Renewed Interest in Germans from Russia
Renewed Interest in Germans from Russia
With the fall of the Soviet Union, a great influx of people from Russia into Germany ensued, claiming citizenship on the basis of German descent. Many generations removed from the original German colonists of the late- eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries, they are perceived as culturally indistinguishable from Russians and are hardly welcomed as co-ethnics. They are descendants of widely scattered groups, once resident mainly in the Volga and Black Sea regions but now dispersed across Russian territories and in the world at large by force of economics and war.
Most of the studies on Germans from Russia focus on their difficult and ambiguous position during the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union, with the notable exception of Dietmar Neutatz, Die 'deutsche Frage' im Schwarzmeergebiet und in Wolhynien: Politik, Wirtschaft, Mentalitaeten und Alltag im Spannungsfeld von Nationalismus und Modernisierung (1856-1914) (1993) and Ingeborg Fleischhauer, Die Deutschen im Zarenreich: zwei Jahrhunderte deutsch-russische Kulturgemeinschaft (1986). This book by Doenninghaus is one of two he has published in 2002, the other being Die Deutschen in der Moskauer Gesellschaft: Symbiose und Konflikte (1494-1941). In this study of the Volga Germans, he has zoomed in on a very different social group, mainly peasants and workers, in a wider region and a much narrower period, mainly 1905-1917, which was a critical turning point in their history, when modernization, war, and revolution transformed their living conditions and consciousness. This focus enables him to dig deeply into the link between the economics and politics of Stolypin's agrarian reforms as experienced locally by the German colonists settled in the Volga region since the eighteenth century.
Doenninghaus' original research in the Russian State Historical Archive, the state archive of Saratov district and the former Russian Central Party Archive (now a state archive for social and political history), has resulted in a meticulous study of the change in property relations and their effects on the Volga Germans. Detailed tables provide exact numbers of the number, size and population count of farms that privatized out of communes in the German settlements. His central question for this laboriously accumulated data is: did the German colonists differ from their Russian counterparts in their reactions to the new policies and, if so, why and how?
Approximately half a million Germans lived in about two hundred colonies in the two main districts of Saratov and Samara on both sides of the Volga, descendants of colonists first invited by Russian Tsars to pioneer more modern techniques of farming. On the eve of the 1905 revolution they made up between seven and eight percent of the region, where they differed little from the Russian majority in practicing communal land ownership and suffering general land hunger in the face of a growing population, high taxes, poor harvests and a high burden of debt. The Russian nationalist press of the time wrongly resented their presumed greater prosperity, apparently mistaking the Volga with the Black Sea Germans, who did indeed do better than their surrounding Russian peasantry. When the revolution broke out, rather than fight for new rights as did Russian peasants, the Volga Germans, still seeing themselves as "guests" of Mother Russia and fearing to be branded disloyal, chose flight: to the cities, to Siberia, to the New World. Those who stayed remained conservative, loyal, and obedient to the authorities, from whom they passively awaited reforms. Few supported national autonomy; at most, they asked for local reforms and self-government in their settlements, a small step in broadening their political horizon.
Doenninghaus persuasively shows that what really began to turn the Volga Germans around politically was the Stolypin land reform of 1906, which allowed peasants to privatize their share of communal land. German agriculturalists were excluded from the land banks that were supposed to help in the transition, because they were deemed "settler-owners" rather than peasants and because of anti-German discrimination. As a result, few converted to private ownership until a new law allowed entire settlements to dissolve. The economically weakest farmers scattered, beginning a diasporic movement that heralded the eventual dissolution of German ethnic homogeneity, so carefully nurtured by its clergy in the past. Those remaining resisted privatization less fiercely than the Russian peasants who refused surveyors and engaged in mini-civil wars between seceders and mir-ists. Soldiers' wives especially opposed seceders breaking up communes, as they could hardly manage a farm alone (p. 209).
Doenninghaus emphasizes that the emigrations of this period reflect mainly economic motives and not draft dodging, an accusation sometimes made even by fellow-ethnics who then had to supply larger numbers of able-bodied villagers to the army. An estimated 50,000 Russian Germans served in World War I (p. 185), although mainly on the Turkish rather than German front, as their loyalty remained suspect (p. 226). As the war dragged on, discrimination increased and, as in the United States, the German language was prohibited in speech and writing. Finally, German landed property was decreed for liquidation, and even the obedient Volga Germans reached the end of their rope. Enthusiastically, they welcomed the February revolution of 1917.
This meticulously researched study does much for our understanding of the widely known but little understood Volga Germans. The afore-mentioned interest in the posture of Russian Germans in World War II has called more attention to the Black Sea Germans and their complicated relationship to the invading Nazi armies. One could, however, have hoped for a bit more on the politics of the urbanized, partly proletarianized Volga Germans. It would have been instructive to see the contrast between the Volga and Black Sea Germans, some of whom eventually fought alongside the Whites. For example, the industrial flour miller, Friedrich P. Schmidt, who Doenninghaus says was suspected of aiding the Germans with food exports, is claimed by a source close to events also to have headed the Saratow stock market and, in 1917, the local revolutionary Central Committee.[1] However, that is a quibble. This is a very fine contribution to the field.

NEW YORK — The basket was shaking and Tyson Chandler was screaming, definitely toward though maybe not at the voices he recognized near the Dallas bench.
His more important words came long before that dunk that helped the Knicks put away the Mavericks.
Chandler told his teammates at halftime not to let their perfect record get ruined, and they responded with a 104-94 victory Friday night to improve their best start in nearly two decades to 4-0.
"Tyson's always vocal. In the locker room he was very vocal, just about not letting this one slip away from us," said Carmelo Anthony, who led the Knicks with 31 points.
"We got up to play in that third quarter, second half, got up defensively, denied the passing lanes and we played our defense that we've been playing for the last week."
Reserve JR Smith added 22 points for the Knicks, the only unbeaten team in the NBA. They hadn't been perfect after four games since the 1993-94 team started 7-0 en route to the NBA Finals.
The Knicks averaged 104.7 points and allowed just 85.3 per game while routing Miami and sweeping a home-and-home series from Philadelphia to start the season, but didn't seize control of this one for good until nearly the midpoint of the fourth quarter.
O.J. Mayo scored 23 points for the Mavericks, who had their three-game winning streak snapped and lost to the Knicks for just the fourth time in the last 22 meetings.
Playing without injured starters Dirk Nowitzki and Shawn Marion, the Mavericks had shot 60 percent in consecutive games for the first time in franchise history and were averaging 116.3 points on 56.2 percent shooting during their win streak.
But they managed only two more field goals after Mayo's layup cut the Knicks' lead to 90-86 with 7:32 remaining. New York scored the next eight points, five from Anthony, to pull away.
"New York's a veteran team and if you give them more possessions and you give them possessions on catastrophic turnovers, they're going to convert them into points," Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said. "They're a very good team. In my opinion they're one of the handful of teams that has a chance to come out of the East."
In the first meeting since Jason Kidd left Dallas to sign with New York, he played only 16 minutes as the Knicks went with Smith, who got hot in the third quarter while they opened an 84-78 lead.
Kidd seemed on the verge of returning to the Mavs in July before signing with the Knicks. Dallas owner Mark Cuban was angry, believing Kidd backed out of a deal, and said before the game he was done talking about the point guard.
With Kidd joining Chandler, the Knicks have two starters from the Mavs' 2011 NBA championship team, a club the aging Knicks mentioned often during the preseason as a team that showed older groups could win.
Chandler provided the game's first double-digit lead at 96-86 with a ferocious follow dunk and free throw after being fouled, screaming in the direction of the Dallas bench after the basket.
Chandler said he's disappointed the Mavs didn't re-sign him and others from the title team, never taking a shot at defending their crown. But he thinks the Knicks might be building something similar now.
"Definitely reminds me of the chemistry, personalities, personnel that we had," he said. "We were just really deep on that team. We hit teams with waves and teams couldn't really catch up with it, our first and second unit. It's the same thing here. We have great depth and that has to be our weapon."
The Knicks finished with eight 3-pointers after making an NBA-record 43 in its first three games.
"They're playing hard and they're getting wins," said Mavericks forward Elton Brand, back after missing a game following the birth of a child. "4-0, that's a good start for any team."
Anthony scored 10 points in the first quarter as the Knicks took a 25-23 lead. Mayo opened the second with consecutive 3-pointers, and seven straight points by Vince Carter later in the period gave Dallas a 41-32 lead. The Mavericks were ahead 57-55 at the break.
Notes: Marcus Camby made his season debut after sitting out the first three games while getting back in shape. He missed most of the preseason with a strained calf. The center became the fourth-oldest player in Knicks history at 38 years, 7 months, 18 days — with two of the older ones coming this season. Herb Williams, now a Knicks assistant, was 41, 2 months and 16 days in his final appearance. Kurt Thomas is 40 and Jason Kidd is 39. Rasheed Wallace (38-1-23) rounds out the top five. ... For their heroic actions during Superstorm Sandy, the Knicks honored Jon Candelaria of New York, and Dr. Pradeep Mally, Gail Geraghty and Erica Chong of NYU Langone Medical Center with this month's Sweetwater Clifton "City Spirit" award, named for the team's first African-American player and recognizing those who have made a difference in the lives of others. Candelaria rescued a driver who was stuck in a stalled taxi that was nearly submerged by water, while the hospital employees carried infants to safety after the facility lost power. Also, an MSG Network and Garden of Dreams foundation fundraiser raised nearly $200,000 for storm aid. ... Both teams wore special blue shooting shirts with red and white and stars surrounding the NBA logo as the league celebrates Veterans Day this weekend.
Carmelo, Knicks beat Mavs, improve to 4-0

Brewdog Brewery
Back in 2007 two young Scots, bored senseless of the current selection of lagers and ales dominating the market, managed to get themselves a loan in order to rent a building where they could brew small batches to sell at local markets. Armed with a bit of cash to pair their passion of being the next big thing in brewing, Brewdog was born. They set out to convince the world that craft beer is worth getting excited about, a dream they keep firmly by theirs sides today.
Just 8 years later, Brewdog now employs over 500 people who work in their new state of the art brewery or in one of 44 bars and restaurants across the world. They have been awarding the fastest growing company in the UK food and drink industry, have 32,000 shareholders, and even have their own American TV series.
But enough about the company. Brewdog are more than capable of letting its creations speak for themselves. Punk IPA, Jack Hammer, Dead Pony Club, just to name a few, have become a core range with a fierce reputation any brewery would be jealous of. Available in supermarkets and pubs across the country, almost everyone out for a drink is influenced by Brewdog. They have produced a range of world's strongest beers competing against German brewery Schorschbrau. Starting with Tactical Nuclear Penguin, brewed at 32%, brewing Sink the Bismarck at 41% and finishing with The End of History 55%, which was bottled creatively using squirrels and taxidermy, we will let you picture that for a moment.
The range of beer styles is ever growing, confronting the fairly new ground of alcohol free with Nanny State and the gluten free Vagabond Pale Ale with apparent ease. In addition, brewing the world's strongest canned beer Black Eyed King Imp Vietnamese Coffee Edition is just another world record Brewdog have under their belt at 12%. Brewing more specials than we can keep track of means that we will always have a large variety of Brewdog products here at Beers of Europe and a deep respect for their art, passion and their beers. The future is certainly Brewdog's, and we can't wait to see what they come up with next.

Katie McQuaid's Scene in Manchester: Sing (even badly) for a truly great causeBY KATIE McQUAID
May 18. 2014 8:56PM
I like karaoke singers with amazing voices, but I love karaoke singers with horrible voices and a lot of confidence.
One judge of an upcoming city karaoke competition agrees with me.
"Confidence is key," said Pubali Campbell, owner of Bikram Yoga Manchester. "Talent has a time and place but it's the willingness to challenge yourself that impresses me the most."
It sounds like Emilia Belouin may be a shoo–in at the June 6 Sing for a Cause – a Karaoke Experience to End Homelessness. The fundraiser at Milly's Tavern will to benefit The Way Home.
"Do I have a good voice? Nope," said Belouin, who has worked as a volunteer and staff member of the non-profit since 1992.
But the 60-year-old said she loves to sing, old country songs in particular, and she makes sure to dress the part in her "finest long skirt and, you know, bling."
And confidence? She exudes it (at least over the phone) and even teaches a self-esteem class for The Way Home called "Finding the Winner Within." Who can compete with that?
The Way Home's competitive karaoke singing competition begins at 9 p.m. that Friday, and includes appetizers, a cash bar and silent auction.
Belouin, who will probably sing something by Patsy Cline or Loretta Lynn, said she hopes the event will help raise money for some of The Way Home's programs she works on, including the pick-up and delivery of donated furniture and apartment inspections.
In addition to Campbell, judges include Executive Councilor Chris Pappas and Todd Griffin with Stark Brewing Co. If you have what it takes to belt it out alongside Belouin, you can sign up ahead of time by contacting Rhonda Kenny at 218-1424 or email@example.com. Registration will also be available at the event. Tickets are $15.
The Way Home is a non-profit dedicated to helping low-income households obtain and sustain safe, affordable housing throughout New Hampshire. Since 1988, the organization has assisted more than 20,000 homeless and high risk families, individuals, veterans and special needs clients with their housing needs.
Fresh fish
The NH Community Seafood group will begin delivering fresh, New Hampshire-caught fish to Manchester every Thursday, beginning June 12.
This is the second year of the organization's Community Supporter Fishery (CSF) program, which brings members healthy, local protein fish while supporting our state's fishermen.
Manchester residents who sign up for the program can pick up their fish between 3 and 6 p.m. at Brookside Church on Elm Street. The location will change to Victory Park once the city's Farmer Market opens for the season.
Another benefit to CSF, which my family participated in last year, is having the opportunity to try species of fish you cannot find in your average grocery store. And it all comes fileted and ready to cook with recipe suggestions.
I guess my family wasn't the only one that enjoyed the program in its inaugural year. After such a successful 2013, Sarah VanHorn, Josh Wiersma and the rest of the CSF organizers have decided to expand to nine delivery locations across the state.
To see a full list of delivery locations, learn more, and purchase your share of fresh fish, visit www.nhcommunityseafood.com.
Garden party time
It is hard to miss The Moore Center's annual Garden Party. This enticing springtime soiree takes place under a huge, white tent on the front lawn of Brady Sullivan tower, right where Elm Street and the Amoskeag Bridge meet.
This year's event on Thursday, June 19, is raising money specifically for the Moore Center's autism services. Attendees will also be there to honor Raymond Cote, a long-time Manchester resident, philanthropist and former president of Harvey Construction.
Cote worked for Harvey Construction for 30 years and has been actively involved in the community with numerous organizations, including New Horizons of NH soup kitchen, Easter Seals Veterans Count and the Bishops Annual Fund. Cote was named Citizen of the Year by the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce in 1992, and is retired from the New Hampshire National Guard.
I attended my first Garden Party last year, as a guest of Ruth Ansell, who died of brain cancer last month. Ruth was a Bedford trust and estate lawyer who helped me find my footing as an advisor to the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. She was known for her philanthropic endeavors, including sponsorship of the Garden Party. I am sure this is one of many annual social events where Ruth's absence will be felt.
The Garden Party is from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $75 each, and can be purchased by calling 206-2722.
Don't miss the parade
Next Monday is Memorial Day, and the city's annual parade will head down Elm Street on Monday, May 26, at 2 p.m.
The parade, featuring various veteran groups and the marching bands of each Manchester senior and junior high school, will culminate with a ceremony at Veteran's Park at around 3 p.m.
Parade organizer Mike Lopez said all veterans will be honored at this year's parade, with a specific focus on Vietnam veterans to commemorate the 50th anniversary of that war. Bill Whitmore, commander of Sweeney Post and a veteran, is expected to talk about Vietnam.
Dignitaries including Mayor Ted Gatsas, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, and Rep. Carol Shea-Porter will attend, Lopez said.
NH365.ORG event of the week
The New Hampshire Philharmonic has planned a powerful, live performance for Memorial Day weekend. Into the Light, starting at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Palace Theatre, will feature bold and beautiful music to honor our women and men in uniform and those who died in our nation's service.
Music pieces will include "America the Beautiful," Handel "Water Music", the "Armed Services Medley," and more.
Tickets are $12 to $50. For more information on this, and other Memorial Day events visit www.NH365.org.

In all the hubbub surrounding Lindsay Lohan's interview with Oprah, you may have missed the fact that Lohan relaunched her personal website last week.
And part of the new site — and of Lohan's apparent overall rebranding — is a "style" section, curated by "Team Lohan" and featuring photos of the star over the years in various slideshows (ie. "Hollywood Glamour") and trend roundups ("#trending: Summer Blues").
RELATED PHOTOS: Vote on more star style in Last Night's Look!
Since Lohan has been, shall we say, a little off her style game lately, many of the photos date from the mid-aughts (actual quote: "Purple had a good year in 2008") and while we still fondly remember many of Lohan's best-ever outfits, the site rehashes a few we'd prefer to forget.
The site is still young and Lohan is just freshly out of rehab, so of course the style section has endless potential. But at the moment, we're treading with care. Tell us: Will you take style advice from "Team Lohan" on her new site?

On day of vigil, Abigail's father appearsBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
November 04. 2013 2:44PM
CONWAY – Abigail Hernandez' father has appeared on Facebook, the medium that friends and law enforcement said his daughter used so heavily before her disappearance, and he posted a letter to his daughter, asking her to somehow try and make contact with her family.
Abigail's mother, Zenya Hernandez, confirmed that her husband, Ruben Hernandez, was the one who posted the letter and is the likely owner of the Facebook page with his name, which features numerous photos of Abigail and her sister, Sarah, when they were children.
"We don't know if you ran away but if you did, it's important for you to know Sweetheart that nobody is angry with you, and you are not and will not be in any trouble. I just need to know that you are OK," he wrote in the letter.
According to Facebook, Ruben Hernandez joined the social media site Oct. 11, though the pictures posted in his timeline all were posted on Sunday as he took part in the online vigil for his daughter Sunday night.
Ruben Hernandez has not returned messages asking for comment. But his wife confirmed that to the best of her knowledge, he posted the message.
"That was his writing, those are his pictures," Zenya Hernandez said.
Zenya Hernandez confirmed that her husband has two homes, one in the Conway area. When asked where his second home is and the status of their relationship, Zenya said, "I can't talk about that part."
On the page, Ruben Hernandez lists three friends, one of whom is from Houston, Texas, one who lists a Massachusetts high school on her page, and one man who does not give a home location on his Facebook page.
FBI Agent Kieran Ramsey said law enforcement paid close attention to the online vigil and took note of Ruben Hernandez's post.
"I can't confirm that it was him, but we are aware of the post," he said.
Ramsey would not comment on the relationship between Abigail's parents or Ruben Hernandez's whereabouts.
"All I will say is what we've said before, we've interviewed all the family members and they have been cooperative," he said.

TomTom Start 20 satnav
Travelling light
Presentation skills
The menu system – co-opted from the Go Live series – is clear, logical and very well organised. On-screen information is beautifully presented and the map designs are just about the best you can get. There is also full text-to-speech support for road names.
Happily, this is the first TomTom I've come across that doesn't read out road numbers in full, so the A666 – the Bypass of the Beast – is given as the A-six-sixty-six rather than A-six-hundred-and-sixty-six. Fewer words is a good thing when it comes to giving directions.
Lane guidance
As I've said before IQ Routes is the best journey planning system there is, because it calculates your route with one beady eye fixed on historic traffic flow for the time and date of your trip. But with TomTom now licensing the system to, amongst others, Mio it's no longer a unique selling point.
Route options
Compared to previous Start-series devices, TomTom has added two million extra kilometres of roads to its maps. Presumably, that's across Europe not just the UK and Ireland. Enhanced graphics show built-up areas, water features and forests more clearly too.

Revision as of 05:04, 5 November 2012
Netbeans is an integrated development environment (IDE) for developing with Java, JavaScript, PHP, Python, Ruby, Groovy, C, C++, Scala, Clojure, and other languages.
From Wikipedia article:
- "The NetBeans IDE is written in Java and can run anywhere a compatible JVM is installed, including Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and Solaris. A JDK is required for Java development functionality, but is not required for development in other programming languages."
- 1 Tips and tricks
- 2 Troubleshooting
Tips and tricks
/usr/share/netbeans/etc/netbeans.conf will be overwritten during updates. To keep changes add them to your local netbeans.conf
~/.netbeans/<ver>/etc/netbeans.conf (you will need to create the etc dir and the .conf file).
- Settings in local version of netbeans.conf override the same settings in the global copy of the file.
- Command-line options override settings in either of the configuration files.
Font antialiasing in Netbeans
Netbeans Specifically
-J-Dswing.aatext=TRUE -J-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on to the 'netbeans_default_options' line of your netbeans.conf file.
Java Generally
See Java#Better font rendering .
GTK look and feel
To change Netbeans look and feel to GTK add switch
--laf com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel to IDE command line by appending it to 'netbeans_default_options' section of
/usr/share/netbeans/etc/netbeans.conf or editing .desktop file with which you launch Netbeans.
OpenJDK vs Sun's JDK
Netbeans 7.0-1 will not ALWAYS work with OpenJDK. Some reported issues are:
- Starting - In some cases, netbeans will not start.
- Installation - The .sh script provided by netbeans will not launch wizard (any proofs?).
- JavaFX module does not work (see FS#29843).
Glassfish server - Can`t download Glassfish server I/O Exception
If you are trying add new Glassfish server, you can`t download the server. Netbeans returns
I/O Exception: http://java.net/download/glassgish/3.0.1/release/glassfish-3.0.1-ml.zip
Solution is:
- Download GlassFish Server Open Source Edition manualy from official site, actual link is http://download.java.net/glassfish/3.0.1/release/glassfish-3.0.1-ml.zip
- Extract from zip to any location
Netbeans doesn't start after its first start
If you receive a message like this when executing from terminal:
# netbeans -h
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/i386/libsplashscreen.so: libgif.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
You have two options:
- You can start Netbeans using the --nosplash option:
# netbeans --nosplash
- Or, install the missing library (libungif), then starting Netbeans as usual will work.
Netbeans starts with a completely grey window
See Java#Impersonate Another Window Manager
This may not be quite 100% out of date; the problem occurred while using NetBeans 7.2, OpenJDK 7.u7_2.3.2-2, "$ java -version" reporting 1.7.0_07. The following is robbed from Awesome's wiki (although I experienced the problem using Xmonad), which fixed my all-grey window problem:
$ _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1; export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING

i'm wondering if this is the answer to all the after market riddles. after market axles suck really bad. what if they do something similar and it works %70 of the time...or something like that. they probably get much worse axle cores to deal with too, wayne probably took care of his in a timely fashion.

By watching your posts, and references to "Cults". I come away with the eeling that you are nit understanding the open nature of the XO. It is very easy to make XO's boot something other then Sugar. Sugar and Linux are both open source so if peopel weren't happy with it they are more then welcome to submit changes. I think using your very polarized examples of "cult" vs "benovolent", Microsoft would fall closer to the "cult" side as they do not allow input, their source is a arcane secret help by a select few, etc.
Sugar is now it's own project over at sugarlabs.org. I'm sure they would be pleased to explain the thinking behind the interface. I certainly see several featues in the Sugar interface that I wouldn't mind seeing coming into the "main stream" desktops. The zooming paradigm, the journal and the integrated collaboration are great ideas. The "view source" funtion (especially once it is more universally implimented) is one of the best ideas I've seen and another one that would be nice to see come to "mainstream" desktops.
I've also become a little unclear as this thread has evolved as to what your concern is. Is sugar better from an educational standpoint? My feeling aster using it for a several weeks now is "Yes". I am finding the the Jorunal does create reflective mood (more then once I've looked at it and had a much clearer idea of how I have been spending my time on the computer. (often "eeesshh! thats a lot of Browse" ). I however am not an education professional. Sugar is also not a static construct and I sure it will evolve as most open source projects do.

Tell all of your little friends: "Scarface School Play" is about as authentic as Al Pacino's Cuban accent.
The viral video that pinged across the internet on Monday seemed to show grade-school kids performing a wildly inappropriate adaptation of "Scarface," Brian DePalma's operatic 1983 crime classic but, of course, if you looked closely it seemed a little too polished and cryptic to be a real campus production.
The video was actually made a month ago with professional child actors in a rented theater in Koreatotwn and directed by Marc Klasfeld, a veteran music video director whose credits include "Girls, Girls, Girls" with Jay-Z, "Times Like These" with the Foo Fighters, "When You're Gone" with Avril Lavigne, "Girlfriend" with 'N Sync and "On My Block" by, ahem, Scarface.
Klasfeld has also made commercials for corporate powers such as Nike, the NFL and Motorola, but he showed a more subversive streak with his 2007 satire film "The L.A. Riot Spectacular," narrated by Snoop Dogg. On Wednesday, Klasfeld said these days he's smitten with the wildfire immediacy of viral video, which will only deepen after the million-hit Monday for "Scarface School Play."
"It's a rare place where you can be creative and express yourself freely and it's a very democratic process and I'm very excited to part of it," said Klasfeld, who is the owner of Rock Hard Films, the company behind the Lady GaGa video "Pokerface" and last year's memorably loopy "Hammer Pants Dance" viral video. "It was a lot of fun."
With the quirky homage to "Scarface," Klasfeld said "we had a great cast, great kids and great parents … they enjoyed the process." The director said it was amusing to watch the pockets of outrage as the purposely provocative video spread out across the Internet.
"We definitely suspected that would happen," said Klasfeld, a father of two who says he wonders why the most vocal critics of the ironic video don't speak out more against the sexualization of young girls in American culture or the relentless violence on screens of all sorts.
"Everyday when I wake up with my daughter and I turn on the television for her and we're constantly guarding her against all these unnecessary sexual [messages] bombarding her … so for us to see the reaction against this, well, that was a little shocking," Klasfeld said. "I found it all fascinating."
What's next? Klasfeld said he's going to sit back and enjoy the parodies, mash-ups and imitations of "Scarface School Play" that have already begun. Despite the success of his viral video he quickly dismissed the idea of making a sequel like, say, "Taxi Driver School Play" or "Leaving Las Vegas Schoolplay." "No, I don't see that happening."
It makes sense — where would the shock be in that?

U.S. equity indexes rose this morning, following the biggest drop in two months for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. The S&P 500 fell 1.3% yesterday, the most since November. Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. report later this week. U.S. retail sales increased 0.2% after a 0.4% advance in November that was smaller than previously reported.
Equities: The MAR14 E-mini S&P 500 (CME:ESH14) is up 8 points to 1823, after sliding yesterday down below 1810. We detect key resistance levels at 1826 and then 1830. Our key market profile support level is 1816. The next Fed meeting is Jan. 28-29, and we believe this will serve as a rally-capping influence on equity markets. If the Fed executes another taper this month, we believe the S&P 500 will work on a correction, and possibly approach 1800. If the Fed surprises markets and "pauses" (does not taper), we believe the markets will be very excited about that and potentially stage a big rally. We believe it will be fairly range-bound trading until the end of this month.
Bonds: The MAR14 U.S. 30-year bonds (CBOT:ZBH14) are down 5 ticks to 130'30. We detect resistance at the high 131s. We find it hard to believe that the bonds could stage a major rally in the face of a 2014 tapering cycle, but crazier things have happened. We believe the bond market anxiously awaits this month's FOMC meeting to see whether or not the tapering pledge is executed. Furthermore, there is always the next jobs report to look forward to, and if we see big upside revisions to the recent 74K, the bonds could experience another round of selling.
Currencies: The MAR14 Canadian dollar (CME:D6H14) has been very weak, and today is down 63 ticks to 91.31. We would not be surprised to see the Canadian approach the 90 level, although that still seems like a pretty big move for the Canadian dollar. This move is likely occurring because of the market's perception that interest rates may need to be lowered in Canada to stimulate the economy. The MAR14 Yen (CME:J6H14) rallied nicely yesterday, but is retracing today, down 69 ticks to 96.50. We believe if the yen approaches 96, we could see some strong buying. The FOMC meeting could be a big impact day for the FX markets on 1/28-29.
Commodities: FEB14 gold (COMEX:GCG14) is down $8 to $1,242 after trying to sustain a rally above $1,250. FEB14 WTI (NYMEX:CLG14) has retraced downward some of the early morning rally, now trading up just $.28 to $92.08. Again, we believe WTI is headed below $90. The heating oil spreads we introduced yesterday as a point of focus are up again today, with the FEB-APR2014 spread almost hitting our key resistance level of 440. We believe this rally in the spreads is because of the cold weather, and the rally in deferred month spreads may dissipate soon. MAR14 sugar (NYBOT:SBH14) has not found strong buying interest yet, as it's trading down today to $.1545. We would not be shocked to see sugar head lower.

During your stay, you will meet a number of individuals who will be
involved in your care. Your physician will lead your health care team
in the creation of your plan of care and will involve the appropriate
caretakers to ensure that we are able to provide you with the best
clinical care possible. Here are some of the care providers you may

times during your hospitalization. Your nurse will work hand in hand
with your physician to coordinate your care. If you should have any
questions about your plan of care, or any other aspect of your
hospitalization, your nurse will either provide the answer or will find
the answer for you.

hospitalized patients. Our hospitalists are board certified in internal
medicine. They see hospitalized patients who have been referred by
primary care doctors, emergency room doctors or other physicians at the

There are a number of reasons a hospitalist may coordinate your care
during your stay. For example, your primary care physician may request
that a hospitalist be responsible for your care while you are here if he
or she is unavailable to do so. The hospitalist will coordinate your
care and oversee the health care team taking care of you while at Northwest Hospital.
One of the important aspects of your care is ensuring the continuation
of your treatment plan following your discharge from the hospital.
Representatives of our Case Management department are here to assist you
in finding the equipment or services you may need. In addition to this function, our social workers assist in addressing the emotional
needs of our patients and families in times of crisis. If you feel a

practitioner, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, registered
dietitian, radiology technicians and many others. If you are unsure of
an individual's role in your care, or have a question related to a test
or procedure being performed, please do not hesitate to ask.

The Department of Defense manages a huge library of photographs and other media that has been declassified. But accessing that information, some of which dates back to World War II, isn't easy to do. That will change within the next five years as T3Media uses its enterprise-scale video management platform to bring the entire library online.
"By leveraging T3Media's enterprise-scale video management platform and T3 Library Manager product, we're able to open up the DOD archive for a wider range of uses and focus on our mission — to serve as the official DOD visual information records center," said Michael Edrington, director of the Defense Imagery Management Operations Center.
DIMOC integrates and synchronizes DOD imagery and centrally manages its visual information media in support of the department and the National Archives and Records Administration.
The DOD library comprises over a million photos, videos, audio logs and documents. The variety of media ranges from wartime footage and photographs of personnel and military equipment to World War II audio communications and instructional military videos.
According to the original statement of objective, the government's physical media holdings include:
The plan is to allow authorized users within government to be able to access the archives for free, with all the data safely stored in the cloud. Outside users, such as those working with production companies, will be able to license the footage stored there, providing revenue back to the government.
"Under this partnership, designated users within various government departments will be able to login to their T3 Library Manager accounts and search and download current and historic DOD multimedia with just a few clicks," said Frank Cardello, general manager, platform services at T3Media. "In addition to providing the government with enhanced access to the archive, we are looking forward to sharing DOD videos, photographs, and audio with the global production community."

In 1860, William Hake and his wife Emmaline left their home in Superior, Wisconsin to start a new life in Colorado. Hake settled in the Coal Creek Valley, where he planned to make a living selling agricultural goods to the gold miners in the Boulder foothills. Just four years later, Hake discovered a vein of coal in the creek that ran through his land, but he continued to farm for another thirty years before deciding to mine the coal. Hake began to advertise the area for its coal mines as well as a great place to live. Although the town was likely named after Hake's hometown, it was also used as a slogan for the town's precious coal: "having no superior in the state."
The town of Superior itself was founded in 1896 and incorporated in 1904. It was largely populated with coal miners and their families. Superior's highlights included a boarding house, saloons, and a general store.
Hake's mine, called the Industrial, produced more than four million tons of coal before finally closing in 1945. With the exodus of coal mining in the area, the town dwindled and changed into a rural farming community until the 1980s when the town experienced rapid residential growth.

After 15 years without unveiling a new rotorcraft, it only took around three months for MD Helicopters to pull together its latest offering—the 540F. An upgrade to the 530F, the new model will feature a Rolls-Royce engine, avionics from Elbit Systems and a six-blade rotor system. The company plans to enter the 540F into the U.S. Army's Armed Aerial Scout (AAS) competition, in addition to getting interest from international operators through the DoD's Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program.
"This is really development at mach speed," said CEO Lynn Tilton. "Three months ago, we went over to team up with Elbit Systems on flight display systems and new weapons systems. Together in three months, we were able to bring this new aircraft to life." Tilton added that, "yes, it does fly. It is not a model, it is not a mock-up, and we hope that certification will occur in the first quarter of 2013." She remarked that the MD540F represents the first new aircraft the Mesa, Ariz.-based company has launched since Patriarch Partners purchased MD in July 2005. Tilton is the sole principal and CEO of Patriarch, a private equity firm. She noted a recent U.S. military contract for six helicopters deployed in Afghanistan as a major milestone.
"We were able to come together," Tilton said, "to serve a customer that means the world to us. We have long thought about bringing a more powerful scout helicopter to the market, and our success with the Army and the excitement of working together was the inspiration for the birth of this new aircraft." Tilton described the 540F as a "lethal fighting machine."
Carl Schopfer, chief operating officer, said that there are "many countries that could use this aircraft, for a couple reasons—not only is it extremely capable, but it's also going to be very affordable for the rest of the world and the U.S. Army." Schopfer described some of the features of the 540F. "We've added heavy weight landing gear to take us to over 4,000 lbs max takeoff gross weight," he said. MD integrated the Elbit system "just about 60 days ago," he explained during Quad-A in early April, with test flights taking place in the previous 30 days. "We're on a schedule to get it back up and flying within 45 days, following some basic aircraft work, and some integration work with Elbit." In addition to cockpit avionics, Elbit will provide a weapons management system with a helmet display and tracking system (HDTS), and a FLIR camera. The MD540F will also feature a health and usage monitoring system (HUMS). Plans call for the Rolls-Royce Model M250-C30HU to power the helicopter, but that could change to another model as development progresses. "We could keep the C30HU, or we could switch to a C47 base, which already has the FADEC in it," he noted.
MD is aiming to have "everything done" by this summer. "We think the AAS requirement is in the September timeframe," Schopfer said. "That's based on what [the Army] said, they expect to release an RFI (request for information) sometime in late May or early June, and they expect to see flight in three months [after that].

Law Office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC Announces Investigation of Outdoor Channel Holdings, Inc.
By: PR Newswire
Nov. 19, 2012 09:35 PM
BALA CYNWYD, Pa., Nov. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC announces that it is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Outdoor Channel Holdings, Inc. ("Outdoor Channel" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: OUTD) relating to the proposed acquisition by InterMedia Outdoor Holdings, Inc ("InterMedia").
Under the terms of the transaction, Outdoor Channel shareholders will receive only $8.00 in cash or one share of stock in InterMedia, a privately held company, for each share of Outdoor Channel stock they own. The investigation concerns possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Outdoor Channel for not acting in the Company's shareholders' best interests in connection with the sale process to Parthenon. The transaction may undervalue the Company and will not result in a substantial gain and may even cause a loss for many Outdoor Channel shareholders. For example Outdoor Channel stock traded at $8.45 on February 10, 2011 and $7.85 as recently as March 23, 2012. In addition, an analyst has placed a $9.00 per share price target on Outdoor Channel stock.
If you own shares of Outdoor Channel stock and wish to discuss the legal ramifications of the proposed transaction, or have any questions, you may e-mail or call the law office of Brodsky & Smith, LLC who will, without obligation or cost to you, attempt to answer your questions. You may contact Jason L. Brodsky, Esquire or Evan J. Smith, Esquire at Brodsky & Smith, LLC, Two Bala Plaza, Suite 602, Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004, by e-mail at email@example.com visiting http://brodsky-smith.com/508-outd-outdoor-channel-holdings-inc.html, by calling toll free 877-LEGAL-90.

Grant provides new bus for Greenville senior citizensBy NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent
July 21. 2013 5:50PM
GREENVILLE — The town's senior citizens now have a new mode of transportation thanks to a grant from the New Hampshire Department of Transportation.
In August, residents of Greenville Falls Senior Housing and other citizens served by the community will benefit from a new $50,000 bus that will offer both a fixed route and rides on-demand, according to Phil Grandmaison of Southern New Hampshire Services.
The new bus, which accommodates eight passengers and two wheelchairs, will replace an older bus, according to Linda Smith of Southern New Hampshire Services.
"We're really looking forward to it," Smith said. "A lot of people are counting on this bus."
Currently there is one staff member and three local volunteers driving the old bus, picking up passengers at their homes and taking them to doctor's appointments, allowing them to do their grocery shopping and banking, even bringing them to recreational activities.
"Greenville is so far from everything that people really need help getting where they need to go," said Smith. "Just to pick up a prescription or make a bank run is a long trip, so we're busy."
Smith estimates there are more than 50 people from Greenville who use the bus each week, and the bus also serves some folks in surrounding communities, including Milford.
The passengers pay a small fee for the transportation services, said Smith.

There's never been a shortage of books on our third president and the author of the Declaration of Independence. Abraham Lincoln might be more Hollywood-friendly, but it's the complicated, contradictory figure of Thomas Jefferson who's offering a literary lesson this fall.
Two new, widely hailed biographies — Jon Meacham's "Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power" (Random House, $35) and Henry Wiencek's "Master of the Mountain: Thomas Jefferson and His Slaves" (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, $28) — remind us afresh how historians must take vastly disparate approaches to political biography, especially when the subject has been picked over like a Thanksgiving turkey.
Everyone is the sum of a million stories. The secret is figuring out which one to tell.
"The challenge for any book like this is to present the subject in a revealing light," Meacham said during an interview earlier this year at Book Expo America in New York. "My strong sense has been that Jefferson has been seen, particularly in the last 20 years, as this kind of airy philosopher. What I wanted was to figure out what he'd be like when he was doing what he did, which was hold office."
"The Art of Power" is a one-volume life story concerned chiefly with how Jefferson accumulated and exercised political capital. Meacham, who won a Pulitzer for 2008's "American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House," takes a time-tested approach to the consummate statesman who valued the success of the young country above all else. The book presents a life in full, explored through a specific conceptual prism (in this case, power). "The Art of Power" is an excellent biography — expansive, smart and accessible.
Where Meacham paints on a broad canvas, Henry Wiencek homes in on an angle that announces itself in the title of his book, which came out last month. With meticulous research, much of it previously unpublished, and concise prose, Wiencek calls into question the popular notion of Jefferson as a benevolent slave owner unable to get out from under the Peculiar Institution. (It should be noted that Meacham, though effusive in his praise of Jefferson, also hits him pretty hard on the slavery issue.)
"This is an aspect of Jefferson that has not been picked over," Wiencek said during an interview at the Texas Book Festival in Austin last month.
Wiencek observed that another recent high-profile book looked at Jefferson's slave and lover Sally Hemings: the Pulitzer-winning "The Hemingses of Monticello" by Annette Gordon Reed, published in 2009. "But if someone came to you and said, 'Well, how were the slaves treated at Monticello?' there's no book that really answers that question," he says. "I think I illuminated that."
Anyone who writes about a Founding Father or any other towering figure faces some key questions. What can you add to the conversation that hasn't already been said? How do you speak to the novice and the expert in the same voice?
For starters, you find and tell a great story. When Doris Kearns Goodwin started working on 2005's "Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln," she knew there had already been thousands of Lincoln books published.
But she was also practiced at bringing a new twist to old subjects. She won a Pulitzer for 1994's "No Ordinary Time," which looks at Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt during World War II. She considered doing something similar with Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln, but then realized Lincoln spent more time with his Cabinet than his wife. Her solution: write about his time with his Cabinet. The book became the source of the new Steven Spielberg movie "Lincoln."
"The problem always is that the people I'm most interested in writing about are people that so many others have also written about," Goodwin said by phone. "They're the most fascinating and largest characters."
She faces the same challenge with Teddy Roosevelt. The 26th president was recently the subject of a massive three-volume biography by Edmund Morris. So she found a similar solution: Her next book, due out next fall, looks at Roosevelt's friendship and falling out with William Howard Taft and his cultivation of the muckraker journalists.
"Just as with Lincoln, I had to figure out some way of telling the story — not just a straight biography, because so many good works have been done," she said.
Regardless of the strategy a biographer employs, the goal is always the same: a good read. The quality biography's sense of personal intimacy feels more inviting than nonbiographical history. It invites us into a significant life (or lives) and insists that we stay awhile.
"I think there's a perennial fascination with great lives," Meacham says. "For people in an intensely frenetic time, it's a real commitment to read these books. Part of the covenant is that you have to do the best you can to reward readers for paying attention."
Jefferson as power broker, slave owner

The TLC274 and TLC279 quad operational amplifiers combine a wide range of input offset voltage grades with low offset voltage drift, high input impedance, low noise, and speeds approaching that of general-purpose BiFET devices.
These devices use Texas Instruments silicon- gate LinCMOSTM technology, which provides offset voltage stability far exceeding the stability available with conventional metal-gate processes.
The extremely high input impedance, low bias currents, and high slew rates make these cost-effective devices ideal for applications which have previously been reserved for BiFET and NFET products. Four offset voltage grades are available (C-suffix and I-suffix types), ranging from the low-cost TLC274 (10 mV) to the high-precision TLC279 (900 uV). These advantages, in combination with good common-mode rejection and supply voltage rejection, make these devices a good choice for new state-of-the-art designs as well as for upgrading existing designs.
In general, many features associated with bipolar technology are available on LinCMOSTM operational amplifiers, without the power penalties of bipolar technology. General applications such as transducer interfacing, analog calculations, amplifier blocks, active filters, and signal buffering are easily designed with the TLC274 and TLC279. The devices also exhibit low voltage single-supply operation, making them ideally suited for remote and inaccessible battery-powered applications. The common-mode input voltage range includes the negative rail.
A wide range of packaging options is available, including small-outline and chip-carrier versions for high-density system applications.
The device inputs and outputs are designed to withstand -100-mA surge currents without sustaining latch-up.
The TLC274 and TLC279 incorporate internal ESD-protection circuits that prevent functional failures at voltages up to 2000 V as tested under MIL-STD-883C, Method 3015.2; however, care should be exercised in handling these devices as exposure to ESD may result in the degradation of the device parametric performance.
The C-suffix devices are characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C. The I-suffix devices are characterized for operation from -40°C to 85°C. The M-suffix devices are characterized for operation over the full military temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

JINDO, South Korea (AP) — There are no names listed as relatives huddle around white signboards to identify bodies from a sunken ferry — just the slimmest of clues about mostly young lives now lost. Many favored hoodies and track pants. One girl painted her fingernails red and toenails black. Another had braces on her teeth.
As divers increasingly make their way into the ship, including a new entryway through the dining hall Monday, there's been a big jump in the discovery of corpses. And that means that on Jindo, an island near where the ferry sank Wednesday, relatives of the missing must look at sparse details such as gender, height, hair length and clothing to see if their loved ones have been found.
"I'm afraid to even look at the white boards," said Lim Son-mi, 50, whose 16-year-old daughter, Park Hye-son, has not been found. "But because all the information is quite similar, whenever I look at it, my heart breaks."
That's why relatives have already lined up to give DNA samples at the gymnasium where they are staying, to make bodies easier to identify when they are recovered.
With hopes of rescue withered, relatives angrily confronted government officials several times Sunday, furious as what they see as an inadequate response to a disaster that may have claimed more than 300 lives.
The confirmed death toll rose to 64 Monday as prosecutors said they detained four crew members — two first mates, a second mate and a chief engineer — whom they suspect of failing to protect passengers. The captain and two crew members were formally arrested earlier, and senior prosecutor Ahn Sang-don said prosecutors will decide within 48 hours whether ask a court for arrest warrants for the newly detained crew.
A transcript released by the coast guard Sunday shows the ship was crippled by confusion and indecision well after it began listing Wednesday.
Many people followed the captain's initial order to stay below deck, where it is feared they remain trapped. About 240 people are still missing. The ferry sank with 476 people on board, most of them students from a single high school.
According to the transcript, about 30 minutes after the Sewol began tilting, a crew member repeatedly asked a marine traffic controller whether passengers would be rescued if they abandoned ship off South Korea's southern coast.
That followed several statements from the ship that people aboard could not move and another in which someone said that it was "impossible to broadcast" instructions.
An unidentified official at Jindo Vessel Traffic Services Center told the crew that they should "go out and let the passengers wear life jackets and put on more clothing."
"If this ferry evacuates passengers, will you be able to rescue them?" the unidentified crew member asked.
"At least make them wear life rings and make them escape!" the traffic-center official responded.
"If this ferry evacuates passengers, will they be rescued right away?" the crew member asked again.
"Don't let them go bare — at least make them wear life rings and make them escape," the traffic official repeated. "The rescue of human lives from the Sewol ferry ... the captain should make his own decision and evacuate them. We don't know the situation very well. The captain should make the final decision and decide whether you're going to evacuate passengers or not."
"I'm not talking about that," the crew member said. "I asked — if they evacuate now, can they be rescued right away?"
The traffic official then said patrol boats would arrive in 10 minutes, though another civilian ship was already nearby and had told controllers that it would rescue anyone who went overboard.
Ahn said Monday that a number of Sewol crew members, but not the captain, took part in the conversation.
The cause of the disaster is not yet known, but prosecutors have said the ship made a sharp turn before it began to list.
More than 170 people survived the sinking of the Sewol, which had been on its way from the South Korean port city of Incheon to the southern tourist island of Jeju. The captain took more than half an hour to issue an evacuation order, which several passengers have said they never heard.
The confirmed death toll climbed over the weekend after divers finally found a way inside the sunken vessel and quickly discovered more than a dozen bodies. They had been hampered for days by strong currents, bad weather and low visibility.
Many relatives of the missing have been staying in a gymnasium on Jindo island, but dozens of relatives have started camping out at the port there to be closer to where the search was taking place, sleeping in tents. A Buddhist monk in white robes stood facing the water and chanted in a calm monotone as several relatives stood behind him, their hands pressed together and heads bowed in prayer.
At other times, anger has prevailed. Early Sunday, about 100 relatives attempted a long protest march to the presidential Blue House in Seoul, about 400 kilometers (250 miles) to the north, saying they wanted to voice their complaints to President Park Geun-hye. They walked for about six hours before police officers in neon jackets blocked a main road.
"The government is the killer," they shouted as they pushed against a police barricade. Families on Sunday also blocked the prime minister's car and cursed at and pushed the fisheries minister.
"We want an answer from the person in charge about why orders are not going through and nothing is being done," said Lee Woon-geun, father of 17-year-old missing passenger Lee Jung-in. "They are clearly lying and kicking the responsibility to others."
He said relatives are desperate to retrieve bodies before they decompose beyond recognition.
"After four or five days, the body starts to decay. When it's decayed, if you try to hold a hand, it might fall off," he said. "I miss my son. I'm really afraid I might not get to find his body."
The Sewol's captain, Lee Joon-seok, 68, was arrested Saturday, along with one of the ship's three helmsmen and the 25-year-old third mate. The third mate was steering at the time of the accident, in a challenging area where she had not steered before, and the captain said he was not on the bridge at the time.
Senior prosecutor Yang Jung-jin said the third mate has refused to tell investigators why she made the sharp turn. Prosecutors have not named the third mate, but a fellow crew member identified her as Park Han-kyul.
As he was taken from court in Mokpo on Saturday, the captain explained his decision to wait before ordering an evacuation.
"At the time, the current was very strong, the temperature of the ocean water was cold," Lee told reporters, describing his fear that passengers, even if they were wearing life jackets, could drift away "and face many other difficulties."
He said rescue boats had not yet arrived, and there were no civilian vessels nearby.
Kim reported from Mokpo, South Korea; Foster Klug, Youkyung Lee, Jung-yoon Choi and Leon Drouin-Keith in Seoul; and Minjeong Hong in Jindo contributed to this report.

This show is my biggest surprise of the season. I had no intention of watching it, but saw one episode and was hooked. A simple premise, but they are building an entertaining show around it, in my opinion. Gotou Keiji strikes again. I'm enjoying this more than anything he has done since Uta~Kata, in 2004. I'm not enjoying it anywhere near as much as that show, but it's a step in the right direction.

emotO Sengoku 05 - Samurai for Murder 3: The Remurdering
I've never actually seen Bokuden in any warring states-based anime before this one. This interpretation of her was pretty cute, but the format of the episode was the most intriguing part. A documentary and some behind the scenes footage, all showing how this weird time warp deal has affected our world. It was a surprisingly thoughtful look at how such an event would have an impact. The segment with the talking sword was a little weird (at least have it sing), but overall, it was a nice episode, if a little jarring when put up against last week. It appears there are other girls who fell into our world, not just those in the opening.
This show is moving in some interesting directions. I guess the writers were given free rein on this project, because it's been a grab bag of ideas, though not to its detriment. For next week, I have seen Gennai before. But he was a he then, and also the love interest of a magical girl. Anime can be weird like that.

Yay, finally watched the second episode. Go me.
First episode wasn't bad, but kind of bland, so I wasn't too motivated to watch the second episode.
Second episode was... to put it bluntly, boring as hell. A story about a little kid wanting to become an idol. Extremely lame and generic run-of-the-mill idol story.
Wait, let me check. Did I accidentally watch Precure or some other series targeted at six-year-old girls? ... No. Says "Sengoku Collection" right there. It's still like "My little Pony", just without the ponies.
Hmm... guess I'll watch the third episode just out of a morbid curiosity about how bad it can still get.
Last year's Sengoku Otome was nice. Not exactly stellar, but still nice. The idea of putting the Sengoku girls into present day Japan certainly isn't bad, but what they made of it... especially the second episode can only be flushed down the toilet.
It's also embarassing if the director tries to make a series about Sengoku girls, but himself has no clue about the Songoku time, obvious at various times - e.g. signatures are a western custom, unknown back then. If Ieyasu had actually been from the Sengoku time, she would've used her inkan (name stamp) instead.

@ Shimapan : Having a "female character's story of the week" is the main nature of Sengoku Collection, but the show itself will contain 26 episodes. The first half will introduce every single Sengoku females by explaining their stories, while the second half will focuse on a plot that can't be explained for the moment : to find the legendary six treasures in a Sengoku setting.

emotO Sengoku - Mystery Science Theater 1500
Today's entry in the genre lottery is a science fiction story. Gennai's invention exchange at the start of the episode was a nice bit of prop comedy (it can work. It just takes some skill.), with the rest being dedicated to helping her assistant. According to the credits, much like Nobunaga's temporary retainer, he was known as only as "Boy". The DeLorean-like interface on the swan boat time machine is the second BttF reference that's come up this week, and it's hard to tell which one is more direct. Her use of the time machine was selfless, but it's looking like Gennai would have better luck if she equipped that thing with a Mr. Fusion.
Still, liking the approach this show is taking. It's the first real anthology show we've had in a while. Ever since Masamune, Nobunaga hasn't appeared. There's a lot more glowy orbs for her to collect that are going unnoticed.
Next week: From the science department to the liberal arts department.

After last week's episode which I found dull, seen that plot a few too many times before, this one was quite charming. Okay, nothing much really happened and the message about appreciating your current environment and the people in it is not new, but it still left a smile one my face. It's not a bad message after all.
Still hoping the supporting cast doesn't get dumped in the second half of the series.

Ok, episode 4 of this thing:
Gangster story with lots of plot holes you could fly a Boeing 747 through, with ample space on both sides.
Dimwitted girl works for the first guy she meets, who just screams "Yakuza" with every pore of his body. Girl is surprised she's ransacked by the police for this. After being bored from digging holes and filling them up again, she breaks out. Piece of cake, since the prison has no security measures whatsoever - she just breaks a simple glass window and walks away. No search warrant for her either, so she walks around in broad daylight in her funny outfit that makes her stick out like a sore thumb. She obviously has a magic crystal ball that tells her the locations of all gang members, so she quickly does them in one after the other. It also tells her the secret hideout of the Yakuza boss. Like the prison, the Yakuza boss has no security measures whatsoever, so she walks right in on him without encountering anyone or anything. Dimwitted as she is, she talks and talks, so the Yakuza boss walks around, gets his pistol and shoots at her. She should've been dead now, because firearms were still totally unknown in the time she supposedly comes from, but she deflects the bullets as if she does it every day of the week, and then does him in as well.
The director of this tripe really is a complete and utter moron.
01: Pretty uninspired beginning. Poorly executed.
02: Infant programming that makes Teletubbies look intelligent by comparison. Deadly boring.
03: Not too bad, actually. Slightly yuri-ish model story, but still quite bland overall.
Overall, the stories are completely random and don't have anything to do with each other, except that Nobunaga appears in the last minute of each episode and takes their soul gems. (Ep. 4 girl doesn't want though, so she simply walks away again. The crystals don't seem to be that important, after all.)
Of all the shoddy anime that are poorly executed, have a lame and uninspiring story etc., this one does take the cake *by far*.
I therefore nominate this series as "King of Disgrace" XD

Weather-wise, this week's been anything but boring.
As the hottest week in Ashland so far this year comes to a close, thunderstorms dance around the Valley, threatening to bring lightning to the parched landscape.
"We're basically a desert, so we dry out every summer," said Michael O'Brien, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service's Medford office. "When we get lightning, it starts fires."
Temperatures have already begun to drop — after peaking at 105 degrees on Wednesday — as cool air from the coast moves east, over Southern Oregon.
Last month and July 1994 are tied as the second hottest Julys on record in Ashland, according to Chuck Glaser, a data acquisition program manager at the National Weather Service's Medford office. The average high temperature for the month during both years was 92.5 degrees.
The hottest July — since officials began recording Ashland temperatures in 1892 — occurred in 1896 when the average high was 92.6 degrees, Glaser said.
July is typically the warmest month in Ashland, with an average high of 88 degrees. The average high in August is 85 degrees.
Forecasts call for high temperatures to hover around 95 degrees this weekend and dip to the low 90s on Monday.
