.- In anticipation of the World Day of Prayer for Vocations – which the Church celebrates this coming Sunday, the 29th of April, the National Office for Vocation of the Bishops Conference of England and Wales has launched a new vocations program which utilizes Japanese-style "manga" illustrations.
"We have chosen the Manga cartoons for the 2007 campaign, because we hope it will appeal to young people under twenty as well as people in their thirties," Fr. Paul Embery, Director of the National Office for Vocation, explained to the Italian Religious Service.
"Many of today's priests and religious people say they first thought of their callings at the age of ten, sometimes even earlier."
A poster with the cartoons showing the future priests and religious of England and Wales has been distributed in nearly five thousand Catholic churches, schools, and places of prayer around the country a dedicated website will be launched next Sunday (www.calledtoday.com).
The website tells the life of the five real characters with a real story to tell, experiences that will be told live by a priest, two nuns, a monk and a lay man who devoted his life to the Church.
For the occasion, the English Bishops have also published the latest statistics on callings, which see the number of applicant priests constantly rising over the last four years. Today there are 150 seminarians in the dioceses of England and Wales.

text: Park National Bank--the core company of the Park National Corporation--is one of the most solidly-run community banks that I have encountered. The quality of their customer service is nearly unrivaled by big banks present in the same area; this grants them a superb advantage with customer retention and satisfaction, a phenomenon that is a rare encounter in the modern world of banking. Their involvement in their home community is remarkable as well, further exemplifying their commitment to community service and investment.The management of Park National Corporation runs the company responsibly and conservatively, for the most part; rather than favoring higher-risk activities like the larger banks, they prefer to stick to a solid foundation of responsible lending and growth of local business. The acquisition of the over-leveraged Vision Banks of Northwestern Florida and Alabama was a costly blunder that was later acknowledged, but such mistakes are rare for this company.Business was hit hard during the recession, and is still recovering, but even when faced with a sharply declining stock price--which plunged to the mid 40's during the nadir of March 2009--the company held firm, continuing to lend money when many banks simply ceased to do so, and never once slashed its dividend. Several Fools had thought this dividend was unsustainable, but if the company can still afford to pay an unwavering $3.76 annual dividend per share in the face of the "Great Recession," I should think it speaks to the underlying strength of the company and its ability to weather harder times. With a strong 2010 now in the books as evidence of its resilience, Park is well-positioned to take advantage of a recovering economy in the year(s) to come.

It's been mere days since Samsung announced that Galaxy S4 sales reached 6 million units. Now the phone is on track to be the company's fastest selling ever, according to CEO JK Shin. Shin revealed to reporters in Seoul on Thursday that the phone will top 10 million units sold sometime next week. If you're doing the math, that's picking up 4 million in sales within a range of seven days (plus or minus a few).
The surge to 10 million could have something do with the phone's release on Verizon scheduled for May 23rd or it could simply speak to the insane popularity of the device. For comparison, it took the Galaxy S3 50 days to cross 10 million in sales. The Galaxy 4 will do so less than a month after its release.

RECIPE | a different avocado toast recipe
Avocado toast is all over the internet and trendy London brunch menus as if it were a recent invention. Finnish rye bread topped with avocado, a sprinkle of sea salt, and occasionally a poached or fried egg or a slice of Manchego cheese has been the preferred lazy weekend breakfast or afternoon snack in my parents' house for over a decade, for good reason.
Instead of paying upwards of £6 for something that takes less than 10 minutes to make, try this unusual variation on the theme. Though the combination of ingredients may sound strange at first, consider that each ingredient works well together: avocado + chili; avocado + chocolate; avocado + lime; chocolate + chili; chocolate + olive oil; chocolate + sea salt; chocolate + black pepper; and chocolate + lime. (Perhaps unsurprisingly, this dish was also inspired by The Flavour Thesaurus). The cacao nibs add a crunchy and bitter contrast to the creamy and sweet avocado, and the chili flakes provide a nice kick of heat at the end.
Serve with a side of scrambled eggs, sautéed mushrooms, roasted tomatoes, and/or a simple salad to turn this snack into a filling breakfast, or accompanied by a Mexican black bean soup for dinner /// Omit the cacao nibs and rub the toast with a clove of garlic before topping with the remaining ingredients for a more traditional take on the dish
2 thick slices of country-style or whole-grain bread
1 ripe avocado
about 1 tablespoon raw cacao nibs
chili flakes
flakey sea salt, such as Maldon
black pepper
about 2 teaspoons good quality extra virgin olive oil
a lime wedge
Toast the bread. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and cut the flesh into cubes, being careful not to cut through the skin. Scoop the avocado pieces out of the skin and spread them across the slices of toast, smashing them slightly into the bread. Sprinkle with the cacao nibs, and chili flakes, sea salt and black pepper to taste. Drizzle with olive oil and a squeeze of lime, and serve.
Serves: 2 as a snack or light breakfast, or 1 hungry person
Time to table: 10 minutes
Equipment: toaster

Posts tagged: Ty Lawson
North Carolina point guard Ty Lawson, who has been battling a jammed right big toe since March 6, spent about 15 minutes with the media Tuesday. I believe the first 12 questions dealt with his toe. The last couple dealt with his toe. A couple of Ty's teammates were asked about his toe, including whether they were stunned by the amount of coverage Ty's toe is receiving.
So here's the toe update. Lawson said it's feeling better. He ices it around the clock. There was some pain and swelling after the win over LSU, but he thinks he'll be able to rest it and play against Gonzaga on Friday.
Added coach Roy Williams: "It's not going to go away and it's going to hurt the rest of the season until he can take some time off. … I don't think he's going to be 100 percent, but I'll take whatever I can get, especially if it's like Saturday" when Lawson scored 21 points in the second half.
Meanwhile, here's a couple of articles on GU's blueprint for sustaining success in the Washington Post and SI.com. And here's a feature by ESPN.com on Matt Bouldin's transformation.

England must bat for at least another three sessions to be sure of a series win in India, after their hosts declared in the final Test.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni closed India's innings on 326 for nine, and left England an awkward first hour of batting in a match the tourists need only draw to hang on for a 2-1 series success.
Their captain Alastair Cook and Nick Compton duly achieved the necessary initial crease occupation but, as has befit conditions in Nagpur from the outset, found few scoring opportunities on the way to 17 for none in 13 overs.
It was symptomatic of the extreme and turgid lack of pace in this pitch that, five minutes before lunch, Compton edged Ravichandran Ashwin for the first boundary of the day by either team.
Sixty runs per session has been the norm here, and on that basis England can perhaps hope to be 200 in front if they manage to bat until lunch tomorrow.
Only then could they start to be confident they might be out of range and impervious to a last-ditch series-levelling run chase from India.
Cook therefore had one more mission as he tries to overturn 27 years of history - since the last time England won a series here - in his first assignment as permanent Test captain.
It took him 27 balls to register his first run today - and when he pushed Ishant Sharma for that scampered single, having made just one run in the first innings, he had mustered two from 55 deliveries in the match.
Compton was in no hurry either, but England knew the wickets column was all-important.
India began this morning on 297 for eight, after losing four wickets in the last 14 overs last night.
Their cagey early tactics, in a match they need to progress, were questionable - and in the first half-hour, brought them just 10 runs, all in singles as Ashwin tried to farm the strike.
They almost doubled that rate, for the loss of Pragyan Ojha who played on in defence to give Monty Panesar his only wicket in 52 overs, before Dhoni called the last pair in.

LTC... Let's vent! Comments, concerns, suggestions? - page 2
I would like to know from the people who know best what you think about LTC. I feel like something needs to be done. For everyones sake. Please Comment on this issue .I am tying to build enough facts, information, and statistics... Read More
- 0Dec 24, '08 by gentlegiverIn LTC you have to deal with staffing shortages, low pay, hi census with every morbidity known to man. Add lack of support, backstabbing, lack of needed supplies and the attitude from management that you have no rights or personal life. It was stated that there is no nursing shortage for LPNs, I agree, schools are pushing them out the door in record numbers. LTC's are just not hiring them. The attitude I saw was why hire new nurses when you can work short and get the job done? CNA's are overworked and underpaid. Housekeeping leaves by 7PM so the nursing staff become plumbers and floor washers, the kitchen rarely supplies snacks for residents and the kitchen is locked when they leave. A few places I worked at would supply linen for 20 beds in 40 bed units at night and were angry that you wanted more sheets and blankets.
How to solve the problem?? Beats me, I gave up trying to move the mountian.
- 0Dec 24, '08 by Lovely_RNUntil society changes it's views regarding the aged there is nothing that can be done. We give lip service to respecting our elders but lets face it....we don't respect or value them. We treat the elderly and the disabled as a costly nuisance. Our capitalist society doesn't value anyone who is not able to work and "contribute" If we did then then LTC wouldn't be the way it is. I do my best with what I have been given to work with because I know that someday I will be in the same position.
- 0Dec 24, '08 by Lovely_RNI also think that CNA training is not intensive enough and the pay is too low. I was a CNA and an 8 week course that focuses on the technical aspects of basic patient care does not provide the type of education you need to deal with LTC residents. The same goes for nurses. My LPN program spent very little time focusing on geriatrics. We did one 8 week rotation in a nursing home during our fundamentals course and most of the time was spent learning basic patient care. Basically we went in and acted as CNAs during our first semester of the LPN program. I can't recall spending that much time being taught about how to deal with the disorders that affect the geriatric patient. Same thing for my RN bridge we aren't spending too much time focusing on how to take care of the geriatric population. The attitude that I get from my instructors is that LTC is the last place that you want to work for and the LPNs who have a position in a hospital are the real nurses. The rest of us are just "med nurses or pill pushers"
With that kind of mentality toward LTC is it a wonder that many nurses come out of school ignorant about the needs of the geriatric population?
- 0May 9, '09 by JLD930New LPN gard. First job. LTC. Alzheimers/Dementia/Insulin Dependent/Treatments/Two feeding Tubes. 39 Patients and I am the only nurse. Concerned about the quality of care I can provide along with saftey issues. Two days or orientation. All in wheelchairs/Fall Risks. Wanted to work in this area to make a difference. Seems I will be spending my day passing meds twice a shift and thats it. Thoughts????

Merle AbrahamsTalk0
this wiki
Merle Abrahams, (1947–2004) also known as The Infinity Killer, was a serial killer who lived in Sandy Shores and was obsessed with the number 8. Merle was the main suspect in the Infinity Murders, the murders of eight young men back in 1999.
Very little is known about Merle Abrahams' life. He resided in a home on Cholla Springs Avenue, Sandy Shores for much of his life, until he began developing a severely psychotic state of mind, and an apparent obsession with the number 8 and infinity (∞). He claimed that "8 is just infinity turned sideways", hence his nickname The Infinity Killer.
In 1999, Abrahams reached the peak of his psychosis when he murdered 8 male joggers and hid their bodies in the waters around the small islands at the northern most part of the map, in a murder spree which was nicknamed by authorities as "The Infinity Murders". Soon after, he was captured by the police and incarcerated in the Bolingbroke Penitentiary. At some point during his incarceration, his house in Sandy Shores was set on fire intentionally, possibly by one of his neighbors.
Abrahams later died in December 2004 at age 57, while awaiting trial for the Infinity Murders. He never confessed to have carried out the murders, but he admitted to having an irrational obsession with the number 8. The bodies of his murder victims were never found.
Abraham's home is located in Sandy Shores. It is partially destroyed and appears to have been in a fire prior to the events of GTA V. Inside his home, there are various messages left by him. Among them is a message scrawled on a wall inside his house which reads "There will be 8" and another one nearby reading '8 is just infinity stood up."
On a rock in Sandy Shores, there is a short nursery rhyme left by Abrahams which describes in detail the 8 people he murdered.
Inside the Bolingbroke Penitentiary, on the wall of a recreation yard, another phrase can be found written in black ink. It reads "Where water meets land and fire once spewed forth, there the infinite 8 shall stay until I return". This phrase was most likely written by Abrahams, saying where he dumped the 8 bodies.
If the player investigates the small islands north of Mount Chiliad, he will be able to find 5 bodies at the bottom of the seafloor, bound in burial wrappings and laid to rest. It has been proven that these are the bodies of the 8 dead joggers which were killed by Abrahams in 1999.
In the Yellow Jack Inn, bloody footsteps can be seen near the billiards table, and since the main image of billiards is an 8-Ball, it may be possible that Abrahams had something to do with the bloody footsteps.
- Due to the fact that Merle died in 2004, he probably died either not too long before or not too long after the events of Prologue.
- Abrahams is similar to Freddy Krueger, the antagonist of the Nightmare on Elm Street slasher film series, in three ways. Both Abrahams' and Krueger's homes were set on fire by neighbors, even though Krueger was in his at the time and Abrahams wasn't. Abrahams and Krueger died one year apart from each other, Krueger died in Freddy vs. Jason which was released and set in 2003, even though he winks at the audience before the film ends [1]. And most noticeable, Abrahams' nursery rhyme that he carved into a rock in Sandy Shores seems to be a reminiscence of Krueger's nursery rhyme from the films.

Tsunami was designed for one thing and one thing only, to break records. Having the smallest sleekest airframe ever built around a Rolls Royce Merlin engine, Tsunami can reach speeds well over 500 mph."What if you took a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine and built the smallest, lightest and sleekest airframe around it you could possibly dream up…?" - Jack Cox Sport Aviation December 1986
The idea behind Tsunami was to build such a small, light and streamline airframe that an essentially stock Rolls-Royce Merlin engine could be used to reach the desired performance levels – rather than a highly modified, high stressed and short lived engine used in the typical P-51 Mustang racer. Tsunami was to be used to race in the Unlimited class at the National Championship Air Races in Reno, NV and to break the 3 km world speed record for propeller driven aircraft of 528.33 mph set in 1989 by Lyle Shelton in his highly modified Grumman F8F Bearcat Rare Bear and the seaplane record of 440.681 mph set in 1934 by Italian Francesco Agello in a Macchi-Castoldi MC-72. An experienced pilot would race the airplane but owner John Sandberg would try for the absolute speed records. Although highly experienced, John only held a Private pilot's license and wanted the world's speed record to be held by a "non-professional" pilot.
John R. Sandberg
John R. Sandberg was an American entrepreneur, industrialist, air-racer and philanthropist. Born and raised in Minnesota, Sandberg was well known throughout the aviation industry for his support and generosity to museums and aviation organizations all over the world. He owned a precision machine shop and an aircraft engine overhaul shop that specialized in Pratt and Whitney radial engines along with Rolls-Royce V-12 power-plants.
In the early 1970's John owned a highly modified P-63 King Cobra named Tipsy Miss, which he had invested many hours and a lot of money trying to make it competitive at Reno with little success. Ready to move onto a new project, John had begun toying with an idea of building a completely original designed racer to compete with the highly modified WWII fighters. After talks for many years with Bruce Boland, a Lockheed Martin aerodynamicist and structures engineer and veteran designer of previous unlimited air racers, they reached the conclusion that an aerodynamically efficient design coupled with less than destructive power could produce a world-beating aircraft. These discussions gelled during the speed record runs of the Red Baron P-51 at Tonopah, NV, in August 1979. Red Baron pilot Steve Hinton had just captured a new record of 499 mph when John gave Bruce the go ahead.
"Design and build the airframe and I'll build and test the Merlin." – John R. Sandberg
After seven long years and Steve Hinton at the controls Tsunami took to the skies on August 17, 1986. It was the first time since 1935 when Howard Hughes built the H-1 that a private individual had designed, built and flew an amateur-built Unlimited racing aircraft.
Like many new concepts Tsunami was plagued with problems over its initial few years. Having competed in the Reno air races every year from its conception in 1986, it wasn't until 1990 that Tsunami would take the Gold. In 1991, Tsunami was faster than ever, with lap speeds just over 500 mph she was finally showing the world her true potential. However while ferrying the aircraft home on Wednesday September 25, 1991, Tsunami experienced a catastrophic mechanical failure while on approach to Pierre, SD and violently rolled over and dove into the bluff just short of the runway killing its owner John R. Sandberg instantly and destroying the aircraft.

Every shot you fire in Armageddon has consequences. Ever since Mars' main terraformer was destroyed by terrorists - an event you witness first-hand in the surprisingly low-key opening - mankind began filling every subterranean tunnel with knotted tangles of pipework, walkways, transport systems and shanty towns.
This is an abridged version of the full Red Faction Armageddon review which appears in issue 106 of Xbox World 360 magazine. The issue hits shelves on June 7 and offers exclusive screens, insight and info.
And now, each time you pull the trigger to try and hold back the ravenous aliens spilling into these newly civilized zones, you undo all that hard work piece-by-piece. This is the best physics playground imaginable. In ditching the sandbox surface warfare of Guerrilla and heading down into funnelled environments, Volition has built an enclosed world with unparalleled potential for destruction.
Armageddon plays like nothing else on Earth, Mars or anywhere else for that matter; mostly because the Magnet Gun changes everything you ever knew about third-person-shooters. Your main foes are quadrupedal aliens that leap about so fast the snap-to aiming system often struggles to keep track.
The best way to take them down, therefore, is to create your own subterranean jet-streams that launch walls of rubble at terrifying velocities across the environment and annihilate everything in their paths. The ability to propel object A to point B means that from the buildings on the ground to the signage on the walls, Armageddon's mile-wide caverns are equipped with 360 degrees of ammo just begging to be brought into play. Some natural furniture is ripe for flinging too: crystal formations and rock piles can also be used to bulldoze your otherworldly adversaries.
In the main campaign mode most of the other weapons are actually fairly redundant. The Plasma Beam is great for carving up structures in score-attack mode Ruin, but less useful in the story. Mostly, Armageddon is very much a one-gun game.
The overall level design falls slightly short of the mark in that respect. Whereas Guerrilla's missions often sent you into and through buildings, or at least ensured enemy soldiers would be taking refuge in them, Armageddon's structures are more commonly placed around the critical path.
There are exceptions to this rule - walkways over canyons are ripe for demolition as you cross and a few big rooms (one water pump facility in particular) have collapsible storeys that don't stand a chance when the fighting begins - but a lot of the action takes place on the sides of your route forward.
The playgrounds are still fun and house combat exhilarating enough to embarrass any rival game you care to name, but more key path uprooting would have been welcome. We unleashed hell in the busier areas to see just how it would cope with a few hundred things being pulled in different directions and all being tossed around at once. The engine swallowed up everything we threw at it without missing a beat, proving that Volition weren't constrained by technical barriers.
The ability to reverse all damage and repaint buildings with Darius' Nanoforge makes it even more galling. There are moments when you need to rebuild destroyed cover to hide from projectiles and also paint back buildings to restock on Magnet Gun ammo. So why aren't we forced to use this tool much more often?

Interesting Facts
- Natalie Cook will become the only athlete ever to compete in all five Olympic Games in beach volleyball since the introduction of the sport at the 1996 Games. She will also make history as the first Australian woman to compete at five Olympic Games.
- She made her Olympic debut alongside Kerri Pottharst as the pair brought home bronze from Atlanta. Four years later they became one of of the lasting images of the Sydney 2000 Games when they claimed gold on the sands of Bondi Beach. The consecutive medals remain the only medals Australia has won in the sport at the Games.
- Cook has won five Australian Championships with three different partners, including three consecutive titles with Pottharst (2001, 2002 and 2003), and one each with Nicole Sanderson (2004) and Tamsin Hinchley (2006).
- Cook and Sanderson won bronze at the 2003 World Championships and went on to finish fourth at the Athens Games despite Cook carrying a shoulder injury throughout the tournament. She linked up with Tamsin Hinchley in 2007 and went on to compete at the Beijing Games where the pair bowed out in the quarter-finals to the Brazilian pairing.
- Having split to test new combinations at the start of 2011, Cook and Hinchley reunited less than a year out from the Games. Despite not making the top 16 to gain automatic qualification for the Games, the pair won the Continental Cup in China to confirm Cook's record breaking effort. Off the court, Cook runs her own business 'Sandstorm' with a mission to build as many sandpits as she can around Australia and the world, in a bid to promote the sport of beach volleyball and provide opportunities for the youth to follow in her footsteps.

LAIKA and Focus Features Teaming Up for Three More Films
by Adam Chitwood Posted 77 days ago
I'm thrilled whenever LAIKA releases a new stop-motion animated feature film, and every time I feel like I want to pick it up and protect it from the kinds of cynical, bland, and uninspired animation films that seems to populate the marketplace. Through Coraline, ParaNorman, and now The Boxtrolls, the studio has continued to march to the beat of its own drum, crafting gorgeous and compassionate films that refuse to talk down to kids. Their movies don't make near as much money as the big releases from the likes of DreamWorks Animation or Pixar, and so it comes as extremely welcome news that LAIKA and Focus Features have entered a distribution deal for the animation studio's next three projects, ensuring that we have at least three more LAIKA movies to look forward to. More after the jump.

Latics boss Roberto Martinez has reportedly been impressed by the Hoops' top goalscorer and is keen for the move to go ahead before the transfer window closes at the start of next week.
The move is being put together by Scottish agent McKay, who believes a spell in the Premier League could send the valuation of the Australia international soaring.
He told the Daily Record: "Negotiations are at an early stage. Roberto is a big admirer of Scott and believes he would score a lot of goals in the Premier League.
"A loan might not sound like the ideal situation but if Scott goes down to England and makes his mark, his value will shoot through the roof."

Yoroiden Samurai Troopers, a 39-episode Shōnen anime produced by Sunrise in the late 1980s, centers its story around a group of young men who don transforming mystical armors. Sunrise designed the show to capitalise on the success of THE show about young men who don mystical armors — but with Sengoku flavor! The series found its way to the US in 1995 as Ronin Warriors, where it meshed well during the post-Power Rangers wave. The American dub remains one of the least Macekred Anime-to-American TV adaptations of its time in terms of cuts (with the exception of the name changes).In the first episode, the show's primary villain — Master Talpa, supreme lord of the demonic Underworld, who spends most of the First Arc as a floating demonic mask (with an inexplicable-yet-menacing Welsh accent in the American dub) — enters the mortal world and brings along a horde of demonic henchmen to help him take over Tokyo. Only a handful of people escape the flood of Talpa's henchmen into the city, notably Yuli (a young boy whose parents end up captured during Talpa's invasion) and Mia Koji (a young student-teacher and researcher of ancient Japanese legends and antiquities).Also witness to this event: five athletic young heroes in colorful armor, one of whom (Ryo) had wandered into the city with an enormous white tiger by his side minutes before Talpa's arrival. When Mia and Yuli find themselves threatened by soldiers of Talpa's Dynasty, Ryo and the other heroes step in to rescue them. Sensing a threat to his rule, Talpa casts the young heroes to the four winds with his supernatural powers — which leaves Mia and Yuli left with nothing to do but find and reunite the Ronin Warriors so they can prevent The End of the World as We Know It. The young warriors have more than just Talpa and his low-level goons to worry about, though: he also has four powerful warlords in his employ, who each have their own armor and the power to unleash unspeakable horrors upon the world. (Of course, the heroes have Yuli on their side, so things pretty much even out.)After the warriors reunite, they venture into Talpa's demonic stronghold and discover the full extent of their powers — as well as the origins of their armors and the secret they share with the Dynasty Warlords and Talpa himself: long before Talpa came to conquer Tokyo in modern times, a mystic known as The Ancient One defeated Talpa in battle. Though the mystic sent Talpa's soul to the underworld, the demonic armor he wore remained in the mortal world. To prevent Talpa from returning to the mortal realm, The Ancient One melted down Talpa's armor and remade it into nine separate armors. Five of these armors found their way to the Ronin Warriors, while the other four found their way to Talpa's Warlords. Even after discovering the truth, the Warriors press on into battle, and Ryo eventually defeats Talpa after the power of all five Ronin Warriors combine to give Ryo a new, far more powerful suit of armor.Following Talpa's defeat, several new foes show up to challenge Ryo and his newfound Inferno armor while Ryo learns how to control its immeasurable power, but these villains end up as little more than a distraction from the true threat: Talpa (who still lives on in the Underworld) and his corrupted servant Lady Kayura (the last member of the line of Ancients and a force more powerful than even the Inferno Armor). Rather than wait for Talpa to invade the mortal world again, the Warriors venture into the underworld to put a stop to Talpa's schemes once and for all.Following the end of the series, Sunrise continued the story with the follow-up OV As "Gaiden", "Kikoutei Densetsu" ("The Legend of the Solar Armor"), and "Message", each of which feature their own distinct storyline and villains.With its cheesy-yet-enjoyable dub, lack of content cuts, and wide exposure due to syndication (and Toonami), Ronin Warriors helped pave the way for the mid-to-late 1990s anime boom to come. After fan demand became too loud to ignore, Bandai released the entire show on special double-sided DVDs: one side of the disc contained episodes of Ronin Warriors, while the other contained subtitled and uncut episodes of the original Yoroiden Samurai Troopers. After finishing the series release, Bandai released the OVAs (with a dub to boot), then eventually released both the series and the OVAs together in a huge collector's set. The individual DVD releases also had a special "flip" cover: one side has a Ronin Warriors version of the cover, while the other side had the Yoroiden Samurai Troopers version. While both sides shared similar layouts, the back-cover text and the logos stayed in line with each specific version of the show (right down to episode titles and character names). These releases have since fallen out of print. The OVA and the original japanese version of the TV series were rescued by Discotek Media, though they still have issues to sort out before they can release the english version.
Ronin Warriors contains examples of the following tropes:

In a recent speech, Dan Rather, once one of the few voices trusted to moderate our in-home information supply, called the current state of the news business "upside down and backwards." Inspired by Occupy Wall Street, Rather issued a call to get back to proper journalism, and he suggested that the job would fall to independent journalists.
(Hat tip to David Sirota)
Dan Rather via Reader Supported News:
Of course freedom of the press and of speech both come with pitfalls. People can peddle opinions as if they were facts. Those armed with the big, expensive megaphones drown out those blowing whistles.
But now, we see our fellow citizens taking to the streets. And, that my friends, is our cue to get back to work. As the People of our nation begin rising up, they expect the business of news to be about inquiry and accountability.
And, luckily for us, we can still do that ... but it may not be within the confines of big corporate media. As you know, we are living in an age when big money owns everything ... including the news.
