Solid Cardinals get it done vs. splashier Dodgers
ST. LOUIS -- It is no insult to the Pittsburgh Pirates to note that the St. Louis Cardinals have moved up in competitive class as they have moved on to the 2013 National League Championship Series.
The results didn't diminish for the Cardinals as they began their second round of postseason baseball. It took 13 innings, but the Cards defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers, 3-2, on Friday night and early Saturday morning.View Full Game Coverage
ST. LOUIS -- It is no insult to the Pittsburgh Pirates to note that the St. Louis Cardinals have moved up in competitive class as they have moved on to the 2013 National League Championship Series.
The results didn't diminish for the Cardinals as they began their second round of postseason baseball. It took 13 innings, but the Cards defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers, 3-2, on Friday night and early Saturday morning.View Full Game Coverage
People unfamiliar with the Cardinals may have looked at the pitching matchup for Game 1 and decided it was no contest in the other direction. In fact, people unfamiliar with the Cards would consider the Dodgers distinct favorites in the NLCS. But these things aren't won on the basis of name recognition and size of payroll.
The Dodgers have an indisputably talented bunch of position players. They are, without unreasonable debate, more talented than the Redbirds in some instances. The Cardinals have no shortstop with the all-around abilities of Hanley Ramirez, no first baseman as accomplished in all facets of the game as Adrian Gonzalez, no player as dynamic, as explosive as Yasiel Puig. The Dodgers would be even more talented were it not for the injury to outfielder Matt Kemp, one of the game's best.
There is a lot of talk around St. Louis about how the Dodgers ought to be good after all the money they've paid these players. In these conversations, the Dodgers are pictured as the extremely rich while the Cards are seen as solid citizens of baseball's middle class.
But this is not a morality play, not a presidential election, and not a class struggle. It is a best-of-seven series to determine the NL championship and the league's representative in the Fall Classic. As we saw Friday night in Game 1, it will be quite a contest.
Even though the Cardinals' position players are not as highly publicized as their Dodgers counterparts, they did belong to an offense that was more productive overall. St. Louis led the NL in runs scored, while Los Angeles was merely seventh.
The Cards were 13th in home runs and last in stolen bases. But they set a 39-year best by hitting an astounding .330 with runners in scoring position. The Dodgers were mortals in this category, at .252.
The Cardinals are a more sure-handed bunch than the Dodgers -- 75 errors to 109 for Los Angeles during the regular season. The Dodgers have an edge in pitching numbers -- a 3.25 team ERA to 3.42 for the Redbirds. But those numbers understate the role of recent additions to the St. Louis rotation such as the astounding Michael Wacha and Friday night's starter, Joe Kelly, who made 12 of his 15 starts for the Cards this year after the All-Star break. Kelly had a 1.91 ERA in the second half of the season, not to mention a 9-2 record.
When Kelly started against the Dodgers' Zack Greinke in Game 1, this was seen by some as a potential walkover. Yes, Greinke won the 2009 American League Cy Young Award, and yes, he is another extremely well-paid free agent who has found a home with the Dodgers. But because Kelly had a newer and somewhat lower profile did not mean the Cardinals were overmatched in this game.
A similar situation will take place Saturday afternoon in Game 2 (3 p.m. CT, TBS) when the Dodgers start Clayton Kershaw, while the Cards go with Wacha. Kershaw has already won one NL Cy Young Award and is the favorite to win another one for his work this season. Wacha has made 10 Major League starts. But over the last two starts, he was as good as anybody in the world.
If you wanted a test of the Cardinals' pitching depth, particularly in the bullpen, the 13-inning victory in Game 1 offered a very healthy perspective. Kelly scrambled in and out of trouble, without his absolute best stuff, but he was still talented and tough enough to make it work. He gave up two runs over six innings, losing no ground to Greinke in the process.
Six Redbirds relievers kept the Dodgers scoreless after the sixth inning, including Seth Maness, 24, Carlos Martinez, 22, and Trevor Rosenthal, 23. Lance Lynn, typically a starter, worked the last two innings and picked up the victory.
"I believe that confidence and success breeds more confidence and success," Cards manager Mike Matheny said. "Hopefully, the guys will feel good about their chances of getting the job done, because we're going to throw them back in there. We trust them in big situations. The only way you can feel good about those is to be in them and have some success.
"Once again, we're exposing some of these kids to things that they haven't been exposed to before, and they keep doing the job. So we just enjoy throwing them back out there."
What you saw in this game may be indicative of a larger truth. The Dodgers may have the more talented individuals. But the Cardinals may be the better baseball team.

Usually we associate hard work with sweat on the brow and perhaps aching muscles, and there is certainly a lot of that kind of work to be done. There are houses to be built, crops to be planted and harvested, there are roads to be repaired, cars to be built, yards to be mowed, you know what I mean.
In 2008, the University of Kentucky Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory broke ground on a $28.5 million expansion and renovation journey. Now the state-of-the-art project is complete and the lab is better equipped to serve Kentucky's animal agriculture industries.
There are some plants that demand good drainage: taxus, coreopsis, gaillardia and penstemon, to name a few. I have lost them all because they were poorly sited in the garden but now that I know where water is slow to drain I now where to plant those trees, shrubs and perennials that like wet environments. There is an up side to poor drainage for some plants, just be sure that water is available when Mother Nature doesn't deliver.
The Mount Washington Farm Service Agency would like to remind area farm owner and operators that the deadline for the Direct and Counter Cyclical Program contracts on grain is June 1.
According to a news release, contracts must be updated in order to receive payments for 2011. Advance payments, of 22 percent of the total, can be requested in any month through Sept. 30.
With spring planting underway, the Farm Service Agency is reminding producers to timely report any prevented or failed acreage to their local office.
Prevented planting acreage, or acreage that could not be planted because of wet field conditions or other natural disaster, should be reported to FSA within 15 days of the final planting date of the crop. This includes crops covered by crop insurance or the non-insured assistance program and crops without insurance coverage.

Something out-of-this-world — think celestial — is happening this Saturday evening. It's the biggest, brightest moon of the year: the supermoon!
The last supermoon was over a year ago, but that was nothing compared to the sky show we're about to watch this weekend. The moon on Cinco de Mayo will appear 14% larger and 30% brighter, with the maximum brightness at 10:35 pm CDT — just at the end of regular observation hours at our George Observatory in Brazos Bend State Park.
But you'll get more than the moon when you look toward the stars this weekend! There will also be three planets in view (Venus, Mars, and Saturn), plus the peak of the Eta Aquarid meteor shower. These meteors are from the tail of Halley's Comet and even with all the moon light, we might see a few fireballs.
That's why you should come join us at the George Observatory to get your front row seat to this Moon de Mayo event. In addition to the celestial show, we'll be screening 2012: Mayan Prophecies — a fabulous Cinco de Mayo astronomy story — in our Discovery Dome.
George Observatory events begin at 3:00 p.m. with a daytime viewings and showings in the Discovery Dome of 2012: Mayan Prophecies. Telescope viewing will begin at dusk and last until 11:00 pm.
This Cinco de Mayo, you owe it yourself to look up. Spend some quality time with the supermoon at George Observatory, and don't miss this awesome astronomical event.

There's still time to plant. To ensure roots have plenty of time to grow, you want all new additions to the landscape -- including spring flowering bulbs and hardy garlic -- tucked into soil about 6 weeks before it freezes.
If you are planting late in the season, give your plantings a leg up by applying a thick mulch (up to 4 inches) of chopped leaves, pine straw, compost, or straw. This will insulate soil enough to postpone a freeze.
Make sure to keep an eye out for rodents. Mice especially love to nest in mulch through winter, and voles love nothing better than a thick cover to burrow beneath.
Test Garden Tip: Dig planting holes now for live Christmas trees you plan to add to your yard next month. Save the soil you excavate, storing it in a place it won't freeze. Fill the hole with leaves until planting time. Use a tarp to keep leaves in place.
Continue to clean up the garden until it's too cold to be outdoors. Work you do this fall will help prevent pests and diseases from overwintering -- and will shorten your spring to-do list.
Fallen leaves provide overwintering shelter for insects. It's a good idea to allow a few leaves to remain beneath shrubs to harbor insects -- good and bad -- which can help feed hungry birds in spring.
On the other hand, leaves piled up against a shed, garage, or home can shelter and provide cover for pests -- including rodents -- seeking winter quarters. Remove these leaves. Chop them and use them as mulch, or add them to the compost pile.
Gather stakes and plant supports from the garden. Store them in a spot where they'll freeze to help destroy overwintering pests.
Fall can be a great time to cut back your perennials if you've got the time and energy to get it done. Make sure to leave 2-3 inches of the plant's stem to help protect fresh shoots from animal damage as they first emerge in the spring. It's also a helpful reminder of where plants are in the yard before they start to sprout.
Consider leaving some perennials standing that add interest to the winter garden -- either by their structure (Achillea, 'Autumn Joy' sedum) or by attracting birds to seed heads (coneflowers, black-eyed Susans).
Ornamental grasses should be left standing to protect their crown from a harsh winter.
Test Garden Tip: Pull spent annuals and toss them in the compost pile. Don't pull stems of self-sowing annuals so plants can seed serendipitously. Birds may also nibble on seeds.
Continue to water plants, especially any new additions during the past year, until the ground freezes. This is vital if autumn rainfall is scarce.
Use the last of autumn's warmer days to take action for your garden's future.
Prepare new planting beds. You can easily start a new bed by layering materials over existing grass. Use a layer of cardboard or wet newspaper (three sheets thick) directly on top of grass, then layer on chopped leaves, compost, straw, shredded bark mulch, etc. Make each layer 4 to 6 inches thick. In spring, you'll discover rich composted matter ideal for planting.
Dress pots for winter interest. Stuff a plastic or otherwise crack-resistant container with eye-catching branches for a winter display. Clip evergreen boughs and berried branches, sticking them into soil. Add dried hydrangea blooms, ornamental grass seed heads, or canes with rose hips. Tuck in pinecones or hedge apples (osage orange) to finish the look.
Refresh mulch on planting beds. Mulch helps moderate soil temperatures, preventing extreme swings, which can create frost heave. When soil experiences freezes and thaws, it can actually push plantings out of soil. Plants typically prone to heaving are Heuchera, iris, and shallowly-planted small bulbs.
For most planting beds, 3- to 4-inch-thick mulch provides sufficient soil insulation. Apply a thinner layer (2 inches max) in areas where you expect self-sowing annuals and perennials to sprout in spring.
Test Garden Tip: Apply deer repellent to trees and shrubs that these pests typically browse in winter. The Swedish product Plantskydd will protect plants all winter long with just one application.
Test Garden Tip: Check hose connections, water wands, and quick connects for mineral deposits, especially if you live in an area with hard water. Remove deposits by soaking items in white vinegar. Alternately, soak a rag in vinegar and wrap it around the item. Follow the vinegar soak with a rag dipped in hot water.

So pretty, sooo slow.
As we make that final turn into the holiday season, there's a horde of new
engines running at us at full speed. Some are brand spankin' new, while some
are licensed or hybrids of licensed engines. The famed Half-Life, for
example, uses some bits and pieces of Quake and Quake
II. Others, like Requiem and Thief, are showing off new technology.
Just how does Dreamworks' Trespasser stack up to the competition? Well, I've got two simple words to describe the game's graphical engine: gorgeous and slow. On the other hand, the game's sound and physics are the best yet, provided you have the system to support them. Technology aside, however, Trespasser's gameplay fails to live up to expectations and players are in for a very basic puzzle-solving, dino-killing experience.
The premise of the game is based on Michael Crichton's two Jurassic Park novels (and later movies). For those who've been living in a cave, here's a little refresher course. Dinosaur blood found, dinosaurs cloned for human amusement, park built on island to house dinos, dinos refuse to be housed, and finally, dinosaurs kill people. Then there's a little twist in the sequel – the actual cloning part is done on a secret island called Site B and the dinos were shipped over to the major island. The story begins as you, compliments of Minnie Driver's voice, crash land on this long-deserted Site B while vacationing in Costa Rica. From there on you've got the usual FPS (first-person shooter) deal: find guns, avoid/kill bad things (in this case, dinosaurs) and try to find safety. However, Trespasser does have many advantages over previous blast-everything-in-sight type games we've seen so much of.
The first and most obvious advancement Trespasser lends to the FPS genre is its sweet-looking engine, the most impressive aspect of which is the gorgeous terrain/landscape. It has the furthest rendering distance of any first-person engine thus far; players have the ability to explore huge, somewhat non-linear levels without the interruption of a loading screen and gaze for what seems like miles across a canyon or landscape. In addition, all 7 species of dinosaurs have an exceptionally high polygon-count and realistically fluid movement. Several other goodies also show their face throughout the game: the water physics top those found in Unreal, the particle system is realistic, real-time shadows are impressive, etc.
Unfortunately, there are a few flaws. While the game's mip mapping system looks and works great for objects a great distance away, there are obvious jumps from mip map to texture map at close range. This results in the constant warping of objects (tress, rocks, boxes, etc.) from low to high detail when walking around. The engine's greatest flaw is not in its mip mapping system, but its speed. On anything less than a top of the line system it's just not worth it. Unless you've got a 333 to 400 MHz PII with serious acceleration like a Voodoo II or TNT (AGP) , be prepared for a lot of chunk and low-resolutions. Even with a Voodoo II-powered 400 MHz PII, I found a lot of slowdown, especially when more than one dinosaur was in the scene. While many engine bugs were fixed in the recently released patch, the speed difference is minimal.
The thing that sets Trespasser apart from its FPS rivals is its sound and physics engine. Everything in the game is a movable object: guns, boxes, rocks, car doors and even dead dinosaurs can be grabbed, picked up and thrown. As in real life, the extent that you can throw an object is based on its weight. Guns, small boxes and tiny rocks can be hurled some distance, while large boxes are impossible to throw and hard to drag around. Also, dropping boxes and other breakable things from a distance will shatter that object and reveal the game's cool particle system. As a result of two objects colliding, the sound system will generate an impact noise based on their structure and velocity. Very cool stuff.
The game plays like any other first person shooter, with a few minor exceptions. Because everything is an object, guns must be manually picked up (the same process as picking up a rock, or box). From here you can move your arm and rotate your wrist. In the end, however, it is much easier to leave the arm straight and rotate the body as most of us FPS fans are used to.
Trespasser fails to break away from the tired, linear, basic gameplay that made the FPS genre so famous. Sure, the levels are somewhat open, but the overall goal of each level is to go from point A to point B with the usual key-finding, enemy-killing, button-pushing nausea along the way. There just isn't much new ground broken.
Unfortunately, despite the advanced physics and gorgeous graphics engine, Trespasser falls far short of its expectations. Though the engine can look damn good, it will only be experienced by those with kick-ass systems…and even they're in for some slow-down. The physics and sound engines are very admirable – if only the gameplay had been up to par. In the end, if you've got a really monster system (and I'm talking REALLY kick-ass), you might want to take a look. Anything less and, well, pass this one up…but don't worry. Plenty of great looking games are on the way and should fit your fancy and system requirements.

It is possible that the main title of the report Three M Syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Three M syndrome is an extremely rare genetic disorder characterized by low birth weight, short stature (dwarfism), characteristic abnormalities of the head and facial (craniofacial) area, distinctive skeletal malformations, and/or other physical abnormalities. The name "three M" refers to the last initials of three researchers (J.D. Miller, V.A. McKusick, P. Malvaux) who were among the first to identify the disorder. Characteristic craniofacial malformations typically include a long, narrow head (dolichocephaly), an unusually prominent forehead (frontal bossing), and a triangular-shaped face with a prominent, pointed chin, large ears, and/or abnormally flat cheeks. In addition, in some affected children, the teeth may be abnormally crowded together; as a result, the upper and lower teeth may not meet properly (malocclusion). Skeletal abnormalities associated with the disorder include unusually thin bones, particularly the shafts of the long bones of the arms and legs (diaphyses); abnormally long, thin bones of the spinal column (vertebrae); and/or distinctive malformations of the ribs and shoulder blades (scapulae). Affected individuals may also have additional abnormalities including permanent fixation of certain fingers in a bent position (clinodactyly), unusually short fifth fingers, and/or increased flexibility (hyperextensibility) of the joints. The range and severity of symptoms and physicial features may vary from case to case. Intelligence appears to be normal. Three M syndrome is thought to be inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic trait.

Man who disclosed intent to burn voting slip, ballot box arrested
A Singaporean's right to vote is slowly turning into a liability. No wonder we have some people who wanted to burn ballot boxes - funny that none of the contesting politicians issued a statement to address the issue.

One must wonder, that if there was so much conspiracy around the time of Obama's birth to make him look like an American citizen...
Why didn't they just arrange to have him born in the United States?

I guess there maybe a class-action lawsuit brewing.
I've always maintained that the "Patriot movement" is 40% truth, 40% absolute nonsense, and 20% unknown.
In so far as this "birther" thing, it would seem to be utter nonsense to me.
I thought the FEC checked for a candidate's eligibility for the Presidency during the election cycle.
Considering that when Obama was born a babtismal certificate (that's all I ever had) was good enough to get a driver's license and/or a job in some states, I'm not surprised if he doesn't have a state issued birth certificate.
Things weren't so damn strict or rigid back then.
Therefore, I agree Vexx, this is becoming a "dog-and-pony" show and is certainly red-meat for Obama's opponents.
Same thing happened with McCaine.
I see it as all a needless distraction by both sides.
Also, I hope Heinlein was wrong.
I can't imagine living in a Christian Theocracy...I'd rather die.
In particular his Health Care law which 46% of Americans would like to see repealed according to Gallup
I think that, and many other issues, is why people are looking for anyway to get this guy out of the Presidential office, and nullifying his election due to him possibly not being a citizen was one avenue.
His race has very little (if nothing) to do with it, unless you're talking about the nutjobs over at Stormfront...then...well, you know.
I watched this clip on Youtube and the latest comment has got to be totally bupkiss.

Obama has got to be a natural born US citizen...otherwise, we in trouble.

It takes very little time to make the vote. ( I didn't even have to queue the last time i had to vote) If you don't like either party, just make some deliberate mistake to void the vote. And you get a holiday to boot. What the guy intend to do is just plain stupidity.

The problem is that all the politicians are pandering to the people of MY year of birth, namely 1988 because of the Dragon year baby boom. My lot is a rebellious and mostly highly educated lot, but as usual, 80+% are the same "consumer-type" bunch who don't do their research before buying or doing something important.
Every generation contribute significantly to the bread and circuses bunch of the society. And the opposition is pandering to that group - I wonder how many of my age are level-headed enough to drop an empty or spoilt vote into the box; the banners around my area are subversive at best with slogans like "give them people's pressure".
I have yet to see any of them address to the issue of incoming hyperinflation with a workplan, and Straits Times is being a bitch for not publishing my email to their forum. I think I would have better odds in the future if I start saving up for air tickets for my mum and me out of this place if shit hits the fan.
For an average Singaporean, whatever policy they implement shouldn't affect our lifestyles much, unless :
1. Mediacorp is privatised
2. GST is raised (at a time like this? Please don't tell me we are going to pump money into Malaysia like what Germany did to PIGS!)
3. SGX merges with ASX.
4. Income tax rate is raised.
I am for compressing government organisations to become flatter with more frequent rotations for higher ranking officials - especially MCYS. They should take out the goddamn "C" if the people they hire are not interested in pushing through bureaucracy or risk their jobs to get aid out to the needy.
@ TRL : You should have called your colleagues blown that goddamn article up to font size 14 and headline size 24.

My point is that the cop went overboard.
You don't punch a unarmed woman that's half your size in the face as a man unless you're a total pussy, and that's what this "professional' Atlanta cop looks like.
I don't know what it's like out where you're at, but here in Denver, that kind of behavior by the police isn't tolerated.
Two Denver police officers fired in videotaped LoDo beating case
As police become more bullish with the citizenry, the citizenry becomes more violent with them.
That's a trend that needs to stop, and cops beating up on woman isn't going to help curb this trend.
In fact, having a "the bitch got what she deserved" attitude is exactly what will escalate hatred between the police and the populus.

He's a pussy for defending himself and getting her to back the F' off? I'm sorry, but if a woman is grabbing your uniform while you are trying to cuff someone, and could claw your freaking eyes out while the situation is escalating, you do WHATEVER you have to do to get them to back off. I'm not being too harsh. I'm being very reasonable. Don't want to get hit by the police? Don't attack them or grab them. And don't even think about bringing size into this. Some of the meanest people on the planet, are in the 100-150 lb range.
Kind of like that little bully in the 4th grade(in Australia I believe?). After socking the big guy once, and trying for a second punch, he got body slammed into the pavement. Bet he won't bully anyone again.
I'd give that policeman a medal. Just because you're a female, does not give you a free pass to do whatever the hell you want to do. Women have been crying for equality and equal rights and treatment for a century. Well you got it. Now you have to lie in that bed you made.

Yes, he is IMO.
These men are supposed to be trained to handle a situation like this, and most departments issue a Discipline Handbook that details what's expected of them in these situations.
Here's Denver's:
There was no need to punch that woman and that is where he made his mistake.
If he's slacked off and hasn't been training in hand-to-hand combat (as many officers do), then that is his fault.
Maybe instead of stuffing his face in an IHOP he should be training in a dojo.

Ya know, when people take frequent breaks it is normally because they are either sick or the product is doing so well that you can afford to take breaks whenever you want. The last volume didn't even chart so it isn't doing well and people are complaining about various things in every part of the fandom. Doesn't the author have a blog?

Dunno about the others, but I'm fine. I just found my old Sims CD and am reliving the joys of killing annoying little Sim kids by infecting them with incurable guinea pig diseases.
Anything that shrieks at me in such an utterly nerve-racking way deserves a slow and painful simulated death.
But back on topic, I guess we can congratulate ourselves for keeping this thread alive for so long. The couple of Japanese FT threads I know died around chapter 18. Kinda hard to believe, but it has been almost three years since FT started being published and sadly, the novel so far is failing to keep the fandom interested. At least in a good way; I know I've bitched about it more than I have praised it and looking at this thread, most of our discussions here are more about GW than FT itself.
Of course, one could blame that on the lack of translations, but that again results from a lack of interest... Or in the case of Deacon, from being traumatized by Tranny S. xD
That reminds me, Wyvern is a dragon-shaped ...fighter plane thing. Am I to imagine it looking like Epyon in mobile armor mode? Because I've had the image stuck in my head for a while now (though I don't remember if Wyvern was a double-headed dragon; all I remember is meow).
That would explain Epyon whizzing about on Mars and the obnoxious amounts of flashbacks. Other than recycling plot and scrapped novels.
By the way, thanks for reminding me of her middle name. I had completely forgotten.

In all honesty, I'm waiting for weed to become legal nationally so I can finally figure out just how high Sumisawa has to be to think the plot is good, or drawing interest still.

Just relaxing. Honestly I've given up on the novel, so boring. I will keep buying it for the art, but the decision to keep going back to the past murdered any since of pacing this could have had and effectivily killed the novel because of how much worthless shit it brought in when even the Japanese fans wanted more Heero (pilot) and we kept going back to Heero (pol).
Still want to see the the suits, Snow White in particular because hopefully it's cool enough that it gets a Gunpla one day. That and they could take and use the suits for stuff like SRW and G Gen and just skip the garbage story.

In all honesty, I kindda, every now and then like the story of Heero Politician... I just don't give a damn about the Peacecraft twins and the whole Robin Hood and marry men deal. Just Heero Politician dealing with discrimination and being arrested for being an activist is cool. All the rest is just garbage.
And it would have been great to see some of Heero Pilot's training, just with less knife throwing and balancing on circus balls, you know, actually gundam piloting training. I've always wondered what made him such a loose canon during those first few episodes when he was clearly unhinged and didn't give a single F*ck about himself or others.

I'm still here. Just silently lurking. Honestly, I think it would have been better if Frozen Teardrop had been split into two seperate stories. One would deal with past events that led up to Gundam Wing and the other would deal with the post-Endless Waltz timeline.
Someone needs to do an intervention with Sumizawa and take his stash. Seriously, whatever he is smoking/snorting/inhaling is not doing him any favors.

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and registered as soon as I saw this thread about FT. I can't believe it, as a true GW fan who grew up with the series, missed this out. Mission failed *presses self detonation switch*.
Anyways I read the FT chapters all till Nocturne of Sorrow V. The next chapter; Rhapsody of lonliness had only a little summary and I read that one as well.
So here my question, where can I find the remaining chapters? I used Inchoate Oevre's translations, but he/she stopped with translating somehow (this is the link I used http://inchoate-oeuvre.livejournal.com/). I really want to read the entire novel of FT, it attracted me somehow so why not read it all.
I tried to read preventer 5 as well, but I couldn't find the other chapters ( I read chapter 1, where Heero and the gang makes the plan with the dummy Wing Zero and stuff). Can someone help me with those remaining chapters as well?
Please do not mind my questions lol, I'm just eager to read the novel as someone who grew up with GW like I said.
Thanks in advance for any support/effort!

The wrap-around covers of Reader's Digest often featured illustrations of bucolic scenes from a simpler time in America. For these scenes, RD's editors commissioned such well established old school painters like John Pike, James Milton Sessions and Warren Baumgartner (below).
Baumgartner must have been particularly pleased to receive this assignment. In his book Illustrator in America, Walt Reed tell us that Baumgartner had a life-long love of fishing.
Like many of Reader's Digest's cover artists, Baumgartner was an accomplished water colourist. He was a member of the Society of Illustrators, the American watercolour Society, the National Academy of Design and the Salmagundi Club of New York.

Lice Happens featured in The Capital Newspaper "Business" Section! By ALLISON BOURG, Staff Writer Tuesday, August 16, 2011 When it comes to their business, M.J. Eckert and Nancy Fields can get pretty nitpicky
Lice Happens featured in The Capital Newspaper "Business" Section!
By ALLISON BOURG, Staff Writer
Tuesday, August 16, 2011
When it comes to their business, M.J. Eckert and Nancy Fields can get pretty nitpicky.
The two Annapolis women earn their living removing lice from people's heads – an unusual line of work that's prone to raising a few eyebrows at cocktail parties.
But that doesn't faze them a bit.
"We've come to love the louse," said Eckert, a former school nurse who dealt with a lice-ridden student every few weeks. "We're not afraid of them. In fact, we love a case where there are thousands."
Next-door neighbors Eckert and Fields started Lice Happens, a mobile lice removal service, 2 1/2 years ago. Since then, the duo has expanded its business into about a half-dozen states along the East Coast. The women, along with their crew of 10 full- and part-time employees, see around three dozen customers each week.
"There's a lot of work, as it turns out," Fields said.
Their biggest months are usually September – not only is it National Head Lice Awareness Month, it's also when children are back in school – and January. The holidays tend to bring families with children together, and if one child has lice, the others can easily get them, the women said.
A typical appointment starts out something like this: One of the women gets a call from a distressed parent of a child with head lice. The parent is often sobbing.
"They give us their lice story," Fields said.
As Eckert put it, "we have to be their therapist, nurse, confidante, adviser. We have to wear a lot of different hats."
Afterward, Lice Happens goes into the home of the infected child, armed with pesticide-free shampoo and a metal "nit comb" to scrape the bugs from the scalp and the hair. The business charges $100 an hour, and the entire process generally takes about an hour and a half for girls, depending on the length and thickness of their hair, and about 30 minutes for boys.
"Although now with Justin Bieber, boys are holding onto their hair, so it can take a lot longer," Fields said with a chuckle.
Lice Happens also screens family members for lice by combing through all of their hair, and leaves them with tips and information on what to do if there's a reinfestation of lice.
"We like to say that we're putting ourselves out of business one family at a time," Fields said. "They may not sound like it's a good business model, but we think it's the right business model. I can't just treat – I have to train and educate, too."
For one Annapolis mom, who did not want her name used, the educational portion of Lice Happens' visit was the most important.
"Once a week, you've got to comb your children. It's just got to be part of the whole hygiene package," she said. "You don't need the chemicals, you don't need to deep clean your home."
Having a child with head lice is emotionally distressing for parents, said Dr. Jim Kalliongis, a Stevensville pediatrician.
"They do a great job of hand-holding," he said.
They're not looking for repeat business, Eckert and Fields say. They're looking for referral business.
It seems to be working.
"We started on Jan. 1, 2009, and our first quarter, our revenue was $2,000," Fields said. "Now we're in the six figures … not the high six figures, but we'll get there."
The neighbors came up with the idea for their business on New Year's Eve 2008, when they started chatting about head lice at a party.
Fields' twin sister, who at the time had a 10-year-old daughter and an 8-year-old son, was dealing with persistent cases of lice in both of her children.
"When my sister called me, she epitomized the typical response of a parent," Fields said. "She was doing loads and loads of laundry, everything was taken out of the closets, everything was in bags."
All that would have been fine if it were working.
"But it wasn't," Fields said.
She and Eckert decided to team up and find something that would help her sister and other parents.
There are so many myths about lice, a six-legged insect that lives in human hair and is most often found in children ages 3 to 13.
The most common misconception, the pair say, is the perception that people who have it have poor personal hygiene, or that they get lice from being in a filthy home or school.
That is absolutely not true, Eckert and Fields emphasize. Lice actually love clean hair, because they can cling to it.
Another myth – that lice jump or fly from head to head. They do crawl, and they can be easily spread by sharing hairbrushes, hats or pillows.
And once you've got a pregnant female louse – who can lay up to five to 10 nits, or eggs, daily – you can have hundreds or even thousands of insects crawling through your hair.
Doctors have traditionally recommended over-the-counter treatments, like Rid or Nix, but over the years, the lice have become resistant, Eckert said. The Internet is filled with suggested home remedies to get rid of lice, including smothering the infected head in salad dressing, mayonnaise or olive oil.
That just makes a big mess, and it doesn't even kill the bugs, Eckert and Fields said.
"It all boils down to combing," Eckert said.

One ominous lesson to take from an otherwise uneventful 3-0 victory over the Padres Thursday night: the Phillies could be in serious trouble if Ryan Madson or Jose Contreras suffer an injury.
Madson was unavailable to pitch last night because of what manager Charlie Manuel termed "soreness." Manuel stressed that Madson was not injured. He threw 21 pitches against the Brewers on Tuesday, his third appearance in four days and his fourth in six days.
"Madson was sore," Manuel said. "He'd been out there three out of four. He was a little sore. Yesterday, he really let loose the ball."
Madson declined to talk about his physical health after the game, other than to curtly say, "I'm fine. I took a day off."
The Phillies should hope he is correct, because Madson's absence highlighted the lack of depth the team has at the front end of its bullpen. If not for a clutch four-out effort from lefthander Antonio Bastardo, who stranded the bases loaded in the seventh before pitching a scoreless eighth, their 3-0 lead could have been in serious jeopardy. After Bastardo allowed a single to leadoff off the eighth, righthander Kyle Kendrick began warming in the bullpen. Kendrick, a starter for most of his career, would have been pitching in a save situation for the first time as a major leaguer. He also would have been pitching on back to back days for just the second time in his career.
But Bastardo came through, retiring four the six batters he faced to set up Jose Contreras for his fifth consecutive save. Contreras has now recorded saves in each of the Phillies last two games and has pitched on four of the last five days.

New-York based designer Thom Browne launched his namesake label in 2003 following a stint at the Giorgio Armani showroom and a leading role in Club Monaco's creative department. Having been awarded GQ's Designer of the Year award in 2008 and twice winning the prestigious CFDA Menswear Designer of the Year Award in 2006 and 2013, Browne's innovative and forward-thinking tailored designs have garnered due industry respect. Using traditional wools, technical flannels and innovative mohairs, Browne reinvents classic suiting with unique proportions, cropped silhouettes and preppy detailing. The label's distinct American preppy aesthetic is subverted by period-specific influences that translate through unique layering and shrunken shapes whilst provocative elements and meticulous cuts place the brand at the vanguard of modern menswear.
The AW16 collection from Thom Browne centres on recollection and the 1920s to 1930s shift during the Great Depression; revising uniforms worn by society's gentleman with mannish overcoats, cropped suiting pants, chesterfields and military coats. The collections moves through the roaring 20s with clean cut pants, crisp poplin shirting and refined waistcoats through to the chaotic Depression period where we see raw-edged detailing, unhemmed finishings and distressed checks and finally into post-Depression with cropped tweed jackets, pristine Crombie coats and sharp bowties. The poignant offering harmoniously juxtaposes deconstructed fabrics against formal tailoring for a powerful and luxurious offering rooted in American history.

When Does a Walk-off Single Not End a game? [VIDEO]
This week's minor league baseball game between the Lansing Lugnuts and the Great Lakes Loons featured a baseball rarity - a walk-off base hit that didn't end the game.
The Lugnuts, the Blue Jays Single-A affiliate, were hosting the Loons in a 4-4 game in the bottom of the ninth with outfielder Chris Hawkins at the plate with two outs and the bases loaded.
Hawkins becomes the hero with a base hit up the middle, scoring what should have been the winning run.
But wait.
In a celebration best described as 'premature', Hawkins is mobbed by his teammates as he nears first base. Included in the mob, the runner on first, who never did head to second base. See the problem here?
The Loons grab the ball, which is still live at that point, throw it to second base, record a force, and after some consulting with the umpires, head to extra innings still tied at 4.
To add insult to injury, Great Lakes won the game 5-4 in 10.
Lugnuts indeed...

The Free Gaza Flotilla
Since August 2008, the Free Gaza Movement has sailed a number of voyages to Gaza. Today the latest voyage was intercepted by the Israeli navy.
The WitnessGAZA website has been tracking the progress of the flotilla as it travels across the Mediterranean Sea using Google Maps. The interception point has been marked on the map with a red map marker.
As well as the Google Map used to track the flotilla the WitnessGAZA website includes embedded videos taken during the voyage.
Tragically when Israeli commandos boarded the Free Gaza Flotilla overnight more than 10 people were killed.
Israel says its soldiers were shot at and attacked with bars and knives.
Audrey Bomse, a spokesperson for the Free Gaza Movement says there was "absolutely no evidence of live fire" from the flotilla.

Description: The gyuto is modeled after the French pattern chef's knife. Longer and slimmer than the santoku, it is suited to preparation of meat and may be used as a general purpose chef's knife. The long blade is needed for the sawing motion required to cut meat and the slim profile keeps the weight low and the balance right.
Made in Seki, Japan, the Al Mar "Ultra Chef" knife is classic and state of the art in performance. Each blade has 33 individual layers of stainless steel -- 16 layers on each side, plus a central core of VG-10 cobalt stainless steel hardened to Rc 60-62 (very hard!) for a keen, long-lasting edge. In the best tradition of knife making, a steel ferrule is forge-welded to the tang to ensure that food particles cannot become lodged between the tang and the handle. These knives are incredibly strong, light in the hand, well balanced, and extremely sharp. The handles are made from select cocobolo wood, long considered one of the world's most exotic hardwoods. High in natural oils, cocobolo holds up well under heavy kitchen use. Each knife comes individually gift boxed.

Sinovel Wind Group Co., a Chinese wind-turbine company, was charged with stealing trade secrets from its former U.S. supplier, a case of industrial espionage that may heighten tensions in U.S.-China relations in the wake of the Edward Snowden affair.
U.S. prosecutors secured an indictment of the company and two of its executives in federal court Thursday in Madison, Wisc. Also charged was Dejan Karabasevic, who pleaded guilty in Klagenfurt, Austria, to stealing source code for the turbine controllers made American Superconductor Corp., based in Devens, Mass., his former employer. The company lost more than $1 billion in market value after the theft became public.
The indictment's timing may give it prominence in the U.S. intensifying dispute with China over economic espionage. That conflict has only been inflamed by Snowden's disclosures of U.S. computer-based spying, and China's decision to allow the ex- National Security Agency contractor to fly to Russia from Hong Kong, where he had fled.
"My 5-year-old understands that this is wrong," AMSC Chief Executive Officer Daniel McGahn said by phone. "If your ideas can be stolen without recourse, there is no reason to invest in innovation, and if there is no reason to invest in innovation, there is no purpose to the American economy."
The indictment is the latest development in a legal struggle between AMSC, a maker of small industrial computers that fit inside wind turbines, and the company that was formerly its largest customer. AMSC,is seeking more than $1.2 billion in damages from Sinovel in Chinese courts, accusing Beijing-based Sinovel of putting the stolen source code in more than 1,000 turbines that it sold in its home country.
Amy Riella and Elliott Joh, lawyers for Sinovel at Vinson Elkins LLP, didn't immediately respond to an e-mail message seeking comment on the charges.
Sinovel, China's third-largest turbine maker, has been battered by global competition and falling prices for its products. Still, the company remains well-connected to China's elite. One of its early investors was the private equity group New Horizon Capital, co-founded by Wen Yunsong, son of China's former premier, Wen Jiabao.
A probe by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which has been developing the case for more than a year, received a boost when Sinovel exported stolen code to the U.S., installing it in four turbines in Massachusetts. One, owned by the state Water Resources Authority, wasn't far from AMSC's headquarters, according to Kerry Farrell, a spokesman for the company.
Paul Tiao, former senior adviser for intellectual property crimes to FBI Director Robert Mueller, said the indictment coming just weeks after Snowden fled to Hong Kong with a trove of stolen NSA secrets is coincidental. Regardless, it "underscores the reason why the administration is demanding that the PRC government stop engaging in cyber-based commercial espionage," said Tiao, now a partner at Hunton Williams LLP in Washington.
When President Barack Obama met Chinese President Xi Jinping this month, he raised the issue of "large-scale theft" of U.S. property through Chinese cyberattacks.
An internal investigation by AMSC uncovered hundreds of messages about the code Karabasevic exchanged with three Sinovel employees, including one e-mail in which the engineer sent AMSC's source code to his counterpart at Sinovel, according to the company.
Using search warrants, the FBI obtained an even bigger trove of communications that Karabasevic swapped via Yahoo! and Google Inc. Gmail accounts with the two charged executives, Su Liying, deputy director for research and development, and Zhao Haichun, technology manager. Like the company, the pair is charged with conspiracy, theft of trade secrets and fraud.
In one exchange, Su Liying complained about error messages she received after testing the stolen AMSC code in China. Karabasevic obliged by modifying the code so that it would run more smoothly.
Prosecutors said Sinovel induced Karabasevic to provide the code, promising him a $1.7 million contract with the company and other perks. The indictment was filed in Wisconsin because Karabasevic allegedly uploaded the code from an engineering center there.
AMSC, which prosecutors said was cheated out of $800 million, has filed four lawsuits against Sinovel in Chinese courts. After almost two years, the cases are still entangled in procedural disputes, John Powell, AMSC's general counsel, said in a phone interview.
Sinovel said last month that it's being investigated for suspected violations of securities laws and regulations.
The company received a notice from the China Securities Regulatory Commission on the decision to start the probe, and will cooperate, according to a May 28 filing to the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The statement didn't provide more details.
Sinovel, based in Beijing, in March revised down 2011 profit by 22 percent to 607.4 million yuan ($99.1 million) due to an accounting error.
