Students Change the World One Laugh at a Time!
Jan 26th
It's week two of The 365give Challenge. Once again the students participating in the pilot amazed everyone with their unique and creative ways to give every day. Bethany Lam Buckle is the teacher of the grade 5 class at Ecole Pauline Johnson that inspired her students to give this week. She came up with create ways to integrate the daily giving into her lesson plans. Class ingratiation included physical education, reading and presentation skills that brought everyone to tears of joy after 5 days of giving. Bethany shares her classes story of how they completed and fully embraced The 365give Challenge.
Monday: We had our regular gym period at the end of the day and our class decided to continue with our planned "Capture the Flag" game… but with an environmental twist. Students were to pick up a piece of garbage from the playground every time they were caught, and they even made up a rule that you couldn't just stay on your own side and not take a risk to avoid picking up garbage – you had to attempt for the flag at least once each minute. By the end of our game, the playground was spotless.
Tuesday: The students decided they wanted to read to the kindergarten classes. Each student was paired up with 2 or 3 kindergarten students and were able to read 4 or 5 books in English and in French. They were very happy to have us in their class and the two kindergarten teachers were very thankful! Many of our students commented after the reading session that they felt happy, good, and generous. They even said that the "kindies" showed their appreciation by giving them hugs and high fives!
Wednesday: The students brought in donations of money and pet food to donate to the BC-SPCA. We also announced that anyone else in the school wanting to contribute to our "give" would be appreciated as well. All of the donations totalled 116$! We thought that was pretty impressive since we only campaigned for one day!
Thursday: Our class walked over to Hollyburn House Senior's Centre. Every Thursday, there is a gentleman who leads a "Laughter Group". He was sick this week, so we subbed in for him, bringing our jokes, songs, costumes, funny faces, and funny stories. We started off with a few jokes and riddles, followed by songs and tongue twisters. The seniors were very appreciative of our visit and our efforts to make them laugh. One lady in particular thought that the purpose of our visit was to come and ask her questions about HER, when she soon realized that all of the "questions" being asked were silly ones! So we made sure we had a few minutes at the end of the session for a little greet and chat. The students had lots of fun and were talking about the "Laughter Group" the whole time we walked back to the school!
Friday: Our last day was kind of sad because the students didn't want to stop. However, they had saved a good one for last! They brought in books from home that they no longer read to donate to a Vancouver school in need. They had chosen this "give" because they really wanted to help others who were less fortunate than themselves for one of their gives. We've had many discussions this year already about how fortunate we are to live where we do, to have what we have. Not everyone is as fortunate. They were very proud of their act of giving, especially because it would benefit children of the same age. Again, we invited the rest of the school to donate books as well. With our class, other donations, and even a donation from Mme Boulet's library, we collected 2 big boxes full of books!
Thanks 365give for giving us this opportunity,
we are VERY excited about our second week!
A very special thank you to Bethany and her class for making
such a positive impact on the world.
If you would like your school to join The 365give Challenge for the Fall 2014 please contact us and let us help your students change the world one day at a time.
I Changed the World Today! The 365give Challenge 1st Week in Review
Jan 23rd
The 365give Challenge launched in two public schools in West Vancouver this past week. We couldn't wait to see how the students would chose to give every day, what their impact on the world would be and what they learned along the way. The results were astounding. Sarah Fee, teacher of grade 6 students at Ecole Pauline Johnson was the first class to complete a week of daily giving. She tells a clear story of each give and how the students embraced The 365give Challenge. The weekly recap has been completed in both English and French as Pauline Johnson is a French immersion school and we are thrilled The 365give Challenge is being taught in both English and French. Bonne Chance to the other classes working on The 365give Challenge in the coming weeks and we look forward to hearing your stories.
Day # 1
We began the week by watching 'The Trash Vortex" video on YouTube and a large discussion surrounding the carbon foot print that we are leaving on the planet. We then decided to do our first "give" to the 'environment' and people which was to take over Mlle Fisher's class' garbage clean up. The students have never been so passionate about picking up garbage before because they knew they were doing it to help out the school and do a job for their "senior" peers. All accept one student said "they felt great doing this for others". Mlle Fisher's class gave them a huge "Merci" and even made our class a card to show their appreciation.
Day # 2
Our "give" today was to 'people', where students had to give a special note or letter to someone in the class or school and tell them why they appreciated them. They all, of course loved this one as they got a 'free pass' to give a note for the day. All of them said "this is fun and said they all felt happy after both receiving and giving the notes". Many of them asked at our weekly class meeting if we could "do this every day"
Day #3
Our class' "give" today was to 'animals' and 'people', where during our computer block, I gave students animal websites (suggested by the 365 give team) as well as one to help combat famine in the world called Free Rice suggested by some of the students. We all had a great time learning how to help and giving various "gives". On free rice you are able to see how many grains of rice you have helped to earn for a community that is in need. We even had one student who earned 3000 in 30 minutes! At the end of the lesson he said to me, "Madame, I gave a lot today and I feel really good". The following day, many students had followed up with the websites at home and told me that they had brought their scores up to 10 000 grains of rice that they had donated. Another student took a particular interest in an animal cruelty story and wanted students in the class to sign a petition to put the people responsible for the cruelty in prison. He was very passionate about this and had many students in the class sign his petition and wanted the story brought forth to Mme Trudeau and Mr. Parslow so they could make other students and teachers aware of these issues.
Day #4
Today was our last day of our trial week of 365, though I definitely think that after all we've learned, that it won't be our last. Today we "gave" to 'animals', 'people' and 'the environment'. Firstly, we did a "meat free Thursday" where most students brought a meatless lunch (unless pre ordered hot lunch). We also held a bake sale with all proceeds going to those victims of the typhoon in the Philippines in which all students participated and raised $292.60 cents and then after all items were sold, many students donated some of their own money to bring the total up to $302.60. We also did our weekly recycling for the school that is part of our everyday week but helping out our school and environment nonetheless.
Day #5
Professional Development Day everyone had the day off school.
We had an action packed week and loved every minute of it! Good luck to all of you.
Journée #1
Nous avons commencé la semaine en regardant «Trash Vortex» vidéo sur YouTube qui était suive par une grande discussion sur l'empreinte de carbone que nous laissons sur la planète. Nous avons alors décidé de faire notre premier «donner» à 'l'environnement' et avait pris la responsabilité de la classe de Mlle Fisher à faire leurs nettoyage du terrain. Les étudiants n'ont jamais été aussi passionnés de ramassage des déchets avant parce qu'ils savaient qu'ils faisaient pour aider l'école et faire un travail pour leurs amis «seniors». Tout accepter un élève ont dit "ils me sentaient très bien le faire pour les autres ». La classe de Mlle Fisher leur a donné un énorme" Merci "et a même fait une carte pour notre classe pour montrer leur appréciation.
Journée #2
Notre "donner" pour aujourd'hui a été pour les «personnes», où les étudiants devaient donner une note particulière ou une lettre à quelqu'un dans la classe ou à l'école et leur dire pourquoi ils les appréciaient. Ils ont tous, bien sûr adoré celui-ci comme ils ont obtenu un «free pass» pour donner les notes pour la journée. Tous ont dit "c'est amusant et ont dit qu'ils se sentaient tous heureux après tant recevoir et de donner les notes". Beaucoup d'entre eux ont demandé pendant notre réunion de classe, si nous pouvions "faire chaque jour".
Journée #3
Notre " donner " pour aujourd'hui était pour les «animaux » et les «personnes», où lors de notre bloc de l'ordinateur, j'ai donné aux étudiants les sites-web d'animaux (proposées par l'équipe de donner 365) ainsi que l'un pour aider à combattre la famine dans le monde appelé www.freerice.com suggéré par certains élèves. Nous avons tous bien aime apprendre comment aider et donner de divers "donne". Au site-web www.freerice.com, vous êtes capable de voir combien de grains de riz que vous avez aidé à gagner pour une communauté qui est dans le besoin. Nous avons même eu un étudiant qui a obtenu 3000 en 30 minutes! A la fin de la leçon, il m'a dit : «Madame, j'ai donné beaucoup de choses aujourd'hui et je me sens vraiment bien ". Le lendemain, de nombreux étudiants ont suivi avec les sites Web chez eux et m'ont dit qu'ils avaient apporté leurs scores jusqu'à 10 000 grains de riz.
Un autre étudiant a pris un intérêt particulier, dans une histoire de cruauté envers les animaux et voulait les élèves de la classe de signer une pétition pour mettre les personnes responsables de la cruauté en prison. Il était très passionné à ce sujet et a eu de nombreux élèves de la classe de signer sa pétition et voulait passe l'histoire à Mme Trudeau et M. Parslow afin qu'ils puissent faire d'autres élèves et les enseignants au courant de ces concernes.
Journee # 4
Aujourd'hui, c'était notre dernier jour de notre semaine pilot de 365, mais je pense vraiment que, après tout ce que nous avons appris, que ce ne sera pas notre dernière. Aujourd'hui notre "donné" c'était pour les «animaux», les «personnes» et «l'environnement». Tout d'abord, nous avons fait un «jeudi sans de la viande" où la plupart des étudiants ont apporté un diner sans viande (sauf pré commandé diner-chaud). Nous avons également organisé une vente de pâtisseries/buiscuits et toutes les fondes rammasse c'était pour les victimes du typhon aux Philippines dans lequel tous les élèves ont participé et ont soulevé 292,60$ et puis après tous les patisseries ont été vendus, de nombreux étudiants ont donné une partie de leur propre argent pour porter le total à 302,60$! Que j'était fiere! Nous avons aussi fait notre recyclage pour l'école qui fait partie de notre semaine tous les jours mais pour aider notre école et de l'environnement de même.
Nous avons eu une semaine remplie d'action et nous avons adoré chaque minute! Bonne chance à vous tous.
A special thank you to Sarah and her class for starting the 365give Challenge off with such a large impact to so many. Congratulations on being a new generation of change makers!
The Science of Giving by Stephen Post
Jan 10th
Guest Post by Stephen Post Ph.D. Author Why Good Things Happen to Good People
Ebenezer Scrooge begins The Christmas Carol with a "Bah humbug!"
He is both miserly and miserable. As the story unfolds, he eventually discovers the "giver's glow," as I like to call it. He is dancing on the streets in his new found generosity of heart. A glow stick is a translucent plastic tube containing substances that when combined make light through a chemical reaction. After the glass capsule in the plastic casing is broken, it glows. The brokenness is part of the process. Give and glow. Scrooge discovered this at last.
Rt. 80 out west shoots a little under Montana, where old Walter Breuning seemed to grasp this basic truth from early in life. Born in 1896, Walter, the world's oldest man and a retired railroad clerk who lived in three centuries, died at age 114 on April 13, 2011, in Great Falls, where he had lived since 1918. Even as his health began to decline in the two years before his death, he is described as a cheerful soul. "He had that generosity of spirit in him," said his pastor, the Rev. Terry Turner of the local 1st United Methodist Church. Rev. Turner shared a prayer with Walter just an hour before the supercentenarian died. Walter's parents died at ages 50 and 46, and four siblings lived to be 78, 85, 91 and 100. He had a fine memory. He ate only two meals a day, and never ate supper or at night. He had a big breakfast with a lot of fruit, and lunch. He claimed he "drank water all the time." He arose at 6:15 each morning. Walter recommended that people work as long as they can. He worked his entire career on the railroad until he officially retired but in fact he kept working until he was 99. Another life lesson was this: "The more you do for others, the better shape you're in." He also had lots of friends at Rainbow Senior Living. A celebrity in his old age who was interviewed widely, Walter was plain spoken and urged people to work hard and to be kind to each other. (From articles in The Great Falls Tribune.com, Great Falls, Montana. Of special interest was Richard Ecke's "World's Oldest Man Brightened Others' Lives to the End," 15 April 2011.)
This is all part of the great perennial philosophy that Aldous Huxley described. As Emerson understood it when he wrote,
"No man [or woman] can sincerely help another without helping himself."
Or as Oscar Wilde put it, echoing Plato,
"To be good is to be in harmony with oneself."
Thoreau wrote,
"Goodness is the only investment that never fails."
Proverbs 11:25 reads,
"Those who refresh others are themselves refreshed."
While most people already know this from experience, there are some fMRI studies of the brain showing that planning a donation activated the mesolimbic pathway, which is associated with increased dopamine (one of four natural happiness chemicals). Helping others directly triggered activity in the caudate nucleus and anterior cingulate, portions of the brain that turn on when people experience happiness. No wonder, then, that old St. Nick (a.k.a. "Santa Claus") is always laughing and cheerful as he gives out his gifts. And no wonder that most of us actually do take a little more joy in giving gifts than in receiving them. In the end, the brain science is not terribly surprising, although it does confirm the obvious.
Is it really more blessed to give than to receive?
Do benevolent people experience higher levels of mental well-being? Are they healthier, and do they live longer? Increasingly, mainstream scientists are studying kindly, charitable interest in others, and the behaviours that go along with it, to find out whether there are associated health benefits. More significant relevant than brain science is the 2010 Do Good Live Well Survey, released by United Healthcare and VolunteerMatch surveyed 4,500 American adults. 41 percent of Americans volunteered an average of 100 hours a year. 68 percent of those who volunteered reported that volunteering made them feel physically healthier. In addition,
- · 89% report that "volunteering has improved my sense of well-bring"
- · 73% agree that "volunteering lowered my stress levels"
- · 92% agree that volunteering enriched their sense of purpose in life
- · 72% characterize themselves as "optimistic" compared to 60% of non-volunteers
- · 42% of volunteers report a "very good" sense of meaning in their lives, compared with 28% of non-volunteers
- · 96% said volunteering made them "feel happier"
If any compound could be invented to even come close to these results that manufacture would make trillions of dollars, because in truth of fact there are no existing mood drugs that make anything like this much of an impact.

Bobby is a Pony
After not being to get down off of Merlin without help I woke up last Sunday REALLY reluctant to ride him. I couldn't get Shannon on the phone to tell her I had to switch to someone shorter for the summer, so I took two bridles and three girths out to the farm. Luckily I got there before Shannon had caught Merlin and she cheerfully agreed to let me ride Bobby, her British Riding Pony, who had been donated to her program because he had had ulcers. Turning…

5,492 Taylor Landing, TX Home Improvement Pros

The refrigerator may be the most important appliance in your home. There are many different models to choose from at Appliances Connection, including top freezer models, compact refrigeration, side-by-side fridges, and French-Door refrigerators, in a variety of colors, sizes, and price.
Appliances Connection carries top brands in refrigeration, like Frigidaire, GE, and Samsung. If you have any questions or need help choosing the right fridge or freezer for your home, contact us at 800-299-9470.
While family size and lifestyle is important in choosing which refrigerator is right for you, here are a few factors to consider before purchasing:
How much storage do you need? Besides width and height, analyze your eating habits. Do you host people frequently? Or do you eat out most nights? For the best comparison, the average family of four uses around 18 to 25 cubic feet of refrigeration.
There is a wide range of styles of refrigerators to choose from, each with advantages and disadvantages.
Top Freezer Refrigerator: If you are looking for a discount refrigeration, a top freezer model would be your best bet. Its compact size is perfect for a smaller home or apartment and is the most common in households.
Size-by-Side Refrigerator: Modern and stylish with a great amount of storage; however, shelving can be narrow. Generally, the fridge takes up two-thirds of the space.
Bottom Freezer Refrigerator: Bottom freezer refrigerators are perfect for a person looking for the maximum level of convenience. While it�s designed to limit the need to bend over for the most-used food item, the drawer-like function of the freezer can lead to frozen storage issues.
French Door Refrigerators: Similar to a bottom freezer model, except the doors open from the center. Appealing and complementary for most kitchen designs, it�s not hard to see why it�s the current trend in refrigeration.
Today�s refrigerators don�t just keep your food fresh; they have features like water dispensing and moisture control. Additionally, many models now have adjustable and spill-proof shelving.
The more efficient your refrigerator is, the less it costs to operate � and the more money in your pocket. Models such as ENERGY STAR� refrigerators consume almost 40 percent less energy than a standard refrigerator.
Appliances Connection offers free nationwide in-home delivery, no sales tax, and full manufacturer warranties on all brand new refrigerators. We can even haul your old fridge away.

Questions & Answers
"Hi, what is the color of this dresser?" asked by Cheryl
Magnussen Cameron 6 Drawer Dresser
Beautiful! Stephanie from Arlington, VA– Verified Buyer It is cream colored, very nice. The panel behind the latice is removable and reversable with a nice green on the other side. They also include another set of panels that have pink and blue on either side. Forgot to mention that in the nightstand review. Came all assembled except for the legs. It is *heavy* and I couldn't figure out how to remove the drawers to make it lighter. Be sure to pay for someone to bring it inside. It is also extremely well packaged, don't think you're going to unpack it in a couple minutes :) I just gave all the packing stuff away on Craigslist, the best way to recycle! The pulls are acrylic but still very pretty. I very pleased. |
Beautiful dresser Jennifer from Chicago, IL– Verified Buyer I paired this with the Arts & Crafts Queen Panel Bed in White and it's great. They complement each other nicely. The dresser came almost fully assembled, so you WILL need help if you have any stairs to navigate. The drawers don't exactly line up with the opening (if you really look closely you can see some tiny gaps), but pretty sure nobody else notices this. The drawers glide nicely and are finished inside (no rough wood to snag clothes). |
Darling Design! Natalie from Alabama– Verified Buyer Love the darling design on the dresser. It was perfect for our daughter's new room. Great quality and easy assembly. We purchased the matching nightstands and writing desk as well. The room looks fantastic! |
Designer Angela from Thomasville, NC– Verified Buyer This si a fun dresser that is great in my daughters room. The color is more off white than white, which was a little disapointing, otherwise as pictured. |

There will be no recovery as long as oil is above 70.

There will be no recovery as long as oil is above 70.
If oil prices rise, I'll just drive a bit less - cut trips to the mall - and spend less there. As for spending $20k to save $500/year on gasoline, nope, not a good deal. I can wait for "Cash for Clunkers II".
I'm not worried about commodity prices. I have noticed that on the stock selling shows they reccommend having commodities in one's portfolio. Let's see how this works out, probably as well as "you can afford more spend more on a house because interest rates are low" a few years ago.
Let's see what happens to house prices as the interest rate on the 10 year bond continues its upward climb.
Let's get the hot money out of commodities futures. Leave them to producers and consumers who have real insurable interests, and market-makers who can use naked derivatives only to the extent necessary to do their jobs.
"Meanwhile, equities, commodities, and interest rates have all ticked upward in recent weeks, a fairly good indicator that markets are increasingly confident about the state of recovery."
Or that the liquidity that the Fed is creating is bulging out over the sides and fueling speculation in these markets.

I. Introduction
This short extract gives you a taste of your personal "Career and Vocation" horoscope by Liz
Greene. The small samples taken from various chapters convey an impression of the complete
vocation horoscope (18-25 pages) which can be
ordered as an E-Horoscope or a bound book in the AstroShop.
When we are children, people say to us, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" At that age, we
usually have dreams. When we are children, we are still capable of hearing the voice of the soul.
As we grow older, the questions change. There is no longer time for dreaming; we must now "face
reality" and think about how to survive in the big, bad old world.
This astrological report is about your vocation. It is meant to help you get a sense of what you
might be good at and what might be good for you, so that your working life has a meaning as well
as a pay cheque.
II. How You See the World
This chapter briefly describes your personal perspective on life and explains how you can best
express this in your career.
III. Your aptitudes and strengths
This chapter, which contains 8-10 pages, is one of the most comprehensive sections in the "Career
and Vocation" horoscope. Here is a short selection of three samples from the numerous aptitudes
described in the complete report.
An honest and realistic understanding of your fundamental strengths can help you to orientate
yourself in the world and put your energy into areas where you can hope to shine and achieve at
least many of your most cherished goals.
[..] You
might work well within the fields of education or the law, as long as you can find a niche where
you are not perpetually bombarded by questionable ethics or narrow perspectives. You have a
strongly devotional quality which necessitates your finding a field of work in [...]
[..] You have a powerful
reasoning capacity which can give shape to your intuitions and feelings, and your accurate reading
of others is combined with the ability to formulate your perceptions through theories and
intellectual structures. Psychology and medicine are both fields [...]
[..] You love learning, although this is likely to be
more experiential than academic; and you quickly "use up" people, places, and ideas, absorbing the
gist of what is important and then looking around to see what else you can focus your interest and
imagination on. Whether your [...]
IV. Know Your Limits
This chapter describes your personal limitations and suggests how you can deal with these in your
professional life. In the complete horoscope, this chapter is about 5-7 pages in length.
Please click here to read a complete sample report
Recognising your innate limitations can help you to focus your energy in the right direction and
get the maximum fulfilment from your work.
[..] But if your
rejection of mundane values is too extreme, you can cause yourself many problems in terms of
security and the ability to anchor your vision in solid forms. This does not imply that you should
become something you are not. Money for its own sake is unlikely to [...]
[..] Yet you may hang back,
fearing isolation and feeling vaguely guilty if you achieve more recognition or material rewards
than less fortunate souls. This guilt about "having" more than others, although it may reflect
your very genuine compassion for those who have suffered [...]
V. Working with Others
The two final chapters of "Career and Vocation" deal with the way you work together with your
colleagues in your everyday working life, and what success means to you personally.
One of the most important factors to consider in terms of your direction in life is how you work
with others. Everyone has his or her own style of relating in the working environment; everyone
has different needs and requirements.
VI. What Success Really Means to You
When people speak of "success", they generally mean a position of importance in the world's eyes,
or a job that yields lots of money and all the material pleasures and comforts that implies. But
success, in terms of the deeper issue of vocation, is a highly individual thing that means
different things to different people.

Transition Process to Community Based Employment
We have started the transition process (something that is not offered by many of the voucher schools or guaranteed under the special needs voucher) for assisting my son Tyler with achieving his employment goal of community based, competitive wage employment. We met with the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) late in the school year and in the last week; we have met with a supported employment agency that will assist the school with creating some job experiences. What impressed my wife when we were scheduling the meeting is that DVR insisted that Tyler be a part of the process, not his parents making the decision for him. Since this is a plan for the individual, it is vitaly important that they are present and part of the process.

As previously reported, Lauren Conrad and Audrina Patridge are set to guest start on the May 3rd episode of Family Guy.
Now, thanks to People magazine, we have a first look at LC as a cartoon. And she's still hot!
The tabloid has a picture of Conrad posing alonside "cast mates" Stewie and Brian in a hilarious take on a classic The Hills promotional shot, one that featured LC, Audrina and Whitney Port. Enjoy:
As far as LC's role on the cartoon, the show's creator Seth MacFarlane teased: "She dates Brian for an episode."
Of course, we all know this is just a cover, as the dog is just jealous that his ex-girlfriend is getting married.

Soy Sauce Warrior Kikkoman
This submission is currently being researched & evaluated!
You can help confirm this entry by contributing facts, media, and other evidence of notability and mutation.
About the character
Kikkoman corporation, Kikkōman Kabushiki-gaisha) is an international company based in Japan.
Founded in 1917, it is based in Noda, Chiba Prefecture, Japan.
Its main products and services include soy sauce, food seasoning and flavoring, Mirin, shōchū, and sake, Juice and other beverages, pharmaceuticals, and restaurant management services.
(source : Wikipedia)
Soy Sauce Warrior Kikkoman (醤油戦士キッコーマン, Shōyu Senshi Kikkōman) -- or just "Kikkoman" (キッコーマン, Kikkōman) as most people know him -- is a superhero based on that sauce trademark, usually depicted as a muscle man, almost entirely naked, with a fish-shaped head.
2ch creation and the first flash animation
According to the wikipedia article, Soy Sauce Warrior Kikkoman was first drawn in Shift-JIS, the same way all other 2ch characters were drawn at that time, in the early 2000s.
While there isn't, sadly, any archive from that particular period, here is, here a 2005 2ch thread showing how he is supposed to look like in Shift-JIS :
What is certain, however, is a fixed date. In September 2002, an user called Yogatori hosted, on his previous website first based on tripod.jp then infoseek.jp (both of them have been deleted) and finally his own website, a flash animation he made, entitled Fight ! Kikkoman !.
Here is a youtube video from it :
A first Japanese version exists that he has then translated into not-so-perfect English.
It basically describes the life of Soy Sauce Warrior kikkoman, promoting the use of the sauce trademark in a funny and musical way, picturing him fighting condiments and various types of food.
From that animation, one of the earliest mentions on 2ch BBS can be found here, the 5th of September 2002.
Spread to the Westerner's web
In November the 16th 2002, Metafilter user XQUZYPHYR posted a link to the tripod.jp animation, saying that it was first found and linked by Tom Tomorrow.
By the comments ensuing as well as the title, many saw it as the new "Mr.Sparkle", a reference to the Simpson's In Marge we trust episode.
In the process, Yogatori made a sequel to his first animation called Banana and Shrimp showtime !.
Up to these days, Soy Sauce Warrior Kikkoman has been acknowledged by a great variety of non-Japanese speaking websites :
- French website referencing it
- Featured on I-am-bored.com
- Spanish blog talking about it
- Referencing it in a English Amiga Board thread
- Having a remix song featured on a Russian website
- Featured on albinosblacksheep
On the western web, Kikkoman is more well-known for his nickname : Kikkomaso. This is an intentional error in writing the name as it is rendered in Japanese katakana, the character for 'n' (ン) is very similar to the character for 'so' (ソ), and, much like in many American internet communities, the intentionally-misspelled version came to be used for ironic effect.
Cross-over with another meme : Magibon
Magibon, in one of her videos, featured the kikkoman warrior character, by filming her watching the initial Fight ! Kikkoman ! animation and doing some other stuff :

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Oz prepares to pay Afghanistan 'bill'
BRISBANE -- The first ripples of what is shaping up as a mental health tsunami were felt in Australia Wednesday when a young soldier used talk radio to confront Prime Minister Julia Gillard about her support for Afghanistan War veterans.
The decade-long conflict is coming to an end Down Under. Most troops are set to return home at the end of the year as the multinational base, Tarin Kowt in Uruzgan province, is handed over to local soldiers in 2014.
Whether or not the war was a "success" will be a matter largely for historical debate. What will be its more tangible legacy is the hundreds, and possibly thousands, of young men and women left with deep mental scars.
Post-traumatic-stress disorder is not new to this nation. Thousands of "diggers" (Aussie for soldiers) exited both world wars with nervous disorders vaguely bundled into a condition labelled "shell shock.''
It wasn't until Vietnam, where some 500 Australian diggers lost their lives, that the mental agony of modern warfare became the subject of more formal diagnosis, and the massive cost to society of damaged young men was recognized.
On Wednesday, the national broadcaster, the ABC, carried the story of "Adam," an Afghanistan War vet with PTSD who rang the PM during one of the her frequent talk-back radio segments.
"My experiences with DVA (department of veterans' affairs) is a very jagged field and nobody can give you direct answer of where you're going to be and where you'll end up, which adds to the stresses of the discharge process," he said.
Adam wanted to know what Gillard's plan was for returning men and women with problems, adding with some understatement.
"Because they are going to come back and things are going to be different for them."
Gillard said the government was working on the issue and suggested there were many good programs underway.
The extent of the problem is already being documented and it's developing across ranks.
A senior officer who served in the war, Maj.-Gen. John Cantwell who was national commander of Australian Defence Forces in Afghanistan, has spoken and written openly about his own battle with PTSD.
With three wars under his belt, including Desert Storm, Iraq and Afghanistan, Cantwell is widely recognized as the model of the modern professional soldier.
In his book Exit Wounds he tracks his path to a hospital's psychiatric ward with the sort of grotesque eloquence that brings alive the horrors of the "industrialized killing" that is modern warfare.
One image helping to propel his downward emotional spiral was a pair of tanks equipped with bulldozer blades plowing down either side of Iraqi trenches with the explicit purpose of burying the enemy, dead or alive.
"It was pretty brutal and it managed to kill by burial, alive and dead, hundreds, perhaps thousands of Iraqi soldiers,'' he told the ABC's current affairs program Lateline last September.
"A hand reaching out of the sand of a buried Iraqi was one of the images, the many images that I carried from that war.''
Cantwell is generous of his praise of Australian diggers whom he believes are motivated by a desire to bring a better life to the people of Afghanistan.
But, in what perhaps is the core of so much of the mental agony of the returning soldier, he admitted that when looking at a young soldier on a morgue slab he had dared asked himself the most difficult of all questions.
"Is that life worth it?"
A few prescriptions for Prozac won't fix what lies ahead.
Australia has lost 40 people in the conflict. But the bills for the war in Afghanistan will continue to roll in for decades.

Suno Fall 2012
>> Suno has always been about print. Even before the current print craze, cofounders Max Osterweis and Erin Beatty drew upon Osterweis's Kenyan roots and extensive collection of vintage Kenyan fabrics to produce pieces that were bright, cheerful, and eclectic. The collection has matured since those early days, and this season's offering showcased what was perhaps the brand's most polished aesthetic yet. Joyful florals and graphic stripes were rendered on military-tinged jackets, tailored pants, and slim-lined skirts. The result? A bold — and, ultimately, super-appealing — collection.

Henry Stam picked up the first individual qualifying leg of the season for the Los Alamos Hilltopper boys golf team Monday.
The Hilltoppers took part in the two-day Española Valley Invitational. Monday's opening round was played at Towa Golf Course near Pojoaque and Tuesday's second round was at Black Mesa Golf Course in Española.
The two rounds were the first two of the spring season for Los Alamos.
Overall, the Hilltoppers finished in fourth place, shooting a 693 team total on the two difficult courses.
The Los Alamos Hilltopper girls tennis team took fourth at Saturday's tournament among 10 competing teams.
Los Alamos was the host school at Saturday's tournament, although the tournament was played at Santa Fe High School.
Los Alamos finished with eight team points, placing them one point ahead of Santa Fe in fifth place.
Interestingly, all of the competing teams scored at least one point at the tournament.
Just three days after a big win, the Los Alamos Hilltopper softball team was on the wrong end of a big loss.
The Hilltoppers were dropped by the Albuquerque Academy Chargers 11-1 on the road Saturday in a nondistrict contest. The loss came on the heels of a 21-1 victory by the Hilltoppers over the Taos Tigers to open their District 2AAAA season.
Los Alamos will look to bounce back in an important 2AAAA game Wednesday. It travels south to take on the Bernalillo Spartans in a big early district-season meeting between the two squads.
Friday's baseball game between Los Alamos and Albuquerque Academy didn't want for big innings.
An 8-run fifth inning posted by the Los Alamos Hilltopper baseball team was countered by a 10-run sixth inning from the Academy Chargers.
The two teams combined for 35 runs Friday, but the Hilltoppers came up on the short end of an 18-17 extra-inning decision played at Bomber Field.
The Los Alamos Hilltopper boys tennis team grabbed a big victory at the Española Valley Invitational Saturday.
Los Alamos picked up 39 points in the invitational, which included 10 teams and was played at Capital High School in Santa Fe. Taos finished with 17 points to earn second place, while Farmington and Bosque School tied for third, picking up 15 points each.
The Los Alamos Atomic Tumblers level 7 team ended its competitive season on a high note Saturday.
The Atomic Tumblers took part in the optional level New Mexico State Gymnastics championships. Precision Gymnastics Academy in Albuquerque hosted the event with 32 level 7 gymnasts, representing nine teams, competed in four age divisions.
Performances at an optional meet are determined by the gymnasts, as opposed to compulsory meets, which showcase preset routines.
LAS CRUCES — New Mexico State head football coach DeWayne Walker announced the Aggies' 2009 schedule Tuesday.
In 2009, the Aggies face six bowl teams from the 2008 season, as well as the two rivalry games and a Big Ten opponent.
The door looks pretty wide open heading into the 2009 District 2AAAA baseball season.
And going into today's 2AAAA opener against Taos, the Los Alamos Hilltoppers are hoping to be the ones that walk through.
Only four wins separate four of the five schools in 2AAAA heading into the district's opening day today. The Capital Jaguars, the fifth team, are being shut out in the win column in 2009.
Today's game at Taos is scheduled for 4 p.m.
The 2009 softball season in northern New Mexico takes a big turn starting today and the Los Alamos Hilltoppers hope they can catch that corner correctly.
The Hilltoppers open their District 2AAAA season on the road today against the Taos Tigers.
Los Alamos has high hopes of competing for the district title this season, but it's not likely to be a cakewalk. Los Alamos will have to compete with the Española Valley Sundevils, the two-time defending district champions.
Here are Los Alamos' results from Saturday's Rio Rancho Chile Challenge.
Team scores
1. Rio Rancho, 177; 2. Los Alamos, 173; 3. Moriarty, 68.
3200 meters
3. Elizabeth Brug, 12:53.00; 6. Annie Saeger, 14:08.00; Victoria Espinoza, 15:49.00.

2. Los Alamos A (Jessica Stokes, Amelia Weaver, Emily Weeks, Lindsay Benage), 52.12; 4. Los Alamos B (Kristen Stokes, Adrienne Leyba, Tamra Roybal, Kyra Roybal), 56.61.

Israel hits more than 300 Hamas targets in Gaza: army
Published on Jul 10, 2014 9:19 AM
JERUSALEM (AFP) - The Israeli air force hit more than 300 Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip overnight in response to rocket fire from the besieged Palestinian territory, an army spokesman said on Thursday.
"We aimed at 322 targets in Gaza overnight, taking to 750 the total number of Hamas targets hit by the army since the start (on Tuesday) of Operation Protective Edge," Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner told journalists in a telephone conference.
Among the targets hit were rocket-launching sites of Hamas's armed wing the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, as well as tunnels used by the group and Hamas command posts, Lerner said.
He warned that a ground assault was still being considered.

Not too many years ago, the bus I took most often was the 48, also known as "Forty-late," "Dr. 48" and "the Tiger Woods* of the system." I rode it south to Judkins Park (NAAM), Columbia City (dentist/homegirl), and Rainier Beach (friend visits), north to 23rd & Union (church, beauty shop), Montlake (545 transfer), the U District (pseudo-intellectual/artistic coffee joints, various readings and events), and Green Lake (Friday play dates).

Well, well, well
(104 Posts)I've just bought a house with shared access. This is not a problem as such as the neighbour and I have equal access through each others gardens and providing the gate is closed it shouldn't affect my children's safety.
However, our utility room opens out into their garden and we will obviously use this door most of the time for convenience when bringing a pram through. The big problem is that to the side of their house they have a well. It is surrounded by a low wall but I don't yet know if it is covered. For my own sanity I will need to ask them to cover it but I do not know if I have any rights to. And knowing children as I do there will be an inbuilt fascination regarding the well so just telling them not to go near it will not be enough.
This has already given me a few sleepless nights and I have already unwittingly upset the neighbour by accidently blocking her right of way (long story) so I do not want to get into any further strife but for the sake of my children I need to address this well situation. I am a little concerned that the neighbour is a bit difficult and may refuse to cover the well hence my worry.
How do I find out about my rights regarding the well? And AIBU to ask them to cover the well? Any pointers would be helpful.
Didn't you know or ask about the well before you bought the house?
You can ask but if they say no you wont be able to do a lot about it.
Just ask if it is covered and if they say no ask if they would mind if you paid to have a cover made for it.
You can ask and pay for any cover, but I very much doubt you have any rights in that regard.
We had no idea bout the well until after we bought the house. The couple put theirs on the market shortly after we bought ours and we saw it on the particulars. They have so ce decided not to sell and are staying. We haven't moved in yet so we are still unsure of how things will work out.
Can I ask, what did you think would happen with the well when you viewed the property? Did you not have some sort of cunning plan in mind?
I'd ask them if they would allow me to cover it and fence it off.
I'm assuming they don't need it for anything?
I doubt you have any rights if its private property.
You should offer to organise and pay for the well to be covered, because you are the one who wants it done after buying the house knowing that it was there, and that you have young children.
X-post, OP.
I think there is a law which states you have to make your property safe even for those not invited onto it?? (sorry, v vague) would obviously use the law as a last resort but sure that would be covered?
The well is not obvious from just looking around so we didn't know it was even there. I think it would have made me think twice to be honest.
Um... can't you just keep the door locked and put a high bolt on the gate? You could somehow put a combination lock on the gate so that your neighbours have access.
If you want her to put a cover on it, you will need to pay.
Why move into a house with a well if you have young kids?
How can you not see a well if you inspect a property thoroughly?
If it was my well I wouldn't hesitate in getting it covered if I knew children would be near it. I hope your neighbour turns out to be as reasonable.
Damn bamboo please read the thread. The well is not obvious and it is in their part of the garden which i was not shown as i was not buying their house. I did not know it was there.
Is it a real well or an ornamental one?
Ho ho ho thank you for your reply. It seems that asking a question unleashes a need in people to insinuate that I'm a complete idiot.
Moomin, it's real unfortunately.
Shared access with young children sounds a nightmar
What if teenagers live there in the future who don't shut the gate ?
I did read the thread and I'm not trying to be rude or insinuate you're an idiot. You said you have access through each others gardens, and that the well is at the side of the house... unless it's at the other side of the house (where you're kids shouldn't ever be anyway) , I would have thought it would have been obvious, but I can't picture what you're saying.
Could be ornamemtal? There's one in a front garden on my road, filled with soil and plants.
Maybe not ask them to cover it but put a metal grid, strong enough to weight bear, in just below top? Boxed in may look unsightly to them but a safety grid out of sight unless next to it may be accpetable compromise?
Move the utility door to open to your garden? Would you still need to cross their land? Would the dc ever be unattended in their garden?
I agree with cloudsandtrees, offer to pay for it to be covered - that's all you can do really
I would have a chat with them and tell them how worried you are. They may not have even thought about the saftey aspect, when you point it out they could say they will cover it. I'd offer to pay for the cover.
If they aren't reasonable then I would go to the CAB. They are very good at dealing with this kind of thing. They'll beable to tell you what you'd be allowed to do re somehow blocking off their garden from yours.
We have a huge pond with three little kids - if you buy wire fencing, or chicken wire and secure it over the top and sides, it will be secure. Hopefully they will agree to this, unfortunately for you, they don't have to.
Good luck.

Taste Test: Wonka's Whimsical Ice Cream Flavors
Browsing down the ice cream aisle, you can't help but notice Wonka's new ice cream flavors. First off, they're upside down to resemble Willy Wonka's notorious top hat. Secondly, the bright, swirly design is ultra psychedelic and lures you closer to the freezer door. With silly flavor names like Kernelpuff Caramelstuff and Kerfuffle Truffle, the mixes are equal parts exotic and whimsical, which is to be expected from Nestlé's Wonka brand. We taste tested all seven flavors, but only a few are truly scrumdiddlyumptious. Find out the flavors that are worth purchasing and which ones need to return to the Wonka factory for further testing.
