ABSTRACT: Myelomeningocele, a severe form of spina bifida, occurs in approximately 1 in 3,000 live births in the United States. The extent of disability is generally related to the level of the myelomeningocele defect, with a higher upper level of lesion generally corresponding to greater deficits. Open maternal–fetal surgery for myelomeningocele repair is a major procedure for the woman and her affected fetus. Although there is demonstrated potential for fetal and pediatric benefit, there are significant maternal implications and complications that may occur acutely, postoperatively, for the...

A delicious and easy recipe for Vegan French Toast coated with flax eggs and walnuts, and doused in maple syrup.
Even if the nationwide salmonella outbreak from contaminated eggs hasn't actually made you sick, the horror stories that have emerged from the farms that produced these eggs have surely made you want to throw up your omelet?
The ongoing, nationwide recall of more than half-billion eggs has given us more evidence than we should possibly need that eggs hurt– both the humans who consume them and the hens who are forced to produce them like machines while living in conditions no sentient creature should ever have to endure. Federal investigators this week found the henhouses in the two farms where the salmonella-tainted eggs originated, Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms, were stacked with eight-feet-high piles of manure, and crawling with rats and flies and maggots that "crunched under foot."
It's a pretty safe bet that conditions at egg farms around the world are no different. Worse, hens at these farms go through immense suffering that has been observed and chronicled by organizations like the Humane Society of the United States:
Like birds raised for meat, chickens in the egg industry suffer immensely—beginning right after birth. Male chicks are considered byproducts, as they're unable to lay eggs and aren't bred for meat production. Millions each year are gassed, crushed, or thrown into garbage bins to die from dehydration or asphyxiation. Most female chicks are painfully mutilated without any anesthesia. The tips of their sensitive beaks are sliced off with a hot blade, making it difficult for them to grasp food…
More than 95 percent of hens in U.S. factory farms are intensively confined in small, wire "battery cages," stacked several tiers high and extending down long warehouses. Hens are given less space than the area of a letter-sized sheet of paper in which to eat, sleep, lay eggs, and defecate…After two years, the hens are no longer profitable and are ripped from the cages, limbs often tearing, as teams work at an hourly rate of up to1,500 birds, sometimes holding seven hens at a time. As with broiler chickens and turkeys, egg-laying hens are crammed in crates stacked on transport trucks and denied food, water, or protection from extreme temperatures during their journey to slaughter.
At the slaughter plant, the birds are dumped onto conveyors and hung upside down in shackles by their legs. In the United States, federal regulations do not require birds to be rendered unconscious before they are slaughtered… Birds have their throats cut by hand or machine. As slaughter lines run at rapid speeds (up to 8,400 chickens per hour), mistakes are common and some birds are still conscious as they enter tanks of scalding water intended to loosen their feathers.
Does that sound like a horror story? It is, a very real one at that, and who in their right heads would want any part of it?
If all that still isn't enough, and if you still actually believe eggs are good for you, chew on this: a single egg contains more than 200 milligrams of cholesterol– that's more cholesterol than you'll find in a McDonald's Angus Beef Burger or in a KFC Double Down sandwich or, in fact, in almost any disgusting fast-food menu item out there.
Doesn't sound healthy to me.
Whether you're a vegan or not, eggs are by far one of the easiest foods to replace in your diet. Look at my vegan substitutes page for ideas on how to bake, cook and eat egglessly and healthfully and — big bonus– minus that absolutely yucky eggy stink.
And now, so I can put my egg substitute where my mouth is, here's my completely eggless Vegan French Toast recipe which would convert the hardiest egg aficionado. It's not just delicious, but it is actually good for you.
Enjoy my vegan French toast!
- 5 slices wholegrain bread (use a mild-flavored grain, like wheat-- not rye or sourdough, unless you actually happen to like your French toast with those breads)
- 1 cup soymilk
- 1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or agave nectar
- 2 tbsp flaxmeal
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup walnuts, finely crushed (optional)
- Oil to coat skillet or griddle in a thin layer
- Place all ingredients except the bread, walnuts and oil in a shallow container and mix well.
- Place the walnuts in a separate dish
- Dip the slices of bread one by one in the batter and coat on either side. I let them soak about 20-30 seconds on each side.
- Dip into the walnuts
- Heat a skillet and coat with a thin layer of oil
- Place a slice of the French toast on the skillet and cook on each side until golden brown.
- Serve hot with a drizzle of maple syrup or agave nectar

Update: I was thinking of including this in my original post because I knew someone would inevitably raise it: that vegetables like spinach and tomato have also been recalled for salmonella contamination in the past. It's like that ultimate argument weapon in a meat- or egg-eater's arsenal.
Unfortunately for them, though, I do have an answer: It's the meat, stupid (that's not original, by the way, but I just couldn't resist it!)
Salmonella are intestinal bacteria that grow and flourish in animal intestines. Since vegetables don't have an intestine, the reason they get contaminated is because germs from chicken and cow feces in animal farms contaminate waterways used for irrigating vegetables. It's been proven time and again in federal and state investigations of these salmonella outbreaks.
The bottom line is this: animal farming is what causes salmonella. And stopping animal farming and giving up animal products is the only way to stop future infections of anything we put into our mouths.
Let's all toast to that!

Neo Meet this year anyone. I saw Finngamer at the 3DS launch party on tuesday and we thought that it would be nice to arrange a meet again.
When and where I'll be there.
Nobody else? These meetings have been great before, shame we couldn't get the last one quite organized, but lets not fail this time
I would be interested too! If the meeting day is OK to me...
Uppista! Well the meeting didnt happen!!! Should we start thinking new meeting?
It would be nice to meet again!
Yeah, paticularly after the last attempt didn't go anywhere... we need someone to offer a place and time, then see if it fits. I would offer but I have family, so the house is seldom free.
P.s. TaiDOmi, wish like hell I knew you were selling your Jag, annoyed I missed that... also annoying was the same a$$h0le who bought yours basically stole another one off me at Huuto, why the fk he needs 2?
I'm in if I'm in town!
* Proud owner of an original NeoGeo MVS JapCab *
I'm going to see if I can negotiate a free evening for my place, but that's gonna be REAL tricky (family man), while I check that out if anyone else has something then say!
Hopefully the meet will be held this time. It's been at least... three years since the last meeting? And congratulations Finn for the boy!
Well, I just spent a bunch of money on NEO stuff this month, hope I can show it when we meet
I asked 'The Government' about having the house for a night... no verdict as yet.... Please, if anyone else has ideas!
It may be possible to do something at my place. Remember though ppl will need to bring Hardware, I don't have any cabs like Finngamer either.

Raz: N T F, do we go another round, to see who is the true golf master?... even though we know it's Finn

Another few months have passed and we didn't get a meeting sorted... shall we try again... I think it really needs to start with someone offering a place & time, which as usual I can't do because of family.... but also as usual I am willing to travel, road trips are fun.

An important new report on atrazine was published yesterday and it's about time. Pesticide Action Network and Land Stewardship Project have brought together the science and farming communities to make a strong statement about the need for a new review of the herbicide atrazine and to outline the alternatives for its use. This group is also critical of Syngenta's past success blocking good science and its production of bad science to back its claims of atrazine's largely benign properties.

"Desperate" describes my first effort to stay afloat in the FlowRider, a wave machine at the water park of the Radisson.
My instructor, a bearded big kahuna named Nick Hernandez, is calling directives. I can't hear him well because of the churning roar all around me. "... your elbows," I think he is saying. "Don't bend your feet." Or maybe, "Bend your feet."
Ultimately, I do little right. I am flipped into the rushing current and sent hurtling back up an incline. There I wash ashore, a skinny, white piece of driftwood.
Whatever drove me to such saturated madness? Then I remember: the yearnings of youth.
When I was a sophomore in high school, a new student showed up one day, a transfer from Huntington Beach, Calif. In my mind, anyone from a town with "beach" in its name had to be cool. And Steve McArthur was cool. A curtain of blond hair fell across his face, and he wore Hawaiian shirts in the dead of winter. Rumor had it he knew a Beach Boy.
What is it about surfing that grabs people who don't live near the ocean? Is it that we can only dream of doing it? To that end I admit reading anything written about Laird Hamilton. He may be the coolest alpha dog in the pound. He's married to a drop-dead dazzling model / volleyball star, and his vocation is apparently to ride waves as tall as five-story buildings.
Until a week and a half ago, I had never tried surfing. I had bodyboarded a couple of times while vacationing near the Pacific Ocean, and my memory is of gentle swells and lots of seaweed.
Earlier this summer I heard someone mention that the Radisson has a water park that includes a surfing venue. Not outside, mind you, but indoors. I also heard the hotel operates a surf school.
I called the Radisson and was transferred to the water park. I told a young woman named Angel that I wanted to sign up for surf school.
"Awesome," she said.
I asked Angel what the busiest day was because I wanted to be around other students. Angel recommended Saturday mornings.
"Put me down for this Saturday," I said.
]photo]Surf school at the Radisson begins at 9 a.m. before the water park opens. I awoke excited—until I turned on the radio and caught an update on Arnold Schwarzenegger's son. He's the boy who was seriously injured bodyboarding in California. I reminded myself I would be surfing in tranquil, indoor waters. There would be no seaweed, I was fairly certain. Besides, it was hot as hell outside. Didn't I want to be cool?
The Radisson's water park is a massive building that holds not only a surfing area but several play pools, waterslides and a winding pleasantry known as a lazy river.
The surfing room, and it is a room, contains a tank measuring about 15 yards by 10 yards. Hernandez informs me that I will be the only one in surf school this morning.
"But I was told there would be a bunch of people."
He shrugs. "I think a lot of people who don't know about this aren't coming."
An image of the Schwarzenegger kid flashes across my brain.
"Sign right here," Hernandez says, "and here and here."
The FlowRider is a device that recycles thousands of gallons of sheet waves and sends them down an incline and back up at 30 mph. Wave Loch Inc., headquartered in La Jolla, Calif., installed the first FlowRider in Texas in 1991. There are now more than 100 around the world, including some on cruise ships. The Radisson's FlowRider opened March 12, 2010.
Hernandez, I learn, has never surfed in an ocean. He grew up in Socorro. He was taught to surf indoors by a team from Wave Loch. He goes to UNM, where he studies psychology and says he wants to work with PTSD sufferers. I hope I am not among them.
"What do you want to do first?" he asks. "Surf or bodyboard?"
I study the incline. It stands perhaps 5 feet high.
"It's pretty safe," he says.
Pretty safe?
"Well, no one has drowned here that I know of."
I tell him I'd like to warm up with a bodyboard. "I've done that," I say. "I'm decent at it."
Hernandez nods. He's clearly heard such words before. "Listen," he says, "all we're really doing here is hydroplaning."
The moment I hit the water I discover the FlowRider produces waves a lot stronger than any I encountered in the Pacific. The power of the machine surprises the crap out of me.
I go down, hydroflaming.
When I pick myself up at the back wall of the FlowRider, Hernandez is there to meet me. "This is a lot harder than it looks," I tell him, struggling to catch my breath.
"It's a lot simpler than it seems," he says.
After two more tries—neither of them photo-op worthy—he has me attempt a turn on my body board.
That's when my swimsuit malfunctions.
The suit doesn't rip or tear; it comes off. Sucked completely from my body by the heavy jets of water. Suddenly I am glad to be the only student at surf school.
"That happens," Hernandez says laughing. "Want another suit?"
No, I think, I usually hang 10 naked. "If you have one, please."
He brings me spare lifeguard trunks. I tie so many knots in the drawstring a tsunami can't remove it.
He says it's time for me to kneel on my bodyboard.
The first time I try this, I am halfway up on my knees and thinking, Piece of cake. That's when the board leaves me in its wake. Flung backward up the incline, I gulp water and stub my toe before being deposited.
"We're going to bodysurf now," Hernandez says, as if I've earned the honor.
Bodysurfing? That sounds doable. No board, no problems.
"Lie flat," he says, "and shove the board forward, away from you. As you do that, raise your arms up. Got it?"
Had it, for a nanosecond.
Back up the hill I pinwheel, flotsam in a frenzy of foam.
Hernandez pulls me from this reverie by telling me to follow him to the front of the FlowRider. He has me stand on a narrow piece of hard Styrofoam. Marc Montoya, another lifeguard, holds my surfboard steady. Hernandez takes a thick rope and hands one end to me. He holds the other end. The plan is to ease me out into the FlowRider. Supposedly I will get the feeling of surfing by holding the rope. When I am stable enough, I will let go of the rope.
"Remember," Hernandez says, "keep all your weight on your back foot. If you go down, tuck in your chin."
"Ever have whiplash?"
I am at an age when I occasionally forget things. This time I forget everything.
I don't put my weight on my back foot and I don't tuck in my chin. The result is about seven seconds of chaos. Flopping backward, I clunk my head. By clutching the rope like a lifeline, I wrench my left shoulder.
Surf school? I belong in smurf school.
After I pack up my belongings, I thank Hernandez and return the swimsuit, which takes me 10 minutes to unknot.
Back home later that day, I Google "death by FlowRider." I can find no evidence of a fatality. However, I do find lawsuits filed against Wave Loch for injuries. Many of those legal actions seem to come from people traveling on cruise ships. Pity the poor cruisers. They either get thrown overboard in some drunken sex romp, or they throw out their backs on a FlowRider.
I had asked Hernandez if I was the worst surfer he had ever seen. He paused and stroked his beard.
That pause worried me.
"No, no," he said finally. Then this: "You're gonna be sore tomorrow."
But I'll be alive.

That and the fact is it's very fast and responsive, does what I need from a computer, I know how (a lot more than Linux) it works so I can fix it if needed/adjust it to suit my preferences.
Others Milage may vary etc. etc, and it's not for everyone. But what else do you want from an OS anyway?

LIPSCOMB WHERE ARE THEY NOW - Julia Davidson Salgueiro
Julia Davidson Salgueiro is a project engineer working primarily in the area of roadways. She holds a B.S. degree from Lipscomb University and is studying for her Master's through Norwich University.
She played a number of positions in softball including shortstop for two seasons and right field as a senior. She is still active in softball serving as president of her local youth softball league. She coaches and gives private lessons in softball in addition to playing slow-pitch in a city league.
Despite her busy schedule she spent some time this week talking with lipscombsports.com.
What sport did you play at Lipscomb? What years? Who were your coaches?
"I played softball from 2003-2007. My coaches were Andy Lane, Cheryl Wilson and Kristin Peck Ryman."
What is your fondest athletic memory at Lipscomb?
"I hit the first home run at Draper Diamond in a game against Alabama A & M. I was a home run hitter and batted third in the line-up. I wouldn't say I expected it. I always would go up to bat hoping for a good outcome.
"What was so fun about that day was there was a base runner so I knocked in two runs with my home run to dead center. Then Heather Collins, batting fourth, hit a home run. So we had back-to-back home runs which was fun."
Who had the biggest influence on you during your athletic career at Lipscomb? How?
"Kristin Peck Ryman. She had the whole student-athlete thing down. I was impressed with her that she was able to play both volleyball and softball at the NCAA Division I level and get things done successfully.
"Overall, she was a good player and a good leader. She was good model when it came to balancing time and being able to focus both on academics and being a strong leader."
What is your fondest non-athletic memory from your time at Lipscomb?
"I had a lot of fun at ADVANCE before I even started school. I was able to meet students and get an idea of what campus life was like.
"I had an official visit, but it was a holiday weekend and there wasn't any school going on. So to able to attend chapel and university Bible were good experiences during ADVANCE. I met a couple of my teammates and was so excited to go to school after that."
What is the most valuable thing you gained or learned from your time at Lipscomb?
"A sense of pride and commitment. My team had a lot of ups and downs. I learned that as long as we had each other as teammates you can get through anything."
Who was your favorite professor? Why?
Dr. Doy Hollman and Dr. Gary Hall.
"Dr. Hollman was my math professor for quite a few semesters. He just made it fun. I always enjoyed mathematics. He kept it entertaining and interesting. He was always in the happiest of moods and was truly dedicated to helping everyone. If you were struggling he would put in the extra time to help you.
"Dr. Hall was also a math professor that I really looked up to. He really cared about his students. I was in the Math Club. He would have us over to his home for dinner. He just really related to his students very well."
Where do you live now?
"Santa Cruz, Calif."
Who is your employer? What is your occupation? What does your position entail?
"I have been working as a project engineer for Granite Construction Company for the past five years. I am part of a management team. We manage civil construction projects."
Tell us about your family.
"My husband's name is Jason. We were married in 2009, seven years to the day from the first day we met. We don't have any children, but we do have a bunch of animals."

Emmett's Micro-Nursery
Name: Emmett (6 months)
Location: Washington, Iowa
When we found out that a little baby that would join our family at the beginning of the year, we had lots of room in our hearts, but not much in the house. Our 120-year-old home is currently separated into two living spaces; ours only having one bedroom, so a big nursery was completely out of the question.
That's when we decided to make Emmett something I like to call a micro-nursery. We turned our old, walk-in closet off our bedroom into a tiny little space just perfect for a little dude.
Measuring about four by five feet, it became a great challenge for me to design something fun, yet versatile. The space was so small we had to completely disassemble the cradle and reassemble it in the closet, piece by piece! Utilizing a handful of baskets, the tall cupboard - original with the house, and a minimalist's mindset; we were able to create a nursery that has served Emmett well for the early months of his life.
Most of the furnishings for the room were handmade by either my mom or myself; from the monkey cradle sheets to the thermal window curtain and the bright banner around the shelf.
As our family grows and we transition into the rest of our home, I will always have fond memories of our first baby's little space that was all his own.
Thanks, Nicole! Readers, say hello to Nicole at Today is My Favorite.

- Series Hub: Spurs-Heat
SAN ANTONIO — Tony Parker will play tonight in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
"I'll be ready to go," the All-Star point guard said after participating in the San Antonio Spurs' Thursday morning shootaround.
Parker provided no other information about the status of his ailing right hamstring. An MRI on Wednesday revealed a Grade 1 strain and he was listed as day-to-day. With each inquiry about pain or limited mobility, Parker stuck with the mantra, "I'll be ready to go."
The Spurs lead the series, 2-1.
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich was first to break the good news, but also kept any information regarding Parker's ability to play at or near full strength, or if he'll take precaution in how he'll utilize Parker to himself: "He'll play," Popovich said. "Tony's ready to go."
That's huge news for the Spurs, who desperately need their leading scorer and assist man of the postseason to orchestrate the offense against the Heat's defense.
"When he's going, he's pretty much our whole offense," said reserve guard Gary Neal, who said Parker looked good during a light shootaround. "We pretty much feed off of him as far as him scoring or him making plays for other people to score. That's a big brick off of our shoulders that Tony's coming out and playing tonight."
Parker is averaging 23.1 ppg and 7.1 apg while shooting 47 percent in the playoffs.

A cameraman in Oman has become a YouTube sensation after a fantastic piece of skill during the Sultan Qaboos Cup match between Salalah and Sur.
And, whilst Salalah won the game 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw, it was the man behind the camera who has emerged as the unlikely star of the match.
Despite having to keep hold of some pretty old-school equipment in-front of him, the cameraman judged the flight of the ball perfectly as it drifted towards him.
Controlling the ball instantly with the outside of his right foot, the mystery man provided the perfect first-time pass into the arms of an onrushing player.
The cameraman's footwork was doubly impressive when you consider his attire, with traditional dress offering little in the way of room for manoeuvre in the legs.
Having watched the video several times at GiveMeFootball Towers, we think it's the perfect festive clip to bring in the New Year.
Check out the fantastic skill below, and let us know your thoughts on the tasty trick...

With Samsung's Galaxy Gear officially announced, the Smartwatch market has gotten a little bigger, but users are still have few choices. The only other viable option for an Android smartwatch would be the Sony Smartwatch 2. Both options ship with unique features, but there are a few things that you should know before jumping head first when the smartwatches become available.
Here's a quick overview of some of the pros and cons between the Galaxy Gear and Smartwatch 2:
The Galaxy Gear ships with a 1.63 inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 320×320, where Sony's Smartwatch 2 ships with a 1.6 inch LCD display with a resolution of 220×176. Clearly, the Galaxy Gear has an edge on the Smartwatch 2 here, but we do question how well the Gear's display will fare in direct sunlight.
Unique Features
While both smartwatches essentially set out to do the same thing, there are a few unique features that set the devices apart.
For starters, the Galaxy Gear ships with a 1.9 megapixel camera. Boom. Do you need a camera on a smartwatch? Probably not, but it's definitely a cool feature to have. The Gear also comes in 6 different color options, including Jet Black, Mocha Gray, Wild Orange, Oatmeal Beige, Rose Gold, and Lime Green. On the flip side of that, the Sony Smartwatch 2 lets the users swap wrist bands with any standard 24mm strap.
The Galaxy Gear also features voice control, which is something you won't find on the Smartwatch 2, but Sony's offering still has a few more tricks.
Not only does the Smartwatch 2 ship with NFC for easy smartphone pairing, but it's also water-resistant. NFC is definitely useful for an easy connection experience, but the fact that the Smartwatch 2 is water-resistant is a great feature that makes the watch a bit more functional for real world use.
The Samsung Galaxy Gear can only be used with other Galaxy devices, where the Sony Smartwatch 2 can be used with any Android smartphone running 4.0 or higher. Since Samsung owns the market, it can make the Gear a Galaxy-only device (that requires Android 4.3 and up), but we do wish the smartwatch itself would be compatible with more Android devices.
At the end of the day, both smartwatches have their pros and cons, and the decision will be up for the user to decide which device is right for them.
Which smartwatch interests you more, or are you waiting on something better to come along? Sound off in the comments below!

Sarah's "Slate and Stone" Room
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Sarah

- Division:

- Inspiration for my palette:
- A mix of wanting to use colour to highlight the architectural details, like the genuinely shabby-chic gilt mirror that is standard issue in old Parisian apartments, and the herringbone wood floor, yet also work with what we've got (essentially, a lot of flat-pack furniture and a large green couch).
- Colors used in my room:
- Farrow and Ball paint: Stone White, Stone Blue plus a lichen green warmed up generous splashes of oranges, burgundies, and warm reds.
- Tips for using color successfully:
- A bold accent wall gives a small room more depth! And to offset a lot of cool colours with touches of warm - in our case, our curtains, throws, and wood.

I think a part of her just wants him to charge in, shining sword in hand, horsed on a great stallion, loudly demand her release and consequences be damned. Must be a bit disappointing that he plays the thief instead of the fighter. Can't blame him though, he's a merchant.
Another part of her just luv'd it that he went for her after all.
I tell you, she's evil. It's five episodes in and he's already ready to die for her.
It's quite interesting though. Despite her constant proclamations of her aged (ageless?) wisdom, she appears to be quite the emotional wolf. A merchant boy of 25 rescuing her is enough to bring out a big reaction. I guess I thought she'd be more composed what's with having lived for centuries and probably experienced her share of excitements. Guess not.
I don't mind either, it's cuter this way.
Despite the rising Chloe-hate, I can see how she views it that way. Besides, she makes a good antagonist, with just enough complicated intentions to be believable and also just enough connections with the main character to create drama, not to mention just enough cuteness to be even likable. I'm still curious though, who's the shepherd girl? Is she a volume 2 character since she's not likely to show up next episode any time soon?
Otherwise, another fun episode of mercantile schemes and secret operations; though I seriously don't like next episode's title! >_<

Revenge is needed for Chloe shocking Horo enough to make her cry.
Henceforth, the Horo mask from the festival needs to follow Chloe around. Anytime she's alone, it must be there. Say, when she goes into her bedroom it shall be hanging on the inside of the door, or even better: hidden under the blankets so she won't see it right away. No matter where she leaves it, no matter how she tries to get rid of it, it must return and be waiting for her everywhere, grinning at her, haunting her. Driving her mad.
A pity that won't happen.
As for Chloe and her role in things, some people have said that she's actually been put in the place of a manga character, which suggests that the true story can still be followed even with her involved.
Horo wasn't quite thinking her best, getting angry at Lawrence. Sure, he didn't show up in person to rescue her and attack their enemies, but he's not a wolf. He fought for her using HIS weapons: diplomacy, cunning, blackmail, and did so quite effectively. You don't expect a stag to fight with tooth and claw: they use their antlers. Just the same, don't expect a merchant to fight like a soldier: instead he'll use the weapons he knows.
Adorable Horo is adorable!
I LOVE how she's all trying to define their relationship as pure business "I would have cried even if it wasn't you, don't misunderstand" and he goes along with it and she gives him that sad, abandoned look of hers:
"Isn't that unfair?"
"It's the special privilege of being female."

I'm speculating the purpose of the Chloe insertion into that character role in the anime is to show that Lawrence *has* an escape route back to "normal human living" ... and the fact that he doesn't take it (so far) emphasizes what he feels about Horo to a viewing audience. Concrete examples work better in visual medium than verbal exposition.
edit: I didn't realize it but grey_moon a few posts down, astutely points out my idea as basically a "red pill or the blue pill" choice for Lawrence though he makes it on a daily basis rather than as a pivotal event.

I'm sure Horo knows that Lawrence fought in his way. Though you can't help but want the big spectacular rescue. Your companion coming in to your rescue with sword raised high. Sadly Horo is too human to actually fulfill that kind of expectation.
Not that surprised that she has had a couple crying moments in the series. No matter how experienced you are hundreds of years in isolation are going to be hard on you.

So i have seen the subbed version now my thoughts are pretty much the same as they were before with a little extra.
What made this episode for me were 2 parts. The first being how well Lawrence handled himself in the plans to rescue Horo, which was his major concern. I feel he did all he could and the deal he made with Milian company worked for ensuring Horos resuce.
The second which was my favorite of all, was the interactions of Horo and Lawrence after the rescue. Horo was really pissed when she says something she means it and she told Horo to come for her, as romantic as that would have been it would not have been a good idea. However once again we are treated to range of emotion from Horo as well as Lawrence. Lawrence patting her head and her wiggling her ears was just too cute. Several moments hinted quite heavily at developing feelings on both sides but i really cant tell for sure. But when Lawrence said he thought Horo was cute she blushed and took his hand and stated "that makes me happy" It could be perceived as Horo being playful again but i didnt get that feeling this time. So in mind a developing romance is still viable. Since i think Horo is starting not to think of Lawrence as just some human.
Chole is still on my shit list for making Horo shed tears of sorrow. Its funny because i see why Chole thinks the way she does. People just dont understand how the nature of land works. Horo gave them some bad harvest to let the land rest so it would not be overworked. The people still received more bountiful harvests that most villages should have had. In all honesty if it had not been for Horo the humans probably would exhausted the land long ago. Now that Horo has left that land to head North you can bet that the village will not be seeing as good harvests anymore as Horo is not blessing the land.
Best Horo Quotes of episode 5
1."If youre a male you shouldve sharpened your fangs and gone into battle." (This was definitely the wolf side of Horo talking here LOL)
2. "Im cute, so even human males fall in front of me. But no human can take me. Told them their thing would fall off if they touched me. They all turned blue with fear."
(OMG i almost pissed myself I was laughing so hard. So um if i was Lawrence i would try to confirm somethings like could a human and a wolfgod get it on if they wanted to?)

good episode, no regret watch it. Happy to see Horo save and unharm, but that words was really hurt her. Hate that girl....
From the preview, Horo transform to real form, failed to run? Hopefully wont be a sad episode.

My god I'm an idiot. I watched that preview 10 times (or something) and just figured out that it was Horo's wolf form picking up the pouch. I need to sit down, how did I not see that? Wasn't sure what it was for a while .
So yeah the only people who are going to be sad are the fools that force Horo to go into her wolf form. But if she is changing down there its going to be pretty cramped.

If she was really doing it for the village, then she wouldn't have to turn Horo in. The village was using Horo's festival as one big party now anyways. Turning in their deity to the Church for execution is going to create some bad blood for her in the village afterwards. No excuse to party if Horo's gone. She interrupted the festival to be taken away on business. I bet they were a little miffed at that prospect. She's not even home taking care of business so she might be losing income at home on this coin venture.
If that Count was really teaching them, then she should have been told about resting the land, crop rotations etc and not have to spout stuff about Horo's whims.
She's gonna be in a bad way when it blows up in her face imo.
I still bet that DVD only episode involves a Lawrence x Horo sex scene. Watch ep. 7. Find out if something important to Lawrence really falls off. Remember fans, it's DVD only.

@Vexx - Love the theory about Chole being the blue pill
@Sinestra - Even if the "thing" does fall off, would you not sacrifice it for one moment of happiness oO
@FK - Phew thank you for confirming it was Horo picking it up, I was fearing some bugger had gotten their hands on it.
@Orion - Wow you make a really good point. The village are going to feel a wee bit sheepish if they find out that Horo is actually real and now if they have bad crops they would most likely blame her!
Also the main difference between Chole the Lawrence wannabe is the speed of his merchant mind. I don't believe at al that if the roles were reversed that Lawrence would be acting as the agent of the church, instead he would be making a killing off it

@Grey_Moon we all have to make sacrifices and that would be one i make in a heartbeat lol, live for the moment i say
@Orion I agree with you i dont believe the village knows what Chole is up to. Her youthfulness and inexperience as a merchant is making her hasty. I feel she is going along with this because she is trying to prove herself to Lawrence that she is not a child anymore. Remember episode 1 where she was talking about building a house and going into business together. Its obvious she wants to marry Lawrence but she feels she needs to prove herself after their last conversation. If the village starts to have bad harvests they are going to blame Horo but in reality it would kind of be Chole's fault to. Your right this whole scheme is going to blow up in her face, she is so being used. I still have no sympathy for her because she made Horo cry

She also talks to Lawrence about a big business deal that she is into without going into details and wanted Lawrence to join, I wonder if she was going to let him into the scam or scam him out?

Plus I would the church would go broadcasting that they had Horo or had executed her? My memory of their policy during that kind of period is a bit fuzzy. Maybe it would be recorded somewhere, but not sure they would be proclaiming it. Unless of course they wanted to really deal a blow to the villages faith in her and get them on side.
Unsure just how much Chloe is being used. Certainly wants to show Lawrence what she can do. Probably believes that making this big score and 'freeing' the village from the whims of Horo is going to accomplish that. She is less experienced in things like this than Lawrence and even he made some miscalculations and would have been in trouble without Horo. But regardless little pity for anything that happens to her. Making Horo cry...such things can not be forgiven.
Anyways I'm pretty certain Horo is picking up the pouch. The colouring seems to fit with that orange streak at the top. Unless a relative of hers shows up and even then there would probably be differences to help us tell them apart .

great episode this one. The rescue while not an action packed sword flinging sequence was interesting because it suited the type of character lawrence is. he isnt a solider, he is a merchant, so its talking, diplomacy and so on.
Horo as usual was adorable. I think that some of her disappointment about her rescue stems a lot from her wolfish side. the pack helps the pack regardless. however, her comments about scaring males, and the female prerogative of being difficult was quite funny. men just cant get a break, lol.
Will be interesting to see how things go down with the two companies, the chrch and the king, as well as how things go with the escape of horo and lawrence from those searchingfor them. looks like next episode we get to see horos wolf form in full, scary. the wolf head in the preview is huge, way to big to be anything 'natural' so unless one of her pack-mates rock up, then id say it was her.

but back on topic, is quite a bitter sweet moment seeing Chole, i swear my heart leaped, and came crashing down, it was painful to hear her say those words at Horo.
who needs a pitchfork squad, when a pack of sharpened fanged males will be better?

Just managed to catch the subbed version of episode 5. Hmm. My initial response is lukewarm, due to a variety of factors. The animation quality seemed poorer than usual. The background music was a tad jarring in a few scenes. Horo was more irritating than she was endearing.
But mostly, I felt that the whole situation seemed a bit too contrived, too convenient. It never felt as though Horo's rescue was ever in doubt, so I didn't feel any dramatic tension throughout the episode.
I guessed right about Chloe, and also about the Count's involvement in the plot. If I were to guess further, I'd say that the Church is backing Medioh as well, most probably to destablise the King of Thoreni.
Now that Lawrence and Horo are on the run, I guess it's back to travelling again. Well, events might become more interesting next week. "Silent farewell" eh? Seems to imply that Horo is forced to go a separate way. Time will tell.

I was little disappointed by the episode. I think it's because I read all these comments about how emotional people felt after seeing the show. As a result, I was expecting more than the episode seemed designed to deliver. The emotional drama I expected to see wasn't there to the extent I expected based on the reactions. When I rated the episode, I tried to judge it as if I had seen it before I read any of the discussions. I gave it an 8 using that criteria. But a true rating of how I felt watching the episode after reading the comments beforehand should have been a 7.

Next week is finals week for Hood River Valley students.
It will also now be a week for the HRV girls basketball team to make a trip to Pendleton on Tuesday afternoon.
Blame Mother Nature for that.
A holiday, followed by three days of snow, wiped an entire week of practice time for the Eagles, as well as Horizon Christian.
The Eagle girls were originally supposed to head to Pendleton Tuesday, with the boys hosting the Bucks.
Instead, due to snow, the game was pushed back to this Tuesday - right in the middle of finals week at HRV.
It's not the first choice of anybody, but postponing the game later, combined with any further weather delays, could put teams in a bind at the end of the season.
"We are trying to figure out something… next week is finals week so we may have to do some creative stuff," said HRV Athletic Director Keith Bassham.
Bassham said that HRV's finals start later on Wednesday, and HRV girls coach Tom Ames said they may play the game earlier on Tuesday so that the team does not get back too late.
"The schedule is limited for next week for finals and I try not to schedule much stuff, but we'll have to use those dates … because finals start later Wednesday we should be OK, but it's not my first choice," Bassham said.
In addition to the academic crunch, the snow cancellations create an athletic one, as well.
The HRV swim team was supposed to be ramping up its training with its most intensive week of practices. Instead they haven't been able to get in the pool on an organized basis.
"It was supposed to be our hardest training week and we've had no practice," said HRV swim coach Keith Ebbert.
The team is also supposed to be hosting its Hood River Invitational meet this weekend, and if it does so, would essentially have no practice time leading up to it.
However, the meet itself is in doubt depending on the ability of Eastern Oregon Schools coming from as far away as La Grande to make it to Hood River.
"It's turning out to be a small meet," Ebbert said.
If the tournament can't be held Saturday, Bassham said there is a good chance it will not be held at all with time rapidly dwindling before the district meet.
On Friday morning, the meet was officially cancelled.
The Hood River wrestling team's match against Pendleton, which was canceled Thursday, may be a bit tricky to be rescheduled.
It was supposed to be senior night for the Eagles. Instead the Eagles held an informal - and voluntary - practice for anyone who could make it to the wrestling gym at the high school.
On the team's Facebook page Wednesday, HRV coach Trent Kroll posted a photo of the team's bus buried in deep snow drifts.
The varsity team is heading to Stevenson Saturday for a tournament, and Kroll said the coaches have been in touch with team members throughout the week.
The wrestling team is one of those that has been busy getting exercise despite not being on the matt - Kroll said several had kept themselves occupied clearing snow and branches.
"We've been keeping in contact with everybody and everyone is getting in some workouts, Kroll said. "It's varsity only this weekend and everybody has been dialing in and staying focused."

Patrick's Point State Park was a little treasure. We decided to visit because it was so close to our campground. What a wonderful surprise. We spent several hours there, a bit of hiking and Sony Too and I got lost in the beauty.
This is Agate Beach. Man and I were still recovering from the hike down and back out at Axel Lindgren Memorial Trail, Trinidad. Neither of us felt we could get down to the beach, 180 feet or so, below. Ok, it's not the getting down, it is the getting back out! So, we took a long look, sure is pretty.
We did wander down the path to the beach, just a bit, so we could get a "feel" for the experience. As we turned to leave Man found these agates lying on the trail. As if some wonderful person knowing we were not up to the trek in and out left a gift for us to find. Thank you nice person.
Sony Too zooms to show us the beach we will not get to walk. Tide Tables are posted at the trail head. You can see that it looks like when the tide is high there won't be a lot of beach left to walk on.
The Patrick's Point State Park web site tells us:
"In some parts of the park, plant life is so luxuriant that hikers moving along the trail are sheltered and isolated by walls of vegetation."
No kidding!
As the paths come close to water Sony Too and I attempt to capture the beauty.
It becomes a challenge and somehow thrilling and relaxing at the same time to capture the water crashing over the rocks. Lots of zoom here.
Here comes a wave swallowing the same rock.
Further down the path there is another path which goes out to what is called Wedding Rock or Ceremonial Rock. Yes, you can book weddings there, see the web page. See the fellow out there standing, wouldn't that be a special wedding site?
I love the blues, turquoise water, true blue skies with a narrow layer of pale purple clouds. Mix in varying greens from the hills and evergreens. Add one path, rocks and crashing surf. OK, what is NOT to love?
Capturing the crashing waves.
I find myself standing for long periods of time trying to capture the magic of waves crashing over rock. Below, two photos, same rock, different waves. Time stands still, the sound is mesmerizing. Sony Too and I are really in our own world. Both of these photos came out of the digital world of Sony just like this, only editing done was a bit of auto correct, which just enriched the black of the rocks. No changes to the colors were made. As a reminder, I do not carry a full sized tripod. I do have a couple of tripod stands that are about 5 inches tall. Most of my photos are taken with available light, hand held. I gets what I get. I can live with the results, and the photos that are icky, I delete! You will note, I did not delete these two.
And, this is what Man does while he patiently waits for me to come out of my photo taking trance.
More of our visit to Patrick's Point State Park will be coming to Reflections, when - -

It is too easy, especially when reading records that require interpretation of handwriting in an unfamiliar language, to pick out the main details – date of birth and parents – but ignore the details that are "not strictly necessary" – godparents, occupations, and so on. It is also easy to just scan for the surnames you're looking for and ignore the other records.
But eventually you may get stuck in your research. Someone seems to have spontaneously appeared in a parish with no previous connections to it – no birth record, not even a marriage record, but suddenly they are there and having babies with a legal spouse. How can you find where they came from?
Pay attention to the "not strictly necessary" details!
I had a situation like this come up with a pair of my great-great-grandparents, Roberts Francis and Dorotea Matilde Plūme. They were living on the Nabe estate, where they had many children, including my great-grandfather Arvīds. Dorotea had a historical connection to the estate – I could find her birth record – but I could find no sign of her marriage to Roberts or of his birth record. Thus it seemed likely that he was from somewhere further afield.
The key to solving this mystery lay in the birth record of my great-grandfather's sister Alise. In her birth record, one of the godparents is a woman by the name of Natalie Francis, who was listed as living in Vilceni, an estate approximately 35km northeast of Nabe. The surname Francis is not common in Latvia, therefore it is possible that Natalie was Roberts' sister or sister-in-law. It gave me a new idea of where to try searching – the closest church to Vilceni was the Matīši parish church, so that was my first stop.
And I hit gold! In a short period of time I had found Roberts' and Dorotea's marriage record, proving that my hunch was correct. Happily, this parish also maintained the detailed marriage records, so it gave me everything I needed to know to work further back, as well as confirmation that I had the right couple. Roberts Francis of Lielmārens farm on the Milīte estate (born March 1859, parents Jēkabs and Jūlija) married Dorotea Matilde Plūme of Kroņi farm on the Nabe estate (born August 1865, parents Mārtiņš and Dārta) in August of 1884. From here, I was also able to also find Roberts' birth record.
It also pays off to know the surnames of other people living on the same farm, or nearby farms, since your ancestors may have appeared as godparents to their children. These references can also help narrow down dates of marriage or death. For example, my great-great-grandmother Līze Eglītis (b. Graumane) appeared as the godmother of many children who also lived on her family's farm – which helped narrow down when her father died, as well as when she got married. In 1873, she was referred to as the "landlord's daughter" Līze Graumane, but in early 1875 was referred to as "landlady" Līze Eglīte. This shows that between mid-1873 and early 1875 two significant events happened in Līze's life – her father probably died, and she got married. Sure enough, Līze's father Marcis died in December of 1873. The marriage records for this time period in Limbaži are missing, so I can't be certain as to the precise marriage date of Līze and her husband Ansis Eglītis, but I've got a much smaller window now – all thanks to paying attention to the listings of godparents in the records of other families.
Have you gotten lucky following a hunch based on the "not strictly necessary" details? Have you found useful data about your family in the records of other families? Share your stories below!

QUADEFY is a fast playing new strategy game played in three dimensions. Easy to learn and quick to play, QUADEFY uses visual spatial skills and strategies that will keep you on your toes. When playing QUADEFY, you have to think a little bit strategist and a little bit puzzle builder. Players take turns stacking their game pieces on the base, each attempting to keep their entire game piece "in bounds." "In bounds" means that the piece must be completely over the game base and no more than four "cubes" high. The first player to force their opponent to have to play out of bounds, wins. Every move is both offensive and defensive, making QUADEFY very fun to play. The rules have been drafted so that there is always a winner, no ties, stalemates, or cat's games. Hand crafted from high quality hardwoods, QUADEFY is pretty enough to be left out on the coffee table or bookshelf to be played again and again. 2 player game. 3-5 playing time.

Office Sian's Backyard Office Shed
Speaking of small spaces, if you've got the urge to be outdoors and have a near-term need for an office, perhaps this low-budget garden shed might inspire some epic DIY projects this coming Summer season.
Simplicity and functionality rules when designing any backyard office, but especially when you're going for that warm-urban look, nothing beats the raw and gritty aesthetic of exposed oak, fresh linens, and (despite going against all interior office rules) visible wires.
Located in the London borough of Hackney, this garden office by Office Sian Architects features full-height doors that retract to expose the lovely view of the garden. Built-in shelving creates a 'library' feel and an open skylight allows plenty of natural sunlight to enter, reducing that feeling of claustrophobia found in some outdoor office sheds.
If there's one thing we would add, we might create some way to project movies onto an outdoor screen from inside the shed (for those warm Summer movie nights). This would not only allow individuals to seat themselves in or nearby the shed, but because outdoor power would already be available for use, it'd be a simple act of plug-and-play.
For further reference on building your own outdoor theater, resort to our 4-step guide.

As the year closes, it's time to look back at the major trends that affected search, social and Internet marketing in 2010 . Surprisingly, this action-packed year was centered around a few key areas of development. This year the key to success was being light-weight, nimble and surgically targeted on the user.
Next month, Bruce Clay will bring us his predictions for 2011 but first, let's take a look back at the year that was.
Online video is not going away. Before you dismiss it as part of your marketing efforts, consider the facts:
In last month's video-focused Back to Basics, we covered important items such as understanding the impact video is having on the search engine results pages (SERPs), overcoming common roadblocks to video production, getting started with videos and optimizing videos for search. This month, we'll go into keyword research for videos, YouTube's algorithm and conversion tips for videos.
Based on our years of experience in SEO projects of all sizes, we have determined that the key items to ensure a successful SEO project in a large complex business can be broken down into twenty points. Understanding and undertaking each of these points will put your organisation's search engine marketing strategy on the path to ultimate victory.
Social Media Increasingly Impacting Search
There's been a lot of talk lately about the social movement in search. As a business, it's a topic worth taking a serious look at. With all the new developments that make search social, it means there's some real changes now and on the horizon that can severely impact a business' online presence.
In last month's feature article, Bruce Clay asked if "likes" are the new links. In his article, he points out that some of the factors that Google used to use to rank websites online could be replaced by social cues. Some research at Bruce Clay, Inc. suggests that even local ranking factors in Google take reviews - a social aspect - into account when serving up business results.
Bruce's idea about likes being the new links was echoed by Satya Nadella, a senior vice president at Microsoft, who said at the December 15 Bing Search Summit last week that social will change search fundamentally. And that it's still at the beginning stages and could be as big as linking was to search.
The Facebook-Bing partnership that was announced in October revealed itself in a showcase at the Bing Search event, including the integration of "likes" on the search engine results page (SERP), showing which friends a person has on Facebook "like" the website or business. Even though Bing only owns about 12 percent of the search market according to comScore reports released December 15, Microsoft reported at the event it has more than 90 million users.
Google has also been testing out social search with a Yelp-like service called Google Hotpot, which customizes a SERP based on community reviews when signed into it. Google released a video explaining HotPot. YouTube (owned by Google) also rolled out a more personalized interface this month as well.
In addition, there have been rumors circulating of Google creating a Facebook-like community called "Google Me" - but according to a November 11 report by TechCrunch, Google denies Google Me rumors. But, there's still no denying Google is looking at more ways to be social, as it has made several moves and statements confirming its belief in social as a recipe for success moving forward.
What does this mean to you? As a business, it's time to start taking control of your social media presence across the board. Important actions items include Facebook presence and review communities (such as Yelp and Google Places). Start thinking in terms of social media optimization, instead of just SEO. These recent developments and more show how search and social are merging to create a brand new online experience.
Yahoo! conducts massive layoffs and closes several services including AltaVista, MyBlogLog, Yahoo! Bookmarks and more. Bookmarking service Delicious will be spun off, though the exact future of the service is unclear.
Outspoken Media's Rae Hoffman-Dolan stepped down as CEO of the online marketing firm. CEO responsibilities are now passed to co-founder Rhea Drysdale. Hoffman-Dolan is CEO of MFE Interactive.
Cuil co-founder and former Googler, Anna Patterson, heads back to Google to be director of Google research.
Google will be retiring their Base API and replacing it with two shopping services. Google Base will close forever on June 1, 2011.
Stepping down as CEO of IAC/InteractiveCorp is Barry Diller, who will remain as chairman and senior executive. Former Match.com CEO, Gregg Blatt, takes Diller's place.
Two search engine startups, Blekko and DuckDuckGo, announced a partnership this month that further expands on a mission to cut spam from the search results.
