Senate Passes Public Safety Legislation
Bills Come On The Heels of Boston Bombings & Foiled Terrorist Train Attack
With renewed calls for vigilance and increased public safety following the tragic bombings in Boston and the foiling of a terrorist plot to attack a train traveling across the state between New York and Toronto, the New York State Senate today passed a package of anti-crime legislation including a bill that would require convicted terrorists to serve their full prison sentence.
"The events in Boston were tragic and just today we are learning more about a terrorist plot to attack a train going from Canada, through Western New York, down to New York City," Senate Republican Conference Leader Dean G. Skelos said. "We must do everything we can to support law enforcement and ensure that our laws are as strong as possible to deter terrorists and others who threaten the safety of New Yorkers. I urge the Assembly to act on these important public safety bills before the end of this session."
Full Prison Time for Terrorists
The Senate passed legislation (S4342), sponsored by Senator Patrick Gallivan (R-C-I, Elma), that would require convicted terrorists to serve their full prison sentences by making them ineligible for early release programs. In addition, the bill would also apply to individuals convicted of all homicide crimes, hate crimes, and major drug trafficking crimes.
"Last week's attack at the Boston Marathon, followed by news of a separate terror plot to strike a Western New York border crossing, reminds us that the capabilities of criminals have no limits and the horrendous nature of their crimes are ever evolving. So too must our laws to punish them," Senator Gallivan, Chairman of the Senate Crime Victims, Crime and Correction Committee, said. "This bill provides our justice system with the updated tools it needs to ensure that the worst-of-the-worst – murderers, drug kingpins and purveyors of terror – are made to serve their full debt to society, without any form of early release."
In addition, the Senate passed the following bills to increase public safety, protect New Yorkers - particularly children - and to toughen penalties for criminals:
Committing Robbery with a Bomb
The Senate passed legislation (S1018), sponsored by Senator Joe Robach (R-C-I, Rochester), that would increase penalties for criminals who attempt robberies with devices appearing to be bombs or explosives. The bill would elevate the criminal charge from third degree to first or second degree robbery.
"If someone robs a bank by putting their hand in a pocket and pretending to have a gun, or by using a toy gun, that person is guilty of either a first or second degree robbery," Senator Robach said. "But if that same person robs a bank and threatens to blow up the bank by displaying a device that appears to be a bomb, the person is only guilty of third degree robbery. That's illogical because the threat of a bomb is every bit as serious, and arguably more serious, than the threat of a gun. This bill would correct this inequity in the law."
Protect Our Children Act
The Senate approved the "Protect Our Children Act" (S1721A), sponsored by Senator Mark Grisanti (R-I, North Buffalo), which would create the new crime of aggravated murder of a child with a sentence of life in prison without parole.
The bill is being passed during National Child Abuse Prevention Month, would expand an existing law of aggravated abuse of a child which makes it a crime when someone recklessly causes physical injury to a child under the age of 14.
"This legislation will help to protect our children from anyone who is put in a position of trust to care for them and instead commits the ultimate violation by abusing them in some way," said Senator Grisanti. "This bill would increase the severity of punishment for anyone who would cause harm to a child; I am calling on the Assembly to pass this legislation immediately!"
The law currently applies only to day care providers, but this bill would expand it to also apply to parents, guardians or a person in a position of trust. The legislation identifies a person in a position of trust to mean any person who is charged with any duty or responsibility for the health, education, welfare, supervision or care of another person, either independently or through another person under 14 years of age, no matter how brief a time period it may be.
Other provisions of the bill would:
> Create a new felony for concealing the death of a child. A death of a child is profoundly tragic, and the concealment could not only interfere with the prosecution of the one responsible for the death by loss of evidence, but could also prolong the agony of the family as they search for their loved one with misplaced hope;
> Create a new felony for failing to notify law enforcement when the whereabouts of a young child is unknown for more than 24 hours;
> Create new felony offenses for obstructing the location of a missing child;
> Create a felony child endangering statute to protect children from especially cruel and sadistic conduct. Under current law, unless physical injury results, the infliction on children of sadistic, painful, dangerous punishments can typically be charged only as misdemeanors;
> Create a statute to protect children from serious reckless abuse. To the extent existing laws address reckless conduct, they minimize the seriousness by treating it as a low-level offense or often include the requirement that the conduct be "depraved," an element that New York courts have in recent years interpreted in a way that is extremely difficult to prove; and
> Increase penalties for repeat child abusers.
Expanding Ages for Aggravated Assault of a Child
The Senate approved legislation (S1456), sponsored by Senator John Flanagan (R-C-I, East Northport), that changes the maximum age of a victim of Aggravated Assault of a Child from less than 11, to less than 14.
"Our children deserve to live their lives without fear of those who may prey on them. Assault on any New Yorker is unacceptable and, by expanding current protections in place for children under eleven years of age to include eleven, twelve and thirteen year olds, this legislation will let those who target our most vulnerable know that they will be held responsible for their intolerable actions. I urge the Assembly to join the Senate in passing this change," stated Senator Flanagan.
Under existing law, a person is guilty of Aggravated Assault of a Child when the perpetrator is at least 18 years old and assaults someone less than 11 years old and has been previously convicted of the same crime within the preceding three years.
In addition to increasing the age from 11 to 14, this bill would allow for any prior assault to serve as the predicate for this crime and expands the predicate time period from three to 10 years.
Tougher Penalties for Assaulting a Police Officer
The Senate passed a bill (S4445A), sponsored by Senator Martin Golden (R-C, Brooklyn), that would increase the penalty for aggravated assault against a police or a peace officer to life without parole when the person convicted has two prior serious violent felonies.
"Existing law provides for life without parole for cop killers and stiff sentences for persistent violent felons. However, this penalty does not apply to criminals with multiple prior violent felonies who then attack police officers," Senator Golden said. "This bill mandates a sentence of life without parole for these incorrigible criminals."
Under current law, a persistent violent felony offender convicted of aggravated assault of a police officer (a class B felony) must only be sentenced to a minimum prison term between 20 and 25 years. This bill provides increased penalties for certain violent felony crimes committed against a police officer. It also states that a persistent violent felony offender convicted of aggravated assault on a police officer, would be sentenced to life without parole.
Cracking Down on Methamphetamine Production
The Senate passed a bill (S3639), sponsored by Senator Thomas O'Mara (R-C, Big Flats), that would toughen criminal penalties for the manufacturing of methamphetamines and for the possession of materials used to make methamphetamines.
The bill elevates penalties for every level of felony crime related to methamphetamine production, up to and including an A1 felony, punishable by between 15 to 25 years in prison.
"We need to send a strong message that we're not going to tolerate the operation of meth labs. Meth labs pose unacceptable risks to our neighborhoods, threaten the safety of police officers and first responders, and burden local systems of health care, criminal justice and social services," said Senator O'Mara. "Our laws need to keep pace with the goal of putting meth manufacturers out of business in New York State. The only byproducts of meth are addiction, tragedy and violence. "
According to the United States Department of Justice, methamphetamine is one of the nation's greatest drug threats. A recent department report noted that the drug is at its highest levels of availability and purity -- and lowest cost -- since 2005. That's attributed to rising Mexican imports, but also because of increased small-scale domestic production.
A 2009 report from the Rand Corporation estimated the economic cost of meth use in the United States reached nearly $24 billion in 2005 and could go as high as $48 billion.
Gang Recruitment on School Grounds
The Senate passed a bill (S2458), sponsored by Senator Andrew Lanza (R-I, Staten Island) making it a felony to recruit street gang members on school grounds.
"Gang violence, particularly among our teens, is a growing problem that is making its way into schools, putting students and staff at risk," said Senator Andrew Lanza (R, Staten Island). "The only way to stop violent, drug dealing gangs from recruiting our children with threats, intimidation and violence is to enact tough laws against them, which is just what this package of legislation does."
This legislation seeks to provide a safe haven for juveniles by making it more difficult for gang leaders to actively recruit and solicit children in and around schools.
The bills have been sent to the Assembly.

"Masterpiece" adds Ralph Lauren Corp. as sponsor
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- PBS' "Masterpiece" drama showcase is getting a fashionable new supporter.
The public TV program said Monday that the Ralph Lauren Corp. will become a national sponsor, marking the company's first TV sponsorship.
"Masterpiece" executive producer Rebecca Eaton called Lauren's support a tribute to the program, home of the hit British period drama "Downton Abbey."
During last February's New York Fashion Week, Lauren presented his fall 2012 collection to music from "Downton Abbey," telling The Associated Press that he's "always loved the heritage and romance of England."
Lauren's first on-air display of sponsorship begins Sept. 30 with the series "Upstairs Downstairs," which the company called another source of fashion inspiration.
Ralph Lauren joins current "Masterpiece" corporate funder Viking River Cruises. Viewer donations and the Masterpiece Trust also help fund the program.

That's brilliant. I've used the opening speech of "Henry V" ("Oh, for a muse of fire….") for the same reason. It does help you shift into another reality.
Invocation of the Muses
One of Steven Pressfield's main topics of focus in The War of Art is the fight against what he calls Resistance — the unrelenting struggle a writer faces to NOT write. Every day a writer has to push forward and make the writing happen. You just can't wait for inspiration, at least not if you're going to write professionally.
I've found that The War of Art is one of the most useful writing books I've ever read because of its description of and advice about waging the battle against Resistance (note the capital R — you must respect the enemy). To help me do battle, one of my tactics is to recognize that when you sit down to write you're entering a different kind of mental state. I tell writing students that just as a professional athlete would not simply arrive at the track field and start sprinting, a writer will be poorly served to jump into the seat and immediately start typing.
It's my thought that you have to acknowledge that change, that transition from one mental state (where you're worrying about groceries and laundry or that news article) to another where the story is all, in order to do good work.
On the first page of The War of Art, Pressfield describes what he does each day to prepare to write so that he can be in the proper frame. Amongst several other personal rituals, Pressfield says a prayer. His is the Invocation of the Muse from Homer's Odyssey, translated by T.E. Lawrence (that's Lawrence of Arabia, incidentally).
I've never been much of a praying man myself, but I liked the sound of this, so I looked up the prayer, which I had read as a school boy and probably blipped over:
O Divine Poesy
Goddess-daughter of Zeus,
Sustain for me
This song of the various-minded man,
Who after he had plundered
The innermost citadel of hallowed Troy
Was made to stray grievously
About the coasts of men,
The sport of their customs good or bad,
While his heart
Through all the seafaring
Ached in an agony to redeem himself
And bring his company safe home.
Vain hope – for them!
For his fellows he strove in vain,
Their own witlessness cast them away;
The fools,
To destroy for meat
The oxen of the most exalted sun!
Wherefore the sun-god blotted out
The day of their return.
Make the tale live for us
In all its many bearings,
O Muse.
That's glorious. I love it. Even though I do not think of the Muses as deities but as personifications of a state of mind that an artist must tap, I thought acknowledging the Muses with a sort of prayer would be an excellent acknowledgment of the transitional moment.
But I found a problem with the above prayer. Not with its language, but with its highly specific focus. When I tried to speak it, I was brought immediately to mind of someone else's story. Odysseus, naturally. I wanted a prayer to the Muses that was not necessarily aimed at the telling of one of Homer's great works.
So I penned one myself. It does not approach the glory of the prayer created by one of the world's greatest writers, but it is a prayer with words that speak for me.
The odd thing is that once I say the prayer, I feel like the matters I'm about to craft are more serious, and so I am far less tempted to check my e-mail or FB or Tweet or what have you. I'm all about the work.
I say again that I do not believe in Muses watching over us. But I do believe we must acknowledge and try to understand the creative spirit within us if we are to work with it to bring out our best work.
So, with that preamble, here's my prayer to the Muses:
Invocation to the Muses
(Howard Andrew Jones)
Muses, I praise thee.
Grant me the vision to craft words of power that sear into the mind's eye.
Let my ears hear words that are true and pure.
Let my inspiration be a mighty steed that carries me forward.
I pledge to you that I shall fight Resistance and strive to bring glory to the tales you would have me tell.
Let the work begin.

How can you be having a hard time coming up with the title of your book when you have these Muse-Prayers to draw upon?
Just between the Homer and Shakespeare pieces listed above you can find…
Their Own Witlessness Cast Them Away
To Destroy for Meat
Behold the Swelling
Abutting Fronts
Within the Girdle
You can't beat the classics.

I just read "The War of Art." The most useful book I have ever read! It explains everything for me and turned my life around. I am a writer of sorts but it all applies. I write software which is my work and for me, very much an art form. I really appreciate your invocation. Thank you,
Just a my copy this morning intrigued
Wow, thanks for this. I'll give it a shot tomorrow!
I am nearly finished with The War of Art and find it very appropriate to my work, sales. Resistance has been taking over so I'm very excited that I found Pressfield's work. Thank you for including the Invocation to the Muse and your own daily prayer.
Prayer For Everyone
May your days upon this earth be blessed
May the poetry of your being be freely expressed
May the light of compassion always shine in your eyes
And may your heart flow with a tenderness that never dies
May you hear the universal melody
May your song sing on endlessly
May the kindness of your spirit never be broken
And may your heart always be open
May you wake each day as if you were born anew
May you realize the beauty that's in you and all around you
May you always see a rainbow in the sky above
And may your heart always burn with the living flame of love
Thanks for sharing this. I just sent it to a couple friends.
I gave up my business after 30 years to pursue singing again. I came across the book Art is War on Pinterest. I bought it on Audible.com and have listened to it about 5 times now. I LOVE IT! I listen while doing housework, taking a shower or anytime I feel myself going off course.
Today I googled the prayer he refers to in the book and came across this site. Your prayer for everyone works best for me. Thank you!

Eamon, your prayer is very beautiful and stirring too. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Eamon, this prayer is brilliantly beautiful.
Thank you for posting this. I recently read The War of Art and I was looking for the prayer that Steven Pressfield was talking about. It's powerful to say the least.
Hello Howard,
I am almost finished with theWARofART, what an inspiration. The notion of "muse" intrigued me, thank you for sharing your insights. As a holistic health coach, I'm inspired to create a prayer of encouragement (meditation) as a starting point for those whom I support on their journey to wellness.

Thank you for sharing. I find your prayer powerful and moving. I plan on using it to help me motivate the muses and battle resistance.
Just ordered another copy of War of Art from Amazon, as my bookseller could not find it. The comment was that it was probably out of print. I cannot seem to work without this book, as I am hounded by resistance and my own fear. It certainly helps to transition with some kind of an invocation or prayer or something to the Infinite Universal Mind or whatever one may call it, to mind the quality while I mind the quantity. As both a photographer and a writer, this book is a really great companion. Thanks for the Prayers to the Muses. Keep writing. We can win over Resistance.
Pingback: State of the Blog : Howard Andrew Jones
I just finished reading theWarofArt after having it on my book shelf for over a year. This book has helped me more than any book i've read in the past when it comes to fighting resistance. Until now i've called that struggle to sit and write everything but resistance. Now I understand it in the most basic way. Like others I found this site while i was looking for more clarity on the prayer to the Muses. I thank everyone who added their personal prayer on here, and pray everyone continues to fight the resistance thats keeping them from being the person god has called them to be.
I am half way through WarOfArt and finding it very useful, googled the prayer, and found myself here. What a fabulous thread of responses. I recently trained as an actor in my late 40s to fulfil a long held dream and my resistance is overwhelming at the moment! I'm working through it and feel inspired now to write an invocation of my own so thank you all.

I found this page after wondering what the invocation to the muse sounded like from Pressfield's War of Art. Thanks for posting it. I think i will also craft my own–since i'm not about to tell somebody else's story (Oddyssey or no!). (and the Shakespeare one islovely, but too long for me.)
But thanks. Keep writing and helping out those others of us in the tribe of the bards with your presence in the world!
I am reading the War of Art for the third time, always inspiring, and in looking up prayers to the muse stumbled on your post. Great one. Thanks for sharing your homage to the muse! I think having my own will be a good thing! Onward to the writing!
It's great to see so many other people aware of War Of Art. I read it in one sitting and Mr Pressfield's words and ideas hit me in a way I have never experienced before! I'm also quite relieved to know I'm not the only one who felt that prayer in the book, although beautiful beyond words, is kinda too specific to Odysseus.
Taking a leaf out of Howard's book I too decided to construct my own prayer to the Muses. As someone who decided to walk away from a well paid but horribly demoralizing job with the police, has no income, has rent and mortgage to pay, been rejected for jobs left right and centre AND has about 5 writing ideas floating around aimlessly in his head, I need all the help I can get!!
This is my first attempt at writing a prayer, I sure hope it appeases the Muses!
I call out to thee, the nine Muses, divine Goddess daughters of Zeus
For guidance through the dark valleys which I currently wander
Where my character resides in a box guarded by Resistance
Where words linger within me, but tongue is tied and hands idle
And where inspirations are but visions played behind eyes in darkest night
I pray that my mind and hands work as one
That my tongue speaks truth and stories good and pure
That my eyes see the beauty you bless upon this world
That I may be afforded the strength to combat the great adversary Resistance
And that I may hold the key to release myself unto the world
I ask of these favours as a humble man
Praising the beauty of you, O Glorious Goddesses
The gentle touch of your hands and soothing sound of your voices
As I strive forward, into the light
Jimmy, I love your prayer and have adopted it as my own, save one word change in the fourth line from bottom – from man to human 😉
Pingback: What's a Muse? And Why Do I Need One? | Be Your Note
This column was thought provoking for me-an extension of Pressfeld's War of Art. And yes , it immediately caused me to draft my own
prayer to Muses as I work full time and struggle with painting and art time. My inner critic is too alive and strong.
Muses, I praise and acknowledge thee and thy powers.
let my eyes and my soul accept quietness in order to better seee the richness of colors.
Grant me the clarity of vision to translate the paint from feeling to canvas .
Let my inspiration steadily walk through the valley of Resistance .
I pledge to show up and be in the present moment So that you may guide my hands and my heart.
Let the Work begin.

Howard, I stumbled across your website in the exact same day I started reading The War of Art. It's great to find someone who shares the same views on creativity and on the writing process. Thanks for your prayer, it gave me insights about my own rituals.
Love this! Thanks for sharing.
Little late to the party, I blame resistance…lol
A friend recommended The War of Art last week, so I ordered it and am already nearly done in one sitting. I stopped during the reading when it came to the prayer to the Muses, not by resistance, at least I don't think, but by inspiration. I didn't want to resume until I had created a prayer for myself, an actor by profession.
O' Muses, Goddesses of the creative arts.
Allow my Inspiration to shatter resistance in all forms it may take.
Keep my thoughts pure, positive, and aligned with my own Divinity.
Allow my heart to be filled with Love and Compassion.
My vision clear and precise, my words true and direct, and my work to be successful and fulfilling!
Allow me to create and express myself as freely as yourselves.
To perform in a way that brings Joy to hearts, peace to minds, and Inspires others to do the same as I.
Allow my light to shine brighter than I imagined!
Thank you! Amen.
Howard, thank you for having this page, and allowing us to share a bit of ourselves.

17 If a person owns the kinds of things we need to make it in the world but refuses to share with those in need, is it even possible that God's love lives in him? 18 My little children, don't just talk about love as an idea or a theory. Make it your true way of life, and live in the pattern of gracious love.
19-20 There is a sure way for us to know that we belong to the truth. Even though our inner thoughts may condemn us with storms of guilt and constant reminders of our failures, we can know in our hearts that in His presence God Himself is greater than any accusation. He knows all things. 21 My loved ones, if our hearts cannot condemn us, then we can stand with confidence before God. 22 Whatever we may ask, we receive it from Him because we follow His commands and take the path that pleases Him. 23 His command is clear: believe in the name of His Son, Jesus the Anointed, and love one another as He commanded. 24 The one who follows His teaching and walks this path lives in an intimate relationship with God. How do we know that He lives in us? By the gift of His Spirit.

Sherwood Innovations Dash Kit - Simple Style
Upgrade Your Plastic Dash in 30 Minutes
Last month, we showed you how easy it was to upgrade your airbag-equipped steering wheel and boring gauges by updating project Blue Bomber's all-stock interior. The 2011 Silverado was looking more stylish, but the work truck black plastic dash was still a buzzkill. Keeping with the best bang for the buck philosophy, we reached out to Sherwood Innovations and ordered a new dash overlay kit for the Chevy. Part of the theme for Blue Bomber was simplistic styling and Sherwood had just what we needed. Rather than go wild with a blue dash kit or even try to match the higher-optioned Silverado LTZ's fake woodgrain look, we ordered a brushed aluminum dash kit. The brushed aluminum perfectly matched the brushed wheel face on the 20-inch Racelines and the silver color complemented the silver accents on the Grant steering wheel. Best of all, it came with detailed instructions, plastic adhesive prep, and even included several extra pieces for different trim levels. It took us 30 minutes to cover up the ugly black dash and our interior was looking better than ever.

I'm always browsing around for a new "novel" to read after finally~ finishing last scenario for FSN maybe this week. I been working on FSN all last summer but I never thought the last scenario was very interesting until I played it late at night and you first encounter the "darkness" (purposely mislabeled for spoiler reasons) which freaked the sheets out of me.
But anyway Sushi-Y's sig drew me to this, good to know its a novel with no ero, but how is the "novel" experience compared to FSN? I was impressed from first playing FSN and how it did action sequences sooo well.
Just wondering is Higurashi like it in a sense or... more toward a plantarian or naucissa (sp?) sorta thing?
Also how is the horror in this work, I've always been a coward lol. Like I said things like the FSN "darkness" scared the begeesus out of me. I was wondering am I gonna be jumping in my pants or... lol I don't even watch horror movies ;-;
Also (mmm lots of also lol), I understand through the horror description the element of blood on the theme for the website... but what the heck is the "eyes" thing after you "enter" at http://www.oyashirosama.com/web/enter.htm. I'll know eventually? Cause damn i hate creepy stuff like that

Compare it to Fate? Hmm... my suggestion would be to not do that; these are two completely different games, they're both great, but in their unique ways. You'll only be disappointed if you start Higurashi expecting "something similiar to Fate/stay night".
My suggestion is to just start the game with a blank mind, and don't judge about what it's like (whether it's the visuals or story developments) until you have finished the game (or the first chapter, at least).
Experience wise, Higurashi is definately one of the best. Regardless of where we are now (Minagoroshi-hen, the 7th installment out of the planned 8, where most of the mystery has been solved), when the story was still rolling around in the early chapters, it was certainly gripping.
In any case, you should head to the official site:
and browse around for more info there.
Most importantly, you can download the trial version of the game there as well (the trial version contains the entire first chapter/installment of the game, Onikakushi-hen).

lol thanks for the answers, I was really drawn in by the sig in particular but I realized I knew about the anime earlier from checking new animes for this year, just surprised about the origins of this work and all (since the original anime site was pretty bland and undescriptive first time I looked at it). Was wondering what the heck it was until I saw this thread and realized it was a sound novel.
Will try out that trial chapter thingy lol i got used to the "darkness" just the first time it came from out of nowhere it was freaky. (excuses excuses lol )

But I have to admit, the first time I saw Rena's "oyashiro-mode" kick in, I freaked out.
And the manga does an excellent job at this too!

Finished the trial chapter (Onikakushi) this morning...
I thought I should write out what I thought before taking a long break (since my spring break is over lol) since I have to wait my order to come in anyway for the next chapters.
But... I don't know the last portions really threw a screwball at me.
Spoiler for My thoughts on Onikakushi:
Some Tips stand out as strange or creepy lol like Reina-Rena, and especially Supamaat-nite. Not sure what the latter meant...
Anyway this should be a good reminder to myself when I start playing it again toward summer. Can't wait for the anime now lol

That's actually a very good analysis.
But yeah, compared to the next 2 chapters (Watanagashi and Tatarigoroshi), Onikakushi is only an appetizer. ^^

I can't find the delete post button, but either way, some of the posts took me an effort to type, so I'd rather keep them. I went through my posts in here once and wrapped most of the stuffs in named spoiler tags. If people still want to spoil themselves, then I can't do anything about it.
While I'm here, might as well add some news:
- Info on the consumer port of Higurashi, 「ひぐらしのなく頃に祭」 has been released during the "Alchemist Festival 2006" back on the 16th.
The biggest change for the consumer port is probably the fact that the game characters and CGs will be completely redrawn.
Another major change is the addition of selection points, which is a very interesting addition indeed (will the player finally gain the ability to alter the final outcome?). The characters should be fully voiced by the same voice actors from the drama cd/anime as well.

Okay......this really has both to do with the anime and the game, but the question really relates more to this part, so I'll ask it here.
I have yet to watch the anime, and I should be recieving my air-mail of Chapter 2 to 5 in about 2 weeks time.
Sushi-dono knows that I wasn't too thrilled about Onikakushi, and I just really want to ask if watching the few episodes will ruin the game experience from Chapter 2 onwards?

Still, Higurashi IS mainly a novel based around the suspense and mystery, so once you have seen the story once, the "whoa" impact value is bound to decrease. Some people care about this, some don't. Personally, I would go through the game first before watching the anime, because it has been pointed out through the first 4 episodes that the anime has made some misses / skipped some things which made things a little more confusing for anyone who haven't played the game. On the other hand, if you watch the anime first, then you will probably enjoy it better due to the freshness of the story + you wouldn't notice the rushed pacing as much.
In the end, it's up to you.

Some random news that should be interesting for the gamers (yes, all 5 of us):
(The Maebara Suzu pic I posted in the other thread also came from this)
There's a "test" package available from the development diary:
(just drag a copy of the higurashi exe (or a ncsr.exe from the downloaded nscripter package) into the extracted folder and run it)
Also, from that same diary, I found this:
Otsukaresama kai for Meakashi and Tsumihoroboshi! Finally! Closure (for me)!

They might not necessarily have their story straight, but they believe they do for whatever reason. I believe the easiest situation for somebody to believe their own lie is simply accidentally forgetting the whole story, and then retelling it with false facts.

Heres an example: I was drinking with an eskimo (a guy from Nunavut in Canada) and he seemed to take an abnormal liking to me and was trying to impress me with his stories and it was working (I liked his story about him jumping out the 2nd floor window of a crack house lol) until he told me this one. He claimed that he could snort an 8 ball of coke then drop 10 ecstasy pills and live to tell the tale. I instantly lost all respect for him cuz I couldn't believe any of his previous stories then and thought that he just wasted an hour of my time telling me bullshit. I told him no human can survive that but he kept claiming that he's done it before over and over again and he started getting pretty hostile about me not believing him. In reality he probably got the numbers mixed up or was misinformed about what the drugs were and believed what he was telling me

Color-grading control surface with 3 high-resolution trackballs and Ethernet connectivity.
If video post is your passion, Euphonix MC Color offers deep tactile control and integration with Apple Color, REDCINE-X, Smoke for Mac, and STORM, helping you speed up your-color grading workflow through high-resolution trackballs, trackwheels, touch-sensitive encoders, and a host of programmable keys"all in a slim design.
MC Color Overview
MC Color is a color-grading control surface that attaches to your Mac through Ethernet, and features high-resolution optical trackballs, trackwheels, displays, encoders, and a host of programmable keys to speed up and enhance your workflow. The controller offers an ergonomic design and a host of features to provide deep integration and plug-and play operation with a range of leading color-grading applications, including Apple Color, REDCINE-X, Smoke for Mac, and STORM. MC Color's compact design is portable enough for on-set grading, and can be combined with other Artist Series controllers to build a larger, integrated video editing control surface.
EuCon High-Speed Connectivity"Any Application
MC Color features EUCON, a high-speed Ethernet control protocol that Apple, Autodesk, RED, and The Foundry have natively integrated into their color-correction applications. EUCON carries control information for trackballs, trackwheels, knobs, displays, and more between MC Color and whatever application you'e currently working in on your computer.
Color correction and finishing applications that support EUCON include:
¢ Apple Color
¢ Smoke for Mac
Multiple Apps/Workstations:
Artist Series media controllers allow you to cycle through applications and even switch between multiple workstations.
Multiple Applications:
The EUCON protocol is application-aware and automatically changes the surface controls and displays to match the application in focus"perfect for modern, multi-application workflows. For applications that support multiple œrooms, such as Apple Color, EUCON automatically updates MC Color's controls and displays"including the nine programmable soft keys"to present the controls and parameters specific to the current room. Although MC Color has been designed specifically to control color-grading applications, you can program its Soft Keys to control other applications such as Final Cut Pro, Soundtrack Pro, and more, and even use the center trackball as a mouse.
Multiple Workstations:
EUCON is a network protocol and provides switching between multiple workstations. This feature enables you to access and control any Mac running EUCON software on the extended network, with keyboard and mouse commands automatically forwarded to the selected workstation"perfect for multi-workstation workflows and facilities with machine rooms.
Comprehensive Control:
MC Color offers three high-resolution optical trackballs and trackwheels, as well as six touch-sensitive rotary encoders, to adjust multiple color parameters simultaneously. These controls automatically change their function as you navigate not only between applications, but also between the rooms in Apple Color and views in Smoke for Mac, controlling everything from color values and contrast sliders to vignette parameters, pan-and-scan position and more.
In Color, you can quickly reset parameter values that you™ve modified with the trackballs and trackwheels, using the six reset buttons. Press any encoder knob top to reset its encoder parameters. And easily view parameter names, values, and other details through six high-resolution OLED displays.
The Bank 1 and Bank 2 Keys enable you to switch assignment of the rotary encoders between different parameters, giving you even more hands-on control without your hands ever leaving the surface. MC Color also features eight Copy and Paste Grade Keys that allow you to quickly copy and paste up to four different grades from one clip to another.
Intuitive Navigation:
MC Color not only provides you with high-resolution control over grading parameters, but also enables quick navigation of Color's rooms and Secondaries and the various areas of the Smoke interface. In Color, pressing the NAV Key displays the room names across the six OLED displays, and you can jump to any room by simply pressing the top of the corresponding knob below each display. Pressing the NAV Key in conjunction with the Shift Key allows you to navigate the six Secondaries in the same way.
MC Color also features dedicated transport controls for play, stop, forward, backward, next clip, and previous clip for effortless project navigation. You can even toggle the center trackball on the fly to work as a mouse, with the reset buttons functioning as a left and right click.
Programmable Soft Keys:
MC Color features nine programmable Soft Keys that automatically change their function as you switch applications or even navigate between the various rooms in Apple Color. MC Color ships with commonly used functions for each application preprogrammed to these keys, but you can easily customize them for any function, macro, or key injection command using the onscreen Soft Key Editor. Press the Show Key at any time to instantly display the functionality of the Soft Keys for the current application and/or room
Artist Systems
The MC Control is designed to work with up to four MC Mix units and an MC Transport unit for complete audio mixing control with 36 faders. With EuCon applications, the MC Control can also be used to assign any track to any MC Mix fader and have these assignments saved for easy recall from the screen. Save a Layout for drums, one for keyboards, another for guitars, and so on, to make mixing with large number of tracks a breeze. MC Control, MC Mix and MC Transport units clip together or can be situated anywhere as each has its own Ethernet connection.

Apple has issued guidance to iOS developers wondering how to protect their App Store apps from a hack that makes it possible to get in-app purchases for free. For now there is no fix, Apple simply promises that the vulnerability will be addressed in iOS 6.
The new support document states: "A vulnerability has been discovered in iOS 5.1 and earlier related to validating in-app purchase receipts by connecting to the App Store server directly from an iOS device." The post claims: "iOS 6 will address this vulnerability". Apple recommends that if developers follow the best practices described in the post their apps will not be affected by this attack.
The following best practices are recommended:
- You app should perform receipt validation by sending the receipt to your server and having your server perform the validation with the App Store server. However, Apple notes that: "It may be vulnerable to similar attacks when connecting to your server".
- Use the appropriate cryptographic techniques to ensure that your app is actually connected to your server, and that your server is actually connected to the App Store server.
Apple admits: "If your app connects to the App Store server directly from the device, your app may be affected by this vulnerability." In this case it recommends the following:
- Check that the SSL certificate used to connect to the App Store server is an EV certificate.
- Check that the information returned from validation matches the information in the SKPayment object.
- Check that the receipt has a valid signature.
- Check that new transactions have a unique transaction ID.
The App Store hack that lets iOS users trick the App Store into giving them in-app purchases for free went public almost two weeks ago. Alexey V. Borodin of Russia built the in-app purchase hack, which requires several steps--including installing bogus certificates on your device, and using a specially-crafted DNS server. Those ingredients combine to fool apps into believing that they're communicating with the App Store, when they're actually going to a Web server that pretends to the App Store instead. Borodin told Macworld that his exploit works in part by faking - or "spoofing" - the code receipts that Apple issues for in-app purchases which developers use for validation, with the iOS device configured to mistakenly believe that those receipts are coming directly from Apple.
Now, Borodin has published a hack that enables the same process through the Mac App Store.

Bishop Columbus Hexagonal Track Bike
Always a big fan of the work of Chris Bishop, and this track bike built with hexagonal tubing from Columbus is no exception. Aside from the tubing, this track bike was built with first generation Rensho 3-point lugs and features a modified finned BB shell. Up front, you have a Samson fork crown holding matching 24mm round Columbus Pista fork blades and Cherubium f/r track ends.
The rear end is composed of Columbus Pista Sprint 22.2-24mm bulged chain stays, Columbus MAX seat stays and Columbus Gilco fluted bridge. Bryan Myers of Fresh Frame took care of the lovely autumn-appropriate paint.

Logbooks were used to track the progress of sailors previously. Irish Sailing introduced a new system of online sailing passports in 2017. These are organised by the Club and your sailor will receive log on information when you register for the course.
Irish Sailing introduced a new syllabus a number of years ago. A number of new levels were introduced so there is a lot more choice in what kind of sailing is available. Information on the current syllabus can be found here.
Please look at the information on this site for the level you are doing.
The new levels correspond to the old syllabus as follows
Once sailors have completed Improving Skills there is a choice of levels:
"Advanced Boat Handling" is a stepping-stone from the first 3 levels to the more advanced levels. The skills learned in this course are important in all aspects of sailing so it is a good general course to do.
Once a sailor has completed two of these courses they can progress to Go Racing 2, Adventure 2 or Kites and Wires 2 (naturally sailors should have completed the corresponding number 1 course).
Passing your level is not the be all and end all of the course. Instructors will let you know how you are progressing throughout the course. If you don't achieve the level that you are going for don't worry, you have still got lots of experience on the water and you will hopefully have had lots of fun doing so. There is no need to rush through all the levels, take your time, learn lots and enjoy it.
It is not advised to bring valuables with you to the course, but if necessary there is a safe box behind the bar.
What you wear when sailing has a big effect on whether you will enjoy the experience or not. If a child is too cold or gets sunburnt they are unlikely to want to get out on the water again!
Buoyancy Aid - make sure it fits properly and it is appropriate for the weight of the sailor. If it is damaged it needs to be replaced.
Wetsuit - Ireland is too cold not to wear a wetsuit! Sailors must wear a wetsuit. Even if it appears sunny the water is still very cold.
Footwear- wetsuit boots (booties) or old runners are appropriate. Flip flops are not allowed in and around the sailing club or when sailing as they do not protect the feet and can fall off easily.
Towel & shampoo/shower gel.
Plastic bag to put wet clothes in.
Packed lunch.
Please make sure your boat is seaworthy and has all the rigging and equipment needed. On the first day of the course the instructors will do a safety check on all the boats (see list required at minimum below). If your boat is deemed unseaworthy, or unavailable for whatever reason, we cannot guarantee your child will be on the water until the situation is rectified. So please get organised!.
Please also ensure that each boat has a trolley marked with the sailors name and sail number where appropriate.
All boats MUST have sail numbers on their sails this Summer (2018). This enables instructors to readily identify sailors on the water and allows recorders to take finishing results for Wednesday and Saturday racing. Numbers can be purchased in any local chandlery and all numbers can be constructed from "digit 8's". A guide to putting numbers on your sail can be found here. We recommend that this is done at home on a flat surface/floor when the sail is clean and dry and not on the pier on day one of the course!. Your sail number should match your hull number (which can be found on a manufacturers plate on your boat).
The Adult"Try Sailing" course takes place each year aboard a 1720 sailing boat and a Laser Stratos. It will run from 23 - 27 July (mornings and afternoons). There is a sign up sheet on the Club Noticeboard. Interested members should contact the club house for further information/full details on 028 20426.

Natan Offen
Born: December 15, 1922
Cracow, Poland
Natan was one of four children born to religious Jewish parents. They lived in an apartment in Cracow's [Krakow] Podgorze district, a predominantly Jewish area on the southern bank of the Vistula River. Natan's father was a shoemaker until 1936, when he became a dealer in billiards equipment. His mother worked as a dressmaker. Natan and his siblings attended Polish public school.
1933-39: When I was 13 I built a crystal radio. Late at night, my father and I would listen to stations from all over Europe. In August 1939, when a German invasion seemed imminent, the Polish army opened flour, tobacco and chocolate warehouses in the city to the public--they didn't want the Germans to get the goods. We got a sack of flour, cartons of cigarettes and chocolate. On September 6, 1939, the German army occupied Cracow.
1940-45: On their way back to Germany, injured German soldiers arrived in Cracow from the Soviet front. I carried them from their train to a delousing car set up in the rail yard. One SS soldier with badly frozen feet spoke to me in Polish. He called me "friend." His cordiality angered me. How dare he think we were friends. I hoisted him on my back, letting his feet drag. Carrying him across the rail yard, he wailed in pain as his feet struck the rails. Later, I wept; I'd lost my humanity. I'd become a beast like him.
Natan was deported to the Plaszow labor camp and then to Gusen, a subcamp of Mauthausen. He was liberated by Americans in May 1945. Natan moved to the United States in 1951.

Sometimes you have to give up a little privacy in order to find out how much — or how little — privacy you really have. So I handed over the keys to my Gmail account to Cesar Hidalgo, a professor at the MIT Media Lab and the designer of a program called Immersion.
Immersion looks at the volume and frequency of your email traffic. It looks at what's known as metadata — to/from information. In this sense, it operates similar to the program the National Security Agency uses to collect data on most U.S. phone traffic, as part of its effort to fight terrorism. Neither the NSA nor Immersion can see what you are actually saying to your friends, family and work colleagues. But it's surprising just how much you can see simply by looking at metadata.
A few minutes after looking at my Immersion profile, Hidalgo had my number. Like a fortune teller, he could immediately ferret out my closest relationships.
For example, my correspondence with my girlfriend, Anita, put her right at the center of my Immersion profile. She appears as a big blue circle. By sorting our emails by month and year, Hidalgo could see that we met four years ago. He could see that things started out slowly, and as we became closer, messages flew back and forth at a faster rate.
"It was a little bit timid in the beginning, and then the relationship intensified," Hidalgo said with a wink.
A look at my correspondence with my son showed rather one-sided exchanges that should be familiar to any parent. "For every five emails that you send, he gives you two back," Hidalgo said. Again, a very accurate reading of a father's efforts to stay in touch with a wonderful son who is not the best correspondent. Hidalgo could see all that, based on just a few hundred emails.
The analogy to the NSA program is, of course, not perfect. In some ways, NSA investigators know less than Hidalgo does. The government says investigators cannot see identifying information; they just see connections between anonymous numbers.
My Gmail account, on the other hand, conveniently reveals the screen names of my contacts, and that often helps identify who is male and who is female. Leaks from Edward Snowden tell us that the NSA is able to follow these trails much further than Immersion can. The NSA can pursue three "hops," so it learns not just the name of my contacts, but those of my contacts' contacts, and even my contacts' contacts' contacts.
Hidalgo notes that even without identifying information attached to these communications, the patterns he sees in metadata are unique. Few people have the exact same communications pattern with my girlfriend, my son, and with my close friends. So that information could potentially be used to identify me.
Just imagine how powerful this metadata could be when paired with other forms of metadata: Web-surfing information, credit card purchases, even perhaps cellphone location information, which some regard as the new frontier of metadata.
As many of us now know, our cellphones send out a signal, telling our provider where we are throughout the day. As with phone records, the government has argued that the location information from your cellphone belongs to the telecommunications company you subscribe to. The courts have agreed, saying these records are not subject to Fourth Amendment protections.
Thanks to electronic gadgets and our increasing use of the Internet, the quantity of metadata is exploding. And as Hidalgo's Immersion research shows, our understanding of what that metadata means is also advancing rapidly. The question is whether laws to protect that information are keeping up.
More now on the debate over surveillance and privacy. The government says it's merely been collecting our telephone metadata, not actually eavesdropping on our conversations or reading our emails. Metadata are the lists of phone numbers called, when the calls were placed, and how long they lasted. Yesterday on this program we heard why this metadata is not usually considered private. But sometimes metadata, whether seemingly anonymous phone or email logs, can tell you a lot.
NPR's Larry Abramson found this out for himself.
And Larry, you've brought up an image on our computer here in the studio. And what are we looking at? I'll just say right off, it's a bunch of circles, colored different colors with lines, connected by lines. Looks to me, at first glance, like an organizational chart.
LARRY ABRAMSON, BYLINE: Well, in some ways it is. This is actually my life as represented through my Gmail account. This graphic shows all of the emails that I've sent to other people, emails that they've sent to me. And I decided to hand over the keys to this particular Gmail account to a guy named Cesar Hidalgo. He's a professor at the MIT Media Lab and he's devised a program called Immersion.
With one click, Immersion takes your e-mail and turns it into this graphic according to how many emails you've sent to your friends and how many they've sent you. And within second - it was kind of creepy, Renee - Hidalgo was able to tell me a lot about my life. Listen to what he had to say
CESAR HIDALGO: The first thing that comes conspicuously out of the screen here is that there are three people that are very important in your life.
MONTAGNE: And Larry, looking at the screen, I assume those three people are represented by the three biggest balloons on this graphic - two blue and one orange.
ABRAMSON: Exactly. Hidalgo could see that I email a lot with my girlfriend, Anita, my son Seth, and also with a close friend named Scott.
MONTAGNE: But we're just looking at the amount of email traffic here, right? I mean I can see these circles. But I mean, we can't see what you were saying to these people.
ABRAMSON: Well, right. But that's the point. Without having to sort through all of the content of the messages, you can still see really important information about the nature of my relationship with these different people. Cesar Hidalgo looked more closely at my exchanges with my girlfriend, Anita.
HIDALGO: This is a relationship that started around the beginning of 2010. And it was a little bit timid in the beginning and then the relationship intensified...
ABRAMSON: I think that's enough about my relationship with my girlfriend.
ABRAMSON: But by looking at the frequency of our email exchanges, Hidalgo mapped the progress of our relationship pretty accurately. Now, here's another example. He looked at my emails to my son, and this pattern should be familiar to a lot of parents.
HIDALGO: So you see you have sent Seth 488 emails and you have received only 192. So basically for every five emails that you send, he gives you two back.
MONTAGNE: I'm wondering if an analyst might look at that and go, oh, of course, child and parent...
ABRAMSON: Right.
MONTAGNE: But I do see a bunch of green balloons here that are interconnected by a web of lines and they all seem to be linked to your close friend Scott, which I can tell because there's Scott and he's in a very large orange balloon.
ABRAMSON: Right in the middle, right.
MONTAGNE: Yeah. So what does that mean?
ABRAMSON: Well, to me, this is the most interesting part. Immersion brings out groups, networks of people. And when Cesar Hidalgo looked at this, like a trained investigator he instantly guess what that would mean.
HIDALGO: The fact that they form a tightly knit group tells me that probably you guys either went to school together or you participate in sports together or do some sort of activity as a group.
ABRAMSON: Once again, spot on. These guys are part of a kayaking group that I belong to and that my friend Scott introduced me to.
MONTAGNE: So he's honing in on the nature of the relationship just by looking at the to and from information. Although I must say he probably didn't figure out it was a kayaking group.
ABRAMSON: No. He could just see that it was a sports group or something like that because he could see that it was a bunch of guys. And again, it was a wild guess on his part, but it was right. It also shows the power, Renee, of not just looking at my contacts but also looking at my contacts' contacts, because all of these guys were emailing one another in addition to emailing to me.
MONTAGNE: How different would things look if you and your friends were up to no good - plotting a crime, for heaven sakes, or god forbid, a terrorist attack?
ABRAMSON: Well, you know, that's true. You would probably see a similar web of connections between the leaders of any group and its various members. And this is why intelligence officials emphasize they don't just look at collections of phone numbers and draw a conclusion unless they have a suspicion that somebody in these groups is connected to terrorism somehow.
They don't investigate groups of innocent people, they say.
MONTAGNE: So Larry, how particular is this sort of thing? Won't my email patterns look a lot like yours? I mean lots of messages to my friends, that sort of thing.
ABRAMSON: Right. We all have close friends in the center of our networks and no two networks will be identical. But Cesar Hildalgo has looked at lots and lots of patterns and he says these patterns are unique. They're kind of like a bit of personal DNA.
HIDALGO: Obviously there's probably only one person that interacts, first with Anita, then with Seth and then with Scott, you know, and that's you.
MONTAGNE: Bigger question. If this information is so valuable, could it not be argued that it's foolish for law enforcement to ignore all of this metadata?
ABRAMSON: Yeah, it would be foolish. I mean it would be like trying to be a journalist without using the Internet. You'd be ignoring really important information that characterizes modern life. Government investigators say this is the kind of information that we need to get in order to find criminals and terrorists. The challenge for the courts and for Congress is figuring out whether the availability of all of this information about you and me requires new laws and new protections for privacy.
MONTAGNE: That's NPR's national security correspondent Larry Abramson. Thanks very much.
ABRAMSON: All right. Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
