And no, I don't mean that's the costume I wear. I mean it's the attitude I cop.
I was a normal candy-obsessed child, for whom Halloween meant an orgy of party-size Snickers bars and little boxes of Milk Duds. (I threw away the candy corn. Blech.) I liked Halloween well enough.
And I went to an art-focused high school where we all got up in elaborate costumes each year. Happily, this was long before the sexy-everything costumes. The sexiest costume I ever wore was Judy Garland in the "Get Happy" number from Summer Stock. (And for some reason everyone thought I was Liza Minnelli, which annoyed me. Anyway, that's the kind of geek I was.)

So much has been written about this film elsewhere that it feels a little pointless going into much depth here. Suffice it to say, it's still a genuine comedy classic.
However, it has become fashionable of late to dismiss Mel Brooks' contribution to comedy. This is partly his own fault for churning out some genuine stinkers, including but by no means limited to, Silent Movie, Dracula: Dead and Loving It and Life Stinks. Some might even put Spaceballs in that list, but if like me you were young in the Eighties you probably wouldn't. Anyway, despite all the dross he's still managed to put out some real gold. Blazing Saddles probably best encapsulates his career as a whole, in that it's uneven, with some painfully embarrassing and unfunny moments scattered between the brilliant bits. And whilst often praised for its open condemnation of racism it still manages to pander to 1970s racial stereotypes for cheap laughs; the Sheriff smokes pot, calls everyone brother, and the German cabaret singer discovers for herself that it really is true what they say about black men.
On the DVD is the pilot episode of a proposed spin-off TV show called Black Bart. What were they thinking? Whereas Mel Brooks was able to deftly handle the racism in a comedic and non-offensive way (mostly), this is just terrible. It's like a bad dream. Did they really think they had a chance of getting this on weekly TV? I'm assuming it was never aired. Worth seeing though. There are also some scenes which were shot specifically for the TV version of the movie. I think for that one they also dubbed out the soundtrack on the infamous farting scene. Kills the comedy stone dead, as you can imagine.
If Mel Brooks had only made The Producers he would still be hailed as a genius. The fact that that movie was his debut, rather than the culmination of years of hard work in the genre is really remarkable. So I feel he can be forgiven for his occasional lapse in comic judgement, and his recent barrel-scraping as he determines to one by one set all of his great works to music. The world is a better place because of Mel Brooks. He gave us the first person to break wind on the silver screen, and for that we should all be thankful.
If you like, please follow me on Twitter @retroramblings. I'll post blog updates, general musings and the occasional moan about my life. If that doesn't sell it to you nothing will.

Japanese slot machines known as pachislos all flashing lights and tinny, obnoxious noise rest on just about every horizontal surface of the 500-square-foot space, including the sink and the stove. In his living room, where the walls are painted black to match the carpet, there are nearly a dozen machines, and the only furnishings are a few scoop-backed stools.
In the bedroom is a bed (surprise!) and a lot more slot machines.
Your first assurance that this is not a gambling den is Mr. Cramer himself, a soft-spoken man who tells his guest, fidgeting, I dont really even like having people in here.
The other assurance is that these arent technically gambling machines. Mr. Cramer is one of the countrys foremost collectors of pachislos, cheap, slightly tacky slot machines that have amassed a cultlike following in the United States over the last 10 years. He began collecting them about four years ago after he saw one in a mall on Staten Island. Today, he lives mostly at his girlfriends apartment so he can use his own to house his collection.
Pachislos (pronounced PATCH-ee-slows) look much like any slot machine you would find in a Las Vegas casino. But they differ from American slots in small but significant ways.
For one, they operate only on tokens, not currency. For another, they supposedly involve some skill: below each spinning wheel is a button that stops it manually, meaning pachislo players earn their jackpots hitting the button at the right moment. One does not have to be a skeptic on par with, say, Aristotle, to doubt that this element of skill is anything more than illusory, but it is enough to exempt the machines from most states laws barring home ownership of gambling equipment.
Also, they are not just slot machines. Many of them, particularly the newer models, have LCD screens on which elaborate video-game-style narratives play out. And they have some oddball traits that appeal to kitsch-happy collectors: colorful anime-style graphics, ear-splitting sound effects and unfortunate Japanese approximations of American themes like Rambo and Harley-Davidson. An Obama Inauguration pachislo comes decorated with an image of the president, arms folded, in front of the presidential seal and an American flag.
Pachislos are considerably cheaper than American slots: basic machines cost about $250, whereas a decommissioned Las Vegas slot machine can cost from $800 to $2,000.
In Japan, compulsive pachislo players are known to sit glassy eyed for hours in seedy pachinko parlors (named for the vertical pinball game that spawned pachislo). Although gambling is illegal in Japan, players can trade their tokens for prizes empty plastic boxes or cigarette lighters that they then take to redeeming centers across the street and trade for cash.
These machines are very mesmerizing, theyre very soothing, said David Plotz, the editor of Slate, who wrote about pachinko parlors for the Japan Society after spending time in Japan in 2001. They are a form of escape in a country where there is very little of that.
In the United States, however, the obsession seems to be more about collecting than playing. Collectors speak of sacrificing whole floors of their homes to accommodate their ever-growing collections. They gather on sites like Pachitalk.com and PachisloDB.com to share reviews of the newest machines or trade tips on where to find rare ones. And YouTube is filled with hundreds of hours of pachislo enthusiasts showing off their chirping, flashing collections.
Brian Evans is a retired Navy technician who discovered pachislos when he was stationed in Japan in the early 1990s. He has more than 35 pachislo machines in his home in Atlantic Beach, Fla., plus close to 20 pachinko machines.
My neighbors thought I was crazy when they started seeing FedEx or UPS delivery boxes once or twice or three times a month, he said. But they came over and are like, Hey, these are pretty neat.
For many American collectors, pachislos are the first experience with slot machines of any kind.
I actually dont like to gamble, because I dont like to lose money, said Rita Schack of Pearland, Tex., who made about $10,000 importing and selling pachislo machines last year on her site, BlueHotaru.com. But once I found out the technology that goes into them and the great music they play and the flashing lights and the LCD videos they play, I just fell in love with them.
She added: The only problem now is fitting them in the house.
But mention pachislos to a slot machine purist like Bob Levy, an antique slot machine dealer in Pennsauken, N.J., and prepare yourself for a good talking-to.

Painful LovePainful Love by MadOldHag
Dear friend, how much I love you; still
not velvet-like they feel, your paws
while in my hair your raking claws
rip out whole strands with cruel skill.
You're purring, much to my delight
while dangling right before my face
your hairy tail despite its grace
now makes me sneeze and blocks my sight.
My little kitty, cute and sweet,
my head is aching from your weight.
Why should you bother what I've said,
knowing you'll always get your treat?
A Good Night's Sleep A Good Night's SleepA Good Night's Sleep by casperofpuppets
Jack finally laid the pencil down. An entire night's worth of sketching, and nothing to show for it. Dozens of lines and characters lay sprawled across the sheet of paper, dancing either impassively or violently. They all trailed off into different sheets, most of which were piled into the bin. The metal bin was full, balls of sheets bouncing off the top of its pile, and the floor littered with the rest of the trashed sketches. The desk careened to one side, near to subside. It was a wonder that it had not collapsed yet, and even though it seemed clear a new desk should be bought, Jack refused. Procrastination was his best friend, something which he depended entirely. That showed when it came to his art. As of late, very few finished pieces could be seen in his portfolio. Otherwise, works-in-progress lied about the room in constant slumber.
Out from the Gray EveningWhile morning pushed me drearily into noon, I passed the smallest window of my house several times before finally stopping to observe what lied beyond it. I had done this from time to time for weeks, perhaps too often: standing before the smallest window, staring into the same spot though the slouching tree-limbs; the very spot that caught my eye each time, the spot that had no concrete form or obvious potency. There was no reason why I would have to gaze into it, whatever it had been. I knew no other feeling it gave me but curiousness, be that good or bad. And with each day passing, my curiosity grew. It had begun to form an itch that eventually sprouted a tumor. I ached.Out from the Gray Evening by interlude-four
Yet I couldn't know what I ached for. Was it to know what it was that stared back at me? Or to know what intentions that would ensue these encounters?
Still I waited. Perhaps I could have been building up to something, an apex of my dull life, something to give the least form of livelihood for which I long yearned. D

A collection of relevant and timely media clips and resources.
Posted on May 7, 2013
Yesterday, the Colorado Senate Committee on Business, Labor, & Technology voted 3-2 to postpone indefinitely, House Bill 1306.
As originally proposed by state Representative Beth McCann (D-8), HB 1306 would have nullified the right to due process for gun owners throughout Colorado. After overwhelming opposition, Representative McCann pulled the original version from advancing further.
HB 1306 was reworked to establish a task force to review mental health issues as it relates to the possession of firearms. While the NRA supports legitimate and reasonable discussion on firearms safety and fixing our broken mental health system, a task force that is contrived for biased and misleading conversation and recommendations is not the answer.
There were several major concerns with HB 1306 including:
Thank you to all NRA members and Second Amendment supporters who acted in opposition to this unsound legislation. The defeat of HB 1306 would not have been possible without your efforts.
Colorado has seen the enactment of the most draconian anti-gun legislation in Colorado's history during this legislative session. With the Regular Session of the Sixty-ninth General Assembly scheduled to adjourn sine die tomorrow, May 8, we are pleased to announce the final attack on your rights for the 2013 session failed.

The Kingdom was among the first countries in Asia to introduce incentive policies for the generation of electricity from renewable energy sources. This has led to rapid growth - particularly in solar.
Renewable Energy Asia provides our company with many outstanding opportunities. We particularly value the opportunity to meet new clients and promote our brand and products on a first-hand basis.
The reason RENESOLAR decided to exhibit here is quite simple – this event is the biggest Renewable Energy Exhibition in the ASEAN region, so opportunities are also just as large! Another plus is the professionalism of the organiser which also works for our benefit.
This year, we see strong demand for Renewable Energy in the whole ASEAN area – much more so than in the previous two years. At the 2014 show customers can inspect CSUN's latest technology and high efficiency solar PV products. In fact the whole show presents an excellent opportunity to meet new clients from the ASEAN region. We believe REA is now one of the most important and influential environmental events in the ASEAN area.
This year we are proud to present our latest high efficiency solar modules: the CSUN 280W QSAR Module (60PCS 6' Modules) and the CSUN 260W poly modules (60PCS 6' MODULE).
SMA delivers advanced technology and services in Thailand. In 2013, the government launched the solar PV rooftop program with very attractive Feed-in Tariffs (FIT) for investors and house owners. This promoted the installation of solar systems in Thailand. However, currently the uncertain political situation poses a challenge to the industry. "Nevertheless, we are convinced that renewable energies will develop further in our country", said Dr. Pariya Cumperayot, Managing Director of SMA Solar (Thailand) Co.,Ltd.
Wuxisun is proud to announce that this will be our fourth year exhibiting at Renewable Energy in Bangkok. The reason for this is because we believe the show is perfectly suited for our prospects in South East Asia. We intend to continue to join the exhibition well into the future because it provides our customers, suppliers and associates with a convenient and professional meeting point and enables business to get updated on the state of the industry and open new doors for business.
Asia Green Energy has been exhibiting at Renewable Energy Asia for three years now and the benefits to our company have been many. We have been able to increase our distribution channels and in so doing have found many new clients and business prospects.
At this year's show coal will be our highlighted product.We are the one of Thailand's leading producers and marketers of coal that helps meet the industrial and worldwide demand for this key energy source.
Organic Asia has been proud to be part of Entech Pollutec Asia for four years now. The event has many benefits for our company mainly in the waste-to-energy sector and renewable energy from biogas systems. At this year's show we are planning to launch Gasification/Pyrolysis –Waste to Energy. This project uses clean pyrolysis technology throughout Thailand. Organics is proud to offer a complete service from initial biomass to energy project assessment. We do this through due diligence. We also support and finance options with technical design specifications. Ultimately we project EPC supply, installation, commissioning and ongoing O&M into the future.
R.C. Trading has been with Entech Pollutec Asia since 2005 – nine years in all. The reason for our continuing to exhibit at this great show is that it allows us to introduce our latest technology directly to the industry. Our customers come to us.
This year for example, we will be introducing that latest technology filters for air filtration and dust collection.
We have been distributing such equipment in Thailand since 1999 but right now we are involved with a variety of new projects and solutions that will benefit our customers considerably – far more so than the old filter bag replacement system.
Thailand's support policies for renewable energy have allowed small projects to flourish, attracting more
investment and leading to faster growth in the sector. Thai energy focuses on identifying factors that can
create new policies and highlight lessons for future development.

Thailand has instituted a 20 - Year Energy Efficiency Development Plan (2011-2030) the target of which is to reduce energy usage by 25 % by 2030. Compared with 2005, this will be the equivalent of a 20 % reduction in energy consumption. Energy Efficiency (EE) plays an important role in strengthening energy security, lowering production cost, reducing trade deficit and increasing competitiveness.

An Apology Letter on Valentine's Day
Ladies – I know a lot of you can relate to what I've been going through lately. A lack of energy, irritability and a never-ending to-do list can really cause us moms to be too tired after our kids bedtimes, that we basically fall asleep as soon as our heads hit the pillow. Even worse, we can become distant with our significant others, which takes a large toll on our already strained relationships. That being said, instead of giving my husband a traditional Valentine's Day card this year, I gave him an apology letter right before bed, with sincere, raw wording that no Hallmark card could ever provide.
I know sometimes I can be irritating and come across as frustrated and distant, but I want you to know that tonight, as I lay beside you, that it is me, Melissa. Tonight, I'm no one else, but the person you married. I am the happy, excited, somewhat quirky woman who married you five years ago.

OC needs first weekend
OC needs first weekend
Well lookie here:
For years, rumors have floated around Old City that a high-end food market might be coming to our neighborhood. So many developers have made this promise that it became a running joke in the community. Well, it seems that rumor may finally be moving toward reality. Trust Market is being planned to open the beautiful Trust building on the N.E. corner of 3rd and Arch Sts.

Guys like you I would dispatch with my roofing axe. -- BootsywannabeACretin
F.U.E.L. was never a real gallery in the traditional sense.
IIRC, It was "run" by a daughter of OC's own infamous one-man Israeli king-of-something-or-other. She was young and it was something to do till the time was right for daddy to develop the property properly. It was mostly rented out for events/art shows/charities/ for the young want-to-be-luxurious crowd.
I had a friend who volunteered for there when it was the old Seamen's center, so every now and then I'd go in and play pool with her in there. Truly crazy how the girl rehabbed the inside (the outside is pretty much indestructible) to the heights of opulence for a building with no real purpose (daddy's money you know). Daddy was just sittin on it till something would come along- I always thought it would make a great apple store. (and it would have except OC is not a foot-traffic through-way so that was never going to happen).
SooooooooooooooooPER ........................ SL O WD O WN
hmmmmm... interesting. You seem to be bashing an Old City business, while trolling anyone who makes similar assertions about other old city businesses.
BTW- as usual, you're wrong. It was the son of 'so and so' who controls, owns, and manages the building, along with the exhibits and events. The coordinator of the exhibits was a guy.
Last edited by lucidinnature; 02-13-2013 at 10:39 PM.
It might not have been a son or daughter, but someone else on the family ladder. I remember the article in one of the city papers profiling a girl running the show when it first opened. Maybe someone else was managing the business end- I can't remember. Either way, same point.
You obviously don't understand the meaning of "bash", because nowhere did I bash the business - saying it was not a real art gallery was not bashing, just correcting a misperception that it was an art gallery). In fact i gave them praise for what they did with the inside.
YOU, pointing a finger at someone trolling ? HAHAHA........

Marguerite McDonald is a native to the Philadelphia area and holds a degree in Public and Private Sector Organization from Brown University. While at Brown Marguerite was awarded the Panda Cup in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the Women's Ice Hockey team, and the Chelsea MacMillan award for pride and perseverance. This active, champion's spirit is evident throughout Marguerite's life, from her various athletic achievements to her work as Public Relations Freelancer for the "Ready, Set, Vote" project in her native Philadelphia. It is this enthusiasm and hands-on mentality that exemplifies Marguerite's approach and guiding ethos as co-founder of The F.U.E.L. Collection.
Jennifer Yaron
With experience as both an artist and educator, as well as a lifelong passion for art and culture, FUEL seems a natural outgrowth from the trajectory of Jennifer Yaron's life. A native to Philadelphia, Yaron has a history of appreciation for and participation in the city's long-standing and vibrant arts community. Her personal investment in the city's culture and sophistication combined with her own experiences as a creator of art contribute to a unique perspective and outlook as co-founder of FUEL. Dynamic, effervescent, and original: these are qualities that have been central to Jennifer Yaron's passion in life and art, and qualities that remain evident in her work with The F.U.E.L. Collection.

I'm sure you also think Rendell is still mayor of the city since that's the last time you were relevant at anything, but to pull up an outdated website and padded resume from 2007 doesn't quite tell the story.
Jason Yaron owns, owned, manages and managed all aspects of the place with a fine tooth comb. He also put a guy named Christopher in charge of the art shows.
I don't think Daddy will be deveolping much of anything as he's in jail now.
I'm not sure about official positions but when it first opened Jennifer and Marguerite (who were childhood friends) definitely seemed to be running the day to day operations. I'm a friend of a friend who occasionally hung out there, the way it was always explained to me was that Jen's family owned it, and the girls ran it...not that any of this really matters.

Wow you translated Light Orchestra! I'm so excited to read it. Thank you so so much! <3ReplyDelete
Is there any chance ou could make a downloadable Could you make a PDF version of the baccano volume?ReplyDelete
@ Miss BritReplyDelete
I've never actually made a pdf of anything before, so that might be a bit tough. I'm still going back to make edits as well, so I'm not very inclined to work on a downloadable copy yet.
Of course, anyone who knows how to do it can feel free to make a pdf of my translation, provided they give credit.

Oh man, thank you so much for translating Light Orchestra! So exited to read it!ReplyDelete
Do you think maybe in the future you might work on Grand Punk Railroad? Both novels have just been sitting around over a year, barely started.
@ AnonReplyDelete
Right now, I'm planning to focus on stories that haven't been covered in the anime. Grand Punk Railroad isn't much different from the anime in terms of content, so I'm sorry to say that I don't think I'll be working on it until volumes 12~16 are translated.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR TRANSLATING BACCANO !ReplyDelete

I often print fully translated novels, so I edited your work, added pictures and created a PDF.
I thought, that maybe there is someone, who would like to read it in that version, so here's a download link:
Hope you don't mind!
@ nicole-coverReplyDelete
YOU WIN THE INTERNETS. Thank you so much! Would you mind if I put up the link on the blog proper so everyone can see?
@ Untuned StringsReplyDelete
Of course I wouldn't ;)
I'm glad, that I could help.
I can't wait for your next updates, keep up the good work!
I hope you'll finish next novel soon (and who knows maybe even I'll create a PDF for you again...)

About Kino no Tabi:ReplyDelete
you should update wiki
- Anonymous8 November 2011 at 17:56
thank u so much for you'r hard work on V.12 of Baccano !! please keep up your passionate work on v.13 ^^ReplyDelete
can i ask you something ?? u didn't translate the previous novels m is it becouse it have been already done by someone else ?? I know that Baka-tsuki is working on them .. but is there anyone else ? thank u so much
Anonspore (of Sporeblog) is working on volume 7, and he's already finished translating volume 5 and 6. I skipped everything before 1705 because it's either been fully translated, animated, or being worked on by an active translator.

Hey, thanks for your hard work, it's really hard find light novels translate, specially from Baccano!.ReplyDelete
Little question, are you going to translate A Man In the Killer? And even when baka-tsuki begin to translate Peter Pan in chains and Alice in jail, they haven't make any update in a while.
Sorry for my bad english.
@ Anon:ReplyDelete
Man in the Killer hasn't been announced for Korean release yet, so I'm not sure--I might give it a try, but I think I'll prioritize the 1700s and 2000s for now.
As for 1934, I'm actually kind of avoiding it because it heavily features Graham, Christopher, Ladd, and the Poet--four characters whose dialogues give me a headache. But I think Anonspore or the people at Baka-Tsuki will get around to finishing it before I even start.

Yeah,those four are hard even to read, more so translate, for the amount of words that they use even just to introduce somebody, particulary the poet.

1705 and 2002 are translated! This pleases me. Thanks for spending your time and energy on this!ReplyDelete
I'm eternally grateful for your translations (and your bias for pro-Elmer novels!). Have you read all Baccano novels? Does Elmer ever interact with Tick (or anyone in the Gandor family)?ReplyDelete
I've read all the novels up to volume 15, but Elmer hasn't interacted with the Gandors yet. But he just might meet some of them in volume 16! I haven't read it yet, though, so I don't have much details.

One of my favorite things of all time is Baccano. The fact that you're going out of your way to translate the novels that I thought frankly no one would bother to touch, makes you a super awesome person. Just thought I'd tell you that.ReplyDelete

@Untuned StringsReplyDelete
Hello. I want to thank you ahead for all the work that you have done, and I was curious about something.
I was wondering if it would be okay if Baka-tsuki links to you so that more people could read your work. If you Don't want them to display anything and just link other people directly here, that would be okay.
If you would allow them to place your translation on their site, they would link towards you (give you the credit).
If you don't want any affiliations with Baka-tsuki just say so.
Whatever you want is up to you. On a personal note. Could you work on Volume 2 whenever you have free time? I can't do anything to repay your favor, but we would be happy.
Again thank you for all your hard work
I'd prefer just being linked directly to my blog on Baka-tsuki. :)
I'm thinking of working on volume 2 in the future, but I can't guarantee it will be soon. But if 1711 doesn't come out in Korean before it, 1931 will probably be the next Baccano project I tackle.

Thank you for your Concern. You do not need to consider anything. It's your choice. We really are just leechers. I will Let Baka-Tsuki know to they can add the link here, but not load your translation on their site.
Again thank you for your time.
Thanks again for the traslation! <3ReplyDelete
Would you mind translating some Slash chapters too ? ^^
thanks for all of your hard work. Baccano is an amazing series and thanks to you I can now read it on my Nook. Thanks again for everythingReplyDelete

You're pretty much the coolest person ever for translating Gakuen Kino. Thank you so much and I can't wait for May! :DReplyDelete
Thanks so much for these translations! I love light novels and I love Baccano and Kino. I haven't read any of the Baccano volumes yet because I'm a bit confused about which overlap with the anime (which I've seen four times), by how much and the best order to read in. Would someone mind clarifying? I have pdfs for 1930, 1932, 2001, 1933, 1934, 1705, 2002 A, B and 1710. I think this was the release order?ReplyDelete
Also, is there any chance of you taking a look at Zaregoto for possible translation when you are done with your current plans? It's amazing but it doesn't have an anime so I can't see it attracting any attention otherwise.
The anime covers volumes 1~4 (1930, 1931, and 1932), but the events of 1932 were heavily altered. I suggest reading it even if you skip the earlier volumes. The three extra episodes of the anime also cover a bulk of volume 14 (Another Junk Railroad) as well.
In terms of reading order, you should probably go by release dates: 1930-1931-1932-2001-1933-1934-1705-2002-1931(Another Junk Railroad)-1710. Of these, only 1931(which I'm working on now), 1934(In progress at Baka-Tsuki) and Another Junk Railroad are not completely translated at this point, but it doesn't really spoil anything to skip them for now.
And right now I can't take on any more projects as I have my hands full. Sorry about that!
- Anonymous7 March 2012 at 08:06
1000x Thanks!ReplyDelete
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.ReplyDelete
I started reading volume 1 but I think I'll wait for you to finish v3 so I can go through them together.
Just about to finish v5 (2001) and it's been awesome. I was content with the anime as-is but now I'm hoping for separate OVAs or movies...
I guess I should go from 1933 to 1705 and skip all of 1934 for now? I imagine all 3 volumes of 1934 should be read together. And what about ????: The illusional first and last episode?
Also, of course I wasn't suggesting you try to translate Zaregoto any time soon. I'm sure you are very busy as it is and will be for a while if you're planning on translating any baccano and kino stuff you can.
If you haven't read it before I highly recommend it! Two were officially released in English before Del Rey stopped releasing light novels. The first is great but the second takes it to another level and they are supposed to get even crazier.
You can find the raws here: http://vnsharing.net/forum/showpost.php?p=2802443&postcount=32
If you enjoy them as much as I think you will hopefully you'll keep them in mind in a year or two.

Hello. First I'd like to thank you for your incredible work translating Baccano. You are awesome =). And secondly I have a question. There is supposed to be a mini novel entitled "Baccano! 1931? Great Punk Railroad Revisited" from the drama cd or something along thouse lines... Do you know what's in it? Is Another Junk Railroad an expansion of it (thus rendering it not worth noting)? And If it's not a bother could you share some knowlege about mini novels? I know that there are 2 more: "man in the killer" (I suppose vol 16 is a collected and expanded version of it) and "time of the oasis" that came with anime dvds. And something called "illusional first and last episode" (I think it tells Ronnie's story... but I may be wrong). Do you know anything about them? Thanks in advance.ReplyDeleteReplies
From what I know, Another Junk Railroad is indeed an expansion of Grand Punk Railroad Revisited. The same goes for Man in the Killer, which got an expansion in the 16th novel.Delete
As for Time of the Oasis, I think it covers the events that took place with Jacuzzi's gang during the Flying Pussyfoot incident, but from the POV of the cargo retrieval squad. There's something about the Runoratas and Claire's old friend Cookie in that story too, but I'm not too sure about it.
Finally, I have absolutely no idea what "Illusional First and Last Episode" is. All I know is that it's listed on Baka-Tsuki.
As for the Ronnie backstory, I think it's from a short story called Baccano! 300 B.C., but I wouldn't know where to go about finding it.
Hope this helps!
- Anonymous10 May 2012 at 13:31
Thank you for this explanaition.Delete
I found scans of Another junk railroad here:
And seeing as they contain illustrations from Revisited I belive that you are right. The only sad thing is that illustrations that were previously color spreads are now black and white and the picture with Clair and Graham facing off seems to be missing entirely.
And I found what seems to be a chinese transcript of 300 b.c. story:
Sadly I don't know chinese but I belive the person who translates Alice in jails at Baka-Tsuki does so from chinese... so maybe one day we'll see it translated to english =).
Anyway thank you again and keep up your amazing work!

Hello there!ReplyDelete
Yesterday I got to see the secret episode from the ds game myself and decided to make a little pdf of your translation.
Bassically I just added sprites from the game so that you could see character's expressions while reading. I also made some slight editing of your original script (some small changes that I thought were appropriate)... hope you don't mind it...
And after seeing the amount of narration that was in this episode I really hope that some day someone would translate it too...
Cheers! Gray.

For a while Restaurant: Impossible was running about 50-50 a year after
the intervention. That's not bad given that all of them would have had
to close within six months or sooner without the intervention. I take
it the restaurants that Ramsey intervenes are also ones that would all
have failed without his intervention.
It's entertainment so in some sense none need to survive for years after
their episode but the fact that some really do turn around is nice.

The HEIL PR 20 microphone is a new breed of dynamic microphone with many benefits over other microphones in its price range. The PR 20 will do a superior job at exactly capturing the sound from vocals, guitar, snare drums, cymbals, piano and more. Sound professionals, broadcasters, and musicians of all genres rely on the PR 20 microphone because it faithfully upholds the sound it takes in, and is built to last.
The PR 20 has a large diaphragm providing a wide frequency range, with excellent upper mids. The PR 20 does a great job of rejecting side & rear noise (minimizing feedback), and it is tough enough to withstand real-world usage. These attributes make the entire PR & RC series not only great rock music microphones, but they are also great for country, metal, jazz, funk, blues, rap, and opera, for that matter. All Heil microphones are hand assembled and quality tested in the USA at Heil's headquarters in Fairview Heights, IL.
With the PR 20, you get three interchangeable acoustically identical mesh screens (Silver, Black and Gold), along with additional black acoustical foam wind screen, padded carrying case, and a mic stand clip.
Heil Sound, Ltd. warrants all microphones to the original purchaser for a period of three years (parts) and ninety days (labor) from the date of purchase.

Reds manager Dusty Baker remains hospitalized
BY GORDON WITTENMYER Twitter: @GDubCub September 20, 2012 12:54PM
Cincinnati Reds manager Dusty Baker remains hospitalized on Thursday. | David Kohl~AP
Cincinnati Reds manager Dusty Baker remained in a local hospital Thursday undergoing more tests related to an irregular heartbeat, but he expects to be released to fly to Cincinnati on Friday, said acting manager Chris Speier.
Speier said he talked to Baker Wednesday night and got an update from one of the manager's friends Thursday morning.
``Everything sounded good,'' Speier said.
Baker, 63, left Wrigley Field before batting practice Wednesday for chest x-rays in an effort to rule out pneumonia after he was examined by the Cubs' team doctor.
The former Cubs manager has a history of irregular heartbeat, team officials said Wednesday night.
Baker is expected to rejoin the team Friday for the Reds' series opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Whether he resumes managing on Friday likely will be a matter of doctor's orders, Speier said, adding ``knowing Dusty, he will.''
``All our prayers go out, and hopefully everything's good for Dusty,'' Cubs manager Dale Sveum said, ``because he's a great guy. And the rest of the year will be very important for him to be around to help his club.''
The Reds have an 11-game lead in the National League Central and hope to clinch their second division title in three years during their upcoming home series.

- Add contents of set-aside bowl (with the meat) to pan and stir for about 3 minutes until turkey is fully incorporated and heated through
- Remove from heat and add Thai basil, stirring until basil wilts
A little note about the more unusual ingredients here. Bok choy is now fairly common in regular grocery store in both large and small sizes. It essentially looks like the lovechild of spinach and celery and each part cooks similarly to its more common counterpart. Feel free to substitute as you feel fit. Fish sauce is a common Thai ingredient that is essentially a thick fish stock that is used as a flavoring. Coconut aminos is a gluten-free and soy-free alternative to soy sauce (did you know the number one ingredient in soy sauce is wheat?). Finally, white pepper is a flavorful peppercorn we often use in Thai dishes, but black pepper would work as well.
Our recipes are created using Paleo, Primal and Gluten-free guidelines. Learn more about our diet and lifestyle at www.primalpalate.com.

Kelsey and Nathan- Pontotoc, MS WeddingJune 3rd, 2013
Here's a little winter wedding to cool you down since it's been a little warm and humid lately. Kelsey and Nathan married in November at the church where Nathan is the youth minister. It was heart warming to see how the reception site came together with a help from a few friends (meaning, the entire church). I think every family must have loaned their dining room chairs to the church reception, while every good cook shared their special cake recipe!
Amy and Will – Columbus, MS WeddingJune 3rd, 2013
Amy and Will married at one of our favorite churches- Columbus FUM. The ceremony was followed by a reception out at the family's land- laden with ancient oak trees, green meadows, and an old barn. Farm tables and furnishings from Busylad in Tupelo, MS and floral design by Tracy Proctor adorned this rustic, chic wedding reception. It did rain- actually, it poured- but just for a while. It cleared and the party never stopped. Congratulations, Amy and Will!
Carley + Caleb Tupelo, MS WeddingJune 2nd, 2013
Carlie and Caleb had the privilege of tying the knot a couple of times! They actually eloped, and then a few weeks later had a very intimate, private ceremony and reception at The Elvis Presley Chapel. The announcements that we pre-photographed went out the very day of the wedding ceremony. Caleb's job transfer has since transplanted them to New Orleans where Carlie created and writes for a blog called New in NOLA. Tupelo misses Carlie and Caleb, but we wish them the best!

Lyndsey and Eames- Vicksburg Wedding PhotographerMarch 2nd, 2013
You may have seen this BEAUTY from our ad this year in Mississippi Magazine. Thank you, Lyndsey Freeny for letting me get a little creative during your bridal session! There is so much I loved about this wedding-first and foremost I gained lifelong friends in this family and it was my first bridal brunch that I was invited to participate sins a camera. I also loved the historic Vicksburg, MS location, the awesome bride and groom, the very fun wedding party, and I could go on and on but I think I'll let the images speak the rest for me.

Four Denver police officers were treated for minor injuries after a drive-by shooting suspect's car was rammed by police cruisers.
Police say a man suspected of firing shots into a group of people and hitting a man in the leg fled from police late Wednesday. During the chase, police in two cruisers rammed the suspect's vehicle to stop it.
The suspect had not been found as of Thursday morning. Names of the injured police officers were not released.

NOSM member Erin E. Reynolds, a financial consultant and money management expert would like to see more information on handling finances for single mothers. She recommends getting life insurance and preparing a will to protect your children. With her help, we will address money issues on a regular basis in SM.
One of the best reasons to get life insurance is for the peace of mind it will bring you when you realize you are preparing for your children's future. A will is important to protect their assets, particularly from a birth father who may show up at the opportune moment. Even better is a living trust. Here's why:
- Living trusts avoid probate, where a conventional will requires it. The probate process lasts up to two years and can cost up to 8% of your estate (your estate can be your life insurance or any other assets.)
- Living trusts are private, where a will or a trust under a will is public record.
- A living trust is rarely contested. Because it's difficult to challenge, disappointed relatives such as your child's father, will unlikely be able to get his hands on the money.
- Living trusts cost more than wills, but are worth it in the long run. Costs in creating this kind of trust are tax-deductible, plus, there are no annual court accountings and the legal fees that go with them.
- A living trust allows the trustee to collect life insurance immediately without court delays.
- A living trust gives you control and is created, activated and managed while you are alive and well. Moreover, it is portable meaning you don't have to revise it as you would other types of trusts if you move to a different state.

Celtics shoot by Heat
The Celtics were hot all game long, and their 61 percent shooting from the field led them to a 115-107 win over the Heat in Miami Sunday afternoon, 9 days after beating them at home.
Boston shot a whopping 64 percent from the three-point line and 80 percent from the foul line to complement that excellent field goal percentage, and outrebounded and outassisted the Heat in route to their victory.
Out of the 23 assists the Celtics had, point guard Rajon Rondo ended up with 15, along with 18 points and 4 rebounds.
Stars Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce had 24 and 27 points respectively, both shooting at least 50 percent from the field for the game.
Star forward LeBron James had 36 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists for the Heat, who fell behind by as much as 18 in the first half, never regaining the early lead they had in the first quarter.
Shooting guard Dwyane Wade finished with 20 points and 5 assists, and did not seem too worried about the loss.
"When they shoot like that, it's going to be tough to beat them," Wade said after the game. "Obviously, we can always do things better. But give them credit."
The Heat were dominated tonight, and while the Celtics have flourished since the All-Star break, the Heat have hit a dry spell. Since the break, the Heat are 1-5 against the Los Angeles Lakers, the Celtics, the Oklahoma City Thunder, and the Chicago Bulls-three of the best teams in the league.
The Heat look to improve that record versus the league's best on Thursday when they play the Bulls on the road. The Celtics look to continue their hot shooting against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday.

Communication Resources
Delivering an Effective Presentation
Presentations are a source of anxiety for most people. Who doesn't know the experience of "butterflies" in the stomach prior to a big presentation. However, being prepared for and enthused about the material in the presentation goes a long way toward easing apprehension. Following are several tips to being an effective speaker, along with suggestions for visual supplements to make your next presentation a huge success!
Strategies for Relaxation
Control nervousness by breathing slowly and deeply from the diaphragm to help the body relax, reducing the body's tendency to speed up.
Voice projection by allowing the throat to open and relaxing the jaw improves articulation, diction, and pronunciation.
Practice several times, out loud with a group, if possible. Practicing ahead of time allows the brain to store key points for recall, helps keep pace, and makes smoother transitions between segments of the presentation as well as between presenters.
Pause intentionally and repeat key words to stress key points. Pausing is often used to emphasize meaning and slows down the pace to give the presenter ample time to re-group thoughts.
Stress management is important to relaxation. Through awareness of personal stress reactions (e.g., too many gestures, blushing, lack of eye contact, touching face, hair, awkward posture) chances of occurrence can be reduced.
The Use of Notes
Do not read from them because doing so gives the appearance of uncertainty and distracts the audience from
listening to the message.
Avoid sounding scripted by using notes as a scanning tool for the purpose of jogging memory. It is important to remember to look up when speaking.
Keep notes brief as long notes
create confusion. Write in large, printed text for easy reading (3 to 7
words per line). Keep the notes to the point and underline key words and
phrases to emphasize points. Remember to number notes in case they get out
of sequence. Using notes assists in speaking naturally and fluently.
Visual Aids
Write in large print using bulleted format or short phrases to make information easy for audiences to read and follow.
Do not show too much information at once as the audience should "anticipate" the speaker's next remarks, instead of jumping or reading ahead, and/or concentrating on points not yet introduced.
Use to clarify, illustrate, or support the presentation. Visual aids should enhance the effectiveness of the presentation by referencing key aspects of the presentation.
Use effective visual aid strategies by using 6 to 12 lines per visual, preferably 6, using only keywords. Using keywords makes text easy to read, prevents repeat speech text, and keeps the presenter in control of the content by allowing the speaker to add in detail, facts, etc.
If more than one visual, number and label each one to prevent visual aids from being shown out of order.
Turn off and/or remove each visual aid when finished to allow the audience to concentrate on the speaker, instead of the aid.
Practice and rehearse with visual aids to eliminate poor timing of presenting aids with the speech and to deemphasize the speaker's lack of experience.
Give to the audience at the appropriate time to provide additional information and to clarify, support or illustrate points.
Give during the presentation only if the audience needs to reference it to complete a task during the speech.
Give at the end of the presentation to provide the audience with extra information that they can take with them, while simultaneously preventing the audience from reading the handout during the speech.
Miscellaneous Strategies
Sum up key points at the end of the presentation to highlight important information one more time, bringing the audience back to the main purpose of the speech.
Use positive body language, gestures and movements to strengthen appeal and to show confidence as a speaker. A confident speaker will increase receptivity and engage the audience. If the presenter is comfortable, the audience will be too!

God of War III is almost here. Bigger, better and more brutal than ever before. But just how brutal is that? We've revisited the first two games to see how gory Kratos' adventures have been so far. And you know what? They're nasty.
So here are the most violent moments from the series so far. Be warned, they may not have the HD gore of the new game, but they're still the bits that made the original games 18-rated, so minors should probably click away now.
Right near the start of the first game, you get set upon by a load of Harpies who fly around you causing no end of mischief. With a simple press of Circle, Kratos plucks them from the air, gets a good foothold... and pulls their wings off.
Above: Reckon Kratos used to pull the wings off butterflies as a kid?
When you're as strong as Kratos, there's no need to finish your enemies off with weapons. Why not tear them in half with your bare hands? Too many games characters are lacking this kind of showmanship.
Above: If we did this to someone in real life, we'd shout 'rah' at the end too
Not only is this one of the most gruesome attacks in the game, it has a purpose too, yielding health when you execute it. So really you've got no excuse for not doing it every time.
Above: Come on, don't gargle your own blood. It's disgusting
Kratos shows no mercy as he's faced with a complex door mechanism that requires him to place this cage in a certain spot and pull a lever. The lever fries whatever's in the way, so the fact there's a prisoner inside the cage makes this a complex moral dilemma. Fortunately Kratos can't even spell 'moral dilemma' so he's happy to do the deed.
Above: OK, so you're in pain, but have you seen how cool you look?

The City of Dayton announced it will begin a new development project downtown. The commission approved a $36 million pre-development agreement for what's called the Water Street Project that will enhance riverfront property in the city.
Ohio is getting some national recognition for business development and job creation.
The Buckeye State ranked second in the country behind Texas last year for attracting new companies and business expansion. That's according to the annual list compiled by the business trade magazine Site Selection.
The Columbus Dispatch reports that several Ohio cities were recognized, too.
Columbus finished 10th among metropolitan areas with a population of at least 1 million people, and Cincinnati finished eighth.
After serving four months as the Ohio Development Leader, Jim Leftwich is leaving the position.
Gov. John Kasich's office stated that as Leftwich plans to return to the private sector, Christiane "Chris" Schmenk, general counsel for the Ohio Department of Development, will take over. Schmenk will lead the department's reorganization as the state's economic development efforts are moved to the new nonprofit private corporation JobsOhio. Schmenk will assume the director's role on Aug. 1.
A meeting between RG Properties and Miami Township trustees has resulted in a deal to construct a $9 million retail building at Lyons Road and Ohio 741.
Last night, founder of RG Properties, Randy Gunlock, entered into an executive session with the township officials after they discussed passing a resolution for the construction.
Springfield is adding another piece to its citywide redevelopment plans, as city commissioners have approved turning five acres of green space into two 8,400 square foot restaurant and retail buildings.
Commissioners will allow the development to take place at the site of the former Roosevelt Middle school on North Limestone Street. The new development will be called the Limestone Center and will be built by PGI Development of Powell, Ohio.
PGI will also build two office buildings behind the restaurant and retail space, which will be a combined 30,000 square feet.

What's the best way to describe Etta May? "Minnie Pearl with a migraine." To put it simply, when Etta May takes the stage, she is the reigning Queen of Southern Sass. She reflects "You know you're getting fat when you sit in the bathtub and the water in the toilet rises!"
Born and raised in Bald Knob, Arkansas, Etta May grew up alongside nine older brothers, who referred to their baby sister as "the human sacrifice." In fact, Etta May's parents - her father, a potpourri farmer, and her mother, bedridden by constant childbearing, - did not realize Etta May was a girl until she required a training bra.
Etta May met her husband, Delbert, an aspiring truck driver, at a friend's kegger. From across the yard their eyes locked in a love look. Nine months later, she was blessed with a boy, followed by a girl and two more boys. "That's where my comedy comes from. I just wait for my husband or kids to do something stupid, and then I write it down."
Through the years, Etta May had a string of dead end jobs. She faithfully drove a school bus for over 10 years. She says she learned how to handle unruly kids by Armor All-ing the seats, and touching the brakes, all the way home. One night, while volunteering as a BINGO caller, she recalls, "the ball sucker got stuck, and I was forced to entertain a room full of angry Catholics. It was then I realized I could make people laugh." Etta May, will take you on a redneck ride through the Deep South.
Etta May won the prestigious American Comedy Awards: "Stand-Up Comic of the Year," and has appeared on Oprah, Comic Strip Live, MTV, and as a guest commentator on "CBS Sunday Morning."
Etta May headlines the most successful all female "Southern Fried Chicks Tour". Selling out theatres all over the country. Think Blue Collar Comedy Tour with better hair! Etta May is also a headline comic on CMT's "CMT Comedy Stage" which is the second highest rated show in CMT history. The success of the Comedy Stage franchise led to the production of the Southern Fried Chicks Comedy Tour special as the first comedy concert series for the national cable network. She was also the subject and first female comic ever on the biography show, "Comedy Club." She joins the elite comedy company of Ron White, Larry the Cable Guy and Jeff Foxworthy, who are also featured in this series.
In addition to television, Etta May is a regular on the syndicated Bob & Tom radio show, TRU TV and a regular on XM and Sirius Radio's comedy channels.

Welcome to The 134th Carnival of Education
Cooperstown, NY is a busy place in the summer. Every week 96 youth baseball travel teams [and their families] come to the Cooperstown Dreams Park to play a week-long tournament; just a few weeks ago The National Baseball Hall of Fame's 2007 Induction Ceremony dragged over 70,000 more into a village of 2,000; this weekend the National Soccer Hall of Fame in nearby Oneonta hosted 5,000 who welcomed Mia Hamm's enshrinement.
I thought I'd host the Carnival of Education once all this summer hoopla died down. After committing to the 134th Carnival, I realized that I was in direct competition with the New York State Fair in Syracuse.
We have 44 booths in this edition of the Carnival of Education – here's hoping we draw more people than Wednesday night's Hilary Duff concert at the Fairgrounds.
And now for the Midway…
Trials and Tribulations of the New School Year
Mrs. Bluebird spent a chunk of her third full day of school outside the building. Fire drill? Nope, real emergency.
Frumteacher gives us a solid first-day report: what went right, what went wrong and what to improve on tomorrow.
Mister Teacher at Learn Me Good has sent home a 'welcome' letter to parents. It's got tips for a successful year and a few ground rules; my favorite is, "Dogfighting, convenience store robbery, and "making it rain" will not be tolerated."
Siobhan Curious has a thoughtful submission regarding discipline at the beginning of the school year. Maybe you can help her decide… should she be "Mean 'til Halloween?"
Mamacita of Scheiss Weekly picked up her instructor's ID today. She appears to have come to a harsh [and probably undeserved] realization.
Movers and Shakers in Curriculum
JD2718 has banned FOILing in his NYC classroom. You know, that tried-and-true method for multiplying binomials? It sounds radical, but he's got plenty of reasoning behind his decision.
Terrell at Alone on a Limb tells us about the interaction between a nonagenarian and a class of 10-year olds. This article runs the range from funny to touching – it's a must-read.
Henry of Why Homeschool read Ben Franklin's autobiography and muses on an American institution important both then and now: the library.
Jacque at Seeking Rest in the Ancient Paths has been researching pioneer life and can't help but ask, "How did pioneer women do all of this?!"
Shay at Life Without School tells us about how sailing was a part of her childhood. She's passing that knowledge – and more – on to her daughter.
Jocelyn, blogging out of Lothlorien, is writing her own e-book called "How to Build a Hope Chest." She wants to know why you have a hope chest and what it means to you.
Darren of Right on the Left Coast has to teach geometry this year from a textbook he hasn't used. Other teachers have, so he can use their lesson plans… right?
Denise at Let's Play Math is hooked on writing to learn math. She's put together an excellent list of resources to help you explore math journaling.
Amanda at The Daily Planet shares her fiction reading list that ranges from Jane Austen to Lord of the Rings. If her forthcoming non-fiction list is as good, we're all going to have to pencil in some more reading time.
Policy: For Better or Worse
Dave Saba of the American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence website spent a day on school beautification in DC. He came away with some first-hand insight on the state of DC public schools: he's got evidence, albeit anecdotal, that some things have improved and others haven't.
IB A Math Teacher has a problem with his state's ruling that Algebra I won't count toward 3 required years of math.
Matt Johnston of Going to the Mat thinks that Maryland's murky allowances for "test-taking anxiety" to bypass the MD high school exit exam isn't much different than social promotion.
Old Andrew at Scenes From the Battleground details the muddled philosophy and practice behind teaching civics/politics in tough British schools.
The Education Wonks are dismayed by falling reading scores in the United States. They want to know what happened and how we might fix it.
NYC Educator lays out 6 steps to solving that pesky teacher recruitment problem.
Thespis Journal respects the coverage of Dayton-area schools, but he can't help but feel that public education has been reduced to simplistic statistics and rankings.
Bill Ferriter at The Tempered Radical takes on a very interesting question: Should spouses and relatives of teachers be allowed to vote?
Education Notes Online has identified a pattern in NYC: clueless officials who don't know how to fix the system blame the teachers and close the schools. Re-organize. Rinse. Repeat.
Maria Marien knows that music makes our kids smarter. She's compelled to ask: If so, why aren't we committed to providing it?
Batya at Shiloh Musings doesn't think much of Yuli Tamir's education reforms in Israel, and she tells you exactly why.
The Ever-present Money Issues
Finance is Personal reminds us what student loans are for – and what they aren't for.
Millionaire Mommy Next Door is worried about an epidemic that plagues even our children: Affluenza.
Dave of Friends of Dave runs some numbers on the cost of school supplies at the household, local and state levels. He should feel lucky, says Staples, but he doesn't.
Saving Advice delivers a must-read on how to save money buying school supplies. If you've already gotten yours, read anyway – there are excellent tips to keep your kids and classrooms well-stocked on the cheap throughout the year. [And, as much as you may not want to hear it, there's always next year.]
Technology, Technology, Technology
The Homeschool 2.0 Blog took advantage of two free web applications to help her daughter collect and analyze survey data on all 50 state governments. Was it effective? Well, just ask the Wall Street Journal – they reported on it Thursday!
Sylvia at Generation YES takes some lessons from a recent study about McDonald's, marketing and children and applies them to technology.
Tom Kim has a well-considered, comprehensive plan for implementing blogs in his English classroom. I like what I see.
Teaching and Classroom Management

Jose Vilson reviews Gary Rubenstein's Reluctant Disciplinarian and then adds 10 disciplinary lessons he's learned.
Ms. T. at Lasting Peace tackles the complexities of childhood belonging, a child's relationship with parents and how she manages everything in between. She isn't comfortable with how her CIs are handling the kids, but I have a feeling she'll be the last to lose hope.
The Electives in That Liberal Arts Degree
Chanman had to dust off his anti-aircraft guns to deal with a helicopter parent attack on Buckhorn Road. She escaped this time, but he's not too worried if she comes back.
Joanne Jacobs is skeptical about Harvard Business Online's answer to the question, "Is College Necessary?"
Eric of Secondhand Thoughts is a retired soldier, full-time student and future history teacher. He tells us why he loves history and why he wants to teach it.

Judy at Consent of the Governed weighs in on the prosecution of two hardcore criminals – or relatively normal 7th graders with, well, 7th grade bad judgment, depending on how you look at it.
And, finally, Matthew K. Tabor reviews edublogger John Pearson's literary debut, Learn Me Good.
Not enough? Thirsty for more? Feel free to sate those desires in the Carnival of Education Archives.

It's been a pleasure handling this week's Carnival. Any thoughts, suggestions, criticism or errors/omissions? Just send an e-mail to email@example.com and let me know.

Just a clarification: FOIL is used to multiply binomials, not for factoring (that'd be the opposite operation).
Beautifully done carnival! Thanks for hosting!
Very well done! Your organization is simple, but effective, and I think the white space between sections makes a big difference. This is the first ed carnival in a long time that hasn't left me feeling overwhelmed at the number of posts to read.
What a great read for the first weekend of the new schoolyear! I must say that I really appreciated your e-mails, both for reconfirmation and for announcing the new carnival. Thanks!
