Even arc 1 of this series did that. It was more consistent than every other arc of the show, with a likeable cast that mostly had enough development that you cared what happened. The fact they didn't throw in a billion fodder characters specifically to kill off didn't hurt.

I think that the characters in this show have served their purpose, whether it is a minor or major one. Like other shows, AGE has a fair share of important and non-important side characters.
Remember, this show is AIMED for kids and is targeted towards new audiences. The characters are shown as simple as possible so kids and new Gundam audience can understand. Adding more subplot for each sub-character will result in a boring 500 episode saga considering the generational structure of AGE.
What surprises me is that they manage to add complexity and unpredictability to the plot. And who would expect at first sight that this series will have a high death count?
As for the animation quality, I would categorize it as inconsistent rather than being poor.
I'm not saying that AGE is perfect, of course several improvements can be made, but I don't think AGE should be categorized as bad.

I wasn't so sure how I would feel about having every active antagonists die before the end of both the show and the war itself. But after watching this episode, I think it fits with the whole generational conflict. This war has gone on so long that it has really outgrown the people who participated in it. And while I'm kind of sad at seeing so many deaths in such a short period of time, I think all of the deaths in the past two episodes have been handled decently, so I'm glad for that.

If Asemu or Zeheart was gender switched and Kio was their son, I think the 3rd arc would have been more dramatic
but as it stands, I think Kio is failing almost as hard as Zeheart
what is his purpose again?
Perhaps Gundam AGE would have been a lot better if it centered around Flitt growing old and bitter, and eventually? having a change of heart.
This 3 characters point of view is distracting.

Kio's purpose is to just be there while everyone else does the killing.
The only thing I really didn't like this episode was how they killed Fram. Before the game spoiled everything (great marketing decision >_>), I was hoping Zeheart would save her, perhaps sacrifice himself to save her and thus paying Dole back. But no, instead they have that grunt garbage Obright mortally wound her and then get lasered. At least she sent Mr I mop the floor like a tard packing before she died.

Man, just wow. They should've skipped that entire moonbase arc and actually made this episode into a 3 episode arc instead, you know, have a actual final battle against a known character.
Obright = Top tier badass, motherfucking Genoace, Remy is waiting for you and your awesome sideburns. Too bad it seems asspulled since you didn't actually do much until now, glad you took Fram out though.
Zeheart's character was made into a total fucking retard in this episode, you know, they could've used some of the 34 earlier episodes to develop his character a bit better, show that he regretted things about all his comrades and showing doubt about the plan in general instead of having him do a 180 in the last 4 minutes of the episode. Quality AGE writing strikes again.
Fram = Waah, waah, everythingweassumedcametrue.
Zeheart vs Asemu = Worst rival battle ever (if we can even call it that?). Good to see Asemu kick ass, but sad to see that the final battle i actually cared for ended in less than a minute without much actual fighting taking place.
Kio = as useless as ever. Why couldnt they make him a mechanic or something instead?
Zanald = Why didn't they have Kio kill him off in the previous episode? he served no purpose in this one, lol.
Next episode:
I fully agree with your comment earlier in this thread asking why we should give a shit. lol

That's some Rage Quit Villainous Breakdown Zeheart pulled getting himself killed.
Of all the hallucinations you had to listen to is his damn brother.
Do the exact opposite of what Desil says as listening to him make you like him. A too dumb to live backstabber. Sigh~
It all comes back to Zeheart's identity or lack of it. He followed too much a mad man's delusions of grandeur that he is left empty inside. Instead of making his own dreams. What he could've been but it was too late as he threw his future and the lives of others.

Once again Kio was just letting Fram push him over because of his no kill policy. Asemu and Flit weren't having slightest difficulty to stop her doings so Kio should have been able to get rid of her.
I have always difficulties to decide if I should judge AGE only compared to other AGE episodes, or compared to Gundam episodes in general. But because the script is totally lacks depth I decided go with the first alternative.
But this time my finger slipped according to latter one, so I voted 7 when it should had been 10.

lol the classic shoot em up and kill thousands of people ending. Zeheart going off the deep end and going DESTINY is lame. i do miss Fram even though she had the target on her beack for a long time. dont know what to way about Zeheart's death aside from rushed. i was hoping Zeheart would adopt a modified plan eden ie let both sides live in peace and let their generations create a better world.
the ending will suceed in solving the war no matter how rushed it was. half of the hardcore followers are dead already and they need to mop up the rest of the hardcore Vagan leaders and let the people come to their senses. i do want to see Flit die as he's been veganphobic ever since desil killed the girl he liked. i wont miss Flit if he dies. i hope Asemu and Kio survive. its regretable they also sacrificed the AGE system along with the ship though it makes sense to remove weapons of war if peace is imminent in the next episode. i liked the series due to the 3 generation progression, not so much given how they rushed the last few eps.

That and the Vagans haven't been doing anything that shows they could be reasoned with.
I mean when Algerus stated that it would be ridiculous for the Vagans to open fire with their cannon and kill their own allies just to take out the Gundams and the Diva what did Flit say"
"They're Vagans!,"
And what happened? The Vagans actually fired the cannon, wiping out a good portion of their ships for only 5 Federation ships that weren't the main targets....on that matter what were those ships still doing in the LOF?
How they are going to end this peacefully is anybody's guess. The cannon will have to be taken off from the colony but the Federation will have to do something that gains the Vagan peoples' trust.

Diva: *silent salute*
Obright: *salute* You sir, were a hero.
Fram: Errr, *nods a little* I really just feel pity for that woman.
Leil: *confused look*
Zeheart: *salute* Turning him back into a human being and having him atone for his crimes at the same time? Not bad. I don't mind that the battle lasted as short as it did.
I will remember this as the last time I will ever see this sequence of events:
Zeheart: "ASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEM!"
Asem: "ZEHEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART!"
I think there was some other guy that died. I don't even remember.
No I don't mean Zanald. That outcome was exactly as expected.

Nearly 30 potential projects in Monroe County are seeking a piece of the dedicated gaming revenue from Mount Airy Casino Resort.
Nearly 30 potential projects in Monroe County are seeking a piece of the dedicated gaming revenue from Mount Airy Casino Resort.
The total request for the 29 projects from the state's Local Share Assessment fund — a fund derived from gaming revenue at the Paradise Township casino — amounts to more than $10.2 million, according to figures from the Department of Economic and Community Development.
In 2012, the LSA provided $6.2 million for nine Monroe County projects after 37 applied for the grants.
The Commonwealth Financing Authority is expected to award the grants at its Jan. 29 meeting, according to department Deputy Press Secretary Theresa Elliott. It has not been determined yet how much money will be available this year, Elliott said.
LSA funding is derived from a percentage of Mount Airy's annual gaming revenue. From that percentage, half the funds go to Monroe County projects in the fields of economic development, public interest and community improvement.
Before Monroe County projects divide the available funds, $2.4 million is first dedicated to the Northampton Community College campus expansion, which is earmarked to receive that sum each year until 2031 to help pay for the $72 million project.
Among the richest of the requests in the county are an East Stroudsburg dam project seeking more than $1 million and the Mount Pocono Municipal Authority's request for $998,000 to build a spray-irrigation system as part of a continuing program (it received a $900,000 LSA grant last year).
Other applications are park, paving, police and construction projects throughout the county.
The Monroe County Industrial Development Authority handled the application process for 14 of the projects, including a $679,000 request to help pay for a natural gas line in Smithfield Township that would provide service to Vigon International.
It will be the third LSA application for the American Red Cross of the Poconos, which is looking for about $50,000 to pay for an emergency response vehicle. Two previous requests went unfunded.
While half of the dedicated gaming funds go to Monroe County, the other half goes to five of its six contiguous counties: Carbon, Lackawanna, Northampton, Pike and Wayne.
Luzerne is the only bordering county that does not receive funds, because of the presence of the Mohegan Sun Casino and the revenue it provides for Luzerne County projects.
Even though Northampton County has the Sands Casino, it continues to receive funding from the LSA Monroe fund.

There's been some discussion around here lately regarding the subject of camping & comfort. In my opinion these two do not go hand in hand.
That's why God created Boy Scouts.
MR. Eagle Scout suggested it would be great fun and that maybe I would be more in the mood {what kind of mood might that be honey?} if I had my own uniform!
He said I could sew on as many badges as I wanted!
Sure thing. Right after I sew on a discrete flat pocket to hold my slim straight shooter ~
Oh, calm down. I'm talking about a slim straight shooter from Stanley. "For those occasions that require more than a toast."
Then there's the question of accommodations.
Remember it goes everywhere I go?
Didn't think so.
There must be a better way…
There is!
Born from the love of the California landscape combined with nostalgia for the days of summer camp.
Shelter Co. provides fully furnished European style canvas tents for a luxury lodging experience.
Shelter Co. packages include all necessary amenities and are fully customized to meet individual needs !
Shelter Co. also offers a "Camping Butler" who will unobtrusively stoke your fire, pour your favorite liquor, {you can still bring your straight shooter Stanley} and provide turndown service?
It's as easy as one, two, three.
Pick your spot.
With Shelter Co. you get to pick wherever you want your campsite to be. A mountain top, a vineyard, a beach, even your own backyard. The possibilities are endless!
Pick your amenities.
I'm signing up for lighted paths, campfires, lawn & board games, a doggy tent, a private bath with organic toiletries, and yoga.
Sit back & relax.
Stargaze, sing songs, roast marshmallows, and get to know nature.
I think I might be getting in the mood.
They say that camping will renew my love of the great outdoors. What I love is that the folks at Shelter Co. will pack it all up after we depart and leave things just the way nature intended.
Now accepting reservations.
Hmmm. I'll let you know.
Feeling a bit more adventurous & want to take it to the next level? Clayoquot.
If you prefer the comforts of home but enjoy smoky, woodsy stories, pictorials, and videos you'll love Kinfolk.
If you're a hippie at heart you'll love The Yard.
If you were a Blue Bird like I was you'll remember this. I think it could easily be The Blogger Wish too!
Wherever you go & whatever you do this weekend I hope you have fun!

(November 5, 2008) - After winning against some of the top players and teams in the nation this fall season, ETSU men's tennis senior Enrique Olivares (Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela) will look to continue that trend once more, as the No. 31st ranked senior captain takes on the majority of top-32 players in the nation at the ITA National Indoor Championships, in Charlottesville, Va.
The four-day event will take place at the Boar's Sports Club, hosted by the
Olivares becomes just the second ETSU men's tennis player since 1992 to qualify for ITA National Indoors, after he reached the semifinals of the D'Novo/ITA All-American Championships in October.
"Enrique has continued to play outstanding tennis this fall," said head coach Yaser Zaatini. "He has been such an outstanding player for our team throughout this season, but more importantly Enrique has been a player and student-athlete that represent ETSU in such a great manner. He's someone that the school and community can be proud of both on and off the court."
Olivares will take the court at 10 a.m., Thursday, with pairings and draws being released to the public late Wednesday afternoon. Below is the listed participants and their ITA national rankings.

CHICAGO – The Blackhawks clung to a one-goal lead late in the third period Sunday against the Los Angeles Kings.
Hawks coach Joel Quenneville called a timeout to bark reminders at his players.
Then, just before the Hawks returned to the ice for a faceoff in their defensive zone, a familiar voice blasted from the speakers atop the United Center.
The one-word audio clip was unmistakable. The deep, slurred voice belonged to Patrick Kane from when he joyously stepped to the microphone and greeted throngs of fans during the 2010 Stanley Cup championship parade.
On Sunday, a sellout crowd of 21,832 fans went bonkers in response to the throwback clip. They screamed until the next faceoff, and before too long, the Hawks had increased their lead to 3-1 to seize Game 1 of the Western Conference final.
Well played, Hawks.
Nicely done, Hawks fans.
"That's a fun building to play in," Hawks defenseman Duncan Keith said as he sat in front of his locker after the game. "Use the crowd to our advantage. (We've) always taken pride in being here.
"At the same time, you want to win on the road, too."
Well, yeah, of course. But let's focus on home ice for a moment.
The Hawks are 7-0 on home ice during the playoffs. They went three for three against the St. Louis Blues, three for three against the Minnesota Wild and now they're one for one against the Kings.
Look back toward last season, and the Hawks' home-ice success is downright scary. In their past 20 playoff games on home ice, the Hawks are a whopping 18-2.
What is it about this place?
Home-field advantage understandably makes a difference in baseball, where home teams get the last at-bat and dimensions vary for everything from the size of the outfield to the amount of foul territory. And home-field advantage is huge in the NFL, where deafening crowd noise can prompt opponents to jump offsides.
But what gives with hockey? The rink size is exactly the same in Chicago as it is in Los Angeles. With slight variations, the temperature of the building is about the same, the quality of the ice is about the same, and the boards are about the same.
Yet the Hawks play at home as if they're the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field.
"We come out flying at home," said Hawks forward Brandon Saad, who scored the game's opening goal on a perfect deflection. "We play with that pace."
That pace, as you know, has helped the Hawks to win two titles in four years.
Maybe you're one of those people who shrug at home-ice statistics, insisting that the Hawks' success has 100 percent to do with the players on the roster. Although those players are great, they're the first to admit that the crowd makes a difference.
"The crowd has been unbelievable," Hawks defenseman Nick Leddy said. "That helps out a lot. It helps out for momentum, and momentum is huge in the playoffs."
Hawks forward Bryan Bickell agreed. A side bonus for Bickell: Instead of going back to a hotel, like the Kings did Sunday, he could drive home to his wife and two dogs.
"To get the first one under our belt and have that home-ice status still, it's important," Bickell said. "We started the series off right. We have to adjust a couple of things, but we're looking forward to Wednesday's game."
We all know where that game will take place.
Sweet home, Chicagoooo.

I'm going to Italy next week: two weeks with my wife, and a week and a half by myself (I have more vacation than she does). Right now we're thinking of visiting Rome, Venice, Sant'Agata Bolognese (for the Lamborghini factory), Milan, and Rome again (she has to catch her flight). After that, I was thinking of going south a little to Naples and somewhere else down there (Amalfi Coast? Adriatic Coast? I don't know). My questions, to anyone who can offer insight: - How long should my wife and I spend in Rome, Venice, and Milan? Our priorities: History, architecture, culture, food. - Aside from Naples, where should I go in that area? My priority: food, rest and relaxation, and food again (like my wife, I'm very much a city person, but I expect to have had my fill of cities from the first two weeks of my trip). - How much cash should we carry? We're worried both about running out of cash (we'll take credit cards too, of course) and theft. - Any other tips appreciated! Back to top augustineJoined: 08 Sep 2012Location: México Posted: Wed Jul 24, 2013 6:28 pm Post subject: I've been to Italy a couple times, spent about a month there in total. Rome is pretty grimy but I'd give it a few days minimum. Vatican City is great, all of the ruins and all that etc. It's been a few years but I'm guessing your trip is going to be pretty expensive. Milan is cool if you're into the scene which I wasn't but Venice is a trip. Hope it doesn't rain too hard when you're there. I haven't been south of Naples and people were telling me that Naples was semi-dangerous, but I found it fine, and that was a while ago. I'd guess Italy is super tourist security locked down and all that. I went to Brindisi to take a ferry to Greece, but I don't remember anything remarkable about Brindisi though it was kind of nice. I always get mad at myself for not going to Sicily so I'd think about maybe doing that, or you could hop a ferry to a different country off the grid like Albania, Bosnia, Serbia or Croatia. Eastern Europe kicks Western Europe's ass any day of the week in my mind and I've been to almost every country in Europe, but I know everyone has to do their Italy thing. I wouldn't worry too much about theft or anything aside from pick pockets in crowded areas. Eh, sorry I don't have more to offer. Just my thoughts. Have a nice trip.

It was part of our four week European vacation. The forum in Rome was impressive, we liked Pompeii down near Naples, and Venice was wonderful in February. We were there for margi gras, in Venice many people dressed up in fancy costumes and masks for the holiday. We also got to see ash Wednesday mass with the pope. We stayed at wonderful bed and breakfast in Rome for about 60 Euros a night. It was seven blocks from the train station. We were overcharged for meals more in Italy than any other country of the trip. We stayed at the rudest bed breakfast in Florence. The women there accused my wife and I of not being married. My wife's passport still had her maiden name on it back then. All in all we found Italy over rated and over priced. I would say spend at least 3 nights in Venice, 3 or 4 in Rome too, I can't help with the others since I didn't go there but I always wanted to go to Sicily. I believe the food and culture would be very interesting down there. We brought 3,200 Euros in cash and travelers checks for four weeks plus three western credit cards that we never used. We wore money belts and split the money between the two of us. We ended the trip having less than 100 euros. We had maybe 8 nice dinners total, 12 pub like dinners, 8 cheap dinners, breakfasts were usually included with the room, normal lunches (small cafes sandwiches coffee), museum fees, train fees (we had a Euro-pass but you usually had to pay a small reservation fee), 200 euros of souvenirs, three days of skiing, and ski rentals. BTW 3,200 euros for four weeks does not including lodging, airfare, or the rail pass. We prepaid for them on our credit cards. The four week trip was about 10,000 USD everything included.

I went to Milan, Venice, Florence, Tuscany and Rome. Could have gone to Naples and Pompei. Instead went to the Vatican and Rome. Much better than I thought. Good food. Milan was not interesting but Rome and Venice are better. Venice is unique and is like nowhere else. Florence is good if you are into art or shopping for leather. One warning: watch out for pickpockets in Rome on the subway and street. I heard of Japanese getting robbed and having their cameras stolen. Rome is dirty in parts but it is like walking around a museum, so it is cool.

My time in Portugal was limited, but I've spent nearly three months in Spain, and as I said above, around a month in Italy. I'd choose Spain any day, even though I know there's a bit of an upheaval going on there at the moment. Italy obviously wins out in the historical department, food, and a few others. But Spain has a good thing going on. Barcelona is one of my favorite cities and I even came to enjoy Madrid on my second visit. But there are a ton of great cities like Seville and Granada (Granada, especially). One of the best experiences of my life was the week I spent in some super tiny town living in a cabin up in the Sierra Nevada mountains that you had to literally walk through the woods to find. Smoking hash and playing my guitar sitting on a rock like a douche bag hippie. There's a great vibe in some of the smaller places and to me the Spanish don't seem as stuck up as a lot of Italians often do, though both countries are full of some really funny, stereotypical dudes. Plus, you can pop over to Morocco, which is also a really amazing country to travel in. That's just my opinion. And I speak Spanish, not Italian, so I'm biased. Back to top BrooksJoined: 08 Apr 2003 Posted: Mon Jul 29, 2013 10:21 pm Post subject: I cannot say but my wife has been to both Spain and Italy. She prefers Italy for its food, art, and architecture. I think Italy gets more tourists so their industry is more developed and organized. We had guided tours at the Vatican and Florence, and it is easy to pick the language of your choice. We did a group tour and the bus driver was very helpful and friendly. We went from Milan to Venice to Florence, a winery in Tuscany to Rome, plus the optional tour to Naples and Pompei. Pickpockets are worse in Spain, she thinks.

ASHTABULA, Ohio—The Ohio Department of Health says there's no risk from drug residue in the air at a nursing home that had a fatal methamphetamine lab fire.
The Star-Beacon of Ashtabula reports ( http://bit.ly/GCh3QX) the results were based on samples analyzed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and collected in the days after the March 4 fire at the Park Haven Home.
The fire broke out in a resident's room from what authorities say was a portable meth lab. One man, who police said was not a resident of the home or an employee, was killed.
The state is taking steps to revoke the license of the Ashtabula facility after a review cited seven violations, including failure to have a written plan to evacuate residents in an emergency.

BRISTOL — Renewed concern over the sharply angled slope of the gravel extraction sites near Mount Abraham Union High School has led to some community questions on one of Bristol's most contentious issues — gravel pits — that could lead to discussion on how to reclaim the site.
Bristol resident David Brynn recently initiated some conversation on the subject with a letter to the editor published in the Addison Independent and with posts on a social media site.
BRISTOL — The Bristol Planning Commission next Tuesday will publicly unveil a new draft of the proposed town plan for the first time since its previous proposal was voted down in March 2010. At a hearing on Sept. 20 at 7:30 p.m. in Holley Hall, planners will explain the draft and field comments from local residents.

The adventures of Nathan Drake appear to be moving closer to the big screen, as writer/director David O. Russell (Three Kings, I Heart Huckabees) has officially signed on to write the screenplay and direct the adaptation of the PlayStation 3 game, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. If that sounds a little bit like déjà vu, it is because Russell was already attached to the project once before, but backed out when he and Columbia Pictures were unable to agree on terms.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Russell will begin work on Uncharted immediately. Currently, the director is attached to adapt the book Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which will go into hiatus.
Developer Naughty Dog's game follows Nathan Drake, a descendant of Sir Francis Drake, who has followed in his ancestor's footsteps and become an explorer and treasure hunter. In the game, Drake, an Indiana-Jones-like character, is seeking the lost treasure of El Dorado with the help of his friend Sully, and the obligatory love interest along for the ride, in this case journalist Elena Fisher. Columbia had originally been pushing for a 2011 release date, but that will likely change.
Let the speculation begin on who will play Nathan Drake. Sound off below!

At its core, "The Company You Keep" is a good, solid thriller about a fugitive trying to clear his name. But it's a much more interesting movie at the edges.
Based on Neil Gordon's 2003 novel about a former Weather Underground activist who's spent some 30 years in hiding after being implicated in a bank robbery that turned violent, the film follows a predictable path. Jim Grant (Robert Redford, who also directed) has been living under an assumed name and working as a respectable lawyer when a former colleague and fellow fugitive from his radical days (Susan Sarandon) gets arrested by the FBI. Her apprehension, in which she looks like she wanted to get caught, piques the interest of a young newspaper reporter named Ben Shepard (Shia LaBeouf), whose dogged snooping also flushes out Jim.
Jim, a widower with a young daughter (Jackie Evancho), is soon on the lam again.
But his behavior — handing off his daughter to his brother (Chris Cooper) before making a beeline for his old radical pals (Nick Nolte, Richard Jenkins) — suggests to Ben that Jim thinks he's innocent and is trying to find someone to exonerate him. That sounds like a story to Ben, but it also puts the journalist at odds with an FBI officer (Terrence Howard), who's tired of his agency being made to look like chumps by a bunch of old hippies.
The chase — part police manhunt, part shoe-leather reporting — forms the spine of the story. It's a pretty gripping one, with secrets, a twist and an only slightly silly ending. The performances are uniformly fine, and Redford's direction keeps things taut and moving.
But there's a far more intriguing film in the shadows of the story.
Screenwriter Lem Dobbs, who worked with Steven Soderbergh on "Haywire," "The Limey" and "Kafka," has fashioned a script that's propulsive, while allowing for plenty of breathing room. The themes of aging, atonement and the death of idealism alone add layers of complexity and richness to the tale. But on top of that, Dobbs digs deeply into the question of terrorism and its definition. What's the difference between the Weather Underground and al-Qaida? The film asks this through Ben, a character who wasn't even born by the end of the Vietnam War — a war that some of Jim's colleagues considered itself a form of terrorism.
"The Company You Keep" looks at the notion of morality — both the shifting, relativistic kind, and the more inflexible variety — from more than one angle, and without obvious judgment. It has a story to tell, not an ax to grind.
It also features a splendid depiction of real, 21st-century journalism as practiced on the ground: crippled, idealistic and more than slightly desperate. Stanley Tucci is great as Ben's beleaguered editor.
In the end, there's a love story at the heart of "Company." In fact, there's more than one. It offers no apologies for the old act of violence that precipitates its action, but it holds a deep affection for the gray areas of dissension, debate and disillusionment that sometimes leave blood on the floor.
Three stars. R. Contains obscenity, drug references and brief violence. 125 minutes.
Ratings Guide: Four stars masterpiece, three stars very good, two stars okay, one star poor, no stars waste of time.

We've said before that we fully expect U.S. carriers other than Verizon to make available subsidized versions of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and this looks like a pretty good step in that direction. The FCC has approved the GT-i9250T, which is a Galaxy Nexus sporting radio frequencies for 3G on 850 MHz and 1900 MHz, which AT&T (among others outside the states) uses. This is different than the GSM version many of us have already imported in that it's lacking the 1700 MHz band for T-Mobile 3G (also called AWS). So it's a pretty good bet that we may well see a proper AT&T release at some point.
Why an entirely different version for AT&T if the current GSM model works just fine? Wouldn't want you to even have the possibility of skipping over to T-Mobile, we reckon. Not a huge deal, but also a little odd.
Source: FCC; thanks to everyone who sent this in!

EC: Allen-Bradley ControlLogix L73 and L75 Programmable Automation Controllers
Rockwell Automation has made two additions to its Allen-Bradley ControlLogix family of controllers, both leveraging the single design environment and networking protocol of the company's Integrated Architecture system. The ControlLogix L73 and L75 programmable automation controllers (PACs) offer integrated process, discrete and motion control capabilities on a single platform to help manufacturers minimize cost, improve the flow of manufacturing data, and ultimately move towards plantwide optimization.
The controllers feature advanced memory, speed and processing capabilities for a wide range of control demands, from high performance logic and motion to information-intensive process applications. For complex, high-performance motion applications, the PACs interface seamlessly with motion drives through EtherNet/IP and SERCOS network interfaces. They are capable of supporting as many as 100 axes of integrated motion, further simplifying synchronization of complex motion applications. A new CPU provides twice the performance compared to previous ControlLogix controllers, and new energy storage modules eliminate the need for lithium batteries, helping manufacturers avoid the maintenance and environmental issues associated with transporting and disposing batteries.
A USB port provides faster uploads and downloads, firmware upgrades and online edits. The controllers feature an on-board display to provide enhanced diagnostics and run-time information. The 1 GB secure digital card that ships with each controller provides data integrity, and faster reads and writes than previous CompactFlash technology, allowing users to store their application, controller and communications module firmware and/or tag data for later use. The ControlLogix L73 PAC is ideally suited for users requiring up to 16 MB of memory, while the ControlLogix L75 PAC offers 32 MB of memory.

Monty has the best possible home and will be very loved until the end of his days. Like everyone has said, how unfortunate it took the vets so long to figure this out but you KNOW what is wrong now and can focus on spoiling him rotten.
Re: Got some bad news :(
Thanks again everyone for all the kind words. Unfortunately, Monty has passed My husband and I were lucky enough to both be with him. I know he is in a better place, but that does not make it easier. My poor daughter is having a very hard time with him no longer being here, they were best buds Again, thanks to everyone for all the kind words and all the help that has been offered through some of the issues we were having.

ATLANTA - A federal agency says it has the legal authority to give Georgia more water from a disputed reservoir, though it has not made a final decision on how much to release.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said in documents released Tuesday that it has the legal ability to give metro Atlanta communities access to 705 million gallons of water per day from Lake Lanier on the Chattahoochee River to meet needs through 2030.
That reservoir is the focus of a long-running legal dispute between Alabama, Florida and Georgia.
In 2009, a federal judge ruled that metro Atlanta had little right to Lake Lanier and threatened to significantly curtail water withdrawals.
But the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals tossed aside that decision.

2001 Nissan Pathfinder Review - Long-Term UpdatePosted in Vehicle Reviews on April 1, 2002
You may recall that the 2001 Nissan Pathfinder was the Four Wheeler of the Year for 2001. We were enthusiastic about the Pathfinder then, and after having lived with it for more than 15,000 miles, we're no less so. It's been a willing and eager companion for whatever kind of mischief we've wanted to put it up to.
The chief joy is the Pathfinder's wonderful 3.5L V-6 engine. Romp on the gas pedal and you're outta there, buddy, the king of the stoplight grand prix. There's a price for that, though-average fuel economy has been 16.3-not bad, one supposes, but not wonderful, either.
Glitches? There've been two. First, the chain hoist for the spare tire jammed and took all manner of cussin' and wrenchin' to get straightened out. Second, the grille-surround for the right-side foglamp came adrift and disappeared. A replacement set us back $60.87. Other than that, there have been no complaints. And that's high praise indeed.
The Dirt
One of the things we liked about the Pathfinder we tested during the '01 Four Wheeler of the Year comparo, was that its transfer case was stirred by an actual gear lever. What we'd like, however, is something in the rear axle besides an open diff. The ability to lock the rear axle makes all the difference.
Street Smarts
The Pathfinder does just fine out there on the pavement. It's a bit cramped for long trips, especially for four people; but for two, just fold the rear seat down, load all your stuff, and away you go. The brakes match the engine's power, and one of the benefits of IFS is that the Pathfinder rides and handles very well on pavement.
Best Components
Plucked from the same parts shelves that equipped the Nissan Maxima, this 3.5L V-6 could give lessons on how engines should work. It's strong, smooth, and quiet, moving the Pathfinder with surprising authority. Fuel economy has not been stellar, but light-footed folks on long trips have racked up surprisingly economical numbers.
Long-Term Numbers
Miles to date: 15,058
Average mpg: 16.29
Best tank mpg: 25.0
Worst tank mpg: 11.19
Oil consumed (qts.): 0
Stucks to date: 0
Flat left-rear tire, patch, and balance.
Cost: $35
Replace plastic foglamp grille.
Cost: $60.87
Major 15,000-mile dealer service.
Cost: $327.49
Six words describing the nissan pathfinder:
1 Handy
2 Fast
3 Compact
4 Thirsty
5 Comfortable
6 Nimble
What We Like Most:
So flog us for saying this, but we really like the Pathfinder's abilities in traffic. As a commuter, it's much easier to deal with than a fullsize pickup or SUV. And of course there's that wonderful engine.
What We Dislike Most:
Lack of driver headroom, though you'll likely not be impacted by this if you stand less than 6 feet tall.
Logbook Quotes
* "Suspension is basic. Not enough shock control; I feel lots of rear-axle activity, especially over freeway expansion joints."
* "Second gear is geared way too high, if you ask me."
* "Brakes are nice and powerful."

Red Sox announce roster moves
BOSTON, MA -- The Red Sox announced the following roster moves today:
BOSTON, MA -- The Red Sox announced the following roster moves today:
- Left-handed pitcher Franklin Morales was activated from the disabled list. To make room for him on the 25-man roster, right-handed pitcher Pedro Beato was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket after last night's game.
- Infielder Brandon Snyder was placed on the 15-day disabled list (retroactive to August 8) with right elbow ulnar neuritis. To fill his spot on the 25-man roster, third baseman Will Middlebrooks was recalled from Pawtucket.
Executive Vice President/General Manager Ben Cherington made the announcements.
Morales, 27, had been on the 15-day disabled list since June 25 (retroactive to June 23) with a left pectoralis strain. He allowed just one hit with no walks and six strikeouts over 5.1 innings during a four-game rehab stint, including three games with Triple-A Pawtucket and one with Double-A Portland. The left-hander, who began the season on the 15-day disabled list with a low back strain, has made six appearances for the Red Sox in 2013, going 2-0 with a 7.30 ERA (10 ER/12.1 IP), nine walks, and 11 strikeouts.
Middlebrooks, 24, returns for his second major league stint of the year. The right-handed hitter was optioned to Pawtucket on June 25 and has totaled 44 games with the PawSox in 2013, including a five-game rehab stint while on the major league disabled list from June 4-9. With Pawtucket this season, he is batting .269 (47-for-175) with five doubles, 10 home runs, 34 RBI, 16 walks, and 25 runs scored. He has hit safely in his last eight games, hitting .333 (11-for-33) with a double, two homers, and five RBI in that time. Since the start of July, he leads the PawSox and ranks ninth in the International League with 23 RBI. In 53 games with Boston to begin the season, he went 39-for-203 (.192) with 13 doubles, nine home runs, 25 RBI, and 19 runs scored.
The 26-year-old Beato has appeared in 10 games for the Red Sox, all in relief, over four major league stints this season. He is 1-1 with a 3.60 ERA (4 ER/10.0 IP) and five strikeouts for Boston this year. With Pawtucket, Beato owns a 5-3 record with three saves, a 2.09 ERA (10 ER/43.0 IP), 18 walks, and 35 strikeouts in 26 games out of the bullpen.
Since being recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket on June 25, Snyder has appeared in 21 games for the Red Sox, including 10 starts, all at third base. The 26-year-old is 9-for-43 (.209) with three doubles, two home runs, and seven RBI for Boston. He began the season with Pawtucket, where he hit .267 (63-for-236) with 16 doubles, one triple, 10 home runs, 37 RBI, 36 runs, and 20 walks in 63 games prior to being recalled.

It probably won't, but only because of plot-device moving things along. Being a top gun pilot of mechas explains why he can adapt to entirely different ideologies so quickly, but learning sword combat is a vastly different thing altogether.

Which makes Yui perfect for him since she can help ease him out of his battle virginity. Or she could go the Trauma route and just toss him in a life and death situation but that would be too risky and she's already putting a lot of effort in Yuuya because of his talent and being kin.

That's what I said, she sees him as kin even though he was born in America he's still Japanese to her and considering that there are even less Japanese now since the BETA sacked Kyoto yeras ago in Episode 1/2 so it makes sense that she would be harder on her "kin" because they are dying out and she may not have the stomach to see one as talented as Yuuya die.

He doesn't even know his japanese half, that half walked out on him and his mother. So he has the RIGHT to not want to associate with it in anyway. So for Yui to see he has some japanese blood, and expect him to have no problem placing him self in the japanese way she sees fit isn't right. From the machine type, to his ideals on Soldier vs Warrior, to even how he acknowledges other japanese. And even with his arrogant ways, the point he brought up about machines being for veterans was a LEGIT point, but she didn't even try to hear it. For Yui, its literally "if it ain't the japanese way, it ain't the right way". That proves she's acting just as stubborn as Yuuya.

Ethnically, Yuuya is Caucasion-Japanese; by nationality, he is an American.

It isn't wrong because no matter what he's still part Japanese so Yui has every right to see him as kin and thus expects more out of him because he's kin. You know since he is a second generation Japanese American so he still has a lot of Japanese in him. Not to mention that back in America he's seen as Japanese as well. It's just the way it is in TE. If you don't like it than this isn't the anime for you.
Yuuya only hates his Japanese side because he was discriminated against by his peers because he was that Japanese boy. Had he not been groomed to hate all things Japanese than he wouldn't have any issues with Yui considering him kin which Yui most likely believes Yuuya should consider an honor. After all it is one of the reasons she takes so much interest in him while she outright ignores the rest of his team.
Are you not watching the anime? Yui even says that Yuuya wasn't expected to master it right away but she was angry that he didn't understand why he was failing to pilot it right. Than in the latest episode she reveals that she's pushing him so hard because he has ridiculously high talent which he refuses to tap because of his groomed hatred of all things Japanese which leads to her giving him a personal lesson which works.
That's National Pride. It doesn't make her wrong because as far as she's concerned the Japanese way is the best way... For the Japanese. That's why she's insulted when Yuuya tries to tell her to rework the TSF to be more American which would make it impossible for the Japanese TSF pilots to adapt on the battlefield. They don't have the luxury of learning how to pilot a different type of TSF while Yuuya, as Yui has said, does because of the blood and sacrifice of those that came before him. That and he is a test pilot and at a very comfortable place while the rest of Eurasia is in a living hell.

1. First off, statements like "If you don't like it, this isn't the anime for you," aren't productive. It may be a fact that Total Eclipse will subject us to a fair whack of pro-Imperial-Japanese, pro-Yamato Damashii-attitude drum-beating (novel readers will have a better idea). But saying "if you don't like the fact that the writers are racists, shut up and move on and stop discussing the point" isn't productive. There's nothing wrong with saying, "Man, I like the setting, the plot, and the mecha action, and most of these characters are pretty cool, but that underlying "we Japanese are awesome!!!" vibe gets in the way sometimes."
2. Secondly, there's a difference between acknowledging that racism exists and dismissing it. It's not at all unreasonable that strong nationalist feelings exist in the MLA world, given the various points. That doesn't make it less wrong, just explains why it exists.
3. Thirdly, there's a difference between racism and nationalism, as Goose pointed out. Yui's actions towards Yuuya are racist--he's judging him based on his part-Japanese ethnicity. (Frankly, given Japan's extraordinarily homogenous ethnicity, it's not surprising that nationality and ethnicity would get mixed together by a Japanese Imperial Guard.)
4. Yui's lack of interactions with the rest of Argos Flight have more to do with the fact that Yuuya's the lead test pilot--he's the one who's going to be providing the most relevant input for Japan's new TSF development--than any case of her dismissing them because they're not partly Japanese (note: that's a good thing; if she really was refusing to interact with them because they're not part-Japanese than it would raise her racist attitudes to Klan levels).
5. Even if Yuuya wasn't himself an anti-Japanese racist, he could easily still be offended by Yui's attitude, because Yui is utterly dismissing Yuuya's culture and upbringing in favor of his race--she expects him to be Japanese in the same way that she is Japanese, and that's a hellishly flawed assumption (see above about the confusion between the two coming out of an ethnically homogenous society).
*sigh* Ultimately, it really boils down to this: I really wish (yeah, yeah, I know it's a totally futile wish! ) that people would stop debating Yui-versus-Yuuya every episode. They're both deeply flawed people, they both have been right about some points and wrong about others, and they both need to have some character development to smooth out some of those bad attitudes, which it looks like they're actually starting to genuinely get. Now, if we check back in ten episodes from now and one of 'em's grown and the other is still exactly the same, well, then it might be time to rekindle the argument. But to me, what makes their conflicts interesting is the fact that it's coming out of mistakes on both sides, that there's some actual depth to it based on personal attitudes, cultural divides, and mechanical differences, that it's not just "A right, B wrong." Or in other words, there's some actual good writing going on here that makes the show worth coming back to each week, that it's not just giant robots and boobs.

What do you all think Yui was trying to teach Yuuya? I think the core hint for this is where she responds to Yuuya saying the unit is "junk" - when she brings up "jinba ittai" (horse and rider as one, or words to that effect) and hopes Yuuya would be able to appreciate that. It seems Yui is happy enough with Yuuya's skills but feels like he's about to hit a wall in his progress or that there's a factor that's slowing down his progress. Basically, though Yuuya wants to master the machine he also hates it and distrusts it - he's only seeing the negatives and not seeing the positives.
On a side note, the first time I remember hearing "jinba ittai" was when Mazda started using the phrase regarding the development of a new MX-5 / Miata
It's also interesting to consider - if Yui's so clearly capable a pilot, why couldn't she be the test pilot herself. I've posted before about why we might have a US pilot trying to learn how to pilot a new TSF designed for Japanese pilots - it's not very efficient is it. It hasn't been started in the anime so far but I'm still guessing it was at the request of the Americans involved - they may have gone so far as to refuse to co-operate unless the main test pilot was American. If the Americans' true motivation for project prominence was to learn more about foreign TSF design then they would probably be delighted when Yui offered to use her Takemikazuchi as part of a "special" training session...
On a side another note, the following thought occurred to me: it's not uncommon for the "hero" in a series to have some "grouchy old mentor" type figure to help him learn - someone the hero tends to hate or resent... Kinda seems they almost want to make Yui into such a mentor figure... then turn her into love interest

I'll just say quoted for truth - Dezo has really hit the nail in the head.
The benefits of a legal education. ;p
Regards point 4, I'd also add that Argos are serving ss chase pilots, monitoring the 94 Second, gwthering data, recording video, benchmarking, so there'd be little rewson for Yui to talk to them and get second hand info when she can talk to Yuuya and his first hand input.
Something which the show hasn't glossed over, and I'm glad it's showing, is something I mentioned a while back - there will be friction because Yui represents the end user and is the custodian of Japanese interest for XFJ, but she also needs to take into account Yuuya's comments. At the same time, Yuuya needs to understand the requirements that the Japanese want to have, but at the same time he also needs to raise any issues he finds.
It's a balancing act for the both of them, and Yuuya initially isn't taking it well at all. Going from the easy to fly F-15 and F-22 to the twitchy Fubuki and Shiranui is a challenge, and one that he's finding it hard to adjust.
Yui actually has a good idea here - since words don't seem to work, use actions instead. I wonder if she'd taken correspondence courses in the Nanoha Takamachi School of Making Friends. or she's remembering how Kazusa Yamashiro was all the cold rival before the Defeat Equaled Friendship.
It also serves to show how dangerous Yui is, given that she took down Argos flight really fast.
All in all, decent ep, and it's shaping up better than I expected. I originally intended to watch just for the mecha and cute girls in translucent bodysuits, but the character drama is engaging in its own right.
Also, regards ethnicity and nationality, I am both Indian-Chinese and Malaysian. The former is because I have parents who are racially Indian and Chinese, the latter because I am a citizen of Malaysia. The problem most people have in seperating race from nationality is that most countries tend to conflate both of those concepts, especially a racially homogenus country like Japan.
But while I hold that Angrysex - or at least a thawing of the relationship - is somewhere in the future, I think this ep made it quite clear that Yuuya is tsundere for Shiranui Second.

It needed to be said, trying to place RL views isn't going to make this anime enjoyable at all since it isn't RL(even if it's set on Earth) and has a number of changes with things that aren't okay in RL but are perfectly fine in TE. Such as National Pride that would be considered racism in RL but it isn't at all in TE.
It doesn't change that none of them see it that way. Thus to them it isn't wrong because that is how things are in TE.
Again it isn't racist to Yui and she's only like that to Yuuya because she sees him as kin thus she expects BETTER of him than anyone else.
That doesn't stop her from talking to the others since she has had plenty of chances. She doesn't even bring them up at ALL when she talks to Yuuya. Simply put she doesn't care that much about them and doesn't expect them to be anything special while she takes an interest in Yuuya because he has talent and he's kin.
Yui doesn't care about that because just like the Americans she sees Yuuya as Japanese while he says he's only American and hates his Japanese-self. If anything she most likely sees it as a compliment to him since it means she feels he's worth the time while those she doesn't feel are worth her time are outright ignored which is everyone but Yuuya and her superiors thus far.
It also goes back to National Pride and that the Japanese are a dying breed and considering that we haven't see any other Japanese at the UN base yet it's easy to see why she would latch onto Yuuya since he's the only one she believes she can familiarize herself with considering he is kin.
Your wish isn't going to happen anytime soon unless it isn't mentioned anymore in new episodes which is unlikely.

... So, destined_Fate, what you're saying is that Yui is being racist, but it's okay because in this world it's national pride.
Sorry. Given that the same scenario is currently playing out in my country - where, more and more, the politicians are defining Malaysian as being racially malay, and wnyone who isn't malay ought to be subservient to their Malay overlords, and ought to be second class citizens...
Given that this is happening in my own nation right now, do forgive me when I say that I strongly disagree with your opinion.
Bad behaviour needs to be sddressed whenever it occurs. Yui was right to call Yuuya out on his attitude in ep 4, but she's not a perfect person who hasn't done wrong.
I do hope that the anime will actually show both of them growing up.

Yuuya is a racist--he dislikes Japanese people. Yui is a racist--she thinks Japanese people are better than everyone else. Both are racist attitudes. (And whether or not Yui thinks she's being racist is completely beside the point. A Ku Klux Klansman may think his attitudes simply reflect scientific and religious fact; that doesn't make him not a racist.)
Whether it can be expected for the average person to be a racist in the setting of MLA is a different question altogether. If you lived in the United States in 1900, you could expect a majority of white people to have racist attitudes about black people (or Asians, for that matter). That's a function of the culture existing in that time and place. Similarly, I completely understand (indeed, I posted on it last week) about how the extended wartime footing the world has been on would promote ultra-nationalist attitudes which would naturally encourage the development of pro-"home"-nation bigotry in most world cultures.
It's just that, understanding where Yuuya and Yui's racism comes from does not mean that they are not racists. Actually, the setting does a good job in explaining why these two people feel what they do--like I said, above, that's good writing at work. But that doesn't change the objective assessment of what those attitudes are at the present state of the current episode.

Again you aren't understanding the point that in TE it isn't racism while in RL it would be racism. Once you have settled that you'll understand the characters much better than saying "That persons a racist because in RL that wouldn't be tolerated" yet in TE it is tolerated as "normal" and "national pride" which is quite rampant considering the Russians showing how they threat non-Russians.
Yuuya hates Japanese because that was what he was told to hate when all he wanted to do was fit in and be American. Thus he believes that if he discards his Japanese self and all things Japanese that his fellow Americans will accept him as an American.
Again you're making the mistake of using RL examples. In RL the KKK isn't tolerated at all by society yet in TE Yui's comments aren't considered racist in the least nor are Yuuya's and are tolerated by everyone else that thinks nothing of it or that it's out of the ordinary.
Society decides what is and isn't racist and in TE they don't consider those things racist while in RL our society would see them as racist.

Reduces the excessive bluishness that frequently occurs in outdoor color photography, especially in open shade under a clear, blue sky. The absorption peak is in the range which corresponds to the film's green spectrum. This means outstanding outdoor shots with superb color balance and clarity under all conditions. Also keeps skin tones free of colored reflections from nearby objects such as the shade of trees
Standard: Mono-coated on both surfaces to reduce reflected light to around 4-5%.
HMC: Hoya Multi-Coated filters have 3 anti-reflected coatings on each surface which reduce reflected light to around 1-2%
Super HMC: Super coated Hoya filters have up to 12 anti-reflective coatings which reduce reflected light to around 0.3%.
Super Pro1: Hoya Super Pro1 series filters feature super slim glass of 1mm in thickness. The Hoya Pro 1 UV and Skylight Filters are only 3mm thick. The front of the filter has front threads allowing you to use additional filters or lens hoods. Filters are Super Multi Coated on both the front and rear glass surfaces
Ultra: Filters in this series use the new ULTRA thin rings which are designed primarily to avoid vignetting problems which occur with wide angle lenses. The ULTRA series filters use rings just 3mm in thickness. HMC Multicoating is applied to both sides of the filters and they are supplied with our push-on lens caps. This means that HOYA ULTRA series filters are the ultimate choice for wide angle lenses - there is no other filter available to exceed the ULTRA specification.

The world's second largest energy company, Shell International, and the World Conservation Union (IUCN) have signed a "Heads of Agreement", a type of pre-agreement, outlining the concepts and principles for strategic collaboration. This Agreement aims at scaling up a relationship that has been ongoing since 2000.
Based on more than seven years of working together, Shell and IUCN are embarking on a closer relationship to foster collaboration at all levels and all over the world. The overall principle will be for each party to collaborate with and assist the other in the pursuit of their respective conservation-related aspirations. To that end, the relationship seeks to:
- Demonstrate joint leadership (both in the business and conservation sectors)
- Act as a catalyst to leverage change using the combined comparative advantages of both organizations: convening power, global reach and spread, and geo-political influence
- Add value to each others' organization
- Stimulate and induce change in their respective sectors.
Considering its large and growing environmental footprint and its leadership position in the energy sector, Shell will further strengthen its efforts to mainstream biodiversity conservation and to protect the environment not only in Shell company operations, but also, through its leadership role, will attempt to stimulate sector wide reforms. IUCN will support and partner with Shell in realising this aspiration.
Similarly, considering its leadership position in the conservation sector, IUCN will further strengthen its efforts to mainstreaming business skills and approaches in its operations, and in the policies and operations of its members and other partners. Shell will support and partner IUCN in realising this aspiration.
The strategic objectives of the collaboration over the next 5 years are to ensure that:
- Shell has the strategies, approaches and tools that will be necessary for it to be the conservation leader in the energy sector and sustain profitable operations over the long term
- IUCN and the broader conservation community have increased capacity and business skills, access to resources, and influence necessary to achieve a significant reduction in the loss of biodiversity
- Together, Shell and IUCN will have substantively contributed to changing the policy arena, both public and corporate, such that the world's biodiversity is better conserved and sustainably used by energy businesses working to the highest conservation standards.

Post Surgical Care
Several factors can affect an individual's ability to recover following surgery including age, medical stability, and other pre-existing medical conditions which may complicate recovery. Many if not most patients will require some care and rehabilitation following their surgery. Diversicare offers comprehensive nursing and therapy for most conditions with the added benefit of adapting our programs to the tolerance of the individual. Other settings may require that patients tolerate 3 hours of therapy per day, however that is not the case at Diversicare allowing us to advance the therapy program as a person's tolerance increases. In every case, our goal is to work with the patient on getting back to their preferred location, friends, and the activities they love.
Some surgeries that may benefit from post- surgical care and rehabilitation:
- Orthopedic surgeries including joint replacement
- Cardiac surgeries
- Neurological surgeries
- Oncology surgeries
- Other general surgeries

The Ottawa Festival is one of the most heavily scheduled events I know of; every time slot now has four events running concurrently. While that pretty much guarantees there will be something of interest every waking moment, it's also a guarantee that you miss things you'd like to see. For the record, I saw three of the five competition screenings, one of the two screenings of films for children, one of four UPA retrospective screenings, and two of the three features. I also attended two panels (one of which I spoke at) and a master class.
I've already praised Perspeolis and Golden Age. In the competition, another favorite film was Lapsus by Juan Pablo Zaramella of Argentina. It's a graphically simple film, black and white with no half-tones, where a nun confronts a dark space. The film is highly inventive and funny, doing a lot with little. You can watch a brief clip of the film here.
Zhiharka by Oleg Usinov of Russia is a fairy tale about a girl trying to avoid being eaten by a fox. The film had great humour and fantastic energy. I'm constantly amazed by the lack of timing in modern animation. This film was expertly timed and really carried the audience along as a result. If you can read Russian, you can find more about the film here. If there's a link to a clip, somebody please let me know.
The UPA screening I attended was the one dedicated to directors. I think that Bobe Cannon is underrated as an animator and as a director. His animation in Robin Hoodlum very stylish and got me thinking about what we've lost in animation. There's no shortage of original design work visible at the Ottawa Festival, but I don't think that there's much in the way of original motion. Certainly, there's little where the quality of movement itself is entertaining in the way that Bobe Cannon routinely animated. I'm pretty sure that he did the fox and the knight here as well as the fox drinking his first cup of tea.

Happy Birthday to my Sister!!!
Today is the birthday of the most lovable, kindest and beautiful sister in the whole wide world. Happy Birthday, Marge!!! How I wish she could see it personally. She lives half way around the globe and this is as close as she can see and read about it. Anyway, it's the long distance thought that counts.
The inspiration to do this project today came from my sister's special day. I would remember our birthday cakes as little girls. We were so lucky to have our mom bake our special cakes every year for the first 10 years :) The best part is, you get to pick what cake you wanted for your birthday. Come to think of it, that was pure labor of love from our mom. So I dedicate this cake project to you, mom, too!!!
I love how the flowers turned out in this project. I did NOT spray anything to make the cardstock damp nor did I use a crimper or bonefolder to distress the cardstock. I just curled the cardstock as much as I could and the paper was still pliable enough to handle and assemble the flower. It turned out sooo pretty and it looked like those sugar flowers you see in the real cake decorations. Here is the instruction for the flowers. Skip the spraying and the crimping and you'll get the exact look of my flowers on the cake. NOW that Pink Pirouette is coming back, I can use my cardstock freely with no hesitation!!! More projects to come with, Pink Pirouette... WOOOHOOO!!!
There are 12 boxes on this cake plate and my original measurements are just perfect for 8" diameter cake. The opening of the box is from the top which can be accessed by gently holding onto the flower.

I was discussing with a friend about making a calculator for my pain-in-the-ass math courses, and he recommended that: 1. If I was going to make a calculator, I should make a damn good one; and 2. I should use C++.
Being as bored as I am, I agreed. He quickly recommended that I should use void methods. Then he had to run off.
And left me completely befuddled on implementing C++ voids.
So should it be
Or am I way off? I have no clue; I tried googling, and come upon several fascinating sites comparing C to C++, but other than that I came empty handed. And yes, I have read the manual.Code:#include <iostream> void ???? { ???? }; int main() { //program stuff }
