London Police To Set Up Special Copyright Crime Police Force
from the hollywood-gets-its-local-police-force-in-london dept
The effort is being led by business secretary Vince Cable, who has sounded more reasonable on the subject in the past. But now he's setting up a private police force for Hollywood right inside the London police? And, even worse, he's pretending that this somehow encourages more creativity?
"Our creativity, our openness to and talent for innovation, is a key pillar of our return to robust growth. So it is right we work to create the environment in which creative, innovative businesses of all shapes and sizes flourish," Cable said in a speech at The Big Innovation Centre in London.Openness to talent and innovation isn't spurred along by giving one industry the ability to use the police to stop people from making mashups and being creative. It does the opposite. It creates fear among creative types and drives them further underground, rather than helping to add to creativity and culture. This seems like a big step backward for a group that had promised to take a more evidence-based approach to copyright reform.
"A vital part of this is making sure the intellectual property landscape encourages and cements success and growth. The new vision for how we support businesses and consumers is central to achieving this."

Two crack thieves, Emilio and Alejandro, reunite to rob the biggest thief they know--Moctesuma Valdez, a TV infomercial guru who's made millions selling worthless health products to poor Latino immigrants. Valdez's empire is next to impossible to infiltrate.
But Emilio and Alejandro know if they go undercover as day laborers - chauffeurs, gardeners, maids, and repairmen--they can rob Valdez blind right under his nose. It's a perfect plan? except that no one on their team wants the job. Refusing to give up, Emilio and Alejandro come up with a solution so insane it might just work--use real day laborers.
Within days, they form a team of criminal amateurs with just the right skills.
There's Julio, a TV repair shop employee who's also an electronics expert, Rafa and Rafaela, a valet and his mechanic daughter in charge of transportation, Miguelito, a Cuban refugee actor and master of disguises, and the metro-sexual ditch digger, Anival, who plays the token heavy.
None of them has ever committed a crime in their lives, but this motley crew of underdogs--so often taken for granted--is ready to face impossible odds and "receive 100 years of forgiveness." "Ladron Que Roba a Ladron" proves that being underestimated is sometimes your best advantage.


text: Civil rights leader and two-time Democratic presidential candidate Jesse Jackson (1941–) became one of the most influential African-Americans of the late 20th century. He rose to prominence working within Martin Luther King Jr.'s Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and was at the Memphis hotel with King when he was assassinated. Through PUSH, the organization he founded in 1971, Jackson pressed for broader employment opportunities for African-Americans. During the 1980s and 1990s he negotiated the release of dozens of international hostages and prisoners. In his 1984 and 1988 presidential campaigns, Jackson won 16 state contests and millions of votes, making him the first viable African-American candidate for president.

Spiced-Up Menu for a Weekend Soup Party
Here are two soups suitable for a party, plus a few good sides. And given the green color of one of the soups, this could also be a good St. Patrick's Day idea! This menu is very warming; there's a little kick of spiciness throughout, from the toasty cumin in the chili to the shallots in the salad to the spices in the cookies. But it's light and refreshing too: there's sweetness in the kale soup, and a lemon zing in the slaw.
Spicy Soup Party Menu
• Chili Con Carne – A robust chili for company, with meaty chunks of chuck roast and lots and lots of flavor. This soup, like the following, can be made the night before your party. Reheat to a simmer just before your guests come.
• Kale and Apple Soup – A vegetarian-friendly soup that can even be made vegan. But if you are all meat-eaters, do leave in the pancetta and crème fraîche. It's a sexy little soup, and a good accompaniment to the classic chili.
• Cheddar and Chiles Bread – An easy no-knead bread that works just perfectly with both the soups above.
• Fresh Fennel and Lemon Slaw – Fresh, crunchy, and bright – a good balance to the rich, hot soups.
• Mini Molasses Cookies with Lemon Filling – Soup is very filling, so dessert should be light and refreshing. These mini molasses cookies are small, for a lighter treat, but they still pack a lot of flavor with spicy ginger and cinnamon. The lemon curd brightens them, though, for a refreshing last bite. Use storebought lemon curd if you want to make these more quick. (They're also good made ahead and left in the fridge to soften.)
If you want something even quicker and easier for dessert, try the easiest cake ever.
• Wine and Soup: Easy Pairing Tips – Here's a good list of wines to pair with these soups. Chili isn't specifically on the list, but try the red wine recommended for the tomato soup.
Soup Party Tips
• Set up soups in the kitchen or along a bar so that guests can serve themselves. Reserve the dining room table (or the coffee table!) for sitting and eating. Soup is not a balancing act.
• Plate the salads ahead of time and put a dish of salad plus a brightly-colored napkin at each placesetting. Cut the bread and put it out in a basket or pretty bowl, folding it in a cloth napkin to keep it warm.
• Put out small bowls of soup toppings around the table: Parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese and onions for the chili, sunflower seeds, extra yogurt for the kale soup, and small toasty croutons.
• If you're short on bowls, use teacups or mugs instead. This also lets your guests try two kinds of soup at once!
• Fill tall glass tumblers with soup spoons and put them in the middle of the table.
• Don't forget the decorations: just two or three small candles and few flowers here and there in bud vases will brighten your party.
• Half an hour before your guests arrive, put the soups on the stove to warm over low heat. When your guests walk in they'll smell soup! Put a ladle on a plate next to each pot of soup. Lower the lighting, put on some music, and light the candles. Right before your guests come put the cookies on a pretty plate and cover it with a napkin.
• If your friends are cooks too, turn your soup party into a soup swap!

The start of April will coincide with the start of Project C8, and while I know you are (or should be) working hard on getting all the releases ready for Project C8 this memo is to remind you of new policies going into effect as soon as April begins here in the DragonFable Department.
Starting at the beginning of April there is to be no congregating in the Dentist Office that functions as Hidden Entrance #4. We have had some questions asked when a nerf fight broke out and caused a root canal to go horribly awry.
The first week of April will also see the installation of a card reader at the entrance to the sock cages. This is for your protection; the socks have been getting increasingly aggressive since the onset of the lint season.
Due to new negotiations with the Hamster Teamsters we are now all required to work equal time powering the servers as part of our weekly schedules starting in April, and they are to be allowed to input and comment on DragonFable's releases. As they don't speak anything resembling a language, this should have minimal input on our creativity.
The Fridge is no longer to be used for lunches, sodas, or anything at all. The Forestry Service is now in the process of investigating it as the long-expired yogurt has seemingly spawned consciousness and is developing a unique cultural identity.
While these changes will take time to get used to, I fully expect you to take them on professionally; they should be viewed as integral new procedures for the team. The successful release of Project C8 on the first day of April (this Friday) will herald a new era for our team.
The Ficus Brain...Training? Ghost? Are you okay?

The success of Project C8 hinges upon you completing all your work in the prescribed amount of time. Failure to release your projects on time, every hour, will result in termination by tog.

Nikki Sixx Addresses New Motley Crue Album, Marilyn Manson + Randy Blythe in Online Chat
Nikki Sixx was in a chatty mood Friday, so the Motley Crue bassist ventured online to take part in a chat with Best Buy's Unboxed chat series.
He fielded questions from fans, and one prominent topic was the subject of new Motley Crue music. Sixx explained, "We're writing … and when the songs are ready, we'll record them and how we will release them, we don't know, because everything is changing and we kinda like it."
When asked by a fan if they might consider something other than the album strategy, Sixx added, "How we release music in the future, whether it's song by song, EP by EP, album by album, or soundtracks to movies, we don't know … we're open and excited about our future and in no rush to release music just to release music. I hope you enjoy 'Sex.' It's just the beginning." The 'Sex' single arrives July 17, just in time for their tour with Kiss this summer.
Nikki also fielded questions about other rockers. When asked for his thoughts on Marilyn Manson, Sixx stated, "I always thought that Marilyn Manson had a great opportunity to be as big as Bowie or Alice Cooper, but he needed to write the songs as good as those artists do it."
The bassist also chimed in on the Lamb of God situation with singer Randy Blythe being jailed in the Czech Republic. He explained, "Yes, I have been following what's going on in the news with Randy and I think it's completely ridiculous. I don't know him, but I wish the best for him."

Chicago transit officials are planning to spend up to $2 billion on a new generation of rail cars to modernize the nation's second-largest mass transit system.
The Chicago Transit Authority announced Wednesday it is accepting bids for up to 850 new rail cars that would start to roll out in 2016. They would replace "El" cars that are around 30 years old or older, which is beyond the industry standard for a rail car's useful life.
The CTA began rolling out another series of newer cars last year that offer a smoother ride and more space.
The agency says the latest series planned will allow for continuous replacement of its aging fleet.
In the past, the CTA has waited as long as 20 years between rail car orders.

Bloomberg's bomb: How SEC shredded Facebook's pre-IPO claims
According to a recently publicised set of emails, US financial watchdog the Securities and Exchange Commission found that important claims made by Facebook were unsupportable and forced the company to disclose key weaknesses in its business plan before its 18 May IPO.
The highlights are outlined in this lengthy report from Bloomberg - today's must-read. The background of the story is the great Facebook IPOcalypse, which was billed as the "IPO of the century" but has generated dozens of lawsuits, with the current stock price bumping along at around half of initial asking price.
In the ensuing blame game, the SEC is not going to be a patsy - hence the detailed and damning disclosures of 12 emails passed between SEC and Facebook law firm Fenwick & West LLP.
According to the emails, Facebook dropped some citations from its prospectus after the SEC queried whether the sources - including a purported "Nielsen survey" - supported the claim. The SEC also noted that Facebook had counted "some mobile users" twice.
Facebook also appeared to have omitted key indicators such as decelerating revenue growth, declining user counts and its heavy reliance on virtual poorhouse Zynga, which it apparently included only after SEC requested the specifics.
(Facebook counts you as an active user even if you never visit the site - but merely click a 'Like' or leave comment on a third-party site as an authenticated Facebook user.)
According to the emails, published here on the SEC's website, Facebook's initial filing reported Zynga as contributing around 12 per cent of the social network's 2011 revenue - but further emails revealed that it was substantially higher; Facebook had omitted the advertising revenue it reaped from Zynga apps and so had to revise the figure upwards to 19 per cent of revenue.
According to the emails, Facebook also dragged its feet over disclosing just how many people accessed the site through mobile devices. One of the most controversial aspects in Facebook's IPO was its struggle to monetise mobile access - which is how, increasingly, people engage with the site.
The most remarkable passage in Bloomberg's report details how Facebook's bankers - JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs and lead underwriter Morgan Stanley - nevertheless agreed to raise the asking price in May - from $28-$35 to $34-38.
Notes Bloomberg:
They reached consensus on pricing the IPO at the top of the $34 to $38 range, as a lower level would have signaled weakness in demand, said one of the people close to the situation.
And we can't have that.
Reg contributor Steve Bong is not mentioned in the report "Facebook Fought SEC to Keep Mobile Risks Hidden". ®

News staff writer
August 3, 2005
The quick turnaround on a sale of land for a Hood River college campus has sparked rumors of an "insider deal."
But Teunis Wyers, attorney for Icon Holdings, LLC, said that speculation is totally unfounded. In fact, he said Robert Gilham was reluctant to sell the 13.5 acre site in the Heights that he was still in the process of purchasing.
The England native, who lives part-time in Hood River, had plans to develop a subdivision that would have been worth more than $3 million.
However, Gilham was informed that the college (CGCC), as a public entity, could condemn the property and buy it at a lesser rate.
He said at that point, he decided not to get caught up in legal wrangling and agreed to a sale. Gilham did request $375,000 more than he had paid for the property two weeks earlier.
He felt that was fair compensation for the time and money that he had spent to gain a major right-of-way to the site from 12th Street and Pacific Avenue.
"They basically made us an offer that we couldn't refuse," said Wyers.
Bob Cole, CGCC executive director of resource development, said Gilham was not threatened with condemnation, just informed about that possibility.
He said the final settlement was equitable at $1.3 million plus a share of the closing costs. The land for the new campus is located immediately west of 12th Street (Tucker Road) and adjacent to the Hood River Ford dealership. The property borders Indian Creek and has limited frontage along 12th Street.
"We all knew that condemnation was an option but not one we would have used unless he had asked an exorbitant price," said Cole.
The purchase is contingent upon site inspections and other work to ensure the acreage is appropriate for development.
A due diligence period started on July 22 and the closing is set for Sept. 21.
The college selected the land in the Heights after reviewing 11 sites in Hood River over the past four years.
That process gained new urgency with the passage of the bond measure last November, and has been guided in part by the development of an academic master plan.
That study led by Dr. Susan Wolff, dean of instruction, will help determine infrastructure design in both The Dalles and Hood River.

Multilevel marketing has been in the press a lot lately, thanks to Bill Ackman accusing Herbalife (NYSE:HLF) of operating an illegal pyramid scheme in December. Prior to Ackman's charge (not exactly a new revelation), I happened to recommend that investors buy Avon Products (NYSE:AVP), itself a big player in the MLM world. Since then Avon's stock is up 9% compared to 5.4% for the SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE:SPY).
It's on a roll.
The question is whether it can continue its end-of-the-year momentum, especially given the bad publicity shining brightly on the entire industry. I believe it can.
First, let's consider its stock price for a moment. Despite a 9% run in less than two months, it's still trading at levels not seen since March 2009 and before that, February 2000. Its price-to-sales ratio of 0.6 is one-quarter its multiple a decade ago and half that of the S&P 500.
One of my favorite valuation metrics — enterprise value to EBITDA — shows quite a gap between then and now. At the end of 1999, Avon's enterprise value was $9.4 billion — 14.9 times EBITDA. Today, its enterprise value is $8.9 billion and just 10 times EBITDA. Avon has had just one year of positive returns in the past five. Any good news from CEO McCoy is bound to move the needle.
Avon reports fourth-quarter earnings on Feb. 11. Analysts estimate 2012 revenues of $10.71 billion with 76 cents in earnings per share. Looking back at its 1999 fiscal year, revenues were $5.3 billion with EPS of $1.17. On a per share basis, it delivered higher profits in 1999 than what's expected in 2012. On a dollar basis, however, it should earn $25 million more than in 1999.
Clearly, operating margins were much higher back then, but gross margins are a different story altogether, at an identical 61.5% for both periods. The culprit at Avon is a bloated infrastructure. Its selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of revenues in 1999 was 49%. Today they're at 57%, costing shareholders $900 million annually, or a little more than $2 per share.
Not surprisingly, Avon announced in December initial steps for reducing costs by $400 million annually by the end of 2015. Part of its plan includes cutting its global work force by 1,500 people. While never a popular move, especially when jobs are so hard to come by, cuts had to be made. If not, the 40,000 or so currently on Avon's payroll would also be at risk. CEO McCoy comes from an organization where operating margins as a norm were well above 20%. At this point, I'm sure she'd be happy just returning Avon to double digits.
Bottom Line
Some interesting investors have gotten on board the Avon bus since Andrea Jung stepped aside for McCoy last April, including Ken Fisher, whose Fisher Investments took a small $6.6 million position in the third quarter of 2012. Given that Fisher manages many billions, that's certainly not news, but it does indicate that someone in the know thinks McCoy has a chance of righting the ship.
Perhaps more interesting is the $35 million investment Jamie Zimmerman has made in Avon beginning in the second quarter of 2012. Zimmerman is the founder of Litespeed Management, which Bloomberg ranks as the 21st best-performing hedge fund (assets of more than $1 billion) in 2012. Zimmerman focuses on businesses that are down but not out. That definitely describes Avon.
At the end of the day, Avon's success will come from reducing its overhead while simultaneously forging ahead in the markets where it does well, like Asia and Latin America. If it does both of these, the current run-up is only the very beginning of a long bull run.
As of this writing, Will Ashworth didn't own any securities mentioned here.

Woohoo! One of the best Genesis games ever is getting an HD remake! See, this is why we love video games. Even when old titles get remade, we still jump for joy.
Sega just released a teaser trailer announcing an HD remake of Castle of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse. The game is being developed for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC and is going to come out this summer!
If you haven't played Castle of Illusion, it's one of the best platformers out there. You play as Mickey, trying to save Minnie Mouse from the evil witch Mizrabel, who wants to steal Minnie's youth. Mizrabel is holding Minnie in the Castle of Illusion, and Mickey has to travel to different worlds, collecting gems to build a bridge so he can access the castle.
We're really excited to hear that Sega is bringing this game back for us retro fans, and for a whole new gaming generation. Hopefully, World of Illusion is next on the list!

The whale-watching boat was about to go back to the coast of Rancho Palos Verdes when the captain suddenly began heading the vessel farther out to sea.
As the boat inched closer and closer to a pod of whales, passengers on board gathered to look on in amazement.
This was not your ordinary whale-watching trip.
Typically, gray whales travel by themselves. Sometimes, they will travel in groups of three. But on Sunday afternoon, researchers counted 23 — give or take a whale — in a single pod.
The group was the largest that volunteers with the American Cetacean Society/Los Angeles Chapter Gray Whale Census and Behavior Project have seen in 30 years, said Alisa Schulman-Janiger, the director and coordinator of the group.

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 22, 2012) - Conquest Resources Limited (TSX VENTURE:CQR) ("Conquest" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has filed a report entitled: "Technical Report on Exploration at the Alexander Gold Project in Red Lake, Ontario" ("Technical Report" or "report"). The report summarizes the exploration activities conducted to date on the Alexander Property ("the Property") and concludes that additional work is warranted to advance the project.
Conquest's exploration activities on its 100% owned Alexander Property total $6.1 million, the majority of which are drilling activities conducted during 2009 through 2011. Since the acquisition of the Red Lake Alexander Property by Conquest in 2002, the Company has completed a total of 31,086 metres of surface exploration diamond drilling, of which 22,961 metres of drilling was completed during an intensive exploration drilling program from 2009 through 2011.
Geophysical and geochemical surveys have also been conducted in addition to surface trenching and mapping over the Property. Geophysical data has been provided from a regional airborne survey commissioned by Goldcorp and flown over Conquest's property. During 2008, Goldcorp drilled four (4) holes from their Red Lake mine property on to the Alexander Property which are also summarized in the Technical Report.
In order to advance exploration on the Alexander Property, the Technical Report recommends the following work to:
"(a) establish and drill test targets through a compilation of existing exploration drilling, geophysics, and geochemistry;
(b) follow-up previous geophysical work conducted by Goldcorp on the Alexander Property and their adjacent mine property;
(c) conduct geochemical surveys on the ground and using existing drill core to establish new drill hole targets; and
(d) to research and conduct a modern bore-hole EM and IP geophysical survey which utilizes the 2009, 2010, and 2011 drill holes which have been maintained for this purpose."
Management believes that an extensive deep drilling program of 20,000 metres of drilling combined with down-hole electromagnetic and induced polarization geophysical surveys is warranted. Conquest considers that the most efficient way to unlock any future value for shareholders and advance the Alexander project is to establish a joint venture with a strategic partner to complete the work that is recommended in the Technical Report.
The Company is soliciting expressions of interest from qualified mining companies who may wish to enter into a strategic partnership joint venture with the Company to advance exploration on its Alexander Gold Project.
The Alexander Property is 100% owned by Conquest and is comprised of twenty-seven (27) patented mining claims covering 448 hectares of land situated just beyond the security gate at Goldcorp's Red Lake gold mine. The Property is located immediately west of the Red Lake Complex and Balmer Complex headframes at Goldcorp's Red Lake gold mines within the Red Lake mining district.
The Alexander Property is of ample size to accommodate a high grade gold deposit at depth as repetition of the adjacent deposits at Goldcorp's Red Lake gold mine. The stratigraphy under the Property remains essentially untested below 700 metres depth. The richest gold bearing ore zones exist below a vertical depth of 1,300 metres in the High Grade Zone at the Goldcorp Red Lake gold mine which is less than 800 metres from the property boundary.
Information of a scientific or technical nature contained in this release has been prepared by or under the supervision of Benjamin Batson, P. Geo., the Vice Present of Exploration of the Company, who is a Qualified Person within the meaning of National Instrument 43‐101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators. The Technical Report was prepared by Mr. Batson in compliance with National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") and is available on the Company's website and on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).
Conquest is exploring several geologically significant gold projects in Ontario. In addition to Conquest's flagship Alexander Property in Red Lake, Ontario, the Company is undertaking exploration activities at its Detour Lake and Smith Lake properties.
The Smith Lake Gold Project measures 54 square kilometres and consists of six (6) patented mining claims and thirty-four (34) mining claims located within the Missanabie-Goudreau greenstone belt in Leeson and Rennie Townships in northern Ontario. The property is 100% Conquest owned and is contiguous with the former International Corona Resources Renabie Gold Mine, which at that time produced more than 1,000,000 ounces of gold from 1941 through 1991.
In June, the government of Ontario released a geophysical data set containing a compilation of local and regional airborne magnetic and electromagnetic geophysical data for the area covering 70% of the newly amalgamated Conquest land package in the Renabie area. Interpretation of this data by Conquest has generated more than fifteen geophysical targets for gold and base metals exploration which have been scheduled for prospecting and mapping following spring break-up in 2013. The goal is to advance the project by: (i) assessing its potential to host another Renabie sized gold deposit; and, (ii) to determine if volcanogenic massive sulphide potential exists in the metavolcanic and metasedimentary successions present in the Missanabie-Goudreau Greenstone Belt.
The Sunday Lake Gold Project consists of 13 square kilometers of prospective minerals leases located along the Sunday Lake Deformation Zone situated approximately seven kilometres east of Detour Gold's 15.6 million ounce proposed open pit gold mine in northern Ontario that is presently nearing commissioning.
In September 2010, Conquest entered into a joint venture with Detour Gold (TSX:DGC) on Conquest's Sunday Lake Property pursuant to which Detour Gold has the right to earn a 50% interest in the Sunday Lake Property by completing $1,000,000 of exploration prior to September 30, 2013.
Detour Gold is expected to complete a winter drill program during the first quarter (Q1) 2013 which is estimated to cost $320,000. Conquest does not anticipate contributing financially to the 2013 drill program.

Spyder TL - custom powdercoat, Bob Long regulator, package deal
Long time no post. Used to be a moderator here. I think I was under member 100 (or maybe it was under 1000) from the old mothership. Amazing to see some names I still recognize.
Anyway, my old spyder has been sitting in this box for years. It needs to go somewhere where it will be used.
So I want to sell all this (including such items as a spring kit, remote line, lots of random parts):
Along with the TL. Upgrades include Bob Long regulator, expansion chamber, Taso grips, double trigger, polished bolt (the hot setup back in the day was to try to run your Spyder at the lowest possible pressure). The Bob Long regulator was a big deal back in the day. The whole thing was custom powdercoated a fade from crackle green to black. Put a black barrel (CP barrel included in this package for instance) and it looks pretty dope. The powdercoat job really has to be seen in person to be appriciated. And you will NEVER see another marker with the same paint job!
There are some hillbilly fixes on this, like the twisty tie pin holder, and the barrel guard thing is something I did myself.
Back in the day this marker shot pretty darn nice. Hasn't been used for probably over 5 years and I make no guarentees about anything with it.
I really have no idea what it's worth. 80 shipped? Someone tell me if I'm crazy. Offers entertained!

Re: Spyder TL - custom powdercoat, Bob Long regulator, package deal
marker prices have plummeted in recent years... you can buy a new semi auto spyder for $60. I'd personally start the asking price at $60 or $65 shipped for the lot.

But the main thing to the relationship (I beleive), is that Senjougahara sees Arararagi-kun as the hero who saved her. And thus I beleive thats her inititive to become lovers with the most valued person in her life. Her crush is the fact of choosing someone who went to great lengths, even after she even threatened and assulted him to stay out of her way and keep silent. He still came to her aid. Kinda what Kanbaru was so pissed off at arararagi in her arc. He did what she failed to do.
I can only assume Senjougahara sees Arararagi-kun as the most important person in her life and it may be her inititive to not loose to the likes of classrep-chan. Arararagi-kun I believe is one of the most luckyest guys around in anime. Senjougahara is portrayed as one of the most beautiful and intelligent girls around but was never approached because of her coldness.
Spoiler for Ep 12 spoiler:
Senjougahara (aka Tsunder-chan) is defferently one of my top 10 favourit chars. Going to try make a siggie sometime, but I not very good at those <.<
I wub pretty much the whole cast to Bakemonogatari, but she stands out the most.
ps - its really my opinions/assumptions

She's smarter too, not necessarily talented book smart (she works hard for her good grades), but she's got good awareness of what she wants and what's going on.

What I think is interesting is that she labels herself a Tsundere. How many people do that?
I think it's pretty clear she a Yangire (not -dere, since it isn't love troubles that made her crazy), and her way of dealing with it is by labeling herself a Tsundere. because Tsundere's aren't hated for acting crazy and violent- instead it's expected. (A not so subtle Take That against the whole Tsundere is moe craze).
Of course, by episode 12 I think it's pretty clear that she's starting to get better. For one thing instead of showing off her body and acting like it's no big deal she's begun admitting that she's really messed up inside, particularly being scared about a physical relationship. (Which is probably why Araragi is sticking with her, he's got a Messiah complex and he can tell she's the person who needs him most). She might be turning into a Tsundere- maybe it's even deliberate- maybe she's channeling all those negative feelings into behaving like a Tsundere and teasing Araragi, since he puts up with it.
I find her a fascinating character. Never know what she's going to do.

Better, but not nearly well.
One reason I hope there is a continuation is simply to see her continue to progress. I've heard in the novels that she gets actually happy, though I have trouble getting my head around that. Either way, it would be nice to see.

She's actually pretty happy now that she has Koyomi and has rekindled her friendship with Kanbaru. Her biggest problem is that she is unable to show how she feels. Koyomi, Kanbaru, and her father are about the only ones who understand her well enough to read her. Saitou Chiwa had a pretty interesting analysis of her in the atogatari for Suruga Monkey. She thinks that Hitagi feels just like everyone else, but when she tries bring those feelings out, they get warped somewhere along the way and we get what we normally see from her.

I don't disagree she isn't happy, we have plenty of evidence for that. I just don't think she's completely well just yet.
As you said, the feelings might be normal, but the expression of them certainly isn't. I think she's very much a work in progress at the moment. And while I hope she continues to get better, I can't help but think it would be better if she didn't completely. The little edge she has makes her interesting.

Check the light novel threads, several indications as to her development that progress way into nise2.
she is barely free of her demons as it is now (end of anime) ... however there are some things about her that will never change... even hanekawa couldn't train her out of them.

What is AYSO EXTRA™?Fee for 2019 Membership year $360
AYSO's National Board of Directors has authorized the development of the EXTRA program and its use on a pilot basis to provide options for players to play soccer at a more challenging level. EXTRA is designed to address declining enrollment and player retention without compromising the philosophies and commitment to enriching children's lives that make AYSO unique among all youth sports organizations. Set forth below are the guidelines and suggested best practices for the optional operation of EXTRA as part of the AYSO FLEX™ initiative.
AYSO's Strategic Plan, which supports the creation of optional "extended play" opportunities for Regions and Areas that have a need, makes it clear that although the operation and structure of extended play programs will be determined by the local program organizers, they must incorporate these basic parameters:
•Everyone on a team plays. Every player plays at least 50% of each game.
•The teams must be constituted with the goal of creating competitive balance.
•Selection to the teams must be based on open and impartial evaluations.
•Administration and coordination of the program must run through the appropriate AYSO Region, Area or Section.
•The program must meet appropriate standards for coach and referee training and certification as established by AYSO.
•The extended play program may only be offered in conjunction with a standard primary program.
•No paid coaches, referees or administrators are permitted.
Please become familiar with the documents and information to the right of this page. We will try to keep this up to date and current. Click HERE to join our mailing list, you will get a newsletter keeping you up to date with ALL the region items coming up! You can remove yourself with the click of a button if you decide you longer wish to receive it!
EXTRA Registration must be paid in full online by June 7th 2019. The fee for the year-long program is $360 this includes a fall circuit, 2 uniforms, field usage and two sets of pictures.
EXTRA Spring Season is for tournaments. Extra Fall Season Schedules are part of AREA 1R, so you can find them on the "Schedule" page of Area 1R. At this time schedules are being created and will be posted on the Area 1R website.
Please be responsible and check your schedule frequently. Also, if you have a game rescheduled it is up to the COACH to Notify the appropriate Referee Administrator of the change, or you may not have referees scheduled for your rescheduled game.
The Region is currently looking for coaches who are qualified and interested in coaching an EXTRA team. Player evaluations will be conducted around the May timeframe. Please be on the lookout for announcements regarding EXTRA.
Back to Top
EXTRA is designed to provide a more challenging level of play for those players who possess the appropriate interest, skills and abilities and to enhance each player's experience and individual growth through the game of soccer while retaining the spirit and organization of AYSO. The goal of EXTRA is to strengthen AYSO by retaining players and volunteers in additional primary programs operated under the AYSO philosophies. EXTRA is not designed to overshadow or harm the standard primary program.
The AYSO Philosophies
Compliance With Existing Rules
EXTRA programs are primary programs and unless otherwise specifically set forth herein, all EXTRA programs must comply with the AYSO Rules & Regulations, Bylaws and National Policies. Areas and Regions are required to maintain formal written guidelines and procedures for the operation of an EXTRA program that are (1) consistent with the National AYSO Rules & Regulations, Bylaws and National Policies and (2) these Guidelines. In case of conflict, the National AYSO Rules & Regulations, Bylaws and National Policies will take precedence. Basic operating guidelines and procedures for the pilot phase are set forth herein.
Back to Top--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXTRA programs may be established on a Region, Area or Section basis. Because it is expected that most programs will be operated at the Area level, with participation by some or all of the Regions in the Area, these guidelines will assume such a structure. However, to be approved, EXTRA programs run on a Section, Area, or Region basis will need to have a comparable structure. EXTRA programs can also be run on a multi-Area or Region basis, subject to supervision by the relevant Sections, Areas and Regions. For example, if an EXTRA program will be run on a multi-Area basis, a structure must be created to vest final oversight jurisdiction in a designated individual or committee, with appropriate supervision by the relevant Areas and Sections.
EXTRA programs must be operated in conjunction with a standard primary program. A Region may run a standard primary program only or a standard primary program and an EXTRA program, but may not run an EXTRA program only.
EXTRA programs may require that the players participating also participate in the standard primary program ("EXTRA Concurrent") or may not require such participation ("EXTRA Side-by-Side"). EXTRA Concurrent programs must establish guidelines for standard primary participation (for example, players may not participate in EXTRA play if they miss a certain amount of standard primary practices and games), and for the monitoring of compliance with these guidelines.
EXTRA Concurrent programs should be structured to limit the effects of requiring players to participate in practice and games for two teams during the season.
Annual reports, in a form to be determined, shall be provided to the NBOD by the EXTRA program and copied to the relevant Area Director and Section Director, with a copy provided to the National Office or other entity designated by the National Board of Directors. During the pilot phase, these reporting requirements will be set by the NBOD.
The sponsoring Area shall appoint an Area EXTRA Coordinator to coordinate all EXTRA activity in the Area. Each participating Region shall appoint a Region EXTRA Coordinator to coordinate all EXTRA activity in the participating Region.
It is expected that additional volunteers will be necessary to operate an EXTRA program. Depending on the size of the EXTRA program, Areas and Regions should consider the appointment of assistant Coach and Referee Administrators to help run the EXTRA program. Before deciding to apply for permission to operate an EXTRA program, strong consideration must be given to the ability to find sufficient volunteers without harming the standard primary program. Executive Members and EXTRA Coordinators will be required to complete an orientation course that is currently in development before approval is given to run an EXTRA program.
EXTRA programs are primary programs, and therefore, Region funds may be used to support EXTRA activities, but only to the extent that they are consistent with the funds expended for the standard primary program. Any additional costs needed to run the EXTRA program must be borne solely by the EXTRA players and approved by the Regional Commissioner and Regional Board and in accordance with AYSO's Rules & Regulations, Bylaws and National Policies. EXTRA funds must be placed in the Area or Region's operating account segregated by separate NAP accounting codes from the standard primary program funds.
Financial reports, including budgets and other reports to be determined, will be provided to the next higher executive member above the sponsoring entity. For example, reports for an Area-run program shall be provided to the Section Director. During the pilot phase, reporting requirements will be set by the NBOD.
Player Eligibility
Each Regional Commissioner of a Region electing to participate in the EXTRA program is responsible for compliance with player eligibility requirements. Player eligibility and age requirements to participate in a specific age division shall be as defined in the AYSO National Rules and Regulations.
Eligible players must have registered with AYSO and have participated in a scheduled and appropriate evaluation process determined by the Region. The AYSO National Office player database shall be the source of determining the players' current registration status. There is no requirement that EXTRA players have previously played or registered as AYSO players
Program Structure
EXTRA programs may include U-10 through U-19 players. Divisions shall be created in accordance with AYSO Rules & Regulations Article III, including the ability to create single-year subdivisions in accordance with AYSO Rules & Regulations III.E, depending on local conditions and needs. Regions that create multiple teams in the same division shall make all reasonable efforts to create balanced teams. Creation of "major and minor" teams in the same division is prohibited by AYSO Rules & Regulations II.F.
Areas may limit the number of teams that participating Regions enter into a division. Regions may not have more teams in an EXTRA division than they do in a standard primary program division. The determination of the appropriate number of EXTRA teams in a division should be based on the population of a division in a Region, the effect the creation of the teams will have on the standard primary program, field availability, whether the program is an EXTRA Concurrent or EXTRA Side-by-Side program, whether it is Region-based or Area-based, and the effect on the program-wide team balancing.
At no time is inter-regional recruitment of players already registered in Regions allowed without the prior approval of each of the Regional Commissioners, Area Directors and the Section Director concerned.
Team Formation
Teams must be formed according to the approved selection procedures, as described below.
In accordance with AYSO Rules & Regulations I.H, it is strongly recommended that EXTRA teams in U-10 and U-12 divisions be formed in accordance with AYSO's Short Sided Games recommendations and roster sizes. In all cases, teams must comply with Article II of the National Rules & Regulations (or any amendments thereto).
Sponsoring Areas that operate EXTRA programs with single year age divisions must include guidelines for eligibility of players in the younger half of a two-year division. For example, is a player who is U-11 also eligible to play in the U-12 age division?
Regions that submit multiple teams in a division must take all reasonable steps to balance the teams.
Teams must undergo new selections each membership year. There are no guaranteed roster positions for any player from one membership year to the next.
Player Selection Procedures
EXTRA programs shall use player selection procedures that are designed to be impartial, fair and are considerate of the players and their families. Multiple evaluation opportunities are strongly recommended. Using impartial, qualified evaluators, for team selection is required. Team coaches may act in an advisory capacity, but evaluators need to be totally impartial.
Player selection opportunities must be widely advertised to all potential players and must be spelled out in the Regional and Area operating guidelines.
Proposed player selection procedures, based on the best practices as determined by the National Coach Advisory Commission, will be developed and provided to EXTRA administrators and coordinators to assist in this process.
Any child whose playing age is between U-10 and U-19 is eligible for selection opportunities to an EXTRA team, should such a team exist. Each of these players must be a currently registered player in the Region before being permitted to participate in the selection process.
All players must be newly selected each membership year. Teams will be reformed and balanced each membership year. It is possible that not all players who apply will be selected to a team.
All players who participate in the player selection process will be notified promptly after the final selection date whether he or she was selected to a team. Notification must first be given to those players who were not selected with the assurance they will be placed on a standard primary program team in the normal Regional process.
Rosters and ID Cards
Before the season begins, teams participating in the EXTRA program must provide to the Region and/or Area EXTRA Coordinator documents generated by eAYSO that include:
•Region and division identification.
•Coach's and Assistant Coach's information: names, address, home and work phone numbers and e-mail addresses, AYSO ID numbers, AYSO coach training, and AYSO Safe Haven certification information and dates.
•Player information: name, address, phone number, birth date, gender, AYSO Registration Number and date of registration.
•Team number, uniform colors, jersey number, and team name (if available).
•Signature of the Regional Commissioner verifying player registrations and AYSO coach training and certifications.
No team without a properly completed and signed team roster generated from eAYSO and submitted to the appropriate EXTRA Coordinator shall be allowed to participate in EXTRA play.
Copies of all revised rosters shall be forwarded to the EXTRA Coordinator as soon as possible. Revisions shall occur when:
•A player drops from a team. Players who drop from the team will not be permitted to return during the membership season unless such return is authorized by the Regional Commissioner and Area Director for good cause shown, and only if the player's return does not violate roster limits or significantly affect team balancing.
•The total amount of player drops, for whatever reason, lowers the number of permanent rostered players to one more than the number of field players permitted in the division. At that point, the team will be allowed to add one (1) player. The additional player must be approved by the Regional Commissioner, the Area Director and/or the Region/Area EXTRA Coordinator.
Use of player and coach ID cards with information generated from eAYSO is mandatory in EXTRA, and the local EXTRA program should create a written policy concerning creation and use of ID cards. Templates and cards are available through the AYSO Registration Dept or`AYSO Store.
For each EXTRA team, the coach must have a team roster and original signature copies of AYSO Player Registration Forms (medical release forms) for each participating player and an ID card for the players and coach(es) at all AYSO sponsored or sanctioned events (games, practices, scrimmages, etc.)
Vacancy Policy
Each EXTRA program must have a stated policy for replacement of players to team rosters. No EXTRA player may be transferred from one EXTRA team to another once the season has started, without the consent of the player, the player's parents, both coaches involved and the Regional Commissioner and Area Director (or the Region and Area EXTRA Coordinators, if the responsibility is so delegated). Parental consent is not required if the player is of legal age.
Team balancing must be the paramount consideration in any such transfers, which are strongly discouraged.
In EXTRA Side-by-Side programs, replacement players may only be added through evaluation of new players, and not players in the standard primary program.
Coaches and Referees
Coaches and referees participating in EXTRA should be of the highest quality. At the minimum EXTRA coaches, assistant coaches and referees must:
•Have a current volunteer form on file at the National Office
•Be an AYSO trained and certified coach or referee as specified in these Guidelines
•Be Safe Haven certified with the appropriate course (Referee Safe Haven does not certify the coach)
•Be an active participant in the Region's standard primary program as an instructor, coach or referee mentor, or other volunteer services the Region determines adequate to fulfill this requirement
•Be in good standing with the Region, Area and/or Section and AYSO
•Be approved by the Region board
•Be evaluated and renewed each membership year.
For participation in the EXTRA program, coaches who desire to coach at the following levels must hold the following certifications: U-10 and U-12-U-12 Coach; U-14-Intermediate Coach; U-16 and U-19-Advanced Coach. .Referees participating in the EXTRA Program should (strongly encouraged) have the following training to referee a specific division:● 9U – Regional Badge and minimum of two years of officiating● 10U – Regional Badge and a minimum of two years of officiating & Intermediate course● 11U / 12U– Intermediate & Advanced● 13U / 14U / 15U– Advanced and National
It is strongly recommended that EXTRA program coaches and referees be encouraged to be certified at least one level above the level he/she is intending to coach or referee (except as set forth above, U-10 coaches must be certified at the U-12 level). It is also strongly recommended that coaches and referees have continuing education each year as designed by the Region.
Prior to the start of the EXTRA season, it is strongly recommended that the Region and/or Area EXTRA Coordinator conduct mandatory EXTRA coach and referee meetings.
Regional Support
Regions must provide an adequate number of referees who are capable of supporting the various age divisions of teams entered. Hosting Regions and Areas are responsible for providing referee coverage for EXTRA games.
All EXTRA games shall be officiated using the Diagonal System of Control, i.e. one referee and two assistant referees. The use of "club linesmen" is encouraged when an insufficient number of assistant referees is available. The Dual (two-man) System of Control is not allowed.
Regional Referee Administrators shall not assign "neutral" referees-- volunteers who are parents/guardians of players nor coaches of the participating teams, nor have other close connections to the teams--of appropriate skill and ability to all EXTRA games assigned to their Region. Unless otherwise approved by the appropriate administrator, Referees shall be a minimum of two years older than the oldest players in the division to which they have been assigned.
Regions must provide an adequate number of fields for the number of teams entered. Fields and equipment need to be age appropriate as specified in the AYSO Coaching programs for short-sided play or in the FIFA Laws of the
Game. Participating Regions are responsible for properly preparing and maintaining all fields used. Field set-up and take down is the responsibility of the hosting Region.
Availability of fields must first serve the needs of the standard primary programs. Additional charges for making available new fields or additional usage of currently held fields must be passed on to the teams participating in the EXTRA program.
Scheduling of Games and Standings
The schedule for EXTRA games should be established as early as possible and made available to all participants, including being posted on a Web site, if possible. EXTRA programs shall create written guidelines concerning game cancellations or forfeits due to weather, lack of available players, misconduct or other reasons, and game rescheduling, if any. If the EXTRA program desires to maintain and publish standings or give awards, written procedures must be created to ensure accurate reporting of results and fairness of tiebreaking procedures. All awards are to be consistent with the standard primary program practices and/or guidelines.
Paid Trainers
Use of paid trainers must be consistent with the existing National AYSO Policy Statement.
Misconduct, Discipline and Dispute Resolution
All EXTRA programs shall have written guidelines to deal with player, volunteer and spectator misconduct, and shall include procedures for submission of reports of misconduct, penalties, and monitoring that are consistent program-wide. During the pilot phase, the recommended guidelines will be provided to ensure consistency in the application for monitoring, measurement and reporting purposes to the National Board of Directors.
Relationship of EXTRA to All-Star and Secondary Play
All Stars is a defined AYSO program that is hosted by Areas and/or Sections (see National Policy Statement 2.7). Players participating in EXTRA Concurrent programs are eligible for All Star play. Regions must guarantee that the All Star selection process includes all EXTRA Concurrent players and all standard primary program players who do not participate in the EXTRA program.
Players participating in an EXTRA Side-by-Side program who do not also participate in the standard primary program shall not be eligible for participation in All-Star play with players participating in the standard primary program.
Sections, Areas and Regions that operate All Star programs are encouraged to create additional post-season play opportunities for players participating in an EXTRA Side-by-Side program, including separate or tiered All Star programs and/or tournaments.
Nothing herein prevents the inclusion of EXTRA teams in tournaments. Each tournament has its own rules of eligibility and those rules will determine which types of teams qualify for inclusion in their tournament. Typically, Open Invitationals and International tournaments have open or flighted opportunities for these types of teams.
The Extended Play Task Force and the National Tournament Advisory Commission will work together to expand the opportunity for EXTRA teams and players to participate in tournaments.
Currently, EXTRA programs are pilot programs. Because participants in EXTRA Concurrent programs also participate in the standard primary program, they are eligible for the AYSO National Games. Participants in EXTRA Side-by- Side programs are not eligible for the AYSO National Games at this time.

The Stationery Studio Gives Back to Community this Holiday
9 Dec
I love this time of year. The decorations, making cookies, buying presents for loved ones. But I think more than anything, I really enjoy giving back. I am happy to work at a company that feels the same way and truly reached out to it's community this year. The Stationery Studio gave back this holiday season by hosting a coat drive and helping their local food bank. The coat drive was run through One Warm Coat and benefited JOURNEYS. The Stationery Studio donated money to the Vernon Township Food Pantry to help those in need in their community.
"We wanted to help those in our community," said The Stationery Studio owner and President Marc Redman. "Hosting the coat drive and helping our local food pantry help those who live where we live and work." Over 300 coats were collected through the coat drive and came at the perfect time since the weather in the Chicago area is starting to drop.
The Vernon Township Food Pantry said the money donated helps to provide for over 140 families who are in need. William Peterson, Vernon Township Supervisor, was there to accept the donation from The Stationery Studio owners Marc and Renee Redman. "We truly appreciate this monetary donation," said Peterson. "We were able to help all the families in the area this year."

The eponymous menswear label, Raf Simons, was launched in 1995. The Belgian designer is heavily inspired by past rebellious youth subcultures of the nineties and looks to fuse this with the precision and techniques of traditional menswear. Constantly looking to redefine masculinity, personal statements about individuality are inherent to his creative process. Despite a continuous quest for innovation, elements fundamental to the Raf Simons brand remain firmly intact. Modern proportions, classic construction and unique, quality fabrics designed with the confident outsider in mind.
Raf Simons continued tapping into memory for the AW15 season with jackets collaged with fragments of his personal history combined with imagined images, 'like moodboards you'd pin your favourite images to.' The collection had an anarchic feel with rebellious teenage references seen in felt-tip scribbled lab coats, torn and shredded jackets, moth-eaten sweater vests and unfinished hems. Patent leather coats in red and black proceeded long, geometric-printed waistcoats worn with gently flared pants. Juxtaposing the angsty lab coats were clean cut turtle necks in soft camels and clean whites and nerdy V-neck, sleeveless sweaters with winged bird motifs. The cerebral and dynamic collection perfectly contrasted masculine elegance with a chaotic aesthetic.

Ferrari's Spirit of Nerina Wins Naples Edition of 2014 Melges 32 Audi Tron Sailing Series
14 April 2014
Naples, Italy - The 2014 Melges 32 Audi Tron Sailing Series, Event No. 1 in Naples, Italy has concluded with the completion of six races leaving Andrea Ferrari's Spirit of Nerina as champion!
A complete lack of breeze prevented the final two races in the eight part series to run, obligating PRO Costanzo Villa to declare the regatta finished.
After Saturday nights protests, some of the results changed.
However, Ferrari's Melges 32 - Spirit of Nerina remained in first overall over second place Edoardo Lupi's Torpyone, and Alessandro Rombelli's Azimut by STIG in third.
Among other winners are Valentin Zavadnikov's Synergy GT in fourth, and fleet new comer Arturo di Lorenzo's Malafammena with a brilliant fifth place finish.
With Naples complete, the next act of the 2014 Melges 32 Audi Tron Sailing Series will resume in Porto Ercole, Italy on May 16-18.
The Naples edition is organised by B.Plan Sport&Events in cooperation with Melges Europe hosted by the Comitato Grande Vela.
In addition to main sponsor Audi, the Audi Tron is supported by official sponsors Kuehne+Nagel, Torqeedo electric motors and technical partners such as the Ente Fiera di Genova, Nespresso and Olicor.
TOP FIVE RESULTS (After Six Races - FINAL)
1.) Andrea Ferrari/Roberto Spata, Spirit of Nerina; 4-2-1-[7]-1-2 = 10
2.) Alessandro Rombelli/Freddy Loof, Azimut by STIG; 3-[12]-2-5-3-6 = 19
3.) Edoardo Lupi/Lorenzo Bressani, Torpyone; 6-3-5-1-[11]-5 = 21
4.) Valentin Zavadnikov - Leonid Lebedev/Michele Ivaldi, Synergy GT; 1-[9]-8-4-7-4 = 24
5.) Arturo di Lorenzo/Matteo Ivaldi, Malafemmena; 9-10-[11]-3-2-3 = 27
