On the issue of marriage
A lot of people seem to be raging about Ryuuji proposing to Taiga, when they're so young and still in school and it's so early in their relationship and so on.
I think there's a reasonable explanation for this. (Note that I don't know about Japanese laws, and this is just a personal impression.)
In the novels, there's a very palpable sense of urgency: Taiga's mother is actively chasing after Ryuuji/Taiga to grab her daughter and move far, far away. She drives her Porsche after them on the streets, and they run away, making sure to use narrow alleys where cars can't drive while keeping a lookout for black vehicles, and later they also hop on different trains to shake off pursuers (excessively, perhaps). Taiga's mother also visits Kitamura and asks him where she can find them.
Now, Ryuuji is a young man, a few days away from turning 18, and over the course of a year he's grown incredibly attached and fallen in love with Taiga. She's still a minor, and now her mother appears out of nowhere and wants to break them apart, ripping his loved one right out of his life. Inner monologues and various scenes with crying/screaming make it abundantly clear that Ryuuji is very upset about this.
His solution is simple: Run away for a few days until he turns 18, then marry Taiga and move in with her. "WHAT?!" go most people watching. Why get married so soon? I believe it's because at age 17, Taiga is still a minor, and under the custody of her mother, who can move her wherever she wants. However, if Ryuuji marries her (I think girls have to be 16 in Japan), he most likely becomes her "guardian" and thus gains the right to live with her, in practice freeing her from the evil mother's grasp. This allows him and Taiga to stay together, and gives Taiga the opportunity to live a life in contact with her very precious friends.
Of course it's insane, and rash, and surprising. Ami even comments on this in the book, calling it a childish plan. But remember that Ryuuji grew up with a single mother who did exactly that: she ran away from home and gave birth to her son and lived in exile from her parental home. To him it's not a crazy, impossible occurrence - instead it's exactly what he's living proof of. Taiga, on the other hand, hates her parents and has always felt utterly betrayed by them, so to her it's the only way to be close to the people she really cares about, her friends and Ryuuji.
Right, well, I guess this is where someone knowledgeable comes in and tells me I'm wrong about how marriage and custodian laws work in Japan, and then you can declare me mentally unstable.

The problem is that this isn't the book, it's the anime. This sense of urgency is not there in the anime, with the threat of Taiga's mom being downplayed and thus it appears rash for the sake of being rash.
Now, I don't have that much of an issue with the plot taking this turn to be honest, it's more that they jammed in in with so much else. But, that said, "it was better in the original work" doesn't fly here any more than it flies with Clannad or Index or what have you. My opinion is that there's ultimately too much to digest (even if the episode is still really good despite this). Evidently, what they cut out here (the kiss, this stuff with Taiga's mom) really hurts the episode more than it helps it, because it could have helped solve some of my issues with the episode but didn't for whatever reason.

You're right about being able to marry at 16, but if you're a minor you need permission from the parent/guardian.
On to this episode, hmm...there are times during this series where it's good enough that I forget JC Staff is making it. Then there are times during Toradora! where it feels really average and/or really reminds me that JC Staff is the one making it.
The episode was interesting, but it had its problems. There were some parts in this episode that I thought were pretty good though.
This is actually true and I've seen the company building.

It's like people like to have like the one face they can blame if they don't like something. With the Haruhi 2 stuff, at first it was Kyoto Animation and everyone was "grrrr Kyoto Animation", and then finally someone convinced them that it wasn't Kyoto Animation, it's Kadokawa, and so then everyone was "grrrr Kadokawa". Business politics aren't so clean-cut. There's not one single bad guy or one single person to whom all decisions must flow, really (even if there is on paper, it doesn't work that way in real life). It's a mess of contracts, and committees, and boardroom meetings, and stupid requirements imposed by people who don't know anything but somehow got into positions of power due to be related to the boss's cousin's friend. I suppose, at the end of the day, if you have to have a single person to blame, you could point to the director, but even then who knows what circumstances there were surrounding the production that were beyond his or her control. Life just isn't so simple.
And in other news...

I wonder if this means the author was unaware of the law, or if we're to interpret it as Ryuuji being unaware. Or me being an idiot.

Anyway does anyone have a good explanation as to where Yasuko went? She seems to have just disappeared into thin air. It's pretty sweet she trusts Ryuji with the house like that, but that 's not the point.

Best guess is Ryuuji isn't clear on the legal details ... we'll hope grandparents have mellowed and rethought what is more important to them.
Odd how they're adapting/handling Taiga's mom so far....

They are the production studio, they are responsible for who works on what, and are thus responsible for the quality of the product. And just like a certain level of quality can be expected from Kyoto Animation, there is a certain level of disaster that can be expected from JC Staff. They've built up their own reputation like KyoAni has. I usually dont get too concerned over animation. It would be the writers and directors that I have problems with.
For the case you mentioned where directors and writers are put in charge from the people above (funders), and it ends up turning out bad. Well, that would just kind of suck. But if its not specified in the credits that thats the case, and only names are there, then Ill assume they work for JC Staff, or were hired for this job by them. If this were to happen on a consistent basis, then maybe they should make better decisions with who they deal with for an animation production.
I realize how crazy the industry can get at times, but thats not a real excuse when quality anime is being produced elsewhere within the same industry. This isnt to say that JC Staff doesnt produce any quality anime; Im just saying they produce a lot of bad. And then what really angers people, is their trouble with sequels.
So since its easier this way, Ill just blame JC Staff and their reputation, instead of looking up each director and writer for each episode that I thought the quality dipped.
Edit: Onto Toradora! - My guess would be that Ryuji and Taiga aren't thinking about it or are just unaware of the law. There's the law that minors can't have sex but they do it anyway. Maybe a bad example, but the law doesn't always factor into one's thought process.
What I find a little odd is the focus on Ryuji turning 18. Unlike the States where you become an adult at 18 except for a few things, as far as I know turning 18 means nothing in Japan. Turning 20 is when you become an adult. I could understand the 18 bit as it correlates with him graduating High School, but that's not really factoring into his plan at all. This seems really odd to me. Maybe the author's had too much contact with the States, or maybe the rules got changed since I've been away.

Anyway... it's not that I'm really trying to single you out in particular, it's just that this argument comes up all the time, and it never really makes much sense when you dig deeper into the facts, that's all. Call it a pet peeve, I guess.

They invest little of their own money in a show, reap little of the profit (quite possibly none in the case of GENCO-produced shows like Toradora!, Zero no Tsukaima, and Nodame Cantabile), and are strongly bound to the whims of the contractors/financiers.
That's a sharp contrast from more creation/studio-oriented productions like those of BONES, Gainax, Gonzo, etc.
Now this isn't a good excuse, but the hit-or-miss track record (which characterizes the vast majority of these animation studios) shouldn't be unexpected.

Just because their engaged though doesn't necessarily mean they will immediately get married. If there really ARE laws in Japan stating anyone under 20 can't marry without parent permission, maybe their actual marriage plans were meant to happen later than sooner.

Well, regarding the production topic, we could go on and on about it, and actually I should probably create a separate thread in General if I could just come up with the right way of phrasing it -- I'll think about it. In any event, apologies for the slight tangent (though not totally unrelated to the show), and back to the main topic at hand (though I expect the main topic will remain somewhat quiet until the subs are released).

considering that ruuji's mom is 33, and ruuji is 17, this put his mom being a minor when she is having ruuji. About being underage parents in anime/manga, there are actually a few example, solid example like Cardcaptor, sakura's mother, i think in maria holic, kanako mention that her mom was underaged too when she is married.

The director/series comp for Zero no Tsukaima, Shana, ToraDora are all different, yeah ZnT 2 and 3 were bad, but that doesn't mean you can lump everything onto JC Staff.
The director for ToraDora! doesn't even work for JC Staff, he's a freelancer and the last thing he did w/ them was Honey and Clover 2
Series comp was done by the same lady that did Kodomo no Jikan/Vampire Knight (both shows are pretty well adapted from their source).
Light novels are not always easy to adapt and especially ones that rely on inner monologue as much as Toradora does - but I think they did a pretty good job with Toradora and Toaru Majutsu no Index this season, much better adaptions than ZnT and Shana atleast, but that falls squarely on the director and series composition not on JC Staff.

Over the last couple of days there has been a lot of talk about the creation of Mageia, a community fork of Mandriva. Now before I go on a disclaimer:
I'm a Mandrivaclub.nl crew member and have been for a very long time. I might not be the most active member of the crew there but I DO care about Mandriva and its community.
painful but unavoidable
So with that out of the way, let me start by saying the whole Mandriva thing is very painful and I feel sorry for the employees and the community. I know that over the last months many employees have switched to other companies (including Novell). So a restart will be difficult for the company. They intend to focus on the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) as those are a Mandriva stronghold, and I think that is a sound business decision. Not sure if it'll be enough.
Unfortunately the community has finally lost confidence in Mandriva and decided to fork - I get that. Mandriva has some awesome technology, it would be good to keep that alive. And the company has failed a few times too many now. But they face a big challenge - building a new 'home' for themselves ain't easy.
looking for help?
So I have a suggestion for them. In the spirit of our upcoming openSUSE conference with the 'collaboration across borders' theme, I invite you to collaborate with us.
What Mageia might need soonish is a place to meet. The upcoming openSUSE conference will have visitors from Debian and Fedora already, why not have a Mageia delegation there? You guys and girls can meet, talk with people from other distributions, get some ideas on what to do next and talk among yourselves in real life. The conference already starts in about 4 weeks so there is enough time to plan yet it is close enough to be useful for decision making.
Moreover, openSUSE has the Build Service which we use to build our distribution. But the build service is also used by many other communities including the Linux Foundation's Meego project. It is fully Free Software so anyone can set up their own Build Service if they want. Currently the Build Service already allows building Mandriva packages and we could support Mageia too. As a stop-gap measure, the Mageia community could build (part of) their distro on our infrastructure - and in time set up their own Build Service instance.
Maybe there is more room for collaboration. Building a distribution is NOT easy and a lot of work - it'd be cool if openSUSE and Mageia could share some resources on some of the infrastructural bits like the kernel, Xorg and other base libraries. But even without that - the Build Service is there for you.
Of course, if Mandriva manages to re-build confidence they're also more than welcome to work with us. In my opinion the recent message from the board sets the right direction from a community point of view. Just contact me or anyone else either on IRC or by mail if you want to talk!
Concluding: I'm not saying here - give up on Mandriva and join openSUSE. What I do want to offer is some help - we're all Free Software communities, we care. Let's work together a bit more!

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (March 24, 2014) – Coming off a series win over Stetson in its Atlantic Sun opener, the ETSU baseball team gears up for a pair of non-conference midweek games, beginning Tuesday evening when the Bucs host Western Carolina at Thomas Stadium.
First pitch on Tuesday has been changed to 5:05 p.m.
On Wednesday, the Bucs head over the mountain take Appalachian State at 4 p.m. at Smith Stadium.
ETSU (11-12) took two of three from Stetson in the opening weekend of conference play at Thomas Stadium.
The Bucs opened the series with a 7-4 win over the Hatters on Friday, as freshman Austin Hutchison (Jefferson County, Tenn.) tossed a complete game and Kevin Phillips (St. Louis, Mo.) drove in the game-winning runs with a two-run scoring single in the sixth inning. On Saturday, Stetson rallied to a 5-3 win in the first game of the doubleheader, but Dylan Tritsch's Boca Raton, Fla.) two-RBI single in the seventh inning put ETSU ahead for good, 4-3. Senior left-hander Clinton Freeman (Jonesborough, Tenn.) recorded his second six-out save of the week to secure the victory.
For the weekend, Phillips went 5 for 8 (.625) with one double, one home run and four RBI, while Freeman and Chris Riopedre (Miami, Fla.) both hit .417 (5-12). On Friday, Freeman registered his 200th career hit, while Riopedre notched his 100th career hit in the three-run victory.
For his career, Freeman has 203 hits, which ranks 33rd among active NCAA leaders, while his 134 RBIs is tied for 13th.
As a team, the Bucs hit .274 for the series and held the Hatters to a .238 clip, while ETSU pitchers struck out 18 hitters and walked five.
Western Carolina (13-9) opened Southern Conference play by taking two of three at Elon over the weekend.
The Catamounts dropped the opener, 5-1, on Friday night, but won 6-5 on Saturday and took the rubber match with a 9-7 win on Sunday.
As a team, Western Carolina ranks 13th nationally in home runs (19), 25th in batting average (.303) and 43rd in hits (237), while senior infielder Aaron Attaway is the active national career leader in runs scored (165) and tied for second in hits (255).
The Catamounts are the reigning Southern Conference regular season champions and were picked to defend their title in 2014.
The Bucs will start sophomore right-hander Kameron Miller (Crestview, Fla.). Miller is making his first start in 2014, but has made eight relief appearances for ETSU.
Western Carolina has yet to name a starter.
Western Carolina leads the all-time series, 62-29, but the Bucs defeated the Catamounts, 12-9, last week in Cullowhee.
The three-run victory snapped the Catamounts' 21-game home winning streak, which was the longest in the nation, while it also marked ETSU's first win against Western Carolina since May 16, 2006 – ending an eight-game losing skid. Furthermore, the win also snapped a seven-game losing streak in Cullowhee.
Matt Sorrow (Griffin, Ga.) and Tyler Roach (Knoxville, Tenn.) both belted solo home runs at Western Carolina, while Freeman went 4 for 6 with a two-run home run and four RBI. Sorrow also had three hits and drove in three runs.
The 12 runs scored by the Bucs marked a season high, while ETSU tied a season high with 14 hits.
The Mountaineers have dropped five of their last seven and sit 6-16 on the campaign.
Appalachian State lost two of three at Georgia Southern over the weekend, and play at High Point on Tuesday.
Freshman two-way player Matt Brill leads the team with a .344 average (11-32), while sophomore infielder/outfielder Dillon Dobson leads the team in hits (23), home runs (3), RBI (12), and runs scored (13).
Three of Appalachian State's six wins have come at home.
Sophomore left-hander Josh Jacques (Rollinsford, N.H.) gets the start for the Blue and Gold, while the Mountaineers haven't named their starter.
Jacques is 1-3 with a 6.14 ERA (10 ER/14.2 IP) in seven appearances (three starts) this season for ETSU.
Appalachian State leads the all-time series, 72-55, but the Bucs have won eight of the last 11 versus the Mountaineers.
The clubs split the season series last year as the Mountaineers won a suspended game, 3-1, before ETSU evened the series with a 7-6 win in Boone.
Phillips was 4 for 7 (.571) with one double and three runs scored against Appalachian State last season. Senior left-hander Jared Burton (Knoxville, Tenn.) did not allow an earned run in two appearances (3.0 IP) against the Mountaineers and earned the win.
Freeman is 6 for 13 (.462) with three doubles, three runs, and three RBI in three games against Appalachian State.
Live audio will be available for the games on Tuesday and Wednesday on WXSM-AM 640 The Extreme Sports Monster with "Voice of the Bucs" Jay Sandos handling the play-by-play.

My guilty pleasure is back … that shiny, ridiculous show where 3/4 of the actors give their lines with a sort of glassy stare. But hey, as the drama ratchets up between B and Little J, and Serena's crazy ex-best-friend stalks the unsuspecting Dan, let's take a moment to appreciate another show that keeps up with the musical times. This week's ep even featured a Vampire Weekend song, making me think that it's probably someone at Brooklynvegan that moonlights as the music editor.
So if you're dying for some Upper East Side glamour in your life, steal your friend's mom's Valentino dress and rock out to the following.

Justin Bieber already posted -- and immediately deleted -- a photo of himself with on-again-off-again flame Selena Gomez last week. But it looks like his follow-up is here to stay.
In a particularly cozy photo posted Friday to the 19-year-old singer's Instagram account, Bieber sits at his laptop while Gomez hugs him from behind and mugs for the camera.
"'You've been makin music for too long babe come cuddle' -her" Bieber captioned the photo.
Gomez is said to have joined the Biebs for his tour stop in Oslo, Norway last week.

Hendrick Recovering Following Plane Crash
Championship NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick and his wife are recovering at home in Charlotte after each suffered minor injuries Monday night when the small jet carrying them to Key West, Fla., lost its brakes and crash landed at the island's airport.
Officials on the scene told the Associated Press that the Gulfstream 150 ran off the runway at Key West International Airport Monday at 7:45 p.m., and that Rick and Linda Hendrick, as well as a pilot and co-pilot, were taken to Lower Keys Medical Center. Hendrick suffered a broken rib and clavicle, and Linda was treated for minor cuts and bruises, according to Hendrick Motorsports. The pilots were evaluated and released without injury, and all four have returned to North Carolina.
The plane was registered to five-time Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson, one of four Hendrick Motorsports drivers. Johnson said Tuesday that the aircraft operates out of Hendrick as part of a joint operating agreement. The plane, which remains in Key West, is capable of seating up to eight or nine people.
"It really shakes you down to the core," Johnson said. "I'm just so thankful that Rick and Linda and the pilots are home in Charlotte, and not badly injured, and everybody's going to be OK. But it certainly gets your attention."
The crash comes seven years and two weeks after a Hendrick plane carrying 10 people veered off course in foggy conditions and crashed en route to a race in Martinsville, Va. Hendrick's son Ricky, his brother and team president John, two of Hendrick's nieces and chief engine builder Randy Dorton were among those lost in the 2004 accident.
Monday, the Gulfstream's pilot and co-pilot radioed that the aircraft had no brakes upon landing in Key West, the Monroe County Sheriff's Department told the AP. The plane ran off the runway, and then 100 feet beyond into a 600-foot safety area that was completed in May, county airport director Peter Horton told the AP.
"If we hadn't done that, it likely would have been a different story," Horton said.
Johnson was relieved. "I'm so thankful it turned out the way it did," he said. "It certainly was a scary event, I can only imagine. But everything did its job, and as time goes on we'll learn a lot more about the details and what happened down there."
Johnson said he spoke briefly with Hendrick on Tuesday morning.
"It's been a long night for him. He's trying to get some rest," Johnson said. "We just touched base, and I know he's OK. It's just nice to hear his voice and to hear him say he's fine and OK, and Linda is as well along with the pilots. That's really just the short, brief thing along those lines, and that was it."
The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the accident. Tuesday, Johnson was still unsure of many details.
"There are a lot of really good, smart people working on getting answers to these questions so we can all understand what exactly took place," he said. "As we all understand, there was a brake issue with the plane landing, all four on board are OK and home back in Charlotte. I'm thankful everything turned out well with the crash, and there weren't any major injuries down there. Certainly a crazy evening for everybody involved, and I'm just thankful everybody is OK."

LAS VEGAS – They're the store brand here at the Summer League, to the point that you half-expect to see a bar code on the backs of their jerseys rather than traditional numbers. The D-League Select squad participating against the 21 NBA teams that sent rosters full of young and hopeful players to the desert is the Acme soup or Brand X cereal that allegedly tastes just like the highly marketed, big-label products, only without the big-label price.
No nickname. Just a generic logo from the NBA's minor league on their shirts. And unmistakable chips on their shoulders.
Compared to other teams' coaches and even players who have been grumbling about the new tournament format in the Las Vegas Summer League extending their stays and messing with offseason plans, the guys on the D-League Select team are grateful. Grateful for the chance to keep on playing, to keep on winning, to keep on attracting eyeballs.
The 14 teams on Friday's scheduled of seven games were essentially done – they had dropped into the "consolation round" in the tournament format and, once they completed their fifth and final Vegas game, they were gone. But the D-Leaguers were 4-0 and still plugging, pitted against Charlotte in a quarterfinals game Saturday evening.
So yes, on Friday morning, they were practicing. Other quarterfinals clubs may have been cheerily wishing each other "Bad luck!" – with each loss came a ticket home – but these guys were hoping to stretch their stay through Monday's championship game.
"We're playing to win, whereas the NBA teams, it's more about their one or two draft picks and their young guys," said Alex Jensen, the D-League's Coach of the Year in 2013 with the Canton Charge who is overseeing the summer squad. "Really, you can't blame them.
"But I told [our players], 'The best thing that can happen for all you guys is for us to win. Because then people will take notice that 'You're just as good as guys on any team that we will play. Believe me, it's the truth.' "
Jensen is living the dream that his players still are pursuing; he has joined the Utah Jazz staff as director of player development for 2013-14. Few if any of the guys he is coaching have deals for next season anywhere.
"I just hope I get a job somewhere. Either it's cross-seas or getting invited to training camp or hopefully be with an NBA team," said forward Darnell Jackson, who played for the Reno Bighorns after stints with Cleveland (2008, 2009), Milwaukee (2010) and Sacramento (2012). He also has played in China and the Ukraine.
"If not, I'm just blessed to be in the situation I'm in now," said Jackson, a second-round pick by Miami in 2008 after playing four years (with one NCAA title) at Kansas. "I just guess those guys who are saying they're ready to go home are having a bad experience.
"With us, we're all here trying to prove ourselves to the coaches and the NBA teams that we're willing to be here and to keep working. And we're having fun at the same time. We're winning games, we're playing hard together. We're gonna keep pushing."
Dominique Sutton, a 6-foot-5 wing player from North Carolina Central, averaged 10.2 points for the Tulsa 66ers last season and won the Slam Dunk contest at the D-League Showcase.
"We all had a goal at the beginning to try to surprise people, take people by storm," Sutton said. "A lot of people look at the front of our jerseys and see 'D-League Select' and think we're a bunch of guys that really don't know the game. 'It's the D-League, they're not playing for an NBA team.' So we come in with a chip on our shoulders, man. We feel, just play harder and we'll come up a success."
In their four games, the D-Leaguers have outscored their foes by an average of 5.8 points, while outshooting and outrebounding them too. Stefhon Hannah, a 6-foot-1 guard from Missouri, the Santa Cruz Warriors and assorted teams in Europe, Asia and South America, was their leading scorer (14.8 ppg), and 6-foot-6 guard Elijah Millsap was next at 14.3.
Millsap is familiar – thanks to his brother Paul, the former Jazz and now Hawks forward – with what life in the NBA is like. But guard Kyle Weaver is one of the D-Leaguers who actually knows, having played 73 games in three seasons with Oklahoma City and Utah. He played in Belgium and Germany, too, and was with the D-League's Austin Toros last season before being traded to Canton in February.
"A lot of guys are curious to try to get up there," Weaver said after practice Friday. "That's why you can see on the court how we're playing. Guys are scrapping, guys just want to get that opportunity. Grinding with these guys has been good. It's definitely worth it."
So the D-League Select team keeps grinding toward the Summer League championship. It's a crown mostly scoffed at by the established NBA teams but something the D-Leaguers are happy to chase, because it keeps them playing. The auditions aren't over.

Happiness comes from the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life...

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see. ~Henry David Thoreau
My folk art primitive dolls have been inspired by the Colonial American days. The doll-making process takes from several hours to a number of days. Simple, original designs are combined with colorful fabrics and buttons to create a one-of-a-kind piece that will not be reproduced. The dolls are made by hand-drawing directly onto muslin, which is then stained with vanilla and coffee, baked, and sanded for added vintage charm. They are then finished with lots of hand-stitching for homespun warmth and heirloom quality. Please consider that these artist dolls are not intended for young children. Dust them with a dry, soft cloth as needed.

Ever since Oracle acquired Sun last year (it went official early this year), there's been uncertainty about the future of Solaris, more specifically, about OpenSolaris. Oracle's John Fowler, Oracle's executive vice president of systems, spoke with InternetNews.com about the future of Solaris, and it doesn't look for the open source aspect of it all.
"We have a large new version of Solaris coming out in 2011 called Solaris 11," Fowler said, "You'll see us really building on the gold standard capabilities that are in Solaris today with significant enhancements in virtually every aspect of the system."
What can we expect from Solaris 11? Well, it's planned for the second half of 2011, and will see major changes all across the system, such as upgrades to "networking stacks, threading, file systems, package management and maintenance". In addition, a lot of work will be put into scalability to get Solaris 11 ready for a new generation of hardware Oracle is developing.
While all this development is going on, the OpenSolaris community hasn't been sitting idly by. They are afraid that the lack of communication out of Oracle means OpenSolaris is pretty much a dead end, and as such, they started the Illumos project - while not a fork just yet, it will make it easier to create a fork of OpenSolaris if necessary. Well, what Fowler had to say about OpenSolaris and the open source community didn't exactly make my unicorn's horn glow, so that fork might be right around the corner.
"We're really getting our grip around building a mission critical operating system that includes technologies from openSolaris that we've been working on for some time as well as technologies that we've more recently developed," Fowler said, "Solaris 11 will be a superset of what is in openSolaris."
Simon Phipps, former Chief Open Source Officer at Sun and currently a member of the OpenSolaris Governing Board isn't particularly hopeful about the future after reading Fowler's interview. On Twitter he wrote that "Oracle apparently confirms it is no longer developing Solaris as open source", in reference to this interview.
It would appear to be the case that Oracle is developing stuff for Solaris 11 that will not become available as open source (the "superset" thing), and while that indeed is a bad thing for the OpenSolaris community, I don't think Oracle's professional, corporate customers will really care.

Palo Santo Smudge Stick Bundle
Wood Palo Santo Smudge Sticks or "Holy Wood" have been used for centuries by indigenous Amazonians and Incas as a spiritual remedy for purifying, cleansing, and warding off evil spirits. The refreshing scent will freshen up your home with a slightly sweet fragrance that is beneficial for hangovers, headaches, to ward off mosquitos, or help with colds, asthma and arthritis. Palo Santo wood is harvested by natives of the Peruvian jungle from fallen twigs and branches under strict government supervision. Unlike traditional incense sticks, the little logs burn slowly, allowing them to be used many times. Bundle includes 4-5 sticks.

**Never leave burning or smoldering things unattended. Always rest on a fire proof tray (like this one) and keep away from other flammable things.

Fender Mustang
About Fender Mustang
The phrase Fender Mustang can refer to either the student-oriented short-scale Fender Mustang guitars or to line of Fender Mustang amplifiers. While the Fender Mustang guitar model has its roots in Fender's early history, the Fender Mustang amp line represents the company's drive to innovate and remain relevant well into the future.
The first Fender Mustang bolted off the assembly line in 1964, not long after the first Ford Mustang was produced. Ever since, it has been captivating players looking for something a little different. The Fender Mustang guitar was originally intended as an upgrade to Fender's student models, the Musicmaster and Duo-Sonic, which at the time represented a fairly large portion of their guitar sales. It had several unusual features, starting with a rather unique switching and wiring set-up, with a separate on/off/phase reversing slider for each of the two angled pickups, without a dedicated pickup selector. The Fender Mustang guitar also featured a rather unique tremolo/vibrato, or whammy bar bridge system, which is more direct than the usual Fender spring-loaded type typically found on Stratocasters. As a student model, it was originally offered with either a 3/4-size, 22.5-inch scale length neck, or a 24-inch scale length, as opposed to the 25.5-inch scale length found on the Telecaster and Stratocaster models, but the 24" was far more popular. The body featured an offset waist, thought to make it easier to play when seated. The guitar soon found favor with the surf and instrumental bands of the day, and has since become popular with players as diverse as Kurt Cobain, David Byrne, and Thurston Moore. Today, Fender offers several Kurt Cobain signature models, a period-correct '65 reissue, and a Pawn Shop model, loaded with dual humbucking pickups in place of the single coils.
Fender Mustang amplifiers include the Fender Mustang GT 40, Fender Mustang GT 100 and Fender Mustang GT 200. The 40-watt Fender Mustang GT 40 amplifier is 40 watts and has two 6.5-inch speakers. The Fender Mustang GT 100 amplifier is 100 watts and one 12-inch speaker. Finally, the Fender Mustang GT 200 amplifier is 200 watts and has two 12-inch speakers. Fender Mustang GT amps are loaded with modern features like built-in amp and effects modeling, USB connectivity, and Fender's FUSE software, for editing, storing and swapping your effects and presets through your computer.
Discontinued Fender Mustang amplifier models include the Fender Mustang Mini, a battery-powered portable 7-watt amp with a 6.5-inch speaker. They also include the Fender Mustang I, II, III and IV combo amps and the Fender Mustang V 150-watt amplifier head with a matching 4x12 cabinet. The discontinued Fender Mustang Floor is a multi-effects pedalboard based on the amp models. The Fender Mustang I pushes 20 watts through an 8-inch speaker, while the Fender Mustang II pushes 40 watts through a 12" speaker. The Fender Mustang III is a 100-watt open-back combo with a 12" Celestion, and the Fender Mustang IV rocks 150 watts through dual 12" Celestion speakers. Highly versatile, these ponies rock hard right out of the gate, or connect to your computer and use the free FUSE software to store and edit your presets and effects, and even swap them with others in the Fender community. Whether you're saddling up the guitar or the amps, you've got another winner from Fender. Grab a matching set of Fender Mustangs and hold on to the reins!

Release Date: March 21, 2013
BUFFALO, N.Y. — The University at Buffalo will honor some of Western New York's most inventive minds and companies at the annual UB Inventors and Entrepreneurs Reception, which takes place on March 25 at UB's Clinical and Translational Research Center.
Award recipients will include UB faculty inventors who created technologies like a skills trainer for robotic surgery, or who discovered and developed health care breakthroughs like a peptide from spider venom that could one day help children with muscular dystrophy live longer.
Of particular note, former UB postdoctoral researcher Laurent Levy will receive the UB Entrepreneurship Award for founding Nanobiotix, a Paris, France-based nanomedicine company that licenses UB technology and raised more than $18 million in an initial public offering (IPO) last fall.
Media are welcome to attend this invitation-only event. To make arrangements, please contact Charlotte Hsu at 716-645-4655 or email@example.com.
What: Annual UB Inventors and Entrepreneurs Reception
When: 4 to 6 p.m. on Monday, March 25. (Formal program begins at 4:30 p.m.)
Where: Fifth floor, UB Clinical and Translational Research Center, 875 Ellicott St., Buffalo. This is the first time the annual reception will take place in this new downtown facility.
Opening Remarks: UB President Satish K. Tripathi; UB Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs Charles F. Zukoski; and UB Vice Provost Robert J. Genco, who oversees UB's Office of Science, Technology Transfer and Economic Outreach, which helps UB inventors commercialize their discoveries.
Closing Remarks: UB Vice President for Research and Economic Development Alexander N. Cartwright.
Why: This event recognizes thinkers and entrepreneurs who are helping to build Western New York's high-tech economy. The program, including a list of honorees, is available at http://bit.ly/1639i05. Those recognized will include:
— 10 teams of UB researchers named on U.S. patents issued in 2012.
— Nine teams of visionary innovators who developed technologies UB licensed to industrial partners in 2012.
— Companies that joined or graduated from UB's business incubator program in 2012.
— SUNY Distinguished Professor Vladimir Mitin, Department of Electrical Engineering, who will receive the UB Entrepreneurial Spirit Award, given each year to faculty members who found startups. Mitin is founder of OptoElectronics Nanodevices, which develops and commercializes novel optoelectronic nanomaterials to enhance the efficiency of devices such as solar cells and photodetectors.
— Former UB postdoctoral researcher Laurent Levy, who founded French nanomedicine company Nanobiotix and will receive the UB Entrepreneurship Award.
While working in UB's Institute for Lasers, Photonics and Biophotonics in the 1990s, Levy partnered with UB and Roswell Park Cancer Institute colleagues to create two nanomedicine technologies: magnetic nanoparticles for treatment and diagnosis of cancer (nanoMag), and laser-activated nanoparticles for cancer treatment (nanoPDT).
Levy then went on to found Nanobiotix, which was incorporated in Paris in 2003 and has been primarily funded by European venture capital firms. Nanobiotix was listed on the NYSE Euronext market last fall following an IPO that raised gross proceeds of more than $18 million (14.2 million euros). Since its creation, total financing of the company is about 40 million euros. The company's licensing agreement for nanoMag and nanoPDT has brought UB revenues including royalties that the university uses to enhance its research programs.
On Tuesday, March 26, in a separate event, Levy will speak to students in UB's Entrepreneurship Academy about the founding of Nanobiotix. His talk, which is free and open to the public, will explain what Nanobiotix is and tell the story behind its success: What was done well, what was done wrong, and what was unexpected and fun along the way. For details on Levy's talk, visit http://academies.buffalo.edu/news/index.php.

|Home >> Ask Olympus: What is MY MODE?
What is MY MODE?
MY MODE allows you to setup your camera with a specific series of settings and then save them so they can be applied using the Fn (Function) button for specific shots on the fly without having to go through the menu to set the camera up. Refer to your camera's manual for the procedure for assigning a function to the Fn button. Once assigned, press and hold the Fn button to activate the MY MODE setting. When the button is release the camera will revert to the previous settings.
The location of the MY MODE function in the camera menus varies by model, but you can find the MY MODE SETUP process outlined in the manual for your respective camera. Not all menu functions can be registered in MY MODE. There is a table in the back pages of the camera manual showing functions that can be registered with MY MODE and CUSTOM RESET SETTING.
CUSTOM RESET SETTING returns the camera to the factory default settings at its most basic application which is RESET. There are also RESET 1 and RESET 2 options that allow you to select which settings you want to reset instead of the full factory reset. The camera must be in the P, A, S or M modes to perform a reset.

North Korea says it is in a 'state of war' with South Korea in latest threat against rival
SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea says it has entered 'a state of war' with South Korea in the latest of a string of threats that have raised tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
A statement Saturday by Pyongyang said all matters between the sides will be dealt with in a manner befitting war.
Earlier this week, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered his troops to be on a high alert in response to annual U.S-South Korean drills. He warned his forces were ready "to settle accounts with the U.S." after two American B-2 bombers flew a training mission in South Korea.
South Korea says the latest threat is a follow-up to Kim's order.
Analysts say a full-scale conflict is suicidal for Pyongyang and the threats are aimed at drawing Washington into talks.

Dozens of people have been killed in air strikes on the northern Syrian city of Aleppo, a monitoring group said on Monday, including at least 29 people in a single neighborhood, Reuters reported.
Also on Monday, state news agency SANA said two people were killed when mortars struck central Damascus.
The opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said air strikes killed 29 people on Sunday, including women and children, in the southern Al-Ferdous district of Aleppo, a city that was once Syria's largest and a major commercial hub.
Another 14 people were killed in the Baeedeen neighborhood in "barrel bomb" attacks - strikes in which helicopters drop highly destructive improvised explosives - the group said. A further five died in barrel bomb attacks in the village of Tlajabin, it added.
Western powers have condemned the use of barrel bombs as a war crime, but they continue to fall nearly every day in Aleppo and other parts of Syria.
SANA said two people were killed in Damascus when mortars fired by "terrorists" - its term for rebel fighters - hit the Al-Salihiya neighborhood of the capital and a nearby area.
More than 150,000 people have been killed in Syria's conflict, which started as a peaceful protest movement against President Bashar al-Assad's rule in March 2011 and turned into civil war after a government crackdown.

Information regarding falconry and falconry regulations in Utah
Raptors can be housed and properly cared for in a variety of enclosures. Building a solid wood mew is not the only alternative. The following are general descriptions of adequate facilities; final judgments rest with those conducting inspections.
Walls: Wall can be wood or fiberglass. If chain link is used, it should be covered entirely with wood lath, fiberglass screening, netting, etc. Take care not to leave nails, screws, wood splinters, etc., exposed. Partially bury walls or lay chicken wire horizontally along the exterior base of the wall to prevent predator (wild and domestic) digging.
Windows: Use vertical lathing or dowels (mounted on the inside). Chicken wire is unacceptable.
Flooring: Wood shavings (not sawdust). Natural flooring may be used (dirt, sand, etc.) , but it must be periodically turned and disinfected. Pea gravel also works. Concrete will suffice, but it is hard on feet and talons. Concrete also tends to stay damp when washed down.
Perches: Provide one or more at different heights, with one by a window. Use wood dowelings, platforms and or block perches that are covered with artificial turf, hemp rope or indooor/outdoor carpeting. Also use covered bow, block and/or ring perches depending on the species held.
A double-door system works great, but not required. A key lock or combination lock is also recommended.
Suggested minimum mew dimensions
These suggestion are for one bird only. Double the dimensions for two birds, and add a solid wall to separate.

When I was 12 years old my mother was diagnosed with cancer. Doctors told us early treatment would give her the best chance of survival, so we rushed her into radiation treatment and hoped for the best. Treatment was a success! Relieved and expecting a steady recovery, nothing could have prepared us for what happened next. Instead of my sister and I getting our mother back and my father witnessing the triumphant return of his wife, we were forced to watch her suffer horrific side effects for over six months only to be told the cancer had spread to her liver. The doctors then administered Chemotherapy and a couple agonizing months later, my mother died and my family and I were left confused, angry, alone and with a big bill to pay.
Since then I have made a promise to her in my heart that I would find the cause and cure for cancer so that no child would have to to go through what I did, ever again… This book is my promise.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — President Barack Obama on Sunday visited with grieving family members and attended a vigil in Newtown, Conn., in the wake of one of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history.
Twenty-six people were shot dead on Friday — 20 of them children six to seven years old — at Sandy Hook Elementary School. The killer, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, later killed himself.
The horrifying massacre has raised anew questions about whether the U.S. should take additional steps to try to restrict ownership of firearms. National polls have consistently shown lackluster support for tougher laws.
Obama attended a public vigil in Newtown on Sunday evening to pray for the victims and said that he would use every power in an effort to prevent more tragedy.
The president, a supporter of stronger gun-control measures in the past, said on Friday the country should "take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this regardless of the politics." He has not clarified what he meant.
Connecticut has some of the strictest gun-control laws in the nation.
The two pistols and a rifle used in a shooting were legally owned by Lanza's mother Nancy, 52, an avid shooter, according to reports. She reportedly taught her son to shoot and regularly took him to shooting ranges. Read about Nancy Lanza's history.
Lanza killed his mother before going on his shooting spree at the nearby school. Several days before the attack, he reportedly tried to buy a weapon of his own but was rebuffed. Read about Lanza'a attempt to buy rifle.
Authorities are still unclear as to the motive. Lanza reportedly suffered from some kind of personality disorder. Some friends and relatives have described him as shy and withdrawn.
The death toll in Newtown, a well-to-do suburb 75 miles from New York City, is the second highest in U.S. history. A shooting spree at Virginia Tech in 2007 resulted in 32 deaths. See earlier coverage of shooting.
The father of the shooter, Peter Lanza, issued a statement Saturday expressing sorrow for the victims.
"Our family is grieving along with all those who have been affected by this enormous tragedy. No words can truly express how heartbroken we are. We are in a state of disbelief and trying to find whatever answers we can," the statement read.
Peter Lanza and his wife divorced several years ago and lived separately.

Playing dance-oriented music with the feel of indie pop but the insistent pulse of disco, Friendly Fires hail from St. Albans in Hertfordshire, England. Featuring Ed Macfarlane on vocals and keyboards, Edd Gibson on guitar, and Jack Savidge on drums, all three members of Friendly Fires were in their early twenties when they began making a splash on the U.K. music scene in 2006. After winning a following for their live work, they released their debut recording, an EP titled Photobooth, through the independent People in the Sky label near the end of 2006. The initial limited-edition pressing soon sold out, and demand for the record prompted a re-press by the time their second EP, Cross the Line, appeared in the summer of 2007.
The acclaimed indie label Moshi Moshi Records picked up Friendly Fires for their third release, the single "Paris" issued on October 12, 2007. Thanks to a stylish video directed by Price James and a number of enthusiastic reviews, "Paris" became a hit, and the band landed a high-profile touring slot opening for Interpol on their U.K. tour. XL Recordings, one of England's biggest and most influential independent labels, signed the group to a recording contract; while working on their debut album, the band played New Musical Express' 2008 New Noise Tour. Friendly Fires arrived later that year, spawning the singles Skeleton Boy and Jump in the Pool. The band recruited producer Paul Epworth for their second album, 2011's Pala, which brought a newfound size and polish to their sound.
2018 sees them return to some of the UK's most popular small to medium sized festivals.

Media Room In Search of Some Action
That is, if by "action" I really meant "trademark violation lawsuit." Here's a weekend WTF for your enjoyment, thanks to Burbed reader James M.
Here's what James has to say about this photo:
Here's a great shot of a "media room" from a 6000+ sq ft Toll Bros monstrosity in San Ramon… Perfect for that tech baron in all of us! That little TV looks pathetic…
Alas, according to Redfin, this listing was removed this past Thursday. It was still on Trulia, though.
This is an Open Thread. Let us know about the Open House action you saw this weekend, and how the big the flat-screen TVs are now that rents are going up again.

Philippines IP Office: Anti-Counterfeiting Meeting Isn't About Kowtowing To Corporate Interests... Except That It Is
from the that's-a-denial? dept
Over the weekend, however, Cory Doctorow called WIPO out on this meeting, noting that it wasn't even on WIPO's website, and appeared to go against WIPO's own agenda concerning recognizing the "broader societal interests." This resulted in WIPO giving a weak defense of the event -- while also distancing itself from the event (saying it was only part of the first two days -- and the rest were from the Philippines government).
That, in turn, resulted in this somewhat hilarious attempt at a defense of the event from the Philippines IP Office. The IP Office first denies that this is a one-sided event designed to help big sponsoring companies... and then goes on to admit that's exactly what it was about in the very next sentence:
"Strictly speaking, the workshops sponsored by these corporations will, of course, teach our law enforcement officers how to act in the interest of those business entities," observed Ricardo R. Blancaflor, Director General of Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL). "However, it is also true that these brands are the most pirated in the country. They have lost a lot of profits due to piracy."That's very convincing.

GREER — The family of Army Sgt. Channing "Bo" Hicks, who was killed last week in Afghanistan, is numb. Bo's father, Chan Hicks Sr., can barely speak, and his sister Brinna's eyes fill with tears as her uncle Dennis talks about Bo's Army service.
GREER — The family of Army Sgt. Channing "Bo" Hicks, who was killed last week in Afghanistan, is numb. Bo's father, Chan Hicks Sr., can barely speak, and his sister Brinna's eyes fill with tears as her uncle Dennis talks about Bo's Army service.
Bo's great-grandmother, Faye, and grandmother, Kaye, sit quietly in Kaye's living room as somber visitors come and go to give their condolences. Around the room are photos of Bo, as a young football player, in a tuxedo and in his fatigues.
Bo Hicks, 24, and Spc. Joseph A. Richardson of Booneville, Ark., 23, died Friday in Paktika province. The soldiers were assigned to the 1st Battalion, 28th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, at Fort Riley, Kan.
Department of Defense officials said the men died from injuries they suffered when enemy forces attacked their unit with an improvised explosive device and small arms fire.
"They were in a very hostile place this time," Dennis Hicks said of Bo's most recent deployment, which began in May. He had also served two tours in Iraq, and he decided to re-enlist and deploy again to provide for his children, Wesley, 6, and Delilah, 7. He was set to come home in February.
As he talks, Dennis holds a framed photo of his nephew and a small American flag patch that fell off his uniform during one of his trips home.
"He volunteered to go again," Dennis said. "His dad asked him why. And he told his dad, 'If I don't do it, who will?' I wish he didn't have that much courage, because maybe we'd still have him here."
Bo knew from age 13 that he'd join the Army. Right after his graduation from Greer High School in 2006, while other grads headed to Myrtle Beach, Bo was thinking about boot camp. He left for basic training eight days after graduation.
Dennis, who served in the U.S. Air Force, told Bo to consider the Air Force instead.
"I told him, 'If you're a Marine or in the Army, you're going to fight,' " Dennis said. "And he said, 'I'm going into the Army,' and that was that. He loved his country and what America stands for."
Bo gave 100 percent to the military, his family says. He made time for family and friends when he came home, and in 2008 he came home for five days from a deployment to attend his grandfather's funeral.
But even at home, he worried about his brothers still overseas.
"He was up for promotion again," Dennis said. "He had people under him, at 23 years old. It shows how fast he grew up as a man. He was fighting for people he didn't even know. He told me once, 'It's hard to stand up for these people — they don't even want your help.' The world is in turmoil, and he believed he was doing the right thing to fix that turmoil. And we have to accept it because Bo took a lot of pride in what he did. But it does break my heart. He was my hero way before all of this happened."
"He was all our hero," said his younger brother, John, a senior at Greer High.
When Bo came home, he enjoyed hunting, fishing and playing video games. His grandmother said he grew up playing in the woods. He loved his family and friends, his neighbors and the Greer community.
"There's people who live 100 years and couldn't spread the joy and love he did in his 24 years," Chan Hicks said.
The family praises the love, respect and professionalism they've received from the Army since Bo's death. They plan to start a foundation to honor and remember Bo, and work with Wounded Warriors and Friends of the Fallen.
The family also extends its deepest sympathies to the family of Richardson, also killed in Friday's attack.
"I hope people will say a little prayer for the other soldier's family," Dennis said. "Say a prayer for his brothers still over there. I wish they all could come home tonight."
Arrangements have not been made for Bo's funeral. But a Massachusetts man, the father of a soldier who served with Bo, wants to make an effort to attend.
Pete Fitzpatrick said his son, Sean, asked that he attend Bo's funeral. Pete Fitzpatrick had the chance to meet Bo, and said he knew that Bo, Sean and the others in the unit grew close as they worked, played and fought together.
"I don't know Bo's family, but he seemed like the kind of guy you'd be proud to have as a son," Pete Fitzpatrick said. "I'm happy to have had the opportunity to have met him. My son said he was the kind of guy that if you had to go into a fight, you'd want him there with you. He was a young guy who had so much to offer, and now he's gone. You gotta ask yourself, what for?"
Fitzpatrick recalled Bo's quiet but confident demeanor.
Chan Hicks said that quiet side of his son would have made him shun the attention the family has gotten during the past few days.
"He wouldn't have liked all the attention," Dennis said. "But I want people not to forget him and what he stood for. A lot of people are going to miss him, for sure. He'll never be gone in spirit, or in our hearts."
