Space Baby`s Releases
sbcd 005
Alienapia - Goapocalipsis (Digipack CD)
Release date: 02/2010 (Space Baby Records)
Genre: Goa Trance
We are living on the "Earth" where the universe shows us its full and diverse variety. Every man's sight and breath of eternal space let's us feel the global harmony and flow of timeless consciousness. The vibration of universal unity and beauty originated from this unlimited space - The Sound was born. Everyone entered the whole ensemble, transformed themselves and united into the one living thing. Goa trance is a life philosophy which brings a state to the soul that gives f-r-e-e-d-o-m. There are sounds that dive through the universe making its every atom vibrate. It's like a mountain river - dangerous with its cold streaming flow and waterfalls but at the same time saving a traveller dying of thirst with its vital nutrients. This is the light, nobody and nothing can hide from. This is the darkness which can save the important presence of someone. The endless carousel ride. This is the world, where everything is possible! Do you feel fresh goa-wind? It's the breath of Alienapia with its music that will turn you full emotionally filled with the fine combination of powerful rush and melodic modulations. Energy, agressive dance grooves are not in conflict with the inner calm and hidden sentimentality which belongs to Alienapia debut album !
Kyoto - Forest Trip (CD)
Release date: 11/2009 (Space Baby Records 2009)
Genre: Psychill
Kyoto (the real name is Vitaly Zenkov) was born on February 8, 1981 in Samara, Russia. Kyoto is a Russian musician and DJ working in ambient and psychill styles. His choice of profession was largely determined by his music tastes. When a student he would listen to Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream later added by electronic projects. Already at the age of 18 Vitaly tries his hands at music playing the solo guitar in a rock group and combining acoustic and electronic music. In 2004 Vitaly makes his own electronic project which still exists. Experimenting with various music instruments KYOTO is finding his own electronic sound somewhere between the psytrance, ambient and world music. Though influenced by various trends, his music retains its intrinsic and well thought out ideas focused on the infinite search of infinite spaces. Working in a small studio equipped with a computer and a Cubase sequencer and using both electronic (synthesizers, midi-keyboards, effect processors) and acoustic instruments, he managed to create a very distinctive sound which makes his project quite ingenious in its sounding. Kyoto's works are actually a calm and soothing landscape ambient predominantly shaped by massive tonal patterns and recurring music themes interspersed with multiply reflected high frequency and mid-range samples and a vocal. Occasionally the compositions have trance rhythm structures naturally interwoven with the main ambient substrate. At present Kyoto is performing both as a musician and a DJ.
sbcd 002
VA - Magic Dew (Digipack CD)
Release date: 11/2009 (Space Baby Records 2009)
Genre: Psy trance
"This compilation has been gathered by best friends. These tracks were written with the emotion & energy created by a magical festival among the Crimea forests and mountains. The power of Crimea's nature opened and cleared the mind and soul of everyone. Each track has been permeated by the mystery of the Ivan Kupala celebration. A celebration of other worldly dimensions & atmospheres. A gathering that revealed the magic among forest spirits and mermaids, transformations and truth, sky and freedom. You will feel the goa /forest psy / suomi vibrations that were played during the festival. The emotions in which this recording was made. Tracks from artists like *Space Baby* will give you the present of pureness that one can obtain only by touching the water on an Ivan Kupala night."
sbcd 001
VA – Shamanisma (Double CD)
Release date: 9/2008 (Space Baby Records 2008)
Genre: Psy trance / Psychill
This compilation consists of two CDs, each representing one of two ideals: it displays the cosmic and the shamanic perception of reality. Every note of this magic music brings you into trance meditation of the full moon and the sunlight at the same time. The first CD is a morning dance of elves among sounds of goa / suomi / morning psy. This is the shaman's sound like a game between light and shadows among sun beams that are making their way through the tops of trees. The second CD brings you a magic dance of dreaming butterflies, which are flying among the petals of the flower fields with sounds of dub / ethnic / down tempo and other chill out music, which are flying away to the sky. The disk design is done by a guy from Crimea - Stokya, using the pictures of their favorite artists and friends - Shivanebula and her father. She and Iri (Euphoria) created a poet intro into for each disk ! This compilation is mastered by our russian friends Gosha aka Pan Psychic and Sun Station.

Former Clemson standout Matt Hendrix took the lead in the second round Wednesday at the eGolf Tour's Palmetto Hall Championship on Hilton Head Island, shooting 5-under par 67 to reach 9 under entering the weekend.
Hilton Head resident Chris Epperson also shot 67 to move into second place at 8 under.
Hendrix, an Aiken native, put himself in good position Thursday, posting a first-round 68 to sit tied for fourth. he came alive Friday with six birdies against a lone bogey to move one shot clear of the field.
Hendrix is making his first tour start since he played his way onto the Web.com Tour in spring 2011.
Once a young gun on a regional developmental tour, Hendrix joked about playing partners Brad Benjamin of Okatie and Will Golden - both in their early-to-mid 20s - and how he felt like the old man in the group.
"We're sitting on a tee box, and construction workers nearby are blasting a classic Journey song," said Hendrix, 32. "I turned to them and said, 'You've got to love Journey.'
"They both looked at me funny and said they'd never heard of Journey. I think that's when it hit me."
Epperson is coming off of a career year on the eGolf Tour, where he finished third on the money list with $74,577 in earnings - thanks in part to a 14 top-12 finishes in 17 starts.
Jesse Smith of Dover, N.H., is in solo third place after posting rounds of 70-67-137 to reach 7 under par. Benjamin is tied for 21st at 3 under.
The 36-hole cut fell at 2-over 146, with 77 players making it through to the final 36 holes of play.
Third-round play will begin at 8 a.m. Saturday on the Cupp Course. The tournament is open to the public and free of charge.

Parachinar, Pakistan: A bomb planted near a market in northwestern Pakistan killed 10 people and wounded 23 others Friday, the latest in an uptick in attacks in recent months, government officials said.
The blast occurred in Kalaya, the main town in the Orakzai tribal area, said local government administrator Khaistan Akbar. Orakzai is one of several areas in the semiautonomous tribal region along the Afghan border where the military has been battling a domestic Taliban insurgency.
No group has claimed responsibility for the latest bombing, but Taliban militants regularly target security forces and civilians in the area.
The blast occurred near government and security offices, according to another local administrator, Javed Khan. It damaged one of the shops in the market. Some of the wounded were in critical condition, he said.
The military has launched multiple operations against the Pakistani Taliban in the northwest since 2009, but the militant have proved resilient and continue to carry out attacks.

U.S. Rep. Mark Schauer (D-Mich.) and Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chair James L. Oberstar (D-Minn.) called for an investigation into the way Enbridge is handling damage claims by spill victims.
The committee has discovered evidence that Enbridge is asking residents to waive legal rights to seek further compensation in exchange for small cash disbursements or items such as air purifiers. The committee also found that those seeking medical treatment for health problems related to the spill have been pressured to sign over medical records to the oil company.
Oberstar and Schauer sent letters to the Department of Justice, the Department of Health and Human Services, and Enbridge in an effort to stem the practice. Schauer also sent a letter to Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox.
"Enbridge's efforts to take legal advantage of Michigan residents under the stress of the immediate aftermath of the worst oil spill in the region's history are reprehensible," Oberstar and Schauer wrote in their letter to the company. "We are outraged that Enbridge would convince or seek to convince residents, workers, and business owners to sign release forms, which attempt to release Enbridge of all liability from claims – in some cases in exchange for an air purifier. We are equally distressed that Enbridge would convince or seek to convince residents with health effects from the oil spill to release all medical records and provide Enbridge with authority to discuss signatories' medical and psychological condition and treatment directly with residents' doctors."
The committee investigation found that Enbridge has convinced, or is seeking to convince, residents, workers, and business owners in the areas impacted by the spill to sign a "Full and Final Settlement Release." The release "discharges Enbridge, its employees, agents, partners, directors, and officers and affiliated companies and their agents, partners, directors, and officers, from and against all liability, claims, actions, causes of action, costs, and expenses, including without limitation claims for personal injuries, property damage, that [the signer] ever had, has, or may have against Enbridge, whether known or unknown related to the incident."
Many residents told the committee staff that they felt pressured to sign the Enbridge liability release in return for air purifiers that they were led to believe would protect them from the health effects of benzene and other volatile hydrocarbons released in the air as a result of the spill, or reimbursement for hotel and other expenses as a result of the evacuation. Other residents were urged to sign the release upon submittal of their claim forms to Enbridge at the claims centers. Many residents have reported that they had no idea what they were signing.
The committee will hold a hearing on the Enbridge spill in Washington D.C., on Sept. 15.

text: Wheat Market Steadily Tightens June 18, 2013 04:22 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Fran Howard AgWeb Contributing Writer Email The balance sheet for wheat continues to tighten. According to USDA's latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates, released June 12, projected production for the 2013-14 U.S. wheat crop was increased by 23 million bushels due to higher yields for hard red winter wheat in the southern and central Plains states and in the South's and Midwest's soft red winter wheat production, but use was also increased. "The report is a little bit friendly toward the wheat market," says Randy Martinson, executive vice president with Progressive Ag in Fargo, N.D. "USDA increased exports which caused a decline in ending stocks and raised the price by 10 cents." The major surprise in the report was a 0.5-bu. increase in the average wheat yield from May's report to 44.6 bu. per acre. "That threw everyone for a loop," says Martinson, particularly since southern Plains producers are still battling drought and producers in the northern Plains are struggling with late planting. Sluggish Planting The nation's spring wheat crop has been slow to get planted. Martinson estimates that in North Dakota between 500,000 and 750,000 acres of soft wheat, somewhere between about 3 and 6 percent of the state's total crop, will not get planted this year. North Dakota is one of the top-two wheat-producing states in the country. USDA's projected price range for the 2013-14 season-average farm price for all wheat increased by 10 cents on both ends of the range to $6.25 to $7.55 per bu. Despite the increase, the price is well below the expected record annual average price $7.80 per bu. for 2012-13. USDA increased its estimate for exports by 50 million bushels due to strong early season sales and a worsening outlook for overseas wheat production. Ending stocks were reduced 11 million bushels to a projected 659 million bushels, a five-year low. "U.S. stocks are comfortable," notes Martinson. "Three years ago the stocks-to-use ratio was about 45%, which means there was about half a year's use in inventory. Now the stocks-to-use ratio is about 30 percent. The 2013-14 stocks-to-use ratio is projected at about 29 percent." A stocks-to-use ratio near 20 percent is considered a balanced market. Martinson expects wheat prices to decouple from corn prices this fall and predicts a range for spring wheat prices of about $7.65 to $8.50 per bushel. However, he cautions that until wheat prices begin trading on their own, weaker corn prices could drag wheat prices lower. World Supplies Tighten USDA lowered projected world wheat supplies for 2013-14 by 5.6 million tons due to lower overseas production. World production is currently projected at 695.9 million tons, down 5.2 million tons from last month with reductions in Ukraine, Russia, and the EU-27 due to persistent areas of dry or wet weather. Along with production, USDA lowered global wheat consumption for 2013-14. World ending stocks for 2013-14 at a projected 181.3 million tons were lowered 5.1 million tons from last month, and are now slightly above 2012-13 ending stocks. The U.S. wheat market is heavily dependent on wheat exports, notes Martinson. "We need to export about 30 to 50 percent of our wheat crop," he says. While emerging issues in Europe could spell more exports for the United States, problems have surfaced on this side of the Atlantic as well. The discovery by Oregon State University scientists in May of genetically modified wheat on an eastern Oregon farm has threatened to choke off exports to Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, where genetically modified crops have been banned, as well as to Europe, where EU officials are preparing to test incoming shipments.

July 18, 2013 10:18:38 AM
State Rep. Gary Chism, R-Columbus, said lawmakers are expected to use legislative sessions in both 2014 and 2015 to address Oktibbeha County school consolidation issues.
Chism referred to the March 1, 2014 deadline for the local consolidation committee's report on merger issues as a driver meant to call the county to action. Legislators, he said, will address any issues lingering from next year's legislative session months before law calls for the Oktibbeha County School District to merge with the city system.
Members of the Commission on Starkville-Oktibbeha Consolidated School District Structure Tuesday expressed concern over the size of their task in regard to the state-mandated deadline. Committee member Rex Buffington suggested the group meet more than once a month to give proper attention and discussion to the complex issues surrounding merging two school districts.
Buffington previously recommended setting an internal deadline for the board's report. Members floated the idea of an internal January deadline Tuesday so lawmakers could begin consuming the report in the early part of 2014's legislative session, but a date was not officially set.
Local representatives and high ranking officials with the Mississippi Department of Education have met with Starkville School District Superintendent and OCSD Conservator Margie Pulley three times since the committee was formed. If the group sets a January deadline and continues its current schedule, the consolidation study group would only convene five more times.
But how daunting is the time line?
"If we started a brand new school district today, it would not be ready by 2015," Holloway said.
"I know they want to comply with what we've asked of them, but I'm sure they could submit a preliminary plan, list a couple of issues still out there and hold another meeting or two. That would give us time during the (2014) session to start addressing consolidation. In other words, they've got to show us the plan, but then they've got another year," Chism said. "The 2015 session could be used for more tweaks. We definitely want a comprehensive plan, but we know issues are always waiting to pop up with something big like this."
If the committee's report misses the bill-introduction phase of next year's legislative session, Chism said friendly amendments to other education acts could be utilized and drive the process.
"If everyone is cooperative, we can find a way," he said. "As long as these suggestions are for the betterment of the school district and its students, we're for it."
The consolidation group's report will focus on four core areas: a review of both school districts' structure and recommendations on how they can be effectively merged; the viability of merging one or a combination of the county's four campuses with neighboring school systems; capital facility needs and financing recommendations; and the elimination of duplicative and wasteful administrative spending while maximizing educational quality.
"I really think the sooner we can decide on a basic framework, the better we are because then we can build upon it. That's when we can start making tangible accomplishments," Buffington said.
No matter what recommendations the committee makes, HB 716 still calls for the two districts to merge July 1, 2015. The committee cannot decide if SSD and OCSD should or should not merge.
"At the end of the day, we're going to be a consolidated school district. We do not need two districts in one," committee member and District 2 Supervisor Orlando Trainer said. "If we keep the focus on the children and not stay so honed in on the smallest of things, we - Oktibbeha County - will be successful."
Committee members could utilize previous documented discussions on consolidation as a guidepost for the current endeavor. Buffington chaired a local task force in the late '90s which discussed the idea of a unified school district and presented plans to both systems. SSD's school board approved the proposal then, he said, but it was rejected outright by county trustees.
Buffington is currently in the process of obtaining documents relating to the previous group's efforts.
"It was a well-thought out effort which came incredibly close to being a reality," he said. "The times and the situations have changed, but we could learn a lot from that past experience."
Committee members set a public hearing for 6 p.m. Aug. 22 at the Greensboro Center for the first public discussions on the four county schools' futures.
The topic is an important one because the number of schools in the county-wide school system would depend if any are absorbed by Oktibbeha's neighbors. Members mentioned Choctaw, Clay, Lowndes and Webster counties' school systems as possible homes for the four schools in passing Tuesday.
SSD's territory covers a modified square shape in the middle of the county, while OCSD's campuses are located in the county's four corners. If legislators and MDE agree to move one or multiple OCSD schools to a neighboring district, transportation and funding - average daily attendance and ad valorem monies - issues would then need resolving.
MDE officials announced Tuesday a new email address - [email protected] - to which residents can send questions or comments about the merger process. Officials will gather submissions and provide answers for a planned Frequently Asked Questions guide.

'You Find Out Who Your Friends Are'
Another week, another country music title. I went with Garth Brooks's "Thunder Rolls" last month in a Bristol race preview; this week, it's the above title by Tim McGraw.
In this past Sunday's race at Martinsville Speedway, Dale Earnhardt Jr. went for a spin, and when the field came back around as he was re-firing, race leader and teammate Jimmie Johnson pulled by him. The result was that Junior ended up two laps down in 24th, where he finished the 500-lap race shortly thereafter.
The action drew the ire of Junior Nation, who have long had a vendetta against the five-time champion in the No. 48.
In general, I find this hatred to be unfounded. Many of Junior's fans used to cheer for his father, one of the most successful drivers in the history of the sport. When he tragically passed, the allegiance was transferred to someone with the same name in hopes that he would continue on the Earnhardt legacy of championships. Instead, those championships have been won by Jimmie Johnson, and fans have held that against him and his team, much like us Red Sox fans hold the Yankees' success against them.
On Sunday, however, I can understand the disappointment from Junior Nation in Jimmie Johnson pulling around the No. 88 as it re-fired. After all, every other car on the track held up to allow Dale Jr. to get back into formation, why couldn't the No. 48?
After the tough finish, Earnhardt Jr. said, "we know who our friends are out here," clearly a little miffed that he'd been snubbed by Johnson.
His crew chief, however, wasn't holding grudges. "I would never expect a teammate who was leading in the race to help you not go two laps down," said Steve Letarte. "That's pretty embarrassing to ask him to do that."
Johnson, himself, aired his frustration on Twitter, sarcastically tweeting, "You haters have it right. I'm a bad teammate. I have a cheated up car, I'm lucky and the race was fixed. Gotta love twitter & #NascarFans." (Good point. How was it luck that he led 346 laps?)
In truth, while Earnhardt Jr. has the right to feel slighted, it probably wasn't something Johnson considered at the time. As Letarte suggested, Johnson's focus was winning the race.
Earlier in the STP Gas Booster 500, Ryan Newman had been penalized three laps for stopping on the track. In 2010 at Sonoma, Marcos Ambrose slowed under caution while leading. When his car failed to re-fire, he fell to seventh, which allowed Johnson to pick up his first Sonoma win.
Perhaps Johnson feared a penalty should he stop the pack on the track. Perhaps when Junior reversed to the top of the track, he read it as a sign that he should lead the field by. Whatever the case, it came off slightly rude, especially when the rest of the field held up - but it probably wasn't intended that way.
The thing that most disgruntled fans ignored was the fact that with only about 30 laps remaining, Earnhardt Jr. no longer had any shot at winning the race anyway. He was sitting in 21st, one lap down, before the caution; he came out 24th, two laps down, after the caution.
Ultimately, while Junior and his fans have the right to be disappointed with a teammate nudging the No. 88 another lap down the pylon, there shouldn't be any blame toward suggesting that Jimmie cost him a fair chance in the race.
"No," said Letarte in regards to if there was an issue with the No. 48 team. "The issue is when you run like crap and you get in the back." A fair observation from a car that had just one of those days.

Packerville, U.S.A.
This picture was taken from a four-color booklet given to prospective free agents in 1985, encouraging them to consider playing in Green Bay. Filled with facts about the city being a wonderful place to live and play, the booklet leans very heavily on the great Packer tradition, including this great image of the trophies former Packers had earned in the past.
From left, the rings are from 1967 (Super Bowl II), 1961, 1966 (Super Bowl II) and 1965. The watch in the middle is from 1962.
But wait - a watch? Wasn't there a ring issued for the 1962 World Championship? We've seen one before, from the estate of scout Lew Anderson. It appears to be the same design as 1961.
It's possible that the 1962 rings were issued to personnel who weren't on the previous year's team. I'm having a hard time establishing if Lew Anderson had been with the Packers in 1961.
If the '62 ring was the same as '61, then it would make sense that anyone who already had a ring would be given a watch instead. We know that Bart Starr was given a watch, not a ring, in 1962.
Watches as personal trophies were nothing new - the 1929 Packers, first to "bring the bacon back to old Green Bay", received pocket watches from the team.
(Heritage Auctions)
I love the design of the 1962 watch.
Packerville, U.S.A.
The single-bar helmet graphic is wonderful, even if they did manage to reverse the colors on the helmet logo.
So that sums up the Lombardi-era championship jewelry; a ring in 1961, a watch in 1962 (or a recycled '61 ring), rings again in 1965, 1966 and 1967. Plus an assortment of charms, tie clasps and cufflinks. Not a bad haul.

With condiments
While down Tauranga way some years ago, I purchased a few bottles of orange vinegar made with locally grown oranges. Strawberries have never tasted the same without first marinating them in this delicious liquid. The sweet/sour taste is amazing and I would love to be able to make my own. It is also a great pick-me-up on its own, a few sips is enough. I'm sure there are many uses for orange vinegar such as marinating fish. Can you help please?
Many thanks, Carrie.
The thing with oranges, in fact all citrus fruit, is that the pith, the white fleshy bit between the segments and the rind/skin, is always bitter. Which is why most recipes tell you to finely grate or peel the skin, remove the white pith, and then slice the segments. However, sometimes having a little bitterness can also be quite tasty, and of course if the pith didn't exist, marmalade would have no body. So bearing that in mind, and knowing different orange varieties have differing degrees of bitterness, here are several ways to make the vinegar.
In the first, half-fill a sterilised 1 litre jar with orange peels and a heaped teaspoon of flaky salt. Make sure you've wiped the oranges well with a warm damp cloth before peeling them to ensure no unnecessary microbes get in. The half-filled jar should be well compacted - if you don't have enough orange in there you'll get less flavour. Pour on enough white vinegar - cider or white wine, and tightly seal the jar. If the lid is old and metal place a layer or two of plastic foodwrap on first as the vinegar can cause older metal to rust. Store the jar in a cool dark place and every few days shake it gently and take the lid off briefly to let out any gas, which should be either minimal or none at all.
After two weeks the vinegar will have absorbed most of the flavour so then you need to strain it. Line a sieve with a damp double layer of muslin cloth (or Chux cloths) suspended over a deep pot or bowl. Pour the mixture into the sieve, but don't be tempted to squeeze or push the peels as that will make the vinegar cloudy. Pour into sterilised bottles and you're ready. If you don't have a lot of oranges to make this, then simply save the peels as you eat them and freeze them until you have enough.
Another version is more like a sweet and sour vinegar cordial. Peel two oranges, making sure not to include any pith, and reserve the peel. Then cut the skins and pith off these and another three, so five in total. You want no pith at all. Cut all the oranges thickly; place in two batches in a food processor with the reserved peels and blitz coarsely.
Tip into a non-reactive bowl and pour on 300ml white vinegar, as above. Mix well, cover tightly and leave in a cool place overnight. Pour the mixture into a sieve as described above - this could take up to two hours to completely drain through - you'll need to be patient. You'll have around 600ml liquid.
Place in a saucepan with 80g caster sugar per 300ml liquid. Slowly bring to a boil, then cook over a gentle boil to reduce the liquid to 500ml - it'll take about 12 minutes. Pour into sterilised bottles or jars and leave to cool for five minutes before sealing. Once cooled it's ready to use. You can also add a star anise, half a vanilla bean, some crushed allspice or peeled ginger when you cook it for another layer of flavour.

Unveiled at Friday night's VGAs, the trailer for Assassin's Creed III's next big DLC throws players into a world where George Washington became a malevolent despot instead of America's first president.
Considering how Connor was a close ally of the iconic general in Assassin's Creed III, the potential for drama is high in this expansion.
The Tyranny of George Washington will be a three-part offering where Ratonhnhaké:ton never used the name Connor and never became an Assassin. There's no release date yet but The DLC will be accessible with a season pass that will cost 2400 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE or $US29.99 on the PlayStation Network.

In my opinion, it is the most perfect source for everything about Shana.
They are very quick when the new novel is on sale .
For the second link, I'm helping wikia with some of the information a bit (which I got from the first link and novels I have) during my holidays. Although my English is bad .

It has been foreshadowed in Shana before. You remembered that a piece of a spell insignia was shoved in the Reiji Maigo by Sabrac. That was part of the Psalm of Grand Order.
Also, the last two "failures" by Bal Masque are actually successes in itself.
Spoiler for Shakugan no Shana:
Spoiler for Shakugan no Shana Second:
The third season will make us realize that the Bal Masque has been winning the war and it will take another epic effort to give them the ultimate blow of defeat.
For short...
Bal Masque: Just as planned.

I have to ask, has anyone read the Juggle side story in the Shakugan no Shana Second no Subete for Mare and Sabrac yet? If so, I madly request a translation, or a detailed summary, please.

It gives more backgrounds on Sabrac and Mare that's been hinted in the Shana PS2/DS game in the Mare's ending (when you use Mare to defeat all characters in the game).
You can find some of the detail in Wikia on Mare's part.

I'm envious. I read Mare's entry already, and that's why I'm craving for more. Requesting excerpts or the whole translation!
I'm betting Sabrac is tsundere towards Mare. I'd kill just to read his interactions with her. Also, to read him being badass with killing two Flame Hazes.

It's about Shana before coming to Misaki city. She went to Austria, along with Cecilia Rodrigo, to fight with Crimson Lord named Onamuchi. It gives the details about the relationship between Cecilia and Clemens Rott who died fighting with Onamuchi before.
I could only waiting it to be put in volume SIII.
Does it count as Tsundere?

Kuudere seems fitting.
Anyways, S and SII both compiles and collects side stories that gets released, but not all of them, right? The side story in Noizi Ito's Guren (reshuffle) wasn't in S, and Zoetrope is split from both SII and volume 5 of the SnS manga (I think). I'm not sure if there are others... And since SII (06/08), what other side stories have there been out aside from Verger and Juggle?
I think a proper list is needed.

Cross Country Prepares for Nationalsby Brandan Alford '12 • November 16, 2011 Share:
The Wabash cross country team will be making a repeat appearance at the Division III National Cross Country Championship this weekend. A second-place finish at the Great Lakes Regional meet a weekend ago has punched the Red Pack's ticket to Winneconne, Wisconsin for Saturday's meet, set to begin at 1 p.m.
The Little Giants finished behind Calvin, which won its 16th-consecutive regional with 36 team points. Wabash finished with 100 points for the meet.
"The guys ran great," coach Roger Busch said. "We have endured some setbacks, losing two of our top runners, and I think that people at the conference and regional level wrote us off. So it was nice to see guys come out and compete at a high level.
"The conditions were a little windy, but we just brushed those aside and competed. We talked about running off of place, and that is exactly what they did."
The Little Giants were led by senior Kevin McCarthy's individual title in the meet, as well as three other all-regional performers. A year ago, Wabash turned in a 13th place at the national meet a week after a second place result at regionals.
"Kevin has been a top-10, possibly top-5 runner in the region since his junior year," Busch said. "He wasn't feeling really well Saturday, so I told him, 'no pressure, go out there and just run, and if the opportunity is there to win the race, go do it.' As a coach to see him finally get a true championship win was really exciting.
You could read it all over his face during that last mile; he was relaxed, and he had a smile on his face. He was in the moment; he was composed and he looked great."
Seniors Brian David and Kenny Farris, along with sophomore Dalton Boyer turned in all-regional times. David, Farris, and Boyer, along with McCarthy, turned in season-best times at meet hosted by Oberlin. McCarthy blazed the course in 24:31.01, 45 seconds better than his previous best time. David finished n 11th place with a time of 25:11.58, bettering his season-best time by 20 seconds. Boyer rounded out the top-20 Little Giant performers with a time of 25:33.57, which was good for 17th place while Farris (below left) finished 29th in a time of 25:57.22.
With their all-region performances, coupled with the grades they have attained in the classroom, the quartet will also be eligible for Academic All-American recognition following the season.
"That is something that I am extremely proud of those guys for," Busch said.
The surprise story of the regional for Wabash was Jared Burris. The freshman was not in the original lineup for Saturday's meet, but unexpected circumstances placed the rookie squarely in the middle of Wabash's qualification for a second consecutive national meet.
"We had a situation, where a guy forgot his number back at the hotel, and we couldn't just give him a different number, because that would disqualify us as a team, so Jared found out about 15 minutes before the race that he was running. Because he didn't know that he was running, he had already run nine miles before the race even began.
"He was trying to get re-warmed up after sitting around for 15 to 20 minutes. I hope what eased his mind was that there were no expectations and that as long as he gave me everything he had and just crossed the finish line, that would be fine with me and we would roll with it."
Burris turned in a time of 26:12.40, good for 42nd place and enough points to secure Wabash of a second-place finish for two years in a row. Burris' time was 43 seconds better than his previous best mark. Burris finished only seven spots away from earning all-region honors.
McCarthy's regional title is the first by a Little Giant since 1995, a team for which Busch was a member.
"That group was a little different back in '95," Busch said. "We group-ran a lot of times, and had a different strategy.
"Kevin's journey has been a little different. He only ran one year of high school, so he has been a work in progress here. It's really hard to compare the times, but I think that in a footrace, he would have kicked our butt. We ran as a group, but he has had to do it on his own a lot.
He's a one-man wrecking machine, and that one point for winning was huge in a team setting."
Fresh off that regional title, McCarthy has been named the Great Lakes Region's Athlete of the Year.
Building off of the regional result, Busch has high hopes for what his team can accomplish at the national meet.
"The older guys on the team talked about team goals at team camp," Busch said. "They said at the beginning of the year that they wanted to finish in the top 10. As well as our seniors are running, I think we can sneak into that top 10.
"If we have a great race with Kevin in the top five and Brian in the top 30 with three or four guys right there behind them, we might be able to get seventh or eighth in the country, but if we have an off day, we could fall to 16th or 17th. We just need to go out there and run to our ability, and we will do very well."
McCarthy echoed his coach's thoughts about the team's approach to Saturday's race.
"We started with building a foundation by going to nationals last year," McCarthy said. "Now this has become an expectation. That was what we didn't have before. We didn't have the confidence of knowing we could be a national team, we just had a hope.
"What has really helped us is that towards the middle of the year we've been coming together as a group and focusing on working the last part of the race and staying confident in the second half of the race. That has really helped in our performances in the later portion of the season."
The Red Pack has one goal for Saturday's race — a top effort from every runner.
"I have my own personal goals and the other guys have their own goals," McCarthy said. "The most important thing Saturday is for each of us to cross the finish knowing we gave everything we possibly had. If we do that, I'm confident the results will take care of itself."

People Over 50 Race to the Marathon
The number of people in their 50s running marathons is rising fast. Kevin Helliker on Lunch Break looks at why this age group is attracted to the long race, with training and injury prevention advice.
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
... I ... in your eye on is Sunday and more bodies wanting what they will be over fifty years old why is this happening when is it mean Canon Helliker seniors watch when he's right here beside me ... in a ... year and a runner ... last year aged the asking I'm I'm definitely in this ... new fast growing group of over fifties ... although for many of those running might be too strong a word to say when should I like that I like will self deprecation why is this happening know why so many more personal people who are over the final mark ... in going out there pounding the pavement ... well I think out ... someone who has watched this for years I've kind of wondered why it hasn't happened before because ... if you look at the the the major demographic groups and Marathon to them people in the thirties and forties people with cannons and ... so when you get to be a fifties you have the free time and to find my it's happening and I think it's because ... some of ... some of the runners are those who've been doing all on the move in that age group official just also one way and that's that ... that you can ... and that you don't have to ... in some cases you don't even have to ride some people are walking going on the front hybrid example I think a lot people do that just as is easily didn't run and find some way it's absolutely and and and Jeff Galloway who ... out with an Olympian in nineteen seventy two has made a science out of that ... there's a huge group and will be in New York on Sunday ... Galloway runners who ... had ... was that they have ... intervals for a second try in thirty seconds walk and three minus one running one minute walking ... injuries was talk injuries though because you know I know it is again on our bodies they don't do what we want to do necessarily what they did when they were in their teens and twenties and so forth ... so is that a bigger is that more parking fees more prevalent with a fit over fifty mindset ... well I have to think that injuries are one reason that you see a did a decline in and the number of people running marathons from the thirties forties to fifties but on the other hand that we've now found that you can cut back on the now are running you do you don't have to try as much in your ... as you did in Europe this year in the thirties and forties ... across the finish line is fast ... both of ... you still need to go out into the long training ride and you still need to do the ... the the there is disagreement about how long long Wednesday to bewitching need to do at least twenty miles because if you don't you just it's not like seven people near twenty stages go and run a marathon just flat they haven't trained for the auto ... Hong over and they make it through begin really candid estimate when you're over fifty I would worry about ... aam up having a cardiac event of some sort is that of real issue ... there is ... a ... cardiac events ... do happen in marathons and and they do happen more often when older people than with the younger people as as they happen everywhere ... but I'm that's in frequent enough not to be a concern but there's no question that you can be as reckless ... about it when you when you're in your fifties as when your in your point that can ... grow if we can all look like us that these will be good for the cut ... yes I ... love that you write in a marathon I'm I'm participating and we'll see if it's

Time is ticking away for me as a non-bionic person. In about 36 hours I will have an artificial hip. I am actually considering asking them to do some other work on me whilst I'm out cold, maybe a facelift, straighten those teeth out etc. What do you reckon?
I'm coming round to the idea now, to be honest I'm so sick of the pain and discomfort and endless sleepless nights that I just want it sorted. It hasn't particularly felt like a big deal most of the time, and then I get giant, scary waves of fear that I'm having surgery, which is quite a big deal.
I have loved the fact that once again my friends and family have rallied round showing me their support. They are determined to help me with my new business by keeping the shop open and volunteering their help for free. I even have a few handy helpers to cook up a storm on the baking front, as I direct from a kitchen stool. So really I should have nothing to worry about and my hard work isn't about to go to waste because of 'hip gate' and its unfortunate timing.
I can't help but worry though that this replacement cycle will continue throughout the future and I hate to think of having to ask for help with running my business again. Maybe I did a stupid thing by taking a leap of faith and setting up my own company. I'm sure some people would say it is irresponsible of me to think I could run a business on my own with my condition. I'd probably agree with them right now. Maybe it was me trying to dream big and forget about the potential problems. But you know what, I went for it. I took a chance and did what I wanted to do for a change. I was, and still am, up for the challenge and I will fight to make sure my business is a success. If it fails it won't be because I have an illness. I always strive to do my best and that will continue whether I am at home on crutches decorating cakes or able to do business as usual.
I do hope that people will read this and know that if I can do it, they can too. I have pain and suffering just like the rest of RA sufferers out there, the difference is I made a decision to not let it take over my life anymore. There will be bumps in the road, and things may not always be as easy as of you didn't have RA, but you can still make something of what you can do.
So I am packing my bags for hospital now. It's funny as every other time I have been admitted to hospital I haven't had time to prepare and gather my things, but as this is a planned operation I know I can be more comfortable in my own clothes and with my books to read. It's hardly like a holiday, but I am kinda looking forward to a bit of rest. It's a wonderful excuse for a time out that I think I have needed for a while. I love my job and everything about my life at the moment but the whole hip thing has left me exhausted and it is starting to flare my arthritis up again. So it's nice to know that I can go into the ward on Friday and not worry about anything, my business is taken care of, my family and friends are there for support so all I need to do is concentrate on my recovery.
I know I am very lucky that I don't have to worry about much, but that only comes from a long time of ensuring my family and friends understand my condition and need for help sometimes. I want to thank those who have wished me well, I am sorry I can't always get back to all of you but I want you to know I greatly appreciate your kind words and thoughts. I am going to miss my comfy sofa and bed for a while... it will be up on blocks and my bed will resemble a sun lounger when I return as they are sticking some plastic back on it to stop me turning in the night. Here's to a speedy, yet uncomfortable recovery. I'll be back next week, hopefully, to share with you my experience of surgery (not sure how much i'll remember with all the drugs but I will try!)

Wii U app Nintendo TVii arrives tomorrow in US, Canada
Nintendo's Tvii app will launch in the US and Canada tomorrow on the Wii U, but don't expect it to be fully functional.
The previously delayed app will arrive sometime in the next day, but won't include Netflix or Tivo program guide support as originally promised. It won't initially offer the ability to program or access DVR content either.
So what will TVii actually contain when it arrives?
An interactive online guide to TV, Hulu Plus, and Amazon Instant Video programming – as well as the ability to search online for programming info and post comments via social platforms.
The Wii U's gamepad plays the familiar role of the remote with the app, letting users find a show across different services, touch a selection, and the controller does the rest.
"After Dec. 20, you'll never look at your TV the same way again," said Nintendo of America President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime. "Wii U owners have already experienced the transformative effect that the GamePad has on game play and social interaction. Nintendo TVii shows how the integrated second screen of the GamePad can also transform and enhance the TV viewing experience. Welcome to the new world of TVii."
Several other services including Wikipedia, IMDB, and Rotten Tomatoes have either been confirmed or rumoured to land on Nintendo's application at some point.
The Tvii app is slated to launch in Europe sometime next year.

We think it's fairly safe to say members of the SnoWest SnowTest crew were the first snowmobilers to wear Mechanix Gloves when we went riding.
Mechanix Gloves were not designed for snowmobiling but we grew attached to them because we grew tired of the bulkier gloves that were on the market. The biggest attraction with Mechanix Gloves was that they were thin and allowed us to grip the handlebars and mountain bar better. You could also operate the buttons on the handlebars (warmers, etc.) and push the reset buttons on the odometer without having to take your gloves off. You could also work on your sled out on the snow with these gloves on, instead of having to take bulkier gloves off to replace a spark plug or belt or whatever.
We're the first to admit Mechanix Gloves weren't the warmest gloves but if the sled's handwarmers worked, we managed well enough. Of course, that was the days before mountain sleds started the move to little or no windshield.
And waterproof the Mechanix Gloves were not. Once they got wet, off they came and a new pair were put on. We remember times when we could wring out the water that the gloves soaked up after we dug a sled out. Another attraction was that the Mechanix Gloves were cheap. For about 25 bucks you could get a pair.
Then along came different versions of thin gloves from more traditional snowmobile clothing manufacturers. They offered a bit more protection, mostly in the warmth area, and some were even windproof.
We tested three of those pair of lightweight gloves side by side last winter just to see if there were any differences between them. We already knew we preferred them over the Mechanix Gloves, although we still have a pair or two of the Mechanix Gloves in our gear bag for when we need to work on our sleds and want to use the less expensive Mechanix.
Here are the three different pairs of gloves we tried:
Klim Inversion GloveThe lightweight Inversion Glove utilizes Gore Windstopper material and the palm is made of Clarino leather, a material that is fairly durable and has a decent grip, even on the slickest of handlebar grips. Klim also uses double Kevlar stitching. The Inversion has a seamless tip construction on the fingers and features stretchable neoprene cuffs. Klim also claims the Inversion Gloves are highly water-resistant.The gloves retail for $45.99.www.klimusa.com
HMK Factory Team GloveAnother handy feature on the HMK glove is the snow proof wrist gusset with a hook and loop closure.The gloves retail for $44.95.www.hmksnowmobiling.com
Scott USA S1Also a lightweight glove, the Scott S1 uses neoprene construction for the most insulation you can expect from a lightweight glove. Unique to the S1 is a cord to help you pull the gloves on. The cord goes across the wrist opening but doesn't really get in the way once the glove is on.The gloves retail for $39.99.www.scottusa.com
All three pairs are indeed lightweight and definitely not bulky. We can easily operate, push, pull, reset, grip any buttons or knobs on our snowmobile without any problems. While it's a bonus to be able to do all those things with gloves on, what we really like about all three pair is the feel of the handlebars and mountain bar while wearing them. Okay, not so much the feel but being able to grip the handlebars and mountain bar. Honestly, sometimes a bulkier glove makes it tougher to grab the mountain bar on sleds where the mountain bar isn't rigid. If the sled has a mountain bar that is "droopy" or has a narrow clearance between the handlebar and the mountain bar, it can be harder to get a gloved hand around it.
However, some days we just had to put on a heavier glove because it was so cold or the handwarmers weren't working on the sled. We won't make the claim that the lightweight Klim, HMK and Scott USA gloves are warm. But they are tolerable unless it's really cold. We're kind of stubborn when it comes to swapping out to heavier gloves. We like the feel of the thin gloves so much that it has to be very cold before we'll make the change.
We found the Klim Inversion gloves to have the best wind protection, due to the Windstopper material. That feature allowed us to wear them a little bit longer than the other two pair. And we can wear the Klim Gloves while riding sleds with little or no windshield because they offer wind protection. When riding those same machines while wearing the other pairs of gloves, we found the backs of our hands got colder faster, sometimes forcing us to change gloves. Windstopper does make a difference.
Waterproof? Not hardly. Each of the pairs of gloves might withstand one digging out of a sled (depending on how stuck it is) and not get soaking wet, but none of the gloves are waterproof. And once they get wet, well, it's time to change because they get cold, too. When they are wet, they are next to impossible to get back on as well. Perhaps, by just a minimal margin, the Klim gloves are easiest to get back on if they're wet. The HMK gloves are close too, but again, none are that easy.
Once any of the gloves get wet, they don't dry that fast because of the neoprene, although, interestingly enough, any waterproofness any of these gloves with neoprene in them is because of that material.
Another advantage of the lightweight gloves versus bulkier ones is that they're lightweight and easy to carry so you can take along an extra pair in case the first pair get wet and you need to change.
At the end of the day, we were happy with how all three different pairs of gloves performed. If forced to choose one of the three, it would most likely be the Klim set simply because of the Windstopper.

Adela Litwak
Born: April 15, 1920
Lvov, Poland
Adela was the youngest of five children born to religious Jewish parents in the industrial city of Lvov. Often known by her nickname, Putzi, she grew up in the same building as her paternal grandparents and learned to speak Polish, German and Yiddish. She attended public and private schools in Lvov before graduating from a Polish secondary school.
1933-39: My dream was to go on to medical school. But the tiny Jewish quota at colleges and universities virtually excluded me from enrolling. By September 1939 there were worse problems than not being able to attend university. The Germans invaded Poland from the west, and the Soviets came from the east and occupied Lvov in late September. Though instituting communism, Soviet rule at least spared us from German occupation.
1940-44: After the Germans occupied Lvov in July 1941, I avoided German roundups and deportation. My brother-in-law bought me a false ID card from a Pole. Becoming Ksenia Osoba, a Polish Catholic, I left Lvov in September 1942 and found work in Krakow as a secretary and governess. Working conditions were not too bad, but I was in constant fear of being discovered. On the trolley one day I met a former classmate of mine. I froze. Rather than talk to her I got off immediately. I didn't know if she would give me away.
Adela kept her false identity until she emigrated to England after the war. She married another Holocaust survivor. Together they moved to Canada and then to the United States.
