"San Diego Surf," which was only partially edited, was completed and released in January this year at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York — more than 40 years after it was originally filmed.
The 90-minute color film showcases many of Warhol's infamous superstars and features a loose narrative about an unhappily married couple and their pregnant daughter, all of whom are chasing after the attention of San Diego surfers.
On March 16, the spirit of Warhol's work will return to La Jolla's shores at the Museum of Contemporary Art for the West Coast premiere of the film, which was completed by original film director Paul Morrissey based on the existing notes and rough cut.
Guests are invited to come early for the pre-screening happy hour beginning at 4:30 p.m., which will include light hors d'oeuvres, a no-host bar and the rare behind-the-scenes look at Warhol and Morrissey's making of the film through never-before-seen footage filmed by La Jolla resident Lee Pratt. The film screening will begin at 5:30 p.m.
Tickets to the film screening are $8 for general admission, $5 for students and seniors and free for MCASD members. MCASD La Jolla is located at 700 Prospect St. For more information, visit www.mcasd.org or call (858) 454-3541.

Psycho-acoustics (PoemTalk #17)
Rodrigo Toscano, 'Poetics'
We know one poet who can bring Kim Jong-il, Montezuma and Maggie Thatcher — and us — together to the table. It's Rodrigo Toscano, and more specifically the Rodrigo Toscano who wrote the poems collected in the book Platform. The word "platform," Al notes in this newest PoemTalk episode, suggests something programmatic, something being contended overall. And one plank, as it were, of this platform is — for Toscano — the relatively light (comic, playful, quick) poem "Poetics," suggesting an aesthetic program, maybe even an ars poetica. Taking this titular cue, the PoemTalkers this time, Randall Couch, Linh Dinh, and Emily Abendroth, sought to piece together the ranging geo-political references, heard the many different registers, tried to place them in a musical idiom, and either concluded that the "Psycho-Acoustic[…] / Jangling" makes a beautiful sound and has a special political force or that the jangling, while beautiful, puts the platform's meaning just out of reach. Al, Emily, and Randall take the former view of the poem, while Linh, in a dissenting mood, takes the latter.
That musical idiom is jazz. The political import of "Pyongyang" — the jarring disharmonious pesty capital of North Korea, an uncooperative element in any poem — leads us in one direction. But its sheer sound sounds more like jazz than communism.
But it does...
flips the whooole session
on its head
in range
and dash out
"In Walked Bud" is a Thelonious Monk piece (made into a soundy poem by jazz-minded Amiri Baraka). The session is what we call a gathering of jazz musicians somewhat improvisationally making their special noise, always a greater aural whole than the parts alone. The poem is a geopolitical session. The lexicals brought within range "clash," yes, but they also "dash out": appearing off the scale, as Pyongyang does in almost any so-called postcommunist discussion, and yet crazy musical 14ths can be worked just right to produce "perfect fifths / effects."
If you like this poem, it's because Toscano helps you imagine that the improvised postcommunist joint can start hoppin' and that a poem is just about the only place, for now, where such a "real summit meeting" (jazzworld phrase for bringing together just the right [blues] elements) can take place.
Really? Does Rodrigo Toscano really want Margaret Thatcher to join in — "as guest / jew-harp / soloist?" Sounds like a good deal of mockery there. But if she does join this performance of a Postmodernity Rag, notwithstanding the "formative / contradictions" of the European Union remaining "unresolved," we are left in the end with a reminder that we are all implicated. Postmodern political life makes a "ho'" of itself, just as Maggie does, just as we do. Emily Abendroth comments on this: can we like or accept one aspect of postmodern life but keep clear of and unimplicated in the rest?
You got the microphone now, so…let's hear it. From the platform, your oration might begin: "A specter is haunting poetic discourse…"
Here's our PennSound recording of the poem, made in Buffalo in November of 2001.

My dream as a boy always had been to play alongside Mickey Mantle. The Yankees as a team were my heroes. But at this minute, I would not want to trade uniforms.
- Cesar Geronimo following the Reds' four-game sweep of the Yankees in the 1976 World Series
When the Reds acquired Cesar Geronimo in the blockbuster deal that brought Reds Hall of Famer Joe Morgan to Cincinnati prior to the 1972 season, few would have predicted that Geronimo would become the centerfielder who would anchor the outfield of the Big Red Machine teams that dominated baseball in the 1970s. After all, Geronimo had been little more than a late-inning defensive replacement and pinch-runner in parts of three seasons with the Astros. The Dominican native had not even started playing baseball until he was 17, two years before the Yankees signed him to a contract after watching him play on his father's softball team. The Astros, who drafted him out of New York's minor league system, also recognized the raw talent the Yankees had seen but there was no talk of Geronimo becoming a star largely because it was believed that he would never hit enough to hold down a starting position at the Major League level.
Upon his arrival in Cincinnati, Geronimo fell under the tutelage of hitting coach Ted Kluszewski, a Reds Hall of Famer renowned for his ability to hit for power while also demonstrating tremendous discipline at the plate. The former Reds slugger instructed Geronimo to eliminate the upper cut from his swing and to start to hit down on the ball to better take advantage of his speed on ground balls. The advice paid immediate dividends as the formerly light-hitting Geronimo hit a solid .275 in limited action in 1972. Injuries contributed to a .210 mark in 1973 but rebounded to hit .281 in 1974. Geronimo's peak offensive season occurred two years later when he batted .307 for the World Champion Reds of 1976. The successful offensive campaign in 1976 was preceded by a seven hit, two home run performance in the Reds' seven game victory over the Boston Red Sox in the 1975 World Series.
Impressive though Geronimo's offensive development may have been, it was his defense that made him truly special. Reds Hall of Fame manager Sparky Anderson described his defense as "ungodly" and his contemporaries compared his arm to that of Roberto Clemente when Clemente was at his peak. Kluszewski suggested that Geronimo was "like a center in basketball - he intimidates you. Not only is his arm incredibly strong, it's also accurate. No one, I mean no one, runs on him." "Cannon." "Rifle." Any such superlative aptly described the left arm of Cesar Geronimo. So powerful was his arm that the Reds briefly considered converting him into a pitcher after they acquired him.
Geronimo's arm was matched only by his uncommon grace in patrolling centerfield. His long, smooth strides allowed him to close on fly balls that most outfielders simply could not get to in time. A track coach once measured Geronimo's stride at nine feet, nearly two more feet than that of the average runner. He excelled at making the spectacular look routine, at turning diving catches into easy outs. Geronimo's prowess in the outfield resulted in four consecutive Gold Glove awards from 1974 - 1977. Teammates and Reds Hall of Famers Johnny Bench, Dave Concepcion and Joe Morgan are the only Reds players to win more Gold Gloves than Geronimo's four.
While acknowledged for his defense Geronimo's contributions to the Reds success in the 1970s was often lost amidst the glare of players like Bench, Morgan, Pete Rose and Tony Perez. Despite being an outstanding defender and solid hitter for baseball's best team, Geronimo was never named to an All-Star team. Even in 1976, when he hit a career best .307, stole 22 bases and posted a .414 on base percentage, he was not included on an All-Star team that featured seven of his teammates; the very teammates that were the first to attest to Geronimo's essential role in the team's success.
If Cesar Geronimo was under appreciated outside of Cincinnati, Reds players and Reds fans knew full well how special he was. It is difficult to convince this group that there was ever a better centerfielder than the man they called "The Chief".

Mississippi quadruple homicide suspect in custody
Argument leads to club shooting, police say
Argument leads to club shooting, police say
A man suspected in connection with a quadruple homicide at a Yazoo City nightclub was arrested Monday by U.S. marshals, authorities said.
The Mississippi Bureau of Identification identified the accused shooter as Briddell Barber, 27, of Yazoo City. He was arrested at an undisclosed location, Jackson police said.
Briddell is accused in the shooting, which was reported about 1 a.m. Monday after an argument at the Club 66 nightclub on 11th Street, Yazoo City police said. The crime scene stretched around the corner to a house complex on Lindsey Lawn Drive.
Two of the men were pronounced dead at the scene, the Yazoo County coroner said. The other two wounded men were taken to a hospital, where they died.
"It's a big shock in Yazoo City," Chief Andre Lloyd said. "It's something that you hear from a bigger city. Now it's coming to a small town, so it's devastating to the people of Yazoo and all around here."
Names of the victims were not immediately released.
Barber is also charged in connection with a 2016 shooting at Club Teflon in Yazoo City that killed Justin "Butch" Porter, 25.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The Giant Sucking Sound You Hear Is Matt Brady
Despite your (Marvel's) intentions or lack thereof in regards to the now infamous Heroes for Hire #13 cover, which last week you made clear was not or intended to suggest "tentacle rape" [groan], when something like this is created that some people can and obviously have interrupted it as suggesting or too close for comfort to something like that, do you ever consider making a change in acknowledgement of those who are upset by it, even if it wasn't your intention?
Is that too slippery a slope to go down, to give in to public protest even when it wasn't intended to be what they're protesting?
Of course Joe responds with the "I'm sorry if you're upset for taking it the wrong way" non-apology favored by dicks everywhere, from your worst ex to the President, which is no surprise because Joe is a dick, in the business of selling crap comics* to other dicks. As long as he wants to keep prying money out of sexually-stunted losers' pockets, the last thing he can do is come out and admit it. Joe gets extra points for avoiding the actual point by arguing an extreme that no one else did:
I took every single exception that every single person had, regardless of ethnicity, gender, sexual preference, what have you, into account and decided to make sure I wasn't upsetting everyone of those applecarts, I wouldn't be able to ever publish another comic again.So it's obvious that Quesada can never listen to any complaint that anyone might ever have about any subject, no matter how justified, because it would mean the end of the entire comic industry. Why do you hate America so much, girls?
Anyway, that's Joe. But Brady, good God--I don't know why I think he should know better. He clearly knows what side his bread is buttered on. Still, it amazes me the depths to which he will sink in order to maintain his access, how far he goes beyond the call of duty to curry favor with these people. What kind of question is the above for anyone who professes to call himself a journalist, even if it's a journalist of superhero comic book companies? "Interrupted"? Brady can't even transcribe his own interview correctly? And how many times could he assert that Marvel clearly didn't intend anything suggestive by producing a cover featuring giant, veiny, cylindrical shapes dripping white goo on the hyper-inflated breasts of unconscious, chained-up women? Judy Miller was tougher on the Bush administration. These aren't even softballs; Brady is lovingly blowing clouds of dandelion seeds. He's an embarrassment. Why not ask Joe if these complainers are hurting America, or if people should pray for him in the face of his adversity?
*Ed Brubaker and Jeff Parker books being the exception to the rule
Like, if somebody say to me, "it would be better for you if you didn't eat cheeseburgers and fries for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day"
then according to Joe Q my response should be "if I listened to what everybody says I should and shouldn't eat, I'd never be able to eat nething again, and I'd STARVE"
Which is totally missing the point XD
There's a difference between listening to ppl and then deciding what are legitimate complaints and advice and what you should do about it, and just tuning them out. >.>;;
I get the feeling Joe Q is just tuning out the criticism completely. Listening doesn't NECCESARILY mean you have to follow what they tell you, but it does mean keeping an open mind. :\
Unfortunately, the Joey Qs of the comic book world refuse to make a distinction between the trivial and the non-trivial. To them, complaints about crass exploitation, racism and sexual violence are no different, and are to be treated no differently than complaints about the lineup of the Squadron Supreme.
I think one reason for this is that Marvel and DC have grown very good at servicing one particular kind of fan--the aging white male continuity freak--to the exclusion of all other audiences. At this point, catering to those fans' basest instincts and opening up to new readers *is* effectively mutually exclusive. While Joe will often pay lip service to attracting different kinds of readers, actions speak way louder than words. All he means whenever he says he would welcome more women readers is that women should learn to love exactly the kinds of comics he makes now. Cool girls would get the "joke". That he employs so many bad faith arguments tells me that he's not confused, he's sneering.
At the end of the day, Joe Quesada is the direct heir to original DC publisher Harry Donenfeld, who made his name selling racist, sexist exploitative pulp magazines like Spicy Detective. Comics have come full circle back to their soft-porn "smooshie" ancestors. I'm sure Joe is well aware of this. Yes, it is aggravating to see him pull a clearly disingenuous, smirking "Who, me?" routine like a low-rent Alberto Gonzales in front of Congress, with Brady playing the role of an obsequious, complaisant Fox News courtesan.
If an obvious tentacle rape "joke" on an all ages comic cover bothers you, Marvel doesn't want you as a fan, and they have a two-pronged strategy for disinviting you from their party. 1) they publish the comic and 2) they feign ignorance, blaming you simultaneously for having a sick mind and being such a tight ass.
Sure we'd all like to see some hard-hitting journalism, we'd like to see the hard questions asked (and hopefully answered). But it doesn't work that way. Joe doesn't HAVE to do these weekly interviews. And if Matt starts annoying the hell out of Joe with questions that he doesn't want to deal with, then that will be the end of Joe Fridays and it might end up being tougher for Matt to get interviews with other Marvel creators.
So there is a fine line he has to walk.
I listen to a lot of sports-talk radio (big sports fan ... plus the music scene lost my interest long ago so I really don't find a lot lot I consider 'listenable' on the radio) and they run into the same issues. I live in Houston so we've got local professional teams. The radio hosts interview the coaches/managers and GMs all the time. And yes, as a big sports fan there are questions I would like them to pose to those individuals - the hard questions that get discussed a lot on the radio by the hosts and call-in listeners ... but there is a fine line between what we all want those guys to answer and what the hosts can really put to them. Because again, if the hosts badger those guys enough on certain topics, then they will just stop doing the interviews. And then you've got nothing.
I'd rather have Joe Fridays with what we get currently than no Joe Fridays at all.
I wish Dan Didio would do a similar weekly interview as well.
Or, to put it another way: "do you think your relatively young defensive core hurt you against this more experienced team?" "No comment, but thanks for asking. Hey, same time next week?"
Well, same time next week for what? Not to sound overly dickish, but I don't see anything to value in Matt Brady's access to Quesada. It's really as though he has no access to him at all. Were it not for the fact that the whole charade makes me think less of both parties and their respective organizations it'd be cruising along at zero semantic content. Even "we played as hard as we could but still lost" has more meat to it.
I guess I sound a little angry. Sorry about that; too much coffee.
Whatever happened to "if you don't like it, don't look at it, and especially, don't buy it"?
Everyone is offended by everything these days, and, these days, everyone is assuming that when they are offended, they are also injured and/or damaged and therefore, the entity that has caused them offense is somehow obligated to provide a remedy for that offense. To, in the legal parlance, 'make them whole'.
I'm not wild about that cover, but, y'know, I wasn't wild about the first cover I ever saw on the new HEROES FOR HIRE series, where Colleen Wing and Misty Knight were walking around wearing, essentially, a layer of body paint each.
It bothered me, because I'm a fan of every predecessor title the current HEROES FOR HIRE has, and a fan of the characters in the current book since, I don't know, Chris Claremont's time (although I much preferred Jo Duffy's work on the strip) and those women simply would not have EVER appeared in public in those clothes.
But my response to things that offend me has never been to scream in outrage about how offended I am and how it is imperative that the universe immediately be altered to suit my own particular tastes and whims. I would have liked to support a title called HEROES FOR HIRE, I have found that I could not (for reasons I find much more meaningful than annoying covers, like, the writing sucks big hairy moose tentacle), and therefore, Marvel doesn't get my two bucks every month and I call that even.
It aggravated the jesus out of me when I didn't get to watch the first two episodes of NYPD BLUE because a local station director decided I shouldn't be able to see it. If I'm going to be aggravated when other people proscribe things that offend them, which do not offend me, then it seems to me that, if I'm going to think of myself as a reasonable and mature human being, I have to apply those same standards to myself.
So, yeah, that's a pretty gruesome cover, but, well, Marvel has a right to publish it, and my remedy is, I don't buy it.
It seems simple to me, but, well, maybe I'm just stupid.

Looking to strengthen the effectiveness of Nassau County's civic associations, four community leaders from Merrick, Manhasset, Seaford and Point Lookout have started a new "Coalition of Nassau Civic Associations" to replace the defunct "Nassau County Coalition of Civic Associations.
The coalition's founders each said they envision CONCA as a "resource hub" for member civic groups that could also address countywide civic issues. They stressed that CONCA will be a nonpartisan organization, though some differed when speaking about how much advocacy CONCA might engage in.
Richard Bentley, the Council of Greater Manhasset Civic Associations president and a CONCA founder, said the former NCCCA "seemed to be a lot of South Shore groups embroiled in Nassau County partisan politics."
"I was a proponent that [CONCA] shouldn't be involved for or against certain things," Bentley said. "Nassau County is already embroiled in politics enough. It should serve as a resource for civics, helping civics with best practices for getting your agenda across and through municipalities."
But Claudia Borecky, the North and Central Merrick Civic Association president and another CONCA founder, said she believed CONCA could advocate for issues on which members agreed.
"We can unite," Borecky said. "Take our success in banning hyrdrofracking [wastewater treatment] — we had civic leaders from all over Nassau going and visiting their legislators to say we can't have this in Nassau. It was one time that Nassau Democrats and Republicans agreed on something. Something is so much stronger when it comes from the whole county than just from one area.
"You lobby whoever has the authority and ability to make the change, whichever party the official is," Borecky continued. "As a coalition, we would have more success with the lobbying process than an individual person."

Journey's 'Any Way You Want It' Featured In New State Farm Ad
Journey's anthemic 1980 single 'Any Way You Want It' is featured in a new commercial from State Farm insurance.
As with the Queen 'Bohemian Rhapsody' commercial that recently turned up on the airwaves, the spoken lyrics crop up before the actual song in this spot. We open as a client and a State Farm rep are conversing, with the rep telling his customer 'we're here, anytime, anywhere, anyway you want it,' to which the stone faced customer replies, 'that's the way I need it.'
After a brief exchange, the customer says 'we just had ourselves a little Journey moment there' before going on to mention that he 'saw them in Fresno in '83' and that 'the place was crawling with chicks.'
The actual Journey recording kicks in with around ten seconds to spare. Though we must say this is one of the more clever uses of a classic rock motif in an ad, it's not nearly as memorable as the use of the same song in the movie Caddyshack. Then again, without Rodney Dangerfield, what do you expect!

Department of Physics
The study of physics is the study of some of creation's most inscrutable mysteries. Scripture tells us we are "fearfully and wonderfully" made. And few know that better than a physicist! Pretty deep language for something that absolutely rules everyone's daily life (like the fact we walk on the ground rather than float hither and yon…). At Lipscomb, you'll study the laws of physics with a high regard for the creation's God-given wonder, complexity, and amazing power.
Led by a nationally recognized physicist who maintains a research program at the university, the Department of Physics at Lipscomb offers degrees that can launch you into engineering, biomedical physics, teaching and a range of other scientific and technical professions. Through the years, the department's reputation for graduating well-prepared students has been…anything but theoretical. So chances are you already know something of string theory, game theory, condensed matter, particle attractions and more. It's the "and more" we have ready and waiting for you.

Ozzy Osbourne Joined Onstage by Slash + Zakk Wylde in Oslo
There's plenty of Ozzy Osbourne and his friends to go around. Yet another batch of clips from the group's performances in Europe has surfaced online, this time from the May 31 show at the Spektrum in Oslo, Norway. Slash and Zakk Wylde were the featured guests – what a helluva guitarist line up that is! Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler was also on hand.
As you are well aware, especially if you are following our coverage of the Ozzy & Friends tour, Black Sabbath were forced to table their European tour plans when guitarist Tony Iommi was diagnosed with lymphoma, limiting his ability to be on the road. Ozzy decide to tour with his famous and talented friends so as not to disappoint fans.
Slash took up his axe for a trifecta of Sabbath tunes – 'Iron Man,' 'War Pigs' and 'N.I.B.,' which also featured Butler — while the Wylde Man hit the stage for a duo of Sabbath songs in the form 'Fairies Wear Boots' and 'Into the Void.' Butler was involved and played on all Sabbath songs.
Wylde remained onstage for Ozzy tunes, like 'I Don't Want to Change the World,' 'Crazy Tain' and 'Mama, I'm Coming Home.'
Slash, Wylde and Butler all appeared on 'Paranoid.'
The set lists have been pretty much the same, but these all-star jams are worth watching every single time. Check out the Bergen, Norway footage here. Want more? Go here for the Sweden show. Still not enough? The Finnish footage is here.

Taji, Iraq — The Warrior Tours visited seven U.S. military bases in the Middle East last month as part of its week-long tour to promote running and physical fitness during the semi-annual Armed Forces Physical Fitness Test.
One race scheduled at Camp Speicher in Tikrit, Iraq, was cancelled because of a local sand storm, but the tour members offered tips to soldiers at the base fitness facilities and visited with recently wounded Purple Heart recipients instead.
The Warrior Tours included special appearances by NASA astronaut Sandra Magnus, Olympic marathon gold medalist Frank Shorter, and internationally renowned runner and author Bart Yasso.
"Fitness is very important, and I enjoy running myself as a way to stay fit," Magnus said in a NASA release. "Without the sacrifices our military people make to keep our country free, we in the space business would not be able to focus on moving our country forward in new directions. I am very excited to have the opportunity to share my spaceflight experiences with them."
Magnus served as a flight engineer on Expedition 18 and spent 128 days on the International Space Station. In space, she exercised for up to two hours a day using a specially designed treadmill with elastic cords to hold her down in the absence of gravity. The space station also is equipped with a cycle ergometer and a resistive exercise device for crew members, per NASA.
Organizers of more than 30 U.S. running events donated race shirts, medals and more for distribution at the tour events. At each stop, troops participated in running events with entertainment by Catchpenny, Armed Forces Entertainers of the year.
"Our troops work so hard defending our freedom, and this is just a small way for us to thank them and support them in their annual testing," Rob Powers, founder of The Warrior Tours, said in a statement.

Yeah, but for some reason, the NTR element is going to be a long, undercurrent attached from here on until the end when Felix finally gets his hands on Diha.

Well technically it isn't NTR, because the Female got to have some awareness of what she is doing behind the Protagonist back. Also NTR is related when they are seduce, since Felicia lost her memory she wasn't seduce more like altered. Anyhow, what will interest me is when the halves meet each each. Both Light and Dark, don't remember their memories. My guess is the light one is going to remember when she meets Felix since she remember she had a child. Also the topic about NTR is so crazy, still to this day I wonder who came up with that Genre and surprise Japanese Women are letting it slide. Since most Japanese women in studies pretty much run their households. Its either Japanese or Chinese who are the reason why the term "Tiger mom" came into existence. Another thing is why must they put it in real series, fans of works reading NTR is like a mind blower to them.

Sorry guys but are there any news about the restart of series in Korea?I have read lots of works from this author but I can't understand why he always starts a new work while having a popular series on the go.I mean look at Unbalance x Unbalance it was going pretty well then suddenly on hiatus causing its popularity to suffer.I mean is it worth it to pause an already popular series to start a new one with the risk of whether or not it becomes as successful as the previous one.

Well, I just think it's a shame. That incredibly derailing work ethic of IDY in regards to always starting new projects and letting his other works hit hiatus only for them to later resume in rushed, **** endings; it's truly a shame as that's as constant of his works as his protagonists are weaklings (and female protagonists busty).
The thing with him is, at the end of the day you know what his stories are about (as an aside, you can count the fetishes he'll recur to), you know how they're gonna stall, and, finally, you -sadly- know how awfully **** they're gonna end. Do I wanna see how Legend of Maian is gonna end? well, I am hooked so no matter what I say I will check the ending (even though I'm 100% sure it will piss me off ), would I read or recommend any of his other works? not a cat in hell's chance, in fact if you're new and thinking of getting into it you're getting just getting into a world of disappointment run away!

so confused about the slap..
So I have a question so after the time skip why was ruby smacked? Ive been trying to figure this out, did i miss something in reading somewhere that Felix has a split-personality disorder now or was he actually trying to hide the fact about being the descendant. Im actually a little confused can someone clarify I know that felisha had been split in two it seems. but did something happen to felix so can someone clarify?? god I havent been on here since 2006.....

and about that "light felicia" is she married to another man?
do you have hints that Felix and Felicia will be reunited?
I really hate how IDY makes me stick to his work's charm but then leaving me devastated in the end( but I guess it's my fault for patronizing him)
like for example, re birth lunatic taker, I was soooo sad about the ending..
and koimoku, I thought the red haired girl and the MC will end up together and then suddenly in just 2-4 chapters, he ended up with another girl......
the only good ending I've read from IDY so far was Onihime Vs. but still no closure for MCs' relationship..
oh My gawd I hope he doesn't do the same with Freezing
I might just read the LN when it's done so you can warn me guys if there's goin to be alot of dissappointments also, please tell what parts that has NTR/beating ruby in it so I can avoid it lels
anyways, can you recommend me some manga/manhwa similar to this but has good ending, I prefer it to be short
again any hints that Felix and Felicia will be reunited, I highly doubt that Felicia just let herself be NTR'd like that. I mean, she loved Felix so much, I bet she's up to something

i believe that felix would die and then felicia would be sealed again to wait for felix's reincarnation and then the "new" felix would release her and they would be happy forever.
and how felix would die >>> ,felix will fight against his son and then in the final battle felix would save his son(from mind control or just would show him proof that he is he father and thus saving him but he would die from the wounds and thus reincarnation like i said before).

Touhou (東方) Themes // Remixes
About Touhou
The Touhou Project is a series of 2D vertically-scrolling danmaku shooting games made by Team Shanghai Alice, with two fighting game spinoffs co-produced with Tasogare Frontier. They are similar to regular shooting games, but focus more on weaving through complex patterns containing anywhere from dozens to hundreds of bullets. Every game in the Touhou series is set in the fantasy land of Gensokyo, and the series is known for its huge cast of characters, well-developed storylines, and related materials such as music CDs and fan-made comics.
About the Music
As mentioned above, Touhou has gained a lot of popularity via its soundtrack, and that's what this topic is going to focus on. Many people are likely aware of IOSYS, a group that has obtained memetic popularity by doing covers of Touhou related music. Well, IOSYS isn't the only group to do such things - there are many other notable groups, a few of them being ALiCE'S EMOTiON, COOL&CREATE, CROW'SCLAW, EastNewSound, Innocent Key and many, many others.
About this Topic
Originally, I started a topic for Flandre's theme (U.N. Owen Was Her?) over here, and shortly after, I realized that we'd likely be better off with a topic dedicated to Touhou mixes entirely. Eventually, herbert suggested the same, and this topic came to life. The whole first paragraph (About Touhou) was taken from Touhou Wiki.

Biased toward Demetori stuff
Their main stuff is metal, the instrumental kind and they do it good.
However, their acoustic is equally good:
Otherwise, I'd suggest WAVE. They touch on diverse genres but their most oustanding efforts are in the chorus + orchestral style, case in point, Yamaxanadu's theme:
Their take on Yuyuko's theme, Border of Life, is E.P.I.C.

Alright, I've already made MULTIPLE complaints about SOUND HOLIC, but they need to get someone who can actually write stuff in proper english, and someone who can sing in english. The nigh-decipherable engrish (at least if you didn't have access to the lyrics) was a sore point in what were otherwise great eurobeat mixes of themes.
EDIT: I referring to specific remixes by SOUND HOLIC, NOT all of their tracks.

Buying A Used Transfer-Case Or TransmissionPosted in How To: Transmission Drivetrain on April 24, 2014
Buying a used T-case or transmission is kind of like buying a used Jeep -- only when buying a whole used Jeep, a lot more bad stuff can be hidden by a deceitful seller. That's not to say that T-cases can't be made to look better than they are, but generally no one's gonna retire in the Bahamas by scamming people with dubious used T-cases. The fact is that if a transmission or T-case turns and shifts and doesn't have any weird leaks or a cracked housing, it's probably alright and at worst may need a rebuild. If it's cracked in half, it's probably good for nothing other than a few possibly salvageable internal parts. As with anything, you need to know what you are looking at and what you are looking for. We have been playing with transmissions and T-cases for a long time, and we have a fair idea of that to look for when buying a new to you used gearbox.
Unfortunately, even cast iron T-case housings can crack. The other problem is that it is often difficult to see the cracks until after you've torn the case apart and cleaned it up. If that happens to you, know we feel your pain. Some day we may tell you how many times we've gotten either half way, or completely through, rebuilding a T-case before we noticed a crack. When looking at a either a T-case or transmission, keep your eyes peeled for cracks and odd leaks.

The "fiscal cliff" may seem like an abstract political argument, but it could have a direct impact on income taxes paid by Maine homeowners.
Among the items under discussion as legislators try to avert the automatic spending cuts and tax increases set to take effect Jan. 1 is the mortgage-interest deduction. The tax break allows homeowners to deduct interest paid on mortgages up to $1 million for a first or second home, as well as interest on home equity loans up to $100,000.
Realtors say eliminating the tax deduction could have a huge effect on the housing market in Maine, which has the nation's highest percentage of vacation homes.
"My buyers do calculate that savings into the equation. They don't buy a home because of it, but it's important to them," said Tina Lucas, president of the Maine Association of Realtors. "We're just having this seedling of growth. This is the worst time to be talking about taking it away."
It's still unclear whether reducing the mortgage-interest deduction, which saved taxpayers more than $80 billion in 2010, will be part of a fiscal cliff deal. Nor is it clear what the details of any reduction might look like. Both political parties have stayed away from discussing specific proposals to eliminate or reduce the deductions.
Without a specific proposal on the table — and with fiscal cliff negotiations occurring privately among congressional leaders — Maine's two Republican senators were unwilling Thursday to comment specifically on whether the mortgage-interest deduction should be reduced.
"It would be premature for Senator Collins to comment because we still don't know what will eventually be in a comprehensive package," said Kevin Kelley, spokesman for Sen. Susan Collins. "But she does believe that Congress should tackle comprehensive tax reform. The goal of reform should be a simpler, fairer, pro-growth tax system to encourage economic growth."
Sen. Olympia Snowe, who will retire from Congress in January, said it was "regrettable that the Congress has systematically failed to engage in comprehensive tax reform, as I have been arguing for over the past four years."
"As such, leaders in Washington have a mere 32 days to avert the coming fiscal crisis," Snowe said in a written statement. "I will thoroughly review the final plan that emerges from ongoing negotiations, including any proposed changes to the home mortgage deduction, and I urge those crafting a compromise plan to do so as expeditiously as possible to provide much-needed certainty to our nation's taxpayers and businesses."
Proposals to eliminate mortgage-interest deductions have come up before. Three years ago, the Congressional Budget Office proposed reducing the maximum mortgage cap for a deduction gradually over 10 years, to $500,000.
Opponents of the deduction contend that it largely benefits wealthier individuals who can afford to buy big homes with large mortgages, and that it fails to help lower-income families who can't afford to buy a house or who are less likely to itemize deductions on their taxes.
Supporters, however, say the tax break encourages home ownership and gives a break to buyers, who then can pour that money into the economy in other ways.
The amount of the deduction varies. Assuming a homeowner purchases a house in Maine at the state median price of $170,500 with a 20 percent down payment, the mortgage loan would total $136,400. At an annual percentage rate of 3.75 percent, the mortgage would generate $5,072 in interest in the first year. That amount could be deducted from adjusted gross income before the income is taxed. The amount of interest owed decreases annually over the term of the mortgage.
Despite Maine's relatively low household income compared with the nation as a whole, the state's rate of home ownership is 73.1 percent, outpacing the national rate of 66.6 percent, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The median household income in Maine from 2006 through 2010 was $46,933, below the national median income of $51,914, according to the Census Bureau.
Talk of changing the tax deduction comes after sales of existing single-family homes in Maine surged 24.55 percent in October from the same month last year, driven by pent-up demand, low interest rates and modest prices. The jump in Maine outpaced the 9.6 percent gain nationally in sales of single-family existing homes during the same period.
Realtors and home builders said they fear any reduction in the mortgage-interest deduction would put a chill on the housing market just as it starts to show signs of recovery.
"It will affect new home construction as demand falls, it will hurt current homeowners who use that money for remodeling, buying appliances or paying off debts. It's going to affect the overall economy of the middle-class buyer," said Ronald Boutet, a developer of the Dunegrass golf and condominium development in Old Orchard Beach.
"It's scary for young people," Boutet said. "When you start taking away deductions, it takes away money that you'd have to pay for other things like education for your children."
One possible scenario is the elimination of the tax deduction for second homes. That would also have a drastic effect in Maine because vacation homes are a crucial part of Maine's economy, real estate executives said.
"When you consider a person has a choice, they'll most likely rent rather than buy if they don't have a purchase incentive," Boutet said.
At 17.2 percent, Maine leads the nation in vacation homes or homes owned for seasonal, recreation or occasional use, according to the Census Bureau.
"People think of second homes and they think oceanfront escape. But in Maine, second homes are small camps or cottages," said Lucas, of the Maine Association of Realtors. "Most of the second homeowners in Maine are Mainers. The conversation is being framed as helping only the wealthy, but it helps average Maine families."
Anthony Randazzo, director of economic research at the Reason Foundation, said the mortgage-interest deduction benefits wealthier Americans with annual salaries of more than $100,000 a year.
For example, taxpayers saved $83 billion by using the mortgage-interest deduction in 2010. Of that, $64.7 billion went to those making $100,000 or more, Randazzo said.
"Why even have it in the first place?" he said. "Politicians say it supports home ownership. But it's not going to be the determining factor on them purchasing a home — maybe a bigger home — but it's not going to determine whether they can buy a home at all."

Purpose: Diagnostic accuracy of a genetic test involving multiple disease genes is evaluated using sensitivity and specificity. For estimation data from affected and unaffected subjects are required. For early onset diseases such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) only data from families with affected offspring is available. We developed a novel approach for evaluating clinical validity in affected offspring families based on a risk score (RS) and illustrate it by combining information from four genes for risk assessment of ASD. We compare the new RS with standard approaches.
Methods: A Monte-Carlo simulation study was conducted for demonstrating the validity of the novel method for specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratios and the area under the curve. A varying number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was used in the genetic profile and two different scenarios for the genetic model. The approach is illustrated using families from the Autism Genetic Resource Exchange repository involving four SNPs from four genes.
Results: The novel approach for estimating specificity and the ROC curve from affected offspring families is valid. Analogously to other approaches utilizing pseudocontrols, estimates were slightly conservative. In the application, the increase per risk allele was 1.35 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.16-1.58) for autism spectrum disorder, and the AUC was 0.59 (95% CI: 0.57-0.61).
Conclusions: The novel approach is appropriate for estimating measures of diagnostic accuracy from affected offspring families. Slightly conservative results can be expected.

Archer Daniels Midland (NYSE:ADM) sweetened its bid for Australia's GrainCorp by 3.4% to $2.9 billion on Monday as it looks to secure an acquisition that would significantly enhance its global footprint.
The Decatur, Ill.-based commodities manufacturer lifted its bid to A$12.20 ($12.73) a share from an earlier A$11.75. Including GrainCorp's recently announced dividend of 35 cents a share, ADM's per-share bid is valued at A$12.55.
Continue Reading Below
The maker of vegetable oil, corn sweeteners and flour said the improved offer better values GrainCorp's business when taking into account its 2012 results as well as new strategic initiatives and dividends.
"Our proposal also offers more certainty, greater value and immediate realization of potential future value for GrainCorp shareholders than GrainCorp's stand-alone plan," ADM CEO Patricia Woertz said in a statement.
ADM first offered to buy GrainCorp for A$11.75 on Oct. 19 after acquiring a 15% stake in the company. However, GrainCorp, having reported a 19% increase in full-year profit the same day following a strong harvest, rejected the offer, saying it materially undervalued the company.
While the initial bid represented a premium of 33% to ADM's share price the day before talks were made public, the sweetened offer represents a premium of 39.6%. Along with the revised bid, which ADM said remains subject to due diligence, the company upped its stake in GrainCorp another 5% to 19.9%.
The takeover would come at a time when the global grains sector continues to consolidate and competition intensifies.

One thing is becoming clear – Eastern Mennonite's men like to play on their own turf. Wednesday night they welcomed a talented Hampden-Sydney squad to Harrisonburg and scored two second-half goals to win 2-1 and improve to 5-1 at home.
The game was light on shots in the opening minutes as the teams established the flow of play. Starting in the 14th minute, the Royals started to take over and fired five shots in the span of four minutes. Caleb Golladay (Mt. Jackson, VA/Stonewall Jackson) put a pair on goal and the men had a few looks sail wide off breakaways.
After play evened out, Hampden-Sydney struck first in the 36th minute. Chris Whiteside sent a long pass ahead to Tiger teammate James Lawrence. As EMU's defense stuttered and hoped for an offsides call, Lawrence punched in the shot for a 1-0 lead.
The Royals nearly got an equalizer in the closing seconds of the half, as Jordan Hollinger (Lancaster, PA/Lancaster Mennonite) zipped a shot past HSC's keeper, but it sailed inches wide of the goal.
After a quiet start to the second half, Barkot Akalu (Addis Abeba, Ethiopia/Lycee Guebre Mariam) triggered an explosion in the 67th minute. The speedy forward made a move at the top of the box and fired a shot which went through the keepers hands and tied the score.
Less than two minutes later, the Royals took the lead. With a mess of players in the box, Mitchell Leap (Harrisonburg, VA/Eastern Mennonite) shot a loose ball which Muoka Musau (Ashburn, VA/Stone Bridge) deflected into the net with his heel.
With 22 minutes still to go, EMU had some time to hold off the Tigers. The defensive line did well to bend and then send back long clears, while the offense dribbled off the clock. A hustling Brendan Jeschke (Vienna, VA/James Madison) nearly scored in the final minute, but the men settled for the 2-1 win.
Eastern Mennonite had a 22-12 edge in shots, including 10-4 on goal. Patrick Fox (Virginia Beach, VA/Kempsville) played all 90 minutes in goal and collected three saves.
The Royals improve to 6-6-1 with the win. More importantly, they tightened their grip on second place in the ODAC standings with a 4-1 mark. Next up is a date at Guilford this Friday, which is 2-2 in the league after a win 2-0 win over Virginia Wesleyan Tuesday.

When Borders closed more than two years ago at 8501 Germantown Ave., where the bookstore served as an anchor and drew many consumers from out of town to the commercial corridor, the realities of the slumping economy arrived in Chestnut Hill.
Even before that, the signs pointed towards trouble, when a year earlier Magarity Ford closed its doors at 8200 Germantown Ave. after two decades of successful business. Plans for the development of a grocery and other residential and retail space by Bowman Properties have since been approved at that location.
The closures sparked the Chestnut Hill Business Improvement District (BID) to create a position its members had discussed before the downturn, that of retail recruiter. Shortly after Borders closed, members of the BID hired Chestnut Hill resident Eileen Reilly to serve as Chestnut Hill's inaugural retail recruiter.
Last Monday, Laurie Wightman started her term as Chestnut Hill's second retail recruiter, with Reilly remaining onboard as a consultant. During Reilly's term, vacancies dropped by about 20 percent. There are approximately 125 retail spaces along the Avenue, with about a 12 percent vacancy rate, according to Wightman.
"One of the biggest parts of this job is building relationships," Wightman said.
Wightman spent her first week on the job meeting the business owners along Germantown Avenue, as well as meeting various landlords and Chestnut Hill marketing representatives.
It's those relationships in Chestnut Hill and beyond that Wightman will lean on to attract the right retailers to the Avenue. To accomplish that goal, Wightman plans to travel to various Main Streets and commercial corridors across the Tri-State area.
She'll work to develop relationships with business owners at those marketplaces and to establish herself as a learned, credible and trusted representative of Chestnut Hill. Her selling point is steeped in her sentiment that Chestnut Hill is the quintessential Philadelphia neighborhood.
"It's like a little jewel box filled with charm and allure that many Main Streets don't have," Wightman said.
She'll try to convince potential retailers that Chestnut Hill is a unique, affluent community filled with residents dedicated to supporting independent retailers. And she'll likely cite a 2007 Forbes Magazine article that listed the neighborhood "famous for its cobblestone streets, stately colonial-style townhouses and upscale restaurants and cafes," as one of the top urban enclaves in America, to support her claims.
But Wightman is poised to face some obstacles, as a number of the current vacant spaces are large and expensive to rent, according to Reilly. Like the site of the former Children's Place, a 5,000-square-foot space at 8512 Germantown Ave. that closed in 2011, where it operated for more than a decade.
A need for children's, men's and women's apparel retail seemed to be echoed by many Avenue business owners with whom Wightman visited last week, a visit-trail she'll continue to walk this week.
She'll also be challenged to attract businesses for locations zoned for specific businesses, meaning retail in areas zoned for retail, and restaurants in locations zoned for restaurants.
Some specific ideas she's envisioned include a tapas bar, live-music, a high-end deli, similar to the Italian Market's Di Bruno Brothers, and family-style restaurants. And there's the vision for a speakeasy in the basement location underneath Starbucks at 8515 Germantown Ave. that has remained vacant for almost 20 years.
Wightman, 34, developed an affinity for Chestnut Hill as a girl from Maple Glen who visited the town with her family for shopping and holiday dinners at restaurants.
The process that culminated in her hiring started last year, when Wightman called Reilly about opening her own high-end home furnishing shop on the avenue. When that project petered out, and Reilly decided the end of her term was near, she suggested Wightman might be the perfect candidate to replace her.
Reilly herself has plans to develop an online marketing company. She recalled her biggest obstacles as recruiter were managing her own expectations. She wanted things to happen faster than they did.
"I want her to be aggressive," Reilly said, "kind of like keep her eyes on the prize and relentlessly pursue. It's hard."
For example, if Reilly wanted to speak with Iron Hill Brewery decision maker Kevin Finn, the process required more work than simply walking in to the brewery at 8400 Germantown Ave. First one had to speak with the managers and hope one's message was passed on.
Reilly also explained that local landlords are flexible and generally excited about attracting new tenants.
Wightman attended Upper Dublin High School (Class of '95) and graduated from Penn State University in 1999 with a degree in journalism. She spent most of her career in advertising and marketing in the publishing industry in New York City, where she worked for Martha Stewart Living, U.S. News and World Report and Entertainment Weekly.
She moved back to the Philadelphia area three years ago because she wanted to give home a try again, she explained. She lives in Maple Glen and allegedly plans to move to Chestnut Hill.
She said one of the biggest obstacles she'll be faced with is convincing business owners that even though they will be operating in Philadelphia, and thus subjected to higher taxes, operating a business in an affluent neighborhood steeped in community support is an opportunity to be capitalized upon.

Several people who work for "The Tonight Show" and NBC have united on the social networking site and changed their picture to an Obama-esque image of O'Brien that features the words, "I'm With COCO."
The COCO craze is already spreading like wildfire on FB -- and according to the guy who created the artwork, Mike Mitchell, the image has already been seen by Conan himself.
So far ... no sighting of any "I'm with Chin" or "I Heart Peacock" artwork floating around.

Hi, I'm moving to San Francisco from Boston very soon, and was wondering about normal weather conditions on the bay. I'm 190lb, ride a 136cm board on 12m Convert and 9m Crossbow.
* Will that cover the expected wind range, or should I look into getting a smaller kite like a 7m?
* If I were to get another larger kite (tired of convert), would you recommend a 13m or an 11m?
Thanks guys.

Wall Street is certainly weary of the haggling in Washington over the nation's debt ceiling and spending habits. But Deutsche Bank's (NYSE:DB) top U.S. analysts say it could actually be a buying opportunity.
Continue Reading Below
The trading community didn't get much of a chance to enjoy New Year's 2013 festivities, with Congress literally waiting to the last second, and then some, to pass legislation to avert the fiscal cliff. The move ignited a big rally that sent the U.S. market surging to five-year highs. But it also set the stage for a lot more fighting on Capitol Hill.
The deal left two big issues unaddressed: the sequester and the debt limit. The former is a series of arbitrary spending cuts to defense and non-defense programs aimed at slashing the federal deficit by $1.2 trillion through 2021. It was initially set to be triggered in early January, but was pushed back to March as part of the fiscal deal.
If either an agreement can't be forged, or a deal involves big spending cuts, it could lead to a situation called fiscal drag. That is to say a big negative shock to government spending is likely to chomp away at U.S. gross domestic product. As it is, the economy grew at a fairly sluggish pace of 3.1% in the third quarter, according to the Commerce Department. Deutsche forecasts expansion to have slowed down to 1.3% by the fourth quarter and then speed up slightly to 1.5% in the first three months of 2013.
The government's actions, or lack thereof, are beginning to hit the economy already. The fiscal cliff deal failed to extend the payroll tax holiday, meaning every American making an income started seeing a smaller paycheck this month.
Joseph LaVorgna, Deutsche Bank's chief U.S. economist, said at a press conference at the German bank's U.S. headquarters on Wall Street that the effects are difficult to exactly quantify. However, he reckons disposable incomes will likely take a $120 billion hit.
The scarier specter for trading desks is the debt ceiling. The U.S. has already technically hit its borrowing limit, which has forced the Treasury Department to take what it calls "extraordinary measures" to fund government activities. That is because the government pays for a large portion of its expenses through borrowing, since spending exceeds tax revenues.
In fact, as of Monday, U.S. public debt stood at $16.4 trillion, $11.6 trillion of which was held by the public, according to Treasury. If the $16.394 trillion debt limit isn't raised, Treasury will literally run out of money to pay its bills. Economists expect that day to come around February or March (Deutsche sees it happening in early March).
The consequences of not hiking the limit could be disastrous. The government eventually wouldn't be able to pay active-service military members, Social Security beneficiaries, Medicare recipients, among a slew of other obligations. However, the biggest hit from a financial perspective would likely be if the U.S. missed an interest payment on its bonds.
Issuing Treasury bills and notes is the way the U.S. borrows on public markets. Treasury bonds are seen as some of the safest investments money can buy. That's part of the reason why the government only has to pay a yield of 1.855% to borrow for a decade.
If the U.S. missed an interest payment, however, it would be tantamount to a default – an unprecedented event for America. Many economists believe such an event would spark a financial crisis far worse than the collapse of Lehman Brothers that nearly toppled the financial system.
The thought that Congress is tasked with avoiding such an event is downright frightening. But Deutsche's top U.S. equity strategist, David Bianco, thinks it may actually be a buying opportunity.
He said at the press conference in New York that recent history has shown that it makes sense to "buy the calendar-date risk." That is to say market participants tend to get skittish leading up to specific dates when certain items will be triggered, leading to intense short-run volatility, but usually followed by big rallies.
For example, fiscal cliff fears sent the broad S&P 500 tumbling close to 3% in a year-end rout last year. The CBOE's VIX, seen as Wall Street's fear gauge, surged 31.5% during that selloff. However, after the New Year's deal was announced, the S&P 500 soared 4.6% in its best week since December 2011. The VIX, meanwhile, has plunged some 36% since its recent highs.
The same general model could have been applied to the last debt ceiling debate during the summer of 2011. The markets crumbled as the U.S. came to the brink of default and saw Standard & Poor's yank away its pristine "AAA" credit rating. However, Wall Street made up for lost ground and started climbing again in about a six-month timeframe. While a six-month recovery isn't short, it is shallow compared to longer-term crises not triggered by calendar-date events.
Still, Bianco said the debt debate is likely to limit the S&P 500 to the 1500 range for the time being. His year-end target is 1575. He recommended being cautious about defense and health-care stocks for the time being, because they would likely be the first hit by any potential spending cuts.
LaVorgna echoed Bianco's cautiously optimistic sentiment, questioning whether "we've gotten too pessimistic" about Congress. He said there could actually be an upside risk that Congress does actually manage to cobble together a deal and at least temporarily halt the acrimony that has been a Beltway hallmark recently.
