But the gap between those who support greater protections for Grand County's federal lands and others who want more development of its natural resources appeared to be wide last week as local citizens reviewed potential recommendations the county might submit to Bishop's office.
The Utah Republican plans to introduce a public lands bill some time this summer, once county officials throughout eastern Utah have finalized their proposals.
Almost 50 citizens among the estimated 340 who crowded into the Grand Center on April 23 weighed in on a Grand County Council committee's proposed alternatives for long-term federal lands management. And almost none of them gave their unqualified support to any one of the three plans.
Some local citizens encouraged the county to push for legislation that would open more federally administered lands to oil, gas, potash and uranium developers.
"That land is opportunity," Curtis Wells said.
Darrell Dalton urged the council to scale back the committee's plans for additional wilderness. He suggested the county should work with the governor and state lawmakers to take back "our" lands, and get rid of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the National Park Service altogether.
Pro-wilderness advocates Emily Stock and Kevin Walker said the committee's proposals fell short. They argued that the county should take steps to limit development of unique landscapes – including the Spring Canyon Point area – that draw visitors from around the world.
"We don't want boom and bust followed by toxic air and water," Stock said.
"This is a crazy place to have oil and gas drilling," Walker said.
Grand County Council chairman and study committee member Lynn Jackson acknowledged that local residents have a wide range of opinions about long-term public lands management.
The committee's members are well aware that some people do not agree with its alternatives, he said, but they believe their proposals include something for everyone.
"We think we've done good job of spreading these needs and desires and creating some kind of balance," Jackson said.
The study committee identified about 10 main issues, including proposals to designate new wilderness areas and a national recreation area.
The first of the three alternatives would create 218,000 acres of wilderness, as well as a 118,000-acre national recreation area.
Under the most conservation-friendly proposal, the county would permanently protect 962,000 acres. That amounts to roughly 40 percent of the county's total land mass, according to Jackson.
Jackson believes that the council's final recommendations will include a combination of ideas from the three alternatives. But he reiterated that Utah's congressional delegation is not bound to follow any proposal the county submits.
The county council hasn't reached the decision phase yet, and conservationists called on the full board to scrap two key recommendations that show up in each of the committee's alternatives.
Antiquities Act recommendation
The first provision would limit a president's powers under the federal Antiquities Act to declare new national monuments in Grand County.
Presidents from Teddy Roosevelt to Barack Obama have used the 1906 law to protect vast swathes of land and ocean, including sites that later became Arches and Grand Canyon national parks.
Mike Duncan, who chairs the county's planning commission, said the area probably wouldn't have its national parks if past attempts to do away with the Antiquities Act had been successful.
On the other hand, Shad Schmidt said Grand County and Utah already have their share of national parks and monuments. Schmidt suggested that the council should consider the possibility of cutting back on the committee's recommendations for more protective designations.
Sego Canyon transportation corridor
A second committee recommendation could lead to the development of a proposed transportation corridor through the Book Cliffs' Sego Canyon, and some environmentalists have called that proposal a "deal killer."
They worry that a paved road or pipeline through the Book Cliffs would promote the development of "dirty" energy – including tar sands and oil shale – that would contribute to global climate change.
If eastern Utah's tar sands are developed, Castle Valley resident Jake Burnett fears it would be "game over" for the human race. Noting that the earth is a resilient place, he added, "But we're going to make it uninhabitable for humans, which the earth will probably think is a good idea."
Sarah Fields and Logan Hansen cautioned that an expanded route through the area could also harm archeological sites, including ancient petroglyphs and pictographs.
Lifelong county resident Kelly Green said he shares concerns about potential impacts to Sego Canyon's petroglyphs, but he believes any impacts to those sites could be mitigated.
In the long run, it would be much better if the existing road through the canyon was paved, Green said.
Former Grand County Commissioner Ray Tibbetts called the Book Cliffs a "treasure chest," and said he welcomes more resource development.
"Let's use it," he said. "It's time we enjoy our resources."
Access to public lands
Beyond the largely undeveloped Book Cliffs, Tibbetts said he's "tickled" to see new oil rigs "all over the place."
He opposed any efforts to create new wilderness areas in the county, noting that roads already exist in many places, including the Spring Canyon Point and the Mineral Bottom areas.
Walker, in turn, used Tibbetts' words to make the case that much of Grand County will remain open to motorized recreationists and others who fear a potential loss of public access.
Ninety percent of public lands south of the Book Cliffs and Interstate 70 are within one mile of a road, Walker said, and there will still be lots of opportunities to use those lands.
Recommendations leave out La Sal Mountains wilderness
While the committee addressed a host of issues on BLM-administered lands, it did not focus on permanent protections for U.S. Forest Service lands in the La Sal Mountains.
Jackson said the committee was not comfortable with the idea, since the Forest Service has not come up with any specific proposals to designate wilderness in the area.
But the exclusion of those lands alarmed some pro-wilderness speakers, who said the county should act to protect the watershed that feeds Moab's sole-source aquifer.
Public lands and the economy
In one way or another, activities on public lands have long driven the county's economy.
Representatives from Moab's recreation industry suggested that the county needs to move beyond the mining boom-bust cycles of the past.
Chile Pepper Bike Shop owner Tracy Reed said her business depends on clean air and clean water, and she voiced concerns about the effects that further oil and gas development could have on the Moab area.
"I have a very viable business, and I would just hate to see that go away," she said.
Walker urged the council to look at other communities that have embraced the oil and gas industry, mentioning Odessa, Texas, by name.
"They're not pleasant places to live," he said.
Supporters of more intensive natural resource development countered that the county cannot afford to base its economy on the tourist industry alone. Many local residents struggle to survive on minimum-wage salaries, and their kids often go hungry at night, several speakers said.
Local educator Mary Irvin called for a balanced approach that protects some areas, while allowing for development that helps workers who are the backbone of the county's economy.
Dusty Wilson said area residents struggle to survive on wages paid by tourist-based businesses.
Mineral development, in contrast, is a viable industry that has kept local residents employed for generations, he said.
"You people don't understand," Wilson said. "We're still here. We're sustainable and we don't need a babysitter."
The county will be accepting written public comments on the committee's alternatives until May 7; emails will not be accepted. Written comments should be sent to: Grand County, Attention: Public Lands, 125 E. Center St., Moab UT 84532.
The county council will review the comments before voting on final recommendations to Bishop's office and Utah's congressional delegation.
Copies of the maps outlining each of the committee's three alternatives can be found on the county's website at: www.grandcountyutah.net/landuse.htm; the maps have also been posted in the hallway near the west entrance of the Grand County Courthouse.
Watershed council to host public lands initiative meeting
Grand County's public lands initiative alternatives will be the focus of a May 5 "citizens meeting" at the Moab Arts and Recreation Center, 111 East 100 North.
The Canyonlands Watershed Council and Chris Baird are hosting the event, which is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m.
The group will be providing maps, sharing information and moderating a discussion that will focus on everything from motorized and non-motorized recreation to oil, gas and mining development. Other discussion topics will include the proposed Sego Canyon transportation corridor and conservation-related issues.
For more information, or to request specific discussion topics, call Baird at: 435-260-1431, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Bieber Disses Lindsay Lohan Amid Rehab Rumors
In a statement posted to Instagram on Thursday, Justin Bieber laid into the media (and Lindsay Lohan) about claims that he is entering rehab, adding that despite what others are advising, he's no longer out to "keep the press happy."
Posting the rant with little punctuation or grammar, Bieber begins by saying: "I'm tired of all the countless lies in the press right now. Saying I'm going to rehab and how my family is disappointed in me. My family is beyond proud."
The 19-year-old Baby singer adds: "If Anyone believes i need rehab thats their own stupidity lol I'm 19 with 5 number one albums, 19 and I've seen the whole world. 19 and I've accomplished more than I could've ever dreamed of, i'm 19 and it must be scary to some people to think that this is just the beginning. I know my talent level and i know i got my head on straight. i know who i am and i know who i'm not My messege is to to believe."
This statement comes after Bieber's rough 19th birthday week. The teen heartthrob's London party never happened, he had a health scare during one of his concerts and he lunged at a paparazzi. Needless to say, media outlets were on hand to report on all the instances.
"I honestly don't care if you don't believe in me because I believe in me, and look where that's gotten me so far.. I'm writing this with a smile on my face and love in my heart," Bieber continues on about the rehab rumors. "Letting u know first hand how I feel rather than have these story linger. I'm a good person with a big heart. And don't think I deserve all of this negative press I've worked my ass off to get where I am and my hard work doesn't stop here. i'm growing up finding myself while having people watch me and criticise me everyday i think im doing pretty damn good."
However, Bieber couldn't just leave it at that. He had to end his rant by taking a dig a Lilo. "And to those comparing me to Lindsey Lohan," he writes. "Look at her 2012 tax statements."
He posted this, deleted it, and reposted without the lindsay dig.

Benazir Bhutto
As leader of the opposition in the National Assembly of Pakistan, I have to open the debate on the budget proposal tomorrow.
I get up today and head straight for the big bundle of budget documents which the finance minister has placed on the floor of the National Assembly.
It made me think of my university days.
When I graduated from university in the '70s, I was thrilled. My education was over. A life of exams, grades, waiting for results was part of the past.
I was wrong.
Life is one big exam.
And whether it is an election, a speech, a court decision, or a domestic matter, I am always wondering whether I am going to pass or fail, whether I am going to make the grade or not.
Some days are good. Some days are not. As Lady Thatcher once said to me, "In politics always expect the unexpected." I would only add, in life always expect the unexpected.
I finish the first reading of the budget documents by lunch time. I find that the Intelligence Bureau of Pakistan spent one-third over its allocation.
Was this huge expenditure to rig the general elections held this February, to fund my opponents, to bribe witnesses into giving false statements, or to bribe journalists into writing negative stories? These questions whirl in my mind.
Last November, my government was dismissed by presidential decree on the eve of our signing an agreement with the International Monetary Fund.
A witch hunt was launched. It still continues. That night of November 4, 1996, my husband was kidnapped by security agents. He was produced 48 hours later after we raised a hue and cry. For eight months he has languished in a prison cell in solitary confinement, with temperatures soaring to 48ºC. He has not been indicted in a single case so far, despite the government's tall claims that he was "The King of Corruption."
My cousin Fakhri comes to our house along with her three grandchildren. I send them, along with my own three kids, to have pizza and chocolate cake. They shout with delight. Children are so easy to please. What happens to us when we become adults?
Mummy, Fakhri, and I have lunch. The cook has made "Karri." It is made with yogurt and gram flour. Mummy says it is delicious so her cook must have made it.
Mummy has just returned from a religious pilgrimage. She says she prayed really hard for me and our party workers, and things are going to get better. Let us hope so.
After lunch we sip green tea and chat until the sound of shouts and screams heralds the return of the children. The kids now demand to see a cartoon.
I do not like my children watching cartoons. But I am feeling guilty. I have to catch a flight to Islamabad where the Parliament is based. So I cave in.
As I come down the stairs to leave for the airport, my 7-year-old daughter, Bakhtwar, looks up. Casually waving, she says, "Bye, it was nice seeing you. Come back soon."
"What do you mean," I say. "I am your mother. I am stuck to you like that arm of yours for life."
"But, Mama, my arm keeps going away," she complains.
"But it always comes back," I reply.
"Yes, it does, it does," says my 8-year-old son, Bilawal, as he gives me a hug.
On the flight I see my mother-in-law. We say hello. She says the regime is still bothering my father-in-law. He is in Lahore, meeting lawyers in connection with politically motivated allegations made against him.
I write my speech by hand during the two-hour plane journey from Karachi to Islamabad. I rush home and into my study to complete the speech. Once the draft is finished I call my party leaders to vet the draft. While they are doing that, I binge on pizza and chocolate cake.
It is four in the morning by the time we finish. We leave the speech for typing, translation, and copying and call it a day.

Waking up to do farm chores like feeding pigs, gathering fresh eggs and laying out bedding for a chirping crew of baby chicks is exactly the type of life Southold couple Tom and Brianne Hart, both 29, had dreamed of.
They began raising livestock on rented property in Orient in 2012. And in December, with the support of their families, the Harts realized their dream when they purchased a 10-acre farm on Main Road in Southold, officially establishing Deep Roots Farm. (more…)

March 1, 2006
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - One day after being signaled as the 2006 NEWMAC Player of the Year, senior Mike D'Auria carried the Engineers on the offensive end with a game-high 22 points as No. 2 seed MIT (21-8) pushed past No. 7 Plymouth State University (16-11), 60-55, in the quarterfinal round of the ECAC Division III New England Men's Basketball Tournament. With the win, the Cardinal and Gray will travel to Norton, Mass., to face NEWMAC rival and No. 6 seed Wheaton College, which advanced with an 82-65 win over No. 3 Emmanuel College.
The Panthers jumped out to leads of 7-1 and 11-6 with a solid perimeter attack, but six consecutive points from D'Auria equaled the score at 10:10 of the first half. On the Engineers ensuing possession, Will Mroz finished on a baseline drive as MIT grabbed a 15-13 lead. Kevin Boutilier answered for PSU on its next possession to deliver the first of five ties during the final seven minutes of the half. Neither unit led by more than four points the rest of the way. Plymouth State junior Mike Walcek nailed a three with 21 seconds left in the period to close the books on the first half scoring and give the Panthers a 31-29 edge at the break.
The Engineers asserted control early in the second half, but were unable to take advantage on the offensive end. Tremendous defensive pressure forced PSU into three consecutive turnovers, while nearly seven minutes fell off the clock before the Panthers scored their first field goal of the frame. The Engineers scored the first 11 points of the half, while senior Danny Kanamori hit a three to cap the run with 14:11 left in regulation. The deep bucket gave MIT a 40-31 lead; it's largest of the night.
After a timeout by Plymouth State head coach John Scheinman, the Panthers responded with a 12-4 run. Mark Dunham concluded the comeback with a triple from the corner to give PSU a 45-44 lead with 9:34 to go. D'Auria answered for MIT with a deuce on the next trip down the floor, while Alex Krull connected for one of Tech's 3 three-point field goals to extend the margin to four.
While MIT shot a season-low 17.6% (3-of-17) from beyond the arc, the deep ball kept the Panthers in contention. Plymouth State grabbed its final lead of the night when Brandon Boggs and Mark Dunham knocked down back-to-back three's, the second coming with 3:49 still on the clock.
Trailing, 55-53, the Engineers attacked the basket and were rewarded as D'Auria and rookie Jimmy Bartolotta combined for six straight free throws to swing the game back in MIT's favor, 59-55. Plymouth State missed its final four shots, which all came from three-point range as MIT secured its first win ever in the ECAC Tournament.
D'Auria finished 8-of-8 from the free-throw line and 7-of-14 from the floor, while dishing out five assists. Kanamori also had five feeds, in addition to seven points and a game-best four steals. Bartolotta and Krull each chipped in eight, while sophomore Hamidou Soumare continued a strong late-season surge with a career-high 16 rebounds and four points on 2-of-2 shooting.
Dunham paced four PSU players in double-figures with 14 points. Mike Walcek added 13 points on 6-of-9 shooting and grabbed a team-high eight boards. Boutilier dropped in 12 from the middle, while Boggs finished with 11 points and five assists. Phil Bourassa led all players with six dimes.

Verizon Thinks 'The Most Important Concept Of Net Neutrality' Is Giving Verizon More Money
from the feel-healthy-yet? dept
Verizon's defeat of the FCC's neutrality rules was a double-edged sword for the company. On the one hand, they killed the rules (which they helped craft with Google and AT&T, and as a result did little), but on the other end, their real goal was to kill FCC authority to regulate broadband for good. Instead, the court re-enforced that the FCC does in fact have some (albeit shaky) authority to regulate broadband providers and impose neutrality rules, they just have to argue their case differently. All in all, things are murky as hell on the net neutrality front, but apparently not for Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam:
"McAdam addressed the U.S. Federal Communications Commission's proposed net neutrality rules during a conference call about the company's acquisition of Vodafone's 45 percent stake in Verizon Wireless. The FCC's move this month to resurrect net neutrality rules should provide "clarity" for the broadband industry, said McAdam, whose company successfully challenged an old version of the regulations in court."So McAdam apparently believes by throwing a stick in the spokes and killing the existing neutrality rules (which again, most ISPs liked because they did little to nothing, and didn't touch wireless), his company has brought "clarity." But what McAdam thinks is the most important thing for people to take away from the neutrality discussion is that paying Verizon increasingly more money is the truly important part:
"McAdam dismissed concerns that his company would selectively block or slow some Web content. "We make our money by carrying traffic," he said. "That's how we make dollars. So to view that we're going to be advantaging one over the other really is a lot of histrionics, I think, at this point." But McAdam suggested that broadband power users should pay extra. "It's only natural that the heavy users help contribute to the investment to keep the Web healthy," he said. "That is the most important concept of net neutrality."That people already paying an arm and a leg for bandwidth never somehow pay their "fair share" has long been the cornerstone of the industry's effort to impose usage caps and overage on wireless and wired networks alike. In reality, it has never been about heavy users paying more, it has always been about all users paying more. And more. And more. One thing I believe Verizon can take comfort in is that while there's some uncertainty about what the new FCC rules will be, I think they'll largely be superficial in nature and will go to great lengths to avoid tramping Verizon's right to make the Internet "healthier" through abusive pricing practices.

Natty's Summer Dress for Fall
Added Nov 9, 2011
by nattyjane
Berkeley, Califo...
My boyfriend tells me that I should complete my projects before I start on new ones, and I guess this dress is the perfect example of why that's some good advice. I think I started making this dress back in May, but only just this past weekend got around to finishing it! Despicable, right?
Anyway, I made this dress following Grainline's Tiny Pocket Dress tutorial which explains how to turn her Tiny Pocket Tank into a dress with a button placket. My own alterations to the pattern included lowering the neckline in the back and adding a drawstring casing and drawstring around the waist. The buttons and the fabric were both purchased secondhand.
Yes, it would have been a wonderful summer dress, but luckily it works well with a sweater and tights for fall.
Also on my blog! nattyjanesews.blogspot.com

Floral print rayon, buttons.

Oddities: Delightfully Bizarre Ceramic Animals by Debra Broz
I've never seen a bunny-satyr in the wild, but I was instantly charmed by this ceramic one. Austin artist Debra Broz uses her skills in china restoration to meld kitschy thrift-store finds into creatures that are delightfully bizarre (and perhaps a little disturbing).
A rabbit with the head of a cockatiel, a two-headed lamb, an oddly gangly elephant — her creations are absurd but also strangely familiar, as if they sprang from a half-forgotten Greek myth, or perhaps a Tim Burton film. Maybe the reason I'm drawn to them is that I had a certain weakness for adorable ceramic animals in my youth. These still retain an element of cuteness, but they're a little more grown-up, transformed for a decidedly adult sensibility of a world that is not quite right.
From the artist:
In the "Oddities" series of ceramic works, I use my training in china restoration to seamlessly recontextualize each found object through addition, subtraction or recombination of pieces and parts. Emulating the hand of the original craftsperson, I transition one part into another. My work is strongly informed by processes like genetic mutation, symbiotic relationships, grafting and DNA manipulation, and reflects my love for black humor, subversion, and anomalies.

WINCHESTER civic chiefs are considering trying to buy a former city pub and building homes on the site.
City councillors discussed the New Queens Head site in Stanmore in confidential session at the overview and scrutiny committee on Monday (FEB18).
Bargate Homes had twice applied for planning permission to knock down the pub and build houses as well as a convenience store.
The developer has now ended its interest in the plot which is still owned by Enterprise Inns.
The Chronicle understands the city council is potentially interested in purchasing the site. It also owns land adjacent to the site which would make it a more attractive site for housing.
The New Queens Head is the last pub in Stanmore following the closure in 2009 of the Stanmore Hotel. It was later demolished to make way for a care home.
Winchester City Council is currently carrying out a 'Call for Sites' exercise to find places to be considered for new housing.
The deadline for submission of such sites is Noon tomorrow (Friday February 22).
The exercise comes just a week after Winchester local plan part 1 was approved by a planning inspector.
James Cleary, managing director of Hursley-based Pro Vision Planning and Design, said of the 'call for sites': "Now the strategy is in place the focus will now shift towards the identification of sites to make up development land allocations needed in settlements such as Bishop's Waltham, Alresford and Kings Worthy where a wide range of alternatives will be considered."

text: So I've been using 2008R2 as a domain controller for a while now. Historically, whenever I've had to use the server I have done so on the primary Administrator account which is created during install. Just recently my circumstances have changed and I have decided to create additional administrator accounts so that myself and the other admins don't have to share the 'primary' admin account when working on the server. However, when I log on with another account which has been put into the Administrators group, Internet Explorer will last for a couple of minutes (or about 3 web pages in) before it stops loading any content and becomes unresponsive. I am currently using IE10 although the problem was also happening before I upgraded from IE9. The main Administrator account still runs IE fine. Changing browser is not an option, and yes I have tried a full system re-install and the problem persists. Anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it? We cannot continue using the main Admin account and we need to be able to access web-pages. Thanks in advance for your advice

They had quite a turnout and it looks very festive with the girls decked out with flowers and ribbons.
And on the next page we see some more photos, although I'm not sure these are from May Day. Fortunately for me, she wrote lots of captions in her scrapbook that helps me identify what's here.
|Sis, Ruth,, Elizabeth, Hollie, Marion, Rachel and Loraine
And here are the boys.
Oh those boys? I wonder what they might have done to warrant that description? Again, no classmates jump out at me except Elbert could be John Ebert Hitchcock.
She wrote a few things on this page but nothing really makes sense. I'm guessing that the mementos she wrote about have disappeared for the last 100 years. But there are a few menus that are interesting - I've never heard of an egg drink before.
Looks like Matt may have been someone special in her life as they had a "big time" together. Sure would like to know the story around that.
|For a little hook,
In your memory book.
I sure like seeing the things that were important to her back then. How I wish I'd come across this when she was still living so she could tell me more about these things. I guess I'll just have to use my imagination.

DESCRIPTIONA simple track which features repeated bass smashes along with drums. In the background are some techy-sounding synths, that keep the momentum driving forward. All in all, this is simply a powerful cinematic track in the style of modern sci-fi blockbuster films.
At the end, there are a couple of drum hits to help punctuate whatever message you are trying to get across with your product.
Track available in both WAV and MP3 format. Please contact me if you need additional music editing.
Thanks for listening. I hope you will find a good use for this track in your projects.

But Olivia, I understand.
I don't wish that kind of conflicted love on anyone but Olivia, I understand.

But Olivia, I understand.
I don't wish that kind of conflicted love on anyone but Olivia, I understand.
The pressure lifted from my heart. I could feel it lifting. I was in the middle of making a collage (what, doesn't everyone do a collage to work out the angst & anxiety?) and as an epiphany hit me visually, my heart opened up. It wasn't heavy with disappointment and regret. It wasn't the fluttering of butterflies that happens when you see a crush, but had the same effect: lightness, joy, contentment.
A good moment! Maybe I can make it happen more often?

Here's a snippet of a post from our friends over at Accepted:
Accomplishments constitute the bread and butter of personal statements and application essays. Nothing too exciting in that statement. However, a fascinating brainstorming session on Accepted's Editor Mailing List reveals that applicants don't always know what an accomplishment is. What goes into this application staple?
- The bread: Impact. Your accomplishment must show you as a contributor who has had a significant impact on a person, organization, or entity. Your accomplishment could be that you increased membership, led a team to victory, built a coalition in student government that did something fantastic, increased sales, cut costs, or found a solution to a problem that enabled a critical deal to go forward.
- The butter: Obstacles overcome. This is not fluff. Overcoming lack of resources be they time, money, innate talent, or people magnifies your accomplishment many fold. Since we rarely have enough of everything for plans to go smoothly, make sure you tell the story of the difficulties you faced.
And what if you like jam with it? What would sweeten the dish?
- The jam: Leadership. Yes, your accomplishment could be a purely individual and personal one. And that dish would satisfy, but for most fields, an accomplishment involving others where you influence, motivate, persuade, cajole, and lead will turn your bread and butter into a delectable delicacy.

I was on a four-hour flight last week. I have a major problem with airsickness, so I don't fly unless I have to, but, well, this time I had to. So I armed myself with my Dramamine, ginger tablets, etc., and boarded the plane. Then a guy sits down next to me with a full bag of food from McDonald's. Even the unopened bag had a really strong, onion-y, fried food smell. As it happened, he stashed the bag in his carry-on and never took it out again during the flight (which made me wonder if he thought it would still be tasty more than four hours later?) so it wasn't a problem for me. However, that got me wondering what the e-hell minions think about the subject of taking food on airplanes. I've always felt that, in such close and airless quarters, passengers should try to be as odorless as possible (including no perfume, and please, please, take a shower the morning of the flight!).
I do understand that a four-hour flight might make one peckish for something other than peanuts and pretzels, but I kind of feel like something like a turkey sandwich would be more polite than a burger and fries!
So, what do you think? And, if he had brought out the food, would I have been rude to say, "I'm sorry, but I get really airsick, and I think that smell is going to make me throw up"? My airsickness isn't his problem, and yet… 0818-13
With more airlines offering no frills travel which then puts the impetus on travelers to feed themselves during the flight, I think one must expect to experience all kinds of olfactory sensations. A McDonald's meal is pretty ubiquitous but I do agree that it has a particular odor. I worked at a McDonald's decades ago when a teen and there is a smell to the trashcans that is distinctly a McDonald's smell no matter where you go in the US. It could have been worse. He could have brought sushi on board to eat.

The Chargers have endured plenty of injuries to receivers in recent weeks. None have been quite as scary as the one that occurred on Saturday.
Michael Gehlken of U-T San Diego reports that veteran Eddie Royal hit the ground hard while making a catch during team drills. After on-field evaluation from trainers, an ambulance arrived to take Royal to a local hospital.
Initially, Royal got up after the catch and walked toward the trainers room. He stopped on the way, and trainers worked on him there.
The ambulance wasn't already present at practice. Unless the session was simply a walkthrough, an ambulance always should be present at practice.
If it was a walkthrough, Royal's injury suggests that an ambulance should be present for those sessions, too.

That wasn't the first time we had that dicussion either.
The thing is, air transport vehicles are neccessary even for flight mages because flight drains magic just like fighting. Sure, they could fly 50km to the operation site on their own, but they won't be able to do much fighting once they get there. Even less if they have to fly 50km back to base on their own.

Midchilda Helicopters might be faster than mage flight
The skillset needed for aerial dogfighting and long distance flight are different
Dogfighting needs acceleration and maneuverability. Travel needs sustained top speed
Additionally, In episode 18 of StrikerS, Nanoha said that Subaru's traveling speed on land is faster than her flight. Granted, she was carrying Teana, though.

EDIT: looks like I need to elaborate a bit. Teleportation for ultra-long range, antigrav/jet-VTOL (basically like helicopters, but without big rotor-blades as huge HIT ME! signs) for long-range and shorter.
I'm not just questioning the existence of helicopters here, I'm questioning their design philosophy. Considering the Bureau's level of technology, they could have at least an air transport like this. Or this.

Not that I know how to differentiate this thread fromt he general discussion thread, but it is a speculative topic.
I was wondering what personality Einhalt should have given what we've seen. There is Shy, meek fate clone, confident battle maniac. Then there Strauss. There must be something in here that' can be derived from this better than what we have so far. I guess I need this for fanfic writing

The Vivid manga does a fine job at showing her personality, so I suggest reading through what's been scanned once or twice. She's serious and confident when it comes to combat and general life, but when someone enters her personal space and starts getting intimate she starts getting flustered because she doesn't quite know how to handle it. She's also better than Fate at keeping up a poker-face.

What Keroko is saying.
If Gears of Destiny is to be believed, Einhart isn't so controlled that she always holds back enough. What with her victory pose/quote of adorable fear as she asks if her opponent is all right.
Though in the manga, I don't recall her being anything but disappointed after laying someone out on the ground.

In the manga, that was how Einhart was in the beginning before having friends, only obsess with getting stronger so she would be disappointed with opponents not able to push her to full fighting limit.
Later when she have friends, she relax a little and become less obsess in getting strong only and thus have more room to show her quiet and caring side. Loners are freaks no?

Lol, i've been translating some stuff from the AEC and apparently the reason why Hayate doesn't have one is because the complexity of her magic (hybrid Mid and Belka) makes difficult for Caledfwlch Techniques to make a dedicated unit to her. Funny, i tought being mass weapons they could be able to suck the energy out of any mage regardless of their magic system. (Example, Strike Cannons being used by Belkan and Mid practicioners alike, heck even an EC Driver uses one).

I had a lot of respect for Kajika's strength of personality after the first episode. She lost some of my respect in the second episode though. It wasn't that she thought that Mustafa's soul inhabited Eugene's body that put me off per se. It was her insistence that everyone else accept the idea and how she handled the situation that bugged me. Her actions bordered on arrogance. Not to mention, she came close to stalker territory in going after Eugene like she did.
Speaking of Eugene... I gotta wonder about a man who finds a 14-year-old girl sitting on the steps to his apartment complex. A girl he might have briefly seen one time before at best. A girl who insists that he's the reincarnation of a leopard. He then invites her into his apartment and casually talks with her without a clue as to who she is. (Remember, he didn't know she was the Barnesworth heiress until they had been talking in his apartment for a while.)
Quite honestly, I thought both of them had some screws loose during that whole event.

Personally for me, 'perfect' is boring, especially having seen the cookie cutter characters for the umpteenth time in anime romance shows.
As such, I find Kajika to be by far the most interesting character of the show, especially when you compare her to the likes of Li Ren, who so far looks to be another 'boring' perfect character that can do anything and everything (head of a big company, smart, AND is a much better protector of Kajika than her supposed bodyguard?). I also have a stinking feeling that the three groom prospects wouldn't be too far from Li Ren, judging by the father's descriptions of them, and by the fact that this is a reverse harem show.
So yeah, I actually welcome Kajika's faults in this episode. It shows that despite how mature and strong her personality might seem, she's still a spoiled rich brat in the end.

Okay I saw ep 1 and part of 2. I don't know the complexity of the story so I can only see it from a simple POV. The father has this only daughter that he treasures so very much and he wants the best for her (and it means the best partner who is also her true love. I'll be just happy with this intention and not brew any conspiracy theory.) I surmise the length of the story mainly must be focusing on letting Kajika finding her true love (and at the same time come to an understanding what love really is. Along the way, the process needs to crack Li Ren's mask and this guy must be the chosen charming prince. He has advantage point of "the guy who was always there." It's always safe betting on dark hair dude. But then there's another dark hair dude who hasn't come out yet. We all know the girl rarely picks light hair foreign dudes unless he's the only choice.)
Anyways, at this point Kajika's understanding of love is still very child-like hence the belief that love must the emotion she shared with Musafa and seeing a male with similar features give her some illusions.
Whatever the case may be, I'll see where it goes but so far me like this harem very much.

Episode 2 was pretty interesting. I certainly didn't expect Kajika to ramble on about leopard's spirit and stuff, but it wasn't to the point of being annoying or down right stupid. I'm really interested to see the other possible groom candidates too.
Hmm I wonder what are the chances that Li Ren is one of the choosen groom.

One qualities that I hate in reverse harem is guys easily falling in love with the girl due to simple reasons like the heroine saying something intelligent, or the heroine being a passive girl that needs to be protected by all the males around (i.e maiden of suzaku -_-) or she has some sacred item that all the guys want etc. Luckily I don't feel that vibe in this anime, and like I always say, the weirder the heroine, the better. Kajika is no Nodame and Kyoko Mogami though but I do think she's borderline "out there" with them as well.

2. Eugene is also consistent. He's a selfish and irresponsible Casanova. Of course he'd invite that 14-year-old on the steps into his apartment.

Well, it's safe to say that this is melodrama, and if you want to be critical, it's pretty silly melodrama as well, particularly since "logic" isn't really a strong suit for a lot of these characters. But it's strangely enjoyable melodrama. I think you gotta be willing to suspend your disbelief and really cut the characters a lot of slack to get anything out of this. Nonetheless, for now, I don't mind where this is going.

i just say ep 5. it was interesting. but i have to say this. it looks like the next 10 -15 eps will be introducing characters and there problems. which if we remember that this is a anime with 39 eps will probably be have the series. so either the plot is going to be faced paced with awesomeness or this has the potential to be (do i dare say it, yes i shall) the new dragonaut. Dragonaut with its brilliant start and crap end. But i watch this show for 2 reasons. First: people have hinted that she will definitely choose one or the other and not end with not choosing any of the gentlemen. Second: regardless of what potential the anime has to be a dud we cant say an anime is a dud unless it gets up to that point.

I really do wonder how this series affects female watchers. I mean, I'm a guy, but the forced pregnancy issues last episode and the 'woman!' comments this episode still is enough to churn my stomach. I really only tolerate it because I know the source material is practically 2 decades old already.
Anyways, I do think that Harry is a freaking genious. Only vaguely saying that Kajika would know who are the three people he chose upon meeting them was just fantastic on his part. He doesn't have to lift a finger, because since Kajika is that age, she'd be drawn towards certain people anyways regardles of the game or not. I'm of the opinion that Harry really did choose no one... he's just letting Kajika's hormones do his dirty work lol.
As for this episode, I just can't help but squeal that the uncle thinks that because Harry chose Li Ren to protect her, Harry has already decided that its him to be her husband. Well, it certainly is supported by the fact that as far as whats shown so far, its only Li Ren Harry allowed an outsider to visit Kajika on the island. XD

A thoughtful housewarming present for a client not only shows how much you appreciate their custom – it celebrates a momentous life event. Buying a new home is a serious investment, and giving a gift demonstrates you understand this. Take inspiration from our list of suggestions to ensure you leave a lasting, positive impression on your clients.
Planting a tree in the grounds of a property represents the action of establishing roots in a new home. For smaller gardens, a lavender tree works perfectly as it stays a modest size. On large estates a fruit tree, such as fig or apple, will supply seasonal fresh fruit once the plant has grown. If the clients have invested in a property with no garden – a penthouse, for example – a Japanese bonsai tree is more suitable. The bonsai tree is a traditional symbol of good fortune, as well as peace, balance and harmony.
Gifts for foodies
Kitchen gadgets like juicers and bread makers are perfect for clients who like to cook, and spend lots of time in the kitchen. If there are farmers' markets or craft producers in the new neighbourhood, then a hamper of local produce – artisan breads, organic preserves and speciality cheeses – makes an excellent housewarming gift. A cookery book inscribed with a note from you will add a thoughtful finishing touch.
Gifts for art lovers
Consider commissioning an artist to create an original painting or pen-and-ink drawing of the new property. This present will be truly unique, and provides a lasting memento of the home. Alternatively, try and source a vintage photograph of your client's new neighbourhood. A large framed print will combine interesting local history with artistic sentiment.
Personalised gifts
Even if you don't know your clients well, it is possible to commission them a personalised gift. A stationery set embossed with their initials, along with letterhead paper printed with their new address, is an elegant and unique present. You could also have a keyring embossed with the date they moved in. A bespoke bottle of champagne and a pair of glass flutes gives the owners all they need to toast their home in style.
Experience gifts
Moving house can be a stressful experience, so help your clients to unwind with an experience gift. This could be arranging dinner in a recommended local restaurant, setting up a babysitter to take care of the children and hiring a chauffeur for the evening. You could also purchase a treatment day for the new homeowners at a spa. This will allow them some much needed relaxation time in the midst of moving: after all, it is the job of a good estate agent to make the process as easy as possible.

If you grew up at the height of the Cold War and remember spending many nights in your family's fallout shelter, perhaps warm colors and relaxing patterns just don't feel homey to you. If stark gray walls are the only thing that says 'home sweet home' this faux concrete wallpaper turns any room into an emotionless bunker.
It's not going to provide an ounce of protection in the event of an atomic explosion, but designer Piet Boon's cement-like wall coverings are almost impossible to distinguish from the real thing. The high-res textures are printed on heavy-duty wallpaper so they won't fade and are easy to wipe clean, but just 30 feet of it will cost you $300. If you plan on covering every inch of wall space in a room, it might actually just be cheaper to install a concrete bunker in your basement and drag your living room furniture downstairs.
