MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia expressed doubt on Tuesday that Western nations can persuade Syrian opposition representatives to take part in an international peace conference in time for it to take place in mid-November.
The doubts of Damascus's most important ally followed remarks in which the international envoy for Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, said the target date of mid-November was "not 100 percent certain" and cited disunity among rebel forces.
"Until recently we hoped our Western partners, who undertook to bring the opposition to the conference, could do it quite quickly, but they were unable to do it quickly, and I don't know whether they will be able to do so by mid-November," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
A pledge by the Syrian government to abandon chemical arms has increased prospects for the peace conference, proposed by Russia and the United States in May, to go ahead.
U.N. Security Council powers hope it can be held in mid-November. Lavrov said it must be organized soon since "radicals and jihadists are strengthening their positions" in Syria.
"The task is to not lose any more time, and to bring to the negotiating table with the government those opposition groups that ... think not about creating a caliphate in Syria or just seizing power and using it at their will, but about the fate of their country," Lavrov said after meeting Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, secretary general of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.
Lavrov also called into question the thoroughness of a U.N. chemical weapons mission after suggesting that it had not examined a site outside of Aleppo where Russia and the Syrian government say rebel forces likely used chemical weapons.
"The commission recently returned (to Syria) and already announced that it finished its work and is returning to New York," said Lavrov.
"As far as I understand, they examined several more places where there are claims chemical weapons were used near Damascus. And as before, the commission did not travel to the outskirts of Aleppo, where a serious incident of the use of chemical weapons occurred on March 19."
Syrian rebels blame Assad's government for that attack.
Russian experts visited the location earlier this year and took samples of material from the site that were later analyzed at a Russian laboratory certified by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, Russia's U.N. envoy said previously.
The site was one of the places covered in the U.N. committee's mandate. "And so we want to understand whether the mission's report will be complete or incomplete," Lavrov said, "considering that this mission was not able to visit all the locations named in its initial mandate."

This year Bollywood is going to witness quite a few box office battles. Come October the Exotic babe will take on Katrina at the box office and considering both the actors have huge fan following it would be interesting to see who emerges on the top
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's biopic on Manipuri boxer Mary Kom starring Priyanka Chopra in the lead will hit the theatres on October 2. But it won't be a solo release coz Katrina Kaif's Phantom with Saif Ali Khan and Bang Bang opposite Hrithik Roshan will also be releasing on the same day (October 2, Thursday). Since it's the longest weekend of 2014 as Friday is Dussehra followed by Eid on Monday, we aren't surprised that three big films will be battling out at the ticket windows at the same time. While it would be a treat for all the movie goers, only one film will walk away with a bigger money pie. Well, that happens every time there is a box office clash, hai na? So will Ms Chopra play a spoilsport for her contemporary? Coz Mary Kom biopic has generated great buzz amongst the masses so it does have an advantage over both of Kat's films.
However, Ms Kaif is still riding high on the success of Dhoom:3 which rewrote box office records last December. For now, this battle looks well poised but which B-town beauty will get cash registers jingling, only time will tell.

Snowfall to Date Well Under Historic Average
Posted By News On @ 6:23 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
While snowfall is well below normal, rainfall is actually above average as we reach mid-February. State Climatologist Harry Hillaker says the historical average is 15" of snow by this point in winter, which we've received about half of, mostly during two particular snowstorms. He says there's still plenty of time to get more snow, but adds snow in late winter has been uncommon in recent years.
Meanwhile, above average rainfall in eastern Iowa, especially in the past few weeks, has made a positive impact on river levels.

An Athens man convicted of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl and running over her as he fled has been sentenced to 50 years in prison.
A Henderson County jury in June convicted 31-year-old Joshua Harold Golmon of aggravated sexual assault of a child. The girl was abducted in March 2008 as she walked to a friend's home.
Golmon's cell phone, discovered in the pasture where the victim was dumped, helped lead to him.
Prosecutor Lenda Burnett on Tuesday told The Associated Press that Golmon's SUV left a tire mark on the girl's abdomen.
Burnett says running over the victim "just made it so much worse," although the girl did not suffer serious injuries from the vehicle.
Golmon was sentenced Friday.

I found one instance of this on my Google search. It seemed to be used as a first name, from the context, but it's in Spanish (Peru) so I'm not sure. Previously, I've found it in contexts that looked more like a surname, or even a place name, but I don't speak Spanish so all I have is Babelfish.This is a long shot, but has anyone here ever heard it? Know anything at all about its origin?

A Boston firefighter who allegedly made threats against the department will not face criminal charges.
According to the Boston Herald, a West Roxbury District Court magistrate ruled Monday that there wasn't probable cause to charge 53-year-old Kenny Veiga.
A fire captain said that during a phone call last month, Veiga threatened to make a deadly crime spree by a former Los Angeles police officer look like "child's play."
Christopher Dorner killed four people in February before dying during a standoff with southern California law enforcement.
Veiga's lawyer Dianna L. Abdala, told the Herald her client never mentioned Dorner.
Veiga was reportedly upset that a department doctor had cleared him to resume work after a colleague's suicide attempt, before Veiga had a chance to consult his own doctor.
The 24 year veteran of the Boston Fire Department is still on administrative leave, and it's unknown when he'll be back on the job.

Churches throughout the Inland area will be packed with worshippers Wednesday for services marking the beginning of Lent.
Ash Wednesday attracts many people who typically do not attend church the rest of year, said John Andrews, spokesman for the Diocese of San Bernardino, which includes Riverside and San Bernardino counties.
âMy understanding is this is the busiest day in churches all year, more than Christmas and Easter,â he said.
Lent is the 40 days, except Sundays, leading up to Easter. Lent for many Christians is a time of reflection and repentance; some give up a favorite food or activity as a sign of sacrifice.
Ashes are seen as a symbol of repentance and acknowledgement of mortality.
âI think thereâs a certain cathartic experience in receiving the ashes,â Andrews said. âThereâs something about the way we identify ourselves as people who are humble and acknowledge our sinfulness. I would hope itâs the start of a journey toward reconciliation and toward coming closer to God.â
Many Catholic parishes will have a number of special Masses and prayer services, beginning in the morning and continuing into the early evening.
Many Episcopal churches also will have several special services. A growing number of Lutheran, Baptist, United Church of Christ and other Protestant churches also hold Ash Wednesday services.
Contact David Olson at 951-368-9462 or email@example.com
â" Ashes smudged on Christiansâ foreheads traditionally are created by burning dried palm fronds left from the previous yearâs Palm Sunday.
â" In many churches that make their own ashes, rather than buying them from a religious-supply store, parishioners store the fronds â" often shaped into crosses â" in their homes. Some put them behind a crucifix or in the frame of a photo of a loved one who passed away.
â" A few days or weeks before Ash Wednesday, the church holds a ceremony in which the fronds are burned, often in a grill exclusively for the practice.

Power Supplies
One hundred forty-seven dollars and thirty-nine cents—that is the cost for replacing a power supply for an old MiniITX computer system I found in my office. Mind you, the entire unit cost about $199, and that was five years ago, but still, the cost for a replacement power supply is absurd.
Thankfully, a quick search on the Internet found a universal power adapter that fit my requirements for about $18. How can you find inexpensive replacements for your missing power supplies, without frying your vintage arcade cabinet computer? There are a few important things to watch for:
Voltage: most universal power adapters have several voltage selectors; make sure that they match your needs. (For example, laptop power supplies generally require more voltage and, unfortunately, are more expensive.) The device should say near the power adapter how much voltage it requires. The network switch in Figure 1 shows a need for 7.5V of DC current. Some devices require AC voltage as opposed to DC, so be sure to look for "DC" on the device.
Amperage: your device generally will say near its power port the amperage it requires along with the voltage. Amperage is a little different from voltage, and you want to make sure your power supply supplies at least as much amperage (usually measured in milliamps) as your device requires. The device will draw as much amperage as it requires, but there's no concern if the power supply gives more than it requires. The network switch in Figure 1 shows a 1 amp minimum requirement.
Polarity: your device most likely will have a drawing that shows whether the tip of the plug is positive and the jacket negative, or vice versa. Most universal power supplies will have a selector that looks similar. Make sure polarity is lined up! It's just like putting batteries in backward if you flip the polarity.
Plug: I wish there were a standard for the various types of plugs you might face, but sadly, there's not. Most universal adapters come with a selection of plugs that will fit most devices, but unfortunately, not all. It is possible, if you feel a bit adventurous, to cut the end off your old power adapter (assuming you have it) and solder or tape the correct plug on the wire of the universal adapter. Be warned, however, that it's easy to mess up polarity when you do that.
There are some other factors to weigh in as well. Some cheap universal power supplies are not regulated, which means they can vary in voltage depending on the load they're put under. If your device is particularly sensitive, you may want to watch for that. In the end, if you're worried you might mess up and ruin your prized powerless device, you always can shell out the $147.39 and get a new one. For me though, $18 was more in my budget.

Multimeter Time
If you are dinkering with power supplies, or even want to modify one make your own for special applications, it is not too hard. Either way you will want to take the opportunity to get a good multimeter and learn to test questionable power supplies before plugging em into your precious. Polarity you will want to test of course, but also you will find many supplies may put out more voltage than you expect - this is often the case in switching power supplies - and you will have to put the circuit on load to get a correct reading from the meter. You can build a simple test circuit in order to measure the supply rather than test it upon something important.
Some of your devices may have built in voltage regulators which can accommodate a little slop in the voltage but you would have to do some research to find out. To be safe you can add your own regulator, filtering capacitor, or rectifier to a cheaper supply to get a smoother voltage. Do some online reading it is a fun subject on basic electronics :)
The best place for cheap supplies I have found is goodwill you can buy a fistful of power supplies for $10 and cut them up to mix and match the connectors if necessary. Just please test them well and only play with the DC (low voltage) side of the supply!
You have a good point there
Also consider the power efficiency (wattage out / wattage in) and the voltage delivered under the desired current (amperes). A multimeter helps here :)
A flaky power supply leads to weird hardware problems so perhaps steer away from the very cheapest ones (witch probably are manufactured under poor labor conditions anyways).
Beware of DELL power supplies
Do NOT get an OEM power supplies for DELL laptops.
The sneaky Dell has added an "authentication" pin to their power supplies that talks to the laptop's BIOS, and if the BIOS determines that the power supply is not genuine, it will NOT let it charge the battery, and slows down the CPU!
Repeat after me: Will not get Dell again.
There are actually more than 4 things to watch...
There are actually more than 4 things to watch, even if for low-value devices it may be enough (if we add "signal frequency" to the list).
For more expensive or precious devices, we should, in my opinion, proceed as this:
1- What is the ideal expected power source? It includes: nominal voltage (or current, rare), frequency
2- What are the hardware requirements? Includes: plug, form factor
3- What are the acceptable value ranges of the different parameters of the real source? Includes: average AND maximal power (for hifi), signal quality (for hifi and computers), phase (for motors?), and many others I don't know...
Why? Because your devices are unlikely to have an linear power consumption nor accept all kind of little variations some cheap source is likely to produce (instead of a perfect sinusoid at anytime).
try an xbox power supply
There are several various 360 power supplies wired differently. Some will work with the ultra small form factor Dells. Good if you need one, as your local used game store probably has a bin of them behind the counter and may barter if you're broke....
Some other symbols to watch out for
Some devices don't say AC or DC, they have a little symbol for each. The symbol for AC is a sine wave (similar to ~) and the DC symbol is a straight line with a dashed line underneath it.
Box of old stuff
This is one reason why I never toss out old power supplies. You never know when you'll need one.
Wall warts
Universal wall-wart supplies are also notorious for having insufficient power capacity (limited current). Think of this: You put in a new whiz-bang video adapter in your (cheap, big-box-store) computer and suddenly start having all kinds of mysterious problems, with maybe the computer refusing to even start properly, your hard drive refusing to spin up, etc. All of this caused by an undersized power supply.
I have also had problems with external hard drive enclosures whose supplies are unable to properly source sufficient power for the old IDE drives which I have around. New drives would work, but I can't use the enclosure to access data on the old drives.
Isn't "current" the more current (pun intended) word for "amperage"?
Although I could understand "amperage", I can't recall having seen it anywhere else in an English text. Please, I am not being sarcastic or ironic, nothing like that. It just so happens that, coming from Ampère, it is very used in French (and Portuguese).
Yes, it's archaic and current
Yes, it's archaic and current is (and has been for some time) a more appropriate term.
In short, no. The Ampere (A)
In short, no. The Ampere (A) is the SI unit of electrical current.
On a power supply you will generally find some unit in mA or A. This is much the same as using Watt (W) as for electical power.
Um, minor points
You wrote "This network switch shows a need for 7.5V of DC current"
Voltage is NOT current. The example you were writing about might better be described as:
"This network switch shows a need for 7.5V of DC voltage, and 1 amp or more of available current".
When I first read this article, I realized that the topic was external power supplies, or 'wall warts'. Matching up voltages and current capacities is actually the easy part, but matching the plug/jack and polarity is always an issue. There are normally no standards here, so matching these up is a nuisance. But there is almost always (99.44% of the time)
It's not easy to describe these problems and solutions, and your article is very helpful to others in offering alternatives and avoiding the amazingly high prices of 'original equipment' replacements.

We hope that you have as much fun making these as we did. My girls really enjoyed making these, but what amazed me most was how much my 10-year-old son & his friend enjoyed making them too. They can
- ¼ cup vanilla soy milk -
- ¼ cup light corn syrup -
- Pinch of salt -
- 4 cups icing sugar (you made need more if the batter feels sticky) -
- 3-4 assorted colors of food coloring (try to work with washable ones) -
1. In a large bowl, use a spoon, and mix the soy milk, corn syrup, & salt.
2. Slowly add the icing sugar. Wash your hands well, as it will definitely be easier & more fun to mix the mixture by hand!! I always wear disposable gloves while working with food, but for this recipe, it's not a good idea- the dough sticks to the gloves.
3. Knead the mixture, till you have a smooth candy, the texture of play dough. If the dough sticks to your hands, add some more icing sugar.
4. Divide the dough into 4 or 5 pieces (depending on how many colors you want to use) Place each piece of dough in a small bowl (plastic disposable are recommended) Put 2-3 drops of coloring into each bowl except for one - if you want one of your colors to be white. Knead the color into the dough till it blends in.
5. Now for the best part!! There are two types of marbles that you can make- either take a small piece of dough from each color. Roll them together into a ball. For a different effect- take a small piece of dough from each bowl, roll it all into a long strip & now roll it into a ball shape. It will look more marbleized. Lay them on a cookie sheet or tray.
6. If you're still in the mood of more creativity- you can wrap each candy individually. Cut out a square piece of cellophane. Wrap the candy & tie ribbon on each side. Who will be the lucky recipient?
Which effect do you prefer? I'd love to see your unique creations. You can email me at email@example.com

The Secret to A Long life: Poetry, Friends and Family
Dorothy Stafford is no longer 'the wife of a famous poet, William Stafford,' but her own person
In scenery I like flat country.
In life I don't like much to happen.
In personalities I like mild colorless people.
And in colors I prefer gray and brown.
My wife, a vivid girl from the mountains, says, 'Then why did you choose me?'
Mildly I lower my brown eyes - there are so many things admirable people do not understand.
- 'Passing Remark' by William Stafford
Although she was William Stafford's cherished companion, Dorothy Stafford was never the poet's muse.
During solitary writing sessions, her 'Bill' found inspiration for his gentle quotidian-style poems in man's relationship with nature and the minutia of life.
Dorothy, on the other hand, was something else entirely - his confidant, his equal, and, as he once described her, 'a vivid girl from the mountains.'
And that internal brightness has not lessened, even in times of great grief and sorrow.
Friends and poetry fans around Lake Oswego adore Dorothy's sharp wit, warm demeanor and compassionate nature. They also ask her to reveal the secret to her long, fulfilling life.
Of course, she gives them partial credit.
'She is a remarkable person, a luminous creature,' said Paulann Petersen, a close family friend. 'She is alert to what is good and wonderful in the world.'
Dorothy turned 92 on Monday and was feted by Petersen and other close friends and relatives at her annual birthday celebration. About 40 friends from across Oregon attended, including Bill Baars, director of the Lake Oswego Public Library.
'As far as I'm concerned, Dorothy is the soul of the community,' Baars said. 'She not only keeps alive what (Bill) meant to the community, she adds a whole other element with her contributions.'
Even the city has recognized those contributions, which range from involvement in civic organizations to volunteering at the library and teaching in two public schools.
Lake Oswego's street crews landscaped a small plot at the intersection of Sunningdale Road and 10th Street and named it 'Dorothy's Corner' at a dedication last April. The personalized plaque surprised Dorothy, who helped plan the public space.
'When I heard rumors about this park, I thought 'Why? There was no need for that,' Dorothy said. 'Then I realized all of my life I've asked 'Why?' so now I'll ask 'Why not?''
Dorothy crosses it every day during her stroll around the neighborhood and says it keeps walkers from getting splashed by cars passing over puddles. Flowers, grass and shrubs bloom there year-round, much like Dorothy herself.
'I never thought I could be so old and have such a rich life,' Dorothy said.
Although she had never lived alone before, Bill's sudden death in 1993 couldn't keep Dorothy from carving out a life on her own.
'My mother struggled, then was successfully her own person,' said son Kim Stafford. 'She became, as one friend said, 'No longer 'the wife of a famous poet, William Stafford,' but simply 'Dorothy Stafford.''
A major player in the local literary scene, she regularly attends author lectures, readings and her monthly book club meeting, where she drinks a glass of wine and discusses local and world events.
Plays and concerts keep her busy, as do visitors who pop in at her modest Lake Oswego home, where the Stafford family has lived for 50 years.
Then there's gardening in the backyard, spending time with her children and seven grandchildren and attending William Stafford poetry events, including several local birthday celebrations hosted by the Friends of William Stafford this month.
''Always busy' is an understatement,' Petersen said. 'She has a social calendar that would put most of ours under the rug.'
Indeed, life has been full of wonderful and memorable moments for Dorothy, who met her match in Los Prietos, Calif., in 1943.
Bill, a conscientious objector, fought fires, built roads and planted trees there during his service in World War II. Dorothy Hope Frantz, who grew up in California, had accompanied her minister father to the camp, where he preached and she performed a skit.
Bill and Dorothy, both avid readers and staunch pacifists, quickly hit it off. He asked if she would like to take a walk in the hills above the camp.
As the story goes, one of them began to recite a line from an obscure story by Willa Cather; the other completed it and the rest was history.
She returned to Los Angeles and sent him a telegram: 'After long thirst, a draught of perfect good.' The wartime censor, who suspected it might be code, blocked the message. It was her own code, and the two were married shortly after.
'So we gambled and it worked,' she said. 'We were 100 miles apart, but I knew.'
As a husband, Bill offered love, wisdom and frequent surprises. Dorothy said she was attracted to him because he didn't 'talk like other people … about the trivial.'
'He was an unusual man, and I never quite understood him,' she said.
Both teachers, the Staffords moved between various states for work and - with their four kids Barbara, Kit, Kim and Brett - eventually settled in Lake Oswego in 1957 so Bill could take a full-time position as a professor at Lewis and Clark College.
'We put our roots down,' she said. 'I knew it was home when I got here.'
Dorothy, a University of La Verne graduate, took a job teaching at Lake Grove Elementary School, then Forest Hills Elementary. She spent 20 years in the Lake Oswego School District before retiring in 1983.
'Back then you were either a nurse, teacher or secretary, and I took (to teaching),' she said. 'I don't know what I'd be now … maybe an architect.'
Home life on Sunningdale Road was anything but dull. The Stafford kids were immersed in reading, writing and the arts - experiences that influenced them in their adult careers.
'There was a lot of teaching by example,' said Kim, a writing professor at Lewis and Clark. 'We didn't have a TV until I was 10 or so. We made our own projects for entertainment.'
Then, in 1963, Bill's first major collection of poems, 'Traveling Through the Dark,' won the National Book Award.
Seven years later, he was named Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress. The Staffords moved to Washington, D.C., to experience a year of cocktail and dinner parties, writers meetings and travel.
Dorothy always stood beside her husband and never in the shadow of his fame, Petersen said. She often accompanied him to lectures and writers conferences in other states.
'There was such a wonderful mutual respect for each other and their respective places in the world,' Petersen added. 'Bill is a very famous person, but Dorothy is going to hold her own, anywhere.'
At home, Bill would rise at 4 a.m. every day to take a walk and write. He was very private with his creative process. Once, he showed Dorothy some poetry and she added a few corrections.
'He never showed me again,' she said with a smile.
His works are still held by the Stafford family and co-managed by Kim in the William Stafford Archive at Lewis and Clark.
Dorothy cherishes Bill's written word and has a number of his poems on display in their home. A bookcase in the kitchen holds his many published works.
'I like poetry so much, I don't know how I would get along with it,' Dorothy said.
She writes, too, in regular correspondence with her friends and a journal she's kept since Bill died. In it, she attaches news clippings and pictures she finds interesting or amusing.
In a letter to a reporter at the Review, she reveals: 'My love of libraries, the rich literary associations I know and friends, family, food, flowers and fun are my secrets of being so old and loving life.'


text: A familiar urban legend gets a chilling new twist when a group of high school friends all receive a chain e-mail claiming that someone close to them will soon die if they fail to keep the message circulating. At first Jessie Campbell (Nikki Reed) thought it might just be a sick joke, but when her friends break the chain and people start to die, she realizes it's only a matter of time until the Chain Man comes to claim her, too. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

ESTELLE, TEXAS. Estelle was on Estelle Creek fourteen miles northwest of Dallas on the western border of Dallas County. It was on the original land grant of H. Burgoon. The site was settled in 1881 as a rural crossroads rest stop on the route between Farmers Branch and Bird's Fort (now Birdville) in Tarrant County. The community was named Estill in honor of an architect from Grapevine; the name was inaccurately recorded in Washington as Estelle. A local post office operated from 1881 until 1904. By 1885 the town had a population of seventy-five, a steam cotton gin, two churches, a school, a blacksmith, two doctors, a teacher, and a reverend. The community was a shipping point for cotton and grain on a stage route to Grapevine and Dallas. The stage ran three times a week. In 1890 Estelle had a population of fifty, a general store, a cotton gin, a physician, a blacksmith, and Presbyterian and Methodist ministers. It supported a school with one teacher and forty-one pupils in 1896–97. By 1930 the community had only one business and a population of thirty-eight, the figure it retained until 1948, the last year Estelle is listed in the Texas Almanac.

I thought it was good, i like how it doesnt really follow the manga, so i never know what's going to happen next. The plot was pretty good, and the RPG-style make-fun-of scene was quite the funny, especially when it had the "equipment" thing for each character, haha.
The new ED song and animation is spectacular. It didnt have Baka rangers at the end, but it was still quite interesting. I enjoyed watching this one more than the other ones. |

I checked the order of the girls with the attendance list from the manga (I used the one in the back of volume 9 (Del Rey), but I suppose one can use the ones from earlier volumes).
Taking out Asuna (who's doing the maracas dancing), Konoka, Setsuna and Nodoka, it does follow the order, except in a different way. Right to left then top to bottom (page by page), instead of the numbered order of top to bottom then right to left (where page doesn't matter). I know it sounds kind of confusing. It's much easier to follow if you have that attendance list in front of you. Yes, I'm geeky. On another note, I have the sneaking suspicion that all those (regular school) desks in the OP animation are the only place we'll ever see them. I could be wrong, but I don't think I've ever seen those sorts of desks in the episodes themselves. |

Minor crosspost of my comments over at Random Curiosity...
I can't say I'm fond of the little "balloon aminals" (at least the way they are drawn and I include the ferret in that) … but the camera angles and art are still pretty good otherwise. I must admit the episode appealed to the darkside of my brain with Nodoka and that plant attack (oy vey the tentacles ) … for the plot itself, I must stew a bit before I decide what I think of it. There's still a lot of episodes to go but I'm going to be disappointed if we don't get *something* with the firepower pizzazz equivalent to the Kyoto arc or the Festival tourney. Its very entertaining but I think we're starting to see the importance of that "?" at the end of the title. If you read Tsukuyomi Moon Phase the manga and compare it to the anime — you'll find they are both very good… but quite different in some ways as well. Shinbo is some kind of perverse subversive

Something strange is going on there in the bottom of those screens, not that the series is plenty strange as it is. If you are talking about episode 4 then most of us here watched the RAW/unsubbed version, though, not sure if YouTube has it.

Setsuna's boke in the middle ("それはきっと、言葉の最後に「ルンヤ」が付くんのだと、思われるんや" ("That must be because it adds "-runya" to the end of it's sentences-runya")) cracked me up hard. What made it funnier was the fact that the rainy weather she caused actually continued on until Motsu and Shichimi appeared. That's some serious boke power.
Ichijou-sa- I mean, Konoka's udon lecture in the end was quite amusing, probably because it's Ichi, I mean... yeah. (?) The new ED (that was fast) was quite interesting, the song was quite catchy too. Finally, something that somewhat resembles what's normal for an evening anime. |

I am enjoying the characters. I found my character/seiyuu map pretty useful, since I didn't know them all from before. The chupacabras didn't make much sense to me, but they were funny, and any chance I get to hear Chiwa's voice is cool. Noto-kawaii-yo-Noto was really doing her thing as Nodoka. And then on Friday there's the 16:9 version....

I have to say I've enjoyed the art style for the most part, I'm abit disappointed on the lack of variety in the shots but budgeting constraints and the artistic style seem like good excuses for really simple angles, I guess. I personally wish they would have stuck closer to the manga. Only time will tell for me....

This new plotline they are taking makes sense if they want to make use of as many of the pactio cards as they can. (3 times X number of girls). I expect a monster of the week or some such conflict from now on so they can debut each card.
In this reality Negi has more incentive to create pactios because: a) The partner may lose energy b) The card summoned is the useless one (suka?) c) the card summoned may be inappropriate for the situation. Going back to ep4: In the sequence that Negi activates Asuna's Pactio why was there a drop of water? This another easter egg I did not get or maybe a kind of foreshadowing? @monir yeah that's one of those weird eggs from Berserk if Negi fails in his dreams he just might find it in his pocket... As a final note: + Yey! New ED i like the animation - No Baka rangers...Makie may have quit so they disbanded... |

this episode is introducing slowly but surely the next arc, which will be probably original.
IMO, the randomness of the episode is somewhat done to put the situation back to the statu quo : it is supposed to be a normal school life for the girls (they are (un)lucky enough to have so much mess ... mahora gakuen should be nicknamed as a amusement park sometimes XD), though the eccentric yet unique personnality of each character can only give us so much fun (need more chachamaru quotes ! ) my main concern is the "dark thing" which is strong enough to mind control the "great dark evangel"... whatever she is weak at her current state, it's kinda big. as a side note, i dunno if it's me, but negi seems to be way more reckless in this story : he doesn't really check whetever he should use magic or not in public (and camo is way worse oO) nice ep indeed 9/10 EDIT : weirdly enough, the 2...bean/coton small creature make me think about ayu mayu from KGNE oO (especially the green one as ayu XD)

Hey! Discussion about genetic disorders...Hey, y'all! I really need some info about some genetic disorders, I don't intend on taking all of your info, but actually participating.
ok, so what do you want specifically, because there's Turner's Syndrome, Phenylketonuria, etc. Be specific in your discussion boundaries.
Saying that any two humans are exactly alike is like saying republicans have morals
It's all right. I'll use google or something, thanks! I'll have to remember to be more specific next time I post.
Or my personal fav, Congenital Erythropoetic Porphyria. Look that one up.

Heavy Metal. IT'S THE DEVILS MUSIC!!!! It's also the Cowboy's music.
From Fanhouse:
Marc Colombo, Cory Procter and Leonard Davis are members of the Cowboys offensive line and they have this heavy metal group called Free Reign. The man who plays guitar is Justin Chapman — he's not a NFL player, but he's good at what he does.
The band just signed a deal with Australia's Riot Entertainment. A debut EP should come out in the fall.
Maybe Tony Romo will let them open for Jessica Simpson.

TIGI: Bed Head Moisture Maniac Shampoo and Conditioner Review:
Bed Head Moisture Maniac Shampoo and Conditioner
I thought for sure I would have loved this product! I tend to have very dry hair alot of times so I always stick with moisture shampoos. Of course I got the parge bottle of both, and i hate to say it...after 2 weeks of using it I regretted buying such huge containers! I do love the smell, but that is about the only thing. When I condition my hair, I like it to feel silky and soft in the shower after I wash it out. I have started using ALOT of this conditioner because if I don't I still feel like my hair has tangles. I sometimes even go in with a different conditioner AFTER the Moisture Maniac conditioner because it does nothing for me! The shampoo is ok, but i still feel like my hair is kind of dry. When I brush it or back comb it, it starts to static a get poofy which is a sign of dry hair. This is REALLY rare for my hair and it didn't start doing this until I got this shampoo and conditioner. There are definitely other moisture products I would use in the shower instead of this. I give this duo 2 stars.

Letters to the Editor
Hey developers, look to Brookswood
Editor: Re the "We Say" editorial in the May 31 edition, it states "This means more pressure on schools, particularly in Willoughby, which is far from being built out."
Well Willoughby has been built out quite enough already, and doesn't need any more development. I think it's time that the developers now gave Brookswood/Fernridge the privilege of being clear cut and paved over.

text: Has Diablo III's Rocky Launch Hurt PC Gaming?Kirk Hamilton5/16/12 9:00pmFiled to: PullquoteDiablodiablo IIIBlizzardKotaku CoretweetFbPC546EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink There's no denying that the error-filled launch of Diablo III has been something of a debacle. But has it really harmed PC gaming? Indie game designer Jeff Vogel worries that it may have, sharing the above thought on his personal blog. Advertisement Advertisement When the highest-profile PC release of the year has a a launch this problem-filled, it certainly doesn't help the platform's image. Then again, console releases can certainly be buggy too, particularly multiplayer-heavy console games. But then again again, those games don't lock you out of the their single-player content if the company's servers are down.I will offer this oversimplified and deliberately incendiary anecdote: While I waited and waited for Diablo III to start working after Blizzard's servers failed again last night, I fired up Max Payne 3 and played to my heart's content.

text: This low-budget film from scriptwriter Dan O'Bannon (his first film since the 1985 zombie hit Dan O'Bannon) is one of the more loyal adaptations of fantasy author H.P. Lovecraft, taking as its source the short story The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. Set in Lovecraft's home town of Providence, Rhode Island, the story involves the investigations of hard-boiled private eye John Marsh (John Terry) into the mysterious activities of Charles Dexter Ward (Chris Sarandon). It seems that Ward is becoming increasingly obsessed with the occult practices of his distant ancestor Joseph Curwen (also played by Sarandon) who was reputed to have found the secret of resurrecting the dead. Much to the horror of his wife Claire (Jane Sibbett), Ward is slowly being possessed by Curwen's malevolent spirit, and he is compelled to perform horrible experiments on the locals in pursuit of his goal. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

Off Topic - What T. Jefferson didn't originate...
Seems Thomas Jefferson isn't the originator of the quote, "I might not like what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it". A little research shows that this is a paraphrase of Voltaire's words in his "Essay On Tolerance" attributed to Evelyn Beatrice Hall under the pseudonym S. G. Tallentyre and published in "Friends of Voltaire" (1906). The original quote's time of origin is 1770 and may have been picked up by Jefferson during the time he spent in France, hence the erroneous connection though the true text does differ somewhat. Thought you might like to know... S.Russell |
Yep I know. I thought it was Voltaire as I had often over the years attributed it to him but after you mentioned Jefferson, I got to wondering if I had been off track. I did a little web research to confirm. Makes little difference, it is an outstanding line from whatever source. Duggan |

Awesome review!!!! Wish you woulda also auditioned the Sennheiser HD650s and PX360s which is what I own. Just based on what other people say, seems like the HD650s have a warmer sound than the HD600s. I was musing the idea of one day going with either the HD700 or HD800s as I love the sound of both my Sennheisers. Mainly what I was looking for was a bit "more" in both highs and lows than what I get now fromt he HD650s from my next set of head phones. I think a few times you mentioned that the HD800s had less bass than the HD600s, and you seem to think the HD700s definitely have better bass response than either of the HD600s and HD800s.
So my guess is, if the HD650s offer a fuller, warmer, slightly bassier sound than then 600s and the 800s are lighter in bass than the 600s, then it seems like the HD700s would be my natural step up. I am certainly not looking for anything with an unnatural response to bass (like Beats) or an unnatural response to highs (like Bose). I would like to see how the HD700s comepare to the 650s in terms of highs.
I listen to all types of music on all types of media. Jazz, Blues, Rock, Metal, Latin, Rap...everything really. I have SACDs, CDs, 192/24 bit FLACs, regular FLACs and mp3s. My equipment is a little lacking, I mainly use the Fiio E9 desktop amp with my Yamaha HTR-3 series receiver. SACDs and CDs are played by a Sony BDP-480 player through HDMI so the receiver does the D-A conversion. But in the future I am looking to upgrade both player and pre-amp to either an Oppo 95 or Marantz UD7006 and to an Emotiva UMC-1 preamp. Havent decided on what headphone amp to get. It wouldn't be until I upgrade everything and see what the HD650s can REALLY do that I will consider buying another set of high end cans, but would appreciate if you could elaborate on anything I said, in regards to how I translated you general results.
For portable, I use the PX360 with he E7 Amp and Cowan J3 player.

Although only three candidates remain, it could take as long as six months before one of them takes the helm at Colorado Northwestern Community College.
Doug Hawkes, spokesman for the Colorado Community College Sys--tem, said system president Nancy McCallin has interviewed the three finalists for college president and expects to make a final decision in the next three weeks.
"When you select a new president, you like to really make sure you get the right fit for the college," Hawkes said.
Colorado Northwestern Community College has been without a president for 18 months. Bob Rizzuto has held the position in the interim. He said he likely will stay until a permanent president is selected.
But it could take months before a new president is in place.
Whomever the college selects may have to serve out a contract or finish a project that's in progress before starting the job at the college.
"Academia is not like a business where you can give two weeks notice," Hawkes said.
Finalists for the position of president are: John Boyd, interim provost for the Grand Strand Campus at Horry-Georgetown Technical College in Myrtle Beach, S.C.; Weldon Sleight, associate dean for continuing education at Utah State University; and Robert Behunin, associate executive director of Utah State University.
Residents had the opportunity to meet the top four candidates in December during community forums the college held in Craig and Rangely. After the forums, candidate C.J. Law was eliminated from the running.
McCallin has the authority to make the final decision. But she'll discuss her selection with the State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education before announcing it to the public, Hawkes said.
Colorado Northwestern is a state-funded community college with campuses in Craig and Rangely.
The Craig campus also is supported by a property tax collected in Moffat County that is used for tuition assistance and program development.

From the stunningly gorgeous to the downright weird, custom and handbuilt bikes of all walks were on display.—Words and photos by Chris Neyen
Best of the 2014 North American Handmade Bike Show
From the stunningly gorgeous to the downright weird, custom and handbuilt bikes of all walks were on display.—Words and photos by Chris Neyen
On its rigid, titanium 29er, IF showed off a gorgeous, not-yet-released PPG Crystallance finish that includes glass flakes. Paragon Machine Works adjustable dropouts provide interchangeability in a world of shifting industry standards. Note the small, matching front fender tucked under the Enve carbon fork.
The show had no lack of carbon wonders, but Ritchey's new Carbon Breakaway travel bike—which breaks apart to fit into a case—quietly accumulated many fans. Avoiding the extra-oversized tubes of many carbon bikes, Ritchey managed to go just slightly oversize, creating a classic aesthetic. Weighing in near 15 pounds, the versatile bike was handbuilt by Tom Ritchey himself. The frameset with headset costs $3,200.
There was an ample amount of bamboo at this year's show. The Semester, with its carbon fiber-lined hexagonal bamboo tubing, was a standout. The folks at Greensboro, Alabama-based HERObike say a fiberglass and epoxy coating adds to the vibration damping, stiffness, and strength. Made from locally grown bamboo, the Semester costs $850 complete.
Winner of the Best in Show award, this bladder-molded carbon frame can be laid up and built to your ideal ride quality. Of course, it's also designed to be light and stiff, with frames weighing 750 to 900 grams. This iteration is a gravel racer, and would be quite comfortable on paved roads as well. The custom frameset costs $6,500.
Leaving many NAHBS attendees wide-eyed, this concept bike from Japan was built "not to break the rules but to create a new interpretation," according to builder Yu Takai. Custom metalwork and art adorn the frame in numerous places, including a window into the headtube where the art moves as the wheel turns left and right.
A contender for Best Campagnolo Equipped Bike of Show, the RS-1 performance steel road bike turned heads with its bright red paint and smart graphics treatment. Built from True Temper S3 tubing with customized window dropouts, the frameset weighs in at about 4 pounds.
This unique frame utilizes Razik's own IsoTruss technologies, which makes tubes out of strands of carbon that are pre-tensioned and hand woven. The design, claims the Utah-based crew at Razik, provides unparalleled rigidity, responsiveness, and strength. To demonstrate strength, they threw a Vortex frame onto the floor and stepped on it. The frameset costs $4,000.
Carbon-fiber innovator Craig Calfee showed off a carbon tandem that converts to a single-rider bike. The tandem also breaks down for travel and fits into two cases.
From builder Don Walker's Vintage Series comes the circa 1950s Stayer bike with fillet-brazed Columbus SP throughout. Designed to replicate a stayer bike—a motor-paced track racer—the stem, stem support, and post support were all built in house. Another period touch: the wheels have tied and soldered spokes for increased strength.
This handmade 26-inch touring frame uses hollow 5–6mm thick black walnut tubes with an oil finish. Need convincing that this wooden bike is more than a gorgeous prop? The builder and his son rode it from coast to coast across the US.
Built by Kris Henry of 44Bikes, the all-purpose-road Huntsman platform can be adapted to commuting, road rides, touring, and even cyclocross. Henry's NAHBS build features Shimano's new Ultegra DI2 6870 11-speed drivetrain with RT65 hydraulic disc brakes. It was painted by Jay Nutini at Circle A.
Concinnity builder Luke Devine built up his cyclocross frame as a gravel grinder with custom rack mounts along with a custom-built box that looks just big enough for a six-pack. Custom-bent seatstays and chainstays, along with internal cable routing, make for a clean-looking ride.
Japanese builder Shiko Matsuda used shinogi filling for its lugs, which is the very same time-honored technique used by master katana sword makers.
This fat bike was an all-out assault on the senses. Built as an all-season, just-plain-fun bike with fat-bike capabilities, the Fat relies on a 4130 chromoly steel frame and MRP carbon fork. The frame costs $1,400, and a complete bike starts at $3,000.
Chris King's Cielo Road Racer is made from Columbus Life tubing with custom-drawn ovalized top- and downtubes. He rounds out the frame with a Press Fit 30 bottom bracket and a choice of mechanical or electronic cable routing. With an Enve fork, the frameset costs $2,495.
Crumpton's carbon T5 frames are completely built in house with meticulous attention to creating the best possible carbon tubes and frame. With a seven-month wait list and frameset price tag of $6,500, you're looking at one high-end performance machine.
From Copenhagen, Denmark, this unapologetically ascetic track bike features brazed-on brass rings along the top tube, and handmade wood sleeves for the grips and hub body.
Built as a road race and performance bike, this Lolo comes equipped with Shimano Di2 Dura-Ace electronic shifting and hydraulic disc brakes. Breadwinner's Tony Pereira and Ira Ryan say the Columbus Life tubing with oversized headtube gives it a stiff but lively ride. Custom designed dropouts and internal routing make for a clean presentation. The frame with an Enve fork costs $2,395, but this complete bike is in the ballpark of $8,500.
This Portland, Oregon frame shop built a 2.5-inch rear suspension onto its Gunther titanium fat bike with a Cannondale Lefty carbon fork up front
Designed with a slightly lower bottom bracket and a longer rear triangle for touring duties, this frame uses True Temper and Columbus tubing. Clean lines and the paint design give it a distinct look that's a tribute to Audi's 1980s Quattro S1 rally car. This all-arounder frame can be had for $2,100 with an Enve fork.
From Czech Republic outfit Festka's Art Collection, the Zero features a carbon lugged road frame built with the Gates Carbon Drive paired with a gear ratio of 60-22 for urban riding. This stunning frame's art is the work of two illustrators working by hand directly on the frame.
Falling into the "I am not too sure about this" category comes the Darwin. The frame adjusts for more optimal geometry when you stand to climb or sit back to descend. The bike's creators aim to improve aerodynamics and handling while seated and reduce rider fatigue during out-of-the-saddle efforts by actually keeping the rider on the saddle. The bike is shown in the collapsed climbing and sprinting mode.
Inspired by the F-117 stealth fighter, this unique carbon frame has a monocoque front triangle and features a BME-built crank, bar, and fork. Built as a singlespeed city bike, the Nighthawk will eventually go on sale for about $6,670 complete.
This carbon-fiber road bike from Italy combines different directional sleeves of carbon that work to control and modulate contortion and compression. Palladio builder Giancarlo Biondi developed the tube-to-tube construction now used in many carbon bikes. He designed his road bike to be classic in style but innovative in build and performance. The frameset costs $3,000.

More than 400,000 people call Northeast Philadelphia home, but it's a safe bet that for many of them, their only exposure to the area along the Delaware River is when they glance at it on the way to or from the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge.
That limited exposure should change in a few weeks when Lardner's Point Park, a 4.5-acre jewel of the outdoors between Robbins Avenue and Levick Street, is formally dedicated for all to enjoy.
The trash and debris that once marred the area will be replaced by a medley of amenities, including a walking trail that will be part of a 3,000-mile path along the East Coast, a fishing pier, benches and picnic tables, solar-powered lights, parking, and perhaps most important, trees.
Much of the $1.5 million cost of the project came from state funds — in other words, you the taxpayers — so it would behoove able-bodied Northeast denizens to attend the May 14 dedication to check out the new and improved waterfront.
With other improvement projects on the horizon, the area soon will offer Northeast residents great reasons to spend some of their leisure time in their community instead of the easy chair.

Speaking of treasures, America became a bit poorer last week with the passing of the world's oldest teenager, music legend Dick Clark.
Although watching the New Year's Eve festivities on TV arguably lost much of its luster when bandleader Guy Lombardo died in 1977, Mr. Clark became a beloved tradition on ABC with his hosting duties on New Year's Rockin' Eve.
This year, New Year's Eve just won't be the same. ••

Cooking with Protein Powders
I have read that heat destroys protein molecules. If this is true, (am not sure) is there any point in adding protein powder to recipes and dishes? Thoughts?:hungry:
I've had it curdle in hot coffee, but not sure if this was actual damage.
Since some powders are micro-filtered instead of being heat treated, it would make sense that using heat denatures them to a bigger degree; I also just read a piece which claims that heating/cooking whey protein powder means that some of the availability of the protein will be rendered useless.
According to that CBL fella, some of it is rendered useless but the majority should be fine as long as it's not kept too long.

This year's MTV Video Music Awards is all about looking forward as artists with some of the fall's most anticipated new music line up to perform as the show makes its first stop in New York's Brooklyn borough. Justin Timberlake and fellow lead nominees Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are scheduled to perform.
ASSOCIATED PRESS Enlarge
NEW YORK — Even if the hotly rumored 'N Sync reunion doesn't happen, the MTV Video Music Awards are already shaping up as Justin Timberlake's night.
The lead nominee — with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis — is up for six awards. Timberlake also will be honored with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, and the anticipation over whether he and his old boy-band cronies will appear together will persist well after the show kicks off tonight from Brooklyn.
MTV is officially mum, neither confirming nor denying the rumor, and Joey Fatone has even denied it officially. But 'N Sync debuted a Twitter account Saturday, and the hubbub has overshadowed what will be an all-star lineup at the Barclays Center.
Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Drake will perform hit singles for the first time, and Robin Thicke, Miley Cyrus and — if the spurned Stephen Colbert is to be believed — Daft Punk square off in a song-of-the-summer competition. But 'N Sync has managed to steal the thunder.
"We're just hoping we're not doing anything after them because anything after 'N Sync this year is going to be irrelevant," One Direction's Harry Styles said.
One Direction didn't give any clues about its role, and MTV has kept many details about the two-hour show under wraps. Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, A$AP Rocky, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jared Leto and last year's host Kevin Hart (MTV has chosen to go without a host this year) are scheduled to participate, and former NBA player Jason Collins, who recently acknowledged he is gay, will introduce Macklemore and Lewis' marriage equality anthem "Same Love."
The Seattle duo is the surprise of the year and is up for six awards, as is Timberlake. The Seattle rap crew has the top song from the first half of 2013, "Thrift Shop" featuring Wanz, one of five songs up for the top honor: video of the year.
Justin Timberlake and fellow lead nominees Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are scheduled to perform, but that's just the start tonight at the Barclays Center, where the show kicks off at 9 p.m.
ASSOCIATED PRESS Enlarge
Timberlake — who's won seven moonman trophies — has the year's best-selling album, "The 20/20 Experience," and his follow-up "The 20/20 Experience: 2 of 2," is due out in September. His "Mirrors" is up for video of the year. Thicke's "Blurred Lines" featuring T.I. and Pharrell, Bruno Mars' "Locked Out of Heaven" and Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble" round out the category.
Mars has the next-highest number of nominations, with four. Pink, Cyrus, Thicke and Thirty Seconds to Mars have three apiece.
The show travels to Brooklyn and the brand new Barclays Center for the first time, which should change its vibe. It also will change the iconic moonman trophy. MTV commissioned Brooklyn artist KAWS to redesign the statuette for this year's show.

Ann Curry wept as she said goodbye to NBC's "Today Show" near the end of the show on Thursday morning.
"This is not easy to say," she said after the show returned from a commercial break at around 8:50 a.m. eastern time, "but this has been my last morning as a regular co-host of 'Today'."
She maintained her composure during that sentence but she delivered the rest of her farewell while shedding tears, even apologizing at one point for turning into "a sob sister."
Curry, 55, was surrounded by her colleagues on the "Today Show" couch as she spoke — Matt Lauer, Al Roker and Natalie Morales. She thanked them all, and also expressed her gratitude to the show's staff.
She even thanked the show's top producers, even though it was they, along with top brass at NBC News, who determined that she wasn't the right fit to continue as Lauer's co-host.
She also thanked her viewers. "I'm going to have a new title and a new role," Curry said, "and this not as I expected to ever leave this couch after 15 years, but I am so grateful, especially to all of you who watch because Matt and I and everyone who sits on this couch, we often call ourselves a family, but you are the real 'Today Show' family'."
"You are why I have ventured into dangerous places and interviewed dictators and jumped off of planes and off of bridges and climbed mountains and landed in the South Pole and convinced the Dalai Lama to come [to] our studio," Curry said. "I have loved you and I wanted to give you the world, and I still do."
"They're giving me some fancy new titles, which essentially means I'm going to get tickets to every big story we want to cover with a terrific team of my choosing. We're going to go all over the world, all over this country at a time when this country and this world needs clarity," she said.
"We're going to do great work, I hope, and we're being given the chance to do the work that most of us got into journalism to do. And these stories are going to air on all the platforms of NBC News, including here on 'Today'," she said, her voice breaking into sobs.
To NBC's credit, "Today" producers generously gave Curry the time she needed to ramble a bit in her farewell speech.
Through tears, she continued: "And, after all these years, I don't even know if I can sleep in anymore. I'm not even sure I can, but I know that whatever time I wake up, I'll be missing you and I'll be believing you. I love all of you, especially all of you who are behind the scenes, behind the cameras, I love you guys. … And I love all of our brilliant, brilliant producers, and for all of you who saw me as a groundbreaker, I'm sorry I couldn't carry the ball over the finish line, but man, I did try.
"And so, to all of you who watched, thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting me touch yours. And thank you for your tweets and your e-mails and for your support, and I will keep trying, and I'm so sorry I've turned into a sob sister this morning. Please forgive me!"
All three of her colleagues then took turns thanking her and showing their appreciation for her work and friendship. Curry had been associated with the "Today Show" for 15 years, as a correspondent, news anchor, substitute co-host and then, finally, as full-time co-host with Lauer, starting a little over a year ago.
But in the last two weeks, news leaked from NBC that "Today" producers were seeking to replace her, citing a lack of chemistry between Curry and Lauer as one reason why the show's ratings have fallen off recently.
Savannah Guthrie is the NBC News personality most often cited as Curry's probable replacement.
