The wearing of charms may have begun as a form of amulet to ward off evil spirits or bad luck. Charm bracelets have been the subject of several waves of trends, Queen Victoria wore charm bracelets that started a fashion among European noble classes, soldiers returning home after World war brought home trinkets made by craftsmen local to the area where they were fighting to give to loved ones.
Charms go back as far as the Neolithic era where man would pick up an unusual stone or piece of wood and carry it with him to ward off his enemies, elaborate jewelry made of precious stones and metals, emerged during the age of the Egyptian Pharaohs, it was during this time that the first recognizable charm bracelets and necklaces first appeared.
The citizens of ancient Egypt lived very short lives by today's standard, with so little time on earth, they obsessively prepared for a prosperous life after death, charm bracelets played a significant role in the preparation process, charm wrist and neck bracelets were not only used as protective shields and signs of status in this life, they were also worn as I.D. tags to help the gods guide the wearer and his possessions to the proper status in the afterlife.
During the Roman empire, Christians would pull the "fish" charm from underneath their garments to identify themselves to other Christians to gain entry into secret, forbidden worship activities.
The Jewish scholar of that same time, would write passages from Jewish law on tiny slips of parchment, and insert the slips into a small, golden amulet that was worn around his neck, to keep the law close to the heart.
Wearing of charms began to lose favor with the wealthy classes during the Renaissance, however, charms and amulets were still widely used by people of lesser means and education.
In the early 20th century, the bracelets of Queen Victoria ignited the next big wave of charm wearing. They went from being practical tools to becoming decorative fashion jewelry, the charm bracelet disappeared from the fashion scene during the 1970's, but in the mid 1980's charm bracelets reappeared, showing up in antique stores and flea markets.
The boom in collectibles in the 1990's drove a huge demand for vintage charm bracelets and were highly prized by serious collectors, the fashion industry once again discovered the lure of the charm bracelets, flooding the market with new styles in all price ranges, declaring them the must-have accessory for any occasion.
We have a selection of Charm Necklaces and Charm Bracelets Available:

1995 Canalicchio Di Sopra Riserva Brunello Di Montalcino ($44 U.S. Wine Expo [many moons ago]; and alcohol level: 13.5%). We've been holding this for a long time for our Golden Anniversary. That was two nights ago, but we didn't want to transport it 30 miles to the restaurant where we celebrated with our kids and grandkids. It was a seafood restaurant anyway and we enjoyed a nice California Riesling with our lobster.
Getting back to the Brunello, it was completely aged out and as smooth as the proverbial back end of a baby. Only slight bricking noticed. It had dried fine herbs (parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme), along with black tar and truffles on the nose and upfront. In the middle there were dried flowers, dried cherries, some meaty notes, the before mentioned smooth tannin, and perfect balance. Amazingly the finish was fresh and lively. We did run it through an unbleached two inch filter into a carafe.
We matched it tonight with roasted half boneless leg of lamb with garlic, and fresh rosemary and oregano minced together pressed into the fat with a little EVOO. For sides we had roasted Yukon gold potatoes and a salad with all but the onion coming from our garden. Yum!

Official Anime Buyfag Thread
I don't really see a problem with having a thread that shows off one's anime collection or purchases besides the fact it might run into problems with the 2 images per post rule but anyways, here is the [currently] unofficial Anime Buyfag Thread.
Rules of the thread:
1. Anime-related purchases only (i.e. DVDs/BDs, games (as long as it has an anime or inspired by anime), figurines, graphic novels, etc.)
2. 2 images per post only. If you have more than two images to show off, hyperlink them -- this means to put them in a [ url][/ url] tag.
2a. If you have a very large image, spoiler tag that shit.
3. Provide some explanation for your purchase -- one sentence will do. This is a caution implemented to make the thread have some discussion value and not a typical picture sharing thread.
4. Have fun talking about your purchases/collection so as long as it follows the Crunchyroll rules.
Yes, I do notice there is another thread about collecting anime DVDs/BDs but considering it started off as a question, I decide to create an unofficial thread for other items; feel free to use both threads. This thread is primarily for figurines but can include other anime-related items.
My recent purchase:
Oh, the annoyances of using Registered SAL. . . I had to go to my local post office today to pick up Inia; it was annoying because I didn't know where it was (I don't have a smartphone either) so I ended up walking about 20 minutes around the neighborhood before finally reaching it. Nonetheless, here are photos of my purchase.
It was very annoying placing her on the stand; I feared breaking the legs or the pegs but I managed to open up her legs and put her in her place. Gosh, that sounded perverted but I am a pervert so that's expected.
Different angle:
Next to Cryska:
The motherland. . . is beautiful.
And here's where I would place the two but unfortunately, they'll end up in their plastic prisons so my mother won't find out that I play with dollies or collect them.
With both Inia and Cryska in my collection, I believe I am ready for any BETA attack. Laser class ain't got nothing on these two. I think I'm done with Muv Luv figurines unless there are Meiya or Yuuhi ones in stock.
In loving memory of Cryska.
Beautiful figures of Cryska and Inia!
I like import BDs myself...
All of Dusk Maiden of Amnesia. Such an emotional series. The extra episode in volume 6 is great. It is just called episode 13 "Taima Otome" and makes me wish for more. Fun series, beautiful visuals, great characters, wonderful music.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/hpulley/8248596534 by http://www.flickr.com/people/hpulley me, on Flickr
And all the Tari Tari out so far... Amazing music, another emotional series with great characters. The postcards from the end credit scenes are beautiful too. Sound is amazing on Blu-ray! Can't wait for volumes 5 and 6 next year!

My best treasure:
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
I really never thought I'd see a buyfag thread outside of /a/. I'll post a picture of my massive Sj magazine collection later.
I just received my Fate/Extra LE game for the PSP today; I decided to grab this when I saw a figma included with the Fate/Extra/CCC game which is set to be released in February/March.
This is the box:
The contents within the box: (Consists of a LE soundtrack/artbook and the game in an UMD case).
The soundtrack/artbook: (The artbook is glue with the case; I believe this is a chipboard type of case).
And, the first page of the artbook which contains a NSFW picture of Saber Red.
I've also ordered two figurines from AmiAmi; they're being delivered now and should arrive in two-three weeks. The orders are both from Hyakka Ryoran: Samurai Girls and the characters are: Yagyu Jubei and Tokugawa Sen. They look lovely and they look to be a great addition to my collection; I bought them because I enjoyed the series and these two are my favorite characters of the series. The show will be getting a second season so I'm expecting much more ink blots as censorship and more of the central characters.
In loving memory of Cryska.
I've been a fan of Black★Rock Shooter and Huke's art for a long time, so I decided to splurge a little and get these.
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
the Black★Rock Shooter limited edition PSP game box set contains the PSP game, along with an art book, and White★Rock Shooter Figma only available in this box set. the figma next to it is the game-model Black★Rock Shooter with her signature cannon, sword, and a wing-frame used for aerial combat.
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
limited edition Huke artbook box set. the artbook is a high quality hardcover book which contains 200+ pages of Huke art, mostly from Black★Rock Shooter and Steins;Gate. the figma is a limited edition Black★Rock Shooter "BEAST" figma, only available in this box set.
I need to get the rest of the Black★Rock Shooter series figma, but they're damn expensive. I'll get them eventually, though.
glass, once broken, can never be restored perfectly
Seeing as I plan to get the Fate/Extra CCC PSP game which comes with a Saber Extra Figma, I'm curious as to how much your BRS PSP game costed, aidenraine. The Fate/Extra CCC LE will cost me about $100 without shipping and I'm sensitive when it comes to shipping since it can be drastic amount when importing; did your import cost you much? I hope my shipping will be $20 at most because I had to pay about 4k yen (~$44) shipping for my two figs mentioned above.
In loving memory of Cryska.
it was just under $139 total, only $25 for shipping. I was actually surprised when I ordered it, because standard shipping was something around $45, but expedited was only $25..
glass, once broken, can never be restored perfectly
Ah, I see, hopefully my shipping will be around the $20 mark; also, this is a great time for imports as the dollar to yen conversion is at a good rate: it's currently 86.70 yen = $1 and it has been increasing, from what I noticed, for the past week. Start buying more stuff, guys! I have to go easy on my wallet now though since I just spent nearly $700 on computer accessories and other imports this month.
In loving memory of Cryska.

$700! Damn dude. Them are some big boy bucks now. "LAWL"
Maybe you should invest in a camera next time so that you can show off a little better. "LAWL"
Anyways, I thought that I should post here just because of my "first" official "Anime" purchase. It's not really a "BuyFag" kind of thing, but it's faggoty enough. I got it just because I was bored and a couple of folks from a certain thread egged me on to get it. I never really do buy Anime stuff nor even own anything of the like before this. The most Anime related thing that I ever owned was like a Hello Kitty pen that I took from this Asian chick or are some old Pokemon stuff when I was younger. Though, pop-culture stuff doesn't really count.
Anywho, this little girl cost me around 50 bones. It's not too bad.

I contemplated investing in one of 'em fancy CANON T3i before switch to getting a cheaper 16 megapixel CANON PowerShot A3400 IS; it gets decent quality photos under the correct lighting and angles; being the clumsy person I am, I fail to photograph stationary objects well enough to show off their true beauty. The Fate/Extra LE photos are evident of my lower than amateur level skills. I can only justify myself by saying that I only took one photo instead of multiple ones which is how a photographer should work. I won't let you down next time, LOL. I'll take photos of the figurines in better lighting and maybe a better landscape as well -- my desk just does no justice at all.
And to keep things relevant, a photo of my Bakemonogatari BD LE from Aniplex:
In loving memory of Cryska.
I need to get around to buying Bakemonogatari but I cant get it here yet. Only one I can find is an Import for £100 (around $180)
Maths is hard
Goddamn it, I am so pissed off right now; I decided to use SAL for one of my figurines and it ended up at the post office. . . I hate you USPS, I really do. I apparently went to the local post office and picked up my package and returned home just now to find out that another package was delivered while I gone; it's frustrating because USPS doesn't redeliver and their service, in my location, is terrible -- I had to wait 20-30 minutes in line just to pick up a SAL parcel (which I was told by friends that they usually leave at the door for the delivery attempt). I'll be going back to the office tomorrow just to pick up my two figurines.
Anyways, what I picked up from the office today:
Nate (Neito) Mitotsudaira from Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere out of the box:
The figurine comes in several components, namely the hair -- A LOT OF HAIR --, the body, and the base; I've already attacked the figurine onto the base and there's an extra hole for a small stand that balances the hair. There's also a pamphlet which was nice but it was in Japanese so I couldn't understand a bit; it contained some drawings, possibly from the LN.
Frontal View (with terrible lighting. . .):
Back view; look at that rocket engine hair!
Right and left side of the fig:
And, finally, a closeup of the face.
In loving memory of Cryska.
Spending money can count as a hobby right?
Going back to the OP, I'm not into spending in my hobbies, nor have some kind of drive of getting them. Though, I were to buy one I would get something so random and obscure that not even hardcore Anime fans can recognize the character.
add status message
Just bought: Samurai Champloo and Trigun.

How often do you see a furniture piece at a garage sale and think it's cool but not quite right? Well, believe it or not, it's pretty easy to take those outdated pieces and turn them into something stylish with only a little bit of time, a few cans of spray paint, and some other inexpensive supplies.
Andee Dodson shows us how she spruced up a yard-sale hallway table in the latest episode of Make It Fabulous. Check out the video below to see her work her magic!
The most interesting part was that she etched a new pattern into the glass top of the table. Etching cream is readily available at craft stores, and it's surprisingly easy to use (keep the kids away, though!). Your results are limited only by your creativity. The rest was pretty easy: just add a little spray paint on the base and the wood frame where the glass rests, and voila! An instant update.
Check out the how-to and tell us what you think in the comments.

One of New Zealand's youngest murderers, Taranaki's 13-year-old Jordan Nelson, has been jailed for 18 years for shooting dead his caregiver.
Nelson was handed down the lengthy term when he was sentenced in the High Court at New Plymouth on Thursday, NZ's RadioLive reports.
Nelson was 13 years and 89 days when he shot Rosemaree Kurth, 50, at their remote farm property at Okoki, northeast of New Plymouth in April.
He shot her with a .22 rifle in the back of the head as she did a jigsaw puzzle at the kitchen table.
He was due to go to trial last month, but entered a guilty plea in the week before the scheduled court case.
The Crown could find no strong reason for the killing.
A law change in 1977 allowed children over 10 to be charged with murder or manslaughter.
Bailey Junior Kurariki, then 12, became the youngest person to be convicted of manslaughter for the 2001 killing of pizza delivery man Michael Choy.
In 1991, a 13-year-old Wellington schoolboy who has permanent name suppression was convicted of the murder of nurse Rachel Bennett, who was stabbed 16 times.

1) She has no middle ground, either she's super nice or she's completely evil. Be careful this doesn't mean that when she's completely evil she's screaming and tearing the club up. It means she has no middle ground. These are the ones who use phrases like, "Nothing" "Don't worry about it" "Just drop it" or the infamous "I'll take care of it." And afterwards they don't want to talk, but they still have that look on their face like someone farted and they're the only one who smells it.
2) You wake up or look away and look back at her and she's looking at you. You ever been watching TV with your girl and you're watching like a movie or something, or maybe sports, and you glance at her and she's staring at you, instead of the TV. Or you wake up in the middle of the night and you notice she's staring at you. THIS GIRL DOESN'T WANT TO LET YOU OUT OF HER SIGHTS. You guessed it, she's crazy.
3) If you think her nickname could be 21 questions, she's probably crazy. Now women have explained to me several reasons why they nag and I'm beginning to understand it, but hitting old homeboy with a gang of questions that seem to have no end… UNACCEPTABLE. And you know how you know she's crazy when you can't answer one before she starts asking another.
Your Lady: How was your day? Why you didn't get home to 6PM today? Where was your coworker Tony? What about that chick Kim? Does Kim have a man? She always be talking about happy hour. Where does Kim live? Did she use to be a freak in college? What school she went to? You ever tried to talk to Kim? Why can't I meet Kim? Don't Kim work in a different department or project than you now anyway? Are you friends with her on facebook? Let me see her page. You never did nothing with Kim? You never kiss her, touched her, or nothing? You f*cked Kim didn't you?
You: Baby, who's Kim?
4) Men, I need you to shut up and really listen to me right now. If you feel any of the following ways, your girl is crazy:
a. You have to hide things from your girl because you fear she will get mad
b. You can't talk about certain things around her because you fear she will get mad
c. You ever felt like you could do something that would cause her to stab or shoot you
d. You ever felt obligated to not do something because you fear she will get mad
e. If you have to tell your friends that if she asks, you were with them last night, when you really were with them last night, just because your girl will flip out at the slightest difference in story…
That's right, you guessed it, your girl is crazy!
What do y'all think? Any other signs that a girl is crazy? I kind of left this one open because I really want to hear your thoughts and stories. The floor is now open.

Vasectomy reversal — Overview covers definition, risks, results of this procedure to restore fertility.
Vasectomy reversal is surgery to undo a vasectomy. It reconnects the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles into the semen. After a successful vasectomy reversal, sperm are again present in the semen and you may be able to get your partner pregnant.
Reported pregnancy rates after vasectomy reversal range from 40 to 90 percent. Many factors affect whether a reversal is successful, including the type of vasectomy you had, and the experience of the doctor doing the reversal surgery.
Men decide to have a vasectomy reversal for a number of reasons, including loss of a child, remarriage or improved finances making it feasible to raise a child. A small number of men have a vasectomy reversal to treat testicular pain that may be linked to vasectomy.
Almost all vasectomies can be reversed. However, this doesn't guarantee success in conceiving a child. Vasectomy reversal can be attempted even if several years have passed since the original vasectomy — but the longer it's been, the less likely it is that the reversal will work.
Vasectomy reversal rarely leads to serious complications. Risks include:
When considering vasectomy reversal, here are a few of things to think about:
When choosing a doctor, don't be afraid to ask questions about how many vasectomy reversals the doctor has done, the type of techniques used and how often the vasectomy reversals have resulted in pregnancy. Also ask about the risks and potential complications of the procedure.
Before surgery
Before vasectomy reversal surgery, your doctor will likely want to:
Make sure you know what steps you need to take before surgery. Your doctor will probably ask you to:
Doctors usually perform vasectomy reversals at a surgery center or hospital. The procedure is generally done on an outpatient basis — without an overnight stay.
Your doctor may use general anesthetics to make you unconscious during surgery. Or your surgeon may give you an anesthetic that keeps you from feeling pain, but doesn't put you to sleep — such as an epidural, spinal or local anesthetic.
Vasectomy reversal is more difficult than vasectomy. It requires specialized skills and expertise. Doctors can perform this surgery in one of two ways:
You probably won't know ahead of time which technique is needed. In most cases, the surgeon decides during the operation which technique will work best. Sometimes a combination of the two surgical techniques is needed — a vasovasostomy on one side and a vasoepididymostomy on the other.
During the procedure
During surgery, your doctor will make a small cut (incision) on the underside of your scrotum. This will expose the testicle and release it from surrounding tissues. Next, the doctor will cut open the tube that carries sperm (vas deferens) and examine the fluid inside. When sperm are present in the fluid, the ends of the vas deferens can be connected to re-establish the passageway for sperm.
If the fluid is thick or pasty, or if it contains no sperm or partial sperm, scar tissue may be blocking sperm flow. In this case, your doctor may choose to perform a vasoepididymostomy.
After surgery
Immediately after surgery, your doctor will cover the incisions with bandages. You'll put on an athletic supporter to hold bandages in place and to apply pressure to reduce swelling and limit movement.
You may be sore for several days. If your doctor places bandages after your surgery, ask when it's OK to take them off. Any stitches should dissolve in seven to 10 days.
After you return home, take it easy. Periodically using an ice pack on your scrotum will help reduce swelling. As the anesthetic wears off, you may have some pain and cramping. For most men, the pain isn't severe and gets better after a few days to a week.
Your doctor may also give you the following instructions:
Freezing sperm
If your doctor finds sperm during surgery, you may choose to have some frozen in case your vasectomy reversal doesn't work (cryopreservation). If you're not able to father a child through sexual intercourse, your frozen sperm may be injected directly into your partner's egg. This is a type of in vitro fertilization called intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
Talk to your doctor about whether freezing sperm may be an option for you. Ask about the possible benefits and cost of the procedure. It isn't always available, and doctors have differing opinions about its effectiveness.
About six weeks after surgery, your doctor will examine your semen under a microscope to see if the operation was successful. To collect a semen sample, your doctor will have you masturbate and ejaculate into a container.
Your doctor may want to check your semen every two to three months. Unless you get your partner pregnant, checking your semen for sperm is the only way to tell if your vasectomy reversal was a success.
When a vasectomy reversal is successful, sperm usually appear in the semen after a few months, but it can sometimes take a year or more. Vasectomy reversal leads to pregnancy in about half of couples within two years.
If vasectomy reversal doesn't work
Vasectomy reversals sometimes fail if there is a sperm blockage that wasn't recognized during surgery, or if a blockage develops sometime after surgery. Some men have a second-attempt vasectomy reversal surgery if the procedure doesn't work the first time.
You may also be able to father a child through in vitro fertilization by using frozen sperm retrieved during your vasectomy reversal. If you didn't have sperm frozen or your frozen sperm aren't viable, in vitro fertilization may still be possible using sperm retrieved directly from your testicle with a needle.

Azureus offers multiple torrent downloads, queuing/priority systems (on torrents and files), start/stop seeding options and instant access to numerous pieces of information about your torrents.
Azureus now features an embedded tracker easily set up and ready to use.
It supports numerous languages, including, for instance, English, German, Italian, Japanese and French.

1License and operating system information is based on latest version of the software.
The only bad thing about Azureus is Java. Azureus itself uses very little cpu and ram. It's the javaw.exe which Azureus needs to run which uses the most system resources. If you are having high cpu troubles then make sure you are using the latest Java Run Time Environment from http://java.sun.com It should be version 1.5 update 2. I run Azureus on an AMD K6-2 550 cpu with 512mb RAM running WinXP and the main resource problems I have with Azureus is javaw.exe 's RAM usage.
Azureus.exe and Javaw.exe should use hardly any CPU at all if your system is configured properly. javaw.exe is definately a RAM hog. This isn't Azureus's problem, it's Sun's problem because they make Java, so complain to them for the memory problems, here's their forums: http://forum.java.sun.com
BitComet is great if you are a leech or like getting banned from as many trackers as possible. Azureus once got banned from trackers too but the developer fixed it ages ago, probably because it's open-source and things get fixed alot quicker if there is a decent number of devs or someone who isn't even a dev. can send in a fix because anyone can download the source code.
In the BitComet forums at http://bitcomet.p2pforums.com the developer hasn't posted a fix or some kind update status as to when the tracker bugs will be fixed. His last post was: Thu Nov 11, 2004 8:22 pm, the last version of BitComet 0.57 was released on Mar 5, 2005 and there isn't even any new beta versions to try and fix the problems: http://download.bitcomet.com/deve/
He hasn't even fixed this bug: http://www.p2pforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=3845
CSX Wrote:
"BitComet is running on:
RAM size : 127.49 MB
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 98 SE
This is shown, when I run BitComet on my old PC which has an AMD K6 266mhz MMX
only a small thing, but the Client is running just fine on it"
Then the developer "RnySmile" says this:
"woo! my K6 266 only have 32M memory(still in use ^_^), yours has such a large memory."
So not only does he have the hardware with the problem, but he can now reproduce the problem himself, see what's causing it and fix it.
No wonder the leech bug hasn't been fixed.
It is a little heavier than most to use, however, if you are using a broad pipe, this client has the best balance management system for multi-torrenting.
If you regularly download and upload many files simulteneously, this one is a must. This said, you should tweak the disk caching function to enhance performance, or you might suffer a bit from slow disk access.
No client is perfect, but this one gets my "5 star".
I have used 4 clients and figured out that Azureus is the most heavy for my PC. It uses a lot of CPU power and a lot of memory.
For user-friendliness, Azureus is better than ABC but not Bit-Comet. For this reason, I actually preferred using Azureus rather than ABC, only because my computer is powerful enough!
When I am downloading something big on Azureus lasting a couple of days, I noticed that my computer is running slower than usual. I attempted to shut down some background programs to speed up my computer but that didn't help. So I control-alt-deleted to bring up the Task Manager and clicked on the processes tab to see what is eating up my CPU. I was surprised to find out that Azureus and JAVA are taking up a total of 87%-97% of my CPU. Mem usage, needless to say, was high, 118672K high!!!
Having ABC still in my system, I compared the two. First, I cleared the RAM with Tweak XP, restarted the computer, and started ABC and downloaded something huge. After a couple of days, I checked on ABC, still downloading. The CPU is 0% and Mem Usage is 52133K. Because of how much I hate ABC for its lack of options, I decided to go back to Azureus. I just shut it down whenever I play games or watch DVD movies.
Bit-Comet totally blew both of the competition away. Please read my review for Bit-Comet for more information.
Final thoughts: Azureus ranks high on Geek-options, very user-friendly. But it takes quite a bite off the system.
gammer:Which version of Java do you use? This works best if you have 1.5

The above video is not on topic. Anyway, let's talk about That Guy. He's always causing drama. Or is he?
Dear Robin and Lisa,
I recently found myself in an interesting situation: Running our guild second 10 man raid team. Or more accurately, finishing it off with two tanks, a healer and a DPS. Getting the DPS and the healer was fairly easy without going outside the guild or recruiting anyone. And I even convinced one of our officers to be the MT. This afternoon, at the spur of the moment, he (the MT guild officer) formed a Bastion of Twilight raid with most of the second team members in it, including me (shammy healer), along with a tank friend of his. So, we get there, join vent, mine is working fine (this is important) and we start the first pulls, things are going just fine and we get to the first boss. Halfus has 3 drakes available (twilight, slate and time) so after a short discussion in vent, a strategy is decided on and we attack the boss. Three wipes later, they down the boss, my first ever kill on Halfus. I even get this amulet drop which is a huge upgrade for me, so I am happy.

The long process of the American Airlines merger with U.S. Airways could come to a close soon.
According to Reuters, the merger could be completed in as little as two weeks.
American Airlines' board, which filed for bankruptcy in Nov. 2011, is scheduled to meet on Jan. 28 and Jan. 29 to discuss the newest developments in the negotiation process.
The airlines have a potential structure for the board of a merged company, which would consist of members from the existing boards of US Airways and AMR, and those to be designated by AMR creditors, the people said.
It is believed that negotiations are not coming down to equity sharing between US Airways shareholders and American Airlines creditors. The creditors feel they should own more than 70 percent of the equity in the proposed merger.
If the merger is completed, the new airline would likely be the largest in the world.

Rafael Nadal rallied to advance to the French Open semi-finals for the ninth time, beating David Ferrer 4-6, 6-4, 6-0, 6-1 on Wednesday.
The eight-time champion at Roland Garros dropped a set at this year's tournament for the first time, but then seemed to race through the next three to ensure he had the day off on Thursday.
Nadal will next face Andy Murray in the semifinals on Friday. Murray, who missed last year's tournament because of a back injury, held on to beat Gael Monfils 6-4, 6-1, 4-6, 1-6, 6-0.
The tennis started late at Roland Garros on Thursday, with the two women's quarterfinal matches only beginning after a rain delay of about three hours. Andrea Petkovic and Simona Halep both won, and one of them will be in a Grand Slam final for the first time on Saturday.
Nadal improved his record to 64-1 at the French Open, and stretched his unbeaten streak to 33. His only loss came in the fourth round of the 2009 tournament, when Robin Soderling beat him.
Nadal played Ferrer, last year's runner-up, on Court Suzanne Lenglen, the second biggest stadium at Roland Garros. Although Nadal has won a record eight titles at the clay-court Grand Slam, he was pushed to the smaller court so Monfils and Murray could play on Court Philippe Chatrier.
Monfils had been trying to become the first Frenchman to win the title at Roland Garros since Yannick Noah in 1983, but instead it was Murray that made his way back into the French Open semifinals for the second time.
In 2011, the Wimbledon champion lost to Nadal at the same stage.
The women's matches were more straightforward.
Petkovic, a 28th-seeded German, beat 2012 French Open runner-up Sara Errani of Italy 6-2, 6-2. The fourth-seeded Halep defeated 2009 champion Svetlana Kuznetsova, also 6-2, 6-2.
"I have to say, today I was in a real zone. I didn't think at all," Petkovic said. "I was just focused on what I had to do."
Neither Petkovic nor Halep has ever played in the semifinals of a Grand Slam tournament. But they will meet on Thursday with a spot in the final against either Maria Sharapova or Eugenie Bouchard on the line.
Petkovic was first to complete her match. And although she had some trouble holding serve at the start of each set, her groundstrokes consistently landed near the lines, many of them for winners.
"I had a very good game plan from my coach. It didn't work in the beginning, so I was getting a little, not panicked, but when you have a certain game plan and you lose the first two games and it's not working, so I was kind of getting a little worried," Petkovic said. "I was lucky that I started playing better and that I was putting more balls into play."
The match started under overcast skies after the three-hour delay. The rain briefly returned in the first set but didn't interrupt play.
Although Petkovic was broken to open each set, she won the final six games of the first set, and the final four games of the second.
"Very, very tired. I didn't have, mentally, (any) energy," Errani said. "I don't know why I was dead. I (didn't) have power (in) my legs."
Petkovic had been 0-3 in major quarterfinals, losing at that stage at the Australian Open, French Open and US Open in 2011. Her ranking dropped after that, as low as 177th last year, because of a right knee injury.
Errani was the runner-up at Roland Garros in 2012, losing to Sharapova.
Halep and Kuznetsova were on court for only four minutes when the rain started. But like the other quarterfinal match, play continued through the drizzle on Lenglen.
Kuznetsova, a two time Grand Slam champion who has not reached a major semifinal since winning the title at Roland Garros five years ago, said the weather was not to blame for her poor play.
"You can put many excuses or whatever, but I think the key is that Simona was at her best," Kuznetsova said. "My movement was not perfect. The shots (were) not so good."
Halep, the highest-seeded player remaining in the draw, has moved quickly up the rankings over the last year. In the last 13 months, she has won seven titles, second only to Serena Williams. But Halep is the only player to have won titles on clay, grass and hard courts during that stretch.

text: Some Ukraine Grain Defaults Seen by Solaris as Spot Prices Surge March 3, 2014 04:42 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Bloomberg Email Some Ukrainian suppliers are defaulting on supply contracts to take advantage of rising prices in the spot market, according to Solaris SA, which trades crops from the region. "Certain suppliers who have contracted to sell in hryvnias are now defaulting on those contracts and reselling the goods spot at higher prices," Swithun Still, director of Solaris in Lausanne, Switzerland, said without giving amounts. "Ukrainian farmers are holding on to grain, rather than selling it for local currency." Benchmark corn prices traded in Chicago jumped to the highest since September and wheat advanced to a two-month high after Russian forces took control of the southern Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea, stoking concern that conflict may disrupt supply. Ukraine is set to be the third-biggest corn shipper and the sixth-largest wheat exporter this year. Ukrainian feed wheat for March delivery was offered at $246 a metric ton to $248 a ton free-on-board as of Feb. 28, from $240 to $245 a ton a week earlier, according to UkrAgroConsult, a research company. In FOB transactions the seller delivers goods on board a ship and the buyer is responsible for transportation and insurance. Prices in hryvnias for grain delivered to port jumped 10 percent in a week, according to UkrAgrConsult. The country's currency slid 10 percent last week. "Prices are rising sharply and most FOB offers have been withdrawn today," Still said. Some buyers are seeking to hedge the risk with Ukraine by switching to other origins, and there is more demand for Russian wheat and corn, he said. Corn jumped as much as 4.2 percent to $4.8275 a bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade today and wheat increased as much as 5.9 percent to $6.38 a bushel, the highest level since Dec. 12.

Giving the online dating thing another go. It worked out well for me last time. Wasn't meant to be in the end, but we had some good times and I made a new friend.
Here's a response I just received to my profile post.
'that photo is soo sexy,you look like a million girls i want to be with, a true unique look'
I look like a million other girls, which makes me unique? Or do I just look like I am many different people?

Radiohead's Manager: File Sharing Should Be Legal; It's Great For Music
from the so-there-you-go dept
"We believe file-sharing by peer-to-peer should be legalised. The sharing of music where it is not for profit is a great thing for culture and music."Compare that to, say, Paul McGuinness, the manager of U2, who has been going on and on about how pretty much everyone other than the music industry (i.e., users, ISPs, Apple, software companies) is to blame for file sharing, and they should all be kicked off the internet if they don't pay up.

The 7 Tenets to Successful EntrepreneurshipFriday, October 17th, 2008
I'm convinced that the craziest thing you could ever do in this life is to become an entrepreneur. Your family and friends will wonder why you insist on being different and difficult. They'll ponder why you refuse to do what everyone else is doing and won't get a "real" job. They want you to stop playing around, settle down and 'get with the program.' Besides, it's for your own good, you know. They know what's best for you since you obviously don't.
I know you don't want to hear this, but to some degree they're right. You might be a tad crazy, but don't let that get you down. That's exactly what you need to survive this adventure.

Trying to understand routing with openbsd
Hi guys, i am looking for help understanding a couple of things.
My network
Open BSD box serving as a router/gateway to internet with IPs below
| em0 |---> ISP
| em1 |---> 192.168.1.1 (Wired LAN)
| em2 |---> 192.168.2.1 (Wireless AP)
root ~ # cat /etc/hostname.em1 inet 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 NONE #!route add -net 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.1.1 #!route add -net 192.168.2.0/24 192.168.2.1 root ~ # cat /etc/hostname.ural0 inet 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0 NONE autoselect mode 11g mediaopt hostap nwid an0nym0us chan 11 wpa wpaprotos wpa2 wpaakms psk wpapsk lol root ~ # cat /etc/sysctl.conf |grep net.inet.ip.forwarding net.inet.ip.forwarding=1 # 1=Permit forwarding (routing) of IPv4 packets root ~ # pfctl -sr anchor "miniupnpd" all match out log on egress inet from ! (egress) to any nat-to (egress:0) round-robin block drop in log quick on ! em1 inet from 192.168.1.0/24 to any block drop in log quick inet from 192.168.1.1 to any block drop in log quick on ! em0 from (em0:network) to any block drop in log quick from (em0) to any block drop in log quick on re0 inet6 from fe80::e291:f5ff:fe20:3eb0 to any pass out quick all flags S/SA keep state pass in quick all flags S/SA keep state
random client 192.168.2.24 (connected to wireless ap) is unable to ping random client 192.168.1.100 (connected to switch on em1). I added the commented static routes in hostname.em1 and still same problem.
one thing i noticed when i did a tcpdump on the openbsd box is that i got this. dont know if i is the reason.
root ~ # tcpdump -n -vvv -i re0 host 192.168.1.100 tcpdump: listening on re0, link-type EN10MB 21:17:15.985288 192.168.2.24 > 192.168.1.100: icmp: echo request (id:c624 seq:10) (ttl 63, id 46271, len 84, bad cksum 0! differs by 421d) 21:17:16.994790 192.168.2.24 > 192.168.1.100: icmp: echo request (id:c624 seq:11) (ttl 63, id 65157, len 84, bad cksum 0! differs by f856) 21:17:16.995493 arp who-has 192.168.2.24 tell 192.168.1.100 21:17:17.987041 192.168.2.24 > 192.168.1.100: icmp: echo request (id:c624 seq:12) (ttl 63, id 37534, len 84, bad cksum 0! differs by 643e) 21:17:17.995391 arp who-has 192.168.2.24 tell 192.168.1.100 21:17:18.995221 arp who-has 192.168.2.24 tell 192.168.1.100

Can it be PF? since i am still a noob with PF so i have allowed all in and out just to make sure it is not because of PF.
pass out quick
pass in quick
by the way how will you check specific packets dropped by PF? do a tcpdump on pflog?
Thanks in advance

It looks like your netmasks. It's does not appear to be routing, and it is probably not PF.
arp who-has 192.168.2.24 tell 192.168.1.100
If the netmasks are correct, did you define a bridge(4) device?
Routing works the same on OpenBSD as on any other system with a TCP/IP protocol stack; it's just that mis-configurations (usually in PF) often look like routing problems, because systems can't reach each other.
Just to aid your understanding -- routing tables are only used when departing one's own subnet. Most commonly there is only one router on a subnet, so only a default route is added, which points to the "gateway" that then routes packets onward. On OpenBSD, the mygate(5) file is used by netstart(8) to set a single default route if DHCP is not used.
You need more than a default route only when there are at least two routers on a subnet. In those cases, a default route won't be sufficient. Here's a common example -- a tiered set of firewalls. The DMZ subnet here has two routers:
{internet} - [Firewall A] - DMZ Web servers 10.1.1/24 - [Firewall B] - DBs and Users 192.168.1/24
Systems on the DMZ have a default route of Firewall A, but they also need a route for the 192.168.1 subnet, pointing to Firewall B. With just a default route, they would point packets destined for the inner platforms through Firewall A, and that's the wrong direction.
For those behind Firewall B, they only need a single default route -- because all outgoing packets go through B.
A pf.conf(5) file is much easier to read than pfctl(8) rules list. I would have prefered that, but here's what I see in your block and pass rules from pfctl:
block drop in log quick on ! em1 inet from 192.168.1.0/24 to any
block drop in log quick inet from 192.168.1.1 to any
block drop in log quick on ! em0 from (em0:network) to any
block drop in log quick from (em0) to any
block drop in log quick on re0 inet6 from fe80::e291:f5ff:fe20:3eb0 to any
pass out quick all flags S/SA keep state pass in quick all flags S/SA keep state
More on routing:
{internet} - [Firewall A] - DMZ Web servers 10.1.1/24 - [Firewall B] - DBs and Users 192.168.1/24
Firewall A also needs a route to the inner subnet, not just the DMZ servers. That's if Firewall B is not using NAT -- it typically would not be. If Firewall B is using NAT, however, then the inner subnet's traffic is all translated into Firewall B's address on the 10.1.1 network.
Isn't networking fun? There are so many things to misconfigure.
Secondly from the router perspective, if Firewall A has 2 NIC cards, that go to both gateways, will there be a need for static routes?
In my scenario for instance my BSD router knows how to reach re0(em1) and ural0(em2) so there is no need for static routes on the router. if it had to reach a subnet that was not directly connected to it, it will then need a static route to that subnet. also the hosts on my wired and wireless subnets do not need static routes as long as they can reach their default gateway. did i get this twisted up?
# route add default <address of ISP's gateway router>
# route add 192.168.1/24 <address of FW B on 10.1.1 net>
And we configure Firewall B with one default route:
# route add default <address of FW A on 10.1.1 net>
Are you asking do we need to do anything with Firewall B if there is a change in the DMZ or in the ISP's addressing? Not so long as Firewall A's IP address doesn't change. For routing tables, the only addresses needed are the addresses of the adjacent router(s).
In the case of Firewall A, it needs two routes because the 192.168.1 subnet can't be reached through the default route, which goes to the ISP.
Appreciate the explanation sir.

28-Toed cat is candidate for record book
28-Toed cat is candidate for record book
OAKLAND, Maine (AP) Visitors who manage to catch a glimpse of Mooch DuVal before the skittish cat dashes off are stunned when they see his toes.
"Usually, their first remark is, Oh, my God, look at that cats feet whats wrong with him?" Becky DuVal told the Morning Sentinel of Waterville.
Some call Mooch a freak of nature, according to her husband, Bob DuVal.
The DuVals say their large, yellow felines 28 toes are the most of any cat in the world. They have submitted evidence they hope will earn Mooch a listing in the Guinness Book of Records.
The current record is held by Paddles, a black cat in Ennismore, Ontario, who has 27 toes.
"Mooch has 28 claws," Becky DuVal said Friday. "He has 28 pads, but two of the pads are partially fused."
At the couples home on East Pond, a nervous Mooch padded defensively across the kitchen floor, avoiding visitors and especially the clicking camera.
"Hes always been skittish," Bob DuVal explained as Mooch struggled to get out of his wifes lap. "This is your 15 minutes suck it up."
DuVal said he was listening to radio personality Paul Harvey last week and heard about the world record for most toes on a cat. He immediately called his wife at work and they decided to write to Guinness officials in London.
"Thank you for your letter regarding your intention to break the record for Cat with the most toes," Guinness Amanda Sprague responded by e-mail.
The DuVals veterinarian, Jason MacArthur, provided confirmation to Guinness, saying he examined Mooch and the cat has seven claws on each foot, totaling 28 claws.
"The third and fourth pad on his right hind foot are partially fused, totaling 27 completely separate pads," the letter states.
Moochs feet give him a big advantage when he and his smaller brother, Spanky, play in the snow during winter. While Spanky struggles and winds up knee-deep, Mooch is able to walk on top of the snow.
"Theyre good snowshoes," Bob DuVal said of the big cats feet.

Tasha created a Web site for scorned women to post complaints about their ex-boyfriends. Todd is suing Tasha and two women who posted on her Web site saying they have no right to post damaging accusations about him. They meet face to face for the first time on stage!
"I don't know whether or not the statements made on my Web site are true or false. That's not my job."
Hi-Tech Revenge
Earlier this year, Fonda wreaked revenge on an ex-boyfriend using Tasha's Web site. Her posting says that he was married, liked pornography and was interested in having a three-way with her and another man.
Ready for Revenge?
Ashley's boyfriend, Corey, cheated on her three times that she knows about. Now, she says she wants to take revenge by exposing him to the world. Corey says that just weeks ago Ashley was the one begging him for sex.

A new Bikram yoga studio recently opened in Brevard, where students perform 26 postures in a heated room with temperatures around 105 degrees and humidity ideally at 40 percent.
BREVARD — A new Bikram yoga studio recently opened in Brevard, where students perform 26 postures in a heated room with temperatures around 105 degrees and humidity ideally at 40 percent.
"It is very therapeutic," said Vivian Smith, owner of Bikram Yoga Brevard and a certified Bikram instructor.
Sweat is the name of the game when students enter the yoga room. which includes 18 radiant panels in the ceiling and an additional box heater.
The yoga techniques work every part of the body, from organs to veins and muscles, while releasing toxins from the system, Smith said.
Bikram Yoga is an organization founded by Bikram Choudhury with hundreds of studios around the world, including Brevard and Asheville. Bikram Yoga Brevard is a 2,700-foot facility that offers a classroom, dressing rooms, showers and a lobby with a retail center. The studio opened earlier this month at 167 Rosman Highway.
Smith, 34, has been a Bikram instructor for four years. She began the yoga program in 2001 while working to complete her master's of fine arts degree in 2004 at Rutgers University.
She lost focus while at the university until she participated in her first 90-minute session.
"It was life-changing," Smith said about that first Bikram yoga class, adding that it was an awakening. "It was insane. It was unlike anything I've ever experienced."
It was then that Smith decided to be a teacher. She trained in Honolulu and eventually relocated to Western North Carolina, where she taught at Bikram Yoga Asheville.
Smith also acted in theatrical shows while teaching in Asheville and was in two Flat Rock Playhouse performances at the downtown Hendersonville location.
"I love working with the Flat Rock Playhouse," Smith said. "I had great experiences and would love to keep that relationship alive."
In the meantime, Smith is focused on her new venture at Bikram Yoga Brevard. The first class was held March 2, and Smith holds 20 classes a week, seven days a week with the help from fellow instructor Camille Schiele.
Student Jill Haynie has been a stone mason for 30 years and started Bikram yoga in 2008.
"After two weeks, I felt 20 years younger," the 51-year-old Brevard resident said. "You feel more alive."
Haynie said it has helped her physically and emotionally and she no longer has to see a chiropractor.
"This helps you stay focused, grounded and happy," Haynie added.

Former Nevada coach Chris Ault has watched Colin Kaepernick ascend from a largely overlooked high-school prospect to a revelation for the San Francisco 49ers.
Kaepernick is less than two weeks away from starting in Super Bowl XLVII, just two years after starring in Ault's Pistol offense at the college level. The quarterback and the NFL's scheme-of-the-moment have reached the game's highest level, and Ault believes Kaepernick is ready for the moment.
"There is no question about it: He'll be excited, as any young guy would be," Ault said Tuesday morning on 'NFL AM.' "But I'm going to tell you something about Kaep. He is the guy that I found, and you saw it last week: His patience and his poise to understand his role.
"If his role is to pull the ball and run it, he's going to do it and, if not, he'll hand it off. I think as the game progresses, the first couple series against Atlanta last week was rough, not only on him but on the Niner offense. But I think Coach (Jim) Harbaugh and that staff have just done a super job with this guy and they have given him things he can do and do well."
Kaepernick's rapid rise fuels this narrative. Before Harbaugh and the 49ers drafted their quarterback, Ault discovered Kaepernick before his senior year in high school. He was a work-in-progress back then.
"He came to my camp ... so I had him for two days, got to work with him, see his ability, his athleticism," Ault said. "From that point on, we didn't jump right on it, but he was a prospect. Then we somewhat watched him run the Wing-T at Pitman High School and he could move pretty well. The throwing was suspect at that time. I felt that (we were) going to recruit him as a quarterback and if he can't play that he's going to go to free safety or wide receiver."
Goes to show, you never know where the next Super Bowl quarterback -- or the offense he'll run -- might originate.

Kansas lands 18 JUCO players in signing class
Kansas coach Charlie Weis is looking toward Kansas State as an
example for success.
When Weis was offered the job at Kansas, he compared the two
rivals teams. Kansas was 2-10 and about 90 miles down the road,
Kansas State was 10-2. His Jayhawks finished the season 1-11 and
0-9 in Big 12 play while the Wildcats went 11-2 and are fresh off a
Fiesta Bowl appearance.
After another lackluster year, Weis decided to look more closely
at Bill Snyder's team. One major part of Kansas State's consistent
success has been the role of strong junior college recruiting. Sure
enough, as 14 letters of intent arrived on Wednesday, a familiar
pattern appeared. His 25-man recruiting class featured 18 players
from junior colleges around the country.
"I'll take the 18 junior college players because they are ready
to play now," Weis said.
The Jayhawks return 35 letter winners, but only 12 starters so
brining in experienced players is key. Marquel Combs, who signed
last December, is the perfect example.
He is the top-ranked junior college prospect according to ESPN
despite only playing one year of football in high school.
The Memphis native will come to Kansas with two years of
eligibility after leaving Pierce College and join a defensive line
that lost two starters. He received more than 50 Division 1 offers
and chose Kansas from the list.
"We provide a unique opportunity because almost everyone can
see themselves getting into the mix," Weis said.
Chris Martin, a transfer from City College of San Francisco and
fellow four-star recruit will join Combs on the defensive line.
From there, Weis added nine players who were ranked in
Scout.com's top 100 JUCO Players.
On the other end of the spectrum, Weis also nabbed a pair of
three-star quarterbacks from Kansas City high schools.
Jordan Darling will graduate from Shawnee Mission East as the
top rated pro style quarterback in Kansas. He comes from a military
family and has thrown for 1,000 yards in three different states
during high school.
He is joined in the class by Montel Cozart, a two-sport letter
winner from Bishop Miege who was named the 2011 Kansas Gatorade
Player of the Year. He also played for Kansas assistant coach Tim
Grunhard before he joined the staff last year.
As he builds the Kansas program, Weis hopes to move away from
the junior college model and add in more high schools seniors, but
right now he needs results.
"They're much more grown up," said Weis of junior college
recruits. "They've got it figured out and physically they're more
developed. They're much more ready for the real world."
Weis, who has experience coaching in both college and the NFL,
described junior college transfers as the ideal medium.
"These aren't 18-year-old kids," Weis said. "These guys have
been weathered. These guys have already had to live a little bit of
a rough life. Everything hasn't been handed to them."
Wednesday morning, with this year's class squared away long
before deadline, Weis gathered his staff in the morning to start
planning for next year. Weis and his staff have a three-year plan
for each position, but this year he is satisfied with his second
recruiting class at Kansas.
"I feel good that we have filled every hole numerically with
guys we thing are pretty good players," Weis said.
