Mennonite Church Manitoba
A provincial conference in Canada consisting largely, though not necessarily or entirely, of General Conference Mennonite Church (GCM) congregations, the Conference of Mennonites in Manitoba had its beginnings in the 1930s as a lay ministers' conference dealing annually with themes and problems common to lay ministers, but without an ongoing program. For a brief period (1936-38) there was also an annual delegates' session, but after 1938 it did not convene again until after World War II.
In 1947 a delegates' session was called which adopted a constitution and began a modest program of home missions. Congregations represented were all Manitoba member congregations of the Conference of Mennonites in Canada. Thirteen congregations were registered as charter members, but these included both the Bergthal and Whitewater multicongregational organizations, so that the actual number of local congregations was considerably larger.
The home missions program was gradually expanded to include a camping program (1957) which had been begun by the Manitoba Mennonite Youth Organization, with three Christian campgrounds (Camp Assiniboia, at Headingly, Camp Koinonia at Boissevain, and Camp Moose Lake at Sprague, Manitoba); an annual provincial Sunday school convention (1957); and a modest radio program (1956), which was quickly expanded into three half-hour programs on a newly opened local radio station, CFAM, in Altona, a year later.
In 1975 the Elim Bible Institute was made a Manitoba Conference institution. It closed in 1988. While the two private high schools, Westgate Mennonite Collegiate in Winnipeg and Mennonite Collegiate Institute in Gretna, are not conference schools, they move within the orbit of other conference institutions and receive some conference support.
In 1968 the large First Mennonite Church of Winnipeg joined the conference. New congregations formed after the immigration which followed World War II also joined the conference, making it an organization of 53 congregations, with a total membership of 9,199 in 1998. Its three-pronged program still emphasizes Christian education, home missions, and radio work.
In 2001 the Conference of Mennonites in Manitoba changed its name to Mennonite Church Manitoba in recognition of the transformation of the Mennonite Church and General Conference Mennonite Church into Mennonite Church USA and Mennonite Church Canada (formerly Conference of Mennonites in Canada). Instead of relating to a binational and national denominational structure, Mennonite Church Manitoba now was affiliated only with a national body. In 2001 the conference included 48 congregations with a total membership of 10,487.
In 2010 the following 50 congregations were members of Mennonite Church Manitoba:

A quorum was declared and the business meeting proceeded.
Roll call was taken. A quorum was declared and the business meeting proceeded.
Judge Paulson made a motion to approve the minutes of the November 19, 2012 meeting. The motion carried and the minutes were approved.
Chair Kapsner advised the members that the annual report of the Pattern Jury Instruction Committee was included in their conference folder. The report was included for informational purposes and no action is required.
Chair Kapsner next called on Justice Sandstrom to deliver the report of the Committee on Legislation. Justice Sandstrom began his report by acknowledging the contributions of his fellow committee members, Judge Irby and Judge Mattson, and the efforts of Jim Ganje who served as staff to the committee. He acknowledged Judge Hagerty for the weekly legislative updates she compiled and published throughout the session. The committee met weekly during the session to review legislation. The committee drafted two bills, SB 2198 and SB 2227, and worked for their passage. He acknowledged Senator Carlisle as the primary sponsor of SB 2227, the post-conviction relief bill, and Senator Miller as the primary sponsor of SB 2198, the bill on fitness to proceed evaluations, and Judge Reich for providing testimony in support of the bills. Both bills passed and he explained the changes that were made. Following the presentation on the bills, he encouraged the members of the Judicial Conference to consider future legislative changes and to contact members of the Committee on Legislation with their suggestions. The goal is to receive suggestions far enough in advance that the Committee can do the necessary research and bill drafting to bring proposed changes to the Judicial Conference for consideration at its June meetings in even-numbered years.
He then called upon staff attorney Jim Ganje to provide a summary of other legislation affecting the judiciary.
Following Mr. Ganje's presentation, Chair Kapsner opened discussion on the judicial re-districting plans that are currently out for comment. She explained that she served as Chair of the Judicial Planning Committee, and said the Judicial Planning Committee used several criteria in crafting its recommendation for re-districting. Those criteria included (1) general parity of caseloads; (2) population projections; (3) impact on travel; (4) location of community services; and (5) impact on county offices and services. She stated that she was gratified by the high degree of satisfaction for the services received and the judicial officers performing them that were included in the comments being submitted to the court. However, the Judicial Planning Committee's responsibility is to focus on what will be good for the court in the next 5 10 years. A responder system was put in place and participants were asked to vote on five questions regarding the plans.
The questions and percentage of responses received were:
Q.1: Which re-districting plan do you favor?
Q.1 Response Table:
A. Option 5 4%
B. Option 5A 17%
C. Option 5B 13%
D. All of the Above 29%
E. None of the Above 35%
Following the tally of the vote, Judge Hovey stated that he favors Option 5 because it leaves Foster County in the Southeast Judicial District.
Q. 2 Which re-districting plan do you oppose?
Q.2. Response Table
A. Option 5 14%
B. Option 5A 0
C. Option 5B 3%
D. All of the Above 31%
E. None of the Above 52%
Following the tally of the vote, Judge McCullough noted that while the vote total is significant, it does not measure the intensity of feeling behind the vote. Judge Haskell indicated that he voted against Option 5 because it would leave Kidder County in the South Central Judicial District.
Q.3 What benefits are provided in the plans? (Note: respondents were limited to one choice)
Q.3. Response Table
A. Better Election Districts 17%
B. Parity of Woork 41%
C. Better Travel 10%
D. Recognition of Population Shifts 10%/
E. Other 7%
F. No Benefits 14%
Following the tally of the vote, Judge Nelson said that he likes the idea of splitting the Northwest Judicial District because it recognizes the shift in population and work. Judge Foughty said that parity of work is an important factor, but the weighted caseload numbers should not be the deciding factor on re-districting. He said with the growing caseload in the west, any shift of resources that direction will be consumed by the western-most counties. Instead, the court should be thinking about shifting work from the west toward the east where it is unlikely there will be a major increase in caseload in the foreseeable future. Chair Kapsner noted that the Judicial Planning Commission reviewed population data from North Dakota State University Data Center and took the trends into consideration when developing their recommendation to the court. Judge Foughty also said the court should be looking at location of other services and how access to them would be affected by re-districting. He cited examples of counties using different treatment centers and jails and the potential impact if counties are moved to another district.
Q.4 What problems are created by the plans? (Note: respondents were limited to one choice; the "Other" option was treated as a vote for "none")
Q.4. Response Table
A. Unnecessary Change 20%
B. Service Interruptions 4%
C. Availability of Other Services 36%
D. Other 32%
Following the tally of the vote, Judge Sturdevant said that shifting his counties to the Northwest Judicial District would not really be a benefit to Minot because he would be bringing all of his work with him. The only benefit would be one more judge to handle conflict cases. He said all of his work is to the east and by moving him to the Northwest Judicial District he would now be pulled between servicing counties to the east and to the west. Judge Foughty acknowledged that re-districting plans should not be based on personal qualities of individuals, but he stressed that Referee Dale Thompson is an expert on the Indian Child Welfare Act. Taking him from a district that includes a reservation would be a significant loss to the Northeast Judicial District. Judge McClintock said that he has spoken to Rep. Nelson and Rep. Nelson was unaware that the court was considering re-districting. He said that Rep. Nelson was upset because the legislature addressed our needs by giving us the three judges we asked for so re-districting should be unnecessary. Chief Justice VandeWalle replied that he had told the legislature that we were reviewing re-districting plans. He said the legislature's response to our request for more judges was to ask what the court was doing to resolve its issues. In response to a question, Chair Kapsner said the Judicial Planning Commission took into consideration that the court could get zero to three new judges and developed its recommendation with those variables in mind. Judge Lee said that he voted for Other because creating a new district will result in a substantial increase in administrative costs. He said that an assistant trial court administrator would be hired and the cost would be more than the cost of hiring three deputy clerks. In response to a question, Chair Kapsner said that in making its recommendations, the Judicial Planning Committee did not anticipate increasing administration staff. Judge Hovey requested that the court consider the election cycle in the timing of any new re-districting plan.
Prior to posing question number 5, Chair Kapsner called upon Judge Jahnke to present a re-districting option developed and recommended by the Unit One judges. Judge Jahnke said that he and Judge Foughty had reviewed the report of the Judicial Planning Commission and the re-districting plans presented to the court and they worked together to develop an alternative plan. The alternative plan has been designated Option 6 and copies of the plan were distributed to the members. Judge Foughty pointed out that the copies of the plan were incorrect. Their plan was to leave Wells County in the Southeast Judicial District but the plan that was distributed reflects Wells County being moved to the Northeast Judicial District. He said that the caseload in the western half of the state is increasing rapidly and shifting counties to the west would exacerbate the issue. He suggested that the court consider shifting counties to the east where there is less of a caseload. Option 6 therefore was drafted with that shift in mind. Chair Kapsner noted that the weighted caseload numbers on the handout reflected Wells County moving into the Northeast Judicial District so they would not accurately reflect the situation if Wells County was left in the Southeast Judicial District. In response to a question, Judge Foughty said that in crafting Option 6, the judges were primarily interested in the Northeast part of the state, and they do not have an opinion on whether the Northwest Judicial District should be divided into two districts. Judge Foughty said that he would like to see the court issue a standing order so judges can work anywhere in their administrative units. He said this would address caseload issues without the disruption of re-districting. He said he believes the law requiring a 70/30 chamber designation should go. Chair Kapsner responded that the Judicial Planning Committee briefly considered the option of a standing order allowing judges to regularly work outside their district. The committee rejected this option because of a concern about separating election districts from service areas. North Dakota has chosen to have a system where people are entitled to choose the judge that will serve them and separating elections and work areas would defeat that intent. Judge Greenwood said that Option 6 adds three counties to the Southeast Judicial District and would add to the difficulty of serving the district. He said the service area is already geographically difficult to cover and this option would have Judge Narum travelling both east and west in order to cover the distance from Ashley to Wahpeton. He said judges chambered in Stutsman County currently have to cover counties to the south and to the east. With the proposed addition of these three counties, the judges would now have to travel west as well. Judge Nelson said he could support Option 6 if the option included splitting the Northwest Judicial District into two districts.
Following the discussion on Option 6, Chair Kapsner posed the remaining question.
Q. 5. If the Supreme Court decides to adopt a re-districting plan, which plan do you recommend? (Note: the "Other" option was treated as a vote for "Option 6" with the understanding that under this option Wells County would remain in the Southeast Judicial District and the Northwest Judicial District would be divided into two districts)
Q.5. Response Table
A. Option 5 0
B. Option 5A 25%0
C. Option 5B 7%
D. Other 68%
Following the tally of the vote, Judge Hovey said he favored Option 5A because it would leave Foster County in the Southeast Judicial District. He said this is important because the county is close to New Rockford and they use Tri-County Social Services. Judge McLees said he voted for Other but wants to be on record in favor of splitting the Northwest Judicial District. Judge McCullough said he voted for Other because the East Central Judicial District does not have a strong feeling on any of the re-districting plans, except that Judge Marquardt would like to see Steele County remain in the East Central Judicial District. He said he feels more strongly about the 70/30 chambering requirement than he does about re-districting. He said the court should work to get the chambering requirement changed. In response, Judge McClintock said he feels strongly about rural North Dakota, and he believes the 70/30 chambering requirement is important to safeguard the rights of rural counties. Justice Sandstrom provided the history of the 70/30 chambering requirement. He said it was enacted at the same time the legislature took out the requirement that judges have to live in the county where they are chambered. Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem said he was one of the sponsors of the 70/30 chambering requirement when he was in the legislature. He said the requirement was needed to gain the support of rural legislators for the court unification plan. He said it was intended to guarantee that rural counties would not lose judicial services because of the unification. He said since then, history has shown that the unified system has worked well and good judicial services are available everywhere.
In response to a question, Chair Kapsner said the supreme court has access to the records of the Judicial Planning Committee, but she will ensure that the court gets copies of the resolutions that were submitted to the Judicial Planning Committee.
Chair Kapsner then continued with the other items on the agenda. She advised the members that the presentation on the newly created position of Citizen Access Coordinator would be postponed until the next Judicial Conference meeting in November, but a brochure describing the new position was included in their conference folder.
Chair Kapsner opened the floor for nominations for the Chair-Elect of the Judicial Conference. Judge McCullough nominated Judge Bruce Romanick. The nomination was seconded by Justice Crothers who then moved that the nominations be closed and a unanimous ballot be cast for Judge Romanick. The motion carried and Judge Romanick was elected as the new Chair-Elect.
Chair Kapsner then passed the gavel to Judge McCullough as the new Chair of the Judicial Conference. Judge McCullough's first order of business as Chair was to present Justice Kapsner with a gift to recognize her service as Chair of the Judicial Conference.
There being no further business, the meeting was ended at 3:00 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Sally Holewa
State Court Administrator
Executive Secretary to the Judicial Conference

Brandy Reeder gives praises to her students, colleagues and administrators for being chosen as the 2012-13 Davidson County Schools Teacher of the Year.
THOMASVILLE | Brandy Reeder, fifth-grade teacher at Brier Creek Elementary School, gives praises to her students, colleagues and administrators for being chosen as the 2012-13 Davidson County Schools Teacher of the Year.
"I couldn't believe it," Reeder, 38, said. "All the people in the county are teachers of the year all the time. This is an awesome place to be. I work for some of the hardest-working people. It was amazing like I was on top of the world. It wasn't just me … it was my kids, too."
Reeder, who is in her 15th year of teaching, has taught at Fair Grove, Hasty and now Brier Creek elementary schools. She has been at Brier Creek for the past eight years.
She said it was an honor to be selected by her peers.
"I was so humbled because it means so much for the people you work with every day to recognize your efforts," she said. "It's like your family saying you're doing a good job. I wanted to make sure I represented my (school) family and make them proud."
She said the process on the district level was energizing to her because it gave her the chance to reflect. Reeder moved on to the regional competition and did not make it any further.
"It was an amazing experience," she said. "I just appreciate the experience of representing the county. I'm so happy to be part of it. There are a lot of good things going on in Davidson County."
She grew up in Davie County and received an elementary education degree from Western Carolina University in 1998. She is working on her master's degree in administration from WCU. Reeder has a sixth-grader at E. Lawson Brown Middle School.
Reeder claimed during her young days as a little girl she knew teaching was the route she wanted to pursue. She would play school with her cousins. She also gives credit to teachers she had in the third and fifth grades who influenced her.
"I've always loved helping people and (helping) children learn," she said. "It's the hardest job but most rewarding thing I could have chosen to do. It's the kids that make it amazing."
Reeder said being in education is magic because she enjoys watching students figure things out. Her favorite part is when she sees students who are struggling with a concept have that light bulb moment when they finally grasp it.
Reeder also noted that teaching is not just about the curriculum. She tries to help the students with their social skills to assist with preparing them to contribute to society.
"I love it when they do the right thing as people. I love when they help each other," she said.
She gave credit to former principals for whom she worked — Dr. Susan Allen (at Fair Grove), Dr. Denise Hedrick (at Hasty) and now Kelli Dalton (Brier Creek) — for helping her become the teacher she is today. As she becomes a leader, Reeder said she will develop qualities she learned from each of them.
"I still believe that all children can learn. I can't think of a career I would have been better suited for. Kids are wonderful," Reeder said.

Netflix Takes Over Wal-Mart's DVD Rental Store
from the taking-over dept
A few years ago, when Wal-Mart and Blockbuster were making noises about competing directly with Netflix, lots of people thought it would be difficult for Netflix to hold onto their top position. However, Netflix always claimed they'd be able to stay ahead -- and so far they're showing that's true. A few people submitted the story this morning, but Wal-Mart has given up on its own DVD rental service to turn it over to Netflix. This comes just a week or so after a fight on Blockbuster's board over whether or not it should drop out of the online DVD rental space and rumors that Amazon wants to partner with Netflix as well, rather than compete with them. The Wal-Mart offering never got very much traction anyway, and Netflix was easily able to stay ahead. It looks like these other companies are recognizing that what Netflix has done wasn't quite as easy as they believed.

What about the part where a mob of angry protesters are surrounding the AFP tent and trying to rip it down with people still inside? The D-bag, as you refer to him, was standing just outside that tent, surrounded by hundreds of hostile people. I find it extremely hard to believe that the union dude felt "threatened". I find it more likely he was emboldened and egged on by a crowd of screaming protesters and grew the mob equivalent of "beer muscles".

12.19.12: The CCRI Knights men's basketball team hosted the Lions of Gateway Community College from New Haven, CT for a Region XXI non-league game on Wednesday night at the Vincent A. Cullen Fieldhouse. The knights defeated the lions 81-71. With the victory the Knights improve to 9-4 on the season and 5-2 in Region XXI play.
The Knights ended the semester on a high note by defeating a very tough Gateway CC team that came into the game with an impressive 6-1 record coming into the game. It was an up and down game of the Knights as they would get many leads but the Lions kept roaring back. The Knights jumped out to a 15 point lead early in the half before gateway was able to cut the lead to six points with about five minutes left in the half. The Knights would close out the half outscoring the Lions by nine points to take a comfortable 42-27 lead into the break. The Knights quickly extended their lead to 21 points by starting the half with a 9-2 run just two minutes into the second half. However, Gateway would not go quietly as they used timely 3-point shooting to cut the Knights lead to 10 points with about five minutes remaining in the game. However, the Knights withstood the Gateway pressure to hold onto the 10 point lead to win by the final score of 81-71.
Leading the way for the Knights was Co-Captain Desmond Williams (Torrington, CT) scoring a team-high 22 points with six rebounds, four assist, two steals, and a blocked shot followed by his backcourt mate Co-Captain Bryan Yarce (Cranston, RI) with 13 points a game-high seven assists and two steals. Also helping the Knights was Co-Captain Isaac Medeiros (Johnston, RI) charting a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds and freshman guard Jerome Harris (Hartford, CT) added 12 points and five rebounds.
Head Coach Rick Harris commented after the game: "Nice way to wrap-up the first semester. Having played 10 road games we will gladly take our 9-4 record. Our guys have progressed very nicely and are coming together beautifully as a team. They will get a much needed break before we get back together later next week and travel to Florida. Hopefully, the trip and games against high-powered Division I competition will allow us to raise our game to the level we need to be at to win region, district and a national championship!"
The Knights next game will be December 29th and 30th when they travel to Lake Worth Florida to play two games versus two top-tier Division I opponents on the 29th they will face 13-3 State College of Florida Manatee-Sarasota and Sunday they will face No. 6 ranked (NJCAA DI poll) 15-0 Palm Beach State College who are led by URI transfer Jonathon Holton who averages 17.3 points per game, 11.6 rebounds per game, and 2.6 blocks per game.

I am a beginner in mountaineering. In fact, I've only been to Mt Elbrus (that's in Russia, about 5600 meters or 18000ft). I rented La Sportiva Trango boots then, which were a bit too cold even with adequate socks, but fit me very well. Now, I want to go there again this summer and I thought I'd buy boots this time. Problem is, I live in Virginia where there are no stores I know of that carry that kind of boots. So I cannot walk in a store and try a half a dozen brands on.
I bought Scarpa Invernos online, one size larger than my running shoes. They fit great everywhere except they are tight right above the heel (right about where that metal pin is). I mean even with a normal cotton sock I feel like my foot is being squeezed in that area. So I exchanged them for 1.5 sizes larger than my running shoes but it still was the same.
I thought that well, Scarpa makes shoes that do not fit me. But may be La Sportiva will fit then, since I was pretty comfortable in Trangos. I bought Nepal Evos, they just arrived yesterday. And I have the same exact problem with them as well! Imagine my frustration Now I guess my feet are non-standard-for-mountaineering somehow
So I wonder - anyone out there had any similar experiences? Anyone could offer any advice? Any help is much appreciated. I don't really know what to do next except to fly to e.g. Seattle and get to REI store there.

Spoiler for Final Episode spoilers:
As far as final impressions, this series is a mixed bag. It started out good, peaked around 24th episode, but then the obsession with recycling the decor idea really hurt it in the long run. There were some good character episodes and fun ones (especially the Happy Robo one), but the last 4-5 episodes really threw most out of the window. A shame, really.
Next week it's Doki Doki time, we'll see.

Indeed, such a shame that the series turned out this way. They came up with a great cast, but it seem like they didn't know how to utilize them to their fullest potential.
Not going to have much expectations for Doki Doki at this point.

Ah nice drama there, but looks like i was wrong to have expectation about last battle to look like the first time they fight Pierrot (around 24 - 25?)
Overall series impression...
This series has a solid cast, with all nice characterization.
Miyuki is a typical heroine cast with natural airhead characterization. But without doubt, she is the one uniting all the Precure and keep supporting them as leader.
Akane is the tomboy of the team. I really really like the episode where she experience her first love. One of the best episode there.
Yayoi, the crybaby. Every episode i look forward doing jan-ken with her.
Nao, my favourite character voiced by my favourite seiyuu. Enjoying much pic of her unofficial yuri relationship with Reika. :3
Akane, the cool beauty. Errr, nothing much to say about this one. Refer to Nao.
My only complaint is for the 2nd half (episode 26 - 48), I completely disappointed with the battle scene. Every Akanbe is being spammed with the power of Pegasus and Phoenix.
But as my first Precure serie, Smile Precure is very enjoyable.

Overall, the series was "ok". To be honest, if it wasn't for Yayoi's quirks and the villians I would say it was kinda bad.
Anyways, next week new PreCure series. Let's hope this one has more stuff going for it.
Now I'm off to finish watching the 1st PreCure series (halfway through). After that, Idk which one should I go for, Suite or Yes!.

The good:
* Cutest character designs for the Precure franchise so far.
* Characters all got their turns in the spotlight, and nobody was forgotten as the story progressed. Akane and Nao were too similar though, since both were hotbloods focused on sports and family. Also, with regards to family IIRC oddly enough while we meet her grandmother Miyuki's direct family seems irrelevant unlike the other Cures.
* Music is quite good, nothing that makes me want to cover my ears.
* Brilliant episodes: the mid-season battle and introduction of Rainbow Burst, Happy Robo, being turned into kids, Cinderella Miyuki, etc.
The bad:
* The battles in the beginning were pretty bad, since they were just "hit Akanbe with purification attack, if fail be totally helpless until new Cure shows up to hit the Akanbe with theirs".
* While the themes of happiness, hope and despair were well used, the motif of fairy tales took a back seat for the most part.
* The Mysterious Library is underused. It's only relevant for a very small number of mostly filler episodes, and the show's plot wouldn't change at all if it was written out.
* I'm tired of Toei's Edo set. I didn't expect that to show up in anime form. -_-
* Time wasting and bad pacing. Heck, the second half of the show was a repeat of the first, with the Decor collecting and the doom clock, and episodes that could have fit just as well into the first half, when the writers should have taken the chance to kick the show up a notch.
* The episodes with the character development and upgraded attack introductions should have been much earlier, and the Bad End Precure really should have been more than MotW.
* Production cheapness: The episode where the villain trio turned back into fairies had noticeably inconsistent art, Royal Rainbow Burst is a copy of the normal Rainbow Burst (quite frankly, they should have just dropped one). Epilogue uses recycled animation from the OP.
* Besides just suddenly showing up, everything about the finale episodes felt rushed and flat. The villain trio being all fairies had absolutely no buildup before the reveal. Even Pop hadn't recognized them before. Having the Precure fall and have to pick themselves up twice during the battle disrupted the emotions that the writers were trying to evoke. It doesn't help that the final scene of the epilogue with Candy showing up again basically crapped on the drama 15 minutes earlier (at least it wasn't stretched out into multiple episodes like the DD or Lotte finales).
final score: 7/10. While the show was enjoyable by its individual episodes, the main plot didn't feel like it held together well or that the writers made an effort. The fillers were actually more interesting than the main plot.

Just finished watching Smile Precure. I think the Smile Precure series as a whole is a pretty good show. It has such a great start, a pretty good premise, interesting and likable characters (Yayoi is my most favorite character from Smile Precure), while being super funny most of the time; the funniest episodes are the best and they are super re-watchable.
I know Smile is not perfect and it's not as good as HeartCatch Precure was, especially when I expected a way more powerful ending for Smile Precure. The ending is not bad in my opinion, but it doesn't add anything special or new which hasn't been done in earlier Precure or other Mahou Shoujo series, there are no surprises at all. Even the end boss looks kinda similar to the one (in final form) in the first Precure All-Stars DX movie. Though I do like the fact that Candy is the Princess. I guess it's still an anime show for kids, so the producers don't want to make it too complicated for the young audience.
As for the quality for animation and character design, I think they are pretty consistent (most consistent quality is in Heartcatch Precure in my opinion), at least better than the Fresh and Suite Precure series. But I remember one particular episode of Smile Precure in the summer period (the summer festival episode?) was particularly bad in terms of animation and the graphics, especially for the main characters. It's almost felt like the main staff was on summer vacation, while Toei was hiring some replacements to do that episode.
Nonetheless, Smile Precure in my opinion is a pretty good and the funniest (perhaps thanks to Yayoi-chan) Precure show with some flaws (mostly the ending and 2nd part of the show), but it's in no way a bad Precure show like Fresh and Suite Precure were; both Fresh and Suite were really jumping the shark with the direction, story-telling and art direction (very inconsistent and poor art/animation quality).
I am giving Smile Precure a 7 out of 10 (½ point deducted because of formulistic ending).

Episode 47-48:
I'm rather pleased with the last two episodes. Good action + some drama from the precures. Royal Candy somehow reminds me of Shiny Luminous from Precure Max Heart. Anyway, candy proved to quite reliable, espescially in episode 47. And Emperor Pierrot (before he turned into a blackhole) looks badass, he's the final boss for sure.
At the final episode, I thought it would be the standard boss gets defeated by beam spam.. the "hug" sure took me by surprise.
I wish they would have season 2! Going to misss Miyuki and friends.
Final score: 8/10

Episode 29
The Smile summer vacation episode is pretty fun. Lots of silliness all around, and Cure Beauty manages to save the day because she's boring. The artwork is pretty good too - you can tell the staff had fun making this episode. Of the different matches, I liked the Whack-a-Mole, Bowling and Painting ones the most - Cure Peace's little snort of victory is just too perfect!
It's not quite as good as the one in Heartcatch (because none of the cast can match Erika's sheer attitude), but it's highly entertaining. I'm not sure how anyone can say that Smile Precure is a bad show.

Episode 30
Another fun episode as the Precure team saves money and breaks all sorts of immigrations laws by using magic to travel all over the world. There's lots of fun moments with Yayoi taking pictures everywhere she goes (she doesn't take nearly as many as I do!) and Nao threatening to exhaust the entire world's food supplies. Red Oni sneaking into the picture on the Amazon was pretty neat too.
The production team didn't pull all the stops for action in this episode, but mermaid mode was pretty creative.
Cure Peace uses lightning -> It's super effective! -> Everyone dies!I do wish that Cure March got to attack; I wonder how the heck they would have animated that.
At this point, Smile Precure is horribly entertaining. I'm enjoying this show more than any other anime currently airing right now.

What is Blood Pressure?Blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of arteries. Blood pressure is recorded as two numbers—the systolic pressure (when the heart muscle contracts) over the diastolic pressure (when the heart muscle is resting between beats and refilling with blood). Learn more about blood pressure readings , or watch an animation of blood pressure.
What is High Blood Pressure?High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, means the blood running through your arteries flows with too much force and puts too much pressure on your arteries, stretching them past their healthy limit and causing small tears. Our body then kicks into injury-healing mode to repair these tears with scar tissue. But the scar tissue traps substances that make up plaque and can lead to blockages, blood clots, and hardened, weakened arteries.
Several factors can increase your risk of high blood pressure, including family history, advanced age, lack of physical activity, poor diet, gender-related risk patterns, overweight and obesity, and drinking too much alcohol. Learn more about high blood pressure risk factors.
Why Manage Blood Pressure?Uncontrolled high blood pressure can injure or kill you. It's sometimes called "the silent killer" because it has no symptoms. One in three adults has high blood pressure; yet, many people don't know they have it. So it's important to have your doctor check your blood pressure.
Blockages and blood clots mean less blood can get to our vital organs, and without blood, the tissue dies. That's why high blood pressure can lead to stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, and even heart failure.
More than 75 percent of Americans who have a stroke have high blood pressure.
What is the Heart/Brain Connection?What helps your heart can help your brain, too. Following a heart-healthy lifestyle can help reduce your blood pressure, lower your chances of having a stroke or heart disease and can make a big difference in your mental abilities as you age.
Risk factors that can lead to heart disease and stroke, such as physical inactivity and obesity, can also contribute to dementia, Alzheimer's disease, memory loss and cognitive dysfunction. Similar to high blood pressure, those risk factors can lead to narrowing of the blood vessels, which reduces blood flow to the brain and leads to hardening of the arteries of the heart and brain.
How Can I Reduce My Blood Pressure?The good news is that high blood pressure can be checked, lowered and controlled. Whether your blood pressure is high or normal (normal is less than 120 mm Hg systolic AND less than 80 mm Hg diastolic or <120/80), the following lifestyle modifications can help you live heart and brain healthy:
- Eat a healthy diet, including reducing salt intake.
- Engage in regular physical activity and maintain a healthy weight.
- Manage stress.
- Avoid tobacco smoke.
- Take your medication as prescribed.
- If you drink alcohol, limit the amount.

Don't really know which other forum this would belong in, so I'm just gonna go ahead and post it here. I'm finally getting around to ordering the Dip-Bringer t-shirts (as seen in this strip, art is the same thing, with copyright info in the corner)!
Don't quite know when they'd be ready--word from the printer is mid-June--but I do know they'd be super-cheap (probably $7.50 plus shipping, or so). So if you want one, you should totally send me a PM and we'll figure something out (be sure to include your size!).

The Abbott government is rejecting claims that asylum seekers in Nauru have been told their future could be in Cambodia.
Australia is on the verge of signing a memorandum of understanding with the Southeast Asian nation, which would allow refugees processed on Nauru to resettle there.
A number of family groups at the Nauru detention centre have reportedly been told they will be sent to Cambodia if they're found to be genuine refugees.
But a spokeswoman for Immigration Minister Scott Morrison denied those claims on Wednesday, saying no such message had been given by the Australian government to transferees at Nauru.
"It is likely that transferees may have been made aware of media reporting on these issues," the spokeswoman told AAP.
Refugee groups and the Australian Greens have raised concerns about the resettlement plan, citing Cambodia's human rights record.
Federal Labor is also worried but won't say whether it will seek to block it.
Deputy Opposition Leader Tanya Plibersek says her party is "gravely" concerned about poverty and security in Cambodia, as it seeks more details on the proposal.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott has been accused of applying a double standard to the Cambodia deal, given his party's criticism and blocking of the Malaysia people-swap plan when Labor was in power.
A Nauru government spokesman said asylum seekers had been told that if granted refugee status, they would be temporarily resettled on Nauru for up to five years.
After that, they would be settled in a third country.
"No one has been told that they will immediately be sent to a third country," the spokesman told AAP.

A really good improvement over Heroquest. It requires a lot of imagination from both GM and players as they cooperate to make characters and worlds.
It does clear up my initial misgiving from the free preview, as it needs less than half the aspects I thought it did.
Easiest way in the world to run superheroes as it has almost no number crunching.
Can use any scenario from any game system as it ignores all the fiddly bits and numbers in favor of the feel of traps, monsters and other do dahs.
Anything you can imagine you can do with almost no work.
This is the game I've been looking for. Other Worlds is a very adaptable and cinematic system. The focus is on making interesting stories that make sense. Conflict resolution is very elegant and shows you how to keep the story moving forward win or lose. Character generation is extremely customizable and ensures your characters are tied to the setting and the story right away.
I'll be honest, I was a little hesitant with this game at first. Most of my experience has been with more crunchy games. The same for my players. But we've played this several times now and my group is still eager for more.
The only thing I'd throw out as a caution is the little bit of front-end work that needs to be done when you set up characters or a new campaign. In fairness, I took a lot of this on myself as the GM. The book recommends doing some collaborative world building and I should have listened. It's not at all hard, but many hands make light work. I can only see that making my results even better next time.
This could be one of the best deals in pdf and worth every penny.
OW is a cinematic-style role playing game. It has good mechanics for describing abilities abstractly. The book is lengthy but easy to read and understand. It does handle a wide variety of game worlds. OW lives up to the hype.
An awesome product.
This book does, for me, what HeroWars/HeroQuest set out to do...build a rules-medium Narrativist RPG where The Setting Matters.
Building on Robin Laws' foundations, this iteration gets it right: it's smooth, infinitely expandable, and, best of all, no wonky dice mechanics, instead, there's a simple, intuitive percentile engine.
Well-written, beautifully illustrated by Storn Cook, packed with examples of how to hack the system for everything from D&D-esque fantasy to mecha sci-fi, to gritty cop drama, this is the game that could bring storygames to the grognards.
Love it, love it, love it...one of my favorite RPG purchases of 2011.
I've had a read through of Other Worlds, and in some ways I like what I see and in some ways I don't. There's a lot to this book, and I think it is well written and explained. I'm just not quite so sure that Mark managed to achieve the rules light system he was after.
I find the chapter on world building great, and I love the idea of the GM and the players getting together and building their world together with equal input. Very nice idea that has been bandied around a bit, but this is the first time I've seen it laid out in black and white.
The character generation system is in it's own way innovative, and I like what it is to a point. The establishment of templates is a great idea, which creates a lot of freedom but I feel potential limits character generation to a degree as well. All templates follow the same patter of 8 skills, 4 traits, 4 relationships, 4 goals, 4 flaws. Granted you don't have to take all that's offered, but removing any of the template "bits" doesn't allow you to add anything in it's place. Each character gets 3 templates; cultural, professional, and an Individuality template which is designed purely by the player. Trademarks are added, which are just another template following the same design as all the others but can represent things like gadgets, powers, pets, race, etc.
Games can be set at various power levels from neophytes to god-like beings, which makes sense for a game that can be used to play the Famous 5 or the Justice League. This is a great touch, but really not much different to what many universal systems try to achieve. I think Other Worlds does this well though.
The system itself is a fairly easy to learn percentile system, modified by the game's power level and a character's abilities. Easy to learn and simple to apply.
NPCs are often just simplified characters with fewer templates. I like the idea of simple NPCs, so it gets a big tick for that.
There is lots of GM advice on how to run an Other Worlds game, but I find the advice useful for just about any game, and well worth the read. I don't think that any GM can say that they can't improve their skills in some manner, and this section does a good job of providing a great toolkit.
I have to say the character sheet is just plain ugly, and looks confusing to read. Not sure how it would work in a game, but I can see players desperately trying to find their skills and abilities which are scattered all over the sheet.
Overall, I give the game 3 and a half dice out of 5. I like it, but I'm not sure I would play it.
Disclaimer: My name is listed as a playtester in the book, but in fact I only provided some observations about a previous draft. I must say, however, that I am very biased, as I a was excited about this project right from the beginning.
Other Worlds (OW) is a very well done conflict-based generic game. Player characters are made up of abstract abilities grouped into Cultural and Professional templates to which other abilities reflecting the character's specific individuality are added. Depending on the genre, characters can also have one or more Trademark templates which include special powers, magic, abilities reflecting the characteristics of sci-fi or fantasy races, special equipment (like having a super-spy car or a tricked-out Corellian tramp freighter), etc. Each ability gets an specific rating based on the power level of the game and can be used both as the base ability in a given conflict or as a supporting ability, increasing the base ability's rating. Anything can be an ability, and any ability can be used in a specific conflict: personality traits or quirks, professional skills, relationships, whatever.
Rolls are made using percentile dice in a very abstract resolution system which can be easily adapted to the flavour and tone of most any settings, with the possibility of using a more detailed resolution method for specially important or exciting conflicts. Consequences translate into new abilities which can help or hamper the character in further conflicts. Spotlight Points can be also used to modifiy the result of a roll.
Even though you can easily use OW to play in a stablished setting, one of its main strengths lays in the setting creation chapter. In OW, the group as whole creates the setting in which they want to play. It is basically a group brainstorming exercise in which genre, tone, setting details and main NPCs are created by the group. The rules also facilitate adding further detail to your gameworld as the game develops. Even if you have no interest at all in brainstorming a new setting with your players, you can easily use this chapter as a guideline for quickly creating a playable gameworld on your own. There is also an excellent chapter on customizing OW and adapting any setting, and a few short genre snapshots for sci-fi, superheroes, fantasy, pirates and wild west games.
The quality of writing is excellent and a generous amount of advice for playing the game can be found throughout the book, covering all you need to take into account to play OW. All this is wrapped in a simple but very professional and attractive layout by none other than Evil Hat's Fred Hicks, with a good number of eye-catching art pieces by Storn Cook.

Disarmament internships
The Australian Permanent Mission to the United Nations in Geneva and Delegation to the Conference on Disarmament offers the opportunity for Australians to undertake voluntary internships on a self-funded basis during busy periods in the disarmament and arms control meeting calendar.
The Permanent Mission seeks people with the skills, education, knowledge and abilities to contribute to advancing Australia's disarmament and arms control interests in the UN. Applicants should possess relevant qualifications and background, with preference being given to students or those at an early stage in their careers who have recently (within the last two years) completed, or are close to completing, tertiary studies in relevant fields such as international relations, international security, international law (including international humanitarian law), defence studies or science and technology. Prior exposure to, or demonstrated knowledge of, the United Nations system is highly desirable. Female applicants are encouraged to apply.
Applications for disarmament internships in 2019 will be open from:
- 5 November to 9 December 2018 (for an internship around April to May 2019)
- 20 May to 9 June 2019 (for an internship around November to December 2019)
Please note that applications received outside these dates will not be considered.
Please note that applicants for the human rights internship at the Permanent Mission may submit separate applications for the disarmament internship.
Internship Program in the Australian Permanent Mission
Each year, two internships are offered to cover a range of disarmament and arms control meetings in Geneva. Depending on the time of year, these could include the Conference on Disarmament as well as meetings under a range of instruments such as the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), Biological Weapons Convention (BWC), Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW), Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM), Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (MBC) and UN Programme of Action on small arms and light weapons.
Prospective interns are asked to be available for around eight weeks, though some flexibility can be considered. Final dates can be settled with the Mission once an intern has been offered a position.
Delegation to the Conference on Disarmament
The Australian Permanent Mission and the Delegation to the Conference on Disarmament is responsible for representing Australia's interests in the United Nations disarmament and arms control system in Geneva. The work is rigorous and diverse, requiring flexibility, clear thinking and a fundamental understanding of diplomatic principles. The environment is complex and demanding but the work is highly rewarding for the right people.
Geneva has long been a global centre for disarmament and arms control. The Conference on Disarmament is the principal negotiating forum for disarmament treaties and meets in Geneva for 24 weeks a year. A number of arms treaties have their secretariats and principal meetings in Geneva, including the BWC, CCW, MBC, and the CCM. The Australian Permanent Mission in Geneva is active in meetings and processes on the Arms Trade Treaty, small arms and light weapons, armed violence, and other humanitarian disarmament issues.
The job
Under the guidance of experienced officers, interns will be involved in supporting and advancing Australia's interests at the international level in a wide range of areas. You will need to develop a sound understanding of government policy particularly as it relates to the area of work to which you are assigned. As an intern you may be required to represent the Australian Government in a formal capacity – for example, by assisting with negotiations of texts and attending committees and meetings.
Much of the work of the Australian Mission revolves around preparing for, attending and reporting on conferences and meetings. Meeting activity is fairly constant throughout the year.
During the internships, interns will be expected to attend regular formal and informal meetings. Daily meetings usually take place from 10.00am to 1.00pm and from 3.00pm to 6.00pm but working groups and side panels also occur at different times throughout the session. Be prepared for a busy schedule and working days that will often extend beyond these set times.
As much as possible, the Mission will take into consideration the particular interests of interns when allocating tasks and meeting attendances.
Our internship training
The training provided to interns at the Mission is very much "on-the-job". You will learn first-hand how the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade functions and gain a useful understanding of diplomatic protocol. In the course of your internship, you will need to develop networks with representatives of other States, international organisations and NGOs, gain working knowledge of key departments and personnel and come to grips with, amongst other things, the complexities of UN meetings and rules of procedure. In addition to attending formal and informal meetings, interns will be expected to contribute to the regular reporting undertaken by Mission officers and a range of other tasks.
Who we are looking for
We are particularly interested in candidates with academic qualifications in disciplines relating specifically to disarmament and arms control. An academic background in international law will also be considered favourably, although it is not an essential requirement.
The candidates we are looking for are:
• talented, highly motivated and committed to the goals of the Mission;
• good communicators with excellent oral and written communication skills;
• self-motivated and innovative;
• strategic thinkers and practical problem-solvers;
• team players with good organisational skills;
• very flexible, adaptable and resourceful; and
• sensitive to, and appreciative of diversity.
We particularly welcome applications from female candidates.
Obligatory Requirements
Before lodging an application for a position, please ensure that you meet the minimum criteria for consideration listed below.
You must be an Australian citizen to apply. If you are not an Australian citizen, you should not submit an application.
You should:
• be a current student or at an early stage in your career
• possess relevant qualifications and background with preference being given to those who have recently (within the last two years) completed, or are close to completing, tertiary studies in areas such as international relations, international security, international law (including international humanitarian law), defence studies or biological sciences;
• have prior exposure to, or demonstrated knowledge of, the United Nations system (highly desirable although not essential);
• be willing to undergo a mandatory police check;
• be willing to re-locate to Geneva, on a self-funded basis, which includes arranging travel, visa, accommodation, and health insurance.
Conduct and Ethics
The Mission demands the highest standards of professional conduct from its employees. Ethical conduct by staff and interns contributes significantly to the efficiency and effectiveness of the workplace and to the standing of the Mission and its employees in Australia and internationally.
In agreeing to participate in the Mission's Internship Program and undertake duties as directed, interns are required to comply with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade's Locally Engaged Staff Code of Conduct, which takes account of the particular significance of the department\'s representational role outside Australia.
Self-funded and voluntary
The Mission is not able to provide financial assistance to successful applicants. You are responsible for your own travel, visa, accommodation, and health insurance arrangements. Be prepared: the cost of living is high in Geneva. Be prepared for a cost of 2 to 3 thousand dollars per month in addition to your flights.
Applicants may not be given much notice before the internship commences. We urge you to consider this when making your application and ensure that you are prepared both for the financial and time considerations of a successful application.
Applications for the Internship Program should include a letter of application, CV, the completed internship questionnaire (see below) and must be received by email or post. E-mail is preferred.
If you are a student, we particularly welcome applications that include a reference or letter of support from your University.
Applications may be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com or posted to:
Disarmament Internship Program
Australian Permanent Mission to the UN
Chemin des Fins 2
Case Postale 102
1211 Geneva 19
Applicants are asked to complete the attached internship questionnaire. Responses should be no more than 150 words per question. The questionnaire is designed to assess your suitability to perform the duties of the position including personal qualities, experience, skills and knowledge relevant to the work of an intern at the Mission.
Internship Questionnaire
1. What are your particular interests in the field of disarmament and arms control?
2. Briefly outline a recent achievement, project or task that demonstrates your analytical and research skills and your ability to think strategically.
3. Provide a recent example of how you have used your written and oral communication skills to achieve an outcome, in your studies, in the workplace, or elsewhere.
4. Provide a recent example of how you have used your organisational skills and your ability to work under pressure with limited guidance and to manage conflicting priorities.
5. It is essential that our interns can work effectively within a team and demonstrate significant flexibility in their approach to the work of the Mission. Describe a recent example that demonstrates your team skills and flexibility.
6. Please list any countries outside Australia in which you have lived in the past 10 years.
Short-listed candidates may be interviewed by the Internship Selection Committee via phone or in person (in Geneva) if convenient. The Internship Selection Committee will advise successful candidates in writing (usually by email), after which they will have to undertake a police clearance.
Requests for further information should be emailed to

2nd inmate faces murder charge in prisoner death
August 18, 2014
CLINTON, Mass. (AP) — A second inmate is headed to court to face a murder charge in connection with the death of another prisoner.
The Worcester district attorney's office says Michael Freeman is scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Clinton District Court in connection with the death last Tuesday of 72-year-old William Sires.
Sires, serving a life sentence for killing his mother in 1973, was found beaten in his cell at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Facility in Shirley. He died en route to a hospital.
Authorities say Sires was beaten so severely he was barely recognizable. The beating followed an argument between Sires and several other inmates.
Another inmate pleaded not guilty last week.
It was not clear if Freeman had a lawyer.

Bridging a Language Barrier
Sandy Arreguin '05 and Armando Salinas '13 work together at the Friendship House, a Peoria nonprofit that provides a variety of services to the community.
By Frank Radosevich II
March 19, 2013
When Sandy Arreguin '05 began searching for an intern to volunteer at the Friendship House, a Peoria-based nonprofit, she found what she was looking for at her alma mater.
Arreguin, who directs the organization's Latino outreach and advocacy, case management and education programs, needed someone who could help bridge the language barrier for its Spanish-speaking clients. She found that connection in criminal justice major Armando Salinas '13.
"We're like the yellow pages of the Latino community," Arreguin said of the Friendship House. "So to have an intern like Armando, especially with the skills that he has, is very helpful. It makes everything we do for our clients a lot easier."
Arreguin estimated about 90 percent of the clients visiting with Salinas only speak Spanish, so his language and personal skills are key to helping them navigate through language barriers, legal procedures and cultural differences. Salinas said he enjoys the work and getting to know the clients.
"We have mostly Hispanic families who come in, and our job is to help them with any kind of service, whether it's translating documents, offering advice or filling out an application," said Salinas, who spends three afternoons a week volunteering at the Friendship House's offices in Peoria. So far, he has critiqued resumes, helped complete job applications and assisted clients in the nonprofit's food pantry.
Salinas' internship is part of Bradley's greater mission of service to the Peoria community and beyond. Student groups and University events, such as the Bradley Fellows, the Volunteer Fair and Service on Saturday, provide students with dozens of options to work with various community agencies and their specific volunteer needs. For instance, during the 2011-12 academic year, Bradley hosted six Service on Saturday events and saw more than 670 students volunteer more than 2,000 hours of community service.
Salinas said his classes at Bradley have helped him learn about the legal challenges people can face. In fact, he found his internship through a professor who taught Arreguin and him as undergraduates at Bradley.
"It is rewarding to have an alumna come back to campus and seek out Bradley students to serve as interns for her organization," said Dr. Craig Curtis, associate professor of political science, who teaches classes for the criminal justice major. "When Sandy contacted me about this internship, Armando was one of the first students that I thought about as a good fit for the organization."
Salinas said the overall experience has made him a more well-rounded person and has given him a unique perspective to the world of social services. He hopes to expand his role at the Friendship House by accompanying clients to court or conducting home visits.
"You gain a lot of experience," Salinas said of this internship. "There are so many services that you learn a little bit of everything."

Malaga offers visitors great restaurants, excellent museums and historic monuments. But the biggest magnet of the capital of the Costa del Sol are the nearby sandy beaches. You don't even have to leave town to enjoy the beach. Whether you are looking to relax or party the night away, you'll find everything you need within a 15-kilometre radius of Malaga.
There are 15 beaches within the city limits. The 2 most popular destinations, Malagueta and La Caleta, are within walking distance from the city centre. Both beaches are framed by a long boulevard, perfect for joggers and cyclists. To escape the crowds, take a car or bus and head east to the beaches near the village of Rincón de la Victoria. West of the city, things get a lot livelier around the tourist resort of Torremolinos.
The dark sand of Playa la Malagueta, Malaga's best-know city beach, stretches from the port for more than a kilometre along the homonymous neighbourhood of La Malagueta. If the kids get bored building sand castles there are plenty of playgrounds, and adults can find culinary pleasure in the local tapas bars or the popular Japanese-Andalusian fusion restaurant 'Ba Japonés'. After sunset, the action moves to Muelle Uno, a renovated pier packed with shops and eateries on the other side of the harbour.
The relaxing 2-kilometre-long beach of Rincón de la Victoria is just a 20 minute drive from downtown Malaga. For active travellers there are paddle boards, paddle bikes, table tennis tables, slides and even a climbing wall. You can also just relax on sun loungers or snooze in the soft grass in the shade underneath the palm trees that line the beach. You are never far from a 'chiringuito' (as the locals refer to the beach side restaurants): for example Chiringuito Marina Playa is popular for its outstanding dishes made with fresh fish.
Near the tourist resort of Torremolinos, just south of Malaga´s airport, lies Playa Los Álamos. In the daytime the beach attracts many young visitors, but it's also sought after by families with children. The stiff wind that often blows here guarantees hours of kitesurfing or windsurfing fun. But things really get hopping after sunset. The many bars and night clubs throw a great party. Especially in July, when the region plays host to the Los Álamos Beach Festival.

His career on the wane and his marriage to a narcissistic actress in shambles, an uninspired screenwriter finds his passions awoken in ways that he never expected after making the acquaintance of a bisexual teenage street hustler. Tibor is in his mid-fifties, and lately his career prospects have been looking especially bleak.
Though his wife was once a famous actress, these she's lucky to find a substantial role in provincial theater. One day, while his wife is out of town, Tibor meets an effeminate street thug named Zsolt.
While in the past Tibor has always considered himself strictly heterosexual, there's something about Zsolt that he cannot resist and he eventually invites the boy back to his apartment.
His creative spirit reawakened by the experimental affair, the writer eventually realizes just how risky the relationship is and subsequently attempts to sever his ties with the smoldering gigolo.
But ending the affair isn't going to be so easy, because Tibor is just another john to Zsolt, and the scheming street ruffian certainly isn't above a little blackmail when it comes to keeping their relationship low-key.

Fire Marshal: Gas Leak Caused Apartment Blast [VIDEO]
Authorities say natural gas leaking from an appliance caused an accidental explosion that blew off the top two floors of a Haddon Heights apartment building and left two women hospitalized.
Camden County Fire Marshal Paul Sandrock says the leak occurred Saturday afternoon in a second-floor unit in the Haddon Heights building, but didn't specify the appliance. Gas accumulated on the third floor, and the explosion and subsequent fire occurred when the second-floor tenant started her stove.
Authorities say the woman suffered critical burns, while another woman was treated for minor injuries.
Witnesses who live nearby said the blast shook their homes and the fire quickly destroyed the building. The building remained cordoned off Sunday as crews worked to clear the site and investigators continued to sort through the rubble.

Building owners let profits leak from inefficient electrical systems all the time, but concern for this year's bottom line may scare them away from investing in a fix. Pitching upgrades to frugal execs may be tough, but thanks to high peak demand charges, Summer is the season to try. And Ray Crespo, vice president of Brooklyn, N.Y.-based Energy Conservation & Supply, says these extra steps can help you convert that pitch into a sale.
Climb the ladder — You'll need buy-in from operations staff, but the bean counters will ultimately sign off on the project. "Start in the accounts payable department and work your way up to the CFO," Crespo says. "They're always looking for cost-cutting measures."
Come prepared — It's not enough to say, "You'll save money." Build your pitch on a strong business case that starts with an energy survey of the facility in question — Crespo conducts them for free. "If you can show an annual ROI of more than 33%, it's pretty much a slam dunk," he says.
Change your clock — Your calendar may end on Dec. 31, but your customer's may not. Get on their fiscal cycle, and you may find a more receptive client. "It's a minor detail," Crespo says. "But a lot of companies make decisions at the end of their fiscal year based on how much money they have left in their coffers."
Get money back — An upgrade that saves your customer money is good. An upgrade that saves them money and costs less is better, so find any rebates that may apply. "Rebates can turn a 20% annual ROI into a 40% annual ROI," Crespo says. "And that changes your pricing matrix right away."

Nicky Fratino at home with mother
NEW MILFORD -- Nicholas Fratino, the 9-year-old victim of a propane explosion that destroyed a New Milford home in August, is doing well and living with his mother, Kim Fratino, and his brother, Anthony IV.
Initially it had been reported the two Fratino boys were living with their paternal grandfather in Bridgewater.
However, they have been with their mother, Kim Fratino, and her Bridgewater relatives since the accident, attorney Amy Klein's office said Monday.
Klein has been appointed by the Probate Court to oversee the boys' welfare. Their father, Anthony Fratino III, was killed in the propane explosion.
"The boys are doing fine," Kim Fratino said Monday. "Things are getting back to normal. We're at home in New Milford now. They're having sleep-overs here with their friends. Things are back to day to day."

Azusa, I find your lack of faith (in Yui) disturbing...
...but unsurprising.
It was a very funny episode but it foreshadows the future once more, a recurring theme throughout the show. The girls seem keen to keep things the way they are but they're realizing that its not going to happen.
As an aside, Azusa should definitely be more critical about using the internet. There was her buying junk and now the classic shrimp hoax.
Also, Azusa's monolugue at the end put this pic into mind:

Those are some... uh... pretty strange dreams. Almost... fetish... like...
I actually like these "about nothing" episodes focusing on the three juniors because it really does exemplify a "passing of the torch" of sorts. They talk about it a lot how the 4 will be graduating soon, leaving Azusa and to a lesser extent Ui and Jun behind. Of course as of now only Azusa is going to get the proverbial torch but we can at least see some optimism in her despite of course the worry that without members the group will disband next year. In spite of that, while she would clearly miss the time and the music spent together, she's trying to enjoy the moment as it is rather than being worried all the time, which is a big contrast to how Azusa was when the season began.
The pacing seems to suggest that it may be very possible that they might graduate even before the season ends, which is a pretty interesting approach.

Around 16:53 when Ui made that face as Azusa was complaining about Yui my first thought was that Ui's gonna go yandere on her.

This really felt like Azusa's own Endless Eight. Was a really good ep however, those dream sequences were awesome.
I like how they manage to maintain an overall cheerful mood while still addressing the issue of Azusa being alone when the rest of the band graduates, and how Azusa is remaining optimistic, or trying to, in spite of all that. It's certainly reflective of real life -- more often than not, people get too caught up in what's going to happen in the future that they completely forget to cherish the present.
Azusa mentions a 'school festival performance' coming up, here's hoping for some new songs.

Am I still watching K-ON? Or did I just watch a completely bizarre yet rather a laidback and fully-entertaining episode? If I had to compare it, it'd be an Endless Eight + Aria the Natural where Akari had experienced a mirage in a scorched midsummer. All Azusa's dreams were nothing but an acid trip and strangely, half of the events actually came true. Those three daydreams from the Higurashi-esque animation up to Ritsu in a pool slide where literally the highlights of it. Liked the short festival as well because of its overall ambiance and atmosphere. At first, I thought she was having another hallucination though. Also, Jun's figure in a swimsuit was a perfection; although, I still kinda don't like her personality at all. Ui was her self as usual, so I don't have anything to say.
That said, this ep certainly was a big suprise, and personally the best episode as of yet. Pretty straightforward that their summer season reflects the reality especially in my place - hot, undead boring, and sleep-inducing.. but without fun activities. Also, it'd be nice if we could have another OP and ED song, but the chance seems low since KyoAni hasn't even made a second OP to a certain show if I remember correctly

What Ezilled says about the surreality of the episode: Thumbs up. A great collection of various 4-koma morphed to new purpose in the anime and anime-unique stuff.
Morose Azunyan brings a tear to the eye, but Jun gives us the satisfaction that there may be post-graduation-of-original-4 shenanigans to come for Azunyan.
I believe this rates a "10" for me...

Thanks Vexx. It's refreshing to see something original and different from the previous ones. KyoAni staffs did a great job that leaving off the viewers wondering about the Azusa's dream sequences and its interesting interpretations.
As for me, those dreams were perhaps a metaphor of her bonding to Ritsu, Mio, and Mugi. All of those were nothing but things unrelated to music, but she's rather enjoying the ups and downs together with them. However in the festival scene where Yui held a hand of Azusa to see the fireworks display, they were parted by the crowds of people while pondering if she's still dreaming or not. Thus, making it as a symbolism to the reality or the near future where the original four will soon leave the school, move on to a different surrounding, and lose the time to keep in touch with each other especially to Yui. It's kinda saddening to think that Azusa will miss the days she spent with the club and could only fill the void with Ui and Jun.

I suppose we'll see just how evil Kakifly is ... over at Lucky*Star (manga) we've seen *that* mangaka (Kagami) advance the seniors out the door, but the graduated girls haven't quite disappeared yet as far as daily life goes since the younger girls come home to their elder relatives.
I'm hoping that Kakifly two-tracks his story with the original-4 as they attend the local women's university and we get the Jun/Ui/Azusa/? antics in high school with Azusa and Ui's connections providing the continuity glue to their elders. But hey, I'm not the author.

I should say that Azusa continues to reminds me of my wife (especially when she was a teen) …. she's the same height, weight, and some of that serious personality/cynicism, the gravelly little voice, and especially that she deep tans in 10 minutes, while I simply burst into flames on contact with the sun.
Just rewatched it for a break - great episode … like a bit of Twilight Zone "am I awake or not, dammit?", some very nice animation and art (though there were some cost-cutting moments as well).

Lovely episode, with the dream sequences leading to the moment when Yui took Azusa's hand and led her off to see the fireworks only for them to be separated as they will be come the next school year. Very symbolic.

It was funnier when I could understand what was being said. Though it still did not get out of that Endless Eight/Higurashi vibe because that is pretty much what this was...a light hearted version of Azusa going mental and having time repeat itself (sort of) via dreaming.
Mugi: "We've entered an endless recursion of time."
Azusa: "Are we going to practise during it?"
Ritsu: "Hell no, we are here to study then have fun!"
Yui: "And eat!"
Azusa: "Awww..."
Mio: "sob"
