Growing up, I could always count on getting some Caramel Creams with my grandpa when I visited. He told me stories about how they are his favorite because he used to get them with his grandpa too. They used to be my favorite, until I found Goetze's new Double Chocolate Caramel Creams! The Double Chocolate Caramel Creams have a very similar texture to the classic Caramel Creams, slightly chalky on the outside and perfectly soft on the inside. When you bite into them, the creamy chocolate center gushes out and coats your taste buds with pure goodness. They melt in your mouth with a familiar, but completely unique chocolate flavor. I expected to taste caramel, but didn't. They tasted refreshingly awesome and better than I could have imagined. Double Chocolate Caramel Creams beat tootsie rolls hands down! They are much softer and have a more satisfying chocolate flavor. Goetze's has been family owned since 1895 and they make all their candy in the USA! They are truly one of our national treasures.

Martin zoo: Griffin shows Tad and Cara Zak's letter to Kendall. Oh man! More of this damn letter! Give this letter a contract! Tad agrees Zak would never use the word sweetheart. Griffin explains how Kendall couldn't get over the letter but didn't want to obsess. Cara thinks they should let Kendall get over it, but Griffin is worried about her safety and says he will be looking into it. Griffin leaves, as Krystal walks downstairs. She tells Tad and Cara she is moving out.UGH! Krystal asks for a minute alone with Tad and tells him she's trying to help him sell his marriage by leaving with the girls. Tad questions this, but Krystal reminds him they are sisters and she will not separate them. Tad won't let her break up this family. Krystal you are not taking Tad and Dixie's child!!! No way!!! Krystal leaves and Opal enters. Opal pleads Krystal's case, but he doesn't want to miss anything in his kids' lives. He admits he didn't think through everything it would cost him by marrying Cara. Opal thinks his girls will be proud of him when they eventually learn and understand what he did for Cara. Tad says he will probably be dead by then. ROFL! Krystal's BJ's: Cara talks to Krystal into staying at the house!!! Krystal thinks it's too dangerous for everyone if they stay. Really Krystal? Really? Or are you just jealous because you want Tad? Well anyway Cara knows it won't be easy, but she doesn't think it's impossible. She promises to do everything in her power to help Krystal and her children. Krystal wonders if she can sell the situation to the feds. Cara truly loves being surrounded by a loving family after all her years of traveling. She thinks immigration will believe it's what she wants because it's the truth. Martin zoo: Oh guess what?! Cara got Krystal to change her mind! Krystal tells Tad that she's staying cus Cara changed her mind. Well that's good. Cus you can't take both girls!! Kathy belongs there!! Also If Krystal and the girls leave, I won't be able to call their house the martin zoo anymore ROFL! Park: The crazy is back!!!! Annie walks in with Emma!! She tells her daughter they can't trust anyone there, but they need to get some money. Annie sees a man walk up and Emma hides. Annie approaches the man, who she thinks is Scott. She begs him to help her. They were married once. He isn't Scott!!! She pushes the guy and says she is sorry but then steals his wallet and takes off with Emma!!!! Casa D Lavery: Ryan and Greenlee wait for word on Annie and Emma. Madison stops by. Ryan offers to put Madison up at the casino, but she tells him she's happy where she is. Oh she has got her backbone back! Brot calls Ryan to tell him about the man Annie attacked, who recognized her from a photo. Ryan and Greenlee run out and leave Madison there. The park: Ryan questions the guy Annie attacked. Ryan worries that if Annie sees Scott when she looks at this man, what must she see when she looks at Emma? Yacht club hotel room: Annie brings Emma to the man's hotel room. DOH! Emma is very very worried about her mommy. She is afraid that the man hurt her mommy. Annie assures Emma that the man won't be back because he hurt his leg. Emma asks if she's okay because she thought the man looked like Scott. Annie decides to take a shower. Mott home: Madison is there and Scott shows up. Oh wow!!! Madison was JUST at Casa D Lavery's house and Greenlee and Ryan leave and left Madison there! The next second she is back home!!! Damn are Madison, Scott, and Greenlee and Ryan neighbors? Anyway Scott and Madison talk about how they turned down JR and Ryan's condescending offers to live in cushier places. Emma calls Madison! Emma whispers and says she's worried about her mother. After Madison hangs up with Emma, she calls Ryan and tells them Emma and Annie are in town at a hotel. Madison worries, but Scott assures her everything will be fine. However, he knows she is a strong independent woman, who doesn't need anyone's help. She knows he cares and supports her, but he doesn't control her like the other men in her life have done. She feels like they are equals. She says she really wants to kiss him. He says, Allow me, and pulls her in for a kiss! I want to kiss you too Scott!!! Yacht club hotel room: Superhero Ryan kicks the door in and finds Annie!!! He demands to know where Emma is. She tells him she's in the shower, but Ryan can't find her. He wants to call the cops, but she panics. He promises they will figure it out together – nobody else. She starts to cry because she's scared and he vows to keep her safe. She sees Greenlee and lashes out at Ryan. Annie is having a melt down. Stupid Ryan and Greenlee!!! Why did Greenlee have to show herself? Ryan tries to calm her down with reassurances that he will help her. He says they both want to do what's best for Emma so she needs to tell him where she is. Annie tells him she is right there hiding behind the couch. Ryan and Greenlee look concerned because Emma is not there. Slater home: Kendall talks to Ricky about letting go of Zak's letter. Damn what the heck is Kendall wearing? I'm sorry is it June in Pine Valley already?! First it was Amanda with her summer dress now it's Kendall! Griffin stops by and tells her he's going out of town and wanted to leave some contact numbers in case she needs anything. Ricky assures him he'll be around if Kendall needs anything. As Griffin checks Kendall out, Ricky sees Zak's letter in Griffin's bag and takes it. DOH! Once Griffin has left, Ricky gets a fake call and tells Kendall they found out where some of the kids in his teen program are getting their drugs from – Pine Valley Hospital. He asks if she knows anything about it. DOH!!! Man Ricky is good! The hospital: Cara finds Griffin. She worries he's putting himself in danger to help Kendall. He feels the need to help Kendall because of her bond with Zak that defies reason. Griffin reminds her she knows exactly what he's talking about. He says he made a promise to keep Kendall alive and he won't break it. Viewing 1 post (of 1 total) You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS - Police say the weapon a Texas eighth-grader pointed at officers in a school hallway before they killed him was a pellet gun that looked like a real handgun.
Interim Brownsville Police Chief Orlando Rodriguez says 15-year-old Jaime Gonzalez had "plenty of opportunities" to lower the weapon but "didn't want to."
Rodriguez says two officers fired three shots and struck Gonzalez at least twice. Police are awaiting the results of an autopsy.
Rodriguez says that before the confrontation with police, Gonzalez walked into a Cummings Middle School classroom and punched another boy in the nose. He says he doesn't know why Gonzalez brandished the weapon but that the initial call to police said a student had a gun.
Brownsville is on Texas' southern tip.

Summit sets new goals, including nuke forensics and security of spent fuel, IT systems
Acknowledging the negative impact the Fukushima disaster has had on the acceptability of atomic power, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh told a gathering of world leaders here on Tuesday that the synergy between the "highest standards of safety and security… is essential to restore public faith in nuclear energy".
Download graphic: Ten steps to thwart nuclear terrorism
In a statement to the plenary of the Nuclear Security Summit—which was attended by 53 countries and five international organizations—Dr. Singh underlined India's responsible citizenship of a nuclear world and backed the modest expansion of the scope of international cooperation that the Seoul meeting has agreed to: minimization of High Enriched Uranium for civilian purposes, improved nuclear forensics to help determine the origin of detected nuclear material and thus pin responsibility on the originating state, greater information and transport security and preventing nuclear trafficking.
"Nuclear security is primarily a national responsibility but there are benefits to be gained by supplementing responsible national actions through sustained and effective international cooperation," he said.
The six-page Seoul Communique released at the end of the summit outlined several other areas for action, including security of radioactive sources that terrorists could use to make 'dirty bombs', incorporating security features in nuclear plant design and ensuring terrorists are not able to disrupt information-technology based control systems at nuclear facilities.
Making a virtue out of necessity, India's "National Progress Report" cited the use of an indigenous core in the APSARA reactor and the shifting of its original French fuel to a safeguarded facility as a step aimed at "minimization of use of civilian HEU". In fact, the transfer was required under the terms of the Indo-US nuclear deal of 2005. The Indian report, which was presented to the nuclear summit, also noted there was growing demand for large-scale production of isotopes for healthcare, industrial and food-related uses—an indication that India would oppose any scaling back of civilian applications of nuclear technology should the issue arise in a future security summit.
In his statement, the Prime Minister pledged one million US dollars towards the International Atomic Energy Agency's Nuclear Security Fund for 2012-13 and urged all countries to accede to key international treaties on nuclear security. These include the International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism and the Convention on Physical Protection of Nuclear Material, and its 2005 amendment which obliges states to protect nuclear material in domestic use and all peaceful nuclear facilities.
The National Progress Report also cited the bill for the "establishment of an independent Nuclear Safety Regulatory Authority which will enhance oversight of nuclear security and strengthen synergy between safety and security."
The meshing of these two functions has already attracted criticism in India with some analysts advocating that the proposed NSRA not be burdened with responsibility for security. DAE officials say the proposal is only for NSRA to oversee security considerations within the four walls of nuclear plants and not outside.
Though the NSS agenda is limited to security, Prime Minister Singh said the best guarantee for nuclear security is a world free of nuclear weapons. This goal requires "commitments embedded in an agreed multilateral framework involving all states possessing nuclear weapons," as well as "universal restraints on the first use of nuclear weapons" in the interim.

Clearing a Career Track for Brain-Injured Students
They face not only the challenges of a competitive job market, but also the after-effects of their injury, making it harder for them to succeed. They may suffer short-term memory loss, difficulty with planning and scheduling their classes and work, and mood disorders. If they had a spinal cord injury, their mobility may be impaired. Sometimes they have overanxious parents who discourage them from setting high goals. Often they do not have the prior work experience – summer jobs and internships – that other college students rely on to give them a competitive edge in the job market.
A five-year pilot program starting in 2014 at Kent State University, supported by a $2.3 million Department of Education grant, will apply new technology and older, proven techniques to help up to 150 college students – some of them veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars – overcome the effects of TBI and launch their careers.
"They're highly motivated – they're in college," said Phillip D. Rumrill, Ph.D., professor and director of the Center for Disability Studies at Kent State and the principal investigator. "We've got to help them catch up," he said. Over five years, the program will address all the issues that would be limitations for these students. It will help them build their skills, confidence and career prospects. The project team will work intensively with the students in their college years and follow up with them as they enter the job market.
Brain Trauma Incidence Rises
Rumrill, an expert on rehabilitation and a widely published researcher, said the incidence of traumatic brain injury is highest among young adults, particularly among males, ages 16 to 25. It can result from automobile or motorcycle accidents, sports activities, high-risk behavior such as drinking- or drug- related accidents or war injuries.It's on the increase, too. During the war in Vietnam, for every soldier who died, three were injured, compared with 14 injured for every death in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, where more powerful explosives caused concussions in soldiers as far as a mile away from a blast.
"The concussion injuries they're getting have been unknown to medical science," Rumrill said.
Gunshots to the head and football-related head injuries also are increasing. As medical techniques improve, people who once would have died from an accident now survive injuries to the brain.
Overall, the incidence of TBI is low, but it disproportionately affects young people. Rumrill's study will focus on young adults with mild to moderate TBI. "Mild" is a somewhat misleading term, he pointed out – the person still may have cognitive skill impairment. Those with TBI may show socially inappropriate behavior or have poor judgment skills and may suffer from physical impairments. They may also suffer from bipolar disorder, mood swings and anxiety. Frustration is common as they try to catch up with their college peers.
Tailoring Support to Students' Needs
Students in the project will be equipped with iPads programmed with applications that can help them plan and schedule their day and remind them of tasks that they need to perform. The iPads will function as "cognitive support devices" and will serve as virtual coaches. The students also will receive one-on- one counseling and mentoring and vocational rehabilitation services that have been developed at Kent State's Center for Disability Studies.Since 1965, Kent State has graduated more than 1,000 master's degree students in its graduate rehabilitation program, and many of them work in rehabilitation services in Northeast Ohio. Some of the current graduate students associated with the Center will work with the brain injured undergraduates.
The students who have suffered brain trauma will get intensive career counseling, internships and work experience with employers who are signed up to hire the disabled. Job placements will be tailored to their situation. They'll get help finding the services and equipment they need in class and on the job.
"We'll run interference to alleviate any concern an employer might have," said Rumrill.
The program also will educate disabled students about their legal rights and help them find mentors– sometimes, people who also have their type of disability – to encourage and motivate them.
A Model for the Nation
The 150 students in the project will be drawn from area campuses – Kent State, the University of Akron, Youngstown State, Cleveland State, and community colleges, for example. Fifty students from Ohio and 50 each from collaborating centers at the University of West Virginia and Boston University will be served in the program over five years.The goal is to improve what are now poor outcomes for these students, Rumrill said. While 85 percent of four-year college graduates find employment nationwide, only 30 to 35 percent of the brain-injured do. Their drop-out rate in college is higher, too.
By applying the principles of vocational rehabilitation to practice for brain-injured students and working with them intensively, Rumrill hopes to develop and refine a model that can be implemented nationwide. What is learned in the project also will inform the curriculum for graduate students in rehabilitation here, he said.
While the population of brain-injured young people is growing, its needs in higher education and the job market have not yet been addressed, Rumrill noted.
"We've got to help make up for this."
"This innovative method of academic enrichment and career enhancement will substantially improve the bleak employment outcomes that presently await civilian and veteran students with TBI following the completion of their college training." (Phillip Rumrill, Ph.D.)

Moment the 4th: Gundam Unicorn and the Last Seig Zeon
Added by
on Dec. 21, 2011
The Universal Century timeline began, in our experience as the audience, with the One Year War, depicted in the original Gundam series. In a battle between the Earth Federation and Principality of Zeon, the faction that the show designated to us as the enemy was Zeon, and were presented like their super robot enemy contemporaries: comical and cartoonish in nature. All future shows placed in the middle of this war seemed to work as apologies for this initial depiction. War in the Pocket, Stardust Memories (it's still pre-Gundam Z), 08th MS Team, and Gundam IGLOO all served to humanize the soldiers of Zeon in one way or another. The lore's predestination of a Zeonic defeat paints these soldiers doomed by their commanders and by fate and victims of past Federation abuses fighting the good fight while crying "Seig Zeon" with a sense of national pride.
This depiction is what made the battle cry of the final remnants of Zeon forces on the earth's surface so painful. These were soldiers that were members of the initial invasion forces who was left behind and forgotten and never accepted the peace that was signed oh so far away. They missed out on Operation Stardust. They missed out on both Neo Zeon uprisings under the lead of Haman Karn in Gundam ZZ and Char Aznable in Char's Counter Attack. This attack on Torrington was their last chance for not glory, but vindication and vengence.
The attack was never going to succeed. Their ancient mobile suits were never going to stand up against London Bell's crack troops. Their numbers were never going to hold out against a Federation counter attack. But it did do what they wanted: get one last punch in. The chants of Seig Zeon in this case was no longer a chant of national pride. It was merely a tired symbolic title to serve as cover for a personal vendetta. Loni's last desperate chant of Seig Zeon was but a ghost compared to the chant that Ghiren inspired so many years ago at the dawn of this long lived conflict, and I can't help but pity them despite being a Feddie at heart.

Moment the 5th: Worthwhile Sacrifices and Usagi Drop
Added by
on Dec. 21, 2011
So I heard "Best Of" lists were popular this time of the year. Here's my relatively brief one. Partly because I don't remember every show I watch over the year, and partly because I don't have time to watch them all at all. Then again, if a moment wasn't compelling enough to make me watch/remember it, it probably wouldn't make the list anyways.
Compared to much of the anime that I consume regularly,
Usagi Drop
is a very sedated show in both action and drama. Yet there is a constant level of emotional appeal that makes every episode so enjoyable. It rests in how honest the characters are, especially
. He does not lie to himself about the situation he has set himself in, what he gives up in life by taking in a six year old. He recognizes the difficulties of child rearing, and learns from figures in his life the potential struggles it causes.
But neither does he, as the only character whose inner monologue we hear, turn the story into one about his struggles only. There is a supreme optimism and understanding on his part. Understanding just what Rin must be going through, and indeed what her mother must have went through to reach her decision, and optimism towards how he can give her a better future. It is largely enabled by an almost perfect relationship he has with
, but you never fault the show for this idealization as Daikichi's own great efforts at making this family structure work garners sympathy and respect.
Usagi Drop, much like Honey and Clover previously, holds a very special spot in my heart because of how it takes advantage of my life experience. No, I don't have a child, adopted or otherwise. But I do have people for whom I have sacrificed for. I also have parents that have sacrificed much for me. This show is sweet nostalgia for moments in both my childhood and faux-adulthood that I had long forgotten.

Fate/Zero: Heroic Spirit Fanservice
Added by
on Dec. 11, 2011
Fate/Zero made many improvements upon the original Fate/Stay-Night. The most talked about is of course the visuals. It would not be an exaggeration to call Fate/Zero one of the best shows of the season visually. But better yet is its treatment of its source materials. By that I do not mean how it fits into the Fate franchise. Rather I mean the characters it summons, characters full of potential stories themselves just waiting to be utilized.
The Grail War revolves around a battle between seven magicians and seven summoned warriors of significant importance in history. While the nature of its plot had Fate/Stay-Night playing cloak and daggers with the identity of these heroic spirits, it also unfortunately limited just how deep we explored their characters. By contrast, the majority of Fate/Zero has centered on this, exploring all but two of the heroic spirits summoned to great degrees. (I will be spoiling the identity of the heroic spirits summoned below in my analysis below. I will however be skipping Saber and Archer since Fate/Stay-Night actually did a good job of fleshing them out as characters compared to the other heroic spirits.)
Lets start with the heroic spirit that the show treats in the most comical way: Caster. In this case, its not his character or his personality that I paid the most attention to. Rather it's his face. Caster's true identity is Gilles de Rais, a leader of French army in the 1400s as well as a companion of Joan of Arc. In his later life (of a short 36 years), he was involved in the occult and was convicted of sodomizing and murdering large numbers of children. He was also however one of the suggested inspirations for a French folktale called "Bluebeard" in which a character by the name of Bluebeard was also a serial killer. One of the illustrated artwork of the story had Bluebeard depicted with a pair of very bugged out eyes. The resemblance between that image and the Caster of the show is certainly no coincidence, and brought me much entertainment.
Next we have Lancer, or Diarmuid of the Love spot, a figure that appears Irish mythology. In life, he was blessed (cursed) by a woman he slept with with a love spot on his forehead that would cause any woman who looked at the spot to fall in love with him. The one that ultimately did was one by the name of Grainne, the fiance of one Fionn Mac Cumhaill, a major lord within Irish mythology. The two would run away with each other, but would eventually return after Fionn pardons them. However, Fionn's grudge never subsided and when Diarmuid was badly injured by a giant bore on one of their hunts, he would refuse to help heal him, letting him die. This helps explain why his greatest within the anime is to, with a second chance, serve a new lord loyally, and how tragic it is that history is repeating itself despite his best intentions as Sola-Ui falls for him to the point where she is willing to cut off El-Melloi's arm. (Fun fact: Diarmuid had two swords given to him by his foster father by the name of Great Fury and Little Fury, which is probably where the anime derives his dual wielding spear style.)
Rider's true identity is Alexander the Great. Iskandar is the Persian version of his name, one of the empires he conquered during his reign. In life, he was an incredibly charismatic person by all historical accounts that managed to garner the unquestioning loyalty of his troops despite their diverse ethnic make up. Rider's larger than life personality is what makes him one of my favorite characters in the show and it's a good image made of a man that was taught at birth by his mother that he was destined to conquer the Persians. He was an impulsive man, but also a fan of reading and verbal debates, something shown in the latest episode. He also really liked to drink, as also seen in the latest episode.
Lastly, we have two servants whom the story has yet to shed much light on: Berserker and Assassin. However, for spoilers sake, I can tell you that Berserker's identity is Lancelot. This fact should make for delicious, delicious drama for obvious reasons. In life, Lancelot slept with King Arthur's wife and was one of the biggest reasons for the fracture of the Knights of the Round Table. In the anime, Saber reveals one of her knights cursed her lack of human empathy, and left. I wonder who that could be.

Persona 4 Episode 4: Three's a Trend, and Our Heroes are Helpless
Added by
on Nov. 1, 2011
When I started my attempts at internet blogging about two years ago, one of my first entries was on Persona 3. What drew me to that game was the nature of the enemy, and the futility of the conflict. The ultimate evil in that game was Nyx. It was a being of death manifested by and attracted to the negativity of mankind. It knew no malice and did not seak power. It was instead manipulated by mankind's unconcious negativity. Our heroes fought against it, and even with the "Power of the Universe", the strength to perform miracles, all the main character could do was use his own life force to create a seal, blocking Nyx off from man kind's thoughts.
The conflict was against a being of man's own creation and unconscious manipulation, and fighting against it directly was futile, as refuting the will of all mankind with just your own was futile. Far outside the JRPG norm, this is what made Persona 3's story appeal to me. When Persona 4 came around, I loved it, and yet couldn't help but feel a twinge of disappointment because of how the balance of power played out in the conflict. The heroes fought against the monsters, and each time came out victorious. Personal acceptance of one's demons became less life threatening as the ability to fully subdue them over and over was always there.
And then came along the Persona 4 anime. Within the last 3 episodes, we have seen three boss fights and none of them gave us an Investigation Team victorious on their powers. Narukami fought Shadow Yosuke to a standstill at best. Shadow Chie had Jiraiyah and Yosuke tied up with her bondage hair. Shadow Yukiko's flames were more than even Pyro Jack's absorb flame affinity could handle. Once is a fluke, but three is a trend. The conflict puts emphasis on the futility of combating psychological beasts with brute strength. Every time, it took a change in mind set on the part of the host to give our heroes a fighting chance.
While the criticisms of melodramatic nature of the self-acceptance is understandable, in this sense, it also makes sense. One cannot win through fighting, and hold the shadow back is already a near impossible task. The priority is acceptance, one that the heroes need to work towards through emotional appeals more than anything else. The change in this emphasis is also backed up by an expansion on the back story and motivations of the characters that I have praised in previous writings. The true source of Chie and Yukiko's friendship, the set in stone routine of Yukiko's life at the inn, what people really think about Yosuke behind his back, these moments help gives depth to this new priority.
Persona 3 showed the supreme power of the subconscious. It is good to see the Persona 4 Animation following in those foot steps.

How come I just flashed back in my mind to that SNL skit from a couple of weeks ago when George W. Bush (played by Will Ferrell) tapes a commercial endorsing a VERY uncomfortable John McCain. "When you think of John McCain, just remember my face!"
Well they are related. Maybe Cheney will call the shots and Obama will juts be a figure head like Bush. Wouldn't that be ironic if Obama turns out to be the new Bush.
Do not get this at all.. is Cheney going to continue if Obama is elected??? Admitting that the Dark Knight has been the one in charge is a very good first step..
The man will be far FAR too busy fending off indictments of fraud against the American people... for his undeniable violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 371.
I wonder if the Obama campaign has enough time to throw an ad together just showing Cheney's abd Bush's endorsement announcements. that all you got to say. Ha!

Fans who were disappointed by the fact that the Sixaxis controller on the PlayStation 3 did not have a rumble feature will no doubt be delighted to hear that rumours of a future Sixaxis which sports a rumble function have surfaced.
According to Innerbits.com, "two independent sources at Sony" have leaked that the Japanese giant has been working on a vibrating prototype for the past "several months". The site, however, did not name the two sources and Sony has neither confirmed or denied the reports.
Regardless of Sony's silence on the rumours, the latest happenings do hint that the Sixaxis will not be staying rumbleless forever- Earlier this year, Sony signed a new contract with Immersion, the company which had previously sued them over the rumble technology used in the DualShock. SCE boss, Kaz Hirai was quite pleased with the deal and said that "we are very excited about our new partnership with Immersion and the potential for new and innovative products incorporating their technologies." New and innovative products which include a rumbling Sixaxis perhaps?

Zimbabwe's coalition government has failed to address widespread hunger and human rights violations in the country, a national Christian youth movement has charged.
Zimbabwean PM Morgan Tsvangirai was forced to abandon a speech at Southwark Anglican Cathedral, as ex-pats jeered his call for a return to their homeland to rebuild the nation.
A Methodist bishop in South Africa, who runs a shelter for people fleeing from his country's northern neighbour, wants police here to stop arresting Zimbabweans now that the law concerning their visas has been changed.
UK public donations for the joint Zimbabwe emergency and development appeal launched by the Anglican Archbishops of Canterbury and York have reached £292,330, the administrators of the fund have announced this week.
18 human rights and political activists, including the Director of the Zimbabwe Peace Project, were detained in Zimbabwe yesterday (Tuesday) just two months after they were released after being tortured in prison.
While the world focuses on elections in South Africa, the terrible plight of people in Zimbabwe continues, says Oskar Wempter. He describes the stranglehold on the country and the impact on its starving population.
A South African Methodist bishop who shelters Zimbabwean refugees from Mugabe's brutal regime and has been a long-standing advocate of social justice now gets death threats
Maundy Thursday is a foot-washing day for Christians, emphasising mutual service. But a bishop has given the tradition a new twist by shining boots at St Pancras station to raise funds for Zimbabwe.
A UK service will be held in memory of Susan Tsvangirai, the wife of Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, on Saturday 14 March 2009 at Coventry Methodist Central Hall at 1.30 pm.
Zimbabwe is in a "serious humanitarian crisis" with villagers surviving on wild berries and appealing for food aid that is not coming, the head of Christian Care in the southern African country has charged.

@Thess: Nonsense. If it weren't a dream of his then he wouldn't have responded to Shirou the way he did at the end. A personal desire and an ideal--he had both of these. We already knew that from when he suggested running away to Irisviel when they were on top of the castle.

Zero would have been better off just ending it with Saber attempting to destroy the grail, with her lovely face full of anguish. Most of this episode was just tying into Stay/Night, and the last thing I'd ever want is to associate myself with that mediocrity. Oh well, overall, Zero was excellent. Some pacing issues in the first half, but easily forgiven by the second.

Despite the fact that ufotable faced a time limit for the episode and had to cram everything in and cut out some scenes, I thought it actually fared well for episode 25. Some moments did deliver the necessary emotional impact, for instance, the part when Kiritsugu was running around looking for survivors and Saber crying at the top of the hill. The pacing was also much better than the previous episode.
Although they cut out the Gilgamesh-in-the-mud scene, a part in the novel I was looking forward to, I'm glad that they showed a part of Lancelot's dialogue with Saber when he was dying, even if it was just Saber's flashback. Again, I'm certain there'll be more in the BD. This episode isn't without its flaws - I thought the scene with Kariya and Sakura and Tokiomi's funeral was handled roughly, but the finale was still satisfying in the end, in the sense that it provided a solid lead-up to Stay Night with Saber stating again that she wants to undo her past and Kiritsugu and Shirou's exchange in the end. |

Next chapter that really needs to be released as an anime in order to connect perfectly with Fate/Zero:
1. Fate/Stay Night Heaven's Feel (Angra Mainyu is explained the most and his rebirth becomes one of the main theme that connects the most with Fate/Zero) 2. Fate/Hollow Ataraxia (Angra Mainyu is reborn as Avenger) |

A very good, solid ending.
It didn't "wow" me, or anything, but it tied up all the loose ends, and it did a great job of tying this prequel back into the original Fate/Stay Night continuity. When it comes to not leaving anything unaccounted for, this finale was quite impressive. I didn't like the inexplicable deus ex machina revival of Kirei - I would have preferred it if he hadn't been killed in the first place. And Aoi somehow surviving being seemingly choked to death was odd. But other than that, I don't have much issue with the finale. It's a satisfying closure to Fate/Zero - Well, at least for those of us who liked Fate/Stay Night, I would think. 9/10 for Episode 25.

When we first heard the news it was almost too good to be true; one of the new American menswear masters, Michael Bastian, was launching an exclusive line of suiting (plus shirts and ties) with Barneys to fill out the closets of his nine-to-fiver fans and beyond. We were even more stoked to get a first look at the line, which includes just about every suit or sportcoat a guy needs in his wardrobe, from a crisp business navy notch suit to a dove gray window pane sports jacket for some flair. Bastian assembled the collection of strong, but not strict, tailored pieces in a lookbook, above, giving gents a primer on how to rock the Barneys-exclusive goods together or paired with pieces from his main line. Reasonably priced at $1,495 for the two-piece suits, these are designer duds after all, the line is available at select Barneys locations and online right now at barneys.com. And in case you're one of those fans worried this is a one-off collabo, fear not, Basty and Barneys plan on sticking this one out for the long haul.

The Sethians were a Gnostic sect during the Roman era. Alongside Valentinianism Sethianism was one of the main currents of Gnosticism during the 2nd to 3rd centuries. Their thinking, though it is predominantly Judaic in foundation, is arguably strongly influenced by Platonism. Sethianism attributed its gnosis to Seth, third son of Adam and Eve and Norea, wife of Noah (who also plays a role in Mandeanism and Manicheanism).
The Sethians (Latin Sethoitae) are first mentioned, alongside the Ophites, in the 2nd century, by Irenaeus and in Pseudo-Tertullian (Ch.30).[1][2]
According to Frederik Wisse (1981)[3] all subsequent accounts appear to be largely dependent on Irenaeus.[4] Hippolytus repeats information from Irenaeus. According to Epiphanius of Salamis (c.375) Sethians were in his time found only in Egypt and Palestine, although fifty years before they had been found as far away as Greater Armenia (Panarion 39.1.1 2; 40.1).[5] One of the sources of Epiphanius, the lost Syntagma of Hippolytus of Rome, was also the source for Christian heresies before Noetus in Philaster's Catalogue of heresies. Nathaniel Lardner (1838) noted that Philaster places the Ophites, Cainites, and Sethians as pre-Christian Jewish sects.[6] However, since Sethians identified Seth with Christ (Second Logos of the Great Seth), Philaster's belief that the Sethians had pre-Christian origins, other than in syncretic absorption of Jewish and Greek pre-Christian sources, has been not found acceptance in later scholarship.[7]
Most surviving Sethian texts are preserved only in Coptic translation of the Greek original. Very little direct evidence of Gnostic teaching was available prior to the discovery of the Nag Hammadi library, a collection of 4th-century Coptic translations of Gnostic texts which were apparently hidden in reaction to Athanasius of Alexandria's Easter letter of 367 which banned the use of non-canonical books. Some of these texts are known to have been in existence in the 2nd century, but it is impossible to exclude the presence of later syncretic material in their 4th-century translations.
Commonly, the Sethian cosmogonic myth describes an intended prologue to the events of Genesis and the rest of the Pentateuch, which by its emendation brings about a radical reinterpretation of the typical orthodox Jewish conception of creation, and the divine's relation to reality. This myth is typically presupposed by Sethian manuscripts, and occasionally by those of later schools. Many of their concepts derived from a fusion of Platonic or Neoplatonic concepts with the Old Testament, as was common in Hellenistic Judaism, exemplified by Philo (20 BC - 40 AD).
The Sethian cosmogony was most famously contained in the Apocryphon of John, which describes an Unknown God, the same as Paul had done in the Acts of the Apostles 17:23. The latter conception defines God through a series of explicit positive statements called cataphatic theology, themselves universal but in the divine taken to their superlative degrees: as well as being explicitly male, he is omniscient and omnipotent. The Sethian conception of God is, by contrast, defined through negative theology exclusively: he is immovable, invisible, intangible, ineffable. This Apophatic Theology (Negative theology) mode of thinking about God is found throughout Gnosticism and also has precedents in some Judaic sources (for example, the theology of Maimonides).
The original "Unknown God" went through a series of emanations, during which its essence is seen as spontaneously expanding into many successive 'generations' of paired male and female beings, called 'aeons'. The first of these is Barbelo, a figure common throughout Sethianism, who is coactor in the emanations that follow. The aeons that result can be seen as representative of the various attributes of God, themselves indiscernible when not abstracted from their origin. In this sense, Barbelo and the emanations may be seen as poetic devices allowing an otherwise utterly unknowable God to be discussed in a meaningful way amongst initiates. Collectively, God and the aeons comprise the sum total of the spiritual universe, known as the Pleroma.
At this point the myth is still only dealing with a spiritual, non-material universe. In some versions of the myth, the Spiritual Aeon Sophia imitates God's actions in performing an emanation of her own, without the prior approval of the other aeons in the Pleroma. This results in a crisis within the Pleroma, leading to the appearance of the Yaldabaoth, a 'serpent with a lion's head'. This figure is commonly known as the demiurge, after the figure in Plato's Timaeus. (Gr. δημιουργός dēmiourgós, Latinized demiurgus, meaning "artisan" or "craftsman")[8] This being is at first hidden by Sophia but subsequently escapes, stealing a portion of divine power from her in the process.
Using this stolen power, Yaldabaoth creates a material world in imitation of the divine Pleroma. To complete this task, he spawns a group of entities known collectively as Archons, 'petty rulers' and craftsmen of the physical world. Like him, they are commonly depicted as theriomorphic, having the heads of animals. Some texts explicitly identify the Archons with the fallen angels described in the Enoch tradition in Judaic apocrypha. At this point the events of the Sethian narrative begin to cohere with the events of Genesis, with the demiurge and his archontic cohorts fulfilling the role of the creator. As in Genesis, the demiurge declares himself to be the only god, and that none exist superior to him; however, the audience's knowledge of what has gone before casts this statement, and the nature of the creator itself, in a radically different light.
The demiurge creates Adam, during the process unwittingly transferring the portion of power stolen from Sophia into the first physical human body. He then creates Eve from Adam's rib, in an attempt to isolate and regain the power he has lost. By way of this he attempts to rape Eve who now contains Sophia's divine power; several texts depict him as failing when Sophia's spirit transplants itself into the Tree of Knowledge; thereafter, the pair are 'tempted' by the serpent, and eat of the forbidden fruit, thereby once more regaining the power that the demiurge had stolen.
As is evident, the addition of the prologue radically alters the significance of events in Eden; rather than emphasizing a fall of human weakness in breaking God's command, Sethians (and their inheritors) emphasize a crisis of the Divine Fullness as it encounters the ignorance of matter, as depicted in stories about Sophia. Adam and Eve's removal from the Archon's paradise is seen as a step towards freedom from the Archons, and the serpent in the Garden of Eden in some cases becomes a heroic, salvific figure rather than an adversary of humanity or a 'proto-Satan'. Eating the fruit of Knowledge is the first act of human salvation from cruel, oppressive powers.

USC quarterback Matt Barkley will forgo the Senior Bowl as he is still recovering from an AC sprain to his right throwing shoulder suffered in a 38-28 loss to UCLA back on November 17th. Barkley returned to USC for his senior season with high hopes of leading the Trojans to a national title while picking up the Heisman along the way. Unfortunately, none of this happened. USC finished unranked at 7-6 capped by an embarrassing loss to Georgia Tech in the Sun Bowl. As a Trojan, Barkley threw for 12,327 yards, 116 TDs and 48 INTs. The Newport Beach native is poised to be a top ten selection and is expected to be one of the first quarterbacks taken in the NFL draft.

"Now That's Justice For Trayvon" Mob Of 20 Blacks' BRUTALLY Assault White Man With Makeshift Weapons ON HIS PORCH –Victim In ICU
Dear monsters, an unbridled savage assault against an innocent victim is NOT justice.
(WKRG) –MOBILE, Alabama –Mobile police need your help to catch a mob that beat Matthew Owens so badly that he's in critical condition.
According to police, Owens fussed at some kids playing basketball in the middle of Delmar Drive about 8:30 Saturday night [April 21, 2012.] They say the kids left and a group of adults returned, armed with everything but the kitchen sink.
Police tell News 5 the suspects used chairs, pipes and paint cans to beat Owens.
Owens' sister, Ashley Parker, saw the attack. "It was the scariest thing I have ever witnessed." Parker says 20 people, all African American, attacked her brother on the front porch of his home, using "brass buckles, paint cans and anything they could get their hands on."
[Cowardly] Police will only say "multiple people" are involved.
What Parker says happened next could make the fallout from the brutal beating even worse. As the attackers walked away, leaving Owen bleeding on the ground, Parker says one of them said
"Now thats justice for Trayvon."
Police canvassed the area, but did not find any suspects. They're asking anyone with information to call them at 251-208-7211, Crime Stoppers at 251-208-7000, or text a tip to 274637 and include the keyword CRIME 411.
Is Trayvon becoming an excuse for racism fueled violence?
Update: Move along folks, no hate crime here.
(FOX) –Asked if the incident was being investigated as a hate crime, [Mobile police spokeswoman Ashley] Rains replied: "No, it's not. It's being investigated as an assault.†Eugene A. Seidel, first assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama, declined to comment on the case when reached by FoxNews.com.
"Our policy is not to comment one way or another about cases,†Seidel said when asked if his office has inquired about the incident. "All I can say is no comment.â€

This report has no mention of a "justice for Trayvon" claim, but the ferocious assault occurred in Sanford Florida, the ground zero of racial incitement in the name of Trayvon:

Are they even useful here?
Garrison is OP, Promote is situational (and bot only, I'd say). Clutch garrisons won so many tourney games, it's absurd.
Garrison is one of the best summoner spells on the map. Promote, I'm not sure. I see it used as a gimmick by Malz and Heimer but I doubt it's optimal.
I never saw too much Dominion Streams, how can Garrison even be used effectively?
Garrison is great for a few reasons: -Interrupts everybody channeling to cap, at range. -For champs who can't clear minions quick, it will counter a minion-wave-assisted push by the enemy to your turret. And even if you can, sometimes the fight going on is intense enough that minions get left unchecked, and that can be your downfall. One button fixes that. -Can take a turret on the verge of being neutralized to full. In most cases, I believe it is worse to have a turret with a tiny sliver of health left than to have it neutralized. At least if it's neutralized, you can recap it to full when the danger has passed, but there is nothing you can do about a turret being ALMOST empty but guard it zealously until it slowly heals itself. That's not terrible, but it stretches your resources (teammates), and resource allocation is what Dominion is all about. I won't typically bust a Garrison to heal a turret that is in no immediate danger, but I will refill one from time to time if a weak one is getting some harassment from minions and/or a lone enemy. It discourages them from trying, since what they thought was an easy cap just turned into a full health laser death machine. -In any situation, it delays enemy captures. Even if they are free to channel uninterrupted, the massive regeneration from Garrison slows them down considerably, giving your teammates the extra few seconds it might take to swoop in and defend it. I think we all know that just arriving just a few seconds faster or a few seconds too late makes a huge impact on the outcome of a fight.
what about Garrison when attacking? Is it ever used when trying to get someone or two people of the point. I use it for both defending (mostly) but sometimes for attacking and not sure if this is the best use
I die a little inside when I see Alistar and Maokai holding windmill and nobody has garrison so we can tower dive them.
I use offensive garrisons all the time to support dives and counter defensive garrisons.
Garrison... so many games changed because of that.
Promote is most useful against champions who have to devote significant resources to the promoted creep to deal with it. If they can't easily murder it in two seconds then it will cause big problems for their team.
