Just me.
gallery pages:
I grew up in Western NY, and now live in New Mexico (That unknown void between AZ and TX) . I attended Central New Mexico Community College and graduated with an AAS in Radiologic Technology. I started with photography as a kid with a Kodak 110 camera. I never pursued it as a serious hobby until after I moved to New Mexico in 2001. I had seen one too many sunsets, and decided I need to capture them so others could enjoy them. I do realize that there are probably a billion sunset photographs taken daily. The light in NM is special, so I don't feel bad adding to billions of similar photographs. My first SLR was the Pentax ZX-L. I had asked the rec.photo.equipment.35mm usenet group what camera would be good for me. I mentioned that I wanted to take photos of fireworks as well. The first few responses mentioned the Pentax line of cameras (which still amazes me since Canikon is usually the response people get). Long story short, I'm a Pentax owner. I n 2006 I joined the digital world and purchased a new Pentax *ist DL. This camera is still with me though it has since been relegated to a backup role. My current main camera is the Pentax K-5. I don't foresee changing cameras unless Pentax releases a full frame digital. I still shoot some film, Ektar 100 being my favorite. I have also been dabbling with a Large Format camera, a Speed Graphic. My Equipment includes: Pentax ME Pentax ZX-L(MZ-6) Pentax *ist DL Pentax K-5 Holga Speed Graphic Pentax-F 70-210 Pentax-DA 18-55mm lens ("Kit Lens" Though I bought it after purchasing the DL) Pentax SMCP FA 28-80 f3.5-5.6(Kit lens for the ZX-L) Pentax-M 50mm f1.4 Pentax-M 50mm f1.7 Pentax-M 50mm f2 Pentax-A 50mm f2 Vivitar 28mm f2.8 Cambron f6.3 400mm T-Mount Sears 135mm Macro Sunpak 522 x2 Sunpak 622 Super Sigma EF-500 DG Super White Lighting Ultra 600 Mole Richardson 407 baby Solarspot Bogen 3021 Tripod Elichrom Skyports

I'm looking right at you. Yes, you... the camera.
Only stuck this online because i liked the DOF.
I grew up in upstate NY, and now live in New Mexico. (yes, that void between AZ and TX) Currently I am attend Central New Mexico Community College. I am in their Radiologic Technology program. This consumes most of my time.
I started with photography after I moved out to New Mexico in 2001. I had seen one too many sunsets, and decided I need to capture them so others could enjoy them. I did of course realize that there are probobly a billion sunset photos in the world. I should mention that I had an interest in photography before that point, being originally from Rochester, NY. I probobly went through a multitude of 110 cameras.
My first SLR was the Pentax ZX-L. I had entered a usenet group(rec.photo.equipment.35mm) I believe) and asked about what camera would be good for me. I mentioned that I wanted to take photos of fireworks as well. The first few responses mentioned the Pentax line of cameras (which still amazes me since Canikon is usually the response people get). Long story short, I'm a Pentax owner. :-)
Second SLR i purchased was my first digital. The Pentax *ist DL. I have been using that since April 2006. I do want that new Pentax K7, but I will patiently wait while I use my DL and ZX-L (and even my Pentax ME).
For better or for worse I have never taken a photography class. I asked a friend of my Mother's, who is an excellent photographer(was going to directly link to his page but smugmug is choking on it.
) , if I should take a class, and his response was "just keep shooting". I have used that advice well. Digital made the advice a lot easier on the wallet.
Every photo uploaded here has been via 56k dialup modem. So if it seems like the uploads happen over a long period time, thats because they do.
So ummm I don't have a flat bed scanner than can scan negs... so I did the only logical thing. I took a photo of a medium format neg with an APS-C DSLR with a wireless flash to back illuminate it. yeaaah.

Enter your required width and drop measurements.
Select the "Blind size (exact)" option.
Please note that with the outside recess option, the headrail may be slightly wider than the finished fabric width.

Thread: Good 1v1 Thread

Good 1v1 Thread
I'll preface this post with a warning: I haven't sifted through pages of firefoot pvmp threads, so I don't know if we have tried this out before.
I know these threads can be a ton of fun, and I'd love it if FF had its very own.
Post any and all fun/interesting/awesome 1v1s you've had in this thread as a shout out to your combatants.
I'll start us off...
I only solo, so I had a lot of 1v1s today, but a few that stood out were Helly, Remixadan, and Dathorar(spelling).
Thanks for the fights!Dank Nasty and Proud of It Betch

Re: Good 1v1 Thread
I had a nice 1v1 vs. Blasty.
It was a perfect exchange.
He killed me, and then died himself 10 seconds later to my DoTs.
I also ran into a Minstrel (Hanbrthorn SP?) or something like that.
We had an excellent 1v1 but I lost.
It was still nice and close which made it fun.You realize Wargfoot is a pro...right? - Valthirus, Talent Scout, Vilya

Re: Good 1v1 Thread
Good 1v1s Necrolagniatic!
The first one I was just infamy depraved, so I used brand. My apologies for that its been a slow morning.
In the second one I started out of stealth and it was very close, but I just eeked out the win with a few lucky crits. More Lore-masters need to use tar, that makes for quite the fight lol.
After our second 1v1 I was standing there wondering if your dots would kill me, and I was about to walk up to you and /bow when all of a sudden wham-bam-pow, I was no longer alive.
I completely forgot about the eagle rezz haha! If I wasn't so comotose from having just woken up, maybe that wouldn't have happened, but it made for a great laugh hehe.
Thanks!Dank Nasty and Proud of It Betch

Re: Good 1v1 Thread
Necro is the only LM I've known on our server that can successfully pull off winning with the eagle consistently. I just can't give up my ISG or Ents for it.

Re: Good 1v1 Thread
Screenies are fine, but they have to be current.
I.E. No posting screens from 1v1s that happened a long time ago, and no flooding this thread with old screenies.
Nice 1v1 Zhandir. You are usually a pretty decently played minstrel, but your new kiting me through the bears tactic doesn't seem to be working out too well. I'd suggest you try a new strategy, unless you want to keep feeding meh.Dank Nasty and Proud of It Betch

Special props to Zhandir, you definitely have a very interesting strategy against wargs. I enjoy fighting you and with a few gear improvements and lvl 65, I'm sure you'll be a touhg minstrel to beat.
Thanks for the fun!

Thanks Adieu for the Special Props, althought today i really done some big mistakes, plus no potions at all, to keep up with the silence between spar and spar. Wargs are a pain, im getting fustrated trying to get a right strat to fight them, the only creeps i seem to be able to beat with ease are reavers or BA's (if i get enough close).

Special Props to Moorcowbell, very impressed with you man!
You saw me taunting you from inside EC, while the other creeps wouldn't let me get in range to you, so you decided to move to xroads. Just like if you knew it, you did set a fire trap before i did move outside EC to spot you, very clever position also from that tree, you almost had me, blame my Lyric of Hammerhand that saved my ***.
I will never understimate a BA anymore, not you at least!

Re: Good 1v1 Thread
Fuzzyfeet - You're better then you let on. I took advantage of your lack of tracker-care or anti-stealthing. You should use those more often and you will have a better jump on your foe's... As for other hunters who track and do not follow they are just pestering warg's... as for me... I track to kill.
Adieu, good spar. you kinda got the jump on me tho... Lol... i didn't even have focus filled before you pounced in. but that's fine and good. I will just have to try harder next time!Havoksnipes - Rank 12

Re: Good 1v1 Thread
About 1 in 10 tracking messages, if ignored, end up in a hunter actually showing up. It's nice to see the skill actually being used - it is the most poorly used skill on the moors as far as I'm concerned.
As for stealthing, I don't use it quite as much because I'm interested in fighting people that are interested in fighting me. I let serveral people just ride by today while others would stop and fight. It is interesting to see who wants a piece and who doesn't. I run from all burgs though.
The battle with you is the only close hunter battle I've had in awhile. All the other hunters have been very squishy. Even with manheal they just get tore up something fierce. It's great to have a nemesis that delivers the uncertainty that makes this stuff fun. I'll be bouncing around - probably near the crossroads tonight.

Perkins Pirates' defense grounds Clyde Fliers
PERKINS TWP. — Clyde entered Friday night's game with Perkins averaging 61.5 points per game over its last two games.
Against the Pirates' defense, well, let's just say that average went way down.
The Fliers mustered 261 yards of offense and turned the ball over three times in the second half as Perkins cruised to a 35-13 win at a cold and rainy Firelands Regional Medical Center Stadium.

That's a Good Question! - by Allan Starling
As I look around our office, I see a wide variety of individuals with an even wider range of skills and backgrounds. None of them looks like a missionary, but that is what they are! In one sense, that is more important than what they do. So let's start there. To work at GRN you must be:
- A born again Christian - this job is all about God's kingdom.
- Called of God - otherwise you won't last!
- Humble - because God doesn't use proud people.
- A team player - because we all depend on each other.
- Available and willing - and if you have a few skills, all the better!
I made a list of the various tasks which are performed here on a daily basis and divided it by the number of people who are involved. If I did the math correctly, it shows clearly that many of us are wearing two or three hats. Some of the hats are easily noticeable while others almost fade into the background. But they would all fit better if there were only one per head.
In addition to our missionary members who work full-time in Temecula, we have volunteers who come in one or more days a week. Some members go on overseas assignments while others represent the work throughout the USA.
Whatever we do, each of us is focused on one objective-to make it possible for others to hear the good news in their own languages. We'll look closer at some of these jobs next time.
Allan Starling wears at least two hats as USA Deputy Assistant Executive Director and Language Tracking Director

At A Glance: In the early 1990s, inspired by the bent plywood approach of Charles and Ray Eames, Design Group Italia set out to make the Lyra Stool distinctive from the get-go. This curvaceous counterstool features a curve at the back that almost defies physics - and turns out to be quite comfortable.
What's To Like:
What's Not to Like: You could pay much less for a dining stool, and there's no denying that. The choice is between refined modern quality and cost savings.
The Bottom Line: The Lyra Stool has graced the interiors of some of the most well-designed homes, and it proves that sometimes the simplest way to go is the most beautiful.
The Magis Lyra Stool is also known by the following manufacturer Item Number: MGL20.

What a great idea about making cards out of the J Crew catalog! Those are adorable. This sounds like my ideal "alone time" afternoon. I also enjoy and value my alone time. I usually spend it reading magazines or books, taking walks, running errands, cooking, watching bad reality tv (my current favorite is Bachelor Pad), and giving myself manicures/facials. Ahh, I'm relaxed just thinking about it. I have a "me day" scheduled for this upcoming weekend.

Reindeer Blood Dumplings
Sweden - 01 Aug 11
Reindeer husbandry has always been very important to the culture of the Sámi, the Indigenous people of the Sápmi territory that stretches across northern Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. After slaughter, Sámi households would traditionally use all parts of the animal for nutrition, clothing and other purposes. Blodpalt is a recipe that makes use of the reindeer blood, and has been prepared in Sámi kitchens for hundreds of years, normally throughout the long dark winter. Swedish Sámi food ambassador and chef Greta Hoover cooked this dish with Australian Aboriginal elder Aunty Beryl during Indigenous Terra Madre, held in Jokkmokk, Sweden last month and hosted by Slow Food Sápmi. In a classic Terra Madre moment of sharing and cross-cultural exchange, the pair chatted like old friends about the similarities and differences between reindeer meat and Australian kangaroo meat, sharing tips, recipes, and conversation. The exchange was filmed for Sámi Swedish television. Greta learnt this classic Sámi recipe from her father when she was a child. The dumplings are normally served in a soup with reindeer meat. Blodpalt Recipe 2 liters/8 cups reindeer meat broth 500ml/2 cups reindeer blood (frozen and defrosted) salt to taste 250 g/2 cups white or rye flour Put the cold blood in a bowl and add a pinch of salt. Mix in the flour, stirring until the mixture is thickened and smooth. Heat the broth until it comes to the boil. Drop half-spoonfuls of the mixture into the boiling broth. The dumplings will sink to the bottom then rise to the surface. Let them boil for 5 more minutes on the surface before removing with a slotted spoon.

Rendered the videos, but not uploading to Elite or Linked Youtube
Like (0)
I linked my youtube account, and uploaded a 12 second clip to COD Elite from my theater. I rendered and uploaded. It said that it had uploaded successfully and to check it out at theater.callofduty.com. But, for me it never uploaded. I go to Mw3 player card, go to vault, and it shows 0 videos uploaded. Though, the vault slots where I put my videos are blue? Anyways, I gave it a few days, but it still doesn't upload. Doesn't show up in COD Elite or my youtube. I need some assistance. What am I doing wrong?
I changed a video in my last slot not too long ago yet the old video is all that pops up on Elite....hmmm. I don't really care all that much but it is a bit disappointing.
So your videos are not uploading to your current YouTube account that is linked on Elite. Lets try the following, unlink your account and proceed to upload a clip. After the clip has uploaded, proceed to either default MW3 YouTube channel and see if you can view the footage.
Xbox 360: https://www.youtube.com/user/360codmw3?feature=results_main
PlayStation 3: https://www.youtube.com/user/ps3codmw3?feature=results_main
This will see if any of your clips are being uploaded at all. Keep us updated. Thanks!^RT
So I see that my vids have uploaded to that PS3 site. I have unlinked and relinked my youtube account but they still dont seem to be going there...any thoughts?
same with me... god i dont have a capture card and i wanted to upload some of my vids to youtube. but i guess that didnt happen....
same for me. In theatre video says rendering complete, but in Elite no video clip showing!
Same thing for me, they have to do something cause we want to upload our clips without no problem

If you have an Optimus notebook, it just got new profiles. A profile tips off the system to the kind of application being used and which GPU makes the most sense for that application. One of the many cool new things Optimus brings to the table is silent updates for profiles. Profiles are pushed out and updated automatically and frequently to ensure the latest new applications are leveraging the NVIDIA GPU if needed. This week, silently and in the background, the first update happened.
New profiles in this update include: Aliens vs Predator 3, Bioshock 2: Sea of Dreams, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, Red Faction: Guerilla, Saboteur, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, AquaMark 3, Dark Void, Mass Effect II, and many others.
NVIDIA Optimus is a game-changer for notebooks. Optimus is automatic and transparent to the end user. Users simply launch their desired application(s) and the technology figures the best processor to do the job.
Headline features include what is described as a �shreddable world� where operatives are �encourages to leave no witnesses�.Read more
�We�re all massive FPS fans and believe that there�s room for a refresh of the shooter experience,� said the game�s creative director Stuart Black. �If Race Driver: Gridwas all about the purity of racing, then everything in Bodycount is absolutely centred on the bullet and its impact on the world.
�Our shredding tech allows us to create a different kind of gameplay, where players and AI can�t hide behind indestructible cover and rely on whack-a-mole mechanics. Here the environment is constantly changing as the game world is shot to hell; it�s going to be a huge amount of fun.�
We are sorry if Dragon Rising and the two DLCs released to date have left you wanting even more, but in the grand scheme of future plans and schedules the vast majority of the team are already busy planning the future of modern combat.Codemasters recently confirmed that they are currently building a brand new shooter franchise using the proprietary Ego engine.
Details are scarce, although we know that the development team is being headed by Stuart Black, who was the man behind the critically acclaimed FPS Black, which was released in 2006. We also know that the new game will use the EGO Game Technology Platform, which was previously used in DIRT 2 and Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising.
This version of the patch is only for use with the retail boxed version of the game. Digitally downloaded versions of the game should be updated soon.
The second patch also includes new Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising downloadable content - the 'Overwatch' pack. This DLC pack delivers two game-changing multiplayer modes as well as new Fire Team Engagement (FTE) missions.
In new multiplayer mode Blindside the PLA must complete objectives in the shortest time possible while the USMC defends in tense, tactical engagements. An additional new mode, Supremacy, tasks opposing forces to occupy strategically vital positions featuring force multipliers like gun emplacements and air strikes.
Blindside pits a team of attackers versus a team of defenders in an objective-based mode that sees the attackers tasked with completing three objectives, while a team of defenders goes all-out to stop them. The attackers can complete the first two objectives in any order, while the third objective is only accessible once the first two objectives have been completed. In addition to having to overcome the defenders, the attackers are also under a time limit set by the host. Maps: St. Sergius' Shadow, Road to Taranay
Supremacy is an objective-based territory control mode. Each team scores points by holding one of 5 capture points. Each capture point will also contain an 'asset', such as access to off-board fire support, when held for a prolonged period of time. The winning team is the team with the most points at the end of the round, or the first team to reach the points limit. If either team holds all territories simultaneously, they automatically win the match.
Maps: The Salt Flats, Island Control
These new multiplayer modes are complimented by two brand new FTEs. In Friendly Skies, PLA anti-aircraft artillery prevents US airborne reinforcements inserting into the combat zone. Players must remove that threat and then defend the position from a PLA counter attack. In Hostile Takeover, intel reveals enemy movement in the village of Armudan, a perfect base for launching attacks deep into enemy territory. Gamers must flush out the PLA, establish a perimeter and hold their ground against a new enemy assault.
2nd PC patch due for release tomorrow (27th Jan)! Oorah! :) [...] The patch also comes bundled with the 2nd DLC pack: "Overwatch", with new Fire Team Engagements plus new MP modes "Blindside" & "Supremacy"For a list of changes in the upcoming patch, check the post below.

text: How will Twitter grow up? 17 November 09 by Steven Levy Tweet Christoph Niemann This article was taken from the December issue of Wired UK magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing onlineLast August, the people who putatively run Twitter - the small crew that three years ago launched the world's fastest-growing communications medium - announced a relatively minor change in the way the site functions. The tweak would have a small effect on retweeting, the convention by which Twitter users repost someone else's informative or amusing message to their own Twitter followers. Retweets start with RT, for "retweet", and usually cite the first author by user ID. And, importantly, retweeters often add a word or two of commentary about the repeated content.But there was a problem: Twitter itself didn't invent retweeting, it was created by Twitter users. In a blog post explaining the changes to retweets, the company's second-in-command, Biz Stone, called the changes "a great example of Twitter teaching us what it wants to be". The good news, he said, was that Twitter was building retweets right into the site's architecture. The bad news was that "project retweet" didn't make any provision for the commentary that users might like to add.It didn't take long for Twitter users to respond: how dare Twitter mess with... Twitter! A self-described "social, search, and viral-marketing scientist" named Dan Zarrella posted a passionate cri de coeur, writing that Twitter was about to "completely eviscerate most of the value out of retweets". That night, Zarrella created a Twitter hashtag - another grass-roots Twitter convention, which lets users group their conversations - called #saveretweets. A few tweeters liked the plan, but the general consensus was summed up by one user skilled in Twitter's uncompromising brevity: "Very bad plan we hates it."The "retweet incident" is a distillation of how Twitter has come so far so fast - and how tricky it might be to keep up the momentum. In an amazingly short time, the messaging service - which does little more than circulate bursts of text limited to 140 characters to a list of people who have chosen to receive them - has established itself as a staple of social networking, commerce, electioneering, celebrity culture, public relations, media and political protest. According to internal documents leaked earlier this year, the company expects to have 25 million active users by the end of 2009, and 100 million by the end of 2010. In 2013, it hopes to become the first internet service to sign up a billion users.There's a big difference between one million adherents - roughly the number of people who receive tweets from Twitter's CEO, Evan Williams, whose recent messages reported the birth of his first child - and one billion, which puts you up there with Google and football. Can something as elementary as Twitter become an enduring pillar of the internet?Perhaps, but Williams and Stone are going about it in an unusual way. They're not obsessed by how to fend off Facebook and Google - which are madly integrating Twitter into their own business plans even as they take steps to neutralise or maybe buy it. And they don't seem to be worried about money. The company's revenue will be a modest $4 million or so this year. Even so, they reportedly turned down a $500 million acquisition offer from Facebook last November, and seem perfectly happy to burn through its roughly $150 million in investor funds.Instead, Williams and Stone spend lots of time concocting schemes to boost the happiness quotient of a workforce that's still only in the double figures - stuff like free lunches and inspirational visits by politicians, folk singers and cult directors. The idea is to establish a corporate culture that will abide even when the number of employees explodes. "I feel like we're one per cent into this," Stone says. "We don't want to be that child actor who finds success early and grows up to be weird."But Twitter is already weird: it rocketed into the mainstream without really knowing what its service was - its users defined it. It was they who made Twitter into a global organism that delivers instant opinion and eyewitness reporting on everything from presidential debates to football injuries. Though the company held a debate earlier this year called "What do we want to be when we grow up?", the mission statement is still a work in progress. "If there are three sentences I'd use to describe Twitter," Stone says, "one of them would be 'I don't know'." As the company pursues those billion users and its own business model, however, it may need to move past a studied ignorance of what it wants to be and shape its product more aggressively. The challenge is to do that without alienating the very community that is currently fuelling the company's rocket-ship ascent.

I love the Seisouhen! (MAJOR SPOILERS!!!)
This part of Rurouni kenshin was so.....SAD. Don't you think? The relationship between Kaoru and Kenshin all borken up. Kenji who doesn't understand his father at all. Lastly, Kenshin die with his scar gone, and in Kaoru's arm. I thought that in the Seisouhen, it shows more of Kenshin and kaoru's relationship....OMG! I cried at the end too.

Did you know that Kenshin wasn't suppossed to die.
(He doesn't die in the manga..as far as I know...) And the creator Nobuhiro Watsuki wasn't happy at all about how they made Kenshin die.
Geez sorry if I offended people by posting this without marking it. This thread was marked with a Major Spoiler warning though. If you don't want to spoil anything for yourself you shouldn't be reading this thread.

But this is an anime discussion thread and he's using manga spoilers. I don't think the tag warns them approprately in this instance.

Half of me didnt like the ending because Kenshin died. The whole humoristc mood of Rurouni Kenshin was destroyed by this OVA.However, the other half of me knew this would happen eventually, and it was good that Kenshin got to see Kaoru one last time before he passed away. Either way, its depressing after watching this OVA, so I had to watch the last episode of the series to get over it.

This OVA is pure garbage IMO.
It took a LONG part of the manga and made it lasts about 20 minutes. This really sucked. Then they invented the events after that. The end Kenshin meets here ... well ... irritates me.
Well this is one of the things that I pretend I've never seen and I'll keep sticking with the Ruruoni Kenshin manga.

On his way back from whatever journey he was on, he fell of the ship into the waters below. I think Sano saved him because the next scene that I remember Sano nursing him back to health.
Whatever happened, he died a the end of the movie, not in the water.

Hmmm.... I can't find the bit when Sano saves him. The earliest I see him is when he turns up on his horse and sees Kenshin sitting on the rocks at the edge of the sea.
PS I'm talking about Kenshin ova2. I assumed people knew what I meant cos this is the forum for it.

Unfortunetly I won't be able to watch it again until Wednesday at the earliest. If I remember by then I'll have to check it out to be certain. I purchased it shortly after the initial release and I haven't rewatched it since then.

The new director's cut is worth seeing BTW; it's a little heavier than the OVA, really nails home the depth of Kenshin's burden.

But I like this part of the manga much more. They should sticked to the manga all the way instead of using the 2 later stories in RK TV. Since the manga totally crushes the anime to dust.

Is there any reason known why they didn't stick to it all the way? Was the anime catching up with the manga, did they need to add in filler episodes/arcs? Was there a problem with funding?

Honestly I don't know but I would have prefered to see the manga story in the anime instead. But some parts of the manga story are Reminiscence and Seisouhen. So maybe they wanted to save them til the makings of OVAs. As I said I don't know.

Show got cancelled before they could get to the Jinpuu arc. There wasn't actually an ending to the TV series; they added a post-series coda as a cookie for the fans.
Big problem with Seisouhen is that, in using a selective memory to retell the Jinpuu Arc, they got to interpret Kenshin in a way that Watsuki didn't really intend. The Kyoto arc is an epic adventure story. The Jinpuu Arc is both a character study and a final judgement on Kenshin, by the one person who has the greatest right to punish Kenshin. The entire Kenshin storyline, with the Jinpuu arc, becomes a 3-part Greek act, where his whole life finally comes full circle.
Seisouhen takes that away. While it's plausible that he may have gone in that direction after the manga, it's also rather dishonest how they got him toward that path. That being said, in the director's cut, there's a heartbreaking scene where Kenshin opens up to Kaoru. It's not only you get the sense of his despair underlying his heroic posturing, but that in a way, you also sense he's helpless and a little pathetic. It's completely believable. Plus there's another sequence where Kaoru has never looked more beautiful.
But I'm glad Reminisence was done as a movie rather than TV series. It's the one part where the anime is much stronger than the manga; the director elevates the Kyoto/Jinpuu back story into a Kurosawa-esque epic, which would have been highly unlikely as a TV series. Tomoe is given a level of depth that doesn't exist in the manga. The script has historic and philosophical exposition that doesn't exist in the manga version. You come away from it knowing the darkness of Battousai's soul is the tragedy of that era of Japan itself.

I find this OVA tough to get through. I had read the manga and I much rather have gone with that ending then kenshin's being lost in China. Despite his loss of legendery-ness, I find that there is a decent ending with the whole new generation cycle where his ideasl are carried out by his son but in a different form
Although having scar disappear was something that I felt a bit ambivalent about.
I also didn't like how they tried to fit the whole brother thing in such a short span. There is this one scene in kenshin's manga about kaoru (is that her name) that totally shocked me and I think should have attentino diverted to it.
This OVA wasn't that great in comparsino to the first one , as most people would definitely agree but it isn't a bad thing to see after wtching the series.

From the manga, if they somehow made this into a series
i think a few people would have heart attacks

thank God i had the next volume. THANK GOD.. you know what i mean.

About that . . .
Kaoru's supposed death is why I don't agree with Seihounen's depiction of a self-absorbed, self-loathing Kenshin.
Before Tomoe's death, Kenshin had already decided on atoning for his sins during the war. His motivation was originally a moral one. After Tomoe's death, his atonement became a long, sad journey, a scar of the deepest guilt and emotional heartbreak, rather than just acted by a wiser conscience. He killed his soulmate. He metaphorically killed her twice.
Kaoru's death and Tomoe's ghost intervention changes Kenshin. Not only does he realizes how much he
loving both women, but he begins to understand the depth of their love for him. If Kyoto Arc was about valuing life against after so much death, Jinpuu Arc was about finding once again that life is love, and love is life.
Having gone full circle with his "Enishi trial", you'd have to think Kenshin finally let go of his demons and restored his path of atonement to just a moral one, a
choice. For the rest of his life, he would do right; but it would be their love that filled his soul.
But the movie Kenshin denies that. Without depicting that crucial step, we don't see how much Kenshin really valued Kaoru's love, and we don't see how Kaoru's love and Tomoe's grace eventually saves him.
Rather, we get this conclusion that Kenshin probably loved death more than Kaoru.

Seisouhen isn't something I consider to be truly RuroKen. You can't just take a manga's ending and then tack something else on to it and call it canon. I may sound like a narrowminded manga nazi, but I believe in sticking to canon. The OVA could've been great if they'd animated the Jinchuu Arc the way Watsuki wrote it.
Everything in Seisouhen past the first part is filler. In the manga:
When Megumi tells Kenshin about his condition, he takes it in stride and doesn't become all Angsty McEmo.
Kenshin does give the Sakabatou to Yahiko but doesn't totally retire from swordsmanship. When he does give up the Sakabatou, he takes it in stride and doesn't fall into despair like in the OVA. He can be seen with a bokken on his hip in Yahiko no Sakabatou and Haru ni Sakura.
The idea of Kenji growing up hating his sire is absurd. Yes, Kenji does get angry at him and yank his hair, but he's two years old! Kids go through phases like that. Besides in Yahiko no Sakabatou, Kenshin picks Kenji up and Kenji doesn't seem troubled by it, so it seems like he's gotten over his distaste for his father by then.
Seisouhen would be a fine movie if it weren't about beloved manga characters doing OOC stuff, but as part of the RuroKen world it just doesn't add up in my book.

I hadn't planned on posting again this week but I need your guys' input on a very serious debate Spike and I have going on right now.
Do you get naked in the communal shower?I've talked about my aversion to naked people before, my old gym in Lansing being the capital of naked here in the mid-Michigan area with their only redeeming quality being, at least they had shower stalls where I could get naked in peace without being visually accosted by all the other naked people in range. It's not that I'm insecure with my body or anything, it's just that if I wanted all that nakedness in my life I'd join a nudist colony. Or become an extra on a porn set. You see, I'm just not "in" to letting it all hang out like that and would rather avoid those that are. (Ok there was that one time at Fantasy Fest in my early 20's but that was a long time ago...) Am I really so weird for feeling this way? Should I be frolicking around the locker rooms sporting only the freckles the angels* graced me with?
*My grandma always told me that my freckles were angel kisses. Gotta love the lies you're told as a child. It's skin cancer just waiting to happen grandma!!!

March Madness really starts today as the Big Ten Tournament begins. A number of teams have clinched spots in the NCAA Tournament with wins in their conference tournaments this week. None of them really have any chance of winning the gold ball or even going deep in the tournament...but for some Big Ten teams (I'm looking at you Illinois) the only way into the Big Dance is winning the conference tournament. Wisconsin will play the Illini Friday afternoon at 2pm CST. The first round games today are Michigan-Iowa, Northwestern-Indiana and Minnesota-Penn State.
The Brewers probable Opening Day starter Yovanni Gallardo struggled yesterday giving up 3 runs on 3 hits and 2 walks in 3 innings of work. No worries yet...let's see how he rebounds in his next start. The Brewers play split squad action today against Oakland and Cincy.
One of the best players in the late 90's & early 2000's retired yesterday. Nomar Garciaparra played 14 years, eight in Boston and along with Derek Jeter was one of the premier shortstops in the game. Wrist injuries derailed a probable Hall-of-Fame career. He was a six-time all-star and hit .313 with 229 homers, and 936 RBI's
The high school girls basketball tournament continues tonight in Divisions 2,3 & 4. Area games include Waupaca at New London, Mosinee at Medford, Lakeland at Witt/Birn, Nekoosa at Westfield, Auburndale at Marathon, Amherst at Edgar, Menominee Indian at Gillet, Weyawega-Fremont at Markesan, Colby at fall Crek, Spencer at Neillsville, Phelps at Wausau Newman, Gresham at Wabeno, Tigerton at Rapids Assumption, Rosholt at Almond-Bancroft,Rib Lake at Prentice, Gilman at Butternut, Loyal at Owen-Withee and Greenwood at MArshfield Columbus.
Songs of the Day (from my-ipod)
The Elements-Tom Lehrer (1959) The master parodist enumerates the periodic table sung to the tune of The Major General's Song from "The Pirates of Penzance" . His stuff was a subversive antidote to the stifiling Eisenhower years.
Electric Blue-Icehouse (1987) a synth-pop hit co-written by John Oates. In fact, if this Aussie band wouldn't have recorded it, Hall & Oates would have. Nice mullet!

I was struck by a random observation Thursday afternoon while sitting in the council chambers of the Mount Airy Municipal Building during a meeting of the city board of commissioners.
That realization involved the fact that just about every day, week and month on the calendar is now designated for some special cause, observance or what-have-you.
On Thursday during a special presentation period held during nearly every city commissioners meeting, Mayor Deborah Cochran introduced two worthy proclamations. One was in honor of November being Lung Cancer Awareness Month, while the other recognized National Hospice and Palliative Care Month.
And I recalled that in October, the mayor had issued similar proclamations for the Care Enough to Wear Pink Campaign and Red Ribbon Week, which came on the heels of other declarations for additional causes in previous months.
I agree that there certainly needs to be awareness about lung cancer or the value of hospice programs, and, yes, I did wear a pink shirt one day last month in support of breast cancer victims.
But after looking further into all the other observances that are held during November, I began to wonder if there is enough awareness and concern on the part of myself and others to go around. Not to mention different-colored shirts.
I'll bet you didn't know that November also is dedicated as Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, National Stomach Cancer Awareness Month, American Diabetes Month, COPD Awareness Month, Epilepsy Awareness Month, Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis Awareness Month, Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month and National Prematurity Awareness Month.
And those are just the observances for medical conditions. November's importance further is enhanced by being Native American Heritage Month and National Novel-Writing Month, to name just two others.
Keep in mind that this is just one month out of the year, and for the sake of space I didn't bother to list all the special days and weekly observances held during November.
Now it's a good thing to remind the public that there are issues out there deserving of its attention. Yet having so many things to be aware of creates confusion, in my mind at least, and there is a chance some of the worthy causes being highlighted might get lost in the shuffle.
I mean, should I care about diabetes sufferers one day and victims of epilepsy the next? How do I ensure equal consideration for all?
From the newspaper's standpoint, we don't publicize the fact that proclamations are issued in honor of a special month or week, although we do provide coverage if there's a fundraiser or some other tangible event attached to them.
And if we did choose to publish photos of proclamation signings for all these observances, there wouldn't be enough space in the newspaper to accommodate them all.
Also, there is the welfare of Mayor Cochran to consider. She most certainly would get writer's cramp from signing all the proclamations, as well as grow hoarse from reading them during the council meetings.
In examining the sheer volume of observances, you have to wonder who gives approval for the different days, weeks and months being named for these causes in the first place.
History shows that some of our special days resulted from presidential decrees, such as when Lyndon Johnson declared in 1966 that the third Sunday of June would officially be known as Fathers Day. In a similar gesture, President Harry Truman decreed in 1949 that June 14 would be Flag Day.
However, who decided that March, for example, will be National Nutrition Month or, my personal favorite, Irish-American Heritage Month?
Does Congress do this or is that responsibility delegated to some guy who sits on Mount Olympus like Zeus and hereby declares that April will forever be known as Ingrown Toenail Awareness Month? (I just made that up.)
I certainly don't want to say that it's a bad thing to raise awareness of different diseases and other situations, which ensures that no one forgets these problems exist and folks hopefully will also support efforts to help victims.
In a perfect world, special consideration would be afforded to all those who are suffering 365 days of the year and not just one time.
Since fairness is a concern with all the different causes out there, I would argue this also should include giving a break to those of us who get dizzy just trying to keep up with what week or month is presently being celebrated.
In this vein, I would propose an observance called National Nothing Month, when the objective would be to simply rest up from all the other designated periods and have no awareness about anything at all. This would be similar, in name at least, to the Know-Nothing Party that came on the American political scene during the 1800s.
Of course, I don't know when National Nothing Month could be scheduled, since all 12 months seem to be taken in terms of special periods designated for everything under the sun.

Blog Crushing
Sometimes I encounter a blog that is so simple and original and evocative that I just get sucked right into it and after a few visits it starts to bend my perceptions of the world around me. Via Liivia is one of those blogs. I cannot read a word on it (the posts are in Finnish) but the photos alone are very powerful -- beautifully distilled moments arranged as they are like so much visual haiku. As a result of visiting this blog, I actually find myself more keenly aware, in my everyday life, of a certain cast shadow or the precise color radiating from a patch of sunlight or the exact softness of a favorite sweater.
You have to go.

I tried google translate and it helps, even if it was sometimes confusing and even just random words, but the text seems as sweet and mellow as the photos!

One way to do that is to eliminate outside ownership conflicts, argues the founder and CEO of one leading RIA firm.
�The challenge for our industry is what is your durable business model?� says Rob Francais, founder and CEO of Aspiriant in Los Angeles, which ranked No. 3 on Financial Planning's list of top RIA firms. �How are you going to remain permanently independent?�
Unlike other firms that are party or wholly owned by banks, private equity firms or law firms, Francais -- whose firm manages $6.8 billion in client assets -- makes sure that future generations of Aspiriant leaders will own the company.
�We sold 8.5% of our company last year,� he says, �but that doesn�t make the paper, because we are selling it to younger shareholders for fair market value.�
When the firm completes regular transfers of this sort, it tells its clients. And, in turn, these clients let Aspiriant know they are happy to hear it, he says. �I can�t tell you how many clients emailed us and said, Congratulations,� Francais says. He believes this internal succession plan gives clients confidence that an outside owner won�t swoop in and fundamentally alter the firm�s culture or sell to another unknown quantity.
�If you are owned by a private equity firm that expects a certain return on its investment, then there�s a competing objective� that conflicts with the firm�s interest in serving both its clients and its own advisors well, Francais says. �If you educate clients [about private equity] and peeled back the onion they would say, �I don�t want you to be private equity owned.��
The costs of internal succession reduce the firm�s margins, he says. But Aspiriant made a very conscious choice that this cost was lower than running the higher risk of losing control of the company or diluting the purity of its mission, he adds.
Simply ensuring that your firm isn�t being forced to sell certain products doesn�t go far enough, Francais believes.
�That�s a one-dimensional way of thinking about it,� according to Francais. �You want to create a decision-making environment for the client that is uninfluenced by external forces. You want to be independent of anything. We would assert that is a critical value proposition for clients.�

Watch Part 2 of Leaving Long Island
WLIW21 New York Public Television's new three-part series examines why young professionals are leaving Nassau and Suffolk counties in record numbers and what this could mean for Long Island's future. According to Census data, from 1990 to 2006 the number of 25 to 34 year olds declined 8% nationwide, compared to 35% on Long Island. Lack of affordable housing, high taxes and cost of living are affecting those who want to remain and Baby Boomers who are becoming "empty nesters." LEAVING LONG ISLAND, illustrates why the community must come together to find ways to stop the exodus and ensure that both demographics can keep living, working and raising their families on Long Island.
Hosted by Laura Savini, WLIW21 VP of Marketing and Communications, each episode features interviews with young professionals and highlights from a lively town hall meeting at Hofstra University with professionals, students, academics and policy shapers, moderated by Newsday columnist Joye Brown and former Suffolk County Executive Patrick Halpin and panelists: Marty Cantor, Donald Monti, Lisa Tyson, Richard V. Guardino and Mayors Paul Pontieri of Patchogue, Wayne Hall of Hempstead and Jack M. Martins of Mineola. Part one, "The Crisis" (5/27), offers background on the alarming trend affecting the region juxtaposed against the dream life of Levittown, "America's first suburb," in the 1950s. Matt Crosson, Long Island Association, Inc. President/co-host of WLIW21's Crosson and Welles, also offers his perspective. The second half-hour "Solutions" (5/28) features interviews with Nancy Rauch Douzinas, President of the Rauch Foundation, sponsors of the annual Long Island Index and David Kappel, former Mayor of Greenport, and the finale "Hope for the Future" (5/29) features Paul Pontieri, Mayor of Patchogue, and more thoughts from Douzinas.

In a hurry? A 21-ounce can of blueberry, cherry or apple pie filling can be substituted for the fruit, preserves and raspberries. Spoon the pie filling to within 1 inch of the edge of the yogurt mixture.
To keep your berries from becoming soft and mushy, rinse and dry them just before you're ready to use them.
