'This is why we play the game': Canada stuns Mexico at Little League World Series
Canadians will face Puerto Rico Tuesday in another must-win game in Williamsport
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., — With the bases loaded, the crowd roaring and Mexico down to their final out, Canada's pitcher Nate Colina caught a line-drive to secure a stunning 6-4 victory over the Mexicans at the Little League World Series on Monday night.
The capacity crowd erupted in Canadian celebration on one side and Mexican devastation on the other as the youngsters from Whalley, B.C., piled on top of one another on the mound.
Watch as Canada pulls off the upset over Mexico:
It's the first time Canada has defeated Mexico at the Little League World Series since 2012. Last year Mexico ended Canada's hopes at the annual baseball classic, and this year the team from Whalley returned the favour.
Canada now plays Puerto Rico in another elimination game Tuesday afternoon inside historic Lamade Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET.
"We know we have the support of everyone back home across the country, especially in our neck of the woods," head coach Mike Marino said.
"It's a good feeling. We're happy to be here and still playing baseball."
After Monday night's game, Nate Colina talked about what was going through his mind as he settled in to throw a pressure-packed pitch with the game on the line.
"I knew there were two outs, so I just had to keep it simple and focus on the batter," Colina said. "I just couldn't drop that ball when it was hit at me. Don't drop it."
The remarkable Canadian run continues in Williamsport. On Saturday night the team won a marathon thriller over Spain with a walk-off winner in the 10th inning.
Then they followed it up with this heart-stopping victory over Mexico — that moment in the last inning with the bases loaded for the Mexicans is something the coach won't soon forget.
"My heart was pounding and I'm sure everyone else's heart was pounding," Marino said.
"If you don't want to be in that moment, you shouldn't be playing. I looked around the dugout and thought, 'This is why we play the game.'"
It's a party in the stands as the Canadian parents go crazy after this thrilling victory. Proud bunch indeed. @cbcsports @CBCVancouver @WLLBALL pic.twitter.com/ZsYwy5XbFb—@Devin_Heroux
Coming up clutch
Canada was able to mount a massive lead early in the game thanks in part to a clutch triple by Kai Sheck.
With the bases loaded in the second inning and two out, Sheck delivered a triple to the right field wall, scoring three Canadian runs and opening up a 5-0 lead.
"It was pretty amazing being in that situation and hitting for your team. That was amazing. It was incredible," Sheck said.
Watching it all from the stands were the parents and grandparents of Sheck.
But maybe my favourite part of the night... when these Little Leaguers walked into the room for postgame interviews

"Whoaaa coooooool"

And then handled it like pros. pic.twitter.com/JpRJMrkdbK—@Devin_Heroux
His mom, Danna Sheck, was overrun with emotion when she watched her son deliver the key hit.
"Seeing the proud tears in my husband's eyes brings me back to all the countless hours that Kai and my husband, Levi, have spent in the batting cage in our backyard," Danna said. "Hard work does pay off. We are over-the-moon proud of our boy."
Staying cool under pressure
With Canada up just two runs and the Mexicans applying pressure in the final inning with the bases loaded, the coaches called a timeout.
It was at that point that Canadians Jordan Jaramillo and Dio Gama had a chat at second base.
"I asked Dio if he was nervous and he said he was," Jaramillo said. "So I told him there was no need to be nervous. This is just baseball."
The two went back to their positions and settled into their defensive stances. It was right after that talk Colina made the catch to win the game for Canada.
"We are all so excited right now," Jaramillo said. "Mexico is a good team, but we felt pretty confident going into this game."
And how are they celebrating?
"Pizza," coach Marino said. "We had it after our win against Spain, so we'll stick with what's working."

Sverdrup Steel is the first company in the world that has two Thor 5 saws from Pegas.
After having recived our first Thor 5 saw from Pegas in late 2018, Sverdrup Steel quickly recognized the benefits we got from this state of the art CNC saw.
That is why we are extremly happy to have our second saw in place in Stavanger. With record high activity on both the domestic and export market the on time delivery of our second Thor5 from Pegas could not have come at a better time.
In the picture you can see the start of a cut on an Alloy 718 Dia 485 mm bar. In 3,5 hours the cut will be done and it is on to the next.
We are very happy with the service and the delivery from Pegas and AIL.
In the next couple of years Sverdrup Steel with continously upgrade our eqipment, and for the choice of saw they has strenghten their brand and reputation through deliveries of the two saws and the preformance they are giving.

There are many places in the Canadian arctic to witness the migration of Barren Land Caribou. Perhaps the best is at Ennadai Lake in the Kivalliq Region of present-day Nunavut, approximately 700 kilometers northeast of Yellowknife. Located on the fringe of the tree line, sparse black spruce and tamarack abound, stunted by harsh winds and dry summers. The area is the departure and terminus of the annual migration of the Qamanirjuaq herd whose numbers are estimated to exceed 300,000.
The consensus is that the migration in this area is best viewed in March or early April as the caribou travel in large numbers east to the coast of Hudson's Bay, then north to their calving grounds. Alternatively, late summer and early fall can also be good but the Caribou return in smaller groups to their winter range in the tree line. As mentioned above, spring herds are more concentrated and the late winter conditions make great backdrops. The area is flat and easy to traverse but requires boat travel in the fall to spot migrating groups. As you would expect, herd movement attracts predatory wildlife, including Wolves, Grizzly Bear, Black Bear and Wolverines.
We decided on an early September visit, staying at the Arctic Haven Wilderness Lodge. We hoped this would afford us the opportunity to not only photograph Caribou in dramatic fall colors but also the aurora borealis on clear evenings.
We knew there would be little bird life in the area at this time of year. However, we did encounter Gray Jay, Harris's and White-Crowned Sparrow around the lodge. We were also surprised to see a Red Squirrel that we felt shouldn't have been this far north. They are apparently abundant but at the limit of their North American range. The dominant fall colors of crimson red (bear berries), vibrant yellow and orange (dwarf birch and larch), emerald green (crow berries) and light gray ground cover (caribou lichen) didn't disappoint us. Black "witches hair" dangled from the spruce trees, adding further character to what is a harsh landscape.
You should be aware that controlling light variation can be problematic. Photographing bracketed High Dynamic Range images is challenging as wind of varying intensity often hounds your every step.
As mentioned above, the fall return is widespread and much less concentrated than in the spring making it difficult to locate animals. As you can also appreciate, photographing from a boat even on a calm day is a tough business. Success requires at least a 600mm lens coupled with a 2X teleconverter and a camera body that can autofocus this lens arrangement. When a lone individual or small group is located, you'll be left working with what you're given as positioning for light and background is often not an option.
As you can appreciate, the tundra is thousands of square kilometers dotted at this time of year with small to large water bodies where land passage spans rocky to spongy wet terrain or shallows where the animals can ford. Finding Caribou in the fall is often like locating the proverbial needle in a haystack. The migration is also weather dependant and if warm can occur much later than expected. Nonetheless, there is never a lack of scheduled, interesting activities with experienced and knowledgeable guides. We enjoyed hiking the various terrains, especially the eskers and ridges that coughed up spectacular tundra panoramas. The lodge accommodations and meals were first class. In addition, the aurora was nothing less than phenomenal and could be easily captured using the lake or surrounding lodge structures as foreground. To see how we fared, you can view our images in Gallery 96.

Due to the discovery of our impending family growth spurt our wedding plans were brought forward by almost a year, and with only about a month for the planning and preparation. We also wanted to do it with a very small budget as we are also in the process of moving house, and new arrivals require no small expense.
So while pregnant, house hunting and holding down a full time job I decided it would be a great idea to do it all myself, with a little help from the rather patient Chris!
Our wedding was a very simple affair, the ceremony was at the registry office and the reception was at our rather
small cosy home. Most registry offices only seem to allow 2 witnesses, but we are fortunate that Taunton allows for 15 witnesses for no extra fee. This was just enough for our parents and siblings, so made the guest list very short, simple and with no way to offend anyone not invited!
The reception was also very small due to the space restrictions of our home, we had only a small number of close friends who were entirely outnumbered by our excessive family!
We spent the month before preparing food and filling freezers, both of ours and my mums! And were lucky to have help from my siblings on the night before the wedding with the final preparation. We also designed and printed the wedding stationary, made and decorated our cake, did the flowers, made the wedding favours, made oathing stones and a ring bearers box. (There will be more posts with details.)
The day was perfect, it was simple and rustic, and went with just the one hitch. It was about our family, and the people who are as special to us as family. It was the way we wanted with no pressure or expectations from anyone else.

Alan Brown receives AV Preeminent® Peer Review rating
Tyler, TX - June 13, 2016 - Ramey & Flock, P. C.
announced it has received notification from Martindale-Hubbell that Alan Brown has received a Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Rating™. Alan Brown was given an "AV" rating from his peers, which means that he was deemed to have very high professional ethics and preeminent legal ability. Only lawyers with the highest ethical standards and professional ability receive a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating. The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings evaluates lawyers based on the anonymous opinions of members of the Bar and the Judiciary, including both those who are rated and those who are not. The first review to establish a lawyer's rating usually occurs three years after his/her first admission to the Bar. Martindale-Hubbell conducts secure online Peer Review Ratings surveys of lawyers across multiple jurisdictions and geographic locations, in similar areas of practice as the lawyer being rated. Reviewers are instructed to assess their colleagues' general ethical standards and legal ability in a specific area of practice. The Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ help buyers of legal services identify, evaluate and select the most appropriate lawyer for a specific task at hand. The confidentiality, objectivity and complete independence of the ratings process are what have made the program a unique and credible evaluation tool for members of the legal profession. The legal community values the accuracy of lawyer peer review ratings because they are determined by their peers - the people who are best suited to assess the legal ability and professional ethics of their colleagues. Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings were created in 1887 as an objective tool that would attest to a lawyer's ability and professional ethics, based on the confidential opinions of other lawyers and judges who have worked with the lawyers they are evaluating.

Encoding has actually changed very little since 60fps became a thing. Well I suppose you can encode 1440p60 now lol. Shame to see you aren't able to get the time to play games, I understand exactly what you are going through.Happy New... well, May xD It's not the case that I don't want to return. It's more of a no longer having the time. Started working, GF moved to live with me. No time to even play honestly ANY game either. I want to finish Dragon Age: Inq, Fallout 4, Witcher 3, AC: Syndicate, Dying Light and so many other games. But haven't touched a game for months now.
I also no longer capable helping out people with the encoding or recording issues since my absence was way too big. Encoding on YouTube changed a lot. Back when the last time I posted 60 fps on YouTube was only a rumour. And now it's long since a reality. I imagine encoding changed a lot too.
Best of luck to you guys, hope you have a fantastic things happening in your individual personal lives As for me, back to work
Don't forget 4k 60fps aswell, I have seen that a few times.Well I suppose you can encode 1440p60 now lol

This particular Slumbering Villager's talents don't exactly fall in the "songwriting" category, but this I know: unless you're the immortal Bongripper, creating compelling long-form instrumental doom is damn hard. Fuzz-ridden repetition, while a hallmark, is a blessing and a curse, and few outfits command the dynamism required to pull it off. The lack of vocals effectively guillotines a prime focal point. And we haven't even begun to mention the encroaching boredom that lurks sullenly at every turn. While there are always exceptions, doom of this ilk often goes on and on without ever saying anything interesting. Much like...well, much like this introduction. Really painted myself into a corner there.
NOMERA - Holos
Written by: Vattghern
Instrumental records are very risky. Either you master the craft and make it interesting and innovative enough, or the music fades into the uninspiring and generic abyss. Nomera kind of fall between these two categories (already making my statement a paradox). Holos is a short instrumental piece, with instrumentation reminiscent of prog and death metal. As short as the record, I'll try to make this review.
Nomera are trying hard to make their music not sound boring and repetitive, and the effort pays off in some moments. The synth is the strongest aspect of their sound,embracing sweet melodies that act as a nice contrast to the riff--and double bass--dominated sound. Unfortunately, between all the riffs and guitar leads, Nomera fail to provide big standout moments. There are some, don't get me wrong, but too many times parts are forgotten as soon as the next changeup comes into play. As a whole Holos lacks variety, while ironically having countless riffs and leads. After the 4th tapping lead, you kind of get the idea.
The production overall is solid, but I found the kick to be a little sharp in the whole mix.
If Nomera tries to tighten their songwriting,focus more on riffs that really matter, and polish their sound a bit, they could improve by a lot. As this is a debut I'm able to look over these weak spots, hoping for a better future for these guys, because there is potential. As is, Holos sadly fails to impress me in any one category.
GOLIATHAN - Albion
No matter how us prejudicial critics slice it, it seems that LA's own Goliathan are playing a dangerous game. Modern doom, plus post-rock, sans vocals. Given each genre's proclivity for repetition--even with the benefit of vocals to break up the monotony--this Sleeping Villager's first assumption was not, in fact, that Goliathan writes a particularly dynamic brand of metal. But man, was I ever wrong. Their 2017 EP, entitled Awakens, shot first & never bothered to ask questions, utterly smoking expectations in the process. Albion, released yesterday from Metal Assault Records, only reaffirms Golithan's profound ability to create nuanced & cutting-edge music. I'm just going to state the obvious: Albion is an absolute Goliath of a sophomore effort.
The titular track is equal parts harrowing & hooky, with a sludgy, crunching tone that blossoms, in the second half, into an ambient passage before closing back in. A toothy bite, if ever there was, with substantial care & thought apparent in the composition. While the driving theme recalls Scheidt at his zenith of aggression, Albion's willingness to explore & develop an idea beyond the obvious hard-rockin' extremities is strongly reminiscent of Boghaunter. While mere snippets indicate a lack of sonic cohesion, this track--indicative of the EP in general--flows with such a natural current that transitions simply...happen, without making an announcement first. Golithan are clearly accomplished instrumentalists, but the main takeaway here is that their songwriting chops are top-tier.
As good as the intro track is at setting the stage, Vaalbara is the true crown jewel. Starting off with an intense low end, with hollow drums & no-nonsense bass, Vaalbara employs a motif that feels nearly Smashing Pumpkins-esque in its hooky delivery. There's something timeless about the central riff--& indeed, something timeless about the guitar across the entire effort. Simple yet layered, driving yet hypnotic. Goliathan writes rockin' riffs, plain & simple, & their dual guitar-driven melodic overtones are so effortless that the lack of vocals never--& I mean actually never--feels like a hindrance. Album closer Aberration is a bit of an odd duck, but adds a necessarily derivation from the established formula. This piece is a proggy, multifaceted piece of paranoia is an upwards, sweat-inducing climb that simultaneously recalls the jarring angularity of the title track, but still manages to leaves one far from where the album began. If that isn't a measure of a work's ability to represent a journey while remaining tied to thematic roots, I don't know what is. Goliathan know what they are doing, & they do it inordinately well. In this arena (and, frankly, in all arenas) Albion is markedly consistent, and a genuinely beautiful sonic experience.
At the end of the day, vocals, or lack thereof, don't define the band. This is a trap I have fallen into far too often, but Goliathan has shown me--twice now--the error of these unfortunate ways. It is not genre tags that determine the quality of a musical project, but rather the dedication and passion of the respective musicians. For a band that continues to surprise, this only foretells equally great things to come. From a critical perspective, the only downside is the brevity, but the smartest artists always leave a ravished audience hungry for more. Albion comes highly, highly recommended.
Albion was released yesterday, November 16th, from Metal Assault Records.

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea is feeling smug about its political system, gloating about how millions around the world have rallied in the biggest protests against capitalism in 300 years.
The world's most closed and secretive country, which officially ditched communism in favour of a military-first ideology in 2009, ran a story on Tuesday under the headline "Capitalism has no future" on its state-run news agency KCNA.
"The only way out of the present crisis facing the capitalist world is to root out its system. Capitalism is fading away from history as it exploits people and is forsaken by them."
It added: "It is impossible for the Western countries to get rid of the evil cycle of crisis as long as the capitalist market economy is left as it is."
KCNA has run a series of stories on the financial crisis which has gripped much of the world in recent months, and in a separate article applauded the "struggle of the working masses" in the weekend "Occupy Wall Street" protests around the world.
"The Occupy Wall St movement was an eruption of the exploited classes' pent-up wrath at the exploiters," it said, decribing the protests "as the biggest organised ever in history of capitalism spanning more than 300 years".

On a recent Sunday, as I was picking up my mother for church, we heard gunshots in the woods next to their assisted living residence, even though hunting is illegal on Sundays and those woods are clearly posted "no hunting."
Not long after, a bullet went through the window of an apartment above my parents'. Fortunately, the man inside was not in the line of fire, but he could have been killed. And if the bullet had taken a different trajectory, it could have killed my mother, who always sits in her window.
Hunters, I'm talking to you. Teach yourself gun safety and practice it. Learn the Massachusetts hunting laws and follow them. And above all, don't shoot unless you've clearly identified your target. I know from experience while walking my dog that gun laws are widely ignored, but they exist for a good reason.
A man in New York state recently ignored state law about hunting hours, mistook his neighbor for a deer without confirming, and killed her. He and the woman's loved ones will have to live with that tragedy forever. Don't be that guy. Don't kill my mother.

Delaware is a 150 credit hour state just like most other states. You do not have to complete the total 150 credit hours before you are eligible to sit for the exam. As long as you have graduated with an accredited bachelor's degree and completed at least 120 college semester hours, you are all set to take the exam.
Let's take a look at what you need to do to take the exam and get licensed.
Delaware CPA Exam Requirements
In order to be eligible to sit for the exam in Delaware, candidates must meet the following personal qualifications and educational requirements.
- Must be at least 18 years or older
- Not required to be a US citizen
- Not required to be a DE resident
- Valid Social Security Number required
- DE does not participate in the International Examination Program
Educational Requirements to Sit
Delaware does not requires candidates to complete 150 hours before they take the exam, but 150 must be completed in order to get licensed. Before you take the exam, you'll have to meet the following.
Bachelor's Degree (120 credit hours) including the following:
- 24 credit hours in Accounting classes including financial accounting, auditing, and taxation.
Additional requirements can be fulfilled after you have taken and passed the exam.
Exam Fees
The total cost to take the CPA exam in Delaware is $874.08 including an initial one-time $145 application fee. The cost for each section is listed below.
|AUD – Audit
|FAR – Financial Accounting and Reporting
|BEC – Business Environment and Concepts
|REG – Regulation
The fees are typically based on the duration of the exam. That's why the FAR and AUD exams cost the most.
IMPORTANT – Don't go all out and register for all the sections at once. Your NIT or notice to sit is only valid for six months. After that, it will expire and you will have to re-register. Re-registration application fees are $75 for one section and vary depending on how many your sign up for at once, so only sign up for the exams that you are ready to sit for in the next 6 months.
CPA License Requirements
Taking the exam is only the first step in becoming a CPA in the state of Delaware. After you sit for the big test, there are a few administrative things you must do before you can truly call yourself a Certified Public Accountant. Here is the basic process.
Pass the Exam
You'll have to pass all four sections of the exam with a score of at least 75 in an 18-month period.
Submit all the required paperwork to the state board usually includes transcripts, license application, and proof of work experience.
Pay the $100 certification fee when you send in your initial license application.
Ethics Exam
Take and pass the AICPA Professional Ethics exam (found on the AICPA website)
Additional Education
150 credit hours must be completed including:
- 24 hours of accounting
Work Experience Requirements
Delaware changed their work experience requirements in 2012. The new rules are less complicated and more reasonable to fulfill. Before you get your official license, you'll have to complete the following:
1-year of experience in Public Accounting, Private Industry, or Governmental Accounting supervised by a current CPA
More Exam Resources and Information
The entire process of applying, taking the exam, and sending your paperwork can be quite an involved, especially if you attended more than one college. Since you have to show proof of your education, you'll have to send in transcripts from every college you've attended. This can be a pain.
A lot of times it's easier to contact the state board directly to see what they already have on file and what they need to complete your application. For example, sometimes your test scores aren't received by the state even if you requested a copy be sent to them in your exam application process. It's a good idea to contact them directly to confirm they have everything they need.
Here is the contact info for the state board.

Veteran journalist Tom Stites has held editor positions at The New York Times, The Chicago Tribute, and The Kansas City Times. While a fellow of Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society in 2010-2011, Stites developed the business plan for the Banyan Project, an organization aimed at creating a sustainable and scalable business model for online journalism. Among those projects is the launch of Haverhill Matters, the pilot program for new reader-owned news co-ops. The Banyan Project is currently running a crowdfunding campaign through Spot.us.
Ebyline talked to Stites about his vision for news co-ops, potential revenue models for co-ops, and more. An edited version of that conversation follows:
Haverhill, Mass. is a middle-income community that lost its daily newspaper and radio station, as you mention in one of your Nieman Lab posts. But that description could fit a lot of communities in the United States. Are there other reasons that you settled on Haverhill as your pilot community?
Yes, there are all these news deserts, and they're spreading. What I was looking for was a place within about a 45-minute driving radius of where I live, so that I could have my hands on it whenever I needed to. I was also looking for a place that had a real sense of identity. I set the arbitrary number of about 20,000 English-speaking households, and that drastically reduces the number of possibilities. The reason I wanted that many is because this is the first one, and I wanted a lot of room for learning curve mistakes.
That's why I ended up at Haverhill, and it's turned out to be a real boon. It's a terrific community, and the people there are gobbling it up.
Is there a timeline for when it might launch?
No, we've hit a couple of speed bumps, both of them because of illnesses. The chair of the Haverhill organizing committee has had to step aside due to illness. The National Cooperative Business Association had, at its expense, furnished us with a cooperative business development expert. This is a consultant whose deep experience is in starting new cooperatives, and particularly cooperatives that take a new form, as this one does. She has been taken ill, and NCBA is now quickly rounding up somebody new, but they haven't named them yet.
At the same time, none of us has ever started a cooperative before. I've started for-profit businesses, and I've also done entrepreneurial things within the non-profit sector, but this is new, so to have that expertise gives us all a lot more confidence.
My guess is that instead of September, which is what we had hoped to be the kickoff time, I think we're now talking first of the year. What I want to do is talk to the new co-op consultant and see how fast he or she can work.
Who will write for the pilot program in Haverhill or other co-ops in the future?
Almost all content of Haverhill Matters and other Banyan-affiliated sites will be written by local writers. And already some independent reporters who yearn to bring better journalism to their communities are expressing interest in organizing Banyan-affiliated co-ops to do so. If you're interested, please get in touch now. No more sites will be launched till the Haverhill pilot is up and running, but Banyan is exploring new relationships.
The plan that we have is to create a community institution that will support itself and endure. The co-op expert needs to bless this for me to be absolutely confident, but the plan is to have a full-time general manager and a community organizer person whose job it is to make sure that the community is engaged in this. That includes the businesses, as well as the people and the institutions.
The second full-time employee would be the editor, and the editor would ideally be someone from the community. It doesn't mean that we can do that in every community, but Haverhill with 61,000 people, we're pretty confident we'll be able to find somebody there. The community college has several people there with significant journalistic experience in the community.
That's one layer. Then we expect to have all kinds of community people involved. In a city the size of Haverhill, there are 11 communities that have or have had at different times neighborhood associations. We're looking to have a correspondent at every one of those neighborhoods. There would be other sort of beat people who would be in the community and who are concerned with the environment or the arts or whatever.
Every one of these people that I'm describing to you will be members of the co-op.
I've been imagining this from the beginning as a reader-owned enterprise. It essentially will be. That hasn't really changed, but there are other kinds of co-ops. There are producer co-ops, meaning worker co-ops owned by the workers. What about business members? You wouldn't be able to advertise unless you're a member of the co-op, and what would that look like? What would they get if they pay more to get a membership?
We're working through all of that stuff, but we've come to the conclusion that the accountability of the editor to the readers is what really matters and not the accountability of the editor to the other employees or the accountability of the editor to the business community.
What format do you see this taking? Will this be a daily print publication, an online publication, an iPad publication?
I think that it will initially be an online and smartphone device. The software that forms the basis of what we're doing is extremely flexible for that and also for any other platform, including tablets.
Your website lists six sources of revenue. First is membership fees, and second is advertising. Traditional publications have really struggled with advertising, so how might news co-op approach it differently?
Without nearly as much ambition, because it's not so crucial. If you've got a broader number of revenue streams, advertising doesn't mean as much. These would be more like sponsorships. It certainly isn't going to be full of ad words. For one thing, you have very limited control over what you get from real ad words and from any number of other outfits that supply advertising.
This whole idea started with a value proposition. We saw the newspapers, in particular, almost all "crumbling" since five years ago, six years ago. By that time, they'd lost huge amounts of the trust that people placed in them over the 15 years. A bunch of us talked about this, and we came up with the value proposition that people will want your journalism if they experience it as being relevant to their lives, respectful of them as people, and worthy of their trust. Most of the journalism that gets written is really written in policy wonk political style which tends to be very abstract and not particularly relevant to people's lives.
The question is how do you get relevance? Well, if you start there, you can listen more carefully to your readers, and if you're accountable to them, it's much easier to get to relevance. It just seems like a no-brainer.
If you allow advertising you can't control, it pays a pittance, which is what Google Ads and their brethren do. What's the point? So, you just don't do that, but if your advertisers are business members of the cooperative, and they've bought into the idea, and they've paid their money, they're going to understand the value of where they're advertising. They're going to see that the advertising environment is relevant, respectful, and trustworthy, and it's a good place to have your ads.
Then we've got some other revenue streams on top of that. We're looking at an overall budget of $175,000 or a little more. We're getting there. We see this as possible, and we're not predicting a fancy slam dunk in the first year. That would be nuts, but the fact is we see it as possible, and with enough diligence, we'll figure out how to do it.

The Showa Files2 Upvotes10 RepliesUpvoteAdd A Reply
G. H. (Gman) #TeamGhidorah
I'll be honest. I really don't have a great interest in fan fiction. At least no these days, but there was a time when I did.
Very recently I was going through some old external hard drives and I found one that had a slew of stuff left over from my old Hewlet Packard Windows 95. (To this day I miss the simplicity of the Windows 95 operating system...) In any case what I found on there was some old Godzilla fan fiction. I dubbed them "The Showa Files". I don't remember why, I was most likely ripping off The X-Files' title.
They were a bunch of individual side-stories that took place during the Showa Godzilla series and filled in gaps between movies. I've decided to post these dated tales just for the hell of it. But I'm not going to all at once.
Just so I don't completely embarrass myself I'm going to go through each one and fix spelling/grammar issues as well as some in-universe factual problems, which means re-writing just a handful of paragraphs. Then I'll post them now and again whenever I have free time or am as sick as a dog like I have been this weekend. I've fixed the first story, one of my favorites. Enjoy.
Caught in a daze of deja vu, Glenn watched as the surface grew closer. The gleaming browns and blues from the planet's orbit were starting to focus into the pale brown he knew from his original visit. This would be his third trip to Planet X and it came with sense of dread. It wasn't the fear of resistance, which was most assuredly waiting for him, or even the possibility of King Ghidorah blowing him out of the sky. It was--
"Glenn, are you okay?"
Fuji knew him better than anyone. It's likely he knew what was troubling Glenn, but the inquiry wasn't made for a confession. It was blurted to keep Glenn on task.
"Yeah, I'm good." Glenn flipped a switch. "Just can't believe this piece'a junk got us here slower than the P1."
"You heard the Doctor," Fuji replied, "Resources are limited back home. This will probably be the last long range ship for years."
Glenn grimaced at the response. Fuji was right. Their profession was in danger after the war with Planet X. Major resources were being drained to repair the damage. This very well could be the last exploratory mission for years. Maybe decades. But this mission had to happen regardless. The intent was to engage in peaceful dialogue between themselves and the People of Planet X. Glenn glanced back at the massive weapons cache behind them. Or maybe the real goal was to make sure they were no longer a threat.
"This is the P2, do you read?" Fuji was already in contact with home. Glenn focused his attention back on his instruments. "We're ready to land. Over."
Fuji's report was cleared with militant discretion--A contrast to the jubilation from their initial visit. Glenn continued to follow through with the procedures as the P2 came to a bumpy landing.
"I gotta' say, I miss the P1..." Glenn groaned, unbuckling his restraints.
"Which one? The original or the replica?" Fuji grinned. The humor was lost on Glenn.
"I'll take the original Earth bucket over this and that stickin' X copy!"
Glenn pushed out of his seat and began arming himself with a pistol and the newly issued rifle. In addition to an energy clip the rifle was armed with a sonic pulse that replicated Tetsuo's alarm system. Glenn thought about the kid for a moment.
"You given Tetsuo your blessing yet?" He grinned. This time the humor was lost on Fuji. "Ah, see? Can't take a little ribbing?"
"Of all the people she had to fall for--"
"Your sister had to fall for the guy who saved the world!" Glenn cut Fuji off, "must be a drag!" He laughed.
Fuji finished arming himself and lowered the lever for the elevator. He cut his eyes at Glenn without any comeback and gave him a thumbs down. Smirking, Glenn could only shake his head inside the bulky helmet.
Once the two had reached the surface of Planet X they began looking for one of the entrances. It didn't take long. Staying close to one another, both Glenn and Fuji noticed several of the ground elevators deployed and seemingly dead. They approached one only halfway out of the ground and completely inoperable.
"Do you think there's another way in?" Fuji asked.
"Gotta' be..." Glenn replied, looking in the distance. He pointed to a large plateau with a gap in the center. "Over there, look..."
Both astronauts marched forward around some large pillars, broken and charred; they recognized the area.
"This is..." Fuji began.
"Where Godzilla and Rodan landed. Right. See that?" Glenn pointed.
Fuji looked up at an opening in a plateau. It was an entrance for the saucers. However, like the elevators, it no longer looked operational.
"Think we can get in through there?" Glenn looked at a very apprehensive Fuji. Without reply they both carefully moved forward.
The climb to the saucer entrance took over an hour, but once the opening was reached the terrain was far more favorable.
"Lights." Fuji reminded and turned on a headlamp connected to his helmet. The light on his rifle switched on as well. Glenn did the same. "What do you think happened?"
Glenn shook his head. Although the tunnel was artificial, pieces of it were coming apart. It was as if debris had been blown in from the outside. The astronauts maneuvered around trashed alien technology as they journeyed further into the darkness. Before long they reached a saucer bay. What few saucers were left had been badly damaged. Computers that once blinked multiple colors were silent and inert.
"It's like they were attacked." Fuji looked at the charred debris and ruins.
"I got a bad feeling, Fuji..." Glenn aimed his rifle at the ruins of the saucer bay.
"Well at least you haven't run into her yet..." Fuji's words weren't so much to lighten the mood, but a matter of fact. When he looked over at Glenn he hoped to see some relief out of him.
Glenn's feelings were mixed. On the one hand seeing in number of the X women who all looked like Namikawa would be infuriating. On the other hand it would be nice to see her face again. He couldn't decide whether he was relieved or not.
"Over here!" Glenn found an entrance way. A light gleamed at the end. He dared not go down it without Fuji's back-up. "Think it's a trap?"
Fuji squinted as he looked down the familiar corridor. He pointed his rifle down it and slowly pushed forward. "You know I originally objected to being sent on a diplomatic mission like this. I thought the Doctor was just blowing smoke when he said it was because you and I had the most experience."
"Figure they knew it wasn't going to be cake walk." Glenn replied. "That's why they sent us." He wasn't bitter about the decision. In fact the thought of someone else coming in his stead sounded like a mission failure. He wasn't thrilled to be back on Planet X, but he didn't trust anyone else to survive it either.
As they entered the room with the blinking light they realized what they had been heading toward. It was the control room--Or another room just like it. The main console had a slow blinking bulb on top of it. It was emitting just enough light to illuminate the bulk of the area, albeit, dimly.
"What is it?" Glenn looked at the console.
"I don't know." Fuji rounded the table and reached for it. Just as he did a voice cracked through the air making him jump.
"Step away from the console!"
Glenn knew the voice. As his face tightened he dreaded turning around. Slowly, he adjusted himself until the visor of his helmet revealed the face of a beautiful Japanese girl. Namikawa. Except she wasn't Namikawa. She wasn't even Japanese. She was simply a product of the Planet X lifestyle. One he refused to be open minded about.
The female trained her gun on the two. "Both of you, drop your weapons and move over there..." she pointed to the side of the room with her pistol.
Glenn looked back at Fuji with a very cross face. Both gave each other a thumbs down and slowly placed their rifles on the floor.
"The pistols as well."
Glenn and Fuji removed their hand guns and dropped them to the floor before holding their hands up and stepping against the wall. The female Xian watched them with a certain hatred in her eyes. Glenn couldn't be sure, but if she was anything like Namikawa he could tell she blamed them for Planet X's current state.
"How could you. You destroyed it all!" she held her gun firmly at the Earthlings.
"You're the ones who attacked Earth. We were just defending ourselves." Fuji countered.
"Defending?" she shot back, "We were beaten. You crippled our military, but that wasn't enough was it?"
Glenn's brow furrowed, "What?"
"You know exactly what I'm talking about." she began to spiral into hysterics, "You controlled Monster Zero and annihilated everything on our planet!"
Fuji dropped his hands, "Now hold on--" He was cut off when the alien regained composure and trained her gun closer on him.
"Listen baby, we broke your control of the monsters, but we had no way of pulling the strings ourselves." Glenn finished Fuji's sentiment, "The last time we saw King Ghidorah he left Earth."
"You're lying!" she yelled.
"Not a chance."
"You're here to make sure we're all dead."
"That's not it."
"Don't lie to me Earthling!"
"I would never lie to you--" Glenn failed to catch himself as he looked away from her. Fuji did a quick take at him before looking back at the girl's confused expression.
"Then why are you here?" she asked, suspiciously.
Glenn sighed. He looked at Fuji to answer this one. "We came to discuss a peace treaty," Fuji replied. "We didn't expect to find you in such bad shape."
"Is that why you brought weapons?"
Glenn couldn't help but laugh. The female turned her gun on him now. "Why do you laugh?"
"Because you make a fair point, baby." Glenn stepped forward, intimidating her enough to back away. "Listen we don't know what happened here, but we're willing to help and right now it doesn't look like you're in a position to say no. Now where's the rest of your people."
She refused to take her gun off Glenn. She took a long pause before replying, "I am the last."
Glenn's back stiffened in shock. He looked back at Fuji whose chin had dropped in his helmet. "You mean you're the only one who survived?"
"Correct." She answered, coldly.
"What's you're name?" Glenn asked with some warmth in his voice.
"I'm Glenn, this is Fuji." He paused, "can you do me a favor and put that gun down so we can figure out what's goin' on?"
18999 considered it for a moment, but Glenn somehow knew she was going to lower the weapon. He knew that look. He knew how to read her. He also knew that she blamed him for the eradication of her people.
18999 didn't trust Glenn or Fuji enough to give them their weapons back, but she did let them inspect data from the post-war. Unfortunately the computer didn't have enough power to include visual data, only enough to infer that King Ghidorah had attacked Planet X--Audio waves were giving him commands.
"I've never seen this before." Fuji was perplexed by the method of monster control, "It's not as sophisticated as how the People of Planet X did it, but equally effective. Maybe more so."
"You think Dr. Sakurai might be able to give us any hints?" Glenn asked.
"It's possible. I'll have to bring the data to him."
"Then he won't be able to see it." 18999 interrupted behind the astronauts. "You're prisoners of Planet X. If your scientists are to inspect our data he will have to--"
"Baby look around you! You're all that's left of Planet X!" Glenn snapped, "Don't you feel anything? Aren't you the least bit rattled that you're the last of your kind?"
18999's composure was certainly shaken by Glenn's words and he could tell. She was determined not to give in. "I-- I am a citizen of Planet X. We follow orders from our machines--"
"What machines?" Glenn blurted, "That blinking light barely powering this control console?" Glenn could tell he was starting to get through to 18999. Then she violently shook her head and quickly pulled her weapon on Glenn.
"You are prisoners of Planet X! Don't bother escaping or you will be eliminated."
Glenn contorted his mouth into a scowl and joined Fuji on the floor against the control console. Fuji looked at the air meter on his glove and tapped Glenn. After taking a glance at his own meter Glenn looked back at 18999. "In two more hours you won't have any Prisoners of Planet X. Consider that for your mighty state!"
18999 glanced at the blinking light in consideration. She hadn't thought the oxygen through. Earthlings needed it. Glenn was confident he had read her up to this point, but now he was off. This was not Namikawa. He needed to stop pretending it was Namikawa. Yet, as the air started to thin in his helmet, she was all he could think about.
He only had a few weeks with Namikawa before those stinkin' rats executed her for treason. The happy moments that replayed in his head felt more realistic the deeper he thought of them. It was like she was coming into focus. Glenn envisioned her unsnapping his helmet and pulling it off. Once it was free a wealth of air entered his lungs. It wasn't Namikawa. Nor was it a dream. 18999 had rerouted energy from the computer terminal to supply the room with oxygen.
"Thanks baby," Glenn coughed. He watched her take off Fuji's helmet as well. He was hunched over with his eyes closed. "Fuji?"
Glenn summoned a quick burst of energy and checked his friend's pulse.
"He'll live. He's unconscious." 18999 announced coldly.
Glenn sighed, "Right, it doesn't matter what condition we're in as long as you have prisoners for Planet X!" Being facetious didn't seem to affect her.
18999 knelt in front of Glenn, watching him curiously. "You said you'd never lie to me. Why did you say that?"
Glenn looked up at her, somewhat caught off guard. He glanced at the unconscious Fuji, knowing exactly what he'd be thinking if he were listening. Glenn waved his hand, "Nothing. You remind me of someone."
18999 tilted her head, "Earth women look like us as well?"
Glenn laughed, "No. No not an Earth woman."
"Then who?"
Glenn paused a moment. "She was a citizen of Planet X."
"You knew one of us?"
"Yeah," Glenn nodded. "Very well too. She sacrificed her life for me."
"Impossible. She would never go against her programming--"
"She did when she realized she wasn't a machine. She had free will, just like you."
"Free will?" 18999 looked more perplexed than enlightened, much to Glenn's chagrin.
"Yeah." Glenn nodded. "Choice."
18999 pursed her lips together, resisting the temptation of such a notion. She didn't have to try for too long. The room suddenly trembled and an explosion knocked sparks across the table. Fuji shook awake from the onslaught of debris.
"What's happening?" Fuji didn't even notice his helmet was off as he attempted to stand. Glenn helped him up while 18999 moved to the console. She rerouted power to a different portion of the panel and turned to look up at the damaged view screen. It flickered to reveal King Ghidorah firing his gravity beams at Planet X's surface.
"Earthlings must have detected the power I switched over for oxygen..." 18999 looked on, confused. "But why would they attack while you're still here?"
"Because we're not controlling it!" Glenn yelled, throwing Fuji's arm over his shoulder. "Can you shut off enough power so it won't attack?"
"It's too late! Whoever is controlling Zero knows I'm here."
Glenn grabbed Fuji's helmet and helped him clamp it on. "Then we need to move to our ship!"
At that point King Ghidorah struck the P2, leaving nothing but a smoldering crater in its place.
"Ah nuts..." Glenn muttered.
18999 considered alternatives for a moment. She looked at Glenn steadying Fuji. It was against the laws of Planet X to help enemies of the state. By all means she would have to be eliminated-- Right?
"There's another way!" she announced. "Hurry!" Glenn grabbed his helmet and followed her down a dark corridor, tugging Fuji along.
"Glenn, what's happening?" Fuji mumbled.
"I'll explain if we live." Glenn locked his helmet down and looked at his O2. There wasn't much left, but he hoped it would be enough.
They arrived in the saucer bay just before the corridor collapsed from King Ghidorah's relentless attack. 18999 ran to one of the less damaged saucers. It wasn't entirely in one piece, but it was in far better condition than the other transports.
"Get on!" 18999 ushered.
Once inside the three reached the control room and sat down. Fuji and Glenn removed their helmets and waited with baited breath for 18999 to take command of the saucer. Using her brain waves the ship came to life; flickering inconsistent light in its damaged state it fumbled through the bay's exit.
"We made it!" Fuji exclaimed.
"Zero's following us!" 18999 cautioned.
King Ghidorah had indeed spotted the saucer and was on a course to intercept. Although the saucer had a head start the space monster was not about to let its target go.
"Plotting a course for Planet Zero Three." 18999 announced, focusing on the control device. Glenn and Fuji eyed each other. Earth.
The hours that went by seemed like days due to fear of King Ghidorah's gravity beams cutting their escape short. Although the monster was lagging behind them, Glenn and Fuji could hear the thunder of Ghidorah's signature attack graze by ever so often.
As Earth came into view 18999 announced their arrival in 15 minutes. Fuji and Glenn couldn't help but sweat over the fact that King Ghidorah would be coming with them.
"What are we going to do about King Ghidorah?" Glenn looked at Fuji.
"We beat him twice..." He replied with false hope.
18999 looked at both Fuji and Glenn; their faces were emblematic of the impending doom they would face. The idea settled in the pit of her stomach. It was a feeling like none other. She knew what Monster Zero was capable of. Her eyes rested on Glenn. Unfortunately the moment of pondering left the ship vulnerable.
King Ghidorah's gravity beam grazed the hull of the ship during 18999's trance. The damage sent the saucer into a dive toward the Earth. Fuji and Glenn grunted as smoke and debris hit their faces.
"Hang on!" 18999 grit her teeth, focusing on steadying the ship into Earth's atmosphere. She grasped the control panel attempting to concentrate harder with the system.
As the damaged saucer reached the planet it steadied its descent and was able to land safely. The result was far less bumpy than both Fuji and Glenn had expected, but they didn't have much time to marvel over 18999's landing skills.
The three exited the saucer and immediately looked to the sky. A golden, three headed space demon was entering the atmosphere at a great speed. There was nothing they could do about it.
"Fuji, you've got to contact the Japanese government." Glenn spoke as if he were ready for a fight.
18999 looked at both men. They were willing to stand up to Monster Zero despite the odds. She wondered why.
Hearing his name from that voice was enough to sting him directly in the heart. He looked to the woman who had Namikawa's face.
"What did she sacrifice herself for?"
Glenn didn't understand why this conversation had to happen now. They needed to find a phone. Find authorities. Come up with a plan. Summon Mothra. Anything! Yet something clicked. He realized she wasn't asking for a tangible answer. She was searching for something beyond the rules of her dead people. He knew it was something that couldn't wait.
"Love." Glenn replied. "She wanted to experience love. There's no greater example of it than sacrifice." Feeling he had given a dutiful reply he returned his attention toward the planet exterminator.
18999 couldn't be bothered with Zero's terrifying image. Something inside her was different, curious and... rebellious. She glanced at Earth's dirt. It was lush and green, moist and full of life. Her eyes cut back at Glenn. Then, without notice, she turned and ran for the saucer's ramp.
"Wait!" Glenn ran after her in a fury. Fuji watched as the two took off. He immediately began chasing down his friend.
As 18999 flew up the ramp it was already closing. Believing he could make the gap in the saucer Glenn continued to sprint for her, but was tackled to the ground by Fuji.
"Glenn, no!" He grasped him by the waist and held him to the ground.
"What is she doing?" He yelled, as if an answer from Fuji would solve everything.
The two astronauts watched as the saucer took off and began its ascent. As King Ghidorah closed on the surface the saucer sped faster toward him. Before any of the three heads could recognize what was happening the ship blind-sided the monster and exploded on impact. A cloud of flames and smoke engulfed the three heads sending the golden monster into a momentary tailspin.
Glenn's jaw dropped at the sight. He watched as King Ghidorah whirled in confusion, steadied itself in the blue sky and, surprisingly, retreated into space. The threat was gone. And so was the last of an advanced race.
Days later Fuji and Glenn returned to Japan to give individual testimonies of the mission. Glenn sat outside of the briefing room with his hands folded in his lap. He adjusted his suit's tie as Fuji finally stepped out.
"How was it?" Glenn asked.
"Brutal, but nothing they can hold against us. Still, they're not happy about the P2."
"Yeah, well, they'll get over it." Glenn responded. Although he wasn't too keen on the fact it would be the last commissioned vessel for awhile. "What did you tell them about her?"
Fuji took a deep breath before answering. "I told them she saved us from King Ghidorah. She drove him away."
Glenn nodded, somberly.
"She wasn't Namikawa, Glenn." Fuji attempted to comfort.
"No, but she was the last of her kind. And I let her get killed."
"You know Glenn," Fuji continued, "I think you did her a favor. If she hadn't saved us or stopped King Ghidorah she might have never experienced what it was like to be free of Planet X's laws. She cleared the legacy of her people by saving all of us."
Glenn's chest rose heavily and fell deeply. He grinned. "Maybe."
Fuji smiled at his friend and pat him on the shoulder. "They're waiting for you."
As Glenn stood up he grabbed Fuji's attention once more. "Hey by the way, did Dr. Sakurai take a look at the waves controlling King Ghidorah?"
Fuji nodded, "Yeah. They were being played by an action tape coming from deep space."
"That's concerning. Do we have a source?"
"It's broad. Somewhere in the galaxy called Nebula M Space Hunter."

It's a shame Nick Adams died after Invasion of the Astro-Monster. I would have loved to see him return in later kaiju movies. At least the legacy of his most popular character in a kaiju film lives on through this fanfiction.
