I don't think that the quality of Gate as a villain dragged down the quality of FMP TSR at all, in fact I don't even think he was a bad villian. While its true that there isn't much to his charcter, the reason why this dosen't hurt TSR is because he isn't part of the main focus of the story; the main purpose of TSR is the relationship between Sousuke and Chidori, and Souskue forging an identity and his own path in life. Gates is the main villian just because TSR needed one, but he's mainly comic relief if anything. I actually liked Gates because his crazy antics were quite funny in my opinion.
With regards to the dub, I find FMP TSR's Dub to be one of my favorites, and for the most part I think it's on par with the Japanses Dub. Anyway this is all just my opinion.

About TSR - well, I really have to disagree with you on this one but I do understand where you're coming from.
Sure, there wasn't a ton of humor in it - that's because there wasn't supposed to be. Also, the main bad guy spoiler[wasn't really a "main bad guy" at all when you look at the big picture. He wasn't Sousuke's rival - Gauron was. And Guaron did make a pretty impressive appearance. I remember wondering at the end of the first season if Sousuke really got him or not. So, with TSR, I thought the new guy was going to be the "main deal", but he's definitely not. Look at what Tessa's brother is up to: what's going on with that?! He doesn't seem so clean and he seems much more intelligent than the opera-singing crazy man. The only reason Sousuke couldn't take crazy man out earlier was because he didn't have the right confidence and mindset to use the Arbalest properly. It was about watching the characters grow more than filling you with tons of laughter.] I can see why coming off of Fumoffu would leave people wanting more comedy, but there's a time and a place for it and TSR was not it. I think this is what made me like it the best actually.
A lot of anime titles let characters stagnate or just endlessly power up in order to keep things moving and it's starting to feel forced. I don't get that kind of feeling from FMP - any of its seasons. To me, TSR had a very classy feel about it and I felt they really did things the right way.
While I can agree with you that Gates felt a little cliche, I still don't think he drug the series down at all. The series had a lot of information packed into it and characters who were going through tons of changes. They needed some kind of character like that in order to keep it going since, spoiler[up until a certain point] Guaron was no longer in the picture.
And about the Dub. I don't listen to English casts very often and I typically think Chris Patton is a bit of a jerk for standing up FL convention scenes from time to time. However, I would willingly listen to this English track - and that's saying something. I usually end up disliking the English track after a few minutes of listening. With FMP, the only characters voices I can't stand are Tessa and Kyoko. The cast is top notch. And I think most people would agree with me, not just the Vic fangirls either. Luci Christian is a great voice actress and she really does a great job with Kaname.
I think the second season was much better than the first: less filler, more action, more suspense, kept some comedy in but didn't over do it, and really took the time to develop their characters. Not to mention the CGI looked substantially better. I mean, the submarine in the first season looked like crap and I felt silly watching it glub glub past the camera repeatedly.
I've been looking forward to the Blue Ray release of this for quite a while. I think it's an excellent purchase and belongs in any collection.
Sorry - I didn't mean to make this so long or rant-like, but I really feel strongly that FMP is one of the best balanced anime titles out there: it has a little something for everyone without over doing anything.

You appear to have appointed yourself the expert on what this column is "supposed" to be and how it "should" be written.
There are three people who make that decision: Erin, Bamboo, and myself.
You can rant and stomp your feet about how she's "not doing it right" but most of what you say doesn't make any sense. She's not supposed to compare one series to another? She's supposed to tell you what "the fans" (which is, by the way, almost always code for "what I think" when someone like you uses it) would think rather than what she thinks?
Shelf Life has always been a capsule review column with a particular point of view - it is author-driven, and it's supposed to be written in a more personal style than a standard formal review. It's always been like that. Bamboo wrote it like that. Bamboo also frequently compared one title to another title in order to contextualize her review and give you an idea of whether or not you'd like it. The entire point of the column is "what she thinks". It has never been... whatever you think it's "supposed" to be, which I can't get my head around at all.

If this is chocolate pudding, I'd like a refund, please.
Constructive criticism here, but I found your post to be the most disrespectful in this entire thread. I certainly didn't appreciate reading it, and I'm sure I'm not alone.
Maybe an edit is in order?

You're right; I never gave OP a fair shake and I feel a bit guilty about it. I read the first volume or two of the manga a few years ago, didn't see anything interesting and gave up on the story. Meanwhile, I gave Naruto and Bleach a few tries, and after initially writing both series off, I eventually had periods of being "really into" both and found what was enjoyable in each.
I've heard some very smart fans claiming OP's superiority to Naruto and Bleach for years, so my question is: When does One Piece get good? Because if it is better than the other two, l'd love to see what makes it great for myself.

If you didn't enjoy One Piece up to episode 10, then don't bother watching the rest of it. One Piece had its good moments along the road, but most of the time the same pacing was kept.
I thought this week's Shelf life was specially good. But I see many disagree. So far, nobody's put up a constructive criticism other than putting their own opinions against Erin's, but that doesn't make either of them wrong, though. And sincerely, I regret having read 4 pages of groundless complaints.

Zac, i am not that angry over a column. It's just a column.
Next, I don't have any "die-hard" feelings for these particular titles either...
My ONLY problem was, that in comparison to Bamboo's style, he offered credible evidence to support what he said.
I get you when you say "author-driven", but, c'mon, you have to notice a bit of a difference of how these titles have been rated.
As for what I mean by "the fans": I've been trying to get people to understand certain titles were different from one another, without ressorting to comparing, because TOO many people I know get dissuaded that way.
When it's neccessary, it's neccessary (like for first timers...), but for seasoned watchers who've seen it all, getting them to try something new, or, at least, getting them to even think about it is quite difficult.
And for someone to name random series like that to illustrate a point doesn't help me conclude if it is worth checking out or not.
Erin did 3 columns so far, right? The first one was pretty good, the second one had a bit of references during the Magikano and D. Gray-man sections, and we have this one.
Bamboo, at least not for a long time, hardly EVER used that much references!
I respect Shelf Life. Been reading it since Summer 2007 (when I started watching anime for real), and after reading that much, I can't help but notice a dramatic change.
All I'm saying, ultimately, is that I hope Shelf Life won't always be like this... But it could be too soon to tell.

Actually it really doesn't get good until about 35 episodes in the middle of the Arlong arc. Many fans will back me up on that one. If you still don't like it, then there's no hope for you. I mean you're asking what makes it good, and THAT'S what makes it good. It's the same thing that the column was talking about with the latest volume (really made me smile when I read that as I love the really tender, emotional parts of that arc as well)

|Then let me explain myself better. Basically, yes, it does get "good", but that "goodness", obviously, won't last for the rest of the series. Just like I said, One Piece has its epics and "masterpiece" moments, but as soon as that's gone, it's back to its normal pace. And that's why I said what I said. But, just like you said, someone who's interested in knowing One Piece should at least watch up to one of those "good" moments to decide whether they'll follow it or not. That's my recommendation.

I don't think anyone should have to watch 35 episodes of a show for it to get good.
Anyway, don't let the haters get you down, Erin! People don't like change, and they're are always at their most negative and outspoken on Internet forums. (The main reason I don't comment on 'em too often, I don't like being personally attacked.) Of course the column isn't going to be the same. Erin and Bamboo are two different people with differing styles. Get over it.

Ehehe, what drama! Personally, I'm a fan of Bamboo and, as Erin probably knows, I am a big fan of her as well. Can't we like them both? Must we compare them? CANT WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?!
I love Erin's style because while I admit it isn't as brisk and flowing as Bamboo's, Erin definitely shows that she knows her stuff and that she's a person who has seen a LOT of anime and has a lot of knowledge and experience to share. It can perhaps be a little bit jarring for newer fans who won't get her references or quite get where her thoughts are coming from, but as a guy whose seen just about everything and has a lot of similar idea to Erin, I enjoy reading her style and I really feel I can embrace her opinion.
Now, as for her reviews. Tokyo Majin has one of my favorite first episodes of all time, I've watched that thing a lot of times! Unfortunately, the rest of the show was pretty meh, like you said. It really bothered me that the characters seemed to just gradually loose their individuality and mold into one. I did not ever get around tot he second season, either.
I've only seen 2 eps of FMP TSR, but I thought the second one was amazing. I feel like I'll love this show, but I am also massively biased because I love violent bad-guys and I REALLY REALLY love lesbian incest.
One Piece is pretty awesome, too. I haven't gotten to the Chopper arc myself, but I had always heard it was one of the weaker ones with th exception of the part you mentioned where Luffy carries them up the hillside. Interesting to hear another prespective on that.

35 episodes of 424 (and it's still going) is around one-twelfth of the series itself.
If you're not interested in a grand adventure that you can't even watch 8% of it, then just don't bother.
Arlong Park (starting at episode 31 and ending in the mid 40s I believe) is where a viewer typically gets sucked into the One Piece world. That's where I got sucked in.
The truly awesome thing about One Piece is that even though there are a few moments of downtime (arguably Skypeia and Davy Back Fight), it's always still fun to watch. And given the enormous series length, there are relatively few filler episodes (when compared to other shounen series like Naruto, Bleach, D. Grayman, Reborn, etc).

Thanks, Erin, I am enjoying your reviews in Shelf Life. I am finding already that I tend to agree with your assessments and that's very satisfying, as I can look forward to your recommendations now .
I found eventually that I frequently agreed with Bamboo, also, so I relied on her reviews and it's great to know that I can continue in the same vein easily.
It sounds like you are still very keen on anime and that's so encouraging in a reviewer. Keep up the good work, thanks!

I guess I'll throw my opinion out there. I don't think it's the reviewer or their style that people are getting disapointed at, I think it's the anime that was reviewed that week. For the past few months I haven't really been interested in the anime featured and it's taken some enjoyment out of the article.
I wouldn't mind if Erin threw in a few reviews from past or previously reviewed anime, maybe one per article?

In this study, the authors propose implicit control using least square support vector machines (LS-SVMs) approximation for the motion control of wheeled under-actuated manipulators. For approximating the multi-input and multi-output non-linear system, an LS-SVM matrix operator is proposed. Further, by using implicit function with SVMs, a control is constructed to obtain motion tracking of wheeled under-actuated manipulators. The relative degree of the regulated output is assumed to be known enabling the system feedback linearisable. It is shown that the tracking error can be controlled in a small neighbourhood of zero through Lyapunov's direct method. The methodology is applicable to minimum phase observable and stabilisable systems of unknown but finite dimension, as long as the relative degree is known. The effectiveness of the proposed control method is substantiated by the simulation results.

Winners Connection receive inaugural UDFA GT Beer Cup trophy
By Jeff Trotman
Troy Peters, Communications Manager, Banks DIH, has promised that the giant local brewery company will continue to support the Upper Demerara Football Association (UDFA) in running off its year end tournament.
He made the promise at the presentation ceremony of the inaugural UDFA GT Beer Cup on Wednesday evening at the Egbert Benjamin Interpretation Centre, Linden.
Pointing out that he was at the opening of the tournament at the Mackenzie Sports Club on Wednesday 11 December 2013, Peter said that the tournament coincided with GT Beer being launched for the first time in the country and that was in Linden.
The Banks DIH Communications Manager also pointed out that the tournament was held under the brand of GT Beer and Banks DIH is proud to be associated with the tournament. He also said that Banks DIH will continue to support the tournament and the people of the community.
He said although the presentation ceremony signals the end of the inaugural tournament, he is confident that the tournament will continue for a long time. "What I can also say," Peters added, "the company will continue to show its commitment because as you know he had clashes but we see this tournament as a community based tournament, initially. But I know it would grow from strength to strength."
He congratulated Winners Connection for winning the competition and he called on those present to give the team a rousing round of applause. He also congratulated Milerock, Top XX and Silver Shattas for respectively, placing second, third and fourth.
Peters further stated that Banks DIH is grateful to the Linden community for supporting the tournament. He also said that he is aware that the UDFA is proud of its achievement.
During his address at the presentation ceremony, the UDFA President Sharma Solomon stressed that the most important aspect of the presentation ceremony was the celebration of football.
In thanking the various stakeholders for supporting the UDFA in running off the successful year end tournament, Solomon said: "Football is used as a sport as an instrument to develop not only communities but individuals and what we would have done with the UDFA GT Cup competition was to develop football and at the end of the day, football was the winner."
According to him, when the UDFA organized the tournament, it was not interested in competing with other tournaments or organizations. "We're here only to promote and have football played," Solomon said as he highlighted that the UDFA had been successful in promotion the tournament within six weeks in which two were dedicated to planning the tournament after the association received timely commitment from Banks to fund the tournament to the tune of $6.6M with an additional amount in excess of a $1M dedicated to upgrading the Mackenzie Sports Club Ground.
In taking the players and football fans for supporting the tournament, Solomon said: "I can firmly boast to you that because of your efforts and because of your commitment you have made your association maybe the riches association in this country at the moment."
Winners Connection gained the first lien on the UDFA GT Beer Cup when they defeated Milerock 2-1 in the final on New Year's Day. Top XX placed third by defeating silver Shattas by
a similar margin in the first match of the double header.
Winners Connection also received a cash first prize of $1M and medals for its players. Second place Milerock received a trophy, $750,000 and medals for its players while third and fourth placed teams, Top XX and Silver Shattas each received a trophy as well $350,000 and $250,000, respectively.
Rawle 'Boney' Gittens of Winners Connection, who received the most valuable player trophy also received the trophy for the most goal scorer. He scored four goals in the tournament. Deon Charter of Eagles United, who scored a hattrick on the first evening of the tournament but was subsequently unable to play because of injury, received the award for the best goal of the tournament.

WOLVERHAMPTON, Dec 26 (SW) - Reading opened up a nine-point lead at the top of the Coca-Cola Championship on Boxing Day with a win at Wolves while Sheffield United fell at home to Norwich City.
Wolverhampton - Reading 0-2
Reading, who also got their ninth straight league win on the day, went in front on 29 minutes as Dave Kitson headed home Glen Little's cross.
Bobby Convey then sealed the points at Molineux Stadium from the edge of the penalty area in the 64th minute.
Sheffield United - Norwich City 1-3
Sheffield United lost for the first time in 13 home matches as Norwich came into Bramall Lane and strolled to victory.
Phil Jagielka had given the home side a 22nd-minute lead with a header off David Unsworth's cross, but Paul McVeigh pulled the Canaries level in the 33rd minute.
Dean Ashton put the visitors into the lead in the 62nd minute and Chris Morgan's own goal nine minutes later sealed the win for Norwich.
Watford - Southampton 3-0
George Burley's tenure as Southampton manager began in horrific style as third-placed Watford beat the Saints at Vicarage Road.
Darius Henderson headed Watford into the lead in the 28th minute and Clarke Carlisle managed to guide the ball over the line in the 40th minute to give the Hornets a 2-0 half-time advantage.
The game was put out of reach two minutes after the restart when Southampton's Tomasz Hajto put into his own net.
Leeds United - Coventry City 3-1
Looking to return to the Premiership, Leeds got a big win at Elland Road which started in the 34th minute on a goal by Jonathon Douglas.
Don Hutchison's volley, however, in the 58th minute pulled Coventry level although Robbie Blake retook the lead for the Whites in the 61st minute.
Richard Cresswell put the game out of reach with a goal in the 80th minute, although Coventry should have pulled one back in the 82nd minute when Gary McSheffrey missed from the penalty spot.
Burnley - Stoke City 1-0
Burnley won for the sixth straight match in league play as they defeated fellow play-off chasers Stoke 1-0 at Turf Moor.
The lone goal was scored in the 56th minute by Ade Akinbiyi, his 12th league goal of the season, to give Burnley and manager Steve Cotterill yet another win.
Ipswich Town - Crystal Palace 0-2
Crystal Palace, still looking for a Premiership return, notched a victory over Ipswich at Portman Road despite finishing with nine players.
Jonathan Macken put the Eagles in front in the 14th minute with a blistering shot before Michael Hughes fired home on another cracking goal in the 61st minute for a 2-0 lead.
Macken was dismissed for clashing with Owen Garvan in the 76th minute and Ben Watson got his second yellow card in the 89th minute to also earn a dismissal.
Derby County - Luton Town 1-1
Derby made it six games unbeaten as Luton continue to slip down the table after a promising start to the season.
Inigo Idiakez put Derby in the lead in the 72nd minute with a free kick from just outside the area, but Ahmet Brkovic put in a Dean Morgan cross to level for Luton with ten minutes to play in the match.
Cardiff City - Plymouth Argyle 0-2
Plymouth Argyle dominated at Ninian Park as they defeated ten-man Cardiff on Monday.
Cardiff had captain Darren Purse sent off in the 71st minute when he pulled back Plymouth's Micky Evans in the area and Paul Wotton smashed in the ensuing spot kick for a 1-0 lead.
The visitors got an insurance goal with ten minutes to go as David Norris took Evans' pass and raced in on goal before scoring.
Brighton - QPR 1-0
Brighton snatched victory on Monday at Withdean Stadium on an early goal by Guy Butters.
After captain Charlie Oatway was forced off with an apparent broken ankle on a horrible tackle by Marcus Bean, Richard Carpenter took the ensuing free kick and Butters was able to get it and tuck it in for a 1-0 lead.
Crewe Alexandra - Hull City 2-2
Crewe were denied a much-needed victory by a late Billy Paynter goal and were held at Gresty Road.
Eddie Johnson put Crewe into the lead on 19 minutes with an effort from outside the area, but Craig Fagan pulled Hull level with a goal in the 33rd minute.
Eight minutes later, Crewe restored their lead on a goal Gary Roberts, but Paynter hit a brilliant effort from distance in the 80th minute to snatch a point.
Preston North End - Sheffield Wednesday 0-0
Trying to fight their way away from the relegation zone, Sheffield Wednesday got a big draw away from home at the expense of Preston.
Wedensday, who haven't won at Preston in 45 years, couldn't find the poise up front to beat the Preston defense, but the visitors' defense was lauded by manager Paul Sturrock for a brilliant performance.
Leicester City - Millwall 1-1
Millwall remained rooted to the bottom of the table after Monday, but a draw away to Leicester should give them a bit of confidence, although it was a match they could have won.
The Lions were in front in the 28th minute when Patrick McCarthy deflected a cross into his own net, and things got worse for Leicester in the 57th minute when Danny Tiatto was sent off for a second yellow card, but Joey Gudjonsson converted a penalty for the home side in the 64th minute and Millwall lost a man in Paul Robinson three minutes later for two bookable offenses.

With longevity, postoperative cognitive decline in the elderly has emerged as a major health concern for which several factors have been implicated, one of the most recent being the role of anaesthetics. Interactions of anaesthetic agents and different targets have been studied at the molecular, cellular and structural anatomical levels. Recent in vitro nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies have shown that several anaesthetics act on the oligomerisation of amyloid β peptide. Uncontrolled production, oligomerisation and deposition of amyloid β peptide, with subsequent development of amyloid plaques, are fundamental steps in the generation of Alzheimer's disease. Amyloid β peptide is naturally present in the central nervous system, and is found at higher tissue concentrations in the elderly. We argue that administering certain general anaesthetics to elderly patients may worsen amyloid β peptide oligomerisation and deposition and thus increase the risk of developing postoperative cognitive dysfunction. The aim of this review is to highlight the clinical aspects of postoperative cognitive dysfunction and to find plausible links between possible anaesthetic effects and the molecular pathological mechanism of Alzheimer's disease. It is hoped that our hypothesis will stimulate further enquiry, especially triggering research into elucidating those anaesthetics that may be more suitable when cognitive dysfunction is a particular concern.

Great figures are for the youth like raisins in the cake of world history. Assuredly they do belong to its actual substance, but it is actually not nearly so easy as one might suppose to separate the truly great from those who merely seem that way from some distance. Among those who merely seem great it is the historical moment and their ability to assess and to tackle things that gives them the fleeting appearance of greatness. Indeed there is no shortage of historians and biographers, not to mention mere journalists, who possess this ability to anticipate and grasp the historical moment, which is to say: the passing success, which may be taken as a sign of greatness. The corporal who from one day to the next suddenly emerges as a dictator, or the courtesan who for a short while suceeds to govern the good or evil disposition of a leader of world consequence number among the favorite figures of such historians. And the idealistically predisposed youth love, on the other hand, those who are tragic failures—the martyrs who have arrived one moment to soon or too late. But for me, and I am of course a historian of our Benedictine order, what is most appealing, surprising, and worthy of study in world history is not personalities, not coups and not successes or failures—rather my passion and unrequitable interest is devoted to those efforts (of which our congregation is one) of very ancient institutions which attempt to collect the spirit and the soul of humanity, to educate and transform it—to transform it through education, not through eugenics… into a nobility which is prepared to serve as well as to govern.
–Hermann Hesse, Das Glasperlenspiel, ch. iv (1946) in: Gesammelte Schriften, vol. 6, pp. 252-53 (S.H. transl.)

In five easy lessons
From the April 2015 issue
Freddie Gray's relatives arrived for the trial in the afternoon, after the prep-school kids had left. By their dress, they seemed to have just gotten off work in the medical and clerical fields. The family did not appear at ease in the courtroom. They winced and dropped their heads as William Porter and his fellow officer Zachary Novak testified to opening the doors of their police van last April and finding Freddie paralyzed, unresponsive, with mucus pooling at his mouth and nose. Four women and one man mournfully listened as the officers described needing to get gloves before they could touch him.
The first of six Baltimore police officers to be brought before the court for their treatment of Freddie Gray, a black twenty-five-year-old whose death in their custody was the immediate cause of the city's uprising last spring, William Porter is young, black, and on trial. Here in this courtroom, in this city, in this nation, race and the future seem so intertwined as to be the same thing.

$900 per pill is less than sovaldi/harvoni. I'm sure someone will still complain as they want them to give it away!
Read the Street article says they took the low road by pricing lower than earlier drugs.
Gilead set the sticker price for the newly approved hepatitis C drug Epclusa at $74,760 for a 12 week course of treatment.
about time we getz some decent news from this dog
hard telling but a loss of 113 pts in 2 days was ridiculous and all political horsepuckey
good news if we hold by close
Should see some window dressing for 3rd Q as well. AMZN may be a candidate. Not so sure if AAPL will see much action since its been a big drip the whole year.
sorry, my bag. meant the 200 sma on the sp500. just hard to fathom that we fell that hard last 2 sessions.
watch 2020 on sp500. 50 sma Brexit was totally overdone but it cleaned the slate for new quarter. no more bellyaching about the s&p being over-valued I'd think.
BWLD very expensive restaurant stock. who'd have thought!
I don't think UK too impacted with immigration as is Germany but certainly plays a role. I think more impacted with neighboring countries like Italy/Greece/Portugal not pulling weight, I can't say I blame them,
I know this is crazy but it makes one wonder about the credibility of these analysts and their so-called price targets! Biotech companies are one of the few sectors that are making money in this economy. This political yo-yo game is well over-played. I keep waiting for some reasoning but have yet to see it.
excerpt....."It has come to our attention that the IPAB determination may be announced at Brookings on Thursday. The Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) is an independent executive committee intended to contain Medicare spending growth by proposing CMS reforms to be implemented by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The IPAB is "triggered" (comes into existence) when the actual growth rate exceeds a target growth rate set by the CMS actuary. Although IPAB can propose reforms to any portion of CMS spending, we do not believe that the IPAB will target Part D drug spending specifically."
In yahoo news on AMGN there is an article why biotech stocks got crushed. It relates to Medicare cutting drug costs but if you read the article it states this will not effect drug costs under Part D. Worth a read. Sounds like more scare tactics in the sector.
Many drugs manufactured overseas are not safe
The sooner the ol gal stops yakkin the better
dividend could surely use a boost. should be more in line with MRK's.

Nomura cut target from 125 to 115 but maintains buy recommendation. Nomura is probably in bed with Left.

There are some things in life that are easier said than done. That is certainly the case when it comes to keeping your name clean. Everyone, at some point in their lives, will do some things that they are not proud of. There have comedians that have joked that some people may have a skeleton in their clothes, but some people have an entire cemetery. Reputation management companies, like Brightpast can help you with these problems.
The reality of all of this is that there are going to be things that you may not want to come out. The best thing that you can do is try your best to keep your image clean. You don't have to be the one that drinks and parties too hard. It may seem like a good idea at the time, but these are always the things that come back to haunt you. Some people have children with people that they didn't intend to have children. Others may be in a place where they are unable to recall what may have happened when they are drinking. Sometimes you have to forgo the good times in the short run to keep your good times rolling for your career in the long run. This typically seems like something that makes more sense when you are sober. In other words, it usually only seems like important advice in retrospect.
The temptations may be out there, but the reality of it all is simple. A good reputation means a lot. Your public relations people are really much more like insurance. You have it, but you don't want to use it unless you have to. Everyone is going to need someone that can manage public relations, but no one really wants to call on these people to piece of the pieces over and over again. That is why it makes sense to work harder on keeping your image clean from the very start.
There is only a limited amount of praised that can handed down of PR people that are bailing you out. A PR person may clean up your mess once, but they may not be so lucky next time. It may be harder to really see the benefits of a PR rep that you have to continually call on because their reputation will get tarnished as well. They become guilty by association for trying to clean up your mess over and over again. It becomes harder to believe ta public relations person that is always trying to get people to forgive your latest transgression or alcoholic episode.
That is why it is going to be to be so much better to simply keep your reputation clean. This can really help your during those times when you may be competing against someone else. You may both compete for business in the same field. The thing that will make the difference is the reputation that you have in most cases.

Adobe RAW in LR4 vs CS6
May 12, 2012
Hello everybody
I'm wondering if there are any differences between the RAW processing possibilities of Lightroom 4 and CS 6 (adobe camera raw plugin).
Do I miss some (important) RAW processing features if I only go for Lightroom?
Or is the RAW processing (and the amount of functions of course) the exactly same as in PS CS 6?
Besides all the advantages of Phtoshop with Layers and all that of course.
But just in terms of opening and processing/adjusting RAW files:
Any differences?
Thanks a lot

Etobicoke residents warned of rash of break and enters
Chris Fox, CP24.com
Published Monday, July 8, 2013 7:21AM EDT
Last Updated Monday, July 8, 2013 7:39AM EDT
Police are warning residents in an Etobicoke neighbourhood to lock their doors and windows after a rash of break and enters over the weekend.
According to police, a suspect broke into a number of homes in the area of Berry Road and Parklawn Road early Sunday morning, gaining access through unlocked doors and windows.
Once inside, the suspect then rummaged through the homes for valuables while the owners slept.
The break and enters all took place between 12:55 a.m. and 3:30 a.m. and police are asking any neighbourhood residents with surveillance camera footage from that time period to come forward.
No arrests have been made in the case as of yet.
