Rx drug information, pharmaceutical research, clinical trials, news, and more
Because of the variability of the potential of INDOCIN to cause adverse reactions in the individual patient, the following are strongly recommended:
Gastrointestinal Effects:
Single or multiple ulcerations, including perforation and hemorrhage of the esophagus, stomach, duodenum or small and large intestine, have been reported to occur with INDOCIN. Fatalities have been reported in some instances. Rarely, intestinal ulceration has been associated with stenosis and obstruction.
Gastrointestinal bleeding without obvious ulcer formation and perforation of pre-existing sigmoid lesions (diverticulum, carcinoma, etc.) have occurred. Increased abdominal pain in ulcerative colitis patients or the development of ulcerative colitis and regional ileitis have been reported to occur rarely.
Because of the occurrence, and at times severity, of gastrointestinal reactions to INDOCIN, the prescribing physician must be continuously alert for any sign or symptom signaling a possible gastrointestinal reaction. The risks of continuing therapy with INDOCIN in the face of such symptoms must be weighed against the possible benefits to the individual patient.
INDOCIN should not be given to patients with active gastrointestinal lesions or with a history of recurrent gastrointestinal lesions except under circumstances which warrant the very high risk and where patients can be monitored very closely.
The gastrointestinal effects may be reduced by giving Capsules INDOCIN immediately after meals, with food, or with antacids.
Risk of GI Ulcerations, Bleeding and Perforation with NSAID Therapy
Serious gastrointestinal toxicity such as bleeding, ulceration, and perforation, can occur at any time, with or without warning symptoms, in patients treated chronically with NSAID therapy. Although minor upper gastrointestinal problems, such as dyspepsia, are common, usually developing early in therapy, physicians should remain alert for ulceration and bleeding in patients treated chronically with NSAIDs even in the absence of previous GI tract symptoms. In patients observed in clinical trials of several months to two years duration, symptomatic upper GI ulcers, gross bleeding or perforation appear to occur in approximately 1% of patients treated for 3-6 months, and in about 2-4% of patients treated for one year. Physicians should inform patients about the signs and/or symptoms of serious GI toxicity and what steps to take if they occur.
Studies to date have not identified any subset of patients not at risk of developing peptic ulceration and bleeding. Except for a prior history of serious GI events and other risk factors known to be associated with peptic ulcer disease, such as alcoholism, smoking, etc., no risk factors (e.g., age, sex) have been associated with increased risk. Elderly or debilitated patients seem to tolerate ulceration or bleeding less well than other individuals and most spontaneous reports of fatal GI events are in this population. Studies to date are inconclusive concerning the relative risk of various NSAIDs in causing such reactions. High doses of any NSAID probably carry a greater risk of these reactions, although controlled clinical trials showing this do not exist in most cases. In considering the use of relatively large doses (within the recommended dosage range), sufficient benefit should be anticipated to offset the potential increased risk of GI toxicity.
Renal Effects:
As with other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, long term administration of indomethacin to animals has resulted in renal papillary necrosis and other abnormal renal pathology. In humans, there have been reports of acute interstitial nephritis with hematuria, proteinuria, and occasionally nephrotic syndrome.
A second form of renal toxicity has been seen in patients with prerenal and renal conditions leading to a reduction in renal blood flow or blood volume, where the renal prostaglandins have a supportive role in the maintenance of renal perfusion. In these patients administration of an NSAID may cause a dose dependent reduction in prostaglandin formation and may precipitate overt renal decompensation. Patients at greatest risk of this reaction are those with conditions such as renal or hepatic dysfunction, diabetes mellitus, advanced age, extracellular volume depletion from any cause, congestive heart failure, septicemia, pyelonephritis, or concomitant use of any nephrotoxic drug. INDOCIN or other NSAIDs should be given with caution and renal function should be monitored in any patient who may have reduced renal reserve. Discontinuation of NSAID therapy is typically followed by recovery to the pretreatment state.
Increases in serum potassium concentration, including hyperkalemia, have been reported, even in some patients without renal impairment. In patients with normal renal function, these effects have been attributed to a hyporeninemic-hypoaldosteronism state (see PRECAUTIONS, Drug Interactions).
Since INDOCIN is eliminated primarily by the kidneys, patients with significantly impaired renal function should be closely monitored; a lower daily dosage should be anticipated to avoid excessive drug accumulation.
Ocular Effects:
Corneal deposits and retinal disturbances, including those of the macula, have been observed in some patients who had received prolonged therapy with INDOCIN. The prescribing physician should be alert to the possible association between the changes noted and INDOCIN. It is advisable to discontinue therapy if such changes are observed. Blurred vision may be a significant symptom and warrants a thorough ophthalmological examination. Since these changes may be asymptomatic, ophthalmologic examination at periodic intervals is desirable in patients where therapy is prolonged.
Central Nervous System Effects:
INDOCIN may aggravate depression or other psychiatric disturbances, epilepsy, and parkinsonism, and should be used with considerable caution in patients with these conditions. If severe CNS adverse reactions develop, INDOCIN should be discontinued.
INDOCIN may cause drowsiness; therefore, patients should be cautioned about engaging in activities requiring mental alertness and motor coordination, such as driving a car. INDOCIN may also cause headache. Headache which persists despite dosage reduction requires cessation of therapy with INDOCIN.
Use in Pregnancy and the Neonatal Period
INDOCIN is not recommended for use in pregnant women, since safety for use has not been established. The known effects of indomethacin and other drugs of this class on the human fetus during the third trimester of pregnancy include: constriction of the ductus arteriosus prenatally, tricuspid incompetence, and pulmonary hypertension; non-closure of the ductus arteriosus postnatally which may be resistant to medical management; myocardial degenerative changes, platelet dysfunction with resultant bleeding, intracranial bleeding, renal dysfunction or failure, renal injury/dysgenesis which may result in prolonged or permanent renal failure, oligohydramnios, gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation, and increased risk of necrotizing enterocolitis.
Teratogenic studies were conducted in mice and rats at dosages of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 mg/kg/day. Except for retarded fetal ossification at 4 mg/kg/day considered secondary to the decreased average fetal weights, no increase in fetal malformations was observed as compared with control groups. Other studies in mice reported in the literature using higher doses (5 to 15 mg/kg/day) have described maternal toxicity and death, increased fetal resorptions, and fetal malformations. Comparable studies in rodents using high doses of aspirin have shown similar maternal and fetal effects.
As with other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents which inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, indomethacin has been found to delay parturition in rats.
In rats and mice, 4.0 mg/kg/day given during the last three days of gestation caused a decrease in maternal weight gain and some maternal and fetal deaths. An increased incidence of neuronal necrosis in the diencephalon in the live-born fetuses was observed. At 2.0 mg/kg/day, no increase in neuronal necrosis was observed as compared to the control groups. Administration of 0.5 or 4.0 mg/kg/day during the first three days of life did not cause an increase in neuronal necrosis at either dose level.
Use in Nursing Mothers
INDOCIN is excreted in the milk of lactating mothers. INDOCIN is not recommended for use in nursing mothers.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, including INDOCIN, may mask the usual signs and symptoms of infection. Therefore, the physician must be continually on the alert for this and should use the drug with extra care in the presence of existing infection.
Fluid retention and peripheral edema have been observed in some patients taking INDOCIN. Therefore, as with other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, INDOCIN should be used with caution in patients with cardiac dysfunction, hypertension, or other conditions predisposing to fluid retention.
In a study of patients with severe heart failure and hyponatremia, INDOCIN was associated with significant deterioration of circulatory hemodynamics, presumably due to inhibition of prostaglandin dependent compensatory mechanisms.
INDOCIN, like other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, can inhibit platelet aggregation. This effect is of shorter duration than that seen with aspirin and usually disappears within 24 hours after discontinuation of INDOCIN. INDOCIN has been shown to prolong bleeding time (but within the normal range) in normal subjects. Because this effect may be exaggerated in patients with underlying hemostatic defects, INDOCIN should be used with caution in persons with coagulation defects.
As with other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, borderline elevations of one or more liver tests may occur in up to 15% of patients. These abnormalities may progress, may remain essentially unchanged, or may be transient with continued therapy. The SGPT (ALT) test is probably the most sensitive indicator of liver dysfunction. Meaningful (3 times the upper limit of normal) elevations of SGPT or SGOT (AST) occurred in controlled clinical trials in less than 1% of patients. A patient with symptoms and/or signs suggesting liver dysfunction, or in whom an abnormal liver test has occurred, should be evaluated for evidence of the development of more severe hepatic reaction while on therapy with INDOCIN. Severe hepatic reactions, including jaundice and cases of fatal hepatitis, have been reported with INDOCIN as with other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Although such reactions are rare, if abnormal liver tests persist or worsen, if clinical signs and symptoms consistent with liver disease develop, or if
systemic manifestations occur (e.g., eosinophilia, rash, etc.), INDOCIN should be discontinued.
Information for Patients
INDOCIN, like other drugs of its class, is not free of side effects. The side effects of these drugs can cause discomfort and, rarely, there are more serious side effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding, which may result in hospitalization and even fatal outcomes.
NSAIDs (Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs) are often essential agents in the management of arthritis; but they also may be commonly employed for conditions which are less serious.
Physicians may wish to discuss with their patients the potential risks (see WARNINGS, PRECAUTIONS
and ADVERSE REACTIONS) and likely benefits of NSAID treatment, particularly when the drugs are used for less serious conditions where treatment without NSAIDs may represent an acceptable alternative to both the patient and physician.
Laboratory Tests
Because serious GI tract ulceration and bleeding can occur without warning symptoms, physicians should follow chronically treated patients for the signs and symptoms of ulceration and bleeding and should inform them of the importance of this follow-up (see WARNINGS, Risk of GI Ulcerations, Bleeding and Perforation with NSAID Therapy).
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
In an 81-week chronic oral toxicity study in the rat at doses up to 1 mg/kg/day, indomethacin had no tumorigenic effect.
Indomethacin produced no neoplastic or hyperplastic changes related to treatment in carcinogenic studies in the rat (dosing period 73-110 weeks) and the mouse (dosing period 62-88 weeks) at doses up to 1.5 mg/kg/day.
Indomethacin did not have any mutagenic effect in in vitro bacterial tests (Ames test and E. coli with or without metabolic activation) and a series of in vivo tests including the host-mediated assay, sex-linked recessive lethals in Drosophila, and the micronucleus test in mice.
Indomethacin at dosage levels up to 0.5 mg/kg/day had no effect on fertility in mice in a two generation reproduction study or a two litter reproduction study in rats.
Drug Interactions
In normal volunteers receiving indomethacin, the administration of diflunisal decreased the renal clearance and significantly increased the plasma levels of indomethacin. In some patients, combined use of INDOCIN and diflunisal has been associated with fatal gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Therefore, diflunisal and INDOCIN should not be used concomitantly.
In a study in normal volunteers, it was found that chronic concurrent administration of 3.6 g of aspirin per day decreases indomethacin blood levels approximately 20%.
The concomitant use of INDOCIN with other NSAIDs is not recommended due to the increased possibility of gastrointestinal toxicity, with little or no increase in efficacy.
Clinical studies have shown that INDOCIN does not influence the hypoprothrombinemia produced by anticoagulants. However, when any additional drug, including INDOCIN, is added to the treatment of patients on anticoagulant therapy, the patients should be observed for alterations of the prothrombin time.
When INDOCIN is given to patients receiving probenecid, the plasma levels of indomethacin are likely to be increased. Therefore, a lower total daily dosage of INDOCIN may produce a satisfactory therapeutic effect. When increases in the dose of INDOCIN are made, they should be made carefully and in small increments.
Caution should be used if INDOCIN is administered simultaneously with methotrexate. INDOCIN has been reported to decrease the tubular secretion of methotrexate and to potentiate its toxicity.
Administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs concomitantly with cyclosporine has been associated with an increase in cyclosporine-induced toxicity, possibly due to decreased synthesis of renal prostacyclin. NSAIDs should be used with caution in patients taking cyclosporine, and renal function should be monitored.
Capsules INDOCIN 50 mg t.i.d. produced a clinically relevant elevation of plasma lithium and reduction in renal lithium clearance in psychiatric patients and normal subjects with steady state plasma lithium concentrations. This effect has been attributed to inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. As a consequence, when INDOCIN and lithium are given concomitantly, the patient should be carefully observed for signs of lithium toxicity. (Read circulars for lithium preparations before use of such concomitant therapy.) In addition, the frequency of monitoring serum lithium concentration should be increased at the outset of such combination drug treatment.
INDOCIN given concomitantly with digoxin has been reported to increase the serum concentration and prolong the half-life of digoxin. Therefore, when INDOCIN and digoxin are used concomitantly, serum digoxin levels should be closely monitored.
In some patients, the administration of INDOCIN can reduce the diuretic, natriuretic, and, antihypertensive effects of loop, potassium-sparing, and thiazide diuretics. Therefore, when INDOCIN and diuretics are used concomitantly, the patient should be observed closely to determine if the desired effect of the diuretic is obtained.
INDOCIN reduces basal plasma renin activity (PRA), as well as those elevations of PRA induced by furosemide administration, or salt or volume depletion. These facts should be considered when evaluating plasma renin activity in hypertensive patients.
It has been reported that the addition of triamterene to a maintenance schedule of INDOCIN resulted in reversible acute renal failure in two of four healthy volunteers. INDOCIN and triamterene should not be administered together.
INDOCIN and potassium-sparing diuretics each may be associated with increased serum potassium levels. The potential effects of INDOCIN and potassium-sparing diuretics on potassium kinetics and renal function should be considered when these agents are administered concurrently.
Most of the above effects concerning diuretics have been attributed, at least in part, to mechanisms involving inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis by INDOCIN.
Blunting of the antihypertensive effect of beta-adrenoceptor blocking agents by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs including INDOCIN has been reported. Therefore, when using these blocking agents to treat hypertension, patients should be observed carefully in order to confirm that the desired therapeutic effect has been obtained. INDOCIN can reduce the antihypertensive effects of captopril and losartan.
False-negative results in the dexamethasone suppression test (DST) in patients being treated with INDOCIN have been reported. Thus, results of the DST should be interpreted with caution in these patients.
Pediatric Use
Effectiveness in pediatric patients 14 years of age and younger has not been established (see WARNINGS).
Geriatric Use
As with any NSAID, caution should be exercised in treating the elderly (65 years and older) since advancing age appears to increase the possibility of adverse reactions (see WARNINGS, General ; and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION). Elderly patients seem to tolerate ulceration or bleeding less well than other individuals and many spontaneous reports of fatal GI events are in this population (see WARNINGS, Risk of GI Ulcerations, Bleeding and Perforation with NSAID Therapy).
Indomethacin may cause confusion or, rarely, psychosis (see ADVERSE REACTIONS); physicians should remain alert to the possibility of such adverse effects in the elderly.
This drug is known to be substantially excreted by the kidney and the risk of toxic reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. Because elderly patients are more likely to have decreased renal function, care should be taken in dose selection and it may be useful to monitor renal function (see WARNINGS, Renal Effects).

I still remember a conversation I had with a lifeguard on a beach in São Conrado.
Having gotten over the formalities and my reasons for coming to Brazil he asked me where I was staying. When I told him that I was living in Rocinha, he looked at me shell-shocked and said, " You do know there are HOTELS right?"
Yes, I did know there were hotels; very nice hotels in fact as many of the neighboring suburbs are very well off.
Standing on my balcony in Rocinha I could see the short tunnel that separated the very rich from the very poor. But it was my choice to stay in Rocinha.
I had chosen to mix traveling and volunteering and it's a decision that I'm glad I made. For me the decision was simple, not only would I be helping those less fortunate but I was also able to combine it with my love of traveling.
Right about now you may be wondering what Rocinha is.

Oh! Now I know the cruelty of man
Who leads and kills by his own bad hand,
And enjoys himself in such a game.
Friend, truly his life is very lame.
As I speak, I am just a month old,
But ma wants to leave me in the cold.
Many a concoction has she drunk
To have me killed as if I were wrong.
Despite my age in my mother's womb
I know that I am quite in a tomb,
And quite well acquainted with man's sin
More than an adult knows hardly seen.
How I weep as I have been deformed!
How I wish that the world be informed
Of my mum's sin and lascivity,
And her many thoughts calamity!
Now I weep, and weep for my young life,
If I will be strong to stand and strive
As another concoction flows in,
Bringing with it a shower of man's sin.

Getting Good Exposures: 10 Dos and Don'ts
Posted By Jeff Wignall On September 30, 2008 @ 8:21 am In Art of Photography | 3 Comments
Getting consistently good exposures with a digital camera is not as easy as manufacturers would have you believe. While the metering systems in today's cameras are extremely accurate in a wide variety of situations, it still takes some practice and experience to get good exposures every time. And as most experienced photographers know, there are some subjects — like high contrast scenes or backlit portraits — that are particularly tough.
Below are 10 tips that will increase your percentage of good exposures. But remember, a "good" exposure isn't just one where the lights are darks are exposed correctly; often the best exposures are intentionally skewed in one direction or another in order to get images that reflect your interpretation of that scene.
With that thought in mind, here are 10 things you can do to get better exposures with virtually any digital camera:
1. DO read your camera's manual. It's the only book that was written expressly for the camera that you own.
2. DO take lots of pictures. Photography is a learn-by-doing process and if you're shooting digitally (which, of course you are!) there's no film to buy.
3. DO feel free to leave a new camera in the "Program" mode while you're getting used to it. Better to shoot pictures right away than to avoid the camera because of all the options. Experiment with "scene" specific modes, too, like the landscape or portrait modes, to see how they improve your images. The landscape mode, for example, automatically chooses the best exposure setting, but gives preference to selecting a small aperture that in turn creates more depth of field (near-to-far sharpness).
4. DON'T be afraid to experiment with camera controls. Again, just read the manual and have fun. Short of dropping it on concrete, you can't hurt the camera. Virtually all cameras have a reset menu choice that will return all camera settings back to the factory specs. If not, just pop out the battery for a second and you're back to ground zero.
5. DO print your pictures frequently. That way, you can see your mistakes and successes more clearly. There's nothing like seeing a nice 8 x 10 of a great shot to boost your confidence.
6. DON'T shoot all of your photos at high noon. Get up early and stay out late; daylight changes constantly and often in dramatic ways. The color of daylight is constantly changing and shooting at different times of day will provide nice variety.
7. DO avoid overly contrasty situations. You'll have a higher rate of successes if you wait for the light and contrast to soften up a bit. Try working in the first two hours after sunrise and before sunset–photographers refer to these times as the golden hours. Contrast fools even the best meters (and photographers) and the more you avoid it, the more good photos you'll get.
8. DO look at the work of other photographers. Study how greats like Ansel Adams handled difficult situations. Remember: What you see and what your camera sees are often two different things. Learn to see the world as your camera sees it and your success rate will soar.
9. DO use a tripod as often as you can. A tripod is the single most useful photo accessory you will ever own. Don't own one? Buy one.
10. DON'T be afraid to experiment with extreme exposures. Try long shutter speeds, very fast shutter speeds, etc. Push the creative envelope!

I found that's what great about the digital age...you can keep taking snapshots unitl you get the right exposure...I pretty much just shoot in manual these days...

Interesting.. I get the impression that the majority of digital snappers truly believe that "Auto" can give them consistently good pictures, when in reality I'd say that one really does need to learn the art of photography as well. Once the basic principles have been learnt then of course the sky's the limit..

Embedded Resistors
Embedded Resistors
Resistors can be embedded in PCBs either by employing carbon screen printing or through the use of special material layers that are etched, embedded and connected inside a multilayer pcb as per description further down.
Resistors in PCB´s formed using special high resistance material:
Ohmega-Ply is one of these materials
Ohmega-Ply basic tolerances depend on pcb production equipment and process control with typical tolerance values around +/- 10%. But when resistance layers are produced with larger than required resistances followed by computerized laser trimming equipment tolerances better than 1% regardless of the material used can be achieved at low costs.

Thai Airways International is not booking a loss against three Airbus A340-500s, which were retired from its fleet in June, as there is little difference between the book and appraisal values on the aircraft.
"When comparing the net book value with the appraisal value of such aircraft, the difference is insignificant so the company did not recognise the impairment loss of such A340-500 aircraft," Thai indicates in an earnings statement. The three aircraft were manufactured in 2005. A fourth A340-500, built in 2006, is still in service, according to Flightglobal's Ascend online database.
In the first quarter of this year, Thai booked a 181.14 million baht ($5.75 million) impairment loss on two A300-600s it phased out in March.
The two A300s were decommissioned last October when the flood reached Bangkok Don Muang airport. Thai recognized the insurance compensation from the flood disaster of 342.68 million baht, which is equal to the net book value of the damaged assets.

November could well be rechristened 'Bro-vember' on the evidence of last month's Global Ads Chart. With guns, explosions, cars, gangsters, supermodels and even Chuck Norris all featuring in an action-packed top 20, November's most shared commercials at times felt like one big, hairy, testosterone-filled bromance.
But if you thought this month of brotherly love was all about guys with guns, think again.
There are also ads in the top 20 featuring gay marriage, some screaming male Justin Bieber fans and even crying dads.
However, taking the number one spot during 'Bro-vember' was an action-packed ad for possibly the most highly-anticipated game of 2011, Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
Created by Activision's new ad agency 72andSunny, The Vet and n00b racked up an incredible 965,134 shares across Facebook, Twitter and the blogosphere last month.
And it's not hard to see why. It features Hollywood A-listers Sam Worthington (Avatar, Terminator Salvation, Clash Of The Titans) and Jonah Hill (SuperBad, 40-Year-Old Virgin, Moneyball) as they try to bring the popular first-person-shooter to life as the titular characters.
The point? To show that despite the fact COD is one of the most successful game franchises in history, newcomers can easily join in the fun.
Certainly, it seems to have done the trick. Judging by the number of shares so far (for the in-game trailer too), publisher Activision will once again be breaking records this Christmas.
But the action does not step there. In fourth spot is a trailer for another highly-anticipated game, Grand Theft Auto 5.
The latest instalment in the ground-breaking, car-stealing, gangster-hurting crime-em 'up may not be due out until next summer, but fans are already licking their lips at the tasty morsels offered up by the first trailer.
Details about the new game remain few and far between; however, the appearance of the Vinewood sign in the clip suggests the latest edition will ditch the gloomy smog of Liberty City (New York) for sun-drenched San Andreas (LA).
In fact, the lack of information has only added fuel to the fire, with the trailer attracting over 255,000 shares during November. In fact, some bloggers have even come up with reasons why it is the best game ever made! Not bad for a game that will not be released for another seven months.
Also manning up during November was a hilarious ad for computer game World of Warcraft. It stars one-man meme machine Chuck Norris, who seemingly not content being the hardest person on our planet has now stretched his dominion over the geeky landscape of World of Warcraft too.
The commercial even features a computer avatar of the Missing In Action star in action, plus the memorable line: "There are 10 million people in the World of Warcraft, because Chuck Norris allows them to live".
The ad, created by agency BBDO, attracted 302,456 shares during November, making it the seventh most shared ad last month.
Action-packed ads from GoPro, Red Bull, Carlsberg and DC Shoes, plus a Fiat commercial starring the stunning Romanian model Catrinel Menghia, complete November's male-bonding session.
However, a very different kind of brotherly love features in a new ad for a non-profit organisation from Down Under.
'It's Time', created by the Motion Picture Company for GetUp!: Action For Australia, focuses on the trials and tribulations of a couple's relationship, but what makes the video particularly clever is the twist at the end.
The two-minute film is seen from the point-of-view of someone who meets a man on board a ship. The clip then follows the journey of their relationship up until the point one of them proposes. However, it is only revealed right at the end, when they are getting married, that the other person is actually another man, with the slogan: "It's time. End marriage discrimination".
It's a fantastic ad, attracting an incredible 901,107 shares last month – making it the second most shared ad during November. Pretty impressive for a video that was only released on November 24.
There is also a nice twist to Macy's Black Friday ad. It stars teenage heartthrob Justin Bieber and a bunch of ecstatic, screaming fans. But this is not a bunch of fawning young girls putting their hands to the head and squealing at the mere sight of the boy wonder, it's actually some burly, middle-aged men.
The commercial, released on November 16 and created by JWT New York, attracted well over 500,000 shares last month, putting it third in November's table.
Two places below it is a touching UK Christmas ad that really has had grown men reaching for the Kleenex to wipe their tears away, thanks to yet another late twist.
It is for retailer John Lewis and stars a little boy anxiously counting the nano-seconds down to December 25.
However, at the end of the 90-second ad, which includes a cover version of The Smiths' seminal hit Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get Want I Want, it is revealed that it was not his own presents he was so anxious about, but the gift he desperately wanted to give to his gob-smacked parents.
The ad proved a little bit too mawkish for some tastes, but that did not stop it from racking up 333,141 shares since it was launched on November 11.
Completing November's line-up is a brilliant spoof ad from Canadian ad agency John St called Catvertising, which pokes fun at the internet's obsession with cats. Purrfect!

Protecting the babies
Babies entering this crazy world for the first time shouldn't have to do so burdened with the imperfections and addictions of their mothers. It's tough enough to make it in the world without the added handicap of health problems caused by a mother who failed to put her child first.
Tennessee, among many states, is dealing with an alarming rise in the number of babies born addicted to drugs. A task force of state health officials is trying to reverse that disturbing trend.
Babies born addicted suffer from neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), often spending many days in the hospital as they go through the painful withdrawal process, experiencing seizures, tremors, fever and vomiting, the Associated Press reports. The Tennessee Health Department reports that the number of babies with neonatal abstinence syndrome increased tenfold between 2000 and 2010. In the last two years alone, more than a thousand babies have been born dependent on addictive drugs.
To combat the problem, the Health Department will begin requiring hospitals to report babies born with the syndrome beginning on Jan. 1. That's an important step. It won't prevent addictions, but it should get treatment to affected infants quicker and allow doctors to identify such cases faster.
State officials have asked the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to place a black box warning on prescription painkillers that alerts physicians to the harm they can cause a fetus.
The hospital costs of an addicted baby receiving TennCare benefits averaged nearly $41,000 two years ago. That compares to hospital costs of about $7,000 for a baby born in 2010 who received TennCare benefits and was not addicted to drugs.
"Babies suffering from NAS often face a multitude of challenges during the first few weeks of life," state Health Commissioner John Dreyzehner said. "I've talked with many clinicians across Tennessee who have become used to seeing wounds and illnesses, but even the most seasoned health care workers have a difficult time watching a helpless infant going through the painful process of withdrawal."
Mothers who get pregnant owe it to themselves and, above all, their babies to be healthy and stop doing things that adversely affect the well-being of their unborn children. If they won't, then it's up to the authorities to step in and do all they can to assist these newborns.

One of the most difficult things about being a successful musician is finding the inspiration to be creative. Some people accomplish this by relentlessly poking the still burning embers of charred relationships (*cough* Taylor Swift *cough*), others turn to illegal drugs to change their worldview, but the following artists were able to find their muses not with their bandmates, but rather by pairing off with other musicians that appear on the surface to be incongrous with their vibe. So, in salute of the deeply strange pairing of Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong and ivory tickler Norah Jones on the new album of Everly Brothers covers called Foreverly, here's a rundown of unlikely musical collaborations from over the years and their results.
Last Lap: Why Won't Brad Paisley Apologize For Being An "Accidental Racist"?
Is Fleetwood Mac finally dropping new music this week? Is Avril Lavigne sporting a new mature look for her latest music video? And why isn't Taylor Swift stressing out about her love life? All this in today's Last Lap.

Katy Perry Schedules More Facetime With Barack Obama
Beyoncé, Kelly Clarkson and James Taylor are already booked to perform at President Obama's upcoming inauguration ceremony but because there's likely no limit to how many diverse musical offerings Barack and Michelle blast behind closed doors, even more talent has been acquired for Inauguration Weekend 2013. According to the AP, Katy Perry, Alicia Keys, Brad Paisley, Smokey Robinson and Usher have been added to the inaugural ball on Monday, January 21 as well as a children's concert on the 19th.
Hosted by Michelle Obama and Jill Biden (there to make sure Leslie Knope doesn't make a move on her husband) Saturday's children's event will take place at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center and will also feature performances from the likes of Far*East Movement, fun., John Legend, Marc Anthony, Mindless Behavior and members of the Glee cast. Despite the wide cross-section of musical talent, all eyes will be on Katy to see what political piece of clothing she could possibly wiggle herself into this time.
Last Lap: Lil Wayne Trading The Recording Booth For The Skate Board
"I feel like the fans deserve a little No Wayne. I've been everywhere, man. I've been out on everybody's song, I'm still on everybody's song," says Wristguard Weezy. "I believe the fans deserve some peace from me, so I'll be on my skateboard in the meantime." [MTV] Read more…
iHeartRadio Music Festival Gets A Lineup
In a season busied with festivals, iHeartRadio has proven itself in just two years to be a formidable force when it comes to bringing in the big acts. The Clear Channel festival debuted last year with a lineup chocked full of marquee names like Jay-Z, Carrie Underwood, Lady Gaga, and Nicki Minaj. And by the looks of the lineup released this morning, this year's show will be as big a blowout as the last.
Set for September 21 and 22 at the MGM in Las Vegas, this year's line-up includes blockbuster pop stars P!nk, Lil Wayne, Rihanna, Adam Lambert, and Pitbull; shining country stars Taylor Swift, Jason Aldean, and Brad Paisley; R&B crooners Usher and Mary J. Blige; as well as old favorites who are steady on the comeback like Green Day, Aerosmith, and No Doubt. And as if that were not enough, more acts will be announced in the weeks prior to the event. Tickets for the festival go on sale July 14th, and more info can be found here.

Taylor Swift Wins Entertainer Of The Year At The 2011 Country Music Awards, But Grace Potter And Kenny Chesney Steal The Show
The 2011 Country Music Awards aired on ABC last night, and Nashville's finest dusted off their boots and gussied themselves up for the national TV spotlight. For the second year in a row, Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley (whose new record, This Is Country Music, is pretty great) proved themselves to be a surprisingly deft and wholly likeable hosting combo, particularly when they're roasting Kim Kardashian over the spit in song form. There was no "big winner" of the night, per se, but The Band Perry took home a couple of awards (Best New Artist, Best Song for Song Of The Summer contender "If I Die Young") and Taylor Swift took home the evening's biggest prize, Entertainer of the Year.
However, the evening's best moment didn't involve pandering to Hollywood (Blake Shelton's raucous version of "Footloose") or even a huge, pyro-laden production number (sorry, Miranda Lambert!). It occured when Kenny Chesney and VH1 fave Grace Potter each slung an acoustic guitar over their shoulders, hopped on a stool and duetted on a positively gorgeous version of their hit, "You And Tequila." Of course, we're suckers for any and all things Grace (those stems!), but the way these two harmonized last night reminded us why we listen to country music in the first place. There's no slick production, no glossy radio sound, just two great voices (and some palpable chemistry) blending together to make something special. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Columbus, OH – Ohio's Christian conservatives often rail against pre-marital sex and teen pregnancy, but that's not stopping them from strongly backing Republican Sarah Palin for vice president.
Palin's 17-year-old daughter is pregnant, and Ohio evangelical conservatives say the way the family is dealing with it is actually a plus, not a minus. Statehouse correspondent Bill Cohen reports.

Weidman: Anderson Silva is not a superhero
"You have to treat him like just another opponent. You respect what he's done in this sport. Of course you do. But you can't get caught up in it. Guess what? He's a person just like I am, he's got two arms, two legs, two eyes, like I do. I'm not fighting a superhero, I'm fighting another person, and it's my job to defeat him. Simple as that. I feel like I have the right mix of skills, the desire, the determination, to get the job done. The UFC thinks enough of me to give me the title shot. To those who might think I don't deserve this yet, all I can say is, tune in on July 6 and I'll show you otherwise."
One of the busiest men in MMA's media circuit, Chris Weidman, does another interview, this time with YahooSports about his upcoming fight against Anderson Silva.
0 Responses to "Weidman: Anderson Silva is not a superhero"
What?!! Really?!? I thought Anderson turns into a giant spider everynight and fights crime! Weidman, you are a great athlete but you're still green. You have no idea what its like to be in a cage with that man. You'll find out the hard way just like all the others.
exactly.. Anderson is gonna make him look like a little kid coming to practice for the first time. Yes Weidmann is talented, yes he has skills but it's nowhere near Vitor let alone Anderson.
Yeah I like Weidman but idk if he's gonna be able to crack silva nobody has been able to great wrestlers, strikers, people with a little bit of both. If Weidman wants to beat him he need to be on that next level of mix marial arts
Weidman with a good gameplan has a shot…BUT… Anderson wins this fight 9 out of 10 times.

To receive cash through the Department of Human Service's Rhode Island Works Program:
Because the overall goal of RI Works is to encourage families to work and become self-sufficient, parents who work may still qualify for cash assistance and other help, including health care coverage, childcare subsidies and SNAP benefits (formerly called food stamps).
DHS Social Caseworkers work with parents to develop an employment plan that outlines activities they must do to improve their success in the job market.Most parents will first be required to search for employment. Single parents must work or prepare for work an average of 20 or 30 hours per week depending on the age of the youngest child. Job training and education may be recommended.
The amount of money your family receives depends on your income, household size and housing situation. Typically, each month eligible families receive:
Usually, a family is given $80 a month for each additional member. Also, families are given $50 less a month if they receive subsidized housing assistance.
Applicants may have up to $1,000 in resources (their home is excluded) and may have one vehicle for each adult in the household, but no more than two vehicles per household.
Two parent families are eligible if they meet eligibility requirements. One parent must work or prepare for work at least 35 hours per week. If the family uses a childcare subsidy, both parents must work or prepare for work a total of 55 hours per week.
Parents or pregnant girls who are younger than 18 who wish to receive cash assistance must live at home with a parent or legal guardian, or if this is found to be inappropriate, with a caretaker relative, legal guardian, or in a supervised supportive living arrangement approved and monitored by the DHS Adolescent Self Sufficiency Collaborative. In most cases, the cash payment is given to the parent, relative, or the legal guardian on behalf of the minor parent. In addition, the minor parents must participate in secondary education.
Parents are allowed to keep the first $170 of earnings per month without receiving less cash assistance from the state. After the first $170 in earnings, the cash benefit is reduced $1 for every $2 earned. The money that a dependent child earns is not included. Changes in earned income of $100 or more per month must be reported.
Adults can receive cash assistance for up to 24 months out of any 60 month period for a lifetime limit of 48 months. Generally, children will receive cash assistance only while the parents are receiving cash assistance.
You get paid twice a month paid through an electronic benefits transfer (EBT) card. With your EBT card, you can withdraw cash at bank ATMs and supermarkets like you would a debit card.
Call (401) 462-5300 or (401) 462-3363 TTY (for hearing impaired).

The study, published in the November issue of the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, indicates that exposure to TCDD, the most toxic dioxin contained in Agent Orange, may disturb the male endocrine and reproductive systems in several ways.
"Until now, we did not have very good evidence whether or not dioxins affect the human reproductive system," said Dr. Amit Gupta, a urologist at UT Southwestern and the study's lead author. "Now we know that there is a link between dioxins and the human prostate leading us to speculate that dioxins might be decreasing the growth of the prostate in humans like they do in animals."
The researchers found that veterans exposed to dioxin had lower incidence rates of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), better known as enlarged-prostate disease. BPH is a disease in humans that is caused by an enlargement of the prostate. Patients must strain to pass urine and they also must urinate frequently. BPH can lead to complications such as an inability to urinate and urinary tract infection. Surgery is sometimes needed.
Dr. Claus Roehrborn, professor and chairman of urology at UT Southwestern and a study author, said, "We know that dioxin causes many endocrine disturbances in the human body. The study indirectly proves that BPH is an endocrine disorder."
Regarding the decreased risk for BPH found in the veterans groups, Dr. Gupta cautioned that the finding should not be interpreted as a positive result.
"It may be construed that a decrease in the risk of BPH is not a harmful effect, but the larger picture is that dioxins are affecting the normal growth and developmen

Did Broken Immigration System Bring Down American Apparel?
Andrea Nill: Rather than crippling one of the few clothing manufacturers left in the U.S. — one that pays its workers a decent wage and has dedicated a portion of its profits to advocating for immigration reform — perhaps the focus in the absence of major reform should be on punishing those employers who make a profit by exploiting immigrant workers via the strengthening of our nation's labor laws.

Fab Labs are equipped with Roland machines, both Modela MDX-20 and GX24 Vinyl Cutter. though, we are in the path to Fab Labs 2.0, in which the machines of the Fab Lab will be produced in the Fab Lab, reducing costs and customizing machines according to specific needs. At the same time there is a whole movement of DIY machines (Rep-Rap, Fab@Home, MakerBot, and lately Ultimaker, among many others), which are creating a new scenario for makers, being able to find plans and BOM online for making your own machine at your garage, living room or even on your bedroom.
The fun comes when companies realize that something is going on, the prices are going down, and more and more people is leaving the common industrialized system of production and consumption, stoping from being customers for them. From this discovery (at companies) are coming new machines which are simpler, cheaper and accessible for almost everyone, reducing some times the price by 10 times. This is the case of the iModela, a CNC milling machine that is able to make almost the same things that the Modela MDX-20, but 10 times cheaper.
We are testing the iModela at the Fab Lab Barcelona, where we use the small CNC machine to make mainly circuit boards, the problem comes when we try to use the same tools as we use in the Modela, 1/8″ collet, while the iModela one is smaller. So far we have been able to generate gcode from RhinoCam and load it into the machine with a nice interface (much better than Modela Player 4), where you can move and set the machine in a very intuitive way.
If we are able to mill circuit boards with this machine, then we will have a much more accessible version of a Fab Lab. More updates will come…

Video:How to Shut Off Water Supply to Sink Faucetwith Debbie Anderson
Find out how to locate the water supply leading to the sink faucet, and how to properly shut it off when you need to.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Shut Off Water Supply to Sink Faucet
Hi, I'm Debbie Anderson for About.com. If you have a broken sink faucet that refuses to stop spewing water, then today I'm going to show you how to locate and shut off the local water supply running into your sink faucet until you can repair or replace the problem causing the faucet to malfunction.
Try to Shut Off Faucet by Hand
First, always try to turn off the sink faucet at the main fixture handle. If the water still continues to run into the sink, open the cabinet doors directly under the problematic sink.
Clear Out a Workspace
Next, remove all of the contents that are stored inside the cabinet directly under the sink and place these items in a location that is a safe distance away from the sink.
Turn Off the Water Line
Once the area directly under the sink has been cleared out, you will see a main water line leading up toward the underside of the sink with shut-off valve handles attached to the main water line.
Twist the handles in a clockwise direction until the handles have been turned as far as they can go. In some instances, the shut-off handle on the main water line may have broken off, and in this case, use a pair of adjustable pliers to twist the bolt where the handle use to attach to the shut-off valve in a clockwise direction until it has turned as far as it will go.
Turn the Water Back On
Finally, once you have repaired the problem with the faucet, turn the handle on the water line under the sink in a counter-clockwise direction to turn the water back on and to restore water flow to the sink's water faucet fixture.
And with there you have it. A fast and safe way to prevent a broken sink faucet fixture from over running. Thank you for watching. To learn more, please visit us on the web at About.com.

Banks that were "too small to save" complain that not only were they left to suffer the effects of a weak economy without government bailout money, but they've also had to fight off an increasingly aggressive GMAC, a beneficiary of federal largesse.
GMAC lost $10.3 billion last year, yet because the company was propped up three times, it could still compete -- and quite "aggressively," since it was without restrictions, according to Steve Verdier, director of congressional affairs for the Independent Community Bankers of America. "They were, in effect, using their subsidy to pay more for deposits than other banks would normally pay," Verdier said.
GMAC -- along with its banking subsidiary, renamed last year as Ally Bank -- has been allowed special treatment from the start, according to Chairwoman Elizabeth Warren of the Congressional Oversight Panel, which reported that GMAC will be unable to pay back its three bailouts -- $17.2 billion in taxpayer money -- by October, when the Troubled Asset Relief Program comes to an end.
"Ally Bank is one of the best-capitalized banks in the country," said GMAC spokeswoman Gina Proia. "GMAC is grateful for the U.S. government's support and is committed to repaying the taxpayers' investment in full in a timely manner."
In the winter of 2008, GMAC was turned into a bank holding company by the Federal Reserve in order to make the company eligible for emergency funding under TARP. The Treasury then bailed it out not under the Capital Purchase Program, like all the other megabanks, but under the Automotive Industry Financing Program.
The oversight panel is unsure of the reasoning behind the Treasury's decision and even more skeptical over Secretary Timothy Geithner's conclusion that GMAC need not be held to the same strict standards as the automakers, nor made to fulfill the requirements imposed on banks.
Uncertainty about the company's identity is evident even in an internal struggle over where its banking headquarters should be located -- in Detroit, with the automakers, or in Charlotte, N.C., with the nation's largest banks. Plans to move to Charlotte were scrapped by a new CEO.
GMAC offered some of the highest interest rates for deposit accounts in the country and one-year CDs at 2.8 percent -- rates considered the highest in the nation in mid-2009. According to Verdier, those rates soon drew depositors away from community banks. Although the extent to which GMAC may have hurt small banks is hard to track, the firm reported $36 billion in assets in March 2009 -- a 2,000 percent increase over four years.
The American Bankers Association echoed the concerns of ICBA and filed a complaint with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. last year, stating that other bailed-out banks "would never be allowed to follow the aggressive deposit strategy being pursued by GMAC Bank/Ally Bank."
Although the FDIC does not publicly comment on operating banks, "they did send a letter to GMAC asking them to raise their rates and make them more in the competitive range of things, not to be predatory," according to John Hall, spokesman for the American Bankers Association. Almost a year later, Ally still offers above-market rates on CDs and money market and savings accounts, and the Congressional Oversight Panel complains of "missed opportunities to impose strong restrictions" by the Treasury.
"It's clear that TARP convinced many investors that taxpayers will bear any price and absorb any loss to prevent the collapse of a handful of banks," said oversight panel spokesman Thomas Seay. "The panel found this belief can distort prices, forcing smaller banks to compete for credit and for investment dollars with larger banks that are perceived to have implicit government backing. So long as lenders and borrowers believe that an implicit guarantee remains in effect, the market will remain tangled with mispricing, moral hazard and excess risk-taking."
The shadow around the Treasury's decision to bail out GMAC multiple times has left small bankers rankled. "I think GMAC is looked on as a textbook case of the government bailing out the 'too big to fail' crowd and showing a lot of favoritism towards that segment of the industry," Verdier said.
Conservatives charged the administration with favoring GMAC to prop up General Motors and saw a political motive in Ally Bank pulling its ads from conservative commentator Glenn Beck's show after Beck called the president a racist.
"I think it's clear they don't want to offend the Obama administration," said Peter Flaherty, president of the National Legal and Policy Center, a conservative watchdog group. GMAC, Flaherty believes, "should be allowed to fail. The sooner the better."
Analysts have proposed breaking up big banks to confront the risk of Washington-Wall Street politics, an idea community bankers are backing.
Regulatory reform legislation from Senate Banking Chairman Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., would call for higher capital requirements that would keep institutions like GMAC small by weaning them off public money and forcing them to raise their own capital. President Obama's proposed fee on banks with more than $50 billion in assets could also target GMAC as he tries to recoup TARP money, while leaving community banks alone.
Discussions about the fee "could take place in the next few weeks," according to Matthew Beck, spokesman for the House Ways and Means Committee. Whatever happens, Obama promised in his announcement of the program in January that "my commitment is to the taxpayer. My commitment is to recover every single dime the American people are owed."

Dave Doroghy believes that the Olympic Games are one of the greatest forces of good in the entire world.
Dave says two important factors will ensure the Olympic Movement's future success more than anything else: Choosing great cities that are well prepared to host the Games and continuing to raise the bar on domestic Olympic sponsorship revenues. He is proud of his track record in both of these areas.
To that end, Dave has worked on two back-to-back consecutive winning Winter and Summer Olympic Games Bids — a unique distinction. His work heading up the Sponsorship Sales Department at VANOC for five years resulted in world record-breaking sponsorship revenues.
After the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games concluded, Dave Doroghy was recruited as a consultant and sponsorship revenue generator for the Toronto 2015 Pan American Games where he laid the foundation for their sponsorship sales program. For two and a half years (ending Spring 2013) Dave assisted that Organizing Committee in acquiring their major sponsors.
The Pan Am Games, which fall under the Olympic charter, are the world's third-largest multi-sport event after the Summer Olympics and the Asian Games. Some 6,000 athletes from 42 countries in the Americas will compete in 36 different sports in Toronto, including all the Olympic sports. Dave says the Toronto 2015 Pan American Games will be fantastic. VIVA PAN AM!
As his assignment with the Pan American Games wraps ups, Dave is closely following the race to host the 2022 Olympic Winter Games.

Personally, I'm not too terribly excited, it's not something you'll be typing on the fly, probably. I can't really see a Mage or Warlock(or anybody) taking the extra time to type that out properly when something goes wrong(ie death), as simple as it seems to do so. However, this could be a good tool for raid leaders, not so much the raiders. A raid leader could include these in a tanking/crowd control assignment macro. "/ra Matthew, tank {skull}. Christian, sheep {square}." That sort of thing.
Regardless of how often this will actually be used, it's a nice little feature, and I'm sure post-2.4 mods and addons will make good use of them, even if the players themselves don't.

" I am death and sorrow." -Acheron
Take the quizz here!
But cos we never really saw Lelouch want Shirley except for when she might have died it kind of makes him seem heartless even early on.
But after that we have to be content knowing that Shirley is somewhere in his heart and he thinks of her occasionally, does stuff for her...it kinda weighs his character down. So there, maybe they did also take into account that it would affect Lelouch's character.
Ergo, kill off characters close to Lelouch so the audience sympathises with him. And also to develop his character further.
I have recently transformed into a defender of the mentally ill. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Well I didn't cry in the last episode of Code Geass I was just disappointed.
No. Lelouch isn't like Light. Light wanted to be God, and got what was coming to him. Lelouch wanted to fix a screwed up world, and succeeded.
Also, don't double post. just push edit in the future, okay?
Oh and I have yet to answer the question: I didn't cry, but I was very confused because I interpreted it both ways. And then I say all the photos and had to do rapid pausing to try and spot Lelouch in the pictures...
I am sad...
All I'm saying is in the large scope of things both Light and Lelouch wanted to rule the world in one way or another. And even though Lelouch said he wanted to fix a screwed up world, he really didn't, he just wanted to rule the world. He even says so at the end.
"Oh and I have yet to answer the question: I didn't cry,"
I did cry. I thought it was really sad even though he was messed...up. Because he wanted to fix things at the end, you know? I didn't watch the end in the dub but I watched the beginning in the dub. It was pretty good.
Hey guys just finished the last episode and yeah, I did cry. It's such a good series and I love how you end up empathizing with characters on both sides of the battle (except for that jerk Prince Schneizel :P). I'm so glad Lelouch realized his dream even though there was a lot of bloodshed and it was bittersweet!
I cried hard manly tears.
I was blubbering like a baby. It was soo sad. I hate crying but it feels so good
Once again, amazing props to the talented Paprika!!
This smile kills....
I would cry if my mother wouldn't call me when I was watching the last episode.
Oooh yeah I did.
Then again, I'm ridiculously sensitive to this stuff. Haha. Although, I'll be honest -
I think I cried more over Rolo. <3
Near the end of the season (2), I was a bit "hater" of Lelouch. He was selfish and tyrannt then. But as the episodes goes on, Lelouch made himself the enemy of the world, just to create a new world for his sister. geeez. I HATE HIS SISTER for not understanding her brother .. !! well, that's the story eh. Until the last episode, my heart was pounding then, it's like.. "what will happen next, what will happen to Lelouch and did Suzaku really die?" as the final episode lead me to the answer, it did give me a RIVER OF TEARS T_T the background music is really good .. it will really make you cry. It took time before I got over to that scene.
I didn't cry,but I felt sadness on my heart.
Every time I watch that scene I well up.
The first time, though, I was just thinking, "Don't cry. Don't cry. Don't cry," mostly because I was watching it at school. And I thought I was going to make it, but when Suzaku started crying I started welling up and when Nunally started screaming I just lost it.
OMG i cried so hard. i havent seen it dubbed yet but R2 complete collection has just been released in Australia today so i'll go get it soon.

For anime check out my blog at:
I did, and that's the only time I've cried in any anime. I've seen 5cm per Second and Code Geass is the anime I cry about.
Also, Light was most certainly heartless. Lelouch was not.
Last edited by under the rain; 01-08-2011 at 08:45 AM.
I cried, and was overwhelmed by the revelation of Lelouche's master plan. If you think about it, it is pure epicness. The whole idea itself to me was epic. I loved the Anime!
Honestly, I cry all the time in anime so it's kinda needless to say ;p I just can't help but get emotional! orz
Currently listening to: Gin'iro Konpeitou Gakudan (Yura Hatsuki x Konori)'s "Gentou PAREEDO ~phantasm parade~"Currently playing: Breath of Fire III on PSPCurrently watching: Kuroshitsuji
I felt sad, really sad...... but I didnt cry...
Actually when I first meet this forum I never think this can be a wonderful work,just think about the first chapter you will find that plot of a play too fast and Lelouch got his ability so quickly!
But with the develop of the story I start to fall in love with Lelouch and find this guy can only be a tragedy because he do everything for his little sister and never think about himself!
At the end of Code Geass, Lelouch's best friend Suzaku killed him and I finally can't stop to cry!

Read any profile of a successful entrepreneur or executive, and eventually you'll find some reference to the fact that they get up early. The folks who start multimillion-dollar businesses, write bestselling business books, and do TED Talks all seem to get up at the crack of dawn. So where do they get the get-up-and-go?
If you've done time in a cubicle farm, you're familiar with Dilbert, the flat-topped, curly-tie-wearing avatar of white-collar drudgery. But what you might not know is that his creator, cartoonist Scott Adams, failed a lot on the road to success.
Read before you roll your eyes at Dwain M. DeVille's recent Inc article, "5 Reasons You Should Own a Motorcycle." Even non-bike enthusiasts can learn a few things from his unique perspective on entrepreneurship.
What do you do when you're bringing home the bacon, but you can't stand your job? We turn to the Quora community to see what its members have to say about sticking with a high-paying job that you hate versus ditching the 9-to-5 to pursue a more fulfilling (and potentially less lucrative) career path.
Simply setting up a LinkedIn profile is not enough to get you hired nowadays, given the sheer numbers of qualified candidates. If you want to learn how to stand out in the crowd, then follow these six easy steps below to help you get discovered online!
Conventional wisdom about female entrepreneurship is that women start businesses for women, often around fashion or beauty, and that those businesses operate on a small scale, often out of the home. But today's women entrepreneurs are building diverse businesses in areas ranging from personal finance to technology -- and they're going big.
