A central problem in the investigation of material properties involves the examination of the underlying blocks that aggregate to form macroscopic bodies. These underlying blocs own a definite arrangement that is repeated in three dimensions to give the crystal structure. We will try to explore the geometry of some well known class of materials (e.g., diamond, zinc-blende, wurtzite etc,) and learn techniques of identifying planes (Miller indices) and directions in these crystal structures. Finally, we will see that the crystals are provided with a certain symmetry which is reflected in their physical properties.

Once again, state legislators and the national media have turned their attention to the UW System. This time, their fiery gaze has zeroed in on UW-Eau Claire.
Over the summer, RAs who led Bible studies during their off-hours were contacted by Associate Director of Housing and Residence Life Deborah Newman and informed that they are not permitted to hold the Bible studies in their dorm rooms. The decision has been furiously condemned by numerous Wisconsin legislators and the Philadelphia-based Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.
For all the attention given to Eau Claire, they are not the only institution with this kind of restriction. Many, including the Madison campus, have a similar rule.
We strongly disagree with this policy.
We feel that the decision to ban religious and political activities limits the free expression and association rights of resident assistants. RAs are, first and foremost, students of the university and as such should enjoy all the benefits of being a student.
The policy puts an unfair burden upon this particular subset of students and treats them as if they were full employees of the university — all this despite Supreme Court rulings clarifying that students do not surrender their rights when they accept an institutional stipend, as resident assistants do.
Furthermore, this policy is detrimental to the educational mission of a great university. Part of the experience of being a student is the chance to be exposed to a wide variety of belief systems, to experiment and to cast aside ideas that do not fit. By prohibiting RAs from acting on their views, the university blocks an avenue of exploration for many residents.
We believe the UW System is best served by allowing the greatest number of voices to be heard. Making a few students temporarily "uncomfortable" is no reason to stop the free flow of ideas.
However, knowing that some ideas and beliefs may make residents pause, RAs should make every effort to ensure that their residents are comfortable and that they feel free to talk to the RA despite religious or ideological differences.
It incumbent on the UW System to respect the free exchange of ideas, but RAs must also respect those around them and not inadvertently force their ideas on residents. It's a fine line, but one that's worth walking.

Fashion Meets Function: White Cast Iron Dutch Ovens
I'm certainly not quiet about my love for white kitchens and that includes the items in my cabinets too. I've been dreaming of purchasing a cast iron Dutch oven for quite some time and obviously, it's going to be white.
The confusing and somewhat frustrating aspect of wanting a white cast iron pot is the lack of options on the market. As you can see, I found just four, two from the same brand. They're no less pricey than their colorful counterparts, but it's safe to say that these are still only worth the money.
So, why aren't there more white Dutch ovens? Not all of us want to infuse Tuscan Chic into our kitchens, so colors such as Cobalt, Cherry and Cassis aren't exactly what I'm looking for.
What do you think of white cast iron pots and Dutch ovens?

Red Wings aim for third straight over Bluesby Brian Hunter
BLUES (6-5-1) at RED WINGS (7-4-1)
Last 10: St. Louis 4-5-1; Detroit 6-3-1
Season series: Fourth of five meetings between these Central Division rivals; the final one won't come until early April. After St. Louis cruised past Detroit on opening night, the Red Wings have evened up the aggregate score with a two-goal win and a four-goal victory. Henrik Zetterberg is the offensive leader in the series with three goals and six points.
Big story: These teams have proven since the season opener that it's easy to get carried away by first impressions. In the first game of the post-Nicklas Lidstrom era, the Red Wings looked like a club that would have trouble challenging for the Stanley Cup Playoffs this season, while the Blues appeared a runaway train set to rampage through the Western Conference again. There's still three quarters of the season to go, but the fortunes of both have turned in the ensuing weeks.
Team Scope:
Blues: A big sigh went up Monday when it was assumed St. Louis was getting goalie Jaroslav Halak back in the lineup against Los Angeles, but then the Blues scratched him prior to the game with what's believed to be a re-aggravation of the groin injury that had him on injured reserve. Brian Elliott got the nod instead and the Blues went down to their fifth straight defeat, 4-1 at the hands of the Kings. A power-play goal by Alexander Steen late in the second period was all their offense.
"This was the homestand from hell," coach Ken Hitchcock said after the Blues went 0-3-1 during the extended run at Scottrade Center. "We lost our goalie, we didn't play as well and now we've got to take this onto the road and we've got to be much more accountable for each other. We don't compete at a high level for 60 minutes and we pay the price because of it."
Red Wings: Halfway through a four-game homestand of its own, Detroit happens to be enjoying the results so far. The Red Wings have taken the first two at Joe Louis Arena and enter on a three-game winning streak overall. They can thank Jimmy Howard for Sunday's 3-2 win over the Kings, with some late help from Jonathan Ericsson. Howard made 37 saves in the first two periods alone, 45 for the game, and Ericsson answered a late L.A. tally by scoring with 4.5 seconds left in regulation.
"If you watched that game, I think you'd say Howie stole that one for us, no doubt about that," defenseman Niklas Kronwall said.
Who's hot: Blues defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk has four assists in the last three games and 12 for the season, tied for fourth in the NHL and first among blueliners. … Zetterberg has six assists in the last four games and 13 for the season, tied for the League lead. Pavel Datsyuk has goals in consecutive games.
Injury report: Halak remains day-to-day for St. Louis, while forward Jamie Langenbrunner is set to undergo hip surgery and is likely out for the season. … Detroit forward Todd Bertuzzi (back) is day-to-day. Goalie Jonas Gustavsson (groin), defensemen Carlo Colaiacovo (shoulder) and Brendan Smith (shoulder) and forwards Jan Mursak (collarbone), Mikael Samuelsson (groin) and Darren Helm (back) are on injured reserve.

Roll out the red carpet, all the way down to the bottom of the sea, for the first Coppice Halifax album ever laid to the vinyl format, High Hawaiian Fog. Six dense constructions of seawater and sand, etched into two black sides, recalling influences such as GAS, Casino Versus Japan, The Caretaker and even Brian's work as Milieu. Soaking wet reverbs gloss softly over creaking, rusty chords that bend and sway beneath the compressed pressure of an airtight bass drum. Light flecks across the surfaces like glitter and textures dance and play inside the slow-motion underwater beauty pageant for mermen and maids on opiates. This is womblike psychedelic techno made by scraping the bones of Stravinsky, Satie, Mussorgsky, Smetana, Debussy and Delius across drum machines on a plush carpeted dancehall, long since overgrown and forgotten by the sea on a silent cruise liner's wreckage. Sunny and sad music for your hi-fi and subconscious.

1976 Toyota Land Cruiser - 2005 Top Truck ChallengePosted in Top Truck Challenge: 2005 on November 1, 2005
The Blue Ox
Hailing from Piedmont, Oklahoma, is Phil Bargman and his long-wheelbase 1976 Land Cruiser, affectionately dubbed, the "Ox." The Land Cruiser is an exceptional foundation for a Top Truck, but this one is even better, having been built by Phil's very own hands. Phil is very appreciative that he has been chosen to represent Toyota fans everywhere and promises his Ox will hold its own in this year's Top Truck Challenge.
The Ox stands proud on 46-inch Mickey Thompson Baja Claws. Diamond-plate armor and Speed Liner spray-on coating fends off rock strikes, while dual Warn 9000i winches can yank this FJ out of trouble.
Supporting the front of the Ox is a Dana 60 sporting an ARB Air Locker, with 4-inch lift springs in a spring-over conversion with Rancho RS 9000X shocks. An AGR gearbox and steering-assist cylinder point the big Mickeys wherever Phil wants to go.
Unlike any Land Cruiser we have ever seen, this FJ has a trick rear airbag suspension with 6x23-inch bags mounted on top of a Detroit-Locked GM 14-bolt with a single pivot ball and Panhard bar. Dual Rancho shocks keep it all in check. Phil says the rear axle has been moved back about 24 inches.
Turn the key and you'll hear the sound of power coming from under the hood. Once the heart of a Chevrolet Camaro, the L98 350ci V-8 sings through a single Flowmaster muffler.
The stock dash has been removed, in its place is an aluminum dash filled with the Auto Meter gauge catalog. Nissan Pulsar seats are much more supportive than the stockers ever were, and a Grant steering wheel allows Phil to become one with the Ox.

Ground was broken for Beth Shalom of the Blue Hills, a new synagogue to be built in Milton.
The summer solstice sun beamed through a leafy canopy 100 feet overhead. Below, ground was broken for Beth Shalom of the Blue Hills, a new synagogue to be built on land donated by Marvin and Andrea Gordon in Milton.
The new entry road's name, Shoolman Way, will honor Samuel and Bertha Shoolman, the first Jewish residents of Milton and grandparents of Marvin Gordon. Generations ago they operated a kosher dairy farm on land they owned since 1920.
Poetic words by family members, temple leaders and government officials were stirring, but it was the presence of more than 200 folks of different faiths and backgrounds that spoke profoundly of support for spiritual diversity in Milton, led earlier by the unanimous vote of the Milton Planning Board to move forward with construction.
The Gordons donated 1.9 acres and the temple will be 6,000 square feet.
Andrea Gordon shrugged off any praise.
"The land was there and the survival of the Jewish community in Milton is uppermost in our minds," she said.
The outpouring of support was very emotional for her. She had just returned from visiting Odessa, Ukraine, where 2.2 million Jews had been deported or killed during the Holocaust.
"I sort of got weepy because of the contrast of where I was on June 5," she said.
A permanent site is a huge relief for temple members who have demonstrated unity and determination while searching for a new home. Ada Rosmarin, chairman of the building committee, said, "People hold together the congregation, not the bricks and mortar."
The congregation's former building on Blue Hill Avenue had become too large for its current 130 families, a decrease from the 500 families during its heyday in 1949. For the last three years, temple services, studies and administration were held in different places, such as Milton High School and the First Congregational Church in Milton. Over 50 new locations were considered, but the congregation wanted to stay in town.
Last year, Temple Shalom of Milton and Temple Beth-El of Quincy merged to create Beth Shalom of the Blue Hills. Rabbi Alfred Benjamin said, "It will be the only time in our lives to build a shul (a temple)." Lila Rosenbaum, a past temple president, described its future home as a place to "worship, study and perform acts of loving kindness."
At the moment of creation, members of the Gordon and Shoolman families wearing yellow hardhats dug up the first shovelfuls of earth. More lines of diggers made up of leaders and supporters symbolized a community working together. So much remains to reach a $1 million goal even as construction begins soon.
Shofars heralded the coming of the new temple to the four corners of the earth. A shofar is a ram's horn trumpet used by the ancient Hebrews in ceremonies and in battle.
Rabbi Benjamin explained that a temple traditionally faced east toward Jerusalem, and that temple windows are required to symbolize an outreach of good acts toward the world. Amid joyous music, the community refrain lingered in the air, "Build for me a sanctuary and I will dwell among them" (Exodus 25:8).

It's a 50 minute tour on a jeep tram, so there is very little walking. They allow one dog on each jeep tour so you may have to wait a tour or two. There are picnic tables outside to eat at if you bring your own basket and some hiking trails.
DogFriendly.com, with tens of thousands of places listed to take your dog to, will be releasing on it's Dog News blog, Facebook page and on Twitter a list of 200 Top Places that you can take your dog in the U.S. and Canada. This list, while intended to highlight top places that are especially pet-friendly, is not designed to be the absolutely top 200 places that we could find, but a sampling of the top places so that all regions, types of attractions, hotels, B&Bs, vacation rentals, parks, beaches, shopping and more can be considered. No doubt each of you will find many other places not on this list or our full list of dog-friendly places at http://www.dogfriendly.com. Please let us know about them by commenting on the blog or emailing us at email@example.com.

The Freedom's targeting system is likely visual confirmation in nature, while most long-range stuff is screwed up because of N-jammers--Earth's covered in them, and standard space protocol is to activate onboard jammers to cripple the enemy's communications and sensor arrays. That's likely how the Freedom keeps sneaking up on everyone.

( That is the entire reason why they made new dragon-system that can be use by anyone for Legend.)
and about how he can sneak....who know? maybe side effect of N-jammer? or he have stealth system

I belive he meant the regular Freedom's Targetting system, not the Strike freedom ones (correct me if im wrong here Winter) used for the Rainbow Grunt massacre attacks.
The New dragoon system that the Legend used is used by the Akatsuki and S-Freedom aswell(And the Chaos?), albeit with different names if i recall

Only the Chaos, Legend, and Strike Freedom used it.
It's completely unknown what the Akatsuki used, but it's doubtful that it's any DRAGOON system given the time its production started (usually said to be mid-SEED or so). Something similar, but something originating from Orb most likely.

Could be true, seeing how Mwu pilots it and he is one of the few characters with spatial awareness, was it confirmed if it used the Old or New OS though?
i mean, software updates could've been put in place, but its a moot point to talk about really.
|2011-12-19, 22:01

It could've simply been a completely different system.
Considering the DRAGOON System in general wasn't developed until near the end of the war (first appearing on the Dreadnought Gundam and then the Providence), I doubt Orb got their hands on it during that period to be able to copy it or use it themselves, so most likely is using their own type of system that anyone can use. We never got to see if Cagalli could use it because she was using the Akatsuki on Earth while its Shiranui Pack with the remote units is only for space use.
They couldn't even initially get their hands on Phase Shift Armor or Mirage Colloid. Only the Sahaku family could and only by sheer luck that they found the Blitz's arm intact after its destruction. Obviously, they kept it all for themselves too.

1 In nearly anime ive seen a form of targets on a scope that have been lighted up its a form of electronic locking system. Similar to what RL current tracking system. If fakuda wanted a visual confirmation that isnt electronic based he could of used a different form of visualization but he didnt.
2 Freedom has a N canceller. What this means in a small area he can counter n-jammers, which in turn means electronic devices (sensors/comms) is functional in his limited sphere.
If he is using the n-cancellor that would also mean his targets rader network should detect him providing his aoe is also within the targets. A 2 way street per say.
But no worries i dont need a reply. Ive done my course in basic rader training (which also cover extensive understanding of how the system works including heavy ECM blankets) that i can safely say fakuda wasn't really interested in getting real mechanics into play here. Which is a good call i might add or else i would called BS louder than ive already have.
long story short... targets would of detected him while in his n-cancellor aoe.
Yes you are correct i am referring to kira's regular Targeting system before he rainbow spams.

By the way, I'm not saying it's necessarily a bad thing as a whole, just that it's not an uncommon thing in fiction.

i have been trying to understand this for a long time, why didnt the archangel just tell zaft a.k.a. the minerva crew why they showed up in there first appearance, i cant understand that, the writing on this point makes no sense. i mean you just say to yourself, hey archangel how about you send a damn message to the minerva crew and tell them and zaft what your intentions are by returnig to the battlefield after a couple of years. even if zaft didnt accept there reasons, you have to admit it would have clear up a large amount of confusion for athrun and the minerva crew. i mean was it planned out this way to just keep the story going, or to pit the archangel and minerva crew against each other. makes no sense when just sending message would clear all of that up. i wonder was it done to make the archangel crew look like the bad guys, because to the minerva crew they had no choice but to look on them in that way. what do you guys think. final note maybe we just chalk it up too the very very bad writing.

What the Tabloids Taught Us While Waiting In Line This Week
We had some time to read the tabs while we were waiting in line to buy booze and mixers this week and here's what we learned from the National Enquirer, In Touch, Star, the Globe and Us Weekly.
It looks like avoiding the express line has had its privileges again.
National Enquirer
- The OJ murders were caught on video by a terrified eyewitness. But the tape won't fit in Simpson's VCR so the judicial system is foiled once again.
- Macaulay Culkin attempted suicide. Apparently, after the 31st year in a row of being forgotten at Christmas, he just couldn't take it anymore.
- Celebrities have dimply, lumpy, ripple-y cellulite. And, thankfully for us, they forgot to wear their cloaks of invisibility to the beach.
- Lindsay Lohan is headed to a mental ward. Those places have all the best drugs.
In Touch
- Khloe Kardashian-Odom was betrayed when her husband Lamar was seen with two sexy brunettes. Turned out they were just her sisters, but if she's smart, she won't trust them either.
- Kate Middleton's morning sickness is better, so she's now prepping for her baby. But no pink walls in the nursery. The Duchess of Cambridge can no longer stand the color of Pepto Bismol.
- Harry Styles has to watch out because Taylor Swift could possibly be using him. To get into another prom.
- Celebrities make beauty blunders. Like paying other people to make them look they way they often do.
- Kris Kardashian and Bruce Jenner are going through a $175 million divorce. Making the ads that air during the divorce more expensive than even Super Bowl commercials.
- We now know who the meanest celebs are. Dodging coffee and cell phones just got easier.
- Kate Middleton's parents have moved in to help while she's pregnant. Well played. That's the reason we'd have given to move into the Duke and Duchess' royal house, too.
- Selma Blair appears skeletal after being on the "break-up diet." Her manager is doing his best to get her cast in an Oscar-buzz flick while she has that whole Matthew McConaughey thing going on.
- President Obama caused outrage with his $5 million vacation in Hawaii. Family members say all he got them was a stupid coffee mug.
- Autopsy secrets about Kansas City Chiefs player Jovan Belcher are out. His heart was completely missing.
- Miraculous test tube twins made Kate Middleton's dream come true. Sources close to the Duchess say she's always wanted a pair of bonsai babies.
- 'Malcolm in the Middle' star Frankie Muniz suffered a stroke. He finally realized the show has been off the air for six years even though he's been shooting episodes from home as the result of a Hollywood prank.
Us Weekly
- Kate Middleton is pondering raising royal babies. Experts say she shouldn't have to work too hard since most royals are already babies.
- Brandi Glanville says her kids aren't safe with LeAnn Rimes. Makes sense. Neither was her husband.
- Demi Moore has been chasing guys half her age. She finds it easiest to separate the weak ones from the herd just after dusk.
- Real Housewife Bethenny Frankel and husband Jason Hoppy are in a marriage crisis. It turns out they knew the show was fake, but just figured out the marriage is real.

You would think that Halloween would be the interesting part here, but it really wasn't. No, the interesting thing that happened this week was winter storm St Jude.
St Jude is a bit of a mystery to us. In fact, I am convinced that in the case of a zombie apocalypse or other catastrophe, Roehampton is going to be the place you'll want to be. Why?
Because St Jude never happened.
My flatmates and I spent a good portion of our evening browsing our Twitter feeds for information on the storm, and we were constantly checking to see when the storm was going to be at its peak, but… Nothing ever happened. Around the time it was supposed to get bad, a few of us threw on the lightest, least rain-worthy clothes we had and went out to play in the rain.
That's what we'd been waiting for: the perfect time to go play in the rain.
And play we did.
Now, the thing about St Jude never happening… I am a nocturnal person—there is simply no other way to say that. I was awake all night. My curtains were open all night. I did not see any rain—at least no more than there had been when we'd gone outside. And yet…
That's really it. I mean, according to the news, around 5:00am was the when most of the damage occurred. All across London, trees were uprooted, bridges collapsed, and construction projects fell apart. But I was awake at 5:00am—I'm telling ya, Roehampton is magical.
There was one thing that happened on Halloween that was pretty fantastic though:


text: Profound changes are occurring in every aspect of forensic evidence, from what is evidence, to gathering evidence, to introducing evidence in judicial proceedings. Evidentiary rules such as Fed. R. Evid. 702 and decisions such as Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharm., Inc., 509 U.S. 579 (1993) and Kumho Tire Co. v. Carmichael, 526 U.S. 137 (1999) have transformed the role of judges from passive rubber-stampers of accepted scientific processes to vigilant gatekeepers, passing on the validity and relevance of the science itself. Advances in forensic evidence are freeing the wrongly accused and catching the guilty. Even the public is keenly attuned to the subject, and hit shows such as CSI reflect this interest. In light of these changes, it is appropriate to survey a room with a view of forensic evidence. Such a survey will reveal that while Daubert has redecorated the room, and opinions may still be out as to the legal decor, "the usual suspects" of forensic evidence

NEW PROVIDENCE, NJ - While gas prices continue to hover around $4.00 per gallon and many scientists contend that the burning of fossil fuels is contributing to global warming, the desire to find alternative fuels is growing. On Wednesday morning, Dec. 12, the seventh annual Hydrogen Powered Model Car Competition was hosted by TransOptions, the Transportation Management Association for northwestern New Jersey at New Providence High School.
The purpose of the event is to promote technology in education and foster student interest in "STEM" activities (science, technology, engineering and math). Each team is required to design, build and race cars that are running on hydrogen fuel cells and they are provided with the kits, which include wheels, axles, motors and gears.
The students must figure out how to produce hydrogen so the car will move. Many of cars use distilled water, which separates the oxygen from the hydrogen. The high schools that participated included New Providence, Delbarton, High Point, Livingston, Kittatinny, Madison, East Hanover, Piscataway and Newton. There is a double elimination race and the goal is to see whose car can go the farthest on the 20 meter track.
Joseph Caravella, the environmental programs manager at TransOptions, said it's a fun, educational day for the kids.
"I think that certainly the major reason for us having the event is to get introduced to alternative energy sources like hydrogen," Caravella said.
Junior Jake Block from Florham Park said he and his friends started the Robotics Club at school three years ago. They won the competition last year and he said the trick to succeeding is using light materials so the car will go fast.
"The beauty about this is, as long as you know the basics you can pretty much make anything move," Block said.
Mike Finocchino, a senior at High Point participated last year, but said things didn't get off to a good start this time when their car went backwards. They were hoping to fix it and jump back in the race, he said.
"In the classroom it worked, but like Murphy's Law everything that can go wrong will go wrong," he said.
The winners were:
1st Place – "Lancer I" – Livingston High School – Jamie Levinson, Kenneth Duffy and Jeffrey Yu
2nd Place – "Linda II" – New Providence High School – Yuji Sugimoto, Davis Barry and Kevin Haggerty
3rd Place – "Von Hindenburg's Fantastical Chariot of Doom" – Madison High School – Christian Santoro, Kyle Smith and Ryan Mak
1st Place – "Grizzly" – High Point Regional High School – Krishna Desai and Ryan Henderson
2nd Place – "Mechanical Wave" – Delbarton – Jeremy Palmer, Nick Palmer, Chris Deluca and Wagas Azher

So in that logic it really is Ryuukishi's sin.
If you want to consider "our world" to be "prime", sure, but Rokkenjima doesn't exist here ^^;;
My understanding is that "their world" = 1986 btw.
Unless btw you want to consider a Rokkenjima prime to be a world that is the source of inspiration to write the stories. Then I agree that world might exist. But I disagree if you think Rokkenjima exists in that world. I don't think it's really too hard to see either...
Plenty of authors translated themselves in their stories through a single or sometimes many characters. Plenty of characters in many writer's stories are based on people the author really met.
However, making a murder story that figures a complete cast of people who really exists... well to me that's really unheard of and rather messed up.
I find the former thing I explained to be fully normal of about any stories so I really don't see why I should view Umineko any differently. It just actually makes us think of these things rather then them being entirely silent. For instance in my current understanding, Genji is actually based on Ronove (an archetype that exists within the writer's mind), not the other way around.

I thought she had an interesting motive, though, and I could understand her twisted thought process, which is what I really want in a motive. That's my biggest issue with Umineko, that I can't figure out what anyone's internal logic might be. I can get as far as understanding why Yasu would want to do a mystery game, and that's about it.
I hope Ryukishi includes more interactive elements in his future games. I thought Bern's puzzle was terrifically fun, and I even enjoyed the Layton style puzzles despite never being much a fan of the Layton games. I think it was the sense I got that many of them were trying to tell you something about the story and weren't just puzzles for the sake of having puzzles.

Not that I think she committed any murder in Rokkenjima prime. The epitaph was probably solved soon enough.

That's not actually true. She technically addressed that money to deceased people, such as Rudolf Ushiromiya. Perhaps her intention was to mail the payments for those who assisted her in the Murder Mystery Game, and a real tragedy happening caused people to assign more sinister ideas to the money transfer.

If that's the case, I can't imagine any other viable solutions for letting the bomb explode other than the adults quarreling about the 10tons of gold. With guns. And messing somehow with the detonation switch. If Yasu just wanted to have a murder mystery party with her family, she surely wouldn't have turned the switch on. And we can't possibly think of her not knowing about it, since it was explained to her when she solved the epitaph.
Unless of course we assume that the bomb somehow went off on its own exactly at midnight because of malfunctioning, but that's kind of...meh.
I'd really like to hear some theory that involves no one being at fault, as I really wish to believe that what happened on Rokkenjima prime was just an accident.

Here's an idea. There was a Murder Mystery Game and Yasu didn't intend for any hijinks, but let's say one of the adults took the opportunity to get away with murder. Perhaps Yasu didn't imagine anyone would live after like half of them were dead or something, so she set off the bomb thinking "Well I'm not going to let the culprit get away with it!"

A complex and ingenious plan is not something you cannot expect from a schizophrenic, in fact psychotic individuals tend to be more intelligent than the norm. Now if we are talking about common sense, that's another issue completely, but what part of Yasu's plan relied on common sense?
In her fantasies some kind of divine interventions made everything go "well" for her, but we know in reality something went wrong.

Since it was a secret project it can be the survivors didn't know what they were carrying and, differently from the gold, they didn't bother removing it from the submarine when it started sinking after they reached Rokkenjima.
Then the mess with the gold happens time goes on and when the Japanese government check the base because Kinzo wants to buy Rokkenjima the submarine is completely sunk.
Nobody thinks it's carrying an incomplete bomb of such power, fishing it up/repairing it, isn't possible/would be too expensive, telling the Italian government to come get its own submarine might lead to explaining why they weren't told about it previously so it's left there...
In 1986 the bad weather and the time that's gone cause the bomb/explosive/whatever to explode.
Radiations might be minor maybe because the bomb work in a different mode than the ones used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki or because since it exploded in the underground base and got buried under it somehow radiations didn't manage to spread or both.
It might also explain why Eva died at such a young age.
BTW Eva reached Kuwadorian because she solved the epitaph short time before the bomb went off and so she found the passage for Kuwadorian.
Battler solved it short after her but took the wrong tunnel. When the bomb went off he tried returning back but, as there were no survivors, he went in shock and escaped from the island. Later he's involved in the car incident with Ikuko.
As for Yasu she was waiting for Eva at Kuwadorian, handed her the ring of the head then tried returning back.
Funnily enough she managed not to cross path with Battler and, out of guilt for having thought up tales in which the whole family was killed, once she sees they're all dead, she fleed and took the identity she had previously prepared as she didn't plan to kill herself after that family conference, just to disappear.
Luckily/unluckily enough she almost run over Battler with 'her' car but he has forgotten everything.
Eva has no idea who blasted the house away but might suspect Rudolf did as he was in serious financial troubles and had tie with shady business. So she decides to hide everything from Ange.
even though it's an historical thing that the Axis was also trying to build a final weapon there's no real hint that's what the submarine was carrying so I guess this can't be used in Umineko (even if it would be more logic than Japanese government leaving Kinzo so much explosive, Kinzo building a self destruction mechanism for his house and Italian government trying to hide gold in Japan).
In an interview it was said:

Argh. Animesuki timed out on me and ate my lengthy post. Dammit.
Its late so I'll just sum up some key points I had written out:
1. I agree the switch is part of the key to Prime. I think it was either left in an unknown state (a la cat-box writ large) somehow (hence showing Eva's skepticism of the switch in ep 7), or Eva deliberately used it either in self defense or to cover up her family's crimes she witnessed. I do believe the scenario that Eva is innocent but taking the brunt of the accusations to shield Ange.
2. I believe also that the epitaph was solved early. But what I am speculating is that this happened after Yasu had recruited her accomplices and set everything up. This led to a discord and confusion on the part of the accomplices who thought they would be cheated out of their prior deal, and hence the new series of fighting and possible murders.
3. I believe that murder story Yasu has plenty of motivation. She blames Nanjou and Genji for her present physiological state. She blames the family for driving Battler away and to him forgetting her. She basically can construct reasons to blame just about all her issues on everyone else there as needed. Everything is present to make her into a villain for the sake of her plot. Everything but love. Love is the magic that Yasu needs to escape from becoming the Golden Slaughterer in the end. Battler does come through, so she does not commit the crimes, but she had planned them all the same, and the island is still blown up.

Basically, Yasu is thinking as a culprit, because she needs to become one for her story. It's self-feeding and growing out of hand. She wants Battler to solve it early before she fully loses herself to this latest role she is playing. This may also be why it starts as a game, but becomes real by the end. Of course, she's hoping Battler will stop her, and may even deliberately slip up in Prime.
Maria also knew too much about Beatrice, plus was a "magical" rival. But I agree all these are stretching some. But that's kind of my point. Yasu is writing these game scenarios to cast herself as the villain, so she has something of a chip on her shoulder when it comes to self-victimization.

I just can't buy Yasu having the capability of murdering people so callously, especially if she's literally doing it for fun and self-gratification.
This is the same girl, afterall, too timid to make a phonecall, and Zero Beatrice (Basically Yasu) was literally unable to work up the nerve to kill Natsuhi.

In addition, friends and family may think that the symptoms of depression they see in an older person are just a passing mood. Depression, however, is a medical illness.

7 mm/.284 Caliber (.284) 180 gr. HPBT MatchKing
The 7mm 180 grain HPBT MatchKing was created in response to requests from top-level F-Class shooters. Sierra has designed these MatchKing® bullets to provide a higher weight/higher B.C. alternative in our 7mm line. This bullet's 12 caliber secant ogive and lengthened boat tail make it the perfect choice for the discerning 7mm long range shooter.
While they are recognized around the world for record-setting accuracy, MatchKing® and Tipped MatchKing® bullets are not recommended for most hunting applications. Although MatchKing® and Tipped MatchKing® bullets are commonly used for varmint hunting, their design will not provide the same reliable explosive expansion at equivalent velocities in varmints compared to their lightly jacketed Hornet, Blitz or Varminter counterparts.
This bullet requires a barrel twist rate of 1x8" or faster.

|Shoot them out to 1000 yards in matches, and the people that kept telling me to use Berger's don't anymore, because I beat them all using this bullet from 300 to 1000 yards. I also hold 3 different NRA Grand Senior Mid-Range match records using this bullet.

|The Sierra 7mm 180G Match Kings are fantastic bullets. I use them in long range rifle matches out to 1,000 yards. They are very accurate in my .284 F-Open rifle and hammer the 10-ring if I call the wind correctly. My highest score with them was a 195/200 - 11x at 1K yds. A great bullet at a great price.
|P. M of Caddo, Oklahoma
|December 24, 2013
|I use these bullets in a Rem 700 with Shillen #7 bbl in 7mmRSAUM. I see a lot of .3" and .4" groups at 100 yds, Load development was relatively easy, these bullets do not seem to be finicky as far as OAL, etc. Flat shooting, great quality for a long range 7mm bullet.

I came to post one idea and ended up thinking of a few more on the spot.
So, the first one I'd want would be a mythical zoan type, a dark unicorn fruit. I can't say I'm fond of horses, or any animal really, but I recently learned that unicorns are supposed to be symbols of purity or some crap. They apparently have epic amounts of rage for all but the purest of heart. That sounds like fun.
I think an air type logia would be cool, especially if you could be more gases than just oxygen.
A food fruit would be interesting. You could pull food out of thin air and make your body turn into different things. And, you could turn things into food just by touching them.
As far as fruits that already exist, I'd want Iva's power the most. I'd have so much fun with that. The ice fruit would be a distant second.

I'd like a fruit thats similar to Brook's Life-Life fruit but that you can steal a piece of others life force to regenerate any body part of yours or others. Not just humans, animals and the planet itself. You could extend your life forever or for decades, heal any injuries... and heal the planet.
I'd be invincibe. Immortal. Unstoppable...
What would be the name of this fruit? ... the Gun-Gun fruit (Force-Force).

Hijouji Hijouji No Mi - Emergency Emergency Devil Fruit
This Paramecia devil fruit allows one to unleash his/her entire Pain,Fatigue and Hunger as projectiles towards a target, which is colored as our everyday emergency orange flashing beacons.When the projectile hits target, fruit users transfers all those penalties to target.
As a final resort, he/she becomes an emergency beam man/woman.Whenever target tries to melee hit, they will feel the pain instead of you.
Being a lifesaver and defensive ability it has no offensive moves. (unless you beam one to death and go kick the poor already exhausted guy) and since you cant reflect mechanical ranged weaponry like guns or bows you're pretty easy target for those.
Other than that I dont even have to say that you should always stab yourself in the heart and beam the guy in front of you, resulting of his instant death, If you can endure the stabbing pain.You are pretty immortal.
I think it fits, since many weird paramecia devil fruits in OP designed by tools like magnet,gums,candles

I'd like an adamantium (or some other indestructible material) pole that "ate" the Buki Buki no Mi. It would be able to change in to any type of weapon that the user wants (or can imagine as a weapon). The user would then eat the "eye eye" devil fruit that allows the person to "see" all things around him/her in the immediate past/future.

A 'time time' fruit? Coz I need more time a do a lot of things... (Yeah I'm being selfish)
Features of this fruit-
1. Able to start and stop time
2. Able to go back into the past and into the future
3. Able to let time run on in 1 area and stop in others? (Hyperbolic chamber comes to mind...)
4. Able to stop ur own time and let others age on... (Okay, this is too imba...)
Just a thing about what I really want here anyway...

i want (hmm lets how to call it)

From NBC's Christopher Wilson
Mary Ann Glendon, a conservative Harvard law professor who was U.S. ambassador to the Vatican under George W. Bush, has announced that she will not be accepting the Laetare Medal at the University of Notre Dame's commencement ceremony on May 17. In her letter to Notre Dame President Rev. John Jenkins, Glendon stated that she would no longer be accepting, citing the conflict with President Barack Obama's presence as both a commencement speaker and a recipient of an honorary degree.
Glendon is staunchly anti-abortion, and she expressed disappointment that Notre Dame was awarding someone -- in this case the president of the United States -- whose position on abortion is so starkly different from Catholic Church's and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops'.
"I could not help but be dismayed by the news that Notre Dame also planned to award the president an honorary degree," she wrote. "This, as you must know, was in disregard of the U.S. bishops' express request of 2004 that Catholic institutions 'should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles' and that such persons 'should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions.' That request, which in no way seeks to control or interfere with an institution's freedom to invite and engage in serious debate with whomever it wishes, seems to me so reasonable that I am at a loss to understand why a Catholic university should disrespect it."
Glendon also pointed to statements by Father Jenkins -- "We think having the president come to Notre Dame, see our graduates, meet our leaders, and hear a talk from Mary Ann Glendon is a good thing for the president and for the causes we care about", he said -- which she thought attempted to turn the commencement ceremony into a sort of debate on the issue.
"It is not the right place, nor is a brief acceptance speech the right vehicle, for engagement with the very serious problems raised by Notre Dame's decision -- in disregard of the settled position of the U.S. bishops -- to honor a prominent and uncompromising opponent of the Church's position on issues involving fundamental principles of justice."
The Notre Dame campus has been buzzing since the announcement last month that Obama would be at the Class of 2009's graduation. Anti-abortion groups have already stated they plan to be out in force at the May 17th ceremony, while the Notre Dame student body prepares for more unwanted attention as the end of the semester approaches.
The Laetare medal (pronounced Lay-tah-ray) was established in 1883, and is considered one of the oldest and prestigious awards that can be given to an American Catholic. It's given out annually at the University of Notre Dame commencement ceremony. Previous recipients include President John F. Kennedy, Catholic Worker founder Dorothy Day, and fictional American president Martin Sheen, who received the award last year.
*** UPDATE *** "President Obama is disappointed by former Ambassador Mary Glendon's decision," Spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki, "but he looks forward to delivering an inclusive and respectful speech at the Notre Dame graduation, a school with a rich history of fostering the exchange of ideas. While he is honored to have the support of millions of people of all faiths, he does not govern with the expectation that everyone sees eye to eye with him on every position, and the spirit of debate and healthy disagreement on important issues is part of what he loves about this country."

Community hopes venue at Venice High expands the city's audience.
The sound of a specially assembled crane lifting and erecting the 80-foot-tall, 100-ton concrete walls that will comprise part of the Venice High School Performing Arts Center was surely music to many ears this week.
When this spacious, acoustically attuned auditorium opens in the summer or fall of 2014, several community groups that have long shared their musical talents will anxiously take to its stage.
Without its own theater, the Venice Symphony performs at the Church of the Nazarene. The Venice Concert Band uses the Venice Community Center. The Exsultate! chorale performs at Grace United Methodist Church.
All three have been promised use of the hall.
"We'll be going from 640 seats to more than 1,000," said Doug Kerr, executive director of the Venice Symphony. "We think the Performing Arts Center will have an enormous impact on the community and for expanding our audience. We're embarking on new marketing strategies to do that."
The Performing Arts Center costs $15 million, with the city of Venice paying half the costs through sales taxes. It is one of the final pieces in the $91 million reconstruction of Venice High School.
Because of the school location, the symphony hopes to expand its appeal to teenage musicians and audiences. Conductor Kenneth Bowermeister wants to work with the school on creating a youth symphony.
Yet even the less musically inclined will have an appreciation for this performance hall, especially if they own a downtown business.
"The economic impact alone will be great," said Kat Quast, executive director of the downtown merchants association Venice MainStreet.
Quast believes that, before or after a show, audience members are likely to go downtown "because that's where the restaurants are."
The recent opening of the Daiquiri Deck on Venice Avenue and popularity of the Pineapples Island Grill are already giving downtown Venice more of a night life. The performing arts hall will give more downtown restaurants and pubs a reason to stay open later as well.
"It's going to bring in out-of-town people," especially if the center books well-known performers, Quast said.
Even audiences that are mostly local residents are likely to patronize downtown businesses before or after performances as well, Kerr said.
Scott Lempe, the school district's chief operating officer, said the partnership between Venice and the school district to build the Performing Arts Center created "a win-win for everybody."
The school district, the city and certainly not any of the local musical groups could have afforded to build such a facility on its own, he noted.
The center will also include drama, band and chorus classrooms and a piano lab.
The school district has experience in operating and sharing a performance hall of this scale.
About 12 years ago, the district and the city of North Port financed a 1,023-seat performing arts center at North Port High School that also attracts a variety of local and professional productions.
Drama teacher Ryan Oliver serves as the theater manager. North Port High gets priority in booking events for the year. Next come community groups, such as the North Port Symphony.
The third tier with rights to use the hall is a nonprofit volunteer organization, the Society of the North Port Performing Arts Center. The society books out-of-town acts on any dates that remain available, particularly Saturday nights. It also performs duties such as providing ushers and managing the box office.
North Port has discovered that its performing arts center is a regional magnet.
"The theater is really booked this year," society spokeswoman Karen Arlington said. "We get people from Venice and Port Charlotte — and some season ticket holders from as far as Arcadia."
Although the North Port hall is not in the vicinity of a downtown, Arlington believes restaurants along Toledo Blade Boulevard and Sumter Boulevard get an uptick in business from out-of-towners who attend a show and want to eat before getting back on Interstate 75.

July 2013 Trails EndPosted in Features on July 1, 2013
The May 1984 issue of Four Wheeler contained a fascinating collection of content. From a riveting (not really) story about our first annual (and probably last) T-shirt contest to an epic Granville King story where he eloquently recounted the unfortunate drowning of his Ram 50 in seawater. Also in that issue was a unique three-page story about a man's dedication to his '70 International Scout.
The story was written by a man named Bob Gooch, who purchased the Scout brand-new. The rig was powered by a six-cylinder engine (with manual choke) backed by a three-speed manual transmission. Gooch used the vehicle primarily for hunting trips, and from his home in Virginia he drove the Scout to Wyoming, New Mexico, North Dakota, and even Alaska, among other places. There were times when the rig was more pack mule than Scout. During one two-month trip the vehicle carried two passengers, a 17-foot canoe on the roof, two rifles and a shotgun in a well-worn rack, fishing tackle, clothing for extremes of weather, camping gear, ice chests, tarps, and spare parts. And the Scout was towing a soft top camping trailer.
Through the years Gooch had a number of adventures with the Scout, including a sprint from the New Mexico backcountry in 10 inches of snow during an intensifying blizzard. By its tenth birthday, the Scout had 145,000 miles on the ticker. Since an Alaska trip was planned, Gooch had the engine rebuilt. He also had the seats redone, new carpeting installed, the rearend checked out, and a new paint job. He reported that at the time the story was written, he had put another 20,000 miles on the Scout since the facelift and it was performing like new.
Gooch said the Scout never let him down, though it did have minor problems along the way. In 1975 the clutch went out on the way to North Dakota (a shop in Pennsylvania had a new clutch installed in four hours); on the way to Idaho in 1978 another clutch problem manifested itself in Indiana but the trip was completed without incident; the water pump went out in Tok, Alaska; and the accelerator cable snapped outside of Anchorage, Alaska. In the last two incidents Gooch says he was able to limp to repair services.
When the story was written in 1984, Gooch was still driving the Scout. In the story he said, "One day I may trade it in, but the very thought is painful. I suspect I am more likely to drive it another 10 years and overhaul it again. Only time can build that kind of nostalgia, and it is unavailable in a new car, regardless of price."
We think Gooch's story is pretty cool, and it made us think of some of you who drive rigs that you've owned for a number of years. If you have a rig that you've owned for 10 years or more, please email a photo of the rig to firstname.lastname@example.com. Tell us a little about the rig. How you acquired it, where you've been with it, maybe how many engines you've gone through, why you'll never get rid of it—heck, anything you think is relevant. We'd love to hear your story.

Is Passing Query String Data In Referral URLs A Privacy Violation?
from the seems-like-a-stretch dept
While I'm pretty big in supporting privacy issues... I have to say that I really don't see this as a big issue. Soghoian tries to use examples of where query strings revealed private info, but those are in cases where the query string was revealed to other third parties who had nothing to do with the transaction in question. But providing that data directly to the site that was clicked? It's hard to see how there's a problem there. Soghoian does point out that Google does mask the query string on URL clicks that come from Gmail accounts, but that's an entirely different situation, because then you're searching through private data. When doing a websearch on public data, and providing it only to a party who is involved in the event, seems totally reasonable. There are plenty of legitimate privacy issues out there. It seems silly to focus on one that seems so inconsequential.

Google Asks Germans To Protest 'Pay To Link' Proposal As It Comes Close To Becoming Law
from the dumb-proposals dept
The final proposal would be wide reaching in impact, and make it ridiculous to run a search engine or any kind of aggregator in Germany:
The new section, if introduced, would provide the "producer of news materials" the general "exclusive right to make said materials publicly available, in whole or in part, for commercial purposes," according to an unofficial translation of the German Government's proposals.The German government is set to take up the issue on Thursday and Google has realized that maybe it should let folks in Germany know that this proposal would seriously cut into their internet services. As Google accurately notes, if the law passes it will mean "higher costs, less information and massive legal uncertainty." That's what happens when you insist that content providers who fail to monetize traffic somehow "deserve" money from a third party that is helping people find them.
Others would be permitted to provide "public access" to the publishers' material unless those providing that access are "commercial operators of search engines or commercial providers of services that aggregate this content in a respective fashion". News publishers' right to control the commercial exploitation of their work in this regard would extend for a year after publication. Authors of the work would be entitled to be "provided with a reasonable share of the remunerations issuing from the author's work".
The logic behind this bill makes no sense. Do we require that GPS service providers pay stores for directing people to where they're located? Of course not. The very concept is ludicrous. Yet that's exactly what this bill is doing in Germany.
Most ridiculous of all: if publishers don't like being in Google's results, they can already opt-out. So if this was really "piracy" as the publishers claim, they have a solution already at their disposal. But this isn't about piracy at all, of course. It's about publishers who haven't been able to adapt seeing Google make lots of money and getting jealous. So they're demanding a cut of the money. It's a sad statement on the nature of both publishers and German copyright law that this proposal is even being seriously considered.
