Yugoslavia: Five Weeks Into the Succession
The Yugoslav leadership continues to exhibitin its ability to govern without Tito. Thejp: power to the collegial leadership hds been smooth.
The new leaders repeatedly have expressed theirto follow the path laid out bynon-aligned policy abroad and socialist self-management at home. This resolve is reinforced by the implied threat the Yugoslav's see by the Soviet move into Kabul and by what they interpret as Moscow's efforts to reestablish its authority over international socialism. J| W
Domestic political problems may surface soon. Tito died, there was evidence that somewere jockeying for position within theleadership. Thismaneuveringand could intensify. The first major testcollective leadership probably will come inthe post of party presidium chairman is scheduled There are no statutes governing the selectionnew chairman, nor isrecedent^oramong the presidium
Solving the nation's seemingly chronic economicwillerious challenge. The Yugoslavs already have turned to Western countries for economic and financial aid and are likely to regard the responsearometer of^the West's willingness to support post-Tito Yugoslavia.
For the Soviets, new leadership in Belgrade does not appear to have brought any lessening of theseparating Moscow and Belgrade. With Tito comatose in late April, the new Yugoslav leaders refused to attend the Soviet-inspired meeting of European Communist parties in Paris. More recently, the Yugoslavs have renewed theiroonaligned ministerial meeting focused on the Soviet military intervention in Afghanistan. There is
no evidence yet. however, that the Soviets are making any special efforts to gain control over the new leaders or to destabilize the regis*.
Tbe new collegial system is unlikely to be durable over the longergiven tbe problems it faces. Nevertheless, the new leaders gained valuable experience and confide-ice during Tito's four-month long illness. For now. however, they appear intent on abiding scrupulously by the rules of collectivity. This should mean eight toonths of relative calm in domestic politics.
The Succession
The succession machinery has functioned well. Within hours of Tito's deathay, the State Presidency met and installed vice President Lazar Kolisevski for the Yugoslav State Presidency. Less than two weeks later, on IS Hay. Kolisevski's one-year-tern as Vice President and short start as President had come to an end on schedule.how of rule-by-law intended for audiences at home andreported on nationwidePresident was selected in accordance with the established principle of annual rotation among Presidency members and among the nation's republics and provinces. ammmm*
The new President, Cvjetinerb from Bosnia-Hercegovina, was elected alongew Vice President.Rraigher from Slovenia. The rules of procedure were subsequently amended so that the State Presidency rotation applies to both the President and Vice President. Kraigher will assume the Presidency inerb, probably Petar Stambolic, will assume the Vice Presidency. Thus, the new leadership wasted little time in clearing up some of the few ambiguities associated with the State Presidency.
The regime's strict observance of the rules of the collective leadership is calculated to project an air of confidence and self-assurance. At the time of Tito's funeral, for example, the Yugoslav news agency Tanjug listed the members of the party leadership alphabetically; when naming members of the state leadership, the media followed the established order of rotation by which each member assumes the Presidency.
At the funeral the speeches broke no new ground;the speakers stressed continuity, the unity of the Yugoslav peoples, and the nation's determination toits independence. Mmm
Just before Tito's death, and in hopes of silencing domestic critics, the regime sought and apparently gained promisesumber of politicians ousted in themainly Serbs andto make trouble in the succession period. One of them, Mijalko Todorovic, publicly expressed his loyalty to Tito and his policies at the time of the funeral. MM)
In an effort to highlight the fact that the nation's most volatile minorityole in Yugoslavia's future, Fadil Hodza, the country's foremost Albanian, was given the honor of accompanying Tito's body on ths train from Ljubljana to Belgrade.

Relations wirh Moscow
Both the Yugoslavs and Soviets recently commemorated inashion the anniversary of the Belgrade Declarationnd relations in general are correct. There have been no indications, however, that either the Yugoslavs or Soviets are prepared to make concessions over the differences that separate them. With Soviet President Brezhnev in the audience, Presidium Chairman Doronjski, in his eulogy of Tito,ow-key, but pointedto the correctness of Tito's break with Stalinore recently, Yugoslavia's most noted newsHilika Sundic, lost no time in responding to Pravda's

These strains are tempered, however, by Yugoslavia's dependence on the Soviet Unionary equipment and their close economic tier. a
Five weeks into the succession, Yugoslav-Sovietappear to be settling into the traditionalblend of cooperation and confrontation. On the one hand, the formal (but somewhat unconvincing) expressions of friendship continue apace, as do cultural and economic ties. On the other, the two have already, ratumed to sniping at each other in the press.
Problems In the Economy
The most difficult problem the new leadership in Yugoslavia faces is resolving the seemingly chronic economic difficulties
Croving inflation and bal ance-of-payments problems force it to consider further austerity measures that could have negative political consequences. In the past, even with Tito alive, Belgrade has shied away from im-
igorous and effective stabilization program
Yugoslav efforts to combat inflation and cut its foreign trade deficit9 met with little success. Measures introduced ina partial price freeze and controls on credit, particularly forto produce the desired results.
Now, there are signs the new leaders willigorous stabilization program. The dinar wasbyercentartial price freezeune. These measures were announcedwith IMF approvalew loan for Yugoslavia for4 million in return for which Belgrade has undertaken totabilization program. The

Tito's successors also face growing signs that the wealthier republics, particularly Slovenia, will challenge the system under which financial aidis mandated to the country's less-developed regions. jmw
Uncertainties Ahead
The collective leadership system that Titom8 has yet to bemplemented. On the federal level, both the oarty and state executive collegial bodies are in place, but implementaticn of the system at the republic and local levels lags because republic-level and local officials resist collegiality which they seehreat to their power base. Mm
In Belgrade, the relationships between the members of the party and state executive bodies have yet to be spelled out. It also is clear that these two collegial executives are not equal, and that factions backing this or that individual already are forming. Political maneuvering, backbiting, and intrigue .have been endemic to Yugoslavia, even with Tito alive. M
Serbian power appears to be coalescing aroundMinister Ljubicic and Presidium members Milos Minic and Petar Stambolic. On the other hand, Croatian influence rivets on Vladimir Bakaric, the man Tito tapped to oversee the succession. Bakaric apparently ishis main support from fellow Croats and political allies fron neighboring Bosnia-Hercegovina. The rivalry between these two groups couldisruptive factor over the next several months, but for the moment there are no signs it is getting out of hand. ajor test could develop over the summer if the supporters of Bakaric persist in their recent efforts to have him named the next party presidium chairman. This move is reportedly opposed by Minic and his followers. The
problem is complicated because there is no precedent set forew presidium chairman- .Tito picked the presidium chairman, fly

Earthquake Strongly Felt Across Los Angeles
By Christopher Weber | AP - LOS ANGELES
Published: 18th March 2014 10:59 AM
Last Updated: 18th March 2014 10:59 AM
A predawn earthquake rolled across the Los Angeles basin Monday, rattling nerves and shaking buildings along a 150-mile (240-kilometer) swath of Southern California but causing no major damage.
The 4.4-magnitude quake was centered 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) from Encino and 15 miles (24 kilometers) west-northwest of the downtown civic center, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
USGS seismologist Robert Graves called it a "typical" Southern California quake and said expectations were that damage would be slight, if it occurred at all.
Los Angeles police and fire officials said there were no immediate reports of damage.
Encino resident Joann Smith described the initial jolt as a "big crash" that shook her house.
"My dog got out of bed, and she came looking for me," Smith said. "She was shivering terribly."
The 6:25 a.m. quake occurred at a depth of about 5 miles (8 kilometers). There were several aftershocks, including one of 2.7 magnitude that caused very minor shaking, Graves said.
The quake was felt as far away as Orange County to the south and Santa Barbara to the north.
It was one of the largest to hit Los Angeles since the 6.7-magnitude Northridge quake killed several dozen people and caused $25 billion in damage two decades ago, USGS seismologist Lucy Jones told KABC-TV.
A magnitude-4.7 quake struck near Inglewood in 2009, she said.
Broadcasters live on the air immediately announced that an earthquake was occurring. Anchors at KTLA-TV took cover underneath their desk before quickly resuming the broadcast by seeking USGS information.
The quake was somewhat unusual because of its location within the Santa Monica Mountains, a 40-mile (64-kilometer)-long range that crosses Los Angeles and stretches west through Malibu to Ventura County.
The quake was, however, "par for the course in Southern California" and likely would be studied only briefly to understand how it fits in with previous activity, Hauksson said.
Southern California has been in a seismic lull since significant quakes of the 1980s and 1990s. Whether Monday's quake signaled an end to that "earthquake drought" won't be known for many months because it takes a long period to show whether the rate of activity has changed, he said.

Clara is a Spanish VOCALOID developed and distributed by Voctro Labs, S.L., and was released in December 2011 for the VOCALOID3 engine. She, along with Bruno, were among the first Spanish voicebanks commercially distributed. Her voice provider has never been revealed.
"Clara" is a female given name. It is the feminine form of the late Latin name "Clarus" which meant "clear, bright, famous".[2]
Her initial concept and overall appearance were done by Raimon Benach. When the illustration contest was performed, the Spanish company requested to the participants to keep the overall design of the original illustration. Rumple's winning entry was adopted as the new official art.
With the release of the boxed versions, the design had a new revision done by Rumple. The new design had a more daring look, but kept the previous design. Among the major changes, Clara's shirt is now transparent, her highlights changed from white to blond, and her body build is less skinny.
- Bruno; a complementary voicebank with masculine vocals.
VOCALOID ReleasesEdit
Examples of UsageEdit
| To our readers and editors, for section notes please read; this page.
Before adding translated or subbed videos, please read this tutorial in order not to list gravely mistranslated ones.
|Más que Nada
|Music featuring Clara
Clara and Bruno were aimed at Spanish music professionals and were the first VOCALOIDs aimed at Spanish culture. They do not incorporate the moe-esque[3] style of some Japanese VOCALOIDs. Their designs are aimed more towards a retrospective Western art style.
Clara and Bruno had a fanart competition.[4] The contest was done in response to the disappointment of the artwork from anime fans.[5] The winners were announced on the 19th of December.[6] Although Voctro-Labs stated at the beginning of the contest they may not adopt the winning piece, Rumple's winning entry became the new official design.
Clara and Bruno have an official Facebook page.
Clara, along with ONA and Bruno, were scheduled to participate in a small live concert to be realized in Parc de la Ciutadella, as part of the celebrations of La Mercè festival.
Additional informationEdit
|Clara Popularity
| Clara suffered backlash based on her illustration, mainly for lacking an anime-like design or referred to as not having the appearance of a Vocaloid, with some went as far as to label Clara and Bruno as "ugly". However, within the Spanish fandom, there have been reports of strong defense from fans of the pair and Vocaloid. The voice type itself has been said to be appealing in general, despite the issues some fans had with the boxart.
By March 2012, Bruno and Clara were amongst the least popular of the VOCALOID3 voicebanks. Though together they are more popular than Tonio, neither surpassed his popularity when weighed in separately.[7]
|The reaction towards the initial artwork may have had a later impact on future VOCALOIDs, and was one of the theories put forward as the reason Yamaha rejected the original non-"anime-esque" design for AVANNA.[8]

We selected Chula Vista for a two day business meeting and this is not the first time we've been here for this meeting. It's a bit smaller than the other resorts in Wis Dells, so you have a little less of the family traffic wandering in and around your meeting spaces.
I've stayed in the two bedroom condos nearly every time I've been here and, truly, I want to live here!! The condo units are very, very spacious. You have a full kitchen (outfitted with the very basic essentials in the cupboards, but still.. you have them!) and a breakfast bar and a couple of stools along with a smaller round dining room table and four chairs. The living, dining, kitchen areas are all open to each other, but if you're staying at Chula for a family getaway, that's perfect because you want to be all together and this is a great space to do that! There is one separate bedroom with a kingsized bed, it's own TV, a fireplace and an en-suite bathroom.. There is a second room with two queen sized beds and another TV. There is a second bathroom off the open living area which is your normal hotel - style bathroom, just
with some very nice finishes! Both bedrooms can be closed off and are very private. Several of my meeting attendees joked that their condo rooms were bigger than their first apartments! Oh... did I mention that the living room area also has a fireplace AND a whirlpool tub? Yes, I really would love to live in one of those condos!
As for my meeting, as in the past, I was very pleased with Chula Vista and their meeting and banquet staff. I've worked with Jane and Amber now a few times and they are TOP NOTCH! Every request was handled almost immediately and very professionally. Even tho' every meeting space in the place was booked, and our meeting was rather small compared to the other events taking place there, we were still treated as if we were the only group there! Our meals were excellent (breakfast, two lunches and one dinner buffet). Our group did experience an extremely long wait to check in, due to the fact that the computer system went down right at the time my group of 50 all went to check in... but some complimentary beverages for the folks waiting in line took some of the edge off the frustration! Good thinking to the Chula Vista manager who decided to do that!!
Chula Vista is a resort, so yes, things are pretty spread out, however this place is not nearly as huge as some of the others in the Wisconsin Dells area and they do have shuttles that will drive you from the main front desk to the condos, or, as in our case, from the main resort to the golf course clubhouse, where we had dinner for our goup one night.
Their location is a bit out of the way if you're coming to the Dells to experience all of the attractions and activities, but that location is simply beautiful. We've been here in the summer and the winter and the view of the River in either season is stunning!
I love Chula Vista, whether it's for a business meeting, a family weekend away or a romantic getaway with my husband. We will most certainly return here!

Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring - Problem 11 504 views
To solve a quadratic equation by factoring, it first has to e equal to zero, which we call standard form. Start by multiplying out any products (like distributing of FOILing), and then move all terms to the same side of the equal sign. Rewrite it so that the exponents go in decreasing order. Then factor, and use the zero product property to find your final solutions. Since there are so many steps and so many places to make errors, be sure to check your final solutions by substituting each one in one at a time to the original equation.

June 19, 2003 Albany-Despite that decline in the number of first-time unemployment claims, the overal unemployment rate is higher than it's been in nine years.
The decrease in first-time claims and a better than expected report of Leading Economic Indicators today are positive signs, but don't show a real economic turnaround. The traffic flow in Albany's unemployment office has remained fairly consistent, but there have been some new job openings recently.
"In Albany, you are seeing some slow job growth, you are seeing that in retail, construction. You are seeing that in a broad way across the community," said Mike Flowers, Career Center Manager at Albany's state Labor Department office.
Flowers says we won't see major job growth here until new industry comes into the area.

~ Natural Gas Powered Ford F-450 and F-550 Available in 2013 ~
VANCOUVER, Dec. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Westport Innovations Inc. (TSX:WPT) (NASDAQ:WPRT), the global leader in natural gas engines, today announced that it will expand its product offerings with the introduction of natural gas powered versions of the Ford F-450 and F-550 Super Duty trucks in mid-2013. The new product additions will complement the already proven Westport WiNG™ System powered Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks.
"The timing is right. Our CNG bifuel systems for Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks have been very well received and as a result, our customers are making increasing requests for customized options and natural gas trucks with higher gross weights," said John Lapetz, Vice President, North America Vehicle Programs, Westport LD.
A leader in responding to market and customer demands, Westport's is expanding its product line to further serve delivery and utility companies, energy-industry fleets and government. The new 2013 F-450 and F-550 trucks will be built at the Westport Kentucky Integration Center (WKIC), an exclusive Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifier (QVM) audited facility, located adjacent to Ford Motor Company's Kentucky Truck Plant. Consistent with the WiNG System powered F-250s and F-350s that are currently built at WKIC, the new models will be assembled using a fully integrated system and will undergo the same rigorous validation for safety and durability used by Ford. Trucks will be delivered using the Ford transportation system providing cost efficiencies in delivery to the end customer.
Westport is also currently developing relationships with service body companies to offer installation of second unit bodies on its F-250 and F-350 pickup trucks. In addition to the installation of the Westport WiNG™ System, customers may now choose the option to install second unit bodies with a single ship through, saving significant time and delivery costs. These service body options will also be available on the new F-450 and F-550 models.
Westport continues to be the market leader in helping to drive down the cost of natural gas vehicles. The Westport WiNG™ System is already priced at an industry-leading $9,500, making natural gas vehicles (NGVs) more affordable and accessible for U.S. truck fleets. The new natural gas powered Ford F-450 and F-550 Super Duty truck models will be offered at an equally competitive price, saving fleets between 25 and 40 percent in fuel costs with positive payback demonstrated in two years. The new models will be available exclusively through Westport's authorized Ford dealerships giving customers the fully integrated OEM ownership experience they have come to expect with Westport.

SLS AMG Struts Its Stuff At The Nurburgring
Despite all the exposure you see of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG on the Internet, actual sightings of this car in real life are not that common. So when we see one in the flesh, we make the most of the experience. In the video clip that follows, we see an SLS AMG initially parked at the world-famous Nurburgring, a track where immature drivers need not apply. While all vehicles are welcome at the Nurburgring (you even see the occasional bus!), the most common cars you see are Porsches and other cars of similar performance. Thus, it's a pleasure to see this SLS AMG being driven hard, as high performance cars… Continue Reading »

"The narrator really makes a difference"
I did not like the narrator but think the story could have been good. Maybe I'll give it another try.
"Loved the book!"
I REALLY enjoyed this book. I thought it was well written, well-performed and just overall a good book. Probably one of the best I've listened to in a long time.
"Great story!!"
Peter Giles is an excellent narrator!! What a good book! Peter really brought me into the story and allowed me to connect with the characters.
"Good story- definitely better than the movie"
I definitely enjoyed the book. I thought Emily Gray narrated the story well. The book itself was definitely not like the movie. So you can think of them as separate stories. They are similar but not the same at all.

WeŌĆÖve been publishing the Military Page since Jan. 31. I didnŌĆÖt know how it would play with our readers, figuring maybe we could get some early interest before things waned. After three months, the pictures of veterans keep coming in. Family members are dropping off treasured photos each week, often including a note telling us how much pride they take in the service of their siblings, most of whom are deceased but still very alive in the memories of the family they left behind.
EAST PROVIDENCE ŌĆö It was last October when Robin Robinson, wife of five-time X Games' BMX gold medalist and Riverside native Kevin Robinson, received a phone call from Carousel Park Commission representative Tracy Johnson.
When Johnson explained she wanted to donate all proceeds from a two-hour block of carousel rides to the K-ROB Foundation, a non-profit organization which raises money to help East Providence youngsters remain active in sports, the Robinson family was floored ŌĆö and thrilled.
MOOSIC, Pa. ŌĆō What is the PawSoxŌĆÖ response to all the injuries and call-ups currently sweeping through the clubhouse? In the immortal words of Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis, ŌĆ£just win baby.ŌĆØ
On a day that saw the promotion of shortstop phenom Jose Iglesias to Boston, the PawSox maintained their winning edge, besting Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, 5-4, at PNC Field. The victory allows second-place Pawtucket (17-13) to move within a half-game of Scranton, the top team in the I.L. North. The PawSox wound up taking the four-game series, 3-1.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆō No regrets. No bitterness. No remorse.
Pride and a sense of accomplishment can remain intact even if the ultimate goal is never reached. No matter if he didnŌĆÖt reach the sportŌĆÖs ultimate holy grail after toiling for nine years in the minor leagues. Karl Allaire does not have a sense that something is missing, that somehow his career should have ŌĆ£incompleteŌĆØ rubberstamped on it because he never reached the majors. The Woonsocket native can look back in earnest and take comfort that he put his best foot forward, that he gave it his best shot.
LINCOLN --- It was six years ago today when Mike Monteleone, a 14-year-old freshman on the Lincoln High junior varsity baseball team, tragically died of cardiac arrest during his teamŌĆÖs afternoon practice.
MonteleoneŌĆÖs untimely passing not only affected the community and the high school, it also hit home at Lincoln Middle School, where MonteleoneŌĆÖs sister, Jenna, was a sixth-grade student.
WOOD RIVER JUNCTION ŌĆō Back in February Central Falls coach Brian Palazzo remarked that junior Steven Vazquez, ŌĆ£has a motor that doesnŌĆÖt stop.ŌĆØ Palazzo also added that he expected Vazquez to flourish during the outdoor season, given that Vazquez would not be divvying up his time between basketball and high jumping, which is the case during the winter months.

Poured from the bottle into a wheat ale glass.
Classic large soapy and very big white rocking Hefe making head out of the bottle. Huge soapy retention that just doesn't go anywhere. A bit of a dark amber orange and slightly dull yellow body, considerably darker than most but not very clear, but with matching rising plentiful carbonation. Pretty solid.
Nose is real nice to match. Some mild clove spice, chewy wheat malt, and there's an interesting estery note to this that is more like cherry or red fruit, than the classic bubblegum and banana. Really nice I dig this not sure where this is going.
Palate seems to match the cherry fruit quality from the nose. Malt density is lacking with a bit of a watery finish, but some of the cherry fruit manages to perkelate in the mid palate. Finish is also a bit metallic and has a bit of a tin aftertaste. Warmth gives a bit more clove and classic hefe character, with some subdued bitterness.
It's not bad, but the metallic and tin notes on it are a bit too noticeable and particularly take away my enjoyment of what starts out to be a pretty decent brew.

3.35/5 rDev -7.5%
A: Poured from draft into pint glass. A single
finger head with active carbonation. A light
maize color. Not a cloud in the sky for this
transparent brew.
S: Virtually odorless save for a the slightest
hints of alcohol/malt.
T: Not as candy and bananas as I had expected
from reading other reviews and basic
expectations of the style. There is a herbal
taste on the back of the tongue and the
requisite bananas and sweetness are present
but not overly so.
M/D: This is a thin beer with little body and
comes in a little short on overall
character. I will be much more prone to
choose a good hefe or wit over this version
of the krystal.

Appearance: light golden amber, thin Lacey head, and quite clear for this filtered wheat.
Smell: yeast with hints of banana, honey, and clove
Taste: wheat malty, slight citrus
Drinkability is good. The body is medium with a little carbonation. I had this in a bottle as well poured into a pint glass.

Served as part of a sampler at the brewery in Afton, VA along w/ five other beers (four others brewed there, and one guest beer).
Appearance was very nice, crisp, clear, golden, slightly bubbly, and almost no head, quickly disappearing lacing.
Smell was sweet and fruity, light citrus notes, esters very prevalent - banana, I believe, as well as cloves.
Taste was initially very nice, sweet and crisp, with a refreshing, clean aftertaste - just as in the nose, notes of banana and cloves were prominent.
Mouthfeel was decent, minimal carbonation, crisp, and very light.
Drinkability is not terribly great, however - after finishing with the sampler, I ordered this beer, and found the taste to diminish rather quickly with time, to where I wasn't really enjoying the beer by the time I was halfway through it. Never a good sign. However, it remains an interesting - if typical - attempt at the style.

12 oz bottle poured into glass
A: Poured pretty clear to start with good looking carbonation. Once I swirled the remaining brew and poured the rest it got nice and cloudy. Color was on the golden side with about 1/2 a fingers worth of head that settled to a thin layer with very little lacing.
S: I'm getting the average stuff.... Citrus, banana esters, and a touch of clove.
T: I'm getting a mix of wheat and citrus right up front with touches of banana and clove at the finish. Very clean
M: Light bodied, nicely carbonated, dryer than I thought it might be. Overall very clean.
D: Pretty average for the style. Worth looking for in the VA.

Pours a clear golden with a rocky head. Good retention.
Aroma is wheat beer like. Yeasty, some notes of citrus, banana.
Taste is wheat beer like...yeasty and citrusy and banana.
Mouthfeel is okay. I think its too watered down. Taste is fine, but the finish makes it have the consistency of water. Even though wheats are supposed to be light, they shouldn't be this thin. Flavor profile is good, though, and it still delivers. Drinkable.

Reviewed from notes.
Pours a very light straw color that would be transparent but for the bit of yeasty haze. White head and a bit of lacing. Nose brings some banana and clove alongside some soft wheat. Taste consists of very faint German yeast and a mild sweetness. Pretty light mouthfeel with a good dose of carbonation. Nothing really stands out about this beer, but it drinks pretty well overall.

Hi. There was this movie posted on crunchy roll awhile back. I think it was in celebration/memory of a director/creator. It was in three short stories all revolving around the same guy. I'll describe as much of it as I remember.
The first one is him on a train during a heavy snow storm going to see a childhood friend. Even though the train is delayed due to the snow she waits for him in the station. Stuff happens, etc, they kiss, but realize they won't be able to be together since they're leaving for different high schools soon.
The second one is him in high school. He writes e-mails to himself randomly. There is a girl who has a crush on him but he doesn't notice her. She times her trips home with his for the time together. She eventually realizes he'll never notice her and gives up crying in her bed.
The third is him as an adult in the working world. (Don't remember too much about this part) He quits for some reason. There are alot of cherry blossoms in the closing scene.
Any help would be appreciated. I feel a little guilty posting this with there being a few of these "Help Me Identify This Anime" threads but this has been bugging me for months now.[/COLOR]

Ted Nash- Alto Sax
Frank Kimbrough- Piano
Jay Anderson- Bass
Matt Wilson- Drums
Born in Los Angeles, multi-instrumentalist Ted Nash's interest in music started at an early age. Exposed to music and encouraged by his father, trombonist Dick Nash, and uncle, reedman Ted Nash – both well-known studio and jazz musicians – the younger Nash started playing the piano when he was seven. By the time he turned 12, he had started playing the clarinet; a year later Nash had picked up the alto sax.
Nash's first gig came when he was only 16. At that young juncture he played a week in Hawaii with legendary vibraphonist Lionel Hampton. The same year he won an audition to play lead alto with the Quincy Jones band, and by the time he was 17 Nash had toured Europe, appeared on three records, and was performing regularly with the likes of Don Ellis, Louie Bellson and Toshiko Akiyoshi, as well as leading his own quintet.
When he turned 18, Nash moved to New York City. It wasn't long before he had recorded _Conception _(Concord), his first album as a leader. During his first three years in New York Nash became a regular member of the Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra, an association that would last ten years.
DownBeat Magazine _recognized Nash as a Rising Star in the alto and tenor saxophone categories in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2008. Still Evolved (Palmetto) earned mention on the magazine's 'Best CD list' as well. Odeon, one of Nash's current groups, likewise has garnered much attention in the jazz world and received features and in-depth mentions from publications such as The New York Times, Village Voice, Boston Globe, and New York Newsday.
Said the Los Angeles Times after hearing this group at the Jazz Bakery, one of the area's best clubs: 'You say jazz is having trouble these days finding a creative focus? Don't believe it. Go to the Jazz Bakery tonight to hear saxophonist Ted Nash's marvelous group Odeon, and any doubts will quickly be dispelled. What this Los Angeles native is demonstrating with Odeon is the fact that — far from being on a down slope — jazz is in a period of extraordinary opportunity.'
In addition to leading his own groups, Nash has been very instrumental in the New York-based Jazz Composers Collective. Nash has also been intricately involved with Jazz at Lincoln Center, and during tenure there has contributed to a great deal of the orchestra's repertoire, including his acclaimed work "Portrait in Seven Shades."
Writing in The New York Times, critic Nate Chenin noted that 'Mr. Nash came to the band with a wellspring of jazz experience,' but that it 'took a while to adjust,' given his modern leanings with the Composers Collective. 'It didn't take long for Mr. Nash to lay claim to what Mr. Marsalis calls 'the wildcard chair' in the band.' Chenin would then quote Marsalis as follow: 'He plays, on a virtuosic level, all of the reed instruments. He plays them all perfectly in tune, and has a personality on each one that's different.'

Awaste of time?! Heck, no! This is a good start. Please continue.
I have only one small criticism. In private, Arwen would address her husband as Estel, not Elessar.

October 3, 2013: Let's put together a jobs report!
Good morning,
Day Three in Shutdown City begins. And the politicians, unfortunately, aren't any closer about addressing the underlying concerns that have created the ongoing budget impasse. That means no monthly jobs report tomorrow from the Bureau of Labor Statistics!
Pretty weak, Washington. Without a jobs report, won't be able to update our running tally of manufacturing jobs created during President Obama's second term -- we call it the #AAMeter -- like we normally do.
No jobs report? No problem: At the Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM) we are compiling our own.
AAM wants to hear your jobs stories. Did someone you know get a job this month? Did you? Did family, a friend or an acquaintance start, or stop, looking for work? Then want to know about it. Tell us about your job-hunting experiences, the hurdles you faced, and your successes or failures in your community. We want the jobs outlook in your America.
While politicians sit on their hands, help us tell the story that the jobs data can't and Washington won't: that of the U.S. economy. Email your personal jobs report to firstname.lastname@example.com, tweet it to us at @keeptimadeinUSA, or contact us via Facebook.
Elsewhere around the web:
It's not all about the shutdown on Capitol Hill. Democrats in Congress are raising issues with the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal that the Obama administration is in the midst of negotiating. Writes Bloomberg's Brian Wingfield:
'I am worried the agreement will not in practice level the playing field for American companies,' trying to compete against state-run corporations, Representative Mike Michaud, a Maine Democrat, said in a Sept. 25 letter to U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman.
Succinct and well said, Rep. Michaud. That puts you in line with a majority of your House colleagues, a majority of the U.S. Senate, and the American auto industry.
The shutdown begins to hit manufacturing. As the federal government continues to suspend spending, defense contractors and manufacturers are being forced to furlough workers or halt production, report the Wall Street Journal's (WSJ) James R. Hagerty, Doug Cameron, and John W. Miller. And manufacturers are concerned:
The impasse compounds the situation for U.S. manufacturers already nervous about the new health-care law and a wobbly U.S. economy. After hitting a low of about 11.5 million in early 2010, U.S. manufacturing employment recovered to nearly 12 million in mid-2012 but since then has stagnated.
The recent American energy boom is set to make the U.S. the world's leading producer of oil and natural gas -- if it hasn't already, reveals a WSJ analysis. Russell Gold and Daniel Gilbert report that the America produced the equivalent of about 22 million barrels a day of oil, natural gas and related fuels in July, according to figures from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
As for your shutdown-themed manufacturing fact?
The Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM) is presenting Huddle, Politico's weekday morning newsletter that previews what's happening every morning on Capitol Hill. Click here to sign up and get it in your email.
Happy Thursday America! Don't forget to send us your jobs report. If Washington can't be bothered to issue one, then AAM and American workers will step up to the plate.
And a final note...tomorrow is Manufacturing Day. A lot of factories around the country are opening their doors for manufacturing enthusiasts. Check out the website to find one near you!

Although there have been a few standouts, the Nebraska Cornhuskers certainly need to upgrade their talent at their skill positions.
They took a nice step towards doing that on Wednesday when they got a commitment from 3-star wide receiver Spencer Tears.
The 6'2, 175-pound Tears attends Harold L. Richards High School in in Oak Lawn, Illinois.
"He went up there with his family and really had a good time," Tears' head coach Tony Sheehan said. "He got to see the place, loved what he saw. They just fell in love with the place. They thought that was the right place. He came back talked with his mom and they went over pros and cons of all the places he's been and have recruited him so far. They just felt Nebraska was the right place and he didn't want to waste any time."
Tears is ranked as the 88th best wide receiver prospect, the 12th best overall prospect in the state of Illinois and the 632nd best overall prospect in the class of 2015, according to 24/7 Sports' composite rankings.
Tears also had offers from Akron Zips, Indiana Hoosiers and Purdue Boilermakers, among others.

A true "comic's comic," Bobby Slayton, often referred to as "The Pitbull of Comedy," has been performing his own intense style of stand-up comedy for over 20 years, becoming one of the best known, respected, and energetic comics working today.
Audiences around the country may recognize Bobby from his scene-stealing roles in movies such as "Get Shorty," "Ed Wood," "Bandits" and most recently "Dreamgirls." He's been seen on dozens of television shows including "The Tonight Show" and "Politically Incorrect." Bobby's many appearances on HBO have included "Comic Relief "& his own stand-up special. He was a series regular on the HBO series "Mind of a Married Man," and played 'Joey Bishop' opposite Ray Liotta and Joe Mantegna in the critically acclaimed film "The Rat Pack."
Slayton's distinctive gravelly voice has often been heard on animated shows like "Dr. Katz'" and "Family Guy," as well as many popular radio shows across the country including Howard Stern, Kevin & Bean, and Tom Leykis.
The NY Daily News called Slayton "Armed and Dangerous", the Las Vegas Review Journal pointed out that "Slayton's refusal to comprise his art has always made him worth a special trip" and the American Comedy Awards voted him "Funniest Male Stand-up Comic of the Year".

"Later he told someone that it felt like I was the son he never had," Scully said.
When you hear older people rattle off the numbers with such precision, you know how vivid sports are. Scully said this Dodgers team reminded him of the '55 world champions.
"They won 10 right out of the chute, and then they lost 2 of 3, and then 10 more – I think they were 22-2," he said, correctly.
And he talked of playing center field for Fordham against Yale, which had George H.W. Bush at first base. Much later, Scully told him, "As long as you're in the White House you can remember it however you want, but remember we were both 0 for 3."
Scully's best collegiate day was a 3 for 4 against NYU. His favorite part of that story is the next morning, when he grabbed the paper. He was only mentioned once: "After Scully struck out …"
Reticence was once a virtue. There is no false humility when Scully says he sees no need to take a bow.
"My career is talking about the accomplishments of others," he said. "I'm always hoping for a close game, a wonderful play. The more the talent is exposed, the happier I am."
On cue, the Dodgers and Red Sox went out and played one for him. They walked nobody, made no errors, pitched brilliantly and executed the 2-0 Dodgers victory in 2:07.
Scully got home well before the 11 o'clock news, of which he was a part. He clearly is not ready to make the kind of news that interrupts programs and dumps giant cannonballs into our lives.
