Having only one episode (EP4) to develop her character so far kinda makes it tough to come to a major conclusion on her yet.
First time I saw her I found her to be pretty badass, but as things progressed she showed herself to have a pretty robotic personality. But that's not hard imagine considering how she grew up after the events of EP3.
Though her scene with Battler was touching.~

Still, she's not really up there in my list of favorites. I tend not to pity characters and their situations when I feel like the 'pity me' card is being shoved down my throat...but I can appreciate some of the cool stuff she did, and particularly her sacrifice that the Anime butchered. She knew it wouldn't be able to save her, the Ange of 1998, but she did it anyways, and that deserves credit in my opinion. Overall, though, even if she's not traditionally 'emo', her emotionless personality and general blandness doesn't put her on track as one of my favorites...but I don't hate her, either.
For what it's worth, I also feel like she was one of the best and most consistently well-animated characters in the series. I'm not sure why that is, but I can only really remember one QUALITY Ange scene (where her chest was bigger than her head). For the most part she seemed to be animated well, and I like her Anime design a lot more than her VN one (though I feel that way about most characters, she stands out in particular).

I agree: Ange wasn't particularly well adapted, as I personally saw her more "emotionally numb" in the anime than in the game. (Lack of certain scenes, but generally speaking, her emotions were quite stoic).
Actually, what I liked with Ange is how the progression of her emotional state is growing, without being out of character or absurdely random. If I were to see her smiling character sprite right from the start without any build up, I would certainly be sort of disturbed.
Anyway, I think that Ange is the character that got terribly mistaken due to how her past was written (let's face it: the way how it was redundant at times had an impact on the appreciation of the character as a whole for some reason), which rather leaves to some misunderstanding I guess.
Personally, I think she is one of the most interesting and intricate characters of the franchise. Part of it is of course how she had it rough, but I personally was more interested by her mindset growing over time. Any character with remotely the same kind of backstory would just turn into mop or whatever, but that wasn't actually the case for her. She started to be totally "indifferent" at first after losing so much with Eva, then progressively, she understood the "concept of magic" (or probably: how "love" can change a given truth).
That is to say, if I were to define Ange of 1998/meta world, I believe she is nowhere close to the "emo character" or quite unconventional. She never lamented on her fate, nor she was acting like a mop. Instead, she could go forward, even if she won't have what she has longed for 12 years. That is quite something for someone that basically lost everything.
Delusional? I don't exactly think so: the way how she expresses herself regarding Sakutarou and the sisters makes me think she has a very distinct idea of "what they are" in her mind, but that doesn't mean she has to go all pragmatic and deny them. That is sort of the same of people believing in superstition in our era, or people talking to themselves when alone at times.
Anyway, beyond her interesting background and growth, she was also quite entertaining with her jabs and bad ass side, but also a very nice personalty, sort of an all rounder.

Not enough Ange Love in this thread!
Ange was a great character that was just used by Bernkastel she almost had no emotion until she "died" in EP4. At least it gave Battler the determination and will along with his promise to Beato to see this through to the end.

I liked where he was going with her, until he just sort of stopped. It feels like he kind of gave up on certain aspects at some point toward the end. Considering how much buildup there was and how much of ep4 belonged to Ange, you'd figure it would be going somewhere else. While some people might call it crazy, I think he could have stretched out 1998 a lot more. Not necessarily through more flashbacks, of course. I don't see why anything really had to be resolved in the way it was by the end there.
She's a very intellectual character, in contrast to Battler, yet is ironically less emotionally stable than he is (even though he's more emotionally expressive). I was hoping for more narration from her point of view.

Ange Ushiromiya's Fangirl
Im thinking Ange can be compared to Shion in Higurashi. In Higurashi we didnt get a great widespread look at her until she got her own arc that was included in the first season of the anime. I kinda see Ange as incomplete as Shion was in the Higurashi arc she was introduced in. Im sure in one of the upcoming games we'll get a great look at her and she will be totally flushed out. Until then she is still the best of the Ushiromiyas.

In retrospect, I think I dislike Ange, but when I read through her story, I don't find it lagging or dull. I enjoyed it as much as the rest of Umineko. So I guess I'm torn on her. I expect to see some more of her later on.
Perhaps the lack of emotional expressions for her is why people consider her 'emo'.

Ange is okay. She's definitely better than Erika and Bern IMO. But she's not so great than what she used to be hyped up to be. Everyone loved her and was making such a big deal out of her, kinda like Erika before EP 5 was released only I actually like Ange.
Ange is good. Just not da bess. :3

According to this female character flowchart. (which doesn't list the brother complex as a character trope) Ange is either a "Michelle Rodriguez", a "Mary Sue", or an "Ideal woman". Hmmmmmmm....
But in all seriousness despite how much her story can drag on Ange is pretty tough and I think she has more going for her than a lot of female characters. Hey! at least she has conflict!

When I knew her story, I didn't thought much of her delusions and magical friends. To me, she's a lonely girl. She and her aunt didn't went well, her beloved brother and parents died, and she had problems in her class.
I liked her personality, the silent but bold type. She's dilligent as well and sort of like a detective to me. Her theories aren't bad. I need more development from her though. Like being able to make friends and have a happy like unlike her sad and lonely life.

Equipment To Help Students
ST. MARYS — Students in a local medical program recently received donations of various types of medical equipment that they can use in their classroom.
Mitch Eiting, of Midmark, made more than $19,000 in donations to Tri Star's Med Prep program. Those donations included a new autoclave, a new portable EKG, a dental chair with accessories and a hi-lo table. The equipment will be used as part of exercises throughout the year, Med Prep instructor Janet Nelson said.
"We'll have someone who's a patient, and we'll have to 'perform' procedures and things," Med Prep student Joni Brown said of their new dental chair. "It came with everything."
Their old chair didn't have an overhead light.
"The new chair gives us an opportunity to actually be able to use it," Med Prep student Brittany Sudhoff said.
Brown said the new chair is especially beneficial for her.
"I want to go into dental hygiene, so this is good for me to see," she said.
The hi-lo exam table enables better accessibility with patients.
"If you have an older patient, or someone in a wheelchair, it can go down to wheelchair height so they can get on it easier," Sudhoff said.
"They can scoot right onto it," Brown added.
Sudhoff said they just have to press a button to bright the table back up.
"It can go back up to physical height so it's easier for the doctor than being down low," she said.
Brown noted the students recently utilized the table.
"We recently did a check up with physical exercises," she said.
The autoclave, the students noted, helps when it comes to cleaning equipment.
"The autoclave is used to sterilize equipment," Brown said.
Sudhoff noted the students' older version, which they can still use, required more effort.
"The older one took a lot more work," she said. "For us, now it's mostly pressing a button," she said.
"It's a lot less complicated," Brown added."
It helps the students, Nelson said, to have both machines.
"It's a good thing for them to learn both because they don't know what they're going to get into when they get a job," she said. "I had a former student who is using the newer version, but some offices have the older one."
Med Prep student Casey Storer echoed Nelson.
"We get to learn the new and the old," she said. "Just because our other one is old doesn't mean we can't use it, you never know what you're going to use."
Nelson said her students will be going over dental exercises in December, and they will start using the EKG their third quarter.
"I think it's a great thing," Brown said of the equipment. "It gives us the knowledge of what we will see at work."
Sudhoff noted the donated equipment helps keep the Med Prep students up to date on what they're learning.
"The technology is changing so fast, so it's important that we keep up with it," she said.
Brown added it will also add familiarity when they enter the workforce.
"It gives us the experience to see what it's going to be like for work," she said.
Sudhoff noted their experience will also help in college.
"Going into college, anything we have already have the knowledge of how to operate will help us be one step ahead," she said.

Portman: Bill makes job harder
Already tasked with reining in $1.5 trillion from the federal budget, a freshman Congressman says it is dangerous for the country and wrong for President Barack Obama to saddle the committee with a jobs bill that adds nearly $450 billion more to the deficit.
Republican U.S. Sen. Rob Portman criticized the president for making a tough job in cutting the budget even more difficult with the unveiling of his "American Jobs Act," which is a jobs bill and stimulus package.
"It really makes the job harder because it adds more than $450 billion to the deficit because the $1.5 trillion amount is a substantial amount and that will be a challenge for this committee to find deficit reduction at that level, which has never been done before — it is the biggest deficit reduction ever in the history of the Congress," Portman said Thursday during a weekly media teleconference. "He has added to it and he has told us that he is going to make our job harder.
"I am very skeptical that his jobs bill will get the economy back on track by putting us even further into debt," the Congressman from Ohio said. "There has to be ways to pay for it that makes sense, that doesn't hurt the economy. There is some obvious things we can do right now that will not cost anything — regulatory relief, export agreements and tax reform — I think we can make the same money we are spending, by consolidating, streamlining and making government more effective."
Obama unveiled his American Jobs Act bill Tuesday at Fort Hayes High School in Columbus. The bill includes spending $60 billion to rebuild schools and hire teachers. The White House proposes to pay for the plan through limiting itemized deductions for families earning more than $250,0000 per year and ending tax breaks for oil and gas companies, hedge-fund managers and corporate jet owners.
Portman said Obama should be encouraging the committee to meet its current goals of trimming the budget by $1.5 trillion instead of adding more to the budget deficit and debt. He explained the president should be pushing for and leading Congress to pass regulatory and tax reform in an effort to "get the Ohio economy and the national economy going again."
Closing loopholes in the tax code without reforming the tax code will likely have a negative impact on the national economy, Portman said. He proposed letting the the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, of which he is a member, take on the task of reforming the tax code to make it simpler and tax revenue neutral.
He updated news media on this week's actions of the supercommittee, which held a hearing earlier this week, a meeting and discussions on Thursday and plans to meet again Friday.
"We will continue discussions on how we will address these record deficits and these long-term debts that are affecting our economy in fundamental ways," Portman said. "The president, of course, has been in Ohio touting his jobs plan and one of the concerns I continue to raise is how are we going to continue to deal with the economic problems if we don't also deal with the deficit problems."

Novel Approaches in Stage III NSCLC
Presenter: Hak Choy, MD
Affiliation: Vanderbilt University School of Medicine
The top cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States among both males and females remains lung cancer. Typically, as many as 80% of cases are non-small cell lung cancer, and of these, at least half present as unresectable, locally advanced disease. For this subgroup of patients, the standard of care is now widely accepted to be a combined modality approach of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. What the optimal combination of these two is remains an area of continuing refinement. However, while the search for the best chemotherapeutic agents and the most effective radiation regimen continues, there is general agreement regarding the sequencing of the two components, with concurrent administration of chemotherapy and radiation being the preferred approach.
Six major randomized trials currently exist addressing various components of the sequential vs. concurrent issue. Of these, the Japanese group and RTOG have directly compared sequential vs. concurrent regimens and demonstrated a gain in median survival of about 3 months, from 11 months with sequential to 14 months with concurrent. Although this may not seem like a large absolute improvement, the 3-month increase in median survival has actually translated into a doubling of long-term survival in stage III lung cancer. While acute toxicity data indicated significantly higher grade 3+ esophagitis in the concurrent arms of the Japanese and RTOG 9410 trials, as compared to sequential, long-term toxicities actually do not appear to differ. In light of this, the concurrent arm does indeed emerge the winner, giving improvement in survival without increasing long-term morbidity.
Future directions to improve on these results should incorporate the novel biologic agents, as well as newer chemotherapeutic agents such as docetaxel. Finally, continuing refinements in radiation therapy planning and delivery will hopefully contribute to better survival in locally advanced lung cancer.

Reciting the words of Japji, which speak of that which is beyond words to express, serves to bring the frequency of Infinity into your life. Japji is a tool designed to deliver a human being to a higher level of conciousness. Japji is a requirement for the seeker of Truth. The Sound Current of Japji and the meaning of its words, when meditated upon with openness and love, awakens a soul to its destiny.

"Repeating the entire Japji adjusts all the elements in all the charkas and gives you a complete tune up in your entire subtle and physical bodies " -Yogi Bhajan on Japji. "Once a man came to me and said, I want to be the wisest man in the world. I said, "Read Japji, and you will be. He never came back. Where is he? I don't know. That's all it takes. If anyone can understand Japji, he can understand the entire wisdom of God."

One of the places to include on any visit to Paris, would be the Church of Saint Sulpice, the famous location of the Da Vinci Code novel. This famous church is located in the same district as the Church of Saint Germain-des-Pres and this church. As this district extends from the Seine all the way to the bd de Montparnasse, it also includes the Luxembourg Gardens.
The Church of Saint Sulpice was started in 1646 by an architect by the name of Le Vau and that it was not finally completed until some one hundred thirty-four years later, after six different architects had worked on it. By the year 1733, all that remained to be built of Saint Sulpice's was the facade, and then it was decided, as so often happens in churches that are a long time in the building -and the wonder is that it did not happen more often-to change its style. The interior had been built in the Jesuit style, but when the Italian architect Servandoni was commissioned to build the facade, he built it in the classical style, and that is the facade you see there now-with certain exceptions.
The interior of Saint Sulpice, which is three hundred ninety-four feet long, one hundred eighty-seven feet wide and ninety-eight feet high. Many of the frescoes in this church were painted by Delacroix. Also of interest are the two benitiers or holy water vessels, which consist of giant seashells and were a gift from the Republic of Venice to Francis I. But to the lover of music, the chief attraction of Saint Sulpice will always be its famous organ and choir. Its organ is the largest in Europe, and both the music and the choir have been praised by French writers for generations.
A few anecdotes about the church. The ancestor of the telegraph, the Chappe system (moving panel system set on heights) had a fixed place on the roof until 1850. Baudelaire and the marquis de Sade were baptized in this church. Victor Hugo got married here.
The Rose Line, a narrow brass strip, marks the original zero-longitude line, which passed through Paris before begin moved to Greenwich, England. Silas the monk uses the line as a reference point in his quest for the Holy Grail. You can retrace his path from the stone statue north across the nave and transept to an obelisk next to the statue of St Peter. The Astronomical Gnomen in église Saint-Sulpice was commissioned in order to determine the exact date of easter, and the winter and summer equinoxes.

How An Anonymous Person Helped Me to Attend The iCommons Summit in Croatia
Credit: Rebecca Kahn
This map shows the number of countries from where representatives attended the recently concluded iCommons Summit in Croatia. 58 countries, to be precise. That's an amazing worldwide distribution. Click here to see a bigger map.
Now, that number would probably have been half had it not been for some really generous sponsors. In addition to big organizations, there are individuals who helped out. An anonymous person donated $100,000 specifically to help iCommoners worldwide who otherwise couldn't have made it to the summit on their own.
I was one of the beneficiaries. My entire trip costed around Rs.1.5 lakhs. I don't think I could have afforded that on my own. My trip and accomodation was paid for. But I don't even know the name of the person who helped me out.
Its amazing that at a time when people crave for publicity and aim to get the 'bang for the buck', here is a person who refuses to take in credit.
Here is a lovely thank you note by Steve Foerster, an American who was my room mate at Dubrovnik.
Another amazing fact is that this huge conference was organized by a small team of about 10 members. Most of them are located in Johannesburg and Berlin but they pulled off the event brilliantly in distant Croatia.
The Boat Trip Around the Islands
On the last day of the conference, we headed out on a 4 hour cruise around a few of the islands around Dubrovnik. Croatia has over 1100 islands out of which only 76 are inhabited.
We docked up at one of the remote islands and spent about an hour playing sea volleyball.
Here are photos from the trip.
The one thing that really caught my attention was that fantastic blue color of the sea. I have never seen the sea in such a rich shade of blue.
The view of the old town from the ocean. This is the same wall that protected the city from the Venetian attack about 500 years ago and partly defended the Serbian attack 16 years ago.
We saw a great replica of one of the traditional boats used centuries ago. These replica boats are very popular with the tourists and are quite expensive to hire.

Video of Bombing of Dubrovnik city by Serbians
I did a walking tour of the old town at Dubrovnik and its fabulous. People say that the old city retains the grandeur of yesteryear. It's remarkable that this very same city was bombed pretty badly by the Serbians in 1991. The Serbians sieged the city for more than a month and the residents lived inside without running water and power. The entire city is within massive walls which are 10 feet thick.
I'm writing this from a building that got hit by the missiles. Take a look at this video to see the atrocious bombings of the Dubrovnik old city.
Here is how the city looks now.
The Croatians did a fabulous work in restoring it back. Its so good that if not for the video or the pictures of the bombing, its difficult to believe that it ever got attacked.
The Global Alcohol Remix
At the iCommons Summit, there are 300 participants coming in from over 50 countries. There was this cool initiative from the organizing folks who asked each participant to bring along a couple of bottles of local alcohol from their country. This was used on the 'Welcome Drinks Get-together' organized on day zero. Awesome idea. So, there was a rich mix of alcohol. It's a shame that I didn't catch a snap of the bottles. But here's a photo of the get-together on the top of Revelin, a castle like building dating back to many centuries. (That's me in the yellow tshirt talking with Yevgeny Morosov from Brussels Belarus.)

From Independence Day fireworks to boat races, special events celebrate mid-summer
PRATT — July means fishing, boating, swimming, and fireworks, and Kansas state parks provide them all. As Kansans get prepared to celebrate the birth of the nation and enjoy July outdoors, state parks are destination #1.
In addition to firework displays at many state parks, the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) has planned a number of special park events. Fishing tournaments continue as a favorite summer pastime, while other events — including a veterans reunion at El Dorado State Park, a sand castle contest at Lovewell, boat races at Kanopolis, and a trail run at Perry — make state park visits a July treat.
Each park sets its own dates for events. Many are educational, and all make visiting Kansas state parks more enjoyable. For more information on state park events, phone individual parks or click the "Event Calendar" on the State Parks page of the KDWP website, www.kdwp.state.ks.us. Cabin rental reservations may also be made online.
Park goers are urged to phone the park they intend to visit before traveling. Telephone numbers of all state parks offices may be found on the KDWP website. Click "State Parks" at the top of the page, then "Locations" in the left-hand column. A short conversation with local park staff will provide information on campsite availability, park conditions, current visitation rates, and answers to other questions. Campsite reservations may also be made by phone.
The following is a list of events for July:
- July 2-4 —fireworks, dance, parade, and mud volleyball at Cross Timbers State Park and the city of Toronto;
- July 3 — fireworks display at Wilson State Park;
- July 4 — Waters Edge Ministry church service at Hillsdale State Park (every Sunday);

DuPont and the University of Tennessee have announced plans to build a new cellulosic ethanol pilot plant and research facility that could help provide the best of both worlds for the renewable fuel.
The pilot plant, which will be located 30 minutes from the University of Tennessee campus in Knoxville, could be one of the first steps in shifting ethanol production from corn to less demand-intensive feedstocks such as corn cobs and switchgrass.
"We believe this project will make Tennessee the focal point for the development of the cellulosic ethanol process," said University of Tennessee President John Peterson, speaking at a breakfast at the 25th annual Milan No-Till Field Day the day after Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen announced the agreement in Nashville.
"When we first talked to the governor about this project, he was skeptical. But we were able to show DuPont that we have already made tremendous strides in laying the groundwork for producing ethanol from non-grain materials."
Ethanol critics, including the Grocery Manufacturers Association and officials with the Oil Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), have complained that the increasing demand for corn for ethanol production is responsible for "skyrocketing" food prices.
Renewable fuel supporters have countered that corn would eventually be replaced by non-grain materials as the primary feedstock for ethanol, but the development of a commercially viable cellulosic ethanol manufacturing procress has been slow. The DuPont-University of Tennessee partnership promises to produce ethanol from biomass and reduce the ethanol demand for corn.
"With food and gas prices surging at double-digit rates, there is an imperative for sustainable biofuels technologies," said DuPont Chairman and CEO Charles O. Holliday Jr., in a press release. "This joint venture addresses this issue head on."
Holliday was referring to an agreement between DuPont and Genencor, a division of Danisco A/S, a Danish company, to form DuPont Danisco Cellulosic Ethanol LLC. DuPont Danisco and the University of Tennessee will build the pilot cellulosic ethanol plant.
The plant, which will be located in Vonore, Tenn., about 35 miles from Knoxville, is expected to produce up to 250,000 gallons of ethanol annually. The plant is expected to be operational by the fall of 2009.
Some farmers attending the Milan Field Day expressed disappointment that the plant will be located in the eastern portion of the state or too far for them to ship baled switchgrass economically.
Peterson said university officials expect the pilot plant to be the first of at least 10 cellulosic production facilities that will be built across Tennessee, providing new cropping opportunities for the state's farmers.
"This is a new enterprise that doesn't replace anything else we do in the state," he said. "DuPont has been working on using corn cobs as a feedstock in its cellulosic ethanol research, but they say switchgrass is as close to corn cobs as anything else they've worked on."
Vonore, Tenn., was selected as the site of the pilot plant and process development unit because it is a 30-minute drive from the University of Tennessee campus and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which has also been working on development of a cellulosic ethanol process.
"There's not any aspect of the cellulosic ethanol process that we won't cover in this effort," said Peterson, referring to the University of Tennessee's participation. "It will touch nearly every department in the university system."
Farmers in Henry County in west Tennessee have been growing switchgrass and shipping it to a coal-fired electricity-generating plant in Gadsden, Ala., under a grant from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. That project convinced researchers that the switchgrass should be grown within 50 miles of the cellulosic ethanol manufacturing plant.
As a result, the university has contracted with 16 farms in a 50-mile radius of the Vonore location to produce switchgrass. The farmers, who planted 723 acres of switchgrass last spring, agree to share cost input and production records with University of Tennessee researchers.
Although they've been working with other materials, DuPont Danisco managers indicated they have no qualms about using switchgrass in their new cellulosic ethanol technology.
"The high cellulosic content of switchgrass makes it an optimal feedstock for ethanol production," said John Pierce, technology leader for DuPont Danisco. "Its yield today makes it more than competitive with other biomass sources, and it has the potential to produce more than 1,000 gallons of ethanol per acre in the future.
"The joint venture is now targeting the two optimal biomass feedstocks in the United States, and we are ready to take our technology to the next level of commercial activity."
In 2007, Bredesen proposed and the Tennessee legislature set aside $40.7 million toward the construction of a pilot biorefinery. Those funds will be combined with a substantial investment from DuPont Danisco to construct the pilot plant and research facility.
DuPont said it expects to invest $140 million in corn stover and sugarcane bagasse research along with the Tennessee pilot plant and research facility over the next three years.
The switchgrass plantings, which range from 15 to 136 acres, are expected to mature in three years. Genera Energy LLC, the corporation set up by the University of Tennessee, to manage the project, has guaranteed the farmers $450 per acre for growing the switchgrass.
The pilot plant will initially process western Tennessee corncobs to ethanol and then will optimize its technology for switchgrass to ethanol conversion, according to University of Tennessee officials.
One of the few groups to be disappointed by the July 23 announcement was Mascoma Corp. of Boston, a company that had received a $26 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to work with the University of Tennessee on cellulosic ethanol processing.
Peterson was philosophical about the break-up with Mascoma. "You always want to go home from the dance with the person you wanted to, right?" he said. "DuPont is the partner we want to be with."

The banner on the front cover of the July 23, 2001 issue of Time announced somewhat authoritatively, "How Apes Became Humans," and claimed that a new hominid discovery tells "scientists about how our oldest ancestors stood on two legs and made an evolutionary leap." Yet those empty cover-words become almost secondary as readers find themselves captivated by the "ape-man" drawing that blankets the entire cover. Unfortunately, many readers may never make it to page 57, where staff writers Michael Lemonick and Andrea Dorfman admit that the discoverers of the fossils under discussion, Yohannes Haile-Selassie and his colleagues, "haven't collected enough bones yet to reconstruct with great precision what kadabba looked like." That fact, however, did not prevent the magazine's editors from putting an intimidating, full-color spread of this new creature on the cover—an image that becomes somewhat laughable in light of the actual facts. A thorough investigation of this "scientific discovery" reveals that this creature was "reconstructed" from only 6 bone fragments (and a few teeth)—of which, the only bone that might provide the artist with any structural information of the head is a piece of the right mandible.
In their article, "One Giant Step for Mankind," Lemonick and Dorfman invite the reader to "meet your newfound ancestor, a chimplike forest creature that stood up and walked 5.8 million years ago" (p. 54). This new creature has been named Ardipithecus ramidus kadabba (kadabba—taken from the Afar language—means "basal family ancestor") and lived, according to evolutionists, between 5.2 and 5.8 million years ago. This beats the previous record holder by nearly a million-and-a-half years, and according to evolutionists' estimates, puts them "very close to the time when humans and chimps first went their separate ways" (p. 56). Lemonick and Dorfman went on to comment: "…[N]o one has yet been able to say precisely when that first evolutionary step on the road to humanity happened, nor what might have triggered it. But a discovery reported last week [July 12—BH] in the journal Nature has brought paleontologists tantalizingly close to answering both these questions" (for the original Nature article, see Haile-Selassie, 2001). That's a pretty tall statement, considering the fact that researchers had only the following bone fragments to discern all of this information: fragment of the right mandible, one intermediate hand phalanx, left humerus and ulna, distal humerus, proximal hand phalanx fragment, left clavicle fragment, proximal foot phalanx, and a few teeth. Additionally, these bones were not laid out neatly in typical skeletal format, all grouped together just waiting for researchers to dig them up. No indeed. These few bones took researchers 5 years to collect, and came from 5 different locations! And so, from a fossilized toe, a piece of jawbone, a finger, arm bones, a clavicle, and a few teeth we have this incredible "ape-man" telling us "how apes became human."
Prominently displayed in the center of page 59 of the Time article is a tiny fragment of a toe bone. Lemonick and Dorfman wrote: "This toe bone proves the creature walked on two legs." Amazing, is it not, what one can discern from a single toe bone! The human foot contains 26 individual bones, (see Netter, 1994, p. 492), and yet evolutionary scientists claim that they can distinguish walking characteristics from just a single bone? That bold caption also fails to inform the reader that this toe bone was found in 1999, is "chronologically younger" than the other bone fragments, and was found in a separate location from the rest of the fossils. In fact, the bone fragments that make up this new specimen came from five localities of the Middle Awash in Ethiopia: Saitune Dora, Alaya, Asa Koma, Digiba Dora, and Amba East (Haile-Selassie, 2001, 412:181). Lemonick and Dorfman admitted: "Exactly how this hominid walked is still something of a mystery, though with a different skeletal structure, its gait would have been unlike ours" (p. 57). But that did not stop the authors from speculating that "kadabba almost certainly walked upright much of the time" and that "many of its behaviors undoubtedly resembled those of chimpanzees today" (p. 57). Interesting speculation, especially in view of the fact that the ages of the fossilized bone fragments composing kadabba vary by hundreds of thousands of years, even using the evolutionists' own dating schemes.
In contemplating the origin of "two-leggedness," the authors of the Time article suggested that these animals were rewarded with additional food for their bipedal mobility. The writer then go into painstaking detail to describe the environment in which researchers believe these creatures lived—an environment that, in their view, necessitated that animals walk upright. Meave Leakey, head of paleontology at the National Museums of Kenya, wife of Richard Leakey, a well-known member of the world's most famous fossil-hunting family, stated: "And if you're moving into more open country with grasslands and bushes and things like this, and eating a lot of fruits and berries coming off low bushes, there is a [expletive deleted] of an advantage to be able to reach higher. That's why the gerenuk [a type of antelope—BH] evolved its long neck and stands on its hind legs, and why the giraffe evolved its long neck" (p. 59). Yet even staunch evolutionists such as Stephen Gould cringe at statements like that. In fact, in an article titled "The Tallest Tale" that he penned for the May 1996 issue of Natural History, Dr. Gould began by stating: "The tallest tale is the textbook version of giraffe evolution—a bit of a stretch." Gould went on to state:
Giraffes, we are told, got long necks in order to browse the leaves at the tops of acacia trees, thereby winning access to a steady source of food available to no other mammal. Lamarck, the texts continue, explained the evolution of long necks by arguing that giraffes stretched and stretched during life, elongated their necks in the process and then passed the benefits along to their offspring by altered heredity. This lovely idea may embody the cardinal virtue of effort rewarded, but heredity, alas, does not operate in such a manner. A neck stretched during life cannot alter the genes that influence neck length and offspring cannot reap any genetic reward from parental striving (pp. 19-20).
In commenting on why this example of evolution with the giraffe's neck is bad science, Gould wrote:
If we choose a weak and foolish speculation as a primary textbook illustration (falsely assuming that the tale possesses weight of history and a sanction in evidence), then we are in for trouble as critics properly nail the particular weakness and then assume that the whole theory must be in danger if supporters choose such a fatuous case as a primary illustration (p. 56).
Creationist Luther D. Sunderland further reiterated the foolishness of this line of thinking when he stated: "Evolutionists cannot explain why the giraffe is the only four-legged creature with a really long neck and yet everything else in the world [without that long neck—BH] survived. Many short-necked animals, of course existed side by side in the same locale as the giraffe" (1988, pp. 83-84). And so, as Leakey herself pointed out, the evolutionists theories regarding bipedalism "are all fairy tales really because you can't prove anything" (Lemonick and Dorfman, p. 60). Fairy tales indeed!
While Ardipithecus ramidus kadabba undoubtedly will stir controversy among evolutionists as to exactly where it fits into the "evolutionary family tree," it does little to answer the questions of "how apes became human," or when and why these creatures became bipedal. Given the small measurements of the fossilized bones collected, kadabba is very likely to find itself relegated to the same branch as the infamous Lucy (Australopithecus afarensis)—simply a fossilized ape.

A woman from the ritzy New York City suburb of Scarsdale who is accused of raising thousands of marijuana plants was compared Tuesday to Colombian cocaine lords.
Andrea Sanderlin, 45, was indicted Tuesday in federal court in Brooklyn on charges of operating a sophisticated pot-growing operation in a Queens warehouse.
"Whether you're a suburban mom growing marijuana in a warehouse in Queens or a cartel member making cocaine in the jungles of Colombia, manufacturing and distributing illegal narcotics comes at a hefty price," said James Hayes Jr., a Homeland Security agent, in a release announcing the indictment.
U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch said Sanderlin "chose to inhabit the shadowy underworld of large-scale drug dealers, using drug proceeds to maintain her family's facade of upper middle class stability."
A call to Sanderlin's attorney, Joel Winograd, was not immediately returned.
Sanderlin, a mother of two daughters, pleaded not guilty in May when she was arrested on a federal complaint. The arrest sparked comparisons to the TV series "Weeds," which chronicled a fictional California woman's attempt to support her family by raising marijuana.
Sanderlin has been held without bail since her arrest. No arraignment has been scheduled.
She faces two counts: manufacturing and possessing marijuana with intent to distribute, and maintaining a drug-involved premises. If convicted, Sanderlin could be sentenced to 10 years in prison and fined up to $10 million, Lynch said.
After being tipped by an informant, agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration followed Sanderlin's Mercedes from Scarsdale to Queens and found nearly 3,000 marijuana plants plus shelves, fans, lights and hoses, officials said.
The warehouse's big electric bill was also a clue, they said.
The DEA estimated the street value of the pot at $3 million.

Like I said - he has a great talent and potential, but he is ruining them both... He was a very promising player while in Italy. And then he was transferred to Man City where he got 2 very bad injuries and didn't play for months... This maybe also helped for his regress lately...Today our media re saying that you will send us Bojinov on loan until the end of the season. Anything about that in Portugal? Except that you kicked him out of the first team?
What is your opinion about Bojinov? As a player obviously.
Take him please!! When that bastard playes we only have 10 players on field and no striker and the outher team gets a reinforcement a free 3rd central defender
Bojinov --->
I don't this would be a good option. It may become worse if he comes in Bulgaria to play.

John Adams Repents in Heaven
In the close of HBO's wonderful 2008 series about America's second president, titled "John Adams," the voice of Adams is narrated by actor Paul Giamatti and it closes the seven part mini-series:
Posterity! You will never know how much it cost the present Generation to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it.
These words were not dramatic flair of a modern day screenwriter but the actual thoughts of John Adams recorded by his hand in a letter to his wife, Abigail, in 1777.
Stay Engaged
As we celebrate this year's Independence Day — and we should with passion and verve — it is easy to believe that John Adams repented in heaven long ago. The evidence for his needing to do so is everywhere: corporate welfare subsidies, national health care, confiscations of wealth and property and micromanagement of our lives by distant government bureaucrats.
Last week, a friend pointed me toward remarks made by U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the Democrat House Minority Leader in Congress in which she noted people will now celebrate "health independence."
"It (the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) captures the spirit of our Founders …" she said, and then appears to add an odd allusion that this new law (also known as Obamacare) offers Americans greater "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" in the tradition of our Founders' words. Watch the video here.
I understand that extemporaneous speech is difficult and it is sometimes easy to get discombobulated, but I do believe she was intentional in her attempt to link Obamacare to our Founders and the sublime Declaration they approved.
Of course, the Declaration first is a legal document declaring Independence from Great Britain and listing grievances with the King of England. One of my favorites and perhaps the most pertinent for this essay complained that, "He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance."
It is hard not to speculate that the Founders are rolling over in their graves over Rep. Pelosi's claims or at least repenting in heaven. Obamacare is a historic government intervention in the lives of countless Americans who neither want the program nor the bill when it comes due.
Republicans deserve criticism too. Right here in Michigan a bunch of them in the state house just voted to expand an expensive Medicaid program that helps facilitate Obamacare.
Is it too much to ask politicians the world over not to stuff themselves into every arena of American life? As we celebrate the 4th of July is it not too much to ask for a little independence?

A prescription is valid for 6 months from the date on the prescription, unless the medicine prescribed contains a controlled drug.
The date on the prescription can be:
If a prescription shows both of these dates, the 6 months starts from the later date.
This applies to medicines prescribed on the NHS and privately.
Always follow the instructions of your GP, or the person who issued the prescription, about when to take your medication.
Read more about discussing your medication with your GP.
Repeat prescriptions allow the same prescription to be dispensed more than once. A repeat prescription must be dispensed for the first time within 6 months of the date on the prescription.
After this, the repeat prescription can continue to be valid beyond 6 months, according to the directions on the prescription.
Some prescription medicines are controlled under the Misuse of Drugs legislation. These include morphine, pethidine and methadone.
These medicines are sometimes misused, so strict legal controls apply to their supply to prevent them being obtained inappropriately.
A prescription for a controlled drug is valid for 28 days from the date on the prescription.
If you have a prescription for a controlled drug that states the drug should be dispensed in several instalments, the first instalment must be dispensed within 28 days of the date on the prescription.

Boston's Mayor Plays Chicken With Anti-Gay Food Franchise
Boston's mayor, Thomas Menino, may have his heart in the right place. But his stance to oppose in every way possible -- official and otherwise -- a restaurant franchise from opening in his city is un-American and ultimately a "lose" for our side.
Menino is angered and disgusted by the comments made by the owner of Chick-Fil-A opposing marriage equality. The owner is quite outspoken: As reported here, he believes "we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say, 'We know better than You as to what constitutes a marriage."
Yes, this is despicable. The owner, Dan Cathy, also has been documented as contributing heavily to anti-gay organizations such as Focus on the Family. Predictably, the National Organization for Marriage and such groups are praising him for his outspoken stance.
I find Cathy as repugnant as the next person. But I also do not believe that his personal beliefs are enough to allow a public official to disallow a company from opening in his city. If the franchisee gets the proper permits, pays the rent, and observes local laws -- including no hiring discrimination based on sexual preference or gender identity -- then he or she should have every right to open in Boston.
I say, let the market decide; not a public official.
The reasoning is simple: If Cathy has not been found to be discriminatory in his hiring practices or his customers, he is entitled to his opinions. Chick-Fil-A trumpets its "Christian values" by apparently piping in Christian music (enough of a reason to avoid at all costs!) and closing all franchises on Sunday.
These are not, however, enough reasons to oppose an enterprise from opening. Anecdotally, from looking around on the Internet, the individual franchises don't seem to be guilty of any prejudice against LGBT workers. The comments I've read appear to be disingenuous enough not to be company plants. Of course, one never knows, although there do not appear to be any complaints that I can find.
But there's another, more important reason.
Such a stance is a slippery slope that cuts both ways. If Cathy is prevented from practicing legal commerce because of his views, so could a mayor of a very conservative city invoke Menino when opposing a company with the opposite stance.
Thus, a mayor would be within his rights to oppose a vocally pro-gay rights company, such as Starbucks, say, or Apple. If we agree Menino is right, so is this theoretical mayor.
I've never liked this hardcover tactic by a big-city mayor. It smacks too much of bullying for my liking. I also believe, along with the American Civil Liberties Union and the U.S. Supreme Court, that the most obnoxious abusers of free speech really draw the line between those who would fight for the First Amendment down the line and the wishy-washy.
I've often stated my opposition to censorship of any kind -- on the right or the left, pro- or anti-gay. That goes double for any business enterprise.

But my legs felt great yesterday! Thanks for the advice
Lentils are great for healthy energy. Ironically, I'm actually considering lessening my protein consumption for more energy since I've been feeling tired during P90X month 2. Just goes to show that different people have different nutritional needs for different activities. Some of the best advice I've gotten on this forum is to find what works for you and stick with it, whether it's 80/10/10, 60/20/20, or 30/50/20. A little trial-and-error isn't a bad thing.
And congrats on the recovery and the running. It sounds like you're definitely putting the effort in, so your results should be terrific.

Meryl Streep to star in "The Giver"
Meryl Streep is to star in 'The Giver'.
The Oscar-winning actress - who played the iconic Margaret Thatcher in 'The Iron Lady' - looks set to star alongside Jeff Bridges after landing the role of the Chief Elder in the movie adaptation of Lois Lowry's 1993 fantasy novel, according to Deadline.
The film is a co-production between The Weinstein Company and Walden Media and will be set in a dystopian society, which is disturbed when a 12-year-old boy named Jonas (played by Brenton Thwaites) is selected to learn from an elderly man, The Giver (Bridges), about the pain and strife of the real world.
Streep's alter-ego is in charge of keeping order in the society, but that authority is put in danger when the youngster is chosen to be the receiver of memories of life before the 'sameness movement', which froze the population and created conformism.
Although the fantasy movie is similar to other dystopian movies with young leads - like 'The Hunger Games' and the upcoming 'Divergent' - Lowry's critically acclaimed novel was thought to be ahead of its time when it was released in 1993.
Production is set to begin in South Africa in eight weeks with Phil Noyce directing.

If this does not print tonight I will be the most dissapointed person in the world, and it had BETTER print in the next Double Take if not.

Re: A-paw-calypse Now
Yep, I really hope to see this shirt again in future Derbies!! If it makes it to the Reckoning, I will be buying several of them, easily.
I guess I just don't understand the entry, but I'm not a huge fan of this shirt. Great art, but I would rather wear the Husky or Cerberus shirts. Or maybe it's just because I never liked scottish terriers.
Having been around a long time, I actually have to admit this is an interesting design, flaw or not, to come from Ramy, when you consider that most of his shirts are rehashes of his previous best-sellers. That said, I am not so much caring about small mistakes as I'd like to see more artists work outside of their comfort zones and styles. It's like watching Food Network challenge shows with the same challenge, in fact, they usually throw curveballs to see how their contestants work outside of their comfort zone. Woot really needs to get more creative with each Derby and try to pull out some more potential out of the "Big Names" while continuing to foster the spirit of the game to new and upcoming artists.
Good game though, looking to see if you can try something new next.
4th? I LOOOOOOOVE PONIES? I wanted this shirt. The other three sucked.

My gardening crew---all women---were here today, putting everything to bed, covering things with mulch, getting ready for, ugh, snow. I've had Lucia and her crew working here for the past 8 years and I love how strong they are, how tireless, how cheerful.
My own daughter, my younger one, runs a business that is usually done only by men. She removes paint from various things but specializes in antique cars. So she is trim and strong as can be and very proud, rightly, of being an expert at such a demanding job.
It is very cool to see women loving hard work and doing it well.
And speaking of women: today is my granddaughter's 16th birthday. And darn it, the gift that I was so excited about sending her...which was mailed 3 weeks ago to Germany...has not arrived yet. Martin and I are going over there late in November, so we can take a duplicate if it has been lost in the mail. But I suspect it will show up in a few days. It's just disappointing that it wasn't there for the big day. More for me than for her! Hiss boo to the postal service.
Today was not a full day of work because I was feeling kind of crummy with this cold and ended up napping this afternoon. Did the trick, apparently, because this evening I am feeling pretty good and suspect that I'll be fine tomorrow. And they are predicting rain, so it won't be tempting to go outside... I'll get lots done.
(And that last paragraph is why blogs are boring).
