For sale a superb Dahlberg thruster.
Dims measuring 6'3"x 18 5/8 x 2 5/16
This board absolutely flies, given the right conditions of head high and a bit of punch and will handle plenty bigger than that. Good for reefs, solid beachbreaks and all round travelling board.
Sadly it has had very little use since I bought it from the man himself in Angourie, Oz.
In very good condition, few pressure dings on the bottom of the board and some minor glass fracture on the rails.

Does anyone here keep up with BentoTV (http://www.bentotv.com/)? I followed it because even though it was very simple and basic recipes, she had some nice ideas for a beginner bento. She also has one of the largest selections of bento supplies I've seen on ebay (http://stores.ebay.com/Bento-Obento-Shop), and she was very reliable in shipping. So far all of my bento stuff has been bought from her.
She hasn't updated in a while and I even emailed her to see what was up. I was wondering if anyone followed her and knew something. It'd be sad to see her nice video blog die. :/
Yum yum bento yum yum!
BentoTV has been a VERY big influence on me - and I have bought a few things from Sarah as well.
hmm - maybe I will nudge her - I have an alternate addy for her - if you want to contact her better to go thru Ebay than the addy at the BentoTV website.
~ Begin by knowing you have already arrived ~
my blog - http://honeysheistwisted.blogspot.com/
thanks for teh tip! I was just worried something bad happened or she died or something terrible. XD
I can't get the videos to play. :(
I use Firefox. The site keeps telling me to download the newest ver of Quicktime, gives the link, I download, and all it does is create conflicts with my other plugins. So I gave up.
I'm using firefox to (version 3.0.6) and it does work just fine. The site told me to install the newest version of quicktime too. But I dind't do it....... my quicktime version has the number 188.8.131.52
don't know if this helps
software conflicts are such a b*****
Does anyone know her last name? ^_^
I use both explorer and firefox, and both browsers do not display the videos. Just so you know its nor a firefox problem. Perhaps you can find her videos on YouTube? This way you will not have to download anything.
Cookn' it up at easy recipes!
Oh, no no no! Sarah's videos annoy me more than I would ever have thought possible, but that's just my personal opinion. A fact that you should be aware of is that *most* of her stuff is dollar store junk sold at a huge mark-up. I don't think she set out to rip people off and I'm sure that ebay and paypal fees are part of the reason for the prices, but before you buy you should check your local Dollar Tree and the dollar bins at Target. Also try to find out if there are any Asian dollar or grocery stores in your area. What she doesn't get at Dollar Tree seems, for the most part, to come from Daiso or Ichiban Kan, which unfortunately only have locations on the West Coast, so the rest of us have to rely on West Coasters selling the stuff online. If you see something you like and can't get it locally, order if you wish if you think the price is fair. It just drives me nuts when I see people selling boxes that I know cost $1.50 originally for $10 plus shipping- and sometimes even the shipping rates are inflated. :/

Fifty Shades of Grey: Universal Is Suing Mad Over Porn Film "Rip-Off"
Talk about cracking the legal whip!
Fifty Shades Ltd., the original copyright holder of E.L. James' Fifty Shades of Grey, and Universal Pictures, which controls the movie rights, are suing the makers of a porn flick dubbed Fifty Shades of Grey: a XXX Adaptation, alleging they're violating the copyright and trademark on the best-selling trilogy and creating confusion in the marketplace.
Per the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles and obtained by E! News, the plaintiffs claim Smash Pictures and adult video director James Lane, who's credited onscreen as Jim Powers, have engaged in a "willful attempt to capitalize on the reputation of the book."
According to court docs, the studio and Fifty Shades Ltd. argue that Smash honcho Stuart Wall declared his intentions to essentially make a knockoff of the popular BDSM-themed novel about a college graduate named Anastasia Steele and her kinky affair with Christian Grey, a wealthy businessman.
As evidence, the suit points to an interview Wall gave LA Weekly last summer in which the executive was quoted as saying, "Since they are going to make a mainstream [movie] of the books, too, dabbling in the adult world we're choosing to go with a XXX adaption which will stay very true to the book and its S&M-themed romance."
That didn't go over so well with Universal and company. "By lifting exact dialogue, characters, events, story, and style from the Fifty Shades trilogy, Smash Pictures ensured that the first XXX adaptation was, in fact, as close as possible to the original works," states the suit.
Universal and Fifty Shades Ltd. must have procured a copy somehow, because their complaint then lists in detail the supposed violations.
"Beginning with the first XXX Adaptation's opening scene and continuing throughout the next 2½ hours of the film, Smash Pictures copies without reservation from the unique expressive elements of the Fifty Shades trilogy, progressing through the events of Fifty Shades of Grey and into the second book, Fifty Shades Darker," reads the suit. "The first XXX adaptation is not a parody, and it does not comment on, criticize, or ridicule the originals. It is a rip-off, plain and simple."
Another defendant named in the action is distributor Luv Moves, which has been accused of including sex toys with the DVD in a kit called Fifty Shades of Pleasure: Play Kit & Movie.
Universal, which is in the process of developing its own big-screen version of the steamy best-seller, and Fifty Shades are asking a court to issue an injunction and award monetary damages.
Reps for Universal and Smash Pictures declined to comment on the litigation.

Migrant entrepreneurship supported by mentors
As recognised by evidence at international level, migrant entrepreneurship can be a powerful trigger for economic development and social integration at local, national and EU level. At the same time, even if migrants are as an average more likely to start businesses than their native-born peers, the difficulties they meet are huge and multifaceted; moreover, national contexts can provide very different environments for new entrepreneurship. Tailored, expert and context specific support does therefore respond to a deeply felt need, as well as to priority 2 of the AMIF Call for Proposal, in line with the objectives of the European Agenda for Migration (2015): the project will implement concrete initiatives aimed at facilitating the access to work of migrants and will contribute to value the role migrant entrepreneurs can play to foster integration.
The project activities will be the design, implementation, test and evaluation of two cycles of light incubation (concentrated in time and specifically focused on the validation of business ideas) for entrepreneurial projects proposed by migrants, supported by tutors and mentors in five EU countries, and the subsequent dissemination and mainstreaming. Each project will undergo a complete cycle of selection and incubation, based on an adapted version of the business model canvas: in each step business ideas will be challenged, revised, strengthend up to the final step of market access. The relationship with mentors is the core of the project, because the potential for improving new and emerging business ideas through the interaction with people expert and experienced in the given business sector and national context has proven very high in many incubation projects in the EU and elewhere. Mentors will be thus guiding new entrepreneurs, while at the same time strengthening their own networks.
The expected project results are: a call for ideas and call for people, with the object of attracting migrants aiming at developing a business or to join a team of entrepreneurs; Short Training Sessions, including project presentations, tutoring, traditional training; light incubation programmes, including a series of on line and off line interactions, especially focused on mentors' matching events; pitching sessions in front of relevant stakeholders, potential partners and credit operators. The final outcome will be around fiftly sound business ideas ready to market (five per cycle per country).
The beneficiaries of the project will be migrants aiming to start a business, migrants and natives who will find emplyoment opportunities in such businesses, a network of expert mentors who will at the same time provide knowledge and guidance, but also strengthen their networks in a multi-cultural business environment, policy makers at different levels who will be engaged in the discussion of the results of cross-national experimentation.

Ichigo 100% feels really draggy especially if you wait 1 chapter per week with it, but when you read it in a marathon syle (3+ volume per reading), I for one didnt feel the drag at all. The same applies with Suzuka. Although Suzuka broke some manga boundaries by showing a lengthy arc featuring their lives as a couple( Which is not SHOUJO FANTASY-ISH -_- ) and the trials they undertook, which registered masterpiece for me.
As with Dark Mage, I would also like this series to be a medium length one ( a little less than 100 chapters would do ), but I'm following this on a weekly basis so it would really feel draggy at times

but I liked how haruto acted in this chapter. He was bit more mature and I liked it when he said Kanzaki's brother was leading Akagi on despite knowing that she liked him. Haruto unlike other manga characters atleast isn't indecisive.He already mentioned to Eba that he likes kazaki

Could there be a deal in the making? I could see the two guys engineering a swap - Yuzuki for Nanami. Not unlike the scheme in True Tears, when Shinichi exchanged Hiromi for Noe.
If things don't work out between Haruto and Yuzuki, I think Akari is a better backup plan than Nanami. Haruto doesn't act nearly as silly around Akari, which is always a good start.
And the biggie - why is Yuzuki staying at the house? Could it be that both sets of parents are preparing an omiai?
Stay tuned...

Nah, it's about time that some more relationships other than the Yuzuki-Haruto-Nanami triangle are being set up. Anything else, and the story will get stale. However, I need to point out at least one thing: Why can't Seo come up with male leads who aren't terribly dense in interpersonal relationships? Haruto definitely makes me wish Yamato back ^_^;

Man, I'm tempted to beat this into Haruto's head - while your feelings are important, so are your actions. And over the long run, it's what you do that will eventually win out.
- Yuzuki and Haruto are all lovey-dovey, whether Haruto is willing to admit it or not
- Nanami is fully supportive of Yuzuki and Haruto as a couple
- If Haruto thinks of Yuzuki "as a sister", he has one heck of a sister complex
- If you factor in Haruto's actions and the chemistry factor, the pecking order among the girls runs like this:
1. Yuzuki
2. Akari
3. Nanami
- It takes more than a mutual crush to sustain a relationship. And at this point, Haruto and Nanami may even fall short of that. They fail the acid test: if they really like each other, why don't either of them do anything?
Haruto may eventually see the light but I'm not too willing to sit through volumes upon volumes of love triangles, misunderstandings, and new love rivals. Let's hope this matter is resolved soon.

Honestly though, you're totally correct. Dude, Haruto, you're in love with her. Stop holding on to that flimsy male pride and get it together already.

Capturing Snow and Clouds (and Other White Things)
White is a burden for your camera's meter, which wants to present that as gray. The results are dingy looking snow and clouds. With a little know-how, we can compensate for that. In this article, we discuss the cause (your camera isn't broken) and outline a few options that you have to efficiently correct for the white-to-gray shift in your photography.

MACON, Ga. - This weekend, Lipscomb's men's soccer hosts its first ever soccer tournament opening with Presbyterian and concluding with the Atlantic Sun's Game of the Week, a Sunday meeting with UNC Asheville at 2:30 p.m. CT. The game can be seen on ASun.TV.
Lipscomb enters with a 2-4 mark. Among those four losses are two by single-goal margin. The Bisons opened the year with a 4-0 shutout win against former Atlantic Sun member Gardner-Webb but have gone through a tough stretch of games losing each of their last four decisions. In their last game, Lipscomb took on No. 20 Louisville and dropped a 5-2 decision. The Bisons start a young team with six freshmen, three sophomores, one junior and one senior. Sophomore forward Miguel DaSilva leads the Bisons in both points (seven) and goals (three). Freshman forward Andrew Chamberlain is second in points (four) and goals (two).
UNC Asheville owns a 2-2-1 mark with the four non-tie games ending in one-goal decisions. On Tuesday, the Bulldogs picked up their first win of 2008 in dramatic fashion as Ryan Haupt connected on the game-winning goal against Longwood with only 42 seconds remaining for a 3-2 victory at home. UNC Asheville had led by a 2-0 margin into the 84th minute before the Lancers struck twice within three minutes to level the contest. Prior to this win, the Bulldogs had scored only one goal in their first three matches combined in dropping 1-0 contests to Appalachian State on September 6th and at Elon on September 12th before tying UNC Greensboro two days later.
The Atlantic Sun Conference is an 11-member league committed to Building Winners for Life, with a focus on academic and athletic integrity and a balance between the two for the student-athlete, and maintaining a high level of sportsmanship. Headquartered in Macon, Ga., the A-Sun encompasses six of the top eight media markets in the Southeast. The A-Sun consists of some of the most dynamic private and public institutions in the region: Belmont University, Campbell University, East Tennessee State University, Florida Gulf Coast University, Jacksonville University, Kennesaw State University, Lipscomb University, Mercer University, University of North Florida, University of South Carolina Upstate and Stetson University.

London: The QPR star claims his representative has spoken to Rossoneri chief executive Adriano Galliani regarding a move that he sees as a platform to joining Real Madrid or Barcelona.
QPR star Adel Taarabt has claimed that his agent is in talks with AC Milan chief executive Adriano Galliani regarding a potential move to San Siro.
The Morocco international has impressed at Loftus Road this season and has consequently been linked with a move away from the struggling west London club.
Taarabt says that only a move to AC Milan would tempt him to turn down the advances of top English clubs as he sees the Serie A side as a potential stepping stone to a move to Real Madrid or Barcelona.
"I would only refuse offers from the big English clubs if Milan made me an offer," Taarabt told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"My agent is in talks with Galliani, but it depends on what happens with Robinho and [reported AC Milan target Javier] Pastore.
"Milan aren`t going through a glorious period now, and they`re no longer a part of the top clubs. However, if I joined Milan then it would open up the doors for me to great clubs like Real Madrid and Barca."
Taarabt believes that the success of Kevin-Prince Boateng in Milan is proof that he could succeed with the Italian giants.
The 23-year-old played with the Ghana midfielder at Tottenham but both struggled to make an impact on the first team at White Hart Lane before being sold.
"My friend Boateng is also at Milan," he added. "When we were at Tottenham he was often in the stands, so I think that I have a chance too."

Gavin Rossdale: Kingston's A Bully!
Former Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale took home "Rock Rebirth of the Year" at US Weekly's Hot Hollywood Party at New York City's Skylight on Tuesday.
The 42-year-old husband of Gwen Stefeni talked to JustJared.com about his upcoming tour, what Gwen and Kingston have in store for Halloween and starting up a foundation to start giving back. Read on!
GR: Great site, Jared. Great site! Congratulations. And great shoes!
JJ: Thank you! You and your wife wear great shoes all the time. Congratulations on your Rock award! So how does it feel to win Rock Rebirth of the Year?
GR: As soon as I find out what it means, I will ecstatic. (laughs) You know me, it's great. A win's a win, so it's good to be recognized. I don't know, you bring out records and most of the time no one knows you bring them out.
JJ: Are you currently still touring?
GR: Yeah, I'm about to go start I think in December. I start…a lot next year. This year's all promo and how the way it all works, there's so much you have to do to set it up. There's more on the record I still want to share.
(Click inside to read up on Gwen and Gavin's Halloween plans…)
JJ: Halloween is coming up. Do you and Gwen have any Halloween plans yet?
GR: Yeah, her brother is having a party, so we're going to that. I'm playing that night and then we're gonna go off and I don't know. She's really good at that stuff. I'm English so we're too uptight to be good at that stuff. I'd like dress as doctor and nurse but covered in blood. That's great. So anything to do with blood would probably be good.
JJ: Are Kingston and Zuma going to be be dressing up?
GR: Yea, Kingston has like three outfits. He's got a rhino, a tiger and I think an elephant, so he's got to choose between them. We keep rotating them. He's got style like his Mom.
J: Have Kingston and Zuma started fighting yet?
GR: It's mainly a one-sided fight right now because Zuma's pretty defenseless. But he's not a small baby, so I think that Kingston's got a couple years left and then he's gonna get in trouble.
JJ: Do you and Gwen plan to start your own foundation to give back?
GR: Yeah, that would be good, wouldn't it? We have talked about that. It's kind of a leap of faith to have your own foundation because you gotta be super successful unless it's a really small foundation. I did this event last week called The Lily Claire Foundation and I played the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. I played like a few songs there and it's such a good feeling when you do something like that that isn't about you so. I'll tell Gwen that you suggested it.
JJ: Thank you much. It was great meeting you!

Making sense after the smoke clears
By Frank Radosevich II
July 12, 2012
When an organization experiences a traumatic event, finding out what went wrong can often be a difficult task.
After two Forest Service helicopter rappellers died in the July 2003 Cramer Fire near Idaho's Salmon River, investigations were launched to learn what went wrong. Nine years later, the wildland firefighting community is still searching for answers and lessons that can be drawn from that fire.
Helping with that learning process recently was Dr. Elena Gabor, an assistant communication professor who studied the Cramer fire and how groups and individuals fighting the fire perceive time. This June, Dr. Gabor took part in what's known as a staff ride at the site of the fatal blaze.
Originally a military practice, staff rides take participants to the very spot where an event happened to immerse them in the surroundings as well as the facts of the case. Doing so can help others understand the decisions made and the factors, perceived or genuine, that led up to them.
"For the firefighter community, a staff ride is an important process," she said. "It facilitates organizational dialogue, sense-making and helps an organization move forward by revisiting the past."
Dr. Gabor was selected for the government-sponsored staff ride because of a paper she wrote as a graduate student about the investigation report on the fire. In the paper, she noted how the report failed to consider the subjective and inter-subjective experiences of time by the firefighters and only focused on the linear clock time.
The staff ride—comprised of more than 90 forestry officials, members of the firefighting community and academics—was broken down into three phases. During the preliminary phase, participants read up on the facts and history of the fire. For the second phase, the field day, participants met with experts and people directly involved with the blaze. For the final integration phase, the group engaged in a two-hour discussion and sought to make sense of the accident based on the previous days of study.
Dr. Gabor also took part in a small nine-person hike to the fatality site on the mountain. She said the experience gave her a clear understanding of what obstacles and options the rappellers had.
"Being there, experiencing the location and the terrain, I had a very different understanding of the event," she said. "When you look at a poster or an aerial picture, you estimate the distance between two points and think, 'it'll take me just three to four minutes.' But when you're there, you get a totally different sense to scale, time and space."
Dr. Gabor added that she would incorporate the staff ride into her Organizational Communication classes at Bradley by using the experience to show how the perception of time is an important element in how members of an organization form and communicate their expectations. For example, she said, fire investigators may miss important experiences by using only clock time to investigate and report the events.
"Another lesson that I'm bringing to my students is the importance of engaging in empathic dialogue to facilitate organizational sensemaking after a serious accident." she said. "It will be very relevant for the course that I'll teach in the fall on organizational culture."

Lightning Delays Meet by Two Hours
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The name of the game was to qualify as the Bulldogs competed to make it to finals on the first day of the 76th Ivy League Heptagonals Championships. Lightning delays at the Cuyler Athletic Complex and Dwyer Track cost over a two-hour delay, which had athletes warming up multiple times for postponed events. After day one, Princeton was the leader with 68 points.
"We had some good performances, some disappointing ones. We have to make good in what we have for tomorrow and get more competitive," said head coach Marc Davis.
Sophomore Mike Levine put up the first points on the board for the Bulldogs, placing sixth in the hammer throw with a PR of 54.79m and setting No. 11 all-time Yale outdoor. Senior David Smith also threw a season best in the shot put (15.28m). Freshman Dana Lindberg had an impressive day in the long jump, breaking seven meters for the first time in his last attempt to finish in eighth place (7.05m).
The 1,500-meter run trials were interrupted by another delay as lightning was sighted during the first heat. Nevertheless, senior John Van Deventer came back after the delay to win heat three, hanging in the middle of the pack until he passed runners in the last 100 meters on the inside of the track. Deventer's time of 3:49.95 is also the fastest time in the 1,500-meter run going into Sunday's final.
Senior captain Marty Evans qualified in both the 100-meter and 200-meter dashes without a hitch. Evans will enter Sunday with the second-fastest time in the 200-meter dash (21.54) and the sixth-fastest in the 100-meter dash (10.91). Sophomore Matthew Bieszard came close to qualifying in those events, finishing ninth overall in the preliminaries of the 200-meter dash and only one spot away from qualifying (21.93) as well as tenth overall in the 100-meter dash trials and two spots away from qualifying (11.03). Nevertheless, Bieszard will still have the chance to compete tomorrow in the sprint relays, along with Evans.
"I'm excited for tomorrow. It'll be my last time on this track," Evans said. "Tomorrow's show time."
In the 800-meter run trials, freshman James Shirvell ran his best time for outdoor season (1:52.41).
The second day of Heptagonals promises even fiercer competition as athletes who competed on Saturday with the mentality of just qualifying will give their best in finals on Sunday.
"The performances are going to get better, and the kids are going to have to step up a bit," Davis said.
Sunday's competition will start with field events at 11 a.m. and running events at 10:30 a.m. with the awards ceremony at 4:45 p.m. A complete schedule can be found here. More information is available at the meet website at Yalebulldogs.com, as well as additional coverage at Ivyleaguesports.com and Hepstrack.com. Live results will be posted at Lancertiming.com and complete results at Yalebulldogs.com after the meet. Buses will leave to the track and field complex every 15 minutes in front of Payne Whitney Gymnasium.

Menno Simons (14961561) was one of the most famous Anabaptists in the modern Netherlands. His followers became known as Mennonites, and still carry on today. Menno began as a Roman Catholic priest, but came to reject Transubstantiation, infant baptism, and all use of force, spurred on by the murder of his brother Pieter, who was already an Anabaptist.
You can read the full text of Menno's major work, A Foundation and Plain Instruction of the Doctrine of our Lord Jesus Christ, at Google Books.

Here are 20 questions to ask a girl you have just started dating whether to break the ice or get to know her better.
Who are your closest friends?
This is a nice way to begin since it lets your date discuss things in her comfort zone while not getting too personal. Moreover the answer can also tell you a lot about the kind of person she is. For instance if her closest friends are all from high school, it indicates that she values loyalty in relationships and is wary of change.
TIP: Read this book which has 2000 questions you can ask your partner. Know your partner's secret desires and hidden fears with this book!
How many siblings do you have?
This question offers a safe way to know more about her family. If she comes from a supportive family, she will probably tell you a good deal about her parents, siblings and even cousins and grandparents. But if she appears vague and wishes to change the subject, then it would be best not to prod her more since she might have had an unhappy childhood.
What is the best vacation that you took?
People usually love talking about holiday they took in another country or the roaring time they had on the beach over the weekend. Encourage your girlfriend to talk about what she liked most of all on that particular vacation and you might get an insight into her favorite kind of getaway.
What are your favorite colors and why?
Being a fun question, this is bound to leave your date giggling and taking her time over several suitable options. And if color therapists are to be believed, one's favorite colors could also offer clues to the kind of person she is. That is of course, if the colors your date mentions are actually her favorite and she is not carried away by the spirit of the game.
Are you an outdoor/indoor person?
Ask your date if she prefers to spend her spare time pottering in the kitchen or if she can't wait to hit the road to the countryside. In fact an insight into this aspect of your girlfriend could even help you plan future dates like a quiet dinner with romantic music for a homebody or a rock-climbing event for the sporty girl.
What are your ambitions as far as work is concerned?
Even though this may sound too much like being interviewed for a job, it will give your date a chance to talk about her professional ambitions and her aspirations for future.
What about your pet peeves?
You may be surprised at the number of unexpected things that may crop on this one – wet bathroom floors, soggy sandwiches, Lindsay Lohan stories in the media, weekend traffic on the way to her family home, lizards… the list could go on.
What do you like most about living in the present times?
While there are no end to complaints like pollution and rising gas prices, coming up with all that is nice about the present might give her something to think about. And best of all, it could act like a feel-good pill for you both.
Who is your favorite actor/band/celebrity?
This is a common conversation starter on most first dates. But apart from knowing what kind of music and personality your girlfriend identifies with, the answers will give you ample date ideas for the future. For instance, you could earn huge brownie points by surprising her with tickets to a concert playing her favorite band or to a movie which has her favorite actor.
How do you spend your week?
Knowing what someone does during non-working hours would give you an insight into her priorities. For instance your date might put in a 40-hour week at work, but if she still has the time and energy to hit the gym thrice a week, you know that health and fitness score high with her.
That hairstyle/outfit really suits you.
Where did you get it? In all probability, you date knows that you are not terribly interested in where she does her shopping. But just the fact that you noticed something nice about her and asked about it would make her really happy. A lot of girls work really hard on appearances and there is nothing like a sincere compliment to brighten their day. However avoid any comments with sexual overtones or you will come across as a jerk.
If you could play a part in a movie, what would it be?
Her answer might be Audrey Hepburn's role in romantic classic The Roman Holiday or a more spunky character like the eponymous heroine of Erin Brockovich . Whatever it is, the reply would surely allow you a tiny peep into her fantasies.
What is your happiest memory from the past?
Most likely it will be an account of a childhood picnic or an afternoon at the zoo when she was seven. However if she has had an unhappy upbringing, she might talk of the time when her science project was appreciated at school or she bunked class to catch a movie.
What is your favorite food?
This question might get her reminiscing about large hearty family meals or she may rave about the delicate flavors of Japanese cuisine. Either way food makes for a great conversation topic.
When was the last time you planned a surprise party for a parent/friend?
This might make for a hilarious set of memories but don't get unnerved if she mentions that the she last one she did was for her ex.
Tell me about one of your most embarrassing moments.
It could be the time when she got drunk and threw up at a friend's bash or got her ex's mom's birthday wrong.
When upset, what do you usually do to feel better?
This question might be slightly premature on a first date but on your next outing, you could pose the question to get a glimpse of the person within.
What are your life goals?
Again more appropriate when you are getting to know your date better, this one could make you come across as a sensitive man interested in knowing the real person behind appearances.
What was the last book you read or movie you watched?
Follow it up by asking if she liked it and why.
Should we do this some other time?
The answer to this of course will determine whether you get to put any more questions to her in future.
No matter how witty your questions are, it means nothing unless you are actually listening to her answers. Asking questions for the sake of carrying on a conversation or to make yourself appear smart will quickly turn boring. So let the questions be the first step in getting to know her well but also follow it up with a genuine interest in what she has to say.

The drone secrets inside John Brennan
No one knows more about the CIA's drone base in Saudi Arabia than Brennan.
The United States has been operating a secret CIA drone base out of Saudi Arabia for the last two years — a landmark counter-terror operation that several news organizations and lawmakers knew about but didn't acknowledge until today. The catalyst for the story finally breaking is John Brennan's nomination to head the CIA. As the Obama administration's top counterterrorism official, no one knows more about the drone program and the U.S.'s most controversial and clandestine operations than Brennan does. His confirmation hearing on Thursday may be the best — and possibly last — chance for the American public to learn more about our robotic lethal operations abroad.
Now, in a week that has already seen the leak of a "white paper" on the targeted killing of American citizens and the administration's drone program rise from clandestine legalise to coffee-table conversation, many unanswered question still remain: How much else does Brennan know? How much does the Senate? And how much will the Senate Intelligence Committee get Brennan to divulge by week's end?
Senator Ron Wyden is already becoming more explicit by the day, insisting that he will use the hearing as leverage to extract more still-classified information from the White House, saying, "If the Congress doesn't get answers to these questions now, it's going to be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to get them in the future."

*re-cloaks and heads to IS writing and HNA writing together now... boy... I might do some accidental cross-over verse... wait... IS and HNA CROSSVERSE!? nonono... focus on current jobs*
Next post will be my two OCs.
Hint: One's codename is "Alucard"

Ok, time for me to barge in.
Hello everyone... two new OCs have arrived!
Spoiler for OC N.1: The Descendant of a Nosferatu!:
Spoiler for OC N.2: And his dreaded nemesis?! (or not?):
Now, non-OP chars... perfect protagonists... BUT FIRST, I MUST FINISH MY INFINITE STRATOS WORK.
But HNA is still fresh in my mind, I might write some stuff, but IS takes priority over this for now.
Another thing is... Daisuke Ono and who else as VAs? (If I lump Kaname Kuran's or Zero's VA in here... it would be smexy, but over used as well...) And we could maybe have Nana Mizuki grace us with the reverse roll here by playing the one that gets bitten... (Mayaa Sakamoto is another option for sweety girls... plus she has Ciel mode. )
Ah, maybe should I do another one of those char. sheets for sheer convenience levels?
Hmmm... where are the FF plans for using all our OCs and trying to put in a story that happens in the same verse as our dear Aria and Kin-chan?
P.S: Kha, there, two SSR members (they do other the other stuff only as electives) for you... WITH LOVE AND DRAMA!
Double P.S: Anyone who played Diablo II KNOWS Kyousuke's ancestor's alternate depiction.
Triple P.S: Sorry for the e-mail spam @Meister, Saint X, Saintesse and Flamez, forgot to turn off the "send notification" thingie...

The three other members of Preston's circle, including the official leader. I may as well start calling it "Preston's Angels", "Preston's Visual Novel Cast" or something else, also I retconned Kirten and Preston's infos.
This group may need "guests" to make up for the shortcomings, such as the lack of sniper. But the sniper may be covered by someone ported from the fictional modern fantasy world I have been brewing, a Spaniard named Mendoza, because his actual name is well.. Spanish LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG.
Character .3
Spoiler for portrait:
Name: Amelie de Batz-Castelmore d'Artagnan, nicknamed Ami by Sanae.
(theorical) VA: Ami Koshimizu
Nationality: French
Age: 17
Class: 2nd year
Butei Rank: A
Ancestor: Charles de Batz-Castelmore d'Artagnan
Department: Inquesta
Bloodline Ability: None
Weapon: S&W No. 3 Schofield, Garand M1 Rifle.
Friends: Sanae Noriaki, Fiorenza Diotallevi, Preston Lee Whitworth, Kirsten Vikernes.
Character Quotes:
"Oh I know. You are expecting me to whip out a rapier and say 'En Garde'. Too bad you have not read the memo, we are in the 21st century.""
"Swords are so passe. Guns democratized a lot of things about fighting."
"Musketeers were called as such for a reason, and my friend right here IS the reason."
Amelie is a good shot with her Schofield and her Garand. She uses her parkour skills to run around the targets, take them from unexpected places and her training in savate is handy when things gets a little sticky.
Character .4
Spoiler for portrait:
Name: Fiorenza Diotallevi, nicknamed "Fio"
(theorical) VA: Haruka Tomatsu
Nationality: American (of Italian ancestry)
Age: 17
Class: 2nd year
Butei Rank: B (Potentially A but is very unlucky to have Doc as examiner at her every tests).
Ancestor: Nobody of note
Department: Logi
Bloodline Ability: None
Weapon: Heckler & Koch VP70 and FN P90
Friends: Sanae Noriaki, Amelie D'Artagnan, Preston Lee Whitworth, Kirsten Vikernes.
Character Quotes:
"Giiiiirls! Let's! Get! DANGEROUS!"
"Hey guys! Watch me graze all over the traffic!"
"She is sitting on the thin line between crazy, and hot" - Preston
None, unless you count her insolent chance with vehicle accidents.
Fio says she can make any vehicle a weapon and she is a fan of what she calls "Drive-by bullet shower" with her P90, she laments to have to use it instead of a Tommy Gun. Without weapon, Fiorenza is not a pushover, her upbringing have taught her street fighting skills. This means that she will do ANYTHING to win, expect dirt flung into one's eyes, head smacked by a brick, faking a wound, using her "charms" to win someone over only to kick kick the opponent in the crotch, strangling someone with that person's own article of clothing, ANYTHING goes.
Character .5
Spoiler for portrait:
Name: Sanae Noriaki
(theorical) VA: Minori Chihara
Nationality: Japanese (half-breed Chinese)
Age: 15
Class: 2nd year
Butei Rank: A
Ancestor: Nobody of note.
Department: Amdo
Bloodline Ability: None
Weapon: Walter PPK
Friends: Amelie D'Artagnan, Fiorenza Diotallevi, Preston Lee Whitworth, Kirsten Vikernes.
Character Quotes:
"This situation is a little too cliché."
"Jensen Ackles~"
Sanae's engineering skills allowed her to manufacture various gadgets ranging from electronic device jammers to surveillance drones that are no bigger than a kite. She is currently studying the structure of various car models to find which can be modded into her dream monster car.
Sanae prefers to avoid fighting as much as possible. More often than not she relies on gadgets and choose her battlefield she have made sure to stuff with traps before. She have a knack for improvisation and will use improvised weapons when cornered. Her handgun is a very last resort and it's useless to say how she manages with them.

I'm starting to believe that the average OC creator in anycares nought for badass normals, instead preferring to just throw in whatever they like into the mix whether it works or not, with a strong preference towards the supernatural and vampires.
I'll comment in-depth at some other point but I just want to say - really? It wasn't enough to rip off Castlevania and Hellsing, you're going to turn this into goddamned Twilight?
We need to give Monster Hunter International a call.
If I have to use movie terms, Hidan no Aria is Bad Boys meets Hot Fuzz meets harem anime. It is not Bad Boys meets fucking Twilight.
Just because there is a confirmed vampire within the series does not mean the floodgates are open.
Now on to more cheerful things:

New characters!
Name: Karla Bidan
Nationality: German-Korean
Age: 24
Butei Rank: Maintenance Engineer E-2
Ancestor: Gerhard Barkhorn
Department: Logi
Bloodline Ability: Pilot any aircraft or robot by instinct. Horrendous with land vehicles.
Weapon: Baton, HK P2000
Friends: Ayari/Kanari's parents - One of the only few who knew about Ayari/Kanari's true background, Reisen
Background : A former student from the German Butei Academy, she was almost granted a scholarship into the Luftwaffe but it was retracted when she was convicted for dangerous driving during her driving test, running the car through a lamppost and almost severing the car into half. Nonetheless, she was the school's top aircraft pilot and graduated from the academy with honors, therefore the school attached her to the Japanese Butei Academy. The academy was skeptical of her skills, so she was assigned as a second-level engineer.
Initially innocent, she was thrust into the underworld and conspiracies after the Unamichi twins were suddenly deposited on her doorstep with a letter simply bearing the words "Take care of them. Please." in familiar handwriting, and 10 million euros deposited into her bank account. She had been the unofficial guardian of the twins for four years since she arrived in Japan.
Name: Reisen
Nationality: Metropolis
Age: 24
Butei Rank: None
Ancestor: Lim Bo Seng
Department: Ex-Dagula. Now a fugitive.
Bloodline Ability: Analysis and problem-solving
Weapons: STK CPW, Glock 19 (given to Kanari), Fairburn-Sykes knife modified into a wristblade/piton gun (given to Ayari), L96A1 Suppressed /w high-intensity thermoscope, Mateba .44 Unica 6 Autorevolver
Friends: Ayari/Kanari's parents (another who knows the truth), Karla, an unnamed legal counselor for the Yakuza, the Metro ambassador, Kinichi, Jeanne (unexpected friendship)
Background : Missing and wanted for involvement in a bomb attack on the parliament house, he was initially captured but escaped from Whitely detention centre. Dubbed highly dangerous due to his background as a course-planner with the Metro Butei Academy, it is touted as a conspiracy that he is framed, or at least worked undercover with the internal spy agency. As such, he is branded as a "missing fugitive" who "disappeared or died without a trace".
Having contacted Jeanne once on "business" when serving as a information broker on a one-time deal to the EU, the two of them were on edgy terms as Jeanne was unwelcome towards Reisen's mercenary attitude. It is also rumoured that he provided for Kinichi and Patra and helped them to disappear, as well as having a hand in many events funded by groups looking to buy information and certain equipment. His real name is not known, and his official identity, or as he is known in Japan, is simply Reisen - the owner of a Akihabara store selling games and otaku merchandise, which Riko visits on occasions.
After his store is destroyed during a Yakuza war (which he indirectly had a hand in), he is now residing in an offshore yacht docked on Butei high's island, and running his business (both his game store and information brokering) online and on-contact basis. It is not known how he got the permission and rights to do so.

@Yoake: One word. Dracula. He's in the novels from what I've seen. (I have yet to gather info on his allignment and etc... but I'd guess that he's on the antagonists' side)
@WG: In now way is this Twilight. It's not just because there's a relationship between a chick and vampire that it turns into that show. Besides, I've never watched it, and cannot judge anything in it for myself.
There is no Dracula nor Alucard vampires in here (except for the Novel one). My vampire in question is descendant from an alternate vampire line. Dracula has a set of peculiar powers in HNA, I was thinking of explaining his "un-vampiric" abilities as his "evolution". The Bathonet bloodline is still stuck with most basic traits of the generic Vampire.
Besides, my vamp is nothing like Edward Cullen (from what I could understand of his character). Edward, from the looks of it, is calm, silent and not really your society guy.
Kyousuke's calm and gentlemanly, but he also loves socializing and can be eccentric at times when it comes to woman. Also, his vampiric issues are more of a type that is similar to Erika Sendo's in Fortune Arterial (rejects vampirism, conflicted with her own kin)
Note as well that he is far from being an OP char as he is heavily handicapped by his bloodthirst. He hasn't drunk any "good" blood since five years. For now, he's basically a human with some boosted reflexes (sub-par to Kinji's Hysteria Mode, but has the advantage of being on everytime). His full vampiric powers can awaken when he drinks blood from someone, and that, he doesn't want to do it at all. Power Limiter, yes.
Also, concerning badass normals... I appreciate them very much, but I've never been skilled at doing them correctly, so they're not a common production of mine. Perhaps when my imagination and pen skills expand a bit more, will I finally be able to correctly mold a badass normal.
But anyways... the third character of my team's coming in.
Also, I'm going to do some fixing about my agent's division, as well as some history modification so that they're not ALL in SSR... (at least, they might have SSR as a common elective, but their main specialty will be different)

As for making badass normals - how hard can it be? Take a normal person (with normal being relative, admittedly) and put them into this situation. Mike Lowery and Marcus Burnett. Jonas Blaine, Mack Gerhardt, Charles Grey, Bob Brown. Jack O'Neil and SG-1. John Mclane.
Mad Jack Churchill.
Lachiman Gurung.
Bishnu Shresta.
John Basilone.
Mitchell Paige.
Alvin York.
Randy Shugart and Gary Gordon.
SEAL Team Six. Delta Force. MARSOC.
Carlos Hathcock.
Dick Winters.
Ronald Speirs.
Salvatore Giunta.
Those are but a few Badass Normals who actually existed in the real world. It's not too hard to make one, mate.
At all times when creating characters, one must ask one's self, "Does this charecter fit the spirit of the series that I am working on?"
Also, you got nationality wrong. Nationality refers to what nation you belong to, where your origin is. Ethnicity is the racial mix. Thus as an example, Jon Davis is of Malaysian nationality and British-Indian-Chinese ethnicity.

I like her alot.
Every time we start an OC thread in a new series I've always find a girl that I can't get out of my head.
In Nanoha OC there's Maren... Or possibly Keroko, I had a little tsundere thing going for her too...
In Toaru OC there's Sibyl... Nyan might had issued some kind of 'stern warning' against me touching her...
In Aria OC... Could you be the one...?

The Society of Bluffton Artists is preparing designs for an addition to its off-Calhoun Street gallery as the town of Bluffton moves forward with plans to demolish its old teaching space at the former Old Town library to make way for public facilities at DuBois Park.
Plans for an 832-square-foot attachment at the adjacent 8 Church St. lot are moving forward through town commissions, with construction expected to start by the beginning of 2013, said Rob Tedford, architect for the project.
The project will cost about $125,000 and take about six months to complete, he added.
Landlord Kirk Glenn, who's putting up the money for the nonprofit group, said the space will double as a replacement classroom and extra storage area.
"Having more space available to hang art work to keep all of their members interested really bodes well," he said. "This'll be basically an open room with a little storage area and a handicapped bathroom. The rest of it will be wide open."
SOBA has paid $1 a year to rent its current space from the town, which held public meetings in 2009 that led to a decision to make way for a 1.25-acre park on Boundary Street between Lawton and Lawrence streets. Those meetings concluded the old library didn't "fit" with the
district's style and public restrooms were a critical need for the area.
SOBA earns about $600 monthly from a range of classes offered to children and adults, depending on that revenue to cushion the group's finances during slow sales months, said Sandra Wenig, the group's president. She contends the town could've added public bathrooms at the back of her building if it had considered her group's alternative plans.
"We've even given artistic renditions, but they have a plan and they're going to implement it," she said. "They just want to tear it down and build up a new one to conform to their architectural ambitions."
The town included $285,000 in its budget this fiscal year for a bathroom and shelter space where the old library now stands as well as playground additions.
But $195,000 of that money comes from grants that have not received approval, and planning would take several months between notification and construction. Grant denial would force the town to find another funding stream, potentially delaying the project.
The town hasn't set a firm deadline for the move, which actually creates uncertainty from a scheduling standpoint, Wenig said. Classes are scheduled through the end of the calendar year in the current facility.
"It's this black cloud that hangs over us," she said. "How far out do I schedule things?"

Award of $10,000 to a USA or territories nonprofit organization or government agency for an outstanding program that addresses domestic violence in underserved communities. To qualify, the program's main focus must relate to intimate partner violence and the program must have been in operation for at least three years.
The Roth Award has been created specifically for programs that address the needs of underserved populations. These programs provide services to those who are identified as such based on characteristics that include age, race, ethnicity, gender, faith, disabilities, low socio-economic status, non-English speaking, sexual preference, and surprisingly, victims from economically-comfortable suburban areas who traditionally do not know how to avail themselves of services or who are too ashamed to find them. In general, there is a lack of resources for these specific populations, or the individuals have difficulty accessing available resources.
The program should be replicable, or if it is national in scope, the program should have applications for individual communities, regardless of their size or ethnic population.

The design team behind the iconic, award-winning Brompton bicycle has today unveiled the Brompton Oratory Jacket – an innovation in cycling apparel that can be worn throughout the day straight from bike, to boardroom, to bar." Also see a blog from Evans Cycle who attended the event.
Evans Cycle was at the launch event and tried the jacket out. It's made for the commuter with thoughtful features like reflective pockets, pop-up storm collar, adjustable cuffs, and an "action back."

Rob Ford is Toronto's famously anti-bike (anti any transportation method that isn't a car) Mayor who now has the honor of being caricatured by street artist JP.
Painted with ink on paper, and pasted around the city of Toronto, these images depict a cartoon glutinous Rob Ford eating things he would like to remove from the city.
We rode in Toronto last year. It's a bike town that struggles with support for the bike.

You may be surprised by the impressions made on two local residents during their recent journey to Cuba.
What they saw was a country in transition. There were elegant, ornate, restored buildings and well-kept vintage American cars from the 1940s and '50s, when Cuba was a playground for wealthy Americans. But outside of the tourist world in Havana, the nation's capital and largest city, most neighborhoods are shabby and run down.
In Havana there are two worlds, one for the tourists and another for the Cubans. The tourists have their own money system, "cucs." Cubans are forbidden from using this money, as tourists are forbidden from using the Cuban pesos.
This, according to Stelle Sheller and Janet Young, of East Falls and Chestnut Hill, respectively, who traveled to Havana for eight days in mid-October with Global Exchange (GE), an international human rights organization.
"It's a country of contradictions," said Sheller. "You would just have to visit to begin to understand the mixture. You leave with more questions than when you came."
GE offers reality tours designed to connect people to issues, issues to movements and movements to social change. Sheller and Young, who both requested that their ages not be mentioned, went with a group of 13 to observe and learn about the sustainable community efforts of Cuban women.
In addition to their nightly banquet at a hotel or restaurant, mojitos and music, the former schoolteachers in the Philadelphia School District met with women's studies professors from the University of Havana and members of the Federation of Cuban women. They talked about the roles of women in society.
While there were scheduled events and guided tours, the group members also had their opportunity to wander on their own and mix with local residents. "They people were welcoming," said Young. "I didn't hear animosity. The biggest questions was why is there still a U.S. embargo…
"The people were warm, our questions to officials were considered, and we had a good time. Many of our friends said they didn't know Cuba would let us visit. They were often surprised to learn it is the other way around. Our country isn't hot to have us go to Cuba. We also looked at how women, in particular, are coping with shortages in food and money, and yet how much they are participating in government.
"Back in the '60s, my late husband and I participated in the War on Poverty by working in Eastern Kentucky. I was struck by similarity of rhetoric, enthusiasm and problems we saw then and what I experienced in Cuba today. It was a striking resemblance to me and totally unexpected."
The U.S. imposed an economic, commercial and financial embargo on Cuba in October, 1960, after the new Communist government of Cuba nationalized the properties of American citizens and corporations. Between 1953 and 1959 the Cuban Revolution had fought successfully to remove the dictatorship of Fulgenico Batista.
After Fidel Castro gained power, the Cuban Missile Crisis took place in 1962, which ended with the Russians removing their missiles from the Caribbean island nation. Thirty years later, the Cuban Democracy Act codified the embargo into law so long as the Cuban government refused to move toward democratization and greater respect for human rights.
In Cuba, still a Communist state, healthcare, education, employment and food have all been subsidized and provided for by the government. According to Sheller, the money taken in from the lucrative tourism industry, thriving with travelers from around the world, minus America, funds those subsidized efforts. Children are educated straight through the university. The literacy rate is 99.9 percent. The unemployment rate is 3.1 percent.
But wages are low. One of Sheller and Young's guides had left her job as a teacher because she made more money giving tours. Until 2008, when Raul Castro, the brother of Fidel, took over after his brother became incapacitated, Cuba was a state ruled by egalitarian pay. Everyone, from doctors to farmers, made about $20 a month. But transportation costs and cost of living were low.
Since coming into power, Raul Castro has introduced a number of economic reforms. They include the significant expanding of permits for Cubans to open their own businesses and hire workers. Citizens can now buy and purchase cars and homes. Raul Castro appears to be taking steps to increase the opportunity for free enterprise in Cuba.
"What they don't have is the material advantages we have," said Sheller, also a longtime member of the Women's International League for Peace and Justice. "We went to Cuba to see for ourselves what life was like for the average person there, not compared to life in the U.S. but to life in other Caribbean islands or Central American countries. Unfortunately, this type of fact-finding visit is discouraged and impeded by our government. Hundreds of thousands of Europeans, Canadians and Mexicans are able to go there as freely as we go to Cancun. Although we had to go through all sorts of hoops to get there, we would recommend that it was well worth the effort.
"We met with many people, young and old, who both believe in the ideals of the revolution but are dissatisfied with the material deprivation. They blame not only the U.S. blockade but the stubbornness of their government to institute economic policies of private enterprise."
Fifty miles outside of Havana, the women and their group visited Las Tarrazas. Designated a biosphere reserve in 1984 by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), Las Tarrazas is a sustainable village. There, 1,000 trees were planted, and a community for 1,400 was built as well as hotels.
Since the 1960s, the U.S. has restricted travel to Cuba. But in January, the Obama administration announced that airports in eight cities will begin permitting charter flights to the Caribbean nation, including Baltimore, Chicago and Los Angeles. The new rules expanded travel to Cuba for religious, academic, journalistic and cultural reasons. In 2009, the administration also eased restrictions on family reunification travel.
And according to Sheller and Young, Americans would be intrigued by how much emphasis the Cuban government and its people have put on healthcare and education and by the bright colors and mansions of Old Havana and the tropical landscape.
If I may be permitted a bit of editorializing, many questions remain unanswered as to the current quality of life for ordinary people in Cuba. Are there political prisoners? How many? What has become of them? Are people afraid to speak out against the government for fear of losing work, imprisonment or even worse violations of human rights? In a police state in which even the press is controlled by the government, citizens are likely to be guarded when speaking to foreigners, especially about matters that could get them in serious trouble.

Ten pedigree cats have been stolen from the RSPCA's Perth shelter during a brazen break-in overnight.
The cats were in RSPCA's quarantine area, under the animal welfare group's care as part of an investigation.
The cat thieves had cut open the perimeter and internal fences at the Malaga property then cut the chain on the entrance to the quarantine area, forcibly removing the security door.
The deadbolt door into the quarantine area had also been kicked in, the RSPCA said in a statement on Monday.
All of the cages in the quarantine area were opened, allowing cats to escape.
All but 10 of the cats were recovered early on Monday morning.
"This is clearly a deliberate act and police are currently investigating," RSPCA WA chief executive David van Ooran said.
"The RSPCA will look at pressing charges in conjunction with police if the culprits are caught."
Anyone with information is urged to contact the RSPCA on 9209 9300 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

A high dome and an overly conductive floor is like the kiss of death of Neapolitan Pizza. You can't really throw the balance of heat off any more then that, which is why I personally question the fact that they constantly advice people to use medium duty bricks on the forno bravo forum.
According to them, the oven works fine on Friday and Saturday night, whenthey have it up to temperature.
this is a very timely post for me.i am a mobile oven operator and have been struggling with how to make the most acceptable Neapolitan style pizza that i can. i have had complaints about my pizza being soggy, ingredients sliding off, dough under done, and burnt. one event we sold 1800 pies and had 4 complaints, which is not a lot but i worry that others just do not like it and vow not to order it anymore. when i have large events i have to rely on others to help with the make or bake process and if they do not apply toppings and stretch the pizzas properly then the bake will be off. on the baking side if you do not monitor the oven and the overall make up of the pizza you are baking it may not be right. this 45 second bake is great if everything is done right,but if you are off on hydration, toppings, fermentation time you are not going to get a good product. if you try to bake bread in a oven that is to hot it is going to be raw,pizza is no different. when one of my employees take pride in their 37 second pie i bring them down to earth real quick. we are baking a product we are trying to sell and we want happy repeat customers. what i have been doing is keeping my floor under 800 degrees in the 775 range and shooting for a 120 to 130 bake. when the lines form i bring my floor up over 850 and the high cooking volume keeps the bake even. this gives my crust a little more structure and holds toppings better.
I wonder why he didn't go ahead and plate all 3 pizzas, not just the last one, as he took them out of the oven?

Abortions are down some: Still not safe and rare, especially in black neighborhoods
The abortion lobby is scrambling to take credit for a decline in abortions while hiding the truth that abortions are still disproportionately high in black communities. Those who are passionate about saving the lives of the unborn have been working very hard to bring not only a decrease in abortion rates, but also to make abortion itself unthinkable.
Yet we still face the issue of African-American communities being targeted by the abortion lobby while claiming to make abortions "safe, legal, and rare."
For instance, in New York and in some cases nationally, abortions are down due to diligent pro-life strategies such as prayer, legislative awareness, public awareness, pregnancy care centers, abortion healing, African-American and all minority awareness, and aggressive media outreach. Still in New York black abortions remain upside down, 2 abortions to 1 live birth.
Agencies like The Chiaroscuro Foundation, a not-for-profit organization seeking to reduce the number of abortions in New York and provide pregnant women with viable alternatives to abortion, note the decline and are cautiously optimistic. In a recent statement, they report: "New York City's abortion ratio dropped substantially in 2012, according to data released by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene last week. While the City's abortion rate is still nearly twice the national average, the progress is encouraging."
"We have been raising awareness about New York City's high rate of abortion for the past four years, and we are certainly encouraged by the progress made during that time," said Greg Pfundstein, president of the Chiaroscuro Foundation. "We will continue to work with community leaders, churches, and organization who share our concern about this problem and to help women facing unplanned pregnancies find the support they need in their communities."
Pfundstein continued: "The City's claim that increased use of contraception is the cause of the substantial decline is quite perplexing, though. While the CDC through its comprehensive National Survey of Family Growth has found steadily declining rates of teenage sexual activity, they have not found substantial increases in contraceptive use. And the City has been pushing Plan B for several years, which studies show does not decrease the pregnancy rate. If the City has data proving their claim, they should make it available to the public."
"The abortion ratio citywide fell to just over 37 percent in 2012-a record low since 1970 when abortion was legalized in New York. The Bronx continues to lead the city with an abortion ratio of 47 percent. The largest drop in the abortion ratio was in Brooklyn, which saw the ratio drop from 37 percent to 34 percent."
Despite an overall reduction in abortions, some areas-primarily minority or low income neighborhoods-continue to experience a disproportionate number of abortions. "We were pleased with the progress, but we still have a long way to go, especially in meeting the needs of poor and minority women," said Molly O'Connor, communications director of the Chiaroscuro Foundation.
"Of the 197,046 viable pregnancies in New York City in 2012, 73,815 were terminated by abortion. 1,832, or 2.48 percent, of the abortions performed in the City in 2012 were performed at gestational ages of 21 weeks or later.
"It's time we look at the resources we're providing pregnant women in need. Local churches, community organizations, and neighbors are crucial to delivering services and support that empower women to choose alternatives to abortion."

About 800 people turned out at the Zeiterion for the local premiere of "Fairhaven," a film that splashes the town's iconic buildings and landscapes on the big screen as the backdrop to a drama between four old friends.
NEW BEDFORD — They said the scenery was great. The graphic language, sexual content and rampant drug use, not so much.
About 800 people turned out at the Zeiterion Performing Arts Center for the SouthCoast premiere of "Fairhaven," a film by Tom O'Brien that splashes the town's iconic buildings and landscapes on the big screen as the backdrop to an unfolding drama between four old friends.
The movie was shown as part of the Buzzards Bay Film Festival, organized by the Buzzards Bay Coalition to celebrate its 25th anniversary. Although the movie has had limited showings, primarily at film festivals, it will have a limited theater distribution come January, O'Brien said while introducing the film to the audience.
"Beautiful scenery of boats, water, the quaint architecture ..." theater-goer Tracy Tarvers wrote in a note to a reporter after the movie ended. "However ... I would say they said the F-word 55 times ... (there was) a strip club and basically this was a tragic disappointment that the wonderful town of Fairhaven does not deserve."
The grit is just part and parcel of real life, even in Fairhaven, Board of Selectmen Chairman Brian Bowcock said.
"I wasn't offended by anything in the movie," he said, adding that the drug use and foul language showed viewers the "hard life" locals can have, especially around the waterfront.
The movie begins with actor Chris Messina — who has had roles in "Argo" and on the television show "The Newsroom" — playing Dave, who returns to Fairhaven for his father's funeral after spending a number of years in Las Vegas and Arizona. Dave reunites with his old friends Jon (played by O'Brien), Sam and Kate as they catch up on the past and remember how close they once were.
The character-driven movie revolves around the theme of "boomeranging" back to one's hometown.
"I'm from Medford and nobody goes back to Medford, but we found that this boomerang effect happens a lot in seaside towns," said O'Brien, who wrote, directed and starred in the movie.
O'Brien said the Fairhaven landscape inspired him to set the film here after he spent time in town visiting his mother, who owned a house on Homestead Avenue.
The film hits every major Fairhaven landmark from Town Hall to Fort Phoenix and even some SouthCoast ones like Lees Market in Westport. And with character Dave's gritty lifestyle — including drug use — there are plenty of shots of the region's less "historic" locales, such as Temptation Gentlemen's Club on Popes Island.
The edgier side of the film left some viewers upset, others maintaining the film was accurate and a few simply annoyed at how the town was portrayed.
"We have an earthy type of culture out here," Bill Connolly, who played a cook in the film, said when asked if the movie's sharper content accurately depicted Fairhaven.
Connolly's daughter, Margo Connolly — who works for the coalition — said the film was accurate yet stylized. She pointed out that O'Brien's character works on a fishing boat, something that isn't typical of young people in SouthCoast but which offered a glimpse of the waterfront to viewers unfamiliar with the region.
Some content questions aside, viewers unanimously praised the film's cinematography and said they were glad to see places familiar to them in front of a national audience.
"I just love the area," O'Brien said. "I noticed it again today driving into Fall River on I-195. It has a character, like a Bruce Springsteen song should be playing when you drive in."
