Some of them aren't old enough to drive yet, but on the football field, they've been handed the keys to the Bishop Hendricken offense.
They're not exactly taking it slow.
The Hawks, who are 2-0 in league play and are ranked second in the Rhode Island Sports Media High School Football Poll, are led by their seniors. They set the tone, do a lot of the work in the trenches and anchor the defense.
But on offense, few seniors are touching the ball regularly. It's the youngsters – some that are really young – who have the ball in their hands.
"It's definitely a unique thing," said Hendricken head coach Keith Croft. "As a staff, it's something we haven't experienced in our five years here. But they're a talented group, and it's not just their talent. They have high football IQ's and they're very coachable. There are no egos. Nobody's demanding the ball. They're really fitting in well."
From the moment last season ended, Croft and his coaching staff knew the Hawks might be in for a youth movement. They lost a lot of talent from their Super Bowl team and had strong sophomore and freshmen classes rising up the ranks.
"We had an inkling in the off-season," Croft said. "We had a talented group coming up and we knew they would be able to push our veterans. They were around all summer, lifting and working hard. They were ready."
The Hawks had some experience plugging holes. The year before, they had to replace almost a full lineup from the 2010 Super Bowl team.
The difference is that many of last year's replacements were seniors, like quarterback Ryan Brannigan, running back Louis Falcone and wide receiver Laionel Cintron.
There were some seniors in the mix this year, but players like Marco DelVecchio and Jarrid Witherspoon are defensive standouts more than offensive stars. It became clear pretty early that the full-time replacements would be a little greener, but so far, they haven't missed a beat.
Junior Remmington Blue, who got just a handful of varsity carries as a sophomore, rushed for over 200 yards in the season opener, and the rest of the young Hawks have followed suit.
"We were nervous about the beginning of the season," Croft said. "But we got off to a good start and I think that was key for us. We've said all along that we're following the same blueprint. We're going to be a better team and a different team in November. I think we were just a little younger to start."
That's true at all the skill positions, but growing pains have been few and far between. Junior Patrick Gill grabbed the starting quarterback job out of camp and has played well. Sophomore John Toppa has seen some time as well.
"I've said this to [offensive coordinator Frank Pantaleo] and I've said it to Gill too – he's exceeded my expectations," Croft said. "I had confidence that no matter who we put there, we would be okay, because we have a lot of weapons and we weren't going to put it all on the quarterback. Gill has done great. I think he's tasted it now and he knows what it takes to be successful. And Toppa has continued to work too. He's made a lot of improvements."
In the backfield, Blue and sophomore Power Kanga are developing into a dynamic one-two punch. Blue has had two more big games after his strong debut, and Kanga tallied 137 yards and two touchdowns in last week's win over East Providence. Sophomores Gary Gibbs and Terrence Gibbs have gotten some late-game carries and have also run well.
"It's a very talented backfield," Croft said. "They've got good speed. I think the biggest thing they have to work on is their blocking."
In the receiving corps, Hendricken has senior Kazre Cummings leading another young group. Juniors Mike Scarcella and Mitch Lucci each caught touchdown passes last week. Sophomore Matt Duffie, who starts in the secondary, has also been in the mix on offense.
In all, it's a lot of touches for sophomores and juniors. In Croft's eyes, the best part of the situation is the way the seniors have handled that.
"I can't say enough about them," Croft said. "It's really a team effort. Sometimes when seniors see young guys coming in, they get anxious. They don't want to lose their jobs. But our seniors have been phenomenal. They know we're here to win and they've welcomed the younger kids in. I think they've really made them feel comfortable."
That's been a big help in the development process, but with some stiff challenges ahead, the Hawks know there's a lot more to go.
The young players are at the wheel.
Now they've got to keep it steady.
"We haven't had a lot of trouble so far but I think we have to realize that there are going to be times when we make mistakes," Croft said. "Generally, it's going to take half a season for guys to really get comfortable and get that inexperience past them. We're getting into the meat of the schedule now, so it's going to be an opportunity for the guys to continue to get better."

Physical Graffiti
So I've realised I only ever really listen to the first disc - in fact, those six songs are probs my favourite release by them. For some reason, the second disc is a mystery to me. On my few listens, it's always struck me as a real ragbag of bits & pieces, much less cohesive than the first disc. Is that deliberate? Does anyone else find the same, or do y'all listen to it as a single 80-minute album? What's my WAY IN to the second half?
the second disc has
tens years gone, bron-yr-aur, night flight, black country woman and sick again on it
thats pretty solid
it's not as cohesive i suppose but the whole album is more of a get as many songs as possible out there affair than the unified single disc records which proceeded it
The Wanton Song is my favourite Led Zep song.
It's so fucking percussive.
Physical Graffiti is also my favourite Led Zep album. It does everything that you want a Led Zep album to do.swamii this'd this
not a massive fan of them at all
but The Wanton Song is a beast. borderline funk
John Oswald - "power"
the wanton song as it was meant to be!!! Look for it !!!!
Never listened to it properly but I love loads of the songs on it
Custard Pie kicks ass
Half the songs were old recordings from 1970 to 1972
The remainder were recorded in 1974 for Physical Graffiti.
I've split mine into two chronological playlists because....well, I don't know. You could give that a try?
An astounding album in any order.
08. Bron-Yr-Aur
11. Night Flight
13. Boogie with Stu
09. Down by the Seaside
02. The Rover
04. Houses of the Holy
14. Black Country Woman
01. Custard Pie"
03. In My Time of Dying
05. Trampled Under Foot
06. Kashmir
07. In the Light
10. Ten Years Gone
12. The Wanton Song
15. Sick Again
Oh wow.
Well I never knew that. Just reading up on it now. Cheers!
If the 1974 recording were released as a single album...
best album ever.
Also The Rover/Houses Of The Holy were recorded during the HOTH sessions, Night Flight too I think. Put these on Houses Of The Holy album instead on The Crunge/D'yer Maker and that also rules.
... Restrospective revision of albums... I've got a 20 track version of the White Album that's hard to beat... Loveless without Touched... why listen to crap songs if you don't have to

History comes alive at The Sixth Floor Museum
- Written by Deborah Stone
On November 22nd, 1963, history changed in a split second. President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, while his motorcade passed through the city's central business sector as part of a two-day Texas tour in preparation for the 1964 presidential campaign.
I don't remember much of this event, as I was a young child at the time, but I do recall my mother audibly weeping as she sat in front of the T.V. watching the news unfold. She was shocked and horrified upon learning that the President she adored had been murdered, and like the rest of the nation, she tensely waited to hear who was responsible for such a tragedy.
For many days, life in my family's house was chaotic, with the television on 24-7, and my parents in a constant state of agitation and grief. There was a sense of despair and hopelessness that permeated our typically happy, cozy domicile. I noted, in my childlike perception, that the world around me grew heavier and darker during this period. In ensuing years, my understanding of the event and how it affected our nation grew in substance and clarity, and I marked it as the moment when America lost its innocence.
Flash forward to the present and the realization that it's been fifty years since the assassination. Though much time has passed, for many, the memories of that day are still vivid. If asked, people can tell you exactly where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news.
Such recollections come to life during a visit to The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza in Dallas. The museum, which was established in 1989 in the former Texas School Book Depository, examines the life, death and legacy of JFK through films, historic footage and hundreds of photographs and artifacts. Extensive information about the social history of mid-20th century Dallas both before and after the assassination, along with the history of Dealey Plaza, the Texas School Book Depository and Dallas' JFK Memorial Plaza help supplement the museum's collections.
Its permanent exhibit, "John F. Kennedy and the Memory of a Nation," is located on the sixth floor of the building where significant evidence of a sniper was found. The sniper's perch and storage space where a rifle was discovered remain preserved as they appeared on that fateful day. Also on display are cameras that captured Kennedy's motorcade on film and a scale model of Dealey Plaza created by the FBI for the Warren Commission investigation. Audio guides are included with museum admission and help to assist visitors as they explore the exhibit. Inclusion of excerpts of historical radio broadcasts and the voices of reporters, police officers and witnesses to the assassination serve to enhance the experience. Ample space is dedicated to detailing the investigations that ensued after the assassination, including the various conspiracy theories espoused.
The event remains the most controversial murder mystery of the 20th century. Both history buffs and ordinary folks continue to be fascinated with the case even though the Justice Department formally closed its investigations in1988, concluding once again that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the murder of JFK. Over 350,000 people from around the world visit the museum each year, attesting to the fact that the grief this country experienced at the tragic loss of its 35th President was a response shared by many other nations.
It's not just those who were alive at the time that make the pilgrimage to The Sixth Floor. A whole new generation has become intrigued by this historical event via films and movies and now, they too, are coming to the museum in droves.
Another important part of the institution's collection is the Oral History Project, which preserves personal recollections regarding the life and death of JFK. These candid, informal interviews offer additional insight into the President's legacy and the local and global impact of his assassination. It's an incredibly diverse and rich archive of firsthand accounts, from individuals of all ages, including the memories of assassination eyewitnesses, law enforcement officials, community leaders, White House officials, social rights activists, filmmakers and researchers, Kennedy family acquaintances, 1960s schoolchildren, Parkland Memorial Hospital personnel, the museum's founders and more than 100 members of the local, national and international news media. Such an accumulation of oral testament not only helps to preserve valuable information that might otherwise be lost, but also provides generations to come with a tangible and palpable connection to the past.
With the 50th anniversary imminent, the city of Dallas will hold an official observance to honor the life, legacy and leadership of JFK. It is the first designated event Dallas has ever held in the President's memory and planners hope it will unite the city to remember Kennedy's spirit, while ultimately looking forward into the "new frontier" he fervently communicated. "The 50th: Honoring the Memory of President John F. Kennedy" will include the tolling of church bells throughout the city, followed by a moment of silence.
There will be performances by musicians from the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and the U.S. Naval Academy Men's Glee Club, along with special readings from JFK's Presidential speeches by renowned Presidential historian David McCullough. Area religious leaders will offer prayers and a benediction and a ceremonial flyover will conclude the hour-long, outdoor program.
Though 5,000 people are expected to attend the invitation-only observance, the eyes of the world will be on Dallas that day, just as they were fifty years ago.
The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza: 214-747-6660 or www.jfk.org
Open daily except Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.
Admission ranges from $13 (youth ages 6-8) to $16 (adults); seniors ($14); children 5 and under are free

Aciphylla is a most unusual genus of plants, native to New Zealand with one exception. It belongs in the Apiaceae and is thus related to carrot, parsley, dill, celery etc. In appearance however, Aciphylla has little in common with these vegetables but rather has thick, very hard, spiky foliage in rosettes much more reminiscent of certain Agave or Yucca. A. subflabellata is similar to A. squarrosa. It forms a dense rosette of pinnate leaves with long and very narrow leaflets, the lower ones of which are again pinnate. It is native to tussock grassland in the drier, eastern districts on the South Island of New Zealand between 300 and 1400 m (1000 and 4600 ft.). In cultivation it will do best in cool or cold temperate, oceanic climates, where it requires a sunny or only lightly shaded spot. It does not like high summer temperatures and is a perfect replacement for Agave and Yucca in such climates. For best germination results, keep seeds after sowing at around 20ºC (68ºF) for two to four weeks, then expose to light frost for about a month, finally keep around 10ºC (50ºF) for germination. This process simulates winter and is required to break down germination inhibitors. Germination may occasionally still take months, sometimes over a year before sprouting.

Naptime Color: Colorful Home Projects in 45, 90, or 180 Minutes
Let's face it, helpful little hands are fun when fixing snacks or cleaning, but not so much where (permanent) paint is concerned. Often, I find the only time to get projects done around the house is during nap (forget bedtime — by then I'm beat). So, I thought I'd break down a few favorite colorful home projects for parents who, like me, want to get their color on during nap time (whether that's a single-sleepcycle-snooze or a 3-hour-doozie).
Whatever length your child's nap, there's time to squeeze in some color. Here are some projects for adding color to your home that can be completed in that precious window:
My toddler's taking marathon 3-hour naps.
- Print DIY Patterned Fabric
- Paint a Door Threshold or two.
- Paint a Windowsill or Window Trim in a bright, unexpected color.
- Go graphic with DIY roller blinds.
- Paint an accent wall.
I have an hour and a half to get a project done.
- Try painting a carpet.
- How To Spray Paint Metal Furniture
- How To Use Upholstery Spray Paint
- Five Ways To Customize Cabinets with Colored Contact Paper
- Create a stretched canvas tryptich.
Quick! Forty-five minutes 'til baby's awake!
- Sew pillow covers in brave new colors.
- Use a porcelain paint pen to add your signature color to thrift store dishware.
- Make your own non-toxic watercolors, then make abstract art with it when baby wakes up.
- Paint-Dipped Tools (This can be done with wooden kitchen utensils, too.)
- How To "Fake" a Gallery-Wrapped Canvas Print
As always, when painting, provide good ventilation and take the proper precautions against lead paint exposure. Happy crafting!

Give it a rest! "The first year after a wildfire will be the most critical in allowing rangeland to recover," says Clint Rollins, range management specialist with the Natural Resources Conservation Service in Amarillo, Texas.
Rollins says in the first days following the mid-March wildfires that burned up to 1 million acres of rangeland in the Texas Panhandle, ranchers concentrated on tending to injured animals, finding feed or a market for survivors and posing of carcasses.
"But ranching is a long-term enterprise," he says, and the next order of business is to look to the future.
"The first priority for restoring rangeland is moisture," he says. The area got a start on that the weekend of March 18-19. "From three-fourths to one-and-one-half inch of rain fell over the weekend," Rollins says. "And it was the slow, soaking rain we needed. And we may get snow, which would be a big help."
After moisture, the next step is to allow the land to rest, he says. "The first year is the most critical in rangeland recovery. We have a variety of soil types in this area, from blow sand to heavy clay, but, regardless of soil type, the key that first year is total deferment. It's critical to stay off the land. Rest helps recovery."
Rollins says the latest fire was not the first time wildfires have swept across the Texas High Plains. "It will recover," he says.
Reseeding burned rangeland "is not an option and will be a waste of money. Let Mother Nature take her course and just keep cattle off the range."
He says if moisture is adequate and if ranchers allow the land to rest through the summer, they may be able to do "limited stocking by first frost."
He says the wildfire, despite the toll it has taken, comes with some silver linings. "We'll see a reduced number of cactus and woody plants following this fire," he says. "Ranchers will get a five or more year period of grace (without the undesirable vegetation) and will have better grazing than before the fire — if they let it rest. But they have to keep cattle off this first year."
Rollins says he understands the temptation. "This is their livelihood and some may want to plant some grazing or get cattle back on as soon as moisture and warmer weather brings grass back, but it's a mistake."
He says the more fragile soils will be particularly vulnerable to grazing before full recovery. "Soils that are mostly sand and prone to blowing don't need hoof traffic. We get a lot of wind in the High Plains and the combination of wind and sand sandblast young vegetation."
Rollins says a factor working in favor of leaving the land idle for months will be the need to replace hundreds of miles of fencing. "We have a limited number of fence contractors who can do the job so it's going to take some time," he says. "But some ranchers are already planning on putting up perimeter fences and I hope they don't restock too soon. That will be a mistake."
Rollins has seen rangeland recover from wildfire before. "I was in Abilene in 1988 (when wildfire took out a lot of acres)," he says. "Afterward, grazing was greatly improved."
And it's not just elimination the undesirable vegetation for a few years that will help.
"A lot of this land had growth of little blue stem so rank that cattle wouldn't eat it. Now, it will have an opportunity to put back tender growth. Ranchers will have better forage."
He says several programs will be available to help ranchers recover. "They can use EQIP a year from now to put in cross fencing, windmills and water troughs. A government emergency program also may be available to help rebuild fences."
He hopes an emergency watershed bill that offers ranchers some income per acre to leave the land idle for the next year goes through Congress and that ranchers take advantage of it. "That will be money well spent," he says. "This first year is the key to sustainability."
He says wildlife will benefit from the burn as well. "We will begin seeing a flush of wildlife in two to three years.
"But the most important management practice for recovery is complete deferral this first year."

Gille, Bandres, Ramirez, Bonnevalle, Ribeiro, Ordeig swarm postseason lists
MACON, Ga. (April 19, 2012) – Finishing the season with a 9-0 A-Sun record – its fifth undefeated conference season since joining the league in 2006 – and earning the No. 1 seed in this weekend's A-Sun Championships, the ETSU men's tennis team bombarded the conference's postseason honors and awards lists by earning six All-Conference selections with Director of ETSU Tennis Yaser Zaatini being named Coach of the Year.
Zaatini's Coach of the Year award is his third overall and first since coaching the Buccaneers to their undefeated, 9-0, conference season in 2009. The two-time All-American's other Coach of the Year award came in 2008 when ETSU went 10-0 in league action and earned a 4-2 win against then-No. 26 Notre dame in that season's NCAA Tournament.
ETSU's six All-Conference picks consist of senior Sander Gille (Kuringen, Belgium) and junior Jesus Bandres (Caracas, Venezuela) earning First Team honors, while junior Juan Ramirez (Asuncion, Paraguay), senior Jeremy Bonnevalle (Keerbergen, Belgium), freshman Rogerio Ribeiro (Sao Paulo, Brazil) and sophomore Roger Ordeig (Gurb, Spain) making the Second Team Singles list. The Bucs' doubles teams of Ramirez and Bonnevalle, as well as Bandres and Ribeiro were also named Second Team Doubles All-Conference. Ribeiro rounded out the honors by also making the All-Freshman Team as a unanimous selection.
The A-Sun also released its first ever Academic All-Conference selections for men's tennis, with Gille and Bonnevalle earning two spots on the eight-man squad. Along with their athletic accomplishments, Gille and Bonnevalle both major in management and carry GPAs above 3.90.
Gille's All-Conference selection is the fourth of his collegiate career. In his 2009 freshman campaign, Gille was named to the A-Sun's All-Freshman Team. The next two seasons, he was selected First Team All-Conference – including a Player of the Year award in 2010 – making this year his third-consecutive season as a First Team pick. The senior ended the regular season with a 19-9 overall record, going 13-6 through spring dual play and 8-1 in A-Sun action.
Bandres makes his third appearance in the All-Conference books and second on the league's First Team. The junior was named to the All-Freshman Team in 2010, and followed that up by earning a First Team selection during last year's A-Sun title run. This year, Bandres earned his First Team pick by going 6-2 through A-Sun play with the majority of his matches coming at No. 2 singles.
Ramirez lands on the All-Conference list for the first time in his ETSU career. The junior played all 17 of his dual matches at the No. 3 position, going 11-6 and ending the season on a nine-match winning streak. The Asuncion, Paraguay native was also one of two Buccaneers to go undefeated in conference play, boasting an A-Sun singles record of 7-0.
Bonnevalle also makes his first appearance as a member of the All-Conference Team. The senior ended the regular season with the most singles wins of his collegiate career, going 18-11 overall, 12-6 dual, and 8-1 in the A-Sun. He also won 11-consecutive singles matches from Feb. 18-April 7, including a victory over then-No. 71 Stetson's Hans Adrian Riseng in the No. 4 match, 6-2, 6-1, as part of ETSU's 5-0 defeat of the Hatters on March 23.
Ribeiro's Second Team and All-Freshman Team honors extend ETSU's mark of seven-consecutive seasons with an All-Freshman student-athlete. In his first season with the Bucs, Ribeiro hit the 20-win mark by completing the regular season with an overall record of 20-8. The newcomer began the spring season 0-1, but has since reeled off 11-consecutive singles matches as he currently holds the team-lead in consecutive victories and completes the regular season with a perfect 9-0 A-Sun record.
Ordeig makes his second mark in the All-Conference record books after being named to the All-Freshman Team last season. The sophomore's Second Team selection this year comes off a season in which he is currently 17-9 overall, 9-3 dual, while going 7-1 through A-Sun play. Ordeig spent most of his time in the No. 6 slot, where he boasted a 7-1 record, as he is currently on a seven-match winning streak.
Stetson's Maksim Levanovich was named A-Sun Player of the Year and Scholar Athlete of the Year, while Florida Gulf Coast's Tianya Bao was named Freshman of the Year.
ETSU now moves ahead to the 2012 Atlantic Sun Championships as the top seed, and will play in Saturday's semifinal against the winner of Friday's quarterfinal matchup between No. 4 Lipscomb and No. 5 USC Upstate. First serve at the Buddy Hartsell Tennis Center on Saturday is scheduled for 8:30 a.m.

Did The Illegal Liberal Robocall In Guelph Break Two Elections Canada Laws?
"An anti-Conservative robo-call has surfaced from the 2011 federal election campaign in Guelph, Ont. – one the Liberals are now claiming responsibility for having funded.The recorded message – circulated to the media by Conservatives on Friday – attacked Guelph Tory candidate Marty Burke as anti-choice.
It says he believed "that under absolutely no circumstance should a women have the right to choose" to have an abortion. "Government should not be able to force their beliefs on to me," the woman delivering the anti-Conservative message said.
She identifies herself as Lori, or Laurie, McDonald of Guelph. "The race in Guelph is very close. Vote strategically on Monday to protect our hard earned rights from the Conservatives and Marty's extreme views." Liberal MP Frank Valeriote acknowledged the anti-Burke robo-call should have identified it was funded by his campaign."
So Valeriote has already admitted his campaign did in fact violate the EC law in regards to not adding the Liberal Party name to the robocalls. That in itself speaks of dirty tactics. But there is a bigger question about these calls, one not mentioned by anyone yet. Valeriote needs to come forward and address this issue right away, and the media should be asking:
Does Lori or Laurie Macdonald of Guelph, the one purportedly speaking on the robocall really exist? If not, two laws may have been broken, as it's illegal in EC law to impersonate someone else in a robocall or live campaign call. Will the real Lori Macdonald please stand up.

Just a quick question, what would the penalty be for each rule violation be?

Apart from not knowing the correct spelling of the woman making the call in Guelph, Laurie McDonald and/or Lori MacDonald wouldn't the Liberal campaign manager for Frank have documentation about this caller? If the mysterious Lori was working for the Liberals, well wouldn't there be a pay cheque? Or if Mystery Lori was a volunteer, would there be say a free lunch in for her and other volunteers - which of course means there would be records of such as in receipts and reimbursements for such expenses, right? Wouldn't the Guelph Liberal campaign have submitted their campaign expenses to the Liberal HQ? Since the Liberals are claiming wrong doing on the part of their opposition, they should want to release records about the Mysterious Lori.

I'm sure that Elections Canada will require them to release any information regarding the issue.

In most cases of breaking EC rules, EC finds the party guilty, put a little blurb on the EC website that the party recognized the mistake, and history repets itself all over.
In this case two violations may have occurred. At the end of the day EC will say no big deal, wasn't a Conservative.
- March 10, 2012 at 6:57:00 AM PST
No wonder the Liberals have been quieter all of a sudden. Still doesn't stop some from their usual spin though.

not what I asked, is a fine? jail time?

No fine, no jail time. A my bad and everyone proceeds to the next violation. All parties do it and I lay the blame on EC for not enforcing the rules with more vigor.

EC won't do anything to the liberals or the NDP I really don't want the Elections canada even putting there nose into this because there Biast. and there Liberal lovers. remember the Raid on conservative offices it was liberals wo arranged that. remember all the financing laws there letting the liberals pass on there debt and they let all the college students vote at that Cambuse even though it wasn't lagitimate. they didn't do anything with the pamflets being handed out near a Voting booth. so I am skeptical of them Pretending to be fair to conservatives.

Paul, I think your friend The Iceman is a bit of a "male member" Seems some of comments have mysteriously disappeared over on his blog.
As for the Liberals violation of the EC, the CPC were fine for the In & Out scheme, the Liberals should be fined for their violations regarding these robocalls, if indeed that is punishment.
As for the raid on CPC offices, that was the RCMP, and CBC got wind of it. Sucks when you get raid by the cops, but thats life.

Conservative MP Dean Del Mastro is alleging the Liberals used a fake return phone number to make the anti-Burke calls.
"If he wasn't trying to intentionally mislead the recipients then why did he use a number and exchange that he knew did not exist?"
Mr. Del Mastro said the number identified as making the call was 226-209-3758.

Robocalls misrepresenting EC, misdirecting voters, and unreported on election finances, versus robocalls expressing a political opinion that didn't identify who was paying for the call, but was reported and known to EC.
If you guys on the right can't see a difference, or that the Liberal version was worse, I can only hope you will be more vocal against such practices, demand a full investigation, and support tougher regulations.
At least the Tories are starting to admit these calls happened.

The Liberals or NDP could of made the calls themselves...after all, the Liberal campaign workers were conveniently at the poll that was fake telling the voters the CONSERVATVES did this. Then Valeriote says they ripped up their voting cards. Looks like a nice stage effect.Liberal supporters??
Sort of like some of the scams Joe Volpe Liberals pulled. BTW Adam Caroll from Vilileaks(Liberal) was also the staffer with Volpe trashing green party pamphlets out of mailboxes. Don't forget the U of G...Liberal outside handing out Liberal pamphlets.
Oh yeah...Liberal dirty tricks The list goes on.
Then we have NDP robocalls into Quebec when their NDP candidate crossed the floor to the Liberals. Then slander lawsuits against Martin and the NDP party.Misleading media reports retracted. Lead now .ca..NDP...
Someone should investigate the CBC Vote Compass that told everyone they were LIBERALS...then follow the CBC $$$$$$$.

"At least the Tories are starting to admit these calls happened."
The Tories haven't admitted to anything of the sort.
They have acknowledged that this garbage happened to them too in several instances but it's been happening to them for a very long time.
What is disturbing is that this suppressing of the Conservative vote in Guelph is NOW just another 'move on folks, nothing to see here' moment because it's a precious Liberal.
That is offensive and why the Liberals are a bunch of has-beens. They have no moral compass and find this behaviour normal and worth justifying.
It's not worth justifying and the tone of your comment Terry suggests that despite you knowing nothing and having no facts, the 'Tories' are responsible to change this or these dirty tricks from Liberals are completely acceptable.
They are not okay, they are not healthy and this was approved and rationalized by the Liberal candidate. That is just downright messy, filthy politics.

Zorpheous @4:35pm
Your interpretation of my comment is inaccurate. I was not responding to any suggestion that the CPoC hadn't acknowledged these calls. I am saying that they have strongly stated that the CPoC did not authorize any such calls.
The comment I was responding to "at least the Tories are starting to admit these calls happened" suggested to me that the author was implying the Tories had admitted some culpability.
I was saying that they had done no such thing.

Zorpheous things haven't changed with you, always twisting the facts. Is it a lesson you learned from your master GT. I seem to remember your blog and how you would edit the comments and kick people off for disagreeing with your twisted views, especially when they catch you in a lie. Most Conservative Bloggers are pretty broad minded and will put up with most lefty trolls like yourself as long if the language is clean and they don't break any legal issues. This is the exact opposite with most liberal bloggers who's blogs are heavily edited, they seem to not like hearing other peoples views or their readers reading the truth. I maybe blowing smoke out of my arse, but with your past history I wonder if you had anything to do with Robocall scandal, it does have your touch.

If the Liberal Robocalls violated Canada's election laws, then all parties have violated Canada's election laws.
I don't believe that any party should be able to advertise falsely or without full disclosure, but all parties do this. The Conservatives are not a stranger to advertising that is false or misleading. If anyone wants an investigation into false or misleading advertising ( including robocalls ) then no party is going to come out clean.
There is a big difference between political calls that try to sway voters and political calls that pretend to be Elections Canada to prevent voters from voting.

The home's owner, Glenn Netherton, tried using a fire extinguisher to put it out before firefighters' arrival.
Boundy said firefighters were on scene for about an hour and a half.
No injuries were reported.

A whirl of honeymoon places or honeymoon destinations in India including splendid mountain ranges of Kashmir, backwaters of Kerala, glistening beaches of Goa
The immense and diverse geographical setting of the country nestles numerous of naturally affluent locations that can better be called as Natural wonders of India.

Maybe your idea of paradise is a secluded stretch of warm, white sand to calm the mind. Or maybe it's a resort with activities and nightlife for the vacationer on the go. All you have to remember is your beach towel and sunglasses.
The impact of colonial buildings, especially bungalows is evident throughout India. which were mostly designed by British architects, some of these bungalows were designed by Indian architects too. At the architectural level, bungalows continue to influence contemporary architecture such as in use of the monkey top and the plan of a central hall with rooms along the side. At the socio-cultural level, bungalows define popular attitudes towards the relation between architecture and social status, since till date bungalows are seen as symbols of wealth and distinction. Bungalows despite being a vital part of cultural heritage are today facing the risk of demolition, with many of them giving way to modern construction. Many have been effectively restored and converted into heritage hotels and homestays. It is important that such examples of self-sustainable conservation are adopted so that there are spaces within the city where other than the dominant voice of contemporary architecture, one can hear the whispers of other architectural legacies.

Causal-based forecasting methods are increasingly important—driving customer relevance by ensuring better back-end processes.
Endless articles, blog spots and water cooler conversations have expounded the importance of customer relevance in the digital age. Most focus "on-screen" and involve strategies for infusing customer interactions with more meaning in areas like advertising, search and shopping. What remains largely unexplored is a critical back-end process—one that happens behind computer and mobile screens—namely, forecasting. Discover why causal-based techniques are rising in prominence thanks to the Digital Age.
Traditional retail forecasting involved marketing, merchandising and supply chain each creating their own guesstimates (based in large part on past sales performance) of anticipated demand. Sometimes though not often they would share the projections with one another and a single number representing expected sales was agreed upon. There was little, if any insight into the efficacy of each function. Numerous questions remained unanswered or overlooked: What impact did the most recent two-for-one promotion have on sales? How did store-based stock levels compare with national levels after the holidays? How much were distribution issues impacting the overall sales? Which products needed more advertising and which could achieve the same results with less? With the dawn of the Digital Age, all that has to change.

Your Favourite Photographers
Posted 16 June 2005 - 01:13 PM
Some of my other favorites:
Mike Waters- used to work for Stephen Frink. An outstanding photographer and teacher.
Brian Skerry- I've had the pleasure of diving with Brian here in New England. His work for National Geographic is great.
David Doubilet- I used to read the National Geographic articles that contained his photos. The first time I met David was at Sea Rovers in 1992. Now I've got an autographed collection of books.

The site is his agency which isn't just his photos but they are all great. And there are some awesome shots from the guys I know who do F1 photography at www.crash.net and www.sutton-images.com
anyway the reason i like Reinhard is his different approach .. he looks at the event with different eyes to the rest of the guys .. he likes to stand back .. and he muct know every event better than the drivers. He gets unique perspectives.

One of my favorite topside photographers that made me want to get involved with photography when I was younger was Tina Moddotti. And also since there haven't been any other latinamericans mentioned, how about Manuel Alvarez Bravo.
Topsiders and consummate, I know, but still a big influence on my own photographic journey.
Posted 16 June 2005 - 02:52 PM
I may also submit that I was on the jury in Antibes when Mr. Mustard himself managed to gather a large chunk of the still photography prizes. Thank God all 3 juges (an Italian, a Frenchman and a "québécois") didn't have a clue about the name of the autors... as it must be in any well run competition... otherwise we may have had some hesitation to give so much to the same person.
Moreover, Alex's winning images were so different from one another that we could not make any connection.
If I may quote Mr Brooks when he chaired the jury at Antibes: The most important part of an image is the message, the impression it leaves on us.
What I find most intersting also is to see how a photographer's work evolves over time. I have gathered all of Mr. Doubilet's work for NGM. It is a learning experience to look at the changes in his work over time. I don't mean to say that he is THE overall best u/w photographer. However, looking at the change in the way he uses light convinces me that it takes time to master and integrate the idiosynchrasies and complexity of u/w photography; as I have experienced it myself looking at my images.
Some master it faster because of talent, time spent u/w, willingness to advance faster. Others might take longer. I think that as long as the individual keeps learning and makes progress, fun it still there.
Newbert's contribution was also peculiar. I consider that there was a pre-Newbert period in u/w photography and a post-Newbert era. Lighting style took a bold step after his work came on the market.
A forum like Wetpixels is great for this reason, it helps us learn from each other and, in this respect, integrate this knowledge as a part of our personal style.
One land photographer that has impressed me a lot is Steve McCurry, author of the perennial Afghan Girl image. This single image has been "overexposed" in the sense that NG has used it so much. However, it remains a very powerful picture.
And since Alex asked who is/are your favourite photographers, I must add Jim and Cathy Church. Their work has helped tons of u/w photogaphers learn the basics, just like Stephen Frink more recently.
I am drifting a bit here....
Back to the other computer now!
PS: No Alex did not ask for my praise.
PS2: Alex, which image is yours on the fronts featured on DD website?

Mine is the ariel view of the clownfish on Dive Magazine. Plus thanks for the kind words about my pix at Antibes, Michel. I am actually planning to enter seriously again this year for the first time since then - can't let M. Ballesta have it all his own way!
I am really happy that this thread has so many contributions. It is a good one because whether you are new to photography or knew the stars before they were famous, everyone has an opinion and something to contribute.
I have used one of the moderator tools here on wetpixel to add links to a few of the posts in this thread. I hope people don't mind, but it makes it easier to see the photographers' images

It was Doubilet and Newbert that had the most influence on me in the early days.
But one of the most memorable experiences was the time I spent diving with Leni Riefenstahl
Controversial and both revered and reviled for her past, nobody can deny that this was a woman of exceptional talent.
I dived with her in the Maldives in '95 - she was 93 years old and needed little assistance. Her mind was still razor sharp and the stories she recounted to me of her meetings with some of the most evil men in history still stay in my mind - this was a woman who hadn't just seen and photographed history - she was part of it.

Go to bed for a couple of hours and look what happens - you miss a thread with nearly 30 replies! Excellent idea BTW.
There have been so many of my favourite inspirational topside and UW photographers mentioned already. I thought that I had one topside guy left to mention, but Michel has beaten me to the punch and nominated Steve McCurry who I find to be capable of some of the most powerful and beautiful portraits. Everyone knows his ubiquitous Afghan Girl, but a quick peak at his website demonstrates that she clearly wasn't just a "one off."
In terms of UW photographers, one of my favourites has yet to get a guernsey - Gary Bell. He seems to mainly work downunder, but has some superb topside and UW work that some other folks might enjoy. I wrote to him earlier in the year (looking for books featuring his work) and he mentioned that he is planning a dedicated coffee table book for some time later this year.
Also wanted to mention another NG photographer - Tim Laman - whose recent NG article on fish sight, I really enjoyed. He also does some spectacular topside work in rainforests.
Better hit reply on this before someone beats me to the punch!!

The other photographers that inspire me are Frans Lanting and Clyde Butcher. Frans Lantings portrait work is exceptional, truly captures the character and emotion of the animal. His landscapes and the way he paints colors with light is truly inspired.
Clyde Butcher primarily shoot landscapes of the Florida Everglades with large format equipment. Often referred to as the Ansel Adams of the Everglades his work is the best documentary of a vanishing eco-system. Clyde Butcher has the ability to look at a scene, sometimes of absolute chaos, completely unattractive and create a spectacular image.
I agree that some of the photographers on Wetpixel are truly world class (you know who you are B) ) and the opportunity to not only view their work but interact with them is unique and priceless.

Speaking about favourites, in the hexagone, Lionel Pozzoli and Fred DiMeglio have done some very nice work.
In Italy, I am thinking about Claudio Bertassini.
We don,t see too many German names and I know there are some very good shooters out there too.
I think we ought to add David Pilosof for his book Samantha.
It sold pretty well and it was a different approach to u/w photography. Wouldn't be very popular in the Bible belt though.

Philip Kitcher's Living with Darwin: Evolution, Design, and the Future of Faith (Oxford U.P., 2006) was the recipient of a Lannan Literary Award for Notable Book for 2008 from the Lannan Foundation, which "hopes to stimulate the creation of literature written originally in the English language and to develop a wider audience for contemporary prose and poetry." The award includes a $75,000 prize. A Supporter of NCSE, Kitcher is the John Dewey Professor of Philosophy at Columbia University.
Barbara Forrest explained "Why Texans Shouldn't Let Creationists Mess with Science Education" on November 11, 2008, at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. Now video and audio of her talk is available on-line.
Selected content from volume 28, number 1, of Reports of the National Center for Science Education is now available on NCSE's website.
The Texas state board of education heard testimony about the proposed new set of state science standards during its meeting on November 19, 2008 — and plenty of the testimony concerned the treatment of evolution in the standards. As the Dallas Morning News (November 20, 2008) explained, the standards "will dictate what is taught in science classes in elementary and secondary schools and provide the material for state tests and textbooks. The standards will remain in place for a decade after their approval by the state board."
Scientists at public and private universities in Texas overwhelmingly reject the arguments advanced by the antievolutionists seeking to undermine the treatment of evolution in Texas's state science standards, according to a report just released by the Texas Freedom Network Education Fund.

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) refers to a wide range of symptoms that:
- Start during the second half ofthe menstrual cycle (14 days or more after the first day of your last menstrual period)
- Go away 1 - 2 days after the menstrual period starts
Alternative Names
PMS; Premenstrual dysphoric disorder
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The exact cause of PMS has not been identified. Changes in brain hormone levels may play a role, but this has not been proven. Women with premenstrual syndrome may also respond differently to these hormones.
PMS may be related to social, cultural, biological, and psychological factors.
Up to 3 out of every 4 women experience PMS symptoms during their childbearing years. It occurs more often in women:
- Between their late 20s andlate 40s
- Who have at least one child
- With a personal or family history of
major depression
- With a history of postpartum depression or an affective mood disorder
The symptomsoften get worse in a womans late 30s and 40s as she approaches the transition to menopause.
PMS refers to a set of symptoms that tend to:
- Start during the second half of the menstrual cycle (14 days or more after the first day of your last menstrual period)
- Go awaywithin 1 - 2days after a menstrual period starts
The most common physical symptoms include:
Bloatingor feeling gaseous Breast tenderness
- Clumsiness
Constipationor diarrhea
- Food cravings
- Less tolerance for noises and lights
Other symptoms include:
- Confusion, difficulty concentrating, or forgetfulness
Fatigueand feeling slow or sluggish
- Feelings of sadness or hopelessness
- Feelings of tension, anxiety, or edginess
- Irritable, hostile, or aggressive behavior, with outbursts of anger toward self or others
- Loss of sex drive (may be increased in some women)
- Mood swings
- Poor judgment
- Poor self-image, feelings of guilt, or increased fears
- Sleep problems (sleeping too much or too little)
Signs and tests
There are no specific signs or lab tests that can diagnose PMS. To rule out otherpossible causes of symptoms, it is important to have a:
- Complete medical history
- Physical exam (including pelvic exam)
A symptom calendar can help women identify the most troublesome symptoms and confirm the diagnosis of PMS.
Keep a daily diary or log for at least 3 months.Record the type of symptoms you have, how severe they are, and how long they last. This symptom diary will help you and your health care provider find the best treatment.
A healthy lifestyle is the first step to managing PMS. For many women, lifestyle approaches are often enough to control symptoms.
- Drink plenty of fluids (water or juice, not soft drinks, alcohol,or other beverages with caffeine) to help reduce bloating, fluid retention, and other symptoms.
- Eat frequent, small meals. Leave no more than 3 hours between snacks, and avoid overeating.
- Eat a balanced diet with extra whole grains, vegetables, and fruit, and less or no salt and sugar.
- Your health care provider may recommend that you take nutritional supplements.
Vitamin B6, calcium, and magnesium are commonly used. Tryptophan, which is found in dairy products, may also be helpful.
- Get regular aerobic exercise throughout the month to help reduce the severity of PMS symptoms.
- Try changing your nighttime sleep habits before taking drugs for insomnia.
Aspirin, ibuprofen, and other NSAIDs may be prescribed for
Birth control pills may decrease or increase PMS symptoms.
In severe cases, medicines to treat depression may be helpful.Antidepressants known as selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are often tried first. You can reduce the need for medicines by using:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy
- Light therapy
Other medicines that may be used include:
- Anti-anxiety drugs for severe anxiety
- Diuretics (may help with severe fluid retention, which causes bloating, breast tenderness, and weight gain)
- Bromocriptine, danazol, and tamoxifen (rarely used for relieving breast pain)
Expectations (prognosis)
Most women who are treated for PMS symptoms get significant relief.
PMS symptoms may become severe enough to prevent you from functioning normally.
The suicide rate in women with depression is much higher during the second half of the menstrual cycle.
Calling your health care provider
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if:
- PMS does not go away with self-treatment
- Your symptoms are so severe that they limit your ability to function

2nd Annual Piston Power ShowPosted in Events on April 1, 2012
If there's one thing gearheads love, it's the sound of a real engine, a piston-powered engine. Oh sure, some like the quite whir of an electric motor, and some love the roar of a jet, but there's nothing like the sound of combustion in a cylinder pushing a piston down a bore. Nothing. For some, this celebration of sound and power culminates in racing, while others just like driving, flying, working, or even just sitting around listening to an old one-lunger go pook-pook-pook.
The Piston Power Show in Cleveland is a celebration of speed. While it's rare to have any fired-up engines inside the expansive building during the show, you can only imagine the noise that happens when it's time to move all these rigs out after the show.
The second annual event was held at the IX Center by the airport. The building was built as a General Motors bomber plant in the '40s and made tanks and equipment for years, but has been incredibly renovated to be a first-class exhibition hall.
At the show there is everything from tiny boat engines from the '20s to modern dragster fare, one of which fired up in the middle of the show. From antique farm equipment and 18-wheelers to airplanes, boats, motorcycles, and muscle cars, if it had a piston it was probably there. Of course we were most interested in the 4x4 rides, and there were enough around to whet our whistle.
Next fall you should check it out as well on October 5-7. For more information visit www.pistonpowershow.com. And remember what they say: "If a piston makes it go, it's in the show!"

This episode was horrible. I had forgotten how much I had hated last week's episode so I was actually excited to watch the show. That is until I opened up the file and realized it was a continuation of the past episode and all the bad memories came flooding back.
These two episodes have damaged the story because you have to wonder if the alien invasion is that important or they truly are professional soldiers when they have time to go beach hopping during such times. I didn't have a problem with Yuuya in these episodes, he seemed to be still him but the female characters, mainly Yui, became shallow and incompetent. I think the writers forgot that she was his superior officer and had front fighting experience because of how lost she looked all the time. Cryska was just too random for me to even comprehend what was going on with her.
These episode hopefully was a glimpse into an alternate universe with has no bearing on the rest of the story. Like last weeks episode I just put this in my brain's trash can and hopefully never need to remember its existence.

One thing I'd like to point out about this pair of episodes. While I have been epically unimpressed by the way the romance is playing out according to bog-standard high-school romance tropes, the underlying idea of the characters ending up doing this photo shoot in the first place isn't so out of place as, I think, some of the commentators in this thread are saying.
Basically, what it amounts to is, the group is participating in a morale-building and publicity operation not at all unlike a USO performance as happened in real life. The significant difference is that it's actual military operatives who are being used as performers, rather than professional entertainers, which seems odd...until you stop and realize that it's very likely that in the MLA universe, which has been under siege by alien invaders for thirty-plus years at this point in the timeline, the entertainment industry isn't all that robust (seriously, even in America, where BETA isn't actually knocking on their doors, I can't believe society is spending that much time and energy on Hollywood. Remember, eg., they haven't even invented video games!). Consider also that Argos Flight and Idar Flight were deliberately stated in Ep. 6 to have been assigned this job at least partially out of punishment for the Ep. 3 incident that nearly wiped out Yuuya and Vincent's transport, and then consider also that however important Project PROMINENCE might be for the future, it's also a unit of pilots that spends its time zipping around Alaska instead of actually fighting BETA on the frontlines, and the whole thing becomes a lot more reasonable.
(The focus on female fanservice for the male gaze, though, isn't. Given the number of women in the frontlines, Yuuya ought to have been there in a Speedo in the final scenes right alongside Yui and Cryska. There's a case where the desire to cater to the audience of the anime appears to have overcome the in-universe logic concerning the overall production...which, come to think of it, is pretty much the same problem that hit Yui and Yuuya's romance!)

If you are a captain like she was, she would do the best for her pilots. If she believes that the American mecha is better than the Japanese one, then she would do nothing because the guy would be more efficient with the mecha that he always uses. So if she forces him to use a different mecha in a life / death situation that means that she believes that the Japanese mecha is better in the end and is the difference between life and death. So, Japanese mecha is better than American mecha. Lets not forget that she has combat experience and he has none which means that newbie should listen what the older ones have to say like in any war. I think this is what I was trying to say.

I don't think Yui's mental shield is sustainable.
Read the manga issue 1 for Yui's time between EP2 and EP3.
It was mentioned in anime that Yui follows her father's footsteps i.e. a TSF designer. Yui is not a professional battle-hardened soldier with "devoid of emotions" i.e. Yui a tech/yellow shirt engineering or blue shirt science (StarTrek TNG speak).

I understand and accept (and even enjoy, to a degree) that sex appeal is a significant part of this show. It's true that such sex appeal was there even in the very first episode, given the design of those skin-tight plug-suits.
Depending on how you execute it, sex appeal can work in almost any anime show. I don't have a problem with the sex appeal, per se.
But while some ways of doing sex appeal don't degrade characters, there are other ways that can make characters seem somewhat cheapened, imo.
The sad thing is that, in my opinion, Muv-Luv had actually been doing a really good job of having sex appeal without cheapening its female characters...until this episode. That's partly why I found the final scene of this episode so very disappointing, because Muv-Luv had consistently shown the skill necessary to pull off sex appeal in a much better way than this.
Having Yui walk around in a sleek, one-piece blue swimsuit for a full episode is no big deal. Same thing with what Cryska wore on the deserted island. It fits the setting, and if the male characters don't act obnoxious over it, you simply have a nice visual. A couple slightly lingering panning shots, and the fanservice is there for those that want it, while it remains subtle enough that it doesn't bother those that aren't particularly interested in it. It's win-win.
But the final scene of this episode is delivered with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer, polarizing viewers in a way that simply isn't necessary. Given the premise and setting of this anime, it truly does seem horribly out of place to me.
Now, if there was a fashion show exhibit that was planned for this beach getaway right from the start, I had honestly forgotten that. But I don't take full blame for that because Mr. Duke Nukem there acted as though Yui had to show off herself as "punishment" for getting shipwrecked... which is just absurd. Also, why would you need such a pretext if you already had a fashion show exhibit planned from the start?
Anyway, I'm going to try to forget this episode, and if the anime starts going in a good direction starting next episode, I should be able to. Yui's character can still recover from this, but I really hope that she doesn't become this over-the-top of a tsundere on a lasting basis.

Limiting US TSFs's main weapons doesn't equate as a real combat test. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anEuw8F8cpE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj3-VkbRSKQ Emmm, mod'ing Total War BETA vs TSFs..............................
IRL, when a disaster strikes, a baby boom may occur e.g. http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-201_162-510428.html (Post Sept. 11).
Also, Yui may be competing against Cryska and later realise Her own modesty limitations i.e. Yui is a "hime" (Princess/Lady).

CR's EP01 03:29,
: Wasn't the Zuikaku the unit your father help develop?
Yui: Yes
CR's EP06 06:14
Yui: In a way, I attained my goal. But I badly wounded the hearts of the other Eishi. The Active Eagle isn't even made for close range combat...
Yui: If I'm letting this get to me, I'll be a failure as a development chief.
Note the change of approach.
The development team could involve, hardware engineers, software engineers, process analyst, system analyst, business analyst, system architects, component testers, end-user testers and 'etc'.
Yui's role is at higher level may avoid boiler level work, but Yui was shown to be studying a prototype rail gun schematics. Yui is not a normal pure fighting soldier. More complex systems would involve more diverse skill sets.
Yui's character remind me of StarGate 1's Samantha Carter** instead of Jack O'Neil.
**Attactive woman, an air-force pilot (e.g. over 100 hours in enemy airspace) with a science background (e.g. Ph.D. in theoretical astrophysics). Like Yui, Samantha has dreams of family and children. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samantha_Carter
Calling Japanese TSF as junk may insult Yui's family honor. Family honor would be important for "Yui-hime".
PS; Note that, non-anime source information is banned this forum topic. This topic is not a free flow discussion i.e. limited to anime only.

Yui said it as if she is worrying about morale of her subordinate pilots. But do you think that technical designer could be flight commander?
Development chief here must mean not chief technical designer (hey, we are speaking here about 17 year old lieutenant with big hmmm... eyes ) - that would be old man, scientist as Frank Heynemann from 3 serie.

"Petraeus' Iraq staff armed with lots of Ph.D."
"smart colonels who have been noticed by Petraeus, and who make up one of the most select clubs in the world: military officers with doctorates from top-flight universities and combat experience in Iraq."
If you want the best army in the world, you would stack your army with the best personnel.

they just swap the 1 piece to 2 piece and 2 piece to... school swimsuit. + a loli in school swimsuit. This episode is made purely to satisfy all those fetish bastard out there
But Yuyaa really hit the mark here
Yui: "since I'm Japanese, you and I will never get along!"
Yuuya: "did you want to get along with ME?"
Yui: !!! <-- 10 points for Yuuya

I rarely ever comment on threads like these but I am just so disappointed with the direction this series has taken. I really hope it manages to get back to what it was during the first couple episodes at some point. I was on the edge of my seat for all of episode 2 and now I feel myself losing interest every week as the focus changes from desperate invasion situation to lighthearted training exercises to tsundere antics. Not to say I hate harem romances as I'm currently also watching several, but I had really hoped based on the series' beginning that it would be something different.

Well, I understand all the complains about the episode. I guess it all depends on the expectations each of us has from a show or, in this case, from an episode, as usual. But, at least for me, the previous episode had been quite eloquent in what that itself and this one episode would have been about.
The previous episode started with a big bold yellow writing warning us how the contents of the episodes that followed would have been something silly, clichèd and whatever. I repeat myself here, but when I saw VG going in peeping mode I almost facepalmed. The only thing he was missing was a bamboo cane through which to breathe
So everything that came after that didn't surprise me. Not that I'm justify anything, but I was able to watch the episode for what it was. And letting aside all the clichè used, the thing that standed out the most was Yui change of her personality, I mean it has been to fast, and now I don't know how they'll handle her in the next episodes. That's what worry me the most. Do they let her go back and forth from tsun to dere every time she will interact with Yuuya?
