Simply put, it's too damn early. There used to be a time that Christmas waited until December. At the very least, it waited until after Thanksgiving. Now they don't even wait until Halloween is over before they start pushing Christmas on us.
I understand the desire that businesses have to extend the Christmas season. Apart from selling turkeys, cranberry sauce, and cardboard pictures of turkeys and pilgrims, there's not a ton of money to be made from Thanksgiving.
People didn't like Christmas leapfrogging Thanksgiving, but it eventually became the norm. And you know how the old saying goes – "Give them an inch and they'll take a mile." And that's how we ended up with 10-year-old flesh-eating zombies mingling with Christmas trees on Jamaica Avenue this Halloween.
Christmas in Woodhaven has turned into a two-month long shopping season. That's one-sixth of our year. That's twice as long as it should be.
If stores are going to trample over Thanksgiving and start stepping up their sales to October, I'm going to start paying attention and spending my money in stores that don't. I don't expect that my dollars will make much of a difference, but maybe if we all did that we'd reverse the trend a bit and return some balance to our holidays.
One Christmas tradition you can never start too early is the act of giving to those who are in need of help. Caring for others is actually a year-round tradition, but the Christmas season does seem to bring that spirit out in a lot of people.
This year, the Woodhaven Residents' Block Association is going to participate in the East Coast Car Association's Toys for Tots collection drive. The toys will be given to the children of St. Mary's Healthcare in Bayside, which provides long-term care to children with serious medical conditions.
We are asking residents to donate one unwrapped children's gift. No stuffed animals please, and educational gifts are preferred. Members of the Woodhaven Residents' Block Association will be at the office at 84-20 Jamaica Avenue collecting toys on Saturday, November 9, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.; Tuesday, November 12, from 5 to 7 p.m.; Thursday, November 14, from 5 to 7 p.m.; and Saturday, November 16, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
If you cannot drop off a gift during those hours, you can contact us by phone at (718) 296-3735 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also drop off any gifts with Charlie in Spirare Cleaning directly next door to our office.
These toys will be taken directly to St. Mary's in Bayside as part of the East Coast Car Association's Annual Toy Run on Sunday, November 17. This is a great event to come out and watch. The classic cars will begin assembling in the Forest Park Bandshell parking lot at 9 a.m. The run to Bayside begins around noon.
The East Coast Car Association raises money all year for the children of St. Mary's, which they present at the end of the toy run. Last year, they raised over $9,000. The Woodhaven Residents' Block Association is proud to participate in this year's toy run, and we hope that our residents will consider donating a toy to the children of St. Mary's.

This is Part V of a six-part series.
Note to readers from Kristina Gray: This is the fifth installment in a six-part series, with this chapter written by one of my students and encompassing the reminiscing of old timers in their own words or according to my University of Minnesota, Crookston students' interviews and writing up what their grandparents told them. In addition to the six-part series which will continue once a week through April, join me on a look into the past in the Crookston Daily Times' 2013 Community Connections special edition, which publishes on Friday, April 26.
(Hayden) MinKyun Kim
At present, the world is constantly changing and evolving. Now, I am living with learning something new and encountering with new culture every day. When changes occur too fast, we forget our old traditional values. In this harsh life, I think that it is important to remind us of traditional values once again because, old histories and the wisdom of our ancestors could be the driving force of pioneering a harsh life and they would help us realize the warm heart between people. I was able to recall some memories while thinking about these old things.
I got a chance to interview a couple that has lived a long time in Crookston. On February 13, 2013, two friends and I headed downtown to interview Mr. and Mrs. Hvidings. Their house was white, cozy and beautiful. When we went to open the door of the white house, the old couple was very welcoming to us. My friend and I interviewed Mrs. Hviding who was very kind and friendly.
Her full name was Laverne Hviding and she has been living in Crookston since 1957 after marriage. She grew up on a farm and graduated from the high school. When she was a student, she always stayed in the library to write her autobiography, and her favorite hobby was swimming at the old swimming pool nearby her house. After marriage, she had to move to Texas, Missouri and to Kentucky because of her husband's military service. After her husband finished his military service, she and Mr. Hviding moved to Crookston in 1957. Ever since then, she has been living in Crookston as a housewife until now.
I asked her a few questions, the first question was, "I would like to know about your childhood memories." The most impressive answer of her stories is, "My first date was my high school graduation night where my husband gave the locket to me to celebrate the graduation and I still have the locket."
After hearing her story, I was surprised so much because, the locket seemed new and polished despite it was made before almost 60 years ago. Inside the locket, there was the couple's photos when they were young were attached beautifully. For me, the locket was seen as a symbol of their eternal love. When I was in my first year of high school, my classmates and I buried a time capsule on the land, and we put some stuffs in the time capsule to symbolize ourselves. After a period of time, we had been promised to open the time capsule when we become adults. Now, almost 10 years later, I am wondering the condition of our time capsule. There is about six years left to open the time capsule that was promised to us. In the future, if I talk with my friends about memories infused with the stuff, I would feel the importance of the old and recall the memories of friends. I can have remembered my precious memories due to her locket.
Second question was, "How many children were in your family?" She said, "I was the third of seven children and my first sister died when she was 5 years old because of the pneumonia." When I heard her, I was so sad because I have two younger brothers, one is a university student and the other one is high school. I have lots of memories with my brothers. I imagined that if I lose my brother, I would really scared.
Our third question was, "What do you think the most important parts for maintaining family well? She talked about her faith as a Christian and stated, "My favorite place in Crookston is the church, because there are a lot of good friends in the church." Through her saying, I realized the importance of faith once again. Her home will always be reconciled together with God and her.
Lastly, I asked her, "What is the special tradition or culture of your family and Crookston?" She said, "All my family used to go to the motel with a pool every winter for a weekend retreat." After hearing her answer, I missed my old days. When I was young, all my family members including grandparents and relatives used to travel together. Family trip was a good tradition; however, it became forgotten memories due to the busy lifestyle. As time went by, I was sad because my family's good old tradition was disappearing. I vowed that I'm going to strive to revive the great tradition of the family when I go back to Korea.
Let me introduce my maternal grandfather briefly, his name is Inki Kim. He is living in Pyeongtaek, Kyeonggido, Korea. He is eighty one years old that almost same age as Mrs. Hviding's. He has five daughters including my mom. His hobbies are harvesting some vegetables from the mountain and web surfing on the Internet.
There are some similarities exist between my grandfather and Mrs. Hviding. First, they have been living a long time in their hometown. My grandfather, Inki has lived for more than 60 years in Pyeongtaek like Mrs. Hviding. I think that the reason why they cannot leave their hometown is filled with memories of a lifetime. Second, their hometown, Pyeongtaek and Crookston were both rural areas. Inki was born as the son of a farmer, and has lived a lifetime contributing to the rural. He was a pioneer of rural development. So, he had appeared on TV programs before long time ago.
Moreover, they have hobbies to develop themselves. Mrs. Hviding likes to solve sudoku and put a jigsaw puzzle with her husband. In my opinion, her hobbies are fun and will help to prevent dementia. Surprisingly, Inki's hobby is web surfing on the Internet. He gets information of what he wants much faster compared to other elderly people by virtue of the Internet.
On the other hand, their biggest difference is that they experienced war or not. In 1950, Korean War began because of sudden invasion of North Korea. And he had to see to his hometown brutally trampled by enemy. He said, "Thousands of people lost their lives to keep our hometown from invasion of enemy. So, I cannot move to another place leaving my hometown." From his saying, I could feel how much he loved his hometown. Although Mrs. Hviding didn't experience war, love for her in Crookston would be similar with Inki's love for in Pyeongtaek.
Thorough this interview, I've learned that I can get many lessons from an elder, regardless of nationality. Always a new thing cannot exist. As time passes, new things tend to be older. We must accept a new civilization while adhere to the tradition to improve quality of our life. Still now, I think that I can learn something valuable from elder people. Their wisdom and annual ring are essential elements to carve out a harsh life. Mrs. Hviding's smile and story exist in my head still now.

|[Gentoo Linux Home] [GLEP Index] [GLEP Source]
|Gentoo Package Update System
|2004/01/13 20:47:35
|John J. Whitney <jjw at linuxmail.org>
|Standards Track
This document proposes an official package updating system for Gentoo Linux. The Deltup project has been developed for this purpose. [1]
As packages grow larger the amount of redundant data keeps increasing. Updating existing tarballs by patching is the natural way to handle source updates.
This system will reduce mirror loads (potentially mirror size as well) and significantly speed up downloads, making Gentoo much more attractive for users with low-bandwidth connections.
I propose that the patches be put onto the Gentoo Mirrors and stored in a new directory called "patchfiles" which could be placed beside "distfiles".
It would be advantageous to have a list of available patches within the portage tree so that it can be updated during "emerge sync". A file named "dtu.list" can be created and placed in $PORTDIR/profiles.
If a machine can be set up to generate patches it should contain a local mirror of distfiles which it can monitor for added packages. When a package is added to distfiles the machine can try to determine the previous tarball so a patch can be made and placed in the patchfiles dir. In addition, special-case patches can be added manually.
The dtu.list file will be maintained by a special script. Whenever patches are added or removed to the patchfiles dir, the script will make necessary additions/removals in dtu.list. This will be done with minimal changes in the file so it can be synchronized efficiently.
The system will be optional for users and can be enabled by making portage invoke efetch through the FETCHCOMMAND environment variable [3].
When a package fetch is requested, the efetch/fetchcommand scripts (part of Deltup) will scan the dtu.list file for updates and try downloading and applying them if they exist, or fall back to a full package download if they don't or if the patching process fails.
The most controversial feature has been the addition of dtu.list to the portage tree, so in this section I will list the reasons I support it.
The dtu.list file will contain several hundred kilobytes of data. That has caused some concern over how efficiently it can be rsynced. To address these concerns the file's format will be plaintext and care has been taken to minimize the number of changes as removals/additions are made.
There are no backwards compatibility issues since Deltup can generate correct package MD5sums.
I suggest we start with a scaled-down implementation and provide more as the demand increases. All of the necesary code is already written and working in non-official tests.

If a member of some length of time who has made a fair contribution, feels uncomfortable or as if they feel they have been treated without sensitivity or whatever, I think we should reflect on the situation and see if there is a need or possibility for change.
I would also note that there were two interrelated monastic orders created not one combined order. And although I haven't really looked at the nuns rule, as I understand that there are some rules that are gender specific and rules that were put in place to protect women from men.
The monastic set up wasn't intended for laypeople, but that is a simple and correct assessment, although the only rules I can think of involve requisites.

Ikea unveils pet furniture line for your furry friends
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) - The next time you're perusing the Ikea showroom or flipping through the Swedish furniture maker's catalog, you'll be able to shop for your pets.
New this month is Lurvig (Swedish for "shaggy"), Ikea's product line designed exclusively for cats and dogs.
Felines can claw a scratching mat ($5.99), explore the inside of a play tunnel ($7.99) and relax in a padded cat house on legs ($54.98).
Pups can catch a flying disc (99 cents), enjoy a walk on an anti-shock leash ($14.99) and snooze on a stylish bed ($49.99).
"Our pets have their own personalities but they have five things in common: they love sleeping, eating, playing and exercising, and being close to us," designer Inma Bermudéz said. "So, these behaviors have been the first thing on our minds when designing these products."
Dr. Barbara Schäfer, a veterinarian who helped develop Lurvig, added, "It's really important to use an animal's natural needs and behaviors (like how they sleep, eat or play) as a starting point. Then we can design a product that fits in with our human needs, such as style and form."
Watch "The Ikea Pets Movie" below to get an inside look at Lurvig's creation.

Alright! That's one game crossed off my list! Let's see if the rest follow suit!
The latest issue of Nintendo Power has confirmed that Extreme Escape Adventure: Good People Die, the sequel to the f*ckin' amazing visual novel / room escape game Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, will see a North American localization for the 3DS. Despite acting all sly when previously asked about the game's chances of coming over, Aksys will once again be handling publishing duties.
Good People Die is also a Vita title, but since this info comes from Nintendo Power, nothing about Vita was uttered. I'm sure the Vita version will come as well -- it's the Arsenio Hall to the 3DS' Eddie Murphy, after all.

- Able to date nearly any character
- get own knightmare on three particular routes / four if PSP
- Awesome version of Lelouch's geass / Love geass if Blue Moon
- Able to change perspectives, fates, and storyline.
Gee, I wonder why it's so rare? Well regardless, I'm doing just fine on my boxed lunch scene (<3 to Doraneko for helping me.)
Don't feel bad palad, all I'm good for is looking up already translated material and haphazardly attempting to do my part in all this.
I'm also hoping to transfer all his microsoft word documents to simply word/notepad documents so they can be seen by everyone. (I would like to do this, since I'm good with long ass tedious stuff.)
Oh well, whatever comes, comes. I shan't be triumphed over.

I'm FINALLY finished the Docks battle scene! YAY!!! Ah, now THAT took a while. I've also added the automatic scene with Mao that comes right after it. (FINALLY introduces himself, after all this time.) Check it on the pages if you're interested! Unfortunately, updates may be slower for the next little while until the end of June, as I'll be preoccupied with important end of year exams for my last year of high school. I will, however, continue to do this in my spare time as much as possible. And once this summer arrives, I intend to get some serious work done for this project!
And also, to Arbitres; sorry for being so silent the last little while. I feel bad for always leaving you (and other people, which happens often) hanging like that. I'll send you a private message tomorrow, so I'll see you then! (And no, I have not finished the Karai fanfics yet. One of them is getting longer than I expected, actually. But I'm getting there.)

You finished the dock battle scene.
As in, you didn't necessary win, right? Well, Guilford is difficult to beat. I've yet to do it, and my last geass play through was the closest I ever got to ebating him, I think.
So you are done with the automatic scene following that? Makes me feel horrible for not working on my Kallen scene Dammit.. If only I knew more japanese would I be able to actually finish it. i'm sorry, Eternal dreamer.
Final year of high school = afterwards, more Lost Colors. Hopefully fall will be when I'll get to get into college. But by then, you'd already be done with the geass route.
I was actually worried, since you haven't been on. Nevertheless, it makes me feel bad for not working as hard as I could. Uhh... Gomen?

Yes, I didn't "win" against Guilford. Kallen saved me with her Slash Harken at the last second. Though with the way he fights, I doubt there's ANY way to really beat him; probably because the creators wanted the satisfaction of knowing that they had trumped the players at least once.
No need to get so upset over the Kallen scene. We have all the time in the world to do this project; even if it takes a little while to do it, it's not like fans of the game are going to start raving and mobbing on our doorsteps. (Though I do some pepper spray under my pillow...Just in case. )
For me, the end of High school has another meaning: no more school! Just that is enough to brighten my day! Ah, to be able to relax and just work on this project without anything else to worry about...Now THAT will be heaven.
Sorry I worried you. I have a bad habit of breaking off all contact when I'm focusing on other things, whether it be this project or school work. And no need to feel bad; as I said, time is not an issue here.

Make that twice, Eternal dreamer. There is still Nonette, if you haven't forgotten - Is the Knight of Nine. Who is also the only one Cornelia fears.
Enjoy yourself!
Though yes, Guilford is impossible to beat, I think. If you do somehow manage to hit him, he just hits you twice as hard. By then, you have half or less then half energy left, so I can sagely assume he was purposefully hax.
Thanks, I guess. Though I want to actually start doing translations the moment I learn more japanese -- a la when I take the course. I just want to be accurate, and the least amount of haphazard effort as possible.
Also, I'll switch the Doc around the moment I get my new computer, so I'll be able to change the documents around so they can be viewed by everyone. (Not everyone has microsoft word. Example: Me.)
By the way, there is a Nunnarai writer on the Fanfiction thread. Drop by there if you want a break from the translation or need extra motivation for one scene. I can appropriately say Revan-sama's works turned me into a Nunnarai shipper. Though I will always be a Karai shipper.
To be more on topic, i'll help with anything menial that doesn't require high-speed internet o actual translation. So far, I'm Tamaki level useful.

Looks like I'm starting to break my late pattern! I've finished all the new scenes for Day 15, which were actually quite few this time around: first a morning scene with Suzaku on the rooftop (careful, he's in his pissed-off self-righteous mood here), then a midday scene with C.C. at the park, an automatic scene with Milly then Mao in the evening (the guy's already in bandages and it's only been a day since the docks battle! Seriously, they're skipping WAY too many of the important parts of the CG story!), and finally a night scene with Diethard downtown (here's comes the endless talking...). Beware, though, that the next day will take until at LEAST next weekend, partly because there's a LONG automatic scene coming up and partly because I'm going to be preoccupied with important tests for school. Ah, so much to do, so little time...

Oh god, bad news guys... my Lost Colors data files all got wiped out. X(
As in all save files and whatnot...damn, I was on a roll...
Means I gotta start over from scratch again, but no worries guys...if anything, in an inverse sense of need, I have actually gotten more interested in playing it now, cause i have forgotten what happened in the early parts!

Hmm... do you still need help? I can speak Japanese. I understand almost everything the characters say - but I can't read the kanji the protagonist uses. Just leave a post here if you think I can be of use. I only did the Geass path - with Nunnaly as a main heroin - which I must say is one hell of a sad ending. Never understood why you have to disappear. Then again... I was never such a great group worker... but if you feel there are difficult parts i can translate them.

Silver... We aren't even 50% done yet. So yes we need the help, though whether or not it's credible help should be brought up with Eternal Dreamer.
You sound like you know the Nunnally ending, so do you care to elaborate on the translation? Or to validate we could have you do a scene near Eternal dreamer's progress.
Though don't worry, I'm not much of a group worker either, I have no grasp on japanese -- I just salvage what I can find of possibly good translations and send those to Eternal dreamer. After it's all done with, I'll be switching things around on the documents so everyone can see them - as not everyone has microsoft word. (including me, new computer by then though.)
Just wait for Eternal Dreamer. Don't take my word for it, since I'm pretty useless.

I see...
Not much of a blogger either... well I am not sure - I can definitely help - but the thing is... I hope just the Nunnally ending is tear breaking... cause I have no wish to go through anymore of those. - I am sure you many happy endings = you dead! but how the freakin hell is that happy?
Spoiler for Lost Colors - Nunnally Ending:
Ahem... So yeah... I liked Code Geass... But this is not how it should end... This is the Nunnally + Geass Ending... You can decline C2 offer to join the Koroi no Kishi and then just follow the schools path... I think... I should play it like that... but... lazy.... lot's of ...but... yeah.

I also think that as well, the last part I mean. But wouldn't that
Spoiler for Rai's geass:
I reiterate: Ask Eternal dreamer. He leads the project, he is the one that has done it thus far. He would probably love you forever if you could help him translate geass route. But I wouldn't know?

Will do... when he is online on the forum. I read he has exams so... I won't bother him.
Off-topic: Hmmm, you watch Angel Beats also? Kinda left us in a cliff hanger with that last angel appearance. - The most genius sequence there is, is that with Naoi-Hinata-Clothes Pin.
And back on topic, I started the Nobles route... boring, but ... might keep me going for a while.

SORRY, SORRY, SORRY, SORRY, SORRY, SORRY, SORRY, SORRY, SORRY, SORRY, SORRY, SORRY, SORRY, SORRY, SORRY...(Goes on to infinity.)
I'm SO sorry for taking so long to respond, Silverwipe! I was at an orientation meeting for the college I'm going to next year all of after school yesterday (it's in the city and I live in the country, so it takes a while to get there ), so I didn't go on the internet that much yesterday and failed to see your messaged. Still, I'm REALLYYYY sorry about leaving you hanging like that...
...Anyway, I would love to have you help on this. If you're good enough in Japanese, could you take look at some of my previous translations and correct any errors you see? There's this one scene in particular, whose translation I have never been satisfied with...If you're willing, would you like to take a crack at it and look it over? (But, by the way, what do you mean by you can't understand the kanji Rai, the protagonist, uses? For the most part of what I've seen, his words in kanji have been pretty much like everyone elses.)
Please respond in your next message with how you feel about the idea. If you like it, I'll send you the scene in question for you to look at. And once again, sorry for being silent for so long...

I looked over them. Like I said - can't even start complaining about how hard it is to read in japanese. I know hira so I make out parts, but i do not not know enough kanji to actually to perfectly understand the phrases. And being codegeass, they got some totally absurd kanji... But voice wise I can understand almost all the phrases.
What you guys did up till now on the geass route confronted with the game up and top is good. Small typos and different interpretations are possible, especially during c.c. scene's, but her dialog, no, her form of speaking is similar to Horo - from Spice and Wolf sometimes, not like using old form pronouns, but when speaking sounds are a bit different spurring up some confusion, but all in all you guys did an awesome work till now.

It's Eternal Dreamer. I'm the custodian that will clean up the doc. and clear up misspells. I don't think I'm actually going to translate as I originally wanted.
Fall I'm going to take Japanese courses. If there is a game left to translate of course.

You want something to translate, Palad? Well, now that you mention it...(Sees opportunity and puts on innocent smile) There IS this one scene that I've always been uncertain about which I would love for someone to look over. You know the one with the workers during the first few days? My translation for that one is, at best, sketchy, so I was wondering if you could help me translate it better. Actually, while we're at it, could you help on this as well, Silverwipe? Luckily the sections of the scene that I'm uncertain about all have people talking, so it shouldn't be a problem for either of you. I'll send the scene to both of you as soon as I finish this message. Please give me you thoughts on it. And once again, thank you for both of your offers to help.

Do you see blockchain technologies as a significant game changer for energy providers?
I certainly see blockchain gaining momentum in the utilities industry. The future market is set to be a two-way system made up of billions of interacting endpoints: everything from smart plugs, smart meters, solar PV systems to digital customer platforms, just to name a few.
In this enormous, anonymous environment, security of data exchange and seamless transactions will be essential for effective market operation. So if you think about it, in place of current technologies, blockchain or similar technology could underpin the marketplace for these transactions.
Why do you believe energy providers should consider blockchain technologies?
Interestingly, data security and system transparency may not be the only benefits blockchain brings to the energy ecosystem. A distributed ledger will make it possible to facilitate machine-to-machine, smart-contract-based interactions. Devices could understand each other and be able to automatically cooperate and transact.
For example, smart home appliances—such as a smart plug or smart meter—connected to an energy trading platform could continuously look for the best offer and automatically alternate to a new energy provider through a smart contract. This would become an effortless experience for the customer, yet allow them to interact via their home directly to energy spot markets.
What innovative use of blockchain technologies have you seen in the marketplace?
I like the electric vehicle charging example. Challenges around limited, affordable charging infrastructure are hampering EV adoption. But that may soon change, thanks to innovative collaboration between utilities and blockchain providers that are reinventing the way roaming EV charging costs are tracked and billed.
In the future, you could foresee automated authorization processes, paired with wireless charging devices, that allow vehicles to charge while waiting at traffic lights—with billing done automatically by interconnected devices. In short, the EV becomes a virtual wallet, which could lead to other opportunities.
What intrigues you the most about disruptive innovation in the new energy retail ecosystem?
The next wave of disruptive innovation has already arrived, and it's causing proactive energy providers to rethink the fundamentals of energy market transactions and explore future opportunities. As blockchain, artificial intelligence, virtual reality and other disruptions loom, no one can predict the future energy consumer ecosystem for certain.

2013 Toyota Highlander Hybrid, Reviews, News, & Model Prices – Automobile Magazine
2013 Toyota Highlander Hybrid
SUM UP (3 Stars)
By Automobile Magazine 1/31/2013
What's New for Highlander Hybrid in 2013
The four-cylinder is now available only in the base model. A touch-screen stereo display is now standard, and Toyota's Entune infotainment system is optional on the SE. more
The 2013 Toyota Highlander Hybrid is a four-door, midsize SUV which offers seating for up to seven occupants in three rows of seats. Toyota offers the Highlander Hybrid in Hybrid and Hybrid Limited trims. While not especially exciting, the Highlander offers carlike handling and ride qualities, convenient features, and exceptional reliability.
Mix in roomy passenger and cargo accommodations and the Highlander becomes an SUV well suited for growing families, and for parents who already have enough toddler-induced excitement in their lives.
The 2013 Toyota Highlander Hybrid presents itself much like a non-hybrid Highlander. Toyota does adorn the hybrid with a few subtle hybrid clues. These include a unique grille, a different bumper, and vertical fog lights. The Highlander Hybrid also sports subtle accents of blue-tinted plastic and chrome trim pieces. Overall, the Hybrid looks much the same as the standard Highlander.
Attractive though conservatively styled, the Highlander seems to lack its own identity, looking too much like a poor amalgamation of Toyota's car and truck design plans. Perhaps that lack of stylishness is exactly what endears buyers to the Highlander. The Highlander does possess an honest, straightforward design which gives it a certain charm all its own.
The Hybrid trim wears 17-inch, seven-spoke alloy wheels. Hybrid Limited trims add two inches and three spokes to Hybrid wheels, wearing 19-inch, 10-spoke alloy wheels. The seven-spoke wheels look cleaner than the 10-spoke.
Both Hybrid trims include standard roof rails, but the Limited replaces the matte-black rail for more fetching metallic rails. The Limited trim includes chrome door-handles rather than the body-colored handles found on the Hybrid.
Interior Cargo
The Highlander imparts one of the best designed and most attractive cabins in its segment. This is especially true for both trims of the 2013 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. Both Hybrid trims feature cabins similar to top-of-the-line trims like the SE and Limited non-hybrid vehicles. Much like the exterior design, interior gauges and controls have a straightforward, no nonsense layout which facilitates ease of use.
Outward visibility is top-notch thanks to outstanding window sizing and a high seating position. Both Hybrids come with standard leather seating, and the Hybrid Limited features perforated-leather seating. For the most part, the Hybrid includes standard and optional interior features similar to those in the non-hybrid 2013 Highlander SE trim.
Interior features found in the Hybrid Limited trim closely follow those found in the non-hybrid Limited trim.
The cabin design allows for maximum use of space and provides good head and leg room for both front and second row passengers. Third row seats are best left for younger children. Second row seats feature a clever 40/20/40-split design which not only adds variation to cargo configurations but also provides for easy access to third row seats.
The center portion of the second-row seats can be entirely removed to create an aircraft-like seating arrangement with a center aisle. The removed portion stows neatly into a hidden compartment beneath the center console. For even greater comfort, the second-row bench slides fore and aft.
Second-row seats also recline.
Adding hybrid efficiency doesn't sacrifice occupant and cargo space. The 2013 Toyota Highlander Hybrid offers the same cargo capacity as non-hybrid trims. That's a total of 95.4-cubic feet of space with second and third-row seats folded.
While the Highlander may be conservative and a touch unexciting, two circumstances during which the Highlander will actually raise drivers' pulse rates are before or during an accident. For the most part, Toyota has that covered. As a standard family-hauler, this vehicle needs to go beyond simple protection. The 2013 Highlander should protect kids and cargo just as well as any other midsized competitor (and in one case perhaps better).
Both Hybrid trims have standard all-wheel drive. Hill-descent control is not available on Hybrid models. Both Hybrid trims also include a back-up camera as a standard feature.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) awarded the 2013 Toyota Highlander a Top Safety Pick with Good ratings (the highest possible) in all tests. That's equal with most competitors. However, the Highlander gleaned better scores than did the Mazda in IIHS testing.
In National Highway Traffic Safety Administration crash tests, the Highlander scored as well as those 2013 competitors which have been tested. The 2013 Highlander earned an overall rating of four stars (out of a possible five).
Driving Experience
The 2013 Toyota Highlander Hybrid mimics most of its non-hybrid siblings' driving characteristics. As a whole, the Highlander is one of the more well-rounded vehicles in driving experiences. The Highlander doesn't do anything particularly well, but it doesn't do anything poorly either. It's a middle-of-the-road choice among midsize SUVs.
Handling is decent and ride quality is smooth. The steering can be dull and transmits a sense of limpness. On the plus side, the hybrid does provide less engine noise, and a smaller vehicle makes for easier parking and better low-speed maneuverability.
Don't expect to take the road less traveled in the Highlander Hybrid.
While Highlanders are rated for soft off-road duty, Toyota notes that hybrid versions are not designed to be taken offroad in any manner.
A 3.5-liter, V-6 engine establishes the foundation of the Highlander Hybrid. The V-6 coupled with an electric motor makes for a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle producing 270-horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. The Highlander Hybrid matches an electronically variable automatic-transmission to its hybrid drivetrain.
Equipped with Toyota's Electronic On-Demand 4WD with intelligence (4WD-i), the hybrid uses an additional electric motor to power its rear wheels rather than the usual driveshaft coupling found in most all-wheel-drive systems. 4WD-i varies rear torque output with driving conditions. Hybrid Highlanders can low-speed cruise on electric power only.
EPA rated fuel economy for the Highlander Hybrid is an impressive 28/28 mpg city/highway.
The 2013 Toyota Highlander Hybrid provides a 3500-pound towing capacity. 2013 Highlander Hybrids come with supplemental towing accessories as standard features. These include a heavy-duty radiator with an engine-oil cooler, a 240-watt fan coupling, and a supplemental transmission-oil cooler.

TMZ has learned the 26-year-old long-haired wannabe's mane is actually a wig and it's got "Idol" execs flipping out. Sources tell us Robbie never talks about his matted down piece and that makes production members feel like it's the blonde elephant in the room. It seems Simon was right last night -- Robbie is a fake!
Where's Sanjaya's pony-hawk or Kat McPhee's extensions when you need them?!
A rep for "Idol" would not comment.

There is no such thing as 100 percent safe ice.
· The Iowa Department of Natural Resources recommends a minimum of four inches of quality ice for fishing and at least five inches for snowmobiles and ATVs.
· Ice thickness is not uniform on any body of water. Things like current and springs slow ice growth. Rocks, trees or docks that poke through the ice like will conduct heat and make the ice around it less stable.
· There could be pockets of thin ice or places where ice recently formed, so it would be wise to check ice thickness as you go out.
· The insulating effect of snow slows down the freezing process.
· Safety items in the bucket: Ice picks, about 50 feet of rope and a throwable floatation seat cushion for use in case of rescue.
· Ice fishing is a social activity, don't go out alone. If the worst should happen, someone would be there to call for help or to rescue.
· Avoid off-colored snow or ice. It is usually a sign of weakness.
· Trust your instincts. If it doesn't look right, stay off.

Mendenhall gives Steelers lift in return
Rashard Mendenhall's surgically repaired right knee is just
fine. So too it seems is the Pittsburgh Steelers' running game.
Cutting with authority and showcasing the explosiveness that
made him a vital part of Pittsburgh's offense, Mendenhall rolled up
101 total yards and a touchdown in Pittsburgh's 16-14 victory over
Philadelphia on Sunday.
"Our savior is back," quarterback Ben Roethlisberger joked.
"We've been teasing him all week. It was great to see him out
there and he did a great job."
Playing for the first time since tearing the ACL in his right
knee on New Years Day, Mendenhall revived Pittsburgh's beleaguered
running game to take some of the pressure off Roethlisberger. The
Steelers (2-2) came in 31st in the league in rushing yards per game
and dead last in yards per carry.
Mendenhall took care of that, averaging a robust 5.8 yards on 14
carries, not including a 29-yard run wiped out by one of
Pittsburgh's nine penalties.
"When I stepped out there I knew that I would be comfortable
and just wanted to go out there and play the best that I could, and
I was able to do that," Mendenhall said.
He was just as effective out of the backfield, catching two
passes for 20 yards, including a 15-yard screen pass during
Pittsburgh's final drive that ended with Shaun Suisham's 34-yard
field goal as time expired.
"I thought he not only ran well and caught the ball, but he was
a source of energy for the unit," said Pittsburgh coach Mike
Tomlin. "That's what great players do. They inspire those around
them. I thought he did that for the group."
Philadelphia (3-2) appeared on the verge of its third one-point
win on the season when Michael Vick found Brent Celek for a 2-yard
score with 6:33 remaining, but the Eagles couldn't slow down the
Steelers during a methodical final drive in which Roethlisberger
converted a pair of critical third downs.
"I think they just made one more play than we did, and it
happens," said Philadelphia safety Kurt Coleman.
It's something the Eagles had done with regularity during
September, when they won three games by a total of four points.
The Eagles trailed the whole way but put together a grinding
17-play, 79-yard drive at the start of the final quarter,
converting a pair of risky fourth downs, including one deep inside
their own territory. LeSean McCoy turned both into first downs,
twisting for the necessary yardage on fourth-and-inches at the
Philadelphia 30, then bulling for two yards on fourth-and-1 at the
Pittsburgh 47.
"I don't know how I can say this humble … we felt like we
could drive on them," McCoy said.
Scoring, however, proved to be another matter.
"You're going to need to score more points, going to need to
help our defense out a lot more," Vick said. "And we tried to the
best we can. Pittsburgh's a good football team; their record might
not have shown it."
The Steelers came in smarting following a 34-31 loss in Oakland
two weeks ago before heading into a well-timed bye that allowed the
defense to get healthy. Pittsburgh hoped the return of linebacker
James Harrison and safety Troy Polamalu from injury would spark a
defense that looked a step slow in the second half of losses to the
Raiders and Broncos.
The reunion of the two stars didn't last long.
Polamalu left in the first quarter after re-aggravating a
strained right calf and the Steelers lost outside linebacker LaMarr
Woodley with a strained hamstring shortly thereafter.
Still, the Steelers prevented the Eagles from making big plays.
Philadelphia's longest gain was all of 24 yards and Pittsburgh
forced Vick to fumble three times – including one into the end zone
that Steelers linebacker Larry Foote pounced on – and didn't let
him get anything going with his legs.
"Our defense stood up today," said Steelers linebacker
Lawrence Timmons. "We really needed this win. A good team is
always defined by what they do after losses."
Pittsburgh took a 10-0 halftime lead behind a lateral from
Roethlisberger to Mendenhall that the running back turned into a
13-yard touchdown. The Steelers later added 20-yard field goal by
Suisham, though they missed a chance to go up two touchdowns when
Jerricho Cotchery tripped going into the end zone just before
Suisham's kick.
Philadelphia drew within 10-7 on a 15-yard touchdown pass from
Vick to McCoy, setting up a dramatic fourth quarter in which the
Steelers turned the tables on the Eagles.
"Things happen," Vick said. "I wish I could take the fumble
back on the goal line but you can't. Ultimately I think we put
ourselves into a position to win this game and we didn't win."

What's your favorite 'atheist' song? (Mine is John Mayer's 'Belief'.)
...Or at least one you interpret as atheist in nature...
Views: 2924
I love 'Imagine' by John Lennon.
The Doors 'People Are Strange' may be a good song as well since it deals with the strangeness of us humans and that feeling of aloneness we all feel at times.
I wrote a song a few years ago called 'Everyone Is God' which basically says that whatever god is, we are it. If god is nothing more then the laws of nature in motion - so be it. In the song I say that god is "life, death, and everything in between." Now, imagine that.

In August, Shabelle Media Network, one of Somalia's leading independent broadcasters, did something incredibly brave--they rebroadcast news and music that the BBC's Somali-language service beams to the war-torn Horn of African nation in defiance of a ban imposed by hard-line militant Islamist rebel groups Al-Shabaab and Hizbul Islam. For Somali journalists, who risk death by crossfire and assassination, and censorship from both insurgents and the weak U.S.-backed transitional government, it was a courageous pushback against forces hostile to independent media.
"We just made the decision not to be intimidated by these groups," explained Nairobi-based Shabelle correspondent Abdulkarim Jimale. "I'm sure they will kill us eventually, but then a Somali journalist's life is short anyways." Jimale was speaking from experience--since the conflict between Islamist insurgents and the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia began in late 2006, five Shabelle journalists have been murdered in the line of duty.
More than four
months ago, Al-Shabaab insurgents closed down the
BBC's facilities in its strongholds in southern Somalia, confiscating its
properties and forcing local media to cancel contracts with the outlet. Around
the same time, Al-Shabaab's rival Islamist faction, Hizbul Islam, told radio
stations that they had 10 days to ban music.
"It is against Islam to play music and other lyrics," Hizbul Islam
leader Sheikh Ma'alin Hashi told reporters at a press conference in Mogadishu,"
Kenya's Nation reported. All broadcasters in
"I decided to record gunshot sounds for our news bulletins," one journalist who requested anonymity told CPJ. "There's plenty of them to record around here and that's usually what is covered in the news anyways."
As if the insurgents' censorship wasn't enough, the government threatened to suspend stations in their strongholds that complied with the music ban. "We will not tolerate the four radio stations that halted airing music and songs in the government-controlled area," Abdikafi Hilowle, the general-secretary of Banadir Regional Administration, which includes the capital, told reporters at an April press conference. On one hand, former Somali Information Minister Dahir Gelle signed a contract to air BBC and Voice of America programs on the state-run Radio Mogadishu, but, on the other, security agents shut down two stations that complied with the music ban for six hours the minister reversed the order, local journalists told CPJ. One of the stations affected, Tusmo Radio, said the conflicting directives of the militia and the government confused them, Shabelle reported.
Notwithstanding, the tiny enclave controlled by the government in Mogadishu and protected by African Union peacekeepers has become a relative haven for Somalia's independent press. In June, for instance, increasingly draconian Al-Shabaab restrictions forced Shabelle to stealthily transfer its equipment, bit-by-bit, from the insurgent-controlled Bakara Market area to the besieged government zone. The station then resisted the insurgents' order to ban coverage of Somalia's July 1 Independence Day celebrations. Before the move, Al-Shabaab commanders had delivered new directives to Shabelle that included orders to never mention shells fired by Al-Shabaab "because our shells are religious" and to refer to civilians killed by them as "martyrs," Shabelle Chairman Abdimaalik Yusuf told CPJ in an e-mail.
The move may have been timely: Al-Shabaab seized control of Radio IQK, another Mogadishu broadcaster which focused on Islamic issues, during the holy month of Ramadan. Radio IQK director Muhammad Adbiwahab read a notice sent by Al-Shabaab to local reporters declaring that all the radio staff were allowed to continue working under Al Shabaab "or they can leave."
For the media outlets working inside the safer, government zone--the state-run Radio Mogadishu, Shabelle, Tusmo, Voice of Democracy, Codka Nabadda, the U.N.-backed Bar-Kulan, HCTV and Universal TV--fear of the insurgents induces self-censorship, Information Minister Abdirahman Osman told CPJ. "Tusmo and Codka Nabadda, even though they are based in our controlled area, they do not air music due to fear of Al-Shabaab," Minister Osman said, "HCTV also received threats from Al-Shabaab and they take the easy option of not showing criticism of Al-Shabaab."
Osman claimed that the media works without restrictions in the government-controlled areas, but journalists tell me that they all practice self-censorship, wherever their station is located. "You are not allowed to take pictures. If government soldiers are defeated in battle, they complain--whether it is fact or not," said CPJ award-winner Mustafa Haji Abdinur. Police detained Abdinur and freelance cameraman Yusuf Jama in July for taking pictures of a colleague who was hit in crossfire. The journalists were interrogated for several hours and forced to delete their photographs, Abdinur told CPJ.
"Journalists feel more freedom in reporting in the government-controlled
area since they are unlikely to be killed by government soldiers--but in the
rebel-controlled area, that is a different story," said another award-winning
journalist and BBC correspondent, Mohamed

Nonetheless, Somali journalists are still venturing into the field and reporting one of the world's worst humanitarian disasters on a daily basis. And some of those who were forced to flee the capital to survive continue to report from outside Somalia's borders. Since August, the Nairobi-based Star FM, a Kenyan Somali-language station, can be heard in Mogadishu and soon in neighboring Puntland and Somaliland, Star reporter Kassim Mohamed told me. While some Kenyan radio stations can be heard along the border, the BBC reports, this is the first time one can be heard in the capital.

But, if you've got guard-cats like in this insane new video from CorridorDigital, you should be able to keep the thieves at bay.
Where to even begin with this? I don't know. Tina showed it to me, and so of course I had to post it in the off-topic. You can download the song, by Savant, here. Everyone doing well? I haven't watched this week's Walking Dead, but I heard it's maybe not such a great episode. I'll watch it soon, I think.

The King and the Tiger
Today, children, I will be telling you a fable. Once upon a time, there lived a just and wise king. A king who was loved and respected by his subjects. Not that this is germane to the fable but one has to build up atmosphere, no?
Right. The king had had a hard day hunting in the forest. He was on the trail of a fierce tiger. His team of drum-beaters and conch-blowers had cornered the beast for the king to kill but somehow, the tiger gave the entourage the slip. Darkness was falling. The king decided to go back to the palace.
At the palace, the king had a quick bath and a meal, washed down with a pitcher of chilled beer, and was asleep in no time, thanks to his strenuous hunt. And soon, he slipped into a dream.
He dreamt he was in the forest again. Chasing the tiger. Hot in pursuit, the brave king outran his entourage and soon, he realised he was in deep shrubbery, without any sign of the tiger. The silence was chilling. The wind would rustle the leaves once in a while. Suddenly, a bird or two would chirp out shrilly, startling the king. There was no sign of the tiger at all.
The king knew it was out there somewhere. He could almost sense it. Night was falling and the king suddenly felt that the hunter and the hunted had interchanged places. It was his turn to feel scared.
Suddenly, the king heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. A sixth sense told him this was not the breeze and he instinctively leaped towards a babul tree which stood before him. It was not a moment too soon, children, for indeed, it was the tiger and it had made a charge towards the spot the king was standing nary a minute ago. The king's instinct had saved him from certain death!
Safely atop the tree, the king looked down at the tiger. After a few tries at climbing the tree, which was too slender to bear its weight, the beast had settled down on its haunches, waiting for the king to come down, as it sensed he must, sooner or later.
The king to do nothing but wait, now, could he? He hoped fervently that his entourage would return and scare the beast away. But night had fallen and the forest was eerily silent. In the dim light of the moon, the king could see the glittering, watchful eyes of the tiger. The king was beginning to despair.
And to add to his problems, he needed to go to the bathroom very badly. Number one, if you know what I mean. Getting off the tree was out of the question so the king decided to do wee wee straight from the branch.
To the kings amazement, the tiger grabbed the stream of pee - yes, just like that - and started climbing up!
The king was startled and stopped peeing. The tiger fell on the ground with a resounding thud. The king decided to pee again.
Again the tiger grabbed the stream and started climbing. When it was almost at the branch, the king stopped peeing again and the tiger fell, this time with a louder thud.
Again the king started peeing and again the tiger started climbing and again the king stopped and again the tiger fell. This time the silly tiger did not get up. It had broken its neck.
The king was overjoyed and relieved. He decided to shin down the tree and ....
awoke to find his missus - the queen, that is - absolutely furious that he had peed all over his mattress.
The moral, dear children, is not to drink too much beer before going to sleep.

This came in the mail today:
There once was a king who lived in two-story grass hut. Every holiday the king demanded to be given a new throne as a gift. As soon as a new throne arrived, he would store the old throne on the second level of his hut and use the new one instead. But one day the hut collapsed from the weight of all the thrones, and everyone was crushed and killed.
The moral of this story? Those who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones.
as much a Shenoy as anything :P

Finns And Norwegians Argue Over Who Owns The Northern Lights
from the alaska? dept
The tension was triggered by a short film that the Finnish Tourist Board posted on its channel on video-sharing platform YouTube, featuring time-lapse footage of the aurora in Finnish Lapland. The film has been viewed almost 400,000 times since September, prompting Norwegians to complain that the Finns are trying to "steal" the northern lights.The idea of ownership over shared things is getting downright ridiculous.
"We can not stand by and watch the Finns try to grab a bigger share" of the northern lights market, said Per-Arne Tuftin of Innovation Norway, a state-owned company that promotes tourism in Norway. "We will not give up -- the northern lights will be ours," he told the Troms&ostrok;-based newspaper Nordlys, whose name translates appropriately as Northern Lights. Back in 2009, Innovation Norway launched a campaign to brand the northern lights as a Norwegian phenomenon.

Grae's Rating:
More memorable than the Alamo.
It didn't dawn on me how much I missed Texas until I saw the opening title card of Bernie, telling me what I'm "fixin' to see." Richard Linklater has shrugged off the shackles of period pieces like Me and Orson Welles and the floaty animation of A Scanner Darkly, and gone back to what he does best, which is put small-town Texas up on the big screen. This time, the story is a doozy--and it's true, too.
In Texas, you can gauge the size of the town by how many Dairy Queens there are. Dallas has 10 within just a 10-mile radius of the city center with many more suburbs to go, but Carthage looks like it has one for the whole town. So imagine the horror that a murder of one of its citizens would cause. In this case, the perpetrator is the much-beloved assistant funeral director Bernie Tiede (Jack Black), who normally spent his time consoling the bereaved and singing in the church choir, not killing anyone. The weird part is that he killed Marjorie Nugent (Shirley MacLaine), a mean old widow that no one but Bernie liked. So what gives?
Linklater's film is an amazing blend of re-creation and documentary, letting the story unfold around spot-on acting by the cast and candid interviews with the actual Carthage residents (and Matthew McConaughey's mom Kay, who is a real firecracker). I mistakenly spent a lot of time up front trying to figure out who was a real person and who was an actor, which I realized was a waste of time because they fit so well together anyway. The producers of Unsolved Mysteries only wish that they could have created something so captivating and seamless.
Jack Black has never been so good. He completely disappears into the character and creates a man that you want to reach out and hug forever, just in the hopes that some of his goodness will rub off on you. As the story gets crazier and Marjorie gets more and more demanding of Bernie's time, even as his cracks start to show, he still oozes compassion. The part of the story that Linklater and co. captures perfectly is the fact that you can clearly see both sides of the equation. Murder is wrong, but he must have had his reasons. This is what leads the townspeople to react the (hilarious) way they do--which drives district attorney Danny Buck Davidson (Matthew McConaughey) crazy. And we're lucky enough to hear the real people talking about it, just like they do over their beers on the porch. Turns out a trip to the theater just saved me a few hundred bucks in airfare.

ForEver Sunshine Girls!

The Sunshine Girls
The Sunshine Girls (left to right) Tunisha, LaVetta, Drusilla (Me), and Maria helped me begin my 40th birthday celebrations.
ForEver Sunshine Girls!
Prior to my current employment, which began in December 1999, I had never been one to hang out with coworkers outside of work, but several years ago I bonded with these three coworkers in this photo. We called ourselves "The Sunshine Girls," a name that came about after one of the coworkers (Tunisha) and I took a bus trip to New York with a bus company called Sunshine Tours. After this trip in April 2000 or 2001, Tunisha and I began addressing each other as "Sunshine." I don't remember whether we began hanging out with the other two coworkers before, or after our New York trip. However, as our relationship evolved, the name "Sunshine Girls" stuck to this group.
The four of us, all single at the time, would go out for dinner, a concert, or other activity occasionally. When I turned 40 in September 2003, I told Maria, a coworker of Phillipine descent, that I had never been to a Japanese Restaurant. As a result, she invited me to a local Japanese restaurant to celebrate my birthday, along with the two other Sunshine Girls. This celebration, which I call my Pre-40th Birthday event, was held two weeks prior to my actual birthday and big 4-0 party.
The Sunshine Girls posing (left to right) Tunisha, Drusilla (Me), Maria, and LaVetta
Today, there are only two Sunshine Girls still working in my current employment organization and the two of us often remininense about our the Sunshine Girls. Although, I miss the time all of us spent together many years ago, I will forever cherish these wonderful memories. I thank God for these Sunshine sisters and for the the joy that they brought to my life during our times together.
ForEver Sunshine Girls!

Harem End may be Best End, but if I was told To Love Ru would end with Rito in a monogomous relasionship with Lala, I'd be bloody cheer.
I may feel bad for the other girls, but Lala is #1 after all

I responded: You forget, Momo and Mea are the ones with their minds in their lady parts. Without them, we have no fantasies, and they do push the girls to make a move. After all, in this series, the girls have to be the one to make a move, because what would you call Rito if he made a move, hell, ANY boy that would make a move? Saruyama and Principal. Why do you think the girls love Rito so much? He's playing hard to get, he reminds them of the hunt*v*.

Yeah, I've edited Yui's name without your post as it was spelling. However I always keep forgetting Haruna's name. Shows how much I care for that character.
Haruna, Haruka - its all the same as in my mind I just call her Useless.

Since Ren cares about Lala, it's only right for him to warn his competitor not to make her (or any other girls for the matter) upset due to his indecisiveness, now that he has a chance to speak without Run overhearing/dominating over him with appearance time.

It could happen, another possibility as he's been training to be manly, he may well become a gentleman, offering insights to Rito's wrong doings or acknowledge Lala's choice. A part of me felt that some part of Ren's speech with Rito was like a brother protecting his sister (Run)...

That is a good point. I guess there's always 2 sides on how to see something. Either Ren in his own way gave in and passed his baton to Rito while saying don't fuck this up kid, or he's just a jealous dick who will ruin the harem plan-v-.

If Ren wants to have some fun too, I can`t blame him.
I know being in his place, I don`t think I would be fine with Rito having all the girls.
I`m totally fine with him having some action with a girl actually.(I guess I`m not that loyal to Rito.) So long it`s not twincest...*shiver*

usually, I hate it when a male character, tries to interfere in a relationship between two main characters ..,(in route harem)
But i have to see...Ren has right when he said those words to Rito..
Don't get my wrong...I like this series soo much...and also the previous series..i like the comedy,the ecchi,the story..i like everything..
But..all the girls have been under development in the manga...
On the contrary, Rito, still ashamed when Lala is getting so close to him...like in chapter 10..
I think that his character, has not developed at all....should be used to seeing a naked girl..,how can ashamed, when Lala just get close to him....
I think, if Ren try to get close to Lala...making Rito jealous, this, could give a shake a Rito..just to let him know..that does not make any type of move to the girl...is really bad..
Come-on Rito. you're not doing anything...try to do something..

The only time Rito reacted was when he mistaken Haruna x Ren together, but only when Ren was getting so much attention from other girls (it's almost like Ren gained Rito's power for the day). Now I think about, Ren's speech to Rito is almost a well mirrored of that particular CH where Rito was warning Ren, but less aggressive.
It'll be interesting how Momo, nevermind just Rito, would react if the planned recruit to his harem gets a date with some1 else.

What is the definition ? Incest full of win.
I don`t think Ren will ever get a better chance.
I`m with Merilyn Mensola, Rito needs a good kick in ... for Lala.

Bo Van Pelt came from nowhere in posting a 64 in today's round at Augusta, tying the best-ever score on a Sunday at the Masters and falling a stroke shy of the all-time single-round record. He did it with the help of this ace on the 16th.
We knew about this hours ago, but can only bring you video now because of the antiquated approach to media taken by either rights-holder CBS or Augusta National itself. It's kind of a joke that several hours of the esteemed tournament's final day cannot be viewed on any television outlet—you can, apparently, watch via the Masters iPad app (of all things) but not on domestic or international TV. We're sure ESPN would have loved to bring you golf instead of PBA bowling; regardless, here's the shot we've been waiting for. [CBS]

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The nationally-ranked No. 13 MIT men's volleyball saw its record move to 5-5 on the year after a 2-2 performance at the Golden Flyer Invitational hosted by Nazareth College this past weekend. The Engineers swept No. 11 Medaille College, 25-22, 20-15, 25-20, but fell to Elmira College, 20-25, 25-18, 21-25, 27-25, 15-7, on Saturday. The next day, MIT blanked Southern Vermont College, 27-25, 25-21, 25-19, and then dropped a 28-30, 25-19, 25-22, 21-25, 15-8 decision to No. 5 Nazareth. Junior Paul Syta (Fairport, N.Y.) represented the Cardinal and Gray on the all-tournament team.
Senior Matt Hohenberger (St. Louis, Mo.) produced 14 kills, a .310 hitting performance, five digs, and three aces against Medaille while junior Ken Siebert (St. Louis, Mo.) registered nine kills, a .444 hitting percentage, and four blocks. Senior Patrick Vatterott (St. Louis, Mo.) tallied six blocks, five kills, and four digs as Syta posted 30 assists and seven digs. Freshman Brendan Chang (Laytonsville, Md.) and sophomore Chris Omahan (Mount Vernon, Ohio) rounded out the defense with six and four digs, respectively.

Due to the sudden amount of extra free time I have this month I have now been working on two different personal illustrations one of which I just started (which is another inspired by Halloween) and a Japanese themed one which I had started about a year ago and had almost forgotten about it.
The image to the left is a close-up preview, small section of the very large (Japanese themed) painting that I have been working on titled "Misaki". So far I have put a ton of hours into it including the work I had started a year ago. I am really pushing myself farther with the detail and realism of this piece especially since It will be going into my portfolio. I even hand painted and designed the pattern for her Kimono as well which took a lot of time on it's own. As tempting as it can be to paste a pre-existing pattern onto your artwork I felt it was important to dedicate the time to create/paint this personalized pattern for the character as it tells a story about her as well. Each of the flowers on her Kimono represent different traits of her personality and character :) This wiki guide was helpful link. I don't like to use pre-existing patterns anyway since it's far more fulfilling/rewarding to take the time to create your own.
Apart from some other recent paintings I have finished and others still in the works for my Art-book this one will be posted to my website :).
The full version of this image is 10,000 pixels tall and includes a detailed background of a Japanese garden (which I'm still refining) a few plants and flowers in the foreground and another figure standing beside her. The full figures are shown in the image as well. I'm finally just about done with this image and will be posting it soon. Keep checking back! :)
Painted using Adobe Photoshop and Corel Painter.
I hope you all like the preview and thanks for your visit! :D

CRESTVIEW � Main Street attorney Nathan Boyles is lamenting the loss of a downtown eatery that was next door to his office.
CRESTVIEW � Main Street attorney Nathan Boyles is lamenting the loss of a downtown eatery that was next door to his office.
After more than five years, Christopher's Uncorked Bistro has shuttered its doors. A "for sale" sign is posted in front of the building.
Owner Chris Odom has said the restaurant struggled to stay open with insufficient dinner business during the recent recession.
Attempts to contact Odom were unsuccessful, but neighboring businesses indicated the restaurant succumbed to downtown's reduced evening traffic.
"He just couldn't make it," Viola Owens, manager of Hart Printing, said. "In a business like that you need traffic after 5 p.m., and there just isn't any downtown traffic most evenings."
Joe Ballreich agreed with that sentiment on our Facebook page.
�Our downtown needs a huge upgrade ... It�s not a cool and hip place to go,� he said. �Most of the businesses close up shop early before people get off from work.
�There is also not a lot of (places) for the many young adults and families to hang out on Main Street. Nothing to draw people to go to Main Street at night.�
Past patrons cited prices and irregular businesses hours as reasons they couldn�t eat at the restaurant.
Small business is a challenge everywhere, particularly here in Okaloosa County�s largest city, Boyles said.
�As downtown Crestview grows and changes over time, there will be businesses that come and go,� he said.
After renovating the downtown commercial building, Odom opened the restaurant in 2008 as a Crestview location of Guglielmo's Italian Grill and Pizza restaurants.
However, after two years, he shed the franchise relationship and its expensive fees.
A sense of liberation descended on the casually elegant Main Street restaurant; as he put it, �I came Uncorked.�
Under the Christopher�s Uncorked Bistro name, Odom, free from corporate restrictions, introduced a menu based on dishes his customers often requested.
Italian and Mediterranean selections were joined by Creole and Cajun dishes, and the lunch menu featured fare including gourmet hamburgers.
The restaurant's upstairs banquet room was a venue for group meetings and receptions, and hosted local performances of Act4Murder dinner theater productions.
Despite the restaurant�s June closure, Boyles looks forward to his future business neighbor � whoever that may be.
"I'm optimistic another business will take the space and start serving more great food," he said.
