Patient Comments: Impetigo - Treatment
What was the treatment for your impetigo?
Comment from: school blew, 25-34 Male (Patient) Published: September 28
I have had impetigo since I was 4, almost always on my bottom lip, four to eight times a year. As I got older, I discovered ChapStick! Now I only get a breakout once every three or four months. Once it scabs over, I take a hot shower before I have to be somewhere. Besides being a little red, it makes it a lot less noticeable. I also have a strange feeling that I usually have a breakout after having orange juice or apple juice.
Comment from: 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: September 28
I had a sore inside my nose. I thought I scratched the inside of it. Within a day or so, it spread throughout both nostrils and in my right eye. I had very painful scabs. I was treated for impetigo with an antibiotic and steroid medication for 10 days.
Comment from: Hadassah, 0-2 Male (Caregiver) Published: October 16
My son has impetigo, and it's already over a month. I already gave him three rounds of oral antibiotic medications and Vitamin C prescribed by the doctor. At first it seems to get clear but after three days it gets back again, what should I do? I'm tired of these trial and error meds, because I have no more money to buy a medicine for such a nonsense and useless meds. My heart is always broken every time I see my 1 year old baby suffering with this skin disease.
Comment from: Dee, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: September 13
When I start feeling the tingling, I use mupirocin ointment, but when the blisters appear, I clean the area with a wet cloth to remove as many blisters as possible, and then apply the ointment. It usually takes about 3 days before I start seeing the effect.
Comment from: BASO, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: February 23
I am a 54 year old female. I don't know how I got it but it is horrible. I have had it for about 3 weeks now. I was first diagnosed with roscea. Then with impetigo (staph). I am taking antibiotics and ointment to put in my nose. It is not clearing up and I have only 3 days left of meds.
Comment from: BunnyO, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: January 27
Heracillin (a type of penicillin) works great. Only problems are fears that the infection trigger (which can be either staph or strep) could be antibiotic resistant.

So what happened? Sick of reporting depressing stories?
My boss discovered that I had some general computer knowledge and some website experience, so he offered me a promotion. Our paper was wanting to start a webpage, and our computer tech person also needed some backup handling "little computer problems" while he tackled the major stuff, and I was asked to take over those two responsibilities. (I guess it was cheaper to "promote" me than it would have been to hire on an experienced computer tech.)
I was a journalism major in college, but I had built my own computer a few times over and figured I could handle "little computer problems," and I had fun working on my own website, so I accepted.
Shortly thereafter (like, within a month), our old computer tech left, leaving me in charge of all of the computer systems with practically no training and only my own tinkering at home as my experience.
That was a year ago this month, and I am still playing catch-up, although I am learning.

Well, as long as you're getting paid more than when you're a journo...
After all, I got a gigantic raise... a whole $0.50 an hour.
How many computer techs (granted, untrained computer techs to be sure, but computer techs) do you know who are making less than $20 an hour? (Besides me, of course... I actually fall in the "under $14 an hour" range)
I do have better hours, though. Before, I had to go in at 8 a.m. and on most days, leave at 3 or 4 p.m. and go back to work to cover something in the evening (6, 7, or 8 p.m.) for an hour or two, and then do the same thing over the next day. Now I work basically 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Much easier to schedule things around.
And it also has it's moments. Today in a period of three hours I spent $35,000 of someone else's money. That was fun. :big grin: Unfortunately, we will be getting two new servers and 10 new workstations, and guess who will have to set those up? That part won't be fun.

Here's my guide, mostly to the steps before you get to Sorenson Squeeze:
1. Load up the VOB in DVD2AVI. Audio: decode to WAV, dolby surround downmix, dynamic range control off, 48 -> 44.1KHz UltraHigh. Video: field operation none, color space YUV (this is default anyway), YUV -> RGB PC scale (also default). Then I go to save project and create a project file that TMPGEnc can read.
2. Now, in TMPGEnc I load the project file I created in DVD2AVI, but don't load the WAV file it created, that's later. Click on Setting, and on the Video tab, set aspect ratio to 1:1 (VGA). Now in the advanced tab, video source type should've automatically selected Interlaced (since you selected no field operation in DVD2AVI). Field order could be either top field first (field A) or bottom field first (field B). To check this, go into the Deinterlace filter (without checking the box, just double-click on the name) and select the Even-Odd field (field) filter. Now choose a section in the video with some clearly discernable motion. Now if it plays very jittery, then the other field is first (if you have top field first selected, then change it to bottom field first). However, if it seems to play smoothly, you've selected the correct field. Now, I'm not going to deal with teaching aspect ratios, so I'll just tell you I set the source aspect ratio setting at 1:1 (VGA) on that tab as well. Set video arrange method to full screen. (These settings are assuming you're calculating the correct aspect ratio yourself.)
Now, if you are dealing with PAL video (if not, skip to the next paragraph), put a check next to "do not frame rate convertion." Then put a check next to the inverse telecine filter and go into that. Set the drop-down box for 25fps, and then right-click on the first frame in the upper boxes. Select "deal after this frame according to selected pattern" and type in "01". If you scroll through the movie and it looks interlaced, then change that to "10". If it's still interlaced after that, you have a double interlaced movie, so just skip (and uncheck) inverse telecine and select the double deinterlace filter.
If you are dealing with NTSC video, put a check next to inverse telecine and go into that. Click on Auto-setting and make sure setting method says 24 fps (flicker prioritized). Then click start. This will usually take a minute or two... I do this so you don't have to worry about adjusting for changing field orders yourself, TMPGEnc does it for you. Once this is done, click ok to get out of the filter setting.
Now, go to clip frame and do your cropping. While you're in here, try to notice if whatever you did to inverse telecine the video took care of most of all of the interlacing. If it's still pretty bad or noticeable, after this step you can add the deinterlace double filter.
Now simply enter the proper size of the video into the video tab, and now we go to file save project.
3a. This is ONLY if dealing with PAL video, if not, skip to 3b.
Open BeSweet, and load the WAV file you created in DVD2AVI. Put a check next to change frame rate, and set it for "from 25000 to 24000". Now click on the WAV to WAV button and let it create your now 24fps WAV file. Now load the WAV up in Sonic Foundry Sound Forge, and go to process, normalize. Choose the preset "Normalize RMS to -16 dB (music)". This will give you a pretty good average volume for your trailer. Now just save the WAV.
3b. This is ONLY if dealing with NTSC video, if not, go back to 3a.
Now load the WAV up in Sonic Foundry Sound Forge, and go to process, normalize. Choose the preset "Normalize RMS to -16 dB (music)". This will give you a pretty good average volume for your trailer. Now just save the WAV.
4. This is a pretty quick step. Remember the project file you saved in TMPGEnc? Now start up VFAPI, and load that file in there, and create your "fake" AVI file.
5. Load your VFAPI AVI into VirtualDub. Under audio, choose WAV audio, and select the WAV file you saved out of Sound Forge. Choose direct stream copy. Under video, go to filters, and add the levels filter. It takes some getting used to but this is my favorite tool for adjusting the brightness in a video. Now, if you had a PAL video, go to the frame rate setting and set it for change frame rate to 24.000 fps. If you had NTSC, leave this setting alone. Under compression set it for either Uncompressed (RGB) or your favorite lossless codec (mine is Morgan's MJPEG). (Note: MJPEG tends to mess up the first frame or two of every compression, so if there's some video there you want to look good, use uncompressed AVI or some other lossless codec).
6. Load the AVI you created into Sorenson Squeeze, and compress it however you want to. These are the settings I usually use for every size:
480x260: 1200k 50 keyframe
480x360: 1400k 50 keyframe
640x272: 1600k 65 keyframe
640x360: 1800k 65 keyframe
640x480: 2000k 65 keyframe
Well, there ya go! Maybe someone (Guiboche?) can post about aspect ratios.

I find that in lots of different projects I'm writing a lot of code where I need to evaluate a (moderately complex, possibly costly-to-evaluate) expression and then do something with it (e.g. use it for string formatting), but only if the expression is True/non-None.
For example in lots of places I end up doing something like the following:
result += '%s '%( <complexExpressionForGettingX> ) if <complexExpressionForGettingX> else ''
... which I guess is basically a special-case of the more general problem of wanting to return some function of an expression, but only if that expression is True, i.e.:
f( e() ) if e() else somedefault
but without re-typing the expression (or re-evaluating it, in case it's a costly function call).
Obviously the required logic can be achieved easily enough in various long-winded ways (e.g. by splitting the expression into multiple statements and assigning the expression to a temporary variable), but that's a bit grungy and since this seems like quite a generic problem, and since python is pretty cool (especially for functional stuff) I wondered if there's a nice, elegant, concise way to do it?
My current best options are either defining a short-lived lambda to take care of it (better than multiple statements, but a bit hard to read):
(lambda e: '%s ' % e if e else '')( <complexExpressionForGettingX> )
or writing my own utility function like:
def conditional(expr, formatStringIfTrue, default='')
... but since I'm doing this in lots of different code-bases I'd much rather use a built-in library function or some clever python syntax if such a thing exists

Flexibility of digestive responses in two generalist herbivores, the tortoises Geochelone carbonaria and Geochelone denticulata

To test the prediction that digestive responses digestibility, intake and passage time-of generalist herbivores vary with different diets, feeding trials were conducted in Venezuela with two sympatric tortoise species, Geochelone carbonaria and G. denticulata. Three single-species diets (two fruit, one foliage) were fed to both species. For a given diet, digestibility, mass-specific intake and passage time did not differ between the two tortoise species, nor did they vary by sex or body mass within each species. However, the digestive parameters varied for tortoises feeding on the different diets. The responses ranged from nearly abandoning cell wall fermentation and depending entirely on extraction of cell contents to relying heavily on cell wall fermentation. Therefore, these generalist herbivores have flexible digestive responses that are influenced by diet, not fixed digestive responses that limit the diet, as previously observed in other generalist herbivores. A three-part classification of herbivores (specialist, specialized mixed feeder and opportunistic mixed feeder) is suggested as an approach to understanding flexible and inflexible digestive strategies in herbivores.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

I. Introduction
This is a short extract from Liz Greene's Psychological Horoscope Analysis. The complete report of 18-25 pages can be ordered as an E-Horoscope or a bound booklet in the Astroshop.This horoscope analysis - using the insights of astrology and psychology combined with the tools of advanced computer technology - offers you an astrological portrait which is uniquely and individually focussed and which aims at providing greater self-knowledge. II. Your Psychological Type
This short chapter describes your typical or characteristic way of responding to situations in life.The rich array of individual attributes portrayed in your birth horoscope is set, as it is with everyone, against the backdrop of a certain temperament bias. We might call this bias your psychological "type". Other people are the most important thing in the world to you, and you tend to live your life for and through them. Your gifts are those of the heart. You have great empathy for people's unhappiness, and may often find yourself playing the role of good father to those friends and loved ones who need an understanding and nonjudgmental shoulder to cry on. You adore feeling needed, and dislike hurting others; and you are capable of immense loyalty and devotion to those who are close to you. Your [...] [..] What "other people" think is entirely too important to you, and you will need to learn to risk expressing your own highly original ideas and viewpoints - even if these are apparently "odd" in conventional terms - if you are to ever feel truly independent and capable of coping [...] III. Character and Shadow
In this comprehensive chapter of the Psychological Horoscope Liz Greene provides valuable insights about your essential character traits.The interplay between the conscious and unconscious sides of you is a constantly shifting dance, changing at different stages of your life and altering according to the pressures and challenges which you encounter. The tension between the primary characters in your inner drama is the source of energy which provides your life with movement, purpose, conflict and growth. [..] Your chief fulfillment comes through your relationships with others, and through the feeling that your great reserves of strength are of use and value for someone else. You are not particularly interested in abstract concerns for a statistically defined humanity, nor with [...] [..] You tend to worry a lot about others, not only because you are sympathetic and concerned, but also because you have a horror of life inflicting some awful blow which will cause separation between you and your loved ones. And separation is the thing you can bear least. You are [...] Hidden traits [..] This figure, which lies in the shadow-world of the unconscious, represents all those qualities which really belong to you yet which you have of necessity excluded from your life in order to retain your feeling of constant relationship with others. Your shadow-side contains [...] A minor character You have made peace with the world's requirements, and intend to enjoy to the full whatever life makes available to you. Reality for you consists of what you can see, touch, smell, taste, hear, and put in the bank; and although you love physical beauty wherever you find [...] IV. The Family Background
In the complete horoscope analysis, this chapter deals with your family myths as well as with your perception of your parents and their relationship.Although you are an individual, you have emerged from a family background. Thus you contain certain inner patterns, myths and attitudes toward life which you have acquired from the psychological soil of this background. V. Relationship Patterns
This chapter describes attitudes, needs and characteristic patterns in close one-to-one relationships.Both astrology and psychology teach us that nothing that occurs within a relationship is chance. Your birth horoscope describes what you are like inside, and therefore what kind of patterns, needs and compulsions you are likely to bring into your relationships with others. Although you are not above a little straying from the path of monogamous commitment (in fantasy if not in actuality), you tend to place enormous importance on the stability of your domestic life; and you tend to become deeply dependent on those you love because close relationships form the bedrock of your life. You are naturally attracted to women who are elusive, unpredictable, intellectually alive, and even perhaps a little childlike and in need of your protection. This kind of partner is a [...] VI. Paths toward Integration
The final chapter of the Psychological Horoscope Analysis contains insights into the potential for growth as shown in your birth chart.The following paragraphs provide some suggestions of ways in which conscious effort might make it possible for you to achieve greater harmony between the different components within yourself, and to strengthen that centre of the personality which psychology calls the ego, the "I". Appendix
These small samples from different chapters convey an impression of your personal Psychological Horoscope which comprises 18 - 25 pages. It can be ordered as an E-Horoscope or bound booklet in the Astroshop. Please read a complete sample report (of a different person) to get an overview of the extent of the complete horoscope.You may wish to take a look at the range of our reports.

Great recipe, really decicious. I used Balkan Yougart and loved it. I stuck to two cloves and it was strong, three woud have overdone it for me. I left out the oil too. Still fabulous.
Try it with mint instead of garlic or in addition to a smaller amount of garlic - it makes a great salad dressing and is diet freindly if you use low-fat or nonfat yogurt - it also works well with tuna salad instead of mayo - actually anywhere you use mayo or salad dressing

Your children will see what you're all about by what you live rather than what you say.
Wayne Dyer
Contributed by: Zaady
Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.
You can't choose up sides on a round world.
Anything inside that immobilizes me, gets in my way, keeps me from my goals, is all mine.
You cannot always control what goes on outside. But you can always control what goes on inside.
The last suit that you wear, you don't need any pockets.
Our lives are a sum total of the choices we have made.
Anything you really want, you can attain, if you really go after it.
We are Divine enough to ask and we are important enough to receive.
If I could define enlightenment briefly I would say it is ''the quiet acceptance of what is.''

Du Fu and Li Bai - The Poets
China's two favourite poets were born 1,300 years ago, at the beginning of the 8th Century. The language has changed so little that they remain easy for modern Chinese people to read, and their themes are still relevant today - from friendship, love and landscape to the stench of political corruption.
Kaiser Kuo, a founder of China's first heavy-metal band, is probably one of the very few rock musicians, in any country, who draws inspiration from a poet born in 701AD.
"He was quite a drunkard... and writing some of his best poetry apparently, while completely inebriated. You know, he's wild and associated with a kind of unbridled revelry, and yeah that's part of why I love him," says Kuo.
He is talking about Li Bai, a poet born in Central Asia, who became a wandering superstar poet in China, known as "the fallen immortal" or "the immortal of wine".
Li Bai was a huge celebrity, showered with honours because of his genius. Du Fu, on the other hand, aspired to a career as a civil servant, but he failed the exam and was too prickly to network his way into a good post. In his later years, Du Fu was so poor that one of his children died of starvation.
Today, every Chinese person learns poems by Li Bai, and the country's other favourite poet, Du Fu, from childhood and their work is considered as important in Chinese literary history as Shakespeare is to people in Britain.

Regarding Jerry Ryan's "Orthodoxy & Dissent" (February 8): In August 2009, Bishop Thomas Joseph Tobin of Providence published a review of Archbishop Rembert Weakland's autobiography A Pilgrim in a Pilgrim Church in the Rhode Island Catholic, the diocesan newspaper ("Archbishop Weakland's Perplexing Pilgrimage"). Unlike some conservative critics of Weakland, Bishop Tobin generously acknowledged many of his fellow bishop's personal qualities and achievements. But he was also harshly critical of what he described as Weakland's "self-serving inconsistencies and contradictions." All four of the examples Tobin gives are seriously flawed, but it is the first that is apropos here. It concerns dissent.
Bishop Tobin writes, "For example, although the archbishop always took pride in his liberal theological tendencies and his public pronouncements on controversial issues, he seemed to be genuinely puzzled, even hurt, when others labeled him a dissident." The archbishop was called a "dissenter" and many other things by critics during his decades as a high-...

Research Institution:
AbstractHigh speed air breathing engines can deliver payloads with vehicles that are smaller and lighter than rocket powered vehicles. Unfortunately, ignition and flame holding in scramjet engines has proven to be difficult, particularly with cold hardware and low-volatility fuels such as JP-7. Although methods to improve ignition and flame holding have been evaluated, improvements are still needed. A very effective way to improve scramjet performance would be to catalytically decompose nitrous oxide into a very hot, about 2500°F, mixture of oxygen and nitrogen which could be used either in a pilot ignition flame or in a barbotage fuel injector. Unfortunately, traditional catalysts cannot withstand this temperature without losing their activity very rapidly. However, Reaction Systems has developed thermally stable catalysts that have high initial activity and will remain active after exposure to these extreme temperatures. In Phase I, we showed that our catalysts met the criteria for this application and we produced conceptual designs of an N2O storage and delivery system and a counter flow catalytic heat exchanger/reactor. The overall objective of the Phase II project is to advance the technology to the point that we can demonstrate the effectiveness of N2O decomposition on a scramjet ground test engine. BENEFIT: The most immediate application of our catalyst technology would be to improve the performance of engines that power high speed, short flight duration vehicles. An effective ignition or fuel atomization system would greatly improve ignition reliability, flame stability, and overall performance. An effective N2O decomposition system could be used to provide breathing air for a variety of applications including firefighting and diving potentially reducing weight, providing increased maneuverability, and larger air inventories. In addition thermally stable catalysts needed for this application could also find use in the power generation industry where a catalyst could reduce NOX emissions by permitting operation under very lean conditions which reduces combustion temperature.

India's top mobile phone firm Bharti Airtel said Wednesday its quarterly profit leapt by 115 percent, the first rise in four years, boosted by surging data use and an easing of price wars.
Bharti, the fourth-largest telecom firm globally, said net profit for the third financial quarter to December climbed to 6.1 billion rupees ($98 million) from 2.84 billion rupees in the same period a year earlier.
The company's focus on Internet operations "has increased adoption and usage" of Bharti, said Indian chief executive Gopal Vittal.
"Data is now a huge source of revenue," Vittal added.
Data services have become the new battleground for Indian telecom companies as they try to boost revenues in an increasingly saturated domestic mobile market.
Bharti, controlled by billionaire founder-chairman Sunil Bharti Mittal, had clocked 15 straight quarters of profit decline before Wednesday's rise.
The figures still undershot market expectations of a 10-billion rupee profit for the three-month period but analysts said the quarter was positive overall.
"Competitive intensity is declining in India thanks to (the) fruits of consolidation and the data numbers give quite a bit to be excited about," telecom analyst Harit Shah at Mumbai's Nirmal Securities told AFP.
The Indian firm, with 287 million customers and operations in both Africa and Asia, said Internet revenue soared 105 percent year-on-year to 17.36 billion rupees.
Total revenue climbed 13.3 percent in the third quarter to 219.4 billion rupees from 193.6 billion rupees a year earlier.
Average revenue per user, a key industry profitability benchmark, jumped five percent in India.
Bharti operates in 20 countries and is nearly one-third held by Singapore's SingTel.
India's telecom sector was a market star before fierce tariff competition pushed call rates down to among the world's lowest.
But the number of major telecoms players has fallen, with just three firms -- Bharti, Vodafone and Reliance -- accounting for nearly three-quarters of revenues.
A 2012 Supreme Court ruling scrapped the licences of various smaller firms over a scandal-tainted spectrum sale.
The easing of market congestion has allowed companies to start raising calling rates. While there is still a price battle for data customers, that has been more than offset by the volume of new customers, analysts say.
But the industry faces a new deep-pocketed rival, Reliance Jio Infocomm belonging to Reliance Industries which is controlled by India's richest tycoon Mukesh Ambani.
Bharti must bid to purchase new spectrum in an auction of mobile airwaves starting February 3 to keep providing services in several areas where it already operates.
Aggressive bidding by Reliance Industries could boost prices at the auction, at which the cash-strapped government is hoping to raise at least $1.8 billion, analysts say.
Reliance's planned entry could force Bharti and other telecom players to raise capital expenditure to improve services and may even trigger a new tariff price war, analysts say.
After gaining, Bharti shares reversed gear to close down 1.52 percent at 301.65 rupees as sentiment was knocked by an Economic Times report that the company could face a 10-billion-rupee tax bill over transfer of telecom tower assets in an infrastructure-sharing joint venture.
A Bharti spokesman called the report "frivolous" and told AFP the telecom giant has always followed the "highest tax compliance standards".
Bharti's Africa operations, which it purchased for $10.6 billion in 2010 to expand its global footprint, meanwhile, continue to face headwinds.
The Africa division has yet to declare a profit and it added 36 percent fewer customers during the third quarter compared to a year earlier.

Chipotle's troubles have undermined its public claims that it uses safer and higher quality organic and local ingredients when available.
Relationships are hard. Conflict is everywhere. Lately, Michelle has been trying to blame Lev's farts on me, even though -- and I swear I am not making this up -- only one of us can hiccup and fart at the same time, and it's not me. (Tried. Can't.)
So you've heard the heart-wrenching news about Chipotle closing 43 stores in the Pacific Northwest to deal with a nasty outbreak of E. coli, and perhaps you've made the agonizing decision to hold off on your weekly (daily? anyone?) slice of burrito heaven until they've got this pesky bacterial infection safely squared away.
Just in time to put a damper on your Labor Day barbecue, the latest edition of Consumer Reports Magazine hit newsstands yesterday with the cover story, "How Safe is Your Ground Beef?" Our two-word summary: Not very.
Sometimes it sucks and is unfair. Sometimes awful, unthinkable things happen. We can not expect the world to think of every terrible possibility and walk on eggshells to avoid triggering our nightmares.
There are no eloquent words to describe the pain of losing a child. It is unending. It feels exactly as you would imagine it would, but worse

The food you eat is the biggest socio-political decision you make each day. However, conditions and treatment of animals is not only a moral issue. Animal treatment has a direct impact on the health of American consumers.
Clearly the contamination of recreational waters and key venues is a big concern. But when you go, do you know that you could leave your E. coli behind? And what does that mean in regard to your health?
Is it acceptable that an accidental spillage in the kitchen refrigerator or the incorrect handling or cooking of meat at a restaurant can now result in a life-threatening -- yet entirely preventable -- antibiotic-resistant disease? Well, Big Ag seems to think so.
We decided to analyze outbreak data to answer the question: What are the riskiest -- and the safest -- meat and poultry products? Which foods are most likely to make us sick and cause the most severe cases of illness?
Deadly outbreaks of foodborne illnesses have been all too common in recent years, from salmonella-tainted peanut butter to E. coli in vegetables. We now have a real opportunity to reverse this disturbing trend, if we do it the right way.
Have you ever noticed that the USDA recommends that steaks and roasts be cooked to 145° while ground beef should be cooked to 160°? Have you ever wondered why there is a difference? After all, beef is beef -- right?
I've known for a long time that chicken can be toxic, but an April article in the New York Times showed that almost half of the chicken in grocery stores is contaminated by E coli, which researchers say is an indicator of fecal contamination.

Hmm, maybe his version of ep5 joked about the original Haruhi manga being better than the anime.

I find it hard to believe this bit of news. Since when have the Japanese been so blunt in dismissing an employee, instead of trying to save face for everybody? Nevermind that there has been absolutely nothing wrong with Lucky Star. The first ep was a bit rough, but the later ones were much better.

As to the question of whether there has been any weakness in episode direction, the only criticisms I can think of about how Lucky Star is put together are firstly, the abrupt scene changes which make it hard to tell that a new conversation is starting: I would prefer a fadeout, even a 1 second transition—fade to black then fade back in again—would suffice to punctuate the scenes, but instead we get these sudden jumps and you're not quite sure for a few seconds whether this is still the same conversation or a new one.
Secondly, compared to, say, Haruhi, there are fewer interesting camera angles and compositions. It is very rare that we see anything other than (1) head and shoulders shots or (2) top half of the figures. More visual variety would be good, full length shots, distance shots, odd angles etc. I think the variety may be increasing but a quick review of episode 3 reveals that those two compositions account for at least 90% of all shots.

I'm mixed on the camera angle issue... after all, the "talking heads" syndrome is about 80% of the comic as well. OTOH, an anime adaptation means the director *CAN* let the camera swing out and in and around -- giving us an expanded interpretation of the characters rather than just "doing a 4-koma with motion"
Haruhi was sourced from a light novel series so all they had to work with was the written descriptions and the very rare piece of illustration.
The more I think about it... it *would* be nice to let the animated medium do more with the same material....

If that's the attitude they have, then this will only be the first of many staff departures.
Fancy lighting effects, wierd camera angles, 3d renderings, and all that worked for SHnY. But it won't work for LS. IMO, it'd ruin LS because the beauty of the 4koma is in its minimalism.
edit: This could also turn out to be a lose-lose decision. If the nature of the show changes significantly, they risk upsetting the people who already like the show. Whereas the critics, it seems to me, would not be satisfied with anything less than significant changes.
There's a proverb about not rocking a boat in mid-stream, or something.
(yes,i know the real proverb,i just like mixing metaphors for fun)

I think that it's just going to take a bit to spread its wings, so to speak. I don't expect it to depart greatly from what we've seen, but Azumanga Daioh went through the same "growth spurts" to reach its full potential.

Items like the festival or the roadtrip to the beach, (trying to think of other outdoor events) .... I can think of a few sequences where they could run a bit wilder than close shots -- we'll see what they decide to do with those.
The meat of the material is in the verbal wordplay and "daily chatting and small talk" they engage in though... and there's something perfect about the camera angle that leaves tiny little heads chatting amidst a Large Backdrop .... something nicely metaphorical about it.

Good to hear the Director got the axe. So far watching this series I only had a few chuckles but no laugh out loud moments. This show to me seems nothing more then a slice at life anime with hardly any comedy well they try at comedy but mostly fail.
The first several minutes of the first episode was extremly bad they just went on and on and on with dialogue about food but NOTHING was funny about it what the hell where they thinking? With the new director being the same guy who did Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu this show can still be saved now that anime had some laugh out moments.

OTZ... people... get over the fact that L*S doesn't summarise itself with only episode 1... (not targeted at the above poster particularly, but it appears that ep 1 haunt much fellows beyond healthy reasoning...)
the fact the new director has done FMP?F doesn't guarantee the following episodes will have "100% hit" humor anyway (especially if they still follow closely the original material)

I haven't really gotten into the show I find the characters to be very likeable but the comedy feels flat. I enjoyed Azumanga, Pani Poni Dash, Hidamari Sketch and Strawberry Marshmallow but this show hasn't really click with me.
Yes I do blame the director for his preformance on the the series really the food dialouge in the first episode should have been cut shorter he should have notice it felt dragged out with nothing really funny about it. There were also other bits that had me yawning a bit. Eps 2 and onwards were better then the 1st episode was still a lot of room for improvement.
I don't know maybe I had to high expectations for this series it's not BAD but it's not great either.
I'm not expecting the new director to changed the overtone of the series or to there to be big changes but to give a "umph" that was missing in this series or something like that lol. Like the comedy bits ending up better executed and places that could end up feeling dragged out(i.e.food dialogue bit) not end up happening because he'll take a notice.
Really hope best for this series because I don't want it to fell.

I can't dispute on a "4-koma genre" scale with Azumanga/Ichigo-Masimaro ... Lucky*Star comes in a little short but I'll never quite know whether its because those came first or not. Azumanga specifically covered the three years of high school and so had an overall chronology of events. Ichigo Masimaro covered specific and seasonal event in one year. In L*S, although there's a rough chronology, a lot of the gags are pretty timeless or time-independent ... (more like Peanuts or Zits where its like Groundhog Day on a yearly basis).
I've decided that I like the drawing style in L*S better than I.M. and AzuDa independent of anything else (especially the way he draws their eyes). But really... I like each series for slightly different reasons and would hate to have to choose just one.

Not a bad idea. Call me crazy, but I like it.
So, Konata singing the opening song of FMP Fumoffu was a sort of foreshadowing, I guess?

JACKSONVILLE -- When the Jacksonville Jaguars break the huddle, Maurice Jones-Drew can be difficult to find.
Not just because he's small.
The Jaguars are lining up Jones-Drew all over the field, an effort to keep the 5-foot-7, 208-pound running back from taking so many punishing hits in his first season as the team's offensive centerpiece.
"That's just being smart," quarterback David Garrard said. "He's a huge part of our offense, and we've got to do what we can to keep him out of harm's way."
Jacksonville's philosophy has nothing to do with Jones-Drew's durability. Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio believes the former UCLA standout and second-round draft pick is probably the toughest runner in the NFL.
But without Fred Taylor sharing carries, the Jaguars want to ensure that Jones-Drew stays healthy all season. So they're trying to minimize the number of times he's tackled by mammoth defensive linemen and hard-hitting linebackers.
Jones-Drew has lined up at running back, fullback, receiver and quarterback. He's been in the backfield, in the slot and out wide. He's gotten the ball on handoffs, pitches, screen passes, flair passes, bubble screens, quick slants and deep routes.
He even threw a touchdown pass in the team's first scrimmage last weekend, so there's no telling what he'll do in Jacksonville's preseason opener Monday night at Miami.
"I'm just trying to be ready to do whatever the coaches ask -- play receiver, run the ball, block, return kicks," Jones-Drew said. "Whatever it is, I'm willing to do it."
Jones-Drew did plenty in his first three seasons.
He ran 530 times for 2,533 yards, caught 148 passes for 1,408 yards and scored 40 touchdowns. Only San Diego's LaDainian Tomlinson has more touchdowns (61) than Jones-Drew since 2006.
Despite starting just three games and running behind an injury-depleted offensive line in 2008, Jones-Drew led the Jaguars with 824 yards rushing and 12 touchdowns. He also caught 62 passes for 565 yards -- more than any other running back in the league -- and two scores.
He had some problems, though.
After fumbling just once as a rookie and twice in 2007, Jones-Drew fumbled six times last season. Five came in the final four games.
Nonetheless, the Jaguars were convinced he could be the cornerstone of the offense. They released Taylor in February, parting ways with the team captain after 11 seasons, and gave Jones-Drew a five-year, $31 million contract that included $17.5 million guaranteed.
They also started tweaking the playbook.
"I think he's one of the premier playmakers in the league," Del Rio said. "Certainly for us he's a guy we're going to give plenty of touches to. So whether we're handing him the ball, throwing him the ball, whether he's blocking, he's a real good football player and we'll do different things to get him involved."
And keep him out of the training room.
"As far as taking hits, we're going to monitor how much he gets like anybody does with their backs," Del Rio said. "Regardless of who is carrying the ball, you're always monitoring the number of reps, and you have a target and a goal. There will be games when you don't get to it and you want to do it more, and then there will be times where maybe you go beyond it and you realize that you're probably going to be sore the next day. That's all part of it."
Jones-Drew is eager for more, even willing to take on a "Larry Johnson workload." Johnson set an NFL record with 416 carries in 2006, and added 41 receptions.
Jones-Drew doesn't anticipate getting that many touches, not with Greg Jones and rookie Rashad Jennings in the mix for playing time. But he could get close to 400, if he stays healthy.
"The league has changed thanks to Brian Westbrook and Marshall Faulk," Jones-Drew said. "You can throw a short pass to a running back and it'll be just like a carry because you're getting the ball at the line of scrimmage. But you're getting it in space and not taking the hits."

I just want to be happy enjoying life and laugh as much as possible! :)
I like to try new things, and I like to stay active. I enjoy fun in the sun, reading and writing, dancing and singing. (Not at all good at the singing.) I like to cook new combinations of foods, and in the summer walk around fairs and festivals. My ideal match would be fun to be with and make me laugh at things that aren't at other people's expense. I'm looking for someone who's honest and has good morals and a fun-loving personality. A person who is a hard worker but spends a lot of quality time with the important people in his life is a plus.

Hmm.. anywhere there's food..?? Summerfest.

I love dance music that includes rap.. because it's fun to learn the words and sing along. I like pop and boy bands, although this may not be exactly attractive to a man. I also like other music including rock and country, if that helps.
Anywhere friends are will be a good time. I love playing games at Dave and Buster's- especially air hockey, and I'd like to try ping-pong at Spin. I love fairs and festivals and walking downtown of wherever I visit. I also like concerts and cookouts.
I'm reading Ellen DeGeneres' "Seriously...I'm Kidding."
