OK, then, the gimme is out of the way.
The only gimme.
Chances are that Thursday night's top-popping result a 56-14 curb-stomp of Idaho State will be the Utes' only six-touchdown win of the season. And that lopsided showing probably made everyone at Rice-Eccles Stadium, outside of Utah's coaches, glad the rest of the Ute games will be a whole lot more arduous, gut-wrenching and entertaining.
Kyle Whittingham said it straight with these words afterward: "Not sure how much more we know about our team after tonight."
Let's say it like it is, again, then: The Bengals are not a good college football team. Yeah, they're student-athletes and all, they're kids, they're trying the best they can, they're not really to be blamed for their comparative limitations, but … how you say? … they struggle at football. ISU hasn't won a road game since 2006. It's now lost 45 straight. That's not a fluke. That's not a trend. That's a long, punitive run of hard time. Pocatello, henceforth, should be banned from being entrusted with or subjected to any kind of college football experience.
It was easy to feel sorry for the Bengals.
Their quarterback Justin Arias is pretty decent, in a Big Sky kind of way. Same with their offense. They gained 337 yards which is either a compliment to them or an indictment against the Ute defense. In fact, in judging Utah in this game, the Modified Stableford Scoring System of Playing Bad Big Sky Teams must be employed. If Idaho State put up 337, your average Pac-12 offense would have doubled that.
"Poor gap control," Whittingham said. "We need to get better."
Thursday night, it didn't matter.
The Utes didn't really win this game. They were handed it the day the deal was signed to play the thing. It was a rather simple exchange: Utah agreed to pay Idaho State a load of money and the Utes were allowed to have their way with the Bengals. If that kind of agreement were made and followed through on anywhere but on a football field, the vice squad would have come in and arrested everybody involved.
It would be easy to rip Utah for doing this deal, except that the degree of difficulty on the rest of its schedule is akin to scaling the face of El Capitan while wearing oven mitts. We'll give the Utes the benefit of the doubt, but there is no reason to give them much credit for what transpired here. It was pretty much what it was supposed to be a sip of nectar, albeit stale nectar, without much satisfaction.
Those who presumed the Ute coaching staff had to go 6-6 this season to save their jobs were wrong. They had to go 5-6, because Game 1 was an automatic.
Travis Wilson went ahead and threw for 265 yards on 13 of 18 passing, including 1 touchdown, in the first half. Kendal Thompson came on in the second and hit 6 of 10 throws for 69 yards and ran for 20. Wilson looked the better of the two QBs. At half's end, he directed a sparkling 3-play, 74-yard TD drive in 16 seconds, making it 35-7.
Utah's new offense seemed bored against such an opponent. With new coordinator Dave Christensen at the wheel, the attack was mostly balanced, throwing the ball for 351 yards, running it for 238.
"We didn't showcase the whole offense," Wilson said.
The defense, as mentioned, looked like a hot mess at times, nearly allowing ISU to tie the score at 14 early in the second and later playing inconsistent. "[We were] very average," said senior defensive end Nate Orchard. "Guys coming off their assignments. Not doing what they were supposed to do."
Special teams, however, was a sizeable Utah bonus with Kaelin Clay returning a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns.
The Bengals got their money, the Utes got their win, and nobody got arrested by the cops for illicit behavior. And the voyeurs, the 45,000 fans who loaded into Rice-Eccles on Thursday night, got a small taste of football, which seemed to at least partially fill a belly that had been growling for nine months.
From here on out, that taste will be bigger, that belly force-fed more fare than it can easily consume. We'll find out, week by week, how good the Utes really are. Not tonight. There are no more automatics. Everything from here on out will be hard and hard-won.

BSOD 1000007e Crash
I have a Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit Sony Vaio VGN-FW51MF laptop with a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 video card. The laptop is relatively new (1 and a half years) and I have not changed the OS or anything since.
The problem is that when playing certain games (or as I remember in the past, connecting to a screen via HDMI) the computer would go BSOD. The crash is completely spontaneous, it can easily not happen for a whole hour play through but then also could happen 5 minutes in. Also it happens in select games only, for example Dragon Age 2 (which is mildly taxing) is not prone to it, though Team fortress 2 is very prone to it (not on orange maps however...). My only conclusion is that it effects Source or Unreal engine games (though thats a lot), but this is only speculation. This hasn't bothered too much before, however it is now becoming more and more apparent. If anybody could help me in any way it would be greatly appreciated! The BSOD report is
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.768.3
Locale ID: 2057
Additional information about the problem:
BCCode: 1000007e

Service Pack: 0_0

I've attached the health report and the dump (hopefully all according to guidelines) and I'm planning on doing a memory check tonight, as it seems to be the first step to finding out the problem (or so a friend told me...) Unfortunately my own computer savy is very limited and I hope a more knowledgeable soul could help. Again any help is very very well received.

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my query! I am currently trying this out. My only concern is that downloading the "latest" driver from the sony website gets me a nearly 2 year old driver... Will that not increase the likelyhood of BSODs? Again thanks so much for your help! It is immensely appreciated!

The timestamp doesn't really matter that much, the graphics driver sounds like if it is corrupt and just needs a reinstallation.
You're welcome for the help.

Sorry to hear your still having problems, to answer the question in your second post.
MS memtest is not very good, you should use Memtest86+, it's free and used by many enthusiasts and highly recommended.

Thanks for all your help! One query though, when I reinstalled the driver I managed to go through the device manager then video card, then specify which folder the new driver was at. However if I try to install the driver from the ATI package directly it says failed to load detection driver.
Does this make it more likely to BSOD? Is there any way to fix it? Thank you very much once again!
|My System Specs
|24 Apr 2011
When upgrading your graphic driver you need to remove all traces of the current driver.
Use Guru3D - Driver Sweeper to get rid of everything from the old driver.
Select only the graphics driver to clean.
Then download and install the new graphics driver, best to get it from the ATI website.

What Is It? game 231
Once again, it's time for our collaboration with the always amusing What Is It? Blog! Do you know what the object in this picture is? You can win even if you don't know!
Place your guess in the comment section below. One guess per comment, please, though you can enter as many as you'd like. Post no URLs or weblinks, as doing so will forfeit your entry. Two winners: the first correct guess and the funniest (albeit ultimately wrong) guess will each win a T-shirt from the NeatoShop.
Please write your T-shirt selection alongside your guess. If you don't include a selection, you forfeit the prize, okay? May we suggest the Science T-Shirt, Funny T-Shirt and Artist-Designed T-Shirts?
Check out the What Is It? Blog for another picture of the backside of this mystery thing. Good luck!
Update: the scary-looking object in question is a chainsaw bumper spike, or dog bumper. It attaches to a chain saw and is held against a tree to help steady the saw while it cuts. Read more about it at the What Is It? blog. The first correct answer came from Berhard, who wins a t-shirt! The funniest answer came from Colin M, who said it was a "megalodonometer."
That's obviously a tool used be a Ichthyologist, they use it to measure the size of a sharks teeth, but only when they are still in the sharks mouth, hence the reason for the two bolt holes, which is used to mount to a stick, cause I do not know a Marine Biologist that would put their hand inside a sharks mouth.
That's good enough for a t-shirt from the NeatoShop! Thanks to everyone who played this week, and thanks to the What Is It? blog.

Financial and Legal
I need some mortgage advice?
Our Sales Advisor can arrange a telephone call or appointment with our nominated Mortgage Broker, New Homes Mortgage Helpline. They specialise in New Build mortgages, and have access to exclusive products that are not available on the high street. The Helpline are available for advice 7 days a week, and they will arrange to meet you at a time convenient to yourselves. See Mortgage Services for full details of the service provided.
What is a mortgage valuation?
Prior to approving your mortgage application, your chosen lender will have the property valued for mortgage purposes and a fee will normally be payable.
Please note that the value the lender puts on the property is a valuation for loan purposes only. This valuation figure may not be reflective of the open market value. You should also be aware that if you add numerous Additions options to your new home, the full value of these may not be reflected in the value the lender puts on the property.
What are Local Authority Search Fees?
This Search will establish if your new home is likely to be affected by any planning decisions or other proposals close to the new development.
What is the difference between Leasehold and Freehold?
Leasehold means the Land is held under a Lease for a specified term of years on which a ground rent is paid. Freehold means you have full ownership of both the property and the land on which it stands.
What are Land Registry Fees?
This fee is to register your ownership of your property with the Land Registry. The fees are set by the Government.
House Buying Process
Is there a minimum purchase price for part exchange?
Where Part Exchange is offered it varies depending on the property you wish to purchase and the property you have to sell. Usually, there needs to be a differential of around 30% between the value of your current home and the new Bellway Home. We also offer our Express Mover Scheme which has more flexibility to help sell your current home. By using a local agent to market your property, Bellway will do all the chasing to ensure you find a buyer as quickly as possible. Please ask our Sales Advisor for more details.
What happens if I have a house to sell?
If you are selling your home and buying a new home, it is your solicitor's responsibility to ensure that both sets of contracts – i.e. the sale of your existing home and the purchase of your new one - are exchanged simultaneously and a suitable moving day agreed. It is not always possible to co-ordinate the sale of your existing property and the completion on your new Bellway Home and if this is the case you may have to consider some form of temporary accommodation until your new Bellway Home is ready. (England only)
How do I reserve a new home?
Your reservation fee reserves your new home and during this reserved period your new home will be withdrawn from sale and it will not be subject to any price increases. We will then ask you to exchange contracts and pay a deposit on exchange which is usually within 28 days of reservation. The reservation fee and deposit are then deducted from the price of your home. (In Scotland, missives must be concluded in 10 working days)
How long will our property be reserved for?
The property will normally be reserved until the date stated on your reservation form in England as this is when contract exchange is expected to take place. (England only)
How much money is required as a reservation fee?
We usually require a minimum £250 as a reservation fee however this is subject to regional variations and the amount can also vary depending upon the purchase price of the property.
Is my reservation fee refundable?
Following the guidelines under the Consumer Code, a homebuyer has the right to be reimbursed the reservation fee but an amount of up to a maximum of £500 can be retained to cover administration costs. If you purchase your new home using our Part Exchange or Express Mover schemes, or the property purchased is for investment purposes, your reservation fee is non refundable.
Do we need to sell our house before we can reserve a Bellway Home?
If you are reliant on the sale of your home to finance your new Bellway home, you must have sold your property before you reserve a new Bellway home. This is to ensure that contracts can be exchanged 28 days after reservation. (England only) If you have not sold your house and wish to buy a Bellway home, we offer a Part Exchange Scheme and Express Mover Scheme both of which are available to help make your move as hassle free as possible.
Will Bellway update me on the progress of my purchase of my new Bellway Home?
As part of our Sales service, you will be kept informed of all progress of your purchase. This includes regular chasing of the broker for progress on your mortgage application and survey, to making sure all your legal paperwork is ready on time with your solicitor, to allow the exchange of contracts and legal completion to go through smoothly. We also keep you fully up to date on the build progress of your new Bellway home.
After Sales
What level of Service can I expect from Bellway Homes?
We aim to make moving home as simple as possible, and from the day you walk on to our Development to the moment we hand over the keys to your brand new home, we undertake to provide you with the best possible customer service. Our Customer Service Charter describes the level of service and standards that you can expect from Bellway.
Will Bellway Homes keep in contact with me after I have moved in?
Our Sales Advisor will be there on the day you move in to ensure you settle in as smoothly as possible. Three days after moving in, we will make a courtesy call or visit to ensure you are happy with your new surroundings.
The Site Manager will contact you within seven days of legal completion to arrange to complete any reported items. You will also be provided with Our Customer Care Department contact details so that there will be someone there you can speak to about any outstanding issues.
How do I look after my new home?
Just like a new car, your new home needs to 'run in'. During this period, the main thing to bear in mind is that your house is still drying out, since thousands of litres of water were used in the construction. As you new home dries out, it will release moisture into the air which can create condensation on cold surfaces such as windows and exterior walls. You can reduce this by keeping background central heating as low as possible, and you may choose to open windows for a while each day, to circulate fresh air round the house. During this period, a few small cracks may appear in the walls and timberwork, this is quite normal and can be cured when you re-decorate.
You will be provided you with our "Homecare" booklet upon moving into your new home which gives you essential advice on all aspects of maintaining your new home.
What is classed as an emergency with my new home?
Emergencies are classed as:
- Complete failure of the heating and/or hot water system during winter (October-April)
- Complete loss of water or gas supply (you need to check with relevant authority/supplier that the problem is not caused by a temporary supply interruption)
- A water leak that cannot be contained or is penetrating an electrical fitting
- Gas leaks (you should also call out your gas supplier who will isolate the leak and have your home made safe)
- Loss of electricity supply. You must check first with your supplier to ascertain whether there has been an interruption, such as a local power failure, to the supply.

At Rayson Company, Chad Maurer manages a multitude of day-to-day activities including scheduling, programming, and interfacing with the company's 22 employees. Chad wears several different hats as the production manager, fulfilling short lead-time orders from Houston area oilfield companies. His relentless sensitivity to making improvements in Rayson's processes drove him to enroll in the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt course in the College of Technology to learn more about how to streamline the company's processes. The goal was to figure out how to increase productivity by reducing the time and associated costs of setting up CNC lathes, which are controlled by computers to achieve complex industrial designs and tight tolerances.
"Most customers do not consider the setup of the CNC lathe machines a value added manufacturing process for which they will pay," said Maurer.
"We began to pushing down the road toward an implementation of Lean Six Sigma to help improve our processes," said Maurer. "I was encouraged to take the course at UH and am very pleased with our successful outcomes," he said.
"Some would consider the course topics unexciting, but Dr. Kovach's delivery makes the entire learning experience very interesting," he commented. "I have enjoyed the classroom setting, because the approach allowed me to stay focused. I particularly enjoyed the exposure to other managers who are facing similar challenges in various industries."
An oilfield services company based in Houston, Rayson has been around many years; and, several employees have been with the company for nearly half of those years, which made change more challenging to manage. It is a day-to-day culture change for Rayson. Since Maurer started implementing what he learned in the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt training, no longer are "five operators setting up the lathes five different ways."
"Most shops are not yet using this methodology to standardize their processes. We are evaluating them every step along the way," Maurer says.
Everything Chad has learned is working. "Not all of our numbers are in yet, but so far, we are seeing a 40% reduction in our setup time." I could not be happier with bringing this training to our company and getting employees where we need to be in a year's time," he said.
Rayson Company is a contract job shop that makes tools and valve components for the oil and gas industry. The company is located at 1311 Judiway Street, Houston, Texas 77018.

The summer season of 2015 came with the most curious phenomenon: not one, but two televised anime concerning the profession of voice actors. Granted, there have been characters in other media that are introduced as seiyuus, but none so far have tackled the business of actually being one. Here I will describe the currently airing Sore ga Seiyuu as well as Suzakinishi the Animation which has its origins in the business and culture surrounding the people lending their voices to the characters that animate every game and anime.
Sore ga Seiyuu is a 4-koma webnovel/doujinshi by the doujin circle Hajimemashite., composed of the artist Hata Kenjirou and writer Asano Masumi(あさのますみ). The anime adaptation is produced by GONZO, with Yokote Michico doing the script composition. Hata is well known as the mangaka for Weekly Shonen Sunday's Hayate the Combat Butler. Asano Masumi(浅野真澄) is a veteran voice actor who also writes children's stories and song lyrics as あさのますみ.
The comic and anime revolves around the lives of novices Ichinose Futaba, Moesaki Ichigo, and Kohana Rin as they progress through their careers. Each episode is basically a lecture on the kinds of jobs seiyuu receive as well its particulars. Everything from a basic recording session to promotional events is detailed in a short and precise way. Certain events are also based on Asano's own personal experiences.
Its most notable feature is that it has actual seiyuus appear and voice as themselves, leaving our protagonists star-struck and showing the viewers a comparison between the positions of the veterans and the newbies.
Suzakinishi the Animation is the adaptation of the popular radio series Suzakinishi, hosted by Suzaki Aya and Nishi Asuka. As an adaptation of a radio show it is possibly the first of its kind. The anime itself is five minutes long, with each episode based on a topic or conversation brought up in the radio series. The characters are Suzaki Aya and Nishi Asuka, voiced by themselves. It plays fast and loose, changing the ages of the two personalities to high schoolers and placing them in the situations and gags from the radio show.
With one show about seiyuu, their industry, and the work they do, and the other based on actual seiyuus and their personalities, the topic of voice actors may seem to have grown considerably large enough to have this form of attention drawn to them. But it is true that seiyuus and the fan culture surrounding them were already popular even ten years ago, with CD and concert ticket sales selling strongly for the major talents as well as the time-honored practice within the anime and game industries of making referential jokes based on a particular actor's previous roles. So what could possibly be the catalyst for the production of the two series just mentioned?
The first answer that comes to mind would be the anime SHIROBAKO, a series well regarded as if not the first, then the best ones about the entire animation production process. It just so happens to share a script composer with Sore ga Seiyuu. As an anime about anime large parts of it is about seiyuus, with one of the five main characters representing its field.
Its success (already high amount of viewers on TV and online, consistently strong sales of DVDs and Blurays) may have influenced the decision to adapt a web manga/doujinshi, not a traditional medium for such projects (according to Asano herself, the convenience store chain Lawson stepped in early on to sponsor the series). This may also be why Yokote was brought in, as her documentary approach to SHIROBAKO can also be found in Sore ga Seiyuu. Both series have been commented on by other seiyuu as being something they can identify and sympathize with.
One thing to note is that the anime, which is a full length, one cour broadcast attempts to elaborate on the concepts that the original manga is content to leave in the typical 4-koma pattern. Naturally this means a complete adjustment to the form. In the anime the focus is on actual characterization and development over observations and punchlines – the result is drastically different from the web manga. While the first doujinshi was sold in 2011 the strategy used in the anime virtually makes it SHIROBAKO with seiyuu. Futaba, Ichigo, and Rin represent different "types" of seiyuu the same way the leads in SHIROBAKO represent five different components to anime production. Our main character, Futaba, is introduced talking with her stuffed doll, which will be used as the exact same exposition device as Miyamori's dolls did.
With Suzakinishi the Animation the reason for an adaptation could be in the fact that it is currently one of the most consistent weekly radio programs in terms of listeners each episode as well as both personalities already having several major roles under their belt. As to the actual content… that's probably left unsaid.
I would be hard pressed to call this a "trend" rather than a sort of coincidence that put these two shows in the same season. But it does put the metaphorical spotlight on the people who work, day by day, through their voices within the characters they play. I think the attention's deserved.

Wirehouse Business Plan
3 RepliesJump to last post
I am trying to put together my business plan for a wire. I feel that my target market is strong and I have great marketing ideas to attract and find said clients, however I am at a loss to the type of products I should be pushing. I am not an expert in specific products as my experience is limited in this biz. I was a cold caller/jrbroker at a boutiqe prior. The client ages may range from 35-75, High income earners to High net worth. Also, I feel that I should be including financial goals in terms of AUM by certain time periods, but I have no clue what I would expect to be producing and don't want to talk out of my a**. Any advice would be helpful as I've never put together a business plan aside from undergrad work. Thanks for the help.
I have a couple of years in production under my belt, so I am pretty new as well but having good success.
Your business plan is how you sell yourself to your potential manager. You have to show him or her that you have the drive and discipline to make it in this industry. I would start with the understanding that your business plan will drastically change over time and the plan must change with what is working for you. The number one goal no matter how you prospect is to get appointments!!! For example, if you have no network then you better start cold calling. 150-200 calls a day is a good start. If you have a large network, then your goals should be to set a certain number of appointments each week.
Your business plan should include your target market, which I am sure is full of doctors, lawyers, retirees, etc. What I realized is that everyone else is prospecting these groups as well. It's a good start, but try to find a good niche where you can tap into a market that is rarely marketed to.
Make is activity oriented. I will cold call 4 hours a day without interruptions in one hour blocks. I will knock on doors 6 hours per week. I will (fill in the blank)... and so on.
Activities will get you prospects. Prospects will become clients with good follow up. Clients will bring in assets. Assets will get you GDC.
Good luck.

1990 Infiniti Q45 Touring 4.5 Litre Quad Cam V8
Brilliant, Nothing will Prise Me out of it, Ever!!!
Climate Control LED Display works Intermittently.
General Comments:
I was Looking to buy a Used Late Model Mitsubishi Magna (Diamante in US), When I spotted Her sitting in the Dealers Yard. It was Love at First Sight!!
"Black Betty", as I call Her, had just been Complianced in Australia after recently arriving from Japan. I had Driven many Cars that week, but nothing compared to my Test Dive in the Infiniti.
It was Such a Beautiful Car, I couldn't actually see Myself Owning it, but the Price was a Bargain- Cheaper than Many Inferior Vehicles.
I was concerned Insurance would be Expensive, but a Quick Phone call revealed it was Cheaper than for My Current Old Hack!!
I have never regretted Buying it, except for the fact that People keep bugging Me to Ask if I'm the Owner, and What sort of Car is it?? This happens at Most Shopping Malls and Car Parks. People actually think they are Looking at an Aston Martin or Maserati!! When I tell them it's an Infiniti, I then have to Explain about the Marque.
It gets far more Stares than a Porsche or Mercedes and You have to get used to People pulling up beside You on Motorways to get a Better Look!!
But it Drives Like a Dream, is Comfortable and Spares Don't seem all that much a Problem as they are Available new from Nissan or Used from US Wrecking Yards, for Bargain Prices. I have also seen complete Engines with Low K's for $1000 or so, in Australia.
This is the Only Car that I have ever Owned that I can never see Myself Selling. Even if I Run it into the Ground, I will probably Restore it. It wouldn't matter what You Spent on it if You were never going to get Rid of it...
My whole Family Loves it and I have found it Ideal on Long Trips up the Coast. It has almost every Luxury Known to Man, and I never Tire of Driving it, although I am Starting to use it less Frequently to Preserve it.
I almost Bought a Lexus LS400, but I thought the Infiniti was Better in Most areas and it was Cheaper and More Exclusive. It is Also Much Sportier, Sounds and Handles Like a V8 Supercar when Hammered, although it is also a Wonderful Cruiser.
If there's any Drawback with this Car, it's Telling People it's a 1990 Model- It Doesn't Look it!!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Each post can only have 50,000 characters (and spoiler tags will take up a good portion of that space, and if we add any images or long explanations this space will go that much quicker)... it will likely be far more than just 1 post by the time we are done with it... and mods (to my knowledge) can't just add a post anywhere they want, since it always goes to the end of the thread. So as soon as they fill up that first post either stuff has to go or the next post will be divided from the rest of the stuff. It's why I suggest 2 threads... unless the mod wants to reserve the first 10 or so posts (If they do post 10 or so blank posts in a row and hope Claymore doesn't run for 10 more years thus requiring more than however many posts they reserved). Also what if the mod leaves... then a new mod just can't edit the other mods stuff.
These are just some of the reasons why I say it's best to divide this suggestion up if the mods choose to do it.

Just throwing suggestions around, but maybe some sort of wiki would be a better medium for this than a forum. So instead of the glossary being a huge sticky thread, it might be better off as a one-post sticky that just links to the alphabetical index of a wiki with all this info.
You'd have version tracking and a revert button and all that fun stuff, and everyone would be able to add content instead of juggling two threads and bothering a mod/the OP about every change.

Nah; Wiki's are generally a bad idea, because everyone has their own viewpoint.
Their actually is a Claymore wiki, which is all but abandoned because of that very reason; you can't have a wiki for a story like this, because their is very little that is spelled out that everyone 100% agrees with.
Even a wiki for terms...It would just get edited and edited endlessly...at least a forum gives everyone the opportunity to say why on the edits that they do.

On wiki you can also say why you want to edit sth and why sth was edited. But I agree, wiki is a bad idea. Obviously Wikipedia is out of the question so we would have to create our own or use Claymore Wiki that Shieky mentioned about. The problem is all of the abbreviations and most of names aren't even official but our own, created on Animesuki. Raciella - name created by tenken 2 years ago, ZACS (don't remember who created this one, gangsta?) aren't commonly used in other places than animesuki (if they are then only thanks to Animesuki memebers who frequent these other places also). But here it's like a canon now.
There are also discrepancies, for example what's the name of Teresa's technique? Pre-emptive youki sensing (PYS) or pre-emptive perception (p.e.p)?
Plus the world of Claymore, while being quite coherent and interesting is a bit small IMO for a whole wiki. This forum IS the wiki of Claymore.

It's not exactly request for a new thread but for a poll in Claymore chapter threads. It would be nice to have a graphic representation of people's opinions of chapters just like it once was in Anime Episodes threads. I'm guessing that many people would be dissatisfied with current development but I'm more interested to see whether some people liked it for a change. IMO it was the best chapter in years.

2 things,
1. It is better to edit your original post rather than post additional comments one after another.
2. You should try posting this in the image thread since I am sure others would like to see your work and it does belong under images/art.

This wouldn't be a thread where you could request a translation (or there could be, but if you don't like it there could be a rule against it). This would be a thread where there would be a translation. Often, during discussions we notice some ambiguity or unclearness of some dialogues/monologues/comments and often we receive an answer to it. This thread would be a place where all more difficult or debatable scenes could be found.
If it didn't work out it could always be closed and moderated (where too long translations would be deleted) or the whole thread could be deleted. There's no harm in trying, is there?
Back me up people

I think this is a really good idea. Its quite problematic with ambiguity and misinterpretation by some TL's. This would enhance our experiences on the debates and leaves more room for discussion on TL in particular as this issue always get a heated debated in the current chapter thread.
About the time period of posting a chapter page: For me it makes sense to start a clear time period to debate and deliberate on choosing a TL page from a particular X chapter from X volume within a 1 weeks time. And the next week we proceed on debating for the chosen page for one week time limit. And repeat the process the next week. This way only a page is posted every other week and it encourages to engage in areas where most people have doubts within a controlled time interval and clearly define a rule to discuss on that particular weeks TL page. I realise this might require sometime to moderate or to control the off topics here but its worth the talk imho.
I also like this idea as it could serve as a reference point to clarify some TL issues which could be deliberated here alone and not scattered on other threads. Hope this helps the process and help such a thread get started

Teenage: The Creation of Youth Culture
Pimlico, 2008 - Social Science - 551 pages
In 1945, just as the war was ending, 'the teenager' arrived. This is the story of how we got to that moment - the century and a half of ferment, folly, and angst that created a separate Teen Age in Europe and America. Jon Savage goes back to 1875 (when the first bestselling teenage memoir appeared and the first teenage mass murderer was tried), and takes us all the way through to the death of Anne Frank. In between we roam London, New York, Paris and Berlin with hooligans, Apaches, and other gangs; explore free love with Rupert Brooke and eternal youth with Peter Pan; see commerce and advertising grab a new market and watch the relentless militarisation of youth, from the Boy Scouts to the Hitler Youth.Savage describes all ranks and kinds of people, from flappers and zootsuiters to the Bright Young Things, the unemployed and the Lost Generation. The book rings with music, from Ragtime to Swing, and the stories come fast and furious, comic, poignant, painfully moving. Following the endless efforts of adults to contain, channel and control youth and the ideals and rebellion of young people determined to make their own way, Teenage covers two world wars - one which obliterated the dreams of a romantic generation; the other which unleashed the power of America - and the teenager - on the world. This brilliant mix of wide-ranging research, fast narrative and penetrating analysis, stands entirely alone. It will startle, disturb and amaze, opening readers' eyes to a history never described before.

An issuer of a bond can purchase bond insurance to guarantee scheduled payments of interest and principal on the bond to its bondholders in case the issuer defaults. Once the issuer purchases bond insurance, its credit rating is replaced with the insurer's credit rating. Premiums are a measure of the perceived risk of failure of the issuer and are paid to the insurer in either lump sums or installments.
Being bonded gives issuers the ability to leverage business growth. With the increased stature of having the insurer's credit rating, a business can feel safer in taking risks to improve and grow the business. This is especially true in the construction and financial industries. A bonded business can obtain unbiased criticism from a credit professional and seek advice in underwriting projects.
West Bend's surety division provides a common sense and flexible approach to bond underwriting. Their underwriters are experienced and innovative. While traditional insurance is designed to compensate the insured party against unforeseen losses, a surety bond is an agreement that provides monetary compensation to a third party (obligee) if the insured party (principal) fails to perform specific acts within a stated period.
West Bend's surety operation provides a reliable, fast, solutions-oriented, and financially-sound partner for our bond customers. Since 1971, West Bend has maintained an A (Excellent) or better rating by A.M. Best, an organization recognized worldwide as the benchmark for assessing insurers' financial strength.
West Bend's surety division works in partnership with us to service your bond needs; working together is the best way to evaluate the bond needs for any business.

Hurt by an expensive proxy fight and a golden parachute payment to its former chairman, Baltimore Bancorp saw its earnings drop by 44 percent during the second quarter.
The parent company of the Bank of Baltimore reported a second-quarter net income of $3 million, or 24 cents a share, compared with earnings of $5.4 million, or 42 cents a share, during the 1990 second quarter.
The net income was severely hurt by the $1.3 million the bank spent to fight a takeover attempt by dissident stockholders. Another $1.8 million was paid to Harry L. Robinson, who was removed as chairman and chief executive officer at the end of June. He was entitled to the payment under the terms of a contract that runs until Jan. 31, 1994, bank officials said.

If you cannot or do not want to breastfeed your baby, you will naturally want to find the best alternative food. There are several major brands of infant formula to choose from. You should consult with your baby's doctor before you choose one.
Formula comes in three basic types. All of which are equally nutritious varying only in cost and formulation.
● Ready to feed- These usually come in a can and are prepared to be poured directly into the bottle. This is the most convenient and also the most expensive.
● Concentrated- This is a liquid formula that must be mixed with water.
● Powdered- This is a dry formula that, like the concentrate, must be mixed with water.
When using formulas that must be mixed take extra care in the proper proportions. Adding more water than recommended can result in a formula that doesn't give the baby proper nutrition, and adding less water than recommended may result in overfeeding. It is also very important that all utensils and hands are clean when preparing bottles. Proper sanitation must be followed to ensure the milk you feed your baby is safe.
There are some real advantages to bottle feeding. For some mothers they far outweigh the benefits of breastfeeding.
● Longer satisfaction for baby.
● Easy monitoring of intake.
● More freedom.
● More participation for father.
For a fully bottle-fed baby you will need at least eight full size (8 ounce) bottles. You should also have at least 4 smaller four ounce bottles for feedings when baby is very young. Buy extra nipples and keep them sterile and ready in case a nipple gives poor flow. Some bottles are used with throw away plastic liners which can reduce the amount of air your baby swallows.
It is recommended that you wash bottles and nipples in the dishwasher, since the high heat of the drying cycle will help to kill the germs. If you don't have this appliance, wash bottles and nipples in warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly with clear water. Some pediatricians recommend sterilizing the bottles. You should discuss this with your physician. If you do choose to sterilize, here are some suggested techniques.
Wash bottles and nipples in warm soapy water. Place all bottle parts in boiling water for 20 minutes. Prepare the formula according to package directions. Fill each bottle with enough formula for a single feed. Cap tightly with the nipples and refrigerate.
Wash bottles and nipples in warm soapy water. Mix formula in a large clean container. Fill each bottle with enough formula for a single feed, invert the nipples and loosely screw on the nipple rings. Put the filled bottles in a large pot with about three inches of water. Cover the pot and boil for about 25 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let cool, still covered for about an hour. When the bottles are cool, remove from the pot, secure the nipple rings tightly, and refrigerate.
You can make your baby's feedings consistently successful and happy by remembering to do a few simple things.
● Hold the baby in a semi reclining position during feedings.
● Switch arms with each feeding, baby will look at you while he feeds and this will promote normal eye muscle development.
● Burp your baby with every one to two ounces consumed.
● Don't rush things and allow baby to call it quits. This way you know baby is fully satisfied.
● Make feeding your baby a special time. Be sure to cuddle him and hold him close. Do not prop the bottle and leave him alone for feedings. Interacting with a loving person during feedings helps him to thrive emotionally and develop trust in you and those who care for him.
Feeding your baby has far greater significance than simply providing proper nutrition. A baby whose hunger cries are consistently answered develops a sense of trust, security, and well being. A baby who is smiled at, talked to , and cuddled develops a sense of emotional security. All of these things occur during a feeding. Feeding provides many opportunities for your baby to express affection towards you. Feeding time is very special and should be cherished as a special time to bond with your baby.

Hats off to First Lady Michelle Obama for her commitment to a national childhood obesity initiative with details soon to be released. Kudos to U.S. Surgeon General Regina Benjamin who offered very strong and urgent words in her Vision for a Healthy and Fit Nation 2010. No one should be caught off guard by anything either of these leaders have shared with the nation. In 2001, then Surgeon General Dr. David Satcher, in his Call to Action to Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity, gave us a peek into the future if we did not have a united effort to reverse the trend. So what will these fresh words by new leaders mean to you or me?
It is time for each and every person to take a look at what their role can be to help create and implement simple solutions to eat, move, and enjoy a healthy balanced lifestyle for all. This must start with a personal plan. What can you do to improve your own health? How can your family create a plan for healthy change? What can you impact within your work world to guide a culture of health in the workplace? What partnerships and associations can you impact in your community to make a healthy difference?
The nonprofit I direct, Healthy Kids Challenge (HKC), has been guiding leaders to help create solutions for kids and families around this issue since 1998. I guess we haven't resolved the problem yet, huh? It's huge, it's challenging, it's important and we've learned one thing for absolute certain; change has to start with people who are aware of the need, who have an understanding of the value and importance, and who are motivated and willing to take small steps to help guide personal and systems change. Until then, we're another resource on the web, another toolkit on the shelf. However, once the light bulb has been turned on, HKC has been able to guide schools, community programs, business, and healthcare organizations to successful healthy, sustainable, budget friendly changes.
A few success stories from HKC follow: (And, this is the tip of the iceberg!)
- Physical activity and healthy snacks a common thread in community library preschool programs
- The physician office waiting room transformed into a teaching environment with healthy messaging "while you wait"
- Student led activity and cooking clubs, worksite meetings held during a walk around the complex
- Teachers challenging each other to eat more fruits and veggies along with their students
- Administrative support for professional development time for helping school wellness teams create a healthier school environment
HKC offers tools, training, and resource support but the answer starts with going beyond all of that and individuals and groups deciding it's time to take action and "Make a Difference Today for Tomorrow". What is your role in this issue at such a critical time? We'd like to hear from you. What can we do to help? It's time to go beyond my blog and take action, together!

Hi everyone and thanks for stopping by. I want to share a cute little birthday card featuring Joset Designs along with some wonderful dies from the Els van de Burgt Studio, all from Elizabeth Craft Designs. This little cupcake just couldn't be any cuter and a great way to send a sweet birthday greeting. From the glittery frosting to the festive bow - who wouldn't want to make a wish? The finished card is 5.5" square on a base of 100lb. Soft Finish Cardstock. I will be making a few more of these for the birthdays in our family coming in February.

"Myth must be kept alive. The people who can keep it alive are the artists of one kind or another." -Joseph Campbell
Farthest House, with its rich threads of mysticism, explores jealous, betrayal, and ultimately the healing power of self-forgiveness. When Willow is born and her mother dies moments later, only the narrator of this spellbinding, debut novel knows the death isn't from complications of childbirth. Amelie-Anais, who lived in France and is now buried on the Nebraska hilltop where the family home resides, tells this story of deceit and survival from beyond the grave. Following Willow's life and Willow's incredible passion to paint despite loneliness, a physical handicap, and being raised by a father plagued with secrets, Amelie-Anais weaves together the lives of four generations.

My name is Ray W. and I accept spent the accomplished 40 years belief and arena every anatomy of gambling/betting systems in existence. From the time I absolved into my aboriginal basin anteroom at the age of 16 I've been absorbed with every aspect of it. I assumption that makes me somewhat of an expert, if there absolutely is such a thing. It's not just me that's absorbed though.According to government statistics, 86% of Americans accept appear bank on something in the accomplished 12 months. Approximately abandoned 1/3 of the citizenry consists of non-bettors. They accompaniment that 46% of adults activity in casinos and seven out of ten common non-casino gambling. The primary antecedent of which is horse racing, sports betting, accompaniment lotteries and online or clandestine agenda games.48 states accept some anatomy of legalized bank with abandoned Utah and Hawaii getting the abandoned two that do not. There are currently 13 states that accept legalized bartering accompaniment sponsored casinos with a absolute of 443 of these establishments. The accumulated gross acquirement for these 443 casinos was $30.74 billion annually. The numbers are absolutely staggering.
Although I, like so abounding others, acquire a abundant accord of amusement from it, any blazon of bank that risks a being accident abundant money to affect their accepted of active (or that of their family) is self-destructive and should be abhorred at all costs. I accept abandoned watched a man lose his absolute aluminum balustrade business brief during a ridiculously continued affair of heads-up gin rummy. Hard to believe, I know.My allure to bank and bank table amateur in particular, is abiding in a abysmal admiration to win every time I play. There is annihilation besetting about my access to bank gambling. In fact, I do aggregate I can to yield as abundant of the activity out of it as possible.The acceptable access consists of abandoned arena amateur that accept no added than a 2% abode advantage (Craps .60%, Baccarat 1.25%, Roulette 2.6% on even-money wagers and Blackjack, even money depending on the use of able "Basic Strategy") and accurate adherence to an iron-clad set of precepts which are the "golden rules" or The 10 Commandments as I like to alarm them.1. Never activity if annoyed or depressed.2. Never activity with added than you can calmly allow to lose.3. Do Not booze alcohol afore or during bank sessions. It is the chloroform the casinos accommodate to abstracted the amateur from their money.4. Keep arena sessions short.5. Always preset a audible backing for bank and Do Not beat that amount.6. If you are activity "negative" about your ambience (the table, dealers, added players or if in a accident cycle) stop activity and leave the table. The tables will still be there if your affection changes.7. Avoid arena after a bright plan of activity (betting strategy, min./max. wagers).8. Do Not access the admeasurement of your bets if losing. Access wagers abandoned if winning. This will absolute losses and let accomplishment run up.9. Apperceive that the action is not amid you and the casino… it is amid you and you alone. Always beforehand your self-discipline.10. Always abdicate if winning.Winning consistently at these four bank table amateur is not that difficult. I do it all the time. There are arena and activity strategies that I accept accouterment the advantage from the "house" to the amateur in any accustomed abbreviate affair of play.
The aloft 10 rules of bank accept been handed down to me by the a lot of adroit able gamblers I accept accepted over the years. They are capital to able and connected winning. Anyone who is not able to chase these rules has no business in a bank bank with absolute money.Life, like gambling, is a connected action with the unknown. If you knew what the aftereffect would be in beforehand it would yield all the fun out of it."The austere charlatan is a man who is at war with chance. In the bank there is, whether he wins or loses, certainty… he consults the table, which speaks to him through the dice, as the Greeks consulted the oracles, and the answer rewards him by cogent him now, not next anniversary or next year, whether the choices he makes are appropriate or wrong."- William Pearson"The Muses of Ruin"Best of luck,Ray W.

CINOs, RINOs, it's all the same. Whether they're Catholics-in-Name-Only or Republicans-in-Name- Only, they just can't resist not keeping their powder dry. Take, for example, the current situation of the vacancy in the Court due to the passing of Justice Scalia. The RINOs just can't keep their mouths shut. Yes, El Presidente has the authority to nominate a Justice to fill the vacant seat but the Senate also has the authority to either confirm or reject that nominee. They don't have to say beforehand what they intend to do and they can continue to review and reject, if necessary, any nomination put forth by the lame-duck president that attempts to denigrate the memory of Justice Scalia. If the lame-duck attempts a "recess-appointment" that appointment is only temporary according to the Constitution.
Then there is the matter of the CINOs on the court who have the ability, even now, to control the rulings of the court in favor of traditional standards of morality. But, they have shown no semblance of unity in favor of such standards even though they continue to claim the label Catholic. What a disgrace!

Sorry About Losing Your Rights, Ladies. Want a Cookie?
Even though Gov. Pat McCrory of North Carolina campaigned with the promise that he would focus on the economy and not the relentless conservative obsession with uterine control, he not only signed a new bill dramatically reducing access to abortion on Monday, but his administration worked with the House to craft the legislation. The bill is a hodgepodge of the trendy abortion restrictions adopted by so many other states, including Texas: eliminating insurance coverage for abortion, making patients take abortion pills at the clinic even though it's safer at home, and requiring clinics to meet ambulatory surgical standards, even though such regulations are considered unnecessary and onerous by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. It's an insult to doctors, to women, and to all people who aren't distraught by the notion that someone, somewhere is having sex without her express permission.
But McCrory has a plan to make it all OK: cookies! Yes, the governor came out of his mansion to greet pro-choice protesters, who were dressed in '50s-era fashions to represent the era that Republicans want to return women to, and gave them a bunch of cookies. Planned Parenthood Action Fund of Central NC posted a picture.
If McCrory thought the gesture would make him look like a generous sort who reaches out to people who disagree, then it backfired, and not just because he avoided actually meeting with opponents about the law before he signed it. Next to sandwiches, cookies are probably the most potent edible symbol of the belief that women's role is to shut up, give up their ambitions, and return to the kitchen. While it's unlikely that McCrory was deliberately trying to tell the protesters to know their place, that's how the gesture reads. After Rick Perry's mansplaining tour of Texas, it's hard to tell anymore if Republican governors have given up even trying to pretend they respect the female members of the opposition. At this rate, the next Republican governor to sign an anti-choice bill is going to greet protestors with a basketful of aprons emblazoned with anti-choice slogans.

Born in Manchester, he studied in New York in the early 1990s before settling in London in 1996. Since then the musicians he has worked with read like a Who's Who of major jazz talent: Conte Candoli, Junior Mance, Kenny Davern, Harry Edison, Art Farmer, Warren Vache and Ralph Sutton are just some of the transatlantic greats who have benefitted from his incisive drumming. First call for many of the top British jazzers, he has a long history of working with Dave Newton and has appeared on numerous recordings for Alan Barnes' Woodville label.
