Trek Fish Car Emblem
A Chrome Fish with Warp Nacelles? Yesss!
Whether you call yourself a Trekker or a Trekkie, you practically worship at the Altar of Roddenberry, so as you drive to work, why not let everybody know that, even though your car is your normal mode of transportation, your other vehicle is a starship!
There are Trekkers and then there are Trekkies. The only difference being Trekkers are ashamed of the reputation that comes with being a Star Trek fan. So much so, in fact, they've shunned the word "Trekkie" as somehow being derogatory. See, we believe that we should own the word. There's nothing wrong with being a Trekkie, so might as well say it loudly and proudly! Shout it from the rooftops! Wear your Expendable shirt with pride! Make your fandom known even when you're driving!
We Trekkies (own it!) practically worship at the Altar of Roddenberry, so we wake every morning thinking about the intricacies of temporal mechanics, stub our toes and curse in perfect tlhinghan Hol, drink steaming mugs of raktajino, and drive to work lamenting the Warp 5 galactic speed limit. No doubt about it, we're Trekkies (I SAID OWN IT)!
It is with that in mind that we humbly offer these chromed plastic Trek fish for your car. Boldly go and proclaim your love for all things Trek. Lament that your car doesn't have an anti-matter warp core, or is armed with photon torpedoes! Show everyone you know, everywhere you go, that infinite diversity in infinite combinations is your prime directive! Ok, maybe that was a stretch, but still - there's nothing like being a Trekkie (shakes fist - ownnn iiiiiit...) and having a Trek Fish Car Emblem shining proudly on your vehicle.

The USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service today confirmed the presence of soybean rust on soybean leaf samples taken November 6 from two plots associated with a Louisiana State University research farm.
With harvest now complete, it is unknown whether the disease will be found again next season or in any other U.S regions. However, the find increases concern about the potential damage the disease could cause. Rust can spread via airborne spores and has the potential to spread to other U.S. soybean-growing areas.
Although scientists believe that rust cannot survive freezing temperatures, they fear that if rust becomes established in southern U.S. states, the spores could ride seasonal Gulf winds deep into the Midwest. Disease severity each year could vary substantially according to wind patterns, host susceptibility and humid weather that favors disease development. Fungicides can limit yield loss if the disease is discovered in its early stages.
In Brazil, government officials estimate that soybean rust caused $2 billion in losses for farmers and contributed to a drop in Brazil's 2003–2004 soybean harvest to 49.8 million tons from an expected 58 million tons.
For more information, including soybean rust alerts, scouting and Section 18 fungicides, visit the following resource link: farmindustrynews.com/special_reports/Soybean-Rust-060904.

1972 Chevy Blazer - The Trail BlazerPosted in Project Vehicles on October 1, 2011
Mike Aros of Henderson, Nevada, always wanted a '72 Chevy Blazer, so when he had the chance to purchase one in 2005, he jumped on the opportunity. And so began a three-year wrenchfest that transformed the classic rig into this capable, trail-savvy machine.
Aros, a line mechanic, is no stranger to four-wheel drive, and his motto is "4x or die." In the early '80s he purchased an '82 Toyota pickup, which he proudly owned until it was stolen a year later. In '93, he purchased a 327ci-powered '71 Land Cruiser, which he owned for about 12 years. Throughout his years of wheeling in places like Southern California and throughout Nevada, he acquired hands-on knowledge about what works and what doesn't, and he integrated some of what he learned into the driveway buildup of his '72 Blazer. Yep, we said "driveway": "This 4x4 was built in my driveway, almost exclusively by myself. I did have some help with the transmission and transfer case install. The rest was a solo operation," Aros says.
So how does the finished product work? "I wanted this Blazer to work well in rocks and hills, and it does well. All 1-ton axles, lockers, and the 5:1 low-range in the Atlas lets me crawl very well," he notes. We saw the Blazer in action at last year's Hump 'N Bump event in Logandale, Nevada, and we'll concur that the Blazer is indeed a very capable machine.
And that, is a job well done.

Hi guys,
I'm Ben from Singapore. I just bought a used Cyclone S and I can't keep it sliding. It always spins out. I have tried 50/50 drifting few years back but this is my first time trying CS. I don't know what kind of set up the car is in, all I know is it has been CS-ed, unknown ratio, front one way, rear locked ball diffs, front stiff and rear soft suspension set up with camber on all wheels and powered by a brushless motor system. Hope to learn more from you guys.

YaleHOME SHOW
Great Chefs. Great Demos.
Great Deals.
Bosch redefined the dishwasher business forever in 1990. They were quiet, water efficient and surprisingly affordable. Bosch now operates the largest dishwasher manufacturing facility in the world in North Carolina.
Bosch is a subsidiary of the giant Robert Bosch company based out of Germany. Thermador is their sister brand.
In 25 years, Bosch has evolved from just dishwashers to manufacturing a full suite of stylish products from cooktops, wall ovens, slide-in ranges to refrigeration. Their new Benchmark line has a commercial look for far less money than super premium brands like Miele, Wolf and Jenn-Air.
However, Bosch does not produce the mid level stoves and refrigerators. In 2016, Frigidaire stopped supplying Bosch cooking products, and this eliminated many of their popular inexpensive packages.
However if you are looking for stylish appliances for less money than Bosch should definitely be a consideration.
So, you are buying a full suite of appliances for your kitchen. It is not easy researching each unit, but there may be a better way. Consider buying the brand. This strategy works because all your appliances will match.
If you are in the market for a dishwasher, KitchenAid and Bosch will definitely be one of your considerations. Along with Miele, these two brands are synonymous with premium products. KitchenAid has become quieter like Bosch. Bosch has added capacity to be more like KitchenAid.
For many people looking for the best dishwasher available, Bosch vs Miele becomes the consideration. There are many similarities. Both are very quiet with stainless steel tubs and are German owned. From a corporate structure to the actual dishwasher itself, however, Bosch and Miele could not be more different.
Compact Laundry is a great alternative here in the city, or anywhere there's a tight space. Typically these units are 24 inches wide by about 24 inches deep, so they could fit in a kitchen cabinet. Usually they are stacked, maybe in a closet, or in a narrow hallway.
Jenn-Air and Bosch have a new slide-in range. They both use a hybrid type design which in fact is part slide-in range part and part freestanding range. We will explain the differences of freestanding vs. slide-in vs. this new hybrid range as well as both companies and then both products.
Steam cooking seems to be garnering a bunch of attention lately. Appliance manufacturers are following suit, as more of them have introduced steam ovens to their appliance line.Bosch, Jenn-Air, Miele, Smeg, Thermador and Wolf have recently launched new products joining the German brand, Gaggenau.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Kentucky is coming to Lipscomb from more than one direction.
Friday afternoon at 6 p.m., Western Kentucky visit the Whitworth Racquet Club to face the Lady Bisons and at 7 p.m., the Bisons face the Hilltoppers at Richland Country Club. Saturday afternoon at 5 Northern Kentucky visits to play Atlantic Sun matches against the Bisons and Lady Bisons.
"The Kentucky Fling is coming to Nashville," LU coach Andrew Harris said. "We will see how all this lines up."
After losing a pair of A-Sun matches at Florida Gulf Coast and Stetson last weekend, Harris would like to see his team rebound. Western Kentucky is 3-8 heading into the match.
"Tennis is a funny sport," Harris said. "It can be one thing one day and another thing the next.
"The thing we continue to impress on the guys is a consistent mentality every day. The mindset cannot be up and down."
The Bisons finshed fourth in the A-Sun last season. They would like to equal or beat that finish this season.
"To really go far in the tournament and finish in the upper half of this league there is no margin for off days," Harris said. "We have three seniors. The last thing we should be worried about is not being conistent mentally day in and day out."
The three seniors are Oliver Strecker, Colby Shaw and Tanner Brown.
"We had beaten Florida Gulf Coast three years in a row," Harris said. "We were playing them in the first conference road match which is always a different kind of scenario.
"We knew it was going to be a battle. But to have a 6-1 outcome reaffirms why we are talking about having a consistent mentality. That was not a conistent mentality."
At Stetson two days later the Bisons lost 4-3.
"We are looking for the same mentality we had at Stetson, not what we saw at Gulf Coast," Harris said. "Oliver is going to have to carry us on the court."
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Kentucky is coming to Lipscomb from more than one direction.

21 During the reign of David, there was a famine for three successive years; so David sought the face of the Lord. The Lord said, "It is on account of Saul and his blood-stained house; it is because he put the Gibeonites to death."
2 The king summoned the Gibeonites and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not a part of Israel but were survivors of the Amorites; the Israelites had sworn to spare them, but Saul in his zeal for Israel and Judah had tried to annihilate them.) 3 David asked the Gibeonites, "What shall I do for you? How shall I make atonement so that you will bless the Lord's inheritance?"
4 The Gibeonites answered him, "We have no right to demand silver or gold from Saul or his family, nor do we have the right to put anyone in Israel to death."
"What do you want me to do for you?" David asked.
5 They answered the king, "As for the man who destroyed us and plotted against us so that we have been decimated and have no place anywhere in Israel, 6 let seven of his male descendants be given to us to be killed and their bodies exposed before the Lord at Gibeah of Saul—the Lord's chosen one."
So the king said, "I will give them to you."
7 The king spared Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the oath before the Lord between David and Jonathan son of Saul. 8 But the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons of Aiah's daughter Rizpah, whom she had borne to Saul, together with the five sons of Saul's daughter Merab,[a] whom she had borne to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite. 9 He handed them over to the Gibeonites, who killed them and exposed their bodies on a hill before the Lord. All seven of them fell together; they were put to death during the first days of the harvest, just as the barley harvest was beginning.
10 Rizpah daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it out for herself on a rock. From the beginning of the harvest till the rain poured down from the heavens on the bodies, she did not let the birds touch them by day or the wild animals by night. 11 When David was told what Aiah's daughter Rizpah, Saul's concubine, had done, 12 he went and took the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from the citizens of Jabesh Gilead. (They had stolen their bodies from the public square at Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hung them after they struck Saul down on Gilboa.) 13 David brought the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from there, and the bones of those who had been killed and exposed were gathered up.
14 They buried the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in the tomb of Saul's father Kish, at Zela in Benjamin, and did everything the king commanded. After that, God answered prayer in behalf of the land.
15 Once again there was a battle between the Philistines and Israel. David went down with his men to fight against the Philistines, and he became exhausted. 16 And Ishbi-Benob, one of the descendants of Rapha, whose bronze spearhead weighed three hundred shekels[b] and who was armed with a new sword, said he would kill David. 17 But Abishai son of Zeruiah came to David's rescue; he struck the Philistine down and killed him. Then David's men swore to him, saying, "Never again will you go out with us to battle, so that the lamp of Israel will not be extinguished."
18 In the course of time, there was another battle with the Philistines, at Gob. At that time Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Saph, one of the descendants of Rapha.
19 In another battle with the Philistines at Gob, Elhanan son of Jair[c] the Bethlehemite killed the brother of[d] Goliath the Gittite, who had a spear with a shaft like a weaver's rod.
20 In still another battle, which took place at Gath, there was a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He also was descended from Rapha. 21 When he taunted Israel, Jonathan son of Shimeah, David's brother, killed him.
22 These four were descendants of Rapha in Gath, and they fell at the hands of David and his men.
22 David sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. 2 He said:
"The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
3 my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield[e] and the horn[f] of my salvation.
He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior—
from violent people you save me.
4 "I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,
and have been saved from my enemies.
5 The waves of death swirled about me;
the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.
6 The cords of the grave coiled around me;
the snares of death confronted me.
7 "In my distress I called to the Lord;
I called out to my God.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry came to his ears.
8 The earth trembled and quaked,
the foundations of the heavens[g] shook;
they trembled because he was angry.
9 Smoke rose from his nostrils;
consuming fire came from his mouth,
burning coals blazed out of it.
10 He parted the heavens and came down;
dark clouds were under his feet.
11 He mounted the cherubim and flew;
he soared[h] on the wings of the wind.
12 He made darkness his canopy around him—
the dark[i] rain clouds of the sky.
13 Out of the brightness of his presence
bolts of lightning blazed forth.
14 The Lord thundered from heaven;
the voice of the Most High resounded.
15 He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy,
with great bolts of lightning he routed them.
16 The valleys of the sea were exposed
and the foundations of the earth laid bare
at the rebuke of the Lord,
at the blast of breath from his nostrils.
17 "He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
he drew me out of deep waters.
18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support.
20 He brought me out into a spacious place;
he rescued me because he delighted in me.
21 "The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness;
according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.
22 For I have kept the ways of the Lord;
I am not guilty of turning from my God.
23 All his laws are before me;
I have not turned away from his decrees.
24 I have been blameless before him
and have kept myself from sin.
25 The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
according to my cleanness[j] in his sight.
26 "To the faithful you show yourself faithful,
to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
27 to the pure you show yourself pure,
but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.
28 You save the humble,
but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them low.
29 You, Lord, are my lamp;
the Lord turns my darkness into light.
30 With your help I can advance against a troop[k];
with my God I can scale a wall.
31 "As for God, his way is perfect:
The Lord's word is flawless;
he shields all who take refuge in him.
32 For who is God besides the Lord?
And who is the Rock except our God?
33 It is God who arms me with strength[l]
and keeps my way secure.
34 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
he causes me to stand on the heights.
35 He trains my hands for battle;
my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
36 You make your saving help my shield;
your help has made[m] me great.
37 You provide a broad path for my feet,
so that my ankles do not give way.
38 "I pursued my enemies and crushed them;
I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
39 I crushed them completely, and they could not rise;
they fell beneath my feet.
40 You armed me with strength for battle;
you humbled my adversaries before me.
41 You made my enemies turn their backs in flight,
and I destroyed my foes.
42 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them—
to the Lord, but he did not answer.
43 I beat them as fine as the dust of the earth;
I pounded and trampled them like mud in the streets.
44 "You have delivered me from the attacks of the peoples;
you have preserved me as the head of nations.
People I did not know now serve me,
45 foreigners cower before me;
as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
46 They all lose heart;
they come trembling[n] from their strongholds.
47 "The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock!
Exalted be my God, the Rock, my Savior!
48 He is the God who avenges me,
who puts the nations under me,
49 who sets me free from my enemies.
You exalted me above my foes;
from a violent man you rescued me.
50 Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing the praises of your name.
51 "He gives his king great victories;
he shows unfailing kindness to his anointed,
to David and his descendants forever."
24 Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God! 25 Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God."
26 Those who heard this asked, "Who then can be saved?"
27 Jesus replied, "What is impossible with man is possible with God."
28 Peter said to him, "We have left all we had to follow you!"
29 "Truly I tell you," Jesus said to them, "no one who has left home or wife or brothers or sisters or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God 30 will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and in the age to come eternal life."
31 Jesus took the Twelve aside and told them, "We are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled. 32 He will be delivered over to the Gentiles. They will mock him, insult him and spit on him; 33 they will flog him and kill him. On the third day he will rise again."
34 The disciples did not understand any of this. Its meaning was hidden from them, and they did not know what he was talking about.
35 As Jesus approached Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. 36 When he heard the crowd going by, he asked what was happening. 37 They told him, "Jesus of Nazareth is passing by."
38 He called out, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"
39 Those who led the way rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
40 Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When he came near, Jesus asked him, 41 "What do you want me to do for you?"
"Lord, I want to see," he replied.
42 Jesus said to him, "Receive your sight; your faith has healed you." 43 Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus, praising God. When all the people saw it, they also praised God.

FT. MEYERS, Fla. (Dec. 2, 2011) – Coming off a heartbreaking loss to Stetson in the conference opener on Thursday afternoon, the ETSU women's basketball team continues its stint in the Sunshine state when the Lady Bucs take on league-leading Florida Gulf Coast on Saturday night. Tip is set for 7:30 p.m. inside Alico Arena.
ETSU has dropped seven straight games to start the season, marking the longest stretch to start a season since at least the 1968-69 season, while the last time a Lady Buccaneer team lost eight straight was in 1991-92.
The Lady Bucs are coming off an emotional loss to the Hatters where ETSU trailed by as many as 15 points and came back to tie the game twice late in the game. However, the Blue and Gold couldn't get over the hump as Stetson closed out the final two minutes on a 9-3 run to take the A-Sun opener, 68-60.
Senior guard Tarita Gordon (Wichita, Kan.) broke out of a shooting slump by scoring a team-high 20 points and dishing out four assists on Thursday afternoon, while fellow senior Natalie Pickwell (Kingsport, Tenn.) added 11 points and a career-tying nine rebounds. Meanwhile, a few underclassmen stepped up as sophomore Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.) and freshman Cara Bowling (Elizabethton, Tenn.) provided a spark. Mitchell finished with 12 points, eight rebounds, and three assists, and Bowling – who didn't register any points – stepped up on the defensive end as she forced a season-high five steals in 12 minutes of work.
FGCU – who is now eligible for A-Sun postseason play for the first time since joining the league – was picked to win the league by both the coaches and media, and currently sits 4-1 on the young season. The reigning A-Sun regular season champions are also ranked eighth in the latest CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25 poll.
The Eagles are coming off a lop-sided 106-27 win over NAIA foe, Webber International, on Monday night. FGCU tied a NCAA record with 21 threes, while every Eagle player who played reached the scoring column. Four players scored in double figures as Amber Rechis netted a game-high 26 points on 6-of-11 shooting from beyond the arc and highly touted freshman, Whitney Knight, finished with 20 points, 15 rebounds, eight assists, six blocks, and two steals in 26 minutes off the bench.
FGCU has won the last three games in the series and lead the all-time series, 5-2. The last win for the Lady Bucs in the short-lived rivalry was an 88-83 victory back on Jan. 16, 2010 in Johnson City. ETSU also owns a win on the Eagles' home court as the Lady Bucs knocked off FGCU inside "The Nest," 75-67, giving coach Karen Kemp her 200th victory. Last season – despite not having Mitchell – the Lady Bucs let one get away at home as FGCU rallied for a seven-point victory, 77-70. The Eagles capped off the sweep with an 81-65 win in front of 2,921 fans inside Alico Arena.
Fans unable to make the trip to Florida can listen to all the action on WXSM-AM 640 The Extreme Sports Monster as "Voice of the Lady Bucs" John Stevens will have the call at 7:30 p.m. The game will also be aired live on ASun.TV, while live stats will be available by visiting FGCUAthletics.com. Twitter updates will also be provided via @ETSUAthletics.

- 2 Tbsp. oil
- 1 large green pepper finely chopped
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 1 clove largegarlic minced
- ½ tsp. oregano
- 2 pkgs. taco seasoning or 4 Tbsp. Wildtree taco seasoning
- 2 cups dried lentils
- 4 cups water
- In a heavy bottomed 3 qt. saucepan, sauté green pepper and onion in oil until soft.
- Add oregano and garlic, stir.
- Add taco seasoning, lentils and water. Bring to boil.
- Cover and simmer on low for approx. 30 min. (add a little water as it simmers if needed, but be careful not to add too much).
- When beans are soft, your filling is ready to assemble your tacos.
- Serve as you would any tacos with all the fixings, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, cheese. Be sure to include guacamole or sliced avocados. . .so good with lentils!
- We used soft wheat tortillas, but would be good in crispy corn shells or tostadas too.
Terri's Notes
~ This is wonderful! A family-filling, meatless, delicious, serve to company and savor leftovers kind of dish you will immediately put on your list of favorites!
~ I'm not hiding the veggies from little ones anymore and coarsely chopped my veggies.
~ Because I used the 2 packets of taco seasoning and it tends to thicken the sauce, I waited to add the seasoning packs until the last 10 minutes and ended up adding a total of 1 extra cup of water. The trick is to check it every ten minutes so it doesn't scorch or get dry and just add the water a bit at a time.

And to all the people complaining about the eeeww icky BL overtone ( seriously, guys) and feeling too threatened to continue watching: look, there are three main female characters in the show, right? One is a cute little gothloli who sticks with the big "bad" Red King as a Cute Item of sorts. The other wears a barely-there mini skirt and shows off her T&A in the OP (with added boob jiggle). And the third one is the resident Fanservice Queen who is shown naked twice, with the camera lingering on her, let's just say, groin area. So... what is the problem? This show has eyecandy for everyone.

Ok, so I got we got these 'gangs' who are presumably are ruled over by the leaders, and white boy used to be a bloodthirsty maniac who killed the previous 7th leader but now wants no part of it?
Interesting visuals to be sure, but so far no draw from me.

The episode idea was really interesting for me. All the characters interacting and battling for unknown reasons… until the main character appears and we have the final revelation at the end of the ep. This is unusual, and I'm tired of the "classic manga start" (like the start Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun) and… Well, I don't mind/can ignore it when it's well done, but the change is a welcomed fresh air in anime.
So I hope the plot discovers itself as great, only that.

The only thing that seems very out of place(even the seiyuu made a little fun of this in the web radio) is the battou scene(where the sector 4 member unsheath their swords before declaring their name). That one was hilarious and feel unnecessary to me lol.

I think there are two ways an anime can get away with being as full of itself as K: being self-aware and subtly making fun of itself; or being earnest and playing everything straight, but having the budget and the talent to back it up. From the first ep K seems to be in the latter category: self-indulgent, yes, style over substance, yes, but at least it's doing it right (mostly).

That first episode was fascinating for me, but I see a lot of faces here in this thread that I think are out of their element the same way I am when I go to watch one of those "slice of life" shows so I don't think this show is going to give them what they are looking for. If you were just attracted hear by the glitzy animation production and direction (and I think it almost sets a new standard for TV anime at least in terms of being visually stimulating if not in having more frames of animation per second) and came from the school of Kyoani or say Shaft (don't know any other brands that are watched just for their animation stylings by many so if those are poor comparisons then eh...) for it then I don't think you're going to be able to enjoy this show content, pacing and direction wise at all and I don't think it's made for you either.
What I mean by that is this show seems to be about style and nuance first to attract attention first, exposition and character development later when it has your undivided attention. I see subtle touches of revealing what things are about over time even in this episode, but somehow I feel with this show it would actually do it a disservice to reveal everything in the first episode. I think this is going to be one of those shows that slowly peels back the layers of it's setting, characters and conflict as time goes on. This is GoHands first TV project that I know of so there's everything to prove and nothing to make assumptions off of what to expect yet though so I'm every bit ready to give it the chance to do so. I'll worry about the narrative if nothing is clear by the halfway point but other than that I'm intrigued. Just watching things unfold should be a pretty interesting experience in and of itself if my suspicions prove correct about the type of story we've got going here.
I also quite liked the soundtrack. I'd describe it as quite urban and modern, perfect for the way the show comes across really. It sounds like something Shoji Meguro of Shin Mega Ten fame would compose.

For this show, I would call it as a fujioshi switch-and-bait. The male-oriented fanservice which you mentioned is the "bait" and the BL undertones are the "switch". As a male viewer, why would I take the bait when I can see the switch that waiting to be triggered? Some other men, especially adventurous ones may take that bait but for me, I rather turn my back and keep walking. Just leave it as it is. This show is a good example.
By the way I start to troll this thread even if I don't want to. If you still wants to talk about it, please do it privately.

Which is quite refreshing actually when combined with the rather laid back pace....how many anime this year have actually used this kind of atmosphere as the main background

And sorry, but the "bait and switch" thing is ridiculous. If you've seen any promotion material for this series you should've already known that it was full of pretty boys...
If you don't want to watch K don't watch it, nobody is forcing you? It's just that all the complaining about it not being macho enough, and targeting female viewers (eeeeww! right?) as well as males is getting really ridiculous.

I'm quite amused at how this series is tagged as a "yaoi anime" with only one scene.
Judging from Yashiro's overall personality in episode 1, his reactions should not be expected as necessarily "normal". (Remember Yuuko Kanoe's personality?)

this one also has many beautiful graphics in it - although not the same quality as the Bakst designs in the Ballet Russe brochure. still, they are spectacular and this is much more rare than the other one.
Another brochure i picked up last night. Both this and the Ballet Russe were found in the trash near my house last night. apparently, there's a whole lot more which i'm going to see today. from the same batch, i picked up a bunch of photo negatives from the 1920s/30s. some are of the bay bridge under construction, and others are of soft porn - gay and straight. how do i get those made into prints? old technology...

Event Coverage
FASHION WEEK: Antoinette Beenders at Kimberly Ovitz
Antoinette Beenders was busy at work behind the scenes for the Kimberly Ovitz fall/winter 2013 collection for fashion week. A simple finish has never really been her style....as demonstrated with the clever corseted, 20's style wave shown today in NYC.
"The hair is full of Aveda Phemollient," she told Modern as she wrapped milliner's elastic around pigtails. "It's all about creating cool kicks. This look is really quite fun, an overlay on top of a smooth surface." And the perfect icing on the cake for the equally perfect designs.

[[Túrin Turambar|Túrin]] = '''NIENOR'''
[[Túrin Turambar|Túrin]] = '''NIENOR'''
Revision as of 22:12, 15 July 2006
Nienor (First Age 473 – 499, aged 26 years), also called Níniel ("Tear-Maiden"), was Húrin and Morwen's third child and the sister of Túrin Turambar. Her father was a great foe of Morgoth and was cursed by the Dark Lord. That curse would also ensnare his children, leading to the greatest tragedies of the First Age.
She was born in Hithlum in the year of the Nirnaeth Arnoediad ("The Battle of Unnumbered Tears"), during which her father was captured by the servants of Morgoth. After the battle, the Easterlings settled in the land and oppressed the People of Hador. Fearing for her son's life, Morwen sent Túrin to the kingdom of Doriath for safety. As a result, Túrin never saw his sister.
Nienor remained in Hithlum with her mother for twenty years before they went to Doriath in hopes of finding Túrin. He had left the kingdom, but Nienor and her mother heard a rumor that the mysterious Mormegil, war chief of the Kingdom of Nargothrond, was actually Túrin. The two then journeyed out with a company of Elves. Unfortunately, the Dragon Glaurung had just sacked the Elven city, and, sensing their approach, caused a cloud of foul vapor to rise from the river Narog. The party's horses panicked and Nienor was separated, at which point the worm Glaurung used his enchantments to put her in a state of total amnesia.
Eventually, the amnesiac woman was found by Mablung, who intended to take her back to Doriath but they were attacked by Orcs while attempting to cross the river Taeglin. In confusion and terror, Nienor tore off her clothes and ran naked through the forest until she fainted.
Here her brother Túrin found her, naked and terrified, at the grave of Finduilas, the elf-maid whom he had loved. Because Nienor did not remember her identity and Túrin did not know he had a living sister, he named her Níniel ("Tear-Maiden") and brought her to safety in the Forest of Brethil.
The men of Brethil returned to the settlement of Ephel Brandir soon after. When "Níniel" fell sick, Brandir tended to her, secretly falling in love. However, "Níniel" loved Túrin more, and after three years, they were wed. By the next spring, she was halfway through her first pregnancy.
It was then that rumors of Glaurung's approach reached Túrin, who went out to slay him. Unfortunately, the dragon envenomated him even as he dealt the worm a mortal blow, and Túrin fell into a swoon. At this moment, "Níniel", who feared for her husband's life, arrived and found him apparently dead. The dying Glaurung then removed Nienor's amnesia with his last words. Realising she had married her own brother and was carrying his unborn child, she committed suicide by throwing herself into the gorge of Cabed-en-Aras. When Túrin finally awoke, he was told of Nienor's fate by Brandir, but he refused to believe it, and slew him in anger. Then Mablung of Doriath arrived and corroborated Brandir's tale. In utter misery, Túrin killed himself on his sword Gurthang.
The tragedy of Túrin and Nienor's love and suicide ap pear to have been carefully scripted by the curse of Morgoth, as meted out by his servant Glaurung — this was his most dangerous weapon and the coincidences are too great to be accidental. That Nienor would arrive naked and amnesiac on the grave of Túrin's love, who had been tragically murdered; the repercussions of this incident are too specific to not be the work of the curse.

I am writing this blog after reading an article by Ellen Galinsky in the Huffington Post about Education Nation and how it was demonstrated that children were not being put first. When speakers were asked why the U.S. fell behind many thought it was because we were complacent about the U.S. supremacy in the world. We didn't, says Galinsky, put children first.
I am not at all surprised that children were not put first. Just look at the way we are overwhelming them with standardized tests and telling them they are only as good as their test scores.
Throughout Education Nation, there was a focus on student achievement as seen by scores on a standardized test. The importance of student engagement was totally ignored according to Galinsky. I agree with this observation. Children whose eyes are bright with excitement and are engaged in learning may become extinct. We are now seeing children who are anxious, nervous and even physically ill each time standardized tests are given. This is even more evident with our English language learners who are double tested each year. They are required to take standardized tests designed for English speakers and then a test designed to measure growth in English language acquisition.
Another facet of education that Galinsky feels was ignored during Education Nation is preschool education. How can a national forum for education reform ignore our preschool population? Galinsky doesn't mention that economists reviewing the Perry Preschool Study and other longitudinal studies have found time and again that children with a great start stay in school longer, have greater earning potential, less placement in special education, lower likelihood of incarceration or dependence on welfare. How can we narrow the achievement gap if our youngest students aren't part of this discussion? According the Karen Nemeth, author of Many Languages, One Classroom: Teaching Dual and English Language Learners, "The great thing is that investing in high quality preschool education not only benefits ELLs, but elevates the chances for success for all children who participate. It is a win win situation if there ever was one."
Education Nation also told us that public schools are failing and that poor teaching and unions are the cause of this failure. No one mentioned poor school leadership. I think new teachers need mentoring during their first three years of teaching. This mentoring is usually done by administrators. If we have poor teachers in our schools it is because an administrator did not take the time to work with those teachers. Most mentorship programs are weak and only last for a year. Were the new soon-to-be poor teachers given honest evaluations? Or were they sugarcoated? Did principals follow up with unannounced visits to the classroom to see if the new teacher was actually making progress. Did he look to see if the students in this teacher's class were engaged and enthusiastic about learning? A teacher who is not engaging students during the first three years should not be given tenure. If a poor teacher is given tenure, than there is a principal some place that has not done his/her job. Who suffers when this happens?.
The children!

LESSON 121: Small Hive Beetle Trapping Part 1 www.honeybeesonline.com 217-427-2678
Hello again from Long Lane Honey Bee Farms located in central Illinois where it is hot and dry too! But, our bees are doing great, making lots of honey. Thanks for joining us for another lesson in beekeeping. With the honey harvest going strong, this will be a timely lesson. I want to stress the importance of being vigilant at trapping small hive beetles. They are everywhere. If you have not seen shb in your hives, they just haven't found you yet. They most likely will. Most beekeepers must continually kill and trap shb.
So let me point out several essential practices to reduce shb infestations in your hives.
1. Do not throw old comb on the ground near your hives as this could attract shb. Instead, carry a bucket into your bee yards and place unwanted comb into the bucket and melt the wax down promptly.
2. Keep your extracting area very clean and closed off to the outside. Harvest supers quickly, the same day, and put them back on hives.
3. Freeze extracted supers for 24-48 hours. This will kill any shb eggs and wax moth eggs. I freeze my supers immediately upon extracting the honey.
4. When putting wet supers (supers that have been extracted but still have some honey in the comb making it appear wet) back on the hive make sure there is one or two beetle traps in the supers. It may take a few days for the bees to start working the wet supers, and this delay may give the shb enough time to infest the unprotected wet supers.
My hive in the photo is going crazy filling up supers. I placed 3 wet supers on it and placed one beetle trap on the top super just as an extra defense against the beetles that could find these wet supers before the bees get back up there to work it. I also froze the supers for 48 hours.
In this lesson on beetle trapping I am calling it part one because I want to look at several common traps used on shb. Today, the Better Beetle Blaster.
This is practically a throw away trap though many of us will get several uses from a single trap if properly managed. The trap is often misused. It works best when the following procedure is followed.
Place 2 traps in each deep hive body. One between frames 1 & 2 and the second trap between frames 9 & 10. This is where the beetles often travel. If very few to no beetles present themselves, you can only place traps in the top hive body. Stagger the placement so one side is offset from the other side. It should look like the traps in the photo above.
The beetle trap should be filled with 25cc of vegetable oil. We sell a trap that comes with a needleless syringe. The syringe is used to insert the oil without making a mess as oil is also bad for bees if spilt in the hive.
Do not put too much oil in the trap or it may not work effectively. About 1/4 to 1/2 inch of oil in the trap works best. The bees will chase the beetles into the trap and they will drown in the oil. The traps need maintained every 2 weeks. If you leave them on longer, beetles are less likely to go into a trap filled with other dead beetles.
There is a proper way to remove a Better Beetle Blaster trap. Many people simply pull them out. Do not do that. First, take the curved portion of your hive tool and run it on the top along both sides of the trap killing all shb hiding beneath the trap where it hangs on the top bar of the frames. If you pick it up without doing this, many beetles may be set free to run throughout the hive. Next, spread out the frames so that you can make space to easily remove your trap. If you do not do this, you may rip the trap and spill oil in your hive.
Finally, once your trap has more than 10 beetles in it, discard it and replace with a new one. The trap should be replaced after two weeks.
I see no reason to bait the trap with apple vinegar but some do. I prefer not to put any kind of shb attractant in my hives for obvious reasons.

This is just awesome. You both blessed couple have done a great great job documenting every detail. My heartily thanks.
I am not on blogger, so its tough as i cannot follow your blog. But i surely wish to be in touch, and will keep your site in links for regular update reads.
I am planning to go country and do farmings as well, in near future. Lets say less than 2 years.. . and as part of my farm, surely i will have to do bee keeping. I too feel it is integral to any farm, not just for pollination and honey, but also they have more intricate relations with flora and fauna on larger level as such.
my many auspicious wishes.

Portobello Mushroom, Spring Onion and Pine Nut Pasta
To tell you the truth I wasn't planning on posting this recipe. I was making a quick lunch yesterday, was in a hurry to head out the door and then realized that this was exactly what I needed to write about... the fact that sometimes we have very little time to make ourselves a quick meal, but that with a few simple guidelines it can be a wonderful, heart-warming dish that keeps you going for hours.
I very often turn to pasta dishes when I'm in no shape to cook a lengthy meal. As I have mentioned before, I am not a big fan of pasta with a lot of sauce, especially for everyday lunches. Here are the few guidelines I have been living by: firstly, don't underestimate the power of mixing your pasta in the pan where you cooked the vegetables, meat or whatever else you are using as a garnish. Mixing the pasta in that pan melds in a few seconds all of the flavors together and makes the pasta actually taste flavorful.. because, let's face it, pasta on its own has very little flavor. And, secondly, any pasta can use a little bit of crunch! Whether it's pine nuts like here, toasted breadcrumbs, crispy pancetta or al dente peas - a little crunch adds wonderful texture to any pasta.
All to say, that I ended up spending some time taking a picture of my lunch, ate it cold, and was late!
Recipe (for one!)
100 grams of spaghetti
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 large portobello mushroom, sliced
2 spring onions, diced
2 tablespoons of freshly grated Parmesan, and more for the table
1 small handful of pine nuts, toasted
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Cook the pasta. In the meantime, drizzle some olive oil in a pan on medium high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the mushrooms in a single layer. Don't move them for 2 minutes. Turn the mushrooms and cook for another minute. Turn the heat to medium low, add the spring onions, garlic and stir with a wooden spoon. Once the pasta is al dente add a teaspoon of pasta water to the pan. Add the drained pasta and stir vigorously. Add the Parmesan and the pine nuts and stir. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and extra Parmesan cheese. Serve with crusty bread. Enjoy!

It seems like this may not give the pinenuts a chance to toast, which is entirely the point of pinenuts

james: the pine nuts are toasted beforehand as indicated in the ingredients. They are just tossed in with the pasta at the end so all the flavors come together nicely.

All is not well in the ecosystem that surrounds Microsoft server products. At least, not from the perspective of those outside the Redmond campus who look at decisions emitting from the puzzle palace and wonder why…
Take what happened last Friday, just as the U.S. was settling into the Labor Day weekend that traditionally marks the end of summer. Not a day when you'd expect a major announcement from Microsoft Learning, unless of course they wanted to communicate some bad news. It seems that slipping out unpalatable information at times when people are distracted by other things is the recommended approach, at least for the devotees of the "West Wing" and other soaps.
The memo from Microsoft Learning said:
"… we are making a change to the Microsoft Certified Master, Microsoft Certified Solutions Master, and Microsoft Certified Architect certifications. As technology changes so do Microsoft certifications and as such, we are continuing to evolve the Microsoft certification program. Microsoft will no longer offer Masters and Architect level training rotations and will be retiring the Masters level certification exams as of October 1, 2013. The IT industry is changing rapidly and we will continue to evaluate the certification and training needs of the industry to determine if there's a different certification needed for the pinnacle of our program."
To most people this doesn't seem like a big deal. The industry is changing. Microsoft Learning appears to be on the ball and are making appropriate changes to some of their programs, and the Microsoft Certified Master (MCM) and Microsoft Certified Architect (MCA) accreditations will no longer be offered after October 1. They've done their homework, these programs are deemed to be no longer necessary in the context of today's technology, time to move on.
But hold on. We still need Architects to help create appropriate well-founded solutions for complex IT challenges and we still need people who know technology at an in-depth bits n' bytes level to solve the inevitable problems that occur during implementations. Those needs extend across much of Microsoft's server application portfolio, including Exchange, SharePoint, and SQL and are not going away anytime soon. Although many companies are looking to cloud-based solutions for their future IT requirements, the most complex and most interesting implementations are unlikely to be solved by cloud technology in the short term because that that platform is still reasonably immature when compared to on-premises. Sure, cloud does a great job for Office 365 and an increasing amount of applications can be served by Azure and the like, but that's nothing in comparison to the range, depth, and extent of applications used across the world. We shall continue to need skilled technologists and architects, if only to bridge the gap between the on-premises and cloud worlds.
Taken in that light, Microsoft's decision seems strange. MCSE remains as an accreditation and is now the highest level of certification that someone can achieve. Given the huge numbers that participate in the program, MCSE is very much a lowest-denomination certification in the minds of many. The number of MCSE certifications achieved through "bootcamp exam prep" have not helped its reputation as any accreditation gained with force-fed training is less credible than experience-based knowledge.
I mean no insult any MCSE here because many excellent technologists hold this accreditation. However, the value of MCM and MCA is that they allowed technologists to expand and prove their capabilities against much more stringent yardsticks to assure customers that the MCMs and MCAs were well-equipped to take on the most difficult problems.
Compared to MCSE, MCM requires huge commitment from product groups and attendees to go through weeks on on-site training and exams. MCA requires a different type of commitment, but the qualification process is exacting and, for some people, possibly the most in-depth professional examination they will ever face. Many Microsoft employees take these accreditations to prove their competence. I have had the chance to be a member of two MCA accreditation boards and both were tremendous, demanding, tiring, and uplifting experiences.
As happens so often in large companies, despite the protestations of Microsoft's Tim Sneath posted in response to MVP Jen Stirrup's "Please don't get rid of the MCM and MCA programs" plea (update 7 September: the post has been hidden because of the nature of some of the comments ), I imagine that the decision was based very much on cost and did not factor in the impact on some of Microsoft's most gifted technical supporters. After all, there is no "people impact" button to press in Excel.
With a cold management eye, you'd have to say that the MCM and MCA programs never achieved the necessary scale to deliver the impact that they might have had. Measurements of program success might have included driving extra business, the number of people accredited against plan, greater customer satisfaction, or attaining industry acceptance for the accreditations. We do not know how Microsoft measured MCM or MCA. What we do know is that neither program seems to have met its goals.
I have great respect for those who have become qualified MCMs and MCAs, but at the end of the day the numbers probably said "these programs cost too much and deliver too little benefit – we need a new approach." To be fair to Tim Sneath, this is a point that he makes well. MCM costs too much. Any program that requires candidates to spend at least three weeks away from home and comes with a hefty fee to drive the overall cost for accreditation north of $30K needs to be revisited.
Given that MCM started as the Exchange Ranger program in 2001 (and subsequently expanded to cover AD, Lync, SharePoint, and SQL) and MCA was launched at TechEd in June 2005, the programs have been around a while and it is fair to assume that they would have achieved the intended scale and impact by now. Put against the huge scale of MCSE numbers, they have not and therein lies the problem. To quote Tim Sneath, only 0.08% of MCSE qualified individuals upgrade their qualifications through MCM. I am sure that this is disappointing to Microsoft, but wonder if the correct measurement is being used here. After all, a huge pyramid of MCSE certified people exists (over 400,000 perhaps?), and the right approach is surely to focus on the top 5% of that community to attract the best of the best towards something like MCM?
In any case, MCM and MCA are toast, at least in their current iterations. For MCM, the hope exists that Microsoft will come up with a new program that doesn't have such a high financial barrier for entry and retains as much as possible of the goodness that exists in today's implementation; we shall see.
I can understand why the decision to phase out the MCM and MCA accreditations was taken. What I cannot understand is the way the decision was communicated. Slipping the communication into email late on Friday evening seems to say "we hope this sneaks by you" rather than "here's something important that you need to know". It smacks of arrogance and a lack of sensitivity, which is regrettable. Some of the candor expressed in Tim Sneath's post might have been valuable if it had been incorporated into the memo from Microsoft Learning.
What's more perturbing than any individual decision is the apparent lack of joined-up thinking that surrounds how Microsoft interacts with technologists who support its technology in the field. The ideal situation would be to present a coherent integrated plan for the ecosystem that incorporates new technology, training, accreditation, and so on but that's not happening. Like the TechNet subscription fiasco (the petition asking to keep an affordable alternative to MSDN has attracted nearly 11,000 supporters, but I doubt Microsoft will listen), the MCM/MCA situation is a self-inflicted wound that simply makes people want to tell Microsoft to go to hell. (Thought to self: isn't this what the Open Source community has been saying?)
All large corporations make decisions that appear to be harsh and unpalatable at the time. The best corporations communicate those decisions in a fair and reasonable manner after doing the necessary preparation to offset any damage. I don't think Microsoft Learning did a good job here.
Follow Tony @12Knocksinna
Update 2 September: If you want to hear some reaction from MCAs and MCMs affected by the move, download and listen to episode #27 of the UC Architects webcast. It's really quite fun - and will give you a flavor of the "live UC Architects" session that we are running at Exchange Connections in Las Vegas next month. The live UC Architects session is scheduled for 2:30pm on Wednesday, October 2. Should be a compelling broadcast!
