A new project hopes to tap into the force of volunteers to monitor reef health, reports TAN CHENG LI.
SOME 3,600sqkm of coral reefs fringe Malaysian coasts and islands. This makes up a mere 1.27% of the world's reefs but plays a major ecological role, providing nursery and breeding ground for marine animals. However, much of this underwater rainforest remain unchartered and unexplored.
Worse, we do not even know how these reefs are faring – are they still pristine or have they succumbed to the ill effects of coastal reclamation and development, unbridled island tourism, marine pollution and overfishing?
The Marine Parks Division has long ignored the task of scrutinising coral reefs, leaving the job to scientists and conservation bodies. Hence, surveys have been piecemeal and occasional, depending on interest, fund availability and intermittent scientific studies by universities.
Consequently, little is known about the health of our reefs. Yet, they face much pressure. In 2002, the report Reefs At Risk found 85% of Malaysian reefs to be under medium to high level of threats from mostly human activities.
A group of individuals hope to change all that and has set up Reef Check Malaysia to make reef monitoring an annual – and if possible, quarterly – exercise.
"So there is no baseline data for comparisons to see if the reef has degraded and no good information for making management decisions.
"With Reef Check Malaysia, we hope to get a co-ordinated thing going, so you get more people, more surveys and more useful information."
To do the job, the group hopes to exploit a vast store of labour out there – the sport diving fraternity. By using keen and available volunteers, more data can be gathered over a wider area than scientists are able to on their own. Involving the public in assessing reef health also encourages people to take responsibility for their local reefs.
Relying on volunteers to inspect reefs is the unique feature of Reef Check, an ocean conservation programme founded by a marine biologist in the United States in 1996. Reef Check employs a simple survey method designed for use by non-scientists. Divers basically record species which have been identified as indicators of a healthy reef, such as live corals, butterfly fish, groupers, sweetlips, humphead wrasses banded coral shrimps, giant clams, sea cucumbers, triton shells and lobsters.
The Reef Check method is used to monitor reefs in 70 countries, and the findings are compiled into a global coral reef status report.
Reef Check is not entirely new in Malaysia, however. Various individuals and the Malaysian Nature Society had employed the survey method in the past. In 2001, Reef Check appointed a co-ordinator for Malaysia, who has carried out a number of training and awareness activities. But a lack of funds and manpower prevented the programme from taking off like it has in Indonesia and the Philippines.
Hyde's group plans to train the staff of dive centres on the Reef Check survey method who will in turn instruct their divers. The first training is targeted for February. Hyde, a dive instructor who also runs a dive centre in Tioman, says many recreational divers have expressed interest in volunteering for reef checks as it is one way to contribute to marine conservation, apart from giving them new skills.
Surveys will initially cover the islands of Perhentian, Redang and Tioman, before extending elsewhere. Reef Check Malaysia will analyse the collected data and make it available to all. Currently, such findings, more often than not, stays with the researchers instead of being disseminated for lack of a sharing mechanism and single repository of information.
Hyde says the group will not be a profit-making entity. A grant of RM115,000 from the British Government has got it started but more funds and support are needed, particularly from corporations which are now involved in marine conservation efforts.

Malian military battles militants outside Gao
Sunday - 2/10/2013, 5:48am EST
Associated Press
GAO, Mali (AP) -- Malian soldiers are fighting jihadists in their desert hideouts just outside Gao, the country's defense minister said Saturday, a day after a suicide bomber blew himself up at a checkpoint on the city's outskirts.
Defense Minister Yamoussa Camara said that at least two militants were killed during the fighting that took place Friday several miles (kilometers) outside northern Mali's largest town.
"We call on the population of Gao to not give in to panic and above all to cooperate with defense and security forces to drive out the terrorists who are trying to infiltrate among civilians," Camara said by telephone from Bamako, the capital.
However, tensions remained high on Saturday, and a Malian military spokesman reported earlier in the day that two men had been arrested with explosives while trying to enter the city around 7 a.m.
Military spokesman Modibo Traore later said that the information it had received was false, and that the young men did not have any explosives on them.
While Friday's attack killed only the bomber, it has raised concerns about the future strategy of the militants, who initially appeared to put up little resistance to the French and Malian military advance.
The young man who blew himself up on Friday had been living at a house in Gao that was known as a jihadist hideout. A guard at the home said it had been visited three months ago by the one-eyed terror leader Moktar Belmoktar, who claimed responsibility for the attack in Algeria on the BP-operated natural gas plant in which more than 37 people died.
Other jihadist leaders from the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa -- known as MUJAO -- also had stayed in the luxurious two-story home with a verdant courtyard, which the militants took over when they captured Gao last year, the guard said.
Fears of suicide bombing attacks have been high since the discovery of industrial-strength explosives in Gao earlier this week.
The radical fighters seized control of northern Mali in April 2012 after a military coup in distant Bamako.
France intervened in its former colony on Jan. 11, after the Islamic militants began pushing south, raising alarm that they were inching closer toward the capital.
Residents said Friday that the French forces had retaken the far northern town of Tessalit along the border with Algeria.
France has said that it wants to hand over responsibility to the Malian military and other African nations that have contributed troops. It also has raised with the U.N. Security Council the possibility of establishing a U.N. peacekeeping operation in Mali.
Mali's military, though, has shown growing signs of strain. On Friday, soldiers from a unit allied with the leader of last year's military coup stormed the camp of the presidential guard. Two people were killed and 13 others were wounded, according to a statement from the Malian government.
Malian President Dioncounda Traore called the violence a major disappointment to the Malian people "at a time when the main concern of each and every Malian should be the operations we are in the middle of carrying out in the north."
The red beret-wearing former presidential guard, based at the Djicoroni camp in Bamako, was disarmed months ago by the green beret-wearing officers loyal to Capt. Amadou Haya Sanogo, the leader of the coup in March last year. Their camp has been attacked on several occasions by the green berets, who seized the presidential guards' weapons.
When the green berets arrived at the military camp Friday, they were confronted by women and children, and fired tear gas and volleys into the air, according to Batoma Dicko, a woman who lives in the camp. It includes housing for military families. The attackers succeeded in entering the camp, carried out a search and set fire to the infirmaries, she said.
The Red Berets were the elite presidential guard who protected former President Amadou Toumani Toure, who was toppled in the coup by junior officers.
Ahmed contributed to this report from Timbuktu, Mali.

Back up software advice please

Hello everyone, can you advise on good back up software please. Free ideally but does not have to be. I have been using Acronis, paid for program, but I find it does not suit me, requires a 64 digit password to start with which is ridiculous as I only need 4 digits to draw from a cash machine or 5 to access my bank accounts. It seems to make things more complicated than needed. I find it hard to use and work properly. Just want something simple. Used XX Clone in the past but it has limitations but it is easy. Any suggestions please.

Have a look here- Paragon backup 2012 though you'll need to read the help files, so I don't know if it will be easy for you having used Acronis.
Puzzled Acronis asks for a 64 digit password though? It could be how you set it up?

Thanks rdave13, Aronis requires a 64 digit code to set it up as you correctly say. I have entered this and have it working but do not not find it user friendly. Probably me as it has good write ups. I will try your link, thanks.

bumpkin, be careful with these backup programs. I think you would be wise to uninstall Acronis, fully, before trying Paragon. They do conflict. Please wait until someone who is proficient using Acronis can advise either how to use the software or/and how to uninstall it fully.

Thanks again, I am now running the paragon back up, was unaware of a conflict with acronis, still wants 10 hrs to finish so no response tonight from me. Only about 160 Gb cant see why this should take more than a nanosecond myself :-) Ray

You have something working the CPU hard. Possibly now a conflict between the two programs. Can you stop the Paragon back-up safely? Be careful again if it takes time to halt and roll back. Always have only ONE back-up software running on your system. The only trouble is that in Win 7, as it has it's own back-up feature, and if you activate it then it's part of the OS and difficult to stop.

I am puzzled where this 64 digit code is coming from to use Acronis TI. I have been using various versions for aver 15 years and never had to put in a 64 digit number to register the software after installing it on a PC. I don't use all it's bells and whistles, I just make regular backups on a monthly basis to an external hard drive. It is simplicity to use. My present copy Ver10 uses 25 digits plus 4 dashes and only is entered once to register the software.

Are you asked for 64 characters of pass phrase when configuring a backup job?
May be they are insisting high security for your data ;)
Anyway, running more than one backup application in a system will surely cause issues in your applications running in your system.
For example, if you are running SQL Server in your system and taking backup your system (either the full system clone or only the SQL Server data backup), it will affect the SQL Server backup of both the backup system. i.e., both the backup application's backup data cannot be restored in future (in case they are tacking differential/incremental backups). The reason is, SQL Server keeps the backup meta information, when backup is initiated by a backup application. In case, multiple applications try to take backup, it will mesh up this backup meta data info and none of the backup application will have the valid backup data.
Similarly, it will affect the VSS volume shadow copy service, when running multiple backup applications simultaneously/. So, consider this. -- Aravind http://storegrid.vembu.com

thanks to all for your advice, I uninstalled Acronis and used Paragon. So easy and free I think some manufactures deliberately complicate things so you think it is better.

Endurance athletes and adventure-sports enthusiasts have long appreciated Bend, a town of 80,000. An early transplant was Max King, who is world-class on the trails with strong credentials on the track and roads. Lauren Fleshman, now sponsored by Oiselle after leaving Nike in 2013, calls Bend home as well. Last December King directed the USATF club cross country championships there. Competitors experienced Bend's mild, semiarid climate, small-town feel and 3,623 feet of elevation with higher trails near by.
Three intriguing running groups have taken root in or near the Blue Ridge Mountains. The oldest is ZAP-Reebok, founded in 2001 in tiny Blowing Rock, N.C. Athletes train in a beautiful mountain location at 3,500 feet of elevation and receive room and board, a monthly stipend, coaching and gear. Ragged Mountain Racing, established in 2008, is located in Charlottesville, Va., where the mountains are 30 minutes away. Newest among the Blue Ridge trio, in its second year, is the Furman Elite team, based at Furman University in Greenville, S.C. In addition to coaching, athletes receive room and board, a travel stipend, gear and sponsorship assistance.
Home to the Boston Athletic Association since 1887 and the Boston Marathon since 1897, this city was the base of the world's dominant marathoning group in the 1970s and remains intensely supportive of the sport. New England weather is not optimal during winter, but Boston contains several of the nation's best indoor venues and frequent high-caliber meets, in addition to numerous trails and park spaces. Two elite training groups have recently become established, joining long-standing local subelite teams.
At an altitude of 6,035 feet, with easy access to much higher roads and trails, this city of nearly half a million offers metropolitan accouterments, along with endless running opportunities. The semiarid climate brings only 16.5 inches of annual precipitation and 300 days of sunshine, although sudden weather changes and extremes of heat and cold can occur. The American Distance Project was founded in Colorado Springs in 2006 and provides coaching by Scott Simmons and Renato Canova, plus other support to qualifying athletes.
Elite distance runners first gathered together in Mammoth in 2001, to train at 7,800 feet and higher with coaches Bob Larsen and Joe Vigil. The club, known as RunningUSA, featured Deena Kastor and Meb Keflezighi, Olympic medalists in the marathon at the 2004 Olympics. The team expanded in 2004 and became known as Mammoth Track Club. In 2012, a state-of-the-art outdoor track opened, and the club merged with the recreational High Sierra Striders. Today Deena and Andrew Kastor serve as president and head coach, respectively, of an ASICS-sponsored club that welcomes athletes of all abilities. Runners training in Mammoth enjoy a wide variety of trails and terrain in the scenic Inyo National Forest of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Minnesota's prolific distance-running tradition is a source of pride across the state and especially in the Twin Cities, home to Team USA Minnesota. Founded in 2001, the program has collected 21 national championships from 1500m to the marathon. "Minnesotans are very active people," says Meghan Peyton, the 2013 USA 20K champion. "Hundreds of miles of trails here are accessible year-round, and in the winter they're plowed before the roads because so many people use them."
Elite running in New York began in 1868, when the New York Athletic Club (NYAC) held the nation's first indoor track meet. Since then, NYAC members have won more than 200 Olympic medals, mostly in track and field. The 400-member Central Park Track Club-New Balance sent four athletes to the 2012 Olympics. For mid-packers, New York Road Runners holds weekly races in Central Park and the outer boroughs, Van Cortlandt Park is a hotspot for cross country, and the New York Armory track hosts fast action on winter weekends. Only 40 miles away, the NJ-NY Track Club, with 37 elite athletes, trains at the Rutgers University track in Piscataway, N.J.
With Nike headquarters seven miles west in Beaverton and the Nike Oregon Project training in Portland, the state's largest city rivals Eugene as Oregon's premier running hub. Established in 2001 with Alberto Salazar at the helm, the Oregon Project includes Mo Farah, Galen Rupp, Mary Cain and Jordan Hasay. Jerry Schumacher's Nike-sponsored group includes Shalane Flanagan, Ryan Hill and Evan Jager, among others. This runner-friendly city, with its 30-mile Wildwood Trail, boasts several active organizations, such as the Bowerman Athletic Club, which offers support to athletes of all abilities.
The addition of Nick Symmonds to the Brooks Beasts is the tip of the iceberg for Seattle's growing elite running scene. Under coach Danny Mackey, the Beasts now have a roster of more than a dozen Olympic-caliber athletes. Other groups in the city include Club Northwest and the Seattle Running Club. Most of Seattle's 650,000 residents live within King County, which has a 25,000-acre park system with abundant trails.
The forces that draw runners together in a single location are constantly shifting, moving talent around in their wake. Like ancient centers of civilization, a few running meccas have peaked and declined.
Gainesville, Fla., is such a place. It was there in 1965 that University of Florida coach Jimmy Carnes founded the Florida Track Club, which in a few years became a magnet for aspiring post-collegiate runners like Jack Bachelor, Jeff Galloway, Marty Liquori and Frank Shorter. FTC athletes didn't expect stipends or much else, just the camaraderie of the group training, coaching from Carnes, access to Gainesville's tracks and running routes, and opportunities to race together wearing the FTC singlet.
Bachelor, Galloway and Shorter all ran in the 1972 Munich Olympics. But two years later Shorter relocated to Boulder, several other members accepted shoe company sponsorships, and the FTC's elite status quickly declined.
Summertime heat notwithstanding, running is still popular in Gainesville. The FTC remains an active organization focused on recreational running and youth development. And while University of Florida track teams tend to be sprinter-heavy, current Gator senior Cory McGee represented the U.S. at the 2013 world championships in the 1500m.
Likewise, the Reebok Enclave, based in Washington, D.C., gave its hometown a prominent spot on the elite running map for much of the 1990s. Founded in 1991, the Enclave was devised by Frank Gagliano, then the coach at Georgetown, and initially focused on a small group of elites including Steve Holman, Rich Kenah and John Trautmann. Enclave athletes competed in world championships and the 1992 and 1996 Olympics, but when Reebok cut funding, the club disbanded.
Today D.C. lacks an elite team of the Enclave's status, but former member Juli Benson believes it could happen there again. "I really believe D.C. is a hidden gem," says Benson, now coach at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo. "The training venues–the Georgetown trails, Rock Creek Park, the tow path–are great. What makes a place ideal begins with coaches with passion and vision, and athletes who work well together."

- Excerpt from Judge Rules Against 340B Drug Authority:
A federal judge in the DC District Court ruled that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) does not have the authority to implement regulations related to provisions in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to expand the 340B drug discount program to rural and cancer hospitals. The regulation would have allowed certain health care facilities to access 340B discounts on orphan drugs for non-orphan indications. Safety Net Hospitals for Pharmaceutical Access released a statement expressing its disappointment in the ruling. This may have significant implications for the much anticipated 340B "mega-rule" that is currently under review at the White House and was expected as soon as this month. Most analysts believe that the ruling is limited to the orphan drug issue because the ACA did not direct HRSA to make exceptions for orphan drugs. However, if the court ruling is interpreted to be broader, then Congress would have to step in via legislation to reign in possible overuse of the program.

Playing it safe: Ravens QB Flacco to wear knee brace vs. Patriots
OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP)
Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco will wear a brace on his left knee Sunday against the New England Patriots, a precautionary move in the wake of the injury he sustained Monday night in Detroit.
NEED SOME? GET SOMEFeed your NFL addiction! Come feast on all the news in our updating blog.
Before Justin Tucker sent his 61-yard kick sailing toward the uprights in an 18-16 win, the Ravens collectively held their breath when Flacco's knee buckled upon being struck by the helmet of oncoming Lions lineman DeAndre Levy.
''I winced when I saw it on the board up there,'' coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday. ''I winced when I saw it on tape again this morning. It was a pretty tough hit.''
Flacco wore a brace during practice and acknowledged that his knee felt ''stiff.'' But he doesn't expect it to be a hindrance Sunday, when the Ravens (8-6) seek their fifth straight victory.
He will use the brace to prevent any further damage.
''I don't know if it will be a necessity or not, but I'm going to wear it,'' he said. ''There's no reason not to.''
Flacco has never missed a start in his six-year NFL career. His streak is at 107 games, and that's the first thing that ran through his mind after he toppled over on his side following the hit by Levy.
''You're like, `Shoot, I better not be able to not be able to play,''' he recalled. ''Hey listen, at some point it may happen that I can't go out there to start a football game. But I'd prefer that I hold that off a while.''
Looking for the latest news from around the NFL? Our Insiders got you covered.
After he hit the turf in Detroit, Flacco had no idea how serious the injury was. He wanted to stay on the ground and ease himself back up to his feet, but teammate Ray Rice was there - like it or not - to offer assistance.
Sort of.
''Rice came over and wanted me to get up but he didn't really help me,'' Flacco said. ''I wasn't really ready to get up yet because I didn't want to get up and test it out and have myself collapse to the ground and look like an idiot. It's always scary when you get your knee (hit). I've never really had a severe knee injury or anything so you don't know what is what. If you feel something you definitely get a little scared.''
After he climbed to his feet, Flacco knew he would be OK.
''Once I got up and put a little pressure on it, I was able to run off the field and all that,'' he said. ''You've got to feel pretty good about that. My mind was at ease as soon as I got up, so that wasn't really an issue.''
As the Ravens medical staff treated Flacco on the bench, backup Tyrod Taylor started throwing passes on the sideline in case he had to go in. Flacco, however, would have none of it.
When it came time for Baltimore to return to the field, Flacco was there with the offense. And he drove the Ravens far enough to get Tucker in position for the game-winning kick.
It was Flacco's 19th career game-winning drive in the fourth quarter. Given that the Ravens have played nine games this season decided by three points or fewer, he just might be called upon for an encore against the Patriots (10-4) on Sunday.
Although he survived the hit to the knee - which came after he passed the ball - Flacco wondered why a penalty wasn't called.
''Yeah, I was (ticked) we didn't get 15 yards,'' he said. ''It could've helped us.''
Harbaugh said the team has submitted the tape to the league office for review.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Me247 Loud Neighbors The overall stay was fine - just for a night to attend a friend's wedding. The bathroom had a funky musky smell so tried to avoid as much as possible. At 2AM very loud drunk people arguing in the hallway (not the hotel's fault). September 6, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Matteo925 Great place for Disneyland trip Perfect, easy to access location to Disneyland. Though please note if you walk it takes about 15-20 minutes to actually reach the front of the parks, but I believe they may offer shuttles. Or you can walk across the street to the normal Disney parking and catch one of those buses. Rooms are clean and roomy, great beds and pillows as per the norm at Sheraton, but not the newest facility overall. I've stayed here 3 times and haven't have a bad experience. September 5, 2012

Rated 4 out of 5 by mouseketeers Great proximity to Disneyland We had a great stay. The walk seems short in the morning and long in the afternoon. September 4, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Meisterbrau Enjoyed my stay Very nice, clean room. I was on business and had no time to take advantage of the amenities, but everything looked very nice. The wi-fi worked well, and I always had a good wireless connection. The HD flat screen TV was also very nice. September 3, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by deerisle Great hotel for family, event, or Disney but not solo business traveler My family joined me in Southern California for a week while I was on a business trip, and this property was perfect for our needs. The rooms have been renovated with new beds, etc. The bathrooms are small as are the rooms, so the renovations could only go so far. There are very few suites, and the staff reported that they are almost never available for Platinum upgrades. What made the hotel a great experience for my family was the staff. Everyone from the front desk personnel to the club lounge to the room cleaning staff was very friendly. Most of our interaction came from the club lounge. The staff constantly went out of their way to see if they could help. Breakfasts were adequate in terms of food-- the pastries and bagels were really marginal, but we could find something decent. The coffee was good as was the fruit. In my opinion, this is not a hotel for a solo business traveler. I think that I would have been frustrated if my family was not visiting Disney while I was working. The club lounge was quite about 6am, but it was filled with tons of kids by 7am at least. It was never quite again until 9pm at night. This commotion was part of what I liked because my kids were there, but solo business people may not find it cute. The free drinks from 5-7pm were also awesome, but the food quality was not great for club lounges that I've experienced. In short, when I come back to Southern California for business, I'll likely stay someone else if I'm by myself and stay here if my family can come as well. September 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Miriam Wonderful stay This hotel has a great location walking distance to parks. Room small but comfortable. Enjoyed lounge, good staff and plenty of food and drink. Microwave would be helpful for own food. Minor problems (1) very slow computer in lounge and (2) took three sets of keys to get ones that worked on lounge door. September 3, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Joopi408 Great hotel for Disneyland bound families! Let's start with the positives; 1. Great location-Walk to Disneyland with a coffee from Cafe downstairs 2. Nice Balcony-Great to sit outside and watch the fireworks 3. Spacious Rooms-Good for families with kids 4. Great food and good prices and pool area has a resort feel to it. Negatives; 1. Room was not available till 5pm! 2. Never once recongized as SPG member 3. No free shuttle to Disneyland like some other local hotels. September 1, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Boodle perfect The Hotel has wonderful service, from the front desk, the bell boys, housekeeping and the parking chaps where all so polite and efficient. Our room was very clean and had plenty of hot water. Good restaurants in walking distance. I would give you an A. September 1, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mick23 Nice hotel to stay Very nice place to stay we bought the access to the club floor which was good. Watching the fireworks and world of color going of at the place next door was amazing. August 31, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Darcie9294 Great Stay1 The staff knew that it was my first time staying at the hotel, so they gave me a room on the 10th floor with a balcony that allowed me a view of the fireworks at Disneyland. August 31, 2012

Rated 2 out of 5 by lostlibra Staff needs some customer service training I did not have a good stay at this hotel. My room service did not arrive at the scheduled time and then when food did finally arrive, it was not the correct order. I then was not able to get my meal entirely refunded. The staff did not seem apologetic at all. I had other service issues, as well. A big dissapointment as an SPG member. August 30, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by JoJo11 Hotel very nice and comfortable My stay was very nice. The rooms were comfortable and the food that was catered was very good and the grounds are very nice. August 29, 2012

Rated 3 out of 5 by MLA12 Upgraded room with no AC Paid for an upgraded room (park view). AC did not work in the room. Even the fan/blower wouldn't engage. Informed front desk upon checkout since we did not get into the room until late and were too tired to mess with it that evening. They were nice enough and apologized but did not commit to do anything about it. August 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by TerriB86 Sheraton was great on everything!! Rooms were very comfortable and the staff was excellent! We loved being on the Club Floor. Only problem we had at all was issues with the WiFi and their support through AT&T was excellent. August 19, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by SC11 Nice hotel, clean, comfortable Experience was overall excellent. Good location, safe, clean. Front desk could have been a bit more friendly. Only complaint is, after spending late nights at Disneyland we wanted to sleep in and felt rushed by Housekeeping who left a message on our voicemail at 10am everyday to see if we wanted our room cleaned. That was annoying considering we were on vacation and trying to relax. Also, we would have liked Molly's Kitchen to serve breakfast all day rather than just in the morning. Despite that, would probably stay here in the future. August 19, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Rei4 I love being able to bring our pets on vacation. Sheraton hotel has always been a great place to stay while on vacation. Especially since I can bring the whole family, our 11 year old dachshund. The rooms are clean and comfortable. Which is why we keep coming back to this hotel. However on or last stay when we arrived in our room there was some left over garbage from the previous roomers. Not a lot but enough to feel as though the cleaning staff was in an incredible hurry. Aware of the fact that the hotel was booked for the remainder of the week I didn't call to complain or ask for another room. We were on vacation and wanted to start it. Aside from that we had a wonderful week. August 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Forbusinessandpleasure Great hotel poor Club Lounge If visiting Disneyland this is a very nice hotel. A short 10 min walk takes you right to the entrance of Disneyland. This is a family friendly hotel; and with all of the families staying at the hotel, the rooms are still very quite. No Club Floor room upgrade, or suite upgrade for platinum. They did provide access to the club lounge, which had a very kid friendly, helpful staff. However the breakfast, was the worst Club Lounge breakfast I have had at any Sheraton. It ranked right up there with a motel continental breakfast. August 14, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Friarman11 Hotel was great Hotel was clean and close to Disneyland August 14, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Maureen89 Close to Disney, but still quite a walk! The hotel is tagged as a short walk to Disneyland and while this seems true in the morning, it feels like a much longer walk after walking for 12+ hours in the park. There is a bus that will pick you up, but there is a charge of $4 per person and a taxi is $5 total if you don't feel like walking. Facilities were nice and the staff was very accomodating. August 14, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cosmo55 Great location and pool area We made last minute plans to go to Disneyland and were lucky enough to get a room at ther Sheraton. Great location and the pool area was wonderful. August 13, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anya Total relaxation All we wanted was to "get away & relax". The pool was excellent for exactly that. Beautiful pool area, with food and drinks by the pool. Quiet atmosphere, even with small kids there. We walked to Disneyland in the evenings for dinner. I only wish there were a way to separate rooms for families w/ small children. Otherwise, we loved our stay. August 13, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by BusTrav Hotel Near Disneyland The hotel is good for doing business in Orange County and visiting Disney Parks. The Club level is worth it; although Oatmeal (even instant) would be an improvement to the breakfast. The rooms are clean; however the bathroom was quite small. The pool and fitness center are very good. August 5, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Scottedina Great Location Near Disney The location was great, many restaurants and stores near by plus the Disney Parks are close. No upgrade but the rooms were nice and clean. Nice outdoor pool area. August 3, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jackie1956 Jackie1956 Excellent service from the staff! Two thumbs up from Dylan at the SPG desk, and all employees working the Club room at breakfast and cocktail hour! Although the hotel is dated, it is kept clean. My kids loved the pool and we loved the view of the Disneyland fireworks, and the 15 minute walk to the parks! This was our second vacation here, and we will be back. August 2, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Navysteve71 Great hotel for Disney visit We stayed here for a 3 day Disney trip. The hotel is about 3 blocks from the park entrance, but we opted for the shuttle service (adults $10/3 days, kids $2). We ate breakfast sandwiches in the lobby's sandwich shop each day, which also doubles as a small convenience store. We stocked up on small snacks and sandwiches to bring into Disney. The heated pool (and jacuzzi) offered a relaxing break after a long day of amusement park fun. Poolside bar serves appetizers and beer/wine/soda and has a TV. My IPAD was also able to pick up free WiFi service from the lobby while poolside. Hotel staff was friendly and courteous at every opportunity. Will definitely stay at this hotel again! August 1, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by malk Simple but very nice. I thought the hotel was very nice. I could see the fireworks from Disneyland outside my window every night, so that was kind of cool. The bed was very comfortable. There are laundry facilities, which were a little crowded on a Saturday night but nice. The restaurant is not superb but there is a snack shop where you can get hot prepared snacks. It's a little expensive for my taste (from the Northeast) but okay. Overall it was a very positive experience. The pool was nice -- lots of kids so be prepared for that. My only complaint was that they couldn't give me a room near the front of the hotel and I had to walk. I have a bad knee so that was a bit of a problem. Being at the hotel, whether sitting by the pool or just in your room was pleasant. Most of the staff was good too although there was some room for improvement at the front desk and bell stand. August 1, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Unhappy99999999 Swimming Pool Chaos As usual pool is no diving etc, but with 8-10 young boys diving and monopolizing the pool to the extent that my grand-daughters (and many others) could not use the pool, I asked staff in the lounge area by the pool to get somebody to settle them down. They said they would, but wonder of wonders they NEVER DID!!! This is unacceptable. July 31, 2012

Playing on Grass Courts

Playing on good, well manicured grass courts is a lot of fun--I like it, a lot. Playing on bad grass courts is a challenge. I played on those same grass courts in your video for a tournament a few years back and they played well as they had been prepared for tournament play. In your video the grass looks pretty long (great for your lawn, not so good to play tennis on). I remember visiting some students of mine in Vancouver, Canada. They had arranged for us to play on a private grass court and when we arrived the owner was exhausted because he had spent the entire morning mowing, rolling, and lining the court getting it ready for us to play. But he did it well. Grass courts take a lot of maintenance, which is why they so rare these days. Again, grass court tennis on a well prepared court is really fun and a good test of your racquet skills. I've had some of my best, and worst, experiences on the various grass courts I've played on--but more good than bad by far. I would tell anyone to never pass up the chance to play on grass, for no other reason than to get you out of your comfort zone--but you never know how long they'll be around. And BTW, you can bounce the ball on a well prepared grass court.

"There were multiple color options for customization, it featured a unique design and the invitations were delivered quickly."
"Very pleased with the quality and speed of delivery of our superheroes invitation. Colours look good, it's excellent quality paper and straightforward ordering process, no hitches. No hesitation in using TinyPrints again and would recommend to friends."
"my son chose this design for his fifth birthday. its perfect! bright, fun and a bit mysterious like space should be. the back of the card has a place for a photo and a personal message for his friends to read. the invitations came so speedy, no stress waiting for them. we were excited to send them out because they are so cool."
"We loved these matching gifts tags. They included everything that we needed, they incorporated theme, name and age and they were adhesive! That was so key for us as we special ordered boxed cookies as favors so these allowed us to add a sticker to each box and we were done - they looked wonderful! The adhesive saved me the trouble of having to wrap already packaged boxes in clear bags and using ribbon to add the tag - they were perfect. Excellent complement to the invitation!"
"-I liked the ease of personalizing the card. -It was very unique and perfect for a 16 year old young man. It was difficult finding invitations for that specific purpose. Most are for "sweet 16" but that doesn't apply to boys. I know they don't like big parties but even for a small event you need invitations. -The little "eye" for the camera could be a little bigger. The paper and especially the envelope were good quality. -I heard a couple of comments about how neat it is."

Concluding exhortation and traditions about the last days of Moses
Chapters 29–31 comprise the third and last address of Moses to the people of Israel. They are preceded by an introductory verse referring to "these words" as a covenant made in Moab, in addition to the one made at Horeb (Sinai). After reminding them of all that God has done for them, Moses calls on the whole people to enter into the sworn Covenant made this day that they may be his people and he may be their God, warning the secret apostate of the calamities that will befall him. Yet the possibility of a return to God and the land is held out to those who will suffer exile and persecution as punishment for their apostasy, again presumably a reflection of the exilic situation (chapter 30 verses 1–10 seems clearly to be an interpolation inspired by the actual experience of exile). This law, it is emphasized, is no recondite, remote thing up in the sky but is, rather, very close to men, "in your mouth and in your heart"; what is revealed is made plain, it is not the secret things of God. Moses sets before them the classic Deuteronomic choice: "life and good" over "death and evil." The people are given that choice and told the consequences of loving the Lord and keeping the Covenant or of going the other way.
The final chapters are concerned with the last words and acts of Moses: directing Joshua to lead Israel after his death, writing down "this law," calling for a sabbatical renewal ceremony of it on the Feast of Booths, ordering that it be put beside the ark of the Covenant, and uttering two poems. The first, "The Song of Moses" (chapter 32), praises the faithfulness and power of the Lord, decries the faithlessness and wickedness of Israel, and predicts the consequent divine punishment; it adds, however, that in the end the Lord will relent and will vindicate his people. The second poem, "The Blessing of Moses" (chapter 33), blesses each of the tribes of Israel, one by one, and the blessings are associated with God's love, the law commanded by Moses, and the kingship of God over his people. There are indications in both poems of a considerably later date (after Joshua's time, perhaps in the period of the Judges); Moses is spoken of in the third person in "The Blessing" poem.
The narrative of Deuteronomy, and thus of the Pentateuch, ends with Moses' ascent to the top of Mt. Pisgah, his being shown the Promised Land by God, and his death there in the land of Moab, buried by God in an unknown grave. It is emphasized in the closing words that Moses was a unique prophet "whom the Lord knew face to face" and through whom the Lord wrought unique "signs and wonders" and "great and terrible deeds." Thus end the Five Books of Moses.
The Neviʾim (Prophets)
The canon of the Prophets
The Hebrew canon of the section of the Old Testament known as the Nevi'im, or the Prophets, is divided into two sections: the Former Prophets and the Latter Prophets. The Former Prophets contains four historical books—Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings. The Latter Prophets includes four prophetic works—the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and the Twelve (Minor) Prophets. The Twelve Prophets, formerly written on a single scroll, includes the books of Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. Thus, in the Hebrew canon of the Prophets there are, in effect, eight books.
The Christian canon of the Prophets does not include the Former Prophets section in its division of the Prophets; instead, it calls the books in this section Historical Books. In addition to Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel, the Christian canon of the Prophets includes two works from the division of the Hebrew canon known as the Ketuvim (the Writings): the Lamentations of Jeremiah and the Book of Daniel. The Twelve (Minor) Prophets are separated into individual books. The number of works in the Christian canon, however, varies. The Protestant canon contains all the books of the Latter Prophets and the two books from the Ketuvim, thus listing 17 works among the prophetic writings. The Roman Catholic canon accepts one other book as a canonical prophetic work, namely, Baruch (including the Letter of Jeremiah); the number of prophetic writings in the Roman Catholic canon is, therefore, 18. The Greek Orthodox Synod of Jerusalem in 1672 did not accept Baruch as canonical.
As far as the Former Prophets is concerned, the Protestant canon, following the Septuagint, separates Samuel and Kings into two sections each: I and II Samuel, and I and II Kings. The Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches in the past divided these two works into I, II, III, and IV Kings, but most Roman Catholic translations now follow the listing as it is in the Septuagint.

About the Owner
Guestbook comments from the owner
We spent 2 1/2 months in SC coldest winter in decades at Rick's cottage. We loved the gas fireplace and Rick was right there with warm bedding and clothes for our dad to go fishing. For as cold as it was the fishing was great! We loved the area and are looking forward to returning next winter. We have never had such attention at a rental place. Each day Rick checked in on us and asked if we needed anything. Our springer was right at home in the large yard and loved Rick as well. Great guy and great place! You'll love it!
We did!

Excellent get away!
Enjoyed the stay
We would definetly visit again. However, the futons are not in very good shape and no one could really sleep on them so we wont be able to come with the extended family. (I have 2 sons also) Also, the ramp into the water is breaking up and hard on the feet.
Overall , I thik this is a great place for a vacation.

Thousands of Visitors Expected at Ratchaphruek Festival 2009
CHIANG MAI, Thailand, Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ — More than 200,000 visitors are expected to attend a grand festival designed to celebrate and honour His Majesty the King, now the world's longest reigning monarch, who will be celebrating his 82nd birthday on 5 December, 2009.
The opening ceremony will be held on 1 December, but the entire festival will run from 30 November – 10 December, 2009, at the Ratchaphruek 2006 Garden in the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai. His Majesty the King ascended the throne in June 1946 and was coronated in May 1950.
Organised by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, and Chiang Mai Provincial Administration, the festival is expected to attract thousands of Thais, expatriate residents of Thailand, and international visitors to the northern region of Thailand.
Mrs. Juthaporn Rerngronasa, TAT Deputy Governor for Marketing Communications, said "TAT is very proud to host such a magnificent event for our beloved King. The event is designed to honour His Majesty the King and to publicise and promote tourism to Northern Thailand, especially the 'Ratchaphruek 2006′ Garden. It fits in perfectly with our plans to diversify our range of destinations, spread visitors around the country, and raise the incomes of rural people."
The festival will help boost domestic tourism, raise hotel occupancies in Chiang Mai, and give extensive exposure to North Thailand, projected to be a bridgehead for Thailand's future economic development plans and linkages with the Greater Mekong Subregion.
The official opening ceremony will be on 1 December, 2009, with welcoming parades from all four regions of Thailand. Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva will deliver the opening address and then join the people in floating the 999 Kom Loi (Sky Lantern). This will be followed by Thai classical dances from the four regions (99 people from each region).
The number nine is considered lucky for the Thai people. A slight variation of its pronunciation also means "progress" or "advancement" in Thai.
The grandest part of the festival will be held on His Majesty's birthday on 5 December, with the lighting of thousands of candles, offering of prayers and blessings for his continued good health, and singing of congratulatory songs, followed by a magnificent display of fireworks and a light and sound show.
Throughout the festival, visitors will be able to enjoy a wonderful horticultural exhibition of flowers, trees and fruits, and sales and competitions of agri-products, handicrafts and village-made souvenirs. Orchid lovers will find this festival a particular delight.
The Ratchaphruek Garden was originally built for the Royal Flora Ratchaphruek 2006, an international horticultural expo held in the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai as part of the celebrations commemorating the 60th Anniversary of His Majesty the King's Ascension to the Throne. Roughly 2.5 million plants and flowers, including some rare species of orchids, were on display at the expo and received over two million visitors.
Chiang Mai is the economic, communications, cultural, and tourism centre of Northern Thailand. In recent years, it has undergone considerable economic development but still retains its historic heritage. It is also becoming increasingly well-known as a centre of traditional Thai massage, meditation, spas, health, and wellness.
Today, Chiang Mai is served by Thai Airways International, Bangkok Airways, Nok Air, Thai AirAsia, Silk Air, Lao Airlines, China Airlines, and Korean Air.
At the same time, the Asian Highway network now taking shape throughout Southeast Asia will, in the not too distant future, link Singapore with Kunming, via both Bangkok and Chiang Mai.
The city is also winning international magazine awards for its charm and lifestyle. The Ratchaphruek Garden continues to be a major tourist spot.
In addition, a number of the "Royal Initiative Discovery" projects, which highlight the sufficiency economic concept of His Majesty the King, are located in North Thailand, and well worth checking out.
The list of performing programmes on 1-10 December, 2009, at the main stage Tuesday, 1 December, 2009 1800-2200 hrs: Opening ceremony and cultural show from 4 regions Wednesday, 2 December, 2009 1800-2200 hrs: Showing of drum and music playing from 4 regions Thursday, 3 December, 2009 1800-2200 hrs: Folk shows from 4 regions Friday, 4 December, 2009 1800-2200 hrs: Jazz music (H.M. the King's songs) Saturday, 5 December, 2009 1800-2200 hrs: Lighting the candle to celebrate H.M. the King and 999 fireworks and Thai folk music Sunday, 6 December, 2009 1800-2200 hrs: Thai folk music (from the north and northeast region) and the champion from the Ching Cha Sawan TV programme.

Robinho insists AC Milan's attacking stars can all play in the same team.
The Brazil international was speaking at his official unveiling following his move from Manchester City at the end of the transfer window.
"Milan put forward the only concrete proposal," he revealed. "The other clubs only made inquiries. But my desire was to play at Milan.
"They are a great club with a great tradition as well as Brazilian players. I am happy that it all went through."
When asked about Allegri's plans for him, Robinho said: "We can play with one, two, three or four strikers.
"You need to run, sure, but you also need to run to score goals. There is Pato and Ronaldinho. Everyone can give their contribution."

Nick Vivid's recording studio is designed for the needs of NYC's rock, punk, and indie rock markets. Analog recording and vintage sounds at a great price.
Yamaha RM2408 console
This is the heart of the recording studio – a modded 1984 Yamaha rm2408 with Neve 1073-style EQ's, customized during months of exhaustive testing. It is custom loaded with ADC 100D output transformers on the stereo buss and Carnhill (NEVE) transformers on the individual channels. Coupled with the Helios Type 69 and API VP26 preamps, this nyc recording studio has every classic element going for it!
Teac 80-8. Half inch 8 track deck. Instant 70's tape compression/saturation for your basic tracks.
Revox a77 mk3. 1/4″ 2 track mixing deck. Modded to the same specs that made this machine a mainstay at Abbey Road Studios in London.
Mastering is done digitally with a M-Audio Profire 2626 with a Black Lion Audio Microclock mk2, and a choice selection of great plugins designed to make the mixes standout.
Ensoniq DP4 Effects Unit. Provides 2 sets of stereo effects / delays / reverbs.
Wards Airline Vintage Spring / Plate-style Reverb
Multiple VST plugin effects available
Final mix/master is run through an classic ADC 100D Transformers and an SSL G Series 4000 compressor for that "glued like an album master" sound
The sound of the recording studio mic preamps is modeled after the legendary Helios Type 69 consoles. The Helios Type 69 was used to record Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, T.Rex, Queen, The Who, ELO. This sound is responsible for a ton of classic albums in the 1960s and 1970s. I use the Helios Type 69 for most of the tracking in the studio. For other purposes I also use the API VP26 with Gar2520 opamps.
2 ADK-TC Condenser Mics modded with GK251 Capsules and EH 6072a tubes
(Telefunken ElaM 251 Clones)
Studio projects C4 stereo condensers
2 Sennheiser 421's
Shure Unidyne sm57 (original)
Shure sm57
Shure ksm27
Beyerdynamic m201
Shure beta52
Shure sm7
Yorkville YSM1's (originals) / Adcom 535 Power Amp
Flat but rocking. For people who know nyc recording studios, picture an NS-10 with bottom end. They're better than NS-10's in my opinion.
M-Audio Profire 2626 (modded with 5532 opamps) w/Black Lion Microclock mk2. Nothing digital sounding about this digital rig.
Vintage 70's Ludwig "Power Factory" 4 pc Kit (maple w/black finish and bonham modded 6ply toms – 14×12 and 16×14)
Tama 14″ Ludwig Supra clone / Tama 13″ "60's sound" snare
2 custom Orange Avatar 2×12's loaded with Celestion G30H's / Celestion Greenbacks / Jensen c12n speakers
1984 Marshall JCM 800
1982 Fender Concert modded by Lee Jackson
GK Backline 4×10
Ampeg B50R Bass Amp
Newcomb H-25 Vintage / Sounds like Fender Tweed!
live room (tiled and baffled options)
control room – mixing in a comfy rock and roll environment
Pre-production included in all recording studio packages (includes discussion of material, listening to mp3s, attending rehearsals, instrument choices, approach to recording etc). For making demos, I'm recommending these 3 free recording software programs.
Tracking at Nick's recording studio is rated on a per-song basis. Mixing and mastering is an additional $15 per hour (see below for details). All projects/sessions require a 50% non-refundable deposit (based on the tracking/per-song rate) at the time of booking.
1- 2 songs: $240 per song
3-5 songs: $200 per song
6-9 songs: $180 per song
10 or more songs: $170 per song
Mixing/Mastering: An additional $15 per hour on top of the per-song charge. Standard edits and mixing setups are still included in the per song package. Major changes such as tempo shifts, re-dos, re-recording or re-mixing previously approved material will be part of the $15/hour charges. Estimate for most projects is 2 hours or less per song to mix and less than 5 hours for mastering.
For mixing and mastering projects that were not recorded here, please inquire for a quote.
Blank Tape is purchased locally from tapes.com. I use RMGI/Emtec sm911 formula tape. Sm911 is the only formula made today for that classic "rock and roll" sound. I make no money on tape. Rates for recording to tape are as follows:
Tracking Tape – For recording basic tracks (drums/bass/some guitars) – 1/2″ sm911 tape 2500′. $65 per reel. Each reel will handle roughly 3-5 songs. (20-25 minutes of music)
Mixing Tape – For the final mixes – 1/4″ sm911 tape 2500′. As of August 2013, the price of tape has risen. The mixing 1/4″ tape is now $34 per reel. Each reel will handle around 3-5 songs (20-25 minutes of music total). If it's a 1-2 song session, a reel of 1200′ tape should suffice, which costs $22.00
At this time, the most effective distribution is pure digital. No overhead. Low cost/fees. I can help with making sure artwork is to spec and files are properly setup for online retailers. I can sometimes do a good service getting distribution set up for you. In many instances, bands I work with like using Tunecore. Check them out. As of this time, physical distribution is very limited availability.
If you wish to press your own product and/or create promo materials or other physical goods, I recommend Pirates Press. Great customer service and product. I can help get all of your artwork and materials delivered to pirates press in the manner in which they need them to do an effective job.
Kickstarter.com has been VERY successful in the past for many bands I know.
Please contact Nick by email at email@example.com to discuss your project.

I'm really digging the color combination here. I think all 3 suit the cocktail dress. A trendy dress like this takes the cocktail dress concept to the next level. A little futuristic looking if you ask me! Two thumbs up!

1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:Interesting plot + some bromance Yay!Honestly I was expecting a feel good anime once the cute friendship began with these characters... but that expectation was crumbled quickly. The show turned into an addictive adventure with character development and a good plot. Yes there were hints of yaoi but being a fan of it I didn't really have a problem with it. I really did enjoy the plot and most characters in it. Just bring some tissues ...Read more
0 out of 1 people found this review helpful:No. 6 lover dearest Shion NezumiCan i just say that No. 6 is the best thing I have ever seen/read and that this was possibly one of the most heart-wrenching things I have ever seen in my entire life? , i cannot forget about it
0 out of 3 people found this review helpful:Great Anime, although the manga was better...When I started reading the manga, I instently fell in love with it and the realtionship between the two (Shion and Nezumi). I loved how in Volume 1 Nezumi cuddled with Shion... Thats what
hooked me in... then I thought.. I should watch the anime! which disappointed me because all they did was hold hands, not cuddle....
6 out of 6 people found this review helpful:No.6, a mesmerizing short animeI am still giving this anime 5 stars, even though it isn't perfect.Read more
But with characters and visuals so captivating, I will overlook any shortcomings!
Despite what you may have read, this is primarily a sci-fi action anime.
It's a dystopian futuristic society, the usual Brave New World / 1984, "Big Brother is watching you" story. An ideal society by appearances, but which molds its inhabitants ...
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful:Excellent--though left much to be desired.I'm currently reading the manga and told myself I wouldn't watch the anime but I couldn't resist and I'm glad that I didn't. The anime was fantastic and somewhat follows what I've read in the manga so far. My only complaint about this series would be the ending. I and I know many others felt it was a bit rushed seeing as they crammed so much info (and lack there of) in only 11 episodes when it ...Read more
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful:Personally did not enjoy that much, but stuck with it.I honestly think this series was great, but it could of just had a little more, let`s say......oomph! I was not a fan of the man service because... Well I'm a dude? But, Regardless, It tells the story of Sion and Rat as they learn together the true meaning of what actually goes on deep within the city that is known as "No.6". I have no real qualms about the series as a whole other than in just not ...Read more
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful:WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN!seriously!!! i hate starting all these amazing animes and then finding out that they are done and no more episodes are being made!!! No. 6 had me hooked from the start!!! and i cried like a girl several times! i really really wish they made more episodes or even more of the manga which i fully intend to buy!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:Amazing, and wish for more!This is an amazing story with a great plot and characters. It is an unique plot and interesting sifi setting. Although i wished for more and didn't love the questions i had at the end, i still thoroughly enjoyed watching this. It is a touch shonen-ai, but that could also just be seen as a strong friendship. I highly recommend this anime.
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful:Beautifully Woven Short SeriesI don't give 5 stars often so you know this story is a good one. I've watched it so many times...and each feels like the first. I'm not going to lie, there are some shonen ai (yaoi, boyxboy, g@y however you want to call it) but its woven into the story so beautifully that even the most homophobic would still enjoy the story line. Also the depth of characters and story make you really question how ...Read more
1 out of 2 people found this review helpful:Had higher hopes, A bit Yaoi..First things first, if you can't tolerate some yaoi in your anime, then you might consider passing on this one. The story progressed rather nicely and built to what I thought was a sort of poor ending. The show took a Gasaraki twist in the end and went all supernatural/spiritual. Animation was good and the voice acting also well done, kudos. Characters had depth and were developed well over the ...Read more

Leader and lout?
Such a paradox is a difficult pill to swallow in a culture whose dominant fantasy peddlers toil endlessly to keep us believing in the dichotomy of good guys and bad guys, and carry on an allegiance to the myth that the good guys always win.
It's kind of like the way we believe in good marriages and bad marriages, good parents and bad parents. I used to believe in those, before I became a wife and a mother. Now, I'm not as clear. I'm more inclined to believe in good days and bad days, and leave it at that.
Not that I think there are no guidelines. Hitting, for example, is a no-brainer: don't do it. It's easy to condemn an action, especially out of context. Harder to judge the human being who engages in that action in real life. Take war. I'm against it. Until I think about Hitler and the Holocaust, and the men who fought in World War II to stop it (yes, I endured the torture of Saving Private Ryan). And suddenly, I'm not so sure.
I bring this all up because I face a complicated dilemma: just as I find myself feasting on questions, my children are starved for answers. Sophie, especially, at the concrete age of eight and a half, wants me to spell it all out once and for all. "Mama," she asks, "you're a Democrat, right?"
"Yes, you could say I'm a Democrat."
"Me, too." She pauses. "Are you a Christian?"
Well, let's see, we've been attending a Christian church a couple of blocks from our house, and we like it a lot. The kids have been happily flourishing in its Sunday School program. Yet, am I a Christian?
"I wouldn't say I'm not a Christian," I venture, in what I know is an unsatisfying answer. "Maybe I'm more of a Unitarian--you know I like the teachings of Buddha, too, and surely Gandhi must have been a saint. But I am a follower of Christ," I say.
She thinks on this, and I resist the urge to go on. I know I have left her empty handed. "Well," she finally says, "I'm a Christian--and a Royalist."
"A Royalist?" I ask. "When did you become a Royalist?"
"Are you a Royalist?" she wants to know.
"No, I am not. Of that one, I'm sure," I say, happy to give a straight answer. But sad that it's not the one she was hoping for.
"Well, Kit is a Royalist," Sophie offers, more hesitant now.
"Kit? Oh, Kit, from your book," I say. Sophie is reading some historical fiction about the very early years in the American Colonies. Of course she identifies with the heroine's political sensibilities. I explain that the book she is reading is set well in advance of the Revolutionary War, and that perhaps if I had lived at that time, I would have been a Royalist, too.
"Really?" she asks. "You think you might have?"
"Maybe. I mean, revolutions are scary--you know how I feel about war. I bet Kit didn't want to see people hurt."
"I bet she didn't."
Let Sophie have her heroine. Let her have her answers, while they last.

Professor Anderson's model engineIn the winter of 1763-64, Watt was asked by Professor Anderson of Glasgow College to repair this model Newcomen engine. The model performed badly, and Watt had to draw upon all his skills and knowledge to puzzle out why. Working on the model was the starting point for Watt's entire career working on engines and everything that came after. This model will be loaned from the Hunterian Museum for the first 3 months of the exhibition, after which it will be replaced by a specially-commissioned replica. The last time the original was displayed in London was in 1876, so this is really a once in a lifetime opportunity to see the actual thing at the Science Museum.
