Israel, Hamas Press for Advantage
Both Sides Step Up Attacks Amid Talk That Cease-Fire Looms; Some See a Gain in Stature for Gaza Strip's Leaders
TEL AVIV—Israel and Hamas mounted furious new rounds of missile and rocket attacks on Tuesday, on a day when reports swirled that the two sides were close to a deal that could end a week of deadly confrontation.
Hamas officials said throughout Tuesday that a cease-fire deal was imminent. The day ended without an agreement, however, as U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived for three days of talks in the region that officials said were aimed at cementing a long-term cease-fire....

Duke hires former player Jon Scheyer as special assistant basketball coach
DURHAM, N.C. – Duke is bringing back former basketball player Jon Scheyer as a special assistant.
Coach Mike Krzyzewski announced Scheyer's hiring Monday.
Scheyer was a captain on the Blue Devils' last national championship team in 2010.
His hiring fills a hole that opened after longtime Duke assistant Chris Collins left to take over at Northwestern. Nate James was promoted from special assistant to replace Collins on the staff, and Scheyer was brought in to replace James.
Krzyzewski calls Scheyer "one of the greatest young men to ever wear the Duke uniform."
This marks Scheyer's first coaching position. He played in the NBADL and overseas after concluding his Duke career.

Skyforce Readies For Return of Dexter Pittman
One day it's Christmas in Miami the next a sojurn to Sioux Falls. The Miami Heat Wednesday assigned third-year center Dexter Pittman to the Sioux Falls Skyforce, Miami's NBA Development League affiliate. The assignment is the 72nd so far this season and is the first for Pittman this year. He becomes the 43rd NBA player to have been assigned to the NBA D-League this season. Pittman also joins current assignee Arnett Moultrie from the Philadelphia 76ers in the Skyforce stable.
Pittman who is 6-11, and 285 pounds out of Texas has appeared in four games for Miami this season, averaging 1.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 3.0 minutes. He returns to the Skyforce having played in 22 games on assignment as a rookie in 2010-11, when he averaged 14.5 points, 8.2 rebounds and 27.8 minutes. The assignment ended abruptly as Pittman suffered a knee injury that ended his season in January 2011. In 41 career games for the Heat, Pittman has averaged 2.8 points, 2.0 rebounds and 7.9 minutes as a second round choice of the Heat in the 2010 NBA Draft.
Pittman is expected to join the Skyforce for their Friday, December 28 game with the Maine Red Claws in Sioux Falls at 7 p.m. The Skyforce will have a Social Media Night promotion with numerous ties with Facebook and Twitter on the evening. Learn more about it at the Skyforce Facebook page or follow them on Twitter @SFSkyforce.

|NBA All-Time Leaders: 3-Point Percentage
|Bold: Active
On media day this September, Nets head coach Avery Johnson was asked about the shooting stroke of his new guard, Anthony Morrow.
"It's effortless," Johnson said. "He makes threes in his sleep."
Morrow doesn't have the prettiest form or the quickest release, but it's the results that count. And Morrow's jumper gets results.
As an undrafted rookie playing Nellie-ball two seasons ago, Morrow led the league by hitting 46.7 percent of his threes. Last season, he increased the volume (from 184 to 307), but kept shooting at an efficient rate, ranking fifth at 45.6 percent.
The best 3-point shooter over a two-year span, Morrow earned a three-year contract with the New Jersey Nets, where he has been asked to spread the floor for Devin Harris and Brook Lopez. He made an immediate impact, nailing a game-winning three in the Nets' opener against the Pistons.
And now with 246 threes made in his career, Morrow is about to earn his place among the greatest shooters of all-time.
To qualify for the all-time 3-point shooting list, you need to make 250 threes. So Morrow is four bombs away. As he stands, at 45.1 percent, he would rank second all-time, but if he were to go 4-for-4, he would be shooting 45.45 percent and rank No. 1, ahead of Steve Kerr.
That may be tough to pull off, but as long as Morrow hits four threes in his next 20 attempts, he'll rank ahead of Hubert Davis and qualify as the second best 3-point shooter in NBA history.

Frequency Response
The differences in sound quality that cables make can be both heard
and measured. The frequency response of a system is one of the most
basic ways to measure the accuracy of a sound system. Although it
certainly does not give all of the information about the sound quality
of a cable, it does illustrate the basic cable accuracy. An ideal
system would have a frequency response that was completely flat
from 20 Hz to 20kHz. That would mean that the system was able to
play all frequencies, from low bass to high pitch symbols, without
any distortion or decrease in volume.
The graph shown here is an example that gives a direct comparison
between the frequency response of two audio systems that are identical
except for the cables. As can be clearly seen, the system using
the Pear Cable (depicted in dark green) shows greatly extended frequency
response. When we say that our
cables are more accurate,
we actually mean it, and can prove it.
By allowing a virtually flat frequency response all the way to
20 kHz, the Comice Cables used in this test preserve the harmonic
information of the original recording. When this system is compared
side by side in listening tests, the difference is obvious. The
"Other Cables" sound much harsher and tinny. Pear Cables
on the other hand will sound far more natural, with an infinitely
improved soundstage, because they are more accurate.
The bottom line is that if the sound never gets to the speakers,
the quality of the rest of your system will not matter. Pear Cables
allow your system to reach its full potential.
Click Graph for Full Size PDF
System Specifications
So what exactly is the comparison depicted on the graph?
The frequency response comparison has been specifically designed
to be as fair of a comparison as possible. The setup is a 4 channel
audio system that uses a cd player, a pair of 2-channel amps, and
2 pairs of coaxial 5.25" speakers. 2 channels are hooked up
with our competitors cable, and 2 channels are hooked up with our
Comice Cable.
The sets of cable are all identical in length and gauge. The Pear
Cable side utilizes Comice Silver Interconnects, Comice Speaker
Cable, and Comice Power Cable. The "Other Cable" is major
name brand "high quality" cable. The interconnect pairs
are both 5 meters long and utilize shielded twisted pair configurations.
The speaker cables are all 14 foot long 12 gauge runs. The "Other
Cable" speaker cable is a standard 12 gauge zip design, whereas
the Comice Speaker Cable is a 12 gauge cable utilizing a unique
6 conductor configuration. Finally, the amplifiers are both hooked
up using 2 foot runs of 8 gauge power wire.
The measurements were taken with a digital storage oscilloscope
at the speaker terminals. Because this system utilizes just 5.25"
coaxial speakers, the low frequency roll-off can clearly be seen
in both cases, but this has nothing to do with the cables. This
is due to the fact that the system was not designed to play low
frequency bass, and cuts that information out.
One final important note is that the frequency response of cables
will not, of course, give all the information about how they will
sound. However, it will demonstrate the basic accuracy of the cables.
Other factors such as cable vibration, noise, etc. will not show
up in a frequency response plot, but are still important. Pear Cables
are designed to deal with all of these factors.

CARSON, Calif. (Monday, January 6, 2013) – The LA Galaxy announced today that the club has named Kenny Arena to the club's coaching staff as an assistant coach. A former head coach in the Galaxy Academy, Arena spent the last two years as the head coach at Florida International University.
"We are pleased to add Kenny to our coaching staff," said LA Galaxy Head Coach and General Manager Bruce Arena. "Kenny's familiarity with the Galaxy, experience in player development and his knowledge of the college game make him a good fit for our club."
Named the head coach at Florida International in March 2012, Arena led the Panthers to an 8-8-2 record in his first season in charge, giving them their most wins in a single season since 2005. FIU finished the 2013 season with a 6-10-1 record, giving Arena a 14-18-3 record in his two seasons in charge. Over two seasons with FIU, Arena coached five players who were named All-Conference.
Arena began his coaching career as an assistant at the University of Virginia in 2006 before joining the coaching staff at George Mason University in 2007. He first came to California in 2008, joining Jorge Salcedo's staff at UCLA. In four seasons with the Bruins, Arena helped lead his team to the NCAA Tournament four times, including a berth in the College Cup in 2011. Nearly 20 players that Arena coached while at UCLA went on to be drafted by MLS teams, including Chandler Hoffman, Kyle Nakazawa, Brian Perk, Brian Rowe and Michael Stephens, all of who went on to play for the Galaxy.
During his time at UCLA, Arena also worked as a coach with the Galaxy Academy, serving as the head coach of the Galaxy U-16's. While with the Academy, Arena coached current Galaxy Homegrown players Jack McBean and Oscar Sorto while helping lead his team to the U.S. Soccer Development Academy U-16 National Championship and the U-17 Generation adidas Cup in July 2011.
A former U.S. youth national team player, Arena played college soccer at Virginia and was selected by the MetroStars (now New York Red Bulls) in the fourth round of the 2003 MLS SuperDraft. He would spend three years in MLS as a player, scoring once in 20 games over two seasons with the club before being traded to D.C. United, where he spent the 2005 season.
Season tickets for the 2014 MLS season are on sale now, starting at just $250. Becoming a Galaxy Season Ticket Member gives fans the opportunity to see every Galaxy home game as well as number of additional benefits such as access to Town Hall meetings with Galaxy leaders, discounts on additional single game tickets, entrance into the club's new Season Ticket Member loyalty program and much more as well as discounts at all TEAM LA locations and on select camps at the Galaxy Soccer Center in Torrance.

Jeremy Hefner will rejoin the rotation on Sunday - he is 2-3 with a 5.13 ERA in six starts for the Mets this season.
However, while R.A. Dickey will not be used on short rest at any point, he will continue to pitch every fifth day.
Terry Collins recently suggested the purpose for going to a six-man rotation was to afford Johan Santana and Chris Young extra rest as needed. There's no question they will be getting that extra rest under this plan. At the same time, this will afford Dickey a fair opportunity at getting to 20 wins this season and a fair shake at the Cy Young Award, should he continue to pitch as well as he has to this point.
Collins also said recently he doesn't want any of his pitchers going with more than five days rest. So it's going to be interesting how he maneuvers the rotation going forward in order to avoid that, especially as they try to develop Matt Harvey at the Major League level.

The Biggest Loser: No Excuses was a season full of unexpected twists and turns – but all the drama was put aside Tuesday as an at-home winner was crowned and the final three stepped on the scale for the last weigh-in to determine who would take the title of the Biggest Loser.
The night was a celebration, but the season's ups and downs were evident with the absence of ineligible contestants Mark Cornelison and Buddy Shuh, who quit just before the finals, and Joe Messina, who quit earlier in the season to spend more time with his family.
In their absence, fan favorites Chism Cornelison, Emily Joy and Cassandra Sturros took to the stage with 11 other contestants to show off their new, slimmer figures and compete for the at home prize of $100,000. But the grand prize was reserved for one of the three finalists. Seven weeks after leaving the Ranch, single mom Conda Britt, 24, her brother Jeremy Britt, 22, and former pro-wrestler Kim Nielsen, 38, all three stepped on the scale – but only one of them walked away with $250,000. Keep reading to find out who was named the Biggest Loser …
RELATED: Biggest Loser's Sam Poueu & Stephanie Anderson Wed
Mike Messina won the at-home prize by losing a total of 160 lbs., or 44.69 percent of his body weight. He beat out Cassandra Sturos (who lost 92 lbs., or 38.49 percent of her body weight) and her pal Emily Joy (who lost 102 lbs. lost, or 38.64 percent of her body weight).
As for the big $250,000 prize: Conda went from 294 lbs. to 179 lbs. for a total weight loss of 115 lbs., or 39.12 percent of her body; Kim went from 252 lbs. to 134 lbs. for a total weight loss of 118 or 46.83 percent; and Jeremy went from 389 lbs. to 190 lbs. for a weight loss of a whopping 199 lbs., which is 51.16 percent of his body weight. That makes Jeremy, who is half the man he used to be, the winner of The Biggest Loser!

Just got back from breakfast with Graz, Chris, and Denise. Went over to registration to pick up our stuff. So far, we've got a large soft-side laptop case/briefcase. It's thick enough to hold a laptop computer, 3-ring binder, and several other things. There's also a ticket for a drawing for a digital camera from HP on Friday at the general session (must be present to win). I believe they are also giving out SQL 2005 Beta 2 but I haven't seen it yet. Probably at the Microsoft booth in the exhibit hall.
The doorbell (yes, doorbell) on my room just rang and a guy came by to give me bottled water and orange juice. Nice.
Oh, and the golf shop and another store here are giving 10% off to all conference attendees. Must be time to do a little souvenir shopping! And time to hit the pool!

The adage that one change typically follows another is especially applicable to weed shifts in farming, says Eric Prostko, University of Georgia Extension weed scientist.
Peanut producers in the Southeast are starting to notice new or emerging weed species in their fields, says Prostko, and this could be due to factors such as the introduction of new chemicals or the adoption of new cultural practices.
"This isn't anything new," he says. "If you've been farming for some time, you've seen shifts in weed species in your fields. Change is inevitable, especially in a biological system such as weeds in agriculture. Something will find the niche that we're creating."
Weed shifts basically occur in response to whatever farmers are doing on their land, says Prostko.
"We know a lot about some of these new and emerging weeds while we don't know so much about others. Some of these weeds haven't been a problem in peanuts. And until we see fields with significant problems, it'll be difficult to get good data on controlling these weeds," he says.
Weed shifts can occur due to the adoption of cultural practices such as reduced-tillage production, he says. "In Georgia, we've seen more reduced-tillage and less heavy plowing over the past several years, and this has affected our weed species."
Row spacings, such as the move from single to twin rows in peanuts, also can have an impact, he adds.
"We've also changed our herbicide use patterns," says Prostko. "If you grow cotton, you're probably using glyphosate, and that has affected how we do things."
In listing some of the new and emerging weeds being seen in Southeastern peanut production, Prostko says tropical spiderwort would be near the top.
"This weed is causing a lot of problems in Georgia. Fortunately, we've been doing some work on this since we have such a heavy population, and we're getting some good control data on this species," he says.
Tropical spiderwort has become a problem primarily for two reasons, notes Prostko. One is the change in tillage systems and another is the fact that with glyphosate systems, growers are not using the older herbicides on cotton such as Cotoran.
"The good news is that we have some control strategies. We rely heavily on Dual Magnum to help with this weed. In Georgia, we're also recommending a tank-mix of Gramoxone and Dual put out at cracking. Then, you can come back with Cadre or whatever else you might be using postemergence on peanuts."
Tropical spiderwort, he says, produces both above-ground and below-ground flowers, with about 13,000 seed per plant. "It reproduces vegetatively. You can plow and cut it up, but it'll still reproduce. We've seen it in Georgia as far north as Effingham County, so it's right on the South Carolina border."
Florida pusley, says Prostko, has been in Georgia fields for a long time, but growers now are experiencing more problems with the weed. One reason for this, he adds, is that some growers aren't using the DNA materials like Sonolan, Prowl and Treflan which control Florida pusley.
"In some situations, especially where strip-till is being used, growers are having problems due to a lack of activation. With a heavy cover crop, we're not getting that herbicide down to where it's needed. You can't let this weed get very big or you'll have problems controlling it postemergence."
Florida pusley can be controlled with currently available products, says Prostko. But if it escapes one of the soil-applied herbicides — such as Sonolan, Prowl, Strongarm, Valor or Dual Magnum — growers will have to rely on Gramoxone at cracking. Cadre's performance has been variable, he says.
Groundcherry is another weed that's proving to be a problem for some Georgia growers, says the weed scientist. There are three species of this weed, including cutleaf (annual), smooth (perennial) and clammy (perennial).
"We don't know if this weed will respond to a material like Cadre. Based on what we know in other crops, there are some control strategies using Dual/Outlook and Ultra Blazer at postemergence."
Copperleaf also is causing problems in Georgia, especially on the western side of the state and possibly in north Florida, says Prostko.
"The good news is that we know a lot about this weed in terms of control, and it's easy to control. Strongarm/Valor will do an excellent job pre-emergence, and Ultra Blazer works very well over-the-top."
Eclipta also has become more of a problem in Georgia fields during the past two seasons, he says, and this could be due to wetter weather conditions.
"We also have some good control strategies. We know Strongarm and Valor have good activity pre-emergence. But postemergence gets more difficult when this weed is allowed to grow. If it gets bigger than 2 or 3 inches, the effectiveness of products like Storm, Basagran or Blazer will depend more on weather conditions. We should be able to manage this weed, as long as it doesn't get too large."
A lot of Georgia growers also are reporting problems with carpetweed, says Prostko. "It has a small white flower and grows low to the ground. We don't know much about this weed — we don't even know if it's very competitive."
The following soil-applied materials should have activity on carpetweed — Prowl, Sonolan, Dual, Strongarm and Spartan. For postemergence control, data from Texas shows the effectiveness rating of these materials: 2, 4-DB (58 percent), Cadre (80 percent), Storm (95 percent), Basagran (33 percent) and Blazer (100 percent).
"Another weed species we're seeing more of is purple moonflower, from the morningglory family," says Prostko. "It's a larger morningglory species, and we're seeing it much more in the central counties of Georgia. Blazer generally is pretty good on morningglory, but we don't know about Cadre."
Pink purslane also is being seen more in Georgia fields, he says. "Again, we don't know a lot about this weed. Taking data from other places, we feel like materials such as Sonolan, Prowl, Dual and Valor should do a pretty good job. For postemergence control, you might try paraquat plus Storm, Basagran, or 2, 4-DB."
Georgia farmers also are seeing more spurges in their fields, says Prostko. There are several species of spurges in the Southeast, but there is limited data on controlling this weed, he says. Valor, Ultra Blazer and Storm are control possibilities.

Former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman has said that he is not interested in rejoining his former band. Wyman played with the Stones for the first time in 20 years in London in November last year. The Express asked Wyman what he would say if Mick Jagger asked him to rejoin the band: "I'd say 'no'…Thirty years was great but I've got better things to be doing now. That time has gone."
Wyman seems to be upset that he only got to play on two songs with the band: "I thought I was going to get quite heavily involved because I was led to believe that throughout the year by them," adding "Keith [Richards] in particular made me think that I would be a large part of it but when it came to it they told me they only wanted me to do two songs. It was fun but I regretted not playing more. I was a bass guitarist, a rhythm guitarist; I have to be on the button from the moment Charlie [Watts] does that first drum roll… I came off just as I was warming up and getting into it."
When he was asked if he wanted to join the Stones for the US leg of the anniversary tour, Wyman turned down the offer: "When they asked me to go to America for two weeks to do three shows there, I said 'For two songs? No thank you'." It remains to be seen if Wyman will be invited to play with the Rolling Stones at any of their upcoming UK gigs this summer.

The phone in the Parentes' 10th-floor hotel room rang just before midnight. By then, a mother and two daughters staying there had been beaten and asphyxiated by the man who answered the phone. Not long after taking that call - from a college roommate of his older daughter - the man used a knife to commit suicide.
On Wednesday, Baltimore County police sketched a timeline for the murder-suicide of a Long Island family in a room at the Sheraton hotel in Towson. Officials described methodical killings over a period of hours Sunday, but a crime with no clearly defined motive since the killer left no suicide note.
William Parente, 59, a New York lawyer, asphyxiated his family members one by one, likely beginning with his wife, Betty, 58, a homemaker and charity fundraiser. Catherine, 11, was probably killed soon afterward. Then came Stephanie, a 19-year-old sophomore who abandoned her studies at the Loyola College campus late Sunday afternoon to make the five-mile trip north to the hotel, police believe.
Their bodies were laid out on a king-size bed. William Parente's body was found in the bathroom. He killed himself hours after his family, sometime early Monday morning. Police said there were no obvious signs of a struggle or that anyone had been drugged or restrained.
Taking notice of Stephanie Parente's absence from classes Monday, Loyola officials alerted the Sheraton Baltimore North hotel. Employees entered the locked room about 3 p.m. that day and found the bodies.
Investigators found no note, Baltimore County Police Chief James W. Johnson said, but they have learned about William Parente's "questionable financial dealings." County police are forwarding information, which Johnson would not describe, to the FBI's New York office.
"We continue to interview family, friends and work associates to determine the motive and the circumstances behind these violent acts," Johnson said.
An FBI spokesman in New York said an investigation into William Parente's financial dealings is under way. Also, a lawyer in Queens has written to the New York state attorney general's office alleging that he was defrauded by Parente.
Police said it was not unusual for the Parentes, a Roman Catholic family with Italian roots in Brooklyn, to make the 215-mile drive from Garden City to Loyola, where Stephanie was a speech pathology major. She was studious, friends said, and wanted to be a dentist.
The family checked into the hotel, near Towson Town Center mall, April 15; they were due to check out Monday morning.
Stephanie was surprised by her family's visit, said friend and fellow sophomore Gabrielle Paige, 19. Loyola had just resumed classes a day earlier, after a brief Easter break. Stephanie was preparing for final exams, Paige said. And the Parentes were scheduled to visit this Friday for an on-campus meeting about a study-abroad program in England, for which Stephanie and Paige had signed up, Paige said.
"None of it made sense," Paige said. "They just called her and said they were here in Baltimore. It seemed like they decided on a whim to come out here."
But once they were here, Stephanie's friends said, the family's visit was ordinary. "Nothing was amiss as far as her roommates could tell," said the Rev. Brian Linnane, Loyola's president.The family had breakfast together Sunday near the campus, a Loyola spokeswoman said, and Stephanie came back to her dorm room afterward. Stephanie had a chemistry exam Monday and was planning to study Sunday, friends said.
But she was nowhere to be found that night, though her chemistry book lay open on her dorm-room desk. Friends were concerned enough to call the hotel, Paige said.
One of Stephanie's roommates got through to the room about midnight, and William Parente told her that Stephanie would be staying the night with them.
The medical examiner listed the manner of death of the wife and daughters as homicide, police said, and the cause for all three as asphyxiation and blunt force trauma. Asphyxiation is the obstruction of normal breathing, but police did not say whether the three were strangled or smothered.
There were several objects in the room that could have been used to inflict the trauma, said Johnson, the county police chief, but investigators have not concluded what exactly William Parente used.
The mother and youngest daughter were killed "relatively close in time," said police spokesman Bill Toohey, though Johnson said evidence showed the mother died first. It is unclear whether the 11-year-old was in the room at the time.
Stephanie Parente was apparently killed later Sunday, police said.
"We might never know the exact sequence of what went on in that room," Toohey said.
William Parente's death was determined by the medical examiner to be a suicide caused by cutting with a knife. Police would not say where on his body he was cut.
On Long Island and on the Loyola campus, those who knew the Parentes were grieving.
"This continues to be a very difficult time for the entire campus community," said Courtney Jolley, a Loyola spokeswoman. She said there would be a private campus vigil Thursday night, and Loyola is continuing to provide counseling and support services.
Paige said Stephanie's four roommates were especially close to her. She said some of the women are putting on a brave face while others are not handling their friend's death as well.
"You would never see her without one of her roommates," Paige said. "Their hearts are just broken."

The Steppenwolf Theatre has announced its 2012-13 season for young adults.
The two-show slate, aimed primarily at teen audiences, begins in the fall with Heidi Stillman's adaptation of "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak, the story of a young, book-loving girl in Nazi Germany. Hallie Gordon will direct.
In February, Steppenwolf will stage "Oral Histories" by Miles Harvey, a piece revolving around the first-hand accounts of Chicagoans, especially young Chicagoans, whose lives have been impacted by violence. The director has not yet been announced.
Steppenwolf says the shows, which have both public and school performances, are designed to be part of a season-long collaboration with Chicago Public Library and Facing History and Ourselves with the aim of "making positive change" in the face of "youth violence and intolerance."

I'll post up the original Japanese scans for you to compare
Perhaps a neutral party who's well verse in Japanese might care to comment ?
Edit :- There, now I've type out all the Japanese Texts presented. People here can at least run the text through a web translator to judge for themselves.

Chap6, page 17, bottom-right scene, right-most speech balloon.
SaHa: "Don't worry. Just act like you usually do..."
NLB: "So, just treat them like you would the rest of your students."
Tatertotz: show her the same affection as you do the other kids... or give the same praise and scoldings as you do everyone else.
that's fine, how about acting normal?

Read chapter 11. Now I think the reason why Rin is mature might not be because of some trauma. Maybe this is just my optimistic thinking. Shouldn't it because of the environment where Rin grew up. (mom getting it on with cousin). Then again that would be a little to simple. Anyhow the serie got my interest This Reiji hasn't done anything bad yet. It seems he's getting tempted(that or the author is just teasing us with some possibilities.) I'm just hoping he can keep his pants on and keep playing the overprotective "young-dad" role.

<blink> the "cousin" aspect is fairly irrelevant to the situation (I think that cousin-relationships have been clarified enough times in this forum. It just isn't a big deal in Japan or even most of the USA).

If anyones wants my honest opinion....
The SaHa translation is way off.
The kanji "面談" denotes Interview, and there's no mention of it in their Translation. Further, Aoki is asking about speaking to the parents face-to-face, earlier. What does "asking anyone in school" have to do with that ?
The Kanji 髪 means "Hair" Now where's the mention of that ? "とかしても" means "lend" or "give" which in this context "comb", why no mention in SaHa's version ?
What happen to the translation of 子 meaning "Child" or "Kid" ? And I don't see anything that means "Going to see" in the original Japanese Text. And Hoin's answer to that question ? You mean, she treats the Family like a child ?
It's as I said, there's no love for the contents, hence no exmaining the translation to the suitation in the story and thus the lousy errors.

I've only done a sampling... but yeah, the SaHa translation is MUCH further off in left field, at times almost to the "Whats up Tiger Lily" level. If SaHa was the scanlation the SSE people were referring to, I can see why they trashed it as inaccurate and used it to try and derail people who wanted the release as "not understanding"....

Here is a very nice article that explains why this release was cancelled:
Sad but true. There were many discussions about Aoki's response, especially because it was (or at least was interpreted as) one of DeAngelis' arguments. But the truth is - it's not the real problem
I apologize if this posts detracts from the main discussion and I could delete it...

Um, ya I know
Ah I see, you surmise SSE meant that other older work was the source of confusion for supporters of KnJ ... yeah, I took a few pages of that at random to spot check as well .... and after that it went into the /dev/null bucket.
That said, the SaHa project seems to be large amounts of randomness as well.
I just can't get to some of the decisions SaHa made on even innocuous lines so at best I'd call it a "liberal rewrite" rather than an interpretation.
@Hayami: that article is completely flipping brilliant. As I read it, not just a light bulb - but a large xenon flash fired off over my head. It explains the motivations of the irrational (even if they themselves deny it) beautifully. I highly recommend everyone read this article by Matthew Skala.

I love to see what SaHa's stand on their mistranslation is now that we prove that their release are sloppy chop shop works that mangle the original meanings
If they have pride in their work, they would put their releases on hold and do a re-interpretation, re-translation and re-release of previous chapters instead of pushing out more.
If they persist, than we know where their agenda with this release lies, banking on fame and glory with the hype of this title getting canned in the states.

Just look on the bright side, everyone will delete the lousy 'speed scans' that I've commissioned when your high quality (and hopefully perfectly translated) ones come out and replace it with yours.

But I must remind the translator that the primary purpose of translating is to interprete the intended meaning of the orignal message as closly as possible.
That is unless the the cilent demands a speedy release of this title, then I understand.

I certainly see the screw-ups in SaHa's version, but I think it may be best that you let sleeping dogs lie. It may be worth mentioning that I did notice a fair number of screw-ups in your own version. That's to say, on top of the ones you've already fixed in re-releases because you or your editors were being "sloppy". Then again, with your "love" for the contents, I'm sure you'll go back and dig them up yourself so you can fix your own mistakes. I'm afraid to say that both translations have their respective innacuracies, though it's hardly surprising that yours aren't being pointed out seeing as this is basically your thread.

So, people are welcome to point out the supposed mistakes if and when spotted (As I have pointed to SaHa's).and we'll correct them if we see the reasoning. Just as bleakessence attempt, to which we responded to.
So let it be known here that SaHa will be the speedsub, while our release be the refined version.

That's because they're being pointed out back-channel for the most part (at least that was my intent so as not to clutter up the thread).
I'm not clear why speed at the expense of meaning is useful at all. I mean.. .its one thing if the speed translation is "truck run over hedge!" rather than "Oh, the truck backed over the hedge!" but if it comes out "horseless box in conjunction with shrubbery is angry" ..... O.o
Obviously, if the patron is getting what they want.... but even speedsubs need to be somewhat "correct" (whatever that means).
To me the accuracy is more important, so it goes. As any U.N. translator will tell you, speed is great but.... (oops, faux pas on the xlate).
@pedobear: hmmm, first post.... if you haven't already, be sure and browse the forum rules. They are enforced (which many new members discover the hard way) And no one "owns" a thread, other than the mods

I'm inclined to pushing my rough translation to my typesetter and ask him to just photochop it in for the sake of exposing it to the masses.
But out of the love of the material, I submit it for editing and wait for the course of nature.

I spent several hours in Seneca Monday just visiting. I talked with several shop owners and somewhat to my surprise, I learned that their business was doing well. We have several new businesses which have filled a particular need and allowed people to shop locally instead of driving to one of the "Big Box" stores.
I spent several hours in Seneca Monday just visiting. I talked with several shop owners and somewhat to my surprise, I learned that their business was doing well. We have several new businesses which have filled a particular need and allowed people to shop locally instead of driving to one of the "Big Box" stores.
The older I get, the more I appreciate being able to shop locally instead of taking my life in my hands on one of the giant parking lots. Not to mention all the narrowed lanes and temporary stop lights that spring up over night. The encouraging thing is, that businesses can do well in this depressed economy by catering to specific needs. The other big secret is friendly, courteous people to help you find what you are looking for. I am blessed with small towns all over my district and the difference between a small town and the larger cities surrounding us is unbelievable.
We were at the Winterfest in Anderson on Saturday and they had a really nice parade. There were more than 60 entries and I wouldn't venture to guess how many people were there to watch. The great weather surely helped make a record turnout. We were entry number 50 and by the time we got downtown the kids weren't even fighting over the candy! Most of the businesses stayed open late and there was something for everyone to do. Marcus Pratt and his family rode on the truck with us and their kids threw about 20 pounds of candy alone! The down side to having a lot of small towns in my district is that I have four more parades before Christmas.
It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is already over. We have read and seen many great stories in the past week of people giving of their time and resources to help those who are less fortunate. It seems like this time of year brings out the best in us. I've said it before, but I'll say it again; we are extremely fortunate to live here in Southwest Missouri.
Four years ago in 2008 when we had an F4 tornado destroy businesses and homes and take 14 lives, we saw immediate response from our neighbors, friends, and local governments. Within a few hours, hundreds of volunteers from neighboring communities showed up to help.
The same thing was true of the ice storms the following year. When the tornado hit Joplin, we again volunteered in unbelievable numbers to clean up the mess and help restore families to their homes. This "Volunteer Phenomena" has been the subject of wonder all around the world. What the heck? That's what people are supposed to do isn't it? There was so much squabbling in New Jersey over who was supposed to repair the electric lines that they still don't have power. The thing we have going for us, is that we care about one another. Once in a while greed or jealousy rears its ugly head, but we come to our senses pretty quickly and work together to accomplish our goals.
Now for the last part of my sermon. We have all suffered together through one of the most expensive and divisive political campaigns in history. After everything has been said and done very little has changed in the balance of power. Maybe that's a good thing. Historically, when we have been forced to do on a national level what we for the most part, do willingly in Southwest Missouri, work together for the common good, much has been accomplished. While our national parties become more fragmented with far left and far right segments, state governments appear to be working more closely. We have a big job in front of us this coming session with the speakers agenda being pointed toward economic development, energy, and education. Those three topics cover a lot of ground. I will be sending a survey out in January to get your opinions on some of these potential bills. Please take the time to let me know how you want me to proceed.
If you've never been to "The Journey To Bethlehem" at Racine Christian Church, it is being held on Thursday through Saturday nights. It is sure worthwhile to see it.
Until next time, I am and remain, in your service.

At Beloit, museums aren't considered stale, staid repositories for artifacts and art; instead, they're ever-evolving laboratories for learning and exploration. And we have two of them: the Logan Museum of Anthropology, and the Wright Museum of Art.
Both offer mesmerizing exhibits and are open to the public, but they're also home to extensive permanent collections that become the rich base for student coursework and research. They're not disciplinary silos, either. A recent religious studies class, for example, scoured the collections of both museums to curate an exhibit of sacred objects that was displayed, in turn, in both the Wright Museum, the Logan Museum, and online. A political science class might create an exhibit of protest art; writing students use visual art as a muse for their prose.
The museums also provide the perfect backdrop for the college's museum studies minor, a six-unit specialization that finds students doing everything from curating exhibits to maintaining and restoring objects and art and learning about the contexts and uses for cultural and natural objects.

Speck CandyShell iPhone 6 Cases
The iPhone 6 is here and so are the CandyShell cases by Speck Products. Speck's CandyShell cases are some of the most popular for iPhones and for good reason. All the cases have perfect cutouts for the iPhone ports and camera. The buttons are covered and easy to use. And even though all the cases have "military-grade" protection, most of them don't add a lot of bulk.
Here's an overview of the four Speck CandyShell cases for the iPhone 6 (4.7″):

Michael Smith of bioblogging.com submits this branding challenge:
I own a niche (literally, the trademark) for a brand (a "bioblog") that is also a new art form (for resumes). I own the book (Bioblogs: Resumes for the 21st Century, HarperCollins Fall '06). I own the only blogs on the subject: on WordPress, Typepad, Blogspot. The book is in libraries but the concept is still hidden from the market (lazy publisher). I am trying to promote an idea, a revolutionary reaction to traditional resumes (of which I am an expert).
The recent global branding teleconference spoke of branding this and that, and the session with the 'branding experts' discussed resumes and CVs and bios, but only a bioblog is really anywhere near being a "branded resume." I could only listen while I wanted to shout. Nobody knows. How does one man shout loud enough over the blogosphere to be heard when they don't recognize the word: BIOBLOG!
This, to me, is a challenge. Mark Hovind (JobBait.com) and George Blomgren have been supportive, but how can I approach viral marketing when I am not trying to sell anything . . . just inform . . . and seed a future market?
OK, this challenge is a bit different from some of those we've looked at in the past – it is more conceptual. So, you marketers and branders – what are your comments, questions, critiques, remarks? What advice would you give? The Comments are open!

Well, it doesn't matter if you've slumped into your chair with disappointment and frustration after having tried and failed to learn French in the past... (In fact, the worse your previous attempts at learning French have been, the more excited I am that you are here...)
Or if sometimes you feel like you are so busy that you don't even have time to eat, let alone parle français (to speak French), because a few minutes a day is all it takes...
And don't think you're too old and that you can't teach an old dog new tricks, because being older can make language learning easier, and stimulating your mind can add years to your life...
Maybe you are tone deaf (like me!), well that doesn't matter at all, because before you know it you will be ordering croissants and baguettes like a native French speaker...
Even if you believe that languages don't stick in your brain, when in fact, with the right system, they can stick like krazy glue...
I'm Jason Oxenham, CEO and co-founder of Rocket Languages. Since 2004, our mission has been to let ordinary people truly master a new language anywhere they want to learn and at any time they wish to do it.
Today I want to invite you to join the 1,212,346 happy, successful, men and women from all 196 countries around the world, who've discovered how one amazing, award-winning, system will help them learn French, when other systems have failed.
The very same system the illustrious PCMag selected as their Editors Choice for language learning, rating it above all the other well-known systems out there...
...and which also took out the prestigious 19th Annual Best Educational Software Award last year.
Jason Oxenham: Rocket Languages Co-founder and CEO
How is it that some people "get" French easily and yet others, people like you and me, just get frustrated and lost? Well, I can tell you…
You can bet that they're not wasting time sitting in a classroom getting a small fraction of the teachers' time and attention...
They're not trying to avoid the teachers gaze, hoping they won't be singled out for embarrassment by having their poor pronunciation exposed in front of the whole class...
They're not mindlessly parroting the same phrases over and over with their classmates while their French teacher stalks the room...
And they are definitely not plowing through old school workbooks and grammar texts, trying to work out what's going on...
The scientific theory behind our courses is the "chunking" process or Miller's Law by Dr. George A. Miller, which is based on the fact that the number of objects an average human can hold in working memory is 7 ± 2. So, simply described, it is the breaking down of big difficult content into small easy parts or "chunks".
Now, while it's important to have a strong scientific basis for a language learning system, it's equally important for you to know what works in the real world, from people who have succeeded at mastering one or more languages.
We have spent over 10 years figuring out what works and what doesn't, we have surveyed polyglots (people who speak multiple languages), researched people who overcame often severe learning difficulties to master a language, used advances in web technology, and much more…
All to develop a ground-breaking system that will get you speaking and understanding the language you've always loved, no matter how old you are, or what your current French speaking ability is.
Discover how the 7 powerful language acquisition success strategies in Rocket French will help you learn French no matter what your background is...
You say that you don't have time to learn French?
Well, you may have more time than you may think! Many successful language learners use what appears to be downtime to keep building their knowledge, and you can too...
You can learn French at your own pace and in your own time, without adding to your already busy schedule by having to attend French classes!
That's why a key component of Rocket French, the Interactive Audio Course, is designed so you can learn French:
during your commute to work,
while you are at the gym,
walking the dog,
doing the housework,
or anytime that you are on the go...
Listen to and/or download a free Rocket French introductory Interactive Audio Course track here.
(Note: this is just the audio, with the full Rocket French course you get a full transcript of the conversation and all other French words and phrases used in the audio track too)...
It consists of tons of audio lessons, with each track averaging over 25 minutes in length, that are designed to train your ear to French and prompt you to speak and respond to your tutors, Marie-Claire and Paul.
Each audio track guides you through an everyday conversation that you are likely to have in France or when speaking to French people.
File Size: 8 MB
Right click on "Download Audio" and choose "save link/target as" to save this lesson as a MP3 on your computer
A word of warning! If you are completely new to French then this French conversation may sound like complete gobbledygook in the beginning. That's entirely normal, it may take several listens until you can break it down. So download it and use it!
Look what from has to say...
This is so fun! I work full time so I don't have time to take a language class. I can do Rocket French during lunch. I love that I can download the audio lessons and listen to them while I work out. There are so many ways to learn the same thing over again that it really makes retaining the information easy.
Alison Johnson— United States
A key fact that has been surprisingly often "overlooked" by some other "big name" companies is that you MUST know the mechanics of how French works for you to truly master French.
French, like most languages, has a completely different sentence structure to English, which means that you need to have that structure explained to you, it's not something that you can pick up by osmosis!
That's why the Rocket Express Learning System® has in-depth, step by step instructions on how French works in English, as well as valuable cultural tips with our Language and Culture lessons.
With Rocket French's Language & Culture lessons you will discover the mechanics of French and access audio tracks of thousands of common French words and phrases that go with the lessons.
Salut Rocket French, Oui, I'd highly recommend Rocket French to others. Why? It is especially useful for "false beginners" like me. It was most beneficial to have a clear and concise explanation in English and then a comparison to French. The group French lessons I had recently taken would never explain in English what it was they were imparting, ie. an English translation of grammar points, or vocabulary, etc. - this was frowned upon. But Rocket French does this.
It clears up any confusion and lets you move on without feeling unsure or confused on just what it is you are saying/comprehending. You can really benefit from having this wealth of information to guide you and it'll give you a lot of confidence in learning French. I work with quite a few Quebecois and they have been very impressed with my progress ever since I started using Rocket French.
The weekly newsletter is most helpful in providing interesting aspects of French culture and language and reading the text has become easier and easier to understand. Often I start following a lesson and find I click on some aspect that I'm not too sure about and then follow this link to a deeper level and I get so deep into the subtleties that I loose track of what it was I was trying to study but nevertheless I gain a clear understanding of what it was that intrigued me. This increases my confidence tremendously that the next time I come across this point I can move on knowing I understand instead it instead of just brushing it by. So, I find that I now don't worry about not finishing a lesson from front to back because there is also so much more to learn on the way through the lesson from the links provided. A text book could never do this. The electronic version is so much more handy to use.
Boyne Saunders— Ottawa, Canada, Canada
In most classroom settings the learning that you do is not very efficient, mainly because the pace of the learning is dictated by the teacher and the class size, not you...
And that's not even considering the low amount of information that is retained. A study by German psychologist, Hermann Ebbinghaus, showed that within an hour most people have forgotten 50% of what they have learned and within 2 days it's pretty much all gone...
So, it stands to reason that a major key to successfully learning French is remembering as much as possible of what you have learnt. Particularly being able to remember it when you are under pressure to speak!
That's where the Rocket Reinforcement activities come in. Our scientifically designed algorithm re-displays words and phrases that you are weak on until they stick in your head like glue.
Each Rocket French lesson has a variety of reinforcement activities, with each one designed to reinforce and enhance your recall in a different way;
What's more this all ties into your own personalized progress tracking system, keeping you on the path to mastery!
Hear it Say it! improves your understanding of spoken French. Fantastic for training your ear to French,
Write it! improves your ability to write/type in French, and at the same time reinforces the words, phrases and sentence structures, so they become familiar to you...
Know it! All the training in the world won't help you if someone is talking to you in French and your mind freezes when it is your turn to speak! That's why we developed Know it!; our tool for putting you on the spot!
Play it! With our latest learning tool, Play it! you are taking part in the actual conversation from the Interactive Audio Course. Don't ever toss and turn worrying about opening your mouth and having the wrong words come out. Play it! trains you to say the right thing at the right time!
Quiz! Reinforce your knowledge of the Language lesson concepts with our multi-choice quiz
I have earned both my CPA and my MBA so I thought learning a foreign language wouldn't be that tough.
I found out that making progress was very challenging and that I could only take small baby steps. Then I decided to try Rocket French. As I tell my best friends, they should buy Rocket French because it is an awesome product and the software makes learning grammar and pronunciation easy.
When you click on a word or a phase you hear native speakers say the expression or word that you clicked on. For me, that is the best benefit. I have read other French text books but knowing the correct pronunciation was impossible. When you buy Rocket French you will be enabled to work at your own speed.
Like some leading products, the speaker doesn't drone on and on and on with the pronunciation of a word that you already know. With Rocket French, you decide what you want to hear and how many times you want to hear it. There are so many advantages that Rocket French has over other products including the interactive sessions. Each session is followed with a question and answer review session. That turned out to be a great awareness of how fluent I really was and how readily I could answer the questions. Also, the easy download functions enable to you listen while commuting, flying, working out at a health club, or at your computer.
With Rocket French you can expect to speak foreign language sentences within the first session!

One of the tricks that people who have mastered another language swear by is speaking out loud as often as you can. This activates key areas of your brain to further reinforce the new connections that are being made as you learn French.
NOTE: Due to system requirements Rocket Record will work on Desktop PC, Android and iOS apps only.
The Rocket Express Learning System® has several features that prompt you to speak French out loud. One of the most impressive and useful is Rocket Record...
You will gain the huge benefits of speaking out loud and also be able to improve your pronunciation and accent with our voice recognition tool, Rocket Record.
This is the best language course I have ever used. The vocal histograms are really helpful and it is very enjoyable. The ability to practice and record what you hear being said by a native speaker is very valuable and the lessons are interesting an easily remembered.
Marti Saltzman— Asheville, NC, United States
Gone are the days of sitting in a classroom while Mrs X wanders up and down the aisles, getting you to repeat "Je parle français (I speak French)" over and over...
Over the last 10 years there have been huge advances in learning techniques, and in language learning methods in particular...
For example did you know this hyperglot method? (A hyperglot is someone who knows 6 or more language fluently, as opposed to the more commonly known term, polyglot, who knows 3-5 languages)
"Shadowing" is a hyperglot method devised by hyperglot Alexander Arguelles. The basic method is this:
download an audio book in the target language
put your headphones on and try to repeat the dialogue simultaneously and verbatim
Essentially, you play a native-speaker dialogue through your headphones and as you hear it, even if you don't understand a word of it, you repeat the sounds at the same time.
It's learning another language in a way that's similar to how you learned your first language – repeating sounds exactly as you hear them. It's a great way for you to master colloquial speech, and your accent and intonation.
Rocket French has 25 Advanced Learning Technique articles that will give you learning techniques like this. Discover more tips and tricks that will dramatically cut the amount of time you need to study.
I highly recommend the Rocket French Course for people who are too busy to attend French classes or who are considering attending French classes. The latter applies especially to people who actually reside in a Francophone country or, in my case, a half francophone country. The other half speaks Flemish.
Here in Brussels, however, the population is about 90% French speaking with lots of foreigners who would like to learn French.
Ergo, it would hardly be fair on the non-Anglophones for the instructors to teach it in English as they would in a US or a British class.
The other factor is that the instructors emphasize role-playing. It's almost as though you already need to know French before you can actually learn it, if you see what I mean. In which case, Rocket French offers an excellent way to prepare for the classroom environment. The vocals/listening comprehension segments are especially valuable; once I proceed to mispronounce a word, it takes a devil of a long time to correct myself.
I am learning to speak French not so much for business purposes but to enable myself to communicate with my neighbors or the folks down at my local pub. So, for me, that is the most beneficial feature of Rocket French: it enables me to become a part of the local community. Of course, one could always hang out in the expat pubs but is that really what you want? Besides, the drinks cost twice as much!
For those who are considering Rocket French, I could hardly imagine a better entry into the French speaking world. Rocket French covers all aspects of the French language from the grammar to comprehension exercises in all sorts of situations with lots of other exercises to keep you up to speed.
Bonne Chance!

Great support team. Attitude and availability of support team makes a very significant difference in motivating the student to learn a new language (like French in my case). My experience is that a teacher (or a course support team) impacts directly student's success in completing a course.
Vish Bhat
The final method that successful language learners use is high motivation; which means maintaining your motivation and actively improving it.
Have you ever tried doing something new that was so exciting that you had an inability to concentrate on anything else? Then as time goes on it, slowly but surely, it gets to the stage where it's easier for you to stay in bed... I think we have all been there...

I joined Rocket French a few years ago. After a respite, decided to try it again. What was already in my estimate, a fine program, has become even better!.
What Rocket Languages has done has been to involve its' members in all aspects of learning : reading, hearing, saying and writing .
A self- paced no stress program.
A program where the student can reach out to other members in his/her language group or outside of it allowing for socialization and/or support in a peer related environment.
A program based on a rewards points system that motivates its' members to keep on going to achieve the next level thus assuring continuous growth and enrichment .
A program that has a very empathetic customer service department for any technical questions to afford full quality and comprehension.
A program that asks for feedback from its' members ,thus aspiring to further enhance the quality of the instruction by listening to and acting on constructive comments .
A program that is constantly seeking the most up to date technology for the convenience of its' members.
A program that is very monetarily feasible. It allows you to rejoin without any financial penalties.
Rocket Languages is unique in all of the above and much more. It is showing the world that online studies are much more beneficial than traditional classroom studies.
And finally, Rocket Languages because of its high ideals and state of the art format allows its members to have an ongoing sense of pride and accomplishment.
No other language program can boast of all of this.
Truly Rocket Languages is elite - excelled by none.

That all depends on how you go about it...
Let's do a quick comparison and look at some of the alternatives.
Last time I checked, if you decided to buy one of our competitors software packages, like the well-known yellow ones you so often see advertised on the TV, you could be paying upwards of $500, never mind additional lessons that you may need to take to fill the gaps.
Next, if you decided to take a language class, you'd be looking at paying at least $300 - $400 a semester, and that doesn't include the cost of textbooks and time away from the things you really want to be doing. Not to mention how little personal time you get in a classroom setting...
Alternatively, you might consider hiring a local or online private tutor, but at the bare minimum you would be paying close to $50 an hour. Sure, it's smart to get one-on-one attention but it will end up being very expensive and there is no guarantee their method of teaching is going to work for you. Who knows, maybe they focus on a learning style that doesn't gel with the way you grasp language. Plus, you can't repeat a lesson without paying them again.
Maybe you've considered enrolling in a college or university course. No doubt, you've probably already seen that tuition could cost you anywhere between $1,500 to $2,000 on the low end, and let's face it, that means you're going to be busy trying to get to classes, wading through heavy text-books, and juggling with more than you need in order to speak and understand a language.
And finally, maybe you've thought about simply diving in at the deep end and trying to learn through complete immersion in a foreign country. You know, booking a flight, paying for accommodation and flying by the seat of your pants.
Truth is you don't need to spend a huge amount of money, or years behind a desk to become proficient at daily conversation. Rocket French provides a simple, quick, and affordable means of achieving mastery at French, while allowing you to continue doing what you want. It's that flexible.
So how much is it worth to you, to save all that money and time?
With Rocket French, it works out to be less than $1 per hour of tuition, that's unbeatable value in anyone's book.
You can get started on your way to French mastery in less than 1 minute. Just select your level from the table below.
As soon as you have ordered you will be directed to the Rocket French members' area where you can access all the tools you need to truly master French.
Remember, your access is 24/7 and is yours for life, including any and all course upgrades... so, once you have it you can come back to it at any time.
Today, with every order, you will get a ton of extra audio and vocab in the form of our Survival Kits.
These tailor-made Survival Kit lessons are specially designed to be fun, flexible and easy to use. No boring vocabulary lists or heavy phrasebooks for you!
Your Survival Kit is made up of targeted Rocket French Vocab Sessions with interactive audio that focus on essential French words and phrases and their pronunciation. You can use them anywhere, anytime. You can use them online, download them to your computer, or even transfer them to your smart phone or tablet.
The Survival Kits sell everyday on our website for $49.95, but we're including it absolutely FREE when you buy today from this page.
That's right: this is my personal guarantee to you. Here's exactly how it works.
Look, I'm a regular person like you. And I know that it can be difficult to trust people you come across online, especially when we've made some pretty big statements here today.
I've told you that a lot of common methods to learn French are one-dimensional and not based on the key language acquisition methods that the pro's use. And I've told you that I've got a system that, if you dedicate 20 minutes a day to, and do what I say, then you're going to master French no matter what your age or ability.
Jason Oxenham: Rocket Languages Co-founder and CEO
Without having to attend classes
Without having to go through some old school text book
Without having to look at pictures of apples over and over again.
Before you know it you're going to be able to have actual conversations in French.
You will be able to speak like a native, to natives, and have them slapping you on the back and saying that you're the one person that understands them.
I want to make it an absolute no-brainer for you today, here's what I'm going to do, simply order the course, enter your credit card or PayPal information, and you'll have 60 full days to try this out before you decide if it's for you.
You can decide in those 60 days whether you have the time and the motivation to learn French... If at any point in the next 60 days you don't feel like the system lived up to what I said here, or if you don't think that you personally have time to go through the program, simply contact my customer services team, let them know, and they will issue you with a prompt and courteous refund...
No Questions. No Hassles. Just contact us at [email protected]. It's that simple.

I absolutely love the Rocket way of learning. I've tried all the competitors, but nothing works as well (for me) than Rocket!
And, the price can't be beat. Basically, I'm paying $1 per hour of instruction.
I started with French, but now I'm moving on to Italian!
