Posted on January 31, 2014
I lost count, personally. But I am told, now that we've finished absorbing it, that the donation of Asian material came to 306 boxes. It's a diverse collection, with a heavy focus on China, with Japan, India, and Korea following in that order of popularity. (Everybody else comes in a distant fifth.) These are primarily 20th century titles, all but a very few in English, and covering a vast empire of subject matter: Sports, Show Biz, Health, History, Literature, Music, Art, Antiques…even Chicago and Judaica picked up a few Asian titles.
There will be a tinge, then, of Asian studies to this Book Fair, though, to be sure, 306 boxes ought to work out to only ten percent of the total offering. (Of course, other people can donate things Asian as well. I just had half a dozen boxes from one of our volunteers, who was a great student of Lao Tzu and Confucius, though he tended to read them in German.) The Literature ought to sell to out, whether customers are hunting for the great Chinese short story artist as Lu Hsun, Lu Xun, Lu Sun, or even, in the early days, Lusin. The martial arts stuff ought to sell right away, and Asian art is certain to be popular. One box so far was nothing but forty years' worth of books about Feng Shui; I know people will pick that up. Had a struggle to decide where to put the book on Feng Shui for sexual satisfaction, but as it did deal with interior design—proper decoration will insure the right partner will find you–it went into How To (Hands). (All right: stop giggling in the back of the room.) There's even a book on Himalayan Cats: when you've covered the cute kitty book market, you've hit just about everything.
As usual, you will have to hunt for the Asian Erotica: we still don't have a sign for it. There won't be a problem finding religious books, though: we are preparing for a massive section dealing with many, many varieties of Buddhism. They'll sell, along with the Hinduism, Shintoism, and Confucianism. (I have been scolded far putting Confucius in Philosophy AND for putting him in Religion, so check both.) Our customers are all seekers of wisdom, one way or another. Some seek wisdom in the Cooking section, or in How To, and who am I to criticize? I once tried to go north on Chicago Avenue to find Ontario (both Chicago and Ontario run east-west.).
One mild worry remains to trouble my nights. How many books of poetry can we sell over four and a half days? We have lots—I mean to say LOTS—of poetry. Hindu mytho-historical epics, Confucian and Zen poetry from China (Confucians did not feel fiction or drama was proper for a gentleman, but poetry was okay, if it followed the rules), and oh, oh, oh those Japanese! These anthologies of waka, of kanshi, of renga, of senryu…yes, I KNOW we have just as many words for different types of poem as they have, but nobody on this side of the ocean publishes collections of triolets. Or if they do, they have the sense to call it something else and hope nobody notices it's all triolets.
I'm not taking this lying down. I'm going to my friends at Hallmark (they've loved me ever since I stopped trying to sell them verses for Belated Get Well cards) and see if we can't get an Asian Poetry Book Day declared for, say, August 1. We don't have much in the way of holidays in August, so if we can start getting people feeling guilty NOW (okay, when was the last time you sent YOUR loved ones any haiku?) we may sell out completely at the end of July.

Pharez Whitted '82 a "Powerful Soloist with Decibels to Burn": Chicago Tribune
January 19, 2013
"Chicago trumpeter Pharez Whitted owns a richly deserved reputation as a powerhouse soloist with decibels to burn," opines the Chicago Tribune's Howard Reich. "But for his late set Thursday night at the Jazz Showcase, where he's leading his sextet through Sunday, Whitted turned down the dial, producing some of the most elegant, understated playing many listeners have heard from him."
The newspaper notes, "Some of the evening's music derived from Whitted's finely honed new album, For the People (Origin Records), an all-star affair featuring musicians who have become integral to the trumpeter's work. Most were on stage at the Showcase, making a compelling case for Whitted's original compositions ... The strength of this band rests in its ability to reflect Whitted's aesthetic and build upon it. So though most of these players can unleash considerable energy, power and virtuosity, they instead subtly underscored Whitted's extraordinarily delicate work in For the People (and elsewhere in the set)."
Access the complete review at the Tribune's website.
At DePauw, Pharez Whitted was a music major and played football. He has performed with such notables as Nancy Wilson, Freddie Hubbard, Slide Hampton, Clark Terry, Branford Marsalis, Johnny Griffin, David "Fathead" Newman, George Duke, John Mellencamp, Patti Austin, Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Ari Brown and Ramsey Lewis.

Abstract Faceted Stone Statement Necklace is rated out of 5 by 1.
Rated 2 out of 5 by FlawlessJEC from Pretty but cheap looking It's a gorgeus necklace, but the quality is very cheap. I love the look of it, but i can see fingerprints on the stones. If you can call them that. They are more like pieces of plastic with mirrored foil behind them. Disappointing. Sad it has to be returned.

Welcome, Shawn. There are so many ex-ministers on A/N which is a validation for me. Whenever, I feel like an outsider here in the bible belt, I know I am in good company.
Hello Shawn

This will be a short post, but it is a truism.
It is much easier to stay in shape than it is to get in shape. I mean much easier.
That is why it is important not to allow yourself to get out of shape once you are in shape. Even though it take effort to continue your training, this effort is small when compared to the time and effort of getting back into shape, especially if you let yourself go badly.
There are many reasons not to train or to put it off. We all are too busy. But it is in your best interest to keep in shape. The time you save by laying off training will seem small compared to the time it will take to get back into shape.
I should add that the older you get (especially past 40 or 50), the harder it becomes to get back into shape.
Once you get in shape, keep in shape.

FRAMINGHAM, Mass., TORRANCE, Calif. and BILLERICA, Mass -- AB SCIEX, Phenomenex and Peak Scientific today announced the start of the 2013 tour of the European MASStastic Voyage, featuring a state-of-the-art mobile laboratory traveling across Europe. This lab-on-wheels will provide "open house" opportunities for anyone interested in using mass spectrometry and separation science to solve analytical challenges. Kicking off next week in Holland, the tour will now include a free breakfast seminar on board the mobile lab at each stop in over 20 European cities. Follow the entire tour at tour web page.
The 2013 European MASStastic Voyage is relevant for anyone involved in food safety testing, drug discovery & development, clinical research, environmental analysis and biomedical research. On board the MASStastic Voyage mobile lab are the latest innovations in analytical instrumentation, including the AB SCIEX QTRAP 4500 System, QTRAP 6500 System, TripleTOF 5600+ System and an Eksigent micro LC system. Samples will be run aboard the mobile lab. Phenomenex will present the newest developments of the Kinetex Core-Shell HPLC/UHPLC-Technology, allowing customers to realize the maximum performance of their LC systems. Moreover, the free breakfast seminars will provide relevant information not only about these new technologies, but also about new techniques, useful tips and improved methodologies to enhance analytical workflows.
This MASStastic Voyage mobile lab is coming off a successful run at the end of 2012 in Spain and the UK, drawing more than 200 visitors within three weeks, including pharmaceutical scientists, academics, lab technicians and lab directors who attended the EBF Barcelona 2012 conference. Looking ahead, the mobile lab will make a special appearance in April at the Berliner Symposium of mass spectrometry users after its extensive trek across Europe. To register for the German symposium, go to Symposium page.
"The MASStastic Voyage is the most talked-about activity happening in the mass spectrometry industry in Europe in early 2013, and customer feedback about this tour has been extremely positive," said Steve Taylor, a manager in AB SCIEX's European Market Development team. "As we run real samples while traveling thousands upon thousands of kilometers across the continent, we fully expect our instrumentation to be as rugged and reliable at the end of the tour as at the start. We will power up and vent the instrument every day, pushing it well beyond its normal operating parameters."
Come see for yourself. And follow the European MASStastic Voyage Tour via social media. Click here.
Experts in LC/MS/MS solutions from AB SCIEX, Phenomenex and Peak Scientific will be on board the mobile laboratory, available to talk to scientists and lab technicians from industry and academia about a broad array of topics.
"The mass spectrometry expertise of AB SCIEX along with the separation science expertise of Phenomenex has proved to be a potent combination for solving the most urgent and challenging analytical needs of scientists everywhere," said Michael McGinley, Phenomenex HPLC Product Manager. "This mobile laboratory allows users to see the latest advances in technology and integrated solutions right at their doorstep."
"Our key to success is being able to reliably support AB SCIEX mass spectrometers, as Peak Scientific gas generators provide a continuous flow of nitrogen ensuring accurate results every time, " said Andy Reid, European Sales Manager at Peak Scientific. "We are excited to show our customers how robust our generators are within a working laboratory environment, and this mobile lab is a fantastic way to do just that!"
The MASStastic Voyage mobile lab had a successful tour in North America in early 2012. To watch the highlights video of this previous tour, click the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uR9Sls8oaNQ

I'm currently trying to isolate plasmid DNA from DH5-alpha cells using the QIAgen Quick-Lyse Kit, and I have been consistently getting low DNA concentrations (20ng/uL) while another member of our lab is using XL-10 cells and is having the same problem.
We've tried multiple variations to only get the same results, such as:
We thought it might be the kit, so we used another lab's kit (columns and reagents) to only get the same result.
We then tried trying Biorad's Quantum mini-prep kit to once again get the same problem.
Next we thought it might be our LB so we made new LB and even borrowed another lab's LB to once again get the same result.
We messed with the growing times. We tried 12 hours, 16 hours, and 18 hours and even measured the ODs but still the same problem.
We tried using different amounts of LB (3mL, 5mL, 10mLs.) and that didn't work.
I even increased the concentration of ampicillin, just in case the large amount of bacteria were leading to the degradation of ampicillin and we were growing bacteria that didn't have the plasmid.
Lastly, I did a fresh transformation in a desperate hope that it would fix the problem. But it didn't.
Does anyone have any idea on what might be going on?

What is your plasmid origin? Low or medium copy plasmid origins can yield small amounts of DNA.
Posted 08 November 2012 - 07:30 AM
My plasmid is a pHH2 vector, whose parental vector is pGEX-6. The ORI is pBR322
Posted 08 November 2012 - 06:42 PM
The pBR322 ori is relatively low copy, around 20, versus the 300-500 copy number for pUC19. This will result in lower plasmid DNA concentration.

Reloading Java Classes 101: Objects, Classes and ClassLoaders
Welcome to Turnaround article series from ZeroTurnaround.
In this article we will review how to reload a Java class using a dynamic classloader. To get there we'll see how objects, classes and classloaders are tied to each other and the process required to make changes. We begin with a bird's eye view of the problem, explains the reloading process, and then proceed to a specific example to illustrate typical problems and solutions. Other articles in the series include:
- RJC101: Objects, Classes and ClassLoaders
- RJC201: How do Classloader leaks happen?
- RJC301: Classloaders in Web Development — Tomcat, GlassFish, OSGi, Tapestry 5 and so on
- RJC401: HotSwap and JRebel — Behind the Scenes
- RJC501: How Much Does Turnaround Cost?
A video presentation "Do you really get class loaders" by Jevgeni Kabanov
A Bird's Eye View
The first thing to understand when talking about reloading Java code is the relation between classes and objects. All Java code is associated with methods contained in classes. Simplified, you can think of a class as a collection of methods, that receive "this" as the first argument. The class with all its methods is loaded into memory and receives a unique identity. In the Java API this identity is represented by an instance of
java.lang.Class that you can access using the
MyObject.class expression.
Every object created gets a reference to this identity accessible through the
Object.getClass() method. When a method is called on an object, the JVM consults the class reference and calls the method of that particular class. That is, when you call
mo.method() (where
mo is an instance of
MyObject), then the JVM will call
mo.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("method").invoke(mo) (this is not what the JVM actually does, but the result is the same).
Class object is in turn associated with its classloader (
MyObject.class.getClassLoader()). The main role of the class loader is to define a class scope — where the class is visible and where it isn't. This scoping allows for classes with the same name to exist as long as they are loaded in different classloaders. It also allows loading a newer version of the class in a different classloader.
The main problem with code reloading in Java is that although you can load a new version of a class, it will get a completely different identity and the existing objects will keep referring the previous version of the class. So when a method is called on those objects it will execute the old version of the method.
Let's assume that we load a new version of the
MyObject class. Let's refer to the old version as
MyObject_1 and to the new one as
MyObject_2. Let's also assume that
MyObject.method() returns "1" in
MyObject_1 and "2" in
MyObject_2. Now if
mo2 is an instance of
mo.getClass() != mo2.getClass()
!= mo2.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("method").invoke(mo2)
mo.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("method").invoke(mo2)throws a
ClassCastException, because the
Classidentities of
mo2do no match.
This means that any useful solution must create a new instance of
mo2 that is an exact copy of
mo and replace all references to
mo with it. To understand how hard it is, remember the last time you had to change your phone number. It's easy enough to change the number itself, but then you have to make sure that everyone you know will use the new number, which is quite a hassle. It's just as difficult with objects (in fact, it's actually impossible, unless you control the object creation yourself), and we're talking about many objects that you must update at the same time.
Down and Dirty
Let's see how this would look in code. Remember, what we're trying to do here is load a newer version of a class, in a different classloader. We'll use an
Example class that looks like this:
public class Example implements IExample {
private int counter;
public String message() {
return "Version 1";
public int plusPlus() {
return counter++;
public int counter() {
return counter;
We'll use a
main() method that will loop infinitely and print out the information from the
Example class. We'll also need two instances of the
Example class: example1 that is created once in the beginning and example2 that is recreated on every roll of the loop:
public class Main {
private static IExample example1;
private static IExample example2;
public static void main(String[] args) {
example1 = ExampleFactory.newInstance();
while (true) {
example2 = ExampleFactory.newInstance();
System.out.println("1) " +
example1.message() + " = " + example1.plusPlus());
System.out.println("2) " +
example2.message() + " = " + example2.plusPlus());
IExample is an interface with all the methods from
Example. This is necessary because we'll be loading
Example in an isolated classloader, so
Main cannot use it directly (otherwise we'd get a
public interface IExample {
String message();
int plusPlus();
From this example, you might be surprised to see how easy it is to create a dynamic class loader. If we remove the exception handling it boils down to this:
public class ExampleFactory {
public static IExample newInstance() {
URLClassLoader tmp =
new URLClassLoader(new URL[] {getClassPath()}) {
public Class loadClass(String name) {
if ("example.Example".equals(name))
return findClass(name);
return super.loadClass(name);
return (IExample)
The method
getClassPath() for the purposes of this example could return the hardcoded classpath. However, in the full source code (available in the Resources section below) you can see how we can use the
ClassLoader.getResource() API to automate that.
Now let's run
Main.main and see the output after waiting for a few loop rolls:
1) Version 1 = 3
2) Version 1 = 0
As expected, while the counter in the first instance is updated, the second stays at "0". If we change the
Example.message() method to return "Version 2". The output will change as follows:
1) Version 1 = 4
2) Version 2 = 0
As we can see, the first instance continues incrementing the counter, but uses the old version of the class to print out the version. The second instance class was updated, however all of the state is lost.
To remedy this, let's try to reconstruct the state for the second instance. To do that we can just copy it from the previous iteration.
First we add a new
copy() method to
Example class (and corresponding interface method):
public IExample copy(IExample example) {
if (example != null)
counter = example.counter();
return this;
Next we update the line in the
Main.main() method that creates the second instance:
example2 = ExampleFactory.newInstance().copy(example2);
Now waiting for a few iterations yields:
1) Version 1 = 3
2) Version 1 = 3
And changing
Example.message() method to return "Version 2" yields:
1) Version 1 = 4
2) Version 2 = 4
As you can see even though it's possible for the end user to see that the second instance is updated and all its state is preserved, it involves managing that state by hand. Unfortunately, there is no way in the Java API to just update the class of an existing object or even reliably copy its state, so we will always have to resort to complicated workarounds.
In subsequent articles we'll review how web containers, OSGi, Tapestry 5, Grails and others confront the problem of managing state when reloading classes, then we'll dig into how HotSwap, Dynamic Languages, and the Instrumentation API work, and go behind the scenes with JRebel as well.

Data Scientists are Will-Doers
Not Can-Doers
My presentation at PyCon on "The Linguistics of Twitter" produced exactly the response I was looking for, smart motivated people made contact with me and asked how they could help.
Quick Recap
The slides from the presentation are available on Slideshare and the video will be available shortly.
In a nutshell, processing data from Twitter presents unique challenges due to:
- 140 Character limit
- API lookup range limiting
- Dialectical English usage
Linguistic Challenges
Twitter users shorten words to fit into the character limit, and word selection has been proven to be regionally influenced.
This presents an opportunity to explore the use of regional American English dialects on Twitter in an effort to build out systems which could facilitate communication.
TwitterLinguistics Project
An oversimplified outline of the project is:
- Collect geo-tagged tweets from Twitter
- For the different dialectical regions in America
- Lots of tweets, think in the millions at least for each region
- Post the data in a publicly accessible location
- Process the regions with the Natural Language Toolkit
- While this is starting out as a Python project, other programming languages are welcome to help
- Build out regional corpora
- English only for now
- Including other languages would comlplicate an already very complicated challenge
- Sit back and admire all the hard work we did
More Information
We definitely need help, and lots of it.
Casual programmers, people who have an interest in exploring Natural Language Processing or are just an awesome individual there is probably a way to contribute.
If you are just learning NLP in Python I strongly reccommend bot the NLTK book from O'Reilly and 'Python Text Processing with NLTK 2.0 Cookbook.'
Without programming knowledge, a good place to start would be both of those books listed above if you want to be actively involved in the project.
There are also opportunities for publicity, data sharing and data validation which require less time on your end.
Email me at email@example.com to get on the mailing list while its hot.

Question: While bow hunting for turkeys last week, I saw a flock of hens and jakes on the side of a highway and I got to wondering if it's legal to hunt off the side of a highway. I know we can't shoot across a highway, but exactly how many yards or feet away does a bow hunter have to be? (Rafael O.)
Answer: It is unlawful to discharge a firearm or release an arrow or crossbow bolt over or across any public road or other established way open to the public in an unsafe and reckless manner (Fish and Game Code, section 3004(b)). Definitions for road and roadway can be found in the California Vehicle Code, sections 527 and 530. In addition, most counties have ordinances setting the distance from a public roadway that one must be to lawfully discharge a firearm. Many counties require 150 feet, but this distance varies and you will have to check with the appropriate county's sheriff's department to determine the legal distance. It is always unlawful to negligently discharge a firearm, and the discharge of a firearm from or upon a public road or highway is prohibited (California Penal Code, section 374c).
Hand reels
Question: I recently acquired a hand reel (Cuban yoyo.) Are there any restrictions on using one? What part of the Fish and Game Code applies to their usage? (Will E.)
Answer: Yes, these basic hand-held reels are legal to use. Just add some line, tie on your hook, add bait, drop in your line and you're fishing. It doesn't get much easier or less expensive than this method. Standard methods apply, so if you are fishing in inland waters (three hooks with bait or three lures with three hooks each) or fishing in the ocean for rockfish (two hooks), you need to follow the hook restrictions as if you had a rod attached. If you do happen to hook a big fish, just be sure you'll be able to land it!
Starry Flounder east of the Carquinez Bridge
Question: Can you please clarify the starry flounder regulations in saltwater vs. freshwater? I know that flounder are included in the rockfish-cabezon-greenling (RCG) regulations in saltwater, with limits and a definite season. However, when they move upstream (east) of the Carquinez Bridge into inland waters, do the same regulations still apply? Or, may they be taken year-round with no limit as they are not mentioned in the freshwater regulations? (Barbara U.)
Answer: According to California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Capt. Bob Puccinelli, because the fresh water limits for starry flounder are the same as the ocean limits, the limits would adhere to any closures in ocean waters as well. In other words, when there is an ocean closure (zero limit), there would be a corresponding zero limit in freshwater as well.
Non-lead pellets for squirrels in condor country?
Question: I hunt ground squirrels with pellet guns as I understand they don't fall into the category of firearms. My question is, do I have to use non-lead pellets? (James T.)
Answer: While not specifically prohibited for pellet guns, the intent of the non-lead ammunition requirement laws is to prevent lead from being introduced into animals that California condors may eat. Ground squirrels could fall into this category but the law does not expressly prohibit lead pellets. Non-lead pellets are available.
Glasses when abalone diving
Question: I wear reading glasses. I don't like to take my glasses on the beach or in the water with me because I don't want them to get scratched. However, without my glasses, I cannot clearly read the new abalone cards. Last season I accidentally used the wrong tag (one that was not in sequential order) because I could not read the numbers. What can I do to make this easier? (Zoe D., Trinidad)
Answer: I can empathize with your frustrations. You may want to consider including non-prescription reading glasses and/or a small magnifying glass in your dive bag. Either can be purchased at many convenience stores for under $15. At least with these you would not have to risk losing or breaking your prescription glasses and you will be able to comply with the regulations.

After Steve's refinishing in Washington, the coats of paint came off and this beautiful wood was revealed. I'm missing things like the Jergens' Lotion, and Mother's comb, and the chip-carbed box that held treasures. So glad it is in good hands! Memories!

Look at that! And don't forget the wind-up tick tock clock that sat on the edge next to the bed. Let's see, Dad had the top drawer, Mom the middle, but was the third drawer the over flow? This was every bit worth your effort, Ann.

What is the story of the dresser, where it came from? I don't remember where it was in the little house, the first I remember it was in Ralston. It was between the double bed that Elizabeth and I slept in. I can remember spending time looking in the mirror and inspecting my features, wishing I was pretty, and making faces. I was fascinated with being able to move the mirror to a different slant. Back in Penrose, it was a fun job for me to dust it and handle the things on top. Good memmory, Judy, for who had which drawers.

On the downside, the fight scenes are on the mediocre side and I'd like to see more plot between battles. That, or more Medaka fanservice which doesn't involve her getting her ribs stove in.

I recall complaints about this series even back when it was lacked a plot and did not focus so heavily on battles. Actually, people have complained ever since Akune was introduced back in the end of chapter 4. Clearly everyone can't be pleased in the situation we have here. All things considered, I'm fine with how things have been developing and the story as a whole has only gotten better since Unzen first arrived imo.
The strong point to me has always been the over the top characters followed by the art. Now currently the plot joins the former two because I like what Nishio is exploring with abnormals/geniuses and the idea of making every person into one.
The bold is what I believe would make the most sense if it turns out she doesn't mean this in a romantic way.
I wouldn't count on a mercy killing since it just got a color page, is approaching a year anniversary, and is apparently getting a vomic as well. It seems to me that this series is going to be staying a while.
Also vol.3 is the best volume cover yet. I'll be placing my order the 1st week it comes out. ^___^

Actually, I prefer it the way it's going now than how it was before. It was really plotless, random and shallow when it was just a school comedy. Medaka was overportrayed, taking up way too much of the manga, and you just can't relate to her. Zenkichi was supposed to be our connection to the world, but his role was minimized for quite a long time until the fighting actually started. He felt more like a side character instead of a main character because there was so much focus on Medaka.
I also didn't find her over-the-top abilities that amusing. Why? Because they weren't used properly, in my opinion. They were supposed to be funny, and the only time it actually made me laugh was when she was in the dog suit. Her powers were instead used to solve all the problems and it made things boring.
Due to this focus on Medaka and her abilities to the exclusion of all else, there was also no real relationships between the characters. No one cared about Akune or Kikaijima at first because they got one intro chapter after joining the council and then vanished for a while. Zen became less and less of a character and more like Medaka's lackey than a friend.
Say what you will about the fighting, at least it's brought a somewhat interesting story to the mix and the character interactions are getting much better because the focus isn't solely on Medaka anymore.

The swim meet arc is where things started changing, if only to show she wasn't the absolute best at everything; especially given how the judo team won by not forgetting the goal, which is what sunk both the student council and the swim team's chances.
Now we've moved a lot in the other direction, where plot's been somewhat scarce and we've gotten two or three chapters per battle... and while it may have boosted WSJ survivability, is steering back into the 'tiresome' area again.
Beyond that, Zenkichi may have been 'normal' and semi-relatable... except for the fact he was around Medaka, had been around her since childhood, that she had a serious crush on him for the whole time, managed to excel with any club he joined before leaving them, and he managed to win the judo match with a 'Special' all because SHE ASKED HIM TO. Yes, that's perfectly normal.

Probably not enough fanservice, has better action than Medaka tbh. Though most might consider the art pretty bland, but oh well. I can probably find a replacement like I did with Musunde Hiraite (MINASE Mayu) for Anedoki. One more to add to my completed list then.

Finally. D= That was fun. So, Medaka likes Zen, and poor Zen probably won't find out for a long time. xD Akune seemed thoroughly defeated in that small panel though. xD
The chapter is definitely different once you actually know what's going on.

Knowing someone likes you, and really KNOWING they like you deep down in your heart, are two different matters. One he can acknowledge intellectually, but the other has to be acknowledged deep inside himself.. and I don't think he really believes she finds him that special. Not compared to anyone else, anyways.

I also believe the characters interacted with each other better when this was a comedy.
Zen worked as a character because he was self-aware, and know how ridiculous everything was. That's how the character related to him. He was like a more proactive Kyon.
As for Medaka liking Zen, I still think the only reason she said that is because she had just finished reflecting on what a good friend Zen had been to her. She relied on him to keep her grounded. She may not be able to fall in love doesn't mean she can't appreciate people. Akune and Kikaijima's reactions probably have to do with how passionate Medaka is about such things. Remember, she kissed Kikaijima before.
I think the shipper mentality makes people see things that aren't there.

#1 Liberal media explains stock market fluctuations01-04-2009, 08:52 PM
It started right after the election. The stock market took an historical 2-day plunge.
The liberal media couldn't bring itself to state the obvious, so they just looked like deer-in-the-headlights and pretended it was just a fluke.
As expected, the Dow has gone through normal fluctuations through November and December. When it plunges, they scramble to blame some factor, perhaps the Detroit bailout struggles. When the market takes a jump, the reason is "obvious": Obama did something that caused the improvement, such as selecting his economic team. All other factors don't really matter, do they?
So, the first 2 days of 2009 has seen a rally. All you hear from the liberal media is that "it's a new year and people are getting excited about the new President". There's that "hope" thing again.
Now I hear them talking about a rally when Obama takes office. Is this wishful thinking or WHAT??? I see no reason for the market to go up, but tons of reason to say it'll take another plunge. Higher taxes, costlier energy and a resurrected Jimmy Carter will not do our economy a favor. It'll be curious to see what happens in another 16 days, and somewhat funny to watch the looks on their faces as they scramble to explain away the obvious again.Nothing says "idiot inside" better than an Obama/Biden bumper sticker.

Early plans to redevelop the former gas holders site in Kingston into 315 sustainable homes have gone on public display.
Residents got a look at Berkeley First's initial ideas for the land at a public exhibition on Wednesday, held at Tiffin School in Queen Elizabeth Road.
The site is the key location in Kingston Council's North Kingston Development Brief, which also includes the adjacent Canbury Place car park.
The council wants to regenerate the area into a mixed use residential and learning quarter with a new primary school.
But there was no room for a school in Berkeley's plans for the gas holders, which showed a multi-storey residential development based around a private, central square.
A drawing of the square in the middle of the development
Two tower blocks – one 11-storey and one eight-storey – would be built on the corners of the development facing Sury Basin, with commercial space on the groundfloor.
One key feature is the inclusion of a linear park public green space connecting Sury Basin with Kingsgate Road – one of the plans outlined in the development brief.
Ciaran Little, investment manager at Berkeley First, said: "We're trying to create a green neighbourhood for north Kingston.
"We really want to regenerate this important industrial site and deliver some homes and good quality public realm and open space.
"We want to really connect the town centre with this area of north Kingston, and Berkley have a history of doing this sort of thing really well."
Feedback on the exhibition was mixed, with several people saying the two corner buildings were too tall given the recent Kingston Riverside development in Canbury Gardens towering overhead.
Carrie Segrave, who lives close to the site, said: "I think development is a good idea, but every scheme these days wants its statement building, which I feel will be overbearing.
"We've had quite enough statement buildings with Kingston Riverside.
"I like the Berkeley Group, I think they are good people with a good reputation, but I don't like their tall buildings."
Councillor Frank Thompson at the exhibition with his wife Dorothy
Tudor ward Councillor Frank Thompson said: "As a block of flats it's just as nice looking as any other I suppose, but will any English families with moderate income be able to buy there?
"They have got to cram in as many as possible these days and I'm sure Berkeley will make the block look as attractive as feasible, but it doesn't leave a lot of scope for innovative design.
"What with the Royal Quarter, Kingston Riverside and plans to build two huge buildings behind John Lewis [the rejected Thames Side Wharf] if this gets done it will be the most densely populated area in Kingston."
The exhibition re-opens tomorrow, Saturday, January 11, in the Judge Lecture Theatre at Tiffin School from 10am to 2pm.

Toys for Tots gearing up for annual campaign, seeks applicants & donations
PUNXSUTAWNEY — In what has become an annual happening, the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Ebensburg Unit and Community Action, Inc. are once again teaming up to put together this year's Toys for Tots drive.
FEMCO Machine Company became a partner in the campaign last year, and this year will be no different with FEMCO and Chambers Replacement World also assisting with the drive.
Janeen Love, who works as a project director with Community Action, Inc., said that the organization's involvement with Toys for Tots is based on a need in the county to ensure that children feel loved at all times, but especially in this season with this project.
"Community Action tries to get involved in the community to help those in need," she said. "Helping the children is very important to all of those on staff here. We've been sponsoring it for the Marine Corps for a number of years — at least 12 now — and it's just something we think is very important."
Beginning Thursday, area families who are eligible can register their children, ages 12 and under at one of the four sign-up sessions.
The four sessions will take place:
• Thursday, Nov. 1 from 9 a.m. to noon at Community Action Inc., 105 Grace Way, Punxsutawney
• Monday, Nov. 5 from 9 a.m. to noon at The Foundry, Main Street, Reynoldsville
• Wednesday, Nov. 7 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Brockwayville Depot, 4th and Alexander streets in Brockway.
• Thursday, Nov. 8 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Heritage House, 4 Sylvania St. in Brookville.
FEMCO's marketing director Thom Pratt said that the company's interest in assisting with Toys for Tots started at the top with CEO Dan Rondeau, who has long been a passionate advocate of the program and its work in this area.
"Last year, our CEO got us involved," Pratt said. "He's a big supporter of Toys for Tots. We started our involvement last year; it was pretty successful, and we had our entire waiting room downstairs filled up with toys."
FEMCO became the official drop site for toys last year, and Pratt said the response was so overwhelming that the toys filled the front room at the office. Even with last year's success, though, he admitted they're hoping for even bigger things this year.
"We started a bit late, but we still had a great turnout," he said. "This year, we're hoping to kick it up a few notches."
While the sign-up sessions are beginning for eligible families, Pratt and Love also said that the time for donations is quickly coming as well, with FEMCO planning on unveiling the Gingerbread House, a building dedicated solely to dropping off toys throughout the duration of the campaign. Hours of operation for the Gingerbread House will be Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Toy dropoff is expected to begin in early November.
"Last year, we collected toys at the Home for the Holidays Parade, but this year we'll be doing things a bit differently," Pratt said. "We plan on using the Gingerbread House, which will be parked in the parking lot in front of the building here. That'll be the official drop-off location. It looks pretty good from what we've seen so far, and hopefully, we'll have a big kickoff event planned for it."
The reason for the new location formed out of the tight operating quarters last year, Pratt said.
"What happened last year is we had so many folks coming in that it was tough to keep it all organized," he said. "So, this year, we're providing a specific spot where we can make it most effective."
Pratt also said the Gingerbread House project had plenty of support from other local volunteers.
Becky Heitzenrater was designing the house, with Jerry McAdoo, Bill Clemento and Dan Tyger assisting by building the house. Chris Shuss planned the decorating, and Jeff Curtis worked on the electric. Tim Chambers, of Chambers Replacement World, was donating the lumber for the project.
FEMCO will be the main dropoff site this year, as it was last year, but Love said there will also be a number of other sites where county residents can make donations to the Toys for Tots campaign including:
• Punxsy: Jefferson County Housing Authority; Dollar General; Punxsy Senior Center; Play House Daycare; County Market; First Commonwealth Bank; Walmart; The Spirit; Pantall Hotel; Advance Auto Parts; Tractor Supply; and FEMCO.
• Reynoldsville: The Foundry; Dollar Store; American Legion; Ridgewood Green
• Brockway: The Brockwayville Depot
• Sykesville: Northwest Savings Bank and the Municipal Building
• Brookville: Aces Hardware; Bill's Bar; Brookville Chevrolet; Buff's Ice Cream; the Christian bookstore; Dollar General; Family Dollar; Fox's Pizza; Jefferson Manor; Kelly's Chrysler; the Eagles; Matson Insurance; McCabe's; Means & Lauf; Miller Welding; Plyler's; Mike's Comet; the Brookville YMCA; Rebecca M. Arthurs Library; CSA Toys; the Heritage House.
While the most common means of assisting with Toys for Tots is donating toys, Love said, for those who would prefer, cash donations are welcome as well.
Love said that those interested in helping out can also do so with cash donations, if that's something they'd prefer, at Toys for Tots Foundation, in care of Community Action, Inc., 105 Grace Way, Punxsutawney, PA 15767.
Cash donations will be used to help fill any gaps in gifts, where another gift in a certain category — boy or girl, or certain age group — is needed. Love said the Marines will pitch in to assist in other areas when the funding is needed.
Volunteers are also needed to assist with the distribution and set-up, and Love said if anyone is interested in assisting with that process, they can contact her office at 938-3302 ext. 236.
Jefferson County residents are invited to donate toys to provide a brighter Christmas to needy children across the county, saying a new toy sends "the message that someone cares and they have not been forgotten."
For more information on Toys for Tots or eligibility requirements, please contact Community Action Inc. by calling the number above, or toll free at 1-800-648-3302, or by emailing email@example.com.
After the volunteers put in the hard work of sorting the toys and getting them arranged for the eligible children, the toy distribution will be held Friday, Dec. 14 at Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
"This year, we're holding the event at Gobbler's Knob, and all the kids do have to be pre-registered," Love said. "If there's a need, we'd love to help. But the pre-registration is very important so we can make sure we cover the needs."

GROTON -- Selectmen are pledging to fight against Kinder Morgan's proposal to run a 129-mile natural-gas pipeline through the region, saying the town and surrounding communities must band together to force the company to look for alternative routes.
"This is the easiest decision I have ever had to make as a selectman," Selectman Stuart Schulman said Monday night, as he voted with the rest of his board to oppose the project.
Kinder Morgan and its subsidiary, Tennessee Gas Pipeline, are interested in bulldozing through the northern part of the state instead of along the highways or the existing pipelines because of the cost, Schulman speculated. "It's pathetically simple," Schulman said of the reason why he thinks the company chose the particular route. "We have to do everything we can to stop it."
"I see no benefit to the residents of Groton," Selectman Jack Petropoulos agreed. "So, I flatly oppose it."
The board's unanimous decision to fight Kinder Morgan's Northeast Direct Energy Project and to join the Middlesex County Coalition of Towns against the Proposed Pipeline followed Kinder Morgan's two-hour informational session on the proposal on Monday night at Lawrence Academy. This was the first meeting of the kind in Groton that involved representatives from the gas-transportation giant.
According to Allen Fore, director of public affairs for Kinder Morgan, the pipeline will be extended from New York to Dracut to bring shale gas developed in Pennsylvania and New York areas.
Kinder Morgan plans to submit a "pre-filing" document with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in October with the actual filing anticipated in September 2015. If everything goes smoothly for the company, the new gas pipeline would be in operation in November 2018.
Fore explained the existing pipelines in the southern parts of the state are at their capacity and that New England needs more natural gas.
Sun staff photos can be ordered by visiting our SmugMug site.
But "the last winter brought the attention (about the need for additional gas) to a much higher level," Fore said, adding that the company won't build the pipeline if it turns out it has no signed contracts before filing for the permit.
Resident Becky Pine asked why the company is most interested in the proposed route instead of running it along highways. Fore noted that such a proposal would require the state to provide easement.
Sun staff photos can be ordered by visiting our SmugMug site.
Fore and Mark Hamarich, project manager for Kinder Morgan, said that the company has considered other routes but the areas along the existing pipelines have been developed for housing since the pipeline was installed 50 years ago and it would be too difficult to run a new one. Hamarich also noted that the proposed route would be most "feasible," prompting some members of the audience to shout that the company perhaps sees it as the "cheap" route.
After the informational session, Selectman Peter Cunningham and Selectman Anna Eliot said that it was still not clear to them why Kinder Morgan is calling the local route their "preferred route.
Sun staff photos can be ordered by visiting our SmugMug site.
Before Kinder Morgan's meeting, selectmen met to discuss some other issues. The board voted to ratify the tentative contract with Steele McCurdy, officially making him Groton's fire chief. The vote was 4-0 with Eliot abstaining. Eliot did not explain the reason for abstaining, and refused to explain despite The Sun's repeated request to offer a reason both during and after the meeting.
McCurdy was initially the board's second choice for the job, but was offered it last week after its first choice, Robert Hart, deputy chief in Acton, declined for personal reasons.
McCurdy, presently deputy fire chief for Littleton, is expected to start his new job on Aug. 14, selectmen said. His first-year salary will be $98,880.
After Kinder Morgan's meeting, selectmen also selected Schulman and Dennis Eklof, a Groton resident and an energy-industry expert, as the board's representatives to the Middlesex County Coalition of Towns against the Proposed Pipeline. The town of Pepperell had asked if Groton wanted to join the coalition, selectmen said.

Audio Driver Aspire 1551Cari Driver Yang Lain Di Search Google Ini
Looking for a netbook with a little more oomph, or perhaps a thin-and-light laptop that doesn't break the bank? We're not quite sure which category the Acer Aspire 1551-5448 falls under, but we reckon it's liable to satisfy both camps with an 11.6-inch LED-backlit display and a 1.5GHz AMD Turion II Neo K625 CPU. Like the single-threaded Aspire 521 and 721 cousins we'll be reviewing later this week, this dual-core machine sports a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4225 GPU for stutter-free 1080p playback, and extra memory to boot. Here, Acer crammed 4GB of DDR3 RAM, a 320GB hard drive, 802.11n WiFi, HDMI-out and a six-cell, five-hour battery into a package weighing just over three pounds. If you've got $550 to drop, there's an Aspire 1551 with your name on it, available now practically wherever laptops are sold.

This is a mix of 70's vogue and 2015 scifi. That's right the detail on the straps takes this to an entire new dimension. Fits perfect and I am rather endowed! I did get a large for that fact. Very comfortable.

The cased glass has a graduation of colour, yes? I'm sure somebody on this board pointed out that this is a sign that it's Italian?

Good call Tiger - I don't think Scandinavian with it being not being cased and it's just too wacky - I think Blenko or another USA company - perhaps Italian
