About one thousand years into the future, civilization has been retrograded and humans are living dispersed within small communities. People in this era have a psychic power called "Juryoku" which materializes things they imagine. In the absence of advanced scientific technology, people are using this power as a major source of energy.
One day, a girl called Saki, along with her friends, finds a small archive robot outside the town. It records the ancient history of humans. It tells them that Juryoku was found in the 21st century and the discovery caused a world war between psychics and non-psychics. The psychics won this war and thus their reign of terror began.
When the adults in town figure out that the children discovered this forbidden knowledge, they seal their Juryoku and exile them. Saki and the others end up in a forest where they meet a huge hairless bipedal mouse known as a "Bakenezumi" and get involved in a violent war the creatures are currently engaged in.
The Characters
Saki Watanabe
VA: Risa Taneda
Saki is a new student at the magic school, "Saint Academy". Once she joins Saint Academy, she hangs out with Satoru, Maria, and Shun, her friends from Wakien Elementary School, as well as Mamoru, her new classmate. While she's not shy, she is sensitive and delicate.
Satoru Asahina
VA: Kanako Tōjō
Satoru has been friends with Saki since they were little. He has an outspoken personality, and is unafraid to speak bluntly. He often argues with Saki. While he doesn't mean ill by it, he tends to exaggerate things when he talks, so often people mistake him for boasting when he's trying to be serious.
Maria Akiduki
VA: Kana Hanazawa
Maria is Saki's best friend and a beautiful girl with pale, white skin and blazing red hair. She's very strong willed, and commands the weak, quiet Mamoru, but in times of need she devotes herself to protecting him. On the other hand, she does show a girlish fear of scary stories too.
Mamoru Ito
VA: Haruka Kudo
After joining Saint Academy and being put in the same class as Saki, he follows them around. He's a very shy boy, and rarely voices his own thoughts and opinions. Meanwhile, he feels very comfortable with the relationship between him and Marina, who leads him around.
Shun Aonuma
VA: Mai Todo
Another one of Saki's childhood friends. Shun is very clever, with a strong intellectual curiosity and mature manner. His marks in magic are excellent at Saint Academy, and many have high hopes for his future.

First Impressions
The preview screening is out and the previews looked pretty nice. It is labeled as Sci-Fi and Supernatural so expect some things to go out of this world. The music and characters' designs looks alright so far. However, the visuals is absolutely stunning and one that's pleasing to the eyes.
According to an interview, Yūsuke Kishi expressed his various ideas of coming up with the novel/series. The theme involving a supernatural dimensional war is a very intriguing topic. That and given the fact his novel won a Japanese Science Fiction Award makes it curious for anyone to watch this. This is likely one of those series that you can't help but see the way it presents itself in the world of science fiction from the eyes of a gifted writer.

I agree. I think this is the show I'm most excited about. Well, this and Robotics;Notes.
I will enjoy it in Japanese audio and HD with no subs, even more visually stunning
Episode 1
Wow, those visuals. Absolutely stunning! Need to watch this again on 1080p when CR's version debuts. But anyways, this pilot episode started off weird in a bloody way.
The eerie soundtrack and the visuals mixes in very well and reflects that futuristic like look and gives off a surreal atmosphere. I won't spoil much this episode but not too much happened. Still playing by the theme and genres, the upcoming episodes should be a brilliant watch.
Kana Kanazawa also plays her role well this episode. Glad to see her around.
Animanga hunter extraordinaire
Agreed, great concept, neat opening scenes, wish they had shown more about the inital impact but I guess that's not what it is about. Can't wait to see it properly here in HD.

A while back, I saw this blog post, written by a Global Voices blogger Juliana Rincón Parra, highlighting storytellers using online videos to raise awareness about hunger in the Philippines. Among other videos, the blogger pointed out one film in particular, called Chicken a la Carte, a touching video that has been viewed thousands of times after spreading virally on the web through social media sites and email.
This got me thinking, and wondering, about how else online videos are being used to raise awareness of issues and spread word about charities and organizations. It is clear that a short film or video, if done well, can be an incredibly effective at turning an issue we've heard of into something much more personal and emotional. And as the Chicken a la Carte film shows, sites like YouTube can facilitate a video's rapid and widespread broadcasting to mindboggling degrees.
Another example from a site that uses web videos to spread the word about its work better than any other organization I've ever seen is called charity: water. They do an amazing job of using evocative images and music to explain their cause and call people to action on their goal of bringing clean drinking water to people in poor countries. This background video has been viewed on YouTube more than 76,000 times, and the one below uses a rock song by Beck to raise awareness with a music video.
We wrote about another example in May about a music/audio project using sounds by survivors of the Sichuan - Wenchuan earthquake to raise awareness, and some money, for Chinese victims still in need. In this case, the video nicely describes a unique project.
Still, as I've wondered before, can these online projects – even if they are spread widely on the Internet – actually bring about change? How often do people who view something online and do more than just pass it along to their family and friends? Please share your thoughts, or other examples of interesting videos, in the comments below.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Las Vegas casino mogul Sheldon Adelson is giving $1 million to a "super" political committee aimed at helping conservatives get elected in Florida.
Federal filings show the new Freedom PAC supports "strong conservative candidates" in the state, like Senate contender Connie Mack. He's currently a Republican House member.
Adelson and his wife have given more than $20 million to GOP-oriented super PACs this election cycle. Most of that cash went to a super PAC working to get former House Speaker Newt Gingrich elected president.
The contribution was first reported Monday by the Sunlight Foundation.

My income dropped way off when I retired early last year, and I'm wondering if I fall into the so called "47 percent" of Americans who won't have to pay and income taxes this year. What can you tell me?

The driver of a car that hit and killed a Boulder cyclist while riding in Fort Collins in October has been issued a municipal citation.
Bradley Hansen, 50, was ticketed Nov. 6 for failing to yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic when making a left turn, according to a news release from Fort Collins police.
Police say Hansen was driving a pickup truck Oct. 8 when he hit Jim Fogelberg, 64, of Boulder.
According to police, Hansen was driving a 2004 Nissan Titan west on Harmony Road and made a left turn in front of Fogelberg onto Hinsdale Drive. The front of Fogelberg's bicycle collided with the passenger side of the truck.
Fogelberg was taken to Medical Center of the Rockies, where he later died.
He was wearing a helmet. Police do not believe alcohol, speed or distraction contributed to the collision.
His family told the Daily Camera that Fogelberg worked at Advanced Energy in Fort Collins and was taking a bike ride after a workout at a gym in Fort Collins when he was hit.
A "ghost bike" memorial ceremony will be held at the corner of Harmony Road and Hinsdale Drive at 2 p.m. Sunday, according to an email sent to the Camera by Rick Price, with the Fort Collins Bike Co-op and founder of the Bicycle Safety Institute of Colorado.
Members of the public are invited.

3 stars (out of 4)
On his 2010 album, "Love Letter,"R. Kellybegan strolling through his late mother's record collection, the soul ballads and stepping songs that soundtracked his young life while growing up on Chicago's South Side. They provided inspiration as he sang for pocket change at L stops and streetcorners, stepping stones on his way to headlining arenas.
"Write Me Back" (RCA), the 11th studio album of his career, is essentially a less-consistently strong sequel, spanning R&B from the '50s to '70s. Like its predecessor, its 12 songs contrast sharply to the bump-and-grind hits with which Kelly built his reputation and commercial success over the last two decades. His explicit, sometimes outrageously humorous dives into the libido were delivered with sing-songy directness and an attention to sonic detail – ticking hi-hats, sinewy synthesizers, layered vocals -- that led to more than 30 million album sales. Including his work with Aaliyah, Maxwell, Britney Spears, Michael Jackson and Michael Jordan, Kelly is a quadruple threat singer-songwriter-producer-performer whose hits span genres and generations.
All the while, his career has been shrouded by legal difficulties, most notoriously the child pornography charges that hung over him for years before he was acquitted in 2008. More recently he's been under I.R.S. scrutiny over $5 million in allegedly unpaid taxes dating to 2005.
Skeptics may regard "Love Letter" and "Write Me Back" as transparent attempts to ingratiate himself with an audience that doesn't quite know what to make of Robert Sylvester Kelly – an R&B star with a twisted reputation. These albums are designed to win him some nods of recognition from an older, more worldly crowd, the one that grew up on the adult soul of Donny Hathaway and Teddy Pendergrass. For the most part, they succeed.
Kelly has absorbed the work of those singers and integrated them into his own music. Their influence was always apparent in his gospel-trained vocal tone, his feel for domestic drama, but never quite this overtly. "Love Letter" drew a straight line back to those influences and was one of the more accomplished albums of his career, as if he were trying to pay tribute to his heroes by writing songs that evoked their sophistication and swing without flagrantly copying them.
"Write Me Back" dips into the same river of old-school soul, when singers donned suits and ties much like the ones Kelly sports on the album cover while posing in front of a vintage theater marquee. The opening "Love Is" poses a series of rhetorical questions, delivered in the time-honored secular-preacher style of Hathaway, Johnnie Taylor and other R&B greats: "How many of you are living witness that love is real? … How many of you know that love will be there for you when you're up and when you're down?"
On "Feelin' Single," he makes himself sound 20 years younger by singing in a higher register, evoking the boyish innocence of a Michael Jackson over a stepping dance groove accented with finger snaps. "Lady Sunday" smacks of Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes in their mid-'70s pre-disco heyday: uptempo orchestration gliding straight to the dancefloor. "Fool for You" could only be creamier if its obvious inspiration, Smokey Robinson in his "quiet storm" ballad mode, sang it.
But Kelly sounds out of his depth when he tries to rock – more Danny and the Juniors than early Isley Brothers as he takes on "Party Jumpin' " and dropping in lounge-act electric guitars for "All Rounds on Me."
Listeners may find themselves toggling between questioning Kelly's sincerity and admiring his facility as a producer and singer. On "Believe in Me," he overdubs his voice until it sounds like a choir, while chastely crooning, "Put your hand in mine, walk with me spiritually." The virginal preacher's son? It's not a role Kelly plays very convincingly.
A more apt model is Barry White, the R-rated '70s balladeer, whose legacy of lushly orchestrated seduction is all over this album. On the closing "Share My Love," the worlds of White and Kelly converge in a swirl of strings, piano and wordless vocals that smooths a path from the dancefloor to a palatial bedroom suite. "Populate! Populate!" Kelly chants in what is this album's funniest, most genuine moment.
So just as "Write Me Back" calls it a night, Kelly telegraphs his next move. The title of his next album? "Black Panties."

I've shed my hero worship of smart lawyers. Law is a tough and unrelenting business, molded by the need to earn a living. No lawyer can fully control the miscues of a client or the vagaries of the system. More than a few litigators fall prey to hubris.
But the verdict is clear: One lawyer, New York-based David Boies, has had an outsize impact on issues that matter in the valley. In ways both direct and oblique, the 71-year-old Boies has not just scored points in court. He has shaped the grounds of public debate.
An ascetic-looking man with the strategic sense of a chess master, Boies doesn't always win. No lawyer does. What makes him different is that even when he loses, he tends to be on the side of history.
Four cases involving Boies have deep local repercussions — and for residents of San Jose, the still-unfolding fourth might be the most newsworthy.
No one in Silicon Valley needs to be reminded of the first case, the antitrust proceedings against Microsoft in the late 90s. Boies represented the U.S. in seeking to rein in the software giant.
While Microsoft evaded a breakup, the company was tempered. And it has been eclipsed in the valley by Google, Apple and Facebook.
Then came Bush v. Gore in 2000. Boies represented Gore, and as we know, he lost. But he secured history's judgment. Bush started a bad war. Gore became an influential venture capitalist and won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Gay marriage
The third case edged forward Friday, when the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to review a challenge to the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
The justices also agreed to review California's Proposition 8, which Boies and former solicitor general Ted Olson — who represented Bush in Bush v. Gore — successfully challenged in a lower court. Whatever the high court's call, you have to think gays and lesbians ultimately will win the right to marry.
The last Boies case, a newsworthy one for San Jose residents, is the pension fight in Rhode Island. Boies is representing the hard-pressed state in its efforts to preserve pension cuts, including a suspension of annual cost-of-living increases for retirees.
It is a tough battle against union members who believe their contracts were breached. Among other issues, the judge on the case is earning a pension that will be affected. How the fight unfolds could shed light on the fate of San Jose's Measure B pension reform.
Phenomenal memory
Why does one lawyer have so much impact? It might start with a disability. Boies has dyslexia; he did not read until the third grade. He made up for it with a memory that rivals that of Deep Blue.
Maybe more importantly, Boies has gotten to the enviable place where he can take cases without having to worry how much they will pay. In the pension fight, he is charging the state of Rhode Island $50 an hour, a fraction of the $1,250 he usually bills.
It's dangerous to put any lawyer on a pedestal. But Boies might be the most acclaimed attorney of his generation. And one reason is that history smiles on his causes.

West Hollywood City Hall Removes Rainbow LGBT Flag
A rainbow flag that has been proudly waving on top of West Hollywood's City Hall since June 2013 has been removed following a unanimous vote by West Hollywood city council members.
According to the Los Angeles Times:
Councilman John Duran said the city is shared by gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and heterosexual people and that the flag's hanging above City Hall was inappropriate, even if the city was founded largely on gay rights.
West Hollywood "belongs to all of us," Duran said at one meeting. "It's not just a city of gay men. It belongs to heterosexual people as well, and City Hall belongs to everybody in this community, gay or straight, and let's not ever give the impression that City Hall has become exclusive to only one part of the West Hollywood community."
The move has been met with criticism by some. Larry Block, the West Hollywood resident and business owner that proposed that the rainbow flag be raised this past June, tells the LA Times:
"The shedding of the LGBT identity is happening slowly," said Block, a city council candidate for the 2015 election. "It's going with development, straight business owners… There's just a changing environment in West Hollywood."
After the flag was raised last summer, people came into Block's clothing store on Santa Monica Boulevard to hug him, he said.
"West Hollywood is a beacon of hope for gays and lesbians throughout the world," he said. "When tourists come into town, they're so proud of the fact that we're that special place for the LGBT community. … The rainbow flag is an inclusive symbol, not exclusive."
According to city officials, West Hollywood will continue to permanently fly rainbow flags in the medians at Santa Monica Boulevard between Robertson and La Cienega boulevards.
And, of course, WeHo still has its snazzy rainbow crosswalks.
Still, what do you think of the City Hall move, Instincters? What message does the rainbow flag's removal send?
Image Source
In ALL the 20 years I have known John Duran, I have NEVER got a sense of his turning his back on and/or abandoning the gay community. Today certainly
isn't an exception in regards to the flag. Before we all synchronize our torch lighting as the towns people in a Frankenstein movie, I would ask that you review
John's dedication in the gay community's memoirs carefully and see how intertwined and deep those passions run. I don't know much about politics,but I do know
John. John's whole career has been hinged on the welfare of the gay community and you wouldn't have to go very far to find someone that has been on the receiving
end of that advocacy. KNOWING John,I would place my last bet on the intention he had by rotating the flags was simply" inclusivity". THATS IT. THATS ALL. With
someone's background like John Duran's coupled with my OWN personal reflection in retrospect of how he has helped myself and MANY others (and before you think it,
No,I have NEVER slept with John). I simply cannot sit back and watch people mud-sling and try to belittle him and his deserving position he's worked HARD and
many years to be in his position politically and yes he IS a politician .but sell out. NEVER! Before you start accusing John of catering to hetero's and big money, ask yourself;
what does the entities accusing him of this have to gain? What is their agenda? Where does John live? answer:West Hollywood! In conclusion, what I have read concerning
undeserving comments about John's character...excuse my frankness...some of you would be well deserving of a individual capable of such. Fortunately for you all ,John isn't that person.
Dear Mr. Duran,
So without blowing smoke up my butt and quoting a useless array of figures, but instead being honest and forthright tell me why did you as a gay man vote to take this action? What is the message that you see it saying to the community by having it removed?
As I see it you have become very self-serving to the majority in order to further your political career and only managed to alleniate many of the the people who have gotten you where you are today. Shame on you, Mr. Duran. Sadly I don't see anything honorable about you anymore, I will certainly not be voting for you (as I have done in the past), and I hope that this is the end of your career in politics. And when you no longer are holding a public office take a moment to re-assess your over inflated ego.
I encourage everyone who has posted. DO NOT VOTE FOR PUBLIC OFFICERS WHO DO NOT TRULY REFLECT OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS. Use your vote to JUST SAY NO to these political social climbers.
One more time in my opinion John Duran is lecturing me as a resident on what is right? I personally find your comments to be condescending and not reflective of many in the gay community. I'm so glad myself and other activist were able to get term limits passed in #weho so we can have a healthier democracy and have rotation of leadership. Since you and the other long term council members have selfishly hung on to your council seats at all costs of integrity and blocked others from the chance to serve. You have alienated me as a constituent and 20 year resident at this point. Your approach to great hall right now in leading the charge to have it demo'd against the states historic register staff is full of disrespect to the community and the state officials. Many wonder who gains to profit from that land somewhere down the road? Or if your leading the demo because of your hard feelings about Protect Plummer Park and Term Limits. If you are, then your pulling a Chris Christie in my book. Public Property shouldn't be used as a tool for political revenge,! I'm glad Jean Doberman laid it out to you at council!
Why even rethink the flag? Love John Duran but it seems like people have way too much time on their hands at City Hall. The flag is beautiful and so what if the city's demographic is 40 percent LGBT, the city still is known for being a safe haven for the community.
Much like Little Tokyo, Chinatown, the Ethiopian district, Historic Filipinotown, Thai Town: I'm sure their demographic isn't a majority of what the district is called but honestly why would it matter?
Very sad
West Hollywood is 40% LGBT. While we have 4 gay councilmembers out of 5, the majority of our residents are not LGBT people. But to make it clear, no straight people complained about the rainbow flag over city hall. For 29 years, we have flown the flags over city hall that unite us: The US Flag, the CA flag and the City of West Hollywood flag. In 2001, I was the councilmember who sponsored the permanent display of rainbow flags on Santa Monica Blvd at 4 sites alongside the US Flag where the flags fly 365 days per year. I was also the council member who co-sponsored the rainbow crosswalks and supported adding the rainbow flag to our Sheriff's cars. NO other city in Southern CA flies the rainbow flags 365 days a year. It is nice to think that Gil Baker's rainbow flag design that he created in the 70's is a symbol for all. But reality check. Rainbow flags are a symbol for gay pride and understood world wide to be that. West Hollywood remains a beacon for LGBT people not because of our flag display. But because of the work we have done. The first city to create a domestic partnership registry in 1985, to demand marriage equality, where ACT UP LA was founded, where there is such a concentration of gay culture that you are presumed to be gay if you live here. But we didn't do it alone. We did it with straight allies who have also vigorously fought for gay rights with us including the many heterosexual members of council like Abbe Land, Lindsay Horvath, Helen Albert, Babette Lang, Sal Guariello and Alan Viterbi. And we did it without flying a gay flag over city hall all these years. There is no shortage of symbolism or substance for LGBT people in West Hollywood. Culture wars are noisy. LA County just voted to add a Christian cross to the county seal advocating for and in defense of the Catholic culture of Los Angeles. That was wrong. Because that Christian symbol is an affront to other parts of LA culture although the cross on the Missions is historically accurate. When the LGBT community holds political power with 4 out of 5 council seats, we will be evaluated on how we both used that power and practiced restraint to protect equality for all.
If it were "safe" to be gay in every city, town, nook, and cranny in the ENTIRE world, that's one thing -- but until then, there needs to be at least one city (and preferably many more) where the rainbow flag flies proudly, even from government buildlings. Any way you slice it, flags are always SYMBOLIC of the values of the local area (case in point, the controversy over the use of the Confederate flag in the south). If putting the rainbow flag up in West Hollywood expresses the official, administrative value of supporting gay pride, then, conversely, taking it down expresses the value of suppressing gay pride. This is about MONEY, and "selling out to the straights" now that gay money, gay people, and gay blood/sweat/tears have made West Hollywood "desirable", the straights come in, take over, and then need to be "accommodated" by not having their breeder little sensibilities "offended" within city limits. They don't like a rainbow flag? Fine; move to some city where the stupid "Chrisitan fish" flies on every billboard, business card, invoice, and Yellow Pages ad (we've all seen that). Just exactly what "message" is City Hall trying to send by taking down the flag? If that action were words, what would they say? That action devalues the principles of inclusion and gay-affirmative sentiment that the City of West Hollywood was founded on, not all that long ago, if people will just remember. What's next? Digging up the memorial plaques on the trees honoring people who died of AIDS and replacing them with "sponsored by Breeder Breeder, Inc."? To every straight real estate agent who is "comforted" and "relieved" by the removal of the rainbow flag so that their straight pre-approved-mortgage clients are not "offended" by the sight of it can FUCK OFF. We were here first, and we're not going away anytime soon. Having the flag fly on the official government building is a visual symbol that asserts that West Hollywood will remain one of the safest cities for gay thriving in America, as a matter of policy and priority. Anyone who is offended by the flag can live somewhere else. Those of who own property here, own businesses here, and have made this their spiritual or literal home for decades (like me) will welcome ONLY those straight people who are 100% behind us, without ANY accommodation to their sensitive little homophobic sensibilities that "get nervous" or "have concerns" at the sight of a friggin' rainbow flag. I'd vote for allowing public fellatio between men on the sidewalks, if only to prove that we are the ONLY city in America where we could do it without someone throwing a wooden cross out of their car windows at us doing it. There are countless places in America where gays are made to feel unwelcome and we have to suck it up to live and just survive in a climate hostile to the entire LGBT population. West Hollywood has not been, is not, and should
I have to agree with John Duran on this one. I can understand outcry from the community if the flag was flown since the city's incorporation in 1984. But the flag was raised in June of 2013, in what I'm assuming was for celebration for the fall of prop 8 and the ruling on DOMA. Which to me shows a city embracing it's majority and saying, "congratulations, let this city celebrate with you." Let's embrace that wonderful sentiment and be grateful we all have a city which truly celebrates and cares for all its citizens. Gay and straight. And let's not forget our straight brothers and sisters who have fought, marched and cried a long side us.
I agree, the rainbow flag is inclusive. It was never a symbol of lgbt rights, it has always been a symbol of equal rights for all. No matter the color of our love, culture, race, religion, gender, we all come from the same light. That is why it has been so embraced by the lgbt community to celebrate diversity and banish exclusion. Not the way this john Duran puts it. Should fight to reinstate the flag
As a 5 year gay resident in West Hollywood, the removal of the flag over city hall only confirms the regression the neighborhood is taking and it pisses me off. To me the pride flag signifies our neighborhood as a safe place to be ourselves and relish in who we are. I am totally sick of seeing these straight couples who shuffle their mini-skirts and 8 inch pumps into the clubs with their boy candy on their arm. They have the Sunset Strip just two blocks up so go there. West Hollywood is all we have. We have city officials coming into our neighborhood slapping fines, changing policies and closing clubs for 30 days and it is all about keeping the gays controlled. I say we need to control those same straight couples who bring their infant in a stroller at 1am in the morning out on the boulevard or to the West Hollywood Halloween Carnival or complain when they pass a club and see a gogo dancer and then make a big stink about morality. Enough. West Hollywood is THE gay neighborhood for us to be proud of and it is a shame that the city council and Duran have bowed to the majority and the almighty dollar. Disgraceful action and I fear only the beginning.
I'm not sure if you're old enough to remember this, but people used to tell us to go away and that we weren't welcome in bars and even public areas. I was beaten by the NYPD for being trans in public just about 30 years ago. So it's tremendously short-sighted and literally a perfect illustration of irony that you're being exclusionary toward straight people, who constitute a population majority in the very city you have briefly lived in. It makes no sense that they would leave their own city to do regular activities. People who have their children in public at 1am and that "make a big stink about morality" either don't exist or exist in such a small number as to affect nothing. If you want to be angry, that's fine, but be logical and channel your frustration into action. Queers used to be really good at that. Now I guess we post comments on the Instinct website.
John Duran sucks. I am at a loss for a sentence that is intelligent. John was paid to take that down. I think it is time to remove John Duran from West Hollywood because we don't want people to think we are being stingy with the gay pro tem's in any of the largely straight neighborhood's of LA.
In what way is it regression? The flying of a flag at city hall (full time) is something I have not seen offered to any other group, I don't see why we, as gay people, should demand special rights.
There is nothing regressive about being afforded the same rights as everyone else, and being treated like everyone else. There are real issues out there, focus on one of those.

wow....really good episode.
Kiritsugu fight was nicely done, the Accel spam was exciting.
Then the grail showing itself, and Kiritsugu finding out what it really is. tragic.
laughed that Iri got choked to death yet again.
Expected, but Kiritsugu choosing to 'cut' Maiya out was brutal.
Saber's face of desperation was great. What a fool.
lol'd @ Gilgamesh's line about the wedding ceremony. geez, get a hint of the mood.

- Kung Fu Master Kotomine vs Kiritusgu was fine for the most part but no EMIYA or a remix come on.
Only minor thing would be they made it looked like the bullet bounced off Kotomine's head which made it look hilarious.
- No Lancelot backstory, fight ended abruptly, and they changed his dying words. Now Lancelot will now forever be remembered as some guy that had shark teeth and could have passed as Caster's long lost brother.
- What happened to your black dress Iri ???
- No Saber alter cameo scene.
I suppose UFOtable's answer to everything is plz buy our overpriced blu-rays.

You know thats fairly common right? Though not how they showed it the skull is really good at deflecting bullets.

He choked a lady and blew up a loli's head for the sake of the world ok.
Easily, Hero of the year. But in all seriousness, that scene was quite sad .

As I had feared, this episode was incredibly rushed. At least 15 extra minutes would have been needed to cover everything properly.
Saber's fight against Berserker was completely butchered. Lancelot's backstory was entirely left out and they did not even begin to attempt to explain why he hated Saber. Even his dying speech was cut out, geez.
Kotomine and Kiritsugu's battle, on the other hand, did not disappoint one bit. Kotomine was overwhelming. He could even keep up with Kiri's triple acceleration. If not for Avalon enabling him to go beyond his limits (and saving him from a mortal blow), Kiritsugu would have undoubtedly lost. And even then, he only won because he woke up first. He was no match for him. What a monster Kotomine was!
The scene inside the grail was very well directed. I liked the sudden changes in scenery. My only complaint is that I'm not sure the anime properly conveyed how horrifying the answer the Grail had reached thanks to Kiritsugu was. In the LN, Kiritsugu's trial continued (120 against 80, 80 against 40, etc...) until there were only five person left: his father, Natalia, Maiya, his wife, and his daughter. He was once again forced to choose whether to save two or three of them and decided to kill his father and Natalia (the anime made it look like he killed them "accident", this is what bothered me and changed the meaning of the scene). Three people left. He had to save one or save two. He chose to kill Maiya. And thus, two remained. Two lives of equal values. He did not have to choose anymore. He could finally be at peace. This is the solution the Grail offered him: kill the whole population save for two people. This is the answer Kiritsugu refused. He once again sacrificed two... to save 6 billions.
To Grail-kun, world peace = killing 6 billion people.

That was crazy. Definitely some skipping around and cutting out. If only they had more episodes. I really hope the BD version is a lot longer.
The fight with Kirei was fantastic. Oh man. I'm with Kanon, he was a monster.
Inside the grail was a trip.
And the end with the final command... poor Saber doesn't understand.
That's all I can say. I'm still in my natural shock from watching something of this caliber.

I've been with Wells Fargo for about 25 years. I hate them. For some reason I've just never switched, but am going to now since I am just sick of their policies and attitudes.
This got me thinking, is there a bank out there that does not piss off their customers? One that people actually like? I've been to a lot of places and have yet to find one that people actually like. Is this a mythical thing?

NEW YORK, May 31 (Business Law Currents) – Electric utilities and natural gas companies are facing new regulatory uncertainties involving the jurisdictional reaches of two agencies overseeing futures and derivatives trading as well as wholesale energy transactions: the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Recent rulemaking efforts and litigation have raised questions as to the overlap and division of powers of these two entities over certain financial transactions and enforcement actions of interest to the energy industry.

WELLESLEY, Mass. – Behind the strength of efficient hitting and solid defense, the MIT women's volleyball team defeated host and top seed Wellesley College, 25-17, 26-24, 25-15, in the 2012 New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Championship on Sunday afternoon. The No. 3 Engineers (30-5) collected their first title since 1990 and fourth overall to earn a spot in the upcoming NCAA Championship Tournament. Junior Kristine Bunker (Falmouth, Mass.) was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player after compiling 28 kills, a .313 hitting percentage, and 15 blocks.
MIT's powerful attack produced a hitting percentage of .322 while holding the Blue to a .147 performance. Freshman Ada Taylor (Durham, N.C.) led all players with 15 kills while hitting .600 as Bunker tallied seven kills and three blocks. Junior Tatiana Berger (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) chipped in seven kills as senior Trinity Leonard (Mill Valley, Calif.) posted seven digs, six kills, and two blocks. Freshman Meryl Gibbs (Bellaire, Texas) rounded out the balanced attack with five kills while senior Katie Spielbauer (Lakeview, Mich.) registered 13 digs and two aces. Freshman Lindsey Wang (Cupertino, Calif.) earned six digs and three aces as junior Sharon Hao (San Jose, Calif.) notched two aces. Senior Alyssa Rothman (Plainview, N.Y.) rounded out the squad with 37 assists and six digs.
The visitors took control early, maintaining a three-point cushion for most of the first set. A Taylor kill and a Wellesley attack error gave MIT its largest lead at 15-10. Wellesley managed to narrow the gap to two on a pair of occasions, the last at 16-14. Four consecutive miscues by the hosts fueled the Engineers' 9-3 set-ending run, which featured an ace from junior Emma Gargus (Columbus, Ohio) that put them ahead, 24-17.
Set two was closely played, as it featured seven lead changes with neither team holding more than a two-point advantage the entire way. Wellesley led 15-13 after a Sydney Carfagno (Los Angeles, Calif.) kill, but MIT responded with a 5-1 spurt which featured a kill and an ace from Hao to go along with strikes by Leonard and Bunker. Wellesley battled back, going ahead 24-22 on another hit by Carfagno, but the Engineers rallied with four consecutive points to clinch the frame. Bunker ignited the run with back-to-back kills, followed by a strike from Leonard, and an ace by Hao.
The Cardinal and Gray jumped out to an 8-3 advantage in the third set, but Wellesley battled back as it came within one (13-12) on a Carfagno hit. This was as close as it would get as MIT registered six of the next seven points to gain some breathing room. Wellesley's Carfagno and senior Isabel Custodio (Powell, Ohio) trimmed the deficit to four (19-15), but the Engineers picked up the next six points as a Spielbauer ace clinched the victory.

Loyola press release - June 11, 2012
The Trumpet Ensemble at Loyola University New Orleans, under the direction of Nick Volz, D.M., performed at the 37th annual conference of the International Trumpet Guild in Columbus, Ga., last month. Selected through a pre-recorded audition, the group was among a dozen trumpet ensembles from around the world to perform at the conference.
In addition to performing in two concerts, Loyola's ensemble also had the opportunity to see, hear and meet many of the world's leading trumpet artists and scholars. The ensemble included students Hannah Baldo, John Culbreth, James Gillum, Logan Gross, Scott Kiser, Oliver Kodner, Alex Mayon and Clayton Perschall, as well as faculty members Volz and Vance Woolf.
According to Volz, the invitation to represent New Orleans and to perform before thousands of trumpet players was a distinct honor.
"The fact that these students were selected to perform for our international conference is testament to the quality of education they are receiving at Loyola," Volz said. "They played very well, and they enthusiastically embraced the conference and all of its events. Hopefully, they will take this knowledge and inspiration with them throughout their careers."
The guild also annually judges submitted solo recordings and holds a competition to award conference scholarships and cash prizes to exceptional students. Mayon, a junior music education major, and Culbreth, a music industry studies sophomore, were among nine undergraduates from around the world to receive awards during the conference.
The largest organization for trumpet players in the world, the International Trumpet Guild is a nonprofit organization founded in 1974 to promote communications among trumpet players. Additionally, the guild aims to improve the artistic level of performance, teaching and literature associated with the trumpet.

After Miley Cyrus's head-turning performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, tongues were wagging over how Robin Thicke's wife would react.
Paula Patton watched from the audience as Cyrus stripped her clothes and twerked on her husband. but apparently, the performance was no surprise to Patton -- she was present at the rehearsals and had given the OK well before the show, so she knew what to expect, more or less.
Cyrus kissed Thicke's neck and touched his crotch with a red-fingernailed foam finger.
Patton was the one that talked Thicke into releasing the racy "Blurred Lines" video, which shows him with women in various states of undress -- in one version, topless -- dancing with her husband. She said even she got turned on watching the video.
"Fine. I watched that video and I was a little bit jealous and then I wanted to jump his bones. I was like, 'I want to take you down right now.' That's how I know it's a hit," Patton said.
Patton herself went topless for the film "2 Guns" and straddled costar Denzel Washington, but her Thicke did not see the scene until the film's premiere.
"It just seemed really phony to me to have a shirt on and so I just kind of sprung it on [director Baltasar Kormakur] and I came to set and said: 'I'm not going to be wearing a top.' I asked Robin before and I said, 'Because it doesn't feel natural.' And he goes, 'Go for it, babe, absolutely.' We don't really get hung up on those things," Patton said.
Only once has Patton suspected Thicke of cheating, but that was well before they were married.
"Before my husband was my husband -- I don't know what got in my head; love makes you crazy -- I drove all the way to his house and I was in his bushes trying to look through the window. I totally got caught! Thank God I was wrong."

5 Reasons Why Wiz Khalifa Is Winning With 'Cabin Fever 2′
We were supposed to have Wiz Khalifa's sophomore album, O.N.I.F.C., on our iPods by now. Originally, it was slated to be released in September before it was pushed back to December. But, we're not even all that broken up about it. Why, you ask? Well, because Wiz is still putting out music at a pretty feverish pace. In the last month, he's released his new single, "Remember You," featuring The Weeknd. He's appeared as a guest on tracks by Curren$y, Boaz, and Ne-Yo. And, most recently, he put out his new mixtape, Cabin Fever 2. It's been more than enough to hold us over until December.
We were most impressed with the mixtape effort. Although we originally thought that Cabin Fever 2 would be filled with leftovers from his O.N.I.F.C. recording sessions, the truth is that a lot of the songs that appear on it are really, really solid. As VIBE editor Mikey Fresh pointed out on Twitter shortly after the tape dropped, Wiz probably could have called the mixtape Kush & Orange Juice 2. It's that good.
To help explain why we're so into it, we put together a list of the 5 Reasons Wiz Khalifa Is Winning With Cabin Fever 2. If the mixtape is any indication of what we can expect from O.N.I.F.C., then we can't wait for December.

Puerto Rican Spicy Cabbage Salad with Tomatoes, Radishes, and Celery
After doing a little internet research about Carribean cabbage salads, I did tweak the recipe a bit, upping the crunch factor with radishes, adding some chopped celery leaves and green onions, and using just a touch of lime juice in the dressing. With those changes I don't know how authentically Puerto Rican the recipe is, so if you're a food purist you may just want to call this "cabbage salad." No matter what you call it, if you try this recipe I predict you'll love it just as much as I do.
Chop up 5-6 cups of green cabbage, about half of a large head of cabbage.
Chop up 1 cup of tomatoes. (I used the grape tomatoes from Costco that I love in the winter.)
Cut about 6 radishes into half-moon slices and slice 1/4 cup green onions.
Toss the salad ingredients together.
Spicy Cabbage Salad with Tomatoes, Radishes, and Celery (Puerto Rican Cabbage Salad)
(Makes about 6 servings, recipe adapted from Puerto Rican Cabbage Salad at Champaign Taste.)
5-6 cups finely chopped green cabbage (about 1/2 large head of cabbage)
1 cup diced tomatoes (I used diced grape tomatoes)
1/2 cup celery, sliced (or if the celery is large, I would cut in half before slicing)
1/2 cup chopped celery leaves (optional, but good)
6 radishes, stem and root cut off and cut into half-moon slices (optional, but good)
1/4 cup sliced green onions (dark green part)
Dressing Ingredients:
2 T apple cider vinegar
1 tsp. fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4-1/2 tsp. hot pepper sauce (I used Sriracha sauce; use any hot sauce that has a good flavor. If you have some type of Carribean hot sauce it would be perfect in this.)
3 T grapeseed oil (or other neutral-flavored oil such as canola will work)

Apollo 1.7.1 MQTT Protocol Manual
The MQTT Protocol
Apollo allows clients to connect using the MQTT which is an open-source protocol specification intended for limited-resource devices on unreliable networks using a publish-subscribe domain. These types of devices usually require a small footprint and are not well suited for text-based protocols such as HTTP or STOMP or even traditional binary protocols such as Openwire or AMQP. MQTT is a compact binary protocol that is optimized for these types of limited devices and unreliable networks.
In previous releases, MQTT was supported in Apollo as a separate plugin. As of now, that plugin has become part of the main development trunk and MQTT support is available out of the box without any other configuration or packaging of third-party plugins.
Since MQTT is a wire-level protocol, any client that implements the protocol should be able to connect to Apollo and also interoperate with other MQTT-compatibe message brokers.
To learn more about the details of MQTT, see the MQTT Specification
MQTT Protocol Options
To start using the MQTT protocol, use a valid MQTT v3.1 client and connect to the port on which Apollo is listening. Apollo will do protocol detection and will automatically recognize the MQTT payloads and treat the connection as an MQTT connection. You don't have to open a special port for MQTT (or STOMP, Openwire, AMQP, etc. they can all be auto-detected). To force specific protocols over a certain connector there are two ways you can do this. You can choose to not use protocol detection at all and set the connector to be specifically for mqtt:
<connector id="tcp" bind="tcp://0.0.0.0:61613" protocol="mqtt"/>
Alternatively, you can limit which protocols can be "detected" using the
<detect> configuration element like this:
<connector id="tcp" bind="tcp://0.0.0.0:61613">
<detect protocols="mqtt openwire" />
protocols attribute in the
<detect> element takes space delimited protoco values.
protocol attribtue of the
<connector> element takes a single protocol, not space delimited. It defaults to
If you wish to tune the MQTT defaults, you can use the
mqtt configuration element within the
connector element
in the
apollo.xml configuration file :
<connector id="tcp" bind="tcp://0.0.0.0:61613">
<mqtt max_message_length="1000" />
mqtt element supports the following configuration attributes:
max_message_length: The size (in bytes) of the largest message that can be sent to the broker. Defaults to 100MB
protocol_filters: A filter which can filter frames being sent/received to and from a client. It can modify the frame or even drop it.
die_delay: How long after a connection is deemed to be "dead" before the connection actually closes; default: 5000ms
The mqtt configuration element can also be used to control how the destination headers are parsed and interpreted. The supported attributes are:
queue_prefix: a tag used to identify destination types; default: null
path_separator: used to separate segments in a destination name; default:
any_child_wildcard: indicate all child-level destinations that match the wildcard; default:
any_descendant_wildcard: indicate destinations that match the wildcard recursively; default:
regex_wildcard_start: pattern used to identify the start of a regex
regex_wildcard_end: pattern used to identify the end of a regex
part_pattern: allows you to specify a regex that constrains the naming of topics. default:
[ a-zA-Z0-9\_\-\%\~\:\(\)]+
Client Libraries
Apollo supports v3.1 of the MQTT protocol. The following clients will work:
- Java : mqtt-client, MeQanTT
- C : libmosquitto
- Erlang : erlmqtt, my-mqtt4erl
- .NET : MQTTDotNet, nMQTT
- Perl : net-mqtt-perl, [anyevent-mqtt-perl]https://github.com/beanz/anyevent-mqtt-perl()
- Python : nyamuk
- Ruby : mqtt-ruby, ruby-em-mqtt
- Javascript : Node.js MQTT Client
- Delphi : TMQTTCLient
- Device specific: Arduino, mbed, Nanode, Netduino
To see an up-to-date listing of client libraries, please the MQTT website for its software listings
The Apollo distribution ships with an
examples directory
where you can find some simple examples of how to use some of those
clients to send and receive messages from a broker instance.
The default broker configuration secures access to the broker so that only
admin user can connect. The default password for the
admin user
MQTT clients cannot specify a Virtual Host (see the section on Virtual Hosts in the user guide) so the default virtual host will be used. This is usually the first Virtual Host defined in the Apollo.xml configuration file.
Destination Types
The MQTT protocol is a publish/subscribe protocol. It does not permit true point-to-point messaging
achieved using Queues. Therefore Apollo allows only the use of Topics for MQTT messaging.
The concept of a subscription and durable subscription to Topics is similar to what you'd find in
other protocols and is controlled by the MQTT CONNECT frame's
clean session attribute.
Clean Sessions
When a client sends a connect frame with the
clean session flag set to cleared (false), any previously used session with
the same client_id will be re-used. This means while the client was away, that subscription could have received
messages. This is the equivalent of a durable subscription in Apollo.
If the
clean session flag is set (true), then a new session will be started and any sessions tha may have been
lingering would be removed. This is equivalent to a normal topic subscription in Apollo.
Topic Retained Messages
If a message has been published with the retain flag set, then the message will be 'remembered' by the topic so that if a new subscription arrives, the last retained message is sent to the subscription. For example if you're publishing measurements and you want the last mesasurement published to always be available to a client that subscribes to the topic, you can set the retain flag on the PUBLISH frame.
Note: retained messages are not retained between broker restarts for Quality of Service setting of AT MOST ONCE (QoS=0).
Last Will and Testament Message
You can set a
will message and assocaited QoS for the message when a client
first connects to Apollo. The will message is basically a message that
will only get sent if there is an unexpected error with the connection and it must be dropped.
This can be useful in situations where you have devices that could drop but
when they do, you want to know. So if a medical sensor client drops from the broker,
a will message could be sent to an "alarm" Topic and handled by the system as
a high-priority alert.
Reliable Messaging
MQTT allows a client to publish a message with the following Quality of Service parameters (QoS):
- At Most Once (QoS=0)
- At Least Once (QoS=1)
- Exactly Once (QoS=2)
At Most Once
This QoS will attempt to deliver the message to a client, but it will have the lowest reliability of the three options. If you publish with a QoS=0, At Most Once, then the broker will not send back an Ack saying it received the message, nor will it retry if the broker fails. This QoS is most similar to non-persistent messages in, for example, JMS.
At Least Once
This QoS setting will ensure that the message is delivered at least once to clients. When publishing with this setting, Apollo will send back a PUBACK frame which acknowledges that the broker has received the message and has taken "ownership" for delivering the message. If the client that published the message with QoS=1 does not recieve the PUBACK in a specified period of time, the client may wish to re-publish the message again with the DUP flag set on the PUBLISH frame. It's possible the broker received the first attempt to publish the message and subsequently published it to listening clients. So if the PUBACK got lost somehwere and the client sends the message again, there will be no duplicate detection, and the broker will send the message again to the topic's subscribers.
Exactly Once
This QoS is the strongest level of reliability afforded by the MQTT protocol. This assures the publisher that its message will not only get to its intended subscribers, but that the message will not be duplicated as it could with QoS=1. This QoS, however, comes with increased network overhead.
When a message is published, the broker will store the message ID and send the message to the Topic where it would be persisted if there are any durable subscriptions. It will then send the PUBREC frame back to the client implying the broker has received the message. At this point the broker will expect the client to send the PUBREL frame to clear the message ID from its session state and complete the send with the broker sending a PUBCOMP.
Wildcard Subscriptions
Wild cards can be used in destination names when subscribing as a consumer. This allows you to subscribe to multiple destinations or hierarchy of destinations.
/is used to separate names in a path
+is used to match any name in a path
#is used to recursively match path names
For example using the above, these subscriptions are possible
PRICE/#: Any price for any product on any exchange
PRICE/STOCK/#: Any price for a stock on any exchange
PRICE/STOCK/NASDAQ/+: Any stock price on NASDAQ
PRICE/STOCK/+/IBM: Any IBM stock price on any exchange
Keep Alive
Apollo will only set a keep-alive/heart-beat monitor if the client has specified a
keepAlive value in the
CONNECT frame. If one is specified, the actual value used by Apollo will be 1.5 * the keep alive value. This is
in keeping with the MQTT spec.
Destination Name Restrictions
Destination names are restricted to using the characters
:, ' ', '(', ')' or
. in addition to composite separator
, and the wild
*. Any other characters must be UTF-8 and then URL encoded if you wish to
preserve their significance.

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (AP) — Like other Olympians, pop violinist Vanessa-Mae got to live her dream ... but a lot slower than everyone else.
Short on both style and speed, she finished a distant last of 67 racers who completed the giant slalom. Her time of 3 minutes, 26.97 seconds over two runs was 50.1 seconds slower than the new Olympic champion, Tina Maze of Slovenia.
But she was just thrilled to have taken part.
"The Olympics is like the greatest show on earth and to just share the same snow, to be able to slide down the same snow that the elite skiers carve down is just an honor and a privilege," Vanessa-Mae said. "So, you know, when I get to even train with some of them for like two runs, sometimes I'm already a little bit like, 'Ooh, that's so cool!'"
While the elite skiers raced aggressively, thwacking the gates and leaning into the hill, Vanessa-Mae skied upright for most of the rainy course before crouching into the tuck position for the final gates.
She celebrated in the finish area, raising her arms and ski poles over her head after her first run.
After her second run, she refreshed her lipstick and put on a wristwatch from one of her sponsors to present herself before the world's media.
"It was really cool," she said. "I expected to be last but you know at the end of the day the Olympics is a great opportunity."
Vanessa-Mae was born in Singapore and raised in Britain, but is at the Olympics as one of two athletes on Thailand's team. She's competing as Vanessa Vanakorn, using the surname of her Thai father.
"I said to myself, 'If I qualify I'm going to set a goal for myself,'" she said. "I made (a) pledge that I'm going to make a big donation to charity, because I support animal charities. So my main purpose for being here was to really have a good time, to improve my skiing in a very short amount of time and to help some animals out there."

The formation of the group Artists Against Fracking was announced at a news conference in Manhattan with Ono, her son Sean Lennon and Mark Ruffalo, who has long been outspoken on the issue. Other celebrities joining the coalition's cause include Lady Gaga, Sir Paul McCartney and Alec Baldwin.
The group's formation comes as New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo prepares to decide whether to allow shale gas drilling using high-volume hydraulic fracturing - or hydrofracking - after four years of studying its health and environmental impacts.
Ono and Lennon are calling on the governor to ban drilling in New York, which they said can cause gas wells to leak harmful methane into public water supplies. They said their group has requested a meeting with Cuomo to discuss the issue.
In a letter sent to Cuomo on Monday, Ono and Lennon called fracking "a danger to New Yorkers".
"Inevitably, the process leads to the release of toxic chemicals - many of which are unknown and unreported - into our air and water," they wrote.
The letter added: "It is a direct public health threat to families and communities."
Proponents argue that drilling and fracking in the Marcellus Shale formation, which covers large parts of Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and West Virginia, promises to deliver relatively cheaper natural gas to close customers in the energy-hungry Northeast and create hundreds of well-paying jobs in an economically depressed region.
Cuomo is expected to allow drilling to begin on a limited basis near the Pennsylvania state line, though Ono said she is confident the governor and fracking supporters will eventually come around.
"Eventually logic will overcome everything," she said. "Logic and love."
The coalition is encouraging the public to pressure lawmakers to take action against fracking. Beyond that, Ono and Lennon told The Associated Press that their next steps largely depended on Cuomo's actions in the coming weeks.
"It's much better to play it by ear," Ono said.

Jill Biden promotes Post-9/11 GI Bill website
WASHINGTON (AP) — Jill Biden is promoting a new website designed to make it easier for service members, veterans, their spouses and dependents to calculate their Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits at thousands of schools and job training programs.
"In just a couple easy steps they can figure everything out," the vice president's wife told The Associated Press before she appeared Wednesday on NBC's "Today" to show off the GI Bill Comparison Tool.
Using the website, service members can estimate tuition and fees, housing allowances and book stipends for each school. They also can find data on graduation rates, loan default rates, median borrowing levels and other indicators.
Before the website was created, service members had to consult multiple sources to find the same information, said Biden, a military mom and English professor. The Bidens' son Beau serves in the Delaware National Guard.
The website launched in February, but Jill Biden is highlighting its existence as she and first lady Michelle Obama mark this month's third anniversary of Joining Forces, their nationwide support program for service members, veterans and their families.
Biden said in the NBC interview that she and Mrs. Obama started Joining Forces "to encourage all Americans to support and honor our military families."
Last week at the White House, both women recognized the millions of caregivers of sick or wounded service members and veterans.
The comparison tool website was created under an executive order President Barack Obama signed two years ago to make sure GI Bill beneficiaries have the information they need to compare options and make the best choices about their education benefits.
Congress created the Post-9/11 GI Bill in 2008. Service members and veterans who have spent at least 90 days on active duty since Sept. 10, 2001, are eligible.
The Veterans Affairs Department says it has distributed more than $30 billion in tuition and other education-related payments under the bill to more than 1 million veterans, service members and their families, and to the universities, colleges and trade schools they attend.

E. coli Outbreak Affecting Oregon, Other States, Traced to Spinach
by Bend Weekly News Sources
Oregon public health officials have joined those in at least eight other states in investigating an outbreak of E. coli O157, a foodborne illness that has been identified in at least five people across Oregon.
Epidemiologists in the Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) and in Wisconsin have traced the illness to packaged, washed spinach, although they so far have been unable to identify whether the contamination is confined to a single brand.
"We have reports of cases of E. coli O157 illness in Oregon, Idaho, Washington, Wisconsin, Utah, New Mexico, Connecticut, Indiana and Michigan," DHS epidemiologist Bill Keene said Thursday afternoon. "Although we have identified packaged spinach as the source, people have either varying or no recollection of the brand they purchased."
Keene said that epidemiologists are asking people who have become ill for credit and cash-register receipts they received when they made the purchase. "We're now trying to pin down the brand," he said. Although five persons' illness has been confirmed by the state public health laboratory, he said, state epidemiologists have received reports of illness in several dozen people and are working with them as well.
State public health officials are urging people who develop diarrhea after eating raw spinach to call their local health departments. Those who have bloody diarrhea or are particularly ill should seek medical attention and tell their doctors if they ate uncooked spinach. "Most people who ate the spinach will not get sick," Keene said. "If you ate spinach and aren't ill, there's no need to call your doctor."
Keene said DHS has notified the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is working with the affected states, and the Oregon Department of Agriculture. Wisconsin public health officials have reported 19 cases and one death, he said.
E. coli O157 is a foodborne infection that also can be passed from person to person unless ill persons wash their hands diligently after using the toilet. The infection often causes bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps, which usually go away in five to 10 days. However, patients in about 5 percent of cases suffer kidney failure. "This is one of the more serious foodborne infections," said Keene.
Public health officials cite these as primary protections against E. coli O157 infection:
* Thoroughly cook ground beef and hamburger. Keep raw meat separate from ready-to-eat foods. Wash hands, counters and utensils with hot soapy water after exposure to raw meat. * Drink only pasteurized milk, juice or cider. * Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly, especially those that will not be cooked. * Always wash hands after using the toilet.
Keene said DHS would name the brand of the contaminated product publicly as soon as it is identified.

Of course, the game creation page would then have to be dynamic and the dropdown box would have to update when you changed the number of players. A lot of websites have pages like this (think about forms you fill out online where the options on questions below change as you fill out the form). But if you wanted to avoid that, you could just set the dropdown to MAX = number of starting territs divided by 2 and if you ever made an illegal selection, it would take you to the page that it does when you try to make an 8 player trips game.
although i like the idea of choosing the starting terits i would vote against that as an option. it would dilute the demand for games by spreading us out across too many options much like what happened when the extra speed variations were introduced. ONLY WORSE. games will take too long to fill when someone creating 20 Eurasia's with 10 starting terits each would split wannabe players with the guy who created 20 Eurasia's with 9 starting terits and the guy who created them with 11. now consider that sort of variation across every map on this site and i know its not an infinite explosion in choice but it does seem close.agentcom wrote:Anyway, it looks like you all have come up with a number of interesting options. The most versatile option from the perspective of somebody making games would be to allow a custom number of starting territs determined by the user. The alternatives that have been proposed allow a predetermined number. It sounds like people have proposed Normal, Half and Conquest (cool name greenoaks!).
it wasn't entirely me. just like someone brilliant suggested they drop 'the' from that social networking site, 'The Facebook'. i suggest we drop 'mode' from Fazeem's naming of the 1 starting terit option, Conquest Mode.
