The tall, bespectacled Schwartz and Miss Korvot, both of whom speak English, met at various events and went to dances together. Olga also visited the Israeli athletes.

Zox. Mr. Zox was chosen from a long list^ofj qualified ap¬ plicants as; the winner of the 1974 'Young'.-Leadership Award because his com¬ munal activities, in¬ volvements, committment and interest reflect the aims and purposes for which the Award was established in 1960.

ICAO Condemns Israel For Airliner Interception Claim Airlines Pay Blackmail To Terrorists «■ fn JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Official sources condemned as unbalanced and one-sided the resolution adopted on Aug. 30 in Rome by the In¬ ternational Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) con? demning Israel for;; in¬ terception of a Lebanese airliner Aug. 10 and forcing it to land at an Israeli air- base. The 128-member ICAO general assembly adopted the resolution by a vote of 87- 1 with four: abstentions. Israel cast the lone negative vote and Ireland, Thailand, j Singapore and Bolivia, ab¬ stained 'on the resolution which also warned that if Israel repeats the action the ICAO will take measures against her. The con¬ demnation followed similar actions in the United Nations Security Council and the ICAO council in Montreal. In condemning the ICAO's resolution, official sources stressed that the convention did not take into account the background of the in¬ terception, nor did the delegates pay attention to tiie protection given by Arab states to the terrorists who endanger the security of civil aviation. Several Arab countries voilated the in¬ ternational law concerning civil aviation many times, the sources pointed out, but no action has ever been taken against them. However, the general belief in Jerusalem was that the Arab delegations in Rome failed in their efforts to impose sanctions on Israel. Many Western countries, headed by the United States, convinced the Arabs to Waldheim Pessimistic About Quick Mideast Breakthrough -GENEVA, <JTA).~United- Nations Secretary General Kurt Waldheim flew to Damascus last week on the first leg of a five-nation Middle East tour he has undertaken at the initiative of Egypt and for which he held out little prospects for any immediate breakthrough to resolve the Arab-Israeli dispute.

Happy New Year
I prefer looking forward to looking back over the year so I'm not going to indulge in a long navel-gazing retrospective of 2012. Nor will I be making any new year's resolutions for 2013 as if I did I expect most of them would be broken for perfectly good reasons whilst other things will be achieved that I haven't even thought of yet.
The only thing important enough for me to make a resolution about is to keep on getting healthier and beating that brain tumour into submission! If I could get my driving licence back and regain access to the Great Outdoors that would make me happier than I could possibly say.
I wish all my readers good health and happiness above all else in 2013. See you next year!

HANG TIME NEW JERSEY — For NBA fans like us, there's nothing better than League Pass. Having the ability to watch every game every night (and then again the next day) is heaven.
Of course, with local broadcasts, you get local broadcasters, which can be good and bad. It can be good, because these guys know their teams better than most national broadcasters. It can be bad, because these guys love their teams more than most national broadcasters. And they're usually not afraid to show that love.
Air Check is where we highlight the best and worst of NBA broadcasts.
Efficiency is in the eye of the beholder
After a timeout during the Pistons-Wizards match Saturday, the Washington broadcast came back with Steve Buckhantz saying "Two of the most efficient players in the NBA are playing here tonight."
At that point, your mind races. Andre Drummond and Martell Webster? Both are near the top of the league in effective field goal percentage.
No, Buckhantz was talking about a couple of other guys…
VIDEO: Wizards' broadcaster Steve Buckhantz has high praise for John Wall and Brandon Jennings
So, Buckhantz called John Wall and Brandon Jennings "two of the most efficient players in the league" because they ranked second and third in games with at least 10 assists and less than four turnovers. That's an interesting definition of efficiency.
At the time, Wall and Jennings ranked 203rd and 229th in effective field goal percentage among 247 players who had attempted at least 150 shots from the field. Their true shooting percentage ranks among the same group were slightly better: 152nd and 222nd.
Oh, if you want to go back to assists and turnovers, Jennings and Wall ranked 18th and 29th in assist/turnover ratio among qualified players.
So yeah, that stat that the Wizards showed – in which Chris Paul was lapping the field, by the way – could have used some context. And to top it off, Wall threw the ball out of bounds on the first possession after they showed it.
The King of Air Check returns
If you've been reading Air Check for the last couple of years, you're familiar with the shots Scott Hastings takes at the officials. If you haven't, see some examples here, here and here.
Let's add this one to the list…
VIDEO: Scott Hastings demonstrates why he is the best
"I'm telling you," Hastings says after Evan Fournier gets a bucket, "in a year or two, if he doesn't get that call as an and-one, then officiating is as bad as I thought."
That's why he's the King.
The fear of Pop
You've certainly seen Jeff Van Gundy's between-quarters "interview" with Gregg Popovich from a couple of weeks ago, probably the best broadcasting moment of the season…
VIDEO: Jeff Van Gundy and Gregg Popovich share a special moment
A week later, the Spurs were on ESPN again. And again, there was no sideline reporter. So play-by-play man Dave Pasch and analyst Jon Barry flipped a coin to see who had to do the interview. Pasch lost and got the standard Popovich treatment…

The teenager's second-half strike secured a point for the hosts after Mario Gotze's emphatic penalty had given the reigning Bundesliga champions a deserved half-time lead
The 19-year-old's strike midway through the second half cancelled out Mario Gotze's penalty as the 2012 champions failed to capitalise on a dominant opening period.
The visitors, who were without top scorer Robert Lewandowski, failed to pose enough of a threat going forward despite having the majority of possession and are now 17 points behind leaders Bayern Munich at the top of the table.
After an even start, Dortmund went close to opening the scoring inside 10 minutes as Kevin Grosskreutz saw his effort saved by Marco-Andre ter Stegen after Moritz Leitner headed Mats Hummels' cross into his path on the edge of the six yard box.
Without the suspended Lewandowski, the visitors were struggling to make an impact in the final third, though ter Stegen was forced into a save from Leitner's powerful header.
Gotze was the man tasked with filling Lewandowski's boots in the forward position, and he made his first meaningful contribution of the game as he took the ball around ter Stegen before being tripped by the goalkeeper.
The referee rightly pointed to the spot and Gotze brushed himself down before sending the goalkeeper the wrong way and give Jurgen Klopp's side a deserved lead.
The home side were struggling to get a foothold in the game, and they continued to come under pressure as Hummels and Ilkay Gundogan both shot off target while Leitner fired a long range effort straight at ter Stegen.
Hummels was withdrawn at half-time due to injury, and his replacement Felipe Santana almost handed the hosts an equaliser as his weak clearance only found Younes, but the teenager's volleyed effort failed to stretch Roman Weidenfeller.
Gladbach were gradually coming back into the match, and Weidenfeller was forced to tip Harvard Nordtveit's cross over the bar, with the resulting corner falling to Martin Stranzl, but his free header from close range was straight at the goalkeeper.
Lucien Favre's side eventually found the goal that their improved performance deserved as they attacked down the left, and after Oscar Wendt's cross was only half cleared, Younes fired home from the edge of the area via a deflection off Santana.
Despite conceding, Dortmund were still a threat going forward, and after winning the ball back inside the hosts' box, Gotze fired into the side netting, though a measured cross may have been better advised.
Germany international Gotze was by the visitors' main threat, and he tested ter Stegen with a powerful strike after working his way into a shooting position. The goalkeeper was equal to it, though, pulling off an acrobatic save.
Gladbach almost pulled off an unlikely victory in the final minute of normal time as substitute Peniel Kokou Mlapa broke the offside trap and rounded Weidenfeller but could only find the side-netting from a tight angle.
That wasn't the end of the drama as Gotze made his way past two defenders before laying the ball across goal, only for Sebastian Kehl to sum up his side's day by firing over the bar with the goal gaping.

When Chris Christie recently launched his presidential bid with a pep-style rally at his old high school, Jim O'Neill pointedly skipped the homecoming event.
"I didn't want to do anything that would have suggested, even tacitly, that I was supportive of him or his policies," said O'Neill, the district's interim superintendent.
Christie and O'Neill once feuded over superintendent salaries, so the two have a history. But many share O'Neill's harsh assessment of the state's two-term governor.

Also: is it just me, or is this series trying to go all Evangelion on us? You had the "Case of $name" ep a little while back (I forget who it was, exactly, but those words flashed up on the screen, and I was just WTF), the synch testing at RUC, the huge coverups about a big disaster that happened some time back and has had a major impact on every one of the characters, and Rally's guiding his perfect specimen for the program, in the form of Re- er, Rose, down to a top-sekrit bunker full of something that looked large and robotic...
Not implying that this series will ever approach the glorious levels of headfuck that Eva managed, and nor am I saying that Rally is as gloriously messed-up an antagonist as Ikari Gendo. I just find it interesting...

Man I can't wait to see Rally dead he is an evil evil man. Well appears we will get some major answers in whatever luggage Josef sent to him. Maybe even find out more about Solty since he definitely wasn't suprised to see her the first time and possibly if she was made bay RUC might have an internal program to override her. Possibly she somehow broke the program and escaped from RUC. Hmm.. so many unanswered questions I sure hope to see some answers in the next episode.

All the pieces are coming up together.
Episode twenty is definitely a must see because the plot revelations regarding Blast Fall and the girls are shed into the light, however, I will be grateful with anyone that has certain understanding of Japanese to explain some of the bigger conversations that reveal what was going on throughout the plot.

Hmm.. just watched episode 20 finally. So I have a question did they migrate here or was this like a prison planet? And I'm really curious who is Solty than another like Rally but had his mind wiped and a new identity by Rally? Rally is not only a true lunatic but also one that want's all the power himself and if their was another like him it would be just like him to do that to a fellow comrade.
I am leaning towards some type of prison planet because if the aura shell was by them to keep the air in it seems he would just have turned off the shell and blasted off in his own private rocket saying screw the rest of the people. But instead he's trying to find a way to pierce it and escape it seems.

Rise of the Resemble
From episode twenty-one to the next one, all hell breaks loose.
It is finally revealed who is the enemy.
For anyone who saw Jigoku Shoujo episode 24 and looked how the reserved, calm Ai went totally ape-shit, you have to give special kudos and appraisal for Mamiko Noto who voices also Axcela.
When Axcela went nuts, she started to laugh psychotically and hearing that sent shivers down my spine. You ought to see hear and see her at the end of the episode.
There was a slight change with the OP sequence. Now features Axcela donning her own power suit like the rest of the RUC ladies. A silver-gray colored one with purple plates.

Final Message
Attention, gentlemen!!
Due that next week the spring season starts and trouble with arranging time slots, Solty Rei gets a 90 minutes broadcast.
As you're reading, the last three episodes are being broadcasted straight in a row. (22-24)
I cannot comment upon it, because it is too much load for me to look at the humongous loads of pics at futaba and start my synopsis. Henceforth, I will wait and arrange things when I get free time to spare.

|Head-bowing courtship behaviour - see video below
First, we see the falcon (female bird) on the nest ledge where she had just arrived. It's 8th February, 7:30am local time (GMT) and dawn is breaking, and the cameras are still in night-mode. She spends a considerable amount of time moving slowly around the nest scrape, picking at debris and possibly consuming small pieces of grit. It seems unlikely that she was picking at insects as it was far too cold and early in the season for that.
Next we see the typical courtship routine of head-bowing and eee-chupp calls from the female. We expect to see the pair mating on the tower during March, and as a precursor to this, we will see a lot of courtship activity. Typical of this is the head-down eee-chupp sequence that follows. It was 11th February, and our male has just arrived at the nest ledge and the female flies in, landing just off camera. They face each other, heads bowed, with the female making an "eee-chup, eee-chup " call, with the male also calling in the same way. During this display the male may remain absolutely motionless for many minutes. But eventually it seems that his nerve gives in and he suddenly flees the nest, leaving the female behind. Though not seen on this occasion, she often then moves slowly forward and stands inside the nest scrape.
We ask that any webcam viewers seeing interesting activity to make a note of the date and time and to post a comment on this blog. We won't be able to retrieve every one of them, but we can use your feedback to quickly obtain and post as many interesting clips as we are able, given our resources.

Synology Disk Station DS408 Review
Storage is one of those topics that's often addressed in terms of how much/how fast one's local hard drives are. As many homes expand to multiple computers and networked computers are more the norm these days, having the ability to share files easily among computers regardless of which operating system they might be running becomes more of an issue. This is especially true for the small office/home office or even workgroup computers in a small business or corporation.
For those that need more than just a few extra gigabytes of storage and those lacking a dedicated IT staff, one of the best options can be a network attached storage server. These devices are servers that offer a common repository allowing users to share files across the network as well as providing remote access to files over the Internet. As you move up the food chain, you begin to see more in terms of not only storage capacity, but also faster transfer speeds as well as more features. For some NAS servers the list of extras can be quite extensive and include iTunes, FTP and print servers but also more advanced features such as photo sharing, web servers and provisions for video surveillance recording. These type of servers are geared more toward office environments or serious video applications that demand more from a NAS server.
Synology Inc. is a company dedicated to manufacturing NAS servers for home, small business and corporate uses. Headquartered in Taipei City, Taiwan, Synology has been in business since 2000 and has also begun to offer portable and USB storage devices along with their network storage products. Our review unit is the Disk Station DS408 four-bay high-speed NAS server that can be configured in multiple RAID configurations. Let's see just how well this unit performs and what it has to offer.
Closer Look:
As is typical, we'll start out with what I like to call the box tour. Like a lot of products shipped for review, the DS408 came encased in a sturdy cardboard shipping box and survived its trip without incident. The front of the box offers up a picture of the NAS server and a list of the more salient features. The back side of the box looks like a virtual mirror image of the front but it also includes a list of the package contents. The end of the box contain graphics showing typical applications. The opposite end gives the viewer a list of detail specifications and a look at the connections and buttons on the unit.
Enough of the outside of the box, let's open it up and see what's inside. Once the tops flaps are open you can see there is a cardboard cap protecting the unit with the power supply cord resting along side it. Underneath the cap is the unit itself with a box containing the accessories. The unit is fully encased in a thin foam sheet envelope to protect it from scratches. The accessories include the power cord and packed inside an inner box, you'll find everything you need to install the hard drives and get connected including the external AC power adapter, a Cat5e patch cord, a bag containing 4 SATA hard drive power and data cables and a bag containing hard drive mounting screws, a pair of cable ties for cable management and a cable lock for securing the eternal power cord to the unit. You also get some product literature and an installation CD containing a quick installation guide, setup wizards and the user manual.
Once you have the unit out of the box and free of the protective foam sheath you start to get a feel for the shape and size of the DS408. The unit is roughly cube shaped with rounded edges on the front and a slanted control panel containing the power button and LED status and activity lights. The unit comes packaged with a protective film covering the front panel, which is a nice touch as it further protects the all plastic panel from getting scratched. The film peels offs easily and there's no sticky residue or anything to worry about. Once the film is removed you can see the large circular power button in the center with status and LAN activity LEDs on the left side and four HDD activity/status lights on the right side. The angle shot better shows the contour of the front panel and just how glossy the plastic is. You can also see there are generous ventilation slits along the top and bottom of the front panel. The rest of the case is all steel and has a rather sturdy, well-built feel to it. The back of the unit reveals the 80mm cooling fan and connections for the power unit, LAN connection and dual USB 2.0 ports for connecting external hard drives. The rear panel is hinged and secured by four thumb screws. Removing the screws allows the top part of the rear panel above the connections to drop down, giving you access to the interior of the unit for hard drive installation and change out. The bottom of the case has four rubber feet to keep it securely seated on a flat surface and for protecting other units if you need to stack them vertically.
Now it's time to open this unit up and install some hard drives and get it set up for testing.

This comes up now and again at work. An engineer reads a story from CNET News.com or Slashdot about how some technology company has a patent on something really obvious (like XOR) and is trying to enforce it. The engineer sends email to the internal development email list with a link to the story, and sometimes a snide comment about how totally silly and unenforceable the patent is.
The intent is harmless, but it's a real problem. In general, patents should not be discussed over email. I'm not a lawyer, but I do understand a little bit about this field. Let me try to explain why it's a bad idea.
The issue has to do with willful infringement. If a company is found to be infringing on a patent, even accidentally, they can be ordered to pay damages to the patent owner, sometimes millions of dollars. If it turns out that the infringing company knew about the existence of the patent, it's called "willful infringement." In those cases, the infringing entity can be required to pay treble damages to the patent owner.
If the patent was discussed over email then it's much harder to make the argument that the infringement was accidental. treble damages. Ouch.
When I get an email about a patent, it's too late to repair the damage. I might hit delete in my email program, but we all know that email, especially when sent to a list, never goes away completely. Of course it's archived in about a thousand different places (on other people's computers, outgoing mail servers, incoming mail servers, web archives, tape backups, etc.)
And the first thing the lawyers do when filing an infringement case against your company is subpoena all of the email from the past year and start grepping through it for references to the patent. Remember, treble damages. Ouch. So if the lawyers can't find anything electronic indicating that you knew about the patent but your company still happens to infringe on it, you'll only get slapped with single damages. Still a lot of ouch, but only 1/3rd as much ouch.
Some might argue, "But it's OK to talk about this particular patent, because we all know that it is totally unenforceable." Wrong. Unless you're a patent attorney, you don't know enough to make that call. You have to assume that all patents, no matter how ridiculous, might be enforced.
Some companies, such as my former employer, are really concerned about this. Not only do they discourage discussing patents at all over email, they run HTTP proxy servers and completely cut off access to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office website from within the corporate intranet.
I'm not suggesting that my employer go that far, because it doesn't seem to solve the underlying problem (people often find out about patents from news sites, not from searching the patent database itself). But it's really not asking too much to tell employees to restrain themselves from discussing patents in an electronic, highly searchable medium.
Talk about it at lunchtime. As Rick says, have the conversation at the real water cooler, not the virtual one.

New Treatment Combines Sports Therapy Techniques, Neuroscience, and Advanced Dental Concepts to Relieve Chronic Dentofacial and Headache Pain
New Treatment Combines Sports Therapy Techniques, Neuroscience, and Advanced Dental Concepts to Relieve Chronic Dentofacial and Headache Pain
SAN BRUNO, CA--(Marketwire - February 21, 2013) - Dr. Bradley L. Parker, DDS now offers a comprehensive treatment program for patients suffering with chronic pain relating to headaches, migraines, tension, and whiplash. Dr. Bradley L. Parker, DDS uses a combination of proven therapeutic, state-of-the-art techniques to evaluate and treat patients with pain or discomfort caused as a consequence of improper muscle forces in the mouth, neck, and head area.
"This treatment is badly needed in a subsection of the population that suffers from ongoing chronic head and neck pain. The TruDenta treatment program allows us to give our patients immediate relief and long-lasting results," says Dr. Bradley L. Parker, DDS, of San Bruno Center for Dental Medicine.
"It's exciting and rewarding to see patients take back control of their lives and their health with more pain-free days. It's really life changing."
Dr. Bradley L. Parker, DDS uses the TruDenta system in a specific way to evaluate a patient's pain symptoms and disabilities in the teeth, muscles, and joints that likely are caused by force imbalances. Then, based on the objective data, Dr. Bradley L. Parker, DDS provides patients with individualized therapy tailored to their condition. This rehabilitation of the muscles and nerves causing the pain is a combination of in-office treatments and at-home care. The treatment is minimally invasive and painless, with no needles or drugs involved.
The National Headache Foundation estimates that more than 29 million Americans suffer from migraines, and these individuals lose more than 157 million work and school days annually due to pain. Aside from migraine sufferers, it is projected that 90 percent of the population also endures other chronic debilitating headaches.

Department of Revenue News Release
July 29, 2009Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday to Occur Aug. 7-9
JEFFERSON CITY – Missouri shoppers looking for a bargain on clothes, computers and school supplies will have an opportunity to save during Missouri's annual "Back-to-School" Sales Tax Holiday.
By state law, the sales tax holiday begins on the first Friday in August and continues through the following Sunday. This year, the three-day holiday begins at midnight on Friday, Aug. 7, and runs through Sunday, Aug. 9. During this time period, the state's 4.225 percent sales tax will not be assessed on certain purchases made in Missouri. Local sales taxes will also not be charged in many local governmental entities, but local governments have the option of not participating in the holiday.
"The Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday will be an excellent time for families to buy the school supplies their children need for the upcoming school year," said Gov. Jay Nixon. "It also is a time when anyone can save on purchases of certain clothing and computer items. During these times when every dollar counts, it makes sense to save as much money as possible, and this holiday provides an excellent opportunity to accomplish that goal."
The appropriate sales tax will not be charged on the following items during the holiday:
*Clothing that does not have a value of more than $100. The state's definition of clothing includes traditional apparel, including footwear, which is worn on or about the body. It also includes material to make school uniforms or other school clothing. It does NOT include accessories such as watches, jewelry, handbags, handkerchiefs, umbrellas, scarves, ties, headbands and belt buckles.
*School supplies, not exceeding $50 per purchase, that are used in a standard classroom for educational purposes. School supplies include, but are not limited to, textbooks, notebooks, paper, pens, pencils, crayons, art supplies, rulers, book bags, backpacks, handheld calculators, chalk, maps and globes. The definition for school supplies does NOT include watches, CD players, headphones, sporting equipment, portable telephones, copiers or other office equipment.
*Personal computers that don't cost more than $3,500 and computer peripheral devices that don't exceed $3,500. A personal computer can be a laptop, desktop or tower computer system which consists of a central processing unit, random access memory, a storage drive, display monitor, keyboard and other related devices. Peripheral devices include items such as a disk drive, memory module, CD drive, microphone, modem, motherboard, mouse, speakers, printer, scanner, sound card or video card. Computer software is considered a school supply and is free from sales tax if its value is less than $350.
Although anyone making qualified purchases does not have to be a student to benefit from the holiday, the sales tax exemption event is commonly referred to as the Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday because it occurs near the beginning of the traditional school year for most students.
Alana M. Barragán-Scott, acting director of the Missouri Department of Revenue, noted that Missourians are not the only ones who can benefit from the holiday.
"You do not have to be a Missouri resident to save money during the sales tax holiday weekend," Barragán-Scott said. "I would urge our neighbors to come to Missouri and save on school supplies, clothes, personal computers and other items."
A total of 172 cities, 52 counties and 11 special districts have voted not to participate in the holiday. While the state sales tax will be exempted from all purchases statewide during the holiday, customers making purchases in the areas that have opted out will still have to pay local sales taxes. A list of the local governments that have opted out of the holiday and the answers to frequently asked questions about the holiday can be can be accessed at http://dor.mo.gov/tax/business/sales/taxholiday/school/. Other questions can be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com or (573) 751-2836.

Ellis scores 26 points, Nowitzki gets 21 as Mavs pull away from Nuggets in 4th for 122-106 win
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
DALLAS – Monta Ellis scored 26 points, Dirk Nowitzki added 21 and the Dallas Mavericks pulled away from the Denver Nuggets in the fourth quarter of a 122-106 victory Friday night.
The Mavericks avoided a season sweep by the Nuggets, who ran away with a win in Denver two weeks ago to hand Dallas its longest losing streak at three games.
Dallas (42-28) got a boost in the playoff race when Miami rallied from seven down in the last 3½ minutes to beat Memphis 91-86 Friday night. The Mavericks and Grizzlies (40-28) started the day in a virtual tie for the final two postseason spots in the Western Conference.
Vince Carter shook off a dislocated pinkie on his left hand in the first quarter to finish with 13.
J.J. Hickson led Denver with 18 points and eight rebounds before leaving with an apparent injury in the fourth quarter.
Ty Lawson had 17 points and nine assists after missing a game with a sinus infection, and Randy Foye scored 15, all on 3-pointers.
The Mavericks led by 15 early in the fourth quarter but couldn't put the Nuggets away until late.
Denver was within 99-96 after a 3-pointer and dunk from Dallas native Darrell Arthur, who had nine of his 11 points in the second half.
But Nowitzki hit back-to-back fadeaway jumpers and Brandan Wright and Shawn Marion took turns feeding each other for baskets, the last one Marion's dunk for a 109-99 lead with 4 minutes to go.
Wright, a 6-foot-10 center, had all three of his assists in a 4-minute stretch of the fourth quarter and finished with 13 points. Marion scored 14 as the Mavericks had seven players in double figures.
Ellis, who scored 12 straight Dallas points to force overtime in a loss to Minnesota on Wednesday, ran off eight straight to put the Nuggets away and clinch a winning season after a 12-year run of winning records ended with a 41-41 mark last season.
Ellis was 11-of-14 shooting and had seven assists.
Hickson helped keep Denver close with 10 second-half points and was four shy of his season high against the Mavericks in November before going out.
The Mavericks avoided the slow starts that plagued them the last time they played Denver and in an overtime loss to Minnesota, another West also-ran, in their last game.
Jae Crowder really got Dallas going in the second quarter, going 4 of 4 from 3-point range, including three straight Dallas baskets that put the Mavericks up 50-36.
Averaging 4.7 points per game coming in, Crowder led Dallas in the first half with 12 points but didn't attempt another shot.
NOTES: The teams combined to go 25 of 52 from 3-point range. The Nuggets had 13 from long range and the Mavericks had 12. The season high is 12 for both teams. ... Nuggets C Kenneth Faried got a technical in the third quarter after colliding with Jose Calderon and knocking the Dallas guard to the floor. ... The Nuggets swept the season series with Dallas in 2008-09 and won four straight over the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons. ... The Mavericks recalled G Gal Mekel from the Texas Legends of the D-League. He's played 31 games for Dallas and four games for the affiliate. The 26-year-old rookie from Israel missed nearly two months with a knee injury.

Arduino controled PGA2310 Preamp
Hello one and all,
I have been dreaming about a Digitally controlled Preamp for some time now, but lacked the know how to build one. Over the past few weeks I have been playing with a Arduino Mega board, trying to get the hang of programming them. I started off with big ideas, but as this is my first real Micro project Im going to take baby steps.
Basically im doing something very similar to MaxW but using the PGA 2310 volume controller IC from TI/Burr Brown, The input section will be very similar to maxw's.
Any advice or help along the way would be really appreciated.
To start with, I would like,
-2x Output to existing 100w Amp
-5x unbalanced input selection
-4x20 LCD for menu/input selection and volume bar graph
-Rotary Encoder control for input selection and volume adjustment
-PGA2310 volume IC Volume Control
-Remote controlled Volume and input select
I think thats going to be enough to keep my busy for awhile. Eventually I would like to have 7.1 ch output for a home theatre system similar to 5 channel power amplifier as well as Digital/optical input, Arduino controlled DAC, but all thats bit over my head at this stage.
I am on a tight budget (i'm a poor student) so will most likely be buying parts bit at a time. I have a heap of pga2310s given to me by a work colleague so I thought I would start off with getting them up and running.
MaxW kindly sent me to a post in the arduino forum that had code to test these out. This worked great.
My next step will be getting my Rotary encoder working when it arrives tomorrow, I ordered LCD and a cheapo $3 rotary encoder this morning. Are these any good ? BOURNS|PEC11-4220K-S0024|INCREMENTAL ENCODER | element14 Australia I am going to try GLT's great code from this blog.
ill keep you posted with my progress. Hope someone finds it helpful

Having done something similar myself recently, I think the only bit of good advice I can give is to make sure you understand exactly what your code is doing. It is all very well copy and pasting code from somewhere else, but this has the least educational benefit.
Remote control could possibly be the hardest thing you will have to implement and this is an area where copy/paste does come in handy. But finding a decoder that works for your family of micro and remote control protocol could be a challenge.
In fact I recommend you don't copy code from anywhere (except for an RC decoder). Create your own code for the project, this way you'll know exactly what it does and how to modify it for any future application you might have.
What the hell are you screamin' for? Every five minutes there's a bomb or somethin'! I'm leavin! bzzzz! Now with website! www.5een.co.uk under construction.

It will be difficult to achieve all your goals especially if it is your first project.Learnig programming microcontrollers can take years.And you must know many things about the hardware.

Well I knew nothing about micros and programming 1 month ago and I've managed to control a CS3318 via I2C and remote control(although I had a little bit of help with the RC part). I've also managed to program an ADAU1445 DSP chip from analog devices too (I've also used the micros A/D converter as an input, the timers/output compare/PWM controller and interrupts. For the internal operations that the micro can perform you really have to study the datasheet in detail. Everything is there, even if the language they try and explain things in sometimes seems Martian in nature. If you stick at it you will get it to work, it can just take time, especially if the hardware is finicky and needs coaxing into operation, like the PIC24s I2C controller having to add tons of line capacitance to get it work should NOT be necessary!). From my point of view it all seems pretty straight forward. You just have to take your time going through it all methodically and sometimes the answer to 'how' you want do something might not be immediately apparent, but give your mind some time to ponder and you will end up figuring it out.
By the way I found this guys C tutorials on youtube extremely helpful. In such a way that after certain tutorials I was like, oh! I can use this to do this! And I'd program something simple to test it out, that way you put into practice what you've just seen/heard and you learn it properly, rather then watching them all and forgetting it 5 mins later.
Reading the data sheet also lets you know what the micro can do. It's pointless trying to think of neat ways to handle certain problems if you're not aware of most of the micro controllers capabilities. Also don't hesitate to experiment with something, if you read that an internal peripheral can do something and you think it sounds neat, but you have no use for it, so what! Program the thing and learn exactly how to use that peripheral (even if it's just configuring a timer to output a certain frequency on an output pin). Your experience will only help you in using other features later on.

Thanks for your helpful replies,
I've been going through the C videos on youtube, thanks for the link. I did a computer programing module at uni (mostly visual basic) so have a basic understanding of program structure but never used C before and never with embedded devices. intend to write as much of my own code as I can for this project, As you say, this is best way to learn. The great thing about arduino is, its relatively simple to use and the amount of support from the community. Can anyone recommend a good book on the Arduino?

I only just found this thread. How did you get on ialpha?
I made a PGA2310 Module for use with an Arduino. With input/output buffers (opa2132s) and integrated analog power supply. I have some PCBs if you want.
Here is some pics and also my simple code for controlling the PGA with an encoder. Hope it helps!

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I just have a quick question. I'm currently trying to do the same thing, but I'm a bit unsure of how to connect the PGA2311 to the existing amp. I just want to replace the volume pot for a arduino controlled solution for starters, but I can't find any info on the hardware part. Is it as simple as just connecting it to the lines, or does it involve additional hardware?
maxw: I posted the same question on a blog post which had the same pictures as your post, so I gather it's yours?
Thanks in advance,
Ps: I'll start my own thread when I actually get going with this.

It might have, but I haven't received the amp yet so I'm not sure. Being new to this I just imagined it to be some kind of standard. Trying to learn and prepare as much as possible, but I understand it's a bit hard without having the actual hardware.
Thanks anyway!

Add-A-Tray worked after some reengineering
Nov. 24, 2014
I ordered two more sets of Add-A-Tray for my FD50, At first I was a little disappointed when I tried them. They did not seemed to fit. There was a note in the box stating that there was a re-design and that the change in appearance will not affect the performance and that new trays will mix with the old ones. BUT they did not. had a 1/4 gap between the old trays and the new one. The old trays had notches in the center that measured 1 1/16" and the new one measured 5/8" along with the whole tray was bowed down and the new one seemed to bow up.
customer service was very nice, and said that there was nothing they could do. and that the new designed was it.
So, I looked over the problem and notice that the old trays tab was measured higher than the new Add-a-tray and that if I cut them off a little that the problem could be corrected.
All I did was to get the Dremel tool out with the cut off wheel and cut 3/16 of an inch off of the tabs of the old trays and then the New tray would fit just Right.
I have been using this product for 6 years and my dad used it long before that. I love making my own deer jerky. And I hope to use it many years to come.
Hope customer service can continue to help other customers with this same issue.

The wind is normally at least a bit gusty/lully and if you're at the low end limit you can stop planing or not manage to go upwind in the lulls and if you sine the kite a lot you just lose water. Keeping your sped up is important but in light wind there's another technique that works great, pumping.
It's easier to do than explain.
If you've never pumped a windsurf board and rig watch how they do it.
With a windsurf you pump the sail while kicking the board so the sail starts to take shape and create apparent wind and with your kicks the board starts to come out of the water so there's less surface creating drag and you start planing. You do this going downwind with a rythmn you have to feel with the mast/board/sail/wind, it's something you have to feel. When you've got it sussed with the right rythmn and some good agressive pumping you can get going when you couldn't even plane before and once you've got going use the apparent wind to go upwind.
With a kite I don't think it's really useful for starting off but I've found it works great to keep you planing when you're at or even below the low limit.
It depends a bit on the type of kite, with some a low sine seems to work ok but I've tried pumping with different kinds and it works great, better if you're on a wide lightwind board.
If you're at your low limit, when you hit a lull you start to slow down and stop planing, losing your apparent wind too, start pumping the kite to keep it further back in the window by pumping the bar 5-10cm, the kite flies better and further back in the window so it has more power. While pumping the bar, start kicking the board to keep it planing. Turn the board slightly upwind with every kick so you keep going upwind even if you're going really slow.
When you get it sussed you can even keep going upwind at walking pace with next to no wind, it's pretty wierd, it feels like you're walking on the water and you wait for the next gust to pick up speed again, you never stop planing and you don't lose ground.
Your rythmn between body/bar/board has a lot to do with it here too and you want to keep tension in the lines always
Give it a go and let me know
Could you explain "kicking the board" more?
it feels like I'm kicking it forwards and the front up/out of the water while curving slightly upwind so I'd say with more pressure from the rear foot. Same sort of movement as when you do a back roll so I'm pretty sure this also gives the lines more tension too.

MIAMI, Jan. 8 (UPI) -- AJ McCarron fired four TD passes Monday and No. 2 Alabama won its third national championship in four years with a 42-14 rout of No. 1 Notre Dame.
McCarron went 20-of-28 through the air for 264 yards with no turnovers, hooking up twice with Amari Cooper on scoring passes as the Crimson Tide (13-1) dominated from start to finish in posting a resounding win for their second straight BCS national championship.
Eddie Lacy rambled for 140 yards on 20 carries, scoring both rushing and receiving touchdowns, while Cooper finished with six grabs for 105 yards in the season-ending victory.
T.J. Yeldon provided 108 rushing yards and a score on 21 carries for the victors.
On defense, Alabama held the Fighting Irish to just 32 rushing yards as the Crimson Tide reeled off a fourth straight win following their only loss of the season Nov. 10 against Texas A&M.
Everett Golson completed 21-of-36 passes for 270 yards, a touchdown and an interception for the Irish (12-1), whose hopes for a perfect season and their first national title since 1988 were dashed.

Sad news for Bethenny Frankel fans. She and her husband, Jason Hoppy, have announced their separation. They've been married two years and have a daughter, Brynn. Bethenny and Jason have lived their entire marriage in the public eye in two reality series, most recently Bethenny Ever After. Viewers of the pair have always known they've had a bit of a rocky relationship, but there seemed to be a lot of love and commitment there too. So what happened?
About the split, Bethenny said:
This was an extremely difficult decision that as a woman and a mother, I have to accept as the best choice for our family. We have love and respect for one another and will continue to amicably co-parent our daughter who is and will always remain our first priority. This is an immensely painful and heartbreaking time for us.
The former Real Housewives star is a chef, entrepreneur, and founder of Skinnygirl Cocktails, and has always been extremely ambitious. Not to mention the breadwinner. Jason? Not so much. That really seemed to weigh on them both after awhile. "She's very focused, but he's just not driven," a source told US Weekly. The tension seemed to mount after Bethenny sold Skinnygirl, making her a very rich woman.
I'm not a regular viewer of the show, but I remember seeing an episode where the two were having dinner and all they could talk about were the differences in their paychecks. The tension was palpable. I could tell right there it was going to be a difficult ride. But Bethenny also seemed so grateful to finally have a family, and I saw plenty of scenes where Jason accepted her wholeheartedly for who she was.
But the end seemed near when Bethenny appeared on Watch What Happens Live and, when asked how Jason was, replied, "I don't know, he's always on golf trips." They also reportedly spent months apart over the summer.
I guess a lot of people saw this one coming from the get-go, but I'd held out hope for them. Who knows, since they haven't actually filed for divorce, maybe there's still hope. Stranger things have happened!
Are you surprised by this news?

Designer Challenge - Layout Template - Deadline March 28
Heather: i think you made a nice template!
Heather, I like your template.It has spaces for lots of creativity. Ditto: what everyone else said too.
WOW! these templates are amazing!! this is a tough challenge (the Best kind!) and i'm waffling on trying, but your work is inspiring and makes me want to try!! so cool to see all your different styles
I used an existing layout (below template) as the basis but some of the elements were very themey so I changed it up a little...
Great job Molly. Love your little doodle at the bottom also.
Great template, Molly! And what a fun layout!
Here is my design. It was a fun challenge. Love the different ideas everyone had! You can download my template in either PNG format, or PSD Format, from my BOX account, here.
(The letters and numbers correspond to the layer name, so that they can be located more easily in the Layers pallet.)
Sunny what a brilliant idea having numbers and letters that corresponds to the layers. I hope you don't mind if I use your idea for future projects?
Hopefully this will work for those of you who want to use the template. Feel free to give a holler if you have any problems (haven't tried doing this before).
Okay...for the stats...this is a Photoshop document. Everything is on separate layers and has the option to either keep or get rid of shadowing (I know I like to have that option). The download link can be found here.
Great submissions everyone! Thanks for participating!

Reeven RCCT-0901SP Review
Venturing off into the world of overclocking can mean serious business. In addition to the latest hardware, one also needs adequate cooling. Whether someone is overclocking their processor, video card, or RAM, heat will always be a common factor that comes into play. Let's say you want to achieve a major overclock on your processor; well you're going to need a heatsink capable of cooling it down to a certain extent where it becomes stable and safe. Now, if you want to just slightly overclock it, considering an aftermarket cooler is still recommended as it can extend the life of your CPU and prevent unstable jitters while using your computer. With that said, there is a new company out on the block that might have the cooler for you, Reeven! Reeven is a newly formed company established in 2008 in hopes of providing the best quality products out there. To sum up how serious Reeven is, here is a quote taken from the companies website "Tools for Professionals, The professionals never compromise the quality, the performance and its beauty".
Closer Look:
The packaging for the Reeven cooler is quite informative with details, specifications, and pictures. The front of the package shows a picture of the Reeven RCCT cooler in all its glory showcasing its 92mm fan and H.D.C.S. (Heatpipe Direct Contact Solution) copper base. The left side of the package shows the two main features of the cooler, one picture showing the H.D.C.S. base and the other picture explaining a design called "A.A.C.S" (Adjusted Air-Channel Structure). The opposite side of the package lists the specifications of the cooler in multiple languages. You can also see a picture informing you with the dimensions of the cooler. The back of the package has pictures showing you the universal socket clips (Socket 478, Socket 775, Socket AM2/AM2+/940/939/754).
Upon opening the package, is a unique enclosure that protects the heatpipes from any damage. Aside from that, the package did not come with any foam to house the cooler. Under the cooler was a box filled with accessories.
Inside the box was an installation manual, thermal compound, mounting clips, and four screws.
Now that we have the packaging and accessories out of the way, let's take a look at the main attraction!


text: Time to review your trademark specifications: Do you need to make an Article 28 declaration? Intellectual Property Update Share this 17 MAR 2016 What's happening? The amending Trade Mark Regulation 2016 [1] will come into force on 23 March 2016. One of the things it will do is to codify the new approach adopted by OHIM (to be renamed the EUIPO) following the IP Translator case [2] regarding the scope of protection of trade mark specifications; in particular where trade mark specifications consist of class headings of the Nice Classification. The Regulation will explicitly confirm that for European Union Trade Marks (EUTM, replacing the old name of CTMs) where a trade mark specification is drafted by reference to a Nice class heading or general terms, only those goods and services covered by the literal meaning of the class heading or general term will be protected. This is consistent with the provisions of the Regulation dealing with new applications which require goods and services in respect of which protection is being sought to "be identified by the applicant with sufficient clarity and precision to enable the competent authorities and economic operators, on that sole basis, to determine the extent of the protection sought" (Article 28(2)). What does this mean? Proprietors of Community trade marks applied for prior to 22 June 2012, that are registered in in respect of an entire class heading, will have a six month grace period from 23 March 2016 to 23 September 2016 to make an Article 28(8) declaration. Such declarations will allow trade mark proprietors to clarify from an alphabetical list which goods and services they had intended to seek to protect with their trade mark specification i.e. beyond those covered by the pure literal meaning of the class heading. Action required This is a one-off opportunity for you to review and clarify to your EUTM specifications. If a declaration is not filed, after the grace period expires, marks will automatically be limited to cover the goods and services literally described by the class heading only. The onus is on Community trade mark proprietors to take action within the grace period. It is worth auditing your trade mark portfolio to check whether you have used class headings in your CTM specifications and whether a declaration can and should be made. We are happy to advise further and to assist with reviewing your trade mark portfolios. For further information, please contact [email protected]. ________________________________________ [1] Regulation (EU) No 2015/2424 of the European Parliament and the Council amending the Community Trade Mark Regulation [2] Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys v Registrar of Trademarks Case C-307/10

The series overal was good. It wasnt the best but i enjoyed it very much. The ending was fun too.
But i have a question. After the last episode, after the ED there was a briefe sort of preview thing from Raquell, was that related to story at all?.

i see thanks.
Also i got a few other question from last episode.
When Pacifica went to seria was she dead ( or suposed to be)?. How about seria?
From what i undrestood, Pacifica was supposed to die at the age of 16 and with her death system would get canceled right?. So her dieing ten hours sooner actually helped her survive and not die ( in other words because she died earlier and talked with seria she was saved)?. right?
Also was the purpose ( the reason why) of the aliens attacking humans stated at all in the series?.
Also wasnt the reason Seria betrayed them that her brother and sisters died?.
Lastly what was that shield that was created around the earth when pacifia entered the seria dimension?.
and what was that dragon at the end?

Way back when I'd first heard the basic premise of this series, I thought it could run in an interesting political-intrigue direction. The theory ran like this: the prophecy is merely a fabrication crafted by a cabal (consisting of key religious, political, and corporate figures) which has been seeking to become the power behind the throne for decades now. If you're familiar with XIII or Metal Gear Solid, you're on your way to seeing how this could go.

What i was confused was the main reason. In the series it is mentioned as soon as Humans reach the stars the Alien attack. Also it was mentioned that because of the war between Aliens and humans, the Human population was becoming extinct. Wasnt it then the Alien's fault for that?.
If she hadnt betrayed them, They might have won and her brother and sisters wouldnt have had to die. dont you agree ?.

I just finished watching Scrapped Princess. I forgot who recommended it. Pretty good. Everyone having the same damn (hair) bangs irritated me, though. The Furee arc was the highlight of the series IMO, even though it's not an innovative theme or anything.
There are several things in the series I would have changed, though. I'll fanfic a bit below, in abridged form. Read only if you've already seen Scrapped Princess.
1. Episode with masked man and fake S Princess:
The masked man/ Inquisitor's reason for betraying the town was very convoluted and tacked-on. They should have kept him as a Lord Browning faithful, who attempted to sacrifice his own followers to deal a devastating strike to a Mauser-worshipping city. Then the theme would have been "no matter which religion is right, fanaticism is never justified" which is much better and appropriate for the series. Trying to distract me from this shortcoming by making him ugly did not work.
2. Prince Forsythe (Princess's twin brother) coming back to life is dumb. No one should come back to life, especially someone who has no objective importance in "God's eyes." After killing Pacifica, he shouldn't have tried to kill himself, and should have just waited for Shannon to charge over and kill him. Then Chris (the special forces boy) would protect him from Shannon's rage, telling Shannon "What good would this serve!?" Soon enough, Shannon would redirect his anger at the Peacemakers who appear overhead in the sky. Prince would live, and later on rule as a wise and just king.
3. Here's what I would have changed about the final space battle, Pacifica's death, and the Shannon-Zephirus-Cz relationship.
Final space battle:
Cz - The scrapped princess is dead. I will not participate in this meaningless battle.
Galil - As Steyr would say, this is for my own satisfaction. I will not require your help in my 1st Class Divine Punishment Manifestation. <transforms to ultimate form>
1st Class Galil and Sephirus/Gigantes fight. Galil should kill at least 1 Gigantes. Then Galil should outmaneuver Sephirus and zero in on her.
Shannon - Damn!
Cz, transforming into 1st Class, flies in and blocks Galil's energy blast. Sephirus takes the opportunity to annihilate Galil. The 2 remaining Gigantes dive towards the damaged Cz.
Shannon - Wait! No!!
The Gigantes cut Cz in half across the waist. Her body falls towards Earth and appears to burn up in space.
Pacifica talk with Cecilia in virtual space. Pacifica makes the same decision. But she should not come back to life. She dies in the real world.
With the world at peace, Zephirus and Shannon part ways. Zephirus has shown more humanity than all of the godlings, but IMO she would ultimately leave Earth after her last mission is completed. In doing so, she becomes truly independent. Like her 1st master, I think her heart belongs to the stars.
Back home, Shannon would find Cz waiting for him.
Shannon - ... Cz? You're alive!
Cz - I am still functional. But without the Mauser central system, the damage I sustained is irreparable. I can no longer assume my Divine Manifestations, and I will completely degrade after a few decades.
Shannon - ...
Cz - With the self-termination of Mauser and the Providence System, my directives have become obsolete. I have no more purpose, Shannon.
Shannon - Screw the directives. A person finds her own purpose in life. What do you want for your existence?
Cz gazes at Shannon for a long moment. Shannon comes to a realization.
A year later, Shannon is pacing restlessly outside the cabin. His sister and a midwife is inside. Cz, his wife, gives birth to a daughter.
Raquel, in surprised tone - Shannon! Come and see!
Shannon runs in, expecting some horrid scene. Everything seemed pretty normal. Cz looks tired, but ok. Raquel is holding a healthy baby girl, but she has a strange expression on her face. Shannon looks closer at the baby.
Shannon - Cz! What- what's going on? What have you done!? Is this some kind of joke!?
Cz - This was the last directive given to me by Mauser before her self-termination. However, it is carried out by my own free will. This is my gift to you, and my penance.
Shannon - Do you think this will bring my sister back!?
Cz - ...
Raquel - Pamela.
Shannon - What?
Raquel smiles - Name her Pamela. You didn't see it, but... when she was Pamela, she was truly happy.
Raquel - We'll make sure she has a happy life, won't we?

Oh, I absolutely loved this series. I thought all the characters were perfect. By far my favorite was Raquel. She was a great sister. ^_^ Being a ridiculously good mage and then spawning a ton of little dragons. And despite acting like a spoiled brat a lot (something I don't like), I think Pacifica was a great character. Very pretty, too. ^^;
I've said this before, but I need my animes to end happily. For whatever reason, even though I consider myself a man's man, I get really emotional if an anime doesn't end happily. This is one of my favorite happy endings. Everyone goes home happy. ^_^ I even watch the ending of this anime over and over after watching a depressing anime to cheer me up. Like when I finished Chrono Crusade I pretty much cried. So I had to watch the ending of SP again.
This is definitely one of my favorite animes. I feel it was so good that it's actually one of the animes that I absolutely would enjoy watching multiples times over. The only problem is that I have so much anime backlogged already (with some 16 more series going to be added by the end of May) that I never get a chance to! I have to set aside a down weekend in early June and watch this series again in a marathon.

Alright I just got done watching this series. I bought the brick cause I like fantasy/adventure stuff.
Overall, I thought it was a pretty well done series that suffers from a weak ending. It seemed as though the writer got blocked so it was "deus ex machina time!!!!1"

Hmm... I don't know how I still haven't seen this anime yet. I just started it like a week ago. I'm up to episode 11 now, and I think it's great. I still feel as if they could have done more with the story. Shannon is kind of weak in my opinion since he needs the strength of Zefiris or whatever her name is.

I just finished watched the series and thought it was definitely above average. Some thoughts:
Ending - A bit disappointed, as it leaves a number of unresolved issues. At the very top is the Forciss/Pacifica ordeal; how can Pacifica stay after something like that? Not to mention all the murders, backstabbing, and assassination attempts by the government. It would've been much more believable if Pacifica and her siblings fled to the Giat empire and/or allied themselves with Princess Seness; at the very least they wouldn't be on the run all the time, nor be treated as scapegoats.
Other headscratching elements include the whole deal with Mauser (her arguments are so flawed that I don't know where to start), the unresolved romantic elements (siscon for the win, perhaps?), and the Winia/Chris coupling (an example of the Stockholm Syndrome?)
Romantic possibilities - No shortage of love triangles, as Pacifica and Shannon have their share of suitors.
For Pacifica:
Shannon - The most obvious possibility if she can overcome her oni-chan complex (but then, this IS anime...). She confesses her love to him at the end of the very first episode, and her affection and care for him is very obvious - not to mention her jealousy whenever someone else gets his attention. He in turn is very protective of Pacifica, and cares for her above everything else. Perhaps the most important relationship in the entire show.
Leo - He has a good heart, but is ultimately ineffective and cannot measure up to Shannon. Pacifica clearly sees him as a good friend, but he'll clearly remain second best as long as Shannon is there.
Fulle - I suppose you could call him Shannon 2.0. A lot of possibilities, if fate hadn't intervened...
For Shannon:
Pacifica - At this point he still sees her as his baby sister. It all depends on whether he will start to see her differently; if so, it's game, set, and match. But it may take some time for this to happen.
Zefiris - Quite possibly the most developed character in the show. She goes from an outside agent who uses the Casulls to carry out her own objectives to a genuinely loving guide and servant. In terms of maturity, wisdom, and dedication, she is at a level that no human can ever hope to reach. And she can go far beyond normal means of intimacy, as she can actually merge with a human - can't get much closer than that.
Shannon's trust issues and the fact that she is not human probably takes her out of the running - but nevertheless, a very interesting and well-done character.
CZ - Has an obvious crush on Shannon and they do seem quite compatible. But she wants Pacifica's blood, and is absolutely inflexible on that matter. Would've been in the running if she had given up on that matter... if she was human, that is. Well, at least they got to share an umbrella.

Having watched this about 1.5 years ago, I can't quite remember exact details about the ending anymore. I do vaguely recall that it felt rushed.
I'd agree with you to this extent -- the ending did indeed feel contrived. Something about Mauser wondering if it's best to let humans decide their own fates again, or to force them to live in a world of artificially repressed technology. With such a setup, what can you expect but the cliched answer? FREEDOM! (of course, meh).
That being said, I didn't mind the rushed ending that much, because I did enjoy the story and its characters. I also recall some pretty well-written lines. The whole idea of a sci-fi background for a fantasy story is a well-worn stereotype by now, and it usually leads to a plot filled with predictable "technology so advanced that it is indistinguishable from magic" cliches. But at least Pacifica was a lovable character -- even if she was a bit irritating at times.
In any case, I highly doubt if Pacifica would have been so easily drawn to Fulle had she not been suffering from amnesia at the time. But that's just me.
I'm not so sure that she had a "crush" per se though. She was definitely very attached to Shannon, but I suspect that it was more due to a sense of family, rather than romantic feelings.

PEMBROKE, N.C. – Teon Beckett knocked down the game winning three-pointer with five seconds left on the clock to lead the Coker men's basketball team to an 89-85 win over Belmont Abbey on Friday (Nov. 15). With the win the Cobras improve to 1-0 on the season, and move to 1-0 at the UNCP Invitational.
In addition to game winning three-ball, Beckett scored 11 points and pulled down three rebounds. Julian Nelson and Larry Felder led the offense for the Cobras with 19 points each. Felder has had a team high nine boards, while Nelson dished out five assists and had six rebounds. Also scoring in double digits for Coker was Trey Marshall with 11 points.
The game started slow for the Cobras as they found themselves down 8-0 after the first three minutes of action. A 9-4 run cut the lead to just three, 12-9, and got Coker right back in the game. The Cobras tied the game at 28 with 7:28 left, but 6-0 run by the Crusaders put them back on top with just under five minutes left. The Cobras kept things close for the remainder of the half, as Belmont Abbey took a 44-38 lead into the intermission.
In the second half the Cobras trailed for the first nine and half minutes of play, but were always within striking distance. They took their first lead of the game, 65-63, at 10:33 after back-to-back three-pointers by Marshall and Errick Bethel. Abbey regained the lead with a three ball of its own just 30 seconds later.
The Crusaders held the advantage until a 7-0 run by the Cobras tied the game at 74 with five minutes left. Both teams kept the score close over the next four minutes, with neither team gaining more than a two-point advantage until Beckett nailed the go ahead and eventual game-winning three with five seconds left, giving Coker the 88-85 lead. Nelson hit a free throw with a second left to give the Cobras the 89-85 win.
The Cobras will return to the floor for their second game of the UNCP Invitational on Saturday (Nov. 16) at 4 p.m. against the Saints of Limestone College.

Glenn Zior's neighbors in Mount Airy have never been bothered by lights flashing four hours every night and traffic filling the narrow street as car after car stops to watch and maybe leave a donation, he said.
In fact, many have asked him when his annual display will be ready. The lights will be on this weekend, he has promised.
"Neighbors love the display, and a few have complained that it hasn't gone up yet," he said.
Days before he tackled the annual remaking of his front yard into a holiday wonderland, Zior estimated he was short about 10,000 lights. His glowing display has grown exponentially since 2008, when he first built it as a fundraiser for Court Appointed Special Advocates of Frederick County.
The 46-year-old Mount Airy resident rarely loses lights and buys strings at post-Christmas sales to replenish and augment the supply stored in his attic, basement and wherever else space is available. But as the electrifying gets under way in late November, there never seems to be enough. Over a Thanksgiving vacation in Florida, Zior lucked out when he found 75 more hefty boxes at a half-off sale and carted those home with him.
Zior, a software engineer, has volunteered at CASA for five years and is now working with his third foster child. He is one of dozens of trained advocates who befriend children in foster care and speak for them, often to the courts. Last year, his display helped raise about $1,100 for the Frederick chapter, and Zior hopes to add to that figure this year.
"You are the person who can really make a difference in the life of a child in foster care," he said. "These kids have no choice about their situations, and many see them as on the lowest rung of the ladder. CASA really can help."
The funds raised are only one of the benefits, said Christy Kehlbeck, case supervisor at CASA.
"Glenn's efforts also get the word out that there is a need for this advocacy group," she said. "It gets people thinking of vulnerable children."
Because of that recent vacation, Zior, who has built the entire display himself and does most of the setting up, started a bit later this year. But neighbors have seen the work in progress and know the lights will go on soon.
Steven Ioannides, 12, who lives across the street, said he always "checks it all out as soon as it's done. The music is great, too."
The music comes from a transmitter in Zior's attic. Visitors just hit 95.3 FM on the car radio and can watch lights turn from white to red to green to the strains of "White Christmas," "Carol of the Bells" and other few favorites.
"People come from all around, not just the neighborhood," Joanne Honsberger, a neighbor. "They turn on their radios and listen to the songs as they go by. It's really quite impressive, and we look forward to it every year. We know there will be something more."
Zior even built his 6-foot-tall Frosty the Snowman — who has no inflatable parts — a collapsible shed to protect his electrified head from the weather. All the pieces are numbered to facilitate easy reconstruction each year. Santa stays indoors and his remotely controlled image waves from the second-story window.
"Kids think Santa is in my attic, and they wave back to him," Zior said.
A video of an elaborate display inspired him a few years ago, and he has steadily added to his collection until there is little more space on the lawn for additions.
"It's a structural display," he said. "I don't just throw everything I can find on the lawn."
The 30-foot-high megatree alone gleams with 12,000 lights. His to-be-lit list includes arches, new this year, that allow colorful flashes of light to leap across the lawn; dozens of smaller trees; the towering Frosty; wreaths; all the landscaping; the bay windows; the roof; driveway and sidewalk. And in a nod to Hanukkah, a 4-by-8-foot rooftop Star of David is bright enough and high enough to guide traffic from Main Street to the home.
"You can see the star from a long ways away," he said.
And the display adds only minimally — less than $100 for the month of extra lights — to the family's electric bill.

If you want to hear more about the candidates, as well as local measures, Santa Monica actually has a great website, smvote.org, with short videos with candidate's views on some various topics of local concern, and a calender of some of the upcoming election related events along with links to various voter resources. The Santa Monica Daily Press also has answers to a questionnaire for each candidate. A question on making Santa Monica more bike friendly is in there as well, so each candidate is on the record in some form on bikes. Due to the lack of specifics a single question can get into, I also sent a letter with questions to each candidate of my own, and any candidates who return answers will have them posted to this blog.
Finally, Santa Monica Spoke managed to squeeze in an election event amidst all the others going on, for this Thursday Night. It will be an informal gathering with a chance to meet some of the candidates as well as mingle with other area cyclists and advocates. It's a unique opportunity to talk face to face with council candidates, and some incumbents seeking re-election, and share your concerns, I'll be there as well, and I hope you can make it out. There will be some snacks and drinks and such as well. Be heard, this will be a chance where you aren't constrained to a 2 minute comment.
