What You Need Before You Travel
The Pre-Trip Veterinary Examination
Before any trip, have your veterinarian examine your pet to ensure that he or she is in good health. A veterinary examination is a requisite for obtaining the legal documents required for many forms of travel.
In addition to the examination, your veterinarian may vaccinate against rabies, distemper, infectious hepatitis, leptospirosis, Bordetella, and Lyme disease, and test for heartworm and prescribe appropriate medication.
After examining your pet, your veterinarian may prescribe a sedative or tranquilizer and recommend a trial run so you can observe the effects of the prescribed dosage. Do not give your pet any drug not prescribed or given to you by your veterinarian.
Legal Requirements
When traveling with your pet, it is always advisable to keep a health certificate (a document from your veterinarian certifying that your pet is in good health) and medical records close at hand. If you and your pet will be traveling across state lines, you must obtain from your veterinarian a recent health certificate and a certificate of rabies vaccination.
Although pets may travel freely throughout the United States as long as they have proper documentation, Hawaii requires a 30 or 120-day quarantine for all dogs and cats. Hawaii's quarantine regulations vary by species, so check prior to travel.
If you and your pet are traveling from the United States to Canada, you must carry a certificate issued by a veterinarian that clearly identifies the animal and certifies that the dog or cat has been vaccinated against rabies during the preceding thirty-six-month period. Different Canadian provinces may have different requirements. Be sure to contact the government of the province you plan to visit.
If you and your pet are traveling to Mexico, you must carry a health certificate prepared by your veterinarian within two weeks of the day you cross the border. The certificate must include a description of your pet, the lot number of the rabies vaccine used, indication of distemper vaccination, and a veterinarian's statement that the animal is free from infectious or contagious disease. This certificate must be stamped by an office of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The fee for the stamp is $16.50.
If you are transporting birds out of the United States, record the legband or tattoo number of each bird on the USDA certificate and get required permits from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Have you ever noticed that all of a sudden it seems that almost every restaurant you walk into is serving the same dish? Burrata salad, braised pork belly, pig's ears in some form, short ribs—and some version of Nancy Silverton's butterscotch budino. It's as if all the chefs with a certain sensibility are working from the same playbook.
Trends in food come and go as assiduously as hemlines rise and plummet in the fashion world. Or erotic zones switch from ankle to nape to tattoo-baring back.
It's hard to pin down why any one dish seems to take off. In the past, if Thomas Keller did something at the French Laundry or Ferran Adria came up with a dish that didn't demand an elaborately outfitted laboratory to accomplish, then before you knew it, everybody would try some version of it.
That's what happened with Keller's famous butter-poached lobster, a technique that kept the crustacean from drying out and bathed each bite in that most seductive of fats. For awhile, that lobster dish was everywhere. And then it wasn't (though I did have a sighting recently at the funky French bistro Papilles in Hollywood).
Chefs have gotten cagier about outright copying. What I'm seeing now is certain combinations of ingredients or flavors that ring out like a major chord. There's the fried chicken sandwich with vinegary slaw and hot sauce that I first encountered several years ago at at Betty's Bakeshop in north Oakland that now shows up all over the place, including a very nice version dosed with sriracha.
Or the burrata salad that has replaced the ubiquitous caprese. In winter, pairing the deep-toned earthiness of beets against the milky cheese makes beautiful sense. In summer, it could be that same cheese, this time with arugula and juicy grilled nectarines with their thrilling acidity and fragrance.
Sometimes it's not a specific dish, but a previously unheard-of technique that catches chefs' imaginations. Foams that were all the rage 10 years ago have given way to granular "soils" made by some technological wizardry.
Other times it's a once-untried ingredient that comes out of nowhere to become ubiquitous. Several years ago, the it-dish was pork belly, but more recently pigs' ears are showing up with regularity on forward-thinking menus. Josef Centeno has them at the Lazy Ox Canteen, cut thick like steak fries and served with punchy aioli for dipping. Michael Voltaggio at Ink juliennes the fleshy flaps and showers the crisp curly ribbons on halved Brussels sprouts. under a thin transparent blanket of lardo. And at Pigg inside the new Umamicatessen downtown, Chris Cosentino plans to serve fries and crispy pig ears with "brainaise," i.e. aioli flavored with pig brains.
Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.
Pig ears and pig trotters come out of the nose to tail eating philosophy that's driving the Tasting Kitchen, Salt's Cure and Animal, to name just a few restaurants that are serious about butchering. For diners, it isn't just about putting more notches on your adventurous eating belt, or seeing how much you can gross out your vegan boyfriend. It's about knowing where the animal comes from, that it was raised humanely, and if it's slaughtered for food, giving it all due respect by utilizing every part of the beast.
It's a nice coincidence that those oddball cuts that once went to feeding the butcher's family turn out to be unexpectedly delicious. I love that we're now seeing oxtail, pigs feet, lamb neck, brains, gizzards and even a half-cut pig's head roasted to order (this last at the Gorbals). We're not so squeamish anymore it seems and that's a good thing.
The language of menus has changed to accommodate that interest. We now sometimes know more about the history of the pork or lamb on our plate than the person across from us. Menus cite farmers and butchers the way a novelist cites sources. I wish they'd do the same with certain recipes.
But in 10 or 20 years, will people look back on menus of today and snicker at the dishes we hold dear? Will burgers with blue cheese and caramelized onions, beef cheeks braised in Port or deconstructed cassoulet look as silly in the future as baked brie or cold tortellini salad with pesto do today?
What's certain is that the way we eat and take delight in the table is changing, and changing fast. Will flash-fried insects become the next big thing? Or hitherto unknown parts of the beast? Will we be craving arcane root vegetables and exotic citrus? Whatever the future holds, I'm pretty certain we will be eating in ways we never guessed way back in 2012.

Guest post from Gerald Haigh. Gerald is a freelance writer who regularly writes for the Microsoft UK education blogs.
This term I've been looking at the arrival of Windows 8 in education. The story for most institutions, as you'd expect, is that it's early days. As 2012 comes to an end, a school, typically, will have Windows 8 installed on a few desktops in the network team's area. Here the network manager and the technicians are carrying out a detailed evaluation, methodically working through to ensure all the school's regular software is compatible and making plans for full rollout. At the same time, other members of staff will have been coming in to sample the new experience and give their feedback. The usual plan in these cases is to move steadily to full rollout of Windows 8 during the first half of 2013. As one network manager explained to me:
'We've not set a timescale, we've probably 50 or 60 applications and we're testing every one to make sure it works.'
He adds, going some way to explain why that methodical approach to Windows 8 adoption is possible:
'Windows 7 is so reliable.'
We'll be following some of these schools with a series of blogs that pay attention to the experience of students, staff, administrators and senior leaders – with, of course, particular emphasis on the impact on teaching and learning.
Already, though, in some schools and universities there's enough progress to provide significant pointers to the possibilities opened up by Windows 8.
App Development
There is, for example, the prospect of using Microsoft development tools for building Windows 8 apps and deploying them in Windows Store. Here, higher education is leading the way, with schools planning to follow. Derby University's Computer Science Department has deployed Windows 8 in its computer labs and is including Windows app development in its courses. Then there's our recent case study blog on the work in progress at University College London, which shows a particularly striking example of what's possible.
This creative work in higher education sends a strong signal to schools about what's possible in computer science, particularly given the ready availability of sophisticated development tools within 'Dreamspark'. The schools themselves are undoubtedly aware of this.
'Once the app development starts, we'll see some interesting things,' says a school network manager.
Touch Screen
Dr Dean Mohamedally, one of the leading figures in the developments at UCL, draws attention in the case study to the importance to his graduate and postgraduate courses, of touch screen and multi-monitor capability (both strong features in Windows 8) in enhancing interaction and visualisation. That, surely, is food for thought for those who up to now have seen touch technology as primarily useful in class with younger children and students who lack fine motor skills.
That's certainly very much the case, but it's also true that collaborative work with students gathered round tablets or working together on a large touch screen, is a scenario that will work with every age group. On a conventional desktop in that situation, the mouse, 'owned' by one person, becomes a barrier to direct collaborative and creative interaction with the screen.
We've encountered two schools already that are exploiting touch screen technology with secondary school children. At Shireland Collegiate Academy in Sandwell, fourteen Windows 8 Acer touch screen tablets have been in classroom action for some months now, proving their worth as tools for collaborative learning. And at Royal Wootton Bassett Academy, thirty touch screen desktop PCs are, at the time of writing, are going live with Windows 8. We'll be reporting here on developments in these schools, in some detail, quite soon.
Windows 8 tablets and hybrids
Up to now not many schools have had the opportunity to try out 'Surface' or third party Windows 8 touch screen tablets in the classroom. There are plans to do so, however, and we'll be keeping up with developments. Where individuals have been able to evaluate them, however, the response is very favourable. Network managers appreciate the availability of Microsoft Office, and the sheer manageability of a Windows 8 tablet that will save student-created work to the school network.
One of our recent blog posts 'Surface Reviews from IT Education Staff' gives a flavour of what we'll later be reporting on as experience spreads across schools.
Students are the key
Time and again, network managers report that students expect to see the latest technology in schools and will take easily to Windows 8.
'Students will love Windows 8,' says one network manager.
'Some may have an Xbox. They know the interface, they will soon have Windows 8 on their computers at home.'
And, without doubt, they'll be quick to exploit all the Windows 8 features to the full.

Dr William Bird, Practicing GP and Founder/Director of Intelligent Health put things into perspective, "Chronic stress is now being associated with cancers, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, dementia and depression – all the diseases western societies are struggling with. A better environment, a society that connects people and gives them a sense of place and purpose are natural remedies for this. Parks and green spaces obviously provide this remedy, but until we actually invest in our green spaces the way we do traditional health care, we're never going to see these spaces reach their full potential to keep this nation healthy. Replacing green infrastructure with grey is detrimental to everyone."
If a park is underfunded, the local community, environment and economy cannot reap the benefits from it. Visitors will not feel safe, relaxed or inspired; it may attract crime, become unsightly and intimidating. This is when a park becomes unhealthy and at risk. Think about your closest park – is it easily accessible, attractive, and welcoming? Is it well maintained, safe and secure? Is it vibrant and full of life? Do you think it's a hub for your community? These are the questions the Park Health Check by the awareness-raising campaign Love Parks Week wants to answer. By rating these essential park qualities, anyone can reveal the overall health of their park and understand if it is at risk.
"We know what a 'quality' park looks like, but what we're aiming to achieve with our Park Health Check is to evaluate quality by perception rather than definition. How people actually feel about their local space? It also aims to educate people; highlighting what parks provide to their community/life or indeed what they could do to improve it and keep it healthy," says David Tibbatts from organising parks charity GreenSpace.
He adds, "We don't want people having to take a bus to a park because they don't feel safe in the one they have on their doorstep; we don't want children growing up with no memories of playing in their local park, meeting friends etc. We don't want people feeling isolated, disconnected from their community – everyone needs easy access to quality, healthy, thriving green space near to their place of living. Let's not by-pass parks."

Still, I agree that Real and Barca won't likely meet. UEFA certainly wouldn't like one Spanish and one German semi-final. That would be bad for TV-ratings.

Looks like we drew quite the tough opponent
Bayern might have not been brilliant in the last match but they're still a fully experienced CL team. Scoring a goal or two in the first leg in Munich is going to be crucial for us. IMO our midfield is on par if not slightly better than Bayern's, and our defence should be sound... but I suspect Conte will play again with the two support strikers, a tactic that despite having worked well so far in terms of making our play flow correctly and efficiently, it might not work against the Germans unless Giovinco grows some balls and steps his game up once and for all.

After all, why are Juventus and Bayern set to kill each other in the quarterfinals while both Real and Barcelona got easier draws in the lot? Food for thought...

When I see the result of the CL and EL draw (no German, Spanish and English team facing each other) I think it's fishy. When I see the convoluted theories on how it's rigged I think it's a load of bull. Then again Anglo-Saxons do love their conspiracies theories.

Worst situation possible for UEFA is a final between PSG and Galatasaray. Two teams from smaller leagues. Not surprising that the minor teams all got difficult draws. The only time the whole system failed was 2004 when Porto and Monaco beat the odds. The only time since 1996 (and Bosman) that any team from a non big 4 league made the final. That those two made it must have annoyed a lot of marketing people.
Personally I wouldn't mind to see a final between Dortmund and Galatasaray. Both sides have brilliant supporters which could really bring some life to the event.

Well, can't say I am surprised if all those accusations are true...imo, the refereeing in the last few years have been so fishy anyway...I won't say the referee was forced to make the intentional wrong call, but I have a feeling that the favoritism does indeed exist in UEFA

Accusations aside, I believe the fact that Barcelona and Real Madrid have been, in the last few seasons, drawn together close to the final stages would actually indicate something fishy. Being the pro-Spanish (pro-Barca, rather) idiot Platini is, and with his Anglophobic sentiments I am not surprised Spanish teams get favouritism from referees every single year.

Referees are employed by the national associations so I would be surprised if UEFA could simply instruct them to help or discourage individual teams without opposition.
Still, referees are football fans too, so I can understand if there is some favoritism towards Barcelona for their playing style. Real may benefit from their stature as biggest club in the world, but how much is that worth against other top teams?
There are also investigations in to the influence of crime and gambling syndicates on matches. Organized crime uses football betting as a way to launder money. Would be terrible for the game if the mob 'encourages' certain decisions based on betting behavior.

Anybody see any qualifiing action?
Gotta say, even though our players need work on offense, I'm proud of the US getting the draw at Mexico when it mattered. We did get lucky with some calls though, lol!
So what's up with the three lions?

I seriously believe that Manchester United should do what Bayern Munich did in the early 2000s when they stopped recruiting local prospects while aiming at several foreigners to make the backbone of their 2001 Champions League-winning squad (Sagnol, Lixarazu, Kuffour, Hargreaves, Andersson, Giovane, Salihamidzic, etc.). Whether people approve this way of doing or not, Bayern's signing of several foreigners forced the DFB to radically change the way to teach younger players in Germany. As a result, German football as a whole improved a hell lot to be what they are today.
So far, City, Arsenal and Chelsea stopped recruiting English players, but not much has changed in the FA system. However, if Manchester United (the big cheese of English football) comes out in the future and openly stops recruiting English players, it should be the alarm signal the FA needs to change their ways. I know what I propose here (stop recruiting English among top PL teams) will rub a few feathers among British members here and I'm sorry if it offends some, but I strongly believe that the only way to change things with England is for clubs to take such radical measures. It's about doing one bad thing with the purpose of bringing greater good further down the road.

Multiple People Without Homes After Lafayette Fire
The Lafayette Fire Department was called out to an apartment fire at Diamond Lake Apartments just after 1 o'clock this morning.
Spokesman Alton Trahan says no one was injured, but four apartments sustained fire or smoke damage.
The Acadiana Chapter of the American Red Cross says the blaze affected five families, and they are currently assisting 15 people, including 6 children.
Trahan says the fire started in apartment number 25 occupied by Ria Kidder and Kevin Richards along with their two children, ages 4 and 5 years old.
Everyone was asleep when the two adults awoke to find their bed on fire.
They got their children out of the home, and they tried several times to put the fire out with a fire extinguisher but were unable to put the blaze out.
Firefighters arrived to find the flames had spread to the second floor apartments. Firefighters quickly doused the flames.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Tony Credeur, Community Chapters Executive Director of the Acadiana Red Cross says,
"We're deeply saddened for those affected," said Tony Credeur, community chapters executive. "As we continue to help the residents, we want others to take steps now to lower the risk of a home fire."
Credeur adds that the Red Cross volunteers helped coordinate assistance in the form of food, shelter, clothing and emotional support due to fire damage to the homes, as well as referrals to other community partners.
The Red Cross recommends two easy steps to help protect your home and loved ones from a fire: get a smoke alarm and create a fire escape plan.
Here are their recommendations about smoke alarms:
- Working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in a home fire in half according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).
- Place smoke alarms on every level of your home, including bedrooms.
- Test smoke alarms once a month and replace batteries at least once a year.
- Have a plan in place can help you escape, including at least two ways to escape from every room of your home and a meeting spot at a safe distance from your home.
- Discuss the plan with everyone in the household and practice it at least twice a year.
Red Cross volunteers who assist at such fires are members of the Acadiana Chapter's Disaster Action Team, a group of specially trained volunteers who respond to the scene of a local disaster when called upon at any time of the day or night.

Cherry Millefeuille
Just a very short post to report that I finally found a way to use up the bad griottes. Following some blogger's suggestions, I removed the griottes from the alcohol syrup and soaked them in syrup instead, hoping the strong alcohol taste would leech out. That didn't work.
Along came Cherry, who virtually put me on house arrest because I had to watch her constantly, sneaking to a different room only when she's taking a nap. During one such long day at home I found a recipe for cherry millefeuille using both fresh American cherry and alcohol soaked griotte. The griotte is chopped and cooked and reduced to a semi-confit. This is then made into a griotte cream for the bottom layer. The top layer is standard pastry cream with cut fresh cherry halves embedded inside. I thought it was fitting to make a dessert with cherries, to honor Cherry's arrival into our family, plus I had a whole day to kill.
The feuilletage inverse came out pretty well, after I turned the AC way down and used a tray of ice water to cool the marble counter. I was worried about shrinkage during baking since I needed the entire surface of my 30x40cm baking sheet to get three slices large enough to fill my long rectangular mold. Luckily the shrinkage was minimal and I managed to cut out three pieces with only a few slivers of cut-offs left. Cooking the griottes turned out to be the magic trick as it mellowed the harsh alcohol taste, allowing all the layers to pull together harmoniously. Unfortunately, since it took me the whole day to make it, we didn't get to eat it until the next day. By that time, the feuilletage layers have soaked up some moisture and were a little soggy. If cherries are still decent when we come back from France I'm going to make this again, and this time we'll eat it right away.

ok, you've got to tell me something. Do you stick the perfectly halved cerries *after* you cut the cake or do you actually manage to half them with surgical precision?!!! The cake looks wonderful btw : )
- SteamyKitchen said...
such a pretty dessert!
- Lynn said...
Ales, *actually* since I knew exactly where I was going to cut it, I lined up the cherries along the cutting line when I put them in. Too obssessive? ;oP
Jaden, thank you!
- sue said...
hi lynn , all your bakes are such a delight to look at.
Lynn can u kindly guide me to which types of chocolate is best for making decoration using the plastic sheets?
I have tried using the normal lower range of baking choolate, melted it and spread on the sheet leave it overnight in the fridge but once it reaches room temp. it goes real soft and i had a hard time peeling it off. I wonder why it did not harden to give it a good crunch. thank you
- Lynn said...
Sue, baking chocolates are suitable for the kind of decoration you are trying for. You need to use couveture chocolate, which contains cocoa butter, cocoa mass, sugar and milk powder in the case of milk chocolate, but nothing else. Also, you cannot just melt chocolate and expect it to harden properly. it needs to be tempered. Hope this helps.
- sue said...
thanks lynn for the guidance. So i need to use chocolate couveture which is a better grade of chocolate rite , melt it and then tempered before spreading to the sheets. I think i use the lower grade cooking chocolate which cost maybe sing dollor 1.50 , that why my chocolate is soft and without the crunch.

That's gorgeous! I love anything with cherries.

Coorparoo & districts draft neighbourhood plan community information sessio...
Sales Have Ended
Sales Have Ended
Since October 2015, Brisbane City Council has worked together with the community to develop a draft neighbourhood plan to help shape the future of the Coorparoo & districts area, covering parts of Camp Hill, Coorparoo, Greenslopes, Holland Park and Holland Park West.
The draft plan is designed to help the area grow in a way that complements its character and encourages more local jobs, services and activities. Now is your opportunity to have a say on the draft plan. You can make a submission on the draft plan between now and Friday 8 June 2018.
Council is holding information sessions to help residents, business owners, community groups and industry professionals understand the Coorparoo & districts draft neighbourhood plan and how to make a submission.
The sessions involve a 10-15 minute appointment where you can speak face-to-face with the project team to learn more about how the draft plan may apply to your property, what the draft plan means for you or how to make a formal submission.
Sessions are general information only about the draft neighbourhood plan. No formal presentations will be given during these sessions. If you are looking for specific development advice you should arrange a prelodgement meeting (this is a charged service) or contact Council about submitting a development application.

Jacques and Jill Levy hosted a great pool party today, with great wines and food. There was lobster, scallops, shrimp and fish by pool, with assorted mayos including truffle and saffron. Loads of great wines, the whites included:
1995 Verget "Valmur" Chablis
Some thought this oxidized, I didn't, but thought it thin and empty. C+
1998 Ramonet Chevalier-Montrachet
Weird nose, what is this? Lemon Pledge! But actually on palate pretty good, with citrus, mineral, and a little oak. B/B+
1998 Ramonet Bienvenues Batard-Montrachet
Oxidized to all hell, cooked apple juice, no thanks D
2002 Fevre "Bourgos" Chablis
So Fevre cut back on oak? Hard to tell here. Good minerality and some white pit fruit, but a forest on top (but not La Foret). B/B+
1991 Bonneau du Martray Corton-Charlemagne
I thought this pretty good, others found it corked. I think of myself as moderately TCA sensitive, still liked it. But earlier more than later. B/B_
1999 Verget "Les Enseignieres" Puligny Montrachet
A bit woody, moderate fruit, ok
2000 Paul Pernot Bienvenues-Batard-Montrachet
Killer juice, rich, sprightly, just a hint of oak, lively yet rich. A/A-
2000 Prudhom "Les Enseignieres" Puligny Montrachet
Rich but balanced, a little less depth but nice. B+/B
1999 JN Gagnard Batard-Montrachet
Many people's favorite, more ripe/tropical than the Pernot, I like, but not as crisp as the Pernot. A-
1997 Leflaive Batard Montrachet
Fat and lush, with mineral and stone fruit aromas. B+
2003 Weinbach "Clos des Capucins" Muscat
Floral, floral,and floral, typically Muscat, where's the white asparagus? Others like more than me, it's just situational, not something I want by itself. B-
1992 Leo Schwab Graacher Domprobst Riesling Auslese (MSR)
Lots of petrol and lanolin, cooked pit fruit, others like more than mysefl. B
We headed up top, I sampled a few of the reds before I had to leave:
1990 Bourgneuf (Pomerol)
I didn't think as good as my last bottle, more pruney and advanced. Round ripe fruit with that Pomerol lushness. David B. said it was good but not "fresh"; I think that's right on money. B
1982 Vallana Spanna
This isn't as fresh as the 1955 or 1958, ok, but not exciting. B-
2001 Trotanoy (Pomerol)
Earthy/stinky nose, backward, structured, curious as to what others thought as it developed -hope someone lets me know. B+?
1996 Bouchard "L'Enfant Jessus" Beaune 1er
Good acidity, a little stinky, lots of mushroom odors overall. Needs time to open, a B- for start
2002 Laurent Roumier Bonne Mares
Pleasant midweight Burg, unsure it has GC weight, but nice. B/B+
1995 Figeac
Herbal, herbal, and herbal, but in a nice way. B=/B
1998 La Gomerie
Surprising subdued, but maybe because it was just opened. Red plum andberry fruit. B
1990 Terrabianca Campaccio Riserva ("wax seal")
Rob quickly opened this because I had to leave early. I thought the 1997 of this was too oaky last year, but in this one the oak had integrated nicely. Cedary with a menthol edge, ripe '90 fruit but with a little acidic edge to keep lively. A-/A
Really nice party. I wish I could have stuck around for Jacques' steaks (and some more wines like the '90 La Conseillante!!) , but last evening was only opportunity to see my wife all day (and I have a full day today)
Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.

Hutchinson Takes Control in St. Pete's
16 February 2008
St. Petersburg, Fla. - Former America's Cup Emirates Team New Zealand tactician Terry Hutchinson at the helm for Scott Holmgren from Edmond, Oklahoma on USA-631 Quantum Racing/Rosebud assumed the lead of the Melges 24 class on day two in St. Petersburg, Florida at the 2008 Sperry Top-Sider NOOD Regatta. Terry's crew consists of owner Holmgren as well as Scott Nixon, Brian Janney and Phoebe Patterson. In a three way tie for second place is Brian Porter on USA-649 Full Throttle from Winnetka, Illinois; Doug Clark helming for Geoffery Pierini on USA-551 Gazoo from Bernardsville, New Jersey and John Podmajersky on USA-511 from Chicago, Illinois. Each with 18 points a piece.
The first race of the day started on time with a nice 5-7 knots of breeze, gorgeous sunny skies and warm temperatures. The race was kept short and sweet as the wind would potentially be in short supply - three legs, course length of 1.5 nautical miles at 095 degrees. The first start was clean with a select number of individual recalls. Clark got a tremendous jump on the fleet with a carbon copy mark rounding performance of day one. He was followed by overnight leader Paul Hulsey from Detroit, Michigan on USA-615 Hoodlum, then Porter in third and Hutchinson in fourth putting some pressure on the race leaders. Hutchinson took it to the finish leg, where he gained ground on Clark and took the win. Porter pulled up to take second and in third was Marc Hollerbach on 'USA-700 Fu" from Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan.
After almost two and half hours of postponement a second race was attempted. The first start, resulted in a general recall. The race committee kindly reminded the teams of the current as well as a Z Flag penalty in effect for the second start. It was high-drama down the line. Porter bolted out to the front of the fleet while Podmajersky tucked in ahead of Hutchinson right at the pin end, just making his way in on the start. Hutchinson had some speed and was quick to follow Porter. Jeff Duval from Sarasota, Florida on Doc Holiday on the other hand not only took command of the very light 5-6 knots of breeze, he also rounded the weathermark first ahead of Porter, Hutchinson, Podmajersky and Corinthian competitor Alex Shafer on USA-677 Sweaty Betty rounding respectively. The challenging light air produced some tough racing, but Duval got out front and stayed out front for the win, leaving Porter and Hutchinson to battle it out. Hutchinson bested Porter on the finish leg taking second place. Porter was third. Podmajersky was fourth and Shafer finished in fifth.
Looking ahead to tomorrows racing the conditions are forecasted to be ideal Mostly sunny skies with temperatures in the high 70's approaching the 80 degree mark, breeze out of the south, southeast between 11-15 mph and potential gusts up to 21 mph. Should mother nature deliver on her promise it will be a fantastic day of Melges 24 yacht racing
TOP TEN OVERALL RESULTS (Preliminary)
- Terry Hutchinson/Scott Holmgren, Quantum Racing/Rosebud
- Brian Porter, Full Throttle
- Geoffery Pierini, Gazoo
- John Podmajersky, USA-511
- Alex Shafer, Sweaty Betty
- Jeff DuVal, Doc Holiday
- Billy Gooderham/Richard Reid, Zingara
- Marc Hollerbach, Fu
- Henry Colie, Babs
- Kristen Lane, Outhouse
On Friday night the 49 Melges 24 teams partied hard at Cha Cha Coconuts. Melges Performance Sailboats provided the party giveaways - awesome, black, stealth vests, Melges hats and belts were given to the top four Corinthians seated within the top ten - Alex Shafer, Paul Hulsey, George Haynie and Billy Gooderman. The oldest Melges 24 competitor Ralph Jones on USA-90 Sick Puppy received some goodies as did, Rich Foster who's team weighed in right on the maximum M24 crew weight of 793.6 lb, the farthest traveled - from California, Peter Lane, Kristen Lane and Alan Field were recognized. A very special award was crafted for the Melges 24 Race Committee 'Imposter' - Mike Hoey.
While waiting for the wind on Friday, the teams were anxious to hear from the race committee in regards to additional races being held. Three attempts had been made to communicate in which no response had been received. A certain Melges 24 sailor, sensing some humor would be a nice remedy to relieve the tension not to mention the boredom, took it upon himself to impersonate the lovely, New Zealand-accented race committee member communicating with the fleet, broadcasted on VHF, "There will be no more racing for the Melges 24 fleet today." Teams all over the course began taking out their engines, pointing the boats for the dock and getting ready to enjoy some cold beer. The real race committee came across the VHF to communicate that the fleet had an imposter. Those that rushed to put motors on the boats quickly put them away in sheer disappointment. In the meantime, the Hoodlum Melges 24 crew of Paul Hulsey was having a good laugh at the whole spectacle. Later on we learned and revealed Mike Hoey was guilty in the first degree and took home a couple of prizes for his creativity.
Mike later confronted the real race committee and confessed. All was taken in great stride and feel it is safe to report Mike has officially earned a new friend in the racing community.
Undeniably the results are tight as Alex Shafer and his 'Sweatty Betty' crew really dialed things in for Saturday's races — 10, 6. Alex's team consists of Bill Wiggins, Laura Muma, Justin Hood and Lily Tomlinson. They are the top Corinthian team of the day, as well as the overall Corinthian results leader.

ASTON, PA – The York College men's soccer team notched their fourth straight win and second straight shutout as the Spartans downed the Neumann University Knights 3-0 in a non-conference contest on Saturday in Aston, Pa.
The Spartans improve to 7-1-1 overall while the Knights fall to 3-3-2.
The offense attacks were lacking early on as the first shot of the game didn't come until there were already five minutes elapsed on the clock. The Spartans' first shot didn't come until over ten minutes into the game.
The Spartans finally got clicking midway through the half as senior Antonio Bua (Lancaster, Pa./Lampeter-Strasburg) hit the post in the 20th minute. The Spartans continued to pressure the Knight defense until freshman Eli Bjerk (Stillwater, Minn./Stillwater Area) converted a chance in the 33rd minute to put the Spartans up 1-0. The goal was the first collegiate tally for Bjerk.
The Green and White wasted little time in adding to the lead as junior Taylor Brummitt (Annapolis, Md./Annapolis) drilled home his fourth goal of the season off a pass from fellow junior Aaron Beale (Baltimore, Md./Annapolis). The goal came in the 42nd minute and gave York the 2-0 cushion heading to the break.
York got an insurance goal in the 73rd minute as junior Chris Weaver (Baltimore, Md./Archbishop Curley) took a Brummitt pass and converted the goal, giving York their final three-goal margin of victory.
The Spartans ended the game with a 15-11 edge in total shots while both teams had six shots on goal. The Knights held a slight 4-3 margin in corner kicks while both teams had 19 fouls.
Senior Jesse Derksen (York, Pa./Susquehannock) earned the win as he played 68:02 of scoreless soccer. He recorded three saves for York. Freshman Leonardo Romero (Philadelphia, Pa./LaSalle College) played the final 21:58 and he also made three saves to preserve the clean sheet.
Alex Lacko played all 90 minutes in goal for the Knights as he recorded three saves.
The Spartans return to action on Wednesday when they travel to Messiah College to face the Falcons in their annual non-conference duel. The game is scheduled for a 7:00 pm contest in Grantham, Pa.

The submission period for Conference on Ecopoetics proposals is now closed. Due to time, space, and budgeting constraints—and the sheer number of submissions we received (more than 25 pre-formed panel proposals on top of more than 160 individual presentation proposals)—we were unable to accommodate many of the terrific proposals we received. Our sincere thanks to all who submitted.
Call for Papers: Conference on Ecopoetics
February 22-24, 2013
University of California, Berkeley (Berkeley, CA)
Contact and submissions e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Deadline for panel and individual paper proposals: October 1, 2012
What is ecopoetics? What representational strategies and sociopolitical commitments might characterize this practice? How might we periodize ecopoetics and situate its modes of cultural production? This conference aims to bring scholars, poets, and creative artists into sustained dialogue on the historical and contemporary practices of ecopoetics.
We invite panel proposals or individual paper proposals that examine the various relationships—historical, material, aesthetic, activist—between poetry, poetics, and ecology. Possible topics include: ecological genres: pastoral, georgic, elegy, documentary; formal innovations in ecopoetics: sound- and performance-based practices, concrete and minimalist ecopoetics, intermedia ecopoetics; biopoetics, biopolitics, and posthumanism; pataphysics, biosemiotics, and information theory; discourses of pollution, garbage, toxicity, unsustainability, apocalypse; evolution and extinction; queer ecology; cross-cultural, indigenous, mestizo, subaltern ecopoetics; climate change and geosystems; creaturely life, life forms, nonhumans; life and non-life; site-specific poetics, bioregionalisms, transregionalisms, poetry and "sustainability"; Romantic and post-Romantic ecopoetics; Modernist and postmodern ecopoetics; the affective and ethical turns in ecopoetics; surrealist, digital, and conceptual ecopoetics; ethnopoetics; environmental justice and environmental racism; precarity and the multitude; disaster capitalism, petrocapitalism, "green" capitalism, political ecology; violence and abjection; urban and exurban ecologies; ecopoetics and object-oriented ontology; avant-gardening; poetry, activism, revolution.
Panel proposals should include a title, a rationale (250 words), and a list of presenters. For each presenter, list his/her paper title, institutional affiliation (if any), and a brief academic bio. You may construct a traditional panel with 3-4 presenters reading 20-minute papers, or a seminar with 6-8 presenters, each reading brief position papers of 5-8 minutes. Panels composed entirely of graduate students or of faculty from a single institution are unlikely to be accepted. You may propose a partially complete panel, and in this case, if accepted, additional presenters would be assigned to your panel.
Individual paper proposals should include a title, a 250-word abstract, 3-5 keywords, institutional affiliation (if any), and a brief academic bio. You may propose a traditional 20-minute paper or a brief position paper (5-8 minutes) for a seminar. If your paper is accepted, you will be assigned to a panel or seminar.
The conference will also feature poetry readings, art/film exhibits, and excursions to Bay Area forests and wilderness areas. Please direct submissions to email@example.com by October 1, 2012. Questions may also be directed to this e-mail address.

Ara Dymond and Jesse Willenbring have a great show of their paintings and sculptures up at the Laurel Gitlen gallery in NYC. Check it out if you're in the area!
"In this overcrowded, if appealing, two-person show, the eye ricochets between Dymond's jocular sculptures made of synthetic materials and Willenbring's screen-printed doodles on wood. Several of Dymond's lime-green and pink plinths display images of absurdly cute dogs printed on aluminum cutouts; others sport digitally carved designs reportedly inspired by Lucio Fontana. One catchy drawing, sketched by Willenbring straight onto the wall, repeats a motif of overlapping light bulbs—an A.D.H.D. bright idea. Through Oct. 14." – The New Yorker

I just want to tell my story of living the dream. I I went out to vegas with a 35k bankroll and had 4 months of rent (2,000/month) paid for in advance. I made about 40k in one month betting baseball. By the fourth month, I was bust. I did live an extravagant lifestyle and have a lot of overhead (10k/month), but had poor money management. I travelled every two weeks and ate/lived well above my means. My biggest downfall was casinos and alcohol. I have given up alcohol and have the discipline to never playing a casino game again. In addition, I have read over 20 books related to risk and gambling. Last year in baseball, I was 72% ats. My numbers this year in baseball are even better. The biggest problems were my arrogance and poor money management. I would play 10-20k on a single game and win. Some of my wins were attributed to pure randomness and I didn't even realize it. I feel I can do this, but my goal is to make millions sports investing. I am going to try again, but need 50k to get started. I will keep the forum updated on my progress,
RE: JCarthone.
I am able to turn profits week in and week out and have been sports gambling for 10 years. I did live in lv right on the strip for 4 months or so last year and over the last ten years used to travel frequently to Nevada with the short flight from CA. Over the last 6 months, I have been able to eliminate alcohol consumption, establish discipline and adhere to a strict plan. I agree there are a lot of distractions in lv. One experiences many more distractions living there then just visiting for 3-4 days. From my personal experience over the last ten years on sports gambling, one needs to put in 70-80 hours of time into sports analysis and research to become successful. This involves very advanced mathematics including predictive modeling. How can one work a steady job and allocate 70 hours a week in sportsbetting? The true sharps that make over 500k / year solely focus on this. They have other investments ie real estate and may make more form those other ventures in time. What you are referring to turning 100-1000 week in and week out is absurd. The goal of a serious sports investor is to win 25-30% ROI over the course of a season or year. The figures you are describing are 1000% every week. No one in the world is able to establish that return every week. If so, one would be able to turn 1000 into ten million over the course of one football season. You clearly are an amateur who has no idea of the high stakes sports betting I am referring to. My minimum wager was 2k and went up to 20k depending on the variables. It's not even worth it to me to walk through the parasitic casino to get to the sportsbook for any less than 2 dimes.
you said "it feels better to lose than win"
Again, this is more evidence of you being an amateur and what Vegas attracts with near misses, comps and the ludic fallacy that exists inside the walls of casinos. I am not trying to be right like a bettor or seeking entertainment as gamblers do. My one and only goal in sports investing is to make money. That is it. I don't care about home town favorites or being right. I look for value and situations with a distinct edge to create solid investing opportunities.

During World War II, Nazis and Hungarian collaborators looted major artworks from the vast collection of Jewish banker Baron Mór Lipót Herzog. His great-grandson David de Csepel is on a quest to get them back.
De Csepel first saw some of these paintings almost two decades ago in the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest, where Herzog had lived. Plaques identified works by El Greco and Zurbarán as "from the Herzog Collection."
"It was very strange seeing paintings that were stolen from my family hanging in the museum with my great-grandfather's name on these plaques — unsettling, to say the least," said De Csepel, a 46-year-old real estate developer who lives in Altadena.

He is now the lead plaintiff in what art experts say could be the last great Holocaust-era art restitution case, the subject of a hearing Wednesday in a federal appellate court in Washington, D.C.

The Jets reportedly will consider trading cornerback Darrelle Revis. Darrelle Revis considers that a surprise.
"I'm speechless," Revis said on Twitter, "but more importantly I feel more upset for the Jet nation for having to go through this!!!"
Don't feel sorry for Jet nation, Darrelle. They've become battle hardened over the last year.
As we've explained, Revis holds all the cards. If the Jets want to trade him and if they in turn hope to get full value, the new team would want to have a long-term deal in place. If Darrelle chooses not to do that, it will be hard for the Jets to get what they want in trade.
Instead, Revis can focus on getting his knee healthy, becoming a free agent after the season, and agreeing to terms with the highest bidder next year.This video is no longer available. Click here to watch more NBC Sports videos!

This issue of FutureStructure further explains the soft infrastructure component, which is arguably the most important part of FutureStructure, and shows how the city as a system concept can be put into practice. Additionally, this issue discusses how optimizing our transportation systems through different ways of thinking and creating a better built environment can make our communities better places to live and prepare them to thrive for the future.

Major scrapbook retail chain Archiver's filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Monday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Minnesota.
The Archiver's board authorized the bankruptcy filing on April 25th via a written directive. In court filings, the retailer indicates that it intends to continue operating. The initial petition estimates the company has between $10-$50 million in assets, and $1-$10 million in liabilities, and indicates that the company believes there will be at least some funds available for distribution to unsecured creditors.
As a retailer, it's not surprising that a large portion of the company's top 20 unsecured creditors are product wholesalers. The largest unsecured creditor is EK Success, who is owed over $250,000. Also appearing on the top 20 creditors list are American Crafts, 3L, We R Memory Keepers, My Mind's Eye, Bazzill, Love To Scrap, Doodlebug, BoBunny, Ranger, Silhouette, Pioneer, Pink Paislee, Ellison, and Queen & Company, who are owed between $55,000 and $200,000 each. The Archiver's bankruptcy is a double hit for 3L, who was already listed as one of the top creditors in the Creative Memories bankruptcy a few weeks ago.
A meeting of creditors is scheduled for May 30th at the US Courthouse in Minneapolis. Proof of claims from creditors are due to the court by August 28th, an important deadline since the petition estimates that there will be funds to disperse to the creditors who submit claims. Continue Reading →

Season totals (MHL): 1 GP, 0-0-0, E, 0 PIM
Boom goes the stay-at-home dynamite! Nikita Nesterov (pictured) was +3 in a season high 18:35 of ice time in Chelyabinsk's 6-3 win over Novgorod. Ex-Lightning draft pick Ruslan Zainullin had a goal for Torpedo in defeat. Chelyabinsk is off until Sunday when they face Spartak Moscow.

Season totals: 16 GP, 9-5-2, 2 SO, 2.37 GAA, .923 sv%
Oof! In a battle between old school and new school Lightning goaltending prospects, Vasily Koshechkin taught the new blood a serious lesson. The big veteran netminder logged an 18 save shutout in Cherepovets' 6-0 spanking of Bratislava. Ex-Lightning draft pick Denis Kazionov continued his quest to get back on Bolt Prospects' daily updates by scoring his 5th and 6th goals of the season, both on the power play, for Severstal. They face Omsk next on Saturday. Slovan will lick their wounds in preparation for CSKA next Tuesday.

Season totals: 18 GP, 14-4-0, 1 SO, 1.92 GAA, .930 sv%
Andrei Vasilevski continued the theme of a poor day for young Lightning goaltending prospects after he was pulled after 2 periods in Ufa Jr.'s 6-2 loss to Omsk Jr. I ask the question again: does the young man need a rest after having started every game of the season thus far for Ufa Jr? I'm looking at you, ex-Lightning forward and current Ufa Jr. coach, Alexander Semak. These two teams rematch on Thursday.

Wanted: A musician to join established band that tours worldwide and has released six previous studio albums to play banjo, mandolin, bouzouki, guitar and keyboards. No prior experience playing those instruments required.
Wanted: A musician to join established band that tours worldwide and has released six previous studio albums to play banjo, mandolin, bouzouki, guitar and keyboards. No prior experience playing those instruments required.
The Dropkick Murphys didn't actually place an ad like that when multi-instrumentalist Marc Orrell left the group in 2008. But the musician who got the gig, Jeff DaRosa, would have met those requirements.
A bassist by trade, DaRosa, aside from guitar, had never played any of those instruments when he was contacted by Dropkick Murphys guitarist James Lynch about filling the vacancy in the band lineup.
"He just said I don't know if you want to learn any crazy instruments or not, but if you do, the job's open," DaRosa said in a recent phone interview.
DaRosa accepted the offer and got to work seeing if he could expand his instrumental arsenal.
"That was the only concern," he said. "Can you learn these wacky instruments? I wouldn't say I'm amazing at any of them, but I can do it."
The Dropkick Murphys were willing to take a chance on DaRosa because he had a history with the Boston-based Irish-accented rockers.
He had been friends with Lynch since they were kids, and DaRosa's former band, the Exit, had toured with the Dropkick Murphys and was signed to the record label owned by Dropkick Murphys bassist and founding member Ken Casey.
DaRosa joined the band in time to contribute to the writing and recording of the seventh Dropkick Murphys studio album, 2011's "Going Out In Style." That album turned out to be something of a landmark release for the group.
It became the Dropkick Murphys' highest charting CD when it debuted at number six on "Billboard" magazine's album chart. It was also arguably the group's most ambitious album to date in that it was a full-on concept record.
"Going Out In Style" told the story of a fictional Irish immigrant Cornelius Larkin, as the songs looked back on the character's lineage and life in his new homeland of the United States.
In addition to the songs, the album's liner notes included a short story about Larkin's life, which was written by author Michael Patrick MacDonald.
"We didn't set out to write a concept album, actually," DaRosa said. "As we were looking at the list of songs, it kind of came out to us and we were talking about James Lynch's grandfather, who was Cornelius Lynch, and his story of coming to America. We kind of took from our families' histories and kind of made a fictional concept around it."
"Going Out In Style" was well received critically and helped continue the gradual growth in national popularity that has characterized the Dropkick Murphys' 16-year career.
In its home town of Boston, though, the band is hugely popular. The city has been celebrated in a number of the group's songs, most notably "I'm Shipping Up to Boston," which was featured in Martin Scorsese's 2006 Academy Award-winning film, "The Departed" and is currently used (in an acoustic version) as the theme song of the TNT drama "Rizzoli & Isles."
The group's local hero status became blatantly apparent in summer 2011, when the Dropkick Murphys played two shows at Boston's Fenway Park. An 18-song live album from those shows was included in the deluxe edition of "Going Out In Style" when it was released this past March.
"It was amazing," DaRosa said of the Fenway experience. "Just to say you walked on the grass of Fenway is one thing. But to be able to say you played there, the two nights were great."
Now the band, which also includes singer Al Barr, drummer Matt Kelly, guitarist/accordion player Tim Brennan and bagpiper/tin whistle player Josh "Scruffy" Wallace, is shifting its focus to the future as it tours to promote the release of its eighth studio album, "Signed and Sealed in Blood."
Like "Going Out In Style," the new CD was produced by Ted Hutt. But this time there isn't a theme to the songs. Instead, the emphasis was simply on giving fans a collection of fun, rocking tunes.
"What are you going to do after a concept album like that? Let's just go in the studio and have fun," he said.
The album, though, required some intense work. In order to have the CD ready for its early January release, it had to be written and recorded between June and August of last year.
"We had to just go in and schedule the studio and get it done and force ourselves to work every single day on it," DaRosa said. "It was like having a day job, wake up, go to work every day."
The project, though, was also fun, and DaRosa said that feeling translates to the music on "Signed and Sealed in Blood."
"The whole album is very uptempo compared to 'Going Out In Style,' he said. "They're fun songs to play live, songs you don't have to concentrate on so much, just have a good time playing."

Muqtada al-Sadr has just announced a six-month suspension of military activity by the Mahdi Army to provide for the "rehabilitation" of that force, which has more or less splintered. The suspension includes a cessation of attacks on American forces.
It's unclear how much practical effect this edict will have, but one would think that it can only lead to further reduction in sectarian violence.

Does Broadband Bring More Jobs?
from the questions-to-ponder dept
There have been plenty of anecdotal stories, and evidence in the form of big companies opening offices in places due to widespread broadband access, but now a new study is saying communities that have widespread broadband had "more rapid growth in employment," while also increasing the number of businesses in the area, especially in tech related fields. This probably isn't that surprising, though it's tough to see what the real relationship is. Is it the broadband that attracts jobs? Or is it the employees from these companies that make it attractive to offer broadband? Or, is it something different entirely that's causing both factors to increase? From a policy standpoint, it would seem like a more detailed study might be useful. In the meantime, though, we'll point you to an interesting article comparing the state of muni-broadband today with the state of electric utilities a century or so ago. There are definitely some very interesting parallels: "the expansion of electricity, Baller argued, showed that the presence -- or even threat -- of competition from the public sector is one of the surest ways to secure quality service and reasonable prices from private enterprises delivering critical public services."

This is just like the cat burial example Araragi discussed: while everyone would think "I should bury this cat", most people would still hesistate to actually do it. This is the same thing. Not many people are willing to pry that far into someone or something they barely know about.
But for the sake of argument, let's assume that they ask further anyway. Then Hanekawa proceeds to tell them about how her real parents died with one of them committing suicide, and how her current parents don't accept her as their child.
What are high school children supposed to tell Hanekawa in return? "Don't worry, it'll get better?" That's a baseless lie.
Tell her they'll report her parents for child abuse? Once again, few people would actually go that far for people they aren't that close to, and even if they did, it's not a strong case. She was hit once, in a society and culture where capital punishment to discipline children is acceptable, and there is no other evidence that her parents have had a history of physically beating her more than that one time. Then, supposing that her parents do get convicted for child abuse for whatever imaginary evidence you think would magically work, what will happen to Hanekawa? She will get sent to another household she barely has any attachment to, and with Hanekawa's personality already being established, she can't force herself to act any more friendly to her new house either. Nothing gets solved.
Hanekawa's issue with her parents is clearly something beyond the scope of what a high school outsider like her classmates can handle or talk about. Even Araragi, who is her friend, outright stated that her household is doomed.
There is simply no way classmates who are casual acquantences can continue holding a conversation with her when she drops a depressing bombshell like that.

Well, i think the reason people are trying to avoid Hanekawa is because her reaction to this abuse. I would think she is strange too for her answer like "It is natural they hit me"...

It wasn't simply because she wanted the issue dropped - it was because she really felt like defending her parents was what she was supposed to do, just like she felt that she should bury that cat even if she couldn't care less about it.

She's obviously bothered by it, or Black Hanekawa wouldn't have made him one of her first targets.
However, at the same time, she forces herself not to be bothered by it to the point where her self restraint is second nature. Then, it's so easy to keep herself from being bothered by it that it doesn't seem like she is forcing herself at all anymore. It's like lying so much to the point where you can't stop, and you start acting like you believe those lies yourself.

If anything, it seems a problem of some dv victims is that they fall prey to a superiority complex in being a victim. When the other person is a brute, you place him beneath you and feel morally dignified.
This is probably closer to what happened with Hanekawa.

Hitagi was honest.
Tsubasa was not.
Araragi went witht he honest girl instinctively.
Hitagi tried to get help abd be helped... and accepted help.
Tsubasa did not.
Tsubasa lost her romantic chance with Koromi simply because she wasn't honest with herself. Nor did she try to help herself.

Just rewatched NekoKuro, and I'd like some help with understanding the Araragi x Hanekawa relationship. Basically... Hanekawa scared away Araragi's romantic feelings for her; instead, they transformed from love to reverence, once he got to know her true personality. Is this correct? It's just all really complicated.
Also, I disagree with Oshino when he said it was "disgusting" (or another similar word...I forget) of her to tell her present dad, "You shouldn't hit girls." Personally, I just see it as her having a sassy moment. I mean, it's natural to want to defend yourself, right? Or am I missing something here? Oshino's judgement just kind of bothers me.
And why did Araragi freak out when he found absolutely no trace of Hanekawa in her household? I mean, yeah, it's weird, but if it were me, I would just feel upset for my friend, maybe? Pity, maybe? I didn't understand why he reacted as terrified as he did.
Also... It broke my heart when Hanekawa told herself that she should just die. But it was also sort of random, too. I'm guessing this feeling was suppressed under her Honor Student persona?

On 2 April 2013, history was made as the Arms Trade Treaty - the first agreement to control global arms sales - received an overwhelming 'yes' vote at the United Nations in New York.
This momentous Treaty is the culmination of more than ten years of campaigning to rein in the irresponsible trade in arms that causes so much human suffering.
It could not have happened without the work of Oxfam supporters, and immense efforts from Control Arms partners and governments around the world.
The resounding applause and loud cheers that rang out from the UN General Assembly Hall is only the beginning. Work is needed to ensure that the Treaty enters into force as soon as possible. And countries must be encouraged to sign up to this historic document and work to improve standards even further with time.
Over the past decade, tens of thousands of Oxfam supporters have met with their government officials, campaigned relentlessly in all weathers to build public support and refused to give in to doubters. It is unbelievable that, until now, the global arms trade has had no regulation. That bananas, ipods and dinosaur bones have been subjected to more restrictions than weapons and ammunition. And that world leaders had previously not made any attempt to address the horror of up to 1,500 people dying every single day due to armed violence.
We simply wouldn't be here if you had listened to those skeptics who scoffed that "getting such a Treaty is absurd. It's never going to happen." But you all persevered and today we celebrate the first global Arms Trade Treaty that will save lives.

Angelina Jolie: It's a Hard Knox Life
Angelina Jolie and her adorable son Knox Jolie-Pitt get some fresh air from the balcony of their apartment in Venice, Italy on Sunday (March 28).
Angie was seen pointing out a few sights in the distance to baby Knox.
Just yesterday, Angie spent time with Pax, Zahara and Shiloh in a private playground in Venice.
Great to see Angie getting in bonding time with all of her kids!

I do not deny being a jerk at times.bradtem wrote:I was away for the weekend, having a life, but the truth is there's little productive to be gained in this forum, or any forum where people devolve to just criticising personalities rather than discussing the ideas. The folks who actually have worked gate provided useful info. The amount of negativity from a few others is a shame; folks with thinner skins and less experience are surely being driven away by it elsewhere on eplaya, whether they have contributions to make or not. Fortunately most real burners in real life don't act that way.
I do know a bit about how gate works, and why some stuff happens. I have seen the gate and exodus lines from a perimeter perspective.
You give the participants more credit than they have earned.
I disagree with some of your ideas. I believe the way it is will refute some other of your ideas. There are a few, that I like.
Getting involved in the actual "yay - we are at Burning Man" operations of the gate will refine some of your ideas.
