Well, the reverse GJ-bu scenario would be like an Otome game, only with an extra-spineless, Super Beta Otome Protagonist. At which point, there'd be accusation that she's a chauvinistic portrayal of woman.
Spoiler for Otome Comparison:
More seriously speaking, I really think Harem leads should design their characters with a more Shojouish slant, by first taking an acceptably strong Otome or Shoujo lead (the kind that are in the vogue today) and then extracting those characterizations and adjusting it for a generic male. at which point, the male would stop being generic... and
Well, to be honest, do shows with Generic Male Protagonist actually become big hits? I'm getting the impression that there are many badly selling animes with very generic, passive male Protagonists, so I wonder whether the argument: Producers keep portraying such protagonist because they sell to the Otaku crowd is really all that valid, once you actually look at sales and popularity.

... I wonder if passive protagonists are actually created so we can feel like we want to become the more reliable bro of bros for them? At least I feel that way a lot towards a lot of MCs I've seen. (Might appear as a death flag for some series, but I defy them a lot. )
And yeah, I have a strong feeling of wanting to become Kyoro's bro for some odd reason.

GJ Bu 05 - Yes, Mao, There is a Santa Claus
Major props to the translators here. Managing to do an entire segment about first-person pronouns, something that the English language simply doesn't have in the same way Japan does, and to convey it without using translator's notes or the Japanese words themselves, takes a lot of skill. It let Shimono channel a slightly more hotblooded kind of voice, too.
What was Mao expecting to receive with a stocking of that size? An entire piano? Every time the subject of Santa is brought up in anime, he ends up being real or everyone's too old to stop believing, so the way it was handled for Mao was something I haven't seen all that often in anime. Covering Christmas and Valentine's in one episode was unexpected. But at the same time, sort of expected from the 4-koma LN format.
Kirara's ED reminds me of what happened with Mikoi Sasaki over in Milky Holmes. Their character voices are taciturn and quiet, barely above a whisper, but when it comes time to sing, they belt out in a way that it's hard to believe their singing voice and speaking voice are the same. (Kirara's VA is also one of the singers of the OP. Which, of all the OPs this season, probably has the biggest disconnect between lyrics and show.)
I'm liking the mini-mini story playing out at the end of all the episodes, too.
Next week: In a season full of notable anime little sisters, the sister roster gets bumped up +4.

Kyoro has a future in Hair styling; apparently girls love it when he do their hair.
The second skit with Mao forcing Kyoro to speak in a more manly, commanding tone towards the girls was surprisingly tamed (meaning no cruel tease) and in fact actually made him seem almost like a Vertebrate.
The kotatsu talk with Shion was pretty nice but it didn't really change much.
Mao apparently won some kind of lottery in this episode since she got to be carried by Kyoro bridal style, and has claimed his lap as her permanent kotatsu location.
Meido-san makes a return for Valentine's day! Or at least what little of it there is.... >_>
P.S - Oh yeah, new ED with Kirara, it's good but not as good as Shion's.

Your doctor and/or nurse will probably:
1. Check your child's weight and height, calculate body mass index (BMI), and plot the measurements on growth charts.
2. Give a screening (test) that helps with the early identification of developmental delays.
3. Ask questions, address concerns, and offer guidance about how your child is:
Eating. Don't be surprised if your toddler skips meals occasionally or loves something one day and won't touch it the next. Schedule three meals and two or three nutritious snacks a day. You're in charge of the menu, but let your child be in charge of how much of it he or she eats.
Peeing and pooping. Most toddlers are ready to begin potty training when they're between 2 and 3 years old. Signs that your child is ready to start potty training include:
Sleeping. Your child needs about 11 to 14 hours of sleep. This might still include one afternoon nap.
Developing. By 30 months, it's common for many toddlers to:
4. Do a physical exam with your child undressed while you are present. This will include an eye exam, listening to the heart and lungs, and paying attention to your toddler's coordination, use of language, and social skills.
5. Update immunizations. Immunizations can protect kids from serious childhood illnesses, so it's important that your child get them on time. Immunization schedules can vary from office to office, so talk to your doctor about what to expect.
Here are some things to keep in mind until your child's next checkup at 3 years:
These checkup sheets are consistent with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)/Bright Futures guidelines.

CNET drops a big bottle of killjoy juice on recent rumors that Apple might just be ready to rollout their fabled iTunes Replay service -- the ability to re-download and stream content to iOS and iTunes from the iCloud -- or a Netflix-like subscription service.
While Apple has music and now TV available for re-download, at least in the US, apparently they've only got agreements with 4 of the 6 big studios needed to add movies to the mix.
One reason is the HBO window. During specific periods of time--often referred to in the film industry as windows--HBO owns the exclusive electronic distribution rights of films from three of the six top films studios: 20th Century Fox, Universal, and Warner Bros. Any retailer that wishes to sell physical DVDs from these studios during HBO's window is totally unrestricted. But online retailers are legally prevented from delivering movie downloads from the three HBO-restricted studios during HBO's window and they also can't stream titles from those studios. This means that right now iTunes can't stream a movie to a customer during the HBO window that the customer may have purchased outside of the window.
Broadcast windows are also the reason movies and TV Shows sometimes disappear and reappear from iTunes, Netflix, etc. But the bottom line seems to be, at least for now, that iTunes movie re-downloading, streaming, and subscription services are still a long way off.

RAW & children
I am feeding Lola (5 months) RAW medallions but recently my 5 year old started suffering with severe abdominal cramps and looser stools. I have taken 2 samples to the lab, one for parasites and one for culture and sensitivity and am awaiting the results.
I make sure that everything is as hygienic as possible, ie I use antibacterial spray to clean the sides that I use, remove the bowl as soon as she finishes, and wash everything in hot soapy water.
THEN I realized, the dog will go and pick her toys up and my kids will get the toys and throw them for her, and so on and so on. I try to tell them to wash their hands after playing with her but they are 3 and 5..
understandably I have to put the health of my children first so what would you suggest as the next best thing? my husband suggested cooking it, yes it will loose a lot of its benefits but is that still better than canned?
thanks for your help
Mum to Autumn 5, Evie 3, both of the human variety
Taiji age 10, of the feline variety
Ziggy age 3, of the reptile variety
and Lola age 3 months, of the fluffy bichon poo variety
I would doubt the cramping and loose stools come from your dogs' medallions. It sounds like you are being vigilant with cleaning and, if you are using a good quality medallion, then parasites shouldn't be the issue.
Your daughter is five. Which means she is in school, yes? Which means she could be picking up things from the playground. Do you know how many people take their dogs for walks in the schoolyard never thinking about the kids playing there the next day? If there are sandboxes then I would think there are cats using the boxes as litter. In my area dogs have been banned from school yards. It doesn't stop people. They still take them there. It's a nice big open green area. And there isn't much to be done about strays using the boxes unless they are covered nightly.
Maybe your daughter has picked up a bit of a bug from one of her classmates.
Assumptions do nothing but make an ass out of u and me.
We can stick our heads in the sand for only so long before it starts choking us. Face it folks. The pet population is bad ALL OVER THE WORLD!
I fed raw to my rottie girl when my son was 3,4,5 years old - chicken backs drug out to the carpet to eat , shared with the cat, cleaned the boy's face and all sorts of other horrendous, non-sanitary behaviour going on there. The boy never got sick. If your child is ill, I think I would look at outside sources.
I too would be looking at outside sources. 5 year olds experience a lot of changes in the world around them, which can result in anxiety or nerves about going to school, extra-curricular activities, etc... which can lead to cramps and digestive issues whether or not there is a raw-fed dog around.
You may want to ask yourself how she is doing at school, whether she is processing new information about the world around her (expectations, friendships, fatigue coming up to the end of the school year, etc) that could lead to an inability to fully process what's happening (often inability to mentally or emotionally process go hand in hand with inability to physically and physiologically digest).
Another thing might be changing teeth or growth spurts. The teething process (even in older children) leads to a changed pH of the saliva, which can upset the tummy. Growth spurts can be physiologically exhausting, which can lead to incomplete digestion.
Either way, I wouldn't look at raw food for Lola as the first course of action.
I don't know much about children's health, but from your comments I wouldn't think that raw is at the root of the issue here and would be looking at other possibilities.
You sound as if you are doing everything right in regards to sanitation with the raw food, so I don't see any alarm bells there
Please keep us posted when you get results back!

"Many of the Earth's habitats, animals, plants, insects, and even micro-organisms that we know as rare may not be known at all by future generations. We have the capability, and the responsibility. We must act before it is too late." - Dalai Lama
We have 10 week old baby and we feed our dog RAW food.
We don't let Phoebe lick the baby right after eating, but other than that we take no more precautions than we normally would. Both the baby and the dog are extremely healthy. There is no danger to babies or children from feeding your dog RAW food. When dogs chew and gnaw on bones, they produce an antibacterial enzyme in their saliva. This keeps their mouth clean and their teeth healthy. That is a great benefit of feeding RAW.
Please consider that even if your dog never ate a stitch of raw food, your dog licks his own genitals, ( including other dog's genitals), the floor, the wall, roadkill, ikkies outside in the grass... all kinds of things that are far more likely to effect a child than any raw meat will.
Frankly, it's a good practice to NOT let your dog lick your child's face, raw or no raw.
I really seriously doubt that raw food has anything to do with your child's runny stools. Dogs are dogs are dogs and have spend most of the lives picking things up in their mouths that we never will to tell you the truth!
In fact, that your dog will stop eating carbohydrates will actually serve to reduce the bacteria growth in his mouth.

If you press the push pedal, the bin lid comes up allowing you, or possibly a friend to deposit something that you no longer wish to have, such as a wrapper, betting slip or possibly wedding ring for those difficult moments. I would say this bin is very well suited for the role of the bin in a room that needed a bin and I am pleased with how it is still continuing to this day to be a prized asset in my household bin collection. I would recommend that if you need a bin and you are considering this bin for the task at hand that you put this bin high on the list of bins I would like to purchase, this style of bin has served me well, I wish not to call it a bin no longer, but a friend. This bin is my friend.Veröffentlichungsdatum: 2011-09-01Rated 5 von 5 von D aus excellent as it is part of the value range, the thoughts of poor quality come to mind. but the quality is excellent, sturdy and well made its as good as more expensive bins in other stores, the chrome finish is high quality and it looks great in my bathroom. the inner part of the bin is a good quality plastic with a metal folding handle, very easy to remove from the bin and means when it needs emptied it will be done clean and hygenically, well worth viewingVeröffentlichungsdatum: 2010-02-18Rated 5 von 5 von Nikhil aus It's a Bin.

The beginnings of what could/should be an ongoing discussion in the troubling world of licensing photography; via iCommons.org:
by Paul Jacobson · Johannesburg Gauteng (South Africa)
by Garlyn from flickr.com
Brianna linked to a post on Black Star Rising titled "Why Photographers Hate Creative Commons" which raises a number of important issues and highlights a number of misconceptions about CC licenses.
At the risk of repeating much of what I posted the other day on the topic of the mainstream media and copyright, I thought I would repeat much of my comment on the Black Star Rising post here. The fact that these misconceptions are still out there means these are things that we need to discuss further and clarify.
Certainly not everyone will agree with my take on this debate but it does seem to me that the licenses themselves are pretty clear when it comes to what people can and can't legitimately do with them and use CC licensed content for. Because these sorts of misconceptions are shared by creative professionals it is important that we keep this debate alive.
First, an excerpt from Scott Baradell's post on Black Star Rising, "Why Photographers Hate Creative Commons" (20 December 2007):
Last week, Creative Commons turned five years old -- five years of phenomenal growth, thanks in no small part to advocates like the photo-sharing site Flickr.
Now, I don't want to piss on CC's birthday cake just for the fun of it. But it does seem clear that an increasing number of photographers -- not just professionals but high-end hobbyists also -- have become disenchanted with the Creative Commons system.
Why? Depending on who you ask, it's because:
1. It's taking money out of the pockets of working photographers;
2. It's putting money into the coffers of large corporations, whose executives like CC-enabled crowdsourcing even better than Third World child labor;
3. It's supposed to make sharing your work easier, but it often just makes it more confusing -- creating the kind of misunderstandings that lead to lawsuits.
Since the first two complaints are related, let's address them together. Creative Commons is a system that enables you to renounce some or all of your copyright protections -- in the name of sharing. This raises a question that doesn't get enough serious consideration: Who actually benefits from this?
Theoretically, we all do, since I can stick your Flickr photo on my blog and link back to you, and maybe this will cause more people to visit your Web site, and -- who knows -- maybe if you're a professional photographer, you'll get a paying gig or two out of it.
The fact is, though, that a Creative Commons license isn't necessary for this kind of sharing to happen. People are going to grab your photos anyway for their noncommercial use, because that's the common law of the Web today -- where "fair use" is interpreted very broadly. And if you really, really want to encourage people, you can put a note on your Web site explicitly giving people permission to use your photos, under whatever conditions you set forth. How hard is that? Why do you need a CC badge to say it? [read full post]
Thanks for your post on this topic. If anything your post highlights a number of misconceptions about Creative Commons licenses. CC licenses are licenses that operate within the framework of copyright and which were formulated by Creative Commons, a non-profit organisation. They are tools that have been made available for free for people who are looking for ways to make their content more readily available in ways that copyright doesn't permit in the absence of a license. There are 6 pretty flexible options which range from relatively restricted uses that prohibit commercial use and any adaptations of the original work (all CC licenses require attribution so there should always be an acknowledgement of the author of the work) to a pretty flexible license which just requires attribution.
The licenses are pretty clearly explained on the Creative Commons site and a properly licensed work should include a link back to the CC site and to an explanation of the license. Although it can be a little complication compared to the Commons Deed version, it is worthwhile reading the legal deeds of the licenses because they detail the terms of the licenses and what you can or can't do.
Like any content license (or even copyright itself), a big challenge is where people ignore the terms of the license or what they can or can't do under copyright and exploit content in ways that basically infringe the terms of the license and copyright. Bear in mind that when you license something using a CC license you are exercising your rights under copyright because you are allowing other people to make use of some of the bundle of rights that make up copyright. Except where you release something into the public domain, you are not giving away your rights to your work when you use a CC license. Rather you are allowing people to do some of the things copyright reserves just for you (for example, making copies, republishing a work, making money from the work and creating adaptations to name a few rights). When someone violates the terms of a license you ought to be able to take action under the terms of the license (which is really a contract between you and the person who uses your work under the license) and for copyright infringement.
I agree that CC licenses are not necessary. There are a number of options available to people who would like to license their content and these options include preparing your own consent/license if you feel up to the task or hiring a lawyer to prepare a custom made license for your work. CC licenses are free licenses that anyone can use and which have been prepared by lawyers. They are updated to cater for new issues or deal with existing issues better (the unported licences are at version 3.0) and do a pretty good job. Like any content license you really should take some time to familiarise yourself with the terms of the license, both as someone looking to use a CC license and as a person looking to use CC licensed work. That being said, CC licenses are easy to implement and free you up to focus on what you love, creating your content.
As professional photographers you may want to check out CC+ which is a supplemental protocol which was announced recently by Creative Commons. CC+ allows you to license your photos under a CC license that, say, permits non-commercial uses of your photos (so people could share your photos with their friends) and then also let people know how they can license your work commercially. By doing this you are creating more of an awareness of your work by letting your fans tell their friends about you and you are also establishing a framework for the commercial exploitation of your work on terms that work for you.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA -- A group of for-profit fitness clubs filed suit against the City of Charlottesville, VA, and Albemarle County (VA) yesterday, claiming the entities failed to follow state law during the bidding process for construction of a new pool.
The two governments awarded $3 million in public capital funds to the Piedmont Family YMCA for the pool's construction. The clubs claim the process was not opened to public bidding. The YMCA was not named as a party in the lawsuit.
The Charlottesville Area Fitness Club Owners' Association (CAFCOA), which formed specifically to file the lawsuit, includes ACAC Fitness and Wellness Centers, Gold's Gym and Total Performance Sports and Fitness.
"It is with great reluctance that we pursue legal action," the CAFCOA said in a statement. "We do not feel that constructing a large-scale fitness facility is the best use of taxpayer dollars. Given the current economic situation, we believe that appropriating $3 million…is a misuse of public funds—especially when other providers are in a position to offer solutions that cost less and can prevent destruction of a public park."
The Y plans to build a 77,000-square-foot fitness and aquatic center in the city's McIntire Park and entered into a 40-year ground lease with the City of Charlottesville for $1 per year.
Charlottesville published a legal advertisement to announce the bidding proposal in early October 2007, but stated only proposals submitted from nonprofit groups would be accepted, according to local media. At a public hearing to award the project, the Piedmont Family YMCA was the only bidder.
The city and county missed an opportunity to reach out to for-profit clubs, which could have provided the aquatic services cheaper, Greg Wells, CEO of ACAC, told reporters. The lawsuit calls for the opportunity to rebid services and suspension of construction.
"Hopefully, this will allow for for-profit companies to suggest alternatives to save the park, to save taxpayers $3 million and to prevent future liabilities," Wells said.

Lush flowerbeds overflowing with colorful blooms makes you want to snip a few stems and take them inside. But you may be reluctant to plunder your garden, afraid you'll leave bare spots. With a cutting garden, you can produce plenty of cuttable flowers without destroying the look and style of your garden.
Here's how to set up a cutting garden:
1. Choose a location. With a designated cutting bed, you can plant and cut without worry. Select an inconspicuous location -- along a garage or in a back corner of your yard -- and be sure your cutting bed benefits from lots of sun and rich, well-drained soil, just like your other beds. A cutting bed offers plenty of planting freedom. Its sole purpose is to produce flowers for you to cut, so don't worry about how it will look. You can mix and match colors, textures, heights, and varieties. Plant all your favorites.
2. Keep it simple. Make the bed simple to weed, feed, and cut by planting the flowers in rows. You might even make your cutting garden part of an existing vegetable or herb garden. The crop-style planting will blend right in, and your "production" gardens will be in one location. If you don't have gardening space to spare, spread cutting flowers throughout your existing beds; don't cluster them.
3. Mix and match. Plant a balanced mix of perennials and annuals. Your favorite perennials will come back year after year, while annuals will let you experiment. Both types make excellents cut flowers. The more colors, heights, and textures you grow, the more fun you can have creating indoor arrangements.
4. Don't limit yourself. Use flowering hedges, aromatic herbs, vines, and plants with interesting foliage to add pizzazz to your arrangements.
1. Stagger your planting of each flower variety so the blooms don't all appear and disappear at once.
2. To get the most blooms, water, feed, and deadhead flowers regularly.
3. Cut flowers in the early morning or evening, not in the heat of the day when they are stressed.
4. Use a sharp, clean tool to cut stems. Cleanliness is key to long-lived blooms. Dirty tools spread bacteria and rot cut stems more quickly. New flower cutting tools can make cutting easier. A razor-sharp blade makes a clean cut while a clip holds the stem; the cutter also has a thorn-stripping notch for roses.
5. Submerge newly-cut stems in a bucket of warm water mixed with a flower preservative to help prevent bacteria growth. Let the flowers rest in the bucket of water for one hour to rehydrate before arranging them.
6. Before arranging your bouquet, remove any foliage that will be covered by water.

April 19, 2005
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - For the second time this season, junior secondbaseman Wayne Duggan will enter a seven-day stretch as the reigning NEWMAC Player of the Week after copping the honor with a dominating effort against league-rival WPI.
Duggan was a monster on the mound and at the plate in leading MIT to a sweep over NEWMAC rival WPI. Pitching seven innings for the win in game two of a scheduled doubleheader, Duggan (4-0) allowed only two runs, while striking out a career-high nine batters. At the plate, he went 4-for-5 with a game-high four RBI.
In a 4-1 week for the Engineers, Duggan scored a run and delivered an RBI in every game. He finished with nine RBI for the week, while batting .571 (12-for-21).
A 2004 Second Team All-Conference selection, Duggan became the first MIT player since 2001 to elicit weekly honors from the NEWMAC earlier this season.

However, to justify its inclusion, I'm going to narrate a little story from my days in hospital pharmacy which I hope will amuse you.
In August of 1980, the acute care pavilion of the hospital at the University of British Columbia finally opened. The psychiatric and extended care pavilions had been opened some years earlier with separate small pharmacies, but with the acute care a new large centralized pharmacy opened and I began working there.
Everything was very new and one of our great pieces of equipment was a digital electronic weighing scale or balance which was unbelievably accurate and had a tare feature. This means that you put a container on the scale, hit the tare button which returned the value to zero and you added whatever it was you were weighing until the right weight was achieved. Well you young folk are wondering, what the heck? What's great about that? Weren't they always like that? Not at all. In 1980 this was very new to us and we loved it. We no longer had to fiddle about adding weights and taring the container in a tedious operation. Every time we weighed anything we raved on about how wonderful this scale was, so convenient, so easy to use, blah, blah, blah.
One night, about 6pm, the two people working the evening shift were approached by a young man telling them that he had been sent to take the scale in for service. Assuming that this had been arranged by the day staff, one of the pharmacists invited him into the secured area and belatedly she asked him for identification. Oh, he'd left it in his truck, he'd just take the balance and come right back with it. That's right, you've guessed it, never seen again. Of course that poor girl never heard the end of it, how she gave away the best piece of equipment in the whole pharmacy. The RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) were called in, she had to try to give an accurate description of this person, how tall was he, etc. In fact one of the results of this was that the RCMP came back and attached a paper tape measure to the door so that we could give a more accurate estimate of height for the next time. Can you believe it?
After all the moaning and bewailing about the loss of this gem by the staff, the Director of Pharmacy spent the $2500 required to replace it, thank heaven so all was well again.
Yes the story has a twist. About 18 months later, the balance was discovered in a drug bust by the RCMP. It had been stolen for use by drug traffickers, although how anyone knew we had one, we never knew. We didn't get it back right away because it was kept as evidence, but eventually it returned to its former home in our department, so we then had two of these wonderful pieces of equipment.
Nowadays these scales are much more reasonable and I have a quite high quality one in my kitchen which cost about $75, so I guess the drug traffickers just buy one at the kitchenware store as needed.
This is probably the one and only healthcare related tale you will ever find on this blog. I hope you enjoyed it.

... I ... Federal prosecutors about one of the biggest packing scheme ever ... one that dates back to two dozen five involves hundreds of millions of dollars ... here to discuss the case is Wall Street Journal cybersecurity reporter Danny Gawker joins us from sentences go ... all rights and ... there's a lot to the story so let's work their way through it ... first ... who were the hackers and having been caught ... so ... the hackers this fine then and there from the old Soviet bloc came in from Russia or Ukraine ... and two of them ... have been arrested and wine is ... an a in the U S C and is awaiting extradition ... the other three D R at large and if you keep in mind here is that if they're in Russia and is very un likely ... and that the US will be getting them back you can look at it in the current situation ... with Edward Snowden and I just is one example that ... guy is there any sense as to whether they could still be hacked and those that are possibly in Russia ... I mean that they are definitely possible I knew seen a few of QQ parsing the indictment in talking down some Source's ... formerly an in law enforcement ... you know it it's believed that these companies were alerted and in earshot these guys down by ... that doesn't mean there for sure our they had just moved on to other targets ... one of these hackers had infiltrated some of that somebody recognizable companies from ... Nasdaq to Penney's ... to even us at Dow Jones ... how that they do it ... a warrant is to keep in mind that all hacking is that you do if your business in you have various parts of your views on the internet ... they're all connected even if they are separate in your mind set him ... in the case of Heartland Island biggest payment ... processing companies in the country ... um the hackers are recently got into a public facing informational a website that and nothing to do with payment systems ... but in order you ... in getting through that they were able to leap frog across the network into the new very sensitive material and can collect a whole bunch of credit card numbers ... which they contend profit often sells or sell in bulk at which is very common especially with the Eastern European organized crime ... to how much they sell this information for ... I made very had actually had a funny thing and there were an American credit card number was worth ten dollars a Canadian one fifteen dollars in any European credit card numbers as much as fifty ... added the official strike down these ... hackers ... um they don't entirely of furry new line for some purposes they don't reveal all that and ... how TV guide these guys that ... usually breaches are discovered in two ways that few federal law to force me out one day you can have you know the FBI doing in domestic investigation ... and no Mendocino for example ...

Among the photos of many family members and friends - the majority of whom are not known to me, were three photo postcards that seemed out of place in this collection of images of family gatherings.

Used by Fred Brown
In Attempted Outbreak
Further research tells me that Fred Brown was a "notorious Omaha kidnapper" and that he and another prisoner of the Nebraska State Penitentiary in Lincoln, Roy Smith, attempted to break out of prison on September 28, 1925. Brown and a prison guard were killed. Smith and another guard were wounded. In earlier crimes, Brown's aliases were Gus Grimes and Ernest Bush.

On February 8, 2008, the Nebraska Supreme Court declared electrocution as "cruel and unusual punishment." On May 28, 2009, the state legislature adopted lethal injection as its method of execution.

Louisiana Makes It Illegal To Use Cash For Secondhand Sales
from the the-other-side-of-the-bitcoin dept
A secondhand dealer shall not enter into any cash transactions in payment for the purchase of junk or used or secondhand property. Payment shall be made in the form of check, electronic transfers, or money order issued to the seller of the junk or used or secondhand property and made payable to the name and address of the seller. All payments made by check, electronic transfers, or money order shall be reported separately in the daily reports required by R.S. 37:1866.I do wonder if that's even legal. Our cash clearly says that "This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private." While businesses may have the right to refuse cash, can a government outlaw the use of cash? That seems pretty extreme.
The state representative behind the bill, Rickey Hardy, seems to think it's no big deal, admitting that this is purely to make life easier for law enforcement in response to criminals who steal stuff and then sell it off:
"It's a mechanism to be used so the police department has something to go on and have a lead," explains Hardy.You can understand why law enforcement wants that, but just because law enforcement wants details of your private transactions, it doesn't mean you should be blocked from using cash. And people wonder why there was so much interest in Bitcoin (even if Bitcoin itself is rather flawed).

Red Clovers
When James Duke, Ph.D., an economic botanist, tosses red clover sprouts into salads, he isn't seeking simply to add flavor. Red clover (Trifolium pratense) contains genistein, an anticancer compound that prevents new blood vessels from forming with in a tumor. Red clover is one of the world's oldest and most common natural cancer remedies. In fact, one study found that 33 cultures use the herb against the disease. from "In Concert Against Cancer", by Willow Older
Celtic Sea Salt
is one of the gentlest alkaline forming substance known. The absence of sea salt in daily diet greatly hampers absorption of nutrients contained in grains and vegetables and leaves them unable to function as natural healing agents. Celtic Sea Salt is a living food, with its ionic and electrolytic properties profoundly anchored in its grounding crystals.
Irish Moss
contains "carrageen" - moss of the rocks, in Irish. This local name could also possibly be after a village found in SE Ireland where the seaweed grows in particular abundance. It contains high amounts of minerals which address all sorts ofissues from intestinal disorders to halitosis!

As the early morning sun peered through the drapes of the bedroom, a door opened and I was unceremoniously dragged from my cot. Bernice was wearing an expression of utmost disdain, and ordered me to get dressed and meet her outside. As she stormed from the bedroom, I looked over at Lex, who shook his head, smiled his roguish smile, and put on his jacket.
We descended the stairs into an empty parlor. I looked around for Bernice's aunt, hoping to deliver a genuine, heartfelt apology, but she was not there – there was not a single Monroe in sight. As I walked from the house, I imagined Bernice's relatives barricaded in a bedroom, vigorously quoting scripture and praying for their deliverance from evil. Despite my embarrassment, I chuckled.
I endured Bernice's sermon on the dangers of drink and debauchery as I drove into town. As a breakfast was not provided by the Monroes, I found a local diner on Main Street, and the three of us ate quietly. I wanted to go to Miskatonic University and meet with Dr. Henry Armitage. I had a hunch that he might have met Ivy Morgan through one of her associates. Bernice, though still not pleased, agreed that I was probably right. Lex sipped his coffee quietly, his eyes moving back and forth between Bernice and me.
Bernice led us through the campus towards Orne Library, a newer building that held over 400,000 books and pamphlets. The large, granite structure looked cold and austere, but once inside it proved bright and less dreary. I walked to the front desk, introduced myself, and asked to see Dr. Armitage. The assistant director was a pleasant man who showed us to chairs and asked us to wait. After nearly fifteen minutes, the assistant descended the stairs with an elderly gentleman, who walked over to our seats and greeted us politely.
As I suspected, Dr. Armitage had met Ivy Morgan. She had arrived at the library during the summer, in the Company of two gentlemen; one of which possessed a letter of introduction written by Rudolph Pearson. The man, whose name escaped Dr. Armitage, brought a strange idol with him that he had found on his farm. Professor Pearson had told the man that a tome within the restricted section of the Orne Library might shed light on the idol's origin.
Dr. Armitage showed the group to the restricted section, found the tome, answered some of their questions, and left. A number of hours later, Ms. Morgan came to Dr. Armitage to tell him that she and her associates were done reading the book. He did not see Ms. Morgan or her associates again.
All of the interviews I had conducted corroborated the information Ivy had written in her journal. But what she wrote in journal couldn't be real. To believe what Ivy wrote was to believe in madness. I continued to arrive at the same conclusion – Ivy suffered a trauma, probably when she watched Pete Manusco gunned down in front of her, and never fully recovered. She was delusional – she began to fraternize with people she would not normally associate with, and paid the ultimate price.
But then there was the farm. There was evidence to support that a wild creature or creatures were at the scene of the crime. Bernice verified this in the hours immediately following the murders. Could Thomas Parkhill be telling the truth? If so, why did he light the entire hilltop on fire?
I chewed over the facts of the case like a well-done steak. It helped keep my mind off the turbulence as we bounced through the air towards Buffalo. Bernice was sitting quietly, eyes closed, muttering something under her breath. When the plane touched down, Lex looked back at us with a wry smile, impressed that we had avoided being sick.
It was late afternoon when we arrived at the home of Irene LeMond, a little one-story on the outskirts of the city. I walked up to the door and knocked – an overdressed, heavily rouged woman in her late fifties opened the door and beckoned us to enter. Unlike the unimpressive outside of the home, the inside was crowded with expensive furniture and knick-knacks. Mrs. LeMond wore a hodgepodge of expensive jewelry that neither matched nor looked particularly good on her.
Irene left us in the parlor, and returned quickly with a tray of tea and cookies. As we ate, she told us about her son, Paul's, childhood. His father died when Paul was young, and Irene did her best to raise the boy. When he was seventeen, he suffered through a series of horrible nightmares, and was hospitalized with partial amnesia. It was during his stay at the hospital that Paul developed a friendship with Mr. Rodgers, a fellow patient. Mrs. LeMond confided that she felt Paul had changed during his stay at the hospital, and when he was released, he and Mr. Rodgers embarked upon a number of long, unexplained trips that kept Paul away from home for nearly eight years.
When Paul returned, he suffered another bout of amnesia, and was again hospitalized. After a brief stay in the institution, Paul was released from care and began to act normally again. However, he also began to show strange powers, most noticeably an ability to commune with spirits.
Paul's special ability caught the eye of a New York City talent agent, Herb Whitefield, who signed Paul to a management contract and moved him to the Big Apple. Irene had only seen Paul three times since he moved to the city. During his most recent visit, Paul brought his girlfriend, Velma Peters, along to meet his mother. Shortly after the visit, Paul went missing. Irene does not trust Paul's manager or Velma Peters, and fears they're conspiring to get rid of her son and collect on his insurance.
I agreed to take the case. As busy as I was with the Morgan investigation, it was nothing short of insanity to turn down two thousand dollars. As we were preparing to leave, Irene provided us with the address of Paul's apartment and Herb Whitefield's office in New York City. She also handed me a recent photo and the diary Paul kept as a teenager. I told Mrs. LeMond that I'd keep in touch, and walked out into the night with Bernice and Lex.

Channel 9 has just released a video where Dean discusses the exciting challenge of leading the Internet Explorer team. It's well worth watching this and all the other videos on Channel 9 which often give an understanding into the motivation behind the projects we undertake.
For those of you who aren't aware, Channel 9 was established by five guys at Microsoft to allow you to get an insight into Microsoft and as a forum for discussion. If you aren't a member then join up, it does require an email address but that is only ever used to confirm your identity. We also have a Wiki for Internet Explorer on Channel 9 which is a great place to leave feedback and suggestions and be sure that the team will see them.
Keep watching Channel 9 for more videos of Dean and the IE team as we continue to work on Internet Explorer and our plans for the future.

Howie and I met up over in Ontario wine country today and exchanged homemade wines as well as a few other specialties from our respective areas. We also visited Cave Spring Cellars and Flat Rock Cellars - this last one being most interesting and worthy of a visit by anyone touring our wine region. All the wines produced at Flat Rock are bottled under screwcap - everything, right from their Rieslings to their Chardonnays to their excellent Pinot Noirs. I'll have more to write about this winery in a future TN, as I bought a Riesling and Pinot there today. I believe that Flat Rock's Pinot is one of the best from Ontario that I have ever tried.
This evening I decided to open Howie's 2005 Cayuga. Cayuga is a grape that I have enjoyed for a long time, although it is a rare variety in Ontario. Only Scotch Block winery has a row of Cayuga at its Toccalino Vineyard, with some of it going into the regional blend known as Halton White.
Hart's Wine Cellars 2005 Cayuga White: Howie's 2005 Cayuga is made from grapes sourced from the Bruce Giles vineyard over in New York State. The wine is of a clear straw colour and has some pétillance after being poured. The nose is actually quite similar to that of Halton White: There's a crisp green-apple note and a tiny hint of pineapple, together with a very slight candied labrusca note - there is this sweet candied musky note in Cayuga, but it is very faint compared to Niagara, which pumps it out full-force. Cayuga has some labrusca in its parentage, but it's obviously very distant because you actually have to look for the labrusca notes in the wine. Pleasantly crisp and warm on the palate with a bit of residual sweetness (Howie mentioned how much, but I don't exactly recall - about 1.5 g/l rs, if I recall correctly). Lovely crispness and acidity on the palate. You all know me - I would have made such a wine dry, but I'm not complaining here - Howie's example is balanced and appealing.
At the wineries we visited, the vines have all been pruned and neatly tied down. No signs of budbreak just yet, though it is a lovely sight seeing the vineyards all ready for another vintage.

FALL RIVER – The state Department of Transportation has awarded a contract for up to $210 million for a rail project that is intended to link Boston with Fall River and New Bedford.
Gov. Deval Patrick a longtime backer of the project, hailed the move by the agency's board as "a game changer" in moving the $2.3 billion project from the planning to construction stage.
The 10-year contract, signed as a joint venture Vanasse Hangen Brustlin and HNTB Corp., funds $12 million in the first year to begin program management, partial design development, data collection, continued environmental permitting and public outreach. The remaining nearly $200 million will be awarded over the next decade in succeeding years, MassDOT officials reported after the directors' vote.
The award also shifts the South Coast Rail Project from MassDOT to the the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority, which operates that state's other commuter rail lines, including the three that serve the South Shore.
"This historic project will help create economic opportunity in communities along the rail corridor, opening up the area for the kind of growth we are seeing throughout the commonwealth," Patrick said of the planned commuter rail project from Boston's South Station to Fall River and New Bedford.
Richard Davey, MassDOT secretary and CEO, said this is an important step toward giving the region's residents "access to employment opportunities, recreation and an improved quality of life."
Fall River Mayor Will Flanagan said project studies show it will generate $500 million in new economic activity annually, while bringing 7,000 to 8,000 temporary construction jobs and boosting business output at least $1.4 billion.
Several state and local officials said the project would provide "regional equality" to the South Coast, an area that has lagged behind the rest of the state economically.
Most area legislators called the $210 million contract an "important step" to making commuter rail happen and to improving and transforming the region's economy.
It does not ensure future funding, which must be approved annually by the Legislature and the next governor to succeed Patrick next year. He's the fifth governor since William Weld to address South Coast Rail and among the strongest proponents.
South Coast Rail would provide commuter service from Fall River and New Bedford to Boston's South Station.

Vic Black is 25, throws a wicked fastball, and will open the season as the closer if Bobby Parnell isn't ready. Of course, he must do better with his control.
Black blew away Astros first baseman Jesus Guzman on three pitches to close the Houston sixth, but struggled with his command as he walked the bases loaded in the seventh. Black worked one inning and threw 34 pitches. In contrast, Zack Wheeler threw 40 pitches.
The Mets' outfield of Eric and Chris Young, and Curtis Granderson is out of the game.
Outfielder Brandon Nimmo hit a run-scoring single in the sixth, and the Mets lead, 5-2, in the seventh.

GREENCASTLE — Coming into the season, it was no secret that the Greencastle-Antrim varsity softball team boasted an offense capable of carrying the load.
For the second consecutive afternoon, it also became apparent that the Blue Devils have found a consistent combination of pitching and defense to complement their strength.
After rolling past Camp Hill 14-0 in five innings on Monday, G-A again overwhelmed its opponent in all phases 24 hours later, utilizing a balanced approach en route to a 13-0, run-rule shortened victory over visiting Gettysburg on Tuesday.
At the plate, the Blue Devils piled up 15 hits, scoring four runs in the first before erupting for nine in the third while receiving another stellar outing from freshman pitcher Elizabeth Ward.
Handling every inning but one since the season opener, Ward improved to 4-1 as G-A's starter, allowing just one hit and striking out six against the Warriors.
With senior ace Kelsey Brewbaker missing time due to injury, Ward has certainly risen to the occasion in the early stages of her varsity career.
"Elizabeth has really stepped up," G-A head coach Mark DeCarli said. "She keeps improving every time out and she seems to be getting stronger as we go along. I'm very proud of how she's performed."
The Blue Devils wasted little time seizing control, batting around the order in the bottom of the first to quickly establish a 4-0 lead.
Singles from Mary Ward and Whitley Mongan got the offense going followed by Erin Bontrager sending a two-run double to left, abruptly putting G-A on the board.
After a walk loaded the bases, RBI singles by Ashlynn Schaeffer and Elizabeth Ward pushed the advantage to four; a margin that stood until the home half of the third.
Base knocks by Schaeffer, Katie Gelsinger, Elizabeth Ward, Mary Ward and Casey German extended the lead to seven before back-to-back, two-run doubles from Mongan and Bontrager granted G-A an 11-0 advantage, still with just one out in the inning.
A single by Jen Patton ensued, setting up a two-RBI triple from Schaeffer, capping the Blue Devils' nine-hit, nine-run frame.
Now, with the 10-run rule in effect, Elizabeth Ward made short work of the Warriors in both the fourth and fifth, closing out the convincing Mid-Penn Colonial Division victory.
"We knew we would be able to hit the ball, so our pitching and defense was going to be the key," DeCarli said. "In the last two games, it has all started coming together."
Schaeffer finished the day a perfect 3-for-3 with three RBI to pace the offense followed by Bontrager's 2-for-3, four RBI performance. Mongan and Elizabeth Ward each contributed two hits and two RBI while Mary Ward ended with a pair of singles and two runs scored.
Michaela Ensminger also added a leadoff triple in the home half of the fourth with German and Patton both scoring twice in the lopsided triumph.
G-A (4-2, 2-1 MPC-Colonial) wraps up its busy week with a marquee divisional showdown against defending state champion Big Spring on Thursday. Game time is set for 4:15 p.m. in Newville.
