So we introduce a new character with this episode. There isn't any suspense about it since they changed both the OP and ED to include her. Her name is Chisame and she's Yume's classmate in middle school.
Both of them took the entrance exam for this high school and both were accepted. But Chisame is really dark. She sucks the life out of every scene she appears in. The last scene in the OP shows her smiling, so I hope she gets better, but in this episode she seems to be suffering from the world's worst case of depression.
See, she's really little. Short, short, short; when she sits on her dad's motorcycle her feet won't reach the ground. She is also weak and uncoordinated and has always done really badly in sports, but she found herself in motorcycle racing, in a version where the bikes are tiny. There, her small size is an advantage because she doesn't weigh as much as her opponents so she can go faster. So she's been winning, but she's always lonely when she's on the victor's podium.
We were told that she doesn't think motorcycles should be ridden on the street. Actually, it's just that she herself can't do that because she's tiny.
Also, she's flat chested. Shows like this nearly always include a character who suffers from "A-cup angst" and originally I thought it was going to be Onsa but I was wrong. They were saving it for Chisame. (That's a guess; so far she's had other reasons to be depressed.)
I'm pretty sure she rides a Honda PCX. That's a scooter that doesn't really look like a scooter and there's a pretty low spot in the middle she could straddle when stopped so that her legs reach the ground. And it weighs a lot less than a full size bike (like Lime's Ninja) so she should be able to do the "lift".
So will Hane's irrepressible cheerfulness defeat Chisame's depression? If this picture is anything to judge by (and it may not be) then Hane will win. I do hope so; one of the attractions of this series so far has been that no one is angsty. (Not even Rin. She's disgruntled but not angsty.)
There's an interesting link here between Chisame and Lime. 20 years ago (or however long it was) there were two girls who were friends of Lime and made the mistake that led to her catastrophic crash in that race. One of those eventually became the principal of this school. The other one got married and had a daughter that grew up to be Chisame. Seems like that has to be a plot point since if it wasn't there really wouldn't be any reason to include it, but I have no idea what it will mean. Anyway, Chisame's mother knows Lime and seems to know about her.
I have a bad feeling about this. Up to now the show has been very light-hearted but I'm afraid Chisame is going to drag it down into the darkness and make it serious.

Miho's secret weapon!
A torrent for the movie just showed up. It's a raw and the torrent is a whopping 15G. It's three files, one MKV and two MKA files, and it turns out you don't need the MKA files. They're alternate soundtracks; but the MKV has one that works just fine.
It is a BD rip, which surprised me; I didn't think the BD was going to be out until like August.
So how is it? Awesome! Tremendous! It doesn't feel like "been there, done that". It's enough similar to not feel like a stranger but enough different to not feel like a guest that's worn out its welcome. Even though I don't speak Japanese, it wasn't too difficult to figure out what was going on.
There are two major battles in it. The first is about half an hour long, and the trailer from last year is all taken from it. What's going on is an exhibition battle with two teams on each side. One side is St. Gloriana and Pravda; the other side is Ooarai and some team I never identified.
Their tanks were crap and they had spirit but no brains and got themselves slaughtered. I thought for a while that their equipment was Italian, but the theme music played for them sounded oriental. Maybe they were using Japanese tanks? Actually, I think they really were supposed to be another Italian team.
So that battle ended after half an hour, and it was so well done and so absorbing that I thought the movie was over. Instead we get about half an hour of plot, and then a second battle which ran fully an hour.
Huge spoiler:
It's a BD rip, ultra high quality, and it has Japanese subtitles. (Which should be particularly helpful because in a couple of scenes two of the girls from Pravda speak Russian to each other.) I suspect it won't be long before we get an English sub, but you never know.

Steven Hayward has trolled me.
I have to admit that it took me something like 10 seconds before I noticed something really wrong with this picture. Which I guess proves I'm Cis, not Trans, and that I'm old but not dead. (Whew!)

It's a lot more pleasant watching anime stored on a flash drive than it is on my NAS, you know that? The NAS ain't blazingly fast at the best of times, for one thing, and if I stop using it for a few minutes the drive spins down. Which is what it's supposed to do, in order to increase the drive life. It's just annoying because sometimes I try to use it and have to wait ten or so seconds for the drive to spin up again.
Anyway none of those things get in the way when watching from the flash drive. So I decided to go back and rewatch all of Bakuon! this afternoon, in part because I wanted to grab and post all the eye catches. But along the way I spotted something that annoyed me a bit the first time and still annoys me.
OK, this show is a farce, and when you watch a farce you turn up the "suspension of disbelief" dial to 11. I understand that. But it still didn't work in this case.
Some background: Rin's bike is a 400cc Suzuki Katana. There are a range of sizes of bikes sold under the Katana brand name, ranging from 50cc up to 1100cc, as far as I can tell. Part of Rin's character is that she's pretentious. So one day the bike club decide to go out for a touring ride, just because the weather is nice, and Rin decline to join them. She really wants to go but she wants someone to beg her, and no one does. So she follows them and pulls in at the destination shortly after they arrive.
But when accused of following the other girls, she claims she's there for another group. Onsa points out three guys with full-size Katanas and asks if that's them.
Well, she's stuck. So she rolls her bike over to them and says, "Hi, fellow Suzuki riders. Mind if I join you?"
And they snub her. Her bike is too small.
No. Not a chance. I can't buy that. Yes, it was a funny scene but even the rule of funny doesn't excuse this.
There isn't any chance that those guys wouldn't immediately try to hit on a girl that looks like this, especially when she went to them instead of the other way around. Of course, if they had done that it would have been really creepy and this isn't that kind of show.
Oh, well. That's what I get for refusing to turn my brain off. Now, as to the eyecatches, they're all fan service, each featuring a bike which doesn't appear in the show and one of the girls dressed as a race queen. And they all look good. One thing that's nice is that Hane is always with a Honda, Rin with a Suzuki, Onsa with a Yamaha, Hijiri with a Ducati, and Lime with a Kawasaki. So there have been 8 so far and they're all below the fold.more...

A hundred thousand flying foxes have invaded the town of Batesmans Bay, south of Sydney.
The article says they're a threatened species so the authorities can't kill them. It would be stupid to kill them anyway; they're major insectivores and taking that many out of the ecosystem would have significant consequences. (Kind of like the farmers who shoot all the hawks and then complain about being overrun by rodents.)
So the authorities are going to have to come up with a way to scare them away. I wonder how the bats feel about firecrackers?

I really like Nanoha Vivid. I liked the anime and I like the manga, but it looks like most of the rest of the world doesn't agree.
The anime stopped in the middle of the story (right after Einhart and Corona fought in the tournament) and clearly was intended to be the first half of a split-cour series. But they didn't release it on BD, which is a very, very bad sign and there's no indication whatever of another cour coming in future. I think it's dead.
As to the manga, that's still ongoing. Chapters come out once a month, and a circle called "Vivid Translation" has been working fitfully on it -- or not, as the case may be. The most recent chapter they've translated is #62 and that was in January.
They just posted an explanation and said they haven't given up. The art cleaner is dropping out, or may as a practical matter have dropped out months ago. They just faced reality and recruited someone new, so maybe we'll start getting chapters again. That's what they're saying. But they've been saying that for months now without delivering.
I sure hope they mean it this time; I want to know what's happening with Ixy.
I also want to know why Corona had to fight Tao in the middle of a limestone cave. And who the blonde chick is who stole Sacred Heart and forced Vivio to fight without it, and why. And a bunch of other things.
Volumes have been released about twice a year, and the most recent volume (#16) came out in April. It begins with chapter 78 and probably contains 5 chapters. But we don't know because no one seems to think it worth scanning and posting anywhere I've found, and I've looked.
I understand that they're volunteers and at best crabbing at them would be counterproductive. They owe me as much as I'm paying them, which is to say "nothing". But it's frustrating, especially because they put together a "B-team" who have been translating other titles from the Nanoha manga canon and making lots of progress doing so.
If I had a choice, I'd prefer lower-quality output from a B-team to nothing at all, but that apparently isn't how they feel. It's a shame.

So my order to NewEgg was for two flash disks and two cans of compressed air "dusters", and as always seems to be the case Newegg divided them into two orders and shipped from two locations.
The flash disks shipped from Oakland by Fedex overnight, and Fedex tracking says they're at the Portland sort facility and on track to deliver today "before 8 PM".
The dusters shipped from Tukwila, WA by UPS overnight, and UPS tracking says it's in Portand and on track to deliver "by end of day".
So who will win the race, Fedex or UPS? Stay tuned...
UPDATE: AND THEY'RE OFF! UPS tracking shows "Out for delivery" as of 0701.
UPDATE: Fedex shows the package at Lake Oswego as of 0817.
UPDATE: Starting from the pit lane, Fedex now reports the package on a truck out for delivery at 0852.
UPDATE: And there's the checkered flag! 1220 Fedex wins. Now to see how well these memory sticks work.
UPDATE: I might have known; like all mass storage makers, they're using 109 as a "gig" instead of 230. Windows says 468G.
UPDATE: And a 22G transfer went at 33 MB/s, compared to about 12 MB/s for the USB2 drives. I think we have a winner here.
UPDATE: And UPS limps across the finish line at 1320. And now I can go take a nap, thank goodness, because I really need one.

I'm really looking forward to this:
Lime is really getting into it, baby!
It might be in the next episode, but it's probably the one after that.

"J-Pop Idol Mayu Tomita Stabbed by Fan in Tokyo"
He stabbed her 20 times, including once in the neck. The only reason she didn't die immediately is that he was using a pocket knife. But there isn't anything else good about it. Depending on what he hit in her neck, it may be impossible for her to fully recover. With that many wounds it may be impossible anyway, and even if she can it'll take a long time.
Anyway, according to the report she hasn't regained consciousness, which is never a good sign.
(Note: there are apparently two idols with this name. This isn't the one who is in AKB48; this is the one who starred in the show "Secret Girls".)
UPDATE: Of course, there isn't anything new about rabid fans; ask John Lennon or Jodi Foster. But it's still sad when it happens.

Hey, just a suggestion, but when posting "Cyclones host Obscure team" and the like, could you include what sport it is? "Cyclone swimming hosts UNO" or something? Just so I know I'm clicking on a soccer, swimming or softball link?
John Walters is my hero
You don't have the schedule of every sport memorized? And you call yourself a fan...

text: This is my second season racing (I started late May of 2009), and am 16 points into the 4's after upgrading in October. I've got a pretty solid sprint that keeps me consistently in the top 1-5 during crits, and enough overall fitness to keep with the front group on any serious road race. I'm considering upgrading to the 3's (another 4 points is just around the corner), but am concerned it may be premature. There are about 10 active riders on my team in the 4's with me, but virtually zero 3's. Should I stay in the 4's and have fun tearing ******** until I'm forced to upgrade, or just man-up and race the 3's alone? Which course of action would be the best learning experience?

There's a total of 5 Comics you must beat:
Total = 11 levels to complete
Once you've completed CS #23, Nanoc (all Issues), Paper Pals (all Issues) and Kid Cupids (all Volumes), all the Villians you've faced throughout them (except Benny) will now be within your base! From there talk to everyone (Including Gerda but leave Winklemeyer) and you'll ask them to be in your Comic relaunch (CS #00)! You'll pay them off ($100) and you can then head back to the Comic Jumper and start CS #00. Complete this newer/extended version of CS #23 and you'll unlock this achievement when your end score is shown.
|Pressed X a lot
|Earn some cash by talking to people in the base.
As soon as you've completed CS #23 and the cutscene ends, you'll be back in your base. This area is where you can talk to people, upgrade, get new missions and check your stats among other things. All you have to do is walk around your base and find characters from the Comics and certain objects. Go up to them and press to talk or interact with them. Once the scene ends you'll be handed some cash. You should be able to get this after the first Nonac Issue.
|Collection of a True Fan
|Spend your hard-earned money and buy all the unlockables from Dr. Winklemeyer.
I recommend you buy the Bonus Material stuff first as you start to get Score Multipliers which increase your score and money at the end of an Issue. See the Breakdown in the Road Map for more information. You earn cash by playing through the Comics, completing Challenges, talking to people and interacting with objects around your base. You buy Upgrades and Bonus Material from Winklemeyer and he can be found inside your base in the next room from Gerda and to the right.

Concept Art
Audio Clips
Once you have bought the last Bonus Material and exited the screen, the achievement will unlock.

|Violence Solves Everything
|Fire 125,000 total shots.
You wont get this on your first playthrough. You'll have to go back and do a 2nd playthrough and/or do the Challenges to rack up the bullet count. I suggest you constantly hold down the button as you play to speed this process along. One playthrough doing this will net you around 50-70k bullets fired depending on deaths, etc!
The best way to get this achievement is to do the rubber band trick. You'll get about 7-10k worth of bullets in about 1 hour or less.
If you want to see how many shots you've fired, just head to the Stats computer which is in the same room as Gerda to the right.
|Eugene's Protégé
|Play every reaction sequence mistake-free.
These are the QTE's (Quick Time Events) that pop every once and a while throughout the game. The first one you come across is on CS #23.
The camera will change its angle and the buttons () will pop up on screen. Make sure you hit everyone without making a mistake. They're not all that difficult but if you do miss one by mistake just come back to that Comic Issue later and replay it.
There are a total of 3 QTE's in the game: CS #23, Nonac Issue #286 and CS #00. The achievement will unlock when your score is shown at the end of the last comic.
|He Ain't Even Married
|Survive a specific section without getting hit.
Benny starts with over 800K Health.
Ths fastest and best way to beat him is to use all 3 of your TP Help moves. Make sure you have 3 to use before the fight starts and that you have full HP. If you don't have full HP, just die as the fight starts and you'll spawn right at the beginning of the boss fight again.
Now onto the fight. Use the first TP Help move just before you trigger the falling section of the fight. Then use your second when he is down to about 350k HP during the falling part. Then as soon as you land hold right to run away and use your 3rd.
He'll either die right there or have less than 2k HP, it all depends on when you use the powers. Either way its the fastest and best way to kill him without having to really fight him!
|Shut Star Up
|Let your feelings guide you.
At the end of CS #23 & #00, you and Star will have a little arguement. During this you'll punch him and then he'll bite your hand. When this happens, you can press to punch him. Do this 15 times and the achievement will unlock.
If you missed it, just come back and replay these Issues.

Devil's Due Publishing Partners with Capcom
Written Thursday, May 15, 2008 By Alan PettitView author's profile
A news post about comic books from the site comic book nerd? Fancy that.
Devil's Due is a very good independent publishers, currently with rights to a few fairly big names including G.I. Joe, Family Guy, Chucky and Halloween. They've also got quite a bit of seriously nerd-core stuff like Forgotten Realms, Demonwars and D&D. However, with this pairing, they will be putting out at least Lost Planet and Bionic Commando comics, as well as two unconfirmed titles. I'm guessing Street Fighter will be one (considering publisher Udon has only put out 6 issues in over two years, last of which dropped in early '07 - that most likely lost them the rights) and hopefully something a little more unique like Dead Rising.
Edit: Thanks to BigApple for alerting me about Udon still holding the rights to Street Fighter, so I guess that won't be one of them. I usually went to capcomcomics.com for their news which hasn't had an update since Nov '07, but Udon's main blog has been updated to reveal a Chun-Li mini-series, as well as a follow-up to the 6-issue Street Fighter II series with Street Fighter III: New Generation coming sometime this year. Good news for me, I enjoyed their stuff and their art style fits it perfectly, which is obviously why they are working on the XBLA port of SSF2:THDR. But that really has nothing to do with this Devil's Due/Capcom partnership, so I'll shut up now.
Here's the official announcement:
"This year, one of the biggest names in cutting-edge action comics will team with one of the most respected publishers and developers of video games, as Devil's Due announces a new publishing deal with Capcom®. As part of an expansive package, Devil's Due will launch four new titles based on Capcom game properties, including Bionic Commando® and Lost Planet™.
"DDP is very excited to be joining forces with Capcom," said DDP President Josh Blaylock. "Not only are these awesome games, but they have great stories behind them ripe for comics, including a vintage classic with Bionic Commando that's been revived along with the new sequel."
Already a leader in comic books featuring prominent pop culture icons, Devil's Due heads into Summer 2008 with a rapidly swelling library of new adapted and original titles.
"Devil's Due is a very passionate and creative comic publisher," said Germaine Gioia, senior vice president, licensing, Capcom Entertainment. "We are thrilled to be working with DDP to begin evolving some of our highest profile videogame properties in other media."
More details about Devil's Due's plans for Bionic Commando, Lost Planet, and other new Capcom books will be announced at July's San Diego Comic-Con."

Effect of Music Therapy on the Anxiety Levels and Sleep Patterns of Abused Women in Shelters
Hernández-Ruiz, Eugenia, Journal of Music Therapy
The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of a music therapy procedure (music listening paired with progressive muscle relaxation) on the reduction of anxiety and improvement of sleep patterns in abused women in shelters. Twenty-eight women residing in 2 domestic violence shelters in a Midwestern city met with the researcher on 5 consecutive days for half-hour sessions. A pretest-posttest design with control and experimental groups was used. The dependent variables included: stait anxiety measured by the STAI (Spielberger et al., 1983) before and after each music stimulus, sleep quality as measured by the PSQI (Buysse et al., 1989) on the first and last sessions, and levels of fatigue as measured by the Fatigue Scale (Lee, 1992) at waking time. The independent variable was a 20-minute recording of participant-selected music with a Progressive Muscle Relaxation script. Results indicated that music therapy constituted an effective method for reducing anxiety levels. Results also indicated a significant effect on sleep quality for the experimental group, but not for the control group. No significant relationships were found between anxiety levels and sleep quality, nor fatigue levels and sleep quality. These results seem promising in the light of domestic violence research, which has found that a greater amount of personal resources is a crucial aspect of abused women's recovery process. Reduction of anxiety and improvement of sleep quality can be considered as increased personal resources, and seem feasible through the use of music therapy.
Domestic violence affects 22.1% of women in the United States during their lifetimes (National Violence against Women Survey, U.S. Dept. of Justice, 200Oa). The most recent surveys indicate that 64% of the violence against women is perpetrated by an intimate partner (U.S. Department of Justice, 200Ob). Moreover, women are twice as likely as men to be injured during such assaults (41.5% injured women, compared to 19.9% men). Many different organizations have been created to address this problem, shelters being the most common of them (Chalk & King, 1998). Shelters provide a period of safe housing and support services for women and children, all which are crucial for violence-free, independent living (Johnson, Crowley, & Sigler, 1992.)
However, the time in a shelter is not an easy one for a battered woman. Most sheltered women have overwhelming challenges such as having a lower socioeconomic status (Browne & Bassuk, 1997; Campbell, Sullivan, & Davidson II, 1995; Chalk & King, 1998; Sutherland, Bybee, & Sullivan, 2002), filing for legal action, finding ajob and a place to live, dealing with injuries, illness and confusing feelings (Stephens & McDonald, 2000), which puts them at higher risk of returning to an abusive relationship. Furthermore, many have one or two children under their care, for whom they have to provide safety, financial protection, and emotional support. They have three- to four-times the risk, if found, of being assaulted by their partner (U.S. Dept. of Justice, 200Ob). Yet, in this time of turmoil, they are asked to make the most rational, life-changing decisions they have probably ever made.
A puzzling aspect for women's advocates and researchers of domestic violence is the fact that many of the abused women will stay with their abuser or return to him, even after residing in a shelter (Hubert & Hubert, 1984; Johnson, Crowley, & Sigler, 1992; Martin et al., 2000; Reidy & Von Korff, 1991; Snyder & Scheer, 1981; Strube & Barbour, 1983). Several authors (Berck, Newton, & Berck, 1986; Choice & Lamke, 1997; Martin et al., 2000) found that economic dependence, perceived absence of social support, commitment to the relationship and lack of power were related to a woman's decision to stay. On the other hand, factors supporting the decision to leave the batterer included: the woman being older, higher frequency of abuse, the presence of the women's income, and a longer shelter stay (Hubert & Hubert, 1984). …

The Bachelorette
Bachelor Nation Reacts to Andi's Season 10 Premiere, Hates Long Hair
Tonight's premiere of Andi Dorfman's stint as Bachelorette didn't come with too much over the top drama, but it did come with a lot of hugging, y'alls, weird moments, and hair. Andi told about 21 of her 25 contestants that "she's a hugger," and two of her man friends showed up with identical blonde bobs. And oh yeah, Chris Bukowski tried to crash the party, showing up at security with some long-stemmed roses, but Andi didn't let him in.
Andi's guys also went over and above to make a memorable impression, with one contestant bringing her a lamp ostensibly stolen from his hotel, and another bringing her some pants he had made out of some colorful paisley cloth. (We're being really, really nice with that description.)
And when the final rose was doled out, several of the men cut (mostly of the long-haired variety) ranted their disappointment to the camera in fairly churlish fashion. One guy mentioned he had nothing to go home to, with another revealing he was heading home to mom and dad. Sheesh, we're sure Andi regrets letting the pair of you go.
We loved tonight's episode, but what we love even more is our Bachelor Nation family that tweets their opinions out during the show. So without further ado, here's a roundup of some of our favorite tweets during tonight's show.

HP B9180 Squeaks when printing

HP B9180 Squeaks when printing
My B9180 emits a loud squeak, similar to an unlubricated door hinge sound, when it is printing. To anyone with mechanical sympathy it is not a good sound! I do not think it is the head moving back and forward along the stainless bar as that looks good and has a smear of light grease. I did try one drop of light oil on the stainless bar to no avail. Printing quality does not appear to be affected at this stage. Any ideas would be much appreciated. HP want me to purchase another printer at a discounted rate and return mine to them as mine is out of warranty.
Apart from this problem the printer has been great with excellent results.

UK stock closing: London's top shares closed lower on Thursday as downbeat company earnings and mixed global economic data triggered the sharpest one-day fall on the FTSE 100 since mid-November.
Earnings were in focus after updates from British oil heavyweight Royal Dutch Shell and drugmaker AstraZeneca, and Facebook Inc in the United States, disappointed. Shell alone took 16 points off the blue chip FTSE 100 index after its fourth quarter profit came in nearly $400 million short of expectations.
The FTSE closed down 46.23 points, or 0.7 percent at 6,276.88, edging away from mid-May 2008 highs of 6,376. AstraZeneca shed 3.1 percent after warning of a tough year ahead, while in the United States No.1 social network Facebook fell 3.8 percent after its growth trailed the more aggressive estimates.
Temporary power provider Aggreko took its losses over the last five trading days to more than 11 percent, with traders citing recent press speculation about the potential for another warning on earnings when it reports in March. British banks meanwhile face another round of compensation claims that could total billions of pounds after the regulator found they had widely mis-sold complex interest-rate hedging products to small businesses.
Royal Bank of Scotland shed 1.1 percent.
Retailer Kingfisher fell 1.5 percent after Nomura cut its target price and earnings estimates by 6 percent on the firm as it took a more pessimistic view of the UK market.
Recent results have put a dampener on investor optimism, which helped push markets up towards four-and-a-half year highs.
While 70 percent of European companies have so far beaten or met earnings estimates in the current reporting season, top analysts still expect fourth-quarter growth to fall 8.8 percent year-on-year. After rallying 6 percent in January, Shore Capital strategist Gerard Lane said the FTSE looked "way too high given the near-term risks to earnings and the U.S. fiscal worries". "However, I still think the FTSE 100 will see 7,000 by the year-end and if you are a smart investor you invest for the 7,000 now rather than wait for a correction that might never happen," he added. EQUITY DEMAND British investment managers sharply increased their exposure to stocks in January as concerns of more

The whole thing looks really nice, I like the custom tiles everywhere and the greenery is placed very naturally for a small town. The only problem I have is with the building at the bottom right, it doesn't seem like it's being viewed from the same angle, like how the other houses you can see the tops of them at an angle, while this building you seem to be looking at head-on. Other than that, great map! 8/10
My map:
name: Pallet Town
game: FR
notes: I'm not trying to base this off of any kind of animated version/realistic depiction of Pallet Town, I just like the idea of having maps that are much bigger than their original size, while still being similar to the original in the game.
The player's house is on the top left, the two top right houses are Blue's and Red's, along with Oak's lab in the corner.

We don't usually put too much stock in what one of those carrier customer service robots (aka "live chat representatives" or some dude on the other side of the planet) tells us, but what the heck. We're feeling optimistic this week. Jon tipped us that he was told to expect the Nexus One to be available for Sprint "around the latter part of April. Whether that actually ends up being the case? Place your bets now. Thanks, Jon!

Sprint customer service robot (erm, chat person) says Nexus One in late April
what are you talking about verizonwireless has chat live feature and there getting the nexus one with a plan feature in the spring how is t his even an issue? besides sprint has been loosing customers faster than there gaining them Rememeber Sprint Roams on Verizons network for free. think before you bitch
Yeah, gotta be careful with loosing customers. Better keep a stronger grip! There defiantly loosing them way to fast. Also, speeling and grammer aren't important.
Really though, if this is true, I can't wait. I have no idea how I'm going to make it to the end of April. I want my Nexus One now. :(
The only thing I b%tching about is that fact that Verizon itself has released absolutely nothing or even acknowledges that they will even get the Nexus One. Sprint has released a press statement, and even though the CS rep could be full of crap, they acknowledged it and gave a time line. I'm not leaving Sprint because they are cheaper and they at least gave us a little bit of acknowledgement about upcoming phones, nothing to do with their live chat, loosing customers or who's network is better.
I'm torn between going EVO or N1. I have a Hero now, and came from the Moment, and I like a lot of things about both Sense and Vanilla. I'm leaning more towards the EVO now that I know officials on it, but I want to make sure I have all the functionality of Vanilla, with the Sense features thrown on top.
I suppose I could throw a 2.1 Sense ROM on the N1 when it's officially released (relatively) bug-free, but I'd rather have a phone optimized for Sense if that's how I choose to roll. :/
I'm just so torn!!! I was always told good things come to those who wait, which gives me more reservation about hopping on the N1 as soon as it's available, instead of holding out for the EVO (whenever that is).
Based on the current scarcity of information, I'm inclined to go for the N1 initially, then eBay it for the Evo when 4G is activated in my area. Los Angeles, which I live, was added to the 4G roadmap for 2010 at the last minute, so I'm thinking it will be the fall until we actually get 4G. I'd like to stay off-contract unless 4G service requires new provisioning.
As far as Sense, I'm the opposite. I'd much rather have a stock Android experience than deal with the overhead of Sense, which gives me another reason to wait. I expect that by the time 4G is up and running in LA, Cyanogen will have a clean ROM available for the Evo.
Gawd, I hope April is true. I just sold me Hero cuz I couldn't stand HTC's Sense UI, plus the Hero was so slow. I'm hoping the N1 will be an improvement over the Hero. I should've never left the iPhone.
Am I right in assuming that you'd have to order the N1 with an individual plan, rather than as an extension of the family plan? I'm due for an upgrade in June, and it makes no sense to open an additional line.
If that's the case, then I'll lean toward the EVO, even though I would kind of prefer the N1 (the EVO looks quite a bit bigger).
I am totally taking the N1 over the Evo.Currently have the Hero with the sense disabled. Seems to slow down the phone. Evo is just to big for me.
All the displays at the Sprint store say "good until April 17", etc...so I imagine that is when they are going to do a re-pricing of their products. I know the Sprint-Nexus-One won't be through the "sprint stores", but it still seems like a sensible coordinated time to release new products, like the Nexus One. So that is my guess...April 17+/-. One month after announcement.


text: Posted 22 Aug 2011 Hi all, I'm planning to attend Anime USA this fall for the first time. But I'm not sure I can commit to pre-reg since I'll need to sort out work and grad school (its my first semester) at the time of the con. I know they have at-door rates for two days or just one which might be a better option for me. They haven't released the at-door prices on the site but I was wondering if someone here knows what the rate has been in past years to give me an idea of what it might be. Thanks!

Fun, casual scramble with a straightforward approach! I felt a little sandbagged on the Green Lake descent though. There is required 2000+ ft of heinous, unconsolidated boulder hopping on the final slope down to Green Lake (pic below). I recommend taking the chute on the way back.

Edit Article
How to Make a Guy with Freckles and Red Hair Look Hot
Looking hot isn't about what physical attributes you do or don't have. It's about your attitude and the "je ne sais quoi" as the French would say that makes someone hot. Charisma, baby! Just hope your ginger has charisma.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Start with your head. Not head of hair, babes... Your mental state. Decide if you are going to see your red hair and freckles as hot or not. If you own your assets and love them, others will too!
2Work your angle. Only 1-2% of people are born with red hair. You have the natural advantage of making a statement.
3Check out magazines and fashion articles with pictures of hairstyles and clothes. Pick looks you like and mimic them with your own touches. If you've never done it before, mimic the looks really closely until you get the hang of it. Then work into taking a look, using it as inspiration and make up your own version.
4As a fair skinned red head, certain colors may or may not look good on you. Be conscious of that. Ask sales people and hair stylists to weigh in on your ideas. Ask people whose job is to consider colors to help you build a palette of clothing colors that you can rely on to make you look your best.
5Make sure your haircut is always fresh and groomed as well as the rest of you. No nasal or ear hair! Keep eyebrows above your eyes and not your nose! Shave once in a while or groom your beard if you have one.
6Take care of that tender skin! Wear your high SPF sun block and forget about getting a tan. It's stupid to fight your natural fairness. Wrinkles, sun damage, skin cancer... Not attractive. Enjoy the beach and the sun, but keep yourself looking 10 years younger than your sunning counterparts.
7Colours to wear: Grey's & Greens. If you have blue eyes you can do blue. Earth-tones (warm) are best in my opinion, and purple is a great defuser.
8If you have some freckles that you despise you can get them zapped away with a laser. It does not hurt- it feels like you are holding a "sparkler", when it is all done, if you had a lot done it may feel like a slight sun-burn for 10 minutes. (use ice on it). You will have dark spots where you were zapped for a few days, depending on how deep the freckles were. Then it rises to the surface of your skin and flakes-off. The only bad news is that freckles can come back. Not in the exact same place, but it seems your body will try to balance-out the melanin. (so stay out of the direct sun light and use good sun-screen). A good laser Dr. in New Jersey and New York City is Dr. Chasin. https://www.reflectionscenter.com/treatments/q-switchedlasers-new-jersey/
9Know that some Great Men in History were redheads (yet American media has changed their hair colour as they feel they can't have a redhead hero). Thor, Erik the Red, William Wallace ('Braveheart'), Robyn Hood, Rob 'Roy' MacGregor, Lief Erikson, Galileo Galilei, Charles Darwin, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Antonio Vivaldi, Mark Twain, Vincent Van Gogh, James Joyce, ...also Redd Foxx, Malcolm X, Ginger Baker Woody Allen Ron Howard Chuck Norris Eric Idle John Waite Thomas Bailey (Thompson twins) Eric Stoltz Courtney Gaines Danny Elfman Scott Grimes ('Critters') Mick Hucknall ('Simply Red') Sinbad (David Adkins) David Caruso Dave Mustaine (of MegaDeth) Conan O'Brien Mark McGuire Josh Homme III ('Queens of the stone age') Trey Anastasio (Phish), Shaun White Glenn Hansard Damian Lewis Prince Harry Tim Minchin Steve Hofstetter Saul "Canelo" Alvarez... the list goes on.
10Red marks and such usually show-up more on a redheads face - using a little bit of make-up can really help. If you get red marks on the immediate sides of your nose, a little foundation make-up or your skin tone powder will even it out.
11Be confident in who you are. The confidence goes a long way - even if/when others act like they do not see it. If you know you are correct or at least not doing anything bad, carry that bravado upon you. It 'is' difficult being a red haired male, especially in the u.s. where the media programs everyone to think that you are gay/the bully/the weakest one/the annoying psycho/or 2nd fiddle to the dark haired hero. (ect)
12Many Men find a shorter hair cut (very short) is best for them-red-selves, but to have long red hair is something very cool. Think Vikings, Scotland, Ireland, Scandinavia, ... and I never liked him, but Axel Rose looked good with the straight long red hair in a pony tail. See also the tv show, "Outlander".
13Stay in great shape. Dress well. Wear fantastic socks.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- remember that a lot of girls find red heads hot
- Keep fit, get a hot bod.
- keep up on current styles.
- Relate to hotties like Prince Harry [a role model to redheaded people everywhere!]
- Don't become cocky after you implement all these steps to become hot and women and/or men are throwing themselves at you!

Put an old netbook to good use
Second Life
Death, taxes, and hardware obsolescence are all inevitable, but at least you can mitigate the latter by squeezing more productive use from older desktop machines, notebooks, and netbooks.
With the use of a lightweight or specialized Linux distribution, you can easily turn an old desktop machine into a versatile headless server that runs on your local network. But what about notebooks and netbooks? With the right mix of Linux software, you can put them to several practical uses. In this article, I provide a few starting points and ideas that can help give your trusty old netbook (or notebook) a new lease on life.

Top films and television shows that inspire cosplay
As the Official Twilight Convention swings into town this weekend, fans will presumably bust out their best vampire costumes. Events scheduled include Twilight karaoke, a vampire masquerade ball, and other activities that encourage participants to don costumes.
And while the series doesn't really lend itself to strong cosplay, a.k.a. costume role playing, many other popular television shows and movies do. We've put together a top list of pop-culture phenomenons that have inspired awesome looks by fans--or are really popular at least. Some are classics, others more obscure, some very new. Take a look after the jump.
Harry Potter
There are pros and cons to dressing up Harry Potter style. First, anyone with a blazer, pleated skirt, and rounded glasses can do it. You also won't freeze or be forced to dress overly sexy to get the look. You don't need makeup, unless you want to do the lightening bolt scar. It's an ideal costume for a cool weather occasion, but you won't necessarily amaze people with your look the way that costumes from other genres can.
Star Wars
This series offers a variety of looks for every body shape. Ladies can sex it up with the "slave Leia" look, go for comfort with the buns and flowy white dress, or show off their flair for drama with full-out Queen Amidala. A jedi in training can get the look easily with a beige bathrobe and some leggings and a plastic light saber. Dudes willing to make an investment can rock a Darth Vader suit or storm trooper costume, or go simple with a Hans Solo black vest, black jeans, and toy gun.
Star Trek
Of all the cosplay looks out there, this is one of the more classic ones. Rock the Enterprise's mod work wear with some cool boots and retro '50s hair, or go goth and glue a klingon forehead on. Either way, no one will ask "Who are you supposed to be?" when you show up at the GenCon dance party.
Needless to say, this one requires A LOT of blue body paint. Although we appreciate the enthusiasm and overall effect, we shudder to think what your bathtub and sink looks like after a day of rocking this look. Buy lots of cold cream for makeup removal.
The Big Lebowski
This might seem like one of the easiest of flicks to emulate, but it's more difficult than one might presume. Although the greasy hair, bathrobe, and flip-flops look of the Dude is an easy one to cop, Jesus the bowling pedophile, avant-garde artist Maude, and the Nihilists take a lot more commitment in order to work.
Sailor Moon
Who doesn't love crossing the super-hero aesthetic with a Japanese school girl outfit? Add in some wild hairdos and enough characters to go around for each of your girlfriends, and you have a good time. Added bonus: If you have a boyfriend who is reluctant to dress up, this is an easy one. Throw on a mask and give him a rose, and voila, you have Tuxedo Mask.
Venture Bros.
This popular cartoon allows for tons of looks for the guys, from leotards with butterfly wings to pale pink jump suits. But ladies who love the Venture Bros. have to commit to showing skin. Choose between Dr. Mrs. The Monarch or Molotov Cocktease. Double-sided tap is mandatory.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Unless you are rocking the Janet or Brad look, Rocky Horror is an equal opportunity flick for sexy costumes. Whether you're a lad or a lady, you're probably not going to be wearing much clothing. For guys that have longed to rock a gold bikini bottom, or a corset and heels, this fandom is for you. Ladies can have fun with pink hair color, tap shoes, and top hats.

Excellent Machine!!
This review is from: ASUS Desktop PC BM1AE-I7477S008B Intel Core i7 4770S (3.10 GHz) 4 GB DDR3 1 TB HDD Windows 7 Pro 64 bit / Windows 8 Pro 64 Bit
Pros: Excellent machine. Stable and quick to load and run. Running Revit 2014 and after adding memory and video card, it runs great. I now have other users in my office that want one also.
Cons: The power button is on top of the case. I had to change the operation of the button so I do not shut it off accidentally. Also, the hard drive is not up to the rest of the machine, but for $120 or so, you can upgrade to an SSD drive.
Other Thoughts: This machine comes with ONE 4GB memory stick, but that is easy to improve. There is an extensive manual loaded on the computer, but if you could not get it to run, that might be a problem. I am going to get an SSD and really improve the speed, but otherwise no problems. Everything is as advertised.

Configuration Management
This is the application configuration helper module you've always dreamed of. It's goal is to be declaritive and environmental which makes for easier development and testing.
Basic Example
var Config = require'config'var sampleConfig = 'path/to/configs/'// will open path/to/configs/development.json sampleConfigget'real.setting.no1'
You can also specify a different environment
var sampleConfig = 'path/to/configs/' 'demo'// will now open path/to/configs/demo.json
Strict mode
var sampleConfig = 'path/to/configs/' undefined true sampleConfigget'fake.setting'// throws configuration setting missing error!
One of the main reasons I wrote
Config is because default configuration settings are annoying! The code that requires configuration should know ahead of time what to do. With
Config you can declare what the default should be, and it will fall back to it if your config.json doesn't say otherwise.
var foo = sampleConfigget'non.existent.setting' 'I am a default'console.logfoo// 'I am a default'

What is in this article?:
- Russian wheat prices need to go higher
- Covered by stocks on hand
- If the domestic wheat market wants to avoid shortages, then the only option is for Russian wheat prices to rise until they reach parity with competing supplies on the world market.
Covered by stocks on hand
Some of this 12.7 MMT shortfall will be covered by stocks on hand. At the beginning of 2012/13, Russia had 10.4 MMT of wheat in stocks, 5.0 MMT of which were held in government-controlled intervention stocks.
The USDA is currently predicting that 4.0 MMT of these stocks will be used to make up for the shortfall in production. It is possible this number could go higher, but there are sure to be consequences, such as higher prices, for drawing down ending stocks too low.
Imports are another option to make up for part of the shortfall.
USDA currently estimates Russia will import 0.5 MMT of wheat this marketing year, while the Institute for Agricultural Market Studies (IKAR) estimates that imports could reach as high as 2.5 MMT.
However, production in Ukraine and Kazakhstan, the two closest sources of imported wheat for Russia, has been hit by the same drought that damaged Russia's own crop. Wheat production in Ukraine is expected to fall 29.9 percent lower than last year. Production in Kazakhstan is expected to fall 53.8 percent, but Kazakhstan will export some wheat this year.
Whatever portion of the expected shortfall that cannot be met by stocks and imports will have to be brought north from the export-oriented Southern district.
SovEcon currently estimates the Southern district will produce 15.2 MMT of wheat.
If USDA estimates for stocks usage and imports turn out to be correct, then 8.2 MMT of this production will have to be moved north to avoid a shortage in the domestic market.
SovEcon is estimating that Russian grain traders have already exported 4.6 MMT of wheat in the first three months of the 2012/13, 60.0 percent of the USDA estimate of 8.0 MMT for the entire marketing year.
If the domestic market wants to avoid shortages, and the Russian government holds to its promise of not implementing grain export restrictions, then the only option is for Russian wheat prices to rise until they reach parity with competing supplies on the world market.

A collision between a shrimp boat and a catamaran Tuesday morning caused the shrimp boat to sink out in the Atlantic off Cape Hatteras.
Four people on the 67-foot Tina Rae were rescued by the Locura after the two collided around 3:00 a.m. near Diamond Shoals.
The Coast Guard says the Locura was damaged in the collision, but was able to proceed on its own power.
The cause of the collision is under investigation.
