Sekai-Ichi Hatsukoi Anime Release is finally out !
I've been waiting for this for years (okay, maybe not years, but still a very long time) and squealed when I found out that this was getting an anime adaption, congratulations Nakamura! . So, deciding to express my happiness for this anime release, I've decided to make a "discussion" thread about the anime release as the series is ongoing. Great idea, right? Maybe not, because there is not really to discuss about something so cheesy and cute as this magnificent series. =/ But, I wanna fangirl over Kisa Shouta, so there! ><
TO People who have read the manga (like me)
Please do not spoil the manga to someone new to the series or hasn't read the series yet. There are many big spoilers that we would like to keep as surprises and would like to have everyone "DA ********?" over.
TO People whom haven't read the manga or is undecided on whether or not to watch it yet.
Don't judge on first appearances, This is actually a really good series, actually better than Junjou Romantica imo. Its a very sweet series that surprises a lot and is a great way to make the transition from shouen ai to yaoi.
Crunchyroll.com - Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi
Manga Author - Nakamura Shungiku
Plot summary
Ritsu Onodera quit working for his father's company and transferred to work at the publishing company, Marukawa Shoten. To his dismay, he's assigned to edit shojo manga in which he has no interest or experience. He works with a strict boss, Takano, that he has trouble getting along with from the beginning. But, Onodera later discovers that he knows Takano from his past...
Crunchyroll.com - Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi - PV
The OVA has been released however it is not on Crunchyroll yet. (If it's on any other legal site, please tell me.)
First Episode on Crunchyroll will be legally released next Friday with the Premium membership. Regular Members will watch it a week afterwards.
1) Is this going to be an actual anime series or an OVA? I've been seeing that there is not going to be many episodes.
- According to Aarinfantasy.com, The episode that has recently been released is actually an OVA, however the actual series (first episode) won't be released until April 8th. For more information about that, Click here. There is going to be twelve episodes in the series, like Junjou Romantica.
2) So, since its like Junjou Romantica, is there going to be three couples? Or will it just resolve around Onodera and Takano?
- I'm actually not 100% sure, but more like 98% sure that they're going to put the other two couples in it. The reason for that is because I haven't seen a source saying so. But let's just say yes for now. But there sure better do so, because If i don't see my Animated Kisa I will kill a puppy.
3) Will this series come to America?
- The Manga is coming out July 2011, though I don't know about the anime series itself. The OVA however, is available to buy on DVD now on Amazon.
Episode Analysis [spoilers]
Episode one:
Mino: [after explaination of photo croooked thing]- Ah, watched out so you dont get crooked.
Onodera: Okay.
Kisa : They say, " A Crooked photocomposition is a sign of a crooked heart."
Hatori: "Kisa, you were Crooked last time."
Kisa: What? Really? Where?
Episode two:
I LOL'D at the tension with they tried to dramatizie ritsu up. It was really unfitting to me. But the slow sequence of Takano rape was AMAZING.
and was i all like,"HAY, THAT MANGA ARTIST CAN DRAW PRETTY DAMN GOOD"
Episode three:
Though they are following the manga pretty well, I THANK THE HEAVENS that they didnt leave us off with that cliffhanger shinaigans. They ended off pretty well.
1) So in the OVA, WHY WERE THE WINDOWS ALWAYS OPEN?! Srsly.
2) Any Kisa Shouta Fans? I'm a Kisa Shouta Fan. (:
3) So, what do you think about the story so far in the anime?
4) Cheesiest Line?
5) How was the latest episode, gaiz?

Pat Rollins: Time to get back into the woods
Tuesday, November 6, 2012
When I was talking to Mike about the prospects for black powder season he didn't seem very optimistic. He told me that after all the scouting he'd done this summer, all the deer he'd seen during the early part of the archery season and all the whitetails that he'd captured on his trail cameras during the last few months, he didn't have a clue where he was going to hunt. In the last three weeks he hadn't seen a single deer from the tree stand and hadn't really seen much fresh sign. I had to remind him that with all the food in the woods this year, I thought he needed abandon his strategy of hunting near field edges and get back in the woods.

Superintendent pitches school renovation project to Rochester councilors
Wednesday, January 16, 2013
ROCHESTER — Next fiscal year, the School District is looking to address the "substandard classrooms" at East Rochester School, said Superintendent Michael Hopkins at Tuesday's City Council meeting.
Another addition was added to the school about 13 years ago, said Hopkins. That addition would stay in place during renovations.
Mayor T.J. Jean recalled visiting East Rochester School about two years ago.
After the final cost estimates for the project come in, the City Council will vote whether to place the East Rochester School project on the CIP for next fiscal year.

'Glamour and easy charm...'
27 August 2010
'Glamour and easy charm...'
Vienna. Day off.
Given last night's bloodbath, this morning was a complete write off, as was most of the afternoon. On surfacing, I wandered out to my default café, the very appropriately named 'Kleines Café' on Franziskanerplatz where you can get an omelette and read the papers any time of day.
I love this city, though it took me a long time to really discover the place. The truth is that (with the possible exception of the stadium we're playing on Monday) all rock venues in Vienna are crap. Small, medium or large, the places where bands play are just rubbish, so coming here on rock tours for years was never much fun. The only time that was really promising was when I came to play the Opera House with R.E.M. Vienna Opera House is one of the world greats, so the prospect of doing a gig there was very exciting. Imagine our disappointment then to discover on arrival that the band was to play in front of the iron curtain on the stage apron and we were not allowed on the actual stage at all.
Added to this, before the introduction of the Euro, Vienna used to be a particularly expensive city (post-Euro, everywhere is expensive...) so all in all the place did little to win my heart during my rock tour visits.
All that changed about five or six years ago when I came to Vienna to work on a musical (Barbarella - Das Sexy Space Musikal) with Dave Stewart of Eurythmics fame. I lived here for about three months in total, from December to February, with the place covered in thick snow for much of the time. Living in a city obviously presents more bonding opportunity than on a one-night-stand and Vienna eventually won me over entirely. Aside from its movie-set old-world charm, the secret is that it's really a city for grown-ups. They still take their longstanding coffee shop culture very seriously and it's perfectly acceptable to hole up in one of these places for the whole day and read the papers. I'm sure there must be a smattering of youth culture somewhere in Vienna, but if so it's sufficiently well buried so as not to disturb the status quo. Arts funding is enormous so the cultural programmes are extraordinary, plus you have history and scenery in an extremely cosmopolitan city, so 'glamour and easy charm' is still here to be found.
Having managed a brief excursion, I went back to lie down for a while before meeting a friend for the evening. We headed out for dinner and ended up taking a lengthy stroll through this most beautiful of cities. The oldest part of town (the '1st District') is enclosed by the 5km-long Ringstrasse and centred on the cathedral. Incredibly over-the-top baroque buildings line narrow streets, making the place stupidly atmospheric and a great place for a late night walk. We ended up hiking around half the perimeter of the Ringstrasse, so I was fit to drop by the time I got to bed.

My favourite place in Vienna
Dear Willie, it was great for me to read this diary entry. The "Kleines Cafe" is my favourite coffe shop in Vienna and has meanwhile become something like a second living room for me. I usually start the weekend there on friday evenings with a couple of friends and some glasses of "Spritzers". What I appreciate so much is the mix of people who go there: Drinkers, brokers, actors, writers, politicians, students, tourists and rock stars (We sat next to Campino from "Die toten Hosen" a couple of months ago. ). On that particular friday I couldn´t make it to the "Kleines Cafe", but I passed by the place on my push bike at the time you must have been in there… (would have been nice to meet you) By the way I want to give you some background information concerning your diary entry from the 29th of August. Not only does the subway line U2 has a stop at the stadion where the band played, but also the section of that line that now leads to the stadion was opened in 2008 on Bono´s birthday with a U2 coverband playing (amongst others)! So there might be some fandom involved in the public transport authorities. Greetings from Vienna! PS: I´m looking forward to the concerts in Seville and Rome.

Viennese culture
Dear Willie, thank you so much for your heart-warming stories about your time in the capital of my country!!! I also know the Kleines Cafe on the Franziskanerplatz. You are right, the Austrians still take their coffee shop culture seriously. When people walk down the streets they tend to be hectic, but in the coffee shops the atmosphere is very relaxed and people can sit there as long as they want. I also love the 1st district, because it has a long history and the buildings are not as pompous as the ones on the Ringstrasse. It is true that Vienna already used to be an expensive city before the instruction of the Euro. Before 2002 we Austrians had another currency called "Schilling" and nowadays we usually say with a bit sentimentality: "With the Schilling everything was cheaper." Thanks for calling Vienna "this most beautiful of cities"!

Travel day, Melbourne - Auckland.
Within the bands entourage (certainly by comparison to the crews clockwork scheduling) travel departure times are often a little loose. This morning was especially so, due to three contradictory memos which had been emailed out last night and this morning.

I was planning on resurrecting the tour diary today, being the day we were scheduled to fly to Auckland for the load-in tomorrow. However, its now old news that the remainder of the tour dates have been postponed, so Im not going anywhere further than the corner cafe. Its been a very weird week indeed - much akin to driving into a wall.

WOW, i may have found a pace where i don't hemmorage turnovers. This is great news.
My team is collapsing. Lost all 3 game. Two close losses and an easy loss to the Lakers.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
Won all 3, hopefully I can get some more room between me and the lower seeds. The main thing I'm trying to figure out is what kind of bench line up works. May have to change some player positions or something.

Founded in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1845, Brunswick Billiards is a true American brand with a long history of innovation and a legendary reputation for fine workmanship. Our founder, John Moses Brunswick, based his company on one simple principle, "We can build it better than anyone else." That's what he did and that's what we continue to do today.
First Billiard Table Produced
After emigrating from Switzerland in 1834, and apprenticing in New York City and Philadelphia, John Moses Brunswick establishes his Cincinnati Carriage Making Company. He quickly expands his product line to include cabinets, tables, and chairs and produces the company's first billiard table for a successful Cincinnati meatpacker. Word-of-mouth promotion quickly brings requests for more tables.
First Sales Office and Factory Opens
Brunswick opens its first sales office in Chicago on State Street and quickly expands to include two factories and an 8,000 square foot billiard parlor on Washington Street. Additional offices, sales rooms, and billiard parlors open in New Orleans in 1852 and St. Louis in 1859.
The discovery of gold in California prompted a huge western expansion as tens of thousands of gold seekers migrated west in search of fortune.
Brunswick Merges with Rival
As demand for Brunswick tables continues to increase, Brunswick merges with rival Julius Balke's Great Western Billiard Table Manufactory to become The J. M. Brunswick and Balke Company. Now selling from Canada to Mexico, with tables in every principal city in the west, the company manufactures 700 tables a year and has 350 Brunswick tables in play in the city of Chicago.
Thomas Edison creates the first commercially practical incandescent light bulb making it possible for every home and business to afford electric lights including pools rooms, which could now be electrically lighted for play.
Product Line Expands to Bars
Brunswick merges with another rival to become "The Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company," the largest billiard equipment operation in the world. The product line expands to include elaborate and ornate front and back bars. Demand from taverns grows so great that a new factory opens in Dubuque, Iowa to manufacture and shipped the bars around the world. The bars garner design awards at international exhibitions. Many of them are still in use today, becoming focal points in popular bars and restaurants around the country.
A Chicago Success Story
Brunswick is one of the most successful businesses in Chicago, operating from a five story building on State Street, with an additional factory located at Rush and Kinzie and one at Huron and Sedgwick that covered an entire city block with its factory, warehouse and lumber drying plant.
A Year of Technical Innovations
Company President Moses Bensinger works to experiment and research better ways to make billiard tables and equipment. Important patents for rubber cushions are registered and other technical innovations evolve.
New Manufacturing Plant Opens
Brunswick opens a new 100,000 square foot plant in Muskegon, Michigan to be used for billiard table assembly, billiard ball and cue manufacturing, and chalk production. The company now owns its own lumber mill, timberland and slate quarries and is the world's largest user of hardwood, manufacturing over 400,000 cues a year.
Events in History
The Wright brothers test their second experimental glider just south of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. While their experiment was unsuccessful, what they learned from it proved to be a critical step toward the invention of the airplane and mainstream air travel.
Offices and Factories Worldwide
Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. has main offices in Chicago (executive headquarters since 1908), New York, Cincinnati and San Francisco, with factories in six U.S. cities plus Toronto and Paris, offices and salesrooms in 43 cities across America, "foreign" offices in Honolulu, Mexico City and Paris, and Canadian offices in Montreal, Edmonton, Toronto, Vancouver, and Winnipeg.
Events in History
The first transcontinental telephone call is made from Alexander Graham Bell in New York to his protégé Watson in San Francisco, forever altering the way businesses and individuals communicate around the world.
World Renown Pocket Balls
Ivorylene Pockets Balls make their first appearance in Brunswick-Balke-Collender Price List No. 785, for $16 per set. Preceded by Compo-Ivory and Empire sets in 1905, Ivorylene balls receive the Brunswick registered trademark "Dart" in the early 1930s and eventually evolve into today's world renown Centennial® Ball.
Professionals Promote Brunswick
Willie Mosconi joins the pro staff of Brunswick Billiards and is destined to become pockets billiards world champion 15 times between 1941 and 1957. In 1932 Brunswick sponsors a World Tournament, with Ralph Greenleaf placing first and Jimmy Caras second. Caras was offered his first Brunswick contract to play exhibitions around the country on Brunswick tables. During 1933–34, Brunswick's staff of 21 professionals travel the country doing exhibitions.
Events in History
World War II begins with the Japanese invasion of Pearl Harbor. During the years of World War II more than 13,000 billiard tables were installed at military and naval bases here and overseas.
100 Years of Continuous Operation
After 100 years of continuous operation, Brunswick engineers develop the "cast phenolic resin" ball. The formula was so new and different that the Chicago firm manufacturing the balls had to post a heavy armed guard around the factory to ensure the formula's security. That basic ball remains in use today and with many improvements over the years has evolved into today's "Centennial® Ball".
Evolution of a Name
The Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company changes its name to Brunswick Corporation.
The Birth of the Gold Crown Table
In development since 1958, it's the debut year of the AR6100 series Gold Crown™ table. Destined to become the finest table ever made, it set new standards for the industry. Refinements and upgrades over the next 30 plus years bring the table to the ultimate Gold Crown™IV, unmatched in reputation, preferred by professionals, and used in tournaments and exhibitions worldwide.
Flood Destroys Historical Records
A devastating flood in Brunswick Billiards' Marion, Virginia facility results in the destruction of many records and the loss of much historical data.
Events in History
The Apple II computer becomes the first highly successful, mass-produced personal computer. With over a million computers sold that year, the personal computer is well on its way to becoming a conventional tool for data processing and storage.
St. Ignatius College Prep was one of the few buildings to escape the Chicago Fire. It still stands today and houses a magnificent library built by Brunswick craftsmen under the direct supervision of John Brunswick in 1872. In 1985 Brunswick funds the complete restoration of the Brunswick Library.
Brunswick, an American company, begins its second 165 years with a dedication to product and service quality, to design excellence and craftsmanship, and to market leadership. A Brunswick billiard table is quintessentially American, with a heritage and reputation backed by the traditions established, built, and nurtured over the last 160 years.

My gut tells me it's going to be a contextual response. There will be personal aspects, things we've thought of, things we've been trained for, things we've planned in the safety of our imaginations but, when the stuff hits the fan, then I think something else takes over. Something about that moment in time, whatever was going through your mind, whatever you perceive to be the issues at the moment, you react. You don''t think; you don't weigh alternatives, you don't calculate conseqences; you react.
Personal reflections by a good many decorated soldiers, fire fighters, and policemen indicates that they did what they did because it was the only thing they could do. Yes, they had been trained but so had all the other soldiers, fire fighters and policemen in the immediate vicinity but they were the ones who reacted.
Given different contexts, my bet is that everyone present would react differently.
January 13th, 2009, 05:41 PM #32
I agree that most everyone will react differently. I believe we are hard-wired by the decisions we make on a daily basis. It even goes down to the level of our thoughts minute by minute. If we have selfish thoughts, we will be concerned only with the self. If tend toward altruism in our daily life anyway, then we will help that person in trouble when the time comes.
I know altruism is a sensitive subject, but why do we always have to make political and economical decisions based on selfishness. Don't we just further our own selfish natures? If the incentives are there, won't we continue to react the same way to our incentives?
January 26th, 2009, 04:23 PM #33
I intensely distrust government, whether liberal or conservative. Right now, our government continues to grow and expand and take on more and more power for itself. Whether or not the programs that the U.S. government puts in place are to one's liking is immaterial. If you're a Democrat, eventually this powerful govt. will come under conservative control one day. Would a Democrat really want a Mike Huckabee type-conservative in charge of such power? I wouldn't, and I'm not a Dem.
So, for me, the best means to deter such an over-bearing government and defend individual (wonder of wonders, we agree on something, RAD) liberty (however you wish to define it, Fung) is a (very) well-armed and organized populace.
And yes, I do think that tyranny in the U.S. can easily occur. Just look at the terrorism legislation that was rammed through Congress after Oklahoma City. It makes me wonder what Dems would have done had they been in charge of both the Presidency and Congress on 9/11. Or go ask the Japanese in California about their experiences in the 1940s.
How far off-topic am I, anyway?
January 26th, 2009, 06:39 PM #34
Not off topic here.
What protects us all from tyranny? We've read all the predictions. Do you remember the book It Can't Happen Here? It was written in 1935. Yet we are reasonably free and we seem to be able to force the system to work better when it's malfunctioning.
We have a sense of community and individual rights. We're suffering now and hopefully we're pulling together with compassion rather than hate and blame. We've chosen a unique leader for our time. And we're all embracing him. What does that tell us about theory and practice?
January 27th, 2009, 02:30 AM #35
This discussion about theory and praxis reminds me a quote of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a preacher that joined German resistance and got incarcerated and later killed by the Nazis (any translation mistakes are wholly mine)
Die Kirche darf also keine Prinzipien verkündigen, die immer wahr sind, sondern nur Gebote, die heute wahr sind. Denn, was immer wahr ist, ist gerade heute nicht wahr. Gott ist uns immer gerade heute Gott.
The church must not preach princips that are always true only commandements that are true today, because what is *always* true, is not true just today. God is *always* just *today* our god.
January 27th, 2009, 12:43 PM #36
I don't like that translation either. The phrase is difficult to translate because of word order. "...is not true specifically today." would be the literal translation, but the emphasis sounds wrong.
The idea is that the historic context invalidates "general truth".

To Radone:
Then it becomes survival of the fittest. That is, fittest to thrive in a savage society. And civilization goes right out the window.
The Nazis only got their monopoly on violence after a brutal period of natural selection involving battles between powerful, organized, armed civilian groups - the Brownshirts and the Communists. Both sides aimed to destabilize or destroy the government, which was the only check on them. The lesser out-groups couldn't match them and the destruction of government meant they were prey for the larger beasts.
Whoever's got the most organized people with the best guns and the ruthlessness to advance their cause by whatever means necessary wins.
Are you saying that someone (the government) should arm and organize them, or that they should be permitted to arm and organize themselves?
If the second case, then obviously the side with the most resources, the most people, and the most ruthlessness, wins. A lot of people just want to live in peace. They simply don't have the killer instinct or commitment to an ideology that they would die for.
The Ku Klux Klan were certainly well-armed and well organized, and they thought they had right on their side and the government was interfering in their business. The African Americans couldn't match them even had they tried (they were too dispersed and didn't have the resources to acquire weapons). Just look at the appalling history of lynching in the US where the guys in the white sheets lynched 'em at night and went to church the next morning with a clean conscience. Upstanding community members all.
Protecting minorities and de-segregating schools is a legitimate use of government force to prevent the more powerful in-group from oppressing and intimidating the less powerful. Force applied against force.
The Japanese internment and (a more severe example of the same case) the Holocaust was an example of a government legitimizing the dominant in-group's prejudice against out-groups.
The only problems are individuals who want to take advantage of the system and this application can be slow to recognize the danger posed by groups that intend to use a free society's freedoms to destroy said society. Steve Emerson exposes a lot of this in his investigations into terrorist groups.
Emerson, by the way, has put his own life in danger from fanatic in-groups with resources he can't match. Another legitimate use of government force in this case would be the protection of the individual (like Emerson or Ayaan Hirsi Ali) from the group.
I've got nothing against people having guns and using them for the purpose of personal and home defense. That's good. And you're probably thinking of a bunch of landowners on the frontier who band together for common defense. Good too.
Compare that to, say, a corporation that wants a profit and doesn't care if an area's land is polluted or workers oppressed to get it, and can hire a private army of trained thugs to prevent organized unions and bribe the government to look the other way.
Or to a Mormon Patriarch with a small army of fanatics who believe he's divinely appointed, that the world's full of demons and on the verge of apocalypse, and who want to raise their sons as fanatics and their daughters as child brides?
As Lee Harris points out: there was a reason Joseph Smith's neighbors wouldn't tolerate him. They were free yeomen while Smith was setting himself up as an Oriental despot, complete with a harem and a bodyguard of Jannisaries.
I distrust the government too. But then, I distrust any organization or ideology and the government is at least accountable to the people and must make its actions and intentions known.
True, some nasty and stupid interests can grow like a fungus in the beaurocratic shadows, but the system allows for them to be uprooted and brought to light without destroying the whole thing.

It can be the survival of the fittest, if the armed and organized citizens are out to displace the government. It can also be a tyranny if the government in question is unchallenged in its appropriation of power. My contention isn't that an armed and organized citizenry is the only thing that is necessary to check the power of a government, but I think it is certainly a key ingredient. And keeping the government in check or honest is very important goal, I would think.
I agree that governments should have the ability to defend the rights of individuals from the depredations of the more powerful. However, I also believe that individuals should make sure that the government is not so comfortable in its power that things like the Japanese internment can take place with impunity.
January 27th, 2009, 07:00 PM #39
The theory is our beliefs and hopes. The practice is about context and choice, about whether one has a choice, about how much time one has to process information and weigh options, about how much one knows and doesn't know about what's going on, about physical reactions over which we don't always have a lot of control, and about plans that go awry and what is available as resources and abilities to deal with logistics. There are situations where I might risk my loved ones to help others. There are situations where I might not. And if I'm starving, feverish, and can't really understand what is happening around me, my behavior would be different than if I'm not. If I have thirty seconds to assess what is happening, my action is likely to be different, more instinctual and very possibly not what I would have picked if I had an hour to think it over.
Good and evil aren't relative, but they aren't iron-clad absolutes either. Instead, perception, context, motivation, cultural pressures, personal beliefs, biology and other factors all play a part in both what we do and how we and others judge what we do. So of course you would be conflicted and not feel the same way every time about hypothetical or real life dilemmas.

I find myself wondering why it is that private groups want to take over the government, either as elected officials or through violent means. What is it about being the government that is so desirable. It seems that being the government gives a group more efficient and powerful means to enact the issues that are important to them. In a democracy, we think this is usually doesn't happen because elections tend to be self-correcting. It isn't always so, though. After all, Germany was a democracy before atheist fanatics came to power - after first annhiliting their atheist Commie opponents. Currently, Russia slid from proto-democratic to proto-totalitarian with an old KGB atheist hand at the helm. (Yes, RAD, I'm tweaking you here).
Here in America, we've had a long history of localities that are corrupt due to the entrenched office holders. The same holds true at the federal level and state level. Entrenched politicians and bureacrats fight hard to keep their turf and prevent accountability (Everyone from LBJ to Hoover to any Illinois Chicago pol).
So is a powerful elected government necessary to insure the rights of everyone, or does a powerful elected government simply become the means by which an elected group disenfranchises the rights of those who think differently.
I would say the latter. In all the global-warming hysteria, the global warmers want to shut up anyone who disagrees with them by labelling them deniers. The worst want to bring Crimes Against Humanity charges against deniers who dare to speak. This is explicitly using the power of the State to destroy people. In Canada there is mis-named Human Rights Commision that, if you dare to speak in a non-PC way, will hammer you hard. It is not a criminal trial, but the penalties can be just as severe. Again, these were set up by a well-meaning group within the government. That they have run roughshod over the rights of Canadians seems not to matter.
So, does a well-armed citizenry help keep the balance so a government doesn't think that it can do as it pleases without consequence? I certainly think it can and does, but as RAD said, groups that organize can also seek to destablize ta government that is otherwise fairly benign.

I would say 'mystic wacko fanatics occasionally supported by various Christian groups' came to power, but your more or less accurate with the rest.
And for yet another look at how theory and practice aren't jiving, this time on the international front where that declaration of human rights is on the fast track to irrelevence and is being rewritten for the very opposite interests it was meant to uphold.
Use it or lose it.

Methinks the power of the gun is being grossly over-estimated here.
Let us build a scary situation in our imaginations: let us imagine an all-volunteer force that is much better equipped than the aggregate civilian populace, even those whose fascination with automatic weapons exceeds common sense. In such an imaginary situation, please explain to me how an armed citizenry can possibly resist an armed force whose oath of enlistment includes the requirement to defend the government from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
An armed populace may have its merits, a point I do not choose to argue over. But to think that an armed population can prevent a government from acting in a disagreeable manner, seems like the ostrich stratagem to me.
January 28th, 2009, 12:41 PM #43
Well, in the U.S., or another country with a modern military, you would be right. The U.S. military could easily overcome the armed resistance of most citizens on a case by case basis. It can even easily overcome many of the somewhat organized militias in this country without much effort. Would the soldiers in those units carry out their orders to eradicate such militias? Probably, but they'd probably suffer losses as well. At such a point, would the military be able to pacify the whole country? Not a chance. They certainly couldn't do it in Iraq.

Darth Vader
Review by Atom
For those not in the know, Mighty Muggs is Hasbro's stab at the designer vinyl without the price tag and pretension. Their motto is "Made from 100% recycled awesome." We are still not sure what the awesome originally was before the recycling process but I think with enough journalistic detective work we will get to the bottom of that particular mystery. But solving that mystery is not within the scope of today's article.
Today I am showing you my latest addition to my cuddly "Villains Gallery" that I started with Mola Ram, Darth Vader!
He stands about 7 inches tall and is made of soft vinyl. Vader features 3 points of articulation. His head and arms turn, that's about it.
Paint application is pretty good, but in true mass-produced fashion there is a paint smudge on my Vader's chest plate. It's not really noticeable on the shelf but in these pictures I think it stands out.
The helmet comes off and there's an old Anakin under the mask!
But wait that's not all! His hand is removable!
Mighty Muggs' Darth Vader is just plain awesome. I may have scoffed at the Mighty Muggs concept when we first saw it at Toyfair 08 but I am certainly won over at this point. For $11.99 it's hard to go wrong.
Comments9 comments posted
That is awesome!
Removable hand and helmet? C'mon...that rocks! Even though these all use the same bodies, I love how they each have character. They often have simple, but unique, gimmicks that are really fitting. The Silver Surfer comes with his surfboard. Galactus' head is actually shaped like a super-deformed version of his iconic helmet. The GI Joe ones come with their respective weapons. I mean, they're great!
One thing though: are they really soft vinyl?? I honestly have no idea what they're made out of (if they're made from *actual* recycled plastic or not), but it sure doesn't feel like vinyl. It's fairly stiff material whatever it is...
Great and fun to review Atom.
I picked up the Mola Ram ( it was the heart that sold me) one for my friend as a gift, and I see myself buying one of these for another gift. If it wasn't for these Mighty Muggs reviews i would of not known about these.

Yeah I thought the whole line was pretty silly till I started seeing stuff like Mola Ram or Vader here. To much fun to ignore. :)

Ok now I'm confused ! I have a mighty muggs Vader as well, but the hand on mine certainly doesn't come off, nor can I see anakins head underneath !
What's happening, are there different versions for the US and Europe or something !?
I should add that I bought mine several months ago, so maybe they made a newer version ?
Good question Zolarsystem. Had to do a little digging around on line and it turns out this is a "resculpt/repaint" from Wave 6. There was a Darth Vader in Wave 1 but the paint application was slightly different and has the gimmicks I mentioned. SO keep an eye out Wave 6 should show up out that way any time now.
CollectionDX Writer
Thanks for the digging ! I actually casually collect vader figures so I deffinately want the other one .

Cilantro and Lime Rice
One of the things that I liked about Chipotles burritos was the cilantro and lime rice. I often enjoy trying to replicate recipes that I remember having had somewhere else and I knew that I would have to try making the cilantro and lime rice. Of course the first way to make it that popped into my mind was the simplest way, just mix in some chopped cilantro, lime juice and lime zest after the rice is finished cooking. This way has the advantage of being quick and easy and you can use a rice cooker to make it even easier. But I thought, why not take the opportunity to make it better. I like the flavour that toasting the rice in oil before cooking adds and since I was going to be using some oil anyways, why not add some onions and garlic to fill out the rice a bit more. I like to use brown rice whenever possible and I thought this was the perfect time to do so. The cilantro and lime rice turned out really well. It was light and fluffy and the lime juice and zest added a nice freshness to the rice. Cilantro is one of the flavours that I associate with Mexican cuisine so it was right at home in the rice as well. I used the cilantro and lime rice in the burritos that I recently made, though it would also make for a great side dish.
Cilantro and Lime Rice(makes 4+ side dish servings)
Printable Recipe
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 onion (chopped)
1 clove garlic (chopped)
1 cup long grained rice (I like to use brown)
2 cups water
1 handful cilantro (chopped)
1 lime (juice and zest)
1. Heat the oil in a pan.
2. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about a minute.
4. Add the rice and toast in the oil for a few minutes.
5. Add the water, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered until tender, about 20 minutes for white rice or 40-50 minutes for brown.
6. Remove from the heat and mix in the cilantro, lime juice and zest.

I've had the best success with Biostar, though I only use their T-series AMD boards and I wouldn't want anyone to buy a board expecting Linux support. I've never used their tech support because I don't think they officially support Linux and I see they don't hire a lot of native English speakers... Comments on them from anyone else?
Who wrote the reply? Has is someone that was actually on the BIOS team, or some PR or marketing guy? Seeing as they confused driver support with fixing a BIOS buy, I'm guessing the later. It's not just about Linux, it's that the bios is not acting in accordance with the defined standards. Was the message actually delivered to anyone with the authority and know how to fix the bug? If not I would try addressing someone who did.
What motherboards are used in Apple's Mac products? Maybe they would be more suitable for linux builds?
I realy need to say this:
Use Windows or never buy Gigabyte. end of the story, the are known for poor support in bios area, they have no updates for bioses. I'am stil getting bios updates for my 4 years old mb a7n8x-e from asus.
What about laptops shipping with Linux?
So let's create a blacklist for mainboards.
Also: what about coreboot? Will a chip with coreboot work flawlessly?

Hi: 10° Lo:6°
By Jamie Arrowsmith Thursday 29 November 2012 Updated: 29/11 16:43
DROITWICH Hockey Club 2nds walked off the pitch with their heads held high despite falling to a 2-0 at Bloxwich 2nds.
They produced a spirited performance in dreadful conditions that bodes well for the future and will aim to repeat the display tomorrow when they host Bromsgrove at Droitwich Leisure Centre (1.30pm).
Droitwich made the better start and created the first chance of the game when Pete Best found Luke Wicks in the D but he was unable to get his shot on target from an acute angle.
David Mills then fell foul of the blood rule and had to leave the field for 15 minutes after being struck in the face by the ball and it was during that period that Bloxwich got themselves on top with man of the match Cameron Grant having to make a number of excellent saves.
Two goals before half time put them in control and despite Droitwich battling hard in the second half, they were unable to get themselves back into the game.
THE 3rds bounced back to winning ways with a 2-1 victory against top of the table Khalsa.
Having controlled the opening exchanges, it came as something of a surprise to Droitwich when they fell behind to a goal from a short corner.
They were solid defensively from that point on though with Alistair Littlejohn, Pete Sankey and Nathan Stanmore shining at the back.
Spa still trailed at the break but some rallying words from captain Alex Robinson ensured they came out fighting in the second half.
Liam Hine made it 1-1 when smashing home from a short corner and he quickly grabbed a second in similar circumstances.
Droitwich then held on for the final ten minutes to leave them buoyant and confident of climbing the table in the coming weeks.
MAN of the match Adam Townsend was on target to give the 4ths a 1-1 draw at Warwick 7ths.
There was lots of good attacking hockey played throughout the contest with Spa setting the pace and dominating the majority of possession.
Warwick went ahead midway through the first half when a scrappy shot crossed the line but Droitwich continued to cause problems.
The deservedly drew level 20 minutes into the second half when Townsend scored from a short corner after being fed by Wayne Plumpton with what proved to be the final goal of the game.

Limelight Revisited 2011 benefit for the Starlight Children's Foundation from Observe Pictures on Vimeo.
Limelight Revisited 2011 benefit for the Starlight Children's Foundation brought back the club days only Peter Gatien could imagine. With KP Hendry, the original production designer of Atlanta's Limelight club, disco returned for one night only. Located next to what would be called the "Disco Kroger" for the rest of time, the Limelight was the best club Atlanta has ever offered, complete with sharks under the dance floor. On this occasion, The Limelight was resurrected at Atlanta's Center Stage Theater August 6.

When you look back to 9-3 that was the last fglrx driver with r300-r500 support. But you can still get a win driver for those. Most likely because win does not change the abi so often fglrx is weird in several ways, the fglrx devs do not even add community patches to allow usage of newer kernels, no they just keep the same code forever and require externa patches. Dropping support for hardware that is still sold is just one example, there much more where fglrx does not shine. fglrx supports ubuntu releases, thats clear because ubuntu always gets prereleases where others distros do not get those. 8.96 is in precise, all others have to use 8.96 from the opencl preview, but that lacks some pci ids in the beloved /etc/ati/control file. i mentioned often enough that that those checks using the control file and the same hardcoded pci ids in aticonfig is complete nonsense but nobody ever wants to change that. amd only fixes things which they are forced by ubuntu and if somebody else has got ideas what could be improved -> just ignore it.
It will stop putting off newbies (and hinder adoption of GNU/Linux distros).
At most forums, fglrx figures prominently in a large number threads started by newbies.
The official comment for win8 is nice too: win8 will ship with the last supported hd2-4k driver, no downloadable win8 driver will support those cards. Find a bug? Tough luck.

Making the Switch: Critiquing Three New Diabetes Devices
These days, I'm living the trifecta of new diabetes devices.
A new insulin pump, CGM (continuous glucose monitor) and glucose meter have made their way into my hands, allowing me to change up my entire D-gadget roster for the first time in more than a decade.
Two of them have already been bought and processed through insurance. And I'm still deciding on the third, weighing the pros and cons that play into whether I will…

Brainstorming meeting on the "Right to Health"
The Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) in Belize called for a brainstorming meeting on the "Right to Health" (RTH) on 17 June 2009 at the PAHO/WHO Belize conference room from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. The objective of the meeting was to determine strategies for strengthening the promotion of the RTH in Belize.
PAHO/WHO's technical cooperation in this subject includes raising awareness of the right to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health (the right to health) and other related human rights, particularly as they relate to the most vulnerable populations. These include persons living with HIV, disability, mental health disorders, indigenous peoples, older persons, young people, and children. PAHO/WHO's strategies on health and human rights have as an objective the dissemination and promotion of the international human rights norms and standards among community leaders, health service users, advocacy group members, ombudspersons, medical professionals, government workers, decision makers, and the public in general.
Belize is ready to strengthen this aspect of its national health development, and an important first step is sensitizing various audiences to these important issues. Belize's Universal Periodic Review by the UN Human Rights Council in May 2009 provides an opportune platform for these efforts.
Entities include:
The Ombudsman
