Two men have been arrested over an alleged imminent plot to murder two South Australian judges, destroy the judges' homes and that of a senior police officer.
The men, aged 63 and 44 and both from Murray Bridge, southeast of Adelaide, were arrested on Sunday after what major crime detectives described as "a sophisticated investigation" over two months.
Both have been charged with conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to commit arson on a home thereby endangering life.
They have been remanded in custody and will appear in the Murray Bridge Magistrates Court on Monday, where it's expected police will allege the men planned the offences as retribution and that the 63-year-old offered to pay the 44-year-old to carry out the crimes.
In a statement, major crime Detective Inspector Greg Hutchins said police feared the attacks were about to take place.
"The operation culminated due to the risks involved and information that an attack was imminent," he said.
"As the pair is now before the courts on very serious charges we are limited in what can be said about the process and nature of the investigation.
"However, I can say that at all times the safety of those being targeted, and that of their families, was our very highest priority.
"There's no doubt this was a very stressful situation for them and they have managed it with absolute professionalism.
Det Insp Hutchins said the safety of those involved is still being monitored.
"This was a planned attack on two State institutions - the police and the judiciary," he said.
Police have not ruled out further arrests.

You may be entering therapy for the first time and not have a sense of what needs to happen other than you want to feel better. It is important to express this as well. Here is a list of what we have seen to be true for many people about therapy:
- It takes time to establish a trusting relationship with a therapist.
- It is important to go at your own pace and not overwhelm yourself.
- We all resist change. Don't be surprised if you are tempted to quit right before some real changes or breakthroughs are about to happen.
- Becoming more healthy and balanced can feel very unfamiliar and uncomfortable at first.
- Being committed to therapy will change your life. Be prepared to feel some loss from this.
- Others may resist your changes and growth and will need time to adapt.
- Therapy is hard work.
- Your therapist is not perfect and will make mistakes. Hopefully he or she will acknowledge and take responsibility for those mistakes.
- Some therapy is short term (usually focusing on one issue and situational) and other therapy may be longer term (more than one or complex issues.)
- Expect your therapist to have good boundaries, avoid dual relationships, be ethical, and treat you with respect. If not, find another therapist.
Remember that therapy, in the hands of a skilled therapist, is a powerful and life-changing experience.It has been shown to be effective for a variety of illnesses and problems. If you need therapy and work as an active participant in your own treatment, you can expect it will be well worth the time and money you invest.

How Do We Replace T.O.'s Game?
So here we are three days after we let Owens go, a huge mistake in my opinion. How exactly are we going to replace his offense?
Roy Williams will assume the number one spot although he has yet to prove he deserves it. He is paid like a number one receiver, but I cannot see him commanding the same respect that defenses showed Terrell.
As of right now Miles Austin is slotted as the number two receiver, with Crayton still in the three slot. Miles has game, but a number two receiver? I'm not so sure about that. Crayton is where he needs to be. He has proven he can thrive in the slot position.
Then there is Sam Hurd and Isaiah Stanback. Hurd was showing some promise in 2007, but injuries kept him from playing all of last season. Stanback in my eyes is a bust, he has shown little promise as a receiver.
Which leads me wonder, is this who Tony will throw to in 2009?
Now some might think Witten will step up another notch, but I actually think losing T.O. is going to hurt him more than any other player on this team. I have a feeling defenses will be doubling Witten and leave Roy in one on one coverage. Now if Roy can run some decent routes and make some catches it will ease the pressure off of Witten, but that remains to be seen.
Martellus Bennett could be a wild-card in all of this. If he can take the next step, he may be able to make some big plays with all the attention focused on Witten. Lets hope his mind is on the game and that he has matured in the offseason, because he has big-time talent.
Is Jerry going to add a veteran to move into the two spot? There isn't much out there in free agency to fill the spot, Marvin Harrison maybe? Other than that, the best available WR is Bobby Engram, yikes!
There are some rumors that Torry Holt will be released and that the Browns are shopping Braylon Edwards… either of these two would fit in nicely across from Roy.
How about the draft?
Picking 51st in the draft, makes it unlikely that we will grab a receiver that can jump right into the starting lineup like a Michael Crabtree would. I have seen the name Juaquin Iglesias show up a lot in mock drafts for the Cowboys. He is a 6'0″ 205 lb. senior from Oklahoma, and has decent speed, running a 4.45 40, but jumping right in as a starter is a long shot at best .
I don't know about you, but this Cowboys fan is extremely concerned about our receiving corps. I am hoping that Jerry Jones has something up his sleeve or it could be a very ugly season.

When shounen is no longer "shounen" anymore...
I actually hate to make threads like this but I already had this issue quite while ago. At least several years ago when Bleach and Naruto cool to me, I also read lots of good shounen mangas. However things have changed today as some of the shounen manga is losing its "shounen-ness" like rise of pretty boys(bishounen) and some shounen-ai(boys' love) hints. It pretty much like the shounen manga companies start making their products more appealing to female readers and of course their money. As an old-school shounen fan like myself, I felt alienated. The bishies and shounen-ai just don't work with me. Maybe I'm just too old to read the recent shounen titles but I also worry what will happen to shounen genre itself if this trend continues and evolved to whole new level. Will Japanese teenage boys stop reading shounen mangas or at least the sales dropped from the same people?
I also heard a joke from other forums "put some bishies in a non-shoujo mangas and it will print money". I hope someone who made that "joke" was right.

Yeah it also bugs me too. I mean only few shounen titles are really "shounen". Medaka Box for good recent example maybe it had buxom 17-years old girl rather than macho, muscular 17-years old boy. Thanks to Gainax for bringing shounen back to its male-oriented roots.

Also, bishies and shounen-ai? I don't know what you're reading, but there's hardly anything of the sort in the titles I read. If anything, it's just tacked on randomly, but it never becomes important (Toriko x Komatsu anyone? ).

You've just realized that shounen is just a demographic. There is no strict guideline of styles or genres for shounen manga to follow, and the publishers will publish a manga in whatever magazine they feel like.

Well as the marketers found out a lot of women read shounen manga & watch shounen anime and hence they put in elements that will also appeal to a female fan base.
I still think the majority of anime/manga is aimed at a male audience so I guess I cannot sympathize with this post very much.
As for shounen mixed with shoujo elements well that is precisely what Escaflowne was back in the 1990's and I think it turned out pretty well.

Important point before something more on topic. Shounen is a demographic. We've had shounen romances and slices of lifes and other not really "shounen" shounen shows just about forever.
And to continue on that topic for a bit.
Okay then, more actually on topic
Jump's lineup still seems fairly stereotypical shounen still. All examples of "shounen" shounen so far have come from Jump (Naruto, Bleach, Medaka Box).
GFantasy (the magazine for Kuroshitsuji) doesn't really have much of "shounen" shounen, it seems like it never had. Guys that like "shounen" shounen never really were the target of the magazine.
Thus, I don't think this is evidence of the evolution of shounen into "shounen." Is there any example of a "shounen" shounen magazine turning into a not-"shounen" shounen magazine recently, or a "shounen" shounen magazine which has started introducing less "shounen" shounen manga to its lineup recently? I think those would be better examples than pointing out that Kuroshitsuji feels like its pandering to fujoshi.

I realized... they actually allow 10-year-olds to see a crossdressed Ciel getting flustered over Sebastian?
Or this?
Eh, it's just older brother Sebastian watching over Ciel as he sleeps. ...Right?

Pretty much like generic harem shows where the animation is outsourced from South Korea and puts the girl in DVD cover that make otakus buy it, imagine where they put loads of bishies in a shounen manga cover that makes fujoshis buy it. Nowadays, most otakus (even fujoshis) are just reading/watching stuff for fanservice rather than story or characters.

First you have look at your target audience and the type of manga . In most of these "shounen action series", you will obviously see more male characters on the cover because they are usually the stronger/cooler characters than the female ones (which is in my opinion especially true for the big 3 : one piece, bleach, naruto).
Of course you will attract more female fans when the cooler male characters (like Uchiha Sasuke or Hitsugaya Toushiro) are on the cover, however in the case of these kind of series it's unintentional.
Compare it with American Comics, if i wanted to buy like a JLA comic, then i rather want to see superman, batman, green lantern or even the martian manhunter on the cover instead of wonderwoman or black canary. No offense to the people who likes those female heroines, but most teenage males prefer male heroes over female heroines because they can identify or idealize more with male ones.
The ecchi/harem shounen series have more likely female characters on their covers, because the female characters are the main selling point for these kind of series. In the few cases that there is a male character on the cover, then it's really not meant for the female audience. You can't possibly think that for example in the rosario+vampire manga, when Tsukune is on the cover that the sales will increase thanks to the fujoshi also buying the manga?
As for the topic starter, do you have some examples of "shounen manga's" that don't seem to target the shounen audience anymore? I can't seem to think of any at all. I have to agree that most "shounen series" are also attracting female readers, however the plot and settings never shifted to suit it for a completely different type of readers. Like the prince of tennis and hitman reborn also have a huge ammount of female fans, however these manga's still remain targetted for the male teen audience.

Konomi even relaunched the PoT with a sequel after many years and if he really had more female fans, then what would have stopped him from making some big changes for the female readers? He didn't and probably couldn't because he can't write PoT differently and if he did, then the serie would have lost all of it's male fans.
Also how many "yaoi overtones" scenes have you seen in PoT and reborn to even claim that it's no longer targetted for men? I am still following these series and i haven't seen anything remotely yaoi.

On second thought, the manga/anime on my sig (Yu-Gi-Oh!) is a shounen. Yet, I hear it has lots of fangirls due to the bishounens (Yugi, Kaiba, Jou, Ryo, Malik, etc), although I doubt it's intentional. No wonder there's A LOT of yaoi fanfics & fanarts depicting Yami YugixYugi Mutou, YugixKaiba, YugixJou, YugixRyo, KaibaxJou, etc . Maybe they mistake "bromance" for "romance" ? Just to be clear, there's no slight hint of yaoi in Yu-Gi-Oh! in case you're wondering.
If we merely talking about "pretty boys" in shounens, then Saint Seiya has them in spades. Some of the males are even very beautiful, many mistook them for females. Don't forget that it's a manga/anime from the 80s, not a recent shounen series. And yeah, it also has a lot of fangirls. Don't know whether it's intentional or not. Still, as far as I can remember, there's no yaoi hints, just "bromance" (although the scene where Shun heated up Hyoga's body is very suspicious ).
Yu Yu Hakusho, on the other hand, has that element of bishies (e.g. Kurama) and yaoi in the form of the relationship between antagonist Sensui and his male-friend (forgot his name). But that manga/anime is from 90s, not a new material. Hunter x Hunter also follows it later on.
So yeah, I don't think Shonen-ai hints & (especially) pretty boys are new trend to shounen series today.

The big advantage with Del Rey is that they provide a wealth of translation and cultural notes. For example in the first volume of SR we have..
2 pages covering the use (and non-use) of honorifics and
12 pages (yes, twelve pages) of translation notes.
Theses notes are contained at the start (Honorifics) and end (Translation) of the manga.
They explain why (in Vol 2) Harima leaves off the -san honorific when talking to Itoko-san for example, without this the joke doesn't work or have much meaning. They use terms like "Mama-chari" (and supply a translation note, it's a specific type of bike) and "Yagami-saka Hill", which is an intensional typo.
There is one example given where the translation is different (Vol 2 p.43) but that's because the Japanese wouldn't make much sense, again it's all explained in the notes. Oh yes, they also translate the side notes on the pages (text that ran vertically on some of the pages).
So I think they have done a very good job (like the other Del Rey translations I've seen) but please remember that translation is an art anyway. It comes down to personal preference on the style.
And if anyone is wondering what chapters are in what Volume, so far we have the following
Volume 1 contains
Chapters 1 to 16 (sharp #, main story)
Chapters 1 to 2 (flat b, side story)
Volume 2 contains
Chapters 17 to 30 (sharp #, main story)
Chapters 3 to 5 (flat b, side story)

Del Ray has a bad rep for many MANY translation errors with their manga projects.. >_<;;
Good thing I buy either the Chuang Yi or the Tong Li chinese versions.. which brings up the topic: Any chinese readers here? I haven't found a Tong Li version yet (I like TL better).. Is SR Chuang Yi only?

Do the Penguin Dance!
I bought Volume 2
It really annoyed me that Del Rey used "Punk" instead of "Delinquent". Maybe in America that is the most accepted term, but imagine Tenma or Itoko saying "Punk"? It isn't that nice. -_-;
Otherwise, the translations are fine, though sometimes the Japanese Culture notes (aside from the name Honorifics and the others found on the first few pages) are neglected.

just got manga.6 favorite cover!
Harima the baka cover. with the Mikoto pose on manga.vol4.
I've noticed a patern about the manga's...it's like this first part was all Eri then Yakumo then Eri then Yakumo. It kinda got to me in vol.2 noticed how'd Yakumo and Eri kinda alternate everytime there's a new manga. It doesn't focus on one character alone. Except our main hero Harima. Tenma you say? Well imho Harima plays more or the main charcter rather than the secondary.

The black dog is also a legend in North America, some parts of Europe and Australia. Australa has a special kind of Black Dog named Mirii Dogs.

Anywhoo... bet you hadnt noticed until I stated so anyway I think I might draw a black dog now, Ive gotten really curious about them over the last few days.
Posted 07 January 2008 - 11:42 PM
I have a black dog legend from my mother's native country of Argentina.
My relatives live in Monte Grande, (big mountain) in Buenos Aires, about 40 mins out from the city. I was 14 when my uncle died so my brother, my mum and I left Australia to see the family in Buenos Aires. Monte Grande is full of dirt roads, many trees and it is not safe to be out late at night.
One of my aunts, Josepha and my grandmother both live 2 houses from each other, and one of my other aunts, Marie lives about a good 500 metres down the road. I was at my aunt's Marie's place and remembered I was told to be indoors by 10pm by my aunt Josepha. I was also told that if I saw a black dog within a pack of wild stray dogs, to stay away from it or it would swallow me whole and I would disappear forever.
I laughed at this and dismissed it. So I was at my aunt Marie's place and it was late at night and I was walking back to aunt Josepha's which is where I was staying at the time, and I was almost home, when i heard a sound in the distance. It sounded like horses, hooves on the ground, but not as heavy. I turned around and saw a wild pack of dogs from down the road coming towards me. Now packs of wild dogs are very common in the country there. There are strays everywhere. So I wasn't too alarmed, but as I looked closer, I saw a black dog running with the pack. It was almost as if it was running along, but in the centre of the group, like it was being protected or something.
Well I saw the black dog and RAN as fast as I could to my aunt's place. I tried to open the gate was it was jammed. I kept trying until the dogs were almost where I was so I jumped the BAD_WORD gate and watched them just run past the house. I thought they would have stopped and barked at the gate where I was?
Anyway my mum told me the reason why people need to stay indoors at night is because there is a legend that if a mother has 7 daughters or 7 sons, the 7th child turns into a creture at night that scours the streets and also the graveyards and feasts on anything it can find. Dead animals, dead people it will dig up who have just been buried etc.
If you let the black dog come near you, it will rub up against your legs and eat you up.
You can tell if the 7th son or daughter is one of these because he or she will appear 'ill' during the day. They are skinny, yellowish skin and big eyes.
I asked mum if we knew any families overseas who have 7 daughters or 7 sons, or if they knew of anyone in the neighbourhood with 7 sons or daughters and she said no, thank god lol.
Strange though, true?? I shat myself when she told me the ACTUAL story!!!! I want to go back and visit my relatives soon, but I know i wont be out that late every again lol

We Nutmeggers have our own Black Dog legend, The Black Dog of the Hanging Hills. It is said the first time you see the black dog it will be joyous, the second, sorrowful, and the third time will lead to your demise.
Legend goes that in the 1890's a man by the name of Pynchon was in the Meriden area studying the rock formations of the hills. He came upon a very friendly black dog who followed him a good part of the day. He was happy to have a companion with him during his somewhat lonely journey so he did not mind the dog following at all. Upon leaving back for his home in NY, Pynchon noticed the dog disappear back into the hills.
A few years later, Pynchon returned to the hills with a friend so they could study the hills further. Upon encampment they told stories of their trips in the general area. The friend had mentioned on two separate occasions, while visiting the area, seeing a similar black dog to the one that Pynchon had met. The colleagues continued climbing through the hills when they both spotted the black dog up on a ledge. On deciding to go visit the canine, the friend slipped on the rock and fell to his death, leaving Pynchon quite sorrowful.
Pynchon, undeterred by the demise of his friend, came back some years later to again study the area further. His body was found at the bottom of the cliffs. Apparently he had fallen while scaling the rocks. We can only assume he saw the black dog for a third time.
You can find more about the story here:

Aced out: Six-game winning streak ends in rout
ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays lost their ace in the third inning and saw their six-game winning streak snapped in a 9-2 loss to the Red Sox on Wednesday night at Tropicana Field.
David Price started for the Rays and looked sharp in the first two innings, bringing to mind the pitcher who claimed the American League Cy Young Award last season.View Full Game Coverage
ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays lost their ace in the third inning and saw their six-game winning streak snapped in a 9-2 loss to the Red Sox on Wednesday night at Tropicana Field.
David Price started for the Rays and looked sharp in the first two innings, bringing to mind the pitcher who claimed the American League Cy Young Award last season.View Full Game Coverage
"I thought he was throwing the ball really well tonight," manager Joe Maddon said. "The velocity was good. He threw some good breaking balls. I thought it looked pretty well tonight."
Price walked Stephen Drew to start the third and Jacoby Ellsbury followed with a single through the middle. One out later, Dustin Pedroia singled to right to drive home Drew, and David Ortiz followed suit with a single that scored Ellsbury.
After throwing the pitch to Ortiz, Price motioned to the Rays' dugout. Pitching coach Jim Hickey, Maddon and head athletic trainer Ron Porterfield met with Price, and after conferring for a couple of minutes, the southpaw's night was over after just 57 pitches due to left triceps tightness.
"Just felt a little tightness in my triceps on a couple of fastballs," said Price, who allowed four runs on five hits over 2 1/3 frames.
He will be re-evaluated Thursday, but according to Maddon, the chances of Price making his next start on Monday are "unlikely."
Jamey Wright took over for Price, surrendering an RBI double to Mike Napoli and an RBI single to Jonny Gomes. Jarrod Saltalamacchia drew a walk to load the bases, and then Drew hit his second career grand slam, which cleared the wall in right-center field.
"Finally, we broke out with the eight runs in one inning," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "Gave us some cushion to allow [starter] Jon [Lester] to go out and pitch. More than anything, for our guys to go up and swing with some freedom, take some at-bats with some confidence. A good night offensively, particularly in the one inning."
Wright made no excuses for his 1 1/3 innings.
"I just stunk tonight," Wright said.
"I threw two sinkers right down the middle. One got hit for a double and one got hit up the middle. Then a cutter into Drew, I tried to go up and in and I threw it right down and in right into his swing path. He hit a home run. It was awful. I didn't do my job out there today -- especially with the winning streak and things are going good."
The Rays got two back in the bottom of the third when Desmond Jennings hit an RBI triple and scored when Ben Zobrist grounded out to cut the lead to 8-2.
Lester had a lot to do with the Rays' inability to mint scoring opportunities.
"We've been playing great," Maddon said. "We kept fighting. We just couldn't get the hit tonight. Lester kept us off-balance. He was able to throw a variety of pitches for strikes, and he didn't walk people. He had zero walks. That was the thing that stood out to me."
Price's early departure prompted some overtime from the Rays' bullpen, which normally doesn't get busy until at least the sixth inning. On Wednesday night, the situation became all hands on deck.
Cesar Ramos took over from Wright and allowed just one hit while striking out two in three scoreless innings. Kyle Farnsworth and Josh Lueke covered the final 2 1/3 innings.
Maddon saluted Ramos' work for helping to save the bullpen for Thursday's series finale.
Ramos "saved a lot of lifting at the end of the game by the other guys," Maddon said. "Kyle only had to get four outs and Josh had to get only three outs because of the work Cesar did in the middle. So that was outstanding.
"The bullpen situation for tomorrow is not awful, really, because of what Cesar did. I'm sure Farnsworth will be fine tomorrow, Lueke will be fine tomorrow, and I would bet Wright will be fine tomorrow. Probably the only guy who won't be available tomorrow is Ramos."
"Playing the game hard" is Maddon's mantra. If his team embraces that philosophy, he feels the wins will come. Despite taking the starch-filled punch to the nose in the third inning, the Rays continued to fight hard until the last out. Once the bats were finally sacked, Maddon tipped his cap to the effort his troops.
"I loved the fight," Maddon said. "I loved it. I absolutely loved it. We were a hit away from getting back in the thing. The runners were on base and we were working good at-bats. ... We did really well offensively getting things started. We just couldn't finish it off."

With alot of raw places and internet storage files being downed by SOPA/PIPA and other shitty bills the congress is working on....
Will we still get our R+VS2 raws and scanlations? Or do we have to have long monthly waits for the licensed ones?

SOPA and PIPA got tos'd out the window b4 it even went on vote.
The main supports all dropped it in fear of not ever getting relected again due to the massive boycoytt GoDaddy got which was HUGH. Much bigger then they ever thought would be possible... which forced GoDaddy to change there sides on SOPA.
(damage was done tho, and GoDaddy Paid hardcore.)
As well as the masses who went in protest threatening congress members of never seeing a next reelection ever again should it pass.
The reason they are down is because once again USA thinks its all mighty and shut down megaupload as well as forced the owners in New Zealand and non US countries to be turned over to US Custody to stand trail. Some aren't even US citizens which is funny.
Expect more drama to come from this.... it means ur not safe ANYWHERE against MPAA / RIAA.

Japan and South Korea already told the U.S to fuck off, so I believe scanlations are safe for the moment. Plus I don't think this siege will last long anyway, retaliation could get ugly if they don't back off. So far it's only been petty pranks, but I don't think they want Anonymous to really get serious. Sony for one can't afford another attack on the PSN...

If Alucard awakens of course, since it's not 100% confirmed that he is going to awaken, especially considering the fact that, the protagonists have a little chance of fighting against him.
Anyway, I don't see Tsukune using his vampire / youjutsu abilities until his fight with Akua, and unfortunately, it will still take some time, before we get to that fight...
Still, with the introduction of the Masked King behind us, which is in my opinion, the main reason why this arc has considerably slowed down with all of the battle's against the subdivision Fairy Tale leaders, I hope that this arc is going to speed up again...
Anyway, since there is not much time, before the next chapter comes out, what do you think we will see in it...
In my opinion, a large portion of the chapter is going to be spent on Tsukune and the girls that are with him, trying to deal with Yukari's and Fong Fong's situation (which certainly isn't good), and if we go with the predictable route a new Fairy Tale subdivision leader is going to show up, but like I said earlier, I hope that after the introduction of the Masked King Ikeda won't go down the predictable route , and is going to move this arc's story toward the confrontation between Tsukune and Akua, which is definitely going to be more interesting then what we have seen in this arc so far (at least to me).

At the same time reinforcements in the form of Kokoa, Gin, Haiji, Fong Fong's sister + (maybe) Tohou Fuhai are going to arrive to Fairy Tale's headquarters, serving as an distraction that will catch Gyokuro's and the rest of the Fairy Tale's subdivision leader's attention clearing the path for Tsukune, so that he could proceed toward the place where Moka currently is.
After all, I believe that there is a strong possibility that Gyokuro is going to underestimate Tsukune, thinking that Akua is enough to keep Tsukune busy, giving Alucard enough time to resurrect, while Tohou Fuhai could definitely mess up her plans - naturally she will be wrong, since Gyokuro has no idea that Tsukune has trained for an entire month specifically to be capable of defating Akua - something that is most likely going to be pointed out during the Gyokuro - Tohou Fuhai fight that I also think is going to happen in the current arc (since I don't think there is someone else, who would be capable of fighting Gyokuro, because Akasha is still sealed within Alucard, and it hasn't been confirmed that she is actually going to get out of there, in the current arc - although there is a huge chance of that happening, since both Tsukune and Moka need an "instructor" that will teach them how to properly use their Shinso blood...
Anyway, this is how, in my opinion, the plot of the current arc is going to continue developing...

Let's see, Yuuki Gairen and two subdivision leaders left and Sai-Lung and Routier are going to ally with Tsukune's group (YAY! enemies became allies), so Yuuki is the next opponent to have his butt handed to him.
Hopefully next chapter, Fong-Fong, Sai-Lung, Yukari and Routier will get back on their feet to fight and defeat Gairen or unless my idea that its time for reinforcements to arrive and save the others from Yuuki comes into play, only to have Tsukune and the girls proceed further. i'm guessing Mizore and Kurumu will handle the last two leaders and hopefully it will be time for Tsukune Vs. Akua after, unless Kahlua or Miyabi get in Tsukune's way, i don't really see Miyabi doing anything just yet, but as for Kahlua, she might get in his way.
As for that Masked King guy, i guess his opponent will be Touhou, that guy is going to get so owned.

Unfortunately, their presence will fit exactly into Miyabe and Hokuto's plans. I hope Touhou's prepared for the inevitable double-cross at the end. Cross that, I hope Tsukune's prepared for it, since it's bound to happen. Only then will we know Miyabe's true objective, and whether it conflicts the Masked King's goal.
More probably, I'd say the A Team will encounter either the bearded youkai or the masked swordsman, the only two subdivision leaders to make an appearance. Hopefully the B Team will arrive then, or they'll be in a real pickle then. Though we'll find out in another couple of weeks. Until then...

Well, if Hokuto and Miyabi's plans involve kidnapping Moka, then I believe that Tsukune is definitely going to snap out of whatever state he's going to be in, when Hokuto, Miyabi and Kiria revel their true colors.
I also agree with you Alhazad2003, about Gairen, since I also find it unlikely that team A or team B will be fighting against him - the most likely option, in my opinion, is that he's going to be defeated, after he appears to "punish" Hokuto, Kiria and Miyabi for their "betrayal" and is going to be defeated by them...
As for the last two Fairy Tale subdivision leaders, I don't think that Tsukune has the time to bother with them, so either they are going to concentrate on team B, due to the presence of Tohou Fuhai, or if they cross paths with team A , the girls (Kurumu and Mizore to be exact, most likely with Ruby's support) are going to be left behind to deal with him (or her), while Tsukune moves ahead - after all, he doesn't have the time to bother how the girls would deal with the next subdivision leader that crosses their path - which is something that is definitely going to be pointed out in the next chapter.

PREDICTION(possibly): Yuuki Gairen gets away believing that he killed Fong-Fong, Sai-Lung, Yukari and Routier, and then Touhou's team arrives just in time to rescue them, elsewhere, Tsukune's remaining team proceeds deeper only to encounter the other two unknown subdivision leaders, while Mizore and Kurumu have their fight with them, Tsukune and Ruby continue down until finally they reach Akua or unless someone else gets in the way, i'm betting that itle either be Miyabi or Kahlua, perhaps it might even be Gyokuro.
I don't know if something like this will happen though, just something i thought up.

Well, it's pretty obvious that Tsukune won't do anything that would sacrifice Moka, since he loves her.
Anyway, I have been wondering what the current arc is going to bring to the general plot of the story, and for now, I could think that it will be this:
- Introducing a new antagonist that the hero's will need to face in the future (the Masked King) and revving old antagonists that have not given up, despite being defeated earlier (Kiria, Hokuto and Miyabi - who was knocked out by Tsukune in the Yuki Onna village arc, so I think, it could be considered as an "defeat")
- Strengthening the bond between Tsukune and Moka (especially the Inner one), due to the fact that Tsukune has become less human by stabilizing hie vampire transformation (although, I doubt that all the comparability issues between Tsukune's humanity and the Shinso vampire blood in his veins have been resolved by the human modification ritual), and both personalities of Moka know how important Tsukune's humanity is to him (Rosario + Vampire Season I, chapter 11), once again making both personalities of Moka realize that they are more important to Tsukune then the fact that he is (or rather was, since at this point I doubt Tsukune can be considered fully human) a human.
- Making the fact that Moka has injected her blood into a human known to the general vampire population, which is definitely going to make the relations between Tsukune, Moka and the general population of the vampire race a little strained, maybe even turn into open hostility, which could make the general population of vampires the third antagonist (besides the Masked King and the Hokuto - Miyabi - Kiria trio) that the protagonists would need to deal with (my assumption)
- Considerably weakening the Rosario that Moka wears, due to the whole Alucard resurrection ritual, of course assuming that it won't break completely... since the Rosario wasn't in a stable state to begin with and we don't know how much Tohou Fuhai's quick repairs have helped in keeping Moka's seal stable.
- Reviving the whole human - ayashi war if Alucard is going to awaken, if Ikeda actually wants to go into that direction - naturally, I'm assuming that this scenario doesn't have much chances of occurring, but at this point, it still remains a possibility...
And that's all of the developments (that I could think off, at the current point in the story) , that could be brought into the story, as a result of the events in the current arc.

Secure Carbon Storage
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an important element in Canada's emissions reduction strategy. Of paramount importance in the development of CCS sites is the ability to quantitatively track the injected CO2 plume in the storage formation and to detect and remediate any leaks. The verification of storage is critical to public acceptance of CCS and will become a regulatory requirement for commercial projects.
Comprehensive monitoring protocols need to be established, using a wide range of technologies. CMC's researchers are working to develop monitoring, measurement, and verification technologies and protocols that will allow for the stable, secure storage of carbon dioxide.
Theme C Lead: Dr. Don Lawton
Professor and Canadian Society of Exploration Geophysicists Chair
University of Calgary
Dr. Don Lawton is Director of the Fold-Fault Research Project (FRP) which involves integrated geophysical and geological research into the 3-D geometry and evolution of structures of economic and academic interest in fold and thrust belts. He is also Associate Director of the Consortium for Research in Elastic Wave Exploration Seismology (CREWES).
His research interests include acquisition, processing and interpretation of multi-component and conventional seismic data and near surface geophysical studies for environmental applications and for reflection static corrections. He has a PhD and B.Sc. (Hon.) from the Department of Geoscience at Auckland University.
C01 Storage geochemistry
Principal Investigators:
Bernhard Mayer, UCalgary; Benjamin Rostron, UAlberta; Barbara Sherwood Lollar, UToronto
Of paramount importance for the geological storage of CO2 is the ability to track the injected CO2 plume in the storage formation and to detect and remediate any leaks through the caprock into overlying formations, shallow aquifers or release into the atmosphere. As a complimentary tool to geophysical techniques, geochemical and isotopic techniques enable the tracing of the movement of injected CO2 where a sufficient number of observation wells are available to obtain fluid and gas samples prior to CO2 injection (baseline) and regularly after CO2 injection commences (monitoring). The overall objective of this project is to develop and use quantitative hydrogeological and geochemical techniques to trace the movement and the fate of injected CO2 in the storage reservoirs.Go To Top
C02 Adapting Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment methods to site evaluation for carbon capture and storage
Principal Investigators:
David Eaton, UCalgary; Jeffrey Gu, UAlberta
Public acceptance of geological storage of CO2 is critical for the success of CCS initiatives and it will depend on numerous factors. One area of public concern is potential loss of caprock integrity resulting from earthquake or injection induced ground motions, even in areas of relatively low seismic hazard. Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment (PSHA) is well established as a methodology to determine earthquake risks. However, they are not tailored for CCS applications since they are primarily designed for the built environment at surface. In collaboration with federal and provincial agencies, this project will develop earthquake risk assessment tools that are tailored for CCS. These tools will account for depth of burial, subsurface conditions and hazard levels appropriate to a multi-century design lifetime of geological storage facilities.Go To Top
C04 Storage geophysics and monitoring
Principal Investigators:
Don Lawton, UCalgary; Gary Margrave, UCalgary; Mauricio Sacchi, UAlberta
Our goal is to monitor injection of CO2, determine if it is possible to track the plume in the reservoir, and to monitor possible leaks from the storage reservoir. This requires high fidelity time-lapse seismic data since the change in seismic character due to substitution of pore fluids from brine with supercritical CO2 is subtle. Improvements in imaging algorithms are required to better resolve these subtle changes. Innovative surveys are needed with 3D multi-component surface seismic surveys recorded simultaneously with a multi-offset and multi-azimuth vertical seismic profiles recorded in an observation well. Our research team is becoming involved in seismic monitoring for several gigaton scale CCS projects in Alberta, including CO2 storage in deep saline aquifers as well as enhanced oil recovery from partially depleted reservoirs.Go To Top
C05 Seismic behaviour of CO2 saturated sandstones: laboratory measurements and modeling
Principal Investigators:
Doug Schmitt, UAlberta and Mauricio Sacchi, UAlberta
Geophysical monitoring of CO2 injection in the subsurface cannot be successful without detailed knowledge of how the physical properties of the reservoir and caprocks behave as the conditions of fluid saturation, pore pressure, stress, and temperature vary during CO2 injection and migration. As such, this research seeks to carry out an extensive series of laboratory measurements of the seismic wave speeds and attenuations on both porous calibration samples and on actual rock materials related to the parallel field studies undertaken by other CMC projects. The materials will undergo a full petrophysical characterization using standard methods but supplemented with new micron scale X-ray CT scanning to better understand the microscopic pore structures.Go To Top
C06 Carbon capture for CCS by solid oxide fuel cells
Principal Investigators:
Viola Birss, UCalgary; Olivera Kesler, UToronto
New technologies are needed for electric power generation systems that are capable of higher efficiency and lower cost CO2 capture than currently achievable with combustion-based power generation. These new technologies must provide a clean CO2 stream that is suitable for injection and storage into underground geological reservoirs or into innovative new CO2 storage systems. Of these, the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is a power generation system that can perform both of these roles at very high efficiency and at multiple scales, from kilowatt to megawatt electrical output. They are potentially important for smaller-scale dispersal applications. Although SOFCs still require enhanced durability, they do not need additional costly technologies in order to exhaust nitrogen-free CO2/high grade steam. However, when used strictly for combined heat and power generation, 10 to 25% unspent fuel and lesser volumes of carbon monoxide may be present in the exhaust. The proposed research of the Birss and Kesler groups will focus on lowering the unspent fuel output levels by designing and performing lab-scale tests of modified SOFC components.Go To Top
C07 Carbon mineralization in mine waste
Principal Investigators:
Gregory Dipple, UBC; Ulrich Mayer, UBC; Gordon Southam, UWO; Michael Hitch, UBC
Mine waste has an inherent but untapped capacity to absorb and trap CO2. In hard rock mine waste rocks and tailings that are rich in magnesium silicate minerals, carbon fixation capacity can be much larger than total greenhouse gas production from mine operations. Some large mines could therefore operate as net carbon sinks. Furthermore, the capacity to store CO2 in intact magnesium silicate rocks through injection into the such rocks is potentially large and involves similar reaction pathways. This research will evaluate processes for capturing CO2 in mine waste and fixing the carbon with mineral precipitates for safe long-term storage. The project will examine the chemical reactions by which CO2 is trapped and fixed in mineral form through controlled laboratory experiments. The role of biologically mediated reactions will also be examined experimentally.Go To Top
C206 Integrated gravimetric and geodetic monitoring of geological CO2 storage
Principal Investigators:
Jeong Woo Kim, UCalgary; Michael Sideris, UCalgary; Spiros Pagiatakis, York U; James Merriam, USaskatchewan; Joseph Henton, National Resources Canada; Patrick Wu, UCalgary; Wooil Moon, UManitoba; Michael Collins, UCalgary; Bernhard Mayer, UCalgary
Investigators will use a new technology to measure centimetre-scale deformations in Earth's surface related to fluid injection into subsurface reservoirs to monitor CO2 injection processes. Researchers will also use a new type of gravity meter to monitor small, local changes in Earth's gravity field relating to changes in fluid distributions in CO2 injection reservoirs. This method, along with specialized seismic, geochemical and other monitoring techniques, will allow the researchers to keep a detailed eye in the ground at CO2 storage sites.Go To Top
C208 Innovative approaches to microseismic monitoring of underground CO2 injection: Seismic interferometry and ultralow frequency deformation events
Principal Investigators:
Mirko Van der Baan, UAlberta; David Eaton, UCalgary; Ted Urbancic, Engineering Seismology Group
In a field-based study, researchers will monitor the subsurface at CO2 injection sites for normally undetectable "micro-earthquakes" to help assess movement of the injected CO2 into other formations. Using the world's first university-based borehole microseismic system, the team will test to see if their methods can effectively monitor subtle changes to the rockmass produced by the injected CO2 and use the results to better assess CO2 movement in CO2 storage reservoirs.Go To Top
C223 Storage geomechanics and reservoir modeling
Principal Investigators:
Christopher Hawkes, USaskatchewan; Ron Wong, UCalgary; Yuri Leonenko, UWaterloo; Antonin Settari, UCalgary
Scientists are investigating the most secure and effective means of CO2 injection and storage. The team is already studying the mechanical and fluid-transport properties of caprocks and CO2 reservoir rocks by testing rock samples in the lab. The next step is to develop models to predict how injected CO2 might flow through the rocks, and assess if it will damage rock formations at particular storage sites. A field study will allow the researchers to work up to a full-scale study in which 10-30 megatonnes of CO2 will be injected underground.Go To Top
C233 Distributed all-optical CO2 sensing for field-scale subsurface carbon management
Principal Investigators:
Peter Wild, UVictoria; David Risk, St. Francis Xavier U; David Sinton, UToronto; Martin Jun, UVictoria; Don Lawton, UCalgary
Harsh environmental conditions combined with the deep location and large size of CO2 storage sites make it a challenge to monitor, measure and verify what becomes of injected CO2 over the long term. In a lab-to-field project, researchers will pioneer a fibre-optic system specifically to measure CO2 concentrations and detect possible leaks at storage sites. The innovative project will make use of patented fibre-optic pressure-sensing technology and patented techniques developed at St. Francis-Xavier University to measure CO2 fluxes.Go To Top
C247 Secure Storage of Impure CO2 in the Form of Solid Hydrate in Depleted Gas Pools in Northern Alberta
Principal Investigators:
Hassan Hassanzadeh, UCalgary; Mehran Pooladi-Darvish, UCalgary; Peter Englezos, UBC; Shahin Dashtgard, Simon Fraser U
This work focuses on developing a novel method to store CO2 as an icy semi-solid "gas hydrate" in spent gas pools. The experimental method could make it possible to securely store CO2 emissions associated with oil sands in northeast Alberta without the need for long distance transfer. The team not only plans to demonstrate CO2-hydrate formation, but also to assess the potential storage capacity of depleted gas reservoirs and design a pilot study for an actual site.Go To Top
C319 Carbonate production by sequestration of industrial CO2: revalorization of mine and industrial waste
Principal Investigators:
Guy Mercier, Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS); Jean-Francois Blais, INRS; Sandra Kentish, U of Melbourne; Ian Gates, U of Calgary
Industry Participants:
Holcim Canada & SIGMA DEVTECH
In nature, CO2 can be removed from the atmosphere through a process called carbon mineralization whereby CO2 reacts with minerals to form carbonate rock. The goal of this project, which is being undertaken with industrial partners Holcim Canada and SIGMA DEVTECH, is to use this type of reaction and accelerate it to treat industrial CO2 emissions.
The group will be reacting various magnesium and calcium rocks available in mine tailings with the gaseous emission (containing CO2) of a Holcim cement plant with the participation of the cement plant staff in a chemical reactor (a plant in itself). Doing so, silicate of magnesium or calcium, depending on the rocks, used will be transformed to carbonate of magnesium or calcium. Researchers will focus on developing an economically attractive process as well as one that is easily integrated into industrial applications. Cost reductions are being accomplished by decreasing the number of steps, working in low temperature/pressure conditions, and by finding commercial outlets for the carbonated byproducts. The aim is to implement the process in a variety of industries such as steel, coal power plants and cement plants in order to achieve a meaningful decrease of CO2 emissions to the atmosphere.Go To Top
C390 Accelerating carbon mineralization in mine wastes
Principal Investigators:
Greg Dipple, University of British Columbia (UBC); Michael Hitch, UBC; Ulrich Mayer, UBC; Gordon Southam, U of Western Ontario; Siobhan Wilson, Monash University (Australia); John Wen, U of Waterloo; Murray Thomson, U of Toronto
The long-term goal of the carbon mineralization project is to develop methods for accelerating carbon sequestration within mine waste and, through partnership with industry, establish a demonstration project for carbon mineralization. Many mines produce waste capable of storing CO2 but passive fixation rates from the atmosphere are generally slow (50,000 tonnes CO2 per year or less per mine site). By increasing the level of CO2 in gas streams, the research team can accelerate mineralization in hard rock mine waste and tailings. The team projects that direct capture at remote mine sites could lead to carbon fixation rates of ~0.25 million tonnes CO2 per year at a large mine, while coupling industrial CO2 streams proximal to more accessible mine sites could lead to carbon fixation rates of ~1 million tonnes per year at a single site.Go To Top
C393 Physical-chemical response to geomechanical processes during geological sequestration of scCO2
Principal Investigators:
Giovanni Grasselli, University of Toronto; Aimy Bazylak, U of Toronto; Patrick Selvadurai, McGill University; Subhasis Ghoshal, McGill University; Alfonso Mucci, McGill University; David Cole, Ohio State University; John Wen, U Waterloo, Carolyn Ren, U Waterloo, Janusz Kozinski, York University; Morris Flynn, U of Alberta
Presently, CO2 numerical simulations focus on just two processes, hydro and chemical, which often disregards the effect of mechanical stresses and geometry of the geological formations where CO2 is stored. Researchers on this project are working to provide a more complete picture of how injected CO2 interacts and influences complex geological formations. Through this project, scientists will develop a computational system that incorporates micro-scale level thermo, hydro, mechanical and chemical (THMC) processes that occur when CO2 is injected into geologic rock formations. This system will be used to estimate large-scale processes such as the rates at which CO2 can be injected without compromising the storage integrity of the host rock formation, the nature and extent of the stable plumes that develop as injection proceeds for several decades, and their possible interaction with potable groundwater systems.Go To Top
C394 A new approach to quantitative CO2 injection monitoring with geo-electrical methods
Principal Investigators:
Dr. Bernard Giroux, Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS); Klaus Spitzer, Technische Universität Bergakadmie Freiberg; Douglas Schmitt, U of Alberta; Cornelia Schmidt-Hattenberger, GRZ Centre for CO2 Storage, Potsdam; Don White, Geological Survey of Canada
Industry/Other Participants:
Geological Survey of Canada, Natural Resources Canada, Petroleum Technology Resource Centre, Junex
Wide-scale public acceptance of CCS will not happen if the process is not viewed as secure. Researchers are working to improve methods to monitor the movement and behavior of CO2 that's been injected into storage sites. The aim of this project is to develop a new approach that will improve quantitative monitoring and contribute to the deployment of CCS at scales significant for climate change mitigation. Researchers are developing an effective downhole geoelectrical technique that will complement current seismic methods used to monitor injected CO2. Data gathered through this new technique will be used to study and compare the relationship between the electrical conductivity and seismic properties of CO2/brine/rock mixtures. The technology will be tested in the lab and in the field and will lead to improved interpretation of seismic data.Go To Top

London-based Cypriot born designer Alexandra Hadjikyriacou created her brand House of Had in 2013 specialising in complex knitwear. Having moved to London in 2007 to study Fashion Textiles at Central Saint Martins, Hadjikyriacou took her love of craftsmanship and colour and combined it with her inspirations from cross-global cultures and civilisations to create bold, intricately patterned knits. Drawing on her own background for its aesthetic, Hadjikyriacou incorporates complex patterns into her ready-to-wear collections and renders them in bold yet refined colour palettes. Abstracting classic construction techniques, House of Had collections feature relaxed silhouettes, graphic woven jacquards and unique knitting techniques.
The SS16 collection titled 'Nobody Knows Who You Are' is inspired by Cyprien Gaillard's 'Nightlife' and Sebastien Schipper's thriller 'Victoria.' Oddly animated flora and plants in urban landscapes inform the collection's dark digital prints that have been developed on lightweight silks and cottons whilst mysterious trees appear in technical weaves and woven jacquards in different weighted threads to highlight an urge of colours to break free. Capara continues to challenge silhouette this season with exaggerated shoulders, oversized jackets and structured dresses. Fluid skirts are evocative of the tendrils of smoke in Gaillard's 'Nightlife' whilst the Olympic spectacle fireworks are translated in the collection's bold red, yellow and blue colour palette.

Don't expect him to be Chris Kunitz. Take him for what he is, a 3rd liner, and all the sudden you realize what type of value he brings to the table in that role.
Meh. He does all of that...sometimes. When Kennedy is confident, he's a borderline second line winger. When Kennedy is lacking confidence, he's a borderline NHL'er. Combine the two, and he's a third liner. He is a tenacious forechecker when he wants to be. He is good at the cycle when he wants to be. He does provide secondary scoring in spurts. He is average, at best, defensively, and benefits mostly from his speed and having two very defense-minded linemates. And he does provide a lot of energy.
By no means would I want Jeffrey over him -- but I certainly won't be too sad if/when he is replaced.
Oh I agree he is absolutely replacable. The funny thing is, for all of the average at best he gets about his defense, you never watch a goal against and say "man wtf was Kennedy doing?". Now that's mostly because he isn't asked to do the heavy lifting defensively but he never seems to be making costly mistakes in that end of the ice. He is a 3rd liner who is only making $2M. Can't really be too upset with what you get for that price.

Small bowel bacterial overgrowth is a condition in which abnormally large numbers of bacteria grow in the small intestine.
Alternative Names
Overgrowth - intestinal bacteria; Bacterial overgrowth - intestine
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Normally, the small intestine contains a low number of bacteria. This is different from the large intestine, which contains large numbers of bacteria.
The abnormally large numbers of bacteria in the small intestine use for their growth many of the nutrients that a person would normally absorb. As a result, a person with small bowel bacterial overgrowth may not absorb enough nutrients and will be
In addition, the breakdown of nutrients by the bacteria in the small intestines can damage the cells lining the intestinal wall.
Too much growth of bacteria in the small intestine can occur with many different conditions, including:
- Complications of diseases or surgery that create pouches or blockages in the small bowel, such as
Crohns disease
- Diseases that lead to movement problems in the small bowel, such as
diabetesand scleroderma
- Immunodeficiency such as
AIDSor immunoglobulin deficiency Short bowel syndromecaused by surgically removing a large part of the small intestine
- Small bowel diverticulosis, in which small sacs occur in the inner lining of the intestine, allowing too much growth of bacteria. Although these sacs can occur anywhere along the intestinal tract, they are much more common in the large bowel than in the small bowel.
- Surgical procedures, such as a Billroth II type of stomach removal (
gastrectomy) that creates a loop of small intestine where excessive intestinal bacteria can grow.
The most common symptoms are:
- Abdominal fullness
- Abdominal pain and cramps
- Bloating
- Diarrhea (usually watery)
Other symptoms may include:
- Fatty stool
- Weight loss
Signs and tests
- Blood chemistry tests (such as albumin level)
- Complete blood count (
CBC) Fecal fat test
- Small intestine
- Vitamin levels in the blood
The goal is to treat the cause of the excess small intestinal bacteria growth. For certain conditions, antibiotics or drugs that speed intestinal movement (motility-speeding drugs) may be considered.
Treatment also involves getting enough fluids and nutrition.
Someone who is dehydrated may need intravenous (IV) fluids in a hospital. If the person is already malnourished, a type of nutrition given through a vein (total parenteral nutrition -- TPN) may be necessary.
Severe cases lead to malnutrition. Other possible complications include:
- Excess bleeding due to vitamin deficiency
Liver disease Osteomalaciaor osteoporosis

Grytviken is the whaling station made famous by Shackleton's reunion with civilization on South Georgia after losing his ship, the Endurance, to Antarctic pack ice in 1915. Toast "Bring 'em Back Shack" at his gravesite in a small cemetery overlooking the bay.
The abandoned whaling station is undergoing a project to remove all asbestos, and may be partially off-limits. Once this project is complete visitors will again be able to explore the wreckage of a station that was active in the whaling industry until the 1960's. In the mean time the museum, operated by Tim & Paulene Carr (South Georgia's only full-time residents), is an excellent place to learn about the natural and whaling history of the island. Other popular visitor destinations include the restored Norwegian church, and the cemetary, which contains the grave of the famous explorer Ernest Shackleton. Antarctic travelers may be inclined to leave their wellingtons aboard ship, but be warned: Grytviken's only street is also off limits so it is impossible to get to the church without walking through the museum's glacier melt soaked back yard.
The British Antarctic Survey [1] maintains a presence on the island in a recently renovated research station on nearby King Edward Point.
