RAVENSWOOD – A Ravenswood man faces a charge of DUI-third offense following a traffic stop on Elwood Street Monday night.
Randy J. Whited, 49, was arrested following a stop made by Patrolman Andrew Boggess and Sgt. Joseph Cogar, after Boggess allegedly observed Whited driving a Ford pickup without wearing his seatbelt at around 8:54 p.m.
During the stop, the officers detected the odor of alcohol coming from the vehicle and Whited allegedly exhibiting signs of being under the influence. When asked to get out of the truck, Whited allegedly said he would not do field sobriety due to being shot in the leg and having back issues. When he finally stepped out of the truck, officers saw a beer can sitting on the seat. Field sobriety tests were administered and a preliminary breath test using an Alco Sensor FST. The breath test was .319, nearly four timed to .08 limit for intoxication.
Whited allegedly resisted being arrested and placed in handcuffs and had to be taken to the ground by the officers and cuffed. He was subsequently transported to Ravenswood Police headquarters and observed for 30 minutes. A second breath test was administered and read .300. Whited was advised of his Miranda rights and charged with DUI-third offense. He had been convicted of DUI-second offense in Wood County in 2011.
Whited remains lodged in the South Central Regional jail in lieu of $5,000 bond.

Texas gains traction with season series win vs. Rays
Rangers move into tie atop Wild Card standings, take tiebreaker on Tampa Bay
ST. PETERSBURG -- It was the biggest game of the year to date for the Texas Rangers. They made it their biggest victory, as well.
This will not erase their recent problems, but it will give them a big boost for the immediate future.View Full Game Coverage
It does not matter that the form chart was not followed in this game. When it counted most, the Rangers found a way to defeat the Rays, 8-2, Thursday night. This victory moved the Rangers back into a tie with Tampa Bay for the AL Wild Card lead. But even more to the postseason point, it gave Texas the season series victory over the Rays, 4-3. If the two clubs finished tied for the Wild Card lead, the Rangers will win the head-to-head tiebreaker and have home-field advantage.
It was a complete performance: five stolen bases, four home runs, four double plays by the Rangers.
It did not even matter that Texas starter Yu Darvish, a genuine AL Cy Young candidate, was far from his top form. This contest was supposed to be tense and low-scoring. The Rays' roster had a combined .143 average against Darvish. Then again, lefty Matt Moore, 15-3 this season, was starting for the Rays. The Rangers entered hitting a combined .091 against Moore.
The record clearly showed that the Rangers had scored two runs or less in each of Darvish's last seven starts. So the reasonable expectation was that to win this game, Darvish would probably have to pitch a shutout. The Rangers might be able to win it, 1-0, on, oh, maybe a suicide squeeze.
Darvish struggled mightily in a 40-pitch first inning in which the Rays scored twice. But then the Rangers turned into a prolific, diverse offensive force.
There were three solo home runs in the third. The big lift was the first one, by first baseman Mitch Moreland, which tied the game. Moreland was the only left-handed hitter starting against Moore. Rangers manager Ron Washington said this before the game:
"I just felt Mitch has a chance to run into something."
Mitch ran into something all right. Good call, Mr. Washington.
A more novel means of scoring came to the Rangers in the fourth. With two out, Craig Gentry on third and Ian Kinsler on second, Elvis Andrus hit a relatively routine grounder to deep short. As Gentry scored, Andrus beat Yunel Escobar's throw to first. While this was occurring, Kinsler never hesitated. He beat the throw from first to the plate, scoring from second on a grounder to short.
"I hustled myself to first base," said Andrus, who also homered in the third and drove in three on the night. "It was a great play by Ian because he knew that [Escobar] would throw the ball to first base."
"That's the way we play," said Washington. "It's not the first time we've done that and it won't be the last. That's a part of our game."
Darvish, meanwhile, was grinding through innings well enough to record his first victory since Aug. 12. His pitch count was 109, and he had to depart after five innings, but he kept the Rays at two runs.
Against this backdrop of unexpected developments, in the 152nd game of this season, this victory gave the Texas club a legitimate lift. Before Thursday night, the Rangers had lost 13 of their last 16, a stretch that included a seven-game losing streak. They had fallen out of the lead in the AL West, into the thick of the Wild Card race.
But with the victory Thursday night and a split of the four-game series against Tampa Bay, the Rangers at least gained some traction.
This is no time to be disappointed about the division race. The Wild Card offers a chance. It's dicey with the one-game play-in format and it didn't work out for the 2012 Rangers, but it beats the alternative. This is the goal now, and it is more than merely a consolation prize.
"It's a chance," Washington said. "You just want a chance in the playoffs. It doesn't matter how you get there. Yeah, you'd rather win the division, because at least you have some games to play. The one-game format is what team plays best on the day. And it doesn't have to be the best team on the field. But at least you got a chance. I don't think you question a chance in the playoffs."
With six teams separated by 3 1/2 games in the AL Wild Card race, the Rangers, after a very difficult stretch, took a major step forward against a primary Wild Card opponent. It gave them the sense that something worthwhile had been accomplished.
"Things haven't been going right," Washington said, "but we haven't lost our resiliency."

Murray through to round four
Andy Murray had another frustrating afternoon on Louis Armstrong Stadium but did enough to defeat Andrey Kuznetsov and reach the fourth round of the US Open.
There was not the same drama as there had been in round one, when he cramped against Robin Haase and might have lost, but Murray again found himself embroiled in a fight having appeared in total control against a player ranked 96th in the world.
He at least finished the match relatively strongly, recovering from dropping the third set to clinch a 6-1 7-5 4-6 6-2 victory after two hours and 35 minutes.
Andy Murray is through to the fourth round of the US Open (AP)
Much stiffer tests lie ahead, though, with Jo-Wilfried Tsonga his likely next opponent, and he knows he will not be able to afford such lapses if he is to figure in the latter stages of the tournament.
Murray was a picture of calm as he raced through the first set as he wrapped up the opener 6-1 in 31 minutes.
The Scot made a fine start, breaking the Kuznetsov serve at the first opportunity, and he looked to be striking the ball very well.
The Russian fought hard to get on the board in the fourth game and then had one chance to break, but overhit a forehand.
Murray was right on his game, though, and attacked the Kuznetsov serve again to make it 5-1 before serving it out.
Kuznetsov is a slight figure and he was finding more success on Murray's serve - particularly the weak second serve - than on his own delivery.
Murray made the perfect start to the second set with another break before denying Kuznetsov on his fourth break point of the match.
The Scot was powering the ball into the corners off both his backhand and forehand and was keen to come forward and attack the net.
T he second set was much tighter, though, and a loose game from Murray saw Kuznetsov finally take his chance in the eighth game thanks to an untimely double fault.
Murray looked frustrated and from 0-30 in the next game he lost four points in a row and the chance to re-establish his lead immediately.
The 27-year-old has developed a bad habit this season of losing leads, but he did get the second break two games later and served it out 7-5.
Despite getting over the line in the second set, Murray had hit a slump, and it continued at the start of the third.
Kuznetsov exploited the situation to break for a 3-1 lead and memories of Murray's third-set calamity against Robin Haase in round one came flooding back.
At least he appeared to be physically well this time and, after battling to stop the rot with a hold in the sixth game, he broke to love to get back on track.
However, the up-and-down form that has plagued his season was still very much in evidence and cost him dearly in the 10th game.
Two loose shots gave Kuznetsov two set points and Murray did not even make the Russian work for it, serving a double fault to lose the set 6-4.
Perhaps not surprisingly given his results this season, Murray appears to be lacking belief in the big moments, and he must have been furious with himself for being extended to four sets.
He headed off for a bathroom break, a tactic that had helped him so much in his final win over Novak Djokovic here in 2012.
And Murray was quickly ahead in the third set, breaking for 2-1 when Kuznetsov drilled a forehand over the baseline.
The Russian was under real pressure now and, although he saved two break points in the fifth game, one with a brilliant drop volley, he then threw in successive double faults to hand Murray what was surely a match-winning advantage.
Still it was not entirely straightforward as Murray immediately surrendered one of the breaks but he got it back quickly and took his first match point with a reaction volley.

A Bakewell firefighter has been seriously injured after a fire engine crashed and rolled over while it was going to an emergency call–out.
The collision happened on the A6 road, between Taddington and Ashford–in–the–Water, about 8am, on Tuesday, March 18, when it was responding to a call–out to an overturned Toyota Celica car.
A crew of four, from Bakewell station, had been travelling towards Taddington when the fire appliance left the road and rolled on to its side.
The 47–year–old male driver was injured and had to be airlifted to the University Hospital of North Staffordshire by air ambulance.
Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service is providing support to the families of those involved and has launched an investigation.
Assistant Chief Fire Officer Kam Basi, of Derbyshire fire service, said: "Our priority at the present time is to the firefighters involved and their families who are all receiving our full support."
Police put in road closures between Ashford–in–the–Water and Chelmorton until the appliance was moved.
Chapel–en–le–Frith firefighters attended the Toyota Celica crash at Taddington, which the fire service said was dealt with "successfully".
A Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland Air Ambulance (DLRAA) immobilised the seriously injured firefighter with a pelvic binder before airlifting him to hospital.
DLRAA said the seriously hurt firefighter sustained head and chest injuries and other casualties were discharged.
Witnesses can call the police on 101.

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. -- Barry University men's tennis team advanced to Monday's 10 a.m. South Region championship, following its 5-0 win over Alabama-Huntsville Sunday at Buccaneer Tennis Center.
The No. 2-ranked Buccaneers (24-0) will meet No. 15 Saint Leo (16-5) to decide the region championship. It will mark Barry's 13th straight region finals appearance.
"I think this has been the deepest team ever, and that keeps our competitiveness high," Barry assistant coach Thomas Hipp said. "We still have good team chemistry even though we have a lot of competition within the team. The competition keeps everybody on their toes. We have more than six good players. That's what keeps everybody extremely motivated in practice."
Barry's No. 1 doubles team of Marco Mokrzycki and Fabian Groetsch, who carry a No. 2 national ranking, had to walk a fine line in their 9-7 win over Jose Soto and Nestor Perez. Max Wimmer and Ollie Lemaitre beat Fredrik Graaner and Guilhermo Reyes, 8-4, at the second flight. Romain Costamagna and Leo Vivas were dominant 8-1 victors over Chris Kano and Raphael Oliveria at No. 3 pairs.
"They have a tendency to just feel out their opponent, and then they play," Hipp said of his No. 1 doubles unit. "It was kind of a wake-up call. On the other hand, our No. 3 doubles came out full of energy."
Lemaitre, who has won three straight postseason matches, was a 6-2, 6-2 winner over Perez at No. 4 singles. Kevin Sielmann, playing in his first postseason match this season, beat Oliveria, 6-2, 6-1, at No. 6 to seal it for the Buccaneers.
Sielmann collected his first NCAA Tournament singles victory in the two years he's been at Barry.
"I think Kevin did a good job," Hipp said. "It will help him with the experience in the postseason, and will give him more confidence. We may need him later on."

FiveFingers KSO Trek – New for Fall '09
The Men's KSO Trek is a more rugged version of our popular KSO. The Kangaroo leather upper and sock liner are soft against the foot, yet strong and tear resistant, with outstanding breathability.
A 4mm EVA midsole offers plating protection from stone bruising, and a lightly cleated 4mm Vibram performance rubber outsole delivers improved traction on trails and over more rugged terrain.
KSO Trek is best for: Light Trekking, Trail Running, Fitness Walking, & Travel.
My experience:
When I first put these shoes on, I knew that I had finally felt the most comfortable VFF yet. The kangaroo skin's soft side is INSIDE the shoe...so your foot is encased in smoothness. Under 6 ounces. Rugged. Breathable. Thank you Gawd!
These are the shoes that I am going to use for this year's Leadville 100 mile trail race. As many of you know, I have done trail ultras in FiveFinger Classics, Sprints and KSOs, but this seems destined to be my favorite 100 mile trail shoe. Thank you Vibram!
My favorite footwear for everyday running? My bare feet.
My new favorite footwear for 100 mile trail running? VFF Treks
NOTE: Two most asked questions in the comments section...answered:
From Tony Post, President of Vibram USA
To answer the questions for your website:
Suggested retail in the US is $125 for the KSO Trek. Premium Kangaroo hide is not cheap.
The shoes can be machine washed (be careful here as the leather can bleed, so wash alone or with dark colors on a gentle cycle). The shoes should be air dried out of direct sun and away from a heat source (strong sun or drying near a heater source could cause the leather to shrink and pull away from the bottom, causing sole separation or de-lamination).
Order Vibram FiveFingers from here and smile :-)

Sr. Hilda Frost OSB - "Reflections"
As a child, Lectio Divina came naturally to me, having learned a love of the Bible from my Methodist father and my Congregationalist mother! Lectio Divina has a very long history, going back to the time of Jesus himself, who loved and taught from the Hebrew Scriptures. The Desert Fathers and Mothers of the 3rd and 4th century treasured the Word of God, as the basis of their prayer and spirituality. Cassian and others passed on this tradition to Benedict who centred his teaching on Scripture. So as followers of Benedict, Lectio Divina is a very familiar topic for all of us.
As Benedict suggests, the art of Lectio Divina begins with cultivating an ability to listen deeply to the voice of God who reveals himself to us through his Word in stillness and silence. There are various ways of doing Lectio. The 12th century Carthusian monk Guigo's 'method' of Lectio, meditation, oratio, and contemplatio is well known to us. Alternatively we can just select a short passage of Scripture; allow it to touch our hearts; and ask for God's help to live it out in our daily lives. My own approach is simple.
Like the Desert Fathers and Mothers who used to ask their 'mentor' for 'a word' or 'a word of wisdom' for that day, I ask Jesus for a word from Scripture to carry with me throughout the day to inspire, strengthen and encourage me. Usually a word or phrase from a chosen passage will stand out for me, and remain in my heart for the rest of the day.
Of course Lectio Divina is not intended to replace meditation, but rather to enhance it and build up our spiritual life. In his talks to Benedictine Oblates John Main often spoke of the importance of Lectio Divina. "St. Benedict saw Lectio as an integral part of our Christian living....the purpose of Lectio is not the acquisition of knowledge.
Benedict's Lectio is another exercise in self-transcendence. The monastic/oblate is not trying to possess what they study but use their study to help them respond to the presence of God...A loving reading and reflection upon the Word of Scripture is, in Benedict's vision, essential in forming the monastic as a person of prayer." ('Community of Love' p. 131-132).
Laurence Freeman has this to say: "Take as short a piece of Scripture as you possibly can - just a few verses...Simply read the verse and remain with it, repeating it, reflecting on it, letting it sink into your heart and into your mind...Slow down and read the verse or the few verses that you choose as attentively and as repetitively as you can (Aspects of Love p.32) Meditation sends us back to the words and images of sacred Scripture, not only our own Scripture but indeed ALL Scriptures. When I listen to the word of God in Scripture, do I attend to the words and hear them as if for the first time? Do I respond to the Word with an open heart? (Aspects of Love p.87).
Fr. Bede Griffiths talks about Lectio Divina as an essential part of monastic prayer. 'A traditional way of monastic prayer is Lectio Divina; the meditative reading of the Bible. This is an excellent practice and fundamental.' ('The New Creation in Christ' p. 9). He speaks convincingly of the need for meditation to be supported by Lectio. 'We need this support all the time... it is necessary to meditate on the Scriptures, and to learn to understand the mystery of redemption' ('The New Creation in Christ' p. 44).
These are but a few thoughts on Lectio Divina. More important still is not only to read about it but to actually do it! Our daily Lectio will support our meditation; sustain us on our spiritual journey, and help us in our daily life.
Much love,
Hilda OSB
Sr. Hilda is a Benedictine Sister at St. Benedict's Monastery, Winnipeg Canada. She comes from a very ecumenical background: with a Methodist father, a Congregationalist mother, who attended the Anglican Church in England. After attending a convent school Sr. Hilda became a Catholic, and entered the cloistered Benedictines in England. When the community became diminished and eventually had to close she came to Canada in l981. Sr. Hilda has a background in Scripture, monastic history etc. and has been a meditator for more than 20 years. She has given retreats and workshops on the Rule of Benedict, the mystics, as well as on Christian meditation. She is coordiantor of the WCCM Oblates in Canada, and also leads a meditation group in her own monastery.

Sign the petition: NYS: Out of Network Benefits Are Essential to Mental Health
NYS is about to vote on including or eliminating Out Of Network benefits on the NYS of Health insurance exchange policies. This will directlyaffect patients in Psychotherapy, making it impossible for thousands of patients to pay for therapy without Out-of -Network benefits, interrupting their therapeutic relationship in the middle of treatment. This is a danger to their well-being.
Sign to insist that Out of Network benefits are a required option on the NYS of Health website policies.
That's why I signed a petition to The New York State House, The New York State Senate, and Governor Andrew Cuomo, which says:
"Stop NYS of Health from threatening NYS citizens' wellbeing and interfering with a patient's ability to continue treatment with their psychotherapist of choice! Out of Network benefits are an essential option for the mental health of NYers."

This dish was originally created for Treehugger's Green Wine Guide by Sabrina Modelle of The Tomato Tart.
Jalapeno poppers get a serious upgrade both in looks and flavor with this holiday twist on the ubiquitous bar food. A trio of cheeses, shallots, and cumin make this appetizer perfect for wine, but this is no snooty snack. Look for chiles with cracks in their skin if you'd like more kick in your popper, smooth skin if not. Enjoy these with an acidic white like Albarino — it can stand up to both the spiciness of the Jalapeno and the tang of the goat cheese.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Holiday Jalapeno Poppers
- 12 red and green jalapenos
- 3 ounces cream cheese
- 3 ounces goat cheese
- 2 ounces semi-hard sharp goat's or sheep's milk cheese, finely shredded
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons chopped shallots
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Cooking directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Halve the jalapenos and scoop out all of the seeds and membrane.
- Lay the chilies out on the baking sheet.
- Mix the cream cheese, goat cheeses, egg, shallots and spices together using a small food processor.
- Scoop the cheese mixture into a pastry bag and fill the jalapenos with cheese.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until cheese becomes puffy and golden.
- Serve while hot.

On an extremely sad note
I've very much been looking forward to seeing Paul McGrath, an owner and operator of OntarioRoots.com later this week. This morning, I found out that he died of a heart attack on Friday while filming an episode of Ancestors in the Attic in Scotland for which he's the staff genealogist. The world has once again lost a true gentlemen. Rest in Peace, Paul. You will be missed!

As interesting as that is....it's more revolting.
To the shock of the experts at White Labs, the beard samples had produced a yeast strain that was perfect for use in brewing. Additional testing was conducted and confirmed that the yeast strain was not Rogue's yeast. White Labs' Chris White said "we were shocked and thrilled with this remarkable discovery.
I asked John Maier about that at NHC this year and he was clearly tired of talking about it.

The problem with this show (well, one of them anyway, since this show has several) is that Lucky Channel and the Shiraishi songs are such terrible notes to end on, they just leave a sour taste in my mouth. Someone needs to fire whoever made the decision to end each and every episode with Lucky Channel... [/ironic statement]
Other than that, this episode was strangely entertaining. I'm not saying it was funny, because it wasn't, but there was a certain charm to this particular ep. It's hard to explain, but it sort of felt like watching a repeat of one of your favourite Simpsons episodes from a decade ago for the ninth or tenth time... you don't exactly laugh at it, because you've seen it so many times before and all the jokes a familiar, but that familiarity is, for some reason, reassuring. But, no, this show isn't funny anymore, and hasn't been for the last six or so episodes. I generally judge anime comedies on how much they make me laugh - it's a simple criteria, but the genre really doesn't owe itself well to complexity. But, in all honesty, only the most exceptional comedies are still funny at this stage of their run... like, Ouran. Hell, even Hayate is starting to lose some of its luster.
Enough random ramblings. I guess, overall, this episode didn't feel like a complete waste of time, even though it wasn't all that funny, but Lucky Channel and Shirashi kinda ruin the experience.

@marqafred (and darksider):
They're called Tanuki ... little raccoon-bear-like woodland kami with overblown testicles (fertility being a Good Thing, ya know). They're extremely pervasive icons kind of like norse trolls are in Norway.
ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanuki
From the wiki:
I vaguely recall a japanese commercial promoting plastic surgery that had Little Red Riding Hood dancing with some adult-sized woodland creatures who got boob-implants (LRRH executed a loli thing by just cupping where breasts would go later as she was probably about 9). The punchline was the appearance of the Tanuki who'd opted for surgically enhanced testicles the size of basketballs which prompted a laughing "omigod" double-take from the little girl.
Aren't japanese commercials .... well they leave my local commercials in the dust in regard to over-the-top zany. That's why I wish the subbers would just leave the commercials in sometimes
Here's a fair introduction to japanese woodland spirits and their connection to Shinto:

aye, I'm sure they just figure no one could possibly be interested in such things. Like AVPlaya says, 'youtube is your friend' as well. My son has acquired a superb knack for spotting hilarious foreign commercials (the europeans have a top notch irreverence in their commercials as well).
I won't cut American commercials completely out... the Fedex commercial of "Doom!" punched my funny button. The little G**co gecko is hilarious in that wistfully peering out his office window commercial ("hey, you can't park there...") Its just a shame more marketing doesn't pick up on "funny sells" because maybe I'd actually watch their commercials...

Heh, finally got to watching ep.19. Gave it 9/10. Damn good work I say.
-Its the same as always. LOL
Part A
-Who doesnt change their voice when talking to animals? Dogs, cats...fish(?) Doesnt matter. Kona has no right to say what she did to Kagamin. LOL
-Tsukasa's little question on the origin of the dog command "chin-chin" *LOLs BIG TIME* made things a bit uncomfortable for Kagamin and Miyuki-san. LOLs
-The Gun**m talk!! WTF!? Why am I getting bleeped!? G**dam, Gu**am, **ndam!!?
-Tsukasa and Horror: What Miyuki-san says does make sense...but its not completely true. Although I guess in my case it does apply.(in a way) At my age I'm still afraid of "Chucky", the killer doll thats alive but "Rozen Maiden"!? I F'ing love it. LOLs
-Yuu-chan's misunderstanding of Konata and Yui-nee's intelligence and her misled ideas of them being helpful. LOLs...poor Izumi-sensei too, even his own daughter and niece thinks him as being unreliable.
-Kogami Akira appears in the main ep!?:Not really...appears briefly when Ms.Kuroi strikes Konata...Was that Miss Kanata!?
-Izumi-sensei....needs to close the Bathroom door!! You have 2 High School girls in the house, THINK DAMMIT!!...I wonder if he was always like that or if he started that after Kanata's death?
-Konata's choice of clothing in the house. "What if Yuu-chan copies you!?" quote: Izumi-sensei. I think that her fan base would get MUCH larger, thats what.
-Kagamin acts out the "clumsy girl". WIN
-Ms.Kuroi: Life is catching up...(T^T)
B Part(Focused on Hiyorin, WIN!!)
-Hiyorin's faces...if you ever draw than...well, theres not much to say on this I guess. Its natural, that it, end of topic.
-Yuu-chan asks a hard-to-answer Q.
-Hiyorin and the lottery: Anyone else besides me and Hiyorin experience a similar event? Win a bit of cash on a lottery but soon after misfortune causes events draining the exact amount away from you?
-The "FALL": WTF!? Was the "transformation" necessary? It scared the crap out of me when Hiyorin changed...at first I thought that she flipped around to catch Yuu-chan and Minami's expressions to use in her drawings but the real reason makes more sense to me. I'd do the same...just, not "overdoing" it.
-Yuu-chan and Minami's take on art: Yeah, this is pretty much reality. Most common people cant notice the small details and changes in an artists' work.
-FMA cosplay: No reason for it, but WIN. Hiyorin did what we'd all do. LOLs
-Using anime names in public places: Who hasnt done this atleast once or alteast thought about it? Hm? Be honest, almost all of us have...havent we?
-Yuu-chan x Minami fantasies of Hiyorin: Aahh, so thats what Hiyorin sees. LOL...Yuu-chan MUST NEVER get taller than what she is now. As Hiyorin says, its against the world's natural order.
-Yuu-chan asks an even harder question to answer....ep. finishes. I wonder what Hiyorin answered?
'bout time they got rid of Shiraishi. Will he back for the remainder of the series? Hopefully not.
Shiraishi sings again...but atleast we didnt have to look at him. Also, in the caps they suggested that we enjoy it without sound. I've done so, thanx for the advice KyoAni
Parts that didnt mean much but I liked it so...
-Ms.Kuroi slept through an whole day...where did her Sunday go? (T^T)
-Yui-nee is reading FATE.
-The bird(?) hanging in Kona's room? Char?
-Yui-nee's excuse of not knowing how to anwer Yuu-chan's question.
-WHO IS THE Ryouou school idol? Statistically I'd guess it'd be Miyuki-san...what do you all think?

AFK Concerns
Just saw the AFK sub. Now, I'm already paranoid enough about translations, though I'm by no means an expert on the language. From the Lum fan in Otaku no video to the latter Animego UY subs, I've learned to be suspicious. It's just... the AFK Haruhi subs are the only ones I've seen and... now I wonder. Look at Tsukasa's question at the beginning of this episode. I was aware of the "turn on factor" for "moe" substitution and was OK with it, but this "adaptation" for a joke that the higher ups didn't think us English speakers had the time or inclination to look up is just... disturbing. This almost 4kids territory. I guess my question, to anyone who's seen multiple subs or is just familiar with the original Japanese meaning, is, has anyone else noticed this type of falsification in other episodes? Should I go back and start over with another group?

That said, where are you going to look it up? Urbandictionary doesn't have it. Google only has it because of Jaalin's post. (Chinchin dog command was the search. If you really cared, you can put it together off multiple links on multiple pages under the default settings.) Wikipedia has it in Japanese, but not in English.
(Most people don't even look on google anymore, they just ask in the first net chat device they can find.)
There was no falsification. The English sub was an attempt to be accurate to the meaning of the Japanese. It was not literal and was not as dirty (IMO) as the original. Whether it was good or not is your opinion. There was no intention to make the joke less dirty.
That all said, these types of changes are very rare. Rare means, at most, once every 5 episodes.
(By the way, this is not even close to what 4kids does. 4kids intentionally tries to change the meaning.)
(Note: This post does not imply that I agree with how it was handled.)

I thought he pulled the chinchin/wiener/hot dog double-entendre very well. It may have upset the purists but, hey, the unintentional innuendo is still here.
As a comparison, it did come smoother than the two egg/one egg twins bit in one of the first episodes.

Well, this really isn't the "back seat translation critique" thread
If you don't like what a.f.k. is doing, there's other fish out there. a.f.k. has a set of translation principles and they are following them pretty consistently. For the purposes of most people, they're quite acceptable and probably better than whatever the "professionals" will do when L*S gets the R1 treatment release. So far there've only been about 4 or 5 instances where *I* might have chosen differently in translating and the rest are well within the matrix of "how would this be said casually in english".

I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with a.f.k's translation. I think they handled the chin-chin joke extremely well, it held similar meaning and comic effect. When I watched the Guerrand sub of it I had no idea what the hell they were talking about, and I didn't until I came and read it here. Most people that watch fansubs don't browse through discussion boards or comb through wikipedia everytime they don't understand something. So having the type of sub that a.f.k. does available is good. If you don't like that, there's always the Guerrand type. It's a free market system in a way, there's two choices and you pick the one you prefer. Complaining about the other one is silly and a bit elitist.

It's tough to control weeds in any alfalfa field, but add a little weather into the equation and it gets even trickier. That's what intermountain growers are up against.
"Since the alfalfa is dormant for a much longer period of time, we can have a real serious problem with winter annual weeds," says Steve Orloff, Siskiyou County University of California Cooperative Extension farm advisor. "As a result, there are a number of issues unique to the intermountain area."
Weed control in alfalfa can be a significant cost, according to Karen Klonsky, UC Davis economist. "It's about 7 percent of all production costs," she told her audience at the recent California Weed Science Society meeting. "The importance in regard to quality is a huge issue. If you don't control the weeds in alfalfa, sometimes you can't even sell the hay."
Application timing for weed control is critical in established alfalfa fields, particularly in the intermountain regions, according to Orloff. "In our environment, we really can't apply herbicides in the middle of the winter because the ground may be frozen. The question becomes is it better to apply herbicides in the late fall (November), early winter (January/February) or are you better off making an application in the spring? The concern with the latter timing is that alfalfa is coming out of dormancy at that time and there can be considerable injury."
Orloff looked at three timings and different herbicides on various weed species — fall (late November), winter (January/February), and mid- to late March. Shepherd's-purse control was best achieved with Velpar at the January application, he says. Mid-March was the next timing with the November application lagging behind. Similar results were noted with Sencor.
"I think what may be happening with the November application is that we're getting rainfall and snow and some of that herbicide may be leaching out below the root zone of some of the weeds so we're not getting good control," he says.
Karmex also provided better control with the January application than it did with the November application, according to Orloff. "Gramoxone applied alone did not give very good control of shepherd's-purse, but when mixed with Karmex improved control quite a bit. The situation was similar with Sencor and Gramoxone. Raptor worked well as a rescue treatment if you had to make a later spring application."
For foxtail control, the overall situation was similar. What was very apparent was the potential for a lot more injury with the spring application timing.
"The mid-March applications caused significantly more injury compared to the other two timings," Orloff says. "It's common for growers in our area to be forced into a late March application because we have a narrow window. We'll have a fair amount of windy weather and storms. We think that timing causes a lot of damage to the alfalfa — visual injury that is carried over into yields."
Regardless of timing, it's clearly important to treat for weeds in alfalfa, not only for increased yields, but also for forage quality.
"Typically what we want to see is an ADF of around 27 percent or lower," Orloff says. "With untreated alfalfa, the ADF was up there around 30. In contrast, all of our weed control treatments significantly reduced the weed populations, so we came in at less than 27 percent ADF or what would be considered dairy quality alfalfa."
Summer annual grass and broadleaf control in established alfalfa stands is another problem for intermountain growers. "We have a big problem in some intermountain areas in some valleys with green foxtail, and we also have a problem with pigweed," Orloff says. "Treflan at 20 pounds per acre has been a standard over the years but it's hard to justify in the intermountain areas where we only have two cuttings. Typically, it's our second and third cuttings that would be infested so it's too expensive to justify the cost sometimes. Also with Treflan being a granular, it's an entirely separate application. You can't tank mix it with your winter herbicide program."
Last year's registration of Prowl H2O in established alfalfa has helped the situation immensely, according to Orloff. "It has a very similar weed spectrum to Treflan except that it appears to be more effective on dodder and slightly less effective on the summer grasses," he says. "It has greater surface stability than Treflan does and doesn't need to be incorporated with rainfall quite as soon after application. It can also be tank mixed with a number of winter herbicides, so the theory is that you can get season long weed control with a single herbicide application."
In trials, Prowl H2O mixed with either Velpar, Sencor or Gramoxone boosted mustard control to near perfect, as well as performing quite well as a stand-alone treatment. Prowl H2O in combination with Velpar also provided the best green foxtail control.
A tank mix of Prowl H20 and Velpar also provided the best pigweed control in the trial. "We're starting to have a big problem with pigweed in established alfalfa," Orloff says. "Before, we had a problem in seedling fields, but now we're seeing more of an issue in established fields, especially if the grower irrigates soon after cutting and the pigweed gets established. Prowl H2O really helps that situation. Velpar alone simply does not last long enough to give us control of these summer broadleaf weeds, and it's a similar situation with Sencor."
Weed control in mixed stands of alfalfa and orchard grasses is a challenge. Since buyers don't need the high alfalfa ratio for the horse market, growers are starting to leave alfalfa stands in the field longer resulting in more weeds.
"That's problematic because the herbicide has to be safe to both the alfalfa and the orchard grass and there are very few herbicides that are labeled for that mixture," Orloff says.
He looked at two different application timings of the available materials — fall and late February. What he found was a bit of a surprise.
"I thought that Gramoxone being a contact material would work the best under that situation," he says. "Since orchard grass is a perennial I thought it would rebound pretty quickly, but Gramoxone alone or applied in combination was very injurious to orchard grass. Our best results were with Sencor in the fall. It worked very well, and Sencor in the spring looked pretty good also."
Weed control in grass hayfields is another area of increasing interest for intermountain growers. "There's a big interest in grass hay, especially for the horse market," Orloff says. "We have a lot of straight orchard grass fields, some timothy fields and also some tall fescue fields that are being sold to the horse market. As these stands go longer and longer we're getting thinner plant populations. Winter weeds encroach into these grass stands, and broadleaves as well as grassy weeds are getting to be a problem."
Weed control during grass establishment is very important. There are very limited materials to control grassy weeds after that point. Orloff recommends growers simply avoid planting fields that already have perennial grass weeds such as foxtail barley.
"There is just no way to control that weed selectively in a grass field."
Other strategies for grassy weed control include pre-irrigating and treating the weeds with Roundup prior to planting. Winter seedbed preparation in combination with a spring Roundup application can be helpful.
"After the grasses emerge, treat broadleaf weeds as soon as possible to prevent early season competition," he says. "It's important to treat weeds early. If you don't use a herbicide during that stand establishment period, you can lose the stand completely."

When the Samsung Galaxy S5 was announced, the company touted the devices' water and dust proof nature as a major feature. Indeed, having a waterproof device is an amazing feature in an everyday phone, no longer forcing you to buy a dumbed down model that is made for an active lifestyle. So now that the main model features waterproofing, what would be the point in releasing a Galaxy S5 Active?
While we can't answer that question, it looks like the device is indeed coming. Previous leaks showed that the model number of the Galaxy S5 Active will be SM-G870, and it looks like Samsung's servers are hosting a User Agent Profile for the SM-G870A. This would be the AT&T model, a carrier the Active was said to grace. And the file was updated three weeks ago, so this isn't old data.
Maybe Samsung has something really interesting up its sleeve for the Galaxy S5 Active. Maybe it'll be some super rugged device, offering more than just waterproofing. If so, it should be an interesting announcement as we have absolutely no info on the device. What do you think Samsung should do with the Galaxy S5 Active to make it stand out? Give us your thoughts in the comments!

The truth is you do not Sluts in padstow one. We all know that you want to get laid - so join free one of the above sites that can get you something more than just Padstow NSW Sluts. Most Sluts in Padstow NSW will inquire you to ring them around the working day from the assembly to verify. This contact is usually before ten each morning. Ensure that you're presentable. Quietly because intercourse is virtually assured, do not presume that you could get by without possessing a shower.
Scrub all locations, especially something which will be inserted anyplace. Trim your fingernails, brush your tooth and so on. The very best concept would be to deal with this like all another day, and act appropriately. Every escort may have a unique process for you personally to adhere to. My favourite woman experienced me make my method to the nearby Sainsbury's. Quizzed me concerning the street names, and native retailers, before providing me instructions to her home.
Keep in mind that these escorts are allowing total strangers into their house, adhere to any methods they have. It should not be as well convoluted. You should buy the escort some pressies but maintain them discretely. A box of choccies, or perhaps a good bottle of wine is a great current, but fifty percent of the Chelsea flower display is something but low-key. It's not essential to purchase provides; any might be considered a good shock in the event you go to the escort close to their birthday, or close to Xmas.
On arrival, do not instantly attempt to leap into the session. In the event you experienced an extended journey, a shower may be a great concept. A pleasant chat is usually an excellent method to begin. I've now turned into a normal to my favourite escort, and we've created a kind of friendly banter. It places us each comfortable and tends to make the intercourse much better.
Concentrate on something essential and act appropriately my favourite talked about what she experienced to go away the home soon following our most current session to consider her son towards the swimming baths, so I refused the shower.

For the 21st edition of the Crossfire vs. ACC All-Stars basketball game, Crossfire Ministries will be borrowing one of the ACC team's top defensive players.
For the 21st edition of the Crossfire vs. ACC All-Stars basketball game, Crossfire Ministries will be borrowing one of the ACC team's top defensive players.
"Virginia's Akil Mitchell will be playing with Crossfire," Randy Shepherd, Crossfire Ministries co-founder said. "He was on the All-ACC Tournament Team this year as well as the All-ACC Defensive Team."
In his place on the ACC roster will be one of UNC Asheville's solid post players, Jaron Lane.
"We've also contacted (UNC Asheville's) D.J. Cunningham but haven't heard back yet. If he plays, he will also be on the ACC roster," Shepherd said.
The annual exhibition game will tip off at 4 p.m. April 12, and both Lane and Cunningham (if he plays) will feel right at home, as the contest will be held once again at UNC Asheville's Kimmel Arena.
Headling the ACC roster are North Carolina's Leslie McDonald (10.3 points per game), Duke's Andre Dawkins (8.2 points per game) and Tyler Thornton (2.3 assists per game) and Wake Forest's Coron Williams (10.2 points per game).
Other ACC players are N.C. State's Jordan Vandenberg, Duke's Todd Zafirovski and Josh Hairston and UNC's Wade Moody, Denzel Robinson and James Manor.
Another Bulldog will be back on the Kimmel Arena court that he called home from 2008-12 — Matt Dickey, who will be on the Crossfire roster. The Alabama native led the Bulldogs to two straight NCAA tournament appearances his junior and senior years. He finished his college career with 1,778 points, a UNC Asheville record.
Two former area standouts will also be competing for Crossfire: Western Carolina's Sam Smithson (a former West Henderson standout) and former Brevard College standout Jonathan Whitson.
Crossfire co-founders Shepherd and Jamie Johnson will deliver a halftime sermon, and there will also be an autograph session prior to the game at 3 p.m.
Tickets are $10 and are on sale now at these locations: Kimmel Arena box office (258-7900), Leicester Carpet Sales in Hendersonville (233-0500) and Asheville (254-8937), Arsenal at the Asheville Mall (298-3303), Showtime Sports & Trophies (298-4808) and All-Star Trophy & Sports (665-7070).

Morning TV host Elizabeth Vargas has publicly acknowledged that she's an alcoholic, and said it took her years to admit it.
In an interview aired Friday on ABC's "Good Morning America," co-host Vargas said hiding her problem from others was exhausting.
"Even to admit it to myself was admitting, I thought, that I was a failure," said Vargas, who noted that she had reported several "20/20" specials on drinking yet couldn't acknowledge her own alcohol dependency.
She said she had suffered panic attacks since she was a child.
"I dealt with that anxiety, and with the stress that the anxiety brought, by starting to drink," she said.
Her go-to drink was wine which, increasingly during her adulthood, she used to manage her anxiety and stress. Her drinking "slowly escalated and got worse and worse," she said.
Meanwhile, she tried to bargain with herself.
"I started thinking, 'Well, you know, I'll only drink, you know, on weekends,'" she recalled. "'I'll only drink, you know, two glasses of wine a night. I won't drink on nights before I have to get up and do "Good Morning America.'" But those deals never work."
She said her husband, singer-songwriter Marc Cohn, wasn't fooled.
"You have a problem. You're an alcoholic," she said he told her, adding that his words "made me really angry, really angry. But he was right."
Last fall, Vargas spent several weeks in a treatment facility and is now in Alcoholics Anonymous. She told "GMA" co-anchor George Stephanopoulos in the interview taped Thursday that she's proud of confronting her problem.
She said she's "learning to accept that I'm human, that there's nothing wrong with failing, that there's nothing wrong with feeling anxiety."
And she said she's ready to resume her duties Friday night as co-anchor of "20/20."
Vargas, 51, has worked in network news since 1993, first with NBC and then ABC, which she joined in 1996.
"Is it hard not to drink?" Stephanopoulos asked her.
"Yeah," Vargas replied.

In life, you don't get to choose your relatives, but you do get to choose your friends. I consider it to be one of the great, unearned blessings of my life that Jack Gilligan chose me to be his friend. We were both Irish-Catholic males of the 20th century, and anyone familiar with our peculiar sub-group knows we were never comfortable speaking about emotions or feelings — especially not to each other.
I never told Jack Gilligan I loved him. But I'm confident he knew that I did, because when it came to people or politics or policy, Gilligan knew almost everything. When he died last month, the obituaries recorded that he, a Democrat, had been a Cincinnati city councilman, a U.S. congressman and the governor who somehow was able in 1971 to persuade a Republican state legislature to enact Ohio's first personal and corporate income tax, all of which is accurate.
But to understand what was true about Gilligan, we have to remember Mark Twain, who found it curious that physical courage was so much more common than moral, which Twain found quite rare.
On the first week of April 1945, Navy Lt. Gilligan, having already seen combat as a gunnery officer, was on the deck of his destroyer during the invasion of Okinawa when the first of three Japanese kamikaze planes flew directly into his ship. Scores of U.S. sailors were killed, wounded or missing. The ship's guns, radar and communications were all knocked out by the suicide plane, the crash of which started a fire that threatened the destroyer's own store of ammunition.
Acting immediately and at great personal risk, Gilligan managed personally to get all the stored ammunition safely away from the encroaching flames and secured the safety of shipmates and his destroyer. For his bravery, he was awarded the Silver Star. He more than passed the physical courage test.
By 1968, Gilligan was 47 and the surprise U.S. Senate nominee in Ohio after his upset Democratic victory over the previously invincible Frank Lausche, who had won five terms as governor and two terms in the Senate.
Gilligan was a strong opponent and vocal critic of the U.S. war in Vietnam, while most of the leaders of organized labor, who had backed Jack in the primary, were enthusiastic supporters of President Lyndon Johnson's war policy.
Inviting the fury of the AFL-CIO hierarchy and the censure of the White House, Gilligan organized, wrote and championed the peace plank, calling for a negotiated end to the Vietnam War at the tumultuous 1968 Chicago Democratic convention. Why? Because he believed the war was wrong and immoral and that the convention's adoption of the peace plank could constitute a declaration of independence for the party's nominee, Vice President Hubert Humphrey, from the war and from LBJ. Humphrey could then almost certainly have won the White House and spared the nation the Nixon-Agnew years.
For fighting the Democratic war policy, Gilligan was punished. Major labor leaders cut off campaign funds. Badly outspent, he lost a close Senate race in November. Let me assure you from painful personal experience, losing campaigns do not build character. But losing campaigns can reveal character. What Gilligan showed in risking almost certain defeat on principle was indeed character — and moral courage.
As governor, he made the improving of the care and treatment of the ignored and the overlooked, the patients in Ohio's discredited state mental hospitals, his cause. And he succeeded. But as you can understand, there is no political pay-off in such an effort. State mental hospital clients do not buy tickets, let alone tables, to campaign fundraising dinners. They mostly do not have a car on which to put your bumper sticker or a lawn on which to plant your yard sign.
To make this your cause is an act of moral courage and one more reason why I loved Jack Gilligan.

text: Hello. I am a new member and mother of an 8 week old. I have been exclusively BF and pumping one to two times per day to have back up for when I return to work on Tuesday, 1/24/12. I have approx. 50 oz frozen at this time. I have just learned that we have a mouse/mice in our home and found droppings yesterday in the bottom of the drying rack where I dry all my pump supplies after sanitizing them. Therefore I am concluding a mouse has crawled all over my breast shields, valves, etc. and then I have used them for the past 4 weeks. I have no idea how long the droppings have been there. I have read online that mice can carry germs, viruses etc. that can be deadly. My question is should I throw out all of my stored milk due to possible contamination? Problem is that I am not sure I will have enough milk to send to day care Tuesday for the whole day if I dump it all. Or does freezing the milk kill germs, viruses? If not can I boil the milk to decontaminate? Thanks in advance for your help!

Dear HG, I'm trying to watch my portions, but it's hard! What are some common serving-size mistakes that people make? Pressed for Portion Control
Hi Pressed for Portion Control,
Yup, keeping portions in check can be difficult, especially when the serving sizes listed on packages often seem unrealistically small. Here are some of the foods that can trip people up when it comes to portion control, plus some helpful hints and tips... Ice Cream Serving size: 1/2 cup Serving secrets: Take a second to envision half a cup of anything. It's probably WAY smaller than the amount of ice cream you typically scoop into your dessert bowl! Always measure out your ice cream -- NEVER eat it straight from the tub. And dole out a lightly packed and level 1/2-cup scoop, not a heaping and densely packed ball of the frozen stuff. Can't resist going back for seconds? Stick with single-serve finds, like the ones on our 2013 supermarket list! Cereal Serving size: generally 3/4 cup - 1 1/4 cups (varies) Serving secrets: If you're eating your Cap'n Crunch out of a punch bowl, then you're probably eating SEVERAL servings, whether you realize it or not. Use a mid-sized bowl, and don't pour the cereal straight from the box -- measure it out. Check the nutritional panel, too, so you know exactly how much of that particular cereal is equal to the stats listed. Some people eat granola like it's regular cereal, but that stuff can have a serving size as small as 1/4 cup! And don't forget to add the calories and fat coming from the milk -- it's a good idea to measure that too! Chips Serving size: 1 oz. (approximate number of chips varies) Serving secrets: Usually, there's an "about" chip count listed in parentheses... but that's just an estimate. Sometimes those counts are WAY off. When in doubt, weigh it out! Also, if chips are a trigger food for you (meaning it's nearly impossible to stop eating them once you start), look for single-serving bags. Or just portion out a multi-serve bag into individual baggies or containers as soon as you get home from the supermarket. Dip/Hummus Serving size: 2 tbsp. Serving secrets: Who eats just two tablespoons of dip?! That's like 4 chips' worth. When you're shopping for dip or hummus, be prepared to double the stats to get a more realistic idea of what you're likely to consume in one sitting. And measure out those portions before you dig in... Don't just go dipping chips into the container like a crazed chip dipper. (This is good advice!) One more tip... When it comes to foods you eat regularly, familiarize yourself with how their serving sizes look. This way, when you're out and about and can't exactly break out a measuring cup or food scale, you'll have a pretty solid idea of what a serving looks like. There you go. Hope that helps!
Hi Hungry Girl, I'm a hungry boy who loves your books and website. They've helped me lose over 30 pounds this year! When discussing salads and dressings, you always say, "Dip, don't pour." But every time I try to do this, half the stuff on my fork just falls into the dressing. What am I doing wrong? Hungry Boy
Hi Hungry Boy,
First of all, CONGRATS on dropping the weight! That's FANTASTIC! As for your question, here's some clarification, plus additional tips... Personally, I dip just the edge of whatever is on my fork -- not the entire forkful -- into sauce or dressing. Since a single serving of salad dressing isn't a lot (typically 2 tbsp.), this helps me to get a little dressing on each bite. Plus, it means I'm measuring out the dressing first, as opposed to pouring it straight from the bottle, so I'm able to keep the portion in check. Some people dip their fork into the dressing before spearing their salad greens. That works too! Another way to make that 2-tbsp. serving go far is to toss ONLY the lettuce with it. Then add your protein and other toppers, which really don't need the flavor of the dressing as much as the greens. Don't have measuring spoons handy? Use the cap of the dressing bottle as a rough estimate of a tablespoon. Sure, it's not super precise, but it's better than accidentally dumping half the bottle of dressing onto your plate! And the next time you measure out a 2-tbsp. serving of dressing, really commit to memory exactly what it looks like. Restaurants often serve dressing in ramekins that hold 2 - 4 oz., which is about 4 - 8 tbsp.! Knowing what that 2-tbsp. serving looks like will help you avoid overdoing it when you're dining out.
