Now that I've actually watched the episode to its entirety after several interruption......, this was pretty good. I think KyoAni has finally figured it out how to work the comedy with these wonderful VA cast along with their superb ability to cut/edit to work out the scenes and deliver a good laugh as a result. I enjoyed this episode the most. I've to admit that I didn't think much about this show in the first two episodes. And what do you know, there is actually a story surfacing beneath the silliness. Poor girl, she was outcast to the point where she didn't even have any friends to exchange her phone/address until now. With Yuuta around, she is realizing all those things. This show is also an emphatic example of how to correctly do a theme about (to quote from another forum) "childhood and adolescence" in the format of fun-and-games and still leave plenty of room to deliver the intended story waiting in the back burner. coughlbcough cough cough

I was watching the latest episode then my chest hurts, then my throat starts closing, then I'm sweating all over, then I can't even concentrate or breathe and I'm super dizzy. oh God this episode..
About Kumin, I believe she's deserving of the punishment she's received. I'm agree with Shinka, Kumin should act more like a senpai.
Yuuta's mom is definitely MILF material, grade A+.

amazing episode finally they starting to develop yuuta and rikka relationship and looks like the rebirth of the darkflame master gona happen "soon", it's only me or the designers have a big problem about characters size, sometimes rikka's looks same size of dekomonori sometimes a few bigger, sometimes shinka looks like bigger than yuuta sometimes same sizer and sometimes smaller, even rikka's siste on this episode when cross with yuuta looked at same size of him but in previous episodes she was bigger.

They were able to fit all the chars in this episode, even his dad (indirectly). This episode was pretty awesome in all ways this anime intends to focus on. It just keeps getting better after each episode, it's like magic!

It's been a while since I've really enjoyed an episode focused on helping a character pass a test/exam. This ep. did well, I liked the tricks Yuuta used on Rikka.
Nana-chan is a nice teacher, I would have loved having her as one of mine. (except in some cases...)
Dekomori...I thought she was a fairly smart girl, but didn't see her being at the top of her grade! Shinka seems doomed to never defeat her.
Yuuta's parents = win. Dad cheers from overseas~
Touka + Yumeha scene ~ AHHHHHHH!!!! I want to play real house with Touka-neesan!
A glimpse of the DFM!!!!!! That was legitimately cool. I wish I could get a protocol code bestowed upon me in a stylish manner like that.
Well...can't wait till Yuuta or Rikka confesses to each other now. It will be quite something to behold.

Chu2Koi 05 - It's the Room of the Tyrant's Eye ~It's the Room of a Girl
Aw, no otherworldly elements for me to analyze this week. Though "Banishment, This World!" was bought out for a math test, which was highly amusing in itself. The story of how Rikka got the name for her band was also pretty cute. I think Shinka and Yuuta could serve to learn a lesson from Kumin here. There's a part of everybody that wants to be a hero, a unique person who can wow the world - sure, it's embarrassing on some level, but Sanae was having fun when she was toying around in the pool. The Genesis Effect was beautifully rendered, and seeing Rikka slide behind her in the background was cute.
Shinka still continues to be hilarious, though. She enables much of the comedy, being able to bounce off Rikka, Sanae and Kumin with equal proficiency. I'm sure there's a part of her that's enjoying all this, too. Now that the club is going to stay around, at least, I wonder what's going to happen to them next. I'm just hoping Kumin gets an episode for herself. I'm sure Rikka can delude up something about a plotline involving her going into the world of dreams or somesuch.

after rewatch the episode i noticed who the first clue about what caused rikka chuu-2, was showed, is something about her parents get divorced(based on what showed while rikkas sister playing with yuuta little sister), looks like rikka become "sick" because she see herself alone(parents divorce and her sister go live alone)

I mean look at stuff that Rikka have at her room. No way he sister allow her to buy that. Pretty sure some of them are really expensive. So chance are it actually come from her parent.

that..i agree...in many cases when children are facing a shocking situation that they cannot comprehend or can comprehend but dont want to accept, they chose to escape from reality and do other thing to the the point of excessive to "divert" their attention; basically to help them forget...
that's why in such cases of broken home we see cases of delinquent, some running to drugs, rikka is just choosing the "better" route, indulging in hallucination without the actual use of drugs.
in any case, i suspect the ending of the story will be rikka closing her chuunibyou story or at least reduce it a lot with the help of yuuta as her emotional support as a replacement for her parent so expect a happy ending with maybe a ballsy confession from DARK FLAME MASTER that equal to fake confession from houtaro

Simply KICK-ASS chapter. 11/10
Perfect, just that, since the Haruhi movie, that I don't enjoy so much a chapter from Kyoani, even considering Nichijou or Hyouka.
I always felt that Ishihara knows perfectly how to develop the emotional scenes, how to construct the environment to make it works superbly. That "contrast" between the vain comedy and drama, the way he handles the "times" of the development of the characters, their interactions and messages between lines.
Nostalgically good directed, gave a lot of "Clannad/Kanon/Air" vibes. By far, what I thank them the most, is that "animation" & "direction" concepts works together in order to reach that hard pedestal of make the audience feel empathy with character feelings. They don't travel in their own rail as commonly see it.
Keep it up! And Chu2byo will probably be one of those memorables series.
pd: Sry if my english is weird.

I gave this episode a 9. I thought it was the best one yet. I loved the chemistry between Rikka and Yuuta. More importantly, it gave me what I've been looking for-- a brief glimpse as Rikka without the persona, as a normal girl. Now I can rest easy that she's not totally insane. :P
And that smile at the end. Hnnnnnngh!
It did lose a point due to Dekomori. I just can't stand her character.
My own theory on Rikka is that her parents possibly died, which is why she lives with her sister. The "Horizon" she's looking for is the afterlife, where she can find them again. Though something like neglect or divorce is possible, as well. She could just come from a rich family that doesn't really care about her and just bought that stuff to shut her up.

Okay folks,
I have a building that I am looking at that has a York control system (circa 1999).
There are new people taking over the building and all I was able to find was the main supervisory controller, the front end and the UDC's on the package units. There are VAV's all over the building and they will be relocating these and would like to reuse them if possible.
Is there anything we can do with this system? BACnet or some other interface? Can we get into the controllers via the front end for air balancing?
What are our options?

The steaks were sizzling at the Byzantine Center on Shady Run Road Saturday for the third annual Steak Fry to help the Saint Vincent de Paul Society in Youngstown.
The steak fry is one of two main fundraisers the society holds every year to help support the soup kitchen and food pantry.
St. Vincent de Paul runs primarily on private donations.
A team of volunteers helped cook the steaks for the crowd of more than 400 people, but feeding people is nothing new for these folks.
"Our soup kitchen last year served 105,000 meals. Our food pantry served 3,200 food boxes, which served another 13,000 people," said Brian Antal, President, St. Vincent de Paul Society.
Antal said they expect the need to grow at the soup kitchen and food pantry when many Ohioans see a reduction in their food stamps starting in November.


text: The design approach for the spa and salon was to bring the laid back aesthetic of the Provence region of France to the space. A brass ceiling feature was incorporated that is reminiscent of a vine covered pergola. The salon space is along the large window facing the street to allow for optimal light and to showcase the work of the stylists. Three linear wood floor planks help to bring our eyes to the display shelf in the back. In the entrance there is a small waiting area and to the left you have a coat room and the entrance to the sps space through a curved corridor with a gold tinted plaster wall finish.

Lemon and Cucumber cooler
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: The summer heat is terrible than ever this year so I make it a point to keep a bottle of lemonade in the fridge at all times. What better way to beat the heat than lemonade; right? Well, I found a better way! My lemon and Cucumber cooler with a slight hint of ginger! It is so refreshing and delicious it will brighten up your day! —Sana Sayyed
Makes 4 glasses
- 2 lemons (juice)
- 1 cucumber (peeled and finely grated)
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger (finely grated)
- 5 tablespoons sugar (you may need less depending on your taste)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 cup ice
- 3 glasses of water
- In a pitcher grate the cucumber and ginger.
- Squeeze the juice from the lemon into the cucumber, add the sugar and salt to it.
- Add water and stir well, till the sugar has completely dissolved in the water.
- Place 4-5 ice cubes in each glass along with a cucumber stick and a slice of lemon, pour in the juice. Enjoy:)
- Tips: Lemon water is an excellent antioxidant and a great source of vitamin c and also minerals like magnesium, potassium and phosphorus; hence it makes for one of the best drinks to beat the summer heat. You may use soda instead of water if you want to have a fizzy drink.

Asdrubal Cabrera strains his back, and, no "Asdrubal Strains Back" is not a sequel to a sci-fi porn movie. At this time of the year, any little thing can knock people for the remainder of the year. To help you picture what I'm saying, imagine this is April and we're talking about Morneau. That's how easily players can get knocked out. This injury comes on a day where Asdrubal hit his 24th homer. Even if Da 'drubal doesn't return, he gave you everything he had this year. Drubal took '11 to 11. For next year, I'm pretty sure he's going to be a tad overrated. He never hit more than 10 homers in any professional. He's been consistent with power this year from month to month, but his HR/FB% soared away above anywhere it had ever been before. He should still be able to get around 15 homers next year, but if you get a 15/15 season, you're suddenly wondering if a sure-to-be-underrated Jimmy Rollins isn't a safer way to go. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Billy Butler – Missed yesterday's game with the flu. Someone dump a Gatorade cooler of chicken soup over Butler's head.
Yunel Escobar – To the DL with an elbow injury. Bobby Cox just wishes he injured it on Kelly Johnson's face.
Brett Cecil – 3 IP, 4 ER which was followed by Kyle Drabek's 2 IP, 6 ER as unrealized potential met yet-to-be-unrealized potential.
Doug Fister – Will be pitching in relief of Scherzer on Wednesday rather than starting as the Tigers get ready for the playoffs. If Fister is the relief, I don't even want to know what Scherzer translates to.
Randall Delgado – 5 IP, 0 ER, 7 baserunners, 1 K. Freakin' Braves with all the sexy young pitching, huh? Freakin' Braves. I love them. Beachy, Minor, Delgado, Vizcaino, all of them. Now I know how Bill James feels when looking at Chris Davis. Shoot that poisoned arrow through my heart, Braves pitching staff minus Jurrjens, Lowe and anyone else I'm forgetting that I don't like!
Alex Gonzalez – 2-for-3 with his 15th homer, then left with a foot injury. Comes a bad time because he was putting the coals in the fire, which isn't an expression but should be.
Jason Heyward – 1-for-3 with a steal. 5 for his last 10 with a homer while batting in the 8 hole. Maybe he just needed to be in the 8 hole to be comfortable, or maybe he's just really too good to be batting in the 8 hole. Hmm, wonder which one it is.
Pablo Sandoval – Hasn't been able to bat right-handed because of a shoulder injury and might have offseason surgery to correct the issue. Or that's a cover for Lap-Band.
Ben Zobrist – Returns to the lineup on Wednesday after taking time off for the birth of his daughter. No word on how many positions Mrs. Zobrist utilized for the birth, but – based on her profession – I'm guessing missionary on the conception.
Wade Davis – 4 2/3 IP, 5 ER. Too bad he doesn't play for the Jays, he could've relieved Drabek with his potentially-yet-to-be-unrealized-potential-that-might-not-be-potential-anymore potential.
Manny Ramirez – It's being reported he's going to play in the Dominican Winter League. He's hoping to meet up with Miguel Tejada down there to reminisce about the salad days of the 90s. Maybe even start up a band, Man-Ram and the B-12 with their lead single, "Just Give Me A Shot (Of Your Sweet Sweet Estrogen Therapy)."
Adam Dunn – 2-for-6 as he doubled his season hit total. No, wait, he doubled twice. Sorry, honest mistake.
Dylan Axelford – 4 2/3 IP, 4 ER, 11 baserunners, 3 Ks. He was coming off a decent start vs. the Tigers but you shouldn't have went anywhere near him for this start. Though I can understand how you could get seduced by his conglomeration of cool names.
Bud Norris – Left his start with a sore shoulder. He's done for the year. Or as they say in Spanish 'ano completo.'
Kyle Blanks – Left the game with a right quad strain. Seventeen men helped him off the field.
Jason Kipnis – 2-for-4 with a steal in the first game, and didn't start the 2nd game. He should've though because he's seeing the ball well. He's hit in every game he's started but three since August 1st. (Sure, he's missed about 20 games in there, but whatevs.)
Alex Liddi – His 2nd game in a row with a homer. In broken English, he told reporters, "I drink your pizza! I drink it up!"
Tom Milone – 6 IP, 0 ER, 4 baserunners, 2 Ks. Second start solid start for Milone. He looks to be in the Slowey mold back before Slowey got screws put in his wrist and then put the screws to his fantasy owners. Once upon a midnight dweawy, Slowey pondewed weak and weawy what could've been. I still wouldn't trust Milone if he gets one more start, but he's now on the radar for deeper leagues in Twenty-Twelve. Or as I'm gonna call it twelve past twenty.
Ross Detwiler – 7 1/3 IP, 0 ER, 4 baserunners, 3 Ks. Phils are in serious coast mode.
Danny Espinosa – 3-for-4 with his 20th homer. You're probably thinking to yourself, I don't have the profiteroles to go with the cannoli to like Espinosa again next year. You, sir, don't know my pastry prowess.
Erik Bedard – 2 2/3 IP, 1 ER (3 unearned). Of course the Sawx want to get to the playoffs, but has anyone seen their last four starters? Wakefield, Weiland, Lackey, Bedard… So, they gonna pitch Lester and Beckett on one day rest throughout the playoffs?
Clay Buchholz – Threw a simulated game. Unfortunately, he gave up 7 runs, but the 1976 Cincinnati Reds are a tough Strat-o-Matic matchup. Damn you, George Foster!

It was a May night in New York, the first time Randy Johnson took the mound for the Mariners. He'd been labeled as wild, giving up 26 walks in 26 innings in Montreal, his first big-league home.
"A lot of people, not only in Seattle but all over, were anxious to see what the Mariners got for Mark Langston," he told the P-I that night in 1989.
What they and the 6-foot-10 left-hander got was a 3-2 win against the Yankees.
The game also was the first game in which 19-year-old Ken Griffey Jr. hit two home runs.
"I was surprised to get two homers," Griffey told P-I reporter Jim Street after the game. "Usually when I get one, I struggle the rest of the game."
When Johnson started with the Expos, he believed he'd be among the top pitchers on the Expos staff.
But Johnson, Brian Holman and Gene Harris were dealt to the Mariners for Mark Langston, a local fan favorite who had a highlight night in his first outing with the Expos.
Some fans were skeptical at first of the Big Unit.
But manager Jim Lefebvre praised Johnson that May night for his poise. And he made a prediction about Griffey.
"You're seeing the rise of a superstar," he said. "Nineteen years old. What can I say? He's going to bring a lot of excitement to this team and the league."

Tao Te Ching 20
Cease learning, no more worries
Respectful response and scornful response
How much is the difference?
Goodness and evil
How much do they differ?
What the people fear, I cannot be unafraid
So desolate! How limitless it is!
The people are excited
As if enjoying a great feast
As if climbing up to the terrace in spring
I alone am quiet and uninvolved
Like an infant not yet smiling
So weary, like having no place to return
The people all have surplus
While I alone seem lacking
I have the heart of a fool indeed – so ignorant!
Ordinary people are bright
I alone am muddled
Ordinary people are scrutinizing
I alone am obtuse
Such tranquility, like the ocean
Such high wind, as if without limits
The people all have goals
And I alone am stubborn and lowly
I alone am different from them
And value the nourishing mother

It's unlikely that Qt plays a big role here, as the point of Dalvik is that it comes with its own GUI toolkit. Probably, Qt was just a suitable windowing system to target, because it makes the whole thing portable. So if you don't have or want Qt, it's probably quite doable to port it to a different graphics/windowing system.
qt probably *plays* a big role. qt targets different paint engines on different platforms (x11 on *nix, CoreGraphics on osx, opengl es for embedded or it's own raster engine for any other situation). that's *one* of the things which makes qt great for cross-platform development.
programming virtual machines can be done with idea to run it in hosting environment (e.g. javascript, lua and even python) or to run it independent from any hosting environment. dalvik vm is done to be the only virtual machine running on top of hardware (using linux kernel just for communication with hardware). java vm tries to run in parallel with the rest of the system. alien dalvik obviously like java vm is designed to run in parallel with other vms or on top of them.
making vm to be easy to integrate with many systems is quite hard. that's why qt is/was great choice for alien dalvik. besides targeting different graphic's systems qt provides unique api for many other subsystems: networking, multithreading, multimedia, interobject/process communication etc.
qt is not perfect. but besides mono (which is heavily leaning on .net) this is the *only* really cross-platform development atm. and it is lgpl.
qt (without nokia fucking it up with ms deal) could repeat the history of superior os/2 which could run native windows application even better then windows itself. providing that kind of solution you usually convince lazy devs to go just with native android or in the past windows applications.

Five Below Soars on Teen Shopping Craze Post Zany BrainyLindsey Rupp
Five Below Inc. founders David Schlessinger and Thomas Vellios have so far learned to avoid the pitfalls that undid their last business -- the bankrupt Zany Brainy toy company. Still, the real test lies ahead.
The duo are expanding the chain that sells teens discounted items from tie-dyed T-shirts to bedazzled iPhone cases at a breakneck pace, with a 72 percent increase in its store base helping more than double sales in the past two years.
Zany Brainy, which sold children's toys and games, took off on a similar trajectory before flaming out when an acquisition and losses on an Internet investment hurt it just as the U.S. was heading into the 2001 recession. Now, Five Below's shares have more than doubled since their July initial offering on prospects that the retailer's growth is just beginning, while analysts say its rich price-to-earnings multiple -- the highest among its peers -- leaves the company little room for error.
"They can't have supply chain issues, and they can't have inventory issues at this kind of multiple -- and all those things are really worrisome when you're growing this fast because you outgrow your infrastructure," Jan Kniffen, chief executive officer of J. Rogers Kniffen Worldwide Enterprises, a retail consulting and equity-research firm in New York, said in a telephone interview. "It's a $2 billion company that trades like Amazon."
Shares of Philadelphia-based Five Below closed June 7 at about 49 times its estimated earnings for the next 12 months, higher than any other retailer in the Russell 2000 Index other than Office Depot Inc., which is in the midst of a merger, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Amazon.com Inc. closed at about 70 times estimated earnings on that basis.
Five Below rose 2.5 percent to $37.13 at the close in New York today.
Zany Brainy
Schlessinger, Five Below's chairman, founded Zany Brainy in 1991, and Vellios joined the company in 1995 before becoming CEO in September 2000. The company went public in June 1999, purchased rival Noodle Kidoodle a little more than a year later and lost about $9 million on an Internet retail investment.
In May 2001, Zany Brainy filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, listing $131 million of debt and $201 million of assets. It was acquired in September of that year by Right Start Inc., which bought FAO Schwarz and changed its name to FAO Inc. Zany Brainy was shuttered in 2003, when FAO filed for bankruptcy.
Vellios in a May 2001 press release blamed the company's bankruptcy on its "rapid growth," which included opening 27 new Zany Brainy stores and acquiring the 60 Noodle Kidoodle shops. He also cited declining sales in the absence of a "hot" product in a slow retail environment.
Five Below
After Zany Brainy's collapse, Schlessinger and Vellios founded Cheap Holdings Inc. in January 2002 and later changed the name to Five Below, a nod to its prices of $5 or less, with its first store in Philadelphia.
The company, led by Schlessinger as chairman and Vellios again as CEO, expanded throughout the eastern U.S. and is now branching into the Midwest and the South. Five Below added 52 stores last year to bring its total to 244 as of Feb. 2, up from 142 two years ago, and plans to open 60 more this year. The store base will expand at least 20 percent annually for the next five years, Vellios said on a conference call in September. Five Below said in a March filing that it could grow to more than 2,000 stores "over time."
The executives declined to comment through Denise DiMeglio, a Five Below spokeswoman who works for Gregory FCA Communications.
Generating Attention
Five Below stores are usually small, located in strip malls and opened in clusters in the same region at once, helping generate attention. The locations each stock more than 4,000 items, according to company filings.
Five Below has no direct competition for its concept, Kniffen said. While Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Target Corp., major dollar retailers and Claire's Stores Inc. all carry some of the same products, Five Below is the only one with its particular assortment of items in one place.
The strategy so far is working. Sales rose to $418.8 million in the year ended Feb. 2, more than double the $197.2 million from two years earlier. Net income last year rose 25 percent from a year earlier to $20 million. Through Friday, the shares had advanced 13 percent, compared with a 15 percent rise for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. The retailer is scheduled to report first-quarter earnings June 12.
The company's total debt was 73 percent of its $47.3 million in trailing 12-month earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, less than half the 1.8 times average for consumer discretionary companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
Analyst Caution
Analysts, however, are cautious. Of the 14 analysts that cover Five Below, 36 percent recommend buying it. That gives the company a consensus analyst rating of 3.57, on a scale in which five is a unanimous buy and one is a unanimous sell. The average for the Russell 2000 is 3.76.
Five Below risks competition from major retailers as well as the potential for an imitator, Matt Nemer, a San Francisco-based analyst with Wells Fargo & Co., said in a phone interview. While Five Below's rapid expansion may help it deter potential competitors, slowing its store growth to 15 percent from 20 percent would allow it to focus more on selecting the right locations and hiring qualified staff, said Nemer, who rates the shares hold.
Another potential weakness is that Five Below doesn't carry consumer staples. That leaves it vulnerable to the rapidly changing tastes of its teen and preteen customers, said Patrick McKeever, managing director for MKM Partners LLC in Stamford, Connecticut.
Popular Merchandise
"They really have to properly identify what's popular and what's going to be popular with teens -- if they make some bad merchandising decision that could hurt the business," McKeever said in a telephone interview. He has the equivalent of a hold rating on the stock and cites its high valuation as one reason he doesn't recommend buying the shares.
Still, those risks aren't as great as the ones that undid Zany Brainy, Wells Fargo's Nemer said. Five Below has a simpler model to execute than Zany Brainy with small stores, flexible merchandise and few regionalized products, Nemer said.
"It was a great learning experience," he said, "but it's a very different concept."

yes, I saw this! I had received an email that they were 5 for $5.00 and I could use a promo for 20% off and FREE SHIPPING. When I went to order online, they would only allow me to buy a max of 25 in one scent. I needed 80 in my colors to put 2 in each bag: 40 Green (Island Margarita) & 40 Blue (Dancing Waters). So before placing my order I went to my local store and they honored the 20% off so I got all 80 for .80 a piece...a little more than I wanted to pay...I mean I could have got 2 for 1 basic brand stuff at the Dollar Tree, but these are nicer and in my colors! What we do to make things pretty!
The woman at the store indicated the shelf life on these is at least 3 years so I went ahead and purchased even though my wedding is not until next April 2013.
Keep an eye out or join their email list - they are always sending me email specials!!!
Blissfully married since April 2, 2013.

FOR more than a decade African governments have rolled out the red carpet for Chinese investors, trading oil, coal, iron ore and other resources for badly needed ports, roads and railways.
But policymakers and executives, worried the flood of cheap Chinese imports is sapping Africa's own manufacturing potential, say the continent must drive harder bargains with China.
The time has come, some say, to jettison the view of Beijing as Africa's benevolent partner, bound by a common resistance to the meddling West.
"The sad reality is that they are not comrades. Their companies are there to make profits like everyone else," Zimbabwean Finance Minister Tendai Biti told the Reuters Africa Investment Summit this week.
"The African textile industry has basically collapsed because of cheap Chinese imports ... Africa needs China but let's create an equitable relationship."
China's trade with Africa has surged from about $10 billion in 2000 to $166 billion in 2011, with much of that an exchange of African minerals for Chinese manufactured goods.
Nigerian Central Bank Governor Lamido Sanusi warned last month it was time for Africans to wake up to the realities of their relationship with China.
"It is a significant contributor to Africa's deindustrialization and underdevelopment," he said in an opinion piece in the Financial Times that ruffled feathers in Beijing.
Even in South Africa, the continent's largest and most developed economy, manufacturing accounts for just 15 percent of GDP. It is even lower elsewhere, under 11 percent in Kenya and 10 percent in Nigeria.
Part of the fault may lie with African policymakers, for not demanding enough from their Chinese counterparts at the bargaining table.
"If you allow the Chinese to come and rape you and take whatever they do because you're just looking at the money they bring, and if you're looking on a short-term basis, the country will suffer, there's no two ways about it," said Sipho Nkosi, CEO of South African mining company Exxaro Resources.
Africa must demand that China transfer skills and technology to the continent instead of allowing it to simply export raw materials, he said.
For some African politicians, part of China's attraction lies in its unwillingness to criticize local governments over human rights or corruption, unlike the West.
"You can't blame the donor only. You need to blame the receiving government as well," said Elias Masilela, the chief executive of South Africa's government pension fund.
African governments also needed to do more to put in place the infrastructure - including power and transport - that can support a domestic manufacturing industry, speakers said.
Sensitive to the criticism, China has been careful to frame its role in Africa as one that is mutually beneficial.
"Africa had a long colonial history and should know the nature of colonialism," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said last month in response to Sanusi's comments.
"Comparing China-Africa cooperation to the old colonial Western powers lacks any sense of logic."
Beijing has also responded with a charm offensive to ease concerns about its role on the world's poorest continent, including lobbying for South Africa's addition to the group of developing countries now called BRICS.
While Xi outlined his Africa policy as a partnership among equals, China clearly holds the cash: it is offering $20 billion of loans to the continent between 2013 and 2015.
China's strength in low-cost, large-volume manufacturing has also helped some local industries, most notably telecoms, where handsets and equipment from the likes of Huawei and ZTE have made mobile phones affordable for millions of Africans.
"It probably has been more beneficial if one looks at it from our industry," said Sifiso Dabengwa, chief executive of South African telecommunications company MTN Group, told the Summit.

Alhaji Lamidi Adedibu is someone I have known from my elementary school days. My elementary school, St John's Anglican School is directly opposite his former house in Molete, Ibadan. The old man has remained the same person I have known since 1973 when I was in 3rd grade. I can say so, because I began to piece a lot of events together correctly from then. I knew him then as the leader of Area Boys (National Union of Road Transport Workers). Then, we are used to seeing touts, making noise and fighting on my school's street. Adedibu was also known for land racketeering. Besides the Area boys coordination, land racketeering was his major occupation. Selling one piece of land to more than five people, thereby causing chaos and getting away with it since he has the Area boys to intimidate his buyers.
By 1979 when General Olusegun Obasanjo lifted ban on partisan politics, with the formation of the National Party of Nigeria (NPN), Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN), Nigeria People's Party (NPP) People's Redemption Party(PRP) and the Great Nigeria People's party (GNPP), Lamidi Adedibu joined the NPN with Pa Adisa Akinloye as National Chairman, Chief Richard Akinjide (My baba back home. I met chief Akinjide in 1999 and our relationship grew so rapidly until we lost touch in 2002, but I must say that I gained a lot from the old man. This is for another day. I save that for my forthcoming book-Owners of Nigeria). Adedibu was the coordinator of the NPN militant group. He was not really a bigwig in the party but a political thug used by the party leadership then.
As a young boy, I still remember the role he played in attacking members of the UPN, he was actually leading most of the attacks and he got away with it, because the ruling party was in control of the Police.
Adedibu then graduated from the political thug level to political bigwig after the ouster of Shagari's government by the Buhari-led military junta in a military coup in December 1983. Chiefs Akinloye and Akinjide were in exile then and Adedibu automatically assumed the dual position of Political thug and bigwig. He makes anything possible for anybody as long as they pay the price. I will rather say that he assumed the role of a political jobber. To-date the Septuagenarian does not have any known job that brings him income except politics.
In the General Ibrahim Babangida transition-to-nothing program, Adedibu played very prominent role; particularly in delivering the south west to the late Major-General Shehu Yar'Adua. Yar'Adua contested the Presidential Primary election as a member of the Babangida formed Political Party-Social Democratic Party (SDP); he surprisingly defeated Yoruba candidates- Chief Olu Falae, Alhaji Lateef Jakande and Otunba Olabiyi Durojaiye. The Primary elections was adjudged unfair and was canceled by Babangida. After the disqualification of Yar'Adua, Adedibu switched to Late M.K.O Abiola until the annulment of the 1993 presidential elections. He made it possible for Kolapo Ishola to become the governor of Oyo State. He went out to kill a very serious medical report that would have marred Ishola ambition and that was what gave the then Secretary to the Government the job as a medical doctor.
Adedibu, as the king maker became the connection any contractor needed in Oyo State to get contract. He was actually in charge of the Oyo State government while Kolapo Ishola was reduced to rubber stamp governor. And after the sacking of the government by late General Sani Abacha, Adedibu with Alhaji Azeez Arisekola became Abacha's marabouts' recruiters. I remember one incident that happened under Abacha, when some students of the University of Ibadan went to him for money to organize pro-Abacha rally, Adedibu responded thus: "Eyin omo yi, e le tan mi, e fe gbowo pro, ke lo mafi se anti." Meaning "You boys can not deceive me; you want to use my money to organize anti-Abacha rally." He became so influential during Abacha era that he does whatever he likes, says anything and gets away with it.
Sources still believe that he has hands in the assassination of late Alhaja Sulia Adedeji, though this has not been proved but the information I have remain sketchy. He lost favor with Abacha just after his house and that of his wife were razed in May 1998 after he had escaped death at the Adamasingba Stadium, Ibadan, where he was rescued by the crew of African Independent Television (AIT) in their van. Abacha compensated him and Arisekola for the loss they suffered from the razing of their property. Arisekola's Office in Ring road was razed, his gas station at Idi-Ape was torched, and he narrowly escaped attack. Adedibu's house was torched too; his wife's house at Ososami, Ibadan was razed. But Arisekola did not remit what he was to give to Adedibu as part of the 100 Million Naira Abacha gave them as compensation.
Since he has no known job but political jobbing, he sold the information that led to the death of Abacha to the landlord of Minna Hilltop.
He tried to align with the Alliance for Democracy but he was rejected in 1998, he went to All People's Party and eventually ended up with the People's Democratic Party. Because of his role in the Abacha's ignoble government, he was not able to pull any string in the 1998 transition program, but he came back in 2003 to do what he knows best.
He forced Rasheed Ladoja an apolitical governorship candidate on the people and ensured that he became the governor of Oyo State. Two factors helped Adedibu to achieve this feat in the 2003 elections. The people of Oyo State had no choice because Alhaji Lam Adesina who won the 1999 election against Alhaji Yekini Adeojo had the backings of late Chief Bola Ige, but he did not perform for 4 years. His performance was for his own immediate family development and upliftment from poverty level. His children were transferred from their schools in Nigeria to schools outside the country.
The failure of the ruling Alliance for Democracy in terms of good governance and to provide a more credible candidate left the Oyo people with no other choice than to vote for Ladoja, Adedibu's political son. One of the candidates from Alliance for Democracy, Senator Lekan Balogun left the party to join People's Democratic Party (PDP) and he lost the primary election to Ladoja.
It is insultive to found the lives of well meaning Oyo State people being determined by one man who has devoted his life to living on the people without regard for the smooth running of the state. Adedibu is now asking for a murder suspect to be released from detention and retractions of interviews granted against him. It is funny that a State governor with full executive powers could be reduced to nothingness and one common citizen of the state will take laws into his hands and hold the whole state hostage. Whether Ladoja rigged the 2003 election or not, he has been sworn in as the Executive governor of the state and the power to govern resides in him.
It is now becoming so clear that members of House of Assembly are now used as pawns in these dirty games. They have abandoned their role of law making to using impeachments as weapons to negotiate for goodies. It shows clearly that Ladoja knows too much about marine business than politics, if he knew well, he would have had his boys at the House of Assembly. He failed to learn from what led to Chief M.K.O Abiola's loss of the 1993 mandate.
After he won the ticket of the SDP at the Jos convention, Chief Abiola did not bother to consolidate his victory by ensuring that he controlled the National Executive Council of the Party. Rather, he allowed the late Yar'Adua to put his men at the helm of affairs of the party. Tony Anenih, a Yar'Adua man became the party chairman, and that was why it was easy for the SDP National Executive Council to accept the Interim government arrangement and ditch the 1993 election victory of its candidate. Abiola was expected to pick Alhaji Abubarka Atiku as his running mate for the presidential election but he instead, picked Ambassador Baba Gana Kingibe. This did not go down well with Yar'Adua. The result was that though Abiola won the election, he never got to the office.
To make the case worst, president Obasanjo claimed that Adedibu is a force to reckon with in Oyo state. This statement credited to him was very unfortunate but Nigerians should know that president Obasanjo does not care if you are not in his camp as he knew the role Adedibu played in the rigging of the 2003 elections for him in Oyo State.
How long can this go? No one knows, the people hold the right to say to no to all these nonsense. This is a sign that the 2007 elections would be bloody and events in this year will not be that easy. We should expect more. What we have been seeing have been intra-party crisis. The ruling Peoples Democratic Party has been fighting against itself.
The president and his Vice are at war, in Ogun State, Gbenga Daniel is at war not with opposition, but with his own party members over second term bid, Oyinlola of Osun state has Omisore (Bola Ige murder suspect) as his problem against 2007. The Ekiti state case is also there. It is a good sign that the Peoples Democratic Party is not a party designed at managing success, especially a stolen one. It is party filled with strange bed-fellows. People with just one agenda, looting, stealing and lack of good sense of leadership.
It is clear that this government has lost control; it is totally off the hook. We have a president who is biased, taking sides in disputes, making provocative statements and seems to be concerned with just one thing, making Nigerian ungovernable after he left in 2007. We have seen the crisis in Anambra state and the role president Obasanjo played in it, the impeachment of Alamieyeseigha and now the Marwa case with Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC).
One thing is sure and that is the fact that we do not have any political party in Nigeria as of now. Nigeria is in a state of anarchy. We have people in power though through various political parties, but using their own agenda to rule because they have broken away from their source. The sources of their mandate have been destroyed. I will not be surprised, therefore if we begin to see alliance of looters later this year.
It is strange to see Obasanjo taking over the leadership of the party he never helped founded. If I can recollect, the PDP was formed without Obasanjo, he joined like other members did, but was invited by some elements who hijacked the party from the founding fathers. So Solomon Lar, Sunday Awoniyi and others became sacrificial lambs for some people's selfish political gains. Now a mercenary invited to use the platform of the party for election has driven the landlords away, evicted them from their own house and took over the house. I do not know where the presidential candidate of a party takes charge and pushes aside the National Chairman of the party. But since Ahmadu Ali was a former Federal Commissioner for Education under Obasanjo in 1976-1979, we may as well assume that this is a continuation of that era. Ali's in 1978 addressed the nation after the 1978 "Ali Must Go " protest and announced the banning of the National Union of Nigerian Students (NUNS), a union he was once its Secretary. Or do we want to talk about Ojo Maduekwe, former Abacha campaigner, who is now Obasanjo campaigner?
I remember Maduekwe when he was first appointed as Obasanjo's Culture and Tourism minister in 1999. He was honored in his hometown with a chieftaincy title and he approached George Eneh, the Managing Director of Nigerian Maritime Authority (NMA) for favor as he was broke. In December 1999, Eneh awarded a contract to Maduekwe's company 'Numero Uno Enterprises' to supply Five Alive Orange juice, Ragolis water, tyres, and beverages to the NMA for 3.6 Million Naira. According to my source, Maduekwe spent 600,000 Naira to supply the goods and made a profit of 3 million Naira. I confirmed from the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and discovered that Numero Uno was personally owned by Ojo Maduekwe. He is infact, a long time contractor of the NMA. Now he is the General Secretary of PDP.
The latest news on the Marwa link with Abacha's loot is not exciting at all, even if Marwa denies that a few of us know that he actually benefited not only from Abacha, but also from Babangida. Marwa shot himself in the leg by coming out to contest election. There is no doubt that Marwa is not clean, not at all. The crisis between Governor Tinubu and his former Deputy Kofoworola Buknor was caused by the contract Marwa awarded to Buknor at the eve of Tinubu's take over in Lagos State. Marwa did not and has never denied his close association with Abacha family. This almost got him in trouble with General Ishaya Bamaiyi who saw Marwa as his threat then. Marwa then used the Source Magazine as a weapon to fight Bamaiyi in association with Brig-Gen Ibrahim Sabo (rtd) (former Director of Military Intelligence under Abacha). Source magazine his owned by Marwa's former sister-in-law. Marwa's former wife Zainab is a sister to Comfort Obi the publisher of Source Magazine a former defense reporter with The Sunday Magazine (TSM). But Marwa left the United States in July or August 1996 to become the governor of Lagos, replacing Olagunsoye Oyinlola, who is now the Osun State government. Why did Marwa have to leave the Defense Attaché job in New York to become a military governor in Lagos State? Let us leave that for now.
The point is we have only been hearing about loot recovered from Abacha, what about Babangida? IS Abacha the only one that has looted the treasury in Nigeria? Marwa should refund whatever he has taken but this should not be politically motivated. It is a pity that the EFCC boss and his team have been reduced to political instruments used at haunting those Obasanjo does not want to see in government in 2007. While Marwa should be investigated, one can give reasons for his recent ordeal. Why is he being haunted? What role did he play here in the US during the Abacha era and why did he leave US in 1996? Who is the beneficiary of this?
Happy New Year!!!

Books books and more books
I have severe organization problems. ;)
I have been trying to get rid of stuff and have managed several garbage bags full.
One problem I can't seem to tackle is my kids books. It some how doesn't feel right getting rid of any. Most of them are actually books from my childhood that my Mom passed on to us.
There are so many they are all over the house!
Re: Books books and more books
Choose favorites. The really common ones, like Eric Carle and Dr Seuss, can easily be found at the library, so get rid of them. Books are a hard one. If I could, I would have my own library.
Re: Books books and more books
I would convert a closet into a mini library. Books are a weakness of mine, so I am little help.
Well this is not the answer I thought I would get here :giggle: I don't feel so bad about not being able to part with them now.
90% of them are hand me downs and not replaceable/common. They are books from the early 80s for the most part.
We own a few Eric Carle book that we actually just bought because my newly 3 yo wants to read them 20 times a day :)
I need a way to organize them though. Most are thin paperbacks so you can't see the title without taking the whole book out.
Re: Books books and more books
Books are a weakness of mine as well. It's easier to get rid of my own books but I loved books as a kid and read everything in the house. It's one thing I'd rather have too many of. Well, that and purses. ;)
I know that's not very helpful or very minimalist. I've purged some kids' books, though. Get rid of anything that's in rough shape, that is "outgrown," that you just plain don't like (or doesn't fall in with your family's values), etc. Of those, if there's anything sentimental then store it away with other keepsakes.
If you're still in the early stages of purging, I would focus your energy on bigger things. Although I would definitely also make sure that you at least organize the books that you do have, and make sure your kids are putting them back when they are done. My kids are still young, but my son (2 years old) is able to put his books back.
Re: Books books and more books
Re: Books books and more books
I had a hard time with this too, but after we purged, I didn't regret it. My kids read more now, because they aren't overwhelmed with so many choice. Before, I'd end up with pile of books on the floor because they'd pick one up and throw it down, or read a page or two and throw it don....it was just too much choice. Now they have few enough to focus. (To make this even easier on them, we pick 1-2 books every day for each of them to have out and replace yesterdays choices. They also have about 3 seasonal (per season) books out at all times).
I just counted and our total comes to 20 books (plus seasonal that are stored away). To be fair, 3 of them are compilations. (dr. suess, grimms complete works, and shel silverstein). This seems to be the perfect amount for us!
(on a side note, I also find that when my toddler rips books, I can tape it up and keep it good as new, instead of become daunted by so many books and random pages ripped out that I ended up throwing them all out. But that may not be a common problem....I just have an awful book destroyer over here.)
Re: Books books and more books
I've worked on books too. At any given time, we usually have less than 2 feet of shelf space of books. We always have more in the closet, but each time I go to swap out, I find books that had been stored for 2 months that I don't care for anymore. Like PPs said, get rid of books that you don't like reading. I've purged almost all the books with Disney and tv characters, most of the dollar store books that are poorly worded, anything with poor cartoonish illustrations. I always ask if this is something I want my kids to spend time learning. I've been wanting to do rain gutter book shelves too. The other things you could do is get magazine holders/rack for the walls or free-standing, so they can see and flip through books, like this
Or magazine organizers that slide out on shelves, and organize the books by author, category, etc.

Professor Emerita Lavine Wins Philosophy Award
Posted: April 13, 2000 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
Thelma Z. Lavine, Professor Emerita of Philosophy and American Culture, won the Herbert W. Schneider Award for "distinguished contributions to the understanding and development of American philosophy." The award was presented by Beth Singer at the annual meeting of the Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy, of which Lavine is a founding member and past president (1992-94).
Lavine's interests range across philosophy, psychology, history, and literature. She retired from teaching in 1998, after 12 years at George Mason University. Before coming to George Mason as one of the university's first Robinson Professors, Lavine was Elton Professor and chair of the Department of Philosophy at George Washington University, where she won the Outstanding Professor Award. She also has taught at the University of Maryland, where she received the Outstanding Faculty Member Award; Brooklyn College, where she was honored as the Highest Ranked Faculty Member by student evaluation; and Wells College.
Perhaps one of Lavine's best-known projects is her television series for college credit, From Socrates to Sartre: A Historical Introduction to Philosophy. Written and presented by Lavine, the series includes 30 lectures on philosophy that have aired since 1979 on PBS, cable, and university television stations nationwide. In addition, her many articles and papers have appeared in such publications as American Behavioral Scientist and the Journal of Philosophy. She wrote the book From Socrates to Sartre: The Philosophic Quest (Bantam Books), which has been translated into Japanese, as well as an introduction included in volume 16 of Collected Works of John Dewey (Southern Illinois University Press).

ROTARIANS came to the rescue of Isle residents earlier this month when snowfall led to the cancellation of an event.
Sunday February 5 could have been a day of disappointment for the elderly residents of Epworth, had it not been for the spirit and determination of a small group of Rotarians.
An overnight fall of several inches of snow meant that the annual Rotary film show and tea party had to be cancelled.
A spokesman said: "Determined not to let enough sandwiches and cakes for eighty-nine party guests go to waste, the Rotarians delivered plates of food to over 40 homes around the Isle, both on foot and in 4x4 vehicles.
"Julie Ingelbrecht, whose home was used as headquarters, said that the recipients couldn't believe it when their food arrived."
