Tomasini Grinover Holds On To First At 2014 Melges 32 Miami Winter Regatta
2 March 2014
Miami, Fla. - Day two at the 2014 Miami Winter Regatta hosted at Miami Beach Marina supported by Coconut Grove Sailing Club and Melges USA featured three more races revealing Roberto Tomasini Grinover's Robertissima in first by one point. Right behind is Jason Carroll and his Argo team in second, then John Kilroy's Samba Pa Ti in third.
The day started out under postponement, but in the end everyone agreed that PRO Anderson Reggio made the right decision to hold off until the breeze settled in. For Carroll's Argo, it was well worth the wait.
Carroll was called OCS in the first race of the day, only to come back and win the heat. Tomasini Grinover kept Carroll within visual reach as he happily took second, followed by Germany's Dieter Schoen on Momo in third.
The Argo team continued their success in Races Five and Six, leaving them no other choice than to take home with a handful of bullets.
After racing, teams enjoyed beer and snacks as they relaxed and prepared for the party at the Delano, sponsored in part by the Argo team.
Two final heats in the eight race series remains. The first warning on Sunday is 11.00.
Each day, the IM32CA will bring the the latest news, results, pictures and more from the course as the action is happening. Please visit the class Facebook page for constant updates.

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) said on Monday that it sold three million iPads in the first three days since the launch of its new iPad mini and fourth-generation iPad, doubling the previous record reached in March for the third-generation device.
Continue Reading Below
"We set a new launch weekend record and practically sold out of iPad minis," Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a statement. "We're working hard to build more quickly to meet the incredible demand."
The WiFi + cellular versions of both the iPad mini and newest iPad will ship in a "few weeks" in the U.S. and to other countries, including Japan, China, France, Australia and Germany, later this year, Apple said.
The iPad mini with WiFi is selling for $329 for the 16 gigabyte model to as high as $529 for the 64 GB model. The WiFi + Cellular version ranges from $459 to $659.
The fourth-generation iPad with WiFi ranges from $499 to $699, while the WiFi + Cellular model will be priced between $629 and $829.

Kanye West headlined a very intimate gig Saturday night: playing the wedding singer at a reception for the grandson of Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev.
Dude reportedly picked up $3 million or so for the night, TMZ said, and according to the New York Times, young guests snapped photos with the rapper in the background and uploaded video of the performance. All that after a red-carpet arrival.
Business as usual, right? Not so fast.
Kazakhstan has a bad reputation when it comes to human rights, including freedom of speech, one of West's favorite things. And Nazarbayev has been in charge for 23 years now, since before the fall of the Soviet Union, which counted the country as a member.
"Kazakhstan is a human rights wasteland," Thor Halvorssen, president of the Human Rights Foundation, said Tuesday in a statement. "The regime crushes freedom of speech and association; someone like Kanye, who makes a living expressing his views, would find himself in a prison under Nazarbayev's rule. This particular dictator's ruthless behavior includes kidnapping the families of dissidents to his rule and abusing judicial systems across the world in persecuting his opponents."
Garry Kasparov, chairman of the Human Rights Foundation, said in the statement that the money West was paid "came from the loot stolen from the Kazakhstan treasury."
In 2011, Sting backed out of a concert in the Kazakh capital, Astana, after being advised by Amnesty International of conditions in the country, particularly those surrounding an oil workers strike, which according to HRF left 15 dead and more than 100 injured by national security forces.
"Hunger strikes, imprisoned workers and tens of thousands on strike represents a virtual picket line which I have no intention of crossing," Sting said at the time, according to BBC News. "The Kazakh gas and oil workers and their families need our support and the spotlight of the international media on their situation in the hope of bringing about positive change."
More recently, Jennifer Lopez was thrust into the playing-for-dictators spotlight when she crooned "Happy Birthday" to the president of Turkmenistan during a concert put on by China National Petroleum Corp. for the entertainment of its executives there. She later apologized, saying she was unaware of human-rights issues in the country.

New Blog: Nothing But Tombstones
When one blog just isn't enough, what do you do? Create a new one!
I invite my genealogy friends and followers to visit my new blog, Nothing But Tombstones. I have enough tombstone photographs to last for about ten years worth of Geneabloggers' Tombstone Tuesdays that I decided to create a new blog just for tombstone and cemetery photographs that I've taken over the years.
Since many of the tombstone photographs are kin and other relation, I will post some brief biographical information to accompany the tombstone photo.
I'm just getting started with the blog, but would appreciate it it my blogger colleagues will take a couple minutes to check it out and perhaps sign up to follow the blog.

I just had to include a cheesecake dessert in my 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies. I know they aren't cookies but they could pass as a bar cookie. Right? Either way, if you love cheesecake as much as I do, you really have to make these for your dessert/cookie tray this year. Cheesecake is really easy to make and the results are always so impressive. These are super easy because you make them in a 9 x 13 pan instead of a Springform pan. (see instructions below for making a traditional cheesecake in a springform pan)
These cheesecake bars were for my husband's Thanksgiving work party. I had to cut the bars at home and quickly take some pictures before he carted them off to work. There were only a few left, so my thoughtful husband brought 2 home for me to try. And I'm so glad he did! They are soooooo good. Creamy pumpkin cheesecake with a gingersnap and pecan crust. And the swirls are so pretty.
Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake Bars
Recipe by Kraft Foods
25 NABISCO Ginger Snaps, finely crushed (about 1-1/2 cups)
1/2 cup finely chopped PLANTERS Pecans
1/4 cup butter, melted
4 pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1 cup sugar, divided
1 tsp. vanilla
4 eggs
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
Dash ground cloves
Preheat oven to 325°F
Mix crumbs, nuts and butter; press onto bottom of 13x9-inch pan.
Beat cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar and vanilla with mixer until well blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each just until blended. Remove 1-1/2 cups batter. Stir remaining sugar (1/4 cup), pumpkin and spices into remaining batter.
Spoon half the pumpkin batter into crust; top with spoonfuls of half the plain batter. Repeat layers; swirl with knife.
Bake 45 min. or until center is almost set. Cool completely. Refrigerate 4 hours.
Make it Easy: Line pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides. Use foil handles to lift chilled cheesecake from pan before cutting to serve.
How to Prepare Cheesecake in Springform Pan: To bake cheesecake in 9-inch springform pan instead, prepare as directed increasing the bake time to 55 min. to 1 hour 5 min or until center is almost set.
Cheesecake Tip: To help avoid cracks in your cheesecake, place Springform pan in a baking pan. Add boiling water to baking pan about 1 inch in depth. Make sure to wrap bottom and sides of Cheesecake pan with tin foil to prevent water from seeping into pan. The water surrounds the cheesecake with gentle even heat, reducing the chance of a cracked top.

I love the swirl effect.
Mom's Cooking Club Lesson: Gift/Packaging Idea - Make these Cheesecake Bars in a nice 9 x 13 pan, like these personalized, engraved pans from The Cake Pan Lady. Give pumpkin bars and pan to your mom, sister, grandmother, aunt, friend, hostess of party or anyone on your gift list. If putting out on your dessert table or office party, cut in bars and place on a nice holiday platter or silver tray. Watch them disappear!

Hi! So I haven't been around in quite a while. (I miss this place!) I need some help. A friend has a little dachshund, she's about 7lbs. Around 3 months ago she hurt her neck. The vet put her on medication and though she seems much, much better now there is another small issue.
She hates harnesses. The vet recommends against a collar for obvious reasons but this little girl just hates the harness he bought to put on her. It's a normal harness, it's not bulky at all. He tried her old collar briefly, just to see what she would do, and sure enough she was ready to go with that but he didn't want to risk using it.
Any ideas on alternates? She used to love walks and the vet recommends more exercise but it's impossible with her. She just lays down and won't move about 80% of the time. Treats have been used to coax her out to no avail but I'm open to any ideas to suggest to my friend.
Thank you!

Dolly Parton is not gay and it's a real shame. The country crooner/business woman/actress/all-around super woman has been an entertainer for decades. What is amazing about her is that, in those years, she has never stopped telling the truth. So why would she stop now? The gay rumors currently swirling around her and her memoir Dream More are kind of laughable.
Parton openly chats about her plastic surgery, her marriage, and her "look" modeled after the town tramp. So the rumors that she is gay and that she and her best friend since the third grade are gay lovers are, sadly, hogwash.
Parton has long been a gay icon and been open in her support for LGBT rights. She even holds a "Gay Day" at her theme park, Dollywood. See below:
The fact is, if Dolly were gay, she'd be gay. Period. End of story. Why can't people just accept that?
Don't get me wrong, it would be awesome if she were, indeed, gay. The best thing about Dolly has always been her openness, her loving warmth to everyone, and her ability to get the job done while also being sweet. She would make a spicy and sassy gay rights advocate. But you don't have to be gay to be that! And Dolly already is.
Gay rumors are only compelling when they are about someone who is SO obviously homosexual (hello, John Travolta) and so obviously wanting to stay in the closet.
When they are about someone who would be open if she were gay, they are kind of yawn worthy. Dolly Parton is no one's liar. If she were a homosexual, she'd be open about it.
Move on, people!
Do you think Parton is gay?

I suck at planning ahead. No two ways about it, I'm forgetful and always distracted and never prepared for anything, particularly not the holidays -- PARTICULARLY not Thanksgiving. So where was I today, the day before THANKSforGIVINGme-a-migraine? Why, I was at the grocery store, of course, battling all the other last-minute shoppers for whatever was left on the shelves (the dented can thing is a myth, right?).
And you know what? It wasn't so bad. HA! I'm lying! It WAS so bad. It was sooooo bad. As bad, if not worse, than every other last-minute Thanksgiving grocery shopping trip of my life. (You'd think I would've learned my lesson by now, but no.) Perhaps you too are a last-minute shopper? Or maybe you're one of those super-organized types who orders your turkey in August. If you're the former, read the following list and chuckle knowingly. If you're the latter, read the following list and snicker smugly.
5 Reasons Why Shopping for Thanksgiving at the Last Minute is a Nightmare
1. The guy re-stocking the dairy section for the millionth time today might snap and beat you over the head with a carton of heavy cream if you ask him about the organic non-dairy whipped topping that doesn't exist.
2. Shopping cart traffic jams can cause serious injury and possible permanent disfigurement to ankles, hips, knees and toes.
3. Confused by the colorful and attractive displays, unprepared shoppers run the risk of forgetting everything on their non-existent lists, leaving with bags full of nothing but artisanal olive oil, fig chutney, peppermint tea-infused scones and fair trade dark chocolate mini turkeys.
4. Standing in line for more than 45 minutes at a time has been known to trigger flashbacks to The Walking Dead so realistic you could end up trying to behead the "zombie" behind you with a plastic butter knife from the take-out counter.
5. When you call your mother from the baking supplies aisle because suddenly you can't remember whether her apple pie recipe calls for baking powder or baking soda, you will invariably get into a huge argument about last Thanksgiving when you had the nerve to go to your in-laws' for dinner instead, you ungrateful little so-and-so.
Are you a last-minute shopper? Did you have any nightmare-ish experiences today?

Boating Etiquette: Reading between "The Rules"
Published on Jul 21, 2011
These basic rules of the road that show you how to operate your boat and you shouldn't leave the dock until you've spent some time getting to know what you're doing. It's the same method you would follow with a car (on an actual road) except you don't have brakes. The following pointers are really more to fill in the gray areas of boat operation that you'll come across at one time or another.
• You are responsible for your own wake and any damage done by it. You're cruising across a channel and you avoid striking a cruiser by swinging into a shallow anchorage while traveling at a pretty good speed. That's great, but look at how much wake you've churned up for the other boaters on the hook. If you've caused boats to bang into each other or knocked someone's grill off their deck or otherwise harmed their property, you're the one on the hook for the damages. Big wakes in crowded spaces is bad news.
• Slow down if another boat is trying to overtake you. This is boating, not The Fast & The Furious. Tight channels, marina entrances, etc. should be single file. But if there's room to pass and another vessel is coming alongside you, ease off the throttle and avoid a drag race. The faster your speed, the faster they'll have to go to get around you. For safety and the serenity of everyone around you, just slow down and let them go around.
• The first one in blazes the path. If you're entering an anchorage, mimic the other boats in how you tie off, how you anchor, how much line to use and how much distance you allow between the other boats.
• Respect your neighbors. If you have a loud boat (kids, music, barking dogs, smoky grills), make sure you leave plenty of space. Sound carries much farther on the water, and you can be heard clearly from a good distance away. Downwind is your friend. You never know who's got an early getaway and is turning in early. Just like on terra firma, respecting your neighbors is the first step toward everyone "getting along."
• Know your ramp manners. If you're launching or retrieving your boat at a ramp, do it efficiently. Load your boat in the parking lot. Pull your boat over to a temporary dock to bring passengers aboard. Don't drain, don't clean, and don't waste time. Everyone wants to be either on the water or off the water, just like you. Think in advance about how you can cut down your ramp time. Delegate responsibilities and practice them before you get to the ramp.
• Move along already! As long as we're on this subject, the same rules go for fuel docks. Get your fuel, pay your bill and move out of the way. If you need to buy groceries or a lake chart or bait, relocate your boat to the temporary docks. Again, fueling is a necessary part of your boating experience, but be considerate of other boaters who would also rather be out on the water.
• Lend a hand. This is one of the unwritten laws that can say more about you as a boater than almost anything else. You should be willing to assist other vessels as they arrive and depart. While this courtesy shouldn't necessarily extend to the entire marina, you should be alert to help out you folks in the adjoining slips. They toss you a line and you hold it or help guide them in. Then you hand them back the line and they tie off. It just takes a minute, and you've shown everyone what a standup boater you are.
• Keep your area tidy. Marinas have enough hazards as it is without having to step over draining coolers, half-deflated tubes and sloppy dock lines. Buckets, shoes, carts and other items need to be stowed properly. And if you've used a piece of equipment intended for common use, put it back where you found it.

Another observation here.
This time on the name Shizuno Takakamo (高鴨 穏乃)
Based on my understanding on the chinese characters in her name (or kanji), the following is what each character meant:
I hope I am onto something here. Inputs/corrections/comments are welcome.
P.S: We all know what Saki means, right? So, the name of the 2nd MC must have some symbolism, right?

Please note that page limits are also partially dependant on the magazine, as a bimonthly release I believe Young Gangan's chapter lengths are probably limited to the same as for weekly mangas, meaning that roughly ~20 pages per issue would be the upper limit. It is unreasonable to compare Saki's per chapter pagecounts with Achiga's, which is a monthly manga.

But if Ritz get someone to help with art work, it is guaranteed that the manga will be released 2 chapters per month like it should be.
- We will have Saki who is blooming on the top of mountain
- We will have Shizu who is looking over that mountain
- We will have Awai who is the star that look at them from space
Now, I wonder how 4th player name will play with this

I doubt either one is a crane. Maybe Himeko and Mairu are children of Childhood friends, who didn't get stay together, then got back together in later life, or they are reincarnated lovers.
2. I could see it happening, but I say wiht sore staying in 500-100 range, and if did happen it would finally force the press in Saki to acknowledge the players who don't have big boobs, look cute or a past champions. Also hopefully it would shut them up about saying smaller prefectures are weak.
Actually its not a bad idea, because Sumire said that Shiraitodai were only going to get serious if there was a chance of them dropping to third and not progressing, in other they don't care if they only place 2nd in this match, they will however apparently rain down destruction in the finals.
Also I can't believe that its been this long and we only now have someone who has an ability connected to ura dora.
Also its more along the lines of Saki and Teru can tell when someone is about to win, while Koromo can sense the value of someones hand.
Except a pro already did break Himeko/Mairu's combination. The day Shindouji had a practice match with a pro, the pro busted every member in the club except Kirame.
I predict Side B will be fleshed out by the end of 2014, and we will learn all of Usuzan's members name by the end of the year.
I get by just by normally keeping my hand closed and calling riichi, only really call when I'm dealer.
Or her ability could be like Touka's where she enters a trance a short while, except unlike Touka, Shizu is willing to except that part of her play style. Also I doubt it works around the nice, because otherwise Shizu's ability would be to unreliant, plus there's only so many times a dice can land on snake eyes before it really does come off as the game was rigged to specifically help Shizu and impede the other players.
Spoiler for Spoiler:
Strong lesbian subtext, that will make any pair of Yuri goggles spontaneously combust? Just kidding. I see the possibility of them at least 2 monsters present, or they have some really strong monster slayers.
I think having Kiyosumi come in 2nd would really help them get away from, completely unbeatable team, plus is also seems that the semi-finals would be a good place for when they really start to feel pushed, what with Satoha actually challenging Yuuki during the east round. Plus please for the love of all things don't skip over Mako's match again Ritz.
This wouldn't be surprising as it seems Hisa didn't let Yuuki bust the school's in the 1st round, told her not to make calls. Also there's her busting 2 schools before Nodoka and Saki could play in the final round.
Shizu "negating" ability doesn't come out frequently, there must be condition to activate that, like getting dice with snake eyes...
If Shizu must get used to her opponent to activating her "imagine breaker", in round 2 Shizu would practically became invincible because all the player already show their playing style. But we know that's not the case. All of them still could use their ability.[/QUOTE]
Actually this could be a case of how often they use their abilities is how long it takes Shizu to stop them, plus Ryuuka's and Himeko's aren't necessarily stoppable. Still it's probably not impossible to stop their abilities, Pretty sure Saki or Teru would be able to fuck with Ryuuka's foresight to a guaranteed win, and break Himeko's key to victory (sorry couldn't resist the pun)
Jindai's a real possibility of being able to stop Awai
Toki may not be able to stop it, just dodge it.
Yes having Awai do that would be really interesting.
On a different note we learned a little about Shiraitodai's inner workings. What I can see is that Teru's team wouldn't have made it as the school's team if Teru wasn't present to get them the huge point jump they. Also I think I can work some of Shiraitodai's strategy, get Teru to get a huge point lead, have Sumire target different schools to increase the gap between them, this allows for Takami to safely use her Harvest Time ability and get her end Yakuman, Have Seiko speed through the vice-captain match before handing it off to Awai, who finishes up the match.
P.S Sorry for the long post, I've been unable to actively take part for a while.

For 高 (Taka), it was rather hard with the amount of information we have. But I think this is referring to mountain, after that last scene with mountain like that. And in mahjong, mountain is known as "wall" as well. I'm inclined to believe Shizu ability is controlling that wall...
That ability related with her "negating" skill too, because if Shizu can control the wall, then Shizu can control which tile the player draw, no matter what supernatural ability they have.
And for your information, dice in mahjong give major factor on the wall arrangement...
For 鴨 (Kamo), that's referring to Shizu character I think

I found an interesting fact, in all of the round before on the captain match, the dice count is between 5-8! Except for the snake eyes of course!
If Shizu ability is based around dices, maybe there is level of power, for example:
- Number 2-4 = Low probability win. This dice make enemy's win rate drop. The fact that Shizu win in 16th round means it affect Shizu's win rate too.
- Number 5-8 = Medium probability win. All player can use their supernatural power.
- Number 9-12 = High probability win. Shizu win rate increase. Like Shizu win in quarterfinal...

First of all, my apologies for bringing my misguided fanboyism to the discussion, but...
"One more game."
"Eh? You mean 11 more games"
Oh, Shizu
On a more serious subject, what the hell does mountain climbing have to do with IB? Or anything? Could it be Shizu's power is just the ability to block plays once she's gotten the hang of everyone's styles? Harue, please provide a full explanation before everything is said and done. Also, I'm very glad she didn't just figured out everything about Awai instantly, that'd have been so anticlimatic.
Also, I think it's great Awai doesn't even register Shizu, definetly a much better way to show Achiga as the underdogs than having their player crying in despair Just you wait, supernova, the name Takakamo Shizuno will be engrave in your mind soon enough. I hope
Come on, Shizu, finish this with a bang!
Also, all my best wishes to Ritz. Get well soon, you magnificent lesbian.

I guess my standard prerequisite for the monster slayer is too high. I stand correct, maybe I should've dropped the "wannabe" part and just labeled Satoha and Kyouko plain "monster slayer" instead since they both probabily accomplished quite a few monster slayings to made it this far into the tournament. However, if one want the title "Monster Slayer King" they have to at least conqour one of the Miyanaga sisters. Yeah, one of them should be enough to earn that title.
P.S. Don't fret about it, just post whenever you have time for it.
P.S.S. The post above me regarding Toki's name, I'm not sure I fully get this, but I believe what Sumeragi is trying to tell you is while toki also means time in Japanese, it's written using a different Chinese character from the one Toki's name is written. Same pronounceation, different meaning I guess.

I don't think Ritz would like anyone to "take over"
It's much like when Hisa say "a win is a win, but what about her pride"
True if Igurashi take over the manga will be out faster and Ritz will have more resting time, but how would Ritz feel?

Now that you mentioned it, I guess that's true in a sense that I would've said no as well if I were the author. Sorry, I'd got a little carried away with the idea which is very inconsiderate of me.
Ah well, let us be patient and wait till Ritz-sensei finally recovers and ready to write again.

Hi, it is my first time posting on this Achiga-hen message board. I have some ideas/predictions about Shizu's power and what is going to happen next chapter, and I would love to gets some reactions/feedback. Here is what I suspect:
1) Shizuno's ability is NOT simply an image breaker. That is only one aspect of Shizuno's power. Her true ability is basically this: the more she plays against an oppenent, the more she can criple that oppent's play. This crippling takes MULTIPLE forms, one of which is "disabling special abilities" (image breaker). Other aspects of her power (once it activates) include "preventing opponents from drawing winning tiles" and "never dealing into oppenent's hand".
Shizuno regards opponents as "mountains" which she slowly climbs, conquers, and completely shuts down.
2) If I am right about the true nature Shizuno's ability, Achiga-hen is going to end in a one-sided massacre. Shizuno is about to become the one of the most overpowered players in the Saki universe while the other schools struggle desperately for second place.
Clues about Shizuno's power/ability:
Clue #1) Shizuno disables Awai's ability (everyone noticed this one)
So Shizuno seems "to be able to disable opponents abilities".
Clue #2) The unatural lack of tsumos in the second hanchan
In the first ten hands of the final round, there were six Rons (60%) and four Tsumos (40%). What is more, these Tsumos are evenly distributed throughout the ten games.
Then Shizuno activates her ability., and we get six straight games without any tsumos.
This strongly suggest that, once Shizuno's ability activates, she can "prevent opponents from drawing winning tiles". (By the way , the "prevent opponents from drawing winning tiles" would also prevent Koromo's Haitei Raoyue)
Clue #3) Shizuno's complete lack of damage in second hanchan
In the first ten hands of the final round, Shizuno loss points in 50% of the hands (four Tsumos and one Ron). Then Shizuno activates her ability, and avoids all damage in the next six hands.
This suggest that, once her ability is activate, Shizuno can "avoid dealing into opponents hands". (Combined with the lack of Tsumos, this makes Shizuno is immune to all damage.)
Clue #4) Shizuno's ability seems to take time to go into full effect.
Going by what happened to Koromo and what is happening in the current match, Shizuno needs to play her opponents many times before her ability activates, and then that ability gets stronger as time goes on. So Shizuno should be at her strongest at the end of the second hanchan (which is why I suspect that Achiga-hen will end with a one-sided massacre)
Clue #5) Koromo suggests that Shizuno has monstrous potential (everyone noticed this one too)
When Koromo played Shizuno two months ago, she "could already see a spark".
This suggest that Shizuno's ability was rough/developing when she played Koromo.
"the second time around, I couldn't manage any haitei"
So When Shizuno played Koromo and prevented her from getting Haitei Raoyue, her ability was still in rough/developing stage. Now, if Shizuno's incomplete ability is that powerful, what is the real thing is like?
Clue #5) The mountain climbing imagery
When Shizuno first activates her power, there is a flash of Shizuno standing on a mountain.
Shizu's coach "Do you think you can conquer those three mountains?"
Chapter 19 ends with the imagery of Shizu standing on top of a mountain thinking "I've got an excellent view!"
So in summary:
A) Shizuno's opponents are "mountains" she must conquer.
B) As Shizu conquers said montains (opponents), she can criple their play in multiple ways ("disabling abilities", "preventing them from drawing winning tiles", "never dealing into their hands. ", etc)
C) Shizu is now standing on top of said mountains (opponents) thinking "I've got an excellent view!"
To me, this looks like a one-sided massacre waiting to happen.
Three other things to note:
1) Shizu's ability might be limited to "mountains" (monstrous players with special abilities), making her the ultimate giant-killer.
2) Shizuno is the main character (Saki's equivalent in Achiga-hen). It would be weird if she didn't turn out to be an over-powered monster.
3) Plot-wise, a Shizu one-sided massacre would give Shiraitodai a reason to rearrange their lineup. So the final round of the finals might be Shizuno, Teru, Saki, and some other monster.

The fact that Maho can use abilities of people who're nearby, and not just her opponents, opens up a lot of possibilities if she ever gets better at mahjong... Imagine her channeling Kokaji-pro for a hand, if her copy ability "range" gets beyond line-of-sight/room, to say people on the same floor/building/conference centre, LOL. Maybe Kainou-pro has the professional level version of this skill?

We are an indie gaming company based in the UK. We are currently in the development stage of our first major release.
This job was posted over 30 days ago. This means the position is now most likely filled & no longer available.
Artists located Anywhere.
Posted by Sector7Games on
I am Josh Gallagher the Founder of Sector7Games. I set this company up in September and we started our game Dead Inisde soon after, for the last couple of months me and my team have been working very hard to bring our game together and produce AAA game quality game play and models.
Our current game in development is Dead Inside and we are not far off alpha, the main outline of the story is: 'The game is based on the idea that the protagonist and his family have been trying to survive for a number of weeks amongst an undead society. In the beginning of the game, the protagonist leaves his family to look for supplies which are already scarce. As he returns home, he finds his wife and daughter's bodies, still on the floor, surrounded in blood with unbelievable flesh wounds to their necks and wrists. At that moment, a news bulletin from the government warns all survivors to be cautious around any dead bodies, and if safe, dismember the head from the neck, severing all nerves.
The protagonist sees that there is no other option than to destroy his families bodies.
After this, he stocks up on weapons and prepares for war.'
That is the main outline of the story but we will further elaborate on it. The game modes that we will incorporate will be Single player (Survival Mode), Multiplayer (Online Survival) and also available in first and third person views.
We are looking for an animator/rigger who is confident that he/she can produce great content,we are looking for these skills:
Can rig accurately
Can animate to a good standard
Also you will need:
Dedicate at least 5 hours a week to this project
Have a skype account
Get on in a working environment
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Send an email telling us about yourself to: email@example.com

In some ways, Oliver Bohac-Datz is a kid through and through.
His mom is the center of his universe, and Godzilla's exploits can dominate his conversations.
But Saturday reinforced that the 11-year-old from Batavia is no run-of-the-mill fifth-grader. Running alongside his mother, Oliver completed the Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon in Champaign-Urbana, a race that finished at the University of Illinois' Memorial Stadium.
"We had to tell each other to quit crying because we can't run and cry at the same time, but we were both kind of overwhelmed with emotion [at the end]," said Amy Bohac-Datz, Oliver's mother. "I was just so proud of him and I think he was so proud of himself. It was really emotional at that point."
Holding hands with his mother for the final quarter-mile, Oliver completed the marathon in 4:55.02. He became the first exception in the event's six-year history to the policy of marathoners needing to be at least 17 years old, according to race director Jan Seeley.
While Oliver dedicated each of the 26 miles to a someone influential in his life – ranging from family members to a teacher to noted U.S. ultramarathoner Scott Jurek – it's clear who was Oliver's primary inspiration, and not just because his mom popped one of the painful blisters that developed on his feet during the race.
"When you spend almost five hours with her, it's hard not to like her," Oliver said, showcasing a sense of humor that also ranges beyond his years. "She's always just nice, trying to pull me through harder runs like she did Saturday. It's definitely something that brings us closer together, and when you cross that finish line after so long, it's really some sort of amazing thing, almost a miracle, that you were able to do that."
Despite adhering to the grueling marathon training regimen, Amy Bohac-Datz said Saturday's run was even more demanding than her son anticipated.
"Running those extra five miles [compared to a training run] really took a lot mentally out of him to push through the race," she said. "I think he mentally had a struggle for about five miles between 16 and 21 where I don't think he would have dropped out of the race, but he was kind of feeling 'Oh my gosh, this is a lot harder than I thought it was going to be.' I'm not sure what pushed him through the mental hurdles at Mile 21 but he was really excited for the finish line. Something happened at Mile 21 in his head where he was like 'I can do this.' "
Oliver's interest in long-distance running blossomed after he ran the last eight miles of a marathon in Lincolnshire in 2012 with his mom. He began training with her as part of multiple local running groups and ran four half-marathons – including one in Batavia – before finishing Saturday's marathon in Champaign.
The Champaign race came about because Amy Bohac-Datz planned to run it last year but had her registration pushed back a year because of her pregnancy. She also thought the extra fanfare and hoopla of completing the race at Memorial Stadium might provided extra fuel for Oliver.
Oliver's father – Eric Datz – is outdoorsy but does not like to run. "He tells us 'If I was on fire, I'd walk to the hose,' " Amy Bohac-Datz said.
So dad spent Saturday performing his own task with a high degree of difficulty – corralling 2-year-old Charlie and 6-month-old Wally while locating Oliver and Amy at five different points along the course to shout encouragement.
Both of Oliver's parents come from scientific backgrounds and refute the notion that it is unsafe for children to attempt marathons until they are fully grown. Many races, including the St. Charles-based Fox Valley Marathon, have policies against runners younger than age 18 competing for liability reasons.
Oliver required physical therapy last year after experiencing Achilles tendinitis but said he's in far better shape than he was then.
That conditioning will be tested again next month. Oliver and his mom are planning to participate in the Tryon Farm Trail 50K run – just more than 31 miles – in Michigan City, Ind.
"For the marathon, he was trying not to stop and walk at all," Amy Bohac-Datz said. "For this ultrarace, with the uphill, we're going to walk. … So I think it'll be a lot less stressful on his legs. I know we're going a farther distance but I think it'll be a lit more leisurely."
As is often the case for marathoners, much of Oliver's affirmation has been internal, but Saturday's marathon included adulation on both the front and back ends. His parents presented him with dozens of letters of encouragement the night before the race, and Monday at Alice Gustafson Elementary School in Batavia, Oliver said there was "an uproar" when his achievement was saluted over morning announcements.
While his mother said Oliver has been "more of an academic kid" than an athlete during his youth, he is interested in trying tennis, wrestling, and, yes, cross country, in the coming years.
"What they call long distance running is definitely not what I do," Oliver said, musing about the prospect of running cross country when he hits Rotolo Middle School. "They run three miles at most. I usually run about five to 10 a day, so that's more just an extra thing to meet up with a group and be able to run with them."
Being just one of the boys, after all, remains in Oliver's repertoire.

Elemmakil was a Noldorin Elf, the captain of those who guarded the outer entranceway to Gondolin. The secret path to that great city led through a cavern in the wall of a Dry River to the Gate of Wood, the first of the Seven Gates of Gondolin. It was this gate that Elemmakil and his men guarded, and it was here that he encountered Tuor and Voronwë, journeying to Gondolin at the command of Ulmo. Elemmakil was their guide through the Seven Gates that guarded the Orfalch Echor, until he gave them into the keeping of his own captain, the Warden of the Great Gate, Ecthelion of the Fountain.

Michael Rocco has started 17 consecutive games at quarterback for Virginia, the Cavaliers' longest streak at the position since Jameel Sewell's 22-game reign in 2004 and '05. The issue is whether Rocco should see 18.
Virginia has lost two straight games, Rocco is struggling, and backup Phillip Sims is enticing. So what should coach Mike London and offensive coordinator Bill Lazor do Saturday when the Cavaliers (2-2) host defending Western Athletic Conference champion Louisiana Tech (3-0)?
From the outside, the timing seems right for a change. A non-conference home game against a suspect defense — the Bulldogs are allowing 36.7 points per game, 111th nationally — is about as comfortable a starting debut as a coach could offer a quarterback.
And there will be no other similar opportunities. Following Louisiana Tech, Virginia closes with seven ACC games, none layups given the apparent progress at Duke and Maryland.
Moreover, Rocco ranks last among the conference's starting quarterbacks, a group that includes Maryland true freshman Perry Hills, in pass efficiency and is the only one with more interceptions (five) than touchdown passes (four).
Not coincidentally, the Cavaliers are reeling from back-to-back hammerings, 56-20 at Georgia Tech and 27-7 at Texas Christian.
Why, if not for Penn State's four missed field goals — Virginia escaped that afternoon 17-16 — the Cavaliers would be 1-3 and in full-blown crisis.
Miscues by receivers and linemen have made Rocco's life more difficult, but as he well knows, when the offense goes south — Virginia ranks 98th nationally and 11th among 12 ACC teams in scoring at 21.8 points per game — the quarterback shoulders the blame.
None of which means I'm pound-the-pulpit convinced Rocco should sit Saturday. Two reasons:
* For all his high school credentials and Alabama pedigree, Sims' limited relief appearances have been less than inspiring.
* London, Lazor and the players are the best judges of whether Sims' practice performance and playbook knowledge merit him starting.
True to coaching protocol, London revealed little at his Monday news conference.
"Nothing has changed as far as our approach going into this game," he said when asked who would start. "Practice, the way we practice, how we handle the game plans, that will all be evaluated. So not only the quarterback position, but there's other positions that have to do well, play well and eliminate some of the mistakes and errors. So we are looking forward to this game, this opportunity, and we'll see."
We'll see. That's how my dad often ducked me on matters of similarly great import, such as: Can I have the car Friday night? Do I really have to eat ALL the peas on my plate?
But this is what happens when you not only accept a renowned transfer from the defending national champion, but also help him gain an NCAA waiver for immediate eligibility. Not to suggest that London should have said "no thanks" to Sims' inquiries.
Rocco's above-average performance in helping the Cavaliers reach last season's Chick-fil-A Bowl notwithstanding, Sims' resume virtually demanded attention. He set a Virginia high school record for career passing yards and led Oscar Smith to a 2008 state championship.
London and Lazor chose wisely in sticking with the incumbent to start the season. Rocco earned that. But only borderline perfection on an imperfect team was going to prevent the inevitable questions about Sims, who certainly didn't leave Alabama, where he was AJ McCarron's understudy, to assume the No. 2 role at Virginia.
The questions started when London benched Rocco for two second-half series against Penn State. When the Cavaliers went three-and-out and Sims lost a fumble, Rocco returned.
As Virginia learned in defeat last year against North Carolina State with Rocco and David Watford, shuffling quarterbacks during a game is risky if not untenable. So is routinely swapping starters.
If London and Lazor turn to Sims, they'd best stick by him.

Here's a link to my Daily Press print columns.
An update from Wednesday's ACC coaches teleconference:
"Michael will have the opportunity to play and start this game," London said, "and hopefully there's an opportunity to get Phillip in the game. But I don't want players looking over their shoulder worrying about whether this guy's coming in. ... Both players right now are having a good week of practice."

The trouble with Blogs and many on-line resources... I have found that I can go on-line and find many... too many... resources that cover nearly any topic of interest to me. However, often I can read 10 or more sources and never learn much of anything beyond what I learned from the first two or three sources. This on-line chatter tends to hover on the surface of the topic and I struggle to find reliable resources that get into enough depth to actually help be get past the basics.I am not sure where this commentator is looking. But there does seem to be some confusion about the nature of the "on-line" resources. It isn't clear if the comment is directed at research into particular ancestral lines or merely the need for general information about genealogy. If the comment goes to the issue of "news" such as the introduction of a new genealogy program or expansion of a website. It is true that the comments may be superficial and repetitive, but there is no need to read more than one of the "news" category of post and in most cases, the headline or title alone suffices for the information conveyed. It is true, anyone can spend an inordinate amount of time reading the same reports over and again, but why would you choose to do so?
Today for example, I received an email notice from a major online subscription service announcing the acquisition of millions of new records. Within a few hours, the story had been repeated by a number of the bloggers in posts. If I read the original press release, unless there was something in the posts that was different, I can simply ignore all of the other repetitions. This is one of the main reasons for using an aggregator program such as Feedly.com. I can view the blog posts and other website updates in a news stream format and decide rather quickly whether to look further at an article or post. I guess I am puzzled as to why someone would read the same comments 10 or more times?
Blogs act as the "news reporters" for the genealogical community. Their function is similar to the local newspapers and magazines of the past. If you look at Google News on any given day, for example, you will find a breaking news story that will be picked up by dozens, perhaps hundreds, of local news outlets and repeated with little change or commentary. The same thing happens, only more so, with broadcast news services. Personally, I have almost entirely stopped listening to or watching any form of broadcast news. The reason is simple. It is lineal. If I want to know what the traffic or weather will be in my community and I resort to the TV, I have to watch a half hour or so of mindless chatter and commercials to get the one or two items I am truly interested in. In consequence, I have gone almost entirely to online individual news sources.
Perhaps if the commentator is caught up in superficiality and he or she needs to focus more on limiting the amount of time spent on any repetitious topic. Most of the news is simply not informative and lacks relevance to anything going on in my life. Focusing on a topic requires levels of filtering, whether you are talking about news in general or specifically about genealogy. What this means is that news is news, not in-depth research. If you find a topic of interest mentioned in the news, you will likely have to go beyond the posts and articles to find more information.
Perhaps and example from a recent topic would be helpful to illustrate the point. In looking at the stream of topics, I see several posts entitled, "Findmypast.com Adds 23 Million Records and 121 Million Newspaper Pages From Around the World." OK, the title tells me about all I need to know right now about that topic. But if I were doing research on the findmypast.com website, I might want to read further and see if the new records were helpful to my current research needs. In fact, rather than read the article, I would probably go directly to findmypast.com and look at exactly which records and time periods are covered by the new acquisitions.
The blog post articles from the press release serve a valuable function of calling my attention. But whether or not I follow up on the article is entirely up to my current research needs. In my reader, after noting the first post, I would simply mark as read everything else pertaining to the story.
I receive the same comments about my blog posts. Last night, someone commented that they read my blog regularly, but said, "You write way too much for me to read everything." Yes, that is what happens in the news and comment world. There is way too much to read everything, so we have to use the tools we have, such as readers or aggregators, to cut through the haze and focus.

As the Canon top-of-the-line flash for the EOS-system, the Speedlite 580EX II takes the best features from existing models and adds functionality that enhances digital photography. A more powerful flash with a maximum guide number of 190' (58 m) at ISO 100 (at 105mm focal length), faster recycling, more consistent color and enhanced controls are among the improvements that all photographers, especially those who shoot digital, will find useful.
The 580EX version II offers several improvements over the original 580EX version. It has been redesigned to match with the EOS-1D Mark III in terms of improved dust- and water-resistance, body strength, and the ability to control flash functions and settings from the camera menu (EOS-1D Mark III only). Other features include improved communication reliability through its direct contacts, a metal hot shoe, and recycling time is both 20% shorter than the 580EX and is completely inaudible.
The flash supports all current versions of TTL, including evaluative E-TTL II. This is great for photographers that shoot high contrast or reflective subjects, like those encountered in wedding photography. Photographers can now capture every detail from the black of tuxedos to the white of wide smiles and wedding dresses.

Advertising Execs Slowly Reaching Obvious Conclusion: Ads Are Content Too
from the hey,-look-at-that! dept
Part of the economic we make here is that the nature of content as a digital good means that it's going to move towards free in an open marketplace. However, that isn't a bad thing, because "free" content can be used in good ways - as promotional material for something else. The argument goes both ways - promotional materials should be looked at as content, too. Unfortunately, too many people seem to think they're different - that somehow content that is produced for promotional purposes is somehow "less" than other content. That sort of thinking leads to (a) people trying to lock up their "good" content and (b) people producing really bad promotional content that tends to annoy people more than make them interested in whatever is being promoted. We've argued this before in reference to TV commercials. It seemed like too many executives (such as those who claimed that not watching commercials was "stealing") seemed to think that forcing people to watch bad content was the only way to produce good content. This is, of course, not true - which has been shown by the likes of Honda and BMW with the advertising they created that people actively seek out (not to mention the whole damn Super Bowl commercial watching phenomenon). It appears that finally some advertising and broadcasting execs are understanding this message. NBC is going to start airing mini-movies during commercial breaks. Some of these really are still commercials - but they're actually designed (what a concept!) to be entertaining. Others, though, are more traditional programming content - but designed to fill 30 second spots, and use cliff-hanger endings to get you to want to see the next one. Basically, they're hoping to provide content that is worth watching, so you don't just TiVo through all the commercials (or worse, change channels). Should be interesting to see how this experiment goes.

Woods blows away field for 8-shot victory at Firestone
Published: August 05, 2007
AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Tiger Woods looked as unbeatable as ever Sunday at Firestone.
Woods erased a one-shot deficit in two holes, then buried Rory Sabbatini and the rest of the field to win the Bridgestone Invitational for the third straight year and send him to the PGA Championship with his game in good shape.
Woods made a 12-foot par putt on the final hole that kept him bogey-free on a rainy afternoon at Firestone. He closed with a 5-under 65 for an eight-shot victory over Sabbatini and Justin Rose, tying a PGA Tour record for most victories at one golf course.
It was the second time Woods has strung together three straight victories at this World Golf Championship, and he continued his dominance in these WGC events by winning for the 14th time in 25 tries.
Sabbatini shot 74 and was left in his wake again.
The fiery South African also lost a one-shot lead to Woods in the Wachovia Championship, then caused a brief stir by claiming later than Woods looked "beatable as ever."
Not on this course. Woods picked up five shots in a five-hole stretch along the front nine, and it was no contest after that. He joined Jack Nicklaus (Augusta National) and Alex Ross (Pinehurst No. 2) as the only players to win six times on the same course.
Next up is Southern Hills and the PGA Championship for the final major, something Woods has failed to win this year.
Women's British Open=
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) - Splashed with champagne, Lorena Ochoa was certain her first major victory would come at the home of golf.
She completed a runaway four-stroke victory in the Women's British Open following a 1-over-par 74. After hugging her caddie and getting doused with bubbly by her father, the top-ranked Mexican reflected on what she had done.
"It's a long way, 24 majors, and finally I have this (trophy) here, and I think it's for a reason and I couldn't be more happy," she said. "I believed I would win this tournament Monday, when I started practicing.
"I wanted to win this tournament so bad. Everything I did, my thoughts (before the tournament) were very positive and very clear to me. I saw myself on the 18th green, lifting the trophy. It was clear, it was great and even better now that we did it."
Ochoa, who tied for second at the U.S. Women's Open a month ago, had been banging on the door of a major victory for a while. This was her fourth victory of the year to go with the six she collected last year. During those 24 months, she was runner-up 10 times.
"This is the most special round of golf I ever played," said Ochoa, who led the tournament from the ninth hole of her opening-round 67. "Hopefully this is the first of many (majors) to come. It was my time."

Crafting with elements of the outdoors is kind of a no-brainer this time of year when everything is just bursting with color, and with winter fast approaching it's a good way to squeeze every bit of outdoor time out of the fall that you can with the kids!. Trying to build our fall nature table keeps my daughter scurrying in and out of the house as she collects all the leaves, pinecones, and other goodies Mother Nature gives us this time of the year.
The sky is the limit on what kids can come up with, but if you're stumped, here are some easy kid crafts that bring will bring nature inside to your table just in time for Thanksgiving.
Scavenger Hunt -- Build a list of outdoor goodies that will make for a cute table display (think acorns, leaves in various colors, pine cones, odd-shaped rocks, etc.), and let the kids loose in the backyard to collect as many as they can. Then give them a section at the center of the table to put it all together. They'll burn off a lot of energy running around outside trying to find everything on your list, but the real fun is in seeing what they come up with.
Paper Bag Turkeys -- Take the scavenger hunt one step farther, and they can use their outdoor goodies to decorate a turkey centerpiece. Rebekah at The Golden Gleam used the bag to make a body and neck, and the kids worked from there.
Crayon Drip Gourds -- If you have any pumpkins left over from Halloween or some of those cool gourds, heat up the ends of some of the kids' stubby crayons and decorate the fruit with the colored wax like Life With Moore Babies (there are directions over at her blog). The kids will love trying out a crayon craft that has nothing to do with coloring, and they'll make an eye-catching centerpiece!
Coffee Filter Fall Leaves -- If you're not comfortable with scattering real leaves on your table, how about leaves made from coffee filters? Let the kids practice their scissor skills cutting leaf shapes from white filters. Then let them loose with some liquid water colors to see what they come up with (Boy Mama Teacher Mama has some cool examples of the coffee filter leaves to help give your kids ideas). Now scatter across the table!
Pine Cone Gnomes -- What's cuter than a placecard for each guest? A little gnome greeting them by their plate! You'll need to hit the craft store for some felt and some wooden beads, but the kids can gather the pine cones and do a fair amount of the work. We Bloom Here has all the directions for these adorable little creatures, but let your kids' creativity guide you. They may find more outside that you can use like leaves, sticks ...
Do you let the kids help you decorate the table? What does your family do?
