Kukla's Korner Hockey
Avoid The Sharks
by Paul on 04/07/06 at 02:34 PM ET
Comments (0)
The San Jose Sharks' climb back has been long and arduous, even after the benevolent Boston Bruins provided a huge shove of help from behind on Nov. 30. Only 8-12-4 at the time of the deal that brought Joe Thornton to San Jose, the Sharks finally seemed poised not only to secure a playoff spot but to be a bona fide threat to come out of the Western Conference. Actually, maybe it's something in the California water supply. The Sharks join the Mighty Ducks as the fast-closing West teams who fall under that time-honored heading: Teams You Want To Avoid In The First Round.continued

Thank you Bill! We are having a nice relaxing time. DH is off in Brugge now on his own. I'll get my turn tomorrow. We've had our kids on the road in Europe for over 5 weeks and they have had it with sight-seeing. I guess I can't blame them. I'm hoping we'll be off to Gent tomorrow for dinner.

Ok, so after playing around with some of the new-ish options, I wanted to request a couple things.
News on Encyclopedia entries
As I've kept ANN on my Restricted Sites for a few years now (I add/remove it when I want to see certian stuff or login to post) since I got a virus cocktail from one of the ads long ago, it made my life easier when checking on past news articles when there was a More News link at the bottom of the most recent articles taking you to the full list page.
With the new News/Other articles setup, that has been removed for the more conveinent iframe box, which, while I agree that it makes it easy to have it right there, it also requires me to remove ANN from my RS more frequently.
So I wanted to request that the More News link be added back into the entries.
New Anime tab
Like the other tabs, if you click on it, it should take you to the general page for the section.
IE: News tab goes to News, Encyclopedia tab goes to the Encyclopedia, etc...
However, the New Anime tab instead takes you to the News page, rather than the seperate New Anime general page with all the links.
As this is a new thing, I don't know if it's finalized or not, however, I wanted to put in a request for a general New Anime page like the others, if this is the final version.

I happened to look at the entry for Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 today and saw it has a rating of "significant" objectionable content. Now while it's been a couple of years since I watched that show, I was puzzled how it could have attained such a rating. I don't recall any nudity or excessive swearing, so I'm guessing it received this rating because it has "bloody violence?" While there are, unsurprisingly, people with bloody injuries, it's a show about earthquake victims. It's not as though they've been bloodied through fighting or being shot.
So I followed the "similar series" link and looked at the ratings for other shows I know well like Seirei no Moribito, Kemono no Sou-ja Erin, and Dennou Coil. All of these are listed as having "significant" objectionable content, despite all of them being made for family audiences in Japan. The first two aired on NHK's educational channel. Dennou Coil seems particularly ill-categorized here, as whatever violence occurs takes place in the virtual world, and it isn't all that bloody to begin with. It has a scene where Yasako's father hurries past her while nude as he enters the bath, but he's shot from the side. That's pretty tame stuff by Japanese standards of nudity. What really differentiates Dennou Coil in your minds from Summer Wars, which has only a "mild" rating? (I'll observe in passing that some reviewers on Amazon thought Summer Wars was objectionable for its language and the bathing scenes.)
If I saw an entry for "significant" objectionable content, I'd imagine the show was inappropriate for children in elementary and middle-school to watch. Are these ratings being given using a Western, indeed American, view of what constitutes objectionable material, even if the same material wouldn't be seen as objectionable by its Japanese viewers?
To put these shows in the same category as Chobits, where the main character is sexually exploited in a peep-show setting or, worse, Narutaru, where a character is raped, makes this category essentially meaningless and unhelpful. I watched both these shows with my daughter when she was in her early teens and was uncomfortable with both these episodes. I would have censored Narutaru, but as the rape scene didn't occur until late in the show, it was hard to do so at that point. I had absolutely no qualms about her watching Moribito, Erin, or Dennou Coil.
Erin is a more complicated show to rate because it has what I'd call "disturbing" content (see episode seven in particular) that might upset some younger children, but that's very different from it having "signifcant objectionable content." Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 might be considered "disturbing" for reasons similar to Erin, but again I think it's an overstatement to classify it as having "significant objectionable content."
I guess I'm having the same reaction to this ratings system as partysmores did in an earlier posting. There also doesn't seem to be any method for contesting these judgments either. Perhaps there needs to be some distinction made between fantasy violence and actual violence? I certainly think shows like Chobits and Narutaru deserve a "significant" rating for the reasons I mentioned, but the other shows deserve at most a "mild" rating on the scale of objectionable content.

Dennou Coil does also have Daichi's father wandering around the house naked and Daichi himself checking for "hair down there".
The Australian censors have slapped an "M" for "Mature" on both volumes, which is less than MA15 but higher than PG, although apparently more for animated violence and supernatural themes than for nudity regardless.

|I completely agree with yuna and have already removed the "Significant" for some of those titles and Natsume Yuujincho also. Seriously, some people will tag anything with "Significant" at the slightest hint of a drop of blood, even thought it's supposed to be for "bloody violence" (i.e. being cut down and spraying blood), not just "blood".

Thanks, Dan!
How does one contest a content rating anyway? I looked to see if there was a standardized method for doing so and didn't find one. I'd hate to have to post in this thread any time I wanted to question the accuracy of a rating.
From what I've read of Australian censorship debates over the past few years, I'd expect their censors to have unreasonably narrow-minded opinions about what's acceptable. I certainly wouldn't take their ratings as indicative of what the global audience of anime viewers would find objectionable. And why are "supernatural themes" unacceptable? Because they don't conform to Western monotheistic religious beliefs? What kind of basis is that for judging Japanese story-telling?

I bring it up merely because it is a certification from a ratified standards body so is a valid point of reference. Obviously it is of more use if the reverse situation is in effect; e.g. if a show has a higher rating here than on the BBFC or in Australia then something is probably wrong.

It seems this functionality became available some time in the recent past. Perhaps it was always there and I never noticed it.
Anyway, thanks.

Sigma Aerial Photography...
Feb 26, 2013
Dear Fellow Sigma Shooters,
Today I shot my first aerial photo with the DP2M:
Link (retina display enabled): Sunrise over Lake Constance [rftobler.at]
For me this photo showed, that the DP2M continues the Sigma characteristic that tolerates a significant boost in contrast of aerial photos (in this case, +2.0 in SPP making the line of clouds visible) without introducing objectionable color noise. I really like that!
For earlier examples taken with the original DP1, see the following collection: Aerials from the USA [rftobler.at]

Latest update June 24th, 2016 12:55 AM
Dear Editor,
On most days and nights, two bush trucks: GRR 2374 and GRR 5804, can be seen dangerously parked on the south-bound side of the very busy East Bank public road near Eccles, impeding the smooth flow of traffic.
It is obvious that the owner of these vehicles feels protected by his high-level judicial connection.
After witnessing a close encounter which could easily have resulted in a fatal accident involving a cyclist and a passing vehicle at the rear-end of truck GRR 5804, I felt obligated to publish a photo of this blatant traffic violation that is being ignored everyday by passing police ranks.
What is most disturbing, is the fact that the Traffic Chief is well aware of this danger, but chooses instead to ignore the numerous phone calls he received from the publisher of Kaieteur News, warning him of these dangerously parked vehicles, day and night in a location that is clearly marked "No Parking". According to Mr. Glenn Lall, "I feel belittled and insulted to call the Traffic Chief again on this matter. I called him no less than ten times already." The questions must now be asked: Does the Traffic Chief feel intimidated by the truck owner's judicial connection? And, who painted the "No Parking" signs on the public road, was it the police or did the owner of the trucks put it there himself to prevent other vehicles from parking there?
I urge the Police Traffic Department to immediately issue parking violations to the owner of these trucks, and have them towed away at the owner's expense if he stubbornly refuses to have them moved voluntarily. This East Bank public road is much too busy with commuters going to and from work and school, to overlook this accident waiting to happen.

NBA nicknames: From Mamba to Zeke
Kobe Bryant this week tabbed guard Andrew Goudelock the "mini-Mamba" for the gritty style of play he has demonstrated in the first month of his NBA career. It's a nickname, like Bryant's "Black Mamba", that could stick as long as the rookie sticks around the league.
Goudelock is just the latest NBA player to get tabbed with a nickname. There is a long, storied list of players that were known by other than their baptized names.
Consider Shaquille O'Neal. The former Lakers center-turned-TV-analyst had more monikers than jerseys throughout his career and probably will have more down the road.
Click on the photos to see which players had the more interesting nicknames.

I went to a local lagoon yesterday afternoon. There were some birds and butterflies there. The big zoom of the FZ70 allowed me to stay farther away from the birds, and they didn't fly away.

Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull had two world championship victories to celebrate following today's Indian Grand Prix.
Vettel wrapped up his fourth drivers' championship title in as many years and his team did the same in the constructors' championship.
The celebrations began immediately after the chequered flag fell with Vettel performing doughnuts in front of the crowd on the start/finish straight as he also marked his third consecutive Indian Grand Prix victory.

Cotton Prefolds vs Bamboo Prefolds for Newborn
Started by coco100 , Jul 02 2009 04:47 PM
9 replies to this topic
Posted 02 July 2009 - 04:47 PM
Up until now I have planned to use the Booroi bamboo prefolds on our next newborn for the first few months until bubs is big enough to start using AIO's.
WHilst shopping around recently I saw on nappybucket.com.au cotton prefolds which are half the price of the bamboo ones.. I have been told by one person who has used these that they have never had any leakage probs... what are your experiences? Should I go cotton because it is cheaper, bamboo because they are supposedly more absorbent, or get a mix of both?
Any how many prefolds will I need? I am budgeting on 30 atm but could I get away with less?
Posted 02 July 2009 - 04:58 PM
I've got both and TBH I preferred my cotton over bamboo when he was little. Now I use them both to stuff his pockets and I really don't notice the difference. I think cotton is supposed to be harder wearing but DS's wee will deteriorate anything so I can't comment on that as nothing seems hard wearing enough for him.
I didn't have the Booroi ones everyone raves about either so maybe that would have made a difference?!
Posted 02 July 2009 - 05:05 PM
Cotton also dries faster.
I know people swear by bamboo, but DD rarely out wets a cotton pre-fold at 5 months and I like having an option that I can just about guarantee will dry within one day.
Posted 02 July 2009 - 05:09 PM
Booroi are so thick and thirsty, they are well worth the money. I have them and they are the thirstiest ones ive used yet. The Bamboos do require some sun to get dry because they are so thick, so having a combination of types is helpful.
I would also get some fitteds, you change nappies so many times a day its sometimes nice to have an easy nappy in the middle of the night when you feel like a zombie. Itti bitti snap in and pocket nappies are quick drys
Posted 02 July 2009 - 05:16 PM
I have both. I prefer the bamboo as they dry softer and last longer. The cotton dy faster but I find I have to either use 2 or boost them to get longer then one hour out of them
Posted 02 July 2009 - 05:24 PM
A bit of both is good - as PP said, the cotton dry much faster than the bamboo ones. You need at least 8-12 per day, so taking into account washing every second day then 30 would be fine. I had 36 prefolds plus a few fitteds and haven't run out (although came close a couple of times! )
Posted 02 July 2009 - 06:31 PM
When DD (now 21 mths) was born bamboo prefolds weren't really around, it was all cotton prefolds. So I started with 24 infant-sized cotton prefolds, plus 6 newborn sized fitteds and that was fine for washing every 2 days, never ran out. I found cotton worked fine for us, no leaks, and even though bamboo now seems "all the rage" I'll get the cotton ones out again when I next have a new baby.
Maybe a mix of both? cotton is cheaper and does dry faster, bamboo is more expensive and more absorbant but dries slower, but then I'm happy to change my child when she is wet, although increased absorbancy of bamboo would be good for nights when bub hopefully sleeps a bit longer (thats when I tried to use a fitted and cover).
Posted 03 July 2009 - 12:16 AM
I use Booroi cotton prefolds and they dry pretty quickly. Bamboo is pretty absorbant, BUT does take a while to dry. So if you want bamboo buy a few for your stash as they might take a while to dry in the winter cold. I'm not interested in buying bamboo prefolds, to exy for me hehe. I just boost my cotton prefolds with bamboo boosters and that works fine. Saying that I fold a booster into my prefold in a pad fold and insert the prefold into a Booroi PUL cover. I don't actually do the prefold up like a proper nappy. They are the right size for my DS2 but his got a funny shaped body and I just can't seem to get a prefold done up lol. I prefer putting one in a cover instead, except his Booroi covers still gape a bit around the legs and he has leaks sometimes.
I use terry flats mostly with a bamboo booster. I have 36 prefolds in rotation. That's a good rotation number if you are going to use prefolds and that is it. Get some good covers like Motherease, Thirsties, Bummis or BBH and your set!
Posted 03 July 2009 - 10:48 AM
Well I think you have all convinced me to get a mix.I will look into the fitteds for sure, it does sound like a good idea to have some of those especially for night time.
Now to find exactly what covers I want and I can start buying!
Posted 14 July 2009 - 02:54 PM
i think i have a super wee-er as he was soaking through his bamboo prefolds on day one at home... so the cotton ones were used for one nappy change and that was it! i now use mine on the change table to soak up the 'accidents' when his nappy is off!

Tide, Gators, Bulldogs headline NCAA pairings
Published: Tuesday, April 17, 2007 at 9:28 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 16, 2007 at 11:00 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | The third-ranked University of Alabama gymnastics team will be paired with the top two teams in the country -- and the only two teams it has lost to -- at the NCAA Championships.
The Crimson Tide will compete in the afternoon session at the national title meet, which starts on Thursday, April 26, at Jon Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City, along with No. 1 Florida and No. 2 Georgia.
Also in Alabamas session will be sixth-ranked Nebraska, eighth-ranked Oregon State and No. 10 Oklahoma. The top three finishers in the session will advance to the Super Six championship round on Friday, April 27, along with the top three finishers from the evening session.
I think any draw you are going to get is difficult at this point," Alabama coach Sarah Patterson said. I told the ladies [Monday] we dont need to be looking over our shoulder. Weve competed with Florida and Georgia numerous times and we competed with Oklahoma in the regular season and in the regional. We havent seen Oregon State and Nebraska, but we just need to concentrate on doing our best."
No. 4 Stanford is the highest-ranked team in the second session, followed by No. 5 LSU, No. 7 Utah, No. 8 UCLA, No. 12 Michigan and No. 14 Denver.
Alabama lost at Florida on Jan. 19 and at Georgia on Feb. 10 in dual competition. The Tide finished third behind the Gators and the Gym Dogs at the Southeastern Conference Championship on March 31 in North Little Rock, Ark.
Weve competed against the top teams in the country," Patterson said. I think the fact that weve seen these teams, theres less chance for distraction.
When you get to this level, whoever the hottest team is will advance."
Alabama will start on floor exercise and end on bye after balance beam.
Is there any other rotation for us at the national championship?" Patterson said. In 03 in the SEC Championship and the regional and the NCAA Championships we ended on beam.
I think were the random draw for that. Its kind of ironic. It just seems that we always end on beam at nationals."
Patterson said freshman Kassi Price, who sat out the regional meet after sustaining a knee injury in practice the day before the meet, had a limited workout on Monday.
She did a little bars," Patterson said. Well take it one day at a time."
Individual all-arounder Julie Dwyer of Auburn will compete in Alabamas rotation.
Alabama advanced to the NCAA Championships with a first-place finish at the NCAA Central Regional last Saturday, with Oklahoma beating Iowa State in a tie-breaker for second place to earn its bid.
The 2007 NCAA Championships will mark Alabamas 25th straight trip to the national title meet.

Purple WiFi, the cloud-based Social WiFi software company, has added Presence Analytics and Location Based Services to its Guest WiFi product.
Presence Analytics bridges the gap between Google Analytics and the real world, offering real time data and reporting using WiFi technology, similar to how cookies track user browsing online.
This arms the venue with an unprecedented level of insight into consumer behaviour and opportunities to engage customers directly. Purple WiFi already serves demographic and engagement information from users to the venue through its Purple Portal, which allows the business to understand who is visiting and using the hotspot, how long they are online, as well as their age, gender and any other relevant information that they offer in their social networking profile.
Purple WiFi's Presence Analytics feature also incorporates Customer Tracking, which is facilitated by tracking the MAC address (unique number associated with any WiFi enabled device), and the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) which identifies roughly how far away the device is from the Access Point. This tracking capability is relevant to all devices regardless of whether the user authenticates onto the network.
From the continual storage of this intelligence key elements can be identified, such as how long the devices stay in a location and how often the device returns. Reports can then be generated on data such as; footfall, repeat vs new visitors, average number of visits, average visitor duration and recency of visits.
Location Based Services utilise Geo-fencing technology to allow this data to be taken one step further by drawing invisible lines around specific sales areas or locations, to identify behaviour patterns within that area. This is facilitated by setting up WiFi grids where activity is monitored, allowing instant confirmation of who is using the network and where.
Purple WiFi can then gauge how long consumers will remain in these areas, what purchases they are considering and assist venues to develop marketing engagement strategies that can then be implemented in real time, including email and messages sent to a consumer's phone, highlighting offers in the store.
The customer has the right to opt-in or opt-out of tracking. If a customer is not opted in, Purple WiFi's software can still detect an anonymous MAC address, confirm whether that MAC address is a new or repeat visitor, and see how long that device stays.
Using Purple WiFi's Location Based Services (only available with certain hardware manufacturers) the device can be tracked within the specific venue. The accuracy of the location-based tracking also depends on the number of access points in the space.
If a customer is opted in, the device MAC address can be linked to personal data, such as their age, gender, name, email address, location, language, Likes, etc. meaning relevant vouchers can be pushed to the visitor.
The issue of privacy has been raised in relation to customer tracking and it must be addressed to allow both retailers and their customers to feel comfortable and have clear guidelines on analytics use. After all, if the retailers better understand the needs of their customers, the outcome will be better store layouts, improved traffic flow, evacuation points, safety and removing the frustrations that customers often feel when receiving non-specific and irrelevant marketing messages.
Gavin Wheeldon, CEO, Purple WiFi comments: "Purple WiFi's social login feature provides a wealth of understanding, but when added to Presence Analytics and Location Based Services, things start to get really interesting.
"We support an individual's right to privacy and right to control the collection of information. They need to feel confident that information collection is in their best interest and once they understand the advantages of opting-in, in terms of better targeting and relevant offers, it is our belief that they won't be opting out."
Notes to editors
Purple WiFi is cloud-based which means that it can work with practically any hardware and it currently supports location analytics on Cisco, Cisco Meraki, AirTight and very soon Ruckus, Xirrus, Enterasys and Purple WiFi's own firmware.
Purple WiFi brings all the expected benefits of an enterprise WiFi system, with the additional benefits of enhanced social media interaction and real-time insight and analytics.
We install carrier class WiFi equipment, improving bandwidth availability wherever practical and cost effective. This ensures that the user experience for both end users and staff is second to none.
About Purple WiFi http://purplewifi.net
Purple WiFi provides a fast, secure, social WiFi solution to businesses wishing to offer free WiFi to visitors. The business is provided with valuable analytical data to enable more effective marketing.
Purple WiFi is cloud-based and works with any hardware, with native integrations with Cisco Meraki, AirTight Networks and Ruckus in place.
The company is a member of the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), highlighting Purple WiFi's commitment to content filtering and minimising access to abusive online content.

The Alaska Native Brotherhood and Alaska Native Sisterhood are celebrating a big anniversary.
Officers and delegates at the 99th annual Grand Camp Convention are meeting this week in Klawock, on Prince of Wales Island. The meeting has the theme, "Reviewing 100 Years of History – Preparing for the Next."
The Brotherhood was organized in 1912 and calls itself "the United States' oldest indigenous persons' civil-rights organization." The Sisterhood formed several years later.
The meeting, at Klawock High School, began Tuesday and continues through Saturday.
Beyond history, members are discussing the landless Natives issue, tobacco cessation programs and suicide prevention.
They will also hear reports from Sealaska, the Veterans Administration, the Sitka Local Foods Network, the Southern Southeast Alaska Technical Education Center and other groups.
The ANB and ANS will also elect officers and pass resolutions guiding the organization's direction for the next year.
