Public parking and better traffic flow played the biggest roles in the Surf City Town Council�s choice of a roundabout for the town.
Public parking and better traffic flow played the biggest roles in the Surf City Town Council�s choice of a roundabout for the town.
A majority of the town council voted Feb. 4 to support a three-legged roundabout, one of two options N.C. Department of Transportation officials say would be viable traffic patterns tied in with the new, high-rise bridge.
�The three-legged roundabout allows for more efficient traffic movement,� Councilman Buddy Fowler said. �Pedestrian traffic will be safer. It also allows more parking.�
The other option � a roundabout with four entrances and exits � would reduce existing public parking spaces. The three-legged roundabout will create anywhere from 15 to 35 additional parking spaces, Fowler said.
Jim Williams, the manager of Surf City IGA, said his chief concern with the four-legged roundabout is that it will reduce existing parking available to the public.
�One of the jewels of Topsail Island is that we don�t have to pay for parking,� he said.
Supporters of the four-legged roundabout argued in a public hearing Tuesday that the option the board chose may hurt businesses along North Topsail Drive, which will essentially be turned into a dead-end street if a three-legged roundabout is constructed.
�I just feel that we�re putting an excessive amount of traffic through New River Drive,� said Paul Dorazio, owner of Maebilt Construction, a business on North Topsail Drive. �With the four-legged you�re at least going to send 30 to 40 percent of traffic down North Topsail Drive. This is the business district and to just cut us off I feel is going to be bad for the business community.�
Sugar Island Bakery co-owner Shawn Smith agreed. His business is also one of about 15 along North Topsail Drive.
�We�re concerned about losing a good bit of the traffic that�s going by us,� he said.
Fowler said that Topsail Drive would still have two-way traffic, just different entry points.
�In looking at this and trying to peer into the future; we do not know what businesses will be in the business here five years from now, 10 years from now or 12 years from now,� he said.
Councilman Don Helms did not support the three-legged roundabout.
Mayor Zander Guy reminded residents that the board was making its recommendation, which may not be the option DOT officials choose to build.
DOT officials decided about a year ago to replace the existing swing bridge, which is more than 50 years old, with a fixed high-rise to improve traffic flow for motorists on Roland Avenue and boaters on the Intracoastal Waterway.
Construction is set to start in 2017.

Just 1 softgel a day is all you need! Peak EPA is purified and concentrated to provide a Peak dose of EPA in every softgel. Peak EPA is clinically proven to increase Omega-3 levels in human muscle tissue and red blood cells.
Wiley's Finest Wild Alaskan Fish Oil is proud to be a member of the GOED organization and support their mission to educate consumers on the health benefits of EPA & DHA and produce high quality concentrated Omega-3 products.
Their manufacturing facility is regularly inspected by the FDA about once a year. Their Quality Assurance department inspects all products throughout the process to make sure each lot meets the high standards set for their Wiley's Finest products. Each carton is signed by the Wiley Family to convey the trust they have in their products and the quality they deliver to their customers.
Unlike many other sources of fish oil, Alaska Pollock is caught for human consumption. Fresh caught fish are filleted, frozen, and processed within hours onboard factory vessels or at shore plants. Then their fish oils are shipped from Alaska to their FDA registered manufacturing facility in Coshocton, Ohio in airtight oxygen barrier containers.
At their Ohio refinery, they combine fish oil with food grade ethanol to make fatty acid ethyl esters. This allows Omega-3 fatty acids to be separated from saturated fatty acids that they don't want. Their cold extraction and further concentration results in up to 85% Omega-3 yield. They then use a molecular distillation process that removes fishy odors and taste, resulting in extremely fresh oil.
Their final step is to carbon filter the fresh, concentrated Omega-3 fish oil to remove any PCB's, chlorinated organ pollutants, and toxic heavy metals. They then encapsulate their fish oil into easy-to-swallow softgels, bottle it up, and insert into post-consumer content product cartons.
From start to finish, their ingredients are 100% US sourced, refined, and packaged by American workers. They are proud to say that they supply the finest 100% American made Omega-3 ingredients!
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is unique about Wiley's fish oil?
Their products are made from certified sustainable, concentrated Wild Alaskan Fish Oil, caught by American fishermen and concentrated by American workers at their family owned & operated plant in eastern Ohio. Most fish oil supplements sold in the U.S. are produced from Peruvian Anchovy Oil, caught in South America. The entire catch is ground up and rendered into oil and fishmeal (what is called a reduction fishery). The fishmeal is fed to farmed salmon, and the oils are used for paints, lubricants, leather tanning, or dietary supplements. Not their fish oil! Their oils are recovered from the eyes, heads, and livers of wild fresh fish caught for human consumption.
Can I take too much fish oil?
The challenge in the western diet is getting enough EPA & DHA Omega-3 from fish, not too much! However, like all oils such as soybean oil, olive oil, or peanut oils, too much fish oil can cause diarrhea. The FDA recommends a maximum consumption of 3g per day of EPA+DHA and no more than 2g per day through supplements.
Will their fish oil products give me fishy burps?
Not typically. Their products are carefully deodorized by American workers. The extra care and attention shows in their extremely fresh tasting oils. Their fish oils are as good or better than any product on the market. However, all EPA & DHA Omega-3 products made from fish oil, krill, and algae taste and smell like fish, so some extremely sensitive palates may detect a mild fresh fish taste and odor, even in otheir products. When EPA & DHA Omega-3s oxidize, they break down into compounds that smell fishy. A good rule of thumb for a fish oil product is to apply the same standard you would for fresh fish from the grocery store or sushi restaurant: if it smells or tastes extremely fishy and unpleasant, don't consume it. All of their products are satisfaction guaranteed.
How is their fish oil produced?
Unlike many other sources of fish oil, Alaska Pollock are caught for human consumption. Fresh fish are filleted onboard factory vessels or at shore plants within hours of the catch. The filets are quickly frozen and the oil is extracted.
How are their Omega-3 fish oil concentrates made?
Their fish oils are shipped from Alaska to their FDA registered manufacturing facility in Ohio in airtight oxygen barrier containers. They combine the fish oil with food grade ethanol to make fatty acid ethyl esters. This allows Omega-3 fatty acids to be separated from saturated fatty acids that they don't want.|
What are omega-3 fatty acids and why are they beneficial?
Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids that are essential nutrients for health. We need omega-3 fatty acids for numerous normal body functions, such as contributing to healthy eyes and supporting cell membranes in the brain; they are associated with many other health benefits, including maintaining heart health.
What is EPA and why is it beneficial?
EPA is eicosahexaenoic acid, a 20 carbon polyunsaturated fatty acid found in fish and algae. EPA has been found to promote a healthy circulatory system and consequently a healthy heart, support proper immune function, support joint flexibility, promote good mood and emotional well-being and is essential for reducing inflammation.
What is DHA and why is it beneficial?
DHA is docosahexaenoic acid, a 22 carbon polyunsaturated fatty acid found in fish and algae. DHA has been found to be essential for memory and cognitive function and supportive of a healthy pregnancy. DHA is a very important structural Omega-3 that provides support for visual and brain development of fetuses and infants.
As a dietary supplement, take 1 softgel daily with food.

Carlson School Alum Wins National Stock Picking Contest
Dan McAllister ('07 BSB) Takes 1st in All-America Student Analyst Competition
Beating out nearly 700 students from 34 colleges and universities around the country, Carlson School alum Daniel McAllister won the first-ever All-America Student Analyst Competition. The competition, sponsored by Institutional Investor magazine group and Mark My Media, ran from September 2012 through January 2013.
"Because it was a short-term competition I wanted to focus on companies that were more volatile," McAllister says. "There was no reason to play it safe so we took all companies in the healthcare and financial sectors and applied our algorithm to those."
McAllister earned his bachelor's degree in finance and international business from the Carlson School in 2007. He then worked as a financial analyst at Jack in the Box, and is now a solution consultant at AXmentor, a privately held technology company. The insightful investor is pursuing an MBA from The University of San Diego School of Business Administration.
Student competitors started their simulated portfolios with $100,000 each. The rankings were compiled across seven industry sectors and one general category, utilizing a proprietary six-factor algorithm developed by Mark My Media. The rankings considered net benchmark outperformance, volatility, net exposure impact, gross exposure impact, long alpha and short alpha.
It was a combination of insight and analysis that set him apart. While McAllister performed the technical analysis, his colleague Adam Husein built an algorithm that ranked companies to consider. It was that algorithm that pointed to undue optimism in one drug development company. It was McAllister's choice to short the stock that clinched his win, when the company's stock price plummeted more than 80 percent near the end of the competition.

Do extraterrestrials exist and have they visited Earth? Lord Rees, the current Astronomer Royal, put it best when he said: "if aliens had made the great effort to traverse interstellar distances to come here, they wouldn't just meet a few well-known cranks, make a few circles in corn fields and go away again".
Despite the lack of evidence, a recent survey in the UK found that an astonishing 52% of adults believe that evidence of aliens has been covered up by the Government and one in ten claims to have seen a UFO.
This exhibition touches on both fiction and 'fact', from War of the Worlds and Avatar through to crop circles and accounts of alien abduction. It asks questions such as what aliens would look like and whether they would be hostile or benevolent.
The history of how society made assumptions about aliens centuries ago is fascinating, especially Leopoldo Galluzo's illustration featuring hairy bat-men and unicorns. It's these types of imaginative drawings and theories that we would have liked to see more of in this display.
Though it's a small exhibition, it is very text heavy. The opinions of scientists and academics are interesting and thought provoking, but they're not as engaging as what people, both past and present, have thought aliens could act and look like. By sticking with this informative, and arguably drier, approach and shunning the opportunity to sensationalise a little, this exhibition has taken the scientific high ground but may struggle to hold the visitor's attention.
Alien Revolution is on display at the Royal Observatory, Blackheath Avenue, SE10 8XJ until August. Admission is free.

Bad Decision Making
While swimming with young fur seals, this dominant, breeding elephant seal came racing over to me, attacking me like a rival male. These large bulls reach up to 18 feet in length and weigh up to 8,000 pounds. That is more than a full-sized pickup truck. Luckily, I was able use my underwater housing to push off from the seal's mouth until I could crawl out of the water.

I've written about Michael Kappel before; he spends most of the day in bed, absorbed in silent meditation and prayer. He suffers from a spinal cord injury, the result of an accident sustained 13 years ago that requires an enormous amount of medication in order for him to maintain a measure of equilibrium amid constant and excruciating pain.
Yet Kappel insists on keeping up his garden in Westwood, and for that, it's worth talking about again. Nearly all of the energy he can muster on a daily basis is channeled into his botanical oasis, which is always undergoing change. He is acutely aware plants do not keep their beauty forever and that there are many options for replacing selections that do not live up to their potential. Once his plants are past their prime, have lost their luster, or have grown so large that they take away too much of the garden's sun, he makes way for something new.
Not long ago, in an entry planter, Kappel decided that an aging bottlebrush tree (Callistemon citrinus) — famous for those bristly scarlet inflorescences — just had to go. In its place, he planted a number of Caribbean agaves (Agave angustifolia 'Marginata'). These agaves make the sort of bold statement that designers typically recommend for garden focal points.
Ironically, yet fittingly, a philodendron indigenous to the same part of the world that agaves call home — the Caribbean Islands, Central America and Mexico — is planted not more than 10 feet away, in the shade of Kappel's front patio. I say ironically because philodendrons and agaves, although they share the same broad geographical habitat, thrive in highly contrasting microclimates.
Agaves relish the ambience provided by a dry thorn forest, while philodendrons prefer a moist cloud forest, perfect for vining up into a tree. Philodendrons, after all, are classified as lianas or tropical vines, as indicated by their etymology (in Greek, philo means love and dendron means tree). Philodendrons are the quintessential tree lovers or tree huggers, as they send out stout tendrils to assist them in clambering up tropical trees. Agave, in Greek, means noble and refers to the unerringly vertical flower stalk for which agaves are known.
Thus, agave and philodendron represent nobility and love, respectively. It is proper that these plants should adorn the entrance to the abode of Michael Kappel. For here is a man who, despite living in constant pain, is the most optimistic person I have ever met. It takes a stout and noble spirit to persevere in such a condition, much less exude hope for the future. Kappel's love is on abundant display in his garden. In the words of William Blake: "I went to the Garden of Love, and saw what I never had seen."
It's really quite remarkable when you stop for a moment to ponder how it's possible to grow a dry climate and a wet climate plant startlingly close to one another, as long as the former sees mostly sun and the latter mostly shade. Horticulture illustrates the larger truth that opposites, if they don't necessarily attract, can definitely flourish side by side as long as the basic requirements of each are met.
Incidentally, the philodendron that Kappel is growing in a terra-cotta pot goes by the name, somewhat misleadingly, of 'Congo' or 'Congo Green.' Although philodendrons are indigenous exclusively to the Western Hemisphere, they have made a home for themselves in tropical regions around the globe, including the African Congo.
Oleander leaf scorch
While I cannot unequivocally state that 'Petite Pink' and 'Petite Salmon' oleanders are resistant to oleander leaf scorch, I would say that a preponderance of evidence indicates that this is so. Oleander leaf scorch, which causes entire branches to turn brown before killing the whole plant, has devastated oleanders throughout Southern California. Yet, according to the following testimonials, and based on many personal observations of this writer, the 'Petite' cultivars certainly appear to be resistant to this plague.
"We planted a half dozen 'Petite' oleander bushes about 14 years ago. They have been thriving and we top them at about 7 feet. We have been topping for at least 6-7 years and they are great."
— Charles O'Connell, Santa Clarita Valley
"You mentioned in a previous column that 'Petite Pink' oleanders are seemingly resistant to leaf scorch; ditto for my 'Petite Salmon' cultivar. Incidentally, my diseased oleanders are all full-sized with white flowers. Some of them I treated by spraying Volck Oil and they are coming back. Others were cut way down first before being sprayed with Volck Oil and they are thriving again, too."
— Kathy Schlesselman, Valencia
Volck and other horticultural oils are effective at smothering nymphs of the glassy-winged sharpshooter insect that vectors or transmits the bacteria that cause oleander leaf scorch. To ascertain that nymphs are present, place yellow sticky traps in your oleanders and regularly inspect them. When nymphs are seen on the traps (actually, they're just sticky yellow cards) it's time to spray.
A similar phenomenon seems to be at work with giant whitefly in relation to hibiscus. It has been noted that some flower colors are more susceptible to giant whitefly infestation, which has been ravaging hibiscus in our area for around 20 years, than others.
I have been observing a certain salmon-orange hibiscus cultivar, which looks like 'Hot Pepper,' for many years. It grows on the west side of Hazeltine Avenue in Sherman Oaks, between the freeway overpass and Milbank Street. Besides showing off exquisite blooms, this hibiscus has never exhibited a trace of whitefly. I cannot help thinking that this cultivar is simply resistant to the pest.

Trend Watch: Are Arrows the New Antlers?
For a few weeks this summer, vintage archery arrows were all the rage on some of our favorite design blogs, and with good reason. A group of these, with their vibrant colors and elegant forms, would look lovely arranged in a vase, displayed in a shadowbox frame, or even suspended from the ceiling in a DIY mobile...
Looking at arrows like these always seems to bring us right back to summer camp in the Sierra woods. Like the ever-popular antlers, they have the potential to give a room an earthy, nostalgic feel, an appealing contrast to a sleek, modern aesthetic. Some of our favorite trendsetting bloggers—at The Estate of Things, Poppytalk, and Making it Lovely (whose vase of arrows is the top photo above)—have shared the idea in recent months. Do we detect a motif that will soon emerge on throw pillows and tote bags?
If you want to get a hold of some vintage arrows of your own, Etsy and ebay are good bets. Sweetshorn Vintage has sets of six arrows for $40 (as well as some other super-fun vintage finds!), and Hello Victory's Etsy shop has them individually for $8 apiece. Search "vintage arrows" on ebay and come up with a few more options... we saw a pretty honey-colored cedar set of 23 that was bidding at about $15-$20.
On the fancier, more collectible end, Three Potato Four has a complete antique archery set (fifth photo), with a hand-painted metal case and a set of beautiful arrows, for $185.
What do you think of this look? Does it make you feel nostalgic too?

Irish Gov't Trying To Sneak Through Massive Copyright Law Changes Via Questionable Legal Process
from the this-won't-look-good dept
However, the Irish government has responded to that legal ruing by trying to sneak three strikes into the law with no notice and no public discussion. Apparently, the current government is in its "final days," and the current group of politicians is pushing to get this done before the government changes over. Of course, a huge change to copyright law is supposed to involve public discussion and debate and a real vote. But that's not happening here. I don't fully understand the way the Irish government works, but this sure sounds like trying to sneak a massive copyright law change through a backdoor loophole:
The legislation is expected to be sanctioned by the present Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Innovation Mary Hanafin TD before Friday.Considering how controversial three strikes is, it's rather stunning that elected official in Ireland would sneak through such an anti-consumer change. It's also going to massively damage the view of Ireland as a "tech hub," since this sort of law is simply a transfer payment type of law, passing off one industry's failures to adapt on the tech industry. The article also quotes an Irish law expert who notes how this move seems to violate basic procedural rules for establishing new laws in Ireland:
A statutory instrument is secondary legislation -- only the Oireachtas can pass primary legislation -- and as such is the only way changes can be made to legislation in such a tight timeframe.
Internet law expert TJ McIntyre says the legislation is premature in light of the Taoiseach promising a review of Irish copyright for the digital age. He said it is also premature in terms of a case taking place in the European Court of Justice between Belgian publishers group SABAM V Tiscali (Scarlet).Of course, when it comes to the entertainment industry, they never seem to care about actually following the rules in order to get their favored legislation passed. In the meantime, could those who usually chime in supporting everything the entertainment industry has to say explain what's wrong with actually going through the normal process to put a law like this in place? Is the industry really so afraid of allowing public debate on this issue that they have to sneak it through backdoor loopholes?
"What's happening in Europe is similar litigation over the obligation of ISPs to conduct filtering and the question is what does European law require regarding injunctions against ISPs?
"To my mind, you can't legislate in Ireland until we've seen the judgment from Europe.
"There are also procedural issues -- normally, if you legislate you have to have completed a regulatory impact assessment beforehand, as well as a public consultation. Also, if there's a breach found in a law then it would be normal to discuss it with the European Commission," McIntyre said.

South Dakota Women Routed at IUPUI in Summit League Play
Even though it's early in the Summit League season, the IUPUI women's basketball team had a score to settle with South Dakota, after the Coyotes handed the Jags two of their four conference losses last season, and then, for good measure, eliminated IUPUI from the Summit League Tournament with a semifinal win.
Thursday night in Indianapolis, the Jags got their revenge, beating the Coyotes 80-59.
Both teams shot the ball very well in the first five minutes - 62% - as Lisa Loeffler scored 7 early points for USD, DeAirra Goss 6 for IUPUI and the Coyotes were up 12-11.
But South Dakota went cold soon after, shooting just 21% over the next 13 minutes, while the Jags went on a 16-5 run to open up a ten point lead.
Goss finished the first half 8-of-12 for 17 points. Polly Harrington helped keep USD in the game with 11 first half points. 41-31 IUPUI at intermission.
The Coyotes stayed within striking distance for the first 4:30 of the second half, but when the Akilah ran off seven straight points, it keyed a 15-3 IUPUI run over the next five minutes and the lead was 21.
The Jags shot 51% and were led by Goss with 27 points. Sims added 15.
USD shot 43% and had just one player in double figures, Harrington with 18 points. Leading scorer Nicole Seekamp, in just her second game back after missing two with an ankle injury, was 0-for-3 and did not score in 22 minutes. Raeshel Contreras, who had led the Coyotes in five of the last seven games, was 1-for-9 for 6 points.
USD did welcome back Kelly Stewart, who was playing in her first game since 2012, after missing last season with an injury. Stewart logged 13 minutes and scored 7 points.
The Coyotes (9-8/0-2) play at Fort Wayne Saturday at 1:00pm.

The Left MUST Take Our Guns!
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet
I want to clear the air, to explain something that ought not need explaining, but apparently does.
America's Founding Fathers did not create the 2nd Amendment to make the country safe for hunters and sportsmen. The right to keep and bear arms was guaranteed American citizens to provide them/us the means to protect ourselves from a tyrannical government that we might some day be dumb enough to elect to office.
Of course, we KNOW that will, ahem, never happen, right?
OK. Moving right along ...
One other thing: The Second Amendment is "the guarantor" of all the other amendments, too. Without the Second Amendment, the Constitution and the the Bill of Rights would not be worth the paper (or parchment) they are written on.
I mean, come ON folks! Consider how the Constitution and the Bill of Rights have been devalued today, especially under the communist regime of Obama and the CUDS Party. (CUDS Party = Communist/Union/Democrat/Socialist Party)
Look. Gun owners in America know they are under threat from the Obama Regime. They KNOW THAT! They are moving quietly and quickly to preserve their personal armories.
Why, a strange thing is happening nationwide. Guns are just disappearing. Yes. They are being lost, somewhere, somehow.
Laugh, if you will, but gun owners have told me how their own weapons are, uh, going missing. Come to think of it, I think I might be missing a semi-automatic, or two. Humm.
Not to worry, though. I expect that when trouble begins those missing weapons will turn up in a cache somewhere in the midst of a swamp or the deep woods.
I have no doubt, at all, that the Obama Administration will make a move to strip Americans of guns -- and soon. First it was necessary for him to regain the Office in a second term in which he would be immune from the anger of the voters. He has now done that. The door is now wide open and I fully expect him to step through it, the narcissistic ideologue that he is. He can't help himself.
Back in 2011 it was reported: "March 30, 2011, according to The Washington Post, Sarah Brady—head of the gun-ban lobby formerly known as Handgun Control, Inc.—met with President Obama, who she said brought up the issue of gun control "to fill us in that it was very much on his agenda."
According to Brady, as reported by the Post, President Obama told her, "I just want you to know that we are working on it," and "We have to go through a few processes, but under the radar." SOURCE: http://www.nrapublications.org/index.php/11920/obamas-secret-plan-to-destroy-the-second-amendment-by-2016/
You may recall that just days after his reelection Obama signaled the UN that his administration WOULD support the UN Small Arms Treaty. I'm convinced it's a part of Obama's plan.
Look for American gun owners to be hit from every direction when they make their move -- legislation, Presidential Executive Orders, international treaties, healthcare (as in Obamacare) -- the works!
I would suggest Americans be mindful of Presidential Executive Orders to such agencies as Department of Homeland Security, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, -- and -- let us not overlook Obamacare. See, the medical costs of gun violence WILL become an immediate healthcare problem in America.
We recommend you take a look at The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Section 2716. The folks at Ammoland.com had this to say on their site: "... as the law requires Americans' medical information to be culled and entered into a national database.
Centralizing these medical records will allow the FBI to troll a list of Americans for ailments such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) to deny them their gun rights, in the same way that the Veterans Administration has already denied more than 150,000 veterans their right to bear arms."
Read more here: http://www.ammoland.com/2012/06/28/obamacare-decision-means-feds-will-continue-to-cull-gun-owner-information/#ixzz2E28fKL4S
Look. I'm old enough to remember that back in the bad ole days of the Soviet Union, if you did not agree with THEIR socialist government you were ruled mentally ill by government doctors and sent away to "hospitals" where you were "brainwashed" until you DID agree with the Socialist government of the USSR.
Now that we have our own socialist government AND socialized medicine here in the good ole US of A, what makes you think it will be any different here, huh?
Rest assured that at some point, in the not too distant future, there will be an incident in which large numbers of people will be victims of gun violence. THAT will be the catalyst, the trigger, to unleash the gun control tsunami. The Obama Regime never allows a good crisis to go to waste, even if THEY have to create the crisis.
The Obama assault on the Second Amendment is coming as surely as day follows night. If you don't believe that -- then you're kidding yourself.
You see -- the left MUST relieve us of our weapons to assure Obama a third term. It's really quite simple.

Real Scarcity Is An Important Part Of A Business Model; Artificial Scarcity Is A Terrible Business Model
from the business-modeling-for-fun-and-for-profit dept
Denying customers the films they want, on the devices they want to watch them, when they want to watch them is not a great business model. It leads to piracy, as we have discussed here many times, but more importantly it also leads to the loss of a transaction to a competing form of entertainment.He points out that this certainly will disrupt some players -- but for the studios, it will undoubtedly increase the pie. It may hurt the gatekeepers, but it helps pretty much everyone else.
I've argued this point many times with film executives. They insist that they need their windows. They argue they need to manage access to their films to extract every last dollar from the market. That just doesn't make sense to me. If they went direct to their customers, offered their films at a reasonable price (say $5/view net to them), and if they made their films available day one everywhere in the world, I can't see how they wouldn't make more money.
The one quibble I'd have with Fred's post is he keeps saying that scarcity is a bad business model. I think he's overstating his case a bit. Scarcity remains, and scarcity is still a key part of a smart business model these days. What is a bad business model is relying on artificial scarcities -- scarcities that are created by choice and by fiction -- rather than market realities. A seat in a movie theater is a real scarcity. Fred's attention is a real scarcity. Those are important parts of a real business model. Pretending an infinitely copyable video is not... is an artificial scarcity and it's a bad business model.

Robinson debut ball to be auctioned
When Artie Gore made his major league debut, his fellow umpires autographed a ball and gave it to him as a keepsake.
Now it's being auctioned off for more than $20,000 — and not just because it was used in an umpire's first game 66 years ago.
It also was Jackie Robinson's first game, the one that broke the color barrier.
"Somewhere in between Nat Turner and Barack Obama was Jackie Robinson on April 15," Richard Flaherty, Gore's nephew, said. "I don't know if he hit that ball or not, but in terms of American history, it was pretty important."
The ball had been in a box of memorabilia in Flaherty's father's home in Watertown, Mass., its significance unknown, for about 15 years. On Tuesday, it will be auctioned off on the second day of FanFest at the All-Star game being hosted by the New York Mets.
David Hunt, president of Hunt Auctions, knew the ball was valuable as soon as he saw it last year at the home of Edward Flaherty, Richard's father, who died in November at the age of 95.
"All I needed to see on the ball was the date of April 15, 1947," said Hunt, whose company is running the auction. "At the minimum, you know it's going to be of some significance."
On that day at Ebbets Field, Robinson played first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers, and Gore umpired at third. The Dodgers beat the Boston Braves 5-3.
Afterward, the other two umpires signed it for their rookie partner. On one part of the soiled ball is the inscription — Babe Pinelli + Arthur. On another section, are the words — To Millie from `Al' Barlick. Robinson didn't sign it.
Millie was Gore's wife and the sister of Flaherty's father. Gore died in 1986 and his wife died in 1999, Flaherty said.
"After my aunt died, we just boxed the stuff up, and my father took it," Flaherty said. "It's been sitting in a room in his house for 15 years."
When he started going through the box, he found "mostly old photos and a couple of balls." He didn't think he'd come across any valuable items.
But then a friend looked at one ball and was intrigued.
"He said, `that's the Jackie Robinson game.' It was also my uncle's first game in the majors," Flaherty said.
The ball was expected to fetch between $10,000 and $30,000. By Monday evening, before Tuesday's live bidding, the highest online bid was $21,437.
Flaherty and Hunt don't know when the ball was used during the game or for how many pitches.
"We're very, very cautious in how far we go to describe something," Hunt said. "Could it have mathematically been the first ball used? Absolutely. But is there any way to legally prove that and do we want to represent that to our clients? No."
As a youngster, Flaherty would go from his home in Watertown to Gore's in Lexington, Mass., and see player-autographed balls that his uncle had collected.
Now 66 and living in Falls Church, Va., near Washington, Flaherty retired recently. Originally, he thought the proceeds from the ball and other items Gore collected would help pay for home health care for his father. Now the plan is to divide the money among family members.
That might not amount to much for each person unless you include another treasure that Gore had stashed away in his home — a jersey that Ted Williams is believed to have worn between 1946 and 1948.
"It was a zipper-front (shirt) of the mid-40s, which are extraordinarily rare," Hunt said, "and that was at the peak of his career."
Flaherty doesn't know how Gore got it, although he said Gore and Williams were friends.
"It was just hanging in the hall closet for 30 or 40 years," Flaherty said. "We didn't appreciate how potentially valuable it was."
How valuable?
Try $100,000 to $200,000. That's the estimate Hunt Auctions has placed on it. The online bidding reached $78,396.
The company guarantees all its items to be as represented.
"There are things that I'll be able to look at that are not authentic. Neither of these presented any issues whatsoever," Hunt said. "Having done this for so long, I absolutely can say that when I saw the jersey I knew what it was right away.
"When you hold a jersey of Ted Williams, it does give you chills as a baseball fan. How could it not?"
Flaherty and family members weren't quite so excited.
"I hate to admit it, but we're not baseball fans, so we didn't know," he said.
He knows enough now to attend the auction with some relatives and find out how big the payday will be.
"We're going to make a family event of it," Flaherty said. "It's a good excuse to get together."

Only in Hollywood could a tiny, low-budget tale of a little girl named Hushpuppy who lives in the bayou take on a historical epic by master filmmaker Steven Spielberg about the 16th president's struggle to end slavery and the Civil War.
But "Beasts of the Southern Wild" and "Lincoln" will both be vying for best picture and best director at the 85th Academy Awards ceremony, after Thursday morning's Oscar nominations saw some shocking omissions, delightful surprises and Oscar history being made.
Rounding out the nine best picture nominees are: "Zero Dark Thirty," "Argo," "Les Miserables," "Life of Pi," "Silver Linings Playbook," "Amour" and "Django Unchained. The other nominees for best director are Ang Lee for "Life of Pi," David O. Russell for "Silver Linings Playbook," Michael Haneke for "Amour" and Benh Zeitlin for "Beasts of the Southern Wild."
The nods put Spielberg on track to win his third Academy Award for best director and solidify his position as one of the industry's most lauded filmmakers. Not that his standing was in doubt: Thursday's nomination is his seventh best director nod. It's an honor he has won twice before -- for "Schindler's List" and "Saving Private Ryan."

Washington State Recovery Plan for the Western Gray Squirrel
Threatened and Endangered Species - Recovery Plans
Date Published: November 2007
Number of Pages: 140
Author(s): Mary J. Linders and Derek W. Stinson
The western gray squirrel is a native arboreal squirrel best known for its large size, gray pelage, and plumose, white-tipped tail. Western gray squirrels are often confused with introduced eastern gray squirrels that are increasingly common in Washington's urban areas. Historically, western gray squirrels in Washington were widely distributed in transitional forests of mast-producing Oregon white oak, ponderosa pine, and Douglas-fir. Western gray squirrels play an important role in maintaining oak woodlands by planting acorns and disseminating spores of mycorrhizal fungi that aid tree growth.
During the 20th century the Washington population of western gray squirrels experienced great reductions in both numbers and distribution. The species now occurs as separate populations in the Puget Trough, Klickitat, and Okanogan regions that are estimated to total between 468 and 1,405 individuals. These three populations are genetically isolated from one another, and have been isolated from those in Oregon and California for at least 12,000 years. None of the three current populations seem to be large enough to avoid a decline in genetic diversity and at least two may suffer from the negative effects of inbreeding.
The western gray squirrel was listed as a threatened species in Washington in 1993 by the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission, and its native oak habitat is recognized as a Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Priority Habitat. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service considers the western gray squirrel a "species of concern†in western Washington, and the U.S. Forest Service recognizes it as a "sensitive†species and a "management indicator species†for oak-pine communities. Washington populations of the western gray squirrel have not recovered from past reductions in their range and existing populations face significant threats to their survival. The western gray squirrel is vulnerable because of the small size and isolation of remnant populations. Major threats to the western gray squirrel in Washington include habitat loss and degradation, road-kill mortality, and disease. Populations of eastern gray squirrels, fox squirrels, California ground squirrels and wild turkeys are expanding and may compete with, and negatively impact western gray squirrel populations. Competition with eastern gray squirrels may be an important current issue for the Puget Trough population and in southwestern Klickitat County, while fox squirrels may affect western gray squirrels in portions of the Okanogan region. California ground squirrels, which became established in Washington in the 20th century, may compete with western gray squirrels in Klickitat and Yakima counties.
Habitat has been lost to urbanization and other development, particularly in the south Puget Sound area, and to catastrophic wild fires in Yakima County and the Okanogan. Conifer dominated stands of large diameter and mast-producing trees of pine and oak with interconnected crowns are particularly important in the life history of the western gray squirrel. Logging that removes the large mast-producing trees and results in evenly spaced trees with few or no canopy connections reduces habitat quality. Habitat also has been degraded by fire exclusion and historic over-grazing. In the south Puget Sound area oak woodland is being degraded by the invasion of Scot's broom. Road-kill is a frequent source of mortality for western gray squirrels and is known to be a major source of mortality for the Puget Trough population. Notoedric mange, a disease caused by mites, periodically becomes epidemic in western gray squirrel populations and appears to be the predominant source of mortality in some years. The incidence and severity of mange epidemics appears to be related to stresses in the local population precipitated by periodic food shortages.
Recovery actions are needed to maintain and restore western gray squirrel populations in Washington. The recovery plan identifies western gray squirrel recovery areas and interim recovery objectives for these areas. The recovery plan outlines strategies intended to restore a viable western gray squirrel population in the South Cascade Recovery Area and increase and maintain populations in the Puget Trough and North Cascades recovery areas. The western gray squirrel will be reclassified from State Threatened to State Sensitive status when management plans, agreements, regulations, and other mechanisms are in place that effectively protect the habitat values for western gray squirrel populations, and the following population levels are maintained:
Recovery objectives may be modified as more is learned about the habitat needs and population structure of this species. Increasing and maintaining a population in the Puget Trough and the North Cascades may require augmentation with individuals from healthier populations. Western gray squirrel recovery strategies include protecting and monitoring populations, restoring depleted populations and degraded habitat, and protecting suitable oak-conifer habitat from harmful timber practices, catastrophic fires, and loss to development. Research is needed on the habitat requirements and factors limiting western gray squirrel populations, the role of disease in dynamics of populations, and to refine survey and population monitoring methods. Successful recovery of the western gray squirrel in Washington will depend on cooperative efforts of large and small private landowners, Native American tribes, counties, and multiple public agencies.

Charles Stichler, Texas Extension agronomist, says with current high costs of energy and other crop inputs, farmers have to understand plant physiology to capitalize on basic production practices: when and how much to irrigate, the type of fertilizer and insecticide to use, and how much and when to use it.
"In crop production, pretty good's not good enough," Stichler said during the recent Crop Nutrient Management Workshop at the Texas A & M Research and Extension Center in Weslaco.
"Without water nothing happens," Stichler said. Water does more than keep a plant from wilting; it is the blood system, moving nutrients around, enabling growth and new cell formation. If a producer takes care of insects and applies fertilizer correctly but does not irrigate properly, his energy and money have been wasted.
"You can't think of water and fertilizer as two separate things, since they work together," Stichler said.
A cotton producer using typical furrow irrigation can count on about 40 pounds of lint per inch of water. Because drip irrigation supplies nutrients on a regular basis, 75 to 80 pounds of lint can be expected for the same amount of water. Grain sorghum will produce about 300 pounds of crop per inch of water and corn about 5 bushels. "So the leafier the plant, the more water evaporates through the leaves, the more photosynthesis, the higher nutrient uptake, and the higher the yield potential," he said.
Stichler noted the importance of not wasting sunlight. Though a producer has no control over the sun, he does control how the sunlight hits his crop. Though he believes in narrow row spacing, Stichler warned not to overplant. With cotton, he recommends a maximum of 50,000 to 55,000 plants per acre. If planted heavier the canopy will be too thick for the sun to penetrate.
With cotton, the first ten fruiting nodes account for about 95 percent of the value of the crop. "Without sun, the bolls set in the first and second positions go down quickly." Longer season varieties of all crops have a higher yield potential because they grow more leaves and nodes to capture more sunlight and convert it to energy.
In most crops, yield potential is set in the first half of the growing season. At first bloom, 95 percent of the cotton that will be harvested is already on the plant, so farmers must be aware of what is happening in their fields early on. Stichler advises marking a calendar at planting time and again 40 days later, when cotton begins its reproductive stage and requires not only exceptional nutrient management but insect management as well.
"About 40 days before bloom, when the cotton flower is just beginning to form, insects can already be tearing up the future little squares that are going to be in the terminal." With corn and sorghum, by the time the plant flowers, all the ovules that will become a seed are already on the plant. By marking planting time on a calendar then adding 40 days, the farmer will know that his plants are entering the stage when they are starting to produce reproductive forms.
This rapid growth stage takes place between 40 and 70 days when the sorghum head is developing and the number of seeds on a corn cob is being set. "If you don't have the water and nutrients there during that time you'll have reduced yield potential."
He warned of the danger of charcoal rot on sorghum if it is stressed during this period. By marking his calendar when a corn or sorghum plant blooms, a producer can count 35 days forward and apply the last furrow irrigation. Fifty days after bloom, corn and sorghum crops will have completed their growing cycles and will have reached physiological maturity.
Most important to a successful crop is to see what's happening in the field. "Don't just ride around in your truck. Get out there and examine the soil and the crop," Stichler said. "Remember, the best thing a farmer can put on his field is his shadow."

General Question
Why does my wordpress structure keep failing?
Hi, I've been developing a wp site, the only plugins I use are custom post types and post type converter, and the theme is built from scratch, based on a simple theme I used before, with no problems. Everything but the post types creation are coded. Works great.
I built the structure as this: a "published works" post type, with a main category "published works" and 3 child categories: "books", "magazines" and "bulletins". Then, I created pages with the same structure, and coded the theme so it shows the lists of all the items in that category and then a single page that shows the selected item in detail.
So, when I go to the "published works" parent page, It shows 6 items of each category, and clicking on one of them takes you to that item in detail. All with thumbnails, etc, very cool. I also included a child pages list on a corner, so you can go directly to the child pages from there, but clicking on "books" there, it gives me a 404 error. I checked the debugging, it said I should include a sidebar page. I included it, but it still 404's me. Maybe changing the category_names will do, it may be conflicting with the names of the pages,... but nothing. Is there a rule about post types and categories I'm overlooking? ("you shouldn't do this or this, try this because it conflicts with…" etc?)

OrthodoxWiki talk:Community Portal
I took off the 'To Do' list because so much of it was done - that's great! I just sent out an email to the OCA Clergy list soliciting contributions. More solicitations to come. FrJohn
Does anyone know how to add bookstores to the book list that comes up when you click on an ISBN number? It seems a little sparse right now. It would be great to add Orthodox sellers like light-n-life.com, svspress.com, eightdaybooks.com, and so on. FrJohn
Just as a general note: if you can't think of what to work on, a good place to start is Special:Wantedpages. There's still a lot of basic stuff needing coverage there. --Rdr. Andrew
- I was just going to do that, and I cannot determine where articles on priest, deacon, bishop, hieromonk, etc. should go. I was thinking an "Orders" subcat in "Ecclesiology". --Basil 20:05, 24 Jan 2005 (CST)
Just created OrthodoxWiki:Meta Reflections for discussions about the kind of endeavor we're engaged in here. FrJohn

Andrew 09:10, 25 Jan 2005 (CST)
- Sounds good -- then this page will be a portal to the whole realm of OWiki community discussion, yah? Also, let's add something like OrthodoxWiki:Chatter, i.e. reverse links and "what they are saying" :-). FrJohn 14:59, 25 Jan 2005 (CST)

Frisco, Colorado—Saturday, April 22, 2006 was a milestone for the SOS University program in Summit County. Thirty students completed their requirements for the year. Four of those students were the first class to complete the program from Summit County. The graduates learned how to snowboard and they became dedicated community members.
The University Program is a four year follow-up to the first year Learn to Ride program that helps SOS students build resiliency and protective factors in their lives. The students are matched with mentors who teach the SOS core values of: courage, discipline, integrity, wisdom and compassion. The mentors provide guidance and support to their youth during on hill activities and community service projects.
Each year the participants snowboard for five days and they complete community service projects. During a student's fourth year, the students complete an internship and a job training program.
The graduation ceremony is an appreciation event. The community mentors provide positive feedback to each of their SOS students. They recognize each student's achievements during the previous year, and the students thank each of their mentors.
"I cannot wait for next year, said Theresa Bisio, SOS University Coordinator. "I had eight mentors who were truly committed to youth development, and there were thirty participants dedicated to community development. They made my job easy.

I place the seed packets in birthday cards that I send to my friends. Sending a packet of flower seeds is like sending a bouquet of flowers but a whole lot cheaper.
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.

Recalling off the back of my head. Some parts maybe off a little.
- Basically Fate thinking back, etc about the interesting stuff that happened post-JS incident in November.
- Short post night training stuff for rookies, nothing special aside from Zafira being chirped about by... Alto and Lucino? @_@
- Mariel and Ginga had been converted into Lindy's crazy-tea-o-lics, them kinda liking it, while Genya goes @_@ at them liking it. Ginga's arm and all that are all about okay by then.
- Rookies lazing and eating. Subaru and Tea forgot that they have some time off, and got lectured by Vita about it. Subaru makes plans to visit Quint's grave and Tea to Tida's. Both at the same... Waterfall Memorial Garden or something, even the placing is very close.
- Vivio finishing check-up by Shamal. Vivio is already studying (( not at school yet )), and has gotten concepts of Mid-Belka magi, and has some grasp on maths. (( since Nanoha magi is all about calculus, etc )). They haven't decided on a school, but they're considering the place Schach recommended.
- Verossa and Hayate chat. A little touch on character quirks, but the emphasis was on "It was because of my Aces/StrikerS, I SUCK as a commander" and had Verossa consoling her with cool, nice words, etc.
- The problem with Regius was indeed a big problem in HQ. But as far as things are concerned, the things moving about will lead a way to a different revolution in management and stuff. And they start talking about the future, years to come, and the next-generation nonsense like they're 70 years old. No CYBORG CRACK for you here, Chaos.
More later. >_>

Hayate should be hanging her head for this ... (skips rest of very worn rant).
2) That will make it a S-class equivalent attack.
Uh-huh. To be fair, the Numbers' crimes were far more public from the Midchildran viewpoint.
Still, I won't mind if they de-emphasized Nanoha, because that will mean de-emphasizing NxF and giving a chance for everyone else.

- Lightning talk on mamas. My ears hurt. Anyway, nothing important, bonding thing.
- Erio/Caro visiting Lutecia. Through the learning programme, she came to understand a little of what she did, etc and her punishment, limiter/banish had already been decided even before the trial/hearing. She will be with her mother though. Her mother had... awakened then, I think and it made Erio/Caro pretty . There's chance she won't be able to return to conventional society, etc etc. Lutecia doing the arigato arigato thing that made Erio Caro tearful. It's pretty touching.
- Teana/Vice bike thing. Their chemistry are better like this than in the anime, more hard down one. >_>
- Welcome to Mission School, Vivio. Basically Vivio/Nanoha visiting the school during break period, Vivio introducing herself, etc etc, Schach briefing Nanoha on the escalator system for the school, the years she'll be going through. Vivio wants to learn there. And Vivio being insightful for once on her part, etc. Vivio says she'll learn hard and protect Nanoha in the future... S5?
- Talking to the grave thing. Teana talking about her steps to her future, telling him things and she's doing her best. Subaru about the same to Quint, and says she's not ready for dual-wield yet, etc. And it's Port Fall, not Waterfall. @_@
- Hayate x Vita bonding... Hayate is heavy, according to Vita. >_>
And what's with the baby-sleep music playing in the bg?
- Vita song.... Must be heard to be appreciated. Though... the style of music and pace is making me imagine weird things. @_@
- Zest's grave is with his comrades. Signum placed his favorite flower there, as requested by Agito. Basically, Wolkenritter/Agito bonding. It was Hayate that assisted in getting the clothes for Agito. Agito is pretty flabberghast in front of Hayate and the rest though, but more tsundere with Signum.

- The Numbers one had been said already. There's more on the interaction part, and all that, but the core was the aspect of their limited freedom and all that. Technically, Lutecia and the younger Numbers are far more of child soldiers and are probably more ignorant than Fate, but whatever. I suppose the danger of having a Interdimensional Capital being bombed and the dimension-space of some off-world planet differs a lot.
And apparently they have bigger rooms in Jail's place, since they're complaining about room size and it's not even a real jail. And looks like Nove's getting along well with Subaru and Teana.
- Lindy/Caro/Erio. Looks like Erio at this point had pretty much already been somewhat of a Dragon Knight, saying that being alone, he can't ride Fried anyway, and had chosen to stay with Caro as a combi. Subaru is being scouted by the Rescue Force, seemingly a top force in Disaster, since they handle the dangerous cases.
- Nanoha is ridiculously stubborn. Nanoha basically make 'empty' promises of not pushing herself, etc etc etc, basically she wants to go on as she is. But anyway, the whole succession of Nanoha's skills to the rookies. Overheard by the rookies, and made them very high.
- Mock battle, A-composite, AA rank... etc. Stuff already mentioned.
- Last 2 songs. Standard stuff.
As expected, the entire SS doesn't really resolve anything on Alhazred-Jail and Verossa-Uno-brainhack, the last 2 plotholes of StrikerS. The only things worth mentioning was Nanoha's injury/passing-on-the-torch, and emotion-wise, the Lutecia/Caro/Erio scene should've been in the anime, but I suppose it would destroy the fluffiness of the situation.

Even if it was not as bad as it'll turn out, with Lutecia all smiles with her mom and Garyuu at some off-world planet, hearing Erio and Caro being snapped back to reality on how their empty promises amounted to mostly crap, what's with Lutecia's punishment and all that being decided before the trial even, and Erio and Caro pretty much end up doing nothing for Lutecia at all in what they said, only letting things take their course and ending up not as they probably had hoped it to be.

It's not over. I plan to go through it so I can actually have a right to criticize about it. It's not good to criticize if you have no information on it, and do it just for fun. (And no, I don't get a kick out of criticizing this series. If I did, I'd actually comment a bit more... Personally, it hurts to read about those wonderfully happy forwards or stars or whatevers. But at the same time, I want to know what happened. Just to get the complete picture.
I have no hope (for the series). But even people with no hope can fall into despair.
Besides, I wouldn't criticize if there was nothing to criticize, from my point of view. I don't hate this series.
Besides, if I really cared about my health, I'd get off the computer and work for society. Being on the computer is bad for the health. Rather than that, I should go play outside. But I won't, because health is too fragile anyways. With those killer dieases or natural disasters or human-made disasters.
I don't plan to ever see Jail or whoever again anyways. I'm definitely not going back through the episode, because I know he's going to lose. After all, before SS4 came out, I already knew there wasn't going to be any Jail anyways, but I was still interested (slightly).
Sou, sou, one more thing: I'm not unhappy about the series (in general), I just don't like (er... hate) every single "good" guy in this show. It didn't start out this way though. It gradually became like this... I was perfectly fine with Fate, Nanoha, etc. a season ago (in A's).

I guess it is a way to fight court backlog and marathon court battles, but the Midchildran population that approved this must have a nearly blind level of faith on the qualities of individual TSAB officials.
We should have gotten the bad vibes when the TSAB was described as "It's a sort of combined judiciary and police force that governs the dimensional worlds" in A's SS02. The two roles have a conflict of interest and at least in Terran theory should never be combined - it is dangerous enough if the two are chummy.

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's SOUND STAGE 03
19 - Utage ga Owatte
19 – The party is over/ends
Ami: Well then, everyone. I think it's time to wrap things up.
Miyuki: It's starting to get dark (the sun is starting to set) and the number of people on their way to dreamland is getting bigger.
Ami: So I think I would like end the party now.
Miyuki: Okay everyone, please go do your clean up or garbage duties that was decided by the lottery we had.
Fate: Nanoha.
Nanoha: Fate-chan, thanks for your hard work.
Fate: Thanks for your hard work. Are you in charge of throwing out the garbage as well?
Nanoha: Yeah, you want to go together? So… you were able to talk/say it.
Fate: Yeah, thanks to you.
Nanoha: How was it?
Fate: Um, well it's still a bit…
Hayate: It looks like everything around here has been all cleaned up.
Signum: Yes.
Viita: Yup, that's all of it.
Hayate; Okay then, let's help out elsewhere.
Shamal: Yes.
Zafira: Let us go.
STBM: Oh, Hayate-chan!
Hayate: Yes?
STBM: Mari from the maintenance staff just called. It looks like they managed to make two new devices that can handle you, so they want you to try them out.
Hayate: Okay, thanks for telling me.
Zafira: Allow me to handle your workload then.
STBM: See you later!
Hayate: Thanks. I should bring a present for Mari and the rest of the maintenance staff.
Signum: Yes, since we are being aided by them greatly.
Shamal: Finding/creating a device that matches Hayate-chan has been really hard. Hopefully this time things will be all right.
Signum: It seems like striking a balance between strength/power and control is very difficult.
Viita: All together the number that's gotten blown up or broke is… um, is about six?
Hayate: About that many. Hm, I'm so clumsy, it's terrible.
Viita: It can't be helped! There aren't any prominent magic knights who wield both Mid and Belka magic that can match your huge power.
Zafira: It was inevitable there be failures/setbacks.
Hayate: Yeah, but to be frank I felt that I should make it myself from the start. I'm thinking of getting help from Yuuno-kun and Mari-san to start designing but it's really difficult.
Shamal: So you're thinking about a unison device after all?
Hayate: Mid's AI's are so unaffectionate, and I want the storage to be in the shape of a book. When I think about it, a master program (complete incarnation) doesn't sound too bad. A child who inherits Reinforce's name should be harmonizing/unifying. Someone/something I have to make with my own hands.
Viita: Yeah.
Signum: We wait with joy at the arrival of a new companion who shall protect you with us.
Shamal: Until then, we'll just have to make do with the standard issue devices.
Hayate: I'll do my best.
Viita: If Hayate's going to make her, I'd like her to be a lot younger looking than me. Hey Hayate, will you make like that?
Hayate: Oh, I'm not sure still. I haven't given any thought to what she'll look like yet.
Shamal: Well when she's finally created/completed, there'll be no doubt that she'll be the youngest member of our family.
I guess I should write this down before someone asks.
No I will not translate any more of the StrikerS Sound Stage. I will continue to translate A's because I'm almost finished with it and maybe translate first season's Sound Stage 2 because the mysterious Linith (Fate's teacher) is there.

Thank'u for your hard work Nagumo . (too bad I don't have any more point to give >.<").
It would be great to learn more about Linith via SS2 of the 1st season ... or if it's too much work, just to have the essence post her, for us to at least have a little idea of who she really was (I'm sure it's revealted in the novel, but it has never been translated so...v_v")...

Come to think of it ... Hayate's case was also decided in the Summary fashion, and in Fate's case, there was some kind of trial but the defense lawyer is conspiciously missing the whole way! Chrono, who in our world would have been a witness as a police officer, seemed to have been her primary defence counsel, telling her what to say!
Keroko, remember when I mumbled that we wouldn't be so badly off under the TSAB. Maybe I was wrong...
Yet more thoughts: The rapid banishing of Lutecia (and her newly awakened mother) is really convenient for the TSAB. They won't have to explain why Megane Alpino (or Alpinu, Alpineau, ah forget it) came back to life after ten years. If there was a public or even semi-private trial, the details of the whole farce runs a great risk of being exposed to the world. Nice way to sweep your own dirty laundry under the bed, TSAB!
No wonder they didn't put this stuff in the anime...
Belkan Education: Need a little listening help here (Track 11, 1:45-1:55). I heard that Primary is 5 years and Middle is 3 years. But High School is what? I heard 2 years, but then I heard something I can't quite decipher. Help please.
Anyway, it says that you can get a Bachelor out of the program eventually.

It sounds like two years in the upper years. How lucky for vivio, it's an escalator school so she doesn't have to deal with exams.
