Definitely enjoyed My Little Monster. The somewhat wonky pace didn't really bother me, partially because I was having so much fun watching the characters, and partially because jumping ahead a month helped move the relationship (such as it is) forward a bit more than one might expect for the first episode, which was a nice surprise. The only thing that really bothered me was that scene spoiler[in the alley with the rape line, because it felt really out of place and more than a little off-putting for a character who was so comically over the top (the very next thing he does is pull a box over his head and tell her to follow him). Obviously wasn't a serious threat, and it did kind of show further just how out of touch Haru is with the way his actions and words affect others, but I still didn't really like it.]
Small misstep aside, I really enjoyed the show, and am looking forward to more. |

I actually enjoyed My Little Monster quite a bit. I don't typically watch shoujo stuff because the art is a turn off, but Brains Base used quite a nice art style for this show, so it made it much more appealing to me. The story is also kinda interesting, though I hope that the guy stops being so obsessed with the girl later on. Or at least tones it down a bit. | |||

Alright, it started and have to say that My Little Monster was pretty good after watching it. I liked the comedy, drama, and that spoiler[surprise kiss at the end]. Ha, those two main characters makes a pretty amusing duo.
The other series Hiiro no Kakera S2 was basically spoiler[recap] so wasn't too catchy. The OP song was sort of nice though |

*Puts on a hard hat for good measure*
I think I'm ready. Shall I start by getting the obvious ones out of the way? I can't wait for Zac to review XXXbooblolibaitshow#999! Will Zac be reviewing CanIBoneMyImouto-chan? Reminder #6232: Typically Zac only reviews things that either the rest of us haven't gotten to yet or that really catch his attention. You can't trust Zac's previews anyways. Look at the grade he gave the Madoka Magica preview! LE GASP! Travesty! Herpderp, ANN reviewers suck. They're all one hive mind anyways. GAWD, WHATEVER HAPPENED TO OBJECTIVE REVIEWS! Reviews are meant to be subjective, moron. Suck my [censored words can't be repeated in polite company]. I am personally deeply offended by "blahblahblah" that Zac said. Y'know, just because I like--- A creeper is a creeper. We calls it likes we sees it. Haha, sucks to be you. This shows is projected to sell #### units. Look at these pre-order numbers. Hmm... am I missing any? |

You forgot that all ANN reviewers not named Zac will be neglected in the forums even if they rank a show with high marks. Seriously, it's like Rebecca, Carl, Carlo, and Bamboo don't even exist. My Little Monsters: This is going to be one heck of a show! At first, the fast pacing was a bit difficult to catch everything but the humor between the couple is great! Haru is like a huge, cute puppy with anger management issues while Ice Queen Shizuku is so witty and adorable. spoiler[And she can take a punch to the face very well. Ouch!] Will continue!! |

I actually found the first episode to be pretty dumb.
Haru is so forceful and violent that its no surprise that everyone avoids him. Shizuku not only goes to warn him about his imminent expulsion when she hardly knows him, but she actually starts have feelings for him even though he threatened her of rape and 'inadvertently' hit her so hard that she started bleeding out of her nose. The guy is so annoying with his nagging and violent nature but he's emotionally vulnerable and a regular white knight, and on top of that, he's actually pretty good at studies. So yeah, we got our typical shoujo hero, who's perfect at everything but one thing, which is obviously where our Shizuku comes in. She's supposed to leash him and make sure he doesn't get into trouble by constantly babysitting him. I sure as hell hope that she doesn't have to be rescued by punks all the time, who just want to get to Haru because I can totally see that happening. An abysmal first episode for me but I'm gonna stick with it a couple of episodes to see if anything changes 'cause yes I actually do dig the art style. Btw Rebecca Shizuku reminds me of Maka from Soul Eater. Even some of their personality traits overlap each other. |

FOR RELEASE: THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 2012Many professional organizations have laid claim to the month of March, declaring various focuses for the third month of the year. Whether you choose to acknowledge International Mirth Month, National Craft Month, Sleep Awareness Week, March Into Literacy Month (or None of the Above month), the trendy Gemini moon ushers in the new. ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will find yourself in less than inspiring circumstances. The lack of stimuli presents a chance to daydream about pleasant places or recall a happy memory. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Just as every item you own needs a place where it belongs, every person in your life fulfills a role. You feel the roles shifting in interesting ways now. It's as though your emotional life is getting reorganized. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Frustration is only a dead end if it causes you to quit. Don't give up. Just because things aren't coming together easily doesn't mean they won't come together at all. The next solution you try may work like a charm. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You like it when silly things happen. It makes for a good story later. There are people in your life who thrill to hear your stories, by the way. Call one of them tonight. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You'll give thought as to the functionality of things in your life. If they don't serve an obvious purpose, you'll be in just the kind of mood to lighten your load and throw them out. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Time is one of the worst things to lose or waste, because there's no way to get it back. That's why it's important to think ahead, make the best arrangements you can make and bring something to do while you wait. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Responsibilities come into play. You'll do what it takes to maintain your lifestyle and relationships. You'll take care of the things you own, and they will work for you for many years to come. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You'll enjoy your time alone today and realize how truly comfortable you are in your own company. It will be easier to be a good friend to others when you're first a good friend to yourself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). To outsiders, you may appear to be easygoing, but you have a persnickety side, too. You are most discerning in matters pertaining to how you look, where you go and what you put in your mouth. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You're even more powerful than usual, so be careful what you think about. Your thoughts have a way of becoming realities rather quickly. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Shake off the early morning's dreamy mood, and get busy. Everyone knows that "someday" never comes — probably because it doesn't exist. There is only today. Make concrete plans, and act on them. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Matters of scale will have a bearing on your situation. You can't play small for big goals. You'll go home with the prize if and only if the size of your game matches the game you're in. TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 1). A burden will be lifted in the next four weeks. Giving credit where credit is due will bring luck. Often this will involve honoring the spiritual aspects of your life and the many ways love shows up in your world. Nature brings joy and healing through the spring. June brings an eye-opening journey. Aquarius and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 42, 35, 28 and 19. COSMIC CONFIDENCE: In the age of Facebook and YouTube, there are more opportunities than ever before to project yourself in a public forum. Whether in interpersonal dealings or in presenting yourself to the world at large, your astrological sign offers unique insight to help you gain the confident edge that will make others take notice and give you the right kind of attention. So what's your cosmic advantage? CANCER: Your likeability factor is high because you wear your heart on your sleeve and most people can relate to your emotional journey. You're also warm and welcoming with a tendency to make others feel at home. Your lack of pretention is disarming, and it helps people open up to the degree that confidence is no longer an issue. You bring things to the human level — people relating to people — and therefore, the need to impress or persuade is trumped by the need to understand and be understood. There will be instances in which your natural inclinations won't be enough to get the situation in order. When it's your turn to perform a presentation, give a speech or deliver difficult news, other skills will come into play. In those instances, practice and repetition help you come across just right. CELEBRITY PROFILES: Avid Justin Bieber fans call themselves "Beliebers" these days, and they are excitedly awaiting many appearances by this young pop star, including his hosting debut on "Saturday Night Live." Bieber's natal sun, Venus and Saturn are in Pisces, the sign of old souls. Mercury is in musical Aquarius, and Uranus and Neptune are in the hardworking, business-oriented sign of Capricorn.

Three teachers at the Indiana State University's Early Childhood Education Center's (ECEC) Child Care program have recently received certification as Musikgarten instructors.
Marisa Vincent, Charlene Lowry and Tiffany Cherry attended training conferences in the Cincinnati and Chicago area to learn information and techniques to enrich their pre-school classrooms with music.
"The music theory I learned at Musikgarten has helped me clarify the parallel between music and reading skills," Lowry said. "It emphasizes listening skills, impulsive control, learning patterns, creative thinking and we learn to love music as well."
The ISU ECEC offered Musikgarten classes last school year at the Child Care Center and the preschool program at Franklin Elementary. Shere Viar has taught the classes in the past and will continue this school year. These classes and training were made possible by a donation from the late Martha Pearman Sharp
Musikgarten is a leader in early childhood music and movement education. It focuses on developing children's social, emotional, musical and physical skills through music and movement programs.
For more information, visit www.indstate.edu/ecec or call the Early Childhood Education Center at 237-2547.

Boston is a city that preserves the historical tradition of colonial times while maintaining a lively and modern ambience. For almost four hundred years, Boston has stood as the cultural hub of New England, welcoming visitors from around the world with its distinctive architecture, elegant parks and legendary attractions.
While in Boston, you will experience the elegance of the Boston Sheraton located near Copley Place. The Sheraton is within comfortable walking distance from many popular landmarks, great shopping and some of Boston's finest restaurants.
A knowledgeable local tour guide will accompany you on a narrated tour of the city, where you will receive little-known facts about its attractions. You'll travel down the old-world Freedom Trail, with stops at Boston's favourite historical landmarks. You'll continue your tour with visits to Back Bay, the Public Gardens, Beacon Hill, and old Ironsides, the oldest ship in the U.S. Navy. Unlike most tours of Boston, Travac will take you to Cambridge, Boston's sister city across the Charles River, where you will visit the notable Harvard University.
Travac's Boston holiday includes round trip transportation via a comfortable chartered coach; accommodation in downtown Boston; a four-hour narrated city tour; and the services of a reliable Travac Tours host.
Tour Itinerary
Day 1
This morning you will depart Westgate Shopping Centre on your journey to Boston. A lunch stop will be made enroute. At approximately 4:30pm arrive at your hotel. You will be free to explore your surroundings for the balance of your day.
Day 2
At 9:00am depart for a city tour of Boston. Your tour will include stops at the Freedom Trail, including a visit to the Old North Church. You will continue your Boston tour with visits to Back Bay, the Public Gardens, Beacon Hill and Old Ironsides, the oldest ship in the U.S. Navy. The tour will also stop in Cambridge, Boston's sister city across the Charles River. Cambridge is a pre-eminent center of learning. You will tour Harvard University, the oldest university in the country. In and around the yard are buildings representing the history of architecture in America. Cambridge was also the home of Longfellow, and we will pass his home, as we drive along Brattle Street, known during the revolution as Tory Row for its mansions belonging to loyalists. Following your tour the balance of your day will be free.
Day 3
Today is a completely free day. You may wish to go to the Museum of Fine Art which is one of the nation's great museums. Alternately you can visit Newbury Street, dubbed Boston's "Rodeo Drive". The Quincy Market is also an attraction unto itself. Shoppers will enjoy the fact that the Boston Sheraton is just a few minutes walk from Boston's largest downtown shopping centre. Later this afternoon a shuttle service will be available to Quincy Market and Boston's North End, famous for its Italian restaurants.
Day 4
You will have the morning free to explore at your leisure. At 12:00pm the bus will depart the hotel to return home; a dinner stop will be made enroute. At approximately 10:30pm arrive at the Westgate Shopping Centre.

Magrunner is like spooky Portal with Cthulhu, out now
Magrunner: Dark Pulse looks great if this trailer is any proper indication. I'm in love with the starkly clashing, almost manic aesthetic that smacks of colorful imagination straight out of the PS2 era. Our own Caitlin Cooke caught Magrunner at E3 and quite enjoyed it, noting that it isn't just some Portal clone. And, even if it is, there are worse things to clone. Maybe I've managed to avoid most of them, but I have seen relatively few first-person puzzlers emerge in Portal's wake anyway. Magrunner is now available on both Steam and GOG for a fair $19.99. PS3 and Xbox 360 releases are slated for September. Comments not appearing? Anti-virus apps like Avast or some browser extensions can cause this.

What is a Collaborative Divorce?
by attorney Elizabeth Powell
Each party has an attorney. Each party has their own attorney with whom they can discuss - privately - their concerns and goals for the matter.... more
he is primary wage earner, history of mental health issues, sleep issues (cant ge to work on time), not a close relationship with the kids. it seems he would get more custody this way than through the courts. Is this true? I see no benefit to myself. I believe any guardian or mental health person looking out for the kids rather than being a neutral would agree. collaboration is so neutral it brushes this short comings under the rug. is my intuition correct here? arent collaborative attorneys required to look out for kids best interest as well?
In my very humble opinion, a "collaborative law" approach can be helpful and cost-efficient in cases where BOTH Parties come to the table with good faith, and the best interests of their children at heart. However, often times the "contentious" divorce cases (i.e.: full-blown custody disputes or cases involving domestic violence or cases involving extensive hidden assets) do not fit best with that approach. My advice: retain a Family Law lawyer who is fully capable of effectively handling both types of cases. They can review all your case issues and concerns in detail, to advise you as to whether a "collaborative law" approach is the best fit for you. I wish you all the best of luck Warmest regards, Matt Catchick.
Collaborative divorce is an alternative to contested divorce that involves collaborative sessions between the parties and their lawyers.

Description This is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 100,400, filed Dec. 17, 1979, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,278,590, issued July 14, 1981 which in turn is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 68,275, filed Aug. 20, 1979, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,283,327, issued Aug. 11, 1981 which in turn is a continuation of application Ser. No. 6391, filed Jan. 25, 1979, now abandoned. The present invention pertains to the incorporation of selected 2-aryl-2H-benzotriazoles in photographic products particularly in color photographic compositions to protect color dye images against the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation. The UV-absorbers of the o-hydroxyphenyl-2H-benzotriazole class have long been known as effective light stabilizers for organic materials and have enjoyed considerable commercial success. The description, preparation and uses of these valuable 2-aryl-2H-benzotriazoles are further taught in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,004,896; 3,055,896; 3,072,585; 3,074,910; 3,189,615 and 3,230,194. However the hitherto known 2-aryl-2H-benzotriazoles of this group have in some circumstances exhibited limited compatibility in certain substrates, and excessive tendency to exude, sublime and/or volatilize during processing of stabilized compositions into sheets, films, fibers or other pellicles when processing must be done at elevated temperatures. Likewise such benzotriazoles may also suffer undue loss by volatilization or sublimation from fabricated structures, particularly thin films or coatings, especially when subjected to elevated temperatures during use. Attempts have been made to increase compatibility and to reduce volatilization loss by modifying the structure of the benzotriazoles. In U.S. Pat. No. 3,230,194, a higher alkyl group was substituted for methyl and the latter compound 2-(2-hydroxy-5-tert-octylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole exhibited superior compatibility and performance in polyethylene compound to former. Still other attempts were made to increase the compatibility of the aryl-2H-benzotriazole molecules in polymeric substrates and to decrease the tendency of said molecules to volatilize during processing and/or use by substituting the phenolic ring of said compounds with aralkyl groups such as benzyl, α-methylbenzyl and α,α-dimethylbenzyl radicals. Such compounds are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,127,586; Japanese Kokai No. 158588/75 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,226,763. Surprisingly, the instant compounds such as 2-(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-octylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole having only alkyl substitution on the phenolic ring of the benzotriazole exhibit an excellent combination of compatibility with and/or solubility in numerous polymeric substrates along with superior resistance to loss from stabilized compositions during high temperature processing or in end use applications where coatings or films of the stabilized compositions are exposed even to ambient weathering and light exposures compared to stabilized compositions containing the closest 2-aryl-2H-benzotriazoles of the prior art. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,041,044, an improved process for making 2-aryl-2H-benzotriazoles is taught. In said Specification, a number of phenols and some twelve preferred phenols useful in said process are listed, inter alia 2,4-di-tert-octylphenol. Neither instant compound 2-(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-octylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole nor 5-chloro-2-(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-octylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole was exemplified nor prepared in said reference and the outstanding properties of these compounds now seen compared to other prior art benzotriazoles were not then recognized from among the myriad of possible compounds disclosed in this reference. A dyeable stabilized polymer blend comprising polypropylene, a polyetherester, two phenolic antioxidants, a thiosynergist and 2-(2-hydroxy-3,5-dioctylphenyl)-2,1,3-benzotriazole is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,487,453. The exact chemical structure of the "dioctyl" substitution on the aryl-2H-benzotriazole moiety is not further identified nor can what influence or effect the benzotriazole exerted in this complex mixture of stabilizers in polypropylene be discerned. Certain hydrophobic nondiffusing hydroxyphenylbenzotriazoles are disclosed as very useful as ultraviolet light absorbers in photographic gelatin layers (U.S. Pat. No. 3,253,921). The instant benzotriazoles with their great resistance to volatilization, their enhanced solubility in selected solvents, their desirable absorption characteristics in the ultraviolet range and their photographic inertness are particularly useful in photographic compositions, especially in protecting color dye images against the harmful effects of ultraviolet light. U.S. Pat. No. 3,253,921 discloses benzotriazoles broadly, but does not exemplify the two instant benzotriazoles which are found to be particularly effective in stabilizing photographic compositions against the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation. Further background in the area of stabilization of photographic dye images is provided by U.S. Pat. No. 4,042,394 which describes the various components in photographic compositions and the requirements for stabilizing photographic dye images. This invention relates to selected 2-aryl-2H-benzotriazole light absorbers and to photographic compositions stabilized thereby. More particularly, the 2-aryl-2H-benzotriazoles of this invention are represented by the Formula I ##STR1## wherein R1 is hydrogen or chloro, and R2 is tert-octyl. Preferably, R1 is hydrogen. The preferred compound is 2-[2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-octylphenyl]-2H-benzotriazole. The compounds of this invention are made by the following procedure: Step I: ##STR2## X is an anion such as chloride or sulfate. ##STR3## Step II: ##STR4## R1 and R2 are as described earlier in the specification. Step I is the coupling of a diazonium compound with a phenol and can be carried out under either acid or alkaline conditions. Preferably the coupling is carried out under acid conditions to give yields of coupled product, the o-nitroazobenzene intermediate (V) in the range of over 70% of theory. Step II involves the reductive cyclization of the intermediate V to the corresponding 2-aryl-2H-benzotriazole. This can be conveniently carried out by a number of known reduction methods including zinc and alkali, hydrazine, and catalytic hydrogenation with noble metal or nickel catalysts for this reaction. Good yields of the 2-aryl-2H-benzotriazoles are obtained by using such systems. The various starting materials, i.e., 2,4-di-tert-octylphenol o-nitroaniline and 5-chloro-2-nitroaniline, are largely available as items of commerce or can easily be prepared by known methods. A typical photographic composition comprises a paper support on which are coated one or more light-sensitive layers and a layer containing the ultraviolet light absorber in a binder so placed as to protect the layer or layers requiring protection. It is known that ultraviolet radiation has a detrimental effect on photographic layers. Ultraviolet radiation in light sources used for exposure of photographic products sometimes produces undesired exposure of the layer or layers of a photographic element. This is especially true in photographic elements designed for use in color photography in which the emulsion has been sensitized to the longer wavelength regions and it is desirable to record only the rays of the visible spectrum. Color photographs on multilayer photographic material, particularly those in which the dye images are formed in sensitive emulsion layers by color development, are susceptible to fading and discoloration by the action of ultraviolet radiation to which the photographs are subjected during viewing. The residual couplers contained in the emulsion layer after the formulation of the picture images may be attacked by ultraviolet radiation resulting in an undersirable stain in the finished photograph. The action of ultraviolet radiation on finished color photographs is particularly noticeable on positive prints on paper or other opaque support since this type of print is frequently viewed in daylight which has a high content of ultraviolet radiation. The dye-fading and discoloration effects appear to be caused primarily by those wavelengths of light close to the visual region of the spectrum, i.e., 300-400 nm. It is known that silver halide photographic materials can be protected from ultraviolet radiation by incorporating nondiffusing ultraviolet absorbing compounds in the silver halide emulsion layers or in overlying colloid coatings. A large number of ultraviolet absorbers have been proposed for this use. Ultraviolet absorbing compounds for photograhic use must generally be colorless or nearly colorless, show good compatability with the medium in which they are incorporated, be inert to other photographic addenda in the element and in the processing solution, must have good ultraviolet absorptivity and be stable to ultraviolet radiation. Representative compounds for incorporation in photographic elements are described for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,253,921. Aromatic organic compounds such as ultraviolet absorbers, dye-forming couplers, antistain agents, filter dyes and the like to be effective must be nondiffusing and adequately distributed in highly dispersed form in the aqueous photographic gelatin layers. This can be accomplished by a variety of chemical or physical techniques including the substitution of sulfonic acid or other solubilizing groups on the organic molecule; by one of a polar organic solvent imbibition procedures; or by solvent dispersion techniques. The instant 2-aryl-2H-benzotriazoles are extremely useful as ultraviolet absorbers in photographic gelatin layers. The 2-(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-octylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole exhibit desirable absorption characteristics in the ultraviolet region, i.e., maximum absorption in the near ultraviolet and sharp cut-off just outside the visible region, is essentially colorless, is readily dispersed or dissolved by either the solvent-dispersion or imbibition methods, and is photographically inert. Indeed, the 5-chloro-2-(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-octylphenyl)-2H-benzotriazole has the ability to absorb light beyond 400 nm to about 420 nm with a sharp cutoff at the higher wavelength while also possessing the requisite compatibility and other desirable properties mentioned above. It is contemplated that the use of mixtures of these two instant benzotriazoles in various photographic compositions would give particularly salubrious results. The instant compounds exhibit excellent compatibility characteristics in the gelatin layers of the photographic composition which lead to compositions essentially without haze coupled with superior protection of the color dye images against the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation. This combination of properties clearly distinguishes the two instant benzotriazole light absorbers from the generic disclosure of U.S. Pat. No. 3,253,921. These salubrious results are obtained when the instant benzotriazoles are incorporated into the gelatin layer by the solvent dispersion technique. An object of the invention is to provide novel photographic elements protected against the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation by incorporation of ultraviolet absorbing materials. Another object is to provide photographic color materials containing ultraviolet absorbers incorporated in a highly stable form. A further object is to provide a nondiffusing ultraviolet absorber. Other objects will become apparent from a consideration of the following specification and claims. According to the invention, these and other objects are accomplished by the use of the solvent dispersion technique to incorporate in aqueous hydrophilic colloid solutions for coating silver halide emulsion layers or associated hydrophilic colloid layers, an ultraviolet-radiation absorbing compound represented by Formula I: ##STR5## wherein R1 is hydrogen or chloro, and R2 is tert-octyl. An alternative procedure contemplated to incorporate the instant benzotriazoles into a hydrophilic colloid involves heating an aqueous solution of said hydrophilic colloid containing the undissolved benzotriazole and an appropriate dispersing agent to a temperature above the melting point of the instant benzotriazole, agitating the resulting mixture to obtain a fine dispersion of the benzotriazole in the colloid, and then cooling the mixture. The instant benzotriazole compounds are non-diffusing and have the solubility characteristics needed to carry out the instant invention appropriately. The compounds of Formula I are incorporated in solvent dispersion advantageously by dissolving them in either a high boiling water-immiscible organic solvent, a low boiling organic solvent, or a water-soluble organic solvent, or in a mixture of a high boiling water-immiscible organic solvent and/or a low boiling and/or water-soluble organic solvent. The preferred high-boiling solvents include di-n-butyl phthalate, benzyl phthalate, triphenyl phosphate, tri-o-cresyl phosphate, diphenyl mono-p-tert-butylphenyl phosphate, monophenyl di-p-tert-butylphenyl phosphate, diphenyl mono-o-chlorophenyl phosphate, monophenyl di-o-chlorophenyl phosphate, tri-p-tert-butylphenyl phosphate, tri-o-phenylphenyl phosphate, di-p-tert-butylphenyl mono(5-tert-butyl-2-phenylphenyl)phosphate, etc. The low boiling or water-soluble organic solvents can be used to advantage with or in place of a high boiling solvent. The organic solvents include: (1) Low boiling substantially water-insoluble organic solvents, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl acetates, isopropyl acetate, ethyl propionate, sec-butyl alcohol, ethyl formate, butyl formate, nitromethane, nitroethane, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, etc. and (2) Water-soluble organic solvents, such as methyl isobutyl ketone, 2-ethoxyethyl acetate, 2-butoxy-2-ethoxy-ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofurfuryl adipate, Carbitol acetate (diethylene glycol monoacetate), methoxy triglycol acetate, methyl Cellosolve acetate, acetonyl acetone, diacetone alcohol, butyl Carbitol, butyl Cellosolve, methyl Carbitol, methyl Cellosolve, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, di-propylene glycol, acetone, methanol, ethanol, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, dioxane, etc. Any water present in the solvent solution must be low enough not to affect adversely the solubility of the absorber. The low boiling or water-soluble solvents may be removed from the dispersion, for example, by air-driving a chilled, noodled dispersion or by continuous water-washing. The ultraviolet absorbing layer is coated from a composition comprising a solvent dispersion of a compound of Formula I made by dissolving the compound in an organic solvent and dispersing this solution in an aqueous solution of a hydrophilic colloid or binder. Binders that are particularly advantageous to use include gelatin, albumin, etc., cellulose derivatives, polyvinyl compounds, etc. The polymeric binders include polyvinyl alcohol or a hydrolyzed polyvinyl acetate; a far hydrolyzed cellulose ester such as cellulose acetate hydrolyzed to an acetyl content of 19-26 percent; a water-soluble ethanolamine cellulose acetate, a polyacrylamide having a combined acrylamide content of 30-60 percent and a specific viscosity of 0.25-1.5 on an imidized polyacrylamide of like acrylamide content and viscosity; a vinyl alcohol polymer containing urethane carboxylic acid groups of the type; or containing cyanoethyl groups such as the vinyl alcohol-vinyl cyano-acetate copolymer; or a polymeric material which results from polymerizing a protein or a saturated acylated protein with a monomer having a vinyl group. The dispersion of an absorbing compound of Formula I in the binder material is coated over the light-sensitive layer of the photographic element. Where the photographic element is a material intended for use in color photography, the ultraviolet filter layer need not be an outer layer, but can be used as an interlayer, i.e., under the layer or layers not needing the protection and over the layer or layers needing protection. For example, in a multilayer material comprising three differentially sensitized layers, the red-sensitive layer being adjacent to the support, the green-sensitive layer being superimposed on the red-sensitive layer and the blue-sensitive layer being outermost with respect to the other light-sensitive layers, the ultraviolet filter layer can be placed between the blue and green-sensitive layers or between the green and red-sensitive layers. Similarly, in another photographic element in which the layers are reversed, that is, the blue-sensitive layer is coated over the support, and the green and red-sensitive layers are superposed over the blue-sensitive layer in that order, the ultraviolet filter layer can be over all three layers or between any two of the layers. Alternatively, the ultraviolet absorbing composition can be incorporated directly in the light-sensitive emulsion instead of, or in addition, being present in another layer. The amount of the ultraviolet absorbing material used can be varied, depending upon the effect desired and the use that will be made of the material. The ultraviolet absorbing compositions are coated over a wide range of concentrations; usually they are coated in the range of from 20 to 300 mg. of ultraviolet absorbing compound per ft.2 photographic element. A preferred range is from 75 to 160 mg/ft.2. The optimum coating concentrations will depend upon the particular photographic element to be protected and the amount of protection desired. The optimum coating concentrations for a given photographic element can be determined by methods well known in the art. Any photographic element may be advantageously protected according to the invention. These photographic elements may have as their support any of the conventional support materials, such as firm supports, e.g., cellulose acetate, etc. opaque supports, such as white pigmented film, paper and the like. The ultraviolet absorbing compounds of Formula I are characterized by their nondiffusibility in coated layers, good stability in the incorporating solvents and their good ultraviolet absorption. Ultraviolet absorbing layers containing compounds of Formula I incorporated according to the preferred methods of the invention have unexpectedly excellent stability upon prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation which makes them ideally suited for protecting photographic elements, particularly dye images in color materials. The amount of solvent to be retained in the final coating made according to my invention can be adjusted according to the requirements of the product and by selecting solvents or a mixture of solvents of appropriate volatility and/or water solubility. The following examples are presented for the purpose of illustrated only and are not to be construed to limit the nature of scope of the instant invention in any manner whatsoever. To a 5-liter, 3-necked flask fitted with a stirrer and thermometer was charged 317.3 grams of a 26% aqueous solution of technical naphthalenesulfonic acid, 6.7 grams of Triton X-207 (non-ionic surfactant), 19.6 grams of Conco AAS-90F (sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate) and 315 ml of water. The mixture was warmed to 40� C. and then 393.6 grams of 2,4-di-tert-octylphenol was slowly added to the mixture with vigorous stirring keeping the temperature at 40� C. A cold solution of o-nitroaniline diazonium chloride, prepared from 174.3 grams (1.26 mole) of o-nitroaniline and 87.1 grams (1.26 mole) of sodium nitrite in concentrated aqueous hydrochloric acid solution at a temperature of -5� to 0� C., was added dropwise into the reaction mixture over a 1.5-hour period. The resulting deep red to black reaction mixture was kept at 40� C. overnight. The temperature was raised to 65� C. for 1 hour; then the 95� C. for another 30 minutes. After cooling to 35� C., the reaction mixture was isolated as a fine dark red solid by filtration. The crude product was triturated with 3.5 liters of water; then with 1400 ml of methanol and stirred in a blender, and filtered to yield a fine granular product. The dark red o-nitroazobenzene intermediate named above was obtained in a yield of 419.7 grams (72.7% of theory) and melted at 110�-112� C. Thin layer chromatography indicated a homogeneous product. To a 5-liter 3-necked flask fitted with a stirrer, thermometer, reflux condenser and nitrogen inlet was charged 400 grams (0.855 mol) of the o-nitroazobenzene intermediate of Example 1 and 1200 ml of toluene. To the resulting solution was added 260 ml of isopropanol and 260 ml of water. A nitrogen atmosphere was imposed and 175 ml of 50.1% aqueous sodium hydroxide was added. A flask containing 170.0 gram (2.6 gram-atoms) of zinc was connected to the reaction flask by Gooch rubber tubing and the zinc dust was added portionwise to the reaction mixture over a 120-minute period. The zinc was added at such a rate to keep the internal temperature at 70� C. After the zinc was all added, an additional 30 ml of 50.1% sodium hydroxide and 20 grams of zinc were added to insure complete reaction. The reaction mixture was heated for 3 hours at 70� C. The mixture was cooled to room temperature by standing overnight and acidified with 500 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid. The zinc sludge was removed by filtration. The product was contained in the organic layer, which was washed with three 1000 ml portions of water, then 500 ml of saturated salt solution, and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The organic solvent was removed in vacuo to yield a crude product as a viscous syrup which crystallized on standing. The crude product was recrystallized twice from 1000-1100 ml of ethanol to give 253 grams (67.8% of theory) of a pale yellow solid melting at 105�-106� C. of the above named compound. (Compound 1). Analysis: Calcd for C28 H41 N3 O: C: 77.20; H,9.49; N:9.65. Found C: 77.22; H,9.14; N:9.77. Coupling of 2,4-di-tert-octylphenyl with diazotized 4-chloro-2-nitroaniline using the procedure of Example 1 furnished the above-named compound as a deep red solid in 61.6% yield. When, using the general procedure of Example 2, the amount of 4-chloro-2-nitro-2'-hydroxy-3',5'-di-tert-octylazobenzene was substituted for 2-nitro-2'-hydroxy-3',5'-di-tert-octylazobenzene, the abovenamed compound was prepared in a yield of 71.8% as pale yellow crystals melting at 121�-122� C. (Compound 2) Analysis: Calcd for C28 H40 ClN3 O: C: 71.54; H,8.58; N:8.94. Found C: 71.26; H,8.46; N:9.03. The direct assessment of the compatibility of benzotriazole light stabilizers in photographic compositions is difficult. The compositions containing such stabilizers in photographic oils often take extended periods of time for separation or haze to be observed. An important property of photographic compositions directly related to such compatibility parameters related to such compatibility parameters is haze. For the preparation of clear and precise preparation of clear and precise photographic images, haze must obviously be minimized or better yet essentially eliminated. The measurement of light scattering properties as described below is directly correlative to haze measurements in the photographic compositions. To a solution of 200 mg of gelatine, 2 mg of Nekal BX (an anionic wetting agent) and 10 mg of hardener A ##STR6## in 8.5 ml of water was added a solution of 0.05 millimole of the benzotriazole UV absorber and different quantities of tricresyl phosphate (TCP) or dibutyl phthalate (DBP) in 0.5 ml of ethyl acetate. A very fine dispersion of the organic phase was produced by ultrasonic mixing (5 min./120 W). This dispersion was coated onto a glass plate of 13�18 cm. The coatings were dried and hardened for 3 days at room temperature (20� to 22� C.) and then subjected to the following treatments: Treatment A: 4 days at room temperature (20� to 22� C.) Treatment B: 7 days at 43� C./60% relative humidity Treatment C: 7 days at 4� C. The optical densities of the coatings were measured at 500 nm and 600 nm and from the values obtrained the so called "β-values" were calculated (see M. B. Huglin, Light Scattering from Polymer Solutions, p. 375-379, Academic Press 1972). ##EQU1## The β-value is a measure of the light scattering properties of a solution or a layer. For a UV-protecting layer in a photographic material the β-value should be as high as possible since scattering will decrease the sharpness in underlying layers and cause a haze on the final material. In the following table β-values are given for Compound 1 of the instant invention and for some commercial benzotriazole UV absorbers.

Visual inspection of the actual photographic layers on which the β-values were obtained confirms that the layers containing the Compound 1 benzotriazole exhibited essentially no haze while the layers containing the prior art benzotriazoles possessed discernible haze. In Example 5, it was shown that Compound 1 led to essentially no haze in photographic compositions. This property, however desirable, would not bestow onto Compound 1 practical utility if Compound 1 did not also provide acceptable protection to the color layer in such compositions against the harmful effects of ultraviolet light. Photographic composition were prepared as follows: 1. Coupler emulsion: 38.9 mg of Coupler A ##STR7## and 100 mg of tricresyl phosphate are dissolved in 1 ml of methylene chloride, part of the solvent is evaporated and to the rest is added a solution of 480 mg of gelatin and 40 mg of Nekal BX (anionic wetting agent) in 9.9 ml of water. A very fine dispersion of the organic phase is produced by ultrasonic mixing (10 min./120 W). 2. Light-sensitive layer: To 2.5 ml of the coupler emulsion were added: 4.5 ml of water and 2 ml of a silver bromide emulsion (55 g silver and 70 g gelatine per kg). The whole was well mixed, then coated onto a piece of opaque triacetate film of 13�18 cm and the coating is dried 24 hours at room temperature. 3. Protecting layer: To a solution of 200 mg of gelatine, 2 mg of Nekal BX and 20 mg of hardener A (see structure in Example 5) in 9 ml of water is added a solution of 0.05 millimole of the UV absorber and 330 mg of dibutyl phthalate per g of benzotriazole UV absorber in 0.5 ml of ethyl acetate. A very fine dispersion of the organic phase is obtained by ultrasonic mixing (5 min./120 W). This dispersion is coated in the dark onto the light-sensitive layer.

LONDON (AP) — Richard Griffiths was one of the great British stage actors of his generation, a heavy man with a light touch, whether in Shakespeare or Neil Simon. But for millions of movie fans, he will always be grumpy Uncle Vernon, the least magical of characters in the fantastical "Harry Potter" movies.
Griffiths died Thursday at University Hospital in Coventry, central England, from complications following heart surgery, his agent, Simon Beresford, said. He was 65.
"Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe paid tribute to the actor Friday, saying that "any room he walked into was made twice as funny and twice as clever just by his presence."
"I am proud to say I knew him," Radcliffe said.
Griffiths won a Tony Award for "The History Boys" and appeared in dozens of movies and TV shows. But he will be most widely remembered as a pair of contrasting uncles — Harry Potter's Uncle Vernon Dursley and Uncle Monty in cult film "Withnail and I."
Griffiths was among a huge roster of British acting talent to appear in the "Harry Potter" series of films released between 2001 and 2011.
His role, as the grudging, magic-fearing guardian of orphaned wizard Harry, was small but pivotal. Griffiths once said he liked playing Uncle Vernon "because that gives me a license to be horrible to kids."
But Radcliffe recalled Griffiths' kindness to the young star.
"Richard was by my side during two of the most important moments of my career," said Radcliffe, who in 2007 starred with Griffiths in a London and Broadway production of "Equus."
"In August 2000, before official production had even begun on 'Potter,' we filmed a shot outside the Dursleys', which was my first ever shot as Harry. I was nervous, and he made me feel at ease.
"Seven years later, we embarked on 'Equus' together. It was my first time doing a play, but, terrified as I was, his encouragement, tutelage and humor made it a joy."
Earlier, Griffiths was the louche, lecherous Uncle Monty to Richard E. Grant's character Withnail in "Withnail and I," a low-budget British comedy about two out-of-work actors that has become a cult classic. Years after its 1987 release, Griffiths said people would regularly shout Monty's most famous lines at him in the street.
"My beloved 'Uncle Monty' Richard Griffiths died last night," Grant tweeted Friday. "Chin-Chin my dear friend."
A huge stage presence with a grace rendered all the more striking by his physical bulk, Griffiths created roles including the charismatic teacher Hector at the emotional heart of Alan Bennett's school drama "The History Boys." He won an Olivier Award for the part in London and a Tony for the Broadway run, and repeated his performance in the 2006 film adaptation.

★ 09/15/2013Economist Tyler (former Clinton administration deputy asst. Treasury secretary and World Bank advisor) claims that over the last 30 years, productivity and corporate profits have soared in the United States while income levels have stagnated or fallen. To explain why, Tyler compares American "shareholder capitalism" to the "family capitalism" practiced in Australia and Northern Europe, which focuses on increasing the long-term value of businesses for their shareholders and employees. In the post-World War II economic boom (1945–80), a period the author labels the Golden Age, there was an implicit social contract in the United States by which government policy, management, and organized labor worked together to link higher profits and rising productivity with increased wages to ensure that all Americans benefited. Since 1980, Tyler writes, this social contract has been shredded; U.S. politicians and businesses have harmed the population with benefit cuts, deregulation, wage givebacks, and tax policies that transfer wealth from the middle class to the top one percent. VERDICT Tyler's timely and convincing book confirms what Americans feel in their bones: the economy is rigged against them and something is definitely wrong.—Duncan Stewart, Univ. of Iowa Libs., Iowa City

OH, good to know. I did not think I would make a decision so quick but it seems like a hands down winner for what I want and need. I guess I could go either way on the round. I already have a .380 so I would not need different ammo but the 9mm is a little more abundant. Not like I do all that much shooting anyway but I like cheap ammo for plinking and a 9mm is a great plinking gun. I will have to compare ammo price. I am not as concerned with bullet energy. If one does not do it, there are 9 eager friends waiting in the clip
"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound." L. Neil Smith The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things... "I crapped my pants to avoid the draft!!" -Ted Nugent
again, this is just a last resort piece that I should never need. because I would jog with it, every ounce counts. If it was used, it would literally be at point blank range. I do undertand what you are saying but I just do not want to carry something heavy. there are no reliable .22lr autos? I have spend thousands of rounds in a 10/22 since I was a kid so I have a good idea what a 22 will do. At the very least, if it makes someone run the other way, it did the job. I have many other pieces if I am really worried about business.
The ruger 10/22 is an odball as it is prolly the only nearly 100% reliable 22lr. If your going to carry, carry a piece that has a chance of doing the job. That rules out anything short of 380acp. It is not a good idea to shoot to scare. Or intentionally carry a non-effective weapon to wound. It will come out in trial or investigation.
So, since i picked up my Bersa 380, my sister has been borrowing it, my brother-in-law has offered to buy it for her and asked where he can get one for carry and how much it costs several times. (The shop had another Thunder 380 in duotone for $250 NIB) Now my nephew's fiancee is wanting one. They are good-looking, contagious little guns. I think it is the weight and size and comfortable grip. There are some grips and mags and such at this place: Your one-stop shop for all things Bersa and Firestorm I did pick up a 9 round mag (looks nice) and a mag loader. If you decide on a itty bitty .22 for jogging, consider one of the lil revolvers, fewer feed issues. http://www.naaminis.com/bwmm.html This one can be fitted with an integral holster-type thingy.
Dead Bears, the only good kind.
Thanks for the info. I will have to do some thinking on my little ankle biter. I somewhat agree with the above that the .22 is not exactly a show stopper but it might be better than nothing. I just know if I carry too much weight, especially on my ankle, I will hate it and won't take it with me.

Harrison Ford Reportedly Taken To Hospital After Plane Crash
Harrison Ford was involved in a plane crash near a Los Angeles golf course on Thursday afternoon, according to multiple reports.The Los Angeles Times reports that the plane crashed at the Penmar Golf Course in Venice and according to TMZ, Ford was taken to the hospital following the incident. The Los Angeles Fire Department confirmed that the plane's solo occupant was transported to a local hospital in critical condition. There were no other injuries.
TMZ was the first to report that Ford was piloting the plane, and NBC reports that Ford sustained serious injuries, including cuts to his head. "There was blood all over his face," a Penmar Golf Course employee told NBC News.
Ford is a seasoned pilot, and was reportedly flying a vintage World War II-era plane. NFL's Andrew Siciliano tweeted a photo from the golf course:

A method has been developed that uses weather-type analysis as a tool to spatially disaggregate GCM predictions to make them useful for water resource studies. The method has been applied to the Delaware River basin to predict the effects of doubling atmospheric carbon dioxide on precipitation patterns in the region. An application of the technique to the Delaware River basin indicates that future climate conditions will show minimal changes in weather-type frequency, implying that air circulation patterns will remain unchanged -from AuthorsAdditional Publication Details

Caroline Flack has spoken out against the critics of her relationship with One Direction's Harry Styles. The pair are rumoured to be "close" in spite of her being 15 years older than him.
Speaking to Now magazine, Xtra Factor presenter Caroline, 32, says there's nothing disgusting about a relationship with an age gap.
She said: "Some people tend to see the negative immediately and that's what I find really strange. If two people like each other and get on, why does anyone else find a negative in it? I know it's human nature for everyone to gossip. But why say it's bad? No one's being hurt at all in anyway.
"It's the age gap that's the story. What's hard for me to get my head around is people saying it's disgusting. I don't think it is."
Although she says the pair only have a close friendship he has been the mature one in offering advice.
Caroline has been threatened by teenage Harry's fans on Twitter.
She said: "It's a form of bullying from people who are hiding behind a computer. I knew they were just a minority of One Direction fans and all very young - it's a kind of fanatical obsession. I can't take it seriously or I'd never come out of my house.
"[Harry] told me, 'Don't listen to Twitter'. He became the mature one at that point. I was like, 'I know but it's still quite hurtful'. I try not to say anything back."

Save the Children
NEW YORK, NEW YORK (Voice of America) - As Haitians still struggle to survive from the devastating earthquake that struck in January, infant children are among the most vulnerable. Studies suggest poor nutrition early in life can lead to chronic diseases later. Malnourished infants are also very susceptible to diarrhea, measles and other diseases that can turn fatal. Twenty-year-old Daniela Luc is a new mother. She had her first child, a girl, one month ago here in the Daihatsu camp in Port-au-Prince. Daniela's mother is equally glad to show off her new granddaughter. Like 30 other mothers who have given birth in the camp since the earthquake, Daniela Luc will have quite a story to tell her daughter when she is older. "I will tell my daughter that she was born at a bad time, when there was an earthquake and she was born under a tent," she said. Nutrition experts are increasingly concerned about newborns living in tent cities. Studies show that good nutrition in the first 24 months of a child's life is critical to their development. And since the quake, there are concerns that child nutrition in Haiti has worsened. Kathryn Bolles is with the humanitarian group Save the Children. "One of the most life saving practices that a mother can do for her baby is breast feed immediately and exclusively. And Haiti has had a relatively low exclusive and immediate breast feeding rate prior to the earthquake," she said. Poor child nutrition in Haiti was common before the earthquake. Many families survived on one meal a day. The Haitian government and international NGOs have created what is known as the baby tent. The goal is to encourage and assist more mothers to breast feed their children. Julia Bonhonnette is a nutrition counselor in the Daihatsu camp's baby tent. "The problem we have is that mothers don't want to breast feed their baby. We advise them to breast feed because it is better for the baby. And if the mother still doesn't want to do it we provide artificial milk," she said. Kathryn Bolles says there are a number of reasons Haitian mothers fear breast feeding their babies after the earthquake. "And there were a number of them who felt like their milk had been damaged by the earthquake. Mothers who felt like their milk had become hot, or not enough of it. Or, impacted negatively and would actually cause harm to the babies," she said. The counselors work individually with those mothers to get them to breast feed. There are also nutritional problems with older children in the camps. Officials told us there are more than 11,000 people living here. Two thousand are children. This group of boys, all around 10 years old, say they usually eat one meal a day of rice or corn meal, no meat or vegetables. Nutritionist Jean Baker with the AED Center for Nutrition says that can be damaging for children about to enter the rapid growth period of adolescence. "Adolescence is another period where if you can, you want to be sure that you are providing good nutrition and good feeding. Because these kids are going to have a growth spirt then and if you can improve their nutritional situation, that will have an impact," she said. With so many people still out of work and no means to feed their family, proper nutrition is often impossible. Some children eat what they can pick off of trees. Camp officials told us food aid here is sporadic.

I did try ARC, but.............I just didn't trust it. It seemed to suspicious just sitting there in the background. A seriously worthless program.
Mainly when playing and NOT letting me shut it off while playing was a tip off. So I erased it.
I also just erased Pando a few minutes ago, after deciding to finely remove it after studying it, now I didn't restart my computer after I erased it, and my god. My computer has SPED UP!!
Even the game is looking better, brighter, better colours, no lag, graphics are clearer. Media booster my tail. It's dragging down memory and hard drive speed.
Even Firefox is back to normal. Every has returned to normal. No lag while surfing. No connection problems.
Mouse, keyboard are responding normally again, no sound problems, the hard drive isn't so active ( suspicious methinks on how it was always so active) and my internet connection has returned to normal. My computer has turned back from a evil ***** to a angel. I have my little girl back. =3
I'm no conspiracy freak, 30 years of computing so I know about spy programs and the such, but that's it. After seeing a before Pando and after, no more 3rd party add on's for me. If I need one to play, then I'm off.
Say what you want, I love this game, but I love my computer and my privacy more.
LTS Join Date : September 2010. Boldly going forward because Cryptic forgot reverse.
I am currenty unsupervised, anyone who knows me will inform you that this will likely lead to trouble.=3
