what i want needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 596 designs submitted by 177 freelance designers.
what i want .(dot) is
People! Hello!
We're about to launch the latest and greatest in the gift registry space but we need your help to get there.
This isn't about registering for a wedding! (NO PINK AND NO FRILLS PLEASE!!) What i want.is all about giving yourself a fighting chance of getting what YOU want for your birthday, going away party or college graduation.
whatiwant.is not just about getting "things" but also about getting cash and making life easy for your friends and family (not to mention satisfying for yourself!). It will be possible to list anything from any store anywhere (you say you'd like fluffy dice for your new car and your mate heads out to the nearest $2 shop and brings it along on the night!) You can also ask for cash contributions towards larger items (the backpack or the plane ticket).
The site will be launched into the US market and will be aimed at the 15 - 30 age bracket.
Our audience may well be YOU!
Our starting point is getting the right logo. After that we'll probably need help with site design... a cross between apple.com and twitter.com ... but we'll get to that in a later project!
An iconic representation would be better suited than an image. Plain and simple. Less is more. I'm sure you've heard it all before!
The "vibe" of the site is more about whispering at this point, although as we're keen to get a message out there, if needs be, we'll get a megaphone and announce WHAT I WANT (dot) IS! Just think about how you'd like to tell your family and friends exactly what you'd like for your 21st, for Christmas or what to bring along to your housewarming.
Now, the URL is a rather gimmicky http://www.whatiwant.is
(thought I should probably mention that)
Things to note:
- Pink is OUT!
- Frills, bows and ornately wrapped gifts - all OUT!
- No babies, no brides.
- Time is of the essence, so any early entries would be appreciated!

Prejudices will always exist, tolerance will grow but you can never expect society as a whole to accept things that are different. And you can't force people to change either. Most kids who grow up will more than likely never see a real gay couple. The only time they'll see it is on T.V. at best. so seeing it in real life will pose as a shock.
I do believe bullying is an issue. It causes series life long trauma. But at the end of the day I could care less. I'm generally apathetic to those I don't know.

There's a serious disconnect between the thread title and the poll question ... to the point my "flame bait" flag has the safety off.
The conflation of civil marriage and religious marriage (in programmer-speak, "function overloading") has a lot to do with this issue (which often becomes a "stop thinking" hot button issue for homophobes who justify themselves with really shaky religious assertions).

Yes your original point was debatable i.e.
>> Adopted Children of Same Sex Couples suffer bullying
Now what are you debating about
>> Social Environments and there effects on Children's behavior ...
So what exactly has this to do with your original point ......... Or anything to do with Thread at hand ..

Of course there will always be prejudice, but can people make that hypothetical prejudice, that they themselves can change, a reason why gay people shouldn't be allowed to adopt kids? My point is, that there is absolutely no valid argument against gay couples who want to adopt a child, that society could use to prevent them that. Absolutely none..If anyone can name one argument, that wouldn't normally apply to hetero or single parents too, speak up now. I'm curious. I see what you are trying to say though, yes, indeed, most kids/families can never see a gay couple and thus don't feel the need to talk about it to their children. But do all boys and girls learn about Africa in school too, although most of them will never go there? That's why I mentioned how much important it is for parents and schools to educate children about all kinds of social matters, so the kids will know how to act to what you call "different".Foundations for life, so to speak, and homosexuality is just one of them.
I believe I started the "Social Environments and their effects on Children's behavior". Because in essence its all connected. We we talking about how children from homosexual pairings would be bullied because of it. And I think we established that, the behavior of children is directly linked from their home environment and the environment of other homes. Basically, if parents accept homosexuality, it will brush onto their kids too, so no innocent children (at least not more than for other things kids usually bully for)can be bullied because of the nature of their parents. And this will happen..someday in the near future I hope.

Basically, my argument is to seperate the idea of marriage into a "religious marriage" and a "civil union". All government/business/legal etc things are tied to the civil union. All these entities stay out of the "religious marriage". Let each individual church decide (as they already do) who is worthy of marriage or not.

Real simple breakdown;
Me, I am black agnostic. I respect religion and non believers but have a problem with fundamentalism of any stripe or even with utilizing religion as basis for discrimination.
There is no reason homosexuals shouldn't be protected by hate crimes laws and no reason why they can't have the same status and benefits that heterosexuals couples have in a legal sense. NO REASON. Provided that they are intelligent, responsible, law abiding citizens. This won't open up the flood gates to bestiality, legalized incest or what ever hoo hah people say.
Sorry I feel strongly on this, I am not gay, but being Afro-American, I have a problem with legitimizing discrimination just for the sake of keeping things status quo, religion was used to systematically demonize us once upon a time along with Jew and Catholic immigrants, why BECAUSE WE WERE DIFFERENT! (AAAUUGHHH, A PRESIDENT KENNEDY WILL BE A PAWN OF THE POPE!!!!)
My conservative aunt's beef is not that they are gay, but along the lines of "they are inserting their own idea of marriage into a sacred practice, thus sullying it" or some sort. I can understand those sentiments. Seeing as how marriage is tied to religion so deeply, I think realistically Gays should worry about getting civil unions (purely SECULAR legality) first. Otherwise it seems primarily symbolic. My heart goes out to gay Christians but, religious definitions and mandates are best left to individual denominations and institutions.
With that, I say no to them being under the concept of "marriage" but yes to civil unions and discrimination protection.

Fine. Then the "gay marriage" law should be declared for female-female only. Legalising yuri but banning yaoi.
I hope you are all happy and content with this proposition to make the world a better place. I have confidence in this becoming a success because...

Ever since a young age, I've had this certain understanding and I guess I could say compassion for gay people. I definitely have compassion for gay people nowadays. I'm not gay, but I do have some gay relatives, and they have given me some great insight into this whole topic.
One thing I've learned is this (and have heard from my gay relatives and heard from people I know/knew that are gay)...they didn't choose their sexuality. Their attraction to the same sex just comes naturally, due to biological factors, just like how the average person is attracted to the opposite sex. I know many people here know about this and many people believe this, as well. It is just that understanding this has had a lot with how I feel about these people and how I support fairness and equality for them. They can't help but be attracted to the same sex, so they absolutely shouldn't be discriminated for something they can't control. I should mention, I mentioned biological factors, and scientific studies have concluded that gay people (on the whole), have biological factors that make them gay. Then of course there are the freaky deaky bi-curious people who want to experiment, but they are the exception. Most people wouldn't want to try out being gay for the heck of it. Most people wouldn't wanna just "try it out"; why would they choose to put up with the bullshit gay people go through (makes sense, no?).
I think that gay couples should be allowed to marry, especially with secular based marriages. Old world views are that marriage should only be between a man and a woman, but we know a lot more about homosexuality in this day and age, and as I said earlier, most gay and bi people don't choose their sexuality like how people don't choose their skin color or eye color. So we should discriminate against them for something they don't choose? Let's start being more fair to them, I say.

I strongly believe though that people such as homosexuals don't really have a choice to what orientation they develop. We really can't blame a homosexual if his/her same sex parent failed to be there for their child. The failure of establishing relationships with the same sex parent is also a known cause for a person to develop same sex attraction. We can't pin all the blame on the homosexual if he/she failed to attain same sex friends when they were young or if they identified more with peers of the opposite sex.
Someone with same sex attraction can't really choose who they're attracted to but they can choose if they want to indulge in a homosexual lifestyle(which is then considered the sin in my religion). I am one of those people who believe that homosexuals can change their gender preference but I also acknowledge that it may be impossible for some. There are just some instances in life where the scars are rooted too deeply. There are a few people I know who have spent hundreds or even thousands of dollars entering those therapy sessions that offer to help change your orientation but sadly, to no avail
My heart really goes out to homosexuals but even more to the homosexuals who are struggling to change. They had to undergo alot of struggles and conflicts directed at them because of being different. I am very much against discrimination against homosexuals but I am against the gay movement which is trying to attain equal rights such as marriage. It completely warps the definition of marriage in my opinion since two important factors that should always be present in marriage is a man and a woman. It is not a problem for me if homosexuals are to live together but I don't seen the need to enforce accomodation of gay marriage.

It's amazing how many people think marriage is a religious institution. In the United States people do get married in churches and temples but that does not mean marriage does not exist outside of religion.
Almost every culture in the world has the equivalent of marriage. Even cultures that are very different from each other will have remarkably similar definitions of marriage. This proves that marriage is a natural product of humanity.
In countries that aren't as religious as America people, even atheists, are still getting married, and governments are calling these unions marriage.
Marriage is a social institution, traditionally reserved for hetero couples (often of the same race), but should today be extended to homosexual couples.

Is puppy love a carefully arranged multi-generational social engineering construct, or is it, god forbid, natural? How does one fall in love for that first time, and why? So why can feeling attraction to someone of the same sex be a social construct, especially if Western society for the last few centuries viciously opposed anything remotely homosexual?
If it's really a socially influenced thing, we would have seen their extinction by now with those centuries of oppression. On the contrary, children of heterosexual couples in rabidly sexually intolerant societies continue to become homosexual...even if the environment forced them to learn to hide such tendencies from the world. And we now know that intelligent animals like elephants exhibit homosexual behaviors, both male and female.
Homosexuality is natural. The few of us who get it are just waiting for the rest of the world to drop their petty prejudice.

@FragrantFlora: I don't understand. If you believe that a homosexual truly does not have a choice in regards to their homosexuality (whether because of genetics, birth order, environmental factors, etc), then how can they not be treated the same as any other person or group that also has no real choice in regards to their identity?
It is only if Homosexuality is in fact a choice (which all the current science says it is probably not), that a religious response can be used (and only in regards to marriage in a religion, state marriages are still a right that should be bestowed upon any and all consenting adults, no matter theri race, colour, creed, or sexual orientation). Otherwise, if homosexuality is in fact genetic (which seems more and more likely), then a religion (not necessarily a God, but the religion's interpretation of their God) rejecting a section of humanity because of the way nature (i.e. God) made them seems quite blasphemous to me. Of course, this is only if homosexuality is truly genetic, and not choice (I am not trying to offend with my remarks, religion is always a touchy subject, and far be it for me to try and bash anyone's religion. If you feel at all slighted, please PM me and I will apologies).
(I will now abstain from trying to pull religion into this discussion any further (sadly, it seems very likely that someone else will pull religion back in eventually ).)
That being said, I think you are confusing Egodystonic sexual orientation with homosexuality (don't worry, psychologists only, in the past 30 years, realized the difference ).

Seriously. Simple fix.
Just rename "marriage" to "civil union" whether it's between a man and a woman, a man and a man or a woman and a woman.
The argument against "gay marriage" is wholly built upon the ownership of the word "marriage."
Give them their word back, and let everyone have equal rights under the law, thanks.
The most complex problems in the world have the simplest fixes.
The economy? Want to fix that in four words?
Repeal all corporate taxes. There, economy fixed.
More proof that simple and easy aren't synonyms.

Think of it, FlagrantFlora, if it was more about nurture than nature, why do so many people 'turn out gay' despite having upbringings where heterosexuality is encouraged (or worse, homosexuality is vilified, on top of it). There have been homosexuals all throughout human history, all over the world. Most cultures have not looked kindly on it. There were gays in America in the 1920s-1950s (and earlier, of course). It just wasn't commonly heard of because people hid it in a society that condemned it. See, it was very condemned...didn't stop the fact that there were homosexual individuals. It is just that most of them repressed it, denied it, hid it from themselves and the rest of the world. Think of how many people are gay in the muslim world but just about no one ever finds out because if that comes out, they'll die? Again, societies where homosexuality is condemned, but there are still gay people in those societies. You see more and more gay and bi people in America these days because people can come out in this day and age and it isn't as terrible as some other countries out there.
Plus, the view that homosexuality comes natural to many gays and bis is not just a baseless view of mine. Scientific studies back it. More and more over time, scientific findings find that gays and bis have biological factors which dictate their sexuality. Like I said, some people are just experimental. But some (most gays and bis, I believe) can't help but be attracted to the same sex. Their inclination wasn't a concrete choice, that is for sure. Like I said before, why would people choose to be gay and put up with the bullshit? No, these people can't help but feel the way they do and they come out and date people of the same sex because it is natural for them and it will lead to a healthier, happier life for them (as someone said in this thread). They'll suffer if they live a lie.
And also, I find you have a wrong view in saying some gay people just "indulge" in the homosexual lifestyle. What do you mean by that? That people who feel that way about physical attraction are wrong for embracing it. They shouldn't date people that they want to date? That is only for the heterosexuals? I know you mentioned your religion calls it a sin, and I can respect that you have views aligned with your religion, but consider if people don't choose this aspect of themselves. It is pretty unfair to speak of them as social deviants over something about themselves they didn't choose.
I also thought about something about my first post...I wrote it but then thought about how I really think about this topic...I welcome it when a state legalizes gay marriage, and I'm for it, but I'm not a big advocate about it or anything. If it passes into law, it happens, and I don't complain. But to add to my views...what I really care about is these people getting the same rights. Married couples who are straight get benefits from being married and certain rights. I really just want to see gay couples get the same rights. Even if it was just civil unions with the same rights (although that would be separate but equal; not good), I want to see the same rights.

Whether you call it civil marriage or civil union, you think it should not be legislated at all? I let aside the same-sex union problem.
I don't exactly remember how it works in the USA, so i let it aside, but in France, a marriage is not only a signature on a piece of paper, and what you get and what the state compels you to do from a civil marriage is, imo, good for the couple, its family, and for the society.

Spoiler for Wall of text ahead, divided into smaller parts:
You're asking why? It's of course because since it's on a web archive and mostly consists of simple sentences to translate, I abused the hell out of Rikaichan (Rikaikun on Google Chrome) on it and there we go, and I think my translation is quite crude.
Most light novels, though, contain a lot of narratives I'm not fond of translating. Especially if they get around explaining terminologies etc. Manga, well, it gets messy when I encounter upon a Kanji I can't read (due to no Furigana) and I usually give up on that. Also, when the character gets around to explaining stuff I raise the white flag right there.
Trust me, my Japanese is only good for no-longer-than-a-sentence conversations.
There's also another one I had a good read before I got around translating this one, in fact even better: the OP expanded on Sera's character development in a pretty way. (Like how she come to terms of how she feels about Ayumu). Maybe I'll take a break for today and come back for that later when I feel I have enough spirits to do it. (Of course, that also means encouragement from you guys. Zero motivation, zero cake )

Well, whichever definition you feel comfortable. All you need to know is that like doujinshi, they are fan-written, so the usual perks and peeves of a fanmade work applies. (I've read worse. )

I could make a social group later today if you want, but I just want to hear everyone's opinions before I make it. Even though it would only take a few minutes I'd rather make sure there are more than 3 people that want it. Also I may decide to have someone monitor the group with me.

I have a small request that I hope could be answered here, I don't have the light novels nor access to them, and the English manga's are slow (Official Vol 1 is all there is right now)
and I really want to know about Queen Lilia Lilith, she looks really cute from the one pic I've seen of her, and she seems interesting however I can't find info on her just small blurbs
So my request, does anyone have anymore scans of her aside from the cover pics, and does anyone have a brief summary of her personallity and just a bit about her (if anything's been revealed on her)
If anyone has these or knows how I can get them I would be very appreciative if not, no biggie.

^ all I know so far is that she is a bit of an odd-ball. She has a habit of apologizing to people when she runs into them or is about to attack them(kinda like Aries from Fairy tail). It also appears that she does not care much about the masou shojo that die in the war(uncaring/cold(possibly sees no point in doing so)). She also appears be the type of person that wants/tries to be prepared for anything by preparing and improving her equipment(that lion thing). That's all I got from the spoilers and summaries so far. Someone else will be able to give you more information.

Thats absolutly a helpfull start thank you very much, the apologizing thing sounds cute, didn't think she'd be cold but thats cool.
I saw in the anime thread that someone said she appears in the OP so I'll have to look into that, I never noticed, I've seen Nene but I usually forward the OP so I'll re-check :P

heheheheh. Your welcome. I'm glad I was able to help you. The queen does appear to be be cute, but looks can be deceiving. Just look at Chris, she appeared to nice and looked cute but turned out to be, possibly, one of the most dangerous enemies Ayumu ever faced. The Queen is just as dangerous. Looking at this and TAMnI it appears that lolis are the most powerful/dangerous people in the LN world.

Job Search Outside the Box
New research to be published shortly in Psychological Science reveals that the connection between our minds and bodies is much stronger than previously known. The best way to be more creative in a job search, therefore, is to behave the way we want to think.
Researchers at the University of Michigan and New York University have now finished a series of tests to evaluate the validity of a frequently used aphorism. When we want to be creative - to do something that is original or innovative - we often tell ourselves to think "outside the box."
Among the tests they conducted was one involving word correlations. One group was asked to come up with alternative word associations while seated in a 125-cubic foot box, while another was assigned the same task while sitting outside the structure.
The results were startling. There was a strong correlation between the location of a test participant's body and their mind's ability to be creative. In other words, when a person is able to step outside of real world boundaries, they are more likely to come up with original ideas.
What's that got to do with a job search?
In today's difficult job market, doing the same old things in the same old way is the kiss of death. Instead, we have to think outside the box when deciding what to do, where to look, whom to contact, how to do so, and when. Since everyone else in the job market is making those same decisions, the more original our answers, the more successful we are likely to be.
Stepping Outside the Box
Many of us inadvertently put ourselves into boxes in a job search. Among the most prevalent are our:
- computer,
- circle of first level contacts,
- hometown, and
- last job.
How can you physically step outside these (and other) boxes in order to think more creatively about how to conduct your job search? The research suggests that, as with real estate, there are three keys to success: location, location, location. You have to put yourself in a different physical location with the intention of looking at issues and ideas from that new perspective.
For example, if you only network at social media sites and only with people you already know, get out of your PJs and attend a meeting of the local chapter of your professional association with the explicit intention of connecting with people you've never met before.
Or, if you've limited your job search to the kind of job you had at your last employer and in the town where you now live, take a trip to a different locale and use that unfamiliar environment to push you into looking at jobs that apply your talent in a different way or in a different industry.
Making those kinds of changes isn't easy, I know. Nevertheless, physically stepping outside whatever box you're in - and we're all in one or more - can erase your sense of limitations and energize your sense of possibilities. Make that change and you'll also put another aphorism into effect: you'll be getting yourself out of a rut.
Thanks for reading,

"In the knowable realm, the form of the good is the last thing to be seen, and is reached only with difficulty. Once one has seen it, however, one must conclude that it is the cause of all that is right and beautiful in anything, that it produces both light and its source in the visible realm, and that in the intelligible realm it controls and provides truth and understanding, so that anyone who is to act sensibly in private or public must see it."

Aristotle; Greece, 384 – 322 BCE
"For it is owing to their wonder that men both now begin and at first began to philosophize; they wondered originally at the obvious difficulties, then advanced little by little and stated difficulties about the great matters . . . And a man who is perplexed and wonders thinks himself ignorant; therefore since they philosophized in order to escape from ignorance, evidently they were pursuing science to know, and not for any utilitarian end. And this is confirmed by the facts; for it was when almost all the necessities of life and the things that make for comfort and recreation had been secured, that such knowledge began to be sought. Evidently then we do not seek it for the sake of any other advantage; but the man is free, we say, who exists for his own sake and not for another's, so we pursue this as the only free science, for it alone exists for its own sake."

It is not to be supposed that, when our inquiry is finished, we shall have arrived at anything radically different from this un-philosophical position. What will have happened will be that we shall have come to see a complicated structure where we thought everything was simple, that we shall have become aware of the penumbra of uncertainty surrounding the situations which inspire no doubt, that we shall find doubt more frequently justified than we supposed, and that even the most plausible premises will have shown themselves capable of yielding implausible conclusions.

"There are moments in life where the question of knowing whether one might think otherwise than one thinks and perceive otherwise than one sees is indispensable if one is to continue to observe or reflect. But then, what is philosophy today – philosophical activity, I mean – if it is not the critical work of thought on itself? And if it does not consist in the endeavor of knowing how and to what extent it might be possible to think differently, rather than legitimating what is already known? There is always something ludicrous in philosophical discourse when it tries, from the outside, to dictate to others, to tell them where their truth is and how to find it, or when it presumes to give them naively positivistic instruction. But it is its right to explore what might be changed, in its own thought, through the practice of a knowledge that is foreign to it. The 'essay', which must be understood as the test by means of which one modifies oneself through the play of truth . . . is the living body of philosophy, at least if we assume that philosophy is still what it was in times past, i.e., an askesis, an exercise of the self, in thought."

CAA Champions!
By Michelle Hite ('88)
The 2009-10 JMU women's basketball team overcame more than longtime CAA rival Old Dominion University to win the 2010 CAA Championship - they overcame personal illness; having sole senior, Sarah Williams; and more than a decade of "oh-so-close" moments and second places. The last time the women took the CAA title was 1989 under coach Sheila Moorman.It rolls like honey off the tongues of Dukes in the JMU Nation, and it's been 20 years in the making.
Junior guard Dawn Evans, who won the 2010 CAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player trophy, has also been selected as a finalist for the Women's Basketball Coaches Association State Farm All-America Team.
Evans averaged 24.6 points and 4.6 assists a game while helping lead the Dukes to the CAA Championship and an NCAA Tournament berth.
Though the team's NCAA dance was short-lived, thanks to Temple University, the JMU Nation's excitement remains. And Evans' accolades continue to roll in: She is among the candidates for the three major national player-of-the-year awards — the Wade Trophy, the Wooden Award and the Naismith Trophy.

Press Release
James Scott Named Juneau District Attorney
Arpil 12, 2013
Juneau, Alaska – The Department of Law announced today that James Scott will replace Dave Brower as Juneau District Attorney.
Scott is currently an assistant district attorney in the Ketchikan District Attorney's Office. He has worked for the department in that capacity since 1999. Prior to that, he worked in Illinois for several years as a prosecutor and in private practice.
"Mr. Scott has had a great deal of experience and success handling all levels and types of criminal cases from traffic offenses to domestic violence cases to murder trials," said Deputy Attorney General Rick Svobodny. "He is a dedicated prosecutor who will serve the Juneau community well as district attorney."
Scott replaces Dave Brower who will retire from state service effective April 30. Brower has been with the Department of Law for nearly 22 years, working in both the criminal and civil divisions. He also spent more than eight years working for the state as an officer in the Department of Corrections prior to pursuing a legal career.
"Mr. Brower has had an impact across the state from his criminal and civil work in both Nome and Juneau, to his statewide work as a traffic safety resource prosecutor helping reduce the incidence of driving-related crimes," Svobodny added. "He has been a dedicated public servant in Alaska for almost 30 years and will be missed."

President Obama has been lauded for quickly and directly addressing the attempted Christmas Day bombing of the Northwest Airlines passenger jet headed for Detroit. Even most Republican comment has been muted in its criticism.
But taking personal responsibility for US intelligence agencies' failure to detect and prevent an alleged attacker from nearly setting off an explosion, and promising tougher security measures against high priority threats, has not lowered the level of concern among terrorism experts and the public.
Taken together, recent incidents – the Christmas Day airliner bombing attempt by a Nigerian man officials say had Al Qaeda training in Yemen, the arrest of three men in New York alleged to have had weapons training in Pakistan, the Al Qaeda double agent and suicide bomber who killed seven CIA operatives in Afghanistan, the killing of 13 people in a November attack at Fort Hood, Texas, the arrest of a Chicago Pakistani-American charged with conspiring to help Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistan-based terrorist organization responsible for the November 2008 attack on Mumbai that killed 170 people – may point to a new phase in what has become the main threat to US security since 9/11.
Al Qaeda's 'fresh strategy'
"Al-Qaeda's newfound vitality is the product of a fresh strategy that plays to its networking strength and compensates for its numerical weakness," Bruce Hoffman professor of security studies at Georgetown University and a senior fellow at the US Military Academy's Combating Terrorism Center, writes in the Washington Post. "In contrast to its plan on Sept. 11, which was to deliver a knock-out blow to the United States, al-Qaeda's leadership has now adopted a 'death by a thousand cuts' approach."
Among other things, writes professor Hoffman, Al Qaeda "seeks to flood our already information-overloaded national intelligence systems with myriad threats and background noise … has stepped up a strategy of economic warfare … is still trying to create divisions within the global alliance arrayed against it by targeting key coalition partners … is aggressively seeking out, destabilizing and exploiting failed states and other areas of lawlessness … [and is] covetously seeking recruits from non-Muslim countries who can be easily deployed for attacks in the West."
If one purpose of terrorism is to wear down public morale with fear and personal disruption, recent days have seen evidence of that – even when no intended threat is involved. When a Rutgers University graduate student slipped past security at Newark Airport to give his girlfriend a last-minute hug, it caused a six-hour delay for hundreds of passengers. Airborne flights are much more likely to land at the nearest airport when a passenger mouths off.
Mixed picture on domestic security
Does this mean Americans are less secure? The picture is mixed.
In a letter to President Obama, Senators Lindsey Graham (R) of South Carolina and John McCain (R) of Arizona, asked the administration to immediately halt Guantánamo detainee transfers to countries "with a significant Al Qaeda presence," including Afghanistan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Algeria, and Sudan. The Obama Administration has already halted the transfer of detainees to Yemen.
"Terrorists still have innocent people in their sights and the will to murder them," Rep. Peter King (R) of New York said Saturday in the weekly Republican radio address. "They are always working on the next attack, refining their methods, searching the globe for new recruits. In other words, September 11th is not ancient history – it's all too real."
But on CBS' "Early Show" Thursday, John Negroponte, Director of National Intelligence under President George W. Bush, was asked whether the Obama administration was heading in the right direction on its intelligence system.
"Oh, absolutely," he said. "And I agree with those who are saying that we are safer than we were before 9/11. This is a question of tweaking a system. We dodged a bullet obviously; it was a near-miss. But I think the president is taking appropriate, prompt and corrective action."

Can medium containing starch be autoclaved?
Posted 21 November 2012 - 08:18 AM
Posted 21 November 2012 - 09:20 AM
Our country has a serious deficiency in lighthouses. I assume the main reason is that we have no sea.
I never trust anything that can't be doubted.
'Normal' is a dryer setting. - Elizabeth Moon
Posted 21 November 2012 - 05:56 PM
Did you add agar and did you boil it well before? I don't do it and it tends to form a viscous layer on the bottom.
It shouldn't be a problem, I consulted a media handbook and all the starch-containing media are prepared and autoclaved all together, except for some anaerobic media where it is autoclaved separatedly
Posted 22 November 2012 - 08:24 AM
If it's no problem as in the previous post mentioned then it's okay, otherwise you might can try modified starch or soluble starch (if it's acceptable for your bacteria and not too expensive)
One must presume that long and short arguments contribute to the same end. - Epicurus
...except casandra's that did belong to the funniest, most interesting and imaginative (or over-imaginative?) ones, I suppose.
Posted 25 November 2012 - 08:58 PM
I used soluble starch. I am preparing media for anerobes, but the protocol didn't mention anything about how to handle the starch, so I autoclaved it together with the other components and did notice that viscous layer at the bottom after I pulled it from the autoclave.
This was for an enrichment broth, so I didn't have agar, but I need to prepare plates now and am worried about this happening again, because I can't pour plates with that viscous layer at the bottom. If I autoclave first with the agar, add the soluble starch and then autoclave again, is that going to affect my other components? The manuals don't have anything about what happens if you autoclave media twice.

- Carbohydrates and other carbon sources, almost always autoclaved separately
- NaHCO3, always prepared separately and filter sterilise. Likely to decompose if autoclaved
- L-Cysteine HCl also prepared separately many times used together with Na2S and prepared in the same solution, though some recipes autoclave the cysteine with the general initial mix

I did sparge with the CO2/N2 gas mix after taking it out of the autoclave. But then, what do you do with agar? Add everything, but the carbohydrate, and then aseptically
add, before pouring the plates?
Thank you for the example. That really helps. However, for the recipe that I have, everything is in grams.....For example, it says that I have to add 0.4g NaHCO3 per 100 ml. So, in that case, should I prepare 0.4g NaHCO3 in 100 ml of DI water? But, then how can I calculate how much of that solution I need to add to my media after it comes out of the autoclave? Because, I would need to decrease the amount of DI water I use in my media correct?
The amount of starch that I'm using is 0.6g per 100 ml of media....so I would do the same thing and prepare 0.6g of soluble starch in 100 ml DI water? Sparging and then autoclaving of course.
Posted 27 November 2012 - 03:02 PM
e.g. To make 100 mL, if the final concentration of NaHCO3 is 0.4 g/100mL. Make 0.4 g in 10mL. I'm pretty sure you won't have solubility problems with bicarbonate but you have to check it for the starch.
Off course you have to subtract the volume of each separated solution to the main solution (the one with all the other things you don't do separately). In the example the recipe says to bring that solution to 900 mL before

MAXSTAR Max Out Leads Melges 32 Australian Championships
18 March 2012
The predicted 25 knot Southerly wind forecast didn't fully eventuate for day two of the Melges 32 Australian Championships.
PRO Steve Merrington from the RPAYC managed to shoot off three windward/ leeward races in around twenty knots of wind after lunch on Pittwater.
Racing was super close again and wind stronger down the shorelines, making it hard for the leaders to defend their position, it kept the racing wide open as the southerly wind phased left and right as it came off the land.
Chris Way helming The Business with local tactician Steve McConaghy have the most consistent results, four thirds and a second. The first time Melges 32 skipper said he enjoyed sailing his Farr Forty doing twelve knots but hitting sixteen and seventeen knots takes it to a new dimension. Chris describes his experience today as "awesome sailing with great rides, long nose was going off!" and when commenting on boat speed Chris said. "We are sailing with old gear and we're still going quick, sailing cats in the Formula 18's has helped with chasing the pressure."
Race three and series leader Desperado led around the top mark but by the bottom mark Geoff Masters Funnel Web sailed the shoreline shift and came from third to win the race followed over the line by a pack of about five boats and a nail biter finish.
Race four and the majority of the fleet hit long nose, Breezin lost places following their decision to go to the right on the run and Desperado struggled with jib problems upwind. Gus Reid Maxstar and his tactician Matt Owen who is the CEO of Canberra Yacht Club are experts at picking the shifts from racing on Lake Burley Griffin. Gus ordered more wind today and they got it, Maxstar was in her element and looked very composed and focused around the course winning race four.
Maxstar was always in the mix in race five and managed to take advantage of a gybing decision at the top mark to steal a win from Tasmanian Greg Prescott 2 Unlimited Sevenstar .
A presentation of prizes supplied by North Sails, Harken and SLAM was held back at the yacht club to the Boat of the Day Maxstar who heads into the final days racing in first place, two points behind is 2 Unlimited Sevenstar on equal points with The Business.
Plenty at stake tomorrow with four offshore races planned, challenging the leading lake sailors and providing a spread in the fleet.

Do we have scans of the packaging and manual?

Trunks, on 15 February 2012 - 01:30 AM, said:
Is there anything in the 8M Memory Pack? Recently Seru-kun told me of a way to check even for a Soundlink game that involves going into the "delete" menu in RPG Tsukuru 2 (this sounds highly risky, though....)
Does the SRAM appear to have anything in the save data like items?
These are the two things I tend to look for for dumping purposes.
EDIT: Also, to give some ideas of what in particular to look for, here's my ever-gorwing undumped list;
Note that it's -far- from complete and I've repeatedly ran across Satellaview data with absolutely no prior internet documentation.
There's also been Satellaview games which have been restored from "Corrupt" memory pack data, such as this;
As for scans of the boxes and manual, there's been a few pictures but nothing too high quality IIRC.
(And in terms of how I operate in relation to the Satellaview, I tend to be a mixture of the spokesperson and the general researcher. I honestly think I'm a lot less important now than I was - Seru-kun's been doing fascinating things with BS-X Project, Callis and the snesfreaks community supplied great ROM dumps, and MadHatter's been great at obtaining Japanese magazines, even including the infamous BS Zelda Magazine ad. Somehow, though, I'm still considered important, because they all tend to approach me with the Satellaview stuff. Or I approach them with Satellaview stuff. Heheh.)

The Satellaview article seems like a good read, although it seems like it's filled with hyperbole and wishful thinking (I don't think Donkey Kong Country can fit in the 8M Pack specifications) and bizarre romanization (Sento Giga?). I wonder why they posted those screens of what look like a prototype, when the next page has more traditional Satellaview mock-up art?
It seems like the Sega Channel was pretty well finalized in Japan before it came out here. I wonder if there's any Japanese test carts?

Then I saw this wonderful infomercial that I've never seen before.

I Finally fixed this, with the background and more
If you have the ROM already (I used "Sega Channel (JUE).bin"), do this fix with a hex editor:
Go to: 06612
replace 10BA10C4 with: 0DBA0DBA
And go to: 0D608
replace 12C6000045B8 with: 0D620D620D62
...Or download the fixed ROM here. ("SegaChannel_Fixed.zip")
NOTE: This is a dirty fix, it actually throws the error but I disabled it =P, again: this ROM doesn't work in Kega, use Regen or Gens

Also, how do these run on a hardware setup?
Yeah, I know it'd be a bit silly just to basically simulate a menu, but I'd still like to see it happen.

I don't think it's outside the realms of possibility to see a "remade" Sega Channel service one day. I.e. one that connects to the internet and downloads stuff. At least one of the versions dumped has a menu, it just doesn't do anything.
Retro Channel at least proves you can get Mega Drive ROMs to interface with the net after some heavy duty hacking. It's bound to lead to a "new" Sega Channel someday, even if we end up waiting decades for it.

I have tried hacking it before, but I didn't reach far, I didn't even find code for handling the cable hardware. It's so convulted it's nearly impossible to disassemble, it's almost entirely made out of function pointers, which render IDA nearly useless since about every jump or so it has to stop as it can't tell where to go next. It's a mess.
The only thing I found is code for reading port 2 in serial mode... (and in the demos the code is there but it uses port 3 instead, huh?) It could have been potentially used to enable some sort of service mode, but then again, I couldn't find any code that made use of it (if it's there, it was probably still not disassembled, I really couldn't get even remotely far from the beginning, I didn't even make it to the start-up screen).

Yeah, but the SNES community was doing complete RPG translations while the Sonic community was still discussing whether Dust Hill Zone is fake or not.
