Subscribe To Tom Clancy's HAWX DLC Coming This Week Updates
I've already subscribed
Jet combat game Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. will be getting first downloadable content later this week. Considering how little advance notice we were given of the DLC, which adds six new planes, it would've been appropriate for one of those planes to be a stealth bomber but alas.
The new content is dubbed the "European Assault Pack DLC" and adds stylish flying contraptions such as the FB-22 and Saab-37 Viggen. It will be made available for both the PS3 and Xbox 360 on Thursday, April 23rd for 400 Microsoft Points ($5). Joystiq says that Ubisoft sent out pictures entitled "American Eagles" and "Russian Falcons" along with the press release so expect more plans to be released in the future.
H.A.W.X. was released for the PS3 and Xbox 360 on March 6th so it's possible many of you already completed and shelved the game by now. However, like the hint website Ubisoft unveiled last week, it's a good treat for you Johnny-Come-Latelys.

I have a "rule" when it comes to picking a name for something – a domain name for a website, a product name, an email address, etc.
Never pick a name that you have to spell every time you speak it, and/or have to explain how to pronounce every time you write it.
I try to follow this for all of my blogs, web projects, etc. And I explain it to people when I'm helping them get started with a blog or a podcast or something. But it's amazing how often this rule gets violated in the world today.
A couple of examples:
I'd pick on Flickr here, but they've become so popular that I only have to explain the "no e" thing to non-geeks. But I will pick on Zooomr. Besides the vowel atrophy, how many people have gone to "zoomr.com" (only two o's, not three, but the natural way to try and spell it) by mistake? It's not the photo sharing site you were looking for. You learn after the first few times to type it correctly, but every time I tell someone about Zooomr, I end up saying "zee oh oh oh em arr dot com", or having to explain that there are three o's instead of two. Zooomr breaks the rule!
Another example (just to pick on my employer a little bit! ;-)) is Intel's "Viiv" technology. Almost invariably, when you see it written, it's immediately followed by the text ("sounds like five") or some other clue as to how to pronounce the word. And I often have to spell it out ("vee aye aye vee") when I'm talking to someone about it. Nevermind the fact that most people don't quite know what it means, anyway… Viiv breaks the rule, too.
If possible, you should avoid living on a street that you have to spell out, too, or you'll be saying "Brynn road that's bee arr why en en road…" every time you order pizza.
This should apply to naming your children, too, but far be it from me to try to tell people how they should or shouldn't name their kids. If they want to use a "unique" spelling or name, who am I to stop them? Keighleigh? Sihndee? Whatever you want. Can you tell that Rachel and I have been talking about names for our soon-to-be-born baby?
Follow this naming rule, and you'll save whole seconds every time you use the name, either written or spoken, by not having to spell it out. Over the course of your lifetime, this could add up to years that would have otherwise been wasted! Feel free to thank me any way you see fit – I take PayPal! 😉

TAUNTON — The Taunton Civic Chorus combines Broadway glamour with a little movie magic in their annual spring concert this Sunday at Pilgrim Congregational Church.
The Taunton Civic Chorus combines Broadway glamour with a little movie magic in their annual spring concert this Sunday at Pilgrim Congregational Church.
Following stories from the stage to the silver screen, this year's performance titled "Broadway Goes to the Movies" will feature music from musicals that were made into movies.
"They are pieces that people can recall in their heads, that will catch their attention, make them sing in their seats and feel like they are a part of what is happening on stage," said Director Marshall Connolly, Jr.
The chorus looks to broaden their audience with each new performance, so Connolly said playing classic pieces that people are familiar with and can relate to helps draw people in.
This year's 25-piece spring program, the longest program the group has ever performed, will include selections from well-known plays such as "Phantom of the Opera," "Sound of Music," "Annie Get your Gun," "Godspell," "Fiddler on the Roof," "Hair," "Cabaret," "Oklahoma," and "Chicago."
"This is music that resonates in people's minds, and has played a role in their lives at one time or another," said Beverly Stevens, president of the Taunton Civic Chorus.
Trying to focus on lighter material for the spring, Connolly racked his brain for this year's theme until he asked himself the question "What about the days when Sister Maria became Julie Andrews and America knew about it?"
In an attempt to top the record attendance at last year's spring concert, as well as bring in more fresh faces, Connolly settled on a Broadway theme which everyone could enjoy.
The chorus is stepping out of the box this time around, ditching formal wear for glitter hats and sparkly ties in an ode to the glitz and glamour of Broadway.
"What I am looking forward to the most is seeing audience's reactions," Connolly said.
As the concert approaches and excitement reaches an all-time high, a sense of family and community serves as the glue that holds this 30-member group together.
"These are people who love to sing and be part of a group where they are not singled out," Connolly said. "Plus, it is a social event for the older folks. They build bonds with other people in the chorus."
While Taunton Civic Chorus may still be small in numbers, their heart and passion for singing rivals some of the largest choral groups in the area.
"Out of all of the choruses that I have ever been in, this is the best blend because they enjoy being there and genuinely want to be there," Connolly said. "They are not only a part of the chorus, but the chorus is a part of them."
Aside from their dedication, Beverly Stevens, president of the Taunton Civic Chorus, said the group's biggest strength is their blend of voices.
"The thing I like the most is that we have more male voices than any other chorus," Stevens said. "It balances the women voices very well and is what has kept me here."
While the group's No. 1 mission with this spring concert is to entertain, their job is also to inspire and nurture a new generation of performers.
Joshua Martin, Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School senior and classical pianist, was this year's recipient of an annual scholarship from the Taunton Civic Chorus.
Each year they give away $750 to a high school student pursuing music in college, and Stevens said there was no doubt in her mind that they chose the right person.
"He is one of the most talented musicians I have ever had the honor of giving this award to," Stevens said. "He will definitely go far."
The scholarship fits in well with the long-standing philosophy of the Taunton Civic Chorus.
"The whole reason that we started this group was to promote music and bring it to the community," Stevens said. "So that people can see the value of music in their lives and support local talent."
The concert will take place at the Pilgrim Congregational Church, on Broadway in Taunton, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and all are welcome to attend.

The No 1. social media site that your potential employers are checking out before employing you is facebook. #2 is LinkedIn. Twitter - Not so much! They don't seem to bother with others that much.
Here's the slideshow that shows the survey done and highlights from the survey:
Bad Social Media Behavior Can Ruin Your Job Search.
This survey shows that about 40% of potential employers search your social media presence to see whether you present yourself in a professional way and see if you posted any pictures of yourself drunk or doing drugs.
Facebook seems to be the most popular one with LinkedIn being used to see if you are doing any Resume inflation!
They don't seem to bother with Twitter too much.
Next time you post anything to facebook, pictures, your opinion on something, your support to something, you may just need to remember that all of that may be used to judge whether you are suitable for a position or not!
Sometime ago I wrote about an employer who demanded an applicant's facebook password to look at the messages they sent others - So you want a job? Give us your facebook username and password!
Most people do not worry about their public profile or the stuff you dont realize any lay person can see without your permission. That is open to anyone wanting to checkout what you have been doing on these sites.
With facebook helpfully organizing everything in a timeline that you don't have any choice over , everything you did on facebook is helpfully organized chronologically for someone to get a sense of you over a period time, in addition!
This should give anyone great pause before posting anything on facebook. The most insidious thing you will have to watch out for, are all the apps that automatically post information about the article you read or the cause you supported!
Something to think about!

We leave you this week dear reader on this blackest of Fridays with a treat worth much more than that 63 inch TV you don't need, but you know – there's a Carry On joke in there somewhere. Will Oldham aka Bonnie 'Prince' Billy has a new album out and it's as sublime as everything his majesty touches – 'I Made a Place' is the first album of new material under his Bonnie "Prince" Billy moniker for Drag City since 2011. It's more, er, jaunty than you might expect from him too. Have a listen to the first track to be released from it below. Oh, and have a good one.
Tag: Bonnie 'Prince' Billy
Will Oldham publishes book of his lyrics
Pitchfork report today that our favourite royal americana star Will Oldam aka Bonnie "Prince" Billy will be publishing a book compiling his lyrics later this year. They report: "Songs of Love and Horror is out October 9 via W.W. Norton and Company. The collection will feature the lyrics to more than 200 songs spanning from the early 1980s to the present." Here's the cover of the book, along with the video for 'I See a Darkness' which if you've never seen it before will be the most entertaining 2 minutes and 41 seconds you spend doing something today. Continue reading "Will Oldham publishes book of his lyrics"
Bonnie 'Prince' Billy announces new album, new video – Watch
And it's as oddly esoteric as you might imagine from his highness, amazing cover too. "The Pitch" reports: "Bonnie "Prince" Billy, aka Will Oldham, has announced a new album that covers Susanna's 2007 LP Sonata Mix Dwarf Cosmos in its entirety. It's called Wolf of the Cosmos, and it's out November 17 via Drag City. He also shared a new music video for "People Living," featuring footage from the Charlottesville riot. Check out the full tracklist and cover art below. Continue reading "Bonnie 'Prince' Billy announces new album, new video – Watch"
Bonnie 'Prince' talks Merle Haggard
Let's face it, he's probably still not going to beat Mel B's version of "Word Up" in terms of classic covers but good on him for having a go. Rolling Stone reports: "Imagine arranging Merle Haggard's millions of fans in concentric circles. In the outermost ring, place the casual listeners, the ones familiar with "Mama Tried," some of the canonical 1960s material and maybe the hoopla around "Okie From Muskogee." A slightly smaller – if still spacious – circle encompasses those who stuck with Haggard as long as country radio did; he scored his last Number One airplay hit as a solo artist in 1987. Next you enter into a circle of dedicated enthusiasts, the active listeners who have continued to hunt down and pore over Haggard's LPs, and that's where you'll find Will Oldham, who records under the name Bonnie "Prince" Billy. Continue reading "Bonnie 'Prince' talks Merle Haggard"
Bonnie "Prince" Billy covers Merle Haggard with his dogs – Watch
This is pretty amazing from Pitchfork over the weekend. It beats Marc Métral and his talking dog Wendy. They report: "Bonnie "Prince" Billy, aka Will Oldham, gave morning television viewers in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky a taste of his forthcoming Merle Haggard tribute album, Best Troudabor. He appeared on local morning show "Great Day Live!" earlier this year to perform a cut that didn't make the project's final tracklist. And he wasn't alone. Oldham brought along two dogs (Silver and Gold), who gamely sat beside him while he and his wife Elsa performed "Bad Actor." That track appears on Haggard's 2010 album, I Am What I Am. Best Troubador arrives May 5 via Drag City. In March, Oldham released a 360-degree VR video for the track, "Mama Tried." Continue reading "Bonnie "Prince" Billy covers Merle Haggard with his dogs – Watch"
Will Oldham covers Merle Haggard in a bath – Watch
OK it's not quite a bath, but it would have been an even better story if it was. Stereogum report: "Next month, Will Oldham will release Best Troubador, a Bonnie 'Prince' Billy album made up of Merle Haggard covers. We heard his take on "Mama Tried" last month, and today he's shared a video of him performing the late-period Haggard track "Bad Actor" in a steamroom. It's not as steamy as you'd might expect given the locale, but Oldham is accompanied by his wife Elsa for the performance. Watch below." Continue reading "Will Oldham covers Merle Haggard in a bath – Watch"
Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and Courtney Marie Andrews cover Nina Simone – Listen
This is lovely if you have four minutes to spare. Consequence of Sound report: "After political happenings Friday handed 45 the second major loss of his two-month-old presidency, it feels like a good time to be part of the #Resistance. Now is not the time to rest, however, as there will be plenty of chances to press the advantage in the near future. That's why the Our First 100 Days series is continuing on today with a reminder that true freedom must be fought for constantly. Continue reading "Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and Courtney Marie Andrews cover Nina Simone – Listen"
Bonnie 'Prince' Billy to release Merle Haggard covers album – Listen
You did read that headline correctly. Rolling Stone reports: "Merle Haggard's influence knew no bounds, attracting fans from all genres of music. That powerful pull has inspired a new album from indie folk-rock artist Bonnie "Prince" Billy, a forthcoming collection of Haggard covers called Best Troubadour. Bonnie "Prince" Billy, also known as Will Oldham, is a longtime fan of the "Okie From Muskogee" Hall of Famer, having covered a Haggard song at his first public performance 25 years ago. He also interviewed the legendary songwriter for a magazine feature in 2009 and included a cover of "Because of Your Eyes" on a 7″ vinyl release in 2011.

Mona PavilionsResidential
This exhilarating project was a collaboration between David Walsh, owner of MONA (Museum of Old and New Art), and architect Nonda Katsalidis.
The brief: boutique accommodation on the Derwent River, adjacent to MONA, to meet the expectations of high-end travellers.
Finding design inspiration for a project where there were few boundaries was both exciting and challenging. Result: four stand-alone pavilions and an indoor lap pool on 3.5 hectares of private peninsula. Each pavilion is built for indulgence, seclusion and escape. Each features kitchen, one or two bedrooms, spa and cellar.

Hundreds of Germans paid their last respects to a young student who became a national heroine after she was fatally attacked by a thug for standing up for two underage girls during a fight.
Tugce Albayrak, 23, died on her birthday last week after almost two weeks in a coma. She was beaten up outside a McDonald's restaurant in Offenbach, near Frankfurt.
Funerals for the woman of Turkish origins were held outside a mosque in Waechtersbach, central Germany, on 3 December.
Turkey's ambassador to Germany and the Hesse state governor were among the mourners who watched Albayrak's coffin being laid on a stone table flanked by German and Turkish flags during the ceremony.
The aspiring teacher was then buried in her hometown cemetery, in Bad Soden-Salmunster, 8km from Waechtersbach.
"She was a strong-minded girl. I believe she would have been a perfect teacher," her aunt Reyhan Kes said.
The circumstances that led to her demise have shocked Germany, leading more than 160,000 people to sign an online petition for her to posthumously receive the Bundesverdienstkreuz (Federal Cross of Merit).
Albayrak was dining at McDonald's on a Saturday night, when a violent quarrel, involving three young boys and two girls reportedly aged between 13 and 16, broke out in the restaurant's toilet area.
Friends said she left her table and stepped into the argument to quell it upon hearing the girls screaming for help.
The boys subsequently left the premises but when Albayrak came out an hour later, they were waiting for her in a parking lot.
An 18 year old identified only as Sanel M, according to German privacy laws, reportedly punched her on the side of the head. The student fell, hitting her head on the floor, and entered into a coma.
Security camera footage of the incident was published earlier this week.
Albayrak's parents gave doctors permission to turn her off life support last week after she was pronounced brain dead.
Sanel M has been arrested by police and remains in custody.

text: What is it about that 50% off Michaels coupon that just screams "buy something". So I was moseying around the store coupon in hand thinking this would be a good time to stock up on some cutting blades. BORING! when I happened upon these dies. I had my eye on a different set a couple weeks ago but this little beauty seemed too good to pass up. It was so fun and easy, I immediately whipped up a card when I got home that evening and THAT doesn't happen very often. What do you think? Cute, eh?

A pregnant mother was told to prove she was with child by a man on a London Tube.
Raayan Zafar was wearing a 'baby on board' badge when she asked a fellow passenger if she could have their seat, the Evening Standard reported.
The 32-year-old parent of one was just about to take the seat when another women moved to take it. When she informed the other woman she was just about to sit the man in the seat next to her became confrontational, asking her where the baby was.
According to The Independent Ms Zafar, whose bump is not visibly large yet but suffers bad morning sickness, was shocked, saying:
The lady realised I was going for the seat, but the person sitting beside it started arguing with me, saying the lady wanted to sit there and asking 'Why are you taking the seat?'
I showed him my baby on board badge and he then rudely asked me: 'Where is the baby?'
I was shocked – is that the way to speak to a pregnant lady? Do I have to carry my maternity notes with me all the time?
She added:
It's early days so that's why I don't show, but that doesn't mean I'm not pregnant or tired or sick all the time.
It was a long commute and I suffer from severe morning sickness – I'm on medication already.
I feel dizzy and out of energy, which makes standing in the Tube quite difficult when there is not enough ventilation.
The 'baby on board' badge was launched back in 2005, as a way for passengers to know a women is pregnant and eligible for priority seating on busy commutes without an awkward conversation.
Unfortunately it wasn't enough for this guy, though, and Ms Zafar was left feeling "really, really embarrassed" after the incident on the Victoria line Tube in Stockwell.
She also said she doesn't think people take any notice of the badges:
People know about disabled people and they are more considerate because they can see it, whereas with a pregnancy they can't see it at a certain time so they think everything is fine.
As a nation we are losing our etiquette.
Why did he even need to get involved? What an unnecessarily rude bastard.

*Replaced by NEW EDITION (see ALTERNATIVES below).
The Test of Semantic Skills– Intermediate (TOSS-I) assesses key, age-progresssive semantic skills in upper elementary and junior high students. Test results help you understand why your student is struggling academically.
Use the TOSS-I to diagnose deficits in receptive and expressive semantic skills in students after third grade. Students who struggle to understand classroom directions and lessons and to work independently may have a disorder in semantic skills. The TOSS-I uses curriculum vocabulary and curricular themes that appeal to nine- to thirteen-year-olds.
The TOSS-I surveys ten semantic and vocabulary tasks through five receptive subtests and five expressive subtests in the skill areas of labels, categories, attributes, functions, and definitions. Nineteen realistic illustrations and test questions represent themes common to everyday life. Test items emphasize vocabulary that is meaningful to the experiences of late elementary and middle school students.
- Subtest A: Identifying Labels—point to an item named
- Subtest B: Identifying Categories—point to a member of a category that is named

by Dr. Glenn Sauer, Donald J. Ross, Sr. Chair of Biology
How did life begin? What does it mean to be alive? When does life start and what happens when it ends? These are biological questions, but they also raise questions about the meaning of life and its origins that lie outside of science and are for many people a matter of faith.
Today, these sensitivities are heightened not by physics or astronomy but the science of biology. To many people, there seems to be a tension, if not an outright antagonism, between the pursuit of science and the cosmological understanding of creation that is integral to a Christian perspective on life. The popular media often points to Galileo's (1564-1642) famous troubles with Church authorities over the issue of a sun-centered solar system as evidence of a long-standing historical conflict between science and the Catholic Church.
The teaching of biology in most academic settings does not typically include broader discussions on life's meaning or purpose. These questions are usually left to classes in philosophy or religion. Teachers of biology may find themselves unsure or reluctant to delve into certain questions in the classroom because of an uncertainty about their students' religious positions and sensitivities, as well as a lack of clarity about the official position of the Catholic Church on particular issues.
As a professor of biology at Fairfield, these are matters of particular interest to me. This year, thanks to a grant from the Templeton Foundation, I will be meeting with teachers and leaders in the Diocese of Bridgeport to talk together about how the teachings of the Church and the discoveries of contemporary biology can be reconciled. The long-range goal of the project is to develop a more scientifically literate and theologically articulate Catholic citizenry that is able to engage thoughtfully and productively with public policy issues relating to scientific progress and religious faith. The program will focus specifically on some of the common misconceptions held by Catholics and other religious groups regarding modern biological science.
Evolution and The Church
For example, Darwinian evolution, widely accepted by the vast majority of scientists today, has been attacked persistently by fundamentalist Christian groups since Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection was first published in 1859. In the United States, religiously-based rejection of evolution has resulted in popular media spectacles, such as the famous Scopes trial in 1925, sometimes called the "Monkey Trial," in which the State of Tennessee sued teacher John Scopes for defying a state law that prohibited the teaching of evolution. (Scopes, incidentally, was found guilty, but the verdict was overturned on a technicality.)
More recent manifestations include the "Intelligent Design" trial in Dover, Penn., in 2005, where a school district tried to change its biology curriculum to include a book that argued against Darwinian evolution and instead presented a form of creationism as an alternative. The school district was found to be in violation of the laws mandating the separation of church and state, and the judge found the school district's actions to be unconstitutional. Interestingly, the two principal scientific witnesses in this case for both the plaintiffs (a concerned parents group) and the defendants (the school board) were practicing Roman Catholics.
So it might come as a surprise to some that the Catholic Church is not opposed to the scientific study of evolution. Even as early as the times of the Scopes trial, the writings of the Jesuit priest and paleontologist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955) began to lay the groundwork for the Church's eventual acceptance of Darwinian evolution as the best explanation for development of life and the eventual appearance of humans on Earth.
According to Teilhard, the universe (and mankind) is evolving towards what he called an "Omega Point" of maximum complexity and consciousness at which it would essentially become One with God. While most present-day biologists would argue against any particular directionality in evolutionary processes, Teilhard did recognize natural selection as the driving force of evolutionary change, as does the Church today.
Over the years, in fact, the Vatican has hosted conferences on biological evolution and what its impact might be on the theological understanding of life's meaning and purpose. Today, some Catholic theologians, such as John Haught of Georgetown University, describe a scenario in which God lets the universe become itself, and suffers with it in the evolutionary process (struggle, death, extinction) as exemplified in Christ's passion.
The Promise, and Problem with Stem Cells
Another common misconception is that the Catholic Church is opposed to stem cell research. Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that are able to transform into other cell types with specific functions. Stem cells have the potential of providing a way to replace cells that are lost due to injury, degenerative disease, or the natural aging process. These cells are present during all human developmental stages, but they are most potent, and easiest to obtain, if they are harvested from very early (one week old) embryos. This causes the destruction of the embryo and it is this procedure which the Church strongly opposes.
The Church has never objected to the use of stem cells derived from other sources, such as umbilical cords or adult tissues. The Church's objection to embryonic stem cell research is not based upon a fear of scientific progress, but on natural law theology which views an embryo as a human life and consequently needs to be afforded the same level of human dignity as anyone else.
Those who disagree with this position argue, correctly, that stem cells derived from other sources are much less potent in their ability to be transformed into other cell types. So, while most scientists reacted negatively to a recent presidential ban on such research in the U.S., it caused some to explore alternate ways for obtaining more potent stem cells.
Very recent progress in a technique called "nuclear reprogramming" indicates that it may be possible to derive pluripotent stem cells from differentiated adult cells such as skin cells and liver cells. Whether or not reprogrammed cells are as effective as embryonic stem cells in producing other cell types remains to be seen. It will also be interesting to see the Church's position on research in this emerging area. While Church opposition to the use of embryonic stem cells remains controversial, in my view it has led to the opening of new research directions which may ultimately prove just as promising from scientific and medical standpoints.
Fundamentalisms in Science
Many scientists see developments such as the Intelligent Design movement or the stem cell controversy as an indication that religious people or religion itself is antagonistic to science. As a result, some scientists have felt the need to "fight back" with scientifically based critiques of religion that are the central themes of many of the so-called "new atheist" writers.
These authors use their positions as scientists to denigrate or explain away religious belief and the existence of God as an artifact of human social evolution. In my view, such writers are just as misguided and counterproductive as the fundamentalist Christians they seek to oppose. Science is empirically based: its powerful investigative insights are restricted to what can be physically measured and verified. Religion calls upon insights and knowledge that extend beyond the material reality accessible to science. So, just as the Bible should not be used as scientific textbook, scientific facts should not be used in any attempt to undermine or invalidate religion.
In my opinion, the real effect of the offerings from the new atheist writers is only to stifle constructive dialogue, interfering with our ability to address important political issues such as education, climate change, and human healthcare. Both religion and science can offer solutions to these important problems that can and should be mutually supportive. For example, why can't scientific evidence for global warming be joined with religious concepts of stewardship for the earth and each other that then compels us to take meaningful action?
In my work, I seek to find areas of consonance between science and religion rather than dissonance — areas where meaningful conversation rather than self-serving diatribes can flourish. That is why I think this work is important and I am excited about this new project.
Dr. Glenn Sauer of Fairfield's Biology Department recently received a $117,000 grant from the John Templeton Foundation. The purpose of the grant is to help Catholic schools and parishes of the Diocese of Bridgeport begin developing programs that directly address religious issues that are impacted by modern advances in the biological sciences. The program will be based in Fairfield's Center for Faith and Public Life. Dr. Sauer will be assisted by the Center for Academic Excellence and faculty from the College of Arts and Sciences.
Beginning in June 2012, diocesan teachers and religious leaders will meet with Dr. Sauer and other Fairfield faculty for a series of day-long workshops designed to scientifically educate participants and illuminate points of contact between science and Catholic religious perspectives.
Following the five day summer workshop, diocesan participants will meet monthly throughout the 2012- 2013 academic year to develop programs in science and religion to take back to their parishes and schools.

How to Report a Game Bug!
When you dash towards Tristana and she blasts you literally across the map with her Buster Shot, this is the place to report it! When there is a problem that occurs within the Client, a patching related issue, or anything that involves gameplay (stuns not working, unintended interactions between abilities, vision issues, etc.) post it here following these guidelines. **How to Submit a Bug** 1. In the title, briefly describe the bug and tag it as [GAMEPLAY], [CLIENT], [CRASH], etc. 2. In the body of the post, include a more in-depth description of the bug you are encountering. 3. Follow up the description of the bug with numbered step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce the issue. 4. Include how frequently you can get the issue to occur and any video or screenshots of the bug that might help clarify it. You can find a good example of a bug submission [here](http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/bug-report/21gfV9sM-example-of-a-good-bug-submission). **Why is this helpful to us and good for you?** As a player, I get just as frustrated as anyone else when a bug causes me to lose a teamfight, or even miss a minion kill. Getting this information allows us to more quickly identify why things are broken and will expedite the process so it doesn't happen anymore. The most useful information you can provide is how you got the bug to happen, and how frequently you can reproduce the issue (or how often it uncontrollably happens to you). Myself and other Rioters will be constantly looking at these boards, communicating about issues you see, and most importantly taking these problems to the correct people so that they can get fixed! **To report an issue please create a new discussion in the Report a Bug boards.**

The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section lists all the questions we are most often asked about building a Europa.
If you can't find what you are looking for, please do not hesitate to contact us.
How long will my Europa XS take to Build?
The Europa XS will take around 800 man hours. This time can be reduced significantly by using the quick build options and NG control surfaces.
Time taken is dependent upon the skill and speed of the builder, the level of avionics and instrumentation, the paint and interior finish.
How much space do I need to build my Europa XS?
You can never have too much space to build!
A double garage is ideal, but components of the kit can be built in a single garage of 18' by 8'. Once you need to attach the wings, you'll need at least 30ft across the diagonal for short periods, but many of our builders do this outdoors as at this stage it's nearing the finishing touches.
Rumour has it, a Europa XS is currently being constructed in a flat and will be finalised outside in good weather.
Do I need any special skills to build the Europa?
No, the plans and kits are designed for a first time builder, with no experience in building aircrafts or composites. The plans provide the builder with step by step instructions of what to do, how to do it and when to do it.
Can I buy a ready-built Europa?
No, the Europa can only be purchase from the Europa Aircraft factory as a kit, however builders support and assistance is always available.
Will I fit into the Europa XS cockpit?
Pilots as tall as 6'6" have said they fit into the Europa XS comfortably. For the taller pilot we have designed a Hi-top fuselage providing an additional 2inch of head room.
The fuselage cockpit is 44inches wide.
What engines can I fit into the Europa XS?
The recommended engines are the Rotax ULS (100hp) and the Rotax 914 UL Turbo (115hp). These engines are supported by the company with a complete and very comprehensive installation package. In our experience, these have proven to be the most reliable.
What Propellers can I use on the Europa XS?
The standard fixed-pitch propeller for the Rotax engine is the American Warp-Drive 3-blade 62" diameter Ground Ajustable. The propeller is manufactured from carbon fibre and has an in-laid nickel leading edge to protect against erosion.

Tips to Choose Travel Destinations
A holiday refreshes your mind and also loads you with memories that would help you to carry on with your job. The resultant effect of holiday on your mind, is in direct proportion to the pleasant experiences you undergo during your holiday.
The happiness of a person depends on what his heart feels rather than what his eye sees, while selecting a travel destination, give a thought to what you like to do and how perfectly the destination matches your requirements. There are places which are frequented by people for their inherent or exhibited natural or cultural value, spiritual sanctity, historical significance, natural and built beauty and those offering leisure, adventure and amusement.
Once you shortlist your destinations,you need to decide when you are going on a holiday and check out for the availability of tickets and the early bird offers available. If the destination of your choice is International you need to find the formalities regarding the visa for the destination. Some countries provide visa at the point of entry while others require applications for visas prior to the date of travel and there is also a time frame for its validity.
From the places you have shortlisted and obtained information regarding tickets and visas, group the ones that is within your budget,that is little more than you expect to spend,but could be managed and those way beyond your budget. Categorising the destinations as must see and like to see, will give you an idea.
Check, if the destination you have chosen, the climate or season prevailing at the time of your visit and the activities you will be doing there are in line with your health condition. An asthma patient cannot dream of an early morning walk in a hillstation. It would be wise to check with the centre for disease website CDC to see, if there is any epidemic in the destination you wish to go and take necessary vaccines, which may be a single dose or 2-3 doses spread over a few months.
The destination tends to vary depending on the length of stay. An ideal holiday would be one with moderate level of travelling and activity and enough time to rest. If you pack in too much of activity and places to visit in a short holiday, it creates stress.
If you plan to travel with your family, ensure that there are places of interest for your children in the chosen destination.
Choosing an ideal tourist destination and proper planning helps to avoid stress and gives you an idea of what you can expect at the chosen destination. Conversely, you might also enjoy a fabulous holiday without such meticulous planning. Either way, if the place of your choice helps you to tide over the stress you have undergone and unwind,that is bliss!
Travel Destination Tips
Destination tips serve as a guide for a luxury vacation. Always remember the reason as to why you want to travel. Remember that travelling is always a good idea. It helps you see the world in a new and different perspective. You get a glimpse of their must try and to die for cuisines and the different tourist destinations.
Remember these travel destination tips when planning a trip.
Be open-minded. Try to learn about the place that you want to go to. With Internet access, it is very possible to get a grasp of what to expect from that place.
Be creative and consider underdogs: Try to pick locations that aren't very familiar with tourists and be a little creative when visiting their tourist spots.
Be decisive: Don't let peer pressure get to you. If your friends tell you that they're going to visit the Eiffel tower and you've plan to visit the Maldives go for your first choice. Never regret so you don't miss out on what you could experience in a certain place.
Ask yourself why: Remember to ask yourself the reason why you want to go there. Is it because you want to do some soul searching? Are you trying to reconnect with an old flame? Whatever maybe your purpose you always have to be definite because this will help you choose the perfect places to travel to.
Remember to remember: When travelling to a different place don't forget to research about their culture and traditions. Furthermore, keep your valuables handy. Don't let them out of your sight when travelling so better make sure that all of your must haves are in your travel pack.
Safe choices aren't bad choices: If you want to travel but are having second thoughts about your safety and the location of your chosen place. Don't worry and stop bugging yourself. If you feel like going to a different location is a perfect fit for you then try to choose the location where your heart is set in.
Go solo: You may wish to travel in groups but sometimes you must not be afraid to go alone. Going alone doesn't mean you're desperate or lonely. It will help you discover your abilities to be independent. You get to explore more places on your own without the hassle of worrying about your companions.
Don't miss out on the backyard: Different places have different must try locations. They might offer pretty souvenirs or trinkets, their delicacies, and everything else in between. These little backyards will help you learn more about the place you are in.
Budget options: It doesn't necessarily mean that when budget is tight you would not be able to enjoy different places and attractions. Try to choose the places where you spend less but enjoy a lot more. There are a lot of destinations right now that are not too expensive but have a wide array of travel and tour packages.
Choosing the Best Travel Destinations
If you have the travel bug, you will want to visit a thousand places all around the world. Using the tips in this travel guide will help you narrow down your choices for a perfect destination for your trip.
Step 1:
Think about the restrictions of your travellers. When you go somewhere you should make sure that you make a list of the things that you need to bring with you for each member of your family or friends that are going with you – especially if you have young children with you. They will need the most stuff. This way you will make sure not to forget anything and have to make purchases that you didn't plan for. Young kids will not enjoy travel destinations that require a lot of physical effort such as rock climbing in Costa Rica. Don't forget that if you have an older relative that requires handicapped access and a climate-controlled room, ensure that you have chosen a destination that will satisfy these requirements. The best vacations will keep everyone's interests in mind so everybody will enjoy the time spent.
Step 2:
Pick destinations with a variety of things to do. Prior to booking your next trip, see what attractions and sights are there. Is there going to be something to interest everybody? Does the destination in question have a lot of activities for everyone to enjoy throughout the time you are there? If thinking of a resort, does it offer a kids club or babysitting services so that you can enjoy some adult time? To keep all involved busy and happy, pick a place with something for everyone.
Step 3:
Think about the weather! It is important to remember that different times of the year make certain places better or worse visit. If you want to leave the country, do some research on what kind of weather will be expected. Drier months tend to bring larger crowds and higher prices. It is cheaper to travel during wet seasons but may not be very enjoyable. When choosing a destination for your trip, think about a place with nice weather so that your plans won't be hampered by rain.
Step 4:
Think about the type of travel you're interested in. All vacation trips are not the same. Each trip destination provides unique experiences for travellers, so it is important to decide. Are you looking for adventure with friends, a romantic time for you and your partner, or an easygoing trip where your whole family can just relax on the beach? Do you want an educational experience for your kids? The kind of trip you want will affect where you want to go.

Chances of December VR election receeding?
But the parliament failed to introduce changes to the budget and provide 400 million hryven for elections even though NUNS deputies, voting with PoR to support the motion, used the voting cards of absent colleagues. The voting result indicated 170 out of 172 PoR deputies supported the motion, but only 35 Nasha Ukraina deputies voted with them. The NUNS bloc won 72 seats in last year's VR elections. [So 'heap big' problems in the presidential camp - opinion poll ratings show most if not all of the NUNS deputies would lose their seats in any early election - turkeys voting for Christmas??]
Yushchenko admitted that elections cannot take place without funds being first approved by parliament.
Tymoshenko now claims the Orange coalition can be brought back to life again.
Is this part of [alleged] pre-arranged set-up for a possible deferred parliamentary election in the Spring?
p.s. The general director of the huge Ilich Mariupol MetKombinat, Volodymyr Boyko, declared his plant is in severe economic trouble and that he would agree to its nationalisation. Boyko said that the situation is bad in all of Ukraine's metallurgical plants, and gloomily predicted "Hundreds of thousands of workers could find themselves on the street in the near future."
Update: Even PoR big-wheel Andriy Kluyev considers elections could well take place February next year.
2 comments:
There is a way out of this mess.
1. Yushchenko resigns. knowing full well that he does not have the support of the Ukrainian People and that it will be impossible for him to win a second term
2. Yatseniuk, Speaker of Te Parliament becomes Ukraine's new head of state and he immediately seeks to restore the "Democratic Coalition
Yulia has stated previously that she would be prepared to support a single candidate from the "Democratic Forces" but she steered clear from nominating Yushchenko. It may be that if Yatseniuk can prove himself he might get the nod, although I think Yatseniuk is still too green to take on the role of President.
A better alternative for president would be Hryhoriy Nemyria. Yulia can then remain leader of the Parliamentary Party
With Yushchenko out of the way Ukraine can begin to heal the division created during Yushchenko's failed term of office.
The Parliament would be able to openly debate and adopt a new Constitution based on a European Parliamentary System of Governance and true democratic values. Removing the power from the head of state and in the process put an end to the divisive power struggle between Parliament and the President.
On completion of Constitutional Reform both Parliament and the President can face elections together under the terms of Ukraine's new democratic constitution.
The key being the resignation or ousting of Yushchenko.
- UkrToday said...
There was an interesting news report on the voting of finances for the election
It appears that whilst there is not a majority of members of Parliament prepared or able to support the formation of a parliamentary majority government, a majority are not prepared to support the holding of fresh elections at this present time.
The President's faction OU-PSD are not united in supporting Yushchenko's destabalization plan.
There is nothing new about minority governments. As long as Julia has the support and vote of confidence of a majority of the Parliament Yushchenko is caught between two different points of reality.
The Constitutional "Imperative Mandate" and the will of individual members of parliament
in 2007 we saw Yushchenko unconstitutionally dismiss the parliament because individuals were being lobbied to support the government's proposed constitutional reform which would have seen Ukraine adopt a democratic Parliamentary system of governance.
This year Yushchenko is has tried a different tact. Face against with the possibility of Constitutional reform to his liking Yushchenko has had a majority of his faction agree to withdraw from the Coalition forcing a minority grouping to also abandon the faction.
But when you add the numbers of the disenfranchised and other minor parties such as the Lytvyn bloc and the Communists, there is a majority of members of parliament that disapprove of the president calling of a snap poll.
Unless the president can obtain the support of a majority members of parliament "Catch 22" no money no election
Last year the US stepped in and offered to find the election. Will they do the same this year? Unlikely as Yushchenko's gamble is certain to back fire on him.
The main party to benefit from fresh elections is Party of Regions because they will secure control over Government. No one else wants to spend their money and limited resources.
Unless the President is hoping to form an alliance with Party of Regions what is his game plan other then to desttableize Ukraine and it's economy?
Somehow, judjing by the lack of activity on the streets, I think Yushchenko has called an election that no one really wants except him and oath of Regions. It does not look like it will happen this year that's for sure.
We can expect a spring election with the President also facing the people of Ukraine. This was the same deal sought back in 2007. Maybe in 2009 Yushchenko will have no other alternative but to except the compromise on offer as Ukraine's economy begins to buckle under the strain, pressure will be brought to bear ion Yushchenko to accept a compromise and early presidential elections my be the deal maker. Either Way Yushchenko is the real loser in this round if not the match.

Exploring teacher leadership and the challenges faced by post level one teachers as they operate as leaders : a case study of two primary schools.
Gumede, Knightingale Siphelele.
MetadataShow full item record
Post 1994, the vision of the South African education policy terrain is to transform schools into more effective places of teaching and learning. To achieve this vision, policy suggests a shift in management practices from traditional autocratic headship to more participatory leadership practices, including the leadership of teachers. Theorizing from a distributed leadership perspective, the aim of this study was to explore the concept of teacher leadership and the challenges that are faced by post level one teachers as they operate as leaders in their schools in the South African context. The study sought to investigate how the concept of teacher leadership was understood, how post level one teachers lead in their schools and what challenges to teacher leadership are in schools. The study was conducted in one rural and one semi-urban primary school and it was qualitative in nature. A case study methodology was suitable for this study since it was aimed at gaining teachers understanding and perceptions of teacher leadership. Different methods of collecting data were used and these included interviews, questionnaires, and document analysis. Data were analyzed thematically using Grant's (2008) model of teacher leadership. The findings indicated that teacher leadership as a concept was still new to certain teachers, even though research on the topic in the South African context is increasing. Some teachers did not think of the roles they played in a school as teacher leadership. The findings further indicated that teacher leadership was experienced differently across the two schools with teacher leadership in the rural school being more restricted than the teacher leadership in the semi-urban school, where it was more emergent. In the rural school, leadership could, at best, be described as authorized distributed leadership while in the semi-urban school, leadership could be described as dispersed distributed leadership. In addition, the findings showed that the major barrier to teacher leadership in the rural school was resistance from the School Management Team while in the semi-urban school the major barrier to teacher leadership was a lack of time. A further barrier to teacher leadership in both schools was teachers themselves who were lazy and did not want to take on additional leadership tasks. The study also found that the major enhancing factor to teacher leadership, particularly in the semi-urban school, was a collaborative school culture where teachers trusted each other and worked together in professional learning communities.

In case you haven't heard, disc golf is kind of a big deal around here. If you've never tried it, give it a shot – it's harder than it looks and you get a good walk out of it! Plus, most courses are either free or have small park entrance fees. SNAC in Arnold and Murphys are your source for golf discs.Disc Golf is also well represented throughout the county, with courses at Lake Hogan (near Valley Springs), Plug Ugly Disc Golf Course (in San Andreas) and Feeney Park (in Murphys), we have more than a few disc golf courses to choose from.

5. January Move More Tip: Bike
The lower elevation Calaveras lake trails mentioned above are a great spot to sample local mountain biking. While the Arnold Rim Trail tends to be covered in snow this time of year, watch the weather. It can be in excellent shape with a spell of dry weather. The mild daytime temps in the foothills can make for a great day of road cycling as well. Calaveras even has many popular cycling events throughout the year, here are some of our favorites:
- Mr. Frog's Wild Ride (April)
- Ebbetts Pass Century Ride (August)
- Murphys Winery Bike Tour (Anytime)

Children of older years, I would say 14, or 15 or above up to 18, their wishes are going to have greater impact on a judge's decision. However, the paramount criterion is what is in the best interest of the child with regard to where they should live.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Dr Oz' tag.
Dr. Oz, MD has been on Oprah recently discussing the health benefits of the mangosteen fruit. Below is a short summary about the mangosteen which may be helpful to you when explaining its merits to others.
All the best in health,
Jamee, Boston Healing Tao Instructor
Dr. Oz mentioned a fruit called the mangosteen in the same segment as the purslane and his green drink, as well as the goji, etc. Mangosteen is a fruit most people in the US are unfamiliar with. This post is intended to provide information about the fruit and to enure that those who are interested in the mangosteen do not fall into any of the marketing traps and hype that are out there. So, here's the heads up…
1) What can be factually said about the mangosteen from scientific research is this: it appears the phytonutrients in the fruit help maintain intestinal health, neutralize existing free radicals (anti-oxidant), maintain a healthy immune system, support cartilage and joint function, maintain a healthy seasonal respiratory system and relieve minor muscle pain after exercise. In addition, a recent double blind human study shows mangosteen used as a mouthwash is effective in treating halitosis (bad breath), plaque and gingivitis (gum disease).
2) Mangosteen has been used medicinally in traditional healing for over a thousand years. There are 138 documented medicinal uses for the mangosteen in Eastern Medicine. The most common uses have been as an anti-inflammatory, an anti-microbial, an analgesic, an anti-diarrheal, a gastrointestinal aid, a treatment for skin ailments and, as Dr. Oz mentioned, a sexual aid.
3) The principal biologically active phytonutrients in mangosteen are catechins, polysaccarides, proanthocyanadins, anti-oxidants, sterols and a class of compounds known as "Xanthones" which account for most of the medicinal properties of the fruit. There are 200+ known Xanthones that occur in nature, typically in lichens, mosses and tree bark — not things you probably want to eat. The family of plants related to St. John's Wart, of which mangosteen is a member, also contain Xanthones. Of the 200 or so known Xanthones, mangosteen contains over 40.
4) If you are scientifically minded, go to PubMed (you con find that in Google since I can't link it here) and look up the keyword "mangosteen" — you'll get a long list of scientific studies that have been done on the fruit. You can do a general internet search for "mangosteen" though you're going to get a plethora of listings that are only selling juice and may or may not have useful and accurate information. To be sure, all of the leading brands of mangosteen juice are sold by direct distributors and they can make some pretty outrageous and misleading claims in their enthusiasm to make a sale.
5) You cannot buy fresh mangosteen fruit in the US and most of Europe because it doesn't keep well. Mangosteen is called "The Queen of Fruits" because Queen Elizabeth offered knighthood to anyone who could bring her the fresh fruit… no one ever did. Even if you did buy the whole fruit, the health benefits of the fruit are in the rind, not the fruit, and the rind tastes horrid. So you wouldn't eat that and thus would miss out on the benefits of the fruit.
6) Not all mangosteen juices are created equal. As I just pointed out, the benefits of the fruit are in its rind, not the pulp, so unless the juice is a whole fruit puree you won't get the full benefit. Just squeezing the fruit and throwing the juice in bottle will let you market it as a mangosteen juice, but that does not mean that it offers any of the benefits Dr Oz referred to or that have been the subject of the mangosteen's uses in traditional medicine he indicated.
7) Also beware of juices that use extracts and concentrates — as already mentioned, there are over 40 known Xanthones in the mangosteen's pericarp and fruit concentrates or extracts usually miss most, if not all, of them. Some products claim to be extra rich in Xanthones because they extract and concentrate a small subset of the Xanthones that are available in the fruit and thus undermine the synergy of the entire fruit. They often focus on the Alpha Mangostin Xanthone which is an anti-oxidant and miss all of the other Xanthones that are anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, etc. Also look for warning signs like added sugars, preservatives, added water, etc. Be very aware of what you are buying. To the best of my knowledge, there are no store bought brands that are whole fruit, not watered down, and without concentrates, extracts or additives.
8) The whole fruit tastes nasty without help. Try different brands to find the one that tastes best to you. There are brands out that there that are the whole fruit and tastes delicious. If you try a brand and it tastes bad, keep experimenting with other brands. If it doesn't taste good, you won't keep drinking it over time. Taste is a huge barrier to consumption and if you want to use the mangsoteen over the long term as a health aid, then you need to find one you enjoy drinking or you WILL quit even though it is good for you.
9) The first company to bring mangosteen juice was XanGo. You cannot buy XanGo in a store nor do I believe you can buy any unadulterated whole fruit puree mangosteen juice in a store. At least, I haven't found one yet. Most are sold only through direct distributors. XanGo is an international business and they drop ship directly to your door, as do most all direct sales brands.

Ok, so the blog title is a lie. I'm not actually selling my worn panties. Although based on the research I just did, it seems as though I'm in the wrong job! Apparently there's a market out there for used/worn/soiled/musty/wet panties. Whatever floats your boat I guess.
My best friend and I have some really bizarre and strange conversations. We have done since we were 14, which is why, I guess, that we're such great friends. We can talk about everything and anything and not worry about being judged or ridiculed.
Tonight's conversation was about jobs. Finding stuff that we really want to do and stuff we really enjoy. I jokingly said she should become an Ann Summers rep, or write erotica, or even became a phone sex operator (they make big bucks!).
I watched a documentary on phone sex operators and most women do it from home, and can make a fair amount of income. Think about it, you spend all day on the phone, you can catch up on your ironing whilst telling someone that you're not wearing any panties and that you've been a naughty girl and need to be spanked. It seems that some men pay big bucks for these types of phone calls. So essentially you're getting paid to stay home, in your pyjamas, catching up on your ironing and making the odd moan of "you like that?" down the phone. Easy money I'd say. If it wasn't for the fact that I'd laugh my arse off, I'd totally do that kind of job.
Anyway, I digress. I told my friend that she could probably sell her used panties on eBay. It seems that there's a market for that too. Mind you, I'm not surprised, if there's a market for men who want to be sat on by 300 pound women, then why not dirty panties. I even found out that there's a market for used underwear that's been squirted with breast-milk. Mommy issues maybe?!?
Think about it, you can get some really nice feminine underwear for as little as £1. (it's not like you plan to wear it for a long time anyway) You wear the panties,and then someone buys them. On my research I found a woman in the UK who sells her used under garments for £23 a pair. There's a profit to be made here. And it cuts down on laundry, because you won't need to wash your pants. You just pop them in an envelope and mail them off.
Somehow I don't think either of us will change our careers from what we're doing now to selling our dirty panties on the Internet, but in this economic climate I guess it's an option.
Imagine explaining that job on your CV.

Anime Review: Linebarrels of Iron
Anime Review: Linebarrels of Iron
When I was in high school, I would've killed to have my own naked girl or my own giant robot. This guy gets both on the same day!
This sounds like a good old fun anime with alot of cliche but knowing that its doing it XD
I love how he summons the machine! I think I have to add this to my "To see" list!
[Deleted out of fear of being, probated, suspended, or banned]
Nice, added to my must see list :P
Obvious troll is obvious.
Looks cool, I might have a gander.
*Sigh* i know what this is gonna get me, but here i go
Linebarrels of Iron was good enough to watch. the `bad guys are actually good guys`plot twist was cool. I liked the use of 3D animation, even if it did seem simply `tacked on`at some parts. The main character was easily detestable at first, he went to the "what made Light Yagami a pric." school of heroes.
Did anyone else experience Eureka Seven flashbacks while reading the first paragraph of that article?
Nice, while i typically don't like huge amounts of fan service i wont let it stop me from enjoying a good Anime/Manga/Game, and this looks like a good anime.
Please at least put a spoiler on the only twist in the series in a thread recommending people to go watch it.
As for the show its self, as you said its a good point for people just starting out, but any one who's watched a mecha show or two before will find it painfully generic. More so when a similar idea and theme was done recently and far better in Gurren Lagann.
Mecha animes aren`t really my favorite genre in anime plus why the hell must the protagonist so damn pathetic, there is nothing I hate more then a pathetic anime protagonist. The robots where cool though.
yay for torrents. Dont know what I would do without them. Only way for me to get anime, I normally can't find them at stores and when I do they are so damn expensive (4 episodes for 20 dollars omgwtfbbq)
Yeah sorry bout that man, totally my bad about the spoiler.
I had not even heard of this Anime until now, but it does sound good and i think that I will watch it even if it does sound like it has alot of cliches, (this is not always a bad thing)
I am confused how this got positive ratings... Sure the anime was cool, and the 3-D mech fights were pretty good (though nothing particularly special), but the plot was embarrassingly bad. Now noting that I only made to episode three before giving up,mostly because the main character is a relentless (insert demeaning word or phrase here).
Many people would accuse me of not having gained the whole experience because this is like putting all your opinion on a video game having just played the demo, but something in the plot should hook you in to make you dive in and enjoy it, the only reason I made it to episode three was because I was hoping that it wouldn't be incredibly cliche with poor writing and unlikeable characters. By no means are the use of cliches bad, you can utilize them and make it interesting, but creating a character who from the start you want to poor his entrails in a blender and make him drink a colon smoothie, is not the best way to create the main hero, especially when he declares "I AM THE HERO OF JUSTICE" while causing more property damage than everyone else combined.
But I digress, I suppose each person has their own opinion of good anime, this felt neither fun nor good in comparison to other anime in the Giant Robot Genre, such as Gurren Lagann.
Linebarrels of Iron is loud, it is bright but it certainly wasn't fun. I watched this with my anime club, ready to have a laugh but it wasn't even laughably bad. It was just bad. I agree with suubersnake... the plot was terrible and the way it tried to explain the logic behind all failed.
I actually finished the series on my own and as I continued, I found myself detesting the characters more and more. No protagonist of a mecha series is as annoying as Kouichi and when they tried to develop his character, I just didn't buy it for own second. I really did hate his preachy "I'm the hero of Justice!" attitude, whilst heedlessly committing mass murder.
And another thing... thrusting joysticks back & forth to control a mech was acceptable back in the day with Gundam. But now I really do need an explanation, why how this kid was able to control the thing with zero combat experience... unless it's Tengen Toppa. ^_^
i was very disappointed with the anime version of the manga. The anime was no where as good as the manga in my opinion. I watched up to the episode where we find out Domyouji (who is my favourite character in the manga) is a bad guy, and I just gave up on the whole thing.

'IF it was an attack, then why did I still have my phone and my wallet... unless someone did it for fun?'
Those are the words of 73-year-old Bridgwater man Robin Powell, after he was discovered in a shopping centre car park with significant and mysterious injuries - including a permanent dent in his skull.
Mr Powell was making a routine trip to Angel Place with his wife at 10am on May 10 when he was discovered on the floor with the serious injuries to his face.
He was rushed to hospital by ambulance, and spent 13 days under the watch of doctors before being released.
As well as the dent in his skull, Mr Powell suffered fractures to his left eye socket and left cheek bone, and extensive bruising to his face, left shoulder and right wrist.
Five weeks on from the attack, Mr Powell said: "I am in a state-of-shock still.
"I have been out of hospital for a while now. I got out on May 23.
"I am still getting headaches now, but nothing permanent. My shoulder and elbow are back to normal, my face is mostly back to normal.
"I have still got a dent in my head which is where my skull was hit."
Although it is unknown how Mr Powell received his injuries, doctors do not believe they were just caused by a fall and the incident has sparked a police investigation.
PC Ryan Burr said: "We need help to establish what happened to this man as he can't remember and unfortunately there's no CCTV in the car park.
"Were you in the car park on the morning of 10 May? Did you see how the man came to be on the floor?
"Or did you see anyone acting suspiciously in the area at the time?"
Mr Powell has described the incident as being a normal day.
He said: "I drove into town and took my wife to the hairdressers. I parked in Angel Place and went into Wilkinsons.
"I bought some razors and then took them back to the car. I locked the car and was going to go and have my haircut.
"The next thing I know, well I was told I was in a heap on the floor.
"Apparently I said I had fallen over, but the injuries I sustained were more serious than that.
"The doctors don't think I just fell over."
Mr Powell said the dent in his skull is on the side of his head, near to the temple.
He had scratches and marks were all over his face, including under his chin.
"It is a bit of a mystery," he added.
"I must have been unconscious for a little bit, I think anyone would be with that amount of damage.
"I can recall the ambulance arriving and parking outside Angel Place alongside the wall by the loading area.
"I recall the ambulance being there, and then I remember once they had sorted me out in hospital, so I lost a few hours there."
In total he spent 13 days in hospital undergoing a number of x-rays, tests and scans, although no operations were required.
He has since returned to Southmead Hospital in Bristol to see a consultant.
"People keep asking if I have suffered anything like this before, like going unconscious, but I haven't.
"I can't remember the last time I went to the doctor, and I think it was just a check up.
"The police and PC Burr have been very good in following it up and everything.
"Hopefully we can help them to find something.
At 73, Mr Powell said he still leads an active life, and attends the Men's Shed in Taunton twice a week, although he is unable to go at the moment.
"I just can't believe I would fall over like that," he added.
"If I tripped I would try to correct myself. To fall down and be knocked totally unconscious just doesn't make sense.
"If it was an attack, then why did I still have my phone in tact and my wallet in my pocket, unless someone did it for fun?"
If you witnessed the incident or have information which could help police, please call 101 and provide the call handler with the reference 5219106104.

My daughter and I have been sharing the Mac charger since the other one had a run-in with the vacuum cleaner.
Knowing I was running low on battery life, she left the charger on my desk with this note.
"Stay charged" were the instructions…
…on a cord unconnected from a power source.
Were wiser words ever unintentionally written?
In this electronic age, it seems counterintuitive to recharge our bodies, minds and spirits by unplugging. But that's how human beings are wired.
Each Sunday I take a break from marketing to share something inspiring. Pass it on…
