European Commission
Brussels, 4 October 2012
Commissioner Barnier welcomes final adoption of the Orphan Works Directive by the Council
"Today's adoption of the Orphan Works Directive is a significant achievement in our efforts to create a digital single market. It will enable easy online access for all citizens to our cultural heritage. The swift and successful outcome of the legislative process and the broad consensus reached both in the Council and the Parliament prove that by working together we can agree on measures to ensure that the EU copyright rules are fit for purpose in the digital age. Alongside other achievements such as the European Memorandum of Understanding to facilitate the mass digitisation of out-of-commerce books, this Directive is one more step in making licensing and online access to cultural content easier."
Orphan Works are works which are protected by copyright but whose creators cannot be identified or found. The new Directive on Orphan Works will provide Europe's libraries, archives, film heritage institutions, public broadcasters and other organisations acting in the public interest with the appropriate legal framework to provide on-line cross-border access to orphan works contained in their collections. The Directive is a central element of the Commission's strategy to create an enabling framework for the use of intellectual property announced in its intellectual property strategy adopted in May 2011 (see IP/11/630 and MEMO/12/743).
The Council's approval marks the final step in the legislative procedure. Further to the trilogue agreement last June (see MEMO/12/421), the Parliament had approved the directive by a very large majority at its September plenary session.
The Directive will formally enter into force in the coming weeks further to its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. Member States will have two years to transpose it into national law.

- Film by Mr Jakob Daschek
There's a change in the air in Montauk this time of year. As the well-heeled scenesters head back to New York City, a new crowd is only just arriving to this otherwise sleepy fishing village on the southeastern tip of Long Island.
"The end of summer and the start of fall is when the striped bass season is at its peak," says Mr Lee Meirowitz, a 30-year-old teacher and resident of Montauk. "They migrate south around this time, and it draws a lot of professional fishermen out here. The fish come in close to the shore in feeding frenzies - they're called 'blitzes'. In an area the size of a tennis court, there can be thousands."
Mr Meirowitz, who grew up on the north shore, owes his expertise to endless afternoons spent fishing on Long Island Sound, casting out into the surf for fish to cook and eat that evening. And when he wasn't doing that, the ex-professional surfer was heading down to Montauk in search of big waves. He still remembers one trip that he took with his father in 1996, to catch the swell of Hurricane Bertha: "To this day I still haven't seen surf that good. When my dad told me it was too big, I was furious! I sat on the cliff for two hours and watched him and his lifeguard buddies have the session of their lives." Despite his disappointment, it was only a matter of time before he was to follow in his father's footsteps, graduating to big waves and eventually becoming a lifeguard himself. Years after he first learnt to fish, it was his own lifeguard buddies that encouraged him to trade his rod for a spear gun and start hunting for his grub below the surface.
Now a permanent resident of Montauk - he moved here six years ago after meeting his wife - Mr Meirowitz has been able to watch as it has grown into a resort to match the Hamptons in popularity, whose designer boutiques and manicured privet hedgerows are only a stone's throw away. "This has made everyday things such as getting groceries and going out to dinner a little more difficult to do," he admits. But the "real" Montauk - the fishing community he knew as a boy - is still out there, he says, if you know where to find it.
Just don't ask him to tell you where it is.

- "Today, they suffered an hour and a half's droning on the subject of giant wars. Harry heard just enough within the first ten minutes to appreciate dimly that in another teacher's hands this subject might have been mildly interesting, but then his brain disengaged, and he spent the remaining hour and twenty minutes playing hangman on a corner of his parchment with Ron, while Hermione shot them filthy looks out of the corner of her eye."
- —Description[src]
The Giant Wars were wizarding bellicose conflicts that had historical significance,[2] having taken place in, or earlier to, the end of the nineteenth century.[1]
Giant Wars are part of the O.W.L.-level History of Magic curriculum at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.[2] During the 1995-1996 school year, this was a recurrent subject of Professor Cuthbert Binns's classes,[2][3] and the professor once set a foot-and-a-half-long essay about it.[2]

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, I thought it might be the perfect time to look into wallpapers that can subtly sexify the boudoir. While many of these work their magic on a subconscious level — much classier than a wall decal that says "Hey, Sexytime…" — it goes without saying that they are sorta Not Safe For Work.
Also unsafe for work? An image search for "erotic wallpaper". I had somewhat better results searching for "erotic wallpaper paper", but still, there are times when I'm relieved there's nobody around to notice my search history…
- Sarah Jane Palmer's Soixante Neuf (I'm sure even the non-French speakers can translate that one) wallpaper is available from Coco de Mer . It is handprinted in either red or black, and costs £160 for a 5m x 52cm sheet. She also created the Sixty-Niner wallpaper, which I got too shy to show you.
- Paper Voyeur's Erotic Art wallpaper is also available through Coco de Mer, in either Mercury Blue (shown), Lipstick, or Warm Black. It is £60 and measures 10.05 x 0.52 metres. Metres!
- Casa Sugar featured K-Lou's erotic toile wallpaper, full of naughty scenes.
- The "Erotic Chandelier Nude Naked Wallpaper" from Designer Wallcoverings lives up to its name, and I have at least two friends who would love this one. Unfortunately, you have to create an account in order to see the price.
- I'll end with one more wallpaper from Sarah Jane Palmer, this one featured on her Behance account. It certainly reflects her artist's statement, revealing her interest in "creating an essence of eroticism, humour and suspense".
Any other favorite sexy wallpapers? I tried to find a few more GLBT-friendly options, but only lucked out on a little L and B. Would you have erotic wallpaper in your home, maybe just on the wall behind your bed, or in the en suite bathroom — or do you find the whole thing to be too much?

GEICO Insurance's long history with EnduroCross started as a presenting sponsor in 2007, the first year the new sport became a multi-round series. Quickly, the GEICO team recognized the growth potential for the exciting indoor off-road race series and became title sponsor in 2008. The series has been known as the GEICO AMA EnduroCross ever since.
GEICO is an active partner in helping to expand EnduroCross, enabling the race series to visit more venues and cities. With GEICO's support, two new venues have been added to the 2014 EnduroCross schedule, taking the series from seven to nine rounds of intense racing action.
"AMA EnduroCross is a fast-paced, high energy sport that embraces the competitive racing spirit," said Ted Ward, GEICO vice president of marketing. "2014 marks the eighth year that GEICO has participated as a title sponsor, so we are excited to be a part of the EnduroCross Championship, which provides a great opportunity to connect with some very passionate race fans."
"EnduroCross would not be where it is today without the support of GEICO," said Lance Bryson, Director of Sales and Marketing for EnduroCross. "They have helped provide the support needed to add new venues over these past few years and we look forward not only to another great year in 2014, but our long term partnership".
Las Vegas will again host the opening round on Friday, May 2, during the Monster Energy Supercross finals weekend.

The New Year marks a major milestone for First National Realty Inc., as the Memphis-based residential real estate brokerage firm has plans to expand branch offices into 13 Walmart Supercenters in the Memphis metro area.
First National has partnered with WW Franchise LLC, a Phoenix-based real estate business that offers walk-in franchises in Walmart locations. The deal represents WW Franchise's entrance into the Tennessee market, after mostly focusing on the West Coast for seven years.
"Our stores are full-service super stores, meaning you can walk in, buy a house, rent a house, sell a house, get a home warranty, inquire about pest control – anything that's to do with the house that you can't particularly get at Walmart," said Elexis McCarthy, senior operations manager for WW Franchise. "This takes it to the next level that you can get really anything you need there at Walmart."
First National will have branch offices ranging from 400 to 700 square feet in Walmart Supercenters in the following areas: Collierville, Winchester/Hacks Cross, Whitehaven, Germantown/Trinity, U.S. 64/Wolfchase, Millington, Austin Peay/Covington Pike, Oakland/Fayette County, Senatobia, Horn Lake, Southaven, Olive Branch and West Memphis.
At least five of the 13 will be open by the second quarter of 2013.
McCarthy said 90 percent of Americans shop at Walmart, and the more people WW Franchise is in front of, the more people they can educate on the significance of homeownership. Clients don't purchase a home on impulse, but they are quick to inquire, she said.
"The demand is very high, we have thousands of people per month, per store, that need some type of information or education," McCarthy said. "It's a very hot topic at a really great time in the real estate industry with rates at the all-time low. Our agents are selling just about three times the national average."
Larry Mayall, principal with First National, called the expansion a potential game-changer for the firm he founded in 2005 that has grown to some 350 agents in its two Memphis-area offices.
First National is a virtual and paperless business with a "big box" approach to real estate, where agents retain 100 percent commission from their sales.
"I have felt for the last three or four years that at some point to impact potential clients and to impact consumers in a more direct way, that we needed to be where people are – commercial centers," Mayall said. "By virtue of this being the No. 1 retailer in the world, it's just a strong a potential. Then the fact that when people go to Walmart, they're going there to spend money, they're going there to transact business."
Mayall has been following WW Franchise's activity since 2007. He's also from Arkansas, where Walmart was founded, and has a son-and-law with a manufactured line that has sold directly to Walmart for years.
"He's studied the numbers on the Supercenters and everything," Mayall said. "On average across the country, they have 10,000 people are week plus/minus that go to their centers. Strategically, the locations are center to population demographics."
First National will have a broker and 10 to 15 agents assigned to each branch, which will be open seven days a week. Mayall said that puts First National at a level of accountability that it doesn't have in the way real estate is practiced now.
"Agents will have a direct link with the client, they'll have no ability to hide – we're there, we're touchable," he said. "These are offices, much like the banks that have locations (in Walmart), and we'll have desks in there. Plus, we will provide the resources for real estate transactions."
Mayall, a self-dubbed "intense observer of U.S. economy," said there are positive indicators that have been developing over the last year suggesting that the market is bottoming out. Most active real estate agents have experienced an uptick in their business, he said, and many agents who have retired their license are re-licensing and coming back in the business.
"I am inclined to think, based on the recent trends, that 2013 may be very similar to 2012, but we also could see some acceleration, depending on some other factors in the economy," Mayall said. "It's just a matter of strategically positioning ourselves to be able to leverage that."
First National will host a job fair in January to recruit new agents for its Walmart branch offices. Every agent that joins First National will get $2,400 worth of free resources to help them grow their business – products for assisting buyers' and sellers' listings alike.
Examples of those resources include one-click craigslist posting tools, YouTube videos for every listing and a 400-piece marketing department that's integrated with Internet Data Exchange, McCarthy said.

a Temporary Autonomous Zone in World of Warcraft
A few months ago, I approached my colleagues with the idea that we could do a perfomance on the platform World of Warcraft based on the theories of Hakim Bey the anarchistic writer who wrote about the courageous acts of art making and intervention without arrogance or ceremony. The text is a beautiful description of those who take the chance and create for the sheer thrill of being in it.
The ideas behind TAZ is to take charge and be in the moment. Coupled with the critical reflections about the romanticisms of neo-medievalism* inherent in the platform(more..)

CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) Washington State and Oregon State will likely recall the days of the old pass-happy Pac-10.
On one side there are the Cougars with new coach Mike Leach's trademark Air Raid attack. On the other are the No. 14 Beavers with sophomore quarterback Sean Mannion, who is throwing with confidence after a trying debut last season.
Mannion was named the Pac-12 player of the week after passing for a career-high 433 yards and three touchdowns, including the game-winner to Connor Hamlett with 1:17 left, in Oregon State's 38-35 victory at Arizona last weekend.
The week before Mannion threw for 379 yards - his previous career high - against UCLA.
``I think a year of getting to play for Sean was really, really good. There's nothing like playing for football players in the games, and that's especially true for a quarterback,'' Beavers coach Mike Riley said. ``The other thing about him is he really likes this game and works hard at it and spends a lot of time at it. He's truly a gym rat, he spent a lot of time studying film and studying what he had to do.''
Nationally, Oregon State's passing offense is ranked fourth with an average of nearly 363 yards per game. Mannion is ranked 10th with 350 yards in total offense per game, and eighth with an average of 27 completions per game.
Leach, who knows a thing or two about passing after leading the nation almost every year he was at Texas Tech, is well aware of the problems Mannion can pose.
``Obviously, you've got to play the pass,'' he told reporters this week. ``But on those broken plays when he gets loose, coverage has to hold up because he's got a real strong arm and sometimes when he gets loose, that stuff's way down field, and if you don't attend to it he can hurt you.''
Mannion has a pair of talented receivers to work with. Senior Markus Wheaton had 166 receiving yards and two touchdowns against Arizona.
Wheaton is averaging 134.3 receiving yards a game, just behind teammate and Pac-12 leader Brandin Cooks with 134.2 yards a game for the Beavers (3-0, 2-0 Pac-12). Cooks and Wheaton are ranked fifth and sixth nationally.
On the other side is Washington State sophomore quarterback Connor Halliday, who took over when senior Jeff Tuel injured his right knee earlier this season.
Halliday and Tuel are listed as ``or'' on Washington State's depth chart, meaning either one could get the start on Saturday, but Halliday has reportedly been getting most of the first-team snaps in practice.
Last week Halliday threw for 348 yards and a touchdown against No. 2 Oregon at CenturyLink Field in Seattle. But he also tossed a costly interception that the Ducks returned for a touchdown en route to a 51-26 victory.
Halliday has passed for over 300 yards in three straight games. Washington State (2-3, 0-2) is ranked third in the Pac-12 with an average of 333 passing yards per game as the Cougars adopt Leach's new scheme. Texas Tech led the nation in passing in six of Leach's 10 seasons there.
Halliday's go-to-guy is Marquess Wilson, who had 12 catches for 182 yards against the Ducks and became the Cougars' career leader with 2,893 receiving yards. He's averaging nearly 100 yards in receptions a game this season.
Oregon State's defense is allowing an average of only 83 yards rushing per game, ninth nationally. The Beavers are in the middle of the Pac-12 for overall defense, allowing opponents nearly 399 yards a game.
But they're allowing 315.7 yards passing - last in the Pac-12.
``I think when you're playing teams that are really good at throwing the ball, they're going to complete some passes. It's just a matter of you making some plays. We had way too many catch a long runs last week and that's what we've got to cut down,'' Riley said. ``Guys are going to complete balls. You've just got to make sure that's where they end up, is where they catch them, then you'll get a chance to make some plays.''
Washington State is struggling on defense. They've allowed opponents 20 touchdowns this season, second-worst in the league. They're giving up an average of 472 yards in total offense, 162 yards on the ground and 310 in the air.
The Beavers have won three straight to open a season for the first time since 2002. The three victories match the team's win total for all of last year when they went 3-9.
One of those wins last season was against Washington State. Mannion threw for 376 yards and four touchdowns to beat the Cougars 44-21 in Seattle.
``They're a good solid team,'' Leach said of this season's Beavers. ``They're a team that took their lumps last year, and it feels like this is their year, you know?''

Retail Multiple Personality Disorder Strikes at Walmart
Reader Jeff is confused. He wants to purchase a laptop from Walmart. Upon Perusing his website from home, he saw a nice Acer Netbook for under $300. Of course, upon walking into the store, he was confronted with a slightly higher price. Luckily, he talked to the nice customer service representative and quickly price matched the in store item to the online price and Jeff walked out a happy customer.
Nah, just kidding.
Seeing that Walmart stocked this model, went out to a B&M store, as I wanted to make sure that a laptop this size would suit my needs. I was met by a gruff sales clerk who was obviously unenthusiastic about the prospect of opening up a display case and getting the laptop out to sell to me. I did notice the instore price was $348, $50 more expensive than the online price. As we are walking over to the register, almost as an afterthought, I ask him, "You'll match what you sell ths for online, right?"
Him- "Absolutely not. We do not honor online prices."
Me (flummoxed) "Maybe I wasn't clear. I'm asking you to honor the price that your own website, walmart.com, lists for this exact product, not a competitors price."
Him- "Well in some cases we will match a competitors price, but not our own."
Me- "Wait, do you mean you'd want me to pay the final price with shipping that the website shows?"
Him- "No, we will not honor our website price. If you want to buy this, it will be the store price."
So, I haul off and walk out, along the way stopping by the front desk to confirm that indeed, this is not a rogue clerk, this is Walmart policy.
So, I went back home, found the model I wanted (that walmart sold) for the price Walmart offered, from a different online retailer.
This really ranks up there as one of the dumbest store policies I've heard of. I understand that stores sometimes have different prices online VS. in store, and part of that reason is the fact that in store requires a lot more fixed capital in location, services personell, etc.
Still, not only is this the first time since the inception of the internet that I have had a store refuse to honor its OWN price, Walmart's logic makes no sense to me.
Best Buy got into some trouble a while back for confusion between their in store prices and their online deals. Has anyone else run into problems like this? If so, how where they solved?

This week's games
A.C. Reynolds at Shelby
Burns at Hunter Huss
Crest at Ashbrook
Kings Mountain at East Gaston
What the Coaches Are Saying This Week
Matt Beam, Burns
�We�re playing a team that�s coming off a loss against Kings Mountain. I�m sure they�ll be excited to play. We know they have a really talented player in Kerrion Moore (suspended), but that�s not all they have. They have really talented athletes in spots.
�We hope we can take care of ourselves and not turn the ball over in key situations. If we can do that, we�ll be OK.
�I thought we played really, really well in a lot of spots. You give up a 99-yard touchdown on a flare pass that should be tackled by three or four people. You score and then you give up a kickoff return.
�I thought our blocking, both on the offensive line and at wide receiver, was outstanding. We�ve still got work to do there, but we really did a good job in those areas to give our quarterback time to pass and give our running backs more room to run.
�We need to tackle better. We didn�t tackle very well.�
Greg Lloyd, Kings Mountain
�We had so many new guys. I didn�t know how they�d react. They turned out to be gamers. They played really hard. The whole team did a great job, especially the second half.
�We�ve got a good mix of youth and experience. We�ve had some seniors step up too. When the game was on the line, the whole team made plays. They made plays late in the game that helped us win. Give the players credit. They did a great job.
�He�s (quarterback Brandon Bell) put in a lot of time over the summer to get ready for the season. He�s physically strong. His passing is improving each day. He handled the game atmosphere very well. We�re thankful he�s on our team.
�They (East Gaston) played pretty well last Friday against East Lincoln. I think they�re better than folks realize. They improved as the game went on. They�re multiple on offense. They run option. They run some power at you. They did a good job of slowing down East Lincoln in the third quarter. We�re not taking them lightly at all.�
Lance Ware, Shelby
�Offensively, we had a strong game all the way around. We just couldn�t get the ball back. They (Polk County) had a good game plan. We challenged our defense to come out and play better the second half, and they did that.
�Raekwon Washington had a big game. Jaquavis Brooks played well. R.J. George had a really solid night. He was 7-for-9, and the two incompletions were drops. We were pleased with how they played against a good Polk County team.
�Their (A.C. Reynolds�) overall team speed jumps out on film. They�ve got a great running back, Jave Jones. He�s a Division I kid. They�ve got a three-year starter at quarterback, Levi Ledford. They�re well-coached.
�On defense they stunt and come at you from all angles. We�ll have to be sound. They�ll probably get some big plays defensively, but hopefully we can counter that with some big plays offensively.
�Coach (Shane) Laws and I have been real good friends since college. Our families have been on vacations together.
�We hope for a good crowd. We�re definitely playing a top-notch team in A.C. Reynolds.�
Mark Barnes, Crest
�Most times you make your biggest improvement between Week 1 and Week 2, and you need to play a good team Week 1 to see where you are.�
�We thought as a whole that we didn�t play well the first half. We played better the second half. We made some first-game mistakes.
�The pace of the game is something we want to press, and we did a better job of that in the second half.�
�We�ve been a power team the past few years, and we didn�t do that as well Friday night.
�Playing a good team the first week, your preparation is heightened.
�We think it�s the perfect mixture for us (facing South Point�s running and Ashbrook�s passing), and we did some good things last week.
�Ashbrook�s a very talented team, they�re going to have a lot of great athletes. That�s a place we�ve struggled the last few years. We lost over there my first year, and we won in overtime last year.
�If we don�t see improvement this Friday night, we�ll be very, very disappointed. That�s been a point of emphasis is fixing some of the silly mistakes we made Friday night.
�We just like to play good people, especially non-conference wise.�

NaanStop (Downtown)
Trust us, do yourself a favor and get your hands on one of those samosas. It's Mom's recipe, it's about the size of a fist, and it took home the bronze at the LA Street Food Festival.We've heard tales of a land far, far away, where the food trucks roam freely, the street food flows like milk and honey, and the villagers are never without a tasty snack in sight. This land, known as Los Angeles, is where NaanStop got its start, puttering around town, filling Angelenos' bellies with its naan wraps, rice bowls and samosas. But the ATL is hard to leave behind. So, when Neal and his NaanStop crew got wistful for their hometown, they packed up the tandoor, hit the road and set up shop with a brick-and-mortar in the middle of Downtown, bringing their family recipes along with them.
Fast-forward to present day, and NaanStop has already cultivated quite the following of folks who dig a quick and easy way to get their Indian fix without skimping on authenticity. In Neal's own words, he wanted to give people a way to enjoy authentic Indian food without feeling overwhelmed by dish after dish on an unfamiliar menu. Thus, NaanStop's menu keeps it simple: choose either a rice bowl, a Naanwich wrap or a salad, and fill 'er up with an entree like chicken tikka masala, braised lamb or chola (simmered garbanzo beans). For maximum flavor, try one of the chutneys, which range from sweet (apple tamarind) to hot (coconut mint cilantro) to really hot (chili-cilantro). But please, don't stop there: do yourself a favor and get your hands on one of those samosas. It's Mom's recipe, it's about the size of your fist, and it took home the bronze at the LA Street Food Festival. Try it chaat style (topped with chutney and chola), and you'll soon be a [naan]believer like us.
Menu Highlights:
Samosa, $2.50
Chicken Tikka Masala, $5.99
Chola (Garbanzo Beans), $5.99
Paneer Tikka Masala, $6.99
Braised Lamb, $7.99

One girl's twistedly fantastic interpretation of what the hell is really going on in those tribes.

Stephanie: Always Wrong, Never Right
Stephanie Valencia describes herself as a brat who gets what she wants and says that even when she's wrong, she's right. Way to win over the fans Steph! One question though, if you get whatever you want, then what the hell are you doing waitressing at the age of 25? Something you might want to think about. Just sayin'.
Anyhow, Stephanie also thinks she'd be the love child of Parvati and Russell. Sorry chicky. The love child of Parvati and Russell is known as Belial and he's one of the four crown princes of Hell. I also think he haunted Ryan Buell on Paranormal State so don't say his name aloud or anything because you might get a sudden hankering to talk all douchey-like into a tape recorder.
Alright I'm sick of you already. Let's watch your tape and confirm my suspicions:
Yeah, she's a hot mess. Guarantee she's one of the first voted off. She should have applied for the Bad Girls Club instead.

Annoying. Will be a total disappointment and the second person to break down and cry when her best friend Natalie leaves the show 3 days in because she can't handle it.ReplyDelete
For someone who doesn't like being told what to do she sure picked an odd profession. Mind you, I suspect that she's only waitressing until someone notices her and casts her in a porn movie.

Five days without food and this girl will be a crying, crazy, even-more-annoying mess.ReplyDelete
If she's not gone right away, she'll float a long ways--because no one will feel threatened by her.

Team loses in morning and afternoon contests against Bakersfield and Arvin
The Taft Longhorns got off to a rough start to the second annual Taft Longhorns Triple Play Turkey Fest Tournament Saturday by losing two games in the 11U bracket.
Taft opened their tournament run in the morning with an 11-5 loss to the Bakersfield Outlaws.
A couple of hours later, Taft found themselves in a much tougher battle with Arvin pulling out a 6-5 victory in five innings.
After Arvin had made the first move with two runs in the second inning, Taft roared back with three in the last half of the third inning thanks in part to a pair of back-to-back doubles and a run scoring single. Arvin tied the score in the fourth but Reese Hammons gave Taft the lead back with a homerun to center.
However, Arvin caught fire with three runs in the fifth inning to get the advantage back.
Taft attempted to erase the deficit with a run in their final at bat but they were unable to get another run home.
The Longhorns compete in the second day of the tournament Sunday with two games.
Note: The 11U division is not the only division taking part in the tournament with several other divisions also competing.

[Game] Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru - Ep. 8 Twilight of the golden witch
Release date: 31st December 2010 (Comiket 79)
At last, the final Episode of Umineko no Naku Koro ni has been released.
This thread will serve as a place to discuss with everything related to this specific Episode, and the ending of the franchise.
As such, I strongly suggest you not to proceed if you do not want to be spoiled.
Also, due to the fact this will be the last episode of the franchise with no further information later on, the spoiler thread loses its meaning from this very basis.
-11 new tracks

Unless anyone here has actually finished the game, I wouldn't trust the spoilers I read on /jp/ or 2ch. Even disregarding that there's a fair chance they're complete fabrications (Lambdadelta is a cake by the way), at the very least they're completely taken out of context.

I will put emphasis on it again, but please stick to this thread purpose, as in: -discussion- regarding the said Episode (similar to before: opinions, possibly summary etc).
Pointing out elements that aren't understood/taken out of context aren't really a good idea (as already experimented with previous episodes).
And let's not turn this thread into a "can you translate this", otherwise it will be atrocious.

So I'm gonna start playing and translating shortly today. Just like my previous attempts on Ep5-8:
1. Combination personal skills, 2 dictionaries and machine translator (30-40-30). It's going to be rough as usual so it's not going to be literal.
2. These will be summaries as usual, not line by line translations. Subject to my own interpretations based on my translations, but as minimal as I possibly can.
3. In case someone asks me again, NO, this is not meant to be a replacement for the work Witch Hunt does. At the end of the day they will always do better work than me, so for the full experience, you're going to want their translation work.
4. Unlike the halfass job I did for Ep7 that I didn't finish due to to school, I'm going to finish this all the way to the choices. I promise.
Summaries begin later today. I am told this game is harder grammatically than previous games. Wish me luck!
Before anything: Chibi Ange Confirmed! I took the following screen myself.
Spoiler for Chibi Ange!:
Also apparently the is made such that it sort of combines all important details with the details of previous games. From my understanding, the mystery can be almost solved based on the details provided in Ep8 alone. I'm making a logic map right now when it's time to solve which I won't post due to heavy spoilers. If anyone wants a copy of the logic map, PM me when I finalize it.

Episode 8: Twilight of the Golden Witch
First summary. Takes the entirety of the introductory sequence up to the intro movie.
Spoiler for Summaries:
Short intro yes. Chibi Ange YES. From this point on it seems the episode plays out like previous games, only now we can finally know the truth.
Good god I'm so fucking psyched for this! Say goodbye 5h long exam grades!

To save everyone time, and to help people who can't read Japanese, this is the answers to those choices questions.
From what I see, the questions' order won't change and the correct choices will alway be the same.
Spoiler for Answers:
Tip: If you can't read Japanese, you can know that your answer is correct by looking at Ange's face expression. Also, you will get 1 coin if the answer is right.
P.S. I also can't read Japanese. I have used a lot of guess power especially those 5 choices question - -''

Once the target of vandals, This Chevelle has found it's soul once again.
It's one thing to yank a VTEC badge off an Integra or to steal a set of PIAAs off a Civic. However, like ruthlessly decapitating Buddha with a sledgehammer, it's another despicable act entirely to defile a '69 Chevelle SS 396. It makes even skeptics of the whole notion of fire and brimstone kind of wish for it, and scheme up ways to make the place even hotter. Well, the bad guys have eluded justice–at least for now–but the good news is that David Harless of Paso Robles, Calif., has rescued a vandalized Chevelle, and restored it to its former glory and beyond.
When David arrived on the scene back in April 2001, the crime scene was grim. There sat a '69 Chevelle in someone's backyard–without its big-block or trans. Ruffians had made off with its original 12-bolt, the interior was wasted, the front seats were gone, and various trim bits were stripped. The owner at the time received it as a gift from his grandparents, but neglected it for far too long. Finally, he did the right thing and sold it to someone who actually cared. Thank goodness. As is often the case, David's motivation for the project stemmed from early childhood recollections of a green Chevelle SS 396 his mother used to drive as a grocery-getter. Unfortunately, it got wrecked beyond repair one day, but its memory lived on.
Shortly thereafter, David invited his old man over to show off his new gem. "He just rolled his eyes and asked 'What are you going to do with that thing?'" says David. "When I told him we could work on it together, he rolled his eyes again, but I knew that deep inside he was really looking forward to it." Over the next few months, David got busy with work and the car sat once again. Then tragedy struck. "In June of that year my father passed away. It hit me pretty hard and put me in a depressed mood." Consequently, the project remained idle until his best friend, David Grogan, managed to get him psyched about turning wrenches. During the early phase of the project, the plan was to perform a simple restoration using repop or NOS parts, and then do some cruising and drag racing once the car was finished. As the end product reflects, that didn't last long. "As the project progressed, we ran across some g-Machines, and we were immediately hooked on the big brakes, wheels, and trick suspension," says David. "Now I wanted to road race the Chevelle and people thought I was crazy. We did our homework researching how to build a g-Machine, and the stock brakes, springs, shocks, and interior started coming off."
To bestow the lumbering giant with new-found agility, the Chevelle's underpinnings have been fully modernized. Afco coil springs teamed with 12-way-adjustable QA1 shocks suspend each corner. Additionally, adjustable spring cups allow further fine-tuning of the suspension. Up front, tubular upper control arms manage wheel movement, and a 1.25-inch sway bar keeps body roll in check. Toughening up the stance even more are taller spindles out of a '73 Monte Carlo, and stopping duties are handled by a set of PBR calipers squeezing 13-inch front and 12-inch rear rotors. A neat touch that allows manageable brake pedal pressure with a big cam is the Hydratech booster, which taps into the power steering system to provide assistance. Making it all stick to the asphalt is a set of Sumitomo tires–measuring 275/40 up front and 315/35 out back–mounted on 17×9.5-inch Centerline wheels.
When the time came to pick out a powerplant, David put sensibility aside, ignored what the SS 396 badge suggested, and plopped in a 454. It's a simple yet effective build that doesn't break the bank. In its guts are a SCAT crank, Eagle rods, Wiseco 10.0:1 compression pistons, and a mild camshaft by COMP. The top end features a set of pocket-ported Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum heads fed by an Edelbrock Air-Gap intake manifold and a Barry Grant Demon 750 carburetor. A Moroso oil pan and windage tray keep the lube from sloshing around, and an MSD billet distributor and 6A box ignite the air/fuel mixture. Backing up the mill is a 200-4R overdrive transmissions encasing a 2,200-stall converter. For those brutal escapades on the road course, there's a B&M transmission cooler. Twisting the power 90 degrees is a 12-bolt rear end with freeway-friendly 3.31:1 gears and a Posi.
So that we could attach some empirical data to that hardware, we strapped on our test equipment and headed to California Speedway. We weren't disappointed. The Chevelle sprinted down the quarter-mile in 13.16 seconds at an impressive 111.55 mph, despite the super-tall ring-and-pinion and rock-hard Sumitomos. With more gear and drag-oriented tires, that's more than enough power to easily run mid- to bottom-12s. The halt from 60 mph required 134.1 feet of real estate, and the car pulled .85g of lateral acceleration on the skidpad. On our demanding 420-foot slalom, which is particularly challenging for a heavy long-wheelbase chassis, the Chevelle wriggled through the cones at a very respectable 42.7 mph. With performance on par with a late-model GTO, this Chevelle is no charlatan. It's the real deal. Instrumented testing aside, David also beats on the car at Buttonwillow Raceway.
Inside, there's comfort to go along with that brute performance. Overall, the motif is stock, but with enough modern touches to bring it out of the Mesozoic Era. The stock rear bench remains, but front occupants sit in Procar Rally bucket seats. The driver faces a LeCarra steering wheel, and a full slew of Auto Meter Pro Comp gauges that relay reports on the oil pressure, voltage, and water and coolant temperature. Furthermore, a Panasonic stereo plays the tunes, and a Painless wiring system keeps electrical gremlins at bay.
Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the car is that it was built on a budget of just $20,000. David is quick to credit his friend David Grogan (we'll refer to him as Grogan to avoid confusion) for spearheading the project and delegating the countless duties required to get the job done. "He did most of the work, and we shuttled the car back and forth between his garage and mine over the course of the buildup," says David. Grogan also built the motor and did all the paint and body work. What a good guy. And about that paint–David spotted the retina-searing Sunburst Orange at a Pontiac dealership on a Grand Prix. Both Daves painted the car together inside a barn. Apparently, inspiration can come from rather uninspiring subjects.
Overall, David is quite pleased with what he's been able to accomplish with his Chevelle. If not for his efforts, social miscreants would have probably reduced a legendary American icon down to a bare skeleton by now. His only regret is having waited a few years too long to get started. "The car turned out great and was a wonderful experience with a lot of late nights and head scratching," says David. "I wish my dad was here to see it." Although we never knew the guy, we have a hunch that he would be proud.

Nearly half of parents in the South East don't put parental controls on devices like smartphones their child uses, according to a study.
Research by credit expert Equifax suggests that 43 per cent of parents in the South East of England with a child aged between eight and 18 years old don't use parental controls on devices that their child uses, such as smartphones or tablets. This compares to the UK average of 41 per cent.
The study aims to highlight the risks children face online ahead of Safer Internet Day on Tuesday.
Indeed over a quarter of parents (27 per cent) in the South East with a child aged eight to 11 years old admit to not applying parental controls to devices their child uses.
Parents may not always be aware of what their child is doing and who they are talking to online if they are able to use the internet in their bedroom, the company says.
The research also identified that more children in the South East are able to access the internet in their bedroom than the national average. 30 per cent of children in the South East admitted to doing this, compared to a UK average of 24 per cent. And of those, 15 per cent were aged just eight years old.
More than a quarter of eight to 11 year olds in the South East admitted to having a Facebook account, even though it has a minimum age requirement of 13. A further 19 per cent said they have a Snapchat account, followed by 16 per cent on Instagram, with four per cent on Twitter.
Supporting Safer Internet Day, Equifax is urging parents to focus on their children's online activity and to understand how to protect them.
Lisa Hardstaff, credit information expert at Equifax, said: "The internet is a rich and amazing resource, which allows children to connect, research for school projects and be creative, but it's important that parents apply the right controls to protect their children from the potential risks.
"Children are so tech savvy today that it's easy for parents to feel confident leaving them to it; however, kids and even young people still need advice and protection.
"The risks include seeing inappropriate content, being victims of bullying or even grooming. It appears that 27 per cent of parents in the South East have witnessed or seen in the browser history that their child has accessed a website that is age-inappropriate.
"Safer Internet Day highlights the issues and offers parents and young people advice on everything from privacy settings to cyberbullying and sexting, which is vital to ensure kids can enjoy the internet and stay safe."
According the Equifax, the main rules to tell children to help protect them online are:
- Always use privacy settings
- When creating your password reset questions and answers, keep in mind how easy it might be to guess the answer – is the information readily available or easy to research? If so, it may be safer to choose a more difficult question
- Use different passwords for each account
- Avoid keeping your passwords written down and never store them on your web browser
- Never share passwords and PINs with anyone
- Think before you share a photo
- Never give your information to someone you don't know in the real world
- Don't forget to download and install anti-virus and online security software which helps to protect your computer from outside attacks, such as malware and viruses that could try to steal information off your computer
- If anyone on the internet makes you feel uncomfortable you must talk to your parents

Drink of the Week: The Bacardi Cocktail
In many respects, I'm still just finding my way around the world of cocktails but one thing is now clear to me: you can't really separate mixology and marketing. As with so many drinks, the precise history of our Labor Day weekend selection, the Bacardi cocktail, remains pretty much a complete mystery, but clearly the manufacturers and promoters of the best known brand of rum must have had some connection to the formulation of this simple and surprisingly delightful concoction, a pretty basic variation on the booze, tart citrus juice, and sweetener formulation of so many fine drinks.
The Bacardi cocktail is nevertheless a special case in the annals of alcohol marketing. In 1936, just three years after the repeal of prohibition, a lawsuit was brought and the New York Supreme Court actually ruled that this drink must be made with Bacardi rum or it's not a Bacardi cocktail.
The Bacardi Cocktail
1 1/2 ounces of Bacardi light rum (use another brand at your own legal peril!!)
1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon grenadine.
Maraschino cherry (extremely optional garnish)
Combine rum, lime juice, and grenadine in a cocktail shaker with lots of ice. Shake vigorously, and pour into our old friend, the chilled martini/cocktail glass. Do not be alarmed if the color is a bit more pinkish and cloudy than the picture above. It's possible the photographer preferred his Bacardis stirred, not shaken. Regardless, throw in a chemically preserved cherry, if you like, and toast the New York State bar (sorry).
Apparently back during the prohibition era, some cocktail classicists insisted that a "real" Bacardi Cocktail was made with sugar or simple syrup and not grenadine. I have no real argument with that except that, if you do that, then you basically have our last DOTW, the Daiquiri. I will say that I strongly recommend sticking to these proportions. A little bit of grenadine, it seems, goes a long way. I tried indulging my sweet tooth by using an entire teaspoon of grenadine per 1.5 ounces of rum, and the result was not at all pleasing. Even such a seemingly still small amount of the very sweet syrup created an unpleasantly saccharine drink. Some prefer to use a very small amount of sugar or simple syrup and just a tiny dash of grenadine for color. That might work as well.
Have a good holiday, everyone. Also, be safe on the roads. There are still some people out there who think they can imbibe whatever they like and get behind the wheel. Don't be one of them.

Family of Russian boxer injured in NY plans suit
NEW YORK (AP) — The family of a Russian boxer who was critically injured during a Madison Square Garden fight has filed court papers preparing to sue.
Magomed Abdusalamov (mah-GOH'-med ahb-duh-sah-LAH'-moff) lost a heavyweight fight against Mike Perez on Nov. 2. Hours later, he was in a coma.
His wife names New York state, the state Athletic Commission and the state Boxing Commission. They did not return calls for comment Saturday.
The boxer's wife, Bakanay (BAH'-kah-hay) Abdusalamov, says officials failed to stop a match during which her 32-year-old husband was repeatedly "beaten, bludgeoned, punched and pummeled." He suffered a broken jaw, hand and nose.
The Court of Claims notice also states that "improper, untimely and inadequate medical care" contributed to his condition.
Doctors say the father of three may never walk or talk again.

Aidan Koch, a comics writer and illustrator who's previously been featured on Beautiful/Decay, has started a new blog entitled Field Studies to help fund an extended period of traveling. Koch, who hails from Portland, Oregon, is drawing intriguing sights she encounters during her travels – often depicting local flora, or a recurring pup named Edie – and selling each original piece for $20 through PayPal. The payments go back into Koch's travels, thus generating even more field studies.
The studies themselves manage to come off as both timeless observations and, with the focus on plants, for instance, articulations of the zeitgeist. They are austere without being restrained and composed without being constrained. Most usefully, they serve as visual inlets to her larger body of artwork. For those not already familiar with Koch's comics and styles of drawing, a good place to start is her comic book The Whale published by Gaze Books.
As part of her season of traveling, Koch will be the artist-in-residence at Skylab Gallery in Columbus, Ohio, during the month of June. As there is a lot of America in-between Portland and Columbus, I suggest checking out Koch's drawings that are after the jump, then finding one that suits your daily décor needs on her site.

|Trappings of Yingpan Man. 3rd – 4th century by cybertoad, on Flickr.
Posted here with permission.
There are some amazing photographers that wander the halls of HMNS, and when we're lucky, they share what they capture in our HMNS Flickr pool. This month, we're re-starting a series where we'll share one of these photos on the blog each month.
Elaine (cybertoad on Flickr) took this photo during a Flickr meetup in our current Secrets of the Silk Road exhibition. From the photographer:
The Beauty of Xioahe may have been the exhibit's celebrity but the Yingpan Man still captured me. His simple funerary mask with the delicately painted eyebrows and the gold leaf evoke a sense of elegance and peace that I hope he carried with him into the after life.
Inspired? Most of the Museum's galleries are open for photography, and we'd love for you to share your shots with us on Flickr, Facebook or Twitter. Check out the HMNS photo policy for guidelines.
Photography is prohibited in this exhibition during general hours. If you'd like to join one of our Flickr meetups, check out our Flickr group Discussions page for updates on upcoming events.
Want to see Yingpan Man for yourself? Secrets of the Silk Road is only on display for a few more weeks!
