JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 30, 2007) -- The first 1,500 fans to arrive at Memorial Center Saturday for ETSU's men's basketball game with Tennessee-Wesleyan will receive a fleece blanket provided by Phil Bachman Toyota. Tip time for the Bucs vs. Bulldogs is set for noon.
ETSU (2-3) will be looking to rebound from its third loss of the season Wednesday night in Chattanooga. That game followed a similar story as in the team's previous two losses, with the Bucs building a significant first half lead only to see foul trouble and poor rebounding doom their hopes for the win.
Fans unable to attend the game in Memorial Center can watch live via video streaming at ASun.TV, or can listen to the free audio stream provided at ETSUBucs.com. For more on Saturday's game, click on the game notes link above or read below for game day information:
Buc Shots
A seven-time NCAA Tournament participant and two-time NIT participant, the ETSU Buccaneers ended the 2007-08 season coming off a regular season Atlantic Sun Conference championship with a 24-10 overall record, a 16-2 league mark a year ago ... The Bucs return the 2006-07 A-Sun Player of the Year in junior guardCourtney Pigram (Memphis), as well as the A-Sun Coach of the Year Murry Bartow and All A-Sun Freshman team pick Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) ... Along with returning players like Pigram and Smith, the Bucs also return significant contributors to last season's success such as senior post Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.), sophomore point guard Dequan Twilley (Shelbyville), senior forward Kenyona Swader (Smyrna), and senior guard Travis Strong (Memphis) ... Newcomers for the Bucs that are expected to contribute early and often include junior college transfer Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.), who was the JuCo Division II National Player of the Year last season, and lightning quick JuCo point guard Jocolby Davis (Meridian, Miss.) ... Several Bucs finished last season leading A-Sun statistical categories, see page 6 of this notebook for more information on those players and their rank ... In addition, see where the Bucs ranked as a team and individually in the NCAA charts last season on page 4.
The series against Tennessee-Wesleyan
This is the sixth meeting between the Bucs and Bulldogs, but the first since 1947 ... ETSU leads the all-time series 4-1 and has won the last three meetings.
Last time out
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (Nov. 28, 2007)- Committing 30 fouls, giving up 31 points at the free throw line and getting out-rebounded 56-33, the ETSU men's basketball team relinquished a 13-point halftime lead to former Southern Conference rival Chattanooga in an 80-76 non-conference loss Wednesday night at the McKenzie Arena ... The Buccaneers, who led 40-27 at the half, could not keep the momentum in the second 20 minutes, as Chattanooga scored 55 points after the break. Overlooked in the loss was a major accomplishment by junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis), who reached the 1,000-point plateau with a basket at the 17:52 mark of the first half ... Indeed, the Bucs have been frustrated on the road, losing by four at Dayton in the season opener, by one in overtime at Marshall, and now by four at rival Chattanooga. In all three games, the Bucs have held double digit leads only to see their opponents rally back from the foul line and with offensive rebounds. This game was no different ... Leading by as many as 16 points with just over three minutes left in the first half, ETSU eventually led 40-27 at the break. However, Chattanooga came out in the second half and took advantage of ETSU's fouling issues, as the Mocs were in the bonus by the first media time out with 15:50 left in the game. Ultimately, UTC's defensive stops, foul shots and rebounding would get them to a tie game at 56-56 with just over nine minutes left in the game ... A Pigram 3-pointer made it 59-56 ETSU, but from there the Mocs regained the lead thanks to five straight points from guard Stephon McDowell and never gave up the advantage for the final eight minutes ... Chattanooga out-rebounded the Bucs 56-33 and the Mocs were 31-of-44 from the foul line compared to ETSU's 17-of-23 clip from the line. More disturbing for ETSU was the fact that the Mocs shot just 37 percent from the floor for the game ... The Bucs were led by 20 points from junior Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.), while Pigram had 19. Senior guard Travis Strong (Memphis) had 12 points, while senior forward Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.). For Chattanooga, Nicchaeus Doaks had a double-double with 20 points and 10 rebounds, while McDowell pitched in 19 points, and Kevin Goffney had 15. For the Mocs, Khalil Hartwell had a game-high 14 rebounds.
Tiggs named A-Sun Player of the Week
MACON, Ga. (Nov. 26, 2007)- Senior forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) averaged 23.0 PPG in two overtime games last week, but his effort in the final minute of the Buccaneers' two-point win at UNC Asheville secured him his first Player of the Week award. He scored six of the Buccaneers final eight points, including the decisive final basket as ETSU escaped with an 89-87 win ... With ETSU trailing by a point, Tiggs grabbed an offensive rebound and scored for a one-point lead, only to have the Bulldogs hit a 3-pt field goal for an 87-85 lead. After turnovers by both teams, ETSU tied the game on a lay up with just under six seconds left, and Tiggs then stole the inbounds pass to score the game-winning layup with 1.7 seconds left. He finished the game with a team-high 20 points, his second straight game of at least 20 points ... The UNC Asheville game culminated a break-out week for Tiggs. He scored 26 points for ETSU in its one-point loss at Marshall. For the week, he averaged 23.0 PPG and 6.5 RPG while hitting on 60.7 percent of his field goal attempts (17-28), going a perfect 12-12 from the free-throw line and picking up four steals and a pair of blocks ... Tiggs, a business major from Flint, Mich., entered his first season with the Buccaneers with high acclaim. A year ago, he earned The NJCAA Coaches Association Division II National Player of the Year honor after averaging, 18.8 PPG, 7.2 RPG and 3.2 SPG in leading Mott Community College to a national championship.
Foul issues
With 125 fouls in their first five games -- an average of 25 a contest -- the Buccaneers are certainly hearing the whistle too much ... By comparison, ETSU opponents have committed just 85 fouls against the Bucs ... In particular, during the Bucs three losses of the season, they have been whistled 26 times (Dayton), 27 times (Marshall) and 30 times (Chattanooga) ... In all three games, the Bucs had multiple players leave the game with five fouls, including three players against UTC ... Against the Mocs, those 30 fouls led to a lop-sided foul shot differential, as the Mocs were 31-of-44 from the line compared to just 17-of-23 for ETSU.
Pigram closing in on 1,000 points
Beginning just his third season at ETSU, junior guardCourtney Pigram (Memphis) has already eclipsed the 1,000-point mark with a jump shot from the right corner at the 17:52 mark against Chattanooga (11/28) ... That basket gave Pigram 1,000 for his career and following the contest with the Mocs, the junior now stands at 1,017 for his career ... The 6-1 shooting guard scored 325 points as a freshman and then netted a remarkable 614 as a sophomore ... His 614 points a year ago ranks 6th on the single season all-time list.
Swader, Tiggs breaking out
Entering this season, a great deal was expected of both junior transferKevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) and senior forward Kenyona Swader (Smyrna) ... Following five games, the two are definitely meeting or surpassing those expections ... In the Bucs' last win UNCA, Tiggs scored the game winner with 1.7 seconds left and also picked up 20 points ... Against Marshall, Tiggs broke out with a game-high 26 points, and setting career marks in most every statistical category ... In all, Tiggs has scored at least 20 points in three of the Bucs' five games, and currently stands tall on the Atlantic Sun stat sheets, ranking 2nd in scoring, second in field goal percentage, fifth in free throw percentage and sixth in steals ... Meanwhile, Swader has provided an immediate offensive threat in his first four games, currently standing fifth on the team with 7.8 points per game ... Currently, Swader is sixth in the the A-Sun with a 47 percent 3-point field goal percentage, and is 4th in overall field goal percentage at .577.
Bucs leading the A-Sun in field goal percentage
Currently, the Bucs sport three of the best shooters in the Atlantic Sun Conference, asKevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.), Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.) and Kenyona Swader (Smyrna) ranked 2, 3 and 4, respectively ... For a complete breakdown of the Bucs' standing in the Atlantic Sun Conference stat sheets, go to Page 6 of this notebook.
Chilton's No. 42 comes out of retirement
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Aug. 31, 2007)- For many years, Tom Chilton's No. 42 has held a special place in ETSU basketball's history. Next season, fans will see that special number on the floor once again ... Chilton, who ranks first all-time with 26.1 points per game and fifth on the all-time scoring list with 1,801, has agreed to allow junior transfer Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) to wear his No. 42 jersey for the 2007-08 and 2008-09 season. Chilton, who now makes his home in Madison, Ind., said he was honored a current player would want to wear his number ... "I wish him the best and I'm honored he wants to wear No. 42," said Chilton, whose 42 is the only retired number in ETSU's program history. "I hope he always considers that the number doesn't make the player, but the player makes the number. A lot of hard work and effort went into that number during my time there, but ETSU gave a lot back to me and I wouldn't be where I am today without that university, so I'm happy to allow the number to be worn again." ... ETSU head coach Murry Bartow said he was appreciative Chilton would allow the number to come out of retirement, and he reiterated that the number will go back into retirement two years from now ... "Tom Chilton was one of the finest players to ever wear an ETSU uniform, and his willingness to allow Kevin to wear the number shows he is still proud to be a part of our program's tradition," Bartow said. "It's our expectation that Kevin understand the importance of the number and the responsibility that goes with wearing it." ... Tiggs, the 2007 National Junior College Division II Player of the Year, said he certainly understood the history behind the number ... "Mr. Chilton was and is a legend here, so wearing his number comes with a great deal of responsibility," Tiggs said. "I just want to play in a way that would make him proud."
A great season in 2006-07
With 16 wins in its last 19 games a year ago, ETSU enjoyed a 2006-07 record of 24-10 overall, 16-2 in A-Sun play ... It was the best overall and conference record for the Bucs since the 2003-04 season ... That season, the Bucs were 27-6 and 15-1 in Southern Conference play, losing by three points to Cincinnati in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Home Sweet Dome
Since the 1996-97 season, the Buccaneers are an amazing 108-36 inside Memorial Center, good for a winning percentage of 75 percent ... ETSU had won five straight at Memorial Center during the 2006-07 season before a loss to Belmont (1/2) ... The Bucs then rattled off 10 straight at home to stand at 15-1 on the Memorial Center floor this season, but fell to Belmont in the final game of the year in the championship of the A-Sun Tournament.
Non-conference home win streak at 13
Over the last three seasons, the Bucs have fared well against non-conference opponents within the confines of Memorial Center ... In fact, the Bucs have won 13 straight non-conference homes games since losing a 90-73 contest to Fresno State back on Nov. 27, 2004 ... ETSU has enjoyed wins over teams such as Marshall, Chattanooga, Central Michigan, Morehead State, Tennessee Tech, UNC Asheville, Eastern Kentucky and Radford in that time frame.
Bucs on the Tube
Along with the new ASun.TV package which will video stream all ETSU men's and women's home games on the Internet, the Bucs will again have a significant presence on the television screen as well this year ... In fact, plans are for ETSU's trips to Oklahoma State (Dec. 8) and Syracuse (Dec. 15) to air live locally, with the Oklahoma State game showing on WAPK and the Syracuse contest airing on WJHL ... The Bucs will also appear on regional cable through the Friday's night CSS Atlantic Sun Game of the Week with the Jan. 25th trip to Jacksonville and the Feb. 1 home game against Mercer scheduled for air on CSS ... In addition, Charter Main Street will air its weekly ETSU replay on Charter 13 and Comcast 14 Tuesday nights at 8 p.m., with the weekly games beginning on Dec. 4th with the Tennessee-Wesleyan game ... For a complete schedule, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's basketball schedule link.
Bucs dominate Preseason All A-Sun Picks
Last season, ETSU won its first Atlantic Sun Conference men's basketball title, but Belmont denied the Buccaneers the conference's automatic bid in the final of the General Shale Brick Men's Basketball Championship ... Entering the 2007-08 season, both the coaches and the media predict that the Buccaneers will again be battling the Bruins for conference supremacy ... Both chose ETSU as the favorite to win the conference and defend its regular-season title with Belmont second ... The Bucs were the clear choice by the media to win the tournament ... The Buccaneers, who have gone 28-10 in A-Sun play in their two years in the league, will continue to be led byCourtney Pigram (Memphis). The junior from Memphis, Tenn. was named the preseason Player of the Year following up his Player of the Year award for the 2006-07 season. As a sophomore, Pigram averaged 18.1 points per game, second-best in the conference and also ranked in the top 10 in steals (2nd, 2.62 SPG), 3-point field goals per game (3rd, 2.62 3-pt FG per game) and assists (7th, 3.74 APG). He turned in one the league's virtuoso performances of the season when he dished out a conference-record 18 assists against Mercer on February 24 to go along with 29 points and eight rebounds. The 18 assists set an A-Sun record, were one off the school record and were the second-highest single-game total in Division I in the last two seasons.
Another championship banner
With a win against Stetson (2/22), the Bucs wrapped up an outright 2006-07 A-Sun regular season title and garnered the No. 1 seed in the week's league championship tournament ... For ETSU, it was the continuation of a recent string of success that dates back to the 2000-2001 season ... In all, the Bucs have captured championships in five of the last seven seasons, including back-to-back NCAA Tournament trips in 2002-03 and 2003-04, and a trip to the NIT in 2006-07 ... Here is the championship breakdown:
2000-2001-- Southern Conference North Division Championship
2001-2002 -- SoCon North Division championship
2002-2003 -- SoCon North Division championship; SoCon Tournament Championship
2003-2004 -- SoCon North Division championship, SoCon Regular Season Championship, SoCon Tournament Championship
2006-2007 -- Atlantic Sun Conference Regular Season Championship
1,111 wins and counting
With a win Jan. 25 against Belmont, the Bucs collected the program's 1,100th win all-time ... In over 80 years of basketball, the Bucs are 1,109-891-27 all-time after dropping Lipscomb on March 2.

Survival Rates for Childhood Leukemias
When discussing cancer survival statistics, doctors often use a number called the 5-year survival rate. This refers to the percentage of patients who live at least 5 years after their cancer is diagnosed. With acute leukemias, children who are free of the disease after 5 years are very likely to have been cured, because it's very rare for these cancers to return after this long.
Survival rates are often based on previous outcomes of large numbers of children who had the disease, but they can't predict what will happen in any child's case. Knowing the type of leukemia is important in estimating a child's outlook. But a number of other factors, including the child's age and leukemia characteristics, can also affect outlook. Many of these factors are discussed in Prognostic Factors In Childhood Leukemia (ALL or AML). Even when taking these other factors into account, survival rates are at best rough estimates. Your child's doctor is likely to be a good source as to whether these numbers apply to your child, as he or she knows your situation best.
Current 5-year survival rates are based on children first diagnosed and treated more than 5 years ago. Improvements in treatment since then might result in a better outlook for children now being diagnosed.
Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL)
The 5-year survival rate for children with ALL has greatly increased over time and is now more than 85% overall.
Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)
The overall 5-year survival rate for children with AML has also increased over time, and is now in the range of 60% to 70%. However, survival rates vary depending on the subtype of AML and other factors. For example, most studies suggest that the cure rate for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), a subtype of AML, is now higher than 80%, but rates are lower for some other subtypes of AML.
Other childhood leukemias
Accurate survival rates for less common forms of childhood leukemia are harder to find.
Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML): For JMML, 5-year survival rates of about 50% have been reported.
Chronic leukemias: For chronic leukemias, which are rare in children, 5-year survival rates are less helpful, because some children may live for a long time with the leukemia without actually being cured. In the past, 5-year survival rates for chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) were reported to be in the range of 60% to 80%. With newer, more effective medicines developed for CML in recent years, survival rates are likely to be higher now, although these new drugs have not been in use long enough to be sure.

In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Always a sacred bond
God has perfected a manual to direct the relationship between a man and woman who share the intention of staying together as a couple. In this case, He specified two institutional bonds: engagement and marriage. He emphasized that these two bonds would be the lawful parameters within which a couple is recognized in a righteous community. He also indicated that this is the righteous foundation of starting a family and having children (16:72, 25:54, 2:235).
For both engagement and marriage, God has detailed certain ethics and commands to be observed by righteous men and women. Via a thorough analysis of such teachings and the factual and distinct traits of both men and women, a student of Quran must conclude that women are afforded absolute protection from abuse and neglect under the laws of the Most Gracious. That analysis should also reveal that God's expectations of a righteous man are set high to ensure that his wife is emotionally, physically, and financially cared for. Furthermore, a righteous husband would persevere in maintaining the sacred bond of marriage at all times. Women are also obliged, with the guidance of Quran, to maintain marital harmony, and abide by the arrangements of the Most Gracious. The distinct traits of men obligate them to different responsibilities in a relationship, but this does not rank them differently or give them authority over women (4:32).
This reminder is intended to describe such obligations and to shed light on those highest moral standards which govern the divine relationship between a man and woman under all circumstances arising from marriage. This includes separation or divorce, and the emotional turmoil which often accompanies them. It is also intended to clarify three misconceptions about the treatment of wives during marriage and after divorce: polygamy (4:3), wife beating (4:34) & and staying in marriage against the wife's will under any circumstance ( 2:228).
- In choosing a spouse, we must remember God prohibits the marriage of believing men and women to idol worshipers (2:221). God emphasizes that spouses ideally would encourage the advancement of the soul (2:221). Believers care about each other's souls. Such care would not be provided by a disbelieving spouse. We thus must keep in mind that God's guidelines are divinely designed for a man and a woman who are sharing the same fundamental belief in one God, and are willing to adopt His path and obey His commands.
The three basic elements to validate a marriage in the sight of God are:
- Mutual attraction/agreement, implied by the context of 4:24; no party is forced to be with the other.
- a set financial agreement to take care of the wife for the duration of marriage (ujooruhunna, fareedah and sadaqatuhunna are the three words used in the Arabic text of Quran and translated as "dowry", the three together mean and imply constant, generous, kind and decreed/set financial commitment so long as the couple is together. It is not a once-in-a-lifetime gift as the word dowry used in the English translation would indicate, 4:24-25)
- Announcing the marriage. God intends that relationships are perceived by the community as sacred not secretive. Enhancing morality, and setting a righteous example through the institution of marriage is behind the divine wisdom of announcing the marriage (4:24-25).
- Engagement is a divinely ordained optional step that describes the premarital stage of mutual attraction. It is stated in Quran that chastity is to be maintained until marriage. God knows that emotions are naturally high at this early stage and He urges the couple to be patient and to maintain righteousness. Keeping the engagement secret is not a justification for unrighteous meetings (23:5-6, 2:235). The fruit of building up the family on such a righteous foundation would be that God will bless the righteous couple with compassion and kindness towards one another (30:21)
- The path of righteousness established by God as detailed in Quran dictates equitable behavior towards women during engagement, throughout marriage, and even during and after divorce. God is the source of all justice and He advocates justice at all times towards fellow humans, including wives. We see this emphasized as we read about both monogamy and polygamy in Quran.
- God supports monogamy and discourages polygamy. The only legitimate basis for polygamy in Quran is the care of orphans - if they need that care (4:3). Even in the case of taking care of orphans, polygamy remains discouraged. God states that it is impossible to be equitable to more than one wife. It is justice towards the existing wife's well-being and emotions which precipitates such discouragement. That care and protection for the wife's emotional needs is clearly expressed in 4:129. We have witnessed widespread abuse of these verses by Muslim men practicing polygamy against the ethics and the spirit of Quran, and against the free will of their existing wives.
- Men are responsible for providing for their wives. This is stated in a portion of 4:34; 'The men are made responsible for the women, and God has endowed them with certain qualities, and made them the bread earners.' It is also stated in 65:7.
- The inheritance laws found in Quran, if observed, guarantee provisions for wives/women in the family from both their own parents/families and their husbands. A son/man would always inherit double of what a daughter/woman would inherit- if a will is not left to specify otherwise- which enables better care for their wives (4:11, 2:180).
- Striving to preserve marriage is a duty for both husband and wife, even in extreme cases of misbehavior (4:34,128). Divorce is discouraged in the Quran. However, its laws are issued for believing men and women in cases when resolving disputes becomes impossible. The discouragement of divorce is understood in the light of 2:226-227 where a 4-month cooling off period is issued before considering the decision of separation, in 4:35 where it is decreed that an arbitrator from each side should be appointed to try to reconcile the couple, in 4:22-23, where God is stating that unlawful marriages (out of ignorance) are not to be broken, in 2:232 where it states that reconciling after divorce is purer and more righteous choice, and in 2:229 where two chances are given to the divorced couple to get back together.
- Once divorce becomes an essential process to go through, there are certain ethics that God expects both a righteous man and woman to adhere to. Those who strive to grow their souls on the path of God would adopt such ethics and follow the Most Gracious' recommendations:
* Providing for the wife after divorce is the husband's obligation. 2:241 institutes that as a duty upon the righteous. If the marriage wasn't consummated, compensating the woman and righteously dealing with any gifts or set financial arrangements remains an obligation and a righteous duty as explained in 2:236-237. Trusting God and overcoming our human selfishness especially while under such emotional stress demonstrate strength of belief, and would be greatly rewarded by God:
[2:241] The divorcees also shall be provided for, equitably. This is a duty upon the righteous.
* Divorced women are to be allowed to stay in the homes they lived in during marriage - if they so wish:
[2:231] If you divorce the women, once they fulfill their interim (three menstruations), you shall allow them to live in the same home amicably, or let them leave amicably. Do not force them to stay against their will, as a revenge. Anyone who does this wrongs his own soul. Do not take God's revelations in vain. Remember God's blessings upon you, and that He sent down to you the scripture and wisdom to enlighten you. You shall observe God, and know that God is aware of all things.
[65:6] You shall allow them to live in the same home in which they lived with you, and do not make life so miserable for them that they leave on their own. If they are pregnant, you shall spend on them until they give birth. If they nurse the infant, you shall pay them for this service. You shall maintain the amicable relations among you. If you disagree, you may hire another woman to nurse the child.
* Husband should not take back anything that was given to the wife during marriage:
[4:20] If you wish to marry another wife, in place of your present wife, and you had given any of them a great deal, you shall not take back anything you had given her. Would you take it fraudulently, maliciously, and sinfully?
[4:21] How could you take it back, after you have been intimate with each other, and they had taken from you a solemn pledge?
* Divorced women must wait for three months before considering another marriage (2:228) to be sure they are not pregnant. If they are pregnant, it is unlawful to hide this information from the fathers. The fathers are more preferred for them if they wish to reconcile. Also, in that case, wives will have rights and obligations but the husbands (as a matter of a fact) have more. This is what the Arabic text of 2:228 is stating. One must notice that the verse DOES NOT by any means force the woman to get back to the husband, against her will, if she finds out she was pregnant as is greatly misunderstood in many of the Muslims/submitters' communities.
[2:228] The divorced women shall wait three menstruation's (before marrying another man). It is not lawful for them to conceal what God creates in their wombs, if they believe in God and the Last Day. (In case of pregnancy,) the husband's wishes shall supersede the wife's wishes if he wants to remarry her [ Arabic text says: husbands are more preferred for these pregnant divorcees if they wish to reconcile]. The women have rights, as well as obligations, equitably. Thus, the man's wishes prevail (in case of pregnancy) [ Arabic text says in that case of reconciliation, women will have rights and obligations, but men will have more than them]. God is Almighty, Most Wise.
Logically speaking, forcing a wife to stay in marriage after divorce because she is pregnant would contradict the Quranic spirit of justice, freedom, and equality. It would also nullify one of the elements to validate the marriage which is mutual attraction and agreement stated earlier in 4:24. God doesn't contradict His divine systems. It is we who fail His systems by our aggression and ignorance. He has indicated that divorced women must mutually agree in the case of pregnancy to reconcile in 2:233, 65:4, and 65:6.
2:233 indicates that in case of pregnancy, both parties are committing no error if they mutually agree to divorce and after due consultation. No one should be burdened beyond his/her ability. This only implies the importance of mutual agreement in handling the relation in case of pregnancy. No party should be harmed because of the baby:
65:4 adjusts the interim for re-marriage of the pregnant divorcee until birth which again implies that there is NO error if both parents mutually agree to part in case of pregnancy.
65:6 instructs the EX husband to care for the pregnant EX wife until she gives birth and to pay her if she is to nurse that baby or hire a nursing woman. This again implies NO error whatsoever in continuing with the divorce if the woman was pregnant, and they both mutually agree to separate.
The terms "prevail" or "supersede" do not exist in the text of 2:228. There is not a command in 2:228 for the woman to stay in marriage against her will if the husband wishes so. No error is committed if the couple would mutually agree to continue with the divorce. 2:228 only presents a divine recommendation for a righteous couple but it is God's divine law that no one should be burdened beyond his means (23:62, 7:42, 6:152, 2:286, 2:33), and that mutual agreement is a must in any transaction (4:29), including both marriage (4:24) and divorce (4:35, 2:233), and that oppression is worse than murder (2:191, 2:217). A righteous mother would do her best to follow God's guidance in 2:228 for the best interest of the baby when the husband wants to reconcile, if she mutually agrees with that, and if this wouldn't be a burden on her, or would subject her to any form of harm or oppression.
- Many of the enemies of Quran hold 4:34 as a red flag against Islam and many of the so-called Muslim men wrong their souls by abusing their wives due to the misinterpretation of this verse:
The Arabic text states:
[٣٤:٤] الرِّجالُ قَوّٰمونَ عَلَى النِّساءِ بِما فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ بَعضَهُم عَلىٰ بَعضٍ وَبِما أَنفَقوا مِن أَموٰلِهِم فَالصّٰلِحٰتُ قٰنِتٰتٌ حٰفِظٰتٌ لِلغَيبِ بِما حَفِظَ اللَّه وَالّٰتى تَخافونَ نُشوزَهُنَّ فَعِظوهُنَّ وَاهجُروهُنَّ فِى المَضاجِعِ وَاضرِبوهُنَّ فَإِن أَطَعنَكُم فَلا تَبغوا عَلَيهِنَّ سَبيلًا إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ عَلِيًّا كَبيرًا
Unlike the traditional and polluted interpretation, the above translates as:
[4:34] Men are the care givers for women BECAUSE of the certain qualities that they are exclusively given AND BECAUSE they are the ones who provide for living and spend from their money. Righteous women would always accept that and they would always guard such an arrangement even in their privacy, when alone, as dictated by God. If you fear rebellion from the women, you shall advise them wisely, then you may stay away from them in bed, then you may disregard them entirely. If they follow your advise, you should not make life difficult for them. God is Most High, Supreme.
The word that is commonly and traditionally translated as "beat them up"/idreboohunna, has extensive volume of meanings! One of its meanings is with no doubt physical blow, hitting or beating. That could apply to all kinds of violent and forceful interactions. It indicates hitting the road either to travel, immigrate, or to seek God's provisions (mentioned in Quran several times). It could also imply stamping, making coins, making commercial deals, using force or motion to mix elements together. Another meaning that God has used numerously in Quran is to bluntly set or introduce debates or explaining/clarifying examples. An additional meaning which is the crucial one in this matter is to disregard, ignore, discontinue interaction. God used that meaning in Quran in 43:5.
If the approach detailed in 4:34 does not work, then 4:35 must be applied and arbitration must be sought. There is no such thing as wife beating in Islam or Quran. Even in extreme cases of behavior for both women and men (4:34 and 4:128), there is only amicable advise, amicable desertion, arbitration, reconciliation or amicable and equitable separation.
The use of physical force to counteract behavioral problems, attitudes, ethics or manners has no place in the entire Quran. The use of physical force to deal with personal disagreements and disputes between individuals has no place in the entire Quran. What is listed in Quran in regard of violence is in self-defense; react to violence by an equal amount of violence (2:194). An example of that is in cases of kicking the believers out of their homes, killing them and oppressing them to prevent them from worshiping God and observing His decreed rites, freely (2:191-193, 8:39, 42:39-41, 26:227). God has decreed that oppression is worse than murder (2:217). Within the institution of marriage, and based on the divine concepts of standing for our rights and defending ourselves against aggression or violence, it is fair to state that both wives and husbands are equally entitled to those rights.
Throughout Quran, we read and understand that men and women are created equally and are both free to choose (3:195, 49:13). No where in Quran God discriminates against women or men. The differences between men and women, which God acknowledges, do not entitle men to oppress, humiliate or use any kind of force, mental, emotional or physical, towards their wives. Furthermore, there is no compulsion in our religion (2:256, 2:148) ; a soul-liberating and powerful divine decree granted truthfully and equally to all humans of all genders and races. Such freedom encompasses everything and all matters- we are here on earth free to choose right or wrong, righteousness or evil, faith or no faith. We are free to sin, repent, reform or plunge deeper into sinning and deviation. All along, God has never decreed force or physical violence as a way of reform. Reform is a choice and a manifestation of our free will. Violence never leads to real reform- it leads to shame, fear, oppression and destruction.
In conclusion, man & woman relationships are delicately dealt with by the Most Gracious using the highest standards of ethics, and the most eloquent and detailed manner, based on the distinct factual qualities of both men and women. In general, women are offered the utmost care and respect in Quran. Polygamy is strictly limited to only one case: taking care of orphans in need, period. Even in that case, polygamy is discouraged for the sake of justice. There is no command in Quran for a woman to stay in marriage against her free will because she is pregnant, or for any other reason. Mutual agreement is decreed by God for all kinds of transactions. The sacred bond between a man and woman who have shared the intention to be together is divine and should be honored at all times. Even in extreme cases of behavior for both women and men (4:34 and 4:128), there is only amicable advise, amicable desertion, arbitration, reconciliation or amicable and equitable divorce. There is no such thing as wife beating in Quran. Both husband and wife are obliged to preserve the institution of marriage - the healthy building unit of a righteous community.
Peaceful Friday, salaam and God bless.

PeerGuardian BlockList Filter
I found two ways of using peerguardian blocklist file under Unix. The first was the official peerguadian under unix project ( http://moblock.berlios.de/ ) but i have had problems with the library. If someone would try to make it work it would be great. The second was a to use Linblock ( http://dessent.net/linblock/) witch was use under Linkstation.
Installation of Linblock
Linblock requires some Perl Libraries. Those can be installed via cpan, just run :
cpan -i LWP Net::IP IPTables::IPv4
I have had some make error with the IPTables::IPv4 library, so I installed it manually ( http://search.cpan.org/~dpates/IPTables-IPv4-0.98/IPv4.pm )
tar -xzvf IPTables-IPv4-0.98.tar cd IPTables-IPv4-0.98 perl Makefile.pl make make install
Download (http://dessent.net/linblock/) and chmod linblock
chmod 755 linblock.pl
Linblock requires the p2p peerguardian file format. You can find it on the peerguardian wiki then just run :
linblock -i yourfile.p2p
It will parse and then insert the rules inside iptables. It can take a really long time...

In Orinda, the City Council faces two key issues: Keeping the community financially afloat as city income dwindles and finding a way to fix horribly dilapidated roads the city inherited when it incorporated in 1985.
On both issues, the council regularly taps the knowledge of highly educated residents by forming advisory committees and then seriously listening to their suggestions. But, on roads, a minority of dissident voters has blocked progress.
Twice, the council has asked for approval to float bonds to fix the streets. Twice the vote fell just a few percentage points short of the required two-thirds approval. This election, the council is trying to jump-start the repairs with a sales tax increase.
It would be hard to fault this council's hard work, unless you're Linda Delehunt, an education policy advocate and three-decade city resident who has run a disappointing campaign of rumor-mongering without factual support. She's challenging incumbents Steve Glazer and Victoria Smith.
Delehunt also objects to the council granting city staff authority to approve public works contracts under $50,000 using an informal, state-approved bidding process. To us, it seems like a reasonable policy to hold down costs and speed completion of small repairs.
Orinda's City Council and municipal government function well and harmoniously. We recommend that voters re-elect Glazer and Smith to ensure that continues.

Confessions of a Recovering Environmentalist – Paul Kingsnorth – Orion Magazine
I became an "environmentalist" because of a strong emotional reaction to wild places and the other-than-human world: to beech trees and hedgerows and pounding waterfalls, to songbirds and sunsets, to the flying fish in the Java Sea and the canopy of the rainforest at dusk when the gibbons come to the waterside to feed. From that reaction came a feeling, which became a series of thoughts: that such things are precious for their own sake, that they are food for the human soul, and that they need people to speak for them to, and defend them from, other people, because they cannot speak our language and we have forgotten how to speak theirs. And because we are killing them to feed ourselves and we know it and we care about it, sometimes, but we do it anyway because we are hungry, or we have persuaded ourselves that we are.

This documentary about the aspirations of high-school basketball players from inner city Chicago won awards from the Sundance film festival, the New York Film Critics Circle, and the Academy Award (Oscar) for best editing.
Two young men are followed during their entire high-school career, beginning with their participation in playground games and ending with their being recruited by colleges.
The obstacles these young men face include parental drug addiction, family poverty, and inner-city violence, as well as the usual obstacles that arise in competition, including physical injuries.
While each aspires to leave the ghetto, there are many reasons to suppose they may not be able to, despite each beating the odds against them by winning college scholarships.

Former St. James all-state uses all-star game as tuneup.
M.J. Buschmann was representing her high school one last time on a basketball floor.
However, Buschmann, an all-state player from St. James High School, viewed last weekend's activities during the 19th annual Gerald Pilz & Friends All-Star Games as a beginning, not an ending.
"For me it is kind of the beginning of college," said Buschmann, who on Saturday night played on the white team, which lost to the red team during the Pilz All-Star Game event. "You're playing against girls who work as hard as you and play as hard as you."
Buschmann is preparing for next school year, when she will be playing for Mineral Area Junior College in Park Hills, Mo. She plans to play at Mineral Area for two seasons before deciding on which four-year university to transfer to.
As a prep senior this past season Buschmann helped continue the proud Lady Tiger basketball tradition, as she earned all-state honors (from both the coaches and sportswriters/sportscasters associations) for leading St. James to a 26-5 overall record and a third-place finish in the Missouri Class 3 State Tournament. The Lady Tigers were ranked No. 1 in Class 3 for most of the regular season.
A 5-10 forward coming off knee surgery which wrecked most of her junior campaign, Buschmann averaged 16.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.8 steals, shot 46 percent from the field and 31 percent from three-point range for the Lady Tigers this past season.
Buschmann said she used preparation for the Pilz All-Star event as part of her overall summer workout to get ready for the jump from the prep to the collegiate game.
"We have open gyms on Wednesdays," Buschmann said. And (St. James girls' basketball head coach Terry Wells) just got a shooting machine at the high school and I've been using that. And (Mineral Area head coach Gary Koch) gave me a different page for conditioning each day – Monday, Wednesday and Friday – and I've been doing most of that. Some of it requires weight lifting (machines) I can't get."
Buschmann also used the Pilz All-Star girls' game to test her knee, as she has shed the knee brace she used throughout last season. She seemed to pass the test, scoring several field goals and running the floor well.
"It's the second time for not using the knee brace," she said. "I prefer not using it."

There are three Survival maps to play, and different characters have different strengths and weaknesses on each one. Each map also lets you set up creative traps that will kill destroy your enemies by the bucket-load. The only real downside of the Survival Mode is that it gets old fast with only three maps to choose from, but even so, it is where I spent the majority of my time.
The worst part about Shank 2 is its length. It's only a couple hours long and a dedicated gamer can power through it in one sitting. Survival Mode adds another couple hours to this, but without a friend to play with, this too will get old. There is a little bit of replay value in the single-player's achievements, multiple paths, and numerous weapons to try out, but one playthrough is more than enough for most people. Still, I never get tired of seeing my enemies die by way of flaming tires, so if you have a real love for violence, you might get two or three playthroughs out of the campaign.
If you are wondering whether or not you should buy Shank 2, first ask yourself whether or not you liked the original Shank. If the answer is yes, then Shank 2 is an automatic buy. Its cooler, smoother, has a seriously dark sense of style, and the Survival Mode will probably keep you occupied for longer than you would think. If the answer is no, then let me say that Shank 2 is an improvement over the original in every way. The controls are tighter, the gameplay is more fun, and the game feels far less cheap. If these are the things that kept you from enjoying the original, then Shank 2 is right up your alley.

it looks cool and feels great but when I put it on my 2013 Harley Blackline , which it is supposed to fit, it sat off the fender like an inch. it didn't fit flush or snug along the frame.
Great looking seat and much more comfy than OE, though strictly a bar hopper. After an hour, expect a numb rear.
Great seat & easy installation... the only issue (which is my personal problem) is that it's a bit slippery and thus under hard acceleration, I don't feel as planted to the seat as I would have with the material from the stock vinyl seat.
fit my 2002 hd sottail duece like a glove, very happy
No better seat out there for the buck. Very satisfied!!!!!!
Awesome seat! Really changed the look of my bike!
This is a great seat for anyone who wants to sit low. I love this seat. im not sure what the gel one is all about but this seat is awesome.
love the seat
Good product once I figured out how to get it on. Looks great.
good seat
great seat ,it sit about two inches lower then stock seat, fits nicely and looks great . one draw back it is hell after 100 miles .a real butt breaker
Bought this for my friend - he loves it
Nice,was easy to install,looks good on my 2006 singer classic,much better than stock seat and makes different feel and ride,and stock p-pad fits,well worth the cash.
awesome seat..
great seat, fits awesome.. and looks great..
Good seat just what I was looking for
After installing this seat my motorcycle went from average to bad a$$ custom look. If you are looking for a low profile sleek look then this is your seat. If you're on the fence then get it!
Put this seat on 04 Fat Boy....it was exactly the look I wanted....look's great on my bike.
Seat was a perfect fit! My bike has a hinged seat for access to the battery underneath, and it bolted right on! Looks great!
My LaPera seat is everything I hoped it would be. The installation was a breeze and the fit was perfect.
I like the way it sits on frame
I love it.
I purchased it for a sleeker minimal look, Nailed It!
love the way the seat looks on my 89 superglide, but if u dont have the latch and hinge it takes to mount the seat, u wont find them, the H D parts are obsolete, they dont make them anymore!
The seat is really nice but I had to return it because it did not fit my FXRS-CONV with a stretched tank. I'm sure it would have fit stock. Also the screws were a different thread than the old Lepera seat I have on there.
Great looking seat. Not the most comfortable in long rides.
Love the Bare Bones seat!! Drastic change from the original and gives an awesome low look!
Absolutely love the lower seat look, but the butt gets sore after a little while.
Love this seat! Looks great and surprisingly comfortable for how low profile it is.
Looks great on my sporty, and as usual out standing J&P service.
worth the money.. gets you low and comfortable to me.. if your going single this just makes since..
Great Seat, Low Slim line profile- Perfect Fit to my XLH1200. If i was to buy another seat- it would be the le pera bare bones from JP!
Excellent quality and awesome look over stock seat. Very comfortable on trips around the town or country side. J&P Cycles always comes through!!
Love the look of this seat on my custom 82 sporty. It not only looks great, the quality seems very good to me. It came well protected and shipped with several heavily chromed mounting adaptors that looked and worked well. Even fit effortlessly on my non standard config behind my older two piece fat bob tank. Well done. :-)
Nice value.. looks great up in my garage..
Just what I expected from Le Pera , it looks perfect for a little 883 ! And J.&P. got it here way FAST . THANKS. GUYS !
looks and feels great--love every aspect of it!!
Its a good looking seat but, next time, I would go with the one with the biker gel. It is pretty hard for longer rides.
When they say bare bones they mean it.Felt like I was sitting in my Wideglide not on it.good seat for the money
Great seat!! I really like the way it looks on my 2005 xl1200c. For me it's comfortable as well. I ride it regularly to work about 1.25 hrs each way.
I received my new Lepera Solo Seat and installed it immediately! it was very easy to install,only took minutes,it was just as I imagined very well made looks great and is very comfortable,this seat really makes a difference on the appearance as well,good price and speedy delivery,Thanks so much!
Great seat. Awesome look and still has enough of a rear lip that you don't squirt onto the rear fender when you give it some gas.
excellant seat just like the photo
nice seat, easy to install, received just what I ordered
Fits and looks great on my '09 Night Train.
Fits great looks bad a$$
Love the seat. It provides the nice custom look I was wanting.
Good looking seat; fair price; did not come with rear mount bracket. 07' FXSTC stocker does not have a strap type mount bracket to use on installation. Please make notation on description or have mfgr consider installing. Thanks JP.
Awesome seat for the price.
Love the seat. Not so pleased with the clasp to screw the seat down. Just seems a little cheap. But not J&P's fault. Still love the seat.
Great looking seat. Nice and low.
Shipped super fast
look awesome on 12 fat bob. not very comfortable but worth it.
I'm 6' 4" tall and after adding forward controls on my Street Bob and this seat, I now sit comfortably without feeling cramped.
I got this for my '08 Low Rider and love it. Its much thinner in padding and "width" than the OEM, which I love. It took only 2 minutes to properly align the mounting screw. Between the fit & finish as well as feel, coupled with the J&P Gold Member price, this was a great purchase for me.
This is a really good seat for just riding around town, I have got used to it riding the hour to and from work. Looks great on my dyna
Great Seat...Great price..
Looks good and fits nicely on my street bob 2012
excellent siège, étroit et mince et très bonne qualité
no complaints here. fit perfect and looks great
Nice seat, not good for long rides though
Really nice seat !
love this seat! fit perfect and is comfortable. gave me the look I was going for.
like the new seat
Very sleek seat for those who want to retain the solo look but still allow for passengers. Great for short distances and looks great. Even looks good with my quick release sissy bars. Very easy installation and fast shipping.
Perfect. Quality construction and materials, and fit perfectly with the stock fender on my FXSTS. Will be installing a custom fender when it arrives, but anticipate no problems with the fitment. This seat really cleaned up the lines/ look of my scooter and has been very comfortable on shorter rides around town. For long distance runs I will likely swap this out with my thicker two-up seat anyway.
Great looking seat. Makes the bike seem alittle bit lower. Very comfortable. Looks really good on my 2006 roadglide.
Fit great. Looks great. A little harder than I'm used to but I like it.
Love the look of he seat! I wanted low profile for my 2004 Road King and it's perfect. Easy installation took maybe 5 minutes to install. Only complaint is took about a month to receive after I ordered it but since it's winter no big deal. Yes I would recommend this if your looking for a clean low profile seat. Quality of the seat is great
Pretty slick looking seat. Don't know how well it will do on a long ride, but that's not why I got it. Wish the P Pad would hurry up and get here.
Le pera barebones seats are great! This is my 3rd bike to have a barebones.
Love it great fit
Got seat on time,exactly what I ordered! Very impressed with the service of this company!
looks good but if you can get a gel seat as this one is good for rides of no more than about 30minutes
Seat was a little smaller than I had expected but it still looked good. It was easy to mount.
Perfect fit, looks great!
looks good, and fits good
Connects real easy on to La pera solo seat. Looks really nice.
the money is in my acount can yous send me my seat
Comfortable and looks good
Love this seat, it's made a huge difference.
Completly changed the look of my deluxe. Fit is perfect. A little stiff, buy I think it will be okay
Nice looking seat and pretty well made but looks aren't everything. If you're riding any distance your rear end will feel like your papa gave you the paddling of your life
Cool seat. Very low. A bit hard but that's a given.
Got my seat in 2 days, super fast shipping, and product is just what I was looking for, bad ass seat, Thanks J&P.
It's a very nice seat for the money. Hard but good for a 200 mile trip max in my opinion. Fit my 2016 softail classic fine. i'm able to use the stock rider seat with this seat so it is cool in that aspect...

Super easy to install. Lowered me enough so that I'm below the top of the windshield. No more helmet buffeting. Looks great too !
Great seat for good price. All as advertised.
Easy install, great quality seat. Exactly what product description depicted.
Excellent choice of seat and awesome service from JPC, keep up the good work
Great durable material. Wonderful craftsmanship. Gave my bike an awesome new look. I just thought it was uncomfortable to ride. Not enough padding. Felt like I would slide off the back when taking off. Made my legs rub on the tip of the seat. Would not recommend for long trips. Would recommend for bike show and city cruises.
I have a 2013 Road Glide Ultra. This is a perfect seat to drop your touring bulky seat for the off season or short rides. It makes you sit a little lower and back which is great! I feel like I'm on my wide glide again. I recommend you buy a bib to go with this seat. The stock seat rubs the paint job and it can be an eye sore. Other than that do not expect it to be comfy. you can however buy a cushion cover for longer rides if you don't feel like putting on your stock seat.
Seats, once mounted, cannot be returned. Returned seats must be in new condition with no evidence of wear or mount marks. Be careful to check fitment before mounting your new seat. When checking fitment of seat, place a cloth under seat, do not bolt down seat. Carefully set seat on bike and check fitment. Returned seats showing any signs of wear or mount marks cannot be accepted. Please be careful when checking fitment.

Poll: GOPers have bleak outlook
Life in the GOP is gloomy.
According to a Gallup Poll released Wednesday, Republicans have never have had such a bleak outlook for the future compared to Democrats. The Gallup survey of life rating asks respondents to evaluate their lives now and five years from now on a scale of zero to 10, which are then averaged out on a zero to one hundred scale. In November, the Democratic life rating was 56.9. The average GOP score was only 40.3, marking the biggest gap between the parties in the history of Gallup's polling.
Story Continued Below
Ratings for independents also dipped slightly to 43.8, leaving the overall American life evaluation score at 47.2, the lowest in 13 months.
There is a correlation between which party controls the White House and life rating scores. Throughout 2008, GOP scores were often 10 points higher than Democratic ones, as George W. Bush wrapped up his second term in office. Over the past four years, Democratic and Republican scores have closely tracked each other, before beginning to diverge at the beginning of 2012.
Republicans are also less likely to approve of Congress, with only 14 percent doing so. Twenty-one percent of Democrats approve, according to a separate Gallup Poll released Wednesday. Overall congressional approval, at 18 percent, remains unchanged from the previous month.
The life rating poll was conducted throughout November, with a random sample of more than 30,000 adults. The margin of error is plus or minus 1 percentage point. The congressional poll of 1,025 adults was conducted Dec. 14-17 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

Paste: "For anyone who remembers Kratos at the beginning—the real beginning eight years ago, not the manufactured origins of Ascension—the whole thing is just depressing now. You tell yourself maybe this is the last time, maybe the Ghost of Sparta is finally ready to grow up and move along. And if not, well, maybe it's time to stop answering the phone."
I was looking for that other BS review on Ascension today, a 3/10 from GamingLives or something, guess they whitdrew it. And now this, a cool one and a half point higher.
I finally completed Archi's Challenge and the game this weekend, on Hard and without the 1.3 update, and I can say it's not a broken game, it has a few bugs but it's not broken or unplayable, in fact it's my favourite game in the series. Because of the gameplay, the fighting mechanism just feels right.
A 4.5 resembles a mess, Ascension is not.
More clowns trying to get hits again? Another no name site we all know the drill which is... story: WTF and like this site: NO lately I have been using this system pretty oftenly the emergence of no name sites fishing for hits has blown up
Don't lie to your selves. This is the crappiest GOW. Why change the parry system. Why do "the whole camera pans out fight" while u can't see kratos. Oh and the minions are laughable. For me in GOW. The first boss battle sets the tone. 1. Hydra. 2. Statue. 3. Poseidon. Ascension. Monster that came out of a hand. Not one single awesome soundtrack. When I play GoW I need to hear the trumpet soundtrack it gives me moral. And the combat is laughable. This is what happens when you change directors. "Submit" "I would rather die". Is my favourite kratos comeback. Asenscion is the WORST GOW

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - LSU football radio analyst Doug Moreau is currently on a temporary leave of absence while dealing with health issues.
Moreau, who has called LSU football games for 35 years, missed the season opener against TCU land will miss the Tigers' home opener against UAB. No word when he will return to the booth.
"I'm hoping to have these health matters resolved very soon," Moreau said. "I hope this is only a temporary arrangement for the radio network. I do appreciate LSU's support and willingness to accommodate me during this time."
The LSU Sports Radio Network will shuffle talent with Gordy Rush coming in to fill as color analyst until Moreau returns. Rush, who has served as the sideline reporter for the past two years, will work alongside play-by-play announcer Jim Hawthorne.
Bill Franques will take over for Rush as sideline reporter during Moreau's absence. Franques is the color analyst for LSU baseball's away games and the voice of Alex Box Stadium
Moreau was an All-American who played for LSU from 1963-65. He then went to play for the Miami Dolphins in the NFL from 1966-70. He has also served as a judge and district attorney in Baton Rouge.

This would be a glamorous and healthy addition to most library collections.Booklist
Erskine (Skinny Weeks and Weekend Feasts) presents over 100 recipes organized by verb-centric chapters (Slurp, Crunch, Ooze, Soothe, etc.) as well as a Basics chapter, providing direction on homemade stocks, hollandaise sauce, and new basics such as cauliflower rice. International flavors permeate the title with dishes such as the lamb shawarma with burned pita; hummus and pomegranate tabbouleh; tuna tataki with yuzu, ginger, and crispy garlic; and Korean fried chicken. Short prep and cooking times make for ideal midweek dinners. A brief yet well-chosen selection of desserts includes black velvet cake made with chocolate stout, and a maple syrup, orange, and rosemary tart. Extensive headnotes give the reader insight into the authors cooking history and provide nutritional information. The book offers whimsical ingredient illustrations, full-page color photos, and a quirky collage of people, places, food, and cats on the end pages. This is an upbeat, inspiring collection just in time to battle the winter blues.Publishers Weekly

I'll be following the first episodes of this show, mostly to see what the anime is all about.
Not familair with the source material in the slightest, but that's how I usually approach every anime I watch.

This episode will be surely judge by many and people will have lots of mix emotion on it. It will break the people on their impression on how JC staff works.
And I haven't seen the preview yet so I don't have a clue on how the first few minutes will start but I have hope but not high hope. I'm familiar with JC so I can expect what to expect

True to the original in so many delightful ways. The "Rin gained the title no-con of legends", the aphorisms, the battle sfx going through the phone, so awesome.
The OP and ED were great too
Oh, and I wholeheartedly approve of the new Sasami.

I also liked the pacing. It went through the events of the first day or two pretty quick, but I'd rather they did that instead of just dragging it out. Hopefully, the rest of the set-up of the series will continue at about the same pace, so then there'll be plenty of time for them to properly do Refrain/whatever ending they decide to go with.
Also, Horie Yui's voice acting grew on me as the episode went on. I think I live with Riki being voiced by her. She did a pretty good job.

I just start watching the raw but darn. A good episode opener with Brosuke coming out of the wilds and the lights of the city flashing through!!! and the the battle with Masato (who lacks muscles) and Kengo. I'm just currently watching and hasn't finish watching the episode yet but Naoe's voice is too darn moe!!! Yui Horie is doing her work but its making Riki..... well >_> moe I love her voice but it just doesn't suit... somehow. Well continuing to watch it and judge how the first episode fair.
Just finished the first episode.
The episode is good and the story feels the same for me and also loved that ost. The marks of keys works with their great work on ost which makes they great. I'll give it a 10 for all the waiting I've been doing and finally its here. I won't be anal on the faults of the first episode but its THERE. The typical JC staff work. It has faults like animation and pacing wise but.... well I love the work and will like to savor it more for all the time I've been waiting for it and its finally here and I just finished the first episode.
I also kinda like the change of scenery or background in every event if it can be change though I would prefer if they don't skip the fights. Sasami is still so DARN CUTE OH MY GODDESS THAT TWIN TAIls OF YOURS!!! though they skip that fight with her and Rin...... ahh I'm already listing the problems which I don't want to notice but can't help to notice while watching the episode.
Will like to calm down first before rewatching it again. it just funny and fun to watch it. and maybe turn my brains off to make it better watching.

Tsukiyomi -Moon Phase-
I really wish this anime was animated by KyoAni. Watch it get reanimated again just like Kanon. Chuunibyou on the other hand was actually pretty good imo.
Anyways the first episode wasn't interesting at all. I'll give it another couple episodes decide if I should keep watching it. There was so much hype on this anime.

Great first episode! I had a smile on my face the entire time. My only complaints are the lack of animation during the flashback scene and that the bgm could have been incorporated a bit more skillfully (music transition during the Sasasa fight was especially jarring), but I was amazed at how faithful of an adaptation it was. Seeing cat-ears Rin in animation, aaah so cute~ Totally satisfied so far. 9/10.

Hmm I don't wanna say it but the first episode was a little underwhelming. Lots of nostalgic parts but nothing that really impressed, lots of the gags just felt weird. The atmosphere and the timing didn't feel right, gags like Masato getting the ball in the chest by no-con Rin was obviously a joke, but didn't get me to grin or even feel an ounce of humor. The animation was a little disappointing. The colors should be more vibrant and less grainy, I wanna feel like I'm watching a moving painting as in some past Key adaptations. I'm not saying the anime is bad as a whole, but it's Little Busters!, I want it to be special.
I know exactly what this show feels like now that I think about it, if I had to describe the first episode in a sentence, it'd have to be that it feels like the Clannad movie! Animation-wise, gag-wise, enjoyment-wise it's pretty much on par with that. Agree that there were too many stills, the Sasami and Rin fight is the part where the studio could have really showed off by animating the fight and making it something extra interesting. The fight with Masato and Rin could been more memorable. Get some more choreography in, make it more of a dance. Some extra over the top stuff like that. I want to see scenes with a lot of excitement and action that only an anime could provide. The first episode just feels awkward, getting Masato and Kengo to the point where they fight with a squirt gun and cat, the progression up to that point should either be: More natural but in a clever way, or just very surprising. Lots of the scenes lacked impact for me. The way the episode feels is strangely familiar, it's like it has an old-fashioned directing style to it or progression of events.
At least the VA's were good. (Yui Horie <3) I liked the new Alicemagic used in the ED. Deformed Rin pouting on the mound was a funny sight.
Still importing the first disc and looking forward to the blonde girl on the roof at the end of this episode .
Edit: Actually the animation doesn't bother me as much on a second viewing. I'm liking the anime more and more. It's starting to feel more and more like Little Busters! and I'm actually getting lost just watching. Mmm Riki sounds so girly with Yui Horie's voice that they should just animate him as a girl . Pretty good first episode actually, I think a combination of high expectations and trying to judge it as an anime instead of just watching hurt my ability to enjoy the show. Indeed even the Rin and Sasami fight with the boys reaction to the game-esque sounds coming from the phone was funny.

Don't have the problems with animation. of cause it's not KyoAni level(J.C. Staff could do it but it's not actually some heavy action Sci-Fi like Index to do so). The pacing is just right for me. They animated prologue+first day+a bit of second with minimal cuttings. Just right. could understand people complaining but they just compare anything to biggest KyoAni works which is too high.

I do like the character designs for the extras though. A-chan looks super moe in the OP and so did the extras Rin talked to.
Edit: Actually the animation doesn't bother me as much on a second viewing. Still lacking a bit of polish even compared to J.C.'s recent works though IMO.

Ah~... Hm? Mm... Well, I can't say it was an impressive episode, but it is a first episode and it did the job of introducing the main characters. I'm sure there will be more happenings as it goes on.
Though since I never did the original source, I can't tell how closely JC is following it. Though one thing I hope is that the big revelation isn't the same type as Clannad and Kanon, considering both were similar and all three were by the same company...
Although I have seen the OP before and was pretty surprised that the anime used the exact same song.
