NASA ASTRONAUT (Retired)
"About Scott" was written and updated on May 1, 2012 by Cmdr. Carpenter
on his 87th Birthday
Scott Carpenter, a dynamic
pioneer of modern exploration, has the unique distinction of being the
first human ever to penetrate both inner and outer space, thereby
acquiring the dual title Astronaut/Aquanaut.
Scott Carpenter was born on May 1, 1925, in Boulder, Colorado,
to parents Dr. Marion Scott Carpenter and Florence Kelso (Noxon)
Carpenter. His parents separated when his mother was
hospitalized with tuberculosis and he was raised by his maternal
grandparents. He attended primary and secondary school in
Boulder, graduating from high school in 1943. After one semester
at Colorado University in Boulder, Carpenter entered the Navy's
V-12a program at Colorado College in Colorado Springs. The
program was designed to give potential pilots advanced academic
training before they received basic experience in aircraft.
After a year there, he spent six months in training at St.
Mary's Preflight School, Moraga, California, and four months in
primary flight training at Ottumwa, Iowa. When the Navy's flight
training program ended at the close of World War II, Carpenter
entered the University of Colorado to major in aeronautical
engineering. He received a degree from CU in 1962.
rejoined the Navy and received flight training from November
1949 to April 1951 at Pensacola, Florida and Corpus Christi,
Texas. He spent three months in the Fleet Airborne Electronics
Training School, San Diego, California, and was in a Lockheed
P2V transitional training unit at Whidbey Island, Washington,
until October 1951.
November 1951, he was assigned to Patrol Squadron 6 based at
Barbers Point, Hawaii. During the Korean conflict, he was with
Patrol Squadron 6 engaged in anti-submarine patrol, shipping
surveillance and aerial mining activities in the Yellow Sea,
South China Sea and the Formosa Straits. In 1954 he entered the
Navy Test Pilot School at the Naval Air Test Center, Patuxent
River, Maryland. After completion of his training, he was
assigned to the Electronics Test Division of the NATC. In this
assignment Carpenter conducted flight test projects in a variety
of Navy airplanes including multi- and single-engine jet
aircraft and propeller-driven fighters, attack planes, patrol
bombers and seaplanes. He then attended the Navy General Line
School at Monterey, California, for ten months in 1957 and the
Naval Air Intelligence School, Washington, DC for an additional
eight months in 1957 and 1958. In August 1958 he was assigned to
the USS Hornet, anti-submarine aircraft carrier, as Air
Intelligence Officer, where he was serving when he received
secret orders to report to Washington in connection with an
unspecified special project. Stopping in an airport on the way
to Washington, he picked up a Time magazine and learned that the
newly created National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA) had identified 110 candidates, all military pilots, from
which to take volunteers for America's first manned venture into
space. It turned out that the unspecified project was the
reason for his secret orders.
was chosen as one of the "Original Seven" Mercury astronauts,
and on April 9 1959, was assigned to the Manned Spacecraft
Center (then Space Task Group) at Langley Field, Virginia. Upon
reporting for duty, he was given a specialty area involving
communications and navigation because of his extensive prior
experience in those fields. He served as John Glenn's backup
pilot during pre-flight preparations for America's first manned
orbital flight, MA-6.
When NASA
grounded MA-7 pilot Donald K. (Deke) Slayton due the idiopathic
atrial fibrillation of his heart. Carpenter was selected as
prime pilot for that mission with Walter M. Schirra, Jr., as his
backup pilot.
On May
24, 1962, Carpenter lifted off aboard the spacecraft he dubbed
Aurora 7 sitting atop the Mercury-Atlas 7 rocket. His spacecraft
attained a maximum altitude (apogee) of 164 miles and an orbital
velocity of 17, 532 miles per hour. His primary goal during the
three-orbit mission was to determine whether an astronaut could
work in space, a major stepping stone towards a lunar landing.
The flight plan included numerous scientific experiments,
including observations of flares fired on Earth and the
deployment of a tethered balloon. The balloon deployment was an
important experiment, to measure the drag of the balloon in the
very thin atmosphere and observe its behavior, its distance from
the capsule and the various colors it was painted. But the
balloon did not inflate properly and it took longer than was
expected for it to reach the end of its 100-foot nylon tether.
Carpenter was, however, able to judge its colors—the orange
being the most visible, which was a clue NASA used for painting
objects necessary for orbital rendezvous procedures. It was
impossible for Carpenter to measure drag of the balloon and it
proved to be extremely difficult to jettison once the experiment
was concluded. The switch that was meant to release the balloon
did not operate and Aurora 7 continued to trail the balloon
until retro-fire. While this experiment was underway both the
cabin and suit temperature control systems began to malfunction
and the cabin temperature went up to 160 degrees before it could
be brought back under control.
the first pass over Australia, Carpenter inadvertently neglected
to shut off one attitude control system when switching to
another, and doubled, for a time, the fuel expenditure. The
resulting fuel state became critical during reentry. During the
rest of the flight he fell further and further behind the flight
plan, which he said later was much too ambitious.
over Hawaii just prior to the preparation for retro fire, the
mysterious luminous particles, which John Glenn had seen and
called fireflies; began to appear in the window, which looked
back at the flight path. Carpenter's maneuvers and investigation
proved them to be ice particles formed on the outside of the
capsule by the frozen water vapor that was vented to the vacuum
of space by the cabin cooling system.
At the
time of retro-fire, Carpenter believed that he had brought the
capsule to the proper attitude. He found out later that this was
not correct. The small end of the capsule was canted 25 degrees
to the right of where it should have been, an error in yaw of
which he was unaware, due to the intermittent failure of the
horizon scanner and the associated attitude indicators. This
meant that when the rockets fired, the capsule was not pointed
in an absolute straight line along its path and so it did not
slow down as much as it should have. This accounted for 175
miles of the 250-mile overshoot. But several other things went
wrong in addition to that. First, the retrorockets did not
deliver the full thrust that was expected of them. This loss of
thrust accounted for 60 miles of the overshoot, and on top of
all this, the three retros fired approximately three seconds
late. They were designed to fire automatically, but they did
not. Carpenter watched the clock pass the correct instant, and
then depressed the retro-button himself a second later. Two
seconds passed before they finally went off and at a speed of 5
miles per second, the lapse of three seconds accounted for
another 15 miles in the overshoot.
between the time of retrorocket firing and the moment Aurora 7
began its entry through the atmosphere, things were "pretty
tight," as Carpenter puts it. The fuel supply was critically
low, and it was unclear as to whether or not there would be
enough fuel to keep the capsule in the proper trim for the long
glide back to Earth. If it came through at the wrong angle and
the fuel was exhausted, Carpenter would have been unable to
control the capsule during descent and the chances of surviving
such a reentry were not good. He learned that though the manual
tank still registered 7 percent, it was really empty, and only
15 percent of the fuel supply remained in the automatic tank for
the whole reentry. He was dangerously short.
maneuvered the capsule gingerly, keeping the horizon in view
through the window, and trying to use as little fuel as
possible. He held the position steady and when he felt the first
oscillations he knew that the capsule was encountering the
denser atmosphere. They were welcome however, because they meant
that aerodynamic pressures were being exerted against the
capsule and would help keep it on an even keel on the way down.
for the overshoot it was a nominal reentry. The ride most of
the way was smooth and Carpenter and his Aurora 7 spacecraft
were headed in at a good angle. When he glanced out the window,
Carpenter noticed an orange ring of fiery particles stretching
out like a wake behind the capsule. These were tiny pieces of
the ablative heatshield which had melted off and were carrying
some of the intense heat away with them. The peak Gs lasted
longer than expected and on the way down he had to inhale more
deeply and more frequently. The G forces tapered off at 120,000
feet, and the capsule and Carpenter were falling approximately
600 miles per hour. The oscillations built up rapidly and
Carpenter used the very last of his fuel trying to control it,
he was concerned that the capsule might topple over completely
and start coming down topside first. If this were to happen the
drogue parachute could get fouled, and unable to pull out the
main chute. The oscillations finally began to diminish and at
26,000 feet, Carpenter pressed the button to deploy the drogue
chute. The flight plan called for the drogue to be deployed
automatically at 21,000 feet, however Carpenter felt he needed
it sooner to help damp the remaining oscillations. The six-foot
drogue came out in good shape, and the descent stabilized. The
altimeter swung towards 10,000 feet, the point at which the main
chute was supposed to come out automatically. When it did not,
Carpenter allowed 500 feet more and then pulled the ring. It
deployed perfectly, an orange and white canopy, perfectly
shaped, and drawn tight as it began to support the capsule's
had no way of knowing that he had overshot his landing target
area by 250 miles. He had experienced the normal communications
black-out during reentry as the ionization barrier built up
around the capsule, and neither the Cape nor Carpenter could
hear each other. Once Aurora 7 passed that phase of reentry,
Carpenter picked up a transmission from Gus Grissom, second
American in space and capsule communicator (CAPCOM) at the Cape
Canaveral Control Center. He advised Carpenter that he had
overshot his target area and that he should expect a wait of
approximately an hour on the water for recovery. Grissom also
informed him that a plane carrying paramedics was on its way to
the landing area to give him assistance. Tracking devices had
computed Carpenter's landing point as he descended, so the
Control Center knew fairly well where he was, but it was clear
that he had overshot by so far that he was out of range of the
communications network.
Most of
NASA's communications between the capsule and the ground were
made on a line-of-sight basis. As long as the capsule was at
orbital altitude, the radio transmissions carried easily to the
next tracking station. However, the lower the capsule became,
the shorter the range of communications became until when
Carpenter reached parachute level at 2,000 feet, there was no
one close enough to hear him. He did pick up signals from the
stronger ground transmitters, which is how he heard Grissom's
transmissions, but his were too weak for anyone to read. He made
several calls as he parachuted down, but when no answer was
received he knew that no one could read his transmissions.
accordance with established water landing procedures,
Carpenter proceeded to egress the capsule and wait in the raft.
He removed his helmet, removed the right half of the instrument
panel to make an exit and then squeezed his way up past the
instrument panel. It is not an easy exit but it was well
practiced. He opened the hatch on the small end of the craft,
put the camera he had been using during the mission in a safe
place near the opening and dropped the life raft into the water.
He got into it before he realized that it was upside down. He
climbed out into the water, turned the raft over and got back
in. Then he tied the raft to the capsule so they wouldn't drift
apart and turned on the SARAH (Search And Rescue And Homing)
beacon which would assist the recovery plane home in on his
45 minutes after his splashdown and 1000 miles southeast of the
Cape, many planes began to appear. He signaled them with a
small hand mirror and they began to circle his position. Not
long after that, there were planes all around his landing area.
Two paramedics jumped into the ocean and proceeded to attach a
collar to the capsule and to check on the astronaut. Carpenter
offered them food and water from his survival kit, grateful for
their presence, but they told him they weren't hungry.
It was
another two hours before a helicopter from the USS Intrepid
could pick up the astronaut. Almost an hour and a half later,
the second American astronaut to orbit the earth stepped out
onto the deck of the Intrepid to be taken back to Grand Turk
Island for debriefing.
In 1962
and 1963, he monitored the design and development of the lunar
module for the Apollo project and served as Executive Assistant
to the Director of the Manned Spaceflight Center in Houston.
this time he became fascinated by the underwater work being done
by the French oceanographer J.Y.Cousteau in his Conshelf
program. He saw many parallels between that work and the work
being done by the American space program . He obtained a leave
of absence from NASA to join the Conshelf program but Cousteau
suggested that the technology transfer from space to the ocean
was a good idea, but it would be better directed to the U.S.
Navy's SeaLab program, with which was unknown to Carpenter. It
was similar to the French Conshelf program but conducted in
American waters and by Carpenter's parent service.
managed a transfer back to the Navy, and while temporarily
assigned to the SeaLab Project in Hamilton, Bermuda in July,
Carpenter lost control of the motorcycle he was driving and
broke his lower left arm. The compound fracture eliminated
Carpenter from participation in the Sea Lab 1 project in which
he would have been submerged in a underwater habitat with four
Navy divers at a depth of 192 feet.
SeaLab1 project was soon followed by the SeaLab II project and
in the spring of 1965, and, again on leave from NASA, he
participated as an aquanaut in the U.S. Navy's SEALAB II
project. In this capacity, he acted as Training Officer for the
crew and was Officer-in-Charge of the submerged diving teams
during the operation. He spent 30 days living and working in
SEALAB II, 205 feet below the surface on the ocean floor off the
coast of La Jolla, California. Carpenter led two of the three
teams of Navy men and civilians during the 45-day experiment. At
one point he spoke by phone to the crew of Gemini 5, original
Mercury astronaut L. Gordon Cooper and "New Nine" astronaut
Charles L. "Pete" Conrad, orbiting overhead. For his
participation in the SeaLab II experiment, he was awarded the
Navy's Legion of Merit medal.
the SEALAB II experiment, Carpenter returned to the space
program and was responsible for liaison with the Navy for
underwater zero-gravity training (neutral buoyancy). But in
1967, he returned to the Navy's Deep Submergence Systems Project
(DSSP) and was appointed Director of Aquanaut Operations
during the SEALAB III experiment. The DSSP office was
responsible for directing the Navy's Saturation Diving Program,
which included development of deep-ocean search, rescue,
salvage, ocean engineering, and Man-in-the-Sea capabilities.
SeaLab III was a very ambitious experiment which would have
repeated much of the work done by the previous two SeaLab
experiments but at the much greater depth of 600 feet. After
many delays, equipment failures, and other major difficulties,
including flooding of the habitat, and finally, the loss of
Barry Canon, one of the divers, the troublesome project was

remaining frontiers, the ocean and President Kennedy's "New
Ocean": space. After the SEALAB II experiment, Carpenter
returned to the space program and was responsible for liaison
with the Navy for underwater zero-gravity training (neutral

developing programs aimed at enhanced utilization of ocean
resources and improved health of the planet. In pursuit of these
and other objectives, he worked closely with the French

BOSTON — On October 26, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology announced a historic agreement with a Russian government–sponsored foundation to build a world-class graduate school of technology, known as SkTech, just outside Moscow.
The Skolkovo Institute of Technology is being built on farmland about 40 miles outside of Moscow. As WGBH reported several weeks ago, the project is being hailed as a watershed moment in Russia's post–Cold War development — and MIT is taking part of the credit.
MIT President Susan Hockfield, in Moscow for the signing, said that MIT is committed to "bringing together Russian, U.S. and global research and technology, and in integrating teaching, research, innovation and entrepreneurship."
Alexey Sitnikov, the foundation's executive director of academic development, explained why another graduate university similar to MIT or CalTech is needed in Russia.
The country already has a technological institute — but it was founded in the middle of the last century, Sitnikov said, and since then "we haven't created a university of a truly international caliber, competitive on the international level, [that's] able to create and commercialize technology."
The agreement between MIT and the Skolkovo Foundation to develop SkTech will take place over three years. MIT scientists, engineers and other professionals will travel back and forth to Russia to work and conduct research. They will find the going easy: The government is relaxing visa restrictions for those associated with the project.
The new institution will offer master's degrees and doctorates in five critical priority areas, Sitnikov said: "Biotechnology, information technology, space technology, communication and nuclear technology."
Edward Crawley, an MIT professor of engineering, will be SkTech's first president.
MIT and the Skolkovo Foundation — which was set up to spur this very kind of initiative — have also committed to building Skolkovo Innovation City on the same dry patch of land. The innovation city is being compared to both Kendall Square and Silicon Valley. One of MIT's long-term goals is to profit from the joint venture through the development of new mass-market and industry-related products.

BOSTON — A Boston-area tech company is involved in one of the most ambitious federal projects of our time. Security Innovation, based in Wilmington, makes the software behind what could be the nation's first wireless collision avoidance system for cars. A pilot study of 3,000 cars is rolling out next year. Eventually, all cars made in the U.S. could be required to have the technology.
In other innovation news:
Boston-based Third Rock Ventures put $35 million behind a new company, Sage Therapeutics, that aims to develop a novel class of drugs for schizophrenia, depression, and other brain disorders.
Cambridge-based Vertex Pharmaceuticals is seeking FDA approval for a drug that would offer a new way of treating cystic fibrosis.
Finally, two deals this week continue a recent trend of Boston-area tech companies being bought out by West Coast giants. Endeca Technologies, an enterprise search company in Cambridge, is being acquired by Oracle for an undisclosed sum. Boxborough-based BNI Video, a startup that makes Internet software for cable companies, is being snapped up by Cisco for $99 million.

Children today pick up using tablets and touch-screen devices as if they were born to it. (michaelaion/Flickr)
Tim Monroe is head of school at the Sage School for gifted children in Foxborough, Mass. Like many other educators, he is faced with integrating the new technology into the classroom. He talked with WGBH Radio's Bob Seay about that challenge and gave some advice for parents.
At Sage, every second grader has been given an iPad to use for part of the day, Monroe said: "What we're trying to do this year is figure out [if] mobile devices enhance learning in the school setting. And so far the results are pretty good."
He thought it was key that parents supervise their children's screen time and not use these devices as digital "babysitters."
Dr. Michael Rich, who directs the Center on Media and Child Health at Children's Hospital Boston, agreed in an October 20 conversation with Jared Bowen, guest host of "The Emily Rooney Show."
When considering the effects of mobile devices on children, Rich said, "The first thing is to think about what the child is doing on it and for how long. If it is simply to distract them so you can get dinner on the table or take a shower, that's probably not the right choice to make. … There are alternative activities that kids can do that will keep them just as happy, like giving them a bunch of pots and pans and a wooden spoon while you're making dinner."
When a child is allowed to use an iPhone or iPad as a distraction, "it teaches them that this is the default position for downtime," Rich said.

BOSTON — Sometime in the next month, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will sign a historic agreement that will lead to the creation of a major institute of technology in Russia. The planned university will be the anchor of a $6.6 billion project that aims to establish Russia as a major technological power.
The Skolkovo Foundation was established just a couple of years ago by the Russian Academy of Sciences to advance the country's scientific and technological future.
Since signing a preliminary agreement this summer with the Foundation, MIT has kept quiet about its plans and its role in what will become the Skolkovo Institute of Technology just outside of Moscow.
But Alexey Sitnikov, the Foundation's executive director of academic development, made no secret of his goals. The future university "will combine research education and commercialization similar to what MIT does—but better," he said. Researchers will create inventions, commercialize them and bring them to market "to complete the innovation chain from idea to profit."
Sitnikov was in town for meetings with MIT officials, to work out the details of creating a world-class technological university.
There's no doubt Russia has the brainpower—graduating large numbers of mathematicians, scientists and engineers. What it lacks in the post–Cold War era, said Sitnikov, is the kind of openness that spawns innovation. That means, in part, welcoming researchers from all over the world. MIT faculty and SIT faculty will work side-by-side, creating innovation.
"The university we are creating will be international both in the composition of faculty and student body as any international university should be," Sitnikov said. "We don't want to be closed. We want to be open."
Russia says it will relax visa and travel restrictions to make this project work. MIT scientists and other professionals will come and go at will.
The university is the center of a radically new community. Skolkovo Innovation City—like Silicon Valley, on which it is loosely modeled—will house dozens of new startups and old businesses, including Microsoft, Nokia and Cisco Systems. The Skolkovo Institute of Technology will sit at the town's center, sort of like a library on Main Street, but without the provincial flair. The development is funded by the Russian government in partnership with private companies.
Right now, Skolkovo Innovation City is an empty field, just under 1000 acres, watched over by two security guards.
But by 2017, the Foundation envisions a thriving town of 20,000 to 30,000 people, both residents and commuters from outside the country. It will have clusters of companies and office space. Unlike many Moscow suburbs, it will not be a gated community, Sitnikov said: "It will be an open town using a lot of technologies of today and tomorrow."
The Silicon Valley of Russia is envisioned as a self-supporting community where cars will run on electricity, not gasoline, with power generated by the sun. Science and money will come together seamlessly.
The Foundation thinks that vision will appeal to entrepreneurs around the world. "Many of our key partners are American-based companies," Sitnikov said.
Dr. Phil Frost is chairman of the board of the world's largest generic pharmaceutical firm, based in Israel, and chairs Skolkovo's International Scientific Advisory Board. He saw big opportunities for a Silicon Valley in Russia.
"I think there is great interest in developing an entrepreneurial base in Russia, not only for the medical sciences but for the whole broad spectrum of sciences and the practical applications thereof," Frost said.
His own companies, including Teva and OPKO Health, plan to set up offices in Skolkovo Innovation City. He says MIT's signoff on the project will convince many scientists and entrepreneurs to set up shop in Russia—which has not always been considered the most secure place to do business.
MIT has a long history of success in creating technologies that transfer to the commercial market, Frost said—and the royalties to prove it. "It's a good role model and its experience can be brought to bear to help with structural efforts that are being tried in Russia."
And though MIT is a practical model for Skolkovo's anchor university, the true inspiration is the broader American spirit of innovation evidenced by Silicon Valley and Boston's Route 128, Sitnikov said: "We have the money to fund this effort but we lack the experience. We lack the eyes of the venture capitalists to determine which will be the next Google."
He's hoping it will rise from a now barren field outside of Moscow –the future Skolkovo Innovation City.
The Skolkovo Foundation and MIT are expected to reach a final agreement on the creation of Russia's premier technological university within the next month.

BOSTON — It was just days before Christmas last year when Chrissy DiPietro checked her online bank statement, only to realize the Grinch had come early.
"I saw a charge for $100 from Trinity Global. Then I looked back about four days before that and there was another $100 dollar charge. And then about 4 days before that, was a $500 charge," DiPietro said.
At first, the South Boston resident thought it was her Edward Jones retirement fund, but when she Googled "Trinity Global PStars," an online gambling site popped up. "I called the bank that day and they said this is definitely suspicious," says DiPietro.
And it was. In the course of a few weeks, someone had funneled $3,000 from her bank account to a variety of offshore gambling sites, even opening accounts in her name. DiPietro says she still doesn't know how they got her information.
"They basically are me right now. The person somehow had my name, my address, my parents address, my cell phone number, my email address. I think my computer was hacked."
Maybe. But getting information like that isn't as hard as it used to be. Websites like Spokeo.com and 123people.com are aggregating information and showing it to anyone who wants to see, including identity thieves.
"I absolutely believe that they're using these because there's too much in the way of — basically low-hanging fruit to go after," says Beth Jones, Internet security expert at Sophos.
Jones says it's as simple as typing a name and city into the search box. Then, up pops a profile of that person including age, home address, home value, even your family members — and that's just the free version. For a paltry four bucks a month, Jones says profiles get even more detailed.
"Scammers can start looking up people's name and just do regular vanity searchers, see where people live, see where they're working, see what their Facebook and Linked-in profiles have to say."
Jones says the best way to protect yourself is to limit the amount of information you put out there, especially the information you share on Facebook and Twitter.
"If you wouldn't tell a complete stranger and go up to him and say, hey my birthday is so-and-so and here's my social security number, you know — if you wouldn't do this in real life, don't do it on the computer," Jones said.
Chrissy DiPietro admits she shared too much information on Facebook — like her birthday and email address — and has since wiped her profile clean. She finally got her money and identity back, but it wasn't in time to pay the bills.
"I'm in trouble now. I used my credit card for two straight months while the bank did my investigation and now I'm stuck in credit card debt," DiPietro said.

How to load ecore model as an input? What should be the > extension(myecore.?) By "ecore model", I am assuming you mean a model defined with EMF/Ecore, and not a file with a .ecore extension (the meta-model). In that case, the extension that JET recognizes the model by is found in the plug-in containing the generated Java model code. Look at plugin.xml for something like: <extension point="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.extension_parser"> <parser type="theExtension" class="...some fully qualified Java class name"/> </extension> JET should be able to load (and understand) files with the extension defined in the plugin.xml If the plug-in defining this is a project in the same workspace as your JET transformation, JET will not find the registration. (JET relies on EMF for this information, and EMF gets it from loaded plug-ins only.) The fix for this (assuming that you are using the default EMF XMI serialization) is to add an xsi:schemaLocation attribute to your model: <somePrefix:YourRootType xmi:version="2.0" xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:somePrefix="Your-meta-model-NS-URI" xsi:schemaLocation="Your-meta-model-NS-URI platform:/resource/ws-relative-path-to-your-.ecore-file" ...> > 2. Plz can someone give me a simple example of loading ecore in JET and > transforming it into code. > Here is a link to the SWT-wizard page generator used in the EcilpseCon 2008 tutorial on JET: http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.m2t/org .eclipse.jet/examples/org.eclipse.jet.ec2008.pushbuttonbuild /?root=Modeling_Project To check it out from the Eclipse CVS repository, do the following: 1) switch to the CVS Repository Exploring perspective. 2) Add a connection as follows: Host: dev.eclipse.org Repository Path: /cvsroot/modeling. User: anonymous No Password Connection type: pserver 3) In CVS Repositories view, expand to: HEAD / org.eclipse.m2t / org.eclipse.jet / examples 4) Right click org.eclipse.jet.ec2008.swtgen.codebehind and click Check Out 5) Right click org.eclipse.jet.examples.ec2008 and click Check Out. 6) Switch to the Java perspective. To run the transformation on some test input, do the following: 1) Create a new plug-in project: Name: test.wizardPage Source folder: src Ensure 'This plug-in will make contributions to the UI' is checked (second page). 2) In the Package Explorer, expand org.eclipse.jet.examples.ec2008 3) Right click test.wizardpage.xml, and click Run As > Input for JET Transformation 4) In the dialog that appears, select SWT Gen (codeBehind) (test.wizardpage.xml) and click OK. The structure of the transformation pretty much follows what I feel are best practices: 1) The template main.jet (the entry point) traverses the input twice. In the first pass, it calculates values and stores them as 'annotations' on the input model (they appear as if they are attributes, although they are never stored). In the second pass, JET templates are executed using tags such as ws:project, ws:folder, ws:file and java:class 2) main.jet also does some fancy things via c:load. This is probably not 'normal', but the idea is to make the transformation more data-driven (the transformation is generating code for SWT widgets, and separating the bits of widget specific code from the rest of the transformation is desirable. 3) the transformation uses JMerge (java:merge) and the Java import manager (via java:import and java:importsLocation), demonstrating some ways to manage the production of Java code. (Note that the java:merge and java:importsLocation tags interact slightly, and the transformation incorrectly places java:merge first - it is much better to place the java:merge tag after java:importsLocation - for maximum safety, place it at the end of the template). Hope this helps. Paul]]> Paul Elder 2008-07-02T14:49:46-00:00

7 Steps to Apply Mascara
Mascara makes the eyes look stunning and sexy. If applied correctly, mascara makes the eyes look bigger. Mascara is a must for women who have thin eyelashes. Listed below are some steps to apply mascara, read on.
1. Find the right type
It is important to find the right type of mascara for eyes. While buying mascara, always look for the color and feel. Black colored mascara can compliment any eyelashes. Mascara can also define the eyes if chosen with the volume feature. Mascara is also available for length.
2. Choosing the right type
Choose mascara with a volume for thin eyelashes. Volume mascara will make the eyes look super sexy and attractive. Choose waterproof mascara for the whole day. Waterproof mascara is for women who tend to wear mascara all the time. For normal skin complexion, black mascara is perfect. For fair skin complexion, brown mascara may do the trick.
3. Open it in the right way
Many women tend to pump the mascara in and out of the bottle. This creates air pressure in the bottle; as a result the mascara gets dry. This then affects the application on eyes. While opening the bottle, press the brush in a circular motion gently, so that the brush gets the desired amount. While removing the wand from the bottle, dust off the excess amount, or else it will leak.
4. Start with bottom
Always apply the mascara from the bottom side on the eyelashes. Women, who apply from the top side, often face the problem of tiny dots that appear on the lashes after the application. Starting with bottom would give a smooth finish to the application. Wiggle the brush gently from bottom to top for a perfect coat.

El Salvador Finca Matalapa Peaberry
El Salvador Finca Matalapa Peaberry
Farm Description
Finca Matalapa is a classic estate coffee, long before there were mini-mills and micro-lots. It has a complete independent mill to service the farm, from wet-processing and patio drying, through hulling and preparation, loading the coffee in jute bags and packing the shipping container. The mill is filled with fantastic, classic coffee equipment painted in bold colors. And it's the passion of the owner, Vickie Ann Dalton de Diaz, and the love of archaic machinery on the part of her husband that keeps the mill running and the coffee tasting so wonderful! Finca Matalapa is in the Libertad area, not far from the capital of San Salvador, on a west-facing slop ranging from 1200 meters up to the ridge top at 1350 meters. It's a 4th generation coffee estate totaling 120 hectares and was founded in the late 1800's by Fidelia Lima, great grandmother of the Vickie. She maintains 14 acres of virgin tropical forest and keeps her coffee plants shaded with over forty varieties of larger trees. The cup has the character I aspire to find in El Salvador Bourbon-type coffees, though because of the strong winds in the area they find the native Salvador Pacas varietal to fare better in this region. Pacas is a natural mutation of the Bourbon varietal. It's a very small crop this year, and Vickie could produce only 5 bags of peaberry for us, compared to 22 last year! But still, we are excited about the cup quality of this coffee.This coffee is part of our Farm Gate pricing program.
Cupping Notes
Matalapa Peaberry has great balance and sweet accent notes. The dry fragrance has sweet citrus, praline, honey and floral notes at City+, and a syrupy molasses sweetness at Full City roast. You can find the same sweet, mild citrus in the wet aroma, with butter-caramel and Almond Roca scents. The cup is bright, with bracing orange acidity, laced with slight floral bits. As it cools my lighter roasts (City+) became more and more bright and dynamic, lemony with a cinnamon note and malty grain sweetness. Light roasts have a correspondingly light body, but it fits the high-toned, refreshing flavor profile overall. I preferred this roast level for brewed coffee; the finish is high-toned and sweet. I felt the Full City roast level was a little more pedestrian. But if you like a more bittersweet cup with softer acidity, FC roast works great too. Overall this Peaberry lot is the brighter, livelier version of the Matalapa flat bean coffee, and excellent brewed in a vacuum pot, dripper or Technivorm.

Avalanche (Original Soundtrack)
- Artist: William Kraft
- Genre: Soundtrack
- Release Date: 5/5/2015
AVALANCHE tells the story of a group of vacationers at an exciting new ski resort in the mountains of Colorado who are forced to face the brunt of Mother Nature's wrath in the form of a powerful avalanche of snow. The film follows the efforts of the survivors to pull together despite their differences and stay alive long enough for rescue services to arrive. Roger Corman was looking for a composer who could provide a large scale orchestral score for his film and he turned to composer William Kraft who, at the time, was building a successful reputation for himself as a composer and conductor, as well as a master percussionist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. For AVALANCHE, Kraft chose to center his score around the central conflicts of the film: Man's destruction of his environment in his attempt to manipulate Nature instead of being one with it and the human relationships in the film. Performed by the National Philharmonic Orchestra of London, the composer deftly uses all the colors of the orchestra to highlight the dramatic elements of the story.

The Longwalls: Big MT
For their latest 8-song EP Kowloon, Boston based band, The Longwalls found inspiration in the ancient Chinese city from which the record was named.
In Hong Kong there was once a walled city, Kowloon. An ungoverned 6-acre city within a city, home to 33,000 people. Urban density and decay in overdrive. A crush of tiny apartments. Trash and running water in the streets. Rare pools of light.
Yet life maintained. Amidst the darkness and back-alley operators. Against the cold stone, ash, and dust. An embodiment of the unplanned and unchecked, a mix of pessimism and isolationism, a Kowloon can grow within the mind before you know it. Twenty teetering stories of paralyzing uncertainty walled off from rational thought.
Know that the Kowloon was eventually demolished; a peaceful park of scenic gardens quietly rest in its place. Life maintains.
As the group explains, "The album explores loss, struggle, melancholia, and the feeling all of us have of sometimes just wanting to give up. In Kowloon we found an analog for all these ideas: alone together, decay, wanting to escape, resilience, etc. It's important to note that record is not meant to be dire in any way. We wanted it to be about how life shines through no matter what. We could all just use a little more peace. We think it's a hopeful record."
Kowloon is set to be released on December 4, 2012 through Static Motor Recordings.

Physiotherapist ~ Management of
ankle injury ~ Inappropriate examination ~ Rights 2, 4(2), 6(2),
A student attending a
physiotherapist at a clinic connected to a university physiotherapy
school complained that during the assessment the physiotherapist
examined her unnecessarily and inappropriately.
The woman attended the appointment
having rolled her ankle when she slipped on wet grass. The
physiotherapist examined her lumber and thoracic region, and during
this examination put his hand into her bra and cupped her breast.
The physiotherapist acknowledged assessing her thoracic and lumber
regions but denied sexual impropriety. He did not document
this examination or acknowledge that he should have done so.
It was held that the physiotherapist
breached Rights 2 and 4(2) by failing to comply with professional
and ethical standards, and sexually exploited the consumer.
He also breached Rights 6(2) and 7 for failing to provide a
satisfactory explanation for the examination or gain her consent to
perform the examinations.
It was also held that the university
took reasonable steps to prevent the acts and omissions in
question, and that the acts took place without the express or
implied authority of the university. The university took prompt and
appropriate steps in response to the complaint, and appropriate
support was provided to the woman. The university was not
vicariously liable for the physiotherapist's breaches of the
The matter was referred to the
Director of Proceedings. On 8 July 2008 the Health Practitioners
Disciplinary Tribunal upheld a charge of professional misconduct
against the physiotherapist. Because he was not currently
registered in New Zealand, the Tribunal was not able to cancel or
suspend his registration. Should he apply for registration in New
Zealand, he must at his own cost, undertake a psychological
assessment to assess what risk, if any, he poses to public safety,
and complete training in ethics and professional boundaries,
including personal and patient safety to the satisfaction of the
Physiotherapy Board of New Zealand.
In the event that the physiotherapist meets those conditions and
re-registers, he is to undertake a mentoring programme. The
Tribunal recommended that the programme should include education as

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) January 04, 2014
Whether you practice and record music in a home studio or use a lot of tools while repairing vehicles, space-saving and easily accessible storage is crucial. "As a musician, I needed a way to have all of my keyboards and other musical supplies handy without taking up too much space in a room," said an inventor from Seffner, Fla.
He then created a prototype of the patent-pending Durack, which provides a way to store and organize equipment and/or supplies conveniently and compactly. This eliminates the need for multiple stands, which avoids clutter, and it eases access and saves space. Versatile and easy to use, it's ideal for households, offices, musicians, garages, etc.
The original design was submitted to the Tampa office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 12-TPA-1639, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

Gospel Mt 18:1-5.10
From a simple question
about who ranks first in the
Kingdom of God, Jesus takes
the opportunity to teach us how
much he values children, and
how much we too should value
and love them.
At that time the disciples
approached Jesus and said,
"Who is the greatest in the
Kingdom of heaven?"
He called a child over,
placed it in their midst, and
said, "Amen, I say to you, unless
you turn and become like
children, you will not enter the
kingdom of heaven. Whoever
humbles himself like this child
is the greatest in the kingdom
of heaven. And whoever receives
one child such as this in
my name receives me.
Whoever causes one of
these little ones who believe in
me to sin, it would be better for
him to have a great millstone
hung around his neck and to
be drowned in the depths of the
See that you do not despise
one of these little ones, for I
say to you that their angels in
heaven always look upon the
face of my heavenly Father."

In the Philippines as well as other countries, the image of the Child Jesus, more popularly known as the Santo Nino is much revered. However, the faithful is reminded to go deeper and consider what the image represents. The Santo Nino is a representation of the innocence and the inherent good qualities that every child possesses.
When asked by his disciples as to who is considered to be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven, Jesus answered that it is those that are like children in their humility and trust in God. Jesus also reminds us to take care not to be the source of corruption of innocent children for to do so puts us in a situation where we are better off "with a millstone hung around our necks to be drowned in the depths of the sea". These words underscores the gravity of leading children into sin. Children occupy a special place in God's kingdom.

The truth is out there," as The X-Files used to promise. Chris Carter's alien-chasing Sunday-night thriller was one of those Nineties TV phenomena that helped create the future of pop culture as we know it, with two trench-coated FBI spooks, David Duchovny's Mulder and Gillian Anderson's Scully, probing into the outer limits of government conspiracy and paranormal freakosity. After nine seasons — a couple too many — and two movies, the X-Files closed for good in 2002. Gillian Anderson's on a roll after her brilliant run on Hannibal, just as Duchovny returned to prime time with Aquarius. So the time seems ripe to get the old band back together, even if it's just for a six-episode miniseries sprint.
The X-Files basically invented the twenty-first-century geek. It created new ways of watching television, new ways of demanding that you pay attention to the most obsessive details, as the show built its elaborate tale of alien abductions covered up by the federal government. Just to pick one obvious example, it was the first show where fans made a point of learning the titles of the episodes, whether you were a "Jose Chung's from Outer Space" fan or a "Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man" diehard. It was the show that turned the writers into stars — the names in the credits became a crucial part of each episode, launching future showrunners like Breaking Bad's Vince Gilligan or Homeland's Alex Gansa. It's also where the word "shipper" came into parlance (as in, those who want two characters to get it on), as devotees divided into Mulder/Scully shippers vs. non-shippers. To this day, all different kinds of fandom culture are rooted in our ferocious fixation with The X-Files.
So it makes sense that the world has been fiending for the cult series to make a return, especially with so many of the original writers on board: Darin Morgan, Glen Morgan, James Wong. The new season definitely gets off to a wobbly start, overloading it with back-story exposition — but that's a familiar weakness for The X-Files, which always did have a tendency to bog down in mythology-building. The prime pleasure is seeing these two back in action: They still disagree about almost everything, yet they still know deep down they can only trust each other. Duchovny's as committed as ever to advancing the art of non-acting, with his laid-back squint-and-frown game on point, while Anderson's Scully reliably scoffs at her partner's theories about space invaders. The agents have a new case to investigate, with The Amercians' Annet Mahendru as an alien-abduction victim. (Or is she?) The cast has other new additions like Community's Joel McHale and Silicon Valley's Kumail Nanjiani, along with old faithfuls like Mitch Pileggi as their skeptical Vietnam-vet supervisor.
The world is a hugely different place from the one Mulder and Scully left behind — indeed, one of the poignant ironies of revisiting the original reruns is the way it takes the peace and prosperity of the Clinton years for granted. Once the 1990s crashed into the 2000s, and the country's problems got a lot more terrifying, it was hard to imagine a time when aliens were anybody's biggest nightmare. Like everything else, paranoia ain't what it used to be. So this is a chance for The X-Files to do something bold and innovative with this story, updating it for a more dangerous modern world — the only question is whether it can be done in a mere six-episode revival. But like so many other fans, I want to believe.

Snowboard Review: 09-10 Drake DF2
17 Jul, 2009
Location: Whistler, BC
Snow Conditions: Bluebird with hardpacked ice in the morning and slush in the afternoon. The DF2 was the 3rd board of the day so the snow was getting softer and less ice on the mountain.
Setup: I rode the Drake DF2 with Union Forces and my Rome Vamps size 8.
First Impression: Not bad, not bad at all
Size: 156cm
Weight: lighter than average
Flex: I wasn't sure what to expect when I first stepped on it, but the U camber was pretty easy to flex the nose and tail of the board with the center of the board having a bit more stiffness to it. The stiffness underfoot made also allowed for good stability when I ollied off a roller and when I was just freeriding down the runs.
Turning: The best part about the DF2 was it was a really easy ride to adapt to, easy to transition into each turn and a good mix of flex torsionally and longitudinally so it rode well when freeriding, never felt like a park board that couldn't handle the rest of the mountain. When you wanted to really rally the board on edge, it gave that performance back to you with a quick edge response into sharper turns. The more drawn out turns didn't feel limited either.
Stable: I didn't encounter any problems with the DF2 handling speed down runs and when I landed from a roller ollie down a hill, I never worried about it not needing adjustment. It was pretty consistent on the snow with no surprises.
Pop: When I first got it, I played with it on the flat ground while waiting around and just did flat spin tail presses in circles while holding the nose and popping presses from nose to tail which was super fun and easy to do on it. When I took it on a roller to ollie and get a better feel for it, it impressed because I didn't need to readjust how I ollied and it landed fine, no problems with wobbling or feeling off. Each roller it was easy to pop on the board.
Switch: It rode the same switch as it did regular for me, no edges catching when switching around.
Overall Impression: Overall I was impressed, I think Drake did a great job with the DF2 because it's not anything crazy for a reverse camber but a good ride whether you want to ride park or just play around freeriding, it's a good mix of both. It had a good fun flex, with good pop and was still rideable outside of the park if you were just cruising with friends. There wasn't an adjustment to it, which was nice.
Shay's Honesty Box: Last year when I first tried a Drake board, I wasn't impressed but I went back on the saddle and tried the new DF2 for 09-10 and found myself on a board I really enjoyed.

I picked up the 09-10 Drake DF1 last season with the DTM bindings. I LOVE this setup. Just a fun, versatile, board. Not the big-mountain shredder that my NS is, but I'm not afeared of taking it up high either. It can handle it all. I'm looking forward to trying out their rockered stuff.

Hey folks!
Just a question: My "little" cousin (SHE is 1,78cm 50kg) asked me what I think, if this might be an option for her. She's more into riding than flying. I mean: it's a true twin, does it rock on slopes and backcountry?
And all this new "rocker-shape"-biz: WTF!^^ Does it pay off?
And last but not least: Shes pretty high but light. I'm a bit concerned for it's a "gents" board.
I would be glad for some advice.

Thanks^^ I think she wouldn't even listen to me when I say: "DON'T BUY IT" … she's too much into it.

Hey im working up in the rockies for a season, we have a Df2 in shop so ive been playing on that and love the feel of the reverse camber, the flex it has and basically the whole board. The only thing I am wondering if It is a durable board. it is so light and flexible I am worried it will loose its pop/performance after the season. I would still like too use it occasionally back home for a couple of years just doing trips to the aus/nz slopes. Is there any other boards you would suggest that may be more durable. I love the df2 but I definately want to do my research and get some perspective on some other boards first

SmugMug Success Stories: PawSafe Animal Rescue
The Liberator: Putting the Doggy In the Window
Name: Diane Scuderi
Position/Title: Director
Name of Company: PawSafe Animal Rescue
Location: Patterson, NY
Market: Animal Rescue Nonprofit
Bragworthy Factoid: Saves the lives of more than 100 dogs/month
Website: http://pawsafe.smugmug.com
SmugMugger Since: 2008
Career Highlights…
- Benchmark: saving 30 puppies every 2 weeks
- Creating a rescue network that has placed thousands of animals into safe and loving homes
- Raising $2,000 at their first fundraiser
Fave Features…
- Easy sharing helps promote adoptees
- Ability to email photos to private folders
- Sophisticated gallery hierarchy
- Archives function as testimonials and historical record
- Beautiful image display for featuring adoptees and showing off adopted dogs
It's a dog's life
Scuderi's underground railroad for abused animals began in 1995, when her then-husband brought home a pregnant cat that had been knocked around by a raccoon. Soon, her fervor to save animals led her to found PawSafe as a nonprofit and focus on canine rescue in the southern US. Sadly, the need for PawSafe has grown exponentially since then. "We'll pull this cute chocolate Lab from a shelter in Virginia, and suddenly there's another one. And another, and another," Scuderi says. Modern communication tools help PawSafe hook up with local humane societies. "We align with other rescues already in an area. We have volunteers scattered around the country—people who donate their weekends to getting dogs to the receiving leg of a rescue." PawSafe targets so-called high-kill shelters, operating a mass transfer every other week. Scuderi's network picks up animals, brings them to a kennel, boards them, fosters them out and arranges medical care. "Then," she says grimly, "we do it all again." Some people just prefer dogs over cats, because they say they're smarter, and cleaner, cats are harder to train to do some necessities, but with CatLitterExpert you won't have to worry about that and you could have the pet of your choice, if you own a cat you have to make sure to check out the Top 10 Best Cat Foods – Ultimate Buyer's Guide just because you should feed your pets only with the best.
SmugMug to the rescue
PawSafe calls its adoptee gallery "Getting Ready to Meet You." Thanks to SmugMug, it's a beautiful, welcoming and easily navigable place to find the pet of your dreams. "We love the sharing feature, as it lets us shoot [pet-seekers] a sneak peek of the animals we're readying for adoption," Scuderi says. "We probably use this feature more than any other." Sharing photos via a respected host is important to Scuderi. "Our photo galleries and archives give our adopters a sense we've been around—that we're permanent," she says. "If you adopt and can't keep the dog, you can bring it back, some business like ones you find here have said to look at these pictures before adopting. We have photographic records from 2006 on, emails posted as testimonials, etc." SmugMug technology allows volunteers in shelters to snap a dog on death row, email the photo privately and get an answer about rescue space in the north quickly and efficiently. "This also captures the inspiring side of galleries," Scuderi adds. "It just grows and grows—scrolling pages of dogs we've rescued."
Doggone recession
Financial constraints, economically driven surrenders and the rising price of gas have put the squeeze on Scuderi's operation. The relationship with SmugMug has helped make the most of limited resources. "SmugMug helped PawSafe establish an Internet presence early on in the game, before websites were popular with animal rescues," she says. The first one is highly recommended. "Not only that, if we ever have a question, they give us support." Sadly, a tough economy tends to boost the flow of animals, as otherwise attentive dog owners are forced to surrender pets due to job or home loss. Older animals and larger breeds are even harder to place, Scuderi says. Once a dog is adopted, it holds a place of honor in the "adopted" section, hosted on SmugMug. "It is the adopted dogs and puppies section that we promote and are most proud of," Scuderi says. "We also have that gallery linked as a WordPress plug-in to our website."
Shooting for adoption
PawSafe's photographers have developed best practices for this unique photographic form. Often, pictures are snapped quickly in shelters, under less-than-ideal circumstances. They focus on the animal's eyes, trying to highlight the dog's essential goodness and sparkle. Although they aim to keep people out of the photos—final screen real estate is a half-inch thumbnail on Petfinder—they sometimes include a child's hand touching the dog's head, or something else that captures the dog's spirit. They never forget that the animal's life is on the line. "You have to do something in that icon size to make the dog jump off the page," Scuderi says.
Biting off more to chew
For the time being, PawSafe's team is investing in the organization's future. For example, PawSafe now has two volunteers seeking grants, and just finished its first fundraiser (netting $2,000). Their goal? To build a shelter facility of their own within four years. "People think an adoption fee of $400 is high," Scuderi says. "It seems high until you ask a vet how much it costs to spay, vaccinate, get a health certificate, etc. We do extensive medical. There are lots of laws governing transferring dogs state to state. We mostly break even, even on a healthy puppy." If you suffer of any health issues such as anxiety buy kratom at kratomcrazy.com to get help.

The manga do better than anime about crossbow fire.
Even more, the crossbow in this anime shoot arrow instead bolt. It is awesome, lolz. These are the correct bolt

What was with Female Magician getting cut off while saying where the Demon Queen was? Very disconcerting. However, the plot was good enough to make me like this episode a lot.
It seems that we're reaching the climax... Next episode is the final one, right?

They missed or rushed alot this episode, which is a shame the pacing could have been alot better if they hadn't wasted that episode on the recap.
They missed out the most important part of the Female Magicians conversation with the hero where she basically tells him who she is, and yes by the time the hero was in the Demon realm they where losing contact with each other.
The Student generals fight was rushed as well, didn't really show how out numbered he was and how he planned to deal with that.
I fear for the pacing of the last episode as well they have the Female knight,hero vs Maoyuu fights and ending to deal with in 24 minutes.

I think the difference is more "Bad early eps make it so Otaku don't feel a desire to spend 400 dollars on a series." Don't forget how much a 6 vol set of a 1 cours show costs.
Also, with how much they animated, I'd take a good guess they were contracted to cover the first two volumes in 1 cour. I can't see a production staff looking at the size of the content and thinking that's the best plan. Which means this really was just to pump up the book sales.

Just watched the last episode and happy with it (Maoyuu vs Hero could have been better) they didn't go with a orignal ending as I feared and basically set up a 2nd season.
Over all despite a few pacing issues near the end and the wasted episode this was by far my favorite and near enough the only anime this season that I've watched all the way though.
So a solid 9/10 from me better than most of the trash from this season .

Lots of fighting, lots of events concluded.
Ended kind of in the middle of nowhere, but rather than a "life goes on" conclusion, its more of just a pre-cursor. Wouldn't be surprised to see a few more seasons down the road.
Favorite character was female knight.

So we finally got to see Maou vs Yuusha something like a fight.
Didn't expect to see this at all judging by the way things were going.
I wasn't surprised how fast he got her to her senses..
In this anime humans were pretty much the only bad guys.
Humans were so difficult to deal with... so stubborn.
All in all this was a good anime which could've been better.

singing heartbreak
I was HOPING they would at least get Hero vs DQ fight right, but they failed even that =0(. There was ZERO tension in that whole scene; no former demon lord shadows, no attack magic, no swordplay, just a teleport and a hug =02. Strangely, the fight between the 1-eyed merc and Soldier(DQ's former student) was better than the Hero/DQ one, though that's not saying much since it wasn't that good either. I have NO idea how Soldier managed to grab the merc's sword, when it fell before them, not to mention having to fight the merc on the way down AND being injured. I'm going to completely ignore the fact that only a small amount of the sword is in the wall perpendicularly, yet managed to stop a heavy guy falling without being pulled out. I guess grabbing the rope would be too realistic (>.>)...
This show has failed in delivering a cohesive watching experience; the way they ignored the minor details for the entire cast really killed this show. Those minor details fleshed out the cast so nicely, despite being relatively unimportant to the storyline. They tried to do too much in too little time; they should have either made it into a 2-cour series, or a 1-cour series that stopped after Aurora Island was recaptured. The only things that truly shined in this series was HeroxDQxFK moments, or any combination of two of those chars. I loved Sawashiro's voice for FK to bits; she really did a wonderful job there =03. Other than that, this series is rather forgettable(well, the anime anyways. The manga is excellent =03)

Last Verse. I'm Back my Hero. You Sleep too Much, My Demon King.
So, this is the end for Maou and Yuusha.
It was rather quick how Yuusha called Maou back to her senses, and while addressing her people of the Demon Realm she wouldn't command any respect unless she does something cool and flashier like her Black Knight obliterating a whole mountain before the audience, for example.
Now, the war has ended for now.
The dual economy system is now introduced, but Heavens know if it can sustain itself.
Gate City is accomplished to become a central hub for human-Demon social, political, and cultural gatherings, exchanges, and interactions.
The Merchants Guild will find a way to trade with the Demons in order to open new trade routes and markets, and thus strengthening ties between both races.
Then, the print will allow for a rapid publishing and distribution of books, pamphlets, and printed papers in an eventual, worldwide scale.
But, there's still an underhanded issues to solve: the other Demon tribes conspiring with the Central Alliances and the Church. And, just when I start to ponder when will the show be introducing firearms, powder, and their mass distribution, one of Church's protegés introduce them to their fellow conspirators. Thus, the course of the war will be taken to a whole new level, and one in which that Council of Shadows expect to tilt the tide of the upcoming wars to their favors.
What to think about Maoyuu Maou Yuusha? It was a nice ride, but I feel they dragged too much from the earlier episode to preach and document how would the ideas and reforms brought by Maou were to benefit the medieval society at the long run.
I really enjoyed it, but I felt it needed much more action and romance and historical fantasy elements like the battles.
Gosh, I really miss those jokes about Maou's shameful flesh.
And, her constant bickering with Knight.
Ok, what's gone is gone, and going by the number of sales for the first volume, kindly informed to us by our friend Ushio the Omega, I cannot get high hopes for a second season unless the producer change their minds.
Well, a fun but long-winded ride; it's now over, and since this has been the last anime finished for this 2013 winter season, then I'm done with the current season and have to wait three more days for the start of the Spring Season.

Other music forums > Musician's Corner
Hand and She Loves You Chord Changes
I've been learning these two songs on bass, and I really love the chord changes on the songs. I read a quote about the magic of the chord changes and they are right. Despite their bubble gum image, these two songs were pretty sophisticated little pop songs. Especially when compared with what was on the radio with it at the time.
On Hand, I absolutely love the B7 chord during the outro. It gives a totally different flavor to the chorus, which you've already heard a few times by the time it comes around. Actually, B7 is also the chord that I think John said "makes the song' during the verses, as well.
On She Loves You, I know it's rather cliched, but the G6 on that last chord is just great.
Both great songs and, when you look at their structure, far from the bubble gum songs that most Beatle haters would have you believe.
You're damn right, Revolver. A lot of people these days seem to think The Beatles started off as a corny pop group, then got good later on. I think The Beatles were geniuses for the way they did really unusual things and made them sound natural. Part of it is how they hammered their chord changes home like they were playing a standard rock 'n' roll tune.
Right on target!!!!
The Beatles were innovators from the very beginning. The problem is that most people think that the early Stones, Who, Hendrix, ect... stuff was around the same time as the early Beatles stuff. What they fail to realize is that the Beatles first songs and albums were 2 years (at least) earlier than the first big hits of these other bands. Therefore, if the early Stones and Who sound a bit more "advanced" than the early Beatles (from a songwriting standpoint, they weren't, but people confuse volume and feedback with complexity), it is only because those later groups had the benefit of taking the best of what the Beatles had done and applying it to their own sound.
It is more fair to compare the early Beatles to their contemporaries. Safe to say, there was nothing CLOSE to She Loves You or I Want To Hold Your Hand on the radio at that time. Maybe, MAYBE some of the early Motown compares, but other than that, it was a wasteland.

"Jesus is "The Man" and Barton makes that clear"
I would listen to this book a few times a year. Barton presents the Biblical stories of Jesus in a wonderful way. Presenting Jesus as a "real person" strong, intelligent, and insightful. There are insights to gain from this book for daily living, working with people, and how to handle oneself. Even if you are not a religious person there is great value to be gained from this book.
Dan Dunlap is one of the best narrators I have heard on Audible and I have listened to well over one hundred of audio books. I would like to hear him on more books.
"This was a great review of the life of Jesus "
It was great listening. The narration was perfect. Enjoyed it. Could listen to it again.
"Great book!"
This narrator does a great job. I enjoyed this fresh new view of the power of Jesus.
"The Greatest Man and Leader EVER!"
JESUS! His Love and Caring for the Disciples lead them and all of humanity the same way; through Influence.

|I was overall very pleased with the purchase. My order arrived very quickly, and it was basically as described. My son is 8 yrs. old and quite tall and has a biggish build so i got him the size 10/12, which was fine... the pants are quite long and the shirt is a little long but definately the size 8 would've been too small.
