Are you ready for some football?
Are you ready for some football?
If so, and the itch to see some gridiron magic is starting to strike you, come out to the Wallenpaupack stadium on Friday, June 8th for the annual Purple/White game.
"The Purple/White game is a culmination of our spring practices," said Paupack head football coach Mark "Doc" Watson.
"We started it our first year coming in here and we thought it would be something that is fun for the kids to get involved in.
"It's like Penn State's Blue/White game, or Rutgers does the Red/White game, and it gives us the opportunity to see what the kids can do."
The evening kicks off at 5 p.m. with the Powder Puff game, then from 5:30 to 6 p.m. there will be an autograph signing session by returning senior stars.
From there, there will be simulated quarters where Buckhorn players take the field and give fans a sneak peek at next year's squad.
"The nice thing is, it is all of our kids. It's all of our kids on offense and defense and we rotate them through so we can get an idea of who can play and who can't, or who we need to switch into different positions," said Watson.
In between quarters, there will be special events such as a tire flip, Juggs Gun run down, tug-o-war, and obstacle course, as well as a pass/punt/kick competition for kids in grades K-8.
"It's a lot of fun and to throw the other stuff in there, the other competitions is added fun. The kids look forward to this and build teams and they go against each other in a fun atmosphere," Watson said.
It's never too early for a little football, and this free event is open to fans of all ages.
"The idea is get to the public out to see what we have for next year. It's a free admission, there is food, hopefully this gets bigger and bigger every year.
"That's the goal to get people out for a free night and see some football. We want to get the community excited about Friday nights and seeing our team. It's a little preview," said Watson.

A local beer-distributing company was honored for its community service by the Houma-Terrebonne Chamber of Commerce during a Tuesday ceremony attended by hundreds.
A local beer-distributing company was honored for its community service by the Houma-Terrebonne Chamber of Commerce during a Tuesday ceremony attended by hundreds.
Buquet Distributing Co. was named the inaugural Community Champion during its 84th annual banquet at the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center.
"It is quite an honor to be recognized. I just hope we lived up to giving back," said J.J. Buquet, president of Buquet Distributing and a past chamber board member. "It's humbling. We do what we do because giving back is always what we've done. It's a philosophy that my father and mother instilled in me and my sisters."
The Community Champion award recognizes a chamber-member business that actively contributes to the community and supports issues and activities promoted by chamber-member nonprofits.
Nominations came from leaders of those nonprofit organizations, said incoming chamber Chairman Jennifer Armand.
Buquet Distributing was recognized for its involvement in all aspects of the community including education, health care, coastal restoration, storm protection, cultural events and its generous financial donations, Armand said.
The company belongs to organizations like the Terrebonne Foundation for Academic Excellence, Best of the Bayou Festival, American Heart Association, American Cancer Society and others.
"This company embodies the type of community spirit that allows the community to prosper," Armand said in presenting the award.
Glenny Lee Buquet, J.J.'s mother and former state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education member, said she was shocked to hear the company's name called.
"I had no idea," she said. "We've been in business for 60 years and to have our family here with us, it was a very special night."
Glenny Lee said the family made the decision to give back to the community when her husband, James Buquet Jr., and his father, James Buquet Sr., started the company in 1953.
He would be very proud of this moment," she said of her late husband.
The Buquet family has grown the company from two employees to about 80, and both Glenny and Buquet said winning the award would have been impossible without them.
"We are able to do what we do and have a thriving business because of what our employees do. It is not only an accomplishment for our family, but an accomplishment for them as well. I never want to lose sight of that."

ASUS P7H55D-M EVO Review
Far Cry 2:
Featuring a new game engine named Dunia, this game looks to be another one to stress your video card. Built especially for Far Cry 2, this engine allows for real time effects and damage. This next generation First Person Shooter comes to us from Ubisoft surprisingly - not from Crytek. The game is set in a war-torn region of Africa where there is a non-existent central government and the chaos that surrounds this type of social environment. If you have seen the movie Blood Diamond, you know the setting. Ubisoft puts the main storyline of the game into focus with these statements: "Caught between two rival factions in war-torn Africa, you are sent to take out "The Jackal," a mysterious character who has rekindled the conflict between the warlords, jeopardizing thousands of lives. In order to fulfill your mission you will have to play the factions against each other, identify and exploit their weaknesses, and neutralize their superior numbers and firepower with surprise, subversion, cunning and, of course, brute force." In this version of the game, you don't have the beautiful water, but instead the beauty and harshness of the African continent to contend with. Most games give you a set area that can be played through, while Ubisoft has given the gamer the equivalent of 50km squared of the vast African continent to explore while in pursuit of your goals. The settings used are just a few steps below the maximum in-game settings and offer a good blend of performance vs. visual quality.
- DirectX 10
- 4xAA
- Game settings to high
- Vsync Off
The ASUS P7H55D-M EVO did a very good job when benching in Far Cry 2. In the higher resolutions, the results were very similar, but this is because with these settings the load is mostly being handled though the graphics card. The lowest resolution of 1280x1024; however, splits the load between the CPU as well. At this resolution this board was second only to its H57 counterpart.

'online' counseling
Buprenorphine Post
8 posts • Page 1 of 1
- Posts: 104
Again, thanks all for the comments. Dr Passer: I appreciate your concern. In my case, I won't be doing any 'online' practice myself, I'm just wondering about my patients using it to access counseling. However, for a physician using 'online' to 'remotely' evaluate and treat patients, I would agree: check with your malprac insurance to make sure you're covered.

In my area (Michigan's Upper Peninsula) there aren't a lot of psychiatrists available, so many patients (addiction and other) see a psychiatrist by Skype (many through the VA) and it seems to work well. I'm sure there are sketchy drug counselors out there who do it, but plenty of good ones, too. If it works for the patient, and they feel they are making progress and getting their needs addressed, I don't see a problem.

So here's my story.
I went to a BF class at the MWC with an IBCLC. When DD cried all night her 2nd night at the hospital, and a nurse says its bc she's hungry and I'm not making enough milk yet, I knew enough to say no thank you. There was a LC at the hospital who saw us in the morning, and helped with lots of tips on latch. We had trouble still with latching at first, and it hurt. I got some scars, and met with another LC at DD's pediatrician. They helped us with a BF magazine, triple ointment, and a nipple cover. It felt so much better to use the nipple protector, but when after a day DD wouldn't take my nipple without the cover I decided I would not use it and be patient with it. It still hurt for almost 2 months I had pains shoot through my shoulder when I BF. I knew if we got better at latch it would get easier, and it did. I planned on returning to work when she turned 2 mos, but we had just gotten the hang of things. She eats every hour still, at 4 1/2 mos. It doesn't hurt anymore, except sometimes my nipples hurt when I pump. The day after she turns 5 mos, I return to work AND nursing school, with a clinical day at the hospital. I'll be gone 40 hrs a week and may only be able / have time to pump on lunch break, in the car on the way, in the morning before I leave, maybe once at night if I'm not too tired? I plan on nursing more at night to make up for it too for being away from her during the day. Any other nursing students out there making it work?
Received some conflicting advice recently. Her ped says to give her bottles now to get her used to it? DMIL says she needs big 8 oz bottles to feed her, that's what her babies all took and she worked in a DC, too? Also she says CIO and she needs to sleep all night by now. DB says it'll just be easier to give formula, but I am dedicated to do the best for DD! I will try my best for at least a year. Thanks for any input from those of you who have BTDT! We never would have made it this long without all the help of many LC's. It's tougher than I thought it would be.

The context is the same but the instrumentation and the mix are lightly different and besides, it's longer. Choral voices and strings instruments (cello, viola and violin) accompany the sad melody of the piano and increase the drama and the melancholy all the time, every single second.

NRA/CRPA/CALGUNS City Of Azusa Update - Please read
CRPA E-Flash: City Of Azusa To Vote On Ordinance To Put Gun Stores Out of Businesss
Anyone want to join me? I will be there!
If not Join at least Call Or Email your Thoughts, all info is below
CRPA Email Flash
City Of Azusa To Vote On Ordinance That Would Put Gun Stores Out of Business
At its October 3, 2011 meeting, the City Council for the City of Azusa passed on first reading Code Amendment 233, which will effectively zone out at least some of the city's several firearm vendors. With regard to firearm vendors, Code Amendment 233 would, among other things, prohibit firearm vendors from being 500 feet from any school, church, or other firearm vendor, prohibit firearm stores from being in or abutting residentially zoned areas, and create revised standards for firearm sales that "will be more restrictive than they are currently."
Attorneys for the NRA-CRPA Local Ordinance Project have submitted a letter to the City Council addressing the legal ramifications of Code Amendment 233's provisions, explaining that they violate various constitutional principles and should not be adopted.
The proposed ordinance will soon come before the City Council on second reading for potential adoption today at 7:30pm at the Azusa Civic Auditorium, 213 E. Foothill Blvd.
All NRA and CRPA, as well as all freedom loving people, are encouraged to attend and respectfully, but forcefully, voice their opposition to the Azusa City Council's adoption of this unreasonable attack on lawful businesses that are the purveyors of our right to arms.
If you are not able to attend, please E-mail all the members of the Azusa City Council. Please be respectful but firm in your comments. The more people that voice their outrage, the more difficult it is for them to ignore us.
There is still time to help defeat the adoption of this ordinance, and the NRA-CRPA Local Ordinance Project, along with your help, plans to do just that.

CBS ORDERS SIX ONE-HOUR EPISODES OF "MILLION DOLLAR PASSWORD" FROM FREMANTLEMEDIA NORTH AMERICA REGIS PHILBIN TO HOST NEW VERSION OF CLASSIC GAME SHOWFOR MIDSEASON 2008LOS ANGELES, Oct. 11 - CBS has ordered six one-hour episodes of MILLION DOLLAR PASSWORD hosted by Regis Philbin for midseason 2008, it was jointly announced today by Ghen Maynard, CBS Executive Vice President, Alternative Programming & Entertainment Content for New Media, CBS Paramount Network Television Entertainment Group and Cecile Frot-Coutaz, CEO of FremantleMedia North America. The new primetime game show will be a modernized version based on the Goodson/Todman classics "Password," "Password Plus" and "Super Password.""'Password' is one of the all time classic game shows and we're thrilled to bring it back to television," said Ghen Maynard. "And what better person to host it than one of today's preeminent personalities, the ever enthusiastic and beloved Regis Philbin."
CBS hates us
I hope they wait now until February for TAR so it can get a nice build up. A friend of mine filmed an episode of Power of Ten and was told they would be on once they pull Kid Nation off the air.
Quote from: banredbeans on October 14, 2007, 07:09:50 PMI hope they wait now until February for TAR so it can get a nice build up. A friend of mine filmed an episode of Power of Ten and was told they would be on once they pull Kid Nation off the air. i think kid nation is going to get pulled in a couple weeks. how long can they let ratings fall reguardless of a strike by the writers.
I hope she won big money too. The sad thing is if the episodes are not shown that were taped the contestants only get to have 10% of the money they won.Does anyone remember what the ratings were for Pirate Master before the episodes went on line?
I'm never living this down, am I?
The buzzTo say media people arent looking upon Viva Laughlin favorably would be a huge understatement. Most rated this the worst new drama this fall and think it will be one of the first shows canceled. The only show with a worse reputation this fall is ABCs Cavemen, and that's not by much. I think the list of least promising new dramas starts and ends with Viva Laughlin, says one media researcher. Its sort of the Cop Rock for the 2000s. Theyre going to preview it after CSI on a Thursday, and then try to get people tune in after 60 Minutes, but Id rather slit my wrists. Its going to be very bad. If Laughlin performs as badly as most think it will, CBS is expected to plug in a new cycle of The Amazing Race.
I've suffered through the first five minutes...can we pull the plug now?

CRESTVIEW � Last September, Police Chief Tony Taylor inherited a department mired in scandal and divided in its loyalties.
CRESTVIEW � Last September, Police Chief Tony Taylor inherited a department mired in scandal and divided in its loyalties.
He said he has struggled to unite the force since taking over for fired Chief Brian Mitchell, but doesn�t believe he can do so until after the criminal trial of Maj. Joseph Floyd.
Taylor said he has spoken to every Crestview police employee since his hiring and �has observed a lot of tension.�
�We�ve still got a pretty big divide in the agency, and we�re not going to be able to put it behind us until this is over one way or another,� Taylor said. �I can�t pick up the momentum I need until after the trial.�
Floyd was arrested March 5, 2012, after a grand jury indicted for racketeering. His trial has been continued six times since then, most recently Feb. 28, when a March 18 court date was moved back to July 15.
Floyd�s indictment followed a lengthy investigation of the police department by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the state attorney�s office.
More than 40 witnesses were interviewed and testified before the grand jury, records show. Many witnesses were police department employees.
Taylor said the employees, �like in any agency, have opinions they�re passionate about, opinions that will remain until something is resolved.�
The charges leveled against Floyd indicate he was, at least, a divisive force in the department.
The indictment charged him with ordering or encouraging officers in his command to use excessive force.
It also alleged Floyd �frequently made derogatory comments to other officers about women and racial minorities.�
The grand jury�s presentment alleges Floyd �solicited sexual acts, using graphic, crude and vulgar language� and that the solicitations included fellow employees. It alleges he fondled a subordinate officer against her will.
Mitchell, who had been friends with Floyd when they worked for the Havana Police Department, also was subjected to grand jury scrutiny. While he was not indicted, jurors found his performance in regard to Floyd lacking.
The grand jury called for him to be fired and disciplined.
Mitchell brought Floyd to the Crestview department, apparently knowing he had been arrested in his past and had been in trouble as a police officer at other agencies.
The grand jury found Mitchell had shielded Floyd from pre-employment scrutiny when he was hired and that he failed to report Floyd�s alleged misdeeds to Crestview Mayor David Cadle, who oversees the police department.
It said Mitchell ordered officers with complaints against Floyd �to go through the chain of command,� which meant bringing them first to Floyd.
Jurors said Mitchell took no action after sexual harassment complaints were leveled against Floyd.
�His failure to redress Maj. Floyd�s offensive and humiliating conduct toward women and co-workers is indefensible,� the report said.
When Cadle announced he was firing Mitchell last April, he cited eroded trust and confidence in the community and low morale in the police department.
In their presentment, grand jurors noted �the conduct, courage and dedication� of most police department employees. Jurors commended the rank and file for �their fortitude and their devotion to duty in a hostile and dysfunctional work environment.�
The behavior of �officers who have endured hardship above and beyond what we would expect police officers and their families to endure was truly exemplary and heartening,� the report said.

Golden Eagles currently ranked 23rd in FCS Coach's
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Watson Brown, currently in his fifth season as the head football coach at Tennessee Tech University, has been given a contract extension that will last through the 2016 season.
"Watson Brown is a man of tremendous integrity and high character, and he has done an outstanding job of coaching and leading the student-athletes in our football program," said Mark Wilson, TTU Director of Athletics.
Brown, 61, was named in December, 2006,
as Tech's 10th head football coach. The 2011 season is his
39th year of coaching collegiate football overall and his 27th year
as a collegiate head coach.
His Golden Eagles are currently 4-2 and ranked 23rd nationally in the FCS Coach's Poll.
"I'm excited that the University is pleased with what we're doing," Brown said. "It always makes you feel good when you have a strong backing from your bosses. I'm excited that our program is getting better, and for the feeling of excitement around the program, and hopefully we can keep that going. I think we will get better and better each year."
Wilson pointed to Brown's leadership both on the field and off when announcing the contract extension.
"Watson' been such a great
leader for Golden Eagle football since he's been here,"
Wilson said. "He's a great coach, a great leader and a
great man, and we're fortunate that he's leading our
football team.
"As good a coach as Watson Brown is, he's a better man. He's really teaching our young men life lessons, the way he handles them off the field, and academically. He's teaching the young men that play football at Tennessee Tech to be great citizens in their communities when they graduate from here."
Brown's staff has done a remarkable job in recruiting during the past several years, and has raised the talent level walking the sidelines in Tucker Stadium. The veteran coach has used an even-tempered approach to teach his young staff and players, and the first four years have only increased Tech's desire to reclaim supremacy in the Ohio Valley Conference.
"I'm enjoying it. This is
home for me. When I was growing up, Tennessee Tech was absolutely
the best football program in the league. The experiences were
fantastic for me. I really wanted to come back here and give back,
and get the championships going again. It's been a long, long
time, but we're in the fight right now," Brown
Brown returned to the town where he was a talented baseball, football and basketball player at Cookeville High School. He signed with Vanderbilt out of high school and was a standout quarterback for the Commodores from 1969-72. He is best remembered by many Commodore fans for leading Vandy to a 14-10 victory over Alabama in 1969. Brown was named the Sports Illustrated National Back of the Week for his efforts.
He has worked hard in his effort toward rebuilding the Golden Eagles into Ohio Valley Conference champions and has had the support of the community and the Upper Cumberland Region. A popular speaker, Brown has addressed numerous clubs and organizations throughout the region during his time at Tech.
"This is where he wants to
be," Wilson said. "This is his hometown. He really
wants to make an impact for his hometown university and he is
certainly doing that. We are grateful for his service to Tennessee
Tech and I look forward to continuing to work with him as we grow
Golden Eagle football and continue to enhance this entire
Brown has found success on the recruiting trail, signing four of the most promising groups of newcomers in the program's history.
Raising the talent level at Tech is a key step in taking the Golden Eagles to a conference championship. It's a step that Brown is familiar with -- after all, building programs has been a calling card for Watson Brown.
He made his head coaching debut in 1979 in the Ohio Valley Conference directing the Austin Peay Governors, and at age 29, he was one of the youngest head coaches in the nation. He posted 7-4 records in both 1979 and 1980, twice being runner-up for Ohio Valley Conference Coach of the Year honors.
Brown began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Vanderbilt in 1973 and was a full-time assistant coach for the first time in 1974 as Pat Dye's quarterback and receiver coach at East Carolina. The Pirates were 7-4 in 1974 and 8-3 in 1975, posting victories over several Atlantic Coast Conference opponents.
Brown was the offensive coordinator at Jacksonville State University in 1976 and 1977 (at the time JSU was a Division II program). During those two seasons, the Gamecocks finished 7-4 and 11-3, and played for the Division II national championship in 1977.
Brown was the quarterbacks and receivers coach at Texas Tech in 1978, where the Red Raiders posted a 7-4 record in what was supposed to be a rebuilding year.
While serving as offensive coordinator at Vanderbilt for two seasons (1981-82), Brown's offense set 57 school records and the Commodores posted an 8-3 record and made a Hall of Fame Bowl appearance (1982).
In 1983, Brown was head coach at Cincinnati, where he led the Bearcats to a season-opening 14-3 victory at defending national champion Penn State.
Before coaching at Vanderbilt, Brown was athletic director and head football coach at Rice (1984-85). He led the Owls to two of their best offensive seasons.
From 1986-90, Brown was the head coach at Vanderbilt, his alma mater. In 1991 and 1992, Brown was the offensive coordinator at Mississippi State under head coach Jackie Sherrill. During those two seasons, the Bulldogs posted a 14-10 record, made two bowl appearances and upset three nationally ranked opponents.
Prior to going to UAB, Brown was the offensive coordinator at the University of Oklahoma (1993-94).
Coaching is a big part of Brown's family. His brother Mack Brown is the head coach at Texas and won a national championship with the Longhorns. His grandfather, Eddie "Jelly" Watson, was a legendary prep football coach, compiling a 106-51-13 record at Cookeville High School.
Brown's brother Mel resides in Cookeville. Watson Brown is married to the former Brenda Arnold, and they have two children; daughter Ginny, who was a four-year letterwinner at Georgia State University (1996-00), and a son Steven, who was a wide receiver/quarterback for the Golden Eagles in 2007 and has joined his father's coaching staff. After filling a role as a graduate assistant coach in 2008, Steven is now an assistant coach working with the quarterback and runningbacks.
Watson Brown is Tech's tenth head football coach since 1922, joining the ranks of Loyall Duck, Putty Overall, Hooper Eblen, Star Wood, Wilburn Tucker, Don Wade, Gary Darnell, Jim Ragland and Mike Hennigan.
Brown's many achievements as a student-athlete and later as a coach in the state of Tennessee have not gone unnoticed. Five years ago he was inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame.
In 2010, the National Football Foundation recognized Watson by selecting him as the recipient of the Roy Kramer Contribution to Football Award.

I noticed that there was a mistranslation in Tsukune's technique: "Muei-Tou Yamikiri"
Especially the part known as "Yamikiri", the first part "yami" of course means "darkness", but the second part wasn't added. The part known as "kiri" is also known as "setsu", this means "cut, cutoff, be sharp", it becomes "kiri" when it's combined with another kanji. So basically instead of the technique meaning "Shadowless Sword of the Darkness", when it's properly translated itle mean something like "Shadowless Sword of the Darkness Cutter" or "Shadowless Sword Darkness Cutter", itle mean somethiing similar to that, but this proves that the technique can be used offensively instead just being used for pure defense.

I'm sorry to those I tried to correct and I hope I didn't hurt your feelings.
I was convinced this was the February release, I got confused mostly due to the January release, which came out in the beginning of December, or in the last days of November, and even had a Christmas cover.
So, I counted that one has the December release and the one that came out in the last days of December has the January release.
I'm still new to this whole thing of waiting for the chapter every month, as much as I love the Manga, it was in my hold list for nearly 1 year, exactly because I wanted to have a bigger poll of chapters to read once I had re-started.
Again, sorry guys.

Manga Panda are the ones who translated the chapter, however, some sources indicate that they aren't very good translators, I'm not saying they're bad, but there were some noticeable errors in the translation, like misspelled words and missing letters.
Mangaholic are the ones who have taken up translation for R+V, they'll be releasing there translated version of the chapter soon, so I'm awaiting that version. I don't like the idea that the last part of Tsukune's technique name was left out, thats silly.

Not to mention, while, technically, speaking, Alucard does have some similarities with Outcast Ayashi, due to absorbing various ayashi into his body, I wouldn't consider him, as something like that - in my opinion he is a more unique type of being, that can't be easily classified using the ayashi species, that have appeared in this manga so far...
And, while Tsukune is currently at a risk of becoming a second Alucard, I definitely think that is going to be prevented / stopped, in the next few chapters, and a new direction of Tsukune's transformation or mutation (whatever you like to call it) is going to be opened, which will lead Tsukune to become something different then Alucard, but like Alucard, it will also be some unique type of being, that we won't be capable of easily classifying...

I think a bigger question would be, what kind of effect, this incident is going to have on Tsukune's body, since I doubt that his mentality is going to suffer through any changes, due to this incident...
Obviously, I don't mean that it's going to make Tsukune's body, even less "human" ... I mean that, using so much of his power, which Tsukune still can't fully control (since, he wouldn't be at a risk of becoming a second Alucard, if that has been the case), is going to have some negative consequences, that will temporarily inconvenience Tsukune's daily life, in the future arc's...
In other words, that there is going to be some price, that Tsukune would need to pay, for using so much of his Shinso powers...

Yet I would be glad if Tsukune throught even in 1 panel about Kurumu, Mizore, Rubi, Yukari.... and not allways moka ;/ its kinda sad for those girls.... that all tsukune has on mind is moka.... its like he totaly forgot that kurumu and mizore are there somewhere laying down hurt
so I hope that this will change and that whe would care for other girls more and think about them too... as thx to kurumu he is even alive so she at least deserves a 1panel "care" for here scene
Especially Kurumu should be there as she is a sucubus that designated tsukune as her one....if she doesnt get love from him she will lose power and die.... so a harem option is a must at the end of series (like issa have few wifes)

While, I realize that the other girls have feelings for Tsukune as well, and some might get hurt by him rejecting them (or in Kurumu's case, maybe something worse then that, although, I doubt that she will die, if her feelings aren't recuperated, I think it's something that the author added to spice up the drama factor, but it ultimately won't occur...), in my opinion,they will be hurt worse, if Tsukune gets together with them, without any feelings for them, that go beyond friendship, which ... for now, seems to be the case...

I think Kurumu really deserves to be with tsukune but for others i am not sure , i would be dissapointed if tsukune abandons kurumu and lets someone else have her since both moka and him owes her alot .
Didnt tsukene merged with wampire powers so why is he having that much of after efects ?

Considering the fact that there is not much suggesting that Tsukune has fallen in love with Kurumu (or the other girls), at least not to the same extent as Moka (which, has been pretty much suggested in the current chapter, and, as a matter of fact, if the author wanted to show that Tsukune has started to develop romantic feelings for the other girls, he had a perfect opportunity to do that, in the latest chapter)
Of course, there is still some time, before this manga ends, so anything is possible, but considering the fact, that the author, again showed that Tsukune prioritizes Moka , over the other girls, I would say that the chances of the other girls, managing to create a successful relationship with Tsukune, have ... again, been reduced, at least in my opinion...
Regarding Tsukune, he hasn't merged with his vampire powers, are anything of that sort - it's just that the HMT has accelerated his transformation, giving him more power, at his disposal, but at the same time, it put him at a more serious risk, of being affected by Alucard's presence, due to Tsukune having the same blood as Alucard, which is the reason for his current problem - that his blood started resonating with Alucard, causing his mutation to go out of control, putting Tsukune in a quite dangerous situation...

I dont know why tsuke cant become a wampire since there are lots of cases like this in other mangas or novels , its annoying that he needs to live with that seal for all his life . Why didnt tsukune couldnt become a wampire and turned to a ghoul which is like the lowest class of wampire servants .

But, I think that you are mistaken about Tsukune becoming a Ghoul, he hasn't become one, yet... because Tsukune hasn't lost his sanity, yet.
His current problems are only temporary in nature, once he overcomes them, which... naturally is going to take some time, I think that Tsukune is going to become something even more unique and amazing then a normal vampire... and at that point, he probably wouldn't need a seal anymore...
And I have to say that I'm glad that Ikeda took a more original way of developing Tsukune's transformation, compared to other vampire themed stories, since, to me... it caused the plot to become a lot more interesting, since we don't know what is the going to be the final outcome of Tsukune's transformation.

Norman is a successful VR entrepreneur. He co-founded Opaque Media Group in 2012 and was instrumental in growing the organization from the initial 4-people operation to becoming one of the most recognized VR studios in the world with clients such as NASA, Google, Microsoft and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and is seen as a key industry figure in the Australian VR and start-up industry.
In August 2016, at the invitation of HTC, Norman stepped down from his previous role in Opaque Media Group to become the CEO of Opaque Studios, the newly formed spin-off startup that took part in the prestigious Vive X accelerator.
Prior to founding Opaque Media Group, Norman was a lecturer at Swinburne University and a PhD researcher in the field of cognitive psychology. He is a published author in the field of computer vision and has long held a keen interest in understanding the interplay between technology and human perception.
Mariana is a technologist, pixel pusher and entrepreneur. During her years working at The Foundry she focused on Virtual Reality post-production workflows, as well as being the Head of Creatives in the Americas. She was instrumental in the launches of ExploreVR and Cara VR.
Mariana was a pioneer in her home town Mexico City, where she founded the first VR and 360 video production and branding agency - JoltVR.
Most recently she co-founded Opaque Studios, where she leads the roadmap for new and existing technology developing tools for Virtual Production using Virtual Reality, transforming the way film making is done today. She was one of the ten finalists of the Women Startup Challenge VR and AI on February, 2017 at Google in New York City.

Jannes is a 10-year industry veteran. He is the youngest person to ever hold a senior technical position in the German games industry and has worked as a professional game developer from before he graduated from high school.
A highly interdisciplinary engineer and cognitive scientist, Jannes has experience in the field of artificial intelligence, computer graphics, GPU computing, computer vision and real-time systems. Most notably, Jannes was responsible for developing a multi-threaded version of Unity, long before Unity offered thread management functionality.

At his previous position at Opaque Media Group, Jannes was instrumental in our Google Tango integration project as well as our Earthlight VR astronaut training collaboration with NASA despite having relatively little familiarity with either domain before taking part in the project.
As an intelligent Systems Engineer, Jannes was responsible for developing tools and other automation systems that enhances the productivity of other developers. For Earthlight, Jannes independently designed and created a complex tool to manage level progression and order story events in a graph. This lead to great deflation in project complexity and allowed everyone to work more independently.

The Dallas Solution
I have a friend who is president of his homeowners association in the Dallas, Texas suburbs. They were having a terrible problem with litter near some of his association's homes. The reason according to Wallace (my friend) is that six very large, luxurious new houses are being built right next to their community.
The trash was coming from the Mexican laborers working at the construction sites and included bags from McDonald's, Burger King and 7-11, plus coffee cups, napkins, cigarette butts, coke cans, empty bottles, etc. He went to see the site supervisor and even the general contractor, politely urging them to get their workers not to litter the neighborhood, to no avail. He called the city, county, and police and got no help there either.
So here's what his community did. They organized about twenty folks, named themselves The 'Inner Neighborhood Services' group, and arranged to go out at lunch time and 'police' the trash themselves. It is what they did while picking up the trash that is so hilarious .
They bought navy blue baseball caps and had the initials 'INS' embroidered in gold on the caps.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand what they hoped people might mistakenly think the letters really stand for.
After the Inner Neighborhood Services group's first lunch time pickup detail, with all of them wearing their caps and some carrying cameras, 46 out of the total of 68 construction workers did not show up for work the next morning -- and haven't come back yet.
It has been ten days now.
The General Contractor, I'm told, is madder than hell, but can't say anything publicly because he could be busted for hiring illegal aliens. Wallace and his bunch can't be accused of impersonating federal personnel, because they have the official name of the group recorded in their homeowner association minutes along with a notation about the vote to approve formation of the new subcommittee -- and besides, they informed the INS in advance of their plans and according to Wallace, the INS said basically, 'Have at it!'

NEW YORK -- Billy Reid, recent recipient of the CFDA's Menswear Designer of the Year Award for 2012, sent his men's and women's spring-summer 2013 collections down the runway here on Sept. 7 during New York Fashion Week.
The inspiration: Reid focused his attention – and love of tailoring – on lighter-weight spring and summer fabrications for both men and women, and the look and feel of the women's collection found additional inspiration in "Charles Brittin: West and South," a book compiling the work of Brittin, a photographer who chroniclied the arts and civil rights movements of the '50s and '60s.
Photos:NYFW Week celebrity sightings
The look: The overall vibe was easygoing Southern chic -- for the men that meant linen double-breasted suits, relaxed khaki trousers and tennis shorts and traditionally heavier outerwear pieces like lambskin jackets and leather bombers that felt as breezy as the linen gauze shirts they were layered over.
On the women's side of the collection, that translated into linen gauze Dolman dresses, leather trousers, skirts and vests that draped like silk, and cotton voile shirts.
A pelican motif appeared on a handful of pieces throughout the collection, taking wing on ascots, polo shirts and hand-knit sweaters for men, and wrap dresses, shirt dresses and shirts for women. (The brown pelican is native to the Gulf region – including Alabama where Reid is based).
The scene:Spotted in the crowd were NBA players Rajon Rondo (Boston Celtics) and recent Olympic gold mdela winner Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma Thunder) -- who was taking in just his second-ever fashion show (his first had been Richard Chai), actress/singer Mandy Moore and actors Gabriel Mann and Jack Huston.
The verdict:Any designer that can make leather jackets and trousers look cool, comfortable and wearable on a muggy Manhattan that approached 100% humidity is nothing short of a miracle worker.

USC's recruiting board at linebacker continues to evolve as visits crank up this month. The Gamecocks would like to add two more linebackers to their class according to defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward. One possibility is Devaris Brunson of Lake City. The Shrine Bowler has been committed to East Carolina since late June and remains so according to his coach Jim Rowell. But Gamecock recruiter Everette Sands recently placed a call to Rowell and left a message about Brunson. Rowell said neither he nor Brunson has talked to Sands. NC State, which has been an offer for Brunson, also remains interested. And Louisiana-Lafayette also has been in touch. Brunson's stock has gone up recently because his grades have. Rowell said Brunson should qualify as long as he doesn't back up academically. Brunson is scheduled for an official visit to East Carolina next weekend and one to NC State the following weekend. This season Brunson had 88 tackles with 4 sacks and two interceptions which he returned for touchdowns. He also rushed for 850 yards
The Gamecocks checked in on LB Brandon Golson of Georgia Military JC last month to see if he might be an option for them. But Golson, who has been committed to Arizona, is not returning to the junior college this semester, and the SEC rule about junior college transfers having to attend the same JC for three consecutive semesters will prevent USC from moving forward with Golson according to his former high school coach at Calhoun County Walt Wilson. Wilson said Golson, who is going to attend Orangeburg-Calhoun TEC this semester, will probably stick with his Arizona commitment.

Lexington, Kentucky -- Mel Turpin, a Cleveland Cavaliers center for three seasons after becoming an All-American at the University of Kentucky, committed suicide Thursday, authorities said. He was 49.
Police and the coroner were called to his North Lexington house Thursday afternoon on a personal injury call. They found Turpin dead.
Coroner Gary Ginn says that Turpin had committed suicide, but would not say how. He also would not say whether Turpin left behind a suicide note.
Neighbor Amanda McFadden said Turpin always seemed happy.
"He never looked upset. He kept a smile on his face, just a good person," she said.
The Washington Bullets selected Turpin with the sixth overall pick in the 1984 draft, then sent him to the Cavaliers the same day in a pre-arranged trade. That draft included Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, John Stockton and Charles Barkley.
The 6-11 Turpin averaged 10.6 points, shooting 51 percent from the field, and 5.7 rebounds as a rookie for the 1984-85 Cavaliers team that made the playoffs after a 2-19 start to their season.
The next season, Turpin averaged 13.7 points and seven rebounds, shooting 54 percent.
Turpin lost his starting job with the Cavaliers after they took Brad Daugherty with the first pick in the 1986 draft. Turpin came off the bench to average 6.1 points and three rebounds for the 86-87 Cavs, then was traded to the Utah Jazz during the off-season. His career ended after one season with Utah and one with Washington.
Turpin, dubbed "The Big Dipper" at Kentucky -- and later "Dinner Bell Mel" for his appetite -- was an All-Southeastern Conference player for the Wildcats from 1980-84. He led Kentucky to the SEC championship in 1984.
Turpin helped lead the Wildcats to three consecutive regular-season SEC titles. He averaged a career-high 15.2 points per game in 1983-84 and shot 74.5 percent from the field.

From an Associated Press article by Nicole Winfield about Pope Benedict XVI's resignation:
VATICAN CITY -- The Vatican lashed out Saturday at the media for what it said has been a run of defamatory and false reports before the conclave to elect Pope Benedict XVI's successor, saying they were an attempt to influence the election.
Buried deep in this very confusing article, probably past the point anyone will read:
The divisions ... were exposed by the documents taken from the pope's study by his butler and then leaked by a journalist. The documents revealed the petty wrangling, corruption and cronyism and even allegations of a gay plot at the highest levels of the Catholic Church.

OMG, I hope people don't read this and think what you are saying is acceptable
FYI I always go out with the assumption that I will with a high probability remain connected to my kite!!
I appreciate that in the event of you becoming detached from your kite the wind direction is maybe less important than the distance you have to swim to reach the shore but off shore winds are DANGEROUS. Most people remain connected to their kite and this is the reason why off shore winds are dangerous, the slim possibility that you become detached from the kite whether accidentally or on purpose is not an excuse.
As with all kiting your worst case exit plan is to ditch the kite and swim in but this should always be your final option. The problem with OS winds is that you can very quickly get blown out further than you can swim if you spend too long trying to relaunch a kite/looking for a board/untangling a 5th line wrap so your theory is clearly flawed:-
Sure you can stay within swimming distance but OS winds will blow you out further than you can swim before you realise, especially as most people will spend the extra time trying to relaunch their kite rather than risk losing it.
Need a break now, getting wound up by this BS

Patent Trolls Cost The Economy Half A Trillion Dollars
from the ouch dept
Note that this isn't trying to count "losses" like the entertainment industry in trying to make up numbers about what would have sold. This is a direct observation on value of companies sued by patent trolls, and looking at how much of their value evaporates in response to the lawsuits. The $500 billion number represents a total over 20 years -- from 1990 to 2010. But, even worse (and not surprisingly), the numbers show that this number has been going up. Over the last four years, the total decimation of value from patent troll cases has averaged over $80 billion per year. In other words, over $320 billion of that $500 billion came in just the last four years.
Does this mean that some of this money is being transferred to actual inventors? Nope. Again, the research finds otherwise. The incentive to inventors has not increased by nearly the same amount. The research points out that licensing companies could add value -- but that under the current system, they do almost certainly do not. And as the problem is getting worse, all Congress can do is pass some hapless reform bill that doesn't even deal with the patent trolls issue at all.

Difference between revisions of "Sichuan"
Revision as of 19:40, 20 July 2010
Sichuan (四川; Sìchuān; previously known as Szechwan), is a province in the west of the Southern Central Region of China.
dumb ass.
Chongqing Municipality is administratively separate, but culturally and historically still Sichuanese. See List of Chinese provinces and regions.
Other destinations
Climate — See the climate table on Chengdu page
The language of most of Sichuan is a variant of Mandarin (Southwest), which differs from standard Mandarin of the north-east significantly in pronunciation, and use of slang which are unique to the area. Nevertheless, native speakers of Mandarin will be able to understand the local dialect albeit with some difficulty. Tibetan is still the mother tongue in most of the highland west, but the region becoming more and more Sinified. There is a moderate amount of bi-lingual signage in the area. Therefore, many young people in the western regions are bi-lingual in both Tibetan and Mandarin. Qiangic, native to the Qiang minority group, also native to Sichaun, is also to be found in western Sichuan. The vast majority of signage is always in Mandarin Chinese characters throughout the province regardless of the ethnic majority in the given area albeit you will see some signage in Tibetan indic script. Many young people in Sichuans larger cities speak some English.
Get in
Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan has a fairly large modern airport with domestic connections to many cities all over China and also some international connections. Internationally you can fly from Europe (KLM), Singapore, Japan, Korea and Hong Kong, and many people arrive and depart using the very good air services available.
China has an extensive railway network and Chengdu is well connected to many cities by rail. One recent innovation is a fast train between Chongqing and Chengdu. Chongqing is a very large city which was part of Sichuan until 1997 but now is an independent municipality. Many trains shuttle forth every day between Chongqing and Chengdu. Not so long ago, the journey took anywhere between 4 and 8 hours depending on stops. Now a fast train (up to 200 kms per hour) run several times a day between the two.
Another option are buses. Buses run between Chongqing and Chengdu taking about 4 hours. However, bus travel seems to be less reliable than trains because of road works that are often occurring.
There are also several options of travelling within Sichuan. Many popular tourist destinations such as Leshan and Jiuzhaigou National Park are serviced by buses. The network is quite extensive and the highways are good. Buses also seem to mostly run on time.
Air travel is available within Sichuan if you want to go to Jiuzhaigou National Park which is over 300 kms from Chengdu.
Get around
Sichuan cuisine is well-known worldwide, including dishes like Kung Pao Chicken (宮保雞丁) and Twice Cooked Pork (回鍋肉). It is also famously spicy, with liberal use of chilies and the indigenous Sichuan pepper (花椒; huājiāo).
One of the other specialty of the area is the Hot weiner and juicy balls.
Stay safe
The province of Sichuan suffered a catastrophic earthquake on May 12, 2008 centered on Wenchuan County, about 100km north of Chengdu city. Many cities were nearly completely destroyed and over 80,000 people are dead or missing with hundreds of thousands more injured or homeless. Government response was fast, but reconstruction will take years.
Many of West Sichuan's main attractions are located at altitudes above 3,000 meters and thus altitude sickness is a threat. Make sure to monitor your own health and take it easy for a day or two if moving from the low lands to higher elevations.
To help combat this sickness, many local Chinese eat medicine known as Hong Jing Tian. These are red capsules that the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army use to help them quickly adjust to altitude conditions in the Western Chinese provinces. Local tour companies will have a ready supply of this medicine if you ask.
There is also tension in Western Sichuan between the Chinese government and the mainly Tibetan people there and travel restrictions may apply to this area. See the warnings under Tibet.

ADELBODEN, Switzerland (AP) -- Ted Ligety is writing himself into World Cup skiing history in what is fast becoming his career-best season.
Victory on Saturday at the Adelboden giant slalom - one of the oldest and most traditional venues on tour - had the 28-year-old United States racer reflecting on his career achievements and the company he's keeping in the record books.
First, there was satisfaction in taming the snow-covered, Swiss cow pastures where the winner's list since the inaugural week of World Cup racing in 1967 reads like an Alpine who's who.
"It's the only classic GS I haven't won, so it's nice to get it," said Ligety, whose name is inscribed along with Jean-Claude Killy, Ingemar Stenmark, Alberto Tomba and Hermann Maier.
His 15th career World Cup win, all in his best discipline, also tied him with Tomba for career wins in World Cup giant slaloms.
"He was one of my childhood heroes," Ligety said of the flamboyant Italian great, whose four titles in the season-long GS standings from 1987-95 could be matched by the American this year. "I grew up watching World Cup ski racing and following it. It's cool to be able to have your name part of that history."
Ligety, who grew up in Park City, Utah, notched a fourth World Cup win in a season for the first time. The behind-the-scenes story of his third race win, at the Italian venue Alta Badia last month, is the subject of a TV broadcast Sunday.
Ligety has posted four wins, when he followed his 3-for-3 start to the 2010-11 GS campaign with a gold medal at the last world championships in Garmisch, Germany.
Still, Ligety insisted on Saturday: "It would be hard to argue this isn't my best season in GS."
It certainly will be if he defends his world title next month in Schladming, Austria, the next GS race on the calendar.
Perhaps what marks this season is how Ligety has adapted best to new International Ski Federation regulations that imposed longer skis on GS racers. It was expected to hamper his aggressive, hard-carving style.
"He is skiing at a higher level right now than ever," U.S. Alpine head coach Sasha Rearick told The Associated Press, "in terms of strategically understanding the hills and adapting his skis to different situations."
Ligety's closest rivals are quick to show their respect.
"Ted is for sure the best GS skier in the last few years and he will be in the next ones," said Felix Neureuther of Germany, who placed third on Saturday, a distant 1.24 seconds back from Ligety's combined two-run time of 2 minutes, 28.67 seconds.
Ligety's winning margin of 1.15 over German runner-up Fritz Dopfer was actually small by his standards this season - and owed plenty to a big mistake by first-run leader Marcel Hirscher of Austria, the overall World Cup standings leader and the only other winner of a GS this season.
A predicted Ligety-Hirscher duel was following the script when they were almost one second faster than everyone else in the morning. Ligety had relied on an acrobatic recovery when he skied wide cresting the steep final slope.
In the afternoon, as bright sunshine disappeared behind the mountains, Ligety skied safely down the darkening course to give Hirscher a tough task.
Ligety celebrated taking the lead with a small punch of his left fist, then watched as Hirscher blew his comfortable lead with a big mistake in sight of the finish.
"I was definitely gifted it by Hirscher today because he would have beaten me by a good margin," Ligety said.
His 100-point win built a lead of 125 over Hirscher in the GS standings with three races left.
Hirscher, who placed 16th, acknowledged taking "too much risk."
"For 99 percent of the race, I was extremely fast," said the defending overall champion, who looked on the bright side. "It's great to see that I can beat Ligety."
Hirscher leads the overall by 26 points, ahead of Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway, who was sixth on Saturday.
Ligety was third overall, 103 behind Hirscher, although the Austrian will be favored to regain ground in the slalom on Sunday.
Though Ligety, the 2006 Olympic champion in combined, has only won giant slaloms in the World Cup circuit, he has all-around ambitions.
"That has always been a goal of mine," he said, citing admiration for two Norwegian greats who in the 1990s earned giant crystal globes given to the overall World Cup winner. "The heroes I had growing up were guys like (Kjetil Andre) Aamodt and (Lasse) Kjus, who could win at every event. So that is something I would definitely like to do."
To show it, Ligety will compete in the two classic downhills in the next two weekends at nearby Wengen, and the fearsome Streif slope at Kitzbuehel, Austria.
"I never wanted to be a specialist," he said.
