Onaji Namida wo Wakeatte
|Original / Romaji Lyrics
|English Translation
tachidomaru kaze no sakamichi
itsudatte nanimo iwazu ni
nayanderu kara KANAshiku naru
sukoshi dake kata ni mo tarete
amaeru no wa make ja nai ne
I stopped in the wind's sloping road
I never said anything
So now, I'm suffering sadly
Lean on my shoulder for a bit
If I act like a child, I lose
JAMAshi ni kite mo issho nara daijoubu
Konna fuu ni konna fuu ni
onaji namida o wake atte
zutto hanarenaide
zutto kono mama wa de
If we meet obstacles together, it will be OK
As it is, As it is
We're sharing the same tears
Don't leave me alone!
Everything will be the same
BOX de futari sawaida
me o tojite utsutta kao mite
kenashi au tabi waraete kuru
hitoribotchi ganbaru dake ga
seikai nara samishii yo ne
We made a lot of noise
With closed eyes, I hid my face from sight
When I meet abuse, I still smile
I'll just stand firm all alone
Even if the world is sad
suki ni nare sou issho nara daijoubu
konna fuu ni konna fuu ni
onaji egao de hiki atte
zutto kawaranaide
zutto kono mama de
If we experience love in life, it will be OK
As it is, As it is
We are led by the same smile
Don't change!
Everything will be as it is
JAMAshi ni kite mo issho nara daijoubu
donna toko mo donna toko mo
suki ni nare sou issho nara daijoubu
Even if obstacles come in life, it will be OK
And wherever we are, and wherever we are
If we experience love in life, it will be OK

PerkinElmer has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire EUROIMMUN Medical Laboratory Diagnostics for approximately $1.3 billion in cash.
Based in Lübeck, Germany, with approximately 2400 employees, EUROIMMUN is widely recognized as a global leader in autoimmune testing and an emerging force in infectious disease and allergy testing. The company has extensive expertise and capabilities across immunology, cell biology, histology, biochemistry and molecular biology. EUROIMMUN is expected to generate approximately $310 million in revenue this year, and over the past five years the company has averaged revenue growth of 19%. In 2016, the company generated sales in more than 130 countries worldwide, with approximately 45% of revenues in China, 30% in Europe, Middle East & Africa, 5% in the Americas and 20% in the rest of the world.
The acquisition combines two innovative, results-driven cultures with a shared mission of improving global health. The combination expands PerkinElmer's reach into autoimmune and allergy diagnostic markets, while offering new infectious disease capabilities to customers in China. In addition, as a market leader in the US for reproductive health, PerkinElmer will have the opportunity to drive EUROIMMUN's solutions into this well-established channel.
"With the acquisition of EUROIMMUN and its talented team of professionals, we are able to leverage our combined advanced detection, imaging and assay development capabilities, along with our strong collective market positions and synergistic commercial activities, to deliver better and more complete solutions to our customers around the world," said Robert Friel, chairman and chief executive officer of PerkinElmer. "We look forward to working with the EUROIMMUN team as we partner together to help improve global health through advanced diagnostics."
"I am delighted to entrust EUROIMMUN to PerkinElmer, a company I believe shares our important mission and will secure the continuity of our culture and tradition of innovation that we have developed over the last 30 years," said Winfried Stöcker, founder and chief executive officer of EUROIMMUN.
Through its wide range of instruments, reagents, assay platforms and software offerings, PerkinElmer's comprehensive global diagnostics portfolio will now include solutions focused on: reproductive health; autoimmune, infectious disease and allergy testing; gene analyses; and genomics offerings for oncology and other molecular tests.
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is currently anticipated to close in the fourth quarter of 2017 following the receipt of required standard regulatory approvals.

This map shows the locations of US tornadoes over the past 56 years. The eastern two thirds of the country looks unsafe to me, compared to the Rockies. I had imagined that tornado alley was a small swath, it looks more like half of the US.
Views: 718
Southern Illinois here. On Leap Day this year, Harrisburg, Illinois, had an EF4 tornado go through and flattened the city. I live less than an hour's drive from there. In addition, I live in the New Madrid earthquake fault zone, which was the largest earthquake recorded in the contiguous 48 states in 1812. The Good Friday earthquake in Alaska in 1964 was larger, but by comparison to where I live, the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 was smaller. I've been in several earthquakes and about 3 tornadoes.
Should I move? OK. But please find a location for me on our geologically active planet where there is no violent upheavals or weather. Where I live, I need not worry about tsunamis, volcanoes, hurricanes, landslides, or monsoons. Drought, blizzards, floods - been there and done that. So, where do you move to avoid nature?
I'm told the moon is pretty devoid of weather, and no noxious neighbors, either ... but it's probably a pretty serious commute to work!
Frankly, I still like Cleveland, snow and all.
Hmmmm, Mare Tranquillitatis. Can I phone in or email my reports. Been looking for a place to be a hermit. Then again, there are meteoroids. Awww, crap. Guess I'll stay where I'm at. Besides, the "all you can eat" catfish dinners with hush puppies are pretty good here.
You're absolutely right. This planet is "alive," and maybe the moon has no weather, but it does have quakes. (Ask Loren to tell you about Heinlein's short story titled "Gentlemen, Be Seated." It's a classic.)
Oh, and commuting via email has a 3-second round trip speed-of-light time lag.
If the Yellowstone volcano goes off, we are all doomed.
That must have been a scary experience. Here in eastern PA people don't take tornado warnings seriously enough. We go into our basement with a radio and flashlights until the all clear, but almost everybody else just goes about their business as if nothing is happening. But then sometimes I see the public just ignoring fire alarms too, as if they have no brains. It's happened twice at our gym. People just keep exercising, as if they won't take it seriously unless they actually see smoke, by which time it may be a tad late.
The thing about fire alarms is, surely 99% of the time they are false. I often wonder if on a strictly cost-benefit basis, when a fire alarm goes off, maybe the fire department should just send one truck "normal response", instead of three trucks going lights-and-sirens. Almost every time, that would be more than an adequate response, and much safer!
But here, at least, the tornado warnings are activated manually at the county emergency communications center, and when one sounds, you know that there really is a tornado in the vicinity. But even then, it is extremely unlikely that a tornado that might have been seen or detected on radar somewhere within 30 miles will actually hit my house.
In that 2006 storm, we actually had a number of tornadoes go through the town -- the first time in history -- but all that I got at my house was some little bits of pink fiberglass insulation that ominously dropped out of the sky. Quite a few houses and major structures were damaged or destroyed, however, as well as a lot of trees. Since then, I've gotten very conscientious about watching the weather!
I wouldn't count on "watching" for a tornado when there's a tornado warning. Unlike Hollywood portrayals, in real life by the time people actually see the funnel it may be too late to get to shelter, because they move so fast. I lost the article which described waiting to see the tornado as a chief cause of tornado fatality.
A false alarm rate of 10% is considered high.
But the high number of false alarms means that about one in 10 of the emergency calls from monitored fire alarms is a waste of time, according to Denver Fire Department reports going back to 2001 obtained through a Colorado Open Records Act request.
High Rate of False Fire Alarms Plagues Denver
On the map, I see several have happened in my neighborhood (SE Idaho), but I don't think they amount to much. A few years ago, there was one about 5 miles from me. It only lasted about 5 minutes and did no damage except tipping-over an 18-wheeler.
I've never been much afraid of natural disasters, although I've never experienced a bad one. One day in California, I was in a phone booth talking to my girlfriend when the booth started rocking. I just laughed and continued talking.
I may become more frightened if I were in a bad quake, but I know it still wouldn't scare me like people scare me.

The P71 package upgraded pretty much all the Crown Vic's hardware for police duty, with the exception of the engine's cylinder count. Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Crown Vic rectifies that oversight with a Triton Ten under its hood, but does its price tag also have too many added numbers?
The reality TV show Gene Simmons Family Jewels supposedly let you get inside the KISS bassist's family life. If that wasn't enough for you, yesterday's Custom Radio Station VW Beetle let you get inside his head. Sadly for whoever is dumping money into that KISS-tastrophy, 90% of you felt that the Gene Machine didn't deserve the stage time, much less its impending encore.
Ford's Modular Engine family was an encore of sorts to the company's long-serving family of V8s,- the Windsors. Named not for a sharing of parts but for the chameleon-like manufacturing flexibility of its production line, the new OHC engines found homes in the Mustang, Thunderbird, and F-series pickups, as well as the various Mercury and Lincoln products based on those Fords. The 4.6-litre V8 edition also found its way under the hood of the company's stalwart conveyer of both AARP members and law enforcement, the Crown Victoria.
You may consider 8 is enough If you're into hackneyed '80s TV drivel, but if you're anything like Jay Groendyke, creator of today's Triton-powered P71, then you know that the only model that will do is a perfect 10. This '99 Interceptor has had wedged beneath its hood a 6.8-litre Triton V10 yanked from a wrecked F350. That means a claimed 310 horsepower and 425 lb-ft of tire twisting torque.
The V10 is said to be an easy fit, able to use the stock V8 engine mounts and riding an inch and a half farther forward than its 8/10s cousin. One change made necessary by the mounting of an engine where it wasn't originally intended was the flipping of the intake from front to back. The hood has been modded to allow airflow from its rear edge, but it's not apparent from the outside
Behind the big Triton is a 4-speed 4R100 automatic, with a quick shift kit installed. Sorry slushbox haters. That big-ass tranny did require some punching out of the floorpan tunnel, but unlike other kinds of tranny tunnel punching, it doesn't seem to have suffered any for it. Exhaust, cooling, and most importantly electronics, have all been sorted out, and according to this Hot Rod article, the car was used as the builder's daily driver, racking up more than 20K miles .
In addition to the 6.8, this P71 features blacked-out Eagle alloys, smoked lenses front and rear, and, due to its former duty in the civil service, more body piercings than the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Most of those have been plugged, but the slots in the front bumper do encourage the return of a push bar, which might just add to this Panther's coolness factor.
Inside, there's a digital dash and skinny cop seats designed - I guess- to accommodate fat cops. Everything else looks clean and tidy and of course as plasticky as you would expect of Ford's value-leader big car from the nineties.
Originally set up to run on propane, the car has since been retrofitted for gas. I mean, it ran on gas before but now it runs on gas. . . I mean, arrrgh! YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. The ad says that all the parts are in a box in case you want to once again make the car a propane in the ass. It also says that there's an extra 2-valve Triton available should the buyer have
a boat in need of an anchor the urge to haul it off.
This Crown Vic was featured not only in Hot Rod but also in Car and Driver, in an article about CNG cars. That kind of validates this Triton-powered Panther (Tritonther?) being a great example of the late, lamented Crown Vic, and being about as professionally done a conversion as you could ask. The melding of Truck drivetrain and cop car host is just crazy enough to work, but does its price work as well? The seller is asking $15,000 for a Buy it Now button click, and that's about 5 times what a stock P71 of this era might bring. Of course, this one ain't stock, and as it's likely the only V10 Crown Vic in existence outside of some dank Ford skunkworks back room, it's got uniqueness going for it too.
But is it really worth that kind of cash? What do you think, is its $15,000 price this V10 P71's crowning achievement? Or, does that make this a Triton that's just not tryin'?
You decide!

The changing light at San Francisco is none of your East Coast light none of your pearly light of Paris The light of San Francisco is a sea light an island light And the light of fog
Lawrence Ferlinghetti
On March 24, 1919, Lawrence Ferlinghetti was born in Yonkers, New York. After spending his early childhood in France, he received his BA from the University of North Carolina, an MA from Columbia University, and a PhD from the Sorbonne.
During World War II he served in the US Naval Reserve and was sent to Nagasaki shortly after it was bombed. He married in 1951 and has one daughter and one son.
In 1953, Ferlinghetti and Peter Martin began to publish City Lights magazine. They also opened the City Lights Books Shop in San Francisco to help support the magazine. In 1955, they launched City Light Publishing, a book-publishing venture. City Lights became known as the heart of the "Beat" movement, which included writers such as Kenneth Rexroth, Gary Snyder, Allen Ginsberg, and Jack Kerouac.
Ferlinghetti is the author of more than thirty books of poetry, including Time of Useful Consciousness (New Directions, 2012); Poetry as Insurgent Art (New Directions, 2007); Americus, Book I (New Directions, 2004); San Francisco Poems (City Lights Books, 2002); How to Paint Sunlight (New Directions, 2001); A Far Rockaway of the Heart (New Directions, 1997); These Are My Rivers: New & Selected Poems, 1955-1993 (New Directions, 1993); Over All the Obscene Boundaries: European Poems & Transitions (New Directions, 1984); Who Are We Now? (New Directions, 1976); The Secret Meaning of Things (New Directions, 1969); and A Coney Island of the Mind (New Directions, 1958). He has translated the work of a number of poets including Nicanor Parra, Jacques Prevert, and Pier Paolo Pasolini. Ferlinghetti is also the author of more than eight plays and of the novels Love in the Days of Rage (Overlook, 1988) and Her (New Directions, 1966).
In 1994, San Francisco renamed a street in his honor. He was also named the first poet laureate of San Francisco in 1998. His other awards and honors include the lifetime achievement award from the National Book Critics Circle in 2000, the Frost Medal in 2003, and the Literarian Award in 2005, presented for "outstanding service to the American literary community."
Currently, Ferlinghetti writes a weekly column for the San Francisco Chronicle. He also continues to operate the City Lights bookstore, and he travels frequently to participate in literary conferences and poetry readings.

For decades my mother, who is 89, owned a mobile home in Butler County on which she faithfully paid taxes.
Several years ago, after moving Tennessee to live with my wife and me, she sold it (gave it, actually) to the owner of the mobile home court where it is located. Since then, we've continued to receive tax bills on the property, including threats to auction the property for delinquent taxes.
We've written the tax collector several times, providing notarized documents and a copy of the bill of sale that should have explained that she no longer owns property in Butler County, but we've received no response other than more bills.
What do we have to do to get through to these people? We're trying to find a lawyer to represent us, but in the meantime, the Butler County tax collector is achieving nothing but adding stress to an elderly woman's life when she can least cope with it.
Can someone help — or please direct us to someone who can?

In an interview with Atlantic senior editor Corby Kummer, Martha Stewart, performer of 2009 hit "Shine Blockas" ft. Gucci Mane and owner of Chow Chow guard dog Genghis Khan, says that when she first started her company and people began telling her that she broke through the glass ceiling, she did not have a fig what they were talking about.
"But now I do!" she adds quickly, and asserts that there aren't enough women who are raising families in high company positions, especially food production companies because (Stewart hypothesizes) that women are more likely to care about giving their kids organic food rather than the humongous, hormone-injected strawberries that are currently on sale at your local Shop-Rite, et cetera.

Despite a sell-off among the nation's biggest homebuilders this week, a decline in builder sentiment last month shouldn't derail the broader housing market recovery.
Continue Reading Below
Toll Brothers (NYSE:TOL) earlier on Wednesday said softer home prices weighed on its revenue last quarter, pushing sales below Wall Street's consensus despite stronger orders and closings.
Its shares fell more than 6% following the results and weighed on the entire industry. KB Home (NYSE:KBH) slumped 6%, while D.R. Horton (NYSE:DHI) and Hovnanian (NYSE:HOV) fell 4% and Beazer Homes' (NYSE:BZH) slid 5%.
The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) on Tuesday said its key measurement of homebuilder confidence declined in February from a six-and-a-half year high of in January, the first drop in 10 months.
The index was below Barclays (NYSE:BCS) and other expectations, though economists aren't ready to call an end to the nascent housing comeback.
"This is not a data point to choke over it, simply means that we have come out of the gate with a gain that needs (to be) tempered and possibly reset modestly lower in the near term," said Knight Capital's (NYSE:KCG) Peter Kenny.
Some of the concern is coming from broader economic worries like the sequestration as well as what he called "a flat lining economic landscape caught in the midst of an apparent stall."
Job cuts and unemployment remain major concerns and consumers are carefully monitoring Washington, where $85 billion in federal spending cuts are set to begin next month.
Barclay's analyst Cooper Howes said he does not see the February drop as evidence of a slowing housing recovery, while Gus Faucher, senior macroeconomist at PNC (NYSE:PNC), noted there's going to be month-to-month variation but expressed optimism that the overall trajectory of the recovery will continue to improve.
While the industry sell-off comes as many builders report a decline in traffic by prospective customers ahead of the critical spring season, the index, which took into account responses from 402 builders, comes amid strengthening housing demand, low interest rates and improving home prices in some markets.
Sales of new homes climbed 20% last year to 367,000, the highest level of sales in three years, and foreclosures on a national level have fallen sharply, despite continuing to rise in certain regions.
Consumer sentiment, meanwhile, continues to improve, rising to 76.3 in February above the consensus view of 74.8, according to the University of Michigan's preliminary index released on Friday. If the trend continues through the end of the month, it will mark the second consecutive monthly improvement after a sharp drop in December on fiscal cliff concerns.
At the same time, other housing indicators, including sales and prices, continue to look favorable and are expected to push higher over the next few months. Builders' outlook for sales over the next six months improved by a point to 50 in February.
Faucher said last month's sentiment decline could even be attributed to poor weather, which can weigh on housing demand and can be reflected in the index despite seasonal adjustments.
"I don't perceive any particular reason for concern," he said. "Housing demand continues to improve."
The NAHB index is still above its six-month average of 44 and stands 19 points higher than a year ago. All regional indices except in the South showed solid gains, particularly in the Northeast, with few changes in the Midwest and the West.

ATHENS, Ga. (Sept. 17, 2009) - After a successful opening tournament last weekend, the ETSU men's tennis team will try to defend former ETSU standout Enrique Olivares' 2008 singles title at the 42nd annual Southern Intercollegiate Championships in Athens, Ga.
The four-day event, at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex, features over 200 participants from 32 schools including notable ranked programs Duke, Florida, Georgia Tech, Middle Tennessee, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest and host Georgia.
The Southern Intercollegiate Championships, which first began in 1968, is the oldest collegiate fall tournament in America.
Individually, the field of participants is again tough, with 18 ITA ranked singles players, including No. 2 John-Patrick Smith of Tennessee, No. 4 Nate Schnugg of Georgia and No. 5 Guillemo Gomez of Georgia Tech.
Over in the doubles bracket, things shouldn't be any easier as the top-two tandem teams in the nation (No.1 Tennessee John-Patrick Smith/Davy Sandgren and No. 2 UGA Jamie Hunt/Nate Schnugg) headline four ITA top-25 squads in the Southern Intercollegiate lineup.
Overall, Georiga players have won three out of the last four singles crowns, with the expection of Olivares' victory last fall. During his thrilling run, Olivares stood atop of 16 ranked players and 179 participants, dropping only one set on his way to the title.
This season the Bucs are coming off a strong showing at their first fall tournament � the UVA Fall Classic � last weekend. Leading the way for ETSU was junior Charles Bottoni (Bois Guilaume, France) and freshman Jesus Bandres (Caracas, Venezuela).
Bottoni picked up back-to-back ranked wins over No. 74 Steven Forman of Wake Forest and No. 78 Mihai Nichifor of Columbia, while Bandres opened his collegiate career with victories over No. 103 Ivan Salec of Radford and Nichifor. In addition to earning a third-place finish in his singles bracket, the ETSU newcomer rolled to the Bracket B doubles title with teammate Sander Gille (Kuringen, Belguim).
Play is scheduled to begin at 8:00 a.m., Friday with Division I, II and III singles action. Attached above is both this weekends draws and schedule.

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsNews & Views
2015 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang Prototype Spotted
New Prototype Spied Entering Ford's SVT Facilities
Spy photos of the camouflaged 2015 Ford Mustang have been spreading across the web like wildfire over the past few months. The most recent photos show what could be the 2015 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350 or some sort of Cobra-badged Mustang model seen on the streets of Detroit entering Ford's SVT facilities.
This time around, it appears that the camouflage isn't as tight fitting as previous spy photos. It also looks like some new mesh panels have been added to cover up what looks like a hood scoop and fender vents behind the front wheels. This could mean that the vents hiding behind the mesh may actually be functional rather than purely cosmetic.
Another reason to believe that this could be the 2015 Shelby GT350 Mustang mule is the large cross-drilled rotors hiding behind the larger wheels wrapped with aggressive tires. Moving on to the rear and this prototype sports quad exhaust tips and according to the photographer, the exhaust "makes a fantastic rumble." The photographer was able to get a close-up of the prototype's steering wheel, which seems to feature a plethora of redundant buttons.
We still don't know what the powertrain options are for the new Ford Mustang since the Shelby GT500's supercharged 5.8L will not be an option for the new S550 platform. A few of the possibilities for the new Ford Mustang GT350 is a supercharged 5.0L V-8 or possibly a twin-turbo 5.0L V-8 that was displayed inside Ford's Cobra Jet at last year's SEMA show.
Check out the recent spy photos and share your thoughts!

Quality Product, Good Prices, Excellent Customer Support but need some improvements on the Delivery Process. The product arrived so far from the delivery date
Before you slam me for saying the tape is too short, I believe most tapes are too short. It shouldn't have to require an engineering feat to wrap a handlebar, and maybe even have a mere two inches EXTRA. The bar end plugs are horrible as well. Been riding for 35+ years and raced CAT2 for over 10 years. I can gut a bike down to the last bearing and rebuild it like new, yet these tapes still mystify me.... another two inches? I would pay extra.
this is the best tape I have ever used. strong, easily cleanable, long lasting. I wipe with citrus degreaser after every ride. last the entire season and more. BUY IT. I also use the fizik gel underneath for less stress on my hands.
The fizik performance tape is middle of the pack price wise but works great and has a nice feel, not too much padding. I love the way my bike looks when the new tape is put on. Why spend big bucks on tape when this product has a real "pro" feel.
It was shipped and received on time. It is the correct product and color.

Hi Everyone,
calculation of the above thing
var browserOuterheight;
var browserInnerHeight;
var browserWidth;
var yCordinate;
var xCordinate;
if (typeof (window.outerHeight) == 'number') {
browserOuterheight = window.outerHeight;
alert("browserOuterheight " + browserOuterheight)
browserInnerHeight = window.innerHeight;
alert("browserInnerHeight " + browserInnerHeight)
yCordinate = browserOuterheight - browserInnerHeight;
alert("yCordinate" + yCordinate);
xCordinate = 1
This one works perfectly for the following browser's GoogleChrome,Safari,Firefox with small problem on Firefox
Following is the problem
The window.outerheight and window.innerHeight returns different values ,
a)when the script is run locally on the same browser
b)when the script is run after publishing the page on the server and ran from the same browser.
This issues do not come for other browser except firefox.For other browser the outerheight and innerheight comes same, before and after the script is published on the server.
The firefox browser version used is : firfox 3.6.16
Os is Windows Xp
Best Regards,
Sagar Singh
Pardon my bewilderment, but why do you want to know/change/control the browser's (my browser's, if I could be your client) size.
Why do you need that? Moreover, what in fact you need to know? The size of the viewport? Or the browser's? Or the document's?

Regardless, I believe the main issue that led to this point was that Fate is a very skilled melee fighter who uses Mid. And regardless of how she matches up against Signum, that she is a highly skilled melee fighter cannot be argued.
However, that does not make Mid a better system than Belka for melee. Fate uses several workarounds to perform well in melee. She sacrifices armor for speed, and continues to sacrifice it even more for Sonic Form. She also uses an energy blade for almost every one of her weapon modes, rather than physically enhancing Bardiche in his... well... bardiche mode.
If I were to nitpick -and I will- I would also point out that if we ignore Rule of Cool for a moment, choosing a scythe over a bardiche shows that she kind of needs the energy blade, as otherwise the bardiche is a superior weapon.
And amidst all that, Fate still uses a truckload of ranged spells. Indeed, her arsenal of shooting spells vastly outnumbers her arsenal of melee spells.

So back for a second to the dimensional travel. Is not something that is separate by distance and I always find that weird on the Nanohaverse. They act not like other dimensions but more like other worlds connected thanks to the Dimensional Sea. Going to other dimensions should not require move in space but to break that barrier. So I guess this is a case of the author just using words he think sounded cool and not caring that much of what they actually mean.
By the way between Signum and Fate I believe Fate is stronger but lacks character to win anything against a friend so Signum takes advantage of that.

Again, that is just one perception of how dimensions work. Throughout various media there have been various implementations of dimensions. Some link them side by side with only a wall separating them, other have them be entire worlds floating in another form of space. Yet other media depict them as worlds within worlds, like the marble galaxies of MiB or the dungeons of Magi.
You use the first method, worlds separated only by a barrier. The Nanoha franchise uses the seconds, worlds separated by another dimension. A sort of "astral plane" if you are familiar with D&D.

I am not familiar with D&D but I get what you mean. Is just that with that logic this feels more like traveling in space than dimensions. And the spell Dimensional Transfer is not a teleportation spell as much as a bust speed travel or something like that. At least to me.

Well yes, in essence it would be similar to traveling through space. Indeed it is a form of space travel (but then if we get nitpicky all form of travel is technically space traveling- but I'm rambling). It's just dimensional space traveling. The difference is that no matter how fast your spaceships are, if you can't enter the dimensional sea, you could travel through your entire universe and never catch someone who has traveled to a different dimension.
But there are upsides to this system as well. For one, you don't have to worry about mirror dimensions and the mess that comes with those. Second, you introduce natural limitations like range and travel time which can create tension and allow you to attach an infrastructure to it. creating territory and border conflicts also becomes easier.
Lastly, it also covers up a ton of plotholes that would have come with "I can travel everywhere I want" dimensions.

But in a sense could be consider wrong calling this "dimensional travel" to be able to cross another dimension is to break the time-space line so, why should be distance or time be in to consideration there? I am just wondering here since I don't think is that bad, just that I think it doesn't really fit to the other theories about dimensions. Here we asume there is something between dimensions and that something is the Dimensional Sea.
That also makes me wonder how is to travel between dimensions with a spell? You just sit around in the air doing nothing while you travel?

Again, that is relying on only one theory of dimensions. And the scientific ones at that. Dimension traveling in Nanoha has always relied more on the fantasy side of the show.
As for dimensional travel... Similar to flying to a place, I assume.

Yes, and is why I say they just use the word "dimension" and the rest because sound cool. Really I am just saying is cool but a little odd when you take the other ideas behind it.
This actually reminds me a lot of the Thor and Asgard. The 9 Realms all connected thanks to a magic tree.

I always found "Dimensional sea" to be accurate enough. It's just like jumping into the ocean. Both the air above, and the water below, are both "spaces" and you can exist in either one. You simply need to cross the boundary. The physical rules differ between the two, which allows one to move faster in one than the other. Hence, why the rainbow-glowy area allows ships to travel faster and farther.

Binds can be done in the air against people who fly. This has been established often enough.

There's one more way to get health care coverage. It's called the health insurance marketplace (also known as exchanges). It gives you another way to compare and buy health insurance.
All plans in the marketplace are run by health insurance companies and offer a core set of benefits called "essential health benefits." These benefits include ER care, hospital stays, maternity and newborn care, prescription drugs and preventive care. You can choose from four levels of health care coverage: bronze, silver, gold and platinum.
Each level may have a few plans to choose from, with bronze having the lowest monthly premium but you pay more for your care. Platinum plans have the highest monthly premium, but you pay less when you get care.
Open enrollment for 2015 health care coverage begins November 15, 2014 and ends February 15, 2015. However, in order for your coverage to start on January 1, 2015 you need to enroll in a plan by December 15, 2014.
No. As of January 1, 2014, all health plans have to take you no matter what your health status, age or gender is. Some plans may have limits to care based on where you live.
Without health care coverage, you and your family risk paying a penalty and the possibility of paying a lot of money if you get sick or hurt.
Each state may look a little different. A state can:
People buying their own plans and small employers. States can have large companies with 100 or more workers in these plans starting in 2017.
If you qualified for a subsidy for your 2014 health care coverage, you still need to re-qualify to see if you are able to get a subsidy for your 2015 health care coverage.
No. You can still buy your health plan directly from an insurance company.
You can call a toll-free number, and someone can help you pick a plan and sign up.
*Keep in mind, if you're not eligible for a government-sponsored program, like Medicare or Medicaid, or other sources of minimum essential coverage, you may still qualify for financial support to lower your premium through a tax credit or subsidy if your income is between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty level.
A health insurance marketplace (also known as exchanges) is run by the state or federal government. Each health care company available at the marketplace offers their own set of plans which include a basic set of essential health benefits. Consumers and small businesses can compare plans side-by-side and pick the plan that works for them.
The marketplace is a new way to shop, compare and buy plans.
We can pick the plan that fits us best by choosing from four levels of coverage from different health care companies.
The bronze plan costs less, but when you get care you pay more. You pay more for the platinum plan, but it costs less when you get care.
Log in or use your Anthem ID card to make sure you find a doctor or hospital in your network, which will help keep your costs down.
Note: If you are a member with Medicaid or other state-sponsored programs, search with the prefix (first three values) of your identification number or search by selecting a plan/network.

If You Read Just One Article About The Patent Mess, Make It This One
from the infuriating dept
Although the three had never tried to build a working model before they were granted the patent, they now set out to create a business based on the idea. Elias made a prototype, albeit one that Medina would later admit "didn't work particularly well." He claimed to have visited "every big player" they could think of in the computer industry to see if they would like to license his patent and build a commercial version themselves. He also claimed that he had attempted to raise venture capital to create a company of his own. But no corporation or VC would put money into it. According to Medina, they were particularly annoyed when, during a meeting, an executive from IBM's Lotus division rudely dismissed the idea of paying to use the concept. "He acted as if these kinds of patents were somehow laughable," Lech says.Eventually Medina cut out the guy who actually came up with the idea of scanning documents, and set himself up as a patent troll. He sued over 100 companies -- and realized that as long as the "license" he asked for was cheaper than fighting him in court, everyone would pay up, and everyone did... except one company, Flagstar Bancorp. Levy goes through details of the seven years spent fighting the case, including two separate district court judges who absolutely slammed the lawsuit (one said the case had "indicia of extortion") and told Medina he had to pay up for filing such a ridiculous lawsuit (in between all that, the appeals court, ridiculously, disagreed and sent it back). Eventually the appeals court agreed with the lower court, and the Supreme Court refused to hear the case, but it was a massive waste of time and energy. Amazingly, the guy who demanded payment from all those companies (and got it from most), for doing absolutely nothing to actually help with the development of e-commerce, claims he's a "victim."
Mitchell Medina, who has sued more than 100 companies for infringing his patents, sees himself as a victim. "When Jobs and Wozniak or Hewlett and Packard start in a garage, they're heroes and captains of industry," he says. "If you apply for a patent first, you're a troll." Via email from Africa, he continues to attack the Flagstar decision, claiming that Martinez ignored key evidence and ruled incorrectly. (Medina felt it best not to talk by phone, because, as he put it, "I tend to speak my mind, and it would be unwise for me to do so without the self-censorship of writing.")Really, this is just touching the surface. Even if you're familiar with the Flagstar case (which we wrote about last year when the final CAFC ruling came down), reading Levy's detailed piece is worth it. The problem, of course, is that this kind of thing is happening over and over and over again -- nearly all of it taking money from productive purposes of building companies and products, and sending it to lawyers. It's a massive drain on the economy and it's about time we fixed it.
"We did nothing improper," he writes. "The judges in this case comported themselves like spectators in a Roman coliseum who wanted to see plenty of blood on the floor in the form of litigant's money before they considered the show worthy of their interest."

The squad-based play is so solid that it makes the less stellar solo play stand out. Controlling Baker literally is a hit-or-miss affair. His shots constantly stray from the targeting reticule and, even if you wait for the cross hairs to zero-in, he still misses a good chunk of the time. So, when you have missions where you're separated from your squad, you'll find them to be a frustrating affair. Sometimes Baker will get stuck between two pieces of cover and instead of breaking away, he'll just stay wedged, and you'll have to mash on the controller to get him mobile again. Speaking of cover, the rules for its destructibility are strange. Wood tables will shatter, but you can't shoot through a bed, and somehow a half-destroyed car will protect you from a massive tank round.
What keeps the squad-based play from making the game great is the mission structure. At first, it's fun clearing out a town of Nazis, destroying tanks and placing satchel charges on 88s (a form of heavy artillery), but the fact that nearly every level has these same objectives makes it a grind. When you realize these are the same things you've been doing in WWII games since the original Medal of Honor, it just further compounds their staleness. Multiplayer gets little mention, mainly because it's barely there to begin with. There's only one mode (Capture the Flag) and it's very run-of-the-mill. It feels more like a concession than a fleshed out mode, and it gives the impression that the markers wanted that multiplayer check mark on their box.
Gearbox has used the Unreal Engine 3 to good effect; the battlefields are massive and effects like fire ripping through buildings and rain soaking your troops really grab the eye. It's a shame the rest of the graphical package doesn't hold up. The framerate continually dips, never keeping a solid clip; texture draw-in is prevalent; and some areas just seem to be missing a basic level of detail. The level of care given to the voice acting is excellent, with the actors providing a solid performance, but, like the graphics, this package has its flaws; the score just won't stick with you.
Even with its narrative stumblings and graphical issues, Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway is a solid choice for those looking for a more cerebral approach to WWII shooters. Aspiration got the best of this title - it ultimately promises more than it delivers.

Even The Pope Is Worried About The State Of Intellectual Property
from the didn't-see-that-coming dept
On the part of rich countries there is excessive zeal for protecting knowledge through an unduly rigid assertion of the right to intellectual property, especially in the field of health careWhile there's plenty that I don't necessarily agree with, a lot of the talk certainly does appear to be pretty economically literate, suggesting that an overabundant focus on short term profits can do significant harm to long-term economic growth. He talks up the importance of increasing knowledge and research and better sharing the results of that research.
The impact of technology is a constant theme throughout the entire thing, with an entire section focused on technology towards the end, where he does worry that our fascination with technology its own sake often obscures the its overall impact. He talks about the responsible use of technology, but (and perhaps I'm reading too much into it) he doesn't appear to be condemning technological progress, but noting that for its gains to be sustainable, people do need to think about the wider impact. However, I certainly disagree with his assessment that technology for things like social communications can have a direct moral implication, as opposed to being "neutral."
It's a worthwhile (if long) read, no matter where you stand on these issues -- but the very fact that even the Pope is concerned about the excesses of intellectual property being used to harm economic and social development again suggests that this is a problem that is having a pretty wide impact.

Acute health problems caused by crystal methamphetamine use have spiked sharply across Victoria in recent years, but especially in regional areas, research shows.
Ambulance crews attended 198 per cent more call-outs to deal with acute health effects from the drug, also known as ice, in the 2012/13 financial year compared with the previous year.
In metropolitan Melbourne, acute ambulance call-outs rose by 88 per cent over the same period.
The figures were compiled by Ambulance Victoria and drug and alcohol treatment and research group Turning Point in the Trends in Alcohol and Drug-Related Ambulance Attendances in Victoria 2012/13 report, to be launched on Thursday.
Turning Point researcher Belinda Lloyd called for government, health agencies, community groups, law enforcement bodies, business and residents to work together solve the prevalence of ice across the state.
She said the figures only represented acute cases and did not address overall ice use.
"Certainly the evidence suggests that the level of use is increasing overall, but this increase in acute health harm is a cause for concern," she said.
"We need more information and we need to be more innovative in the way that we address those issues."
Acute health effects include mental health conditions such as anxiety, paranoia and psychosis; injuries caused by falls, motor vehicle accidents or violence; and physiological symptoms such as heart palpitations and shortness of breath.
Dr Lloyd said increased availability of ice, increased purity and changes in the way the drug is ingested could be factors in the spike in acute ambulance call-outs.
"Crystal methamphetamine has been available in larger cities and particularly in the inner suburbs, but now it is a lot more common in regional and remote areas," she said.
Dr Lloyd said the ice epidemic was prominent in those regions but affects the whole state.
The report found acute ambulance call-outs for cannabis and ecstasy had risen 51 per cent and 61 per cent respectively in 2012/12.
Over the same period, cannabis and ecstasy call-outs rose 58 per cent and 62 per cent respectively in regional Victoria.

Ore no Imouto - Light Novel & Manga Discussion Thread
Light Novel Cover
Manga Cover
Synopsis: Wikipedia
Current Manga Scanslations
DBR via Mangahelpers
Characters: (Pictures from Himatsubushi website)
Kousaka Kirino
The titular character of the series. 14 years old and works part time as a model, which is a no brainer considering how pretty she is described. I guess Tsundere is the best word to describe her, though her dere side is pretty much nonexistent at this point.
Kousaka Kyousuke
Main protagonist. If Kirino is the Haruhi, Kyousuke is the Kyon of the series. A bit more spineless than Kyon, but his occasional snide remarks in his head is priceless. So much so that the manga does not do it justice because it simply cannot depict all his thoughts. Since he has a real little sister, he just cannot comprehend all the otaku-stuff that has wish-fulfillment to 'loving' your little sister, which is half of the amusing stuff that goes on in the book.
Tamura Manami
The plain Jane osananajimi of Kyousuke in the same year. Very smart, yet a bit air-headed. If I have to say, her relationship with Kyousuke is very much akin to Misao/Tomo in Asura Cryin'; a little bit of teasing here and there from both sides, but its obvious from the get go that they're the best of friends.
General Opinion:
I actually liked the characters most about this series; I dunno, but I find them to be more 'real' than your typical anime/manga/light novel character. From Kirino's insecurities to Kyou vehemently against siscon tendencies to Manami's sincerity, it's just like you took these people from real life and just plopped them into the situation in the story (which to be fair, is really out there lol). Overall, a recommend read, especially the novel version.

Oh I had read this on MF just after it was put on, I spied the "imouto" in the title so thought I'd check it out for something fun to read, don't know why I thought fun but just did.
Anyway after seeing this thread I went back to refresh my memories and is quite a nice read, nothing great or totally awesome just very nice so far, if it keeps with that feeling I think it will become a real fav of mines.
Stories with that nice reading feel tend to be big hits with me.
Best bit of the 1st chapter is Kyou thinking about the suspects, I so loled at what he thought would be the most likely person, thats some real comedy gold that is

I have to say the light novel is so much fun to read... :P liked the first chapter a lot; liked the second one, too.
out of the three (?) characters so far presented, I think I've started to like childhood friend a lot more than the others. yeah, she is described as plain (even with her character design), but there's something about her, I don't know. maybe it's the way she talks, the way her conversations with the main character seem so entertaining and fun to read (like being called a granny). reminded me a bit of Aoba Tsugumi, :P
on the other hand, the two siblings are an interesting pair, I guess. one is clueless about her situation and the kind of games she plays; the other one is too aware of her sister, so to speak. it makes for some interesting conflict, I would say; but I'm having a bit of trouble to find anything to like about them.
@Bonta Kun
I wouldn't want Rie doing yet another tsundere kind of role. haven't we got enough of those?
on the other hand, Haruka Tomatsu would be the perfect choice for imouto. :P

He had the book sent to his other group leader in Toronto to be scanned, then then project started going underway when the original purchaser gave this RAW to DBR (coincide with end of school + holiday), and on and on so it took so long. Though they have the whole book scanned at least, just need editing and translations obviously.
Speaking of which, the 5th volume of the novel came out recently (like literally a couple days ago).

but hell yea for Haruka Tomatsu, that I would love to see
about the art style, I quite like it, its rather striking to me.
Kinda gives the same feel as Nyan Koi, somewhat simple yet detailed enough to be really good.
or maybe I just plainly love how Kirino looks

- Series Hub: Spurs-Heat
SAN ANTONIO — With Manu Ginobili's 24 points and 10 assists in the San Antonio Spurs' Game 5 win Sunday night over the Miami Heat, each member of each team's Big Three has now had a big moment.
In Game 5, LeBron James (8-for-22 from the floor), Dwyane Wade (10-for-22) and Chris Bosh (7-for-11) didn't shoot great, but they did combine for 66 points, 16 rebounds and 19 assists. Sounds like a winning formula just as the statistics of the Spurs' Tony Parker, Tim Duncan and surprise starter Ginobili do: 67 points, 15 rebounds and 16 assists.
With such even production, what was the difference in the Spurs' 114-104 win in Game 5?
The role players.
San Antonio's continue to come up big. Danny Green hit six more 3-pointers and scored 24 points. Kawhi Leonard went 6-for-8 from the floor for 16 points, plus eight rebounds and three steals. Boris Diaw used his girth to make James uncomfortable for much of the game.
With Ginobili in the starting lineup, the Spurs' first five all scored between 16 and 24 points. For Miami, Mike Miller and Mario Chalmers combined for seven points on 2-for-11 shooting.
RIGHT: Spurs coach Gregg Popovich's decision to insert the struggling Ginboili into the starting lineup paid tremendous dividends. Playing alongside Parker more often allowed Ginobili to play off the ball more with less defensive attention — and often with Miller on him — and he was aggressive with his drives. He knocked down his first two shots early in the first quarter and dished a couple of assists and confidence that had been so elusive rushed back. Ginobili finished with a season-high 24 points and 10 assists and the Spurs moved to 23-2 this season when Ginobili has at least six assists.
WRONG: One reason Popovich put Ginobili in the starting lineup is because Heat coach Erik Spoelstra changed up his starting lineup for Game 4, going for offense with a smaller lineup that included Mike Miller instead of rugged forward Udonis Haslem. Off the bench, Miller was on fire, canning 9-for-10 shots from the beyond the arc. In two games as a starter, Miller is a combined 0-for-2 from the field (both shots from 3-point range) for zero points in nearly 46 minutes.
RIGHT: A few days ago Danny Green said he's still waiting for someone to pinch him and wake him up. Yeah, well, the Spurs would like for that person to stay away for at least one more win. Green is on an historic hot streak and after he dropped another six 3-pointers in Game 5 on 10 attempts, he's 25-for-38 (65.8 percent) from beyond the arc. He surpassed Ray Allen with the most 3-point baskets ever in an NBA Finals — and it's only Game 5. He's hit four, five, seven, three and six 3s in the first five games. Remarkable.
WRONG: The Heat's defense on Green. As Parker said after Game 5, how in the world is Green open, ever, beyond the arc at this point in the series? Now, as Green said, he's not actually open every time, he's hitting contested 3s as well. The Spurs move the ball so well that it's impossible to contain Parker, Ginobili and Duncan and still protect the 3-point arc. If the Heat want to stay alive for a Game 7, they'll have to figure this out.
RIGHT: Dwyane Wade has really dialed back the clock. He had the huge 32-point, six-rebound, four-assist, six-steal Game 4 and followed it up with 25 points and 10 assists in Game 5.
WRONG: Have the tables turned for the Heat? Should we now be saying Wade can't do it alone? James had his struggles in Game 5, scoring 25 points on 8-for-22 shooting, which included a ghastly 2-for-11 in the second half and 1-for-5 in the fourth quarter with just one free throw attempt in 10:54.
RIGHT: Another example of Pop pushing the right button at the right time was his use of Boris Diaw in Game 5. Diaw logged nine and 11 minutes, respectively in Games 1 and 2 and didn't play at all in Game 3 before logging another 11 minutes in Game 4. In Game 5? Diaw played 27 minutes and much of that time was spent putting his weight on James, who finished 8-for-22 from the floor.
WRONG: Another example of the Heat getting nothing out of a role player is Chris "Birdman" Andersen — not that it's his fault. He's become a victim of Spoelstra's small-ball lineup. A significant contributor in the East finals against Indiana, Birdman didn't miss a shot until Game 7 of that series. He played the first three games of this series until Speolstra inserted Miller into the starting lineup and starting bringing Haslem off the bench. So not only have the Heat gotten no scoring out of Miller, they've kept their energy guy on the bench.
