The problem with the dual protagonists reminded me of L and Kira because Death note seemed like it was doing bad after they killed L off.
Another failed manga? Come on, there are ways to get Reversi on top guys! I was hoping they were going to have an angel as the new antagonist, so both demons can join forces to fight it.
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.
i like this week's chapter. but, i still think both manga ideas suck balls. "Zombie Gun" and "Reversi", we have enough demon and monster-styled manga. hell, there's zombies if Claymore, if you read between the lines.
True. It reminded me much of Death Note.

When I started this weight loss journey, I was in a size 16.
I've been a steady size 14 since I was in high school. Occasionally I could fit into a 12, if they were cut large and forgiving. Only after college have I had to venture into the land of 16's.
Well. Lately, my size 14's were getting large – and therefore annoying.
So last night I went (cheap) jeans shopping with one of my best friends, Spencer.
I was absently digging through jeans, pulling out a few that I thought would be the correct length (aren't most women about 5'4″ or 5'5″? How is it so hard to fit me, then, since I'm about smack in the middle?).
Finally Spencer kind of yelled at me – "Why are you pulling out 14's?"
"Because it's my size!"
And he said, "NO IT'S NOT."
It kinda hit me then that I was really and truly a size 12. FINALLY!
As I told Spencer, I've just always grabbed for a 14. I've never had any business looking at smaller sizes, so I just automatically started looking for the number I knew. But, I'm a 12. Finally.
I can't even imagine being in a 10. That just seems… impossible.
But then again, ever being in a 12 seemed impossible too.
But it looks like it is possible. Just a change in the way I eat (and think about eating), and making sure I hit the gym every night…
Just gotta stay on track!

As a new year approaches, you're likely reflecting on how to live a better life. Whether you seek convenience, effectiveness, or success with goals, consider using To-Do lists. Even if you have a great memory, your mind can always use a little help holding onto everything you need to do.
If you use To-Do lists, you'll feel confident that nothing will fall through the cracks. Also, not trying to recall every single thing will help reduce your stress.
Putting things down on paper means you don't have to expend your precious energy trying to recall scads of small details and tasks to do. Instead, you can confidently accomplish projects and daily goals with minimal effort. This way, you save your energy for the big things, the ones that really matter.
Over time, as you use To-Do lists for daily accomplishments, you'll notice a boost in your confidence. It makes sense that if you achieve more in a day, you'll feel better about yourself.
Try this simple, effective system:
- Buy a spiral notebook. Write "To-Do List" on the front of it in big letters. Utilize this notebook only for this purpose.
- Get the size of notebook that will be most convenient for you. If you like a full size 8 ½ x 11 inch notebook, go for it! If you prefer one that fits in a purse, that's good, too.
- Your To-Do list is your key to experiencing more success in everything you do. Nothing builds confidence like knowing you'll eventually achieve every single goal. All you've got to do is write down tasks to be completed and goals to be met. Then do them!
- As you learn to depend on your To-Do list, you'll find you worry less about whether you'll complete tasks. Your confidence will grow as you learn that when it's on the list, it'll get done. Plus, putting a line through completed tasks will build feelings of success.
- It's an amazing feeling to realize you're getting things done every single day. Sure, some days you'll get more done than other days, but still, you're doing something to be proud of. Who would've thought you'd feel so confident, just tearing out a page from a spiral notebook?
A simple to-do list will bolster your confidence in many different ways. You'll be proud that you planned ahead and followed through with your tasks. Plus, finishing each job and getting rid of a whole page of completed tasks will boost your confidence enormously.
Writing down what you want to accomplish in a day can be an integral part of an organized, effective and self-assured life. Start living today and every day with more optimism and confidence by making use of To-Do lists.

Olympus DS-5000 Professional Dictation System Enhances Workflow With Superior Reliability And Ease Of UseFile Encryption Secures Sensitive Recordings for Increased Protection
Center Valley, Pa., February 11, 2008 — Olympus, the market leader for portable digital voice recorders and professional dictation devices, introduces the DS-5000 & DS-5000iD Professional Dictation System. The new, flexible recording system, consisting of a portable dictation device, docking station and peripherals, enables doctors, lawyers and other professionals who rely on dictation to dramatically enhance their workflow.The DS-5000 incorporates many unique and innovative features, including:
"The DS-5000 was developed with feedback from professional users to improve their workflow," said Andrew Flagg, director of sales and marketing, Olympus Imaging America Inc. "Simple, reliable, flexible and secure are the four hallmarks of these devices. Additionally, those whose work involves confidential and sensitive information will appreciate the DS-5000's file encryption and password protection. For even more security, the new DS-5000iD features a biometric fingerprint sensor."
Voice Productivity Starts Here
The DS-5000's intuitive controls and single slide switch simplify operation. The device has a large, backlit, easy-to-read LCD screen that reveals file information, recording time and events on the front of the recorder. Centralized navigation buttons enable easy data input and changes of settings. Users new to digital dictation as well as those on the leading edge will appreciate the DS-5000's sophisticated feature set that can be customized to provide a seamless dictation solution suitable to their work environment. It is built to meet the needs of an active professional with an extremely durable slide switch mechanism and robust buttons, USB connector and battery door. Power conservation is also central to the DS-5000's intelligent design, and it can record for up to 28 hours from its rechargeable battery.
The DS-5000 accepts SD/SDHC and microSD memory cards, providing users with media versatility. Three programmable buttons speedup reaction time. With no extraneous buttons, the DS-5000 allows users to program the functions they use the most onto three buttons for quick and effortless use.
Enhanced Usability
The included user-friendly DSS Player Pro Release 5 software facilitates the archiving, editing and further processing of recordings. USB 2.0 High-Speed delivers fast downloads and uploads of files to and from the DS-5000. The verbal comment function allows users to record comments in dictation so a transcriptionist can better translate the authors' directives or thoughts into their workflow.
Sound Quality
The DS-5000 features the DSS-Pro Digital Speech Standard with a new QP mode for improved sound quality. This mode records at a sampling rate of 16kHz with a compression rate of 28.0kbps and up to 32 index marks per file. In playback, the Smooth Cue/Review function makes it easier to hear words.
Protecting the confidentiality and security of recordings is essential in the workplace. For this reason, the DS-5000 offers file encryption and device password protection. In addition to these features, the DS-5000iD model also features a biometric fingerprint reader to secure the device from unauthorized access, thereby protecting confidential recordings.
Barcode Scanner for Enhanced Workflow
The optional SC1 Barcode Scanner Module for the DS-5000, which plugs into the audio device's SD card slot, further enhances workflow for users who require a barcode scanner. The SC1 Barcode Scanner Module will be available this summer.
LCD with Multiple Language Support
The user can customize the language displayed on the LCD (English, French or Spanish).
USB Cradle
A new USB cradle enables users to easily dock and undock the device with one hand. While docked, the device is able to download and upload files and charge the included Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack. Hands-free recordings can be conveniently created when using an optional RS-27 foot switch in combination with the cradle.
The DS-5000 ships with a DSS Player Pro R5 Dictation Module CD-ROM, 512MB microSD Card, USB cradle, USB cable, carrying case, rechargeable battery pack, AC adapter, instruction manual and Olympus warranty card.
The new AS-5000 PC transcription kit replaces the current AS-4000. The AS-5000 PC transcription kit includes the DSS Player Pro R5 Transcription Module, the RS27 Foot Switch and the new E62 Stereo Headset, which is more durable and static-free than its predecessors.
Pricing and Availability
The DS-5000 Professional Dictation System has an estimated street price of $499.99 (U.S.). The DS-5000iD Professional Dictation System, which provides a biometric fingerprint sensor, has an estimated street price of $599.99 (U.S.). Both systems will be available in April 2008.

Don't forget that if you upgraded your ticket for the Mega Millions winning numbers with the Megaplier then if you have a winning ticket your prize will be multiplied 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x!
The Megaplier does not ordinarily apply for the Mega Millions jackpot. If you want a chance to multiply the top prize worth up to half a billion USD the only way to do so is using the Lottoland UK DoubleJackpot feature which lets players double their prize money if they guess the winning jackpot numbers!
If you haven't won this time bear in mind that is takes an exceptional amount of good fortune to predict the lucky Mega Millions numbers correctly, particularly for a lottery with such big payouts. Half the fun of playing Mega Millions is simply the excitement of taking part in the world's biggest lottery for just a few quid entry fee, less than what you'd pay for a coffee on most High Streets. And if you have managed to win a prize, however big or small, congratulations on being a Mega Millions winner!

Fancy, various locations to eat and enjoy yourself with partner and great America in a 13 min drive distance just a great stay after all and great valet service Beware of an extra 100$ charge at check in just in case you break anything in the hotel but will be refunded after check out and line is to long with no one trying to help them out to make the line go faster
Clean rooms with feel of knowing they are clean Ac went out. Super hot. Small beds
Can't really think of anything. 1. Room was dated. 2. Room with a view had no view. 3. Parking was expensive. 4. Hotel had no charm or allure (other than the advertised picture).
Location Bed was uncomfortable and did not have enough covers shower was outdated and shower head was cheap No coffee station in room Sparsely decorated
Wonderful environment, great Beds close to San Jose Convention Center. Very Friendly Staff, impecible Service.
Rooms Staff at the door
A property in the Fairmont family. Being in historical downtown next to sites of value. Relying on amenities of a high end hotel which did not disappoint. The staff was friendly and helpful in all encounters. Extra fees for wifi these days seems unnecessary. Having to use hotel cards to go between tower and main facility (although security is appropriate).
I liked that it was downtown close to bars, clubs and restaurants.
Walking distance to downtown San jose & Staff was great
Great hotel, room and staff! Got free upgrade upon arrival and an extra 1/2 hour checkout time so we could go to the next door art museum without a hassle.
Had a problem with the first room but they helped me switch rooms no questions asked
The valet service was overwhelmed since the hotel had no self park option. Plus, the valet was serving guests who weren't even staying at the hotel but attending a concert or conference in the area. It's a bit ridiculous that it takes 20 minutes to drop off a car with valet and another 20 minutes to pick it up.
I really Liked its location, we were attending a event at the convention center and the hotel is actually leads into the convention center. That was great! We didn't have to walk at all. All staff members were extremely nice and willing to offer any help that they could offer. The hotel was very busy due to the event, but the staff still dealt with customers in a very polite and friendly manner. I also wanted to say thank you to this hotel for not treating us any different than there other guest, we have been to other hotels and due to our ethnic background have been treated like we were some how less. This hotel did an excellent job treating everybody well and respectively Thank you so much! Some of the things that we weren't so pleased with that room service had certain hours and that it wasn't 24 hours and that the rooms were a little smaller than what we excepted. But overall we had a great experience
Room was very quiet, even with all of the airplane traffic on approach to San Jose Airport.
Great room overall, clean hotel in excellent location. Close to shops, food, and activities. Great service and friendly staff. Convenient parking (though it costs extra even without valet) garage connected to the hotel. Only a block away from Original Joe's. Despite a few quirks, I would stay here again. Charge for WiFi (unless you are an Elite member), ridiculous prices for snack shop food and goods ($5 for a Dairy Milk candy bar, $6 for an Odwalla Smoothie!), $45 for a t-shirt! Also, the hotel smells like the air freshener they pipe in at many of the Las Vegas hotels (could be a plus if you like that). Also, the choice of "aromatherapy" soaps are awful--why not go the clean, fresh scent of soap instead of burned wood?
Excellent location, top choice for San Jose. Walking distance to major attractions and night life in the area. Excellent VTA transit access as well. Also consider the Hilton and Fairmont nearby. Valet parking is $29 with in/out privileges. This is a reasonable price for the area.
Top notch hotel. Clean, newly remodeled, all amenities & on site restaurants etc The valet. He did not specify pricing of valet vs self park or exactly where self park was located.
Pay WiFi with speed tiers.
The room looks clean and nice (1) The materials for bathroom and bathtub look very cheap...like Motel 6 (2) Soap scum were very where inside the bathroom, around the walls, in between the tiles, on the floor...yuck..yuck...yuck. (3) Dust was very where inside the bathroom, on top of base board, surrounding water faucet... (4) Faucet inside the bathtub was rusty and dirty. This should be easily to take care of with $10 spray paint for home depot. (5) Rest room located on the first floor was not clean or not being cleaned regularly. Trash was overflown and just can't believe this happened at the Hyatt hotel. I would never come back here again.
Breakfast Small room, no pool or spa
Os funcionários da recepção, estacionamento e restaurante foram extremamente simpáticos e muito profissionais. O menu do restaurante parecia caro, especialmente para o café da manhã.
Quarto confortável, Nice banheiro Estacionamento caro
A equipe foi great. Boa localização. O Windows abriu um pouco.
Eu adoraria voltar. Quarto arrumado
The staff was very friendly and Made genuine efforts to recommend restaurants in the surrounding area.
Price, location all excellent. Quality of room compared to advertisement photo accurately. Some street noise, perhaps remodel which was good could have installed sound reducing windows. I was ok however I live with people who would have been annoyed. Outside of room, facility was a bit plain; however, much cheaper than other hotels in area. In my opinion you're getting a champagne light room in a beer facility on a beer budget.

Michael Symons previews Chris Christie's State Of The State and local people add their comments. iPHONE VIDEO BY BILL BOWMAN & JOHN SCHOONEJONGEN Asbury Park (N.J.) Press
President of New Jersey Senate sticks foot in mouth and apologizes but Republicans pounce.
TRENTON, N.J. — Democrats sought to highlight New Jersey's jobs and foreclosure problems in advance of the governor's Tuesday State of the State address, but their critique was overshadowed when their state Senate leader suggested Christie welcomed superstorm Sandy.
Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney, a Democrat from Gloucester, N.J., who was fighting a cold but fronting a Statehouse news conference, said Monday that Gov. Chris Christie never has pitched a comprehensive job-creation plan despite an unemployment rate of 9.6%.
Now he said Christie is projecting a boost in jobs and economic spending as part of post-Sandy rebuilding.
STORY: Christie gives himself an 'A' for 2012
STORY: Christie stands by Boehner criticism
"We gave the governor a jobs package. We gave him one. He vetoed it," Sweeney said. "And his job package is a hurricane. I guess he prayed a lot and got lucky a storm came. I shouldn't say that because that's — I apologize for saying it. But that's not what we should be doing. We should focus on what's important here, and that's putting people back to work."
Though Sweeney immediately apologized, Republicans quickly pounced.
"No one 'prayed' for what New Jersey has endured. This is politics at its worst, and Senator Sweeney's next press release should be to all residents of New Jersey saying he is ashamed of what he said today," said Michael Drewniak, Christie's spokesman.
A Fairleigh Dickinson University PublicMind poll released Monday shows Christie with an approval rating among registered voters of 73%, and 68% rank his job performance as "excellent" or "good." It was conducted Jan. 2 to 6 among 700 voters registered in the state and has a ± 3.7-percentage-point error margin.
Republican lawmakers from Monmouth County, which contains Asbury Park, N.J., ripped Sweeney. Assemblyman David Rible called the comment "shocking and appalling." Assemblyman Declan O'Scanlon Jr. said his "off-the-cuff statement is as heartless as it gets." And Sen. Jennifer Beck said she can't imagine anyone praying for such a disaster.
"The notion that he would wish that storm upon anyone for political gain is absurd and way out of line," Sen. Joseph M. Kyrillos Jr. said.
Sweeney has been sick and said he hasn't slept much in three days though in an interview he declined to use that an excuse for his misstatement. But more than once he knocked at the job-creation impact that could follow Sandy though those other times did so without suggesting Christie wanted the storm.
"I misspoke. I apologized pretty quick for it. Did I feel bad about it? No one feels that way about the storm or anybody involved with it," Sweeney said in an interview. He later added: "An apology's not good enough for a misstatement, when you know you didn't mean it, that no one had to call you on? Come on."
Sweeney also pushed back at Drewniak's remarks.
"It's unfortunate that the governor has found time to exploit my misstatement, which I apologized for immediately," Sweeney said. "The truth of the matter is the chief politicizer of Sandy has been none other than Chris Christie. There is no better example of this than his appearance on Saturday Night Live."
Christie appeared Nov. 18 on SNL, wearing his now-famous blue fleece, making jokes during the "Weekend Update" segment about his wardrobe, his temper and other New Jersey matters.
Sweeney's statement partially obscured the Democrats' efforts to frame Tuesday's State of the State in advance of its delivery. Christie has said the speech will focus on Sandy, which has mostly been a nonpartisan issue in New Jersey, while Democrats — particularly in this election year — want to draw attention to middle-class economic jitters, a rise in foreclosures and Christie's vetoes of bills that would address jobs and health care.
"You just can't say, 'Listen, the storm's here now, I'm not going to do anything else,'" Sweeney said. "We have to deal with the people that have been harmed by this storm. It is critically important. But the people that are losing their homes, it's just as important. The people that can't get jobs, it's just as important. The women that can't get health care, it's just as important."
"Is it a Hobson's choice between losing your house because you could not pay for health care, losing your house because the wind has swept it away or losing your house in foreclosure?" said Sen. Nia Gill, a Democrat from Essex, N.J. "Each of those has the same impact on our citizens. We're not here advancing either Sandy or something else. We're talking about the totality of decisions that we make as the government that has an impact equally on everyone."
In an interview Friday, Christie said he's interested in making progress on other issues but won't prioritize them.
"I'm ready, willing and able to help move some of these things along that have not moved along, like sick-pay reform or shared-services reform or ethics reform. I'm there, I'm ready to go," Christie said. "But my guess is that I'll be spending most of my time on Sandy. And if I'm not out there pushing this stuff, I don't know that it goes anywhere."

To the Editor:
George Bush's economic stimulus package will give individuals who have an income between $3,000 and $75,000 check amounts of $300 to $600, according to www.jbs.org/. Married taxpayers who earn up to $150,000 will receive $1,200. Included in this package is also a $300-per-child tax credit. According to CNNMoney.com, "The package also includes tax breaks for equipment purchases by businesses, as well as payments to disabled veterans and some senior citizens."
Critics of the measure included congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul. In his weekly column, Paul stated: "I am in favor of taxpayers getting some of their money back, however temporary tax cuts and one-time rebates will not 'fix' the economy. What we desperately need right now is real deep significant tax cuts that are enabled by big spending cuts and reduction of government waste that is so rampant. Unfortunately, too many in Washington still believe we can spend our way into prosperity, which does not work and never has."
I agree. The government is merely returning money that was ours to start with. Instead Congress should abolish the Marxist Progressive Income Tax by repealing the Sixteenth Amendment and return us to the freedom to invest in unregulated production for prosperity.

Box score
STONY BROOK, N.Y. – Junior Rory Nunamacher tied the game up with one second remaining in regulation and senior Carter Bender followed suit with the game-winning tally 56 seconds into overtime as the University of Hartford men's lacrosse team handed the Stony Brook Seawolves its first loss in America East play in an 11-10 decision at La Valle Stadium on Saturday evening. With the victory, Hartford, the defending 2011 America East champion, put itself one win away from locking up one of four spots in the upcoming conference tournament, joining Stony Brook (4-9), Albany and UMBC.
Nunamacher finished with a game-best four goals to help the Hawks even their record in league play at 2-2.
Bender finished with a pair of goals while Jared Franze recorded three points on one goal and a pair of assists. Jeff Tundo and Robbie Campbell paced Stony Brook's offense with three points apiece on two goals and an assist.
The Hawks (5-8), who were outshot by a margin of 14-11 in the first half, trailed for the entire opening stanza and entered the halftime break facing a one goal deficit at 6-5.
Out of the intermission, Nunamacher's third goal of the evening at the 10:21 mark tied the game up for the first time since 1-1 at six goals apiece. Less than two minutes later, Connor Yatauro shoveled in his third goal of the year from 10 yards out to give Hartford its first advantage of the contest at 7-6 with 8:29 to go in the third.
The lead didn't last long for the Hawks, however, as Robbie Campbell, who was one of three Seawolves to finish with a pair of goals, evened the game up at 7-7 after wrapping around the crease and sneaking a shot past Hartford keeper Scott Bement. Forty-two seconds later, the Seawolves went back-to-back to regain the one goal edge at 8-7 with less than three minutes remaining in the stanza.
After nearly 10 minutes of scoreless lacrosse at La Valle Stadium, Stony Brook pushed its lead to a pair of goals after Michael Rooney converted on a Hartford turnover with 7:08 remaining on the regulation clock. Less than two minutes later, senior Martin Bowes fed junior Jared Franze from seven yards out who in turn put away Hartford's eighth goal of the evening to again cut the home team's edge to a single goal.
With time winding down in regulation, rookie Kevin O'Shea had the answer for the Hawks, tying the game at nine all with his first goal of the night. Dollard, who racked up two points on the night, was credited with the assist that provided deadlocked the game for the fourth time.
With 17 seconds left, Robbie Campbell delivered what looked to be the dagger for the Hawks, putting the Seawolves ahead, this time at 10-9, with an unassisted score. After winning the ensuing face-off, Hartford called for timeout with eight seconds left. Out of the break, Franze set up the heroics for Nunamacher, who put the finishing touches on his fourth goal and tied the game at 10-10 with just one tick of the clock remaining on the scoreboard.
Hartford finished with a 28-25 lead in the shots column and won 13-of-24 face-offs on the evening. In addition, the Hawks' man-down unit was a perfect 3-for-3 on the evening. Bement finished with six saves in goal while Sean Brady, his counterpart, recorded eight rejections for the Seawolves. The Hawks needed just 56 seconds of extra time to score their second-straight victory over Stony Brook as Bender let the game-winning shot fly with 3:04 left on the clock.
The Hawks host the Vermont Catamounts in their final game of the 2012 regular season on Saturday, April 28 under the lights of Al-Marzook Field. The winner of that contest will earn the final bid to the America East Conference Championship tournament. Prior to the 7:00 p.m. opening face-off, 12 members of Hartford's senior class will be honored with a Senior Night ceremony.

When Kim McMonagle talks about how technology is changing education, she exudes a contagious level of excitement. As the Douglas County School District's director of educational technology, part of her job is to infuse teachers with some of that same enthusiasm.
Her success in doing so recently earned her the international spotlight as a speaker at the largest online education conference. McMonagle was among 12 teachers worldwide who spoke during the Aug. 7 Edmodo.com conference. Edmodo, often called the Facebook of education, is a learning site that offers teachers and students a collaborative learning experience.
McMonagle's presentation focused on how teachers can use Edmodo and other online resources to prepare students for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)-related careers. But Edmodo can be used with any subject.
It's the way of the future, McMonagle believes.
"When I look back at what we were doing in 2005, it's almost nothing compared to what we are doing in the world of education today," she said. "All of these tools have gotten so much easier. Teachers are starting to create online virtual learning experiences. It's allowing them to differentiate and change the way we teach and learn."
Unlike Facebook, Edmodo and similar sites like Schoology are restricted to participants and parents, who can log in to check their students' progress and communicate with teachers.
In 2010, DCSD set up its own Edmodo account. It's an option particularly appealing to elementary school teachers, more and more of whom are using the site to supplement the classroom experience.
"What's really evolved since 2010 is having our students have an authentic voice in their learning and really sharing deeply what they think and understand about their learning," McMonagle said. "We call it giving voice to all the participants in the classroom. When we think about what's changed in education, if a teacher asked a question, you let two or three students respond and you move on. What happens to the voices of the other 25 students?"
In a virtual Edmodo classroom, all students can chime in with responses and ask questions.
It also allows teachers and students to connect to Edmodo participants around the world. McMonagle used ecosystems as a topic ripe for a broader debate. A teacher, she said, "can post, 'I'm looking for another classroom somewhere in the world that's going to be posting about ecosystems. That (discussion) can get to economics, lifestyles, where are good places in the world to live. One topic can go cross-curricular."
The change in educational style "is coming at teachers fast and furious," McMonagle said. "If you're new to technology, it can feel overwhelming. How we support our teachers is huge right now."
That's why people like McMonagle and events like the Edmodo.com conference play vital roles.
In 2012, 12,000 educators from 50 states and 117 countries registered for the conference. That worldwide link, reflected not only in the conference participants but in the program itself, delights McMonagle.
"It's the idea that we're so globally connected," she said. "The world is flat. It's easy to connect. We're neighbors."
McMonagle also recently earned state recognition as the 2013 winner of the Colorado Association of Leaders in Educational Technology's Outstanding Technology Administrator Award.

NORCECA Championships a big test for Canadian women's volleyball team
WINNIPEG – Canada's national women's volleyball team will use the NORCECA (North and Central America and Caribbean) Championships as an important building block towards its upcoming Olympic qualifying season.
The tournament runs from Monday to Saturday in Caguas, Puerto Rico.
''The NORCECA championship is a great tournament,'' said Arnd Ludwig, Team Canada's head coach. ''These are the top teams in our zone. Our goal for the last two years is to get closer to the top teams and this competition will show if we did a good job during the summer.''
Canada is led by top scorer Sarah Pavan of Kitchener, Ont., and team captain Tammy Mahon of Holland, Man. There are seven players from B.C. on the squad: Marisa Field of Kelowna, Carla Bradstock of Richmond, Liz Cordonier and Jennifer Hinze of Vancouver, Brittney Page of Vernon, Kyla Richey of Robert's Creek and Lauren O'Reilly of Langley.
Three players are from Alberta: Julie Young of Red Deer, Claire Hanna and Tasha Holness of Calgary,
Canada, ranked 20th in the world is in Group B with Trinidad and Tobago (number 29) and world number-two USA. Group A teams are 19th ranked Puerto Rico, Costa Rica (23rd) and Mexico (27th) and Group C is comprised of defending champion the Dominican Republic (15th), Cuba (8th) and Panama (55th).
The top team in each group after the round robin get a bye to the semis while the second place teams and the best third place team play in the quarterfinals.
The Canadians open against Trinidad and Tobago on Monday afternoon then face the U.S., Tuesday. The quarterfinals are Thursday, semis on Friday and the medal matches Saturday.
Cuba is the most successful country with 13 crowns followed by United States with five. Canada is the only other country with double figures in the medals department with two silvers and eight bronzes.

OS Wars
By user9157252 on Feb 09, 2008
So I'm becoming obsessive about my stats. I use StatCounter to keep track of the webstats for my blog, and am always interested to see where my readers (what few of you there are) are coming from. It's not just the overall hit-count (which is, frankly, pretty anemic). Raw numbers are not that interesting. StatCounter is free -- for a limited log size -- and is able to collect some impressive stats on a website. I have been using it on this blog, as well as a bunch of other sites I maintain and run, for a while and love it. Aside from the raw numbers and hit-counts, there are lots of other interesting stats like referrers, returning visitors, keyword analysis (what people are searching for when they find my blog), etc.
So one of the more interesting things is the distribution of Operating Systems and Browsers. First the OSes:
As I (and probably everyone else) expected, Windows is at the top of the list. Surprising to me is the strength of Linux! Sadly Mac OS X is trailing even Vista, but Linux!? Wow. Who knew.
Next up is the browser. For everyone who thought that the Browser Wars ended years ago and that Microsoft IE won, think again. It is clear to me that IE has lost. Big time.
Firefox and Mozilla trounce IE. Handily. I was still under the (apparently) mistaken impression that most PC users just used IE. But this would indicate that Firefox/Mozilla is the true winner.
But the one I like the best is the Visitor Map.
It shows where my readers live, or at least where they are reading my blog from. Google Mashups at their best. Readers from all over the planet.
Thanks for reading. And keep coming back!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Anonymous from Must have ideal conditions! Great concept but like everything these days it's cheaply made and for what it cost I don't let my boys use it without me. Once you get it level and the height zeroed in it is fun and great practice. But let me say there's not many days with no wind I mean it has to be almost zero or the balls are everywhere. Needs flat level ground and I mounted it to a piece of plywood because it would wobble and move on flat level grass. Don't get me wrong it's great practice for all ages from 5 to 55 but for over 60$ I want to use it anytime it's dry and not have to constantly adjust it because we use it in the yard not the driveway. I would pay 100$ for one made better and with normal daily use in mind.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Helped my 11 year old I've bought several machines for my son over the past 4 years. Some were expensive $700 to this SKLZ $60 one. I love this machine because it makes him react quickly to a very small ball. We use the quick stick to hit with which is only 12 oz., with a diameter of maybe an inch or inch and a half or so. I think it improves hand eye corodination because the ball and bat are smaller. I don't back up the machine to 30 ft. I put it about 10-15 feet away from him and the balls come at him faster. He gets so pumped when he gets a hit. Another advantage is we are able to use this in our house in a large room. You could also use in a garage or outside. My advice would be to buy the extra bucket of balls because they fly all over and you can lose them easier. The machine does take a minute to turn on etc., and isn't the most accurate, but kids need balls flying in different spots. I think it is a great training aide for all ages and it is fun. Not bad for the price if you ask me.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from Flimsy design, not durable or long-lasting I've been through 2 of these machines in about 10 months. In addition to being unstable and inconsistent in pitching, the motors give out in just a few months. Dick's let me return one but the replacement lasted only a couple months longer. We took care of the machine and followed the directions but the motors seem to fry in a very short period of time. At least we can use the small balls to hit for soft toss but the machine is a waste of money and makes me not want to buy any other SKLZ product that has a motor or something mechanical.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Anonymous from Good Idea Needs A Better Design motor takes to long to rev up ,base is to narrow for stability ,tubes make it unstable and inconsistent ,playing in a soft breeze or wind is a waste of time .seems more like a 25$ machine then the 60 I paid ! probably good for a basement practice session.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great fun and good practice for the hitting enthusiast First, the SKLZ LB Pitching machine works as a reliable and realistic pitching machine to a distance between 30-32 feet. I wish something like this was available when I played 25 years ago. I've had great fun using this machine placing it on my stable wooden deck plugged into an outside outlet while I hit the balls into the back of the house from the backyard (outside). My only request for improvement for the machine is the "about" 5-second frequency between pitches ... it would be beneficial to have some kind of rotating indicator that can be seen as the gravity arms circle out of the way and release a ball into the machine. The timing is about 5-seconds in-between each pitch, but the practice value is limited to improving pitch selection discipline and lower body techniques without a more reliable timing indicator than "5-seconds" ... it could be improved to a more realistic "1-second" notification of an incoming pitch with a simple small color pitch indicator.With consideration to the previously mentioned remarks, if you are looking for keeping someone who likes hitting baseballs/softballs challenged and entertained this is a great toy that could be used inside in a large space, but I would expect most people would not have access to the inside space at home to set this up and use it with a full-swing.I have great fun with this machine. I set up my hitting position 32 feet from the machine. Past experience with machines used when I was playing high school and college baseball assisted me in determining that this machine would be most useful as a practice machine one-half the distance of the normal 65 feet between the pitcher and batter. At 32 feet, the variation of balls pitched in the strike zone is similar to a college team mate pitching live hitting practice. Do expect about 2-3 "balls" per 12 pitches and they will come in both a little high, a little low, and a little inside/outside. ... If you set it up farther than 30-32 feet, expect inaccuracy to be increased ... it isn't designed to be accurate beyond 30 feet. But, if you're just looking for an activity to have some fun and be challenged hitting a ball or practice bunting, go ahead and set it up anywhere and have a blast! :-)

[Verse 1]
Mean Mug, Indecent Mugs
Peace and love, listen up
Why is your mean mug so prominent?
Are you proud of it?
I don't want no part of it
I don't want to pound on it
I just want to ponder it, why is it so preponderous?
It's important to find out what's the point of it
I'm not in support of it
At what point do you appoint it
You do know that its poisonous not poignant
Have you deployed it at your place of employment?
If so, which position have you been appointed?
Would you pose with it for a portrait?
That'd be unfortunate
Is it reinforced uh, is it porcelain?
Peace son, sees you need hugs, sees you need love
Why you wan' mean mug me?
See for each one, clearly need much, clearly need some
Why you wan' mean mug me?
[Verse 2]
There has been a rash of mug means
Mean muggers not for nothing
Where have you been lunching?
What have you been munching?
My dude, food consume will affect your mood
Mickey D's be pumped with drugs
One soul, mean mug
And what is in your iPod, Lemme have a looksie, Oh my gosh
All that I could find was mugs so mean they make mean mugs look kind
Some people call em' "Ice Grills"
Some people call em' "Gas Face"
If you have one in the first place, you're in last place
Peace son, sees you need hugs, sees you need love
Why you wan' mean mug me?
See for each one, clearly need much, clearly need some
Why you wan' mean mug me?
Mean muggers, don't you know we're brothers, but we mean mug one another
People with mean mugs
What are your reasons?
[Verse 3]
In conclusion, I'm in the fight against the mean mug movement
Which I am currently losing
All is not lost
But I know the tide will change
Face muscles will become strained
Mean mugs will become plagued
I'll say hooray
That day please hurry
How soon can we arrange to rearrange the array?
My pest pestilent expressions
I go to full extents and spare no expenses
Boy sand presents, present tense in the present tension
Mugs will be made, pay no attention, make no exception

Lots of sparkle!
"These fit true to size, and are quite dazzling! The bow seems a bit cheap in person, and you have to uncrush-the knot on top. But, the sparkle and hue-changing color quite make up for that! These are easy to wear, are stable, not slippery, and really snaz up an outfit! Not really workplace appropriate, but perfect for parties and dates."

|In response to Re: vent stack
: Functionally, you can make the change is size, but if it is going to be inspected your code may require a continuous 4" pipe rather than a total of 4" venting. You can offset the vent pipe with as many elbows as necessary.
: : I have a 4inch cast iron vent stack that is in a wall in my kitchen (only thing that vents to this is one toilet in the basement). I want to move this wall in my kitchen to make it bigger. Is it feasable to go from 4inch cast iron to 3inch plastic? Also is there a limit to how many 90 degree turns I can make on this vent stack, I will have to make a total of three for this project. Thank you for your help.
A downside of plastic is the noise, I completely removed my cast iron and now regret saving at least a portion due to noise...

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
At a recent Utah Mine Safety Commission meeting, Kevin Tuttle from Energy West spoke to the commission. He presented the procedures followed in an emergency situation.
Tuttle said he appreciated the opportunity to speak to the commission. He said mine disasters strike in many forms, fire, water, gases or cave-ins. They affect many people. The Miner Act of 2006 added more regulations to mining and the Mine Safety and Health Administration is responsible for implementing these regulations. "Mining is a heavily regulated industry. MSHA conducts four complete inspections each year at each mine."
Tuttle said he is involved in mine rescue and recovery. Their first responsibility is to account for the men underground. Each miner as they come to work, checks in and when they leave the mine they check out. Trapped miners change the way things are handled. The first responders assess the situation to see how it will be handled and what is needed. They determine what kind of an emergency it is; fire, water, cave-in, gases and each situation is handled accordingly.
In an emergency, mine rescue and MSHA are notified immediately. Needs are assessed and whatever is needed is transported to the critical area at once. Emergency teams are mobilized at once and it is determined if additional teams are needed. If the disaster is extensive then several teams can be called out. Teams also work to spell each other off as one team enters the mine and others wait outside and take turns within the mine.
Regulations used to state mine rescue teams had to be within two hours traveling time of the mine. Now, new regulations require teams to be within one hour traveling time to the mines.
A command center is set up on the surface for the company and MSHA has a transportable command post which it brings on site. Mine rescue teams consist of six people with five in the mine and one at the fresh air intake. The base is setup out of the mine where the breathable air is available. Those men on exploration in the mine relay information to the surface. Teams rotate in and out of the mine. Teams coming out of the mine are debriefed on what they saw within the mine. With the information gathered from the team, determinations are made on how to proceed.
Tuttle said all those on the mine rescue teams have continual training and schools they attend. They are also heavily involved in mine rescue competitions that test the skills of the team members. These mine rescue teams are filled with volunteers and those willing to learn and take the risks to keep up to date on all advances in the mine rescue field. These contests allow the team members to develop and advance their skill level. All types of mine rescue scenarios are worked out in these competitions. They wear a breathing apparatus and face mask to create real life scenarios as they compete in the gear used in actual rescues. They also have 1,000 feet lifelines that they let out and follow. These are used in situations where smoke makes visibility difficult. They also carry with them the instruments to test for gases, chemicals and oxygen levels. All of the instruments they use are safe for mine use and will not ignite any methane gases.
Tuttle said first aid and first responders are a critical part of mine rescue work. The rescuers must be able to perform first aid on many types of injuries and determine the extent of injuries involved. The mock disaster training is very beneficial for first aid training.
"Mine rescue is a very vital part of the industry, no one wants a disaster, but if a disaster happens we need to be able to be prepared," said Tuttle.
Commission chairman, Scott Matheson thanked Tuttle for taking the commission through mine rescue procedures. He wondered about Tuttle's background in mining.
Tuttle said he has been in the mines for 31 years and on the mine rescue team for 13 years. He is currently the chairman of the Rocky Mountain Mine Rescue Association. He has worked on several rescues including the Wilberg, Des-Bee-dove fire and the Joshua Dennis rescue.
He said they were called the morning of the Crandall Canyon disaster and went immediately to the mine. They went to the command center and learned what was going on. He entered the mine on an initial inspection to see what was taking place. The entry was blocked and the miners were breaking the seal on number one.
Tuttle said immediate action is required and the mine rescue teams are notified first. Each situation is different depending on the type of emergency. In a fire situation, more people are needed to fight the fire.
Rescue teams may make a cursory evaluation, but MSHA has control of the situation. Written approval from MSHA is needed which states what each rescue team is allowed to do. Permission is needed under a 103K order.
Initially a company sends in a mine rescue team, but teams can't be sent into harm's way. Decisions need to be made and the situation evaluated for danger, you can't jeopardize a team, you need to know the facts about what the disaster is and formulate a plan.
The critical people involved are at the command center. The mine management, workers, engineers, mine maps, water systems, ventilation systems; everything needs to be available to monitor these systems during this critical time. Gas also needs to be monitored. "It is a chaotic time, but, once it's determined exactly what is going on, the mine can be explored in sequence, and you will go into a controlled situation," said Tuttle.
Tuttle said in Crandall Canyon they weren't needed, it was a manpower issue to get back to the area where the miners were.
Matheson wondered about MSHA and their role in determining a rescue plan and if they have good understanding and knowledge of the mine or if that information comes from mine management.
Tuttle said MSHA has a good feel for the local mines, they are inspected by local people who become familiar with each mine and its personality. The district people also have a good background. MSHA controls how things are laid out. The company says how they want to run the show and MSHA grants that permission.
Matheson said, "The company makes the decision and MSHA ratifies it? How did Crandall Canyon go?"
Tuttle said the rescue teams from the company entered first. MSHA was there and set-up their command center. Their field office supervisor did a good job mobilizing. They went through all the steps. "They were prepared, they were doing everything they could, they made all the calls. They did a good job," said Tuttle.
Matheson wondered if there was any conflict. Tuttle said no, MSHA has a good relationship with the mining company.
Matheson said they are exploring the idea of a central facility for training. "Are you aware of programs in other states that we don't do?
Tuttle said he is familiar with a mine in Colorado where detailed training is given, for fire fighting, smoke and other related areas. "It is beneficial to have detailed training," said Tuttle. Matheson wondered if WETC could become such a training facility. Tuttle said it could be a unique training center, with a lot of potential for training scenarios and for contests.
Matheson wondered if it would be beneficial to store equipment and supplies at a central location. Tuttle said they all have their own apparatus, but other things like technical equipment which each mine might not have of their own could be beneficial. Foam, sound testing, infrared testing, highly technical equipment which could be used jointly by all mines could be useful.
David Litvin, commission member said the charge of the commission is to determine the role the state should play in mine safety. He asked Tuttle in his years of experience how MSHA fulfills its role.
Tuttle said he was there in the days of state inspectors and he doesn't think state inspectors are needed. The federal inspectors are in the mines hundreds of times each year and he doesn't see the benefit of duplication with state inspectors. "If the state is involved it would have to be much greater than before. The feds do a great job and cover the mines well. I think the state should focus on education and training on hazards to keep our mines safe. If companies and miners are more skilled, they will have the ability to recognize hazards. My thoughts are that education should be the focus; another layer of inspection is not needed in my opinion," said Tuttle.
Litvin wondered about a state mine rescue team. Tuttle said the state could participate in mine rescue if they had something to add to existing teams; someone who could add expertise, skill and equipment could be beneficial.
Rep. Kay McIff wondered about the process for approval of mine plans and wondered if it would be a benefit to have a second opinion in reviewing mine plans.
Tuttle said he works closely with the mine plans of his company and plans change constantly due to changing conditions. MSHA reviews the plans and sometimes changes need to be made quickly to alleviate a dangerous situation.
Time is critical in plan changes. If a plan is submitted to add new roof control, it needs to be approved in a timely manner.
"I don't have a problem with the state looking at plans, if it is done expeditiously. Some things, don't need to be engineered to death. Some are just small changes. I could see that turning into a nightmare with dual approval. It could cause a burden to industry. I haven't seen a lot of issues with plans, plans change continually. This last year we had 40 revisions on plans sent in, by our company," said Tuttle.
McIff said he didn't want to impede industry, but there have been questions raised on the approval process of mine revisions. "I don't want a long process, but just a check against an inadequate review process.
Tuttle said after the MSHA people look at the plan and approve it, they could ship it to the state to look at, but the pressure would be on the state to look at in a time sensitive manner.
Tuttle was questioned about the MSHA orders. He said they have two types of orders, K and J. 103K is a discretionary view, if the company wants to do something, then MSHA has to approve it.
Tuttle said when the company wanted to start drilling they immediately starting looking for drilling rigs and started that process.
Huntington Mayor Hilary Gordon asked questions about union and nonunion mines. Tuttle said everybody in the area has a mine rescue team. Union is not an issue when you have a disaster.
Gordon said there were rumors at the time of the disaster that Bob Murray had run the union mine rescue teams off the property and she wanted to dispel those rumors.
Tuttle said they had heard the same thing, but that was just not the case they weren't run off. They were treated with the utmost respect. Union and nonunion was not an issue with the Crandall Canyon mine disaster.

Where's Akira? And what about the original Mobile Suit Gundam? Seed was absolute bile compared to that.
Props to Ravona for the awesome sig! Noel is the greatest and I challenge you to prove me otherwise!
MyAnimeList MyMangaList
I wont list in order that would take to long but here are some of the top of my head.
Robotech - Yeah I was a kid in the 80's this was one of the 1st anime I ever saw( I KNOW ITS STORY VARIED FROM MACROSS BUT I LIKED IT XD)
Akira - Watched this 20x times when it came out
Nausicaa Valley of the Wind - Instant classic
Neon Gensis Evangelion - talk about a deep story
El hazard(the orginal oav) - breathtaking artwork style and funny story
Slayers (tv series) - This sh^t made me laugh soo damn hard yet had alot of cool ideas in it as well
Vison of Escaflowne - I remember getting this on Fansub VHS tapes: Love orginal world
Fist of the North star - "I hit your power point you have 5 seconds to live" another classic anime
Naruto - Great story telling & tactical battles love it
Future Boy Conan - Many ppl may not have heard of this little gem set in post apoclyptic future but this was one of the 1st epic anime's directed by Hayao Miyazaki the famed director who did Princess Monomoke and Nausica Valley of the Wind. I recomend you go and find this fansub now!
Princess Mononoke - Another Miyazaki feel good classic
Dragonball Z - Was a fun series with alot of intense action
Gensis Surviver Giarth (part 1) - This series had so much potential but started to go downhill abit towards the end. A remake tv series would be awsome.
Ronnin Warriors - This shows dialoge would a little corny by todays stadards but was entertaining all the same
Sailor Moon - >.> Yea I watched it ... it was the only anime on tv back in 1995 but you know the thing that made this show was the villans to me. I liked Nephlite using the stars to divine his tactics & the Darkmoon villans of Sailor R where the best after that the show went down hill and I stopped watching.
Magic Knight Rayearth - Was a very classic RPG like story and the ending plot twist of the 1st series was good.
Claymore - I really like this wish the anime kept up with the manga
Fatal Fury (all 3 OAV's) - IMO the best video game to anime series. Wolfgang Krauser was the sh^t. ( My favorite line " Joe once again you are being far too loud this is a Hotel die quietly or I'll have to ask you to leave." ~ Krauser)
Trigun - The 1st couple episodes moral lessons where the best plus a kick ass OP song.
Shadow Skill (tv series) - This series had alot of potential It seemed like there was soo much more depth to the story.
I know I have other but my mind has gone blank I will think of some more later but this is all I got for now.
(I'm always looking for epic anime and I alway seem to love the Post apocolyptic themed stories so if anyone knows of some more feel free to post )
the original gundam is awesome. I personally liked The original macross series more though.
I might as well List mine too. In no particular order.

Is Vampire Hunter D considered an anime.

Yeah, Vampire Hunter D- was good indeed (this single title made up my mind that older productions ain't bad)
Gokudou-kun Manyuuki- did you hear about it? Maan I strained few muscles XD
Princess Mononoke- no questions here
Spice and Wolf- well it's different than usual fantasy story
TTGL- Well I liked it, that's reason enought^^
So what that you can see the dark inside of me?
