~Cuteness is NOT a Crime~
Though I don't think you can totally blame Akira or Saki if her friends get killed thanks to this Selecao game...

When I think about it, I finally believe that the "I'll kill you Akira Takizawa" spray painted on the walls of the mall's inner section was not made by the NEETs but possibly by either I or X. From the way X acts he looks completely pussywhipped (for lack of a better term) by I, like he's just being ordered around by I. It no longer seems like X's use of the missle attack was solely by his hand or idea but rather influenced by I. Clearly they've been working together for a while and probably share similar ideals, but X is being given the bigger share of the responsibilities of having their plans carried out.
The most massive revelation in this episode and probably the series so far is the "Return to pre-WWII era Japan" tagged on the missle strikes. To me it's probably the core of the plans of I and probably X for improvement of Japan: Remilitarization of Japan prior to the second World War. It would suggest that the missle strikes were fully intended as a wake up call to Japan that needs to re-arm itself and break away from the anti-rearmament pacts it had agreed upon after WWII.
It is already more than clear that Akira's acts pre-wipe was to counter X, by essentially saving the NEETs and planning the evacuation of the areas hit by the missle prior to Careless Monday. The problem is, waving a gun bare-assed in front of the White House and Saki seems to run counter to his actions before that point. Based on what was revealed in the history, he's more a pacifist and peacemaker trying to stop the aggressive and sacrificing actions of X.
This makes me reconsider his action on that day: it seems more likely that being naked with a gun on Penn avenue was not a choice of his own but as if he was either forced into it, or was backed into a corner. Either way, wiping his mind seems to have become a way out of that situation where he would have done something drastic, as if banking on the essential nature of his character that even without memories, he can make his way back and find another way. Again, something must have happened that forced him into that situation, which as I've said before is probably the central problem and climax of the story.
Of course this doesn't explain whether he was aiming for Saki or the White House, but it further deepens the gravity of involvement.

They don't deserve blame. When you meet a mysterious man with no memory you shouldn't have to expect them to be part of a massive dangeruous consipracy.
Akira might be a little blameworthy since he still refuses to tell Saki what's happening even though he knows he's playing a game. It's not that he's a bad person. Again, he's just not thinking things through. And for all pantsu's intelligence it doesn't look as if he was either when he told Saki that.
People have an annoying habit of assuming they know what's best for other people.
And I'm sure the most hated guys in the show are now #1 and #10.

I'm utterly disgusted with all the hatred toward Oosugi.
Wishing him dead, just because he is investigating a potential boyfriend of his love-interest? Worse than SD Makoto? And at the same time no one gives a shit about such crimes like #11's habit...
It is ironic to see that a bigger part of the people who hates him, would probably behave similarly given the very same circumstances.
And please refer to my Teal Deer post in the previous episode thread, IMO he isn't all that different to Saki in that regard to be honest.
Well, truthfully I couldn't care less about that love-triangle part of the story, I find it out of place.
Anyway, I'm a tiny bit disappointed with the episode, because it was more or less predictable (except running over Jack-Black).

Well said. Oosugi is childish jerk, driven by jealousy. I never liked him, but his behavior in this episode truly disgusts me.
He has uncovered some disturbing information about their new acquaintance, and what does he do with it? He drags the Eden members out to the mall, and puts on a show for them.
Likewise, he messages Saki as a pretext to get some alone time with her. He should have just put the relevant details in the message itself, as that would have been the quickest way to get that information to her.

As for this episode, it was fantastic. I'm like on the edge of my seat waiting for what's next.
And, side note, Oosugi is a very typical though normal character, but as an outside party, it's also very easy to hate on him due to the fact that he's attempting to organize an entire group of 'friends' against Akira. You can understand where he's coming from, but that doesn't necessarily make it 'okay' by the viewer's standards. We only got to view him as a negative character.

by the way people, you are free to hate Oosugi, but don't try to reationalize it as if he is doing anything wrong.
He is being an obstacle to the canon couple and if I was still a shipper like I was at the beginning before I found out more about the dangerous game Akira is on, I think I would hate him too. He is just being a friend to the Eden gang, if after they receive all this info and they continue to work with Akira, they can end all just like pantsu. the only member I would be sad to see dead is the loli computer freak.

Your point? Everyone free to have their own opinion. I see him as jealousy driven guy, who would not be afraid to tell lies for others as long as it would suit him in his purpose (to drive Akira away from Saki). It just matches that the truth is leading the same way, but he is far from a concerned little bunny you try to picture him, I believe.
I find his main drive is the jealousy rather than concern and the search for the truth, and I do not find him a nice guy at all. It is up to each person how one presents Ossugi's motives to be.
We see the acts but we do not see what is the main purpose of these acts (just implications that can have various interpretations) - I believe this drive to be jealousy, you believe that it is a concern like a fluffy, little prince, who is too nice guy for his own good - but again it is up to everyone to believe the way they want.

The way he goes about "warning" the others makes his motivation clear; Saki sees right through it, and blows him off. Why does he want to meet her, saying he has something important to say, rather than just writing it?
Oosugi has nothing but unfounded suspicions at this point, and dragging them out to the mall is appealing to their emotion, not reason. At the end, he acts like he is about to deliver some rehearsed propaganda.
Akira is clearly something special, but Oosugi could care less about the quality of his character; he is just grasping for an excuse to get rid of an obstacle to his romantic ambitions. So far, all he has is hearsay and graffiti.

I made couple of cards :) Now-a-days, I know what I want, explore whats available and buy. Earlier I would buy from what is released from one or two particular companies. I like postage stamp frames and MFT recently released a stamp set and coordinating postage stamp frame dies.Of course, it has to come home. What a nice feeling to be able to find what I want :)
Here are my cards using the postage stamp frame.
I also recycled a cardboard paper that came with another package. The color looked darker and it is thicker than cardstock. I diecut the frame uing them and ran through the woodgrain impression plate. Then inked the edges. They looked beautiful and rustic. The leaves and flower images are from Wplus9. The frame diecut and sentiments are from MFT. Pattern paper is from Basic Grey and Kraft cardstock from Papertrey Ink. Hope you like them :)
Finally, I get to clean my craft room today. Kids have no school as its Queen's birthday public holiday. They have their friends over for play date. Hubby at work and so I have all the time today to clean my room :)
Will see if I can take some pictures and share :) See you soon!

Reds' bullpen struggles mount in fourth straight loss
ST. LOUIS -- While Reds manager Bryan Price is running low on fresh-armed relievers, his bullpen is not running out of creative ways to deliver heartbreaking defeats on this road trip.

ST. LOUIS -- While Reds manager Bryan Price is running low on fresh-armed relievers, his bullpen is not running out of creative ways to deliver heartbreaking defeats on this road trip.
The struggling J.J. Hoover hit Jon Jay with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth, and that's how the Cardinals walked off to hand the Reds a 5-4 defeat at Busch Stadium on Tuesday night.View Full Game Coverage
"I just didn't have any feel out there tonight. I just hate that I let the team down again," Hoover told MLB.com.
He is now 1-10 after he lost his 10th straight decision. The 10 losses tie a club record for a reliever. The 10th straight set a club mark.
Back for the ninth inning after escaping a two-out jam in the eighth, Hoover walked leadoff batter Matt Holliday, gave up a Matt Adams lined single and walked Jhonny Peralta to load the bases with no outs.
On the first pitch to Jay, Hoover plunked him on the right leg to end it. On Sunday in Game 1 of a doubleheader, he surrendered a walk-off homer to the Rockies.
Tuesday's walk-off loss was the Reds' third in four games. The other came Sunday when relievers gave up five runs in the eighth inning in a 10-5 loss in Game 2 of the doubleheader.
In four games, totaling 10 2/3 innings, Reds relievers have allowed 19 runs (18 earned) on 26 hits. Asked about reinforcements being called up, Price conceded there weren't many options other than what he already has.
"It's not like we have guys in the system that are lighting up the opportunity radar in Triple-A kicking butt or in Double-A with us feeling organizationally that they are mature enough, ready enough or polished enough to come in and help," Price said.
For the second straight game, Price did not have closer Aroldis Chapman available because of an achy left shoulder and Jonathan Broxton was being held back to close if the Reds took the lead.
"It's a different style of losing, unfortunately, in the sense we've been playing more consistent offensively," Price said. "We've taken advantage of some opportunities to score and we haven't been able to shut the door."
Against Cardinals starter John Lackey, the Reds took a 2-1 lead in the fourth when Todd Frazier hit a two-run homer to center field. It became a 4-1 lead in the sixth, when two Cardinals fielding errors led to Ryan Ludwick's a two-run double to left field with one out.
"We just have to keep scoring. It's the name of the game," Frazier said. "You know, in the Majors Leagues, no lead is safe. We just have to keep attacking and attacking."
Reds starter Alfredo Simon labored early on, needing 60 pitches to get through three innings and 92 pitches through five. While he did nice job of minimizing the damage in the one-run third, leaving the bases loaded, Simon's inability to complete at least six innings would have consequences later. He finished with 109 pitches after 5 1/3 innings.
"As you can see, it's tougher when we get those shorter starts," Price said. "That has bitten us on the tail on this trip. We've had three or four of these short starts, and it blows up the bullpen, and it asks guys to sometimes pitch out of role. We just haven't been able to get it done."
Simon, who is winless since July 9, is 0-5 with a 5.40 ERA over his last seven starts.
By the bottom of the sixth, Simon gave up a mammoth solo homer to left field by Peralta. Following Jay's single, Simon was done, but Sam LeCure entered and gave up two hits and an inherited run.
Manny Parra, working his third straight game, turned in a one-hit scoreless seventh inning. Jumbo Diaz, working for his third straight day, also had a third straight appearance without a clean inning. Called on to hold a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the eighth, Diaz issued a one-out walk and a two-out single before Daniel Descalso burned the Reds for the on consecutive nights with a pinch-hit RBI double that tied the game.
A Matt Carpenter walk loaded the bases and ended Diaz's turn, leaving it up to Hoover to get the third out. Hoover got a fly out ball to center field warning track by Kolten Wong.
When it came to the ninth, Price had no thoughts of replacing Hoover with Broxton as the heart of the Cardinals' order was due up.
"No there wasn't," Price said. "You've got to get through the lineup at some point in time and shut the door to create the opportunity. It's obviously easier to do at home than it is on the road."
The losers in seven of its last eight games, Cincinnati's season-high deficit in the National League Central is 10 games behind the first-place Brewers. The Reds have also dropped a Major League-most 31 one-run decisions.
Cincinnati, now 1-5 on its seven-game road trip, has assured itself of losing 11 of the last 12 series vs. the Cardinals.
"It's crazy, I've never been around something like that," Frazier said. "I never want to go through it again. We just have to keep going."

Does anyone know where I can get the slow piano version of "Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari" that plays on Bakemonogatari ep. 12?
it plays almost at the end of the episode as a background song while Senjougahara is naming the stars to Araragi kun.

I wonder which ones these is the track I liked. The one that plays when Araragi goes into Hanekawa's house and finds out about the conditions of the household, and then I also think it played when Hanekawa talked about her dad hitting her in ep1, and also when Oshino and Araragi were talking about Hanekawa in the last episode. Judging from the track titles, I'm thinking it would be 16, but for the most part I think that's the only track that stood out for me. Might go re-watch to see if there were any good tracks.

The Waratah struggled. According to Grant Aldous' the Stop-over that Stayed, the Waratah suffered from competition with the nearby Moonee Ponds and New Ascot theatres, and soon the theatre was bought out by Hoyts.
Even worse than their financial troubles though, the Waratah also suffered from banditry. In November 1921, in Flemington, William Longley, a 21 year old employee, was hit over the head and robbed of the days takings (200 pounds) from the Waratah. Then in August 1937, shots were fired when the managers of the Waratah and the Ascot Vale Bank were attacked. Cinema goers "ducked and ran for shelter" and the bandits made a get-away with the days takings from the Waratah (down to 21 pounds this time) in a stolen car.
In 1935 Hoyts refurbished the Waratah, hosting a gala reopening of the Waratah as "The Hoyts New Plaza Theatre" in August (see the Essendon Gazette, 8/8/1935). The relaunched theatre was claimed to have "every modern embellishment without sacrifice to homely comfort", and also featured RCA high fidelity talkie equipment.
A highpoint in the life of the cinema was in 1938 when the star of the Essendon Football Club, Dick Reynolds, won the Brownlow medal for a third time and a celebratory party was held for him and his team mates at the Waratah (Essendon Gazette 15/09/1938).
Sadly, in 1959 the Waratah closed and was demolished, being replaced with a petrol service station (Essendon Gazette 25/02/1959).
PS. This post was written after I looked into the history of the Waratah for an inquiry from someone who remembered living near the Waratah. If you have memories of the Waratah, or any of the other theatres in Moonee Valley it would be fascinating to hear from you.

Tangerine overlap skirt.
Added Nov 4, 2012
by cynthia-1
Wollongong, Aust...
Recently, I had some fruitful (no pun intended) op-shop adventures and purchased this lovely bright tangerine cotton sateen (?) I'm not sure exactly what type of fabric it is but it is quiet sturdy, yet manages to drape well. It also has a subtle lustre and sheen and an interesting intermittent grainwise texture. Luckily, I also came across a dress zipper that exactly matched the fabric colour, at an another op shop on my travels! And of course, I already had more than a few op-shop sourced sewing patterns in my stash.
I chose this fantastic retro 'Very Easy Very Vogue' pattern (circa 1993) and I made Skirt B (see last pic) : a knee-length, semi-fitted, slightly tapered skirt with waistband, front pleated overlay and concealed side hemline slit. I have previously made Greenie's overlap skirt from leftovers from the same pattern but for that version,I inserted an exposed zipper with metal teeth instead of a dress zipper. At that time, I thought the green skirt felt a bit "corporate" but I think this less structured, more flowing cotton sateen moves it towards smart casual. No alterations to the pattern this time – dress zipper and medium skirt hook and eye used as suggested on pattern notes.
In the photos, I am wearing this skirt with my Sorbetto with lace cap sleeves top which I made earlier this year. This is a fun, bright and unique skirt to glam up my summer days!
Material Notes
(?) cotton sateen (tangerine) 90cm wide ($5.00 for approx 2.5 metres from the op-shop) interfacing; dress zipper (50c from another op-shop); medium skirt hook and eye; thread;
Pattern notes also suggest wool crepe, tissue faille and challis.

Good news for writers!
The advisory below was forwarded from a fellow journalist who thought Mose might find it clever.
Clever? It's invaluable!
The University of Chicago Magazine is pleased to offer its readers unused punctuation for a nominal price, including periods, question marks, exclamation points, hyphens, and mismatched sets of parentheses, brackets, and quotation marks. Limited supply of interrobangs and diacritical marks. Commas available in bulk! Please write to the editor of this magazine for more information. Sorry, no semicolons.
Because a lot of writers and editors don't know how to use a semicolon – and most of the rest don't like to use them – that's not a problem.
But Mose suggests that journalists take advantage of the commas in bulk. If commas are sold in sub-groups, journalists should stock up on three specialty types.
Serial commas: Mose loves the serial comma, even if many writers and editors have been brainwashed to think it's superfluous to place a comma before the coordinating conjunction in a series.
Such thinking has evolved, Mose is certain, from a mis-reading of The Associated Press Stylebook, which suggests that the serial comma is unnecessary "in a simple series: The flag is red, white and blue. ..." But the serial comma is never grammatically wrong, even when the series involves simple, unmodified items.
But few series are that simple, and most include adjectives or modifying phrases that can taint unintended nouns if the serial comma is omitted. So buy all the serial commas you can afford. And use them.
Appositive commas: A good supply of these will help to avoid a common mistake of omission, which is a result of carelessness and/or ignorance. A big box of appositive commas will ensure the problem isn't a lack of supply.
An appositive is a phrase or word (or name or number) that explains (or means the same thing as) the word it follows. While it adds detail, it is not essential to the grammatical integrity of a sentence.
The missing appositive comma is always the second one, which is needed to let the reader know that the appositive has concluded and the core sentence is resuming. For example:
Joe Smith, vice president of finance for the hospital, declined to comment on the lawsuit.
The sentence Joe Smith declined to comment ... is enhanced by an appositive that explains who he is.
A common error occurs with simple appositives. A writer would never miss the second comma when an appositive provides an age: Joe Smith, 42, was arrested Thursday on a charge of embezzlement.
But the appositive comma often is omitted in other uses: The indicted banker will be arraigned in Pittsburg, Kan. before being taken to a federal prison in Topeka. Oops! That sentence needs a comma after Kan., which is a simple appositive that explains which Pittsburg is involved. (Unlike Pennsylvania, Kansas spells it without the -h at the end.)
Comma fault (also known as comma blunder or comma splice): This involves the misuse of a comma when other punctuation is needed (e.g., period, semicolon) – or sometimes the lack of a necessary comma.
A missing comma can result in something your seventh-grade English teacher called a "run-on sentence." This example came from a political columnist: The guy ain't going anywhere anytime soon and pretty much everybody knows it.
That's two complete sentences (independent clauses) separated by a coordinating conjunction (and) that should be preceded by a comma. The comma fault seems to crop up frequently in direct quotations that are not punctuated properly.
If you find that the University of Chicago magazine has sold all of its commas (which isn't likely, given the lack of demand by too many writers and their editors), then shop elsewhere.
The clarity of your writing demands that you have a good supply – and that you use them.

Lawgirl, since reading this board I have seen all the great advice you have given. I know everyone studies differently and different things work better for different people, but I am curious as to your approach to finals. How many days do you devote to memorizing and how much to practicing exam answers? Do you have any advice about how to best approach/prepare for writing good exams answers and yet be able to finish within the time alloted? I felt really good about the first half of my answer on an exam today but not so confident on the last portion because of the time crunch.
I think I've been called on the most in Crim, just b/c the professor is like that with everybody. My property professor is very random and when she calls on you, she stays on you for the entire day. If she gets you into a ping-pong situation and you don't know the answer she'll wait on YOU and will tell everybody else to put their hands down. so needless to say, I stayed prepared for property throughout the semester.K never called on anybody, thus I learned the least in that class.Torts - he keeps it pretty active so usually there are a lot of hands to any question he asks.Take my first law school exam (K) thursday so tell you how it went on friday...
More then four months into the process and I have not been called on even once in any of my classes.
Quote from: jeffjoe on January 14, 2005, 07:37:10 PMMore then four months into the process and I have not been called on even once in any of my classes. Sorry, but if this is true your law school is doing you a disservice. I have been called on at least 3 times in every class, and more than 10 times in one class. I can't imagine the classes at NSL are so large as to render being called on rare. Maybe the Socratic Method is not as widely used there?

Bridge cable to be reconnected Friday night
Bridge cable to be reconnected Friday night
BENTON, Ky. —
Communications technicians will reconnect fiber optic cable across the Eggner's Ferry Bridge this weekend.
The Paducah Sun reported the work will be done Friday night.
The cable was severed when a ship struck the bridge over Kentucky Lake on Jan. 26, 2012, bringing down one section of it. AT&T temporarily restored Internet and telephone service by running a cable across the bottom of the lake.
A new cable has been strung across the bridge and workers will tie it into the main lines.
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet spokesman Keith Todd said work will begin at both ends of the bridge about 9 p.m. Friday. Traffic should not be affected.

Since Tiger Woods decided to undergo his "therapy" in my hometown, I have been asked repeatedly "what's Tiger's next move" ? Seeing only one way to get the REAL story on this, I reached out to an old friend (recently paroled, but who cares) who happens to be an employee of said rehab facility to get his take on the sitch. Not only was my old buddy (let's call him "the Chemist") able to shed some considerable light on this, he was shrewd enough to make some
secret recordings of what he heard notes about what he saw. It seems that his job as the person who lurked outside Tiger's suite as often as possible who was responsible for making sure Tiger's suite was well stocked with fruit and bottled water allowed him easy access to secretly record all their conversations to closely observe Tigers progress.
Based on the
tapes notes that the Chemist provided me, Bushwood is prepared to reveal Tiger's top secret strategy to reclaiming his rightful throne as the biggest horndog alive the world's greatest golfer.
Get ready for Tiger 3.0...
Move #1: Get rid of the Blue/Gray on Thursday, Red shirt on Sunday look. We are the now the BAD GUY, so we are embracing it. There are now only two wardrobe choices: (1) All Black (complete with black wraparound sunglasses), and (2) Full Camo. We are here to kick ass and take names, not sell shirts or make Tida and her dumb ass hats happy.
Move #2: Fire Stevie Williams. That's right get rid of the nasty,smelly,worn-out Aussie. Replace him with Heidi Montag. Not only is she a smokin' hot blonde with double G's, but as often as she has her "procedures" done, no one will recognize her from week to week - which means to the world, Tiger will have A DIFFERENT hot blonde carrying his bag every week. Oh, and the dress code for Heidi...let's just say we are gonna let Pamela Anderson be in charge of that...(yep, she's on the payroll too)
Move #3: Fire the wimpy sponsors (Nike,TAG,etc) - we don't need em, and we don't care what they think.
Move #4: Pack heat - That's right, not only will Tiger be carrying a "Bimbo du jour" at his side, he will be packing a .40 caliber automatic handgun on his left hip, too. Think he had a problem earlier with dudes snapping cameras in his backswing...not anymore. Think Tony Montana saying "say hello to my little friend"...
Move #5: In his first tournament back, he asks Sergio and Colin Montgomery to come over for a little chat...and then he breaks out his newly learned (from Elin !) bad a$$ ninja moves on em. He shatters Monty's right knee with one kick, crushes Sergio's honker with the palm of his hand, and then snaps BOTH of his forearms like so many pretzels (that should make Sergio's latest WAG show him how much she REALLY loves him). Tiger then walks calmly to the putting green as if nothing happened, and strokes a few in the hole.
Move #6: Gone are the fist pumps and the benign motions to the crowd...Tiger hires Chad Ochocinco (it's the offseason for the NFL, ya'll), and they team up for a bad a$$ version of the Birdie Boogie after every birdie, complete with a full on spike of the Black Noodle, and a lap around the green while carrying the flag.
Move #7: Ah, lucky #7.... Well,since he has fired Nike, he is free to play any ball he wants. He buys the rights to an existing ball currently made by MaxFli, borrows a marketing idea from an old Nike ball, adds some Cialis to the "mix", and whips out on the unsuspecting public his new trademark ....that's right, it's the
"Black Noodle - It's Long, It's Hard, It's Here to Play...
He then returns to the Tour, and proceeds to win the Accenture Match Play event without losing a SINGLE hole, accepts the trophy, and promptly smashes it over Johnny Millers melon...
Now THAT, my golfing friends, is how Tiger just BLOWS UP on ya!!!

"Incubator...Not good at any price!"
Got this incubator at the regular price, didn't want to plug in my Sportsman for a few dozen eggs, and had it 2 day shipped. The gauges are for reference only, didn't reflect accurate AT ALL, Not even close! Put several thermometers in to get the temp steady, and after the first day, the temp was ALL over the place! Not a newb, been doing this for almost 25 years. Sparking up my Sportsman and SENDING THIS BACK!!! Maybe I got a bad circuit board, but cripes, temp range going from 85-104? I think a week of watching and re-calibrating is too much!

TAMPA, Fla. — Buccaneers safety Dashon Goldson's one game suspension has been reduced to a $100,000 fine for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Darren Sproles of New Orleans.
The NFL announced the decision Wednesday by Matt Birk, who handles appeals of discipline of on-field punishment for players for the league and NFL Players Association.
Goldson was suspended one game without pay Monday for flagrant and repeat violations of NFL safety rules prohibiting hits to the head and neck area of defenseless players. This will allow him to play Sunday against New England.
He was penalized for unnecessary roughness in last week's game against New Orleans for the hit. It was Goldson's fifth violation for unnecessary roughness since 2011.
Birk upheld a $30,000 fine for another Goldson helmet to helmet hit in the opener against New York Jets tight end Jeff Cumberland.
Goldson was an All-Pro last season with San Francisco, helping the 49ers reach the Super Bowl. He joined Tampa Bay as a free agent, signing a five-year, $41.25 million contract.
If the seventh-year pro's suspension had been upheld it would have cost Goldson $264,705 in salary.
The Bucs have committed a league-high 23 penalties for 220 yards in two games. They've been flagged for six personal fouls — five for helmet-to-helmet contact and the other for a late hit on Jets quarterback Geno Smith.

There is something in Matt Damon — "in the unsoothable anxiety of his gaze, and in the squat, wrestler's physique that seems less buffed than primed to explode," writes The New Yorker's Anthony Lane — that wants to be big.
Sure, you could watch the actor in his "Elysium" half-metal jacket on a regular screen, but why not go all the way: Damon on IMAX.
Tickets are on sale now for a special 10 p.m. Thursday advance screening of "Elysium" in the AutoNation IMAX Theater at the Museum of Discovery and Science in Fort Lauderdale. The politically resonant sci-fi thriller from Neill Blomkamp ("District 9") opens in theaters across the country next weekend, and seems poised to dominate the box office. (As Lane rejoiced in his recent review: "At last, a good big film.")
To purchase advance tickets, contact the museum's box office: 954-713-0930. More info: MODS.org.

Alliance Community Hospital is a non-profit hospital founded in 1901. It is licensed for 204 beds, including 78 nursing home and transitional care beds housed in their attached, long-term care facility, Community Care Center.
The hospital found it a difficult task of balancing a healing environment and a healthcare organization. For their renovation they were searching for a flooring solution that was easy to clean, sustainable, aesthetically pleasing and would increase their return on investment. With Johnsonite's iQ products, Alliance Community Hospital found the solution they were looking for.
Johnsonite's Optima and Granit iQ products are no wax, no finish for life and allow the hospital to clean their floors in minimal time with only a mop and neutral pH cleaner, thus reducing downtime and disruption in this busy environment. Calm and soothing colors were selected for their high-performance floors, creating positive vibrations. The balance of performance and aesthetics has provided Alliance a floor that meets their stringent requirements on comfort, while creating measurable economic return.
"Coming from a background where I was a sales representative for a chemical cleaning company I did not have much faith in a floor that never had to be waxed," said Bob Madison, Environmental Services Co-Director at Alliance Community Hospital. "We have a common gathering area in our nursing home where wheel chairs and constant foot traffic were a concern of mine. However, I have witnessed the positive performance of this floor. I am now a true believer in Johnsonite's iQ products."

Egypt's army chief defends ousting President Morsi in televised speech
CAIRO – Facing unrelenting pressure from Muslim Brotherhood protesters, Egypt's military chief sought to justify his decision to remove Mohmmed Morsi from office, saying Sunday in a televised speech that the Islamist leader had violated his popular mandate and antagonized state institutions.
The comments by Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi -- his first since the president's ouster nearly two weeks ago -- came as the designated interim prime minister pushed ahead with talks to form a new Cabinet this week.
Reform advocate Mohamed ElBaradei was sworn in as Egypt's interim vice president for international relations on Sunday. The move reinforces the role of liberals in the new leadership who are strongly opposed to the Brotherhood.
Several secular-minded candidates also have been approached to lead the foreign, finance, culture, information and other key ministries. Nabil Fahmy, who served as Egypt's former ambassador to the United States for over a decade under Hosni Mubarak, was tapped to be foreign minister, according to state media.
The United States sent its No. 2 diplomat in the State Department, William Burns, to Cairo to meet with interim government officials as well as civil society and business leaders during his two-day visit. Burns is the first high-level American official to visit since Morsi's ouster.
Many in the international community fear the ouster of Morsi, Egypt's first democratically elected president, would undermine Egypt's transition to democracy.
The State Department said Burns would underscore U.S. support for the Egyptian people and a transition leading to an inclusive, democratically elected civilian government. The United States has called for Morsi's release. Since his ouster, Morsi has been held incommunicado at an undisclosed location.
El-Sissi said the armed forces acted to remove Morsi on July 3 according to the will of the people as the country was sliding toward deeper polarization and more violence. The Islamist leader was the first democratically chosen leader after a narrow victory in elections last year.
"The armed forces sincerely accepted the choice of the people, but then political decision-making began stumbling," el-Sissi said. "The armed forces remained committed to what it considered the legitimacy of the ballot box, even though that very legitimacy began to do as it pleased and in a way that contradicted the basis and the origin of this legitimacy."
Morsi's election came after months of turmoil following the 2011 revolution that removed autocratic leader Hosni Mubarak from office, in a rocky transition that was marred by persistent protests, political disagreements and an economy teetering on bankruptcy.
His supporters say the military staged a coup in a bid to undermine the rising influence of Islamists, and thousands have camped out for days near a mosque in eastern Cairo to demand he be reinstated. The Muslim Brotherhood, which propelled Morsi to power, has called for massive protests Monday to escalate pressure on the military. Some Muslim Brotherhood leaders have called for el-Sissi to be removed, and put on trial accusing him of treason.
Brotherhood spokesman Gehad el-Haddad responded to el-Sissi's remarks, saying that the military had no right to act on behalf of the people of Egypt except through "orders of their elected commander in chief," meaning Morsi. In comments posted on Twitter, he said the military also has no right to decide which protest is worthy enough to represent the people.
Morsi was ousted by the military after four days of protests by millions of his opponents.
El-Sissi said Morsi "entered into a conflict with the judiciary, the media, the police and the public opinion. Then (he) also entered into a conflict with the armed forces." He didn't elaborate on the nature of the conflict with the military, but said that comments about the military offended "and were considered a stab to the national pride."
El-Sissi, speaking to an auditorium filled with military officers, said the armed forces could no longer stand on the sidelines as millions of Egyptians took to the streets to call for the Islamist leader to step down over allegations he was abusing his power.
The military chief said he frequently advised Morsi and finally reached out to him before giving him a 48-hour ultimatum to reconcile with opponents and address public demands. He said he sent two envoys, including then Prime Minister Hesham Kandil and a trusted legal expert, urging the president to hold a referendum on whether voters still supported his presidency, but the suggestion was rejected out of hand.
El-Sissi appealed to all parties, in an apparent nod to Morsi's supporters, to participate in the new transition, saying it is overseen by an unbiased leader and will restore the right of people to choose.
But continuing its crackdown on the Brotherhood leadership, Egypt's new chief prosecutor ordered frozen the assets of Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohammed Badie and at least 13 other senior members of the group pending investigations into deadly violence outside the organization's headquarters in Cairo and the Republic Guard forces club.
Meanwhile, the military-backed government pressed forward with its transition plan. ElBaradei, a 71-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner, was sworn in as vice president for international relations, although his exact mandate was not clear. The former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the U.N. nuclear watchdog based in Vienna, returned home to assume a role in the anti-Mubarak uprising and became one of the most visible leaders in the badly fractured Egyptian liberal and secular opposition to Morsi's government.
Khaled Dawoud, a spokesman for the National Salvation Front, a coalition of largely secular groups, said ElBaradei was no longer the head of the umbrella organization.
Designated prime minister Hazem el-Beblawi also met with a number of candidates for his new Cabinet, which is expected to be announced on Wednesday.
Others expected on the roster are Mohammed Mukhtar Gomaa -- who works in the office of the head of the top learning institute in the Muslim Sunni world Al-Azhar -- as head of the religious endowment ministry. Gomaa, who also heads the faculty of Islamic and Arabic studies in Al-Azhar university, was seen as nod to moderate Islam.
The fast-track transitional timetable included also appointing two panels to amend the constitution passed under Morsi. Those changes would be put to a referendum within about 4 1/2 months, followed by parliamentary elections and the presidential elections.
Violence in the aftermath of Morsi's ouster peaked a week ago Monday when the military opened fire on Brotherhood supporters who were holding a sit-in outside the Republican Guard forces club, leading to hours of clashes. More than 50 protesters were killed and hundreds wounded. The Brotherhood claimed the military opened fire on protesters, while the army says it was responding to Morsi supporters trying to storm the Republican Guard building.
Human Rights Watch said it appeared that "the military and police used unnecessary force" and that prosecutors have investigated only Brotherhood supporters and leaders for their alleged roles in the clashes, but not security forces.
"It is not clear from the footage which side used live ammunition first," according to HRW's statement Sunday, which added that "what is clear... is that the army responded with lethal force that far exceeded any apparent threat to the lives of military personnel."
Meanwhile, violence was on the rise in the restive Sinai peninsula. Soon after midnight, militants fired a missile at a moving armored police vehicle south of North Sinai's capital el-Arish, hitting instead a nearby bus carrying workers going to a local cement factory, security officials said. Three factory workers were killed and 16 were injured, including three in serious condition, medical officials said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
Security officials said militants also blew up a police station under construction in central Sinai by detonating explosive devices, leaving a resident seriously injured.
The secretary general of the Brotherhood's political arm, Hussein Ibrahim, condemned the violence on his Facebook page. Ibrahim called the attacks "staged" with the intention of dragging the country toward violence, and in turn justifying "the coup against legitimacy."
Militant groups have lashed out following the military ouster of Morsi, targeting police stations and security checkpoints and vowing to drive the military out of the area.
In the past 10 days, at least eight security officers have been killed. Christians in the area have also been targeted. Two Christians were killed, one a priest. A gas pipeline to Jordan was bombed, ending a lull in such strikes.

Revision as of 22:38, 13 May 2009 by HistoricAccount Kreistor (talk | contribs) (Added link, fixed capitalization)
Proposed Canon
The Shmucker is the primary currency of Erfworld. To date, the only other unit of currency that has been mentioned is the Rand; no exchange rate has been indicated.
Shmuckers that belong to a Side are stored in the Side's treasury. Shmuckers that belong to a Warlord or Caster are stored in a personal purse. It is implied that in both cases Shmuckers are not stored as physical objects (e.g. coins), but rather as symbolical means of exchange.
What follows is a list of prices and values that have been mentioned in the comic, ordered by value:
- The Spell to summon Parson cost a total of 500,000Erf-b1-p005 Shmuckers; 150,000 for the casting and support plan, 350,000 (which is all that Stanley would pay) for the Scroll itself. Stanley considered this an outrageous sum, and the larger figure was literally Gobwin Knob's entire treasuryErf-b1-p006 at the start of the Battle for Gobwin Knob.
- Charlie tried to charge Don King 250,000 per turn to ally himself with Transylvito in order to ambush Stanley on his way to Faq.Erf-b1-p107 The price was high, and designed to make Don King reluctant to pay.
- Jillian argues that 2,500 Shmuckers for Charlie's ThinkagramErf-b1-p051 service is far from a "nominal" fee as advertised by one of the Archons. Webinar mentions that the fee is "for two-way". A presumably one-way Thinkagram to Ansom cost her 1700 Shmuckers, which was almost her entire purse.Erf-b1-p083
- Parson's upkeep is "over 1,000 Shmuckers per turn"Erf-b1-p038. Stanley seems to regard this as annoyingly expensive, but not utterly outrageous.

Strange, I have not received any notifications about replies to this thread. Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
After releasing the game on Steam I got offered to hold some classes teaching programming. I thought that would be a great opportunity for future projects/work. And then I got offered a full time job as an IT developer, which I really couldn't say no to as I lost my previous job a few months back. So I have been quite busy.
In December Razer Cortex sent out an email to all developers that they are closing down the store and wont be accepting any new games in 2018, which probably means the same for the Ouya store. I am very sorry that I couldn't find the time and energy to get RTA released on Ouya earlier. The game sadly took too long to finish due to work and life getting in my way. Steam is also no longer a great store to be on due to the massive amount of games released every day. It is sad to see the Android consoles dying, I thought the Ouya was a great concept for playing and releasing indie games.

, Rome November 5- A group of Italian computer boffins have launched a new website, Mafialeaks, aimed at encouraging victims of organised crime and former gangsters to spill the beans, La Repubblica newspaper reported Tuesday.
The site will allow people "to denounce mafia activities anonymously, protecting those who supply the information," the daily said, citing one of the creators.
Mafialeaks is aimed at victims such as shopkeepers or businessmen forced to pay protection money as well as ex-criminals who want to inform against their former partners and bosses and citizens who have uncovered mafia villainy.
Information posted to the site is directed through the Tor anonymity network to protect user identities and is passed to sources such as anti mafia magistrates, journalists or the police.
In order to protect themselves from acts of retaliation, the boffins are keeping their own identities secret.
"There are fewer than 10 of us, with families. Everything we do to do with Mafialeaks we do after work, using money from our own pockets," one said.
Interviewed by La Repubblica, magistrate Nicola Gratteri welcomed the site in principle but warned it could be abused.
"Mafialeaks could be a good way of spreading a certain type of information and shattering the wall of silence" surrounding organised crime, he said, but it could also mask "desires for vengeance."

State Department Recognizes Contributions of JMU Fellows
Emma Atkinson was handed a portfolio with some of the most relevant foreign policy topics "and allowed to jump right into them."
Kurt Chesko met contacts who hired him to open a new office of the HALO Trust, the world's largest humanitarian landmine clearance agency.
Katie Smith will never forget traveling to Mozambique and South Sudan to see demining work in action and Elise Becker had similar experiences in Senegal and Guinea-Bissau.
The four JMU alumni had those experiences while working as Frasure-Kruzel-Drew Memorial Fellows in Humanitarian Demining for the U.S. Department of State. The fellowship, a partnership between the Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement in the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs and the Center for International Stabilization and Recovery at JMU, was established in 1999 to honor three U.S. government officials who died in an August 1995 automobile accident in Bosnia and Herzegovina while on a mission to negotiate an end to the conflict there. In its early years, the fellowship lasted about a semester, but it has been a 12-month position for the past several years. Since its start, 20 JMU graduates interested in international relations have benefited from the unique experience to intern with the State Department.
"To date, these 20 outstanding young professionals have all made a valuable contribution to the State Department's work in the field of conventional weapons destruction, including humanitarian mine action, coordinating outreach activities, supporting travel and serving as assistant program managers," said Andrew Shapiro, assistant secretary of state for the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, during an Aug. 29 reception for the fellows. "Each has taken full advantage of the opportunity to work for the federal government, broadening their horizons and gaining valuable work experience as they made their way from JMU to the working world."
Lindsay Aldrich, who received her master's degree in public administration from JMU this summer, is the 21st fellow, and the first graduate student selected for the position, which she started on Aug. 27.
"It seems like a great opportunity to work on an issue that I care about and to take part in what the U.S. is doing to restore safety and security for people in post-conflict areas around the world," said Aldrich, who previously worked for JMU Outreach and Engagement while doing her graduate work.
Atkinson, a 2009 JMU graduate, is now a program manager for conventional weapons destruction programs at the State Department and said the fellowship "provided an opportunity to be on the inside of what the U.S. government does in international relations and foreign policy."
During the fellowship, Atkinson said she had the opportunity to "get into the weeds on how humanitarian assistance programs are run and managed. I worked on hot foreign policy topics like South Sudan and Afghanistan and was even given the opportunity to travel to both countries. Talk about an eye-opening experience!"
Becker, a December 2005 graduate and now vice president for operations at The Marshall Legacy Institute, said one of the most beneficial parts of the fellowship was learning how to manage programs. "Toward the end of my fellowship I traveled to Senegal and Guinea-Bissau on a program assessment visit. I had a chance to meet the mine action operators and the U.S. embassy contacts who had the mine action portfolio and learn firsthand about the scope of contamination in both countries. I also helped put together several conferences in D.C. and Dubai hosted by the Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement."
Katie Smith, who is pursuing a master's degree at the University of Edinburgh, completed the fellowship in August and said traveling to Mozambique and South Sudan "was a powerful and very memorable experience and gave me a better understanding of the humanitarian demining process. My time with the State Department provided me a wonderful professional foundation."
Chesko also is in graduate school, pursuing a degree at New York University's Center for Global Affairs. He worked for more than 10 years at the HALO Trust, where in 2007 he became a vice president and oversaw fundraising and government relations.
"The FKD Fellowship is truly unique in the field and an amazing opportunity for a JMU graduate to play a role in weapons abatement globally and be of service to PM/WRA," said Dr. Suzanne Fiederlein, CISR associate director and HD Fellowship Coordinator. "CISR is proud to oversee the application process and always excited to see the global impact JMU graduates have during the fellowship and after."
Applications for the HD Fellowship are available on CISR's website (http://cisr.jmu.edu). The deadline to apply is Nov. 30. The fellowship is open to graduating seniors or recent graduates of JMU. For more information, visit the CISR website, connect with CISR on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/CISRJMU/) or e-mail CISR Project Manager Geary Cox (email@example.com).

EEMODS motor and drive conference set to make U.S. debut
Energy Efficiency in Motor Driven Systems (EEMODS) – a conference focusing on efficiency of motors, drives, and related systems—will be coming to the U.S. for the first time since its inception in 1995. EEMODS will be the hosted by the 1.MG Motor and Generator section of NEMA (National Electric Manufacturers Association), scheduled for the greater Washington, DC, area during Sept. 12-14, 2011. This 7th biennial event follows previous successful staging of the conference in Nantes, France in 2009; Beijing, China (2007); and Heidelberg, Germany (2005), among other sites.
EEMODS'11 serves as a forum to discuss and debate the latest developments on the impact of electrical motor systems on energy and the environment. The forum also provides platform discussions on policies and programs planned and adopted by governments and their agencies. The objective is to explain commercial advances of energy-efficient motors and systems. Topics covered in past EEMODS conferences have included:
- Energy management;
- International harmonization of motor testing and efficiency standards; and
- Innovative financial packages for motor systems.
Globally diverse attendee profile
"The conference has achieved a reputation for excellence and has attracted registration from six continents," said NEMA Industry Director William Hoyt. "It also has an intellectually diverse attendance coming from industry, academia, government, research laboratories, and other public service organizations." Countries represented at previous EEMODS conferences include Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Portugal, Sweden, Thailand, and the U.S., among others. Some 300 attendees are expected at EEMODS`11, which will be held at the Westin Alexandria, in Alexandria, VA.
Papers for presentation have been invited by the Organizing Committee on a wide range of topics. Accepted papers will be non-commercial and peer reviewed. Paolo Bertoldi, of the European Union's European Commission on Energy Efficiency, has coordinated the call for papers with NEMA's planning committee—which is staffed by representatives from Baldor Electric (now part of the ABB Group), Nidec Motor Corp., TECO-Westinghouse, International Copper Development Assoc., and NEMA.
The selected papers are expected to draw enthusiastic following during the conference and in published proceedings, given the wide range of topics as outlined below:
- Electric motors
- Emerging motor technologies
- Power electronics and drives
- Pumps and pumping systems
- Compressed air systems
- Fans and fan systems
- Refrigeration systems
- Motors in household appliances and HVAC
- Motors for transportation and other motor systems
- Optimization of industrial on-site energy production, distribution and
- transformation.
Policies and programs
- Industrial management policies
- Motor system audit and programs
- Policies, programs, and international issues
- Global test standards
- System efficiency
- Utility incentive programs.
On-line registration for EEMODS'11 is available, along with a direct link to the hotel reservation page.
The conference is still soliciting sponsorships to ensure that EEMODS continues to be a world-class event. The above Web site describes the various sponsor levels and benefits. For more information, contact NEMA's Bill Hoyt, who is also co-chair of the conference. email@example.com

Child cruelty and battery charges against a Redwood City special education teacher were dropped Thursday after the aides who had originally accused her changed their statements, according to San Mateo County prosecutors.
Alexia Alika Bogdis, 44, a teacher at Roosevelt Elementary School, was arrested in February 2012 after aides accused her of slapping a student, twisting a student's wrist and kicking the back of a chair, causing it to hit a student.
Bogdis, a Millbrae resident, was also accused of depriving a child of food. The two children in question were 4-year-old autistic boys, according to police and prosecutors.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said the charges were dropped Thursday due to insufficient evidence after the aides, who had been given immunity, backed off their original statements. The children, due to their age and condition, were considered unable to make statements in the case.
Bogdis had been out of custody on $15,000 bail at the time the charges were dismissed.
She was placed on paid administrative leave along with six other employees at the Redwood City School District after the allegations came to light on Feb. 1, 2012.
Eight employees were initially put on leave, but in a letter to parents in the district, Superintendent Jan Christensen later wrote that a review of the case indicated "six people knew of possible abuse and did not meet their legal obligation to report it."
