Make post counts public
This suggestion is prompted by the AS Moderating Staff's recent decision to disable rep, as announced here.
Now, I didn't put a lot of weight into rep points. I knew some members with "one green dot" that made some great posts, so I wouldn't assume something about the quality of a member's posts or anime knowledge based on how many green dots they had or didn't have.
However, I did see, and continue to see, rep points as being a good indicator of at least one thing - AS Veteran status.
What I mean by that is that if I saw someone with several green dots (5 or more, say), I could safely assume that this person has been a regular and active member here on AS for a fair bit of time. While some people build up rep quicker than others, I think it's nonetheless true that a certain number of rep points indicates a certain longevity of posting here on AS.
Now, back when I myself was fairly new to Anime Suki, recognizing such veterans on the basis of their "green dots" was helpful to me. I remember noticing Vexx, Irenicus, TinyRedLeaf, and some other members as having lots of green dots. One thing that conveyed to me was "veteran status". So when trying to learn the ropes around AS, and in trying to get used to the sort of community culture here, I found it helpful to pay attention to their posting style and in some cases to ask them for advice directly.
With this in mind, I think it might be good to make post counts public, now that the rep system is going to be removed. Public post counts would enable future new members to the boards to recognize current veteran posters, which can be helpful to them in the same way that those little green dots were once helpful to me.
Now, I know that some might be fearful that this could lead to a sort of elitism. But honestly, on most boards I've been on, that's not the case. People recognize those with large post counts as veterans of a particular online community, but that is it.
Public post counts is a suggestion that was made before on this subforum, but I saw such a thing as redundant at the time precisely because we had the rep system. But with the rep system going away, I think that one of the benefits it provided could be captured by introducing public post counts.
To be clear, what I mean by public post counts is that under your avatar picture would be a display of how many posts you've made since joining Anime Suki. In fact, we could put this display precisely where those little green dots are now. It may be fitting.

As far as I'm concerned, the lack of green blocks will cause the "join date" to act as a sort of indicator of "veteran status" (although it's arguably not as good as the green blocks, or as join date + post count). I guess we're becoming too concerned with being recognized as veterans on the site, eh?
The problem with including the post count is that it encourages people to post a lot when they first join, in order to gain respect in the community and to raise their number to be closer to those of other people. I don't think I'd do it now (and I certainly don't care about post count - I actually like the idea of trying to get my "post per day" statistic down to 1.0), but I remember posting a bit more than usual when I was a teenager on new message forums for that reason. Having a larger number made it seem as if you were deeply embedded in the community, and that other members would respect you.

Yeah, I think it's fine the way it is. If someone wants to know how active a member is, they can go to the public profile to look at some statistics, including post count.

To be clear, I actually don't like post counts as a sign of veteran status as much as I liked the rep system. The rep system essentially acts as a filter against drivel posts, after all.
Nonetheless, I'm not sure if join date alone is a very good way to determine veteran status. You could have someone who joined back in 2007, and has been active for maybe a month since then.
To be fair, this isn't a major concern I'm raising here, but nor do I think that publicly displaying post counts would cause major problems. ANN's forums seems to function fine with them, last time I was there. And I think some newcomers to AS might find it a bit strange for it to have neither a rep system nor public post counts. I myself can't think of any other internet message board that has neither a rep system or public post counts.

Of course, none of these things really would impact the forum that much.
Edit: An alternate thought is to use the "post per day" statistic underneath the profile. This number fluctuates wildly during a member's first few days on the forum, but it quickly smoothes out. Nearly everyone who is active has a "post per day" number between one and five, as far as I've seen; I don't think that anyone has a number above 10. It's also very difficult to maintain a very high number. The fact that everyone has relatively low numbers might help deter people from trying to have the highest number possible (which is impossible to maintain, anyway); at the same time, it would be a good indicator of activity. Combined with the join date, it could be a nice way of telling "veteran status" and gauging true activity. It does nothing for knowing the community's interpretation of that member's activity, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Honestly, I'm not good in forum discussions but I'm very active in the Avatar and Signature request so most of my points came from those who appreciated my efforts. It's really saddening to the point of having a tear on one side of my eyes but... What can we do to stop it? Even being "veteran" can halt it....
I still wish for the best... Long Live Animesuki...

If we did any sort of activity indicator (which I'm still not totally sure we need), I think I would prefer it be somewhat obscured and more difficult to game... but I don't have a specific idea.

why are people so fixated on judging other posters based on how popular they are or how much they participate in ~the community~
How about you treat other posters as human beings with lives beyond this forum and realize that they have many different opinions, some of which you may agree with and others that you may not agree with? If I was actually interested in debating the merits of Japanese popular culture I'm pretty damn sure I'd want other people to value my opinions because they thought they had merit or because they were well formulated, not because I was a popular member of this particular internet circlejerk.
Seriously, guys. What the heck are you thinking?

Nope.As much free time as I travelling from one place to another at work, the postcount is a pretty unfair way of determining a poster's post quality. There shouldn't be any "VIP" status in the forum because everyone is the same- they are all here to discuss and understand.

You can see it in the profile anyways, so it's not necessary.
Post counts are the worst indicator of anything IMO since they encourage spam. In fact, a general rule of forums is that people with extremely large post counts are terrible posters thanks to spam. /walks away.

I don't think so. There are people that have been here a long time and have a lower post count that let's say, mine. I have a 500+ post count (reached 500 recently) and most of them are just random trash not worth counting. The join date has always been more than enough for me to tell how long someone has been here.

The post count system shouldn't reflect on how much respect a certain person should get. I think this rep system is a pretty good way of representing a member's image rather than postcounts, since a series of one-liner posts to get a cookie means naught about the person.
Then again, there are people like Anh Minh and Ascaloth who post 1-liners of criticism (sometimes caustic in Ascaloth's case, so thinskins don't like him for that) well worth their weight in merit. It is still the content of the post that determines the amount of respect that a person should get - as fair as it can go.

It's pretty easy to rig the system anyways. I could just post inoffensive stuff that constantly shits out sunshine and rainbows but what would be the fun of that?
Rep IS better than post count. Just still not worth much.

Giving status through post count is the same as weighing people's intelligence by the size of their shoe (not to say something else).
No relationship at all. Look at me for example. 730 posts of sheer argentine-ness which few enjoy.

Can I present an opposite view? I think a really large post count is...embarrassing. I'd automatically calculate the average of how much I posted per day since the join date and then I got really disappointed at myself and stopped posting because anything above a 2-to-1 rate seemed so, so wasteful and anything above 10-to-1 felt absolutely awful. So, yeah...
Yeah. I'm sorry Triple_R, but um, please no.
Less "personal confession"-y, I think post count is far worse as a system to rep, for reasons others already suggested.
Speaking of which, I didn't recall having that many green dots by the time of your join date...? In fact our Asuki birthdays are just a month apart! You're making me feel old. :<

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt got married this past weekend at Chateau Miraval on Saturday evening (August 23) in France and new details are emerging about the ceremony!
The 39-year-old actress and 50-year-old actor's children, Maddox, 13, Pax, 10, Zahara, 9, Shiloh, 8, and 6-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, were all involved in the wedding in a big way!
Angelina was walked down the aisle by her two older sons Maddox and Pax. Zahara and Vivienne acted as the flower girls as they threw flower petals down the aisle before the bride took her big walk. Shiloh and Knox served as the ring bearers in the big ceremony.
Before the non-denominational wedding, Angelina and Brad obtained a marriage license in California, the AP reports.
Congrats again to the beautiful couple!

Bobbie Lee Holmes, a Los Angeles public school teacher who won an early victory for fair housing in California when she and her husband used the courts to challenge the racism of their Pacoima neighbors, died Sept.19 in Petaluma. She was 84.
The cause was complications from heart and
, said her son, Emory Holmes II.
In 1959, Holmes and her husband, Emory, moved with their three children from an integrated neighborhood on the east side of Pacoima to an all-white section a few miles away. She was a teacher in the Los Angeles city schools and her husband was a research scientist for Rand Corp., but their new neighbors did not welcome them because they were African American.
Malicious callers phoned the Holmes' house on Remington Street from morning to night. The family received unsolicited visits at odd hours from insurance salesmen, an undertaker, a veterinarian, an exterminator and various repairmen.
Rocks were thrown through their windows. Burning crosses appeared on their lawn. Tacks were scattered on the driveway around their cars, which were pelted with eggs. One night an ugly message was painted on a wall in front of their house: "Black Plague, Don't let it spread."
This "bizarre campaign of aggravation and intimidation" was not an uncommon experience for blacks in Los Angeles at the time, according to
history professor Josh Sides, who wrote about the Holmeses in his 2004 book "L.A. City Limits: African American Los Angeles from the Great Depression to the Present."
What was unusual was that Holmes and her husband fought back. In 1960 they
. The harassment stopped and they remained in the neighborhood for 20 years. Over time, their son said, they became good friends with some of the neighbors who had been among their bitterest antagonists.
Holmes was born in Trinity, Ala., on Feb. 11, 1927, and grew up under segregation. At a time when it was illegal to educate an African American student after the sixth grade, she dreamed of becoming a teacher and artist. In the early 1950s, she earned a teaching credential and a bachelor's degree in home economics from what is now Tennessee State University.
While living in Nashville, she pushed to enroll her children in an all-white Catholic school and integrated it in 1954, the same year that the
outlawed school segregation in Brown vs. Board of Education.
Her husband, whom she married in 1945, had moved to Santa Monica in 1953 to work for Rand. She saved enough money to follow him with their children in 1955.
In addition to her son, she is survived by two daughters, Evangeline Bolton and Denise Kennedy, and four grandchildren.
She taught elementary school in the Los Angeles school district from 1957 to 1979. After her husband became dean of student services at the UC San Francisco medical school in 1981, she taught in the Cotati-Rohnert Park and Petaluma school districts in Sonoma County.
She retired from teaching in 1993.
After her husband's death in 1995, she studied art and received a degree from Santa Rosa Junior College in 2000. In 2007 she completed a bachelor's degree in fine arts from Cal State Sonoma. At 80, she was the oldest graduate in her class.

No. 10 LSU hopes its defense is shoring up in time to help its offense through looming tests
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
BATON ROUGE, La. – While Les Miles is not pleased by the 67 points LSU yielded in a six-quarter span, the Tigers' dominance of their last half of football offers hope as the toughest stretch of their schedule looms.
The 10th-ranked Tigers' defense was shredded on the ground and through the air by Georgia for four quarters and by Mississippi State for two more. But LSU yielded just three points in the second half of its 45-26 victory at Mississippi State on Saturday.
"We are making strides on defense," LSU coach Les Miles asserted. "We have to be confident and play with poise. We just need to tackle well and do the things we are used to doing in practice. The defense is coming. We'll get back to LSU defense very quickly."
In three Southeastern Conference contests, the Tigers (5-1) have given up an average of 30 points while getting off to a 2-1 start in league play. LSU's next four SEC opponents are No. 17 Florida on Saturday, followed by Ole Miss, No. 1 Alabama and ninth-ranked Texas A&M.
For now, LSU's optimism heading into those games stems from the play of Zach Mettenberger, who has completed 70 percent of his passes for 1,738 yards and 15 touchdowns against two interceptions. The senior quarterback is on pace to set school records in yards and touchdowns passing.
"Zach is playing just like we need him to play at home or on the road," Miles said. "He is the leader. He is in charge of the communication. Zach is one of those guys on the field who gives you advantages not just with his arm, but with his mind."
Wide receivers Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Jr. have combined for 77 receptions, 1,300 yards and 13 touchdown catches in the first six games. Not to be forgotten is the contribution of running back Jeremy Hill, who is averaging almost 120 yards per game on the ground.
LSU's high-flying offense will receive its toughest challenge so far this season against visiting Florida, which is yielding just 12 points and 217 yards per game. Opposing quarterbacks are barely managing more than 150 yards passing per game against the Gators.
Florida coach Will Muschamp realizes this is a far different LSU offense than he saw a year ago — and it all starts with the passing game.
"LSU is very balanced," Muschamp said. "Zach Mettenberger is playing at a very high level. He is so efficient and so effective throwing vertical balls down the field.
"Zach has a better understanding in the passing game with last year being his first as the guy. Everybody matures at different ages. We're in an instant coffee society where we want it right now. That's not always the way it is."
Mettenberger and the Tigers offense struggled in a 14-6 loss against Florida in Gainesville last October. The only LSU points came on two field goals. Mettenberger completed only 11 of 25 passes for 158 yards. The Tigers finished with just eight first downs and 200 total yards.
Such sluggish offensive output appears to be history under first-year offensive coordinator Cam Cameron.
"Coach Cameron wants us to play confident," wide receiver Kadron Boone said. "Getting with Cam has helped Mettenberger out. He is making faster decisions and reading defenses faster. When we come out of our break, we had better be looking because the ball is going to be there."
Florida's defenders have noticed.
"The difference in Mettenberger is the confidence in his receivers," Florida safety Jaylen Watkins said. "He gives them a chance to get the ball up the field this year. He's going to throw it and they're going to catch it. He trusts those guys that no matter where he puts the ball, they are going to go up and get it."
LSU cornerback Jalen Mills has seen Mettenberger's progress in practice and enjoyed watching that translate to Saturdays.
"He steps up in the pocket knowing that he's going to get hit. He shows both physical and mental toughness," Mills said. "Right now, I think Zach is the best quarterback in the SEC and not just because I am his teammate. I see it week-in and week-out from him."

Supreme Court Chooses SOPA/PIPA Protest Day To Give A Giant Middle Finger To The Public Domain
from the ridiculous dept
The ruling is ridiculously depressing. The Justices basically just keep repeating the mantra they first set forth in Eldred, that as long as Congress says it's okay -- and that the "fair use" and the "idea/expression" dichotomy remain -- all is just dandy. They also claim that since the very first copyright law took works from the public domain and gave them copyright protection, clearly there's nothing wrong with removing works from the public domain. This decision reinforces why the Eldred decision was a complete disaster, and just keeps getting worse. The Eldred ruling basically ignored the fact that copyright had changed entirely in a way that went against the First Amendment... by retroactively granting copyright extension. Now that ruling is being used to take works out of the public domain as well.
First, as with Eldred (and the second case in the trilogy, the Kahle case), I believe that the Court is greatly mistaken in its analysis of copyright law. First it claims that there's little fight between copyright and the First Amendment because the two things were put in place at about the same time. That's a specious argument for a variety of reasons. First, the original copyright law was significantly limited in a way that it was unlikely to really come into conflict with the First Amendment. It was limited to just a few specific areas, and for a very short period of time. It's only now that (1) copyright law has been totally flipped to make just about everything you create covered by copyright, (2) the law has been massively expanded in time and (3) changes in technology make us all create tons of "copyrighted" material all the time -- things have changed an entirely. It's hard to see how the Court can reasonably argue that the traditional contours of copyright law have not changed... but that's exactly what it does. Stunningly, the majority decision here, written by Justice Ginsburg, seems to suggest that there's no First Amendment issue here, because if people want to make use of the works that were previously, but are no longer, in the public domain, they can just buy those rights:
But Congress has not put petitioners in this bind. The question here, as in Eldred, is whether would-be users must pay for their desired use of the author's expression, or else limit their exploitation to "fair use" of that work. Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf could once be performed free of charge; after §514 the right to perform it must be obtained in the marketplace.It's a really frustrating decision, because it appears to lack any recognition of just how much copyright law has changed and expanded. It seems to lack -- as it did in Eldred -- any sense of how overreaching copyright law is, in fact, stifling free expression everyday. It's a tone deaf response to what's actually happening.
The dissent, by Justice Breyer (with support from Alito), seems to actually understand this. The rest of the Justices (excluding Kagan, who recused herself due to her role in the case prior to joining the court) just don't seem to want to bother to understand. The dissent, however, kicks off with a quote from Thomas Macaulay's famous speech on the problems of copyright, noting that copyright is, by definition, "a tax on readers for the purpose of giving a bounty to writers." They then note that the decision to remove works from the public domain fails to uphold the basic premise of copyright law:
The statute before us, however, does not encourage anyone to produce a single new work. By definition, it bestows monetary rewards only on owners of old works -- works that have already been created and already are in the American public domain. At the same time, the statute inhibits the dissemination of those works, foreign works published abroad after 1923, of which there are many millions, including films, works of art, innumerable photographs, and, of course, books--books that (in the absence of the statute) would assume their rightful places in computer-accessible databases, spreading knowledge throughout the world.Breyer -- who has always had a much stronger grasp on copyright than his colleagues -- notes that the whole point of copyright law is to encourage new works, and that the Founders themselves recognized that "monopoly is a two-edged sword, that must be wielded carefully. Breyer quotes the early words of James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, that copyright should be granted, but only "in certain cases.... with caution and guarded with strictness agst abuse" and solely such that it acts as "compensation for a benefit actually gained to the community... which the owner might otherwise withhold from public use."
How taking works out of the public domain accomplishes that goal mystifies Breyer (and me and many others).
Separately, he notes that Congress and the Court have both made it clear in the past that copyright is for the benefit of the public, and not solely to grant rights to authors. The granting of monopolies to authors is the method by which the public might benefit, but not the purpose of copyright law. Retroactively seizing works out of the public domain does not benefit the public. And thus, is unconstitutional. Except... to the six justices who chose not to understand copyright law.
That the Supreme Court released this on the same day of widespread protests against overreaching copyright law is a bit of unfortunate irony. The truth is that Congress is the one who could fix this by actually fixing copyright law and making it clear that the Court's interpretation was wrong. But, instead, because Hollywood pays the bills, they only make copyright law worse. While it's easy to blame this ruling on the Supreme Court, it really implicates Congress. And, thus, it's actually depressingly fitting that this ruling came out today.

2. Serena Carlow (Bath Tangle)
While Venetia Lanyon betrays her irritating habits from the very first page, with Serena Carlow we do not discover quite what she is like until, ooh, the beginning of Chapter 2, where she starts pacing round the room, muttering "infamous!" and "abominable!", and acting out in a toddler-like manner that she maintains, more or less, for the rest of the book.
And what is it that precipitates this display of childish petulance? Her father's decision to leave her inheritance in trust until she marries, and to appoint the Marquis of Rotherham as her trustee. Given her reaction, more befitting a five or fifteen year old than a woman of five-and-twenty, this was clearly a very sound move on the part of the late Lord Spenborough. Serena's subsequent actions: moving against all advice to the Dower House with her tediously mousy step-mother before finding it a total bore (as everybody said she would); then moving to Bath and behaving in a manner guaranteed to frighten the horses, demonstrate without a shadow of a doubt that had she been allowed free run of the Hernesley and Ibshaw estates from the get-go she would have been the on dit of half the country within a matter of months.
Now some of you will be saying, "it's not the trust, it's the trustee," and suggesting that Serena's objections to the will are entirely justified because Ivo Rotherham is her ex-fiancé. What I would say to Miss Carlow is get over it. You're twenty-five years old. You have a lavish inheritance. If you are as intelligent and independent as you claim, go find a husband who will suit you. It's not as if you don't have the ego and address to carry it off. Or if, as seems more likely to be the case, you can't actually bring yourself to walk away from what must have been a coach-wreck of an engagement, then don't. Stop the attitudinising, apologise to Rotherham, and settle down with him. But which ever way you go, don't keep going on and on about it as if we should care. You'll only end up alienating your readers and driving your dull but harmless stepmother into a fit of the vapours and the arms of a distinctly dodgy army officer.
Just think, if Serena had just taken a deep breath and counted to ten when the will was read, we would all have been spared 300 pages of unbridled solipsism, and might have had instead one of those sweet little romances that Miss Austen does so well.

What is all this sexist twaddle about Serena? Ivo is just as bad. Heyer, with her usual genius, has given us a hero and heroine who are a perfectly matched pair.

I set out what I was doing with these essays a while back, probably while you were off on your hols. There's plenty of room for others to explain quite what is wrong with Mr Beaumaris, or Avon, or Worth, or whomever.
I would have thought that the author of Darcy's Diary ("Makes Bridget Jones look like a neurotic Londoner" the Independent) would be the perfect person to tackle the project.

Ah! Then may I nominate Frederica for the next in the series? Many people love her. To me, she is an interfering busybody.
As for explaining what is wrong with Beaumaris, Avon or Worth, I suspect there is nothing their presence could not overcome ;)

Miss Merrivale's turn will come, have no fear, but probably not as the next in the series, as that one is mostly done (but you'll have to wait until Sunday to find out who it is to be).

The Voice coach Kylie Minogue: 'The hardest thing is saying no to people'
NEW coach Kylie Minogue has certainly made an impression since joining The Voice UK…
I have never done anything like this before, but it feels like the right time and now I am doing it, the experience has been amazing
She may be just 5ft tall, but Kylie Minogue has had a big impact on The Voice UK. Since joining Sir Tom Jones, will.i.am and Kaiser Chiefs' Ricky Wilson on the coaching panel, Kylie has added warmth, humour and sex appeal to the talent show that aims to find Britain's next singing superstar.
The opening episode of series three pulled in an average of 8.4 million viewers when it aired in January – two million more than last year's opener.
Despite being in the music industry for nearly three decades, Kylie admits she was nervous about taking part in The Voice, having turned down the opportunity to become a coach on the show in 2012. But after watching the first two series, she found she couldn't refuse the offer again.
"I watched The Voice and I really got into it," she says. "I did think about it for a while, as it was such a big commitment for me. I have never done anything like this before, but it feels like the right time and now I am doing it, the experience has been amazing."
Kylie replaced Price Tag singer Jessie J on the panel and has nothing but praise for her predecessor.
"I think Jessie did a great job, especially for someone so young in that position and doing the hard work in series one when the show was unknown. I considered series one and for whatever reason I decided I couldn't commit to it then," she admits.
The 45-year-old chart-topper also reveals she turned to sister Dannii Minogue, a former judge on ITV's talent search The X Factor, for tips on how to mentor contestants on the show.
"She has given me advice, although I'd already seen what it was like for her. She would stay with me in London when she was working and I saw how she was consumed by the show and how she invested a lot of time in it," says Kylie.
"Dannii thought I would enjoy the experience of being on a show like The Voice and enjoy being a mentor. And she was right, I do. I love it."
Kylie first found fame in 1986 on Australian soap Neighbours where she soon caught people's attention playing sexy mechanic Charlene Mitchell. Her on-screen wedding to Scott Robinson, played by Jason Donovan, was watched by 20 million viewers in the UK.
But it was when she released her first single, Locomotion, in 1987 that her profile really soared. And since then Kylie has sold 70 million records worldwide with hits such as I Should Be So Lucky, Spinning Around and Can't Get You Out Of My Head.
In 2008 she was awarded an OBE for her services to music and has worked with artists such as Nick Cave, Robbie Williams and Pharrell Williams.
Kylie has the credentials to coach wannabe pop stars on The Voice, although she admits she was daunted by the experience at first.
"Initially it was a baptism of fire. It feels totally different being in the chair. It's very intense but also lots of fun," she says.
The petite pop princess says the blind auditions, where the coaches face away from the contestants and are unable to see them as they perform, were particularly tense.
"The blind auditions were really nerve-racking as to when you should press the button. So many things were going through my mind. Even though Tom has done the show before, he said it was nerve-racking, too, because you are dealing with a fresh batch of people," she says.
"I wish everyone could experience it. It is not as simple as watching it at home. You think it is a guy singing – and then it is a girl. You just don't know. You form a picture in your mind from your set of life experiences about what the voice says to you, and then you turn around and it is very different.
"The hardest thing I have found is saying no to people," she adds.Kylie's team of contestants is gradually building and she is looking forward to mentoring them for the next round of the competition. Although, she says, people who expect her to be a soft touch are in for a shock.
"I am strict if I have to be," she says. "I want the contestants to feel they have the support from me. I have been advising them on things that I have learned as a performer, like light and shade, delivering the song in a certain way or showing them how to use the stage in a certain way. I would be disappointed if they didn't take it seriously. The public wants to know that they have got someone who is giving it their best shot. This is an amazing opportunity for them all."
As well as working with the contestants, Kylie says she loves being alongside her fellow coaches and isn't fazed by being the only female on the panel.
"I feel like I have struck gold with three great guys. It is nice to feel we are all in the same boat and I like having the three of them around with me. It feels like a great team," says Kylie.
"I think it works really well with one girl and three men – I'm more than happy with that. It stops there being stories about bitchiness and catfights. I'm comfortable with it. I mean, it might be interesting to have more women on the panel in the future, but for now it works as it is.
"I hope I'm giving a voice to the girls and for women who look up to me, or anyone like me, in the music business."

How to Build Your Kid Their Very Own Jetpack
Every little boy dreams of being able to fly like a bird. Just stick one in the backyard with a backpack and his imagination and suddenly, he's turned into The Rocketeer. That's assuming that the little boy in question grew up in the 90s or their parents have a really lame selection of VHS movies.
Now parents who can't afford to buy their kids an actual rocket powered backpack (we're assuming that's everyone on the planet except Mitt Romney's mom and dad) can build one with nothing more than a few household objects, some paint and (of course) love. It's actually very cool looking for a collection of recycled household items.
The recipe comes from an innovative parent who created one for his little boy. It's also cheaper to do than you think. He took two large soda bottles and coated them in silver spray paint, attached them to a piece of cardboard with some strong ribbons for backpack straps and put some crepe paper strips on the end to simulate flames.
If you're the kind of parent who doesn't go through soda fast enough for the bottles, you can replace them with a couple of Pringles cans or some tennis ball canisters for a retro, "Looney Tunes" look. It's also a bit easier to make, so your kid can actually help with the build.
Of course, if you want a jetpack that actually works, you can always buy the real thing such as this $15,000 air-powered flying beast or a water powered jetpack nicknamed the "Flyboard." And if you're seriously considering buying one of these for your little ones, we're willing to put ourselves up for adoption.

Manning, S.C., grower Bill Simpson and his father Billy Simpson booked a high percentage of their wheat and corn crops to take advantage of high prices. Though they were careful to book only a part of their crop, the aura of a total loss was not on the radar screen.
As of late April, it appeared their 575 acres of wheat will be close to a total loss. "We don't know what will happen on the wheat we booked," Bill Simpson says. For the corn crop, they will get a second chance, but that will require replanting most of their 1,000 acres of corn.
The freeze burned the flag leaf back. The flag leaf feeds the head. The wheat will head out, but there won't be any seed in it. "You can look at our wheat and you can tell it was burned so bad, you could just about cut it and bale it," Simpson says.
Corn is much the same way, Simpson adds. "We had near drought conditions when we tried to plant corn. And, actually we stopped planting because it was so dry. That turned out to be fortunate, otherwise we may have lost all our corn," the South Carolina grower says.
So much corn was damaged in South Carolina that insurance adjusters are over-taxed.
South Carolina Agriculture Commissioner Hugh Weathers says his state was hit so hard by the Easter freeze that he will ask the governor to declare it a federal disaster.
"Our peach crop was virtually destroyed, vegetable production was at a critical stage and wheat and corn were hard hit," Weathers says.
When the Easter freeze hit Simpson's corn was anywhere from just cracking the soil to a foot tall. In some low lying areas of his fields, where more moisture remained in the soil, corn appears to have weathered the cold better, but the damage is still evident.
Knowing what to replant and what not to replant is a tricky question, according to the veteran South Carolina farmer. "In some fields we may leave the outside eight rows. Otherwise, we will come back and plant right in the row with the damaged corn," he says.
"It would be nice if someone could look at your fields and tell you this will make 50 bushels per acre and this will make 150 bushels per acre. It's so difficult to determine how skips in rows will affect yield and how many of the damaged corn plants will recover and produce a normal crop," Simpson explains.
"We hope to utilize all the nitrogen in the corn fields by dropping seed right in the row. Then, we will come back after the corn comes up and make a decision how much additional nitrogen we will need. We had 50 units of nitrogen on most of our fields, and we feel like most of that is still available. Originally, we put nitrogen and manganese in a two-by-two application beside the row and came back behind the row and sprayed liquid nitrogen and atrazine.
Under normal weather conditions, it would have grown off so fast, we would have had to hurry to get to layby. Now, we are just worried about trying to get it replanted," he explains.
All his corn is Roundup Ready, so he will give corn a couple of weeks to shade the row out some, then come back with glyphosate for weed control.
Simpson says that's about as economical as possible in a re-plant situation. "We didn't have any rain, so all the nutrients we put down with the initial planting should still be there. We will look at it closely at side-dress and add some on that fertilizer application to compensate for what we lost from the original planting, he adds.
"The first freeze on the Friday before Easter, with temperatures just below freezing put some stress on our corn and wheat, but the Saturday night freeze is what really did us in," Simpson laments. Temperatures that hovered in the mid-20s for 5-6 hours left thousands of acres of wheat and corn in varying states of destruction.
"It looks like the heaviest damage was in the driest parts of our fields. In low areas where there was some moisture, it looks like that moisture generated enough heat to protect the plants," Simpson says.
Truly a family farm, the Simpsons still raise a couple of cows and hogs and keep chickens — not to sell, but for their own use. They also work out a labor arrangement to clean nearby poultry houses and use poultry litter to fertilize their fields.
"We have tried both chicken and turkey litter, but have found chicken litter the best to generate the units of nitrogen we need," Simpson says. They haul the litter, dump it on-site and use it as needed.
For many growers how much corn to replant, when to replant and how to replant are management decisions they weren't expecting to have to make in 2007. Guidelines for re-planting are available, but generally apply to corn producing states in the Midwest.
These guidelines include:
Know what you have left in terms of plants per acre. Count plants in at least three places in the affected field. Count plants that make up at least 1/100 of an acre.
Determine if the standing plants in the 1/100th of a row will survive or whether there are "skips" that need to be accounted for and whether these plants will emerge or are destroyed by the freeze.
If uneven emergence is row to row, that is, most rows are emerged but some are not, replanting will probably not increase yield.
If the delay in emergence is less than two weeks between the early and late emerging plants, replanting may increase yields, but by only 5 percent or less. Replanting would probably not be economical.
Replanted corn fields will emerge up to 3-4 weeks later than fields that were not replanted, will flower later and be more susceptible to second generation corn borer moths. In these cases, consider replanting Bt corn borer resistant hybrids.
The bottom line is replanting corn is an expensive proposition. With half of their corn forward contracted, whether to replant for Simpson is not a question.

A struggle between public and private played out in B.C. Supreme Court last week.
A judicial review, initiated by Friends of Strathcona Park, focused on the provincial government's decision to place private business interests above the best interests of the public and the park.
After hearing both sides, Justice Sigurdson decided to reserve judgment.
"We hope that this case will help set a precedent ensuring protection of our province's parks," says Bridget Horel, a Friends of Strathcona Park spokesperson.
"The granting of this permit is being challenged on the grounds that the minister of the environment never considered whether or not the permit was necessary," explains Scott Bernstein, lawyer for the Friends. "While government looked at whether it was financially beneficial to them, they did not address the key question, whether it was necessary to preserve and maintain the existing recreational values of the park, as is required by the Park Act."
B.C. government lawyer Leah Greathead suggests in her argument that the jurisdiction of ministers and bureaucrats is beyond the reach of the court. She continued that the minister had full authority, under the Park Act, to make the decision that he made.
"It seems as though our Province is saying that the public and the courts have no place in questioning the decisions they make," Horel says. "We believe that provincial parks are to be kept for the public and that the public does have a right to say whether or not parks can be sold, privatized or commercialized."
The judicial review concluded Friday, but the public will have to wait to hear the outcome of this court case until a written decision has been provided. For more information or to find out how to donate, go to the Friends of Strathcona Park website.

Wow. That was fast. It's only been about 10 seconds since she and Conor Kennedy broke things off, and now apparently Taylor Swift is considering buying a house in London so she has yet another place to escape to and write songs about love, heartbreak, and everything in between.
According to a source who talked to RadarOnline, "Taylor is looking into expanding her property portfolio in Europe and London is one of her preferred destinations. She loves being in London, just because it's such a vibrant city and if she had a base there, it would be easier for her to travel around Europe when she's touring."
Um, yeah -- who's buying this story? If Taylor is looking to set up shop in London, I think it's pretty easy to see what is really going on here.
Duhhhhhhh. Now that she's done with the Kennedys (at least for the time being), she's looking to upgrade to a much more influential family -- the Royals. Yeah, she's totally after Prince Harry. For sure.
I mean, doesn't it kind of make sense for her to go for the ultimate prize and try and land the bachelor of all bachelors? She started with A-list actors, then moved on to the Kennedys, who are pretty much American royalty -- and now she's ready for the complete Kate Middleton experience. (And who can blame her?)
And as crazy as it sounds, she just might have a shot with everyone's favorite ginger. He digs blonds, so she's got that going for her. And even though she's famous, she's still innocent and prim and proper enough to appease the Queen, which is a huge bonus for Harry.
Wait a second -- if this romance really does happen, Taylor's already got a theme song written. "You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess, it's a love story, baby just say YES."
But she may want to go ahead and start penning a catchy tune for after they break up. (This IS Taylor Swift we're talking about.)
Do you think Taylor is really house hunting in London? And is it because of Harry?

White Papers and Application Notes
Toward an Evaluation of the Tonal Colouring of the Japanese koto using COMSOL Multiphysics and Acoustics ModuleK. Coaldrake[1]
[1]The University of Adelaide, Adelaide City, South Australia, Australia
This paper investigates the potential for a multidisciplinary approach using COMSOL Multiphysics for the evaluation of the tonal colouring of the Japanese koto (13-stringed zither). It uses Ando's classic acoustic studies (1986; 1996) as a benchmark for the analysis of the natural resonant frequencies and design of the sounding body of the koto. It reports on the development of the model and initial results of simulations. It concludes that COMSOL Multiphysics and finite element analysis can contribute to a multidisciplinary approach to an investigation of the tonal colouring of the koto and that further development of the model is warranted.

In his second stint with the Vikings, in the middle of the 2010 season, he was an aging star who was released after 27 days.
Now, on Sunday, Moss will return to Minnesota as a member of the 49ers, and his status is unclear.
Is he a complementary player who logs about 20 snaps per game, a role he has assumed in the season's first two games? Is he a 35-year-old readying to flash his Hall of Fame form as his playing time gradually increases?
On Wednesday, as Moss met with the media for the first time in 14 days, he was expansive on several topics, but his still-undefined role with the 49ers wasn't among them.
Asked if he was concerned about his snaps – 37 in two games, according to Pro Football Focus – Moss interrupted the question in mid-sentence: "No, I'm not," he said. "Next question."
Asked later about his disinterest in the topic, Moss noted his playing time was out of his control: "It's really not up to me. Like I said, I just come out here and practice every day. When called upon, I just go out there and try to make plays. So it's not up to me."
With that, Moss ended a seven-minute question-and-answer session in which he happily touched on other topics, most notably the chance to play in front of his former fans in Minnesota.
Moss, who played with the Vikings from 1998 to 2004 and for four games in 2010, has appeared in the Metrodome as an opposing player just once. In 2006, he played against the Vikings in the preseason as a member of the Raiders.
"I'm just very fortunate to go back where it all started at," Moss said. "We had some great times in Minnesota. I'm looking forward to just hearing the Metrodome rock."
Reflecting on his early seasons, Moss expressed appreciation for his first head coach, Dennis Green, who took a chance on him when off-the-field incidents caused Moss to slip to No. 21 overall in the '98 draft. He also was grateful for the chance to play with guard Randall McDaniel and defensive tackle John Randle, members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Moss will join his former teammates in Canton, Ohio, but not before he takes at least one more shot at winning his first Super Bowl ring, which he said was the only item missing from his resume.
Minnesota head coach Leslie Frazier, an assistant head coach with the Vikings during Moss' stint in 2010, believes Moss will be an integral part of the 49ers' season.
"He still shows that if you blink, he can run by you," Frazier said. "He has got that ability. He really seems to be rejuvenated in their offense."
Said Minnesota cornerback Antoine Winfield: "Moss is still dangerous. He's not the same Moss he was when he came here in '98, but he can still make big plays. He's still productive. We all understand that. We can't let him loose."
In two games, Moss, whose longest catch is 20 yards, has five receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown. Whether his numbers – and snaps – increase as the season progresses isn't clear. Even Frazier said of Moss: "I'm not sure about his role."
On Sunday, however, one thing will be certain: Moss will inspire an emotional response from his former fans when he returns in a different uniform.
"One thing about praises and boos is, obviously you're doing something right," Moss said. "I think I just hang my hat on that. … I think the boos just being negative puts more pressure on you to go out and hush that noise up. So I look forward to hearing both. I'm a 49er now and hopefully we can go into the Metrodome and come out of there 3-0."

Are you a cowboy? Do you like poetry? Then consider taking part in Dodge City's first ever cowboy poetry contest. The event will take place at the end of the month at Carnegie Center for the Arts, as part of their Final Friday celebration.
Are you a cowboy? Do you like poetry? Then consider taking part in Dodge City's first ever cowboy poetry contest. The event will take place at the end of the month at Carnegie Center for the Arts, as part of their Final Friday celebration.
"Ron Wilson, the chair for the contest, approached me about hosting preliminaries in Dodge," Summer Bates, executive director of Carnegie said. "So, that's how the whole thing began."
The statewide Cowboy Poetry Contest has been held for a few years already.
"Dodge City seems the perfect place to have an event like this in western Kansas," Wilson said in a press release. "We encourage cowboys and poets to enter, and we invite folks in the area to come out and enjoy the performance."
In addition to Dodge, preliminaries will also be held in Wellington, as part of their Chisholm Trails Wild West Days, and Fort Scott, as part of their Echoes of the Trail event. First, second and third place winners of each preliminary event will be invited to the state finals held Friday June 14, in Alma in conjunction with the Symphony on the Flint Hills. Winners of the state round will receive the coveted Governor's Buckle, two tickets to the Symphony in the Flint Hills and the opportunity to recite their work again in the Patron's Tent at the symphony.
"We will have two divisions that people can enter their poems into," Bates said. "Serious and humorous. Winners will be selected for each division."
All poems must have a cowboy or western theme, but other than that there are no guidelines for entrants. Though Bates does suggest that poems be kept to a reasonable length.
"Anyone interested in entering can pick up a registration form on our website, our facebook page, in person or by visiting cowboypoetrycontest.com," Bates said.
There is a small entry fee of $15 for one poem or $25 for two. The fee increases by five dollars if you're registering after May 20.
Everyone who registers for the contest will have the opportunity to read their poem as part of the Final Friday event on May 31. Each poem will be judged and the winners will be announced at the end of the evening. Winners will have the opportunity to perform their poems again at Boot Hill the following day.
"We hope this will be something that will draw some new people out to Final Friday," Bates said, "and it'll be something different for our regulars too."
For more information about the contest call Bates at (620) 225-6388, or visit cowboypoetrycontest.com.

This is where I come when I need to talk. I can tell you all that which I can't say in my "real" life. This is coming up on a sad period for me. June is the cruelest month in my world. Loss beyond loss occurred for me in June of 2001 when my son died from an asthma attack. I never got to say goodbye; I wasn't even here in the U.S. when it happened. Lots of guilt still over that. Forever this is linked with 9/11/2001; so much in a short period of time. Even from afar, the nation's grief sort of swept mine to the side. Maybe a good thing, I don't know. So we carry on in silence. Time moves on, the memories don't fade, hurt doesn't fade, it just becomes part of your soul.
People say to me that they don't know how I cope with that; they couldn't do it they say. Well, the universe doesn't exactly ask you. There is so much that we humans do not have control over. If we think about it, it would probably make us all crazy. I have lived by trying to focus on right now; get through this moment and the next and the next when it comes. That's it. No magical superpowers for me.
If I had them...well.
Fast forward to 2009; my sweet boy Niles left me too. That was equally debilitating to me. Many of you here in my secret world know of this event. And that which followed. Which brings me to today.
I am a person who keeps fighting, one who always arises from the ashes. I have a positive outlook that all will be well eventually. But I am growing weary. Let me tell you all why.
After the idiot ran off (again) to play with his little friends; he left me jobless and with a lot of debt that I couldn't pay. Yes he gave me money each month. But never enough to take care of the essential bills completely.
In December of this year, after much fighting to delay it, I was evicted from my home due to foreclosure. I moved in with a neighbor.
My job that I loved ended. They closed the sewing machine department in March. The unemployment in Michigan says I don't have enough money in the system to receive benefits so I have no income at all. And over the last few months my husband has decreased the amount of money he sends me; the last few months it has been $100; this month $66.00 I have three dogs to care for and feed, and continue to pay their vet bills, all of which he is aware of. He has not made any payments on my truck, now will be the third month. So I guess he cannot take anything else from me, but when this is taken I feel like I will lose my mind! I have sold everything I could to keep my home, so now I have nothing left to sell.
And this is where I sit today; right on the verge of just having a fit. Oh wait, that's right; I just got diagnosed with fibromyalgia too. I realized I had been in pain for so long the other day, that I can't recall a time without something hurting. This lead me to go to a new doctor.Now here I am. Trying to keep it together. My daughter tries to help me, but she can't afford to do much. I appreciate what she does though. It means a lot to me. I feel like screaming some days. I really do. I never thought my husband would put me and the dogs in such a tenuous circumstance. I really didn't. But he sure did. And he gets away with it as there is nothing I can do. The law never works for me; I can't get anything according to a lawyer. I will just have to accept that he gets to do whatever he likes and there are no consequences for him. This is just what sucks.
I will keep my head up; I know there are folks with worse circumstances. I will get by. I have a good bunch of people in my life; but I am hoping that the sun will come out again soon. Thanks for listening to my breakdown; I sure appreciate it. Without you all, I don't know how I could keep going.

Okay, so you own a business or company, and now you need to launch it online! And, you are loaded with thousands of questions as to where you will start, how to do things, and how to understand the whole process of bringing a website online, which will showcase your business. Building an online presence is not that tough as it may look like to an amateur. On the contrary it's pretty simple. The steps are easy; you buy a domain and hosting, you choose a content management system to input contents in your site, and voila! Your site is ready.
What is the buzz about?
Then why come so many people are talking globally and are endlessly getting into discussions regarding website making, domains and company names etc? That's because people who are new to website building need to clear several confusions, before they start real on the platform. Hence, this article will give you an insight into domain names, relation of them with company names, and how you relate the two, and use them for your website.
What is a domain name?
Well, first of all you will have to understand what a domain name is actually. A domain name is a name which you use to call your website. We humans have names like Joan, Peter and Mary. Similarly websites also need to be addressed by a name which gives them a unique identity. The domain names are specifically website names. Google is the domain name of the search engine website Google.com, and likewise Yahoo is the domain name of the website Yahoo.com. Hence the domain name which you would choose for your site, based on its availability will be the name by which your site would be addressed, identified, and opened globally.
Each website has a unique domain name, and to open the website in a browser the domain name has to be typed in a specific format like, www.Example.com, and this will open that specific website in front of you.
Relation of domain name with company name
The availability of domain names is a big question, as this comprises of a lot of competition. The domain name you would like to book for your website may be approached for the same reasons by several other users from around the world, and then it becomes difficult to get a chosen name. However the success of your business lies on the choice of the name initially. The closer the domain name is to your business and company, the more related they will look, and will help you in future in the branding of your business.
How to buy an apt domain name
A company name and domain name may not completely match, but a related or close looking name would go well in most cases. In case you company is a big brand, or you are planning to brand its name sooner or later, you will have to get the exact domain name, and this is possible too when you shed a lot of money for it. You can buy exact domain names from their owners, as buying and selling of important domain names is a great popular business online.
In case you want just any good name for a cheap and reasonable price, you can simply buy a good name from any domain seller and register it at standard reasonable rates.

CORTLAND, N.Y. – Senior tailback Dorian Myles (Lackawanna/Hamburg) rushed for 161 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries and caught five passes for 94 yards and a score as Cortland opened its New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) schedule with a 72-14 victory over visiting Western Connecticut State.
The Red Dragons (1-1, 1-0 NJAC) finished one point shy of tying the school single-game scoring record of 73 points, set in both 1969 vs. Brockport and 1999 vs. New Jersey City. Cortland has now reached the 70-point plateau five times in school history (71 vs. Morrisville St. in 2007, 71 vs. St. John Fisher in 1991 and the two 73-point games).
Senior quarterback Chris Rose (Victor) completed 21-of-28 passes for 233 yards and a score and ran for a 28-yard touchdown. Sophomore tailback Bronson Greene (Clifton Park/Shenendehowa) ran for three touchdowns among his eight carries.
Cortland finished with 595 yards of total offense, 339 on the ground, compared to Western's 301 yards.
Western junior running back Octavius McKoy (Stratford, CT) rushed 26 times for 124 yards and a touchdown. Sophomore quarterback Will Arndt (Newtown, CT) completed 16-of-33 passes for 201 yards, including a 59-yard touchdown pass to Marquies Highsmith (West Haven, CT). Highsmith finished with five catches for 83 yards.
Cortland freshman safety Andre Green (Philadelphia, NY/Indian River) led the Red Dragons with nine tackles and sophomore linebacker Michael McCarthy (Ronkonkoma/Sachem North) recorded an interception and a sack. Senior safety Dan Allen (Fairfield, CT/Fairfield-Warde) paced the Colonials' defense with a game-high 11 tackles. Senior linebacker Cory Lawlor (Danbury, CT) made six tackles, two for losses, and intercepted a pass.
Cortland held Western on its opening drive, then moved 65 yards on seven plays for the game's first touchdown – a Greene run from two yards out. A fumbled snap on a punt during Western's next possession gave Cortland the ball at the 3-yard line, and two plays later junior Justin Autera (Mahopac) ran in from one yard to put Cortland up 14-0 just 5:12 into the game.
The Red Dragons extended the lead to 21-0 early in the second quarter when Myles took a screen pass and raced 66 yards for a score. The Colonials answered just 52 seconds later when Highsmith caught a short pass, spun to avoid a tackle and raced down the right sideline for a 59-yard touchdown.
Cortland pushed its lead to 28-7 with 3:12 left in the half on a 75-yard burst up the middle by Myles. The Red Dragons took the opening kickoff of the second half and drove 58 yards on five plays, capped by a Myles 16-yard touchdown run, and led 34-7 after a missed extra point.
Western marched 85 yards on its next possession for its second touchdown. McKoy finished the drive with a 1-yard scoring run. Cortland junior Mike DeBole (Webster/Webster Schroeder) made a 22-yard field goal with 4:28 left in the third and led 37-14 after three quarters.
The Red Dragons outscored the Colonials 35-0 in the fourth quarter. Rose ran for a 28-yard score with 12:58 left, and Cortland recovered a fumble on the ensuing kickoff at the Western 21-yard line. Two plays later, sophomore Tyler Augliano (Watertown) threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to senior tight end Rob Von Bargen (Massapequa). The score came on Augliano's first collegiate varsity pass, and was also Von Bargen's first collegiate touchdown.
McCarthy's 39-yard interception return to the Western 11-yard line set up the next score, a Greene 7-yard run with 9:54 left. Greene also capped a 25-yard scoring drive with a 1-yard run at the 6:44 mark, and freshman Matt Deiana (Somers) finished the scoring with a 7-yard run – his first collegiate touchdown – with 1:50 left.
Cortland will travel to Morrisville State next Saturday, Sept. 22, at 7 p.m. and Western Connecticut will host Rowan Saturday at 12 p.m., both in NJAC matchups.
