A few years back, Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z was everywhere. The series was and is, arguably, the most successful anime in terms of the popularity that it has garnered since making its way out of Japan. At one point in time, it seemed as though every single kid I knew of, under the age of 12 was completely infatuated with the series and its characters. Everywhere that I looked, it was there: backpacks, school folders, action figures, Halloween costumes... you name it. Out of the popularity has come an onslaught of video games for every single platform imaginable, from home console to portable device. From the perspective of an outsider to the craze, all of the games have seemed the same to me: over the top fighting action with incredibly animated characters that I just didn't "get". Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 looked to be more of the same, only this one happened to "click" with me. Bear with me if I sound a little ignorant on the Dragon Ball topic, but that is because I am. This is going to be from the point of view of an outsider looking in onto the franchise, and being quite impressed with this particular package.
I am not sure, perhaps it's may age and maturation (or lack thereof) or the seriousness in which I take my responsibility to review a game, but this Dragon Ball game hit me a lot differently than all of the others I have come across in the past. Instead of being almost immediately turned off from the outset once again, I found myself drawn into this one and intrigued to learn more not only about the characters, but the lore behind the series. Luckily for me, this game alone provides a pretty ample opportunity for me to learn about both and provides an opportunity to get in on the action, or at least feel like I am. Raging Blast 2's purpose seems to be that of a "fan service" to loyal followers of the series while at the same time serving as a crash course on the subject to those unfamiliar with the franchise. The game is filled to the brim with content including tons of playable characters, abundant customization options, as well as what seems like a never ending list of unlockable art, movies, and encyclopedia entries and profiles which span across the proverbial Dragon Ball universe. Those who get into the game will likely be playing it for a long, long time in order to see all that it has to offer.
At its core, the game is a fighting game. Players face off against one another, or against the computer both online and offline, as one of 70 or so characters from the Dragon Ball series. That number just counts the base characters listed on the game's main character selection screen, in addition to that base amount there are a ton of variations on the base characters available including their various forms and evolutions. All of them are presented in an incredibly detailed, cell-shaded style that looks and feels just like the anime / cartoons. The game is visually stunning in that sense; the developers have done an excellent job of recreating the style used in the actual shows into the game. It feels like you are participating in an actual Dragon Ball episode or movie. The same thing can be said for the games audio and soundtrack; while most of the original voice actors were not used, the voice samples used in the game represent the personas well based from my experience and the ability to choose between English and Japanese voices will likely be welcomed with open arms by fans the world over.

Project Instructions
Step 1 After reading all manufacturers instructions found inside the Creative Versa-Tool®, attach Flow Point on Tool. Secure Tool Stand to work surface with tape. Place Tool on Stand. Plug into electric outlet, turn Versa-Temp control dial to the Red Zone, and heat for four to five minutes.
Step 2 Meanwhile, use the ruler to find the center of the plaque. Tape stencil in place to center tile design. Use pencil to trace stencil design onto wood surface. Trace corner elements with pencil also.
Step 3 Use Flow Point to burn each stencil design. Add dots by holding Creative Versa-Tool® perpendicular to the wood surface, touching the surface, then lifting the point off the surface. You can make smaller or larger dots by touching lightly or a little stronger. Once all elements are wood-burned, use pliers to remove Flow Point and drop it into the ceramic dish.
Step 4 Use pliers to attach the Shading Point. After wood-burning all edges of the plaque, turn Versa-Temp control dial to "O" – off.
Step 5 Use eraser to remove any remaining pencil lines.
Step 6 Use foam brush to seal entire plaque. Let dry.
Step 7 Lightly sand entire surface with fine sandpaper.
Step 8 For a protective finish, spray plaque with two or three coats of spray varnish.

An Orange Combo Amp That Does it All!
Plug into the amazing Orange Rockerverb 50 MkII combo guitar amplifier and take your tone from chiming clean to the searing leads only an all-tube amp can deliver. The Rockerverb 50 MkII gives you two channels, Clean and Dirty, both of which let you dial in your tone your taste. With 50 watts pushing a 12" Celestion speaker, your tone begins with a classic sound few amplifiers can touch. Take it from there with a killer tube-powered effects loop, not to mention the rich glow of the Rockerverb 50 MkII's tube-powered reverb. Onstage or in the studio, you're going to love your Orange Rockerverb 50 MkII combo guitar amplifier.
Killer tone that only an all-tube amplifier can deliver
What makes the Orange Rockerverb 50 MkII combo guitar amplifier so versatile yet so distinctive? Start with the power plant. This 50-watt firebreather comes equipped with three EL34 tubes ("valves," as the Orange folks call them). These tubes are capable of producing pristine clean tones, and they give the Rockerverb 50 MkII a nice, tight growl at high-volume settings. They're perfect for this amp. Of course, if you like to experiment with tones, you can swap them with 6L6, 6550, KT88, or 5881 power tubes. It's your dream amp, only better!
Celestion Vintage 30 speaker delivers the focused sound you need
There's nothing like the sound of a genuine Celestion speaker to put a timeless touch on your tube-amp tone. That's why Orange loaded their Rockerverb 50 MkII 1 x 12" combo guitar amplifier with a real Celestion Vintage 30. This 12" speaker gives you a full range, from chest pounding bass to high-flying treble, and everything in between. Plus, it gives your Rockerverb 50 MkII combo a distinctly classic tube amp sound.
Rich tube-driven reverb plus a tube-powered effects loop
The goodness just keeps gushing out of this Orange! Dial in your favorite helping of the juicy tube-powered reverb and bask in the vibe. With a turn of the reverb control, you can take the Rockerverb 50 MkII from subtle space to sunny surf to downright psychedelia! Add your own effects to the mix via a very transparent tube-powered effects loop. This amp is built to perform on all kinds of stages and in any studio room. You'll wonder how you ever lived without it.
Orange Rockerverb 50 MkII All-tube 1 x 12" Combo Guitar Amplifier Features:
A 50-watt, all-tube combo amplifier that packs a huge range of tone for any modern guitar style
1 x 12" Celestion Vintage 30 speaker delivers classic sound with focused response
2-channel design gives you a killer combination of clean and dirty sound
Volume/treble/middle/bass controls on both Clean and Dirty channels let you sculpt your tone to perfection
Tube-powered reverb and effects loop provide you with great ways of enhancing your tone
Footswitch control for channel selection and reverb gives you excellent on-the-fly options for playing live

Telling the KJB story, within the setting of a Choral Evensong
Sunday, 27 March 2011
Time: 6.30pm
Location: Church of St Mary de Castro, Castle Street, Leicester, Leicestershire, United Kingdom
Organisation: Parish of Saint Mary de Castro, Leicester
Topic: Bible
Three sermons telling the KJB story, within the setting of a Choral 'Prayer Book' Evensong.
These three sermons will be published by the Parochial Church Council of St Mary de Castro, in a booklet, illustrated with photographs. Also, the three sermons will be concatenated into one lecture which can be delivered as an illustrated talk. The incidental music at the services will be excerpts from 'The Messiah', whose libretto was, of course taken from the King James Bible.
St Mary de Castro is an Anglo - Catholic church which uses traditional liturgy. Car parking is available nearby the church. It is 20 minutes walk from the station.
Visitors are invited to bring along their own King James Bibles, for display during the Evensong service.

Brash boxer 'Macho' Camacho dies in Puerto Rico
|FILE - In this March 1, 1997 file photo, Hector Camacho exults as referee Joe Cortez stops the fight with "Sugar" Ray Leonard in the fifth round in Atlantic City, N.J. Hector "Macho" Camacho, a boxer known for skill and flamboyance in the ring, as well as for a messy personal life and run-ins with the police, has died, Saturday, Nov. 24, 2012, after being taken off life support. He was 50. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Abrogast, File)
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Hector "Macho" Camacho was a brash fighter with a mean jab and an aggressive style, launching himself furiously against some of the biggest names in boxing. And his bad-boy persona was not entirely an act, with a history of legal scrapes that began in his teens and continued throughout his life.
The man who once starred at the pinnacle of boxing, winning several world titles, died Saturday back in the Puerto Rican town of Bayamon where he was born, ambushed in a parking lot in a car where packets of cocaine were found.

Antioxidants are very good to your health. One of the primary sources of vitamins and oxidant properties is fruit. Hence, you are advised to eat as many fruits as you can. However, fruits may also contain high level of sugar, which is actually not good to your body is you are dieting. Raspberry is an exception. Have you heard of raspberry ketone? Well, it is a powerful substance that plays vital role in weight loss.
The best raspberry ketones
There are millions of ketones in every raspberry, but if you are going to consume it in raw, then you will not be able to lose weight. It should be processed first to make it an effective weight loss agent. Raspberry ketone works by increasing the oxidation of fat. As a result, your body will burn fats in a faster and efficient way. The best raspberry ketones give your body the right amount of energy so you will feel less fatigue even if you are on a diet.
Can it really help you burn fat?
What raspberry ketone does is that it gives your body the right amount of oxygen to facilitate the fat burning process. Your body will now derive its energy source from the stored fats. Hence, you will have the right amount of energy needed in performing day to day activities while maintaining a trimmer and sexier waistline. It also increases the metabolic activity of the body. So regardless of what you eat, you will be at peace knowing that your body will be able to burn it up.
Do you still need to undergo dieting when taking raspberry ketone?
If you are going to take pure raspberry ketone, then you don't need to change anything in your diet. As mentioned above, regardless of what you eat your body will be able to process it as long as you are taking raspberry ketone. On the other hand, if you really want to speed up the weight loss process, then you can incorporate supplementary measures like engaging in a healthy diet program and exercise.
If you are going to search online, you will find all sorts of weight loss supplements. If you really want the best and cost effective weight loss supplement, then you can never go wrong with raspberry ketone. A lot of people have tried raspberry ketone and they're very much satisfied with the outcome.

Cool. So the optical connector is toslink. I thought it was. I called Sony and they said it didn't have a specific name. When I reminded them that they designed and built the system, they said it was a standard optical cable (getting close....). When I told them that toslink was a very common optical connector, they told me it would work.
I figured I'd ask someone who actually knew what they were talking about.

Honduras: communities demanding real agrarian reforms
The threat of biofuels, the seizure of Honduran agriculture by large multinationals, and the goal of food sovereignty have been central themes in training workshops. Friends of the Earth Honduras is also a member of the multi-organisation agrarian platform coordinated by the Partnership for Agrarian Reform and Food Sovereignty (SARA), participating in the 'Vamos al Grano' (Come to the Point) campaign. Under the banner 'Vamos al Grano', there have been workshops, marches, demonstrations, and sit-ins, focused on promoting real institutional reform, and alerting people to the issue of climate change and its impacts on people and small-scale agriculture.
This collaborative campaign is particularly aimed at persuading Congress to adopt a new 'Law on Comprehensive Agrarian Reform and the Transformation of the Ownership of Natural Resources and Environmental Management'. This aims to promote agriculture that is fairer and more equitable, encouraging the role of smallholders as a means of reducing food insecurity and rural poverty in Honduras. The campaign is also calling on the Honduran government to prioritize means of reducing the negative impacts of climate change on small-scale agriculture.
Another important regional project focuses on the 'Promotion and Preservation of Common Heritage Resources'. This aims to promote the active participation of citizens and communities (especially farmers) in the defence and rescue of biological diversity and cultural development in Central America, focusing on the interaction between climate change, food sovereignty and biodiversity; organic farming; communities' rights; and the recovery of native seeds, with the ultimate goal of creating a seed bank. Honduran communities benefiting from this project are the communities of Santa Ana, Santa Elena and Guajiquiro, in the Department of La Paz.
Since the coup d'etat of June 2009, Friends of the Earth Honduras has joined the demonstrations and mobilisations of the Honduran resistance under the principles of nonviolence, in order to struggle for peace, social and climate justice, and respect for the human rights of the Honduran people and the peoples of Latin America.

November 30, 2012
Another Chicago politician has been indicted, this one for bank fraud after he allegedly burned through hundreds of thousands of dollars that weren't his on casino gambling, car loans and other high-rolling pursuits.
Illinois state Rep. LaShawn Ford, a Democrat, has not been convicted.
Still, blowing cash that isn't yours so you can play Mr. Highlife is almost like saying, "I want to win the Moutza of the Month for November!" Isn't it?
The ancient Moutza has nothing to do with the American finger, but everything to do with taxpayer contempt. And when we hapless taxpaying chumbolones extend our hands to such weasels, we offer the flat of our palms, our fingers spread wide. The Moutza.
"I believe I am innocent of the charges brought against me today," Ford said in a statement Thursday.
That's nice. We believe you, Rep. Highlife.
But we also believe in unicorns with long silvery flowing manes, and little forest imps with hairy feet who go on quests for golden treasure held by the evil dragon Smaug.
Mr. Ford, would you please talk to the hand? It's pointed right at your face. See?
Unfortunately, Ford can't win the coveted November Moutza. In Chicago, the bar has been set too high. These days, an indicted politician must get re-elected, with the support of thousands of moronic voters. It's been done.
But not yet by Mel the Molester.
Former U.S. Rep. Mel "Did I Win the Lotto?" Reynolds, who did prison time on separate bank fraud and sex-with-a-minor charges, wants another chance. He announced this week he's running to succeed the troubled Jesse Jackson Jr. in the 2nd Congressional District.
Standing before a sign that read, "Redemption," Reynolds said: "The fact of the matter is, nobody's perfect."
Here's another fact: When you've been caught on tape talking with your underage lover about taking a 15-year-old Catholic schoolgirl to bed in a threesome, you've got to ask yourself: Who'll want to ask me about my plans for federal revenue enhancement?
No list would be complete without David Petraeus, the former Army general who was forced to resign from his job as CIA director after his affair with his marathon-running, young and trim, and married biographer Paula Broadwell became public. Petraeus reportedly told a friend he "screwed up royally," but also that his wife, Holly, had not yet kicked him out of the house.
Screwed up royally? Is that what you call it?
You call it a double Moutza. Nah! and Nah!
Here comes the Mitt Romney tat guy, Eric Hartsburg, 30, from Michigan City, Ind. He was a Romney supporter who offered to tattoo anything on his face to the highest bidder on eBay and accepted $15,000 to brand himself with the blue and red Romney/Ryan logo.
Now Hartsburg wants to have it removed. This will be done with lasers burning his skin. But here's something worse. The Romney logo clashes with all those attractive chunks of metal sticking out of his lips.
Romney Tat Boy, you really don't need lasers to remove facial piercings. Just pliers. And a hand.
Since we're on the topic of beauty, does the November Moutza go to those American women who've had their pinky toes surgically removed so they can fit into high-fashion high heels?
No. But years from now, perhaps with their families on the beach, they may hear their young daughters say, "Mommy, I'm going to grow up just like you, and get my toes lopped off, too."
Isn't that punishment enough?
Others want a Moutza for Mayor Rahm Emanuel, for raising CTA fares, then telling commuters that if they didn't like it, they could drive and pay for parking. But I can't very well Moutza the mayor and then bring him his Christmas gift, that lovely "The Rahmfather" portrait he covets so much.
You want a mayor to get a Moutza? Mayor Danny Sparks, of Olive Hill, Ky., will do. Arrested on drug-selling charges the other day, he resigned. But he did say he was sorry.
An easy Moutza could go to Cook County Assessor and Democratic boss Joe Berrios, who has more than a dozen relatives on the public payroll and defended it by comparing the situation to the Kennedys.
"Look at a great president that we had, President Kennedy," Berrios told the Chicago Sun-Times. "Who'd he appoint attorney general? You know? Same thing. You're saying Bobby Kennedy wasn't fit for the job? He (JFK) appointed his brother, and in government, people help many people. This is part of the process."
And so is this, Joe: Nah!
Still, Berrios is only doing what the Irish politicians taught him to do: hire his own. They got away with it for years, and they still do, so Berrios can't win the great monthly Moutza.
But there must be a winner, and we've got him: The round mound of the GOP establishment, the Rasputin of the Republican Party, Mr. White Board himself, Karl Rove.
On election night, Rove began babbling on Fox News that Romney would still win even after Fox called it for President Barack Obama. "It's premature!" Rove said. "It's premature to call it for Obama!"
Anyone who watched the Rovian meltdown — and the subsequent scoffing by anchor Megyn Kelly — could see Fox giving him the Moutza.
But doesn't he deserve another? Actually, I just took off my shoes and socks in my office, and I've still got my pinky toes, to give him a quadruple, 20-digit moutza.
Karl Rove, for all you've done, the Moutza of November is here. It's all for you.

He didn't hesitate.
"A single-payer system would definitely be best," Thompson said. "That would eliminate a lot of these problems."
Darrel Ng, an Anthem spokesman, said that buying specialty drugs in bulk and mailing them directly to people's homes will save money.
"We think this is important at a time when businesses and individuals are deciding whether they can afford to continue to maintain health benefits coverage," he said.
This is healthcare as practiced by Gordon Gekko: back-room negotiations and sweetheart deals. It may result in lower costs, but the patient is practically an afterthought in the equation, a line item on a business contract.
And we'll see more of this sort of thing as consolidation continues among healthcare companies, allowing fewer businesses to exert greater control over the market.
CuraScript, for example, is owned by Express Scripts, the country's biggest pharmacy benefits manager. Such companies serve as middlemen in helping insurers and employers handle prescription-drug programs.
Express Scripts acquired rival Medco Health Solutions last year for $29 billion. That deal followed similar buyouts of ValueRx, Diversified Pharmaceutical Services and National Prescription Administrators.
Express Scripts now accounts for almost 1 of every 3 prescriptions written in the United States.
Anthem Blue Cross, meanwhile, is owned by WellPoint, which runs Blue Cross or Blue Shield operations in more than a dozen states.
WellPoint, the country's largest private health insurer, acquired rival insurer Amerigroup for nearly $5 billion in July. Other recent purchases include contact-lens retailer 1-800 Contacts and CareMore, a provider of managed care for the elderly.
So let's return to Liberman's questions. "Who is Anthem to tell me where I have to buy my medicine?" he wanted to know. "Why should I have to buy it from some mail-order company instead of the drugstore that I have been going to for a long time?"
Anthem is a corporate behemoth whose parent earned $2.6 billion in profit last year by managing people's insurance claims while charging as much as possible in premiums and co-pays.
The company is now seeking an average 18% rate hike for more than 630,000 individual policyholders in California, with some customers facing increases of as much as 25%.
Liberman and others who need specialty meds have to use the drugstore of Anthem's choosing because, well, that's in Anthem's best interest. It's likely in the patients' best interest as well, at least as far as costs go.
But Liberman also is correct: Personal choice is important. When it comes to healthcare, nobody should have decisions forced upon them.
What will our healthcare system look like when we have even fewer options for coverage and prescriptions? Think about the cable industry and how that's turned out after decades of consolidation.
Bummer, huh?

PHOENIX, Jan. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- A judge's recent ruling found that there were major problems with blood testing equipment at the Scottsdale Crime Lab (KTVK 3, Scottsdale Crime Lab's faulty machine at center of court battle). The Maricopa County Attorney's Office is now appealing this ruling.
The machine in question was used to test the blood alcohol concentration of thousands of individuals arrested for DUI. The attorneys responsible for discovering the machine's flaw believe that this case effectively disclosed other errors and oversights at Scottsdale's lab.
When asked how many cases were likely processed through the faulty machine, Attorney Craig Rosenstein stated, "Probably north of ten thousand."
The blood test machine was first called into question when attorneys brought challenges against 11 DUI cases. Evidence brought forth in the trial included statements from crime lab staff describing the machine as a "malfunctioning instrument" and a "problem instrument." According to court documents, attorneys even submitted a work order as evidence which indicated that the machine had needed repairs since 2010.
Rosenstein continued, "People accused of a crime were having their blood tested on a broken machine that entire time."
When asked about the blood test machine at trial, one crime lab technician said that it was their belief that the machine has "worked properly and that the results are reliable." The judge believed that there was a major discrepancy in the crime lab's testimony and ultimately ruled that there were major problems with the Scottsdale Crime Lab's blood testing machine.
According to Rosenstein, this situation "certainly calls into question [the crime lab's] credibility."

Born in Bombay, India, Jacqueline Cambata grew up in five countries. Among the international traditions to which she was exposed, the visual storytelling of 16th century Indian Mughal art made a deep and lingering impression. She established Jacqueline Cambata Designs LLC to develop a line of porcelain tableware inspired by the sumptuous style of the Mughal Empire, which at its height stretched from Bangladesh to Kashmir.
In 2008, JACQUELINE CAMBATA DESIGNS launched two collections, Shangri-La and Elephant Shantih, manufactured in Limoges, France, where craftsmen have been making porcelain for kings and queens for centuries. Known for its translucent delicacy, Limoges porcelain epitomizes elegance at the table.
Having grown up in countries where many families lacked the basic necessities of life, Ms. Cambata passionately believes that business can help eliminate global poverty. Microfinance — small uncollateralized loans to village women — is a proven, low-cost way to raise the standard of living in poor regions of the world. A portion of profits from the sale of JACQUELINE CAMBATA DESIGNS porcelain therefore goes to microfinance and its quest for human dignity. Ms. Cambata's commitment to social responsibility includes serving on the boards of several international organizations and non-governmental organizations, in addition to supporting life-affirming causes. As a businesswoman, designer and citizen of the world, Ms. Cambata combines her interests to promote the interconnectedness of humanity.
Lyell Clarke is the President and Chief Operating Officer of Clarke (25 years)
As the third generation Clarke, Lyell's involvement with the Company started long before his official start date in the summer of 1984 as a seasonal employee. Lyell worked at Clarke on a seasonal basis through his high school and college years.
After graduating from Iowa State with his PhD in Entomology, Lyell went into sales as the Products and Equipment Control Consultant for Michigan and Wisconsin. He spent five years in this position before transitioning into Service Sales for Lake and McHenry Counties in Illinois. In 1996, after his father's health began to decline, Lyell was appointed as President of Clarke Mosquito Control.
Today, Lyell operates the business using four protocols adopted by other successful CEOs of major corporations. First, define your customers, second, assess what business you are in and what business you are not in, third, balance the yields of the day with the necessary investments of the future, and last, shape the values and the standards of the organization. This type of strategic thinking has resulted in Clarke's rapid growth from a single service center in Illinois in 1996, to the global products and service provider it is today.
The Company earned the 2006 Loyola Family Business of the Year award. To Lyell, the award recognized the accomplishments of his father, John Clarke, II and symbolized what is possible when you have a strong family unit and a solid extended family of employees.
In October 2008 Clarke held an All Employee meeting. This meeting signaled the beginning of significant change and set the direction for the next generation of Clarke.
Lyell and his wife, Kathy, have been married for 28 years and have four children, Katy, Johnny, Robert, and Joe. Lyell's hobbies include downhill skiing, upland bird hunting and visiting the family farm. Days at the farm include playing with their dogs, Labrador Retrievers - Tank, Wilson, and Sandy. The farm is 90 minutes away from Lyell's home in the suburbs of Chicago. The family practices conservation on the property and have spent countless hours restoring native prairie grasses and establishing wetlands.
A day at the farm is not complete without with one last stop to say goodnight to the "Grandpa Tree", a Bradford Pear the family planted at the entrance of the farm in memory of Lyell's father. After time spent at the farm, Lyell is refreshed and ready to cultivate the innovation, unity, community, and sustainability of the new Clarke.

Using AI, the group held meetings in Jerusalem and at the Carter Center with President Jimmy Carter. David was recognized in 2000 as among "the top ten visionaries" in the field by Training Magazine and in 2004 received ASTD's highest award for "distinguished contribution to the field" of organizational learning.
