Schumer: Dems Will 'Do Whatever We Can' to Reverse Trans Rollback
by Chris Johnson, Washington Blade
Originally printed 3/1/2017 (Issue 2508 - Between The Lines News)
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) was bold Tuesday in declaring opposition to the Trump administration's rollback of guidance prohibiting discrimination against transgender kids, but kept his cards close to his vest on his plan to address the reversal.
Schumer made the remarks during his weekly news conference on Capitol Hill in response to a question from the Washington Blade on when Senate Democrats intend to respond to President Trump's revocation of the Obama-era guidance.
"I have said, look, American has had a long march to equality," Schumer said. "There have been bumps in the road, but it's been pretty inexorable, and this is a significant turn backward and we will do whatever we can to get him to reverse it."
Asked whether legislation or friend-of-the-court briefs on the issue would be forthcoming, Schumer said succinctly, "Stay tuned."
The guidance barred schools from discriminating against transgender kids or denying them access to the bathroom consistent with their gender identity, but the Justice and Education Departments rescinded it last week on the basis that transgender rights -- which many consider the civil rights issue of the day -- are best left to the states, not the federal government.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) struck a contrast with Schumer and expressed views similar to the administration's when asked by the Washington Blade for reaction to the Trump administration's transgender rollback.
"That's obviously going to be handled at the state level," McConnell said. "The states are perfectly competent to deal with that issue."
With Democrats in the minority in both chambers of Congress, they have few options for action to compel the Trump administration to reverse course on the guidance, although the introduction of legislation could serve as a symbolic stand against the move.
One possible legislative response is the introduction of the Equality Act, comprehensive legislation barring anti-LGBT discrimination in areas such as employment, public accommodations and education. But the legislation isn't yet introduced this Congress. Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) and Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), who in the past were lead sponsors of the bill, haven't respond to the Washington Blade's requests to comment on timing for introduction.
Meanwhile, friend-of-the-court briefs are due Thursday in the case before the U.S. Supreme Court in favor of Gavin Grimm, the transgender student suing his Virginia school to use the restroom consistent with his gender identity. A bipartisan, bicameral brief led by Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.) and Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) and Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) urging the court to rule for Gavin is circulating in Congress in preparation for that deadline, a source familiar the brief said.Chris Johnson is Chief Political & White House Reporter for the Washington Blade. Johnson attends the daily White House press briefings and is a member of the White House Correspondents' Association.This article originally appeared in the Washington Blade and is made available in partnership with the National Media Association.

Monitoring and evaluating the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP)
The purpose of this project is to monitor and evaluate implementation of the State Child Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). To conduct this study, the Foundation will support the health portion of the National Survey of America's Families (NSAF). NSAF is a valuable survey which collects a wide breadth of family information, including that on health, access, and insurance. It oversamples low-income families and allows for estimates for 13 states and the nation. Evaluation of SCHIP will take two approaches. First, the researchers will conduct case studies to assess the design and adoption of SCHIP by states. Second, the researchers will use a quasi-experimental design with pre/postcontrols based on survey data. The survey data is from NSAF supplemented by the National Health Interview Survey. Findings will be disseminated in project reports, Urban Institute Occasional Papers, articles in professional journals, and on a Web site.

OCEAN CITY – As part of the National Distracted Driving Enforcement Campaign, the Ocean City Police Department will begin cracking down on drivers caught texting or talking on hand-held cell phones, starting today.
The "UDrive, UText, UPay" campaign, which runs through April 21, seeks to reduce the number of fatalities and injuries caused by distracted drivers. The New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety, which is funding the $300,000 state campaign, estimates thousands of people are killed and nearly half a million are injured in distracted driving crashes.
Texting and using a hand-held cell phone is illegal in New Jersey. Despite that fact, 72 percent of respondents to a 2013 survey conducted by the FDU PublicMind Poll for the Division of Highway Traffic Safety said they "very often" see people driving and talking on hand-held cell phones, and 40 percent of respondents said they "very often" see drivers texting.
In New Jersey, 60 police departments received $5,000 each to pay for increased patrols and checkpoints to support the campaign. Egg Harbor and Galloway townships in Atlantic County are among those also participating in the state-funded program.
The fine for violating the state's cell phone law is $100 plus court costs and fees. On July 1, that penalty will increase to $200 to $400 for a first offense and up to $800 for subsequent offenses.

text: (CNN) -- A Seattle-area couple is in custody for allegedly holding captive and torturing the man's 13-year-old brother for three months -- including driving a nail through the boy's hand and keeping him in a cellar for days without food, the prosecutor said Wednesday. Brandon Gunn, 27, and his wife Viviana, 34, are in the Kitsap County Jail outside Seattle on $500,000 bail each, charged with kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment and four counts of assault, county prosecutor Cami Lewis said. Brandon's brother is from Atlanta and went in May to stay with his brother for the summer, Kitsap County Deputy Sheriff Scott Wilson said. "We've been crying for days," the teen's aunt, Marsha Thomas-Jones, told CNN Atlanta affiliate WSB. "My sister is devastated." The alleged torture began as early as May 1 and lasted until the teenager escaped from his brother's cellar two weeks ago, according to the prosecutor's complaint, filed Tuesday. Thomas-Jones said the family suspected something was wrong months ago when communication ceased, and it tried unsuccessfully to get law enforcement involved early, WSB reported. http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/28/justice/washington-torture-case/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

Darius was a proposed character for the He-Man toyline.
He would have been the leader of the Galactic Council, and He-Man's mentor/closest ally in Primus. When the animated series The New Adventures of He-Man began, this role was taken by Master Sebrian. Despite the figure being already planned and even a prototype was made, Sebrian's role was exactly the one Darius would have had, so the figure was discarded. However, Darius managed to appear in some comic book stories by Ehapa.

Space Marine and Terminator Armor
For those of you not familiar with the Warhammer 40k miniatures wargaming, Space Marines are augmented soldiers dedicated to fighting for the Emperor and mankind.
Space Marine miniatures are particularly cool because they allow for heavy customization, such that you can basically invent your own Space Marine "chapter", with their own unique colours and markings. There's even a twisted variety called chaos marines, for those with more evil inclinations ("The Angels of Ecstasy" are legitimate pink-suited chaos marines). The bulky suits therefore present the perfect opportunity for some rather imposing costumes, such as these:
But we're not just talking about the regular old Space Marines; we're talking about the elite Terminators – huge bipedal tanks that have earned the right to wear the heaviest of powered armour and carry the biggest guns. Made by Daniel Høgh and Justina Šniukštait?, the rather terrifying monstrosity featured below is an Imperial Fists Terminator Captain. If you start now, you might have one finished in time for Halloween 2027.

Regardless of the rather weak plot, there's no denying the costumes were iconic – and you can't go wrong with a skintight rubber catsuit combined with glowing EL panels for that authentic Tron Legacy look. Adafruit has an extensive set of guides for working with tricky electroluminescence material. Be warned – soldering is required!
For constructing your costume, here's a great tutorial video from Camrin William.
If the thought of stitching EL-wire isn't your cup of tea, Artifice Clothing has a line of "Tron inspired" items, but you'll need to be under UV/black light to get the full effect.

Blast From The Past: Retro-Futurism
Pop culture portrayal of the future as seen from the 70's was generally all about copious amount of spandex, bubble helmets, anything plastic, and holographic material.

For DIY moms, there's also some great sewing patterns for the quintessential spaceman costume!

Ratings for Dr. Ryan Carter
I've been to 4 different chiropractors with poor results till i found Dr Carter and finally after 2 years of not being unable to put any weight on my one leg I now after he promised in 5 to 6 treatments I now am better. He is an awesome Dr. takes plenty of time to explain what he will do for you and very friendly Clean and comfortable office . Lori is great ...so welcoming. B Carlson
I have been seeing Dr. Carter for a couple of years now and find him helpful and knowledgeable. Laurie the receptionist is one of the nicest friendliest person I have ever had the pleasure of meeting
My husband, myself, and my three girls have been going to Ryan for over 15 years. We have found Ryan to be incredibly knowledgeable in the "root cause" of pain. He has worked with our sore backs, rotator cuff injures, whiplash, stiff necks, migraines, chest pains and more over the years, and every time, after one or more treatments we have walked away feeling significantly better (and often it doesn't come back). Ryan has amazing doctoring skills- he listens, explains and instructs simply and clearly. We moved to the other side of the city about 10 years ago and still make the hour long trip whenever we need a chiropractor- it is well worth the drive!!! Thank you Ryan!
Great clinic - starts with Laurie, who is always friendly and ready to accommodate. Daniel, the massage therapist is great - he really listens to what you need and want. Can't say enough good things about Dr. Carter. He is friendly, concerned, and an excellent chiropracter. He spends his time trying to help rather than pushing additional and regular treatments.
Always good and helpful. Even willing to help my wheelchair bound brother which other chiropractors refused to help.
Very happy with Dr. Carter. Receptionist, Laurie, is the best I've ever encountered!!!
I've gone here for a few years and until recently, I was happy. I recently had a treatment that left me in pain. I almost went right back but thought it might go away so left it until the next day. When I called the following day to say I was in pain, they got me in that day. I was re-adjusted and charged another $40 which I thought was unreasonable given that the original treatment the day before had left me in pain. They have great staff and Ryan is good. I just don't think I should have been charged an extra $40 for having to come back.
Dr Carter knows his stuff. i have always had success on any adjustments he has made.
Dr carter has been treating me over a period of +10 years. His knowledge and patient caring are exemplary. Even though ain brings me to his clinic, I leave with relief and inspiration from this extremely interesting and professional doctor.
Carefull and receptive very nice man, interested in prevention, very helpfull with expercises, streching ect. but when I can't work it out myself, he's always there, very accessible, highly recommended.

Yasmin is a birth control pill which prevents ovulation and alters the uterine lining to make it more difficult for sperm to reach the uterus. Some women claim that Yasmin is effective not only as an oral contraceptive, but also as a weight loss pill. According to CBS medical correspondent Dr. Emily Senayone, a research team monitored by the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology found that more than half of their 300 female subjects lost an average of two pounds after six months of taking Yasmin.
If you intend to use Yasmin as a weight-loss tool as well as a birth control pill, you should first speak with your doctor. Always consult a medical professional before adding a body-altering drug like Yasmin to your health regimen. Yasmin is 3.0 mg of the progestin drospirenone and 0.030 mg of the estrogen ethinyl estradiol in pill form. Take one pill daily at the same time each day. If weight loss is one of your goals for Yasmin, it is best to take your pill right after your last meal of the day. Taking Yasmin after eating increases the likelihood of weight loss.
Although Yasmin is highly effective as a birth control pill, it is not reliable as a weight-loss tool. One of Yasmin's active ingredients, drospirenone, is a diuretic which decreases bloating and water retention. As a result, the majority of women lose excess water weight while taking Yasmin. However, it is important to keep in mind that some women actually gain weight while taking Yasmin because it also contains the counterproductive weight-retaining hormone estrogen. Depending on whether your body responds more strongly to the drospirenone or estrogen, you will likely experience either minor weight loss or weight gain while taking Yasmin.
The estrogen and progestin in Yasmin alter the body's normal regulation of salt and water, which can result in weight loss or weight gain. The alteration of salt and water regulation in the body by Yasmin can also cause serious side effects. Yasmin has been linked to an increased risk for heart attack, stroke and thrombosis.

About the Book
From August, 16th to August 30th 2013, I will be holding my first ever photography exhibition at the Galerie Denzelt in Echternach (Luxembourg).
Wether you like landscapes, cityscapes, nature or urban exploration, there's sure to be something for you among these 40 hand-selected photos I shot over the past year.
This is the official exhibition companion book.
Features & Details
- Category Fine Art
Standard Portrait, 7.75×9.75 in, 20×25 cm
30 Pages
- Publish Date Jul 20, 2013
About the Creator
Husband, father, shutterbug, geek, collector, addicted to movies, music and comics, maintaining a keen interest in all things digital at the same time as nurturing a profound respect for beautifully designed and crafted items, Oli is also known to enjoy fine dining and appreciate the occasional uisge beatha. Born in 1979 in Luxembourg, he has always been more or less interested in photography, but his passion really sparked for the first time with the release of the Sony Alpha 100, which replaced the excellent Sony DSC F-717 he previously owned. Getting an iPhone4 a couple of years later and enjoying the possibility to happily snap away without lugging a huge body around definitely sealed the deal. Although his wife wasn't too pleased at first, subsequent camera purchases were a necessity (Thanks, honey! :-) ).

Jacksonville Bancorp Technical Analysis (NASDAQ:JAXB)
Technical analysis relies on the belief that future price movements of a stock can be forecasted through the study of historical market data and technical charts. A JAXB stock chart pattern can give those who understand technical analysis an indication of which way JAXB stock is headed, but cannot predict with 100% certainty as to what can happen to the Jacksonville Bancorp stock price.
View technical indicators like moving averages (SMA and EMA), and bollinger bands for Jacksonville Bancorp. Technical analysis essentially tries to study the supply and demand for a particular security and determine the stock trends for that security. Chartists use stock price movements for this form of Jacksonville Bancorp stock analysis.
Jacksonville Bancorp Moving Average:
Moving averages show the average price of JAXB stock over a set time period and help traders see the overall trend by smoothening out the daily variation in price movement. The 20 day moving average of $16.04 is below the last closing price of $16.45 and the 50 day moving average of $16.5 is above the $16.45 price. The 10 and 20 day periods can predict short term moving average trends.
Jacksonville Bancorp Bollinger Bands:
Bollinger bands comprise of a center line usually JAXB SMA, and two JAXB stock price bands above and below it. The stock is considered over brought when the price starts moving closer towards the upper band, and is considered oversold as stock price moves closer towards the lower band. Currently the stock price of $16.45 is in the upper range of Jacksonville Bancorp bollinger bands.
Jacksonville Bancorp Moving Average Convergence Divergence or MACD:
The moving average convergence divergence or MACD is a technical indicator which helps assess the stock price trend. Traders usually wait for a confirmed crossover signal before entering into a trading position. Divergence implies that the current stock price trend could come to an end, when the stock price diverges from MACD. The Jacksonville Bancorp MACD line is below the signal line.
Jacksonville Bancorp Relative Strength Index:
The relative strength index compares the magnitude of recent gains to recent losses and is a momentum indicator. It attempts to assess overbought and oversold conditions of a stock. If the RSI of JAXB stock goes above 70 it could indicate an overbought condition, and if it goes below 30 it could signal an oversold position. .

I am thinking about getting a juicer but I read that it's actually healthier to just eat they fruit or veggie whole. Thoughts?
No announcement yet.
What's your thoughts on using juicers with eating primal?
new posts
I don't see an issue with juicing...as long as you use a cold press juicer.
The only thing you're losing is the fiber from the whole fruit/veggie.
But since its in a liquid state, your body can quickly absorb the nutrients versus having to break it down...but then again...the breakdown part does use up calories to do the breakdown....
so..whatever you want to do...depending on your goals.Primal (2013)
Locavore (locally grown foods when possible)
Training consists of Muay Thai, BJJ, weight training, and mountain biking
Would like to be in good shape by my 36th Birthday (07-07-2013)
The issues are High GI rating because as juice it is basically sugar solution and often because there is no work involved also high GL, when the juice craze hit, many people wondered why they were putting on weight until they calculated the calories they were consuming.
Personally just another pointless toy in the kitchen IMO."There are no short cuts to enlightenment, the journey is the destination, you have to walk this path alone"
I juice kale, cucumber, celery and half an apple as often as I can for my morning drink. I find it far more invigorating and pleasant than coffee. My holistic assessor fwiw thinks that will offset the acidity from meat (not that I care). I think green juice like that is better than tea or coffee tbh.
My kid and my husband would drink box juices, so I find it better if they drink freshly squeezed fruit juice from organic fruit instead. It's less than a cup each and they like it with their breakfast.
Primal lifestyle might not accommodate juices, but simple 'trying do your best while still enjoying life' lifestyle may.My Journal: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread57916.html
When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
I've never been a juice drinker but I honestly could not be bothered with a juicer because I hear that they are a bitch to clean. If I want loads of fruits and veggies in a quick, drinkable format, I just do a smoothie (to which I can add protein powder or a fat), or the gazpacho recipe on MDA. I loooooove that gazpacho. I could eat the whole yield in one day all by myself.
Originally posted by unchatenfrance View PostIf I want loads of fruits and veggies in a quick, drinkable format, I just do a smoothie (to which I can add protein powder or a fat), or the gazpacho recipe on MDA.
I make smoothies a few times a week, using coconut milk + water + frozen berries + at least a cup of veggies (usually spinach or cucumber) + optional stuff (whey protein powder, egg whites, vanilla extract, cinnamon, cocoa, coconut flakes, nuts, seeds, nut butters, etc.)>> Current Stats: 90% Primal / 143 lbs / ~25% BF
>> Goal (by 1 Jan 2014): 90% Primal / 135-ish pounds / 20-22% BF

Weight does NOT equal health -- ditch the scale, don't be a slave to it!
I do smoothies a few times a week. I normally do kale or spinach with some berries, coconut/almond milk, and a half a banana."If man made it, don't eat it" - Jack Lallane
People say I am on a "crazy" diet. What is so crazy about eating veggies, fruits, seafood and organ meats? Just because I don't eat whole wheat and processed food doesn't make my diet "crazy". Maybe everyone else with a SAD are the "crazy" ones for putting that junk in their system.
I started juicing a lot while eating a low fiber diet to heal my IBS...healed the IBS, didn't gain any fat. Win-win.
Originally posted by Omni View PostThe issues are High GI rating because as juice it is basically sugar solution and often because there is no work involved also high GL, when the juice craze hit, many people wondered why they were putting on weight.
A 12oz glass of orange juice is 40g of carbs, of which 80% are from sugar. It's an easy way to spike your blood sugar and get fat.
If you are juicing add some pulp back in. It will help with blood sugar spikes. But really... I recommend doing smoothies instead. Good fiber and using the whole thing. I get in SO many veggies doing green smoothies with avocado, spinach, zucchini, cucumbers, ginger root, herbs (cilantro, basil, parsley if savory, a lot of fresh mint if sweet). You can add coconut water and some fruit to make a sweet green drink. Plus there is a lot of room for healing spices like cinnamon for inflammation, turmeric, cayanne, etc.

NBCUniversal doubles investment in BuzzFeed
NBCUNIVERSAL is doubling its investment in BuzzFeed, pumping another US$200 million into the internet media company.
"NBCUniversal made an additional $200 million investment to expand the strategic partnership," the companies said in a joint release.
The deepened alliance will centre heavily on extending an advertising sales relationship between BuzzFeed and NBCUniversal, which is owned by US cable colossus Comcast.
Comcast invested an initial $200 million in BuzzFeed last year.
NBCUniversal and BuzzFeed have partnered on initiatives including the 2016 Rio Olympics on Snapchat and selling advertising.
"BuzzFeed has helped us engage millennial audiences with our content and extend the reach of our clients' campaigns to new platforms," NBCUniversal president of digital experiences Maggie Suniewick said in the release.
BuzzFeed founder and chief executive Jonah Peretti maintained the investment would allow the New York City based company to remain an independent operation, but give it access to NBCUniversal resources.
The infusion of money will also build up BuzzFeed's food focused Tasty media network and create ad products, the companies said.
Founded in 2006, BuzzFeed has built itself into a well-known media and entertainment company. –

More details have been released about the new, mid-priced, mobile phone from Samsung, the U650 Sway.
The handset, which is initially presented in a silver finish, provides a reasonably sized screen spanning 2.2in. A built in camera is reported to be included but the specification is a none too impressive 2MP. The camera does arrive with a NightShot facility, however.

Thanks to state budget cuts, Louisiana's welcome mat has just gotten smaller.
Although Louisiana's economy depends heavily on tourism, the state budget recently approved by the Legislature and the governor has meant significant cutbacks for the state's museums and historic sites. Beginning Aug. 1, historic sites across the state no longer will be open on Mondays and Tuesdays. State money once budgeted for maintenance and repair of state parks will now be used to operate the parks. State parks and historic sites are operated by the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism, which is overseen by Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne.
Meanwhile, a system of museums administered by Secretary of State Tom Schedler also is tightening its belt. Visiting hours at many of those museums also will be reduced.
Reduced access to any of our state's cultural attractions is regrettable. In spite of these budget austerities, we hope state historic properties will be properly maintained. State government has a special obligation to be a prudent steward of these properties so they will survive intact for future generations.
We hope the budget challenges facing state museums and historic sites prompt some deep reflection among the state officials who operate these sites. Even before the latest budget cuts, historic sites here and across the country faced challenges in attracting patrons. These sites must be curated and promoted in a way that makes them relevant to more tourists.
With resources so scarce, should state government have two sets of museums ? one administered by the lieutenant governor, the other overseen by the secretary of state? This arrangement was inspired more by political expedience than efficiency, yet the status quo endures.
We also must wonder how much thought was given to the long-term funding needs of some of these museums before they were constructed. Many of the smaller museums around the state have relatively low attendance. What's their long-term viability, even after the state budget climate improves?
We hope these questions are being asked among those who manage these institutions. They also should be asked of all the candidates in the upcoming races for lieutenant governor and secretary of state.

It depends. For some people it's personal, and for some others it's a lot more general (whether or not the ending fits with the atmosphere and developments of the story). Of course, there's the whole idealism vs. realism (it's long, but it's definitely worth a read!) debate, which I'd rather not get into.

Back on topic,
I, for one, think it's very interesting that the ending of this show has sparked a rather spirited debate over the merits of said ending. This tells me that the show was successful in making people care about the show one way or another. Well done!

Part of it, of course, is the whole "manga/light novels are still ongoing" problem, where there's no fixed ending available and the writers just stop at a certain point instead of making up an end. Then, of course, there's the plain fact that if characters A and B hook up, then the fans of pairings AC, AD, AE, and the dark-horse yuri or yaoi BE will theoretically be disappointed and stop buying the merch, which is diametrically opposed to what production companies want. See K-ON! for a perfect example of that one in action.
Lastly, there seems to be a distinct affection on the part of anime writers for not tying up loose ends. So even in a series which has a definitive "ending," there will still be bits and pieces left over. One would have to be a student of Japanese literature--which I'm not--to tell if that's a cultural trait or just a coincidence, but ambiguity always seems embedded in even things with reasonably definitive endings (Revolutionary Girl Utena, anyone? Or Future Diary, which actually made its ending more ambiguous than the manga for no apparent reason.).
But yes, the trope Status Quo is God has its claws sunk deeply into anime. In this case, with regard to Dusk Maiden of Amnesia, while I cheer for the happy ending we got, I would have much preferred a bittersweet ending that settled things to an ambiguous ending that left stuff just hanging out there!

Ah, yes. The good side to those types of endings is that the stories may receive a continuation in the form of another season or a series of OVAs. Oh, that's a good point about A & B hooking up; it's something that I never really considered. But then again, each genre has it's own type of fans, and certain fans tend to be less likely to stop supporting shows if, say, they don't see their two favourite characters get together. Of course, this could also have the opposite effect a la Mashiro-iro Symphony, where the viewers buy the V/N so that they can see their two favourite characters fall in love with each other.
Mhm, I've noticed. It could by anything from the writers being inept at their jobs to there being a lack of funds to have one episode to tie up those loose ends, if possible.
The last part of you post confuses me a bit. You say you liked the happy ending, and that you would've prefer a bittersweet ending over an ambiguous one; does that mean you thought the happy one we got was ambiguous?

Fortune Arterial is tricky like any other VN made into Anime simply because of the multiple routes. When a manga or LN are adapted to anime you only have one plot to follow and then at the end if the number of episodes is too short or the manga hasn't finished yet you can come up with an ending based on the plot so far.
When it comes to VNs you usually have two types:
1- The VN with multiple routes and a single True route;
2- The VN with multiple routes and no True route;
Sure when dealing with Type 1 you can go by simply following the true route as if it were a manga/LN but then get ready for the enraged fans of the neglected girls. The true route's final girl is often NOT the most popular girl and the thing about VNs is that it a more personal and direct experience than reading a manga, meaning you have a bigger connection with a certain girl and seeing her get thrown into the background pisses off more people than you'd like. In this case, some studios decide to keep the ending somewhat vague, not really resolving anything completely aside from the big evil or antagonist or whatever.
With Type 2 have multiple options. You can do it like Majikoi and make up your own plot altogether, follow the common route and then make up a new ending or follow one route as if it were the true route (usually picking the most popular).
Fortune Arterial was a Type 1, meaning it had a True Route.

Well, I don't want to get too far off-topic into analysing the endings of other shows, but briefly put the main issue I had with the Fortune Arterial anime ending was:
Spoiler for Fortune Arterial anime ending:
Here, I would suppose that it's probably two things: 1) they didn't want the anime's ending to be too depressing (particularly since Teiichi is so young to suffer such a hard fate -- he might then die with regrets!) and 2) the manga isn't over and there's still a 13th bonus episode of this anime to come. (And who knows -- there could be more still, if the show ends up posting decent results.)

Tasogare Otome x Amnesia. My Thoughts
To tell you all the truth I didn't cover this show back at the start of this about-to-end season. I recall back then that I made up my mind about which shows I chose to watch in the spring season.
It was probably at the end of April that I happened to come across with this series that got blogged at Divine's Randomc.net
The screenshots for episodes three and four intrigued me alot due to the animation strongly reminding me of the animated works by SHAFT, and it wasn't until the fifth episode got blogged that it hooked me up to watch immediately this anime, starting from episode five to backwards into the start.
To be honest, the moment I heard for the first time the OP theme song I was blown away quite metaphorically, because it was not only so beautiful but so powerfully good that I said to myself that Another should had featured an opening song like CHOIR JAIL
Along the way, I learned that actually SILVER LINK was and is the studio responsible for delivering such haunting but beautifully epic animation, because the way how Yuuko got animated was not only pleasant to me but also mesmerizing.
Her most prominent features that captivated me watching her on sight were how neatly they animated all of her face- her cheeks, the outline of her eye sockets, the bright of her eyes, her gaze, her mouth, her lips- and finally her long, windy hair.
Too bad that since in the last episode Yuuko got all of her memories back along with her true personality, then we won't be seeing her again in her sensual mode seducing Teiichi so sexy like she did in the first five episodes.
Regarding the episodes itself, I stand up dividing the storyline in two arcs:
- One is the mellow arc (episodes 1 - 5)
- The other the Shadow Yuuko arc (episodes 6 - 12)
The first arc chronicles Yuukos' antics along with the rest of the Paranormal Research Club finding out about the history of school's Seven Mysteries to which all of them somehow revolve around Yuuko.
As the name implies, the episodes played during that arc were very comical and light-hearted in tone, specially if you saw the fourth one about the pool scene. However, Shadow Yuuko roamed around those episodes to remind the audience that not everything was well and light within the plot.
That brewing omen became the main focus of attention in the Shadow Yuuko arc when Teiichi started to become deeply involved with the mystery behind Yuuko's death and dissappearance of her memories.
As most people know, this show can be said to be a supernatural romance delivering horror elements, but the horror featured is delivered either as to how other people aside from Keiichi imagine to see how Yuuko looks like a stereotypical portrayal of an undead spirit, or the horror comes from the very stupidity found in human nature which both episodes six and ten ghastly showed it to the audience, as prominent examples.
In life Yuuko was a prime example of a selfless human willing to help others, and I sobbed watching the circumstances leading to her death. That's because what they did to her was unfair, uncalled for, and stupid. I mean I cannot even imagine how would person feel if he or she is thrown into a deep well, a deep basement, or a deep cavern with no possible way to escape. Add that the victim found under that despairing and desolate place gets injured and can only wait days after days alone in the dark waiting for death either through starvation or lack of oxygen.
Yuuko as a human lost it like anyone else in her position would have acted, but she was able to restrain herself at the last minute before dying from hating and cursing Asa, because she didn't wish to blame Asa as the cause of her doomed fate.
Believe that I cried profound watching the events that led to her death, and I cried in joy during the eleventh episode when Teichii confessed to the Shadow Yuuko that he loved both of them triggering the miracle that enable both Yuukos to merge into one at last, and thus clearing her regrets at that time.
As for the finale, I won't join the discussion, since I see that there are lots and lots of people more knowledgeable than me about the subject, and it's more fun for me to sit and read all of your posts.
But, what I can say about the ending was that I cried along with Teiichi when Yuuko came back.
To conclude Tasogare Otome x Amnesia was a show that I originally didn't intend to watch, but I was won over after reading about it from a blog.
First, it won me over with its animation style centered around Yuuko, and it immediately won the rest of me with its constructed plot, and 3D-believable characters.
After Yuuko, Kyrie's definitely my second favorite character from the main cast, and I didn't have to wait to learn that she was a relation to Yuuko due to noticing that both sport some physical semblances, specially if I looked at their faces holding similar features; from the mellow arc, the fifth episode is my favorite centering mostly on Kyrie.
So, basically this was the second show of the spring 2012 season that I concluded, and I will definitely rewatch it for the Halloween season.

I don't know if you can say that there is a "ghost story" clichè since there are so few shows of this kind. Off the top of my head I can only name AnoHana, which indeed ended with a disappearance. There are ghost characters in other shows like Ghost Sweeper Mikami, Negima, ToLoveRu, Bakemonogatari but they are mostly seconday characters.

The disappearance scene was so touching, such a great song in the background and then that Goodbye Yuko on the notebook. Simply perfect. A truly memorial moment for the anime history, and then crushed with that ridiculous, coward last move.
Never felt a Kancho, but I'm sure it's pretty similar to what I felt watching the last minutes of this last episode.

The Dorset Walk – Sturminster Marshall & White Mill
Teresa Rabbetts in a short village wall with a scenic extension
Published in October '15
To dismiss Sturminster Marshall, as Richard Ollard does in his County History Guide to Dorset when he advises a route to 'skirt the village of Sturminster, which does not live up to the euphony of its name', is to do an injustice to this vibrant community.
In 1101 the village was owned by the de Clare family who were Earls of Pembroke, King Henry I allowed the Earl of Pembroke to hold a market and fair on the Market Green – two village greens remain in the village centre to this day. The name Marshall relates to William Marshall, who married into the de Clare family and inherited the estate, he was a trusted and faithful supporter of King John and one of the witnesses to Magna Carta. Sturminster means 'large church on the river Stour'; the village was once a Royal Peculiar meaning that the parish came directly under the jurisdiction of the monarch. From the Saxon era many large minster churches were established and the spiritual welfare of the population of a sizeable area surrounding these churches was administered by groups of priests. Until 1857 the parish of Sturminster Marshall included the chapelries of Corfe Mullen, Lytchett Minster and Hamworthy.
Standing on what is believed to be a Saxon site is the Church of St Mary the Virgin. The church forms the focal point of the village along with the thatched row of Church Cottages and the pub. The Church of St Mary has Norman origins although it was inevitably altered during the 19th century. One alteration was born out of necessity: the church tower fell down in 1802 and a mock medieval tower was built in 1805 and then, due to the poor state of the entire building, extensive restoration was carried out in 1859. The boundary of the churchyard is separated from the road by a listed 17th-century heath-stone wall topped by distinctive limestone caps and in the churchyard can be found two 14th-century crosses and a table tomb.
One of the most attractive features of Sturminster Marshall is its green openness. The two triangular village greens, known as Market Place, are surrounded by some of the older buildings and large oak and chestnut trees. On the eastern green is situated the Maypole surrounded by a circular iron seat and capped with a water rat weather vane, the emblem of the village, while the western green has replica village stocks.
In 1799 William Mackrell of Spetisbury founded the Mackrell Charity to provide a school and two teachers. There was no entitlement to an education at that time and so his charity was an extremely generous act for the time. As education become a legal requirement the need for William Mackrell's charity receded until in 1993 the Mackrell Charity was re-started with the aim of providing mostly educationally based activities for the village of Sturminster Marshall and the surrounding area. The Charity has developed and now promotes a varied programme of lifelong learning opportunities and cultural activities to enrich the community. They have also been responsible for creating the Sturminster Marshall Village History website in partnership with the Parish Council and have developed and catalogued a wonderful collection of photographs, documents and memorabilia available to all for easy access and sharing.
Although agriculture was the predominant activity in the community, life began to change when the railway came to the village. Opened in 1860 the station was originally known as Sturminster Marshall but, to avoid confusion when the station at Sturminster Newton was opened in 1863, they renamed Sturminster Marshall as Bailey Gate, after a nearby feature on a turnpike road. The principal purpose of Bailey Gate was not so much for passengers but for freight connections to serve the milk and cheese plant which was situated behind the station. At one point the factory was reputed to be the largest producer of Cheddar cheese in the country and even had its own siding for a milk train. Although Bailey Gate closed to passengers in 1966, the milk train continued until 1969 and the milk factory closed in 1978.
Not to be missed are nearby White Mill and the famous White Mill Bridge over the Stour, a stone's throw away from Sturminster Marshall in the adjoining parish of Shapwick. Although there is no certainty to the age of White Mill Bridge, there are references to a bridge at the site adjacent to White Mill dating back to 1175, although the current bridge probably dates from the sixteenth century with evidence of numerous repairs over its lifetime. It is a beautiful structure of eight semicircular stone arches with piers that are protected by cutwaters which also provide a step-in/passing-place for pedestrians; the structure was unusually wide for a rural medieval bridge with parapets 12 feet apart.
Nearby White Mill, part of the Kingston Lacy estate, is a former watermill that was last rebuilt in 1776 and in use until the end of the 19th century. It is likely that a mill has been on this site since at least the 14th century with references to Wytemull in historic documents dating from 1341. Unusually, whereas most geared wheels seen today are cast-iron, White Mill contains all wooden machinery which would tear out if the machinery jammed and could be relatively easily replaced. Although too fragile to work ever work again, the mill and its interior have been restored to a display condition by the National Trust, who were bequeathed the Kingston Lacy estate in 1982, and is open for guided tours between March and November (see National Trust website for opening times and dates).
1 Leaving Sturminster Marshall from The Ginger Fox, begin the walk crossing the main road and by heading down Newton Peveril Road which is signposted to Almer; (this is quite a long road stretch passing Newton Farm and Newton Peveril Manor on the right) until approximately ¾ of the way down the road towards the A31.
2Turn right into a green lane (unhelpfully the footpath sign is missing). Follow the path which is lined by hedgerows and which then follows a gentle rise uphill.
3Just before the track bends round to the right to go round Westley Wood, turn right at the crossroads and continue to follow the track – along this stretch is possible to see towards Stag Gate on the Drax Estate wall and across Charborough Park – and continue until you once again reach the A350.
4This is an extremely fast stretch of the road so cross with care and follow Green Lane straight ahead; the pumping station is on the right of this lane and at the time of writing, improvement works were taking place but the lane was still available for walkers; it also provides access for the owners to Green Lane Cottage.
5Turn right at the footpath sign and through the gate before continuing along the narrow path (the next stretch passes through three fields before heading back into the village). Pass a deserted section of the Somerset and Dorset line on the right – follow the path for approximately 900 yards and then turn right onto a concrete path and follow this path into Sturminster Marshall.
6On reaching the road turn left into King's Street and follow the road along Back Lane and turn left into Church Street to visit St Mary the Virgin Church.
The walk could (and should) be extended at this point by continuing to walk along Church Street which bends to the right before becoming Mill Lane and eventually leads to White Mill Bridge and Mill). ◗
Distance: 3 miles
Terrain: Mostly level and a bit 'soft' in places.
How to get there: A350 Blandford to Poole.
Parking & Start: Roadside parking available (with care) in Sturminster Marshall or car parks for patrons of the Ginger Fox Pub.

Popular toon characters Tom & Jerry join Kajol and Mr Mach, the crocodile, not for a Bollywood-Hollywood animated adventure, but Alpenliebe's latest TVC. The 60-second commercial takes a leap ahead to reinforce the irresistibility factor as it introduces Cartoon Network's duo into the mix, under license from Warner Bros
The TVC has been created by McCann Erickson, headed by Prasoon Joshi, Executive Chairperson McCann Worldgroup India and Regional Creative Director McCann Asia Pacific, and produced by Black Magic Motion Pictures. The TVC is breaking across all news and entertainment channels on March 8.
The animation component, conceptualised in association with Turner's Sponsorship and Promotions department, a division of Creative Services, was shot in Mumbai and directed by Abhijeet Chaudhuri with the animation of Tom and Jerry produced by Hook Up Studios in Buenos Aires. The 3D crocodile animation was produced by Oscar winning visual effects house Rhythm and Hues, Mumbai, making this a truly global collaboration.
Sameer Suneja, CEO, Perfetti Van Melle India, said, "Tom and Jerry are very popular cartoon characters and we wanted to introduce them in our communication along with our brand ambassador Kajol and mascot Mr Mach, the crocodile. The brief that we gave to McCann Erickson was to build a communication around these characters."
The commercial mixes live action, 2D and 3D animation to get the spectacular effects needed to ensure that the mayhem of the story is translated on the screen. The TVC kicks off with Tom & Jerry jumping out of the television straight into Kajol's home to get hold of an Alpenliebe candy jar turning her home upside down. A shocked Kajol enters her home in between the ensuing Tom & Jerry chase and sets Mr Mach to catch the duo and recover her favourite candy. In the melee that follows, the jar finds its way back to Kajol. The quick thinking Kajol sends Tom & Jerry back into the TV feigning an Alpenliebe thrown into the TV. Mr Mach gets his candy as a reward as do Tom & Jerry. In the background the VO says: "Lalach aha Laplapa, Tom hai Chatora.
Lalach aha Laplapa, Jerry Chalu Chora". The commercial ends with Kajol pretending to yet again feed Mr Mach with the Alpenliebe candy, but pops the candy in her own mouth instead.
Speaking on the brief, Prasoon Joshi said, "The brief we got from Perfetti Van Melle India was to use Tom and Jerry in an innovative way along with Kajol and the crocodile in the TVC. This tie up with the Cartoon Network's characters is only for this TVC. It was a very tight brief."
"The basic message that we tried to convey is that Alpenliebe is so tempting that Tom and Jerry have come out of the television set to eat it," Joshi added.

The costumes were amazing and added to the brilliant production.
More short-sightedness in this community. Charity Navigator, an independent non-profit organization that rates other charities' effectiveness says that 76.2% of the USOCs expenses go to athlete programs. They give them 3 out of 4 stars.
Hundreds of amateur athletes from around the country and the world come to the Training Center every year for training and competitions. So do their coaches and, sometimes, their parents. This includes paraplegic athletes, many former service members. All of them spending money in this community. Athletes who train at the OTC often end up moving to the Springs permanently. Oooh. Tax dollars and other money spent here. The OTC also attracts tourists. You guessed it. Money spent here.
Sports Medicine and Sports Performance departments help all kinds of athletes with better training methods, the best nutrition for their sports, ways to recover from injuries quicker. All kinds of neat stuff that helps people from all over. Including Colorado Springs.
FYI, the money from NBC goes to the IOC and is then distributed among all the national Olympic Committees around the world. The USOC gets under 13%.
The Michael Phelpses and Apolo Onos are the minority--and that money goes to them, not the USOC. Most athletes who train at the OTCs, including the few who actually make it to the Games, don't get endorsement deals.
