- One peak
so i got up, walked out to where i catch the boat, got a boat, arranged a pickup time, and jumped off into an empty reef with no affects due to tide. head high swell, and i couldnt be more thrilled. 3 weeks later i was still suffering from the severe sunburn I recieved these couple of days, but nyway, I jump off the boat almost right into a wave. I surf for the following 5 or 6 hours, Im not really sure. but long story short, the boat never came back, no one ever showed up, and the tide never turned, so essentially it was sick, epic, out of control,.....until it was time to go home. fortunatly there was land close by, but we were seperated by an urchin encrusted reef. when I couldnt stand to paddle anymore I decided to give the reef a go, nd try my luck on land. caught a wave in, rode the whitewash on my belly through the shallows. the water receeds for the oncomming wave, and im left high and dry on this reef. the wave breaks, and im tossing around in a few inches of water. I ride that backwash back out past the reef and curse to myself for trying that. but im still faced with the challenge of getting back. i ride acouple more waves, and give it another go. this time i find the pass, and safley paddle all the way to the beach. I jumped on the back of a dumptruck, made small talk with the workers in back and got off when they took me as far as they could. I walked the rest of the way. ended up with some serious gouges in the bottom of my board, but nothing I couldnt handle fixing.

Continuing a recent string of disappointments, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) revealed weaker-than-expected fiscal fourth-quarter earnings growth of 24% on Thursday, though the tech titan's sales narrowly topped forecasts. Apple, which is known for giving ultra cautious guidance, also projected results for the current quarter that would widely miss estimates. Shares of the world's most valuable company dropped 1.07% to $603.29 in after-hours trading, continuing their recent slump. The slide weighed on U.S. stock index futures as well. Apple said it earned $8.2 billion, or $8.67 a share, last quarter, compared with a profit of $6.6 billion, or $7.05 a share, a year earlier. Wall Street anticipated more robust EPS of $8.75. Revenue jumped 27.2% to $36 billion and international sales accounted for roughly 60% of that haul. Analysts had been projecting sales of $35.80 billion. Gross margins slipped to 40% from 40.3% the year before. "We're very proud to end a fantastic fiscal year with record September quarter results," CEO Tim Cook said in a statement. "We're entering this holiday season with the best iPhone, iPad, Mac and iPod products ever, and we remain very confident in our new product pipeline." Driven by the new iPhone 5, Apple sold 26.9 million iPhones last quarter, up 58% year-over-year and above the 25 million to 26 million analysts had been forecasting. Apple also said it is working to make more iPhones ahead of the holidays. On the other hand, Apple logged a 26% increase in iPad sales last quarter to 14 million, significantly missing forecasts. The tech company sold 4.9 million Macs, representing a 1% year-over-year bump. Sales of iPods continue to ebb, shrinking 19% from a year earlier to 5.3 million. Like many companies, Apple suffered from slowing sales around the world. The company said European sales gained 8% to $8.24 billion, while Asia Pacific revenue gained 15% to $7.89 billion. Yet revenue in Japan surged 113% to $2.01 billion and sales in the Americas climbed 43% to $12.81 billion. Looking ahead, Apple forecasted fiscal first-quarter revenue of about $52 billion and EPS of $11.75. By comparison, Wall Street was looking for far stronger sales of $55.02 billion and EPS of $15.43. U.S. stock futures retreated on the numbers and guidance from Apple, which carries a huge weighting in many indexes, especially the Nasdaq 100. In recent action the S&P 500 declined 0.67%, while the Nasdaq slumped 1.4%. Long known for blowing away its conservative forecasts, this marks Apple's third earnings miss over the past several quarters. More recently, Apple's shares have tumbled nearly $100, or about 13.5%, since cruising to all-time highs of $705.07 last month. The steep descent was largely triggered by the company saying it sold about 5 million iPhone 5 units in the opening weekend, well below analyst estimates. Earlier this week Apple unveiled a mini version of its iPad that will be priced at $329, higher than some had been anticipating and significantly higher than rival devices by Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Google (NASDAQ:GOOG). Even before its earnings report Apple was in focus on Thursday as Bloomberg News reported the tech company accelerated efforts to launch an online music service as early as the first quarter, sending shares of Pandora Media (NYSE:P) plummeting to all-time lows.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb women's soccer team will keep on the road this weekend, traveling to Tennessee Chattanooga for a Friday evening tilt with the Lady Moccasins at 6 p.m. The Lady Bisons will then head to Mississippi for a match at SWAC foe Jackson State, Sunday, beginning at 2 p.m.
Lipscomb (1-2-1) picked up its first victory of the campaign, last Friday, in a 3-1 victory over Nicholls State. Senior Meghan McGuire scored her second goal of the young season, while senior Kirsten Heikkinen and junior Courtney Williams scored their first goals of the campaign.
Sunday, the Lady Bisons dropped a 1-0 heartbreaker, on the road, to Tennessee Martin. The offense sputtered in that contest, with a mere five shots on goal (three for the Lady Skyhawks, two by Lipscomb) being accumulated by both squads.
The Lady Bisons played a bit shorthanded Sunday, with a myriad of issues affecting the availability of a large group of players. Six players played the full 90 minutes against Tennessee Martin, but head coach Jon Ireland believes most players will be back at full strength this weekend.
Chattanooga enters the match with a 1-1-1 record, with a loss to Austin Peay sandwiched around a victory over Tennessee Tech (2-1, Aug. 19) and a tie with Gardner-Webb (3-3, Aug. 28).
Junior Becca Smith has paced the offense in the early going, netting a goal against Gardner-Webb and two more against Tennessee Tech for the team lead.
The Lady Bisons defeated UT Chattanooga to open the 2010 campaign, with McGuire and Hunter Summers netting goals for the Bison. Junior keeper Erin Zerio made six saves in the contest, including one in the games waning moments to preserve the victory.
For the Lady Tigers, they have only played one game in 2011, an 8-0 drubbing at the hands of Ole Miss. Senior Liana Knight earned SWAC Defensive Player of the Week honors, putting two shots on goal against the Rebels for the 2010 SWAC Tournament Champions.
Last season, the Lady Bisons defeated Jackson State, 1-0, via a ninth-minute own goal in Nashville. Zerio picked up the shutout, stopping one shot, while Jackson State's Allison Lane stopped five in the losing effort.
Lipscomb continues its road tour next weekend at Mississippi State's Bulldog Classic. Friday, Sep. 9, the Lady Bison take on Southern Miss at 4 p.m. Lipscomb will finish the tournament by taking on host Mississippi State Sunday, Sep. 11, at 2 p.m.

Putting a nice feather in Gabriele Del Torchio's cap, 2011 was the best sales year ever for Ducati. The product of several years in the making, Ducati has transitioned from a sport bike based company, to a brand that encompasses a variety of diverse biking genres. The transition began with the Ducati Hypermotard, continued with the Ducati Multistrada 1200, and culminated with the Ducati Diavel. Bringing the brand back to its roots, the Italian company released the sellout Ducati 1199 Panigale this year.
All of this positioning has taken Ducati from its traditionally precarious market position to one of not only reasonable stability, but also one that has proven to be lucrative enough to attract an acquisition from German automaker Audi. With a record number of machines leaving the doors of the Borgo Panigale factory, and Ducati's cash finally flowing in the right direction, Del Torchio had plenty to wax on about at the World Ducati Week 2012 event. Giving some oratory high-fives at the massive Ducatisti gather, Ducati's record year and transformation by the numbers is outlined after the jump.

Reading 2: Technological Advancements and Experimentation at Navesink and Robbins Reef Lighthouses
Because Navesink and Robbins Reef Lighthouses aided in marking the nation's busiest port, the federal government used both for several successful technological experiments that significantly improved maritime safety. Throughout history, the purpose of a lighthouse's light has been to provide mariners with a fixed point of reference to guide them through waters at night or during bad weather when the shore or an offshore hazard cannot be seen clearly. Thus, the most important advancements in lighthouse technology over the years often have focused on the light itself.
The Fresnel lens, invented by a French scientist named Augustin Fresnel in 1822, quickly revolutionized lighthouses in Europe. The Fresnel lens looked like a glass beehive. A circular glass lens surrounded a light source at the center and prisms added to the top and bottom of the lens helped concentrate the light into a horizontal beam. A prism is a piece of glass cut with precise angles and plane faces, which reflects or refracts (bends) light waves. Fresnel lenses came in seven different sizes or "orders"—first, second, third, third-and-one-half, fourth, fifth and sixth—depending on the intensity of the light desired. Each lens was further classified as revolving or fixed. A revolving lens produced a flashing light as the lens rotated around the light source. A fixed lens produced a constant beam of light. Different flashes or "characteristics" helped mariners distinguish one lighthouse from another. The largest or first-order lens was almost 8 feet tall and more than 6 feet in diameter. It was intended for use in coastal lighthouses that needed to be visible from great distances. The smaller lenses (fourth, fifth, and sixth-orders) were used in lighthouses marking harbors or bays. A fourth-order lens was approximately 2 ½ feet tall and 1 ½ feet in diameter.
The United States was slower to adopt this new technology. At the time the Fresnel lens was invented all U.S. lighthouses were equipped with oil lamps in front of silver-plated pieces of copper that reflected the light. This system used vast quantities of oil and provided only a weak light. The Fresnel lens, on the other hand, captured and focused a much larger portion of the light emitted by lamps than did reflectors, and required less oil. In 1841, the first Fresnel lenses in the United States were placed in service in the original Navesink light towers. The federal government installed a fixed, first-order lens atop the south tower and a revolving, second-order lens atop the north tower. When the towers were rebuilt in 1862, the south tower's first-order lens was moved to the new tower, while the north-tower's lens was upgraded to a first-order.
By 1851, the industrial revolution had begun to transform America. Yet only two additional lighthouses had received Fresnel lenses. These were Sankaty Head in Massachusetts and Brandywine Shoal, an offshore lighthouse in the Delaware Bay. In 1852, the newly formed Lighthouse Board affirmed that "the lights at Navesink (two lenses) and the second order lens at Sankaty Head, Nantucket, are the best lights on the coast of the United States" and that they "are to be considered, as a general rule, equal to European lights of the same classes." When comparing the lights at Navesink with the light at nearby Sandy Hook the report concluded that "the relative useful effect of the Navesink and Sandy Hook lights is in the proportion of 5.2 to 1; or, the Navesink lights are 5.2 times more powerful and effective than the Sandy Hook Light."1 The success of the new lenses at Navesink convinced the Lighthouse Board to convert all outdated lighting equipment at existing lighthouses to Fresnel lenses but it would take more than a decade to do so. A fourth-order Fresnel lens was installed at Robbins Reef in 1855.
In 1875, Robbins Reef was selected as a location to conduct additional lighting experiments. It was chosen in part because it was located close to the federal Lighthouse Depot on Staten Island, Here the Lighthouse Board experimented with the use of kerosene in the lamps rather than the colza oil or lard oil being used at the time. Kerosene produced a more brilliant light than lard oil, which gave off a lot of smoke when burned. Successful tests convinced the Lighthouse Board to begin converting lamps over to kerosene in 1878 for lighthouses that contained fourth-order or smaller lenses. In 1883, a new revolving fourth-order lens was installed at the top of the new Robbins Reef lighthouse. The lens was illuminated by a kerosene lamp and kerosene was also tested in conjunction with the larger lens of Navesink. A kerosene lamp was first placed in Navesink's north tower, where it was also successful, and the fuel soon replaced lard oil as the standard for the larger lenses found in coastal lighthouses. The following year, a kerosene lamp was placed in the south tower at Navesink.
The next significant technological event at Navesink occurred in 1898, when the Lighthouse Board purchased a new type of lens from the French Government called a "bivalve" Fresnel lens. It consisted of 386 separate lenses around a central bull's eye lens. The bivalve lens was 9 feet in diameter and 5 feet high and resembled a giant clam shell. At the center of the lens was an electric lamp, which produced a superior light. After some indecision on the part of the Lighthouse Board about which lighthouse would receive the lens, the south Navesink tower became its destination. Upon installation, Navesink became the first coastal lighthouse in America to be powered by electricity. The Board thought that the importance of marking the entrance to New York Harbor warranted placing the lens here and the high elevation of the lighthouse contributed to the light's visibility. Flashing once every five seconds for the duration of 1/10 of a second, it was visible for 22 miles at sea. The powerful lens made Navesink the brightest lighthouse in the United States and there was little danger of it being mistaken for another coastal light. Thus, the north tower light was no longer necessary and was reduced to backup status.
Other significant experiments conducted at Navesink were related to communication technology. In 1899, an Italian scientist and inventor named Guglielmo Marconi placed an antenna and receiving station at the Navesink Lighthouse to demonstrate his wireless telegraph. Marconi's wireless telegraph sent a message in Morse code, which was transmitted via electromagnetic waves. The New York Herald newspaper had hired Marconi to bring his wireless telegraph to the United States and report on the 1899 America's World Cup yacht races being held off the tip of Sandy Hook, New Jersey. The demonstration worked so well that Marconi expanded his American operation. He established the nation's first commercial wireless telegraph station at Navesink capable of sending and receiving messages on a regular basis. Eventually Marconi's ship-to-shore communications equipment would become standard on ocean-going vessels, improving the safety of maritime transportation. Marconi's experiments led to the development of commercial wireless telegraph equipment, which became the forerunner of modern radio communications.
The United States Army also used Navesink as a test site for experimental electronics and detection devices. From July 30 to August 9, 1935, heat-seeking equipment known as thermopiles were used to track ships approaching New York Harbor. The Army Signal Corp was in the process of experimenting with various methods of doing this and needed a high vantage point to test their equipment. The unparalleled view from the hill of the Navesink Lighthouse provided that vantage point. The tests required the use of a powerful searchlight, so mariners were warned of its use. Four years later, in 1939, the Army Signal Corp was again at the lighthouse. This time they tested the effects of higher altitude on long-range radar sets. Once testing was completed all evidence of the top-secret radar equipment was removed.
Questions for Reading 2
1. What year was the Fresnel lens invented? By whom
2. Describe the appearance of Fresnel lenses. How did they work?
3. Using the classroom floor or wall, measure the height of a first-order and a fourth-order Fresnel lens. Why do you think Navesink Lighthouse received first- and second-order Fresnel lenses, while Robbins Reef received a fourth-order lens?
4. What were some of the "firsts" at Navesink Lighthouse? What were some of the reasons Navesink and Robbins Reef were considered good places to conduct technological experiments?

Oh cool new simcity game. I loved the last one, but a new one is welcome. If that video is indicative of how the game will look (not play apparently, little flash text popped up) then it will def allow for some seriously cool buildings and design.
Always on sucks though, it's not that good as a DRM method either. Unless the important stuff is saved server side it'll just be pirated around. I also liked playing simcity while I was on traveling and didn't have Internet. It was my go to game for that. I really couldn't care for the social networking BS they keep pushing. I dont want the possibility of some schlub ruining my grand design. But we'll see.

I hope that it isn't Origin exclusive and that they (more in general really) pull their heads out of their asses in regards to pricing. When the AU$ is worth just as much or more then the US$ why do we have to pay upwards of $40 more.

Hmm. I did not like how goods were handled in SimCity 4, because they were 100% sent out of the city. Therefore, all freight traffic aimed out of the city. Commerical zones need goods too, right?

Ohh a new SimCity groovy!
........oh wait constant internet connection?
No thanks. Guess I'll have to stick with the old SimCity games.
NOt even sure I'd actually be into a Simcity these days even tho I did play it alot back in the day.
I liked SimCity 4 alot but think I played 3000 alot more, Simcity along with Football Manager games were massive massive time sinks for me.

Yea I've loved Sim City 2, 3, and 4 a lot. I liked 4 the best because you couldn't herp derp by skimping on utilities (Water was worthless in 2k) But I missed the arcos.
I also liked deleting bridges when people were driving across them. Yea, I'm an asshole.
There were also a ton of mods and addons you could have. Having a ton of starbucks plop up in my suburbs so I could knock them off was amusing as well. The region system would let you have a large city, and then you could proceed to create suburban spinoffs that could leech off the major cities.
Though I'd break the suspension of disbelief by creating a ton of garbageville cities (Cities that just generate power and collect trash, and I'd never go back to them again.
The best part of Sim City is the subway system. Good thing it's not mixed into the water system like 2. So space efficient but elegant.

The human response to another city's policies will be... interesting for sure. It'll all come down to how people will deal with these things, which will create some very dynamic situations.
On that note, I'll be curious on the role of airports this time - to create connections to cities "farther out".

Build many nuclear plants then force them into meltdown! Irradiate the region for justice!
But if you wanted to be a grand prick, around the edge of you map build landfill and coal power plants.
Call me crazy, but couldn't you sell/buy power and stuff from you neighbors anyway? I'm quite certain that was a feature of most of my regions. So what's new here? Sharing the pollution?
I guess the MO for building a new city will be to claim a few cities bordering each other all at once so you can set your little economies how you want them. Won't have to deal with those schlubs that come along later.

Giving Simcity 5 the ability to deliberately harm the economy of your neighbours, will in fact turn it into an RTS. The trailers got it all wrong; people who play on-line don't want to cooperate, they want to compete. Those guys aren't going to hold hands and make treaties, they are going to go out try to destroy one another. Why do you think The Sims become a murder simulator?
Most people who want to play Simcity in peace and quiet, are those who deliberately want to play off-line. I myself am far from mastering Simcity 4, and as such will stay with the old game.
I find it amusing that the trailers assume that there would only be a few griefers; The first few weeks of the game's release is going to get ugly.

If someone build a giant landfill all around his city boundary, he can do damage to everyone unlucky enough to be next to him.
And lawsuits? You are being naive. As I said earlier, gamers are a vengeful lot. If there is an option to carry out terrorist acts, they would take it.

That's why when I build my city(ies) I'm claiming at least a 10x10 or as near as I can get area in the regions. I'll use the outer layer as a buffer from everyone's pollutions and annoyances. Those boarder cities can be trading posts, nothing more, to the real city(ies).

DescriptionInternational Karate + (IK+) is a simple side-on beat 'em up. 3 characters appear on the screen - either 1 player and 2 AI, or 2 player and 1 AI - and proceed to kick seven bells out of each other via various karate moves.
Each of the moves scores a different number of points and if you come last in a particular round you are eliminated.
There are some sub-games too, involving your karate-master holding a shield and defending himself against bouncing balls from both directions, and kicking bombs off the screen before they explode.
All in the pursuit of that elusive black belt...

|IK+ backflip from movie Grease, here's proof
|chirinea (44752)
Feb 16, 2015
1001 Video GamesInternational Karate + appears in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die by General Editor Tony Mott.
Atari ST version of IK+As Archer Maclean was not impressed with Andromeda's Atari ST conversion of International Karate, he decided to do it by himself - although never worked on the ST before (source: The One issue #1, 1988/10).
CoverThe 1990 release on the Hit Squad budget label has new cover art, depicting popular action movie stars/martial artists of the time. Recognizable are Steven Seagal, Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme.
- Many sound effects (e.g., the whining when someone's struck down) are sampled from the 1973 martial arts movie Enter the Dragon, featuring Bruce Lee.
- The backflip animation was based on the fairground scene at the end of the movie Grease, where one of the background dancers performs a backflip. Archer Maclean placed cellophane over the TV, drew the dancer outline frame-by-frame (using a special video-recorder) and then put the result over a computer screen to recreate each image in pixels.
SalesThis was the biggest selling reissue on the Hit Squad label ever. Considering that their range included, to name but a few off the top of my head: Rainbow Islands, Bubble Bobble, Power Drift, Batman: The Movie, Head Over Heels (including the initial release of the Amiga/ST port) and New Zealand Story, this says something about the game's popularity.
Trouser MoveTapping the "T" key makes everyone's trousers fall down. Just goes to show that a black belt is only for display...
This move was so popular that, when the Amiga version was ported to the CD32 console in 1994, one of the controller's buttons was used to activate it. In Ignition's 2003 PlayStation port, it was also included. It can be activated with the Select button. This was also included on the Game Boy Advance version, also by Ignition, and is activated with the Select button as well.

ALFRED, NY — Alfred University put on a defensive clinic and did more than hold its own on offense in a 31-7 dismantling of visiting Ithaca on Homecoming Saturday afternoon at Merrill Field.
Ithaca came into the game unbeaten, with one of the top-rated defenses in the country, allowing only 272 yards of offense per game, including a mere 98 on the ground. The Bombers were among the nation's leaders in tackles for loss, with 8.3 per game.
On Saturday, Ithaca (4-1, 2-1 Empire 8) allowed 326 yards of offense to the Saxons, including 189 to a Saxon team that came in averaging 238 yard on the ground per contest. Junior running back Chuck Beckwith, coming off a career-high 177-yard rushing performance at Buff State two weekends ago, ran for 131 yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries. He got the bulk of the work as starting junior tailback Austin Dwyer was lost to injury in the first quarter.
The Saxons (3-1, 2-0 Empire 8) offensive line was solid, allowing the Bombers to make only two tackles behind the line of scrimmage Saturday, with no sacks allowed (the Bombers were fourth in the nation in sacks, with 4.3 per game).
AU's defense, on the other hand, was dominant. Alfred came in giving up just over 300 yards per game, including 110 rushing; against Ithaca, the Saxons allowed only 74 first-half yard of offense as the Saxons jumped to a 24-7 lead at the break. Ithaca, averaging 413 yards of offense per game coming in, including 195 on the ground, finished with only 143 yards of offense, including a mere four yards rushing, as the AU defense registered 14 tackles for loss. Bomber tailback Clay Ardoin, the nation's 16th-leading rusher with 134 yards per game, had 32 yards on 11 carries. The AU defense harassed Ithaca quarterback Phil Neumann into a 16-for-38 day with 139 yards and an interception. The Saxons sacked Neumann eight times, with senior tackle Mike Raplee earning 4 ½ sacks and another tackle for loss. Ithaca came in allowing only .67 per game.
Neither team scored in the opening quarter as each exchanged punts on their first two possessions, then turned the ball over on ensuing drives – Alfred on an interception at the Ithaca 47 and the Bombers on downs at the Alfred 34. The Saxons got on the board on their first second-quarter possession, with senior wideout David Lee Tack taking a lateral pass from junior quarterback Zach Sopak and lofting a 46-yard pass down the right sideline to a wide open junior wideout Josh Phillips to cap a six-play 66-yard drive and give AU a 7-0 lead 13 seconds into the quarter.
After Ithaca punted on its ensuing possession, the Saxons marched 86 yards in 14 plays over 6:40 with Beckwith bulling his way into the endzone from three yards out. AU senior free safety Jon Jackson (East Amherst/Bishop Timon) intercepted Neumann at the Ithaca 30-yard line on the Bombers' next possession and four plays later, Beckwith scored on a one-yard run and the Saxons led 21-0 with 2:30 left in the half.
Ithaca got on the board with 44 seconds left in the half after the Bombers recovered a fumbled punt at the Saxons' 36-yard line and scored a touchdown eight plays later. AU answered, however, as freshman wide receiver Maleke Fuentes took the ensuing kickoff 62 yards to the Ithaca 28-yard line. Four plays later, junior kicker Cody Gustin booted a 35-yard field goal as first-half clock expired, putting Alfred up 24-7.
Alfred scored its final points of the game with 4:37 left in the third, cashing in again on an Ithaca turnover. Neumann fumbled after a Raplee sack and AU recovered at the Bomber 30. Sopak found senior tight end Adam Schutz from three yards out to cap an eight play drive.
Raplee finished with eight tackles (five solo) and a forced fumble and senior end Chris Steeves had six tackles, including 2 ½ sacks. Senior strong safety Reggie Pressley had a team-leading 11 tackles, including a sack and Jackson finished eight tackles. Sophomore linebacker J.R. Britton and sophomore tackle Willie Parker each had six tackles.
Sopak finished 13-of-28 for 97 yards passing and Schutz had five catches for 38 yards and a TD. Phillips had four catches for 74 yards and a score. Gustin, making his first career start, made all four extra point tries and his lone field goal attempt.
Joel Lynch (47 receiving yards) and Joseph Ingrao (29 yards) each had three catches to lead Ithaca. Chris Williams had 12 tackles and Skyler Schlenker (one tackle for loss) and Tom Scanlon each had 10 tackles to lead the Bomber defense.
AU is in action next on Saturday, Oct. 13, at 1 p.m. at home against Empire 8 rival St. John Fisher.

Shugo Chara's New Series to Reportedly Start in October
posted on 2009-08-25 02:52 EDT
Shugo Chara Party anime program listed for October 3 premiere
The 103rd issue of Tora Dayo., the free news handout from the Toranoana bookstore chain, displays the cover from the October issue of Kodansha's Nakayoshi magazine with an announcement of a new Shugo Chara! anime program. According to the Nakayoshi cover image in Tora Dayo., Shugo Chara Party! will premiere in Japan on Saturday, October 3. The October issue of Nakayoshi will actually ship on September 3. Shugo Chara!! Doki—, the current anime series based on Peach-Pit's Shugo Chara! magical girl manga, is airing on Saturdays in Japan.
~ http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-08-25/shugo-chara-new-series-to-reportedly-start-in-october ~
That is old. That's the announcement for Shugo Chara! Party! that just ended.
Sorry, not very active anymore.
For me it can't finish cause they never showed if Nagihiko said to Amu the true and they didn't show the graduation and other reasons..
I really hope Shugo Chara will continue, because it's my favorite no matter how much they changed it. If Shugo Chara ends then my favorite J-Pop band, Buono!, might end, too--and that will my break my heart I really love Shugo Chara and I've always feared of the day it will end, but the last episode of SC didn't seem--eh--complete? It left unanswered questions in my mind.
I heard that the new anime filling Shugo Chara's space is only 13 episodes long, and Peach Pit could use that time to make SHugo Chara Encore! if it's come down to that--and I really hope that's what's happening because if it's official that SC ended~I might cry It's so weird that the ending of Shugo Chara can lead to so many other endings~Guardians4, Shugo Chara Egg!, Buono!~~they all might end if SC ends. PLEASE DON'T END SHUGO CHARA! PLEASE!!!!

I agree i don't want it to end >~<
Won't be back on till January because of school...
Why They Would:
-The cosplay really messed everything up
- Rikka was hated by almost everybody. They are probably worried that everyone will hate a newer character they will make in the future
- They actually might be running out of ideas because they only put like 15 minutes of the actual shugo chara anime in the show
- The anime is messed up by itself
-They mainly causes a war between Amuto and Tadamu fans
- Near the end it said "few days later" and that usually never shows...
-The girls said "thanks to all who watch us every week" but I dont think that means a lot.
Possible Reasons:
-Well in the manga, Rimahiko and Kuutau are showing and people want to see that.
-It could be a surprise
- The charas said near the end that it was a time for "a new class, and new beginnings"
-The only people who said good bye were the cosplay girls.
- No couples are official
- At the carnival, Yoru says "Cya later" meaning, see you another time
My Opinion:
I wouldnt mind if they ended it or not. I think the anime is off track but the manga is still great. As long as they have that up. It wouldnt be a problem. If they get rid of the manga...my inner self will come out....
If they did have a new season, it would probably have Amu,Rima, Naghiko, and Tadase in a new school. This would mean getting rid of the filliers minus Yaya
OBFFL Memories <3
I don't want this anime will over forever ......
at list ... please give us very good ending ......
*like amu will end up with **U*O or T****E*
not like SCP 25 ...
that's why I hope .. there is ... new season ....
because I love SC very much
I Love What I Love. I Hate What I Hate. :D

hey people waz up
also when u go to that web page at the bottom it should say go to home page of that website click on it and then on the side should be a serch thing type in shugo chara season 4 and click the frist one if u need help gustbook me are mail me
hey people waz up
uuuuhh ive already signed it! i really want another season (that follows the manga) with a better ending that SCP.. i was thinking maybe a new season wouldnt have to last for 51 episodes.. something less would be alright with me as long as its not like party
i think.. there's more Season in Shugo Chara after Shugo Chara Party. coz the ending was sooooo incomplete. like:
-- Hikaru's Egg didn't hatch yet and he's not yet officially a Guardian member.
-- Ikuto didn't found his dad yet.
-- Kairi didn't return.
-- it didn't show Rikka, and Hikaru being the new members of the Guardians.
-- We don't know which of the two (Tadase and Ikuto) Amu picked.
-- and it didn't show how the Middle School Life of the Characters were.
there's so many things were incomplete.
i actually don't have Shugo Chara Manga. and i think others too. making scenes and Episodes here are soooo helpful for me and others that doesn't have Shugo Chara Manga. yet other says that the one written in the Manga is better and it differs from the Episodes and Scenes here, still i love to watch it.
making my own story of Shugo Chara in my mind about what'll happen next..
-- Amu and the others will meet new friends in middle school.
-- Kairi will come back. He and Tadase will be in a contest to win Amu's heart.
-- Nagihiko will tell Amu and others that he is Nadeshiko.
-- Ikuto fill find his dad and they'll live peacefully. and Ikuto will come back for Amu.
-- Rima will have a crush in someone.
-- Kukai and Utau will be a couple.
( and moooooooore )

Auto'lycus(*)Autolu/kos), a mathematician, who is said to have been a native of Pitane in Aeolis, and the first instructor of the philosopher Arcesilaus. (D. L. 4.29.) From this, it would follow, that he lived about the middle of the fourth century B. C., and was contemporary with Aristotle. We know nothing more of his history.
WorksAutolycus wrote two astronomical treatises, which are still extant, and are the most ancient existing specimens of the Greek mathematics.
περὶ κινουμένης σφαῖρας)The first is on the Motion of the Sphere (περὶ κινουμένης σφαῖρας). It contains twelve propositions concerning a sphere which with its principal circles is supposed to revolve uniformly about a fixed diameter, whilst a fixed great circle (the horizon) always divides it into two hemispheres (the visible and invisible). Most of them are still explicitly or implicitly included amongst the elements of astronomy, and they are such as would naturally result from the first systematic application of geometrical reasoning to the apparent motion of the heavens.
The Motion of the Sphere may be considered as introductory to the second, which is on the risings and settings of the fixed stars, περὶ ἐπιτολῶν καὶ δύσεων in two books. Autolycus first defines the true risings and settings, and then the apparent. The former happen when the sun and a star are actually in the horizon together ; and they cannot be observed, because the sun's light makes the star invisible. The latter happen when the star is in the horizon, and the sun just so far below it that the star is visible, and there are in general four such phaenomena in the year in the case of any particular star; namely, its first visible rising in the morning, its last visible rising in the evening, its first visible setting in the morning, and last visible setting in the evening. In a favourable climate, the precise day of each of these occurrences might be observed, and such observations must have constituted the chief business of practical astronomy in its infancy; they were, moreover, of some real use. because these phaenomena afforded a means of defining the seasons of the year. A star when rising or setting is visible according to its brilliance, if the sun be from 10 to 18 degrees below the horizon. Autolycus supposes 15 degrees, but reckons them along the ecliptic instead of a vertical circle; and he proceeds to establish certain general propositions concerning the intervals between these apparent risings and settings, taking account of the star's position with respect to the ecliptic and equator. It was impossible, without trigonometry, to determine beforehand the absolute time at which any one of them would happen; but one having been observed, the rest might be roughly predicted, for the same star, by the help of these propositions. The demonstrations, and even the enunciations, are in some cases not easily understood without a globe; but the figures used by Autolycus are simple. There is nothing in either treatise to shew that he had the least conception of spherical trigonometry.

Christmas vacation is here! Costa Rica, here we come
Both of my elementary boys' teams won their tournaments at Monroe last week. I want to give a shout out to Monroe Coach Casey Hemphill. He did a great job running the tournament and coaching all those kids. Casey played basketball at Poteau back when Clint and Candeeda were in school, and he was one heck of a good player. Keep up the good work, Casey!— — —The deer hunting will have to wait a few days though because Paula and I will leaving for Costa Rica on Friday. Since it's right down there by the equator and South America, the weather should be a little better there than it is here — Ha! Ha! Ha! We will think about all of you LeFlore County folks while we are on the beach.Since I am going to be out of the country, I won't be writing a column next week, so I want to wish everyone a safe and Merry Christmas now!Have a great week!— — —E-mail questions or comments to email@example.com.

If you're in business, you have to get used to criticism.
If you're in the gadget business, however, you're nobody unless Microsoft criticizes you.
What other conclusion can one reach after Redmond's assault on its various rivals?
There's the constant poking at the iPad's foibles. Then there's the sublimely gauche Scroogled campaign, which accuses Google of being little more than a malevolent dictatorship.
Samsung, though, has been relatively free of Microsoft's barbed fire. Until now, that is.
For Microsoft has chosen the Thanksgiving weekend to give thanks that its own Surface RT is so much more intelligent and useful than the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
I'll admit I haven't seen an enormous proliferation of Tab 10.1s adorning coffee shops, holding cells, and public transport. So it makes for a slightly odd target for Microsoft.
However, Redmond wants you to be clear, should you be vacillating between a Tab and a Surface RT, that its machine is superior.
It has a full-size USB port, which allows you to do, well, full-size USB porting. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 has one micro USB port, which means you can't power and connect to an external device at the same time.
And then there's the need for connectors that you have to buy as extras.
Microsoft is looking to find any and every possible rational reason to persuade you that the Surface is all things to all people with computing needs.
Indeed, more ads targeting the Galaxy Tab appeared last week -- including a family sharing comparison similar to one of the most recent anti-iPad ads.
Sadly, the initial launch of Surface, with its embarrassing dancing teens and business people, continues to hamper progress.
When people don't have their emotions positively disposed to your brand, it's so much harder to persuade them that you're as great as you think you are.

American Airlines may be bankrupt, but CEO Tom Horton talks as if he's in the catbird seat.
He says he's not going to be pressured by US Airways CEO Doug Parker into a merger. If anything, Horton says, American will be doing the acquiring — not the other way around. There are other airlines out there for American to buy if it makes sense, he says.
And if not, Horton maintains, American will emerge from federal bankruptcy protection strong enough to compete against United and Delta .
"This company is going to be very successful," Horton, 51, told USA Today's editorial board Thursday. "I think that we have a very powerful company coming out of restructuring. And I want to be sure that anything that we do only makes it better and stronger — not weaker — and more valuable, of course."
Although he had breakfast with his old friend Parker in Washington on Thursday, he was dismissive of Parker's pressure and steps to force a merger.
He said that US Airways has half the value of American and does little more than run connecting flights out of its major East Coast hub in Charlotte.
"I can clearly see the urgency to make a deal on their side," he said.
But some industry analysts see a union with US Airways as the best alternative because of their complementary routes and corporate cultures.
Other potential partners — JetBlue , Alaska , Virgin America and Frontier — don't offer American much value, says Daniel Friedenzohn, associate professor of aeronautical science at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
"They're not going to be very meaningful in terms of affecting the landscape," he says.
Horton insists other airlines could make better partners, though he wouldn't name them.
He plans to be picky. In reviewing potential acquisitions, Horton said, American would consider the partner's network, its debt, and how the companies would integrate their planes and workers.
If he doesn't get everything on his wish list, he said, he can go it alone. He pointed to the progress American has made in its reorganization, as reflected in its second-quarter earnings that he said showed the best financial improvement in the industry.
American's parent company, AMR, said Wednesday that it had record quarterly revenue of $6.46 billion from April through June, with a record portion of seats filled. It lost $241 million in the quarter, but said if bankruptcy costs such as legal fees were excluded, it would have earned $95 million.
An Aggressive Campaign
American, which in November became the last major legacy airline to file for bankruptcy protection, has also agreed to buy hundreds of new planes and has strong international partners such as British Airways, Horton said.
"Our company is only going to get more valuable," he said.
US Airways' Parker, 50, has waged an aggressive and very public campaign for American.
He went so far as to pay $600,000 for American bonds so he could become an American creditor — a move American calls a "publicity stunt." He's also managed to get support from American's labor unions by promising better pay and job security.
Parker has highlighted American's lack of routes for business travel along the East Coast, a gap he said US Airways could fill. But Horton said American does well with its hubs in New York and Miami.
"Those are the most important population centers, and we are very strong in them," Horton said. "What that airline (US Airways) does is carry a lot of connecting traffic over Charlotte and does so in a way that I would suggest is somewhat unrewarding."
Horton also said that he didn't think US Airways' route map would give American a strategic advantage. "There might be others where integration might be easier and smoother," he said.
In a separate interview on Thursday, US Airways President Scott Kirby said that with hubs in Charlotte, Philadelphia and Washington, his airline could give American better links between 60 cities on the East Coast. Charlotte is the fourth-most-lucrative hub in the country, he said.
"We absolutely complement American and the holes they have," Kirby said. "American has become largely irrelevant on the East Coast outside of New York and Miami. The reality is that a large percentage of the traveling public doesn't live in New York or Miami."
He dismissed Horton's suggestion that US Airways is not as valuable as American.
"We have a business model that works, that is profitable, and generates margins that are far superior to American's," he said. "Our results prove that."
'No Substantial Progress'
Over breakfast Thursday, the day after Parker once again pressed his case for American at a speech at the National Press Club, he and Horton began discussions about a possible combination.
But "no substantial progress was made," said US Airways spokesman Todd Lehmacher.
In a statement Thursday afternoon, American said Horton described to Parker the process of reviewing potential partners, what the criteria will be and the next steps.
Horton said that process will be fair and transparent. Parker has said more than once that he is skeptical of that.
The two CEOs have a history, having both worked at American years ago. Each has called the other a close friend and insists there is nothing personal at stake in the corporate fight.
But they have very different opinions about whether — and how — the airlines should join forces to rival the larger United/Continental and Delta, which are the nation's biggest network airlines, respectively.
Parker said at the National Press Club that he wanted a merger to happen before American emerges from bankruptcy. American has until the end of the year to come up with a restructuring plan as a stand-alone company. The company already has ended leases on some aircraft and reached tentative contract resolutions with workers.
Horton said he's going to dictate the timing of American's next move.
"I don't think our company should be driven to an outcome because another company has an urgent need to do something," he said.
Some analysts agree that Parker should be more patient.
"American should be allowed to get through its restructuring, understand what it might be as a stand-alone company and examine multiple strategic alternatives," said William Swelbar, a research engineer at MIT's International Center for Air Transportation who has worked as a consultant with American in the past but is not advising on the bankruptcy.
Labor Gets Involved
American's executives stress that their company is the larger, better-situated airline.
Parker doesn't buy that. But he says that if the two were to combine, the airline would be called American and would keep its headquarters in Fort Worth.
Parker, who was the head of America West when it merged with US Airways in 2005, has been trying to merge with another airline for years. He's failed to court partners such as Delta.
"It has been firmly established that US Airways is for sale," Horton said.
But he pointed out that Parker's last merger didn't go very smoothly. US Airways has had a difficult time merging the seniority lists of its two pilot unions.
Friedenzohn, of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, said any American-US Airways union wouldn't be easy.
"US Airways is in some ways still operating as two separate carriers," he says. "Adding a third pilots unions to the mix would add some complications."
But somehow Parker has managed to score with American's unions. The labor leaders joined him at the head table at his National Press Club appearance.
Horton acknowledged "it's a difficult process" and that American's unions for pilots, flight attendants and mechanics support a merger with US Airways. But he said American's tentative contracts are firmer for workers than the promise of a merger.
"He made a deal to make a deal," Horton said. "What we made are actual tentative agreements, with all the language written down."
Horton also dismissed suggestions that it's in his financial interest to drag his feet on a merger with US Airways because he could receive as much as $60 million if American emerges from bankruptcy independently.
"My focus is 100 percent on what creates the most value for our owners. That's my job," Horton said. "It's not about me … I don't think for a minute about such things."
Although he complains that American is foot-dragging on his merger bid, Parker doesn't accuse Horton of doing it out of personal financial motives.
However, Parker said at the press club, "I find it noteworthy that the only opposition that seems to exist to this merger is the senior management at American."
"I don't want to guess as to why it is that they don't support it," Parker said. "But we are hopeful that we will find that we can get their support at some point in the future."

text: Wont work because there would be a 1000 ops calling 1 station,and field day is about contacting many stations but on staellites only 1 contact is needed for 300 points. Make the 1 contact and shut down your satellite station and let the rest of us have our 1 contact and shut down also. I hope the BIG GUN Satellite Stations will not use there amps to cut through the pile ups. I thing the satellite stations should not use any thing over 50 watts max on FM or better yet only use 5 watts and a hand held. After all Field Day is about emergency comm. and not blasting everyone out Thats my thoughts .

I would like to propose the following: Contacts on the FM satellites can only be made with W1AW and K6KPH. Those stations could get on with solid signals and pass out contacts. No other contacts would count. I believe more contacts would be made, and it would be better to listen to as well. We would have to get the word out early and often.

Making sense of it all, however, can be difficult with policy changes, planning permissions and the question of profitability. Alistair Fell, Renewables Specialist from H&H Land and Property highlights two renewable energy opportunities that are becoming increasingly popular: Anaerobic Digestion and Biomass. Anaerobic digestion and Biomass are now leading contenders in the bid to reduce on farm costs and make the most of the resources we have at hand to produce energy or heat. "We are currently involved in several large scale Anaerobic Digestion (AD) projects and the installation of plants, from 500kW up to 2MW using both maize silage and commercial waste. However the area where we have seen the most growth is in small scale AD, generally looking at between 50kW and 250kW plants. As an example, one of our clients is investing in an 80kW AD plant. This will be fed with the slurry from his 300 dairy herd and 30 hectares of grass silage."
The plant will cost in the region of £600,000 and should see a simple payback from FIT income alone of approximately 6.5 years. Excess heat produced by the plant will be utilised which earns RHI payments and will reduce the payback period further. One possibility is to dry the solid digestate by-product that is produced and use this as bedding for cattle which will further reduce costs. The liquid part of the digestate byproduct can alternatively be used as a fertiliser. "We are seeing a surge of dairy farmers coming to us for advice on small scale AD plants, the return on investment is very attractive and our approach is to scale the plant so that it utilises the feedstocks you have on farm without having to find massive amounts of silage from the farm. The aim is to improve your farming operation not change it completely". Alistair is also finding a large amount of people are seeking advice on Biomass heating as an alternative to oil; "We are installing a number of district heating schemes on the estates we manage, typically heating 5 to 10 properties on the estate from a central boiler, fuelled by the woodland on the estate. These installations cost from between £100,000 and £200,000 and through the RHI scheme stand to pay for themselves within 6 years."
There can be a number of issues when considering biomass including storage of chip, sizing the boiler to adequately cope with the heat demand of the buildings, complying with building regulations and in the case of lots of estate buildings Listed Building consents. "Biomass boilers are a fantastic solution to heat the farm house and outbuildings, dairyman's houses, holiday cottages etc and the same good returns on investment are achievable at lower capital cost: between £6,000 and £30,000. There are a lot of things to consider which aren't immediately obvious so we recommend getting professional advice at an early stage". H&H Land and Property advise on all aspects of Anaerobic Digestion from assessment of feedstocks, plant design, grid connection, Environment Agency application and gaining planning permission. Their work with Biomass boilers extends from the very first enquiries through to overseeing the installation and Renewable Heating Incentive registration.

I think people are upset they never received push notifications in the iOS version which most people probably purchased in support and anticipation of that feature. In addition, who wants to use a piece of software for your day to day business that you know has no future? Email clients aren't a hobby OS or something you really play with for nostalgic reasons. In addition they say there will be bug fixes and what not, but hey, they said they were working hard on getting push notifications numerous times and look at how that has turned out. Personally, I think the developers saw a big pay day and new offices on the horizon and packed up shop and that is OK. It's their right, but that doesn't mean doing so didn't piss a few folks off.

I am not particularly in favor of LISP
My theory is that a natural language interface would be feasible, not in the vast computer domain, but in the narrow field of the AutoCAD object model.
Lisp is where the novice programmer/customiser can make great gains. To disregard Lisp (as an AutoCAD user) is questionable in my opinion.
What do you mean by " a natural language interface" ?? And are you proposing "another" specialised limited usage language for us to learn ?
The LISP language is certainly the best known. He had been chosen by Autodesk long ago because it was a very high level language suited to the unstructured aspect of an AutoCAD drawing.

Instructions for new developers
Developers can get write access to the CVS repository after having contributed patches to the DRI and being proposed by another committer. Write access to the CVS repository is provided by having an account at freedesktop.org. This is managed by the fd.o 'sitewranglers'.
To get a new account, follow the procedure at AccountRequests @ fd.o.
Your ssh public key should be dsa if possible, though people with existing rsa keys have been allowed to use them. If you don't have an ssh key yet, use "ssh-keygen -t dsa". You should use a passphrase to keep your key safe. If you don't like typing in your passphrase every time you access freedesktop.org, check out ssh-agent and ssh-add.
Access to the repository is explained on the CVS wiki page. If you use cvsup to maintain a local mirror, you can commit from a local checkout by explicitly specifying the freedesktop.org cvs root in your "cvs commit" command (i.e. env CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -d:ext:firstname.lastname@example.com:/cvs/dri commit).
Should you experience troubles committing and feel things should be fixed in the repository, send an email to email@example.com to get it resolved, rather than jumping in to fix it on freedesktop.org yourself.
