Are there any musical genres that you genuinely can't stand?
I like stuff from most styles of music really, anything from hip-hop to bedwetter indie to house to classical to metal to whatever. However there are pretty much two things I cannot stand and haven't heard anything to change my mind.
Grime. Just eugh, no, does my head in.
Trap music. Fuck that shit, its soooo boring.
Anyone else got any styles of music they absolutely loathe?
all of them
genre classifications can fuck off
most can stay, they have their uses.theonlyindiegolfer, fuck_this_band, Lucien, JaguarPirate, and Comaboy this'd this
- Icarus-Smicarus this'd this
This has been done a number of times.
Everyone seems to hate reggae, but fuck them.wonton, -dan-, mug_mug_mug, theShipment, Icarus-Smicarus, urbanfox, oojimaflop, couldbebrianmay, joeymahone, and Gorkys_Forever this'd this
reggae is shit
Can't trust people who hate reggae
Its like people who don't like AC/DC, must be summat fundamentally wrong with em
- Loui_Tacceh, theShipment, and joeymahone this'd this
Dont stop posting.
Just do a good makeup thread and forget this ever existed imogeorgiabeth this'd this
not a huge fan of hardcore or stuff like los campesinos,johnny foreigner,not sure what you'd call it.twee shit that try's to rock.
dislike of *genre*; ignorance of diversity within loose stylistic classifications.
genre becoming less functional as bands/artists pick and choose omnivorously and create stylistically fluid music.Body_In_The_Thames this'd this
Ska, I just can't stand it in the slightest.kostenurky this'd this
you've never heard of grime?alcxxk, JaguarPirate, georgiabeth, and PinkyBrain this'd this
Dubstep is fucking horrible
And also I can't stand R&B with super-pitch-corrected vocals
Young solo acoustic singer-songwriters
Ed Sheeran, Jake Bugg & the like. Coupled with the assumption that someone playing solo with an acoustic is in some way more "real" than someone making music on a laptop. Fuck off.blisters, ambigyouus, robluvsnic, Olivarez, TheSoundofBastards, jontosh2001, JaguarPirate, PinkyBrain, and politelydeclined this'd this
- andyvine this'd this
Jazz, reggae, folk, blues, classical, Motown, funk
Basically traditional/roots of any kind other than country.
In fact, anything pre-punk (or more accurately pre-post-punk).
*black people
*safety wink
Soul / Motown - great. Just don't like the modern, whiney-vocalled, piss-thin beats with or without a crap rapping section and no tune whatsoever. Add in all the bling and posturing and it makes it even worse. It is like the soundtrack to really shit nightclubs full of dicks.Stringly, furio, and badgertastic this'd this
- JaguarPirate and georgiabeth this'd this
I have even tried the apparently indie / pitchfork friendly R&B and found that even worse if anything. All apart from Ignition by R Kelly, I like that.
well that is the best song ever made
so that's something
Everyhing about it repulses me.
- NoahVale, incandenza_, sunstroke_house, and Gorkys_Forever this'd this
There's only one thing worse than Ska.
Lot of hate for Ska
Mystifying to me. I think it's great
Pretty much any electronic music that's popular in Holland
Hardstyle, gabber, all that stuff that's advertised on dayglo posters.JaguarPirate and furio this'd this
Pop punk, ska and power metal
Everything else is good.
most genres have some good stuff in them
but I don't really care too much for:
adult contemporary/easy listening
Christian music
christian music is actually probably a pretty good call
because i don't think indie bands that mention jesus in their songs really count
it's a genre with basically no redeeming qualities. except it can be funny. so i guess it doesn't count.
Drum n bass
I could happily go a lifetime without exploring that area
Grown scandinavian men mixing up flutes, acoustics and dodgy riffs singing about cave trolls and pixies...seriously wtfpolitelydeclined and sunstroke_house this'd this
Folk metal is pretty bad
but "symphonic metal" or "classical metal" is just insanely terrible.
Behold EPICA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dys1_TuUmI4in_limbo this'd this
Breton folk hip-hop
Helps if you can understand the lyrics and thus the huge chasm between their utter ridiculousness and the seriousness with which they are delivered:

The University of Memphis baseball team had four players chosen in the recent MLB Draft, the most the Tigers have had since 2011.
Left-handed pitcher Jacob Moody, a Bartlett native, went to the Cincinnati Reds in the 17th round; right-handed pitcher Bryce Beeler was taken by the New York Mets in the 19th round; the Chicago White Sox drafted shortstop Ethan Gross in the 26th round; and the Los Angeles Angels selected left-handed pitcher Caleb Wallingford in the 35th round.
This was the fourth time since the 1984 season that the Tigers have had four players selected in one season.

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Matt Adams was expected to join the Memphis Redbirds Monday, June 9, on an injury rehabilitation assignment for a left calf strain and to perhaps play several games with the Redbirds during the current homestand at AutoZone Park.
At the time Adams was placed on the Cardinals'15-day disabled list on May 31 (retroactive to May 29), the 25-year-old first baseman was hitting a team-leading .325 (63-for-194) with three home runs and 17 RBIs in 52 games. He was leading the National League with 21 multi-hit games, ranked fourth in hits, fifth in average, and tied for fifth in doubles (16) at the point as well.
Adams last appeared in a Redbirds uniform during the 2012 season, where he batted .329 (85-for-258) with a team-leading 18 home runs and 50 RBIs in 67 games over two stints. He was selected by St. Louis in the 23rd round of the June 2009 First-Year Player Draft out of Slippery Rock University and was recognized as the Cardinals' 2011 Minor League Player of the Year.
The town of Oakland, Tenn., has been awarded a $10,800 grant from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation for a study of new procedures to improve the Fayette County town's water quality and make its wastewater treatment more efficient.
The study will specifically focus on aerators at Oakland's wastewater treatment plant.
Mayor Chris Goodman said the goal is to explore methods that could possibly save the town $10,000 to $15,000 a year.
The study begins in the fall and should be completed by next summer.
A coalition that advocated for supermarket wine sales has kicked off a statewide campaign to gather signatures in an effort to get the measure on the November ballot.
Under a law that passed this year, wine can be sold by grocery and conveniences stores starting in July 2016 if citizens vote to approve the change.
Red White and Food, which is led by the Tennessee Grocers & Convenience Store Association, lobbied for the change to state law that previously only allowed wine to be sold in liquor stores. Now, The Tennessean reports the group is trying to collect enough signatures in 156 communities to get the measure on the ballot.
"The bill's passage was just the beginning of the process," said Kroger spokeswoman Melissa Eads. "The campaign is far from over."
Only communities that currently allow package stores or liquor by the drink are eligible to hold votes as long as at least 10 percent of voters in the community sign petitions. In Metro Nashville, organizers will have to get 15,000 signatures.
The group and its supporters have until Aug. 21 to gather the signatures.

U.S. wholesale businesses built up their stockpiles of goods in April, a sign that companies expect stronger economic growth in the coming months.
The Commerce Department said Tuesday wholesale stockpiles expanded 1.1 percent in April, following a 1.1 percent gain in March. The result marks 10 straight months of rising inventories.
Sales at the wholesale level climbed 1.3 percent, led by autos, furniture and pharmaceutical drugs. Sales rose 1.6 percent in March. Year-over-year, sales are up 6.7 percent.
Because sales have roughly kept pace with the higher inventories, companies will likely need to continue restocking their shelves to meet rising consumer and business demand. That should help to fuel faster economic growth as more factories crank up their production and the spending ripples through the broader economy.

Sheriff Joe Under Grand Jury Investigation
The Los Angeles Times via YellowBrix
January 08, 2010
PHOENIX — Two top county officials said Thursday night they have been subpoenaed to answer questions next week before a federal grand jury about a high-profile Arizona sheriff and his office.
In statements read by a county spokesman, Maricopa County Manager David Smith and Deputy County Manager Sandi Wilson said they met with a federal prosecutor to discuss the case and will testify Wednesday.
Become a Cop: Career Profiles
Wilson said the general subject of the inquiry was abuses by Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office. Neither Wilson nor Smith offered specifics, said county spokesman Richard de Uriarte, who spoke with the two officials Thursday night.
Sheriff's spokesman Brian Lee said Arpaio was declining to comment on reports of the investigation. "He has stated that we will conduct business as usual," Lee said.
Sandy Raynor, a spokeswoman for the U.S attorney's office in Phoenix, said she couldn't confirm or deny a grand jury investigation.
Arpaio and an ally are embroiled in nasty legal disputes with county officials and judges. Two county supervisors and one county judge have been criminally charged in investigations by Arpaio and County Attorney Andrew Thomas.
Last month, Arpaio and Thomas filed a federal racketeering lawsuit against a group of county administrators, judges and attorneys, accusing them of participating in a conspiracy to hinder an investigation into a $341 million court building under construction in Phoenix and the investigation of Supervisor Don Stapley.
Arpaio is widely known for tough jail policies and pushing the bounds on local immigration efforts. He has led a dozen crime and immigration sweeps, some in heavily Latino areas.
Critics allege that some of Arpaio's deputies racially profiled people during immigration sweeps. But Arpaio maintains that people pulled over in the sweeps were approached because deputies had probable cause to believe they had committed crimes.
He was told in March that his office is being investigated by the U.S. Department of Justice over allegations of discrimination and unconstitutional searches and seizures. Arpaio had said he believed the investigation was spurred by his immigration efforts.
Last year, Arpaio was stripped of some of his special authority to make federal immigration arrests, though he retains some federal power that allows his jail officers to speed up deportations.
A half-day after his powers were limited, he launched a crime and immigration sweep and has since continued his enforcement of state laws banning immigrant smuggling and prohibiting businesses from knowingly hiring illegal immigrants.

A new twist on an old tradition -- 'snow' in the campus center
Flakes shower students, faculty and staff at 'Messiah Sing'
Amid a silvery winter dusk – much welcomed in this atypically warm season – the Shapiro Campus Center glowed golden with the bright lights and warm feelings of the annual "Messiah Sing."
The usual packed house of students, faculty and staff, which included President Fred Lawrence amongst the tenors, followed the lead of the Brandeis-Wellesley Orchestra and the Brandeis University Chorus in performing the oratorio "Messiah," composed by G.F. Handel in 1741.
Campus historians long ago lost track of when the annual tradition began here; all that's known is that "Messiah" was sung for many years in the Music Department before moving to the atrium of the then-new campus center in 2004.
"It is one of my favorite lines in Scripture," Father Walter Cuenin, coordinator of the Interfaith Chaplaincy, said softly as the words of the overture – "Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God" – reverberated in the soaring space. The lyric, taken from Isaiah Chapter 40, is associated in Christian tradition with John the Baptist – "the voice that crieth in the wilderness" – and is beloved in Judaism as the beginning of the haftorot of consolation.
There were cheers and cries of "Yo-ni! Yo-ni!" as Yonatan Battat '13 rose to conduct the concluding "Hallelujah Chorus," an honor usually accorded to a senior but which went to the viola-playing junior because he won the student concerto competition and has a wide range of other musical activities, including participation in the a capella group Company B.
"We sing oldies – but not this old," said Battat, a double major in music and philosophy who studies conducting with Neal Hampton, maestro of the Brandeis-Wellesley Orchestra, and choral directing with music professor James D. Olesen. He and the winner of Wellesley's student concerto competition, a violinist, will reprise their award-winning performances next semester during the Leonard Bernstein Festival of the Arts.
The concert ended with a surprise snow shower from the upper reaches of the atrium that drew oohs, ahhs and broad smiles from the assemblage. At the instigation of Office of the Arts Director Scott Edmiston, a posse including himself, Fr. Cuenin, Heller School Dean Lisa Lynch, Student Activities Director Stephanie Grimes and Assistant Provost for Graduate Student Affairs Alwina Bennett raided hole punchers in the administrative offices of the campus center during the performance and threw the contents from the upper balcony at the finale.

"Hands, Wood, and Nails" is a beautiful Christian song about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and His atoning sacrifice for all mankind. There is a lot of symbolism in this song about the Savior, His upbringing, and His purpose, to save our souls from sin.
The music on the track is a beautiful guitar and cello duet that tells the details of a sentimental story through instrumentation. This song is great for reflection, meditation, inviting the Spirit and would help tell a story with video or slideshow, or other production.
Included are two versions of the song; one includes the vocals and the other is an instrumental track. They are listed below:
Hands-Wood-and-Nails-with-Vocals-by-Chad-Neth – 3:38 Hands-Wood-and-Nails-by-Chad-Neth – 3:38
Hands, Wood, and Nails
As a carpenter's son, He worked with wood The days were so long, He learned all that He could Paying attention to every detail Using His hands, wood and nails
He was a man acquainted with grief A man whom all men can turn for relief Denied and afflicted, thorns placed round His head Forgive them Father, the last words He said
He built an eternity for you and for me A life filled with charity that never fails He built this all with His hands, wood and nails
His journey ended as it had begun His hands, wood and nails The Father's Son
He built an eternity for you and for me A life filled with charity that never fails He built this all with His hands, wood and nails

A top financial officer is charged with stealing nearly $1 million from a Terrebonne Parish business.
A top financial officer is charged with stealing nearly $1 million from a Terrebonne Parish business.
Sam Holloway, 32, 703 Victoria St., Berwick, is accused of stealing money from Nondestructive and Visual Inspection, or NVI, a company headquartered on West Park Avenue in Gray that inspects ships and oilfield structures, according to the Terrebonne Sheriff's Office. He worked at the company as a comptroller.
Holloway allegedly assigned the money to ex-employees' per-diem cards, used to pay workers for daily expenses such as meals, then used the cards himself. The thefts began in January 2012 and continued until office management learned of the crimes.
The company called the Sheriff's Office on Monday. Holloway was arrested Tuesday night, deputies said.
In total, $983,000 was stolen, deputies said.
Holloway is charged with felony theft and 14 counts of access device fraud for using the pay cards. He is in the Terrebonne jail on a $300,000 bond.

Motorized use options at Shady Rest meetings begin Feb. 10
Mammoth's highly used Shady Rest area has a long history of sometimes conflicting uses, especially in the winter when snowmobilers and skiers, dog walkers and snowshoers vie for the trail system. Although the conflicts have died down somewhat over the years, due mostly to hard work by both user groups in educating their members, the need for a final solution for winter use in the area, still remains.
That opportunity might be available finally.
The Inyo National Forest recently received an off highway vehicle grant from the state of California to fund recreation planning efforts for the "Shady Rest" area within the Town of Mammoth Lakes.
The planning process is designed to address year-round motorized use while considering the needs of non-motorized users in the immediate and surrounding area and the potential impact of proposed geothermal development. The desired outcome of the planning process is to design, review, and approve the development of a new motorized staging area.
The planning process will begin with a series of public meetings to discuss current and future recreation uses and review site development options. Information from the public meetings will be used to help develop a proposed action released to the public and subject to the National Environmental Policy Act and the California Enviornmental Quality Act.
A series of three public meetings will be held to discuss the future recreation management of the Shady Rest area.
All meetings will be held at the auditorium of the Mammoth Lakes Ranger Station and begin at 5:30 p.m. and will last about one and a half hours.
The first one will be Feb. 10 on the topic of: Existing condition, current uses and needs assessment
The second meeting will be Feb. 17 on the topic of: Multiple uses, recreation development options
The third will be March 3 on the topic of: Presentation and review of recreation alternatives
For further questions regarding the recreation planning process, contact Jon Kazmierski, recreation officer for the Mammoth Lakes and Mono Lake Ranger Districts, at 760-924-5503 or firstname.lastname@example.com

APNewsBreak: Robbery motive in triple Wyo. killing
CODY, Wyo. (AP) — Two teens charged in a triple homicide in a small Wyoming town told investigators they stole a trove of handguns from a gun store and days later planned to flee the state by stealing an SUV, leading to the slayings of its owner and her elderly parents.
Stephen Hammer, 19, and Tanner Vanpelt, 18, both of Cody, made their first court appearance Tuesday in a case that has rattled residents of the small town of Clark near the Wyoming-Montana border.
Friends of the suspects said the pair in recent months had become increasingly involved with drugs including methamphetamine.
Each is charged with 11 felony counts, including premeditated murder, use of a deadly weapon, conspiracy and murder in the course of a robbery. Some of the charges could carry the death penalty.
Circuit Court Judge Bruce Waters ordered Hammer and Vanpelt held without bond, at the urging of prosecutors who noted the severity of the charges. The judge also appointed public defenders for the defendants.
Vanpelt and Hammer said little during the hearing beyond answering the judge's questions.
Neither showed much emotion as they were led away in shackles by Park County Sheriff's deputies from a courtroom packed with people, including family and friends of both the victims and suspects. A preliminary hearing in the case was set for March 13.
Guns are generally accepted as part of everyday life in this part of northwest Wyoming, where hunting is a popular pastime. A museum dedicated to firearms is located a few blocks from the courthouse where Hammer and Vanpelt stood before the judge.
Yet murders are rare, and the fatal shootings in Clark stood out both for their brutal nature and the young age of the defendants.
"I know people change, but boy what a drastic change. He was just such a good kid," said Clark resident Jennifer Bays, referring to Hammer. She said she lived next door to Hammer's family for several years before the defendant's mother and stepfather divorced and the family moved from Clark.
Hammer and Vanpelt were arrested after neighbors described two men entering the house Saturday where the victim's bodies were found.
The neighbors saw two vehicles speeding away, including an Audi SUV belonging to Ildiko Freitas, 40, who owned the house with her husband, who was away. Freitas and her parents, Janos Volgyesi, 69, and Hildegard Volgyesi, 70, were found dead inside the house.
Court documents say that after being arrested, Hammer told investigators they used two 9 mm handguns stolen by the pair last week from a Cody gun store and went to the house to steal the Audi and escape to Denver.
Vanpelt and Freitas got into an argument, which escalated into shooting her once in the head, according to the documents.
Authorities say Hammer then went into the basement after hearing something there and shot a woman he encountered — Freitas' mother, Hildegard Volgyesi. Vanpelt told authorities he also went downstairs and shot the woman twice because it appeared she was still moving.
Vanpelt told investigators that as he was taking the SUV, he encountered Freitas' father, Janos Volgyesi, in the garage. As the elderly man turned to walk away, Vanpelt shot him twice in the back, according to the documents.
"I asked Vanpelt for clarification and asked, 'You shot him in the back?' Vanpelt replied that yes, he had shot him in the back twice, that he wasn't going to just shoot him in the legs," Lt. Dave Patterson said in a court affidavit.
After their arrest, Hammer and Vanpelt led investigators to an irrigation pipe several miles from the shooting scene where they had hidden the two 9 mm handguns allegedly used in the slayings. A search of a Cody apartment where they'd been living turned up eight more handguns and twelve boxes of ammunition that Vanpelt allegedly had hidden under a mattress.
Those weapons were reported stolen Feb. 26 from Cody Sports and Pawn, according to a search warrant. The warrant said the two teens admitted to the burglary.
It was unclear how they knew about the SUV that led to the shootings. Residents of Clark said Hammer used to live with his family in town, just a few miles from the slaying scene, but moved away several years ago.
Hammer told investigators he was "sorry for shooting 'that lady,'" according to the documents.
Vanpelt said "they had not planned it to go down this way."
The defendants' attorneys declined to comment following Tuesday's hearing.
Residents said it's the first violent killings they can recall in decades in the rural community of Clark, located along the Clarks Fork River east of Yellowstone National Park. Its roughly 300 residents live in an area dominated by farming and ranch land, broken up by the occasional oil and gas well.
Freitas grew up in Bakersfield, Calif., and attended the University of Wyoming before moving to Clark with her husband about seven years ago. Her parents lived in a separate residence on the property, according to neighbors.
A Cody school official described Vanpelt as a "typical kid" who was never a discipline problem. Bays said Hammer was exceedingly polite and well-behaved as a youngster, spending so much time with her two children that "he was like a third kid to us."
Cody teens who said they know the suspects said they had lived in recent months in an apartment that housed as many as seven people, and had become heavy users of drugs including methamphetamine, marijuana and prescription pills.
Jordan Roof, who lived in the Cody apartment with the suspects, said that despite the suspects' drug use, he never saw any evidence of violence.
"Tanner was a very good kid until just a couple months ago," Roof said. "It sucks. All this over a car."

Out on the Olympic Peninsula there's a 150 foot tall egg-shaped in Chimacum. Native Americans consider it a sacred gathering place and after decades of work, the Jamestown S'Klallam tribe has purchased the rock and the land around it. The tribe will be banning climbing this rock from now on because they say it would be like letting people climb the Sistine Chapel.

What Happened in the Hospital
Your child has pneumonia, which is an infection in the lungs. In the hospital, the doctors and nurses helped your child breathe better. They also gave your child medicine to help get rid of the germs that caused the pneumonia. And they made sure your child got enough liquids.
What to Expect at Home
Most children will still have some symptoms of pneumonia after they leave the hospital.
- Your child?s coughing will slowly get better over 7 to 14 days.
- Your child?s sleeping and eating may take up to a week to return to normal.
- You may need to take time off work to care for your child.
Home Care
Breathing warm, moist (wet) air helps loosen the sticky mucus that may be choking your child. These things may help:
- Place a warm, wet washcloth loosely over your childs nose and mouth.
- Fill a humidifier with warm water and have your child breathe in the warm mist.
Do not use steam vaporizers because they can cause burns.
Tap your child?s chest gently a few times a day as they lay with their head lower than their chest. This can help bring up mucus from the lungs.
Make sure everyone washes their hands with warm water and soap or an alcohol-based hand cleaner before they touch your child. Try to keep other children away from your child.
DO NOT allow anyone to smoke in the house, the car, or anywhere near your child.
Ask your doctor about shots for your child to prevent other infections.
- A flu shot
- A pneumonia vaccine
Eating and Drinking
Make sure your child drinks enough:
- Offer breast milk or formula if your child is younger than 12 months.
- Offer whole milk if your child is older than 12 months.
These drinks may help relax the airway and loosen the mucus: Warm tea, lemonade, apple juice, or chicken broth for children over age 1.
Eating or drinking may make your child tired. Offer small amounts, but more often than usual.
If your child throws up because of coughing, wait a few minutes and try to feed your child again.
Antibiotics help most children with pneumonia get better.
- Your doctor may tell you to give antibiotics to your child.
- Dont miss any doses.
- Finish all the medicine, even if your child starts to feel better.
DO NOT give your child cough medicine or cold medicine unless your doctor says it is okay. Your child?s coughing helps them get rid of mucus from their lungs.
Your doctor or nurse will tell you if it is okay to use acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) for fever or pain. If these medicines are okay to use, your doctor will tell you how often to give them to your child.
When to Call the Doctor
Call the doctor if:
- Your childs is a having a hard time breathing.
- Your child?s chest muscles are pulling in with each breath.
- Your child is breathing faster than 50 to 60 breaths per minute (when not crying).
- Your child is making a grunting noise.
- Your child is sitting with shoulders hunched over.
- Your child?s skin, nails, gums, or lips are a bluish or grayish color.
- The area around your child?s eyes is a bluish or grayish color.
- Your child is very, very tired.
- Your child is not moving around very much.
- Your child has a limp or floppy body.
- Your child?s nostrils are flaring out when they are breathing.
- Your child loses their appetite.
- Your child is irritable.
- Your child has trouble sleeping.

Forecast: This Should be a Warmer Winter, BUT Don't Discount Portland Snowstorm
by Bend Weekly News Sources
CORVALLIS, Ore. – For most of Oregon, the fall and winter weather this year should be comparatively warmer and maybe a touch wetter than usual – but with one big caveat.
Don't discount the possibility of a big snowstorm – at least, in Portland.
George Taylor, the state climatologist employed at Oregon State University, released his annual fall and winter forecast on Monday, which is based on analyzing numerous oceanic and atmospheric conditions and comparing them to similar years in the past. These "analog" years often offer the best avenue for predictions, Taylor said.
"One of the key factors is whether we are in any kind of an El Niño or La Niña year," Taylor said, "and it is difficult to gauge because different agencies and climatic models don't always agree. In general, most predictions call for a neutral to a weak El Niño winter – and some of our biggest snow events have occurred during these neutral years.
"Although this is just a guess, I don't think we'll see widespread snow throughout the low elevations, including the Willamette Valley and the rest of Oregon," Taylor added. "But it wouldn't surprise me to see at least one snow event of four or more inches in Portland, especially close to the gorge. Portland could have a big snow year."
Taylor said mountain snows usually are a bit deeper during these ENSO-neutral (El Niño/Southern Oscillation) years – especially in southern Oregon.
"For skiers, this should be a decent year," he pointed out. "Not as good as last year, but decent."
In addition to El Niño or La Niña conditions, Taylor uses a number of other factors in developing analog years including the overall warm-dry or cool-wet cycles – known as the multi-decadal phase – that occur on a 20- to 25-year basis. He also uses sea surface temperatures, the solar cycle, regional climate patterns and even hurricanes.
"Years ago, we noticed a strong correlation between the number of Atlantic hurricanes and Pacific Northwest climate during the winter," Taylor said. "Last year's very busy hurricane season followed by an extremely active winter in the Northwest is consistent with that pattern. The 2006 hurricane season – so far – has been unremarkable, suggesting we might have a much less active winter."
However, there have been some extreme events in analog years for the 2006-07 fall and winter seasons.
In 1951-52, for example, Oregon was struck by a major wind storm in November, two more large windstorms in December, a tornado in December near Eugene, and a large snowstorm in March.
The 1960-61 year brought statewide flooding in February.
Twenty years ago, Oregon saw record setting rainfall in November of 1986, followed by a strong coastal windstorm in January, and flooding in northwest Oregon in February.
Ten years ago, during another analog year, Oregon was struck by extreme floods in November, and more flooding in late December and early January. An ice storm hit Portland in December of 1996.
The last strong analog year was just three years ago in 2003-04. Oregon was hit by record cold in November, and an Arctic breakout with freezing rain and snow in January.
"As you can see," Taylor said, "predicting what will happen involves a bit of guesswork. There is the potential for extreme events, so windstorms and flooding are possibilities. So is snow, but Portland still seems the most likely possibility."
Taylor also has produced regional forecasts for Oregon. They include:
Oregon Coast: Above-average fall (October-December) and winter (January-March) Temperatures; average fall and winter precipitation.
Northwest Interior: Average fall temperatures and above-average winter temperatures; above-average fall precipitation and average winter precipitation.
Southwest Interior: Average fall temperatures and above-average winter temperatures; above-average fall precipitation and average winter precipitation.
N. Central/Northeast: Average fall temperatures and above-average winter temperatures; average fall and winter precipitation.
S. Central/Southeast: Average fall temperatures and above-average winter temperatures; average fall and winter precipitation.
"Overall," Taylor said, "it looks like we'll see warmer-than-average temperatures in Oregon and average to above-average precipitation. Remember, that this is still a guess based on conditions. Last year was probably our most successful forecast ever, so we'll see if we can make it two in a row."
The Oregon Climate Service at OSU has Taylor's entire forecast, as well as charts, graphics and links to other valuable climate sites. The Oregon Climate Service can be linked at: http://www.ocs.oregonstate.edu/index.html

James River Bridge Grid Deck and Roadway Analysis Released
Additional safety improvement options identified
HAMPTON ROADS– The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has released its analysis of the Route 17 James River Bridge (JRB) grid deck and roadway. Several non-structural mitigation measures and one structural enhancement have been identified to improve the safety and functionality of the James River Bridge for motorists.
VDOT conducted a three-month evaluation of the bridge after observing an increase in crashes that began two months after the new grid deck's installation. The JRB Grid Deck Replacement Project was completed in December, 2012.
"The purpose of this analysis was to evaluate the crashes that occurred on the James River Bridge grid deck in 2013 and the factors that were involved with each crash, as well as to identify if any further actions could be taken to heighten motorists safety on our infrastructure," said Jim Utterback, VDOT Hampton Roads District Administrator.
VDOT initiated an internal evaluation in May 2013, of the bridge deck's roadway surface and a safety audit of the structure. During the analysis, an advisory speed limit for the grid deck was posted at 45 mph during inclement weather, a 10 mph reduction from the regulatory speed limit of 55 mph. Additionally in June 2013, VDOT contracted with the Virginia State Police (VSP) to station troopers on the bridge at peak travel times on days with predicted poor weather conditions.
According to Dwayne Cook, VDOT Assistant District Administrator for Operations, there were 20 crashes on the James River Bridge from February through early July, 2013. The majority of the crashes occurred in the southbound direction during wet weather and involved a light truck or sport utility vehicle (SUV). Approximately 30,000 drivers travel the bridge safely every day.
VDOT examined such possible crash factors as driver behavior, mechanical failures and roadway deficiencies. While no traffic safety deficiencies were found, Cook noted that a variety of options were identified that could heighten standard safety measures and motorist awareness. Traffic safety options include:
• Continued use of overhead electronic message signs to post the 45 mph advisory speeds during inclement weather
• Continued presence of Virginia State Police during inclement weather
• Installation of "Slippery When Wet"/"Steel Deck" signs
• Installation of "Stay in Lane" signs, along with solid white double lane lines
• Continued monitoring of crashes to determine the effect of mitigation strategies and modification to the grid deck to increase friction and skid resistance
• Use of traffic calming devices to slow down traffic in the event that further safety options prove necessary
In addition to the roadway safety audit, a grid deck assessment was performed to include skid testing that evaluated surface traction in both dry and wet conditions. "At this time, our analysis of the skid testing on the newly installed bridge grid deck has found no structural deficiencies or abnormalities," said John Jacobs, VDOT Assistant District Administrator for Maintenance. "However, we will continue to study the grid deck for contributing factors and evaluate ways to help increase the traction for vehicles on the deck's surface, thereby increasing motorist safety."
Jacobs noted the new bridge grid deck has a different design and an increased contact surface area as compared to the old bridge deck. With this, four potential courses of action were identified to enhance traction on the new grid deck surface during inclement weather conditions. Among the options reviewed were:
• Scarifying (roughening) of the grid deck surface
• Installing studs to the grid deck surface
• Adding two-foot wide concrete strips beneath the concrete wheel lines
• Metalizing (or applying a metal coating) to the surface of the grid deck.
After evaluating the five criteria (reliability, installation, surface friction, ridability and cost) for each course of action on the new deck, VDOT determined that installing studs to the deck surface was the best course of action to help provide enhanced vehicle traction.
"By installing the additional traction and implementing further traffic safety measures, we can help provide an added level of security for motorists utilizing the James River Bridge," said Utterback.
Installation of the studs is expected to begin late summer/early fall and is anticipated to take approximately three months to complete at an estimated cost of $800,000. VDOT will provide ample notification to motorists before the work and any related lane closures are scheduled to begin.
Information in VDOT news releases was accurate at the time the release was published. For the most current information about projects or programs, please visit the project or program Web pages. You may find those by searching by keyword in the search Virginia DOT box above.

The first friendship I formed in college was a result of bonding over pink bedding from Pottery Barn Kids. That didn't last too long though. One of our other roommates, Emma was pretty annoyed that I decorated my corner of the room with all things pink. It bothered me that she would sing while we studied. I don't think either of us were convinced that we'd end up being friends.
But Emma and I found common ground in the kitchen. Our very very small (two people in there was a crunch) dorm room kitchen. In that kitchen where we realized we enjoyed each others company and our bold personalities could actually work together. Our friendship really began by making messes in the kitchen. We invented wafflefluff. We attempted to flambé bananas with Malibu Rum. We became friends over the stove. This was the first time I really realized that friends and food go together.
I've said often that the one thing they don't teach you when you graduate college is that after, you have to learn how to make friends all over again. Sure you're always going to have girlfriends from high school and college, but they don't always live close. And when you're out of school, you're out of situations where you naturally make friends…so you have to work at it. I went on a lot of girl dates my first year or two out of college. I still do now. And it seems weird, but if you meet a girl that you think you might get along with you have to put yourself out there and just be like, "hi I'm Nikki, want to be friends?" It's so strange. It's like playing in the sandbox all over again. But that little bit of courage to pick up friends pays off – that's how I met so many of my good friends today.
Some of my favorite moments of last year involved not only eating with good friends, but cooking with them too. We made pasta, funnel cake, cookies, chili, lovely cheese plates, sangria, pizza, fig chutney, guacamole, a patriotic fruit tart, and Julia Child's chocolate soufflé.
The soufflé night was one of my favorites. Over two years ago I met Emily and Rachel at a bar. I don't remember much about that evening except that it was sweltering hot, and as we tried to chat in front of a fan I thought they were sweet and fun. I held out my hand and introduced myself. Many brunches, books, boy stories, cheese, real marathons, figurative marathons, and glasses of wine later and we have a real girl-grown friendship. How cool is that?
Emily left yesterday and is off on what will absolutely be a life-changing adventure. But before she left we all made chocolate soufflé together. One girl stirs the melting chocolate, another beats the egg whites, another butters the ramekins. It's not an easy recipe, but it's much easier when you're not alone. While we wait and the room fills with sweet chocolate smells, we go back to the wine, the boy stories, the new adventures. Oh, and then we eat. It's simple, it's chocolate, it's friendship.
Not sure I can say completely why the kitchen is better with friends in it. Mostly it's a big bowl of sappy feelings. But also, it's creating something and sharing it together. It's not materialistic or judgmental. It's turning a brick of chocolate into a rich fluffy cloud. It's celebrating how far we've come from that first bar or dorm room and how far we'll go next.
I can only hope 2013 holds more moments in the kitchen with friends like this. We may even talk about pink monogrammed bedding (because seriously, it's not like I've moved on from that!), but it will be over piled-high dishes, flour spills, "more wine?"s, and food that tastes like memories.

JG G36C 470 rds Airsoft AEG Hi-Cap Magazine
Sold Out
Product Details
High capacity magazines are the favorite magazine for airsoft players. High capacity (Hicap) magazines usually hold 150 rounds or more. These magazines work using a tensioned mainspring (similar to a mechanically wound timepiece) or an electrically driven feeding gear. The advantage of these magazines is the simple fact that they are able to hold a great many BBs. Most beginner or intermediate AEGs come with a high capacity magazine. The distinguishing feature of Hicap magazines is the teeth of the star wheel visible on the bottom of the mag. Simply wind the wheel until a more audible clicking noise is heard and it is more difficult to spin the wheel. Speedloaders are not needed with this type of magazine, just a big bag of BBs and funnel to direct their flow.
*Note: This magazine is more susceptible to damage from poor quality BBs and FOD (Foreign Objects or Debris). Be sure to use BBs of good quality in this magazine.

Visit his Web site at: http://www.fmconsulting.net.
My company was recently asked to conduct a health club sales training class on ethical selling practices. The following are some of the points that came out of that training seminar.
Whenever I conduct a training class of this nature, I start by asking each person in attendance the first thing that pops into their head when the word "sales" is mentioned. I am always amazed at the negative descriptions many people use for sales. Furthermore, I get the sense that this negative perception some health club people have about sales is used as a permission slip to "just get the sale."
Here are six other tips that came out of the training session for your salespeople—and owners:
1. Don't intentionally misrepresent anything—ever. Never, never, ever lie to a health club member or guest about anything. Ever. Period.
2. Make it a priority to fix any significant misunderstandings that you can. It's possible that your member or guest will form incorrect ideas or beliefs about your health club. It's very tempting, when these misunderstandings work in your favor, to ignore them. On the important issues that impact membership sales, allowing misunderstandings to exist is called an act of passive dishonesty. Correct them when you can.
3. Without exception, salespeople should work hard for the health club owner. It's easy for a health club salesperson to give in to the temptation to cut corners when it comes to working a full day, every day. After all, who really knows if you make your first prospect call at 9 a.m. instead of 8:30 a.m.?
A code of ethics is easy to live by when the club owner is watching. But it's a real test of character when salespeople's ethics are tested in situations where no one else knows. Salespeople owe their club owners consistent, full days of their best efforts at the health club. Anything less is unethical. If you're a salesperson, do the right thing when no one is watching.
4. If you say you'll do something, do what you say you are going to do. This isn't as easy as it sounds. In its simplest form, don't over promise. That's difficult to do when you're in the middle of a competitive situation over a big corporate sale, and you know the health club around the corner is over promising to get the sale. But, if you're going to be ethical, you won't over promise because you know you won't be able to do what you say you're going to do.
5. No one does it alone, so recognize those who help you. It's easy for salespeople to get into the mindset that they alone are responsible for the health club's selling success. After all, they're the ones who are out there, fighting the membership sales battle every day. A club owner rarely knows what good work they did following up to get that sale, or how hard it is some days when nothing goes their way.
In spite of this, no salesperson—or club owner—could do their jobs without the support of a staff of people at the front desk, on the workout floor, in maintenance, etc. I'm sure the front desk staff members have cleaned up more than a few of your messes, and they have positively impacted many of your new members and guests. All of these health club support staff members have contributed in significant ways to your success in selling memberships. It is just as dishonest to not recognize them as it is to misrepresent the health club.
6. Be coachable and willing to continuously learn and improve. Salespeople can always improve. Salespeople have an ethical obligation, not only to the health club owner but also to themselves, to become as good as they can be, to continuously improve. When they decide that they know everything about health club sales, they—and you—quit learning and improving. And when that happens, you rob yourself and your health club of potential. You're either getting better or you're getting worse. There is no in between.
Now, let's get ready to sell—ethically.

NEW YORK (AP) — By the time Wade Davis was done for the night, the New York Yankees' hitting woes were over.
Robinson Cano cracked a three-run homer, Lyle Overbay added a grand slam and New York snapped out of its offensive funk with an 8-1 victory over Davis and the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday.
"I fell behind when I was in the stretch with runners on. I left bad pitches up in the zone," Davis said.
Ivan Nova delivered another impressive pitching performance and the Yankees, held to one run each of the previous three days, stopped a three-game slide.
Cano and Overbay both connected off Davis (4-8), who dropped his third consecutive start.
With two outs in the third, Cano stayed back on a 1-1 breaking ball and drove it just over the left-center fence to make it 4-0. It was the 21st homer of the season for Cano, the American League captain for the Home Run Derby next Monday night across town at Citi Field.
Cano singled to start the sixth and New York loaded the bases with none out for Overbay. He lofted a full-count pitch a few rows deep to the opposite field in left for his fourth career slam and first since May 10, 2006, with Toronto.
"I made a good pitch, but it was a little bit up over the plate," Davis said. "I've had success against him in the past with that pitch and he just hit it this time."
Davis crouched in disappointment next to the mound and was pulled from the game. He allowed eight runs, matching a career high, and six hits in his second ineffective start this season against the Yankees. They tagged him for seven runs and seven hits May 10 during a three-game sweep in Kansas City.
"Wade threw fine. The numbers don't always tell the story," Royals manager Ned Yost said.
Nova (4-2) yielded only four singles and a double in eight innings for his second win in three solid starts since returning from the minors. He struck out six and walked two.
"He was excellent," Yost said. "Outstanding fastball that he kept down and his curveball was the best we've seen all year."
The right-hander was coming off his first career complete game, a three-hitter against Baltimore last Friday that included 11 strikeouts.
"I feel like we stung a few balls but right at people, so we have nothing to show for it. We just have to bounce back tomorrow," Kansas City outfielder Lorenzo Cain said.
Eric Hosmer hit an RBI double with two outs in the eighth for the Royals.
It wasn't all good news for the Yankees. Depleted by injuries all season, New York had two more players get banged up in slumping Travis Hafner and speedy Brett Gardner.
Hafner came out of the game with a bruised left foot, while Gardner departed with a bruised right leg after getting hit by a pitch for the second time. The team said X-rays on both were negative and they were day to day.
Hafner got hurt while swinging in the indoor cage during the middle innings. He cranked the pitching machine up near 100 mph and fouled one off his foot.
"Just kind of a freak incident," Hafner said, adding he thinks he should be all right. "That's a first."
Gardner also walked twice and scored two runs. He reached base all four times from the leadoff spot.
In the first inning, Gardner walked and scored on a wild pitch. When catcher George Kottaras' hurried flip sailed past Davis covering home, Ichiro Suzuki tried to score all the way from second.
Hosmer, however, scooped up the ball beside the mound and threw out Suzuki. Davis made way at the last minute for Kottaras, who blocked the plate nicely.
Helped by Luis Cruz's diving grab at third base, Nova retired 12 straight before loading the bases with two outs in the fifth. After a visit from pitching coach Larry Rothschild, the right-hander set down Alcides Escobar on a shallow fly.
Cano doubled off the very top of the right-center wall in the seventh, but was thrown out by Cain trying to stretch it into a triple.
Cano also had some fun with double-play partner Eduardo Nunez on a second-inning popup that was caught by the shortstop on Cano's side of second base. Cano casually folded his arms in mock disbelief as the ball descended and then shot Nunez a nasty look before cracking a smile.
In the end, it was New York's offensive outburst against Davis that made it an easy night.
"We needed that really bad," Cano said.

Kenton's stingy defense paired with explosive offense
No one would ever call Kenton's offense an afterthought, but while the Wildcats' five-wide no-hold's barred passing attack is still one of the country's most prolific it's the defense that has perhaps been most impressive through two weeks of the 2013 season.
Kenton's defense held defending Division V state champion Coldwater to two points in the season opener. A week later, they shut out Wapakoneta for three quarters before giving up two fourth-quarter touchdowns when the game was already decided in a 52-16 rout.
It's that hornet's nest the St. Marys football team walks into on Friday when the Roughriders travel to Kenton for a Week 3 match-up.
Kenton is led on defense by University of Michigan commit Noah Furbush, a 6-foot-4, 240-pound outside linebacker who has a team-high 25 tackles to go with a pair of sacks and eight tackles for loss.
Fellow linebacker Tristan Reichelderfer, a 6-foot-3, 195 pounder, has made 24 tackles — including 16 last week against Wapakoneta.
Junior defensive back Trevor Downing has 21 tackles, an interception and half a sack through two weeks of the season.
Kenton is giving up an average of just nine points and 237 yards per game after a pair of games against Coldwater and Wapakoneta teams that both averaged more than 28 points per game in 2012.
Oh, and the Kenton offense can put some points on the board, too.
Quarterback Grant Sherman, who threw seven first-half touchdowns against the Roughriders last year before sitting out the second half, completed 25-of-44 pass for 256 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Week 1 against Coldwater. He followed that up with a 29-for-45 for 404 yards, six touchdowns and one interception last week in Kenton's 52-16 win over Wapakoneta.
In his second season as the starter after taking over following Maty Mauk's graduation, he has thrown for 5,647 yards, 64 touchdowns and 14 interceptions in his career.
Eight different Wildcats have caught passes in the first two weeks, led by senior Justin Sawmiller's 21 catches and 258 yards and two touchdowns.
Junior Kollin Stollar has 13 catches for 225 yards and three touchdowns. Matt Bahr has just three catches, but all three have gone for touchdowns.
St. Marys lost in Week 2 in heartbreaking fashion once again. After losing 19-16 in the season opener, the Roughriders fell to Shawnee 14-13.
St. Marys' offense sputtered much of the game before getting a big play on a 60-yard Trent Wale touchdown run late in the third quarter. The Riders ran for 163 yards on 34 carries — good for 4.8 yards per carry.
"It was a 48 minute-game and we probably played 30 minutes of it pretty well," St. Marys head coach Greg Phillips said. "It's a young team. That's no excuse. But we just have to stay together and keep working."
Fullback Trent Wale has been the Riders' big play running back so far. He's sprung two long touchdown runs in two games. He has rushed for 182 yards on 22 carries (8.3 yards per carry) and those two scores. St. Marys has spread the wealth in the offensive backfield, with five rushers with more than 49 yards on the ground.
The St. Marys defense has played well the first two weeks of the season. The Riders held Shawnee to 269 yards of offense, and 67 of those yards came on one play when Angelo Fox popped out of the center of the line for a third-quarter touchdown for Shawnee.
"We made some adjustments, we got that fixed up. But we didn't look great on two or three plays. If we could just get some consistency," Phillips said.
St. Marys' Jared Knous has been everywhere on the defensive side of the ball from the secondary. He leads the Riders with 21 tackles, three pass break-ups and a WBL-best two interceptions.
Linebacker Matt Alexander has two sacks and 15 tackles.
Kenton has won five straight games against the Roughriders dating back to 2008. St. Marys last won at Kenton in 2007 by a 28-14 score.

You need to take your IRA payouts
It's almost the end of the year, and an alarming number of individuals who are subject to mandatory withdrawal rules have not taken their IRA distributions as of yet.
A representative of Fidelity Investments, one of the world's largest providers of financial products and services, says that nearly two-thirds (65 percent) of their 500,000-plus IRA customers who are required to take mandatory distributions this year have not yet taken the full amount.
Additionally, 54 percent have not taken any of their required distributions for 2012.
These individuals are facing a stiff IRS penalty if they don't act quickly.
People in that position (over age 70 1/2 -- or younger if you inherited an IRA), need to know the required minimum distribution rules.
If that's you or someone you know, you may think you have plenty of time to act before year end.
In practice, it's best to act before Dec. 15 at the latest. Why? Three very important reasons.
First, you many need to liquidate holdings to free up cash to move out of your IRA. That can take a few days. Second, your IRA custodian needs time to process your paperwork. Third, if you don't actually make the required withdrawal before year end, you'll wind up paying more in taxes when you file your 2012 tax return. Your tax bill will include a penalty, which is 50 cents on every dollar that you fail to withdraw on time. (For example, if your RMD is $1,000 and your withdrawal is zero, your penalty will be $500.)
Why do people delay taking their RMDs?
Sometimes, their accountants will encourage them to delay to year end to take advantage of tax deferral for as long as possible.
Other times, there can be confusion as to what to do.
As JP, a reader of this column says, "I read articles on the Internet and newspapers about (RMDs), but still (find the subject) very confusing."
So let me give you some tools to use to get reliable information on the subject.
Probably the best place to start is with the list of frequently asked questions on the IRS website (www.irs.gov) at http://tinyurl.com/9qygl39. There you will find a very good review of the types of retirement plans that are subject to RMDs, how to calculate RMDs, what happens if they are not calculated and withdrawn properly, taxation of RMDs, and other basics.
In addition, you'll find some nuances, such as whether you need to take RMDs from each and every IRA you own. (No, you can add them up and take them from one IRA if you like.)
But a different rule applies to 401(k)s: You must take RMDs from each and every 401(k) you own. See FAQ #5, "Can an account owner just take an RMD from one account instead of separately from each account?")
Another nuance is how to calculate an RMD if your sole IRA beneficiary is your spouse and he or she is more than 10 years younger than you are. See FAQ #4, "How is the RMD calculated?"
Yet another is whether you need to take RMDs from a 401(k) if you are over 70 1/2 but still working. The answer is no, unless you own 5 percent or more of the stock of your employer in whose 401(k) you are participating. You'll find the answer in "Smart 401(k) Investing -- Withdrawing from Your 401(k), " at http://tinyurl.com/buuug8w. This is an educational piece on 401(k) withdrawals written by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the largest independent regulator for all securities firms doing business in the U.S.
While your IRA custodian can calculate your RMD for you, that won't diminish your liability if the calculation is incorrect. The custodian uses year-end values. If you withdrew funds from your IRA before 2011 ended and rolled them over into an IRA in January of 2012, the 2011 custodian will not have the correct Dec. 31, 2011, value. You will still be responsible for including that value in your RMD calculation.
To do your own calculations, you'll want to take a look at an online calculator offered by FINRA at http://tinyurl.com/84le3ww, but note that you won't be able to calculate for a spouse who is more than 10 years younger.
Another calculator is Fidelity's calculator at http://tinyurl.com/cmzpe4r. By the way, don't get confused by this: Fidelity calls RMDs "MRD's."
You'll also want to read IRS Publication 590, Individual Retirement Arrangements, which you can get online at irs.gov or by calling 1-800-Tax-Form.
Ken Hevert, vice president, personal retirement products at Fidelity, also points out that some IRA custodians like his offer programs that run on auto-pilot to take RMDs out of your IRAs automatically. Check those out as well.

I have 0 (zero) desire to see any of the streams announced so far for the new season. Granted, only 4-ish series have been announced thus far, but still. Hopefully there will be something to pique my interest pretty soon. -_-

There aren't that many action anime premiering in Winter so Crunchyroll can only stream what is actually there. The Winter season is full of shorts and comedies so that will likely be the majority of CR's lineup. I think CR has a good shot at getting Zettai Karen Children-the Unlimited. There is a reasonably serious anime called Maoyuu Maou Yuusha this season but since it is quite similar to Spice & Wolf, Funimation might get it.
But yes, I was hoping they'd stream Encouragement of Climb so I am happy there and have added it to my queue.

Yes! I love the shorts. Poyopoyo, Chitose Get You, Teekyu have all been fun.
I'll watch Ai Mai Mi
sad that we have to wait till 1/2 for the next set of announcements
hope we get some more good shows

Engrish fail, all I can say about that.
The only short that I've really enjoyed is Poyopoyo. The other ones have been satisfactory to terrible, but because they are 2-4 minutes it's not a big time waster. I think they bring a lot of ad revenue from free members, and in addition the only short that is continuing on simulcast is Bottom Biting Bug and I haven't been watching that because it appeals to a children's audience.
great new shows.
i can't wait what show are going to come.
interesting shows. peace out.
Those are ok, I mean, I haven't even heard of 'Encouragement to Climb' at all...I'll tune in to see the first couple episodes to see if they're worth a watch. Poyopoyo is really the only short-anime I've seen yet, so I have no expectations as of now...but we need some actual shows.
I know you'll be simulcasting Chihayafuru Season 2, but I'm personally waiting for Oreshura, [email protected], Boku wa Tomodachi Sukinai NEXT, Tamako Market, Maoyuu Maou Yuusha, And maybe some movies or OVAs (I know, very unlikely, but a guy can hope), such as Saint Young Men and Nekomonogatari.
I know some of those shows are very unlikely, but I hope CR can get some of them.
After reading the first volume of the manga, I am rather looking forward to Encouragement of Climb. Though I am kind of sad its only five minutes long per episode. As for Mangirl and Ai-Mai-Mi I'll give them a try.
1 out of 5 winter shows available in Spain, and it's just a 3-minute show...Why am I not surprised?

Things are better between my dad & Dave... It's been rough for everyone but I'm hoping it's settling down... So, anyway, I wanted to tell you about one of my FAVORITE restaurants ever because we're going soon!!! It's Port Edward Restuarant in Algonquin, IL.
It's super-themey and even has a boat and a pond inside & I absolutely love it. It was opened in 1952. They have an amazing wine lounge and I can't even begin to talk about how awesome the food is. There are cool little secret rooms & lofts & as a kid I used to love walking around with my stepbrother & stepsister exploring. Christian is going to love it!!

Mitchell Tibshrany Earns Southern Zone Distinguished Service Award
Mitchell Tibshrany, left, receives congratulations from current S.C. Board chairman Gene Dinkins.
Mitchell S. Tibshrany, Jr., PE, was awarded the Distinguished Service Award at the NCEES Southern Zone meeting in New Orleans, La., on May 16, 2009. This honor caps Tibshrany's 12-year service to the South Carolina Board of Professional Engineers and Surveyors and to NCEES as a Board member.
Tibshrany served as chairman of the South Carolina Board from 2000 to 2002 and from 2004 to 2006, as Secretary of the Board 1996-1998, and as vice chairman. During his tenure on the Board, he was instrumental in decisions regarding budget issues, policy issues, and disciplinary/investigative matters, and he worked to ensure that licensees in South Carolina were represented at regional and national meetings and on NCEES committees. He was elected Southern Zone vice president in 2005. He worked to ensure development of Zone leadership, smooth transition of elected officers, and appointment of committee members who would provide substantive involvement and make objective, sound recommendations and decisions on issues. As a member of the NCEES Board of Directors, he provided leadership as the Council implemented changes to solidify its foundation of support from state Boards and other constituencies.
Tibshrany worked tirelessly during his years on the South Carolina Board to establish a joint engineering degree between South Carolina State University and the University of South Carolina. When implemented, this "Ambassadorship Program" will afford engineering technology students at S.C. State University the opportunity to achieve the equivalent of an accredited degree in engineering by completing specific coursework at the University of South Carolina. Tibshrany continues in his role of "Ambassador" for the Board as he hammers out the agreement details between the two schools' engineering programs.
Tibshrany promoted faculty licensure based on his strong belief that professors should set an example for students by becoming licensed. His work with ASCE in developing guidelines for accepting advanced degrees as work experience equivalencies resulted in adoption of model requirements for faculty licensure.
Mr. Tibshrany has given much to the engineering profession, not only as an electrical engineer with a distinguished career, but also as a hard-working member of the South Carolina Board, a dedicated NCEES volunteer at the Zone and national levels, as a leader in professional associations, and a generous supporter of others who also wished to serve.
The South Carolina Board of Professional Engineers and Surveyors congratulates Mitchell S. Tibshrany, Jr. on this well-deserved honor!

With the Senate scheduled to vote on a bill that would revamp New Jersey's business incentives, its top Assembly sponsor said he is "cautiously optimistic" the measure will move ahead without any new amendments.
But if the bill is tweaked again in this afternoon's session, he said, the overhaul "at best" will not be revisited until after the November elections — and lawmakers may even be forced to start over.
"I am cautiously optimistic that the bill will pass as is, without amendments," Assemblyman Albert Coutinho (D-Newark) said this morning. However, he added, "I'm concerned that any amendments, at the very best, will make it a lame-duck bill, and may just require us to start from scratch."
The bill in question is the closely watched Economic Opportunity Act. The measure has been on the drawing board for more than a year as officials seek to restock New Jersey's depleted incentive programs, while making them more competitive with neighboring states.
But the legislation has faced months of delays, many of them tied to amendments made as it shuttled between the Senate and Assembly and negotiated by leaders in Trenton.
The latest sticking points include a requirement that residential builders who receive subsidies set aside 20 percent of their units for affordable housing. The mandate was pulled from a version that cleared the Senate in late June, instead putting the issue in the hands of municipalities, but was later reinserted by Assembly sponsors amid several other amendments by the lower house.
The bill has effectively been in limbo since then, to the dismay of business and development groups that make up a broad coalition of support for the effort. And they say several major projects hang in the balance.
Sen. Raymond Lesniak (D-Union), the chief sponsor in his chamber, said in an e-mail that the amendment "made the bill virtually useless for smaller urban municipalities like Elizabeth, Trenton, Camden, Patterson, Passaic, Atlantic City," because it makes residential development unaffordable. He added that "if we don't amend it in the Senate, we'll have to rely on Governor (Chris) Christie to correct it with a conditional veto."
The measure, which Christie has publicly supported and pledged to sign, would consolidate five incentive programs into two while expanding eligibility and putting a greater focus on job creation. During negotiations, it's also been loaded with bonuses for South Jersey aimed at appealing to lawmakers from the region.
Coutinho said he has "great respect for (Lesniak), but the reality is we need to move this bill today, as is." He said has offered to work with Lesniak "on a standalone bill, during lame duck, to address any outstanding concerns that we have not covered in this bill."
But he also said he's told Lesniak and other Senate leaders that any amendments would delay action until after the election.
"And I am concerned that it could possibly have to be completely renegotiated, and end up being a new bill," Coutinho said.
Lesniak said he would make a full statement on the Senate floor. He is a member of the judiciary committee, which was scheduled to meet at 11 a.m. today. The full Senate was scheduled to meet at 2 p.m. for a voting session that includes the incentives bill.

Hungry Bear Publishing Feb. 17 released an eBook on Amazon.com's Kindle platform titled "New York's Adirondack Park: A User's Guide," by local author Andy Flynn and friends from the Adirondack Forest Preserve Education Partnership (AFPEP).
The "User's Guide" answers the question – "What is the Adirondack Park?" Using the Adirondack Park's leading government, not-for-profit and historical organizations, the "User's Guide" gives the public — residents and visitors — a valuable reference guide from respected sources that helps them responsibly use the Forest Preserve while giving them informational links to community assets, such as attractions, special events, communications, transportation, tourism organizations, and recreational opportunities. There are also helpful tips on using the Forest Preserve, hiking, camping, fishing, horseback riding, bicycling and more.
The book includes 13 of Flynn's stories from the "Adirondack Attic" book series, straight from the archives of the Adirondack Museum, to help illustrate the "how-to" aspects of using the Forest Preserve and give a historical perspective.
"The stories complement the resource information and educational components of this book by humanizing the 6-million-acre Adirondack Park," Flynn said. "After all, it's the people who live in Adirondack communities that make this protected place so special."
In addition to Flynn's stories, officials from the New York State Adirondack Park Agency and Department of Environmental Conservation contributed to this book, along with members of the Adirondack Forest Preserve Education Partnership: the DEC, Adirondack Regional Tourism Council, Adirondack Mountain Club, Wildlife Conservation Society, Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program, and Leading Edge.
"It takes a lifetime to really understand the Adirondacks – the people, the zoning, the wilderness ... the everything – but this is an excellent primer," said George DeChant, board member of the Indian Lake Chamber of Commerce. "With all the links, phone numbers and addresses, you will have enough information to spend a lifetime learning the nooks and crannies of all that is inside the Blue Line."
The eBook is available for $6.99 on the Kindle platform at www.amazon.com. The "User's Guide" includes convenient hyperlinks to the many organizations, attractions, and services throughout the Park. It includes more than 50 color images and can be read on a variety of electronic devices, including PC, Mac, Kindle, Kindle Fire, Kindle Fire HD, iPad and iPhone with the Kindle Reading App, a free download.
"We should pass a law: I really think this book should be included with the deed when people buy property in the Park," said Kimberly Rielly, director of communications for the Lake Placid CVB/Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism.
A print version of the book is expected to be released in the summer of 2013. For more information about the "User's Guide," visit www.hungrybearpublishing.com.

DILLSBURG, PA --A former teacher in central Pennsylvania is facing charges after police say she allowed a student to perform body piercings in class.
Police in Carroll Township allege 34-year-old April Beard allowed a student to pierce Beard's ear and then pierce another student's stomach without parental consent at Northern York County High School. She's charged with endangering the welfare of children and corruption of minors.
Police say the student had a piercing kit.
The school district says that Beard, a family and consumer science teacher, did not return to the classroom after the April 16 incident. She resigned a month later.
Beard's attorney, Robert Daniels, says she's a good person and was a good teacher. He says she recognizes her "lapse of judgment."

0 Members and 1 Lonely Barbarian are spying on this topic.
Aside from a few fun parts, I hated Chronicles. It didn't fit at all into the world that Pitch Black painted and I had already become sick of the stupid prophecy trope. Taken on their own and as a separate franchise, I agree with you about the Necromongers. But I was glad to see that Riddick went back to its Pitch Black roots.In other words, you disliked the things I enjoyed about it and vice versa (As an aside, my teenage daughter burst out laughing loud enough for the rest of the theater to hear when Santana got it. Have to say, I felt a certain twisted pride in that. )
But yeah, I want a Necromonger novel, and a movie: Till Underverse Come, the Necromonger Trilogy, episode 1

I was pretty upset that the large was so small. I actually had to re-order it in a 2XL in order for it to fit! As for the art work, it is absolutely beautiful! I was proud to say that I was the only person I saw at the Ed Sheeran concert that was wearing that shirt and I got quite a few compliments! They told me in order to get a refund for the first shirt, I could send photographic proof that I had destroyed it, rather than shipping it back. I would've loved to have gotten my $35 refunded but I just couldn't bring myself to cut it up so I now have a shirt I can wear and one that's way too small. I'm sort of bummed about that but I am happy with the design of the shirt!
