"If you're running newer hardware, there are some definite advantages to installing a 64-bit operating system. But, if you still need to run any 32-bit applications, you'll need to have the 32-bit support libraries installed. Different Linux distros handle this in different ways. For 64-bit Ubuntu, finding the proper 32-bit support packages is a simple matter of opening up the Synaptic Package Manager, and searching for the string 'ia32'. With 64-bit openSuSE, 32-bit support is already built-in, so you don't have to do anything. With Fedora, though, it's a whole different story. Not only are the 32-bit packages not already installed, the Fedora folk don't provide any documentation on how to install them. The directions I found via Google were outdated, and wouldn't work. I finally resolved the problem by sking a Red Hat employee in my local Linux Users Group."

Working through is the process in psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy, when a therapist and patient follow on from an interpretation exploring the implications while overcoming the resistance in order to enable the client to accept the previously repressed material underlying their symptoms. It is the working through of the implications of the new understanding. It is believed that such working through is critical towards the success of therapy.[1]
Mary had idolised her mother and hated her father because he abused her. In therapy she came to relise that her mother must have known about the abuse. This new insight means that Mary had to work through the implications and reevaluate her feelings towards her mother, perhaps eventually discussing the issue with her. It is called "work" for a reason as it can be very difficult and exhausting emotionally to process such new information.

The news is way too serious for summer. In this season of beach parties and backyard barbecues, no one wants to worry about Texas banning abortions or the Supreme Court dismantling the voting rights law. We're in that nether world known as summer break, and the bad news is striking a discordant note.
Factories are closed for vacation, professional offices are lightly staffed, kids are off to sleep-away camp and moms and dads are kicking back.
Even teenagers, taking on jobs at the shore, heading out on teen tours or attending resume-enhancing classes at Harvard Summer School, aren't dwelling on Paula Deen's vile, racist remarks or Nelson Mandela's precarious health. Adults aren't engaging in intellectual debate, preferring to get deep into Candy Crush rather than discuss where in the world Edward Snowden is.
Who besides me is left at the desk to ponder the preposterous candidacy of Anthony Weiner for mayor of New York City? I sit here quietly celebrating the Supreme Court rulings supporting gay marriage and realizing that no one really wants to think serious thoughts in July and August. The world has gone fishing. Slather on the sunscreen and pass the margaritas. Apparently, it's only SCOTUS and me and a few other news hounds keeping the office open.
So I'm outta here. I want to go to camp, too. I never went as a kid. I can afford it now, and I deserve a few weeks of R&R. Thing is, I don't want to go to any of the so-called "adult camps" presently available. I know there's a cowboy camp out West, a la "City Slickers," baseball camp for paunchy men who want to hit a home run, cooking schools in France for wannabe Julia Childs and writing workshops for my sort.
I've thought about this, and I know what I want. I'd like to go to a camp where I can play Scarlett O'Hara in "Gone with the Wind." I want to swish a fan as I sit on the porch of Tara, rip down the green velvet drapes and exchange suggestive remarks with Rhett Butler.

"great product"
A horse owner for over 40 yrs, I have owned/managed some large boarding stables & used a variety of products. Stable Fresh does a great job of controlling odor & keeping flies in the stalls to a minimum. I mix it in a small pump mister and spray the stalls while cleaning - fast & easy!
Absolutely no comparison to bye bye odor. I will go back to using bye bye odor as it leaves a much fresher smell and also lessens flies since the urine smell is so well controlled.
"Stable Fresh Stall Deodorizer"
Bought a bottle of Stable Fresh over two years ago and just using the last of it. We only have a small barn. This product is great in controling urine odors and leaves a pleasant fresh smell. A bottle goes a long way. I would highly recommend this product!

There was a time during his five year hiatus, when you'd have been forgiven for thinking London-based singer/songwriter Barbarossa might not return to solo recording. So it comes as a rather pleasant surprise to get not one, but two releases of new material in the space of a year from the man behind the 'red beard' nom de plume - James Mathé.
Of course, it's not like Mathé wasn't busy during this extended break. When not touring with Jose Gonzalez or in Johnny Flynn's Sussex Wit he's plotted a solo sea change; overhauling his sound from acoustic folk troubadour to gloomy digitised soul man. Last year's Bloodlines traded the guitars of his debut - 2008's Chemical Campfires - for analogue synths and processed drums; Mathé's arresting vocals found their natural fit embedded amongst fresh landscapes of minimalist electronica.
And it's these foreboding electro-atmospherics which Mathé - in collaboration with Robert D Morris (better known under the pseudonym Boy 8 Bit) - seems intent on developing further on new EP Elevator, a lyrically spare collection of four songs that was initially conceived as part of the soundtrack to a short film. 'Elevator' - the most fully realised and conventional track here - opens the EP with a claustrophobic industrial thud; melodious synths panning and swirling around Mathé's haunted voice. "There is death behind your eyes/And a sign that reads vacancy inside" he broods before the song reveals itself in the chorus; resonant organs, widescreen strings and multi-layered vocals shuddering into life as they crack a veneer of calm.
'No Glue' and 'Lupo's Theme' walk a more experimental line, both sharing similarities in tone, density and rhythm. The latter sees Mathé's vocals modulated to the point of unintelligible distortion, a fluid bond to the central melody that shifts between octaves; thick layers of soul married to looping off-kilter beats that wax and wane across the track. And 'No Glue' is a sparse composition that highlights Mathé's lyrics; "Something in my eyes tonight, you don't recognise or like", he intones throughout the first half of the song, only to employ an almost imperceptible change in expression during the second half, which subtly shifts perspective, from accused to accuser/oblivious confusion to unnerving threat. 'Win/End' closes the album with fidgety hi-hats and cavernous beats; woozy melodies simmering gently under a swathe of warm chords. Mathé building pace incrementally as he recursively intones, "I want to win", until a falsetto synth finally pierces the gloom; its arpeggiated climax, like a pinhole of blinding light tearing through the dark.
If you were to find fault, it's that these songs feel too bound to the hangups of an unfilmed script. Where Bloodlines - which also drew influence from cinema - employed conceptual ideas to evoke emotional clarity, this EP meanders too much in a skittering ambiance that occasionally leaves songs feeling like sketches; evoking space and mood, but little else. Elevator is certainly not without its charms - Mathé's voice remains an instrument of fragile beauty - but next time it would be good to see him untangled entirely from conceptual trappings; for now however, just hearing him explore the boundaries and possibilities of his newly minted style is no bad thing.

By SUE RYAN
News staff writer
January 6, 2007
The year turned over Sunday and with it came a welcome start to 2007 for Hood River County.
Emergency Management Officer Karl Tesch received word Dec. 31 that the state's application for disaster relief had received presidential approval.
"What it means is the government is probably paying for most of the costs," he said.
He referred to the Nov. 5-8 flood damages; which affected four counties in Oregon including Hood River, Lincoln, Tillamook, and Clatsop.
The state's Emergency Management Office had listed the total amount of assessed damages at $6 million for all four counties. Before any money arrives though, the applicants face a round of paperwork and bureaucracy. The first step will be for Tesch to meet with County Administrator Dave Meriwether and Economic Development Coordinator Bill Fashing. That meeting is set for next week.
Following it, OEM will bring federal coordinators to Hood River within the next few weeks to explain the next level of report requirements. Those involve each entity submitting much more detailed requests than the initial reports.
"The briefing will be to get the paperwork started and to set up each one with a project manager," said Abby Kershaw, director of OEM's financial and recovery section.
The storm affected 14 sites within Hood River County. The Mt. Hood Railroad, which reported more than $1 million in damages, will not receive any relief.
"The private sector is not covered," Tesch said.
Among the sites affected by the damages were both Farmers and Middle Fork irrigation districts, Ice Fountain Water District, Red Hill Road Bridge, Toll Bridge Road, and Highway 35.
One question remains gray. That is whether or not the Port of Hood River damages will be considered. Initially Kershaw had said the port would not be covered due to legal definitions. Those outline that any damaged infrastructure such as the Hood River channel that is the responsibility of another agency can not be considered for damage assessment by the state. In the Port's case, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is responsible for dredging costs.
The damages at the port involve shoaling and sand that has filled in at the cruise ship dock. The state said that made the damages ineligible as it was the responsibility of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Tesch disagreed.
"The port is covered," he said.
Jon Gornick, Corps dredging engineer, said Thursday that nothing was happening on the Corps part.
"At this point, it's in the port's hands," he said.
Kershaw stated Thursday that the issue was one that had to be resolved between the Corps and port.
"The port? It's not for sure," she said.
Kershaw explained that FEMA would examine the situation once they arrived to figure out the port's eligibility.
Michael McElwee, executive director for the Port, said they are working closely with the Corps on the access channel issue.
"There are limited, if any economic damages to port facilities except for that channel," he said.
He said the port has just begun the evaluation of the situation, which may take up to a year to complete.
"Until we do that, it's unclear what would be the most prudent options to pursue," he said.

Note: If you do not agree, then great! Go ahead and try something else; this is on of the great aspects of Linux. Please do not flame me for expressing my opinions; thoughtful retorts are most definitely welcome. I do not provide screenshots – each product has their own screenshots so I will not waste bandwidth here.
In the Beginning
In 1995, I purchased my first Linux book, 'Linux Unleashed', complete with a Linux CD that just happened to include Slackware 1.0x. I had a 486 system that, at the time, was a decent machine. I had become disillusioned with Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 was again delayed. I dabbled in OS/2 for a short time but always ended up back with Windows. Seeking an alternative, I ventured into the world of Linux.
I was impressed with Linux but at the same time very confused; this was not anything at all like DOS or Windows and my entire computing paradigm had just been shattered right before my eyes. Installation was long and difficult on my 2X CD-ROM drive. I struggled with using Slackware for a while but I was never really able to switch my mindset over to Linux, and I could not play any good games or get on the internet. Having only one computer and one wife (who wanted to play games and get on the internet), it was back to Windows once again where I could play games and surf the 'net. I really enjoyed my short time with Slackware but it was time to move on.
Fast forward to 2003. I upgraded to a blazing fast 2.4GHz hyperthreaded P4 system with an Intel 865PE chipset-based motherboard and a Radeon 9700 Pro; I had hopes of using Linux on this system and finally dumping Microsoft for good. No such luck.
Slackware 9.1 was hot off the presses so I decided to give it a go. I downloaded the Slackware ISOs from LinuxISO.org and burned them. Unfortunately, the kernel in Slackware 9.1 was too old and my new hardware was not detected properly – notably my onboard ICH6 LAN and AC'97 audio. The final nail in the coffin, though, was the lack of drivers for my Radeon 9700 Pro - ATi was VERY slow in getting Linux drivers out for Xfree86 4.3.0 (and I had given up before they finally released drivers – which they only released as an RPM, and I did not yet know about rpm2tgz). I put Windows XP back on the system so I could fire up Battlefield 1942, Unreal Tournament 2003, and Medal of Honor. I cannot tell a lie: I'm a gaming junkie and I need my fix. Slackware, however, impressed me quite a bit, despite not finding my new hardware (and I did not realistically expect it to find my new hardware, an issue that has plagued Linux in general for a long time).
I had an old PIII/800 system laying around and decided to experiment with Linux again. I tried Red Hat 9.0 (which I actually have running on another system that is my web server), Debian (which was way too much work), Mandrake, Knoppix, Slax, Yoper, and even Lindows (see DistroWatch if you are unfamiliar with any of these). None of them quite met my needs for one reason or another; it is worth noting that I was absolutely underwhelmed by Mandrake after all that I had heard about it (please, no flames, just accept the fact that not everybody likes Mandrake). I was going to try Gentoo but I was worried that it would take a dreadfully long time to install on an 800MHz machine. Also, I always get confused as to exactly which CDs to use to install the operating system.
Slackware 9.1
I kept looking at those Slackware 9.1 CDs that I had burned, sitting on my desk, taunting me. "What the heck," I thought, "let's give it a go." Slackware installed quickly on my PIII; I told it to install the full 2GB, or "everything." To my surprise, the installation went perfectly and all my hardware was found. Using Slackware is a vastly different experience than my many years with Red Hat (7.0 -> 9.0), as it does not have the fancy GUI utilities to administer the system. Having played with all those other distributions left me "broken" in that I had become totally dependent upon graphical management tools. For shame! Head hanging low, I resolved to get up to speed on managing a Linux system properly. More on that later.
A quick jump to my old buddy, Google, and I was finding out that the Slackware community was alive and thriving. I learned about installpkg, xwmconfig, Linuxpackages.net, swaret, and more. Wow, Slackware is nothing like my experience back in 1995! Immediately impressed, I tried my hand at upgrading: kernel 2.6.0-testx and KDE 3.2 beta..
The upgrades were easy and went well, but I had a few issues that I was unable to resolve (like getting the mouse wheel to work, despite properly adding 'ZAxisMapping' and 'Buttons' options to XF86Config). Wine never worked quite right, so I could not play games on this system. I tried getting into better games like Unreal Tournament 2003 (this system has a GeForce2 Ti200 in it) but it unexpectedly failed (OpenGL errors) after playing a few times and I could never get the game to work again (or any 3D other than the Mesa3D applications/games) I never quite figured it out. The nVidia message boards were quite unresponsive to anything but the easy questions; I never received any replies to my posts. OpenOffice.org will not do the "CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER" equations that I need for some custom Excel files I created. I never did get MySQL working. Slowly, sadly, the system faded into disuse, and the PIII system was converted into my MP3 server, running Windows XP, because I had a need to do it NOW, and not mess with it for hours on end trying to figure it out in Linux. Which brings up a point – Linux needs to be easy to use without treating advanced users like idiots. Microsoft failed here, please don't let Linux follow suit.

wow... the only choice here is who you won't include in your list...
it's pretty hard to choose from really likable characters...
even the minor characters are likable...
anyway i voted for...
tsukasa... my favorite of the show... she wasn't my favorite at first but i gradually liked her as the show progressed and then ep 5 came and the infamous balsamic vinegar came and that bumped her up to my favorite spot... ep 6 with the beach ep and the tsukasa ending just sealed the deal... and i've been liking her ever since... even my blog was was named from her other memorable line of "あとごふんだけほんとうに~"... and when she asked konata "what's moe' i just had to think "that would be you tsukasa <3"...
kagami... my first favorite character... she's the one i voted for in the first poll... just before i was converted towards tsukasa... what captured me at first was her tsundere traits... but tsundere isn't exactly the right word for it though... it's also fun watching her be the tsukkomi of the other characters boke...
kanata... ep 22... nuff said...
yutaka... she's just so cute... the way she act is so cute... she also has the sickly chara trait that just begs for her to be protected... and her singing to the mojipittan song can give you a moe overload...
minami... silent chara moe... one of my favorite moe traits... she also has many cute moments as what was witnessed my miyuki's mom in ep 23...
misao... that fang... that voice... just screams moe... i want a drama cd where she just narates her day... even though i won't understand everything she says her voice is just so moe it's criminal...
ayano... she lacks screentime but that one pic with her having her hair down was just so hawt... i still don't know what moe attribute she has...
patty... i also would like a drama cd with her narrating her day... she's tied with misao for having the cutest voice and with tsukasa in the not so distant second... and as with misao i tend to replay the scenes where she talks just to hear more of her...
hiyori... as someone mentioned before... she has yuri vision... ep 19 also show lots of good moments for her... especially when she expresses wih her face the character expressions she's drawing...
matsuri... she's just as tsundere(again not the right word but it gets the message accross, ihope) as kagamin... and ep 17... nuff said...

To be honest I just wanted to select everyone, but I'll just pick the ones that stand out the most for me.
Izumi Konata - My #1 Choice of the main group. I can say a lot, but it's mainly how she acts. Her expressions are great 2. Especially when she's gloomy.
Takara Miyuki - After thinking about it she doesn't get enough loving. She may not be the most interesting char in the group, but she does her thing. She's definitely has the best troubled expression.
Tamura Hiyori - What can I say she likes yuri, I like yuri. She has an innocent look and how her looks changes when she gets hurt is nuthin but <3. #1 in my side character book.
Takara Yukari - Still wondering why I chose her. It just happened. o_O
I was really tempted to pick Kagami, but I know she's well loved as it is and I knew she was going to be number one. She is not my favorite though.

Taking a quote from the ROCK...
"Finally the Poll of your Favorite Lucky Star Characters are up!"
Well, well looks like my hunch we're right since Konata and Kagami are the 2 most popular main they'll be in the lead. But now Kagamin has a bit of a lead since her character development was so good in the anime. But my favorite main character is still Konata...for the guys of Lucky Star the most entertaining for me is Anime Tenchou, sorry Minoru, you're funny and all, but I like hot blooded guys, but don't worry I voted for ya.
And I kinda voted for moms also since thanks to them we have cute little versions of them LOL I was looking for Miki, but she wasn't there in the poll Too bad...
So here's the guys I voted for :
Izumi Konata - who wouldn't love a cute loli girl that likes anime and games and a total otaku with a long moppy hair, seductive charm eyes, cat smile and a cute voice. Definately my type of loli.
Hiiragi Kagami - tusndere and pigtails are not my cup of tea, but being a good friend to Konata and having alot of air time developed her character in the anime. Her attitude towards friends and family gives her great character like a real person in real life. Kagamin you got my vote!
Shiraishi Minoru - funny and the only REAL person to play as himself in the anime. WAWAWAWA... LOL every Shiraishi end
Narumi Yui - I dunno I just like the elder cousin type that has a catlike loli face that often visits after her work shift as a police. Must be the chair rocking episodes...dunno.
Izumi Soujiro - a man that hit the jackpot Kanata! The real Otaku dad. Who doesn't like to have a dad like that?
Izumi Kanata - the mom that looks like the daughter how can i resist that? elegant, sweet, nice, womanly and loli at same time great combination for a character. Too bad she's dead. But her air time gave a great deph in her relationship with Sou-kun.
Iwasaki Minami - silent, phoenix eyes, shy and unique. I like anime girls like that gets me more curious, makes me want to know about her.
Kusakabe Misao - 2 reason the voice is by far imho the cutest among the LS girls. Ever since her 1st appearance "Oi Hiiragi" she got me! The second reason I like her design and over all friendliness towards people. Who could resist that?
Patricia Martin - cute voice, American, tallest among the girls and 100% an otaku girl! Great character addition to the LS group.
Tamura Hiyori - I got a thing for long, black haired girls that draws well go figure. Much of her air time is comedic, but that doesn't mean she's all goof. Her passion in manga making and drawing are her good qualities, though she fantasizes to much yuri and yaoi...XD
Hiiragi Inori - one reason looks like Nagato Yuki and has phoenix eyes. Or was it 2 reasons? :P
Takara Yukari - well sorry Miyuki, though your a loli, I like the moms better. Maybe Iam not a lolicon...or it's just she's got that mature woman magnet. :P
Anime Tenchou - BAKUNETSU!!! Any hot blooded guy this cool is A1 in my book. He gave more entertainment and funny moments among all the male support and lead characters in LS. Probably the best male character in LS next to Minoru. But he's not an LS character, but he SURE DOES FIT IN, the LS storyline most especially the LS Channel interview. Tanizawa - FINGER!!!

I choose Konata, Tsukasa, Miyuki-san, Minamin, Ayano, Hiyorin and Patricia-san.
@ Konata: She's cute. Her mouth is GOD! . Thanks to Kona, I'm now in a Otaku second phase: Merchandise.
@ Tsukasa: Balsamic Vinegar :3
@ Miyuki-san: Miwiki is so moe! SO MOE!
@ Minamin: Cute and she does all right, as it haves to be *laughts as Miyuki's mom*
@ Ayano: My avatar explains it
@ Hiyorin: "No! I can't view my friends as that!" FTW
@ Patricia-san: Blond (well, I don't like the blond-girls however), and American Otaku, that's all
I would like to choose Kanata-mama, but my fingers are too darn evil to touch her option ;-;

I limited myself to six votes in the end:
-Tsukasa: Shes been my favourite character since the beginning of the series, everytime she was on I couldn't help to not love her more.
-Patricia: I loved her when she came in and always thought "I wish I knew someoneone like her", its a pity she came in so late though.
-Konata: Shes an otaku and a very funny one at that. Shes also not that shy about it.
-Kanata: Truely a perfect mother
-Soujiro: AKA pedo-dad, one must adore his antics
-Shiraishi: His endings were hilarious and he made LC great

Konata and Kagami - The single best stereotyping comedic duo I have ever seen, period. One is a tried and true tsundere, and the other a wholly new species: A character specifically made for otakus and for no other reason.
Kagami - Realistic tsundere the way the word should have meant for. For everyone looking for a definition of tsundere, Kagami's your new poster girl.
Konata - the perfect parody of otakuism...all in one small package. Come on...she radiates otaku and probably doesn't weigh more than 100 pounds. She's also terrifyingly insensitive and secretly insightful at the same time. I think I've spent too much time thinking about how she became the way she is.
Misao - She may have came late, but she's a real submarine hit when it comes to voice acting. We heard far too little of her playfully fanged voice.
Minami - This might actually be character development: she grew gradually more open as the third year episodes went by, and in the end her behavior was somewhere between Miyuki and Tsukasa. She's also, for better or for worse, pure fanwork plot bait.

I tried to keep my votes to a minimum. Still ended up with 5.
Kagamin: My favorite from the beginning. I have a thing for the sarcastic straight-man. Her reactions to Konata's silly antics are what make the jokes fly. Great tsundere moments. The twintails are a great look on her. And her expression when she picked up the yaoi manga in the comiket episode was 250% win by volume.
Shiraishi: An amicable character who ends up in the worst positions, like sitting next to Akira-sama on a television set. Something about good people getting the punishment they deserve makes me warm and fuzzy inside.
Misao: Oh Em Gee. I love her voice. To call it a laugh riot doesn't do it justice. She'd be my #1 if she had more screen time.
Patricia Martin: Reminds me of myself all too much. So easy to relate to that I can't help but like her. Incredibly cute voice.
Tamura Hiyori: If Yuu-chan knew half the things that went through Tamura's head, she'd be terrified. If she knew all of them, she'd call the cops. The way she catches herself in the middle of her yuri fantasies never fails to make me laugh.

A poll for an ensemble cast like this is a bit wierd... its like asking which pieces you like best out of a 20 piece jigsaw puzzle.
Ah well.... I went with:
Kagamin --- because I just had to.
Misao --- surprise characterization and voice acting of the series for me. o my god that voice!
Tsukasa --- for cellphones, balsamic vinegar, seashells, and mayo.
Konata --- because every Kagamin needs a Konata, otherwise the comedy duo can't happen.
and lastly, Nanako --- because that is one damn fine bit of cake... dammit.

I was ready to vote every single one of them..
Konata --- Because i had to~
Tsukasa --- Cute as a button, made me laugh oh so many times
Nanako --- She deserves more love, a teacher who'd hang out with you.. and oh my that laugh.
Misao --- Quite possibly the best character in the series.
I was going to vote Kanata, though i only let myself choose four --- she's lovely, and was in one of the best moments in the series, though i wouldn't feel right leaving out of the my four chosen who truly deserve to be on my list.

I am actually at a loss on how to explain the reasons on why I consider Kagami to be my favourite character in this show. Tsunderes are not typically my type of "moe" if one was to examine the anime I have watched thus far.Misao
Her voice is criminally cute.Nanako
Epic comedic scenes... at her expense.Anime Tencho
Yes... I am actually one of them who likes his presence in the show.~~~~ ~~~~

Kagami - well, it's hard to tell why, but IMO it's the best LS character (wah! Another diet!)
Shiraishi - without him LC will be piece of **** (Viva 21 ep). Akira is too creepy for me...
Anime Tenchou - funny drawing style, and that passion, when "Legendary girl A" is going to buy something.

I only voted for five, but I would have voted for all of them if that wasn't so pointless.
Tsukasa- she was my favourite in the first half of the series, and I still love her. She's so cute and moe~!
Misao- my favourite character now. I love her voice, and I love her personality.
Yui- I love how she acts exactly the opposite of how I think she should act as a cop and older guardian.
Hiyori- loves drawing and YURI~ <3 Her expressions are always cute too.
Matsuri- I don't know why I voted for her, I guess it was episode 17. I really like how she is with Kagami.

Soujirou - Even if he refers himself as a 'failure', never ever underestimate how great he is!
He raised Konata mostly by himself alone, is a skilled writer who can make enough money to live happily, is as knowledgeable as Miyuki at the very least, and is a good-hearted, modest, and really strong and truthful person, with a little bit of twist.
Konata - The divine yet cursed avatar of all that otaku!
Kuroi-sensei - A great teacher, or, more than that, an excellent person.
It seems she's too good to have her own happiness, though...
Miyuki - She's cute, attracting, thoughtful, kind, and 'useful'. She is all what others think of her. And thus, she's the one who is never really understood. Sad thing, but this is so real.
If Konata or someone else could steal her lines, she would have looked more interesting...
Kagami - The ideal tsundere and even more than that. I don't like 'tsundere' characters basically, but I think I can tell how she developed her personality...
Also I think her name really fits her character.
Hiyori - Utter otaku without a partner like Kagami but her own better self.
I sometimes feel sorry for her but it's so hilarious.
Ayano - Misao's 'better half'. I also believe she is very unique and interesting,
yet the sole mysterious person in the series.
And I didn't check Minoru: I think he's a bit overrated.
Not that I hate him, but Lucky Star is not supposed to be his story!

No matter how optimistic you are about the stock market, there's one thing you should always remember: Investing in stocks is a loser's game.
He said it, not me!
At least, that's what investment pioneer Charles D. Ellis called it in his classic 1975 article, "The Loser's Game." In the prize-winning piece, Ellis compared stock market investing to a game of tennis played between two amateurs.
Why amateurs? Because as opposed to professional tennis matches, which are marked by few mistakes (a "winner's game"), amateur matches are filled almost entirely with unforced errors (a "loser's game"). Therefore, the best strategy for an amateur to take is to, well, not try so hard! Amateurs should simply focus on getting the ball inbounds and letting their opponents beat themselves.
In other words, the key to a loser's game is to avoid mistakes at all costs ... just as with investing.
Double-faulting funds
It's no secret that beating the market is incredibly tough. Anywhere between 75% and 90% of mutual funds underperform the S&P 500 -- a fact that we Fools aren't shy to point out. That exact type of evidence, according to Ellis, makes investing a perfect example of a loser's game.
Institutions -- with their armies of analysts and their hyperdiversification across hundreds of stocks -- have essentially become the market. The competition has grown so large, the playing field so even, that it's extremely tough to pull off brilliant investment "shots" with any regularity. I mean, is it really possible to have useful insights into Bank of America
When you consider the incredible degree of difficulty in trying to "out-trade" Wall Street, one thing becomes painfully clear: Most of us aren't good enough to overcome such huge odds.
The best thing to do? Stay passive, buy an index fund, and avoid mistakes. Just like a loser's game should be played. Unless, of course, you really want to be a winner.
Caution: For dedicated investors only
Though the evidence suggests that beating the market is improbable, that doesn't necessarily make it impossible. Luckily, for those who are absolutely bent on beating the market (like most of us here at Fooldom), Ellis suggests a couple of tips to consider.
Tip 1: Play your own game
Great investors always look for an edge. In other words, market-trouncing masters tend to invest only when their knowledge of a given business is superior to that of the vast majority of investors.
Of course, no one exemplifies discipline and staying within one's "circle of competence" like Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. By pouncing on easy-to-understand businesses such as Coca-Cola
"How do you beat Bobby Fischer?" Buffett once asked. "You play him at any game but chess."
Tip 2: Keep it simple
Next, Ellis suggests that investors deliberately bring turnover down to make better, more focused decisions. Everything counts. And if you plan to outperform over the long haul, you really can't afford to dilute your portfolio with subpar opportunities.
So instead of knowing a "little bit" about hundreds of stocks, why not increase your chances of success by knowing a few businesses cold? After all, history has proved that just a couple of bang-on insights -- like spotting Best Buy's
As Buffett says, "You only have to do a very few things right in your life, so long as you don't do too many things wrong."
Make the winning move
For most investors, setting out to thump Mr. Market will only be an uphill battle. But by strictly adhering to a couple of time-tested tips, you certainly can be a winner in this loser's game called the stock market. Of course, if you simply don't have the time to find superior investments, maybe we can help.

Report by Ben Cosgrove The national touring car scene returned to the very flat and fast technical Snetterton circuit on the 18/19th August for round 4 of the series. All cars now are limited to 10.5 motors making the on track racing very close and any small errors are punished badly. Team leader Andy Moore was on nitro racing duty in Italy and current champion Ayrton Anderson was missing due to an injury so it was left to series regulars Stefan Chodzynski, Matt Chandler and James Baker to withhold HB honour. They were joined by Ben Cosgrove making a return to the national scene after a few years away.
The weather was absolutely glorious on the Saturday and this caught us out a little bit as we had not driven in conditions like that for a number of years. The team spent Saturday practice testing springs/shock oil/additive and we were happy that we were making good progress on the balance. As qualifying came around it got even hotter so we needed to thicken up our shocks to minimise the temperature effect of thinning the oil. All the team had some great qualifying runs on Saturday with Stef leading the way on an aggressive tyre strategy that Matt would also adopt. They used all of their tyre allocation on Saturday pushing for a good grid slot and hoping they would have done enough. James ran 2 sets and Ben only used 1 set. Stef was in the top 10 overnight with Ben in 11th. James and Matt were back in the C final area. Sunday started well again for the team and we used morning practice to double check we had gone the correct way with tyre additives. We were sure we had so went into qualifying full of confidence. Ben took a second overall in the round with Stef in 4th which was a great result for the team. This made sure of Stefs A final place and Ben needed a good last run to make the final. The last round was over before it really started for Ben as he made an error on lap 1 and rolled out of the track area. After qualification was over it was Matt in the D final, James in the C final, Ben in the B final and Stef in the A final. A nice spread over the top finals and we could all watch each other's cars and cheer for each other! We had some mixed results in the finals but all the cars looked strong on track and we were very happy with the pace in the TCX cars. The HPI Flux Pro ESC work faultlessly along with the Plazma Pro battery and Flux Pro motor. We were racing in ambient temperatures of over 30 degrees Celsius and the track temps were around 50 degrees Celsius which was a real test for the electronics. Hopefully we should have a full strength team at the last round at Mendip where we will be supporting Andy to try and win the championship as he is one of 5 drivers that can still win it. Top 10 results 1 Elliott Harper 2 Olly Jefferies 3 Chris Grainger 4 Phil Chambers 5 Colin Price 6 Matthew White 7 Chris Kerswell 8 Paul Pinkney 9 Alan Bickerstaff 10 Stefan Chodzynski HB TCX Overall results can be found here

For the more information about water resources in the National Park Service, please visit https://www.nature.nps.gov/water/.
Hydrographic & Impairment Statistics
The Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics (HIS) database provides summary statistics of surface hydrography (acres of lakes, miles of streams, etc.) within and adjacent to each national park unit using the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) high resolution National Hydrography Dataset (NHD), the NPS Administrative Park Boundary Dataset, and other sources. Information regarding water impairments are supplied by state management agencies and attributed to NHD to derive impairment statistics for each national park unit. Impaired waters are identified by the State according to the federal Clean Water Act (CWA) Sections 303(d) and 305(b). Using the functionality below you can obtain an estimate of the total miles of waterway (rivers, streams, canals, etc.), acreage of waterbodies (lakes, reservoirs, ocean, etc.), number of lakes, the acreage of icemass, and much more about any national park unit or summarized across the entire National Park System. You can also see which parks contain CWA impaired hydrography, which parks have no hydrography, and which parks are 'coastal'.
*Beginning in June 2018, NPS Partnership Wild & Scenic Rivers will be gradually integrated into HIS.

Keeping Michigan on Track
A Blueprint for Governor Engler and the 90th Legislature
The close of the twentieth century finds Michigan in a position that seemed impossible
barely a decade ago: record low unemployment, a thriving economy, growing educational
opportunities, and a sense of accomplishment and high spirits. But much can be done to
make Michigan an even better place to live and work.
This report's five sections offer the Governor and the Legislature 41 specific recommendations that will strengthen property rights protection, reform labor law to protect worker rights, improve education for Michigan children, spur economic growth and development, and enhance the state's transportation infrastructure.

What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Texas Chainsaw 3D is the seventh film in the famous horror/slasher franchise that began with the 1974 drive-in classic. This one is no classic, though, like the rest of the franchise, it does have tons of blood and gore (which is intensified when seen in 3-D). Several characters are injured and/or killed in various nasty ways, body parts are severed, and heads are bashed. The female main character is treated roughly during certain scenes. Sexual content is heavily suggested but barely shown. Male and female characters are shown half-naked or in underwear (one partial breast is seen), and they're definitely thinking and talking about sex. Language is very strong, with "f--k" and "s--t" used throughout, plus one use of "c--t." Apple iPhones are used as a big part of one scene. There's some drinking and smoking, but it's not blatant, and the characters are of age. Teen gorehounds (and fans of musician Trey Songz) will likely want to check this out, but it's bound for a short shelf life.

Check out some cool Android stuff we have... More stuff coming soon.
inkedcity — Home
Here is some designs that we have on the site...
These designs may make it on shirts... the ideas were sent in by some cool forum members, Please let me know what you guys think.
Pics a little blurry... he has never worn a shirt so he would not stay still
I will have the Dog tee's on my site soon in many colors and sizes.
Heres one on the back of my N1
And the back of my Gf's Droid
Thanks for sharing... that 2 layer one looks good on there.
I been promising all kinds of stuff but we been just doing samples and will show them when we are happy with them. The embroidered stuff I will have soon, We are still messing with ideas. We want to have some cool embroidery not just regular flat embroidery. Also been talking with some friends of mine that do CNC stuff, We are going to try and do something real cool ( expensive so I been selling anything I have to come up with $$$ ) And been trying to do all kinds of work at all hrs, that's why I have not been on here that much.
The new website that is getting done is also taking some time from me doing some of the stuff I promised but it will be a cool site. But in between all that fun stuff I am messing with this
It's done using thermoflex and we are trying to do it lines up with minimum gaps.
This pic shows it zipped up
This pic the zipper is pulled down
we will mess with it until it's good
Here is a spaghetti strap shirt that the green will be thermoflex and the white will be a deco flock top layer that will give it a 3d look and feel.
And here is the one that we have on the site in green with white deco flock but this one will be black hoody and green thermoflex.
Believe me we have a bunch of stuff and new designs we have to still finish, we just got busy with our regular work and we have to spend time with that. Thanks for all the input and support I get from you guys.
Good stuff Zoiko. I think what separates you from all the other Android sticker sellers is that you do EVERYTHING! One stop shop
That vest with the zipper, as soon as it is available in white or grey, I will be buying one! I want one but hate black clothes!
I will have some in white as well... we have a few items that came in but we have not had a chance to get to them and do the printing or thermoflex.
I sent you a PM also ... thanks
Thanks... here is another item we will have soon. We are still working on it so it will be a few more days before we have it on our site. It will go on sportshirts like the Lacoste brand polo shirts as well as on some bags and other cool stuff.
It will be 1" tall so the detail is very fine and hard to do but we will work on it some more.
let me know what you think. thanks
Personnaly I've had bad result with embroidry on a t-shirt or Polo shirt.
With a very small logo it is all fine. but when it get a certain size it has a tendency to wave. So you need to iron your logo all the time, if you want a clean look. Since yours is 7/8 by an inch it will probably happen.
But on a bag or a baseball hat it would be very cool tought.
Yeah I see what you mean, but these are embroidered patches like the lacoste brand polos. They have what's called a heat seal backing and it is pressed on to the shirt or other items. I am also going to have some with 3d embroidery on hats and regular embroidery on beanies as well.
Made some adjustments to it, and I think we got it looking better this time.
I want the android polo.
cool stuff you guys have here,I'll be ordering some goodies real soon.
I will try and have them on the site soon. We have been cleaning the shop and our home after that 7.2 quake we had Sunday. And we have had a bunch of aftershocks since so not much sleep
Thanks, hopefully we have more projects done by the weekend.
We have been away the last week or so cleaning up our shop since we had that big quake but here is the new sticker that we have been working on.
They are available on our site individually And we will also include them in some packages later on.
More items coming...
For the ladies...
For Kids...
For those that asked for a white hoody...
It will be on my site later tonight.
inkedcity — Home
Polo shirts now available...
Prices range from $18.00 - $28.00
I'm still going to work on it some more... let me know what you guys think so far...
I'd like to see a android sticker with something along the lines of what was on the back of the "prototype" Nexus One's.
do u have any t-shirts in 2xl sizes?
I will work on something like that in the next couple days...
Yes we currently have the Android side outline print up to 4X in Black & white and they are the same price as the smaller sizes. We will also have Pro-Club tee shirts in tall and up to 7X sizes soon. ( those will cost a little more than our regular shirts ).
We print all our own stuff so we can pass the savings on to you guys...

Short review: I spent more time on this site than I normally would, only because I couldn't believe the wonderful presentation they were making. Each woman that I explored was just as lovely as the one before, and the quality they offer for presentation will make everyone happy. The older material doesn't always go quite as high in the video choices for quality, but it really is all good.
Content Amount: Yes, I would say this site is definitely holding its own in the amount of content they offer from this site. The picture galleries were many from the 144 models offered and the videos will take you through many hours. Updates seem to be done every 3 days.

Got a chance to spend some time with Eric Smith this week: Eaton Corp.'s chief engineer for special projects and hybrid-electric systems. Right now, he's working on the second generation of Eaton's parallel hybrid system, used on medium-duty commercial trucks right now usually in conjunction with diesel engines.
"What we're trying to do now is expand hybrid technology into other trucking applications," he told me. "That means we're not only refining the technological package as a whole to lower its cost and produce better fuel economy, but also make it a more 'multi-purpose' system, so we can use the hybrid's batteries for tasks other than just propulsion."
Smith pointed to Eaton's involvement with the HTUF hybrid truck project back in 2004 as an example of that expansion. That effort resulting in a utility bucket truck that could tap into the hybrid system's battery to run the boom lift at a work site, allowing for "engine off" operation for up to two hours at a time before the diesel motor had to fire up for five to 10 minutes to recharge the batteries.
"The biggest challenge we have with hybrids is ROI [return on investment] for fleets," Smith told me. "It's all about how we justify the extra cost of a hybrid to them. One part is fuel economy: fleets are feeling the pain of diesel fuel prices up over $3 a gallon. The other is capability; that helps expand the ROI. We're looking at putting a 110-volt generator on the truck, tapped into the hybrid batteries, providing power for a contractor's tools. Another thing we're looking it is powering refrigeration systems, to give refrigerated carriers 'engine off' capability when making deliveries."
Expanding a hybrid's capabilities drives costs savings - and that's critical to getting fleets to buy more of them. For the higher the production volumes, the lower the manufacturing costs - and thus the lower the premium for a hybrid truck, said Smith.
Eaton is also looking at other vocations where hybrid systems could play a wide role. Delivery vans and utility trucks were an obvious - and ultimately successful - market to start in. Eaton formed its hybrid power systems business unit back in 2000 and quickly landed a contract from FedEx and public interest group Environmental Defense in 2002 to build 18 hybrid step vans. That contract has grown significantly, with FedEx subsequently ordering 75 more of the E-700e hybrid vans in 2005 that will start entering its fleet by the second quarter this year.
UPS and the Department of Energy quickly followed suit in 2004 with an 18-vehicle order of their own, and those demonstration units are still going strong, with the oldest truck - now four years old - still plying hilly routes in San Francisco. UPS is also moving to beef up its hybrid fleet, with 50 more of those vans on order.
Eaton partnered with China bus maker Foton in 2006 to built hybrid transit buses - rolling 30 of them out of the factory and onto the streets of Guangzhou at the end of last year - and has entered into deals with Peterbilt, Kenworth, International, and Freightliner to build more medium-duty hybrid trucks. It also has an exclusive deal with Paccar to build Class 8 hybrids as well.
Right now, fuel economy savings and a tax credit to offset the purchase price are what's attracting fleets. While the $12,000 tax credit is universal, the fuel savings differ by vehicle type and operation, Smith stressed. For example: a hybrid medium-duty utility truck can see a fuel savings of 60% and reduced idle time of 87%, while a city delivery van posts a fuel savings of 50% and a city bus gets a fuel savings of about 20% to 30%.
In the Class 8 world, the fuel savings are trickier to achieve because of its steady-state, highway-driving environment. But with the hybrid system aiding with acceleration and on hills, while reducing idling, a fleet could save up to $9,000 in operating costs per truck per year, according to Eaton's laboratory and road tests.
"The thing is, driver habits vary so widely in the real world," he told me. "We use dyno testing in the lab to provide us consistent data in terms of what the potential fuel savings are. Then you perform field tests to see how the truck really gets used. For example, does the driver shut off the diesel engine when he or she stops to make a delivery? That really impacts the final fuel savings result you'll see."
Despite those challenges, though, Smith is confident that hybrid commercial trucks will continue to come down in cost, while returning more savings to fleets. "We're improving cost efficiency, reliability, and durability with each successive generation of hybrid system," he said. "We'll still have a lot of room to really 'tune' hybrid trucks to their particular work environment so they save fleets as much as possible across the board."

Okay I now that this is going to seem kind of strange.
My name is Doug. I am a former atheist who is now a Bible thumping Jesus Freak. I am also a former journalist and currently run a facebook community for Christians.
Tomorrow I want to start a thread called "Ask the Atheist" where believers can engage with non-believers. This is not- IS NOT- an effort to try and convert anyone. Instead it's about building a community where people can talk about issues from every different perspective. The thread will go up around 10 am EST on Facebook...
The thing is I just need one Atheist to answer the questions. I suspect they will be along the line of : did you attend church as kid, are your parents religious, when did you tell them about your doubt, how have your encounters with Christians been- do they rub you the wrong way, or they always trying shove God down your throat.
I personally only know a few members of our on line community. But all of them have been very respectful. So if you are free (can be in front of a computer) tomorrow mid morning please let me know.
Views: 1166
Yes, me to some extent, and about 1200.
I glanced at the thread.
The guy who asked the first question seems to be slowly rolling into a sermon.
"no explanation for God for me...to me he was ..is...and always will be...i walked many paths of religion and i am born again 5 yrs..." and so on.
Just from his first response it is clear he, and I don't know how many others are more than willing to settle for GODDIDIT.
If they plan to bring evidence to the conversation, I will gladly participate, but if we are going to stick to faith and feeling... no thank you.
well it looks like it was more of a flop. the questions really didn't come. But I want to than Josiah for going on the site and interacting with us
Frankly I suspect you and Josiah go back a lot further than this - I know a tag team when I see one.
Try Atheist Universe, they might be a little more gullible over there --
Isn't there an Atheist Facebook site you could link yours to, so that you can all interface in a Facebook way? (the grammar and spelling on Facebook makes me wince). If you cant find one easily, try searching for "Ifuckinglovescience" because that is certainly one of the very few Facebook pages I enjoy, and it is nice and godless.
Strega is right, "I Fucking Love Science" or "Global Secular Humanist Movement" would both provide you with a good number of atheists to talk to on Facebook.
Or you can also try "The Thinking Atheist" or the "Richard Dawkins Foundation"
There are plenty of Facebook related places you can try this on that might work better than it did here. A quick search can provide you with the info needed, but I hope the ones we posted are a good start for you.
He could create a whole new FB page, called 'Theist-Atheist Dialogues'. If they can't talk with each other directly it could be turned into Monologues. Think 'Vagina Monologues', for Theists and Atheists. LOL
Thanks for trying to build some bridges. Neat idea, I would have been interested is what the dialogue would have looked like.
Yeah it is a good idea in theory, I've just seen something like this been tried before and it didn't work out well. Hence my skepticism.
My first response was "Oh, not another. What is this? some sort of 'Ex-Atheist Of The Week'" thing?
Now I think I've figured you out. We're helping you with a term paper, right?
If you're not trying to convert us, you're not a very good Christian. Christianity is an evangelical religion. You're SUPPOSED to try to convert us!
I think BattyMan and Boobin have left the building - things didn't turn out quite like they'd hoped.
Wait, wait, which one am I?

We know what's best for you
By Thomas E. Brewton
Democrat-Socialists are prepared to force everyone to do what their academic planners think will be best for the new one-world government.
Two current examples of Democrat-Socialist dirigisme are "green" energy and nationalized healthcare.
During the presidential campaign primaries, Hillary Clinton proposed to institute a national health insurance plan that would compel every person to subscribe to it. The same sort of program already exists in socialist Massachusetts (with catastrophically bad results, per the Kaiser and Harvard Medical School studies). Many elements of those plans are incorporated into the President's budget proposal.
That budget also gives one of its largest spending increases to promoting "green" automobiles and energy production. A major obstacle is Americans' aversion to small automobiles (see " Do Americans Really Want Small Cars?").
Add to this the fact that GM and Chrysler, whom taxpayers now are supporting, can't make small cars profitably unless they can be sold in much larger volumes than small cars historically have achieved in the United States.
Democrat-Socialists are keen on "green," because it comports with President Obama's efforts to revive some version of the Kyoto Protocols. Those protocols take us onto a path that will bring all nations under regulatory control of the Brussels socialist EU commissariat (see "Senator Obama, Citizen of the World").
Which means that each of us ultimately will be told what we must buy and how much of it we will be allowed to have.
If the "green" car thrust is to succeed, Americans cannot be allowed to spend money on automobiles of their choice; that would keep sales of "green" autos unprofitably small. The new Federal auto bailout commissariat will have to tell GM and Chrysler how many autos of each type they will be allowed to produce. Buyers will not be permitted to keep old models of the large size they prefer; punitive taxes on such vehicles will drive them off the market and force consumers to buy the only autos available: less useful mini-vehicles that are more dangerous in auto crashes.
Similarly, the President's budget and his cabinet ministers point in the direction of price controls for prescription drugs and medical care, along with an ever-growing web of regulations. In effect, nationalization of the health care industry. The end point will be the same as in the UK and Canada: rationing medical care, months of waiting for special care, and stagnation of new drug research.
Underlying all such realignments of free markets into regulated, centrally-planned economies, is socialist intellectuals' conviction that they can plan economic activity more effectively than can the thousands of business managers and entrepreneurs directly on the firing line.
Free markets, socialist intellectuals tell us, waste resources that belong collectively to the government. Too many different products are now made, encouraging a wide spectrum of consumer tastes. When government regulates all production and distribution, the variety of products can be reduced, thereby saving government tax revenues. Happily for socialist academics, buyers choices can be restricted to products that planners regard as healthy and eco-friendly.
Such has been the dream of "efficiency" held forth by socialists since the earliest days of their ideological religion.

Diabetic retinopathy, novel bioactive peptides, circadian regulation of retinal physiology, signal tranduction in ion channel regulation
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of blindness among the American working population with a projected prevalence of more than 11 million patients by 2030 in the US. Once the disease starts, it cannot be stopped simply by controlling the blood glucose (glycemic) levels strictly through diets and exercise. While DR is a disorder with two major problems, the vascular complications and the neural retina degeneration, the current treatments mainly target the vascular complications without treating the neural retina. The first-line gold standard treatments for DR is regular injections with anti-VEGF agents into the eyes. However, roughly 30% of DR patients do not respond well to these treatments. Often these non-responders are identified months after the treatments have started. Therefore, discovering new ways to treat or prevent DR are a major health issue, which is also the research focus in our laboratory.
Interestingly, diabetic patients with retinitis pigmentosa, a congenital blindness with degenerated retinal photoreceptors, rarely develop DR. This suggests that the neural retina, especially the photoreceptors contribute to the development of DR. Our laboratory has been investigated the molecular mechanisms that regulate photoreceptor physiology over 13 years. More specifically, we have been investigating how metabolism and energy expenditure of photoreceptors are regulated throughout the course of 24 hours. We employ different techniques, including electroretinogram (ERG) recordings, fundus angiography, electrophysiological patch-clamp recordings, various biochemical and molecular assays, and imaging at cellular and tissue levels, and now focus on how early diabetic conditions trigger changes in photoreceptors that might lead to DR.
In addition, we have recently discovered a new bioactive peptide, peptide Lv. This peptide not only regulates photoreceptor physiology, it also modulates cardiovascular functions. We now further elucidate the molecular mechanisms of peptide Lv's bioactivities, as well as its other unknown function.
