Claridge's, London
Claridge's hotel is a 203-room Victorian classic with a number of high-profile collaborations under its belt. Most recently, it's been cozying up to fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg, who in June 2010 enlivened five of the hotel's rooms and suites with her signature bold florals and animal prints. Previously, NYC über-decorator Thierry Despont created the Deco foyer with its giant Murano glass Medusa head chandelier; London über-decorator David Collins did the rock-and-fashion–hangout cocktail bar with its adjunct Macanudo Fumoir; and the Queen's nephew, David Linley, designed two suites (one Art Deco; one traditional late 19th-century). The other rooms are Mae West meets Louis XV, with Hollywood brocades and straight-up English country chintz, or wood-paneled-and-tartan Scottish castle, their formality softened by a faint but distinct aura of decadence. There's also Gordon Ramsay restaurant, a La Prairie spa-ette, and a ton of extra services on request—because hip as it may be (Kate Moss celebrated her 30th birthday here), Claridge's remains one of this city's exemplary grand hotels.
What to pack: In honor of DVF, we suggest a tailored suit from her latest collection—you'll fit right in with London's City types, too.

Meet / OW event planning and results from USA Swimming events.
Aquasol 5:45 - 7:20pm Cooler, about 88 today. Warm(750) 150FR, 200IM Drill, 50FR K, 50BK, 50BR K, 50FR, 50Fly K, 50BR, 50BK K, 50 fly 75's 5 off 1:10 early set (750/1500) 10x75FR on 1:05 (:54 - 1:00) This set got painful. transitions set (650/2150) 12x50 Fly/BK, BK/BR, BR/FR on 1:00 50 ez Drills (1050/3200) 20x50 Odds single arm rt/25, lt/25. Evens swim on 1:00 50ez 50 cool Tried the Pure Sport Recovery for a pre-workout and got the lead/heavy feeling through the first 2 sets, then I felt much better going into the drill set. As soon as I'm able Im going back on G2 workout or Cytomax for my pre-load. Pure Sport may be OK for Mr Phelps (like he really uses it) but for this ol' fish, I'll use whatever works, as long as its drug-free. The Sonora USA meet is in about 2-3 weeks, coach wants me to max out on the events which I think is 6 or 8, she said don't worry about times or messing up, but I would like to better my 50, 100 FR and 100Im times. This meet will be the first time I will do 200IM and 100BK SCY.
The full name is "Sierra Nevada Swimming Long Course Last Chance Qualifier July 9 - 11, 2010" That is, Last chance for J.O.'s. It was my first ever LCM meet and although I had misgivings and doubts, I had a lot of support and adoration from the parents, even the kids were cool, especially when standing on the blocks, they turn to each other and nod or acknowledge. I was surprised when my competitors to my left and right after the 100m Back, each offered a handshake...So the experience was great, excellent sportsmanship and never felt so part of event before. Masters meets in contrast tend to be cold and indifferent. But then, that's not to fair to the teams that work hard to put the Masters events on, I am usually alone with no team-mates to engage with. The reason I joined USA swimming, besides getting my arm twisted by the coaches, is that the meets are very close to home, the average distant to a Masters meet in Northern California is about 120 miles, one way. Also my coach can now analysis my race and provide feedback. (Even the parents were giving feedback!) So all this for just 2 events on the second day of a typical 3 day meet. I don't have official times, LCM 50M Free 31 100m Back 1:33 My goggles slipped off in the 50m FR, after the dive... they were about halfway off my face and making it hard to breath...All I could see was a blurry black line and only knew to touch when the black line stopped! Coach said my first 50 of the 100m was "beautiful" but the wall on the start was really slippery and I ended up just letting go of the bar and pushing off, I also missed the turn, feet just touched the wall and I had to build up speed from nothing, which burned me out before I could finish. Got a lot of experience out of this race. Being the only Master at this event was great, as Im sure most of the other Masters from other teams were at Santa Cruz for the Pacific LCM Championship...Wish I could have gone, but Santa Cruz is 3.5 hours away and its too expensive for this poor-boy ! Aquasol kids did great, but this was more of a normal meet, where it wasn't too important for them as they start taper next week for Junior Olympics

Everyday Extension
"Mom, I want to stay home today! But I want to eat breakfast here. I don't want to wear this shirt!" These are common words spoken from my son during our weekday mornings.
Mornings can be stressful on occasion in our household. My four-year-old son isn't always cheerful in the morning. My daughter might wake up earlier or later than normal throwing a curveball into our routine. Whatever the scenario may be the morning dynamics can create the start of a hectic morning.
According to eXtension.org, some simple morning routines may help you start the morning with a smile.
The more you and your child can do the night before, the less you have to do in the morning. Some things to do ahead of time include:
• Make lunches. While cooking dinner or cleaning up the kitchen, pack lunch boxes with water bottles, fruit, and other no-spoil food.
• Pack backpacks. Look over any forms that were sent home. Have your child pack his backpack and place it in a designated spot (a "launching pad") by the door. If he participates in any special activities (for example, wrestling, 4-H, etc.) this is a perfect time to pack items for those activities too.
• Set out school clothes. Have your child pick out her clothes for the next day—all the way from hair bows to shoes. She can set them out on a table or the floor just as she will wear them in the morning.
• Create a morning routine with enough time in it to allow your child to complete his tasks at his own pace. Your preschooler is learning to do things on his own, so he will likely be a bit slower than if you are doing everything for him. Give yourself more time as well by getting up early enough to have some time alone in the morning for a cup of coffee and a shower. If you start your day on the right foot, your child is more likely to do so too.
Preschoolers can only remember small bits of information at a time. So it may be hard for your child to remember the whole list of tasks she has to do before going to school. A morning routine chart created with pictures or drawings can help her know what task to complete next.
Preschoolers are easily distracted. Keep favorite toys and books put away in the morning. Television can also draw children away from what they need to do to get ready. Keep it turned off on mornings when getting out on time is important.
A hassle free morning begins with a great night's sleep. Use an age-appropriate bedtime for your child. Create a bedtime routine that helps him get to bed on time. It's just as important to be sure to give yourself enough sleep. If you don't get enough sleep, the morning routine will be more difficult for everyone.
Routines come with benefits.
They make it easier to take care of important daily tasks, like getting to school and work on time. Children whose families follow a daily routine may be healthier, better behaved and even perform better in school. With all that said, it is important to allow children some routine-free days on the weekends or holidays.Adults and children alike sometimes need a morning to just lounge around and enjoy time together.

Cloning Intensifies Animal Suffering
Recent articles revealing that cloned meat has entered the UK food supply have sparked a debate concerning the potential health risks of eating flesh from cloned animals; however, one thing about which there can be no debate is that cloning will cause animals extreme suffering.
Grown inside artificially inseminated surrogate mothers, cloned animals are genetic replicas of other animals. The process of insemination is known to be so stressful that UK law requires that a general or epidural anaesthetic be administered prior to the transfer of cattle embryos.… Read more.

The best for sunday lunch in Paris
- p
- pscurfield Sep 15, 2009 11:42 AM
- 19
- Follow
I am looking for lunch on a sunday in October. I would like the best experience possible and am not that concerned about price, more about quality.
Any suggestions?
re: pscurfield
l will be going in late October, and am using a french friend for the process. For the week, two weeks in advance is necessary, not more, for the weekend, four is better.
Call, reconfirm, and hope they don't get a better offer as they will toss you. Friends l went with last year saw it happen; Robert Parker came with a bunch of people last minute and forced others out in essence. With all the difficulty, it is worth it to give it a shot.0 -
re: souphie
I will be VERY nice. Je regarde pour une table pour quatre personne la Dimanche le 25 de Octobre... :)
Le Cinq, l'Ami Louis if you're appreciative of high quality ingredients (some people claim for example that the chicken at l'Ami Louis has nothing special -- I think it's a case of having insufficiently educated or sensitive palate), La Grande Cascade, Christophe (but it's a sad place). Gagnaire is open on sundays but only for dinner.
re: beaulieu
I third La Grande Cascade, as we Lunched there this past Sunday.
Things stared out rather badly, as it was a bit windy, and we were seated in the direct wind.
We felt the breeze immediately, and requested another table (Big conference) and we were moved to a lovely sheltered spot.
We were presented with the menus and the cheapest Lunch was (I think) 130E
On a very small piece of paper, almost hidden on the table, was a menu with no price.
I remember seeing a fixed price 75E mentioned.
It looked good, so we decided to order from it.
The server told us immediately that only Business people order from this menu.
When we explained that we like the dishes mentioned he said, and I kid you not "It is not very good, you won't like it".
To which I replied, "You mean that you serve bad food to Business People?"
He took our order, disappeared, and we thankfully never saw him again.
Our next server was a delight.
They brought the lightest of Codfish Balls
followed by fois Gras with an Apple preserve
he- A lightly frothed Crab Ravioli Soup
me- Very large stuffed Morels excellent dish
Mains he-Lamb Tenderloin atop a Canneloni of Cabbage stuffed with Couscous
me-beautifully presented slices of Lamb Breast with String beans and Mash
The Dessert was a triumph.
We are not huge dessert eaters, but the Plate of Pistachio and Strawberry treats was a thing of beauty.
Everything Pink and Green.
A Pistachio Mousse with a Strawberry topping.
A Strawberry Macaron with a Pistachio Topping.
We demolished our plates.
The servers could not have been nicer or more attentive.
One actually escorted us to the Taxi.
It was a long delightful Sunday afternoon, despite the sour start.
And all for this for 75E0-
re: Delucacheesemonger
The menu was posted just before the entrance in the walkway.
I had heard about it recently as well but can't recall where.0 -
re: Delucacheesemonger
DCM, the way one is supposed to know is by using that thing called an Internet Browser and also Adobe Acrobat Reader. At grandecascade.com you get the menus including that lunch menu that is actually advertised at 65e without drinks, 85 with wine pairing. When are we going?
By the way, their website is better, but I have some pictures as well -- http://picasaweb.google.fr/ZeJulot/La...
re: souphie
Perhaps it was only 65E
As I have said there was no price on the small almost hidden menu.
A bargain for the quality.0 -
re: souphie
Hey HH, used a website of theirs with different results than the real one. May have been older, had full wine list, and three menus, least expensive at 130€. , another one had no wine list but the 65€ menu.Today found other. Glad to go at your leisure.
0 -
re: souphie
I might go soon (we'll have to talk about it, btw), so I checked the menus earlier this week.
I'm not necessarily interested by this one, but the "menu du marché" is actually served at lunch AND dinner (which probably makes it a even better bargain!). However, they mention that it's only offered to "individual reservations". I'm still puzzled by the way it's meant to be understood.0

Karl Lagerfeld to Design Suites at Hotel de Crillon
Q&A: Rei Kawakubo
Turns out, Rei Kawakubo, is a roll-up-her-sleeves kind of gal. That doesn't mean she sits readily for an interview, preferring to answer questions via e-mail and, at least in the case of her recent exchange with WWD in which she discussed Dover Street Market and the golden renovation of Comme des Garçons' New York flagship, in bold red caps.
Possible Conversations: Karl Lagerfeld and Jessica Chastain
Any journalist who's worked a red carpet or a press junket knows that there is such a thing as a stupid question -- but sometimes it's your job to ask.
Breast Behavior at Nina Ricci
Fashion show attendees may be jaded about antifur campaigners bursting onto the catwalk, but they got an eyeful this season when two topless Femen protestors briefly interrupted the Nina Ricci show in Paris.
Flip Your Lid: Anna Piaggi
On Via Bagutta, a dark, narrow Milanese street tucked safely away from traffic, visitors will find an unexpected splash of color at the side entrance to Palazzo Morando, which is hosting a tribute to the late Italian fashion editor Anna Piaggi through Nov. 30.
Give Them A Hand: London's Man-Made Designs
Paint, scissors, pencils.
London was awash with illustrations and prints made the old-fashioned way--with bare hands and no computer keyboards--on and off the spring runways.
Designers including Matthew Williamson, Giles Deacon and Claire Barrow all opted for bold, naïve and hand-drawn prints, while Smythson, Claridge's and Roland Mouret hosted shows featuring freshly minted and vintage illustrations.
Williamson's collection was full of hand-drawn prints, a universe away from his usual digital ones. There were botanical motifs, hand-drawn daisies and dragonflies on loose, languid silhouettes while big, cartoonish flowers blossomed over floor-sweeping tunics and sheer blouses.
"I wanted the prints to look like a five-year-old girl had done them, and I wanted to take a different trajectory, to explore prints in a much more organic way, focusing on man-made rather than machine," Williamson said, adding that the hand doodling and graffiti was inspired by the late Keith Haring.
"Digital prints have been so popular in the last few seasons, and it really reflects where we are now in terms of technology: We are so heavily reliant on it. Switching off the computer and returning to hand-drawn techniques added a new dimension. The imperfect patterns gave the collection a more carefree, spontaneous spirit."
Deacon's show, a spiky take on springtime, featured bold, slightly smudgy gap-toothed ladies' mouth prints, hand-painted with acrylics by the artist Donald Robertson, who is head of creative development at cosmetics brand Bobbi Brown. Deacon said he discovered Robertson's work on Instagram.
"At the time, I had no idea who he was, but I loved his hand," said Deacon. "And I had wanted to do lips, but in a different way." He said he could easily return to handmade designs in the future. "I don't think anyone wants to see any more mental digital repeats anytime soon."
Off the runway, leather accessories and stationery brand Smythson tapped British illustrator and filmmaker Quentin Jones to create a series of collages of famous fans of the Panama Diary. The images are of a disparate bunch--from Sigmund Freud to Dita Von Teese, Erdem Moralioglu to Katharine Hepburn--and each features a letter of the alphabet that spells out Smythson.
"It's paint, it's paper, it's not digital or slick or computerized," said Rory O'Hanlon, the brand's design director. "The images are playful, and we're sharing what Smythson has been, what it is, and what it will be."
The exhibition is touring Smythson stores worldwide.
Mouret, meanwhile, teamed with Janina Joffe, founder of the online fashion illustration gallery East of Mayfair, to showcase rare and previously unseen drawings by the late fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez.
The show, at Mouret's Mayfair townhouse, was meant to mark the 70th anniversary of Lopez's birth.
"When I was young, Antonio was one of the people who made you dream about fashion," Mouret said of the bold, Pop Art-y works on show.
At the Mayfair Hotel, Claridge's artist-in-residence David Downton unveiled his "Midnight at Noon" exhibition, and talked about the intimate overlap between drawing and life. During his two-year residency, Downton has hand-drawn hotel guests including Diane von Furstenberg, Joan Collins, Alber Elbaz, Christian Louboutin and Erin O'Connor.
Of the latter, he said: "She looks like a drawing in all her proportions, and everything I try to do on paper she is in life--so she makes me look good."
With contributions from Stephanie Hirschmiller
Franco File: Paying Tribute to Franco Moschino
"Fun. Happy. Playful. I certainly didn't want a funeral."
So said Moschino creative director Rossella Jardini of the spring show, a celebration of the late designer and the brand's 30th anniversary.

The chldren of Israel committed seven deadly sins that prevented them from entering the Promised Land and condmned them to have to wander in the wilderness for 40 years. What are these seven sins, which still plague humans today and will keep us from entering the Promised Land of YHVH's eternal kingdom?

Exploring the Concept of Atonement as It Relates to the Tabernacle and Salvation
This is a lengthy article that explores the concept of the blood atonement as it relates to the salvation of the sinner. The idea of atonement for sin is rooted in the Torah and is not simply a New Testament concept. Redemption through atonement is the foundation of the gospel message. Understanding this will strengthen your faith in the message of Yeshua's atoning death on the cross.
In Numbers 31:50 we read, "We have therefore brought an oblation for YHVH, what every man has gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before YHVH." In a similar passage in Exodus 30:15–16, we read, "The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give an offering unto YHVH, to make an atonement for your souls. And you shall take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before YHVH, to make an atonement for your souls" (emphasis added). The question before us is this: Do these passages in the Torah imply that YHVH grants man absolution based something other than the shedding of blood, and by logical extension, does this call into question our redemption from sin through our faith in Yeshua the Messiah's blood atonement?
The concept of atonement can be a confusing one. Some in rabbinic Jewish circles teach that the Torah (i.e., the first five books of the Bible) does not require the shedding of blood for atonement of one's sin to occur. According to the above Scripture, this could appear to be the case. Before briefly discussing the subject of atonement, let us not forget the stern warnings of the Apostle Peter when he warned end-time Saints against false teachers who would lure people away from the simple truth of the gospel:
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingers not, and their damnation slumbers not…. But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; and shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceiving while they feast with you; having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children, which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; but was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet. These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Yeshua Messiah, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. (2 Peter 2)
In the Testimony of Yeshua (New Testament), there is no question that when the concept of atonement (i.e., to make ransom for or to cover over man's sins) is presented it is Continue reading
What Is Sin and How to Overcome It
1 John 3:4, Sin is the transgression of the Torah. For a list and discussion the use of the word sin in the Testimony of Yeshua along with all of its synonyms, see The Companion Bible (appendix 128).
Why must we overcome sin?The Scriptures teach us to be overcomers (Rom 12:21; 1 John 2:13–14; 5:4). We must overcome the world, the flesh and the devil (Jas 3:15). Yeshua admonished each of the seven Messianic assemblies to be overcomers (Rev 2:7, 11, 17, 26; 3:5, 12, 21; see also Matt 24:13). For those who overcome, there will be great rewards—a spiritual inheritance; they will be sons of Elohim (Rev 21:7).
The Greek word for overcome is nikao (Strong's G3528) meaning "to conquer, to get the victory, prevail." Nikao is where the word nike comes from.
What is Sin?
- Sin is the anything that violates the Torah-instructions or laws of Elohim (1 John 3:4).
- Sin is unrighteousness (1 John 5:17; YHVH's Torah commands define what righteousness is, Ps 119:172).
- Sin is not believing in Yeshua, who is the Torah-Word of Elohim incarnate (John 3:18; 16:9).
- Sin is failing to do (or not to do) that we which we should be do (or not do)—i.e., a sin of omission (Jas 4:17).
- Sin is putting me-first (my desires, impulses), not YHVH first (his will) in our lives. It is humanism. It is following the lie of the devil: man can have it his way regardless of what YHVH's Word says, and not suffer any consequences for it. This is the big lie from the serpent in the Garden.
- Sin is a direct challenge to YHVH's authority in our lives. It is arrogance and self exaltation against YHVH's will. It involves lack of belief in his Word. It is putting his will above his Word.
How to do we overcome sin?
- Know the biblical definition of sin.
Insights on the Feast of Unleavened Bread
The Feast of Unleavened Bread Is a Commemorative Ritual
Passover going into the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread is the birthday of the nation of Israel. In ancient times, universal Israel came together in Jerusalem to celebrate this event. Today, redeemed Israelites come together to celebrate these divine appointment sacred convocations.
Abstaining from leavened bread for seven days is symbolic of Elohim's people separating themselves from sin and turning towards a holy relationship with him.
Removing leavening from our homes is a symbolic activity just like taking communion, being baptized for the remission of sins, or building a sukkah during the Feast of Tabernacles. As humans, we need symbolic commemorative occasions for several reasons. They give us a sense of history by helping us to understand the past, so that we can move forward into the future knowing who we are and where we've come from. They give us guidance so that we'll learn from the lessons of history, both the good and bad ones. Our culture is full of symbolic rituals and commemorative acts and markers (Christmas, Easter, birthdays, anniversaries, Independence Day, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, statues, historical markers, monuments, museums, heritage sites, etc.). Likewise, Biblical commemorative rituals help us in several ways.
- They help us to both recall and commemorate past and future events.
- They help us to understand who we are by recalling where we've come from which in turn helps us to understand where we're going.
- They can be something physical that helps us to wrap our minds around difficult-to-understand spiritual principle. Continue reading
New Video: Out With Leaven For the Feast of Unleavened Bread
What is leaven? Why does YHVH command his people to deleaven their homes for Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread? What are the important spiritual lessons to be learned from this physical exercise? How will this help you in your walk as a follower of Yeshua the Messiah? This video answers these questions and more.
Still a Death Penalty for Sin in the "Dispensation of Grace" Era?
Acts 5:1–11, The deaths of Ananias and Sapphira. Why did YHVH kill them? It is because they violated the Torah laws regarding the handling of devoted things. (See notes at Lev 27:28–29.)
It's interesting to note that YHVH struck Ananias and Sapphira dead after the cross in, what many Christians call, the dispensation of grace era when, in their minds, sin doesn't carry the same severe penalty us under "old covenant," law of Moses era.
What we learn from this is that YHVH still views sin as sin, and the wages of sin is still death. This has never changed before or after the cross of Yeshua. Just because one isn't struck dead immediately upon having sinned doesn't mean one hasn't incurred the death penalty. That death penalty is only waived when one repents of their sin and asks for YHVH's forgiveness through faith in Yeshua whose death paid the death penalty price for our sins.
Now let's see what the Torah has to say about the sin Ananias and Sapphira committed.
Leviticus 27:28–29, devote … devoted thing. Heb. charam and cherem meaning "a Continue reading
What's the Big Deal with the Contamination of Sin?
Leviticus 12–13
Some Hebrew Terms Relating to This Passage:
- tzaraas: a skin disease (improperly translated as "leprosy" in some Bibles). This Hebrew word means "to be struck with leprosy (BDB)" or "to smite heavily, to strike, or scourged of Elohim" since the leprosy was viewed as a special divine infliction (Wilson's Old Testament Word Studies, pp. 248–249) against such sins as jealousy (cf. Miriam, anger, lack of full compliance with Elohim's commands (cf. King Uzziah), and covetousness (cf. Gehazi, TWOT, p. 777).
- niddah: someone who is separated or menstruous
- tumah: spiritual impurity
- metzora: one with a skin disease; a contraction of the Hebrew word motzi and ra meaning "one who speaks slander"
Leviticus 12 and 13 deal with the subject of human contamination and delineates what could seem to be a lot of irrelevant and archaic, if not arcane, regulations relating to childbirth and skin diseases.
Why is YHVH so concerned about "human contamination"? What is the larger picture here to help us gain understanding into the Father's intent and heart behind these Torah-laws? Continue reading

Are there going to be any uncensored episodes or do we have to wait till the dvds?
April 20th, 2011 at 3:57 am
I think I already saw a website with uncensored …but not sure
April 20th, 2011 at 4:11 am
just wait for them to come out…
April 20th, 2011 at 4:17 am
i could answer that question but since the answer is so easily found im not.
April 20th, 2011 at 4:30 am
hint:- check nyaa.eu
hint- they don't even need to leave the site
April 20th, 2011 at 4:36 am
@ EVERYONE: the uncensored versions of these episodes are only available through the official websites webrip AND blu-ray release
April 20th, 2011 at 5:51 am
April 20th, 2011 at 6:04 am
Uncensored for ep 1 is already released and can be found here on the seikon ep 1 post or on subdesu.org. Learn to search.
April 20th, 2011 at 6:33 am
hahaha this freaking russian kid just realized that his sucking technique had been wrong all this time… It took him until episode 2 of Season 2 to find that out. LOL !!
April 20th, 2011 at 7:27 am
She is a he that looks & sounds like a she. Someone has bizarre fantasies lol
April 20th, 2011 at 7:45 am
where does 1 go to find the webrip? Yes I searched lol I know the uncensored version can come out the next day or following week but where on the web do I find the webrip. So I can attach subs to it myself for a faster watch.
on the web
April 20th, 2011 at 8:57 am
i wonder when uncensored version come out its kinda waste this way :P
April 20th, 2011 at 10:04 am
Thank you koga and thxs [SubDesu] DC FTW!.
April 20th, 2011 at 12:02 pm
Uncencored version is already out, for episode 1
April 20th, 2011 at 12:09 pm
it's easy to say the web but I think it's easier to say where on the web lol
April 20th, 2011 at 12:14 pm
I want to know where their raw source is. I said I searched (clearly stated above) so since I couldn't find it I asked. I'm talking about the director's cut. The subbers have to get it from somewhere before subbing it themselves. Haste Raws gave the torrent to the raw but where was his source for it?. That's what I'm asking.
April 20th, 2011 at 12:18 pm
How did they obtain the Director's Cut in the 1st place & from where? Director's Cut that came out was way too low in quality to be a dvdrip I'm assuming. So where was the original source? You don't have to post it on here but on my personal page.
April 20th, 2011 at 12:26 pm
Doki Releases their subs off the dvdrips for the series. Subdesu releases of the raw provided by the torrent. But how does 1 obtain the raw before it's turned into a torrent if it wasn't in dvd format. Is their special tv station & then they just record it & later air it out?. I bet a lot of people are asking themselves the same question?. But if you don't actually know it's understandable.
Reasonable and Good Question
April 20th, 2011 at 4:13 pm
@Violatedjaded: Haste-Raws have connections with aliens that came back from the future and gave haste-Raws he webrip ==" Haste-Raws ripped the video from one of several streaming sites that offered the DC after it was ripped from the official website, the DVD would be released till later this month as far as I know, I'm working on getting better quality webrips, and I don't think you searched bc it was easy for me to find many sites that streamed the DC version
April 20th, 2011 at 4:22 pm
About the Blu-ray/DVD release, the first volume will be released on July 6, 2011
April 20th, 2011 at 4:29 pm
I did the whole google, yahoo, ask sites & then went to the qwaser site but I couldn't locate the stream. It's easy for someone who knows what exactly they are looking for but I typed in Seikon no Qwaser Director's Cut and got nowhere. Only thing I got was people who subbed the series, season 1, or sites that host the torrent or DL for the series. Besides that I didn't see any direct site that had the raw release webstream/rip or w.e. Instead of doing all that I decided be smarter & just ask; which I did. I wasn't aware it was that hard for anyone just to say "Here is the link ____________" lol Instead I get results of people explaining how easy it is to get it followed by a whole lot of nothing. If I give you a La Crosse stick; would you automatically know the rules & how to play the game. Isn't it better if someone just tells/teaches you. So I'm asking again you can give me at least 1 link on my page and I would be grateful. I'm not an Otaku but I really like anime, but I don't spend my life on the web looking up for everything anime & knowing all the shortcuts. You have to break these things down to me. I want to know the main source or stream site; which holds these unreleased anime before they are aired. I explained myself too many times to keep asking the same question lol "Just give me the site" If you can't, not really much of a reason to reply is there. Thank You anyway even though your statement really didn't help much at all. I still appreciate it =D
April 20th, 2011 at 4:40 pm
There's 2 shows I know where people ask for Life Line's. I think it's called Who Want's To Be a Millionaire & the other one is of some guy who picks up people in a cab and ask them random questions for money. You don't see the people they ask for a Life Line to say "you should know the answer is easy" lol You would choke that person lol If it was I wouldn't be asking lol Simple Question with a simple answer lol
April 20th, 2011 at 4:53 pm
Uncensored episodes will be released a week after the episode has been released.
Basically, you will always be 1 episode behind those who watch it censored.
Which is pointless to do.
April 20th, 2011 at 5:01 pm
So you know I'm not referring to ep 1 or 2 but the entire series raw DC before it's gradually aired out in a course of time & converted to a torrent or DL. I'm just trying to get a hold of the site that has it before everything else comes out(torrents & DL). You know how Neo found The KFC GUY who controlled the entire Matrix. I want to know that source for it all. Sometimes you get lucky and find a site that has all the uncut versions of every series before they are aired. Took me ages to find this site before it became big. I use to DL for over a year & upload files to a divx site before I decided to become a member. Then I quit uploading because it became time consuming converting files to avi & loading them. So I turned to DL & watching instead. So please if it's not a link I might just blow what you say off by skimming through it; while looking through for a link.
April 20th, 2011 at 5:04 pm
Do you read or do you like to skim. Apparently you skim. WE went through this countless times. I even stated I know it's a week after. I asked for the site that streamed it first before it's released. You may need to grab your reading glasses lol
April 20th, 2011 at 5:12 pm
I asked that simple question because my friend translates perfectly on top of him also being a very fast typist & web designer; which he can style it if I asked for personal use. I won't need to wait for a subber if I can just give him the site; which I've been asking for. It's not hard to rip a vid off a site. You can even do it using RealPlayer or any other program. I just want the source geesh.
April 20th, 2011 at 5:15 pm
I'm going to assume if you can't give me a link you personally don't know. Anything else you might say is irrelevant & passive lol
April 20th, 2011 at 5:51 pm
You just need to type the name and episode in Japanese, geez
April 20th, 2011 at 5:54 pm
lmao I give up on you lol Apparently you know nothing of what I'm trying to get at. Plus I see no link, so your statement doesn't make any sense geesh lol
April 20th, 2011 at 5:56 pm
Some people are so god damn determined to get their cartoon boobies, aren't they?
April 20th, 2011 at 5:59 pm
I want you to do this. Read everything I said from the top of the page to the bottom of the page. "Understand what I'm asking" If you can't, just say you can't. Repeating something that has nothing to do with what I'm asking is like having egg on your face lol
April 20th, 2011 at 6:04 pm
It's not that I'm determined; It's that I had to ask the same question over while replying to people stating something so far irrelevant from what I asked. If 1 person had the common sense and decency they would of just gave me a link to work with and be on their merry way. I can't watch any series be it gore or anything and the whole screen is just black or white with censorship. It's like buying a movie and someone walks at the bottom of the screen or stands in the middle of it(bootleg/ripoff). Who wants to really watch that; it's not enjoyable.
April 20th, 2011 at 6:08 pm
Godbless everyone who is going through that ordeal with the tsunami, but when the map was on each anime series everyone has to admit it took away from the quality of what you were watching. That's just how I feel with the censorship. If they just like the other anime and blackened out the nipples or crotch shots I'll be fine but they did about half the screen.
April 20th, 2011 at 6:35 pm
Well this is just something random from me, but even if the person who is asking for the DC link gets it, he would still have to wait a week to rip it off that site. You think they've left the eps floating around online when they know people like him is around to rip it and make their hard work useless? No sir, that kind of stuff happens once in a while. lol
April 20th, 2011 at 6:50 pm
Passion of Christ I present you "Jesus the Anime" lol
Bet a lot of you didn't see this coming lol Stumbled across while on Japanator. I think I was given a sign lol Steer away from thy search lol
April 20th, 2011 at 6:52 pm
Ok let's see, Seikon no Qwaser 2 aired 18-19? So the uncensored version (DC) becomes available on Biglobe's website a week later. People that I assume have access to the video, since you have to pay for the DC version from the site, rip it from the site and post it on other Japanese sites, Haste-Raws go to one of those other sites and rip/download the Raw and release it via torrent. So the source is one of those various Japanese video streaming site. So stop this whole nonsense and later when I'm home I'll freaking send you a link to one of those damn sites
Site note: We (Subdesu) did not use Haste-Raws' Raw, we went out and combed the web for it, just like we did for "The Epic of Zektbach OVA" and "Yozakura Quartet ~Hoshi no Umi~ 02 OVA"
April 20th, 2011 at 6:59 pm
lmfao I'm cool with waiting a week as I stated idk how many times. I'm just wondering where the main source is. Which I'm not getting into anymore lol It's like talking to Peter Griffin.
April 20th, 2011 at 7:02 pm
THANK YOU. That's what I've been asking for from the very beginning. It's not like I made it complicated. I asked 1 question and everyone took it a different direction from what I was asking. If that was you first reply back none of this would of happened lol
April 20th, 2011 at 7:06 pm
You do know that's you basically rephrased the question like three times and got me confused, otherwise I would have said that in the first place..
April 20th, 2011 at 7:10 pm
Everyone was like oh you have to wait a week & I'm like duhhhhhhh I flipping know that since I stated it myself. I just wanted to know how they went about getting it; which you finally explained. I'm guessing you read everything I was getting at this time. I really thank you especially if you can get me 1 of those site links or give me as many as you can & I'll choose which 1 airs it the fastest between them. When you told me "Uncensored version (DC) becomes available on Biglobe's website a week later" that was the answer to the very question I was asking. Then after you let me know it was posted on other Japanese sites after I was like okay that's good to hear especially since you said you'll provide a link, because that's all I actually asked for. Everyone else took it to an entire diff level then from where it started from.
April 20th, 2011 at 7:24 pm
Also sorry assuming by the same file size and converse in chatroom they made it believe you were getting it from the torrent but good that you cleared it up. It's that the same moment it's out I can give my friend the link the moment the DC airs & he'll have it done in like 30 mins. He's a genius and types just as fast as anyone speaks and edits even better. So me asking a favor for something that airs every other week less then 25 mins long really isn't much of a big deal. Granted I can wait till your subs release but if I can get them sooner off a just airing release, I like that idea more. It's basically getting everything in less then/same hr. He'll just email me or text attach ASS. file
April 20th, 2011 at 7:27 pm
Also I had to keep rephrasing the question because you really didn't get it the other times, so I had to find different ways of rewording it; which you actually picked up on where I was going =D
April 20th, 2011 at 7:37 pm
Dude you talk too much. :P
April 20th, 2011 at 7:39 pm
i agree lol its near spamming:P but its cool i guess…
April 20th, 2011 at 7:41 pm
@djshadow I know what you mean… It takes home three posts to say one thing lol
April 20th, 2011 at 7:58 pm
If I'm asking a question or a statement it really doesn't matter how long or short it is. No 1 is forcing you to read anything. Plus I don't see you much in any of the comment sections to address my actions (basically another random person) lol
I asked the same question numerous times in short phrases at 1st but got retarded replies till I got an answer after giving long statements. Spamming is when you post something random not pertaining to the show. But at
least I see you're reasonable.
you have to admit it took so many post for a simple question to be answered lmao
April 20th, 2011 at 8:01 pm
Spam is saying something like = I'm a Ninja Techno DJ over a crap load of times in a row xD
April 20th, 2011 at 8:12 pm
W/e idk if anyone cares lol
I'm trying to figure out a way for us to get high quality web rips
Oh and can you ppl pls donate?? Or at least download through our links??? We currently have $0 for April -.-
April 20th, 2011 at 8:24 pm
Oh great! Not only fog but now voice also -_-
April 20th, 2011 at 8:37 pm
Don't when you host a site you get paid per how many hits you have (not certain just a question)?
April 20th, 2011 at 8:41 pm
the uncensored has been released
April 20th, 2011 at 8:44 pm
Are you serious or joking around?
April 20th, 2011 at 8:44 pm
but at least I got to thank for the sensor of manboob -_-
April 20th, 2011 at 10:01 pm
Um no we pay them -.- (wordpress.org)
And we get paid from downloads throughout you fileserve and depositfiles links (need 1000 downloads to get paid)
April 20th, 2011 at 10:11 pm
ohhkay geesh hosting a site must be hard then. Making a profit must be a tad difficult?.
April 20th, 2011 at 10:21 pm
Yup since most ppl just go and use the MU links we put upand if we don't the bitch about it till we put them up =="
April 20th, 2011 at 11:05 pm
I do see that a lot. Try the brainwash technique but it might not work since someone would just upload your copy to megaupload anyway. I was going to say don't prove a MU link but force them to use fileserve and depositfiles. Probably put up a mini banner on your page which guides people to a donation section. If people know a dependable sub group might fade do to donations I think a lot of people might step up.
April 21st, 2011 at 5:27 pm
is there any uncensored version 4 this anime??
April 22nd, 2011 at 10:24 am
Please wait ..the uncensored will be out -.- have patience! CONTROL YOURSELF!! XD
April 22nd, 2011 at 3:58 pm
April 25th, 2011 at 1:19 am
YAY i feel good for downloading from fileserve now :P
April 25th, 2011 at 6:09 pm
YaY! The ep 2 uncensored has been released by subdesu. lol
April 25th, 2011 at 8:18 pm
Nice to see you all happy with the release :p
if anyone hasn't figured it out yet, I'm urusaibakababa (urusai) from the SubDesu staff :p
April 26th, 2011 at 6:26 am
yay thanxs
April 28th, 2011 at 2:59 am
I'm sorry but which one is the uncensored version? The first one is censored I think..

RB Jacques Patrick recaps Michigan visit
By Tom VanHaaren
Michigan had the opportunity to host 2015 running back
Jacques Patrick
(Orlando, Fla./Timber Creek) on Thursday. The talented back was on a Midwest tour and got the chance to see what the Wolverines had to offer.
Patrick got the usual tour and saw the Big House, the indoor facilities and the weight room. The highlight of the day, though, was getting a chance to sit down with Michigan running backs coach Fred Jackson.
"I talked to Coach Jackson for about 45 minutes, I was in there for a while. He was telling me he's watched around 50 running backs and I'm one of the best he's seen," he said. "That means a lot, because he's been doing this for a while."
Patrick felt comfortable with Jackson and came away impressed with all the running backs he has had a hand in coaching.
"He showed me all the backs he's coached that were on his wall in his office, like Mike Hart. I used to watch him when I was little," he said. "I was surprised the way I bonded with Coach Jackson so quickly. He broke down everything I wanted to hear, and how I would be used in the offense."
The star running back also got a chance to sit down with head coach Brady Hoke for a significant amount of time. That conversation was geared more toward Michigan's academics and how a degree could benefit Patrick in the future.
"He was telling me about the Michigan degree, which was good because I'm probably going into engineering or business," he said. "Right now I'm doing engineering at my school and if football doesn't work out, then there is a lot of money in engineering."
Patrick was accompanied by his cousin, Terel Patrick, who is an assistant coach at Detroit Martin Luther King High School. He didn't bring his mother up from Florida this time around, but he says that could be in the works for next time.
"I want to try to get back up here with my mom," he said. "I didn't want to bring her the first time if I didn't like it, so I want to bring her back up and see some of these schools."
Patrick visited Michigan State on Wednesday and Ohio State on Tuesday. HeĀ
said this week
that he is planning to make a second trip to Ohio State on Oct. 26.

Recent trends in organic food have carried over from the plates of pet owners to the bowls of their pets. Big-box pet retailers and pet specialty stores are increasingly stocking shelves with premium, organic, locally-sourced, free-range, minimally-processed and raw petfoods to follow this trend, says a recent Los Angeles Times article.
"If there's a trend in human food and supplements, you'll see it on the pet food aisle," said Bob Vetere, president of American Pet Products Association. "Gluten-free, vitamin supplemented, breed-specific, senior formulas — all of these have taken over the pet marketplace, and we're seeing the competition increasing."
Pet owners are spending more to feed their pets, as retail petfood sales were up 2.8% from 2009, to US$18.4 billion in 2010, according to the Packaged Facts. The market research company predicts that sales of natural foods will surpass overall petfood sales within the next five years, despite the fact that these foods can be more expensive than commercial petfood brands.
Many pet owners seek food they believe is more wholesome and natural compared with large commercial brands. Some pet owners switched to specialty foods after a 2007 recall of petfoods tainted with melamine, though there is no guarantee that specialty petfoods foods cannot also be contaminated, experts warn. In some cases, veterinarians say, legitimate pet concerns, such as meeting the nutritional needs of old age or treating allergies, are reasons pet owners switch to feeding a specialty food.
Dr. Nancy Scanlan, a veterinarian and executive director of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association, says experimentation may be the best method of finding the right petfood. Scanlan encourages pet owners to talk to their veterinarian, read petfood ingredient labels and look at studies in peer-reviewed journals.
US trade data show petfood faring relatively well

What does the new economic reality mean for petfood manufacturers, especially small- to medium-sized companies?
I started an organic dog treat company last year called The Organic Hound Co. and we have been overwhelmed by the amount of support from our local community. We source our ingredients locally whenever possible and we recently received our USDA organic certification. Our customers really appreciate our commitment to quality and we are proud to offer healthy, certified organic treats for dogs!
This trend also opens a door for pet food brands to help consumers sort through the tsunami of third party content on the Web about pet nutrition. Curating, organizing content just as important as creating it at Web sites and social platforms.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Magnetic reluctance, or magnetic resistance, is a concept used in the analysis of magnetic circuits. It is analogous to resistance in an electrical circuit, but rather than dissipating electric energy it stores magnetic energy. In likeness to the way an electric field causes an electric current to follow the path of least resistance, a magnetic field causes magnetic flux to follow the path of least magnetic reluctance. It is a scalar, extensive quantity, akin to electrical resistance. The unit for magnetic reluctance is inverse henry, H−1.
The term was coined in May 1888 by Oliver Heaviside.[1] The notion of "magnetic resistance" was first mentioned by James Joule[2] and the term "magnetomotive force" (MMF) was first named by Bosanquet.[3] The idea for a magnetic flux law, similar to Ohm's law for closed electric circuits, is attributed to H. Rowland.[4]
Reluctance is usually represented by a cursive capital .
In a DC field, the reluctance is the ratio of the "magnetomotive force" (MMF) in a magnetic circuit to the magnetic flux in this circuit. In a pulsating DC or AC field, the reluctance is the ratio of the amplitude of the "magnetomotive force" (MMF) in a magnetic circuit to the amplitude of the magnetic flux in this circuit. (see phasors)
The definition can be expressed as follows:
It is sometimes known as Hopkinson's law and is analogous to Ohm's Law with resistance replaced by reluctance, voltage by MMF and current by magnetic flux.
Magnetic flux always forms a closed loop, as described by Maxwell's equations, but the path of the loop depends on the reluctance of the surrounding materials. It is concentrated around the path of least reluctance. Air and vacuum have high reluctance, while easily magnetized materials such as soft iron have low reluctance. The concentration of flux in low-reluctance materials forms strong temporary poles and causes mechanical forces that tend to move the materials towards regions of higher flux so it is always an attractive force(pull).
The reluctance of a uniform magnetic circuit can be calculated as:
The inverse of reluctance is called permeance.
Its SI derived unit is the henry (the same as the unit of inductance, although the two concepts are distinct).
Reluctance can also be applied to:

another one of my many poems in my lost but now found composition books...this is called Deep Within;
as the tears are flowing
and the cuts are growing
ad opening to the heightened pain.
but as each and every word is said
and soaked within
the anger and hostility begins.
there are more sad than happy days in a week
and as many cuts that cover the body
enough that it hurts to live.
the desires to fade and die begins
to be the only thing in mind
the joys and closeness of family begins
and turns my world upside down.
the anger soon starts again
to the point where there is no point to live...
*sniff sniff* *wipes tear from eye*
