MSI clearly wants to make sure that it can serve every available customer looking for a GeForce GT 1030. The company has no less than six models coming out based on the peewee Pascal, including passively-cooled cards, low-profile cards, low-profile passively-cooled cards, and even one with a standard dual-slot GPU cooler attached.
Starting off with the largest card, we have the GeForce GT 1030 Aero ITX 2G OC. This card could easily be confused for a more powerful part thanks to its rather nice-looking Aero-family cooler. A glance at the rear panel belies that delusion, though. This card only has two display connections: an HDMI port and a single-link DVI-D output. Meanwhile, The passively-cooled GeForce GT 1030 2GH OC appears to use the same board with a thick fin stack for completely silent operation.
The other four GT 1030 cards coming from MSI are low-profile offerings. The single-slot GeForce GT 1030 2G LP OC uses a small heatsink with a tiny little fan to keep the GP108 GPU running cool. The port cluster is comprised of an HDMI port and a DisplayPort connection. The GeForce GT 1030 2GH LP OC appears to be the same card, but it trades its cousin's active cooler for a dual-slot passive cooling arrangement. Both of these cards are also available in "V1" versions that trade the DisplayPort connection for a single-link DVI-D port.
You may have noticed that all of MSI's GeForce GT 1030 cards are marked as "OC". True to the branding, all of them bump the GP108 GPU's nominal boost frequency from the Nvidia-recommended 1468 MHz up to 1518 MHz. All the cards come with 2GB of GDDR5 memory connected to the GPU over a 64-bit bus at 6008 MT/s, a fractional upgrade over the reference 6 GT/s.
A few of MSI's cards are already available on Newegg. Right now you can pick up the low-profile GT 1030 2GH LP OC for $73, or its actively-cooled cousin for $70. If you have room for a full-height card, the GT 1030 Aero ITX is $75. Supply appears to be spotty, but that's likely because the launch is still quite fresh. If you don't see the card you want, keep looking.

About Us
Meet Full Throttle WOD Founder & L2 Fitness Coach, Todd Gabriel
What inspired you to create Full Throttle WOD?
I knew there were a lot of people (myself included) searching for effective WODs outside of a traditional box. There needed to be a way that someone with coaching experience could provide a program that was similar, but didn't come with a large price tag.
When creating Full Throttle WOD, I had everyone from military personnel to those who are simply curious about starting a WOD program in mind. Full Throttle WOD has also proven to be a great workout companion for users who travel often, and is easily used by athletes of all skill levels.
In your own words, describe the Full Throttle WOD app.
The Full Throttle WOD app provides a daily workout that guarantees users will never get the same workout twice in a row. To make sure this is the case, we created a 100% custom algorithm that is exclusive to Full Throttle WOD. Users have the ability to save their favorite workouts, create their own box that friends and family can join, or post their WOD time to our global leaderboard. Our leaderboard allows users to compare scores with other athletes across the world and follow the action in real-time!
Did you have a fitness background leading up the creation of the app?
I have been passionate about (and involved with) fitness nearly my entire life. In high school, I received some rather poor coaching, so during my time in the Marine Corps I began researching different training methods. Following my time in the military, I ran track for my college team, where I was exposed to high level Olympic lifting and strength training. The combination of all of these experiences eventually led to me getting my L1 and L2 training certificates through CrossFit Inc. I eventually became a high school strength coach, bringing my experience full-circle, where I always work hard to put relentless emphasis on proper form and technique.
You mentioned that you are an L2 fitness coach, what motivated you to take your training to that next level?
When I first began training, I encountered plenty of coaches with their L1 certification that either had no business coaching or they had a hard time properly programming an effective workout. To separate myself from this crowd, I knew I needed to take the next step in certification. These same issues are also what motivated me to create the Full Throttle WOD app.
In your opinion what is the most important aspect about fitness?
Honestly, enjoying life outside of fitness. I think we can all agree that staying in shape is important, but I also like to put an emphasis on balance outside of the box or gym. There's no doubt that being strong and fit enables me to participate in many of my favorite activities, while also preparing me for the unknown. Unfortunately, I have seen many people so focused on fitness that they don't take the time to enjoy all of the other amazing things that life has to offer.
Putting fitness aside, describe yourself.
In short, I'm a fun-loving family man, with a bit of an edge. My time in the Marine Corps alongside a strong faith is what gives me the extra push to go out and get after my goals. I strongly believe that God didn't put us on earth to be ordinary.
In your opinion, what makes the WOD style of fitness the best option for people looking to get or stay healthy?
For me, it's the fact that WODs or HIIT style workouts are based on natural compound movements that are dynamic, as opposed to the static routines that don't offer much variety. WOD's combine weights, gymnastics, and intense cardio all while racing against the clock. This allows athletes to measure their progress, engage in healthy competition, and allows them to push their workout to a higher level. WODs by nature are high intensity for a short time period, allowing us to get a vigorous workout in without taking up as much of our valuable time.
What advice would you give someone who is interested in Full Throttle WOD, but hasn't tried this style of fitness before?
First of all, I would encourage them to try the Full Throttle WOD app! It is highly effective for people on all levels of the fitness spectrum. From there, I would encourage them to reach out to us with any questions about the movements or the app that they may have. We can be reached at email@example.com.
In terms of using the app, I would suggest that they scale down in weight and pace themselves to start. Always prioritize in this order: technique, consistency, then and only then, intensity.

A lot of words are used which many of us consider as jargon when it comes to the internet and computers. We sometimes even go ahead to use these words incorrectly simply because we've heard ignorant people do the same. What we all however need is a short and simple explanation of the concept so that when it comes up during usage, we can appropriately use and reference the terms.
HTML and CSS
HTML is an acronym for Hypertext Markup Language and CSS means Cascading Style Sheets. These two terms refer to the core technologies that are employed in the development of Web pages. HTML is the technology that allows videos, texts, forms, images and any other piece of content on a website to make everything become cohesive. HTML also allows the resizing of images, adding of external links to pages and tweaking of words. Cascading Style Sheets or CSS allows for styling around images, font size, type, colour, mouse-ober effects and page layouts.
In short, anything that can be seen or read is presented by HTML while the CSS makes it look beautiful to sight.
Internet, WWW
WWW or the "world wide web" and the "Internet" are terms that are most times used interchangeably but don't exactly mean the same thing. The Internet in reality is the wiring that allows all the computer systems in the world to interact and communicate with one another. The World Wide Web on the other hand operates through the wiring system of the Internet. Different Web pages are transmitted through Internet connections. A lot of different data asides Web pages however travel across the Internet too and a good example of these are emails.

UX and UI
UX refers to user Design Experience Design, while UI Design stands for User Interface Design. Both UX and UI work hand in hand and are essential to every computer product.
The UX acts as the functional design which measures and optimises functions of the computer. The UI is more cosmetic in nature and makes viewing, presentation, senses and reactions aesthetically pleasing.
Front and Back End
The front end of the website has a back end where all data that makes the website possible is stored. The back end of any website usually consists of a database, a running application and a server. An app developer builds and maintains the technology that powers all the components that enables the front end or the user interface to exist at all. Back end developers make use of server languages such as Java, Python, PHP, .Net and Ruby to build applications and tools like MySQL, Oracle, and SQL Server to find, save, or change data and serve it back to the user in front-end code. This enables server applications and database communicate with each other.
READ: You Really Need To STOP Whatever You're Doing Right Now And Watch This Video
Software and Application
Software and applications are terms that are most times used wrongly. Software is an all-encompassing term used in contrast to hardware. As such, everything that is not hardware, is software. An application on the other hand is a type of software meaning all applications are software, but not all software are applications. An "App" is a small chunk of software which is usually designed to run on any type of small and specialized electronic devices such as a smart phone.

Applique Club
Instructor: Heather Bateman
Skill Level: Beginner/ Intermediate
Class Fee: First meeting: $40, meetings thereafter $10Description: Club members will be coached by Heather Bateman thru completing an Applique pattern OF THEIR OWN CHOOSING! That's right, choose that pattern that you would love to tackle, but have been too intimidated or don't know the techniques. During your first club meeting, the group will analyze your pattern in depth and you will develop your "attack plan" for the project. Fabric choices, construction techniques, adaptations, and methodologies (hand techniques and machine techniques) will be considered. This process is meant to give the quilter the means to adapt and adjust commercial patterns to make their project truly a custom work of art. Club members will meet on subsequent club nights to evaluate progress, work thru any "situations", and share stitching adventures. Members may join at any time.

The first mention of the wooden church of St. Peter and Paul comes from 1278. At that time, the parson was the priest Dietriech, and the patronage over the church was held by the city council. At the beginning of the 15th century, the construction of a new brick church began. The works started in 1401 or 1405. The church with the tower was completed in 1441. It was built within the city's fortifications, being an integral part of the city's defensive walls. During the fire in 1483, the temple was partially destroyed. Initially, it was rebuilt temporarily, and its further development lasted until the early 16th century. In 1525, as a result of the Reformation, the church was taken over by Evangelicals who built a sacristy a year later. In 1655, the building passed into the hands of Catholics. In the 17th and 19th centuries the church was renovated and repaired many times.
It is a late-gothic hall structure, three-nave, 6-span, with three-sided aisles closings from the east. The central nave is wider than the side aisles and more forward. The chancel is not separated from the external corpus of the church. In the northern part there is a three-span sacristy and three chapels between buttresses. From the west side there is a square, four-story tower. It is reinforced with buttresses and its façades are decorated with blendes. From the south, four chapels and a small neo-gothic porch were built. Outside, the church is clasped with buttresses, between which there are ogival, mostly three-light windows.
Inside, the central nave is covered with a four-arm stellar vault, above the aisles there are three-supports vaults. The chapels are covered with rib, net and three-supports vaults. On the bosses of the nave, you can see, among others the head of Christ, the head of Saint John the Baptist, Silesian Eagle, or a shield with a lion. The corbels also have a variety of forms, for exemple in the shape of masks or human heads. The pillars in the western part are rectangular with bevelled corners, while in the eastern part they are on plinths, with profiled corners. The nave is open to the side aisles with ogival arcades, analogous arcades separate the side aisles from the chapels.

Jackie, our optical lab coordinator is definitely one of our more creative employees. Thanks to her Fine Arts Degree from KU, her artistic skill can often be found in many of our eye wear displays throughout the office. She may be a hidden face in our office, but it is only because she is busy in our in-office lab, constructing each and every pair of glasses; this includes even our most challenging frame designs. Jackie prides herself on frame repairs; if it can be fixed she will fix it!
When she's not at the office, you can find her at home with her husband and dog Gracie. Jackie also enjoys working on her various art projects and taking yoga at a local studio.

Greeting each patient with a warm smile, Dara is one of the first team members you will see upon your arrival. Dara's rosy outlook in life is evident in her interactions with patients. She brings years of valuable customer service experience. Dara owed 10 different sets of unique eyewear before working in eye care, so she fits right in!
She earned three bachelor degrees from the University of Kansas (textile design, English, and political science). Dara strives to keep learning in her life. She enjoys playing games of all types, RPG's, billiards, to any board game. She has a passion for nature, reading, art, and meeting people with cultures different from her own. Her son is currently studying at KU and plans to pursue a PhD in statistics.
Smantha, who is as unique as the spelling of her name, is one of our opticians; she earned her certification of opticianry in February of 2018. She combines multiple years of experience with a unique sense of style to give each patient a customized experience. She will help you choose your eye wear with enthusiasm and honesty.

A lifelong Kansan, Smantha grew up in Burlington. She received her Economics degree from Emporia State University in 2013 and shortly after, moved to Lawrence.

She shares her home with her two rescue animals; a cat named Biscotti and a wire-hair terrier, Lucy. Smantha is a bright and witty addition to our team.
Cory is one of our optometric technicians and helps patients find the best combination of frames and lens options. Cory knows no two patients have the same lifestyle or priorities and works hard to provide individualized products, care, and advice.
She once scored 17 straight holes-in-ones at mini golf. At that point, she retired from the sport forever citing lack of challenge. Her husband refutes this story but lacking evidence, the statement stands. Cory and her family moved to Kansas 4 years ago. They think Kansas is very nice, despite what the other states say.
Nicole joins our optical team bringing her smiling face and vibrant personality to our office. She has a knack for bringing in new frame lines that helps capture the essence of Lawrence. Before joining our team, Nicole managed a local clothing boutique. With her background and expertise in fashion, it makes finding eye wear that fits your unique, personal style an exciting and fun experience.
Nicole grew up in a suburb just north of Chicago and moved to Lawrence in 20013; she says it's one of the best decisions she's ever made. Nicole is an animal fanatic! When she is not a work, she loves spending quality time with her dogs Rosco and Scarlet. She also enjoys socializing with friends, and spending weekends down at the lake with her family.

These pictures were taken a couple of days ago when it was 11 degrees or so. Not very winterly at all but when you live somewhere where snow is a rare thing then you welcome the warm winter weather. I love the snow but hate the cold (unless you are inside bundled up in front of the fireplace).
One of my favorite Friday activities is to go to the Portobello Road Market. They have so many good stalls with vintage clothes and accessories. The last time I visited I came home with this shirt and I absolutely adore the print.

The need for assistance is increasing.
"Our food stamp benefits have been cut, and we barely made it on the old amount. Now, food stamps usually last us for two weeks. Without the food bank? I don't know how we'd make it."
Faced with a slow economic recovery, high health care and fuel costs and other contributors to rising poverty levels, more local residents than ever before are struggling to pay their bills and buy the food they need. One out of every five families in Linn and Benton counties must depend on food from an emergency food pantry at least once each year. Emergency food pantries and soup kitchens across our area are providing assistance to record numbers of people.
WHO we serve…
They are your neighbors and fellow community members.
"My husband and I have been self-employed since we married. About three years ago he was injured on the job. With his disability insurance, we make $11 too much to qualify for the Oregon Health Plan. But, his insurance doesn't cover many of the special medications he needs. One year ago, because he tried to stretch his medications beyond what the doctors prescribed, he had a massive heart attack. Me…? I would have to divorce my husband in order to qualify for any state assistance. So, I appreciated any help I can get at the food bank."
More than 49,000 individuals and families will request food boxes in our two-county this year. As expected, people in need are seniors, people with disabilities, single parents, and the unemployed. But surprisingly, in Oregon the majority of people who live in poverty are working. The Oregon Center for Public Policy states that at least one parent works part-time or more in 64 percent of families with children living in poverty.
According to Oregon State University professor Bruce Weber "The people that have significantly higher hunger rates are our employed people, families with full-year, full-time employed workers, where the hunger rate is twice as high as nationally, and those with two adults in a household with children."
In fact, children feel the helplessness of hunger most deeply – they make up almost 40 percent of those receiving emergency food assistance in Linn and Benton counties. Even worse, Oregon has the highest rate of childhood food insecurity in the nation. For 29% of our kids, access to nutritionally adequate food is limited or uncertain.
So, the people we serve – the people receiving emergency food assistance – are the kids sitting next to your own in school. They are someone's elderly parents trying to get by on a fixed income while rent, utilities, health care and prescription drug prices soar. And they are working families who don't make enough to purchase food to last the month, and often must skip or cut their own meals so their kids will have enough to eat.
WHAT we do . . .
LBFS Distribution Programs
Delivery program – Linn Benton Food Share delivers to the emergency food box and emergency meal site locations in Linn & Benton counties, ensuring that the resources for those local programs can be focused on their emergency services.
Fresh Alliance program – In partnership with Fred Meyer, Albertsons, Rays Market and Walmart, LBFS collects dairy, milk, produce, meat and other products from local grocery stores that are close to pull dates and distributes the products immediately to our network of food pantries and soup kitchens. An average of 50,000 pounds of high-quality food is saved from the landfill each month.
Food Rescue program – Through Food Rescue, LBFS collects "prepared but not served" food from the McNary, Arnold and Marketplace West dining halls on the OSU campus. Food is distributed immediately to meal site locations in Linn and Benton counties. The average pounds of nutritious food saved per month – 5,500.
Types of Agencies in the LBFS Network
Emergency Food Box agencies (food pantries) – Local food pantries provide a 3-5 day supply of food to individuals and families at or below the 185% of the federal poverty rate. These agencies provide food to an average of nearly 14,500 individuals per month in Linn and Benton counties in 2013.
Emergency Meal Sites (soup kitchens) & Emergency Shelters – Emergency meal sites provide a welcoming environment and a free meal to individuals and families seeking assistance. Emergency shelters provide safe havens and meal services for families, youth, and individuals who do not have access to a safe place to spend the night. Together, these agencies provide an average of 24,000 meals per month in our two-county area.
Supplemental, Non-Emergency programs – These non-profit agencies serve low-income individuals or families and food is part of the program services. The agencies include child care centers, drug & alcohol rehab centers, group homes, senior care facilities, and weekend backpack programs. They provide an average of 23,000 meals per month.
Gleaning – There are 14 gleaning groups operating in partnership with Linn Benton Food Share in our 2-county area. These groups are all non-profit organizations, consisting of and run by low- income beneficiaries. For more information about the Linn Benton Food Share Gleaning Program, click here.
HOW we do it ...
Community support and participation is essential.
Linn Benton Food Share wisely manages the funds we receive, keeping our overhead costs (including salaries) at around 1% of donated dollars. We distribute over 5 million pounds of food a year with the equivalent of seven full-time staff. Obviously, we couldn't do this without a tremendous amount of community support.
Local volunteers provide more than 228,000 hours a year in staffing emergency food pantries, soup kitchens, and shelters. Last year, 14,000 hours of service were given directly to Linn Benton Food Share to help us carry out our operations.

While updating today's earlier blog, I noticed that Facebook, in its infinite wisdom, is no longer producing links to blog titles. After an hour of arguing with the stubborn software, I turned to another piece of tech geekery: "If This, Then That." Supposedly, this software will put out a Facebook message AND a Twitter message every time I publish. This would remove my having to do this manually every day, so I have attempted to set it up. However, Updating a current blog post doesn't seem to trigger it - only a new post will do. Hence, this long-winded experimental post to see if the new software solution actually works.
Thanks for your patience while I work this out, and I (hopefully) now return you to your regularly scheduled Misdirected.

Republican Jeff Gonzalez announces challenge to Assemblyman Eduardo Garcia
Riverside County Republican Party Chairman Jonathan Ingram got into a heated discussion with activist Joseph Turner after Turner made a scene at a meeting.
Jeff Gonzalez, a Marine veteran and pastor, has announced he is running as a Republican against state Assemblyman Eduardo Garcia.
Gonzalez was born in New Jersey and raised in Southern California, according to a biography on his campaign website. He enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. when he was 19 and participated in military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He has been a pastor at Southwest Church in Indian Wells and Orange County-based Saddleback Church and is active with a nonprofit helping woman veterans deal with service-related trauma.
District 56 covers eastern Riverside County, much of the Coachella Valley and Imperial County.
Garcia was mayor of Coachella before being elected to the Assembly in 2014. He easily won re-election in 2016.

Note: This will be a very YouTube-heavy post. While you can skip the vids and read the text, you might to allot some time for the vids to get the full effect. Also, due to the YouTube videos, this might cause some browser issues.
Greetings, Citizens of the Universe!
Today is a special day in the Touhou fandom: it's 9/9, Cirno Day! It's a day where we celebrate the Strongest Ice Fairy in Gensokyo.
What does this have to with M3 and J-pop idols? Well, if you're new to this part of the Blogging Stratosphere, the short of it is that I named Cirno as the patron Touhou of Morning Musume's 9th Generation. (This is also why the princess-like leader, her KY (see under Nicknames) deputy, the polarizing ace, and the Ensemble Darkhorse are all referred to as "Ice Fairies," "Cirnos," or "the Strongest Generation" on the blog. Regarding that last one, it barely helps that they made a strong impression from the get-go.)
It also barely helps that their debut song sounds similar to the UNL version of Cirno's theme. (Unlike the "OMG they ripped off Majisuka Gakuen" camp, I view it as a major coincidence as ska is rather familiar territory in H!P. In fact, H!P Ska is among its strongest genres.)
As such, in observance of Cirno Day, this post is going to talk about H!P's Ice Fairies. Fortunately, while they can be goofy, none of them are dim.
Allow me to take you back to 2011, 2010 even! Here is footage from their audition:
(Watching this made me remember the following:
- I both wanted Sayashi to get in and not get in, because she was good. Her raw talent and work ethic was something needed for Morning Musume going forward, but I correctly predicted that she will be pushed by the management and polarizing to the fanbase because of it. I even read a confession on Tumblr saying that her voice has suffered damage because of her time as an ace.
- I correctly predicted that Mogi would not get in and would be better as an Egg (as they were called that at the time). This (of course) made me mad when she "completed her training," especially given the fate regarding her fellow reject (read below).
- I was miffed Otsuka Aina didn't get in and was ecstatic that she became an Egg. This, of course, made it hurt even more that her time in Juice=Juice was cut short due to contractual disputes.
- My prediction for the 9th Gen was almost right on the money. I thought Otsuka would get in and I didn't factor in a surprise addition at all, let alone Eggs. (This is from someone who has been in the fandom long enough to know Tsunku and UFA throw more curveballs at us that a baseball machine.) These days, I am happy for all the girls (saltiness regarding Mogi and Otsuka aside).
And the post-decision period:
If you want to see the aftermath (mainly behind-the-scenes footage of their first single, promo show, and concert) documented in as much detail as humanly possible (via Bijo Gaku), check out this playlist.
It all lead to this MV:
Ah yes, Maji Desu ka Ska! Originally scheduled for a March 23rd release, the Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami necessitated it moving to April 6th. The single debuted at #5 and reportedly 41,029 units sold. What are my thoughts? Courtesy of the 2011 post in the Ping Pong Pinpoint: Precision Past Perspective rewind series, read below:
Are we serious? Yes, I'm serious! Why so serious, ska? Why so serious? Maji Desu ka Ska! We were treated with immense behind the scenes footage into the making of this PV — culminating in the world premiere of the completed edition. Many have feared that having all of these "kids" would have a detrimental effect on the music(forgetting/not knowing that not all child newbies had child friendly songs). Many also tried to stir controversy over the title being an apparent ripoff of Majisuka Academy, due to the title. I'm not speaking on that matter.
What a nice song to get Japan's spirits up after a major disaster! (Though they were still in the backburner in the public consciousness.)
Now that you know their story…
Let's get to know the girls!
Each of these snippets is accompanied with a video "introview" (introduction/interview) from their debut single. I even went through the trouble to count how many episodes of Hello! Station each girl has hosted/co-hosted. (You'd be amazed…)
Fukumura Mizuki
Fukumura Mizuki had her start as a Hello Project Egg, joining alongside now-former KSS leader Kaneko Rie and future ANGERME member Takeuchi Akari in June 2008. After a stint as Mano Erina's background dancer and as Shugo Chara Egg!'s 2nd Amulet Heart (after 3/4 of the original lineup went on to form 3/4 of OG S/mileage; her predecessor was Maeda Yuuka, by the way), Fukumura was called up from the Developmental League in 2011.
She became Morning Musume's 9th leader in 2014, following the graduation of Michishige Sayumi. This was after becoming joint sub-leaders with Faith Girl Iikubo Haruna in May 2013.
As of this writing, Mizuki has been an MC of Hello! Station five times for the following installments: 37, 38, 74, 94, 113
Ikuta Erina
Ikuta Erina is the eldest of the audition winners, where she gained infamy for being an "AKB wota," to the point where her stoicness during photo shoots was mistaken for a desire to be among the 48s. (It was pointed out that Ikuta has had some modeling experience prior to becoming an Ice Fairy, so that might explain it.) Thankfully, this has gone down and people are more accepting of the fact that idols don't see these boundaries and rivalries like the fans do.
She became known early on for her "KY" character. In 2014, she took Fukumura Mizuki's place as joint sub-leader with Faith Girl Iikubo Haruna, due to the former's promotion to leader.
As of this writing, Erina has been an MC of Hello! Station five times for the following installments: 72, 73, 83, 91, 131
Sayashi Riho
Sayashi Riho is a standout among the audition winners. She also had the most H!P experience among the audition winners and the second most behind Fukumura, having participated in their Fashionable musical the year before.
Sayashi, like other aces, is polarizing and the topic of her worthiness is enough to spark a "conversation" on the matter. My feelings is that I like her, but I'm primarily ambivalent. I'm among those types who loves all of them and respects/admires their hard work. Sayashi Riho is no different. (As previously mentioned, I both wanted her to get in and didn't, due to her potential. I… almost feel sorry for Rihoriho, due to her state.)
As of this writing, Riho has been an MC of Hello! Station five times for the following installments: 29, 30, 89, 98, 117
Suzuki Kanon
Kanon has certainly made an impression. She stood out to me with her goofy personality and charm. (It helps that she vocally reminded me of Kusumi Koharu, but far nicer. This was during the time I was burned.)
Suzuki quickly became a dear among the fanbase, particularly in the West. However, her "chubbiness" made her a butt of jokes among the Japanese fandom. (I put "chubbiness" in quotes because I never really noticed any weight changes. That is why the most recent fandom topic about her, mentioned in the following paragraph, left me confused.) This was also cited to be a source of "those weirdo Westerners'" preference for her.
Despite her sweetness, Kanon has been the center of two (really minor) controversies this year. One was the "infamous" switch for the spring PVs. (You can read my reaction here, but I must warn you that I was going off of secondhand sources so take what I day with a grain of salt). The other was her weight loss around the time of their summer release. (Like Rihoriho, I kinda feel sorry for Zukki for the fact that these kerfuffles are completely out of her control.)
As of this writing, Kanon has been an MC of Hello! Station five times for the following installments: 25, 26, 75, 92, 114
Nine Singles In…
Here are some PVs from their ninth single as full-fledged Morning Girls, Brainstorming/Kimi Sae Ireba Nani mo Iranai, released on April 17, 2013. (Unfortunately, this was Tanaka Reina's graduation single.) Quoted mini-reviews come from the 2013 post in the Ping Pong Pinpoint: Precision Past Perspective series.
The first A-side is Brainstorming (which has the unfortunate distinction of having an unfortunate short version that was the stuff of jokes). There's not much to say here. I do like the Girls form an "M" after every chorus.
Music-wise… remember when I said the "Wakuteka Take a chance" was the "Revenge of One Two Three"? (Rather, I said "Password is 0" is the revenge of "Take a chance.") Well, "Brainstorming" is the
true"Revenge of Wakuteka." Seriously. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, really…. Really….
The second A-side is
2000 People on the Dance FloorKimi Sae Ireba Nani mo Iranai. Once again, we see our Morning Girls in… a set. Their outfits is also reminiscent of Onna ni Sachi Are and Pyoko Pyoco Ultra, but less overdone. The choreography… pay attention to that, guys. It is a foreteller of things to come? What am I talking about? Just a wait a few months…
The most recent performance is during the spring tour, Morning Musume '15 Concert Tour Haru ~GRADATION~. Since the DVD just came out (like "'last week' just came out"), there's no high-quality footage of this on the Internet (as of this writing). (On that note, buy the DVD! Support H!P and all that.)
So you'll have to make do this performance from Hello! Project Yaon Premium Live ~Soto Fest~ in May 2013. (I apologize for the outro of the video, but it was the best I could find with both songs.):
Just so you know, the 9th Gen are on their 15th single as of July 2015.
How far have they come?
Much. Zukki always was a favorite and was given a center role in a single with "Oh my wish!" With Mizuki's promotion to leader, we have entered the Strongest Era. Coupled with Riho being in the spotlight (and I'm being neutral about this), Ikuta having visible exposure, and Zukki's dark horse status ensured that this is an era to remember.
As of today, they would have been members for 1711 days, today being their 1712th. That 4 years, 8 months, 7 days.
The Party Continues!
The celebration of the Ice Fairies is continuing on over on the Tumblr blog. Feel free to take a look! (It'll only last until Thursday at 8:00AM Eastern time. Then again, to a "true" ⑨th Gen fan, it definitely won't end then.)
On an unrelated note, if you're knowledgeable/nostalgic about the 80's (particularly in J-idol terms), feel free to take a look at this little discussion from the Tumblr blog.
Until next time! Stay frosty. 😉
— Magi-Kat

After intense violence that surged in Tunis since nightfall on Saturday, a deceptive calm descended on the Tunisian capital on Sunday amid attempts by politicians to cobble together a national unity government.
But with the collapse on Friday of the 23–year-old Tunisian dictatorship, following President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali's hasty exit to Saudi Arabia, the focus of attention has been on the likely return of violence brought about by possible clashes between the police, loyal to the departed dictator and the military, widely viewed as neutral and popular, say analysts.
It was evident that regime symbols were the focus of Saturday's rioting. In the Tunis neighbourhood of Cite Habib, the villa belonging to nephew of Mr. Ben Alis's second wife, Leila Trablesi was torched.
Businesses owned by the Ben Ali family were also targeted. The Tunis branch of Zeitouna bank founded by Mr. Ben Ali's son-in-law was burnt down. The dealership showrooms owned by Mr. Ben Ali's son-in-law, Mohamed Sakher El Materi, of Kia, Fiat and Porsche vehicles were also torched. AFP reported on Sunday that Imed Trabelsi, a nephew of Mr. Ben Ali's wife, who had been stabbed on Saturday, has died in a Tunis military hospital where he was undergoing treatment. Police stations had also been set on fire — apparently a reflection of public anger against the police, which has been widely held responsible for the nearly 60 deaths which resulted during the course of the month long uprising.
Meanwhile, there have been a series of jail incidents over the week-end. In the coastal city of Monatsir scores of prisoners who had set ablaze a prison, hoping that they would be freed by the authorities were killed in the fire. More than a thousand escaped from another jail, south of Tunis.
Eyewitnesses have reported that squads of plainclothes men, widely suspected as regime loyalists, had been driving at top speed in the capital, randomly shooting at buildings and people. But on Sunday, tanks had been positioned around the capital and the Army, which had been deployed in strength, was guarding government buildings.
Amid acute uncertainty, senior politicians have begun an exercise to form a national unity government, pending fresh elections within 60 days. Fouad Mebezaa, Speaker of Parliament, who was elevated as interim President on Saturday has promised to form the new government which would include the opposition.
The larger fall-out of the Tunisian uprising has been the subject of much comment in the region. In comments posted over the Al Jazeera website, West Asia commentator Lamis Andoni said: "It [Tunisia's developments] is a warning to all leaders, whether supported by international or regional powers, that they are no longer immune to popular outcries of fury." However, in neighbouring Libya, President Muammar Qadhafi criticised the people for being too hasty in seeking Mr. Ben Ali's exit.

Despite the difficulties I'd been experiencing trying to find things to fit my lifestyle that were also gluten-free, I managed to stick to it for a week before giving in to some bread that I had been craving. I'd been feeling great, actually, so I was afraid I had just undone all the work of a week for several slices of carby heaven. Much to my delight, I continued feeling great despite the obviously glutenous mass of molecules I had consumed. Therefore, I have come to the self-assessed conclusion that my digestive and nutritive issues are purely IBS- and lactose-intolerance-related.
I can pretty much confirm the development of lactose intolerance from the fact that, having been able to stick to the no-milk thing, I've been feeling great. Then while in Reno on business a couple of days ago, I absentmindedly used some half-and-half in a cup of coffee only to be faced with tummy gurgles and bubbles not even half an hour later. So I am immensely thankful I can return to my general eating pattern aside from milk products. Sticking to soy I can definitely live with! I've actually grown to prefer it in my espresso drinks–a sugar-free caramel latte I had just earlier today was better with soy, in my opinion, than any I'd previously tasted thanks to the pleasant nuttiness to accompany the toasty sweetness.
Now, to savor my dinner of a tuna salad wrap–yum, gluten!! ;D

4. The Shilpas rejected it

For four days, from 7am to 6pm, the train travelled from Ooty to Coonoor and back. The train was stable only when it ran at a speed of 40kmph. Anything less than that caused the train to jerk and the crew to lose its balance. There were a number of sheer drops on either side and at times it got really dangerous when the trained slowed down to negotiate bends. Farah took some extra dancers in case some fell off the moving train. Fortunately, none did.

6. Technical benchmark
Image: India West
Dil Se.. bombed at the box office and Farah was shattered. But Chaiyya Chaiyya went on to become a technical benchmark for Bollywood song taking. Dancer in the Dark, a Swedish film, was shot on top of a train but had 72 cameras placed along the route. Chaiyya Chaiyya was shot with just one camera mounted on a crane and a steadicam operated by Farah and her assistant. They used to dive under a blanket when one of them was taking the shot since there was no other place to hide.

Silver Coast Surf
France's Silver Coast is dotted with a string of fabulous surf spots such as Lacanau, Arcachon, Biscarosse, Capbreton, Boucau and Hossegor, annual venue of the WCT Quiksilver Pro. Extending from the Gironde to the Adour estuary, this almost straight ruler on the Atlantic boasts 160 miles of uninterrupted sandy beach, ideal for surfing and bordered by dunes and pine forests. From Easter to All Saint's Day, the coast has the best potential for surf, with good unridden barrels and the steadiest swell anywhere in Europe.
The surfing quality of the wave is due to the depth and funnel shape of the Bay of Biscay, that rises abruptly in front of the coast, and the numerous small rivers and stream mouths dotting its length shaping good sand breaks. Due to the changing winds and the huge tidal range, the waves can evolve with incredible speed.
The sandbars orientation favor rights, while lefts tend to be very hollow because of the consistent North to South undertow. But the good sandbars can be destroyed by the winter storms and the main surfing problem is the lack of shelter when the sea gets rough.od sandbars can be destroyed by the winter storms and the main surfing problem is the lack of shelter when the sea gets rough.
