Support the Islettes
Teddy's Islettes Baton and Drum Corps presently are conducting its one and only fundraising campaign in the form of a candy bar sale. Mrs. Teddy Linenfelser, instructor and director of the twirling group, today stressed that no other selling projects are conducted by the Islettes throughout the year. Proceeds of the annual sale are used to purchase equipment for the drum and rifle section of the unit.
Today's Islettes, totaling more than 125 Island youngsters, practice weekly in the firehall. Twirling classes now are near capacity but there are still a few openings for drummers as well as flag and rifle carriers. ...
The twirlers were organized in 1960 and have appeared in local and area parades every season since.

Isle again loses out on HUD funding
Grand Island continues to be the orphan community when it comes to obtaining Housing and Urban Development funding for senior citizen housing.
The 128 units proposed by Belmont Shelters apparently is just another lost cause, according to information received from the Regional Office of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Supervisor LaVerne C. Luther Monday said the developers have been informed their application under Section 202 "has not been selected for funding."
Housing for the elderly planned by Frank Levin at 1700 Whitehaven Road, first announced about May of last year, also seems to be a lost cause at this point. The answer to the question "Why?" always seems to be "There isn't any money for the project."
Mr. Luther has no intention of giving up the ship, according to his remarks at Monday's Town Board meeting. ...

Wood buys back Fantasy Island
Charles R. Wood, former owner of Fantasy Island Amusement Park, plans to repurchase the park from International Broadcasting Corp, the company he sold it to in 1989.
IBC filed for bankruptcy in September 1991 and Wood hopes to promote the park back to what it was when he previously owned it. He feels Fantasy Island has potential as a picnic park, which it always has been and can bring in the business of large companies on that basis.
Wood also owned The Great Escape Fun Park in Lake George, which IBC bought with Fantasy Island for $36.2 million with the promise to put another $4.5 million into the parks. IBC didn't invest that money, which caused the decline of the parks.
Fantasy Island also suffered, according to Wood, because of the economy and the rainy, cool weather this summer. He's hoping the weather will improve, which will help the overall business.
The federal bankruptcy court is expected to approve the sale next month.

Beaver Island Clubhouse coming along
Earlier this year in May, 10 years after the Beaver Island State Park Casino was decimated by fire, construction began on the new clubhouse.
Crews are now five months into the two-phase project, with a completion date expected to come sometime in the spring of 2003.
"This has been a long, hard battle ... to make sure it gets built and built properly, State Assemblyman Sam Hoyt told the Dispatch on Tuesday.
When complete, the new clubhouse will reflect the architectural integrity of the old casino.

Lately, we've seen a fair amount of bad polling news, from the pro-Romney perspective. The most notable bad news comes from the two polls that Scott referred to earlier today: the CBS/NYT/Quinippiac poll of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida and the latest Rasmussen poll that has Obama leading nationally by 47-44. Romney had consistently been leading Obama in Rasmussen polls.
But don't worry. Dick Morris tells us that "the trend line is distinctly pro-Romney." Indeed, "the real story" is that "Romney is winning and expanding his lead each week." So ignore the polls that suggest otherwise. They are "at best, the product of incompetent polling and, at worst, the result of deliberate media bias." Look for Romney to carry Florida, Ohio, and Virginia and a share of the other states where Obama is below 50% of the vote, and thus to capture an electoral vote margin that approaches the one Obama enjoyed in 2008.
But didn't Dick Morris also tell us that the Republicans would pick up 100 or so House seats in the 2010 election? Didn't he predict that the Republicans would gain control of the Senate that same year? And didn't he write a book in 2005 called Condi vs. Hillary: The Next Great Presidential Race?
Morris is right to this extent: not all polls are reliable and pro-Democrat media bias can spill over into political forecasting. But pro-Republican bias can have the same effect, and some in conservative media may have a personal agenda that drives them to make less than trustworthy forecasts. Whatever is the case with Dick Morris, his track record is full of over-the-top predictions that didn't pan out.
This doesn't mean that the election won't break Romney's way. That might well happen, once Romney ramps up his ad campaign and voters focus more single-mindedly on what traditionally matters most in these elections — how they are faring under the current regime.
But to pretend that the race is already breaking for Romney is wishful thinking, at best.
STEVE adds: Morris is the most overrated political analyst in the country, and it is a blot on Fox News that they have him on so often (though note that he is never included in Fox's most serious news show–Special Report. His absence from the panel there tells you a lot.)

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Lipscomb high jumper Gemikal Prude has officially qualified for the NCAA I Indoor National Championships taking place March 15 in Albuquerque, N.M.
Only the top 16 in the nation can qualify for a chance to compete, and Prude made his way into that elite group of athletes.
Prude is the second Lipscomb athlete to ever qualify at the NCAA I National Championship Finals.
"This is another big step forward for our program," said Bill Taylor, director of track and field. "Madi Talbert made that first step to nationals last year. Gemikal moved the bar up another notch already this year. Someone has to be first in each category and goal we have as a program. It opens the door for more."
Prude is also the first men's athlete at Lipscomb to qualify for the competition, as well as the first to qualify for the NCAA I Indoor National Championships.
"Gemikal is an amazing athlete," Taylor said. "He gives glory to God for his success and keeps very even about everything that he does and everything that happens. He wasn't far from qualifying last year in outdoor track. This is a huge accomplishment for him and very well deserved. The whole team is proud of him.
"As a program, we expect to qualify more and more to Nationals. Gemikal and Madi Talbert show that our athletes can be the best in the nation. Lipscomb can be the best in the nation. Gemikal is a 5-foot 7 tall guy, jumping over 7-feet 2-inches so far. He just believes. God is mighty and a motivated human that believes in the power God has given, can do mighty things."
Prude currently holds the second-best men's high jump in the Atlantic Sun Conference with a jump spanning 7-feet 2 1/2 inches.
"All these firsts, all these milestones, have been really fun for me in this process of building one of the top NCAA I programs in the nation here at Lipscomb," Taylor said. "In less than seven years we have come so far and done so much. There is so much more to come though, tons more to do. The story is just getting started. This is true for Gemikal as an individual and for our program as a whole. It's a very exciting time to be a Bison."

There are many possible ways to measure the quality of a workplace: wages and benefits, employee turnover, physical amenities like gyms, policies such as flex time and free lunch, and profit-sharing all come to mind.
As the chronicler of life in Connecticut, we at The Courant believe the best way is by asking employees how they feel and what they think.
WorkplaceDynamics LLP, a research firm in Exton, Pa., conducted surveys of employees at each participating organization, on behalf of The Courant and Fox CT (who together comprise CT1 Media, along with courant.com, ctnow.com and other media outlets). We sought nominations in the winter and early spring, and a total of 649 employers with at least 50 people in Hartford, Middlesex, Tolland, Windham and New London counties came forward.
Ultimately, a smaller number of companies and public agencies took part in the full surveys, in part because the process is very rigorous. In all, WorkplaceDynamics sent surveys to 17,605 employees at participating organizations and 11,592 responded.
The survey comprised 24 statements and employees were asked to grade each one on a scale from "strongly agree" to "strongly disagree." The results of some statements were more closely related than others to how employees felt about their workplaces, overall. For example, "I feel genuinely appreciated by this company" is more than twice as likely to be answered positively at top-ranked companies as "my benefits package is good compared to others in this industry." Questions covered critical categories of direction ("This company operates by strong values and ethics," and "I have confidence in the leader of this company," for example); conditions ("I have the flexibility I need to balance my work and personal life"); execution; managers; and pay and benefits. Each company was assigned a score based on a formula, and WorkplaceDynamics ran statistical tests to root out any questionable results.
Companies were divided into three size groupings based on the number of employees they have in the five counties; 50 to 149 for small; 150 to 349, midsize; and 350 and up, large. Employers that were nominated were not charged a fee, and The Courant was not allowed to learn the identity of companies that did not make the list. WorkplaceDynamics has conducted more than 1 million employee surveys and compiled top employer lists for some of the nation¹s largest media outlets.

Research volunteer opportunity
Community representatives are welcomed on our peer-review panels. This is a unique opportunity for volunteers and staff at all levels to participate in the evaluation of grant applications.
Participants contribute to the evaluation of applications and have considerable impact on the review process. This is an opportunity to join expert scientists as they review the best new cancer research ideas in the country, gain an appreciation of the integrity of the peer-review process as well as the value and impact of donor dollars. The role of a Community Representative is to consider cancer relevance and feasibility from a patient/caregiver/public perspective, comment on the public summary (lay language) sections for ease of understanding. Detailed scientific knowledge is not required. Community Representatives are asked to report back to their colleagues/peers through a presentation or written report. This is a valuable way of sharing the experience more broadly given the limited spaces available each year.
Community representatives must consider all applications equally regardless of their specific cancer interest. Candidates must commit time to read the applications before the meeting and be willing to attend a 1 or 2 day meeting in Toronto. Travel and accommodation will be arranged and paid for by CCS. Reasonable expenses are reimbursed. The number of applications for a panel range from 15 to 30 depending on research area and program. Reading an application may take 20-30 minutes each.
View descriptions of the panels as well as the review process.
How to get involved:
If you currently hold a volunteer and staff position with the Canadian Cancer Society, please fill out the online self-nomination form.
Thanks to the incredible progress in retinoblastoma research made possible by Canadian Cancer Society funding, my son won't have to go through what I did.
Cancer affects all Canadians
Nearly 1 in 2 Canadians is expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.

Who Needs the Far Right when you've got birth-control obstruction by Obama?
Posted by Debra in protest and resistance on December 8, 2011
With kudos to Jodi Jacobsen, I've grabbed the last line of her piece Wednesday as inspiration for my title. "As the saying goes, with friends like these, who needs the far right?"
Wednesday, in direct contradiction to the recommendations of the FDA, Kathleen Seblius announced that the administration will not allow women under 17 to get Emergency Contraception (EC, Plan B) without a prescription. This makes Barack Obama the first president to counter the FDA by executive order.
His action goes against the science. There is no medical or ethical reason to impede a woman of any age, who, for whatever reason, wants to avoid an unplanned pregnancy. How does it help the future of that young woman to put her through more hoops, including a doctors' visit, potentially leaving her vulnerable to all the complications of a pregnancy for a young person?
The New York Times quoted Dr. Susan Wood, a former F.D.A. assistant commissioner who resigned in 2005 to protest the Bush administration's handling of Plan B, saying "there were many drugs available over the counter that had not been studied in pre-adolescents and that were far more dangerous to them."
"Acetaminophen can be fatal, but it's available to everyone," Dr. Wood noted. "So why are contraceptives singled out every single time when they're actually far safer than what's already out there?"
Jacobsen says
Experts, noted the statement, "including obstetrician/gynecologists and pediatricians, reviewed the totality of the data and agreed that it met the regulatory standard for a nonprescription drug and that Plan B One-Step should be approved for all females of child-bearing potential."
This is the president who said while campaigning that his administration wouldn't listen to the climate crisis-deniers and the gay marriage haters. Many people thought that Obama meant he wouldn't cave into the right, but how else do you explain this move?
His action goes against the wishes of a majority of people who think that peoples' access and use of birth control — and abortion — is their own business. Period. It's not the business of the Pope, the Council of Bishops (who directly intervened with Obama on this one), some right-wing fanatics in Congress, or their own partners of parents, and not the president business either.
Jodi Jacobsen yesterday,
Apparently the health and rights of women do not matter, but placating the far right does. Because apparently helping teens actually prevent unintended pregnancies isn't an authentic a goal of this administration. Perhaps it was among the topics on which President Obama came to "understand the concerns of Catholics [read the 281 bishops]," as Archbishop Timothy Dolan assured the New York Times after his private meeting with the president.
This president, this government, just acted against the interests of all of us who are women, or who care about women's' lives, in a craven way which will only give encouragement to those on the right who want to enact even worse measures, including bans on abortion and all birth control.

If we're counting correctly, this is the fifth time her scheduled deposition in the custody case didn't happen. Last month, Britney claimed she was too ill to sit for her depo, yet TMZ caught her out partying that same night.
Sources say the fact that she didn't show for the depo was a factor in her lawyers' decision to file papers today asking to withdraw as counsel, but it was only one of many reasons. As one connected source put it, "Her whole life has become insane and it's impossible for anyone to get through to her."

Posh Play: Chic, Practical Products for Clean Style
I was really impressed with Posh Play's debut at ABC Kids. The company, owned by two friends, both mothers, has a focused vision of making baby products that fit kids' active lifestyles as well as parents' aesthetics. It began with a playmat/splashmat combo that is wipeable, portable and attractive and grew into a cohesive line that includes bibs, placemats/playpads, and a diaper clutch with a portable changing pad inside.
The faux leather material for all the products is PVC-free and has a sturdy, yet luxe feel. The colors are sophisticated jewel tones and a rich chocolate brown.

Oh, boy, what a grand giggle we had last night when flipping through Chad Ford's mock draft. Sure, Knicks fans, you're ecstatic about having Isiah Thomas gone — though the rest of us, admit it, already miss him — and Mike D'Antoni promising to speed the game and make the team tolerable to watch. But, seriously, now ... Danilo Gallinari?
Danilo Gallinari is a 6-foot-9 "point forward" who Ford says, "knows how to think the game." Though we enjoy NBADraft.net's description the best.
For Europe, he is a match up nightmare reminiscent of a young Bodiroga or a Papaloukas. By NBA standards his athleticism is a liability, especially on the defensive end. He has made strides in improving his footspeed but he still relies too much on his hands to defend players.
"Reminiscent of a young Bodiroga or a Papaloukas?" Well, shoot, that's gonna fire up the Garden faithful. We can already imagine the backflips Spike Lee will do.
"With the sixth pick in the NBA Draft, the New York Knicks take 19-year-old Danilo Gallinari." Welcome back, Knicks!

Web Photo Albums
From NAS-Central Buffalo - The Linkstation Wiki
One interesting application that your Kurobox can play is to serve a web interface to view/manage your photo albums. It usually involves installing a web server, such as Apache, or Lighttpd, PHP, and a database manager, such as MySQL or SQLite.
There are several applications that can do this job; It's advised to compare the list of web album software from wikipedia to find out the one that suits you best.
Zenphoto, for example, is a very simple yet powerful album generator, but you might prefer Gallery or even Montala if you seek more features.
Installing a web photo album software shouldn't be kurobox-specific, so the best is to follow the publisher's instructions to installing their software on your Kurobox.

Toy of Your Choice Class
Hi Knitters,
Well, I see that lots and lots of people love to knit hats and would love to have a copy of Weekend Hats. Thanks for the enthusiastic entries to win a copy of the book. I have randomly selected a winner and have notified her. Congratulations to Gabby of NYC! Gabby, you need to email me your mailing address. Thank you to everyone for entering. I'll have another giveaway very soon.
On the teaching front, I haven't taught much since the fall season of last year so I am excited to get back into it at the Knit Circus Spring Retreat along with some other fine instructors!
My class is now up on the site and open for registration as are the other classes being offered. The retreat is Saturday, April 14th, in Madison, Wisconsin (yay!!) and the other teachers are Stephannie Tallent, Amy Detjen and Jaala Spiro. The retreat is located at the Hampton Inn West. Click here for location information.
Click here for the Knit Circus Spring Retreat classes!
I am only teaching one morning class so spots are limited. The class is from 9-12am.
I am teaching a Knit a Toy of Your Choice class. I am providing the patterns for the Owl Babies that you see here in the photos AND for my Tiny Lamb ornament that is currently an unpublished pattern, it is completely adorable and fun! You get to choose which pattern you want to work on during the class. I am going to do in class toy-making demonstrations and will have some tips and tricks to share along the way.
Click here to see the information for the Owl Babies!
The Owl Babies are knit in one piece (except for the feet) and the pattern has a bunch of fun techniques involved. It is a tiny knitting adventure.
Of course I will have some fun giveaways, too. Both the Tiny Lamb and the Owl Babies are about 3 inches tall. They are small toys knit in worsted weight so they both work up quickly! You will get quite a lot done during the class and I bet some will even finish!
Again, click here to register or just check out the options for the retreat!
If you have already knit the two toys I have planned for the class but you'd like to join us, please come and work on any other toy design of mine. I would love to have you join us to do some toy knitting. I am really looking forward to getting back in the classroom as teaching is my first love.
Hope to see you there!
Now if I can ever get to it, I have two new versions of my lost banner (the photo at the top of my blog) hat re-knit in one hank of Malabrigo Worsted and another in my handspun yarn. I have gotten more requests for this hat pattern than I can count so I finally knit it up again and wrote it out. Making the pattern for the aptly titled, Lost Banner Hat, is next up on my list for the blog. I can't wait to get this pattern out!
Happy Sunday! I hope to see you in class on April 14th, in my lovely city of Madison.
best, susie

I usually avoid reading film reviews as they often give away too much about the plot or, worse still, say too much about how the movie ends. So, rest assured there's no spoiler in this review. The Last Ocean is a documentary and, as is typical of that genre, doesn't follow the usual three-act formula we see on the big screen. However, it is full of drama, mystery, good and bad guys and what look like prehistoric creatures. What it doesn't have is climactic finish. That's because it's a work in progress and the audience is left to write its own ending, but more about that later. If you're a regular reader of Greenpeace blogs you'll be aware of the issues surrounding the Ross Sea in the Antarctic. If you're not you may not even know where the Ross Sea is. Making a documentary about a place most people had never heard of was the first hurdle for producer Peter Young when he started work on this project a little over six years ago. He starts by asking New Yorkers what they know about the Ross Sea. Most are bewildered by the question. "Is it eastside or westside?" "Is it man-made?" However, he doesn't fare much better when he asks the same question in downtown Wellington which, compared to the US, is only a stone's throw away from the southern-most ocean and one of the most amazing places on earth.Having established its location the doco then explores what's happening in the Ross Sea. The Last Ocean title refers to the fact that the Ross Sea is the most pristine marine ecosystem on the planet due to the minimal impact of human activity. It's described as a living laboratory where scientists can study marine life as it has been for thousands of years. Young has recorded some stunning images of vast landscapes and wildlife but the most powerful images are revealed when the cameras go below the ice capturing penguins, seals and fish in an almost supernatural environment. The water is so clear a Weddell seal seems to swim with the weightlessness you'd expect to see in outer space and penguins leave underwater wakes like vapour trails in the sky.However, the point of this doco is that pristine quality of this ecosystem is now being threatened due to industrial fishing in the region. The doco charts the increasing international interest in sending boats to the bottom of the planet each summer to haul prehistoric looking toothfish out of the Ross Sea. It started back in 1996 when New Zealand sent the first fishing boat but now up to 20 vessels battle their way through the southern ocean and harsh conditions every fishing season.Young records opinions from a large cast including scientists, diplomats, and politicians and fishing industry representatives. Some see fishing in the Ross Sea making perfect sense while others see it as the executioner's axe for a fragile region. One of this doco's strengths is the calm and well-presented argument it puts forward for protecting the Ross Sea. Young declares he is not anti-fishing but the Ross Sea should be off limits. Fishing there affects not only the fish population but the balance of the whole ecosystem. That's a price not worth paying he says.Young is not alone. One of the strongest supporters of getting fishing boats out of the Ross Sea is a New Zealand diplomat Stuart Prior who helped open the Ross Sea fishery 16 years ago. He now says that was a mistake and calls on the new Government to put some "steel in its spine" and lead the way out.The release of The Last Ocean is well-timed. In October this year the 25 countries that make up the agency which oversees the conservation of Antarctic marine life will meet to discuss proposals for protecting the Ross Sea. And this is where audiences at The Last Ocean are asked to help write the ending to this story. At the moment it could go either way but Young says our Government will respond to public opinion and he asks viewers to leave the cinema and take action by contacting politicians and urging them to make sure New Zealand pushes for extensive protection at the October meeting. To make that easy you can do that right here.The Last Ocean is part of the New Zealand Film Festival screening around the country over the next few months. You can see the trailer and the festival programme here. Don't miss it.

Auburn, Ala. - Tennessee State dropped their third consecutive game at the Auburn Tiger Invitational on Saturday evening. The Tigers are now 0-6 on the season after a 9-1 loss in five innings to UT Chattanooga. The Mocs moved to 3-5 on the season.
The Tigers jumped out to an early lead with a run in the top of the first inning. Freshman Kiarra Freeman and Kacie Daugherty each earned one-out walks and each advanced a base on a wild pitch. Freeman would take advantage of a drop third strike in which UTC catcher Anyssa Robles completed the out with a throw to first. The speedy outfielder broke home to give TSU an early 1-0 lead.
For the second consecutive day, TSU would run into trouble in the bottom of the first and watched an early lead turn into a five run deficit. UTC used a walk and six ground ball singles, four of which did not leave the infield, to create a big inning. Two Tiger errors capped off a six run inning for the Lady Mocs and a quick 6-1 lead.
UTC added three more runs in the fourth to provide a 9-1 lead. Shea Morris (0-4) struck out five in four innings and was tagged with the loss.
TSU was one out away from being no-hit when Daugherty crashed the party with a slap to shortstop that she beat by a step. The South Fulton native also picked up a stolen base two pitches later.
The Tigers final game of the tournament is scheduled for 11:30 am Sunday morning as they take on Indiana State. The game can be heard on tsutigers.com.

Combining her fifth place finish in her downhill run with her third place finish in the slalom, the 29-year-old held off a deep field to win at Rosa Khutor Alpine Resort on Monday with a total time of 2:34.62. Austrias Nicole Hosp took the silver medal with a total time of 2:35.02, placing fourth in the slalom run. Despite leading the pack after the downhill, American skier Julia Mancuso faltered on her slalom run, placing 13th and ending up with the bronze medal.Marie-Michèle Gagnon, the lone Canadian in the race, had difficult runs on both the downhill and slalom runs. The 24-year-old Lac-Etchemin, Que., native crashed in her slalom race and ended up unranked. More to come Dikembe Mutombo Jersey ., will experience this week. A year in which the Canadian curling championship has been pushed forward a week to accommodate the Winter Olympics was deemed the perfect chance to stage the event in Montreal for the first time since 1979. John Collins Jersey . -- Conor Casey scored two goals, his first of the season, as the Philadelphia Union beat Chivas USA 3-0 on Saturday night.NAPLES, Fla. -- A windy afternoon along the Gulf Coast of Florida played right into the hands of Sandra Gal on Friday in the LPGA Titleholders. Gal controlled the flight of her ball and picked up three birdies on the back nine at Tiburon Golf Club, giving her a 3-under 69 and a three-shot lead going into the weekend of an LPGA Tour finale that pays $700,000 to the winner. The 28-year-old German has spent much of the year working on a shorter swing and hitting a variety of shapes and trajectories, and that was put to good use in the blustery conditions. And the fact she opened with a 64 didnt hurt. "My advantage was yesterday," Gal said. "Shooting 8-under was big. Today it was hard for everybody to catch up. Thats what gave me that three-shot lead." Gal was at 11-under 133. Sun Young Yoo, the former Kraft Nabisco champion, had a 68 and was alone in second. The degree of difficult was best measured by what Yoo considered her best shot of the round -- a 6-iron on the 18th hole that didnt even hit the green. "Im very pleased with how I played," Yoo said. "I recovered very well." Lydia Ko, the 16-year-old from New Zealand making her pro debut, played her final 10 holes without a birdie and finished at 71, leaving her nine shots behind. "I thought I played much better today than yesterday, but the score was the same," Ko said. "I left a couple of my putts short just in front of the hole. Then when I got my speed right, the direction was wrong, so that was kind of frustrating." Gal hasnt won since her inaugural title at the Kia Classic two years ago, and her biggest disappointment this year was not getting picked for the Solheim Cup team. She felt her game was turning around, but not in time to warrant a captains pick. Instead, she might have to settle for the biggest payoff in womens golf. To win this week would amount to one-third of her career earnings. "Its easier for people to say, I dont care about the money, I only want to play well. But they dont mean it, right?" she said with a smile. "But Im not out here to play for money. Im out here to play with heart and to inspire others. Its a huge purse. But at the end of the day, when you win a tournament, youre happy about fighting and overcoming fear. Ersan Ilyasova Jersey. " Cristie Kerr had to fight plenty hard to get another 69 and lead the group at 6-under 138, five shots behind. Kerr thought she took take a 6-iron through a gap in the trees on the par-5 opening hole, and instead knocked it into the water. She had to drop in pine straw, and sent her fifth shot over the green. Her chip hit the pin, allowing her to tap in for a double bogey. What followed was a "horrendous" shot at the third (bogey) and a "horrible" shot on the fifth into a bunker. But she saved par, and that changed her thinking. "I wasnt going to let this tournament go down the toilet," she said. Kerr then ran off three straight birdies, knocked in a 15-foot birdie putt on the 12th, and then holed an 80-foot putt for eagle on the 17th that put her back in the mix. "On 17, I mean I was just due. I dont know how to describe it any other way than that," she said. Morgan Pressel had a 67, the low score of the second round. Four players failed to break 80. Inbee Park was within a shot of the lead early in the round, reaching 7 under, until she fell back to a 72 and was seven shots behind. Park headed off to rehearse her speech one last time before accepting LPGA player of the year at the awards dinner Friday night. Most players are nervous to stand before a big room for such a big moment. "Ive had a lot more pressure," Park said with a smile, a reference to going after a fourth straight major earlier this year at St. Andrews. Stacey Lewis (73) and Suzann Pettersen (72) were in the group at even-par 144, significant only as it relates to the Vare Trophy for the lowest scoring average. Pettersen would have to finish nine shots higher than the American to win the award. Gal stayed in the lead most of the day, and one last birdie stretched her lead. She would expect to make birdie on the 17th, the shortest of the par 5s. Just not this way. She hooked her tee shot into the trees and wasnt sure she could find it. "Happy to find my ball," she said. "Had a swing -- very happy. Had an 8-iron and thought, Lets go for the pin, and almost holed it out. Made the putt (from 15 feet). All very simple Never in doubt."

I think that there is a KgNE game, but in Japanese and the fan-translation has been delayed(or stopped?).
My recommendations:
Figures of Happinnes(I had mixed feelings from it, but overall it was very nice)
Private Nurse(never played it, but I heard it's good)
Heart de Roommate(it's good, until you get to the second half, where it becomes a soap opera with no choices to be taken)

I played the trial version of もしも明日が晴れならば and it was rather enjoyable. A bittersweet story about the worst possible(?) thing that could happen to a budding romantic relationship. Not super serious, but still serious when it needs to be, the cute story was very well written in my opinion, though there are a logic hole or two that may be explained later.

Can you tell who is also a fan? The game is funny and sweet at times and Akiho chan is a spunky cutie, a major reason why i'm also playing this game. I just havent been able to play it for quite a while now though.

I always buy the ones that I believe I wouldn't regret spending my money on. With the excepation of SOME GOOD ero games that have been translated into English, There's ALOT of other ero-games out there and since it can be expensive to purchase them outside of Japan it's best to make sure you buy the ones you know you'll enjoy. However for me at the moment due to money issues I haven't been able to buy me one.
I'm currently playing some of my favorite and older Ero-games(Kakyuusei 2,Kakyuusei 1, Doukyuusei 2) to help me get over my inability to purchase some new Ero-games for now.

I purchase all the games that I play. I must say, though, that buying ero games outside of Japan is expensive. Japanese games are expensive to begin with, and you'd expect to pay more because of international shipping, but that's not all there is to it. Places like Himeya Shop that ship ero games internationally sell them at retail price. The difference between retail price and many stores prices is much larger for ero games than for console games. For example, at ero game retailer comshop I perordered Leaf's upcoming game フルアニ for 6,580 yen, tax included. That comes out to $56.90. And it's not cheaper because I preordered it, that's just what they charge, even though the retail price is the standard 9,240 yen. At the time of this entry one US dollar is 115.65 Japanese yen. 9,240 yen is $79.90. That's the retail price plus tax. Yet, because people overseas have little choice in where they purchase their games, they can charge $95 for it.
Then you have to pay another $19 for shipping, so you're paying $114 for a game that someone in Japan pays $56.90 for. Of course, the shipping charge is to be expected. There's really nothing that can be done about it, and you can save there by ordering multiple things at once. Still, it would be nice to see someone like comshop start offering international shipping. Oh, and comshop, as well as many other places, offer used games as well. They aren't "used" like that copy of MegaMan X I got from Game Stop in America, that would only play some of the stages. You see any game on the shelf used the day after it went on sale, if not the same day. And they are always in practically new condition. So, just another way to cut the price down another 500 to 1000 yen. So yeah, piracy is no good but the distrobution of these games overseas leaves something to be desired.

H-game prices are usually pre-determined according to their types: a full-fledged game typically runs for the basic 8800 yen (9240 yen with tax), limited editions with bonus goodies might run for 9800 yen (10290 yen with tax), etc... But those are really nothing more than MSRPs (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price), the real street price of a game depends a lot on the game's popularity, brand, demands, etc.. Generally, nobody would ever sell a bishoujo game in Japan for the full retail price (amazon.co.jp, for example, always sells their bishoujo games with a big discount (~25%)).
International dealers like Himeya don't really have to worry about competitions, so they can sell their games at MSRP (or even above ) without worrying about losing sales to others.
But that's also why places like Palet Mail is popping up: international dealers that offer competitive pricings as well as hard-to-find (doujin) goods. To use your FullAni as an example, it's listed for $71.99 over at Palet Mail: still expensive by Japanese standards, but far cheaper than Himeya.
Hopefully, more stores like them will be popping up over time, so maybe we'll begin to see more competitive pricings.

Well, I'm back to playing Baldr Force, now that I got my PS2 to play import games It's quite amusing at the changes they made in order to be able to sell Baldr Force as a console game. Looking forward to the Tsukina route, as that'll probably require the most changes...

I finally got around to playing H2O today and it has completely taken over my free time~ For a school drama, it's absolutely refreshing with it's multi-faceted characters and compelling background story. Each scene leaves a solid impression of the depth of storyline and possible connections between the heroines.
~ah.. and not to mention it's absolutely hilarious! I literally fell on the floor laughing during the scene with Hamaji when "she" confessed her true disposition! Takuma's complex reaction was priceless ^^

Generations Project - Does Anyone Care About Regular People?
Yet everyone complained that they wished that regular people were show on the episodes. There is another show that does this well. But for some reason the genealogy community doesn't talk about it. The Generations Project on BYUTV has been showing episodes about regular people doing their genealogy for the last 12 weeks. But I haven't little to no discussion about the show this season.
Does that mean that genealogists don't really care about watching regular people research their genealogy? If it's not on network TV during prime time, does it not matter?
I've watched every episode of The Generations Project (25 episodes in 2 seasons). I watched them all online on their website. I have enjoyed watching real people research their ancestors' lives and learn more about themselves. Am I the only one that was watching? Why haven't you been watching?
I do have to mention that the publicity for the show this season was lacking. Their Facebook page was rarely updated. Plus they kept moving the start date of the season. Did everyone just forget about it or does no one really like it?

I watched last year but haven't watched any episodes this year. To be honest I forgot about it! Thanks for the reminder!ReplyDelete
I've watched many of them online, and enjoyed them far more than the WDYTYA series.ReplyDelete
I think the short answer is that no, if it's not on network TV during prime time, it doesn't matter (or won't garner much of an audience).ReplyDelete
I don't think most people watch TV shows on their computers and most cable plans don't include BYUTV. If the producers want a wider audience, they should try to make the shows available on more stations and alternate sources, e.g., to Netflix streaming subscribers, as a Roku channel, on iTunes (for Apple TV), on Zune (XBox Live), as a podcast, etc.
If the show is currently available via those sources, then they need to post that on their website (I couldn't find it there). From soem web searching, I did find that apparently BYU TV is now beta testing a Roku channel, so that's a step in the right direction.
Thanks so much for the link! I have heard about the show but didn't know where to find it.ReplyDelete
It's probably a very good question. But, truth be told, I've never seen the show. Very observant of you to mention this. I think with WDYTYA, we all watch it about the same time and talk about it within hours, it's all very easy. I doubt if I will watch the website tho, because I don't watch any show on a 22" screen.ReplyDelete
I enjoyed the show last year but the first couple of episodes this year just weren't very interesting to me so I haven't been watching. I should probably give it another try. Since I switched from cable to Dish, I actually get the BYU channel on TV now.ReplyDelete
I have seen a couple episodes and enjoyed one, the other was boring to me. I have a hard time remembering when they are broadcast, and did not know I could watch them at their website. I use Roku so would probably watch this more often if I could do it on my schedule.ReplyDelete
I also enjoy WDYTYA and have no problem with it highlighting celebrities.
Thanks for the link. I don't have more than a couple of channels and didn't realize that these were available on the internet. :)ReplyDelete
I have been recording the episodes this season and watching as I get the time. I do enjoy the series.ReplyDelete

It's that time of the month again, when our minister of talking to scary foreign people, Tweety Tharoor, says something with some amount of truth (or as journalists call it, a "gaffe") and everyone catches fire. Usually he uses his satanic smart phone to cause a national uproar, this time he gave a speech at the Pravasi Bharat Divas (aka the annual meeting of the Narendra Modi fan club). So while everybody rehashes the Shashi Tharoor-flashes-someone-on-twitter meme into the Shashi Tharoor-disrespects-the-olds meme, and ends up blowing blows hot air up each other's asses, here's what they really mean to say:
The Media: ZOMG! We can't really do any real reporting because all the people who fuck with the country's resources have got us by the balls, but hey look Shashi Tharoor said something. Haha, this guy is like a gift who keeps on giving. STOP THE PRESSES!!! WE GOT A FRONT PAGE HEADLINE FOR TOMMOROW!! LOOK, OUR EDITOR JUST CAME IN HIS PANTS!! OR DON'T BECAUSE THAT IS JUST GROSS!!
The INC(I): How dare someone have an opinion on anything? Doesn't he realize that the Congress is like an army of pods? We are only allowed to think those thoughts which have been downloaded into our brains by either Soniajee Madam or Rahuljee "baba". Everything else is blasphemy. Wait, what do you mean Shashi Tharoor wrote a book spoofing both Nehru and Gandhi? When did that happen? DID SOMEONE TELL MADAM? Don't worry, I think we know who our next Ambassador to Yemen is going to be!
The Shashi Tharoor: Me . . . Me . . . Look at me . . . Imma reach out to y'all. Love me, follow me, read my son's articles, BUY MY BOOKS!!1!! MEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeee . . . . . Gimme a T, gimme a H, gimme an A . . . ~ . . .
The people in Fake India: OMFG! SRK IS ON TWITTER! Now we can see how seriously he
takes himself behind the facade of self-depreciation!
The people in Real India: I can haz blanket?
