Ben Albahari
Ben Albahari is the founder of Take On It. He was a Program Manager at Microsoft for 5 years, where he worked on several projects, including the .NET Compact Framework and ADO.NET.
He was the cofounder of Genamics, a provider of tools for C# and J++ programmers, as well as software for DNA and protein sequence analysis. He is a co-author of C# Essentials, the first C# book from O'Reilly, and of previous editions of C# in a Nutshell.
"C# 5.0 Pocket Reference succinctly distills the key elements of its expansive brother tome into a slender, easy-to-carry-and-use format."
"I highly recommend this pocket reference guide. It is good value for money and a constant go-to book for C# developers."
"A solid foundation and it gives sharp precise code in every key stroke."
"Excellent summary of everything about C # 4.0 as a whole. Ideal book to keep as a comprehensive reference. Plenty of examples of targeted and well designed."
"It is not one of the books that I have read cover to cover, but C# in a Nutshell is one of the first books I pull off the book shelf when I need to look up a concept. As stated in the title, it is a reference book and does that job very well. If the reader has a background in programming and just needs a reference book on C# concepts this is a solid book. "
"This is a book C# programmers will find a useful addition to their bookshelves. "
"If you are looking for short, concise information about C# 3.0, this is a great little book. "
"...a succinct yet thorough collection of C# 3 0 code examples, descriptions,and illustrations...if you like having your reference data in hardcopy, this small practical reference is an excellent value for experienced programmers."
"Coming from another language it would serve as a better entry to C# than any of the "My First C#" books as it focuses on the language and how its syntax and features are to be used than how to program. It will definitely be staying on my desk within easy arm's reach for future projects."
"...if every professional developer working in .NET knew and applied the contents of [C# 3.0 in a] Nutshell, we'd be in a far better state as a development community and industry."
"Although called C# 3.0 in a Nutshell, the book covers much more than just C# as a language. The last 600 pages covers much of the core .NET Framework Base Class library - and has good chapters and samples on LINQ, XML, Streams, Regular Expressions, Threading, Collections, Serialization, etc. There is enough on each subject to be useful, while still being a quick read and easy to quickly look things up."
"C# 3.0 In A Nutshell presents the reader with a wealth of information about C# 3.0 and .NET, including a fairly solid introduction to the features of .NET 3.5, including the introduction of LINQ. While it's designed for existing C# developers, the book includes a good introductory tutorial that means that readers with Java or C++ experience, for example, can quickly pick things up...Overall this is an excellent resource for C# developers and is therefore highly recommended."
"C# 3.0 in a Nutshell is obviously a complete rewrite and has quickly become my prime reference...Thanks again for an excellent book that I expect to stand me in good stead for several years to come."
"I absolutely love what the Albahari brothers (Joe & Ben) have done with C# 3.0 in a Nutshell...It's pure genius
and if I ever write another book, it's a model I'm going to follow. Very highly recommended."

The USS Liberty was a converted World War II cargo ship that had been transformed into America's premier spy-ship by 1967. On the morning of 8 June 1967, the USS Liberty was navigating in international waters in the Mediterranean Sea....
On Monday at 7 PM, this spiritually driven political activist began a 24-hour FAST- an act of willing abstinence from food, drink, NEWS and Technology who respects the Wisdom Teachings of ALL religions although I no longer adhere to any ONE of them....
I grew up constantly hearing my mother say, "Eileen you climbed out of your crib before you were nine months old, you never walked you ran and you still haven't learned to slow down!"
What slowed me down at 59 was accumulations of physical injuries that also led me to begin the practice of yoga.
At this morning's Yin class, led by Jenny who gracefully glides across the floor reminded us to be compassionate and loving to ourselves and opening to the grace that is always available to us in the midst of our pain and suffering.
Grace is understood as elegance in form, manner, motion, action as well as mercy and clemency.
In Christian theology grace is defined not as a created substance of any kind, but as the love and mercy given to us by The Divine Creator as a spontaneous gift IF we are open to receive it.
Tantra is a philosophy that emphasizes personal experimentation and experience as a way to move forward on the path to self-realization....
When I began the Practice of Yoga last October [instead of undergoing total bilateral knee replacements] the very first question Gina, my first teacher at One Yoga asked the class was to offer One Word to explain WHY we were there.
"CHANGE" is what my heart and voice said, and that is exactly what I have been receiving ever since!
Over the following few weeks with Gina, she told me: "In Yoga you will always receive The Teacher you need."
Two weeks ago, I attended five classes taught by five different teachers and every ONE of them offered me The Change I needed to learn.
During last Saturday's Yin class taught by Max, he led us into "child pose" which we held a very long time.
Yin Yoga as Gina says is about "relaxing into the discomfort of therapeutic change."
Because of my decrepit knees* Max bolstered me into more of a Restore Child's pose, so I could surrender into the support of the bolsters.

At 22 and 25 years old, Brandi and Max technically could be my children....
This spiritually driven political activist and Wabi-Sabi Yogi in training experienced a deep healing from the practice of YIN YOGA, which brought me LIBERTY [freedom] but also led me back to the veterans of the USS LIBERTY....
Nine years ago, during my first of eight trips to the Holy Land, I embarked upon a spiritually driven political mission and was inspired by this quote I took to heart:
"The peace of the world begins in Jerusalem"- Rev. Theodore Hessburgh
Last Wednesday morning's Yin class was exactly what I needed before boarding an evening flight to Nashville by way of Atlanta....
A main reason I attend yoga classes is because people with open hearts, minds and positive energy always surround me there....

Hot Stove roundup: Drew's landing spot still a mystery
Shortstop's options dwindling; Phillies showing interest in Burnett
In a free-agent market light on shortstops, Stephen Drew would figure to be a hot commodity, coming off a year in which he played solid defense at the position and produced a .777 on-base-plus-slugging percentage for the Red Sox. Yet the 30-year-old seems to be running out of options, with Spring Training rapidly approaching.
On Tuesday night, Mets general manager Sandy Alderson told MLB.com's Anthony DiComo that it is "unlikely" his club will sign Drew. On Wednesday, our Bryan Hoch reported that the Yankees are not considering bringing in Drew, while Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com wrote that the A's also are not interested.
All of those factors could make a return to Boston more likely for Drew, who is tied to Draft-pick compensation after receiving a qualifying offer.
In other news from around the league:
• The Phillies could be a team to watch in the competition for veteran right-hander A.J. Burnett, a free agent who recently decided to pitch this season. Signing Burnett would be a great move for Philadelphia, one that just might get it back to the postseason, writes MLB.com columnist Richard Justice. Meanwhile, MLB.com's Tom Singer offers an idea for how the Pirates could manage to bring back Burnett.
• Bronson Arroyo told ESPN.com's Jayson Stark that while 12 teams have contacted his agent this offseason, he has not come close to a deal with any of them. Arroyo and Burnett are drawing some interest from the Blue Jays, but Toronto appears more focused on fellow free-agent right-handers Ubaldo Jimenez and Ervin Santana, according to Rosenthal.
• After a 15-year career that included six All-Star teams, a World Series title and 366 home runs, Lance Berkman told MLB.com that he has decided to retire. Berkman spent an injury-plagued 2013 with the Rangers.
• Right-hander Scott Baker, who returned from Tommy John surgery at the end of last season, signed a Minor League deal with the Mariners and figures to compete for a spot in their starting rotation.
• Former Phillies closer Ryan Madson, who has missed the past two seasons due to injury, held a private workout for an unknown team on Tuesday and is planning a public audition for more clubs on Feb. 7 in Phoenix, according to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com.
• The Cardinals and infielder Daniel Descalso agreed to a one-year contract, avoiding arbitration, while the Cubs did the same with outfielder Justin Ruggiano.
• The Reds bolstered their infield depth by signing veteran Ramon Santiago to a Minor League contract.
• For the third time this offseason, the Twins signed a former member of the organization to a Minor League deal, this time bringing back reliever Matt Guerrier.
• The Angels added Chad Tracy to the mix in their crowded competition for bench spots.
• The Royals acquired outfielder Carlos Peguero from the Mariners for a player to be named later and designated left-hander Everett Teaford for assignment.

Gallego beats Rodriguez to challenge Canseco in the fall
State Rep. Pete Gallego captured the Democratic nomination in the 23rd Congressional District on Tuesday, defeating former U.S. Rep. Ciro Rodriguez in a hard-fought primary runoff.
Gallego, D-Alpine, cut into Rodriguez strongholds of San Antonio and Eagle Pass.
"The take-away from tonight is that people don't like Washington. They are tired of the same old, no-results partisanship," Gallego said.
Turnout was moderate in the San Antonio-based congressional district that runs to El Paso.
Gallego will face U.S. Rep. Francisco "Quico" Canseco, R-San Antonio, who was unopposed in the Republican primary and has stockpiled a $1 million war chest for the November general election.
Rodriguez, 65, was seeking to win back the seat he lost to Canseco in 2010.
National Democrats favored Gallego, 50, a popular 20-year veteran of the state House. And the League of Conservation Voters, an environmental group, ran ads attacking Rodriguez.
Canseco, a freshman, is targeted by national Democrats who need 25 seats to win back control of the U.S. House of Representatives.
With nearly an equal number of Democrats and Republicans, the sprawling 23rd Congressional District is the only "swing" district in the state.
"The nature of the district assures that there will be a competitive race in November," said David Wasserman, a House race analyst for The Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan political newsletter.
The Cook Political Report rates the congressional race this fall as a "toss up."
The battle for the Democratic nomination was hard-fought.
Rodriguez won the endorsement of former President Bill Clinton, while Gallego received the endorsement of San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro, tapped to deliver the keynote address on the opening night of the Democratic National Convention.
Democratic leaders helped Gallego to out- raise and outspend Rodriguez in the May 29 primary, and again in the runoff.

• Pimentel: Cruz nomination will test political notions

• Cortez beats Torres in House District 117
• Incumbents hold sway in Bexar runoffs

Rodriguez, who served 12 years in Congress, relied heavily on a grass-roots network and name identification. Rodriguez received the most votes in the primary, but was followed closely by Gallego, who forced a runoff.
San Antonio patent lawyer John Bustamante also ran in the primary.

Gen-i teams with Cisco to launch ReadyCloud Collaboration
Gen-i teams with Cisco to launch ReadyCloud Collaboration
New hosted collaboration solution will enable businesses to harness the benefits of an increasingly mobile workforce
AUCKLAND, 05 February 2013 – Gen-i and Cisco today announced the companies are teaming to bring Cisco's Hosted Collaboration Solution into the New Zealand market for the first time, marketed as Gen-i's ReadyCloud® Collaboration.
Gen-i's new ReadyCloud Collaboration offering brings together Cisco's international strength and Geni's proven local knowledge, coverage and infrastructure to deliver a flexible, highly secure and cost effective hosted collaboration service to New Zealand businesses.
ReadyCloud Collaboration supports businesses in developing an integrated, flexible, and highly secure work environment by simplifying and reducing the cost of collaboration, remote working and BYOD.
Services such as voice, instant messaging, presence and video calling can be accessed via desktop or mobile device, and businesses can assign the right mix of services to each employee, depending on their needs. ReadyCloud Collaboration also provides the flexibility to scale services up and down to meet changing business requirements.
This reduces cost by enabling businesses to pay for what they need, on a per month subscription basis.
Businesses can re-assign resource to focus on core business, as ReadyCloud Collaboration is fully managed by Gen-i and hosted locally in Gen-i's Tier-3 data centres. The ability of the platform to utilise existing hardware also has a significant positive impact on cost.
Gen-i's General Manager Operations and Marketing, Jo Allison, says: "Teaming with Cisco represents an important milestone in our drive to bring innovative new services developed by proven global technology providers into the New Zealand market."
"ReadyCloud Collaboration shifts the technology conversation from devices and desktops to people, sites, roles and employee needs. This aligns perfectly with the conversations we're having with our clients about the move towards a modern workspace that provides greater flexibility, productivity and operational efficiency."
"ReadyCloud Collaboration offers New Zealand customers a new way of thinking about employee collaboration in an increasingly mobile world," says Geoff Lawrie, Country Manager, Cisco New Zealand. "Hosted Collaboration Solutions offer the latest of everything with the ability to turn services on and off as needed while creating an environment which supports closer teamwork, faster decision making and the ability to work from anywhere."
ReadyCloud Collaboration will be showcased at Gen-i's 2013 ICT Conference, which is being held across 12 locations around the country between 19th February and 21st March.

ToC Horde Gear and other Updates
Alliance - Part 1 & Part 2
Horde - Part 1 & Part 2
I've also updated a couple of the items. There was an issue with one of the crafted bracers where it didn't include the gem socket correctly. I also updated the Trinkets to make the BiS trinket rank properly. If you find any other issues please let me know.
Finally, I've gotten a couple of comments that say my "DPS numbers look low." The numbers next to the names are NOT DPS numbers. They are relative rankings based upon the stats on the item. I can't remember the exact number right now, but if you wanted to convert them to DPS number you have to multiply them by something similar to 1.35.

I feel your pain, Graylo.
God, do I ever feel your pain.
- September 2, 2009 at 4:49 PM
thx alot graylo.
would be nice if the BiS items were marked in the horde list, too.
- September 2, 2009 at 5:04 PM
Wow I would of just said tough. it your fault for rolling on the losing team
- September 2, 2009 at 6:01 PM
Well, it is appreciated. I am disappointed that other horde can't figure out which item is which. Of course, many people can't do anything without it being force fed to them.
We all appreciate what you do, and your lists are very good guidelines for any raiding Moonkin to use.
- September 2, 2009 at 6:16 PM
I'd have to agree with Fortitude, I appreciate the work you did, it's great to know I can refer to the horde list now.
However, it wasn't too hard to find the items with horde names that had the identical stats and iLvL.
As for the Anonymous post: Srsly? People still get caught up in the faction thing? I come to this blog for the quality moonkin discussion, I don't care what faction derives it.
Thanks again Graylo for the work on the lists, and thanks for going above and beyond for adding the horde lists, too!
- September 2, 2009 at 6:52 PM
Man... I do admire you to taking all the work necessary to do it... and there will always be ppl complaning.
You do all this work for free and there still are some ppl that email you saying they want something and if you don't do it, then you suck? I would just tell them to kiss my ass! incredible...
Anyways, thank you very much!

Please DO NOT flame other posters. I do not like deleting comments but will if neccesary and some of these are boarderline.
LOL!!! I bet you do, except it's probably more like my pain plus a private meeting with patchwerk.
A horde BIS is a little different then an Alliance BIS. Since BiS lists are pretty personal, there really isn't a purpose of me doing it for the horde.
- September 2, 2009 at 8:18 PM
I've noticed that the armory links from one faction item to the other, for instance:
This and the new search features in the armory are additions blizzard made that I was not aware of. Is it where everyone gets their loot lists? Usually I just wait for wowhead to update, but it often lags by a while. Where does everyone else source gear lists?
I wonder if, with all the work blizzard have done to implement faction gear, we won't see more of it in the future?
- September 2, 2009 at 9:00 PM
Thank you again for going above and beyond what you need to do Gray.
- September 3, 2009 at 8:52 AM
Thank you again for going above and beyond what you need to do Gray.
- September 3, 2009 at 8:52 AM
I was one of those who called them "DPS Numbers" My bad on that! Couldnt really think of another way to put it.
You do a great job for us with these lists!!
- September 3, 2009 at 9:19 AM
Thank you very much for all your hard work. I hope you do this out of compulsion and not because you feel obligated to do this list, we do look up to you and value your guidance.
- September 3, 2009 at 9:59 AM
Thanks so much for the lists, Gray, and I'm sorry my fellow Hordies can't make simple conversions.
- September 3, 2009 at 10:15 AM
Graylo, thank you for splitting the versions. We do appreciate all the work that you do!!!
To all the flamers of those of us who requested this:
When loot drops, I have about 15 seconds to decide whether to bid - not bidding by then is considered a "pass". Cross-referencing lists just took too long. I could try to figure it out based on who dropped what, but fell back on quick and dirty comparisons between current gear and dropped gear (in other words, the way I did it before the lists). Having the names of the gear with the relative ratings vastly simplified things.
Did I have any right to expect Gray to do this? Of course not! I am appreciative of his efforts in any form.
Am I grateful that he did accommodate the Horde? You betcha!

I understand how it is difficult to make quick choices. My guild makes loot decisions about that quickly as well.
However, I've never intended these lists to be a quick reference guide for loot decisions with the possible exception if Balance is your off spec.
There is a lot of things you have to balance to get a nice set of gear, so I expect people to look at the list to see what is available and now where it drops from. Then to make informed choices based upon their own needs.
The reason why I thought which name I used didn't matter much is because I expected people to come up with a gear plan. With my list players can look at the list, see what they want and see where it drops.
- September 3, 2009 at 4:59 PM
Hi Graylo,
again a great list but as I like to create my own set of items I prefer an excel sheet to see how much Crit, Haste an Hit I have.
Therefore I took your list and transfered most of the Items into such a sheet including the values for those stats and the summary value of all stats (quite se same as your old Solar Itemlist).
Of course I do not just have this for my own so guys here it is...

@ Nightedahs
Fraid to click it :)
Hopefully you removed the cloth items. I hate boomkins who think cloth is better than leather.
Go stand in the fire.
- September 6, 2009 at 12:21 AM
No I did not remove the cloth item, but I removed serveral trinkets and rings that had tons of hit rating, because for me I'm nearly hitcapped with 2 T8 and 2 T9 + weapons.
I forgot to mention that it is the list for Alliance gear
Nightedahs [Khaz'Goroth - EU]
- September 6, 2009 at 1:20 AM
so if you're going to do the 2 t8/2 t9 setup which are the optimal pieces to use? i keep waiting for the "comments to be posted later" i'm kinda holding off buying the t9 stuff until i know which one to wear.
- September 8, 2009 at 8:00 AM
Just have a look at Graylo's new post.
I would stick to Shoulders and Leggings of T8 because the T9 of these two items do not improve yout stats as much as the other three items.
I just finished my BiS List for leather only. Here it is
Malfurion's Cover of Triumph
Conqueror's Nightsong Mantle
Malfurion's Vestments of Triumph
Malfurion's Gloves of Triumph
Conqueror's Nightsong Trousers
Bracers of the Autumn Willow
Belt of the Winter Solstice
Boots of the Unrelenting Storm
Drape of Bitter Incanration
Wail of the Val'kyr
Firestorm Ring
Band of Deplorable Violence
Reign of the Unliving
Flare of the Heavens
Misery's End
Symbol of Transgression
You get 2228 Spellpower, 809 Crit, 352 Haste and 241 Hit out of the normal mode items which is a ranking of 4334. As I'm Alliance Druide the Hitcap is reached and with 3 yellow sockets and Haste enchant on cloak you're on the haste softcap.
The heroic items provide 2422 Spellpower, 860 Crit, 404 Haste and 266 Hit which is a ranking of 4825.

Checking whether the air you're breathing is dirty is likely to become yet another thing you can do with a cellphone. The University of California San Diego has developed CitiSense, an experimental tool that detects and measures a handful of pollutants and wirelessly sends the readings to Android phones.
The system is still in the development stage. But CitiSense has worked well in field tests and is the kind of personal air quality monitoring device federal regulators have been urging science and industry to make.
The system is fairly simple. The main box has sensors that check for carbon monoxide, ozone and nitrogen oxide, contaminants that are emitted by cars and trucks. If pollutants are found, the data is sent via Bluetooth to an Android, then displayed on an app. The same technology could be modified for an iPhone.
The device "is for people who would be sensitive to these pollutants, like asthmatics, the elderly, young children and high performance athletes," says William Griswold, the UCSD computer scientist who leads the development team. "We're measuring the pollutants that are most commonly encountered in San Diego County."
CitiSense is meant for people on the go, outdoors. But the device also could be useful indoors, and in confined spaces. Carbon monoxide -- which is odorless and colorless -- is a potentially deadly gas. Tennis star Vitas Gerulaitis died in 1994 from carbon monoxide that leaked from a heater while he was sleeping. The state of California is phasing in a law that requires homeowners to place carbon monoxide detectors in dwellings. But the devices don't have to be portable, like CitiSense.
The federal government has been promoting this general field of research through "My Air, My Health Challenge," a competition that's meant to lead to consumer-oriented air pollution sensors that also gauge the impact that contaminants are having on a person's body.
CitiSense doesn't measure physiology. And Griswold says his team hasn't decided whether it will try to commercialize their prototype. For the time being, they're focused on the basic system, which has some drawbacks. CitiSense constantly sends data to Android, which drains the cellphone's power. The sensors also have to be calibrated periodically, limiting the device's appeal, although that's a problem that could like be solved through software engineering.
Griswold said the work being done by UCSD and other developers elsewhere is laying the foundation of a device that won't have these problems, and will be integrated into all types of cellphones.
He got help field testing CitiSense from fellow faculty members, including computer scientist Charles Elkan, who lives in North Pacific Beach. Elkan attached CitiSense to a backpack that he carried between his home and office, and ended up getting a lot of different air quality readings.
"A device like this could a person's decision about where they choose to live," Elkan said. "People already evaluate how much street noise there is before they rent an apartment or buy a house. You could use this sensor to see how much pollution is in an area."
Wendy Chapman, a UCSD biomedical bioinformatics professor, also attached the device to the backpack she wore while cycling from Rancho Penasquitos to UCSD's main campus. She also carried it in her car.
"I learned that riding my bike can be bad for my lungs," Chapman said. "When I rode my bike on a path near the freeway, the air quality was terrible. But the readings inside my car, when I was stuck in rush hour traffic, were just fine.
"I don't have respiratory problems. But if I did, I could see where something like this might affect my behavior."

Cinco de May, May 5th, is about Mexican heritage and pride.
Today, Sept. 16, is Día de Independencia in Mexico, or Mexican Independence Day, celebrating a planned revolt against the Spanish colonial government. This day is akin to our July 4 Independence Day.
In the spirit of independence, I present a cocktail fitting the occasion. It takes advantage of seasonal Hatch chiles, and is a riff on a classic margarita. Chile wimps can make the classic version without the Hatch tequila.
Recipe: Hatch Chile Margarita
Summary: Lightly spicy with seasonal Hatch chiles, this classic margarita has a bit of a bite and ends with a smile. Make the Hatch tequila a week ahead.
For Hatch Tequila (Make a Week Ahead)
- 2 Hatch chiles, roasted, skinned, seeded and stemmed
- ½ cup white tequila
For Hatch Chile Margarita
- 1 ½ ounces white tequila
- 2 teaspoons Hatch tequila (from above recipe)
- 1 ounce Cointreau (or Grand Marnier or Triple Sec)
- 1 ounce Meyer lemon juice (can use regular lemon juice)
- Garnish: a strip of Hatch chile, threaded onto a toothpick
- For Hatch Tequila: Add chiles and tequila to a small jar with a lid. Close tightly and put in a dark pantry for at least 5 days (can be longer). After 5 days, it is ready to use. (You can keep it much longer.) You will note that the chiles have given up some of their color to the tequila. Be sure to label the jar so you know what it is later.
- For Hatch Chile Margarita: Combine tequila, Hatch tequila, Cointreau and lemon juice in a glass. Stir and add crushed ice. Note: Chileheads might like 1 tablespoon Hatch tequila instead of 2 teaspoons. You decide if you are a chilehead or not.
- Garnish with a strip of Hatch chile, threaded onto a toothpick or drink pick, if you like.
- Serves 1.
Lemon juice, not lime juice?
Margarita expert Al Lucero, who owns the renown Maria's Restaurant in Santa Fe, NM, and has written "The Great Margarita Book," and "Maria's Real Margarita Book," prefers lemon juice in his margaritas. Good enough for me! Also, see my award-winning Basilrita for another variation on this delicious theme.

The weather hasn't been the greatest for getting outside this spring.
The turkey hunters could vouch for that. So could a few rain-soaked morel hunters.
Still, the cycles of the seasons keep on going, whether we are there to witness them or not.
Here are a few highlights from my trips outside between rain showers in the past few weeks.
The top photo shows a migrating palm warbler at Lincoln Memorial Gardens. The other pictures were taken at the Nipper Wildlife Sanctuary and Jim Edgar Panther Creek State Fish and Wildlife Area.

Teravolt (Ability)
Flavor text
Teravolt (Japanese: テラボルテージ Teravoltage) is an Ability introduced in Generation V. It is the signature Ability of Zekrom and Black Kyurem.
In battle
Teravolt ignores the effects of Abilities that could potentially affect the damage or effects of a move that its user executes. For example, a Pokémon with Teravolt can hit opponents that possess Levitate by using Earthquake. Teravolt applies regardless of target Pokémon, but only to moves executed by its user (so if two Pokémon in a Double Battle both know Earthquake, only the Pokémon with Teravolt can hit a Pokémon with Levitate).
Unlike Gastro Acid, which completely negates a target's Ability, the opponents' Abilities otherwise remain in effect:
- Abilities that prevent status conditions (such as Immunity and Oblivious) will not protect the Pokémon from receiving the status condition; however, many of these Abilities also have effects to cure the Pokémon of the status condition if afflicted, which are not negated by Teravolt.
- If a Pokémon with Own Tempo consumes a held Berry that may cause confusion in response to the move of a Pokémon with Teravolt, it will become confused if it dislikes the flavor (although Own Tempo will then activate and cure it of confusion).
Teravolt can ignore the Abilities of Pokémon other than the target; for example, if a Pokémon with Teravolt uses Thunder Wave on a Grass-type Pokémon whose ally has Flower Veil, the target will still be paralyzed.
When a Pokémon with Teravolt uses a move, even the effects of allies' Abilities (notably Flower Gift, Sweet Veil, Aroma Veil and Flower Veil) are ignored for the duration of that move. As such, if the move of a Pokémon with Teravolt triggers an Ability (such as Gooey or Cursed Body) or item (such as Destiny Knot), the Pokémon with Teravolt will not be protected by its allies' Abilities; likewise, if a Destiny Knot held by a Pokémon with Teravolt is activated during the use of its own move (such as in response to the target's Cute Charm), that target will not be protected by its allies' Aroma Veil. This also means that a Pokémon with Teravolt will not gain Attack due to an ally's Flower Gift.
If a Pokémon with Teravolt forces a Pokémon to switch in with a move like Roar or Dragon Tail, Abilities that affect entry hazards will be ignored if possible; if forced to switch in this way:
- Pokémon with Levitate will be affected by Spikes and Toxic Spikes, unless they are Flying-type or holding an Air Balloon.
- Poison-type Pokémon with Levitate can remove Toxic Spikes, if they are not Flying-type and not holding an Air Balloon.
- Pokémon with Immunity will be poisoned by Toxic Spikes (although Immunity will then activate and cure them of poison).
- Pokémon with Leaf Guard will be poisoned by Toxic Spikes even during harsh sunlight.
- Pokémon with Simple, Contrary, Clear Body or White Smoke will have their Speed lowered one stage by Sticky Web.
- Grass-type Pokémon that have or have an ally with Flower Veil will be poisoned by Toxic Spikes, and will have their Speed lowered one stage by Sticky Web.
From Generation VI onward, a Pokémon with Overcoat will be affected by powder and spore moves as well.
When a Pokémon with Teravolt is brought out, the message "<name> is radiating a bursting aura!" will be displayed.
Abilities affected
Teravolt ignores the following Abilities, even in situations where the Ability could increase the power of a move (such as using Low Kick on a Pokémon with Heavy Metal or using a Fire-type move on a Pokémon with Dry Skin):
Teravolt does not ignore the effects of Aura Break, Magic Guard, Comatose, Shields Down, Full Metal Body, Shadow Shield, and Prism Armor.
Outside of battle
Teravolt has no effect outside of battle.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Tim Tebow's passes aren't pretty, his stats aren't spectacular, his footwork is flawed and his mechanics are a mess.
But he's terrific in the only measure that really counts in the NFL: He's 4-1 since supplanting Kyle Orton as the Denver Broncos' starting quarterback, with three fourth-quarter comebacks.
Yet the Broncos' front office isn't completely sold on Tebow being the long-term answer.
During John Elway's weekly radio show on KDSP-FM on Monday morning, host Gary Miller asked the Broncos' chief of football operations if he was "any closer to feeling if you have your quarterback on this team?"
Elway paused and answered, "No."
Elway pointed out that Tebow has to do better on third downs and improve as a passer.
Elway and Broncos general manager Brian Xanders have been watching some of the best college quarterbacks, including Andrew Luck, Nick Foles, Robert Griffin and Landry Jones, in person this fall. And on Monday, Elway sprinkled in praise for Tebow with some dollops of pragmatism.
Tebow has a 44.8 completion percentage. The silver lining is that the opponents aren't catching his passes, either. He has only one interception to go with his seven TD throws.
Former Pittsburgh Steelers coach and current CBS commentator Bill Cowher suggested Sunday that maybe the Broncos should consider using backup Brady Quinn or even going back to Orton in special packages to jump-start their offense before Tebow's fourth-quarter heroics.
"I'm sure those things will be thought about," Elway said. "In the game planning going into the next two days, I'm sure that will be something that we'll talk about. ... We'll continue to think outside the box. Obviously, if you do that, the defense has to think about that many more things.
"All those things are on the table. It's a matter of if it gets in the game plan or we see it on Sunday."

(written from a Production point of view)
The discovery of an injured adolescent Borg brings to the surface hard feelings for both Captain Picard and Guinan for what the Borg Collective had done to them. Matters are complicated when plans to use the young Borg to destroy his people are halted when it is discovered that the Borg has become an individual.
Summary Edit
- "Captain's log: Stardate 45854.2. The Enterprise is charting six star systems that make up the Argolis Cluster, an area being considered for colonization."
While exploring an uncharted system, the USS Enterprise-D receives a strange signal from a nearby moon. Believing it to be a distress call, Captain Picard sends an away team to the surface. There, Commander Riker, Worf and Dr. Crusher find a crashed starship, as well as several Borg corpses. Under the debris lies an unconscious, but very much alive, Borg drone.
Act OneEdit
When Commander Riker informs the captain of what they have found, Picard immediately prepares to bring the team back. However, Dr. Crusher disagrees, knowing the Borg will not survive if left unattended. Naturally, Worf suggests they kill it at once, but Picard agrees to bring it on board for a brief time. A holding cell is prepared and La Forge has a subspace dampening field placed around it, to prevent the Borg from communicating with its brethren. Picard retires to his ready room, as the team and the Borg are transported aboard. Counselor Troi follows, concerned that Picard is reliving old feelings from his capture by the Borg, but Picard reassures her that he's doing just fine and that he is perfectly comfortable with his decision.
Meanwhile, Crusher tends to the still-unconscious Borg. Some of his Borg implants have been damaged, but La Forge believes he'll be able to replace them without much trouble. Picard asks La Forge if he can access the root commands of the Borg with the new implants, in order to introduce an invasive program (topological anomaly), which would function as a slow-acting virus to destroy the entire Borg Collective from within. "You make it sound as if it's a disease", Crusher says. "Quite right, Doctor. If all goes well, a terminal one", Picard states.
Act TwoEdit
The crew think it would be a matter of months from the introduction of the program to the destruction of the Borg. Crusher seems to be the only one who is unsettled by this, as it appears to be pure genocide. Picard agrees that their plan would normally be unthinkable but claims that the Borg, and who they are, have left them no other choice. Riker also states that Humanity is at war with the Borg and Picard states that they must do anything they can to survive. Shortly thereafter, the Borg regains consciousness and explores its small cell. It searches for a terminal with which to contact the Collective, but it can't find one. Crusher theorizes that the Borg hungers for energy, so La Forge prepares a power conduit on which it can feed. As he works, Crusher observes that the Borg almost seems scared to be so alone.
In the meantime, Picard and Guinan fence, both physically and verbally. While Crusher disagrees with Picard on the introduction of the virus, Guinan suggests the danger of having the Borg on board at all is greater than he knows. When Picard cites humanitarian reasons, Guinan demonstrates the danger by suckering Picard into an easy defeat during another round of fencing.
Worf and La Forge enter the cell and set the Borg up with a power conduit. The Borg calls himself "Third of Five," but shows no real gratitude or Humanity whatsoever, merely repeating over and over, "You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile." La Forge and Worf finish their work and leave the Borg alone.
Act ThreeEdit
Some time later, La Forge and Crusher prepare to give the Borg perception tests in a science lab, when Crusher voices a great dislike for the proceedings. The Borg is beamed into their science lab and introduced to Crusher. After a brief discussion of how and why she saved its life and a mention of the upcoming tests, the conversation turns to names. Crusher explains that she and La Forge have names, not designations. During the conversation, the Borg believes he is being called "Hugh" (in reality, La Forge was saying "you") and the name sticks.
Hugh passes a spatial acuity test with flying colors and La Forge realizes it is because of Hugh's prosthetic eye. Hugh placidly hands over the prosthetic for examination and listens to Crusher explain that Humanity doesn't want to be assimilated. This puzzles Hugh, because he no longer hears the "voices" of other Borg that permeate his existence under normal circumstances. Crusher sympathizes with Hugh's feeling of loneliness and La Forge tells him that, after the tests are done, Hugh can be returned to the Collective, although he knows it will not be what Hugh is thinking.
After talking with Hugh, La Forge has second thoughts about their plan, so he voices them to Guinan in Ten Forward. Contrary to her normally sympathetic attitude, Guinan is completely closed off to him. She warns him what the other Borg are capable of and dismisses his soul-searching. When La Forge suggests she talk to Hugh, she refuses. "Then just listen; that is what you do best, isn't it?" La Forge replies. In the meantime, long-range sensors pick up a Borg scout ship about thirty-one hours away.
Act FourEdit
Guinan reluctantly visits Hugh in his cell and angrily informs him that "resistance is not futile." As she describes the El-Aurians' struggle against the Borg, she laments how few of her kind are left. Processing this, Hugh realizes that Guinan, like him, is lonely. For once, Guinan is speechless.
On hearing that the Federation wants to learn about other species, Hugh observes that assimilation allows the Borg to learn everything about a species. He fails to understand why Humans do not wish to be assimilated, prompting La Forge to talk of individuality and having a sense of self and how he would rather die than lose that. Hugh listens to La Forge's explanations and when La Forge describes friendship, he observes that their current relationship fits the description.
Later, La Forge and Data present the invasive program (topological anomaly) to an impressed Picard in the observation lounge. However, La Forge voices his newfound doubt about the plan, observing how un-Borg-like Hugh is now. It doesn't feel right to him to use Hugh as an instrument of genocide, but Picard likens La Forge's attitude to that of 20th century scientists growing attached to laboratory animals. He orders La Forge to "unattach" himself from Hugh.
That evening, Guinan visits Picard in his quarters. After they exchange some small talk, she expresses her own doubts about the morality of Picard's plan. She suggests that at the very least, Picard should talk to Hugh before committing to the plan before he regrets what he is about to do.
Picard seems unmoved, but he later has Hugh beamed directly to his ready room, along with Worf. Picard dismisses Worf and Hugh recognizes Picard as Locutus of Borg, so Picard plays along, attempting to bring out Hugh's full Borg-like nature. Instead, it brings out Hugh's individuality. The thought of La Forge and the others being assimilated seems to frighten Hugh, who has developed feelings of his own and refuses to help assimilate them. Most moving to Picard is Hugh's sudden grasp and use of the word "I".
Act FiveEdit
Picard is shocked and calls a staff meeting to explore other options. The crew eventually decide that, although the Borg would more than likely erase Hugh's memory of recent events, there might be a short time in which Hugh's "singularity" would affect the entire Collective consciousness, perhaps altering the nature of the Borg forever. Their plan is shattered when Crusher asks what will happen if Hugh doesn't want to leave.
Picard and La Forge let Hugh choose his fate, which confuses Hugh. Although he wants to stay with La Forge, he concludes that it would be too dangerous for his new friends. It would appear that while Hugh has gained a sense of self, he has also maintained a sense of selflessness. When they beam Hugh back to the moon where they found him, Picard allows La Forge to go as well, knowing the Borg ignore individuals who pose no threat. Meanwhile, the Enterprise hides in the star's chromosphere. Two Borg beam to the surface and link with Hugh. The Borg then reclaim the circuits from their fallen comrades and return to their ship, but as the beam whisks them away, Hugh gives a slight, but noticeable farewell nod to La Forge.
Memorable quotes Edit
"Away team, prepare to return to the ship!"
"Captain, we can't leave him here. He won't survive."
"I think the captain understands that."
"I don't."
- - Picard, after Crusher, Riker, and Worf discover Third of Five, a Borg
"Kill it now! Make it appear that it died in the crash."
- - Worf, on Third of Five
"Infect it? You make sound as if it's a disease."
"Quite right, Doctor. If all goes well… a terminal one."
- - Dr. Crusher and Picard
"I just think we should be clear about that. We're talking about annihilating an entire race."
"Which under most circumstances would be unconscionable, but as I see it, the Borg leave us with little choice."
- - Crusher and Picard, debating returning Third of Five back to the Borg with an invasive program that would destroy the Collective
"When I look at my patient, I don't see a collective consciousness, I don't see a hive. I see a living, breathing boy who has been hurt and who needs our help."
- - Dr. Crusher
"You felt sorry for me. Look what it got you."
- - Guinan, after besting Picard at fencing by feigning injury and referring to the danger of helping the lone Borg
"We are Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile."
"Just look around, pal. You're hardly in a position to make any demands."
- - Third of Five and La Forge
"You will be assimilated."
"Yes, but before that happens, could we ask you a few questions?"
- - Third of Five and La Forge, before La Forge starts testing
"Let me tell you something, when this kid's big brothers come looking for him, they're not gonna stop until they find him. And they'll come looking for us, and they will destroy us. And they will not do any of the soul-searching that you're doing now."
"So why don't you go and talk to him? It might not be so clear-cut then."
"Because I wouldn't have anything to say."
"Then why don't you just listen? That is what you do best, isn't it?"
- - Guinan and La Forge talk about his second thoughts on the invasive program for Hugh
"If you are going to use this person–"
"It's not a person, damn it! It's a Borg!"
- - Guinan and Picard, about Hugh
"Resistance… is not futile?"
- - Hugh, to Guinan
"Captain, I do not want to forget that I am Hugh."
- - Hugh to Picard, before beaming back down to the crash site

Story and production Edit
- After the success of "The Best of Both Worlds", the writing staff had been trying to find a way to bring the Borg back but was facing the problem of how to follow up with an enemy that was only barely escaped once. Ronald D. Moore commented, "I think this is a real good way to bring the Borg back, because they're very limiting in the way they are. They're this huge collective with no voice to communicate to and you can't relate to these guys. We keep saying they're unstoppable and if we keep stopping them it undercuts how unstoppable they truly are." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages, Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion)
- The idea for this episode originated at a retreat the writing staff took in the Fall of 1991. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion)
- The title of the episode is an allusion to Isaac Asimov's book I, Robot. This in turn was a reference to Robert Graves' book I, Claudius. It also makes a pun on the word "cyborg". In fact, while no comma was used when the title appeared on screen, the title was given with a comma in the script, as well as in a number of reference works including the Star Trek Encyclopedia (? ed., p. ?), Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages, the Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion, and on StarTrek.com.
- Production Meeting for this episode took place on Thursday 27 February 1992 at 2:30 p.m. ("Imaginary Friend" call sheet)
- Filming for the episode took place between Friday 6 March 1992 and Monday 16 March 1992 on Paramount Stage 8, 9, and 16. ("Lost and Found", Star Trek Magazine issue 147, "I Borg" call sheets)
- During filming of this episode contest winners and personal guests of Peter Lauritson visited the set on every day of filming. ("I Borg" call sheets)
- This was the first Borg episode not to be scored by Ron Jones. Instead, the composer is Jay Chattaway, who would compose "Descent" and "Descent, Part II", the last episodes of The Next Generation to feature the Borg.
- Costume designer Bob Blackman and make-up effects artist Michael Westmore once again honed the Borg make-up, adding a hologram in Hugh's eyepiece that would become common in later Borg designs.
- When explaining to Jean-Luc Picard the "virus" they will implant on Hugh, the display reads "Topological Anomaly 4747."
- Jonathan Del Arco was a fan of The Original Series while growing up, and jumped at a chance to be on The Next Generation. He had auditioned for the role of Wesley Crusher, but when it was given to Wil Wheaton he was so disappointed that he refused to watch "The Next Generation" until he got the chance to guest star on it. He joked that prior to taking the assignment, a friend warned him that he would be asked about it for years afterwards, which indeed proved to be the case. (Intergalactic Guest Stars, TNG Season 5 DVD special features)
- Hugh, in fact, uses the pronoun "I" much earlier in the episode, when he asks Crusher and La Forge "Do I have a name?". René Echevarria acknowledges this, much to his embarrassment, on the episode's audio commentary on the TNG Season 5 Blu-ray. Apparently, by the time Echevarria had caught the error in the script and reported it to producer Jeri Taylor, the scene had already been filmed.
Continuity Edit
- This episode recalls Picard's experience spanning from "The Best of Both Worlds" to "Family".
- The aftermath of Hugh's rejoining the Collective is revealed in "Descent" and "Descent, Part II". At the beginning of the Descent two-parter, Admiral Alynna Nechayev criticizes Picard's decision to revise the invasive program from the original plan. Hugh would also appear in the latter episode. The concept of Borg individuality is explored at length on Star Trek: Voyager with the character Seven of Nine.
- This episode establishes that Borg are designated by numbers, in relation to small groups (ie, Third of Five, Seven of Nine, etc.). Hugh's designation, "Third of Five," is different from other Borg names (such as Seven of Nine) in that he uses the ordinal ("third") rather than the cardinal number ("three").
- This episode marks another instance of Guinan using the term "scattered throughout the galaxy", in reference to her people. Other usages of the term were in the episodes "Q Who", and "The Best of Both Worlds".
- The Argolis Cluster was later visited by the Enterprise-D in "True Q" and the USS Defiant in DS9's season 6 episode "Behind the Lines".
Reception Edit
- Rick Berman praised writer René Echevarria and first-time TNG director Robert Lederman. "The minute I saw the story I fell in love with it. The dramatic relationships are so vivid. Guinan, who comes from a people who were destroyed by the Borg, Picard who was brutalized and violated by the Borg – both are put in the position of being prejudiced. Geordi and Dr. Crusher are in the position of being open-minded and eventually sympathetic to this young man and the end result is a wonderful series of relationships and wonderful scenes between Guinan and the Borg." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages)
- Jeri Taylor, who provided an uncredited polish on the script, commented that this episode meant that "we can never treat the Borg the same way again." (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion)
- Jonathan Del Arco remarked, "All I had to go on as an actor was one of the best scripts I'd ever read. It was so – you read the script and it comes to life – I heard the voice in my head… It holds up the chalice of that highest moral that I think Gene Roddenberry meant the show to do – question, question, question, every step of the way." (Mission Overview: Year Five, TNG Season 5 DVD special features)
- This episode was Michael Piller's favorite of the season. He called it "everything I want Star Trek to be". (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion)
- Piller stated, "I think it's just a great premise which forces both Guinan and Picard to confront their own prejudices. And you would think these are two characters who have none, but when it comes to the Borg the old issue is 'know your enemy.' It's a lot harder to hate them if you know them and it deals with the issue of what happens to these communal Borgs which cannot be treated as anything else but parts of the whole when one is separated and becomes an individual? I feel that if you take the unstoppable villain, the stereotype and you turn it inside out, that's great dramatic storytelling." (Captains' Logs: The Unauthorized Complete Trek Voyages)
- Piller noted that not all fans were as enthused with the episode. "There were some people who really felt that 'I Borg' betrayed the vision of the Borg because it humanized them more than they wanted to see. But I just think every time you can understand your enemy, those stories have a huge impact." (Mission Overview: Year Five, TNG Season 5 DVD special features)
- In about early 1999, Susanna Thompson cited this as her favorite episode of Star Trek. (Star Trek: Communicator issue 121, p. 17)
- Another person who was fond of this outing was J.M. Dillard. In her book Star Trek - Where No One Has Gone Before (paperback ed., p. 203), she characterized it as "moving."
- A mission report for this episode by John Sayers was published in The Official Star Trek: The Next Generation Magazine issue 21, pp. 49-51.

Maine Military Records
This entry was originally written by Alice Eichholz, Ph.D., CG for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
For service in wars before statehood, refer to Massachusetts'Military Records. However, a few printed sources have attempted to extract Maine soldiers from the Massachusetts holdings, notably Charles J. House, Names of Soldiers of the American Revolution who Applied for State Bounty...in Land Office (1893; reprint, Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1967); Charles A. Flagg, An Alphabetical Index of Revolutionary Pensioners Living in Maine (1920; reprint, Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1967); and Carleton and Sue Fisher, Soldiers, Sailors and Patriots of the Revolutionary War'Maine (Louisville: National Society of Sons of the American Revolution, 1982).
The adjutant general's holdings for Maine, which include militia on state service in wars, published yearly reports on Civil War soldiers. World War I and II reports are held at Maine State Archives. The Spanish-American War service records are also held at the state archives but are not published.
Maine State Archives has a card index of each Civil War soldier and grave records for Revolutionary, Civil War, and War of 1812 soldiers, as well as service records through World War I. In addition, there are listings of veterans by town of those who served in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam.
At Ancestry.com, subscribers can access Maine Military Men, 1917-1918 which provides the names of men who served in the army, navy, and marines during World War I and also includes a list of nurses.

Sioux Falls Police: Protecting Your Home [VIDEO]
According to the FBI, nearly 400,000 burglaries take place in the U.S. during the holiday season annually. Like the popular movie, "Home Alone," make every effort to make your home look lived in---even when you're not there!
Sioux Falls Police Information Officer Sam Clemens offers safety tips for your residence.
"Make sure windows and doors are locked, even if you're leaving your home for a brief period. If you're traveling, be sure to have someone collect your mail, consider an automatic timer for your lights, stop newspaper delivery, make sure someone shovels snow and keep a vehicle in the driveway if possible."

California Sushi Rolls
This tastes as good as any restaurant or store-bought California roll. Plus, it's one of the easiest sushi recipes to make! For best results, do use the sushi rice to ensure the right sticky consistency. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen
Total TimePrep: 1 hour + standing
Makes64 pieces
- 2 cups sushi rice, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
- 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
- Bamboo sushi mat
- 8 nori sheets
- 1 small cucumber, seeded and julienned
- 3 ounces imitation crabmeat, julienned
- 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and julienned
- Reduced-sodium soy sauce, prepared wasabi and pickled ginger slices, optional
- In a large saucepan, combine rice and water; let stand for 30 minutes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Remove from the heat. Let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine the vinegar, sugar and salt, stirring until sugar is dissolved.
- Transfer rice to a large shallow bowl; drizzle with vinegar mixture. With a wooden paddle or spoon, stir rice with a slicing motion to cool slightly. Cover with a damp cloth to keep moist. (Rice mixture may be made up to 2 hours ahead and stored at room temperature, covered with a damp towel. Do not refrigerate.)
- Sprinkle toasted and black sesame seeds onto a plate; set aside. Place sushi mat on a work surface so mat rolls away from you; line with plastic wrap. Place 3/4 cup rice on plastic. With moistened fingers, press rice into an 8-in. square. Top with one nori sheet.
- Arrange a small amount of cucumber, crab and avocado about 1-1/2 in. from bottom edge of nori sheet. Roll up rice mixture over filling, using the bamboo mat to lift and compress the mixture while rolling; remove plastic wrap as you roll.
- Remove mat; roll sushi rolls in sesame seeds. Cover with plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make eight rolls. Cut each into eight pieces. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi and ginger slices if desired.
Editor's NoteLook for nori sheets in the international foods section.

Very good. This method of cooking the rice is excellent. Janet VFE
Apr 13, 2014
This recipe is great! My hubby said it was better than store bought rolls.
Dec 2, 2012
I love this recipe!
Apr 23, 2012
First time making California Rolls. I didn't have a bamboo mat but used wax paper instead and it worked fine. I didn't have Sushi Rice but used Calrose Rice because it is a sticky rice. They turned out great but next time, I will peel my cucumbers and cut the ingredients just a bit thicker.I would recommend wetting the knife as you cut the rolls.Will make these again.

3. do you think that narumi and kiri will be together?
i think Kiri is Narumi's first love. but he hasnt worket it out yet. i dont think they suit each other, so wot get together although im glad we finally get to find out about the accident. _________________hello
Yeah I also think Kiri was his first crush
It's such a bummer that a good talent like her stops cutting hair, because of that :s it could happen to everyone ...
Hmm...I don't know but me the romance loving girl would like that ^^
it's really a cute manga. Hpnestly, I just dont like those puppy-love mangas, but this one is tottally different.The heroin is a fine character.
mmmm...i'm HEAD over HEELS over BEAUTY POP this is the manga that i ever love from this scanlate group
hehe i'm glad to hear that
::will work hard on the next chapter::
hmm... i don't think BP is really a 'romance' manga... so even though i think naru and kiri
suit each other (his hotheaded arrogance + her blasé coolness = CUTE XD), i doubt arai kyoko is going to get them into much of a romantic relationship. _________________Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
mmmm...i'm HEAD over HEELS over BEAUTY POP this is the manga that i ever love from this scanlate group
@moofii: we know you are XD
Yup, yup! I'm also totally for Kiri x Narumi! They are SO cute together! XD Well one can always hope~~ ^^ I wonder if Narumi will ever find out that Kiri was his first crush XD_________________Thanx to Joanne Kuang for the awesome avatar!

1. Kiri is Narumi's crush. Her face is the same as the one in Kiri's flash back.
2. Well from the latest chapter it seems that Kiri give up dreaming of becoming the best hair stylist becoz she accidentally cut her mom's ear and she is traumatic about it. Afraid it will happen again.
3. Possible.
Thank you moofii for Beauty Pop scanlations. Are you guys really are going to stop after Volume 4?
1. I am not sure if Kiri is Narumi's first crush. But it seems to be so
2. It is sad that she gives up her dream because of one accident, but I guess I can understand that. But it seems like circumstances and people around her are pushing her towards her dream again. I am glad ^___^
3. Hmm... I find Kiri and Narumi suitable for each other. As moofii says:
(his hotheaded arrogance + her blasé coolness = CUTE XD)
I am not sure if ARAI Kiyoko will pair them up... But, I do really really hope that they will be together ^____^
