Psychology Department Awarded $100,000 Grantby Howard W. Hewitt • December 8, 2006 Share:
A $100,000 Sidney Frohman Foundation grant will afford Wabash students expanded opportunities for psychology research. The equipment purchased will give students a chance to do the type of research seldom available at smaller colleges, Psychology Department Chair Brenda Bankart said.
"Psychology is undergoing a major paradigm shift with increased emphasis on understanding the relationship between brain and behavior," Bankart said. "Such research requires state-of-the-art laboratory facilities and equipment. This grant will supplement the considerable support Wabash already has provided the department to redesign and equip our physiological laboratory under the direction of Dr. Neil Schmitzer-Torbert."
The Frohman Foundation is based in Sandusky, Ohio, and was formed in 1964 by Sidney Frohman just before his death and after a long career in the paper industry. Frohman was particularly interested in helping provide the tools needed in higher education, as well as providing funds to charitable organizations. Dan Frohman '63 is a nephew of Sidney Frohman and is a member of the Foundation's Board of Directors.
Schmitzer-Torbert, in his first year at Wabash, is excited the grant will help purchase a neural recording system to monitor brain wave activities in a laboratory setting. He frames one of the most critical questions in psychology today as understanding the brain's activity and how it leads to our thoughts, emotions, and behavior.
"In brain research, this type of technique is becoming increasingly commonplace, but relatively few schools of Wabash's size have access to such equipment for student research," Schmitzer-Torbert said. "Over the next few years, some of the major questions we will be tackling will be how addictive drugs produce changes in learning and how aging influences learning and memory."
The grant will open up research opportunities and will help students prepare for life after Wabash.
"The department expects these new learning opportunities will not only enhance the undergraduate experience but also increase the competitiveness of students wishing to continue their education in graduate school," Bankart said.
The award comes after a cross-departmental effort, said Dean of Advancement Joe Emmick. "This is an example of higher education collaboration at its best," Emmick said. "The advancement staff, the psychology department, and the administration teamed up to match a donor's interest in the College with a critical academic programming need.
"The result is a gift that will make possible a new era in psychology and provide Wabash's students with a hands on laboratory and research experience rarely available to undergraduates at liberal arts colleges."
Dean of the College Gary Phillips said the grant comes at an important time for the Psychology Department. "As a result of its ongoing self-assessment, the department is reconfiguring the role of research in its curriculum. Grant funds will be used to create new laboratory space, supply needed instrumentation for present and future faculty use, and support innovative faculty/student collaborative research that will have a direct bearing upon faculty teaching and student learning."
Phillips, who helped write the grant, said the benefit will extend beyond Wabash psychology majors.
"This will benefit students who go on for medical school and graduate studies in particular," he said. "But it will benefit every Wabash student who takes a psychology course simply because it is a part of the liberal arts experience."

What are the games about? -superboyac (August 05, 2012, 05:03 PM)Nope...This year, its all about the money, they don't give a shit about the sport.http://news.sky.com/...rds-crash-at-wembleyhttp://imgur.com/gallery/uovYeJust a few examples (and proof) -Stephen66515 (August 05, 2012, 05:11 PM)
I'm boycotting the Olympics this year. I've had enough of the nonsense surrounding who gets to watch what, where, and when. To Aram's earlier comment, I too remember when the Olympics just used to be "on" before Los Angeles decided to go all out and blatantly make a huge buck off the games. Their historic success has since inspired far too many wannabe host countries to try to do the same.Add in the embargoes on news coverage, score reporting, and even certain words already found in English dictionaries, and I've had my fill. I wish the athletes the best of success, and hope their Olympic experience lives up to their expectations. They deserve it for the amount of time and personal effort they bring to the games. And I also personally hope London and all future hosts (the US included) merely break even going forward - and fervently hope that NBC and all the other media vultures lose their shirts. That's the only way the Olympic Committee will ever get the message - when they can no longer play the ignorant, the egotistical, and the fools off against each other in order to line their own already bulging coffers.-40hz (August 05, 2012, 09:01 PM)
Hmm, when I watched Wimbledon this year I thought if the Brits were ever gonna' get a champion, it would be in 2012 since they shelled out billions to host the Olympics and spent a lot in the last few years putting a roof on Center Court etc.. Murray got to the final, but lost to Darth Federer. But it seems like my theory was only 1/2 wrong. Murray beat Roger to get the Gold. Now maybe he has the monkey off his back.-MilesAhead (August 05, 2012, 08:29 PM)
Man, i remember growing up in the 80s and just seeing the Olympics 24/7 on the TV...any TV, anyone's house. Now we have more technology, more channels, more people, more events, more TV's, more everything!!-superboyac (August 05, 2012, 05:23 PM)

I'm boycotting the Olympics this year.-40hz (August 05, 2012, 09:01 PM) Yay~! More people need to boycott the Olympics. I haven't watched the Olympics since the 80's. It was complete corporate whoredom then, and it has since slid down the ranks to corporate-crack-whoredom. The level of "control" this year is more sickening than ever. On top of that, I've always had this icky, dirty feeling about the Olympics. Something has always seemed "off", in an H. P. Lovecraft sense of the word... I suppose the Olympics is just showing its true colors more than ever now. -Renegade (August 05, 2012, 11:23 PM)
Economist Nouriel Roubini is tweeting doom about the London Olympics this morning.From @Nouriel:UK policymakers scared so much folks before the Olympic that London is a deserted city: non-olympic tourists are away; londoners are gone!The Olympics are an economic failure as London is totally empty:hotels, restaurants, streets. They scared all off with crowd excess warningsBy scaring every1 to stay out of London with warnings about too many people coming here it turns that London is totally empty, a zombie city
We've come up with 43 reasons that we think the Olympics will be remembered as a disaster, and trust us, the list could have been longer — we probably could have come up with dozens of reasons related to the IOC "brand police" or the G4S fiasco alone.
Ok, I must admit that I smirked after reading this:http://www.businessi...totally-empty-2012-8-Renegade (August 06, 2012, 07:20 AM)

Well-l-l-l,There's a lot of comment here about the politics/commercialism/restrictions of the Olympic event. Most of it reasoned. But there's been little comment about the participants, apart from a few comparisons like unto The Hunger Games.I watch the Olympics. I enjoy the Olympics. There is no more beautiful sight to this old cripple than to watch some young body, male or female, surpass what we consider our physical limitations. Doesn't matter why they are there, what their reasons might be - they press the borders of human frailty by performing feats heretofore unimagined. Maybe they want the money from endorsements and merchandising, maybe they have ulterior motives for later activities, maybe it's just plain pride. These kids - for the most part they are kids - put a lot of blood, sweat, & tears into getting there. Maybe they're being exploited, but that does not reflect upon their art, their expertise, their ability. I cannot imagine anything more beautiful than the floor exercises or the bar exercises. They demonstrate what the human engine can do, given practice and will and a dream. La misma with the diving and the track events. Say what you will about the venue, these participants are physical and mental ideals to be lived up to. (I say mental because, no matter their ability to speak or do mathematics, they had/have the mental ability to continue, to force their body into exertions that the body wanted to deny - if you don't like mental, call it force of will.) These folk have learned a discipline very few of us will ever know - or have ever known.Why have they done what they have done? I neither know nor care their personal reasons. They are proof positive that the human body can be more than compulsive consumption, more than sex organs and opinions. And they give us dreams of grandeur that we'll likely never achieve, but at least know to be possible. They give us dreams.So, I watch. Mayhap I cannot create art , but I can damned well appreciate when I see it .-barney (August 08, 2012, 09:50 PM)
@Renegade: I see what you mean. That is nauseating though. Sort of like you might image a Guardian "journalist's" w#t-dr#am.Because boycotted, I don't read Olympics commentaries either, so had not seen that sort of drivel.-IainB (August 08, 2012, 09:54 PM)
It's almost as if they're busking on the street with a guitar and open case for handouts. They're certainly not compensated for their participation in a major commercial event. I find the way they are used rather disturbing.-Renegade (August 08, 2012, 10:11 PM)

Captain's ReportBuilt for Bond? Sea-Doo's GTX LimitedBy Captain Vince DanielloFor Sale: 1963 Aston Martin. Metallic silver. Bulletproof rear shield. Other custom features include machine guns behind parking lights, and smoke screen for emergency evasion. Replacing with Sea-Doo GTX Limited.Ok, it's a stretch, Bond would never do without a sporty convertible, but if he needs a personal watercraft for his next mission, this would be the one, with gadgets that would make Q proud. Not just bling, but useful tools, whether for tracking down arch criminals and saving the world, or just cruising on a laid-back Sunday afternoon. The most noticeable new device, a Garmin GPS, is mounted flush with the top of the glove box cover where it looks, at first glance, as though it's built in. In fact, it's a handheld that conveniently pops out of its bracket to take ashore, say for calling in an air strike on a secret enemy base. FeaturesSea-Doo redesigned the gauges too. In the past, a button on the handlebars scrolled the display through various configurations. Now everything is visible at a glance, with both analog and digital speed and tachometer displays, depth, fuel level, compass heading, and temperature always posted, important during high-speed evasive maneuvers, as are the dual rear-view mirrors. Up in the bow, the deep, 53 gallon storage compartment has a removable tray on top, keeping important items close at hand. Sea-Doo includes a small backpack lashed into the lid, and a removable soft-sided cooler, log book, safety package, and a watertight, crushproof dry box in the tray, although they could have made the dry box a bit bigger. It fits a wallet, keys, and cell phone fine, but is a bit tight for a Walther PPK and extra ammunition clip. Engine and PerformanceThe engine could come right from MI6's Research and Development too. Sea-Doo cranked up their 155 horsepower standard power plant by adding a supercharger and intercooler, boosting it to 215 horsepower, the most of any PWC on the market. Of the two common ways to force more air into an engine, and therefore burn more fuel for added power, turbochargers are the most prevalent. But while turbos are great for adding horsepower at top end, they derive their power from the engine's exhaust, which creates a delay from punching the throttle until the turbo kicks in, called turbo lag. Sea-Doo prefers a supercharger instead because it's driven by the engine itself, and therefore produces instant acceleration. The intercooler simply cools the air before going into the cylinders, increasing efficiency for even more power. Our test boat topped out at 64.7 mph, and accelerated from 0 to 30 mph in just 1.9 seconds. But since not everyone can drive like Bond, Sea-Doo includes a "learning key" safety lanyard that limits the engine to around 5000 RPM, or about 35 mph. Both the learning key lanyard and standard safety lanyard key are electronically coded for each boat, helping to deter theft without resorting to the explosive measures found on Bond's vehicles.If the GTX Limited is ever offered with a smokescreen option, it will take some creative engineering. Long gone are the days of two stroke marine engines, from all manufacturers, that seemed to produce a smokescreen any time they idled, in many ways Sea-Doo led this change. "With the GTX RFI back in 1998, we were the first to mass-produce a cleaner burning fuel injected watercraft. That was also the first model with noise reduction," said Tim McKercher, a Sea-Doo spokesman. The company was among the first to introduce clean burning four stroke engines, and today four-strokes are in all but the sporty stand-up 3-D model. Sea-Doo cuts back on noise with insulated air intakes, a quieter exhaust design, acoustical foam, and vibration mounts in what Sea-Doo calls their D-Sea-Bel noise reduction system. Any self-respecting super spy has to project a certain image, which Sea-Doo fortunately built into this PWC. The raised chrome trim is much classier than simple applied decals, and overall, Sea-Doo gave the GTX Limited a sophisticated look. This would likely be the most important feature to Ian Fleming's hero. At the end of every mission once Bond got his man, he always went home with the girl. Then again, this is the 21st century. I suspect MI6 has women "00" agents now, who presumably also require a certain panache, and would, correspondingly, always go home with the guy.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Sea-Doo GTX Limited (2006-) is 64.7 mph (104.1 kph), burning gallons per hour (gph) or N/A liters per hour (lph).
- Time from 0 to 30 of the Sea-Doo GTX Limited (2006-) is 1.9 sec. seconds.

Naked Rugby Returns! (NSFW-ish)
Nigel Campbell | November 12, 2013
Well well, once again there's a lot naked rugby happening, specifically from New Zealand team the Nude Blacks!
3News writes:
The Nude Blacks beat an Invitational 'Aussie' side five tries to four today at Alhambra Union ground in front of a sweltering crowd of 2,500.
With the Test match down the road being a dead-rubber, it's probably fair to say the Nude Blacks match had a lot more on the line.
We have no idea what any of that means.

In unexpected situation, Miley ready to start opener
SYDNEY -- Wade Miley refuses to look at himself as the D-backs' Opening Day starter.
It's not that the left-hander is nervous or overwhelmed by the moment, but rather, he is not going to celebrate something that came at the expense of a friend.
SYDNEY -- Wade Miley refuses to look at himself as the D-backs' Opening Day starter.
It's not that the left-hander is nervous or overwhelmed by the moment, but rather, he is not going to celebrate something that came at the expense of a friend.
Patrick Corbin had been scheduled to start the opener, but last Saturday, he suffered a partial tear of his ulnar collateral ligament and is all but certainly lost for the 2014 season.
"This is Pat's role," Miley said. "I'm just filling in for Pat. He earned it, he deserved it and it stinks what happened to him. It stinks for our team, it stinks for him for him as an individual, but he's a strong guy -- he'll be able to overcome this and hopefully next year be back where he belongs to be."
Miley was one of Arizona's best pitchers last year, going 10-10 with a 3.55 ERA in 33 starts, a solid encore for his rookie season in which he had a 3.33 ERA and finished second in the 2012 National League Rookie of the Year Award voting.
This spring, Miley has looked sharp from his first outing.
"He got built up real quick," D-backs general manager Kevin Towers said. "Solid mechanics, his fastball, his breaking ball. I think he's in the right frame of mind right now. Pretty confident."
Arizona had little hesitation in giving Miley the Opening Day start from a baseball standpoint, but the club weas a little nervous how the 27-year-old from Loranger, La., would handle the 15-hour plane ride to Australia.
The massive 747 chartered aircraft the D-backs flew over was by far the biggest plane Miley had flown on, but it was an easier trip than he initially feared.
While a plane ride might give him some jitters, Miley is the opposite on the mound.
"Game day, he's probably as loose and comfortable as any starter I've ever been around," Towers said. "You see him on game day, and you wouldn't know he's starting."
Before the injury to Corbin, Miley was not scheduled to come to Australia with the team. Instead, he was going to stay behind with fellow starters Brandon McCarthy and Bronson Arroyo to throw in a Minor League game.
With that in mind, Miley hadn't paid much attention to all the Australia talk, or about the historic Sydney Cricket Ground, where the games will take place.
"I was interested in it, but when people were talking about the Cricket Ground, I was like, 'Whatever,'" Miley said. "I wasn't going to see it."
Yet there Miley was on the D-backs' first day in Australia, walking on the hallowed grounds. He admitted to a few butterflies and was fascinated by the history that oozes from the main pavilion, which dates back to the 19th Century.
"It's pretty legit," he said.
So is Miley, who was selected by Arizona with the 43rd overall pick in the 2008 First-Year Player Draft.
Miley's rise through the D-backs' Minor League system was methodical, and despite posting solid numbers over eight games during his Major League debut season of 2011, he was left off the team's roster for the NL Division Series.
The following spring, it didn't appear that Miley would make the team out of Spring Training. He would later joke that he had his car packed to go to Triple-A Reno when an injury to Takashi Saito gave him a spot in the bullpen.
Eventually Miley took over for Josh Collmenter in the rotation, and he wound up making the All-Star team while going 16-11 with a 3.33 ERA.
Now Miley gets to experience an Opening Day start.
"Last year when I was in the dugout, I got jitters for Ian," Miley said of Ian Kennedy, who has started the last three openers for Arizona. "I can't imagine what Ian was going through. I just closed my eyes and put myself in that position. Everybody wants to do that. It's everyone's goal to be the best they can be. It hasn't really sunk in yet."
Miley was asked if the All-Star Game experience he had two years ago would help him manage his emotions in the opener.
"Yes and no," he said. "The All-Star Game is more about enjoyment. This is a real game."
Miley then paused as he realized that the D-backs are the home team in the series.
"It just hit me that it's going to be the first pitch of the baseball season, so that's pretty cool," Miley said.
When he was a kid, did he dream that he would be doing that?
"I never thought like that," Miley said. "I just always dreamed as a kid just to be at the highest level some day. I just want to keep going and see where it takes me."
So far, it's taken Miley from a small town in Louisiana to throwing the first pitch of the Major League Baseball season in Australia.

The landscape of hipster street style in Savannah has made itself increasingly more apparent in the past couple years.
When I came to Savannah in 2009, I was sort of disappointed in the lack of streetwear shops in this art-inclined city. The only spots for hipster threads was Urban Outfitters, Civvies or Clothing Warehouse. But that changed last year with the grand opening of Elev8ed Urban Supply Company.
A barely visible streetwear presence was suddenly on full-blast. Hipster streetwear go-tos are snap backs and five-panel caps, a dope pair of sneakers, a loud pair of socks, rolled-up jean cuffs, fixed gears bikes, and the list goes on.
Street style is how you give a passersby a glimpse into your personality in those few seconds your paths cross on your daily commute.

November 13, 2013 -
The United States and Canada are the only two advanced economies whose central banks have "dual mandates" of price stability equally weighted with another macroeconomic objective, members of the Financial Services Subcommittee on Monetary Policy and Trade learned today.
By law, the Federal Reserve is directed to both maximize employment and minimize inflation – commonly called its "dual mandate" – which has often led to confusion as to whether the Fed is paying more attention to price stability or labor market conditions at any given time.
At a hearing today comparing international central banking models, the subcommittee heard from witnesses that a more precise policy mandate, safeguarded by independence from the executive, bolsters a central bank's credibility and improves economic outcomes.
Professor Athanasios Orphanides with the Sloan School of Management at MIT quoted former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker as saying that the Fed "will inevitably fall short" if it is "asked to do too much."
Subcommittee Vice Chairman Bill Huizenga (R-MI) noted that central banks in other countries "work under a more focused or prioritized mandate or set of mandates."
"Some like myself believe that the employment component at a minimum has diverted the Fed's attention from the more important issue of low inflation which, in my opinion, should be the sole focus," said Huizenga. "In the worst case, an equal price stability and employment mandate has the potential for moral hazard, with the Fed playing off its regulatory role against its monetary role."

When you first look at Belladonna's Bitch Fist Dildo, one of two things will come to mind:
Reaction A - Ouch!
Reaction B - Wow that looks fun!
The large length and girth can be very intimidating to those who are new to sex toys, but it can also be very pleasurable, satisfying you in a way no other dildo can.
Products featured: Doc Johnson Jeff Stryker Cock and Balls Realistic Dildo, Doc Johnson Belladonna's Magic Hand Dildo, Cock Locker Inflatable Dildo, Lovehoney Enjoy Water-Based Lubricant
How to Use a Large Dildo
In four simple steps, you can be enjoying the full length and girth of a large dildo:
1. Clean your dildo
Even if you cleaned your large dildo the last time you used it or it's brand new, you should still give it a thorough wash in hot water or use a sex toy cleaner. This large sex toy is going to be delving in to your deepest internal regions and a good clean will ensure that you stay safe, hygienic and healthy for the best experience possible.
2. Lubricate, lubricate, lubricate!
The size and shape of this behemoth sex toy will dictate the kind of lubricant you should use. It is best to choose a lube that is thick and smooth, making it easy to use and comfortable too. A good quality lube like Lovehoney Enjoy Water-Based Lubricant is a good option. If you're planning on using a fist dildo, we advise taking a look at Doc Johnson Triple Duty Fisting Cream which is a silicone/water-based lubricant mixture. Thick and creamy, it takes the pain and hassle out of fisting in an instant.
3. Gentle, now!
With the extra length and girth, large dildos can be difficult to insert at first. Take it slowly and use positions that allow you to spread your body out. Try lying on your back with a pillow under your bottom, with your legs raised and spread. Alternatively, you may prefer to squat down over the dildo to have more control of the depth. Starting with a smaller dildo and working your way up to the larger size is a good idea.
4. Go forth, intrepid explorer!
Once you've gotten past the widest part of the dildo, your body should be more relaxed with allows you to explore the sensations in your own time. Some people like to twist the dildo inside to catch all the internal erogenous zones; others prefer to thrust in and out. Experiment to find out what you prefer - just remember to go slow and steady to prevent any injuries!
What is a fist dildo?
Just as the name suggests, fist dildos are sex toys based on the form of a hand.
Many of these dildos are in the usual clenched, fist position such as the Doc Johnson Belladonna's Bitch Fist, whilst many others are angled into a pointed shape, fingers first, for easier penetration, such as the Doc Johnson Belladonna's Magic Hand Dildo.
Enjoyed by women and men, fist dildos provide a 'full-up' sensation that stimulates your internal walls. They also provide a feeling of being stretched, which is a strong fantasy for many.
Are there any dangers of using something so big?
Yes and no. If you're using your large dildo sensibly you shouldn't run into any problems but rush into using your large dildo with no foreplay or warm-up, then you may experience tearing of the internal tissue, soreness and in some cases, bleeding.
If you go slowly, warm up with a smaller dildo first, use lots of lubricant (on yourself and the dildo) and listen to what your body is telling you, you should be able to enjoy every inch of this massive sex toy with ease.
If you start to feel any pain or discomfort, stop. Your body is not ready for something so large and you should take your time, re-apply the lubricant and be much gentler.
Many people worry that using large dildos will stretch them permanently, leaving them feeling 'loose' to their partner during sex. However, your body's natural elasticity will prevent this from happening and you will regain the tightness in your pelvic muscles just a day or two after having fun with your Bitch Fist Dildo. If you are particularly worried, try some kegel exercises to achieve optimum firmness very quickly.
All of this advice also applies to using a real human fist, however remember to remove any jewellery before adventuring into this exciting new territory!

You can Contact Customer Care, who will be able to help you find the perfect dildo. You can email, telephone or live chat to an experienced advisor 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

IBM Medical Social Network – Patient Portal
John Lynn is the Founder of the HealthcareScene.com blog network which currently consists of 10 blogs containing over 8000 articles with John having written over 4000 of the articles himself.

I found an interesting article on Fast Company talking about the Facebook for Patients. Of course, I'm a sucker for anything that says Facebook and patients, so I had to check it out.
Turns out the article talks about a new Medical Social Network from IBM. Officially it's being called the IBM Patient Empowerment System. From the description, it's an interesting mix of PHR functions where you record your health information, patient to patient interaction like PatientsLikeMe, patient to doctor interaction, and even FDA alerts and drug checking.
Of course, I wanted to try this IBM patient empowerment system out myself, but the article didn't have a link to it. So, I headed to Google and found no website, but the first result was this video about the IBM PHR along with some press releases:
Pretty hard to judge a system if you can't use it. Plus, it's hard to interact with other patients if patients can't find the portal.
I suspect that the reason I can't find the portal is that it seems like they're doing a beta test of the website with Gacheon University Gil Hospital in Korea. It doesn't seem like they've opened up the system to everyone yet. It will be interesting to see if they continue to do a partner based approach for rolling out the IBM PHR or if they choose to open it up to anyone and everyone that wants to join.
I'd say the most controversial part of what they're doing is probably the FDA alerts and drug checking. This tweet by Neil Versel, blogger at Meaningful Health IT news, describes why these types of alerts and information is going to require a change:
Attitude adjustment needed, stat! RT @amednews: Only 8% of doctors say online research done by patients is helpful http://bit.ly/g5Yrzq
— Neil Versel (@nversel) March 12, 2011
The challenge to doctors is whether IBM does it or someone else, the empowered patient is already happening. IBM's Facebook for Patients is just one piece in the puzzle.

I asked the family how are people being like that Ramadan is at their doors now. Dad said that everyone seems so frustrated that Ramadan starts just right before school starts in Egypt. Pretty frustrating for everyone. That also brought the black memories to my mind about me being attacked and sexually harassed last year. Hard to forget, but I am trying to move on.
I am very happy to be somewhere else at this time of the year. I hope those who caused my big pain will not enjoy the month at all and end up in pain, too.
Happy Ramadan to those who are worth it.

^The manga is a monthly released towards the end of every month (correct me if i am wrong) but takes time for it to get scanlated so you are going to have to wait like us if you cant read Japanese.
Also there are magazine releases but those i have no idea when they are released.

Spoiler for 59-2:
(Since, I don't plan, to reveal anything, from the latest chapter, it can probably be posted, without the spoiler tags )
I think that the reason why Tsukune was chosen, by the Headmaster, is because of his personality, and blood taste , which made him into a good partner for Outer Moka (and eventually, Inner Moka, as well).
In the same way, Hokuto's admittance into the Academy, was probably based on the personality traits, that made Kiria, interested in him.
In other words, I doubt that Tsukune had any sort of genetic predisposition to survive the injection of Moka's blood - the primary thing that, I think the Headmaster wanted to do, is to allow a few "chosen" ayashi to develop some "honest" relationships with a "ordinary" human, proving that coexistence between monsters and humans is possible, and the "transformations" that Tsukune and Hokuto go through, is only a side effect of that "choice".
At least that's my current speculation on this topic... we will have to wait and see, what Ikeda himself is going to say about this topic..

After all, it was mentioned in the first season (I can't remember the actual chapter number), that the Bus Driver fells sort of responsible for Tsukune and what happens to him.
It has been also shown, that he has some mysterious ability to find out, what is actually happening in the human world, despite not actually even being there, so it wouldn't be a stretch to assume that he can also use this ability to find some specific person, who... for example would have a matching personality to the one, that Outer Moka has got.
At least that's what comes to my mind, at the moment...

Anyways more than likely it is probably the bus driver being the one who enters the human world often. I think the potential is shown there. I'm not 100% sure about this but it looks like a lot of his time is spent in the human world. Note that the bus driver comes from that 4th dimensional tunnel.
Also another thought on:

So the next chapter is going to be released in the next month, as usual.

Anyway, I would say, it was quite a good chapter. We have finally learned some new information about Tsukune's transformation, and in the next chapters I believe that we will see the steps taken, to avoid the worst option, from occurring.
And I would say that it was enjoyable to see that Tsukune has developed into such a badass...
I also wouldn't say that all the facts about Tsukune's transformation have been revealed to us, there is going to be obviously some more information that haven't been revealed to us, since I doubt that even Gyokuro knows about everything that is happening within Tsukune's body...

RVIA PR Efforts Gain National Media Attention
April 12, 2013 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on RVIA PR Efforts Gain National Media Attention
The Recreation Vehicle Industry Association's (RVIA) public relations team has been working throughout the winter and early spring to promote the RV industry and lifestyle in the media nationwide.
According to a press release, the effort has resulted in a multitude of positive RV stories highlighting the industry's growth in shipments, as well as key messages about the affordability, fun and flexibility of RV travel.
Stories have appeared in national and local media outlets. Here are a few highlights from the national media:
• On March 1, USA Today reported that motorhome shipments rose 13.6% in 2012 and were expected to rise approximately the same amount in 2013. The story cited RVIA statistics, included quotes from industry executives, and discussed the falling unemployment rate in Elkhart County.
• On Feb. 21, The Wall Street Journal published an article about the RV industry bouncing back from the recession. The story focused primarily on upscale design features now available in towable RVs.
• A Jan. 28 story that appeared on Today.com reported on the Kelloggs — a family with 12 children that sold their house to live full-time on the road in an RV.
• On Jan. 27, RV tailgating was highlighted on the FOX News morning show "Fox & Friends." The segment featured sportswriter Kerry Byrne, who also published blog entries and videos highlighting the RV lifestyle on the popular NFL site ColdHardFootballFacts.com.
RVIA has also worked with show promoters across the country to generate media coverage of the new products and record crowds reported at RV shows. Positive stories about the industry's growing sales and popularity appeared in dozens of local media outlets around the country. For full details, visit the "News Room" at RVIA.org.

Thank you for your loyalty and creativity! Unfortunately, after more than 13 years,
we have to take MAGNOTO offline as of 25th of May 2018
. New, much stricter data protection regulations (DSGVO) and an old technology make this step necessary in the short term.
As stated in our terms and conditions (
), we may cancel the service at any time.

Swimming with glee
Added Oct 9, 2012
by alasse
Munich, Germany
I love the TV show Glee. In one of the episodes of the third season the girls were wearing these georgeous retro bathing suits and I immediately wanted one.
I was overjoyed when I realized how similar these bathing suits were to the Alison pattern here on burdastyle!
I first made a test piece out of regular jersey and had to adjust the length of the torso slightly, then I made the suit out of navy blue lycra. The stripy insert at the front is actually just regular jersey doubled with white lycra so it doesn't get see-through. It takes a little bit longer to dry, but I couldn't find white and red striped bathing suit fabric anywhere. I'm planning on making the little skirt as well (so cute!) but I didn't have the time before my holiday and now it's definitely autumn here in Germany and I won't need the bathing suit for quite a while…
With the small pattern adjustments the Alison pattern is really great and I will probably make another one for next year!
Go check out my blog, if you feel like it :)

It isn't any different from sewing jersey or other knits. I have been terrified of those for quite a while but with a well adjusted overlock machine it's super quick and easy! Be brave! ;)

NetBSD on the Kurobox
From NAS-Central Buffalo - The Linkstation Wiki
This page describes how to get NetBSD working on your Kurobox (I only tested the Kurobox HG).
Steps to install are from http://www5.atwiki.jp/kuro-bsd/pages/168.html but I elaborated more on the details. Unfortunately I don't speak Japanese so I had to find some things out on my own.
