Hospitals Didn't Give Rape Victims Emergency Contraception
When a rape victim goes to the hospital for help, it's crucial they receive comprehensive care.
Part of that care includes emergency contraception to prevent pregnancy resulting from the assault.
Over the years, lawmakers across the United States have recognized the urgency of requiring medical facilities to provide emergency contraceptives to victims, with 13 states plus the District of Columbia assuming that responsibility in law.

Training Tips: Barefoot Running - National Geographic
|Ted McDonald trail running in Copper Canyons, Mexico
Photograph by Leslie Gaines
from National Geographic Adventure's Kate Siber
"Barefoot" Ted McDonald played a lively and central role in Christopher McDougall's breakout book, Born to Run, with a simple but revolutionary message: "Some of the best technology you'll ever own when it comes to footwear is the one you've already been given by your ancestors," he says. The barefoot-running guru still runs shoeless, coaches barefoot newbies in Seattle, and owns Luna Sandals, a running sandal company. He has also become a leading spokesman for the wonders of barefoot running, particularly for those with injuries stemming from footwear. But there's also the pure pleasure of running as we were designed. "There's this feeling of lightness and connectedness to our own bodies," says McDonald.

6. Hortatory Exposition Good morning, ladies and gentlemen
Thank you very much for the House of Representatives which had invited me to give the speech concerning about the mystery sinetrons shown in many television presently. My name is Budi Santoso, a lecturer at University of Indonesia majoring in mass communication. Here, I represent the academics point of view about the subject we discuss this morning.
As we know, there are many mystery sinetrons shown on Television stations presently. The sinetrons depict horrible scenes about the spirit world. It is described that spirits often disturb people by frightening them in the darkness, when they walk alone at night or at the cemetery. The spirits are pictured as frightening appearance such as white clothes flying corpse, shattered face copse etc. the show must be abandoned for several reasons.
Firstly, it make a wrong perception of people especially children and women to do activity at nights, for example going to the wells, even cooking at kitchen alone. How do you fell if you always live in anxiety.
Thirdly, such kind of sinetrons waste out time to think unreal phenomena while we are facing many kinds of living problems.
In brief, for the reason, I think television station must stop showing mystery sinetrons. They are bad influences for people, frightening our children and destroying their belief to god.
Thank you very much for your attention.
7. Analytical Exposition SHOULD CHILDREN WEAR HATS AT SCHOOL?
(Statement of position):
I believe that you should always wear a hat at school when you are playing outside , to stop you from getting sunburn.
(Argument 1):
Firstly, if you don't wear a hat, you will get sunburn ant the sunburn is painful.
(Argument 2):
Secondly, sunburn could lead to skin cancer. Sunburn can lead to health problems later in life. Many older people suffer from skin cancer which can kill them.
(Reinforcement of position statement):
In my opinion all school students should wear hats.
8. Spoof One day, two villagers went to Jakarta. They went to the biggest mall and saw shiny silver walls that could open and move apart and back together. They were amazed when an old lady rolled in to the small room and the doors closed. A minute later, the doors opened and a young beautiful lady stepped out. The father said to his son "Go, get your mother now."
The ending of the story is funny because they thought that the doors can change an old lady into a young beautiful lady. Whereas the doors were actually elevator doors.
9. Explanation How to Fly a Hot Air Balloon
A hot air balloon consists of a basket, four big gas tanks, a burner and the balloon or 'envelope'
First, four nylon poles are put into sockets on top of the basket. The burner is then put on top of the poles. Next, the cables are connected to the burner frame. The cables also go under the basket in order to hold everything together.
After this, the hoses from the full gas tanks must be connected to the burner so that pilot can test it.
Next, the mouth of the balloon is held open by two people while it is filled with cold air from the fan until it is quite fat and tight.
Now for the difficult bit. The pilot lies on the ground, half in the basket, turns on the gas burner, and points the flame into the 'mouth' of the balloon. This is so that the balloon slowly stands up.
When the it is ready to go, a bit more air is heated up the in the balloon. This results in the air in the balloon to be hot enough to get the balloon to rise off the ground
10. Discussion Euthanasia
Euthanasia is the act of intentionally causing the painless death of a sick person. In terms of a physician's actions, it can be passive in that a physician plays no direct role in the death of the person or it can be active in that the physician does something directly to cause the death. Now the question: Do you think it is right for a physician to refuse to participate in active euthanasia?
It is NEVER right for a physician or any one else to deliberately hasten a person's death. This includes all forms of euthanasia-active and passive. To deliberately withhold food/fluids is to subject the person to a painful death-it is NOT a humane death. We are not in a position to determine the worth of a life. Every person has a soul-it is up to God to determine when he will take that soul from the shell that is the human body. We all have a duty to support life with ordinary means-food/fluids but we are not required to use extrordinary means-aggressive life support,dialysis,etc indefinitely.
O.K. now, euthanasia (I think) is a type of suicide, whether or not you are sick. Physicians absolutley have the choice of NOT participating, in fact it should not be legal!!! Now if you put someone to death who was sick, or heck they dont even have to be sick, but you would look at your self everyday and be reminded of it. i bet you would feel like a murderer. If people want to die they can commit suicide in their own homes, makin someone else do it is not going to make it any better morally. Euthanasia is a sad, sad deal, please try to stop it.
I believe if the person wants to die to end their life they should have the right to choose.I do not believe that the person should beable to have themselves killed if they're not really suffering. Yes the person does have the right to kill him or herself. BUt the authourity stands in the way of that. If this is such a free country why can't anyone participate in EUTHANASIA?
If we have the right (at least in the U.S) to do whatever we want to with our lives, whether it be rich and famous or an alcoholic crack head, why is it that we can not decide when our life should end? It is ours, if we can kill the life that grows inside us, we should be allowed to also destroy the life that harbors others. Especially if that person is in pain and requests that some end their suffering. I don't think you can allow one law with out the either. A life is a life, right?
11. Review Get Married
Illustrating the current situation happening in Indonesia, Get Married presents the figures of unemployment. A few big-name celebrities show up in cameo roles. The movie tells about a true friendship of four youngsters Mae (Nirina Zubir), Guntoro (Desta 'Club Eighties'), Eman (Aming), dan Beni (Ringgo Agus Rahman) who judge themselves as the most frustrated people in Indonesia. Soon, they turn out to be street kids and spend most of their times at street, bullying people who pass by.
Suddenly, it comes to a moment when Mae is persuaded to grant her parents' wish to have a grandchild. Mae's parents, (Meriam Bellina dan Jaja Mihardja) firmly state that Mae must get married in a little while. Soon, they are busy finding candidates who would marry their only daughter. However, along the process of finding the right one for Mae, the three male friends of Mae turn out to be brutal evaluators for the candidates. In the mean time, Mae falls badly in love with Rendy (Richard Kevin), a rich, handsome and kind-hearted man. Unfortunately Rendy, Mae, Guntoro, Eman, Beni are brought into a misunderstanding, and soon fights break out between the two groups of Mae and Rendy.
Written based on some of youngsters' real-life brotherhood experiences—this story will stir you to your emotional core while bringing out your sense of brotherhood. There are a lot of little things and big things that make this movie worth watching. The story is good, the banter is great, the relationships between the characters are great, and it's a fun time at the movies. While some of the jokes are amusing, some of the fights go on a few bit too long.

12. Narratives Snow Maiden
Once upon a time there lived a couple in a village. They had got married for a long time, but so far they did not have a baby yet. Every single minute they prayed to God, begged for a baby, but it never came true.
One day, they went to snow mountain. They made a girl from snow and they dressed her beautifully. When it got dark, they decided to go home and left the snow girl alone. The following morning, someone knocked the door. \"Any body home?\", she said. The old woman inside opened the door and asked, \"Who are you?\" The girl said \"I\'m Snow Maiden, your daughter\". The old woman was surprised and happy. \"Oh really? Thanks God! Come in, please!\"
Since that meeting, they lived happily. Snow Maiden was beautiful, kind, diligent and helpful. Her parents and all of her friends loved her very much One day, Snow Maiden played with her friends. They played fire. At first, Snow Maiden just looked at their play. Suddenly, her friends asked her to jump on the fire. Of course she refused it because one thing that made her afraid was the fire. It\'s because Snow Maiden was made of snow, so she should avoid the fire. But her friends kept on forcing her to jump on. Finally, she could not do anything then she did it. She jumped on the fire and she melted. Her friends was so sorry about this, they cried and cried hoping Snow Maiden could live again, but it was useless. Snow Maiden would not be back anymore.
Her mother tried to entertain Snow Maiden\'s friends and asked them to make a new Snow Maiden. They went to a snow mountain and started making it. They expected to have the new Snow Maiden. Days passed but their dreams never came true.
Malin Kundang
Once upon time, there was a boy named Malin Kundang. He lived with his mother in a very poor condition. They looked fire wood in the forest nearly to make a living. Malin Kundang was so unsatisfied with their bad luck. That's why he decided to go to another city to look for a better life.
Not long afterwards, Malin asked his mother's permission to go to a big city. He promised to come back soon with much money. His mother permitted him and always prayed for him. In his journey, Malin Kundang joined a merchant in a big ship.
Actually, Malin was a diligent boy. He worked hard to get much money and everything changed. He became a rich merchant. His business partner asked him to marry his daughter. Malin agreed. Then Malin and his business partner's daughter got married. They had honeymoon and traveled all over the world.
Many years later, Malin's ship anchored in his village. Many villagers welcome his arrival and admired his glorious ship. Furthermore, they wanted to see his success. Malin's mother heard that her son had come back. She was very glad and eager to see him. With a happy smile in her lips, she went to the seashore to meet her son. Do you know what happened when she met Malin? He pretended that he didn't know her. Of course she was very very sad and disappointed.
In her desperation she cried to God to punish Malin. She cursed Malin Kundang and his ship to be a stone. Since then, people can see the big stone in the beach.

climbing to new heights of trust and friendship
The seventh grade class of Davis Waldorf School braved the elements in our ropes course field trip with Challenge Sonoma near Napa Valley, CA. Our leaders took us on a two-day adventure of progressively challenging events. Tethered safely to a belayer on the ground, the students scaled coastal redwoods, traversed across cables spanning at 60 feet above ground, zip-lined down through the trees, and clambered up a vertical "playpen" of ropes and ladders.
The physical aspect of the events supported the building of social and spiritual capacities. Not only did the students challenge their physical abilities of agility, flexibility, strength, and coordination, but they also discovered personal inner strength, and interpersonal cooperation, encouragement, and trust.
It was on the second day, as we stood on fallen conifer branches and mud, with our harnesses tightly fastened, and helmets providing no comfort against the rain, and staring up at 200 foot tall redwoods with metal handholds stapled to their trunks, that I experienced the quiet fire that resided in the hearts of my students: we were on a mission to conquer our own personal fears and reservations, and meet our own personal goals. And the only way we would succeed in this mission was to support each other, to trust our leaders, and ultimately, to trust our own selves.

"Once stocks rebuild, prices could be even lower in subsequent years," FAPRI reports. FAPRI uses acreage, yield and production estimates from USDA's August Crop Production report and macroeconomic assumptions from ICH Global Insight. FAPRI forecasts soybean prices to average $11.33 per bushel for this year's crop, with further declines possible in 2014. For all crops, prices will be sensitive to changing production estimates, the economists say. Wheat prices are expected to decline from $7.11 per bushel this crop year to $5.90 in the 2014/15 marketing year and then increase gradually to $6.28 by 2018. FAPRI looks for lower prices to result in fewer corn acres in 2014, with this year being the peak for the entire period. By 2018, corn acreage will be 4 million less than this year, 93.1 million, according to the report. Corn yields are anticipated to increase from 154.4 bu. per acre to 171.6 bu. per acre between now and 2018. A more modest increase in soybean yields are expected, shifting from 42.6 bu. per acre to 46 bu. per acre. The area devoted to soybeans, wheat, cotton and rice may increase slightly, while the area planted to 13 major crops is projected to decline by about 1%. The forecast calls for ethanol production to increase in 2014, although the size of the increase will be sensitive to Environmental Protection Agency's decision about how to implement the renewable fuel standard. Lower feed prices will reduce livestock and poultry production expenses, resulting in greater profitability and setting the stage for increases in meat production. However, in the case of the cattle sector, reduced livestock herds mean beef production will reach a low in 2014, FAPRI says. The institute sees growth in both the U.S. and global economies. U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) is forecast to increase from 1.6% in 2013 to 2.7% next year, and 3.5% in 2015 before moderating somewhat, to a range between 2.7% and 3.1% in subsequent years. World GDP is forecast to increase from 2.4% this year to 3.4% in 2014 and then be 4% in 2015 and 2016. After that, it's expected to decline slightly to 3.8% by 2018. China's GDP growth is expected to be 7.5% this year, rising to a peak of 8.2% by 2015, before gradually declining to 7.1% by 2018. FAPRI expects interest rates to increase during much of the forecast period, with the 3.3% prime rate forecast for 2013/14 increasing just slightly to 3.4% in 2015, but steadily rising to 7% by 2018.

mathacke needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 113 designs submitted by 51 freelance designers.
Buzz kill
We need a new logo for our cell phone accessory called the Buzz kill. The Buzz kill is used to stop your cell phone from interfering with speakers so that your nearby speakers don't emit that awful dit, dit, di-dit, dit, di-dit, dit di-dit static sound every time your phone connects to the cell tower. The Buzz kill is a small pad you place your cell phone on to cancel out the feedback that causes the annoying noise from speakers (stereo speakers, desk speakers, clock radio speakers, etc).
Our target audience is people who use blackberrys or iphones, so consider maybe 25 – 45 yr old professionals. This is a wide group but often includes office workers, business men and women, travelers, etc.
We are looking for a logo related to how our product works with cell phones to make sure the speakers around them don't emit feedback. Our cell phone accessory is called the Buzz kill, and the logo should be the word: Buzz kill. We would prefer to deemphasize the word kill and focus on the buzz part. We want a nice and unique topography. You can capitalize the first letter or not - you can make it one word or two. The buzz in the name refers to the annoying sound (the buzzing static) and the kill obviously speaks to us eliminating the noise.
We like the logo for Snuggie and the logo for Oxi Clean but don't let that limit your creativity.
Related Keywords: noise, static, speakers, cell phone, buzzing.

The top two contenders in the L.A. mayor's race remain in close fundraising contention as they enter the final 5 1/2 weeks before the primary, but two outside groups also posted significant sums, demonstrating their potential to upend the race.
City Controller Wendy Greuel edged Councilman Eric Garcetti by collecting $130,644 to his $84,188 during the fundraising period from Jan. 1 to 19. But Garcetti, who served as council president between 2006 and 2012, holds a considerable lead over Greuel in cash on hand, with $3.55 million to Greuel's $2.94 million.
The new filings show that Greuel reported about $101,000 in unpaid bills to Garcetti's $45,000. A key portion of Greuel's spending over the past month was on slate mailings to registered voters with a high propensity to cast ballots -- just as vote-by-mail balloting is set to begin early next month. She also paid a significant amount to the Washington, D.C.-based polling firm Lake Research Partners.
Councilwoman Jan Perry, who represents downtown and South Los Angeles, collected about $16,000 during the first 19 days of this year. With city matching funds, she has raised more than $2 million and reported $1.2 million in cash on hand at the end of the filing period.

SWAT Team Raids Home To Recover Student Loan [Updated: Or Not]
from the pay-up dept
Why is a SWAT team involved in a student loan recovery effort?
It appears that the Department of Education was seeking the woman to get the loan repaid, and somewhere along the way someone (who?!?) thought that this required a SWAT team to break down the door of this guy's house at 6am in the morning, drag him into his yard, then shove him and his three kids into a police car for a few hours while they searched his house.
I tend to find claims that we're in "a police state" a bit overwrought and excessive, but when you hear stories like this, it really makes you wonder.

Post subject: 3 Mos. - 15 Pounds - Giving Up the Goods
After three months of No-S I have to admit how devastated I was when starting out. I wasn't going to fool myself into thinking that this wouldn't be giving up a lot of food. My lifelong habit of overeating for various reasons such as not wasting food, having to try everything, being nice to others by finishing my plate, or simply indulging in sweets was finally catching up to me judging by the size of my clothes. This wasn't going to a simple habit, but a serious life change.
When I decided to quit smoking it was the same way. The thought of giving up cigarettes was impossible. Smoking cigarettes was a fun, social, enjoyable way to pass the time, relieve a little anxiety, or to keep the hands active. Whatever the reasons were I was giving up a huge part of my life by minimizing a dependency on external comforts.
I relied on this forum for a lot for strategy. I took baby steps and continued Vanilla No-S. The three plate premise was so simple and easy to do. Removing the snacks and sweets eventually curbed the hunger cravings so I could enjoy my three meals. Before I knew it I lost over 15 pounds. On top of it all I started No-S into an extended backpacking trip around the world! Imagine landing in Turkey or France and having to stick to this plan. Every few days we were in a new country with a million excuses to try more than enough food. It was like a No-S hell!
But, I persisted. If I wanted to try all the street foods of Malaysia I stopped at a few stalls and made it my lunch. It was a "snack" lunch. Whatever I could do in sticking to the three plates a day I did and was rewarded in greater anticipation, especially for those S days when I could take on some sweets. I didn't know where I would be in the world but sweets are sweets, and just because I was in Germany didn't mean I had to try a German sweet to live to tell the story. If my stay in Germany fell on the N-Day streak than I wasn't going to make excuses. This thought process was a huge milestone and highly unusual for my past behavior.
My overeating had been duping me my whole life and now I am going on without, along with those pesky cigarettes, excessive consumerism, excessive work, and any other unhealthy habits I may have formed. These are HUGE problems for our society and I find it strange taking them on, striking a balance, and not succumbing to them. "Cigarette?", "Piece of pie?", "Facebook? "Work Late?", "Drink?". Are these not the fabric of our entertain-me-right-this-second generation?
I used to silently laugh inside at a friend who would never accept a drink. "Who doesn't have an occasional drink?" I thought to myself. Well now here I am, that person, appreciating every opportunity to enjoy something to eat or drink, not wanting to kick one back just because. Maybe I'm not feeling a hundred empty calories on a beer for the sake of it… maybe I have something more enjoyable in mind.
Thank you No-S for helping me appreciate that.
PS - Another thing that helped No-S stick for me so far is that I realized up front it took 30 years of overeating to be where I'm at today so I would never expect to lose it all in 4 weeks or even 3 months for that matter. It's not that No-S is slow, it just takes so long for my body to shed all those years of bad habits.
I set my target goal for a year and hope that maybe in 6 or 9 months I will be pleasantly surprised! It really put things in perspective and smacked the "lose weight quick" mentality I was used to. Had I set the goal too short I would have failed already and given up by now.
Same for weighing myself, once every week or two is enough, not much can happen in a day.

I just found this impressive testimonial. No S while traveling - that really means No Excuses. I'm glad you stuck it out and I am curious where you're at now.. Not much hope of you responding here jarls, after more than 4 years. But hey, you never now!
Expectation exists when there is fear.

Remembered for honor and integrity
James Joseph Homm, age 78, of Osage Beach, Missouri, departed this life on Friday, August 2, 2013 at his home in Osage Beach, Missouri.
"Papa Joe" was born April 4, 1935 in St. Louis, Missouri, the Son of Joseph and Marie Homm.
Joseph moved with his Father to Romania until the age of 18. He worked many jobs including helping his Father on his vineyard. Learning many new languages and cultures, Joe moved back to St. Louis in the summer of 1953. It was there he worked for International Shoe and as a Sheet Welder. It was also there he met the Love of his life Annelie Ehling.
Joseph was united in marriage on November 14, 1959 in Lake Ozark, Missouri, to Annelie at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church. Together they shared 54 years together before his death.
"Papa Joe" and Annelie both worked at "Jo Jo's Sweet Shop" later renamed "Jo Jo's" before purchasing the business from the family in 1962. Joseph and Annelie owned and operated Restaurants in Osage Beach over a span of 51 years, which included "Jo Jo's", "The Eldorado Motor Lodge and Restaurant", "Papa Joes @ Grand Glaize Shopping Center", "Papa Joes @ The Rafters", "Papa Joes Oak Tree Inn" and "City Grill and the Blue Room". He was a devout Catholic attending Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church at a near flawless attendance record. He was a member of the Linn Creek/Osage Beach Lions Club for many years donating his time cooking in the kitchen for guests and members. He was also a member of the Deutsche Maennerchor of St. Louis as well as a "Regular" at many of the Deutsch Dances in and around the St. Louis area. Papa Joe and Annelie also hosted many "Octoberfests" at their restaurants and at the Lions Club celebrating their European heritage.
"Papa Joe" was a Man of honor, integrity, class, heart, and had work ethic skills second to none. He loved his family and friends very much as it showed every time you spent any time with him. He loved singing and dancing with wife Annelie, his family and many of his life long friends. He loved socializing with all of his customers and often told many of his charming stories. He left an ever lasting impression on everyone that he has ever called friend. It was an honor and privilege to know him and to Love him. We all will forever miss the Man they call "Papa Joe".
Joseph is survived by his loving wife Annelie; his children JoAnna and husband Gordy Glen, of Osage Beach; Kenneth, of Osage Beach; Marianne, of Osage Beach; Dana and husband Andy Kuntz, of Springfield, MO.; and Joseph Jr. and Stepheny Pasewark of Osage Beach.
Joseph is also survived by Grand Children; Kristen, Daniel, Leigha, Colyer, Tatum, Toni, Christian and Rykin, and Great Grandchildren Kelian and Isaiah.
Papa Joe would also want to include his wonderful extended family and his many wonderful friends.
Joseph was preceded in death by his parents Joseph and Marie, and his second child Daniel, "Danny Boy".
Visitation will be Monday, August 5, 2013, from 5:00-7:00 p.m. at Hedges-Scott Funeral Home in Osage Beach, Missouri.
Funeral Mass will be Tuesday, August 6, at 11:00 a.m. at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church, Lake Ozark, Missouri.
Interment will be in Lake Memorial Gardens Cemetery, Osage Beach, Missouri.
Memorials are suggested to American Heart Association or the Alzheimer's Association.
Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family at www.hedgesscottfuneralhomes.com
Arrangements have been placed under the care of Hedges-Scott Funeral Home, Osage Beach, Missouri.

Cell Phone Kill Switches Are A Slippery Slope For Abusive Governments
from the you're-not-helping dept
Law enforcement has complained that none of these efforts have done much to stop cell theft and resale, in large part because phones stolen here are simply taken overseas and used there. This in turn prompted a push for new "kill switch" legislation in both New York and most recently San Francisco, in addition to a new bill proposed by Senator Amy Klobuchar we discussed last month. While perhaps well-intentioned, all of the bills have one thing in common: they forget that if you can kill your phone remotely, so then can governments, hackers, and anybody else.
Those concerns are part of the reason cell carriers oppose kill switch legislation (again, that and they profit off of re-activations and new plans), and the worries shouldn't be taken lightly. There's a long, long list of examples where remote or artificial termination technology (Monsanto's wonderful scientific advancements are the first to come to mind) isn't a particularly great idea. Information Week tries to hash through some of these to illustrate the dangers of the concept and its contribution to a broader surveillance state, where the control over your personal devices could become an illusion and institutionalized control becomes a threat:
"Mandatory phone kill switches will hasten the arrival of the Surveillance of Everything, an unavoidable consequence of the so-called Internet of Things. Using technology to extend the reach of property rights make as much sense for other objects as it does for phones. But in so doing, individual property rights mingle with social mores and government prerogatives. Nothing is truly yours on someone else's network....Consider a recent Google patent application, "System and Method for Controlling Mobile Device Operation," which describes research to help in "correcting occasional human error," such as when phones have not been silenced in a movie theater.Granted governments could still shut down the BART network on protesters (one of the first examples the author gives) or kill Internet access in Egypt without necessarily needing a kill switch. A gifted hacker might also be able to remotely brick your current phone. But why would you want to make it any easier? There's countless other ways to combat cell phone theft that doesn't involve making an entire industry considerably less secure.
The thing about kill switches is that they're a manifestation of digital rights management. In the hands of individuals, perhaps they're a good idea. But they won't remain in the hands of individuals. They will be used by companies, organizations, and governments, too. And even when people believe they have control of their kill switches, authorities and hackers can be expected to prove otherwise."

Day's Best: Disney takes idea to trademark "Dia de los Muertos" six feet under
This idea was dead on arrival.
Walt Disney Co. had filed 10 applications earlier this month with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for "Dia de los Muertos," an untitled film about the Mexican holiday, which translates in English as "Day of the Dead." The applications covered toys, cereals and jewelry.
The holiday, with roots in both Christian and Aztec traditions, honors departed relatives and is widely celebrated in Mexico and the United States.

Say what you will about, "Redline," Daniel Sadek's vehicle for his vehicles and for his former fiancee, Nadia Bjorlin, but it sure created a helluva market for carbon fiber replacement parts. Notwithstanding the Ferrari Enzo ended by actor Eddir Griffin, two of Sadek's Porsche Carrera GTs were damaged during filming, one irreparably and one that's been beaten like a Swingline. The latter GT recently hit the eBay block. The reserve is unknown, but $100,000 won't cut it. According to the seller, the car runs fine, but needs the following: Front bumper cover, left front brake rotor, left front wheel, front and rear under trays, LR axle and a few miscellaneous gewgaws. That at $5,000 per gew, and $2500 per gaw. [Thanks to Dave for the tip.]

It isn't really a matter of being "slapstick" or not. Hell, Masato and Kengo combined with Rin and all is still slapstick, but it didn't particularly make the discipline commitee acting against them (with few exceptions such like Masato and Riki entering in the girls' dormitory).
The problem was however stated (not exactly shown that well) by several characters, be it the commitee or other characters like Masato: whether or not Haruka's pranks aren't that of a major problem that lead to lasting consequences, she is a recidivist in her practices, and even defy those who are supposed to do their job, albeit overzealously.
Picture it yourself: I can't see anyone letting slide someone's prank when it is repeated countlessly even after several punishments and lecture (I'm not talking about the extent of Haruka's pranks per se, but rather how often she is bringing troubles for no real reason).
Kiljoy or not, there are rules to be respected to a certain extent, and whereas not every students can pretend to be completely white in that regard in a general sense (be it seriously or in a laid back anime sense), it is natural to have a "bias" when it is just repeated.
In a purely comedy show, you have such antics as the norm and a commitee like that are also played for giggles as either the straight man or the antagonist. But in LB case, it isn't a purely driven comedy show, so you have a sense of balance in term of mood and events.
Heck, Masato who is often the receiving end of many characters' "physical abuse" just can't stand Haruka's nagging approaches, despite Rin dealt much more pain to him than Haruka.
Simply speaking, expecting Haruka's actions as normal and "okay" because it is played for comedy doesn't really work as LB isn't something akin to any pure slapstick show.
It is also why her reputation is known as troublemaker and it isn't only the discipline commitee, but also other characters (even nameless ones, but that wasn't shown in the anime). In fact, most characters often jump on the gun when some troubles arise, thinking it is Haruka's doing (except when it goes serious, such as the vending machine incident, which was motivated by the commitee bias).
Note that I do not state that Kanata's behaviour is level headed by any means, but the commitee decisions and stance are rather "normal" given the circumstances. Harsh with mean remarks due to bias? Sure. But irrelevant/unfounded? No.
Regarding what she says to the LB, bear in mind that her comments are done due to specific circumstances.
-The first time was a warning due to furniture damage, which is considered as vandalism. No matter how funny it was, you can't discard that the LB were careless about it.
-The second time was Riki and Masato in the girls' dormitory. Of course, you can say that Masato and Riki didn't have any ill intention, but at the same time, they could simply ask girls to help Kud by the entrance.
-Kanata's remarks regarding the LB are hardass sure, but are based on their antics: surely battles on school grounds, even for the kicks aren't really what you would expect and it is well known as a good number of students watch the battles and even assist to the weapon selections. As such you can't expect a discipline commitee to let slide a bunch of kids putting a show like that.
Also, she took action against the girls in episode 15 only when it really went out of hand with their ruckus, to which could have been done much earlier.
Also note that due to the rules, Kanata could also jump on them for the cafeteria incident, especially there was no way for her to not know the LB took action for that, yet she let it slide.
So really, circumstances regarding her approach to the LB isn't exactly that affected by Haruka's presence.

I know she is just doing her job but she should separate her personal bias from her work. I have to agree that Kanata did not spread those posters. I am guessing it's the disciplinary committee.

Yeah, I doubt Kanata spread them as well, but she's also the only one who's shown to be mean enough to do something like that.
The only other really "mean" girl we've seen is Sasami... and she's not on the same level as Kanata was this episode, and she's more concerned with her rivalry with Rin anyway. Haruka probably doesn't even register as a blip on her radar. So we'll probably get introduced to some new minor character in the next episode or two, kinda like Midori.

I don't get a "sense of balance" in term of moods and events in LB.
LB may not be a purely comedy-driven show, but it is primarily comedic, imo. I mean, we're now 16 episodes into LB (that's a good, long stretch and plenty of time for an anime show to develop an identity for itself), and I'd say that a solid majority of those episodes would fit more neatly into "comedy" than "drama". The only ones that struck me as more dramatic than comedic are the ones focusing heavily on one specific girl as we delve into the latter portions of her route. So, out of 16 episodes, I'd say 10 to 12 have been primarily comedic, and only 4 to 6 have been primarily dramatic.
Honestly, Kanata and her committee have come across to me as being played for giggles as both straight man and antagonist. In fact, that's precisely how they came off to me just one episode ago in Episode 15!
It's hard to take their concerns seriously when they're usually played this way, imo. And it's harder still when they choose to be downright abusive about it.
I get what your saying overall, but if the anime intended for us to see moral ambiguity in the Haruka/Kanata feud, with both sides being equally at fault and equally flawed, then this anime as failed considerably on that mark, imo. It's made Haruka's mischief-making seem like small potatoes compared to Kanata's strict legalism that alternates between being hilariously over-the-top (last episode) and disturbingly over-the-top (this episode).

Yea you're right Zan.
But I can't blame Haruka since, well, she has a hard past as you see in the scene with the men yelling...
And speaking of which, why were those all men? I was under the impression that they were mostly women. Women are usually the ones who do that.

To be fair, I think Kanata is still capable of being a nice person and a likeable character. In fact, it's very simple for her to become that. She just needs to get over her insanely over-the-top hatred of her sister. I get the impression that once she gets pass that, Kanata will be fine.

Oh yea, the house is full of men, two men for every woman, LOL. forgot about that
Or maybe they only do that for the heir?
Anyway, it just seems weird to me because women are more often the ones behind psychological domestic abuse towards children. When abusive men are angry at a daughter, they usually just let mom handle it because they think they "can't handle women" and their traditional role of being hands-off in parenting in general. Also men aren't known to gang up to pick on someone unless it's physical. Females are much better known for ganging up to mentally break people.
I just hope it's not yet another example of "Look, only men can hurt children and women are always nice and pure!" like I've seen in a lot of anime. -_-;

^Can't fully agree, men love to talk just as much as females and bad wording is a normal thing for them too.
They might use violence more but mental abuse is something they do just as much. Spreading rumors is common between them as well. Actually I met few cases where guys love to spread rumors and bad mouth even more than females 0_o
So yeh, that's just a stereotype.

Went ahead and replied in the game reader thread instead, as it isn't convenient to go on here.
That being said, my perspective for the "balance" was indeed based on the VN, but more importantly, due to the same time frame that the anime has depicted (as Riki's comments and narration do explore his own exhaustion regarding Haruka's antics, way before shit hit the fan).

Observations from the 3rd Preseason Game
Tony Romo looked very good again. One extremely poor deep ball, but everything else was very good. He looked better in the second preseason game but he was missing Roy Williams and Sam Hurd this game. I love that he is keeping two hands on the ball when he scrambles. Hopefully that will cut down on his fumbles this year.
The defense is still a work in progress. The pass coverage was a little soft for my taste but overall they did a solid job. Anthony Spencer is looking better each week. Mike Jenkins and Orlando Scandrick both deserve to start, but I think Jenkins will end up winning.
Special teams play was much better this week. A couple of stupid penalties kept it from being a great performance, but it was still much, much better. Kick and punt coverage was excellent and Terence Newman ripped of a big punt return. Kick returns were not overly impressive.
Kevin Ogletree got to run with the first team and he took advantage of the opportunity. He made a couple of nice plays and you could see that Romo trusted him to be in the right place. He was getting open against man coverage which is more than you can say for some of the guys in front of him on the depth chart. Stanback better hope they keep six receivers or he'll be cut in the near future.
I'm liking Keith Brooking more each week. He has a much better feel for getting to the passer than Zach Thomas did last year. It looks like opposing quarterbacks are going to have to get rid of the ball quickly against the Cowboys due to the pass rush.
The running game looked much better. Marion Barber turned back into the Marion "the Barbarian" this week. I haven't seen him running over defenders since his toe injury last year. He was finally back to bulling over defenders. Felix Jones nearly broke a 94 yard touchdown. The offensive line did a good job opening up holes for both backs.
Miles Austin finally got it going. He was starting so I figured he would finally get a few receptions. It is about time he got involved in the offense.
My favorite moment was when Wade Phillips laid into Courtney Brown after his pass interference penalty. I have never seen such emotion out of Wade. I hope it continues during the regular season.
The injuries started to mount in the second half. It looks like Michael Hamlin will miss 6 weeks with a broken wrist. I was worried when Jason Williams went out with an ankle injury but x-rays were negative and they are saying he might be back for the opener. He is starting to look like a guy who will be on the field this season. Alan Ball was down for a long time with a neck stinger but he appears to be ok. No one was lost for the season so that is a bonus. I wish there were no more preseason games because I hate injuries in games that don't count.
2 comments:
I agree on Romo. Wish he would've just taken the sack though instead of the interception. The important thing is that the defense held up and didn't let them score after that long interception return.ReplyDelete
Overall the defense looked a little lazy. Our corners were really soft and the blitz is still a huge problem. You can't send 6 or 7 people and not get close to the qb. That being said, they didn't give up alot of points. Hopefully they will get in stride in a few weeks.
Is it just me or does Romo have a chemistry with Ogletree? It's a little weird that a rookie can come in and be a favorite target behind Witten. I think we'll be able to see how much potential Ogletree has this season.
Special teams coverage was better, but still missed some tackles and had stupid penalties as you mentioned.
One thing on Wade...why did he punt on fourth down? Even he said that they didn't have enough people to play their passing defense because of injuries, so why not just go for it? He should've been screaming at himself because the team should've never been in that position.
- AnonymousAugust 31, 2009 at 12:36 AM
I personally think Romo made an okay decision on that interception, he just underthrew it. Thats going to happen when you have a defender jumping in front of you. He puts that ball another 8 yards out, Ogletree catches it, and we are praising his scrambling ability. In my opinion from the angle NFL Network showed, it was a good read, just underthrown.ReplyDelete
I am really upset with NFL Network. Because I am in AZ, I had to record it from there, and they cut out the run where Felix almost busts out the long TD. I love Felix man, he is going to really put is over the top.

Publisher's Description▼▲
Author Bio▼▲
"Dumbrell is a well-trained and highly seasoned scholar whose historical, exegetical, and theological skills are evident throughout this erudite volume. Every page has clear, careful explanations for those looking at the issues for the first time as well as cogent, well-documented arguments useful to the professional scholar. Dumbrell packs an enormous amount of theological acumen into the survey, paying constant attention to the great overall theological themes of Scripture, the individual theological details that give each passage and book their special value, and the historical-literary data. This is the very best sort of Old Testament survey--one that not only teaches facts about the Bible but also shows the purpose and meaning of what you are reading." -Douglas Stuart, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
"There is no shortage of good books that provide an introduction to the historical story of Israel in the Hebrew Bible. Creative treatments of the theology of that canon, however, are in shorter supply. Dumbrell's volume helps to address that need. Students are well advised to consult this text, and to read it carefully with an open Bible at hand." -Victor P. Hamilton, Asbury College
"A solid book by a seasoned author for those who are in danger of missing the forest for the trees. Dumbrell marches through each Old Testament book with phrases such as 'the point of the book,' 'the key themes of the book,' and 'the thrust of the section,' pausing now and again to savor some fascinating detail. Helpful to both novice and scholar, especially for the textual and theological interconnections to which he points." -Elmer A. Martens, professor emeritus of Old Testament, Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary
"All who care for high-grade canonical biblical theology should welcome Dumbrell's magnum opus. Clear and well-informed, thoroughly abreast of current scholarship, and full of good matter economically expressed, this is equally a textbook for students, a reference book for expositors and a guidebook for thoughtful laypeople who want to take the measure of the book of God. Dumbrell does the church masterful service in these close-packed, nutritious pages." -J. I. Packer, Regent College
Author Bio▼▲
Publisher Description▼▲
Dumbrell traces the theological movement of each Old Testament book through the Hebrew canonical sequence of Law, Prophets, and Writings, "the manner in which Israel presented her faith." He not only brings forth insightful points and themes within each book, but he also makes original and refreshing connections to themes in other Old Testament books. This in turn leads to a discussion of the theology of the entire Old Testament canon.
"The authors of the biblical material had defined objectives in mind," writes Dumbrell. "The present work seeks to come to terms with such objectives and to present the theology underlying them." This book, then, shows how the Old Testament is not merely about ancient Israel or heroic individuals with exemplary morals. It is a book about God---his character, nature, and work in history. There are many ways to look at the Old Testament---survey the content, examine the historical movement, discuss critical issues---but this text discerns what the Old Testament says about God.
The Faith of Israel offers students and seminarians a comprehensive overview of the Old Testament that serves as a helpful complement to traditional survey texts. It is well-organized and divided into manageable sections, unified by an underlying theology that "God will not withdraw from his commitment to the world, a commitment given at creation and then affirmed through the call of Israel."

Audi Melges 20s Record Breaking 51 Boats For Bacardi Miami Sailing Week
5 March 2013
Miami, FL - The Audi Melges 20 fleet is proud to bring the 2013 Miami Winter Series to a close with the highly anticipated 2013 Bacardi Miami Sailing Week organized by STUDIOMILANO. The fleet continues to break participation records with 51 boats planned to be in attendance starting on Thursday, March 7 in Miami, Florida.
Continuing with the huge success of the fleet, the International Audi Melges 20 Class Association (IAM20CA) is thrilled to welcome the very first Japanese teams ever to race on the global circuit. Yousuke Watabe and Shibuki Iitsuka on JPN 241 and Naofumi Kamei and Kan Yamada sailing Mamma Aiuto! will convene on the starting line with the rest of the fleet for the Audi Melges 20 Miami Winter Series Event No. 3.
This highly diverse fleet will represent USA, Canada, British Virgin Islands, Italy, and now Japan. Yamada, Melges Japan sales representative, is ecstatic about the fleet growth in Japan.
"The Audi Melges 20 fleet is a perfect fit for the Japanese sailors and many have already shown great interest in the boat and for good reason." Yamada explains. "The Audi Melges 20 is an extremely attractive boat with the no hiking aspect, ease of mobility, screaming downwinds, and of course a highly competitive and a well supported fleet. My mission is to educate every Japanese sailor on just how wonderful the Audi Melges 20 truly is and about the phenomenal backing the IAM20CA provides to every single member of the class."
The stakes are heightened with the Audi Melges 20 Winter Series title up for grabs this weekend. The competition is incredibly close with current overall leader John Kilroy's Samba Pa Ti tied for points with Richard Davies' Section 16 in second. In third place is Marcus Eagan's Cajun Underwriting who is also tied for points with Rob Wilber's Cinghiale in fourth place. The Series includes the best of all three combined scores from the Miami Winter Series of regattas. View The 2013 Miami Winter Series Ranking.
Registration, practice, regatta preparation and opening ceremonies happen on Wednesday, March 6, with racing taking place Thursday through Saturday (eight races are scheduled). The Melges Skippers meeting will take place at Coconut Grove Sailing Club (GCSC) at 6:00pm on Wednesday, March 6th. Over the course of the weekend a grand host of Melges social events are on tap including the Melges Performance Sailing De-Brief Session presented by EFG Bank on Thursday afternoon post racing at GCSC, and the party everyone can't wait to attend — the MELGES ROCKS! party happens on Friday, March, 8 at 8:30 until at Mr. Moe's in the Grove. See you there!

5 Kilos
That's how much weight I gained in the last month or so, 5 Kgs. Amazing (shitty) how a few kilos deteriorates your fitness so bad. Just a short while back I used to be able to smoothly run a good 10-12 Kms. Today, I was hardly able to finish a 6K run, and in a lousy timing too. Just hate it.
After that weight I gained, my run is like a very tough struggle. I'm fighting my weak body, and its not fun. When I want to push harder, I start feeling my heavy muscles (body fat actually) pulling me down strongly, and my lungs are so wide open, they're ready to explode. Damn those 5 kilos.
I don't know how can people claim that being slim is a false image that is being sold by celebrities, and is not what we should look up to. Slim (not too slim) is good, its definetely healthy, and that's what everyone should work towards. Can you imagine having big butts and trying to reach deep down for that killer Squash drop shot. Impossible. Being slim is good for your health, and it also looks good on you. A tiny bit of chubbiness is only better in bed.
I like writing about this stuff. No one is ever interested in listening to my jogging experiences. My friends for sure would never want to listen to me analyzing the details of a run, so its great to write about it and just throw it out there.

Unable to connect to database I work on a windows machine with a debian linux server that hosts the database. I was unable to connect to the database in the same way as I can using the MySQL GUI tools, it kept giving type mismatch errors or similar. As a result it was a complete waste of time for me.
I failed connecting to remote mySQL server and missed tool for testing these problems:1. Is port 3306 open on my computer,2. Does remote DB is configured properly (is it listening port 3306).It may be separate application or single step in the installer. Something like PING would be handy tool working with remote servers.
Works perfectly and it\'s been realy usefull to administrate my server database, I find elements easly and relatively fast(by the way faster than some other tools I used before) and the editing is simple too.Greetings; Lyrik.
I started working with Rails / Ruby and I was needing a SQL client to create my data base and I found your software and until now it seems to me very good.Thanks for your interest.
it is a really good program. A SQL syntax analyser would be handy... where it analyzes the SQL code before it is put into work...I believe Squirel has that functionality...And since it is opensource you can look how they do it, and implement a function like that in your onw program.greetsKurt
Im know MS SQL Server quite good and started evaluating MySQL. I used dreamcoder for my first steps with MySQL. Until now it does not provide the same comfort as the SQL Server Management Studio and the error messages are not as helpful when I try to guess the correct SQL syntax. But nevertheless I was able to translate my SQL scripts from SQL Server to MySQL in a couple of houres. With some more knowlege about MySQL syntax this tool will be very helpfull.
While deleting your software (it was not what i needed) I was asked already to give my comment, which i did
Hiwe have MySQL backup file with dmp.tar.gz. can this tool convert to access or MS SQL?Thanks.Donald
I have installed the Version (2.3) but when i'm open the Toolkit i get the version number 1.1.17.The other thing i'm missing is the support for microsoft access databases 2007 (*.accdb).greetings Michael

The first faction dies...
Zombies and Mutants
The Winged Peach shoots the Nomad trooper next to him and grabs the medkit.
Meanwhile, the two Flail-wielding Skellies kill the greatest threat to the Zombie troops: the Nomads' flamethrower trooper.
The two machinegun zombies open fire on the Landship's crew.
They kill the minigun trooper who was manning the starboard side gun turret. The only minifigs left on the Landship are the pilot in the cockpit and a trooper in the portside turret.
Note: Massam seems to have some kind of computer bug. I'm not sure, his message wasn't too clear, but he may be dropping out of the game. If so, Silent-Sigfig will get the Police hero, since he gave me Massam's faction in his BFaT game.
The Policeman leans out of my VTOL and fires on the Nomads' landship, devoting all twenty backstab dice to damage. Needless to say...
...BOOM! No one was killed, but the landship is utterly destroyed.
The Policeman then attempted a stupendous feat to get a second action and repair the VTOL, but failed with a roll of 2. He wasted one Spare Part (leaving him with 2 remaining).
The survivalist Hero abandons the safety of his fort, charging across the ground while his grenade launcher fires full-auto at the remaining Nomads on the landship.
Both are killed. The only two Nomad Raiders remaining are the Battle Droid and the soldier who opened his crate, and they're too far away from the action to do very much.
Honda-Ziplok Clan
The Honda-Ziplok Flyer attacks the exposed Survivalist Last Man Standing, finishing him off.
It swoops in, and the pilot leaps out to collect the Survivalist's grenade launcher, then jumps back into the cockpit.
Nomad Raiders
The Raider and his droid companion move up and prepare to return fire if attacked.
No zombies resurrected this turn. If the Troll fails its resurrection roll next turn, it will become permanently dead. It might be wise for the winged Peach to fly back with the medkit and heal him.
Overwatch. Will post kill scores later. Bye!
