Willard E. Crosby
BREWER - Willard E. Crosby, 86, passed away Dec. 31, 2013 at a Bangor health care center after a long illness. He was born Aug. 14, 1926, in Portland, the son of Roland Stanley Crosby and Jessie (Cochran) Crosby later of Eddington.
As a young man, he learned the electrical trade from his father and learned the workings of submarines in the Portsmouth, New Hampshire Naval Yard. Willard entered the Navy in 1944 and served in Japan on the U.S.S. St. Paul. He was honorably discharged in 1946 as Fireman 1st Class. He married Shirley Constance Russell in 1947 and together they had eight children. Willard started and ran his own business, Crosby's Electric, as a Master Electrician and taught the trade to two of his sons. Willard also enjoyed country music.
He is survived by Shirley, his devoted wife of 67 years; five children, Willard E. Crosby, II and his wife, Loretta, Steve A. Crosby and his wife, Kelly, Michael W. Crosby and his wife, Carolyn, Robert W. Crosby and Beverly A. Sawyer and her husband, Leland Sawyer; a sister Ruth Gagnon of New Hampshire. He will be especially missed by many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, a special friend Helen Jenkins and a former daughter-in-law, Ambie Crosby. He was predeceased by an infant son in 1948 and by two other sons, Scott A. Crosby in 1973 and Ronald M. Crosby in 2006 and by two sisters, Virginia and Bernice.
Willard's family will have a private service at a later date. For those who wish, memorial contributions may be made to the Alzheimer's Association, Maine Chapter, 383 US Route One, Suite 2C, Scarborough, ME 04074 or at

The business plan of Viva Macau airways felt perfect: become the easyJet of Asian debauchery and vice. Who in their right minds could doubt the logic of running no-frills budget flights from Australia, Vietnam, Japan and Indonesia directly into the throbbing hub of gambling, sex and entertainment (and organised crime) that is Macau?
Decking its fleet of aircraft with gaudy lime insignia, the bucket airline flew directly into Macau's cranky little airport. No more fiddling around with Hong Kong immigration and a long ferry ride across the bay; the trip from baggage reclaim to baccarat table or bordello could now

Phish just announced leg two of summer tour, with many rumored dates left out of the mix. It was also confirmed that Phish will not be touring in the fall, according to the band's Facebook page.
After Outside Lands announced their lineup, Phish followed closely behind by announcing 9 dates. According to their dates they will be starting on August 5 at The Gorge in Washington and ending with a three day run at UIC in Chicago from August 15 through 17.
Many heads were left scratching their heads when these dates were announced. Where are the east coast dates brah!? While many on the west coast are pleased, I'm sure there will be some anger about no SoCal dates.
Either way, this run looks like a lot of fun with some fantastic scenery.
Also, I still wouldn't rule out having a leg three announcement with Phish playing some highly rumored locations such at Hershey, PA, Saratoga, NY and Hartford Ct. Stay tuned!

Reuters Summit-California Favors Efficiency Over Alternative Energy
By Peter Henderson on September 9, 2009
California's chief climate change official on Wednesday sees a big need for small-scale clean energy like rooftop windmills and neighborhood solar power plants, but the state will gain more from efficiency than renewable power.
California legislators are debating whether to commit the state to getting 33 percent of its electricity from renewable power like solar and wind, which is already an informal part of the most populous U.S. state's landmark plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.
"We believe that most of the reductions (in emissions) coming from the electricity sector as a whole are going to come from energy efficiency and conservation rather than the introduction of renewables," Air Resources Board Chair Mary Nichols told the Reuters Global Climate and Alternative Energy Summit in San Francisco.

This has pretty much been my position on several prior posts! From MAPA and Hermandad
The Mexican American Political Association (MAPA) and the Hermandad Mexicana Latinoamericana make a call for full support for the students and youth who are demonstrating courage in the struggle for legislation that they interpret will provide them an option to obtain legal immigration status. The legislation is the Dream Act, which proposes to permit those students and youth who arrived to the U.S. at an early age without legal status, and have completed high school, the option to apply for legal status while attending college or serving some branch of the U.S. military.
Notwithstanding many concerns with the legislation raised by many organizations nationally, particularly those that oppose mandatory military service, obligatory military registration, the draft, and the use of the military, and war, to resolve international disputes, MAPA and HERMANDAD go on record in support of the youth who are defining their own options through courageous acts of political/civic action.
The Dream Act is not without controversy, however, and both MAPA and HERMANDAD have raised concerns about the legislation since the beginning. The original version of the Dream Act was actually the best in that it did not include military service as an option to obtain legal status, but instead listed the pursuit of higher education, which included vocational, and community service as the criteria to qualify for eligibility.
It is now no secret that the Pentagon had a hand in fashioning later versions of the legislation with the willing help of congressional legislators. Historically people of color have been easy prey for conscription, the draft, and even the "all-voluntary" military service considering the financial inducements on the one hand, and the dire poverty statistics of these communities on the other. The various branches of the U.S. military have experienced increasing difficulty in meeting their goals for recruitment, and in the face of multiple wars of a prolonged character, the military is hard-pressed to find sufficient willing adherents to its brassy and provocative slogans like "BE ALL YOU CAN BE."
It should also be acknowledged that the vast majority of immigrant youth, particularly Latino, do not and will not attend college (less than 10 percent), nearly 30 percent do not complete high school, and less than 40 percent who enter college do not complete the instructional program with a degree. These are horrific statistics on the down-side of this social dynamic that cannot and should not be ignored when we are considering immigration-related legislation to address the issue of legal status of our youth and family members.
It is for these reasons that MAPA and HERMANDAD only conditionally support the Dream Act, and advocate for the cleansing of the bill of its military service clause, or minimally return the community service option as an integral part of the legislation. When people talk of choice in the Dream Act, but ignore the statistics indicated above, and leave out of the legislation other viable alternatives such as community service to permit a path to legalization, in reality they are opposed to real choice and real options.
For now, however, we are called upon to support our youth and students who are defining the struggle for options by their courageous actions while we continue the debate about the best form of the Dream Act that should be enacted by the U.S. Congress.

Tonight's The Night (Gonna Be Alright)
Stay away from my window
Stay away from my back door too
Disconnect the telephone line
Relax baby and draw that blind
Kick off your shoes and sit right down
Loosen off that pretty French gown
Let me pour you a good long drink
Ooh baby don't you hesitate, ah
Tonight's the night
It's gonna be alright
Cause I love you girl/boy
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now, nobody
Come on angel my heart's on fire
Don't deny your man's desire
You'd be a fool to stop this tide
Spread your wings
And let me come inside, cause
Tonight's the night
It's gonna be alright
Cause I love you girl/boy
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now, nobody, nobody
Don't say a word my virgin child
Just let your inhibitions run wild
The secret is about to unfold
Upstairs before the night's too old, yeah
Tonight's the night
It's gonna be alright (it's gonna be alright)
Cause I love you girl/boy
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
Nobody, nobody Rod, nobody

All I have to say is, Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This has to be the funniest article i have seen in years! The Pharaonic Regime claims that Middle class jobs are coming back. Despite the fact its mostly low wage jobs that are being created. This has to be a prank!
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — The middle class may be starting to heal from a decades-long decline, President Obama's chief economic adviser said Thursday.
"While one should not expect problems that have been building for decades to be solved overnight, the record to date provides evidence that progress is being made," said Alan Krueger, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers.
Speaking at Columbia University, Krueger pointed to what he called "the middle-class jobs deficit."
"Simply put, for over a decade the economy has not been producing enough middle-class jobs," he said.
This can't be serious! It has to be joke or some kind of prank. The sad part is, the Pharaonic Regime will not be called on this lie.

e280 defective (floppy, lax) phone jack/dock. repairable?
look at this e280:
it works.. but as you can see, the "phone dock/jack" (i dont know how its called) its defective... actually, i can listen to the musics with no problems, but the phone connector can easily split out. its floppy/lax..
i got some questions then:
1 - its this component replaceable or repairable?
|[Remove Advertisement]
plz someone respond.
the wheel its also defective. your scroll it but it doesnt respond as it should be, just sometimes, u know?
i just want to know if everything is repairaple, because i will buy this mp3 for a very low price
Use this guide to clean the wheel.
I couldn't hear out of my left channel so I took Sansa apart. Turns out the pad had come off from the board. I removed headphones that was plugged in first to make the jack easier to remove. Then I pulled up on the phone jack and it slid up and off and upon further investigation I noticed that a transistor that was connected to the left channel was the actual part that came off from the board. I took matters into my own hands and decided to probe for the trace that lead to the left channel. I found it and soldered a thin wire ( I salvaged it from an old pair of headphones) to it and then to the left channel of the jack. Then I slipped the jack back onto the board (without the transistor, at least I think it's a transistor, it looks just like the black rectangle that has silver stripes on either end and w/o numbers next to where I soldered) and... wow it worked.
Here is a photo I took pointing out where each channel is on the board. I know it looks sloppy but I had a real crappy soldering iron.
EDIT: Since I listen to podcasts most of the time I don't care if I get mono sound out, but I don't want it coming out of only one earpiece. A less evasive solution could have been just jumpered the left and right signal by putting a thin wire between their two slots on top of the jack.... just a thought.
My Themes:
dancing cat Miss LED BECScope Mickey Heavy Metal
damn, i didnt understand a thing, but thanks (a lot) anyway.
btw: did you removed the phone jack and repaired? you installed a new one? sound quality was the same?
im thinking of grab some cash and buy this player for a very very low price compared to the brandnew one. its even cheaper than a new sansa c240 here (its cheaper than a 8gb microsd!).. but im thinking if it could be repairable.. with the help of my dad i could do soldering processes. i just want to know if any Phone Jack its equal to the others (i could simply get any electronic here and take the phone out)
because the problem of this player its not about "left channel" or "right channel", its about floppy and laxeness. The seller just told me it, i cant check it personally.. i will just need to risk it out (its 8gb!)
*ps: no cable included =s
i could just buy a c240 instead, but it might come in v2 version (no rockbox). this sansa im aiming, its v1.

Focus on Prices and Spending | Import and Export Prices | Volume 2, Number 13
Current Price Topics: A Rollercoaster Year for Export Agriculture Prices
U.S. agricultural exports had a volatile year in 2011. The price index for exported agricultural goods increased 9.4 percent during the first 6 months of the year, after rising 20.5 percent in 2010 and 9.2 percent in 2009. However, during the final 6 months of the year, agricultural goods prices sharply declined by 7.9 percent. The primary contributors to the rise and subsequent downturn were grains, oilseeds, and cotton. Corn, soybeans, wheat, and cotton all experienced an increase and then subsequent decline in prices during 2011. In each case, the volatility resulted from both supply and demand factors.
As seen in chart 1, after advancing 34.9 percent in 2010, the price index for corn reached a 2-year high at the beginning of 2011 and continued to rise steadily through June. The index increased 32.5 percent over the first 6 months of the year. Many of the same factors that drove up corn prices in 2010 continued to drive prices in 2011. On the supply side, Mexico, already one of the largest importers of grain, was forced to increase imports because freezing weather reduced the country's grain production by as much as 12 percent. [1] Cold and wet weather through much of the midwestern United States in April also helped drive corn prices higher as planting was delayed in many areas and total acreage planted was expected to fall. [2]
On the demand side, high demand for corn was also a major factor in the rise in corn prices during the first part of 2011. The increase in demand was especially acute for the feed corn needed to meet the growing demand for meat products in Asia. In addition, 38.5 percent of the corn usage during the 2010–2011 season went towards ethanol production, taking a large amount of corn off the world food market. [3]
In contrast to the first half of the year, the final 6 months of 2011 were marked by a large amount of volatility. At the end of the 2011, corn prices had fallen 18.6 percent, leaving an increase of only 7.9 percent for the year. Much of the second-half decline in the price of corn was attributable to an increase in supply, with U.S. farmers planting 91.92 million acres, the second highest amount of acreage since 1944. [4] The increase in acreage was a direct response to the high prices that prevailed at the end of 2010 and the beginning of 2011.
The price index for soybeans posted a large increase in 2010 and continued to rise over the first 6 months of 2011. Much of the increase in prices was because of a decrease in supplies of soybeans from the United States, the world's largest grower and exporter of soybeans. In October 2010, the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimated that inventories would be 265 million bushels in August 2011, but readjusted the estimate in November to 185 million bushels because of the vastly decreased harvest. [5] Strong international demand for soybeans for animal feed also helped push prices higher.
During the final 6 months of 2011, the price of soybeans fell 17.6 percent, and for the year it declined 11.8 percent. The annual decrease was in stark contrast to the previous 2 years when prices rose 23.4 percent and 26.6 percent, respectively. Although the U.S. harvest was small, record high soybean stocks in Brazil and Argentina boosted global supply and caused the price of soybeans to drop. [6]
In 2010, wheat prices increased 35.1 percent over the year, and they continued to rise 19.3 percent during the first 6 months of 2011, before declining 17.5 percent over the final 6 months of the year. Driving the massive increase in the price of wheat during 2010 was an export ban put in place by Russia as a means of protecting Russian consumers during a devastating drought. As a result of this ban, the United States exported even more wheat, sending more than 34 million metric tons abroad from June 2010 to May 2011. [7] The price of wheat began to decline in July 2011, and one of the major factors was the end of the Russian export ban. The return of Russian wheat to the international market alleviated the strain of a very tight market.
Of all of the large price increases of agricultural commodities in 2010, none was more pronounced than that of cotton. The United States is the world's largest exporter of cotton, [8] and the price index for cotton increased 153.8 percent from March 2010 to March 2011, with spot prices reaching levels not seen since the Reconstruction. (See chart 2.) The unprecedented increase in prices was brought about by supply shortages caused by adverse weather in the United States, China, and Pakistan, three of the top four cotton producing countries, as well as an export ban from India, the other country in the top four. [9] Global demand turned to the United States as a source of cotton, and exports increased to over 14 million bales. [10]
The price trend began to reverse in April 2011, and the price index for cotton declined 29.1 percent. The swift decline in prices was brought about by a sharp decline in demand. By July, imports of cotton to China, the world's largest consumer, declined 32 percent on a year-over-year basis. [11]
Current Price Trends: 2011 Price Highlights
Import Prices
Led by higher prices for both fuel and nonfuel prices, import prices increased for the third consecutive year in 2011, rising 8.5 percent after advancing 5.3 percent in 2010 and 8.6 percent in 2009. In early 2011 import prices followed the trend of the previous 2 years, rising 9.2 percent over the first 5 months of the year, but prices subsequently moderated and edged down 0.6 percent from May through December.

Fuel Import Prices
Import fuel prices rose 25.2 percent in 2011, after increasing 14.2 percent the previous year and 62.2 percent in 2009. Fuel prices increased 15.4 percent in the final quarter of 2010 and continued to rise 29.6 percent over the first 4 months of 2011. However, with the exception of a 3.7-percent upturn in November, prices for import fuel trended mostly downward the remainder of the year, decreasing 3.4 percent from April through December.
The price index for imported petroleum drove the overall increase in fuel prices in 2011, rising 27.4 percent for the year. That increase followed advances of 16.2 percent and 78.6 percent, respectively, in 2010 and 2009. The 2011 rise in petroleum prices primarily took place over the first 4 months of the year, when the index rose 31.2 percent. Both supply concerns resulting from political unrest in North Africa, and strong worldwide demand in early 2011, contributed to the higher prices. The political unrest began in January, when Egyptian citizens protested against the Egyptian government, leading to the resignation of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on February 11. [12] Although Egypt is a relatively small oil producer, there were fears that the turmoil might lead to disruptions in the traffic of oil passing through the Suez Canal into Europe. Even greater concern was caused by a brief civil war that broke out in Libya in February, which reduced Libyan oil exports from more than one and a half billion barrels a day before the crisis to 200,000 barrels a day by April. [13] Meanwhile, strong demand from OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries recovering from the recent economic downturn, a jump in demand from Japan following the devastating March earthquake, and growing demand from China also contributed to the rise in oil prices. [14]
The upward trend in petroleum prices came to an abrupt halt on May 5, 2011, when crude oil prices fell approximately 9 percent in 1 day. From May through December, the price index for imported petroleum fell 2.2 percent. Increased output from Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Kuwait, and Iraq largely offset the lost production from Libya. [15] Petroleum demand fell as a result of the jump in oil prices as well as worsening economic conditions. The biggest drop in demand came from the European Union, where the continuing European debt crisis brought into question the viability of the continuation of a single European currency. [16]The weakening euro helped push the value of the U.S. dollar up 5.2 percent between April and December, which also led to lower petroleum prices. [17]
For the year, natural gas prices fell 9.4 percent, somewhat offsetting the higher petroleum prices. The decline followed a 14.5-percent decrease in 2010 and marked the sixth consecutive year natural gas prices fell after peaking in 2005 in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Demand for natural gas remains low and working natural gas storage in the United States hit the highest monthly average on record at the end of October. [18]
Nonfuel Import Prices
Import prices excluding fuel also rose overall in 2011, advancing 3.4 percent for the year after recording a 3.0-percent increase in 2010. The 2011 rise was the largest calendar-year advance since the index was first published in December 2001. Chart 3 shows an increase in the price index for nonfuel industrial supplies and materials and a rise in consumer goods prices were the largest contributors to the overall advance in nonfuel prices, although prices for each of the other major import categories—foods, feeds, and beverages; automotive vehicles; and capital goods—all rose in 2011 as well.
Nonfuel industrial supplies and materials prices advanced 6.8 percent in 2011 after rising 12.2 percent the previous year. The 2011 increase was driven by an 8.8-percent jump over the first 5 months of the year before prices for nonfuel imports fell 1.8 percent between May and December. As was the case in 2010, higher prices for chemicals and unfinished metals were the largest contributors to the overall increase in nonfuel prices. Chemical prices advanced 9.2 percent over the first 5 months of the year and rose 11.7 percent overall in 2011. Unfinished metals prices advanced 4.8 percent in 2011, although the 14.5-percent rise between December 2010 and May was partially offset by an 8.4-percent drop in the index over the final 7 months of the year. Chemical prices rose because of higher prices for petroleum feedstocks while unfinished metals prices increased in large part because of a surge in gold prices. The price index for nonmonetary gold increased 26.7 percent in 2011 as the spot price of gold hit an intraday record of $1,923 per ounce in August. [19]
Prices for each of the major finished goods areas also advanced in 2011, with the price indexes for consumer goods and automotive vehicles recording the largest calendar-year increases since the early 1990s. Consumer goods prices rose 3.2 percent in 2011, the largest calendar-year increase since a 3.5-percent advance in 1990. Highlights included the increase in the index for cotton apparel prices, which rose 10.4 percent over the past year because of record cotton prices, which peaked in March, and the price index for coins, gems, jewelry, and collectables, which advanced 13.3 percent as a result of higher gold prices. Higher demand for passenger cars helped lead automotive vehicle prices up 3.7 percent in 2011, the largest calendar-year advance for that index since a 3.9-percent increase in 1993. [20] Capital goods prices also advanced in 2011, rising 0.9 percent.
The price index for foods, feeds, and beverages increased 6.3 percent in 2011, after a 13.2-percent advance in 2010. As was the case in 2010, higher coffee prices drove the overall rise in foods, feeds, and beverages prices, increasing 41.4 percent, following a 32.7-percent advance the previous year. Unlike 2010, though, when prices trended up throughout the year, the 2011 increase in coffee prices resulted from a 45.9-percent jump over the first 4 months of the year. From April through December, coffee prices fell 3.1 percent. Poor weather in Brazil, Columbia, and Vietnam, the world's three largest coffee producers, led to reduced output in 2010, which influenced prices into 2011. [21] However, improving conditions in the current growing season have halted the increasing price trend for coffee. [22]
Import Prices from China
Import prices from China rose 3.6 percent in 2011, the largest calendar-year advance since the index was first published in December 2003. The 2011 advance followed a 0.8-percent increase in 2010 and a 1.8-percent decline in 2009. On June 19, 2010, the Central Bank of China made an announcement that China would allow the yuan to float against the U.S. dollar. [23] Although prices for imports from China were mostly unchanged in the 3 months immediately following the announcement, the index rose 0.9 percent over the final quarter of 2010 before steadily trending up throughout 2011.
Export Prices
Export prices advanced 3.6 percent in 2011, after rising 6.5 percent the previous year. Similar to the increase for import prices, the increase in export prices in 2011 took place over first 4 months of the year, when export prices rose 4.9 percent. In contrast, the index declined 1.3 percent between April and December. Both agricultural and nonagricultural prices increased in 2011, rising 0.8 percent and 4.0 percent, respectively.
Nonagricultural Export Prices
The price index for nonagricultural exports advanced 4.0 percent over the past 12 months, following a 5.1-percent increase in 2010. Nonagricultural prices trended up over the first 3 quarters of 2011 before decreasing 1.7 percent during the final quarter of the year, making it the largest quarterly drop for the index since a 6.0-percent decrease during the fourth quarter of 2008. Chart 4 shows a 7.9-percent increase in the price index for nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials, the largest contributor to the overall advance in nonagricultural export prices, although prices for each of the major finished goods categories rose as well in 2011.
The 2011 increase in nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials prices followed a 13.5-percent rise in 2010, and was driven by a 12.1-percent advance between December 2010 and May. Higher prices for fuel, metals, and chemicals during the first half of 2011 led the increase in the price index for nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials. During the fourth quarter, however, the index fell 4.3 percent.
The price indexes for export consumer goods, automotive vehicles, and capital goods all rose in 2011, increasing 3.6 percent, 2.6 percent, and 0.7 percent, respectively. The advance in consumer goods prices was the largest calendar-year advance for the index since a 3.8-percent rise in 1990, while the 2011 increase in automotive vehicle prices was the largest calendar-year gain since a 2.8-percent advance in 1989.

text: [[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hentai_kamen.png]]Literally ''Perverted Mask'', ''Ultimate!! Hentai Kamen'' is a 6 volume {{manga}} by Keishuu Ando. Mild-mannered Kenpo specialist Kyosuke accidentally puts a pair of panties rather than a robbers mask on when he tries to sneak in and spoil a robbery. His mother's 'perverted blood' awakes within him, he strips, and the baddies are toast. [[HilarityEnsues Hijinks ensue]].It got adapted into a live-action movie in 2013.----!!Contains examples of:* AccidentalPervert: Often. It doesn't help that IJustWantToBeNormal Kyosuke has inherited his mom's S&M-lovin' genes...Come to think of it, it was an AccidentalPervert incident that created Hentai Kamen to begin with.* AdaptationalWimp: In the movie, Kyosuke initially pretty much sucks at martial arts, where in the manga he was one of the club's strongest members even as a rookie first-year.** AdaptationalBadass: Hentai Kamen, however, gets to benefit from ''this'' trope as he's shown dodging and even ''catching'' bullets at close-range.* AffectionateParody: The movie seems to take some pages out of Film/{{Spider-Man}}'s playbook, what with HK's whips being used in a similar manner to Spidey's webbing. There's also a montage of HK manga images at the start of the movie, similar to the opening MARVEL logo in Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse films. For that matter, HK in the manga is something of a parody of classic tokusatsu heroes, frequently breaking out in a SuperSentaiStance or similar AsskickingPose.* AllJustADream: [[spoiler:The ending of the live-action movie.]]* AllMenArePerverts: Sometimes. Especially when [[HelloNurse Shunka]] is involved.* AnAsskickingChristmas: the Christmas chapter in volume 2, of course.** CrucifiedHeroShot: Parodied during the Christmas episode, when Hentai Kamen swaps himself with the crucified Christ figure in a church, before laying his trademark perverted smackdown on a loan shark and his goons. While incidentally wearing a [[NiceHat Santa hat.]]* BadassNormal: Kyosuke becomes increasingly the most normal person (as his normal persona) with strength, although this starts to drain near the end.* CallingYourAttacks: Subverted, averted, inverted, lampshaded, and turned upside down. "Inferno Bullet Train", anyone?* CoolMask: Subverted.* CovertPervert / ChivalrousPervert: Kyousuke, Tengu Maru. Kamen is definitely the latter, using less gross techniques on women - although he's rarely in a position to fight them to begin with. He also can't figure out why people pass out when he walks so close...* DistractedByTheSexy: Shunka has a fighting style that intentionally invokes this in her enemies, and she uses it against Kyousuke in her first appearance: "Mysterious Shiki Style: [[IronicName Honorable Lusting Fists]]". Besides also being an ActionGirl, it probably goes without saying that she's MsFanservice.** HoistByHisOwnPetard: Of course, upon transforming into Hentai Kamen, he promptly turns the style right back at her.-->'''Hentai Kamen''': <strikes a pose> "[[IronicEcho Please feel anywhere you'd like!]]"* EverythingIsBetterWithSpinning: One of HK's finishing moves is him literally spinning with his groin on his opponent's face [[IncindiaryExponent while on fire]]. It goes to its logical extreme during the fight against the Fake Hentai Kamen, where they end up spinning groin-to-groin against each other in mid-air.* EvilCounterpart: The Fake Hentai Kamen shares most of HK's abilities, but actually relies on the frustration of not being able to fulfill his perversion, unlike HK who just lets his pervert side go wild.** To clarify, Fake/Bizarro Hentai Kamen is an even bigger pervert than HK, who gets off on being humiliated by those around him. [[EverybodyHasStandards Even HK finds this to be utterly disgusting]].* FinishingMove: see CallingYourAttacks. Unlike most examples, though, HK doesn't normally seem to repeat his Finishers, instead using a different technique for each battle.* GroinAttack: Goes both ways. Characters get hit in the groin, and Hentai Kamen himself tends to attack ''with'' his groin. * HeroicResolve: In the movie. "There's no law that says you're only as strong as you are perverted!"* HumongousMecha: [[spoiler: The villain busts one out at the end of the live-action movie]].** ShoutOut: [[spoiler: It looks like [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Evangelion Unit-01]] dressed up as a piece of heavy construction equipment.]]** [[spoiler: AntiClimaxBoss: HK lands a OneHitKill on it after [[EleventhHourSuperpower putting Aiko's panties on his face]].]]* InTheNameOfTheMoon: occasionally, like during the Christmas episode:-->'''Hentai Kamen:''' "The one who breaks the dreams of innocent children, Akutoku Fudosan! Hentai Kamen has descended from heaven to deal with [[GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger the likes of you!]]"* JawDrop: Many, many, many people, usually as their reaction to Hentai Kamen appearing before them.* ManInABikini: The titular mankini wearing/wielding hero of justice.* MaskPower: What else would you call it when a guy gets superpowers from wearing panties like a Lucha mask?* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: Whenever Kyosuke's detective instinct flares up (inherited from his father), it usually comes to him in the form of something "not smelling right". It comes to him in sound form during the second biker gang incident, though.* OhCrap: The usual expression of people who're about to go in to Kamen's underwear, face-first.* OnlySaneMan: Kyosuke and Aiko; mostly the former.* PaperThinDisguise: The Fake Hentai Kamen is obviously a middle-aged, scrawny man with a red/pink mankini, while HK is incredibly buff with a white mankini. People still get fooled.* PunchPunchPunchUhOh: The tournament, with the 100 Erupting Horsefly fists...getting tangled in Hentai Kamen's underwear straps. * RunningGag: Several; people's heads caught in Kamen's underwear (leading to facefaults/fainting from spectators); Shunka trying to pass off something good of Shuto's for something bad of hers, and then wrapping her brother's head in a large version of whatever it is when he corrects her; Aiko's crazy strength when it comes to Kyousuke; the Captain attacking, getting Ishida to root for him - only to realized that he's [[CampGay hitting on the opponent]].* ShipTease: Kyosuke/Aiko, Kyosuke/Shunka. He marries the [[spoiler: latter]] in the end.** Shunka doesn't appear in the film, but there are elements of Kyosuke/Aiko and Aiko/[[LovesMyAlterEgo Kyosuke]].* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Kyosuke's name has a drawn-out 'o' sound, so it's just as good to spell it Kyousuke, Kyohsuke, Kyoosuke, etc.* SplitPersonality: At one point in the film, Kyosuke has an argument with his HK persona inside his own mind.* SpoofAesop: In the live-action movie: "You don't need to be a pervert to be strong!".* TooKinkyToTorture: Just when a villain thinks HK is done for while his minions pummel him to the ground, he gets up and reveals being beat up arouses him, and as such gives him more power.* WidgetSeries: If the plot didn't tip you off that this series is a widget, then ''nothing'' will.* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Some of HK's moves have a vibe of this. Only they include more dick than usual.* XMeetsY: CaptainUnderpants, but with panties.----

Veracyte is planning to launch Allegro's lead lung cancer test in the second half of 2015. [Elnur - Fotolia.com]
Molecular cytology diagnostics firm Veracyte is acquiring Massachusetts-based company Allegro Diagnostics for $21 million—$7.8 million in cash, $13.2 million in Veracyte common stock. Allegro's primary focus is on developing diagnostic tests for lung cancer, and Veracyte plans to launch Allegro's lead lung cancer test in the second half of 2015.
Allegro say its lung cancer test can help physicians determine which patients with lung nodules who have had a nondiagnostic bronchoscopy result are at low risk for cancer and thus do not need invasive procedures. The gene expression test uses a "field of injury" genomic technology platform that allows for the testing of cytology samples obtained through bronchoscopy rather than surgery. The technology can, according to the firm, detect molecular changes that occur throughout the respiratory airways in response to smoking and that are correlated with disease.
Veracyte's president and CEO Bonnie H. Anderson said in a statement that this acquisition will allow the firm to enter the pulmonology market. "Allegro is a natural fit for us and we believe this move further establishes our leadership in molecular cytology, using genomics to resolve diagnostic ambiguity preoperatively and thus spare patients from unnecessary invasive procedures and reduce associated healthcare costs," she added.

Review: 'Madama Butterfly' production soars
By Christopher Hyde, Portland Press Herald, July 25, 2012
I have attended many of the productions staged at Merrill Auditorium by PORTopera, and this year's "Madama Butterfly" stands out as one of the finest.
Wednesday night's performance appeared to be entirely sold out, but good balcony seats are still available for today and should go fast.
One expects world-class singing from PORTopera, but artistic director Dona Vaughn has outdone herself this year in pulling everything together -- a gorgeous set, authentic costumes, lively stage direction and, most especially, near-perfect casting. The orchestra, under Stephen Lord, would grace the pit of the Metropolitan.
If I had one word to describe this production, it would be "intensity." The center of this feeling is Vaughn's concept of Cio-Cio San. A play called "Steel Magnolias" comes to mind.
Madam Butterfly is nobility personified, adamant in her ideas of love, loyalty and a better land beyond the sea. But she is never a victim, even in her suicide with an ancestral sword.
Soprano Inna Los as Cio-Cio San realized this concept to perfection. Her voice can be light and flirtatious in the upper registers and deadly serious in those closer to the spoken word, but always enchanting. She is also a fine actress, with telling small gestures, such as renouncing the cross and bowing to the old gods before her death.
Her strength of character is exemplified in the scene in which she waits all night for Lt. Pinkerton to arrive, standing rigid in one pose while those around her fall asleep. The vision lasts a long time, supported only by Puccini's music, but is central to her character.
Tenor Adam Diegel, as Pinkerton, portrayed a man gentler, more complex and conflicted than usual in this role. He is the real victim, flawed, conventional and falling short of Cio-Cio San's ideal. The voices of Diegel and Los were perfectly matched, making the duet "Viene la sera" a delight to hear again, in a new context.
Mezzo-soprano Heather Johnson was also fine as Suzuki, Cio-Cio San's strong support, even though she realizes that her ideals will never be realized. The scene in which she grabs the sleazy marriage broker, Goro (sung by tenor John McVeigh), by the ear and throws him down, managed to be both funny and telling.
My favorite in all productions of "Butterfly" is the Graham Green-like character, the American consul Sharpless, secretly as much in love with Cio-Cio San as her foolish suitor Prince Yamadori. He serves the function of a Greek chorus, predicting and trying in vain to avert the tragedy. Baritone Edward Parks was outstanding in this role.
All of the other characters were equally well cast, from Claire Caton, as Cio-Cio San's child Sorrow, to mezzo-soprano Eliza Bonet as Kate Pinkerton, revealing a (somewhat) warm heart under the most frivolous exterior.
A tragic evening ended in catharsis, with smiles, bravos and lots of bows by the excellent company.

T-Mobile cuts G1 prices – MyTouch 3G release imminent?
As of today, T-Mobile USA'a G1 Android smartphone costs only $149.99 with a 2-year contract agreement – a 25% drop from the initial $199.99 price.
All of G1's color versions (black, white and bronze) are available at the discounted price.
Of course, the G1 is cheaper if you buy it from Amazon (only $100), but since T-Mobile itself has cut prices, it means that the carrier's second Android phone is just around the corner.
After all, T-Mobile's CTO Cole Brodman did say that a new Android device will come in early summer.
Most probably, the new handset is the T-Mobile MyTouch 3G (aka HTC Magic in Europe), which we recently saw in several live pics.
Here's hoping that the MyTouch doesn't cost more than $200, and the launch of Samsung Bigfoot will follow soon.

Picking up two days after the events in the classic film The Raid: Redemption, Rama, the rookie cop is faced with saving his family. His brother has just been murdered and now he risks being attacked by crooked cops and the mob. Rama's activities at the dreaded apartment building from the first film is kept secret by a tough police unit that is trying to stop the corrupt cops, politicians, and mobsters.
Rama's only choice is to go deep undercover in prison and try to get close to the son of an Indonesian crime boss. Rama's family is moved to a safe location. But things don't go according to plan. Rama has to fight for his life in a fantastic fight taking place in a prison bathroom. Rama mercilessly beats the prisoners until their massive numbers overwhelm him. This gets the attention of Uco, the son of the local crime boss who is currently in the same prison.
Rama turns down an offer to join Uco; but ends up saving him, mistakenly thinking that a courtyard attack is for the undercover officer. The courtyard battle is an excellent example of straight-on, realistic fighting. No wires, no ridiculous techniques. It's an all out fight between prisoners attacking prisoners, guards, and this all happens in the muddiest yard you've ever seen.
Rama is eventually released two years later; he was planning to only be in for a few months. Uco, greatful for Rama saving his life, has worked out a deal with his dad to take the undercover officer into the family. Of course Rama still has to earn the trust of Bangun, even if he did save the boss's son.
The young officer works tiredlessly to gather evidence for Bunawar, the taks force superior. Bunawar convinces Rama to dig even deeper to fish out all the corrupt officers. This puts Rama into conflict with not only protecting his family, but how far he has to go to complete his mission.
At the same time, Uco is plotting with another crime figure to take over his father's operations. The goal is to start a gang war between the Japanese Yakuza and Indonesian mob; which has had peace for ten years.
Unlike the original Raid, this time there is more vulgar language and sexual situations. And the edge of your seat tension is not present as before. But once the action kicks in, you will jump out of your seat at the sheer viciousness in the fighting. And anything is a deadly weapon. One hitman uses a baseball and bat. And when he asks you to return the ball, you better comply.
Another hitwoman uses two hammers in a way that will make you look twice at the tool. But you will also think, "Yeah I would do the same thing if that was my weapon." You will see moves you have never seen before. And even knife techniques that are unique to the style of the Raid movies. A sequel worth watching. Just have a strong stomach.

Boston Winter Engagements Part Deux
It never ceases to amaze me that folks will do engagement sessions during snowstorms, blizzards and anything else that may arise. We love it. There is always something to be had in even the worst of conditions.
Blaine and Sam are up here from Texas, great couple, lots of energy. Sam didn't even bring a jacket. We guess that nobody told him it was cold up here. But he did quite well for a Southerner, didn't complain once!
Kali and Phil are like our dream engagement couple. Heavily invested in their photos, know what they like – have the ability to describe it. And are genuinely in love. What more can we ask for? I mean really…
And of course the requisite baby photos during winter. She's a cutie isn't she?

Just beautiful. You captured the feeling of each couple very well. I love all of it, especially the little girl.
I've never been to Boston, but it looks like you got some unique locations for photos. Great ally photo. Textures of the brick look great.

Jonathan Roniger began the evening with original tunes that had a slightly Dylanesque feel. Jon originally from New Orleans spent 10 years in San Francisco gigging and writing songs.
Jon's songs reflected the moments of introspection and the captivating thoughts of shining moments. Only Human is one of the tunes Jon shared. Sweet honest and reminding the listener of the power of love. Jon has a website at :http://www.jonringier.com.
Monique Maffei was up next with her compositions including a song about her Dad of seeing him grow from boyhood to a the man he becomes. Very poignant and great vocal range engaging the listener. Another song was of commitment, I do, I will, I can very powerful and positive has strong projection and writes with sensitivity and passion of purpose.
Monique grew up in southern California and raised by a musical family she has been involved since childhood. Monique's websites are: http://www.facebook.com/moniquemaffei and http://www.myspace.com/moniquemaffei.
Stephanie Walker is originally from Iowa playing and enjoying music since childhood. Stephanie moved to Nashville to pursue the music business after graduating from college with a degree in finance. Stephanie has a bluesy country sound with songs See Ya, Where Was She, You Show Me Yours, I'll Show You Mine.

It looks like a software update has come (or is coming) available for those sporting a Verizon compatible Galaxy Nexus. The update will arrive as Android 4.0.4 IMM30B and so far the details are rather scarce. What we have seen is coming from the users over on the Android Central Forums. Bottom line, it looks like only a few users have received the update notification and unfortunately — we have yet to see anything from Verizon and/or Google in terms of a changelog. But on the flip side — we have yet to see anything in terms of trouble after the 4.0.4 IMM30B update has been applied. Could be that this update is still in an early testing/roll-out stage and has only been sent for a small group of users. And lastly, if nothing else, this news of an update for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus is nice to see, especially after the recent Google dropping support for CDMA devices scandal.

The Old Market is Dead, Long Live Carré Eden!
Tuesday, June 17th, 2014
The Old Market is Dead, Long Live Carré Eden!
After six years in the pipeline and only a few months behind schedule, the Carré Eden Shopping Center opened with great pomp on May 8, 2014 right in the heart of Marrakech's New Town District, aka Gueliz. This multi-purpose complex has been built in place of the Old Market, which belonged to the City Council and was torn down back in 2007. At the time, flower and fresh produce stalls were moved at a stone's throw, to Rue Ibn Toumert, where they still are doing business until further notice.
The 1+-billion-Dirham (€100M) and 100,000 sqm. (108,000 sq. ft.) project was initiated by French art collector and lover of the Red City, Xavier Guerrand-Hermès from the Hermès family, and designed by Casablanca-born architect Karim El Achak, who has been living in Marrakech for over twenty years now. The idea behind the scenes was to boost the heart of an ever-changing City that has gradually gain international stature, while providing it with a unique offering in terms of shopping experience.
The mall has a Starbucks Café -a Marrakech premiere- and a Nespresso store, as well as sixty other shops with such leading international brands of fashionable ready-to-wear and sportswear as Adidas, Lacoste, Guess, LC Waïkiki, Springfield, Orchestra and Gant, as well as of cosmetics, like Yves Rocher. The Swedish flagship store H&M is spread over the three floors of the shopping center. On the basement there are a well-stocked Carrefour Market convenience store and 600 underground parking space. The top floor is mostly dedicated to the Food Court, with takeaway restaurants like Domino's Pizza, Sushi Club and Wok-to-Walk.
Besides, the residential center will soon be complete: eighty one- and two-floory apartments and a 5-star Radisson Blu hotel, fitted with 200 rooms and suites and a rooftop swimming pool. So far, 80% of the complex are said to be sold or rent.
Although 100 years old, the alive-and-kicking new part of Marrakech is gradually turning into a hype city in itself, with wide avenues, traffic jams and well-maintained parks, such as Jardin Majorelle and the Cyber Park. Before that, one remembers a small town with villas, leather shops and the Old Market. That was it!
The sky is the limit; let's hope the very essence of Marrakech will remain unchanged. Carré Eden helps preserve its architectural legacy because it blends in very well with the Red City.

Get Beach Waves Using Your Flat Iron!
This entry was posted on June 26, 2013.
Beach waves are a favorite go-to style for most ladies, especially during the summer months. It is such an easy, effortless style that can be dressed up for glamour or dressed down for a more casual look. Some get their beach wave hairstyle using a curling wand, but everyone may not own a curling wand or if travelling, may not have had room to pack an additional hair tool. But most women have at the very least a flat iron, right?
Well, celebrity hairstylist Angela Christine of WEtv's hit show LA Hair shows us how to achieve a gorgeous beach wave hairstyle using just your flat iron! She begins by blow drying the hair extensions of her client, showing that this style can be done while wearing straight, wavy or curly extensions - simply straighten the hair with a light blow out. Next, separate a section of hair and fashion it into a pin curl by rolling the hair around two (or three) of your fingers. Once you've rolled to almost your scalp, remove your fingers and press the pin curled hair between the plates of your flat iron for five to ten seconds to create the wave. Allow the hair to drop and move on to the next section until your entire head is curled. Rake through with your fingers to generate perfectly messy beach waves and finish with a bit of holding spray. Watch as Angela demonstrates below:

City of Wilmington Launches 2014 Senior Fan Drive
Posted on 06/17/2014 11:16 am
Today, the City of Wilmington begins the 2014 Senior Fan Drive, where senior citizens who cannot afford or do not have access to a fan or air conditioning system can receive relief and combat the rising temperatures of the summer season.
"What may just feel like a warm day to some, can be life threatening to our seniors or those with respiratory ailments," said Jill Morrison, Director of Constituent Services. "Hopefully these fans can provide some relief to members of our senior citizen community."
The annual Fan Drive serves senior citizens and individuals with respiratory problems to ensure they have the necessary resources to fight the summer heat. Dangerously high temperatures can lead to heat cramps, heat exhaustion, or more severely, heat strokes.
"As summer approaches and temperatures rise, we must take care of our seniors and those in need by providing fans and the necessary resources so they can safely and comfortably beat the heat," said Mayor Dennis P. Williams. "I would like to thank our Office of Constituent Services for working with community partners in supporting our efforts to offer comfort and support to our seniors during this upcoming summer season."
To qualify to receive a fan, applicants:
- Must reside in the City of Wilmington.

Ever wondered what the story is behind the famous Anonymous mask? It is a cartoon like man with a pointy beard, closed mouth smile and mysterious eyes…
It comes from a guy back in 1605, Guy Fawkes, an Englishman who tried to bomb the British Parliament on Nov. 5, 1605…
One protester Alexandra Ricciardelli said they are very meaningful mask, "It's not about bombing anything; it's about being anonymous — and peaceful."
To another guy from Keyport, N.J., the Fawkes mask "is about being against The Man — the power that keeps you down."
A nearly 30-year-old graphic novel and a five-year-old movie led to the mask popularity, the movie was based on a violent anarchist anti-hero guy who fashioned himself as a modern-day Guy Fawkes who rebels against a fascist government.
Warner Brothers holds the licensing rights to the Guy Fawkes mask, several protesters said they were using foreign-made copies to circumvent the corporation.
After the book and the movie People began thinking of Fawkes as a libertarian or even anarchist hero.
The Mask carries a stronger connotationsthan some of the Occupy protesters seem to understand.
While Fawkes' image has been romanticized over the past 400 years, he was a criminal who tried to blow up a government building. Sounds a lot like Bill Ayers……It would be hard to imagine Americans one day wearing Timothy McVeigh masks to protest the government or corporate greed.
Before the movie he was originally seen as a terrorist trying to destroy England. Now he's seen more as a freedom fighter, a fighter for individual liberty against an oppressive regime. The political meaning of that figure has transformed."
Nearly two years after the film "V for Vendetta" was released, the hacker group Anonymous wore the Guy Fawkes masks depicted in the movie during protests against the Church of Scientology. Then came Wikileaks and the Occupy movement.
Fawkes was executed for the bombing attempt. In the years immediately following his execution, Nov. 5 was England's official celebration for defeating Fawkes…
At Zuccotti Park in New York, the Guy Fawkes masks have been worn over the past month by Occupy protesters ranging from self-proclaimed anarchists to drummers to those impersonating "zombie" bankers.
How sad it is to try to unify the world under one symbol that represents terrorism and murder…
