It was love at first sight
Inside Hogwarts school that night
When she walked up to the common room and he was waiting there for her.
He said, "Malfoy thinks you're hot."
"And Ron really thinks you're really hot."
"And for reasons unexplained to the readers I think you're hot too."
And she smiled as their lips met.
A scene we won't forget,
'Cause it was close to nineteen paragraphs long.
Rachel Robichaud, The Life of a Mary Sue
Cody answered again "I brought you here because I'm your biggest fan! I've always wanted to meet you in person, so I used my high intelligence to make a time machine to warp you in the future. Maybe we could have some butt kicking adventures or something."
Donatello pondered on what Cody said. "biggest fan...high intelligence...adventures...OH MY GOD! WE ARE IN A MARY SUE FANFIC!"
Everyone screamed.
I am everything you want, I am everything you need,
I am everything inside of you that you wish you could be.
I say all the right things, at exactly the right time,
But I mean nothing to you, and I don't know why...
— Vertical Horizon, Everything You Want
"Twelve Times A Day Man"? You can't just start makin' up terrible new characters!
My attempt to define the difference between a character who is a sue, and one who is merely a protagonist, in the simplest way possible:
A protagonist is someone the story revolves around. A mary sue is someone the world revolves around.
Others still carry this meaning out to extremes, and use the term to describe anyone who isn't a homeless junkie or a brooding sociopath with an alignment of chaotic neutral.
Ron: Did you see that new student on the train? I think she's another one.
Harry: Yeah, I saw her.
Hermione: Another what?
(they see the new student, who has a radiant halo of light about her face)
Hermione: ...Oh.
The heroine is usually an heiress, probably a peeress in her own right, with perhaps a vicious baronet, an amiable duke, and an irresistible younger son of a marquis as lovers in the foreground, a clergyman and a poet sighing for her in the middle distance, and a crowd of undefined adorers dimly indicated beyond. Her eyes and her wit are both dazzling; her nose and her morals are alike free from any tendency to irregularity; she has a superb contralto and a superb intellect; she is perfectly well-dressed and perfectly religious; she dances like a sylph, and reads the Bible in the original tongues. Or it may be that the heroine is not an heiress�that rank and wealth are the only things in which she is deficient; but she infallibly gets into high society, she has the triumph of refusing many matches and securing the best, and she wears some family jewels or other as a sort of crown of righteousness at the end. Rakish men either bite their lips in impotent confusion at her repartees, or are touched to penitence by her reproofs, which, on appropriate occasions, rise to a lofty strain of rhetoric; indeed, there is a general propensity in her to make speeches, and to rhapsodize at some length when she retires to her bedroom. In her recorded conversations she is amazingly eloquent, and in her unrecorded conversations, amazingly witty.
Bob is so cool, other Mary Sue's weep at the mere mention of his name, for they know there's no way they could possibly be as cool as... well, you get the idea.
Are you frightened, by perfection?
Is this who you are, not who you want to be?
—Plushgun, Just Impolite
"This has to be the most selfish, male-depending, uncaring, manipulative, self-centered, pretentious, idiotic, whining little bitch-bag you will ever see in your entire life! And honestly, that wouldn't be too bad a character, that'd be very, very interesting IF IT WAS INTENTIONAL!!!"
"So, after all the Twilight movies, all the bullshit, two movies, divided up, actually telling us, 'The moral of the story, the moral of the story... is if you sacrifice NOTHING, do nothing, play these boy toys like... BOY TOYS, you can live happily ever after as the blood-sucking demon that you are.' FUCK YOU, STEPHANIE MEYERS!!!"
— The Nostalgia Critic, on the ending of Twilight Breaking Dawn: Part 2 and the series in general during his review of the film at Shadocon 2012
Perfect people are boring. Perfect people are obnoxious because they're better than us. Perfect people are, above all, too good to be true.
— How NOT to Write a Novel, "Too Good To Be True"
"Since it's important to write what you know, the main character will be you! But while you are a depressed, socially retarded dullard who no one will ever obviously admit to liking, your author insertion character is a fantasy, so they will be a charismatic eccentric who is unconditionally loved by everyone while he's setting their dog on fire!"
"First Zod falls in love with Lana, now Bizarro? Is Brainiac next? Hey, I have an awesome idea, Al and Miles. Let's introduce Doomsday, but instead of being evil, he falls in love with Lana! I'm a fucking genius! I just wrote Season 8!"

Woolie: ...And he infiltrates, and he's the new jaegar, he's like; "Hey guys, what's going, hey, what are we doing about the kaijus???"

Onward, Sueish soldiers, with our violet eyes,
Grammar is our en�my, fans� reviews our prize.
Satan is our homeboy, logic is our foe,
Give us stupid powers, wind us up and watch us go!
Curves in the right places, powers that make no sense,
Onward, Sueish soldiers, here to cause offence!
Hark! The English teachers, weeping in despair!
Murd�rers soften when they see our haunch-length hair.
Mark our tragic childhoods, watch us try to spell,
When we reign in Heaven you�ll be glad you�re bound for Hell.
Curves in the right places, powers that make no sense,
Onward, Sueish soldiers, here to cause offence!
Like a gestalt entity, Sues are much the same,
Myrmidons of evil, each with twenty names.
Like the Hydra, Sues can never be erased;
FF.net deletes one, three spring up to take her place.
Curves in the right places, powers that make no sense,
Onward, Sueish soldiers, here to cause offence!
Fandoms come and fandoms go, fads and fashions pass,
Mary Sues alone will be etern�lly crass.
Overcome we never shall be by taste and wit;
As Einstein will tell you, we�re the one thing infinite.
Curves in the right places, powers that make no sense,
Onward, Sueish soldiers, here to cause offence!
So, do not resist us! Join our hackneyed fight!
Why write proper fiction when you could write tripe?
Proofreaders won�t stop us; mods can do their worst.
We will rule you all if we don�t kill each other first.
Curves in the right places, powers that make no sense,
Onward, Sueish soldiers, here to cause offence!
— Onward, Sueish Soldiers, by Cherylbites of Das Sporking
Y'know, I think I understand the Mary Sue a little better now. What makes a Sue isn't that they have limitless powers and quirks and "special" qualities... it's need.
Mary Sues are generally "chosen ones," destined to save others. The world revolves around them as a perfect crystal star. But it's all window dressing... there's no room in the story for anyone else to truly help them better themselves, denying them the potential for growth and increased empathy. They love people, but they don't need them.
But Kirk, the Doctor, Wolverine... they DO need people. They have flaws which require the presence of others to counteract. Kirk is headstrong and cocksure, the Doctor can get lost in his god-complex and lose perspective, Wolverine just goes nuts sometimes. While they're certainly brilliantly capable, to be at their very best they must connect with those around them. Even Superman needs to be brought down to Earth by Batman now and then.
But each Sue is an island. This may be the key to their downfall, because this is why no one loves them like they seem to think they should. They don't NEED to connect with others for support, their empathy is purely cosmetic. They're each designed so that they can handle any situation with nothing but their own perfect attributes.
Found in the comments of the webcomic Ensign Sue Must Die
Purple Beetle: With my powers, I can easily crush God-Man! Than I will be able to rob banks unimpeded!
Narrator: From his God-Hideout atop Mt. Zevuluss on the planet Xeq, the omniscient God-Man lifts an eyebrow and the Purple Beetle is no more!

7 firefighters struck by lightning battling fire
Updated On: Jul 02 2014 07:44:19 PM EDT
Seven firefighters were checked for injuries after lightning struck nearby as they battled a blaze in Guilford.
According to a posting on the Guilford Volunteer Fire Department's Facebook page, firefighters from that company and others were working on a structure fire Wednesday afternoon when lightning hit "in close proximity."
Michael Travisano, the nursing supervisor at Brattleboro Memorial Hospital, says none of the injuries were serious. Two firefighters were treated and released.
A woman who answered the phone at the fire station didn't have any information Wednesday evening.
Severe storms rolled through the Northeast and New England on Wednesday, spawning heavy rains and lightning.

Hi Guys:
I wonder if anyone knows wich font is this:
I hope this isn't a custom job...
Thanks in advance!!

Might be Helvetica Inserat with a reversed N.

The degradation is custom, if that's what you're looking for.
Yeah, I was looking for the exact degradation showed on the image... so I guess you would say: "anotherone font bytes the dust", I better start looking for a similar type to do the job...

Blizzard had their Q1 2014 earnings call today, announcing that WoW is down to 7.6 million subscribers. This is down 200k from the Q4 2013 call that listed WoW at 7.8 million subscribers.
I think people just do the whole the grass is greener thing/ follow the crowd >.<It actually usually wins the best expansion polls now, though you wouldnt have known it from threads at the time.
Yeah I'm surprised how short some peoples memories are...wotlk had so many whiners it was unreal, blizzard even tried to change from the wotlk model in cata by making things harder/ require CC because of the sheer quantity of people saying wotlk was too easy, then you have polls today saying wotlk was the best thing since sliced bread for some reason :S
Some if us think it's in the decline phrase already.
WoW's player base has never been all that stable. There is a very high turn over rate. In the past, they manage to attract more new players than bleed players per unit time, hence the growth.
Not sure if WoW is losing more players than "usual", but I don't see them as having the same ability to get new players as before - the game is old; it looks like something from the late PS2 era, that's not going to impress the generation that grew up on the PS3/360's HDR, per-pixel lit graphics - saying what you want about graphics, good graphics sell - and with the PS4 taking over ...
- - - Updated - - -
"Down to 7.6m subscribers."
Apparently it's not as easy as one would think to find sales figures for games, but according to one source the #4 selling video game of 2013 sold about the same number of copies. So only three games managed to sell significantly more copies in all of 2013 than WoW has subs right now.
Combined with the fact that they really have had the same amount of subs over about the last year, WoW's going strong. Not as strong as it used to be, but still, very strong.
We are down to end-of-vanilla numbers. How can anyone really expect that this game will go back to 2010 subs? This game is bleeding subs because it's old and that is how it is for all old products. If you look at MoP start all you can expect at WoD launch is a 1 million jump that will drop back after 3 months.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – It's becoming the summer of the lunch truck in the Twin Cities. Some of the popular, mobile eateries even have a gourmet flavor. All along the avenues, hungry workers are finding a new way to dine.
There's a real variety of choices — everything from brats and mini doughnuts to sweet potato tacos and lobster.
Photojournalist Joe Berglove went behind the scenes to see how they work.

I hope that my books - and whatever forms the stories may go on to take - will capture the imagination of their readers, create a vehicle for discussing environmental issues, and encourage young people to tackle global challenges by becoming the scientists and engineers of tomorrow.
I therefore found myself rushing to see the Matisse cutouts at the Tate Modern, the Folk Art at Tate Britain, the Marina Abramovic at the Serpentine along with the annual pavilion there, as well as a show at the Science Museum by Joshua Sofaer called the Rubbish Collection.
There are numerous reasons for visiting England's Stately Homes, one being that you learn history right where it happened. However, another is that they offer a wonderful reference point for interior design, often being the ambassadors for style of a particular era.
Incredibly, boldly, Kate sets aside an orthodox playlist in preference for a three-hour piece of theatre that's as much an exploration of the human subconscious as it is a showcase for Kate's illustrious back catalogue.
At GCSE, I studied Steinbeck and Priestley. My first year at A-Level, I studied Browning, Auden, Fitzgerald and Hosseini. It was only in the second year that I studied Carter and Bronte as well as Marlowe. Work by female authors took up less than a third of my secondary education space - and unequal gender representation is set to increase.
John Constable remains one of Britain's best-loved artists and I don't think you will ever see a more thorough examination of his approach to and design of his work than this new exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
"Identity is not as stable as it once was. It is transient, fragmented and manufactured." So say Jonny Burt and Joe Kennedy in the catalogue foreword to U, the new exhibition of portrait paintings at The Unit London of which they are the directors.
With globe-trotting having fed his muse (he has lived in Tokyo, New York, Sydney, Rome, Amsterdam and Barcelona), Thomson has now based his family in London, his intellect undimmed by what some might call the coziness of home.
What to do if you're not JK Rowling, you don't have a big publishing house to promote you but you're determined to make your book a success?
Space Age is the title of the new exhibition at London's Hus Gallery and features four young emerging artists - Nathan Green from Texas, Ophelia Finke from Frankfurt, Germany, Santiago Taccetti, an Argentine based in Berlin, and Konrad Wyrebek from Poland.
As a book publicist and marketing strategist, working with authors on press campaigns and book launches, this whole experience raised a lot of interesting questions for me. How much publicity is 'good' publicity? What is 'bad' publicity? Is there too high a price for marketing a book?
Unless you've been living inside a black hole since the early 1990s, the allusions to the current referendum must be apparent. For as a child of Britain, unable to affect the potential break up of the United Kingdom on Thursday, the naïve response is to feel this is unfair...
n Chris MacDonald's slick, provocative, and generally stirring debut play Eye of a Needle, in place of rich men there are homosexuals from Jamaica, Uganda, and Nigeria; instead of the kingdom of God, we have modern England, with its scaremongering tabloids, institutional racism, and xenophobic populism.
Jimi Hendrix once said, "When you're dead, you're made for life." The mythologising of celebrities who burn bright and die young - to which the guitar maestro referred and which turned out to be a self-fulfilling prophesy -is the theme of London street artist D*Face, aka Dean Stockton's forthcoming pop-up exhibition in Los Angeles.
I've been nominated for that social media challenge of picking ten books which affected me or shaped me in some way- and there's a challenge to savour. A week's thinking and a bit of writing later, here it is. Plots thankfully recovered.
Chimene Suleyman, a London-born poet, journalist and essayist of Turkish heritage, has produced Outside Looking On, a debut collection of poems for Influx Press; a very fine piece of work which, given its timing, captures London at a pivotal moment in its history.

Isn't it cool how infants have the ability to swim in the womb? Did we inherit this from the mermaids?
They don't have to swim but they are attached to the umbilical cord and therefore they can't go anywhere.
Its cool but why cant i swim anymore?
Without having seen that show, I doubt very many people could fully grasp that question
I'd like to know who fills their air tanks... It's one of life's little mysteries..
I will sit here all day now shaking my head slowly thinking about this problem..... thank you.... another day wasted.....
Swim? Have you taken a look at the size of the pool they are in. The most they can do in there, is stretch a limb at a time to try to get a bit more comfortable.
Yes, it really is. Heck, if you look at your newborn child, you gaze in awe; and you wonder, *How in the world did my belly grow big enough to store a thing that size? *
It's quite an experience. The best ever, in my own opinion.

Intel Jimmy – 21st Century Robot Project – Andrew Alter Interview – Part 1 (Video)
In Part 1 of our interview series with Andrew Alter with Trossen Robotics (http://www.trossenrobotics.com) he explains how he initially became involved with Intel's Jimmy - 21st Century Robot Project, how the design evolved, and how 3D printing fast tracked the robot's development cycle.
Stay tuned for Part 2.
Intel Jimmy – 21st Century Robot Project – Performance Demonstration (Video)
Intel wants to remove a lot of the barriers to entry in robotics so that more people can get involved, and hopefully contribute their ideas, know-how, and skills to rapidly evolving the technology. And, of course they hope that will also result in lots of new robots incorporating Intel semiconductors and other products.
One of their big initiatives is "The 21st Century Robot Project" that will make available robot kits featuring completely Open-Source humanoid robots with advanced functionality. This will allow developers to focus on their application and particular area of interest without getting hung up trying to make the robot walk.
In this initial video, Jimmy - the first 21st Century Robot humanoid to debut, demonstrates some of his skills and capabilities.
I'll be posting additional information and videos on Jimmy's development, specifications, the two other smaller Jimmy versions, and future plans.

RAPIRO Meets Darwin MINI
Two of the most interesting, and most affordable, humanoid robots that have come on the scene recently are the Darwin MINI (Robotis) and RAPIRO. Both of the new robots have strong/cute personalities and are open-source designs encouraging users to engage, experiment, and learn by doing. They're extremely user friendly.
Yoshihiro Shibata, a top Japanese humanoid robot designer currently working with Sugiura Machine Design Office, was kind enough to share these side-by-side photos comparing Darwin Mini and Rapiro-

Hmm tough call. Well I guess financially you have to be able to afford it without trouble. And then you should try to figure out how much you'll actually wear the items/how much enjoyment you'll get out of them in the long run. Also something to consider is how much stuff in your closet could go with the new things you want.It's really hard not to make shopping a completely emotional trip! posted almost 5 years ago

I was reading What I Wore and a tip that she gives is to find the cost per wear: If you figure that you'll wear it many times, then a high cost is probably worth it – on the other hand if you're only likely to wear the piece once or twice ever, don't bother paying much.
Definitely agree w/ CrystalC's comment that you should make sure that you can actually wear it in the first place: It's the most disappointing thing when you see a piece and find it amazing, buy it, bring it home, and realize that NOTHING goes with it (and then if you're like me you go out and waste a ton more money buying stuff to go with it, hahahaha).posted almost 5 years ago

I usually design/find a complete outfit and look for the pieces rather than buy a piece and match it to other pieces. Although the latter seems to work for most people, I can't stand having pieces that I don't know what to do with.posted almost 5 years ago

First Impressions: Happiness Charge PreCure! Episodes 1-2
by Brittany Vincent
I'm no stranger to magical girl anime, but I've never watched a PreCure series. I've always been interested, but once I sat down and started watching, the daunting task of sitting through 50+ episodes of each series no longer appealed to me. I'm not sure why I decided to start with Happiness Charge PreCure!, especially given the fact that the series has reached its 10-year anniversary, and there's a lot about the franchise I just don't know. Still, considering the fact that at its heart it's about love, happiness, dreams, and all that typical girly stuff, I figured it would be pretty simple to jump into.view full story + comments
Review: Kamisama Kiss
by Karen Mead
When I dream of becoming God, these fantasies usually don't involve a white-haired pretty boy with fox ears who follows me around and does my bidding; clearly, I've been doing it wrong. Now that Kamisama Kiss has taught me the error of my ways, my visions of deity will probably contain more sexy fox men and less sending other drivers to burn in eternal hellfire when they forget to use their blinkers. It's probably healthier this way.
Have your own delusions of Godhood been too full of wrath and too light on supernatural boyfriends lately? Then you too could probably use some Kamisama Kiss in your life.view full story + comments
Exploring shoujo manga
by Karen Mead
Look guys, it's my first video! Let it never be said that I've been left behind in the age of new technology by sticking solely to writing text! Actually, I've totally been left behind in the age of new technology (I worked in newspapers, for crying out loud), but um...I have a webcam now?
Anyway, I'm trying to decide which monthly shoujo manga magazine I want to subscribe to, so I bought a whole bunch to see which ones had the best stories. They all came with cool little extras (called furoku), so I figured I'd do a video so you could see what they all come with, plus give my general impressions so far.view full story + comments
Review: Sailor Moon
by Karen Mead
As a Sailor Moon fan, or "Moonie" of 15 years, it's kind of amazing that I never got around to reading the entire manga until now. I guess it's not that weird when you think about it; early on, I was all about anime and had little interest in manga, then by the time I was interested, the old Tokyopop editions of the manga were out of print. I did buy the Japanese editions at Kinokuniya a few years back, but that was more for the sake of having them as collectibles; my rudimentary Japanese knowledge only provided me with tiny bits and pieces of the story.
Still, all this time I've been hearing from fans that the manga is far superior to the anime. The manga's alleged quality has almost reached mythic status: "Tuxedo Mask is so much more useful in the manga," Moonies whisper reverently in my ear. "Rei's character is so much more interesting. The tone is so much more mature than the anime. The end of the last arc actually makes sense," etc. etc. etc.
All this is a roundabout way of saying that while I'd like to approach the manga with fresh eyes, and avoid the mistake of constantly comparing it to the anime, I really can't help it; I'm a fan who's seen all 200 episodes of the TV series (and all three movies), and I can't pretend otherwise. I can only say that I've endeavored to avoid comparing the two in a way that seems unfair. That bias acknowledged and out of the way, were the fans right about the superiority of the manga: the original, unadulterated Sailor Moon story? To be honest, even as I sit here the proud owner of 14 volumes of Naoko Takeuchi's fantasy opus, I'm still not sure.view full story + comments
A Look @: Sweet Rein, vol. 1
by Kristina Pino
Last week saw the release of the first volume of Sweet Rein, a Christmas-themed love story published by VIZ Media. It's a translation of Sakura Tsukuba's Yoroshiku Master, which is finished, and mercifully short (three volumes). Indeed, it's short enough that I decided that for the first time since Kimi ni Todoke I'd be giving one of these cutesy romance-type stories another shot.
Sweet Rein follows the story of Kurumi, a 17-year-old girl who was down in the dumps because she expected to spend Christmas all by her lonesome, when she suddenly encounters the lovable Kaito on the street. He bumps into her and a magical rein appears to bind them together, and thus begins a master and servant relationship in which she is a Santa and he a magical reindeer who can (and will) do anything she commands, including turning into a straight-up reindeer.view full story + comments

Japanator Recommends: Revolutionary Girl Utena Pt. 1
by Pedro Cortes
Surrealism is difficult to pull off properly in any genre or medium. Sure it's easy to slap some bizarre stuff next to a speaking character and say that it's surreal, but it rarely adds more to the final product. It usually takes away more than it puts in. Take Excel Saga for example. It's legendary for it's schizophrenic humor, but even as a fan of the show I can say that insanity can be overwhelming and is at times unwatchable.
That said, there are a couple of examples of shows that are beyond bizarre and still manage to tell a cohesive story. Revolutionary Girl Utena is one of these shows, but not without a couple of caveats. Hit the jump to find out why you should watch this excellent, if flawed classic by the director of multiple Sailor Moons and script writer for FLCL, Diebuster and Star Driver.

Kaichou wa Maid Sama! and female strength
by Lauren Rae Orsini
When a friend suggested I check out Kaichou wa Maid Sama! (President is a Maid!) I was expecting a bubbly shoujo comedy-romance. I was half right.
The leading lady, Ayuzawa Misaki, is anything but bubbly. The class president who works as a maid cafe for plot-convenient financial reasons, Misaki is poised, authoritative, and physically strong. The humor comes from the plot point that, as the female student president of a mostly male school, she can't let anyone know about her part time job. (The romance comes from one particularly hot classmate who finds out and promises to keep it on the DL.)
When the series started, I thought Misaki's ability to verbally and physically overtake her male classmates would soon give in to feminine vulnerability as soon as she found a love interest -- that she's just a tsundere that needed a man to set her straight.view full story + comments

First Impressions: Hime Chen! Otogi Chikku Idol Lilpri
by Karen Mead
Summary: Do you have a five-year-old daughter? No? Move along, nothing to see here.
They said it was impossible, but I proved them wrong; I've found a shoujo show that makes Yumeiro Patissiere look deep. Sure, it's not like I was expecting a helluva lot from Lilpri (which is what I'm calling it from now on- I hate, HATE every single title of every single show this season), but there's always a chance that an unassuming little magical-girl show will win me over, so I felt like I had to give it a try.
Hit the jump for why no one, except a slew of five-year-old Japanese girls and maybe myself, will be watching Lilpri this season.view full story + comments
First Impressions: Kaichou wa Maid-sama
by Brad Rice
Summary: Middle of the road shoujo fare that's probably nothing more than a promotional tool for the manga.
I'll admit: I fall pretty easily for shoujo material. Stuff like Lovely Complex or Crimson Hero? I drink that milkshake. I drink it all up. Some of the tropes and storylines just don't work for me, though, and I quickly find myself bored to tears. Kaichou wa Maid-sama stands squarely between the two, and I must admit, it's frustrating.
Naturally, I've got the lowdown on this show after the jump. Won't you please join me for this First Impression, master?view full story + comments

Sept. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Xiao Nan Guo Restaurants Holdings Ltd., an operator of restaurants in China, said it canceled a HK$581 million ($75 million) initial public offering in Hong Kong because of "recent excessive market volatility."
The company made the decision in the interests of investors after consulting the sale's sponsors, according to a Hong Kong stock exchange filing yesterday. Xiao Nan Guo, based in Shanghai, said it will refund deposit money.
The chain planned to sell 335 million shares to fund new restaurants and repay bank loans, according to a Sept. 15 offering document. As of Sept. 19, investors had lost money on 37 of the 48 companies that started trading this year, and equity sales are set for the slowest third quarter since 2008. Companies have canceled or delayed more than $14 billion of equity offerings in Hong Kong this year, a record.
XCMG Construction Machinery Co. delayed a Hong Kong stock sale of as much as $1.5 billion, people with knowledge of the matter said last week. Sany Heavy Industry Co. delayed its first share sale in the city for "a few days," the South China Morning Post newspaper said this week.

Guantánamo: The Men We Left Behind
Of the 171 prisoners still there, only about two dozen are hardened militants and war criminals. Most are like Noor Uthman Muhammed nameless, low-level operatives, or hapless men who were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
By Tyler Cabot
For more on Noor's story, click here to read 'The Prisoners of Guantánamo' >>
After 9/11, all foreign fighters in Afghanistan — including Noor and others who never fought with or belonged to Al Qaeda — were on the run. Noor was captured in this safe house in Faisalabad, Pakistan, in March 2002. Downstairs, Noor and other men were waiting for passports to return home (most recruits must give their passports up when they enter a training camp). Upstairs, behind a locked metal door Noor wasn't allowed to pass through, investigators recovered bomb-making materials. Abu Zubaydah was trying to flee from the second floor when he was shot. If Zubaydah, one of the most-wanted terrorists at the time, ended up knowing very little, Noor knew that much less.

California American Water Announces New Water Rates For Businesses
California American Water is sending out a survey this week to its businesses and public agencies in Monterey County that will begin a new way of billing for those customers.
Last year, a group of local businesses, led by the Coalition of Peninsula Businesses, approached California American Water about changing the way it charges commercial customers. For years, businesses' water bills were based on an individual allotment. The allotment was calculated on criteria involving the type of business, square footage, number of tables – if a restaurant, and other factors. If businesses exceeded their allotment they were charged higher rates in an effort to encourage water conservation.
"The problem with this system was that the allotments were based on average consumption for a particular business type," said Bob McKenzie, a water issues consultant for the Coalition of Peninsula Businesses. "That means that if a business is doing very well it would be penalized."
Together with the Coalition, the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District and the Division of Ratepayer Advocates, California American Water has proposed a new non-residential billing system to the California Public Utilities Commission that does not depend on allotments. Instead, the water provider will determine whether or not a business is complying with best management practices in water conservation and base rates on that information."The idea," said California American Water operations manager for the Coastal Division Eric Sabolsice, "is that if a business is doing all the right things to save water, they should be charged lower rates." In order to implement the new system, California American Water is sending a survey to all non-residential customers this week to determine which category of best management practice compliance each customer falls into. "It is very important that customers fill out this survey and return it to us," said Sabolsice. "If customers do not fill out the survey, they will be automatically placed in the highest category of rates – which is two and a half times the cost of the lowest category."

HBIO Reports Third Quarter 2010 Revenue Growth Of 26% Over Third Quarter 2009
HOLLISTON, Mass., Nov. 3, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Harvard Bioscience, Inc. (Nasdaq:HBIO), a global developer, manufacturer, and marketer of a broad range of tools to advance life science research and regenerative medicine, today reported unaudited financial highlights for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Third Quarter Reported Results
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $26.5 million, an increase of $5.5 million, or 26.0%, compared to revenues of $21.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Currency exchange rates had a negative 3.3% effect on revenues in the third quarter of 2010 compared with the third quarter of 2009. The Company's acquisitions of Denville Scientific in September 2009 and Coulbourn Instruments in August 2010 had a positive 24.7% effect on revenues in the third quarter of 2010 compared to the third quarter of 2009. Excluding the effects of currency exchange rates and acquisitions, the Company's organic revenue growth for the third quarter of 2010 was 4.6% over the same period in the previous year.Net income, as measured under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), was $12.7 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the same period in 2009. Net income for the third quarter includes $11.2 million, or $0.39 per diluted share benefit from income taxes. This income tax benefit reflects an $11.3 million, or $0.39 per diluted share benefit from the reversal of valuation allowances on certain deferred income tax assets as management currently believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to realize these benefits. Non-GAAP adjusted net income was $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2010 compared to $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2009, which represented a 3.1% year-to-year increase. Non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.08 for the third quarter of 2010 and the third quarter of 2009. The favorable year-to-year third quarter non-GAAP adjusted earnings impact from the acquisition of Denville Scientific and Coulbourn Instruments, and organic growth in the base business was offset by softer conditions in the Hoefer and Harvard Apparatus Spain subsidiaries, the effect of a tax credit recognized in the third quarter of 2009 and a negative impact from currency exchange rates.

Herzliya Hebrew Gymnasium
|Herzliya Hebrew High School
HaGymnasia HaIvrit Herzliya
הגימנסיה העברית הרצליה
|Herzliya Hebrew High School, 1936
|Tel Aviv, Israel
|Ze'ev Dgannie
The Herzliya Hebrew Gymnasium (Hebrew: הגימנסיה העברית הרצליה, HaGymnasia HaIvrit Herzliya, Also known as Gymnasia Herzliya), originally known as HaGymnasia HaIvrit (lit. Hebrew High School) is a historic high school in Tel Aviv, Israel.
The school was founded in 1905 in Ottoman-controlled Jaffa. The cornerstone-laying for the school's new building on Herzl Street in the Ahuzat Bayit neighborhood of Tel Aviv took place on July 28, 1909. Gymnasia Herzliya was the country's first Hebrew high school.[1] The building was designed by Joseph Barsky, inspired by descriptions of Solomon's Temple.[2]
The building on Herzl Street was a major Tel Aviv landmark until 1962, when the site was razed for the construction of the Shalom Meir Tower. The destruction of the building sparked widespread recognition of the importance of conserving historical landmarks. The Society for Preservation of Israel Heritage Sites was founded in the 1980s partly in response to the fate of Herzliya Hebrew High School.
Located today on Jabotinsky Street, it serves as a six-year secondary school. The modern campus is entered through a gate that is a replica of the facade of the 1909 building.
Former principals include Haim Bograshov, Baruch Ben Yehuda and Carmi Yogev. In 1992, former Air Force commander, Ron Huldai was appointed principal. He implemented many changes and modernizations later adopted by other schools.[citation needed] After leaving the school, he was elected mayor of Tel Aviv. The current principal is Ze'ev Dgannie.

'Supermensch': an eye-opening look at star-maker Shep Gordon
A three-star movie review of "Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon," a documentary directed by Mike Myers that chronicles the fascinating life of one of Hollywood's most fabled raconteurs and charismatic talent managers.
Special to The Seattle Times
Movie Review ★★★
'Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon,' a documentary directed by Mike Myers. 84 minutes. Rated R for language, some sexual references, nudity and drug use. Seven Gables. For an interview with Gordon, go to www.seattetimes.com/movies.
In the feature-length documentary "Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon," Mike Myers makes his directorial debut by chronicling the fascinating life of one of Hollywood's most fabled raconteurs and charismatic talent managers.
Using candid interviews with Gordon's peers and friends — Michael Douglas, Sylvester Stallone, Alice Cooper, Willie Nelson, Steven Tyler and others — Myers weaves behind-the scenes anecdotes with archival footage to provide an eye-opening glimpse of how celebrities achieve fame.
Gordon is most famous for using carefully crafted media manipulation to steer the career of a then failing musician, Cooper, into an icon of teenage rebellion and massive success. He freely admits to hiring photographers with no film in their cameras to trail Cooper through the streets and once called the cops to try and get the shock rocker arrested for indecency — all just to drum up some much-needed publicity.
Gordon comes off as sincere in his interviews with Myers — especially when he talks about the trappings of fame and how unhealthy it can be.
"If I do my job perfectly, I will probably kill you," Gordon says in the film.
Myers' attempt to balance the narrative of Gordon's early life of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll with his more subdued current persona are a bit choppy but provide a much- needed contrast. Early on, Janis Joplin introduces him to Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd; later, he spends time hosting genteel dinner parties.

Dr. Tedrow is great. She helped save my life in 2006, after a bizarre incident involving arrhythmia and a resultant mini-stroke/seizure/bradycardia. No problems since, and no limitations. I have a pacemaker, and take the beta blocker metoprolol and the blood thinner warfarin.

Author: JBH (New User)

Hi- I'm using APA citation style. I know how to edit a citation to remove the author and just show the year in parentheses, eg. '...as demonstrated by Smith and colleagues (1987).' Sometimes, however, I want to add a small bit of text within the parentheses with the date, eg. '...impact of these findings (for a review, see Smith et al., 1987).' HOWEVER, when I type this and then insert the citation, I get double parentheses like so: '...impact of these findings (for a review, see Smith et al., (1987)).' This is not APA acceptable- how do I fix this problem? Cheers, JBH

This tank reminded me of something Brad Pitt's character would rock in the movie Fight Club. It's a dirty / raw look but really has some nice style to it. It's a bit longer than a most, but I don't mind. Nice quality materials and craftsmanship, a piece worth picking up.
