Was gonna wait until I had more information, but at least one actor has spoken up about trying out for Xros Wars dubbed.
The dub is being done at Studiopolis. It's in the midst of casting, and the WWP pilot stuff has been tossed out (as was always the assumption.)
Rising Sun Tokusatsu noticed Ben Diskin mentioning he tried out for it.
Based on info from Diskin, it appears the names are being changed for the dub, but not the names WWP used. Taiki's name is similiar (off by one consonant apparently.) According to Diskin the term will still be DigiXros (although based on the way this stuff is done, that may be an early script.)
As for who has licensed it... that information is to come later.
Edit- Due to a few things being said less than privately...I can go ahead and say who the company is now... Saban Brands.
The first dubbed season will be 30 episodes.
Saban's longtime composer Noam Kaniel will be composing music for the series.
Edit 2- Saban Brands has confirmed they have it and it will be dubbed under the title Digimon Fusion, they've also confirmed they have the old seasons.
Edit 3- Here is the logo (thanks to BSCKids) Love that classic font...
(Click for larger)
Edit 4- Marvista put up their marketing trailer for the series
Fusion Marketing Trailer
The marketing trailer confirms a few details including Taiki's name being changed to Mikey, the term will be kept as DigiXros, and a few inter-spliced clips of Hunters seems to confirm they have that also. Try and guess the cast in the trailer... -- godofchaos

Via a press release Wemade has announced that they have yet another Digimon MMO coming out by the end of December: Digimon Masters.
This is the Savers/Data Squad based MMO that Digitalic released in Korea a year ago, so we are getting this one quite a bit more up to date than we did Digimon Battle.
What, if anything this means for Digimon Battle, which only came out in the USA nearly half a year ago is currently unknown.
Here's a screenshot from the Korean version.
Looks far more enjoyable than Digimon Battle to me to be honest.
It appears an official Facebook for the game with more screenshots (also from the Korean version) has already been opened. Digimon Masters Facebook [edit- wrong url was up before] -- godofchaos Source: (Press Release)

Based on a new listing at Right Stuf Data Squad may switch to five episode singles.
The second boxset was scheduled to come out about a month from now and had been solicited for awhile.
The new soliciation is for a week after the original release, but rather than a volume/collection name it has a title after the episode "Wild Boy of the Digital World."
The list price is the same (although Well Go's prior Digimon box was easily findable for under $20 by quite a bit) but instead the time listed seems to suggest five episodes.
It's worth noting that so far the second quarter series collection hasn't been canceled yet.
No doubt we will hear more of this as we get closer to the scheduled release dates. -- godofchaos Source: Wild Boy of the Digital World Product Listing (RightStuf)

This had actually been discovered earlier this year, but it was decided best to hold off on posting news of it until we knew what may or may not be going on with a new series.
Earlier this year Toei signed a new licensing agent for Digimon in North America, but it also includes the seasons licensed prior by Saban/Disney. This suggests that Disney no longer holds the merchandising rights for those four series, and may not hold any rights for them anymore at all.
With the new series largely confirmed it suggests we may get this new series sooner rather than later with Toei seemingly starting the product licensing process far earlier than they did with Savers/Data Squad in the USA.
Perhaps the biggest shock is that it appears Toei Japan is dealing with the licensing agent directly, leaving Toei USA out of the process entirely, which may or may not suggest any number of things. -- godofchaos Source: Firefly tapped for Digimon licensing effort (Playthings)

Well damn, talk about surprised here. The UK no longer is being shafted when it comes to Digimon. As of today, we have Digimon Data Squad.
It's on Kix (Sky 627, Freesat 606) at 7am, 1pm and 4pm. The episode appears to repeat at these times daily. -- Vande Source: WtW Forum Thread (megagold5)

Thanks to jp for confirming information that I got a week or so ago (I had been looking, but no dice.)
Digimon History 1999-2006 All The Best will be a 2 disk 'best of' for the period between Adventure starting and Savers ending. It'll contain all the intros, outros, and insert songs from well... the time period in the title of the album.
It'll be 3400 yen and come out on January 1st, 2010 (and yes, from looking around, that appears to be the real date, and not a stand in.) NECA-30257 is the catalog number so everyone can track it down at their favorite online stores.
Once there's more info it'll be posted.
A nice way for Digimon fans to start off the year, hopefully it won't be the only thing we get. -- godofchaos Source: Digimon History 1999-2006 All The Best Product Listing (cdJapan)

A Poppy Full of Laughter
A few days ago I was having a hard day. In all honesty, I have a lot of hard days....This day though, I was driving my kids to various schools and I started to cry. I grabbed my phone and started dialing the one person I knew would provide what I needed...laughter. Laughter is a cure. Deep, genuine laughter penetrates every part of you. It liberates you from that which binds (so does deep tears)...On this day, I wanted to laugh. I dialed my sister. It is no longer her number. She died a few years ago. No matter what was going on between us or in our lives..we made each other laugh. All she had to do was talk in her witch voice about poppies (Wizard of Oz)..and I would laugh no matter how angry I was that she had just given me a swirly. She was the only one I could laugh and cry with about the same things. We hated eachother as much as we loved eachother. On this day though...I only missed her. Love. Hate. It didn't matter. I just wanted Kym. I came home and started sharing with Adam how I felt. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a right orange flower. It was a poppy. We bought this house a year before she died. The next year I saw a single poppy. Last week, looking out my window...missing my sister, needing a laugh..I saw 4 poppies and 3 waiting to bloom. I told my man..I needed a moment. I sat down beside the poppies. 4 poppies blooming. 4 years since she died. I looked at them. I started to talk to them. I laughed. I cried. I remembered.

Review by Arnie P
Wolverine Sentinel Hiking Boots
- The Sentinel hiking boots were provided by Wolverine for review purposes.
- The Sentinel are made in USA, with Horween leather uppers, Vibram outsoles, and Gore-Tex waterproof membrane lining.
- The Sentinel comes in widths EW and M in men's sizes 7 to 12 in half sizes and 13 and 14. The available color is: Brown. In my experience, being able to pick a width for any shoe has become the exception.
- Size: 9 US
Width: M
Color: Brown
Measured weight
Left boot: 29.5 oz
Right boot: 29.5 oz
Initial Impressions
My early recollection (1940?s) of Wolverine is that they made shoes and gloves for workers in physically demanding jobs that required a tough durable product. These boots have the same rugged look that I remember. The smell of these leather boots brought back nostalgic memories from when I was living on a farm in the 40's. This leather has a soft smooth feel and yet may resist showing wear as leather did in the 40's. It may be odd, but I prefer hiking boots that have a dull finish, since a boot used for hiking will get scratched and dirty. In the 40's, we did not have Gore-Tex to keep the water out. This boot is a marriage of quality leather from the past and the new high technology materials.
- I would describe the Sentinel as an over the ankle leather boot with a Gore-Tex liner and Vibram out soles. The toe is protected by a small rubber bumper. The soles have an open spaced tread for better traction in tight rocky areas. This openness tends to prevent mud from accumulating on the soles of the boot. There are seven pairs of eyelets for lacing the boots. The lower four and sixth pairs are single riveted and hinged. The fifth pair is double riveted, not hinged, and set back slightly. The seventh pair is a simple eyelet near the top of the boot. All the single riveted lugs are flexible and move as one is walking.
Trying the Sentinel out
I have gotten very used to using a pull tab at the heel to help me put on my shoes. I thought that with a boot, which usually requires more effort, I would miss this feature. However, I found it easy to get into these boots which do not have a real pull tab.
My first real use was a trip to a doctor's office in the city. I have a standard 5-speed transmission. The round trip drive was about an hour and a half, half on the highway and the remaining in city with heavy traffic. As it turned out, the ride home was in early rush-hour stop and go and a bit of stall and crawl highway traffic. I usually have about 2 car lengths ahead of me under these conditions. However, a few drivers behind me decided that they needed to fill that void, thus I had to do a lot foot work with the clutch and brake. I found that the Sentinel boot was as comfortable as any shoe for all my shifting during this driving. I did not do a lot of walking, but what I did was very comfortable, considering it was my first time wearing these boots. My comfort was in spite of wearing a very thin pair of long wool socks which could have made even a slight discomfort more pronounced. For this first try, I also was using all the eyelets for lacing, which I very seldom do when I hike.
I am very pleased with the look and feel, but mostly of the comfort and support that the Sentinel boots provide. Please check back in a month when I will have done some hiking and backpacking.
There is no doubt in my mind the climate is changing in New England. The month of July was consistently hot, rainy and very humid. This is after a lifetime of hearing "If you don't like the weather wait an hour it will change" After all I was in New England." During this testing period, I wore the Sentinel boots on a backpack, 2 hikes, and very little for general non hiking use. What I hope to explore are the benefits of a heavier boot over a shoe that is about half the weight.
Foxbrook campsite backpack
This was a 2 day backpack with a hiking friend, in what is becoming my favorite place to backpack. The Foxbrook campsite is located in New Hampshire a few miles north of Mount Monadnock. The daytime temperature was in the mid 80's and not much cooler during the night. It did rain during the night, but this had no effect on us. The second day was a little cooler and the humidity was slightly lower.
The first thing we did after arriving at the campsite, was to set up our tents and replenish our water supply at a local spring. This spring is the best water supply on this 50-mile trail known as the Greenway Trail. We had made good time and we had plenty of time to get on the trail again to proceed to Jackson Hill (el 2061 ft). This was probably about a mile from our campsite. Our packs were much lighter without the sleeping equipment and tent. We did take our food supply since this area has more than the average number of bears. This hike added almost an additional 2 hours of hiking, so when we got back to the campsite, I was more than ready to eat and turn in for the night. I always seem to sleep so well on these backpacks. My hiking friend stayed up and socialized with the 4 other hikers who were staying at the campsite that night.
This total hike was in the 9-10 mile range. The hiking surfaces varied a great deal from flat to steep inclines and declines, sloping ledge, wooded trail where was a lot of root exposure, and small rocks. This year there has been an above average rainfall so the surfaces tended to be more slippery. Since this is probably my eleventh and twelfth time passing over this trail, I was getting very familiar with the trail and the problem areas. No trail stays exactly the same since nature has a way of changing trails over time. I use hiking poles and was not relying on them as much on this backpack. In areas where there were a lot of exposed tree roots, I had less trouble walking over top of the tree roots. Sometimes there is no choice but to walk on the tree roots. I had slipped on a tree root four years ago and ended up ripping some muscle which is still not fully back to normal. So you can understand my extra caution. I had no problems on this trip with slipping.
It was not until we had our tents set up, that we found we had time to hike to Jackson Hill. Normally, I use both my hiking poles to set up this light weight tent. This time I used a tree instead of one of my poles. I think due to the extra stability I got from the Sentinel hiking boots, I did not notice much difference in having only pole on this almost 2-hour hike.
Horn Pond Reservation
This was another hike in the mid 80's, hot humid with very little breeze. This was a 2 hour hike. I climbed up a very steep hill, down the other very rocky side, around Horn Pond, and back to my car. The hike up on Nolan Trail was mostly on unmaintained paved road. The sentinel boots performed well on this type of surface. The top of this hill was mostly flat, with a lot of ledge. The ledge is flat with occasional outcroppings that rise several feet. Going down the other side is a combination of steep downward sloping ledge and areas of the trail with a lot of small rocks which are sometimes referred to as scree. There is only one way to go down this trail is very carefully. It is easier to go up this side, but I did want to test the capability of these boots, mainly because sometimes there is no choice on an unfamiliar trail. I did get some unwanted sliding, but not as much as the few other times I have descended this trail. The hike around Horn Pond is very flat unless one takes some of the side trails. Hiking/walking the flat area is the type of situation where I could find no advantage to wearing a heavier boot
Middlesex Fells from Greenwood parking lot
This was yet another hike in the mid 80's hot humid but with a slight breeze. The breeze was very much needed mostly because of very small flying insects which at first seemed like floaters in my eye. Although I had posted this 2 hour hike on an internet group, I ended up being alone on this hike. I followed the Crystal Spring trail, passed over Ward Hill, Samoset Hill, and then changed to the Saddleback path to pass over Saddleback Hill, then back to the Crystal Trail to near where I started. I have been hiking in these woods since 1970 and have found this to be a smaller scale of the forest of the White Mountains. The trail I traveled was, with one exception, gentle rolling hills with hard packed soil, rocky spots, some paved spots, and ledge areas. My traction with the Sentinel boots was excellent on all parts of this trail. There was one place where the descent was steep and I had to take extra care, but I had no problems with slipping.
General comments
- I had expected to have some kind of muscle reaction due to the extra weight of these boots. I now seem to think there is an advantage in the support you get from a taller boot. These are the tallest boots I have worn for as long as I can remember. I think the extra support reduces stress on the muscles around the ankle.
- Please check back in about a month when I will have more to say about the Wolverine Sentinel boot.
A last look
Middlesex Fells Reservation
- During this 3 hour hike in the eastern part of the Middlesex Fells, it was a dry 80 F, with an occasional slight breeze. I had posted this hike as an organizer on Meet-up and we had 11 hikers for the main part of the hike. The first half of the hike was mostly ascending and then descending, with occasional flat areas. The Fells has a lot of rocky areas and there are sections where it is impossible to avoid stepping on exposed roots. The picture below is typical of the solid rocky areas. This area has a sloping rocky edge with narrow almost flat places for stepping. Most of these areas were less than the width of my boot. My traction and comfort when walking in the Sentinel boots in these areas was excellent. The stiffness of the sole gave me the stability I needed to maneuver in these spots. The distance involved was less than 20 feet otherwise I would have seriously hesitated to do it
- I volunteered at a half marathon,and a 5k run or walk race. My job was to watch the ice cream freezer so kids and adults took only one of the items offered. I also assisted with the cleanup when the event was over. The day started out rainy, overcast and a bit cool. I was wearing a light jacket but when the sun broke out I removed it. I spent 5 hours standing which I am not used to doing. I had decided to wear the Sentinel boots for this occasion. They were useful in keeping my feet dry when it was raining. I do not like to stand around because my feet tend to ache when I do so. Wearing the Sentinel boots, my feet were totally comfortable from start to finish. I had not expected this.
- I recently learned about a weekly hike run by the DCR (Department of Conservation and Recreation). The day I went was sunny with temperatures in the mid 60's with very little wind. There were 24 in our hiking group including the leader. This was a leisurely paced hike of less than 2 hours. We were in a part of Harold Parker that I have never been to before, which was a pleasant surprise for me. There were no steep climbs or descends. There were several areas where the rocks on the trail were small and mostly not stable. With these boots, I could see the rocks I was stepping on, but could not feel them. My footing was stable at all times and when my foot shifted a little it was never a concern for me. I am looking forward to going with this group again. The beauty of this hike is that I don't have to sign up, just show up, and since it is less than a half hour driving distance, it is even nicer.
- Since my body has aged, I don't like being on a ladder. However, there are things that need to be done where using a ladder is the quickest and most efficient way. I have 2 aluminum extension ladders and 3 homemade wooden ladders. The wooden ladders are shorter and in some ways stronger; however, the rungs are less than ¾ in wide and are easier to slip off of with shoes that have flexible soles. With the Sentinel, I could stand for long periods of time on my wooden ladder and not have to worry about slipping off the rung, or feeling the rung through the boot sole. The main job this year was to replace several clapboards which had been compromised. Removing clapboards that have been on this house for 63 years is tedious especially because I do not want to damage the good clapboards surrounding the bad one. This is not something I like doing but the Sentinel boots did make the job easier. I have also used these boots on a ladder to cut branches from trees in my back yard.
- The testing of the Sentinel boots has been rewarding for me because I will now be using this boot for the shorter hikes that I do on trails with irregular surfaces in addition to my backpacks. The boot may be heavier, but the overall comfort and reduced fatigue more than makes up for the weight difference. The comfort and the ability of the boot to ventilate are both excellent. I am looking forward to using these boots on my yearly trip to the New Hampshire White Mountains in November and in winter which will be here soon in New England.
- I wish to thank 4alloutdoors.org and Wolverine for the opportunity to review the Sentinel Boots.

Poker Tournament Strategy
Poker Tournament Strategy
Poker tournaments have arguably done for online poker what Newton did for science. Poker tournaments receive the highest amount of traffic at online poker rooms. Poker sites like PokerStars have a traffic surge of up to 300% when they have a major tournament on such as the Stars Sunday Million ($1.5 Million GTD). In fact, PokerStars made the Guinness Book of World Records when they hosted a $1 buy-in tournament in Decembe4 2009 that attracted just under 150,000 entrants.
It's a fair comment to say that when many new poker player join online poker sites they tend to learn their traits in the micro-stakes MTTs and SNGs before moving on to cash games. Hence, learning how to play poker tournament successfully is extremely important for quick success and building a bankroll as a new player.
The first thing that you need to understand about poker tournaments is that the rising blinds, constant switching of tables, moving players and prizepool-payout makes poker tournament strategy completely different to regular cash game strategy.
Because you only have one buy-in or chip stack in an online tournament (unless you are playing re-buy MTTs) it means that you have to play a much tighter, passive game in the early stages. Dan Harrington, who wrote the book on poker tournament strategy, suggests keeping to a TAG starting-hand selection of pocket pairs, AJ+ and JJ+ during the early stages of the tournament. The reason that you need to keep to such a tight hand selection (e.g. top 10% of your hands) is that if you decide to limp and start playing hands like A5 or QJ you will find that you will be beaten by a great kicker down the line (i.e. AQ or AK). It's also very hard to limp with marginal hands such as 67s out of position because the chances of being raised or 3bet on a 10-man table are significantly higher.
As you move into the middle stages of the tournament, in other words once the antes kick in, you'll need to ramp up the aggression. This require the learning of all kinds of complex, advanced tactics such as blind stealing, 3betting light, 4bet shoving, double-barrelling, re-stealing and squeeze play. These are far too complicated concepts to discuss in a single article but for more information I recommend visiting mosesbet.com/mtt-strategy.
The reason that you need to be so aggressive in tournaments is because of the rising blinds and antes. These effectively force you into building a stack faster than you would conventionally do in a cash game. The time pressure factor means that you have to take more risks, which may include shoving on top of an opponent from LP or calling a short-stack player's all-in from the blinds.
Blind stealing also becomes incredibly important in the middle to late stages of a tournament. As you approach the middle stages, the average stack size will only be around 50BBs and this means that the value of bluffing or stealing the blinds and pre-flop pots becomes extremely high. If you are sat in LP or CO on a tight table, especially with tight or short-stack players (less than 30BBs) on the blinds than you should consider re-raising them or even shoving all-in. It's coin-flip situations like this and aggressive pressure which the key to winning a poker tournament.
As you progress towards the bubble you'll notice that many of the players on your table will decide to tighten up (i.e. fold more hands pre-flop). This is because of something known as ICM (independent chip model) and it basically means that players will be less willing to risk their chips and risk busting out of the tournament early just before they enter the guaranteed payoff places. Although you should also be tightening up at this stage, you should also be taking advantage of the players at your table that tighten up – especially those with short stacks who are extremely unlikely to call a push.
Finally, as it boils down to the final table and the game becomes short-handed you'll need to open up your hand range. With an average stack size of just 20BBs at the final table, blind stealing becomes less effective because you are now entering a push/fold situation. You can use push-fold charts which utilise your M-ratio and starting hands, but in general you just need to be aware that hands such as Ax, Ace suited, broadway card and pocket pairs all have massive value to be 3betting pre-flop at this stage. Your other hands will need to be folded.
Finally, in heads up play remember that coming 1st should be your objective. Many players would be happy just coming 2nd place but you have to realise that 1st place generally receive double the payout of 2nd. This means that all of your previous hard work could effectively be doubled if you successfully managed to come 1st instead of 2nd. And believe me, when you start playing volumes in the range of a 100 or more MTTs each month this point becomes extremely relevant!
On a different note, many new poker players join online poker sites they tend to learn the game and little by little from experience learn the players, the tactics of the game and finally make money online.

In many cases, yes. It depends upon your domain name's extension and its registry rules. If the registry for your domain name extension allows it, we hold your expired domain name for a few days waiting for you to renew it. For many domain name extensions (such as .com, .net, and .org) there is a grace period allowing you to renew the domain name after expiration without penalty. After the grace period for these extensions, you must pay a redemption fee plus the cost of regular renewal if you want to keep the domain name. For some domain name extensions, primarily country code (ccTLD) extensions, there is no grace period. Once the domain name expires, you must pay a redemption fee plus renewal to keep the domain name…(GoDaddy Support) Continue reading: http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/609/can-i-renew-my-domain-name-after-it-expires

Most things in Cyprus are found either by word of mouth or by getting into your car and actually visiting a bunch of places. The internet unfortunately is not as helpful! Which is a bummer for me who loves to do the research in the comfort of my house and narrow down the search or order online!
We had decided a while back that we wanted a DJ at our wedding. While we both like live bands and Mr. Milk is himself a musician, the quality of most bands in Cyprus is not so great for the broad repertoire we want (both English and Greek music). We are hoping to have some instruments there though so that Mr. Milk can play with his friends during the dinner reception!

What is Yoga 308
Life is a constant struggle of balancing our body on both a physical and emotional side. Through yoga I have learned several life lessons. Yoga 308 is a goal I set for myself to do at least 60 minutes of yoga for 6 days a week for the next year. I invite anyone to join me on this adventure as I blog about some of my daily experiences. This is not intended to show that I have found peace and tranquility, but rather give my honest feelings of my journey. Enjoy.

Day 215 - Max Strom workshop - Day 1
Tonight started a 3 day workshop with Max Strom. Max Strom brings yoga back to the basics. Concentrating and teaching people how to breathe. Tonight's workshop was Better Sleep. It was yoga poses that helped out our sleeping pattern, along with behaviors and eating patterns that will help out with our sleep. It was really good to get back to the breath again.
There are so many different types of personality types in this world. So many different people, and we are all growing, digressing, and ever changing. Every morning we get out of bed for some reason. We wake with the knowledge of life as we know it, on that day. Typically, we do not wake and question why we do what we do. At some point we stop asking the question why and just get into the mold. We wake up to eat breakfast, go to work, eat lunch, come home, walk the dog, eat dinner, watch the tv, and go to bed. We wake the next morning and do it all over again.
For most of us excitement hits on the weekend. We have time to do either "what we want to do" or "what we need to do". For most of us there is a constant go go go. We keep doing what we think is the right thing to do. We never stop.
What if it all stopped. What if today was the day the earth decided to stop rotating around the sun. It shot off into space and that's the end.
We keep going and going never stopping to enjoy the simple and magical aspects of life. A seed planted in dirt that some how gets the proper water and nutrients to break open and grow into a plant that eventually grows into a vegetable that supplies us with food. Every second our heart beating, allowing so many complex things to happen inside our body. We take life for granted.
We think that life is about making money, reproducing, praising god, partying, becoming popular, buying that new car, convincing others to follow our path. I have found the one true answer. Enjoy what is in front of us, Enjoy what we have, and enjoy what the universe has presented to you. Find the happiness in the things that are right in front of you right now. Right now in this moment. Stop needing, stop wanting, stop the quick fixes.
Break the mold and realize we all have an end.

Angolas Wealth:
Stories of War and Neglect
Oxfam International has worked in Angola since 1989. We work both directly and
through partners to provide water, sanitation and health programmes, as well as
education, food security and democracy-building work. Oxfam Internationals
programmes together budget more than $US 5 million and work directly with over
350,000 people.
Amelia Bookstein/Oxfam
In Cangandala, displaced people and local people live together in
difficult conditions. Either side of this church path could be
mined, so children cannot venture into the grassy areas.
Lucia and Avelina, a mother and her grown daughter (who has children of
her own), left Mussende because of the war. Avelina arrived in Cangandala
in January, seeking medical help for a child that was ill. Her husband, a
teacher, disappeared in Bie province, and she has had to manage alone.
Lucia came after an attack in February when she was nearly killed by a shell
exploding in her house. Five other family members died in that attack; Lucia
survived, but was badly wounded in the leg. She was taken to Rio Kwanza,
but the bridge was destroyed. With the help of the military, she crossed the
river by canoe and was then taken to join her daughter in the IDP camp.
Lucia has regained much of her strength after treatment, but she still cannot
walk very far.
In addition to a lack of food, salt and clothing in Mussende, these women
witnessed an alarming escalation of violence. Both government troops and
UNITA troops abuse the women.
One time, however, when government troops allegedly raped women in
town, their commander brought the whole community together after the
incident. Then the commander shot and killed all five men accused of the
crimes, in front of the community.
The women were shocked, as they had never before seen anyone be
executed like that.
There are places where the government has access, but remain too insecure
for humanitarian agencies to operate. For example, State administration has
been established in Cazombo, in Moxico province, and conditions are
reportedly quite serious for thousands of IDPs in the area. Still, security
clearance has not been granted, and little effort has been made to make
corridors for aid.
Elf has also been involved in the cases of several major weapons transactions
in France, including the trial of the son of the late President Mitterand. Jean-
Christophe Mitterand was accused of arms trafficking and money laundering,
connected to Franco-Angolan negotiations carried out between Frances
Interior Minister and President Dos Santos. 34 The case has been dropped,
however, on legal grounds.
According to IMF data, the government spent 41% of its 1999 budget on
Defence and Public Order. This proportion is striking, as it is set against only
4.8% spent on education, and just 2.8% on health.35 Even compared to other
developing countries in Africa, this percentage is low. Kenya, for example,
spent 18.8% of its budget on education in 1996; Botswana and Namibia each
spend about 22%.36
The government reportedly spends 1.2 billion dollars per year on defence. In
peacetime admittedly, a tense peace the Angolan government still devoted
18% of its GDP to defence.37 This money, even a fraction of it, is more than
enough to ensure the food security of all the war-affected people in the
country. This is 20 times the UN World Food Programme proposed budget for
the country, for example.38
Amelia Booksein/Oxfam
This little girl is waiting to be seen at a health clinic run by a medical NGO.
Government spending on health and education remains far below that of other
developing countries, and is just a small fraction of military expenditure.
The international community, the World Bank, the IMF, and all private
financial enterprises must keep up consistent pressure for transparency
and accountability on the Angolan government and on those companies
dealing with either of the warring parties.
All oil companies operating in Angola should transparently publish their
accounts with the Angolan government, including all signature bonus
payments made.
The international community, under the auspices of the UN General
Assembly, should adopt a binding international scheme for the
certification of rough diamonds by December 2001. Governments must
set in place systems that effectively regulate the flow of rough diamonds.
The international community should provide technological and financial
support for the regions governments to set up these systems with proper
law enforcement. The World Diamond Council and the industry as a
whole must be committed to independent auditing and monitoring.
The international donor community must step up its provisions for
humanitarian relief in Angola, in the face of the escalating
humanitarian suffering from increased military action. Support for the
humanitarian community, including for initiatives in humanitarian
corridors, should have the full political and financial support of the donor
The international community must press both the Angolan government
and UNITA to return to peace talks, with the full consultation of civil
New partnerships that build the capacity of local and national NGOs, civil
society, and civil administration should be explored. Civil societys peace
initiatives should also be fostered and supported.
For UNITA
UNITA must end its terror tactics that prey on the population while still
prolonging a military stalemate. The indiscriminate killing of civilians,
the forced conscription of soldiers (including child soldiers), the rape and
abduction of women, and the use of landmines must cease.
UNITA should work with neutral interlocutors to facilitate humanitarian
corridors in UNITA- controlled areas to limit the suffering of distressed
In place of ongoing guerrilla warfare and counter-insurgency tactics that
take a heavy toll on the population, UNITA should explore possibilities
for a sustainable peace.

A Time and a Place
Kakashi watched Iruka making tea with tight, jerky motions, nearly stomping back and forth through his small kitchen. It didn't look at all serene to him. And Iruka hadn't even noticed that he had a visitor sitting in his window.
"You need to choose your time and ground better, Iruka. I thought you knew that," he said, finally.
Iruka spun, tea splashing over his wrist, shuriken suddenly in the other hand. "What are you doing here?" he demanded.
Kakashi refrained from rolling his eyes. "I'm here to answer your question, because I'm a nice guy."
"Nice?" Kakashi supposed he'd earned the way Iruka growled that, considering how he'd slapped Iruka down in the meeting not an hour ago. But that was no excuse for not thinking, and he straightened out of his slouch, meeting Iruka's glare.
"Iruka," he said quietly. And that was all, but the outrage slowly drained out of Iruka's expression and he sat down heavily at his kitchen table.
"My apologies, Kakashi-san," he said to his tea cup, "for disappointing your expectations."
Not, Kakashi noted wryly, for yelling at him in public, but that wasn't the part he'd really minded. "So." He leaned back against the windowsill again. "Now that you're not being insubordinate and losing control in public, let's try that again. Do you really think my team isn't ready for the exams?"
"How can they be?" Iruka demanded, firing right up again, waving the hand not clenching his tea. "It's barely been a year! They've only had a handful of missions! How can they possibly be ready for promotion?!"
"They're not." Kakashi's mouth quirked under his facemask as Iruka stared at him. "They're not ready for promotion. But they are ready for the exams."
Iruka stared at him. "You… you, you mean you're… but…!" Kakashi leaned forward, hands on his knees.
"Iruka. Listen to me. Those three are outstanding, but they also have very serious weaknesses. The only, and I mean only, time I've seen them draw together to cover each other the way a team needs to do in the field is when they're in danger of their lives. That's also when all of them advance by leaps and bounds you have to see to believe. So. You're a teacher. You tell me: what should I do to help them progress and become what they can be?"
Iruka looked back at him, torn. "But…" Finally, he whispered, looking down, "But Naruto…"
Kakashi could see the fine tremors running down Iruka's arms from how tight he was holding his shoulders, and sighed. He'd been pretty sure that was the real problem, yes. As gently as he could he said, "You knew what you were training them for, Iruka. You knew what they would be, once they graduated. Including Naruto."
Iruka thumped his tea down, sloshing still more over the edge, and buried his face in his hands. "I'm never having children," he said, low and violent. "Never."
Kakashi didn't point out that it was pretty much too late. He slid off the window and came to stand beside Iruka. "Hey." When Iruka didn't look up he nudged Iruka's hands aside, wrapped his hand around Iruka's chin, and lifted it. "Naruto is finding himself. He's starting to move forward based on confidence instead of blind, dumb determination. And the three of them can work together; they'll look out for each other in the exam." Quieter but firmly, the tone he knew made Iruka respond, "You need to let him walk on his own, now."
Iruka closed his eyes, stilling under Kakashi's hand as some of the tension ran out of him. "Yes, Kakashi-san," he said, husky.
Some people, Kakashi supposed, might feel guilty about using Iruka's lingering bond to his ex-commander like this. But no shinobi ever would. It was what worked, and it was what his comrade needed. That was all that mattered. "Good." He slid his hand down to Iruka's shoulder and gave him a brisk shake. "And that means you're not going to lose control in the middle of a meeting in front of the Hokage again, are you?"
Iruka flushed red and looked down, finally, it seemed, realizing exactly what he'd done. "No, Kakashi-san."
"Better." Kakashi slid one hand up to knead the nape of Iruka's neck, hard, until he gasped and tipped his head back and finally relaxed. "Don't beat yourself up over it," Kakashi murmured. "Family tend to do things like that when the kids are involved. Just try not to do it again."
"Yes, Kakashi-san." Iruka smiled up at him, just a little wry. "Thank you."
"Don't worry." Kakashi let him go with a last squeeze of his shoulder and stepped back. The imp of mischief nipped him and he grinned and let his tone turn just the slightest bit insinuating. "After all, you know how I take care of my teams." He hopped out the window while Iruka was still sputtering and turning red, chuckling.
That should give Iruka something to distract him from his concern for his little brother. Kakashi did, after all, take good care of his teams.

Engineered bacteria become the first living computers
Scientists have built the first living computer and tasked it with solving an important problem: flipping pancakes.
Researchers genetically engineered the bacterium E. coli to coax its DNA into computing a classic mathematical puzzle known as the burned pancake problem. Molecules of DNA have the natural ability to store and process information, and scientists have been performing computations with bare DNA molecules in lab dishes since the mid-1990s. But the new research, reported online in the Journal of Biological Engineering, is the first to do DNA computation in living cells.
"Imagine having the parallel processing power of a million computers all in the space of a drop of water," says Ka

Latest addition to portfolio, announced at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February, to have screen almost double the size of its predecessor
Samsung is to launch its Galaxy Note 10.1 device later this month, an extension to its Galaxy Note product portfolio.
It is powered by a 1.4GHz processor and runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. It houses a five megapixel main camera, 1.9 megapixel front-facing camera, HD video playback and recording, along with either 16, 32 or 64GB of internal memory, expandable by up to 64GB with a microSD card.
It features S Note, which enables users to combine notes or sketches together with web content, images and other digital media into their own personalised storyboards.
Users can also search, obtain information and drag and drop the cropped images and content onto S Notes without having to switch between screens.
Students can watch a lecture streamed live on the device while making notes on S Note, and can also read a full textbook while annotating it.
Also featured on the Note 10.1 is Samsung's Hubs, Apps, ChatON and AllShare Play services.
Samsung UK and Ireland telecommunications and networks division vice president Simon Stanford said: "Following the success of the very first Galaxy Note which we launched at the end of last year, we're delighted that our UK customers will now be able to experience the evolution of this device for themselves.
"The Galaxy Note 10.1 is a product we are very excited about and will offer our customers a new way to use and experience a tablet device. As well as being able to consume content such as videos, photos, document and the Internet, the Galaxy Note 10.1 also gives them the power to produce, create and customise that same content – something they won't get from any other product on the market."

Artimplant: First Step towards Treatment of Spinal Disorders with Artelon(R)
Artimplant (STO:ARTIB) is taking its first step towards treatment of spinal disorders with its proprietary biomaterial Artelon(R). An Artelon(R) implant will now be used for investigational treatment of osteoarthritis of the lumbar facet joints. The investigator, Schulthess Clinic Spine Center, plans to start enrolling patients during the second quarter of 2009.
Schulthess Clinic Spine Center in Zurich has received the letter of confirmation from Swissmedic to commence the clinical investigation of an Artelon(R) implant. The aim of this pilot clinical investigation is to evaluate the feasibility of treating painful osteoarthritis of the lumbar facet joints of the spine with an Artelon(R) implant. The pain relief provided by this treatment will be examined and the patients will be followed up for two years. The study will form the basis for documenting the safety and ease of use of the Artelon(R) implant in spine applications and establishing the post-surgical instructions.
Artimplant has more than nine years' clinical experience of Artelon(R) in the treatment of osteoarthritis in small joints in the hand, wrist and foot. The principles behind helping the body to heal and regain functional joints do not differ to any great extent from one part of the body to another. Applying the Artelon(R) resurfacing concept to the facet joint is a logical step for Artimplant and is in line with the trend in spine surgery towards motion preservation. Compared to other spine surgery alternatives the procedure is simple. Implanting the Artelon(R) device is less invasive than most other spine procedures and can be performed through the patient's back. Thereby the patient can resume normal activities after a short recovery period.

Every blog needs a post introducing the blog and the author, right?
So what's with the name?
I'm a huge geek, and have been for most of my life. I've loved video games since the NES days of my childhood, and I've been reading sci-fi and fantasy novels for almost as long. I started watching anime in high school and playing tabletop RPGs in college.
It's tempting to launch into an exhaustive list of my geeky interests in an attempt to rack up some "geek cred," but I'll spare you. Besides, I'm not into the geek elite point of view. I think being a geek is not about what you like, how long you've liked it, or how much money or time you've spent on it. Simply put, it's about enthusiasm. And as my husband will tell you, I've got that in spades. ^_^
At the same time, though, part of the fun of being a geek is discussing things you like with other people who like them as much as you do! So don't worry, there will definitely be posts in the future where I will talk more about my interests, and I would love to hear from people who share the same passions!
Pretty self-explanatory. I'm a redhead. As a child I used to see that as a bad thing, but as I got older I got used to it and eventually I guess I came to see it as just a part of who I am. Now, thanks to the Doctor, I've realized how awesome it is. ^_~
Yes, I'm a girl. In some ways, I'm the stereotypical "girly-girl." For example, my favorite color is pink, I hate bugs, and I love shopping, especially for clothes and shoes. But I hope you won't judge me based on that. Like most people, I have many sides, which sometimes might even seem contradictory.
Like being a geek. I know; geek girls aren't as rare as we used to be. In a way, that makes me feel less "special," I'll admit. But I think the awesome geek girl community and the fact that more geeky things are being geared towards girls these days more than makes up for that.
|Actually this picture sums me up pretty accurately... Wish I could figure out the original source...
What else?
As much as I wish I could've come up with the perfect blog name that completely describes me (and is catchy and easy to remember), I'm pretty sure that's impossible. There are some other important things about me that you might want to know. My name is Kristy. I'm 30 years old. I live in Arkansas with my husband, Billy, who is 22. We don't have any children yet, but we've only been married about a year now, so give us time. ;)
I'm a Christian. I know that's not necessarily common in the geek community. I'm not one to shove my beliefs down others' throats, but I won't censor myself in fear of offending, either. As most people do, I may want to talk about my beliefs and values occasionally. If you disagree with me, feel free to say so. I'm fine with having dialogue about controversial topics, as long as everyone involved is mature and respectful to everyone else. And that includes me.
I also have Bipolar Disorder. It's difficult at times, but it's another one of those things that's just part of who I am. In the past I have let my symptoms get so bad that it caused some major damage to my life (which I may write more about later), but I have learned a lot about how to keep the symptoms to a minimum. God is the most important part of that for me, and my husband has been a great help too.
I just graduated from college in May. I double-majored in Early Childhood Education and Psychology, with a minor in Japanese Language. My intention was to get a job as an elementary school teacher, but since for a while it looked like that wasn't going to work out, I thought I would try my hand at blogging. (Now I just got a job as a teacher at a daycare, but I was already so excited about the idea of blogging, that I decided to go ahead and still do it!)
What will I write about on this blog?
Anything mentioned above and more. I may write about my personal life, religious beliefs, marriage, Bipolar Disorder, etc. I will probably write a lot about my geeky interests – anything from reports on cons I went to, to tips for running a D&D game. I intend to write about some of my forays into the world of crafting – probably about lot about making jewelry, a particular interest of mine. I also have a series of posts planned about the two-week trip to Japan that Billy and I made last summer with the college.
Beyond that, we'll just have to wait and see where this goes!

Almeda Bradshaw will have Bonnie Zieske on bass and a multi-instrumentlist from Belgrade performing with her. "Anything Goes" will be Sharon Karlson and friends. We know who the String Stretchers, Song Dog, BforB, and Cold Frosty are. That leaves "Bluegrass County Line" and the "Sure Enough String Band." An earlier e-mail listed NINE bands including Andrew Wilson, Archie Bott, and Karen Schlosser bands. Andrew Wilson's was said to be a family band. Apparently one of these three has been dropped and you can take your own guess as to who the remaining two are and who is playing with them. We will all find out on Friday, May 9, 2014/

ANNA MARIA – The Center of Anna Maria Island is opening its door to welcome an established Holmes Beach business – Island Fitness is moving in with the nonprofit.
"I am looking forward to bringing my years of fitness experience to the community center to both increase the service offerings for Island Fitness members and to the community center's current members," said Island Fitness owner Brenda Canning in a press release. "I am confident that through this relationship we will be able to create a mutually beneficial opportunity for growth and community involvement."
Though some of the details are still being worked out, the staff at Island Fitness will be taking over the Center's second-floor fitness center. The change comes as Island Fitness's Holmes Beach location's lease ends, meaning members will now have to travel down the road to Anna Maria to use their memberships.
Center Executive Director Kristen Lessig said the arrangement is a win-win for both organizations.
"I am extremely excited about the opportunity to work with Brenda and the Island Fitness team," she said in the Oct. 29 press release. "The Center team is looking forward to expanding our reach within the community through true collaboration. Brenda has an amazing reputation and following in the community, as well as expertise in the fitness industry that will add great value to the services we provide, while our expansive programs and committed staff will allow for Island Fitness members to truly be part of our efforts to preserve the sense of community on the Island."
Lessig said the Center will remain home to Anna Maria CrossFit which is launching a kid's program in November.
As the location change begins, Island Fitness members are invited to tour the Center and try one of the fitness classes currently offered. Lessig said one of the details still being ironed out is how current Island Fitness memberships will be honored at the business's new location and what membership structure will be offered in the future. A finalized timeline for the transition and further details are scheduled to be released to both Island Fitness and Center members by e-mail in the coming weeks.

A senior Tory cabinet minister has sparked fury after he was secretly recorded showering praise on a company planning hundreds of redundancies in the newly privatised probation service.
Cabinet office minister Francis Maude let slip the Tories' plan for a "flood" of further privatisation - saying some services will "not be delivered by the public sector at all."
He praised the French outsourcing company Sodexo for it's "public service ethos" while speaking at an event sponsored by the company.
But it recently emerged that Sodexo is planning to make up to 700 workers in the probation service redundant - replacing them with a series of "self service" kiosks.
The plan would see offenders check in using unmanned computer terminals rather than seeing an officer in person.
It comes as new figures reveal almost half of new contracts in the NHS have gone to private firms.
Maude has also previously been at the centre of controversy when he described 80,000 public sector job cuts as "good" and "popular".
In his speech, he described the privatisation brought in during the last parliament as "the beginning of a journey."
He continued: "But there is much more that needs to be done and much more that can be done. Now that we know so much more about the possibilities, the way is open I think in the next five years for a flood of innovation, a flood of new ways of doing things. And come one, come all, let there be much to do."
A Conservative Party spokesperson said: "As part of our long-term economic plan this Government is reforming public services, helping save taxpayers £20bn last year compared to Labour's final year in office.
"Like the last Labour government we are not dogmatically for or against outsourcing but we are now encouraging mutuals, joint ventures and social enterprises to deliver public services so we can improve quality while saving money".
Labour's Ian Mearns said: "Francis Maude has made clear that five more years of the Tories means increasing redundancies and increased privatisation of our public services.
"For a Minister to celebrate people losing their jobs underlines that the Tories simply do not understand that our country succeeds when working people succeed.
"Time and again, the Tories want to put private profit and the interests of their donors before the public interest.
"The Tories stand up for the wrong people and believe that the wealth of those at the top will benefit all others. In truth, trickle down doesn't work and all the while working families are struggling to make ends meet."
Francis Maude has been minister of state for the Cabinet Office since the 2010 general election. In February he announced he was stepping down as an MP, but will be elevated to the House of Lords, so he could remain a minister in the next parliament.

Bramleigh Park, Northern England, January, 1816
Memory lost…
Her fiancée. She could hardly look in his eyes. Not because she didn't want to, but because she had such hard time looking away, as if her whole life was reflected in the deep, cobalt blue. Had she always felt this way? Ariana smiled as Justin refilled her crystal goblet with red wine.
The evening had been perfect. He'd set himself out to charm her and succeeded beyond measure. How could she not be charmed? A beautiful, candlelit table laden with delectable food, a warm fire to keep the chill of winter at bay, and, last, but certainly not least, a handsome, attentive dinner companion.
The 'other Ariana' had been a lucky girl.
Under the table, out of Justin's perceptive line of sight, she clenched her napkin in her fist. Stop it! She and the 'other Ariana' were one and the same. Somehow she must stop fracturing the two or she feared she'd always feel like an imposter.
She smoothed the wrinkles from the fine linen napkin on her lap, her finger tracing the gold monogram. Yet how could she think of this family crest potentially becoming her own? She had no sense of where she'd come from, so how could she possibly pick up the threads of where she'd been going?
"Would you like that?"
"Hmm?" Would she like what? Ariana flushed, realizing she had no idea what he had been saying. She gambled he wouldn't be asking her to do anything unpleasant and smiled. Surely she'd never smiled so much in her life. "Yes, that would be…lovely."
"Lovely," Justin repeated, as if contemplating her word choice. "All right. In a day or two, when you feel up to it, I will introduce you to my dead ancestors."
Now he had her full attention. "What?"
He arched a dark brow. "You asked about my family history. The portrait gallery will be a good enough place to start as any."
"Oh! The portrait gallery. Of course." Where else would dead ancestors be? For a second she'd wondered what new turn her fall into this strange world had taken.
Justin looked a little perplexed at her nervous relief, but she wasn't about to explain the way her imagination had conjured ghosts. And true, she had asked about his family history. Over dinner she'd asked many questions about his life until she'd blundered into the topic of his recent loss.
"I would like to see the portrait gallery," she said again. Her fingers now worked at folding the napkin into small squares. "It would be…"
"Lovely," finished Justin. "I know."
They ate in silence for a while and Ariana tried to think of a way to bring the conversation back to its earlier camaraderie. She hadn't asked what she wanted to know most of all, but she could hardly blurt out her question now.
But the moment seemed lost. Justin set down his napkin. "You are tired. I'll call for the servants to clear the dishes so you can rest."
Ariana bit her lip in disappointment. Too late. She tried her well-worn smile one more time. "I am not that tired."
She lied. The range of questions she had about herself and about the two of them flat out exhausted her. Maybe tonight her dreams wouldn't leave her with more questions than answers. Or maybe she'd toss and turn, wishing she'd been brave enough tonight to ask what only he could answer.
"Wait!" She reached out across the table and grasped his hand to stop him from leaving. The bandage on her wrist, so carefully hidden by the frilly lace of her dressing gown sleeve, showed itself in a stark white juxtaposition of darker questions. From what she'd been told, she'd injured her wrists in the carriage accident weeks ago. Both of them. Odd, that. And then she'd been ill for a long time, which accounted for her weight loss. But somehow it felt out of order. Shouldn't her injuries have healed by now?
"What is it, Angel?"
Angel. When he called her that she felt torn in opposite directions. I do not know if I belong here.
Ariana shook her head. Where else could she belong? She searched his eyes, hoping to lose herself and have the dark questions and uncertainties banished. Perhaps it was because she felt so weary of the void of her past, but she surprised both. "How did we meet, Justin? Was it love at first sight?"
There was no sound in the room except for the crackle of the fire. She hadn't taken her eyes away from his face and she thought, for just a moment, his mouth quirked. Amusement? A grimace? In the shifting flicker of the candlelight, it could have been either one. And that's what bothered her. The uncertainty of claiming one true emotion from the past, even if it were his alone, tied her stomach in knots.
She waited, hoping he would erase the ambiguity of what really should have been a simple question. But he said nothing. If anything, he looked pained. Tormented. So it had been a grimace then, she decided. Yes, it must have been a grimace. Either that or the impeccably prepared stuffed pheasant had disagreed with him. Rather unlikely, although she would like to give him the benefit of the doubt.
She released his hand and sat back. Her throat felt tight. That he cared for her she believed, but something was plainly wrong. Why must he hold his silence so firmly? Didn't he know how much she needed his words? Without them she had nothing. Worse than nothing.
"I know you think I have to remember everything on my own," she rushed on, filling the silence, "as if telling me anything will do some irreparable harm, but I feel certain if you could just tell me this one thing then I would remember the rest. Would you do that please?"
He sighed. "Ariana, it's complicated --"
"Of course it's bloody complicated!" The tears were coming fast now and she brushed impatiently at her cheeks. "Don't you think I don't know that? But we had a past! The least you could do is talk to me - - not sit there like, like some martyr!"
There. She'd said it. Now maybe he'd tell her everything.
Justin said nothing long past the aftermath of her outburst. He looked around the room, as though looking for escape, and settled his gaze on the fire. She felt foolish sharing so much intimacy with a man who was a stranger to her. She didn't know if she'd hurt him. She didn't know him.
The tears fell down her cheeks and she didn't try to stop them. Her head bent, she offered the only apology she could. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry I've forgotten you. I want you to know that. You've lost so much and don't deserve to have a fiancé who cannot remember you. You don't--"
Glass shattered. She jerked her head from the fireplace grate back to Justin. Her breath caught at the turmoil that flashed raw and dangerous in his eyes. Her wish had been granted. One true emotion.
"I'm not a bloody martyr!" he said tightly. "You have no idea how much the opposite."
Now maybe he would be honest with her. She tried to be still. Nothing would have made her look away, except a tingling in her nose couldn't be ignored. She sniffled.
Justin visibly recaptured his control, taking a calming breath and running a hand over his jaw. She cursed her runny nose for breaking the spell.
He studied her, obviously weighing what to tell her. "What do you want from me, Angel? Do you want me to paint a rosy picture of our perfect life?"
Her heart skipped a beat at the implication he would tell her what she wanted to hear—be it truth or lie. What did she want?
Everything. She wanted what she'd felt earlier, when he'd brushed her hair. The intimacy hadn't frightened her. Not then. Only, with each new hint of something wonderful between them, she felt more and more cheated of her memories, of which there must be many for her to feel so connected to this man.
Surely there was nothing to fear. She decided to answer his question with a question, trying hard to sound, if not casual, at least not desperate. "It wasn't a perfect life?"
Something like a prayer ran through her mind. Please tell me it had been perfect.
