I really enjoy reading your stories, you bring so much more to the already well developed characters of Raildex. I also really like Oneeni's character song, may I use your lyrics and turn it into a musical piece if you'll allow me?
| Raineh Daze chapter 51 . 2/2
It only took reading everything for a fourth time but I finally have some idea what Aleister might've stuck in Kuroko. And it wasn't even something that off the wall, since it was said far, far back that there were only two shards of Horus and they were both owned.
I still admire a one-sided fight that took two entire novels to set up all the equipment for.

Finally (smile) took me awhile to finish, -due to length and RL interruptions-, but its done and I have to admit, this was an amazing and dynamic story, 20 out of 10.
| kingpariah chapter 7 . 7/31/2015
Oh wow, this book is turning out as good as the first one.
That anime opening was AWESOME! Everything was fitting and easy to visualize and keep track of.
| Lady Poison Dreams chapter 51 . 5/2/2014
This was an interesting epilogue , with quite valuable information ... after a very touching reunion... well only the background because you didn't show any details , just how Misaka felt in that time (with her super barricade XD).
The most important of the chapter was to know a little more about Aleister , I really didn't expect that was his goal , all what happened and it will happen because just for that , somehow a bit disappointing (knowing that a human being is hiding behind his face ... it's something shocking ) ... I really feel sorry for Kuroko ...
Although I must admit I wasn't expecting to know about Kuroko in whole this thing ... well not directly, but it's really impressive. Not to mention that you managed to explain why Aleister was interested in her first. Fortunately we got Kuroko and Oneeni back yay! I think that's what I liked about the whole chapter, I can only hope that the next book happen all what i missed about KuroMiko moments and of course Oneeni leaving aside the chapter and for to summary this book, only I have to say I'm impressed, I didn't expect the book to last a full year ... full of many original things. Overall it was great to see the way how the situation evolved throughout the book, although this book had more information than the previous book. I also liked how you were improving the action scenes ... I could notice that they were more fluent actions of the characters (and bloodiest XD). Romantic scenes?, well ... they were also much more natural and simple, but i alway can feel " the love in the air" ehem 6:
Of course all the funny scenes ... always they were ready in the best time in order to relax the situation or to make me laugh ... you really are an expert ... :D
On issues of drama type, I found some scenes very fantastic, I must say ... sometimes when you give too much power to the character, and afterward you appease it to conceal the "massive bomb" (final battle or climax) to the end I found it very shocking, but fortunately how you wrote all those scenes helped me to harmonize the material.
Congratulations for a great book and I wish you continue improving your skills, that's always important.
See you in the next book! :D
| Lady Poison Dreams chapter 50 . 5/2/2014
I don't remember where I put "wow" in the begining of my review, but I right now is the best time to say ... "CRAP WOW", I know Kuroko has acquired power in this fic, but fought against the whole faction Kamojou?! A suicidal madness, too many powerful enemies (except Kamijou , who can be easily beaten WITHOUT ANY power hehehehe XD) ... well the fighting was extraordinary, despite some difficulties, most made it to my head, showing me top notch sequences ... but same time I must admit that the scenario was something far removed from the canon, which led me to certain shocks ... but I forgive you because the very "Stu#"$#"$" of the author is not able to give better details (ego and disrespectful mode: oN XD XD).
There were many things I liked in the chapter, for example see Kuroko using all her tools along the fight... it was almost like a dance, in some respects obviously omitting the part where she" kills them all." Also Shiage's attitude despite the critical situation , appealing to her merciful side and his faith in the girl who saved him before ... no matter if he finished as a miserable coward for his girl ehem X3. And ironically when she facing Kamijou, including the fun part of "bare punch against metal" (oooo so clever monkey! maybe next time you can try to stick your hands into the fire to see if you don't burn XD) I imagined his spine shivering hahahaha like a cartoon , of course the discussion between his views wasn't bad ... with sadness under all circumstances I agree with Kamijou, but I admit that the way in which Kuroko countered his ideas was quite interesting , especially the part of "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth "(" I cannot sit here watching you hurt my friends " ... ehm but hey, they attacked me first ... in that part I imagine his face ... O_o SHIT ! we are the bad guys !) .
Of course there were times very serious too , as when she dropped the helmet ... I couldn't help feeling sorry for Misaka to such irony (that time... only that time) ... or when Kuroko was fully prepared to kill Kamijou ... I understand that the temptation is VERY BIG but between concern ( excitement , joy ) and suspense of whether she would do it with Misaka in the same place made me feel very nervous (well it's a overstated what I said, also i was saying do it do it do it 3) ... ! But thanks to Misaka (damn it 3) the tension low drastically whe she intervene and she finally admit her feelings ... but the answer is not as expected ... poor Kuroko . All that ended with an entirely mystical and sinister end and for what ? ... "Change the dirty diaper "
In summary a very complete episode, you really manage to convey many emotions to the reader ... really excellent work despite the sad ending D:
Take care!
PS: What was that feeling Awaki felt and she hidden in her thoughts, maybe when she fought Kuroko?
PS2: and where is Misaki at the time?, maybe she's doing a "rapidito" (or two) with Avon in a luxury hotel hahahaha XD
PS3: This chapter had many ironies, one of them was like Kuroko did the same thing that Oneeni ...to save her loved one (seriously, the action was almost the same XD) and the other was Kuroko finally got what she wanted in previous episodes but sadly in a moment that she didn't want to ... sometimes you are a very, very bad girl with characters , don't you? 6:
PS4: This is the second one ... second dragon that Kuroko couldn't kill ...
| Lady Poison Dreams chapter 49 . 5/2/2014
I know you said this, but as a fan I guess I have some benefits when writing a review, so ... Wow I didn't expect this chapter here, after all the war ... maybe it kills the thread in the story, but at the same time after the facts we know, serves like a comparative parallel.
I quite liked the chapter even though there is no progress in the story, but greatly satisfying my curiosity XD. I'll start by saying I don't feel sorry for Misaka ... but at least her thoughts were properly addressed during the chapter (especially with that erotic dream 6 :).
Another thing that i really loved was how you guide Misaka's feelings for Kamijou, of a way more natural than light novel ... from my point of view, I think it's possible to have admiration feelings for his heroism shown to some situation more than romantic feelings ... well it never lacks the typical crush on first sight, but given the interactions between them, it is clearly no romantic interest by Kamijou ... and for other side Kuroko, well I agree that the word sexy isn't for her , and I can agree with "cute", especially when she is showing her vulnerable side (80% cuter * o *).
Of course, the last part left me frozen ... to fight against Aleister?! somehow it sounds insane and now with this topic about "black knight" i can deduct a little fraction of what it will happen next ... certainly something too ironic.
I'm quite intrigued with the final chapters and thanks to my super delay I can read it whole together hehehe 6:. Well this chapter was very good and reflective ... ideal for changing the switch after so much war , information and action.
Take care !
PS : I admit I missed quite Saten with her jokes ... and even though her involvement was minimal in the chapter, she managed to make me laugh a lot XD
PS2 : Misaka... again? ... you haven't learned anything with that damn sentence: "She can take care of herself . "... you forgot what happened last time when you said that !
PS3 : Kuroko can kick Kamijou's ass in different ways and Kuro can disarm him like a puzzle ... I loved that hehehehe XD
PS4 : Mental image of her wedding ... to die laughing at the presence of her Sisters XD hehehe ... less Oneeni TTxTT ( shit and I feel sad again)
| Lady Poison Dreams chapter 48 . 5/2/2014
Finally, I believed that i would die in ignorance before the war ended ... but I'm glad that something ... something stays into my head hehehehe. Well the episode starts with the presentation of the real villain hidden under all this war in Russia ... I must say that when I read the name of Rasputin I was shocked and very fascinated by your always good research on character ... excellent detail and organization of material to contextualize in history ... one of your best qualities when integrating external material (good job girl XD), although I must say it gave me a bit of nostalgia because you made me think of the disney movie (Anastasia) XD if even i listened to a song the movie hehehehe.
Something I really liked was seeing as Kuroko met Prizrak and their fighting ... despite Kuroko's state ... loses all her shine when she is in her zombie mode (curse you Misaka with all my strength , although I must say that in this state Kuroko reminds me to Berserker from Fate/zero, thus fighting! d) ... but I laughed with Prizrak strategy to focus Kuroko's attack path ...
Finally the final confrontation, which I think was a classic to classic, with Rasputin's evil monologue included XD and the hopeful message, hidden in Kuroko's armor (officially she is a mobile radio XD) before a short but intense fight... I was impressed with the whole scene and for a moment I thought Kuroko would die until that I remembered about three chapters missing XD. Fortunately all ended with the joy of all except for Kuroko, I really hope you can fix this problem before the end of Book 6:
I was a very long and intense chapter, but I really loved your details.
Take care!
PS: Raputin in an acid bath, in some way it's a little sinister the punishment hehehehe (and the worst thing is I'm laughing at the thought P: )
PS2: A strong between lines ... for a side she is compelled to save Kamijou ... Aleister is a piece of shit as I hated him with all my being and on the other side she had to destroy a representation of something that insults your unbelief ... it was very ironic for her, especially the meaning behind of that moment.
| Lady Poison Dreams chapter 47 . 5/2/2014
Wow ... this chapter was a very versatile for me, I didn't understand some situations and maybe that made me down a bit my enthusiasm, but I guess the essence is important thing (thinking about a particular girl ... essence :D ...). I liked the way how you wrote the situation of Kuroko, you showed her situation since a the outside perspective... well after the first part, the moment you used to guide us in this chapter..
Personally I get depressed quite see how Kuroko fight that way so ... suicide especially when she rescued Tabigake ... it really wasn't the best impression to her future father in law (bad Kuroko, first rule is not to worry about fashion things over your limbs of body D:).
Poor Misaka's dad, he naively believes his daughter isn't to blame ... (curse you Misaka /!) ... but anyway ... Soon we reach the end, it really excites me to know about the topic of this third war and if Kuroko participate in front lines instead of being an secret agent acting from the shadows.
I really liked the comment of Ivan to Prizrak: "you have unleashed a demon upon us" and Prizrak says with a troll face: "i'm sorry but … I'm a buddhist" hahahaha really funny and the other thing in the last part ... who the hell that this mystery man?, will be a character invented or pertaining to the original work?
Take care and I sorry for the short review 6:
PS: Birini Misuzu? ... that's her real maiden name ... or it was some kind of joke relating with Misaka nicknamed "biri biri"
PS2: It was amazing to imagine all that action with your detailed descriptions, really wow :O, it lacked only the music in my head, it was like a zombie destroying everything ... Kuroko seems to be possessed ... A DAMN ZOMBIE POSSESSED!.
| Lady Poison Dreams chapter 46 . 5/2/2014
I feel very sad (and to read the chapter with the song "Tatta hitotsu no houhou" didn't help me much D:) ... why this happened?!, It's unfair, I really liked Oneeni she was a wonderful character, much better than the original ... why, but why did she have to die?! and of that way so raw and instantly, without a goodbye ... well ... the only consolation was she died for her important girl (and she massacred whole group of bastards) ...
When I read the chapter, I thought "what kind of mission will be this time?" for a moment I thought it would be an routine episode, but after tremendous scene ... I discovered how naive I was and very bad thankful, I never missed you so much a routine episode as at this time. I hope you don't misinterpret what I'm saying, I have enjoyed pre episodes, but always when the "argument" is repeated over time becomes a bit monotonous ... but I guess that didn't happen in this story.
Objectively the chapter was pretty good, emotional from beginning to end despite idiots like Marshall and Aiwass, they really enjoy teasing Kuroko ... but the last part really shocked me... the meaning behind Kuroko's words, to waive her life ... use the battlefield in order to die, really unfortunate.
Mmm I can understand why you were always warning us and I really appreciate it ... and yet I cannot be upset with you, because I'm pretty sure you've been the most affected by this ... connect with the characters that you create show a great passion and commitment with their work and that is very admirable.
An excellent chapter, full of deep feelings that reach readers.
Take care
PS: It is very true what you said about Kamijou, that idiot hits the bad guy and then he neglects with bad guy future actions, not even he calls anti-skill (if the guy is an esper) ...
PS2: But what the hell was that thing that came out of the rosary!?
| Lady Poison Dreams chapter 45 . 5/2/2014
Ok... I have to admit this chapter was hard to read to me, really when there is great detail I get lost easily and reading becomes a bit boring for me (curse my deep ... # $ # D:) ... well despite my limitation ... i could enjoy some things. First the small moments of Kuro and Oneeni ... quite short, but full of deep meanings especially in the moment where the fic is ... almost like the old war films ...
How ever a complex strategy to solve an equally complex situation, trying to give the best result for Kuroko ... that's very impressive and also a little fantastic, from my point of view ... sometimes I think a little of the irony of this situation ... "to be able to save so many people and not being able to save herself," just sad (sigh) ... well i hope everything better, or I want to believe that, after I read Kuro optimism when she saw how Shiro intervenes in the situation. A really amazing scene (Shiro I miss you too! TTxTT). An interesting work leaves me with more suspense.
Take care!
PS: Marshall you're a son of bitch what kind of joke was that acronym?! ... I'm glad Kuro hit him, but she have to hit his mouth instead his stomach
PS2: Oneeni, cute but naive girl ... Don't you know you can say "I love you" with your eyes as well? (sees with eyes of love imagining the person I love) especially a sexy wink (kitten meow XD!)
PS3: I liked the Kuro gave priority to her actions ... to do something against her nature for Shiro... it was really touching, even though in the end she gave in to her limitations ...
| Lady Poison Dreams chapter 44 . 5/2/2014
Well afterward a long break (my big lie of the day 6:), I finally can reading. When I knew about a new mission, I must admit I felt a bit of disappointment... too many and complicated explanations came to my head ... besides I thought after so many missions maybe you 'd fall in the monotony ... I was wrong, very wrong and it was a real relief.I quite liked that you add humor fact in the chapter because it cooled the situation and explanations especially when they reach action scene ... I couldn't stop laughing when i imagined Kuro being interrupted by Oneeni and her capricious pouts ... super cute, adding Elizard phrase to kill passions hahahahaha XD.
Something that surprised me was Elizard's attitude... i didn't expecting such intentions at the end of episode ... it changed my way see her in a second ... from a friendly and relaxed queen, to a selfish bitch ... well because of she's bad ... the misfortune happens, making me laugh again (seriously a sword in each arm, only two possibilities how did she choose the wrong option?! ... if it's such an important sword must emphasize enough hehehehe Elizard needs glasses and tablets to the memory 3) ... definitively the best between lines :3.
It is changing the theme and mood ... I was worried about Kuroko, her fighting style was reckless and very suicidal, her depression worse and when she refused to change with Kuro could be a fatal decision ... by the way, why Shiro must kiss Oneeni to change Kuro Kuro? ... before Kuro could change herself automatically ... that confused me a lot ._.'' . I hope Kuroko comes back to normal soon ... such depression is making me feel sad too ... not to mention the situation doesn't improve, this really doesn't give me good vibes.
Take care!
PS: Oneeni and Kuro need more lovey-dovey moments… that's the only within much violence and war D:…
PS2: Laura's face when she saw Kuroko took the sword and then ridden the horse... it was hilarious... especially to imagined her actions with that loooong hair (tangled mode:on)
| Lady Poison Dreams chapter 43 . 2/12/2014
Wow um, I think it was an intense chapter, I mean to defeat and enclose a full guild only to support and follow the events of the light novel, that was ... a lot of work. _. (but someone has to do it :D). I really don't know how to start ... I hope you don't misunderstand me it was interesting reading, very much and to read as Kuroko and Oneeni kick ass always make my day, but I think it was too much... I say two girls against a full guild is not a favorable prognosis and despite the exceptional strategy and teamwork... i think the situation was somewhat forced.
First... I don't know much about the light novels , but I know that recently appeared Othinus (speaking concretely :3) in the texts , and that you 've made her with GREMLIN's issue, it was an unexpected touch , but good.. very good 3 . Then analyzing the coolest scenes (for me 6:) , Ollerus's scene and how he was persuaded to assist in the plan was funny and somehow to imagine Kuro is performing the strategy "guilty feeling " was hilarious (she hadn't to put a puppy eyes for change his mind :D).
Something I didn't expect was Misaki's assist so soon and without Birdy D: ( noooooo I wanted to see Birdy sniff sniff ) she really helped a lot to the mission , especially controlling Ollerus (he was a guide, a decoy and puppet, in the same packet hehehehe poor and naive magician 6:) ... also when Kuro confesses Misaki about her lack of immunity against Mental out , hell , I hope it has not been a bad idea and I don't mean because I think Misaki is a bad woman ehem ehem XD . And above all I really didn't expect Shiro's (momentary) return for to save the day and suffer from a tragic irony .. why she must also kiss Oneeni to switch to Kuro too ?! , not supposed to Kuro could change herself!
Definitely a chaotic chapter, but I quite liked the initial fightings, the ambush, "was very police outlaw" with a set of movements and well developed strategies (to imagine magician's faces, when their powers aren't effective, really made me laugh a lot XD) ... and also, I must admit it was very creative all you wrote about countermeasures for different magicians, very clever ;).
I just hope after this chapter Shiro's back and the situation improves a bit D:, especially after making such works.
Take care!
PS: The best part was: Kuro between boobs XD: "Yeah. Just hold onto me, you too Oneeni." She said. The Queen nodded and stepped forward, embracing Kuroko. Oneeni took this as a sign to do the same to the other side. "I meant the hand. Grab onto my hand" hahahaha no matter how many i read it, still makes me laugh hahaha XD
| Lady Poison Dreams chapter 42 . 2/12/2014
I will start with the same sentence as the previous review ... "It has been a long time since I read a chapter that was so" ... romantic, I really missed them, officially you made my day XD ... Well, I think before my fangirls mode be "on" I think should start with general things.
When I started reading the chapter I thought, "I think I'll have problems again," because I knew nothing about Ollerus and Silvia and though I investigated...I think it was useless, I didn't win any relevant knowledge of them w hahaha.
The "fight" scene where Kuro and Oneeni show their superiority, left me with a "WTF face" O.o ! when Ollerus obediently says his message and pays the fines, it was so funny hahaha (especially with Kuro wearing her armor XD) of course my WTF face is wider when I read the discussion about Gemstone ... all Ollerus's fuss and determination just for a girl says something and she disarmament whole his argument XD
Fortunately then the chapter continues with the best one, "the date". Personally I give Oneeni 100% in this episode, from beginning to end, she was completely wonderful : first she showed deep concern for the Sisters , so altruistic and pure ... but also she showed her " altruistically selfish" side too when she ordering not to reveal anything about her and Kuro, only to Misaka don't be with Kuroko . I know it is "bad"( big lie XD *) but somehow I canbot disagree with it ... because unlike Misaka Oneeni unconditionally loves Kuro ( Kuroko ) (it is fair Oneeni be happy with her! XD) . Of course what happens next is much better 6: a date with five stars though it killed Kuroko's pocket XD, but she was rewarded with her custom tur to all the places she wanted to visit , thanks to her knight Oneeni (it so classic watch Kuro as the knight , so a change of roles is always good, thank you very much Oneeni :3 ) ... but what led me to heaven was the the dance on the roof , that scene accompanied by the song " Ai wa Toki no " was a perfect mix (for me) : D.
A wonderful chapter, I have to say it with enthusiasm because it really was a very, very good read.
Take care!
PS: To Imagine Kuro wearing her armor, knocking on the door and saying "Hello Ollerus. I come from Academy City. I'm here to Ensure you pay for your crimes "other Wtf ... hahahahaha
PS2: Oneeni is so considerate, she gives Kuro a beautiful scarf with Kuro's money XD.
PS3: An assault, always adds a touch of adrenaline in a date, although in this case was humor too "mind taking care of them Oneeni?" HAHAHA good one Kuro in heels. 3
Ps4: where are you Kuroko ?!
| Lady Poison Dreams chapter 41 . 2/12/2014
It has been a long time since I read a chapter that was so hard to understand (for me x) . When it talks of governments, I lose in the detail, because I don't understand, plus some information belongs to the light novel ... I guess that caused that I couldn't enjoy the chapter as I want.
Of course everything wasn't bad for me , something interesting and I quite liked "see" during the chapter was how you read the moments before the meeting, giving small pieces of information with actions and interactions gave us a fairly enjoyable read , even in the meeting. Marshall's constant games against Kuroko (and I don't say just by the papers footballs 6:), that calmed the tension (at least for the reader, Kuroko wanted kill him XD). Another thing very nice was that the main character during the meeting wasn't Kuroko . Itora changed drastically the typical atmosphere that Kuroko gives this fic (a logic environment , but full of self-sacrifice and self-criticism, all with the goal of always seeking a utopian solution to the problems ) to a other side more real in drafting and analytical. Of course everything weren't information, you're very good mixing different "environments" in order to create something supplemented ... in this chapter were; first a cute moment between Oneeni and Kuro ... pretty short, that make it so clever. After an entire chapter dedicated to their dynamics, to write a moment with the same intense may fall a little repeated, so good job with the subtleties : 3 and the second one was Avon, Queen, this moment satisfies the needs of the fans to see something romantic in the chapter and of course not always have to be Kuroko , or not? hehehehe.
Well even though I didn't understand a lot information, understand the subtleties of very good written scenes ... that's enough to have a good read (Fan mode: ON) ;P
Take care!
PS: The best part of the chapter: "Avon was one of Those People who thought That hard work was an important thing to help one learn Mental discipline and all that nonsense." "nonsense" XD hahaha what the hell?! that word is a good way for kill a good lesson XD
PS2: Misaki's bear hug for one side disconcerting, but for another side it's so nice see that their interactions better. I think they have a pretty good dynamic. 3
PS3: It's good to know Birdy will back again :3!

In response to yesterday's "Tokugawa's Generals, and Being a Great Follower," I wrote that greatness is something you define for yourself. I asked, what's your definition of greatness, then? We can think about it. The reader clarified -
I wrote down a list of great men and realized what I meant by greatness. Glory, recognition by other human beings. From conquerors, to musical virtuosos, the great men are those that are supported by the wave of existing people. Great men are those who did something that is today recognized as valuable. Great men are those that are known by "everyone". That is how I think fame should be seen. That is how I am seeing it as of now.
Something that jumps to the eyes is that it requires other people. If you are great then at least someone must be not great. I guess being successful in life is different from being great. If living a successful life is minimally having 2 kids with more opportunities than you had and a strong family then once achieved, your are successful. Greatness I think could be seen as recognized success. Perhaps self-recognized success can make you see yourself as great...
If everyone is successful and recognize that their success and others are great, then everyone is great, hence no one is great. (or otherwise said, to my belief, the word "great" loses value as "awe-some" did) Well that is how I see it. Everyone is successful in something, not all are The Great. Where were the risk-taking warriors? As I now understand, they were fearful. Then again I suppose they had to stop someday throne or no throne. Having acquired the belief that to rebel is a bad ROI.
So do you think that achieving greatness by being a follower is possible? if so how? (following the definition I gave)
Interesting, interesting response here...
"I wrote down a list of great men and realized what I meant by greatness."
But let's the criteria you wrote down, I'm going to add numbers to them:
1. Glory, recognition by other human beings.
2. From conquerors, to musical virtuosos, the great men are those that are supported by the wave of existing people.
3. Great men are those who did something that is today recognized as valuable.
4. Great men are those that are known by "everyone".
First, I think all four of what you listed - glory and recognition by other people, support by a wave of existing people today, enduring recognize that what you did is valuable, and being known by everyone - this sounds to me like you're looking for lasting renown - that's what I'd call it.
Certainly, it's achievable. The first thing that occurs to me is a point from Paul Graham's essay "How to Make Wealth" -
Few technologies have one clear inventor. So as a rule, if you know the "inventor" of something (the telephone, the assembly line, the airplane, the light bulb, the transistor) it is because their company made money from it, and the company's PR people worked hard to spread the story. If you don't know who invented something (the automobile, the television, the computer, the jet engine, the laser), it's because other companies made all the money.
I think that quote contains most of the answer for you - stories spread when there's ongoing value to spreading them. Eventually they can reach the state of mythology and spread themselves, but note - there's been a lot of excellent generals, musicians, leaders, inventors, and innovators in history who aren't remembered.
It's a function of a few things. If your side loses or doesn't endure, you're much less likely to be remembered, regardless of your contributions. Who was Shibata Katsuie's top officer after Nobunaga's death, when he was fighting Hideyoshi? A number of Hideyoshi's officers are well-known... but Katsuie's?
Well, he lost.
So, losing is a bad idea, generally speaking. Of course, we already knew that.
But that's not just in war - that's in anything. An enduring artistic movement will, generally speaking, have more artists remembered as great than a fleeting tradition. This isn't just about the success of the movement itself, but also its popularity after it's not practiced as much. Which brings us to a second generally good piece of advice - choose your allegiances carefully.
I think there's quite a few people in the world who would dislike your ambition for fame and renown. They'd say, "Who is this jerk that wants to be known as 'great'?"
But, y'know, I think a lot of people think something like that at some part of their lives. "The Denial of Death," the Pulitzer Prize winning nonfiction, goes on to say that we're all striving against death in some way or other. Looking to be remembered for greatness would be one such way. Lots of people think about this at various parts of their lives, but most people don't say. It invites criticism and hostility. So, I appreciate your honesty.
But what really encourages me is your third point - "Great men are those who did something that is today recognized as valuable."
I sometimes wonder about this. Deng Xiaoping was one of the greatest statesmen of the last 100 years, but Mao is still on all the Chinese money. Will the record be set straight about who really built China?
Rather than sing Deng's praises, I'll just quote Brad DeLong:
"And in 1978 China had its first piece of great good luck in a long, long time--perhaps the first time some important chance broke right for China since the end of the Song Dynasty. China acquired as its paramount ruler one of the most devious and effective politicians of this or indeed any age, a man who was quite possibly the greatest human hero of the twentieth century: Deng Xiaoping. Deng sought to maintain the Communist Party oligarchy's control over China's politics while also seeking a better life for China's people, and he is guided by two principles: (i) be pragmatic ("what matters is not whether the cat is red or white, what matters is whether the cat catches mice), and (ii) be cautious ("cross the river by feeling for the stones at the bottom of the ford with your feet")"
...but Mao's still on all the currency and has all the statues of him up...
To answer your question then -
Yes, it is certainly possible for someone who is a "follower" as you say to achieve lasting renown. It would be easier if your side or movement or affiliation wins and endures for a long period of time. Choose your side wisely, and fight hard.
Then, look to participate in great works and contribute immense amounts of value, such that it will be remembered when reflected on. You might consider reading about Lorenzo Medici for some ideas on how to participate in building lasting value beyond the limits of your own talent - by facilitating other people to make beautiful and permanent great works, that will probably help with your renown.
But the final, probably most important point - what value is there for others in sharing your story?
As Paul Graham talks about - when you know who an inventor is, it's usually because his company marketed him and benefited from his story.
So I suppose I'm answering my own question about Mao - Mao's on the Chinese money not because he's the greatest leader in modern China (not by a longshot), but because his story offers kind of a mythology about it. Mao established most of that mythology himself through his methods, and now it benefits people to carry on with it and harness it. Mao's exact principles are pretty much dead in China - but his image has continual value, so it lives on.
Whereas currently, lionizing Deng Xiaoping has less value for the leadership. He has a mixed record of popularity - while economists and educated people generally regard him as one of the most brilliant Chinese leaders in a very long time, his modernizations were incredibly unpopular with a number of people.
So to answer your question - certainly, it's possible to achieve what you're looking to achieve. It'll be more likely if your side wins and endures. You will need to undertake some great works, and contribute a lot. But I think the final piece of the puzzle is figuring out how your story spreading will benefit others. If there's value to people in spreading your story, it will be spread. If there's no value in spreading your story, it won't be spread.
You have your lifetime to do your works and establish momentum, but also think on what use your name and story can be after your death. As with anything, incentives matter - if people gain by spreading your story, it becomes likely to spread. If no gain, unlikely.
Final thought - if you are going to be serving under someone else's command, or following someone who blazes the trails first - pick someone who is known for elevating and celebrating the people around them. I can't codify it exactly, but clearly some leaders elevated people around them, and their whole circle of associates gets known well. Other leaders absorb all of the renown of their cause, and their colleagues and officers and friends are forgotten. If you want renown for yourself, look for a leader who glorifies the people around him. I think that's generally a good practice for leaders to do anyways, but sometimes they don't do it... perhaps out of vanity? Or perhaps their personality is too overwhelming, thus muting the people around them?
Recap -
1. Be on the winning side.
2. Have your side endure.
3. Thus, pick your side carefully and then do what it takes to make your side win and endure.
4. Do great works, contribute a lot.
5. What value is there to others in spreading your story? (If you can't answer this, the other ones alone won't contribute to renown - this is necessary for stories to spread)
6. Generally associate and serve people who credit those that they work with, and glorify and lionize and celebrate their friends and colleagues and associates.
Good questions, good discussing - cheers.
I went back and reread the blog and realized that you were focusing on contemporary greatness not what future generations would think so I think my comments are somewhat irrelevant. My apologies.
Well I know I'm in the minority on this one. But I think the world ends when I die and consequently my actions are not concerned with or greatly shaped by future remembrances. I'm selfishly into immediate gratification or at least some type of praise/recognition during this lifetime. Karma and reincarnation are a little too vague and light on scientific proof. to influence me in a meaningful way.
Another good post. And I agree with a lot of it. However, it doesn't take ethics into consideration. Be on the winning side... Castro has been on the winning side for many years, but I would never join him; I'd rather die unknown. There's another, more obvious example, but mentioning him here would only increase his recognition.
Another point: great doesn't always mean good, in general. Alexander the Great was a great man (as per his title!), but did his war-like ways make him good? That one's debatable.
You may want to do a follow up on how being great doesn't always mean good. You just gotta win...
A few days ago, I wrote an open letter to a good friend of mine - "I Think Greatness is Something You Are, Not Something You Do" - I said to him, I'm not a great man, just a normal man working on great things. Greatness is something you do, not something you are.
To give you some background, my friend Brendon is just one of the most amazingly good people in the world. He takes care of everyone around him, his mind, body, and spirit are sharp. He's a black belt, an excellent programmer, a philosopher, a Shodan in Go (actually, even stronger than that - he's a Shodan under the Asian rankings, so probably even higher in America), a hard worker, extremely loyal, a clear and free thinker, widely read and knowledgeable, and again - an amazingly good guy. I've learned a lot from him (notably, he taught me how to play Go, sysadmin Linux, understand basketball at a very high level, improve at martial arts, improve my fitness, and other good stuff - we'd usually go drink green tea and play Go at Samurai Restaurant in Boston, go fight in the park, talk philosophy out at nightclubs, do stuff like that).
He wrote back to me about greatness and humility. I think this is a really beautiful piece, so I asked him if I could gently edit it and put it up. He graciously agreed. It's long, but go ahead and just start it and give it whatever time you have - there's a lot of amazing insight in here.
A Quick Favor Request - if you learn from this or it helps you, please send Brendon a quick email to email@example.com - he was actually a little gun-shy about having such a personal piece put up with such raw power in it. He only agreed when I told him how many people it could help - so please, drop him a short line to say thanks if this teaches you as much as it did me.
Without further ado...
Back when I was gambling professionally, it seemed like everyone had an opinion on which casino was rigged. I never really thought that, but I also didn't really think that I was winning as much as I was supposed to. To test this, I recorded every single session I played for over a year. Guess what? I was within a fraction of one percent from where I was supposed to be statistically. I learned that not only were the casinos not rigged, I wasn't very good at mentally aggregating lots of independent events.
I think that in real life, we all have a natural inability or unwillingness to accept that we generally receive what we deserve. Before I get into this, though, I'll say that it definitely isn't true all of the time. I offer the idea here just a useful tool and framework, not to pass judgement. For example, I know people who have lost close family members, people who have been raped, and people who have been affected by other horrible things. I don't think that they deserve those things or earned them in some way. I think they're an unfortunate side effect of the chaos and variance of life, which is otherwise a good thing.
When I was around twenty, I knew for a fact that I would become rich by the age of twenty-five. Twenty five was really old and I knew that I was special, so it made perfect sense to me that I'd be rich by then. I put in a moderate amount of effort, and made moderate progress towards my goal, but didn't really even close. When I turned twenty five, I was at least a little bit surprised that I wasn't a millionaire yet.
I'm still not a millionaire, but I'm not surprised about it anymore. I've seen people work harder than me and work smarter than me and become rich. I've seen the dedication it takes, and I've seen how that compares to what I have typically put in.

GSD Course Bulletin - Fall 2010
This term's information was last refreshed on 08 MAY 2015 15:47:51.
Courses taught by Michael Hooper
01121: First Semester Core Urban Planning Studio (STU 0112100)
Urban Planning and Design
Core Studio - 8 credits
Tuesday Thursday 2:00 - 6:00
Judith Grant Long, David Gamble, Michael Hooper, Joyce Klein-Rosenthal, David Mah, Kathy Spiegelman
Course Description
The first semester core studio of the Master of Urban Planning program introduces students to the fundamental knowledge and technical skills used by urban planners to create, research, analyze, and implement plans and projects for the built environment. The studio operates in conjunction with GSD 3329: Methods of Urban Planning, which introduces students to spatial analysis through GIS; visual representation techniques; projections and forecasts in plan-making, including how demographic, economic, and market forecasts inform land use and infrastructure needs assessments; how alternative land use scenarios are constructed, including approaches to allocating land use, estimating carrying capacity, and build-out analyses; and evaluation of land use impacts through fiscal, economic, social, environmental, and transportation frameworks. The studio is organized into four parts, each representing a fundamental stage of the urban planning process. Part 1 explores the importance of ideas and the process of generating ideas for urban planning. Students test various approaches to and sources of creative thinking, how they link to urban planning outcomes, and techniques for recording and representing ideas. Part 2 explores research skills used by urban planners to understand and analyze the built environment. Students become familiar with common sources of data, both spatial and non-spatial, as well as key methods of data collection, description, and analysis. Part 3 explores the making of plans for the built environment at all scales. Using the creative and research skills developed in Parts 1 and 2 of the studio, students prepare functional urban plans, ranging in site scales from region to city to neighborhood to site. Students learn about land use categories, associated building types, infrastructure requirements, open space needs, and other aspects of physical plans. Basic site planning skills are developed for smaller-scale, project-based interventions. Part 4 explores how to implement urban plans. Students develop specific implementation strategies and craft their associated tools, such as zoning text and maps, phasing plans, and stakeholder participation processes to implement plans. Students are introduced to several important implementation techniques, including development approval/denial processes, stakeholder analysis and public participation, financing systems, and phasing schemes. Prerequisites: Enrollment in the Urban Planning program
05335: Participation in Planning and Development: Theory and Practice (SES 0533500)
Urban Planning and Design
Seminar - 4 credits - Limited enrollment
Friday 1:00 - 4:00 7 Sumner 104
Michael Hooper
Course Description
Examines the theory and practice of participatory planning and governance, drawing on developing and developed country experience. The seminar begins by briefly looking at the history and rationale for participation in planning, drawing on historical examples and differing philosophical perspectives. The bulk of the seminar will then focus on how participation is played out on the ground. The seminar will examine whether participation improves project outcomes in a variety of settings (and, if so, how). It will also explore the varieties of participation encountered in planning and development - from grassroots mobilization to global movements. It will discuss the rise of civil society and the apparent limits of this concept. The seminar will also examine innovations in participatory planning and governance, with an eye towards the role that new technologies and forms of social organization can play in fostering and shaping participation.

I do still have the blue flame Oracle. I paid $1500 ($1500 used of course). I'd be looking at getting something very close to that price. I don't need the money, I just have way too many guitars. I don't need to tell you how rare any Signature guitar is--- only about 500 made total for all models. Thanks, Johnny
Signature Bass
Is anyone in possession of a Signature Bass? I recently purchased an un-used Sig Bass, apparently made during the Signature era '87 - '90. This thing is spotless. Just want more info.

The British government has been accused of dragging its feet
over reforms to the pub industry after it rejected calls from
opposition politicians to commit to new laws forcing big pub
firms to treat tenants fairly.
In the UK, where almost half of the 50,000 pubs are run by
tenants on closely controlled terms with landlords, many pubs
have been forced to shut due to small margins and fierce
competition from much cheaper supermarkets. Latest figures
show 26 pubs are closing every week.
Lawmakers want a code backed by law to prevent firms with 500
or more tenanted pubs like Enterprise Inns, Greene King and
Punch Taverns from abusing the "beer tie", under which such
pubs are forced to buy beer from the firms who hold their
leases, often at high prices.
To ensure fair beer prices and also rent, an adjudicator
would be appointed with powers to fine.
The Conservative-led coalition government outlined proposals
for such a code last April and launched a public consultation
whose outcome is now months overdue.
The opposition Labour Party on Tuesday criticised ministers
for acting too slowly and called for them to pledge to
introduce the laws before the May 2015 general election.
"For all the warm words expended on the floor of this house
and elsewhere, still, in legal terms, nothing has changed,"
Labour pubs spokesman Toby Perkins told a parliamentary
"It seems that no evidence is good enough for them to
recognise the reality of what people are seeing in their
The government said it agreed on the need for reforms, but
that it would not commit to new laws until it had digested
the findings of its consultation, which closed later than
planned in December.
"There is no attempt to kick this into the long grass. We're
trying to do this properly," Business Minister Vince Cable
He said any decisions would be based on the outcome of the
consultation and that he could not second-guess the
government's response to it.
While the government says the code would save tenants 100
million pounds ($164 million) in total a year, Enterprise has
argued it would lead to reduced investment, resulting in
increased pub closures and shutting off the industry to new
entrants seeking a low cost way to enter the market.
Greene King, which has the majority of its 1,200 pubs run on
a beer-tie agreement, has warned that if the code became too
costly it could reduce the number of its tenanted pubs to
become exempt from the regulation.

Just something I came up with from what was in the house and the ground chicken that was on sale at the store. I put it warm over lettuce the first night and rice the next. Its nothing special just simple and easy. It also makes a lot so if your like me and like to have easy meals to freeze for those nights that cooking sounds like way to much work this is great.Submitted by POLAROASIS

I can't take credit for this recipe, as it is originally from Weight Watchers Simply Delicious cookbook. I changed it slightly in that I use boneless/skinless chicken breast in favor of a bone-in variety. Personally, I prefer a little less vinegar and a tad more mustard, but you can play around with the recipe to your taste preference.Submitted by CHRSTINAG

Help Edneyville stop outdoor range
Published: Friday, October 10, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 9, 2008 at 6:45 p.m.
To The Editor: Our state is turning against us. Our Department of Justice, that we rely on to protect us from fraud, scams, and injustice, is instead violating our rights. They are destroying the value of local property in Edneyville by building an outdoor range in the heart of our community.
This outdoor range is being built in an area not zoned for it, and in violation of our county requirements for an outdoor range.
It is being built in spite of a unanimous resolution by our county commissioners that the range be built indoors or in a more appropriate location.
It is being built in spite of opposition from the community.
It is being built despite the request by members of our countys Edneyville Community Advisory Committee.
We understand that all county procedures for building such a facility are being bypassed.
With shooting planned 14 hours a day, six days a week, how can people continue to live there? People that own their homes will have to move yet how can they? Who will buy their existing homes so that they can buy another?
Come to our free community awareness barbecue, Saturday Oct. 11 and visit www.stopoutdoorange.org.

I have a laptop from Dell, a Studio 1537, model PP33L which I bought a year and a week ago (so no more warranty!). Since yesterday, the screen isn't showing any image anymore. The light works (I can regulate the intensity) and the sound of Windows as well. It also works on an external display, but the screen of the notebook stays grey... Does anyone have an explanation to this? Could it just be a connection problem inside the computer? Thanks for your answers.
Edit: Maybe I should add that I just travelled 10 hours in a plane with the laptop in my suitcase. Maybe a shock?

Goliath : Life and Loathing in Greater Israel
You save US$6.80
Free delivery worldwide
Dispatched from the UK in 3 business days
2014 Lannan Foundation Cultural Freedom Notable Book Award In Goliath, New York Times bestselling author Max Blumenthal takes us on a journey through the badlands and high roads of Israel-Palestine, painting a startling portrait of Israeli society under the siege of increasingly authoritarian politics as the occupation of the Palestinians deepens. Beginning with the national elections carried out during Israel's war on Gaza in 2008-09, which brought into power the country's most right-wing government to date, Blumenthal tells the story of Israel in the wake of the collapse of the Oslo peace process. As Blumenthal reveals, Israel has become a country where right-wing leaders like Avigdor Lieberman and Bibi Netanyahu are sacrificing democracy on the altar of their power politics; where the loyal opposition largely and passively stands aside and watches the organized assault on civil liberties; where state-funded Orthodox rabbis publish books that provide instructions on how and when to kill Gentiles; where half of Jewish youth declare their refusal to sit in a classroom with an Arab; and where mob violence targets Palestinians and African asylum seekers scapegoated by leading government officials as "demographic threats." Immersing himself like few other journalists inside the world of hardline political leaders and movements, Blumenthal interviews the demagogues and divas in their homes, in the Knesset, and in the watering holes where their young acolytes hang out, and speaks with those political leaders behind the organized assault on civil liberties. As his journey deepens, he painstakingly reports on the occupied Palestinians challenging schemes of demographic separation through unarmed protest. He talks at length to the leaders and youth of Palestinian society inside Israel now targeted by security service dragnets and legislation suppressing their speech, and provides in-depth reporting on the small band of Jewish Israeli dissidents who have shaken off a conformist mindset that permeates the media, schools, and the military. Through his far-ranging travels, Blumenthal illuminates the present by uncovering the ghosts of the past--the histories of Palestinian neighborhoods and villages now gone and forgotten; how that history has set the stage for the current crisis of Israeli society; and how the Holocaust has been turned into justification for occupation. A brave and unflinching account of the real facts on the ground, Goliath is an unprecedented and compelling work of journalism.show more

Review quote
"There is no dearth of loathing in this book... there is much truth in its gruesome vignettes of modern Israeli hypernationalism in action..." David Shulman, The New York Review of Books "[A] bold, personal and unapologetic book." Salon "Goliath is a particular kind of expose-minded, documentary-broadside journalism whose place we generally recognize and respect... Blumenthal has made a sobering prima facie case that there are extreme forces [within Israel's current political-social dynamics] to be aware of, and reckoned with more fully than American discourse usually does." James Fallows, The Atlantic "Goliath is...an important book. Whereas others have pierced the myth of Israel as a besieged beacon of democracy, Blumenthal punches a hole through it...In the face of such moral bleakness, Blumenthal does offer moments of hope, most notably in the stories of everyday Palestinian and Jewish heroes and heroines who populate the book." Nadia Hijab, The Nation "As he did in Republican Gomorrah: Inside the Movement That Shattered the Party, in which Blumenthal swam in America's far-right sea to see what he might find, in this book he dives deep into Israel's far right, spending chapter after chapter letting the extremist partisans of modern Israel speak for themselves." The Middle East Policy Council "Goliath...shows in forensic detail the reality of the Israeli mainstream's embrace blatant racism against Arabs and Africans." The Guardian "[A] heart stopper... Goliath is a threat to the Israeli status quo...because it tells too many inconvenient truths." Larry Gross, Director of the USC Annenberg School for Communication "Max Blumenthal's Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel is the most important political and investigative journalist book of 2013." TarheelDem, Firedoglake Reader Diaries "[A] bold and shocking book, presenting persuasively a major theoretical and polemical argument about Israel almost completely at odds with the image most Americans have of it... Even those generally well-informed about Israel and its occupation of the Palestinian territories will have their views challenged by Blumenthal's sharp eye and deadpan factual presentations." The American Conservative "[A] scathing critique of the Jewish State... Supporters of Israel should be encouraged to read this book...As Israel's greatest supporters, American Jews who care at all about the future of the country need to understand what's happening within the borders." The New York Observer "[O]ne of the most fearless and honest books ever written about Israel." Chris Hedges "I would like to send a copy [of Goliath] to every Jew I know...This is the sort of book that even if you want to diss it, you can't dismiss it." Charles H. Manekin, Professor of Philosophy, Director of the Joseph and Rebecca Meyerhoff Center of Jewish Studies at the University of Maryland "Blumenthal's new book offers an unflinching look at the racist reality of Israel that America's establishment media simply does not have the guts to confront." Ali Abunimah, Electronic Intifada "Brave reporting of a sad, even tragic tale. Makes me wish he wrote for the New York Times." Stephen Walt, Professor of International Affairs at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government "Erudite, hard-hitting, [Goliath has] the potential to influence American public opinion on Israel..." Rayyan Al-Shawaf, Mondoweiss "[Blumenthal is] genuinely interested in the truth, and knows that the truth in politics often lurks in those dark caves of viciousness... [Goliath is] the kind of book that you just open to any chapter and quickly get a sense of both the particular and the whole. You'll find yourself instantly immersed in an engrossing family romance-one part tender, one part train-wreck-and wish you had the entire day to keep reading. Put it down, and pick it up the next day, and you'll have the exact same feeling." Corey Robin, associate professor of political science at Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center "A rich, roiling examination of 'the State of Israel during a period of deepening political and societal crisis' ... Blumenthal is an enterprising reporter." Kirkus Reviews "Brash, gritty, personal and close to the ground, this is a report from an Israel and a Palestine we seldom see in the mainstream media. The sharp-edged scenes and portraits in this disturbing book shows why the chances for lasting peace in the region have gone from bad to worse." Adam Hochschild "Armed with a critic's eye and a sharp pen, Blumenthal sets out to document what he regards as the fulfillment of Yeshayahu Leibowitz's darkest prophecy regarding the Israeli occupation. Exposure to the impressions from his journey through the Land of Israel-Palestine might be outrageous, unsettling, often heart wrenching. But those who fear for the image of this land would be well advised to respond to the challenge and to deal with his flowing descriptions of the struggles he witnessed and of the brave souls he met in one of the most divided and conflict-ridden places in the world." Akiva Eldar "Goliath lifts the carefully maintained veil concealing the reality of Israel as it actually is today, a reality that is elided in most reportage from the region... Blumenthal's book is packed with remarkable vignettes illustrating the dangerous path Israel is currently following." Rashid Khalidi "It is about time someone wrote this book. Anyone who thinks he knows what is happening in Israel and its occupied territories will think again after reading this great work." Charles Glass "The only worthwhile, honest discussion of Israel can come from someone who possesses two attributes: fearlessness and expertise. Max Blumenthal wields both in abundance, and the result is an eye-opening and stunningly insightful book about the dramatic plight of a country central to America's political fortunes." Glenn Greenwald "Max Blumenthal lays bare in rich and riveting detail the full, shocking scope and virulence of a cancer, both institutional and popular, which, unchecked, will surely do more to destroy Israel from within than its enemies -- essentially of its own racist and colonialist making too -- from without." David Hirst "Goliath is...an important book. Whereas others have pierced the myth of Israel as a besieged beacon of democracy, Blumenthal punches a hole through it...In the face of such moral bleakness, Blumenthal does offer moments of hope, most notably in the stories of everyday Palestinian and Jewish heroes and heroines who populate the book."--Nadia Hijab, The Nationshow more
