|Does anybody here know how and why there are so many anime titles that air after midnight in Japan? If you look at most of the Japanese websites for an anime, they usually show air times in the 1 and 2 AM slots... does that mean even Azumanga Daioh wasn't meant for kids?

If the title features a large cast of females, most of whom look younger than their stated age, and most have large, watery eyes without much detail within the circumference of the iris, then it's probably a seinen title (males 18-40). Azumanga Daioh is a good example of this. If the eyes were sparkling instead, then it's probably a shoujo title.
You have probably been looking at titles that are seinen. Without actually making a tally, I would guess that a number of titles disproportionate to viewing size belong in the older category, simply because they're the ones who can afford to buy the DVDs.

Titles even such as Haruhi and Lucky Star were also late nighters, because of their projected target audience in Japan. This is often the case when it comes to seinen titles, a hint of how you tell they are a seinen title would be from what magazine the manga may be serialized in. There are some cases however, when even shonen titles will be shown on late night television. Examples of this includes Death Note and Grappler Baki.
Most of your anime during the daytime will be kids shows, targeted towards grade school kids whether they are male or female. And just think of their Saturday and Sunday morning cartoons. Sometimes you might find a show that may cross the lines of blood and sexual innuendo to make it into the Saturday morning or weekday afternoon lineup.

|Believe it or not but most anime aimed at otakus are not popular in the mainstream.

AzuDai was a seinen anime based on a seinen manga. Whilst there's not much in it that would make it unsuitable for older children (it got a 12 certificate when released here in Britian) they certainly weren't its intended demographic.
And the reasons that most anime shows (other than the stuff on children's TV) airs late at night are -
a) Anime in Japan isn't nearly as mainstream as most Western fans seem to think it is - certainly far less so than manga. For the most part TV companies can expect more viewers for live-action than for anime.
b) Japan has pretty strict content rules for TV and a lot of anime couldn't be shown earlier.
c) Companies making niche otaku orientated anime often have to pay TV stations to air their shows (as a kind of advert for later DVD sales). Late night slots are affordable, prime time slots aren't.

Dengeki Daioh is my favorite (along with Wings) and seems to have a nice variety (Crest of the Stars, Gunslinger Girl, Kashimashi, Kamichu) of titles unlike many popular publications like Jump and Nakayoshi who seem to be more demographic based.
Figure 17 was ran in Dengeki Daioh and if anything this is even more kid friendly (I think I've seen it listed 7+) than Azumanga. The same goes for Strawberry Marshmallows which I'm sure has also been misidentified as shoujo.

And other type of programs in Japan?

Yes, I've read (possibly in Jason Thompson's book?) that Dengeki Daioh has a rather larger proportion of female readers than most seinen magazines. And I suppose most seinen and josei magazines have a wider age target than shonen and shoujo titles that are pretty limited in that regard by definition.
I would have thought that Strawberry Marshmallow was more aimed at adult men with an unhealthy interest in children than at the children themselves...

|Same here in the United States. It really sucks because there's new anime I'm interested in watching but they're only on Adult Swim, which shows anime in the wee morning hours. School and tiredness do not mix. I was thinking of starting a new weekday schedule. Waking up at 4am, hopping on the computer while Adult Swim is on television. That'd allow me the time to get a lot done as I do writings about anime, don't have to worry about running late in the mornings, its good! Although I'm not sure that will happen right off -- only when there is chance of a snow day on that day (like today). We'll see!

Same goes here in our place when we still had WOWOW in our cable TV system. Well, maybe it's because of the R-15 rating. Pretty much like R rating in the States. But there were some that aired during early primetime. (The Sanada 10 was one example.)
That's why some good titles will never, ever reach the Philippines via the Big Two (ABS-CBN, GMA), because editing the "bad parts" will ruin the entire show. ANIMAX? They've tried, but are still testing the waters. ABS-CBN's anime channel HERO TV, though, had a shot with Maburaho.

Food Blogging
I am totally new at this! Here are some of the resources I've found helpful so far.
- Kiersten Frase of Oh My Veggies recently published an awesome e-book called How to Monetize Your Food Blog, which really demystifies the process of optimizing your ads in addition to explaining several other sources of income. Click below to check it out (affiliate link):
- Lindsay Ostrom of Pinch of Yum wrote a fabulous e-book on food photography, which helped me a lot with improving my photos and getting them posted on recipe submission sites. Click below to learn more (this is an affiliate link):
- Pinch of Yum also has this great page about getting started with a food blog, and this page with resources for bloggers.
- Cookie and Kate has a nice post about starting a food blog.
Recipe Submission Sites
This is a great way to get traffic to your blog! Plus, these sites are so much fun to browse. I find Dishfolio accepts submissions more readily than the others, so it's a good place to start.
Essential Cookbooks
These are the cookbooks I use constantly to guide and inspire me in the kitchen. I hope you'll find them as useful as I do!
Reference Cookbooks
I use these to look up new ingredients or find a recipe for a particular kind of food. You wouldn't just sit down and read these cover to cover, but you NEED at least one of them in your kitchen.
This is the first place I look when I come across a new fruit or vegetable, or want the basics on something like how to make tomato sauce. I am already getting upset looking at this link because I don't have the latest edition, and I want it! Mark Bittman is the ultimate authority in my kitchen.This book is a must-have, and is the cookbook my mom always went to for help. It's extremely comprehensive! My biggest problem with it is that it takes so long to find things in the ridiculously lengthy index.
My mom got this for me, and it is the perfect thing for nerdy foodies. Want to know about how the protein-gluten bonds in flour affect the crumb of your cake? This is the source for you.
= This is my favorite French cookbook!
Cookbooks with Beautiful Photographs
Okay, one of my favorite hobbies is just sitting down with a beautifully-photographed cookbook and reading it from cover to cover. As you can see, I'm a little obsessed with the Barefoot Contessa books, but I've found some other good ones as well.
Here's my second favorite Ina Garten cookbook. I love it because a lot of the recipes are easy and simple, but still delicious and flavorful.
You love this blog, right? You will love the cookbook, too!
This cookbook is so gorgeous! It's huge, so you should probably keep it on your coffee table. These are real Mexican recipes, not Tex-Mex or watered-down Americanized dishes. Some of the ingredients might surprise you, but all the recipes I've tried are delicious!
Have you been to whatsgabycooking.com? It's one of my favorite food blogs, and this is Gaby's fabulous avocado cookbook.

Measuring trade in value added in the new industrial economy: statistical implications
AbstractVertical integration of production processes at international level and the resulting fragmentation of the value chains increasingly question the relevance of traditional trade indicators. Intermediate productions are increasingly offshored within these global value chains, giving place to what is known as "trade in tasks". The paper presents some experiences of alternative measures of international trade in terms of the value added generated by this process. The strength with which the concept of value added has imposed itself as the yardstick for the measurement of international trade has very fruitful analytical implications in the context of national accounts. A second part shows how the international statistical system has responded to the obvious risk of obsolescence by launching a series of joint initiatives in order to adapt all the instruments of the statistician's "tool-box": classifications, balance of payments and national accounts manuals. Conclusions highlight the remaining challenges, as well as the divergences that persist among the groups of experts in relation to the proposed reforms and their normative and practical impacts.

D-backs' Bloomquist embraces playing different positions
Originally published: Feb 25, 2013 - 5:15 pm
Except this time, the letters next to Bloomquist's name read "LF".
Bloomquist is better known for his skills in the middle-infield, specifically at shortstop, but he's also known as a team player willing to fill in where needed. Sometimes that includes left field.
"It's something I need to be able to do, whether it's for WBC (World Baseball Classic) reasons or for Diamondbacks reasons, it doesn't matter to me," said the 35-year-old after Monday's 16-4 loss to the Royals. "It's something that I've done before and it's something I need to be prepared to do."
Team USA manager Joe Torre could use Bloomquist as a backup for Jimmy Rollins at shortstop or he could insert him in the outfield. Either way, the veteran major leaguer is accustomed to being flexible in his role.
"I've been asked to do that plenty of times in my career, to move positions and bounce around, so this is the best place to do it and get comfortable at it again," said Bloomquist when asked about playing left field during spring training.
D-backs manager Kirk Gibson also acknowledged that could be part of the reason he put Willie in the outfield against Kansas City.
"He's been there before and he might get some time out there in the WBC so I wanted to get him out there. And the other thing is we're just kind of short on outfielders right now."
Bloomquist didn't make any errors in left Monday but he did struggle with a fly ball early, and that was frustrating for a guy who prides himself on not making mistakes.
"First ball was a little bit tough, I got kind of right there in the sun but it's part of spring training," he said. "You don't like to get them the first one out of the shoot, it kind of puts you on your heels but it is what it is, you adjust and make the next play."
Gibson agreed with Bloomquist's assessment that it's good to get the first game out of the way and learn from mistakes.
"It's his first time out and it was kind of one of those out over the head, in the sun, tailing. That's not an easy one and that's one of the reasons we put him out there so he can get some comfort and next time he'll be more comfortable out there."
Bloomquist did play in the outfield twice last season for the D-backs but has not spent any extended time working or playing there. He's happy to get this time during spring training to work on his game when the games "don't count."
"It's much easier to do it now and get the jitters out than it is mid-season," he said. "It's just something I need to be able to do and need to be able to move around if that's what they need me to do on this team or the WBC."

College News
Dollinger Named Notable Alum by Alma Mater
Dr. Marilyn Dollinger, assistant dean of the Wegmans School of Nursing, was recently named one of 90 notable alums by her alma mater, the University of Toronto.
The university created the list of notable alums to celebrate the nursing faculty's 90th anniversary.
The list was published in Pulse, the university's alumni magazine. When introducing the 90 alums recognized, the article read: "Many of our Notable 90 believed in something-a radically new nursing school, a novel nursing association-that didn't exist, except in their imagination. They worked tirelessly until their vision manifested in bricks and mortar, or in a membership list."

Bundesviertel (Federal Government District)
Bundesviertel (Federal Government District) Review
Walking through the pleasant area that was once the government district is like taking a trip back in time, to an era when Bonn was still the sleepy capital of West Germany. Bordered by Adenauerallee, Kaiser-Friedrich-Strasse, Franz-Josef-Strasse, and the Rhine, the quarter boasts sights such as the Bundeshaus, which includes the Plenarsaal (plenary hall). Designed to serve as the new Federal Parliament, the Bundeshaus was completed only seven years before the capital was relocated to Berlin in 1999. A few steps away, you'll find the historic Villa Hammerschmidt, the German equivalent of the White House. This stylish neoclassical mansion began serving as the Federal president's permanent residence in 1950, and is still his home when he stays in Bonn. Equally impressive is the Palais Schaumburg, another fine example of the Rhein Riveria estates that once housed the Federal Chancellery (1949–76). It became the center of Cold War politics during the Adenauer administration. Tours of the quarter, including a visit to the Villa Hammerschmidt, are offered by the Bonn Tourist Office.

Dr. Dre
Dr. Dre first made history as N.W.A.'s pioneering rapper-producer, but he's arguably had just as much impact as a label executive behind some of hip hop's biggest icons: He co-founded G-funk stronghold Death Row Records, which launched Snoop's career and was a home to Tupac as well. He then started Aftermath Entertainment, home to Eminem and 50 Cent.

First Snowstorm of the 2013-2014 Season for Minnesota and Wisconsin Slated for Tuesday
We all knew it had to happen sooner or later.
We all knew it had to happen sooner or later.
The City of Duluth golf courses announced they will be closed this week. If you want to play golf you have to go outside right away. October 30th will be the last day at Enger Park, Lester Park is closed as of the 27th.
I must admit I'm a bit of a weather junkie. My phone is stacked with weather/radar apps, my radios all have weather stations on them, and I continually bug Adam Clark about the weather forecasts. I guess in you live in the Northland, weather is always on our minds. Accuweather has just released their predictions for this Winter season nationwide.
A series of strong storms swept through the Twin Ports region yesterday, including an afternoon storm that brought gusty winds and small hail to Duluth around lunchtime. Later in the day, a severe thunderstorm about 70 miles west of Duluth touched down near Remer, and tracked southeast toward Hill City.
It was a tad scary last night as the National Weather Service came over my radio with a Tornado Warning for Douglas county. Man did it rain, and luckily the storm headed over Solon Springs and turned so we were out of danger in Lake nebagamon.
With forecasted temperatures just over 90 degrees today, we might break the record of 89 set for this day. The heat and high humidity has prompted the National Weather Service to issue a heat advisory effective from 11 am to 8 pm Tuesday for heat index values between 95 and 105 through the Twin Ports, and along the North and South Shores of Lake Superior. How can you prevent health-related issues for yourself and those around you?
The Duluth Fire Department issued a Red Flag Warning yesterday. It's not the first time they have done this for Park Point Beaches, and it won't be the last. A Red Flag Warning means that wind and/or wave conditions support deadly rip currents. Rip currents are life-threatening to anyone entering the surf.
Grandma's Marathon is this weekend, and runners and spectators alike want to know what the weather will bring for the big race and the rest of the weekend's activities. Weather can vary between the starting location in Two Harbors and the finish line in Duluth, and as those who live in the Northland know, weather can change greatly from one hour to the next; so what will the weather be like for Grandma's Marathon?
Don't look now, but hurricane season is here.
Having lived in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, I'm no stranger to tornadoes.With the devastating tornado on Moore Oklahoma yesterday, a brief explanation coupled with a video might help those who wonder how tornadoes form in the first place.
An enormous tornado with a debris cloud two miles wide tore through the metropolitan area just south of Oklahoma City on Monday afternoon.
UPDATE 9:28 p.m. EST: At least 51 people were killed in the storm, including seven children from Plaza Towers Elementary School in Moore, according to KFOR in Oklahoma City. The news station reported that 75 student and staff were inside the school when the storm struck. Officials said Monday night that the search of the rubble remaining of the school had turned to a recovery mission.
With warmer weather arriving in the Northland, we all start thinking about outdoor activities. Sprucing up the yard a bit, fishing, golfing, and so forth. Even though it has been warmer, this is the Northland, and weather can change on a dime, so you need a good weather app for your phone.
I've selected four weather apps for you, thanks to my friends at Cnet. All available at the app store. The cool thing is there is something here for everybody. I own two of the four myself. Here they are.

I've worked in an office environment for the past 20 years so woodworking is not my strength, lately I've developed an interest in creating furniture with a rustic or vintage look as well as building items with used old wood and hope to develop my skills as time goes by.

Review Details
Product Review (submitted on October 22, 2013):
I was looking for a facial sunscreen that would also be beneficial for combination skin. This was definitely not it. I found this product to be greasy and it left my face feeling oily. May work well for someone with dry/normal skin. I have since purchased the Daily Deflector Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ and love it.

Betsy and Tacy are best friends. Then Tib moves into the neighborhood and the three of them start to play together. The grown-ups think they will quarrel, but they don't. Sometimes they quarrel with Betsy's and Tacy's bossy big sisters, but they never quarrel among themselves.
They are not as good as they might be. They cook up awful messes in the kitchen, throw mud on each other and pretend to be beggars, and cut off each other's hair. But Betsy, Tacy, and Tib always manage to have a good time.
Ever since their first publication in the 1940s, the Betsy-Tacy stories have been loved by each generation of young readers.

Oil lobby biggest threat to U.S. ethanol: RFA leader
CHICAGO (Reuters) - The biggest threat to U.S. ethanol makers, now struggling with negative profit margins, is not high corn prices but possible changes to the renewable fuel policy by Washington legislators, the top ethanol industry executive said on Wednesday.
"This year is tough. Our biggest challenge though is more about Capitol Hill and threats to policy than the markets and threats to profitability," Bob Dinneen, chief executive of the Renewable Fuels Association, told Reuters on-line grain forum.
The 2007 U.S. energy policy's renewable fuels standard (RFS), mandates annual production of 15 billion gallons of ethanol by 2015 for energy independence. By 2022, RFS calls for 36 billion gallons of renewable fuels, including cellulosic biofuels.
U.S. ethanol production in 2011 was 13.9 billion gallons of which more than a billion gallons was exported.
Dinneen said he was pleased by Friday's approval by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to allow the sale of fuel containing 15 percent ethanol, up from the current 10 percent for vehicles 2001 and newer. But said the oil industry clearly sees ethanol as unwelcomed competition.
"I'm seeing a far more aggressive oil lobby going after the RFS in every forum possible," said Dinneen, citing a lawsuit against EPA over cellulosic numbers and the introduction of anti-RFS amendments to the Farm Bill.
"That speaks volumes as to the lengths oil is prepared to go to undermine this important policy. I do not believe they will be successful," Dinneen added.
Ethanol markers have been hurt this spring by tight grain supplies, which has pushed up the cost of corn, an ethanol feedstock. The soft economy has also weakened demand for gasoline, which is blended with ethanol. Profit margins are running anywhere from 25 to 35 cents per gallon in the red, trade sources say.
"This is most definitely a challenging market, and some plants that might not be as well positioned in the market as others may well look at closing for a bit until this bumper crop comes in. It's really no different than the oil industry that sees production capacity change with the market," he said.
In the past week two Nebraska plants, Nedak Ethanol in Atkinson and Valero Energy (VLO.N) in Albion, temporarily shut down. Both cited high corn prices and negative margins. In April, Archer Daniels Midland (ADM.N) permanently closed its Walhalla, North Dakota plant for similar reasons.
The announcements raised painful reminders of 2008 when the financial markets crash sent ethanol profits plummeting and many producers filed for bankruptcy including VeraSun Energy.
"In my mind, 2008 was a different year. Operating capital was more difficult to secure, if not impossible. Gasoline prices were relatively higher," Dinneen said. "But it was an equally challenging year, just different issues."
"I sure don't see a rash of permanent closures. There may be more consolidation coming to the industry," he added.
But Dinneen remains "bullish" on ethanol as demand for the product stays strong, including exports, which Dinneen said should at least match the record 1.1 billion gallons sold in 2011.
Dinneen also expects the sale of E15 to give the industry a boost, with Iowa, Illinois and Kansas to be among the first states to offer the blend.
A shortage of ethanol pumps at rural filling stations and a push back from retailers who fear lawsuits if car engines fail make adoption of E15 an uphill climb, ethanol makers say.
"The E15 market will grow slowly of course, limited by blendstock availability and the constraints EPA has placed on the product," Dinneen said. "Certainly by September when volatility regulations are removed, E15 should begin to grow more rapidly."

Rutan is an incredible inspiration. Thank god that people like him exist in this world.
"He also believes that he has solved the Kennedy assassination and that ancient Egyptians built pyramids and monuments by casting solid stone in moulds."
"when environmentalists say that global warming is dangerous, unprecedented and that we'll have a tipping point for atmospheric carbon dioxide, it's just nonsense."
Rutan is a design genius with endless manic energy.
Fixated on conspiracies and a touch of paranoia.
Strange personal appearance and unconventional clothing.
He has a BiPolar Mind and is a bit insane.
Similar to Steve Jobs, but still mentally ill.
Such an interesting article and inspiring. I hope today's engineering students are getting exposed to him and his peers either through lectures or mentoring programs. It's the best way he can ensure his legacy is a lasting one.
Email just sent to Letters to the Editor, The Economist
Dear Sir,
In your last Brain Scan article ("A maverick in flight", Technology
Quarterly, June 2012) I find entraining how Mr Rutan uses acrobatics to announce that global warming is about to lead environmentalists into an engineering breakthrough. He refers to unprecedented global warming and the tipping point for atmospheric carbon dioxide as "it's just nonsense". But this is not a pejorative term for him. The statement is followed by the clarification "You run into them [breakthroughs] when you've found something that doesn't make sense and you find a way to make it work". Maybe he is announcing the arrival of geoengineering. I approve.
Best Regards,
*Dr Guillermo Rein*
Senior Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering

If you read economic history you can see certain developments, you might call them second stage developments, which were not a total suprise at the time and their need was seen by all. But it took a long time to achieve them.
One of the most well known of these second stage developments was steam powered ships across the Atlantic. It actually took nearly a century before efficient, economical and non sail assisted steam power was commonplace.
Why am I saying this? "Everybody knows", except for the most stupid and reactionary, that efficient, economical and useful space travel has to come. Indeed for near orbit space travel it is a commercial necessity now for putting sattellites into space ie it is already big business.
But, lets face it, nobody knows how to do it economically. The current monster rockets are less viable than the steam engines of the 1840's.
I would like to make a suggestion, based on my knowledge of developments in aircraft technology.
Scramjets. They use atmospheric oxygen, and can get a heavy payload into a near earth orbit at a cheap price. 90% of the lift needed. The rest can be lifted by relatively small rockets.
Two problems. Re-entry and fuel.
Re-entry needs a high temperature protection for the aircraft's skin. We are getting there, but not near enough yet.
Fuel. The organic fuels used at the moment are not good enough - not enough what they call 'specific impulse'. Liquid hydrogen theoretically good but dificult to use. I suggest hydrazine, a compound of hydrogen and nitrogen. Much easier to use, and effort should be made manufacture it cheaply.
Scramjets can also be used for 40 minute journeys around the world. The need is there. Everyone knows this. The solution is there. The effort is somehow sadly lacking.
I am inspired.
America needs more free enterprise and less regulation in Space and on the ground also.
I wonder, why do people like him retire ?
Some day new advances in different aspects of materials science will all come together and flying will enter a new age.
Revolutionary change comes less often than we might think.
A hundred years have passed since the Wright brothers. Airplanes have only evolved since then.
Same with cars. With telephones too.
And television. And railways.
It's strange to realize. And also shows how rarely the true geniuses appear.
Or may be even the geniuses merely stand on the shoulders of ordinary geniuses -- many hundreds of them.

Are you saying that their numerous fascist (mafia) rackets both large and small are just figments of our imagination.
I suppose you will tell us that the federal reserve is not a private institution and that they serve the public interest first over their own?
I suppose you will tell us that we pay income taxes for public services ignoring the fact the it doesn't even service the national government debt (doesn't even pay the interest on the debt)?
I suppose you will tell us we can believe what we see on the corporate and government TV channels but not to believe anything we read on the Internet.
Conspiracy theorists are the grassroots of the liberty movement. Everyone else is a shill for government and corporate power.

Rookie Nerlens Noel has been cleared to return to basketball-related activities by knee specialist Dr. James Andrews, and the Philadelphia 76ers forward is four to six weeks away from game action, according to sources of ESPN's Jeff Goodman.
"He tested really well and his knee looks great," one source said. "Dr. Andrews suggested he be cleared to do on-court drills, but the team still has to clear him."
Noel, who suffered a torn ACL while playing for the Kentucky Wildcats in February, has not played this season. If the 6'11 forward is cleared, it means he could potentially be available for game action after the All-Star break.
Whether Philadelphia will allow the sixth overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft to return this season remains to be seen.
Pushing Noel to return would include the obvious risk of re-injury, and the Sixers are also eyeing a high lottery pick in the 2014 draft, which is dependent on their record. However, Philadelphia is currently only three games back of the No. 8 seed Charlotte Bobcats in the Eastern Conference playoff race, and how much a rusty Noel helps their chances to win is debatable considering he's been out since February.
Noel was widely regarded as the No. 1 overall pick through most of the 2012-13 college basketball season, but his stock slid after the knee injury. He was drafted by the New Orleans Hornets and traded to the Sixers on draft night in a package that required Philadelphia to trade All-Star point guard Jrue Holiday.

The 4th of July holiday is right around the coroner and law enforcement wants you to know how to enjoy it, legally. That means understanding which type of fireworks you can and can't set off at your home, and where it's allowed.
Vickey Robbs and her grandson came to Poor Paul's Fireworks in Spartanburg County on Sunday night to take a look around and plan their big purchase later in the week.
"We basically just try to blow up the neighborhood," said Robbs.
Robbs joked but admitted that a large fireworks display had been a part of her families tradition for years. She said when her family lived in North Carolina, she had to smuggle fireworks to her family's home, set them off and run.
Now they live in South Carolina where most fireworks are legal.
Along the North Carolina/South Carolina border Rodney's Rockets welcomed customers all Sunday long. They said they have clientele from all over the region but many from North Carolina.
"You hear that pretty often they say you can't do that where we're from," said Theresa Davis. She's worked by the border at Rodney's for nearly a decade and said she knows the firework laws like the back of her hand.
In South Carolina nearly all fireworks are fair game. You must be 16 years of age or older to buy fireworks and you must make sure your neighbors aren't bothered by them too.
Here are some restrictions highlighted in South Carolina state law.
SECTION 23-35-130. Manufacture, storage, transportation or possession of certain fireworks illegal; storage and assembly of public display material; penalty.
(A) It is unlawful to manufacture, store, transport, or possess fireworks containing pyrotechnic composition in excess of two grains, designed to produce a loud and piercing effect, including, but not limited to, fireworks commonly called "ground salutes" or "cherry bombs", M-80's, T-N-T salutes, and "bulldog salutes". A manufacturer shall obtain a permit to store or assemble materials for public fireworks displays. No manufacturer may store public display material in the same building where legal fireworks are offered for sale to retailers.
(B) The provisions of this chapter do not prohibit continuous interstate commerce through this State into another state of any item of fireworks permitted for shipment by the regulations of the Interstate Commerce Commission or the United States Department of Transportation, or their successors. It is unlawful to ship into or through this State or possess, sell, or use, under any circumstances, any article of fireworks that is forbidden for transportation by regulations of the Interstate Commerce Commission, the United States Department of Transportation, or their successors.
(C) A person who violates the provisions of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, must be fined not more than ten thousand dollars or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.
You can continue reading at the SC Statehouse website.
In North Carolina there is a zero tolerance law prohibiting everything except display and consumer fireworks.
North Carolina General Statue 14‑414.
14‑414. Pyrotechnics defined; exceptions.
For the proper construction of the provisions of this Article, "pyrotechnics," as is herein used, shall be deemed to be and include any and all kinds of fireworks and explosives, which are used for exhibitions or amusement purposes: provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall prevent the manufacture, purchase, sale, transportation, and use of explosives or signaling flares used in the course of ordinary business or industry, or shells or cartridges used as ammunition in firearms. This Article shall not apply to the sale, use, or possession of the following:
(1) Explosive caps designed to be fired in toy pistols, provided that the explosive mixture of the explosive caps shall not exceed twenty‑five hundredths (.25) of a gram for each cap.
(2) Snake and glow worms composed of pressed pellets of a pyrotechnic mixture that produce a large, snake‑like ash when burning.
(3) Smoke devices consisting of a tube or sphere containing a pyrotechnic mixture that produces white or colored smoke.
(4) Trick noisemakers which produce a small report designed to surprise the user and which include:
a. A party popper, which is a small plastic or paper item containing not in excess of 16 milligrams of explosive mixture. A string protruding from the device is pulled to ignite the device, expelling paper streamers and producing a small report.
b. A string popper, which is a small tube containing not in excess of 16 milligrams of explosive mixture with string protruding from both ends. The strings are pulled to ignite the friction‑sensitive mixture, producing a small report.
c. A snapper or drop pop, which is a small, paper‑wrapped item containing no more than 16 milligrams of explosive mixture coated on small bits of sand. When dropped, the device produces a small report.

Caleb Edwards runs a TNT fireworks stand in Hendersonville at the Walmart. He is raising money for a mission trip and said just because they may not have a selection like those in South Carolina, you're quality won't suffer.
