Uganda Presidency Buying Votes As Election Approaches
The orgy of bribery also speaks loudly as to how Gen. Museveni has so totally corrupted Uganda. He has created a rich elite in Uganda --including his close relatives and senior party officials-- while the majority of Ugandans suffer from poverty, decaying infrastructure, schools, and hospitals.
Heading into Friday's presidential election in Uganda, dictator Yoweri Museveni has apparently designated his brother,
Gen. Salim Saleh, as his consigliere, or "briber in chief."
Gen. Museveni seems to have decided; if I can't woo the voters, let me just buy them. Gen. Saleh, according to local media reports in Uganda has been traveling the country and unloading money on potential voters and opposition regional party leaders, to switch sides, around the East African country. Museveni himself has been photographed by local newspapers doling out "brown envelopes" filled with cash during his own campaign tours.
The blatant arrogance of this corruption is another affirmation of what U.S. ambassador to Uganda, Jerry Lanier, wrote to his bosses at the State Department about, according to cables leaked by WikiLeaks and published by the U.K's The Guardian newspaper.
Lanier wrote that even junior officials in Gen. Museveni's own ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party were "critical of Museveni's unwillingness to hold senior NRM leaders - such as Security Minister (Amama) Mbabazi, Foreign Minister (Sam) Kutesa, and Trade Minister (Kahinda) Otafiire among others - accountable for corruption allegations." What's more, Lanier wrote, "The NRM's near total accumulation of power has led to poor governance, corruption, and rising ethnic tensions, a combination that threatens Ugandan 'democracy' and stability."
In another memo Lanier wrote that he had received credible information that Mbabazi and Energy minister Hilary Onek, had been bribed by a foreign oil company and that the money spirited to a secret account.
Now Museveni's brother, Gen. Saleh is inviting more Ugandans to partake in the corrupt practise. According to a local newspaper account, Gen. Saleh bribed Mubarak Kirunda, who leads the Forum For Democratic Change (FDC) opposition party's efforts in the industrial city of Jinja, with $10,000 to switch his allegiance to Museveni's NRM party, and also to mobilize voters in the important region of Busoga, to support Museveni.
Readers' surveys in botth The Daily Monitor, the country's independent newspaper, and The New Vision, the government paper, show the FDC's leader Dr. Kizza Besigye beating Gen. Museveni on Friday.
In addition to the $10,000 inducement, Gen. Saleh had also reportedly agreed to introduce Kirunda to his brother, the Don himself, Gen. Museveni. When news of the bribe was reported in Uganda's Daily Monitor, Gen. Saleh called the newspaper to declare that Kirunda was mistaken, and that the $10,000 was in fact a payment for a legitimate business deal that the
two individuals had been negotiating. Kirunda sticks by his story.
In an interesting twist, Gen. Saleh has demanded that his $10,000 be returned. In an even more interesting twist, Kirunda has asked Gen. Saleh to produce a receipt or any documentation with his signature.
Gen. Saleh who enjoys sibling immunity, is no stranger to big time corruption. A United Nations Security Council report implicated him and other senior Uganda military officers in the loot of Congo's riches during Uganda's occupation of the country. Perhaps not surprisingly, both the other senior Uganda officers implicated by the U.N., Brigadier Noble Mayombo and Gen. James Kazini both suffered mysterious deaths in Uganda.
Yet the desperate ploy by Gen. Saleh on behalf of his brother is an indication that the U.S.-backed dictator, Gen. Museveni, is not all that confident about his chances at the polls come Friday. Perhaps the two sibling generals smell something funny in the winds blowing in from Cairo?
The orgy of bribery also speaks loudly as to how Gen. Museveni has so totally corrupted Uganda. He has created a rich elite in Uganda --including his close relatives and senior party officials-- while the majority of Ugandans suffer from poverty, decaying infrastructure, schools, and hospitals. The Daily Monitor reported recently that patients rushed to Kampala's Mulago Hospital with injuries, including broken bones from accidents sometimes wait for up to five months to get x-rayed. Some patients reportedly demand that they be discharged so they can go and die at home.
So what is Gen. Museveni's priority even after 25 years in office? To improve the hospitals and the roads and the schools? Hardly--it's to win at all cost even if it means bribing the entire country.
Ugandans hold their head up high and pocket the money, which is rightly theirs through embezzled funds anyway. Come Friday, they should do the right thing and vote for the candidate of their own choice.

Advertisement With sport-oriented video games becoming more and more realistic, professional athletes are beginning to sneak them into their training regiments in order to stay sharp and focused. For example, NASCAR drivers who can't test-drive actual racetracks use the video game versions to "learn new tracks or refresh their memories about courses they have raced on before."Sure, there are some who maintain that video games are a distraction—even when simply used as an enhancement to existing training regiments—and could actually be harmful to an athlete's performance.

The haeredes package
Haeredes is primarily useful for ISP network administrators. Customers will occasionally decide to switch hosts without alerting the current host; this can cause two problems:
With NS records, the previous host (at the very least) keeps hosting a DNS zone that does nothing. If that host uses their authoritative nameserver as a caching lookup server as well, it may return incorrect results to queries about the domain in question.
For MX records, the situation is slightly worse. Most mail servers will immediately accept mail for which the server thinks it is the ultimate destination. If a mail server is configured as the destination for a domain, but it is not the MX for that domain, then mail submitted to that server may possibly be lost. It is therefore important to remove domains from the old mail host as soon as the MX record is changed.
Haeredes can alert administrators when NS/MX records are changed. More detail can be found in the man page.
Make sure example.com has the expected name servers, [ab].iana-servers.net:
$ haeredes a.iana-servers.net b.iana-servers.net <<< "example.com"
If you use --no-append-root and your nameservers are rooted, you must remember to supply the trailing dot yourself. Otherwise, you'll get false positives.
$ haeredes --no-append-root \ a.iana-servers.net b.iana-servers.net \ <<< "example.com" Domain "example.com" delegates somewhere else: "b.iana-servers.net." "a.iana-servers.net."
Check orlitzky.com against the expected name servers, using d.gtld-servers.net:
$ haeredes --server 22.214.171.124 dns1.viabit.com dns2.viabit.com \ <<< "orlitzky.com"
Check orlitzky.com against only one of the expected two nameservers:
$ haeredes dns1.viabit.com <<< "orlitzky.com" Domain "orlitzky.com." delegates somewhere else: "dns2.viabit.com."
Check a nonexistent domain (we provide no delegates, since we know .invalid will not be delegated):
$ haeredes <<< "example.invalid" Domain "example.invalid." not delegated.

Create your own engraved beer mug! (or give a great personalized present)
We'll be taking a dollar store beer mug and turning it into something much nicer - just in time to celebrate the New Year!
Although I'll be using a Cricut vinyl cutter to make a stencil for your name, you can do this without a Cricut by various other tracing methods, and cutting the vinyl with an exacto knife. (So the choice is - use the right equipment, and it's an easy project; or do it the cheap way and it'll exercise your artistic talents a lot more!) If you don't have a Cricut, either this Instructable or this one will show you how to skip that step. And of course a lucky few with a laser engraver could use that instead.
Now let's get started...

Product Highlights
Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard provides a full set of professional tools for graphic design, page layout, and image editing – and for publishing creative content to mobile devices, the web, print, and tablets. The Design Standard suite comprises four industry-standard software programs that are essential to print designers and digital publishing professionals: Photoshop CS6, InDesign CS6, Illustrator CS6, Acrobat X Pro, Bridge CS6, and Media Encoder CS6.
The CS6 versions of the individual programs enjoy speed and performance enhancements, thanks to the Mercury Graphics Engine that's in Photoshop and the Mercury Performance System of Illustrator. Both these software elements enable your 64-bit computer to address full system RAM in order to speed imaging and processing tasks and that once slowed down your workflow. With that extra processing power, you can enjoy the expanded capabilities of all the programs. Photoshop CS6, for instance, offers a Contact-Aware Patch that allows you to choose a sample area that serves as the basis for a patch. Illustrator enables you to convert raster images into editable, scalable vectors – the program's bread and butter.
As the definition of "publishing" expands, so too do the functions of Adobe InDesign. Even before the CS6 version, the program had already embraced publishing interactive page layouts to iPads and other tablets, e-book readers, and other digital devices. You can create several different layouts to serve different display dimensions, and save them all within a single file. Liquid Layout automatically resizes your layout based on page size.
Creative Suite 6 Design Standard serves the design and publishing professional whose demands grow as quickly as technology advances. Photoshop CS6, for instance, now offers basic video editing functions with transitions and effects. Bridge CS6 digital asset management software is a powerful photo and design organizer that provides centralized access to all your creative assets. Media Encoder CS6 automates the process of creating multiple encoded versions of source files, Adobe Premiere Pro sequences, and Adobe After Effects compositions. As the required tasks of your profession creep over from other professional realms, Adobe continues to refine the interface and workflow of its Creative Suite applications. Your job might not be getting any simpler, but Adobe CS6 Design Standard helps you keep pace with expanded functions, improved performance, and streamlined workflow.

I am a "NASA brat." When I was young, my dad would bring home from NASA Lewis (now Glenn) Research Center in Cleveland the newest photos of the astronaut crews and the planets. My father and I shared a special "space bond." Together we watched the first Moon landing Apollo 11), mourned the Apollo 1 flash fire, and cheered as Apollo 13 returned safely to Earth.
So when the Space Shuttle Columbia broke apart on re-entry Feb. 1, my heart ached as if those killed in the tragedy had been cousins or friends of mine. Unfortunately, as when Columbia's sister ship, Challenger, blew up in 1986, naysayers and critics of the space program have been quick to question the relevancy of space exploration to life on Earth.
Space travel is relevant. The medical and technological advances made through the space program have spun off into advances in everything from patient care, medical procedures and testing in hospitals to materials used in clothing and home insulation.
But the most poignant and important significance of space exploration is in the realm of the spiritual. Consistently, coverage of the Columbia tragedy has mentioned the deep faith of the seven who lost their lives: faith in God, faith in each other, faith in humankind's vision for the future. The women and men aboard Columbia were members of faith communities and felt blessed to be part of the shuttle program, which they considered a dream come true. They were prayed for before lift-off by churches, mosques and synagogues around the world.
The Rev. Steve Riggle, pastor of Grace Community Church in Houston, told CNN of Commander Rick Husband's final instructions in the event of a tragedy, written before Columbia lifted off. Husband wrote, "Tell 'em about Jesus. He means everything to me."
Like their predecessors in the Apollo, Gemini and Mercury programs, shuttle astronauts see our home planet from a place "away from home," and are changed by it. I remember a show on public television in 1989, on the 20th anniversary of Apollo 11. One after another, the astronauts interviewed on that program talked about how profoundly their faith had been positively affected by the experience of space travel, how awed they felt gazing at Earth from the moon. Their words remain inspirational to me.
A decade later, on Apollo 11's 30th anniversary, former astronaut Buzz Aldrin wrote, "Beyond all rationales, space flight is a spiritual quest in the broadest sense, one promising a revitalization of humanity and a rebirth of hope no less profound than the great opening out of mind and spirit at the dawn of our modern age."
Astronaut Janice Voss, whose first shuttle flight was in June 1993, was asked a few years ago about sunrises in space. "It feels like a door is opening on the secrets of the universe," she said.
It is this coming together of spiritual vision and practical advances that makes the space program not only relevant, but essential, for humankind.
Gene Cernan, the last person to leave footprints on the surface of the Moon (Apollo 17), remembers that, as he looked out from the lunar Taurus- Littrow landing site, "the Earth stood still in the inky southwestern sky, my silent guardian star." He has written eloquently about seeing the Earth in the context of space:
"I'm not an overly religious person, but I certainly am a believer, and when I looked around, I saw beauty, not emptiness. No one...can see such a sight and deny the spirituality of the experience, nor the existence of a Supreme Being, whether their God be Buddha or Jesus Christ or Whoever...Someone...placed our little world, our sun and our moon where they are in the dark void...It is just too perfect and beautiful to have happened by accident. I can't tell you why it exists...only that it does, and I know that for certain because I have been out there and I have seen the endlessness of space and time with my own eyes."
In times of great tragedy or change, people are forced to look within, to examine their relationships with God and each other, to grow in their faith, discover new paths on their faith journeys. The human experience in space is the challenge to us now. It is a chance to see humanity and our planet as the global community so many write about. It could be a springboard, finally, to our coming together as a planet. It can help us understand the work of God in the broader context of the entire universe.

Last week, President George W. Bush asked Congress to extend extra time to illegal aliens waiting for a green card.
Called 245i, the extension would allow illegals to avoid a provision of the 1996 immigration law that prohibits re-entry into the U.S. for up to 10 years. Applicants could be legalized here rather than first returning home for an extended period.
Since the re-entry requirement is intended to punish people who violate immigration law, granting a green card without the 10-year wait mocks existing laws. And those new legal-residents who took advantage of the loophole before the April 30 deadline rushed to marry so that they could apply for a green card for their new spouses. That sham debases the sanctity of marriage.
In a nutshell, 245i sums up our immigration process. The national interest is subordinate to whatever is expedient. Shifts in the political wind dictate immigration policy.
Over 640,000 illegal aliens took advantage of 245i before it expired April 30. Another 200,000 wait in the wings for Congress to act.
Congress sanctions illegal immigration, the mainstream media embrace it and religious organizations advocate for it. Supporters claim that it's a victimless crime.
Nothing is further from the truth. Nearly 15 million illegal aliens live in the U.S. Each new law-breaker depresses the wage scale for the working poor. Schools, bursting with non-English speakers, can no longer attend to the needs of those already enrolled. Court and health care costs soar.
Bush's new hero, Mexican President Vicente Fox, champions the cause of Mexican workers in the U.S. Since taking office, Fox has demanded better working conditions for Mexican migrants. Fox created a cabinet-level agency to work on issues for Mexicans in America. His cabinet works tirelessly in Washington to demand higher wages and better living conditions for Mexicans.
Fox's goal is open borders between Mexico and the U.S.
Unfortunately for Mexicans living in Mexico, Fox doesn't have the same concern. In his five months in office, Fox, who has had a lot to say about how the U.S. conducts its affairs, has not spoken one word about the tragic plight of Mexican field workers.
To learn how Mexico treats its laborers, see the front page New York Times story May 6, "At Home, Mexico Mistreats its Migrant Farmhands" by Ginger Thompson. The story is available in the Times archives.
(Editor's note: Access to The New York Times on the Web is free but users must register. Free access to the Times archives is available only for the previous two weeks. The above link will expire May 20.)
According to Thompson, Fox himself was guilty of having children as young as 11 work as vegetable pickers on his family ranch. At first, Fox denied using child labor saying: "This is not an issue for me. It is an issue for other whose names are Fox."
Fox later admitted that his family employed minors and dismissed more than 20 underage children from his ranching and packing plants.
Labor violations and corruption in Mexico are rampant. Mexico's minister of social development, Josefina Vasquez Mota, told Thompson "the lack of respect for the law in the countryside hurts the most vulnerable people in our country."
And sociologist Hubert C. de Grammont added, "It is difficult to try to defend the human rights of migrants in the U.S. when migrants are disrespected and ignored in our own country."
The jornaleros (day laborers), half of whom are women and 30 percent are children under 15, live in tin huts. Each working family gets one room to share among a dozen or more people. Workers are in the field from dawn to dusk earning no more than a few dollars a day.
Thompson quotes Patricio Gomez: "No one defends us. They do not pay us what they promised. And if we are sick, they do not give us the medicine we need."
Given the disgraceful working condition of Mexican farm laborers, it's amazing that Bush isn't chastising Fox instead of trying to cozy up.
Here are some suggestions Bush, Fox and all others who ceaselessly press their agenda for illegal immigrants.
For Bush: Remember that you are elected to carry out the will of the American people. Overwhelmingly, Americans want illegal immigration controlled. Americans do not want amnesties, guest-worker programs, driver's licenses for illegals or open borders.
While hard-working Americans pay $2 a gallon for gas and suffer through rolling blackouts, their tax dollars keep fuel in Air Force One and allow you to run the White House air conditioner full blast. Respect their wishes.
For Fox: Stay home. You have plenty to do in Mexico. Stop telling America how to do things. Let's talk after you've reformed Mexico. By the way, don't call us. We'll call you.
For the mainstream media, religious organizations and other illegal immigration apologists: Instead of encouraging law-breaking, use your very considerable power and influence to lobby to change immigration law in accordance with your views. Instead of encouraging people to subvert the law, use the democratic process.
For Maldef, La Raza, Lulac and other Latino advocacy groups: Stop complaining. Apply your boundless energy and passion to lobby for change in Mexico. Mexicans are treated better north of the border than south.
Remember that if the U.S. were a bad place for Mexicans to live, there wouldn't be 15 million of your countrymen here.

A cartoon beaver, bright-eyed and bushy, muscles flexing, appears to have broken out from within the red can; aluminum-coloured edges jag around him. No pusillanimous mascot, he has slung a hockey stick over his shoulder and his face sports an aggressive expression. "Canadian BEAVER BUZZ" reads the can. Below, the phrase "Dam good" and a black maple leaf appear. Blazoned on a black band at the top we find a list of herbs, stimulants, and vitamins.
Someone realized that the lack of an expressly Canadian trendy energy drink represented a gap in that market, and Beaver Buzz was born. Sold by the Double D Beverage Company of Kelowna, British Columbia, it represents an impressive entry into the energy drink market. Its sales at present aren't a patch on the better-known brands, but for those interested in such refreshments, it has much to recommend it. It costs slightly less than Red Bull, and contains as much taurine, more caffeine and vitamins, plus guarana and ginseng. Of course, like most pop energy drinks, it also contains a significant amount of sugar. At 140 calories for each 250 milliliter can, the Buzz is heavier than many similar beverages.
In terms of its sensory appeal, Beaver Buzz has the same urinesque colour as Red Bull and a fairly strong citrus taste. They also market "Saskatoon Beaver Buzz" which has an overly sweet berry flavour. In place of a hockey stick, the mascot holds a lacrosse racket.1
At present it's not as widely available as many of its competitors, even in Canada. While the manufacturer's budget and the product's relative newness play a role here, its limited name recognition in 2006 also reflects a cunning approach to its initial marketing. More and more drinks of this sort split the market, and their long-term sales often involve establishing hipness. Consumers can be unpredictable and crotchety; forced attempts at cool often close markets. Any beverage sporting a cartoon mascot matched only by the old Thrush Muffler bird2 for self-conscious edginess hopes to be regarded as cool. Rather than muff up its acceptance in this sometimes difficult market, Double D has chosen a gradual approach: websites and sponsorships and Beaver Buzz Girls, rather than saturation advertising and expensive commercial spots. Clearly, the company hopes consumers will be made receptive through the gradual spread of the brand. In 2009, they made some headway into the American market, and later began selling their product in the U.K. as "Bulldog Buzz."
For those who eschew the warnings and combine your energy drinks with alcohol, Beaver Buzz's citrus taste makes it a pretty good mixer. Do consider those warnings, however. This product isn't meant to be consumed in vast quantities, and stimulants mixed with alcohol can prevent the drinker from realizing how intoxicated he or she has become.
For those who eschew pricey, trendy energy drinks, nothing about Beaver Buzz will change your mind. Those already inclined to consume Red Bull or SoBe Adrenaline Rush, however, may find it a tasty pulse-accelerator.
1. UPDATE: Since this writing, they've introduced other products, including sugar-free grapefruit-flavoured Pink Buzz and Buzz Green Tea. 2. Thrush has cleaned up its appearance somewhat. For those of you who were not around in the 60s through to the early 80s, picture Woody Woodpecker's evil twin, smoking a cigar while driving full throttle.

What's the capital of Washington? These kids don't know
What's the capitol of Washington state? Come on guys… you know this one. You live there.
…PHOTOS: High school students walk out to protest education cuts
Betty White is now a WSU Cougar
The 89-year-old actress was given an honorary degree and a white doctors coat at the Washington State Veterinary Medical Association's centennial gala in Yakima earlier this month, according to the Associated Press.
White has long been a donor to WSU because of a friendship with Southern California veterinarian and WSU alumnus Bob Olds. She's also a friend of the Woodland Park Zoo.
…Amanda Knox wants to return to the University of Washington
But he said that eventually, she'd like to return to the UW and finish her degree. Knox was studying foreign languages and writing when her life was disrupted by murder charges.
…UW ranks with Stanford, Yale for… beauty?
As in, "Wow, this is a pretty university."
The UW is one of "America's Most Beautiful College Campuses in the eyes of Slate. Other campuses named to the list include Stanford, Yale, Princeton, Cornell and the University of Virginia, among others.
…PETA targets UW with 'murder' billboards
The ads, posted below, will be featured on mobile billboards and gas pumps in Seattle. They feature the tagline: "If You Call It 'Medical Research,' You Can Get Away With Murder."
…1,500 people smell 'rotting flesh' at UW
PHOTOS: DanceChance performance at PNB
Drunk in the woods? Don't eat the killer mushrooms
But thousands die ever year from eating mushrooms that shouldn't be anywhere near your plate — let alone your mouth.
A Washington State University professor recently tackled the issue of poisonous mushrooms in an essay, pointing out that many deaths and mushroom-related illnesses could be avoided if people would stick to one simple rule.
When you're getting drunk in the woods, don't eat things you find growing on the ground.
…'Corpse flower' to bloom at UW, will stink like rotting meat
There's a giant one getting set to bloom on the University of Washington campus, and it's expected to release a foul stench on par with latrines, gym bags or over-boiled cabbage.
Technically called an an Amorphophallus titanum, the monstrous plant produces a rare, "corpse flower." The nickname comes from the plant's native Sumatra, where its stench is equated with death.

400 hundred homes evacuated after railcar leak
WILLARD, Ohio — A city official says authorities have contained a spill at a northern Ohio rail yard where potentially flammable liquid leaked from a railcar, prompting the evacuation of hundreds of nearby homes.
Responders and cleanup workers from transportation company CSX Corp. were at the scene today in Willard, about 65 miles southwest of Cleveland.
City Manager Brian Humphress said that liquid leaked from a 4-inch hole in a 26,000-gallon tanker for several hours before it was resealed. He says cleaning up may be a long process.
It wasn't immediately clear what caused the leak. The liquid was believed to be styrene monomer, which is used to make various plastic and rubber products.
Residents were told overnight to evacuate an area encompassing an estimated 400 homes.

The SDK could help Motorola's Xoom tablet, which is the first tablet using Honeycomb. Xoom is scheduled to launch Friday, and a steady stream of apps that take advantage of its 10.1-inch touchscreen and Honeycomb's tablet-optimized features could help the device in its uphill fight to gain a foothold in the iPad-dominated category. Honeycomb-based tablets are also expected from Toshiba, Samsung, LG, Acer, ASUS and others in the near future.
Honeycomb in the Tablet Wars
Three weeks ago, Google shipped a preview version of the SDK. The company said improvements since then include the ADT plug-in, a new app palette with categories and rendering previews, a more accurate rendering of device-specific layouts, selection-sensitive action bars to manipulate View properties, improvements to zoom, and improved support to merge layouts and create layouts with gesture overlays.
Honeycomb could become a major factor in the tablet wars, as it will be the key to establishing Android's position as a tablet-specific alternative to Apple's iPad and iOS.
Earlier this month, Hewlett-Packard unveiled its TouchPad tablet, which uses a tablet-optimized version of webOS. HP has been open about the fact that the webOS platform was the single largest reason it acquired the struggling Palm last summer for $1.2 billion.
There's also Research In Motion's new PlayBook, which uses a RIM-specific OS, and a variety of Windows 7 tablets.
Gingerbread 2.3.3
Samsung's Android-powered Galaxy Tab has reportedly sold two million units, but it uses the earlier Android version 2.2, which was adapted for tablet use by Samsung. Before Honeycomb, Android was specifically designed for smartphones and similar form factors. Google has emphasized that the new OS was designed "from the ground up" with tablets in mind.
The exact features of Honeycomb are still being revealed, but extensive multitasking, a range of customizable widgets, support for near field communication e-wallets, a new system bar with notifications, a revamped web browser with a 3D rendering engine, and a gyroscope are known.
While Google is priming application development for version 3.0, it's also rolling out version 2.3.3 of its smartphone-targeted Gingerbread OS. The first recipients are HTC's Nexus One and Samsung's Nexus S smartphones, which will be updated via downloads.
The newest version of Gingerbread includes the ability to write NFC tags in addition to reading them, better speech recognition, and API support for Bluetooth over a nonsecure socket connection.

Andy: A couple of guys and I were discussing whether, after the rcvr. binds to the trans, does the rcvr. send an RF signal back to the trans with pertinent info. More detailed on what we were talking about is binding two rcvrs. to the trans at the same time, can the trans. distinguish that there are two rcvrs. talking at the same time, back to the trans. Hope this doesn't sound too confoozing.

Hi Guys,
Before I buy anything, I like to run the numbers for a good comparison, from product to product. Bear with me please. In looking at the Spektrum DX8 radio, there are 2 ways to buy it. First, you could buy the whole package, which retails for $430.00. With the 10% discount that you can get from several websites, the cost would be 90% of the $430.00, which is $387.00. In looking at the sales in the Classifieds on this forum, you could sell the AR8000 receiver and telemetry stuff that come with the package for $110.00, meaning your net cost for just the radio is $277.00. If you don't want to spend the time selling stuff out of the package, you could buy the radio-only for a retail price of $350.00, but again, with a 10% discount, the radio-only would cost 90% of the $350.00 for a net cost of $315.00. Personally, I would spend the little bit of time to sell off the stuff from the package and save myself the extra $38.00 (the difference between the $315.00 and $277.00 from above. Now, let's look at the DX7s radio.... The package retails for $300.00. With the 10% discount, the net would be 90% of the $300.00, which is $270.00. If you sell off the AR8000 for the current selling price in the Classifieds, you can get around $80.00, which means the DX7s radio ends up costing $270 minus $80.00, which equals $190. So, bottom line, the difference between the DX8 cheapest price above...$277.00 and the price of the DX7s, $190.00, is $87.00. Now, I think with these numbers, I can make a better camparison. Do I want to spend an extra $87.00 for the DX8 vs. the DX7s, considering the additional features. In my case, I really don't care about the back-lighting and I don't need the extra channel. And, considering I can only hang about 20 planes in my home, I don't need the 30 model memory of the DX8....I can make do with the 20 model memory of the DX7s. I have yet to decide whether other features of the DX8 would make me want to spend $87.00 more. What's nice about the Spektrum radios is that you can buy the package deals and upgrade from one to the other without spending a fortune. For instance, I used my DX6I for 2 years, which I bought as a package and sold off the servos, etc. My original net cost was $100.00. When I sold it for $100.00 on RcGroups and upgraded to a DX7, which I also bought as a package and sold off the servos and RX, the DX7 net cost was $150.00. So, to upgrade from the DX6I to a DX7 cost me only $50.00, plus a little bit of my time to sell stuff on RcGRoups. Now, if I sell my DX7 and buy the DX7s, my net cost will probably end up being around $50.00 again. Not bad, considering all the features I gain with the DX7s, like the potential for using telemetry and the SD card feature, which I believe will allow me to back-up all the settings for my individual planes (which I now have to do writing everything down on paper). The DX7s also has better ergonomincs supposedly, better gimbles and also allows for future use of DSMX receivers in my planes. Oh, I almost forgot.....I really liked the roller-bar user interface of my DX6I radio and the DX7s uses a roller bar. I hope I've not confused anybody and would rather hope that I've provided a good comparison of the price differentials. And, like most products we consider buying, it's a matter of determining what we need or want and what we're willing to pay for. Mondo |

Mondo, that is the Way I look at things, too. Currently I have 2 perfect DX7's that I spent about $165 Each for...
I would gladly sold one or both of them to get a DX7s at $220... IF it had a backlit display. That is the one thing my DX7 needs. As it is, there just isn't enough there to justify Spending $50 more than my current DX7's (And aftermarket backlighting is another $50) and for a few dollars more you get a DX8. |
On my DX7, you can hear when its actualy transmitting, there is a slight hum... When you turn it on and you are NOT binding, the hum starts instantly, when you turn it on in bind mode, the hum doesn't start till the model is bound. If I turn it on and bind it to a Ultra micro DSM2 model the hum starts after about 4-5 seconds, right before the light goes solid. If I then turn both off, then turn the TX back on in bind mode, it "looks" for the DSM2 feedback for about 10 seconds before the hum starts. Then if I turn the UM model back on, it has lost its bind, because the radio is transmitting in DSM instead of DSM2. It seems if it doesn't receive some kind of "feedback" as you bind, it defaults to DSM, which has caused grief due to people accidentally pressing bind when turning on the radio, and then wondering why their DSM2 model has suddenly lost its bind... its because the radio didn't get a "DSM2" signal from the reciver, so it is now transmitting in DSM..... It also sucks power much faster when transmitting in DSM than DSM2... Of course the DSM/DSM2 is moot with this radio since it doesn't do DSM, but it works the same way, the reciver tells the radio when you bind which type it is, DSM2 or DSMX... |
bushings - plastic, metal, ,oilite,etc.. inc. no moving parts bearings- ball, roller, tapered roller, air,axial,end thrust etc.. inc. moving parts |
http://www.spektrumrc.com/DSM/Products/airRadios.aspx http://www.spektrumrc.com/Products/D...ProdId=SPM2710 http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=SPM7800 So, I'm guessing that after the "new" wears off(soon), the s will probably street for the $190 that you have calculated. There are many dealers that will sell TX only in order to put the RX in a kit/bundle or sell separately. |

Synopsis: Imaging localized states in graphene nanostructures
Graphene has attracted substantial interest in fundamental and applied research, which is partly motivated by the expectation of novel effects, and by the hope that graphene might complement silicon and other semiconductors in transistor technology. However, most of these prospects rely on successfully opening an energy gap in its otherwise gapless energy band structure. This can most easily be achieved by etching graphene into nanoribbons, which could act as the basic building blocks for more complicated nanostructures. Several research groups worldwide have succeeded in this endeavor. However, the microscopic nature of the gap and its effect on transport properties are still debated.
In a paper appearing in Physical Review B, Stephan Schnez and collaborators from the Solid State Physics Laboratory in ETH Zurich, study current transport in a graphene quantum dot connected to leads through two small constrictions. The researchers can locally alter the energy levels of the dot through an applied voltage from the sharp tip of an atomic-force microscope. Scanning the tip over the sample, they obtain current maps from which they deduce local electronic properties. Their measurements suggest that at least one localized state exists in the small constrictions within a small area, which strongly influence the coupling of the quantum dot to the leads. They infer a diameter of around for the localized states⎯an order of magnitude smaller than the characteristic dimension of the quantum dot. – Alex Klironomos

President Barack Obama laid out his vision for the country last night that include new gun regulations … climate change legislation … and a new immigration policy.
The president struck a forceful tone, telling the Congress if it failed to act on certain issues, he's willing to move his agenda without the legislature.
"I urge this Congress to get together, pursue a market based solution to climate change, like the one John McCain and Joe Lieberman worked on together a few years ago. But if Congress won't act to protect future generations, I will. I will direct my cabinet to come up with executive actions we can take now and in the future to reduce pollution, prepare our communities for the consequences of climate change, and speed the transition to more sustainable sources of energy," Obama said last night.
The plan the president mentions focuses around a cap and trade system. That's something that Senator Lisa Murkowski says is unlikely in this Congress. But she does appreciate his call for bipartisanship on such a contentious issue.
"That is much better suggestion and proposal than 'If you guys don't do what I hope you're going to do, then I'm going to use the backdoor and do everything through regulation,'" Murkowski says.
Senator Murkowski says she appreciates the president's plan to create an energy security trust … taking money from oil royalties to pay for renewable energy projects.
She says it's something she's proposed in previous energy proposals.
"It helps us pay for some of the good ideas. And these good ideas do not come without a price tag. And I think we recognize that's been the problem," Murkowski says.
The energy trust the president lays out would specifically deal with transportation fuels. Senator Mark Begich also likes the idea, so long as it meets certain criteria.
"It sounds like he's interested in revenue sharing in a broader way, putting money from oil and gas aside for renewable energy, in a sense is not a bad idea. But I would hope that doesn't take away some of the issues we have – which are revenue sharing for our local governments, tribes and communities that are impacted," Begich says.
In the most emotional point of the speech, Mr. Obama laid out a series of votes he want s the Congress to take … up or down motions on gun control … limiting the size of magazines and more background checks for gun sales.
The president will have a hard time getting Senator Begich on board.
"I have to see what they're talking about. At this point, there's no proposal on the table. I'd rather not be hypothetical. The second thing I'd say is I'm not interested in banning anything. Any amendment that comes forward with that, I'm not for," Begich says.
The one policy area of the president's speech that seemed to get every lawmaker of their feet was immigration. Congressman Don Young says that's the only issue this congress can pass in a bipartisan way.
In addition to hearing the president's ideas on immigration, Congressman Young says he was happy to hear talk of education reform, and changes to the federal minimum wage.
"I think he's right in that one sense – I think it should be tied to the cost of living," Young says.
Now that the president has laid out his vision for his country, he takes his message to the road.
He'll be traveling the next couple of days … to rally support for his plans, and hope his supporters will in turn, deliver the message to Congress themselves.

I'm wondering if anyone has an opinion regarding these possibilities:
1) Ciúnas USB to SPDIF Converter + Metrum Octave (the original, which lacks USB input, at roughly US $510 + US $849 = US $1359, currently)
2) Ciúnas DAC (at US $729, currently)
3) Metrum Octave MkII (at US $1230, currently)
4) Reconnessence Concero (at US $599, currently)
That's quite a spread in cost and the Reconnessence Concero or Ciúnas DAC could offer the most bang for the buck, but which combination "sounds best" and why, independent of cost (for use with a neutral amp and LCD-2 rev. 1 (or eventually, LCD-3)?

A couple years ago, the DEA got five of them banned, she said, and Congress is considering a bill that would make all of them illegal.
Dearden said the DEA has made some busts around the country but has not located any "hubs" where synthetic marijuana is packaged for distribution.

Thread: Live tracking app + website with live photo uploads?
01-11-2012, 03:43 PM #1Live tracking app + website with live photo uploads?
Is there an app for iPhone that supports GPS live tracking in background and live photo uploads? I would like to track my holiday live with photos and it should be viewable live on website. I haven't found an app that does all this.
GPSed does just this apart from backgrounding which is disappointing. Most of the other apps upload the photos only when I have finished the trip.

Dr. Julius Cruse
Immunopathologists the world over contribute to publications feting UMMC pathologist
Jack Mazurak
Two scientific journals are publishing Festschrift editions to honor Dr. Julius Cruse in recognition of his 47 years of contributions to
and his role as mentor to scores of students, faculty and colleagues.
Cruse, Guyton Distinguished Professor of Pathology, Medicine and Microbiology, joined the University of Mississippi Medical Center in 1967 and still maintains a packed schedule as vice chair of
Festschrift issues are special editions composed of articles contributed by colleagues or students. The journal Experimental and Molecular Pathology published a Festschrift issue for Cruse in December 2012. A Festschrift issue of the journal Immunologic Research is scheduled for release this spring.
For Cruse, big-name immunopathologists came out in force. Researchers and professors from Israel, Germany, Italy, Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University, UCLA, the Salk Institute and other institutions contributed articles.
"I had no inclination these publications were coming," Cruse said. "I'm both humbled and honored that so many distinguished researchers would submit their work for the Festschrift issues."
The immunopathology sub-discipline grew from a scattering of microbiologist and immunologist researchers and theorists in the 1920s and '30s. Some trace their connections directly to Louis Pasteur.
By the late 1950s, when Cruse began exploring the newly defined field as a
Fulbright Scholar
in Europe, he met and surrounded himself with leading experts. Inside a decade, Cruse had joined that widening group of experts. And within half a lifetime, he'd become a pillar of the specialty.
Cruse completed his undergraduate degrees in chemistry and German at Ole Miss in 1958 and completed a research degree at the University of Graz Medical School, Austria, on a Fulbright scholarship. He then earned his M.D. and Ph.D. in pathology and immunopathology at the University of Tennessee Medical Units, now the UT Health Science Center.
After completing postdoctoral work, Cruse had a lecture in pathology appointment at UT Memphis, then joined the Ole Miss faculty in medicine and graduate studies as a full professor at age 29. In accepting the position, he became the University's first professor of immunology.
Cruse's first book, "An Immunology Exam Review Book," was published in 1971. It led off a list that includes the Illustrated Dictionary of Immunology and the Atlas of Immunology. To date, Cruse has written more than 300 scientific and medical research articles and served on editorial boards of numerous journals.
Dr. Noel Rose, professor of pathology at Johns Hopkins University and a leading expert and elder statesman in the field, wrote an article, "The Birth of Immunopathology: How I Went to Paris and Met Julius Cruse," for the December Festschrift issue.
Rose describes their first meeting when he toured Cruse through a laboratory at the Pasteur Institute where Rose was a visiting fellow. He immediately recognized Cruse's interest in immunology, pathology and the history of science.
"In the following years we remained in contact and I realized that he was equally active in promoting and improving communication among scientists," Rose wrote, noting that Cruse continues contributing to the recording of immunology's history and promoting scientific communications.
The force behind the two Festschrifts issues is Dr. Robert Lewis, a former student and longtime colleague of Cruse. He said keeping the efforts concealed became quite a task as Cruse serves as editor-in-chief of both journals.
"He's actually editor-in-chief of three journals," said Lewis, professor of pathology. "Keeping him out of what was going on was the difficult thing. We're both on all the same mailing lists so, in corresponding with the contributing authors, I had to be very careful."
Beyond his work in immunopathology, Cruse maintains other interests. Over half a century, he amassed a 3,000-plus volume collection of modernist poet and playwright T.S. Elliot's works.
Following Cruse's donation of the collection to the Christopher Keller Jr. Library in New York City in the 1990s, the archive was finally transferred to Emory University's Manuscript and Rare Books Library.

Drupal-powered enterprise: Three ways to capitalise on Drupal as a platform
Today, digitally savvy companies manage a growing set of web experiences. But the willy-nilly addition of standalone sites within the enterprise -- typically built on an array of technologies by disparate groups -- leads to wasted efforts, unnecessary expenses, and problems sharing content and capabilities. The solution is a consistent yet flexible and extensible platform for content delivery, based on Drupal. The Drupal-powered enterprise relies on a scalable content infrastructure while also reducing development and operating costs. There are three ways to capitalize on Drupal for web experience management.

What Pulitzer Nominee Susan Greene Has to Say About Leaving the Denver Post [1]
Back in December, columnist Susan Greene's sudden resignation from the Denver Post [5] seemed more or less typical of such exits. Editor Greg Moore sent a note to colleagues calling her a "passionate and tough journalist determined to give voice to the little guy," adding that her 12 years of contributions at the newspaper were appreciated (via Westword [6]). Greene vaguely added, "Sometimes you leave your job, and sometimes your job leaves you. My job left me." Now that Greene is writing for the Huffington Post [7], her tone has changed.
"The disconnect between my immediate boss and the real world was never so clear as the day word came that Tim Masters would walk free," writes Greene, who shared in a Pulitzer nomination in 2008 for Trashing the Truth [8], which chronicled how innocent people, including Masters, could be jailed. "She rolled her eyes at news of Colorado's first DNA murder exoneration and remarked something like, 'Great, so he can just go kill somebody else?'"
Greene, who calls herself a "recovering newspaper writer," goes on: "Two months after leaving the paper, I'm recovering from the joylessness that's all too common in daily print journalism. What once made newspapers great—challenging authority, giving voice to the community, being bold—is becoming the exception rather than the rule. The industry has lost its way. In my own experience, staying true to the Denver Post brand required a certain type of Stockholm syndrome."

Amazing what a 3rd night can do Part 2.
So we extended our raid week once again to include a third night and we downed Nef.
Things that contributed to our success…
- We stopped kiting Nef in phase 3. We held her in place along the east wall and everyone (except the adds tank and healer) stood between her and the wall.
- We pushed a pre phase 2 crackle. Not easy but needed to reduce fire in phase 3.
- We did not push a phase 2 crackle. With only 2 ranged it's not the easiest thing to do anyway.
- We didn't fail at interrupts in phase 2.
- We staggered cooldowns very well after phase 3 crackles.
The fight had been nerfed in 10's as phase 2 damage is greatly reduced but ultimately since we didn't push a crackle in phase 2 it really didn't help us much.
Our guild is now 2nd in 10's progression on server and a big Congo Rats goes out to Team Synergy for their Heroic progression this last week. Team Heraldz hopes to get some catching up done but alias we have a main healer out for the month of May so not sure how that is going to go… ugh.
4.1 has made swipe downright silly. I will be surprised if it doesn't get nerfed soon but we can always hope it stays. Multiple 20K+ crits from swipe is pretty funny though. I pulled 72K DPS on the Sindragosa trash as we ran into ICC to knock out the LK Heroic achieve we still needed for the guild. This was using swipe and berserk.
I am liking the new 5 man encounters released this patch. It is a great way to gear up for an alternate spec and the gear level prereq's make for less failed runs. ZA is WAY too easy IMHO if you ran it back in the BC days. The fights are the same but have been watered down for 5 mans. I was lucky and got a couple boom upgrades right away. (Helm and Shoulders, raiding has been cruel for casting leather). ZG is harder but fun.
Now that I have personally cleared all T11 normal content I can safely say the only fight where ranged vs melee balance can be an issue is on Cho. I still switch to Balance for that fight. As far as Heroics go we will see. In Heroic Hal I am a tank for drakes for the first half of the fight and we do fine with only 2 ranged. As we push forward now in BWD Heroics I will report back our success with only 2 ranged and myself as kitty and whether or not I have to run balance for us to have success.
OMG, I finished WOW.
After months of fighting and killing the Lich King on normal 10/25 man I was finally lucky enough to get the kill in Heroic 25. It's hard to put into words how satisfying it was to finally complete that fight at that level.
Many thanks goes out to the guild officers and members in Dsylxeic for finding a way to continue on in Wrath and not only get him down the first time a couple weeks ago but to continue to go through the content each week and help those of us that were not in on the first success. I watch many guilds fall apart this close to an expansion and the job the officers have done to keep the raids happening has been awesome.
On another note, I wanted to mention how they are rewarding Invincible. Unlike a lot of hard core guilds that would probably just loot council it out, they devised a method to take each persons time invested in ICC and create piece of pie that represents commitment. Each piece has a randomly assigned range of numbers 1-1,000,000 and a roll is done to see what piece and player wins. I don't know who thought this up but what an excellent way to fairly reward the people who you play with.
I was actually lucky enough to have my piece win last night, which has to be some kind of luck becuase I have to assume my slice is pretty darn thin (though I never really looked). I passed on the mount knowing there were quite a few players WAY more invested than I to get us to where we are now (Farming LK Hero 25) and people that having the mount would mean a whole lot more to.
Mounts are cool, but I play the game to have fun. I know many others get more satisfaction than I collecting mounts or rare game items so it didn't make sense for me to take it. It's the same reason I don't have Anzu, a Tiger or Raptor mount, yada, yada, yada…. just not fun.
Beating hard content is fun, and no mount could have been more satisfying than getting Light of the Dawn accomplished.
Now the Reins of the Icebound Frostbrood Vanquisher… That's a different story. That would be fun.
We are excited…
This Thursday our 10 man raid is finally getting back to LK 10 Hero attempts. It's only going to be about 2 hours worth but hopefully it will be all we need.
We look forward to our 10 man raiding for more than just achievements and downing difficult content but because of the fun we have playing together.
Hopefully we can shake the rust off quickly but we have not done anything as our complete 10 man since sometime in early June… Woof.
Earth, Wind, & Fire
Server First!
Thanks to the GM (Selmak) of my guild Dsylxeic (Well, not my guild but the guild to which I belong), for standing in with his DK for our fallen Warrior (his motherboard was fried).
So just an FYI to everyone out there, EW&F is not terrible at all. With current ICC gear most likely the largest problem you will have is not killing bosses too quickly. The hardest part of the encounter is timing the death and that is about it.
We went with 3 tanks, Pally, DK, and Myself (Yes, I still bear it from time to time), 3 healers (Pally, Disc Priest, Tree), and 4 DPS.
We start on Fire Dude, Misdirect him to the hallway entrance to his wing, DPS him while moving him to Stone dude. When Fire dude hits about 30% we go in on Stone Dude. When both are at about 25% I run along with 2 DPS and 1 healer to Storm dude and tank him and all the adds in the middle. 2 things I have to do…
- Don't stand in Fire.
- Pull spawned adds of my healer.
Basically the rest is just talking in vent and coordinating their demise.
After that we moved on to Hero LK, we are now making solid progress and finally saw phase 3? The room with all the spirits… well at least 1 person did… progress none the less.
A lesson in buttons, How to switch specs and survive.
So I was inspired to write about my UI button layout.
Our resident 10 man Pally Tank had switched up to Ret and was having some issues with button presses. It occurred to me at that moment I could break down my button layout in my UI and maybe help some ferals out there new to either spec maybe layout their buttons better.
First, get Bartender addon.
Here is my Kitty map…
Lets start with the most important row… the bottom row is keybound to my number keys. I play with 4 fingers (pinky on 7, fingers running to the right 8, 9, 0.). I can reach over and mash – and = or 5 and 6… sometimes I stretch and reach 4. 1 I have 7 on my Naga mouse keybound to the 1 key just for Vamp biting, otherwise I never hit 1.
So lets look at my layout for the bottom row…
- Autoattack
- Moonfire – This is for pesky horde that try to run with 100HP left after a beat down.
- Ravage – Just cause
- Maim – Valks or trash/Horde caster interrupts.
- Feral Charge (Cat) – comes in handy on lots of fights, in particular Heroic Prince ICC… a Feral game changer.
- Rake – in the rotation
- Savage Roar – in the rotation
- Shred – in the rotation
- Mangle – in the rotation… sometimes… when I am unlucky… or stuck in front 🙁
- 0 on the bar, Rip – in the rotation
- – on the bar, Prowl
- = on the bar, Dash
So I use my right hand on the mouse for movement, and my left mostly for 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 the meat of kitty DPS rotation. Lets look at bottom bar when Prowling.
So Bartender changes my buttons when I am in Prowl mode. My favorite combo is on boss opening I mash 7 for FF and quickly hit 8 for kitty charge before bartender makes the button corrections for coming out of Prowl. I have Dash, this is for PvP purposes, pounce and the usual other Prowl openers you would expect.
Ok, lets take a look at the middle row. FYI, I mouse click anything on the top 2 rows. I spend the bulk of my time from Cower over to barkskin. FF, Swipe, FB, TF, Berserk, and barkskin get used quite often. FR is right there on the far right in case I go bear and need some self heals (PVP or trash pulling). To the left of Cower you can see decurse which I use when needed on myself, then a macro labeled MIGHT… this is a fun macro for asking Pallies for might… we will leave it at that. Next is Abolish poison (PVP) and Challenging Roar (This should be Demo Roar, for PVP, I need to fix my bars.)
Finally the top row, from left to right…
- Rebirth – This gets liberal use.
- Hurricane – Just cause I can.
- Meld – Cause I like to live.
- Macro – Shift out and back into Cat (This is to break snares)
The next 5 are all healing, keeping myself or others alive in a pinch. Note that Tranquility is right above Barkskin, this is because 10/10 times you are going to Bark then Tranq. The last is the Rocket Pack for ICC Ship.
Next post I will break down my bear bars, most importantly I change very little in the top 2 bars when in bear form or spec which makes it worlds easier to find spells when I need them regardless of form or spec. Main attacks like Mangle also don't change so 9 in any spec of feral form is mangle.
Anyway, maybe this can benefit some people… if anyone sees a way I could be doing it better let me know… though old habits are hard to break.

How many of them are out of the portrait anyway? Seems like it's the four in front plus Bern and Lambda. Extra TIPS were what I thought Alchemist could put as extras in the PS3 games but seems like Umineko's "Rei" (Tsubasa) is going to consist of them. With EP8, Tsubasa and a fighting game coming out at the same time it looks like I won't have money to buy Higurashi at the end of this year after all. My guess of Legacy of the Golden Witch for the final title didn't match after all, but Twilight does have the sound of conclusion and fits with Dawn of EP6. Spoiler for EP7:

I hope there's no happy ending. I would really be pissed off if there is. I do however wish Erika or Dlanor and her group can be brought into the story even if for a brief minute or so.

The True Culprit
Although I can deal with, accept, and understand why it's probably impossible and inappropriate...
....I want a happy ending, goddammit. ;_; I've grown to love these characters more than I can handle. I still like the idea of having different endings on a sliding scale of fantasy/reality, where you have to peel back through the layers of fiction to figure out what really happened, the lowest score/highest fantasy ending being a happy, everyone lives and all is funderful ending. Wanna find out what really happened? Tear that shit apart.

I don't really take the smiling seriously, I mean it's probably just like that for the series's final portrait. Remember how EP4's was, with Battler's action pose?
And some of the portraits are like they are because they look cool and don't have any direct significance (like the creepy hand in EP5). |

I'm alright with just Battler and Maria(and Jessica, if that's not asking too much) surviving and returning to Ange to live somewhat happily ever (no more dying)after. Still, I can imagine R07 letting Battler live while letting him get shot or something and paralyzing his legs and Maria with a huge scar on her face. Just one more shot for us happy ending lovers.
Also, I have an actual image request: The new OP of the new fighting game. Could someone get stills of all the character portraits? Most of them kinda sped up to where you could barely see them.

I also want a happy ending, but I'm also interested on seeing it having a non-happy/sad ending. I mean, everything that had happened in Rokkenjima, it takes a miracle to have a happy ending. IIRC, it was mentioned before that it will have a bittersweet ending. Can't remember when though.
