papers a few weeks since — one in the " carolina republi can lhe other in the " lincoln coutier one of which was transferred to the columns oflhe north carolina standard together with a letler written by col john h wheeler to go vernor manly in those several publications attempts are made lo prejudice the community against me by the indulgence of assertions lhat have no foundations in truth before proceeding to reply lo so much thus written as merits any noliee i will here say that were this election to be held over again my official acts should under similar circum stances be preeisely what they have been in every important particular for the plain and ob vious roason that the course i have pursued i was fair and just and legal now lo show that col wheeler intended lo cast censure on me unless a majority of the of ficers in the brigade under my command sup ported him i invite attention to the letter of governor manly ofthe 4th of may copied into the standard to which col wheeler's now under consideration is a reply there it will be seen he commenced his attacks by insisting on the illegality of the election in the 83th re i giment as early as the first of last february now it so happened i was preseni at that i election which is the upper regiment of da vidson and i undertake to say it was held ac cording to lhe law as laid down in the loth sec ! ofthe 38th chap of the act of 1846 to which ' col wheeler refers and which merely requires the polls shall be opened at eleven o'clock and : remain open until three on that day the polls were opened accordingly between 11 and 12 o'clock and remained open until after 3 o'clock i — there having been elections held also for field , officers of lhe regiment this state of facts 1 can be established if necessary by certificates ! or affidavits of gentlemen whose attention were i called to the law on lhat day and who possess ' as high character for truth and integrity as col : wheeler there was a full attendance on that j day as the vote shows and strange as it may | appear to the public col wheeler was present , — having reached there a few minutes after my ; arrival and when but two votes were cast the colonel's and lt colonel's and at bis wheel er's request i suggested to the officers to cease : voting that he might address them they did i so and listened for a considerable time to what ! an officer in conversation with me afterwards j called a windy egotistical speech 1 knew that j col wheeler would be on — having passed hint j and i proceeded accordingly to wri'.e tickets for j wheeler and gailher ; and when he wheeler j reached there i presented them for which he i thanked me ; and during the election at least a ! part of the lime we were in conversation i ; attempted to exert no influence eilher way af terwards we parted as we had met courteously and politely and not a word of complaint was he heard lo utter now if the election had been illegally held 1 or if any injustice had been done him and i surely no one had the opportunity of knowing \ belter than himself that such was nol the case why were no complaints heard on lhat day ? — was not that the proper time ? but why were they not heard until it was well ascertained | that if the whole division had the opportunity ■of voting he would be defeated .' for the rea son in my opinion already given ; that he in tended to complain and to attack me either i directly or by insinuation unless a majority of the officers of my brigade supported him in his letler in regard to the election in this regiment he uses the following language : — " as regards the election in the 83ih regiment : being illegally held and not in accordance with the act of 1846 tbe same enactment i have referred to — this is not now germaine to the issue if it ever was germaine to the is sue why not so now ? this was written 1st of june before any commission issued — i were not the same facts then existing and tlie same principles still involved ? surely they i were so much for col wheeler's complaint i in this matter which i have shewn is without foundation and which in fact be himself a bandons after this discovering lhat his first charge was not " germaine to the issue and . after its abandonment he takes new ground i and prefers other charges equally untenable and hopes thus lo convince the public that the ' law countenances the complaints and croakings of a defeated candidate for office and that they are to be taken as a good foundation for order i ing a court martial on faithful officers who have discharged tbeir duiies i but before opening fully on me the big guns of his battery be commences by boasting that he heal general gait her in davie county where he never was in all his life he informs the world lhat he did not know personally a sin gle officer in that regiment now may not this be ihe very reason he got a majority in davie ? at any rate no grumbling is heard as to any illegality in this regiment where he received a majorily of votes but his vote in davie surely " is not germaine to lhe issue i after the relief afforded from a disclosure of i his wonderful success in davie the cause of i which is well known there and elsewhere and < not perse very complimentary to him he iro i ceeds to pay a deserving compliment to one i i had known for years as a true gentleman and 1 the report of whose gallant bearing and tin i daunted bravery in the battle fields of mexico < produced a thrill of pride and pleasure in lhe i heart of every true north carolinian i beg ! capt hoke's pardon for ihus alluding to his i name and have only done so in reply to col l wheeler and to say how much pleasure it t would have afforded me to have exerted my in < fluence in bis behalf had he been the candidate ( indeed on hearing that capt hoke's name was i spoken of iu connexion witb this office i in ( formed gen gailher that if he hoke wouid t consent to run he would in my opinion receive < an almost unanimous vote in my brigade t and i submit it to lhat portion of lhe public i who know capt hoke personally or by repu t tation o say whether in their opinion had he t been a candidate be would have accepted the oflice of major general bad il heen tendered him upon receiving a mere plurality of votes wben two entire counties had not even heard of the election and bad never therefore had he opportuniiv of voting ihe man who would seek to obtain an oflice of honor in this way in our republican land ; — who woulj seek to take advantage ofa diminution of the record so to speak is to be pitied most surely lut nol envied ob ! no bul col wheeler afier giving up his first issue and complaint makes other charges on me directly and still more grave by de manding ot the governor repeatedly a court martial on me for delay in making my return now having made this demand so often and so peremtorily and with so many flourishes — and having in his letters whicb have been going the rounds of tbe newspapers attempted io ex cite prejudice in the public mind against gov manly for disregarding bis second " charge and specification i deem it proper to inform col wheeler notwithstanding be is a law yer and the very few others who do not alrea dy know it tbat ibis issue is slid less ger maine than his first tor tbe plain rpason that the law does not give governor manly tbe rigli or power to order a court martial on a briga dier general — even were the acts of such ofli cer unmiliiary or illegal — neither of which state of facts exist in this case and if col wheeler did not know this he ought lo have known it now where is tbe law lhat authorizes the go vernor to order a couit martial on a brigadier general .' or where is the law tbat fixes a lime that a brigadier general shall make his return ? such law cannot be found because it has never been enacted and yet without any law or any justification he demands of he governor a court marlial on me i sincerely wish that such a law existed then i could have a court martial in my case when my official acts could be triumphantly vindicated and the misrepresentations and untruths of newspaper scribblers r.nd letter writers could be more fully unmasked and more generally exposed but notwithstanding all this because governor manly will not do that which there is no law ' for and which he bad no right and no powet to do he is to be called by carping newspapet scribblers a partisan governor , but i am perfectly willing that col wheel 1 er and his special friends shall entertain the belief that my delay prevented a commission from issuing to him ; which i feel sure by the way was not lhe case and shall prove it pre sently for even if it were so 1 should have the satisfaction of knowing lhat this delay re sulted in lhe awaid of justice lo the candidates and in the maintenance of republican princi ples i have already shewn that the elections were properly and legally held throughout the brig ade under my command — a larger vote wasrasl than in either ofthe other brigades constituting the division ; — that no complaints were made at the time from any quarter and that governor manly had no right in law or otherwise to or der a court martial on me ; and i shall now proceed lo shew that had this delay so much harped upon been intentional which i will yet fully prove was not the case tbat stiil my re turns were legal and also made in due time tbis position might be established in every reasonable mind by the simple statement of fact lhat my returns were made to the adju tant general some lime before the suppleraen al or amended returns of gen neal reached raleigh : and both law and justice required that this amended return should be made before the elections throughout the division could be com 1 plete and before the adjutant general could make known officially the result and before therefore the governor had the power to issue a commission now lhat this proposition may be fully understood and proved it becomes ne cessary for me to show that the first orders is sued by gen neal was nol such as the law re quires as to the counties of montgomery and stanly and in establishing this proposition i shall not attribute lo gen neal any improper motives or any unfairness in the malter or in dulge in such language as one or two newspa pets have towards me even wben 1 have done my duty — language which i cannol out of self respect stoop to notice but i will suppose it was the result of an honest error whicb to his credit was promptly corrected tinder the second order of the adju tant general by his neal issuing legal or ders to montgomery and stanly and by his sub sequent amended return : without which i re peat the governor bad no right lo issue a commission to any man well now to the law and the testimony the 40ih see of the act ol 1s36 — 37 requires the officer issuing orders to lodge said orders in the post office properly directed written on the back public service with bis name and grade and tbis is a sufficient order in law now was tbis law complied with ? i say it was not i insist lhat the ouly orders issued in the fir-t instance were nothing bul newspaper notices and that these notices never reached the colonels of montgomery and stanly at all so that they could not vote in those counties or even know what day the election was oniered on and 1 assert this on the authority of offi cial communications from the colonels ot those counties directed to gov manly in the form of official cbargps and complaints and banded to me for perusal by mr gailher and upon the authority of those and ether papers and ex hibits filed iu the adjutant general's office i further say lhat nol only the officers but many of lhe private citizens of those counties were indignant at what they regarded as an attempt to stifle the voice of iwo sovereign counties and thus virtually disfranchise them and such ihey believed was col wheeler's desire and the sequel bas shown whether ihey were not correct in their opinion 1 have heard ihese complaints again and again and i was told by lbe members of the legislature from ihose counties that they were general and that for a commission to issue placing them under the command of an individual who was unwilling tbey should have an opportunity of voting would he a monstrous outrage on the rights of tiee men and would never be submitted to they thought as everv man i have heard speak of lhe matter thinks who knows the facts tb.it lbe governor by issuing a commission to col w heeler under ch peculiar circumstances would not only hare violated the law but also the plainest principles of republican govern ment l.y thus fisting upon lhc brave soldiers of the divisii n a man who had onlj received before the returns were complete a mere plu rality of rotes and whom a majority ot the voters of sai 1 division bad pronounced at the ballot box with somi emphasis as not meriting their support but i insist further that upon lhe law quoted and the existence of these facts that the first order of gen neal was not only not legal but absolutely anil and r id as to montgomery and stanly they weri not such as lhe colonels commandant of those regi ments could have been punished for disobeying — they not having in fact been forwarded or received it may therefore be ass jm^d as true lhat no ord-.-rs weie issued at all to tlmse regiments in the first instance and was gov manly of the adjutant genera to blame for his ! surely not the mistake originated wiih gen neal and by him it o'l^bl lo have been corrected and by him it was cone ted as before mention ed there was no necessity of ordeting the election in other parts of liis biigade or of the division over again : for it there had been any irregularity of orders in other parts of the di vision they had been cured by a knowledge of the time of tbe election by the different regi ments having actually voted and by no com plaint baling been heard in any olher quarter either from tbe oflicers or otherwise and he sides the law does not ieq-iire the election to be held on the same day throughout a brigade but such limes as the commanding officer shall direct now in this case there was a remedy and the law i have alluded to points il ou with out such icmedy candidates for this oflice would be at the mercy and entire disposal of subal terns who could order the elections in some parts of a division and suppress it in others just as they mighl desire to serve a iriend or grossly wrong an enemy i have now made good my • proposition tbat gen neal's first notice was ■no order at a but a tnere nullity — and that therefore my returns wore in in due time ant according to law since no commission coulc legally issue until bis supplemental return . reached raleigh and the case stands thus : the adjutant general and the governor pur sued the law and performed their duty and i stand acquitted of censure by every jusl and fair-minded man so far as any farther defence of my official acts is necessary i might stop did i rot stand pledged to show lhal my delay in making re turns although of no importance was never theless unintentional .- and were it not that upon this very point col wheeler holds the following t tnguage in his letter under consid • eration : — " 1 waited until the legislature ad , journed and i ih°n learned th it jen leach had made no report and had declared he would make none.1 now what mispresentations in tei meddlers may have made lo him 1 care not : for i am able fortunately to prove ibis state ment is untrue : lhat it not only carries on its face when understood its own refutation but that there are olher undeniable proofs of its falsity now the readers of the passage of colonel wheeler's letter which i have just quoted as well as those parts of it demanding without any cause but with cool effrontery a court mar tial on me would very naturally suppose es pecially after the news of the overwhelming avalanche from davie that the redoubtable colonel had swept my brigade horse loot and drag-ions !" thai after having received such a vote in davie as excites his own astonishment and lhat too where he bad never never been : but where only the blasts of fame's trump had sounded his name and proclaimed his military f»enius ; surely it would be supposed lhat his presence in the other counlies of my brigade together with his flaming speeches on war and blood — mexico and gm pillow ! — would have secured to him a tiiumphat major ity besides it is alleged that my object was to elect gen gailher and defeat him col wheeler and therefore i would not report — had " declared i would not now after all ihis fanfaronade of col wheeler whal wili the public think when tbey learn the fact lhat gen gaither received ( i javie included a clear majority in my brigade of 29 votes ! and that if i had nol repotted wheeler would have been elected and gaither defeated by some two or thtee votes so therefore lhe facts are i did report and that report resulted in the election of gen gaither a most worthy and high-minded gentleman bul i am able to show lo a still fuller de monstrate n how untrue this is and at the same lime prove beyond controversy that my delay in making returns teas imt intentional although ihey were made in due lime i carried wilh me to raleigh as i thought the returns ot the colonels commandant o rny brigade lor tbe purpose ot reporting at s..me i isjre time during tbe session and i sup pose that coi wheeler however captious and cavelling where i am concerned ii 1 bold me lo a stricter account lhan gen n al whom he so highly comjiimenis up lot tirn of his second order he made his return to the adjutant general the 23d of deccm.-.-r i cannot be complained of therefore up to that time the only reason i bad for making a re port dnriro-f session was that it would take but iitlle lime and save the trouble of transmitting bv mail and tbat i would have it to do some lime in conwi«a!ion with gen haywood about lhe la^t of december or the first of jan uary he remarked i had not made rny refirns that the others h^d come in a short time be fore we ihen spoke of what had been beard and said as to montgomery and stanly cunties atid both thought that gen neal ought at once to amend his return and give those counties lhe privilege of voting 0:t separating i totd bim i would bting up lhe papers whenever i thought of it at my quarters accordingly a lew after i did so aud wenl to lhe adjutant gener ai's office he was not in i returned t the llouse of commons nnd deposited lhe paper in the drawer a mv seat ivj»ere they reman some iwo weeks or more entirely forgotten and lhe best apology lo col wheeler is lhat when lhe house was not in session i was a mos.t constantly engaged on the judiciary or internal improvement committee ; or election eering " might anil main by day and by night for the location of the lunatic asylum at my town ; which by ibe aid of friends we sue ceed«-d at one lime iti gelting ; but which af terwards on a re consideration of lhe vote we lo and truth lo tell i fell a great deal moro in«ere»t iu these matter and in he central rail road and western turnpike a_c and lhe sittings <•! lhe h n.-e thin in that of my report ami returns bul about lhe twentieth or twenty-fifth of january i ag.;in carried the papers to the adjutant general's office and sat down to make my annual re'.urn to bim and also the return of this election and actually commenced it when to my surprise i missed the repnit of the colonel of the 7ih regi ment gen haywo 1 assisted me in search tor it in his oifice i looked for it at my desk and at my quarters did not find it and not recollecting the vote of that regiment i could i bat lime proceed ftriher w hen i reached home i found it having in lbe hurry of departure left it ; and after attend ing court three consecutive weeks i made out my returns and forwarded ihem and this closrd the matter such are lhe material facts of ibis matter fiom beginning to end and i can as i have shewn establish them in every material part by others than myself shewing that col wheeler's complains and charges throughout are gratuitous and without foundation now 1 do not say that col wheeler has as serted knowingly that wliich is false i hope he has not and therefore make no such charge — i can suppose that what i may bave said in ra leigh and elsewhere waa falsely represented to him but this i do say lhal he has endeavored to cast censure on me without any good autho rity for lbe correctness of what be bas said and written to the colonel's pot iry i shall not reply i do not conceive it is •• germaine to the issue and besides i have nol as possibly he bad my shakspeare before me one word in reply lo the article in the •• lincoln courier for i h-»ve heard from re liable sources that the f.ditor ot thai paper is a gentleman and therefore il is my duty lo notice one sentence which he uses — it teads bus : the governor seeing from jen seal's report that staal and montgom ery had not voted although legal orders to vote had been duly vent vtit by gen 7\cal and leach still withholding bis report — instead of making leach report vce now if he is ajust man — and i have beard as much of him — i hope he will retract this language since i have fully shown thai gov manlj has done his duty lhat he had no righl atml no power io make me report — that gen seal's li orders were nut legal — lhat ihe law does not prescribe a time when a brigadier general shall make returns — and in fine tbat the delay on my part was net intentional on a more attentive perusal of the article in thc carolina republican i find it substan tially a transcript of coi wheeler's letters except tbe language is coarse and abusive i shall not therefore reply lo it : for i desire lo have nothing to do wilh that individual or his dirty dollar sft-et incomplete ibis miserable quattlebum farce i have understood lhal col wheeler applied lu lhe supreme court for a mandamus lu com pel gov manly 10 issue a commission to bim notwithstanding he had been beaten and if he never knew i before be ihere probably learned that lbe supreme court had no juris diction in lhe regulation of our militia svstem : and lhat the verdict rendered against bim by the officers of the 4th division would not ba diustrbed by that high tribunal now if the leiiers written and lhe proceed ings had in ihi mailer have lieen carried on lor a political harvest i think the crop to be gathered will he exceedingly smai ; for gov manly's reputation for viriue integrity and in lellectual superiority is loo well established lo be thus affected or lo need any defence : and these wilh other sterling traits of characier make him an honor to lhe stale ; and lhe good old mother mindful of her noblest sons has iu return honored him and if further the object of those leiiers nnd newspaper squibs bave been intended indi rect iy lo injure me politically or as an officer or otherwise lhe failure will be most humilia ting to ibe projectors their aiders and abettors for as to myself i am unpretending unambi tious and litlh known — unlike col wheeler nol even desirous of appearing weekly in the public prints ! but where i am well known these productions have been regarded with pity and contempt i have received loo many tes timonials of es'eem from my friends of both po litical parlies xo fear thai such puisne efforts will injure rne wiih either no longer ago than list summer i an inform those genilerneti that notwiihslanding there was more than a a lull w hig ticket iu the field and when great exertions were made lo defeat me with au ablo and distinguished opponent i was supported bv hundieds ofmy democratic friends who voted

No, the good news is NOT that OP RMC has covered bike parking, but they do.
My wife had been on a blood thinner since about 7 this morning. They can't find any more clots (for example, after a doppler sonogram of her femoral veins and more CT work) so she got discharged tonight, but she has to go see a bunch of docs here in the next week or so. Thanks for the e-mails, comments, and prayers. Hopefully she's out of the woods on this issue.

Have no I deal why I read your blog,guess cause I googled "commuter bike blog" and yours was first that came up.. I am glad your wife is ok...I have decided after many months/years of trying to bike commute to work. 16.1 miles one way...32.2 miles a day...I'm about 30 lbs over weight, hypertension and basically feeling like Iam a slug after being a msce geek for 5 years..was an RN in a ER but that burned me out...ANYWAYS any suggestions before I set out on this new adventour?...

Well, I have no idea why people read my blog either, other than perhaps for my wordplay, or how something interesting (good, or sometimes bad) is always happening. I really feel like I'm writing a novel some days. I've heard others refer to this blog as a "slice of life" - maybe you've got voyeuristic tendencies.
Whatever the case, I'm glad you (and everyone else) stop by.
Your round trip is a little longer than my full round trip, but not by much. I started in September 2006. 10 years of sitting on my butt straight out of high school did me in, and I'd already been driving 2 miles to the bus stop to save on gas and car costs. Taking a bike to the bus was my first step. There's no way I could have ridden 30 miles a day or more when I got started.
Even in the peak of my riding in 2007, getting a full week of 30-mile round trips in was uncommon.
My suggestion is to ease into it. Try riding the route on a weekend to see if you feel like you're biting off more than you can chew. If so, look into public transportation, or drive 2/3 or 1/2 way to work, park your car, then ride the rest of the way for starters.
The only hard and fast rule to bike commuting is that you use a bike to commute. Other than that, this is very free-form stuff. Pick a bike you're comfortable on, pick a method that you're comfortable with, wear clothes you feel like wearing, and enjoy your new commute.
I've tagged most of my own sage advice as Tricks Of The Trade. Other good commuting resources are Commute By Bike and some of the other links I have on the right side of my blog. I'm still relatively new to bicycle commuting, but I think all bike commuters are in a constant state of learning and adaptation.

I began Apron Thrift Girl in what feels like a lifetime ago. It started one cold, June (it was Seattle after all) night. My blog became a wonderful place to create, to share, to meet incredible people and it taught me so much about life. I learned how to take photos properly, how to design banners and buttons, how to buy & sell thrifted finds and how to write from my heart. You are an incredibly, receptive audience and it actually did wonders for my self-esteem.
During the last couple of years, really starting with my mother's death, my heart and soul lost a lot of life. In fact I'm still in a sad place which is really why I'm writing this final blog post on ATG. I need a fresh start. The girl of ATG feels long gone. I've done a lot of growing up in these last 8 years and I'm ready for something new. I wanted a blog and business that really reflected the woman that I have become. I'm still young at heart but my outlook on life has been altered a bit by death and sadness. I think that is why I have chosen to create Antique Curators. I want to really explore my passion with buying and selling antiques. It's a deeper side of the business that explores the history of the items we buy, why we buy it and how we display these trinkets of the past.
For me it isn't about simply making money. If it were I wouldn't be buying vintage gummed labels and old aluminum glitter. I make very little profit off of these items and yet they bring me so much pleasure. A satisfaction that is even difficult to put into words. It's about saving vintage items, cleaning them up or repackaging them and finding the perfect home. I suppose I'd rather be buying paintings that I could sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars but when I walk into a house I buy what feels good to my soul. Does that make sense? People wonder how I sell certain items at the collective I'm in. I guess they are baffled at what can sell vs your old school antique items. My explanation is simple; I buy and sell what I love. I figure that if I love something enough, maybe other people will love it too. Overall this has worked for me.
So here is an introduction to my new thrift world:
A Variety of Subjects will be discussed at Antique Curators
- Antiques & Vintage
- Selling & Marketing
- Displaying Inventory and/or Collections
- Repurposing
- Refinishing/Painting
- The Stories behind the Antiques
- Caring and Preserving Antiques & Collectibles
I'm excited about this change. I hope that writing and sharing again will spark a flame inside me and wake me back up.
Here is my new facebook page. Antique Curators.
I want to thank you all for your support on ATG. Your emails, comments, purchases and sharing your own Thrift Share Monday posts have all been so appreciated. I hope you'll join me on my new adventures. Thanks again and much love.
Til then,
Selena, Apron Thrift Girl

Again, I have a promise to a friend to watch the 4th episode together, and since I lack the ability to understand Japanese that well, I couldn't watch it yet. So I'd like to ask;
Spoiler for A certain character in Higurashi & Umineko:

Here's a translation of episode 4. Just give this file the same name as the raw and place them in the same directory. I'd also suggest opening it and setting the font size from 20 to 30.

Ouka is not Bernkastel at all. It is indeed Hanyuu's daughter, Furude Ouka, the ancestor of the Furude bloodline and the wielder of the Onigari no Ryuuou.
Hanyuu died as a "human", but became a god after what Ouka did (the onigafuchi revering Oyashiro), but the method had to be twisted to gain what hanyuu hoped for... which ultimately didn't go so well.
As for Bernkastel, they mixed up: the one in Higurashi is "Frederica Bernkastel", which doesn't mean it IS Umineko Bernkastel. Theories usually span over the fact there are "3" Rika: The original Furude Rika, Frederica Bernkastel, the one who can travel between the kakera with the memories transfer.
And finally Bernkastel, the one "observing" in the Kakera World (third layer)... it is actually that "narrator" in any kakera world that says to "observe Furude Rika".

Uhm. I apologize for confusing them, but she seemed mighty similar (see pic), and we don't see her introduced by name.
So basically Rika is Hanyuu's own great-great-great (x insert appropriate number) -daughter if I understand it correctly, right? The first female daughter among the consecutive 8 of the Furude daughters (while normally Rika is the 8th) is related to Ouka somehow somewhere in the past, and Ouka is Hanyuu's daughter.
But sorry for bringing that up again, but then why does Hanyuu has her horn, if she's an ordinary human. She is horned (not horny lol ) throughout the flashback in the desert (see pic).
I've always thought she is basically a different species altogether, but if she's a distant relative to even Rika, that proves she can even mix up with humans then. How come she has horns? (obligatory: I'd do her horn, if you know what I mean)
That stuff with the various Bernkastels are mighty confusing :/ . What exactly happens in the hospital-scene here then? And why is loli34's Bernkastel so different in appearance (I mean age-wise) than Umineko Bern? I can't make heads and tails out of that even if I try to think that there are 3 "Rikas"... Did I guessed it correctly in one of the previous examples or it's something completely else?

Yes, Hanyuu is basically the matriarch and ancestor of the Furude. That said, it seems that the generations didn't always turn into several consecutive girls, hence why Hanyuu had to wait thousand years for that.
This is also the reason why several veterans like Rias and me noted Hanyuu's chipped horn: this detail is by no mean "small", since it was Ouka who did that.
Frederica is basically the "collective consciousness" of all Rika who died and got their memories "stacked" after all the tragedies and tortures. However, at some point, Rika "became" Frederica after turning into a "being" totally different from the Human, Furude Rika: that the concept of death is not "unique" but multiple etc.
Gazing at the Kakera, Frederica became jaded and cynical which also "disconnected" her worries regarding one's death at some point, since "she has a reset button" even though she doesn't have much hope to begin with. This is where she considered herself like a "witch", as she is by no mean human, and "jack in" Furude Rika when she is transported in a new Kakera.
The one who says "I will stop this witch stuff" IS Frederica, or "all Rika" who wished not to abandon to their fate and fight on for the successful kakera. After what Rena said, Frederica realized that she almost tried to act like a god, abusing her powers and bothering "comparing" results while it isn't her job to do so: her job is to actually live to her fullest as human.
Therefore, since she is finally back to this world, she can stop considering herself like a god or a witch, thus this comment.
*cough* I should really make a long series of Higurashi Rei articles, but so little time for all of this, while Umineko is impendingly approaching... Dunno if it WILL worth the time.

Thanks Eryops, hmm, did Ni and Kai explains some of this is the anime...? If they did I completely don't recall anything. Given that it been a really long time since I watched both series and don't remember much of anything anymore...if they did explained it, I'd definitely have to go back and marathon both Ni and Kai.

By the way the new desktop pet is out with the new episode.
This time it's just Satoko alone.
Spoiler for Megaupload link:
I don't know whether she interacts with the others though. She didn't notice my other Higu desktop pets yet. (Albeit I'm hoping Rika might throw a chair at her)
Nothing is translated in that, but it's quite easy to figure out how the options are at least. I reckon probably Hanyuu will be the next one.
Ps: If it counts as a warez or something, just delete the link.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Recently, the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) selected MIT Coach Dawn Dill and freshman Anna Kokensparger as recipients of swimming and diving postseason awards. Coach Dill received Coach of the Year honors for her work with Tech's men's swimming and diving program, while Kokensparger was tabbed as Rookie of the Year on behalf of the women's team.
For the second consecutive season, MIT's men's program finished undefeated (8-0) in dual-meet competition. Last month, the Engineers captured the NEWMAC Men's Swimming and Diving Championship crown, their second-straight and fifth-ever conference title.
The Engineers were ranked No. 5 nationally during a mid-season poll, and Coach Dill received national recognition when she and Kathy Milliken, coach of Kalamazoo College, became the first pair of women to lead two men's teams to a top-five spot in any NCAA poll. This is Dill's second Coach of the Year award on the men's side; she also received it in 2006 for her leadership of MIT's women's team.
Anna Kokensparger, MIT's other postseason award-winner, received Rookie of the Year honors from NEWMAC coaches after her impressive performance at this year's conference championship. The freshman won all three of her individual events—the 100 Fly (55.66), 200 Fly (2:04.10) and 200 IM (2:04.90)—in NEWMAC-record fashion. She also picked up another three wins as anchor of the Engineers' relay teams.
Heading into next weekend's NCAA Division-III Championship, Kokensparger's time in the 200 IM is the top time posted this season among event qualifiers. This will be the first time in program history that an MIT swimmer is ranked No. 1 entering the championship meet. She is also ranked in the top-10 in her other individual events, and Kokensparger will swim in Tech's relays as well.
A total of ten male swimmers and five female swimmers will represent the Cardinal and Gray at the NCAA Championship hosted by the University of Minnesota, March 17-20.

There is a saying in Okinawa, "Ichariba choodee," which means, "Now that we've met and talked we're brothers." You might have read this saying in a book or at one of the many Okinawan culture websites. I first heard it at a coffee shop on the way to Yonabaru. I had arrived to Okinawa to visit and train with Sensei Katsuhiko Shinzato, the head of the Kishaba Juku form of Shorin-Ryu. He was kind enough to meet me at the airport and was driving me to an inn conveniently located close to his home where he teaches a small group of students.Before we reached the inn, Shinzato Sensei suggested that we stop at the coffee shop so that we could talk and become better acquainted as this was our first meeting. During the conversation he explained the saying, "Now that we've met and talked we're brothers." The thing is, it was not just a saying to him -- he meant it.When I trained with Shinzato Sensei I felt like a member of his Karate family. I know that I was a visitor and guest. Shinzato Sensei and his students graciously went out of their way to help me get around and with necessities. But I never felt like a stranger or a foreigner, a beginner yes, but never an outsider. I found that Shinzato Sensei and his students welcomed me the same way we do here in Hawaii, with Aloha.This is not an editorial about me. My story is neither special, nor unusual. The point I am making is that Karate students are welcomed in Okinawa, as brothers. When I mentioned this recently at a Karate demonstration for which I was the emcee, I was reminded that I should not only say brothers, but brothers and sisters! I wrote to Shinzato Sensei about this and he confirmed that choodee means siblings in Uchinaguchi (Okinawan), while ikiga choodee means brothers and inagu choodee means sisters.We Karate students are brothers and sisters.Shinzato Sensei mentioned another thing to me at the coffee shop. Japan in generally viewed as a vertical society in which every person knows his place. Okinawa is more of a horizontal society based on mutual respect and assistance. "When the typhoon came," Shinzato Sensei explained, "even the King needed help." This was represented symbolically at the dojo, where the students did not line up in the traditional rows facing the Sensei. Instead, all of the students, including Shinzato Sensei, formed a circle and bowed to each other as a sign of mutual respect.* * *I am reminded again of something Shinzato Sensei told me during my first visit and has repeated many times over the years since. He said, "We can learn together." He did not say, "I am the teacher and you are the student," or "I am the head and you are the lowly slave." He said, "We can learn together." No titles, no positions, no politics. The basis for our relationship is learning and that comes from one thing -- training. You learn by training and by training you learn."

Orcs of the Misty Mountains
The Orcs of the Misty Mountains were a tribe of Orcs settled in the tunnels of the mountains. They harassed the regions around them and eventually occupied Moria.
Their origin, and when they settled those tunnels is not known. Sauron must have taken at least some control over them when he settled in Mordor. By the end of the Second Age they must have done the First Sacking of Gundabad and drove out the Dwarves[source?]. Orcs of Mordor had come among them[source?], and under their command they ambushed and killed Isildur at the Battle of the Gladden Fields in early Third Age.[1]
After the fall of Moria in Third Age 1981, Orcs of the Misty Mountains entered and occupied its ruins.[2] In Third Age 2509, on a trip to Lórien to visit her parents, Celebrian was waylaid by Orcs in the Redhorn Pass. She was captured and tormented, receiving a poisoned wound until her sons rescued her.[3]
Long afterwards, Moria became the seat of an Orc-chieftain named Azog who slew King Thrór of the Longbeards, and so started the War of the Dwarves and Orcs. In Third Age 2793 the Dwarves attacked, assailing and/or sacking one by one all the Orc-holds they could from sacking Mount Gundabad in the north, to the Gladden Fields in the south. Most of the war was fought underground, in the great mines. During the conflict many thousands of Orcs fleeing south through Rohan, trying to claim a refuge in the White Mountains beyond, troubled the Rohirrim for two generations. The war ended with the Battle of Azanulbizar where Azog himself was slain.[2]
The Orcs of the Misty Mountains virtually disappeared as a threat for Eriador and Wilderland but the Dwarves were unable to reclaim Moria. Around Third Age 2747 the Orcs became more bold, daring to invade Eriador. The Rangers of the North fought many battles trying to hold them back, but one party managed to reach the Shire. They were fought off by a party of brave Hobbits under Bandobras Took, who killed their leader Golfimbul in the Battle of Greenfields.[4]
After that, the Orcs lurked among the Misty Mountains, and in Third Age 2941, a group of them under the leadership of the Great Goblin, captured Thorin and Company in the High Pass. They escaped with Gandalf's help, killing the Great Goblin in the process.[5] Soon after, Azog's son, Bolg united the Orcs of the Misty Mountains and led them east to fight the Battle of Five Armies. That battle ended in defeat for the Orcs, and left the Misty Mountains free of them for many years afterwards.[6]
In Third Age 2989 Balin left the Lonely Mountain and entered Moria with other Dwarves to start a colony and restore Moria. The Orcs responded and about 2994, the entire expeditionary force was besieged and destroyed.[3][7]
By the time of the War of the Ring, the Orcs of the Mountains reclaimed Moria but fell under the command of Sauron and Saruman. There were Orcs from the Misty Mountains, in the party that captured Merry and Pippin at Parth Galen.[8]
Legend says that the Longbeards eventually succeeded in recapturing Moria, so the power of the Orcs in the Misty Mountains must have waned considerably after the fall of Sauron if they survived at all.

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. -- Libby Dutton scored 10 of her game high 14 points in the first half as the Smith College basketball team rolled to a 54-38 win over MIT on Saturday afternoon. The Pioneers (7-5, 4-2 NEWMAC) registered their fourth straight league win and sending the Engineers (5-7, 1-5 NEWMAC) to their fifth loss in six games.
MIT took an early 6-5 lead on a three by Tamara Pena, but Smith put the game to bed early with a 12-2 run. Dutton supplied eight points in the critical burst, sandwiching a pair of threes around a fast-break layup that gave Smith a 17-8 lead with 10:46 left in the opening half.
The Pioneers kept their foot on the gas pedal, holding the Engineers scoreless over the final 4:02 while extended the lead to 20 points thanks to four free throws by Rosa Drummond and a layup by Brittany Purington. The hosts took a 34-14 lead at halftime.
Smith kept the intensity up after intermission, as Drummond opened the half with five consecutive points for a 37-16 lead. Sydney Parkmond drained a jumper with 7:07 to play that gave the Pioneers their biggest lead at 26 points, before the Engineers closed the game on a 7-0 run.
Rachel Hunt led MIT with 11 points and six rebounds as Pena racked up eight points, six steals, and a block. Margo Batie posted six boards, four points, and three steals as Anna Merrifield and Stephanie Cooke grabbed five and four rebounds, respectively.
Dutton led all scorers with 14 points on 5-for-9 shooting, while Drummond tossed in 13 points, pulled down a team high nine rebounds, and added two blocks and two steals. Ashani Petrizzi also pulled down nine boards.
Both squads continue conference play at home on Wednesday, Jan. 12. MIT will take on Wheaton College while Smith squares off with Clark University.

Touch a piece of moon rock, see an astronaut in training, or participate in a simulated rocket launch: experience the universe from up close at the Space Center Houston. Take a look behind the scenes of the NASA Space Agency and learn about all aspects of a space mission.
The official visitors' centre of the Johnson Space Center is one of the city's biggest attractions. Many of the Space Center attractions are geared towards children but adults certainly won't be bored as there is plenty to fill an entire day.
It is easy to forget that you are not in a museum. Although it offers plenty of visitor attractions, the NASA building is a working facility. For Mission Control, which monitors all American space missions, it is business as usual. Most people have some idea of what happens here, even if only from seeing the 1995 movie 'Apollo 13' (with Tom Hanks and Kevin Bacon) about the legendary moon mission that had to be aborted. The famous saying 'Houston, we've had a problem' is from that Apollo space mission in 1970 and refers to this mission control centre. Speaking of history, you may also visit the area where contact was made with the Apollo 11 astronauts who were the first to set foot on the moon on 20 July 1969. There have been some nerve-racking moments in here.
Every week visitors have the opportunity to meet a real astronaut at the Space Center and enjoy a 'cosmic' lunch. Arrive early to share a table with someone who has travelled into space. How does being in space affect the body, how exciting is the launch, what does astronaut food taste like and what is it like to be weightless? There is plenty of time to ask all your questions.
Don't forget to visit the Saturn V in the Rocket Park; visitors are dwarfed by the largest and most powerful rocket ever built. The colossus that pushed the Apollo missions beyond the earth's atmosphere is as tall as a 36-storey building. This is one of the 3 remaining Saturn rockets. Together these rockets were essential to fulfil NASA's greatest accomplishments, including the 'one giant leap for mankind' moon landing.

Four golfers earn all-NCMC honors
Four golfers earned all-NCMC honors Wednesday at Indian Foothills Golf Course in Marshall as the team narrowly missed winning the conference title by just three strokes to Moberly.
"We had high hopes going into this competition," coach Lindsey Yancey said. "I have no idea the last time Mexico brought home the NCMC Championship in girls golf, but we knew we had a great shot this year. The girls are taking this tough loss in stride and focusing on Monday, (when) we hope to bring home the district title."
Junior Abby Gooch was the Bulldog's top performer, shooting 94 over 18 holes to earn third-place individually. Seniors Layne Ray and Kaylee Stone tied for fourth at 95 strokes while junior Jessica Slagle shot 96 to earn seventh-place honors. Moberly's Nichole Marquis shot 82 to earn the individual conference title.
"We have been patiently waiting all season for Abby and Jessica to break 100 on a tournament and they really came through yesterday," Yancey said. "I am very, very impressed with the focus and skill with which they played the Indian Foothills course."
The result moves the Bulldogs to 31-7 on the season, improving on last year's impressive 24-11 record.
The team travels to Moberly Monday for the district tournament where the golfers look to take home the district title and earn a berth into the sectional championship. Last year they managed a second-place finish at district before finishing third at sectional and narrowly missing the state championship.

July 2016: My master printer has retired sadly so these prints will never be available again. Such a shame as they were exquisite little prints but the printer gave me no warning of his retirement so I couldn't persuade him to continue or find a way of taking over the printing. The result is these prints are no more. I'm a little sad as I really believed in the quality of these prints but such is life.

Moral Treatment movement
Moral Treatment was an approach to mental disorder based on humane psychosocial care or moral discipline that emerged in the 18th century and came to the fore for much of the 19th century, deriving partly from psychiatry or psychology and partly from religious or moral concerns.
On July 6, 1860, the hospital's board of directors selected Dr. Peter Bryce as the first superintendent at a salary of $2,000 plus rent and household expenses, with the stipulation that he must be married before assuming his duties.
By 1869 Bryce reported to the board of trustees that many new additions had been made to the hospital including a large corncrib, potato house, and houses for the engineer and machinist. He also reported that the farms and orchards had been extended, a bakery added, and the laundry improved.
In 1871 in an attempt to keep up with the latest developments in moral treatment therapy and modern hospital design Dr. Bryce had the Amusement Hall constructed on top of the original Boiler House. Assemblies were held in the hall and patients of both sexes who were able accompanied by their nurses were expected to attend. Entertainments consisted of dramatic recitations, tableaux, tea parties, and dances.
That same year Dr. Bryce recorded that the "pleasure grounds in front, embracing about twenty-five acres, have been enclosed, planted in oaks, evergreens, shrubbery, etc., and to some extent graded and otherwise improved." He also noted that the flower gardens which extended eight hundred feet along the entire front of the building were enclosed by a "neat paling fence." Tending these flowers "furnished the patients with healthy exercise, elevating diversion, and an unfailing, bounteous supply of beautiful flowers."
In 1876 the hospital was illuminated by gas. The original gas lighting system had only been partly installed before the outbreak of the Civil War and had never functioned at full capacity. The new system used coal gas from the hospital's own coal mines. It was so successful that by the following year it ran a pipe to the adjacent University of Alabama and sold gas to that institution for a profit.
In 1879 Dr. Bryce determined to connect the Amusement Hall with the main building. The new structure designed by architect H. A. Master contained a handsome domed Rotunda used as a patient library and reading room on the main floor and additional kitchen facilities on the ground floor.
In February 1881 a legislative appropriation of $100,000 made it possible to build large wings on either side of the original building. The new wings created accommodations for 350 additional patients, thus more than doubling the building's inhabitants. These additions marked the beginning of a steady decline of the influence of the humanitarian, moral treatment principles of Dr. Kirkbride who had insisted that no hospital should house over 250 patients. Unlike the old section the new wings provided double rooms rather than single ones and wards contained between fifty and sixty patients rather than fifteen as Kirkbride had intended in the original hospital plan.

December 8, 2013
The "baby cure" has been hyped and is sensational as a news story. But what may have happened to this child is a sensation and has spawned debates on defining infection with HIV, how eradication of the virus can be proved, and the nature of a health care system in which a mother and her child can so easily slip from medical care.
The dramatic story is well known. A woman in Mississippi presented in labor at 35 weeks gestation. She had no pre-natal care. A rapid HIV test performed during labor found the mother to be HIV seropositive. A viral load drawn the next day was 2,400 copies/mL and a CD4+ cell count taken two weeks later was 644 cells/mm3. The baby was delivered prior to the administration of antiretroviral therapy to the mother. At 30 hours after delivery, the infant received zidovudine, lamivudine and nevirapine (Viramune). At antiretroviral therapy initiation, HIV-1 DNA was detected in the baby's PBMCs (peripheral blood mononuclear cells) and an HIV-RNA level of 19,000 copies/mL was found in her blood plasma. Antiretroviral therapy was modified with lopinavir/ritonavir replacing nevirapine at day 11 following delivery. Over the next few weeks, the infant's HIV-RNA level fell and was undetectable at 29 days. Then, 18 months after delivery, mother and baby vanished. Five months later, both return to clinic and the mother reports not administering antiretroviral therapy to her child over the period they were out of care. Testing of the child, however, reveals no detectable viral DNA or RNA and HIV antibodies are not detected. Follow-up testing up to 36 months of age of the child fails to reliably detect evidence that she is infected.
When first reported at CROI 2013, there was debate as to whether the infant was truly ever infected or instead had maternal virus that was transiently circulating shortly after delivery. The authors of the case report published in the New England Journal of Medicine argue that the persistent detection of HIV RNA in the plasma and the dynamics of the decay of viremia in the baby following antiretroviral therapy indicate infection did occur. They also debunk the theory that passive maternal transfer without active replication could account for prolonged detection of virus in the quantities measured in the infant.
Despite the important and necessary debate regarding what actually happened within the small body of this child in Mississippi, the case report has focused attention on the potential opportunity to avert or even cure HIV infection during delivery. Practically, many are being more aggressive with antiretroviral therapy in babies born to mothers with uncontrolled HIV and studies of such an approach are being launched in the developing world.
The case also has led to the examination of what could account for a cure under the circumstances described. The immaturity of an infant's immune system and a lack of central memory T cells may hinder propagation of the virus and produce a smaller reservoir of virus. As HIV cure efforts continue to ramp up, this case may offer tantalizing clues that can be useful not only for addressing perinatal transmission, but also eradication in older individuals.
While this case of a potential HIV cure may be incredibly special, in another way, the story is all too familiar. The falling out of care of the mother and child is emblematic of a health care system that, for all its costs, fails to deliver to many of those most in need. The details of how the pair became "lost" are not known, but may be important to illustrate the challenges people face in accessing and utilizing health care in our country.
In the HIV cascade describing engagement in care of those living with HIV, the greatest drop along the spectrum that spans detection to suppression of viremia is continued clinic attendance. Our systems for maintaining people in needed health care are anemic and rely on outmoded passive approaches. Engaging patients requires new thinking and the use of available tools that extend beyond a "missed visit" snail mail letter. Creative approaches are being developed and tested to motivate people to attend to their health and overcome competing priorities that form obstacles to care. Clinics too need to soul search and determine if they are welcoming and supportive, rather than intimidating and bureaucratic, and adjust accordingly. Like most things of value, interventions that are effective will cost us money, but chances are they will be worth it.
For this child in Mississippi, it may have all worked out. Other babies who have dropped out of care and not had their infection erased, are not so fortunate. This case suggests that curing our ailing health care system of its failures may be more difficult than curing HIV.
