The Best American Crime Reporting 2009by Jeffrey Toobin Otto Penzler Thomas H. Cook
Thieves, liars, and killers--it's a criminal world out there, and someone has to write about it. A thrilling collection of the year's best reportage by the aces of the true-crime genre, The Best American Crime Reporting 2009 brings together the mysteries and missteps of an eclectic and unforgettable set of criminals. Gripping, suspenseful, and brilliant, this latest addition to the highly acclaimed series features guest editor Jeffrey Toobin, New Yorker staff writer, CNN senior legal analyst, and bestselling author of The Nine.
The Nineby Jeffrey Toobin
InThe Nine, acclaimed journalist Jeffrey Toobin takes us into the chambers of the most important--and secret--legal body in our country, the Supreme Court, revealing the complex dynamic among the nine people who decide the law of the land. An institution at a moment of transition, the Court now stands at a crucial point, with major changes in store on such issues as abortion, civil rights, and church-state relations. Based on exclusive interviews with the justices and with a keen sense of the Court's history and the trajectory of its future, Jeffrey Toobin creates inThe Ninea riveting story of one of the most important forces in American life today.
The Oath: The Obama White House and the Supreme Courtby Jeffrey Toobin
From the prizewinning author of The Nine, a gripping insider's account of the momentous ideological war between the John Roberts Supreme Court and the Obama administration. From the moment John Roberts, the chief justice of the United States, blundered through the Oath of Office at Barack Obama's inauguration, the relationship between the Supreme Court and the White House has been confrontational. Both men are young, brilliant, charismatic, charming, determined to change the course of the nation--and completely at odds on almost every major constitutional issue. One is radical; one essentially conservative. The surprise is that Obama is the conservative--a believer in incremental change, compromise, and pragmatism over ideology. Roberts--and his allies on the Court--seek to overturn decades of precedent: in short, to undo the ultimate victory FDR achieved in the New Deal. This ideological war will crescendo during the 2011-2012 term, in which several landmark cases are on the Court's docket--most crucially, a challenge to Obama's controversial health-care legislation. With four new justices joining the Court in just five years, including Obama's appointees Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, this is a dramatically--and historically--different Supreme Court, playing for the highest of stakes. No one is better positioned to chronicle this dramatic tale than Jeffrey Toobin, whose prize-winning bestseller The Nine laid bare the inner workings and conflicts of the Court in meticulous and entertaining detail. As the nation prepares to vote for President in 2012, the future of the Supreme Court will also be on the ballot.
The Run of His Lifeby Jeffrey Toobin
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The inspiration for the first season of American Crime Story on FX, starring Cuba Gooding, Jr., John Travolta, David Schwimmer, and Connie Britton The definitive account of the O. J. Simpson trial, The Run of His Life is a prodigious feat of reporting that could have been written only by the foremost legal journalist of our time. First published less than a year after the infamous verdict, Jeffrey Toobin's nonfiction masterpiece tells the whole story, from the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman to the ruthless gamesmanship behind the scenes of "the trial of the century." Rich in character, as propulsive as a legal thriller, this enduring narrative continues to shock and fascinate with its candid depiction of the human drama that upended American life. Praise for The Run of His Life "This is the book to read."--Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "This book stands out as a gripping and colorful account of the crime and trial that captured the world's attention."--Boston Sunday Globe "A real page-turner . . . strips away the months of circuslike televised proceedings and the sordid tell-all books and lays out a simple, but devastating, synopsis of the case."--Entertainment Weekly "A well-written, profoundly rational analysis of the trial and, more specifically, the lawyers who conducted it."--USA Today "Engrossing . . . Toobin's insight into the motives and mind-set of key players sets this Simpson book apart from the pack."--People (one of the top ten books of the year)
Too Close to Call: The Thirty-Six-Day Battle to Decide the 2000 Electionby Jeffrey Toobin
From the best-selling author of A Vast Conspiracy and The Run of His Life comes Too Close to Call--the definitive story of the Bush-Gore presidential recount. A political and legal analyst of unparalleled journalistic skill, Jeffrey Toobin is the ideal writer to distill the events of the thirty-six anxiety-filled days that culminated in one of the most stunning Supreme Court decisions in history.<P><P> Packed with news-making disclosures and written with the drive of a legal thriller, Too Close to Call takes us inside James Baker's private jet, through the locked gates to Al Gore's mansion, behind the covered-up windows of Katherine Harris's office, and even into the secret conference room of the United States Supreme Court. As the scene shifts from Washington to Austin and into the remote corners of the enduringly strange Sunshine State, Toobin's book will transform what you thought you knew about the most extraordinary political drama in American history.<P> The Florida recount unfolded in a kaleidoscopic maze of bizarre concepts (chads, pregnant and otherwise), unfamiliar people in critically important positions (the Florida Supreme Court), and familiar people in surprising new places (the Miami relatives of Elián González, in a previously undisclosed role in this melodrama). With the rich characterization that is his trademark, Toobin portrays the prominent strategists who masterminded the campaigns--the Daleys and the Roves--and also the lesser-known but influential players who pulled the strings, as well as the judges and justices whose decisions determined the final outcome. Toobin gives both camps a treatment they have not yet received--remarkably evenhanded, nonpartisan, and entirely new.<P> The post-election period posed a challenge to even the most zealous news junkie: how to keep up with what was happening and sort out the important from the trivial. Jeffrey Toobin has now done this--and then some. With clarity, insight, humor, and a deep understanding of the law, he deconstructs the events, the players, and the often Byzantine intricacies of our judicial system. A remarkable account of one of the most significant periods in our country's history, Too Close to Call is endlessly surprising, frequently poignant, and wholly addictive.

Motorola Pro+ pre-orders start in the UK, expected to ship in late October
Back in February during MWC, Motorola unveiled the Pro, which was basically a Droid Pro set for international release. However, many months have passed without the phone becoming available anywhere, so we were wondering what happened to it when, a couple of days ago, Motorola decided to clear the air. And it did so by announcing the Motorola Pro+, an upgraded version of the Pro.
So now it's back to the waiting game. In the UK, you can already pre-order the Pro+ if you so wish. Well-known online mobile retailer Clove has put the smartphone up for grabs for a price of £420. Obviously that will net you a SIM-free and unlocked handset.
The first shipments are expected to go out in late October or early November, so it's pretty clear that you will be able to get this as a holiday gift if you want to.
Just keep in mind that for now both the pricing and the shipping info isn't officially confirmed by Motorola, so things may change a bit here or there. Of course, if you simply don't mind that and need to be among the first individuals in the UK to get your mitts on the Pro+, Clove is waiting for your pre-order. Do what you gotta do.
The Motorola Pro+ has a 3.1-inch 640×480 touchscreen, a full physical QWERTY keyboard underneath that screen, a 1 GHz processor, a 5 MP autofocus camera with dual-LED flash, 512 MB of RAM, 4 GB of built-in storage, microSD card support, 14.4 Mbps HSDPA, 2 Mbps HSUPA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and a 1600 mAh battery. It will run Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

Robbie's super-sized World Tour will finish in Australia
Robbie Williams, music's man with the Midas touch who shattered the Guinness Book of World Records for the fastest, and largest, number of concert tickets ever sold in one day — 1.6 million when the European leg of his World Tour went on sale in November 2005 — is confirmed to tour Australia and will end his World Tour, Robbie Williams: Close Encounters, here.
Promoter, Michael Chugg, today announced that the "world's favourite entertainer and most dynamic showman ever seen", would perform stadiums in December, playing the country's five major capital cities.
The "let me entertain you" stadium-pop giant includes Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane for the first time in five years, and plays Sydney and Melbourne.
At Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium, Robbie will be the first international act to make use of its concert potential and big-crowd facilities.
Chugg says of the concert coup of the year that "the country is expected to join the ticket-selling phenomenon already experienced in every territory where Robbie Williams' concerts have gone on sale."
He sold out five London shows, each with a capacity of 75,000. His Leeds' concert sold out in 90 minutes. Holland sold-out their four Amsterdam Arena gigs in a breath-taking 89 minutes. In Germany a mass of 20,000 fans braved the cold to line the streets of Munich waiting for tickets to go on sale at midnight!
To cope with demand, and in an unprecedented Australian first, tickets will go on sale across two days.
Sydney, sold via Ticketek, and Melbourne via Ticketmaster, go on sale June 6.
Adelaide and Brisbane both from Ticketek, and Perth from Ticketmaster, follow on June 7.
"Alternating the ticketing outlets on different days, in different cities, will provide the best buying opportunities for fans," said Chugg.
Tickets will be sold with a strict six ticket per transaction limit. An internet pre-sale through robbiewilliams.com Inner Sanctum is scheduled from May 25.
Record-breaking ticket sales are expected for what will be biggest stadium production show to ever tour Australia.
"This is a rare occasion where Australia gets the exact concert that will be seen in the Northern Hemisphere," say Chugg.
"Because of the size and complexity of this technological monster, they'll be bringing two stage roofs and rigs from the UK which will run in tandem and leap-frog across the country."
57 semi-trailers will be on the road. 30 steel containers and 27 trucks will transport staging, production and the six 400amp generators needed to power the pop-hunk's super-sized show in Australia.
Robbie's World Tour starts in Dublin on June 9 and visits 14 countries on 44 different dates and will finish in Australia. It is estimated his live audience will total 2.6 million.
Chugg concludes, "I am very excited that Robbie, whose love for Australia is well known, has agreed to play our major cities."
Each of the stadium concerts will be a combination of general admission (GA) tickets and allocated seats in the stands. No alcohol or bottles (including plastic) will be permitted in the GA areas. Pocket-size and mobile phone cameras will be permitted.
Concert information like maps, arrival and departure times, and public transport options will be broadcast and printed in local media closer to each concert date.
The 50-million-world-wide-album-seller topped the charts in 18 countries with his latest, Intensive Care. The new single, Sin Sin Sin is out in Australia June 3.
In a story of unparalleled success this Australian tour will ink another chapter in the story that is Robbie Williams.
Don't miss your chance to be a part of pop history-in-the-making!

Need a new pair of sturdy wear-everyday sunglasses? We do. This right here folks, is the new pair to wear of the season. These Persol Folding Frame Sunglasses ($260) are very neutral and very retro-chic in the best of ways. We love the gold hardware on the side and the aviator-esque shape, but we mostly love just how classic they are. They aren't too flashy or so trendy that they'll go out of style in a flash.
I'd totally recommend these. I own a pair of Persols and they were so worth the pricey. Sturdy, lightweight on my face, and stylish without being flashy.

Jefferson County officials appear to have conflicting opinions about District Attorney Scott Storey's bid to extend term limits for his office.
It's that time of the decade again — the federal government is sending out an army of workers to begin taking the 2010 census.
Workers will start by conducting an address survey to make sure every address in America is accounted for so surveys can be mailed to those homes in 2010.
And so, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office is trying to head off calls about strange people cruising neighborhoods or trying to get into gated communities.
A principal at a Christian school in Morrison has been arrested on suspicion of sexual assault on a child.
Daniel Charles Brock, 35, of Littleton has been under investigation since February when a staff member at Silver State Christian School contacted the Morrison Police Department with concerns about Brock's relationship with one of the students.
Investigators believe Brock is on administrative leave from the school.
Brock will be held without bond until his advisement on April 13 at 10 a.m.
Friends of Sean Graves are quick to say that he'll do anything to help others — except give them the shirt off his back.
To hide the scars from bullets that struck him during the Columbine High shootings 10 years ago, Graves always keeps his shirt on. He doesn't want others to see the scars and make pre-judgments. He doesn't want them to know that he almost bled to death.
But most of all, Graves doesn't want people to connect him to the Columbine massacre and be tempted to ask questions about the worst day of his life.
Colorado businesses will save roughly $10 million a year if the state eliminates a 3 percent worker-compensation surcharge, says South Jeffco's state senator.
Republican Sen. Mike Kopp, who is pushing the legislation, says the fee is unnecessary, and his bill to eliminate it cruised through the Senate and is now in the House.
The community orchard that started as a seed of hope in Shirl Smith's heart is coming to fruition.
Four planter beds and rows of wooden stakes crisscross a vacant field just southeast of Waterstone Community Church on West Bowles Avenue. More than 130 trees will be planted within the next week or two, transforming the field into a patch of life and hope.
As the 10th anniversary of the Columbine High shootings approaches, two Columbine students want everyone to know that they're done.
"We are done with all the drama," said Beau Loendorf, a Columbine High senior. "We are done with the hate."
And so Loendorf and Columbine sophomore Olivia Leyshock are organizing a "Day Without Hate." The pair hope the event, scheduled for May 1, will inspire students to forgo their cliques, forget about petty conflicts, and realize there's no need for division.
Six people accused of operating an ID theft ring and stealing more than $11,000 were indicted by a Jeffco grand jury March 31.
The ring used stolen checks, credit cards and gift cards to get cash, and electronics, jewelry and other items were also taken, said Jeffco District Attorney Scott Storey. The thefts allegedly occurred between September 2008 and December 2008.
The victims include 17 people, Target, King Soopers, Walmart, Lakewood Christian Church, Bellco Credit Union and several banks where stolen and forged checks were cashed, Storey said.
Jeffco Public Schools officials are still waiting for direction on how federal stimulus money will flow to the district nearly two months after President Barack Obama signed the $787 billion package into law.
But Jeffco Superintendent Cindy Stevenson says the district will be ready to move on several programs once the money hits the district's coffers, which may be sooner rather than later.
Colorado's largest school district has several programs it wants to expand once the estimated $23 million in federal stimulus money shows up.
Jefferson County should borrow $60 million to $65 million for projects such as a $40 million jail expansion and a $6.5 million building to house the health department and the clerk and recorder.

Decrying estimates that "scores of thousands of Connecticut residents failed to register their military-style assault weapons with state police by Dec. 31," The Hartford Courant published an editorial Friday declaring "State Can't Let Gun Scofflaws Off Hook.
Aware that "willful noncompliance ... is doubtless a major issue," The Courant floated the wishful thinking "that many gun owners are unaware of their obligation to register military-style assault weapons and would do so if given another chance.
"But the bottom line is that the state must try to enforce the law," The Courant concluded, calling on the state to use the "background check database" to identify who has not obeyed, and to go and get them.
If ever there was proof that citizen disarmament demanders are lying when they scoff at legitimate fears that background checks provide a registration capability, this is it. And if ever there was further corroboration that they intend using that registration to enable confiscation, The Courant just removed all doubt.
"If you want to disobey the law, you should be prepared to face the consequences," they pronounce.
Perhaps The Courant's editors and those they're egging on would do well to also consider consequences those who want to enforce the law should be prepared to face, as Mike Vanderboegh explained in an open letter to the Connecticut State Police posted this morning on the Sipsey Street Irregulars blog.
Citing a Feb. 10 article in which The Courant estimated "as of Jan. 1, Connecticut has very likely created tens of thousands of newly minted criminals -- perhaps 100,000 people, almost certainly at least 20,000," Vanderboegh went on to note "CSP currently has around 1,248 troopers."
Simply as a matter of resources and logistics, the state will be hard-pressed to allocate the manpower, budget, jail facilities and court case load capabilities to do more than scratch the surface to try to frighten everyone by making examples of a few. If The Courant is going to demand they apply those resources to all, perhaps the editors would flesh out what compliance with their call to action consists of, starting with realistic costs to arrest, prosecute and incarcerate every noncompliant gun owner, the number of total hours and dedicated personnel needed to execute that plan, how many decades it will take to accomplish, how many businesses will be disrupted by losing valuable employees, how much tax revenue the state will lose by taking productive taxpayers out of circulation and turning them into dependents, how many families will be forced into dependency to further burden assistance rolls, and what violent criminals who prey on victims are going to be doing while the state dedicates all those resources to destroying all those principled citizens their edicts turned into overnight "felons."
Logistical considerations aside, have The Courant editors got an estimate for how many heretofore law-abiding gun owners the state will need to actually kill before their demands can be met? And that's all assuming those defying the edict on principle are willing to allow a force they so demonstrably outnumber to destroy their lives. When faced with utter financial ruin, the effects of punishment extracted on themselves and their families, the lifetime criminal record, the lifetime ban on a right that supposedly "shall not be infringed," and the prospects of being locked up for years with psychotic and dangerous violent criminal scum in institutions where terrifying brutality, prison rape, head-busting guards and total loss of personal freedom are all daily realities, it's not unreasonable to ask why would anyone go gentle into that good night.
Well, they could just surrender and save themselves all that, some will no doubt answer.
True, and some no doubt will. But then, what good would the Second Amendment be if Americans just surrendered their guns when ordered to? The lesson of Captain Parker is not lost on some.
Has The Courant got a plan for when a percentage of Connecticut gun owners -- and it needn't be more than, say three percent -- meets the order to surrender or be destroyed with defiance? Have they, along with Gov. Malloy and his enforcer Mike Lawlor, considered what their next move will be when that determined minority answers back that the state is going to need to do things the hard way?
And have they considered what having their bluff called will do to produce an epiphany, and embolden gun owners everywhere, when it suddenly becomes clear to all who holds the true power in this country if they would only first realize and then exercise it?

I met the Gourmet Garden Herbs and Spices team when I was at Food Blog South earlier this year. Now I've known about Gourmet Garden for years having seen the tubes in the herb section of the produce aisle at my grocery store. However – true confession time – I'd never used their product! So I was thrilled when they sent me a full set of 11 Gourmet Garden tubes to try out.
I'm so glad they did because I now ADORE Gourmet Garden for so many reasons. Here are a few:
- Eliminates waste – Ever buy a bunch of cilantro only to use a small portion and have the rest turn into a science experiment at the bottom of your vegetable drawer? Gourmet Garden Herbs and Spices last up to three months in your refrigerator.
- Easy to use – When you're rushing to get dinner on the table, it's so easy to squeeze a bit of garlic or basil into a measuring spoon to add to whatever you're making.

|Ideas and Suggestions Want To Help Red Orchestra Get Better? Share Your Wisdom Here

(First, let me apologize if someone has suggested this before. I checked thread titles over the past six months, and I didn't see it, but it might have been suggested in an older thread.)
A few mod maps lately have had Axis troops armed with Allied weapons. Pariser Platz, for example, had Volksturm infantry armed with Russian rifles, while another newer map has German anti-tank troops armed with Russian AT rifles.
In light of this development, I'm surprised that nobody seems to have suggested adding the MP-41(r)--captured PPSh-41 SMG's converted to fire 9mm from 32-round MP-40 stick magazines.
It seems to me that this would be a very easy weapon to model--just a PPSh-41 with magazine adaptor and stick magazine, firing 9mm rounds. And, when available, it would give Axis assault troopers and Squad Leaders a real, substantial choice when it comes to SMGs.
I may be mistaken, but the differences between the MP-40 and the MP-41 seem to be merely cosmetic. I haven't noticed a difference in rate of fire or accuracy.
The MP-41(r), by contrast, would have a higher rate of fire than either of the German designs. Its Axis users could enjoy some of that quick-firing goodness, without having to pick up an enemy SMG--but with the disadvantage of having to change magazines more often than their Allied counterparts with their high-capacity drums.
And surely, the MP-41(r) was at least as widely available as the MP-41, which seems to have seen very limited service.
During the mod days the mp41 was the best smg but i still think that there is a minor difference now although the difference has been reduced.
Hail and Kill
^Really? Well, in any case, the difference between the MP-40 and the MP-41(r) would be much greater--at least as great as the difference between the PPD-40 and the PPSh-41.
If you think about it why should there be a difference in accuracy or rate of fire? It is or was nearly the same gun. If you have the opinion that there should be a difference you also could make random code difference to potrait individual weapons because manufacturing quality is varies.
Imo this would be pointless
Imo the Mp41 is superior in hipshooting (less recoil) but that is my personal taste.
Adding weapons in RO needs a lot of hard work by a team of people!
You need a third person model
a first person model
an Iron Sight model
textures for all these models
animations for the weapon
and the RO player moder
weapon code
Then you have to bug test the toy and you need a map where you can play with it
And it doesn't make a difference if the models look similar
Maybe I missed a step but you should have gotten the idea.
Peace has cost you your strength! Victory has defeated you! - Bane
And to add insult to injury (as Ketch already mentioned), if we really go there, it is possible that there is a chance to even some "insane" fire rate diffrences just between few models. While yes, they are all extreme examples, good example is the debate of MG42 fire rate. It is possible that it varied between like 900 - 1500 RPM based on invidual model. 1200 is just simple (and accepted) estimate that can be both correct and wrong, depending on the model itself.
You never know what happens in the factories during the war. Original gear (or armanent) can be extremely ****ed up or have some other funny stuff around. Or have some variations you would never have seen coming in the first place.
There was a signature here, but it's gone now.
I don't understand the point to either of these posts.
First: if the MP41 really was practically the same gun as the MP40--if the differences between the two make no difference to gameplay--then why include it all?
It seems to me that the only reason to include a different weapon in the game is because it's DIFFERENT--because it has different capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses compared to already-existing weapons. The MP41 does not meet this requirement. The MP41(r) would.
Second: if it really does take an enormous amount of work to code a new weapon, then why go to the trouble of coding a new weapon that's essentially indistinguishable from another? Because some players like its looks? Just the fact that Tripwire went to the trouble of including the MP41 in the game suggests that you're exaggerating the amount of work required.
So I'm not convinced that adding the MP41(r) would be all that labour-intensive. It seems to me that it could be kitbashed together out of the code used for the PPSh41 and the MP40--much as the actual weapon was kitbashed together in reality.
And far from being pointless, adding the Mp41(r) would offer German assault troopers a REAL choice between two very different submachineguns, with different capabilities, strengths and weaknesses. Instead of what they have at present: a choice between the MP40 and--well, the MP40 (with a kewl wooden stock).
Having these kinds of choices enhances gameplay. Variety's the very spice of life, after all. And since TWI was willing to add the T-34(r) to the German armoury (on "Black Day July"), I see no reason not to add the MP41 (r), which might conceivably be used on several maps.
This is an MP41(r) for the confused ones.
Current Project: RAD ORCHESTRA 2: HOBOS OF STALINGRAD
Maybe you could get the PPSH as a german gun under another designation (and more easy, because it would work unmodded ):
"The Wehrmacht officially adopted the converted PPSh-41 as the MP41(r), unconverted PPSh-41s were designated MP717(r)."
nope, then when you did a dry reload you'd have the hand pulling back on an invisible bolt, pressing in an invisible mag release button, then bringing the invisible bolt back forward. at the very least you'd need to modify the default PPSh anims to make it look right.
Exactly. Different model, different animation.
Current Project: RAD ORCHESTRA 2: HOBOS OF STALINGRAD
But still--it seems to me that it wouldn't require quite as much effort as a completely new gun. Plus, you could use roughly the same animation to allow Russian PPSh's to load with a 35-shot stick magazine.
From what I've read, it became increasingly common, later in the war, to load the PPSh with a stick instead of a drum. Or to mix the two--say, one drum, and three sticks.
(This would also allow soldiers armed with a PPSh to harvest ammo for the PPS42, in a pinch. A rare occurrence, I'll admit, but not outside the realm of possibility.)
More importantly--and this gets back to my original point--the extra effort would be rewarded with extra value, on maps set between, say, the winter of 1941-42, and the introduction of the StG44.
During that period, the MP-41(r) would give German assault troopers an alternative to the MP40 (and MP41), without completely replacing either of them.
Simply allowing them to choose an MP717(r) (that is to say, a captured PPSh41 with drum) would not be as good, because (IMHO) the PPSh41 is the superior weapon. They would all choose the MP717(r)--the way they all choose the StG44, as soon as it becomes available: no assault trooper in his right mind picks an SMG over an assault rifle.
Given a meaningful choice between two very different weapons, German assault troopers would have to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each, and choose the one that's right for them.
That would increase the fun. And isn't that why we're all here? For the fun?
Why not just give German SMGers the choice of using the PPSh? While there were a lot converted to 9mm I'm sure German forces would have accumulated enough captured Russian ammo and weapons for this to be realistic, just call it the MP717(r).
You can already see people complaining about having bit too many assault classes (and they certainly have a point).
Now let's put over 40 player server with increased assault classes and everyone running around with PPSh. It will remotedly look like some random deathmatch. Go figure.
There was a signature here, but it's gone now.
The MP41(r) would compel German players to balance the various advantages of the various weapons available, instead of either automatically choosing the best one, or choosing between two virtually indistinguishable weapons.
Also, with the smaller stick magazine, the MP41(r) wouldn't be quite the "noob cannon" that the PPSh41 is. German assault troopers wouldn't be able to use it as a bullet hose, the way the Russians can.
(Just as an aside: It's too bad there's no way to model the PPSh41's chief drawback--the fact that those drum magazines are heavy, cumbersome, and a ***** to load.
Though this MIGHT be done by NOT allowing soldiers armed with drum-fed SMG's to replenish their ammunition from ammunition supply points.
Inexperienced players would probably get killed before they ran out of ammo, but this might give experienced players a reason to choose a stick-fed PPSh over its drum-fed counterpart--or to mix both types of magazines, the way the Russians did historically.)
Adding a rare weapon for balancing reasons is just wrong. Besides that, mappers can already make the PPsh available to the German side if they want to. It's just that so far not many mappers have picked that up.
Second, as I've said repeatedly, I don't want to add this weapon for balancing reasons: the extra game balance simply would be a beneficial spinoff--a not-entirely-unintended consequence. I want to add the MP41(r) because it would be fun. So once again, even if what you say is true, it's not relevant.
I honestly don't understand the conservatism I'm encountering here. You'd think I was suggesting adding the krummlauf attachment for the StG44, or something.
Last edited by D-Es-C-H; 12-02-2007 at 06:38 PM.
It's already been pointed out that adding the requested weapon to the game would require new models, animations and code. That's three specialties, probably held by at least three people, plus many beta testers.
The limited number of people with these skills are likely already committed -- hell, over committed -- to projects including no less than three add-on mods, MinionWorkz, and standalone efforts, perhaps expansions of RO:O or, more likely, expansions of other games altogether.
Personally, I'd -love- to get to play with a Maus in game. I know that ain't going to happen, and I'm not going to tell everyone that it's just errant negativity shooting down my idea. It's more the idea that the tank never entered service.
Now, if someone wants to learn coding, modeling, skinning and animating AND start working on this, GREAT. And if that person is making a true effort and gets legitimately stuck, I strongly suspect the community would pitch in to offer guidance.

There always seems to exist mixed feelings when education and technology come together in the classroom. A new survey published Tuesday by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project offered positive indicators from the impact of digital technology on student's ability to write.
The analysis of this research sampled exactly 2,462 middle and high school teachers that participated in an online survey. About 78 percent of the advanced placement (AP) and National Writing Project (NWP) teachers confirmed that tools like the social media, internet, and smartphones enhance student creativity and personal expression.
The survey results included that 96 percent of instructors agree digital technologies allow students to share their work with a broader audience. Moreover, 79 percent of educators also assert these tools do encourage greater collaboration among the students.
"According to teachers, students' exposure to a broader audience for their work and more feedback from peers encourages greater student investment in what they write and in the writing process as a whole," according to the Pew survey.
Teachers offered various types of assessments in areas in which students performed well and in others needed significant improvement. For example, when it came down to grading the performance of nine specific writing skills teachers gave students good or fair standings as oppose to excellent or very good. In one area where students performed with poor standings it was around navigating issues of fair use and copyright in composition, or digesting long or complicated texts.
The survey findings stem from a non-probability sample from middle school all the way through high school. This was conducted between Mar. 7 to April 23, 2012. The geographic locations included of course the United States, Puerto Rico and U.S Virgin Islands.

Suppose the conditional distribution of $\theta$ and $x$ satisfies the monotone likelihood ratio property: for every real numbers $\bar{\theta} \ge \theta$ and $\bar{x} \ge x$, we have $ f(\bar{\theta}|\bar{x})/f(\theta|\bar{x}) \ge f(\bar{\theta}|x)/f(\theta|x).$
Now suppose I extend this property as follows: for each real numbers $\bar{x} \ge x$ and each given $\bar{A}$ and $A$ that are subsets of [0,1] with the property that $E[\theta|\bar{x}, \theta \in \bar{A}] \ge E[\theta|\bar{x}, \theta \in A]$, we have $ Pr(\bar{A}|\bar{x})/Pr(A|\bar{x}) \ge Pr(\bar{A}|x)/Pr(A|x).$
If $A$ and $\bar{A}$ are singleton, it is exactly the monotone likelihood ratio property. But I now want to require this property for sets $A$.
What additional condition on the joint distribution of $x$ and $\theta$ will provide this property?

With the recent water shortage alert in the area, BGMU employees were on hand at the "Welcome Back Western" event, to educate students about the shortage and water conservation.
Western Kentucky University is back in session and some students say they weren't surprised to return to campus and hear of a water shortage alert.
"I kinda figured because it's been 100 plus degrees for a long time," WKU Senior Matt Blansit said.
Warren County has been under this alert for weeks now which is why employees with Bowling Green Municipal Utilities are talking with students.
"We are asking Western students to be conscious of our water shortage. We are asking them to be aware that water is low and we need to be conserving water as much as possible," explained Sheila Senn, Marketing Coordinator at BGMU.
BGMU say it has noticed a difference in water usage since Western students have returned to campus.
"There is more water being used and the water still at an alert level," Senn continued."
"There's over 18,000 students that come back and that's a lot more water that needs to go out than normal," Blansit added..
Some students say they've already been conserving.
"I've went about a month without washing my car, so that's probably done something to help it," WKU Sophomore Rachel Gossett admitted.
"I try to cut back on showers and try not to wash my dishes as long as possible," Blansit said.
And look what you can help save by cutting back.
Turning off the water while brushing or shaving can save three gallons of water a day.
Taking shorter showers by two minutes can save five gallons of water per day.
And fixing a leaky faucet can save 20 gallons of water per day.
BGMU says by doing these simple things, it won't go unnoticed.
"That's the reason we're out here--trying to let Western students know that even if each person makes a conscious effor to conserve, it will help our water levels," Senn said.

Photos: Early March in the Napa Valley
As expected, things are getting super crazy for us here and will only continue to be that way for much of March. We did, however, manage to escape for a few minutes to soak in the wonderful signs of Spring that are all around the valley at this point.
Here are a couple photos we shot while the sun was shining in Yountville a couple days ago–now's a great time to visit!

The first official day of the Carr Center Cake Auction kicked off on Thursday.
Highlighted at Thursday's auction were the first place winners of the "People's Choice Award".
The two winning cakes were made by the Cakery Company for it's Lego design and Sheena's Sweets for it's design featuring Disney's Lady and The Tramp.
"As you can see there are literally 380 to 400 cakes that are beautifully decorated, so uniquely," said Executive Director of The Carr Center John Hajjar, "but those two just happened to come to the top by the People's Choice."
As part of the Cake Auction, incentives are also up for bid. The top bidder of each incentives is not only awarded the incentives, but a made-to-order cake created by Zandex Healthcare's Cooperate Chef Bill Bird.
"The most special thing about it is because they've supported the Carr Cake Auction, I'm making them a fresh, edible, nice gourmet cake that they can select the flavor they want instead of just giving them a cake," said Bird. "I think it's a special touch to make it here for them special ."
The auction will resume Friday morning, beginning at 8:15 a.m. All proceeds benefit the Carr Center.
Bids can be placed by calling 740-453-2525, or in person at The Colony Square Mall.
The total raised from day one was $55,960. Last year after day one the Carr Center raised $48,120.

The launch of Patch 1.06 for the Playstation 3 edition of Minecraft earlier this week allowed 4J Studios to release several new DLC packs on the PS Store. Three of the add-ons feature content that was previously released on Xbox 360 that has finally made its way to the PS3. However, after teasing the fourth new DLC on May 28, it was confirmed that the PS3-exclusive Skin Pack2 adds new character avatars based upon popular Playstation games.
Leading the new licensed avatar selections are numerous skins that allow fans to play Minecraft: PS3 Edition as their favorite characters from Naughty Dog's post-apocalyptic masterpiece, The Last of Us. Also included as part of Skin Pack 2 for the PS3 version of Minecraft are new textures that change the player model into characters from other hit PS3 games such as Ratchet and Clank and Journey.
In addition to the release of Skin Pack 2, Patch 1.06 also paved the way for several other add-ons to finally make their way to the Playstation Network. Giving fans the ability to alter the appearance of the entire in-game world of Minecraft, players can now pick up the Candy Texture Pack and the Natural Texture Pack on the PS Store. The two DLC offerings provide a themed overhaul of the game's visuals. Also now available to download on the PS3 is the Battle and Beasts Skin Pack 2. Like all other skin packs, the add-on introduces new avatar textures to the game.
Mojang revealed this month that players will be able to use all DLC packs that they have purchased on the Playstation 3 on the upcoming PS4 edition of Minecraft. Furthermore, those currently own the game will be able to digitally upgrade to the next-gen version for only $5. To help ease players into the transition, gamers will also be able to transfer their existing save files to the PS4.
Minecraft: PS3 Edition's Skin Pack 2 is now available to download along with Patch 1.06. The Playstation 4 edition of the game is scheduled to release in August.

While that's all well and good, the big news with the Asus B43 and B53 is their support for Boston-Power Sonata batteries. These next generation lithium-ion batteries, already found in select HP notebooks, are said to offer triple the lifespan of typical notebook batteries. They'll reportedly keep 80% of its initial charge for 1,000 charge cycles -- compared to 300 cycles or less for conventional laptop batteries -- and are able to recharge to 80% capacity after only 30 minutes.
All models come with a durable aluminum casing and spill proof keyboard. Other enterprise-friendly features include Intel's vPro, anti-theft, and trusted platform module technologies, docking station support, as well as fingerprint and smart card reader support. The Asus B53 is expected to be available immediately for $1,100 in its most basic configuration, while the B43 models should be a little cheaper, but their price or exact launch date is still unknown.

Maple Sugaring in New Hampshire
is a book of photographic history depicting the process, equipment, structures, and social aspects of maple sugaring from the 1700's to the present day. Maple products are made almost exclusively in the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada, where sugar maples thrive and the climate is conducive to good sap runs. Native Americans used sap, or "sweet water", for drinking and cooking, and they used maple sugar for bartering. Early settlers consumed large quantities of the sugar when other food was scarce and traded their surplus as a means of economic survival.
Barbara Mills Lassonde gathered sap at her grandfather's northern New Hampshire farm while growing up, and she and her husband have been producing their own maple syrup since the late 1970's.
Barbara is a freelance writer and award-winning poet who has worked as publicist and field editor for the New Hampshire Maple Producers Association from 1994 – 2010. Maple Sugaring in New Hampshire is a unique history that captures rare images exclusive to this ancient tradition, and is available for $19.99 + $2.00 shipping.
New Hampshire Maple Producers' Association Maple Cook Book 2001 Revised Edition ~
This book contains recipes from generations back. Some of the really good recipes are Maple Oatmeal Bread, Maple Shredded-Wheat Bread, Apple Crisp, Maple Meringue Bars, Candied Sweet Potatoes, Barbecued Chicken, Maple Shortbread and the list goes on.
Try some and make them your family favorites. This book contains over 200 Maple Recipes.

Bundle in the Jungle Baby Shower (17 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Our "Bundle in the Jungle" themed baby shower was a hit. We were celebrating the impending arrival of little Baby Myles. While we knew that a boy was coming, the Safari/Jungle theme allowed for a more neutral color palette, that could actually be used for a girl or a boy, with the soft blue, yellow and browns.
The couple had already booked an outdoor pavillion at a local park, as their venue, but hadn't really considered whether or not the space could be transformed into a comfortably, modern baby shower. Luckily, the natural, rustic ambience of thepark pavillion provided a nice, natural backdrop for the event.
Some of the details of the set up included individual place settings, each with custom safari binoculars. Moneys, Giraffes and Lions strategically siutated around the tables and set up brough the "animal" out of the event.The dessert table featured an array of Sweets, including cupcakes, brownie pops, dipped apples and onesie sugar cookies. The centerpiece of the table was a tree on which guests could hangs words of wisdom for the first-time patrents. The favors were little bags of animal cookies, tagged with custom labels.


text: The power of Glee be damned, Adele proved once again that only she can truly do "Rolling in the Deep" justice, no matter how talented the song's many famous copycats are. (We're looking at you John Legend, Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff.) Shortly after Rachel and Jesse hate-sung the ballad to one another on last night's Glee, Adele (reportedly under the weather) delivered a powerful performance on ABC's Dancing With the Stars results show—one that really didn't need to brought to life by the DWTS pros (just let her sing!). Watch as Adele infuses more emotion into the song with her subtle finger movements and expressive eyes than Ryan Murphy could ever add with one of his overcooked scripts.

From ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The bus service that takes delegates, media and guests from their hotels in downtown Minneapolis to the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul is called the "GOP Express." But Monday afternoon, the bus that took colleague Mary Orndorff and me across the Mississippi River to St. Paul should have been called the "You Can't Get There From Here Express."
It took us a mere 37 minutes on the "GOP Express" to make it to the convention. The driver smiled sheepishly as we exited his bus. On this first day of the Republican National Convention, getting into the arena -- through metal detectors, a Secret Service pat-down and an X-ray scan -- was much easier than getting to it.

compiling mp3splt on Solaris
By fintanr on Oct 03, 2005
Before posting the mp3 of the first IOSUG meeting I had to compile up mp3splt in order to split up the mp3 into something a bit more usable. There are one or two little caveats for doing this on Solaris, so for the purposes of documentation these are written up below. The compilation in this example does not include support for ogg-vorbis, but if people want I'll post an example of this as well. I grabbed libmad from blastwave.org. The short version is here first, and then an explanation of possible errors you may see when trying to compile this or similar software.
Short VersionIf you don't have /usr/sfw/bin and /usr/ccs/bin in your path you will need to add them in.
# /opt/csw/bin/pkg-get -i libmad # LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -L/opt/csw/lib -R/opt/csw/lib"; export LDFLAGS # CFLAGS="-lresolv -lnsl -lsocket"; export CFLAGS # CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/csw/include -I/usr/include" # cd ${mp3splt_src} # ./configure --disable-ogg # make; make install
Possible ErrorsAnd thats it. Now with a few errors. The first possible error one will encounter is missing header files. In this case libmad is going to be your most likely issue, and you will get errors similar to
[fintanr@charlico mp3splt-2.1c] $ make make all-recursive Making all in doc if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DNO_OGG -MT \\ mp3splt.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/mp3splt.Tpo" \\ -c -o mp3splt.o `test -f 'mp3splt.c' || echo './'`mp3splt.c; \\ then mv -f ".deps/mp3splt.Tpo" ".deps/mp3splt.Po"; \\ else rm -f ".deps/mp3splt.Tpo"; exit 1; \\ fi In file included from mp3splt.c:43: mp3.h:40:17: mad.h: No such file or directory In file included from mp3splt.c:43: mp3.h:99: error: field `stream' has incomplete type mp3.h:100: error: field `frame' has incomplete typeThis is resolved with the CPPFLAGS setting above. Next up, and much more common is when you see an error similar to
gcc -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DNO_OGG -L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib \\ -L/opt/csw/lib -o mp3splt mp3splt.o splt.o mp3.o wrap.o cddb.o ogg.o -lmad -lm Undefined first referenced symbol in file recv cddb.o send cddb.o herror cddb.o gethostbyname cddb.o socket cddb.o connect cddb.o ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to mp3splt collect2: ld returned 1 exit statusThese errors are all due to missing symbols from the networking libs, so the CFLAGS entry above passes in the correct libs.

Last year, moviegoers were enticed with a blockbuster called Pacific Rim. The film directed by Guillermo Del Toro played homage to the kaiju genre by pitting giant robots against colossal monsters. While the movie gained a fanbase, the box office numbers kept Pacific Rim from being a true success. Because of this, it seemed that any continuation for this blockbuster would be unlikely. However, in a new report today, there might be hope for a Pacific Rim 2.
According to the Buzzfeed, Guillermo Del Toro is in fact working on another Pacific Rim. From the report, Pacific Rim 2 will written by Guillermo himself, as well as screenwriter Zak Penn who is also known for his work on X-Men: The Last Stand and The Avengers. Together, the director and the screenwriter will put their heads together to come up with the next installment to Pacific Rim. Del Toro had this to say about the project as well as working with Zak Penn.
"We've been working for a few months now in secret. We found a way to twist it around. Travis Beacham [co-writer of the first film, now working on Fox's 'Hieroglyph'] was involved in the storyline and now I'm writing with Zak because Travis has become a TV mogul."
While the Travis Beacham won't be involved, the fact that the there will be another Pacific Rim should be exciting for any fan of the film. So what can we expect to see from this next? Will the movie be a continuation to the 2013 film; or could it be something else. As it stands, only Guillermo Del Toro and Zak Penn.
What do you think of the new update for Pacific Rim 2? For more articles like this one, feel free to hit the subscribe button.

Joan Smith
2007 reissue of 1981 release, Regency Romance
Robert Hale, $18.99, 224 pages, Amazon ASIN 9780709079224
The price and ISBN above are valid at Robert Hale Publishing.
Valerie is invited for an extended visit with her eccentric widowed Aunt Louise at her home, Troy Fenners. While Aunt Loo is genuinely fond of Valerie, she has an ulterior motive: she is in the middle of writing her new gothic romance and she needs a stand-in for her heroine who performs great feats of derring-do. Valerie, who is very tall woman - one could even call her Amazonian - is the perfect model for her heroine. During her visit, Aunt Loo will have Valerie perform these feats - jumping a horse over a tollbooth, carrying a man across a field, climbing a trellis up the side of a house, etc. - in order to make sure they can be done and to be able to write accurately about the heroine's experiences. Aunt Loo is a hoot. Valerie is just glad to get away from the house and her squabbling younger sisters. Besides, Valerie is on a husband hunt, and there are no good prospects in the neighborhood - she's ready to try her luck further afield.
Soon after their arrival at Troy Fenners, Valerie learns that things are not quite right. For some reason the very rich Aunt Loo seems to be short of money. There are two distant family connections through marriage in residence, a Frenchman, Pierre St. Claire, who has fled his homeland and now insists he is thoroughly English - "Call me Peter Sinclair. It is better. When at Rome, do like the Italians do, as we say in English." - and Welland Sinclair, a supposed scholar whose well-built physique and aura of command no amount of green-tinted glasses and stooping posture can hide. Add to the mix an amorous doctor and a séance-holding medium and you have an interesting cast of characters with plenty of secrets to unravel.
Valerie is a unique heroine. She has a mind of her own and is not at all shy about getting what she wants. She does this without coming off as pushy or feisty, and that is due to the strength of her voice. The novel is written in first person and all is filtered through Valerie's voice and perspective - and it is a fun voice and perspective. She has a wry sense of humor, especially about herself and her Amazonian tendencies - though she likes to think of herself as more of a lioness - and is ready to nab a husband: "If I ever find a man I like who is over six feel tall, I shall have him."
Welland seems a likely candidate, though he is definitely not what he seems. We don't get a very clear picture of Welland as we discover his secrets along with Valerie, so this makes him a bit of a cipher. One thing is certain, though: he is quite taken with Valkyrie Valerie.
It is the delightful writing that makes this such an enjoyable reading experience, though, because of the first-person aspect, and the fact that a few too many secrets were held on to for a bit too long, I also experienced a bit of frustration.
While I enjoyed Valerie and was glad to have the opportunity to read it, I have mixed emotions about recommending it. I applaud Robert Hale's efforts to bring old Trads to a new audience, but at £19 a pop ($38 US), I cannot see how these books can be affordable to the average reader - especially when you can find the 1981 edition used at Amazon for $2.50.

Kingrey won the national (NAIA) diving championship in the one-meter and three-meter diving events in 1960, his first year with East Carolina. He went on to be a three-time All-America in 1960, '61 and '62 in both events.
Kingrey was a great competitor and was given the title as tea, co-captain on the swimming team. Kingrey is a former record holder for three-meter diving with 11 dives tallying 420 points.

Ask people what the best MMA fight of all-time is and some with likely say Dan Henderson/Mauricio Rua at UFC 139. So that means we are in luck. A rumored rematch between both men appears set for UFC Fight Night 38 on March 23rd. Speaking to MMAJunkie.com, "Hendo" explained why he took the fight:
"Anytime you get a fight as good as that you want to see it again. If I had gone out there and knocked him out pretty bad and handily won, I wouldn't have done it again.
"I think a lot of fans want to see it, and I think 'Shogun' wanted to do it again, too."
More than anything else, Henderson just needs a win. The former Olympian has dropped his last three UFC fights and might be on his way out of the promotion if he doesn't get the "W" this spring. Rua, on the other hand, is coming off a knockout win against James Te-Huna in December. Prior to that fight, the Brazilian struggled having lost 4 of 6 fights.
The rest of the card is as follows:
Middleweight Cezar Ferreira vs. C.B. Dollaway
Lightweight Leonardo Santos vs. Norman Parke
Light Heavyweight Fabio Maldonado vs. Gian Villante
Featherweight Rony Jason vs. Steven Siler
Lightweight Gleison Tibau vs. Mairbek Taisumov
Middleweight Ronny Markes vs. Thiago Santos

The Obama administration announced that they have reached their goal of seven million sign-ups for health coverage.
According to the Associated Press on April 1, White House spokesman Jay Carney said that the goal was obtained on March 31's midnight deadline for sign-ups. Carney told the press:
"The fact that the seven million number has been reached allows us to step back and look at the sweeping, positive change that the law has ushered in to strengthen health security for every American as they go through life."
People who began to apply for health coverage, but could not finish before the deadline will be afforded extra time to complete enrollment. Those Americans could drive the total number of health coverage sign-ups.
The announcement was a major victory for the Affordable Care Act, which kicked off the open enrollment period with website malfunctions and citizens who already had health insurance being dropped by their provider for not being in compliance with the Affordable Care Act.
Carney also said that the Republicans attempt to stop the law did not work, and the milestone is proof positive that the law is working. Also celebrating the victory was House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who touted the law's major benefits. She said:
"As implementation takes place then you see where there could be correctives or improvements or refinements."
Open enrollment for the Affordable Care Act is now over.

It's officially spring time in Baltimore. Time for those warm days and telling snow that it's time to go. But now that the weather is warm, what is there to do? Well, planning for the future, you could always visit the B&O Railroad Museum to help commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the American Civil War. After all, the B&O Railroad witnessed a major part of history unfold. Who better to learn about it from than them. And since we're looking at things to come, let's look at this week's anime, Bakemonogatari.
Bakemonogatari is a two world in one anime as seen at the Crunchyroll website. Based off a light novel by Nisio Isin, we follow Koyomi Araragi after being returned to his life as human, well, mostly human. The anime starts out doing quick flashes from what seems to be Araragi's loss and regaining of his humanity from his vampire state. And as amazing as the lead in is, its cut short after a few minutes to make way to the actual story as we watch one Hitagi Senjogahara falling down a spiral stairwell. Of course, being the nice guy that he is, Araragi leaps to save her only to find out that she doesn't weigh anything. And likely as much appreciation as Araragi deserves, he's threatened by a girl who has more school supplies in her clothes than the Walmart likely has for sale… in the entire school supply section.
The first few minutes of Bakemongatari are both exciting and annoying as you get these constant flashes of backstory, quick texts, and characters you think you should know. There's a story in there, but your thumb needs to be constantly on the pause button to pick it up, and even then, you can still be lost. Then boom, you're flash and fast-forwarded into Hitagi falling and then there's our main character, Araragi. If you can survive the first few minutes of the series and how utterly amazing and annoyingly flickering it comes across, you'll find the rest slightly more stable and far more enjoyable. As series go, Bakemonogatari is visually stunning, most of the time. A lot of the visual representations are stripped to a minimalistic style. While the artwork is vivid and the colours vibrant, there are times when the background can be monochromatic. The series utilizes advanced elements of 3D and yet is unafraid to resort to paper cutouts live action pictures. As the series progresses, you end up seeing several types of art styles from series hardcore shonen, to bloody visceral brawls, to moments with chibi characters. Another added favorite were the different opening and endings based on the character being explored. It's a very rare concept seen in anime to have more than two openings/closings in such an average length series.
Looking at the story, you won't get very far without the characters. Arargi and Senjyogahara play perfectly off one another as they are almost too perfectly opposite. While there's a romance there, the anime puts it as the subplot. The overly dramatic and chaotic romance plays along with the story as Araragi (and the rest of us) are scared to near wit's end of the over-the-top diva. And as the story goes on, we get to watch just how much of a lady's magnet Araragi is, though he's not trying to be. Like a knight in shining armor, he's there for everyone in trouble, that usually happen to be girls. Five arcs play out five women that are almost predictably connected to our main character. Most of the women seem to play a different stereotypical role, showing a playful side in these series. These also get him into trouble with his girlfriend as she threatens to kill him, which is cute since he can't die. There's a brilliance in each telling as Araragi is faced with this ever changing world appearing before his eyes. There's this underlying plot of growing up and finding your place in the world that keeps popping up as Araragi's savior/mentor keeps telling him to prepare for the day he'll disappear.
On the flip side however, the ending of the series did leave much to be desired as you felt left hanging. Be it for a lead in to the next chapter of the story or just due to the fact that the producers didn't have an ending, the story dangled and we were left holding the shaft.
Throughout it all, Bakemonogatari was a greatly enjoyable anime. Soon enough, there will be the next installment to the series and it is with hope that it will be as great as its predecessors or better. This is definitely an anime that will captivate audiences as well as confuse the crap out of them. It's a fun watch and a good laugh. And with that, until next time. Keep laughing, keep reading, keep watching, and being the beautiful otakus you all are.
