I am actually surprised at Mio's expression when they are telling Azunyan to buy bread for them. She's happy too!
Though the part about the Golden Chocolate bread is risque at best.
Azunyan + Tsundere = Cuteness Overload
Azunyan (dere mode) : I am sorry, I didn't know I was always so....
Azunyan (tsun mode) : Wait, we need to decide on the songs!
P.S Hopefully in the bonus DVD, we get to see Azunyan changin - *IS SHOT*
P.P.S Notice that Mugi immediately goes after Yui right after the latter goes to the toilet....and the scene cuts to them playing Fude Pen because they took too long in there?

What seems strange to me is this season could be the last. Several points of interest. From the japanese forums - there is no K-On Season 3 so it will be ending. From Anime News Network, TBS just sold over $20 million dollars ( US ) in the past three months from K-ON merchandise a lone ( not DVD sells.) The K-ON ending and opening music selling like hotcakes in Japan. Blu- Rays and DVDs of the series are in the top 10 every week. This doesn't make sense to me. K-on is a money making machine and they will end it with only 2 seasons because the manga ended? I'm not sure if there is a different between Japan and American when it comes to series. If a series had this much success in the US, you can guarantee a third and fouth season without blinking an eye. I guess this is the difference in our culture.

What can I say, it's like this episode conveys that I should prepare my heart next week before their most anticipated, tear-jerking graduation finale and last few songs that they will play at school. It really has come to an end.. it shatters me when I'm thinking about it, but I'll definitely savour and love every single bit left untold. I'm thankful for being part of "them" -- witnessing their ups and downs, laughs and cries, dreams and woes.. and I'm also grateful that it always put me in a good mood when I'm feeling down and gives me strength to live just to follow all episodes for months. Cheers K-ON! and Cheers HTT!
Anyways, I really love how they carved their mementos on a recording tape, passing their music on few generations to come. When the Afterschool chime echoed through the orange twilight, it really lingers the days I had spent from my high school. I hated it with a passion that haunted me in my dreams, but those were irreplaceable and priceless memories that I gathered. I can even recall rehearsing our Alma Mater -- dry and tiring but it paid off on the latter.
Okay enough of that, we'll cry bitch tears once again filled with happiness in our hearts. The red curtains will fall soon before we know it, leaving us awestruck and melancholic at the same time.
Tissues. Tissues everywhere.
Preemptive SEASON THREE WHERE? It really is a pipe, greedy wish for now.

But (IMO) nothing is stopping them from doing various OVA's taking place at different times during the first two seasons.

Ahhh the sweet memories of graduating from high school. Though I hated high school with all my heart, I can't help but think back of when I was finally going to graduate out of the hellhole.
9/10 because I wanted to see a scary voice pop out of nowhere when the crew was recording and replaying what each person was saying. I wanted to see Mio jump out of her fear of scary stuff one more time, and that scene seemed like it was a good place to scare Mio. Replayed on the cassette recorder, Azu-nyan "Yamette".....scary scream pops out after what Azu-nyan said. lol
Still a great episode overall.

Seeing "最終回" on the preview saddens me greatly, but it is an inevitable outcome and as the saying goes, all good things must end. 24 weeks gone by all too fast. As mentioned in the episode, it is indeed their last "after school" together, probably the last time they'll be sitting in that music room drinking tea and wasting time. And to think that I'll be graduating from high school in two months time... it's been a really eventful part of my life and just like the K-ON girls, I don't wish for it to end just yet.
I'm expecting the tears to flow again next week. At least this time I'll be prepared.

There are already alot of advance markers dropped for a continuation :
1. All the girls are going to the same JWU
2. Sogabe (the first seitokai) is going to JWU too.
3. The university the girls are going to is another all-girls setting.
The only thing is the mangaka. It would depend on the artist whether to continue or not. I wouldn't say I am confident......K-ON sounds like the artist's one shot to me that became incredibly successful due to cuteness and character depth.
Even though it simply took all the female stereotypes from the manga/anime world and chunked them all together. Namely airhead, bijin, tomboy, rich girl, megane seitokai, loli and yamato nadeshiko*.
* - From another POV (aka hidden traits), it would be genius, uke, seme, lesbian, disciplinarian, tsundere and yandere respectively.

With that being said, "milking the cash cow" has a habit of backfiring. For example, many popular shonen series. As an example from the West: Star Trek. Little three-season campy sci-fi expy of the well known Western "Wagon Train" made in the late '60s. Produced eleven films and five four spin-off series. With a few exceptions, all the films ranged from mediocre (ST:1,3,4,7,8) to "Who writes this crap?" (ST:5. Every Trek film after the 8th (First Contact.)) The TV shows seemed to lose something with each iteration.
If Kakifly wants to move on from K-ON! and do something else, he's well within his rights to do so. He might come back to it someday. Which may, or may not, be a good thing. For example, the five or six fans of Tenchi Muyo are still debating the merits of the third OVA.
And besides that, what would a third season of K-ON!!! revolve around? Azusa, Ui, and Jun and their quest to find a fourth member before the light music club is disbanded due to lack of members, and suffering from the attentions of their cosplay-happy advisor, while trying to emerge from the shadow of such illustrious light music club bands as Hokago Tea Time and Death Devil? Or the original four in college . . . the drama of picking majors, the wild sorority parties, the grind of coursework, the terror of finals, and the girls discovering . . . men?
One seems like it would run the distinct risk of recycling plot lines, and exposes itself to endless comparisons to the original girls and Hokago Tea Time. The other . . . would be difficult to strike the right balance of credibility and appeal to otaku. Both would run the distinct risk of fan backlash when they go "You changed it, now it sucks!"

I really like this episode with just the girls goofing off and reflecting on their years in high school. It's pretty neat that they recorded themselves on that cassette tape we see during intermission. That totally went me go "OoOoOo!!!". And that scene where Ritsu was holding Yui on the floor made me laugh, the timing was perfect on that one. Like some of the others here, I can't help but feel that they are setting up for something after "K-ON". I hope this feeling isn't just my desperate desire for a 3rd season.

Do highschool students in Japan stop showing up for classes after they take their entrance exams?
From what I remember of highschool we were expected to attend right up till graduation (although usually about 1/3 of the class didn't bother showing up after finals.)
Another question then... during the entrance exam season do Japanese students taking them still go to school or do they just spend all their time studying for the exams? (Maybe they do both in that school becomes study time?)

Also, the 21st can't come soon enough. I hope they don't cop-out on the unaired songs and just stick them into the image CDs. Giving HTT another album release like last time would do quite well.

hairballs are actually what? I was like "seriously?!" then suddenly remembered my used stockings >.> LOL, aren't there any other terms just for that? and aren't hairballs refer to cats? =3
I found myself pouting when Yui said Nodoka was like a grad student. it's really ending
Yui: President, what is "after school" to you?
Ritsu: Let's see... A waste of time...
seriously, that's one hell of spending fun times together with the K-On girls. and I wish next episode they would pull out something fun too though we're seeing the girls graduate.

Feature: Professor Kneebone and the remarkable pop-up operating theatre
You may find a surgeon in the theatre, but you do not usually expect to see one on the stage. Professor Roger Kneebone, however, seems equally at home with both. Professor Kneebone, a Wellcome Trust Engagement Fellow, brings surgery into the public domain, creating unique events that champion open communication between medicine, science and the public. Holly Story went to the Cheltenham Literature Festival to find out more.
From my place in the theatre audience I see the whole episode, from beginning to end.
In a busy auditorium, a woman collapses, clutching her chest. As she struggles to breathe, she manages to reach a phone and dials for an ambulance. I watch nervously as two paramedics arrive on the scene, giving her oxygen and taking her by ambulance to the emergency unit at the local hospital. There, she is whisked into surgery and a skilled surgeon performs a coronary angioplasty to remove a blockage in her artery and insert a stent, alleviating her pain and preventing cardiac arrest.
It is uncomfortable to watch, but the woman is not in any danger. This is the opening of Professor Roger Kneebone's sell-out live performance at the 2012 Cheltenham Literature Festival.
A tale of the unexpected
Entitled 'Emergency Room: Cardiac arrest', Roger Kneebone's show uses simulation to give the audience an insight into what happens, inside and out, when a person suffering from a heart attack is taken into hospital: what happens after the ambulance disappears into the distance carrying your relative, your friend, or you.
He has been creating a stir with such staged simulations since 2007, when he produced an event for the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition in London. Over the next five years, Kneebone and team toured the show to venues and festivals up and down the country, performing for audiences of all ages and abilities. They have appeared on television and performed at the Science Museum in London, and they are booked for their first music festival next year.
For Kneebone, "these events are a way of deliberately opening up the closed worlds of surgery or coronary care, or indeed scientific research, to members of the public."
Central to the show is the 'igloo'. Placed on stage, this semi-circular inflatable room becomes the 'pop-up' operating theatre where Kneebone's team conduct their simulated surgeries. It is an ideal touring performance space, but Kneebone originally designed the igloo as a training tool.
"I've always been interested in education, right from the beginning," he says. "I spent a year teaching anatomy when I was practising as a surgeon early in my career. Then, after moving into general practice in the early '90s, I became involved in developing the national training programme for minor surgery.
"At that time simulation was just beginning to be used. I'm now Professor of Surgical Education at Imperial College London and a lot of my research is around the use and development of simulation."
In the UK, surgical teams can be trained in high-tech, high-cost simulation facilities that replicate, as closely as possible, real operating theatres. This may be effective, but access to such facilities is severely limited. In comparison, the igloo is inexpensive and can be transported in the back of a van.
To keep costs and equipment to a minimum, the designers focused on creating a space that gave a 'powerful sense' of the operating theatre, rather than producing a detailed reconstruction. Kneebone likens it to painting a picture in broad brush strokes: "It's not about the detail. It's about the impression of the picture when viewed as a whole and at a glance."
This is what makes the pop-up theatre such an effective setting for staged simulations. In its blue-tinged space are arranged a few 2D props, some high-tech imaging equipment and an operating table complete with realistic prosthesis. Absorbed in the performance, the audience does not see a cardboard cutout and a dummy on a trolley. They see and hear a heart-rate monitor bleeping in the background and flinch as the surgeon makes her first incision.
Doctor, doctor
Although the surgery is performed on a prosthetic torso, the medics themselves are the genuine article. In all of his events, Kneebone endeavours to bring real experts into contact, and conversation, with the public.
He says, "If they look like a surgeon, [to an audience] they are a surgeon. In our case all the clinicians you see are actually clinicians. They bring with them expert knowledge, energy and enthusiasm, and that has an electric effect on audiences. They're the magic ingredient. The people who take part in public engagement work need to be passionate; they need to love doing it. But they need to know what they're talking about as well."
And it is not just the audience who reap the benefits. Kneebone regards the events as an opportunity to test out developing research with different audiences and get their feedback. Many of the practicing medics on Kneebone's team are students or alumni of his Master's programme at Imperial, and he encourages them to use the events to learn something themselves.
"Traditionally, I think public engagement has been very much about showing the public things they didn't already know, but it hasn't worked so much in the other direction. I'm passionate about using public engagement as a two-way process, which I hope will illuminate the clinicians and the scientists, and make them think differently, as well as the public."
Open minds
In addition to clinicians, Kneebone's team includes experts from other fields: psychologists, designers, engineers, the media, social scientists. He also collaborates with a network of other professionals from dancers to bomb disposal experts. One of his most enduring partnerships has been with bespoke tailor Joshua Byrne.
"Both of us have been very surprised at how closely our worlds coincide. At first, you might not think there was anything in common between a tailor and a surgeon. But as soon as you think about it, you begin to see the parallels. There are technical things, of course – sewing and joining – but there are also professional things. The relationship between a tailor and his customer is really very similar to that between a surgeon and his patient. It's about trust, high standards, perfectionism. Talking about these parallels has made us see our own worlds differently."
The exchange of ideas and perspectives between the pair has lasted several years. Byrne delivers an annual lecture for Kneebone's students at Imperial and regularly contributes to his events. Both men value the opportunity to consider their profession from a fresh perspective.
"As a surgeon, or a scientist, or anything really, you tend to be contained within the closed world of your expertise," Kneebone says. "It's difficult to look beyond it and see yourself as others see you."
With this in mind, he has begun exploring the notion of surgery as a craft. "Surgeons do things with their hands that require great dexterity and precision, and to them that's a very important part of their identity and what they do," he explains.
"But surgeons aren't the only people who feel that. I've been talking to sculptors and stonemasons and musical instrument makers and boot makers and tailors and a whole lot of people who work with their hands. It is these different kinds of discussions that can really change your perspective. Undoubtedly, they've changed the way I see my world; they've also, for some of them at least, changed the way these other craftspeople see their worlds."
Much of Kneebone's work is driven by his desire to generate discussion and challenge people to think afresh. His events teach people about biology, surgical procedures and the skilful work of medical practitioners. They may inspire children to study science or encourage someone to give up smoking. But above all, they aim to open your mind and make you think.
He recalls asking one group of primary school pupils the question: what is a heart attack? "It's when your heart attacks you!" answered one girl, enthusiastically. She wasn't wrong, he says. It was just an interesting way of looking at it.

This is the most brilliant work, reminding us of the significance of operating theatres, being just that. Theatres. Theatres for learning, not just by medics, but as information spaces in the public interest, for a plethora of reasons, which go to the heart of a place that Public Engagement in Science has left behind in the last centuries.
In the 17th Century, many theatres were public spaces, or at least opened once a year to be so. Rembrandt's 'Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp' (16th January, 1632) gives us a snapshot, what would now be a PR photo, of an event, one to which students, colleagues and the general public were invited to attend on payment of an entrance fee. When science today is so constantly in a state of 'Renaissance', sometimes lost in the digital storm of our Information Age, it is important to be reminded of the simple excitement of 'show-and-tell', that our forefathers knew so intuitively.
By highlighting topics such as dexterity and tying them in with other skills, this project opens up channels of communication and empathy that deserve grand applause.

ITEM 114-1003-R0302 Approval of a Certificate in Environmental and Natural Resources Law; The University of Montana-Missoula
THAT: The Board of Regents of Higher Education authorizes the School of Law of The University of Montana to award a Certificate in Environmental and Natural Resources Law to those students who successfully complete the requirements for the Certificate in connection with the completion of their requirements for the Juris Doctorate degree.
EXPLANATION: Law school programs across the country exhibit an increased emphasis on specialization, reflecting the trend toward specialization in law practice. In an effort to recognize students who concentrate legal studies in a particular area, recognized law schools have initiated "certificate programs." As a result of this trend, prospective students look for a law school that offers a certificate program in an area in which they intend to specialize. In addition, law firms and other legal employers look for certificates to distinguish students who have exhibited an interest and obtained a level of background in a particular area of legal studies. During the 1999-2000 academic year, the Law School faculty undertook a year-long review of its curriculum. The faculty approved a single certificate program: Environmental and Natural Resources Law. The Law School has long prided itself on its program in this area--a natural niche for The University of Montana--and it represents the single area in which the Law faculty agreed the depth and breadth of offerings supported a certificate program. It also represents the most popular subject for certificate programs across the country.
The completed signature page resides on file at the President's Office, The University of Montana-Missoula.

Between useless characters, sudden "change of mind" characters, and characters with promise of an awesome BG who turn out to have been slave in the past, I don't think she was this bad devellopped in the end.
I'd be the first one whining about the change of devellopemnt but in the end she is still one of the most devellopped character of season 2, and by far. Which is awesome since every character who is not Lelouch in this show is doomed.
So yeah, I think she was pretty useful and awesome. In the end her devellopment with Lelouch wasn't for shit and the guy learnt from her. This plus the fact she saved his pretty face more than once, so yeah, Even at the surface, the girl wasn't there to bake cookies.
You Disagree ? Cool, but I don't care. You can't understand the whole world.
And yes Paladinoras, C.C. is way less bashed than Kallen. While the girl is even more useless than Kallen in the majority of the serie (Don't misunderstood me, I love her (when her fans aren't around turning her into Mary Chi Chi Sue) but let's call a cat, a cat.
And Kallen is awesome, that's it.

lol. As for me though, I certainly bash C.C. more than Kallen. They were on the wrong side from the beginning, though, so I don't think character development or anything could have done anything for my disapproval of these characters. One followed and fought for a man following a destructive path based on mistaken perceptions of reality, while the other encouraged said misconceptions and pushed him down that path in the first place. Both are regrettable things (to me), but C.C.'s sin is obviously much greater.

:P I meant 'the wrong side for me to like/approve of', more specifically by their relation to Lelouch, I suppose. Though there are basically only two characters who qualify (Shirley and Suzaku). Between Lelouch and Suzaku, Suzaku is on the 'right' side because he does not harbour the mistaken belief that (executive) Britannia (Charles and the royal family) is his personal enemy. Between Shirley, Kallen, and C.C., Shirley is on the 'right' side because she discourages Lelouch's mistaken pursuit of revenge, Kallen is approximately neutral because she merely follows it, while C.C. is a lying whore for encouraging it.
My personal opinions don't really belong in the Kallen thread, though. I guess the Lelouch thread would be more appropriate for further discussion. Was just mentioning that Kallen does get less flak than C.C. from me personally.

Eh this Kallen and C.C. hate really pisses me off. I don't think anyone should take this so seriously, I mean really calling an anime character a lying whore? It's a bit much. By the way it seems like you, Sol Falling, probably don't like Lelouch either since you're bashing C.C. and Kallen whose opinions tend to be closer to his. Whatever.
I like strong women, I like female pilots, I like people who fight for their beliefs and are passionate. Really Kallen has a lot more going for her in personality and character development than most of them. It's not just because of her looks. I hate female character bashing!

No, I suppose it doesn't, did I do something to piss you off too? I don't really like any character bashing, but there tends to be a lot more female character bashing for sure. Didn't seem like very civil bashing to me.

I also have to say a wrong and a right side? The heroes of the anime are supposed to be Lelouch and his gang but I suppose this is matter of opinion. Britannia treated Japan horribly and if you think it's wrong to be vengeful for that and want to change it even if there are lives lost than well I'd hate to know what you think of some of the things in real life.

And yeah, this argument isn't really new. If you're familiar with it, then perhaps we can move on.
And the vengeance I was talking about was Lelouch's personal one. Although I do think revenge is a bit of a dead end in general.

the two things are not connected
kallen's motivation and lelouch's motivation are NOT the same at all
they are simply allies in the same struggle because their enemy is the same
lelouch does not care all that much about japan, while kallen does not care about his vendetta (and is unaware of it during season 1)
saying "kallen's on the wrong side" because lelouch's motivation is flawed (to an extent) is completely missing the point
the japanese liberation movement (kallen's motivation) is by default the RIGHT SIDE because britannia is by default the WRONG side as an occupying oppressive racist regime that rivals NAZI Germany in sheer horrible meanness
and hence, anyone who fights for them is by default on the wrong side
suzaku's goal, while admirable sounding, is consistently shown to be misguided idealism at best
and later revealed to be outright self deluded (his REAL aim is to get himself killed, and he's just fooling himself in claiming otherwise)
lelouch high jacks the japanese liberation movement under the pretext of fighting for japan
and kallen follows him in season one because she (like everyone else) BELIEVES in that pretext
and in season 2 she follows him because she accepts that freeing japan might be a result of his actions (she tells him she follows "zero", and not him)
arguing that she's wrong because she follows a man who has ulterior motives of his own in addition to accomplishing her own goal is hardly convincing
especially in light of the fact that his own goals are not all that wrong either
you are wrong in thinking that lelouch's goal of destroying britannia and his goal of creating a better world for nunnaly are two different goals
the two are one and the same
its creating a better world for nunnaly BY destroying britannia
because if they are discovered they would be used as pawns again or outright murdered
its nunnaly who wishes for a gentler world
lelouch simply wants one where THAT wont happen

To clarify further: in terms of 'good' realized on all levels within the show Code Geass, to me Kallen is approximately neutral (more minus than plus honestly). Seeing as I'm not compelled by her personality, this leaves her on the 'wrong side' for me to like her. The 'sides' I'm talking about are not limited to political affiliations, as that is a grey area issue, but rather the positions/roles of the characters within the show as a whole.

and yet you consider sheirly to be on the positive side
despite her belonging to the side of the evil empire (its only grey if you're color blind, and even then its dark grey)
taking no part at all in trying to either change its ways or trying to drive it out of where it has no place being
and, in your words, trying to "discourage" the the man who does try to oppose it
not that i have something against shierly mind you, but i just dont follow your rational
and what about the suzaku issue do you disagree with exactly ?
his way is not only wrong from a moral stand point (as it would forever condemn the Japanese to being britannian servants)
but also false in its basic nature (since its only an excuse to try and get himself killed)

Shirley being uninvolved in the political/military struggle is no reason to condemn her. (For being a high school student, I think being the first one to try to welcome an 'eleven' into their heretofore Britannian-exclusive school is enough to qualify as support for 'change'). As for what Shirley discouraged specifically, it was more Lelouch's destructive and self-damaging tendencies than his desire to change the world.
As for my disagreements on Suzaku: I don't think he was wrong from a moral standpoint, because government is something society constructed. National identity is not something I consider fundamental to human life. Regardless of the legitimacy of the Britannian occupation, the ultimate goal of change should simply be whether the people there can be happy. As the system did allow participation by conquered peoples, trying to encourage it and improve conditions instead of destroying it wasn't morally wrong.
As for Suzaku's stance being an 'excuse' to enact his death wish, this isn't true. Suzaku's death wish is in addition to his desire to help the Japanese people. And once he met Euphie, he began to abandon the self-punishment entirely. You can level the same illegitimacy of motivation at Kallen, who was fighting Britannia at the start of the series only to lash out for the death of her brother (she had no 'hope' for achieving anything). Only in meeting Zero did her destructive impulse begin to turn into a positive one (hope for actually liberating Japan). In fact, by the time Suzaku lost Euphie, he had lost any desire for self-punishment, instead focusing almost entirely (aside from helping the people his way) on getting revenge on Zero. Suzaku's deathwish doesn't even factor again until after he blows up Tokyo.

A moderate economic recovery and a United States federal government shutdown do not appear to be enough to prevent holiday season-related import activity from posting an annual gain, according to the most recent edition of the Port Tracker report from the National Retail Federation (NRF) and maritime consultancy Hackett Associates.
The report is calling for volumes in October (which is typically the busiest month of the year) at United States-based retail container ports to increase 9.1 percent annually in October, which the report reflects goods ordered months in advance of the government shutdown, with retailers gearing up for holiday shopping activity.
The ports surveyed in the report include: Los Angeles/Long Beach, Oakland, Tacoma, Seattle, Houston, New York/New Jersey, Hampton Roads, Charleston, and Savannah, Miami, and Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based Port Everglades. Authors of the report explained that Cargo import numbers do not correlate directly with retail sales or employment because they count only the number of cargo containers brought into the country, not the value of the merchandise inside them, adding that the amount of merchandise imported provides a rough barometer of retailers' expectations.
"With the holidays nearly here, retailers are making sure their shelves are well-stocked," NRF Vice President for Supply Chain and Customs Policy Jonathan Gold said in a statement. "Cargo is continuing to move through the ports but the government shutdown has left some agencies short-handed, so NRF will monitor the situation closely as the holidays approach."
Even with Customs and Border Protection placing 6,000 staffers on furlough due to the shutdown, CBP maintains that the subsequent import on trade activity will be minimal with ports remaining open and inspectors on the job and processing cargo. Conversely, though, the report said there is concern by retailers over how some government agencies that clear cargo at ports are not staffed to levels CBP is.
The Port Tracker report said 1.48 million TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) were handled in August (the most recent month for which full data is available) for the ports followed by Port Tracker, which represents a 2.5 percent increase compared to July and a 3.8 percent gain compared to August 2012.
The report said the 2013 forecast is at 16.3 million for a 2.7 percent gain over 2012's 15.8 million TEU, with the first six months of the year at 7.8 million TEU for a 1.2 percent increase.
The Port Tracker report estimates September volumes to be at 1.47 million TEU for a 4.9 percent annual decrease, and it is calling for October to be up 9.1 percent at 1.46 million TEU. November and December are expected to be at 1.33 million TEU and 1.31 million TEU for 3.4 percent and 1.8 percent increases, respectively.
Hackett Associates Founder Ben Hackett told LM in an interview that to date the government shutdown has negatively impacted the stock market more so than trade so far and has not been a drag on its 2013 forecast of 2.7 percent annual growth, which is in line with what it has been forecasting for more than three months.
"Our forecast has basically ignored what is happening in Washington," he said. But if the government dysfunction in Congress and the White House continues for more than a couple of weeks, that is another issue, though."
Hackett commented that ocean container traffic growth remains slow, due to reduced demand for shipping capacity that that has led to ocean carriers reducing the number of vessels on the water and relying on other tactics like using larger ships and leveraging alliances to better manage capacity as the supply and demand balance dictates pricing.

House Republicans have taken another step toward repealing new Federal Communications Commission rules that prohibit phone and cable companies from interfering with Internet traffic on their broadband networks.
The House Commerce Committee voted 30-23 along party lines Tuesday to overturn the FCC's new "net neutrality" regulations, which aim to prevent broadband providers from becoming online gatekeepers. The rules prohibit broadband providers from favoring or discriminating against Internet content and services, including online calling and Web video services that could compete with their core phone and cable operations.
The FCC's three Democrats voted to adopt the regulations late last year over the objection of the agency's two Republicans.
The rules are also being challenged in federal court by Verizon Communications Inc. and Metro PCS Communications Inc.
The FCC had no comment.

We Don't Want Everything For Free. We Just Want Everything
from the kids-today dept
- Donate buttons – with the qualification that they want to know as much as possible about where the donation is going. They said honesty and transparency are important.
- Kickstarter – They all knew about it (which was notable because none of them had heard of Flattr) and valued pitch videos that explained how the money would be used.
- Custom drawings
- Merch
- Physical copies
- Live Shared Experiences, including ballet, museum exhibits, and concerts. The event aspect was important; they wanted to be able to say, "Remember that one time when that awesome show was here…" They agreed seeing things in person is a more powerful experience than seeing things online, and worth spending more on. One said she would buy CD at a live show because "it reminds you of the show."
- One said he would support artists by promoting their work to his friends.
Semi-related, I took an informal poll of how many would prefer to read a book on paper vs. an e-reader. The vast majority said paper, but what they really seemed to want was dual formats: paper copies to read comfortably and collect, and digital copies to search and reference. Makes sense to me. Only two of them had iPads, and none used them for "enhanced eBooks."

That's the good part about FT, every character can get their own story...there's just too much potential to have it ending anytime soon, if you make an arc for each "main" character, there's at least 5 to connect with the plot.

Another enemy coming out in random ? Looking at how Midnight had 'that' kind of comeback, it's not strange for his father to also had the same comeback as his son lol.
I wonder what happened with Natsu. I wonder if he's all beaten up and bloody after all of that. Though I must say.. I think Cait Sith will do something for 1 - 2 chapter before Natsu become more GAR to beat Zero.

Well, after playing catch-up though not getting to the last two chaters, I have but two comments:
One, Midnight... well, I first posted how I wanted him to die, but it seems Erza has taken care of him, thankfully... that guy was getting on my nerves. However, if I'm remembering the spoilers correctly, we now have another pain in the ass to deal with?
... number two: something I find a bit interesting... unless it was something done by the translators, we actually have an age on Wendy: 12. However, natsu and Gazille's ages remain a mystery... perhaps Wendy is more human than Natsu?

In contrast, Wendy may not have been orphaned when she started training with her dragon master, or was atleast old enough to remember her own birthday (or have something to help her remember)... So she is able to say how old she is

Cristiano Ronaldo's Olympic-esque sprint in the Real Madrid v Atletico Madrid derby has prompted a challenge to race from a champion Spanish sprinter.
Ronaldo was compared to Olympic sprint legend Usain Bolt after thundering 96 metres down the field for a counter-attack in just ten seconds, leading to many people claiming he would be of international athletics standards.
This has not gone down too well with one of Spain's most prominent sprinters, Angel David Rodriguez, who used his Twitter account to challenge Ronaldo to a race over 100m "with or without spikes, tarmac or grass".
Rodriguez currently holds the Spanish record over 100 metres and had previously been in a promotional video to test Cristiano Ronaldo's speed against him over 25 metres, but it appears the talk of the Portugal captain being an Olympic sprinter has caused him to lay down the challenge.
It is unknown whether Ronaldo has even seen Rodriguez's taunt, never mind ever agreeing to it.
So, in the absence of an actual race, some clever-clogs has put together a video comparing the two at full pelt.
It may not be terribly scientific, or accurate, but it gives viewers a little taste of how fast Ronaldo is actually going and what it might be like to have them go head-to-head.
Watch the clip below and leave a comment to let us know what you think of it…

I am sure that we have all wished we could go back and do things differently. As for me, I am not sure how far back I would have to go before I could make things turn out the way I would like. Maybe my Freshman year of college would be enough. I would have remained in the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas (at Austin), which is where I started. I would have ignored the fervent advice of my father (a prominent Radiologist in Austin) who instructed me that I would hate being a salesman "groveling around, buying coffee and laughing at terrible jokes simply to make a sale" ….and I would have gone straight into sales as soon as I graduated with my BBA. I love "sales" and those terrible jokes are a lot funnier when they are attached to a commission.
However, more recently, I have seen "going back and doing it differently" with a more sinister view. Maybe it is because I have officially left "middle age" and moved into "old age" but I see "having a do over" with a mixed vantage point….like "It's A Wonderful Life" written by Rod Serling of "Twilight Zone" fame. If you went back and did it over, what makes you think things would work out better? They may work out worse!
Would you wake up every day at exactly the same time? Would your words be exactly the same words as you spoke originally? Would you leave the house at exactly the same time? Would you walk down the street or drive at exactly the same speed as before? No, impossible! The "redo" would be different in ways you could never control.
Every one of us has had "close calls" where we almost received life changing injuries or perhaps death. In the "do over world" we may have very well died at 12 years old, or 18 or 30…. If you believe in a God who is in control of all things, who would protect you a second time, do you not believe that He has protected you the first time as well? Do you not believe that you stand today at a cross roads?
We will never receive a "do over" and that is a wonderful thing. Who would want to relive the miserable years of middle school, even if you could be 20% richer today from what you learned? You lived your life. Now it is time to get on with it, based on what you learned. Do the things you should have done and broadcast your new accomplishments via social media. Those who are looking for people with your experience on LinkedIn will be interested in what you are doing now to sharpen your skills. If there is dirt on you from the past, cover it up with new entries on Facebook and Twitter. Prospective employers are going to look for information on you on the Internet. Make the good information easy to find based on your posts to social media. They will never make it to page 18 of Google search results if they find information (that you controlled) on pages 1 – 17.
Good Luck and Godspeed!

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The Babson College women's lacrosse team scored 13 second-half goals en route to a 21-10 win over visiting MIT in a NEWMAC contest on Tuesday night. The nationally-ranked No. 17 Beavers improved to 8-2 overall and 3-0 in the conference while the Engineers dropped to 2-6 on the year and 0-3 in the NEWMAC.
Babson recorded five consecutive goals in the first 10 minutes of the game. Laura Watson put MIT on the board, but the Beavers countered with two more goals. The Engineers narrowed the gap to three (7-4) during span of 1:18, ending at the 4:42 mark. Samantha O'Keefe started the run with a free position shot, which was followed by a strike from Lynne Tye that was set up by Julia Roberts. O'Keefe capped the spurt with an unassisted goal. Babson found the back of the net one more time before the break, extending its advantage to 8-4.
The Engineers cut their deficit in half after 1:15 expired in the second stanza. Tye registered an unassisted goal and Casey Flynn converted her first free position goal of the night. The Beavers raised their margin to three (9-6), but Flynn responded with an unassisted strike with 23:32 left to play. Babson countered by tallying eight unanswered goals during the next 14 minutes.
MIT ended the scoring spree with a pair of goals while playing down a player. Flynn notched another free position goal and on the ensuing draw, Watson posted her second goal of the game which made the score 17-9. The Beavers tacked on three more goals before O'Keefe recorded a free position goal with 1:42 remaining. Exactly 30 seconds later Babson notched the final goal of the game.
Tye and Anna Ayuso each collected four groundballs as O'Keefe led the way with six draw controls. In net, Hee Jay Kang totaled 12 saves.

Grayton Beer Company, established in 2011, is set to begin brewing its own brews in South Walton.
Following almost 11 months of construction, five trucks delivered nine stainless-steel fermentation tanks to the brewery site Monday morning. The vats were moved by a crane and lifted into place by Tuesday. And by November, the county's first locally-brewed beer will be flowing from the state-of-the art brewing equipment.
The largest of the nine vats holds 22,000 pints of brew, resulting in 8,000 barrels of beer per year, and enough capacity to brew the equivalent of 150,000 bottles of beer at a time. In addition to the 18-foot fermentation tanks, additional vessels will arrive to store and manage the hot and cold water needed to produce the beer.
The brewery will feature a tasting room and tours will be given.
"We have been looking forward to this day for some time now," said Jamey Price, the company's founder. "We are starting to see our dream of an independent craft brewery emerging in South Walton."
The company's two beers that were introduced in 2011 have been previously produced in central Florida.
"We always had the intention of working here and wanted to base Grayton Beer here. It just took 12 months longer than anticipated," said Price. "It's exciting. My wife and I wanted to do something local that helped dig our roots into the community."
Price moved to Rosemary Beach in 2006 from Nashville.
For two years the company has brewed the two original styles: Grayton Pale Ale, and Grayton I.P.A. But with the launch of the brewery will come three new styles, including a Belgian white, an amber, and introducing the premier of 30A Beach Blonde Pale Ale. All five styles will be available by the end of the year, brewed at the new South Walton brewery, and available in stores, restaurants and pubs from 'Cola to 'Cola.
Price said the name "30A Beach Blonde" resulted from wanting to do something with a local flair.
"30A is iconic and I wanted to utilize it with the beer," he said. "Giving it the name we did helped us and defined the area."
With 3 percent of beer consumption in the South being craft beer, and the No. 1 market for growth being in Florida, there is a lot of room for growth in the market, said Martin Liptrot, head of marketing and sales.
The goal is to open a locally-owned-and-operated brewery making classic and contemporary beers for the Florida Gulf Coast and beyond. The specialty craft beers will be brewed specifically to complement the lifestyle of the Emerald Coast, and available in bottle and draft.
To accomplish that feat, various recipes are being put together and tried by the head brewer who only wants to be known as Shank.
"Working with a great team of brewers and the finest available ingredients, this high quality brewing equipment will allow us to make beers that drinkers along the coast will truly appreciate," said Shank. "Craft beer is growing across America, and now, in the heart of our community. Northwest Floridians have a brewery to be proud of."
"Who doesn't want to work for a brewery, making beer at the beach?" added Liptrot. "People wanted it brewed here.�
The brewery currently employs eight people, but Price expects that number to double by next year.
"To offer 12-month-a-year jobs is unique in a community that's built on tourism and real estate," he said. "We hope to continue to grow in the area and expand throughout the Southeast."
The brewery is located at 217 Serenoa Road in South Walton Business Park off U.S. Highway 98W.
For more information visit www.30abeachblondeale.com or www.30abeer.com.
A second brewery is also coming to the South Walton Business Park in Santa Rosa Beach.
Construction is under way at Idyll Hounds Brewing Company, which plans to open its brewery, complete with a tasting room, by late November.
Idyll Hounds will at first introduce two beers. One of which will be a Double IPA and the other an "American-friendly wheat beer." The beers will be the Divide & Conch'r and the Man o' Wheat, respectively.
The team at Idyll Hounds is comprised of co-owner and brewers Frasier Hansen and Shawn Sherman, a Culinary Institute of America graduate, and brewer Chas Swanson.
"In the craft beer world you have the opportunity to try something new, and you should," Swanson said.
Idyll Hounds Brewing Company is located at 845 Serenoa Road in Santa Rosa Beach. Find them on the web at www.idyllhoundsbrewingcompany.com or on Facebook.

HILLSDALE � It was that quizzical look�from a deer while walking in the woods one snowy afternoon near Marquette�that inspired Carrie Clevidence Pearson�s latest book, �A Warm Winter Tail.� Pearson shared that story with a group of family, friends and supporters Saturday morning during a visit to the Hillsdale Public Library. Pearson, a graduate of Hillsdale High School, currently lives in Marquette with her husband Wally and their three daughters. Pearson�said she was inspired by the deer, which became the center piece for her book. The book teaches children how animals adapt to the cold through short vignettes from each of the 11 animals in the book. The book, which Pearson began writing in 2008, was submitted to 12 different publishing houses before Sylvan Dell Publishing picked it up. For Pearson the book, which hit store shelves this fall, was her first published work. She said she was truly excited the day she got the letter in the mail telling her the books would be published. The book wasn�t Pearson�s first attempt at getting published, though. She had been seriously pursuing the career since March 2005. �I always loved writing stories, even as a kid,� she said. After reading hundreds of books to her daughters, she said, "Something just clicked one day and I thought I could do this.� Pearson�s journey writing children�s books started in 2005 when the family went on a month-long trip to Arizona. With the family's camper in tow they headed west. She said during that trip she would write at night while the girls were asleep about their adventures each day. Despite receiving 65 rejection letters from publishing houses, Pearson kept pursuing her dream. �My peers have told me that�s not a large number. It is a very competitive field,� she said. During her presentation Pearson took time to read her book to the children and adults that were in the audience. After the program she took questions and signed copies of her book.
The illustrations for the book were done by Christina Wald of Ohio. Pearson has already signed a contract to write a second book for the publishing company. Her next book will look at how creatures deal with staying cool during the summer. Her working title�is �A Cool Summer Spit Bath.�
It is expected to hit bookstore shelves in 2014.
She is also currently working on a novel and other works. �I hope whatever I write will be a book children will enjoy,� she said. �They are meant to be read to children while sitting in a rocking chair.� Children in attendance at the presentation also had the opportunity to make Christmas ornaments and decorate cookies after the event.

The header should have a "wave" integrated into the navigation, similar to the one found at: http://www.solarussauna.com/ (the shape- not the actual design) The header above the navigation should be split into red/orange on the Left side then traditions into Blue/white etc on the right. This is to highlight our two main products.
The logo is text only and uses 2 Photoshop fonts and a standard effect.
We are looking for a "stunning" design that will grab attention and most importantly convey the quality of our products.
Looking for creative ideas to highlight these products.
The site navigation can be seen at our current site at: http://www.ultimateproductsforlife.com/
- The background color (or graphic) should be darker and have a "rich" feeling to it. White is a little too plain.
- All three of the products should be highlighted not just the Saunas and Water.
- The Header Graphic should give the feeling of heat (for the Saunas) and cool refreshing water for the other side. Perhaps a picture of some sort for each side morphed into each other would work better.
- The "wave" graphic should have the navigation integrated into the wave and not as a standard Horizontal menu.

Independence (California)
Independence is in the Eastern Sierra region of California
Get in
Independence is one of several small towns along US highway 395 through the Owens Valley in California. Pretty much the only reasonable way in by car is either from the north or south on US 395.

Manzanar was the site of an Internment Camp for people of Japanese ancestry during World War II.
In time of war, it is normal and accepted practice to imprison or confine citizens of an enemy country who reside in the opposing country. The Japanese Internment of World War II went far beyond these reasonable bounds. During World War II, all people of Japanese descent living on the west coast of the continental United States including American citizens were stripped of property and most belongings and sent into imprisonment at remote locations in the West.
To properly understand why this improper internment happened, one first needs to understand some background: California had a significant history of racism against Asian peoples including preventing Asians from participating in the gold rush, blaming Asians for economic bad times and getting Japan to voluntarily reduce emigration to California, and forbidding Asians from owning land.
The Manzanar Relocation Camp is the best preserved example from this deplorable episode in American History, and is slowly being turned into a National Historic Site.
In some Asian cultures, there is a severe injunction against being a troublemaker or being out of step with good behavior. For such Asians, to be interned or jailed is a mortifying embarrassment. If you should happen to meet someone who may have been interned, keep in mind that this embarrassment may (or may not!) apply.
West of town on Onion Valley Road is access to the Sierra Nevada and the Pacific Crest Trail via Kearsarge Pass. Take Onion Valley Road to the trailhead; the pass is some hours' climb farther up. Above 11,000 ft, the air becomes thin. Fall colors along Onion Valley are very nice, for California. From the Pass, the views are empyrean- to the west, the Sierra, and to the east, the White Mountains, Last Chance Range, and others into the Great Basin.

From the 3-year-old who salutes Nelson Mandela in Soweto to the schoolchildren who grip portraits of the icon during a ceremony in India, it is evident that people across the globe feel the loss of Mandela's passing.
As President Barack Obama noted, "We will not likely see the likes of Nelson Mandela again." But, perhaps, if young people and adults can draw lessons from Mandela's legacy – one based on human rights foundations -- we can witness the rise of a new generation that follows in his footsteps.
As we remember Mandela's inspirational life, let's remember that the anti-apartheid leader was once an ambitious young man who trusted his convictions without knowing that his actions would inspire others worldwide.
Here are five lessons we can draw from "Madiba":
He believed in youth-led social structures: While living in Johannesburg, he immersed himself in anti-apartheid politics by joining the African National Congress (ANC). Dissatisfied with the ANC's inability to mobilize youth, Mandela helped form the ANC Youth League in 1944.
He was determined: He failed to obtain a law degree from the University of Witwatersrand. But he never gave up. Mandela studied while imprisoned and graduated from the University of South Africa in 1988. With his knowledge, he offered low-cost services for individuals seeking justice.
He employed non-violence as a means of change: Like Mahatma Ghandi and Martin Luther King Jr., he practiced a "surrender-without-a-fight strategy" to promote peace and unity in his racially divided country. Mandela received the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize for his promotion of peaceful rehabilitation in South Africa.
He was an anti-poverty campaigner: Mandela taught us that "overcoming poverty is not a task of charity; it is an act of justice." To honor his vision, let's prioritize investment in quality education for all.
He was results-oriented: According to an anecdote in the PBS documentary, "The Long Walk of Nelson Mandela," after defeating the "enemy morally, internationally, politically," he recognized his actions were not translating into results. So, he adjusted by employing a plethora of tactics -- scolding, flattering, demanding, and cajoling, as needed. These tactics might inspire young leaders to learn about how and when to demand accountability and results from key stakeholders.
To the youth of today, Mandela once said, "I also have a wish to make: Be the script writers of your destiny and feature yourselves as stars that showed the way towards a brighter future." He believed in the ability of young people to be catalysts for inclusive growth and development. Together, let's continue to achieve what Madiba envisioned.
What do you admire most about Mandela, and how has he influenced you?

Improve tool usage menu selections to avoid confusion between Overall and Monthly Stats
When I look at the statistics of Quantum Dot Lab (or any other tool), I get the numbers of the accumulated usage over the years, even though there is a fat drop-down list saying "Sept 2010". When I select another month and click on "Go", the accumulated usage is again displayed, not the usage in that month. That is misleading – most people, including me, will think that there actually were 2500 users per month, with the number of users *per month* gradually increasing. This is not the case. The need to select the "By Month" tab first may not be apparent to all users.

Aug. 11, 2013Sister Act: The Mayfair Tavern Lives On
Two sisters have got it all together in a tiny "West Coast" village with their re-imaged restaurant.
The Mayfair Tavern, dubbed "Elberta's Country Club," has been a fixture in the tiny Benzie County hamlet of Elberta since the 1930s. It was owned and operated by several generations of the Luxford family until it was sold in 1998 to Wally Palmer. He did a major renovation of the bar and kitchen and kept the popular gathering spot alive until it was sold in 2007.
It ultimately closed in January, 2012, which was about the same time sisters Katie Condon and Jen Whiting were looking for a business. With financial, business and education backgrounds, they knew they wanted something in Benzie County where they both lived. Once they began to consider the idea of re-opening the Benzie landmark, things just clicked.
The sisters started with a vision and tried to think in line of what the market and community wanted and they soon found they filled a niche.
"It all happened very fast," Whiting explained. "Last summer, we replaced the roof and upgraded some kitchen equipment and painted the outside ourselves! We opened last fall and had a tremendously successful winter. We are proud to be a piece of the local history, we feel blessed to carry it on." They named their LLC partnership Living the Dream.
With a comfortable, family-friendly atmosphere, a staff that clearly enjoy their jobs, and an affordable menu, the sisters are in the midst of their first full busy summer.
"We want our staff and customers to be comfortable," Condon said. "We are very proud of everyone who works here; they are a great group and we want this to be a fun place to work. We have some employees that worked for the Luxfords, and we've hired one of their granddaughters."
The new owners are hands-on -- one of them is almost always there, and they wouldn't want it any other way.
The all-American tavern-style fare includes locally supplied meats, including hand-pressed burgers; homemade meatballs in marinara sauce; the popular wet burrito with the Mayfair's secret sauce handed down from the original owners; and a 12 oz. NY strip or classic liver & onions.
Their Friday Fish Fry includes all-you-can-eat smelt for $12.95; homemade soup, a variety of chicken wings, salads and sandwiches, lunches run $4-10, dinners $7-$17.
The Mayfair also offers 10 regional beers on tap, including Right Brain, New Holland, Dark Horse, Founder's, Bells and Petoskey Brewing, as well as local wines from Chateau Chantal, Good Harbor and Mackinaw Trail wineries.
The business keeps 17 people employed year round, and they add another 15 or so during the peak summer season. That might not sound like a lot, but it makes an impact in a village with a year round population of just 370.
Located just north of the blinking light in Elberta, the Mayfair Tavern is open 7 days, 11:30 a.m. – 10:30 p.m., all summer. For more info: 231-352-9136 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

GENEVA, Switzerland, March 20 (UPI) -- Leaders in Ivory Coast need to do more to encourage political reconciliation more than two years after civil conflict, a U.N. expert said from Switzerland.
Ivory Coast was pushed to the brink of civil war following disputed presidential elections in late 2010. Former Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo appeared before the International Criminal Court in February for his confirmation of charges hearing. He's accused of crimes against humanity in post-election violence.
Amnesty International said it was concerned that national forces under President Alassane Outtara were targeting Gbagbo's supporters.
Doudou Diene, a Senegalese lawyer working as an independent rights export for the United Nations in Geneva, said he was concerned about reconciliation and social development in a country with a history of violence. Elections in 2010 were meant to unite an Ivory Coast divided by earlier wars.
"A multicultural, democratic, egalitarian society that respects human rights is the best defense against this new peril that is fueled by violence, intolerance and discrimination," he said in a statement.
He expressed further concern that justice in Ivory Coast was tilted in Ouattara's favor.
"In order to face its internal and external challenges, Ivory Coast needs the international community's vigilant support to reinforce a democratic and pluralist dynamics," he said.

Contract includes foreign military sales
Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control has won an $8.8 million contract with the Air Force to provide the Royal Saudi Air Force with sniper advanced targeting pods.
The targeting pods fulfill precision strike mission requirements, provide long-range target detection and identification and continuous surveillance for missions, including close air support of ground forces, Lockheed Martin said on their website.
Under the contract, Lockheed will provide compact multiband data link software and firmware configuration support on the Saudi Air Force's F-15SA aircraft.
The company will also provide resources required for the management, fabrication, repair, support, testing and shipping of its non-developmental item sniper advanced targeting pod system, the Defense Department said in a release.
Work will be performed in Orlando, Fla., and is expected to be completed by November 2016.
This is the second contract of its kind in six months; Lockheed Martin in June won a $21.4 million contract to provide targeting pods to Saudi Arabia.

Hi all
At first I have to say I used to use Ubuntu (and Fedora at first) and now I am using openSUSE and because of some problems I've decided to use Arch.
I know about Gnu/Linux but I am not familiar with Terminal (never want to learn it!).
Ubuntu installed on sda8 as /root and sda9 as swap. How do I format it and install Arch (what is mount points_I've never heard about that)? I don't want to have any other /home or /var partition.
If I'd had a /home partition on sda10, how would it have been mounted to /root partition (please pay attention there are some data exists on it)?
I've read "Beginners' Guide/Installation". But it is not easy when I decided to install Arch (I'm afraid about my data).
If my words is not clear to understand, tell me to explain my problem.
Thank you all
If I want to tell the truth, I know something about mount points. But it seems the Arch developers decided to remove installer which include some tools.
IMHO, if you don't want to learn how to use a terminal then Arch is not for you at all. The package manager, pacman, is a terminal tool so it will be hard to setup or maintain your system without using the terminal. And without the old installer, the installation is all terminal based so you have a problem. Arch is geared toward competent linux users so maybe you should stick with something else until you're not afraid of the terminal.

Can you post the output of fdisk -l /dev/sda ??
It does not matter from which distribution you do that.
As an aside, I assume that English is not your first language. You said
I know about Gnu/Linux but I am not familiar with Terminal (never want to learn it!).
I am not certain if you meant you have never learned it, and plan to learn it in the future; or if you meant that you have no intention to learn it.
If you meant the formerlatter (you do not intend to learn it), allow me to respectfully suggest that Arch might not be the distribution for you. We tend to use the console a great deal.

Finally I beat someone else to the punch.

I'm very curious to know what kind of problems made you consider Arch, and also if you bothered to read anything about Arch before you tried to install it.
May I suggest that before you do *anything* whatsoever, you back up your data? Even if you were confident you knew exactly what you were doing, you should back up your data before embarking on a new install. Since you are not confident, this is obviously particularly important. You do not want to wipe your data while experimenting and no help anybody gives you here can protect you from the possibility of a mistake. If the data matters, back it up. This is good advice anyway - hard drives fail, software causes errors, stuff happens.

OK, I see major problem here:
You say don't want to learn terminal ever or you don't know it right now and you want to learn? If you don't know what partition mount points are, you don't know you way around CLI, you're newbie without a clue etc. that's totally fine but if you don't want to learn all of this (and much more) you're pretty much done here. Arch won't work for you. You don't need to be geek to use Arch but you need to want to learn. It also helps if you are a special kind of person, person who like to tweak things, who like to take care of his/her OS. Maintenance of Arch is not ending with it's installation it's just the beginning - a lot of people doesn't understand that.
Friendly advice: go and try Arch in VirtualBox before you do a real installation.

Honstly, to the OP, you should take note of this. I'm an experienced Linux user, and still managed to trash my system leading to two days recovery (with a backup) most of which was done in a terminal, and a lot in a busybox shell. As it happens, I've managed an almost complete recovery, but I'd hate to have to try and talk an inexperienced user through it.
If you don't want to use the terminal, you should really consider a different distro.

@Known. What do you use your computer for? Are you a scientist/engineer that needs to run/develop code for research? Are you putting together a gaming machine? Are you just looking for something to run productivity software (e.g. word processing, spreadsheets, presentation tools, etc)?
In terms of intuitive setup and maintenance, it doesn't get much better than Ubuntu in the Linux world. Arch is "user friendly" in the sense that it is very well organised, well documented, has a great community supporting it, and generally behaves the way it should. However, Arch is not "intuitive": one must develop a specialized knowledge and skill set to administer an Arch system competently and efficiently. Although, once you've pushed yourself past the initial learning curve, I would say that maintaining an Arch system requires no more effort than Ubuntu.

- There's a remedy for everything but death. -- The wise fool, Sancho Panza
- The purpose of a system is what it does. -- Anthony Stafford Beer
Also note that after Arch is installed you are dropped to a command line interface, or no GUI, so if you don't want to use terminal it's pretty much pointless trying Arch.
That said you could try ArchBang with comes with a live CD and installs a preconfigured environment, but the package manager is still terminal only.

She: Yeah! I'm going to figure it out! Tell me how you install a software from source!
Me: Hmm mm...!
She: what about downloading by Axel....
Me: [again] Hmm mm...
She: Just copy a Goddamn file PLEASE!
Me: [in this scene I just had a sad face!] ...
Yes {@tomk}, you see what my reason is. But in real the language was Persian and I translate it for you! Cause I'm Persian and want to learn English and Spanish {@ewaller} (But I know I can't talk Spanish in this ten years)! And if you want to know what happened in next scene just tell me!
I know terminal is NOT comfortable for me! But it is not a good reason to use YaST at all! No matter what (I don't know what I have to say in this time)! We say "توفیق اجباری نسیبم شد" Means I had to do it because it was a "must to do"!
I'm not a geek and I don't use my computer for some advanced works or something{@bsilbaugh}! When I migrated from Windows XP to Ubuntu I found every thing different and I do love it! A friendly interface was something that I didn't experience before!
openSUSE is a good option but I don't comfortable with it.
I have Windows Seven on my machine installed on C:\ and three other NTFS partitions but I don't use it anymore.
It is about 78GiB free space I installed Ubuntu on it before and I want to install Arch instead of Ubuntu. (Forgive me @ewaller. I'm not home and can't access my Desktop Computer!)
Every thing must be started on a point and I found my point{@bgc1954}.
As @masteryod said Arch is a start to experience real free world!
@MisterAnderson I tried to use Chakra but it was... .
I think she didn't want to mock me. She just want to let me start from somewhere!
Guys please help me install Arch on my machine!
I hope I could answer all of your questions.
Oh, Do you know anything about Grub2. I just learned how to set up Legacy 0.97!
So this is about a girl? ... wut? Dude, partitioning is easy. What is there to discuss about? I second the suggestion to use a VM (virtual machine; VirtualBox, VMware, etc), to get the hang of it. See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … al_machine
If you're a complete newbie and a total chicken, read: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … rage_drive
Regarding everything else about using the terminal and other stuff, please read the FAQ. Especially: Q) I am a complete GNU/Linux beginner. Should I use Arch?

Now why (and where) the heck did you learn that? Don't use some shitty Youtube tutorial. The Beginners' Guide has you covered.

I have made a personal commitment not to reply in topics that start with a lowercase letter. Proper grammar and punctuation is a sign of respect, and if you do not show any, you will NOT receive any help (at least not from me).
