Launching Our New Season
Al and Willie as "Lewis and Clark" were top-billed vaudevillians for over forty years. Now they aren't even speaking. When CBS requests them for a "History of Comedy" retrospective, a grudging reunion brings the two back together, along with a flood of memories, miseries and laughs. This extremely sensitive and lovable play is one of Neil Simon's best.

10.): In the "General", "Settings", "Advanced" tab you should do the following:
Click the "Boot Order", "Floppy" checkbox to uncheck it.
The "CD/DVD-ROM" should be the first boot device (for installation only).
You can leave the "Boot Order", "Hard Disk" checkbox checked, you will re-order the drives later.
Leave the "Extended Features", "Enable ACPI" checkbox checked.
Click the "Extended Features", "Enable IO APIC" checkbox to make it checked.
If you have a newer CPU then click the "Extended Features", "Enable VT-x/AMD-V" checkbox to make it checked.
Click the "Extended Features", "Enable PAE/NX" checkbox to make it checked.
Choose "Bidirectional" for the "Shared Clipboard" setting.
Choose "PIIX4 for the "IDE Controller Type" (PIIX3 does not implement an SMBus or I2C bus).
Change the "Snapshot Folder" to the same location as your Virtual Boot Drive (C:\Backtrack3).
11.): In the "General", "Settings", "Description" tab you can type "Backtrack 3".
12.): In the "General", "Settings", "Other" tab you should leave the "Remember Mounted Media" checkbox checked.
13.): In the "Hard Disks" tab you should click the "Enable SATA Controller" checkbox.
You could add a second drive as per the instructions in step 7. call it something
like: "C:\Backtrack3\Backtrack3_HD2.vdi". I disabled the SATA checkbox and it seemed
like VirtualBox ran slightly quicker, more testing required. I Ended up leaving it on.
14.): You have already configured your CD/DVD-ROM settings and can skip the "Floppy" setting (unless you want a floppy drive).
15.): In the "Audio" tab you should click the "Enable Audio" checkbox.
Choose "Windows DirectSound" for the "Host Audio Driver".
Choose "ICH AC97" for the "Audio Controller", (if you don't have audio in Backtrack 3 then
try the older "SoundBlaster 16" card). Audio works fine OOTB one my system.
16.): In the "Network", "Adapter 1" tab you should do the following:
Leave the "Enable Network Adapter" checkbox checked.
Choose "Intel PRO/1000 T Server (82543GC)" for the "Adapter Type" setting.
Choose "Host Interface" for the "Attached to" setting. Later you will (attempt) to 'Bridge' your 'Wireless Network Card'.
Click the "Generate" button and change the last 8 digits of the "MAC Address" to an easy to remember (080012345678) value.
Next to the "Host Interfaces" box click on the "Add" button and name the interface VBH 1 (one, not "i" or "L").
When the Windows "Hardware Installation" panel appears for the "VirtualBox TAP Adapter" click on "Continue Anyway".
After a minute you will get a new Icon in your tray with a 'red X' over it. This is
OK, we will Bridge this later. If you have more than one 'Wireless Network Card' then
you can repeat step 16 (with different MAC and IF names).
17.): In the "Serial Ports", "Port 1" tab click on "Enable Serial Port", choose "Port Number",
"COM1" and "Port Mode", "Host Device". This would allow you to add GPS later and causes
the Linux OS to notice that you do have serial ports (and install a driver).
18.): In the "USB" tab click the "Enable USB Controller" and the "Enable USB 2.0 (EHCI) Controller" checkboxs.
Click your Windows XP "Start" button, click on "Run" and 'Open' "cmd" (to shell to DOS), then type this:
cd "C:\Program Files\Sun\xVM VirtualBox"
VBoxManage list usbhost
Look at the list of USB devices. You can add things like BlueTooth or a USB drive / USB Memory Card.
Use the "Add" button to create a new "Filter" and the "Edit" button to fill in the details,
if you get a detail wrong you will filter out the device and be unable to use it so if you
are uncertain then only fill in the "Name" and "Serial Number".
19.): You can setup "Shared Folders" and "Remote Display" if you want, I did not.
20.): Prior to leaving the "Settings" panel please ensure that there is no "red warning message"
in the bottom panel and "Invalid settings detected". If there is then go back to the
suggested entry and see if it is correct. Sometimes a false warning is given and you can
simply click, then un-click on something, change the pane to a different one and the message
will go away without actually having changed anything. New software can have bugs or you may
have made an incompatable choice.
Hit "OK" and in the "Sun xVM VirtualBox" window, on the "Details" tab, all the black
writing (on the left) will turn blue once you have everthing correctly set.
21.): In the "Sun xVM VirtualBox" window click on "File", "Preferences" and in the "VirtualBox - Settings",
"Input" panel you might want to change the "Host Key" before you continue. Remember what it is
set to and click "OK". The "Host Key" allows you to swap between Backtrack 3 and Windows.
22.): Now click the green start arrow and Backtrack 3 should start to boot in the Virtual Machine.
23.): When the Virtual Machine starts you will get a reminder about your "Host Key", read the
message and then:
Click the "OK" button and QUICKLY get ready to hit the "Maximize button (so Backtrack 3
will know your true screen size). You might get a couple of popups about your screen being
in 24 bit mode (when you are actually in 32 bit mode), click "OK" to ignore these messages.
24.): You will get a "Found New Hardware" Wizard popup as Backtrack 3 boots. Grab the top and
move it out of the way so you can see Backtrack 3's boot screen and ensure that everything
is working properly. Remember, before you can use the mouse to grab the "Found New Hardware"
Wizard popup you MUST hit your "Host Key".
25.): When you get to Backtrack 3's login prompt you can go back to dealing with the "Found New Hardware" Wizard popup.
The first pane of the popup says "Can Windows connect to Windows Update to search for
software?", choose "No, not this time" and click "Next". The second pane of the popup says
"What do you want the Wizard to do?", choose "Install from a list or a specific location
(Advanced)" and click "Next". On the next pane choose the 'Radio Button' labeled "Don't
search. I will choose the driver to install. Click next. If you need to locate the driver
it might be in this directory: C:\Program Files\Sun\xVM VirtualBox\drivers\USB\device\ .
Click "Finish" to close the Wizard.
26.): If you return to Backtrack 3 (using ALT-TAB) you might see a black screen, click on it.
Now you might get a message about capturing the mouseclick, choose capture and move your
mouse. The screensaver will unblank.
27.): Now login to Backtrack three as user "root" with password "toor". Type "reboot" and
Backtrack 3 will eject the virtual CD/DVD-ROM and halt with a Fatal Error. Go to
VirtualBox's "File" menu and choose "Reset", when the capture box pops up click "OK"
(quickly) and hit the "Down Arrow" to defeat the 4 second countdown.
28.): These Lilo boot options are available under VirtualBox (without mods, with 64MB display memory):
BT3 Graphics mode (Compiz) - Boots but xconfig / startx reboots the X Server.
BT3 Graphics mode (Compiz Nvidia) - Boots but xconfig / startx reboots the X Server.
BT3 Graphics mode (KDE) - Keeps popping up messages about 16-bit mode and rebooting the X Server.
BT3 Graphics mode (Flux) - Keeps popping up messages about 16-bit mode and rebooting the X Server.
BT3 Graphics mode (VESA KDE) - Boots and starts the X session (in 16 bit mode).
...If you use the first setting and then run xconf you can run startx and see the errors
when the X Server terminates. If you use 120MB (120!) of memory for the "Video Memory Size"
then you only get 16 bit display depth (and few errors). Refer to Section 9 (above) in
this Tutorial for info about VirtualBox Video Modes.
After only a little testing (and messing around) I found that "BT3 Graphics mode (VESA KDE)"
was the only true graphics mode that works. You can use the "Compviz" modes if you don't
want to use X11 and the GUI.

Candle sparks fire, displaces Falls apartment house residents
NIAGARA FALLS – An overturned candle ignited nearby curtains, sparking a Sunday morning fire that heavily damaged a two-family home at 431 10th Street.
Emergency crews were sent to the scene at 11:11 a.m., and found the first floor of the building fully engulfed. All of the residents safely escaped, thanks to residents on the lower floor alerting their upstairs neighbor when the fire began.
There were no injuries reported, and no damage estimate was available later Sunday.

Income Inequality Higher Than Ever
An academic paper updated by UC Berkley Professor Emmanuel Saez indicates that income disparity in America is higher than ever before.
In 2007, the paper says the top .01 percent of earners took home 6 percent of American wages. The trend of increasing income disparity began to accelerate during the Clinton years and continued to skyrocket under the Bush administration. Between 2002 and 2007, the top 1 percent captured two thirds of income growth, according to the paper.

The energy in Rockwell Cage provided a tremendous atmosphere for the final game of the regular season. With over 100 MIT alumni and their families attending today's tilt, the arena rocked throughout the entire first half. Each team traded three-point field goals often in the early minutes. While Jason O'Tash connected on three triples to lead the
In the second half, the Pride raced ahead behind a balanced scoring attack and the playmaking of Anthony Pizzo.
Mike D'Auria heated up late for MIT, which fell behind 64-47 with seven minutes left in regulation. D'Auria hit four three's in the half en route to a game-high 22 points. He also secured a career-high eight boards, and added four assists. D'Auria's final three with just over a minute to play, reduced the Pride's lead to 69-63, but Tech couldn't cut the deficit as
At halftime, the 1966-67 MIT men's basketball team was honored, and a banner unveiled, for plaudits as the ECAC Team of the Year, considered by many to be the best basketball team in the history of the program.

Waiter Receives Anti-Gay Message On Receipt Instead Of Tip
What is going on with bigots using restaurant receipts as preferred methods of communication?
Another restaurant receipt featuring a message of attack on a minority group has hit the Internet. This time around, it's a gay waiter who was on the receiving end of some nasty words from a bigoted customer.
The Carrabba's server in Kansas City, Kansas found the message on the back of a receipt from one of the table's he served earlier this week. It read: "Thank you for your service, it was excellent. That being said, we cannot in good conscience tip you, for your homosexual lifestyle is an affront to God. May God have mercy on you."
Friends and family have taken to social media to arrange a massive showing of support that will take place this evening at 6:30 p.m. at the restaurant, though the waiter insists he doesn't need monetary donations. "The offers to help pay me back are much appreciated, but not at all needed. I'd prefer to let my work ethic and my service do the talking, nothing else."
KMBC spoke with customers for their reactions to the news:
"I think it's so unfortunate that we would impress upon other people our beliefs," said Susan Fehlig.
"It's honestly despicable. It's not different than saying I'm not tipping you because you're black, or a Jew, or anything like that," said Will Rogers. "In this day and age, being gay, it's not really any cause for a fuss."

The BCCI chronicles
There were a dozen or so board members whose job it was to think alongside Darth Modi but not one of them had the temerity to do so. The penalty for independent thought was instant expulsion. Being ejected into the medialess void they called the world. Oblivion. Emasculation. No, they sat and watched attentively. For signs. From Darth Modi.
The board had been deliberating all morning on the new game that had just been presented before it. Darth Modi had often expressed the need to augment the finances of th BCCI. No one knew why this was necessary, but it was one of those questions one just did not ask. If Darth Modi said they needed more finances, they needed more finances.
The game designers had done a pretty decent presentation, the board members privately thought. Nothing boring, like Brian Lara Cricket or anything. Infact, this game was not even computer based.
The game set comprised of a smart white plastic board, with stumps, plastic fielders and a small plastic bat. The bat was special - made from a hi-tech, non-stick material. The rest of the stuff was regular plastic.
The game was a two-player contest, played as follows: The players would toss, and elect to bat or field. The fielding side player would dig his nose produce a booger, which he would roll into a little ball and toss at the batting side player. The objective of the batting side player was to hit the booger ball with the special non-stick bat, as far as possible. Depending on where the booger ball landed (there were markings on the field board), runs would accrue to the batting side player. And if the booger stuck to the stumps or one of the 'fielders', the batting side player would be 'out'.
There was a rush of excitement when the presentation was over. Board members discussed it among themselves. Even Darth Modi seemed pleased, judging from the emails he was sending to himself from one of his blackberries to the other. One of the board members asked the developers what would happen if the fielding side player failed to produce decent sized boogers. The developers seemed to have envisaged this possibility and pointed out to the provision under the rules where boogers could be borrowed from the batting side player, provided they were returned when it was the batting side player's turn to field. A healthy discussion, if you know what we mean.
And then the hush that we had mentioned at the start of this story settled upon them. Darth Modi was thinking.
"It's an interesting game", said Darth Modi.
"Interesting". "Very interesting". "Most interesting". went the murmurs around the board room.
"Well thought out and envisaged" he added.
"Well thought out" said one board member to his neighbour. "Yes", nodded the neighbour "And envisaged". "Envisaged", agreed a third.
"But", said Darth Modi.
"But?" asked one of the developers, in a crushed sort of voice
"Yes, But! But the BCCI cannot promote it"
"Why?" cried the game developers plaintively, in unison. The hearts of the board members were rended.
"The BCCI cannot promote it. It's snot cricket."
The business of the day was over. The board members dispersed, shaken by the thought of how close they had come to declaring their approval. In the distance, the developers could be heard screaming as bouncers dragged them up the stairs to fling them from the roof.
But Darth Modi was not perturbed. He had just got a brilliant idea, which he would lift from a journalist.
He would auction off the IPL trophy.

Due to floods in Gaspésie during 2010, this couple had to relocate and build a new house farther away from the beach.
They chose a spot framed by a beautiful backdrop of spruce trees. They are now only five minutes from the shore. Although they now only partially view the waterfront, they can hear the waves and that's just fine by them.
With the help of family and friends, for which they are grateful, they've been working tediously and have - responsibly - reused materials from their demolished residence. They also constructed the stairs out of spruce and cedar trees that they cut down themselves.
Some of the owners' requirements were challenging as far as landscaping goes. These included easy access to many storage spaces, with doors on almost every wall around the foundation and sides of the balconies. These openings serve to put away exterior furniture and garden tools. For the winter, they also requested that the cars be parked as close as possible to the balcony.
The white windows had a cream outer frame that needed to be painted in the same snowy colour. To unify the facade, the foundation surface ought to be painted the same dark brown as the siding in a specialized product in a matte finish.
Both sides of the balconies and the front of the steps should be opaque or semi-opaque stained in an identical chocolate tint. The floors and steps would be painted muddy grey.
Not evident in the photo, in all perspectives, the roofs are at different angles, which provides a contemporary feel. To enhance the originality of the architecture, the common and plain vertical wood railing would lend itself to more appropriate flat but wide handrails and galvanized steel wires. The light fixture, with its long shape, will reflect the same rectangular theme as many other features like the doors, windows, incoming lattice structures, flower boxes and oversized cement patio slabs.
The west side of the home may not be the front of the house, but is the first impression as you come in from the road or driveway and needs to act as such with a welcoming landscaping.
The owners already possessed an array of colourful vegetation specimens, which I tried to incorporate in my new palette of white, yellow, orange and red. This scheme, obtained from blooms, foliage and fruits, would beautifully harmonize with the chocolate brown walls.
On the left, a row of orange Hemerocallis perennials will be planted on the exterior edge of the walkway leading to the firewood location. A bit farther away from the house but still toward the entry area, their own golden Cotinus will take your breath away, showing off its smoke-like flowering and coral-orange leaves in fall. Planted in the corner space, instead of some patio slabs, the proprietor's Korean shrub will embellish the area with yellow, orange and red autumn foliage.
A 12-rectangle-strong trellis on the driveway side and a slender eight-rectangle one on the other side will accommodate yellow bell-like Clematis climbers. These structures will be secured from the inside, onto the thick brown fascias. A repetition of three long flower boxes near the entrance and another below one of the large windows of the closed-in veranda will be filled with bright tangerine annuals. This pop of colour will be replicated on potentillas edging the light warm grey coloured patio. The delicate white flowers of the Heu-chera Peach Flambé will hover over its year-round peach, red and bronze leaves. In the background, I introduced a giant Quercus tree that turns to red in fall.
On the left, the foliage of the Sorbus will also blush in nippy weather. This medium-size tree will bear clusters of orange-red berries before its metamorphosis.
A trio of Miscanthus could be planted farther away from the wall to ensure access to the trap behind. They could also be placed in tall brown ceramic pots that could be moved if necessary. These should be temporarily transplanted in the backyard for winter, to then later return to their containers in spring.
For a strong visual statement, a Zen rock garden, consisting of three different-sized boulders would be established. In order to discourage weeds, the base would be carpeted with a textile membrane. Various dimensioned natural river stones would complete the spare look. A fourth medium-size rock could rest on the right side of the porch, closer to the path, to free the entry to a storage space on the side of the balcony.
When all the work's done and if the owner still has remnants of wood at his disposal ... a nice garden shed could be a future project. A mini version of the home design would look special.
- Sorbus aucuparia Rossica (medium tree, white, red in fall, orange-red fruits)
- Owner's Cotinus coggygria Golden Spirit (shrub, yellow to coral-orange, left)
- Owner's Hemerocallis (perennials, orange, left path)
- Calibrachoa Million Bells Tangerine (annuals, tangerine, three flower boxes)
- Vaccinium vitis-idaea (persistent ground cover, white blooms, red fruits)
- Heuchera Peach Flambé (persistent perennials, white, peach, red and bronze )
- Clematis tangutica Golden Tiara (two, climbing, yellow bells, trellises)
- Miscanthus sinensis Sara-bande (three ornamental grasses, in tall pots or in ground)
- Potentilla fruticosa Red Robin (shrubs, orange-red, hedge, patio)
- Owner's Hemerocallis Stella de Oro (perennials, yellow, around closed-in veranda)
- Owner's Korean maple (shrub, yellow, orange and red in fall)
- Tropaeolum majus (annuals, orange, flower box, right)

LocalCulture necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 152 diseños de 20 diseñadores freelance.
Local Culture frozen yogurt
Hello all! We are two young professionals looking to start our own business. One of us has a law degree and the other a CPA. We both attended undergraduate together and can't wait to see what you come up with.
Our goal is to start a string of self-serve yogurt stores in the Southeast. Our core product will be frozen yogurt, with a large selection of toppings ranging from fresh fruit to candy. We also intend to possibly incorporate Gourmet Coffee into our stores. Local Culture's brand will focus on two things: Local Products & Great Yogurt. We want to distinguish our store from those out there such as Pinkberry, Red Mango, Yogurtland, etc.
The name Local Culture hints at two different concepts. First, the idea of the local community and the feel of the area that our store is located. Alternatively, the word culture refers to the live active cultures that exist in yogurt and make it so healthy.
The ambiance will differ from most yogurt stores in that we will have a more laid back atmosphere, almost high end yogurt bar. Instead of clear chairs and extreme contemporary furniture, ours will be more subtle & refined. We want to keep the atmosphere fun, but do not want to make it cheesy. If that makes sense. We are striving for a sophisticated yet trendy atmosphere. A cross between a nice wine bar and a cool coffee shop.
We will be primarily located in college towns in the southeast and will target all age groups (From young adult women with kids, high school & university students & adults, but not limited to these examples).
Our audience is Health Conscious; our yogurt is fat free and roughly 25 calories per ounce.
"Eating Healthy Does Not Mean Sacrificing Delicious"
*Logo will be used on storefront, cups & marketing materials.
1. Not set on a color theme, but want it to stand out. Vibrant Colors that are attributable to fresh fruit will might do well, but your choice.
2. Want "Local Culture" to be focus with "frozen yogurt" either underneath or accenting it. We are COMPLETELY OPEN, maybe an Acronym of "LC" can be incorporated. Be Creative!
3. The logo needs to convey that our brand is: Sophisticated, Fun & Healthy
4. We think having fresh fruit in the design would look great, but want to keep ourselves distinguished from those already out there.

Just a curious note on some of the pictures...
If that's a bridge behind, why would there be an underpass? It seems kind of redundant.
But anyways, it's good to see that they're taking the scenes as reference and improving them to suit the story, instead of just "photoshopping" them. The grounds for the sacred tree and the shrine is another example.

Maybe it's knowing which split-second to use for comic timing. Or how to touch an otaku's soul with a character's movements or glance. He seems to me to know just how seriously (or unseriously) to present a character. Or just having a great ironic sense of humor himself. He somehow intensifies both the amusing and the touching elements of Nagi's character, as presented in the manga. And he does it while sticking quite close to the story and images of the manga.
And I think he has a special talent for combining image and music in entertaining ways. This is the guy who wrote, storyboarded, and directed the Suzumiya Haruhi ED and the Lucky Star OP, as well as the SHnY concert episode. He's just got the touch.
He's also rather daring. He did the storyboard for the SHnY episode with Yuki reading for three minutes. And he wrote, storyboarded, and directed episode 00, which took a pretty daring approach, coming first, and leaving Haruhi out until the end. He went ahead and started Lucky Star with the choco-cornet conversation, which worked for some people but really puzzled others.
Anyway, I'll post his photo again, just for good measure. Here he is with Hirano Aya in 2007. I can read a lot into that smile: amusement, irony, knowingness, tension.

Aye, he's becoming a director that I'll be keeping an eye on. Someone who channels multi-frequency high information signals in harmony. ... yeah, that probably only made sense to an electrical engineer but he puts texture into what would be banality in other hands.

I notice that Ordet (Yamakan's company) gets billing more or less equal to A-1. Perhaps A-1 is covering itself by contracting with Ordet for deliverables, rather than just hiring Yamakan and taking all the financial risk itself.
On the other hand, he may be a perfectionist in some ways, but it appears that he's not a stickler for perfect continuity (the missed hug scene) or having all the backgrounds make perfect sense (the unnecessary underpass). Neither of those things bothered me, in context.

I understand where the criticism might come from, because the TOTALLY mundane and otherwise totally useless parts of the anime are animated very intricately. Not that I'm complaining, but if they use up a ton of budget just to animate an everyday scene that doesn't absolutely require it, the director will get some heat for it.
As for the ep itself, I'm surprised to see that I'm rather liking all the new characters they're introducing. Dokusasori, eh? What a blunt way of describing the guy's scorpion-esque hair.

Take a look at Rosario Cross Vampire Capu2 - it is also at "3 eps", but has 66 pages of discussion (more than twice of Kannagi), has an additional first season and *two* much longer manga series(http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=47934 alone has enough posts to topple half of existing subforums!) - and yet it has no subforum of its own.

With 4 eps, Toradora also has about double the amount of pages Kannagi has. But like xris said, they're taking a gamble with this series by giving it a subforum, but I'm not complaining since this is one of the top shows of the season for me. Besides, CG and MF just finished so they need new series to fill the void.

You also have to factor in "how many different people post and how often" in addition to pure numbers. A small dedicated group with lots to say can generate a lot of pages but in the end, its a small table at a pub so a subforum level of organization isn't needed.
Choosing what to subforum is a tricky thing. I mentioned Kashimashi because it initially generated a lot of traffic and as soon as it got subforumed, it trickled down to a few passionate posters.

Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpucho
Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpucho (Tokyo Demon Academy Kenpucho)
New action/shounen fantasy anime airing on 2007/01/19. Based loosely on a series of PS2 RPG games. OP & ED are by ACID. No trailer yet.
Here's the synopis (with cast):
So yeah, more high school kids vs monsters (or Oni in this case), but I like the idea of the various martial arts disciplines being a key part of the student's lives (rather than them just being random skills) and kyudo especially (I don't think I've seen archery featured in an anime since Arjuna). There's not much info about this show but I'm hoping it's not a cliche shounen fightfest and something more intriguing.

I enjoyed this game a lot. And when I looked at the character designs of the anime I was like what the hell this isn't anything like the game's atmosphere! Well,the character designs in the game weren't that pretty to start with,but it suited the game well.
What the game was good about was all about its 'Emotion Input System'..where the hero expresses his emotion in 8 buttons.(anger,suffering,sadness,callousness,happi ness,agreement,friendship,love) It's hilarious to see the character's reactions...and you know..you can show love to male characters as well. (and proves Kyoichi is gay..) Plus you each have an ending that corrosponds to the characters you showed love to. In Kenpoucho,there were only endings for Misato(god I hate her),Komaki,Kyoichi and Daigo but in the fandisk you can see endings for all..uh....30 characters.(I think it was 30..)
The fact that the main hero talks in the anime just takes away most of the fun..
Also the story was not that special but really well written throughout the 30 chapters of the game..I'm kindda worried about the anime cuz,wellllllll...most anime adaptations are not that good.
We'll see when it comes out but...I still don't like the character designs!

Ah ha, because I poked around the game site (with some nice artwork) but it didn't seem to bare much resemblance to the anime at all; apart from the basic roles and the weapons of-course.

I was attracted to the character designs when I was flipping through Newtype too. It was like "oh... another moe loli series.... another one..." (okay there weren't that many but few shows caught my attention) and then this sort of made me stop for a short bit. I somehow like the lines a lot and the designs are just attractive to me.
Although those are pretty crazy ahoges.... heh
And... what the heck? Does the game even have anything remotely to do with this? I can't see any resemblence...
EDIT: Ah, I see now. I think the anime is not really an adaptation of a game but like a reinterpretation or something... just using a similar premise and stuff... perhaps..

Ahoges! That's the word I was looking for! When I was writing the first post I could not remember for the life of me the word for the sticky-uppy hair things. Sadly I will never be a Grade A otaku...wait, perhaps that's a good thing.
Anyway, yeah I'm smitten with the character designs and their rather natural colour scheme i.e. no orange haired protagonists here. I'm eager to see a trailer though; hoping the art style transfers to the screen. I was wondering if they changed into their Edo era costumes to do battle or something to tie in with the game.

Ahhh, that makes a lot more sense. Thank you very much, they do look more similar here. Though there still is quite a difference in art style... Yet I somehow find myself liking the animation ones more, probably because I tend to appreciate anime character designs more easily and I can't help but like its confident, strong lines (we'll put the ridiculous ahoge to one side for now).
Perhaps the decision to adapt the designs in that way is a mark that the story too will not be very faithful to the game? I dunno. (I don't really care, either.. since I haven't played it.)

Possibly. Like, one thing I noticed was that in the scan from earlier, Aoi is holding a naginata. In the game, her only weapons are rings, and she doesn't get any offensive capabilities until like, Level 40.
And, like, Hisui is already listed on the character page, which is weird because he's a pretty minor character, especially when compared to the other 6.

Thanks for the info Jesus Christnekoff. The website has been updated, includes a handful of other wonderfully designed characters, including the freakish looking Kodunu (love the hair) and token loli Mary. Also on the outline page there's two tantalising shots from the anime, though not really enough to draw any conclusions on how it'll be animated.

Wow. Kodzuno, what happened to you?
And I never thought I'd see the day when Maria is wearing baggy khakis. She's supposed to be like, all glamorous and stuff.
Anyway, Maria Alucard and Morihito Inugami are teachers at Magami High. Maria is Hiyu's homeroom teacher. Kodzuno is, well, a villain, as if you couldn't figure that out by looking at him. Marie Crea is a firestarter (Y'know, psychic and can create fire and whatnot) who is supposed to have a little cat named Mephisto but I do not see him and that makes me sad.
I apologize for being all like "OMG WTF???" but its just like... wow.
(For the recrod: Kyoko Tohno works on the Magami High newspaper. Hisui Kisaragi runs the antique shop, and is also a ninja. And doesn't attend Magami.)

I was going to watch the first 3 episodes anyway, but Eggplant's vote of confidence makes me look forward to the episode even more. There can never be enough shounen series after all. My only concern would be that the series will not take a chapter for inconsistency from Tenjou Tenje in regards to animation.

Oh man, that first ep was wonderful. A little heavy on the violin at the start, but the mop thing got a laugh from me, as did the photographer under the pavement. Choreography is impressive and the animation matches it. It could stand to be a little more colorful and less grey, but I'll live. A primer on the world would definitely have done me a great deal of good since about 50% of the episode or so is various fight scenes.
And yes, I also find it funny that Horie Yui is playing another seitokaicho role. Busy busy girl these days.

Screenshot for Episode 1:
Music: Brilliant!
Animation: Very good
Background Image: Very very detailed!
Story: One could write a short novel from what transpired in episode 1 alone. Way too many things happened to make me struggle to keep up with what's going on. I'm certain the following episodes won't be able to maintain this much detail consistently.
Entertainment Value: From my perspective, this is the best first episode from all the series I've seen so far in this Winter 2007 season. I should also note that I'm an avid shounen-fan, but that doesn't mean I would go gaga over anything. This episode indeed was very good!
Hence, my request to the Anime Gods: If you are reading this thread...... please, please don't let this series end up in the land of mediocrity after the 3rd episode.

Oh damn you, Sonhex! Damn you and damn you to heck and back! I was going to silently ignore this series hoping it'll just end up being a disappointment but now that I"ve read your raving review of it I just have to watch it now, don't I? Especially when you mention the animation! God, I remember this happening with a particular show beginning with B... but that level of crazy addiction is not happening for this show, I will make sure of it! (I doubt it'll hook me as much anyway)
And it doesn't help that when I finally decide to go visit the sakuga thread at 2ch they're all currently raving about the first episode of this show. Now I have to take a look at it... I had a look at the animators names though, surprisingly nothing really stood out apart from Hisashi Saitou whom I remember seeing here and there in other good eps of Stuff.
I think perhaps episode 1 was given a lot of time in production and what may have been normally mediocre animators could do a better job (like how some so-so animators at I.G. turn into great people when it comes to movies). Either that or Jun Nakai is a genius.
It's not just the animators though, the episode director must have gotten it all down precisely. Well, I'll go yap on about it when the episode downloads... The scary thing is... It's not like I hate superpowers-in-school stuff. Actually, I think that's another one of my 1001 guilty pleasures. It's one of the genres that got me so hooked onto anime to begin with so if it's really flashy and done well and is consistently cool... then why not? Just watching it is fine...
I have a sinking feeling they won't keep up the quality though. After all I'm really relying on the Spring season for my eyecandy quota. *drools at the general direction of Seirei no Moribito, Gurenn-Lagann and Dennou Coil*

easy... you don't. That's the whole beauty of the situation. The two Ichikas are always drawn to each other because of their similarities. At the same time, they are intrigued by how different they are beyond their gender.
The other girls are always hanging around him but when he tries to get some peace and quiet, it's always the female ichika who ends up there. standard shoujo fair y'know?

that's the spirit.
His type is the selfless, mature girl that firm on her words and dedication. Maybe because it's an antithesis of Ran, and kinda similar to his mom.
@ Demi
In short, the usual demotion

Oedipus complex? Hardly, it's a real life phenomenon and less squicky than it sound, just a little...old school.
It can be explained that since Dan lack a father figure (obscured on purpose), and his granddad is an ass, his vision of ideal parent would be his mother. And in his mind, the image of a good wife = image of his mother.
@ Demi
I don't know Scott Pilgrim, but I'm certain I HAVE to demote the harem, it just don't work.

True, it's sometimes go overboard and turn into Mother Complex which kids need to grow out of, this is not Dan's case, however. Therefore, it's never problematic, just that it formed what he is now, especially his type.

or one kanji/syllable. Which is actually more applicable in japanese writing system.
There must be a way other than demotion. I mean demotion requires impeccable reasoning so as not to appear as an asspull. Or at least some serious pacing haha.

^ Exactly, My sis is new to this field, I can help, but you know my penchant for unnecessary drama might taint the mood of otherwise lighthearted story.
Houki's counterpart and her entire family already dead here, for example. Charlotte never born, Charles is, and while Dunois is a rich family, they're not as stuck up as canon and thus he is tolerated. Rin never came to I.S.A. (more like... not yet) and her counterpart died in an accident. Laura's counterpart didn't exist, and Cecilia... I dunno.

Again, my incompetence and her inexperience might mess with stuff, just look at ST, it's pretty imbalanced. I do have a plan for Rin, Cecilia, Tatenashi, and Kanzashi.
Some spotlight will be provided, at worst they'll be secondary character, just not as much as canon.

This stork is flying so fast, that the background trees conglomerate into various green and yellow spots and his far away feathers seem to be rather white than black. The big feathers at wings end are bending in the wind, while the bird glides apparently effortlessly.
Born in Slovakia Lives and works in Munich in Germany Painting is one of my preferred means of expression. I paint typically in the tradition of van Gogh to Kokoschka with occasional experiments. Currently I am mostly interested in capturing animal movement and portrait studies. Since I admire and appreciate the beauty of the nature, I try to capture the most impressive sights on my photographs, which are often also the basis for my paintings. Opportunities for new exhibition(s) are greatly appreciated. For more information please visit also my blog at http://valerieornstein.wordpress.com/.

SVN Ant Task
It's been a while since I've posted anything here, but I've been puzzling over this for a couple of hours so I figure that it may be useful to someone else out there.
I've been trying to get svn working via ANT and was coming across some conflicting information (or so it seemed at the time).
- First, when setting this up, go to SVNAnt and download the latest zip file (as of this article, it's 1.3.1)
- Drop svnant.jar, svnjavahl.jar, svnClientAdapter.jar, ganymed.jar, jna.jar, and svnkit.jar somewhere on your computer. I put them into my ANT/lib folder
- Now in your ANT script start referencing those files and set up your target.
<path id="svnant.classpath">
<fileset dir="E:\apache-ant-1.9.2\lib">
<include name="svnant.jar" />
<include name="svnjavahl.jar"/>
<include name="svnClientAdapter.jar" />
<include name="ganymed.jar" />
<include name="jna.jar" />
<include name="svnkit.jar" />
<typedef resource="org/tigris/subversion/svnant/svnantlib.xml" classpathref="svnant.classpath" />
<target name="checkout">
<svn refid="svn.settings">
<checkout url="svn://blah/blah/trunk" destPath="workingcopy"/>
You'll need to modify the "checkout" to something that works for you, but this should get you started in the right direction.
The svnSettings was what was causing me the most issues. At first, I had javahl="true" svnkit="true" and was getting the error "Missing 'javahl' dependencies on the classpath. I then had javahl="false" svnkit="false" and this would give me an error about "Missing 'commandline' dependencies on the classpath" which apparently means that, by setting both javahl and svnkit to false that I need to pass some values in via the commandline. By setting javahl="false" and svnkit="true", I'm telling it to let ANT manage the svn processes.

GamesIndustry International has details on EA's new DICE studio in Los Angeles that will be focuses on creating games to capitalize on EA's new exclusive Star Wars games deal. They have liberated this information from the tyranny of the WSJ.com paywall, where they say the new studio will have a headcount of 60 by the end of this year. Apparently part of the appeal of that area is to be able to poach talent from Southern California studios like Treyarch and Infinity Ward: "There is an extreme talent pool over that we want a part of," says DICE general manager Karl-Magnus Troedsson. "It's no secret that our main competitor is there."

Akaghi grew up with Mizuki and Kate in a now-destroyed community of ninjas. He eventually found himself working for the Cray Trading Company, and was often on assigment with Mizuki, under the direct orders of Ramada.
They are sent to assassinate Lazlo, but upon their failure, and realization of Cray's true intentions, are asked by Ramada switch sides and serve Lazlo against Graham Cray.

Eric from GamR Mag writes: "...the truth of the matter is that Sony nearly stole the show from Microsoft when it comes to shooters. Some of these games ended up doing pretty well, a few struggled, and one fell flat on its face."
Sony has many exclusive titles in just about every genre, while ms just has a couple in some and none in most.
Aww I didn't know they were shutting down the MAG servers. That makes me kind of sad. I haven't played it in a long time but I put a lot of hours into it. I'll probably never throw away the disk just because of all the memories.
I would rather all devs put FPS games aside for a while and concentrate on different genres this gen.
I remember I used to be so hyped for Haze. My Halo friends would laugh at me... I had so much faith in Free Radical.
It's unfortunate how these shooters struggled. Resistance and SOCOM should have been so much more. Sony always had SOCOM, it's definitely the biggest disappointment and a title that should have succeeded if not for horrible management and cluelessness from the developers.
The only shooter I really wanted to play from Sony was Socom. I was playing Ghost Recon on Xbox and some of the feature in Socom sounded like they would have added to the fun in Ghost. Doing co-op online missions in Ghost was priceless though. Love those Xbox Ghost. GRAW was not quite as good.

Swiss grade mechanical watches, for 2% of their price.
Did you know that a 7,000 USD swiss watch costs less than 80 USD to manufacture?
According to COSC (Swiss most prestigious Horological institute), Rolex manufactured over 1,2 Million pieces in 2017, increasing their highly automated processes and technology, and creating little to no human interaction along the manufacturing process.
We often ask, "Why is a Mass-manufactured product (in millions of units) sold as an ultra-luxury item, when its actual cost is no more than just a few dollars a piece"?
Did you know that 40% of "Swiss Made", is actually made in Asia?
Under Swiss Law, Swiss manufacturers are allowed to outsource 40% of their production overseas (in countries such as China or Thailand), and still label their products as "Swiss Made".

LAKE WANAKA, New Zealand (August 15, 2009) New Zealand's largest snowboarding event, the Burton New Zealand Open Snowboarding Championships, came to a close today after four intense days of competition. Part of the Burton Global Open Series and the Swatch Ticket To Ride World Snowboard Tour, the 7th Annual New Zealand Open showcased some the world's top snowboarders competing in halfpipe and slopestyle competitions for over NZ$50,000 in prize money.
Hundreds of competitors from all over the world flocked to Cardrona Alpine Resort to compete, and action got underway on Wednesday with men's and women's slopestyle pre-qualifications and qualifications. Men's and women's halfpipe qualifications went down on Thursday, followed by men's and women's slopestyle semifinal and finals on Friday with Jamie Anderson (USA) and Sebastien Toutant (CAN) riding away with the top spots worth $6,000 each.
Saturday saw a field of 40 men and 21 women compete for the halfpipe titles worth NZ$6,000. In the women's competition Kelly Clark and Jiayu Liu battled it out in semifinals with huge amplitude and clean spins, while Elizabeth Beerman just bumped Kiwi Kendall Brown from advancing on to final. Louie Vito placed first in the men's semifinal competition, followed closely by Luke Mitrani in second and Shaun White in third.
Halfpipe finals consisted of three runs each for men and women, with the women first to drop. The Asian contingent finished strong taking four of the top eight spots in the women's finals, with Zhifeng Sun from China taking third. Her winning run featured an impressive frontside 900. Jiayu Liu (CHN) rode away with second with a run that featured back-to-back 720s and back-to-back 540s. But it was Kelly Clark that pulled it out with a whopping score of 83.67. Her winning run started with a massive frontside air followed by a backside 540 indy, into a frontside 720 tailgrab, followed by a Cab 720, finishing with a frontside 540 indy. Clark had this to say of her win, "I felt really good today; I got to try new things. I like progressing, and when you ride against a solid group of competitors it pushes me to do more. I'm happy that I did well for my first contest of the summer, especially going in to an Olympic year."
History was made today during the men's halfpipe finals. The best and most progressive riding ever witnessed went down, the crowd and judges were blown away by the double cork and spin combinations they were seeing. Kazuhiro Kokubo finished in third with a run that featured a huge McTwist, a frontside 900 tailgrab, an alleyoop chuck nose grab, and a frontside 1080 indy. Luke Mitrani took second with a run that included a double inverted 900 melon, a frontside 720 indy, a Cab 720 mute and a frontside 900 tailgrab. But it was Shaun White who was able to come from behind in semifinals to win the $6,000 top spot. His winning run started with a frontside lien air, to backside 900 melon, followed by a frontside 1080 stalefish, into a Cab double cork 1080 stalefish, to frontside double cork 900. No one was more pleased with the win than White himself, as he had this to say of his victory, "I'm proud to win today. This was the heaviest event that I have ever been in. That's saying a lot, as I have been in a lot of these. "
With the Burton New Zealand Open finished, the next stop in the BGOS is the European Open, taking place January 9-16, 2010 in Laax, Switzerland. The European Open is the second stop on the 2009-2010 Burton Global Open Series. Jamie Anderson and Mason Aguirre are currently in the lead for the Burton Global Open Series Championship titles and a piece of the $200,000 prize purse.
With his third result of the 09/10 season, Mason Aguirre takes over the top position on the Swatch TTR World Snowboard Tour followed by Sebastien Toutant in second and Charles Reid in third. Jamie Anderson maintains her lead of the women's ranking. With only two results on her account so far, 08/09 Swatch TTR World Champion Kelly Clark moves into world no. 7 with her victory in New Zealand.

Lamellar ichthyosis is a rare skin condition. It appears at birth and continues throughout life.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Lamellar ichthyosis is passed down through families (inherited). Both parents must have at least one abnormal gene to pass the condition to their children.
A babywith this condition is born with a shiny, waxy layer of skin called a collodian membrane. The membrane sheds within the first 2 weeks of life. The underneath is red as scaly skin remains underneath. It resembles the surface of a fish.
Moisturizers containing medicinessuch asurea, ammonium lactate, or other alpha-hydroxy acids may help shed dead skin layers. Also, retinoid medications such as tazarotene may be applied tothe skin.
Babies are at risk for infection when the collodian membrane is shed.
Eye problems may occur later in life because the eyes cannot close completely.

Maybe it's the freshness of the ingredients, maybe it's the use of all butter and no shortening, and perhaps its the knowledge that you took the time to fold that dough encased butter into about 1600 layers yourself. Whatever the reason, store bought croissants, or the ones in the can, just cannot compare to homemade.
At some point in the near future, I hope to make these again, with step by step pictures, since that is really the only way to describe and show how to truly make a great croissant. I always wanted to make puff pastry or croissants at home, but was always intimidated by the instructions I read online. I never knew how easy it was until I saw it in person in class this week. While it takes a long time, and may be a little tedious, the best way to learn how it to see the method first hand.
Until I can take some step-by-steps, you can see a pretty good tutorial posted on The Kitchn. The one thing that stands out right away from their pictures is the size of the triangles they cut. If you want a more traditionally shaped croissant, you want to cut a very long and skinny triangle, maybe three inches at the base and 10-12 inches long. Then, cut a one inch slit in the middle of the base, and stretch the corners out a bit until you get a shape like the Eiffel Tower. You will get even more layers and rolls this way.

The Terriers qualifiy for the national semifinals as Jason Lawrence scores the tie-breaking goal with 14.4 seconds left in regulation. If not for the play of freshman goalie Kieran Millan, however, New Hampshire might have advanced instead.
You can say Boston University is fortunate to have made it through to the Frozen Four.
Just don't call the Terriers lucky.
Sure, deflections went BU's way on both goals in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Hockey East rival New Hampshire, which came 14.4 seconds from forcing overtime for the second straight day in the NCAA Northeast Regionals at Verizon Wireless Arena. Jason Lawrence's winning goal, in fact, slid past goalie Brian Foster after hitting a UNH teammate.
BU also did a lot of what championship contenders must do: The Terriers won the special teams battle – one power-play goal for, none against. They got big plays from their best players. Most important, Boston University had the best goaltending.
"Absolutely, we were fortunate for the entire second period," said BU coach Jack Parker, "and on some of the 2-on-1s we gave up early in the third.
"But we weren't fortunate to get the winning goal, and we weren't fortunate to play as well as we did in the third."
As for freshman goalie Kieran Millan, one of four Terriers named to the All-Tournament team, Parker simply said, "He had a hell of a game."
Millan's near-perfect second period kept BU (33-6-4) in position to reach the Frozen Four for the first time since 1997. While he couldn't quite hold the 1-0 lead the Terriers took on Corey Trivino's loose-puck goal at 13:43 of the first, Millan (27 saves) wouldn't let the Wildcats (20-13-5) enter the third period with the lead. UNH dominated that middle period, outshooting BU by a 10-4 margin, but couldn't move ahead after Bobby Butler tied it at 5:52.
Millan, 27-2-3, was as adept at deflecting credit as he was at steering aside shots.
"(UNH) has a really good team," he said. "They get a lot of goals off the rush, and they have a lot of skilled players with some good moves.
"But I thought, for the most part, our defensemen and our forwards pressured them really well. (UNH) had some good chances, but we didn't really give them a lot of time and space to capitalize."
It sure looked like it at times, though. New Hampshire, which hit a post behind Milan during a power play early in the third (Marshfield's David Warsofsky was serving a hooking penalty), had the best scoring chance of the third with 4:36 left in regulation. Millan, however, made a brilliant glove save on Mike Sislo, who blasted away from the right circle on a 2-on-1.
A little more than a minute later, the Terriers seemed to grasp the seriousness of the situation. Brandon Yip (five shots) tested Foster with 3:02 to play, BU sustained pressure on its next shift, and when John McCarthy stickhandled through the slot in the final minute, New Hampshire's James van Riemsdyk had to hook him with 46 seconds left in regulation.
Lawrence, Boston University's goal-scoring leader, netted his 24th of the year on the power play, holding the puck in the left circle before snapping it toward the far post.
"I kind of lost sight of it," said Lawrence, who had a pass to linemate Colin Wilson in mind. "I just saw that it went in."
And BU moves on to meet Hockey East foe Vermont in next Thursday's national semifinal at Washington, D.C.
"I've been there many times – as a player, assistant coach and a head coach," said Parker, who has guided the Terriers to the Frozen Four for the 13th time, and searches for the third NCAA title of his career (first since 1995). "I really wanted these players to get this opportunity opportunity that so many other BU players have had."
