store out the whopping variety 6 shades available in Poland only the sheerest ones remained on the shelf and scared me successfully away with their lip-balmy look.
When I saw a more dynamic red I immediately grabbed it and took home with me.
Candy Apple is not the best shade for my cool-toned complexion. On my lips it looks more true coral than apple red and I'm sure when I get some tan it'll be suit my skin tone better. For the time being I wear it all the time at home for my own (and hubby's) pleasure and I'm enjoying every aspect of it.
It's smooth, it's creamy, it's balmy, it's glossy and the shade is so opaque and surprisingly long-lasting and fades so eavenly that Revlon lip butter is quickly becoming one of my favourite lip products ever. I'm tempted to compare it to my Chanel Rouge Coco Shine but it's even more balmy, opaque and shiny.
I don't quite like the packaging. The quilted red plastic does not appeal to my taste at all. But it works, opens easily, closes tightly and there's a clear window on the top, through which you can see the shade (helped me a lot cause, as usual, the tester was lost or stolen).
I really like the drugstore price and would be absolutely willing to get one more in Velvet Red, which seems so beautiful to me but that would involve ordering it on ebay and paying double due to high shipping charges. I'm not sure if it's worth it. Perhaps later.
Disclaimer: I bought the product myself for my personal use and I am not affiliated with any company. I am not paid to do this review and everything I said here is my genuine opinion.

I learned some fascinating facts last weekend about the latest burgeoning industry of 3-D Printing while at my college class reunion in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Remember in the mid 1960's hovering over your four-year-old who had just popped a delicious chocolate cakette into the new Hasbro Easy Bake Oven? Well, hold onto your diapers, babies, because soon you'll be able to print your own oven on your Mattel/Thingmaker 3-D printer. Complex technology, sizzling plastic, and kids – what could possibly go wrong?
My tour group hiked from one end of the U of M campus to the other, all the while oohing and aahing over new buildings with even newer names. Walter Library, where I spent many study hours, is now called the Walter Digital Technical Center. And we were told the new Weisman Art Museum caused quite a stir amongst the Twin Cities community due to its total lack of Greek columns.
Most impressive was the Institute for Engineering in Medicine where they work at developing 3-D printing of "something that's alive." That's correct. They hope to produce "smart prosthetics" that will contain the patient's own cells planted on a flexible plastic scaffold which, after incubation at body temperature, will produce a new organ ready for transplant. Think external ears, new hip bones, epidermal cells to replace burnt skin cells, etc., etc. They have a long, very promising, list.
And on the Humane Society side of things is replacement parts for injured animals. I just watched a video produced by Feathered Angels Waterfowl Sanctuary featuring Buttercup the Duck who proudly struts about on his new 3-D engineered duck foot.
My research shows that these new printers are not just the "set it and forget it" variety. But I have faith in our young Generation Z'ers who have grown up on touchscreens and remotes and will soon realize the easiest way to get a new toy is to just push the "print" button. Toymakers beware!

On the discipline of freelance workers
Working on my own agenda is not new to me but that's something I have not been doing for the last 10 years at least. To much teamwork and daily meetings made my agenda full on a constant basis, quite easily.
So there is a certain bliss and challenge, to go back to freelance mode for a while.
How do you set-up goals, organize your agenda, get things done and avoid procrastination at all cost ? (Or is that really what this is all about, being able to procrastinate at will !!!)
Well, here are a few hacks I've been successfully testing lately:
Know yourself
What drives you ? When are you more active ? What motivates you ?
You have to hack yourself so that you will develop a morning routine if this is your thing.
Some people work better with lists of tasks, from one day to the next.
Other, with a more creative background, need time and space to get through the day and let the emotions and inspiration flow.
I usually start the day with a good healthy breakfast on our terrace (we're lucky enough to leave and Barcelona and can enjoy nice weather year-long). Then I shower and get dressed as if I'm going to work, and try to respect some coherent timings through the day. This helps, especially as my wife is also a freelancer and we share the flat all day long.
We have to avoid interruptions from each other as much as sync our breaks when we can.
see here for some inspiration
Work in Sprints
My proximity with Scrum Masters might be the culprit here. But splitting your projects into tasks and your time into sprints can be really useful on a daily basis.
First it makes things a lot more manageable. You have a list of tasks, and they are easier to handle. Sprints make projects lighter and achievements tangible. You'll celebrate your productive day instead of ranting about the time you've lost on Facebook.
Use a methodology
I'm using Pomodoro. It's well documented and flexible enough to tweak it your way.
Pomodoro splits time into chunk of 25 min (by default), with pauses of 3 min between each. Then you start again. When you reach 4 "chunks", you can take a longer pause, usually of 15 min.
Obviously you can configure these numbers as you prefer and depending on your project.
It has been of great help especially when I need to dive into lengthy code lessons, giving me rhythm in my day.
Put yourself at ease
Good Chair. Nice Desktop. Feel at home (yes you are).
I find that music can be annoying if I need to concentrate, but I need background noise to make my brain active.
I'm enjoy a tea usually more than coffee that stresses me out.
I've redesigned my desktop to have everything at reach, and change the perfume of the room.
I am also now using headphones when I need to focus, and try to disconnect the phone & notifications.
Apps are your friends
There are a tons online to help you out. Pomodoro with Alfred 2 allows me to manage my sprints easily.
Noizio and Vox provide me with White noise (fantastic discovery!) and music at will.
Focus disconnect automatically all temptations when needed. No more Facebook, Gmail and News sites to have an excuse to escape from work.
There are plenty of Pomodoro Apps for you to test, so check online to find yours.
Give some space to "the void"
There's no secret here. It the mood is not there, do not push it. You'll be productive later.
Here's what Monty Python's John Cleese has to say on that:

Our HIstory
In April of 2010, a group of local veterans, military history enthusiasts and hobbyists began holding informal, monthly meetings where they would swap stories and historical presentations related to military history. This informal series of meetings started out with crowds numbering 10–20. Over time, a few of the more dedicated individuals and attendees began to develop bulletins and newsletters outlining upcoming speakers and topics, covering the costs of printing and postage out of their own pockets. This additional effort to raise public awareness began to pay off as the number of individuals attending these events steadily grew each month.
By the spring of 2011, attendance of these so-called military history roundtable meetings was approaching 100 individuals each month. At this point a number of issues began to arise. The cost of postage and printing for newsletters was becoming too much to be covered by the individuals that had previously covered it. It also began to become very difficult to find facilities free of charge to hold the number of people attending. The largest issue being faced was that, due to a lack of leadership and oversight, there was no long-term vision or goal which often led to scuffles between attendees as to what the proceeding programs should be comprised of. These challenges continued off and on for the next 17 months.
In October of 2012, the future of these informational and educational meetings came to a crossroads. The facility that had been hosting the meetings for the previous 18 months had to make the tough decision to no longer host them due to rising electric rates. It was at this point that an organizational meeting was held and it was decided that the military history roundtable, as it had become known, would form a governing body and thus an organization to ensure the functions could continue. From this period until April of 2013, a series of discussions took place in regard to the best way to move forward. It was decided in April that the formation of a non-profit would be the best way to move forward. An effort was then made for the next month to locate and recruit individuals to serve on the initial Board of Directors.
The Eastern Kentucky Military Historical Society, Inc. was formally incorporated in the Commonwealth of Kentucky on May 8, 2013. The initial Board of Directors was and is made up of 12 individuals from the original military history roundtable group. During the months since, the board has worked diligently to research and proceed with the plan to form a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of military history and heritage. We have developed the following organizational documents:
· Articles of Incorporation
· Statement of Mission and Purpose
· Bylaws
· Conflict of Interest Policy and Potential Conflict Report
· Initial Financial Accounting System
· Amendment of Bylaws to adhere to 501(c)3 status
· Addition of appendix to Bylaws containing Society Policies and Procedures
Since the incorporation of the organization, we have undertaken a number of goals and initiatives. We have expanded upon our military history roundtable meetings, hosting speakers from as far as 150 miles away. We have also added a monthly coffee meeting to accommodate those individuals that are not able to get out after dark to take part in the military history roundtable. In addition to the formal meetings we host, we also hold a variety of "field trips" that have ranged from visiting local museums to taking part in a vintage weapons demonstration and even visiting a cannon foundry.
Two of the biggest and most successful initiatives that we have undertaken in the last six months would be the development and implementation of a Veterans Appreciation Weekend. The event, held November 1-2, 2013, welcomed more than 1,300 veterans, their families and children from across eastern Kentucky. Highlights of this event included a free dinner for veterans and their families, a series of nationally-renowned speakers and the Freedom Run 5K, a competitive run to raise awareness of disabled veterans.
The second activity that we are very proud of is a recent chartered bus trip to the National Museum of the US Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. The trip, which took place on September 13, had an attendance of 94 local veterans, historians and enthusiasts.
We have a number of organizational goals set for 2014 and beyond. Some of our current endeavors are to develop both a short and long-range business plan. Also in coming weeks we will be completing our first SWOT analysis. Following the development implementation of these plans, we will begin to develop a marketing and fundraising plan that will allow us to further our cause and mission. One of our current highest priorities is to update our financial accounting system to QuickBooks, which will allow us to generate professional reports with ease that will help us maximize our efforts and efficiency.
We plan to build upon the services we currently offer within the next twelve months. We are currently in the planning process to develop a Speakers Bureau. This program will allow us to offer presentations by veterans and historians to local schools to supplement the curriculum they currently receive. In an effort to encourage involvement for all, we are also working with a number of local women to develop a women's auxiliary group. This arm of the organization will focus primarily on military-related issues faced by women. The goal of this support group will be to provide a central venue for fellowship and network support for the women who have served, worked in the civilian service sector, or have a family member that has or is serving in the military.
In the area of historical exhibitions and displays, we have recently partnered with a local museum to develop an exhibit commemorating the 70th Anniversary of D-Day. As part of this celebration, we will once again hold the Veterans Appreciation Weekend described above, along with a number of special receptions, veteran speakers and school groups. We are also developing a special traveling exhibit that will go to local schools free of charge to provide them with a unique view of WWII.
In the long term it is our dream to one day build a Kentucky Military History Museum. We feel that it is our obligation to ensure that the history and heritage that has been shared with our organization over the previous years' not be lost. The facility would hold a number of historical exhibits. Additionally, we would provide a research library and an oral history repository, where interviews with veterans from all over Kentucky could be stored and accessed.
We hope that you will join our ranks and help us in our efforts to preserve Kentucky military history and heritage.

Two years into the market's recovery, investors remain worried that they will have to retire later than they'd planned, according to a new survey by SEI, in Oaks, Pa.
Eighty two percent of the 212 financial advisors polled by the SEI Advisor Network said their clients are "worried that they will outlive their savings," and nearly all of them said their clients have had to push back planned retirements for at least one year.
"Investor sentiment is that they're still very worried," says John Anderson, head of practice management solutions for the SEI Advisor Network, which conducted the poll.
Contributing to the problem is the fact that many investors remain jittery about making the investments that might help them regain lost ground, says Anderson.
Of the advisors who said their clients expect to delay retirement, 58% characterized that expected delay as being at least three years.
Meanwhile, many advisors now believe the right time to start giving retirement advice is when their clients are quite young: 37% told SEI they begin doing so in their clients' 20s. Thirty percent said they start discussing retirement plans when their clients are in their 30s, and 19% said they wait until their clients are 40 or older.
The poll was conducted as part of a recent SEI Advisor Network webinar entitled "Getting Real About Retirement." More than 700 people registered for the webinar, more than any other such event the firm has hosted over the past two years, says Anderson.
That indicates how concerned advisors are about helping their clients prepare for retirement in the wake of the recession and market meltdown, he says.
"Very few (advisors) focus on the retirement portion of their business," he says. "But they need to really wake up."
One issue that needs attention is persuading clients to get back into the market, says Anderson. To help clients "avoid behavioral mistakes" such as staying on the sidelines, advisors might recommend strategies that are more goals-based, he says.
For example, they can frame clients' investment goals in bucket -- short-term, middle-term and long-term allocations with corresponding exposure to risk.
"It helps the client understand, 'I'm going to live another 30 years; I can be with some volatility,'" says Anderson.
What's more, advisors need more than ever to set aside lofty talk about retirement dreams and focus on the practical necessity of cash flow, he adds.
"Unfortunately, I still see our industry do way too much talking about living the dream life," he says. "For the majority of Americans, it's got to be that serious discussion. Advisors can't be soft."
The SEI Advisor Network provides turnkey wealth management and other services to advisors.

Good story. Jesus I hope it's changing, but my kids have gone to school with kids (from Spanish speaking families) who barely speak Spanish.
Meanwhile, we've paid a small fortune to get our kids through foreign language immersion elementary school because we thought it important the know at least one other language.
I hope you still have an "Hispanic" accent. And I love platanos con crema.

Tear gas fired to disperse pro-Morsi demo in Egypt
Egyptian security forces on Monday fired tear gas to disperse students protesting in support of ousted Islamist president Mohamed Morsi, security officials said.
The protesters marched outside the campus of Al-Azhar University in Cairo and blocked a main road as they chanted against the military that overthrew Morsi in July amid massive protests against his rule.
There were no immediate reports of casualties, as police fired tear gas and birdshot to disperse the students.
By late afternoon soldiers had dispersed the protesters and reopened the road, littered with stones and tear gas canisters, an AFP correspondent said.
As police and Morsi opponents have violently broken up Islamist protests on the streets, supporters of the ousted president have sought to regroup on campuses to press their demand for his reinstatement.
Demonstrations took place last week at the universities of Al-Azhar and Cairo, where scuffles broke out between supporters and opponents of Morsi.
The military ousted Morsi on July 3 after millions took to the streets demanding his resignation one year after he became the country's first freely elected president.
More than 1,000 people, mostly Morsi's backers, were killed in clashes in an ensuing crackdown on the former president's Muslim Brotherhood movement.
Another 2,000 people, mostly Islamists, have been detained.
Morsi, held at an unknown location since his removal, is to stand trial next month over deadly clashes between his supporters and opponents outside the presidential palace in December 2012.
