Anna Dailey - Teaching, General Teaching Projects in Ethiopia
Though its surprisingly tasty cuisine, delicious coffee, and intriguing history add to the beauty of Ethiopia, in the month that I have been here, I have become convinced that Addis' greatest asset is its people. Though sometimes being the object of everyone's stares, every moment of the day can make even the quickest trip to the store a tiresome affair, I have found that everyone, without exception, is delighted to return a smile, shake my hand, or practice some virtually nonsensical English when they see me on the street.
On a more daily basis, my experience with the people at my placement - a private primary school - has been nothing less than fantastic. Aside from having endless questions about my life, my home and my thoughts about Ethiopia, the staff at the school has welcomed me as a volunteer with open arms. I have been made to feel that my work with the kids is significant, not only to the students, but to their teachers and principal as well.
The most important relationship that I have formed, by virtue of the sheer magnitude of her commitment, is with my host mother, Saba. She has done an incredible thing in taking me into her house for the past month, and gone to great lengths to make me feel at home. Though I'm leaving Ethiopia with an incredible collective experience, the most significant thing that I have gained is a second mother. Saba has even taken to warning me about the dangers of boys and alcohol before I leave the house; my real mother would be overjoyed - and, not to mention, very appreciative!
Despite the friendly nature and welcoming attitude of everyone I've encountered, nothing can compare to the reception I repeatedly receive from the true reason I'm here - the kids. From the very youngest nursery classes all the way up to Grade 6, the children have made any discomfort or hardships of this experience undoubtedly worth it. Although the really young kids were initially very quiet in my presence, it only took a few encounters with them to receive a truly touching welcome. The second I step out of the car at the school compound or into a classroom, I am unfailingly greeted by shouts of "Miss Anna!" and numerous requests to shake hands or have my cheek kissed.
Their overwhelmingly sweet reception aside, the kids are remarkable students. Their curriculum is astonishingly advanced, and their behaviour is thoroughly disciplined. Because of this, the students threw themselves whole-heartedly into any kind of spoken English lesson I offered - which varied from some strange and awkward pronunciation exercises to silly games like Simon Says and Charades. Though one month is not a generous amount of time to make a significant impact in their English speaking, if I made any difference in their language capabilities at all, it is because the students persistently engaged themselves in my 45 minute lessons with unparalleled academic enthusiasm.
The students, along with the people of Addis, have made me feel incomparably welcome and important, and it is because of them that this experience is one that I would (and hope to) do over again in a second.

Seniors Want to Go Out With a 'Ring'by Jocelyn Hopkinson '15 • November 8, 2012 Share:
Only nine classes have secured the Monon Bell in each of their four years on campus. Seniors will have the opportunity Saturday to become the tenth when the Wabash College Little Giants battle DePauw in the 119th Monon Bell Classic.
"As a team, we had higher goals for the year," senior cornerback Austin Hodges said. "But at the point we're at now, we can hang our hat on winning the bell all four years. It would mean a lot to every one of us."
A playoff spot is out of the equation for the Little Giants. But when the rivals kickoff at 1:07 p.m. Saturday at Hollett Little Giant Stadium with a national television audience, the battle for the 300-pound Monon Bell will be enough motivation for the Class of 2013.
Last week gave guys a chance to think about what a fourth Bell Game victory would mean.
"When we leave here, we'll have a ring from last year, memories, and our Bell Game record," senior left tackle Weston Kitley said. "If we finish 4-0 in the game, it will be our last accomplishment together."
Seniors have realized it's most likely their last week for football. Hodges, Kitley, and special-teams player Kyle Bottos took time to reminisce over their previous four years. They shared memories across a kitchen table on a late night early in the week. Some of their memories go beyond the sidelines.
"This is a memory tonight," Hodges said. "I don't think I played football for football. I played for this. Weston, Bottos, and I have been hanging out for three hours now. I'll remember nights like this more than I'll remember scores."
Kitley remembered more than just games too.
"I'll remember random practices and the different personalities on the team," he said. "Something like standing around during a cold practice waiting for my turn to go back in and having different conversations with guys is what I'll keep with me."
The game still holds ample memories for the seniors. Hodges witnessed the game's importance when he and other teammates visited the College Football Hall of Fame where the Monon Bell Classic has its own display.
"A lot of people get to play games, but how many people play a game that is this important?" he questioned.
Pressure is another aspect that comes with the Bell Game. Each play is magnified and players will sense the heightened pressure.
"It's the one game a year where you're not playing only for your team, but also the entire school," Hodges said. "Either consciously or subconsciously, you carry that weight on yourself."
The personal confrontation for the players is to turn that pressure into motivation. Kitley once had a coach tell him to "turn butterflies into bald eagles." Pride will be Bottos's motivation.
"It's a privilege to be out there," he said. "That makes you play even harder. You just want to cherish every snap of the game."
Hollet Little Giant Stadium will also contribute to the pressure.
"I want to say I'm focused 100 percent of the time, but I catch myself admiring the pride that exists in the stands," Hodges admitted. "You'd have to be blind not to notice the extra seats and fans."
It will only take Hodges until the "first smack of helmets" to remind him it's still a football game. Kitley, meanwhile, said he never calms.
"I don't think I ever really settle down. There are some games that can lull you but in the Bell Game, I get down into my stance and I can't hear a damn thing. It's impossible to tune out the atmosphere at the game."
Calm or not, Kitley, along with his senior class and the rest of the football team, will lay it on the line one last time Saturday. A win will cement the Class of 2013's place in Wabash lore.
"If I had any other way to go out besides the playoffs," Hodges said, "it would be to dominate DePauw with the guys I came in here with."

I usually tend to precook any meat in general mainly to reduce amount of fat... I just started experimenting with Deep Dish, I used precooked and raw mild Italian sausage ... Raw tasted much better... It had totally different taste.
I can get a decent cut at home on my 'lil Deni el-cheapo. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001AQD8X4/?tag=pmak-20
Does that slicer work with pepperoni?Regards
I do a lot of Sirloin roasts for my Chicago Italian beef sandwiches and that requires an almost paper thin slice....
Flavor profile of that whole pie changes when you leave the sausage "juice" in there.
And why haven't we seen a recipe??? Al's may be the only thing I miss about Chicago.
Al's is the best sandwich I've ever eaten in my life. Period. #2 isn't even close.
Are you a Giardiniera fan....or jus straight sport peppers guy...red sauce an fine diced onion?...wet or dipped? These are so great man!
Heck yes dipped with Giardiniera. Dang that looks good. Where is the recipe???
Ate there yesterday. Blizzard today.
How was your sandwich Jeff...did it look like the pic above? Downtown?
Me too. I HATE sliced sausage on pizza. HATE HATE HATE it!
I am with you, TXCraig. I HATE HATE HATE HATE sliced sausage on pizza.That was one of the things I usually hated about New York pizzas when I lived in NYC - many of the places sliced their sausage, and many of them had crappy sausage.
Boil in casing 'til cooked through. Slice thinly. Sautee briefly. Apply. Mmmmm.
I grew up in NJ a few miles from NYC. Never in my youth did I see sliced sausage on a pie. It was always applied raw from bulk. I left the area in the late 70's and go back regularly and have been shocked by how much the pizza has changed over the years. I will always use raw sausage. Get some pork shoulder and grind it or buy it ground and add your seasoning. That will top most any store bought sausage other than an artisan meat shops product. Walter
Walter,That's funny because I always remember it being sliced in my part of NJ about 30 minutes from NY. This would have been late 70's to early 80's. I guess because of this it is how I prefer it prepared.

David Brooks argues that President Obama selected Chuck Hagel to be Secretary of Defense because he wants Hagel to supervise the beginning of a generation-long process of defense cutbacks. The theory is that such cutbacks will go down better with a Republican, and a war hero, at the Pentagon to provide political cover.
Brooks may be right, but I doubt it. During Hagel's "trial balloon" period, it became clear that Hagel will struggle mightily for Republican support.
How much political cover will Hagel bring if he is confirmed with virtually no Republican votes? And why would Obama believe his defense cuts will go down better with a Secretary of Defense who, because of his unpopularity, probably will be the constant target of sniping once installed?

With Election Day less than a month away, we are neck-deep in polling data on the presidential race and speculations about what voter turnout will be. This is not a bad moment, then, to recognize three things: polling remains as much of an art as it is a science, voter turnout rates are not as easy to measure as one might suppose, and the "youth vote" is both bifurcated by education status and dwarfed by the "senior vote."
In the 2008 presidential primaries, top pollsters picked the wrong Democratic and Republican winners in New Hampshire and several other states. As survey experts later discovered, the pollsters did not reach out to find enough hard-to-locate voters. In some cases they interviewed too few union members and too many people without much schooling. And often they interviewed anyone who answered the telephone instead of a particular person named in the sample.
No poll, whatever it asks and however carefully it is worded, can provide us with a reliable measure of how people think or feel unless it is based on a random sample of the relevant population. Any given voter or adult must have an equal chance of being interviewed.
And even perfect polling involves sampling error, the difference between the results of polls conducted at the same time. For instance, if one poll shows that 60 percent of all Americans intend to vote for a given candidate, and another poll taken at the same time finds that 55 percent do, the sampling error is 5 percent.
Say, for example, that a well-conducted poll finds that 52 percent prefer Obama and 48 percent prefer Romney, with an error of plus or minus three points. To calculate the range of results the poll is predicting, you need to add and subtract the error number on both sides of the finding. In this example, the poll predicts an outcome somewhere in the vast territory between 55 to 45 in favor of Obama (a landslide for the incumbent) and 49 to 51 in favor of Romney (a close win for the challenger).
Voter turnout rates are calculated by dividing the total number of voters by the voting-age population or VAP (all persons age 18 or older). Measured by the VAP, in 2008 turnout was 56.8 percent. But as the political scientist Michael P. McDonald has stressed in several major studies, the VAP includes millions of voting-age noncitizens, ex-felons and persons overseas who are not eligible to vote. Subtract these groups from the denominator and turnout in 2008 among the voting-eligible population or VEP was 61.7 percent. Finally, among the voting-registered population or VRP, turnout in 2008 was 70 percent.
No matter how it is measured, among all age groups voter turnout is lower in midterm election years than in presidential election years. For instance, according to the Center for Information and Research on Civil Learning and Engagement, the (VAP-measured) 2008 turnout rate among citizens age 18 to 29 was 51.1 percent, but the 2010 "youth vote" was just 24 percent, on a par with the anemic 22 percent to 25 percent youth voter turnout rates recorded in each midterm election year since 1998.
But as Circle also reports, among college-educated citizens age 18 to 29, turnout was 62.1 percent in 2008 and 32.9 percent in 2010. Among citizens in that cohort who did not attend college, turnout was just 36 percent in 2008 and 16 percent in 2010.
Voter turnout is highest among senior citizens. U.S. Census Bureau data indicate that in 2010, the 20.6 million citizens age 65 to 74 (about 10 percent of the total U.S. population) cast 12.7 million votes, or 14 percent of all votes cast, while the 26.7 million citizens age 18 to 24 (about 13 percent of the total U.S. population) cast only 5.6 million votes. While we cannot predict election outcomes with precision, we can be sure that whoever wins, official Washington will continue to care more about Medicare than about job training for young unskilled workers or about college loans.
Finally, surveys show that more than 80 percent of Americans consider voting a civic duty. For Catholics, that civic duty is bolstered by the catechism's injunction that as "far as possible citizens should take an active part in public life." But the sad fact is that on Election Day at least 80 million Americans (half registered, half not), including millions of Catholics, will not vote at all.

Over the past 15 years, the world has been looking to Germany as one model for the utility sector's transformation toward a lower-carbon future. Germany is seeing a surge in renewable energy, specifically offshore wind and solar power, a phase-out of its nuclear energy and a government-driven, full-scale energy transition. Now we may be witnessing the next breakthrough happening right inside German households—energy storage.
The German business case for residential energy storage is strong and links to the country's long legacy of renewable generation. While some national solar subsidies are scaling down, millions of consumers and small businesses had already tapped into installing solar panel systems, receiving guaranteed feed-in tariffs for years to come. Such schemes have encouraged independence of local consumers from their energy providers, a move buoyed by subsidy-inflated electricity prices that are among the highest in Europe, and on the rise.
Germany's highly developed market for distributed generation provides a natural basis for home energy storage. Recently renewed federal subsidies for household battery-based storage have enabled retrofitting of older solar systems to be retrofit to include a newer storage solution, which has been attracting foreign technology companies such as Tesla, Panasonic and Samsung to enter the home energy storage market. Competition in this market is likely to be fierce, as several local champions including Varta, Sonnenbatterie and Bosch have also built strong brands in the energy storage market.
Outside of the home, Germany's strong industrial and automotive sector makes the business case for energy storage particularly attractive. Germany is home to some of the largest automakers in the world; most are determined to stake a claim in the nationwide deployment of electric vehicles. Driven by direct synergies between electric vehicle batteries and residential storage technology, companies including Daimler and BMW have announced their own energy storage offerings for households. Global and local progress in battery technology—driven in part by R&D in the German automotive, industrial equipment and chemical sectors—is expected to drive down costs, further reducing upfront investment from consumers.
German utility companies are recognizing the significant business model potential of more integrated, full-cycle home energy management, and are starting to team up with technology companies, start-ups and automakers to expand their portfolio of home energy storage offerings. Even if the national advanced meter infrastructure still is relatively underdeveloped, utility companies are increasing efforts toward greater ownership of the wider ecosystem of the future energy consumer and related grid services.
According to Accenture's latest Digitally Enabled Grid research findings, nearly three-quarters of European utility executives surveyed expect their companies' roles to evolve toward one that integrates distributed energy resources and facilitates the market for DER services as a "distribution platform optimizer." So, while many of the pieces of the home energy storage puzzle seem to be falling into place in Germany, it will be up to the consumers, and utilities' ability to effectively serve their needs and expectations, that may present the next challenge to be addressed.
Lasse Kari is the European utilities sector research manager at Accenture.

A Central College defense that had to endure 100 plays on a warm fall afternoon made the one that counted the most Saturday.
Cornerback Spencer Boeyink (sophomore, Pella) raced 94 yards on a fourth-quarter interception with the decisive touchdown as the Dutch knocked off defending Iowa Conference champion University of Dubuque 31-24 before a sun-drenched homecoming crowd.
That tied the longest interception return in school history, a mark set by Jody Bandy against Upper Iowa in 1984.
Boeyink's score allowed the Dutch (2-2 overall, 1-0 conference) to withstand a 537-yard assault by Dubuque (1-3 overall, 0-1 conference). The Spartans controlled the ball for more than 37 of the game's 60 minutes as quarterback Wyatt Hanus completed 37 of 61 passes for 412 yards and two touchdowns. But Hanus, who had not thrown an interception in three previous games while passing for 1,009 yards, was picked off four times by the Dutch.
"The biggest statistic was us getting those four interceptions," coach Jeff McMartin said. "Dubuque's got a good offense with a good quarterback and a good scheme. They're going to get a lot of yards.
"But I can't say enough about what our defense did today."
Meanwhile the Dutch offense was dominant on the ground. Central completed just three of 10 passes for 28 yards with one interception. But the Dutch racked up 325 rushing yards on 44 carries, an average of 7.4 yards an attempt. Running back Josh Osborn (sophomore, Burlington) had 135 yards on 17 carries, including a 61-yard TD that let Central tie the score at 24-24 with 6:38 left in the third quarter. De'Andre Currie (junior, Phoenix, Ariz., Mountain Pointe HS) added 99 yards on just six attempts, including a 49-yard dash on Central's first play from scrimmage, setting up a tying score.
McMartin gave Brendan Boerm (freshman, Traer, North Tama) his first collegiate start at quarterback. He'd been used primarily as a receiver in the early going.
"We felt like this was going to be a game where we were going to run and they were going to throw," McMartin said. "We've got a quarterback who can run and we wanted to utilize that."
Boerm rushed for 65 yards on 12 carries, including a 23-yard TD score in the third quarter.
Central also unleashed defensive lineman Danny Samson (junior, Baxter, CMB HS) in its goal-line offense as the quarterback. He muscled his way into the end zone from 2 yards out for Central's first score and finished with 10 yards on three carries. Samson also had five tackles, including a sack.
"Danny had a sack and a touchdown and he was on the extra-point team," McMartin said. "We're getting everything we can out of him. He's a special athlete. He's fast and he's big so we thought we should use him. He was a quarterback in high school who played in the shotgun, so taking snaps isn't an unnatural thing for him to do. He's a big body and it can't be fun trying to tackle him."
Central's longest touchdown drive was five plays, and after a roughing the kicker penalty let Dubuque retain possession on an early 18-play drive, McMartin was relieved his weary defense had the Dutch within 17-10 at intermission.
"We put the defense in some bad spots so to be where we were only down seven at halftime, I actually felt like we were in pretty good place," McMartin said.
And after yielding a TD on Dubuque's first possession of the second half, the Dutch posted a shutout the rest of the way.
Linebacker Andrew Weaks (senior, Fulton, Ill.) had 12 tackles with a sack and three tackles for loss. Strong safety Jacob tune (sophomore, Mesa, Ariz., Red Mountain HS) had 12 stops with a tackle for loss, three pass breakups and an interception, while free safety Jake Edleman (junior, Mechanicsville, North Cedar HS) had 12 tackles, including a tackle for loss and a breakup. Linebacker Seth Carson (senior, Woodridge, Ill., Downers Grove South HS) had 10 stops with an interception while outside linebacker Mitch Schroeder (sophomore, Lowden, North Cedar HS) had nine tackles with one tackle for loss. Cornerback Eric Larson (sophomore, Waverly, Waverly-Shell Rock HS) also had an interception.
Central must take on high-flying Simpson College at Pella next Saturday. The Storm (3-1 overall, 1-0 conference) toppled Wartburg for the second year in a row Saturday, 20-19. Game time is 1 p.m. at Ron and Joyce Schipper Stadium.
"We've got a tough road," McMartin said. "But this was a good win for our players. We've got to get some guys healthy but this shows our players what they're capable of when they play hard for four quarters. That's what they did. They battled."

An Encounter with The Kills
Photos by G.
The band The Kills made quite a splash in New York on August 18, 2012. Before performing a free end of summer concert on the pier, The Kills signed copies of their new coffee table book "Dream and Drive" at Book Marc in the West Village, which features photographs of the band and was shot by Kenneth Cappello.

Nationally-ranked St. John Fisher College orchestrated three
consecutive touchdown drives in the fourth quarter to erase a 17-14
deficit against SUNY Cortland, Saturday at Growney Stadium en route
to a 33-25 win in a non-conference Division III matchup.
With the win, the Cardinals, ranked 18th in the latest D3football.com poll, improve to 3-0, while the Red Dragons slip to 1-2 on the season.
Facing a three-point hole going into the fourth quarter, Fisher marched 85 yards on nine plays to take the lead for good. Tyler Fenti took the snap and handed the ball off to Ryan Kramer on an end-around with Kramer lofting the ball downfield and found Nathan Nigolian for the 36-yard reception, setting the Cardinals up for the score. Two players later, Nigolian out-leaped a Cortland defender in the corner of the endzone to put Fisher up 20-17.
In Cortland's next possession, the Red Dragons looked to regain the momentum, but committed their first turnover of the day with Fisher's Dalton Donk recovering a fumble off a botched pitch and running it back to the Cortland 17 yard line. It only took Fisher's offense 1:34 to convert on another touchdown, this time Kramer used his feet to find pay dirt, giving Fisher the two-possession lead at 27-17.
Just two offensive plays later, Cortland would lose the ball again. Quarterback Tyler Hughes looked for daylight, but was chased down from behind by Mason Judd who lodged the ball loose, which was quickly recovered by Fisher's Ryan Ballard.
The Cardinals wasted no time capitalizing on the turnover. Fenti launched the ball 28 yards downfield into the waiting hands of Nigolian for another Fisher first down. Cody Miller made his way into the endzone for the fourth time this season, as Fisher scored three touchdowns on three consecutive possessions to take a 33-17 advantage.
With time winding down in the fourth, Cortland went to the hurry up offense, converting four passes in less than a minute, all while marching down to Fisher's 11 yard line. Tyler Augliano surveyed the defense and awaited the snap in the shotgun, but as it had done in the previous two possessions, Fisher's defense created another turnover Augliano reared back and threw into the endzone, but the ball was intercepted by Ballard who dodged several Cortland players to make his way to 29 yard line.
The Cardinals took over from their own 29 with 8:11 remaining in the contest. Fisher had everything going as Fenti juked his way for another first down, this time on a 22-yard scramble, but the Cortland defense held, as Fisher turned the ball over on downs.
With just over four minutes to go, Cortland marched its way down to the Fisher 15 yard line. A personal foul penalty against the Cardinals kept the drive alive for Cortland as Augliano found Dylan Peebles to bring Cortland to within 10 at 33-23. The Red Dragons elected to go for the two-point conversion to cut it to a one possession game. Augliano kept his team's chances alive, finding John Babin in the middle of the field, making it 33-25 in favor of Fisher, but that was as close as it would get as the Cardinals converted a key third down opportunity, allowing the home team to run the clock out and seal the win.
In the first half, Junior Rob Riggio scored on a 41-yard touchdown pass from Fenti to give the Cardinals a 7-0 lead on their opening drive. The reception was the first of Riggio's career. Cortland forced Fisher to go three-and-out, but a personal foul (roughing the kicker) kept the drive alive and Fisher capitalized seven plays later.
Cortland made it 7-3 with a 36-yard field goal with 11:43 left in the half. Fisher had two excellent chances to extend its lead before halftime, but turnovers cost the Cardinals on both occasions. Cody Miller fumbled at the Cortland 11 with 7:45 left in the half. On the ensuing possession, Fenti was intercepted in the endzone, marking his first interception of the year.
Cortland, who trailed 7-3 at the break, took the lead early in the second half. The Red Dragons drove 50 yards on three plays, capitalizing on three Fisher penalties, and scored on a two-yard run from Hughes to make it 10-7 with just under nine minutes left in the third quarter.
Fisher responded with an 80-yard drive with Fenti scoring on a six-yard run to put Fisher back up on top at 14-10 with 4;29 left in the third.
In the closing moments of the third quarter, Fisher committed its fourth turnover of the day, as Kramer muffed a punt at his own 20-yard line. On the very next play, Tyler Augliano completed a pass to John Babin for 22 yards to give Cortland a 17-14 edge going into the fourth quarter.
Fenti had a strong game completing 28 of 40 passes for 294 yards and two touchdowns to go along with 88 yards on the ground and a touchdown. The Honeoye Falls native has amassed 980 yards and seven touchdowns in three games.
Miller had 40 yards rushing and a touchdown, while Nigolian had his second straight game with over 100 yards receiving as he collected six balls for 100 yards and a score. Kramer hauled in 11 balls for 55 yards and Kevin Francis had eight catches for 67 yards.
Ryan Seymour had a team-high eight tackles in the win. Judd tallied five tackles including one sack to go along with a forced fumble. Ballard chipped in with six tackles, a half a sack and a key interception.
Fisher will return to action at 2 p.m. next Saturday and will host Frostburg State University in the Empire 8 Conference season opener for both teams.

If we're talking about "made purely for fanservice" then the Phantasia leaves the A's movie in the dust. For the A's movie, someone who hasn't watched the series will be able to follow the movie with no trouble whatsoever. If you haven't played Phantasia though? Good luck making sense of that OVA.

Chrono and Lindy's connection to the Book of Darkness was touched upon to a significant degree in the movie. It was not ignored. There were some scenes in the movie indicating how much this meant to both of them. We even had a flashback scene focusing on Chrono's dad, how he died, and how Lindy and Chrono reacted to his death. We know that Chrono and Lindy visited the grave of Chrono's dad following the conflict of this anime. It is clear that a measure of closure was gained for both characters here.
This isn't bad for supporting cast characters. And Chrono and Lindy are no more tied into the main plot than Nanoha and Fate are.
You are not being fair in this discussion, Kaijo. Your side of the argument would likely make the movie less enjoyable for Fate fans and NanoFate fans, and all for the sake of greater unneeded emphasis on supporting cast characters.
I also don't see any fairness in basically saying that people who want to see some heartwarming NanoFate and Fate scenes are "fanatics", yet making it seem that those who are disproportionately focused on supporting cast characters are apparently perfectly normal.
In short, I strongly disagree with you and your priorities in this thread. And I do not think you have truly given the other side of the argument real consideration.

"Oh, hey, here's that thing that killed my husband. Interesting."
"So this is what killed my dad? Why should I care again?"
Are you honestly telling me that you don't care that two people, who lost a loved one to the antagonist of the series, have ZERO emotional moments confronting said antagonist (and confronting their feelings at the same time)? That a "good" movie totally ignores the feelings about someone confronting the murderer that killed a loved one?
Also consider this: After this story, Chrono and Lindy fade into the background, but Fate stays in the foreground. She has MANY more chances to take the stage and get development. The Harleowns are done after this. Do you really object to letting them have some actual development before they get shuffled off? Are you really okay with a supporting cast member getting more emphasis than the main, after all?
Person A: "Hey, out of my way! I'm more important here, so I get to go on this ride FIRST!"
Person B: "But you get to go on this ride all day! Do you really have to keep cutting in front of people and preventing them from riding at all?"
Person A: "Hey! STOP BEING UNFAIR TO ME! I said I was more important, didn't I?"
If you want me to understand, then understand it from this viewpoint, about how you sound to this thread. Few people would be sympathetic to the above. When even the titular main character gets shafted, you have to acknowledge there is a problem.
"Nanoha is my favorite character, but I recognize that she didn't need much development here. Maybe just her reaction and decision to tell her friends and family about her magic. It could have made a nice contribution to her character if she grappled with the decision, like Fate grappled with her mommy issues. But I at least recognize it wasn't needed in the context of this movie."
When a Fate, or NanoFate person, can make the same sacrifice for the good of the plot, we'll be on even ground again. I'm willing to give up Nanoha development, despite her being my favorite character, if it means we can better characterize the plot and secondary characters. I am willing to give up what is not needed, in order to make sure we fit in what is important to the plot.
Even if you ignore everything else, can you say the same?
Last note: I do understand your argument. You feel that Fate is a main character, and that NanoFate is important. I understand that, and to a degree, I'd even agree with that. However, you also feel that those two things are more important than anything else in the A's movie. You'd sacrifice anything else, if it means you get more Fate and NanoFate. I'm sorry, but I can't agree to that. Let me know if you don't understand why.

I have considered your argument. I have considered the amount of NanoFate and Fate focus in this movie. I have considered the amount of Lindy and Chrono focus in the movie.
I think the amount of NanoFate and Fate focus in this movie is perfectly normal for major characters and the main pairing of an anime movie. If anything, in fact, it's minimal. As even Kaijo admits, it's a measly 5 to 10 minutes of NanoFate focus. Any less than that, and I'd feel substantially short-changed as a NanoFate fan.
And why shouldn't I? These are the main protagonists and the main pairing in a 2 and a half hour movie. A measly 10 minutes of focus on their relationship is too much to ask for? Seriously, Nanya?

Do you want my honest answer towards how it affects the plot?
Because, if you want it, you won't like it.
Let's be honest here, Triple_R, 5-10 minutes of screen time is still more screen time than Chrono or Lindy got to deal with the Book of Darkness issues they had.
5-10 minutes of screen time was more than almost any (Reinforce v Nanoha) action sequence in the movie.
You would feel short-changed as a NanoFate fan?
Well, guess what?
As a fan of the franchise and characters NOT named Fate, I feel short-changed!

Fate gets more development than Nanoha because Fate has more room to develop. What Fate does not get, however, are the key battles of every season. And she's certainly not the one to bring them down. This is how the titular character has always worked in Nanoha. Also, Nanoha is not shafted, she never has been. Her screentime is always on par, if not more than Fate's. How can someone be shafted when they have more screen time than the accused shafter?

Whether we like it or not as fans who have a ship that we like, the fact is, Nanoha (series) has NEVER been focused on romantic relationships.
The most relationships we get are family ones (Erio and Caro to Fate, Fate to Lindy and Fate to Precia, Vivio to Nanoha) with side characters getting married.
So, if you think that love-love time for NanoFate is important, remember this, it was NEVER a focus of the series.
Demi., while I'm not Kaijo, I have flat out said that I hated the lack of Fate's BDH moment at the start, haven't I?
Besides, what you said, about Fate not having any other shining moments...
Isn't another complaint that I had was that Yuuno was basically not in the movie (15 seconds outside of exposition), so any of his shining examples that were in the series were removed?
Not fun when the shoe's on the other foot, huh?

This is A's, not first season.
And, again, the only real NanoFate scene I would have removed, myself, would have really been the walk home after school scene as it really didn't serve any real point to the movie.
Anyway, all of you who think I'm hating on this movie...
Find a movie from your childhood that you really liked...
Go see of the Nostalgia Critic did a review on it.
You want to see hating on movies? You should see him at times.
And, yes, he hates on movies that are popular and movies that flat-out suck as well.

Instead of re-hashing old arguments, I've decided I'm going to try to work outside the box. Let's look at some scenes that haven't been discussed much at all when it comes to the movie, and see if any of them are expendable.
Here's an idea:
In the movie, at approximately 2:24:28, we see a brief scene of Chrono and Lindy (joined by Fate, Alph, and... that girl with a crush on Chrono) gathered around the grave of Chrono's father. At least, I'm pretty sure that's his grave. This scene ends at 2:24:41. So yes, it is a very brief scene.
Instead of ending here, cut out what comes after - Hayate meeting up with her Doctor, and Nanoha revealing her magical truth to Suzuka and Arisa. That all ends at 2:25:40. That gives us an extra minute.
Hayate meeting up with her Doctor is a nice bit, but I'm confident we'd agree it's pretty expendable. Nanoha revealing the truth to Suzuka and Arisa is, in my view, pretty important. I think it deserves more than what it received here. However, I think the best solution might be to have this be a significant part of the next film since we now know it's coming.
From 2:23:34 to 2:24:01 there are scenes focusing on Shamal... and a bunch of soldiers that I don't even know. Not a bad scene, but surely expendable. So there's an extra 20 to 30 seconds.
Add this extra minute and a half to the Chrono/Lindy grave-site scene. Give them some dialogue. Let there be some smiles and tears.
If we need a bit more, shave a minute or two off of the lengthier action scenes. Or shave a minute off of the Lotus Eater Dream. I like it being there, but it could be shorter.
If we need even more than that... Cut the Nanoha/Fate training scene. While it was amusing, it's the one scene focusing on just Nanoha and Fate that I personally would probably miss the least if it was removed. I honestly really loved the scenes of Fate in school.
What do you think, Kaijo? Does this give you enough to have the added Lindy/Chrono focus that you want?
My point is that you don't necessarily need to trim any Fate or NanoFate (well, aside from maybe the training scene, and a touch less Lotus Eater Dream) in order to get what you want for Lindy/Chrono.

And I really think that's the key difference here. I think a main character deserves one or more shining moments. I would never go into a series or movie and complain about how a minor character never got the glory, even if that minor character was my favorite character. Yuuno got shaft raped in this film, but it's not Fate's screen times fault. She had whats deserving of a main character. And no more.

'Jenni', the alligator found in the Big Creek near Jennings and Harvard Road, has found a new home at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.
The 25-inch-long alligator will be in routine quarantine for 30 days at the Zoo's Center for Zoological Medicine to assess its condition. When it clears the quarantine period, it will be transferred to the Zoo's Conservation Education Division, where it will be part of the Zoo's Conservation Education programs including outreach.
On Thursday, November 8, a surveyor saw the reptile in Big Creek near a sewer outfall and alerted Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District crews who were conducting maintenance on the agency's Jennings Road Pump Station; the outfall is located behind the pump station.
Sewer District crews were able to catch the alligator, and place it in a secure container with warm water. The Ohio Department of Agriculture, who oversees regulatory compliance of exotic pets, like alligators, was notified.
To ensure its safety, the Sewer District crews transported the alligator to the Sewer District's EMSC facility in Cuyahoga Heights. Sewer District laboratory staff has been caring for the animal from Thursday until late this morning.
Given that deadline for registering exotic animals with the Ohio Department of Agriculture was on Monday, November 5, there is speculation that the animal may have been released to avoid the costs of the new regulations.
However, it has not been confirmed. As a precaution, though, Sewer District officials would like strongly urge owners of exotic pets not to release any type of reptile into local waterbodies or in sewers.

Farmer Brooks Davis knows about sleepless nights. "This job will make you turn gray-headed," he said of farming.
"For us, we feel plenty of stress-making marketing decisions. You could work all year for free if you don't make the right decisions."
Davis of Arkansas County, Ark., said fuel, fertilizer and other inputs all went up this year. While crop prices have been favorable, he said if he makes a bad decision about marketing, "we could lose a lot of money. I think it's common for people with a business to wake up at 3 a.m. worrying," he said.
Stress is a normal part of life for farmers, said Russ Kennedy, health specialist with the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service. Many a farmer has suffered through a sleepless night worrying about pests, market prices, weather or repaying a six-figure crop loan.
"Farmers accept stress as part of daily life, and most do little to cope with it consciously," he said. Much of our stress comes from everyday responsibilities.
"In response to daily strains," he said, "your body automatically increases blood pressure, heart rate, respiration, metabolism and blood flow to your muscles."
This response is intended to help your body react quickly and effectively to a high-pressure situation, but constant stress can threaten your health and well-being.
Kennedy offers several ways to reduce unwanted stress or manage it:
• Be realistic. If you feel overwhelmed by some activities (yours and/or your family's), learn to say NO! Eliminate an activity that is not absolutely necessary. You may be taking on more responsibility than you can or should handle.
• Shed the "superman/superwoman" urge. No one is perfect, so don't expect perfection from yourself or others. Ask yourself, "How much can I do? Is the deadline realistic? What adjustments can I make?" Don't hesitate to ask for help.
• Meditate. Just 10 to 20 minutes of quiet reflection may bring relief from chronic stress as well as increase your tolerance to it.
• Visualize. Use your imagination and picture how you can manage a stressful situation more successfully. Whether it's a farm problem or visiting with your banker, many people feel visual rehearsals boost self-confidence and enable them to take a more positive approach to a difficult task.
• Take one thing at a time. For people under tension or stress, an ordinary workload can sometimes seem unbearable. The best way to cope with this feeling of being overwhelmed is to take one task at a time.
• Exercise. Regular exercise is a popular way to relieve stress. Twenty to 30 minutes of physical activity benefits both the body and the mind.
• Hobbies. Take a break from your worries by doing something you enjoy.
• Healthy life style. Good nutrition makes a difference. Limit intake of caffeine and alcohol, get adequate rest, exercise and balance work and play.
• Share your feelings. A conversation with a friend lets you know that you are not the only one having a bad day, coping with low prices or production problems. Stay in touch with friends and family. Don't try to cope alone.
• Give in occasionally. Be flexible! If you find you're meeting constant opposition in either your personal or professional life, rethink your position or strategy. Arguing only intensifies stressful feelings.
• Go easy with criticism. You may expect too much of yourself and others. Try not to feel frustrated, let down, disappointed or even "trapped" when another person doesn't measure up

Hey "Gone Girl" fans, if all goes as planned, meet the big-screen version of Amy Dunne: Rosamund Pike.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the British actress who most recently starred opposite Tom Cruise in "Jack Reacher," has the offer to play the duplicitous wife who goes missing on the couple's fifth wedding anniversary, putting the husband, to be played by Ben Affleck, at the center of the investigation.
(A spokesman for 20th Century Fox, the studio behind the film, said there is no deal yet in place.)
Pike, 34, is an interesting choice for the role. Though the actress played a Bond girl in 2002's "Die Another Day," and appeared in a number of British films including "An Education," "Made in Dagenham" and the Paul Giamatti-starrer "Barney's Version," she is not yet a household name in the States.
She will next appear in Edgar Wright's "The World's End."
For the David Fincher-directed film, her relative anonymity could be an asset. The book, written by Gillian Flynn, is told via the competing viewpoints of Nick and Amy Dunne, two unreliable narrators who shift the reader's perspective as they tell their sides of the tale. Accordingly, the role of Amy Dunne is quite complex, a mysterious wife who is not as she seems. As something of an unknown quantity, the actress will have an easier time manipulating the audience.
Other actresses the Hollywood Reporter says were up for the role, including Charlize Theron, Natalie Portman and Emily Blunt, are almost too well known to take on such a part.
Flynn is writing the adaptation of the book for Fincher, who is scheduled to begin production this September.
Reese Witherspoon's Pacific Standard production company will produce along with Leslie Dixon.

Surging Ducks drop in on Bluesby Brian Hunter
DUCKS (20-3-3) at BLUES (15-10-2)
Last 10: Anaheim 7-1-2; St. Louis 6-4-0
Season series: Third and final meeting of the regular season. The Ducks will go for the sweep, having won 6-5 in a shootout in St. Louis on Feb. 9, and 4-2 in Anaheim on March 10. Bobby Ryan leads all scorers in the two games with three goals and five points for the Ducks. Francois Beauchemin has five assists.
Big story: Anaheim has reached 20 wins in half the number of games it took the 2011-12 Ducks to get there -- they were 20-24-8 after 52 games last season en route to missing the Stanley Cup Playoffs. St. Louis remains in Chicago's rearview mirror in the Central Division standings, but has won two straight to take over the fourth seed in the Western Conference.
Team Scope:
Ducks: The goaltending tandem of Jonas Hiller and Viktor Fasth has had to weather its share of injury concerns in this shortened season -- Hiller missed time early, and now Fasth has been out for the past two games. It hasn't mattered, because whichever one finds himself between the pipes on a given night responds in turn to keep Anaheim's engine running smoothly. Hiller stopped 33 shots and a pair of shootout attempts Thursday night in Dallas, and goals by Ryan and Ryan Getzlaf in the penalty-shot tiebreaker lifted the Ducks to a 2-1 victory.
"We're working," Getzlaf told the Orange County Register. "When you work, you get breaks. Guys are working hard and battling. We got a little depleted lineup right now. Guys are doing a great job stepping into those roles."
Blues: With the save percentages of Jaroslav Halak and especially Brian Elliott not matching up to NHL standards, much less the elite numbers they put up a season ago, the door has opened in St. Louis for rookie Jake Allen to see extended playing time. He's performed, with seven wins in eight starts, and on Thursday night he achieved a milestone by stopping all 28 shots in a 3-0 victory over visiting Phoenix. Chris Stewart supported him with a pair of goals and Alex Steen had a goal and two assists in his return to the lineup.
"It's something I've dreamed of, especially as a kid getting a shutout in the NHL," Allen said. "I never would have realized it would have been this quick, but I definitely appreciate all the work the guys did. It's something I won't forget.
"It's sort of a whirlwind the last month or so, whatever it's been. I'm still taking it in stride. I'm really pleased with the way I've played. I couldn't have asked for a better start, but I try to stay even-keeled, stay ready for the next game on Saturday. Just take things one day at a time."
Who's hot: Hiller has won four consecutive starts for the Ducks, allowing just four goals over that span and posting a .965 save percentage. Andrew Cogliano has goals in two of the past three games. … Stewart has back-to-back two-goal games for the Blues. Over the past six games, he has six goals and 12 points. His 13 goals are just two fewer than he scored in 79 games last season.
Injury report: Anaheim is currently without forward Corey Perry due to a suspension. Fasth (upper body) is expected to dress, as Jeff Deslauriers was returned to the minors on Friday. Forward Brad Staubitz (facial laceration) is practicing while wearing a visor, but is still on injured reserve along with forward Nick Bonino (lower body). … St. Louis forward T.J. Oshie is day-to-day with an upper-body injury. Forwards Jamie Langenbrunner (hip), Vladimir Tarasenko (concussion) and Andy McDonald (knee) are on injured reserve.

DURHAM — The University of New Hampshire football team spent much of Saturday afternoon chasing Towson ballcarriers with little success.
Unable to control the Tigers at Cowell Stadium, the Wildcats no longer controlled their own destiny as far as making the FCS playoffs.
Although that game ended badly, it did not end their season. UNH is in the NCAA tournament for the ninth year in a row, the longest active streak in the nation.
"The lowest of lows," said senior co-captain and offensive guard Chris Zarkoskie, "to the highest of highs. We didn't know if we were getting in or not. It's definitely exciting to get another chance to play."
An uneasy UNH locker room exploded when the New Hampshire-Wofford matchup was the first to come up on the FCS selection show Sunday afternoon on ESPNU.
"We get to breathe easy for a little bit now," said senior cornerback Dontra Peters. "When we sat down our hearts were beating fast and our minds were racing. To see New Hampshire on the board was a good feeling."
Waiting was the hardest part.
"I haven't heard an eruption like that locker room in a long time," said coach Sean McDonnell. "I think it was like a weight just lifted off their shoulders, knowing they've got another opportunity to play."
The No. 11 Wildcats (8-3) live to play another day, despite a decisive 64-35 loss to Towson that snapped a six-game win streak.
"I was very nervous," Zarkoskie said. "I didn't sleep well (Saturday) night. Something we don't do often is put it in other people's hands. It's not fun when you do that."
The Wildcats received a first-round bye and will face No. 9 Wofford (8-3) in Spartanburg, S.C., on Saturday, Dec. 1, at 2 p.m. The game will be broadcast on ESPN3.
"When it came on and we were the first team, that's all we saw," said sophomore receiver R.J. Harris. "We started jumping around. We didn't even get to finish the bracket. It was a great feeling."
UNH, which received one of 10 at-large berths, was one of three teams from the Colonial Athletic Association to make the 20-team field.
"I didn't even see it," Zarkoskie said. "Everyone else started screaming and yelling, and I started crying. That would have been the last football game I ever played (Saturday), and that's not how I want to go out. I know we're better than that."
Villanova (8-3) received the CAA's automatic bid and Old Dominion (10-1) is the No. 4 seed.
"We were nervous," said leading rusher Nico Steriti. "We didn't play well (Saturday). That's not the face of our program. That's not who we are. We showed resiliency throughout the whole season. We just wanted another chance to get back out there and prove who we really are."
Villanova, UNH, Richmond and Towson each earned a share of the CAA regular-season title with 6-2 league marks.
With Saturday's loss, the Wildcats squandered an opportunity to clinch the CAA title outright and claim the automatic bid.
"You don't want to end the season like that," Harris said. "I think some people saw that we're a good team and they want to give us another chance to go on and show the way we played (Saturday) is not the way New Hampshire is."
Old Dominion was ineligible because the Monarchs are moving up to the bowl subdivision next season. Villanova won the tiebreaker over UNH because it beat ODU and UNH lost to the Monarchs.
The Wildcats are in the same bracket as top seed and defending champion North Dakota State (10-1).
"(Saturday) was tough," Steriti said. "We lost big at home. That's not who we are. Coming here this morning not knowing what's going to happen and to see us called first was very exciting. We just can't wait for the opportunity."
Villanova meets Stony Brook (9-2) in a first-round game next Saturday. Old Dominion drew a first-round bye.
This will be the first meeting between the UNH and Wofford football programs. The Terriers are co-champions of the Southern Conference.
They opened the season with five consecutive wins, but have lost two of their last three games, including a 24-17 loss in double overtime to Samford on Nov. 3.
Wofford, which is NCAA bound for the fifth time in six years, is coming off a 24-7 loss Saturday to South Carolina.
The Terriers feature a triple option attack and rank second nationally in rushing with 348.2 yards per game. UNH allowed 433 yards on the ground in the loss to Towson.
"The game (Saturday) left a bad taste in everyone's mouth," McDonnell said, "but it doesn't matter right now."
Playoff bound: UNH makes NCAA tourney for ninth straight year
DURHAM — The University of New Hampshire football team spent much of Saturday afternoon chasing Towson ballcarriers with little success.

SMS Dangers
By Don Reisinger | Posted 03-14-2012 Print
From trying to determine what your employees should be using to figuring out where in the world you're going to find the right employees to handle security and networking, the tasks presented to CIOs and CSOs on a daily basis are worrisome, to say the least. Over the last several years, the number of security issues affecting desktop computers and mobile devices have skyrocketed. A study from security firm Securelist reveals that the number of threats hitting your network is growing at a rapid rate. Malicious hackers and cybercriminals have realized that targeting you in new places, such mobile devices, is becoming increasingly effective. And your employees, no matter how much they might try, are ill-prepared to fend off many of those attacks. Here's a look at the mobile threats affecting you this year. The following data won't make you safer, but knowing what's out there could help you establish a strategy to safeguard your network far more effectively than you are protecting it right now.

Polygraphists, or polygraph operators, began noticing that people who were deceptive during their interrogations also exhibited certain behavioral signs. The polygraphists theorized that these same behavioral signs could be noticed in interrogations where a polygraph was not used, and set out to see if this was true.
One noted polygraphist, John E. Reid, eventually developed an entire system of interrogation based upon asking suspects questions and watching their reactions. Reid could not just identify those who were deceptive in their answers, but his system also elicited information from those suspects that was eventually used against them to obtain confessions.
Today, Reid's system is taught to most modern law enforcement agencies and any private sector company willing to pay the price. Reid is gone now, but his system of interrogation lives on.

Remember When White House Insisted James Clapper Wasn't Overseeing Review Of Surveillance? About That...
from the we'll-just-redefine-"oversee" dept
Right, so about that. According to the AP, the whole thing is more or less being managed by James Clapper:
... the review panel has effectively been operating as an arm of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which oversees the NSA and all other U.S. spy efforts.Now, Clapper may not technically be on the committee or running it, but since everything is under control of his offices, and they're working out of his offices, does anyone actually believe they're even remotely "independent"?
The panel's advisers work in offices on loan from the DNI. Interview requests and press statements from the review panel are carefully coordinated through the DNI's press office. James Clapper, the intelligence director, exempted the panel from U.S. rules that require federal committees to conduct their business and their meetings in ways the public can observe. Its final report, when it's issued, will be submitted for White House approval before the public can read it.
Oh, and remember how President Obama described how this group would focus on making sure the systems couldn't be abused and rebuilding the trust of the public? Yeah, that's not actually their mandate (or, if it is, it got shoved way, way down on the priority list). Also, the whole promise of it being "independent" was already seen as a joke once everyone realized they were insiders, but even the official memo setting up the board did away with the claim (stated just days earlier by the President) that this would be an independent board. And the actual focus of the board is not, actually, on what has most people concerned:
The formal White House memorandum days later — effectively the legal charter for the group — does not specify anything about its role being independent of the Obama administration. It directed the panel to emphasize in its review whether U.S. spying programs protect national security, advance foreign policy and are protected against the types of leaks that led to the national debate in the first place. The final consideration in the White House memo told the panel to examine "our need to maintain the public trust." There was no mention of the panel investigating surveillance abuses.Basically, this board, which was proposed by the President -- or so he told us -- as a way to review the efforts and rebuild the trust of the American public, was actually set up to be something entirely different: a propaganda committee effectively overseen by James Clapper to talk up how awesome the surveillance state has become.

As reported in the new issue of OK!, there's a lot of tension at the overcrowded American Idol judges' table, with audience faves Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell on one side and Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi on the other. And after Tuesday night's performance show, that divide couldn't have been made more evident.
In a move to keep the show from running over (something Idol has never seemed to care about in seven previous seasons), the producers decided that each contestant would only get to hear from two judges after performing, rather than from all four. And rather than mix and match the judges, they simply alternated Paula and Simon, then Randy and Kara.
And it seemed like every time the other pairing were giving their critiques, Simon and Paula were goofing around behind their backs. During Kara's review of Anoop Desai's performance of the Bryan Adams hit "Everything I Do," a seemingly disgusted Simon flung his hands up in the air while exchanging an eye roll with Paula.
Then while Randy and Kara were giving Matt Giraud feedback on his version of Bryan Adams' (yes, two Bryan Adams songs in one night…), Simon kept pretending to lean forward and interrupt her.
Getting to the actual singing on Tuesday's movie-themed show, it was once again (yawn) Adam Lambert's night to shine, when he added a bit of skinny-jeans shimmer to Steppenwolf's rock dinosaur, "Born to Be Wild." Paula told him, "You dare to dance in the path of greatness." Whatever that means.
Gaining some ground, at least to try to make the remaining weeks interesting, is Allison Iraheta, who lent her smoky voice to Aerosmith's Armageddon power ballad, "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing." Once again, Paula trotted out another gem, when she told the teen she possesses the "same special sauce" as Adam does. Simon was more succint, telling Allison, "You are the girls' only hope in this competition."
Simon made that point abundantly clear when he ripped into Lil Rounds for her gospel-ish take on Bette Midler's "The Rose."
"You're getting this completely wrong," he told her. "There's no excuses anymore… You're not the artist we met 7 or 8 weeks ago."
