Wow, the piano piece at the end simply made the scene/episode. Despite the fact that so little happened, as far as story development is concerned, this was one incredible episode. So, concerning the piano music in the last scene, could anyone tell if it was a variation on another piece which has been featured in the show, or is it new all together? Any ideas on what the name of it was? *Wants the sheet music. Badly.*

Ah, good ol' babblefish. Making illegible translations that often make me laugh for free! But, it does give you the general idea in the sentences that kinda make sense.

We hear "Nooo!!", "V" and Haruhi commenting on the 'dynamite boobs' and lines from the ED.
It was a interesting photo shoot lol

It is really kinda humorous how Haruhi is really "into" Mikuru's body. Sort of reminiscent of kids playing with Barbies. Anyway, it shows a lot in this ep since the photo shoot is one of the main events.
I enjoyed the rainy atmosphere, probably since it rained today. Rain and cold give a very lifeless feeling, but there is a lot of life to be had, and wonderment. The changing sequence vs bookshelf, was done well; some of Haruhi's remarks are very funny. Kyon's little journey was really relaxing, time really didn't seem to matter, it's a nice feeling.
The highlight for me was the end scenes from when Kyon wakes up. I would have to agree that the other blazer was Yuki's, though it doesn't seem likely AT ALL, but makes the most sense....
Haruhi and Mikuru were together, so if Mikuru would have covered Kyon, Haruhi would have noticed. The question is, would she remove it if Mikuru did that or leave it? I think that was mention earlier in thread. Also, didn't Haruhi say that one of the coats was hers?? Could the first overcoat on Kyon have belonged to Haruhi?
If that is the case, then the second could belong to anyone really? Perhaps Haruhi conned someone out of their coat and put both of them on sleeping boy Kyon.
It would be a really interesting thing to see a flashback or extra of that scene where everyone leaves except Haruhi, or at least I think so. She's such a powerful character, but it seems she has some fragile aspects, though usually hidden; she's so damn intriguing. last 3 min=grandness.
I could go on and on there's so much to enjoy about this story, its golden! xry

Okay I admit it. I was watching the raw of episode 11 and the subs of episode 9 at the same time...
Nagato was not reading when Kyon is in the room! She didn't turn the pages(and when Kyon wasn't in the room, she turns the page every 2 seconds)

Good find, although I'm too lazy to check it, I'll take your word for it.
Kyon can create emotion anywhere apparently Tsk tsk tsk this is turning in a harem anime
Too bad Kyon is all over Mikuru most of the time Or is that bad? Nah, looks good to me KyonxMikuru FTW!

Conclusion: Nagato likes Kyon.
Why is there no one supporting a Nagato x Kyon pairing?
No one? Then let it start from me! Go Kyon get Nagato!
ADD: Episode 9 is finished however apart from the 'shuffle' function also the 'repeat' function on my Windows Media Player is turned on. Now I'm watching episode 9 two times in a row...

Well, you know, back in episode one, the movie episode, I think I liked Yuki better (probably due to excessive Mikuru fanservice, that bunny outfit looked a bit... well... too much for first episode ) But Yuki's costume had style and it was kinda sexy the way her leg was showing in some scenes. And she was pretty and quiet.
But then, episode 2 came and Mikuru's appearance was beyond words, and she just clicked... or was it Haruhi's remark "loli with big boobs" and Mikuru being abused (I'm a sucker for maidens/damsels in distress) that swayed me? It's probably the whole moe, soft spoken package along with the rest. Well, anyway, Mikuru's my favorite

I was watching the preview and it seems like they realy like to mix episodes arond alot. It's not like i haven't noticed it before but i think that if someone don't tell me the real order of the eps i might be missing something xD
I know this is extremely late (a week after the last post to be exact) but I only finished ep 9 today so any help would be extremely helpful!

Anyways, I loved that episode. Vexx talked about European auteur cinema, but to me, this is tremendously Asian, in the best meaning you could think of. All the rest has been said, so I won't add my 2 cents, except on one last thing I wanted to ask you all.
In the end, Kyon RUNS after Haruhi. Isn't it the first time we see him hurry up?Despite the fact it's raining cats and dogs, would YOU run if you weren't in love with the girl who's holding the umbrella?
I mean, no matter the rain, I wouldn't. Literaly running after girls is a very bad idea. lol. so that's why I think Kyon is definitely in love with Haruhi. Basic but true. Forget the rain and think about how many times you ran after a girl.
In case you're wondering, yeah, I'm single now.
I'm sorry to bring up such a basic idea, as everyone is trying so hard to come up with the best conclusions they found, but I'm a basic guy, and that's what I thought while watching.
edit : I just realized the first character poll thread has been closed, and my LHFU call with it! Argh, what a shame, what a blasphemy...... *sighs...
I'll be back. Late Fans won't be silenced!^^

I liked this episode. It would have given(gives) the series a cute ending, I still need to watch episode 14 so I don't know which one is my preferrable ending.
One thing is for sure, I'm glad I decided to watch episode 11 (chronological 13) before watching this one. Otherwise the 4 laptops at the beginning might have sort of spoiled episode 11 for me.
A couple of cute Haruhi moments at the end, and Haruhi was also looking cute in her winter coat.

I was out this past Saturday doing some shopping and almost had a heart attack when I pulled up to Boxwood Interiors. Whoa! Finally! Farrow and Ball is here in Houston – miracles DO happen.
For the past two months, Boxwood Interiors on Alabama at Dunlavy has been carrying the Farrow and Ball paints. Isn't this just a beautiful site??? The best thing about F&B (besides the quality of the paint) is that their colors are so perfectly edited. There aren't a billion to wade through. I mean you either want Cooking Apple Green or you don't. Or maybe you like Fowler Pink. Myself, I'm partial to French Gray of course.
Boxwood Interiors even has the cute little tester pots so you don't have to buy the whole can. Love this.
And, they even stock the wallpaper books. Ever since David Sutherland dropped the F&B wallpaper line a few years ago, you had to call the F&B main office to get samples. NO MORE!! YEAH!!!!!
I love Boxwood Interiors, sister store to Foxglove which is right down the street.
Boxwood even put F&B Lotus wallpaper throughout the store to celebrate their arrival.
They have a great (maybe the best in town) collection of lampshades. And they even have this adorable gray wicker settee.
They carry fabulous custom upholstered furniture with humongous nail heads (the best kind!) And their pillows are tres cute.
Rows and rows of ready made pillows make decorating just a little easier – especially when you are in a hurry.
What I really love about their pillows are their sizes – many are the 26 x 26 which is my new favorite pillow size!
But, I did notice this sad sight– all the faux antique pillows with trims were hiding at the very back of the store. Trend over?? Hallelujah!
I wanted to ask for it, but I refrained. But I really, really wanted one of these cute bags.
F&B Minister Green, by Martyn Lawrence Bullard
Lime White, by Barry Dixon (whom I met last month and he is THE nicest man!!)
Sheila Bridges' dining room is in Curlish Green.
And Bridges' living room is painted in F&B Oval Room Blue.
Teresa's Green in used in this living room. That's a Michael Smith fabric on the sofa.
Ina Garten's barn is in F&B White Tie
Ballroom Blue by Farrow and Ball
Brooke Giannetti designed this bathroom in F&B Slipper Satin on the walls, and Pointing on cabinets.
F&B Light Blue on the walls, Old White on wainscot.
I am crazy over their wallpapers – they are so gorgeous. Here, Thomas Jayne used St. Antoine.
My all time favorite – Silvergate, in Grisaille.
Silvergate in a beautiful blue!
Fiona Newell Weeks used Silvergate in this entry. That mirror!!!!!!!
Two story entry with Ringwold Papers by F&B.
Tented Stripe F&B wallpaper – so wonderful in this bathroom.
I used the F&B Stripe in this bedroom for a client.

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. - The MIT men's volleyball team posted a 30-22, 30-26, 30-18 victory over nationally-ranked No. 12 Endicott College in NECVA New England action on Thursday night. With the win, the Engineers improved to 6-2 overall and 4-0 in conference play while the Gulls fell to 5-3 on the year and 2-1 in the NECVA New England division.
The first game was tightly played as it featured six ties and three lead changes. MIT opened the frame with three consecutive points, which Endicott answered with in kind. Another three-point run by the Engineers was then repeated by the Gulls. After trading points, Tech established a two-point margin (9-7). Endicott tallied three points in a row, resulting in its first lead of the game. Both sides exchanged points, netting a tie at 11. The Engineers developed a slim advantage that was narrowed to one on two occasions, the last occurring at 17-16. Tech responded with a five-point rally, helping it gain momentum to close out the game.
Unlike the opening game, MIT maintained a five-point advantage during a majority of the second stanza. The Engineers' margin eventually grew to seven (21-14), but the Gulls went on to score six of the next eight points. Following a timeout, Tech totaled three points to push its lead to 26-20. Although Endicott posted back-to-back points on two occasions, MIT was able to hold on the narrow advantage for the win.
Despite the setback, the Gulls continued to attack in the third frame as they generated a three-point run to cut their deficit to one (10-9). For the next several serves, the Engineers outscored Endicott at a rate of 2-1, which resulted in a 16-11 lead. Later on, a pair of four-point scoring sprees by Tech put the game out of reach.
Praveen Pamidimukkala totaled a match-high 17 kills as Scott Pollom and Michelangelo Raimondi contributed nine and six kills, respectively. Bob Aspell had the best hitting performance for MIT as he finished with six kills on nine attempts for a hitting percentage of .667. Ryan Dean equaled his season-high mark of 16 digs and added a team-high two aces. Pollom paced the blocking corps with five total blocks while Jordan Wan, Dean, and Aspell each tallied three. Wan also finished the night with 42 assists.
Eric Hunter posted a double-double for Endicott with 23 assists and 10 digs. Clay Ostrander tallied 12 kills, two aces, and a block while Dan Coleman notched a team-high 12 digs. George Chapell and Matt Keepin also contributed a block towards the Gulls' cause.
The next match for MIT will be on Wednesday, Feb. 4 when it travels to Newbury College.

The Right to Love
- 2 Posts
We create our own world. In forging our own world, we have brought to life so many things we never wished for. Psychopaths,(people with real social disorders) do exist, but perhaps we also created them and we have the ability and power to unmake them. Perhaps, we turned people into psychopaths because we failed to show them love. As we did celebrate Halloween some few weeks back, we ought to also ponder on another day we should aim to take just as seriously – a day for love. I am not oblivious of the fact that there is a Valentine's day, but I am proposing something more than the new 'fickleness' that Valentine's Day has been commercialized into. I am proposing a day where we show love to strangers, those around us we often ignore, people of other races, and to those living on the streets.
It is to the detriment of humanity that people are so burdened, worried, distressed and in great despair without humanistic comfort. Do we even care enough for the living anymore? The world has become so individualistic; we are all striving towards self-gain, riches, fame and treasures that do not even satisfy us.
Meanwhile around us, there are people dying – whether by bombs, guns or even suicide. What are we doing to heal the pain? Can't we have a new Valentine's Day? To set the clear distinction, another Valentine's Day, that is, yet another day just to show love with or without sex. I am proposing a day where we all go around hugging and smiling the people we see, telling them how much we care and love, it might not make a big difference but if it does comfort even a single despair soul, humanity have achieved something.
It is time we show love to people outside our comfort zone, our social class, outside our race and nationality. We all deserve love; we all ought to have the right to be loved. We can make each day a celebration, say hello to random people, hug strangers and inquire how people around us are doing!

ANNAPOLIS, Md. - MIT's water polo team opened its 2007 campaign at the Navy Labor Day Open on Saturday afternoon, dropping a 9-5 decision to defending Division III Eastern Champions, Johns Hopkins University. The Engineers also competed against Navy B in an afternoon exhibition, falling in that contest by a score of 9-6.
MIT (0-1) was led on the offensive end by Mark Artz, who showed no signs of a sophomore slump while scoring a pair of goals for the Cardinal and Gray. The Deerfield Beach, Fla., native notched 37 goals in his rookie season - good enough for third on the team - and looks set to continue to find his scoring touch this year. Junior Mike Smith-Bronstein also got his name on the score sheet for Tech, along with freshmen John Preis and Brian Gardiner, who each bagged the first tallies of their intercollegiate careers.
The Engineers, led by first-year head coach Adam Foley, matched up evenly with a powerful Johns Hopkins (1-0) side in the opening quarter, trailing just 2-1 at the break. However, a three-goal outburst from the Blue Jays in the second frame gave them a much more comfortable 5-1 cushion at halftime.
Artz was the catalyst for an early third quarter fight-back by the exuberant Engineers, scoring both of his goals in quick succession to cut Johns Hopkins' lead to 5-3. The Blue Jays once again put together three successive goals, however, to stretch their advantage to 8-3 entering the final quarter.
Although MIT outscored Johns Hopkins 2-1 in the fourth, it wasn't enough to seriously threaten the deficit, leaving the Blue Jays with the 9-5 victory.
In the afternoon's second contest, the Engineers matched up with No. 11 ranked Navy's B team in an unofficial exhibition. Despite two goals each from Preis and sophomore Devin Lewis, the Cardinal and Gray fell to the Midshipmen, 9-6.
Navy B jumped out to an early 5-0 lead and seemed comfortably in control of the match, but the youthful squad from MIT refused to back down. Tech finished strong, at one point cutting the Midshipmen's advantage to 8-5, before ultimately falling by the final score line of 9-6.
Sophomore Rob Kalwarowsky secured his first goal of the season following an impressive freshman campaign, which saw him tally 29 times, while Smith-Bronstein notched the Engineers' other goal on a five-meter attempt.
Another sensational sophomore, Nick Souza, manned the net for MIT in both games, racking up seven saves in the first match and six in the afternoon tilt. His 220 saves in 2006 was the third highest single-season total in program history.
The Engineers will rue a number of missed six-on-five chances in both contests, as they drew nine ejections against Johns Hopkins (with two conversions) and 13 against Navy B (with four conversions). MIT will have the chance to improve upon that percentage when it concludes play at the Navy Labor Day Open tomorrow, Sept. 2, with matches against Penn State Behrend at 9:10 a.m. and Pacific B at 12:40 p.m.

sbell22 needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 45 designs submitted by 7 freelance designers.
I'm looking to update my website's home page with a sharper banner and a better homepage design. I want a modernized, cleaner design with more of a 'web 2.0' look and a 1024-pixel wide banner (this will still be a fixed page-width site). The new banner will contain the three words which are the name of the company: 'B e ll Consulting Group' (see "the_bell_letter" sub-page for an example). I will set up and implement the other 9 web pages -- this site runs on the Drupal CMS, so that's mostly just uploading graphics and text for Drupal, and some minor config.
Bell Consulting Group 2008
Desired Color Scheme:
Probably blue-based, but open to suggestions - a corporate look.
Desired Style:
Corporate consulting
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff); layers and graph
This is a homepage look & feel graphic design update contest; the current website home page is w w w.b e l l c.com (spaces added to keep the search engines away from indexing this contest).
I would like to revise "The B e l l Letter" header/font similarly, it's shown along the homepage footer; and larger at the top of the_bel l_l etter sub-page). So the site will use the same "font style" for the name of the newsletter, AND the company in the new banners.
fyi, the current "bell l e tt er" font/graphic was created with a special FONT on a Mac; not sure which one. I just want to modernize the look a little - you may have a font that would work out-of-the-box.
No need to carry the stock photos into the new banner design, unless you decide to use that. web 2.0 sites seem to move away from using stock photography as much, right?
Below the banner area, the for new homepage design/layout -- no rocket science is required- just a clean/sharp look. In addition to identifying what we do, I'd like to feature excerpts from the newsletter ('B e l l Letter" and blog posts), probably in boxes. So it may come down to just a fairly standard 2 or 3 column design below the banner. The little details are probably what makes it really sharp.
The home page look should be a little less text-oriented. Looking for a clean, sharp look that's a grabber for both corporate types & entrepreneurs. I will be re-writing and improving the text on the site (including the homepage) by saturday. The contest ends on Sunday.
There will be one more link in the navigation bar (along the bottom of the banner), in the following order:
Home-Services-Bell Letter-Blog-Outcomes-News-FAQ-Contact.
The winning entry grapics need to be delivered in layered source file format.
I have run several successful Sitepoint contests before and will provide quick feedback on EVERY submission. Thanks!

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Academy Award-winning director Ang Lee believes the modest clout of the premier awards for Chinese-language films will grow as the market for such films increases.
The Taiwanese filmmaker spoke Tuesday in Taipei ahead of next week's 50th annual Golden Horse Awards, which showcases films from Taiwan, mainland China, Singapore and Hong Kong. The event is the equivalent of the Oscars, and Lee will be a juror selecting winners in 22 categories, ranging from Best Feature Film to Best Action Choreography.
Asked about Hollywood's relative indifference to the Golden Horse event, Lee says that will change as the market for Chinese films grows.
"I think in 10 years' time our market is bigger than the Hollywood market," he said. "So it comes naturally."
While the Golden Horse event is a staple for Asian film fans, with glitzy local television coverage and legions of screaming fans blanketing the award venue to get a close look at their favorite stars, it has little impact outside the region. A-list Hollywood personalities almost never attend, and few films showcased here make a splash in theaters outside of Asia.
Still, Lee said, it was not necessary for the Golden Horse Awards to do anything special to make a bigger impact in Hollywood, because "Chinese-speaking people are probably four times more than English-speaking people."
"I think as long as we're influential in the Chinese-speaking world it will prevail, it will ripple out," he said of the awards, adding that while the Golden Horse event will likely have its ups and downs "eventually, I think it will get picked up."
This year's Golden Horse awards are scheduled to be distributed Nov. 23.

Original Caricature Art
Of course these are the fanciest and have the most work in 'em
Pick your own subject (no more than 2 characters please)
I will have to sell my buttocks.
I'd love to get a caricature done! How do we get in contact with you?
I-Yi-YI! This is major! The world's funniest artist offering to do large custom marker pictures for a fraction of what they're worth...an unbelievable bargain. I have one of these, and it's my most prized possession. It completely dominates the room it's in!
Hey, just how huge are the huge custom marker renderings?
But seriously, i'm interested in one but are you able to post internationally?
email me at
firstname.lastname@example.com to start
That's it! Pass those greedy art dealers by and leave them in the dust.
John, would that pic of Mike Fontanelli and his big hairy butt count as one or two characters?
If I had you do a small portrait would it be OK if I made 1" buttons from it to give away, or would that not be OK copyright-wise? I wouldn't be selling them but I play music so it might be considered self-promotional or something. Thanks!
Beautiful one and all.
Now I must come up with a subject.
Oh Boy.
I picked up some drawings from the Kaspar Collection, thanks for putting them up for sale. Can't wait to get them in the mail.
John I really love the Spumco type font. Do you have any pictures with the whole alphabet or different styles of certain letters? The obscure and whimsy nature of them make them really personal.
Hey John, I want to send you a thanks on this very subject. You pretty much gave away dozens of doodles at the OIAF (in 2006 I think it was), and I'm forever thankful of the caricature you did of me. It's still sittin' purdy in its frame up on my wall!
I love Ren and Stimpy!!!
How big are those $500 dollar ones? I have some money I need to burn.
John, I was wondering if you are still currently using this email address? I am interested in gettiing a couple pieces from you. Let me know please.

COLUMN: Hot-N-Expensive
Little Ceasars Hot-N-Ready pizza is $5. That's $5 everywhere. Everywhere except Mount Pleasant.
Our hometown franchise charges us poor, hungry college kids $5.99 for a Hot-N-Ready pizza. For those who did as poorly in MTH 110 as I did, that's a penny away from $6. Are you outraged yet? I am.
And if these corporate money-lovers weren't shameful enough, just turn to page five of the previous edition of Central Michigan Life. There it is glaring at you, in an advertisement, no less. "Hot-N-Ready Large Pizza, $5.99."
You have got to give a hand to our local pizza establishment; it takes quite some courage to advertise that you're selling more expensive pizza than your peers. The last time I looked at the advertisement was when I was half-asleep, and instead of "Hot-N-Ready Large Pizza, $5.99," I just read "Spend an extra dollar for our pizza here!"
It really didn't change the ad that much.
Perhaps outrage is not the appropriate expression. I'm sure we're paying that extra dollar for some reason. Perhaps the pizza uses better, fresher ingredients? Perhaps the pizza is baked instead of microwaved? Maybe they apply extra pepperoni? Maybe the crust is made from imported Italian bread?
Maybe this specific branch has been endorsed by retired Gen. Colin Powell, because we as a community enjoy spending money on him.
Personally, I'm hoping that perhaps Mount Pleasant's Little Caesars has taken affection for Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory, and maybe when I'm eating my $6 Hot-N-Ready pizza, I'll find a golden ticket at the bottom of the box.
Then, I'll have the golden opportunity to visit the Little Caesars Pizza Factory and ride a barrel down a giant waterfall of tomato sauce while it rains bacon bits.
Is it a dream of mine to ride down a waterfall of tomato sauce? No, tomato sauce stains, but at least I'll be spending an extra dollar on something.
As the responsible college student that I am, who has all of his priorities in the right place, I feel it would be egregiously immoral for any of us to ignore the plight of Mount Pleasant by our local Little Caesars.
There are a lot of things I am apathetic about: my future career, my current classes, climate change, American politics, the Board of Trustees and trans fats.
But, I'll be complaining about spending an extra dollar on pizza until I reach my grave.
Or until I look at every other pizza menu in town. It's still cheaper than every other pizza in town.

Today at Esperino, we begin the first in a new interview series affectionately dubbed 'Fine Tuning'. We'll be shining the spotlight on music composers and artists working in the video gaming sphere.
More often than not, we applaud the achievements of game developers for outstanding work, but how often do we pause to reflect on the individuals behind the emotional melodies or toe-tapping beats we're listening to? Although the world in which they work is devoted to sound, these artists are often the most quiet of achievers.
It gives me great pleasure to introduce our first Fine Tuning interviewee, Music Composer and Producer Rich Vreeland, aka Disasterpeace.

The other day I mentioned this rifled gun currently resting outside the Old Powder Magazine in Charleston, South Carolina:
There is little doubt as to the weapon's vintage. The royal monogram on the top is that of either King George II or King George III . In other words, likely a weapon that pre-dated the Revolution and therefore the United States.
The gun appears to have several bands welded together. Such was common practice among Confederate shops, both in Charleston and Richmond.
However the knob was removed from the gun, either during the alterations or later handling.
The gun's muzzle remained unaltered.
A look down the bore shows the other alteration done by the Confederates – rifling.
I count seven grooves, but with all the deterioration that's more of a guess. The bore is a bit larger than standard 12-pdr gauge. But that may be explained by the machining required for rifling.
Also at the Old Magazine is a similar 12-pdr that remained, at least on the exterior, unaltered.
The breech of this gun retains the knob and ring. Although proper fitting for naval use, the practice from the 18th century into the 19th century called for similar fittings on seacoast guns.
An obstruction blocks the bore. So while certainly not "banded" this gun could be "rifled" … or not.
Neither gun has trunnions. Those may have been broken off to disable the guns or damaged during handling. Since markings on the trunnions often provide additional details of the gun's origin, that leaves a gap in the precise identification.
The guns measure around nine and a half feet long. That places them in the 34 cwt class for the caliber. While comfortable identifying Civil War artillery, I'm more of a dabbler when it comes to colonial era weapons. So I'll save the exact designation for those who know that time period well. However, the tally of a "12-pounder old English siege (rifled)" in the list of guns at Charleston in January 1863 certainly makes this a Civil War piece. In April of that year, another report indicated one 12-pdr "Old English siege, rifled, banded" and four "Old English siege, rifled, not banded" were among the weapons deployed in the Department of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.
Apparently the Confederates found modification of these old guns acceptable. On August 15, 1863, one of the unbanded but rifled guns was sent back to the Charleston Arsenal to receive a band. At the same time a smoothbore of the same type was at the arsenal, presumably for modification. The old English 12-pdrs appear again in correspondence dated that October, with favorable mention from Colonel Ambrosio J. Gonzales:
The rifled 12-pounder gun [Major John Barnewll] mentions at Royal's is very old, but reported as a very good gun. It is one of those long 12-pounder English siege guns, recommended by me to the commanding general to be banded, which was then approved.
So at least the artillery chief and his commander, General P.G.T. Beauregard, saw value in the old guns. At the time, the ordnance officers may have held these guns in higher esteem as they were cast using older methods. The "hot blast" techniques introduced in the 19th century left many questions about iron guns. In some eyes, the "older" guns were indeed "better". These guns, perhaps veterans of earlier wars, were therefore selected for modification – rifling, and in some cases banding.
While not anti-ironclad guns, they were dispersed to the outer fortifications around Charleston to cover waterways and other approaches to the city. Proving once again even an old gun can have some "bite" left in it.

I'm in lower mainland BC, Canada. I was stuck up at the university for a couple of hours today, because it was snowing pretty heavily and buses were cancelled. So, everyone rushed there to pick people up, which with the snow and ice, caused a few accidents. It was very chaotic. Yeah, that only happened because my uni's at the top of a mountain. Everywhere else was only partially snowing, or some drizzle. =P

I'm from TO too. At least we only got snow here. I had to drive west to K-W for a job fair, and the round trip took like 6 hrs. It wasn't only snow over there - it was sleet and hail. =_=
On that note, going back out to shovel.

Not to sound cynical, but welcome to weather cycles.
Our planet's system of weather fluxuates. It's just the way it operates. Regardless of whether the planet's overall average temperature increase is a small blip on the radar or whether it is the beginning of a larger, long-term trend (and regardless whether it is natural or the fault of man), weather patterns will change over the long-term and short-term. Some times will be hotter and some will be colder, some weather harsher and some smoother. It's rare and unlikely that we can point at a weather anomaly such as one snow storm or one season's trend in an area and attribute it to such a wide cause, much as it is hard to say that a water drop exiting a river through a certain outlet is the fault of any one condition of the river it traveled down.
If the weather was ever completely predictable and steady, it was... well, probably never.

So, by Occam's Razor:
CO2 -> Global Warming
Weather was never predictable or steady, but on what scale are you talking here? Geological time? From a human POV, the weather is indeed relatively stable, due to our short time on Earth.

Isolated incidences prove nothing but Global Warming is real. There is nothing to say that hasn't already been said again and again in the Global Warming thread. But if you want to put your own media-spin-enhanced gut feeling bolstered up with vacuous platitudes about the nature of nature above the statements of pretty much everybody on this planet who has studied climate science for many, many years, then go ahead.

You can moan on the supposed super apocalyptic effect if you want.

I was referring to the time period of a human lifetime. It's a "$#!^ happens" explanation: Whether or not global warming exists (and I'm not saying it's not) and whether or not man caused it (which I'm merely skeptical of), we're going to have shifting weather from season to season, with the "biggest snow storm in Toronto since 1998" being the example here. Because of this constant variation with so many influences we can't point to an isolated event and say "this is because of (insert global weather trend here)", especially when there was a similar event a decade ago. Perhaps one day our weather model will be good enough to make such far-reaching connections, but today it is not. In other words, there's little point in discussing global warming in relation to this event.
Simply saying that "we've released CO2, and CO2 can cause [the greenhouse effect]" is oversimplifying things and ignoring many other factors. Nonetheless, my purpose was to avoid global warming discussion here, which is really my preference, since like all other politics people love choosing sides. You'll find none of that with me: I'm skeptical of the findings of human activity being the primary cause, but believe we should be reducing our emissions anyway (perhaps it is the Boy Scout in me). That earns me ire from both sides, hence my preference to avoid the debate. Doubly so since there's a thread for that already.

Yeah, sorry, I wasn't really attributing the storm to global warming, just a little surprised that so many still do not believe that we are influencing the weather, towards an apocalyptic conclusion or not.
Northern California has also experienced it's biggest storm since the late 90's, could they be the same one? Another huge storm just passed by, not sure if it's enroute to Canada or not, it took the storm two weeks to blow over.

The storm was bad but not as bad as the one we had about a month or two ago. The restaurant where I work closed early last night as a result, like 8:30 instead of 11:00 though. It was interesting just trying to get home and having no idea where the sidewalk was. I bet it happens again in just a couple more weeks.

This storm isn't necessarily indicative of global warming. In engineering we learned that there are some theories behind design of systems. I specialized in civil/environmental engineering, and water management was a big issue. On the subject of how to deal with rain storms, we learned something rather interesting.
When one designs a system, most people think that it should be designed as strong as possible. But how much is too much? The sturdier the system (the greater its capacity, in the case of storm drains) the more it'll cost, and its maintenance may also be higher than a lower-level system. Instead, engineers created charts and graphs. There were concepts such as a 20-year storm, 50-year storm, and the 100-year storm. The concepts were derived from data gathered from the environment. The basic idea was that every 20 years there would be a storm of a certain magnitude, every 50 years there would be an even worse storm, and every 100 years there would be a gargantuan storm. It's not really practical to design for a 100-year storm as it'd happen so infrequently. And who knows - perhaps a newer, more capable system would come up before it came.
If these unusual storms occur more often, attribute it to global warming. Otherwise, congratulations - you may have just experienced your first 10- or even 20-year storm.

Parents warned about bats at elementary school
Parents warned about bats at elementary school
Parents have been warned about a bat problem that has recurred at an Upstate elementary school.
The Greenville County School District used the automated calling system to notify Fountain Inn Elementary parents about the bats.
News 4 was told bats were seen Thursday morning and night coming and going through the gym's exterior walls.
School officials believe the bats ate through foam sealant to gain access. They said no bats have been seen inside the building.
A pest control company has been called in to remove the bats, and provisions have been made to close all the entrance points using concrete and wire, according to officials.

Things have changed in the best of ways for George Clooney since TV viewers first noticed him as the sixth banana on "The Facts of Life," since he gained star status as hunky Dr. Ross on "ER" and since he jumped to leading roles in successful movies with "Out of Sight" and as a feature director with "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind."
Clooney's newest double-dip project as actor-director is "The Monuments Men," the based-on-fact tale of a group of American and British art experts who, with the blessings of President Franklin Roosevelt, traveled to Germany in the midst of WWII in an attempt to save some of the world's great works of art from theft by the Nazis and accidental destruction by Allied forces. The film also features Matt Damon, Bill Murray, Cate Blanchett, John Goodman and Hugh Bonneville. Clooney spoke about it last month in Los Angeles.
"The Monuments Men" deals with a serious issue, but manages to do it in a somewhat light way. Was that your plan from the start?
We were not all that familiar with the actual story, which is rare for a World War II film. Usually you think you know all the stories. We wanted it to be accessible. I like those John Sturges films ["The Great Escape," "The Eagle Has Landed"]. And we liked the story. We thought of it as sort of a mix between "Kelly's Heroes" and "The Train." We wanted to talk about a very serious subject, that's still ongoing, and we wanted to make it entertaining. That was the goal.
How were the characters developed?
We changed the names of the characters because we wanted to give some of them some flaws for entertainment purposes, for storytelling purposes. You don't want to take somebody who's real and heroic, and give them a drinking problem. That's not really fair to do. So we changed the names because we wanted to be able to play with the story some. But they're all based on real men. There was a hundred of them eventually. They went to Italy and did the same thing. But they're based on real people all the way through.
What do you feel the impact of the film will be?
A lot of this art has been found and is in other people's homes or in museums. There's a generation who believe they've lost 25 million people, and to the victor goes the spoils, and they believe in keeping it. But it seems to be getting more towards returning it to the rightful owners. Sometimes it's tricky because it's very hard to raise sympathy for someone named Rothschild, who had the largest private collection, because people think, well, they're pretty wealthy and it's not such a big deal, although of course you want it to be returned. It is a long process, and it is a continuing process. Quite honestly it's also about looking at the loss of artifacts and art that's going on in Syria right now. It's understanding how important the culture is to each of these countries, and trying to find a way to get them back. So if this raises some awareness, and opens up some discussions on it a little bit, I think that's really helpful.
Since you started directing films, you've done one, almost like clockwork, every three years. Have you been keeping to some kind of schedule?
The timing for directing is usually because it takes that long to develop a piece and do pre-preproduction and postproduction. That takes at least a couple of years. I prefer directing to doing other things. I think directing and writing seem to be infinitely more creative.
What's the difference between the George Clooney who directed "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" and "The Monuments Men?"
You know, all you're trying to do is learn from people that you've worked with. I've worked with the Coen brothers and Steven Soderbergh and Alexander Payne. I've worked with really great directors over the years. So you try to see what they're doing and then just steal it (laughs). That's the theory. You go, 'Oh, I like that; I'm gonna do it that way.' So the truth is, you hope your development is the same way as everything: You succeed some, you fail some, and you keep sluggin' away at it. I really enjoy it, it's fun. I like it more than acting now. It's tricky directing yourself, obviously. But I enjoy directing. I don't know whether it's improving or not, but it's certainly evolving in different directions.
"The Monuments Men" opens Feb. 7.

Not really anyone's fault, the viewership is just taking a cynical turn. Remember when the era of Hulkamania, white-hatted good guys ended, and the anti-heroes like Austin were cheered? All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again.

You can blame both. Cena and Sheamus come out joking and it undermines their respective bad guys, and you want to see them beat up those stupid clowns. Cena has the clout to say that stupid shit.
Then there's stuff like Big Show vs two guys. Yeah he's gigantic but he's still at a disadvantage.
And like I said the other day, you have Lawler cheering on these supposed good guys just adds to the irritation. And you see the bad guys as underdogs.
by misac » Thu Apr 18, 2013 12:37 pmSaw Main Event again, show started with the battle royal. I like most of the guys but when I saw who was in it I just thought, what a sad fucking sight. Justin Gabriel won and had a good match against Barrett later in the show.
Also saw ROH from last week. Really good show, great match with Bobby Fish vs Eddie Edwards. I like the story of them hating each other hear but having to team up in Japan. Mark Briscoe won a TV Title shot for the next PPV.

I think that a big part of the problem right now is that you have a guy like John Cena who, in the ring as a character has become stale and boring but can't grow or develop because of the things that he does outside of the ring. As fans and adults, we know that they don't want to pull the trigger and turn Cena heel because of all the hard work that he does for charities and children. Children still love him because they are told to love him because he has loud, colorful t-shirts, and he makes them laugh by making fun of him opponents. Kids make their parents buy his shirts and his merchandise and that makes the WWE money. As long as the kids keep buying into the SuperCena character I'm afraid that we, the fans, are stuck with him. Frankly, in my opinion, that sucks.
People cheer for guys like CM Punk even though they are heels, because they are constantly growing and developing. Even if we may not like some of the things that they are doing, we appreciate the fact that they are trying something new. Just look at what happened when Dolph Ziggler won the World Heavyweight title, people went crazy! This is a big reason why I think that CM Punk easily got the better of The Rock leading up to the Royal Rumble. While The Rock came out and did his same old song and dance routine, basically coming out sounding like a schoolyard bully, CM Punk refused to stand there and take it.
by misac » Fri Apr 19, 2013 12:08 pmAnyone watch Impact?
Taz was so terrible in the Angle handicap match. He said a lowblow was ok cause Angle is so good and those goofballs are so bad. I get a heel trying to justify it but that was fucking stupid. What a bonehead!
Promo between Bad Influence and Roode/Aries fun.
Woman's match was pretty good. Played like they had been feuding for a while, wish they were used more than Velvet Sky. Mickie James looked kind of thin. More than usual I guess.
by Eric Ratcliffe » Sun Apr 21, 2013 3:03 amI'm watching the Best of smackdown dvd set, the majority of the stuff and the matches picked are really well done.
I also realize that I miss the old color commentator version of Cole. He needs his enthusiasm back.
by Punchy » Sun Apr 21, 2013 8:39 amSmackdown was really good this week, even though it had no Dolph Ziggler.
Jack Swagger and Alberto Del Rio had another very good match, that may have even been better than their Wrestlemania one. It was really aggressive, and the constant-reversals work a lot better for two wrestlers who have submission finishers than it does for guys like Rock or Cena. I am very much looking forward to the 3-way match at Extreme Rules, although, is a Triple Threat really that 'extreme'? They should at least make it a falls-count anywhere match.
Fandango kicked the crap out of Santino, which was fun, I'm still all aboard the Fandango train, and Santino may be stupid, but he's funny and you need funny guys to lighten things up a little. Plus, his outright comedy was a good contrast for Fandango, a character who is just this close to becoming goofy as hell, but somehow manages to still be taken seriously. His skeezing on the ring announcer was great.
The mixed-tag match was kind of stupid, but I did like that they bothered to have a reason for it to happen (Primo, Epico and Rosa stole Khali, Hornswoggle and Natalya's parking space), most weeks it would just happen for no reason. I also like how Hornswoggle was driving the car.
Barrett Vs Kingston was a match I didn't want to see after their lengthy feud over the IC title in the autumn, but it was OK, it's weird that Kofi is back to kicking ass after 2 months of losing in 3 seconds to the Big Show or whatever, and it annoys me that Barrett ALWAYS FUCKING LOSES when he's supposed to be champion, but the match was good. Hopefully Wade will get a big hometown win in London next week.
Speaking of London, The Shield's video was great, I hope the match with Team Hell No and Undertaker actually happens and we don't get swerved out of it.
Mark Henry and Big Show absolutely fucking creamed Orton and Sheamus, it was glorious, brutal destruction and I loved it. Give those two the tag-team titles now! They would crush all who came before them.
by Juan Cena » Sun Apr 21, 2013 8:45 am
I expect the Shield/Taker&THN match to be a no contest. I'm doubting that The Sheild are gonna lose on RAW before the PPV.

Yukon-Koyukuk Center
The center provides educational services, including local and audio conference courses, financial aid information and other student support to a total of nine communities located along the Yukon and Koyukuk River systems. Approximately 73 percent of the population is Alaska Native, predominantly Athabascan. It is dispersed over a geographical area in excess of 60,000 square miles. Air travel is the only means of transportation in this region, because none of the communities are accessible by road. The area is generally characterized by high unemployment. However, there is a growing interest in Construction Trades Technology, Tribal Management, Eco-tourism, Rural Human Services, and Alaska Native Language instruction.

Dutch accessories manufacturer Mujjo has released a new and improved range of gloves designed to work with the capacitive touchscreens used on smartphones, tablets and touchscreen computers.
While we thought the original Mujjo gloves were warm enough and fitted enough for Australian conditions and Australian hands, the company boasts it tested "different shapes and sizes on numerous hands" to find the best design and shape.
"Miles of yarn" was tested to find a fabric that would not pill. Every part of the Mujjo gloves' fabric is woven with a silver-covered nylon strand that conducts human skin's natural capacitance, so all fingers or surfaces of the glove can be used with a touchscreen.
The new gloves will be available worldwide on November 12, with five colours to choose from: the original silver-yarn-spun black, as well as grey, sandstone, lavender and pink.

MOVIE REVIEW- Getting colder: Third <i>Ice Age</i> no match for the first
The foolishness of wasting millions on celebrity voices for animated films (with occasional exceptions like Robin Williams in Aladdin) was demonstrated in the first two Ice Age movies. Sure, audiences loved the characters voiced by Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, and Queen Latifah; but their unanimous favorite was Scrat, a squirrel who never spoke. He was the best thing about Ice Age and the only good thing about Ice Age: The Meltdown.
Now comes Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, which is to the study of life on Earth what Year One is to the Book of Genesis. If Scrat doesn't stand out quite as much this time, it's probably because his shtick is getting as old as everyone else's.
Like a sweeps episode of a series, DoD revolves around the birth of a baby– in this case a baby mammoth to Manny (Romano) and Ellie (Latifah), who were hoping to save their species in the second movie.
There are three other births first, when three dinosaur eggs hatch under the guidance of their adoptive "mother"– Sid the Sloth (Leguizamo). Well, he was feeling envious of Manny's family when he fell into a cave and found the eggs, and it's finders keepers– at least until the real Dino Mama comes along.
Also feeling alienated from the chosen family they call a "herd" is Diego the Saber-tooth Tiger (Leary), who's losing his edge and can't catch defenseless animals the way he used to.
Soon, everyone is on the way to rescue Sid from his dinosaur captor, who has spared his life because her kids look on him like an uncle or something. From their own world, refrozen since the meltdown, the herd follows tracks to what looks like The Land before Time, populated with dinosaurs, pterodactyls and such– the "Ice Age" version of retro.
Their self-appointed guide to this lost world is a one-eyed weasel named Buck(minster) (Simon Pegg). He's the new guy in this movie, so he gets the best lines, some of them mildly suggestive ("I once turned a T. Rex into a T. Rexual") and others making a good case for not reviving vaudeville. Buck tells Sid's friends the dinosaur they're seeking isn't the biggest of her kind. That would be his nemesis, the fearsome Rudy, who was responsible for the loss of his other eye.
The struggle for survival is indicated without excessive violence in several action scenes that distract from mostly lame dialogue sequences. As for Scrat, for whom executive producer Chris Wedge provides the sounds, he's got his own subplot in mini-toons that occasionally cross paths with the main characters: Scrat finds a female with an acorn and can't decide which he desires most.
The squirrels do a mating dance or several to the tune of Lou Rawls' "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine," while the prevailing theme of the rest of the movie is Queen Latifah's redo of the Was (Not Was) song "Walk the Dinosaur," which becomes almost as annoying as "Who Let the Dogs Out?"
The 3-D (in select theaters) is unexceptional, applied primarily to the main characters. The backgrounds, while they may be on a few planes, are mostly as flat as the jokes. There's not a lot of gimmickry. Most of the depth goes back from the screen rather than projecting out into the audience.
"Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" may be marginally better than the second part of the trilogy but is still no match for the first. With thousands of years left to cover, there's little hope that the bunk stops here, but we can hope they find writers with fresh ideas for Episode Four. This one's a pale shadow of what dino-might have been.

Liverpool is reportedly set to step up their efforts to sign Inter Milan playmaker Wesley Sneijder during the January transfer window, as the Dutchman's protracted move to Galatasaray stalls.
Sneijder appears destined to leave Inter Milan before the transfer deadline, and had looked set to join Galatasaray after the Turkish club agreed a fee of €10 million for his signature.
However, according to Goal.com, Liverpool is now back in the race to sign Sneijder as Brendan Rodgers strives to bring further reinforcements to Anfield before the close of the window.
Sneijder reportedly would rather a switch to the Premier League than a transfer to Turkey and is holding out for move to England as Liverpool prepares a financial package to tempt the 28-year-old to Merseyside.
Liverpool, it is claimed, held talks with Sneijder's representatives on Monday and could afford to meet the demands of the player after freeing up the wages of Nuri Sahin and Joe Cole.
Sahin left Liverpool only halfway through his loan from Real Madrid - joining former club Borussia Dortmund - while Cole had his contract terminated, and was allowed to sign for West Ham.

What started as a piece of fan art which by it's own merit gained it's own fans the creator, Hipnox, decided to take it further. The plan is to make a brand new zed for Killing Floor, a female flesh pound, who is not only aesthetically different but has it's own behavioural functions to set it apart from her male counterpart. Thus, the fan art became concept art and in time a full 3D model had been made and textured. Now all that is left is the animations and implementation.
