Me, and fellow PWG board poster "SuplexMonthlyJay" wrote this report for SoCalUncensored.com.. but since it featured so many of PWG's stars (Disco Machine, Joey Ryan, Chris Bosh, PUMA/TJ Perkins, Scorpio Sky, Human Tornado and Scorpio Sky's abs) I thought people here would possibly enjoy it too, if they were drunk enough.
So here it is:
Planes, Trains and Automobiles Report Vol. 5: UPW March 25th
Hello, my name is Paul Newberry. And I'd like to welcome you to the long dreaded return of the "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" live report series. For this report, I will be Co-Reviewing the event with SCU newcomer, Jay Doring. Who will be covering the match details, while I try to cover the other details. Sorts like Jesse Ventura to his Gorilla Monsoon as it were. So let me start off by saying hello to Terry, Tyrell and Jade in Minneapolis (such a dated reference...)
But first, I have a question for you. Do you remember UPW? Well it's back! Not in pog form but rather in live show form! As they present "It's Fargin' WAR" March 25th 2006 at the OC Dojo in San Clemente.
Jay: Evenin' y'all, and um, Paul...this show is actually called UPW "Locked and Loaded," "Fargin' War" is the BiG Pro show over in Newhall.
Paul: Well, that's just fargin' great. Most my material was based on the show being entitled "It's fargin' war" Oh well, fargin' matters aside, this will be a new experience for me, as despite attending SoCal shows for several years now, this will be my first ever UPW live show. I've only seen UPW previously on their short lived TV show that was on for around 53 seconds in 2001, and was actually the first place I got to see the likes of Samoa Joe, Frankie Kazarian, Spanky, Paul London, Scott Lost, Hardkore Kidd, B-Boy and Shannon Ballard in action. Now after a lengthy absence, UPW returns in a slightly different format... featuring mainly young local talent from all around SoCal trying to make a name for themselves in the promotion that has long been SoCal's Keymaster to the WWE's gate keeper. I'm looking forward to seeing what they have in store for us here...
Jay: I was extremely excited to go to this UPW show, and visit the birthing place of my favorite wrestler,

What is RSS?
RSS is a platform-independent format based on the markup language XML and developed for exchanging news and other web contents. RSS is the abbreviation of "Really Simple Syndication".
With the help of a special software ("RSS-Reader"), but also with the more recent versions of today's established internet browsers, such as Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer, one can read RSS files and track changes on a website. There are applications free of charge and commercial ones for reading RSS files. A survey of what programs are available and further information can be found, e.g., at http://www.rss-scout.de/ or http://www.rss-verzeichnis.de/.
In contrast to HTML pages, RSS files, which are provided in so-called "feeds", do not contain design and layout elements. Thus, users can read and process these files independent of their platform. Contents of RSS files can be presented and read in any particular way on websites, in intranets (non-public computer networks), or desktop software (such as in screen savers or the like).
From the user's point of view, the major benefit of RSS is that time is saved. Without having to visit the sites, the user gets a quick survey of what has changed and whether they have been updated. Thus, the traffic on the sites is reduced, too, files can be downloaded faster.
How to subscribe to RSS?
As soon as you have installed an RSS reader or internet browser on your computer, you can subscribe to a feed. Unlike a subscription to a newsletter, you needn't provide your e-mail address.
The Federal Office for Radiation Protection offers several different feeds on this site (in German). Each feed has its own address (URL). Add this address to your RSS reader or internet browser.
Move your mouse to the symbol of the respective feed and press the right mouse button. In the choice box, select "Copy Link" when using the Internet Explorer as your browser, or "Copy Link Address" when you have installed Mozilla Firefox as your browser.
Then, add the address at the respective place in your RSS-Reader/internet browser. Press the right mouse button and then click "Paste" or use the shortcut Ctrl+V. Now you have subscribed to the feed and can use the offer.
You will find details on the usage of your RSS reader or internet browser in the manual or the help function of the respective program.

My favorite part of this book is the little horse. The picture of it is so cute. In fact, the illustrator draws this book in black lines and lets the reader color it. That is what is so neat about this "Keep It Book" from Ohio State University. You get to color and keep the little book all to yourself. I like all the pictures in this book.
This story reminds me of when one day I went to a farm and visited all the animals. I saw some of the same animals there as there was in the book. I love animals.
I would recommend this book to anyone that likes farm animals or anyone that lives on a farm to read this book. It is very easy to read and is a good story about farms and the animals that live there.

Black students' group, NAACP fund file amicus brief in UT case
AUSTIN — African American students at the University of Texas at Austin filed an amicus brief Monday supporting the university's race-inclusive admissions policy, which is under challenge in Fisher vs. Texas, the first Supreme Court case on affirmative action since 2003.
Co-authored by the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, the Black Ex-Students of Texas and UT's Black Students Alliance, it was one of several friend-of-the court briefs filed Monday backing UT's admissions system, including one from the Obama administration calling diversity crucial to the missions of the U.S. armed forces and numerous federal agencies.
In court documents last week, UT defended its use of race as one of many factors in admissions decisions, arguing that its policies represent a constitutional "holistic review" that promotes diversity.
The Supreme Court is expected to hear oral arguments Oct. 10. Its eventual ruling could impact university affirmative-action policies nationwide.
The case stems from a suit filed by Abigail Noel Fisher, a white student who claimed her race prevented her from being admitted as an undergraduate in 2008.
Seventeen amicus briefs have been filed on her behalf, including those of the Cato Institute, the Texas Association of Scholars and the Center for Individual Rights.
More than 35 organizations are supporting UT in the case, including the Anti-Defamation League, the National League of Cities, and the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund.
The black students' brief argues that removing UT's "holistic review" would cause a decline in African American enrollment and that of other underrepresented minorities, and that race neutrality in admissions "would severely impair UT's ability to achieve its educational mission." The decline in diversity, they say, would harm all students by limiting their exposure to different people and experiences.
UT students interviewed on campus last week offered support for the university's policy but said there was room for improvement.
"The university, by its own admission, is still not doing a great job on diversity," said student Joshua Tang, who is African American and Asian. "We know the problem, and then we have cases like Fisher where the very little that is being done is threatened."
While African Americans comprise 12 percent of the state's population, only 4 percent to 5 percent of UT students are black and only 5 percent of graduating African American high school seniors applied to UT in 2010, according to a 2011 study done by the university's African & African Diaspora Department.
Choquette Hamilton, a UT graduate student who was named in the brief, said removing race from the admissions process would reinforce the idea that the university is unwelcoming, which she said happened after Hopwood vs. Texas eliminated affirmative action in admissions in 1996.
In 2002, one year before the university began its current policy, 90 percent of UT's most common classes had zero or one black student, the university has argued.
"I know how we approach admission, and we don't have a quota," said Damilola Olatayo, a Nigerian pre-med student at UT who recalled being the only student of color in a class of 500. "We are going to win because we are fighting for what's right, and we will always fight to have our voices heard."
Correction: The NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund filed an amicus brief supporting the University of Texas at Austin's race-inclusive admissions policy. A story on Tuesday's page A11 of the Express-News and on mySA.com misidentified the group.

Thomas' triple double lifts Maryland to 90-40 win
Thomas' triple double lifts Maryland to 90-40 winMaryland forward Tianna Hawkins (21) high-fives teammates after being fouled as she scored a basket in the first half of an NCAA college basketball game against George Mason in College Park, Md., Saturday, Dec. 8, 2012. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky)
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) -- Maryland's Alyssa Thomas was encouraged by her teammates late in the game Saturday against George Mason to score just one more point so she could enter the Terrapins' record book.
Thomas got the opportunity with 5:29 remaining when a layup allowed her to secure the second triple double in team history.
Thomas finished with 11 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists to lead No. 9 Maryland to a 90-40 victory.
She became the first Terrapin to get a triple double since Marissa Coleman in 2006.
Tianna Hawkins, the ACC's leading scorer, scored 16 of her 27 points in the first half. Malina Howard and Tierney Pfirman each scored 11 points and Alicia DeVaughn had 10 for the Terrapins (6-2), who are the defending ACC champions.
''It was a huge honor but none of it would be possible without my teammates getting out in transition and finding them down the floor,'' Thomas said. ''That's what so great about our team because we are excited for each other's success. They wanted me to get it in the worst away. It took a long time, but they were really excited for me.''
Rahneeka Saunders scored 13 points and Kyana Jacobs had 10 for George Mason (4-4).
Maryland, which leads the nation in rebounding margin, continued to control the paint and outrebounded the Patriots 50-24.
The Terps shot 55.6 percent (35 of 53) from the field.
''It was a dominating win from start to finish,'' Maryland coach Brenda Frese said. ''I really liked our second half where we not satisfied, We really locked in defensively and shared the basketball.''
A free throw by Hawkins capped an 18-0 run by Maryland to open the game. George Mason did not manage any points until Janaa Pickard made a 3-pointer with 12:32 left in the first half.
Maryland used its considerable height advantage to continue to pull away. A pair of free throws by Hawkins in the closing seconds provided a 43-20 lead at the break. The Terps scored 15 points off 16 George Mason turnovers in the first half.
''I just came out with a lot of energy, knowing my teammates feed off my energy,'' Hawkins said. ''I know I have to do that every night.''
The second half was not much better for the Patriots as Hawkins scored 10 more points during a 17-3 run and Maryland increased the lead to 62-24 with 14 minutes remaining.
By that time, the focus was trying to get Thomas in the record books.
''That doesn't happen, obviously, without great teammates looking for each other,'' Frese said. ''I thought when we came out, you saw our firepower defensively.''
The Terps improved to 6-0 all-time against George Mason, which is located about 30-35 miles from Maryland's campus in Fairfax, Va.

Developing ProgrammHers
I would never label myself as a "coder" or "programmer," I can get by with basic code to make my blogs work, but that's where the story ends. It's an area I'd like to improve upon so when I saw this GOOD article about Etsy providing scholarships for women who were accepted into the summer Hacker School program to learn or improve their programming skills, the story received a double fist pump from yours truly.
Programming is undoubtedly a male-dominated profession, but Marc Hedlund, Etsy's VP of Engineering, acknowledges that men seem to use a site like Etsy in a different way than women. With such a female dominated user-ship (thousands of women sellers selling to thousands of women buyers), it only makes sense to want to add women to his programming team who might approach the user-experience differently.
As a handcrafter-blogger with a day job in digital marketing, the partnership of Etsy and Hacker School seems like a natural fit.
So what's the deal? Etsy will be handing out $5,000 scholarships to 10 women that get accepted to Hacker School in NYC. Why? While there are already efforts being made to reach girls at a younger age to generate interest in programming, Hedlund wants to see change sooner than that.
Sadly, the deadline is past for applications for the summer program. But you can sign up for notifications for the fall by going through this grants page.
Etsy is not the first to take notice, there's also "Girl Develop It" which offers female-oriented coding classes as well as other small groups popping up worldwide. I look forward to seeing more programs develop (and hopefully join in soon!).
What do you think about the imbalance of Dave-to-Girl ratio? How would the internet be different if women designed it? Leave a comment.

The Lumia 625 was recently launched by Nokia, sporting the largest display ever installed on a Lumia Windows Phone. The massive 4.7-inch screen enables owners to enjoy the familiar, yet unique experience with everything looking incredibly large.
Expansys currently stocks the handset and it's listed in the UK and US for £239.99 and $320 respectively.
While the display may be huge, it's unfortunately not HD. That said, for the price tag you'd not expect a high-end specification sheet. If the Lumia 520 just doesn't cut it for you, or you're a huge fan of the old HTC TITAN, the Lumia 625 may well just be the perfect companion for your journeys. The best part about purchasing a Nokia Windows Phone is the array of services and apps exclusively available.
For the UK the handset is available in black, while US residents can take advantage of white, black and yellow straight out of the box. It's worth noting that shells can be purchased separately to mix up the colour, just in case you get bored of the one that comes with the product.

Justin Williams, Jonathan Quick lead LA Kings past San Jose Sharks 2-1 in Game 7
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
LOS ANGELES – Justin Williams scored two goals in the second period, and the Los Angeles Kings advanced to the Western Conference finals with a 2-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks in Game 7 on Tuesday night.
Jonathan Quick made 25 saves as the defending Stanley Cup champions finished off this agonizingly even series with their 14th consecutive home victory over the past two months, including seven straight in the postseason.
The home team won all seven games in this thrilling all-California series, and the fifth-seeded Kings barely rode their home-ice advantage to victory in their first potential elimination game in the last two years.
Antti Niemi stopped 16 shots, and Dan Boyle scored early in the third period for the Sharks, who fell just short of their third trip to the conference finals in four years.

Russell Crowe: I Agree with Adam Lambert's 'Les Mis' Opinion
Russell Crowe has responded to criticism from Adam Lambert on the actors in Les Miserables "pretending to be singers".
When a fan sent the 48-year-old actor a tweet saying, "Not sure if you saw @adamlambert's comments about Les Miserables. He was pretty opinionated," Russell sent back a response.
"I don't disagree with Adam, sure it could have been sweetened, [director Tom] Hooper wanted it raw and real, that's how it is," Russell wrote.

Garden Tuesday - Garbage Can Potatoes!
Well, those of us who reside in the Pacific Northwest are quite familiar with Demeter's tears for a good portion of the year. But all is not lost. The warm rays of summer's sun have been blessing my little part of the universe lately, and just like Demeter, my mood has brightened considerably.
Today's post is actually a tutorial of sorts. (For you homeschoolers out there, this is a great garden project. It works well for any age group.) Years ago when my teenage kidlin's were wee tots, I read an article in Family Fun magazine about how to grow potatoes in a garbage can. and I was immediately intrigued. I mean how cool would it be to tell your family and neighbors that the potatoes they were eating were grown in such an unusual vessel? Well, to my surprise, a friend of mine actually saw the same article and gave it a go. She's a very successful gardener, and really raved about this method. This is a great method to produce a very large yield. I tucked this away in my memory banks as something to try.
Fast forward to this past weekend, when I was getting ready to plant my potatoes. I've been holding onto these spuds for a while as I particularly liked them and wanted to grow them myself from this particular bunch. It's been far to wet to plant them until now, so you'll notice that they've sprouted WAY BEYOND what is normally planted. Plus, I usually cut the potatoes up and just plant pieces of them, making sure each piece has a spouted eye on it. Still, these overly zealous sprouted potatoes were in great shape so ... waste not, want not.
Here's what you need:
1 large plastic garbage can (I used a 20 gallon one which is on the small size. Feel free to go bigger)
Drill for making drainage holes in can
Garden fabric or large rocks, pieces of pottery etc. for blocking draining holes
Gardening Soil – lots
Potatoes that have sprouted. (remember: you can cut the potatoes in half or thirds before planting making sure each piece has a sprouted bit on it)
Let's begin. Gather your kidlin's and let this be their project!Turn your garbage can upside down. Using a power drill, cut out drainage holes in the bottom of your can. Hubbyman did this for me. These holes are small, and so he positioned nine small holes as shown.Next, you'll need to cover the holes to keep the dirt from coming out just as you would for a potted plant.I choose to use yard fabric, but large stones or pieces of broken pottery would work just fine. Use what you've got.
Now dump in about 12" of gardening soil into the bottom of your can, breaking up any large clumps.Place your sprouted potato pieces on the dirt as shown.Cover with about 4" give or take, with additional soil.
Pick out a good book to read and wait for the plants to grow. In fact, you may want to pick out several books. Or take up a new hobby. Or build a deck. Or paint your house ... inside and out.
Ahem. The point is that it will take your plants a few weeks to make an appearance. Once they are about 6" tall or so, add about 3 more inches of soil covering up the leaves and everything on the bottom ½ of the plant. Repeat this process throughout the growing season until the can is almost full. Oh, and be sure to water your garbage can potatoes just as you would the rest of your garden. At the end of the growing season, dig out your potatoes, and wow your family and friends with your tale of the potatoes ala garbage can!
This is a great project for kids. It's also perfect for those who are new to gardening or who perhaps don't have a lot of space to grow potatoes in their yard. It's perfect for patio gardeners, too. Like I mentioned earlier, it will produce a high yield without taking up a lot of space. Best of all, it doesn't require a lot of hard work at all.Unlike this octo-legged fellow who's working quite hard on its web.
So what do you think? Care to give garbage can potatoes a try?

Hello fellow spud-sters!
Pam: It's a great way to get kids involved in growing food!
Marjie: Dumpster potatoes ... I LOVE it! You always make me laugh!
Duckie: You absolutely are the master or should I say mistress of suspense! Have mercy on me! :-)
Linda: Bossman's tire idea is great! He's a man of many talents!
Mrs. L: It's really fun for kids!
Ohio Mom: Cool! I wish my can was bigger as we can never have too many potatoes in this family!
Robynn: I'm all about the wacky and wonderful! :-)
Cathy: It's a great kid project. I'm looking forward to the farmers market ... especially sweet corn and melons!
Mark: I'll need to come up with a recipe that incorporates my spuds lowly origins!
Cheryl: Love Bella as your avatar photo! I also love being looped in the freakin cool category! I'm not sure of the exact yield ... my friend had potatoes coming out her ears.
Lynda: More and more I'm game for growing my own food, so any vessel is worth a try!
Pam: I thought it was cool when I first read about it, too!
Lo: It's perfect for us urban gardeners who value growing food, but have little or no garden space! I've no clue to the actual yield ... my friend told me I'd be up to my ears in spuds!

I did this last spring after my mom showed my your post. My kids absolutely LOVED doing this. it was such an adventure and the end product was delicious!
We planted both red potatoes and "regular" potatoes. (I'm not much of a gardener, can you tell???)
We followed your directions and voila! Tons and tons of potatoes!
Thanks so much for sharing. We can't wait to grow them again this year!

I couldn't get your post out of my head so had to try it! I have two garbage cans going. I started them in mid-May, not realizing I should wait til cooler weather. The russets are not cooperating but the Norlander red potatoes are doing great! Thanks for the idea. You can follow their progress on my blog http://midsummeroflife.com.

Instead of all top soil try a 40 % leaf mixture.
When grown you can pull the entire plant up without damaging the roots
Pick the spuds you want from the root system
lay the can down and remove a few shovels full of mixture
stand the can back up--put the plant back in--put the mixture back in and have more potatoes for weeks to come

While assisting a private contractor replace the old gutters on a modest two-story home in Greensboro, N.C., one sunny morning, a young man heard a loud noise from the area of the house where his boss had been working. The assistant was standing on a small stepladder on the house's raised wooden deck, preparing the roof edge to receive a new gutter, when he heard the noise and noticed the aluminum ladder his boss had been standing on was no longer in sight.
He immediately got down off the deck and walked around the corner of the house and found the contractor lying face up on the grass, about 8 to 10 feet away from the house. He was shaking and appeared to be having difficulty breathing. Despite calls to 9-1-1 and emergency rescue efforts, the contractor died on the scene.
No blood was found on or near the contractor's body, so it was fairly safe to rule out a blow to the head or another part of his body. The shaking of the body suggested that his heart was in fibrillation, which was confirmed by the medical personnel who later determined he had been electrocuted.
Before the accident, the contractor had been working his way around the house, using a 22-foot extension ladder to reach the gutter. It was at the northwest corner of the house, where the utility service drop for the house was located, that the accident took place (Fig. 1).
When he reached this corner, he would have had to climb down the ladder to move it around the service drop. Before he moved it, the top of the ladder was just lower than the service drop but around the corner. The assistant later stated that he glanced over and saw the top of the ladder slowly move away from the house and around the corner. He suspected that the contractor didn't collapse the ladder prior to moving it because he wanted to speed the job along. But shortly after the assistant went back to his work, he heard the noise and turned to find that the top of the ladder was nowhere to be seen.
We were called in to investigate the cause of the electrocution and provide testimony details for presentation in a court case that had been filed by the mother of the handyman against the electric utility company. I was asked to provide on-site details, photos, and a summary of the sequence of events. All photos and negatives were handed over to the attorney, and an audio summary of my findings was recorded at the scene. By the time we received the case it was already in subrogation. We were contacted months after the accident took place, so the body had already been buried, the ladder had been removed, and the electric utility company had been to the site. As a result, the details of our investigation were based on the evidence as it presented itself.
The assistant's description brought into question what exactly happened. Did the handyman make contact with the utility distribution feeder connected to the service drop or did he bring his ladder into contact with the service drop conductors? With only one witness who had a limited view, it was difficult to answer this question at first, but a thorough recreation of the events revealed that the cause of the accident was as simple as the steps that could have been taken to prevent it.
The facts behind the accident. Our investigation exposed several items of note. First, the corner of the house where the accident took place is located at a high point on the grass-surfaced yard. The surface angles downward from that corner of the house at a 5° slope. The service drop was located on the west side of the house, which was in the shade for most of the morning. As a result, it's likely that the grassy surface was damp with morning dew. Making matters worse, the event took place on a clear sunny day, and sundial calculations revealed that at the time of the accident the sunlight was almost directly parallel to the angle of the ladder against the house. This would have placed the sunlight in the handyman's eyes at the moment he was attempting to move the ladder around the corner of the house.
The 22.8kV 3-phase utility distribution feeder was located about 15 feet from the corner of the house. The conductors were 16 feet above the ground, which placed them in direct line with the height of the service drop. This measurement was estimated based on a comparable height measurement taken off of the raised wooden deck at the rear of the house. The height of the wires met National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) regulations, Table 232-1, which states that the vertical clearance from a "way subject to pedestrians" should be a minimum of 14.3 feet above the ground.
Based on the angle of the grassy surface and the height of the house's northwest corner, we estimated that the contractor would have had to extend the aluminum ladder about 18 to 20 feet to reach the upper corner of the house.
Because the contractor didn't collapse his ladder as he came around the corner, he was putting himself in danger of making contact with the overhead lines. He would have had to lift it up and balance it as he was moving around the corner, and its center of gravity would have been raised, causing it to become unstable and requiring more effort to maintain control. Based on information provided by the assistant, the contractor was about 6 feet tall. After lifting the ladder, he would have added about 2 feet to its extended height. This would most likely place the top of the ladder at approximately 20 to 22 feet off of the ground — about 2 feet above the service drop and well within range of the feeder conductors.
The environment would have also played a part in the unfortunate accident. As he was rounding the corner of the house, the sunlight would have hit him in the eyes, and he most likely lost his concentration for an instant. In addition, the ground had to have been slightly wet from the morning dew because the house was still blocking the grassy surface. These factors could have contributed to a minor struggle to maintain control of the ladder.
We determined that the combination of the sunlight, an imbalanced ladder, and the sloped wet ground more than likely caused him to lose his balance, slant the ladder back toward the distribution feeder conductors, and make contact with them (Fig. 2). The electrical energy would have passed through the ladder, through his body and into the ground, throwing him violently in some direction. The angle of his body indicated he was probably thrown away from the house and landed on his back.
Was the utility line located too close to the house? NESC regulations (Table 234-1) indicate 6.5 feet is the minimum required horizontal distance to a wall of a building. In this case, the horizontal distance between the house and the conductors was approximated to be greater than 10 feet.
Because he was experienced with this type of work, it's safe to assume the handyman was well aware of the hazards presented by the utility service drop, and he must have thought he had sufficient distance to work around the energized conductors. However, he couldn't have anticipated the sunlight or the wetness and slope of the grass. Even if he had walked around the house prior to starting the job, he might not have obtained sufficient information to realize the problem of working at this corner of the house.
The electric utility and the handyman's family settled their case out of court, but the accident ultimately demonstrated the importance of proper safety procedures — even when performing tasks that may have been carried out numerous times before. Though within NESC regulations, the height and displacement of the utility conductors, combined with the factors described above affecting the working area that morning, all contributed to the accident.
The best way to prevent the accident would have been for the handyman and his assistant to draw up a specific plan of action for working around this corner of the house. This could have included employing a safety person at this critical point to hold the ladder or just asking the assistant to help move the ladder around the service drop and the utility conductors. At the very least, the handyman could have avoided the accident by taking the time to lower the ladder while moving it (Sidebar above). Good planning and proper safety procedures could have prevented this needless death.

Sidebar: Ladders and Lines Don't Mix
The ladder is one of the most commonly used tools on any construction project, so it's easy to take for granted its danger potential near overhead power lines. The following safety guidelines from the Maryland Division of Labor and Industry Occupational Safety & Health Group may seem simple, but they're worth noting. Remember, safety doesn't have to be complicated.
Never attempt to carry a ladder in a vertical position. Ladders should be lowered and turned horizontally when transported from one location to another.
Extension ladders should be collapsed before lowering from a vertical position.
Never attempt to raise or lower an extension ladder without assistance.
When working around overhead electric lines or with electrical equipment, wooden or fiberglass ladders provide a safer alternative than metal.

Inia didn't even seem be bothered about wearing a school swimsuit, even gave the teddy bear something to wear.
Episode was a lot better than I thought as they began talking about their past and problems.
I kind of had some hint about Scarlet Twins hating the sea when Inia said she didn't like the sea last ep and Cryska fainting.

Gave it a 9.
No mechaporn, but I like the episode. Made me laugh and feel good all the way to the end, unlike other recent series.
Yet gave it a 9 just because I was expecting Cryska to melt down a bit more in the end and I was also expecting Yui to go out in a full brazilian bikini. XD

Rather than High School students, I think that University Undergrads might be more apt.
Age wise, they'd be University Undergrads if there was no BETA War, I'd imagine, and personality wise, they are supposed to correspond to people in their early 20's, not late Teens.

Chobi and Inia have all the feel of Child Soldiers, and it has been suggested (and I did predict in Episode 2) that Chobi's childishness hides a very, very unstable personality.

My first post on this episode was more on the things I enjoyed. This one is more critical.
While I thought the episode was fun, I did have some problems with it. I get that they were trying to develop the characters this episode, I do. It was kinda hit and miss. I liked the interaction between Yuuya and Cryska. It was good to see them have an actual conversation and get some insight as to how they see each other. Only problem being that it felt a little bit forced.
As for Yui... Are they just turning her into the standard tsundere character? I mean I get that they're trying to show a softer side to her, but come on she was acting like the typical jealous childhood friend character we see from time to time in so many other series. I like Yui's character. I think that she is a good female character. I understand that they're trying to "defrost the ice queen" as the trope calls it, but they're taking some steps in the wrong direction with her character. Just show other sides of her personality.
Now for the bit at the end. I did point out things I liked about it in the earlier post, and I like fan-service as much as the next guy, but it felt forced. What was the point to it? Did we need it? Don't get me wrong I think Yui in a bikini is all good in the hood, but was it needed? Like Triple_R said it felt like shameless fan-service.

I doubt most of you, those who love this series, are going to like my post very much. Please stop reading now, if that is the case.
Take EVA for example. It went into great detail to explain why kids are the pilots and main characters. You could watch it and think, "Yeah, okay, it had to be kids cause the rules of the EVA universe dictate that not anyone can control an EVA. Look how much trouble these kids are having - mental breakdowns and all. Yes, I could see how this would be possible." Suspension of Disbelief satisfied.
MLA:TE on the other hand, well, lets see how it was planned out.
Lets make them anime about adults in the military who are representatives of different countries. "Sure. Sounds great." Now, lets make it the end of the world with an alien race of bug-things slowly taking over the planet. "Cool." Then we'll say that the main characters are test pilots who are trying to perfect a weapon that is the last best hope for humanity. "God, this sounds awesome!" Then, finally, have all the main characters act like high school students in a silly logical love triangle (it isn't even a triangle, lets be honest). "Uhhh... but..." Oh, and then we'll make sure the rest of the world allows this to happen by no one acting in the manor in which anyone would believe them to act based on their age/sex/title/military rank/position/life experiences. "No, that doesn't make any sense!! That doesn't sound like it could happen..."
Green-light it!
(Suspension of Disbelief completely breached.)
I watched it twice and still do not know what it was about. We learned that Cry and In. are test tube experiments (Will that matter later on?? - Yuuya doesn't know, only the audience does.) What did either of them gain from it?
"Do you like my sister?"
"Why do you want to know?"
"I dont like the sea... You are Japanese"
"How dare you!"
"Ah, so you like Yui."
Whaaaaaaaaat did I just watch?!
I really felt that most of that episode was pointless and made no sense,
As for the swimsuits, after several searches on Google/Bing for Russian school uniform swimsuits and the like I could find no examples of them. I did find tons of anime characters wearing them, and most of those to be hentai... blah.
The racism in the series could work - if it wasn't all "Japan is great and all your countries are messed up for reasons A/B/C. You should all be Japanese and just forget your cultural heritage - it is not the Japanese way."
As for the ending of the episode, why did the girls have to parade their sex out in front of the whole US/USSR contingents? Perhaps, because they got stranded at see and needed a rescue? SERIOUSLY?! Could that happen in the US military or for that matter the Russian? Perhaps some behind the scenes intimation and sexual assaults, that I could believe. But having a "photo shoot" punishment in front of 100 horny guys. Ugh, just, seriously ugh. Heck, I used to live near a Japanese military base and that kind of stuff would never happen there either - at least not in this context (Perhaps a military beauty pageant? Doubtful but I suppose possible...) Finally, would Russian military commanders allow their top pilots the humiliation of being ogled at by a bunch of horn-dogs, no less in another countries swimsuit style... and with their names written in that other countries language. No, no. Oh, and no. Poor writing and poor research on every level.
(5/10) I already feel the stitches of universe unraveling with me giving it such a high score. I dare go no higher.

For the last 2 episodes, considering most of the individual scenes separately, they're generally enjoyable or interesting. The problem I have is taking the episodes / mini story arcs as a whole, a number of things seem quite shallow and poorly developed. Given that this is based off a series of novels, I was hoping for more depth. The mecha and sci-fi aspects are quite interesting and I'm happy with most of that but the author / script-writer doesn't seem to be able to develop the characters without resorting to tropes. Now, I'm not going to demand originality for the sake of it, but if you're going to resort to using tropes you should at least execute them well.
So... enjoyable in pieces but lacking in overall satisfaction.
While things may be looking up with more action hinted at in the next episode, the longer term problem I have is I don't really care about most of the characters enough - it wouldn't affect me much if/when they die. I dunno if we'll see any side characters dying yet, but I dont get the feeling we'll be seeing any of the 4 major characters die soon so any action scenes would rather lose the tension they could have had.
PS I dont think it's a very good excuse to say that because the overall franchise is based on an eroge we should automatically forgive certain faults - this is an anime series and it should stand on it's own merits if it wants to succeed. If you're just preaching to the choir (ie eroge players) then what's the point of doing an anime version really?

The mecha/sci-fi scenes are fanservice for mecha/sci-fi fans
The harem/shounen-romantic-comedy scenes are fanservice for harem/shounen-romantic-comedy fans
On the whole, the show is fanservice for people who like the particular blend of elements shown (serious wartime action/mecha when it wants to be, silly harem comedy/romance when it wants to be).
If that's true, then the story can only be taken as seriously as you want to take it. People who dislike one element or the other may find the blend intolerable, at least at times. But at a certainly point, rather than thinking it should be more of A and less of B, we may have to conclude that the intention of the writers (for better or worse) may have been to create "AB". I've seen similar arguments for other shows that have blended these sorts of elements before.

Well, we could always consider the Commercial angle to everything. There has always been an element of pandering to this anime, I think, in it's objectives.
But still, scratch that layer of pandering, and there is indeed substance. Poorly adapted substance it seems, but hey, it did spark page after page of debate after Episode 2 and 3.

Right. We're only 7 episodes in of a series that is 24 episodes long. Total Eclipse has shown that it can tell a pretty good story, just look at episodes 1-5. Yes, this was the weakest episode of the series so far. TE is going back to what the story is about with the next episode, which will hopefully be better.

I basically agree with most of the critical comments posted in this thread.
This episode is rather bad. Unlike the previous episode which somehow works in revealing Yui's soft side a bit, this episode is overall a pain to watch. Aside from many unbelievable (and highschool harem cliche) elements here, the only redeeming thing is seeing Cryska's attempt to undestand another person (for the first time, one could argue). While Yui's character has turned into a "generic teenage female tsundere with military ranks". Sigh....
And that last "forced photoshooting" scene is really really uggggghhh......! Sagecat has already describe my agony of watching it. The problem is not the fanservice itself, but how it is written, and this episode done it poorly.
You know, before watching this, I never thought that I'll miss seeing those BETAs more than Yui-in-a-bikini. Yet, this very episode made that feeling came true.

I think this episode would have been better if they actually developed Yui's dere towards Yuuya. Because her dere just seemed really sudden.
Not that I would have been able to pay much attention anyways, with the butts and breasts everywhere.

this episode is full win that I can't stop grinning and laughing with all the troubles that comes in different way from nom nom. Yuuya having a very hard battle to understand and get along with Yui Cryska is also a nice add to the cat fight with her being straight forward with her interest and also loving the fan service at the end. I even completely forgot that Yui and Yuuya are always having a childish banter. Like it didn't exist. I wonder if its good or bad.

SLAM To Title Sponsor 2009 U.S. Melges 24 National Championship Series
25 February 2009
High tech sailing sportswear manufacturer SLAM named title sponsor of 2009 U.S. Melges 24 National Championship Series. Thirty high-spirited events spread across the USA will combine to award 1 overall champion title and 6 district titles.
The U.S. Melges 24 Class Association (USMCA) is pleased to announce that SLAM Advanced Technology Sportswear has been named title sponsor of the 2009 National Championship Series (NCS). The NCS is a 30 event series, across all 6 U.S. districts, with the goal to increase participation and overall awareness of the Melges 24 class. Winners of the NCS events, including overall nationally as well as district champions, will be awarded with custom embroidered trophies of various SLAM gear. With SLAM's support, the USMCA will be able to provide well-deserved recognition to these winning teams including those that qualify and win in the progressive Corinthian division. The 2009 NCS will offer every Melges 24 team the chance to experience SLAM's high tech sailing gear, clothing and accessories, which are the best in class.
"This is a win-win sponsorship and opportunity for both SLAM and the Melges 24." says USMCA Class President Travis Weisleder. "The Championship Series is designed to motivate more Melges 24 teams across the country to participate in not only their local club events, but also their regional events. This sponsorship, combined with our new dues structure is all within our 2009 goals of increasing membership and awareness of the class, while still having fun. What we have created is an incredible cross section of 30 regattas nationwide to reach deep into the heart of the Melges 24 fleet and expose teams to a higher level of competition with very little effort and cost."
SLAM is no stranger to the Melges 24 Class. For the last two years, SLAM has supported the USMCA as well as many teams within the fleet. This title sponsorship agreement takes their support to a higher level. "We are quite excited to be the title sponsor of the Melges 24 National Championship Series." says Filippo Bovio, President of Regata USA, LLC the official U.S. Distributor of SLAM. "This is a distinct opportunity for us to further expose our sailing gear to more Melges 24s and show them how it has been designed with sportboat sailor in mind."
"It is our goal to make the very best sailing gear, and with that concept in mind, we partner with only the best in the world. We recently were chosen by BMW Oracle Racing as their official team supplier and now, we partner with the U.S. Melges 24 Class." continued Bovio. "We have proven many times, that our unique approach to clothing design and use of innovative fabrics, enable our products to help a team improve their overall performance. We understand that comfort is a key ingredient to winning in the Melges 24."
Already the 2009 SLAM National Championship Series has delivered success. The first event took place in St. Petersburg at the NOOD Regatta on February 13-15 boasting an impressive 45 entrants from 15 states and Canada. The Melges 24 fleet was the largest one design sportboat in attendance.

Major League Baseball Roundup -- April 11
Published on April 12 2013 6:30 am
Last Updated on April 12 2013 6:30 am
Written by Millie Lange
Giants Rally Past Cubs
(Chicago, IL) -- The Giants scored four times in the fourth and three in the fifth to overcome a 5-0 deficit and beat the Cubs 7-6 at Wrigley Field. Scott Feldman was charged with six runs, but just two earned in less than five innings to fall to 0-and-2 for Chicago. Anthony Rizzo homered and Brent Lillibridge singled in two for the Cubs in defeat. The Cubs sent Carlos Villanueva to the hill today against Matt Cain.
-- Cubs minor leaguer Jorge Soler is facing a five-game suspension and fine after charging an opposing dugout with a bat. The incident occurred in Wednesday's Single-A game between the Daytona Cubs and Clearwater Threshers. Cubs General Manager Theo Epstein says Soler regrets his actions. Benches cleared after a hard slide at second base. After everyone returned to the dugout, Soler grabbed a bat and charged toward the Clearwater dugout. He was pulled away by others and ejected.
-- Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel isn't happy with someone's decision to leave a severed goat head at Wrigley Field. The goat head was delivered to Wrigley on Wednesday and turned over to police. It's not known why it was sent to owner Tom Ricketts, but it's been suggested it has to do with negotiations between the Cubs, the city and Wrigleyville owners on possibly renovating the stadium. No arrests have been made.
Nats Sweep White Sox
(Washington, DC) -- The Nationals completed a three-game sweep of the White Sox with a 7-4 win at Nationals Park. Chicago put up 13 hits, but left 11 runners on base. Adam Dunn and Alejandro De Aza each knocked in their fifth run of the season. Dylan Axelrod took the loss, giving up six runs across three-and-two-thirds innings. The White Sox are 4-5. Jose Quintana throws for the Sox tonight against Justin Masterson as they open a three-game series with Cleveland.
-- White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham is expected to miss the next six weeks due to a fractured hamate bone in his left wrist. Beckham injured himself swinging at a pitch in the second inning of Chicago's 8-7 loss to the Nationals on Tuesday. The White Sox initially believed the injury was just simple nerve irritation, but an MRI on Thursday revealed the fracture, which will require surgery to repair. Beckham was hitting .316 with an RBI and one run scored this season.
Cards Host Brewers
(St. Louis, MO) -- The Cardinals are back on the field tonight as they open a three-game series against the Brewers at Busch Stadium. Shelby Miller is expected to start opposite former Cardinals starter Kyle Lohse, who signed with Milwaukee last month. The Cards are 5-4 while the Brewers are off to a 2-6 start.
Dodgers Lose Greinke To Fractured Collarbone
(San Diego, CA) -- The Dodgers will be without Zack Greinke for the foreseeable future. According to the team's Twitter account, Greinke suffered a fractured left collarbone following a benches-clearing brawl. San Diego Padres outfielder Carlos Quentin charged the mound after he was drilled by a fastball. This is Greinke's first season with the Dodgers after signing a six-year deal worth nearly $150-million this offseason.

English Rugby
Lancaster: Vunipola 'ticks all the boxes' at No.8
ESPN Staff
April 9, 2013

England coach Stuart Lancaster is keeping a close eye on London Wasps' young talent ahead of their summer tour to Argentina and has heaped praise on No.8 Billy Vunipola.
Wasps had just two representatives turning out for England during the Six Nations with both James Haskell and Joe Launchbury playing a key part in their campaign. But Lancaster also included Vunipola and Elliot Daly in the mix as cover for various injuries and the pair could now be on the plane to Argentina come the summer.
Lancaster took in Wasps' Amlin Challenge Cup quarter-final against Leinster on Friday and was impressed by a host of their younger players while Christian Wade would have done his chances no harm after he bagged an impressive brace of tries.
"I thought Elliot did well at full-back as well as Billy Vunipola, Joe Launchbury and Tom Lindsay; there are lots of players here who are all there or thereabouts for the summer tour," Lancaster told the London Evening Standard.
"From an England point of view it's very exciting because we know these guys are not just going to be around for the next six months, but the next six years and beyond."
And Vunipola, who will join Saracens at the end of the season, looks set to earn his first Test cap come the summer after missing out during the Six Nations due to injury.
"In terms of a ball-carrying No.8, Billy ticks all the boxes," said Lancaster. "He was unfortunate not to get his opportunity against France. I told him he was selected and he twisted his ankle in training so it was disappointing for him to miss out."

Top 5 Wedding No-No's - What NOT to Wear!
The truth is that there's really nothing wrong with wearing a red dress to a wedding. The real underlying issue with red is that it draws the eye, BIG time. And if there is only one bright red dress among a sea of pastel shades, it will stand out like a sore thumb on the group photos. To avoid stealing the show, I'd suggest avoiding red all together. Especially if the dress color could be described as "fire engine red." Bright red is just too loud and distracting. Deep cranberry is a good alternative.
A common wedding dress guest mistake is failing to check the invitation dress code to see which style of outfit is appropriate. For a black tie dress code an evening gown or cocktail dress is expected, for a white tie dress code nothing but a ball gown will suffice, and for a lounge suit dress code a daytime summer dress, a skirt and top or a light suit is required. If there is no dress code on the invitation, a colorful summer dress is usually a safe bet. Dress codes should be paid attention to. Believe me, you don't want to feel out of place. Nothing could feel more awkward.
Wedding guest outfits shouldn't look too much like the bridesmaids' dresses. Some guests make the effort to find out the wedding color scheme and choose a coordinating dress, which is a great idea. Wearing an identical dress to the bridesmaids, however, can give the impression of being offended at not being asked to be one. Of course coincidences happen and sometimes guests will unknowingly turn up in the same color as the bridesmaids, which can't be helped.

YPSILANTI (AP) -- Derek Thompson scored 14 points and helped spark a key second-half run Friday to lead Eastern Michigan to a 66-52 win over Rochester College in the regular season opener for the Eagles.
Eastern Michigan led only 31-28 at halftime. But Thompson hit a 3-pointer as the Eagles went on a 10-2 run over 4 minutes of the second half to take a 51-27 lead with 10:15 left.
Lake Orion grad Drew Maynard hit a layup for Rochester (6-2) to draw the Warriors within 55-48 with 5:51 to play, but the Eagles pulled away from there and led by as many as 18.
Maynard led Rochester with 27 points and Stavros Schizas added 11.
Daylen Harrison and Ray Lee each scored 12 points for the Eagles, who shot 49 percent for the game, outrebounded Rochester 39-22 and had a 35-2 edge in points from bench players.

Can you read a book twice?
Nope (except for manga).
well yeah .. some novels ..
Yes, I read World War Z 3 times now... and Hagakure about 8 when I was in high school.
Of course.
See you, space cowboy
i re read when ive wanna go bak and look at somthing again or if im bord and the books gud
-http://lamacchia.deviantart.com/ <--check out mi art!!!! :D
Yea I re-read books sometimes. (But I rarely read books.....should make reading a habit now...it's not too late... I hope
For english assignments, it's sort of a must because there's always some hidden meaning I missed out or something.
Perseverance goes a long way.
I can't read a book once.
I tried, but if I know what's happening in the book I wont even get passed the first page without putting the book down. Read all the harry potter books since I was a kid, I dont read much manga, usually cos I watch the anime's first. Unless the anime is different to the manga, I dont even pick up books nowadays.
Yep! I re-read 'hush, hush' for the third time two days ago. Never will I get bored of that book ♥
October, the third book comes out! Can't wait! ^.^
\'I got razor blade lips, I\'m gonna kiss some wrists\'♪ Turbonegro ♥
If it were on of my favorites, yeah.
Semi-hiatus. I\'m either at school, doing something for school, or proscanating.
of course I dont see why not. a good book is surely worth reading at least twice if you ask me
Hi my name is Ray and these are my real teeth
Is it any good? Then yeah. Twice, thrice. There's this series of books that I've read each and every book up to ten times...
I might have to bend it back and break it, break it off!
Neil Gaiman's "Neverwhere"
if the book is REALLY REALLY good to me
replies will be late. or none at all *busy watching anime...
There are some books that you can read over again, and usually for a variety of reasons:
- It's confusing: If the vocabulary utilized in the book is challenging for you, re-reading sections of the book can help you better understand the intent by context. Though this is more often seen while you're reading a book, you can also approach a book you once found difficult (after your vocabulary has been expanded) to see if you can offer a new perspective from your last read.
- It has foreshadowing: If the book is read for pleasure, after knowing the plot, you can re-read a story to figure out what, if any indications were provided that hinted, even subtly, about plot changes. Though this applies mainly to mysteries, with a little imagination, every story plot can be perceived as an unsolved and unravelling puzzle. The challenge here is if you can solve it before the answer has been revealed.
- It's long: With lengthy books, sometimes you don't get very far into a book before you begin to forget details you've only just read recently. Re-reading will allow you to go over parts you were otherwise preoccupied with on a previous read. For example, the story is really engaging, and you become fascinated on one character. You skip around when a new perspective comes in and only skim, in case there are passing references to the character, but otherwise, your mind is not really on what you're reading. After discovering the story of one character, you can follow another character's path through the plot to better take in their perspective, and how it's different from the first. This can blend both foreshadowing and confusion, but it differs slightly in that there must be multiple characters, and you choose to follow and empathize with one protagonist at a time.
- Analysis: If you yourself aspire to write a story, you can always re-read stories you like to find out what about the writing style you admire and can emulate. If you've become fascinated with a particular author's work, you can analyze what exactly you like about it to find similar authors if your available selection seems to dwindle.
- Obscure facts: Reference books, enough said... sometimes you might re-read an entire book to simply refresh your perspective when you last saw a particular passage. When sequels and series refer to a scene or event that happened earlier, you might re-read the corresponding earlier book or section to verify the details of the event.
- Multiple interpretations: Take the Bible as an example: There are plenty of people who are determined that they know exactly what to do, who to talk to, what to say, and how you might be able to walk a desired path in life, all based upon their interpretations of a single book.
- It's intended to be memorized, or simply reading it once doesn't do enough justice to the work. Think of music books here. Performing a piece of written music, in loose sheet or book format, usually requires looking it over multiple times, and playing it multiple times. Each time you play a piece of music, you can interpret or weave in a variety of emotion that you as the performer feels, which changes the tone of the piece altogether. Also books like those Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books... you could never read them once if you got into it... when you go through the book there's usually multiple spots where you really want to find out what happens when you 'choose the other action' than the one you originally go with... early version RPG games anyone?
- It's a story you enjoyed, but have since forgotten the details about... and still have the book available, so you re-read the book to experience the story once again. Usually in this case, getting into the story itself accelerates the amount you can remember, usually resulting in skimming lightly to refresh it in your mind once more.
Tell me; I'll forget. Show me; I'll remember. Teach me; I'll understand.

Taylor Swift's jam-packed schedule might be getting even busier!
The 20-year-old country star recently revealed she has been in talks with the Glee camp and would be open to the idea of having her songs featured on the hit Fox show.
"There have been conversations," she tells Zap2It. "And when those happen with all these new opportunities, it usually comes down to scheduling. I'm a huge fan of the show, and I think it showcases music in a great way, so I would be really excited if anything were to happen there."
Meanwhile, Taylor is set to kick off a bi-coastal launch for her new album, Speak Now, out October 25!
WOULD YOU TUNE IN for a Taylor Swift Glee episode?

Well, the doctor says my shoulder replacement is doing fine, but I've apparently been over using it (surprise, surprise) and it's tightened up, so he is sending me to physical therapy for a while. I'm okay with PT, but my favorite, walks-on-water, miracle working therapist is no where to be found. I don't know that I trust my new body parts to anyone else. My first session is Wednesday around lunch so we'll see what the new guy has to say.
The new Simponi drug seems to be doing better than the Humira. For the first week, I didn't hurt at all, but it wore off after about a week and now my knees, as well as most of the rest of me, are back to their normal, painful selves. My finger joints are also starting to bother me. My right index finger, especially, which is my mouse-driving digit. The distal has enlarged to where it's about twice the size of the one on the left hand. It's not real obvious until/unless you see them side by side, and no one really does except my manicurist. I am hopeful that the Simponi will build up in my system, much like the Humira was supposed to have and that the effects of the injection will last longer each time.
I see my internist for my six-month check up tomorrow. I don't expect any surprises, but then what do I know. At least I don't have to fast for this appointment. I get cranky when that happens.
Jack's new Lexus came in. They forgot to put on the pin striping and the spoiler, so he's a bit upset. He's only driven it like once since he picked it up. Of course, there is no reason to put miles on the new car when the existing Cadillac is sitting out on the driveway with miles still left on the lease.
That's all I know. I'll check in after the various upcoming doctor appts.
Cheers, and thanks for checking in.
