The Washington Post's editorial (7/7/09) on the death of Vietnam-era Defense Secretary Robert McNamara managed to outdo even the New York Times' victim-erasing obituary. The Times cited the number of invading troops killed by McNamara's war of aggression while ignoring the vastly larger number of Indochinese deaths–but for the Post, neither the aggressors nor their victims are as important as the "agonizing" that the architect of the war went through. As the editorial concludes, "The true McNamara's War, as it turned out, was longer than Vietnam, and was fought mostly within himself." It's a given that the Washington Post empathizes […]
For the WaPo, McNamara Is the Real Victim of the Vietnam War
Moral Perversity and the McNamara Toll
In the sixth paragraph of his front-page obituary of Vietnam War-era Defense Secretary Robert McNamara (7/7/09), the New York Times' Tim Weiner tries–and fails–to give some idea of the human cost of McNamara's war: Half a million American soldiers went to war on his watch. More than 16,000 died; 42,000 more would fall in the seven years to come. What's missing, of course, is the number of Vietnamese and other Indochinese who died as a result of the war whose escalation McNamara oversaw; estimates range from 1 million to more than 3 million, but Weiner never gets around to mentioning […]

Dean Cain will always be Superman in the same way that I will always be ruggedly handsome – fictionally. Jimmy Kimmel broke the news to Dean Cain on Jimmy Kimmel Live that there's a new Superman movie and he's not in it.
What would you say if I told you Dean Cain has been in 19 movies since the start of 2010? That's more than Samuel L Jackson! He might not have the red underwear anymore, but Dean Cain is still Superman. Only Superman could manage to be in 19 movies and have me not recognize the name of a single one.

Ted Simons: For the first time in more than two years, Phoenix area foreclosures make up less than 30% of existing home transactions. Here to tell us what that says about the valley's real estate market is Jay Butler, a real estate professor emeritus with ASU's W.P. Carey School of Business. Good to see you again. Thanks for joining us.
Jay Butler: Good to be here.
Five straight months of decline. What's going on?
Jay Butler: There are a lot of reasons. The moratoriums are on, the banks say they are slowing things down to make sure everything is correct, they are pacing themselves a little more. The other reason is hopefully we're simply running out of things to foreclose on. We've foreclosed on 14% of the homes in Maricopa County and another 12% of the townhouse condos. You would hope we were beginning to run out of product to foreclose on. The big issue is you normally would think other sales activity would pick up. But it hasn't because of the economic issues, low consumer confidence, all the other things. The total sales are also declining.
Ted Simons: So basically when we got foreclosure rates bellow 3% as I mention earlier, since 2009, back in January or February we were at 43%?
Jay Butler: 43%. And back about a year and a half we were at 46%.
Ted Simons: Is this the natural order of things? Again, something that's happening that could bite us here coming up in a couple of months again?
Jay Butler: I think there's a theory out there for every one of those positions. We really don't know. We've never been here before, so we don't know how it's going to act. I think we're on the beginning to move out of this thing. My concern is continued weak economy. We're seeing some new finance rules and regs going into effect the first of October that could have some impacts on the housing market. And just general lack of confidence. There's a real push that the American dream is dead, which in my years is the fourth time the American dream has died. And pushing rentals out there. so there are lots of stories. And every story has lots of credibility.
Ted Simons: Who's buying right now?
Jay Butler: Investors. Basically it used to be a lot of Canadians and Asians buying it. You're back in the same group that bought homes in the hyper market. Individuals and investors, we were seeing the seminars repeat themselves again. One side advantage with a lot of these homes, we have old housing stock. A lot of these homes are being fixed up and it's improving some neighborhoods.
Ted Simons: The ramifications of investors buying more so than owner-occupieds, what does mean for the future?
Jay Butler: It better mean we're growing or filling those rentals. We saw an increase in vacancy in apartments. We're running heavy 8% of single-family homes are vacant in Maricopa County. Almost 10% of condos are vacant. We have a heavy vacancy level out there, also. We're not getting the population growth because we don't have the job growth.
Ted Simons: And people just aren't coming here like they used to. Are we seeing more short sales, fewer foreclosures but maybe more -- I think we had a lender on the program that said short sales seem to be on the increase. You see that as well?
Jay Butler: Well, I think they are tending to really, the MLS, the only source of numbers. It's not one that you can publicly pick up. But there's a sense that lenders are more prone to do them than they were a while ago.
Ted Simons: You've got to be patient, it'll a lot of paperwork.
Ted Simons: The idea of this kind of graph going down, as far as foreclosures, yet the economy seems stagnant. The job picture just kind of signature there on this plateau. Does it make sense that the economy is somewhat stagnant but the foreclosure rate is still coming down?
Jay Butler: I think it makes sense when you're running out after product to foreclose on. The second is, if banks are in fact cooling the process and stretching it out to make sure they are doing it right and following all the procedures, you would expect that. Now, we're at 29%, historically we're at 3%. We've got a long ways to go. If it's simply pacing itself, we could expect this to continue on for a longer period of time. You've got look at the motivation. It's not clear really what the motivation is. It's not clear as to what the motivation is.
Ted Simons: Do you see the motivation for the banks to continue being strict or a little more strict, I should say?
Jay Butler: I think it pays for them to do that right now because of the headaches they had starting back in October with the lawsuits and the bad press and other things. I think they want to be very careful about what they are doing at this particular point in time.
Ted Simons: What are we seeing as far as median prices? It looks like those continue to go down.
Jay Butler: Well, you're seeing some improvement in some areas. This recovery once we've started is not going to be even. We're seeing some strengthening in some of the East Valley communities. Some lower levels in the we feel valley communities, surprise, a couple of those are pulling in. Pinal County is still seeing some serious issues. They are still drifting a little bit.
Ted Simons: That's single-family homes. What about townhomes, condo market?
Jay Butler: That's falling down.
Ted Simons: With everything in mind we've talked about here, are we bumping bottom as far as prices are concerned.
Jay Butler: We probably are. As much as we're talking about a double dip recession or double or triple-dip prices. We're down around $125,000 right now. You could see if the economy went further down -- I think if we're running out of product to foreclose on, the market is simply going slow down. You're not going to sell because you're underwater. One of the benefits right now is remodeling is quite a strong part of this market right now. People are saying, we can't sell our home, we don't really want to, let's fix it up. We forget there is a group out there that is relatively happy with where they are good schools, reasonable mortgage and everything else.
Ted Simons: The old-fashioned idea of people buying homes and staying in homes because they like to live there.
Jay Butler: What a unique concept.
Ted Simons: Jay, good to see you.
Jay Butler: Nice to see you too.

The railway tracks entering Auschwitz
Luke Lambert / / News
CASTLE Point's MP has condemned prejudice by signing the Holocaust Memorial Day Book of Commitment.
Rebecca Harris has remembered those that were killed in the massacre as well as the survivors who have relived their experiences.
This year's Holocaust Memorial Day, on Monday, January 27, marks the 69th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau, the site of the largest mass murder in history.
Ms Harris said: "It is an important opportunity to remember the victims and survivors of the Holocaust. The Day also serves as a reminder that we should continue standing up against all forms of racism and bigotry anywhere in the World."
Thousands of commemorative events have been arranged across the country, remembering the six million killed in the Holocaust.

Ra Ra Riot were the first band I caught at the inaugural Escape Music Festival, which went down at The Governors Beach Club.
Although the weather was less than ideal, Ra Ra Riot warmed us up with a great set that kicked things off in style. I saw them play last year at Music Hall of Williamsburg where they delighted with both new songs off 2013 album Beta Love, as well as old favorites. This time around it was more old favorites than Beta Love cuts, which was fine with me. It's always great to hear material such as "Too Too Too Fast" and "Dying Is Fine." They also kept the mean cover of U2's "Two Hearts Beat As One," which they've quite perfected by now.

MATLAB Newsgroup
I am new to Matlab and would like some help on how I would create a red noise spectrum.
I need it in order to compare it to a frequency analysis I have created using fft which I believe represents a certain amount of red noise.
Basically, what I would like is some code that will create an array (I think) of red noise that I can plot onto the same axis as my fft output.
Thanks in advance.

Hi James, Red noise is typically used to describe an AR(1) process that is lowpass in nature, meaning that the single pole is near 1+j0 on the unit circle. So if you create an AR(1) filter with something like:
and then filter white noise with this single-pole IIR filter:
x = filter(1,A,randn(1000,1));
You get a process which has a red-noise type behavior.
Hope that helps,
Cheers Wayne. That's great. Is there any way to force the red noise between certain values though?
For example, the data I wish to compare it to varies between 0 and 0.2 but the red noise produced varies between anything from 10 to -10.

Hi James, Yes you can. What you need to know is:
The variance of the AR(1) process: This is (I really wish I could type in TeX here):
where sigma^2 is the variance of your white noise input and phi is your AR(1) coefficient (0.9 in my example).
Remember that for a Gaussian process the total range will be the mean +/- approx. 3 standard deviations. When you say it varies between [0,0.2] I'm going to take the mean value to be 0.1 so that means that 3*sigma is approximately 0.1.
This means sigma is approximately 0.0333. That value squared is the variance of the AR(1) process. Now to get the variance of the white noise input you multiply 0.0011*(1-0.9^2). So
x = sqrt(2.09e-4)*randn(1000,1);
y = filter(1,A,x)+0.1;
Should give you a process that varies from about [0,0.2] and has an AR(1) power spectral density.
That's perfect! Thanks!

I Am a Reluctant Test Audience
For free entertainment, I managed to get myself on the list to get free movie screening passes. Recently, this has gotten me into a couple of super advance screenings of movies that aren't due out for months and months. Contractually, I'm not allowed to say anything about the movies, but there wasn't anything in the confidentiality agreement about talking about the screening process. So let's cover those in the broadest terms.
After the movies everyone in the audience gets questionnaires. And when I say everyone, I mean everyone. Every opinion is the same. My opinion doesn't matter any more or less than the guy in the American flag shirt with the cut off sleeves…and yeah, that guy really exists. My opinion doesn't matter any more or less than woman who kept misplacing her child because she was doing something else. My opinion also doesn't matter any more or less than that child, who also gets a questionnaire! Technically, my opinion matters less than all the aforementioned people because I'm too old.
Spoiler-Free Captain America Geekout
This summer, I loved Harry Potter and I really enjoyed Thor, but Captain America is what I've been waiting for since I was 7. I am an unabashed Cap fanboy, and have been for as long as I can remember. This summer has been a countdown to Cap for me, and my wait finally ended this last night. Holy crap did I love this movie. Do not expect a blow-by-blow story breakdown or analysis of the finer points of technique. I am about to geek the fuck out.
This movie made me giddy, like I wish the Star Wars prequels had. Every frame on the screen was my childhood coming to life. The special effects were phenomenal, if I didn't know better, I'd swear they starved Chris Evans and shrunk him to play skinny Steve Rogers. The shield slinging was so cool, which was important, because without it, this wouldn't have been a true Captain America movie.
The character were all spot-on. Captain America has always been my favorite because he was just a regular kid who was given the ability to be a hero, and always knew the right thing to do and how to do it. They pulled that off perfectly. Chris Evans was awesome in the role, both as the determined, awkward weakling, and as the great hero. Hugo Weaving as the Red Skull was brilliant, too. He was evil, menacing, and not too over-the top. The Howling Commandos were great, though I wish they had mentioned them by name.
I didn't mind any of the little changes they made to the original story, everything worked for me, and I think allowed them to tell a cleaner story, rather than having to explain a lot of unnecessary back stories.
There were some cool nods to the comics, too, like the way we first see Arnim Zola. The Stan Lee cameo was quick, but funny and didn't take away from the story. The use of the comic style Captain America uniform was also a great nod, and made great sense in the context of the movie.
The only complaint I have is that the movie was over too quickly. As it was wrapping up, I suddenly realized it was about to be over, and very much wished it was longer. Also, don't forget to stay after the credits. The post-credits sequence is awesome.
One final note, I have never been to a movie where I have seen more people wearing T-shirts featuring the character from the movie. There was even a little kid wearing a full Captain America costume, who had his picture taken with me because he liked my Cap costume hoodie so much.
Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows : A Muggle's Review
I'm not a fanboy of the Harry Potter persuasion because I'm not a young adult that grew up with the books, a female fantasy fan nor a poser trying to lure a fangirl out of her Hogwart's uniform. I am a certified fantasy nerd and will not reveal any spoilers for those that are too cool to read the novels, but Harry wins in the end as you should expect. Read a book.
I've read none of the books, but I have seen all the Potter movies to see what the fuss was about. Overall, they were decent but not moving. Owing to being a series for kids, I forgave them for not having balls – which for most of the characters hadn't dropped yet. All the while, I'm waiting for Harry to come into his own and stop being a Harry Sue character – constantly protected from heroic sacrifice by magical creatures, competent adults and ugly red-headed sidekicks written as less important.
I watched Deathly Hallows part two directly after watching part one, I'm a vet of the Lord of the Rings Extended version – yes, my life is that empty.
Part one established a dark high stakes tone in the beginning with so many supporting characters deaths, then it winds down to a magical hide and seek scavenger hunt around the world with Hermione doing research. The cutaways to show the effects of the Death Eater take over where good, but too far in between. It has a slightly more dreadful feel than when the Republicans took the House.
Finally, there's some magical intervention that gets things moving when they can finally start destroying horcruxes (horcruxi? whores' crotches? Is that where Bellatrix was hiding them? That's Lastrange.)
We learn what the Deathly Hollows are, but not why they aren't the "Deadly Hallows". These are English speakers, right? The story arch peaks with the death of the cutest character to date, more sadness then a tonal shift to "AW SHITTLEBERRIES! Now, it's personal!"
Part 2 had the much more quicker pace that a finale should. Action, tension, action, tension – you know, like a movie. Voldemort is made gradually weaker with each destroyed horcrux with the backdrop being a magical war I've been much anticipating. Harry and Snapes' relationship is fully revealed, which satisfyingly transforms our view of the headmaster. Our "hero" fated to save everyone is going to actually have to take one for the team, team being the world – about time.
Potter goes forth to die and is merely knocked out by a loophole in wand etiquette. This bothered me. Voldemort's entire goal is to kill Harry, yet he doesn't check the apparent body himself? He could feel whenever a horcrux was destroyed, but not this most important one in the series? That's as dumb as a Jedi Chosen One taking a Sith Lord at his word.
Dumbledore's ghost tells Potter he can stay in Heaven's subway or go back and make sure all those deaths for his sake were'nt in vain. What kind of asshole would stay, especially when there's a Weasley wet for him?
Harry survives. Neville Longbottom comes through amazingly, then Potter shows Voldemort how to kill an enemy. Flash forward: Harry knocks up Ginny and Ron does the same to Hermione, kids go to Hogwarts, the Circle of Life plays in your heart and the end.
So, again, somebody else makes it possible for Harry to succeed. Neville fills his shoes to destroy the last horcrux with Hermione and Ron serving their usual role as bait. As soon as Voldemort is mortal, it's a done deal? Wasn't he a badass before all this? There's a likely stated reason for this that I missed in previous exposition, the point is I didn't find Harry's victory all the heroic, but I guess its par for the course.
These are a good pair of movies, and I'm sure emotional investment in the series will make it awesome, but for me it was worth the price of admission: $5 bootleg.
Happy Birthday, America!
Woo! I was going to post the Team America theme song, but decide maybe we should be the only web site that doesn't do that today. Instead, enjoy the trailer for Captain America, which is going to kick ass all over the place in a couple of weeks.
God damn, i can't wait for that movie.
E.T: Jedi?
My five-year-old son Alex came home a few days ago insisting that he had learned from his friends that E.T. "Has the Force." My wife chalked it up to him being cute and a believer in all things Star Wars, but he insisted it was true. Of course, she decided she'd show him by ordering E.T. from Netflix.
My wife and I had not seen E.T. since it was originally released 19 years ago, so the details were fuzzy, but she was sure he was no Jedi. Well, we watched the movie, and Alex is more convinced than ever that E.T. "Has the Force," but now I agree with him.
In the movie, E.T. displays telekinetic powers, not unlike a Jedi might manipulate his surroundings with the Force.
Additionally, E.T. passes a kid dressed up as Yoda for Halloween, and tries to follow him, saying "Home, home." It appears he recognizes Yoda, or at least his species.
Then of course, a delegation of E.T's species is visible in Star Wars episode I.
This may not be a new idea, but I am now convinced that E.T. does exist in the same universe as Star Wars, and that while E.T. may not be Jedi, he, and maybe his entire species, is at least Force-sensitive.
Alex and his friends were right.
Movies I Won't Be Seeing This Summer
Summer 2011 is shaping up to be a pretty awesome time for movies, especially if you love all things nerdy. Who ever thought we'd see Thor, X-Men First Class, Green Lantern, Harry Potter and Captain America movies all in one summer? It's a great time to be a geek. Sadly, though, into every summer falls a few garbage family movies. As I've stated before, I'm the father of two young boys, and am bombarded with advertisements for things people are trying to sell them. Lately, it's been movie ads.
These are worst I've seen this year:
Mr Popper's Penguins
What a piece of crap this looks like. I can hear the Hollywood brain trust coming up with this one:
"They're penguins, What should we call them?"
"Well, what do they do?"
"One is kind of loud."
"One bites Jim Carrey a lot."
And so on… My 5-year old could have come up with more imaginative names. Yeahbsolutely.
The Zoo Keeper, or Night at the Museum at the Zoo:
"Hey, kids like the King of Queens guy, right? …and funny animals? …and T.G.I. Fridays?"
The girl won't marry him because he's a zookeeper? Really? Don't you have to have a degree to do that?
I'm going to make a bold prediction about this one. He realizes the blonde girl is a bitch and ends up with Rosario Dawson. Credits.
I will not be taking my family to either of these CGI animal turds. Luckily, they haven't shown interest in either, I guess I'm raising them right.
Green Lantern Movie Toy Review
Summer movie season is fast approaching, and with it comes the inevitable movie tie-in toy lines. With typically lackluster offerings over the years (refer to the Playmates 3-¾" Star Trek line from a couple of years ago), the major toy companies have successfully lowered my expectations of what we will see for movie tie-in merchandise, particularly in the action figure department. This year's Green Lantern movie toys from Mattel stick to the long-standing "Throw anything on the shelves, kids will buy it!" tradition.
We had all had seen pictures of the line from Toy Fair earlier this year, and I was under whelmed to say the least. The toys looked kind of cheap, and the likenesses didn't look right. Today, however, I got to see the 3-¾" toys in person at a Toys 'R' Us store.
Holy crap, what steaming piles of dog turds these are. As fake-y as the CGI characters look in the trailers and TV ads we've seen so far, they look even goofier in plastic form. Kilowog looks like a cartoon dog. Hal Jordan looks like a stiff-armed Jerry Seinfeld. Also, the line boasts a whopping 6 points of articulation – shoulders, hips, head and waist, at least on the figures I saw (Sinestro, Hal and Kilowog). It does appear that some of the figures have ball joints at the shoulders, which provide some range of motion, but most of the Hal Jordan figures are simple up-down swivels. So, the only action poses you can do with them are waving, pointing, and goose-stepping. At $8.99 MSRP per figure, are we really supposed to get excited about toys like that?
As toy collectors, we have come to expect better, even in a 3-¾" line. In a hobby where Hasbro is putting out super-articulated G.I. Joes, Jedis and Marvel Superheroes, we demand better. Mattel has really dropped the ball on this line, in my opinion. They can say it's aimed at kids and not collectors all they want, but it's no excuse for poor quality. Hasbro has been making beautiful figures at that scale for years, Mattel just can't seem to get it right. They should have learned from their ill-fated DC Infinite Heroes line a couple of years ago. You need to please the kids and the collectors with a line like this to be successful, and you do that by offering a combination of cool sculpts, reasonably good articulation, and a high level of playability. You don't achieve that by giving us cheap-looking, stiff-armed junk.
To be fair, the 6" line doesn't look terrible, but those figures are fifteen dollars each. I'm already stretched thin trying to collect toys I really want, like the great 6" DC Universe and comic-book themed Green Lantern lines Mattel is putting out, which does prove Mattel can make great toys when they try. Too bad they didn't put in any of that effort here.
In short, I will not be buying these, not for me or my kids, not even when they inevitably end up in the clearance aisle at Wal-mart. Am I completely off-base? Does anybody want any of these? What movie toy are you looking forward to Thor? Captain America? Let me know.

Mike vs. Kobe vs. The Game With No Name: The Conclusion
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 trailer
OK, I know I'm a few weeks late on this one, but give me a break. I'm new to this site and blogging in general.
The trailer for the final installment in the Harry Potter Octology (is that a word?) was released, and has Potter-heads everywhere all atwitter, myself included. I'm a late comer to the Harry Potter world, having waited until my wife made me watch the first 6 movies before I ever cracked one of the books, but I am a full-on Potter nerd now. The trailer is beautiful, and gives us glimpses of some of the coolest parts of the book brought to life. I'll try to stay spoiler-free, but I make no promises, especially if you haven't seen the previous movies.
In this final chapter, it's a race for Harry and friends to complete their mission begun in part one, the destruction of Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes, the items that he has imbued with a piece of his soul in an effort to live forever, and to then vanquish him once and for all. Right away, the familiar theme music brings us back into the magical world. The Voldemort voice-over sets the tone, reminding us this is no longer a kids' movie series, these characters are grown up now and are dealing with some dark, life-or-death situations. The trailer then gives us glimpses of the roller-coaster ride into the Gringott's vault, a dragon, Death-eaters galore, wizards flinging spells all over, and a whole bunch of stuff on fire. Only one thing bugs me, I don't remember the scene with Harry and Voldemort falling off a bridge in the book, so that may be a movie add-on, please correct me if I'm wrong. Everything leads up to the battle of Hogwarts, which we see bits of, not enough to spoil anything, but enough to give those of us who already know what happens glimpses of all the things we are hoping to see.
This movie should shut up anyone who called the last one slow or boring. Everything that I can remember that is left of the story is non-stop excitement and action, which is what the trailer seems to show. There will be battles, there will be death, and there will be fire and explosions. Characters will meet their fates and fulfill their destinies. In the end only one can survive – the Chosen One or the Dark Lord.
Yes, many of us have read the books, but seeing it alive on screen is something completely different. Between this and Captain America, July can't come soon enough for this nerd. I'm excited, are you?

Created in close co-operation with a remarkable range of contemporary Tibetan masters, including guidance from Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Zenkar Rinpoche and Garje Khamtrul Rinpoche, this new translation represents a major step in the understanding of the Tibetan Buddhist vision of our journey through life and death.

This book gives detailed instructions for dream yoga, including foundational practices done during the day. In the Tibetan tradition, the ability to dream lucidly is not an end in itself, rather it provides an additional context in which one can engage in advanced and effective practices to achieve liberation. Dream yoga is followed by sleep yoga, also known as the yoga of clear light. It is a more advanced practice where the goal is to stay conscious during deep sleep, when the gross mind and senses cease to operate and subtle mind is actualised. Most Westerners do not even consider this depth of awareness a possibility, yet it is well known in Tibetan Buddhist and Bon traditions.

Great Host & Beautiful Guest House
My partner and I had been in Lincoln for the Christmas Market and had booked a stay at The Hollies Guest House.
We were greeted by Caroline and were made very welcome. Our room was lovely and the bed was massive. Beautiful bathroom adjoining our bedroom and nothing was too much trouble for our host. Breakfast was lovely (full English) and tea and coffee plentiful. Would definitely return and recommend.

First stay at The Hollies
I can see no reason why this will be my last visit.
I was made very welcome when I arrived. The room was spotlessly clean and furnished to a high standard. Everything was in keeping with the character of the house. No meagre wrapped biscuit with the tea making equipment, instead there was a jar containing two Tunnocks caramel wafers. There was even a small decanter of port on the bedside table. The shutters on the window made a decent job of reducing the traffic noise which wasn't intrusive. The en-suite is well fitted out with high quality equipment that I would be happy to have at home. Breakfast was cooked to order and was very enjoyable. The dining room and sitting room were well furnished and fitted well with the style of the house. In summary I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and expect to return in future.

i called support level 2 they say to just type zone 2 or zone 3 after the model number... im not sure if that works ... i had them do it... i was able to do it my self in the test drive section of the website. and then convert my testdrive into a real account
I am trying control the volume of Zone 2 (Denon receiver) with my Harmony 890. While I can turn Zone 2 on and off I haven't had any luck being able to control volume or muting. The remote continues to control the main zone.
This is so I can control some outside speakers from outdoors. Any ideas?
Thanks, Uncle B

"talking", 'thinking'
You were helpless to stop Vlad from advancing to your face and giving you a breathtaking kiss, you literally felt the need for oxygen and started to toss and turn your head but it was all in vain. 'A-air need air! God please! Vlad let g-' *BAM!!* You didn't know what happened as you felt the weight on top of you being lifted and your mouth gasping for air. "UUGH! Who the hell are you?! How dare you interrupt us!" "HOW DARE I!? HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO MY DAUGHTER!!" That voice belonged to no other than your dad who by the looks of things has kicked the front door of its hinges and has flipped Vlad of you. 'DEAR GOD WHY!? I ASKED FOR HELP NOT A DEATH WISH'It's not that you hate your that, in fact you were his little princess and you adored him but the man is seriously scary.
To you he was like a big hero in a teddy bear suit but to others who had felt his wrath he looked like the devil himself. Your friends once told you "Your dead is like a combination of a scary Sweden, and furious German, an intimidating Russian, a creepy British and an over protective Switzerland" At that time you didn't get your friend till you learn about the hetaloids a while back, now it seemed it was both your turn and Vlad's to meet the real papa bear. "D-DAD!? W-wha- h-how?" "Don't worry sweaty this won't take long" He quickly started to attack Vlad violently and you were too shocked to stop him. No matter what Vlad did or where he moved your father followed him with his fists. After chasing him all over the house and hearing yells and howls of pain you snapped back to reality to try to help Vlad but what happened next completely caught you off guard.
"(f/n)! Помогите мне!" Vlad ran and hid behind you only to be targeted by your devil of a father. "Keep your dirty hands off my baby or-" "STOP!!" You pushed your dad away from both of you and glared at him. "Dad I appreciate your help but don't break him!" "Break him?!" "Yeah dad he's my new hetaloid and I want him in one piece if you don't mind!" Vlad suddenly wrapped his arms around you and gave you a bone crushing hug. "Я люблю тебя!!" By the sound of his voice you could tell he was very grateful you saved his ass. "вы лежите!!" Your eyes and Vlad's almost felt like they were about to pop out from what your dad just creamed. "W-wait you speak Russian?" "I do now" To tell the truth you don't know whether he really knows Russian or just making up some bull shit like that time he pretended he knew how to speak Italian at a restaurant and got kicked out.
Defending Vlad only made your father hate him even more by the looks of the intensifying glare he was giving him, but your patience was running out fast and you really didn't want to deal his shenanigans. "Don't worry (f/n) I can always get you a newer and better hetaloid than that piece of shit behind you, one that actually treats you the right way and-" The last of your patience snapped liked a twig and without warning you detached yourself from Vlad's arms and grabbed your father by the collar and pulling him down to your level. "Listen dad I'm your dauther but I have my rights and I have the damn right to keep him because I BOUGHT HIM AND I WANT HIM AND NO OTHER! GOT IT!" By now you had your father on him knees bending back as you towered over him menacingly. This scaring both the crap out of your dad and made Vlad raise his respect toward you from being able to win against someone he couldn't.
After you released your father he took a moment to comprehend what had just happened and once he realize what you did he got up and glomped you. "Aaaaw~ My baby is growing up so fast!~ Fine you can keep him but if he give you trouble you can always count on you papa-" "Not likely" Your reply just made matters worse as your father left you and went to a corner to mope 'Oh no… not his emo corner! Damn if I don't do something he'll start acting like a kid and hell to the no I ain't dealing with that shit AGAIN!' You turned around to give an apologetic look to Vlad and then walked to your father's side and placed a hand on his shoulder "*sight* Look it's late and if it make you feel better you can….stay…for t-the night" "Really!? Thank you! I knew you would come around" He gave you a quick hug and left to get some stuff out of his car, leaving both you and Vlad almost crying in desperation 'Great now I want an emo corner…Oh! Vlad I almost forgot him!'
You went to Vlad and took his hand and started to drag him to the bathroom. "(f/n)? What are you doing?" He said as you made him sit down while you took out the first aid kit. "You looked extremely pained and your bleeding so I just want to heal you that's all, besides I didn't know Hetaloids can bleed." "Da we can, were special since we can do things like if we were human, we can even have offspring." You slightly pause your actions in shock from the news 'Wait....IF HE RAPES ME I CAN GET PREGNANT??!!! WHAT THE FREAKING FUCK!!' You suddenly felt Vlad's hands hold your face up to look at him "Don't worry I won't do anything after what happened, I am grateful you didn't want me to be hurt or replaced" "Do you promise?" "Da, я обещаю" Vlad pulled your face forward and passionately kissed you not realizing the door was slightly open and your father saw both of you. "WHAT THE HELL!!! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!" "N-NO! DAD WAIT!!" Shouts could be heard from a mile away as things kept on going like this till everyone fell asleep.

B) Maka's dad ( Forgot his name :/)
A) Tamaki-senpai
B) Maka's dad ( Forgot his name :/)
I am reminded of a mix of Spirit from Soul Eater and Tamaki and Ranka from OHSHC.
... Is Reader's dad modeled after Russia? Cuz I mean, the whole emo-corner thing...
When I read "he was like a big hero in a teddy bear suit", I couldn't help but imagine America in Rilakuma pajamas (the one with the hood attached to it) and I don't know why. XD
I imagined both. Tamaki only came to mind with emo corner part though.
My overly-friendly cat is named Vlad xD
We call him Vlad the Impaler, so people think he's evil, before he starts purring and cuddling them to death.

first a family guy reference then a oran high school host club reference? you are best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that dad is my father in a nutshell
My dad would have done that.
Hell yes death by father.
The dad reminds me of Tamaki-senpai from OHSHC or Haruhi's real dad
Totally now imagine if both Tamaki and Haruhi's dad (with his scruffy ponytail and 5o'clock shadow) team up against 2p Russia lol
I couldn't help but notice that art 3 says ASAP.... and also that this chapter was published like a year ago....
Lol my dad would be the same minus the Russian stuff. He'd kill me too tho >.>'
pfft! My dad would NEVER do this for me! I don't even know where that useless bastard is! This would probably be my best friend Zoe!
yea i agree 100%! mine could care less. it would most likely be my friend donnie coming to rescue me.
I agree with u on that.
This wouldn't be my dad...more like my big brother. XD
He said if I ever got a boyfriend that treated me wrong, he would beat the shit out of them! I love my big brother~!

He reminds me of Haruhi's dad from OHSHC.
Oh no he's in his emo corner again... XD this was mega funny!!
man i wish my dad was at least there for me
mine isnt either but dont worry what dosnt kill ya makes ya stronger. yes i quoted a song but still. in fact what ever the reason he isnt with you this experience will make you a stroger person in the end
thnxs but he got remarried and he didn't even invite me sure i wouldn't have gone anyways but still he should show he cares. he can't even wish me happy birthday,or merry cristmas, or even say he loves me! I HATE MY DAD AND I MEAN IT! he was in jail when i was born, he can't even spell my name right! i wrote to him when he was in prision and all i got was two letters. and "what doesn't kill ya makes a fighter. doesn't mean i'm lonely when i'm alone"
i feel your pain. i absolutely hate my father. he was/is a drug addict and used to beat my mom and sister and i assume me( i was to young to remember). he was in jail a lot and when i was 5 my mom kicked him out and i only visited him a couple of times. my mom remarried but he is a total a**. he may not be physically abusive(all the time) but he is vary verbally abusive. me and my sister seem to be the only ones that are able to see he is a horrible person. everybody els in this family adores him. im forced to call him daddy and my mom thinks that i love him as if he was my real father but as far as im concerned i dont have one.
When my dad was around I had no freedom. I couldn't have friends, no candy,sugar,pop, and I couldn't go to the library or youth group.

The Hoops fans have packed out Parkhead in the Champions League
Thomas Jordan, Sports Writer / / Sport
NEIL LENNON today issued a rallying call to Hoops fans to turn out in their numbers next season.
Despite not having the draw of an Old Firm derby, Celtic supporters have still turned out in force their team canters towards retaining the SPL title.
Around 43,000 season tickets were purchased at the start of the campaign, with the Bhoys playing to sell-out home crowds in the Champions League.
And even though the Dundee win on Sunday attracted 39,959 punters, the Celtic manager was quick to praise the fans' commitment to the cause this term, while asking them to continue that next campaign. He said: "We have 43,000 season ticket holders just now, which compared to a lot of other clubs is huge.
"If we can get anywhere near that for next season, it will be brilliant.
"They are not coming to every game, but they are paying for their tickets.
"I am sure there will be a lot of people questioning if they want to renew their season tickets or not.
"We can't do any more than what we are doing, getting to the last 16 of the Champions League with a squad that was built with not a lot of money.
"We may be able to invest a little bit heavier in the summer and hopefully that will attract a few more people coming to games."
Promoted stories
Thanks to the success of the Hoops' Champions League exploits, the club are on a sound financial footing, with £20million coming into the club over the last year.
The importance of the cash simply cannot be underestimated, as the majority of clubs in Scotland continue to tighten their belts.
"It gives me huge satisfaction," said Lennon, "because of the climate we are in, because of the experience it has given myself and the players.
"You get an enormous amount of pleasure out of it. The club is stable now for the next three or four years and the debts are well manageable.
"I might even get a few quid to spend, although the flip side is that we will lose a couple of players, if not more, during the summer anyway.
"We are financially robust and the majority of that is down to the efforts of the players.
"It is something that is new to me. As a player all you think about is success. But as a manager you have to think about the future of the club and where we will be in three years.
"We are in the midst of a recession and the economic climate in Scottish football is not great, so for us to have the season we have had is fantastic."
Lennon also revealed Scott Brown will sit out Celtic's next run of games, with the skipper potentially set to return for the final few weeks of the season.
He said: "We will have to wait and see whether he requires surgery. If he does then you are looking at four to six weeks.
"That would give him to time to come back and play, but we haven't had the full report back from the specialist."

text: A walk around my PrishtinaI decided to go on a short stroll - what ended up being six hours- around my city Prishtina. After returning to my home country, Kosova, for the summer it's always fun to see what has changed around the city. In addition to a couple of errands that I had to do, visit my uncle's company to pick something up, drop some stuff at a store, I also stopped by at my dad's work. We went to lunch together afterwards at a great cafe, which is located next to his news agency. This cafe has a great spot, is next to the new governmental building - which used to be the former building of the Albanian newspaper Rilindja a decade ago. It's located in the heart of the city and oversees a beautiful green space surrounding the governmental building. It is always great to just sit there, because you are able to rest your eyes and relax, while still listening to the livelihood of the capital. My family often goes there together. At times we meet my dad there for coffee in mid-day. It is a great spot for all ages. And, we really enjoy it.

Click HERE for detailed instructions on how to apply for the clearances needed to coach/train for HVAA. Please send any questions to firstname.lastname@example.com
HVAA soccer intramural programs are open to kids from 4 to 14 years of age as of 9/1 and is played in the fall. The season begins in September and ends in November.
The program divides the kids into 4 leagues;
Micro Soccer: This is a co-ed program for kids ages 4 and 5 and is played on a smaller, modified field with 3 or 4 kids per side. There are no goalies and the sessions are 1 hour on Saturday mornings.
Junior League: For kids ages 6 and 7 and is played 6 a side (6 v 6) with set teams, coaches and referees on a small sided field. Boys and girls play in different leagues with a size 3 soccer ball.
Intermediate League: For kids ages 8,9 and 10 and is played 8 a side (8 v 8) with set teams, coaches and referees on a regulation size field. Boys and girls play in different leagues with a size 4 soccer ball.
Senior League: For kids ages 11 through 14 and is played 9 per side (9 v 9) with set teams, coaches and referees on a regulation size field. Boys and girls play in different leagues with a size 5 soccer ball.
Because of the 4 year age disparity in this league, we suggest that if you are heading into the 9th grade, and are a high school level soccer player (Varsity or JV), to not play in this league.
HVAA depends on volunteer coaches to assist with the running of our sports. With each season, we seek motivated, conscientious volunteers to assist us with the task of coaching our players. The success of the leagues depends on our volunteer coaches and assistants.
HV snAAck shak
The HV snAAck shak is open during soccer season! Stop by and help support HVAA.
Parent and student volunteers are needed to help, please contact Amy Uliano at firstname.lastname@example.com to submit your name as a volunteer. Volunteer students earn school approved community service hours.

"I first met Ali Maadelat at a marketing seminar three years ago and I was completely blown away by his expertise. Suffice it to say that
he is one of the most brilliant marketing minds in the world today
If you want to
skyrocket your profits
jump-start your business
, Ali is the person to talk to.
Contact Ali right away and get access to his incredible knowledge and experience. I promise that your business will
and you will be ecstatic that you did."
NY TImes Best-Selling Author
Business Industry
"Sure, Mr. Maadelat, and his company "The Lorenz Marketing Group" are
truly experts
in the marketing arena.
But who cares… it is RESULTS that I'm after. Fortunately, that is exactly what they deliver.
We have all listened to knowledgable people tell us about what they can do for our businesses… but how often do they deliver? How often do they not only meet our highest expectations, but actually EXCEED them?
Ali Maadelat is one of those rare people that isn't satisfied until they
blow away your expectations and attain what you thought was impossible.
Thank you, Lorenz Marketing Group and specifically Ali Maadelat for opening my eyes and broadening my success."
Chief Executive Officer
Automotive Industry
"Ali is one of those
freakishly brilliant marketing
minds that comes along only once every few years, but whose impact is felt for years to come.
His knowledge and expertise in marketing is unrivaled
and his enthusiasm for every project he handles is contagious.
Do not miss out on the opportunity to work his Ali and his team
Chief Executive Officer

"Hiring the Lorenz Marketing Group was by far one of the
best decisions I have ever made
I immediately noticed a steady increase in the number of customers and within a few weeks
I was getting more business than I EVER thought possible
… even in these hard economic times!
Ali is by far the best marketer out there
, and no business owner should settle for less."
Founder and President

"WOW! I am so glad to have found the Lorenz Marketing Group and to have them on my side instead of the sides of my competitors!
They deliver
above and beyond
the call of duty in everything they do. Not only is the work phenomenal, but they follow through with a level of personal contact that I have not had from
They put their
heart and soul
into the job as if I am their only client— I
never need to worry
about them putting my work off or giving me excuses.
I not only recommend them, I am going to make sure we use them for all of our marketing!"

Cosplay + editing
Chizuru's Geisha version (I call it Geisha because they call it like this in the Anime! I know that some attributes are more like that of an Oiran!) was a lot of work. But it was not sewing the kimonos, it was rather making all the patterns for the Kimonos. I made them with Illustrator and let them be printed by a specialized company. I'm sure that this is one of my most expensive cosplays (.__."") But I really love it so it was worth it. The wig was a big challenge. I never did such a complicated wig before but with the help of some tutorials I manged it more or less. At least the front and the side parts. The back still looks very messy...
This is the second shooting wiht this cosplay. This time I got the right time for shooting with the cherry blossom (^__^). I decided to dress up as much as possible at home because it's easier to do with a large mirror and such.. but I had do drive to the location like that XD Now I'm really happy I did that because everything looks much better dressed now. Also I managed to knot the Obi bow almost perfectly ^^
I love the pictures and I really didn't know which one to upload first since all of them are so beautiful - thanks to AzurBlueDragon.

The kimono is perfect, and the cherry blossom trees really make this photo that much more amazing.
It's obvious this cosplay took a lot of hard work and effort, but it obviously paid off!
Instant fave! (:

Comment Re:Article is a load of rubbish. (Score 2) 153
At least in my state of California, the emissions testing systems I've seen when I get my vehicle tested only place one axle on rollers. The other axle is on the ground. During the test, the driven axle spins at up to 65 MPH, while the non-driven axle doesn't spin at all. If the vehicle being tested has features such as ABS or traction control, then the car needs to know that it's on a tester in order to avoid doing potentially dangerous things.
The problem here is not that the vehicles detect that they're on a tester and perform specific actions, since doing so is a critical engineering requirement. The problem is that they disable emissions controls when they are not on a tester.

Welcome to the Department of Philosophy
The University of Wisconsin–Madison Department of Philosophy is located in Helen C. White Hall, right on the shore of beautiful Lake Mendota and at the heart of the university campus. Its faculty carries on a long and proud tradition of highly acclaimed teaching and research in core areas of philosophy—especially in the philosophy of science and ethics, but also in metaphysics, epistemology, and the history of philosophy. The department attracts nearly two hundred undergraduate majors, and its outstanding Ph.D. program has placed graduates in some of the best departments in the country. Along with its colloquium program, the department regularly hosts conferences and is the home of the annual Wisconsin Metaethics Workshop.
In Memoriam
Claudia F. Card, age 74, passed away peacefully surrounded by family Saturday, Sept. 12, 2015 at Agrace HospiceCare in Fitchburg after a courageous battle with cancer. She was born Sept. 30, 1940 to Walter and Achsah (Falconer) Card. She graduated as Valedictorian from Pardeeville High School in 1958, went on to study at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and graduated in 1962. Claudia attended Harvard University to earn her MA and PhD in Philosophy in 1964 and 1969, respectively.
Claudia is survived by her three brothers Doug (Carolyn) Card, Bruce (Suzanne) Card, John (Kim) Card; nieces and nephews Jason, Melissa, Matt, Ryan, Eric and Ashley; many grandnephews and dear friend Vicky Davion. She was preceded in death by her parents.
Claudia was an Emma Goldman Professor of Philosophy at University of Wisconsin-Madison and taught nearly 50 years. Her accolades are far too numerous to list as evidenced in her lengthy curriculum vitae. She loved traveling, reading, movies, music and women's sports.
Her family is grateful for the amazing caregivers at Agrace HospiceCare and Capitol Lakes; Claudia's incredible CaringBridge network and endless visitors that provided encouragement and joy throughout her illness. She continued to be optimistic and always found a reason to be kind and smile.
Eloquently stated by David Loewenstein, a colleague and friend, there is so much to celebrate about Claudia's life: she was a wonderful, vibrant, witty, generous woman who had a razor-sharp mind and who was a first-class and original scholar of philosophy.
A Celebration of Life will take place Sunday, Oct. 11 from 1:00 – 4:00 pm at the Pyle Center Alumni Lounge located on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus.

Best Brake Pads for 2014? It Could Be Brembo's New Offering
All brake pads produce dust as they wear. However, there are some pad materials that create a less noticeable dust and don't make your wheels look like they're covered in tar. A newer form of friction material, called ceramic composite, creates a light-colored dust that's much less noticeable and is less likely to stick to your wheels.

Racing Technology Available for the Street: StopTech Big Brake Kits
When street cars go to the racetrack, the brakes are often the weakest link. While a street car's brakes usually only need to deliver maximum braking force from high speed on emergency occasions, a car on a racetrack uses maximum braking repeatedly, often with very little time to cool down. Overheated brakes quickly lose stopping power, which can lead to...

The Michelin Xi3 was said to almost equal the Blizzaks on ice and snow but be less squishy on dry and wet pavement, so I went with the Michelin.Shortly after mounting them I drove...

Acer has never made any bones about its displeasure about having to both partner and compete with Microsoft in the Windows 8 tablet market.
If you listen to Microsoft, Windows 8 is not only the greatest operating system ever designed, it's also selling really well.
If you thought Windows 8 would provide refuge from an increasingly malware infested web, think again.
Assuming you're reading this, the world didn't end like the Mayans predicted, even if the inexplicable popularity of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo seemed to be a sure sign of the apocalypse. But we're still here, and in many ways, 2012 was about new beginnings.
The world may not have ended last week, as many doomsayers had feared (or hoped), but the continuing existence of our planet means that the various preview builds of Windows 8 will all expire next month.
Wondering where all the Windows 8 tablets that were supposed to ship before the end of the year are hiding? It seems they've all been bitten by a driver bug, or at least the ones built around Intel's Atom Z2760 processor.
At last week's Dell World conference, the Texas-based PC manufacturer announced its decision to abandon the development of Android smartphones and tablets
It probably does not matter a great deal to those hell bent on avoiding Windows 8 like the plague, but for those who have jumped on the Windows 8 bandwagon with alacrity, the lack
The Internet is a tough place to try and keep a secret, so why bother? Evidently we're not the only ones that feel that way.
While analysts seldom see eye to eye, the diversity of opinions that the Surface RT has managed to inspire among them is fairly remarkable.
Imagine if a car thief walked into a dealership and was handed the keys to a new automobile, no questions asked. That would be too easy, right? Well, that's essentially what Microsoft did with Windows 8 Pro when users went to claim their free copy of the Windows Media Center upgrade.

|Sign up below for 3 FREE Worksheets to experience the fun Right Brain way to teach your kids to Master Math
I am Tom Biesanz, MisterNumbers on Youtube, with millions of views as well as the author of several books including the Right Brain Math book. I have presented to Math Teacher Conventions and presented Inservice and Staff Development Trainings to Schools and School Districts.
This is for you if you are a parent or teacher and your kids struggle with the multiplication tables, math concepts, and more. Help your kids have fun while learning math effectively.
A new School Year is starting. It is important for kids to learn the times tables, important to have a positive attitude and belief that they are capable of learning and liking numbers. Pattern Play Math can help. I also have
FIVE IPHONE APPS and I have temporarily made them all FREE (ENJOY):
Wheel Math Wheel Fun http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wheel-math-wheel-fun/id387151566?mt=8

The Wheel Math apps work on iphone, but not on ipads, the other three work on both iphone and ipad.
What is Possible with Pattern Play Math!
- This visual and structural approach will help your kids master the Times Tables, so crucial to math mastery. Their struggle is often a teaching problem, not a learning problem.

Introducing the NEW RV Sunvent
by Stoett Industries • Now comes also in Black
Finally! A solar RV vent cover so mildew and heat are a thing of the past!
Solar Activate RV Vents
The RV Sunvent is the perfect solution with multiple purposes:
- vent cover to prevent rain from entering
- solar-powered fan to boost venting
Dry Camping Dream
The solar-powered RV fan and vent cover will allow you to keep fresh air in your RV while saving your RV's battery. Just crack a window for inflow air and let the hot, moist air escape through your RV Sunvent cover.
Air Movement Benefits
The RV Sunvent even promotes air movement inside your stored RV or trailer to reduce sweating, mildew, stagnant air, fumes, odors and heat buildup. Great for both RVs and recreational trailers.
Get Rid of Heat!
The RV Sunvent was designed to help boost the effectiveness of your RV's exhaust vents. Whenever the sun is shining, the fans will activate and pull the hot air out of your RV. Super simple.
Get Rid of Fumes!
Not only will the RV Sunvent get rid of heat, but it will also actively get rid of the odors and dangerous fumes that can gather inside trailers. Why suffer from fumes when you can enjoy fresh air?
Easy Installation
Installing a RV Sunvent on your RV or trailer is a simple install that requires a power drill, Phillips screwdriver, pencil and an adjustable wrench. Check out the video below.
