How does your T. rex grow? Why young tyrannosaurs are confusing
PROFESSOR THOMAS CARR - Tyrannosaurus rex and its immediate relatives, the tyrannosauroids, are instantly recognisable with their gigantic bodies, large heads, huge teeth, short arms, and massive legs and tails.
For a long time the question of how those features developed during an individual's growth was unknown because juvenile specimens were not closely studied or they were misidentified as pygmy adults of unique species.
In fact, the differences between juvenile tyrannosauroids and their adult counterparts are so extreme that the growth changes in these dinosaurs are as remarkable as the evolutionary transformation that turned nonflying theropods into flying birds over millions of years.
It turns out that all of the best-known large tyrannosauroids (Bistahieversor, Albertosaurus, Gorgosaurus*, Daspletosaurus, Tarbosaurus*, and Tyrannosaurus) share the same basic growth pattern – a pattern so similar that it is difficult to tell the juveniles of the different genera and species apart!
It is only later in growth that the differences between species grow in, making them easier to identify. But, as seen in the photo of the juvenile and adult T. rex skulls (below, at the Museum of the Rockies), the differences between juvenile and adult can be seen quite plainly.
Obviously, the juvenile is small – in this case the juvenile skull is only 57 cm long – but it has a suite of features aside from size that make it look very different from the adult.
Notice the eye socket is large and round and the opening in front of the eye socket is long and low, whereas in the adult the eye socket has the form of a tall keyhole and the hole in front of that is round. In the live animal, a large air sac was lodged in the hole.
The snout in the juvenile is shallow, especially the region below the hole that is in front of the eye; this reflects the size of the teeth, which are numerous, short, and thin. The upper jaw of the adult is massive and deep, which is consistent with the fewer (at least in T. rex), but longer and more massive teeth.
Also, the skull of the juvenile is sleek, whereas the facial bones of the adult – especially around the eye socket – are massive and inflated like bony balloons.
As tyrannosauroids matured, their facial bones were inflated internally by air sacs. Also, the top of the snout in the juvenile skull is smooth, whereas that of the adult is coarse.
Finally, the adult has a large horn above and behind its eye socket, whereas that part of the juvenile is smooth and does not have a horn.
These extremes in appearance result from the combined influence of eating larger prey (deep jaws, massive teeth) and sexual maturity (rough snout, puffy face, horns).
The differences in the jaws and teeth indicate changes in eating habits that tracked the size of the animals, as seen in living crocodiles and monitor lizards. Small tyrannosauroids would have eaten small animals that would have been easy to take, whereas adults required greater strength to subdue large prey.
The plain face of juveniles contains less information for a fellow tyrannosauroid to receive than the ornate face of the adult.
At a glance, any tyrannosauroid could instantly tell the difference between juveniles and adults. In addition to that, the various ornaments on the skull are different in shape between species.
This sort of change can be seen in living birds such as chickens and hornbills, where the comb or crest, respectively, is small in juveniles but large and ornate in adults.
Therefore, the same information that tyrannosauroids used to tell each other apart can be used by palaeontologists – it is the closest humans can get to seeing through the dinosaurs' eyes!
- Dr Thomas Carr is an Associate Professor of Biology at Carthage College and the Director of the Carthage Institute of Palaeontology. He works on the growth and evolution of tyrannosauroids and he does his fieldwork in the Hell Creek Formation of southeastern Montana.

*I use these names in protest; given the choice, I would use Albertosaurus libratus and Tyrannosaurus bataar instead of Gorgosaurus and Tarbosaurus, respectively. I think that names should reflect the evolutionary relationships of species; for instance, A. libratus is the closest relative of A. sarcophagus, and T. bataar is the closest relative of T. rex. I see no reason to use different generic names because that removes useful evolutionary information and it implies a greater difference between the species than there really is.

Do you get an unbelievable sense of support from the fans here as well, as if they are family?
"Absolutely. It always amazes me just how much support we get and how much people care about us and the Saints, not just as players, but as people. There are more people that ask me how my kids are doing; 'How are the boys? How's Brittany after giving birth?' They care about you more than (asking) how many yards you are going to throw for this weekend or what I'm going to do for their fantasy team. The people in this community care about you and love the fact that you're living uptown in the middle of the city. They see you in Audubon Park and they see you buying a snowball standing in line. I think that's what's special and unique about this city in that they care about you as a person and not just as a football player."
With five running backs on the roster. We know you're used to the more the merrier mentality on offense. What's it like having those guys. Do you have intentions when you get on the field to incorporate all of them plus the wideouts?
"We love weapons and obviously we have some weapons at running back. It's a numbers game when you get to gameday. All of them can't be active. According to the game plan, injury situations and everything else, you have the guys that are playing, you know how you want to use them. The great thing we have at the running back position is that they're so versatile. Each one of them can are great at certain things, but they really can do so many things. You plug any of them in in a lot of different situations and you know what you're going to get out of them. You know you can count on them and I think they push one another as a competitive group. You add that with the receiver position, the tight end position and it's a pick your poison."
Scott Shanle has said that Joe Vitt is the "speech" guy. How is it going to be different on gameday with Aaron Kromer?
"We'll adjust, just like we did with Sean's (Payton) absence. Obviously we're used to having Sean address us at the beginning of each day, post-practice, everything else. That kind of changed hands to coach Vitt. Now that coach Vitt's gone, you take those things that coach Vitt had taken over in addition to the stuff that was coach Vitt stuff like the night before the game (speeches), pregame, that stuff and it's somebody else's opportunity, next man up to take that over. I think that's what's fun about it. You give guys opportunities to step up, fulfill that role. Can we replace Sean Payton? No. Can we replace coach Vitt? No. But we also know that we have the mentality here that it's next man up. All it is is an opportunity for somebody else to step up, fill a void and fill a role."
Aaron Kromer has that opportunity now. Have you seen any change or progression in his process and decision-making dating back from week three or four of the preseason?
"Yes, absolutely. Granted this is just the first game of the season and he has six games with us, but I think like anything, when you step into a role, you gradually gain more comfort in that role. Now, coach Kromer has the responsibility of addressing the team at that 8 a.m. team meeting before the day starts. To hear his voice at the beginning of the day. In his message, it's the same message, different voice, but it's him getting into the flow of doing that before practice, after practice and the things that come up during practice that he feels is a coaching point that needs to be addressed and it's a learning thing for us. (There might be) something where he feels he needs to impart wisdom on the guys, because of something he saw in practice. He's been a coach in this league a long time. He has a lot of experience. He knows our team. He knows our personnel. He knows the way we do things, yet each guy has a little different personality, so they lead within the personality. But we all respect coach Kromer a great deal. He's a fiery coach who can give it to us when we deserve it, but also point out the things that kind of cut through all the stuff to get to what's most important, which is one of the great things that Sean (Payton) has (done)."
How does Adrian Arrington look in practice?
"Yes. A lot of it in similar to (Darren) Sproles, a guy gets dinged in the preseason. It's not worth the risk, even when he's healthy of bringing him back for the third or fourth game, when you have the whole season that you're trying to prepare for. All those guys look good. (Robert) Meachem's departure left open an opportunity for guys like Adrian Arrington, Joe Morgan and others to kind of jump into the role and fill it a little bit. Still each guy has his own set of strengths, so within the gameplan, we work to those guys' strengths to try to put them in the position to succeed."
Do you think that Arrington's opportunity to play in the postseason last year gave him confidence?
"Definitely, what's interesting is that every opportunity Adrian has gotten, he just goes out there and looks like an old pro. I recall 2010, we brought him up from the practice squad for the last regular season game against Tampa Bay, I think he had around seven catches for seventy something (79) yards. Me throwing to him, from an outsider's perspective, people can wonder who I'm throwing to, how we can look on the same page. It's because he's been around. He's been one of the guys here for a long time. He's just never really received that opportunity. When he steps in there, he makes it look like it's old hat. He belongs there. I think his mentality is that he thinks he's a competitive guy. He's prideful. It shows in the way he plays. He's extremely smart and tough. He can play all the receiver positions and makes it look pretty easy."
Do you feel this is the most talented team you have been a part of?

Amazon Launches Android Appstore by Dan Bialek
This week Amazon launched its Android Appstore opening the app market to its millions of customers and adding some welcome innovations to the app purchase experience.
First off, the Amazon Appstore, http://amazon.com/appstore looks great. Mainly because its layout is based on Amazon's familiar ecommerce site. The front page displays the current "Free App Of The Day" with a host of featured apps below it. Featured app categories include: games, entertainment, utilities, social networking, productivity and music.
Once selected, individual app product pages load much like standard physical product pages on Amazon's main site. There are product photos, descriptions, user comments and a five-star rating system. There's a "Buy Now" box on the right side of the page that lets you know whether the app is compatible with your phone after you've made your first purchase or download.
Besides the easy-to-use interface, the app store also boasts special deals available only on the Amazon Appstore site. Rovio's popular "Angry Birds Rio" is currently available for free download only through Amazon. It retails for $.99 on other marketplaces. In addition, as mentioned above, the site will showcase one paid app a day offered for free download. The Appstore Android app gives users the option to sign up for automatic daily downloads of these featured apps. The free app on the day this article was written was "The Newsweek Mobile" app which normally retails for $1.99. Although it only had a one-star average user rating.
Probably the most exciting feature Amazon Appstore offers is a virtual "Test Drive" for apps. It uses a Flash emulator to simulate apps in shoppers' web browser so they can try them out and see how they function before making a purchase. There is a 30-minute time limit on test drive apps and not all apps featured on the store currently work with the service. However, the site just launched last week, so it's only a matter of time before they get the kinks worked out.
The Amazon Appstore is a very exciting innovation and it will be interesting to see what techniques and strategies Amazon implements in coming months to gain market share in the competitive world of retail app sales.

~Protecting Virginia's most vulnerable citizens~
Valentine Bloods leader sentenced to nine years in prison for soliciting murder, felony gang participation
RICHMOND (October 1, 2012) - Today, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli announced that the leader of the Valentine Bloods in Virginia was sentenced to nine years in prison when he entered an Alford plea to three counts of soliciting murder and three counts of felony gang participation while already in prison. Judge Leslie M. Osborn accepted the pleas today in Lunenburg County Circuit Court, and found Larog Anthony Trowell guilty of all six counts. An Alford plea is not an admission of guilt. Rather, it is an admission by the defendant that the commonwealth has enough evidence to convince a judge or jury to find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Pursuant to a written plea agreement, Judge Osborn sentenced Trowell to 60 years imprisonment with 51 years suspended, for an active penitentiary sentence of nine years in the Virginia Department of Corrections.
While an inmate at the Lunenburg Correctional Facility, Trowell continued controlling Valentine Blood members with several forms of communication. Utilizing gang codes and signals, Trowell ordered subordinates on the street to kill fellow gang members for acts he considered treason and insubordination. The acts were never carried out to fruition and no one was killed or hurt.
The Valentine Bloods is one of the original eight sects that make up the United Blood Nation, the largest criminal street gang on the East Coast. Formed in 1993 within the New York City jail system on Rikers Island, the Valentine Bloods have thousands of members across the country, and approximately 100 members in cities throughout Virginia, including Richmond and Petersburg. The Valentine Bloods gang is engaged in numerous criminal acts, including murder, narcotics trafficking, robbery, and firearms violations.
"This successful prosecution is the result of a continuing collaboration between the Virginia Department of Corrections, the Virginia State Police and the Office of the Attorney General," said Cuccinelli. "Today, we send a strong message that any effort to coordinate gang activity from a prison cell will result in an additional and lengthy prison term. Those who attempt to carry out orders of imprisoned gang members can look forward to a reunion behind bars."
"This case is a prime example of our Department's commitment to eradicating gang activity within the commonwealth," said Lt. Colonel H.C. Davis, Director of Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation. "The collaboration between State Police, Department of Corrections and the attorney general's office was paramount to the successful conclusion of this complex investigation."
This case was prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Phil Figura, a gang prosecutor assigned to Attorney General Cuccinelli's Special Prosecutions and Organized Crime Section.

Quin reveals Telecom home fibre timetable
Telecom won't offer home fibre plans until early next year.
"By early next year 5% of homes will have UFB-built fibre passing them – not delivered into the home, but passing – and that is about the time we'll have our broadband consumer services available," acting CEO Chris Quin says.
I'm speaking to Mr Quin on Wednesday afternoon, soon after the Pacific Fibre news broke (more of which shortly).
So the time a Telecom customer can actually order residential fibre will be some time early next year?
"That's right."
Orcon has already hit the home market with a $75 UFB fibre deal, as has Snap. CallPlus/Slingshot says it will follow in a few weeks – possibly with an unlimited data plan.
But Telecom is in no rush to follow.
Mr Quin explains.
NEW PERCH: Acting CEO Chris Quin has turned a mezzanine meeting room at Telecom's central Auckland headquarters into a temporary office over the past four weeks (new chief executive Simon Moutter starts September 1).
"Some are putting their first foot out but … The reality is it's a small number that have it available today. It'll grow to about 5% by the time we're ready and I think by the end of next year it's about 28% - so it does grow quite rapidly through 2013," Mr Quin says.
"You might have seen the Geekzone story [about a fibre install] that took nine hours and five technicians.
"We can't deliver a service like that because we're the mass market guys."
(And privately, the head of a retail ISP with more front-foot home fibre plans has fretted to NBR about the difficulties of connecting homes en masse, given difficulties with the handful of installs so far.)
A trial is under way in the North Shore, Auckland, suburb of Albany, involving several dozen homes.
Sports, cloud other extra services
Mr Quin also talks up value-added services – prudent given the move from copper to fibre means Telecom loses its home phone line business, once such a cash cow (all fibre connections come standard with a VoIP line, so you phone calls go over your broadband, not a separately rented line).
"We have a partnership with Sky. We are looking as part of our fibre services what other partnerships make sense.
"Not just content but cloud services at home and so on because just launching with another fibre service at a competitive price and gigabits and things isn't necessarily going to drive the take-up."
The thorny connection issue
And what of the thorny issue of connection costs? Orcon CEO Scott Bartlett and others have expressed concern to NBR that a free connection promotion from Chorus (responsible for close to 80% of the UFB by premise) expires at the end of this year.
From that point, customers could face a fee of $1000 to $2000 or more to connect fibre from the kerb to inside their house – the worst part being a retail ISP can't give an accurate quote until they start digging.
Mr Bartlett fears few will sign up if they face a fee of $120 an hour for an unknown number of hours to cover the fibre install.
He says the world among ISPs is that Chorus will shortly announce its connections will stay free permanently (Chorus says talks with Crown Fibre Holdings are still in train).
Mr Quin adds another complication.
"The original spec was 15m from the road and many Auckland homes have been developed on the rear of a section that has been cut in half – and it ain't 15m [from the kerb]. Chorus and Crown Fibre Holdings know this is an issue and the message they've given is they're working on this."
Let's hope they work through it.
It will certainly slow things up if Chorus makes connections free – but only up to the 15m from the kerb and 5m into a home goal stipulated by its UFB contract with Crown Fibre Holdings (and those aren't as-the-crow-flies metres but include ducking and diving around obstacles and walls, etc).
The companies handling the balance of the roll-out – Enable (Christchurch), Northpower (Whangarei) and Ultrafast Fibre (including Hamilton, Tauranga and Whanganui) have 30m lead-in and 10m on-premise requirements in their contracts; Ultrafast has pledged free installs regardless of distance.
Mr Quin says he agrees with ICT Minister Amy Adams that residential uptake was always going to be slow at first.
"The highest obvious value right now comes out of corporate, it comes out of health, it comes out of education and they're the places that we're focused on.
"The Network for Learning – we're absolutely bidding hard for that and that's where the government will get return fastest."
Busiiness fibre push
On the business side of things, Mr Quin – who usually heads Telecom's Gen-i division – says there are around 4000 customers on fibre.
Around 65% of Geni's customers have fibre reaching their premise, and around 15% are using it for data services.
Mr Quin says the UFB roll-out will help, but also that there is no waiting around in this market. The push is on now.
Naturally, Gen-i is angling not just to project manage the fibre being plugged in, associated upgrades in office network infrastructure and development of apps and service to suit the new high bandwidth environment.
Unlike the home situation, he doesn't see connection complications. Service ducting will provide an easy route into most buildings, and UFB-subsidised fibre will help keep costs down.
Video? NBR is dubious
He sees three killer apps for business: video, mobility and collaboration.
"Video will become in the next three years more like the primary form of communication in business. So many devices have a free video client now.
"We've got Skype, Apple Facetime, Cisco Telepresence being delivered on iPads with a simple client through to high definition video in a full Telepresence room. So I reckon video will become a primary form of communication pretty quickly."
Is that really the New Zealand personality? Wouldn't most people prefer a voice call most of the time? Personally, I don't always want my boss or (much as I love them) my parents having a visual fix on me during most calls.
"Yes … but I think ease of use will make a massive difference," Mr Quin replies.
"You know we're watching behaviours in Christchurch. We were in four buildings around the square and people used to walk.
"We're now in nine buildings around the edge of the city, people are videoing because they don't want to lose that face-to-face.
"Christchurch is still difficult to drive around. They think 30 minutes is a long trip, we [Aucklanders] think it's going to work … so, video will drive a lot of fibre uptake."
Secondly, video will become a primary form of marketing, Mr Quin says.
"A lot of website marketing you see now goes quickly to video, the static image on a website is going to be replaced by video and that is vitally important all around the world."
What about the home front. On Trade Me, too?
"I'll be able to walk you around my immaculate 1992 Toyota Corolla, one lady owner."
Fibre backbone for mobile, wi-fi
By mobility, Mr Quin means an office like Telecom's new headquarters with saturation wireless.
"You've got to get off the radio [cell network] as fast as you can and onto wi-fi."
That requires good office infrastructure, backed by a fast connection to the outside world.
In terms of collaboration, he means staff in different offices working as if they're in the same place.
He also sees potential for everyone from thinly spread specialists to personal bankers using videoconferencing to save time and effort.
Fibre just makes life easier, says Mr Quin.
"A couple of our bigger customers are 100% fibre. They're more agile. They're never not able to roll out an app. If the CEO wants to send a video message to all staff, he can send it."
On Pacific Fibre
Start-up Pacific Fibre announced it was ceasing operations just 60 minutes before I spoke to Quin.
I asked him for an immediate Telecom reaction.
"We don't think capacity is an issue with Southern Cross. The capacity reach is there and will continue to be there," says Quin, who was scanning (often Southern Cross-hostile) reader comments on NBR coverage as your correspondent arrived.
"They compete in an international market and prices are falling in that market.
"I would assume the investors in that alternative knew all that and decided to have a look anyway.
"We're a [50%] shareholder, that's well known but we're also a customer of Southern Cross so obviously we behave like everyone else which is we want more capacity and we want it cheaper over time.
"Those two principles haven't changed. Prices are falling."
Read more contrary reaction from CallPlus, Orcon and Snap's CEOs here.
Comments and questions12
Hamilton Central. Fibre outside our house since October 2011. Technically available now. But our cabinet won't be upgraded until 2016. What a load of bollocks.
That would be Chorus issue rather than a Telecom one these days.
And while I can understand your frustration - it would make me really mad to wait unit four years while I saw others getting fibre - the government has always said many homes won't be able to connect until five or six years into the 10-year rollout.
"That would be Chorus issue rather than a Telecom one these days."...
In Hamilton the UFB funded LFC is Ultra Fast Fibre (WEL); not Chorus. I'd be frustrated as well, and would be interested to know what the hold-up actually is.... ?
Chris refers to a 'partnership with Sky'
What partnership do Telecom have with Sky - I am not aware of any bundled deals or access to iSky without it coming off your data allowance etc.
Telecom is correct to delay entry into UFB retail services until next year. The early adopters are going to get burned. More so if there is any change to the CFH models by end of year (when more people realize it is a license to lose money). 45 man-hours on an install is horrendous.
People will get fibre but they'll all be bitching about it being too slow within 24 months, then what?
I still think the whole fibre thing is a farce and most probably a distraction from the real issue (NZ's appalling lvel of investment in anything other than politics and rugby)
I wopnt be rushing to get fibre any time soon. Cant see the point as DSL is plenty fast enough
Wow Putt you and Anon above shld get together and have a 'UFB is for loosers party: DSL is plenty fast enough'. Stream it live on your shitty DSL connection and we'll enjoy laughing at the raging gathering of five greying, porky libertarians
Chorus and Enable et al need to be engaging with the building industry to make sure that all new houses etc are provisioned with suitable ducting from the street to an internal demarcation point. We have a number of clients in the house building / architect sectors and in talking to them there is still no understanding of the need and the requirements around providing ufb. This also applies to commercial buildings.
"We don't think capacity is an issue with Southern Cross."
Which means he misses the blasted point - the reason why 'Pacific Fibre' was seen as the white knight is because of the horrific prices NZ customers pay due to the horrid backbone and horrific international link prices being charged to ISP's due to Southern Cross's monopoly on overseas traffic. UFB is a waste of time until the cost of traffic drops to the point that you can get 500GB allowance on a fibre connection for $70 per month - when that is reached THEN you'll see a massive uptake but until that happens the uptake of fibre will be slow at best. I really swear that some of the people at telecom on $300,000 salaries don't have the slightest clue on what the average person can and can't afford.
Proofing please..
1)"Quin says he agrees with ICT Minister Amy Adams that residential update was always going to be slow at first."
update -> uptake
2)"Unlike the home situation, he doesn't see connection complications. Service ducting will provide an easy route into most buildings, and UFB-subsidised fibre will help keep costs relatively most."
'relatively most' !? 'relatively reasonable' perhaps. I'd take 'moist' too.
3)"Is that really the NZ personality? Wouldn't most people prefer a voice call most of the time? Personally, I don't always want my boss or (much as I love them) my parents have visual fix on me during most calls."
have -> having a
Side note: Our organisation is Australasian; we Skype video'd at first; now predominantly voice, so spot on mate. Mind you perhaps that down to how shizballs the feed is. Having administered some higher end systems (mostly Polycom) for NZ-US communications the experience can be so much better than olde Skype.
4) " "You've got to get of the radio [cell network] as fast as you can and onto wi-fi.""
of -> off
Fact ambiguity:
"It will certainly slow things up if Chorus makes connections free – but only up to the 15m from the kerb and 5m into a home goal stipulated by its UFB contract with Crown Fibre Holdings"
My understanding was that the 15/5 spec (unique to Chorus out of all the UFB provisioners; whom are providing 30/10. Expertly explained here http://nztelco.com/?p=531) was already supposed to be 'free' i.e standard install fee waived with 12/24 month contract

Guestbook comments from the owner
Thank you so much for allowing us to rent your condo this week. It was so nice with a four year old and me expecting to be on a bottom floor and so close to the pool. We loved the fact that we didn't have to rent an umbrella and chairs since it was provided. We will be setting up a vacation with you next summer!

can i cancel my check in…i had used the self check in services via internet right after i bought my ticket… but now i need to reschedule my flight date… can i do that?
yes you can..reach the customer support
Dear Mr. Luetold, your complains are clearly the result of your limited knowledge's to handle your computer. I never have had any problem. Maybe you have to go train yourself with a better understanding in computers.
Regards, Thomas
Booking nearly impossible
Yesterday I was booking a flight for my friends, because they don't have a credit card.
The server of Air Asia was so overflowing, that I had to retipe the datas 3-4 times!
Every time I go back to the previous page, I lost my entered data. It was the reason
why your system give me a wrong flight time (the program took the first field of every
flight). (P.s. My cookies are activated!). At least I was so nerved by these system errors
that I couldn't/didn't control the entered data properly!
Today I tried to correct the times at the Chiang Mai Airport. The staff there told me I have
to pay about 4500 Baht (!!!), if I would do it online by myself, I have to pay "ONLY" about
2500 Baht. Do you understand this as a customer service?! On every other airline like
Air Berlin, Emirates, Thai Airways, Swiss a trivial change like this is absolutely free!
Another problem is, that you make automatic place reservation (costs money, of course)
and you book an insurance; the customer has to find out, how he can cancel this flight
options. Older people have so no chance to book a cheap flight online. This seems to me
a criminal act and I can't accept such an expensive procedure.
I ask you to change my flight times – FREE (like a serious company), because it is not my
fault, that your server was not available or overflowing!
I wait for a fast answer from you and I hope we will find a fair solution.
René Luetold, Chiang Mai

Photos from Fauxchella featuring: Ports of Spain, Mister, Sarcasmo & Parallels. I kinda forgot to take more pics with my "good" camera. All the bands/performers were great tho! Good times!
B-Side photo from the My Home Recordings collection - This one has too much screen showing - Was thinking of cropping it to a widescreen ratio but, decided to focus on similar photos which featured more vibrant color tones.
The very first song I recorded on using a multitrack. (with help of course from my old friend Garth)
Hard to believe this "pull-tab" must've been hanging around since the '70s - Pretty cool to think it stayed well preserved despite the elements!
Abstract from the My Home Recordings "B-Sides" - (Would've made the grade if I had gotten the framing correct. Dag-nabbit!)

Details of the massacre of 16 Afghans by a U.S. soldier last spring are emerging in a courtroom near Tacoma, Wash., where survivors of that attack traveled to confront Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales. A six-member military jury is hearing testimony at a sentencing hearing for Bales.
At least seven people made the trip from Afghanistan to Washington state to speak at the hearing at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, where Bales' Army unit is based.
The AP describes the night in question:
"Bales, on his fourth combat deployment, had been drinking and watching a movie with other soldiers at his remote post at Camp Belambay in Kandahar Province when he slipped away before dawn on March 11, 2012. Bales said he had also been taking steroids and snorting Valium.
"Armed with a 9 mm pistol and an M-4 rifle, he attacked a village of mud-walled compounds called Alkozai then returned and woke up a fellow soldier to tell him about it. The soldier didn't believe Bales and went back to sleep. Bales left again to attack a second village known as Najiban."
In order to avoid the possibility of capital punishment, Bales pleaded guilty to the charges this summer — a development that outraged many in Afghanistan, where victims and their family members had called for Bales to be put to death.
The AP reports that one of the Afghans who testified against him was Haji Mohammad Naim, who took the stand wearing a turban and traditional Afghan dress.
"This bastard stood right in front of me!" he said through an interpreter. "I wanted to ask him, 'What did I do? What have I done to you?' … and he shot me!"
Naim ended his testimony by breaking down and asking the prosecutor not to ask him any more questions.
The Los Angeles Times reports that another Afghan witness was Samiullua, who described the effects of the rampage on his teenage son. The Times reports:
"'He wakes up at night with nightmares,' he said. 'He thinks the Americans are chasing him.' And his daughter — a bright girl, he said — had been shot in the head, left with severe brain injuries. 'She's no longer the same person. Her life is not the same.'"

The big picture - Cover Story
March 2012 Issue
It's a Thursday morning in early December, and Christopher Whalen is on the phone. The halls outside his office in UGA's Coverdell Center are quiet—final exams are under way, and students are scarce. An academic gown hangs on the door of his office, a reminder of next week's commencement ceremony. But at the moment, Whalen is not preparing to celebrate the academic successes of UGA students. Instead he's delivering news to Moses Joloba, a microbiologist colleague based at Makerere University in Uganda. There's good news and bad news. The good news is that the grant proposal they submitted to the National Institutes of Health placed in the 10th percentile. The bad news is that despite the high rating, they're not getting funded. Last year the top 10 percent automatically received funding, but budget cuts mean that this year only the top 8 percent will be funded. The project in question is one that evolved from Whalen's line of research for the …

Baby!Canada X Reader: I'll Take Care of You CH 2You opened the front door quietly with your foot, realizing that you had failed to lock it after you ran out of the house. Still holding a sleeping Matthew in your arms, you stepped into darkness and tried to shut the door behind you as slowly and quietly as possible, though you winced when it closed with a rather loud bang. You held your breath, squinting in the dark to make out Matthew, checking for any signs of the noise disturbing him. All he did was shift slightly in place as he continued sleeping, making you relieved that he wasn't startled.As soon as you walked into your living room, you held him in one arm while your other hand searched for a light source. Once you finally located a light switch, you flicked it on, instantly filling the room with brightness.You looked around the room briefly before shaking your head in disapproval. There were papers scattered all over the place, and several cups of half-empty coffee were crowded on the coffee table. This was definitely not a
Baby!Canada X Reader: I'll Take Care of You CH 6The next morning, you made sure to get up extra early so that you wouldn't have been late for the meeting. The last thing you wanted was to show up late because you overslept. You made sure to go to bed extra early the previous night as well as Matthew, so the both of you would've gotten enough sleep to prevent yourselves from being tired in the middle of the meeting.It was five in the morning when the loud ringing of your alarm clock filled the room, and you sighed in exasperation before you lazily lifted a hand to shut it off. If you were to put it on snooze, you would've fallen back asleep again, and you had to be out of bed as soon as possible.You covered your mouth with your hand and let out a yawn before you sat up in bed and rubbed sleep from your eyes. You were able to feel the bed sheets move as Matthew stirred beside you."Ma

Baby!Canada X Reader: I'll Take Care of You CH 4You woke up one morning a few days later to the soft feeling of something gently patting your shoulder. "Mama
" the voice said quietly as your shoulder continued to be nudged.You groaned before you covered your eyes with your hand and let out a yawn. As you removed your hand and squinted against the sunlight that quickly filled your eyes, you spotted Matthew staring down at you in concern.You smiled despite the numb feeling in your face. "Good morning, Mattie," you said before you grasped his shoulder and pulled him toward you so that you were able to kiss his forehead."Good morning, Mama," he said softly before he gently kissed your forehead in return, causing your heart to melt for the hundredth time in less than a week.Matthew pulled away from you just enough so that he was able to look at you properly. "Mama
I'm hungry."At that, your face brightened. The fact that he was hungry was a good thing. It meant that he had regained his appetite, which meant that it was like
Baby!Canada X Reader: I'll Take Care of You CH 8You had a big grin plastered to your face as you walked down the incredibly long hallway of the building where the meeting was going to be held. For the first time in a long time, you actually felt happy about going to a meeting considering the fact that you now had to carry two loads instead of one. Matthew offered to carry Mr. Kumajiro even though you told him that the bear was heavy and he would've easily gotten exhausted. Despite the fact that he had a lot to carry, he made the whole distance to the building without complaining.It was rare that you got excited for meetings, but this time, it was different. This time, you made sure to arrive late, when all the countries would've been in the meeting room waiting for you. Well, what you were going to show them was going to be worth the wait, especially to England, who you were going to prove wrong for the second time in a row. Oh, this was going to be fun.You and Matthew paused at the door to the meeting room, and you shushed him be
Baby!Canada X Reader: I'll Take Care of You CH 7Your eyes widened in shock and you jumped up in surprise, gasping when you rolled over and fell off the bed and onto the floor face-down. You let out a moan as pain spread through your jaw, and you slowly closed your eyes. A few seconds of silence passed before you opened your eyes and let out a grunt as you sat up into a sitting position through trembling arms.Slowly, you crawled over to the bed and placed your hand on the edge, slowly lifting yourself just enough so that you were able to see the creature sitting on your bed, still casually washing its fur despite the occurrence of you suddenly falling off the bed.You felt your heart beat loudly in your chest as you continued to stare at what was sitting on your bed. You breathing was quick and ragged, and you dared not to make a sound for fear that the thing would've sprang out at you and scratched you in one swift blow.The first thought you had in your mind at the sight of a living polar bear sitting on your bed was to beat it wi
Baby!Canada X Reader: I'll Take Care of You CH 13A few months had passed since the meeting where you and Matthew met America, and you started coming up with various ways to try and get Matthew's mind off of becoming a country. You took him to various exotic places in your country, took him on many short vacations whenever you had the chance, and always tried to keep him occupied with something other than thinking about how it was "mandatory" for him to represent a country when it was more or less clear to you that that wasn't what he would've wanted.One morning, just a few days before the next meeting, you lay in your bed, your eyes exhausted with sleep. For some reason you weren't able to figure out, throughout the past few months, you started doing less work and began sleeping more. It seemed like you were getting at least seven hours of sleep a night, when before, it had been hard for you to sleep for more than four.You covered your mouth with your hand and yawned, sitting up in bed before you rubbed sleep from your closed eyes.
Baby!Canada X Reader: I'll Take Care of You CH 5The next morning, you prepared Matthew his breakfastonce again pancakes with maple syrup, just like he askedand dressed him in another pair of white ruffled clothing from your childhood before you told him that the both of you were going outside to get him some new clothes.You held Matthew in your arms as you made your way out the door, instantly feeling the fresh, cool wind beat against your face and flow through your hair. You turned around and shut the door behind you before securely locking it. When you looked down at Matthew, you noticed that his eyes were sparkling in excitement."Are you excited to go into town, Mattie?" you asked him sweetly.He nodded before he buried his face in your shirt. "Yes, Mama."Thankfully, you knew where the nearest children's clothing store was, and that was only a few blocks down from your home. Matthew was still a baby, but he already knew how to walk, so you didn't have to carry him for most of the trip to the shop. However, when the
Baby!Canada X Reader: I'll Take Care of You CH 12Ever since you told Matthew he was a country, you had noticed some significant changes happen to him. It wasn't physical, but mental, as you had decided. He began spending much more time locked away in his room, usually with Mr. Kumajiro, who still, unfortunately, couldn't remember who he was. You hoped that this was just a phase that would've passed once Matthew got used to the fact that he was a country. But when the next meeting occurred almost a month after you told him the truth, you saw that he still hadn't changed.Your head was spinning with thoughts when the both of you traveled to the meeting. You missed the way Matthew used to act before he was a countryshy, but sweet, happy, and obedient. Now, he was isolated, much quieter than he was before, but grumpy whenever you tried talking to him, and you even began to think he was starting to become a bit depressed. And because you believed it was only fair, you took the blame out on England. You were going to have a talk with
Baby!Canada X Reader: I'll Take Care of You CH 11By the time the both of you arrived home from the meeting, it was already late. Since both you and Matthew were exhausted, you decided to tell him everything the following day.That night, you lied in your bed, wide awake, staring up at the ceiling with several thoughts running through your mind. How on earth were you going to explain to Matthew that he was a country without him becoming scared, frightened, worried, or some other emotion you didn't want him to feel? What if he felt that being a country meant he had to go off on his own, start his own life, live independently like a real country? That was the very last thing you wanted him to do. Just because Matthew was a country didn't mean he had to go off and live on his own, right
?The next morning, closer to noon, you walked down the hall and paused in front of the door to Matthew's room. He had told you before that he was going to feed Mr. Kumajiro, so that was what you figured he was doing.You fidgeted in place, fiddling

Maman!""What is it, Francis?" you asked as you set down your cookie dough-filled mixing bowl and bending down to your youngest son's* eye level.*(A.N.: Since Canada's older than everyone else in this story, I'd assume that would actually make France the youngest in this particular reader insert.)"A-Al-f-f-fie and

" Francis sniffed. The poor child's deep-blue eyes that resembled his father's were iridescently shiny due to the streams of tears that flooded down his reddened cheeks."There, there, Francis," you cooed giving your son a hug. "I'll have a talk with them and tell them to be nice to you, okay?"Francis sniffed again. "Okay, Maman..."You carried Francis over to find your other sons, Alfred and Arthur. Being the oldest, Alfred would pick on his two younger brothers, and Arthur would pick on Francis: a cruel brothers' hierarchy
One For The Books - CanadaXReaderToday had to be one for the books. With a giant mess on the floor and a Canadian sprawled out with it, (Name) couldn't help but to bust out laughing at her lovers misfortune, but we're way ahead of our selfs. Allow me to start from the beginning.Today is (Insert random date), (Name) and Matthews two year anniversary, and this year, Matthew wanted it to be just right. He really appreciated (Name) staying with him and his bear, Kumajiro.....or was it Kumajirou? He could never remember. Anyways back to his story. In the beginning, it seemed perfect.Matthew groggily open his eyes to the bright sun. He reached over for his glasses and put them on. He looked over to (Name)'s pillow and noticed a note. It read,"Happy Anniversary, Mon Cher!I'm sorry I couldn't be here for when you woke up, my job called me in. I'll be back at five. Enjoy your meal and I can't wait for tonight! Bonne journee et faire attention. Je t'aime.Xoxoxo,(Name)"Smiling at the note and looking over at the fl
Canada x Reader: Oh Matthew [Birthday fic!]Locking the front door to your house, you stared at the indigo sky before excitedly walking off to Matthew's place.Today was the first of July also known as Canada Day as well as Matthew Williams' birthday. Although, not many were aware about the latter one. You made sure that, as Matthew's girlfriend, he would enjoy celebrating his birthday with his friends.During the day, you had planned many events in order to celebrate the occasion and you had decided that during the night you would have a romantic date.Still walking, you nervously held the present you were going to give, despite his protests earlier this week. Though the present wasn't much, since, you were so busy planning his birthday that you nearly forgot about getting him a present.Finally in front of the Canadian's home, a modern suburban house painted white with a burgundy colored rooftop, you gently knocked on the door. Not even bothering to ask who was there, the door opened to reveal Matthew in a black suit."Ah
Papa!RomanoxChild!Reader Part 6You glanced around the large conference room to examine the countries surrounding you. Some were rather intimidating, while others seemed kind and relaxed. Only a few eyes wandered towards your direction when the door creaked open, but either didn't notice you in your papa's arms or simply didn't care, and went back to whatever they were doing. Romano took his spot next to Spain and Veneziano took his place next to Romano near the head of the table."Hola, chica!" Spain cooed as he ruffled your hair."Ciao, Uncle Spain..." You murmured, still rather nervous."Aw, don't be afraid, ______! They won't hurt you! Well, most of them..." He muttered the last part. It escaped your hearing, but not Romano's, who then smack Spain upside the head."Ow! Be nice in front of the chica, Romano!" Spain teased."Kesese~ Who's the little frau?" A thickly accented German voice said from behind. Four heads snapped around to face a cocky, red-eyed Prussian."Oh, great, one of the freaking potato-eaters..."

They all fell asleep," Matthew chuckled."I wonder if they heard that last bit about Mr. Kumajirou," you giggled.You and your husband got off of Francis' bed and left all three boys in the room. Matthew followed you into the kitchen where two plates of cookies were still set outside. You took one plate of cookies and put them outside while Matthew took the other one and a glass of milk and set it beside the fireplace where the fire had died out."That's good. The fire's out," you said meeting up with Matthew and snuggling next to him on the sofa. "We don't want 'Santa' burning his bottom now, do we?""No, we don't," Matthew chuckled.While you watched the last of the embers hiss and flicker out, you heard a soft chime of your clock signaling the sound of midnight."Merry Christmas, Matt," you whispered pulling out a bear-shaped maple-nut cookie that you were saving especially for y
Papa!ItalyxChild!Reader Part 6Instead of spending the night at Italy's, Germany decided to head home (plus, Romano would freak out if he found out Germany slept in his bed). The white-haired Prussian was on the couch reading a magazine, but hastily stuffed it under the couch when his younger brother entered."Oh! Hey, Vest! I zhought you vould sleep at Italy's tonight!""Nein, I decided to go home." The blonde plopped next to his brother on the couch, causing a small moment of awkward silence."So, er, did you have fun?" Prussia cut through the tension in the air."Ja, but
""But vat?""Can I ask you something?""Oh mein gott! Mein little brother is asking me for advice! I knew you still looked up to me, Vest!" Prussia glomped his younger brother."Get ze hell off of me!" Germany yelled and Prussia obeyed, "Ugh, I don't even know vhy I was going to you for judgment
" Germany stood up and was about to walk away before his brother grabbed his wrist."No, vait! Seriously, I'll behave! It's just zat you haven
Papa!ItalyxChild!Reader Part 8You sat in one of the Allies larger tents, crying. Your five captors sat around you, arguing with each other about what to do with you, along with France and England choking each other. Eventually, China squatted down to your level and looked into your sobbing, eyes."Hello, aru." He said, "My name is China-""I know, I heard you talk to each other. That's America, England, France, and Russia, right?" You asked, pointing out each country as you named them."T-that's right, aru. You really are smart for a little one, aren't you?" He smiled at you and ran his fingers through your hair, much like your father would when he was trying to lull you to sleep.'Daddy
' The image of your father laying motionless on the ground made tears perk in the corners of your eyes. This didn't go unnoticed by China however."Aiyah! Wh-what did I do!?" He panicked. Now all heads were turned to you."I-I want my daddy!" You were bawling again at this point."Damn it, China! I though you said you
Papa!ItalyxChild!Reader Part 4You lay fast asleep in your uncle Romano's arms, cuddling with him and burying your face into his tan military uniform that he always seemed to wear. Veneziano was spending the night over Germany's house along with Japan for some unknown reason. Well, unknown to you anyways. So were spending the night alone with Romano."Hey, Romano! We came to keep you and _____ company!" A familiar Spanish accent called from the now open front door, waking you from your unconscious state."Damn it, why the hell did I give that idiota the key?" Romano grumbled to himself before shouting, "Wait, what'a the hell do you mean 'we'!?"You tugged Romano's shirt to gain his attention, and his harsh glare noticeably softened as he looked into your big, (e/c) eyes, "Uncle Roma, why is Spain here?"It's not that you didn't like Spain, you really did, he always gave you all of his attention and loved you unconditionally. It was just that, well, he just woke you up, and you weren't very happy about it. Spa
Papa!ItalyxChild!Reader Part 5The next morning was interesting to say the least. You woke up to Romano screaming at his younger brother about something in Italian. You could pick up a few words here and there, but it was mostly swears you'd learned from your uncle."Idiota! I-a told you not to sleep in my bed anymore! You have-a your own goddamn room!" The elder twin shouted and started head butting his brother."I'm sorry! I just came to see if you were asleep and I saw you cuddling _____, and it was so cute so I wanted to sleep with-a you guys too!" Veneziano flailed his arms, as if it would make Romano stop.Apparently it did! Both of the Italian brothers froze, and let out a few grunts. You stood up on the bed to get a better view of what was going on, only to see that they'd gotten their curls tangled together."Y-you damn bastardo, now look at-a what you did!""Ve!? What did I do!?""Do you need help?" You asked. To be honest, you've always wanted to touch their curls, but they'd both strictly forbid and said
Baby!Canada X Reader: I'll Take Care of You CH 3You woke up the next morning to the feeling of something burning against your shoulder. You gasped as you quickly sat upright, rubbing your shoulder with one hand to cool it down. You looked around, trying to make sense of what happened to your room. There were shoeboxes, bags, and several other things scattered on the floor next to your open closet door.You sighed before you rubbed sleep from your eyes with one hand. That was actually the first time in months you got over three hours of sleep, and you wanted nothing more than to curl up under the covers and fall asleep again.However, what confused you the most was the presence of someone else in your bed. Slowly, you turned your head to the side and almost gasped when you saw Matthew sleeping next to you. As if it came in a giant wave, all of the memories of yesterday entered your head. You smiled as you continued watching him sleep, thinking about how adorable he looked. However, you felt a small twinge of concern grow inside you w

Where is Pete? Will the crazy guy get caught? And someone said love!
Patrick's POV
Emily was staring at me wide eyed and clutching onto my hand.
"please" I begged the group staring at me just as shocked as em was. " all I have to do is just catch the guy, I'll have the text written and have my hands in my jacket pocket and just hit and when he comes out" I said
"no, Patrick that's crazy. That guy is lurking around him some where and your the main one on his fucking list buddy. It's like walking into a death trap!" now shouted throwing his hands in the air.
Everyone was quiet for a moment and joe and Andy looked at brendon. Brendon didn't realize why at first, but I saw his face as it dawned on him.
"hell no! I've already had my encounter with that guy once. So I've been warned. Next time hell probably kill me! By the way, thanks for throwing me under the bus you guys!" brendOn yelled and rolled his eyes.
"he's right. Let me just go, I'll bring a knife. It's the only way to end this." I said firmly.
"no" Emily said letting go of my hand and crossing her arms. I turned to her and cupped her face in my hands.
"I want this to end. I just want to be with you for once. Nothing bad will happen. I promise." i said leaning forward and softly kisseding her forehead.
"fine" She said reluctantly. With that I went over to her kitchen drawers and rummaged through them until infound a kitchen knife that I stuck in one of my dark blue jacket pockets. I then took my phone out and entered a text.
"I will send this text if I'm in trouble or I got the guy, I'll walk about a block or so straight down this street. As soon as I send it brendon you stay here with emily and call the cops. Andy and joe, you take the body guards and come after me. The text will be sent to Andy's phone, so as soon as you get it do what I told you. If anything happens, I love you guys. I whispered to one of the guards to call the others in, and I herd Emily start to cry. He guys looked to me with sad faces. "Emily, it will be okay, I promise. Andy went over to her and sat down beside her and hugged her to try to comfort her. He was always the kind of person who would be there for you when you were down. I smiled at the thought of all the times he had done that for me and Pete. I saw the rest of the guards come in and I walked out.
"becareful out there sir." my body guard said. I nodded and walked out.
I began walking slowly up the street with my hands in my jacket pockets my right hand on the knife and the left on the send button on my phone. I was nervous. I knew he was out here, somewhere watching me. My hands fidgeted with the smooth handle of the kitchen knife. My hands began to sweat and my heart and head began to race. What had I gotten myself into? I can't think about this, I just have to do it, I want everything to be safe again and I want my best friend back. I looked behind me and saw I almost made it a block and a half. Maybe I should turn around and- my thought was cut off by hands grabbing hold of me from the back and a cold object to my neck. As if almost on instinct I pressed send before my arms were pinned to me.
"stay quiet lover boy." the deep voice behind me commanded. "you need to stay away from Emily, because I won't tell you twice pretty boy." he said coldly. I had to stall him some how until the guys arrived.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked.
"I thought I td you to fucking stay quiet! Do you want to live?!" he said pressing his knife to my throat harder. I herd the guys coming and so did he, his guard was down so I took the hand with the knife out of my pocket and drove it into his upper leg as hard as I could. I felt a sharp pain in my arm as the man in black fell. The guys ran up to us and joe stepped on the mans hand with the knife and kicked it away from him and the body guards finally arived. They got on him and zip tied his hands together. He began to struggle and 3 poliece cars pulled up and immediately once again tackling man to the ground and taking off his ski mask. I had never seen this man before. He had dark brown hair and looked to be in his late 40s he had dark green eyes and was very tan.
"youve never met his man before? He doesn't look to be a fan" an officer said to me.
" no I've never met this guy before. And he doesn't fit the criteria of a fan" I laughed.
"are you alright sir? Your arms bleeding." the officer said. I looked down to see a long gash down the side of my arm. He blood was flowing down my fingers dripping onto the ground, I hadn't even noticed.
"yeah I'm ok, it doesn't look too bad, must of happened in the scuffle.
"are you sure your okay sir? Do you need medical attention?"
"no, no, I'm fine"i insisted to the officer.
"he's okay... Yeah he caught the guy! Here he is." Andy said handing me his Phone.
"hey." I said
"so your alright? Emily said
"yeah, I isn't have this scratch on my arm, it's not bad." I said reassuringly.
"hey trick! Don't get your gross hand blood on my phone!" Andy yelled to me. I ignored him.
"em, they may want you and brendon down here for some questions we're only a block and a half away." I said
"Okay, we'll be right down." she said. " and hey Patrick?"
"yeah" I said
"I love you" she said. He words echoed in my mind but immediately brought an Awnser.
"I love you too Emily" I said and hung up the phone. So she loved me. And I loved her. Considering all that had happened tonight I felt happy.
hey guys! So how are you feeling things so far? If you hate it let me know. If you love it, do the same. I've been thinking about not writing anymore so please help my spirit! As always thank you guys so much for reading! It means a lot! :)

Through music The Refugee All Stars have found a place of refuge, a sense of purpose and a source of power. Admission is $20.

Good toy, durable
posted 6 years ago
My pup loves to play fetch so when I saw this toy I had to have it. She loves this toy because it fits in her mouth, the smaller version, and she hits the squeeker just right. This is more durable than most plush toys and thats great because she can go through the plush toys quickly.
Pros: simple plush bone, durable, entertaining
Cons: none

Best Kimchi ever tasted
Posted by Kimchi lover on 4th Nov 2013
I tried Kimchi from wise choice markets and it is the best, it has increased by apetite for other vegetables as well.
Best ever
Posted by E Jelks on 8th Feb 2013
I've been trying to incorporate more fermented foods in my diet. I tried making my own kimchi and it was a failure. This one is wonderful. I try and keep extra in the freezer as to not run out. Well worth the cost.

In the early 1970's my parents, Bill and Liz McHolland created a recreational program for special needs children in the Pittsburgh area. This group was dedicated to giving mentally challenged children in our area a physical and recreational outlet that was unique at the time. They were inspired to do so by the special needs of their own daughter, my sister, Peggy. It is their efforts and success that inspired me to take on this challenge and to benefit such a deserving group as Special Olympics. To sponsor my trek, click the Donate Now link. Thanks for your support!
Because of a potentially serious medical concern I've been forced to cancel the remainder of my hike. While the suddenness of the condition came as a great surprise and my "doctor's orders" to cancel the hike are deeply saddening I do come away with so many wonderful and heartwarming memories. In my month (and 400 miles) on the road I met so many kind, generous and interesting people. So many in fact that it would be impossible for me to name them all. That said, I'm forever indebted to four remarkable souls who have left an indelible mark on me...John and Kait Seyal and their rescue dogs Max and Grace. I caught up with the four of them after several days alone on the trail as they also made their way across the country. I will cherish, and long remember, the time and miles the five of us spent together. So much can be said of the good work they do as they visit schools and hospitals spreading their unique brand of unconditional love and good will. Their continuing story can be found at
Lastly, I'd like to thank everyone who helped make the hike possible, to those who so generously donated to Special Olympics and for the outpouring of concern for my health and well being.

I'm just speculating here but, if they gave the anime a new opening I think it's because its going to be longer than 12 episodes, maybe not right away but I think it'll have a second season. That's my opinion.

there should be a second season. they ended it at this episode because the manga ended here. They wouldn't pay Nano to sing a new song for a single episode the new OP song will probably be the second season of Btooom's OP. <— Just a theory
- Rail said:
Why change the OP of the anime on episode 12… hmmm this must be one reason! Another Season! Yeah!
- Rokkx said:
Yeah! We get the 2nd season <3
besides nice epi
- hmmmmm said:
There without a doubt will be a second season. This anime got some very well deserved ratings. The manga itself is relatively new as well. I'd say we will get a few months for a break and it will give them time to expand the manga volumes further away from the anime. They did justice on this anime actually following the manga for once.

@Rail Maybe but maybe not, look panty and stocking ^^

لااا انشالله فيه موسمم ثاني < داخله عرضض هعع
- Shiro Yui said:
There will be a second season once the manga finishes completely that or they are looking for people to voice for the other characters.
- SasaviSesirdzija said:
Well the episode is done in mind with the second season(the technical glitch, the new characters they showed at the end, and so on). So now the only question is when will it be, and also to hope something doesn't come up and ruin it(like natural disaster, or a company deciding to ditch the show).

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AWesome i loved the Ending !!!! ryouta is an A-class gentleman , I see myself learning to be Kinder and nicer, to become a better human being from anime then real life! I enjoyed it alot thanks for showing it !!!!!!! ill always cry !!!!!!!!!!
- zeca said:
I thing its going to have a second sesson but it
might take some time because the 12 episodes reached chapter 50 of the manga and the manga currently has 52 chapters
- anima said:
Someone give the anime team more credits so this will continue, Hurry!
- jungsion said:

- djordje said:
Awesome i really hope there will be second season. One of the best animes i watched lately. I watched all 12 episodes in two day.
- taskforce141 said:
Haha, I knew so many people would love this anime, to me its like the first season of SAO. I knew this would be a great anime
By the way to all the people that are waiting for a season 2, I can't say for sure there will be a second season, but I do know there will be a movie this winter, so soon I believe.
- Caramelion said:
Holy crap. Is that nano singing the op? (the singer's a girl btw)
- btooom_fan said:
There will be more! Unless it was cancelled… Because the manga goes beyhond this point in the story! And the manga is so GOOD! xD The series is currently on chapter 52! Everyone should read it :3
- DTrainbows said:
