Would it not be so much easier if apart of your profile listed: trans woman or trans man as an identity option? That way you can also choose interested in only "____" or "_____" so if you don't or do want to see trans people you have that option and trans people get to be recognized for who they are.
Jul 11, 2014 1:32pm
I'll say it once more. To do so would cause an immediate barrage of harassment to these individuals. Either by those who do not approve who want to make their opinion known or by tranny chasers who have insincere motives. It would cause exploitation on this site. Furthermore, straight individuals will screen these people out immediately causing inevitable isolation.
Also, I thought it was part of LGBT dogma that a transsexual is the gender of their choice and therefore labeling someone a transsexual is unnecessary. A mtf is a female and a ftm is a male, end of story. To label oneself a transsexual, mtf, or some other term is to make them a "Third Gender" which in my view is psychologically ostracizing oneself. Are transsexuals a "Third Gender" or the gender of their choice? Can't be both. These people need to make up their minds.
Jul 12, 2014 8:07am
Wow, empirestv007, you are really oversimplifying. Identity is a really individual thing. "These people" don't all feel the same way about it. Some DO identify with a third gender, and some DON'T. I personally want to be identified simply as female. Other people feel erased when you do that. Nobody's asking to "be both". We've all made up our minds, but I'm afraid there's no regulatory authority determining that we all have to make up our minds the same way! Get used to it. :-D
But since it would be up to the individual whether to select that label, what's the big deal? It's not different than when a trans person chooses to discuss it in their profile, or not. Just more convenient and searchable/filterable. Let individuals have the choice.
"LGBT dogma"? Pphphpht. Is that like "heterosexual dogma"? :-D
Jul 12, 2014 8:29am
Although I think this would be tricky to get right, in a way that works for everybody, and I'd have some reservations about it. Expressed well in some comments on this other thread, http://www.okcupid.com/forum?tid=3913888960371352791, though you have to filter past the a-holes to find them. :-(
Jul 12, 2014 9:33am
your_cup_of_T: If identity is an individual thing does it not therefore defeat the purpose of putting groups of people into categories? Just put a reference to it in the profile description and then use one's individuality to discuss it.
Identifying as a third gender is socially constructed and has nothing to do with the biological sex. In addition, the third gender is not recognized as a "thing" in the culture. People are willing to overlook this whole transsexual thing if there is conformity to go from one gender to the other. Not so much with someone who goes back and forth, creates a new category for themselves, and demands recognition for whenever they decide to change their category. Facebook has like a dozen different categories that all describe transsexual.
Now, I am not saying there aren't people that think they're a third gender. I am saying its a dumb idea because it causes unnecessary social isolation. And you do get people that want multiple categories like transsexual, queer, gay, and yet give the social impression they're heterosexual females after their transition. This is about people obsessing over the past and for those who still can't figure out who they want to be in society.
The big deal is that people (do-gooders) are suggesting a website policy change that will cause inevitable social isolation and harassment. The "do-gooders" need to really think about the consequences of what they're suggesting. Personally, I don't really care. It's not my problem.
Jul 12, 2014 9:39am
You need to stop making judgments about the validity of other people's experience. Also, you are extrapolating way too much from what YOU are "willing to overlook ", to what "people" think about the issue -- you seem to know what's in everybody's head! Mind-reading must be cool. But I've got news for you. Your attitudes are not shared by everybody! There should be room for a diversity of experience in this world.
And for somebody who doesn't really care, you've sure got a lot to say about it!
Jul 12, 2014 1:59pm
your_cup_of_T: What I care about is intellectual honesty, which is absent in this thread. You say other people have these experiences but give no validity to them. Do their experiences have any logical or rational understanding to you? It seems not or otherwise you would have put up a better defense. I am not ignorant that people have "experiences." But those experiences that lack logic and reasons are open to criticism especially when these same people ask people like me to accept them without question.
Jul 12, 2014 2:22pm
Wow. All I can say is to quote Ronald Reagan (not normally one of my favorite people to quote): "Heh, there you go again!" :-D
Jul 12, 2014 3:49pm
Safe to say the LGTB theories are intellectually bankrupt protected only by the fact no one questions them due to the threat of being called bigoted. If these theories were put to the test in the open they would fall as they have here.
Or do you have anything more to say than "my feelings says its true therefore it is true."
Jul 12, 2014 9:57pm
You're projecting: that's what YOU are saying. You haven't even read anything I've written. You actually have zero experience being transgender, yet you believe you know all about it. That's not evidence. I happen to have a lot of experience with it, and I know what I'm talking about. It is pointless to debate further with somebody who is just reciting a monologue and loving the sound of his own voice. You will continue to go along believing that you have it all figured out. Enjoy!
Jul 12, 2014 10:28pm
your_cup_of_T: Your experience is your own and no one elses. This LGBT dogma that all are this way or that way is obviously false. And a person's experience and the life choices they make due to those experiences can be critiqued. There was a thread some time ago where an obvious man identified as female without any transitioning at all. Some of us critiqued this as the obvious intellectual fraud that it was.
For some time I identified as a Polish American because Polish was the plurality of my ancestry. Recent family genealogy has proven that my Polish blood is equal to that of my German. Therefore I do not identify as Polish American anymore. I identify with this or that based off the facts of reality. When someone identifies with A or B because they "feel" that way it deserves critique.
Also, putting half pictures on your profile and then baiting me to flag them is not clever.
Nov 18, 2014 5:29pm
Just some trivia. The code is actually there for both several identity choices and several orientation choices. If you look into the javascript source code, you find this(*):
I would believe that you could actually set these settings with some hacking, however they would probably not be shown or not be shown for all (correctly).
(*) Actually it depends on your account if you have this in your code or not. OkCupid sends different sets of JavaScript-Code to different users, probably depending on account age and user status and this might be included or it might not. Another reason why this probably would not work even if hacked.
Nov 18, 2014 5:59pm
Oh, it is not only on the code, but also available in the account - for some. My sock puppet account has this, while my regular account hasn't: http://i.imgur.com/VmXzmf9.jpg
And when choosing a non-binary option, it also adds "Include me in" where I can select "searches for women" and "searches for man".
Also if I set these options, they are actually shown to other accounts, in my regular account the labels show up.
So one must wonder why this feature is not available to anybody.

Hi - I'm heading to Lagos for the first time in the middle of March for 3 days with my wife, staying at Cascade Resort. I will be celebrating my 40th whilst we're there and I'm keen to hear of recommendations for restaurants where we can relax and enjoy great food and drink and a laid back atmosphere. Not really interested in overly stuffy or formal places.
The places that have caught my eye from the TA reviews are Bahia Beach Bar, O Camilo and Taberna De Lagos. Any suggestions/ advice gratefully received, even if its to say "dont worry about specific places, you'll be ok where ever you end up"....
Would also appreciate any input on bars for later in the evenings.
Many thanks

China made up 27% of Q2 smartphone sales (the slowing U.S. was at 16%), says Canalys, with its 199% Y/Y growth far outpacing the 24% seen elsewhere. Samsung (SSNLF.PK) and Apple (AAPL) are doing well in China, though the iPhone's high price makes it dependent on wealthier (and perhaps slower-growing) coastal provinces. But NOK and others are having trouble competing with local vendors. Chipmakers SPRD, MRVL, and QCOM have decent Chinese exposure. (Q1 data)

Soldiers Arrest Thai Politician As He Speaks Out Against Coup
A former minister of Thailand's ousted Cabinet was detained Tuesday at a news conference at which he criticized the coup that took control of the country last week. The arrest comes as another detained official — ousted Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra — was released.
From Bangkok, Michael Sullivan reports for our Newscast unit:
"Former Education Minister Chaturon Chaisang came out of hiding to speak to journalists at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand, where he defiantly denounced the coup makers and warned that resistance to the coup would continue and with it, the possibility of violence that would be 'a disaster for this country.'
"He said he had no intention of reporting to the authorities as ordered. So men with guns came to him instead — entering the Club while he was speaking and bundling him into a van that took him away.
"His appearance was the first in public by any member of the deposed government since the coup took place, though most of the senior members of the previous government had already been detained. The army continues to conduct raids on houses and businesses of supporters of the deposed government. One soldier was killed yesterday in one such operation."
Before he was arrested, Chaturon told journalists, "A coup d'etat is not a solution to the problems of conflict in Thai society. But it will make the conflict even worse, and ... it may lead to violence. A coup is unacceptable, it is an abrogation of democracy."
That's according to the Bangkok Post, which also notes that Chaturon has previously been banned from politics, after Thailand's last coup in 2006.
Chaturon's arrest comes as the military junta that now rules Thailand released former leader Yingluck Shinawatra, who had been taken to an army camp on Friday after reporting to a meeting at a military compound.
Yingluck has now been allowed to return to her home; The Phuket News says she was among several officials released Tuesday. The newspaper also reports that tourism officials are asking for a looser curfew than the current 10 p.m. – 5 a.m. rule requiring people to stay indoors.

Sir.—In the March 1989 issue of AJDC Berezin et al1 stated that "colonoscopy is the most effective means of establishing a definitive diagnosis" of milk intolerance of infancy. They implied a diagnosis protocol for hematochezia consisting of colonoscopy with multiple biopsy procedures, treatment with protein hydrolysate formula, and repeated colonoscopy in 2 weeks. They cautioned that "histologic findings may be similar in other disease states [but] rapid resolution and reappearance of colonic abnormalities after withdrawal and rechallenge... clearly establish a clinical diagnosis of protein intolerance." This would require four colonoscopies and at least two biopsies.
The cost of a colonoscopsy is about $500, and a biopsy with pathologic diagnosis adds up to $700. Using the protocol implied by Berezin et al, this would cost the patient between $1200 and $4800. This cost does not include office visits to a specialist, laboratory evaluations, or incidental costs due to time

ELUSIVE PEACEHow Modern Diplomatic Strategies Could Better Resolve World Conflicts
By DOUGLAS E. NOLL
Prometheus BooksCopyright © 2011 Douglas E. Noll
All right reserved.
Chapter OneEighteenth-Century Diplomacy Will Not Solve Twenty-First-Century Problems
Everyone wants world peace. Miss America wants to work for peace. Churches pray for it. Every Friday afternoon in the beach town of Carpinteria, California, a dozen or so people hold up signs demanding world peace. It is every good person's birthday wish. But how to get there?
The headlines don't give us much hope. Peace talks fail; negotiations over climate change fail; Iran is developing The Bomb. Afghanistan is an expensive mess, and the Sunnis and Shi'a are duking it out in Iraq. There seems to be more war and strife than ever before.
The cost of conflict is high. When you include veterans' obligations, interest on the amount borrowed to finance defense spending, and the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, about 54 cents of each US tax dollar pays for the military. The United States spends more on defense than the entire world put together.
International conflicts affect us all, and our inability to solve them threatens our very existence on the planet. The threat is to our personal security, our communities, and to our environment.
Why can't these problems be solved? That's the question I asked myself. I began to wonder why we can successfully mediate deeply painful conflicts like sexual abuse by clergy members and serious criminal offenses between victims and offenders, but not international conflicts. So I started to study the problem from my perspective as a professional mediator. What I learned was that the people in charge of international mediations and negotiations, though highly distinguished politicians and diplomats, are not always as skilled in the art and science of modern negotiation and peacemaking as they could be. In many cases, they are using old ideas and antiquated assumptions in their efforts to solve twenty-first-century problems.
Imagine sending a board-certified oncologist who specializes in colon cancer into a busy urban emergency room on a Friday night. The oncologist may get through the shift but not nearly as easily or as skillfully as the board-certified emergency room surgeon who has spent ten years working in a major trauma center. This metaphor describes the current practice of using former politicians and diplomats to intervene in international conflicts. We are sending in the oncologist, not the trauma surgeon, to handle the crisis.
In many cases, international mediators lack the experience and knowledge of how to deal with complex conflicts. Very few, if any, international mediators have had much mediation experience measured by the number of conflicts formally mediated. By way of contrast, the average successful US commercial mediator mediates more complex cases in a year than most international mediators have mediated in their careers. That is not to say that quantity is better than quality or that a complex commercial case is equivalent to an international conflict. However, in addition to the lack of formal training, the actual experience of mediating conflicts between people who are at war with each other is quite limited. The trauma center surgeon sees hundreds of medical emergencies, minor and major every week. The oncologist, simply because of the nature of his or her practice, sees none.
In other cases, the processes used to work with difficult conflicts harkened back to white wigs, frocked coats, and silk stockings. Too many diplomats and foreign ministers still believe in eighteenth-century ways of diplomacy and negotiation. Everyone knows that the twenty-first century world is very different than eighteenth-century Europe. The world is a complex place requiring a much more nuanced approach.
These complexities seem to stymie the ability of international negotiators to engage each other constructively when there are huge chasms of difference. When nations do come together, they are often cast into an unwieldy process that is often nonproductive. Not surprisingly, international negotiators often end up angry and disgruntled with each other. The media inflames these failures, making things worse.
Our only hope is to abandon the old processes in favor of approaches to conflict that take into account the knowledge we have gained in a vast array of disciplines around decision making, neuropsychology, and human behavior. It invokes processes that promote collaboration and discourage competition. It is the critical next step in bringing peace to the world.
The old ways of dealing with international conflict are not only failing, they are actually endangering us in ways that we probably are not aware of. Take nuclear nonproliferation as an example. Article VI of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty says: "[Each of the] states undertake to pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of the nuclear arms race at an early date and to nuclear disarmament," and toward a "treaty on general and complete disarmament under strict and effective international control."
For almost forty years, the nuclear weapons states have not fulfilled their mutual obligation to disarm themselves of nuclear weapons. Instead, conflict has arisen between nonproliferation ("We keep our nukes, you don't get yours") and disarmament (the total elimination of nuclear weapons). The nuclear powers conflate nonproliferation with disarmament so that the focus is on preventing North Korea and Iran from developing nuclear weapons, rather than on disarming the United States, China, Russia, France, Great Britain, India, Pakistan, and Israel, among others. The diplomats conveniently ignore this nuclear narcissism, refusing to talk seriously about the possibility of complete, worldwide nuclear disarmament at a high political level. Perhaps disarmament is unrealistic. However, Iran makes a point when it asks why there are not ongoing discussions about global disarmament.
The December 2009 climate change conference in Copenhagen is another example of how old processes have led to impasse. We will look at this conference in greater detail later. Suffice it to say that the 2009 conference was a large political meeting with over forty-five thousand people attending. In addition to diplomats and technical experts from every nation, the conference was observed by dozens of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), a media mob, environmental groups, and business interests. The critical negotiations took place behind closed doors. Given the adversarial framework in which the negotiations were structured, impasse was inevitable. Kenneth Cloke, the founder of Mediators Beyond Borders, wrote:
Large political meetings like this one are often arranged hierarchically, bureaucratically and autocratically (even when they adopt a formally democratic official language); around narrow, technical topics that make it difficult for anyone to have authentic, meaningful conversations; entirely in large groups that do not allow for honest inter-personal dialogue; based on formal, arcane procedures that tie conversations in knots; and are increasingly pointless, ineffective, and unnecessary.
The failure to understand and acknowledge the failure of current negotiation processes is systemic. It deeply penetrates the international diplomatic community. While in Copenhagen observing the global warming treaty negotiation process, Laurel Kaufer, a well-known California-based mediator, asked ambassador John Ashe, chair of the Ad Hoc Working Group–Kyoto Protocol, why the parties to climate change conferences do not use mediation when impasse is reached. Ambassador Ashe answered disdainfully, "Why should we do that? Mediation is for human rights issues." Embedded in Ambassador Ashe's answer is the elitist idea, "We diplomats know best. Go away and leave the negotiating to us professionals." The fact is, many diplomats are neither knowledgeable nor professional when it comes to working with deep conflict. The examples I use in the chapters that follow will illustrate this.
The point of this book is to look at these antiquated processes, understand why they are not working, and offer up a more nuanced view of negotiation, problem solving, and conflict resolution that might help us use twenty-first-century technology to solve twenty-first-century problems. I don't suggest that a modern approach will immediately solve all of the complex problems of the world. However, using a scalpel instead of a meat axe to remove a tumor seems like it might lead to a better outcome for the patient. I want to demonstrate the crisis of failure in modern international negotiation. I believe that we have better technology, better knowledge, and better science about negotiation, problem solving, decision making, and human behavior than did eighteenth-century diplomats. Skillfully applied, this technology can help us work more productively on the intractable problems of the modern world.
When we have to negotiate for anything, even something as simple as a buying a used car, we want to know the motivations of the people with whom we are negotiating. If we understand the other person's motives, we hope we can strike the right chord to get them to do what we want them to do. To help us achieve this, we formulate assumptions and theories about why people do what they do.
To get a sense about the importance of understanding the assumptions of negotiators, consider what I am doing when I intend to negotiate a used car purchase. First, I generate some fundamental assumptions about the seller. I assume he wants to sell me a car. Second, I assume he wants to sell me a car at the highest price possible because it affects his commission. Third, I assume that he wants to be my newest best friend, but not because of my good looks. He and I both know that affinity is one of the five central elements of effective persuasion. Fourth, I assume he has my best interests in mind only to the degree that it helps him sell me a car. Fifth, I assume he will use sales tricks, tips, and techniques common in car sales negotiations, and that I can expect to be manipulated. Sixth, I will assume some dishonesty. Everyone fudges on something, so I will expect that from him.
I will also assume that he will use the technique of limited authority against me, and that I will have to negotiate with him, a sales "manager," and a finance "manager." I assume that these "managers" are just souped-up salespeople whose purpose is to close the deal at a higher price, with more options, and with a profitable financing deal. That's a lot of assumptions for me to make, but they will guide me in my negotiations so that I am not exploited, manipulated, or overwhelmed by the process. After all, these guys do this for a living every day, while I buy a car every ten to twelve years.
These are all assumptions we implicitly might make in the negotiation over a used car. They guide us in our decision making and help us get what we want without paying too much.
Just like buying a used car, international diplomats have certain assumptions and theories about human nature.
The fundamental assumption in international relations is that human beings are self-interested egoists who tend toward violence, contention, and brutality unless constrained by threat or exercise of violent force. Thucydides expressed this assumption early on, and it was recapitulated later by Niccolò Machiavelli and Thomas Hobbes. This view of human nature is also expounded in the Christian theology of original sin developed by Augustine as a rebuttal to the arguments of the Irish monk Pelagius.
From a gross observational standpoint, the assumption that the other guy is out to advance himself at my expense seems consistent with how the world really works. After all, history and our personal experiences are replete with examples of selfishness and self-aggrandizement leading to misery, violence, and war. We cannot assume that the other guy is altruistic when the evidence points to the conclusion that he wants to smack us down. International relations theory assumes that governments act pretty much like individuals unless they, too, are constrained by a dominant power. Thus, diplomatic negotiation is often conducted through the threat of economic sanctions and the exercise of military power.
Obviously, human beings and their governments have the capacity to act dangerously. However, dangerous behavior is not automatic or inherent. In fact, given a preference, most human beings will choose peace over war. In addition, we have an extraordinary capacity for cooperation, love, attachment, empathy, and altruism. The narrow assumptions of diplomacy do not trust these innate human traits and therefore ignore the enormous power that they may contribute in negotiation, conflict resolution, and problem solving.
Old diplomacy also assumes that human beings are rational players, seeking, in the terms of traditional economics, to maximize their utility. In other words, individuals and governments make rational choices to improve their lives, economic well-being, or security from outside threats.
The assumption of rationality pervades international relations theory. For example, international relations scholars Robert Keohane and Joseph Nye wrote, "Both realism and liberalism are consistent with the assumption that most state behavior can be interpreted as rational, or at least intelligent activity." The language of rational actors, rational states, cool assessments of risk, and so forth are found throughout the literature of international relations.
This concept, called rational-choice theory, is the foundation of economics and political science in the Western world. Its greatest flaw is that it discounts the importance of emotions in decision making and therefore fails to predict the actual behaviors of human beings with any reasonable accuracy. New discoveries in behavioral economics, cognitive and social neuroscience, and social psychology have demonstrated that emotions weave through our every thought, decision, and action. To paraphrase neuroscientist Antonio Damasio, we are 98 percent emotional and 2 percent rational. We are not nearly as rational as we think we are. Behavioral economists like Duke University professor Dan Ariely have established that we are "predictably irrational" in most of our decision-making processes. More importantly, rationality may not define what it means to be human.
Our twenty-first-century knowledge paints a picture of a much more complex motivational process. A recent study illustrates the point: A group of people was randomly divided into two groups. Each person in one group was given a two-digit numeral to memorize, such as 12, 20, or 31. The people in the other group were asked to memorize a seven-digit telephone number, such as 3437654 or 7965748. Both groups were told to keep those numerals in their memory and not to forget them. They would be asked at a later time whether or not they remembered the numbers. As they were reminded to keep the numbers in mind, they were offered a snack plate containing apple slices and brownies.
The researchers were interested in whether the groups would vary in their choice of snacks. Sure enough, more of the people who were required to remember the two-digit numbers picked apples, while more of the people who were remembering the seven-digit number took brownies off the plate. Not everybody picked apples over brownies or brownies over apples. However, the number of two-digit people who chose the apples over brownies compared to the total group, and the number of seven-digit people who chose brownies compared to the total group was statistically significant.
The hypothesis that developed from this experiment, and many others like it, is that when our cognitive capacity is taxed by even a simple task of remember a string of numerals, our ability to manage emotional impulses is dramatically reduced. The two-digit people had an easier time because of the smaller number and therefore had some cognitive capacity left over for impulse control. They could resist the less healthful brownie and make a healthier, if less tasty, decision to eat an apple.

Nice boat!
I feel that Sana's friends were just trying to protect him from the thought of not being able to do anything. Hey, if it were not for our little teacher, Sana may have not done anything at all himself. I do get the feeling from this episode that Shuu's whole mental dilemma in life is going to be the fact that he cannot help or protect those around him like he would want. This may be instigated with what is happening with his sister at the moment.
As for Sana theories and the phone... that would be just too creepy in such a light toned series like this. Although that would be awsome if it were true

If you have ever seen a series like Monster or Elfen Lied, then yes this is very light toned. Heck even School days is worst than this, well atm (Need I say anything about the ending?). It is not as light toned as a series like Shana though, retaining a reasonable seriousness in which I can feel the drama and not see it out of place.

Anyways, I think there is too much blame put on Sana's friend and not enough on our protagonist. Sana has handled the entire Nanaka relationship poorly, succeeding only through luck (if she hadn't been there for the piano sequence...). Remember that much of their interaction is done by just the two of them, Shunsuke & Co. might not have even been aware they were extremely close. Blame is shared on all parties since there was no contact from either side until very recently.
Sure, Nanaka is pissed off at the absence of contact and support she had expected. But she initially chooses to forgive Sana since their relationship was steadily building, culminating in the aftermath of Nanaka's dance. The finishing blow came directly from Sana's indecision over Hoshino, which led him to dismiss them almost holding hands as jiko/accidental. This reduces their level of intimacy as the same as with Hoshino, whom Sana explicitly said he has no feelings for. This is nothing less than an indirect rejection for Nanaka, who clearly has feelings. Sana also frequently seen flirting with Hoshino in his own wimpy way, esp. by Nanaka.
How much contact do you have with your friends from age 11? If you're above Sana's age (16+), the answer is very likely minimal/none for males.

It's too easy to point fingers - but I don't think you can really blame Sana for this.
First, let's not forget that Sana moved away. The move was thought to be permanent, and there was no real reason to believe he would come back (other than to visit Aoi and her parents once in a while). I know that in animeverse, childhood friends are for life and is usually the person that the main guy ends up with - but in reality, people MOVE ON. Old friends are generally left behind and forgotten as new ties built with those who are physically present. It is not only natural but realistic that the friends would lose contact. Besides, even if they did contact Sana, what could he do? Maybe talk to Nanaka a couple of times on the phone, if that - he's not in a position to do much more than that.
Second, the dynamics often change with separation. How often have you been reacquainted with old buddies, only to find that you can't quite pick up from where you left off? Believe it or not, it tends to be the norm rather than the exception. Even if Sana had been close friends with Nanaka in the past, there is NO guarantee that they will be more than acquaintences the second time around.
Third, there is nothing wrong with Sana pursuing Asami. It's not like he made a promise of eternal love with Nanaka under the sakura tree or produced a Gift to remember each other by. There was mutual affection but not much more than that - and even if there was, the slap in episode 1 is about a clear a rejection as you'll ever see. It's a bit much to insist on the guy to devote his entire life to you after you rejected and humiliated him in front of the entire class.

It might be hard to have an accurate perspective on this in your 30's, but your personality is considerably less stable in your tweens. I know a lot of people who went from literally silent to extrovert on meth around that age.
In fact, one of the most tragic parts of this episode is the mutual understanding between Sana and Nanaka at how much they have each changed since old times. You can see it, as they are both extremely guarded people now, who are socially awkward and insecure about themselves. Self-loathing is a strong possibility as well considering Sana's "suicide theory" and Nanaka's self-blame on the arson.
Read my post, I didn't mention Sana's actions at all during the separation. I blamed the current situation on how he handled it after his return. The scene where he checks Nanaka out at the temple without a word ranks up there with the protagonist reading porn on his date in School Days in terms of social faux pas.
In regard to your second point, separate fact and fiction. You said it yourself osananajimi remain close and forever remain that way, period.
Lastly, I never said there was anything wrong with pursuing Asami, however passively that may be. However, you can't deny it is a major factor in Nanaka's hostility towards Sana right now. While Nanaka may have rejected Sana initially, her actions later more than implies interest. From the audience's POV, they scream "suki". Also, Nanaka and Sana did share many parting gifts, in some ways. The sakura bracelet and mail keys are both gifts that are clearly precious to both parties.
Just because I had a Nanaka avatar at the time of my post, doesn't imply "fanboy" status. There is no point in hoping that Nanaka will "win" because she will, and you know it. Everything is set up for the pairing and you'd be hardpressed to find evidence otherwise. This series just doesn't have time for protagonist indecisiveness that plagues soooo many harems with only 5 more eps.

One of the best episodes so far wow. Nanaka finally has her break down and we finally learned what happend not like we all didnt suspect anyway. Her trauma from accident is what is preventing her playing the violin. Plus she blames Sana for not being there that was not fair he couldnt not control that. What kid can control where and when their parents decide to move?
I did notice Sana looking at his watch again when she said he was having fun with his new friends. Hum????? i really want to know the back story to all that.

Phone life lines saves many peoples lives every year, but the most important part is the other person on the end of the phone. <- A very valuable service that should never be looked down on.
Personally I was really impressed with the way Sana handled Nanaka's bad dream problem. The talisman trick I've used before and I think it is great. I wonder has anyone considered that Nanaka wanted Sana because he out of all the friends as a child already proved himself to her.
When I was their age the solution that seemed to be all the rage was the make the person feel bad about it technique. All that does is makes people shut down and not go to them for help again. Of course people who use this technique notches it up as a win since they don't get requests for help again....

No matter how stable or unstable you are, using meth and stuff will cause such things to happen.
I'm sure there are quite a number of people in the world at Sana's age that check out unknown girls. They don't all go Makoto, and don't all end up living a bad life.

Of course at around 16, you'd check out anything boobs and a skirt. I'd actually disagree that Makoto ended up living a bad life, at least until the very end. Having 2 girls vying for you in that way is awesome, he couldn't have known they were yandere.
Again, this is anime, childhood friends are universally remembered. You say that Sana shouldn't be expected to remember Nanaka's face. But he recognizes Shuusuke, Shuuri, and Aoi without any problems.

People keep saying that Sana could have saved Nanaka with a phone call, but how the hell was he supposed to know how Nanaka was suffering? His friends wouldn't tell him because they assumed there was nothing he could do for her. Which was a mistake on their part, but come on, they're kids. Could Nanaka have called him herself? Why would she? She had the mailbox and was still under the delusion that Sana would save her if she put those letters in there.
Nobody's to blame here but the arsonist. Trying to fault other people in a situation like this is pointless. Especially people who had absolutely no control over their current situations.

Though i dont think all the blame should be placed on Sana, I will critize him for not calling not EVEN once. Sure friends move and move on but at least they try to keep in touch with one another. Grey_Moon is right just hearing someones voice who you trust can make all the difference in the world. Just hearing Sanas voice could have helped Nanaka realize that shes not alone and maybe it would have openned her to talking with other students in middle school. But he didnt talk to her and it festered for all this time and then his numerous mistakes he has made with Asami and Nanaka only compunded the problems and the result was what we saw in episode 8.

And the first time Sana saw Nanaka was at the shrine. By his memory Nanaka was not living at the shrine so he might just have thought it was another girl.

I can't believe people still are debating about the whole "bad friend" "good friend" thing:
An important point I forgot to mention correlates after Sana came back -
I think Aoi, Shuu, Shuyri didn't mention about the fire b/c they didn't feel it was their place to talk about it to Sana. I think they wanted Nanaka to be the one to tell Sana about the fire.
Which would explain why they wanted to "hook up" or "get them alone" Sana with Nanaka. Well, I know for a fact Shuyri wanted to, and I'm pretty sure Aoi and Shuu wanted too, but I'm not 100% sure about them.
I mean would you feel it's your place as well?
I think people are also forgetting -
Aoi, Shuu, and Shuyri were all in Middle School at the time of the fire. Around that age, they may not have the power or ability to resolve the problem properly.
I know contacting Sana and saying something like, "Hey Sana you should really call Nanaka, she really misses you...etc." to get Sana to call Nanaka is obvious to us (most of us are close to 18).
The logic, intelligence, wisdom, etc. gained from 12 - 18 is enormous, and they probably didn't posses the necessary logic, intelligence, wisdom, etc. needed to resolve the problem at the time.
Anyway, the result is fine and everything seems to be solved. So yeah, even if it was solved improperly at first, it was solved properly in the end. So yeah, it really doesn't matter. IMO, I think it was good that it was solved poorly at first, b/c it ended with a sweet romantic solution (I almost cried at the end).
Also, Sana did help out Nanaka in a way (even if it was accidental). The mailbox probably consoled Nanaka more than anything. And whose idea was that? Sana.

Rob's Favorite Creamed Dried Beef
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 0 mins
I prefer to use the dried beef from a local deli - ask to have it paper-thin sliced or chipped. I serve this over toasted wheat bread for my DH but it is also good served over a oven-baked russet potato. I found this recipe in the Fannie Farmer Cookbook.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄4 lb dried beef, chipped
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup hot 2% low-fat milk
- 1 cup light cream
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 slices wheat toast (or 4 baked potatoes)
- Separate the slices of beef and set aside.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over a medium high heat.
- When the butter foams, sprinkle in the flour and whisk (yes use a whisk it works better) in the flour until very well blended.
- Add the hot milk and cook over low heat, stirring very often with the whisk.
- Slowly add the cream, continuing to stir constantly until the cream sauce is thickened (about 3-5 minutes).
- Add the pepper and the dried beef and using a spoon mix well until heated through.
- Serve over crisply toasted bread or hot baked potato.

This reminds me of what I used to eat as a kid. I had to add some extra salt (personal preference) and I used Budding Beef rather than the jar of beef from a pricing standpoint (probably the reason I had to add more salt). Thank you so much for sharing this! Oh -- also, for us, it made more than to top 4 pieces of regular toast...
Fantastic. DH loved it, and thinks it might be better than biscuits and gravy. I used all the pepper. Tagged in everyday's a holiday, glad I did. Thanks, Hokie
Very good and easy to make. I doubled the recipe but only used half the pepper that was indicated. Followed the rest of the recipe as written. My whole family enjoyed this for breakfast this morning.

By Jason Kaneshiro, Fort Monmouth Public AffairsApril 21, 2010
FORT MONMOUTH, N.J. -- Job seekers braved cloudy skies and uncertain economic forecasts to recite their best sales pitches and hope their resumes might get a second look at the most recent job fair here.
The first of the day's 1,147 attendees began arriving at Gibbs Hall more than an hour before the main doors opened, biding their time in the lobby studying the employer list and floor map provided by Army Community Service, which hosted the event.
"I hope to make some good contacts or leads," said Petty Officer 1st Class Charles Seidel as he waited. A logistics specialist from Naval Weapons Station, Earle with 19 years in the Navy, Seidel intends to retire from military service and find work as a civilian.
"I'm a little nervous," added Seidel. "I've taken a lot of comfort and certainty being in the Navy and it seems to be hard to find a job around here."
Seidel went to the job fair at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in December where most of the recruiters told him to reapply when he got closer to his retirement in August.
"Most employers are taking resumes and saying that they'll hold on to it and to check back again with them later," Seidel said, referring to the typical non-commitment job seekers can face from recruiters. "It's nerve wracking to be in this situation."
Andrew Vargas, a student and combat medic with the New Jersey Army National Guard, arrived with hope of finding full-time work.
"I don't expect much, but I'd like to get a job in health care, if possible," Vargas said.
On the other side of the door, waiting for the job fair to begin, was Sondra E. Cannon from Brookdale Community College, location in Monmouth County, New Jersey.
"During my first job fair here, the expectations of the people were high," Cannon said. "Now, it's not desperation, but people are more realistic. As the fort gets closer to shutting down, there's a recognition that they have to make plans."
More than 60 organizations, including schools, government agencies and private companies, were represented at the event.
One of those collecting resumes and shaking hands on behalf of his company was Jose Mercado. A project manager with Mission Solutions Engineering, he has experienced the job-hunting process from both sides of the table.
"I actually participated as a job seeker during the last job fair here," Mercado said. Since then, he was hired by a company that wasn't at the fair. He persuaded his human resources department to reserve a table for this job fair after recognizing the opportunities to hire people with specialized talent that wanted to stay in New Jersey after the fort closes.
Mercado can also count himself as one of the fortunate few who have been hired in an economy that for months has seen high levels of unemployment.
According to data released by the United States Bureau of Labor and Statistics, the current unemployment rate for New Jersey stands at 9.8 percent and the national rate is 9.7 percent.
"It was a good turnout today. There wasn't a lull through the whole day until now" said Cannon, as a dwindling number of job seekers milled about during the final hour of the job fair. "I noticed that the participants today had a more specialized set of job skills."
As the event wound down, the majority of job seekers walked away with a collection of business cards, pens, or other giveaways with company logos.
Similarly, employers walked away with stacks of resumes.
"We received roughly 50 resumes from quality candidates out of the hundreds we've collected," said Mercado as he and his colleagues packed up.

Challenge, opportunity
Will Tucker's election in Ward 4 to fill his father's seat on the New Albany Board of Aldermen presents both a challenge and an opportunity for him.
Tucker, who operates the Windshield Doctor, which had been his father's family business, edged out Angele Mueller, owner of the Tallahatchie Gourmet restaurant, by an unofficial vote of 288 to 282 in the runoff election. Tucker got 215 votes to 119 for Mueller in the first round, in which nine candidates vied for the position.
The challenge for anyone getting half the votes is to sort out why the election was so close. The Tucker name and, for some voters, sympathy in the death of his father, gave him a significant early edge. The only question on the personable Tucker that we heard was his youth and his inexperience, leading some voters to believe he would be "led" by other members of the board.
Meanwhile, Mueller has been active in the community and is a well-regarded businesswoman with a successful restaurant and catering service. She expressed clear views, and both she and Tucker ran clean, competitive campaigns.
The opportunity now is for Tucker to demonstrate to Ward 4 voters that his youth is a plus, and that it gives him a fresh and independent outlook on the board. He can be a pro-active, progressive voice on the board, helping the city reap the benefits of economic growth while improving the quality of life and amenities in our community.
If he does that, he likely will cement his place on the board. We congratulate him on the results of the election.

Superconducting properties of Cu1-xTlxBa2Ca3-yMgy Cu4O12-delta (Cu1-xTlx Mgy-1234) material have been studied in the composition range y=0,1.5,2.25. The zero resistivity critical temperature [Tc (R=0)] was found to increase with the increased concentration of Mg in the unit cell; for y=1.5 [Tc(R=0)]=131 K was achieved which is hitherto highest in Cu1-xTlx-based superconductors. The X-ray diffraction analyses have shown the formation of a predominant single phase of Cu0.5Tl0.5Ba2Ca3-yMgy Cu4O12-delta superconductor with an inclusion of impurity phase. It is observed from the convex shape of the resistivity versus temperature measurements that our as-prepared material was in the region of carrier over-doping, and the number of carriers was optimized by postannealing experiments in air at 400degC, 500degC, and 600degC. The Tc(R=0) was found to increase with postannealing and the best postannealing temperature was found to be 600degC. The mechanism of increased Tc(R=0) is understood by carrying out infrared absorption measurements. It was observed through softening of Cu(2)-OA-Tl apical oxygen mode that improved interplane coupling was a possible source of enhancement of Tc(R=0) to 131 K

MNGOP guv hopefuls strike more liberal tone on marijuana reform than Mark Dayton
When it comes to medical marijuana -- or any relaxing of pot laws whatsoever -- Gov. Mark Dayton has said, "I don't think we need another drug operating in our society."
SEE ALSO: MNGOP spent $10,500 on study that supports legalizing medical marijuana
He's also said he wouldn't sign a bill legalizing marijuana unless it has the support of law enforcement, which seems about as likely as me finding part-time work as a supermodel if this blogging thing doesn't work out.
You might assume Republicans would be even less in favor of marijuana reform than Dayton, but in some cases, you'd be wrong. For instance, consider what the leading 2014 MNGOP gubernatorial hopefuls had to say about the topic during a recent candidate forum in Rochester.
From the Rochester Post Bulletin:
Medical marijuana is one of the rare issues of the Capitol that does not break down along party lines. That became evident during a recent Republican gubernatorial forum in Rochester. The five candidates were asked whether they would be willing to sign a bill legalizing marijuana. Hibbing teacher Rob Farnsworth, Sen. Dave Thompson and Hennepin County Commissioner Jeff Johnson all said "yes." Wayzata businessman Scott Honour and former House Speaker Kurt Zellers said "no."
As we told you about earlier today, over the weekend, Johnson won an MNGOP straw poll of the leading 2014 Republican gubernatorial candidates. His statement at the Rochester forum was a slight departure from what he said about medical pot during a MinnPost interview earlier this year:
In any event, with medical marijuana supporters planning a big push for a legalization bill during the upcoming session, pot reform could become a major topic during next's year gubernatorial campaign. And unless Dayton has a change of heart (or Johnson reverts his position back to something akin to "I don't know"), ganja-friendly Minnesotans might find themselves in the unusual position of agreeing with Republicans. (Some Republicans, at least -- others, of course, are less liberal about marijuana.)

When someone says "destination wedding" I automatically think of a boho style affair, with the bride and groom all in white (her in a floaty gown and him in a white linen suit) walking down a sun-drenched sandy beach barefoot. So you can imagine what a welcome surprise it was to be presented with something that's the complete antithesis to that. These guys are the epitome of mean, moody and cool!
Maricelis and Omar, who met and still live in New York, were married at Atarazana Restaurant in La Zona Colonial, Dominican Republic. "Our wedding was different because we are different!" began the bride. "Many weddings that use a Rock n Roll concept or theme, base it on English or American rock and our celebration was strictly Spanish! Instead of walking into the celebration area with a typical wedding song, I walked to a Spanish folk metal poem by Txus di Fellatio named Si Yo, Tu."

Daegis to Present Live Webinar on How to Simplify Your Workflow Using Technology Assisted Review
Webinar to Examine the Legal, Economic and Technological Issues Surrounding Conventional Technology Assisted Review and New Predictive Technologies
This webinar will bring together an expert panel to examine the legal, economic, and technological issues surrounding conventional technology assisted review and new predictive technologies. The event will address the following:
• Is TAR becoming essential for law firms and legal departments?
• What are the risks associated with using TAR?
• Can TAR fit into existing workflows instead of requiring legal professionals to adapt to the technology?
• Can alternative methods of TAR relieve senior attorneys from the burden of creating seed sets to jump start reviews?
Featured Speakers:
• David Horrigan, Esq., Analyst, E-Discovery and Information Governance, 451 Research
• Anita Engles, Vice President of Product Marketing, Daegis
• Doug Stewart, EnCE, Vice President of Technology and Innovation, Daegis
"Technology assisted review (TAR) or predictive coding has received both good and bad press," said Anita Engles, vice president of product marketing, Daegis. "Proponents of TAR tout its abilities to speed up review and decrease costs without sacrificing accuracy. Opponents assert the technology is unproven and may be indefensible. This webinar will explore these dynamics and highlight why TAR may ultimately be a necessity in the era of Big Data."
