GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Israeli tanks and troops pulled back to the Israel-Gaza border Friday after an unusually deadly incursion that killed 30 Palestinians over three days. The army said the withdrawal was temporary and did not mean its monthlong offensive in the Gaza Strip was over.
Palestinians streamed out of their homes, inspecting their battered houses and vehicles while rescue workers searched for bodies underneath rubble. Militants picked up mines and explosives they had planted to hit Israeli tanks.
The world's attention stayed fixed further north, in Lebanon, where Israel is battling Hezbollah guerrillas.
Palestinian officials said they had not received a response to their demand that Israel guarantees that it will free women, children and long-serving Palestinian prisoners before an Israeli soldier seized by Gaza militants is released.
Cpl. Gilad Shalit, 19, was captured by Hamas-linked militants in a cross-border raid on June 25 that prompted the latest Israeli incursion into Gaza. Two Israeli soldiers were killed.
Dr. Salah Bardawil, a senior Hamas official, said Israel's refusal to guarantee that it would release any Palestinian prisoners if Shalit were freed created a stalemate.
Shalit is believed to remain in the custody of Palestinian militant groups.
Israel's second front opened on the Lebanese border after Hezbollah guerrillas captured two Israeli soldiers in a cross-border raid July 12.
Bardawil denied reports that Hamas and Hezbollah were cooperating in negotiations for the release of prisoners.
He noted, however, that he would support such an effort "if it is in the interests of both Lebanese and Palestinians."
According to an Associated Press count, Israeli troops have killed 159 Palestinians since they started attacking the Gaza Strip to try to recover Shalit and stop Palestinian militants from firing rockets into Israel. Most of the dead were militants but some were civilians.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said during a trip to Algeria that the situation in the Palestinian areas and Lebanon was only likely to get worse following world leaders' failure to agree on an immediate cease-fire at a summit in Rome on Wednesday.
"The situation will worsen and the consequences will be very heavy, not only for the region but probably for the entire world," he told Algeria's official APS news agency.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for a rocket attack on the southern Israeli town of Zikim that hit two children with shrapnel.
Israeli aircraft hit a metal workshop in the city of Khan Younis that the military said was a weapons storehouse.
The strike wounded nine people, including two children, hospital officials said.
A 40-year-old Palestinian man whose house was targeted by Israeli forces on Thursday died of his wounds, hospital officials said.

- n. an eye operation that treats closed-angle glaucoma by surgical removal of part of the iris of the eye
Sorry, no etymologies found.
Late or secondary infection, not unknown following iridectomy, may follow the trephine operation, and already some fifteen or sixteen cases have been reported.
This being the case one cannot truthfully say that trephining alone can take the place of the old Graefe iridectomy.
Even then the permanent results of the iridectomy will be modified in proportion to the success secured in freeing the filtration angle and opening Schlemm's canal by thorough removal of the root of the iris.
Although Lagrange advocated iridectomy in all cases in his first communication, he no longer judges the procedure to be necessary in all instances, reserving it for cases in which for any reason, such as hypertension, prolapse is to be feared.
It is in such cases that the success of the operation is increased by the addition of posterior sclerotomy and the intelligent use of miotics prior to the performance of the iridectomy.
This is especially apt to be the case in chronic glaucoma where the iris is adherent to the cornea, and in efforts to free the filtration angle by an iridectomy the iris is torn off in front of the adhesion and the filtration angle is not opened.
Elschnig and others that fistula forming operations eventually will be discarded in favor of iridectomy and cyclodialysis.
Dr. Wood has referred to several of the many substitutes for iridectomy that have been proposed, and it is unnecessary to enumerate them again or to attempt to point out their good or bad features.
The difficulties of an iridectomy are especially pronounced in those cases in which the anterior chamber is extremely shallow and the iris is pressed against the cornea.
Many operators still hold that an iridectomy is the most valuable of all operations for acute inflammatory glaucoma, and not a few hold that the operation has a decided place in the treatment of simple glaucoma.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas.
By Miss P
Summary: Booth makes sure Tempe isn't alone at Christmas…
Disclaimer: I don't own Bones, or the song in this story.
Part one of three.
Angela has been walking around with a smile on her lips all day, Zach has been babbling about his holiday traditions with his large family, Hodgins, about some stupid Christmas fantasy as always, Booth, well I haven't seen him today at all, guess he's too busy preparing Christmas for his son. Me, I try not to think of it. I hate Christmas; it's the season when everyone's supposed to get together with their families, to be happy and warm.
It's the day before Christmas and everyone has plans, everyone's too busy with their own lives to notice how I'm handling this. Seeing all this decorations, all these shiny stuff makes me want to scream out loud. I hate everything about it because it brings back memories I'd prefer to never think of again. I've put all that behind me, the loss of my parents, but still the image of the Christmas tree so many years back haunts me, maybe it always will. I don't think I can forget, no matter how much I try, the pain is just too real. Sometimes I still feel like that little girl, all alone and desperate to know why her parents didn't want her anymore.
I've been alone so very long, I've started to get used to it. This time at the year is the toughest. I know I should be happy for my friends, but I can't help but feel jealous. How come they have everything and I have nothing? That's not fair…
As I stood there, I could hear Angela singing a Christmas carol. I couldn't help but return her smile as she walked pass me; I hope she didn't see the sadness in it. I don't want to ruin her good mood.
Slowly I turned and headed for my office, maybe I wouldn't have to watch all those happy faces… maybe no one would notice that I was missing…
I don't know how long I'd been sitting there; maybe it was an hour, maybe even more. Suddenly I heard a soft knock on my door. Before I could say something, the door opened.
"Hey Bones!"
I sighed, another happy face, I didn't know how much more I could take.
Booth walked in, closed the door, took a chair and sat down opposite the desk. He looked at me, I couldn't determine what the look in his eyes meant.
"Are you alright?" Booth asked in a low voice. I forced myself to nod.
"Uh I have… a question…" Booth started, "I was wondering if you'd… if you want to uh, spend Christmas with… me… this year…"
I smiled at him, but shook my head.
"Thank you… but I can't…"
"Why not?"
"You have Parker, Rebecca, your family… I'd just be in the way Booth."
"Bones, I wouldn't have asked if it wasn't okay."
I shook my head stubbornly. How could I say yes? I'd ruin everything for him. I could never do that to Booth.
I didn't want anything more than to give in and say yes, but before I could think, I heard myself say no. "I don't even like Christmas Booth, and you know why," I realized my words came out way too harsh. "I'm sorry… hey, thank you, but no…" this time it was barely a whisper.
Booth nodded without saying anything. He got up and walked to the door. Suddenly he stopped and turned. He had a smug smile on his lips.
"Don't think you're getting away that easy Bones."
"Booth," I warned.

Wednesday, November 9, 2005
October 8, 2005
Hood River Rotary Club member Rodger Schock usually gets "fined" at least $1 every meeting for some remark that he has made or action that he has taken.
But the small business owner, who also holds the seat of county commission chair, doesn't mind the good-natured ribbing. He believes that any problem can be solved if he can get the opposing sides together over a good cup of coffee. So, Schock has become the county's unofficial goodwill ambassador which, he admits, has made him somewhat of a "moving target."
"Give me a bad time if you like but I'm still an optimist," said Schock.
He, like the other 135 Rotary members, knows that the money exhorted from his wallet each week by Sergeant-at-Arms Dave Waller or Mike Thompson is being used for a charitable cause. Besides, he's in good company. At one time or another, every member antes up for an unplanned contribution into the general fund.
This week, Schock is surprised, and rather pleased, not to be called to task for some "offense." Instead, Waller has focused on some empty space at a front table. He has decided to double the fine for all of the people sitting in the back of the room. His logic is that they should have worked harder to recruit new members or taken the time to bring a visitor.
While he's at it, Waller levies a $2 penalty to fans of either the Oregon State Beavers or the University of Oregon Ducks. He believes both teams played so badly in recent competition that any and all supporters need to be penalized.
"We're hoping that a month of practice might improve both of their games," said Waller.
Fun aside, the Rotary Club also has serious business to conduct during each one-hour meeting. The local club, founded 78 years ago, draws government leaders and business professionals to the Gorge Room of the Hood River Inn at noon every Thursday. They come to get up to speed on current events over lunch. But, on a deeper level, they believe the community can be a better place because of their active involvement.
President Michael Schock (no relation to Rodger) routinely challenges each member to stay involved in some type of public service. He also presents the auction item of the week to collect more money for a long list of projects. This time, member Jean Sheppard makes the winning bid of $125 for a $90 gift certificate to Celilo, a new restaurant in downtown Hood River.
Each year, because of the "fines," auctions and other fundraising drives, Rotary donates about $25,000 for youth scholarships, in addition to investing thousands into other projects. The money-making ventures are intended to be entertaining, such as a wine raffle, but the intent is serious. The motto of Rotary is "Service Above Self" and the club takes that credo to heart.
"We have a lot of fun and we do a lot of good and it just works well together," said Michael Schock, who took office in July.
Rotary has been able, in recent years, to contribute $40,000 toward construction of the local skatepark, $10,000 for the erection of a pergola at the county library's Georgiana Smith Memorial Park, and about that same amount toward construction of the new Hospice of the Gorge headquarters. In January, Rotary has committed to hosting a ski night that is expected to net $4,000 for the continuing Mt. Hood Towne Hall renovations.
Rotary members are also routinely educated about local, state and national issues — and often inspired — by weekly speakers. The topics presented by visiting dignitaries, such as U.S. Rep. Greg Walden, who makes his home in Hood River, range from land-use matters to legislative updates.
One of the latest speakers was Linda Adams, the county's veteran affairs officer. Adams gained an almost unanimous showing of hands when she asked if any Rotary member had served in the military, or had friends or family members who had been in the armed forces. She said almost everyone had known a soldier at some time in their life and all citizens were the beneficiaries of that dedication to country. Therefore, Adams said it was important to thank a veteran at every available opportunity.
"I'm very passionate about my job and very compassionate to my vets," she said. "I personally feel like every day is Veterans Day and I hope you feel the same way."
The enthusiastic applause after Adam's speech ended another hour of camaraderie in a group united by a shared vision and a common cause. At 1 p.m., it was time for the meeting to draw to a close. But not before Michael Schock had given one last reminder that each individual needed to make a difference in the life of someone else during the upcoming week.
Rotary asks its members to take The Four-Way Test in all their endeavors. The tests requests that they evaluate each potential word or action by these questions: Is it the Truth? Is it Fair to All Concerned? Will it Build Goodwill and Better Friendships? Will it be Beneficial to All Concerned?"
From an objective perspective, Rotary's vision doesn't seem that far off from that of Rodger Schock, its most heavily-fined member, after all.
Around the Clock has now gone past half-way. The weekly Saturday feature, which started July 16, chronicles people and events of Hood River County, one hour at a time. Around the Clock will conclude in our Christmas Eve edition.

Parkdale third graders sing "12 Disaster Days of Christmas"
Welcome to your sing-able Christmas gift list. What follows is an emergency rendition of "12 Days of Christmas" – for outfitting your home or car in case of snow storm, earthquake, flood or other emergency. Read it as a simple list, or sing it to the tune of "12 Days" – you know, as in " … and a partridge in a pear tree…" Not to make light of it, but the song is a familiar framework for a set of gift ideas that you could consider gathering together, even if the recipient already owns items such as a bunch of coats, tire chains and flashlights. Stores throughout the Gorge are stocked up on all these items. Buying all 12 days might be prohibitive, but here are three ideas for checking any of the dozen off your list (notations follow, 1-12.) The gift items needed to stay warm, dry and safe are also coded to suggest items in your abode (A) in your car (C) or both (B). 12 Gallons of Water (A) 11 Family meals (B) 10 Cans of propane (A) 9 Hygiene bags (B) 8 Packs of batteries (A) 7 Spare coats (B) 6 Bright red flares (C) 5 Cozy blankets (B) 4 Tire chains (C) 3 Flashlights (B) 2 cell phone chargers (B) 1 And a crush-proof first aid kit (B) Price ranges? Here's a few quotes for days Three, Two, Four and Nine: n A family gift of flashlights (three will run $15-30, Hood River Supply, Tum-A-Lum) n Cell phone chargers (two will run $30-60) n Tire chains (basic set, $30, Les Schwab, returnable if unused for the winter) n Family meals ($100 or so should cover the basics for three or four reasonably well-fed days) n The home kit should be kept in a handy place near an exit, and remember that water needs to be replenished every few months. If you have a solid first aid kit already, switch out the gift idea with "and-a-sto-o-u-t- tub-for it-all …" Otherwise, it's a case of assembling your home or car kits and making sure all members of the family know what the resources are and how to use them (ie flares and propane). Emergency situations are at worst life-threatening, at best deeply uncomfortable if you and your family are left without power for an extended period, or traveling and find yourself in a situation where you need to wait out a storm, lengthy traffic delay, or other crisis. Notes on the 12 gift ideas: 12 – Gallons of water: that's one per person in a four-member family to last for three days, the recommended minimum to be prepared for utility outages. 11 – Easy-open packaged goods, energy bars, dried food and nuts are good things to include for nutrition. Think of what your family of four needs for three days to stay fortified and hydrated (see number 12). Can-opener also recommended 10 – If you have a propane camping stove, keep extra fuel handy. 9 – Hygiene bags: put packaged moistened towelettes, toilet paper, and plastic ties in large garbage bags (for personal sanitation) Resource list courtesy of Hood River County Emergency Management, Barbara Ayers, manager/ 541-386-1213. The county also reminds residents to Get a Kit, Make A Plan to connect your family if separated, and Stay Informed. See www.co.hood-river.or.us to opt-in for citizen alerts. Enlarge

Transaction Oracle — A Timely Look at Transactions as They Happen Thursday, May 21, 2009A's - Claimed BreslowOakland A's - Claimed P Craig Breslow off waivers from the Minnesota Twins. The Twins gave up on Breslow very quickly this season and while this is a good pickup by the A's, I don't want to give them too much credit as the team was 2nd in waiver-wire priority for Breslow and I'm sure they wouldn't be the only team interested in seeing if they can turn around a pre-arbitration lefty with a 2.91 career ERA in 98 games. Given that the A's don't currently have any lefties in the bullpen, perennial ZiPS-favorite Breslow should absolutely help the team, provided he can stop walking batters again. It won't make a huge difference unless the A's start scoring more often than Marty Brennaman at a swingers club.

I think the Twins would have kept him around to work out his problems but they have too many relievers who need to work out problems and their top option in AAA (Henn) was also lefthanded. If they would have had a decent RH bullpen arm in AAA they would have dumped Ayala or Crain. Easy come, easy go for the Twins since Breslow was a waiver pickup from Cleveland last year.

Posted: May 21, 2009 at 05:45 PM (#3187931)I would've dumped Ayala before Breslow, even without being able to replace him with another righty. I rather have 3 lefties in the bullpen than 2 lefties and Ayala. Ayala is actually slightly worse against righties for his career, so it's not like they'd be losing an additional tactical advantage against right-handed hitters.
Unless I'm missing something, I thought it was awfully foolish for the Twins to give up on Breslow after just 13 innings after being so good last year.

How to Blow Her Mind in Bed: The essential guide for any man who wants to satisfy his Woman
by Siski GreenWhen a man really knows what feels good to a woman ... he can give her the most electrifying sex she's ever had.
More than 70 percent of women don't reach orgasm from intercourse. The problem is that men don't know what sex feels like to a woman, and so they have a hard time a) reading her signals; b) giving her what she wants and needs; and c) making sure

I bought this to help spice up our sex life, but it did more than that, it helped me understand stuff I hadn't before. Like that a flat tongue is better for going down on her. I never knew that?! And we loved all the ideas for using props - frozen grapes is one our new favorites.
My daughter came home saying nasty things and she was acting like she was pregnant and she wa suspended from schoolits all ur faught

»Politics: A Personal Perspective
By Kevork KURDOGHLIAN
The California Democrats State Convention on Saturday, March 8 held at the Los Angeles Convention Center was my first political convention. I've been enthralled by politics since I was 7 years old, since my first journalism class at Paradise Canyon Elementary in the summer of 2002, yet it had taken me 12 years to get to a convention floor.
Admittedly I was quite lost. I thought I would be able to navigate the streets of downtown Los Angeles with ease. But this experience helped me discover that I have a short temper for traffic, one-way streets, cyclists and pedestrians and am easily distracted by bright flashing lights.
Luckily, I did know downtown L.A. well enough to have a rally point. In times of uncertainty, I go to The Original Pantry on the corner of Figueroa and 8th, because scrambled eggs, crisp bacon and hash potatoes are my definition of security. After some late night breakfast, I got directions and headed towards the action.
On Friday, March 7 at about 8 p.m. I finally found my way to the second floor of the Westin Bonaventure. To my dismay, it turns out nothing interesting happens on the first night at these conventions. Nonetheless, I spent about an hour glancing at the various booths, all occupied by traditionally Democratic favored groups from Planned Parenthood to the California Teachers Association.
Despite my haphazard first night, I was determined to bring my "A-game" on the main day. I checked in the following morning, received my press pass and hopped on a shuttle from the Westin to the Convention Center.
I was the second member of the press to enter the almost empty hall. Naturally I took a seat next to the only other member of the press present. He was a middle-aged gentleman, reserved, coffee in hand, typing away. I asked him which news agency he was from. He said Fox News.
This knowledge brought a smile to my face. I couldn't resist the temptation. I asked him if he was a registered Republican. He said, quite coldly, "No." And the conversation ended there.
Thankfully two other gentlemen, one reporter and one publisher from a newspaper in San Gabriel Valley, were more than willing to converse. I discovered that the reporter, a man in his early 60s, is a UCLA alumnus.
After exchanging some of our favorite John Wooden quotes, we got into a political conversation. He cracked jokes about the miserable state of the California Republican Party. I would laugh, but take note as well.
After all, as much as I didn't want to accept it, there is a great deal of truth in the Republican Party's weakness among minorities, women and millennials.
I witnessed some of these weaknesses on the various past campaigns I had volunteered for.
Finally, the program began. After opening remarks and other formalities from party officials, the speakers rolled out one after the other.
I took my place among the flock of photojournalists. We congregated stage right, at the point where the politician would first appear. We swarmed left, then right, and then left again, kneeling, bending forwards and backwards, ducking over and under one another, just to get the right shot, as we all followed the directions of the distinguished Democratic speakers.
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti was the first to speak.
"Democrats get things done," he repeated after nearly every one of the Democratic accomplishments he listed. (I'm proud to be able to say that I now have a selfie with the mayor.)
The second speaker, Minority Leader Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, listed many Democratic accomplishments, too, like the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. These steps she claimed were consistent with the convention's theme, which was "Renewing California by Advancing Our Values."
Next up was Houston Mayor Anisse Parker who, when elected in 2010, became the first lesbian to serve in that office.
She said of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender agenda, "We want to be able to go to school in safety. We want to be able to serve our country honorably. We want to work at jobs we love, so we can pay taxes to the country that sustains us. And we want to protect the relationships and families that nurture us."
The crowd of 2,000 delegates and volunteers broke out into cheers upon hearing this. She followed that up by addressing how Democrats get elected in red states.
"We get elected through ideas, energy and hard work," she said, noting that this would be how Democratic hopeful Wendy Davis would be elected the next governor of Texas.
Ultimately, though, the excitement on the floor was building for one man, Gov. Jerry Brown.
Brown, who is up for reelection to an unprecedented fourth term this year, addressed a whole range of issues. He touted accomplishments on immigration with the Dream Act, on healthcare with his embrace of the Affordable Care Act, and K-12 education, which was transformed this year by the Governor's Local Control Funding Formula.
"Keep stuff local and we can respond to it easier," he told the assembled. "We don't live in the state capitol, we live in each neighborhood."
At this point I had been so captivated by the speeches, delegates, lights, chants and all the activity that I was slightly more inclined to remain in this political setting rather than my own neighborhood.
I discovered a of couple days after the convention that I had missed out on the endorsing caucuses and the after party where the real politicking gets done. In other words, I missed out on the chance to get the juicy political gossip that is only spoken when a political official is sufficiently relaxed.
Despite this, the beauty of politics is that there will always be another convention, another election, and a constant raging river of political gossip to absorb the next time I find myself in a place similar to this.
Next week read about the Republican State Convention.

Malayali has returned to farming, with a vengeance but there is a difference. And this is no cash crops that they are cultivating. The net savvy Keralaite, who can trace a legacy of being landholders and farmers just two generations ago, is now fulfilling his urge to own land by logging on to FarmVille and have been acquiring livestock and acres of farmland.
For those of you who are not familiar with FarmVille it is a game that allows members of Face Book to manage a virtual farm by planting, growing and harvesting virtual crops and trees, and raising livestock.
Most guys and ladies in my office are hooked on to this new game. I, myself, feel so left out for I have not yet been tempted to buy a farm, although I long to buy a farm and start a sort of farm resort somewhere in Kerala in real life. So far it has remained only a dream for me while fellow Mallus have gone ahead and are fulfilling their urge at least in cyber space. Nor have I ever kept a cyber pet. Well I won't say I am not a victim of Face Book or Orkut, though. I am a member of both the social networking cite, and I have a couple of friends who I first met online and then in real life. Sorry Jeeva, I am hoping that you won't be reading this, for I am yet to meet her and her family, in real life. I digress. Should I or should I not test FarmVille is the question on my mind these days. Given the fact that I took have a rather feudal lineage, I am scared that I would get hooked on to this cyber life. I am happy blogging and tweeting. Maybe online farming or online love life is certainly not the thing for me.

For Sale By Owner
We're going to do this For Sale By Owner because, frankly, I can't stomach the thought of paying 6% commission on top of the 3% in taxes, seller's closing costs, etc. The odds aren't great: the experts say that only 20% of FSBO's successfully sell. Of course, those experts are also the ones hoping you'll cut them a 6% commission.... The market is pretty saturated around here, too. There are areas where it seems like every third house is up for sale.
The good news is that we have a great place that's only five years old and in excellent condition, in a nice area - so I think that as long as buyers find it, we'll have someone fall in love with it like we did. And that's where you come in, dear readers. If you know anybody in the PDX area who is in the market for a house (or could be for the right house), I'm asking you to send them the flyer below.
Now even if you're not in the market and don't know anybody who is, this is a great opportunity to snoop in my house, so I know you're going to visit the website listed on the flyer. I'll save you the work of typing it into the address bar! http://home.comcast.net/~sdweigel/. Happy stalking!
PS - Ward mentioned that the above flyer has no address. I wasn't going to make it that easy to stalk me. I will, however, mention that the house is in Vancouver, WA, about a 20 minute drive from the employee lot at PDX. The neighborhood is NE Hazel Dell. If you go to the website and click on Neighborhood Information, you'll see a nifty map of the area.
10 comments:
My wife and I visit Portland and other places in Oregon frequently, and we've considered moving to the area, but we're not looking right now.
A suggestion for the flyer would be to either include the address or at least to have a description of where the house is. Since the post mentions Portland, I spent a few minutes puzzling over the flyer thinking "that's odd, the 205 isn't that close to the I-5 anywhere in Portland, is it?" I finally pulled up Google maps and realized you're in Vancouver WA, and then I remembered seeing that mentioned before in your blog.
The last time we were in Portland, we stayed in Vancouver one night, and it's nice... almost as nice as the "real" Vancouver where we live now! :)
Good luck! - 3:24 AM
- Sam said...
Heh, this is an edited version of the flyer sans address. I wasn't going to make it that easy for internet stalkers! But you're right, I should at least mention where in Vancouver it is...
- Luke said...
I think I need to move out to your neck of the woods -- you can barely buy a studio for that here, much less a whole house (and a gorgeous one at that)!
Good luck! - 9:20 AM

Ouch, those taxes and dues! I think I'll stay here in good old, cheap, boring, arid desert Boise.

Wow -- nice. You could probably pick up a small parking space for $228K around here in the Bay Area :-).

Working FSBO has become quite popular nowadays. FSBO sites provide their users with easy search and many other services. Recently I ve come across one of such services ClimateWatch and found it rather useful. Climate watch allows homebuyers to check what the climate is like in another town or city all year round before they move there.

So how was the whole 'house for sale' experience? Did you get to sell your house right on time? Are you living in a house that is totally perfect for you right now? Selling your house full of wonderful memories can make you sad at times. But making memories in your new house can be a fun experience!
- Tom Pham said...
Of course it is always a dilemma figuring out if you should use a Real Estate agent to sell your house. Especially nowadays when you can publish your house for sale all over the Net for millions to see.

Hi all- I'm auditioning some mics this week, one of which is the Crowley & Tripp Studio Vocalist. I've also got a C&T Proscenium (a little too dark for my tastes) and a Naked Eye (interesting, but I'm thinking maybe the Studio Vocalist would cover the same ground and more...). The Studio Vocalist is winning so far for voice, but I'm curious if it's getting a lot of use out there for Drum OH's, Guitar amps, acoustics and other assorted duties. I've read through various threads and see little odds and ends of thoughts about it, but most people seem to be focusing on using it for vocals only. If you have one and could share some thoughts on it's other strengths I'd really appreciate it. Let me also add that I've had an AEA R84 for a while and am looking to have another ribbon around and something that does things a little differently... Thanks!
We { My Friends and I } have been useing the Studio Vocalist for over a year with the most amazing results . All of our customers choose it over our condenser Mics for Vocals . That mic is beyond great . In our world we record some vocals in an A/B/C/D type comparison and let the singer pick his/her mic from a blind audio playback and every time they have chosen the C&T Vocalist . Is there anything better than a happy customer ? I think not !! That mic sounds Soooooh Good !! As far as your comment on the Procenium sounding a little dark , I would like to say that there are some things that I have done in our studio where we really love and respect that mic . We try out different mic preamps to find the sound we are looking for. We try out preamps with different load values on the input and those with options to change the input . C&T mics like 1500 ohm loads as a rule. We have found that increaseing the load to 5K or higher gives us more head room on the high side . Also , on Vocals , We love Female vocals on the Procenium at 5k useing tube type preamps . But , thats just our thing . You will love the Studio Vocalist , it's very different , in a Great Way !

Bros to reform
Boy band Bros are to reform.
The 80s pop band - who are best known for their song 'When Will I Be Famous?' - are planning to do a one-off concert at London's O2 Arena.
Luke Goss - who was joined in the group by twin brother Matt and third member Craig Logan - said: "We want to do a show, somewhere like the O2, and then say, 'Thanks a lot, see ya!'
"If I can find a bunch of people - and Matt and I can see eye-to-eye with them on things we want to do - then, yes, we're doing it."
Luke, 41, is adamant the reunion will not be a permanent one.
He added: "We'd do a show that was amazing. I want it to stand up today. I don't want it to be a nostalgia-only driven thing."
Since the band split in 1992, Luke become an actor and has starred in several films including 'Blade II'.
Matt continued to release music and also appeared on UK reality TV show 'Hell's Kitchen', while Craig, who was once engaged to Dannii Minogue, is now the boss of a record label.
He left the band in 1989 and sued for unpaid royalties, later receiving £1 million.

Jonathan Blake had discovered that the men who ran the bank where he worked were laundering money for a massive crime organization. He'd chosen not to reenlist in the Green Berets twenty years ago because he no longer wanted the violence of war in his life, even though many said he was born for it. Now, he was surrounded by conspiracies of bribery, money laundering, drugs, and murder. The quiet life he'd built was destroyed, as these men came to kill him, his wife, and his ten-year-old son. He got his family out and away, but could be gentle no more. He had been left no choice.

Did C.C. tell him about him about her geass cancelling power? No, she kept it to herself and only used it when she had too to reawaken his memories. It was only after that happened did he know that she could. She seems to be playing things close to her chest.

and having the geass revealed would not erase the people's feelings as their would always be the lingering feeling hatred and mistrust. Hell, even if you proved the geass existence, some may refuse to believe that Euphie was under it's control saying that the whole "Geass thing" was nothing more than a false reason to excuse her actions (like anytime somebody does something bad, they say "they were under a geass" as a defence)... even zero admitting he did it would be received by many as "he is just trying to protect her" Quote:
the others being, putting her inside a bubble, or completely wiping her memory and giving a her new life with a new identity... though i doubt her father would do such... and beyond Lulu's power since his geass only works once... frankly, i think Lulu knew her character well enough that she would have cracked had she been "given the chance"... one thing she could not decide for herself is if she would want to ever face such an ordeal... hell, one of the many thoughts that might go through her head is that she wished she never had to face the ordeal in the first place speaking of possible memory wipe, one thing i'm wondering, for those who are very strongly against how Lulu dealt with Euphie, what do you think about how he dealt with Shirley? rewriting her memory to help her bear the pain of her father's loss and undo everything she knew about Lelouche was not that much different than Lulu killing Euphie... "the easy way out" of not allowing her to face the ordeal of dealing with all this herself even though she was becoming rather unhinged at the time... and not giving her a choice in the matter... and yet, the result was her being able to live a normal and happy life... I know i find some comfort in her ignorance... i do like seeing her able to live a happy normal life and not one filled with grief... i've even been wondering if Lulu will give the same to Nina (that girl is nuts). doesn't need to erase her love for Euphie, just make it so that she can cope with it in a healthy way Giving people the turth so they can make their own choices in life is great but it comes with serious baggage... Sometimes, you are better off not knowing... Sometimes, even the truth, can be far more cruel than death. Quote:
though if we what to meta-think using stuff that LL didn't know, we could also wonder about if canceling the geass would have allowed her to remember what was going on while she was under the geass... which would have been even worse, |

I disagree with you all.
Join Date: Dec 2005
Your argument is basically that if you think someone's going to face too much pain, it's ok to kill them. You don't even have to ask if they want to be end their lives or anything, you just kill them. "Oh, dear, you're going to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair? *bang*" "You're disfigured for life? *bang*" "You girlfriend left you? *bang*". Suffice it to say, I disagree with that feeling. Everyday, people face great trials. Sometimes, they overcome them and get on with their lives, scars and all. Unless some self-righteous prick shoots them, I suppose. Quote:
Even so... Just look at his own reaction at Charles' manipulations. Not "hey, cool, I can have a carefree student life" or even "well, at least my friends are well out of it", but "I'm going to kill him for what he did". Quote:

Have you seen Lelouch sleep at night yet since the Euphie incident? Anime's usualy don't show the bags under the eyes of characters unless it's an important plot point or it is an important character trait. I wouldn't be surprised if he was really an insomniac.

What's with the arguement that Lelouch killing Ephie was the easy way out? It was in fact the only way out. It wasn't a matter of Euphie dealing with what she did. It was a matter of how she was geassed to kill all the Japanese so she wouldn't have stopped killing them. It was either kill her or allow her to attempt to kill everyone who had even a hint of Japanese blood in them.
He didn't kill her to help her, he killed her to save the Japanese people. |
