When I was a kid, I honestly believed that there was only one kind of lawyer. The Perry Mason/Matlock kind. So when I was "all grown up" and engaged to be married, and someone told me that I should have a will, I was very nonchalant about grabbing the yellow pages and looking up "any old lawyer" to hire to help me with that. What a surprise it was to find that there are dozens of different types of lawyers! Didn't I feel silly, learning how stupid I was! Turns out that my very own aunt used to work as a para-legal in a firm for administrative law. I don't know why I always thought she was a school teacher!
I try to keep that in mind when I find out that there is someone in my circle of family and friends that doesn't know something that I just take for granted, thinking everyone should know what I know! How is someone supposed to "just know" something if nobody ever teaches them?

Exclusive bloody clip from Filipino crime film On The Job will slice you up
Today we have a very compelling and bloody clip from the Filipino crime flick ON THE JOB, which tackles the true story about Filipino prison inmates being contracted by politicians to conduct assinations by getting a temporary pass to leave jail and return when the job is done. It's a very cool premise and ripe for exploration, which the filmmakers seemed to capitalize on greatly with this clip. The concept reminds me of something Scorsese would tackle, but told in a very THE RAID-esque way. The clip dives into the concept of assassination with all the detail you'd come to expect from a refined crime pic and will likely leave you wanting for more.
Take a look:
Here's the synopsis:
The cycle of life and death and scheming at its highest level are on full display in ON THE JOB, a gritty crime thriller that delves deep into the inner-workings of the ingenious hitmen, honest cops, ambitious federal agents, and shady government officials. The film is based on the true scandal that rocked the Philippines where prison inmates were contracted by high-level politicians to temporarily leave jail and conduct a series of assassinations before returning to incarceration.
Like Scorsese did by adapting INFERNAL AFFAIRS as THE DEPARTED, this film feels like something special that can easily stand on its own, but would be one of the few films I'd say could really soar if adapted for a group of known talent. That's not to detract from what director Erik Matti has done here; far from it. Matti has crafted a pic that looks packed with atmosphere, grit, and action, easily setting the stage for someone to take the reins in a new adaptation as well as something special on its own.
ON THE JOB premieres this Friday, September 27, 2013 in limited release (check for showtimes here).
|Extra Tidbit:
|Which director would you like to see tackle an adaptation of this material. Joe Carnahan directing and Frank Grillo starring keeps popping into my head. You?

'Abdulrahman confessed when security forces threatened to rape his mother'
On 6 March 2014 Mahmoud Wahba and his friend Khaled Askar were in the car making their way to meet Khaled's mother to break their fast together. It was a Thursday, one of two days in the week on which the Sunnah recommends Muslims fast. As they drove towards Khaled's house the two young men were stopped by security forces in Mansoura, one of Egypt's largest cities located on the east bank of the river Nile. The families heard nothing from them until later that evening when Mahmoud's mother, Fatima Al-Issawi, received a phone call from the police station. "Doctor, your son Mahmoud is here at the station," said a voice on the other end of the line. "You should call someone to make it easier on him." As she replaced the receiver, Fatima knew her son had been arrested and that he was being tortured. [ read more ]

Factors to Consider Before Getting Abdominoplasty
A tummy tuck is a surgery that trims the waist and tightens the abdominals. Another name for this type of surgery is an abdominoplasty. This procedure is performed by a surgeon in a hospital or clinical setting. It takes around three hours to complete, and the patient requires sleeping at the hospital for two or three days for the recovery process.
Having a tummy tuck has its own best timing. For instance, if you want to get abdominoplasty Manhattan, consider the below points.
After done having children: If you are a woman, you should make sure you consider doing a tummy tuck after you are done having babies. If you give birth after the procedure, the girdle and the skin will extend out, inducing the results of the treatment. You will have wasted paying for the procedure because you'll have undone all the results.
Ideal Weight: A patient's weight should be stable before undergoing this process. If an individual gains weight, the stomach will become stretched out again. The abdominal skin will no longer fit like a tight match if a person loses weight following the procedure. Having an ideal weight is a superb time to get a tummy tuck.
Great Physical Health: An abdominoplasty is a surgical procedure that is huge, and to recover fast and efficiently, it is of utmost importance for the patient to be in good health. If there are any unresolved illnesses or conditions, they should be cured or managed by a doctor before requesting the body.
Mental Health: A patient should be secure, mentally and emotionally. If somebody is experiencing a life crisis such as a divorce, job loss, death in the family or other distress, then it would be sensible to find solutions to these problems before getting this procedure done.
Plan Your Finances: Plastic surgery is not covered by insurance. Therefore, before you remove money from your wallet to pay for such a procedure, make sure that your finances are in order. Having a solid base will allow you to have peace of mind during your healing process.
Before trimming it throughout a tummy tuck, the surgeon will remove excess skin and fat. Liposuction is performed to remove adipose deposits. To be able to make your stomach look more appealing, the girdle that holds the organs set up will be tightened up.
Throughout the surgery, drains will be put to eliminate excess fluids and assist with recovery. If you feel you are ready to have the procedure, you should book an appointment with a qualified surgeon to talk more about abdominoplasty.

Park permit protest
Sunday afternoon I played pickup ultimate frisbee on the Central Fields in many times blogged Forest Park. The group included folks from WashU and from the St. Louis Ultimate Association. I put in a good two hours and started heading home. As I was walking away, a park official approached the remaining players. He told them that permits are now required to use the Central Fields.
I am unhappy with this decision. I have spent uncounted hours enjoying the Central Fields. The space is big. It is open. There is always room to play. It also is very close to home for me. I have played pickup frisbee there for nearly a decade. I also have played pickup football, soccer, softball and more. Suddenly needing a permit to do what has been available for my entire time in the city bothers me.
I do not object to a system for reservations. My softball team plays in an organized league, and we pay our share of the league fee for a permit. A few times we have had park officials help us resolve disputes. Other times, I have participated in informal games that had to move when a permit holder arrived. Our game was not terminated because someone else had reserved the space. It was terminated because this policy is either new or newly enforced.
I wrote the Parks Department. The reply was that they "are now accessible by permit only." I wrote again asking how the change happened. I await a reply. My friend who sends emails for pickup frisbee has heard that poor field conditions were the reason behind the decision. Indeed, this city is a rainy place, and fields become quite muddy. Now in the spring, however, they are at their best, and I hate to be denied the enjoyment of them.
Other objections are easy to see. Public land is there for us to use. Central Fields are public athletic fields. Reservations are necessary to organize a league, but games on different parts of the fields at different times pose no conflict. Additionally, Saint Louis and so many places are in the middle of an obesity epidemic. Restricting access to public exercise is the wrong approach.
Please write to public officials if you care about free access to this terrific public resource. I wrote the Parks Department via this form. After receiving the reply, I decided to write Mayor Francis Slay via this form and Alderman Terry Kennedy via this form about these changes. I hope to receive replies from them soon. This map is helpful for locating city wards and their aldermen. I wrote my pickup email list asking them to write, too. I will continue to post updates. Please share your information and experiences.

"I doubt he/she is depressed…. they just want attention."
That was me. I had developed this dismissive and quite frankly bloody ignorant opinion of Depression. It's not that I didn't believe depression didn't exist or any mental illness for that matter. I just believed it only happened to other people and that 'these people' were walking around like zombie's constantly, never smiling. Of course deep down I had a sneaky suspicion that actually the doomed feeling I woke up with some days, was more than just a general sadness. So I guess you could say this attitude was a result of me completely wanting to protect myself and god forbid ever actually acknowledge feeling 'weak' sometimes.
Instead of speaking to someone and confronting the issue, exercise became my medication… still is. In my late teen's I would exercise every day, so I could feel better for the rest of the day. It started off as 10 minutes running flat out on a treadmill to the point I'm at now… half marathons, spinning classes, endurance walks.
If I don't exercise, I get anxious, irritable and I'm pretty vile to be around.
I didn't actually address my mental wellbeing until very recently and this was only because I was forced to. Last year I got my heartbroken and felt I'd reached rock bottom. Being the very stubborn and private person that I am, I pushed and pushed myself through each day until Christmas came. During the festivities, when everyone was having fun with loved ones, I felt completely overwhelmed with life.
I'm still in the midst of it all, but I'm trying as hard as I can to embrace the helpful resources available and take each day at a time. I'm on medication now to get me through this challenging patch in my life.
I thought I was being strong before, by soldiering on without help, but I truly believe that my biggest mistake was suffering so long in private. One of my biggest regret's is not being brave enough to explain what I was going through, during the lows, to the people who loved me and instead pushing them away."
-By Chloe.

I wake up the next morning when I fall out of bed with a foot pushing against my face… Inari is stretched over three quarters of the bed with a large smile on her sleeping face, while Belinda seems content with her one quarter sleeping peacefully.
At most I will only have to deal with the 28 more days. I resolve myself then and there no matter what happens Inari cannot fail her evaluation at the end of the month. It is getting pretty close to day break so I decide to get ready, and then head downstairs to the kitchen.
I hear a bit of racket right before entering the kitchen and think to myself who else would be up this morning. When I open the door I find Takeshi with a troubled look on his face when he sees me enter. He is cooking some breakfast, but once he spots me he quickly drops to a knee and bows his head.
Takeshi: "I apologize Master, I barely ate last night and was feeling quite hungry so I came to prepare some food without your consent."
"That is quite alright… After all you are the only one in the house that actually needs to eat. Have you made any coffee yet?" –I say while walking over shaking the coffee carafe which is empty so I begin making some coffee.-
Takeshi: "I don't understand."
"We all usually share breakfast together in the morning, even though none of us are required to eat. It gives us all a chance to catch up on what happened the day before, and figure out the plans for the current day."
Takeshi: "I see…" –He returns to making his breakfast.- "So should I begin preparing some more?"
"I'm not sure… What exactly is that you are cooking?"
Takeshi: "I see you had quite a bit of food supplies, but assumed it was just for appearances as I couldn't even find any rice. I did find some eggs so I made this."
"What's rice? And that is eggs?"
Zoey comes trampling though the kitchen sleepily wearing her disheveled pajamas with her hair a mess. "I smell breakfast."
Takeshi seems quite embarrassed and shocked at Zoey's appearance.
"Zoey, we have another guest, do you mind at least making yourself presentable before leaving your room?"
Zoey: "Yea yea… I heard the commotion last night." –She then wraps her arm around Takeshi making him even more nervous as he has to keep forcing himself from looking down her half unbuttoned shirt.- "He is kinda cute for a guy though. Maybe we could borrow him for a few nights instead of Bo. Roxy might like to change things up a little."
"I did summon him, but he isn't bound to the dungeon. He is helping Inari with her training, and then he is free to do as he pleases, so don't treat him like some new plaything…"
Zoey: "I thought he smelled a little funny…" –she then smiles at Takeshi then quietly says.- "Are you helping with all of her needs? You could bring her with and we could make it a party if you want."
Zoey: "Alright!" –She finally let's go of Takeshi and heads out of the kitchen, heading to what I hope is back to her room to get dressed.-
Takeshi is blushing quite a bit while he says. "Did she really mean what I think she did?"
"I think Zoey was just teasing you, but I will have Roxy talk with Zoey later to make sure…"
Takeshi: "Roxy is another one of your monsters?"
"One of my boss monsters, and Zoey's wife, I will introduce you to everyone at breakfast…"
Takeshi: "Wait…That was a guy?"
"Who Zoey? Of course not."
Takeshi: "But you said wife."
"After everything we are, that is what you are getting hung up on? Nobody else has ever seemed to find it strange…"
Takeshi: "Things aren't like that in Shima…"
"Now I don't understand. I just summoned you yesterday, so how do you know how things are in Shima?"
Takeshi: "Didn't you summon all of Inari's things, me, and my things with Shima set as region?"
"Well Belinda thought up the Shima thing for Inari, I didn't intentionally summon you with Shima set as region, but I guess since I was thinking about summoning you for Inari it could of happened. Your gear I did just so they would fit with Inari's…"
Takeshi: "You should have had to manually set it, because even my class is a Shima class."
"So the knowledge you were summoned with is that of what is normal in Shima then?"
Takeshi: "I know a little bit about the areas outside of Shima, but yes I was summoned with the knowledge which would be considered normal to someone from Shima."
"That's good to know. Maybe I should summon a monster from each region just so I can learn about them."
Takeshi: "…"
The girls slowly begin making their way down for breakfast as I help Takeshi, showing him the kinds of things we usually have for breakfast, but he seems fond of some odd seasonings I haven't used before. Scylla, Lilah, and Bell arrive in their pajamas as well.
Lilah is in about the same shape as Zoey was but she doesn't seem to mind, Scylla's pajamas of course are in such a way that even if she were to wear them into town she wouldn't receive any odd looks. She does however head back to her room to change after I introduce her to Takeshi.
Bell however turned and practically ran from the room the moment she entered the dining room in her half buttoned up pajama shirt and shorts after seeing Takashi. By the time Belinda and Inari arrive everyone has returned in their normal clothes other than Lilah who is happily chewing on a piece of toast in her pajamas.
Inari is again in a new one of the robe like outfits this time ironically has a design with little foxes on it. When he sees Inari, Takeshi quickly prepares a breakfast much like the one he made for himself. Kneeling as he presents the breakfast to her.
It smelled kind of odd, and Inari has yet to eat anything yet so I thought it might have been a bad idea but after taking a bite she grabs her cheeks and smiles as she chews seeming to greatly enjoy it causing Takeshi to blush.
I guess even concerning food I am odd even amongst dungeon cores… I was sure by the way Madam Erin talked that no dungeon cores like human food but I guess I was wrong.
Once everyone settles into breakfast we begin to talk. After talking a while about Inari and her training I mention to Belinda about what I learned about Takeshi, she spends the rest of breakfast asking him questions about Shima.
Breakfast is finally over and after kissing Belinda has she heads out the door, Inari, Takeshi, Sofia, and myself head to the dungeon to resume Inari's training. As we are preparing for their first battle Inari and Takeshi make several confident comments to one another so I decide to start the day out with a bang.
Takeshi takes his stance with seriousness and precision, but Inari is slacking a bit when she takes hers as I summon the 2 hobgoblin brutes and hobgoblin elder. They however quickly panic as another identical set appears a few seconds later charging into the fray with the last group.
I didn't expect them to win, I just wanted Inari to focus a little more, but I might have pushed it a bit far. Takeshi tried to take a blow that would have proved fatal to him if it connected were I not on my toes and stopped the hobgoblin.
Inari: "Daddy that was too much! You're mean!"
"You need to take this seriously! If this was a real battle Takeshi would have lost his life."
Inari: "But it's not our fault! It's yours! You knew that group was too much for us!"
Takeshi: "I am sorry Miss Inari…" –He says as she heals his wounds while the hobgoblin stands there next to him just snarling, but making no other movements.-
"You actually did better than I expected there is only one of the brutes and one of the elders left. If you would have taken the battle as serious as Takeshi from the start he might not have ended up in that state."
Inari: "See! You didn't expect us to win from the start!" –She says as I back the two remaining hobgoblins moving to the end of the room.-
"You need to learn that not all battles can be won, you need to make plans for when you find yourself in a battle you can't win. Besides, there are several options that were still available to you that you didn't consider."
Inari: "Like what!"
"You need to figure that out yourself. Now, do you need a rest or are you ready to go again?"
Inari: "Against a normal group or another one like that?"
"Who knows?"
Inari looks at me angrily but she then takes her stance along with Takeshi, this time she is putting all her effort into it. This time I summon 3 more of the hobgoblin brutes to go with the one still left, but not a second elder.
Without the second mage they still take quite a beating but they manage to finish off the group this time. As soon as the battle is over Inari tends to Takeshi's wounds then tells him.
Inari: "It ok if I get hit you know."
Takeshi: "If you are hurt it means I have failed."
Inari: "That is nonsense. I am not made of glass. You would have died during that first fight if Daddy didn't stop that hobgoblin, but I could have taken that blow without much trouble."
Takeshi: "But you already took enough damage from the mage's spells."
Inari: "But I wouldn't have died! You would have! You can't protect me at all if you die."
Takeshi: "It would have been an honor to die protecting you Miss Inari… You could just summon another after I am gone."
Inari: "We can't just replace you!"
"She is right Takeshi. You might feel like giving up your life to protect her is honorable, but what about the xp used for your summoning? That xp is valuable to Inari's training are you saying her xp isn't worth enough to preserve and protect as well?"
Takeshi looks offended… "But…"
Inari: "That's right if you die you are just throwing away my xp so you're not allowed to die without my permission!"
"That isn't quite what I meant, but learning what your teammates can handle and acting accordingly is what is going to keep her alive, not you just throwing yourself at the attacks directed towards her."
Things continue to be awkward for a few more waves but by the 8th wave they are making quite a bit faster progress even with Inari taking more damage. Even still with having to take several breaks that now are beginning to get longer it isn't till noon that she reaches level 9 after on the 10th wave.
"We spent quite a bit of time on breakfast this morning… I don't know if we are going to manage to get you to level 10 today but we are going to push as long as we can with that being the plan."
While Inari rests and checks her status page after leveling up I send Sofia to the house to collect something to eat as all the combat has left Takeshi pretty drained, and his stomach has been making quite a bit of racket for the last hour or so.
The continued use of the hobgoblin brutes and hobgoblin elders has unlocked the hobgoblin hero but at double the cost of the hobgoblin brute I don't think they are quite ready for it yet. After lunch I decide to switch gears and summon 4 of the small weak earth golems.
Inari and Takeshi make short work of the golems they appear to be no stronger than the normal hobgoblins. Before my discount they cost more xp then a hobgoblin elder, but I guess since they don't use equipment their cost is a bit higher.
After having Inari check her xp gain though it appears they still get the xp of the non-discounted price, and with not getting xp off of what the equipment the other monsters were using the golems seem to be quite a bit more effective for leveling up quickly.
Since they had no problem with the little golems I decide to switch out 4 little ones for 1 large one for the next battle, and giving the fact of having to only worry about one monster they actually perform better against it did then they did the 4 little ones. I continue to use a single golem however until after they deal with 4 more waves and Inari has to rest.
When we resume again I increase the size to 2 golems, and by the next time Inari has to rest she has hit level 10. By Takeshi's adventurer ID it says he has gained a level as well.
"The golems made a heck of a difference. You made a lot better progress with them. I think if we continue with them for the rest of the afternoon you will be close to 11 before we will have to call it a day."
There isn't much room on the platform for more than two golems so I will have to leave the attack the same size but maybe I will summon another two as soon as they drop the first two to keep them on their toes.
My plan however is forgotten as Sofia and I are both left shocked when I summon two golems. Inari now summons 12 of the floating balls each glowing so much that they appear as 12 balls of colored flame. 6 of the balls impact one of the golems so hard that it literally knocks it off of its feet.
The other six pelt the other not quite as dramatic as the other 6 but the golem is just as dead. With only her first attack she killed two golems. Surely she can't keep this up though. When I finally regain myself I quickly summon two more. Then two more…
After that one however Inari looks worn out and she quickly calls out. "Hold on Daddy…" She then collapses onto her butt on the floor and Takeshi runs to her side.
Takeshi: "Miss Inari!"
Inari: "I am ok. I just need to rest for a bit."
During their breaks Inari has been continuing the conversation that Belinda started this morning by asking Takashi about Shima. After Inari catches her breath they start it up again meanwhile Sofia looks to me and talks to me where they can't hear.
Sofia: "Shouldn't we back off of her training now?"
"What do you mean?"
Sofia: "She killed 6 golem without giving them even a chance to attack… If she keeps up this growth I am worried about our safety. After seeing the strength of them balls I don't think I could even withstand them if she hit me with them."
"I admit her progress is going quite better then I hoped, but I wanted to get her to level 20 by the end of the month. With how much harder it becomes between levels though I am afraid we will run out of her xp before then."
Sofia: "20? You want her twice as strong as this!? What if she decided to attack you? I am sure at that level none of us will even hold a candle to her…"
"Each one of them balls look to be stronger than the spells I can cast, and she can cast 12 at a time. I am pretty sure we are already at that point."
Sofia: "Then why are you keep pushing for more?"
"If I don't get it my all I can't say I did a good job training her…"
Sofia: "You were getting on to Takashi earlier, but this is pretty much the exact same thing. You are just asking for trouble."
"There are already plenty of dungeon cores and even humans out there that if they wanted to could easily wipe us out. Training her to the best of my ability might be the thing that turns her into an ally in the future rather than just another dungeon core that is stronger than me."
Sofia: "But you aren't even getting anything out of this."
"That isn't true I already learned how to summon a few new monsters and items. Besides I also have a bet with Madam Erin and when I win it I am sure the reward from her will be quite beneficial as well."
Sofia sighs.
"Alright Inari, are you ready yet?"
Inari: "I am sorry Daddy… I am still pretty drained."
"Well while your magic is returning why don't we throw some monsters a bit easier at you and you practice with only your staff?"
Inari: "You promise it will be easier?"
"We will do some of the little golems, maybe start out with 2."
Inari: "Ok I think I can do that…"
For the rest of the evening we two do sets of the small golems then one set of the large golems. But after doing that three times it is starting to get pretty late. Inari didn't hit level 11 but she is getting pretty close.
I didn't see Dyson checking up on us today even though I seem him looking in on some of the others. I didn't look close enough to find out who was who, but I can tell Inari has no competition among any of the cores much less the ones the old elders train using their outdated rules.
Dyson has already been questioning me about Inari's training I wonder how long it will be before his curiosity gets the best of him. Just taking my word for it has been enough for him but I am sure sooner or later that won't be enough.
We quit Inari's training early enough today just to catch the last bit of dinner before everyone headed out retiring for the day. For not having to eat we sure spend a lot of time in this room. Other than our bedrooms it is just about the only other room we do use unless throwing a party.
After we finishing dinner while Belinda is cleaning up I pull Inari to the side out in the hallway.
"I honestly don't care what you do tonight as long as you stay out of my room. If you do choose to do anything that would upset Belinda, you better not let anyone find out about it."
Inari has a devious smile on her face as she says. "I promised Daddy. Cross my heart."
I set [Menu] to track Inari's and Takeshi's movements just so they don't cause problems for the dungeon, but more than that I don't care. I then return to Belinda and help her finish clean up.
After heading to our rooms Belinda and I finally get our time alone. We even get to share a warm relaxing bath. Shortly after retiring to our rooms is seems Inari practically dragged Takashi back to her room, but they haven't left her room so I don't care.
I was so happy about getting to have my time with Belinda, but by the next morning I am starting to wonder if that was the right decision. I need to at least make sure Inari didn't make Takeshi do something he didn't want to, because with how I set up [Menu] I can't actually see them but from the details I can make out he appears to be huddled in one of the corners of her room while Inari is sprawled across the bed.
After getting ready I give Belinda a kiss on the cheek and tell her I am heading downstairs to start breakfast. She slowly opens her eyes and smiles at me which makes me want to change my mind, but after reaching up and giving me a kiss she lays down pulling the blanket over her head which gives me enough resolve to leave the room.
When I head downstairs I find Takeshi trying to sneak out of Inari's room, for some reason he even has is sword with him. He sees me and quickly begins to panic.
"I am heading down to go make breakfast. Since you are up, do you want to give me some help?"
Takeshi looks confused and doesn't seem to know what to do. He quickly puts his sword up in his own room then joins me as I head to the kitchen. Even after starting the coffee and beginning to make breakfast he helps out, but doesn't say anything wearing a guilty look on his face.
"You alright? You know just between you and me I told Inari it was alright last night, so you don't have to worry about it. Unless she did something you didn't want to do."
Takeshi: "Oh I see…But I promise, I would never take advantage of your daughter."
"I was sure it would have been the other way around."
Takeshi: "On my honor I promise I would never… I even put my foot down when she tried to insist I help her bathe. After that she eventually gave up and went to sleep."
"I see… If that is all that happened is it really such a big deal to get all worked up about?"
Takeshi: "If that is all? Staying in Miss Inari's room I wouldn't even be surprised for you to ask for my head!"
"You do realize that Inari isn't really Belinda and my daughter right?"
Takeshi: "Pardon…?"
"Inari isn't my daughter. I thought monsters that were summoned knew all about dungeon cores, they can't have children."
Takeshi: "But Miss Inari said it was because your unusual core that it was possible… She even shares your unique lack of element. Even being summoned in your dungeon something like that surely wouldn't carry over…"
"I assure you, she was just born the day before you were summoned on the day the new cores are born… I don't know how she ended up without an element like I did, even if she is a divine beastkin she is still a beastkin, and neither Belinda or I are beastkin so how would that be possible?"
Takeshi: "Then why does she insist you are both her parents, even going as far to lie to me about it?"
"I have been trying to figure that out since she was born… If I could figure it out maybe I wouldn't have be so cautious of her."
Takeshi moves over to a chair in the dining room and collapses in it with a look on his face like his entire life is a lie.
Takeshi: "How can she train like an adventurer then, and why doesn't she have a training dungeon then? I mean everything about how her [Menu] and things like that all seemed to make sense if she was your daughter and not a normal core…"
Takeshi listens as I tell him about what Dyson did regarding the training this year, and my plan for training Inari, he has the ultimate command so I don't hold nothing back. Takeshi seems to take the information kind of hard for some reason.
The girls begin to arrive for breakfast so the conversation is dropped among the other conversations that begin to pop up. That is until Inari arrives, and Takeshi quickly stands his chair sliding across the floor.
Takeshi: "You lied to me!"
Inari just entering the room looks surprised and confused at Takeshi's sudden action and outburst. The rest of the room suddenly grows quiet.
Inari: "…Hu?"
Takeshi: "You're just a normal dungeon core! How could you lie to me and tell me you were Master's daughter."
Inari now looks offended. "I never lied to you! I am dungeon core #245, but Daddy and Mommy are still Daddy and Mommy!"
Belinda walks in at the yelling looking confused. Inari sees her and runs to her wrapping her arms around her and begins to cry.
Belinda: "What's going on…?"
Inari: "Takeshi was being mean to me, even after I shared my bed with him last night!
Belinda: "Wait what!?"
Takeshi looks taken aback and quickly shifts gear. "Miss Belinda I assure you nothing happened!"
Inari: "But you told me to take off my Kimono!"
Takeshi: "To change into your night clothes! I even tried to leave the room but you wouldn't let me!"
Inari: "Then you snuggled up to me on my bed!"
Takeshi: "You made me! You said you always sleep with Master and Miss Belinda and couldn't go to sleep alone!"
Inari: "He said he would be gentle and then started scratching me behind the ears and rubbing my back…"
Takeshi: "Again at your request! You said Master did that to help you fall asleep!"
Inari begins to sniffle. "He even had his sword, I was afraid to tell him no…"
Takeshi: "I am supposed to protect you! Of course I had my sword!"
The rest of the room is captivated by the conversation their heads snapping back and forth with each exchange.
Belinda: "Two-Twelve! Are you going to just stand there after what this brute did to our daughter?!"
Belinda then leads Inari from the room while talking quietly to her. After of a few minutes of just speechlessness I receive a message from Belinda:
Belinda: "She said nothing happened after that, but I don't care! He has to go, and stay away from our daughter!"
I move over and collapse in a chair. "What just happened…?"
The next one to say something is Zoey. "Woooo someone's in trouble!"
Takeshi: "I promise Master it wasn't like that!"
"I believe you… This is getting out of hand though we are going to have to do something about Belinda."
Takeshi: "What about Miss Inari's training?"
"Well this is all her doing, if she isn't going to take her training seriously there isn't much I can do about it. Sofia do you think you can handle her training till I can talk with Belinda?"
Sofia: "I guess… But what do you want me to do?"
"Just keep doing like I was last night, she should have a lot of difficulty with it without Takeshi's help. Don't let her die, but make sure she gets the point.
Takeshi: "What do you want me to do then?"
"For now we will just have you hide out in your room till we get this all figured out…"
I head out of the room I find Belinda and Inari in Belinda and my bedroom. Inari doesn't look upset at all now laughing while talking to Belinda. When she sees me Inari runs over to me hugging me.
Inari: "Daddy! Did you make the bad man go away?"
"He is taken care of, but I need to talk to mommy… So why don't you go back downstairs with Sofia and she will start your training for today."
Inari: "But Daddy… I need a new body guard now."
"I am sorry but we will have to make due for now, now run along Sofia is waiting for you."
I am not quite sure what Inari's intention was with all this, but it has seemed to come crashing down around her as she has a troubled expression and seems to be thinking awfully hard. I scoot her out the door then shut it.
Inari doesn't sound like she leaves from in front the door, but after a good 10 seconds or so I then hear her walk off heading back downstairs, I confirm it with the screen I still had open from earlier.
Belinda: "I think you should be with Inari to make sure she is ok."
"She will be fine Sofia is going to look after her. I have to ask though, what is the deal with you and Inari? When it wasn't being too much of a problem I was letting it go, but that back there…What was that?"
Belinda: "What do you mean?"
"Ever since Inari has been born you have been acting quite strange. It is almost like you are starting to believe her about being her mother."
Belinda: "What are you talking about? Of course I am her mother!"
"She is a dungeon core, she doesn't have a mother any more than I do."
Belinda: "I might have not given birth to her, but she was born from your dungeon. She even has taken traits from you like a child would. Does it really matter as long as she wants to be our daughter?"
"I am not really sure what she wants…But is clear she is trying to manipulate your emotions about it."
Belinda: "Inari wouldn't do that!"
"That is exactly what I mean! What about after the month is over and she gets her own dungeon?"
Belinda: "She could place her dungeon nearby, and we could stay together."
"I hope that doesn't happen… She is already strong enough to pose a danger to our dungeon, if she gets mad at us like she did with Takeshi and tried to wipe us out. In a few short months' time we probably would be unable to do anything about it."
Belinda: "After what he did to her can you blame her for being upset?"
"I don't know what happened, but what I do know is honor is everything to Takashi do you really think someone like that would do something like Inari was suggesting?"
Belinda: "Maybe you just don't know him like you think you do."
"Inari was the one that started it all, she was the one that led Takashi into her bedroom, and I am sure she had far more plans for him then what happened."
Belinda: "How could you possibly know that?"
"Like I said she is capable of causing great harm to our dungeon, do you think I would let her walk around it freely without knowing what she is up to and when?"
Belinda: "Then it has got to be all some kind of misunderstanding."
"If it is then it is one she purposely orchestrated, I don't know what her plan is yet, but I would feel a lot more comfortable if you keep a bit of distance from her till she is done with her training."
Belinda: "You're being unreasonable!"
"I have never used a ultimate command on any of you girls and I never want to, but if it comes to having to use one to keep any of you safe from harm I promise I won't hesitate to do it."
Belinda: "You wouldn't…"
"Please… Just trust me, and distance yourself from the situation a bit and look at it from the outside. I need to go see how the training is going."
I try to kiss Belinda but she turns her head so I kiss her cheek then transfer to the dungeon."

Brad P. The Pheromone Kid success – Field Report
Hey everyone! Without further ado here is my field report about the Pheromone Kid success which I promised in this post. Please read that post for very essential information. The nuances are crucial and cannot be delivered in a blog post. Listen to the Pheromone Kid interview to get the hang of it, seriously. The field report is so to get you inspired and prove to you that IT WORKS.
The pickup:
So I'm out at the club. It was not too crowded and the atmosphere was cool. I was approaching a lot, sort of in 'work mode', i.e. dedicated to approaching but not doing it like a robot and a soulless freak. I was putting my heart in the approaches, but just made sure that I'm doing a lot of them - as a rule of thumb, not missing out on obviously cool situations. I didn't approach girls with boyfriends or bullshit like that, but any 'classic' situation, I pushed myself to give it a try.
Most of the approaches were not going anywhere, I wasn't harshly rejected except one girl (who most would define as a 9 I believe), who didn't blow me out rudely but kind of answered coldly and then just stopped participating in the conversation waiting for me to leave. I counted to 10 and left, moving on, no hassle, no hard feelings.
In fact, all this action kind of got me 'in the zone' and I decided to try do the Pheromone Kid move. I tried it one time before and and the girl was like laughing a bit and said 'no thanks'. It was in good spirit so no tragedy there but nothing real came out of it. In retrospect, I think I did it too much out of the blue without any vibe, so it fell flat. But anyway I decide to go for it again.
So there's a cute girl there sitting near the dance floor which I was eying before and already knew that she's there with girl friends so I figured maybe she'll be open to this approach (won't be worried about her male friends or boyfriend). I came over and said 'hey'. She says 'hey'. Started some neutral conversation. How's your night and so on. Did the horse girl opener from Instant Attraction. She laughed. Atmosphere was positive between us - this is key. Then I went for the kill.
'Hey listen, all this talking to you and you're quite a hot girl, has made me kind of horny. Now I'm not going to be rude and try something physical with you so quickly, but I'm like going to the bathroom to like, relieve myself. Would you like to come and watch? I think it will be kinda hot'.
She looks at me for a few seconds and goes 'that's the craziest thing I've ever heard'. I improvise: 'doesn't it make it even more hot?' She's says: 'hmmm..' I don't let her finish her thoughts and say 'come on let's go to the bar'.
Basically she didn't buy into it right away as you can see. But she wasn't freaked out and the vibe didn't turn sour. I avoided the maybe-upcoming awkward moment by immediately offering to go to the bar - which is cool because we can change atmosphere, have a drink together and I can try to escalate, regardless of the initial 'come with me to the bathroom' thing.
So we went together to the bar. Now you may be thinking: "ok so, you made the move, she didn't buy it, now you went to the bar which doesn't necessarily mean anything. how come you say it worked?"
Well here's why. Once we arrived at the bar like 20 seconds later, her entire attitude changed. She became much more sexual towards me. The bar had $2 beer so I just ordered 2 beers without asking her what she wants, making it obvious that we're just getting cheap drinks together and it's not that I'm 'sponsoring' her alcohol or anything.
Once we had the beers in our hands she started getting really close to me. Seductive looks, putting her face right in front of mine, sexual silence. It was more than obvious that she was looking for me to make a move and kiss her. I put my beer on a table next to us, she did the same right away without even looking at it. You have to be a moron not to move for the kiss now and I did.
We started making out like mad. She was all over me, hands all over me and constantly venturing towards my dick but not really getting there, which I figured was because we were in public, and she wasn't ready to go that far in public. It was like her saying 'I want to, but not here'. I was wondering if I ask her about the bathroom again, if she will comply this time. But decided not to take the risk. Why? I firmly believed it's full on, why start with bathroom stuff? I need to try to pull her home. That's what crossed my mind anyway.
I took her by the hand and said 'let's go out and get some air'. We went out and walked for like 2 minutes - which was towards the taxi stand (deliberately on my part). We kept sexually touching with our hands (hands touching hands sexually) during this time - meaning it's still very on.
Once we were near the taxis I said 'I know a place we can get some great drinks, come on'. We just went into the taxi. She knew what's going on 100%. Gave the driver my address, went to my place and went upstairs. Put some music on, started kissing again, and had a wild night. Mind you no alcohol was consumed not at my place and even in the club, we bought the cheap beers and left them there without taking even a sip.
So that's what happened, and here's my short recap and analysis:
- Went out, kept good mood and active mood (approached a lot). Many approaches didn't pan out, no worries. If anything it got me to be more daring.
- Got in the daring mood, tried the Pheromone Kid move on a girl. Started with milder conversation, vibe was positive so went for it.
- She did NOT fall for it per se. I didn't take her to the bathroom. Avoided awkwardness and told her let's go to the bar.
- This was key because in this very short walk to the bar, the PHEROMONE KID MAGIC happened. While she didn't fall for the move per se, it got her really sexual and horny, she literally made up her mind she wants to have sex with me, period. This would have NOT happened if I didn't run Pheromone Kid. Bottom line is Pheromone Kid turned the tables here.
Pheromone Kid definitely works -- but be flexible how you run it. She may not fall for the initial opener per se, but it can get her super sexually charged and if you play it right, you hit the jackpot. I think me creating a positive vibe before running the actual opener and spinning away from awkwardness when it presented itself was key.
Go and run Pheromone Kid. But be sure you get the feel of this method 100% right before you do, otherwise you'll just be the worst freak. The interview of Pheromone kid with Brad P. does a very good job with delivering this method.
Hopefully my report got you inspired! Ask questions in the comments!

Car driving is one of the most pleasurable moments that lets you to explore some of the whelming locations across the globe. When it comes to drive on the desert locations, you need to be wise enough in adapting proper drive machine and showcase your driving excellency. The North-Western region in India is mostly covered with desert tropical regions, but has some of the most exotic traveling spots to explore. To drive on the locations like Rajasthan's Thar Desert, you must be aware about the following desert driving tips:-
1.When you drive on desert roads, you must ensure that you drive a vehicle that has good height. SUVs or four wheel drive crossovers are considered as good options to drive on the desert surface.
2. Prior you begin your desert expedition, ensure that you get your vehicle properly checked. Get the proper and high quality tyres installation in your car as it would give tough base to the vehicle and will help to cross the sand dunes quite easily. Do remember to carry a balanced inflated spare wheel as a substitute.
3. Always ensure that you carry a tool kit while you are out for long journeys. Tool kit should include tyre tools, pliers, screwdrivers, extra motor oil, wrenches, spare fuses, jumper cables, an extra radiator hoses and fan belts. The car must also be equipped with a fire extinguisher and shovel for digging a sand stucked car. You can also add a heavy chain to tow the car.
4. While traveling in desert plans and hilly areas, it is advisable to travel in groups or with a convoy vehicle. Most often it happens that a vehicle gets stucked in desert, therefore, if a back up vehicle is available it becomes easier to get the stucked vehicle out of the sand. You can load the convoy carrier with the necessary stuff like food and daily supplies.
5. Always check the weather forecasts prior you plan to go on desert traveling as the desert regions most often face with thunder storms. Read more : Top 10 simple Tricks To Double Your Car's Fuel Efficiency
6. Sometimes, the sand adjustments on deserts are very loose that cannot bear heavy load of car, hence you must check the length of soft desert section by feet. In case you do not have an extra convoy or back up vehicle, try to avoid rushing on the soft part of desert. This prevents the vehicle from getting stucked in desert.
7. Seek for the regions covered with mud and avoid traveling through them or seek for the alternative routes. Mud can sometimes stuck even the four wheel drive vehicles and also it dirts the vehicle.
8. Desert roads most often have deep ruts and high centers. The ridge of desert can be so high that it can cause a lot of damage to your running machine or can severely stuck it.
9. If you are running your vehicle in a straight direction towards a steep dune and the rear end starts slipping sideways, it is advisable to accelerate marginally as it provides more strength and stability to the vehicle. Avoid using brakes while drive on deserts as the brakes transfer the weight to the front wheels, thereby increasing the chances of vehicle getting stuck.
10. While turning on desert surfaces, enhance the turning radius of your car i.e. take long turns as it allows the vehicle to turn more smoothly without getting stuck. The front wheel of car acts like a rudder and when you take sharp turns, it stucks the tyres.
11. It is always advisable to drive slowly as it not only allows you to move safely in desert but also prevents the vehicle from getting jammed in mud or sand.

WALES battled to their first competitive victory in almost two years against Montenegro in Cardiff last night and did neighbours England a huge favour in the race to qualify for next year's finals out of Group G.
The visitors arrived in Wales undefeated and joint leaders of the group and must surely have expected to overcome the Welsh underdogs whose previous meaningful win had come in Liechtenstein back in October 2009.
The only disappointment for Wales was a booking for Craig Bellamy which rules him out with Tuesday's match with England at Wembley.
But Gary Speed's team recovered from a timid start to take the game to their opponents and, with Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey providing most of the threat going forward, they were well worth the 2-0 lead they established until Montenegro mounted a desperate late attempt to salvage a point.
The two teams took to the field accompanied by youngsters from Wrexham and District Youth League club, Llay United – part of their prize for being named community club of the year by the Wales Football Trust.
And with the exception of defender James Collins, who is suspended for one match, and midfielder Jack Collison, who was confined to bed with a stomach upset earlier in the week, Speed was able to name a near full-strength line-up.
Cardiff City's Darcy Blake, who impressed as a second half substitute against Australia last month and scored the consolation goal in a 2-1 defeat, deputised for the Aston Villa man and David Vaughan came into midfield alongside captain Ramsey.
But it was visiting midfielder Stevan Jovetic who got the contest off to an explosive start, breaking in from the right to make room for a shot that was not too far wide of Wayne Hennessey's far post.
The Fiorentina man established himself just behind strikers Mirok Vucinic and Radomir Dalovic and the trio caused plenty of early problems for the home defence with the accuracy of their passing and their pace both on and off the ball.
And the visitors were obviously under orders to shoot on sight, although none of several hopeful efforts from outside the penalty area came anywhere close to bothering Hennessey.
Wales, though, refused to panic and with Ramsey and Vaughan directing operations they gradually played themselves into contention. And Bale, deployed on the right wing, created his side's first chance in the 19th minute.
Getting the better of Sasa Balic, he swung over a cross and, although Joe Ledley went down under a strong challenge, the ball reached Craig Bellamy who was unable to get enough power in the shot to worry Mladen Bozovic.
But it was encouraging for Wales and as their confidence increased, it was the visitors who found themselves on the back foot, eventually going behind in the 29th minute.
Vaughan was the instigator, running into space on the left to take Ramsey's pass before delivering a low cross into the six-yard area where Bozovic was able only to parry and Steve Morison fired home from close in to register his first international goal in his ninth outing.
Two minutes later the Montenegro keeper was called into action again, turning Bale's 30-yarder over his crossbar and after Dalovic squandered a fine chance to level, it needed a goal-line clearance by Elsad Zverotic to prevent Ashley Williams doubling the Wales lead as the goalkeeper flapped again under a high ball.
Wales began the second half as they had finished the first, taking the game to the visitors and they were rewarded for their enterprise in the 50th minute, Bale easing past Balic again before teeing up Ramsey for a simple second goal.
Three minutes later it was Bellamy's turn to torment the visitors' defence before picking out Bale, whose header was comfortably held by Bozovic, and almost immediately afterwards Ledley ran from deep to find acres of space but just failed to control a 40-yard pass from the Spurs winger.
With Vaughan hoovering up everything loose in the middle of the field, Speed felt comfortable enough to replace Ramsey in the 64th minute, former Wrexham loanee Andrew Crofts coming on to provide a bit more steel and the change signalled a more defensive mindset for Wales.
Montenegro needed no second invitation and for the first time since the break they threatened through Simon Vukcevic, whose shot from 12 yards was turned away by Hennessey at the expense of a corner.
And the substitution appeared even more misguided when the visitors pulled a goal back in the 71st minute, Jovetic smashing a venomous shot past Hennessey from 12 yards.
Wales needed to relieve the pressure and, inevitably, Bale delivered when he played a one-two with Bellamy before curling a shot just wide that served as a reminder to the visitors not to throw caution to the wind.
But the last few minutes were nervy for Wales, Hennessy saving well from Jovetic in the 85th minute and Ashley Williams completing the clearance as Andrija Delibasic closed in on the rebound.

Here are 10 things you should know about the immortal Irving Berlin, born 130 years ago today. The great Jerome Kern once said of Berlin, "Irving Berlin has no place in American music—he is American music," and we couldn't agree more. Perhaps no songwriter's works are heard more often on Cladrite Radio.
Tag: Smile and Show Your Dimple
Happy 129th Birthday, Irving Berlin!
The immortal Irving Berlin was born Israel Isidor Baline in Tolochin, Russian Empire, 129 years ago today. The great Jerome Kern once said of Berlin, "Irving Berlin has no place in American music—he is American music," and we couldn't agree more. Perhaps no songwriter's works are heard more often on Cladrite Radio. Here are 10 IB Did-You-Knows:
- Berlin's father, Moses, a cantor in a synagogue, moved his family to New York City when Irving was five to escape anti-Jewish pogroms. Berlin said his only memory of Russia was lying on a blanket by the road as a young child and watching the family home burn to the ground.
- Moses, unable to find work as a cantor, worked instead in a kosher meat market near the family's home on the Lower East Side and gave Hebrew lessons on the side. He died when Berlin was just 13. Irving began working as a newsboy at age eight, hawking The New York Evening Journal, and his mother, Lena, worked as a midwife.
- While selling papers on the Bowery, Berlin was exposed to the popular music of the day pouring out of the neighborhood's saloons and restaurants. He began to sing some of those songs as he sold papers, and picked up some spare change from appreciative customers in return.
- At 14, feeling he wasn't contributing enough to the family's welfare, he moved out, spending his nights in a series of lodging houses along and near the Bowery. He at first made his living stopping in saloons and singing songs for tips, but before long, he took a job singing at Tony Pastor's Music Hall in Union Square and at 18, he got a job as a singing waiter at the Pelham Cafe in Chinatown. All the while, he was teaching himself to play piano during his off-hours.
- Berlin's first hit, Alexander's Ragtime Band, created a ragtime craze that reached even his native Russia.
- It's estimated that Berlin, one of the few songwriters of his era who composed both lyrics and melody, wrote as many as 1,500 songs, including the scores for 19 Broadway shows and 18 Hollywood films. His songs received seven "Best Original Song" Academy Award nominations, with White Christmas, written for the 1942 picture Holiday Inn, earning Berlin an Oscar.
- Berlin was not a fan of Elvis Presley's recording of White Christmas, going so far as to send a letter to the nation's top radio stations, requesting that they not play it over the air.
- All Berlin's songs were written solely on the black keys of the piano, which is the key of F Sharp. His specially constructed piano had pedals that changed the key for Berlin.
- Berlin's hit song Easter Parade was a reworking of one of his earlier songs, Smile and Show Your Dimple.
- Despite his association with the holiday, Christmas was a bittersweet day for Berlin, whose infant son, Irving Berlin, Jr., died on Christmas 1928 of typhoid fever.
Happy birthday, Irving Berlin, wherever you may be!
A Berlin parade
As a small Easter egg for the Cladrite Radio community, we thought we'd offer the following:
Did you know that the lovely Irving Berlin standard "Easter Parade" is a reworking of an earlier Berlin tune? It's true. In 1917, Berlin wrote a song called "Smile and Show Your Dimple." That song wasn't particularly well received, so in 1933, when writing for the Broadway musical revue "As Thousands Cheer," Berlin revisited the song, writing new lyrics and tweaking the melody a bit to create the song that is still so well known today.
Just as a bit of trivia, "Easter Parade" was performed in "As Thousands Cheer" by Marilyn Miller and Clifton Webb.
So we're sharing a 1933 recording below of Webb singing the song backed by the Leo Reisman Orchestra, along with a 1942 Harry James rendition, a 1939 recording by the Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians, Bing Crosby singing the song backed by the Victor Young Orchestra in 1948, a Gene Austin recording from 1933, and a 1917 recording by Sam Ash of the song that fostered "Easter Parade," "Smile and Show Your Dimple."
"Easter Parade" — Clifton Webb with the Leo Reisman Orchestra
"Easter Parade" — Harry James and His Orchestra
"Easter Parade" — Guy Lombardo and His Orchestra
"Easter Parade" — Bing Crosby with the Victor Young Orchestra

Whats the creepiest scene you have watch on the anime Another ?
Mine is everytime the setting turns into its creepy sound effects, everything is worth a fright.. ... :O
On Hiatus. Watching Shokugeki No Souma and Black Clover
I have no idea why, but on the very first episode, when he's talking to the girl with the glasses, and suddenly some sharp horror sound happens and her eyes open widely shat me up.
*****Completely inactive, no other accounts*****
Episode 4 was probably the most scariest for me. When Mei starts telling Kouichi that he is probably the only one that can see her.
The music also never ceases to keep me on the edge of my chair.
Tʜᴇ ʀᴏᴀᴅ ᴛᴏ sᴜᴄᴄᴇss ɪs ᴀʟᴡᴀʏs ᴜɴᴅᴇʀ ᴄᴏɴsᴛʀᴜᴄᴛɪᴏɴ.
Another reminds me of Final destination
My future username: NuRx93
I would have to say whenever they are in the China Doll store.. idk i find it SOOO creepy in there,, and always scrae myself really bad...
and also the first episode is rlly creepy
We Are All Broken
Hmmm.. I've watched a lot of gore and creepy Anime... (so many I barely remember some..)
but what retained on my mind would be GHOST HUNT especially the Doll House and The Bloodstained Labyrinth Arcs
Raped By A Cute Green Haired Highschool Girl
Yea i agree with susanholland4, i really hate dolls in real life so it creeps me out every time he goes there.
Unattainable dreams are the best kind
Is this anime scary? What's it about?? I'm scared to watch scary animes but like them What's it about?

In 1972, there was a student named Misaki in Yomiyama Middle School's 3-3 class. An honors student who was also good at sports, Misaki was very popular among his peers, and even the teachers were fond of him. When he suddenly died from an unspecified accident, the shocked class decided to carry on as if Misaki was still alive. However, when class 3-3's graduation photo was taken, they saw someone in the shot who should not have been there—Misaki.[1]
In spring 1998, 15-year-old middle school student Kōichi Sakakibara moves from Tokyo to his late mother's hometown of Yomiyama, due to his father's work in India. There, he transfers to Yomiyama Middle School's 3-3 class. Because of a pneumothorax (a punctured left lung), he has to be hospitalized just before school starts.[2] In the hospital, class delegates Kazami and Sakuragi go to pay him a visit. Before being discharged, Kōichi meets in the elevator a young girl in a school uniform with an eyepatch. She goes to the basement floor (where the morgue is located), saying she had to deliver something to her "other half", and leaves him her name: Mei Misaki.[3]
Kōichi finally attends school and tries to adapt, but can't help but notice the strange behavior of his classmates. Mei, the girl he met at the hospital, is in the same class as his, but her desk looks old and different from the rest. She is always alone, and nobody seems to react to her presence or try to talk to her. Kōichi first thinks that is a case of bullying, but realizes that even the staff are acting the same way. He also notices that his class is also the only one that practices P.E. separately.[4]
Kōichi asks his aunt Reiko and his new friends, Kazami and Teshigawara, about Mei; however, his classmates warn him to "stop hanging out with something that doesn't exist".[5] His aunt also introduces him to the urban legends and "rules" of the school. Suddenly, on a rainy day, Yukari Sakuragi is killed when she falls down the school stairs, her neck getting pierced by the sharp end of her umbrella.[6]
With the mystery growing around him, Kōichi tries to uncover the history of class 3-3. He learns of the "Misaki incident" 26 years ago, in 1972. Kōichi realizes that 26 years ago, his mother was a student in the same class, meaning that she may have died because of her link to that class.[7] He tries to find if there is some kind of connection. In the process, he asks Sanae Mizuno, a nurse at the Yomigaoka hospital, to investigate the reason Mei was there.[8] However, Mizuno dies the next month, when the hospital elevator she was riding falls down the shaft.
you should watch it
On Hiatus. Watching Shokugeki No Souma and Black Clover
Probably episode 3 (Bone Work) the last thing i expected happened. Come to think of it that's in every episode!
I will never carry an umbrella up stairs for the rest of my life.
Kill me, please.
creepiest would be a protagonist that day dreams about dancing with a girl with drool about to come out of his mouth.
His Holiness Optimus Maximus Decimus Meridius Colossus Nemesis Nexus Genesis
Mm! I'll try this out..
can't think of any.. for some reason, horror animes like "higurashi no naku koro ni" and "another" aren't really scary! they can get your heart racing for a bit, but nothing major.
the episode is getting exciter and exciter......
can't wait to watch the next episode ... :))
now that Kouichi and Mei doesn't exist in their classroom.. But how can they solve the questioned mystery?
A must watch anime

The day starts with breakfast on the balcony, the alternative: having breakfast in the hotel-assigned restaurant was not so tempting in comparison, despite the voucher.
The selection is plentiful and enough for all of us and a small rest is shipped to Su's topcase bar, as a tactical reserve for the day. nearby
We enjoy the calm and stress-free start in the day. Slowly we manage to adapt to the location and leave our hectic everyday life behind us completely. Similar to pilgrimages, the "monotony" of the daily routine is very meditative and creates a unique atmosphere.
Video-Link: https://youtu.be/fUeFOyq-CII
So we start the day super easy by throwing the luggage over the balcony parapet to the motorcycles and shortening the towing around the block dramatically. And, since the "packing up" is already routine, we are on the road very fast despite all the lazyness.
The sun is shining, but it's still quite fresh (14°) and we are happy to have a few more layers underneath the motorcycle outfit. Shortly after Palanga we meet extremely low "clouds"? that sometimes float away within reach, and sometimes lie like fog over the landscape.
In the shade it is even cooler, so we hold it again to increase our layers even more.
So we drive through slightly hilly terrain in Siauliai and then a short distance to the north on the A12, in order to turn right again. So quickly we have reached Kryziu Kalnas, the mountain of crosses.
The parking lot is almost full and the first buses arrive already, so we leave the souvenir shops on the left for the time being and enter the toilet (the first and last time on our trip, where it really costs something – is also tip, top. Finally, we wander on foot the last 400m towards the crosses.
Nevertheless, the bus mob is still behind us and so we can almost undisturbed take the first lap on the narrow paths through the enormous accumulation of crosses.
There are large, small, old, new, wooden, stone and metal crosses and all this shows, despite the mass, a certain deep spirituality that exists here in Lithuania, despite, or even because of the oppression during the Soviet period.
We also see a family (which despite the ban) erecting a new medium sized cross. I distance myself spatially from the mountain, in order to let the whole thing affect me with a little distance, it is simply too violent from close up.
The temperature has meanwhile risen to 25° and so we get rid of ourselves on the way back to the motorcycles of our shifts, in order to drive now around some more freely to the north, towards the border. But before we enter the souvenir shop and finally we manage to buy patches and stickers from Lithuania.
Once again we stop at the border crossing, which is also picturesque in the area and with its shady shrubs offers protection from the warm sun.
In good tradition, this border crossing is also documented for the loving ones at home, before we continue on our way.
And again we turn away from the direttissima to Riga and drive eastwards, parallel to the border to take a closer look at the castle of Rundäle.
The idea came, together with the castle Bauska, from Renate, and the visit is definitely worth the detour.
The castle complex of Rundäle is a classical baroque summer palace with a park. Little Schönbrunn, so to speak. The small, but subtle difference?
Moose antlers; -) on the wall of the main corridor.
The grounds are very spacious, with parks and cafes and beautifully shaped. The whole complex shows the efforts to restore lost values of the past and to incorporate the changing history of the Baltic States into its own history.
During our tour through the terrain, a large black cloud stretches in the sky to the north. We know the sign nowadays only too well, that means putting on raincoats or taking an alternative course as soon as possible.
We decide for the second one and start off towards Bauska to stop there for a short while and have a look at the partially restored castle of Bauska before we swing on our motorcycles for the last time for today and head towards Riga.
This time the navigation doesn't leave us in the stick on the last kilometres and so we arrive at our hotel Mercure Riga Centre.
A view of the hotel and our booking leaves us in doubt?
130, – € for three persons and 2 nights, incl. breakfast? Probably the broom closet at the attic and mattresses on the floor to sleep?
Okay, let's get rid of the thought. We'll see about that.
And what we see is a huge room with a view over the square in front of us, huge beds, a monster tv screen. And, an enormously large bathroom, which we turn into a laundry room right after showering, with crisscross stretched laundry lines. In any case: It doesn't look that noble anymore. ; -)
Afterwards, a short rest is called for. Su sews her new patches on the robe, Renate checks the extra bed and I write these lines.
When the hair is dry again, we leave for the old town. Since it will be dark at almost 24:00 anyway, and we don't have a day of driving tomorrow – yes, we still have our reserve day completely unspoiled and so we will use it for an extensive Riga tour. This evening it can take a little longer until we get to bed….. ha, ha, ha… as if… (but we don't want to know that anyway).
On the way to the Oldtown we pass the main railway station (incl. huge shopping mall), the canal (old town moat) and the National Opera House. And take pictures of a historic tram set that circles around the city, before entering the narrow alleys of the old town.
There's a lot of activity, all the places are full of guests. We decide to visit the Steiku Haoss because of the hot live music in front of the restaurant.
And the name is the name of the game and therefore we seized the moment. 🙂
It takes a while, the restaurant is also full, but from our place we can hear the music well and we see the musicians in action all the time, so there can be no boredom.
An astonishing number of staff is on, too. No restaurant in Austria could pay for these number of personnel. As it seems, personnel costs nothing compared to the well-off European prices on the menu.
After a while the steaks arrive and they taste delicious!
The atmosphere is good, but at some point (it's getting really dark now) we want to pay, but we are invited by Renate to dinner – she enjoyed the day so much!, and then we head back to the hotel.
On the way back we briefly raid a souvenir shop so that we also have Latvian stickers and patches for our collection, and we watch the rowing boats in the canal as they glide quietly over the water with lanterns.
A truly atmospheric end to a wonderful day. (And, not a single raindrop!)

In last week's weekly tax brief, we highlighted an increase in penalties for those found to have deliberately understated their income. The figures also show that HMRC are seeking more penalties for 'careless' errors, which could suggest that innocent people are being unfairly punished. However, an increase in suspended penalties highlights HMRC's 'yellow card' warning system in an attempt to change behaviour – but shouldn't this approach apply to the majority of 'careless' mistakes?
New figures obtained by RSM under a freedom of information request reveal that the number of penalties imposed on taxpayers for making 'careless' errors in their tax returns have risen by two thirds (66 per cent) in the last year.
In 2015/16, HMRC imposed 142,775 penalties for inaccuracies resulting from a failure to take reasonable care, up from 85,583 in 2014/15.
This rise in penalties reflects an increasing willingness within HMRC to challenge taxpayers who file inaccurate returns.
However, it is possible for taxpayers who incur such penalties to ask for conditions to be set which will demonstrate to HMRC a likely change of behaviour to ensure future returns are accurate. In such circumstances, the penalty can be suspended for a period of up to two years.
HMRC's figures show that an increasing proportion of these 'careless' penalties are indeed being given a yellow rather than a red card. In 2015/16 more than half of careless penalties were suspended, up from a third in the previous year.
This increased use of suspended penalties is almost certainly a response to criticism levelled at HMRC by the First tier Tribunal. Recent judgments have directed HMRC to offer suspension more readily to errant taxpayers. Assuming that HMRC follows the Tribunal's line of thought, we should see even more penalties being suspended over the coming year.
However, we believe this doesn't go far enough. In our view, all 'careless' penalties should be suspended unless there is a genuine reason to think that the taxpayer is either unwilling or incapable or changing their behaviour.
If you would like any more information on this issue please get in touch with Mike Down or your usual RSM contact.
