Devoted Pearlshipper and as such I have released Chapter 4 of my new fic :
My suggestions may be a bit weird, but this is purely because I know more Chinese than Japanese (I am an actual Chinese, though from Singapore) and would use Chinese linguistic logic (as you will see later) over Japanese linguistic logic (because I only know some hiragana, katakana and some readings of kanji). For this reason, I will leave the choice of choosing the correct reading of the name I give to you people.
If Ash and Dawn had children (2), they would be named 慧 (the girl) and 輝 (the boy). The reason why I would choose these names would be that both names are related to either Ash's or Dawn's Japanese names, as follows:
- Ash's Japanese name is most likely derived from a reading of the kanji 智. It is also his name in all Chinese localised versions (Mandarin or Cantonese). It forms a compound with 慧 to form 智慧 (intelligence: though Ash is hardly the epitome of it*).
- Dawn's Japanese name is most likely derived from a reading of the kanji 光. It is also her name in all Chinese localised versions. It forms a compound with 輝 to form 光輝 (radiance, glory).
- For a final case of fittingness, both 慧 and 輝 are spoken with the same pronunciation in Mandarin (unfortunately not Cantonese), only with different tones. (慧: huì; 輝: huī)
- I assigned genders for each name based on my personal experience.
*While this may be misconstrued as a cheap shot against Ash, this is not: I am just drawing attention to the fact that Ash is not above doing massively stupid things in impulse.

I just checked with my Japanese dictionary.
Assuming I chose correctly, 慧 should be pronounced as Satoi (さとい) and 輝 would be pronounced as Teru (てる). Don't quote me on this though: I found 5 possible readings of 慧 (one of which is Satoshi) and 7 possible readings of 輝 (one of which is Hikaru). It must be noted that both characters have a possible Nanori (名乗り) reading of Akira.

Well, its been a long time, hasn't it, my fellow Pearlshippers!
Still unable to come here often, i'm going to back in this thread, find the post about me asking what fanfics to read to get my AshxDawn desires higher, and (hopefully) keep up with this thread!

I find this funny.
Ahem, so my intent was not clear enough.
- 慧 (the girl mentioned earlier at post #6502) would be called Satoi.
- 輝 (the boy mentioned at same post) would be called Teru.
- Use my readings with caution.
More details
Unfortunately, Japanese has many different readings for each individual kanji word, which is why I wentin the same post.I will leave the choice of choosing the correct reading of the name I give to you people.Which may cause problems because the first one could be read as Satoshi (duh) and the second one is too close to Hikari (probably makes it more appropriate though). Also, both 慧 and 輝 can be read as Akira as well.I found 5 possible readings of 慧 (one of which is Satoshi) and 7 possible readings of 輝 (one of which is Hikaru).
Further thoughts
Another recommendation I would give for the child's name would be Hoshino (星野). I took this name from a character in Kafka on the Shore, a Japanese novel I read. (I don't really read novels: I only read it under the recommendation of a reviewer. He didn't mention the less family-friendly aspects of the novel though.) My reasoning is because 星 (star) can be associated with the words 智 (智星 can be read as 'star of wisdom') and 光 (星光 just means starlight), both making for quite an appropriate association. In the novel, Hoshino is a random truck driver who got dragged into the events of the story because he wanted to help an old man to go somewhere, kind of like "I have no idea what I am doing here" Satoshi. The 野 (can be read as wild, reckless) part of the name... well you get the idea (I was talking about the "reckless" bit).

Hoshino 星野 is pretty much a surname. I'd say that any name with 智 or 光 sounds fine, then adding some typically masculine or feminine given name components to them.
So something like 智花;智華 Tomoka or 光子 Mitsuko would be feminine given names, or go through a list of common Japanese given names with 智 or 光, sorting them into masculine or feminine, because that's the closest I can think of.
On the topic of Pearlshipping, I'm also doing some research regarding the Hikari fanbase (mainly Pearlshippers in particular) in Japan. Messageboards there tend to think a lot on minor hints, and they've already picked up on the hints far earlier than we did, especially with the BW opening 'Best Wishes' and all that. On that note, there were radio (Team Rocket radio, if you're interested http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/anime/rd/) episodes featuring Hikari's seiyuu sometime in September 2012. It was expected that she was going to leave again (and she said that she was going to leave again), but what she said at the end of the program and for much of the conversation made some Hikari fans feel agitated (though in a curious way). Obviously they aren't going reveal openly about a possible Hikari revival because that might cause a huge public relations disaster for the anime producers and the anime fans. And they did keep quite a few surprises for the anime viewers before.
Like I said, there is roughly a slim chance of her appearing again, but to say that she would never appear again is rather pessimistic and it has shown that patterns don't matter when it comes to the Pokemon anime.

@karczx, I have a good surprise today to you. Read those hints:
And here comes my theory about get any chabce of Dawn re-joining the cast. If the theory has a chance of being as reality, the writers have to do days/months before the announcement and before the announcement the following things. In them, there's:
-Make Team Rocket back into the funny mode (mode that ended in DP191) in the filler sga of Best Wishes.
-Saying or implying earlier than usual that both Iris and Cilan will leave. Ther poster with the Sayonara came out on 23th March, a good 6 months before Iris and Cilan will leave.
-Dawn's Piplup getting merchandise months and months after the cameo until the movie merchandise came on. Also, there's recommended that there's a set of merch of relative importance just before the new series. I see a lot of Piplup toys before the movie. I love Marine could be a example of this* (and one note: Manaphy are getting a C-Gear with Jirachi and the former appeared last Thursday).
-There has been a hole that with the known events of Decolora Adventures (this is until a poster revealed all of Da!) there aren't enough episodes to cover all the plot points presented. And that July Fan don't reveal anything about the September episodes (or better, the Kanto episodes). Check.
-And probably the most important of all, the first XY character to be confirmed to be in the XY anime should be Ash Ketchum and not any new main character. This will be contrary to BW and DP where Ash was revealed later. Checkkkkk.
Notes: At least for the first year or so, the 3 Kalos starters had to share screentime equally to promote the games.
The XY merchandise shouldn't have Piplup until Dawn is confirmed to come back Merchandise can't give such spoiler.
To complement things, a bit of bad ratings and the make wanting to hype arcs. In other words, the anime has to be in a situation that they could prefer shock moments.
All the hints posted could gop well with Shauna and Serena. before anyone ask. But:
Serena is too old for being the main girl.
Shauna is technically a game rival (very friendly but a rival), what gives doubts of joining the main cast. If Shauna were to make the main cast,l and specially knowing that Ash will go to Lumiose City, my guess is that Shauna could be a Pokemon Trainer II defeating the Gyms that Ash didn0't fight (Cause: differencfes between X and Y in the Gyms).
I think that Pokemon is beautiful and has its charm
Serebii, Bulbagarden
Note: I decided to not post post that had cause hate to me anymore. If you see one, please PM me and I will delete the moment I'm aware and I'm online.
I need to take a break in the anime forum because these forum bored me.
Interesting. I think they've also shown that Decolora might not be the final arc in Best Wishes, since it might be shown that Iris and Cilan leave as soon as they arrive at Kanto.
Also, there is another possible hint. The third track to the BW 2nd season opening 'Be an Arrow' was 'Kimi no mune ni LaLaLa', along with a special CD jacket showing Ash, Dawn, Pikachu and Piplup along with lyrics to the song. And they also released a Piplup plush at the time too, which is still pretty popular amongst the hosts of Pokemon Smash when it was showcased.
I don't think bad ratings made a difference in the anime, since it was intended to be as short as possible, since they didn't really have any remakes of past games. It's also shown that they didn't really take Best Wishes that seriously, so they must be saving the seriousness for XY (same writers and directors as before, with different storyboard writers and animators).
For the Toyoguchi guest interview in September 2012, here's the part (and final part) that riled up some Hikari/SatoHika fans with excitement and curiosity over in Japan, luckily saved by a Pearlshipper:
Basically they're trying to hint that Toyoguchi might make a return, as she wishes to be a 'regular' cast member and 'pleads' with the ones in charge of the anime. The way they asked the questions is that they're trying to tease the radio audience about by hinting at something. Sounds a little familiar for what they did with hyping up certain things lately, especially the whole fan reaction to Sylveon's fairy typing. So far after AG, Toyoguchi only voice acted as Dawn. Contrary to Yuji Ueda who voiced Marlon and a few other characters in Best Wishes after Brock's departure, but he has always voice acted as side characters.R団「またちょっとお別れしちゃうんだって」

I do agree that the hype for a Hikari revival is approaching a fever pitch among Japanese Pearlies. I however think it may not be for XY. Although I would LOVE Hikari to return for XY i think that there will be a small Kanto saga after DA. if the XY anime doesnt start till Oct. 17th That is enough time for a 6-10 ep saga that starts in mid August or so. We still dont know all the episodes of Da. Beeheeym is next then the new Gen VI pkmn but what about Clair and the Farewell episodes. Next week is the Mewtwo special and Movie 15 reair. The week after is skipped I believe due to a hour naruto special. We also learned that another Gen VI pkmn will surface in a August episode. Who is to say it isnt a small kanto saga in which Ash sees Hikari or Misty or Brock and learns of Karos then Iris and Dent goes off to be awesome elsewhere.
I will be paying close attention to the after episode promos to see but while I have hope and small evidence to sustain why Hikari is on her way back even if for a cameo it may not be during XY.

Devoted Pearlshipper and as such I have released Chapter 4 of my new fic :
I am going to squeal like a girl if Dawn does return for XY. But I am afraid I HATE Piplup. But uh Piplup is Dawn's Pikachu, so it's going to stay with her no matter what. I wish they don't shove Piplup onto our faces. But then again, even I think Dawn might return only for a brief Kanto arc. Sure I understand the evidence fer92 posted, but I want to be Mr. Skeptic for now. Because being skeptical makes life better in the Pokemon fandom.
Well, that's assuming we don't know how long XY would be. It could run for about 3 years just like last time or maybe even 4 years, enough time for a Hikari revival fever pitch to die out. And by that time, Hikari would become an 'old character', so it's very unlikely that she will show up outside of a flashback cameo about 4-5 years after her last appearance. Therefore, if she has to make a regular revival, then it would most likely show up around the end of Best Wishes, right at the moment of the fever pitch, culminating into a revival. Since XY anime release is late compared to the previous series (October compared to September), there's still much more to cover. Though there is still some doubt, since it'll be hard to reverse what happened in DP191, where it was seen as a farewell. But at the same time, what happened during Hikari's cameo in BW2 sort of reversed it, but not entirely in a satisfactory way. And if now's not the time, then it never will be.
That Gen VI Pokemon might not be another Pokemon, but possibly another Noivern that might be related to Clair, Iris and the Dragon Master plot.

To be honest, I have a feeling that if they do return Dawn, it's purely going to be for Piplup, who's insanely popular in Japan.
Another thing: if Kalos is indeed confirmed to have Contests again, as many have speculated, that would be the perfect excuse for Dawn's return, either as Ash's companion or a recurring character (maybe she could be the rival to Ash's new girl companion, if she turns out to be a co-ordinator? Who knows). Of course, Contests haven't been confirmed yet, but I think it's pretty likely that they will make a return, considering what we know about the region so far. If they do, it would be a pity to not reference Dawn (heck, even May).
If they made Hikari return as a rival for the new chick that would be an amazing twist and a convention breaker. The even gens is normally when the rules are bent more I would love that to happen then maybe Hikari could win either a GF or a stylist (w/e i would be I believe Hikari would go to Karos as a stylist.) MAybe even Satoshi could get to the finals even if he loses I want to see progression and he does his best in even Gens. So if we cant get Hikari back as a main character I would love her to be a recurring rival a la Shinji and Nozomi. That would be great.

Friend Safari is Dragons (Noibat, Sliggoo,Fraxure)
Devoted Pearlshipper and as such I have released Chapter 4 of my new fic :
Hikari is tied strongly with Piplup and thus Piplup merchandising as a result. So they can't get rid of her as Piplup is too popular and you really couldn't have Piplup without his trainer Hikari. To Japanese Pearlshippers, any promotion of any Pokemon associated with Hikari, mainly her Piplup and Buneary, is a support for Pearlshipping and Hikari. The studio only pays attention to concerns on the domestic market (Japan), and Piplup (and Hikari by extension) is popular in Japan but not elsewhere. The interview also hinted at Toyoguchi possibly back to being a 'regular', as a co-star/traveling companion, much like Satoshi. Since she only had one role after her Hikari audition, it's likely (but not definitely) that she would return to the main cast as Hikari. BW was a testing ground of sorts to see if other Pokemon could be as popular as Piplup, such as Axew, Pansage and Oshawott. Since they didn't have as much success presumably in Japan compared to Piplup, they're probably backtracking.
The one prediction that I had in mind, in the case if she does return, is that if Satoshi has Callum's clothing, then Hikari would go with Serena's clothing. Since Hikari is very much a female version of Satoshi and Serena does give a strong Hikari-like vibe, so it's not hard to imagine her like that. In XY, so far the only one first confirmed to be in the anime is Satoshi, no one else, breaking a trend compared to previous series. That might mean they would save an unexpected surprise (maybe expected amongst some Pearlshippers) for everyone within the coming months.
It's unknown as to what kind of role Hikari would play in XY if she does appear, because they would have to cover up a lot of plot holes associated with her return. What else could they think of for keeping Hikari as a regular in the show? How would her interactions with Satoshi change in XY? There's so much to wonder about in the case if she ever does make a return as a regular cast member.

If Hikari does retuem tp the show as a main character I dont see many plot points needed to explain why. The Hikari go to Hoenn deal never made it out of Japan so I dont think it was made Canon due to its chance of confusing the international watchers. They didnt mentioned it at all in BW2 so I doubt its Canon now. I would love Hikari in the new chicks outfit it would be cool a better color scheme would be nice though. I can see hikari back as a stylist or coordinator anything else just seems weird.

Friend Safari is Dragons (Noibat, Sliggoo,Fraxure)
Devoted Pearlshipper and as such I have released Chapter 4 of my new fic :
It would sure be interesting if Hikari made Satoshi's new outfit and had a note attached to it saying she's a designer now working from lumiose, which is why satoshi goes there first.
I guess it's safe to say that they abandoned the plot of her going to Hoenn as it wasn't mentioned at all. So that might be a sign that the episode was bordering on non-canon. But the more questionable parts are how would their reactions be in XY compared to in DP? Would they be using the same formula, or would they attempt to shake things up a bit? Since it's known that they have the closest bond with each other, it's a little hard to determine how their reactions will be and how their relationship will develop in XY. But with what they're doing right now, maybe it is a small step in the right direction.
I mean, even if they were to bring her back just solely for the sake of Piplup, it wouldn't be so bad. On the bright side, we get to see Hikari as part of the main cast again, and potentially more Pokemon goods sold. And if it means anything, it would certainly count as a victory for Pearlshippers. The excessive promotion of Piplup did slightly correlate with the series having more Pearlshipping hints in DP for instance.
As for the Hikari rival hypothesis, I think they did portray her as a rival of sorts during her cameo in the Junior cup arc, especially in the openings before she was replaced by Kotetsu.
I have a question for everyone:
IF/WHEN Hikari does return in some capacity how/where would it happen?
I'll save my answer until after I see some others.
My 3DS Friend Code is: 4141-3174-0404
Friend Safari is Dragons (Noibat, Sliggoo,Fraxure)
Devoted Pearlshipper and as such I have released Chapter 4 of my new fic :
There are two scenarios I thought about, one at the end of BW, and the other at the start of XY.
When: Maybe some time after the arrival back in Kanto, where she reunites with Ash, but also probably meeting Iris and Cilan again as well as being introduced to Alexa or maybe shortly after Iris and Cilan leave the main cast. They might also reveal who the companions are prior to the airing of the episode. She might show up as an unexpected companion in Kalos, probably.
How, if first scenario: Hikari presumably surprises Satoshi again but might hide something from him, probably over her performance in the Wallace Cup. Unlike with what happened last time, she probably lost or placed horribly in the rankings. Presumably she didn't get the Aqua Ribbon like her last Wallace Cup. She manages to find out about Kalos one way or the other when she finds out about contests being held there. She leaves most of her team behind aside from Piplup and probably Buneary. Like Ash, she decides to start a new journey, 'resetting' her. Hikari has always wanted to travel with Satoshi, so she tags along again and travels with him to Lumiose City and start their journey to Kalos.
How, if second scenario: Hikari surprises Satoshi just as he arrives in Lumiose City. Hikari tells him about her unfortunate Wallace Cup results, she tells Satoshi that she wants to compete in the Kalos Grand Festival after her abysmal performance in the Wallace Cup. She shows up with Piplup and maybe Buneary.
Either way, Hikari and Satoshi get new outfits based on the player characters of XY, but it would be interesting if they were both designed by Hikari rather than being given those outfits by their mothers. Hikari might choose Fennekin, a more feminine mammalian Pokemon that's within Hikari's aesthetic taste (mammalian Pokemon aside from Togekiss), while Satoshi would probably choose Chespin or Froakie first, then acquire the other later on. I find that the first scenario seems to be more plausible than the second. I'm betting that Decolora would still feature episodes from Kanto, and that Hikari might show up at the very end of BW, culminating into XY. The roughly two month gap between the Alexa Noivern episode and the last BW episode would seem to give enough time for just one episode showcasing Hikari's revival as a regular in XY. So I guess even though it wouldn't be surprising to see Hikari in Pallet Town and that BW/XY is geared towards a younger generation, it wouldn't make much of a difference if she showed up.

Phoronix: Linux Kernel Whackos: Drop Everything But ARM

It saddens me that there are actually people in the world ignorant enough to truly believe that this is a valid idea.

I like others HATE these stupid trolling pointless articles on Phoronix.
Michael, you are directly fueling this nonsense - so i have come up with an easy solution;
I have now enabled adblock+ and noscript for Phoronix.com ~ this means you will make zero $$$ from any of my views, i highly suggest other users whom are sick of these stupid articles do the same. I will think about allowing ads after sufficient time of NOT seeing such STUPID articles on the site.
So take your pick - make money or flame. Frankly, it makes zero difference in my life, which path you choose

But I do not like NOT PUBLIC DRIVERS that a lot of ARM devices have.
GPL must do a new version - in my opinion - where hardware vendors MUST PUBLISH THEIR DRIVERS and HARDWARE PACKS for every device. I am not asking for FOSS DRIVERS, I want to download BLOBs too.
If we buy an ARM device, tablet or phone, or set top box, we must be able to install whatever Linux we like to, Android, Aliyun, Debian, Ubuntu, Arch Sabayon, Fedora Suse or any fork WITHOUT PUBLIC DRIVERS there are no freedom.
Devices with SECRET DRIVERS are as proprietary as any proprietary OS, as you do not have the freedom of changing anything even it is open source.
And of course, a standard method for installing ARM distros, from USBs or from other computers as you can do at CISC CPUs with Multisystem or unetbootin or even Yumi USB pendrives installing from ISOs with grub with Linux packages with GUIs for installing from PCs - the ROMs programs are usually MS WOS and OSX only, what a paradox for a Linux kernel OS -
I love Android, but i think there must be PUBLIC HARDWARE PACKS for every ARM device in order to be Linux GPL approved, to let the user install whatever Android fork, Aliyun, Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Sabayon or others they want.

I just got this from the Sub Vets and thought it might be of interest here.
Mike K.
Columbus Sub Vets Announcement
Great News from Ken Sewell, our submarine author of RED STAR ROGUE, "I would like to announce that we have signed an agreement with Warner Brothers for the purchase of the film option for Red Star Rogue.
Normally a producer or group of investors will purchase the film rights. They in turn, attempt to sell the project to a studio. In our case, the studio has purchased the film rights on the recommendation of two of its oldest and most respected producer/writers. This greatly increases the chance that Red Star Rogue will make it to the silver screen. The normal process takes about three to four years."
Ken continues, "I want to extend my thanks to the USSVI, their support has made Red Star Rogue a success."
In earlier developments, Ken announced to the members and guest attending our January Columbus Sub Vets meeting that contracts had been signed for his next book which promises to be another tale of intrigue even more revealing than his current book which has been so successful.
In conjunction with Ken Sewell's announcement, the Columbus Base had for the first time, an Audio Books edition of RED STAR ROGUE available for purchase. The cost is $26.00, which includes tax and shipping.
The RED STAR ROGUE Audio Book can be used as a wonderful DONATION to local VA Hospitals or other senior citizen centers. Anyplace where people with poor, or no eyesight can enjoy them. Others like the business man that just doesn't have time to sit and read and people on lengthy commutes to their jobs would really appreciate the convenience of having a copy.
Columbus Base continues to sell autographed copies of the hardback book for $22.00, tax and shipping included. A portion of all Red Star Rogue sales (books and audio-books) will be, and already has been, donated to USSVI charities.
To order by credit card visit the Columbus Base website, www.Columbus.com Order information is on the home page.
Otherwise, you can send checks or money orders made payable to Columbus Base of USSVI. Mail your order to:
Bill Anderson
8395 Lucas Pike
Plain City, OH 43064-8814
$26.00 will get you the Audio Book. For $22.00 Bill will ship the hard cover edition. The latter will be personally autographed by Ken Sewell.
Respectfully yours,

Mina O'Reilly, an officer at Logan Airport's Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in Boston, must discipline an employee responsible for a security breach that resulted in a 45-minute terminal closure during peak hours, a potential threat to traveler safety, and travel delays across the U.S. O'Reilly considers the impact of her decision on a shifting labor force: the growing divide between those employees deeply committed to the mission and those joining to simply find a job. The senior TSA staff and airlines are calling for accountability, but the person responsible for the breach is a passionate and valued employee who has been with TSA since its formation. As her shift approaches, O'Reilly must decide whether or not she can clock in as usual.

Ken and Flossie 'surprised and very honored
The Mammoth Lakes Rotary Club this week named Ken and Flossie Coulter as the first-ever recipients of the "Service Above Self" award.
The award is presented to an individual or couple who model the motto through their actions in providing outstanding service to our community, said Rick Phelps, president of the noon Rotary.
Before you hit that "send" key on your computer this holiday season, please consider shopping locally.
Your dollars spent locally benefit the entire community, not just the individual business. Statistics show that for every dollar spent in a local business, 70 cents is re-circulated within that community.
Businesses in Mammoth need the support of tourists and residents alike.
I urge you to get behind this idea; shop locally this holiday season and encourage your friends to do the same.
According to recent news reports, Mammoth Lakes Tourism and an "Exploratory Committee" have been investigating the implementation of a TBID (Tourism Business Improvement District).
As I understand it, this TBID would establish a "self assessment" on Mammoth businesses.
The proceeds of the assessment would provide funding to Mammoth Lakes Tourism for their marketing efforts.
This "self assessment" would be a percentage of purchases, just like a sales tax.
I'd like to respond to the Dec. 7 Times Editorial regarding the Town Council's approval of the Restructuring Plan at its Dec. 5 meeting.
I'd like to correct a statement in the piece that indicates I'm putting out the word that if calls aren't answered promptly, don't blame me or the other members of the Police Department.
I have no intention of that and at this point, there is no point in placing blame on anyone.
I love the holidays, or at least many things about it. I love the festivities, the decorations, the music, and most of all the gathering of family and friends. However, as time has gone on I have found myself sporting a very "scroogish" attitude toward gift giving.
The Mammoth town government has wasted a lot of time over the years, approving projects that don't get built, adopting town plans that still reside on dusty bookshelves, and so on.
We're not alone in this. Actually, we figure that instead of counting sheep as a sleeping strategy, we could starting counting inconsequential reports and proposals in, say, Sacramento, for the rest of our lives, but then we'd never wake up again.
The Mammoth Ice Rink is scheduled to open today (Friday) at 11:30 a.m., the town's recreation department announced.
An outdoor facility located at 416 Sierra Park Road adjacent to the Mammoth Lakes Library, the rink once again will offer public skating sessions, hockey clinics, pick-up hockey, Friday night lessons, and is available for rental.
A "Skate with Santa" goes off on Thursday, Dec. 20, between 5:30 p.m. and 8 p.m.
Yes, Virginia Lakes, there is a Santa Claus. That would be Greg Newbry. Not that you'd know it, but that was Newbry out there in the beard and the red suit in the cold night at the Town Christmas Tree Lightinglast week, for the 37th straight year. …
The sleet poured down in great, slanting sheets as I walked the narrow, unplowed road. I bent my (hatless) head into the wind and picked up my drenched and booted feet and kept walking. Cars passed me, casting off heavy chunks of rain-soaked snow from their spinning tires, soaking me even more.
It didn't really matter at that point—it was impossible to get much wetter.
"What a @# $@ idiot," I mumbled to myself, rain dripping off my face, not one word in three fit to print.
As soon as the Thanksgiving leftovers have been put away, a parade of Christmastime entertainment steps into center stage.
Twirling the golden baton are the holiday-themed movies more heartwarming than hot cocoa, and Christmas carols endlessly streaming on the radio. Oh, and that's just the beginning!
A majority of yuletide stories are based on Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." The protagonist doesn't believe in the Christmas spirit until he is confronted with his own cynicism, and has to inspire Christmas joy in others.
Faced with few hot-button issues more searing than single-family home rentals, the Mammoth Lakes Planning Commission on Wednesday took a giant leap … sideways.
Splitting their votes in a rare display of discord, the commission voted, 3-2, to push the issue directly to the Town Council, but only after the overburdened town staff can complete more research into the ages-old issue.
In addition, the five-member commission decided that any work on the issue should not begin until after the current winter ski and snowboard season.
A new medical marijuana dispensary is in the pipeline for Mammoth.
It is called "The Eastern Sierra Life Cooperative," owned by Mammoth resident Don Wright.
It is to open in the space formerly occupied by "Green Mammoth Medical Marijuana Dispensary" in the KMMT building on Laurel Mountain Road.
The Mammoth Lakes Planning Commission on Wednesday unanimously passed the application, giving Mammoth its second medical marijuana operation.
Undersheriff Ralph Obenberger was unanimously appointed as Mono County Sheriff by the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, Dec. 11, and sworn in on the same day by Superior Court Judge Stan Eller.
Obenberger's term will end in two years, at which point the seat will be up for an election.
He will begin serving on the evening of Dec. 20, after Sheriff Richard "Rick" Scholl officially retires.
The Mammoth Times interviewed Obenberger prior to his swearing in.
MT: What do you think are the top three law enforcement challenges facing Mono County in the next two years?
In one of the more enduring traditions that Mammoth has to offer, the Village Championships rank among the top.
For 37 years, the locals in Mammoth have raced each other on the racecourses at Mammoth Mountain Ski Area, and it's no time to stop now.
With good snow cover expected throughout the season, the VCs open Jan. 8 and continue through the Finals on April 9.
The old hands will be at it again, with new faces once more popping into view.
The theme this season is "COLOSSAL," said Drew Krempel of the ski area's race department.
Garbage dumping fees are about to go up next year after the county's supervisors voted Tuesday to raise rates a few dollars, or eight percent, a month per ton of garbage—from $68.50 a ton to $74 a ton for municipal waste—beginning in January. Rates for construction debris will also go up—from $50 a ton to $74 a ton—a 48 percent increase. Dumping fees for organic waste, such as tree branches, lawn clippings, etc., will no longer be free and will now cost $5 per load.

BillCutterz Money Saving Blog
Valentine�s Day � that one day of the year when it�s absolutely unforgivable to ignore your significant other. Even if they�ve told you that they don�t want or expect anything, you must know that they do. Everyone wants to feel special on this day.
In fact you don�t need to spend much money and look for the perfect gift for days to impress your loved one. There are various ways to make them feel special, loved and cherished. Here is how to save money on Valentine's Day.
Original Surprise
On Valentine�s Day it�s best to be original and surprise your loved one with something they aren�t expecting. If you live with them, it�s even easier to organize a dinner and decorate the house for them. Look for a recipe that you can easily cook and don�t forget the desert. Buy flowers and scatter them around the living room or the bedroom � this will create the right atmosphere for the celebration.
Do-It-Yourself Present
If you want to be extra original, a handmade gift is the perfect way to show your love and care. Why don�t you make a scrapbook with your photos as a couple? Or buy a pretty jar made of glass and fill it with small love coupons. These are quite popular and your loved one will be thrilled. A love coupon can be just a small note with a handwritten text on it. Anything you feel that you could do for your partner, write it down on a list: walks, cinema, cooked dinner, shopping spree, trip, massage, surprise, etc. This is a very thoughtful way to show your partner that you truly love them. They can take one coupon every week or as often as they wish. It will make the rest of the year special and unique � full of giving and special occasions.
Organize a Romantic Date
If you don�t want to spend Valentine�s Day at home, you can organize the best date your loved one has been on. Book a table for two in their favourite restaurant, take them to the cinema, or do something fun together � play bowling, pool or go dancing. This is many women�s and men�s idea of a perfect Valentine�s Day � doing things together, having a laugh and enjoying the evening, outside of home. What�s best than giving the gift of time together, fun and activities? No other present can feel as special as spending the day together and doing all the things you both love.
There is a lot of pressure about Valentine�s Day and the expectations are high. However, you don�t have to break the bank to have a brilliant and memorable celebration with your significant other.

The AAA Carolinas/Special Olympics NC tow truck will be on the roads supporting motorists in Charlotte.
Whether it's planning your vacation, finding the best route to take to your destination or providing roadside assistance, AAA membership is synonymous with support but in 2013 AAA is taking their commitment to service to a new level. AAA Carolinas has partnered with the North Carolina Law Enforcement Torch Run to benefit Special Olympics North Carolina to become an official statewide sponsor. AAA Carolinas is out to make a difference one tow at a time by raising awareness and support for charitable organizations. The goal is show their care extends beyond the roadways and into the community. Their financial support is coupled with a flat bed tow truck painted Special Olympics red and covered with the Special Olympics North Carolina logo and tag line "Revealing the Champion in all of us." The truck hit the roads in Charlotte in mid-March, generating awareness and support for Special Olympics NC athletes. "We are very appreciative of AAA Carolina's support of Special Olympics North Carolina through the NC Law Enforcement Torch Run," said Keith L. Fishburne, Special Olympics NC president/CEO. "The painted tow truck is such an innovative concept and I'm sure it will garner attention and attract new support and awareness in the Charlotte community." AAA Carolina also plans to have the tow truck as part of the 2013 Special Olympics World's Largest Truck Convoy leg in Charlotte on September 21.

Star banking analyst has his eye on KeyCorp, and likes what he sees
Blog Entry:
May 21, 2013 11:03 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
A quick-hit edition:
wins some praise in
this MarketWatch.com story
about big-shot bank analyst Michael Mayo's tour of banks' annual meetings.
Mr. Mayo is in Tampa, Fla., today to attend the J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. shareholders meeting. The analyst with securities firm CLSA "has already attended three annual meetings this year, challenging management at Citigroup Inc., Morgan Stanley and KeyCorp," according to the website.
The clever Mr. Mayo "has taken the unusual step for an analyst to buy stock — 100 shares of each of the three companies — to become eligible to attend the meetings," MarketWatch.com reports.
He tells the website, "I got significant information out of each of the three meetings I have been to so far," Mr. Mayo said.
At KeyCorp's annual meeting on May 16, Mr. Mayo "found out more about the Cleveland bank's efforts to improve its efficiency ratio — the measure of expenses as a percentage of revenue," MarketWatch.com reports.
Mr. Mayo went to the KeyCorp meeting skeptical of lead director Alexander Cutler, the chairman and CEO of
Eaton Corp.
, but after meeting him, "I left thinking this is a very impressive person," the analyst says.
And speaking of Mr. Cutler, he's quoted in
Wall Street Journal
contrasting the recovering U.S. economy with the lagging European economy.
"During the downturn, U.S. companies managed to slash costs at home, and have sharply increased earnings there despite a tepid recovery in North America,"
The Journal
says. "But in Europe, the same companies are still struggling to get their bloated businesses into shape, hobbled by rigid labor laws, high payroll costs and political sensitivities over job cuts amid double-digit unemployment levels."
Europe "seems to be mired in molasses," Mr. Cutler says.
The Journal
says Eaton, which makes electrical and hydraulic parts, "is benefiting from a rebound in U.S. housing, but is still suffering in Europe, particularly in its auto-parts business."
A few months ago, the paper reports, "Eaton expected the European auto market to decline 2% in 2013. Now it expects a drop of between 6% and 7%."
You don't expect fine dining at stadiums, but no less an authority than
Travel + Leisure
magazine says stadium food
is improving
, and
FirstEnergy Stadium, home of the Cleveland Browns
is one of the places where you'll find exceptional food options this fall.
is the magazine's take on the football stadium's food:
In 2012, club levels got an upgrade in food options with new concepts by local celebrity chefs. Head over to
Sawyer's Street Frites
(from Jonathon Sawyer) for modern renditions of Cleveland classics like the Carnegie Dip, made with beef brisket that's been smoked at the stadium for three weeks and topped with caramelized onions, aged cheddar, and
. At Michael Symon's
B Spot
, all burgers are made with a Pat LaFrieda blend; the Fat Doug is topped with pastrami, coleslaw, and Swiss cheese.
Wash It Down with:
The outrageously decadent Vanilla Bean Apple Pie Bacon Shake at B Spot.
More kudos for Ohio food comes in
USA Today
of the 15 best ice cream parlors in the world, which includes Columbus-based
Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams
"James Beard Award-winning chef Jeni Britton Bauer is at the helm of this grassroots — yet rapidly growing — chain,"
USA Today
says of Jeni's, which has a shop in Chagrin Falls and now has made its products widely available in Northeast Ohio stores.
"The company prides itself on 'pure flavor in whatever direction moves us at any moment,' which ranges from wildberry-lavender to poached pear and everything imaginable in between,"
USA Today
Among the fancy company in which Jeni's finds itself: Fenocchio of Nice, France; Bar Gelateria Ercole of Pizzo, Italy; Vipiteno Gelateria in Sao Paulo, Brazil; and Big Gay Ice Cream in New York City.
Cleveland is
still a laggard
when it comes to selling tickets for the May 29 U.S. vs. Belgium game at FirstEnergy Stadium.
The Washington Post
says about 18,500 tickets have been sold for the friendly. That's the lowest number of tickets among four upcoming home matches for the U.S. men's team.
A June 2 friendly against German at Washington's RFK Stadium has sold 38,500 tickets. Seattle is second with 32,000 for the World Cup qualifier against Panama on June 11. The 20,000-seat Rio Tinto Stadium outside Salt Lake City is sold out for the June 18 qualifier against Honduras.
The matchup with Belgium should be great fun.
The New York Times
that's Belgium "is bringing a top-flight team to the United States for a friendly game in Cleveland."
Belgium's team includes goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who was in the nets in Madrid last Friday when Atlético defeated Real, 2-1 in extra time, to win the King's Cup tournament. The team also includes a slew of players from England's Premier League, including Eden Hazard, Mousa Dembele, Vincent Kompany, Romelu Lukaku, Marouane Fellaini, Christian Benteke and others.
The Belgians are taking the match seriously.
Soccer America
that the fight jet-lag, the Belgian players will be given space-age, light-emitting luminettes for the trip to and from the United States.

Outsourcing Social Media: Good or Bad Idea?
One of the big concerns about using social media for business and marketing is time. Social media activities do pose a risk of drawing you in and taking up a huge amount of your day just interacting with people.
Add that the technology is changing all the time. It can seem impossible to keep up with all the tools, software, techniques, etiquette, and social media best practices.
It's hardly surprising that people are looking to social media consultants, agencies and contractors to take on their social media activity. But should you? Let's explore this.

Near the 2012 election, and after bragging about killing bin Laden based on intelligence gained by water boarding (a tactic he campaigned against), Obama and his O-bots lied to us about Benghazi.
O-bots are the many disciples in his administration and the media who, like robots, do Obama's bidding when it's asked for or implied. O-bots knowingly put out the false narrative blaming the 9/11 attacks on a "spontaneous reaction" to an obscure You Tube video. Either the Benghazi Film Critics' Society is the most brutal in the world, or the release of the amateur video just happened to coincide with "Bring Your Rocket-Propelled Grenade Launcher to Work Day." It was a lie from the get-go.
Hillary Clinton's State Department colluded with other agencies - and probably Obama's campaign team in Chicago - to rewrite the post-Benghazi talking points eleven times and purge them of anything that reflected negatively on the President. Her redacting the facts from the administration's narrative in order to protect her meal ticket, the President of the United States, rings nostalgic. It's as if she is First Lady again.
Even if the truth had slipped out, that al-Qaeda overran our defenses at the Benghazi consulate and then the terrorists outran our ability to catch them, the media would have been instructed to say, "Obama has Islamic militants on the run!"
I don't put much stock in second-guessing the decisions leading up to the Benghazi attacks. Our consulates and embassies are sitting ducks for these radical religious terrorists. What I continue to point out are the lies and cover-ups that ensued, aided by the media. And most troubling, to legitimize their lies the O-bots had 7 armed policemen ceremoniously arrest, on dubious charges and on national television, the hapless U.S. citizen who made that You Tube video. He still sits in prison today, held without bail, nine months later. That should send chills down your spine.
The media made a cartoon of George W. Bush by making fun of how he said "terror" or "nuclear." Yet when Obama tries to enunciate the true threats to our country in his speeches, his teleprompter auto-changes radical Islam to "NRA" or "Tea Party."
The two terrorist brothers in our midst who carried out the Boston bombings had accomplices in liberal government policies: lax immigration, welfare state largesse, college admissions/loans/indoctrination, and political correctness. These are all bastions of the left, which produces constituents for them. One would think the immigrant college kids named Tsarnaev, Kudyrbayev and Tazhayakov would have been caught trying to smuggle too many consonants into our country.
Further evidence of O-bots came to light this week when it was revealed that the IRS targeted another archenemy of the administration, Tea Party organizations. These grass roots "terrorists," as some Democrats call them, have this crackpot notion that we as a nation should adhere to our Constitution; for this they were systematically targeted for IRS audits. Rep. Boustany, R-La, who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee's oversight subcommittee, said this "reveals at least two unethical actions by the IRS. One: As early at 2010, they targeted groups for political purposes. Two: They willfully and knowingly lied to Congress for years…"
Around this time, the foundation that I started to advance freedom and the understanding of economics was audited. I spent time and money fighting the IRS about my giving away scholarships to send kids to Georgetown University to study limited government and free-market economics. This was money I gave to needy but worthy students from my modest state school alma mater to attend a supposedly prestigious university. The IRS hassled and audited me about how I gave away my money to a proper 501c organization. Interestingly, liberal Georgetown University recently ran us off campus. Colleges tolerate alternative lifestyles, but not alternative thinking.
And do you think the recent FBI raid on Republican Governor of Tennessee Bill Haslam's family business and the feds' probe of GOP mega-donor Sheldon Adelson are coincidences?
The common theme is that, in every situation that is potentially politically damaging, the Obama administration instructs, either directly or implicitly, its O-bots in government and the media to advance his narrative while he remains distant enough not to have his fingerprints on it. To survive in Illinois politics, where Rod Blagoevich was the 4th governor in recent history to go to prison, you have to know how to hide evidence.

Re: seQRet message
I love this! I grabbed the Droid and scanned - very clever/adorable. I MUST have this shirt (not just so that people will scan my bosoms with their phones, I actually own cats).
Josephus wrote:not meant to be. If the shirt looks like it's folded up at the bottom so that the design overlaps the edge, that's what we call an 'optical illusion'. The lighting of the wrinkly template just gives the illusion of a folded up edge. The design actually stops a couple of inches from the real bottom of the shirt. yeah, that's it. actually, you need to not be too close to the bottom or sides, but there is no requirement to be within that box you see on the woot shirt template. the design is actually 14"x19", well within woot's 16x20 requirement.
Ah, cool. Thanks for the explanation

John Mayer tickets are your chance to see this Grammy Award-winning artist up close and personal on John Mayer tour dates in support of his latest album Paradise Valley. Hear new material, as well as classics like "Waiting on the World to Change, with John Mayer tickets to a show in your area! Ever since news of his throat treatment surfaced, fans were nervous that they would never get to see John Mayer in concert again but he's back now and John Mayer concert tickets are finally within reach. Go for yours now!
John Mayer Concert Tickets |
Born the second of three sons in Bridgeport, Connecticut, Mayer grew up in the nearby town of Fairfield. Among Mayer's early blues influences was Stevie Ray Vaughan, which inspired him on to be the dedicated blues guitarist he is today. He began performing his first John Mayer concerts at local bars and quickly developed a reputation as a proficient master of the instrument.
Mayer moved to Boston and studied at the Berklee College of Music but left in order to focus on his music and record his debut EP "Inside Out", produced by David "DeLa" LaBruyere. After the release of the independent EP, Mayer and LaBruyere embarked on a John Mayer concert tour of the southern states selling out of John Mayer tickets throughout the country. An appearance at the South by Southwest Music Festival facilitated Mayer's true career launch, when he was signed by Aware Records. Aware functioned as a feeder for larger record companies, and soon Mayer was signed by Columbia Records selling cheap concert tickets throughout the country. His early material with Aware was re-released, including his previously internet-only album, Room for Squares. In 2003, Mayer won a Grammy for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Your Body Is a Wonderland." He also released a live CD and DVD of a John Mayer concert performed in Birmingham, Alabama entitled "Any Given Thursday." His next album, called Heavier Things, made number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, and the reviews were once again positive, if a little more reserved than those for Room for Squares making John Mayer tickets more and more popular. Other releases and awards followed, and by 2005 Mayer was playing with The John Mayer Trio, featuring Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino. The Trio opened for the Rolling Stones during one of their tours and in November 2005, they released a live album called "Try!" In 2006, the John Mayer Trio released "Continuum,"and the band continues to work on a variety of other projects, many of which have been nurtured for years and are simply a labor of love. John Mayer's album, "Battle Studies"was one of his best yet and featured a change in musical style for him. Buy John Mayer tickets today and watch some of the old, some of the new and everything that we love about Mr. John Mayer. One of Mayer's loves is to design sneakers, and he delights in planning the look and feel of a new type of shoe crafted from his very fertile imagination. We'll have to wait and see what this versatile and gifted young man produces next, music-wise, and possibly even sneaker-wise. Stay tuned to the John Mayer story; it hasn't ended yet, by a long shot. |

(CNN) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin questioned Sunday whether his country's supplying of arms to Syria's government was worse than putting weapons in the hands of rebels who have mutilated bodies, referencing a widely circulated video that purported to show a Syrian rebel commander eating what appeared to be the heart of a dead Syrian soldier.
Putin's comment signaled a clear disapproval of a U.S. plan to increase military support to Syrian rebels, and they came just one day before he was to meet with U.S. President Barack Obama for talks at the Group of Eight summit in Northern Ireland, where Syria's civil war is expected to top the agenda for the leaders.
"I believe you will not deny that one should hardly back those who kill their enemies and eat their organs. ... Do you want to support these people? Do you want to supply arms to these people?" Putin asked, speaking to reporters after meeting with British Prime Minister David Cameron.
He said those actions do not represent the "humanitarian and cultural values" of Europe or Russia.
"If we speak calmly, in a businesslike fashion, let me draw your attention to the fact that Russia supplies arms to the legitimate government of Syria in full compliance with the norms of international law," he said. "We are not breaching any rules and norms. Let me emphasize that, we are not breaching any rules and norms, and we call on all our partners to act in the same fashion."
Obama is expected during his meeting with Putin to make his case for increasing support to the rebels. Obama's administration announced the move last week after it said Syria crossed a "red line" with the use of chemical weapons, including sarin gas, against the opposition.
Obama has not detailed the increased military support, but Washington officials told CNN that the plan includes providing small arms, ammunition and possibly anti-tank weapons to the rebels.
Russia has been at odds with the United States, the UK and others over how to bring about an end to the bloodshed in the civil war that has raged in Syria for more than two years, a conflict that the United Nations estimates has left more than 92,000 people dead and millions displaced.
Russia and Syria have an alliance dating back to the Cold War, and Moscow has been one of the leading weapons suppliers for President Bashar al-Assad's government.
World leaders have put enormous pressure on al-Assad to end the war and step down, and U.N. Security Council efforts to take action have been repeatedly blocked by Russia and China.
Cameron, meanwhile, told reporters that Britain had not decided whether to provide weapons to rebels, but was providing technical assistance and training -- something it was doing alongside the United States, France and its other allies.
"I'm in no doubt that responsibility lies with President Assad. It is the onslaught that he is inflicted on his own people which is the primary cause of the suffering, the humanitarian catastrophe and the deaths we have seen," he said.
Cameron acknowledged that he and Putin have deep differences on the issue of Syria, but said they agree that it will take political and diplomatic efforts to help bring the carnage to an end.
Putin did not address Russian concerns that the United States may attempt to enforce a no-fly zone over Syria, using F-16 fighter jets and Patriot missiles based in Jordan.
On Saturday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warned the United States against taking such action, saying it would be a violation of international law, according to Russian state broadcaster Russia Today.
Russian television reported that Lavrov's comments followed speculation in the media that a no-fly zone could be imposed through the deployment of the missile systems and fighter jets sent by the United States to global military drills in Jordan.
Those reports followed news that the United States had approved a Jordanian request to keep the fighter jets and missiles in the country following the conclusion of a joint military exercise.
U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki has dismissed media accounts that Obama has decided on establishing a no-fly zone. Those reports are incorrect, she told reporters on Friday.
U.S. Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes also addressed the matter Friday when he was asked how difficult it would be to establish a no-fly zone.
"In Syria, when you have the situation where regime forces are intermingled with opposition forces, they're fighting in some instances block by block in cities. That's not a problem you can solve from the air," he said.

I had a bunn for a lot of years, and it was great, but it startyed leaking. It also could not be set to start automatically in the morning. With this new Cuisinart has a larger pot, a permanent filter, and automatic brewing. It looks good on my counter top, and easy to use. The coffee is very hot, and has adjustable time for automatic shut off. I will say that it is better to put a paper filter in the coffee basket when brewing. It keeps some of the coffee grounds out of your coffee. Over all I am very pleased with this coffee maker.
I am very happy with this coffeemaker. I had to replace my old Krups and chose this one. I can't believe how much better the coffee is! Really flavorful and perfect tempurature, even if I hit the alarm and get up 30 minutes after the coffee has been made. I had no idea how bad my old machine was! I am left handed and it's true the water goes in on the opposite side and is not very convenient me, however if you are left handed you are accustom to living in a right-handed world. I wish the lid detached easier but these are minor items. Getting a great cup of coffee time after time is enough for me. I recommend it.
My only criticism would be that the water level indicator indicator window is very hard to read but has little affect. Guess that is why it is also on the pot which is easier to see! Makes coffee FAST !! We love it.... much better than our usual $** cheapo... de ******, 73
Love the look of this coffee maker! Makes great coffee, too!
The Cuisinart DCC-2650 is a terrific product! It replaces a Cuisinart with a grinder function that served me pretty well for 9 years before it conked out and leaked water all over the counter. --Though the DCC-2650 does not have a built-in grinder, it's just as well, since the grind function left a messy, wet receptacle that took some time to get rid of the grounds and clean. (I prefer to dry-grind my coffee beans anyway.) Otherwise I just put pre-ground coffee beans into a cone-shaped filter that fits nicely over the cone-shaped basket--this cone alleviates the acidic taste that the typical round filters leave behind; pour water into the side receptacle (tank), which has a transparent window and a small pink ball that bounces up to indicate the water level; and push in the "Brew" bar. ...Within a few minutes the coffee is ready to pour--Delicious! This fine invention comes with a clock display and programming function; a carafe and heating plate, which can be set at Low (L), Medium (M), or High (H) to maintain the carafe at the desired temperature; Regular and Bold buttons to push for the flavor intensity of your choice; and a programming knob that allows an automatic 24-hours advance time setting, or an automatic shut-off selection of up to 4 hours after brewing. ...Again--it is a great product!
Not the first Cuisinart coffeemaker that I have owned but it is much faster to brew and makes a very good cup of coffee. Shipped from overstock very quick.
I purchased this coffee maker several months ago after reading a slew of reviews, good, bad and indifferent on this site and others. I'd had my eye on it for quite some time before I took the plunge and I Love It! I don't usually write reviews but after some of the things I read I thought it might be helpful. Like any new coffee maker you have to brew a few pots to determine what you like and this one is no different but honestly by the second pot we had it down. This coffee maker looks great, the timer is spot on and with the adjustable temp on the warming plate you can keep the coffee as hot as you like and can set the timer to stay on as long as you like. I don't use the filter that came with because I only use my ***** filtered water for coffee and cooking so I can't speak to that but I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this coffee maker.
