Name reflects broader organizational change
Expanding its mission, staff, and footprint in 2013, the Mental Health & Addiction Advocacy Coalition (MHAC), formerly the Mental Health Advocacy Coalition, entered a new chapter and established Hubs in Northeast and Southwest Ohio with local staff members, dedicated a staff person to state level activities, and expanded its mission to include both issues impacting Ohioans with mental health and addiction disorders. These changes resulted from a comprehensive strategic planning process and a desire to have a greater impact on the community and the lives of those with a mental illness and/or addiction disorder.
Established in Cleveland in 2003 with 30 members, the mission of the Mental Health Advocacy Coalition was to provide a broader unified community voice to advocate for mental health issues and to coordinate advocacy efforts. Today, with over 120 member organizations, the MHAC has become a statewide coalition with the purpose to unify diverse local voices to advocate with the goals of (1) increasing awareness of behavioral health issues that impact people affected by mental illnesses and addiction disorders and (2) advancing policies that positively impact Ohioans affected by mental illnesses and addiction disorders. The MHAC has established itself as a resource for local and state policymakers, members, and the community through its ongoing advocacy efforts, data-driven research, policy analysis, and recommendations.

NEW LONDON, CT-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth cross country team turned in an improved performance at the Connecticut College Invitational at Harkness State Park Saturday.
The women finished 15th in a field of 22 with 444 points. Tufts was first with 54 points. The men were 17th of 24 with 463 points. Connecticut won the men's race with 86 points.
For the women, sophomore Katie Sheehan (Scituate, MA/Scituate HS) was 25th in the 6000 meter race in 22:55, sophomore Samantha Roderigues (Somerset, MA/Somerset HS) was 131st in 25:13, sophomore Renee Laurencelle (Tyngsboro, MA/Tyngsboro HS) was 156th in 25:39, sophomore Caitlin Dorr (Foxboro, MA/Foxboro HS) was 178th in 22:20, sophomore Jessica Connor (Worcester, MA/Doherty HS) was 192nd in 26:45, and sophomore Meghan Cutler (Attleboro, MA/Attleboro HS) was 199th in 27:05.
On the men's side, junior Chris Jordan (Taunton, MA/Taunton HS) was 82nd in the five mile race in 27:01. Freshman Michael Vaz (Dartmouth, MA/Greater New Bedford Regional Vo Tech) was 92nd in 27:08, sophomore Matt Ferro (Halifax, MA/Silver Lake HS) was 105th in 27:10, sophomore Eric Karstunen (Pembroke, MA/Pembroke HS) was 114th in 27:26, freshman Mike Bodden (Shrewsbury, MA/Shrewsbury HS) was 255th in 28:30, freshman Andrew Goncalves (New Bedford, MA/New Bedford HS) was 165th in 28:45, freshman Ryan Hayes (Kingston, MA/Silver Lake HS) was 170th in 29:45, and freshman Tene Paquin (Middleboro, MA/Middleboro HS) finished in 29:40.
"This week was a lot better than last week," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Jon Hird. "I think we were a lot more plugged in this week, we were really committed, and we improved on a number of levels. Both teams were shorthanded due to injury and illness, but we ran pretty well. Our men ran one of their traditional solid races, and we got a boost from Mike Bodden, who stepped up and ran one of his best races of the year. For the women, Katie Sheehan ran a really good race, that's the first time we have had a runner finish in under 23 minutes for 6000 meters. Samantha Roderigues is running well, and it's the first time Jessica Connor has been in our top five. It was a good day for both teams, and a good sign with a week off next week and the conference meet the week after that."
The Corsairs will return to action when they return to Westfield State for the Little East Conference and New England Alliance Championships in two weeks.

Pity the poor adjudicators and ombudsmen who have to hear complaints about our banks, financial services companies, real estate agents and other professionals. The same grievances crop up time and again.
If people took note of the decisions and learned from other people's mistakes, they could save themselves an awful lot of money.
Since many don't, I've asked the public watchdogs that deal with consumer complaints to sum up the financial lessons that can be taken from the cases they hear.
Real Estate Agents Authority
* Seek legal advice before committing to a contract. Sale and purchase agreements aren't all standard contracts. Vendors can slip in all sorts of clauses or delete common ones. It is never wise to sign a sale and purchase agreement without having shown it to a lawyer.
* Read and understand any agreement before signing. In a case heard by the REAA against Barfoot & Thompson agent Michael Benns, the buyer signed a sale and purchase agreement with a clause she was unaware of stating that any water ingress issues had been disclosed by the vendor. When her lawyer subsequently pointed this out, it was too late and her deposit was locked up until the dispute could be resolved. The REAA ruled that Benns' conduct had been unsatisfactory because he failed to adequately ensure that the buyer, who had a poor grasp of written English, was fully cognisant of the content and the implications of the additional clause he had added.
* Do your own property research and get an inspection report on any property you're considering buying. Ms G found when she sought a builder's report that a property she saw listed on the Harveys' website needed $20,000 worth of work. Harveys agent Richard Lancaster claimed, when he initially showed her around, that the property needed "cosmetic do-up" only, but he must have known the extent of work needed. The sale went through another agency, but Lancaster was still censured for, among other things, failing to declare in writing that he was also the vendor.
Banking ombudsman
* Monitor your bank accounts. Read your statements and contact your bank if you notice anything wrong. Mr G failed to open a bank statement for 18 days after he received it. When he did, he discovered $100,000 missing. Citing delay in discovery of the fraud, the bank made an offer to Mr G in which he would have had to foot $22,800 of the loss. The involvement of the banking ombudsman reduced this to $5700. However, had Mr G reported the fraud more promptly, he may have been fully reimbursed.
* Protect your cards and PINs. Ms J found out to her detriment that using your date of birth as a PIN is against banks' terms and conditions. While she was overseas her flatmate's daughter stole her debit card and went on a spending spree. Ms J was left $4300 out of pocket when her bank quite legitimately refused to reimburse her.
* Read everything carefully before you sign. Mr W was caught out when he withdrew $100,000 early from a term deposit. The bank took a far greater chunk of money as "interest rate reduction" than he expected. The formula was set out in the fine print of the term deposit. At the time of depositing the money Mr W was aware that he might need to withdraw it early and should have read the terms and conditions before signing.
* Keep repayment promises. Ms M complained to the banking ombudsman that her bank wouldn't agree to a repayment programme for her credit card debt. The bank, however, had already sold her debt to a collection agency. It had written to her asking her to make minimum payments of $90 a fortnight, but she had failed to increase her automatic payment.
Motor Vehicle Disputes Tribunal
* Beware of sham tenders. Auckland adjudicator Christopher Cornwell said in his annual report that he has warned the Government in 2008, 2009, 2011 and again this year about a worrying exclusion in the Consumer Guarantees Act for "competitive tenders". Cars sold by tender don't come under the Consumer Guarantees Act, which requires a trader to provide a buyer with a safe, fault-free and reasonably durable vehicle. The tribunal has heard cases against Ezy Buy Car Auctions and other dealers that gave buyers tender forms to sign when buying a car from the yard.
* Read the contract. Car dealers have been keen to use small print clauses that say the vehicle has been bought for business use and that the buyer and seller have contracted out of the Consumer Guarantees Act. "In almost all cases of this kind that come before me," says Wellington adjudicator Nicola Wills, "the purchasers have not discussed contracting out of the act with the trader and are not aware that they have signed any rights away until there is a problem with the vehicle. Many of the small business owners I see are commercially and legally naive."
* Watch out for extravagant claims by dealers on Trade Me. Cornwell noted in an annual report that extravagant claims can be used to sell cars on Trade Me. In one case a car that was "hard to fault" and had allegedly just had a full service turned out to have dirty oil, a slipping clutch, defective shock absorbers and it failed a warrant of fitness.
Commerce Commission
* Know what you are getting into. Read and keep any loan documents and other information a lender gives you. If there is information you think should be there about your loan and it is missing, ask the lender about it and seek legal advice.
* Don't expect to receive independent legal or financial advice about a loan from a lender. They are selling you a loan, not providing you with free legal or budgeting advice. If you want legal advice see a lawyer. For financial or budgeting advice see a budgeting adviser or registered financial adviser.
* Ask if you have to buy credit-related insurance to get a loan. The commission took Club Finance to court for forcing unemployed customers to take out payment protection insurance, which was of no benefit to them. Even if borrowers got a job after taking out the loan and were then made redundant, they would still not be eligible for a payout. The Credit Contracts and Consumer Finance Act explicitly states that borrowers cannot be required to take out insurance that is not reasonably necessary.
* Act fast. Always get in touch with the lender as soon as you start having financial difficulties - the hardship provisions won't apply if you are already in debt. Sticking your head in the sand only makes matters worse.
Insurance and savings ombudsman
* Read and understand insurance policies. The ISO hears many cases involving people with no idea what they're covered for. In one instance, Mrs C took out mortgage protection insurance, unaware that she needed to work at least 20 hours a week to qualify for a payout. When she lost her part-time job the claim was declined. Kiwis rarely read their insurance policies - although I must admit some clauses I've read over the years are so tricky most people wouldn't understand the full meaning of the words.
* Never sign if you don't understand something. Ask before you sign up to the terms. There is a lot of money at stake with insurance policies and investments and it's a mistake to sign on the dotted line of any legal contract without understanding it.
* Ensure there is a dispute resolution service. Not all insurers need to belong to a dispute resolution service such as the ISO. If something goes wrong, you might end up only able to pursue action through the courts, which can be expensive.
* There are far more tribunals and authorities than I could possibly mention here. Some, such as the Taxation Review Authority, Weathertight Homes Tribunal and the Social Security Appeal Authority, make decisions that can make or break a person financially. Details of these and others can be found at justice.govt.nz/tribunals

In response to the Russell Simmons promoted video Harriet Tubman Sex Tape, I wrote a piece for this blog that was very close to my heart. In the blog I talked about how I had wanted to write about the pain of feeling like the world hates Black women but had hesitated over and over again. In closing I added a short note to brothers:
"Somebody, anybody, sing a black girl's song…sing a song of her possibilities…"
Dear Brothers:
I guess I want my song. We sisters have been singing to each other for a long time. We have a small chorus of brothers who join in from time to time. But really, we have been force-fed songs for everybody else. We know all of the words to our songs by heart and our songs are pretty, but they don't soothe our souls like when…you sing. I don't expect * them * to sing, but I want you to sing. my. song. Love me. Sing to me. Protect me. Make this pain go away. Don't create this pain. Is it too much to ask to go to sleep and wake up to the melody of you singing my song? I want to go through the day with your song for me playing over and over again in my head. I want to have random memories of your lyrics cross my mind and make me smile. That's how I want to survive, with you and I singing each other through unjust verdicts and heinous videos and anything the world throws at us. I know how to sing your song. I sing it with a hoodie on, I sing it in front of prisons and courthouses, I sing it every chance I get, I promise you I do.
sing. my. song.
Don't hate me because I love you. We could sing together but my voice is tired. I just want you to sing for a little while.
While I was pouring my heart out here, a collective of Black men writers who call themselves Black Men Writing to Live were crafting a response to the much talked about twitter conversation that happened this week based on the hashtag #blackpowerisforblackmen started by Ebony.com editor Jamilah Lemeiux.
While this post is not a direct response to what I wrote – it certainly responds.
Sometimes I draw a hardline in situations like this. I get frustrated with the people who are "in the know" preaching to a choir that anxiously awaits their thoughts and musings so that they can vigorously agree. This is different. This is a touchstone conversation. This is Black men doing what Russell Simmons did NOT do in his apology – speaking directly to the hurt, pain, and challenges of Black women and being accountable. It's beautiful, and heartfelt, and vulnerable, and needed.
I went through a range of emotions as I read through this. Sometimes I just eagerly nodded my head in agreement and other times I clutched my virtual pearls with a silent 'awww' under my breath. It made me smile and think and cry – the good kind of tears. It made me feel exactly how I was looking to feel when I wrote the last blog – understood, appreciated, valued, loved.
These men are by no means perfect, nor do they profess to be. They are not calling themselves "the standard" but I would say this is a starting place for building a standard. I have said for a long time that these conversations that happen about the lives of Black women and Black men cannot happen only between same genders. If Black women aren't getting married, guess what? Black men aren't either. It's a family conversation not a national debate. We need to talk to each other and I'm so grateful to this collective for making that happen.
I'm posting the entire blog below. Please feel free to comment directly on the blog and repost liberally. Especially if you feel like I do and want to hug each and every one of these brother's necks.

A demolition crew evidently lost their wrecking ball while trying to flatten part of a library in Pennsylvania. The 1500-pound steel ball ricocheted off a dozen parked cars for nearly a mile before coming to a stop in the trunk of a Ford Taurus stopped at an intersection. Miraculously, only three people were hurt in this large scale pinball experiment, which concluded with chain reaction accident trunk bonus points.

John Francis Walks the Earth
In 1971, John Francis witnessed two oil tankers collide under the Golden Gate Bridge. Francis was so disturbed by the half a million gallons of oil spilling into the bay, he decided to give up riding and driving in motorized vehicles.
As Francis began to walk around his town, he encountered argumentative drivers. Why had he completely given up driving? Was he just doing it to make drivers feel guilty? Francis found himself arguing, and decided to stop talking for just one day and listen instead.
"It was a very moving experience because for this first time, I began listening, in a long time," Francis says. He decided to extend the experiment for another day, which turned into a year, which turned into 17 years without speaking, during which time Francis traveled the globe mainly by foot and earned a master's in environmental studies and a doctorate in land resources.
Francis began talking again because after all his listening and thinking, he had an important message to spread: "I started talking because I had studied environment at this formal level, but there was this informal level. At the informal level, I learned about people and what we do and how we are," Francis says. " Environment changed from just being about trees and birds and endangered species to being about how we treat each other. Because if we are the environment, then all we need to do is look around us and see how we treat ourselves and how we treat each other."
Francis authored Planetwalker: How to Change Your World One Step at a Time and founded the Planetwalk Foundation, an environmental nonprofit that works on sustainable development and environmental education for youth. founded the
"I want to encourage you to go to that next place," Francis says. "To let you out of any prison that you might find yourself in, as comfortable as it may be, because we have to do something now. We have to change now."

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
The pastor of the Tongan United Methodist Church in West Valley City has been removed from his position for failing to promptly report that young boys had been sexually abused by an older boy in the congregation, according to a letter written by a Denver church official.
The Rev. Havili Mone was suspended in August while officials investigated complaints against him. Bishop Elaine Stanovsky wrote in a letter dated Nov. 11 that when Mone first heard reports about the offenses, he "acted to heal the harm of abuse in a way that did not fulfill the expectations of The United Methodist Church and fell short of the professional standards for clergy in the United States."
Stanovsky had installed the Rev. Eddie Kelemeni, who is retired and lives in Hawaii, to fill in at the church, at 1553 W. Crystal Ave. (2590 South). She said in her letter that he will complete his time as interim pastor Nov. 30 and that a new pastor soon will be appointed.
The letter was sent Tuesday to church leaders with instructions to distribute it to members of the congregation, according to the Rev. Steve Goodier, a church superintendent.
Goodier said Thursday that Mone waited a few months after learning of the possible abuse before reporting it. He said the church has offered help to the children believed to have been molested.
At the time Mone was suspended in August, church members were not told the reason. About 150 members of the 600-strong congregation demonstrated in September in support of the pastor.
Stanovsky said that, effective Nov. 15, she intended to close the complaints against Mone, end his suspension and end his appointment to the church, which is named Laumalie Ma'oni'oni. Mone is taking a voluntary leave of absence from active ministry, and, as called for in church guidelines, will discontinue all pastoral responsibilities and relationships with members of the West Valley City church.
A West Valley City Police Department log obtained by The Salt Lake Tribune under a Government Records Access and Management Act request shows there were five calls from Jan. 1, 2010, to Oct. 23, 2012, reporting a sex offenses at the church, including three that were made after Mone's suspension. Those calls were made Sept. 27, 2011; Oct. 10, 2011; Sept. 18, 2012; Sept. 19, 2012; and Oct. 11, 2012.
Sgt. Mike Powell said the primary suspect is a 16-year-old boy but that several other cases are being investigated. The allegations involve up to 10 victims, all male minors, he said, and "range from lewdness up to and including sodomy."
Powell said the alleged incidents occurred at the church toward the end of last year and as recently as this summer.
"We want to stress, though, that the pastor in question here is not a suspect or a perpetrator," Powell said. "We did receive an allegation of failure to report, and that has been investigated and the district attorney is reviewing that."
Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill said his office is pursuing the matter in juvenile court and that there is an ongoing investigation. He declined to give any details because the case involves minors.
Outside of church duties, Mone was a familiar face during the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City, when he served as a torchbearer.

"Babies fed on demand do better at school," reported The Guardian, adding that those who "are fed when they are hungry achieve higher test scores" but that the experience takes its toll on their mothers.
The news is based on what is thought to be the first large-scale study to look at how infant feeding schedules relate to academic achievement later in childhood. After examining how more than 10,000 children were fed at the age of four weeks, the researchers then compared their performances in IQ tests at the age of eight and in school tests up to the age of 14. The researchers were specifically interested in whether feeding babies at set times led to different developmental outcomes compared with feeding on demand. They found that babies fed on demand did better academically later in childhood than schedule-fed babies. However, mothers who fed on demand were more likely to feel that they were not getting enough sleep and felt less confident than mothers who scheduled feeds.
This research suggests that infant feeding patterns are linked to later academic performance, but it does not prove that one causes the other. Although there did appear to be some relationship between the two factors, other considerations such as maternal attitudes and background may explain both. For example, a mother's attitudes could lie behind both the choice to follow a particular feeding pattern and the way she motivates her child to do well at school. As the researchers themselves have said, these results should be approached cautiously and more research will be required to confirm the findings.
Where did the story come from?
The study was carried out by researchers from the University of Essex and the University of Oxford and was funded by the UK's Economic and Social Research Council.
The study was published in the peer-reviewed European Journal of Public Health.
This research was covered appropriately in the media, with both The Guardian and the Daily Mail emphasising that the association between feeding patterns and IQ were statistically significant, but may not necessarily have any practical significance in everyday life.
What kind of research was this?
This prospective cohort study examined the association between babies' feeding schedules and their cognitive development and academic attainment throughout childhood. The study also examined the association between schedule feeding and the mother's wellbeing. The research included children who were both breastfed and bottle-fed.
This study was "prospective", which means that the research used initial assessments to establish the babies' feeding patterns and then monitored how the children's development progressed in the years that followed. A prospective cohort study is a useful way to examine the relationship between different factors (variables), as it allows researchers to be fairly confident that their measurements are accurate. Collecting information on the babies' feeding patterns during infancy, as opposed to asking parents to recall them years later, improves the likelihood that this data was accurately estimated.
However, while this study can describe the relationship between these factors, it cannot determine whether feeding patterns directly caused differences in child academic performances. The study authors have themselves urged caution when interpreting the results, as they demonstrate a potential relationship between a mother's approach to feeding and her child's level of subsequent educational attainment, but not that one can cause the other.
What did the research involve?
The researchers analysed data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), a large ongoing cohort study of children born during the 1990s in and around Bristol in the UK. In all, 14,541 mothers were enrolled in the study while pregnant and they were interviewed repeatedly during their pregnancy and after their child was born. For the current study, the researchers used data collected during these interviews, as well as school attainment test data.
When the babies included in this study were four weeks old, their mothers were asked whether or not they fed their baby on a regular schedule. Based on their responses, the children were classified as being one of the following:
- schedule fed
- attempted schedule fed
- demand fed
Researchers then collected data for several outcomes:
- Maternal wellbeing was measured when the child was between the ages of eight weeks and two years, nine months old (33 months). Measures included sleep sufficiency, maternal confidence, maternal enjoyment and postnatal depression.
- Child cognitive development was measured using IQ scores when the children were eight years old.
- Academic attainment was measured using the Standard Attainment Test (SATs) given to the children at school at ages 5, 7, 11 and 14 years.
The researchers analysed the data while controlling for several variables that may account for, or confound, the relationship between schedule feeding and the outcomes of interest. These variables included the child's sex, breastfeeding factors (including duration of exclusive breastfeeding), parenting style, maternal health and sociodemographic factors.
What were the basic results?
The researchers found that at four weeks after birth, 7.1% of the mothers reported that they fed to a regular schedule, 23% reported that they tried to feed to schedule and 69.8% reported that they fed on demand.
Mothers who fed to schedule were generally younger and more likely to be single, live in social housing and to be less educated than mothers who fed on demand. They were also likely to report poor health before and during pregnancy. Mothers who fed to schedule were later more likely to report smacking or shouting at their children and less likely to read to them.
The researchers found that babies who were fed to schedule:
- had lower SATs scores than demand-fed children at ages 5, 7, 11 and 14 (p<0.001 at all ages)
- scored 4.3 points lower on IQ tests at age eight (95% CI -5.9 to -2.6, p<0.001)
The researchers then assessed the relationship between feeding pattern and maternal wellbeing. They found that compared with mothers who fed on demand, schedule-feeding mothers:
- were significantly more likely to report getting enough sleep at eight weeks (odds ratio [OR] 1.55, 95% CI 1.31 to 1.84, p>0.001)
- were significantly more likely to report getting enough sleep at eight months (OR 1.62, 95% CI 1.34 to 1.95, p<0.001)
- were significantly less likely to report feeling "sometimes exhausted" at eight weeks (OR 0.52, 95% CI 0.42 to 0.64, p<0.001)
- reported higher levels of maternal confidence and enjoyment at both eight weeks and 33 months (p<0.001 for all measures and time periods)
- had no significant difference in terms of postnatal depression at eight weeks or at 8, 21 or 33 months
How did the researchers interpret the results?
The researchers concluded that feeding infants at regular intervals is associated with better maternal wellbeing but poorer child cognitive development and academic performance.
This large cohort study indicates that infant feeding patterns may be associated with both children's subsequent academic performance and the wellbeing of their mothers. The researchers emphasised, however, that while the results are statistically significant, they may not reflect "a causal relationship". In other words, even though there was a statistical link between the two factors, this doesn't prove that the way the children were fed caused them to develop or perform differently.
There is a range of possible explanations that could explain the relationships seen, as the researchers have highlighted. First, they said that the results surrounding maternal wellbeing may reflect a "reverse causality": that instead of regulated feeding patterns improving a mother's wellbeing, it may be that mothers who get more sleep and feel more confident are more likely to be able to establish a regular feeding schedule.
The study made statistical adjustments to account for the influence of several different factors, including the children's social and demographic background. However, other factors such as maternal characteristics may influence the relationship between feeding patterns and academic performance. For example, maternal characteristics could govern both a child's feeding patterns and development, rather than these factors being directly related to each other.
The researchers say that this is the first large-scale cohort study examining the relationship between feeding to a schedule and academic performance later in childhood. They say that additional research will be needed to confirm the results as well as to examine the mechanisms behind the relationship.
It is also important to remember that this study measured schedule feeding only once, when the infants were four weeks old. It is possible that feeding patterns changed after this time and that children who were classified as schedule fed for this study later became fed on demand. Given this limitation, this study is unable to address the impact of such potential misclassification. The study also failed to look at related factors, such as when the child was weaned onto solid food.
In summary, the study did find a relationship between schedule feeding and academic outcomes later in childhood, but the evidence is not strong enough to influence recommendations on feeding strategies.

Obama Sends Military Advisers to Iraq
Up to 300 Americans Will Aid Security Forces; President Presses Baghdad to Form Inclusive Government
WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama on Thursday ordered up to 300 members of U.S. special-operations forces to Iraq, while ruling out immediate airstrikes against Sunni extremists and stepping up the pressure on Baghdad to form a government that bridges the country's ethnic and religious divisions.
Mr. Obama announced his plans at a news conference after he met with his national security team. He spent much of his public appearance focused on Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, a Shiite whom U.S. officials and lawmakers blame...

Broncos defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, reportedly the subject of a second interview with general manager Reggie McKenzie in the search for a new head coach, came to Denver after three years coaching defensive backs with the New Orleans Saints.
Allen, 40, presided over a defense that ranked 20th in total defense, 24th in scoring defense, sixth in third-down conversions, 28th in interceptions and 10th in sacks. The Broncos were 18th in passing yardage allowed and 22nd in rushing yardage allowed.
He described his defensive philosophy this way before the Broncos started in the season in an interview on the club's Web site:
"We're going to be built off of speed and athleticism. We want to be a very fast, violent, aggressive type of defense. I firmly believe that defensive football is not nearly as much about X's and O's as it is about the way you play the game, the culture of your defense. I think if you look at where i've been in the past, speed and athleticism and aggressive football players is the type of thing we're looking for."
Allen started his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Texas A&M, where he played as a defensive back. He was the secondary coach at Tulsa in 2000-01, served as a defensive assistant with emphasis on the defensive line and quality control with the Atlanta Falcons from 2002-05 and was hired as the assistant defensive line coach by the New Orleans Saints in 2006 before being promoted to secondary coach. He was the secondary coach on the New Orleans team that won the Super Bowl against the Indianapolis Colts.

Wow that is great to know, keep me filled in on your
past interactions with John B.
Yes I have and do use conventional chargers and did
use a conventional charger and they went up in 2 hours or
three was it? I was watching a show and charging so then
the battery voltage was 4.2volts.
This is where lithium batteries slow way down and stop.
Yes battery 3 should be somewhat lower or over charging
takes place right away. I see that now.
And I see what you mean on discharging battery 3 and using
battery 1 & 2 to run a charge on them.
Let me think and I want to add these joules again to see
what I ended up with
Thanks Aaron, keep up the great work and I am looking
forward to your new video's in July.
Okay here is the deal, somedays I can't see the forest for the
trees because I had to collect data every 30 minutes for two
days till I could not see straight. Now that the smoke has cleared
and you guys have chimed in I am getting things corrected such
as the "C" rate, I have fixed the error now so it reads C5 rate.
In fact I was almost delirious those 2 days over the weekend and
sitting around doing data collection in the AC was all I was good for
after spending several days out in the 108 index
Thanks to Bistander also. What you said was so true. I have these
batteries of unknown capacity and saw a G2 number on them and
figured they were standard 2 ah Lithium. But they must be 1ah
and I am only getting 600mah out of 1. Some of these batteries
are lower rated.
Like Bistander said "SOMETHING IS BAD WRONG" that was forsure
as it turns out for capacity 3 of these paralleled batteries only
rang up to 1.6ah altogether so that is very low. Then I charged
them up again (With a regulated supply on an amp meter moving the
dial every 10-20 minute til full) and did the split pos.....thing.
Thanks for the heads up guys, I really goofed. I'll figure it
all up again now that the data is in.
I just knew something was wrong and now I can get my act
PS the sony batteries are US17670GR and some say 1200mah and now I see these are not my new batteries, Oops
and others say 1400mah

Lithium cells
And Lithium ion is nearly 100% for Coulombic efficiency; like 99.98% or thereabouts. So if your methods are good, you can count Ah in and get the same Ah out of a cell assuming you start and end at the same state of charge (SOC). And SOC can be fairly accurately determined from the cell's open circuit voltage.
I assume you were using the 18650 cells, 18mm dia × 65mm long. Those are common and cheap. Here is a link to an inexpensive charger/discharger (<$20) which should be able to characterize cells for you. Take some precautions when charging Lithium as severely overcharged cells can overheat and possibly ignite.
I think these Lithium cells would make excellent subjects for your tests. They should eliminate a lot of ambiguity you find dealing with lead-acid.
IMAX B6 DC Charger 5A 50W (Copy)
anomalies with lead/acid but I think all batteries do that don't they?
For instants I told you all I grabbed the wrong batteries (and yes these
batteries are the standard cheap batteries you mentioned) so I think
maybe they have sulfates on the plates mates.
I gottem on the Bedini right now in spkie mode way way down low
for the day. I built several of these SG OSC boxes ranging sizes
and I wouldn't trade these for my right hand.
Thanks for the information on Lithium-ion and the effects of speed
charging. Yeah I figure that the way these things zap up right away
with no heat. Yes I do understand your comments on heat and over
charging Lithium ion batteries. This has been all over the web for
years now that they could EXPLODE and so because of those
entries I have always wondered if I could blow one up.
But I am to smart for that. I hate poison. I was even thinking use
a rewound cordless drill motor cage to rewind like Matt does
with his big one to see what effects that and a tiny booster
might do. Who knows maybe I'll get time.
I've never seen any evidence that pulsing has any benefit on Lithium batteries whatever.
right about the price they are pricey by some people's standard's
Here is a diagram of Matt's setup.
We are charging and discharging the battery at the same time.

lithium batteries
This kind of small 3.2v lifepo4 battery is safer than the typical lithium batts. https://www.amazon.com/3-2v-LiFePO4-...g=maimounas-20
You can probably find those cheaper, that was just a quick search - but they are generally still super expensive.
One of the primary benefits of using the lithium batts is the ultra low impedance compared to lead acids. We saw this with the big cell phone tower battery banks. Ultra low impedance to a radiant spike allows one to greatly exploit the gains. With one test where Peter charged the big bank with the 10 coiler way back, the battery bank was able to deliver almost 10 times what went into it. That was the single biggest gain I ever saw on a lead acid battery bank.
However, on smaller lead acids, although the impedance is fairly low, it is actually huge compared to the large cell phone tower battery bank and that is why so many people will never see the gain in the battery alone coupled with the fact that most people never have a high enough frequency of charge/discharge cycles.
Paul Babcock has a 24v lifepo4 setup for his SG and he can stairstep them up with real capacity and not just voltage. It is our speculation that it is the low impedance of the lifepo4 batts because of the cell tower bank results. He charges them with spikes and supposedly they don't like spikes but it is amazing how well they respond. Some builders in Energy Science Forum tried the lifepo4's and did not get the results that Babcock did. He is using 24v and I think they're using 12v so not sure how much difference there will be because of that but the resistive loss percentage is less going with higher voltage.
I doubt it, I just drained out a LITHIUM battery rated at 1300mah
and it only gave me about 700-800 mah Max. You have to run them
and see just like you are doing.
This sets a standard baseline as I am sure everyone understands.
Aaron told me to run battery C all of the way down and when i did
that I found out the actual amount the batteries can offer.
Charging the death "C" position battery is easy now. To give everyone
a perspective I discharged a single battery into a bulb at 750ma
for 1 hour burning up all of the power to ground.
I put battery "C" in it's rightful position to charge in the split
positive diagram and only 500ma down to 400ma running thru
the light bulb load for 1 hr.
Now it is charged again all the way to 4.19v
Now i will see how much power is in this same battery C
by removing it from the split pos..........system and burning
up all of the power once again to ground.
THIS is what I am doing
Gone see how much I get out this way.
I am back to double check all these results. C-U-ALL shortly
when I have another result. I can't wait to see that water
generator breaking all the records. That one you setup with
high energy ignition? Yeah that one, can't wait.
Yeah I am back and actually finishing that first charge that is at
around 4.18 but I think I'll go all the way to 4.2ovolt. When i left
it was below 4.20v. It started up at 500ma and after 1 or 2
minutes slowly dropped. It is running 400ma like before.
4.19volts now.
Yeah right that is what I am doing, I am charged up and gonna
runher down once again
Now it is 10 minutes later and the charge current is 380ma.
Yes this is the way to reuse power, I love it.
There it goes 4.20volts After 1 minute disconnected the battery is
still 4.05volts. I will wait till it stops. 4.03v now. so yeah it is
important to charge up the battery all the way.
It will sit at like 4.01 or 4.00 volts.
One hour later the light ran once again at the 700ma average
staring volts 4.2v and ending was 3.15v. Here is what I have
taken from these 3 batteries so far.
1 hour run time of light directly off battery "C"
1 hour run time of light while charging battery "C"
1 hour run time of light once again straight off "C"
So far three hours of light so remember the the conventional
discharge curve above shows that all three batteries in parallel
gave a 5.5hr run time of light.
So the goal is to see how many times I can charge and discharge
battery "C" running the light and charging in this split pos..........
The run voltages of battery A & B while I am on this 4th hour of light
while charging at the same time is A = 3.60v and B =3.66v under a
load. Now I don't know if you understand the significance here but
this is very impressive. I only ran it for a couple of minute to get the
readings and then stopped. We will see next time how many hours
we have left.
Judging from my past measurements I will have to say that we will
get a lot of extra light doing it this way.

Well first let me say that I am grateful for this information
that Paul and others you mentioned have spent time on these
concepts. This encourages many of us who can not find any materials
whatsoever anywhere around the web such as YOUTUBE
experimenters might do.
The idea the Lithium batteries are very low impedance and this
can aid in the recovery process is something we all need to
remember. I remember John B saying that his huge batteries
were conditioned til they were 1 ohm.
So recovery is inhibited by internal resistance of batteries, this
makes me flashback to John K. statement that he likes a cap
dump to counteract this internal resistance. The high energy surges
both clean plate area and efficiently deliver energy on target.
So resistance of batteries is very important
I understand what you mean by stair stepping.
Hi Sky
This is what I am doing.
I am using up the power in C which is the charge battery
as you know conventionally discharging it nothing out of the
ordinary then I am charging "C" (The single charge battery)
with the split positive connection diagram while running a load
and repeating the process of emptying batteries A & B these are
the series connected batteries.
Here is what I said for this test yesterday then I will add today.
1st hour run time of light directly off battery "C"
2nd hour run time of light while charging battery "C"
3rd hour run time of light once again straight off "C"
Okay to add today so far making it another 2 hours of runtime
and charging this time. This being the 4th and 5th hour added
to the 3 hours of run time of the light.
4th and 5th hours charging "C" and running the light at 315ma ending
charge voltage was 4.10volts.
Batteries A & B voltages are 3.47v and 3.51v respectively under load.
I am now discharging "C" which is disconnected from the circuit
once again and this will make it the 6th hour of light.
I am using the split positive connection but the only time I
use it is when I have a dead battery to charge.
Last edited by BroMikey; 06-24-2016 at 08:21 AM.
Referring back to this diagram where only standard discharging
takes place uses a resistor to slow current draw down.
All charging and discharging runs are done without that resistor.
In these tests "C" is being discharged without that resistor and
this is why I show a 700ma drain during this time of conventional
discharging. 6 hours have past and if you compare figures you can
see that under these conditions of using the energy we get more
light (More Mili-Amps/ time) longer due to battery "C" always being
completely dead before using energy from A & B in the split positive
Previous runs kept battery "C" in an over charging condition at the
beginning which wasted power.
The new result is in for the 6th hour.
6th hour conventional discharge "C" battery 650ma ending 3.15v

Now it is time to calculate joules.
V x A x 3600sec. or average voltage x Average ma.
Under load figures after 1 minute connection time
1st hr = conventional discharge figures
3.85v + 3.2v / 2 = 3.525v
at 700ma average = 3.525v x .700ma x 3600sec = 8883 J
2nd hr = Split positive 3.20v x .425 x 3600sec = 5240 J
3rd hr = conventional discharge figures
same as 1st hr = 8883 J
4th & 5th hr = 3.05V x .315ma x 7200sec = 6917 J
6th hr = conventional discharge figures
3.75V X 3.15v /2 = 3.45v
at 650 ma average = 3.45V x .650ma x 3600sec = 8073 J
7th & 8th hr = split positive 2.90V x .150ma x 7200sec = 3132 J
I still have whats left in this battery that charged while the light
ran ending charge voltage only reached 3.90v with batteries
A & B now fully discharged at 3.23v each.
9th hr = conventional discharge figures
at 575ma = 3.46V x .575ma x 1200sec = 2387 J
This gives a total of 43,515 J
Conventional discharging of the same 3 batteries in parallel
only offered 22,900 Joules approx.
See previous charts above for verification.
I guess Mikey's Fluke meter must be to blame.

Hi mike, thanks for sharing your results.
So it looks like about twice the original for the basic setup and you aren't even splitting the positive again, when you discharge C all by itself.
If you split the positive from C into another battery or back to A or B, maybe a boost circuit of some kind (joule thief), you'd push the output numbers up even higher.
peace love light
you are hooked on recycled joules.
We need to understand that in both split positive tests why
one is collecting more than the other. I said once and now I'll
say it again, the charging battery "C" is the critical variable.
In test one of the split positive runs the charging battery "C"
has a higher impedance being fully charged than a dead battery.
In test two the configuration was changed slightly to make sure
any time a split positive run was made battery "C" was dead.
This lower impedance is a more receptive state to reorganize
energy so with lower resistance energy transfer is more efficient.
22,900 J plus or minus 10 percent error = 20,000 J
29,000 J split positive run plus or minus = 26,000 J
43,000 J split positive run plus or minus = 36,000 J
I'll have to rerun tests to be sure I didn't do something wrong.
On the boost idea I think somebody needs to say that the
SG OSC was born for just this reason and you don't hear
anyone talking about using it.
Doesn't anyone think John B ever thought of using these circuts
to create a potential difference with his SG OSC, and then
call it a boost converter? Or call it a joule thief?
Come on guys. I am ranting again.
I know how this all sounds like it is too simple stupid.
Last edited by BroMikey; 06-25-2016 at 01:00 AM.
Not necessarily the bedini stuff, but this joule thief is quite efficient in recycling energy back and forth....
I'll consider it because you are leading.
That eliminates the 'C" rate, just one less excuse.
charging peak voltage then drop in voltage
I know for the 3.2v lifepo4 batts, 4 is 12.8 volts and ideally, they get pushed to 14.8 just like gels and AMG's, which is about 1/2 a volt under what flooded cell lead acids need.
Since Bedini's charging technology is not compatible with the normal lithium batts, I don't know - maybe ideally they need to be pushed a little higher than you quoted.
I don't know if the normal lithium batts do this, but lead acid and nicads have the charging curve where it goes up, peaks and then drops and the charge should finish after it drops showing the impedance dropped and the battery is fully charged. Maybe you can see if the charging curve is the same or similar with the non-lifepo4 lithiums. If you have some pc based volt graphing program, you can see it go up and come to a peak and then drop - if it is like so many other batts, that is your signature to end the charge AFTER the voltage drops after it peaks up near where you said it needs to go. This is not a guess of what will happen, but just thinking out loud if it would be the same. If so, then you know when it's reached full capacity for it's own particular condition.
I re-did the previous sloppy calculation and found an error of
1000 Joules it should have been posted as 23,900 Joules
Now after a few runs and some harder discharges the joule
count is rising. Keep in mind I am only dealling with the
conventional discharge right now to see what's up with
these batteries. Some say 1200mah for these batteries
when they are brand new and we all know batteries give
an actual output that is lower.
The new measurements are for a faster discharge and
very closely watched on the meters. I will be happy with
70 percent of 1200mah. I didn't go all the way to 3.20v
but judging from my curve I wasn't going to make it much
longer than a minute or two so i stopped at the half hour
This new chart shows a 2.5hr run offering 25,700 Joules
I think they look good when you think about it. Maybe it is
the way I am calculating. Under load the new battery would give
the same average voltage of 3.5v and the 1200 x .7 (705) = 840ma
for 1 hour split that in half over a 2 hr and so on.
I got an average of 805ma over a 2.5hr run that makes these
batteries over 1600mah batteries plus. You picken on my
I'll have to confess now that I have been charging this with
genmode so my batteries are getting bigger? What do you think?
I thought if a battery was rated at 1200mah that meant that
over a 2.5hr time frame I should only get an average of 500ma
per hr? Is that right?
Anyway give it some thought here is my chart.
The way I am figuring may be the problem
I see what I did wrong hang on a minute.
805 ma average over a 2.5hr run = 2000mah for 1 hr
then split that between 3 batteries in parallel = 700ma
per battery. pretty bad I guess if they were 1200mah?
I have another set thank goodness maybe I'll see what a set
of 3 of these batteries give off. These are new ones. I found
the new set.
Here is what the new set looks like and some call it
a 18,600 2 ah and some call it a 5000mah battery
so I don't know I really don't.
The ones I am running right now are green 1200mah
and these are blue 2200mah i guess. Who knows right?
Okay I dumped those green batteries and now that my
new blue ones are getting charged up I can see how
much more powerful they are by the way the meter won't
move up very quickly while charging. These batteries seem
much better so I will run these instead.
I just bought these batteries off of ebay.
The green ones are small and to much trouble because
I'll be wondering if the capacity will change right in the
middle of a calculation.
But the calculations I have shown are consistence and
show that these batteries offering a 25,000 joule count
can be extended using the split positive diagram to 40,000
joules. Let's see if the new batteries say the same thing.
If you want to stick with a 500ma discharge, then that is 2.4 hours or 2 hour 24 minutes.
6 minutes different isn't huge, but for batteries this small, that represents around 5% of the total capacity at the 2.5 hour rate or about 4% of the 2.4 hour rate.
Hi Aaron
It's time to see, all day I have charged these batteries that are
new on a very low spike Brand new 2200mah no excuses
now these batteries will kick butt.
batteries rest at 13 v running under load at 1.6 amps 4.05v
starting 3.45oc this is a single battery under test not 3.
Wowzzee these ones are mighty
Oh yeah I need to tell everybody I made another mistake by
using a 1 amp meter because the nettle was pinned over now
my meter is a large 5amp scale, more leg room, I'll check the
old one again for a minute. maybe I cut off the readings for the
first 30 minute before. I think so because now I am at 3.79v
and the amp draw is still 1.25amps, yeah I did I cut off the
the start up readings on other tests.
BRB with more data comparison, I will get it right.
Ps back now
3.45oc 4.05v at 1.6amps
4.00oc 3.88v at 1.4amps
4.15oc 3.78v at 1.25amps
4.45oc 3.58v at 1amp
1st hour Joule report = 17,784 J
4.45oc 3.58v at 1amp
5:15oc 3.48v at 800ma
5:45oc 3.36v at 650ma
2nd hour joule report = 10,206 J
5:45oc 3.36v at 650ma
5:55oc 3.25v at 500ma
3rd hour Joule report lasted 10 minutes = 1140 J
Total joule count for single battery is greater than all three
of the old batteries coming to ............
Total Joule count = 28,530 J
Assuming that each battery can produce the result the
total pack energy/joules for this brand new pack is............
New pack Joule count = 85,590 J plus or minus 5% error

My new graph is here thanks Mike I am patting myself
on the back. Got to keep the faith
This way I can always look back on the numbers to be sure.
These batteries pack quite a wallup
I guess you were oh so right Aaron those old batteries are a joke
I charged the old ones back up and they only 1050ma max.
Last edited by BroMikey; 06-26-2016 at 12:29 AM.
The New Batteries and the tally coming in now BRB
constant voltage?
Here is a graph of lifepo4 vs lead acid.
Do you know of the regular lithiums to be constant voltage batts?
The thing I understand about it is this. Laptops for instance
use these batteries and all packs have an inverter built into
it for charging and somewhere it also has another inverter/converter
that maintains the correct voltage from the ever diminishing
voltage coming from the batteries.
All devices use switchmode to keep a steady output
off the batteries. Just like an AC inverter does with the
12v batteries.
I got more data coming now
so far it looks good 28,000
Something close and the run batteries are still charged
You are right Aaron about the curve BRB and I'll say something

My Grandma would say "boy you backwards as the hat"
Rather in a trap, NFL draft pick or rap
Virginia's for hustlers, hustlers get it back
I thought that life was a bad bitch, bad car
Life is with your kids watching Madagascar
In the headrest of the H3 with crash bar
Rocking Play Cloths, every day's a catwalk
[Pusha T]
Been there, done that, fell off, got back
Real nigga shit, only champions can talk that
Earn my respect, niggas hating cause they want that
Been to hell and back, only champions can walk that
Talk that, put yo money where ya mouth is
Tee off on the green, golf course is where the house is
A long way from pumping out housing projects
Investing in real estate, weighing out my prospects

More triumph of political correctness over reason: Cleveland police must now identify a suspect before they can close a rape case
The despair and decay that is Baltimore has crept west and landed on the shores of Lake Erie. And once again, a mayor, a city's sexual grievance industry, and a major U.S. daily have joined hands to insist that rape victims are being mistreated.
In once-promising Cleveland, a policy change in the way police handle rape claims could have the tragic effect of causing law enforcement to offer up innocent males just to appease the rape goddesses. The rust belt is now officially the "Rape Belt."
Cleveland police are being criticized for supposedly improperly clearing rape cases that should not have been cleared, thus giving the impression they have solved more crimes than they really have. How do police do this dastardly thing? They sometimes clear cases before a suspect is identified, that's how.
Read that again. Let it sink in. And then try to reconcile the policy requiring that there be a suspect before a case can be closed with the news stories we report on every day in this blog -- where there are no legitimate suspects, because the rape claims are lies.
According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, in order to clear a case without an arrest -- a classification known as "exceptional clearance" -- the police are supposed meet all of the following criteria: (1) Clearly identify at least one of the offenders and know the suspect's whereabouts; (2) Have enough evidence to support an arrest, charges and prosecution; and (3) Be prevented from making an arrest by a reason outside their control.
Cleveland police policy, the Plain Dealer asserts, prohibits detectives from closing cases before suspects are identified.
Cleveland Police Deputy Chief Edward Tomba disagrees, and rightly so. "'We have numerous cases where a suspect never gets identified, and we clean that case up,' he said. 'To me, that category of exceptional clearance, that's just the way we've done it for 30 years.'"
The next paragraph is a sterling example of a law enforcement officer speaking common sense:
"Tomba said that whether a case has been cleared or is considered open is an arbitrary semantic distinction. Cases are cleared when the investigation hits a wall, he said, but any case could be reopened if new information were to emerge within the 20-year statute of limitations."
But common sense, as always, is trumped by political correctness. According to the Plain Dealer: "The [police] policy, however, specifically states that exceptionally cleared cases are considered closed. 'I'd consider those cases cold, not necessarily closed,' Tomba said of the dozens of improperly cleared cases. 'Really, it's just words. So instead of 60 exceptional cleanups, you'd have 60 open cases? OK, but they'd still be sitting in the same place -- not being investigated.'"
So how are rape cases presently cleared in Cleveland? The same way they are cleared everywhere that police are permitted to do their jobs unfettered by policitical correctness run amok. ". . . when it comes to clearing cases, Tomba said detectives take their cues from city prosecutors, who review the results of the investigation and determine whether there is enough evidence to move forward. If not -- and detectives say they have no further investigative leads -- the case typically is closed. One of three supervisors in the unit signs off on the decision, Tomba said. And once it's closed, detectives will revisit the investigation only if a witness comes forward with new information."
This is a recognition of reality. For the vast majority of rape cases, no one -- except the accuser and, where applicable, the accused -- can say what, if anything, happened. The policy of requiring a suspect to be identified is a manifestation of a mindset that women don't lie about rape, and that every claim represents an actual rape. That is simply far from true.
Several months ago, Mayor Frank Jackson appointed a rape panel to track promised changes to the way police investigate sexual assault. Who do you suppose serves on the committee? After all, for every other municipal panel assembled, diversity is critical. Or, because this "rape," does this panel get a pass?
You guessed it. A white woman, Megan O'Bryan, president and chief executive of the Cleveland Rape Crisis Center, and two black women, serve on the Mayor's panel. Penis-bearing humans, as a class, are unfit, unqualified, and unwanted -- because "diversity" is only important when we are seeking to insure women are represented. There is no such thing as women being "over-represented."
Ms. O'Bryan spouts the usual narraitve: "It is in the public's best interest to create a community where victims are encouraged to report, and where they are believed and supported when they do."
Here we go again. Why can't we just say it's in the community's interest for victims to be encouraged to report, and to insure that all rape accusers are treated respectfully? It is not, however, in the community's interest to automatically "believe" every rape accuser. Such a policy does a grave disservice to the presumptively innocent men and boys they accuse since, by necessity, they must be guilty if their accusers are believed.
If police are dismissing rape claims without investigating, that is wrong, by any measure. Every rape claim needs to be take seriously. We report on case after case after case here where police recount the incredible man-hours they devote to spurious claims. But if some cases are treated cavalierly, is it any wonder? (And I'm not condoning that.) In case after case after case that we report here, judges, law enforcement personnel, and even members of what is aptly called the "sexual grievance industry" bemoan the harm to legitimate rape victims done by rape liars. A cry of "rape" is no longer sacrosanct, and if Ms. O'Bryan wants to combat rape, she would do well to pull her head up out of the sand and attack the people who diminish the integrity of rape claims, the false rape accusers. I will not hold my breath for Ms. O'Bryan to join our fight.
But from now on in Cleveland, to appease the people who dominate the public discourse about rape, in order to close a rape case, police will need to nab a suspect -- any hapless male will do -- arrest him, force him to disrobe to have pubic hairs removed for testing, photograph his genitals, interrogate him on and off for hours and hours, and then let him go. Don't dare apologize to him. Make him feel lucky he's being let go.
It is political correctness run amok. Sadly, this strange and woefully misguided policy -- this games playing with semantics -- could have the tragic effect of leading law enforcement to offer up innocent males just to appease the rape goddesses.

I'm pretty sure mentioning Meteor City now has no real impact on the narrative or continuity.
It seems the anime is starting to take more and more liberties with it though. So far that hasn't been a bad thing though. If the 'filler' comes in small bits and pieces like this and remains like this, I wouldn't mind.

The butler apprentice girl Canary was pretty impressive.
She wasn't all crazy like his family, but is more like Gon.
No wonder Killua wanted to be friends with her.
Guess Killua is just like his dad ^^ who seems to be the only kinda "normal" member of that family, except maybe for his grandpa.
I'm glad he managed to get free of his family, at least for a while.

Let's talk about some important things in this episode.
It begins with a flashback. Young Killua meets Canary and tries to befriend her. It's clear that she wants to do so, but she has to decline at the imposition of her employer. Kikyo is from Meteor City too--it's something that hasn't been revealed in the manga, but was written in the guidebook.
So the reason why Canary slipped last episode should make a bit more sense. She wasn't just touched by Gon's determination, but he represented something that she cannot be: friends with Killua. Even if she wants to, it's one of the most taboo things in the Zoldyck household. Because of the nature of her job and their own. Canary didn't cry out of sadness--she cried because she was touched. Touched that someone would love Killua enough to break him free from this perverted family. To try and make a change through force if he had to.
I really liked how abruptly the flashback ended, with Killua remembering Gon's face (asking to be friends). It implies that it's the only thing keeping him going. This is what he wants most in life and he's being deprived of it.
Now that you've met most of the Zoldyck family, it should be clear just how twisted they are. Killua described himself as a bit of a liar; he must get it from his mother. Kikyo lies all of the time in this episode in order to protect what she wants. But despite how strange they are, there's something unexpected holding them together: love. A strange, distorted love.
Despite Killua being flogged and tortured for weeks, he doesn't think any less of his family for having done it. In fact, he lets it go. He's had his body violated for so long and he thinks that there's nothing wrong with that. It's extremely sad, but that IS what's considered to be "normal" in his own household. Milluki might have perpetrated this, but he still has good things to say about Killua. It's...something else. Killua was lying to Gon when he said that his ultimate goal is to "capture his family." He actually really cares for them. But he wants to live his life without being oppressed.
Killua's conversation with his father Silva is the highlight of the episode and the most important part of it. The two make an oath in blood: Killua will never betray his friends. Given how badly that Killua wants this, start to pay attention to the lengths Killua will go to keep that promise. We've already seen one way: Killua threatened to kill his own brother if he harmed them.

Killua's dad seemed surprisingly reasonable, but then there was that ending as well. It can't be this easy that they just meet so soon. Like how his mom couldn't even touch him when he got serious. Killua's grandpa seems to spoil him, though that may be just because his potential. I'm surprising we haven't seen Illumi yet, unless he went out on his next assignment.

Amazing how much I missed Killua, even though I didn't really think much about it. The tone of the episode is so much happier when he and Gon are reunited, even when they're dealing with deadly serious stuff.

great episode. the butlers are so militant in this version. it only dawns on me now that most abilities in hxh are based off of a real-world game or trick, haha.
the animation in this episode was so good. i felt like i was watching a ghibli movie. this anime is the exact same experience as reading the manga is--it's uncanny. i love it. and the dialogue in this series is even better. gon and killua together is a dynamite combination. they talk like they're so much older than they actually are, lol.

Killua's mom sure is a drama queen throwing a fit like that.
The main butler was a pretty scary guy.
His little game was very serious though.
Finally, Killua managed to find them first ^^
It was nice watching them together again!

Indianapolis – The Indiana Civil Rights Commission (ICRC), with help from Indiana Black Expo's Youth Video Institute, has developed a video that chronicles the history of civil rights in Indiana. The video, titled "Indiana's Road to Equality" takes an in-depth look at the trials and tribulations faced by minorities and women throughout the Hoosier state.
"It's important that this story be told," said Jamal L. Smith, Executive Director of the Indiana Civil Rights Commission. "We must not forget the issues of segregation and widespread discrimination that plagued our state and country in the past."
From Indiana's formation to statehood in 1816, to the creation of the Indiana Civil Rights Commission in 1961, the video takes viewers on an interactive journey of the fight for civil rights in Indiana. The video includes interviews with state legislators, community leaders as well as current and former Indiana Civil Rights Commission's staff.
"As the state's enforcement agency for civil rights we feel it is our responsibility to bring an end to discrimination," added Smith. "However, as history demonstrates, to see real change it must be community-driven. Which is why it was important to get multiple perspectives included in the video."

The Most Beautiful Women of All Time
List Rules Voting should be based on a woman's beauty during her peak years as all beauty inevitably fades with age . . .
List of the most beautiful women of all time: ranked not on talent or accomplishments, but on looks alone. This is a test to see if the so-called "wisdom of the crowd" will actually be able to determine who the most beautiful woman of all time is. If you'd like to rank these women on more than their beauty, consult The Best Actresses in Film History list. This list does not only include the prettiest current actresses, but the most beautiful women in history.
So, who is the most beautiful woman ever? Of course, that woman may very well be a total unknown, but since it's impossible to list every woman who's ever existed, and one is less likely to rank people they don't know, this list will obviously be restricted to people who've achieved a fair level of celebrity. A "fair level of celebrity" is defined by being famous enough to have a profile page on Wikipedia or IMDB. Historical figures are accepted IF pictures of them are generally accepted as accurate. Add your own suggestions and this should hopefully be an ever expanding list.These ladies are the top of the list in the conversation for sexiest woman ever and prettiest woman in the world. These are the hottest women of all time, definitely in the top 10 most beautiful women ever.

Givenchy Bag Replica Pandora vs Real: When The Price Is Too Good To Be TrueCategories:Other Brands
You can already find two detailed posts on how to spot a replica Givenchy Antigona bag and also plenty of replica handbags reviews that will help you learn how to stay away from bad fakes. So this time I want to write more about another Givenchy bag replica that's also very popular, the Pandora messenger bag.
I will also make a few mentions on other popular styles from the brand, such as the replica Givenchy Rottweiler bag or the Givenchy Lucrezia bag. When it comes to celebrity favorites, I don't think there's a Givenchy bag that could ever surpass the Antigona's wild popularity. Still, if there's a certain Givenchy bag replica you'd like to know more about, just let me know.
Givenchy Bag Replica Pandora vs Real
I recently received an email from a reader who wanted me to authenticate her Givenchy Pandora bag in distressed leather:
"Hi Eva!
I came accross your blog as I was browsing pics of real vs fake givenchy Pandora. I really want to buy this bag. (Photos attached) The seller says all her bags were from an auction in Japan where they get luxury nags in . Thank you so much for your help and I await your reply.

Chanel Price Increase 2015Categories:Other Brands
Well, its 2015, a new year full of new opportunities. But what's more? The Chanel Price Increase of course, duh!
The year 2014 was wild and an exception. First we heard that Chanel might discontinue their best-selling classic, the Grand Shopping Tote also known as the GST. Then on September, around the time that Chanel released the Cruise 2015 Collection, the prices of the 'boy Bags' jumped higher than kangaroos. But what made this year different, was the fact that Chanel did not increase the prices of the other classics, like the GST, Cerf Tote, WOC's and the other Classic Flap Bags.
READ: Chanel Grand Shopping Tote Discontinued
READ: Chanel Price Increase Over The Years
Many people (including myself) are crossing their fingers and hoping that Chanel will not increase their prices this year. But when looking at the history chart, Chanel 'always' increase prices at least twice a year. So they will not make 2015 an exception.
There are two things we're certain:
1. Chanel punishes everyone that procrastinates.
2. The question about the price increase in 2015 is not 'WILL THEY', but 'WHEN'.
I remembered the story of a girl that went to the Chanel boutique to purchase a Classic Flap Bag. The SA reminds her that the prices went up TODAY. That's horrible right: 'sorry, you're one day late, so you got to pay $300 USD extra'. Yikes!
So far, the rumors about Chanel price increase 2015:
A few members in our community got informed that Chanel will increase prices in January 2015.
Taiwan boutique claim that it will happen on 10 January 2015.
Neiman's SA said that it will be in May 2015.
London boutique scratches their head and had no clue.
Chanel SA in Canada wasn't certain about it, but she's confident that it will not happen on 15 January 2015.
All right, let's look at the history chart. Chanel price increases usually happens in February, May or December. So count down and prepare for the hit or you can always beat the price increases by purchasing tomorrow.
We will update this page as soon as we heard something, including new prices when they are announced.
Anyone got news about the Chanel price increase 2015, please drop them in the comments. Thank you!

Hermes Lindy Bag Replica And Halzan Replica: Disappointing Experience OverallCategories:Other Brands
This Hermes Lindy bag replica was bought from Hermessale.biz and so is the Hermes Halzan replica that you will also see in this review.
Hermes Lindy Bag Replica & Hermes Halzan Replica From Hermessale.biz
"I just came across your site and has been reading it for days. Great site with information and suggestions. I was scouting for a Hermes Halzan and through your blog, decided to give hermessale.biz a try.
I initiated Live Chat with them, and it's all email interaction after that. I must comment on their customer service, they will 'reply' albeit the wait (2 days wait for me). Hence, you gotta to be really patient.
I travel quite extensively and residing in Hong Kong, it's known to just take a train to China and scout for your replicas there. For many a reason (China Visa, travel time, Customs), I've decided to buy online and give it a try.
Here's my experience with Hermessale.biz:
I was given 12 colour palettes to choose, for the Halzan.
I paid for 2 Halzans, through Western Union, and the transaction was rejected. Apparently, China sets an amount limitation to accounts when money is going into the PRC.
I was contacted by hermessale.biz to do another transaction, through a different account holder.
Firstly, I had a big problem trying to get back my reimbursement from Western Union. And to do another transaction with the same account number but a different account holder, that had me taken back for awhile.
Cut the story short, after a session of frust and agonizing patience, I got back my reimbursement and cancelled the 2nd transaction.
I paid my 2 Halzans with credit card after the experience with Western Union. And the nightmare started after the payment went through…. sigh….
Hermessale.biz contacted me that out of the 12 colour palettes, only 3 were in stock.
I paid for 2, and I only have 3 colours (white/etoupe/gold) to choose from? I nearly went berserk!!
Anyway, I chose one gold Halzan and they allow me to change the other choice to another range of Hermes, that's in within the price range. I opted for a Hermes Lindy bag replica.
They showed me pics of the gold Halzan and Lindy before shipment. Hermes Lindy bag replica has very little flaws, but the Halzan was a total mess. I pointed out the flaws to them, and they told me that they have recently CHANGED to a new supplier. Inner leather was coarse in sight, the shoulder strap was missing the Hermes logo and the inner buckle was totally not a Hermes buckle.
Hence, I have to share this to everyone that read this blog, please check your merchandise before it's been shipped out.
I have received the Hermes Lindy replica yesterday (instantly compared my genuine Lindy bought from Paris and the replica from hermessale.biz , not many flaws except for the poor workmanship towards the inner sewn rim), and as for my Halzan…. they need 1 month to tailor a new one for me. (Trust me, it's the trick of the trade. They didn't expect me to find those flaws in Halzan, and hoping that I would change to another range of Hermes)."
I have to agree with everything my friend said, the Hermes Lindy bag replica looks decent but the Halzan replica looks really bad. This is the first time I receive such a bad review for this Hermes knockoff handbags site and I have to say I was a bit disappointed myself. Not because the bag is flawed but because they weren't honest from the beginning. The real problem here I think is that they said they had 12 colors in stock at first and they only let my friend know they didn't after she had made the payment. This is definitely not okay.
Right now they have only 4 replica Hermes Halzan bags available on their site: white, etoupe, red and dark blue, so I'm guessing they removed the colors they don't have anymore from the site.
So if you are looking for a good Hermes Halzan bag replica yourself, unfortunately this site is not the way to go. But what's even worse is that this Hermes bag is difficult to find in general. So don't get your hopes up. Their Hermes Lindy bag replica collection is much more offering though.
Even after this experience, I think this site is good for affordable fake Birkin bag and replica Hermes bags in general. But just like my friend here said, make sure you check the bag first it is shipped out.
I really hope they are going to make this better and send a better Hermes Halzan replica. Will keep you posted if I get an update on the matter!

KINGSTON, R.I. – The Yale men's soccer team didn't wait long to put Friday's heartbreaking loss to Fairfield in the past. Peter Jacobson scored twice and Brad Rose added one goal and two assists as the Bulldogs knocked off Rhode Island 3-1.
"We were looking for a bounce back performance, and we got it," said Yale head coach Brian Tompkins. "We got great leadership from our seniors."
On a warm and muggy afternoon, Yale seized control by scoring twice in the first 16:16 of the game.
"I thought we showed a high level of mental toughness," Tompkins said. "The conditions were tough, but we were able to score a couple of very good goals."
Rose got things started at 7:33 when he took a pass from Max Morice, broke through the defense and fired a shot into the right side of the net.
Less than 10 minutes later the Bulldogs struck again. Rose worked his way through the box and fed Jacobson, who quickly fired a shot past URI goalkeeper Peyton Warwick.
Rhode Island's Joey Haught scored on a penalty kick at 19:42, but Jacobson tallied his second goal of the game midway through the second half to seal the victory.
Yale had a 16-11 edge in shots and a 5-2 advantage in corner kicks. Bobby Thalman made five saves to earn the victory in goal.
The win was the first for the Bulldogs this season away from home.
"It was important for us to go on the road and win against a tough opponent," Tompkins said. "I think we took another step forward today."
Yale is back on the road on Tuesday at No. 2 UConn. Kickoff is slated for 7:30 p.m.
