Let's hope the Canucks camp attendees are a lot more excited than this group.
Vancouver Canucks' main training camp opens the weekend. With it, we see the return of past Canucks, current players who've set new standards within the organization, and new young talent looking to claim their place on this year's roster.
So who really has a shot of making the Vancouver Canucks this year?
As we look into the Canucks 2010 training camp roster, we see many familiar faces and fresh ones ready to break through. The full list of camp attendees is shown in the Canucks current roster list here.
Returning to the Fold
The are a couple of surprising additions to the Canucks training camp this year. Former Canucks Brendan Morrison and Peter Schaefer both signed Professional Tryout contracts with the club to appear at training camp. Morrison himself has stated (from an article in the Vancouver Sun) that he is trying out, not to showcase his talents, but to make the club which he feels has a real shot at winning the Stanley Cup. Scheafer has not publicly stated what his goals were in attending the Canucks camp, but by all reports (ex. the Globe & Mail), he wasn't exactly getting offers from left and right. Morrison has a much better shot at making the club this year, although he would have to be willing to take a pretty sizable pay cut, given the Canucks need to squeeze in players under the cap. If he does make the club, I suspect Morrison would indeed take a smaller paycheque. He wants to win a Cup, and he knows that Vancouver has one of the best teams in the league. Unfortunately for Schaefer, I don't see him having much more to offer to the Canucks that they don't already have in spades, but younger and cheaper.
Improving on Near-Perfection
How the hell do you improve on a season where you won the Hart and the Art Ross? How do you improve on your greatest statistical season yet? The Sedins are faced with that dilemma. Honestly, how could they improve? They finished at the top of the league in almost every offensive statistical category the NHL has. Daniel's only drawback was being hurt, but his per-game totals were in the top 3 in the league.
Henrik will once again be without one of his top linemates for a significant stretch as Alex Burrows misses the start of the campaign recovering from shoulder surgery. But Daniel and Henrik will find that old spark, we're sure. And no matter who their temporary linemate is, they'll create some magic. Is it really necessary for either of them to improve on last season? Yes, in the post season. They couldn't do much more in the regular season. But as the Canucks enter the playoffs this year, the Sedins need to dig deeper and start dominating as they do in game #22, #62 or #82.
The Sedins have done what they need to do in the regular season. They need to focus ALL of their energy on putting this team on their backs once the playoffs start. Canucks fans need to see the Sedins play beyond the second round, and they need to see Henrik and Daniel truly lead the Canucks to a Cup. THAT'S how you improve on last year.
Breaking Through
The Canucks have a LOT of young talent trying out this year. A LOT. They have 20 skaters entering camp who have either never played in the NHL or have played less than 10 games total. By all accounts, the Canucks really only have 4 permanent roster spots up for grabs (5, if you could Burrows' spot, which he will reclaim sometime in November). The 4 places being contested would be the three 4th line spots, as well as the 3rd line RW spot. Some feel that even that 3rd line RW spot is Jannik Hansen's to lose, but Hansen just hasn't taken that noticeable leap into NHL calibre play yet.
Does Jordan Schroeder have enough in him to take a spot on the top 2 lines, while Burrows heals? What about Cody Hodgson? Has his back healed sufficiently to allow him to play to the best of his ability? Will it be good enough to land him a roster spot? What about new signings like Tambellini and Oreskovich? Will they make up the 4th line?
I think that Schroeder will battle it out with Brendan Morrison for that temporary opening while Burrows is out. Once Burrows returns, Schroeder would be sent to Manitoba, and Morrison could move down to the 3rd or 4th line. I do not think that Hodgson is making the team this year. He needs a year of pro play in the AHL to get his game back after missing such a significant amount of time. The 4th line will be hotly contested. The staff seems to really like Tanner Glass, so I would see him on the 4th line, joined by Oreskovich. That last spot is too hard to call, so we'll wait to see who emerges from training camp to claim that last spot. Given a draw, it would likely be a returning vet such as Rypien who keeps that last spot.
As for the defense, there is just too much depth and too many bodies there already for any of the rookies to have a real chance of making the team. Their time will come mid-season, when someone goes down to injury or Gillis pulls the trigger on a trade. But don't count on seeing Connauton or Tanev or Oberg or any of the others much past October 1st.
Sitting on the Sidelines
The Canucks and General Manager Mike Gillis had some interesting problems as the summer ended. First, while Gillis was madly acquiring talent, he was pushing his team closer to the brink of the salary cap, and finally over the limit. Meanwhile, Alex Burrows has off-season shoulder surgery and will miss the first month of the year. Then we learned that Sami Salo was injured, tearing his Achilles tendon and will be out for at least the first 5 months of the season. All this while Canuckland is going crazy to trade Kevin Bieksa in order to make room under the salary cap.
With all this said and done, it looks as though the Canucks may not have to trade Bieksa (or anyone for that matter) in order to fit under the salary cap.With cap relief coming with the absences of both Salo and Burrows, the Canucks appear to be very tight to the limit without actually exceeding it.
So what goes through the mind of Burrows and Salo as they sit sidelined, watchhing the goings-on of training camp? Burrows will return first, well ahead of Salo, and will miss around 15 games. His tenacity and energy will be missed, but he'll have to time to regain his form as the season progresses. As for Salo, I honestly hope he simply retires. Not for the cap relief or anything GM-related. For the simple fact, that the poor man is broken and fragile. He is one of the most injury prone professional athletes I have EVER seen. Between bad luck, bad bounces, and just bad injuries, Salo is aging and will have a hard time recovering from this latest setback.
Who takes the mantle this year? Do we see Schroeder or Hodgson crack the lineup for October 9th? Do one of the old soldiers returning to home base have a chance of seeing time on the front lines?
We'll see as we start the real push for real hockey in real short order.

I'm looking at a letter from a company called "ILSCORP.NET". It is in reference to another domain name that Webmail.us owns. The notice date is February 15th, 2005. I have a customer number of CD474454XX.
"Please make checks payable to Internet Listing Service Corp. Please write your customer number on the front of your check Enclose check in the addressed envelope provided DO NOT SEND CASH"
Pretty serious stuff here, it goes on:
"To ensure listing by Feb 28, 2005, please remit payment on or before Feb 22, 2005 All listings are final"
Well, I'd better get right on this! But then there's the text on the back that says, "This is not a bill. This is a solicitation. You are under no obligation to pay the amount stated above unless you accept this offer."
It's too bad that the rest of the document makes it look like we owe someone money to continue a service that we already had.
It's always in the fine print
OK, the print is pretty legible, but it is clearly a font size or two down from the rest of the doc. And it's on the back page when the front page already looks like a complete document.
The art of deception
There are a few subtle but convincing touches that scams such as this use to close deals and make money.
-- They use real information about you or your company --
In this case, they used our domain name. If you own a domain name then the billing address for your company and the names of contacts at your company are available through a standard Internet service known as WHOIS. Using this information allows them to customize their attack.
-- They create the impression that you are already a customer --
The customer number at the top of the "bill" seems legit. If I have a customer number, maybe I really did send these people money before.
The solicitation itself appears to be a bill. It has 3 major sections: "How to make payment:", "Website address listing includes:", and "Payment information:". It shows me how much to pay and where to send my check—but, "Do not send cash".
-- They create a sense of urgency --
Because "All listings are final", I need to hurry and send them a check. They give me a due date of Feb 22. This sense of urgency might get me to respond before I look things over carefully.
-- Online risks --
It seems that being a domain name owner makes you a target for this and related scams. Having your WHOIS information freely available to the entire world is a double-edged sword.
And the more we all do business online, the harder it is to remember the names of businesses we use on an infrequent basis. It's easy to make a mistake.
Other common scams to watch out for
Domain name slamming: you get an email or a letter telling you that your domain name will expire soon. The letter explains that in order to protect your domain name a check needs to be sent to company XYZ who can keep your domain name safe. The problem is that the letter doesn't come from the company you used to register your domain.
Phishing: you get an email asking you to go to your bank or online retail store in order to update your contact information or to check on an order. The only problem is, that the links provided in the email don't go to Amazon.com or whatever site you intended to visit. Instead, you end up at a site that closely mimics the real site and you might mistakenly hand over a username and password or perhaps even credit card information.
Nigerian email scam: this is an absolute classic. Read about it on Snopes.com. If you'll front some money to a wealthy but helpless stranger, they'll send you millions.
How to protect yourself
Keep good records! Knowing whether or not something is legit can be as easy as walking to a file cabinet and looking for a name that matches the letter or email you have received. Congress, with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, is encouraging (enforcing?) record-keeping policies for businesses in the United States.
Pick up the phone and make a call. Or send an email. ILSCorp's letter to me and their website are both lacking a phone number-- a red flag in itself. Their website says I may have to wait up to 2 days for a response to the email I sent them this morning asking about their service and my domain name. I'll let you know when they get back with me. ;)
Email scams can generally be caught by good anti-spam filters. Yes, like the ones we use for our customers. But I don't know a good way to filter snail mail except through a little extra time and attention to detail.
And, as always: if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Italy\'s polls close after a day-and-a-half of voting at around 9 a.m. Eastern, leaving traders in Europe and the U.S. plenty of time to digest the first round of exit polls in a battle that could put the euro-zone debt crisis back on the market\'s radar screen. See The Wall Street Journal\'s streaming coverage of the Italian election.
Unfortunately for would-be prognosticators, Italian politics can make the U.S. Electoral College look straightforward.
Count Goldman Sachs strategists among the numerous research houses hoping to make sense of the possible outcomes for investors, focusing on the potential impact of three different scenarios on the euro-zone government bond markets.
Needless to say, a result that threatens to put former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi back in close proximity to power might be enough to give markets a fright. Berlusconi has attacked not only technocratic Prime Minister Mario Monti\'s unpopular tax hikes, but he\'s mocked the very notion that the sharp fall in Italy\'s borrowing costs was a laudable development.
Instead he\'s claimed that the widening of the spread between German and Italian bond yields that preceded his fall from power in November 2011 was a \"criminal\" endeavor used to engineer his ouster.
Here\'s how Goldman strategists Francesco Garzarelli and Silvia Ardagna see the potential outcomes and their implications:
Center-left victory
Like most strategists, Goldman sees a center-left coalition government with Democratic Party leader Pier Luigi Bersani\'s coalition winning an absolute majority in the lower house and a relative majority in the upper house the most likely outcome. That would rely on technocratic Prime Minister Mario Monti\'s new party to form a center-left government.
That would likely be bullish news for Italian government bonds, Goldman argues, with yields falling across the curve while the spread between 10-year Italian bonds and German government bunds would likley fall by half to three-quarters of a percentage point.
\'Hung\' parliament
But don\'t get too relaxed. A \"hung parliament\" in which no party wins a clear majority is almost as likely as a center-left win, they argue. That would result if either Berlusconi or former comedian Beppe Grillo\'s anti-euro and anti-austerity 5-star Movement make a stronger-than-expected showing, leaving Bersani and Monti without enough seats to form a coalition government.
If that happens, there would be two alternatives, Goldman says: 1) a \"Government of National Unity.\" It\'s possible such a government could be led by Monti, but would likley be \"highly unstable\" and would hold a short-term mandate of just one to two years, Goldman said.
That would make for \"very nervous\" markets as investors awaited the outcome of negotiations. Spreads would likely widen, with BTPs eventually stabilizing around current levels, they said.
The second option would be fresh general elections, which would probably hammer Italian bonds and potentially push yield spreads back to crisis levels seen in November 2011, when investors demanded a premium of 5.5 percentage points to hold 10-year Italian bonds over German bunds.
Berlusconi victory
A scenario in which Berlusconi\'s center-right coalition wins an outright majority in the lower house and a relative majority in the upper house is seen as unlikely but can\'t be ruled out.
If that were to happen, Berlusconi could end up allying with Monti, Goldman said. That would provide the country with a stable government, but it would be \"highly unclear\" who would be part of it, they said.
Markets, meanwhile, would read the outcome as leading to a strained relationship between Rome and its euro-zone partners, with Berlusconi looking to water down Monti\'s past deficit-reduction efforts.
That would likely make for a selloff across the Italian bond curve, while spreads between Italian and German yields would widen until investors had a better grip on domestic policy and relations between Italy and the rest of the euro zone.

Bank of America/Merrill Lynch last month reinstated its coverage of Tesla Motors with a "neutral" rating and a target price of $33. Earlier this week, Morgan Stanley raised its rating from "underweight" to "overweight" and increased its target price to $50 from $45.
Both reports included a fundamental financial modeling error that overestimates Tesla's year-end cash position by roughly 200 percent.

You know how sometimes you just want a cupcake RIGHT NOW, and then you cry because it is 3am? (Don't pretend this has never happened to you).
The genius people over at Sprinkles Cupcakes in LA have come to the rescue with their Cupcake ATM, ready and willing to dispense delicious baked goods at any hour.
We just happened to be in LA over the weekend for a wedding, so we took some friends with us on our late night adventure and visited the famed ATM.
Its pretty fun to pick your cupcake, and then watch a live video of a robot arm going and picking your cupcake up and delivering it to you with a satisfying whir of technology.
We may have gotten a little carried away.
I made Derek carry all the cupcakes to look like the cupcake hoarder in front of the long line still waiting to get their cupcakes. This is also how we discovered that even if you drop these cute little boxes, they are so well engineered that the cupcakes remain unscathed and upright.
Since the ATM just opened this month, the line was still a little long to get our cupcakes. In fact, I probably could have baked an entire batch of cupcakes at home in the time it took me to stand in line to get one from the ATM, but then I wouldn't have felt like I was eating a cupcake from the future.

Cows prepared for a long, hard winter in OEMN Maramures
Posted on 16 October 2008
Work is almost complete on the winter shelter for nature-conserving cows, built by OEMN partners high up on the Maramures plateau above Baia Mare. This means that for the first time, the semi-wild herd will be able to spend the winter in natural conditions rather than boxed into sheds down in the nearby villages.Work is almost complete on the picturesque winter shelter for nature-conserving cows, built by OEMN partners at Rachita meadow, high up on the Maramures plateau above Baia Mare. This means that for the first time, the semi-wild herd will be able to spend the winter in natural conditions rather than boxed into sheds down in the nearby villages.
The shelter, which cost almost 80,000 Euros and which conforms to all ecological and nature conservation regulations and best practices, allows free access in and out for animals, meaning that they will only go in when the winter bites hardest. With temperatures sometimes dropping to -25 C, huddling together under the stone and wood structure will keep the animals alive as well as enhancing social interactions between the members of the herd.
"Last year, we had to bring the animals down because they had only recently be re-introduced into nature, and because the winter shed was not even started" explained Edit Pop, the WWF project manager for the initiative. "But when we tried, the lead females of the herd clearly did not want to leave the mountain pastures, and they turned back. Even with 5 men and 2 dogs, it was impossible to persuade them to swap their new home - natural habitat – for the lowlands. We had to leave them there and try again another day."
The structure is designed to also accomodate humans: tourists can sleep in rooms located above the animal shelter, making a novel alternative to the nearby wooden cabana, which has already been intensively used by paying guests despite only opening for business in June. "People like to come and see the meadows, the cows, and the landscape" says Rodica Tiplea, who runs the business with her husband and other family members from the nearby village of Ocna Sugatag. "And we like to show them. The accomodation is made of traditional materials, furnished with local handicrafts, and everyone seems to enjoy the naturally-produced food and drink which we offer". With foreign tourists already having visited from as far away as USA, UK, Canada, Sweden, Austria, Estonia, and Hungary, the Tiplea family is confident they will soon re-coup the investments they have made, and start to turn a profit.
Benefits for local people, benefits for nature, and benefits for business. These three features are typical of OEMN projects such as this one. Benefits for cows, who clearly enjoy their open-air lifestyle, are an added bonus.
Contact WWF for more details on how to replicate this project ..... and visit www.rmt.ro to see and book accomodation on the plateau.

Liverpool midfielder Nuri Sahin is reportedly hoping to end his loan spell at Anfield during the January transfer window in order to play more first-team football elsewhere.
Sahin joined Liverpool ahead of Arsenal during the summer transfer window on a season-long loan from Real Madrid but, reports the Daily Express, is looking to move on only halfway through the season.
Liverpool strived desperately to land the 24-year-old during the summer and managed to beat Arsenal to his signature, despite Sahin reportedly passing a medical with the Gunners.
The Turkey international impressed for Liverpool at the beginning of the campaign but has not played in the Premier League since November, with Brendan Rodgers now seemingly favouring starting with fit again Lucas Leiva.
Sahin, it is reported, now hopes to leave Anfield before the end of January, with both Fulham and former club Borussia Dortmund interested in taking him loan for the remainder of the season.

A rainy day in Valley Stream turned out to be a ray of sunshine for long-time resident SallyAnn Esposito. The chain of events after a 2011 flood damaged the Hendrickson Park administration building eventually led to her getting her dream job.
It was a job that didn't even exist until a few months ago. Esposito is the manager of the new Valley Stream Community Center, which re-opened last summer after about a year of renovations.
"The Community Center, exactly what it's named, is to bring the community together," she said.
As the administration building, it used to house offices for the village Recreation Department, and was where residents would go to sign up for park or pool memberships. That all ended on Aug. 14, 2011, when several inches of rain fell on Valley Stream in a matter of hours. The lake at Hendrickson Park overflowed and the nearby administration building filled with three feet of water.
The floors, walls, furniture and electrical system were damaged, files and supplies destroyed and mold infiltrated the building. The Recreation Department's offices were permanently moved to the Firemen's Field Clubhouse. Mayor Ed Fare and the village Board of Trustees decided to repurpose the administration building, and the idea for the Community Center was born.
Village officials decided they needed somebody to manage the building, and received 12 applicants for Community Center manager. Of those, eight were interviewed and Esposito, who has a background in both marketing and government, was chosen. Her first day on the job was Dec. 10.
Esposito recalls seeing the job posting at the library one afternoon. "I jumped on it," she said.
She left her position with the Nassau County Department of Health, where she managed permits and contracts, to work for Valley Stream, her hometown. Esposito moved to the community when she was 3½ years old, and graduated from Central High School in 1980, where her fellow classmates included Fare.

Isaan in Hollywood: Krua Siri
But those massive crowds only last a few weeks, and the publicity and attention can have many good sides as well (aside from the obvious benefit to the restaurant). A couple of months ago, the excellent Thi Nguyen reviewed a new discovery: Krua Siri in Thai Town. The review told the all too familiar story of a restaurant with a bland, Chinese-Thai menu, but a host of off menu (or Thai menu only) specialties from the northern, Isaan region of Thailand.
Fast forward two months, and the back page of Krua Siri's menu is dedicated to a list of recommended dishes, which lists everything mentioned in Nguyen's article (which is also printed on the cover of the menu, for good measure).
While the menu has changed, the food is as good as it was when Nguyen reviewed it. Thai sausages are just a tad acidic and do well rolled in lettuce the large ginger slices and peanuts that are served with them. All of the salads we had were very good. Papaya salad was a nicely balanced version of the familiar classic, every bite of duck larb had a crunch of herb, spice, meat, skin and what I think were small bones as well, and the squid salad was spicy and acidic with tender strips of squid. My favorite dish of the meal was probably the sour curry, a sweet, sour and spicy soup with shrimp and what I can best describe as little square omelets of eggs and greens. The complexity of the broth is what did it for me; it was one of those things you just want to keep eating to make the flavor last.
Krua Siri delivers within a three mile radius, you can order on-line on their website.

The sour soup/curry should've been listed as kaeng som? w/ kai jeow cha-om (cha-om omelette). The cha-om omelette could also be served separate, with the omelette placed on top of rice on plate, then kaeng som poured over both. I don't know WTF the difference is, but was told: "that's how you do it". OKAY then.
And bastard. I've been meaning to hit this (along with Captain Thai -- also Issan) for 2 months now... to no avail.
"Review Chaser". I'm going to quote that shortly. Reminds me of chubby chasers. ZING.

Yeah, that's the soup. They spelled in "Kang Som." The broth was great, but I didn't care as much for the omelettes, which got pretty soggy in the soup (they were served in the soup, not separately, probably would have been better the way you described).

The Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival closed out its sixth, final day Sunday with fans getting punked by Arcade Fire, but leaving happy thanks to memorable performances throughout the second weekend by Pharrell Williams to OutKast and Disclosure, who all brought out surprise guests.
Even with the cancellation of Chance the Rapper, who brought out Justin Bieber last weekend, festival fans didn't seem too bummed as they celebrated Easter and 4/20 under the hot desert sun.

The moment that seems to able to change me and even the world
Is always right by my side
Gazing at unconcealable irritations
And the me who stands completely still
While I'm confused, while I'm troubled, while I'm grieving
I should decide on it
With the one word that you gave me, my perplexion vanishes
In my room that seemed empty, light shined
The great sky that I looked up at grows serene in blue
I've decided to open the closed window
Here and now I feel the moment
That seems to be able to change me and even the world

After rewatching the episode, despite whatever other misgivings I had, I suddenly realised the biggest.
The after episode illustration! This is one of the staples of Taniguchi's shows! Of course maybe it was the raw I had that cut it off. Anyone know if there was one? I'td be shame if they dropped this especially considering how nice Kimura's ones were for Gun x Sword...

Uh, so I don't watch that much anime anymore, but I was getting really, really excited about this series. The animation looked great, the costume design looked great, the mecha and fight scenes looked great, the characters looked great....
and then I read the plot summary. This is the 21st century, the century of globalization, internationalization, friendships across boundaries. If this show's target audience is teenagers, then they do not need to be shown anything that fosters nationalism. Sure, they're concerned about North Korea. Why take it out on the poor white British gaijin?
Believe me, I'm a teenager, I know how impressionable some of us can be. x_x Especially if, in Japan, only a portion of Japanese schools teach a World Geography course (not all US ones do, but some realize how important it is)
Ohh dear, I was so looking forward to this. Now I'm starting to get worried, especailly since Abe took over Koizumi's job as the Prime Minister of Japan.....
P.S On the bright side, isn't this aired at like 2:00 AM in Japan? If it is, thank God, because I shudder to think the difference this would make in that prime-time spot that's so popular.

I do think in the sense of images protrayed to young people... it should be away from imperial/nationalism tides. The special's interviews suggested that story wise, viewers themselves may become confused with who they really like, who they think is right. As we already have seen the "Attack" and the "Counterattack" both have shown ugly sides. One being oppressive and one being terrorists... Little difference to people who become victims.
C.C. in her contract sequence also mentions that the Geass power ("King's" power i think its referred as) will "isolate", "make solitary" the user, Lulu. Like many have already mentioned, just the power itself will probably corrupt Lulu just like it has corrupted the empire already. And the story... some mix of Lulu... Terror vs. Empire and all the people who are ignorantly innocent...
mmm Now I wonder if C.C. is only gonna be spiritual presence... ---; kinda sucks lol Then again she did grab his wrist after being .. killed? lol... the way Suzaku and C.C. got bonked makes it this feel like were going to have one of those...

finally saw the show, it was a whiz bang of an opener. It reminds me of scryed in a sense. Hopefully, it'll balance the action with the strong overarching themes AND keep the plot above too many cliches (scryed got stupid in the last 3rd part of the show with mujo). Lelouch will be an interesting character to follow. The animation didn't blow me away but it was still good, i've grown to like Kimura's interpretations of the CLAMP designs too (his ending illustrations are awesome). Music was good, like how BGM intergrates so well that you don't even really notice it. That being said, i like Nakagawa's scores but does anyone else think his trademark saxophones just jarred with the feel of the last bit of Lulu axing those soldiers just a teense?
Let's hope we keep this level of seriousness constant through the show (i read originally that this was to be a mix of campus and robot anime and after seeing that bleak opener, i think those trademark "high school hijinks" would just totally ruin the shows jive.)

YES. I totally agree. We'll wait and see, but there's a very high possibility of it happening - I hope it doesn't. Screw lightheartedness. If you want to have that don't do it with high school hijinks! Please...
Not_At: Perhaps it's precisely because of those themes that it's aired at 2:00 rather than 6:00 pm (where it might earn the ire of more than a few leftie parents).
The whole thing about there being more girls like CC (and the way they're lined up like that) reminds me a bit of Coralians in Eureka 7... Actually that was one of the things I liked about that show, I wonder if they'll do something similar here.

Hopefully the high school setting is nothing more than a short-lived gimmick setting which will be used to just reinforce Lelouch's "out of place with the rest of the world due to teh King's power" in which in both his rationalized fake life where he lives normally as a student, and his alter-ego's life as the Black King (( the Batman Lelouch )) where he would probably ally himself with the Japanese terrorist, and his attempts to walk both ways would end up backfiring, and creates nothing but turmoil for the rest of his normal friends.....hopefully.
I said that, but looking at Suzaku wearing the school uniform, I think the setting will be there for a while unless there's the whole Suzaku infiltrates school and spies on Lelouch/terrorist thingy.
I hope the school gets bombed in due time. Hopefully it won't take too long.

How ever did the Britons succeed in conquering half the known world when they're practically incapacitated during five o'clock tea time? Regardless, you'd think they'd have read the Evil Overlord guidebook by now, even if you think your subjects have less worth than vermin in private but you're trying to enlist their cooperation in public, do not name a country "Area 11". That's just not sensible.
I hope they don't broaden Lelouch's power's abilities too much, but seeing as it is a "King's" power, i.e. domination, I don't think I'll be disappointed. I am, however, going to cry foul if this has a happy ending for all parties involved (... except the Empire naturally), it isn't going to fit with the path Lelouch has set on. Personally I'm hoping for a Prince of Nothing -esque ending to this piece.
I have high hopes for the - as Nightengale put it - Batman. Capes can only be used by the most badass of individuals, and Lelouch does seem determined to not be a slouch in that particular department.
Do not deviate from the path of the Legend of Ragnarök, Lelouch.

you know its just me probably, but the violence in the episode seemed much more visceral as opposed to other shows with this much violence. I think it has to do with the designs which look far too "cute" for all the violence. (once again design theory, i don't expect to see wide eyed characters engaging in such well CARNAGE, eeeeee). Then again they said the same thing happened in V gundam and Now and then, Here and There (which i havent seen yet, really wanna see V tho)

While I say that, sometimes these things do happen. It's just that we deem it to be humanely impossible, because it would simply be denying the humanity in the soldiers who do the dirty work for their leaders.
Watched the RAW, and from the POV of a mecha lover, I wouldn't be too happy...yet. The mecha designs aren't as flashy as those from the Gundam series, that's for sure, but if anything left an impression on me after the first episode, it certainly wasn't the mecha battle sequences or the designs.
It would be interesting to see how Lelouch develops as a character, though, because I find it hard to imagine him returning to peaceful life so soon when a whole section of soldiers ordered to secure the terrorists' truck were mysteriously killed.

To something like Gasaraki... Thats what Nightmares (especially the backside cockpit) reminds me of the most. I believe the Gasaraki mechs were called... uhh T.A.? I forget. Think of Nightmares like that and I think we have a neat mecha series. (hopefully)

That being said, I don't mind CODE Geass having a pinch of humor added in.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman and UAE Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan will visit Pakistan separately next year.
Addressing a press conference, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said that UAE Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan will visit Pakistan in January, while Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman will visit in February.
"Prime Minister Imran Khan spoke to Mohammad bin Zayed bin sultan A-Nahyan and Saudi Arabia's Mohammad bin Salman on the telephone. The two leaders will be coming to Pakistan next year," Chaudhry announced.
The minister said that the names of MNAs Mohsin Dawar and Ali Wazir have been taken off the Exit Control List, adding that they were offloaded from a Dubai-bound flight at the Peshawar airport on November 30 by the security officials.

Top 10 Conventional High Schools
Our new "Context and Performance" Report Card factors student poverty levels into four years of standardized test scores for nearly 600 public high schools in Michigan and ranks the schools accordingly. Here's a list of the top 10 conventional high schools — that is, district-run schools that are neither charter schools nor selective-admissions schools.

The Trilogy is a 3 DVD box set containing over 6 hours of card tricks, flourishes and everything else Dan and Dave have dreamt up with a deck of cards. It is a body of work that spans over ten years of study and practice. You'll find everything from a simple one-hand shuffle to an eight packet flourish display along with never before seen tricks so visual you won't believe it's all done with a normal deck. Plus you'll discover over 100 unique sleights that can be adapted and finessed to your own repertoire.
Anyone looking to elevate their card magic should check this out.
Dan and Dave have been at the forefront of their craft since they were only fourteen years old. They have helped mold a new genre of card magic, a style visually rich and direct. Their style and originality has received acclaim from such megastars as David Blaine and David Copperfield. When they were only 17 years old they performed alongside Guy Hollingworh, Paul Gertner, Chad Long and Bill Malone at the first MAGIC Live convention in Las Vegas, and were the only performers to receive a standing ovation. They were among the first to start a movement with card flourishes, also known as XCM or Extreme Card Manipulation with the release of The Dan and Dave System in 2004.
This collection contains a vast array of magical effects, flourishes and everything else their minds have conjured up. From beginner to professional, these DVD's contain something for everyone. Every effect is broken down step by step for a seamless learning experience.
Over 6 hours of material explained in detail with multiple angles, on screen text, and slow motion replays.
Tricks DVD
Powerful walk-around magic that can be done anywhere at anytime, surrounded, and with a normal deck of cards.
Card Across
A selected card is left protruding from half the deck in your left hand while the other half remains in your right hand. Instantly and without the packets ever touching their card vanishes and reappears protruding face-up in the right hand packet. The card can be signed!
Fission for Aces
An eight is turned face up on top of the deck. In a splitting action, the eight is ripped into two fours of matching color. One of the fours is handed out, as the remaining four is this time split at the fingertips into two two's. Lastly, as you can imagine, a two is split into two aces. This quick trick is extremely visual – everything is done at the fingertips.
We've taken this classic and usually boring effect and given it STYLE. Two cards are selected and lost in the deck. As the four aces are magically produced, the selections mysteriously appear between them. This is as visual as it gets.
Swiss Made
Here's a remix of the classic 'Back in Time' effect by Steve Freeman.
If you know the Freeman trick, just imagine it with a face-up card and you've imagined this trick, seriously.
In this effect you'll learn the 'db Spin Change', the most visual change we've created and the EASIEST change you'll ever do!
Sixty Nine
The coolest packet trick you'll ever perform. The 4 sixes are shown with the added Buck flair. The performer jokes about how if he turns the six around it changes to a nine (pointing to an upside down six from the spectators POV). The next time the performer turns them around, they really do change to 4 nines and the cards can be handed out for examination.
Hand to Mouth
The spectator is instructed to push their protruding card flush with the deck... By this time the card is already in your mouth.
The misdirection is so perfect that you will find yourself performing this surrounded without anyone having a clue.
Our finesse and style differentiates this effect from previous handlings.
Déjà Vu
Any card is selected and sandwiched between the two red aces; these cards are clearly placed on the table. Another card is selected, however, the performer miscalls it as the first selection. This second selection is face up on top of the deck. With a snap, the card visually transforms into the first selection sandwiched between the red aces. The cards on the table are spread to reveal the second selection sandwiched between the black aces.
This is a beautiful transposition effect with a clever plot about déjà vu that will leave you spectators wondering more about what they really just witnessed, or if it happened at all.
TiVo Transpo
Here's an instant two-card transposition effect. It can be done anytime and surrounded.
One selection is placed face-down into deck center while the other remains face-up on top. Visually and with no sneaky moves the two cards transpose. You end clean!
TiVo 2.0
Here's another take on the visual two-card transposition. Imagine openly placing a selected card out-jogged in the center of the deck, turning the top card face-up and without ever covering either card, they instantly transpose. In addition, you'll learn an awesome new double lift from the center. This trick rocks on all levels!
Hedbergs Peak
If you ever need a quick trick to send that "wise guy" back to where he belongs, this is it! It leaves them completely stumped after thinking they had you all along. It's another quick transposition effect but opens several other possibilities with a new move called 'The V Switch'.
Twinsplit Remix
The three of clubs is shown at the fingertips in the left hand. You explain how the pips on the card are removable and you pinch the center pip of the three with the fingertips of the right hand. In a quick action, you visually pull off the center pip of the three leaving the ace of clubs in your right hand the two of clubs in your left hand. These cards can be cleanly shown front and back. You can then go on to replace the pip by tossing the ace into the two in which it visually transforms back into the three.
This trick is so visual. The cards are always at the fingertips and face up. No duplicate cards or gimmicks required.
Here's a completely modernized version of Earl Nelson's 'Submarine Sandwich'.
We've given the effect a few of our signature touches and added teleportation to the plot to make what was a good trick a GREAT routine.
Flourishes DVD
The latest flourishes from Dan and Dave are explained in full detail, including the much talked about Jackson Five.

Newly created radio network to launch on Jan. 2, 2013
CBS Sports Radio has announced the newest member of its lineup for when the nation's largest 24/7 major-market radio network launches next year. Jim Rome will serve as host of "The Jim Rome Show," broadcast live weekdays from noon to 3 p.m. beginning on Wednesday, Jan. 2, 2013.
Also at the start of the new year, Rome will provide his unique take on the day's sports headlines via the "CBS Sports Minute," 60-second commentaries that can be heard hourly on CBS Sports Radio affiliate stations. Rome recently signed a multi-year agreement with CBS contributing across a variety of platforms. In addition to his weekday "ROME" show on CBS Sports Network, he provides commentary for CBS Sports and CBSSports.com. Further, Rome will also be hosting a talk series for Showtime, which will air later this fall on the premium network.
"Jim would be at the top of any list highlighting sports radio's most authoritative and opinionated hosts, which is exactly why we're thrilled to welcome him to CBS Sports Radio," said Dan Mason, president and CEO of CBS Radio. "We are building a network that showcases the incredible assets of CBS Radio and CBS Sports, and creating a strategic opportunity for growth in this untapped marketplace. Jim's presence in this marquee time period adds strength to our lineup and exceptional value to our advertisers."
"I am excited for the continued opportunity to extend my personal contributions to the various platforms that this incredible company has to offer," Rome said. "I am proud to be a part of the CBS family and look forward to the successful launch of CBS Sports Radio."
Perhaps the most respected voice in the world of sports broadcasting, Rome is one of the leading opinion-makers of his generation. Best known for his aggressive, informed, rapid-fire dialogue, Rome has established himself as the top choice of athletes and fans when it's time to know what is going on beyond the scoreboard.
For more than 15 years, Rome has hosted a nationally syndicated radio program, "The Jim Rome Show," aka "The Jungle," reaching millions of listeners nationwide. His show on ESPN, "Rome Is Burning," signed off in January after airing for six years.
Rome previously served as host of the popular program "The Last Word with Jim Rome," broadcast nightly on Fox Sports Net for five years. Prior to that, he spent a two-year stint hosting ESPN2's "Talk2," a nightly one-hour interview show. Rome began his radio career at KTMS, Santa Barbara, Calif., as the "$5-an-hour" traffic reporter and covered UC Santa Barbara's sports. He left KTMS for San Diego's all-sports station, XTRA Sports 690, where he created "The Jim Rome Show." The show was first syndicated in 1996.
In addition to his extensive sports broadcasting career, Rome has made cameo appearances alongside Al Pacino and Matthew McConaughey in "Two For The Money"; with Adam Sandler in "The Longest Yard"; and opposite Michael Jordan in "Space Jam." He released a CD, "Welcome to the Jungle," which features memorable sound bites from frequent callers and the hip music regularly used on his radio show.
CBS Sports Radio will offer around-the-clock national sports coverage and programming, harnessing the power and resources of CBS Radio and the award-winning CBS Sports. High-profile figures from CBS Sports, CBS Sports Network and CBSSports.com will play a prominent role on CBS Sports Radio, which will reach more than 10 million listeners at launch. Original programs across multiple weekday and weekend time periods will feature expert sports commentary and interviews with major sports figures along with listener calls and fan interaction. It was previously announced that Doug Gottlieb would serve as host of afternoons (weekdays, 3 to 6 p.m.) on CBS Sports Radio.

Hey genea-kids, it's Saturday Night - time for lots of Genealogy Fun!
Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to:
1) Go to the Wordle site - www.wordle.net and create your own unique Wordle - it's a word cloud. You can use either a clump of text, enter your own words (say, surnames, or given names), use a blog page address, or something else. Your choice! Be creative with the fonts, colors, backgrounds, and layout.
2) Save it as an image (I used Print Screen, pasted it to a Word document, used the Windows snipping tool to edit it, and saved it to a file). Tell us how you did it.
3) Show us your handiwork! Add the image to a blog post of your own or on a web page of your own. Tell me in a comment here where it is.
Note: If you want to email it to me (firstname.lastname@example.com), I'll put it up here on Genea-Musings for you as an update to this post.
Well, I did this once, a few months ago, not long after starting this blog. Maybe it's time to give it another whirl.

Well, as you can see (assuming you've been following my blog), Wordle takes a sampling of recent blog entries and uses the words found in them to create a word cloud. It even grabbed the rant on Commercials I just uploaded a few minutes prior, while leaving out a lot of material I've covered less recently. In fact, from this cloud, it looks like my blog is more of a tech blog than a genealogy blog!

Fan Reportedly Tried to Fight Vince Neil After Singer Took a Swing at Him
During a solo performance in New Mexico, Motley Crue singer Vince Neil appeared to take a swing at an audience member for no discernible reason. In the footage released exclusively by TMZ, there was no context as to what incited the response from Neil, but we've now got the back story to go with the video.
The Vince Neil incident took place at the Mountain Gods casino in New Mexico, and now a representative for the Casino has reportedly explained the back story to the thrown punch, along with what occurred after the show had concluded.
TMZ reports that the concertgoer in question had repeatedly attempted to grab at Vince Neil while he was singing onstage, which led to a fed up Neil taking a swing at him and kicking him out of the show. Interestingly enough, that wasn't the end of the story. The fan, who was allegedly intoxicated, tried to get some revenge on Neil at the concert after party.
"During the post-performance party at the property," the unnamed casino rep begins, "the intoxicated fan and his group of friends, who were also visibly inebriated, returned and continually attempted to get close to Vince." Before the fan and his entourage had the chance to reach Neil, they were thrown off the property by casino security.

(336) 841-1772
Greensboro, NC
Certified Hypnobabies Instructor, Hypno-Doula
As the mother of four and DONA certified birth doula, I believe in the importance and power of the birth experience. Whether good or bad, mothers remember and re-tell their birthing stories for the rest of their lives. Because of this, it just makes sense to work towards the best memory possible. After all, there are no "do-overs" with birth.
We are so fortunate that the choices that tend to lead towards the best experiences also tend to lead towards the healthiest mothers and babies. What I love most about Hypnobabies is that it is all about empowerment! This total childbirth education program promotes giving parents the confidence and tools to take responsibility for their health, their children's health, and their birth experiences. A calm, joyous and very comfortable birth ain't bad, either!

Praha5 7 Share Tweet
It may seem a cliché, but … what can be said of this famous city, full of history and stories, that is among the most visited places in Europe and even across the world?
All the photographs that we know, for years and years, have been taken by people from all over the world (notably the Czech photographers themselves, as Sudek, among others). All of them have been presented Praha as a city of magic and mystery.
The Jewish quarter itself, highlights the sad memory of his history, sad history. The legends of their people as well (for example, those of Jan Neruda) also give a special charm to the city. The first days of December, according to tradition, St. Nicholas (Anyone sounds?), goes to the homes of children, accompanied by an angel and a devil, as the child has behaved well or badly.
As in all places, we like the "bad" and that there are "demons" everywhere: cafes, dolls, costumes… It is a city that does not change their habits, but is enriched with everything new. A great world to us the lomographers! But not everything in the Czech Republic is Prague, so I recommend you catch the train (it's very cheap and modern!), and go to any destination, any city or town, which for large or small, will have its charm and unforgettable corners. I´m sure !!!

In today's NYTimes:
Sigh....Eric trots out the same old whiney complaints about the horrendous alcohol levels and their pruney flavors. He wants us to go back to those "food" wines of the early '80's??? I've never forgiven ole CharlieOlken for his "monster Zins w/ shabby table manners" sound-bite and have always laid that stupid "food" wine craze at his feet. Sorry..Charlie.
But Eric's article is actually pretty good. He focuses on Zins below the (arbitrary) 15% level. So-called claret-style Zins. Wines of balance..as they say. And he gets it exactly right in his praise for the #1 Ridge LyttonSprings, even though he feel compelled to apologize for its 14%+ alcohol. And he gives great kudos to Ridge for their transparency of winemaking choices on their WebSite. And...bless his soul...he gets it right on the Turley Zins...that they are often over 16%, but still display a sense of precision and place. Turley has long ago gotten away from Helen's over-the-top style that they once showed.
I get kinda tired of all this weeping & wailing of alcohol levels in Calif wines. Can't we just let it go and let the wine in the glass speak for itself??? Oh well...I guess the wine writers and bloggers have to have something to whine about.

Review of 2011 Anime Part 2 ~Spring~
There were a lot of anime that aired this spring! The only ones I didn't watch were the long running continuations of shounen aimed at a younger audience: Inazuma Eleven GO, Beyblade: Metal Fury, Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal, Digimon Xros Wars 2, and Danball Senki. I haven't seen any of these series except for Digimon but even then I only made it through the first 2 seasons before the 2010 reboot of the franchise. There was one shoujo title in there that I would actually like to watch someday called Jewelpet Sunshine. But first I want to watch the other 2 seasons of it...
With so many shows airing during the spring it should be no surprise that my favourite anime of the year started airing. Yes, Gintama 2 is my #1 for the year 2011. It's great to see all the characters back and getting into wacky situations! That space arc was AMAZING!
If Hyouge Mono actually had timely subs it might be in this spot but I can't put it there comfortably since I've only been able to watch 10 episodes from a 39 episode series. Hyouge Mono is certainly awesome though and more people should watch it!
Best Show of spring aside from Gintama because that's #1 of the year would be Toriko. He's a manly man out to find the most delicious food. It doesn't matter if he has to kill it himself! Just look at those arms! I plan to re-start blogging this series in the new year so look out for those! GUTS GUTS GUTS!
Worst Show of spring is Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi... Harem... I don't need to say more. I hate most harem cookie cutter shows. Especially ones that come from eroge games...
Here's my big list of Best to Worst shows of spring 2011:

Surprise enjoyment: Steins;Gate took me by storm. I didn't plan on watching it at first but a friend convinced me to start it. It was like a super win with this series because I really thought it wasn't going to be good, like at all. Astarotte's Toy was pretty much written off by everyone. I too doubted it at first. After all when you see "Semen and 10 years old" in a first synopsis of the series it's hard not to be judgmental.
Surprise fail: Deadman Wonderland while it still gets a passing mark from me, it really needed more for it to be truly awesome.
Honorable mentions: Ao no Exorcist is awesome and no one can tell me otherwise. I hope we get more someday and I can't wait for that movie. Tiger & Bunny should have been a show I fell in love with right from the start. Somehow that didn't happen at first. It took a while for all the characters to grow on me too long for me to truly enjoy the show. Pretty Rhythm Aurora Dream is SO girly but I can't stop watching it. I love ice skating and wanted to be one when I was a kid. I should probably write a diary post about it or something~
Marshmallow DJ is the best thing I've seen in a While
From Yondemasuyo Azazel-san episode 6. It never grows old! For me at least! XD
