Jonnie West chose to play at West Virginia. Playing in West Virginia would have been enough to invite the spotlight of walking in the footsteps of a statewide legend and the taunts from opposing crowds, but he went all in, to the same school as the legend because he wanted to be coached by John Beilein, only to have Beilein leave for Michigan.
Jonnie West chose to work for the Warriors. Yes it was a fast-track NBA job no one would have turned down, and few others with a different last name or Golden State relationship could have even hoped for, but he stepped into the unique challenge again.
He ducks nothing. The son of Jerry West played at the same college, got into the same business and is part of the same organization where The Logo reigns as a minority owner and prominent voice in basketball operations under owner Joe Lacob and general manager Bob Myers.
Jonnie West has moved up to associate general manager of the NBA D-League affiliate in Santa Cruz, Calif., in a shared role with Patrick Sund, the son of another long-time NBA executive, Rick Sund, a job bump announced Friday. Jonnie will continue to scout for the parent club about 75 miles to the north. Jonnie will still be trying to build a career beyond a 26 year old far, far down the front-office depth chart.
And Jonnie will still be the son of one of the greatest GMs in the history of this or any other North American league.
"This is an opportunity," Jerry West said. "There's no question it's an opportunity. But you have to seize upon the opportunity. You've got to outwork other people. You've got to be more prepared than other people. And I think that's exactly what you'll see from him."
Jonnie West has worked in Santa Cruz management the previous two seasons, as director of basketball operations and then with a promotion to director of player personnel. Before that, he interned for superstar agent Arn Tellem — the West and Tellem families have been close for decades — at the same Wasserman Media Group where Myers became a prominent agent before leaving for the Golden State front office. Jonnie West and Myers have also known each other for years, since Myers was finishing his UCLA career, a couple miles from the West's home, in 1997.
"I've dealt with it my entire life," Jonnie said of the famous family name. "When (Jerry) first went to Memphis, he was really the face of the franchise, which he didn't want. He wanted the attention to be on the players, which it should be. Playing high school basketball in Memphis, I started to get some of that pressure and people would ask me questions. I just never really felt it. Then going to West Virginia and playing where he played, it was always a question that people asked me. I've always said the same thing. I appreciate and love him for everything he's done for me and all the accomplishments that he's had, but I'm my own person. I may be trying to follow the same path that he did, but I'm my own person. I'm only doing this because I want to do it. I have his support, which means the world to me.
"Probably on a daily basis we talk basketball. Growing up, I was around him a lot during drafts. I was in the war room with him during the drafts from an early age, so I experienced a lot growing up and got experience that a lot of people just don't have the opportunity to have. I was able to learn a lot even before I began working in the NBA."
Ryan West understands. Jonnie's older brother is also climbing steps in an NBA front office, except Ryan is doing it as assistant director of scouting with the Lakers, the team their father is most identified with. Jonnie doesn't have that connection, but attending the same school and then working in the same organization as Jerry West is asking for a comparison no one can win.
"The one thing that we constantly have discussions about are players that we think are good and players that we think are not quite as good," Jerry West said. "And it's really interesting, at least in my family with my two kids, that goes on all the time. They tell me I'm crazy, I tell them they're crazy. To me, I think the strength of anyone who works within this organization is to pride yourself on looking at players, being objective about them, and I think that's exactly what he will do. I honestly could never change his mind about his player that has something unique to contribute to a team. I don't think I could change his mind. And I think that's good in many respects."
Patrick Sund, 28, is entering his sixth season in Golden State, after most recently serving as manager of scouting. Rick Sund has been an executive with the Hawks, SuperSonics, Mavericks, Pistons and Bucks.

Baggage between airlines
Read the baggage agreement between different airlines
When you are traveling with various airlines or on a codeshare flight between LATAM and other companies, the amount of baggage permitted is determined by the Most Significant Carrier, MSC, the section to check until the next stop, which is not always the most permissive or restrictive itinerary.
What is the Most Significant Carrier?
This rule states that in itineraries with several flights of different airlines, the baggage policy of the company that makes the most important or the longest geographic trip is the Most Significant Carrier.
The Most Significant Carrier is defined by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and is divided into three parts:
Area 1:
North America, South America, Central America and Hawaii.
Area 2:
Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
Area 3:
Asia, Guam and Oceania.
Air Traffic Division according to IATA
The Most Significant Carrier is decided by determining which areas or sub-areas are crossed. It is defined in the following way:
- The baggage policy of the first carrier flying in between continents applies. For example: from America to Europe.
- If you are traveling within the same continent, the policy of the first carrier flying in between the sub areas applies. For example: from South America to Central America.
- On flights within sub areas, the policy of first carrier to fly across an international border applies. For example: on a trip from Concepcion to Lima with a stopover in Santiago, we respect the baggage policy of the airline that operates the Santiago to Lima flight.
If the airlines have not published their baggage policy, the policy of the operator you Checked in with, at the beginning of the trip, applies.
There is an exception for flights to or from the United States or Canada.
When your itinerary includes a trip whose origin or destination is in the United States or Canada, the baggage policy of the first airline you travel with is applicable. It does not matter if the trip includes a stopover. Except in codeshare flights, to or from the United States. In this case, the Most Significant Carrier is the marketing carrier (the one who sold you the ticket).
If you have any questions, please contact our Contact Center.

Awesome beach for families - gentle waves, lots of fishFlag review
Great Beach for relaxing on the sand, snorkeling or playing in the water. Beautiful beach with clean soft sand. We had a great time at this beach. our 3yr old loved playing in the water and building sand castles on shore. The waves are small and it is fairly calm and gentle. If snorkeling - you will start to see fish literally 10 ft from waters edge. There are some rocks and coral further out - I saw many beautiful fish and several sea turtles. There are also bathrooms and showers at entrance, near the small parking lot.
Tips for Families
Get there early - especially if you plan on using the tiny parking lot - it might hold 20 - 25 cars.

My Kid's Review
Was this review helpful to you?Yes
Been coming here since I was a young kid. Parents have even had their vows renewed twice here. Kapalua Bay is a WONDERFUL calm and relatively small beach on the West Side of Maui. Tired of the action of Kaanapali and Kahana? Come here to relax. This is not a good beach for "beach activities" in my opinion, but thats why its so great. The waves are always tranquil and the water clean...one of my favorite places to snorkel. I'd recommend any beginner snorkeler to start at Kapalua Bay, its calm, protected...tons of fish and easy to get to and from. So why not 5 stars you say? Well I'm bitter, ever since they've killed Kapalua by tearing the Kapalua Bay Hotel down and putting up vacant over priced condos...
This review should be entitled "Learning to Snorkel in Kapalua Bay." My sister-in-law Liz is native Hawaiian, and she says this is the best place on Maui to learn to snorkel. We rented our snorkeling gear from the Maui Dive Shop (expensive, but excellent fittings) and headed out to Kapalua Bay. I was extremely concerned about safety, especially since my husband could not come on this trip and I was solely responsible for the safety of my two daughters. Coming home without one or both would be very bad. We rented the yellow dive belts, and we wore them every time we went in the water. Even people who live on the island get swept away in currents while snorkeling and swimming, and I did not want to take ...
For the Haoles that want a beach without Man-O-Wars, a spot to sun, and it not been too crowed ya'; go to Sandy Beach. Find it by first heading to Kapalua Bay area, then putting in your GPS to find the Four Seasons resort area and find parking by the hotel circle. They have this awesome 4 net volleyball quad that is wicked. Right on the beach, next to the hotel. It is windy, gives you some great sets to boogie board, body board. You can throw up a surfboard however there is lifeguard on duty. The water like most of the islands doesn't get deep which means the waves crash on shore; so be prepared for some thrashing. Wear a secure suit! I would recommend it for children with floaties and a watch ful eye. It i...

Photographer Mark Menjivar wants to know what's in your fridge. His series You Are What You Eat began in 2007 (it was previously featured on Beautiful/Decay here), and it captured the insides of 60 different people's fridges. Menjivar thought of the series as a portrait project, with food defining someone's identity. Several years later, he revisited some of the fridges. The new photographs depict how lives change over the years, as illustrated by food. For some, their habits have changed drastically, while others, more or less, are the same.
The ingredients in one's fridge tell us a lot. Not only what kind of food they eat, but do they cook regularly, do they drink alcohol, do they like barbecue. And what about fresh produce? When the photographer met with a midwife and science teacher in 2008, they had started a commitment to eating only local produce. In 2012, with ready-made fruit packs in sight, we can see that commitment didn't exactly last. The fridge that was chock-full of takeout containers in 2008 was owned by a bartender. Still a bartender in 2012, he has, according to Menjivar, started eating healthier and lost weight.
You Are What You Eat was originally shot for an exhibition at the Houston Center for Photography. Since the release of the series, the exhibition has travelled to 15 cities. In each city, Menjivar collaborates with communities to create a conversation about food issues in their area. The series will eventually become a book. (via Slate)

Bleeding is the loss of blood. It can happen outside or inside the body. You may bleed when you get a cut or other wound. Bleeding can also be due to an injury to internal organs.
Sometimes bleeding can cause other problems. A bruise is bleeding under the skin. Some strokes are caused by bleeding in the brain. Other bleeding, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, coughing up blood, or vaginal bleeding, can be a symptom of a disease.
Normally, when you bleed, your blood forms clots to stop the bleeding. Severe bleeding may require first aid or a trip to the emergency room. If you have a bleeding disorder, your blood does not form clots normally.

Leg Injuries and Disorders
Your legs are made up of bones, blood vessels, muscles, and other connective tissue. They are important for motion and standing. Playing sports, running, falling, or having an accident can damage your legs. Common leg injuries include sprains and strains, joint dislocations, and fractures.
These injuries can affect the entire leg, or just the foot, ankle, knee, or hip. Certain diseases also lead to leg problems. For example, knee osteoarthritis, common in older people, can cause pain and limited motion. Problems in your veins in your legs can lead to varicose veins or deep vein thrombosis.

Vascular Diseases
The vascular system is the body's network of blood vessels. It includes the arteries, veins and capillaries that carry blood to and from the heart. Problems of the vascular system are common and can be serious. Arteries can become thick and stiff, a problem called atherosclerosis. Blood clots can clog vessels and block blood flow to the heart or brain. Weakened blood vessels can burst, causing bleeding inside the body.
You are more likely to have vascular disease as you get older. Other factors that make vascular disease more likely include
- Family history of vascular or heart diseases
- Pregnancy
- Illness or injury
- Long periods of sitting or standing still
- Any condition that affects the heart and blood vessels, such as diabetes or high cholesterol
- Smoking
- Obesity
Losing weight, eating healthy foods, being active and not smoking can help vascular disease. Other treatments include medicines and surgery.

Abstract: A licence to loot or archaeological rescue? The Treasure Act and Portable Antiquities Scheme in England and Wales
Every country struggles to find ways of controlling the activities of amateurs who search for archaeological objects. England and Wales have developed a unique system of protection in the Treasure Act of 1996 and the Portable Antiquities Scheme. The Act gives legal protection to a small group of finds that qualify as Treasure – precious-metal objects and hoards – and ensures that these are offered to museums, while ensuring finders and landowners receive the full market value. The number of finds qualifying as Treasure has increased from about 25 a year before 1997 to 854 in 2010.
The Portable Antiquities Scheme consists of a network of 50 archaeologists who encourage searchers – mainly metal detector users – voluntarily to report their finds, recording the information on an online database (www.finds.org.uk) which now includes details of nearly 700,000 finds. Despite these spectacular results, which include finds such as the 2,500 gold and silver Anglo-Saxon objects from the Staffordshire hoard and the hoard of 52,500 Roman coins from the Frome hoard, problems with the illegal recovery of objects and their sale abroad remain. The sale of the Roman helmet from Cumbria for £2 GBP at Christie's in October 2010 has led people to question the effectiveness of the Treasure Act. This lecture looks at the problems surrounding these issues and the concerns of archaeologists.

The location of Broadfield House is not ideal from the point of view of a visitor attraction. It is not easily accessible to many people who visit the Red House Cone, which is shown, by the number of visitors to each Museum. There are in excess of 20,000 more visitors to the Cone each year, which is one of the reasons why I would like to look at the option of relocating the entire collection to a single site. Clearly, this would have to entail an expansion of the existing Red House site. I have called for a study on the feasibility of moving the collections and housing them in the Glass Quarter at The Red House Cone.I appreciate that this will not be a process that can happen overnight and there will be a great deal of work that needs to be completed to ensure that we have covered all bases and understand fully the complexity and cost of what we would like to achieve.

5 Things to Watch
1 � First meeting: It�s hard to believe Shelby and A.C. Reynolds � who aren�t only an hour and 15 meetings apart � have never met on the football field in anything other than a scrimmage.
Both teams have football tradition on their side with a ton of trophies/plaques accumulated through the years. Crest lined up against the Rockets the past four seasons in non-conference play and has encountered ACR in the post-season but this is a first for the Golden Lions.
2 � Old friends: Kings Mountain and East Gaston have a lot of ties going back to their days in the former Southwestern Conference in the �70s and �80s. Also, Mountaineer head coach Greg Lloyd and assistant Mark Latham formerly coached with the Warriors.
The two schools are lining up against one another for the first time since 2008. KingsMountain owns a 20-8 edge in the all-time series.
3 � Gaston, again: For the second straight week, three ClevelandCounty teams are hooking up with Gaston opposition. The ClevelandCounty trio had a 2-1 edge last week.
This isn�t anything unusual � the past four years at least, Crest and KingsMountain were in the Big South Conference with the likes of tonight�s foes, Ashbrook and Hunter Huss, respectively.
4 � Surprising stats: The total number of passes thrown by county teams in last week�s opener was a bit revealing.
KingsMountain put the ball in the air 29 times, while Burns flung 20 passes down the field. Shelby went to the air only nine times while Crest only threw it five times.
Game situations (scoreboard, down and distance, etc.), the ability to block the other side�s defensive front, and the experience of quarterback/wide receiver combinations can play into that. It will be interesting to follow those numbers as the season continues to unfold.
5 � Mountain bound: The Gryphons from Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy were excited to win big in their opener (51-6 at Lee Academy), but now will get a better idea what they are up against in the 1A ranks as they travel to face the Rosman Tigers. Rosman beat Brevard 40-27 in its opener.
TJCA knows the Tigers quite well, splitting a pair of games last season. The Gryphons won the regular-season matchup 28-27 on the road but dropped a 26-14 playoff contest at home in the opening round.
If you�re going�
Burns at Hunter Huss -- Take U.S. 74 East into Gastonia; turn right onto Myrtle School Rd., then take a left onto Hudson St. Go about 1.5 miles until you turn left at the second light (Health Dept. will be on right). The school is just ahead on the right.
Crest at Ashbrook -- Take Interstate 85 north to the New Hope Road exit in Gastonia. Turn right (south), cross Franklin Blvd. and continue on New Hope. The school is about four miles ahead on left.
Kings Mountain at East Gaston -- Take Interstate 85 north to the McAdenville exit, turn right and proceed through town, continuing straight as Main Street turns into Hickory Grove Road going north (back across 85). Continue about four miles and turn right on Lane Road. School is a half-mile ahead on left.

Maple Leafs forward Joffrey Lupul was knocked out of Thursday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers after taking a jarring hit in the first period.
Lupul was digging the puck out of the corner in the Leafs' end when Philadelphia's Jay Rosehill and Adam Hall sandwiched him with hits.
He immediately skated off the ice and went to the dressing room with just over seven minutes left in the period.
The team announced on Twitter that he had an upper-body injury and would not return.

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to write a walkthrough of A Hero's Call?
It would be cool if someone would write one.

#2 2018-01-04 17:34:52
Nope. Perhaps later, but no. Besides, if you use your brains it won't need one. I've finished the game without any help and that solidified the thought of 20 bux being spent well.
What is hard is making code that accepts different and sometimes unexpected types of input and still works.
This is what truly takes a large amount of effort on a developer's part.

#4 2018-01-04 18:19:48 (edited by BlindNinja 2018-01-04 18:30:15)
You know, you guys saying stuff like this makes it sound like in the mainstream gaming community, sites like gamefaqs and ign aren't a thing, where depending on the game there's gonna be a guide anywhere from a week to a month right after release, depending on the size of the game and whether or not the poster minds putting something incomplete up with updates later. Just because someone would like a walkthrough doesn't mean you gotta jump on them about it.
I personally wouldn't want a guide up this fast, but to each their own, and there's no harm in asking. If you don't want to look at a guide, don't.

#5 2018-01-04 18:49:37
Yeah, before I lost my vision I played lots of those mainstream games, and knew of those game guide sites, and never went anywhere near them. I just think it's sad when I see people give up so quickly on solving the game themselves so quickly. Where's the fun in that?
Who are you that you think it is your place to tell us what we can or can't say? I don't know how things are where you live, but where I live we have freedom of speech. If you don't like what we have to say, there isn't anybody holding a gun to your head making you read it.

No walkthrough needed go play.
#7 2018-01-04 20:57:24
It's a little too new (less one week old) and I don't think very many people have even finished it yet.
I know I haven't, and I've dumped a lot of hours into it that I really should have spent on other matters requiring my attention...
I think the best you can hope for are audio playthroughs, at least for the first few months.
#8 2018-01-04 21:07:40
sorry to say this, but I am going to need a walkthrough for this game before I consider buying it.
I don't have the user guide because the game is not installed so Please explain the default keys for the PC version.
#9 2018-01-04 23:27:17
There's a difference between a user guide and a walkthrough which do you want?
#10 2018-01-05 00:24:21
I was just wondering that is all.
I am enjoying the game even without one.
#11 2018-01-05 00:31:02
I want a walkthrough

Liam has done some playthroughs in the past. You can visit his YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/liamerven
#13 2018-01-05 02:55:41
I'm not going to do that.
I would rather have a text walkthrough instead of playthrough.
#14 2018-01-05 03:30:19
once I finish, I could write one. I finished 2 areas of the game and only somethings in the mines in main story. Completed a ton of quests as well. When I finish the game, I'll gladly write one. If people don't want to see it, don't open the topic that's all.

#16 2018-01-05 05:13:07
well when I can be bothered playing it I won't be looking for walkthroughs. they just spoil the game. think there must be something wrong with me judging by the threads about this game on here but I've owned it since the day it came out and only played about 20 mins and got bored.
#17 2018-01-05 05:26:15
Some people like walkthroughs, some don't. Some really don't like missing out on stuff. Some want to find every nook and cranny on their own without help.
Someone asking for a walkthrough shouldn't be negatively judged. Just because they ask doesn't actually mean they're "throwing in the towel". Maybe they're stuck on one quest, or would like a handy way to do a certain boss, or are interested in finding secrets, or want to know what sort of skills they can expect on this or that type of character.
People were forever and ever asking the same questions in Manamon, and back when I thought that game had a future, I wrote a walkthrough. It didn't, and people kept asking their questions, so that told me everything I need to know about the creation of guides for this community, sadly. I suspect AHC will have a much better shelf life, and is thus more deserving of a more comprehensive guide or walkthrough, but I won't be the one to do it.
Let's lay off the judgments, guys. Some people want spoilers, want hand-holding, want to know all secrets. Some want to explore. It is not up to us to dictate how someone else best enjoys a pastime.

Writing a walkthrough for A Heros Call will be a challenge, because of the way the different choices in the game effects the story.
If you like the post, then please give it a thumps up.
Feel free to contact me privately if you have something in mind. If you do so, then please send me a mail instead of using the private message on the forum, since I don't check those very often.
Happy gaming... :D
#20 2018-01-05 08:49:40
Incidentally, it feels to me like a lot of the choices -don't actually affect the story very much. Some do, and hugely, but many don't. No matter how rude you are to the NPCs who try and join your party, for instance, they'll join, be useful, and do what they're supposed to do as far as I know. It's not like there's a hidden stat - let's call it rapport - which, if it's too low, will screw you out of something good. The game also does seem to like three or four versions of "yes" sometimes. The really upbeat super-positive, the snarky positive, the grudging acceptance.

Myself, I tend to try the game without any assistance first time, but I will admit if I feel like I'm getting no where or constantly getting hammered then I will either ask for specific info or use a walkthru, particularly because I tend to be a completionist. this began with megaman x2 on the Snes where I used a walkthru in place of a guide as I found getting even a vague start in the game hugely difficult. It actually turned out I'd already found various boosting and other items, but didn't realize what they were without a walkthru to help.
Manamon is the main accessible game I've most seriously had to do this in, since it seemed whatever I did with manamon training I always got slaughtered, and I seemed to be just grinding and grinding and grinding, that being said, I couldn't manage a sustained playthrough even with Jayde's very well written walkthru, though that likely has more to do with time than anything else, and I would like to get through the game at some point to see where it goes.
King of dragon pass is a game where I looked up a few bits of extra info (especially about hero quests), to make my playthrough easier, though I wouldn't have used a full walkthru even if one for such a branching game were possible.
Hopefully Hero's call will be like Entombed or A dark room when I get it, a game I can play through and explore from end to end on my own, but if I need help I'll ask rather than give up, and if I need lots of help I'll be glad of a walkthru if one exists.

Do anyone remember the player's guides books that would come out after the game was release?
I remember I had a few of those myself.
I only had three of them from what I can remember.
Of course I had sight to be able to read them.
#24 2018-01-06 07:55:38
I really hope we get a walkthrough because there are some parts of the game I just get stuck on and sometimes I don't want to play because of it. Agree with Jade and Blind Ninja - if someone likes to play with a walkthrough so they can use it when they get stuck, then that's how they enjoy playing and no one should be judged for that. Gotta say I'm a new member here, and although I've seen a lot of good members spreading positivity and helping people out I'm not a huge fan of the negative, judgmental, snarky replies I see to some people who are earnestly asking a question when they're stuck in a game.
But I do hope a walkthrough pops up eventually, I'd like to finish the game and there are some downright unpleasant bits in quests I just can't get past no matter how hard I try.
#25 2018-01-06 14:09:26
I've actually thought about making one eventually, although my BD3 one was already hard enough for me to sit down and actually try to finish, lol this is a whole other can of worms.

�Love is a ruthless game unless you play it good and right,� says Taylor Swift on her latest, �Red.� The same sentiment could be said for Swift and her unstoppable career.
Forget everything you know about Taylor Swift. Forget it.
Swift is not country. She is global. And Swift has her sights on nothing less than world domination � and she might get just that with �Red,� her biggest, brightest, most uncompromising and most non-country record to date.
Not only is the idealistic, doe-eyed, lanky blonde a better singer than she was on 2010�s �Speak Now,� Swift is a better songwriter. And, at a mere 22, not only is she a master of song-craft, Swift is an expert of romance. She even pairs up with Swedish Svengali producer Max Martin (the man behind Britney Spears� �� Baby One More Time,� Kelly Clarkson�s �Since U Been Gone� and Katy Perry�s �I Kissed A Girl�) for a trio of irritating but soon-to-be pop chart-toppers.
Besides the fact that her diary must be the size of a full set of Funk & Wagnalls encyclopedias, Swift, who puts more time into her prologues than most artists put in their whole catalog, nonchalantly quotes Pablo Neruda like other so-called country artists namedrop George Jones and Johnny Cash. On her latest diatribe on amour, Swift pontificates on a �love that was treacherous, sad, beautiful and tragic� and describes sparks-flying, star-aligning, future-affirming �red relationships� going from zero to a hundred (or going from courting Hollywood hunk Jake Gyllenhaal to cradle-robbing Hyannis Port hottie Conor Kennedy and now maybe to boy band singer Harry Styles? But I digress).
Swift sounds like a young Deborah Harry one moment, Dolores O�Riordan the next on the epic-size romantic rocker, �State of Grace.� In fact, the singer she never sounds like here is Taylor Swift. But the biggest surprise, besides the fact that this doesn�t pretend to be country in the slightest, is how confident and compelling Swift is on this would-be arena anthem. Loaded with wonderful lovelorn lines and hooks aplenty, Swift is romantic, dreamy, playful and, most important, irresistible.
When it comes to cute guys, Swift loves them. She loses them. She misses him. She tries and tries to forget them. And then she exploits the hell out of them in song and dance. As a poet and a songwriter, words pour out of Swift like sweat. But she also labors over them until they are pristine and perfect, as evident on the series of winning similes Swift delivered at breakneck speed on the title track, �Red.� With her brain revved up and her heart all a-flutter, Swift passionately belts out her thinking-woman romantic lyrics while lamenting unrequited and misguided love. While the song has its prerequisite countrified twang, Swift�s voice is sonically sliced and diced, turning the album�s buzzword, �Red,� into a polysyllabic declaration of love and heartbreak.
The listener is not sure if they should put their guard up or defenses down on Swift�s ode to being groped and manhandled, �Treacherous.� Swift seductively purrs, �I�ll do anything you say/If you say it with your hands.� Is it hot in here or is it just Swift? Seamlessly making the shift from innocent waif to insatiable stalker, Swift pledges, �I will get you/I�ll get you alone.� Then again, if your stalker is as cute and cuddly as Swift, I think you would take your chances.
Not only does she fall hard for a guy, Swift falls hard for the latest musical trend on �I Knew You Were Trouble.� It�s bad enough feeling used and abused by a non-caring lover who has moved on, but Swift dreads the notion that she might have meant nothing more than a notch in his belt. Besides the fact that the 22-year-old, multi-platinum pop phenom is the last one who should be accusing anyone of belt-notches (right, Taylor Lautner?), �I Knew You Were Trouble� is poppy and punchy with its slinky, dubsteppy groove but sounds more like she is catering to a lucrative, much-sought-after niche rather than delivering a genuine artistic testament.
From �singing in the car� to �dancing �round the kitchen in the refrigerator light,� Swift painfully recreates every detail in a once budding relationship that went kaput on the acoustic-tinged tearjerker (and one of the album�s few bona fide country moments), �All Too Well.� Singing about a lover who was �so casually cruel in the name of being honest,� Swift purges her innermost thoughts and painfully reminiscences with an alarming intimacy and intense urgency that might even take her diehard fans off-guard.
Playing at a slumber party near you, the bouncy but banal �22� is as welcome as being stranded in the middle of a zombie apocalypse without weapons or, in this case, earplugs. On this confectionary pop anthem, Swift sounds like a Radio Disney star on a sugar-high. She�s annoying. She�s whiny. And, for some reason, she�s doing a half-baked Ke$ha impression as she caters to her pint-size fans that are still wearing rubber pants. In the guise of a capricious, free (but not too free) spirit, Swift reveals her idea of a perfect night is �to dress like hipsters and make fun of our exes,� and having �breakfast at midnight.� Who would have ever thought that going to �Denny�s� would be living on the edge?
Another song it�s hard to imagine anybody that could legally drink would dig is �We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,� in which Swift disses an indie-music lover for thinking his music is cooler than her album.
Taylor, you�re many things but you�re not Trent Reznor. And double-tracking your vocals and pretending to be Katy Perry doesn�t make you any cooler.
Swift gives the listener a taste of �Camelot: The Next Generation� on the Kennedy Compound romantic romp, �Starlight.� And she is having a grand ol� time with Conor, crashing a yacht club party (now that�s something all her young fans can relate to, huh?) and being mistaken as a duchess and a prince.
Despite her legendarily lousy track record with men, Swift has always been a champion of Prince Charming and happily ever after � and what�s wrong with that?

Chelsea agree fee for Willian and in talks with Anzhi over Samuel Eto'o
Chelsea have agreed a fee to sign Willian from Anzhi Makhachkala, and are reportedly in talks to sign Samuel Eto'o
Last Updated: 25/08/13 10:44pm
Willian's transfer is subject to a work permit hearing which will take place on Wednesday this week and, provided it is granted, Chelsea will pay a fee reportedly in the region of £30million.
And, according to Sky sources, Chelsea could be on the verge of signing a second player from Anzhi, the former Barcelona superstar Eto'o.
On Friday, Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho said attacking midfielder Willian had chosen to join the Stamford Bridge club rather than Spurs.
The Brazilian had looked to be on the verge of joining Tottenham earlier this week before Chelsea entered the race.
And on Sunday morning the Blues confirmed they have struck a deal with Anzhi.
A Chelsea statement read: "Chelsea Football Club can confirm an agreement has been reached with both Willian and his club Anzhi Makhachkala for the transfer of the Brazilian player.
"The transfer is subject to a work permit hearing on Wednesday."
Willian had got as far as completing a medical at Spurs, but Mourinho appeared to question the merit of that news being made public.
"You have to do the medical before, but the best thing to do is to do the medical in secret," said Mourinho. "If the player is fine, you can sign him. If the player is not fine you don't destroy his career.
"Every one of us managers will say we are happy with our squad, but we are always unhappy. We always want something more, something of more quality and never close the door to the possibility of adding more quality.
"Before Aston Villa I told you we have Plan B and Plan C so I was letting the door open to other possibilities.
"I want a 22 player squad so if somebody comes, somebody leaves. Do we need to sell, no we don't. Do we need to loan, probably yes because I don't like to work with big squads. I like to work with a small group of players, and I say 22 is a perfect number for our needs in different competitions."
The development with Eto'o is new, with Mourinho hoping to boost his strike options after seeing two bids for Wayne Rooney rejected by Manchester United.
Anzhi owner Suleyman Kerimov has decided to drastically reduce his spending on the football club, and Eto'o, 32, was their highest paid player.

Dubai World Cup Trackwork Notes - March 25, 2013
Group 1 US$10M Dubai World Cup, sponsored by Emirates Airline
Royal Delta – Royal Delta galloped once around Meydan and visited the starting gate as part of the typical routine trainer Bill Mott follows with his runners before a race. The two-time American champion stood quietly in the gate as assistant starters patted her neck.
"Everything is good so far," said Mott's assistant Rodolphe Brisset, who also serves as Royal Delta's exercise rider. "She just flew over this track."

Special Needs is a huge umbrella that includes people of all ages — babies, children, teens, adults as well as the elderly. It includes those with a specific clinical diagnosis such as Autism, Alzheimers, ADHD, Dyslexia, deafness, visual impairment, and stroke victims. It also covers those with no diagnosis but a specific area of developmental need such as cognition, behavior, physical (fine and gross motor skills), social, reading, numbers, speech, life skills, memory, cooperation and language development. The level of the Special Need can vary from individual to individual and encompasses a broad spectrum of functionality — from mild disability to profound impairment.
Ebeanstalk: When we founded the business in 2005, we set out to be focused on child development. Yes, we sell toys, books and games. But we are very selective in what we pick. That is why we have a team of experts (pictured below) that do the heavy lifting. They spend all their time with people with special needs and are early-intervention experts. Be it physical, behavioral, mental, academic and much, much more, they really know what developmental toys are most effective.
Linking Ebeanstalk & Special Needs: We always wanted to create a dedicated place within our site to Special Needs, but the timing wasn't right. Now, after seven years in business, and having built a world-class collection of the best toys, books and games for kids we can finally create the Ebeanstalk Special Needs Web-Site.

Are You Listening, WWE?
Yes, I am quite late in weighing in on the April 7 event, which I attended in person. And maybe that's a good thing. Perspectives always benefit from the passage of time, and while I thoroughly enjoyed the show, I now understand why many fans did not.
My first reaction when I read the litany of negative reviews was, "What were they expecting?" WrestleMania 29 went almost exactly as I thought it would: John Cena beat the Rock. The Undertaker's streak remained intact. And, all-in-all, the night's matches went about as I figured they would.
But maybe that's just it. The problem isn't that WWE gave fans what they expected; it's that what fans expected and what they wanted were two different things.
As vehemently opposed as I am to the Vince Russo booking philosophy of unpredictability for unpredictability's sake, WWE also can't stubbornly tell the stories it wants to tell—as logical as they may be—if the fans simply don't want to hear them.
I've often made the argument that, just like in all storytelling, the predictable outcome is often the right one. Good conquers evil, the guy gets the girl, and they all live happily ever after. And while that argument remains sound, there's one thing I didn't consider: It's not enough to simply tell a story logically. Fans have to be interested in that story to begin with. And that's where WWE has a big problem. Never was that more apparent than the night after WrestleMania, when 16,000 fans inside the IZOD Center absolutely refused to go along with the storylines that WWE was offering. They cheered passionately when Ziggler, a rulebreaker, dishonorably captured the World championship. They sang along with the theme music for Fandango, another bad guy. And they heckled supposed fan favorites Randy Orton and Sheamus throughout their match.
And then, of course, there's WWE's biggest conundrum of all: the fact that its number-one hero, John Cena, gets the loudest boos every night.
Clearly, there's an unrest among many WWE fans that has grown too big to simply ignore. This isn't to say that WWE should acquiesce to short-sighted and unrealistic fantasy bookers whose ideal WrestleMania would have included Ziggler cashing in, Punk ending the Streak, and Cena turning heel.
But it is to say that WWE should do a better job of listening to its fans. I think most of those fans aren't asking for a complete overhaul of WWE, but rather just a sincere effort to mix things up a bit.
In truth, WWE is doing a much better job at keeping its product fresh than it was just a few years ago, when Cena faced Randy Orton in nearly every WWE pay-per-view main event. Relatively new acts like The Shield and Ryback have been featured prominently, and there has been a steady stream of talent debuting on the major brands.
But WWE shouldn't rest on its laurels, and shouldn't dismiss the sentiments of its fans when they're not going along with the storylines.

The problem is always having a lightning rod heel like, well, "Hot Rod" Roddy Piper or Steve Austin when you need them. They had one with CM Punk, but surprisingly his own success in the company was his undoing, being the heel with the championship for a modern record length of time. That was some unfortunate timing right there, and the fact that he's now paying the price physically for that period.
The irony was that the last time he was the perfect heel (circa Straight Edge Society and Nexus), the company had no idea what to do with him, and wasn't at all willing to put him in the main event (evidenced by the Nexus feud going nowhere, although arguably it led to the Money in the Bank program later that year).
Hopefully when he's ready for full-time action again he'll still be a heel, although it's time to drop Heyman, because Punk is perfectly effective on his own. And he'll have two big-time opponents (and a cumulative three matches) that fans will remember him from as a heel, Rock and Undertaker. When he pursues Cena again (especially after yet another standout match between them earlier this year), the fans will most certainly be cheering. That's as how it should be.
Remember all those years Hogan was in the Cena position? Yeah, he was getting cheered. The WCW switch to heel mode only made it official. He always wrestled as a heel. He always acted as a heel. It's was just the perception that changed. The sad part, and this is something PWI itself shares blame in, is that in Hogan's case when he was finally able to just do what he always was (and it should be remembered that as a giant he was always pegged to be a heel to begin with, until Vince decided otherwise), the fans didn't cheer. I would argue the 2002 switch was when everyone realized that the Hogan they were familiar with had never actually gone away. And that WWE blew it by making him a face again.
Anyway, just some confused thoughts, because that's what wrestling fans really want. They don't want the black and white, as your analysis of Cena proves.

If Cena was around in the 80s, he would have been cheered. If WWE tried to do with Hogan now what they did in the 80s, he would get booed out of the building, just like Cena does now. Times have changed. WWE knows the fans are smarter now, but they don't know how much smarter. They need complex storylines with complex characters. Every successful TV show has that these days. WWE doesn't. Don't get me wrong, the wrestlers are entertaining, but how many can you say have a complex character? Punk maybe? That's it. I know some would argue that you can't just change people all the time so they're unpredictable, and you're right, but a guy can still do something new and approach things different every week without having to change into a face or heel. It just takes some thought. Great TV shows know how to constantly keep the suspense and keep you guessing while still having a central direction. They can't just do the same thing and insert new "stars" and expect us to think its different. Until WWE gets with the program and realizes that the old way doesn't work anymore, they're destined to remain a dying niche entertainment industry that never dominates the ratings or is even remotely mainstream ever again.

Sources are conflicting as to whether or not K-On! was the origin of the phrase moé moé kyun. I've heard this phrase thrown around in some Japanese game shows and even Hong Kong game shows, although I am uncertain as to whether or not they predate K-On!. Moreover, I've heard from unverified sources that the phrase was inspired by a trend in Maid Cafés. I myself am inclined to believe that K-on! was not the origins of the phrase, although it certainly did help popularise it. As for its usage in Haganai, the fact that it is there implies that the phrase was probably not unique to K-On! (otherwise, feathers would fly with respect to intellectual property and so fourth )
I hope this sufficiently addresses your points

@ForwardUntoDawn: Thanks for that info... really helped...
Now I need to ask this thread something. Is there a genderbent name for Nodoka, I mean what would be a male Nodoka be named? (ex: Yui=Yuu, Ritsu=Rikku). I need it for my "research". I kinda stumbled into the name "Okuda", And thought about the feasibility of a male named "Okuda Manabe" but I'm not very familiar with Japanese names, and I don't know if this is applicable for a first name for a boy (Okuda appears as a Japanese last name in most of my searches). please help me... thanks...

There is no similar equivalent to Nodoka with respect to its written form. However, as Nodoka approximates to "peaceful" or "calm" in the name's meaning, we may choose a male name with a similar meaning that begins with an 'n' hiragana. These criteria are statisfied by the name Naoyasu, although how satisfactory this is will depend on your intents and purposes.

First: There's not really enough material in the two follow-on comics to make another movie. The movie worked because it had forty-one TV/OVA episodes to fit into. Making the follow-on stories into a movie has the problem of having to introduce all these new characters and their backstories, plus all the new settings, within the space of two hours.
Second: While they could've made a TV series or OVA out of the two follow-on series ... a lot of effort was made to focus the series around the YuiAzu dynamic, or the character dynamics of the First Four. Neither follow-on really captures that. The high-school follow-on only has Azusa + miscellaneous characters, and is pretty much a rehash of original K-ON! The college follow-on has the First Four, but it takes place in college ... a place anime directors these days simply don't like to go to. It, too, also rehashes a lot of K-ON! plot standbys; and has the added problem of heavily diluting the character dynamics of the First Four with their experiences in the college music club.
Third: Both follow-on series were relatively poor sellers. Also, KyoAni allowed the production staff of K-ON! to produce an original show of their own, which floated similar art style and was of the same character-driven light-and-fluffy slice-of-moe-life genre as K-ON! ... which also did poorly.
Fourth: KyoAni has, at last count, three projects in the pipe. Four if you count the Chunnibuyo recap movie. For that reason alone, I wouldn't have expected a K-ON! related TV announcement for at least another year.

I agree with GMT.
On the one hand, I have missed K-On a bit lately, but on the other hand, at least this is one franchise that won't be drove into the ground due to its popularity. Some anime franchises go on well beyond their "best before" date, and I don't think that's the case with K-On! Both K-On!!'s finale episode and the movie effectively ended things on a high note, and it wasn't a painful slog getting there.
But take some cheer. Maybe one day the show will get re-made, Rozen Maiden-style.

K-On! is the romanisation of 軽音 (Keion), or light music. Technically, this is supposed to be the working title. Kanij, however, is derived off Chinese glyphs and thus, is more complex. Katakana is used for transcribing foreign words into Japanese, and since "light music" is not of foreign origin, Katakana is not used. Thus, we are left with Kanji and Hiragana to deal with.
Hiragana has had a long history of usage and is also the most commonly used. As such, it is likely the writing system that viewers have the greatest familiarity with; while I'm not totally sure, a study found the Japanese prefer Hiragana over Katakana, citing the former as giving a warmer feeling to the text owing to the curving aesthetics of Hiragana characters. Because Hiragana is the first writing system Japanese children pick up, it is the one that is most familiar and thus, most friendly-looking. Hiragana is also the writing system that introductory Japanese courses teach. Contrast Keion written as (けいおん) with (ケイオン): the latter is more angular and rough, whereas the former is gentler in appearance. Incidentally, kanji is the last writing system taught, being the most complex to master (unless one had previous experience with the writing system). K-On! isn't a complicated anime by any stretch, so using Kanji to represent the title would subtly undermine the anime's atmospherics.
We now apply this logic to K-On!, a simple, heartwarming anime about a group of high school girls and their halcyon life as high school students. Using Hiragana would imply that the anime itself would be simple, laid-back and fun, descriptors that rather fit what we see nicely.

In case anyone here watched Accel World, I'm pretty sure the girl at 8:32 of episode 18 (Leading Role) of season 2 who told Mio to talk louder was voiced by the same person who voiced Noumi. I find this interesting considering the two characters are of different gender, but I guess that isn't too uncommon in the world of voice acting.

K-ON. What can I say about this one...for one, I have known about it since long ago, but only just recently watched it last month. The style, the way they do everything; it feels DIFFERENT from most anime and I can think up a few solid reasons:
1) The animation style. Unlike most anime that always aims for detail, some doing it flawlessly; K-ON sacrificed the detail, slightly, in order to give more fluid movement to the characters. This includes their realistic tripping on things, the other characters' reactions to that incident and much more. Truly, their animation style is unique; K-ON ALWAYS feels like a movie due to its atmosphere. Also, I rarely see the characters on a standstill where they only move when they are talking or pulling comedy routines; like they always move around whenever someone is speaking. If they were aiming for realism, they have it spot on.
2) The humor itself. They really tried to go for the most simple approach, and nailed it. They do not try to add drama often at all, and its mostly ALL comedy. It gets a tad boring at times, you would think; but really it DOESN'T. I can not describe why, but it always feels fresh every episode. I am pretty certain they studied real high school girls, or a girl was a writer; because they just make the humor feel as though you are watching a real group of high school girls in their every day life.
3) Finally, the music. Well most anime do have memorable soundtracks, this one took on a musical approach to its story and that is what turned me off the most from watching it when I first saw it: I like the characters, but I thought it was all gonna be about the music. In reality, it's the COMPLETE opposite: they do jack (...) on the music most of the time, it is hilarious! They all have natural talent of writing songs, and none of them practice whatsoever. They do still sing full songs in some episodes, but it's not annoying where it's every single episode or there are like two to four songs per episode. What I mean is, it's not a musical anime; it's mostly comedy and all of the characters that play in their band have natural talent. Perhaps, Mugi has the most since she practiced since she was young, same could be said with the others too. Come to think of it, I guess Yui is the only one with natural talent given she reached professional guitar level in just a few episodes!
But yeah, K-ON is really good. After watching all of it, I mean ALL of it I even saw the OVAs and the movie; I can safely say it is a great recommendation if you just want comedy and none of the drama. When they do have drama, it's usually in the most calm way possible: a sad scene. Like when a character is leaving, or when they are having a heartwarming moment; usually nothing ever happens where a character gets injured, someone is being a bully or anything.
So again, don't be fooled. It is true it is all about music and some episodes even dedicate it to such, but most of the time they mock the idea of practicing and it's just basic high school comedy in its rawest form. Give it a watch if you have the time, it is one of those rare shows where you won't ask for more because it delivers a hefty thirty-nine episodes, two OVAs and a movie. It ends well, and does not need any more productions. Even learned a piano song from the anime, and it gives me goosebumps every time I play it especially on a grand piano.

The fourth Deals Roundtable, on "Hedge Funds, Creditor Control, and Restructuring," was held October 27, 2006. The Roundtable brought together leading attorneys, investors, and academics to discuss recent changes in the restructuring and reorganization process.
Topics of discussion included historic trends in corporate reorganization, reforms in bankruptcy legislation affecting derivatives markets, changes in credit markets that have made it more difficult to predict returns to distressed debt claims, and the increasingly aggressive strategies employed by hedge funds and banks in the reorganization process.
Harvey Miller '59, a Vice-Chairman at Greenhill & Co. and former senior partner of Weil, Gotshal & Manges, LLP, provided the luncheon address, which surveyed the history of reorganization practice and policy and offered cautionary observations on the current state of bankruptcy law.
Edward Morrison (Columbia Law School) presented his articles, "Derivatives and the Bankruptcy Code: Why the Special Treatment?" (co-authored with Franklin R. Edwards) and "Financial Contracts and the New Bankruptcy Code: Insulating Markets from Bankrupt Debtors and Bankruptcy Judges" (co-authored with Joerg Riegel). Comments were provided by Hal Novikoff(Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz).
Edward I. Altman (Stern School of Business, New York University) presented his article "Are Historically Based Default and Recovery Models in the High-Yield and Distressed Debt Markets Still Relevant in Today's Credit Environment?" Comments were provided by Hydee Feldstein '82(Sullivan & Cromwell).
The day concluded with a panel moderated by Stephen Case '68 (Cohen & Co.) and featuring David Tepper (Appaloosa Management), Stephen Cooper (Kroll Zolfo Cooper), Lisa Donahue (AlixPartners), Hon. Robert Drain '84 (U.S. Bankruptcy Court, SDNY), Stuart Gilson (Harvard Business School), Marcia Goldstein (Weil, Gotshal & Manges), and Frederic Ragucci (Schulte Roth & Zabel). The panelists discussed the growing importance and evolving strategies of hedge funds in the restructuring and reorganization process. Topics of discussion included the challenges created by increasingly complex capital structures, the growth of credit default swaps and other techniques for hedging bankruptcy risks, conflicts of interest faced by creditors who use these techniques, and the complexity of a bankruptcy process in which the participants are constantly changing as creditors and equityholders trade into, out of, and hedge claims against the distressed corporation.

Maybe you've heard that breastfeeding strengthens your bones. Or maybe your mother-in-law has told you that it weakens your bones. Or if you're a big breastfeeding nerd you might remember that the mammoth 2007 AHRQ analysis found no conclusive evidence one way or the other.
But have you heard that long term breastfeeding gives you bigger bones?
The whole are of breastfeeding and osteoporosis has been a confusing area to understand, because some studies show that breastfeeding helps bone mineral density, while other show that it hurts it or has no effect at all.
But the most puzzling thing has been that studies have found that women who have breastfed have have reduced fracture risk later in life, no matter what their bone mineral density is like. How could that be?
If you can fall in love with a study, I think I just did. It's this 2011 Finnish study which found that mothers who breastfed for 33 months or longer (cumulative lifetime total) had stronger bones than women who had breastfed for a shorter time. But not because their bones were more dense. It was because their bones were bigger.
Here's what the researchers in Finland found when they measured bone strength in women 16 to 20 years after their last baby: Women who nursed for 33 months or longer (again, over a lifetime), regardless of the number of children, had larger bone size and strength later in life. Specifically, they had better hip strength and better tibia strength. This was true even when they controlled for age, height, weight, parity (number of births), menopausal status, use of hormone replacement therapy, and current leisure time physical activity level.
Why would mothers who nursed for 33 months or longer have bigger bones? In pregnancy, they explain, women lose about 5% of their bone mass. But because there is simultaneously more pressure on their skeleton, our bodies compensate by growing our bones' diameter a little. And as it turns out, the diameter of bone is more important than density when it comes to bone strength. But since all women in the study had the same weight patterns after pregnancy, "increased mechanical load" related to pregnancy didn't seem to explain why women who breastfed longer had more bone (though hold onto the thought about why bone diameter is important – it's coming back).
What's the reason then? It's the suppression of estrogen, the authors conclude:
Estrogen at high level promotes endocortical [inner] bone formation and inhibits periosteal [outer bone] formation…The estrogen level is very low during lactation…Therefore, it is possible that the low levels of estrogen during lactation exert less inhibitory effects on periosteal bone formation thereby permitting periosteal expansion [outer bone growth], leading to a bone with larger size at the end of lactation…After weaning, the lost bone mass is regained, but the larger bone size built up during lactation persists, hence conferring greater bone strength later in life.
Did you hold onto that concept about bone diameter and density? Remember that when it comes to bone strength, having greater bone diameter is more important than density, so this explains why women who breastfed might have lower bone density but lower fracture risk than women who didn't. And because this held true no matter how many kids the mothers had, it points to breastfeeding as the source of this protection.
Having bigger bones might not explain away those last five pounds you want to lose, but it might be some comfort to know that you're doing your bones a favor by breastfeeding as long as you have!

After a twelve-hour flight from Frankfurt (Germany) to Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, we took an exciting four-hour taxi drive to reach our hotel in the Cameron Highlands, the first stop of our Malaysia-expedition. The Herritage Hotel in Tanah Rata offered, gently sized and hygienic rooms as well as good service and represented the starting point for our night-collecting tours.
The Cameron Highlands are positioned some 70 kilometres north off Kuala Lumpur in the Tapah Hills at an altitude of about 1500 metres. Due to the mild mountainous climate, the highland is a preferred holiday region for the native people and as ideal for jungle-trekking as numerous numbered paths and trails are present in the surroundings of Tanah Rata.
Unfortunately large areas of primary rain-forest have since been destroyed because of the fast expanding tea-plantations and increasing tourism.
Tanah Rata
Our first success in finding phasmids was in the Jalan Tengolok and different jungle-trails not far away from our hotel. Between 7 and 12 pm we searched the rich and dense lower vegetation with head-torches and surefires.
Already in the first evening we found a male of the "Rhinoceros-beetle" Oryctes rhinoceros (Scarabaeidae, Dynastinae) which was attracted by the strong light in front of the hotel-lobby. In the close surrounding of our hotel and along the Jalan Tengolok we found many Neohirasea unnoi Brock, 1999 and Stheneboea verruculosa (Brunner v. Wattenwyl, 1907) as well as Asceles tanarata Brock, 1999, Necroscia punctata Gray, 1835, Sipyloidea meneptolemus (Westwood, 1859), Pinnispinus harmani Brock, 1999, Lopaphus nanoalatus Brock, 1999 and several small nymphs of Heteropteryx dilatata (Parkinson, 1789) and Phobaeticus serratipes (Gray, 1835). Interestingly we found most insects very close to the ground at maximum heights of 1 meter. Especially Stheneboea verruculosa and Neohirasea unnoi were predominantly found on different ferns.
During the days we searched for new night-collecting sites and took the advantage to visit some local insect-suppliers, from which we bought several live adults of Phyllium giganteum Hausleithner, 1984, Phyllium siccifolium (Linnaeus, 1758) and Heteropteryx dilatata (Parkinson, 1789) as well a single female of the giant Pharnacia sumatranus (Brunner v. Wattenwyl, 1907). Furthermore we bought some live beetles (Coleoptera), including a few specimens of the well known "Atlas- or Three-Horn-Beetle" (Scarabaeidae, Dynastinae) Chalcosoma atlas (Linnaeus, 1758) and the large and colourful "Longarm-beetle" Cheirotonus parryi (Scarabaeidae, Euchrinae) for reasonable prices. In addition, we were lucky to obtain a beautiful female of the giant and bizarre Praying Mantis Paratoxodera cornicollis (Mantodea).
Gunung Brinchang (2000 m)
On our last day in the Cameron Highlands we decided to search for phasmids and do some night-collecting with a light-trap on Mount Brinchang (2000 m) which is situated only a few kilometres east off Tanah Rata. On its peak there is a telecom-station, which can be easily reached by a narrow but paved road. Apart from numerous Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera which were attracted by our light-trap, searching the vegetation which fenced the road on both sides revealed some specimens of Carausius nodosus (deHaan, 1842) as well as a still undescribed and remarkably small species of Lopaphus and a new species of Carausius.
