Kumeta loves his numerical humor, doesn't he? Surprisingly, the first segment actually held onto some sort of continuity from the previous episode, but it was only temporary. Gankyou's as necessary to the cast as everyone else. If she wasn't there, who would punch people? Doesn't mean she can't have a little fun with them because once again, she dominated this episode. Not even Dark Kigu has that kind of sheer presence. The pot shots at K-ON! (such as X-TORT!) and Tetora's wish to get into Kirara made me realize why I like this show a little more than Jinrui at the moment. Both have their share of cynicism and commentary, but Kumeta is, ultimately, a little more warm-hearted. As warm-hearted as a man who wrote Zetsubou Sensei can get, but still.
Seeing the tables turned and Gan as lower than the other four was highly amusing. Kigu should play boss more often. It's a role that fits her. Anime usually has people in positions of authority also being cute, so she's a natural fit for the role. That closing gag with everyone in S&M positions brought back memories. At this rate, Gan just may outstrip Chiri as "most insane Kumeta character" (though that's a very very very very close race.)
With KoiChoco currently airing (and having had two episodes at once this past week), not to mention the upcoming US election, the closing segment was especially fun to watch. I don't think I've seen Gokujou Seitokai referenced in another anime before, so kudos to that. Who did the prime minister of space (that sounds like a rejected Katamari Damacy character) sell the Earth to, anyway? Slartibartfast? So glad to be mostly caught up with this show.

First part of episode 6 struck a chord with me, because I have 3 brothers and we used to talk about how having four of us seems just right.
What's the hierarchy within the girls? Kigu is clearly the youngest and most junior, but what about the rest?

Tetora surely is older than Kukuru.
So it must be:
I know it's a long shot, but I think it's pretty much like this.

Age-wise, Kukuru is clearly the youngest since it seems she's not old enough to drink alcohol
Also makes sense the way everyone treats her as the 'cute little kid' since she's so much younger than everyone else.
Gankyou and Tetora are the same age since you see in the flashback in episode 3, both attended the same school together all the way from elementary to high school.

What matters the most is, obviously, the person's performance. We can guess that Gankyo ,Mari and Tetora are all the same age but Tetora is not as good as the other two on stage and that's why she still isn't a Futatsume.
Here's a piece of text about this:
"After three to five years, assuming that satisfactory progress has
been made, the zenza is promoted to futatsume, whereupon he may
wear the haori, no longer has to perform chores, and must now earn
his own living by his art, no longer receiving an allowance from the
I admit that I overlooked the flashback on episode three, so I thank you for this piece of info. At last, their age relationship must be like this, then:
I may be wrong since it's just a guess, but judging by the info the anime gives us, it must be close to the right answer.

If a 40-year old suddenly newbie suddenly joined at the same time as a 25-year old, she wouldn't end up being ranked above the other just because she's older.
I just felt the way you worded it before was as if you were deciding rank purely on how old everyone was, which I felt was in error since there's a lot of factors involved in age that doesn't relate to rank at all. It would only become true if this specific 5 girls all started Rakugo there at the same exact age only in different years.

It's been a while, but I welcome the return of Dark Kigu. Usually the second sketch of any episode is the weakest, but I found this episode's to be stronger than usual. Or maybe that has to do with Marii wearing a hat and overalls that accentuate her ass. I can honestly say I like that look on her. The discussion of what kanji to use to represent someone was a lot of fun to watch. If what Kukuru said about her backstory is true, then... she's a perfectly normal Kumeta character.
How the first segment went from the pentathalon to Marii being a shut in made perfect sense, even if the beginning and end points are almost entirely unrelated. All the things they said about delinquents were spot on, including the kanji. Most of my knowledge on this comes from Axanael and the character of Sakura, but that's the power of media. Information absorbed in one medium can prove useful in another.
The third segment was a great exercise in subtle humor. It's like the Japanese version of living on an ancient Indian burial ground. The bright, ordinary dressing room is creepy as hell. The final twist of Kigu being a robot - explaining her sudden motherly demeanor with the apron - was funny (Kigu Beam!). For ~24 minutes, it felt like it was over in no time at all.

Awesome 7th episode of Joshiraku.
The first segment was amusing with the deliquent bit and Mari becoming the leader of the troupe. Which feels weird considering that Gankyou seems more fit for the role due to her being more stronger than Mari, and each episode has proven that point. The comic panel added to the "feel" of the scene was amusing and really creative. When they were taking about the Legends of whatever, I thought that a Legend of Zelda joke would've been added to the mix, just for sheer kicks and giggles.
The second was weak but the conversations were fun to listen too. Kukuru not minding a life of darkness, and the "butt" reference to Mari was interesting and uniquely funny. It was definitely nice to see dark Kigu again, she needs to appear more often.
The third and final bit was interesting considering that Kukuru was noticing a few things "off" with the space they work in and the others not noticing or just pretending not to notice what they saw to keep the original task at hand ie. Finding the source of what's using up the electricity etc. The walls with the eerie faces and talismans, the sweaty sumo wrestler in the floor, and some creepy looking rats, I wonder what happened in that one room considering that weird high jinx happen in there most of the time. Gankyou having the DBZ sensors in her glasses, nice surprise and gag regarding the glasses thing that keeps getting referenced, and the ending was a unique surprise with the robot Kigu being the source of the over usage of the electricity.
The best segment was the first one because of the uniqueness of the conversational flow and the delinquent play bit made it even more amusing.
Overall amazing episode and I can't wait for the next one which ironically enough is released but not subbed yet. Why must this show get the least love and attention, it's just too awesome to pass by.

RHODE ISLAND -- To every small business out there: the biggest scam out there for contractors right now! Just signed up to them 6 days ago 3/9/2016. They provided me with 4 dead leads so I put a hold on it because I smelt something wrong so I went on the internet and did a little research (which I should have done before. They had a name before with such bad reviews - Service Magic - they changed the name because of it, now their name is bad again).
So told them I am not satisfied 3/15/2016 with their network and wanted a somewhat of a refund back. They told me there are no refunds after 3 days, when I was told 30 days. $460.00 Down the drain. Shame on me. Now it's time to spread the news to everyone. Please share this and get the word out. That these people are stealing money from hardworking contractors. Advice I can give you: research these companies that say they can help you out with your business.
Service magic will not give you any monies owed to you. The will take money out of your account, but will never give it back even if it is their mistake!!! The leads they supply are only shoppers that want to waste your time and shop for the cheapest lowest priced work they can get. The customers will lie, run you around and waste your time. Watch out!!!! The leads are terrible. They will tell you anything to get your business. It all sounds good, but no one that I know who has used them has been happy.
LEVITTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA -- I used to be a Service Magic Contractor. I had great reviews and earned them. I am saddened but not surprised that I am reading about Service magic doing unethical things. They abuse the contractors in a big way financially. Basically they are a huge ripoff to small contractors even if they are good ones such as myself. Repeat leads, people who have no intention of doing any work, people who ask for return visits for new estimates on the same work, people who do not return phone calls and emails.... and an absolutely horrible system for making good on bad or mistaken leads. Service Magic stinks all the way around.
GOLDEN, COLORADO -- My company was contacted by Service Magic YEARS ago. They claim to offer pre-qualified screened leads for services that we offer in our area. They charge up front for the name and phone number of the lead. Years later we are still getting emails, phone calls and many spam faxes from this company for very iffy maybe leads hundreds of miles away for types of work our company does not do, nor ever has done.
The more I email them and tell me to take me off their email and fax list, the more they call, fax, email and harass. Their office help is nice and polite, but insist you talk to their sale staff who are pushy, nasty, rude, loud, hateful. I have had to resort to threatening to have a cease and desist order placed against them to keep them from filling my fax machine with a dozen pages of unqualified leads hundreds of miles away that are probably phoney on top of it. When I talk to other contractors at contractor meetings they tell me of similar experiences, hundreds of dollars in draws from their checking accounts for leads that no-one ever answers the phone.
I just got a lead that said they were considering buying a house and want to know how much a fence would cost before they placed a bid on one. This was 130 miles away in an area that has 74 fence contractors by my count in the yellow pages. What kind of lead is that?
GOLDEN, COLORADO -- This company monopolizes the search engine when consumers try to search for reliable contracting service. They talk a good game at first, they bombard you with contractors that supposedly can handle the job. But they fall very short in delivering qualified, reliable, dependable, and honest contractors.
The contractor they sent to us, which is who we hired, is taking 4 months to finish our renovations. He does shoddy work, leaves debris outside, doesn't show up on time, and sometimes doesn't show up at all. Service Magic hasn't tried to help us resolve our issue and they will ignore your calls until you mention that you will be contacting ConsumerAffairs about their practices. Whatever you do, do not use this company. They are just as shady as the contractors they send to you.
SARASOTA, FLORIDA -- I am a small business owner trying to make it in this economy. I was delighted to find a company like Service Magic who would send me real leads. I started using Service Magic 10 months ago. The first 3 months I only received a few leads and got some good ones so it paid off. After that all I receive are useless leads, and hundreds of them. 3 a day or more. I haven't gotten one lead in 6 months. Service Magic will not turn my account off. I have $500.00 in overdraft fees from this company. They make up these leads, you get one or two real people and the rest are phony. Don't use this company, it will hurt you in the long run.
ELYRIA, OHIO -- Have been a contractor for 25 yrs. I always worked by my reputation. A salesman from Service Magic talked me into taking ONE lead. If it worked out, I would take more. The first lead was a dud. I called the salesman to cancel, of course he was not in. Meanwhile, more leads kept coming in. I called back again to cancel. By the time I finally talked to my salesman, they had my account to $800.00. I only made 2 calls to 2 leads and no one ever called me back on either calls. I closed my checking account before they could take any of my money for any of the leads.
The funny thing is they stopped giving me leads because I owed them money. It was the only way I could get them to stop giving me more leads. They refused to cancel my contract of One lead. Now I owe them even more because of attorney fees. As the saying goes, LET THE BUYER BEWARE.
Hi Armymom8088,
My name is Chelsey Richey and I am the Online Customer Liaison here at ServiceMagic. I am very concerned to hear about your experience and would like the opportunity to speak with you in regards to the issue. If a mistake is made on our part we gladly accept the responsibility and adjust accordingly; please contact me directly so that we can go over your account together. I can be reached at email@example.com or at 303.963.8145. I look forward to speaking with you.
Thank you kindly,
Chelsey Richey
Their leads are predominantly bad, unqualified leads. Over and over again they charged or attempted to charge us for leads that were wrong address, wrong phone number, and wrong email addresses. Often the "customer contact" didn't even own the property in question, and had no authority to make any improvements to it.
When we finally gave up on these losers, they refused, yes REFUSED to stop sending and charging us for leads after we told them several times that we no longer would be using their service. I finally had to change my credit card number so that they couldn't charge it anymore.
They routinely sent and billed for more leads than we authorized to be sent each month. 4. They continued to try to charge us for leads even after I changed the credit card number, then have continued to send threatening emails and make threatening phone calls if we don't pay for leads they sent literally MONTHS after we discontinued their service.
Under NO circumstances would I recommend that ANYONE do business with these crooks. You literally do better going door to door than using their leads, and you won't have the aggravation of having them try to steal from you the entire time.
WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA -- Service Magic in West Palm Beach FL. I called what I thought was a number listed on a website for sprinkler system repairs and ended up with this company called service magic. The person I spoke to did not identify himself as anything but the company I called ____ sprinkler systems. I asked a lot of questions and after a while I asked what he needed all this information for. All I wanted was a simple repair.
He then identified himself as a representative of SERVICE MAGIC. He explained that they take all the information and build a profile and put into their database so they can have other contractors call. In other words they sell your contact information to whatever firms or marketing organization that are willing to pay.
BE VERY AWARE OF WHOM YOU ARE TALKING TO AND WHAT INFORMATION YOU ARE GIVING THEM. If they do not identify themselves and or the purpose of the information they are taking from you they are violating a number of laws. Contact the FCC as well as your state attorney's office with the complaint.
All companies that operate across state lines are require to have licenses. They should be able to tell you what it is and you will use it in filing your complain. If they refuse or don't have it file the complaint on whatever information you can get from them.

I started with this service in Nov 08 under the impression I would be receiving qualified leads. They had a disclaimer for payment but the sales people stated the leads would be ready to go customers. I paid their fee & received 'leads' almost immediately. This was a bathroom remodel looking for budget numbers. All he wanted was a ballpark figure for summer 2009. That cost me $25.
The second lead was for a roof replacement. We went to the site to do an estimate. This roof was a large, steep Victorian that needed replacement years ago. After speaking with the owner I knew there was no funds. I sent them to the County Dept of Community Development for a grant and offered to put a tarp on for $500. She didn't even have the money for that. I paid another $25 for her call.
Our next lead was similar so I complained to Customer Service and they suggested changing my demographic. I did and received a request to modify a trailer whose floor was failing (not likely to have funding), several other leads fishing for prices and one viable lead which (also provided to 3 or 4 other local contractors). Service Magic has no idea who their customers are and if they are qualified. In January & $500 later I said enough was enough.
I have been receiving Spam, 'Surveys' and phone calls from Customer Service to the point of harassment trying to get my business back. I paid for something they implied in their sales & did not provide and I get harassed for discontinuing service. The $500 for 'advertising' with Service Magic & provided $0 in sales and only one qualified lead.

A Chinese company called PEAK has signed a five-year sponsorship deal with the WTA Tour. In an article for the Associated Press, Anita Chang characterizes PEAK as a company that is cash rich in China, but is none by "virtually no one outside of the country."
The company's only office outside of the mainland is housed in Hong Kong (a Chinese holding) and their web site leaves much to be wondered about what this brand will bring (other than more cash) to the table for women's tennis. NBA player and former Duke star Shane Battier graces the site in promotion of the "Battier III" shoes.
Our favorite shoe is posted above, a pair of casual kicks in China-inspired red and a European look. Chang notes the company is worth $6 billion and quotes their CEO as saying they'd like to "catch and surpass" the sale numbers of Nike.
While Li Na might have beaten Maria Sharapova at Birmingham this weekend (another good sign for Chinese tennis and a market of 1.3 billion fans), they both played while wearing – you guessed it – Nike.

April 1, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The nationally-ranked No. 11 MIT men's volleyball team wrapped up regular-season competition with a 30-20, 30-19, 30-16 win over Wentworth Institute of Technology in a non-conference match on Tuesday. With the win, the Engineers improved to 24-10 overall while the Leopards closed their campaign with a record of 3-15.
In the opening frame, MIT established an 8-5 edge. Following its own timeout, Wentworth posted five straight points behind strong serving from Lowell Jesmer. The Engineers countered with four consecutive points, but the Leopards quickly knotted the contest at 12. A three-point spurt gave MIT some breathing room however Wentworth continued to attack and trailed by two as late as 19-17. The Engineers responded by scoring 11 of the last 14 points to close out the game.
The early stages of the second stanza were closely played as the Leopards nearly forced three ties. A service error coupled with a block helped MIT increase its lead to 16-10. Wentworth cut its deficit in half, but that was as close as it would get as the Engineers mounted a 14-6 run to finish out the frame.
In the final game, the Leopards came within one point on two occasions, the last coming on a service error that made the score 9-8. MIT thwarted Wentworth's attempt at generating a rally by posting five consecutive points before finishing off the match with a 15-6 run.
Praveen Pamidimukkala tallied 10 kills in two games as Malcolm Bean collected seven kills and four blocks in one game. Scott Pollom notched six kills, five blocks, and three aces while Michael Demyttenaere contributed seven kills and three blocks. Ryan Dean racked up 31 assists, four digs, three aces, and three blocks. Eugene Jang and Matthew Ng rounded out the defense with six and three digs, respectively.
Jesmer paced Wentworth's attack with six kills while Jeff DeMartin led the defense with 15 digs.
MIT will continue play on Friday, April 6 in the first round of the NECVA Championship Tournament which will be hosted by Ramapo College. The No. 9-seeded Engineers will take on No. 8 Hunter College at 8:00 p.m.

GM Marketplace demonstration in the 2018 Buick Regal Sportback [Video]
A couple weeks ago, General Motors revealed a new in-car system called Marketplace that allows you buy things like coffee while you're driving.
If you're like us, your initial thought is: Wow! That's a car crash waiting to happen.
So, when we had the opportunity to sit through a demonstration at the 2018 Buick Regal Sportback press preview, we jumped at the chance -- and got a free cup of coffee for our efforts.
As you will see in the video below, the system requires some back-end work on the user's part, such as setting up favorites in the app on your mobile phone -- while you're stationary. Then, when you're driving a long and and the 2 p.m. coffee craving kicks in, it's just tap, tap and go.
The system was designed to be used while driving and is less distracting that it would seem.

THOSE DAYS ARE GONE (song with vocals)
DESCRIPTIONA hard hitting, powerful rock song (with a tinge of country). The lyrics speak for themselves, it's a song about loss of love, which is something almost all of us can relate to.
The song features aggressive male vocals, accompanied by driving rhythm guitar. The track also has a lot of strong melodic riffs (as well as the vocals) which helps keep it flowing from one section to another.
There are 2 versions of the track, described below.
VERSIONS1. TITLE: Those Days Are Gone
Length: 4:13
Description: The full unedited version of the track.
2. TITLE: Those Days Are Gone – Instrumental
Length: 4:10
Description: The same track, but with no vocals.
Just knock back and sell my sleep
I don't remember when I got too deep but
Those days are gone
Shelter me now my memory's black
Hold me, now tell me what I lack
comforts gone and it ain't coming back
Those days are gone
I remember how I did you wrong
All the women and the night and the drinks are strong
Cant go back cause it's been too long, no
Those days are gone
I can still see you every night
see you coming home with him and turning off the light
Used to be me that had you every night but
Those days are gone
Sugar won't you holler won't you touch my soul
Sing it like silence, breathe it out could
Hard like a grudge, make it black like coal
Sweet like the lighter, sweet like the bowl
Sing it through the sunlight, sing it through the rain
Sing it through the joy and sing it through the pain
Sing it like it was when I still had a song
Sing it to remind me those days are gone
Push to hard and you just know I'll slip
Stand me back up, but you know I'm gonna trip
Used to be a smile that'd cross my lips but
Those days are gone
Lots of ways for you to break a man
I've seen them all and even done the ones I can
Used to be I knew when I was breaking bad but
Those days are long long gone
CHORUS 2 (same as above)
Don't have nothing can't be taken away
Keep on talking, I've got nothing to say
Used to recognize me but I know you forgot
I don't know what I am but I remember what I'm not
I know you don't see me when you're out in the sun
But staring down the barrel now all that's done
There once was a time when I don't pull that gun but
Those day are gone
CHORUS 3 (same as above)
FINALLYTrack available in both WAV and MP3 format. Please contact me if you need additional music editing.
Thanks for listening. I hope you will find a good use for this track in your projects.

dmca, isps, notice and takedown, streisand effect
Greg Beck writes in to let us know about the latest example (in a long line) of DMCA abuses. In this case, a home building company, Powermark Homes, is upset about a website called Powermarkhomessucks.com. Now, there's a long legal history around the legality of so-called sucks sites -- and in most cases, they're perfectly legitimate. However, that battle hasn't even played out yet. While it's pending in court, the company took a second route to knock the sucks site completely offline with no judicial review whatsoever: filed a DMCA complaint with the ISP hosting the site, alleging copyright infringement on the site. The "infringing" content in question isn't even infringing. It's a photo that was included as part of the court filings in the case and is taken from a trade magazine (who most likely owns the copyright). However, thanks to the wonders of the notice and takedown system, the ISP is required to take the content down for at least 10 days to avoid liability. So down goes the site, despite no infringing content and without any kind of judicial review -- while the actual case sits and waits in court. As Beck notes, this is likely to come back to hurt Powermark Homes, because filing a false DMCA takedown notice can get you in all sorts of trouble. Then, of course, doing so also has a bit of a Streisand Effect as well, as a lot more folks are suddenly hearing that there are at least some folks out there quite unhappy with Powermark Homes.

Why don't we hear...about the bullies getting punished for this stuff? We all know it's against the law, and yet there's no headlines stating "Company X to pay Z-million dollar fine."
If we know that it's wrong to use the DMCA for this, then why do lawyers still get away with doing it? For they, above all, should know this is illegal not to mention schmarmy legal tactics, but I repeat myself.
Chronno S. Trigger, 11 Oct 2007 @ 7:20am
Powermark Homes?Never heard of them before, but now I know they suck. Thank you, stupid DMCA claims. :P
shmengie, 11 Oct 2007 @ 7:20amthis is 10000% streisand effect, fer sure. i never heard of powermark homes before. now, i know to stay clear if i ever need a home with a power mark on it.

DMCA Abused To Get Sucks Site Taken DownSimply host them on an overseas ISP, not so easy to get taken down that way
Medbob, 11 Oct 2007 @ 7:27am
There is a solution....There is a procedure in the DMCA where the person affected in the takedown can counter-notify the ISP that the DMCA request was not valid or legal, and an get the access turned back on quickly. A lot of folks don;t know about this provision, but it's an important part of the protections built into the DMCA by those who opposed it. These folks need to get a lawyer that understands this counter-notification process....
Mike, 11 Oct 2007 @ 8:21am
Re: There is a solution....However, if you read the article, you'll see that the counter-notice was already provided, but due to the requirements of the DMCA, the site must stay offline for 10-14 days in order for the ISP to retain it's immunity.
The end result is that the original complainant in this instance gets a de facto 10-14 day temporary injuction without any judicial oversight.
Great job there Congress... :-(

I'm going to have to stop......reading about these takefown notices. Every time I do, I get really annoyed about how these companies are abusing the system and just want to see it backfire on them.
These are basic human rights they are trying to control.
Anonymous Coward, 11 Oct 2007 @ 7:38amI would really like to know what goes through the heads of people running these companies. It should be blindingly obvious that by sending a takedown notice for such a site, they are stomping on the right to free speech that we hold so dear, and by doing so are tarnishing their public image FAR more than a "sucks" site ever could, all by themselves. These people really need to hire better PR staff, hopefully some that have at least an ounce of common sense.

Shouldn't the headline have been...Construction company lies, techdirt uses as excuse to bash copyright protection.
Overcast, 11 Oct 2007 @ 8:32amNeed a couple of good 'Wrongful take down' suits.
And yes - the "Streisand Effect" comes into play. Any company that files a questionable take-down notice has questionable ethics, IMO. Too much competition to consider them.
I'd rather review both sides of the issue and make my decision. Now, since the 'opposition' has been silenced, I can only assume they were silenced because their complaints were legit.

As much as I hate to say it...But I think that if the people behind Powermarkhomessucks.com can prove that Powermark Homes knowingly sent a bogus DMCA notice to knock the site offline then the people behind Powermarkhomessucks.com should sue Powermar Homes and criminal charges should be brought against Powermark Homes.

BoringI went to the Powermark Homes website, and the homes do look as if they suck, boring.
Anonymous Coward, 11 Oct 2007 @ 8:41amNo Powermark homes for me! Not after this weasel stunt...
but "Powermark" sounds like they make double-wides, perhaps? Not the moniker of a high-end home builder.
Spam 'em to death, 11 Oct 2007 @ 8:49amEveryone should spam PowerMark with thank-you's for letting everyone know they suck by making Powermarkhomessucks.com a news item. Who are the dipsticks advising this company?
BigDogRMF, 11 Oct 2007 @ 9:34am
'Suck" websites...Interesting...
I;m about to do this to a well-known grocery chain keeps closing my case without resolution or even contacting me.
Nice Customer Service. Here comes my website.
Crappy Customer Service... Same effect.
Doug B., 11 Oct 2007 @ 9:54am
Paint me a little confused, but...before reading the article and after reading this blog entry, I thought Powermark issued the DMCA take-down because the sucks site shows an 'unauthorized' image from Powermark's court filings (which I presumed were 'copyrighted'). The article makes it more clear that the edited image in the court filings came from the sucks site, which in turn may have taken the original from the Powermark site.
In the end it's still a bogus take-down because even though Powermark may be using the image with permission, they likely do not own the copyright for the image.
Does that sound about right?

Powermark Homes Suck ThisWhen will companies figure out that the best way to deflect criticism is just to simply ignore it? Besides, those interested in purchasing double-wide tin cans don't know how to read, so I seriously doubt that the company's bottom line would have been negatively impacted by the existence of a web site named PowerMarktrailerhomessuck.com.
Killer_Tofu (profile), 11 Oct 2007 @ 10:01am
Oh, I didI sent them an email, here are the contents:
"Good afternoon,
I just wanted to say how thankful I am that you guys filed a false DMCA takedown notice to the corresponding Sucks website (powermarkhomessucks.com).
Now I know all about how the sucks site must have been very true for you guys to file a fake takedown notice.
I have never heard of you guys until this, but now I have.
And if I ever end up in an area you service and build, I know to completely avoid you guys.
On top of that, for adding to the problem of corporations filing false claims, I hope you guys get fined out of the business.
Thank you and have a shitty day."

Re: Oh, I didThat was beautiful. I am tearing up at this very moment.
Honestly... It seems that no one today can take criticism. Sure, when we are kids, we are taught to "say nice things", "give constructive criticism", etc. They must carry that too far to where since no parents/teachers are around, they go tattle to some higher authority.
Honestly, if someone feels strongly enough about your horrible service to build a whole web site dedicated to it, you are obviously doing SOMETHING wrong (even if it is as simple as not clarifying to the customer how you are NOT at fault in a given situation if you really did nothing wrong).
watcher, 11 Oct 2007 @ 10:45am
DMCAHere's another email to them: Hi, I just wanted to thank you for bringing a false DMCA takedown notice against powermarkhomessucks.com. I had never heard of your company, but thanks to your illegal takedown notice and the subsequent buzz generated on the Internet, everyone on the planet knows. You do know about that thing called the Internet, don't you? Since you so adamantly oppose this "sucks" site, the content of said site must be fairly accurate, huh? Have a few skeletons hiding in that closet? Thankfully, I don't believe you operate anywhere in the southeast US, so I'll likely never have to see your product, but if you ever think of expanding my way, please rest assured that I will not want to look at any of your properties, and will tell all my friends and family what a sleazy outfit you are running. Lastly, because you choose to compound the epidemic of companies filing false claims like schoolyard bullies, may you be convicted for this fraudulent takedown notice, and pay whopping fines and attorney fees. I do feel sorry for the employees of your firm who have nothing to do with the utter stupidity of the managment droid who decided to issue the takedown. Hopefully these workmen will find gainful employment with a reputable builder who is not engaged in illegal activity. Have a wonderful day! www.xenu.net

My letter!Here's the email I sent them:
Dear Powermark Homes
Today I read about your shameful and cowardly takedown of a website that was simply excercising its first amendment right to free speech.
Just because that free speech happens to paint a negative picture of your company does not entitle you, legally or morally, to silence that voice. If anything that was said of you was slanderous or libelous, you could have sued the person on those grounds... but abusing a law (the DMCA) to get a "quick and dirty" solution to the thorn in your side makes your company look far worse than any ranting and raving website every could.
By now I am sure you understand the consequences of your actions... not only can you be sued for illegal use of the law, the story of what you have done has begun to trailblaze its way across the internet, bringing news of your company's abuse to a far greater audience than the website you took down ever could have hoped to.
You have just insured that millions of people will find out how much Power Mark Homes really does suck.
Good job!
Killer_Tofu (profile), 11 Oct 2007 @ 11:16am
Just Imagine ...how they must feel. I am sure it was not just us three who have sent emails so far. And I doubt we will be the last.
They are probably thinking "Oh shit I wish I didn't let me lawyer do that".
Flooded with emails of people who know to never use them because of this. Such a beautiful thing.
I bet the person who set up the Sucks site is probably laughing their as- off by now.
I am assuming they know about the article here since it was their lawyer (based on knowledge gained from archived site linked in #21) who sent the news to Techdirt here. Thank you TechDirt!

Fight fire with fireIt seems to me that you can send a takedown notice to powermarkhomes.com 's ISP claiming that they are infringing on your copyright.
Anonymous Coward, 11 Oct 2007 @ 3:33pm
This is about more than a sucks sitePowermark Homes shouldn't abuse the DMCA, but apparently this started of powermarkhomes.net where trademark law MAY be on their side. Once the site owner was forced out of the .net domain and went with sucks, Powermark homes should have taken the win and quit.
Any company of size is going to have unhappy customers. Using lawyers to silence them is nuts.
Speaking Out, 11 Oct 2007 @ 6:32pm
Tell Lawyers How you Feel!After seeing this blog I did a little digging and if you are interested you can get all of facts and much more about Powermark Homes and this DMCA takedown at the Consumer Policy & Policy Blog operated by the Public Citizen Org. who is apparently providing the website operator with free legal representation. This Consumer & Policy Blog has links and other court filings to read and it now seems to me that Powermark Homes is truly a shady operation and considering that their lawyers filed a DMCA Claim over a photo used by powermarkhomessucks.com used on their website when they were the ones who used it as Exhibit A in their lawsuit against the website operator. Essentially it was the lawyers ( ) who made it a matter of public record and now they want to punish the website operator for something they did. It is actions like this that gives lawyers a bad image so I guess powermarkhomessucks.com is lucky to have the Public Citizen Org. on their side. If you want to see the actual photo they the claim violates the DMCA open this PDF of the Powermark Homes Lawsuit and go to (Page 5) Evidently the PowermarkHomesSucks Site had another website before this and on that website they had used part of a photo which appears to be taken from a trade magazine and the lawyers used a screen capture of that page from the 1st website as Exhibit "A" in their lawsuit and then they had that website shutdown using the DMCA. The Sucks Site then used their Exhibit "A" on the new website and now the lawyers for Powermark Homes claim they own the copyright on the photo. RIGHT! Here the link to the photo they claim the own the copyright on: Get involved too, let the lawyers know how you feel about what they did.

DEALERS EXPECT satellite imagery to be the biggest growth area in precision farming, with 33% of dealers expecting to offer the service by 2011, according to a Crop Life survey. That's up from 24% in 2009. Jude Kastens, assistant research professor at the Kansas Applied Remote Sensing Program, University of Kansas, lists the following top applications for remote sensing:
- Creating field-management zones for site-specific management
- Monitoring plant health for in-season, site-specific nutrient prescription map development
- Crop scouting for targeted scouting and herbicide applications
- Post-disaster (hail, flood) damage assessment and mapping
- Topographic mapping for site-specific management and drainage assessment
- Database development for field trials and on-farm research
- Land surveys — cropland mapping, typing and inventory
- Crop condition monitoring
- Crop yield forecasting
- Drought monitoring, mapping and damage assessment
- Post-disaster (hail, flood) damage assessment and mapping
- Productivity estimation for rangeland and pasture insurance
- Monitoring government program and insurance compliance
- Environmental monitoring (for example, Amazon deforestation, grassland conversion)
- Identifying trends in agriculture (for example, changing crop types, reduction in fallow, single to double cropping, urban encroachment)
- Estimating biomass for carbon industry
Kastens recommends asking these questions when shopping for a satellite imagery provider:
WHAT TYPE of satellite or aerial imagery do you offer — spectral bands of near-infrared, red, green, blue; or band combinations such as Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) or green NDVI?
HOW WILL the information be delivered (paper, DVD, e-mail, online via an Internet Web site, mobile access)?
HOW MUCH does it cost? What does the cost include (management zone creation, site-specific nutrient assessment/recommendations)?
WHAT OTHER services do you provide?
FOR AERIAL imagery, how often are images shot? For corn and soybeans, one to three timely images per season should be adequate for most purposes, depending on the cost-benefit.
FOR SATELLITE imagery, what is the revisit time? Imaging satellites are usually on a fixed overflight schedule and thus more susceptible to problems with clouds obstructing the view of the land.
HOW IS the image formatted? For convenience, look for image formatting and preprocessing that allow the image data to be used "out of the box" with whatever GIS/imaging software you are using.

I had highlighted the names of those direct ancestors who had arrived in Australia. I decided to graph the information and this is what it revealed for my family.
Here are the results for my husband's family.
My family
- 42 direct arrivals in Australia
- 7 family group arrivals
- Arrivals between 1822 and 1883
- 2 single arrivals still to locate
My husband's family
- 21 direct arrivals in Australia
- 3 family group arrivals
- Arrivals between c 1831 and 1885
- 1 family arrival to locate
The downside of this is that my daughter wishes one of her grandparents had arrived from Great Britain and then she could get an ancestry visa. We are 2 generations to early for this to happen.
What do your arrivals look like?

The Garden Conservancy is a nonprofit organization headquartered in Cold Spring, New York, dedicated to preserving exceptional gardens and landscapes throughout the U.S. Founded in 1989 by Frank Cabot, the Conservancy has since helped a number of American gardens to develop preservation strategies, organizational structures, and funding plans. In some cases, the Conservancy takes the lead in transitioning the garden to a sustainable, nonprofit status.
Since 1995 the Conservancy has sponsored annual "open days" at hundreds of private gardens across the United States, offering the public an opportunity to visit private gardens not generally open for viewing. Conservancy members receive a copy of Open Days Directory, an annual regional guide to open garden days across the United States. The directory is a soft-cover book that includes detailed driving directions and vivid descriptions of each property, written by their owners.
The Conservancy's upcoming Open Days private garden tour in the Philadelphia area will take place on Sunday, May 5, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nationwide, the 2013 season features more than 300 gardens in 18 states. A $5 admission fee at each garden supports the expansion of the Open Days Program around the country and helps build awareness of the Garden Conservancy's work of preserving exceptional American gardens.
The Garden Conservancy's Open Days Program in the Philadelphia area includes 15 private gardens on the Main Line and in the Chestnut Hill area. All are open to the public for self-guided tours. No reservations required; rain or shine. Features of the properties include rose gardens, water features, themed garden rooms, specimen trees, sculpture, and many historic homes.
Visitors may begin the self-guided tour at any of the following locations:
• The Garden of Charles & Gene Dilks, 215 W. Willow Grove Ave.: The Dilks have lived and worked together on the same nine-10s of an acre for 40 years. They have different color preferences with great affection for auditioning different woody plants. Gene's grandchildren enjoy the playhouse and the woodland path she has created, spotted with 11 "frogs and toads," one "dancing stump," a praying mantis and Mortimer the turtle. The entire effect is breathtaking, especially in the spring.
• The Garden of Jay & Nanie Flaherty, 401 W. Springfield Ave. The Flahertys designed their garden, which sits on a one-acre lot surrounding their house at the corner of a busy intersection. The location is close to the Valley Green entrance of Fairmount Park. The couple has lived in the house for over 25 years, so they now have good "garden bones" created by the dozens of hollies planted by the original owners and by a canopy of mature oak, hickory and beech trees.
• The Garden at Krisheim, 700 W. Mermaid Lane: "Krisheim" is German for "Christ's home." Named for a village on the Rhine River, William Penn also used the name for one of four boroughs into which he divided land in this area. Dr. and Mrs. George Woodward made this their home after Mrs. Woodward's father gifted them 40 acres upon their marriage. The Woodwards spent almost 15 years designing and planting the grounds prior to completion of the house in 1910.
• The Garden of Nancy Newman & Jonathan Morley, 400 W. Springfield Ave.: This lush, contemporary garden was created at the entrance to an estate that at one time occupied the entire block. In the front yard remain the columns that once marked the entry drive, and in the back are a set of steps which once led into the garden surrounded by some rather ancient boxwood and azaleas.
• Guildford Manor, 8500 Flourtown Ave., Wyndmoor: Guildford is a unique and magnificent manor house built in 1925 and purchased by its present owner in 2005. It sits on 18 acres and is protected in perpetuity by a land conservancy. The owner, Martha McGeary Snider, retained landscape designer Robert Nonemaker to help create a master plan to open the view and improve and update the property around the house. The original owner, Allethaire Elkins Rotan, selected specimen trees for the estate, many of which remain.
• The Stable Garden, 8470 Flourtown Ave., Wyndmoor: This delightful small garden was at one time the stable yard and greenhouses for what is now called "Guildford." Owner Charles Ingersoll is gradually modifying the gardens to encourage birds, butterflies and insects among the lovely meadows surrounding the house.
• Alice & Richard Farley, 606 St. Andrews Rd.: Richard is the architect of this lovely house, which he and Alice built in 1978. She is the landscape architect. Alice first planted 1,000 daffodils even before breaking ground on the house, which occurred the same day their first child was born. Then, terraces and steps were added by the new mom, who also planted the garden and continues to maintain it.

BABSON PARK, Mass. - Babson College head coach Stephen Brennan recorded his 200th career victory on Saturday, as his team defeated visiting MIT, 75-63, in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) men's basketball contest at Staake Gymnasium. With the victory, the Beavers improved to 4-9 overall and 1-1 in the conference, while MIT slipped to 9-5 overall and 1-1 in the NEWMAC.
Senior tri-captain Kyle McDonald led all players with 23 points for Babson, including 19 in the second half. McDonald also tallied five rebounds and four assists in the win, while junior Zach Etten finished with 18 points, five boards, three assists, and three steals. Senior Greg Bush also enjoyed a strong game off the bench for the Beavers, amassing 16 points, six rebounds, and two blocks.
Senior Will Mroz paced MIT with a career-high 22 points, 18 of which came via his six three-pointers. Junior Billy Johnson added 14 points for the Engineers, while junior Jimmy Bartolotta also netted 14 - more than 12 points shy of his league-leading average of 26.7 per contest. Bartolotta, who shot well from the field with a 6-for-11 clip, also collected a team-high six rebounds and dished out three assists depite being saddled with his lowest offensive output of the year.
"Our effort today was real disappointing," noted Johnson. "We gave up too many unforced turnovers, over-penetrated on offense and did a terrible job on the boards. If nothing else, we've proven to be a resilient team when we get knocked down, and we'll be ready to deliver a much better performance next week at Coast Guard."
In a back-and-forth first half that featured 10 ties and seven lead changes, Babson pulled ahead late on a trifecta by Bush and eventually took a slim 36-34 advantage into the break. Etten led the Beavers with 11 points at the half, while Mroz paced all players with 14 in the opening session.
The game remained tight early in the second half, with neither team leading by more than four through the first 10 minutes. MIT threatened to pull away with a 6-0 run that gave the Eningeers a 47-43 edge with 13:47 remaining, but the visitors were dealt a tough blow moments later when leading rebounder and shot-blocker Hamidou Soumare fouled out after being whistled for back-to-back infractions with 13 minutes left to play.
MIT later used a 5-0 spurt to build its largest lead of the game at 55-49 with 9:11 to go, but Babson answered with a 9-0 run that featured seven points from McDonald to go up 58-55. Johnson knocked down a three moments later to tie the contest, but the Beavers took the lead for good when Bush drilled his third of the day from beyond the arc at 5:43.
The Engineers stayed close until the four-minute mark when a short jumper by Bartolotta cut their deficit to 65-63, but Babson scored the final 10 points of the contest, including six straight by McDonald, to clinch the 75-63 victory.
For Brennan, career win number 200 comes in his 13th season as head coach at Babson. A five-time conference Coach of the Year, he now boasts a career record of 200-140, ranking him second behind Serge DeBari (224) on the program's all-time win list.

Adventures with GIS: an introduction to IPython and the joy of play
April 23rd, 2012 by Sanjay Gangal
Article source: richwareham
In this talk (which was recorded as a dry run for a seminar) Rich presents a very brief introduction to the Python programming language from the point of view of someone wanting to perform data manipulation on geographic data. He outlines what a GIS is (essentially the meeting point between computers and map-making) and cover some issues to do with raster data on the Earth's surface.
He covers the importance of choosing your sampling wisely, how to generate contoured heigh plots, faux 3d-shared relief maps, slope and aspect plots. Then there is a discussion about some simple de-noising strategies for freely accessible data and investigate a strange phenomenon in Oxfordshire.
