Greg Rosener calls the community assessment being conducted this week by a Denver-based non-profit organization the "critical element" for Estes Valley Partners for Commerce as that group moves forward with plans to create an economic development council.
"We needed this for third party validation," Rosener said late Monday night, following a day where four different focus groups – 137 total people – voiced their opinions about Estes Park businesses, organizations, town government, traffic, tourism, and the need to recruit more primary job companies.
Rosener is the chair of an Estes Valley Partners for Commerce task force that has been working for almost a year to lay the groundwork for an economic development council. His group recently completed a preliminary report: The Estes Valley's Economic Future: The Path Forward.
Rosener said the community assessment that is being done by Downtown Colorado, Inc. was recommended by a number of economic development organizations that met with the EVPC task force. Rosener said the assessment should be the final piece the task force needs as it seeks both town government and community support for an economic development council.
Downtown Colorado, Inc. conducted its focus groups at the Estes Park Conference Center in the Rocky Mountain Park Inn and also took a downtown tour on Monday. The results of the focus groups and input from the tour will provide the background for the assessment report that will be presented to Estes Park town officials and the public at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. That presentation will be made in Estes Park Town Hall Boardroom, 170 MacGregor Avenue.
Members of the EVPC task force listened to many of the focus groups Monday and came away with a positive feeling about what was discussed.
"I'm impressed with how the community embraced this," said Charley L. Dickey IV, a EVPC task force member. "Wasn't it nice on how no one asked: 'How are we going to fund this?' It was just so nice not to get side-tracked."
That isn't to say that there weren't a lot of different points raised during the focus groups.
Some positive comments about Estes Park included: Rocky Mountain National Park; strong associations (real estate, lodging, wedding, etc.); a low vacancy rate for the Stanley Village shopping center; 75,000 tourists a day in the summer; the downtown River Walk; closeness to Front Range communities, and the closeness to Denver International Airport.
A few negative comments included: Estes Park is not bicycle-friendly; a lack of diversity among businesses; declining school enrollment; a lack of affordable housing; no inventory of businesses; no chamber of commerce; a need for a better recycling program; polarization of people who want town to grow and those who don't.
Katherine Correll, the director of Downtown Colorado, Inc., said she and her six-person staff would work hard Tuesday to come up with a meaningful presentation for the town later in the day.
She said while Estes Park thinks of itself as unique, a lot of its problems aren't.
"A lot of their concerns are more common than you would think" Correll said. "Like a lack of communication and structure, the inability to exchange communication, not necessarily talking to each other . . . this is more common than you might think."
Downtown Colorado, Inc. members will have a working breakfast beginning at 8 a.m. Tuesday followed by a nearly full day dedicated to follow-up interviews, developing a presentation, working on an action matrix, and a closed meeting with the EVPC task force and town administrator.
The public presentation and reception will follow at 4:30 p.m
Community assessment presentation
Downtown Colorado, Inc. will present a community assessment to Estes Park town officials and the public at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. That presentation will be made in the Estes Park Town Hall Board Room, 170 MacGregor Avenue.

Minnesota is closing in on a milestone on the jobs front.
Minnesota is closing in on a milestone on the jobs front.
A report due Thursday from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development will reflect the state's unemployment rate for August. But that report will also show if Minnesota has finally regained the jobs shed at the depth of the last economic recession.
As of last month, the state needed about 5,500 jobs to restore the employment level prior to the recession.
Thursday's update will provide jobs figures for August. Minnesota's unemployment rate in July stood at 5.2 percent, which was solidly below the national average. For the year, the state has added some 71,000 nonfarm jobs.

99 Outback trans compatibility
Posted 24 August 2010 - 11:26 AM
I have a 99 Outback with a hydraulic clutch.
Will a trans with a cable operated clutch work in it?
Of course I'd have to use the fork from the hydraulic one.
As far as I can figure out, any 4.11 trans will work for me if the clutches will work right. Right?
Any other issues with this plan?
Anybody have a 4.11 EJ trans they want to get rid of cheap?
Thanks for your help, I'm getting frustrated trying to figure all this out.
Posted 24 August 2010 - 12:30 PM
What you want (ideally) is a 97 to 99 OBW transmission. That will be the most direct swap with correct gear ratios and final drive of 4.11. Though a 97/98 will be a 4-bolt bell housing vs. the 8 bolt on the '99. Not a big deal though you just leave the unused 4 out.
Also the '99 has a different center diff system. More advanced I beleive. This does not affect the swap but it might affect how it drives (slightly).
The other way you could go is with a 90 to 94 Legacy transmission - they were also 4.11 final drive but the gear ratio's will be different due to the smaller wheels/tires. Additionally you would have to either fabricate a center exhaust hanger or swap the rear output housing off your old tranny in order to use the fancy 95+ exhaust hanger that bolts to the side of the tranny. Also on the 90 to 94 transmissions you would have to use some of the linkage parts from your old tranny as they changed ear spacing on the linkage bushings, etc. Notably the shift rod peice that is roll-pinned to the tranny shift rod.
I'm about to do the same swap on a '99 OBW I aquired with a blown 5 speed so if there's anything beyond what I just outlined let me know or I'll let you know - depending on who gets there first

I just had to buy the most oddball Outback around. Should have gotten a 96.
Great info. Thanks a bunch. I'll just keep looking for a 97-99 OB trans. I don't really have time to figure anything else out or run into issues. Gotta have it fixed. Apparently I have to actually go to work to get paid and I only have 1 car.

Just out of curisoity, why would you want to go back to a cable?
I don't.... well actually... I kinda do. I hate the hydraulic system. But that's not what I'm going for here.
I was wanting to know if a trans from a car with a cable operated clutch would work in my 99 with a hydraulic clutch.
Someday I might get ambitious and try to rig a cable operated clutch and hill holder from a 96 up in mine.
Posted 24 August 2010 - 04:00 PM
Although they do tend to have less issues in some cases with all the slave cylinder/hose problems on some years. At least with a cable you pretty much know where you stand - it's either a bad cable or a broken fork if you are having problems that aren't related to being worn out.
Posted 24 August 2010 - 04:03 PM
You don't want the HH - they are dangerous off road because they won't let you roll backward without jiggery-pokery with the pedals to get the HH to release the brakes. If you *need* to roll backward for some reason it slows the reaction time.
Posted 24 August 2010 - 04:18 PM
HAHA.... I'm stealing that.
I figured out with my old 88 DL that if you messed with adjustments you could make the hill holder ONLY hold when you pushed it REALLY hard.
No, I don't remember exactly how I did that. But it was cool. I could decide when it held.
I was thinking I could figure out something like that with a newer one. I don't know. Never even seen a newer hill holder system. That's on my someday/maybe list.
First I've got to get rid of the horrible racket my trans is making.
And get new BFG TA KO's. F-ing nails in the road.
Posted 24 August 2010 - 04:28 PM
In the case of the one I have it doesn't even move anymore. The tranny is TOAST. So I don't have that option. But it's not that hard to replace the bearings and I would be doing that if I could since the results would be superior to used and cheaper. This is a common problem with the 5MT's - in fact it's the one thing that makes the 4EAT's more reliable - which sucks. :-\
The HH's never really changed. The last one I played with was a '96 and it was the same as the HH on my EA81's. Slightly different cable on the tranny end but otherwise basically the same system.
Edited by GeneralDisorder, 24 August 2010 - 04:31 PM.
Posted 24 August 2010 - 05:00 PM
I have a general noise when I'm driving. Like a bearing.
And I have a horrible noise in reverse. Sounds like I'm beating two pieces of metal together when I back up.
What kind of an issue does that point to?
Posted 24 August 2010 - 05:26 PM
I'm just curious as I find this interesting.

What's New in Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition?by Wei-Meng Lee, author of .NET Compact Framework Pocket Guide
At the recent Mobile Developer Conference 2004 in San Francisco, Microsoft announced the new Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition (SE), an update to its Windows Mobile platform. The SE is an enhanced version of the Windows Mobile 2003 platform (also commonly known as Pocket PC 2003).
In this article, we'll take a look at the major improvements to the SE, which are:
Support of VGA resolution for Pocket PC devices. The SE now supports up to 640 by 480 resolution. The current version of Pocket PC 2003 only supports 320 by 240.
Support of QVGA (Quad-VGA) resolution for Smartphones. The Smartphone SE now supports a resolution of 320 by 240, which is what Pocket PCs today are capable of displaying. The current Smartphone in the market only supports a resolution of 176 by 220.
Dual-display mode for Pocket PCs: Portrait and Landscape mode. The SE allows the Pocket PC display orientation to be switched on the fly. As such, applications need to be modified if they want to take advantage of this feature. Smartphones, however, do not support dual-display mode.
The SE now supports a new form factor (square): 240 by 240 and 480 by 480 (for VGA screens). This new form factor is suitable for vendors who want to incorporate a hardware keyboard to the device. The current aspect ratio of 320 by 240 makes it too clumsy to add a hardware keyboard. The HP iPAQ 4355 is a good example (see Figure 1).
Figure 1. The HP iPAQ 4355: adding a hardware keyboard lengthens the device.
To summarize, the Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition supports the following modes, resolutions, and DPI implementations:
Pocket PC
- Portrait / Landscape QVGA (240 by 320, 96 DPI)
- Portrait / Landscape VGA (480 by 640, 192 DPI)
- Square screen (240 by 240, 96 DPI)
- Square screen VGA (480 by 480, 192 DPI)
- Portrait (176 by 220, 96 DPI)
- Portrait QVGA (240 by 320, 192 DPI)

You may not yet be able to get a device that runs the SE, but you can download the:
The emulator packages ship with 12 new emulator images for Pocket PC and two emulator images for Smartphone. You can invoke these emulators from within Visual Studio .NET 2003 (see Figure 2).
Figure 2. Using the emulators within Visual Studio .NET 2003.
Form Factor and Screen Resolutions
The different form factors for Pocket PCs and Smartphone are shown below (images for the Phone Editions are not shown, since they are also identical to the Pocket PCs).
Square Form Factor
- VGA Square Pocket PC 2003 (480 by 480)
- VGA Square Pocket PC 2003 Phone Edition (480 by 480)
- Square Pocket PC 2003 (240 by 240)
- Square Pocket PC 2003 Phone Edition (240 by 240)
Landscape Form Factor
- VGA Landscape Pocket PC 2003 (640 by 480)
- VGA Landscape Pocket PC 2003 Phone Edition (640 by 480)
- Landscape QVGA Pocket PC 2003 (320 by 240)
- Landscape QVGA Pocket PC 2003 Phone Edition (320 by 240)
Portrait Form Factor
- VGA Pocket PC 2003 (640 by 480)
- VGA Pocket PC 2003 Phone Edition (640 by 480)
- QVGA Pocket PC 2003 (320 by 240)
- QVGA Pocket PC 2003 Phone Edition (320 by 240)
- QVGA Smartphone 2003 (320 by 240)
- Smartphone 2003 (176 by 220)
Note: Although the emulator images come with emulators in landscape and portrait modes, they are identical. That is, you can still change the orientation of the screen in a landscape mode emulator to portrait mode, and vice versa. But having emulators in different orientation modes will definitely help during application development, especially UI design.

New pillows for the couch have been on my to-do list since the beginning of Winter. I love my Autumn pillows, but I was ready to put them away until next year. When I saw Sarah Watt's Timber & Leaf collection for Blend Fabrics, I knew the natural designs and soft colors were perfect for my house. I mixed in Free Spirit Designer Solids in Pearl and Dogwood.
These two are my favorites!
I was inspired by Amy's Indie Vibrations quilt. I really liked how her string blocks were paper pieced so they would line up, but still be different widths of fabric strips. I made two paper piecing templates, each are 6-1/2″ x 9-1/2″ unfinished. I used 3 of each template to form the 18″ square pillow.
You can buy the pattern for Amy's Indie Vibrations quilt in her pattern shop.
I quilted the pillow with straight lines, about 1/2″ apart. The back is a simple envelope enclosure.
You can find Timber & Leaf at Moona Fabrics. Now to make another one for the other side of the couch!

BERLIN -- Earnings at industrial conglomerate Siemens AG declined 12 percent in the October-December quarter after the company took charges at its transport business and a solar power operation it is selling.
Siemens reported Wednesday net earnings of (euro) 1.21 billion ($1.6 billion) in its fiscal first quarter, down from (euro) 1.38 billion a year earlier. However, its revenue climbed 2 percent to (euro) 18.13 billion despite a 3 percent drop in orders to (euro) 19.14 billion.
"In an uncertain economic environment, we got off to a solid start in fiscal 2013," CEO Peter Loescher said. He cautioned that the global economy was unlikely to help out over the rest of the year to help the company reach its "ambitious goals."
In November, Siemens launched a cost-cutting program and productivity push aimed at saving (euro) 6 billion by 2014 and increasing competitiveness. Loescher said the company's "full attention is on implementing" the program.
During the October-December quarter, Siemens said it would sell its solar business and concentrate its renewable energy focus on wind and water power. Its first-quarter earnings were hit by a (euro) 150 million loss from the solar business and charges at its transport business totaled (euro) 116 million amid delays in the delivery of trains to Germany's national railway.
Siemens shares were slightly lower in early Frankfurt trading, slipping 0.4 percent to (euro) 83.33.

When you cook shaved Brussels sprouts, they develop a caramel-licous sweetness – very un-BS-like. I'm sure that, if blind-folded, non-foodie taste testers trying shaved BS [!] might not even suspect which vegetable they were consuming. I dressed the sweet seared shavings in a creamy fusion Curry-Dijon Sauce: it may sound like an unlikely combo but the smooth, deep flavors of Caribbean curry powder complement the kick of Dijon mustard, especially when tempered in a silken tofu base. Topping it with a layer of toasted pecans adds yet another element of earthy complexity. Plus, the crunch is nice.
PAN-SEARED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH CREAMY DIJON-CURRY SAUCE Serves 1 to 4
Pan-Seared Brussels Sprouts
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1 1/2 inch piece of ginger, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 small onion, quartered
- 7 cups shaved Brussels sprouts [Thinly slice them yourself with a mandoline or if you're lazy like me, Trader Joe's sells them already shaved]
- 1 T olive oil
Creamy Dijon-Curry Sauce Makes a healthy cup. Use the rest as a veggie or Buddha bowl topper.
- 12.3 oz container of silken firm tofu [aseptic container, not refrigerated tofu. That is too grainy for this recipe]
- 1 T Veganaise or other vegan mayo
- 1 tsp Caribbean curry powder [not Indian]
- 1 T Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp brown mustard seeds
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Plus 1/4 cup crushed, toasted pecans, for topping
Mix all sauce ingredients in the food processor until creamy. [Okay, now you can clean it.]
Toss BS [!] with about 1/4 cup of the sauce. Sprinkle with toasted pecans and enjoy.

Interesting - but couldn't this be a correlation != causation issue? Also it seems to imply that violent or criminal behavior is due to organic brain damage. Is that a given?
I think that correlation!=causation applies here.
I read a far more plausible reason in the book Freakonomics (great book btw), which postulates that the fall in crime rates in the US was attributable to the Roe v. Wade decision by the Supreme Court. The logic is that unwanted children are more likely to fall into a life of crime, due t
"Lead has also been associated directly with delinquent, criminal, and aggressive behavior. Denno [1990] finds that lead poisoning is the most significant predictor of disciplinary problems and one of the most significant predictors of delinquency, adult criminality, and the number and severity of offenses. Needleman et al. [1996] find a significant relationship between the amount of lead in bone (a good measure of past exposure) and antisocial, delinquent, and aggressive behaviors. Dietrich et al. [2001] followed a cohort of 195 inner-city youths from birth through adolescence, and found a clear linear relationship between childhood blood lead levels and the number of delinquent acts. In addition, Needleman et al [2002] showed that adjudicated delinquents were four times as likely to have high lead levels than non-delinquents, and several studies have shown that violent criminals exhibit higher levels of lead in their bodies than nonviolent criminals or the general population.25"
It seems to me that this environmental hypothesis is testable (and confirmed) far beyond what is attainable for most theories in the social sciences.
Scientific research is being abused even more in this sensationalist age. Listen, experimental design is simple, really, and therein lies the problem. It's easy enough to come up with a study, run on a limited population, at a level of probability just under then better-than-random threshold that will prove your pet theory. The number of factors involved in the commission of crimes (violent or otherwise) are so diverse, that to attribute it to one factor is absurd. Could it be an increase in law enforcement
There are techniques to take some account of these factors. According to the NYT article, the study's author "uses small variations in the lead content of gasoline from state to state to strengthen her argument." So we have: 1) a correlation between violent crime and presence of lead in the environment, 2) support from state-by-state comparisons, 3) lead poisoning is linked to brain damage resulting in violent behaviors. Is that enough? Probably not - but it's suggestive, and with such sensational claims I expect there will be plenty of peer review.
You're also accusing the result of being a "pet theory". It may be. It may be that many or most scientists cheat. But we shouldn't assume - with no evidence whatsoever - that any particular scientist is acting in bad faith. Do that, and we'll find scientists living down to our expectations.
You may find the study "hard to believe", that it could "prove anything you like". If you don't examine the method, your complaint could also be leveled at any study you like. If you want better science, make specific criticisms - unless of course you don't want science at all.
Pro-lifers believe that abortion is murder, and therefore a crime, so the answer in this case would be yes. There are alternatives to abortion, so your premise may be a false dilemma. How many offenders come from single parent homes? Foster homes? Adoptive two-parent homes?I'd like to know if forcing your beliefs on other people is worth twice as much crime?

Man, watching the final out hurt more than I thought it would.
I hope this is just the start of something great!
Hoping the Dodgers kick the Cards around.
I think this is the start of something good. I'm still bitter but it's a nice start. I always said .500 was the goal and anything else was gravy but being up 2-1 and losing this series hurts. St. Louis knows how to win. Hopefully we do the little things like they do. Seems like they made every defensive play last game.. one thing I want this team to do is show more patience at the plate. Seems like we had runners in scoring position and didn't work the pitchers hard enough.
Oh well.. now back to football. Ugh...lol. I expect the heat to turn up on the Steelers now that the Pirates are done.
I woke up bummed today. Buccos lose. The Steelers stink. And we've gotta eventually deal with Fluery in the playoffs.
I guess on a positive note, it's nice that we have some of the best players in each of their respective sports playing in Pittsburgh. All of our teams should be competitive for the foreseeable future. Let's go!!!!! Return of the city of champions!!!! Starts now.
Guess I gotta be happy to at least make the playoffs after 21 years of losing. Nice season Buccos!!!! Maybe next year, we can sign a couple played that can hit breaking pitches

When 3,300 information-technology professionals were asked about cybersecurity, they said malicious code attacks accounted for the main type of cyberattack their organizations suffered during the past year, although "internal unintentional actions" by well-meaning insiders also wreaked havoc.
While about three-quarters of respondents to the "2011 State of Security Survey" sponsored by Symantec said cyberattack incidents were minimal, 21% said they happened "on a regular basis," and 6% indicated they have suffered "a large number" during the past year.
BY THE NUMBERS: Corporate cybercrime costs skyrocket
When cyberattacks occurred, the main costs incurred were related to "downtime of our environment" and "lost productivity," according to IT professionals in the financial, manufacturing, high-tech, healthcare, real estate and energy, and other sectors who answered the survey conducted by Applied Research.
The survey's respondents also indicated they considered "targeted attacks," "hackers" and "industrial espionage" to be significant security threats to their organizations, although "well-meaning insiders" who inadvertently cause security problems also got much mention.
That's because one of the biggest headaches right now is a rise in social engineering attacks on employees via social-networking sites that involve tricking the employees into downloading malicious code, says Ashish Mohindroo, senior director of product marketing at Symantec.
The survey reports that the average mean productivity loss in the past 12 months was $915,303. When it was determined that a cyberattack led to loss of customer trust or damaged customer relationships, the amount was $1.14 million over the course of the past year, and loss of sensitive data racked up a $1.71 million loss.
When asked to rate the effectiveness of safeguards in curbing cyberattacks, the most effective method was seen as "keeping patches and definition files current," and "perimeter security," which only goes to show: The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Volkswagen CrossBlue: This looks like a near-production version of VW's largest offering. Don't think the exterior will stray much from the concept's design, but the interior will probably be drastically different. Looks like there will be plenty of third-row legroom. I'm excited to see what becomes of this boat.
Infiniti Q50: I saw the G replacement before I left the show on Tuesday. As I walked around the car, I discovered a crouched John Krafcik, president and CEO of Hyundai Motor America, taking pictures of the car's rear end with his iPhone. Guess he liked it as much as I did.
Mazda6 Skyactiv-D racer: I don't care about "infotainment," which isn't a word, so I'm lured to automakers that prioritize driving. I did a walkaround of this beast with John Doonan, director of Mazda Motorsports. Three interesting tidbits of information from our conversation come to mind. One, the race engine shares 63% of its parts with the road-going engine, including the block and camshafts. Two, the car threw its belt during testing because of a damper on the tensioner. Three, the diesel fuel comes from animal fat, doesn't smoke, and doesn't foam on fill-up.
Mercedes-Benz CLA-class: It wasn't at the show, but I saw the car on Sunday night at a reveal party. It's really pretty, though it doesn't hold a candle to Diane Kruger, who was mingling in the crowd, wearing a jaw-dropping white dress.
Kia Cadenza: Just give us the Quoris already, not a Kia Azera. The Cadenza, a name that Kia has been using in other markets, doesn't set your loins ablaze. It's as exciting as the Diane Rehm show.
Shelby American Ford Focus ST: You think you can debut a Shelby-badged Focus ST without engine upgrades, promising that a tune is coming for $500? Paying more for power in a Shelby? For shame. Ford Racing suspension, a Borla catback, some gaudy stickers, and a gaudier interior aren't worth $15,000. Honestly, I love the guys at Shelby American, but they really need to dig deep and figure out what "Shelby" means.
Lincoln MKC concept: Did this design start with the grille? Maybe the conversation went something like this:
"Grille's done."
"Great. Where do we go from here?"
"All right…uh…hmm. Why don't we make it look like every other luxury crossover on the market?"
"Bingo! That grille and an indistinct design?"
"You know it. Let's get some coney dogs to celebrate."

Gates-gate finale?
Great piece from Frank Rich on the Gates-gate [1] from Sunday's NY Times. But I also think this commentator is right on the money [2]. Little noted the brouhaha is the fact that, yes, even white people can expect to face arrest or worse if they offer any lip to police during a traffic stop, street encounter, etc. Such "street justice" has been assumed by police and accepted by the public for generations. Our acceptance of same might be worth a rethink.

Dear Editor:
Despite Obama's war on Catholicism through his contraceptive mandate, Cardinal Dolan invited rabidly anti-Catholic, pro-abortion, pro-infanticide, and pro-gay "marriage" Obama to the Archdiocesan Al Smith Dinner.
Adding sacrilege to scandal, Cardinal Dolan also delivered the "benediction" at the Democratic Convention.
Like the National Socialists Final Solution regarding "non-Aryans," the official platform of the Democratic Party supports the mass murder of pre-born babies through legalized abortion.
In addition, Cardinal Dolan commented to National Review Online that both Ryan and Biden take their Catholic faith seriously, and allow it to influence the thinking in their public lives. Cardinal Dolan's hopelessly flawed moral equivalence between faithfully Catholic pro-life Ryan and staunchly pro-abortion apostate Biden is truly appalling.
However, 54 percent of "catholic" voters in 2008 abandoned their faith, and cast their ballots for Obama. This ongoing apostasy is not surprising when prelates such as Cardinal Dolan lend legitimacy to mortal enemies of the Catholic Church and to the partisans of unparalleled genocide against the innocent.

"Gender Relations in the Tales of Genji."
The essay provides a concise and accessible lesson on the background of society and characters in the Tales of Genji. It was certainly informative to me, and I feel as though I better understand the times and customs as a result.
I was surprised to learn that Tales of Genji is cause for shit storms in anime forums and academic circles alike; in brief, people either regard Genji as a considerate and tragic lover or a chauvinistic rapist. The author of the article above, as far as I can tell, tries to analyze the events of Genji based on the norms of Lady Murasaki's time.
Significantly, the author makes the point that a lady of good standing and upbringing could not by her own initiative accept a gentleman's sexual advances, since such a liaison carries many political consequences. Usually, the decision could only be made by direction from a superior authority, usually the lady's father. A problem that arises repeatedly in Genji is when the lady's father is dead, and the lady is reluctant or unable to make the decision whether to accept or not, even though she may be romantically inclined towards the suitor.

One, part of the joy of reading the Genji is to find oneself in such a different society. The only way to get the maximum benefit of that is to try to see things as people in those days would have seen them.
Two, I agree with the idea that the real center of the tale is the women in it, not Genji. He is the thread of the tale, but it is the stories of the women he encounters that give the tale its depth and flavour.
Three, using a word like "rape" to describe events in the book is useful for modern political activity, but violates the integrity of this ancient story. It is political commentary rather than literary criticism. Fair enough, but only one way of looking at things.
Four, Genji does coerce at least a couple of women, but in what seems to me and to Tyler to be a fairly humane way, under the circumstances of the time. The results for the women end up being pretty good, as they would not be either today or probably even in real life back then, as opposed to in this romantic tale. The mythical Genji never abandons a woman he has been with even once, and almost always seems to make their lives better than they might otherwise have been.
Five, from the point of view of pure popular literature and fantasy enjoyment, the amazing romantic encounters are certainly an important element of the appeal of the book, both to men and to women, despite or even because of the coercion. We don't just enjoy things that show society as it should be or people acting as we think they should. Literature is not social propaganda, but a voyage into the unconscious.
I'd also like to say that the first ten or so chapters of the novel contain most of the sexual encounters, but although they are the most famous chapters, the novel just gets better after that, and the last ten chapters, which are like a separate novel, are the best, dealing with the young lord Kaoru and the sisters at Uji (who are known as the "bridge princesses," or hashihime).
By the way, Cal-Reflector, the novel was written at the very end of the tenth century and beginning of the eleventh, so I think you could say it represents tenth century society. I'm not sure, but I think the title of the anime Genji Monogatari Sennenki means "Tale of Genji Thousandth Anniversary."
I visited the supposed tomb of the author, Lady Murasaki, in Kyoto a couple of years ago. It is just a small mound and a gravestone down a little alleyway opposite the Palace. You can go there and burn a stick of incense to her. Great experience.

Seeing how the anime has already elaborated so much on events barely referred to in the novel, I'm going to treat this show as it is on its own, ala Romeo and Juliet and Gankutsuou by Gonzo.
Therefore, my interest in the story so far is: Hot damn, boy. What're you going to do now??

I got to say this is very delicious. Like Kaoru Chujo said it's a tale from a different society entirely. Before watching this show, you just have to close your eyes, forget about everything you know, get rid of other thoughts. Then get yourself absorbed in to the play. I stil blushing from watching the first episode. >_<
ps. Pretty please put spoiler tag for the novels?

No society operates in a vacuum - and indeed, the man who was already having people build temples in his name across the parts of the islands not still under Ainu control would likely have had as much to say against such rigid societal stratification and problematic cultural norms as he did when speaking against the caste system which was all too prominent in the Ganges plain of his time... and which is, even now, the subject of fierce debate in modern times.
So long as our histories, cultural ideas and various heritages play a role in our development as a species, it's as fair to use a critical eye on the past as it is on the present - as we try to figure out what kind of world we want to see in the future.
(It was odd timing to read that post at the time I was watching Michael Wood's The Story of India documentary, at a point where he was discussing the theological debates held under the Mughal emperor Akbar, the efforts at bridging the gulf between Islam and Hinduism under Dara, and the long-reaching reactionary attitude of Aurangzeb - and he made the point "Can we judge the past by the standards of the 21st century? Should we judge our time by theirs?")
(As an aside, in the book accompanying that documentary, there was a mention of the mosque at Ayodhia, torn down by a mob of militant Hindus in 1992 - as a communal act of supposed retribution, since it was said that the mosque was built on the ancient birthplace of Ram, the deified hero of the Ramayana. Only, as it happens, the whole thing was a mass delusion - the archaeological team which was, ironically, funded by a Hindu nationalist government to 'prove the truth of the myth' instead proved that there had been no significant structure on the site prior to the medieval era. Quite sobering to think that the kind of tales and legends that might to some be isolated from the modern world can have - or rather, what happens when the worst, rather than the best, of our ancestors is drawn from for succour.)

But that's ignoring the fact that they considered women only worthy of attention when it came to procreation. That's why later in life all the philosophers, who could afford a longer lifespan due to the fact that they didn't have to work their asses off, turned their attention towards men.
Ancient Greek society was probably several times more misogynistic than Japan ever was.

I heard the same thing from a college lecture too, and the professor had the same idea as the students. No matter the era they were in, forcing themselves sexually was just a messed up thing, normally to get that all important attention. We see the same thing with a lot of romance novels nowadays as well. lots of wedlock situations, lots of rape, incest, all that stuff. When kings and leaders took it for granted, it's because they were in absolute seats of power. You call them for it and you're getting beheaded. And of course, that's not the same as the homosexual stuff that occurred consensually. That's a different issue altogether.
Also, all the crazy sexual adventures within family reminds me of many ancient mythologies. I guess the overall idea is the same. Put weird family connections and yet weirder morality on top. That basically is Genji in a nutshell.

Nice discussion. Just wait until we actually have more of the real story to discuss, lol.
And Nerroth, rape is still rape only if it's rape. The piece by Tyler wraps the events in a number of important subtleties. In some sense, a lot of marriage in the past was not much different from rape. Understanding the psychology of women in such a harrowing society is one of the interesting things about the Genji.
And WanderingKnight, the great ancient Greeks were, in my opinion, right enough for their time. Sure that society was ridiculously misogynistic, but not moreso than too many others, even today. It would be hard to go through history and find many societies that weren't. I was just trying to say that moral standards vary from society to society, and most can make a case for saying they are following the rule of not doing to others what they wouldn't want done to them, which is the only universal standard of morality I can think of.
Genji's society was as patriarchal as any other, but women in those days created Japanese literature. Men all wrote serious prose and poetry in Chinese, the way people in medieval Europe wrote in Latin. Almost all of that stuff is forgotten, but the diaries in Japanese of several women, and this novel, still remain among the greatest classics of Japanese literature. As do the short poems written in Japanese by men and women as a sort of social exchange, in poetry contests, or like text messages after a date.
In any case, morality is important, but we can't see every story as some kind of sermon, and reject all stories that contain events of which we would disapprove if they happened in our own time. I imagine our ideas will seem quaint or brutal in a few centuries from now, too.
Apologies for any novel spoilers in previous posts. I will try to restrain myself.

The ancient Greeks were notably stricter with their women than many of their neighbours - a point they, and the Romans, made pains to point out (and disparage) when they saw different gender relations among the likes of, for example, the Gauls and ancient Britons.
(Unfortunately, certain of their former neighbours, such as the Carthaginians, have lost much of their own voice, in terms of telling us about their own cultures - thanks to a certain group's 'activities'...)
And in the case of Heian-era Japan, again, the culture of the time (if there really was just one culture - one could argue that the city was rather different depending on whether you were stuck in one of those closed-off cho or not, even without referring to the various regional groups which would eventually shift the economic weight to what would become Osaka, the political prominence to Kamakura, and the demographic weight into a wider range of sites than had hitherto been the case) was neither static nor in isolation, not from its neighbours, nor from either its antecedents or its successors.
(There were Empresses in earlier times, and the first named leader in Yamataikoku in Chinese records was the priestess-queen Himiko - plus there is the matter of how the Ainu, who still held much of northern Honshu and Hokkaido at the time, did things.)
Ultimately, I would argue - again - that judging a work, any work, purely on the standards of the day is limited, as indeed would only referring to the present day as a contrast (although trying to plumb the highs and lows of human society over the last several thousand years is a lot for anyone to try and chew on...) but ultimately tie into certain concepts which could be argued to be common to all of humanity.
(While the example I made of Ayodhia was an extreme one, there are those who claim to look to certain eras and groups as paragons of virtue, which they would intend to see replicated in the present day - and we leave those kinds of questions unargued at our peril...)
Besides, it's not like we won't be judged in times to come - and how will they accept our failings and successes, and judge our place in the development of the species?

You do know how illicit couples were treated back in those days, even if there were royal blood involved, right? What's with those "rape was acceptable" ?
Spoiler for Novel:
And even if he does love his women, and MOST OF THE TIME, the women also do love him and willing to be in an adventure, wrong is wrong, despite the motive. That said, there were also time he acts like animal.
Just admit it. I know, we all know, the higher a man is in society, the more fuck up his relationship gets. It's true for the past. It's true for today, and may be even for the far future. But rape and incest would never become a right thing. Rapers never are great. Unless someday having sex replaces a handshake.

It has become a source of fascination/frustration for the red half of north London pretty much ever since they left Highbury; are the club's tight purse strings limiting their chances of silverware?
The Gunners have famously not won a trophy since 2005, meaning they haven't tasted success since they moved into their new home, the Emirates Stadium.
Arsene Wenger has constantly fallen back on the excuse that he is unable to compete financially with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City, which is undoubtedly true - but are they reluctant to go into the market and chance their arm? and Are the Gunners just not doing enough in the transfer market even though they have the resources?
Some interesting new figures shed some light on this area for Arsenal and their rivals at the top of the table.
GMF has stumbled on a set of figures which show net spend (outlay minus the money that has been recouped) in the transfer market since 2006/07. Now you can see if your club really is a buying or selling club.

Citizens who witnessed a hit-and-run accident Friday night at the Chetco River bridge were lauded by Brookings Police, who credited their actions in finding and arresting the suspect.
Police arrested Nicholas Loebs, 22, of Brookings, after a citizen followed his truck from the scene of the accident. Additional citizens called 911 to report a truck weaving "all over," and the driver was possibly intoxicated. Police will ask the District Attorney's office to charge Loebs with failing to perform the duties of a driver (hit-and-run), DUII and second degree assault.
According to Brookings Police Sgt. Terry Murray, Loebs was driving his 1989 Toyota pickup southbound on Highway 101 when he rear-ended a 1998 Dodge Neon with three people inside at the intersection of North Bank Chetco River Road. He then left the scene and fled to a hotel at the north end of Brookings, Murray said.
Some witnesses called police, others stayed with the victims and another followed Loebs at a safe distance while communicating the man's whereabouts to 911 dispatchers.
"They did well," Murray said. "That's how we basically caught this guy."
Loebs had a passenger in his vehicle, and Murray said the investigation could result in more arrests or charges.
Two of the three passengers in the other vehicle were transported to Sutter Coast Hospital in Crescent City where they were treated and released. The other declined medical treatment.
McCourt said it is unknown at what speed Loebs was traveling.
"It had to have been pretty significant after looking at the damage to the victim's vehicle," he said.
On Monday the continuing investigation revealed Loebs had in his truck items related to the burglary of a local business and other area thefts.

A Fire in the House: HIV/AIDS in the Deep South
March 20, 2012
I've never blogged before. Having been active in the fight against HIV/AIDS for the past 25+ years, I've seen plenty of life that is unfair, unjust, and painful. I grew up in a sense, in the AIDS epidemic. I began this work when I was in my 20's ... when my gay male friends starting getting sick, and dying. I did not understand what was happening around me. As more people became sick, and quickly died during the early years of AIDS in the US, I did know one thing -- I wanted to be able to tell my future children that I did something to help -- that I did not stand by while human beings died without a loving hand to hold, without hope, without respect. I wanted them to know that while some reacted with bigotry and hatred, so many stepped forward with a sense of community and a remarkable human spirit.
Since those early days, I have stayed in the field of HIV/AIDS. And in that time I have seen the epidemic change in so many ways. We have treatment options that make HIV/AIDS a chronic, manageable disease. Not easy, but with access to care and treatment, manageable. The populations most impacted have changed. Or more accurately, and more sadly, expanded. White, gay men were hit first (and continue to be), but now people of color living in poverty are the forefront of those disproportionately impacted. The African American community is at the epicenter of the epidemic, with a particularly devastating impact on men who have sex with men (MSM), and women.
Many of us who have worked in this field long-term have grown accustomed to fewer deaths and a system of care that was built as a result of activism, spurred by the stigma, homophobia, and lack of mediations that killed so many HIV-positive Americans in the beginning. The creation of the Ryan White Care Act, the formalization of support services that grew out of grassroots efforts to care for the dying, and the availability of life-saving medications have all fundamentally changed what was once widely considered by much of the general public, a top tier public health crisis.
Don't get me wrong -- there have always been unmet needs and deep injustices toward people living with HIV/AIDS in the US, but it is fair to say that overall, things got better in the late 1990's.
And then I went to Alabama. I went as part of a small delegation of private sector funders to see the impact of HIV on the region, and to learn more about the innovative responses to epidemic that our grantees and stakeholderse have developed with AIDS United support.
I have known for some time that the South is the home of disproportionate HIV infections, poverty, lack of access to care, stigma, and poor health outcomes. Somehow though, in more than 25 years of working in HIV, I had managed to miss a visit to Alabama. It is hard to put into words what this trip, and the people I met and listened to, has meant to me. I have come away with a renewed sense of urgency in my work, because what I have seen and heard is far too reminiscent of my early days in this fight. The fear that many people in the South living with HIV/AIDS have at the possibility of others finding out about there HIV status, is palpable. Disclosures have resulted for many in the loss of employment, the severing of relationships by friends and family, and a spiral into substance use, deeper poverty and marginalization.
I was initially shocked at the difficulty we had finding HIV-positive Alabamians to talk with our group about living with HIV in the South, but it became abundantly clear that stigma and its dangerous ripple effects, are simply intolerable for people living with HIV in the South, in addition to dealing with poverty and racism.
HIV's ravaging of the Deep South represents a fire in our collective house in the United States. The HIV/AIDS epidemic there is comparable with many of the countries that we assist in our global response to it. This is unacceptable, and presents a pivotal opportunity for those among us who believe in righting historical wrongs. Our first evening on the Alabama trip began in the Civil Rights Memorial Center, in Montgomery, Alabama. Walking through this space, and seeing the powerful images of the historical fight against injustice, it was clear that the current day fight against HIV/AIDS stigma and resource deprivation in the South is part of the same march for human rights.
The HIV/AIDS epidemic in the South cannot be seen as an isolated reality, separate from the larger civil and human rights movement. Poverty, racism, and ignorance fuel the HIV/AIDS epidemic in South and beyond. If we have learned anything from those who went before us, those who put their lives on the line for justice and human rights, it is that change will not come easily. Do we sit by while an entire population of Americans living in the Deep South face an epidemic proportional to that in developing countries? Do we demand that federal resources be allocated in a way that is reflective of the Southern reality? Do we host an International AIDS Conference in Washington DC this July, and not acknowledge that there is a fire in our own home?
For the first time in years, I feel a fire in my belly. It is a message that I cannot ignore. Many years ago, I promised myself that I would be able to tell my children that I did the right thing. So I joined the fight. I now know that the fight looks different. And though it may not be the neighbor I know that is dying, it is still my neighbor, my community member, my fellow American. It is time to stop the complacency, to step out of the comfort zone we have settled into in the US -- there is a fire in our house. Will you join the fight this time? Will you someday be able to tell your children, your nieces and nephews, your grandchildren, that you did something to stop injustice and inequality? It is time to step up, and right another wrong. Let's put this fire out.

Hi all,
I have a strange issue with my media queries for a website not working for the ipad. What I have done is the mobile first approach and then set widths where the css changes. The final media query is for ipad landscape up. However the ipad is not picking up the last set of styles for devices of min-width 900px;
Here are my media queries:
All styles then
@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) {}
@media only screen and (min-width: 600px) {}
@media all and (min-width: 900px) {}
Anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?
Thank you
Apparently, after looking it up, the iPad landscape width is around 1024px, so a min width of 900px isn't high enough.

The narrative implied that "everyone else" means Rudolf, Krauss, Jessica, a few others I can't remember, and, as we are led to believe, Kanon. Because the red didn't name each of them it was possible for Kanon to "escape", since "he" was never there to begin with, at least not as a human being in a world without magic. Due to the imprecise nature of this red, one person that we thought was included in the red statement... wasn't.
The red for 'the six that were killed' doesn't name each of them, but by the narrative we assume that it's about Kyrie, Rudolf, Krauss, Natsuhi, Eva, Hideyoshi. With a heavy load (!) of assumptions (which are ultimately all bullshit anyway considering that it's not an intended answer) we can construct Kinzo as the sixth, therefore the red is not accounting for the "seventh" person. Due to the imprecise nature of this red one person can be added to the situation, enabling a person that we thought was included in red the statement to "escape" the red-proclaimed death (without going all meta).
At least I think that it's a similar mechanism. Or it would be one, if the latter had been used.
Of course I agree with the various notions that speak against the true-Kyrie-fake-Shkanon-culprit. Although it is an amusing thought, having Shkanon run around to stake the bodies that Kyrie left behind (Benny Hill-style; though Shkanon got lazy in EP3 and 4) to force Battler into believing a witch did it, so he can reject the notion of witches EXISTing in general to their 'epic' battle of incompetence vs. ahaha.wav ... alright alright, let's go with the intended answer again - enough fooling around.
Sometimes I get the feeling that Ryukishi scrapping Land was the first step to what some call the general derailment of Chiru (personally I still liked it overall but ... we all know the general reactions to it). Hopefully he won't have any mercy with his readers next time he writes a When They Cry (assuming he does).

While they can be one and the same that's not necessary true and Ryukishi might have recycled the name for amusement purpose.
Let's now assume that there was a message in the bottle that matched with 'Land' (would it be titled as such or the names of the messages in the bottles were given later?).
As only 2 were found this third message supposedly got lost confirming Beato's words in Twilight.
This means no forger would know about it therefore if a forgery mentions 'Land' then it's merely due to a casuality.
Now, we've 'Land' mentioned in the meta of Twilight and in the magic scene of Forgery No XXX (we've a PieceBattler who can be moved on Rokkenjima by the witches).
Forgery No XXX doesn't seem to be written by Toya so if the author refers, in the magic scene to a tale called 'Land', he's either making the name up or taking it from someone else's forgery. Not from a message in the bottle. This means 'Forgery No XXX' might not contain info about the real 'Land' but about... someone else's Land.
Now, Twilight is written by Toya. and the 'Land' mentioning supposedly happens in the meta.
If the meta was Toya's creation could Toya know about the true 'Land'? Well, it's easy to assume he figured out or was told there were more than 2 tales so he could have named one of the tales that were never found 'Land'. Yasu might have given him some details about it but, if the tale was tossed in the sea, Battler/Toya never read it so we can't say how much he knows of that tale (and after all we don't even know how he spent those days on Rokkenjima and how much time Yasu had to tell him everything about herself that's used for writing EP 7 as well as 'Land').
If the meta is Ange's creation it's hard to picture Ange might know something about 'Land' and 'Land' serves just as the name for a lost tale.
There's also something interesting to consider. If the original 'Land' was supposed to be... let's call it the story in place of 'Banquet', was it supposed to be a message in the bottle or a forgery? Because 'Banquet' is a forgery.
Now... Our Confession. In Our confession there's basically no mention of Battler whatsoever as an acting/present character. It's as if Battler's action/reactions would be written later. Due to this we can't know if he'll ever be suspected like it happened in Ep 2. All we can say is that the plot presented doesn't seem to require him as an accomplice.
(Actually we've such a serious lack of Battler I can even suspect he slept hrough the whole thing... -_-)
Vergilius, for all we know, might have been a meta only character, let's say like a third witch/wizard, and there's not much meta in the story.
Our confession as a mystery is rather easy because there's no mystery at all. We're told immediately what's going on, we aren't left to suspect that our theory is wrong. In addition we've a lot of knowledge we didn't have previously.
The chain closed room isn't a problem for anyone anymore, nor would be Shannon's disappearance and suicide. We also knew the servants were accomplices.
We don't even consider another theory beside Yasu did it, while in other episodes we could suspect about Eva or Kyrie.
Maybe, if Our confession had been presented to us earlier and in the same format as the other games we might have found it difficult. As it is to use Ryukishi's words:
This doesn't mean he couldn't have changed his mind or recycled Land's plot for this sidestory. After all here he doesn't have the problem to hide the answer as he reveals it.
In a way it's an interesting way to deal with the problem. This way he doesn't have to try to hide the answer.
And anyway I'm not saying 'Our Confession' is 'Land'. Just that there's the possibility its mystery and Land's will match but why to create a completely new mystery that has to be anyway exposed fully to the readers when there was already one available in Land?
Anyway, as Land's story was closed in a catbox after all, we'll never know the truth.

Well according to Ryukishi, the tricks for land seem to have been divided between EP4~6. I wonder if things like Battler not being Asumu's Child in EP4, the Battler culprit theory in EP5 and the Detective becoming the Culprit in EP6 were key things of Land. Come to think of it, EP5 and EP6 really like to make Battler seem like the culprit. Maybe the ending where Beatrice saves Battler was due to something like the Logic Error situation.

Something to note though is that it takes place on the 6th... unless I made a mistake? I recently read it and I'm fairly sure it takes place on the 6th though. I noticed that R07 goes out of his way to put in Battler's narrative that he looked at the remaining half of Shannon's face, and recognized it to be "her" when logically it has to be a fake corpse as Yasu met with Battler. I'm thinking that either it never occurred because it's impossible for someone to be alive on the 6th, and R07 used the entire Episode 4 Battler Island Investigation scene as a red herring to be able to put falsehoods into Battler's detective perspective (because he wasn't alive during the stated time-frame), or that he (Battler) was simply fatigued or not in a state where he could reason well and made a mistake as I don't believe he slept during the 5th, and everyone was dead by the night of the 4th when he met Yasu in front of the mansion.
I just found that moment particularly peculiar, because Battler was alone, went up to the corpse, and essentially said "Yes. This is her". Makes me wonder what R07's intentions of it were at the time when also considering this supposedly takes place on the 6th.

And right now, there is no one other than you on this island. The only one alive on this island is you. Nothing outside the island can interfere.
Even though people have found a way to weasel their way out of some truths, this one is pretty solid. Yasu is dead. Besides Ryukishi stated in his interview that Yasu just used a gun trick by the well to disguise the suicide.

This laps of time could be used to carry out things, its rather risky in that Battler could find out but its still possible.

He spoke to Beatrice at midnight on the 4th, and he thought everyone was dead by that time, but he didn't actually find Shannon's corpse until much later.

Battler specifically says this, too. He mentions exactly what he'd been doing up to that point.
According to his narration, after meeting Beatrice and going to the chapel to find the key, he went inside and found everyone in the dining room. At this point he apparently became pretty paranoid and seemingly ran around in a panic looking for the killer and/or possibly sleeping until about 6 AM, when he began searching for other bodies. It was only at this point that he found Jessica, Kyrie, and the people outside (including Shannon). Technically speaking, anyone other than George and the people in the dining room could've been alive after midnight, so long as they died before about 6-7 AM on the 5th.
What exactly Battler was doing from noon of the 5th to midnight I'm not sure. He seems to have given up looking for the killer, and there aren't any more bodies to find... guess he just got depressed and started drinking, or maybe passed out for a while.

e-Talking about the manga. There is a slight difference with that scene in that manga compared to the VN. In the VN, Battler does spot Maria before running out in rage. The game even does the sound effect when someone's alive or dead status changes. In the manga, Battler only spots the 6 adults and rushes out after crying a bit on his fathers corpse. Its only when he comes back that he spots Maria's corpse.

I understand that Yasu committed suicide (because of Battler), but why would he/she go and do it as Shannon? The story typically implies that, each game, Yasu kills off that personality inside him/her before or by the end of the murders. The fantasy narration also implies that Shannon was "killed off" before Battler even met with Yasu. R07 generally writes fantasy scenes to not be blatantly false, but to be metaphorical, so it kind of implies that when Kyrie and Krauss' group were hunted down she also killed Kanon and Shannon inside of his/her mind. If so why would Yasu "revive" Shannon only to suicide as her? Also if Yasu is allowed to revive Kanon or Shannon on whim then wouldn't that take away from the image of what the red truth represents? The whole explanation for meta Beatrice being able to confirm their deaths in red each game is, to my understanding, the idea of personality deaths; Yasu being able to revive them on whim after killing them would severely undermine this. If she committed suicide because of Battler after the murders then I imagine he/she'd do it in Kinzo's study or something. If Yasu committed suicide as Shannon because Battler's promise to Shannon in the past (if she did it because of this it implies that she's trying to make a statement) then that's kind of contradictory with her doing it in one of the least visible places on the island that a normal person wouldn't normally walk through.
Also if Yasu did suicide as Shannon after everything occurred, then why would it be consistent with the earlier fantasy narrative? Assuming the earlier fantasy scene of Shannon's death was an abnormality (all other occasions fantasy scenes are metaphorical and still occurred in some way) and it didn't occur then why does Shannon's "after the fact" suicide coincidentally match it?
If it's to "get back" as Battler then suiciding as Shannon (and making all bodies accounted for) only says to piece-Battler that a "19th" person exists and puts him at relative ease in regards to his complex over suspecting his friends or family.
And if it was to make a statement, IE: "You baka, you didn't remember our promise, so I will now die in the form of the person you made the promise to" then Yasu suiciding in a location that someone would likely never walk by is contradictory to this.

The manga put much more emphasis on the pain he felt seeing his father dead.
But yes, from a mystery perspective the change is interesting because it leaves open the possibility Maria was killed later, though at the same time it could be she was merely out of Battler's sight the first time he entered in that room (one time he entered from one side of the room and the other he entered from the opposite one).
It'll be hard to think the witch of Rokkenjima, who supposedly killed Shannon already, would murder everyone, Shannon included, because he didn't keep his word about coming back, expecially because Shannon didn't seem to have problems with it as she had found another boyfriend and is about to marry him and all after a rant which basically said that, since he was an Ushiromiya, even if his father cheated on his mother (basically breaking the promise to stay faithful to her), he should have stayed an Ushiromiya.
Not mentioning that Beato purposely said things/let him believe things that were misleading and tried to trick him. One surely wouldn't expect her to preach the importance of keeping promises to someone apparently unrelated to her and whom she had no qualm to kill, trick, make fun of and consider forniture.
After all it's suspicious how Kanon's body goes missing in two episodes but it would be even more suspicious if Shannon were to go missing as well.
Plus, killing herself while in Shannon's clothes free her from the problem of hiding her own corpse.
If Battler were to find it and recognize it as Shannon's in Beato's clothes he would get the truth.
If she were to fake being dead waiting for the bomb, once all the accomplices/adults are killed there's after all the likehood that Battler, as he did in EP 4, would check again the corpses and discover she was faking.

Who was the 5th one again?Anyway wasn't the key to the chapel in the 5th room or did I get something wrong here?
As in:
Chapel - needs key from room 5 - that requires the key from room 4 - etc.

Also I went back and reread the discovery scene and found some interesting things. First Krauss states that he didn't hear anything coming from Kinzo's room. Krauss knows Kinzo is dead but he was trying to keep up the appearance of him being alive so Krauss more likely than not would have lied about this saying he heard Kinzo. Another thing though is in order for Yasu's closed room to work the Parlor has to be the first room checked and interestingly enough Krauss suggests they check the Parlor first.
So I think Krauss is an Accomplice in EP3

Also, chapel was unlocked the whole time till that moment if that theory is true. If I recall correctly EP2 also had the chapel unlocked for the whole Halloween trick to work, right?

Either that, or the Halloween trick. But I don't think it ever mentioned who opened the door to the chapel, so I'd prefer not to think that's how it was done... Really, the whole linked closed room is wide open if you start suspecting the discoverers. All needed is one accomplice anywhere to plant a single key or envelope, or just to lie and say one certain door or window was locked when it wasn't.
Though Krauss saying that Kinzo didn't seem to be in his room was suspiciously convenient for him and Natsuhi. Imagine if he said he had spoken to Kinzo, and then a few minutes later they found the corpse in the boiler room...
