Magical underpants and lasers.
The Kingdom Hearts series is truly something special; not only is it the biggest cross-over project in gaming history, pairing up classic characters from the Disney warehouse with those from Final Fantasy, but avid fans follow ever morsel of information pertaining with the keenest of eyes. It's almost like a cult, a secret society where one KH player to another simply understands an unspoken bond and mutual respect for the JRPG epics, instantly breaking the silence as they discuss every intricate moment of the series to date.
I was not a member of this exclusive cult, until this review I had never touched the franchise in any form, although I certainly was a keen observer. Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance brings forward some staggering changes for the series, but can it live up to the expectations of fans?
Check out the official trailer!
Dream Drop Distance brings back Sora and Riku, two of the franchise's most beloved characters, who both appeared back in the very first title on the PlayStation 2. This time our two heroes are currently sitting the Mark of Mastery exam, which sets them on an adventure to save parallel versions of seven different worlds from forces of evil. If they pass they will be crowned as true Keyblade Masters, with enough knowledge and experience to tackle the return of Xehanort, one evil dude who is threatening to destroy the world. No pressure at all!
Straight away players will be thrust into the magical world of Kingdom Hearts, a masterful mash-up of Disney environments and Final Fantasy throwbacks that create unique experiences no matter which camp you're more focused on. The environments are always colourful, fresh, exciting and a pleasure to explore.
One of the new mechanics that has been introduced is the Drop system - a mechanic that forces the player to switch between Sora and Riku after a certain amount of gameplay passes by. Each of the famous characters has their own version of the parallel universes to explore, with overlapping storylines that eventually build up to an unforgettable crescendo.
The problem with that however is getting to that final moment. With so many overlapping moments and parallel universes, the story often becomes shambolic to a point where even experts in the KH universe will have trouble making sense of it all. It doesn't fall in a complete heap, and towards the end it falls back into line, but the road to clarity often makes questionable detours rather than logical steps.
Flowmotion is another new feature introduced this time round, allowing the player to utilise the environment in real-time to effect combat. Adding a new element of strategy to the real-time combat, players can launch themselves at poles, steps and other environmental advantages to perform dodges and special attacks. Flowmotion may create some exciting new combat elements, but it can also be used to travel great distances in a short amount of time, launching from buildings to new areas at tremendous speeds.
Dream Drop Distance also employs a new feature called Reality Shift, which allows the player to use the touch screen to bend certain elements to their will. Items such as barrels will light up when close enough, and then you can enter Reality Shift mode, flinging them at your enemies with precision. It's an exciting concept and it works well, offering yet another layer of depth to the combat.
When it comes to utilising the capabilities of the 3DS, Dream Drop Distance excels. Using a combination of AR and the 3DS cameras, players can interact with their Dream Eater (a virtual pet acquired during the game) in their real world, creating emotional bonds and levelling up their abilities in the real world.
The art style is simply divine, screaming with charm at every corner, employing the very best of Disney and the Final Fantasy franchise."
Graphically, Dream Drop Distance looks phenomenal on the 3DS screen. The 3D effects are subtle but invigorating, the frame-rate never skipping a beat, regardless of the intense action that fills the screen. The art style is simply divine, screaming with charm at every corner, employing the very best of Disney and the Final Fantasy franchise. The audio is also something to be marvelled at, one of the best audio experiences we've had on the system thus far.
On the whole, Dream Drop Distance is a great game, however there are some crucial flaws that stop it from being the very best of the series. I've already touched on the confusing story progression, however the constant mementos are simply a burden for newcomers. When first starting the game, players have the option to play through mementos - essentially flashbacks that act as tutorials are forced upon the player every ten seconds, completely breaking any pacing the original story holds. It's not a major flaw, but it certainly can be annoying.
The controls aren't the best either, even when using the CirclePad Pro attachment. Camera controls feel wonky, as does general movement during action sequences. The uncertain controls are only more apparent during sections of platforming gameplay, where the game often feels unresponsive. It's hard to gauge angles and distances at times, which can lead to moments of frustration.
If you are already a member of the Kingdom Hearts cult, then you have already picked up the game at 9am and won't be reading this review until days after your first playthrough. However if you're a newcomer to the series like I am, don't let your lack of knowledge hold you back. Despite some minor flaws, Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance is a fantastic RPG adventure that will take you to some magical new highs, some unforgettable new lows and back to a thrilling conclusion. If you're looking for a title that shows what the 3DS is capable of, you simply can't pass this one up.

In brief | Big Island & state briefs 090813
Mamalahoa Highway road work planned
Alternating single lane closures are planned this week in both directions on Mamalahoa Highway, between Uluoa Street and Old Kona Village Road, for pavement striping and guardrail installation, according to the state Department of Transportation.
Crews will be working from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. Work is weather permitting.
Police still seeking 2nd Hale Nani escapee
Big Island police continue to search for 23-year-old Robert C. Garcia, one of two men who escaped a Hilo area minimum security correctional facility Wednesday night.
Garcia is described as being African-American, 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing 130 pounds with short black hair and brown eyes. He often wears a goatee and mustache, and he has tattoos on his right forearm and the left side of his neck. He was last seen wearing a white Hawaii Community Correction Center shirt and blue HCCC shorts, according to police.
Police caution the public not to try to apprehend him, but rather to call police at 911.
On Friday, police apprehended 27-year-old Andrew Wanat, who fled the Hale Nani Correctional Facility along with Garcia, in Kailua-Kona. He was arrested by police officers at 11:50 a.m. after two foot chases.
Wanat and Garcia, who are both part of Hale Nani's reintegration program, were not present for a 10:30 p.m. Wednesday headcount at the minimum security facility's housing unit, said state Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Toni Schwartz. The headcount is conducted about once per hour, she said. The men were last seen about 9 p.m.
Both men were at the facility for violations of terms or conditions of probation, Schwartz said. Garcia was scheduled for release on Oct. 2 while Wanat was slated to be released Jan. 13.
Hale Nani is a minimum security facility. It provides an offender reintegration and a work release program for sentenced inmates who will be released on Hawaii Island, according to the Department of Public Safety.
Jewell visits Hawaii internment camp site
HONOLULU — Hawaii lawmakers and volunteers are asking U.S. Interior Secretary Sally Jewell to help preserve the site of a former Japanese internment camp.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports that Jewell met Friday with the Honouliuli Park Site Advisory Committee.
Committee members told Jewell that they want the Honouliuli camp and the stories of Japanese-Americans interned there to reach a broader audience.
Jewell says Honouliuli serves a vital role in telling another side of the story of World War II.
Seed company Monsanto Hawaii, which owns the land that Honouliuli sits on, wants to donate the 160-acre area to the National Park Service.
Jewell says it's too early to determine if Honouliuli will become a member of the national parks system. She says local partnerships and support are key.
Inmate accidentally released from Oahu prison
HONOLULU — Honolulu police are searching for an inmate who officials say was accidentally released from Oahu Community Correctional Center.
Hawaii News Now reports that 51-year-old Edward Robins was mistakenly let out Friday at about 4:55 p.m.
Authorities say Robins was not due for release until Sept. 13.
Both police and state sheriffs have been notified.
Robins was serving a sentence for third-degree assault.
Police are asking anyone with information about his whereabouts to call authorities.

Unfortunately this adorable Mama Bear Cookie Jar ($) won't ship in time for Mother's Day. If your mama's not the timely type, or if she's got a birthday coming up, this could be the perfect gift!

Just sayin'.

I am both new to linux and "sound processing" and I'm sorry if this looks like a question being answered with the first entry on Google. Because I don't even know what to google for.
A friend of mine and I are trying to program an intelligent personal assistant that should do all kinds of stuff for us like google stuff, play music, tell us jokes... But that doesn't matter at this point.
The voice will be translated into text and text will be translated to speech via Google translate API which doesn't cause too much trouble. However our mic is kind of bad and we want to improve the quality of our sound input e.g. remove background noise and/or filter our voices from other disturbing noises. It would be brilliant if that would happen on the fly.
We are using Ubuntu and Raspbian at the moment.

In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Dolores Umbridge, chapter 13, Detention with Dolores, Harry's scar hurts when Umbridge touches him. However, the canon does not establish any direct connection between Voldemort and Umbridge. Are there any canonical explanations of what happened?
It was just a coincidence.
Voldemort is planning the escape of his key lieutenants from Azkhaban and is alternately happy and frustrated. Those strong emotions make Harry's scar tingle. He also feels a similar pain when getting changed after Quidditch in Chapter 18.
Ron later identifies (in chapter 25) what kept making Voldemort so frustrated/happy;
I thought it was because, unbeknownst to us at the time, she is wearing Voldermort's horcrux I.e. Slitherin's locket...

Sludge merchants CROWBAR will embark on a brand new slab of headline dates throughout the U.S. with guests HAVOK and REVOCATION. Kicking off on September 11th in Birmingham, dates span from coast to coast before wrapping up in mid October. This is the first tour in the states supporting the band's most recent LP, Symmetry in Black. General on sale is Friday, July 4th. VIP packages will also be available, read here for more info.
Symmetry in Black was released back in May and sold over 4,000 copies in its first week of release, the highest of any LP's in the band's 25 year career, beating out its predecessor Sever the Wicked Hand released in 2011. Symmetry in Black has recieved quite the critical reception to boot. Metalsucks states, "It's no surprise that it's excellent, but what is a surprise is just how excellent it is." With Windstein's focus entirely on Crowbar for the first time since the band's inception, the anticipation was higher than ever leading up to its release leading internet giants LOUDWIRE to declare, "Windstein's singular focus pays off."
Lastly, tastemakers INVISIBLE ORANGES go as far to say that the band "deliver their trademark style of passionate and despondent hardcore-influenced sludge metal with ruthlessness and grace, crafting a masterful album." The crushing signature sound of Crowbar is at its peak on Symmetry in Black, the band's most diverse yet cohesive release.

Welcome to My Red Cape. Long ago in another time my husband Jack and I lived in a little old red house. It was the stuff of dreams to us for the few years that we were there. I live there still a number of hours every day in imagination, with old dolls and paintings and fabrics and feather trees. I draw inspiration and happiness from the memories of that space in time and share some of it here with friends who remember how to step with Alice through the looking glass and take delight in whimsies and antiquities. ~ Edyth O'Neill

Sewing from my pockets and rollups book
Almost happy fourth of July! I am looking back through a lot of photos to share here, and found these. My friend Penny has a great log house in the country and a while back a group of us met there to make sewing rollups and pockets together, sharing ideas and bits of special fabrics we had gathered for this party. (Actually two parties, a week apart!) To start with, just being a guest at Penny's lovely place with her as the best hostess I can imagine, and serving the greatest foods was a treat among her lovely antiques. And next, we all wore appropriate dress for this, including great bonnets. See Virginia! A number of projects were cut and started on the first session and then at the second session many were brought finished and more done by the end of the gathering. If you would like a copy of this book of patterns and pictures, it is still for sale on my other blog,
http://redcaperugs.blogspot.com Live link above right......
Enjoy these and make your own lovely fabric combinations!

Hi Edyth, I enjoy your pictures so much. What a wonderful day at Pennys. The pockets and roll ups are great. My friend made me one from you book last year when I had surgery. I was thrilled. I used it to carry my meds with me from room to room while recovering at home. Thank you for letting us share this fun with you. Your friend, DebbieReplyDelete
If only your book was out before I worked and worked on pocket and rollup patterns for myself! I may have spent more time making them instead of drawing and re-drawing patterns, lol! These are all lovely Edyth!ReplyDelete

At Scottsdale Hills Animal Hospital we recommend the spaying and neutering of all our dog, cat, and rabbit patients. The reproductive organs of pets produce sex hormones. The removal of these organs prevents unwanted behaviors, cancer, disease and illnesses. This allows our pets to live longer, happier lives. Cats and dogs should ideally be between 4-6 months of age. However, older pets can and should be spayed or neutered as well.
Another huge advantage of spaying or neutering your pet is the effect this will have on the world-wide problem of pet overpopulation. Many pets are in rescues and shelters right now that need homes, and we hope youll feel confident that spaying or neutering your pet helps many others.
We have spay and neuter packages starting at only $. Call us today at (480) 948-0939 to schedule an appointment for your pet.
|Dog Spay
|Dog Neuter
A package that includes pre-operative
blood work, IV catheter, and fluids
can be added for $158.25!

|Under 40 pounds:

|Over 40 pounds:

Your pet will need to be up to date on vaccinations to be spayed or neutered. But more good news! We can vaccinate them in the same day for only $19 per vaccine. Please call to see what your pet needs!

Discover how you can use the power of the U.S. government to increase your export sales
Ex-Im Bank's working capital guarantee gives lenders the confidence to extend short-term loans to small- and medium-size businesses for their export funding needs.
This product allows you to increase your export sales on payment terms by protecting you against nonpayment when you extend credit to your international buyers. You may also obtain financing for your foreign receivables by assigning your insurance policy.
Lenders often will not provide medium- and long-term financing to buyers in emerging markets. The political and commercial environments in many foreign markets translate into high risk for many lenders. Moreover, credit from in-country lenders is often unavailable or prohibitively expensive to buyers. Thus, without financing, a U.S. exporter will not be able to make the sale. Ex-Im Bank's medium- and long-term financing support fills this void and enables U.S. exporters to compete with confidence worldwide.
Helps you assess your export readiness, understand what you need to know and consider before pursuing an international sales strategy, and, when you are ready, develop and implement your export strategy.

Somehow, we expected more from an interview with Ke$ha than endless love for the entire world and all its inhabitants, especially those parts and/or inhabitants of the world that involve her performing and/or collaborating. OK, sure, she talks about her "bad ass front" and how "TiK ToK" became a hit because she's a jackass on it. But that's about as edgy as things get–standard for a promotional interview, but so many missed opportunities!
Some of the many things that Ke$ha loves:
On Adele:
"I love Adele. I've been listening to her recently and she's so talented. I'd love to meet her. She's amazing."
On Beyonce:
"I'm a massive fan! I've always wanted to see her in concert, actually. Oh my god, her Billboard performance? Incredible."
On Glastonbury:
"I'm so excited about Glastonbury! It's always epitomised success in my mind. It's really exciting. I've wanted to play it for ages."
On "Toxic":
"I'm obsessed with the song Toxic. I think it's one of the best pop songs ever written."
We could go on, but we'd be quoting the entire interview at this point. So read it yourself!

The library's unveiling of the Chilkat Valley Storyboard Monday will include a presentation by author Thomas Thornton, "the guru of Southeast Alaska place names."
Library director Patty Brown said Thornton, who currently works at Oxford University, will speak about the importance of Tlingit place name preservation. Thornton's presentation coincides with the unveiling of the storyboard, an interactive exhibit meant to educate users about local history. It will be housed in the library's community area.
The storyboard, consisting of a 40-inch touch screen inlaid on a table, will display a map which users can touch to activate audio, video, and photographic displays. The map includes 30 places between Haines and Haines Junction, Y.T.
"This is a huge event. This has taken a lot of community and staff time to make this happen," Brown said.
The project is supported by the Chilkoot Indian Association as part of the "Crossing Boundaries through Communication" project, and is funded by an Institute of Museum and Library Services grant.
The event begins at 5:30 p.m. as an open house. Traditional and local food will be provided. A short video demonstration of how the storyboard works will precede Thornton's presentation at 6:30 p.m.

Dr. Clinton Joiner's love affair with science, and ultimately medicine, began in his own backyard.
Dr. Joiner, the new director of hematology at the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, started on his career path through a high school summer science program offered at Emory University in the mid-1960s. The project was admittedly low-tech: the study of slime molds, procured from woods in Druid Hills.
"I would tromp around and get fungi growing on dead logs and then happily take them back to the lab, where we would study plant growth factors," he said. "For the first time, this placed me into the world of microbiology and biochemistry."
Years later, Dr. Joiner is excited to return to his old stomping grounds. Joiner, who started on his career path in high school in Druid Hills, has returned to his hometown, bringing three decades (and five states) of experience to the table.
And with a history of more than 60 published papers and millions of dollars in grant funds, Dr. Joiner believes he can strengthen the Aflac Cancer Center of Children's reputation in the fields of hematology and sickle cell disease to expand from "not only the biggest, but the best."
With 600 hematology patients on average at each of the Children's facilities—and 1,700 pediatric sickle cell cases alone—the Aflac Cancer Center already offers a clinical program that is unmatched anywhere in the nation.
"The clinical strength of this program is a foundation for a research power house that could be unexcelled," said, Dr. Joiner, most recently the director of the Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center at the University of Cincinnati's College of Medicine. "If we can build upon the strengths we already have—by bringing in more people and additional programs—we will be able to create a critical mass of synergistic interactions that will be unmatched."
Specifically, Dr. Joiner sees three key areas he wants to bolster:
Right now, however, Dr. Joiner is reacquainting himself with the medical cultures of Atlanta—at both the Aflac Cancer Center and Emory University School of Medicine, where he is a professor of hematology. "My role is entirely supportive," he said. "Fantastic things are going to be done by the people here, and my job is to make it possible to let them do that—whether it is giving them the tools, removing the road blocks or running interference."
It's an amazingly macro approach for a doctor and researcher who has been on the frontlines of microbiology since he was a teenager.
Lured into the thrill of science by his Emory summer program teacher, Dr. Joiner said he never would have predicted that mold experiments would shape his life so profoundly.
"We were just kids," Dr. Joiner said, "but he taught us scientific method—and more importantly, he captured our imagination."
From there, Dr. Joiner went on to the Georgia Institute of Technology—ranking 3rd in his class. But he realized he didn't want to become an engineer.
This time, another influential man—his new father-in-law—suggested a change of course: medicine.
After "finagling" his way into Duke University's medical science program—and obtaining an M.D. and a Ph.D. in physiology and pharmacology, Dr. Joiner has held progressive leadership positions since he left Atlanta.
Happily, his career path included treating kids, he said, always keeping him grounded.
"They don't buy the pretense, they don't care about your degrees, or that you're a font of knowledge," he said, laughing. "They pee on you."
He delved into the world of neonatology and pediatric hematology—including molecular cancer treatment and red cell physiology—working under legendary physicians David G. Nathan and Samuel E. Lux at Harvard Medical School. "They were very demanding and very visionary," he said.
From Boston, Dr. Joiner returned to the South, landing in Birmingham at the University of Alabama, School of Medicine, and then to Cincinnati, where he made his home.
In 2010, Dr. Joiner became the director of the Division of Hematology, at the Cancer and Blood Diseases Institute, at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. In that position, he and his team garnered more than $10 million in research funding.
And it was Cincinnati where that Dr. Joiner was able to develop the strongest emotional connection between the bench and the bedside. He started visiting kids in the sickle cell clinic—something he had not had time to do in previous roles.
It changed him.
"I could see what it would mean to families," he said. "It gave me a much more subjective feel for this."
And now at the Aflac Cancer Center of Children's, he plans to tap into all of his experiences to be the best he can be—for his staff and for his littlest patients. It is something, he says, that completes a lifelong mission of discovery, and it feels like home.

Falls and Older Adults
Frequently Asked Questions
19. What can I do to prevent vision-related falls?
Have your vision tested regularly or if you think it has changed. Even a small change in vision can increase your risk of falling.
To prevent falls, wear your eyeglasses if you need them. Keep the lenses clean and be sure the frames are straight. If you get new glasses, be extra cautious as you get used to them. If you wear reading glasses or multi-focal lenses, take them off when you're walking to avoid missteps.

YORK TWP. — An 18-year-old Brunswick resident will be cited for improper passing following a crash Nov. 19 on Abbeyville Road, Ohio Highway Patrol Lt. Joshua Swindell said.
Kyle Lezark was listed in fair condition Wednesday at Cleveland MetroHealth Medical Center, a hospital spokesperson said. He had been listed in critical condition following the accident in which his Saturn struck a tree in the 4300 block of Abbeyville Road.
Lezark, a student at the Medina County Career Center, had to undergo more than one surgery, said Swindell, commander of the OHP's Medina post. The OHP was waiting for Lezark's condition to improve before citing him for the minor misdemeanor, he said.
Kyle Lezark struck a tree on Abbeyville Road with his Saturn on Nov. 19, injuring himself and causing two crashes. He faces a citation for improper passing. (Gazette file)
At the accident scene, Granger Township resident Christopher Brodzinski, 19, said Lezark sped up to go around him on Abbeyville and almost clipped his car's front end and a blue truck that was heading in the opposite direction.
"He came back over" into the right lane and "lost control when he hit the gravel," Brodzinski said. "I slowed down, but Lezark swerved and crashed."
Swindell said he suspects speed was a factor in the crash.
Minutes later, another accident occurred when a driver stopped on the side of the road to check on Lezark and his vehicle was hit, which pushed it into Brodzinski's car in a nearby driveway.

text: I writing with what might be a simple question regarding VNC. I couldn't find an answer on the VNC websites, nor did several archive searches turn up an answer. (At least that I understood) I am a volunteer network administrator for a local non-profit. I use VNC to get to the server, and then use a copy of VNC on that server to get to other machines on their network. But, obviously, there is quite a visual lag from the remote computer to the server to me. The IP address of the server is different than the IP addresses of the machines on the network. If I know the internal IP address of the machines on the network that I'm trying to get to, is there a way to bypass the intermediary server machine and VNC directly to the machine I want to access?

There was silence in the room.
Snow was slowly falling outside, and the only thing that could be heard was Gilbert's slow breath.
There was dead silence in the room.
Gilbert was trembling. No coat was warm enough, he felt like the three bodies beside him were making the air freeze. Like- every breath of them was cold.
But who cared? His friends were inside them.
What could happen to them was not -his- problem...
was it?
The room was so silent, he thought- like nobody was really in there- sleeping.
But- he had already experienced death before. He just had to... to wait... to w a i t
Everything would be alright, wouldn't it?
Snow was slowly falling outside. He stared at the small, soulless snowflakes. So perfect, so pure, so... white.
Like them. White... like... their dead bodies...
But, what's going to happen to the others!?
Are they going to be alright?
Are they going to be a l i v e ?
.....Am I going to be alone
Gilbert blinked as he looked at Matthew. That little nice guy, a friend who just needed a little attention to be happy... Roderich. The person who he had fought the most with... The only one that could shut him up---
And Feli.
Small little Feliciano, so pure and so naive, the one everyone couldn't do anything but care about. And he knew it well. His brother knew it also... his bruder...
He sighed.
"Oh, little Feli, why do you keep giving us so much trouble? My brother doesn't cook pasta good enough, isn't it?~"
Gilbert ruffled the pale red-haired man's head, to comfort himself.
That silence was too disturbing for him...
He didn't have time to glance at Feliciano' s pale face
a sick grin appeared on his lips.
it whispered
"WAS!?" Gilbert jumped behind, one hand on his heart- which was beating fast- and looked behind him.
Wasn't there... Matthew... where was him!?
Then at his right. Roderich!? Where was his bed-?!
In all directions.
His hands automatically got to his eyes. Was he blind? No! It couldn't be! He stepped ahead to find a light switcher, a light, anything... anything that could make him feel less alone.
Because I'm not alone.. right!?
But black was deep, deeper than night. Like every kind of thing could hide there. Anyone could hide.. he definitely wasn't alone. The question was, was he with alive people... or with the dead
Eventually, he found light. Well, he was not sure if he had found it himself or the light just appeared... but all appeared white. He could still see nothing.
Nothing at all...
Loneliness struck him again as he walked forward. He dragged his feet after him as he looked around. Everything weighted so much... like he couldn't walk...
Left, white
-Right, white
--Up, white
Something. What's that? He picked it up.
At his feet there was a paper sheet. But not just a sheet... a world map.
And there was written Prussia on it.
Gilbert instantly smiled, and started to laugh.
"I know this is another game of you guys! You came back and took England to make a sick joke, didn't you? Fine, fine, it's ok! Now get me out of this fu--ing thing!"
No reply.
"B-but I must say the whole thing of the sleep monster was a great idea, alright? You won! I got scared at hell, Austria! And yes, Francey-pants, I would prefer to be at home drinking beer!"
Again... silence.
The only things there were him, his map, his feet.
He looked at the map again. Yes, it was it, his country! His biggest wish, the thing he had missed more in his life... right there. He could touch the sharp paper. It wasn't old, it looked like it had just been printed. Like it was legal, it was true... Who could be the mind of such a joke?! Ivan? Alfred? Or Ludwig... my own bruder?
But in his eyes there was another question:
He threw the map down. His wish couldn't be granted! It had been said, there was no way to have his country back again... he had had to retreat... now he was alone. And with a stupid map...
He looked down.
Not only a stupid map... a million maps.
Prussia. Prussia. Prussia. Prussia. Prussia. Prussia. All at his feet, almost making a sea of paper. Prussia. Prussia. In different colors, sizes, but so many... Prussia. For all the times he had been denied. Prussia. Prussia. Prussia. All the times he had been fooled... and left... Prussia. Pru--
His eyes got filled with tears. He wanted to yell, to yell to that white! That was not a nice joke! Why was he alone?! And why that!? Why did they have to do such a thing?! Fool an already hopeless man?! What was the purpose, the meaning of such an act!!!
He wanted to yell. To scream. To let everything out.
But... as he looked up, his view radically changed.
Blue sky.
Green hills.
Fresh grass.
Soft light.
No more maps at his feet.. but people dancing. They weren't just people- they were his friends!
He looked, there was everyone... Alfred -who had a weird hat, Arthur- who was fixing his suit, Francis- who was pulling Antonio into a weird dance, then Lovino... even Roderich, Matthew, Feliciano!!!
He ran to them. They turned and smiled at him, and... they made him congrats! They said everything was alright. The scary monster was gone! And for his waiting, they had decided to give Gilbert something he really cared for... he really wanted.. his country!
Gilbert stood there, speechless, as the others started dancing around him, holding their hands, in circles.
It was so... so beautiful... it had always been his dream!
He started laughing in the middle of the circle, opened his arms, and added his voice to their ones, singing a happy song, singing his song! Loud, and clear!
His time was back!
His time was back!
The time of his awesomeness, the time of his happiness!
The time of not being alone!
Yes, the great Kingdom of Prussia was back!!!
Yes, the great Kingdom of Prussia was back!!!
They all sat at a big table, food was served to him like a real king, and nobody stopped singing, laughing, being happy! That was his return! His brother was happily eating, Feliciano was at his side, even Ivan and Feliks had a big smile on their lips for his return.
Things couldn't be better...
...when silence was made into the room.
"Gilbert" His brother started to speak. Gilbert looked at him, who had his usual pale face, his blonde hair perfect and a glass of wine- wine? why wine?- in his hand. "To declare it official, we want to see you on your king throne! Show us how big your power is, that Prussia is back!"
Gilbert smiled and blushed, turning back. Behind him, in an elevated position, there was a big throne made with deep black marble. And a white eagle carved on it. It was so clean it almost sparkled, in the now almost grey light that covered them like fog. It was so awesome, he thought. But he felt something weird, and turned back.
"Why should I, bruder, when we can eat so awesomely here? I will show my awesomeness only when my stomach is full! Kesesesese!"
Gilbert started to laugh at his own joke, but nobody did. They were staring at him, with blank expressions. No smiles or sad faces.
The same, blank expression, printed on everyone's face.........
"GilBert~" another voice, from behind, spoke to him. It was a light voice and it sounded weird... he would say, broken- "COme herE... to mE..."
He turned and looked back to his throne. Now, near it, there was a girl. He couldn't see her face as it almost was covered, but he could see the long hair and beautiful dress-- it was her! His girl!
He didn't have the strength to say her name, he just stood up from his chair and ran.
Ran to her, to his throne, to his forgotten country, to his denied being, to his dream.
Because he couldn't see that, behind him, the plants were withering... every golden leaf was breaking and falling...
the things were fading... the beautiful tables, the buildings of the town, the golden water glasses... everything was being lost...
the food was rotting... every apple shrank into itself, getting wrinkles like elderly ladies...
the air was getting black... so dark, and so sick... unbreathable...
and the smiling people... they were becoming just soulless shells of red-eyed demons. Red eyes like Gilbert.
But he didn't care.
He had what he loved...
He was happy.
And she took his hands as he made the last step to her... Her sick smile... going closer to his lips... to give him what he could desire most... because, if he could sacrifice his country for his brother, he couldn't forget his lust for his girl... it was too much to handle... too appealing to refuse
"I'm sO hApPY yOU FInaLlY caME bAck tO ME
Even his girl... his perfect girl... black veins were twirling on her fingers
Black cheeks were rolling near her eyes
Black lips were begging you to come
to your prisondream
"WAS!?" Gilbert snapped his eyes open. Why was he there? Where was she!? He didn't even have the time to kiss her!
But then his eyes blinked, and... he noticed that his arms were holding just... thin air.
And Matthew was sitting on his bed, screaming, with tears in his eyes.
Gilbert never told Matthew that his scream saved him.
But he never wished for his country again.
Even if... he could still make a call to his girl. Maybe... she was free for a beer.
And the dream could become real. For real.
"Mattie! Oh, it was you! Now that you've done oversleeping, what about you cook me some pancakes? I'm hungry! Kesesese~"

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Redecorator Tiny Coffee Press Is The Best I love the tiny coffee press. For those asking, I can get 11 oz of coffee out of it. You have to use a courser grind of coffee for it, which is the hardest part, because they're rarely labelled that way. They just say "ground." I find shaking the package will produce either a sandy sound or a gravel sound. That's how you can tell. This is easy to use. I wash it by hand. And of course, no filters or little plastic cups.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Coffeeluver Great Product Very happy with my Bodum French Press i would recommend this to friends! January 11, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by Janetoplanet Tiny! I love French presses, but this 3-cupper is way too tiny! It is well-made and stands up to the Bodum name. I ordered this thinking it would be perfect for my Husband's early morning cup, (his AeroPress has worn out) but it ends up not being the "cup" we are used to. Now we have two 8-cup Bodum's going every weekday morning. December 27, 2015

President's Report – May, 2012.
by Joe Dwyer
In addition to April showers, we also had some fine NABF Title bouts.
In a shocker on April 27 in Austin, Texas, WBC # 2 ranked Ismayl Sillakh was coasting to what appeared to be an easy victory when he was caught with a solid right hand by challenger Denis Grachev, which resulted in Sillakh's first loss and Grachev's winning the NABF light heavyweight title by TKO at 2:18 of the eighth round.
On April 14 in Atlantic City, N.J., Garrett Wilson scored a solid KO victory over Andres Taylor in an all-action bout for the vacant NABF cruiserweight title.
Upcoming Fights:
Johnathon Banks will defend the heavyweight title against mandatory challenger Tony Grano; negotiations are in progress at this time.
19 May – Montreal, Canada: Dierry Jean vs Cosme Rivera for the vacant super lightweight title.
26 May - Tucson, AZ: Hanzel Martinez vs Jose German Cruz for the vacant NABF super flyweight title.
7 July - Atlantic City, NJ: Patrick Majewski vs Chris Fitzpatrick for the vacant NABF middleweight title.
Tentative dates are December 3 through 8 at the Gran Oasis, Cancun. We are working with Convention Chairman Chuck Williams in preparing our NABF program at this time. A joint convention will best serve the needs of our members, as it means saving them the expense of attending an additional convention while enjoying the occasion of observing the WBC 50th Anniversary celebration.
It's time to start planning for next year. Some thoughts include, Florida, Mississippi, Boston, Chicago. Let us know your thoughts!!!
We will have had 37 NABF title bouts in the year since our last convention, a record for NABF title bouts.
Our NABF title is clearly the way to a WBC world title, thanks to the watchful eyes of WBC President Jose Sulaiman, Claude Jackson, Ed Pearson, and the WBC Ratings Committee.
Current WBC Rating of our Champions:
Heavyweight - Johnathon Banks - WBC # 5
Cruiserweight - Garrett Wilson - WBC # 14
Light Heavyweight - Denis Grachev - WBC # 5
Super Middle - Dyah Davis - WBC # 4
Welterweight - Thomas Dulorme - WBC # 3
Lightweight - Hank Lundy - WBC # 2
Super Feather - Diego Magdaleno - WBC # 1
Featherweight - Mikey Garcia - WBC # 2
Super Bantam - Efrain Esquivias - WBC # 18
Bantamweight - Christian Esquivel - WBC # 5
Light Flyweight - Pedro Guevara - WBC # 9
Strawweight - Mario Rodriguez - WBC # 7
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Matthew McConaughey has long been underrated as an actor. Sometimes, when you're that hot, your physical talents of sexy abs and a killer smile get in the way of becoming taken seriously as an actor.
Yes, we've all heard stories of him running around, scantily clad playing the bongos. On that note, he likely has been often disregarded as TMZ fotter.
But McConaughey's career has been snowballing into a terrific body of work instead of a hot body of muscle. He's been on the "almost nominated" list of Oscar contenders in the last few years with his great work in "Mud," "Bernie" and even "Magic Mike," where he's able to act the hell out of a scene all the while stripping. "Mike" is the perfect example of the best of both worlds.
All of that exuded sexiness has lead to the crowning moment that is McConaughey today...the Best Actor Oscar Nominee for "Dallas Buyers Club," which can now be viewed by all as it comes out on DVD Tuesday, Feb. 4 - a whole month before the Academy Awards.
McConaughey - and every physically beautiful person before him - has done the impossible. He immerses himself in a role so deep that we forget it's McConaughey, but instead focus on the man he becomes, real life Ron Woodroof, one of the first AIDS patience.
Woofroof is a womanizes rodeo gambling hustler that is freewheeling much of the beginning of the film, ignoring every sign that his health is failing. Continuing a life of sexual threeways with women, smoking and drinking, Woodroof is stunned when he's delivered the news that he has the "gay cancer" as he isn't gay at all.
The movie follows Woodroof's journey to learning to be his own advocate and not accepting the rhetoric he is provided from hospital officials and the solitude he now lives with as his friends all think that they can contact the diseases simply by touching Woodroof. His journey ends up not being so alone thanks to a doctor played by Jennifer Garner and a tranny played by fellow Oscar nominee Jared Leto.
The movie makes enormous strikes in showing how early HIV patients were shunned simply by the lack of knowledge on the diseases and shows how we all really need to play a role in our own recovery and treatment.
"Dallas Buyers Club," also nominated for Best Picture, offers great character studies and insight and never sinks to melodrama.
Lately Leto has been getting so much attention for his amazing portrayal, but the core, heart, soul and canvass of "Dallas Buyers Club" is all Matthew McConaughey.
The beautiful people like McConaughey have it harder than most actors as they've become more infamous as a celebrity that it's harder for an audience to accept them in anything that isn't superficial. McConaughey makes us all forget his sexy body, his famous persona and instead, gives us a heart wrenching deep, multi-layered performance that is easily the performance of his career.
"Dallas Buyers Club" is available today for rent, buy or on VOD. For those who buy it, I suggest the combo pack which costs a few dollars more and you get the regular DVD, BluRay and digitial version for one price.

PRESS RELEASE: Direct from Greenille Technical College
Leland G. Ferguson, Ph.D., distinguished professor emeritus of the University of South Carolina Department of Anthropology, will discuss his book, God's Fields, Landscape, Religion, and Race in Moravian Wachovia. The lecture will be held on Thursday, February 28 at 7:30 p.m. on Greenville Tech's Barton Campus in the auditorium of building 104. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Dr. Ferguson's work in reconstructing the history of the Moravian church in North America and its presence in North Carolina revealed that while members preached the unity of all humans under God, they gradually came to embrace the institutions of slavery and racial segregation in opposition to their religious beliefs. Ferguson's work in reconstructing this history, which the church kept secret. helped convince the Moravian Church in North America to formally apologize in 2006 for its participation in slavery.

Gwyneth Paltrow
Los Angeles, California
"Beauty, to me is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick."
- Gwyneth Paltrow
Thanks to a deranged Kevin Spacey in Se7en, Gwyneth Paltrow had her head in a box years before Justin Timberlake made it funny to put other things inside one. The film and her romance with Brad Pitt made her a tabloid favorite, but Gwyneth Paltrow later showed the entertainment world that she was worthy of fame on her own accord with an Oscar-winning tour-de-force in Shakespeare in Love.
In her post-Oscar career, Gwyneth Paltrow is perhaps most proud of smaller-minded indie efforts like The Royal Tenenbaums, Sylvia and Proof, but she is far more recognizable in more mainstream efforts like Shallow Hal and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Most recently, she has reemerged on the mainstream as the world's most desirable superhero assistant in Iron Man and its 2010 sequel.
In her post-Oscar career, Gwyneth Paltrow is perhaps most proud of smaller-minded indie efforts like The Royal Tenenbaums, Sylvia and Proof, but she is far more recognizable in more mainstream efforts like Shallow Hal and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Most recently, she has reemerged on the mainstream as the world's most desirable superhero assistant in Iron Man and its 2010 sequel.
Following her breakup with Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow found comfort in the arms of another costar, Ben Affleck. The two costarred in Shakespeare in Love and Bounce, but their coupling wasn't meant for wedding vows, either. Instead, marriage and motherhood would come from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, who met Gwyneth Paltrow after a concert a few months after her father's passing. As a tribute to her father, he would write the song "Fix You" and marry her within a year. Now a Londoner, Gwyneth Paltrow stays close to home when she isn't working, so she can raise her two children, Apple and Moses.
Gwyneth Paltrow was once branded the "Most Stuck-Up Actress" by Movieline. It may have been true at one time, but she has displayed a tendency to let loose and have fun when she so desires. She once picked a verbal celebrity catfight by imitating Sharon Stone in an amusing Saturday Night Live and also earned pop culture kudos with a cameo as Dixie Normous alongside Tom Cruise in Austin Powers in Goldmember. At the end of the day, however, Gwyneth Paltrow prefers to use her fame to make quality films and support good causes. She's an Estee Lauder model for the Pleasures line -- where a portion of sales regularly go toward cancer research. In addition, she also works closely with Save the Children and New York's poverty-focused Robin Hood Foundation.
Gwyneth Paltrow BiographyGwyneth Paltrow inherited show business at birth. Although her mother was respected actress Blythe Danner and her father, producer Bruce Paltrow, was regularly writing her name into P.A. announcements on his popular medical-themed series, St. Elsewhere, Gwyneth Paltrow initially balked at being involved in the arts. In New York, her parents regularly attended live theater with the reluctant young Paltrow going along for the ride. Gwyneth Paltrow's childhood also included a friendship with SNL star Maya Rudolph and a year-long student exchange in Spain. By the time she finished high school at the highly-regarded Spence School, the acting bug had bitten Gwyneth Paltrow and she made her acting debut in Massachusetts at the 1990 Williamstown Theatre Festival. She would return to Williamstown a year later to star in a revival of Picnic with her mother as a costar.
In 1991, Gwyneth Paltrow landed her first film role in Shout, a John Travolta vehicle about an influential Texas music teacher in the 1950s. Given that this was pre-Pulp Fiction John Travolta, the film didn't make a dent at the box office, but Steven Spielberg, a friend of Bruce Paltrow, gave Gwyneth Paltrow greater exposure through a role in 1991's Hook as the young incarnation of Wendy. After playing a deceitful con artist in 1993's Flesh and Bone, Gwyneth Paltrow was chosen by David Fincher to star opposite Brad Pitt in his new film Se7en. The role of a police detective's supportive wife had been played before in countless films, but the story arc of Gwyneth Paltrow's character, Tracy Mills, was so memorably tragic that it instantly stood out and made a new movie fad out of unhappy endings.
gwyneth paltrow stars in shakespeare in love and shallow halWhile her off-screen romance with Brad Pitt created a tabloid frenzy, Gwyneth Paltrow used the attention to her advantage by snagging lead roles as a matchmaker who meets her match in 1996's Emma, a waitress whose life goes in two different directions simultaneously in 1998's Sliding Doors, and a trophy wife who escapes her own murder in 1998's A Perfect Murder. Now considered something greater than just Brad Pitt's girlfriend, Gwyneth Paltrow hit her critical peak that year when she played the ambitious performer Viola De Lesseps, an aspiring actress who captures the Bard's heart in Shakespeare in Love. For her flawless performance, she won the Oscar statuette for Best Actress and found herself besieged by numerous acting offers.
With so many projects to choose from after Shakespeare in Love, Gwyneth Paltrow was admittedly overwhelmed, but showed her acting versatility across a number of genres. 1999's The Talented Mr. Ripley saw her get mixed up with the murderous Matt Damon, while 2000's Duets didn't fare well at the box office, but did allow her to sing a breezy cover of "Cruisin'" with Huey Lewis and be directed by her dad for the first time. One of Gwyneth Paltrow's most image-altering roles also came in 2000. For the film Shallow Hal, she wore a fat suit to play an obese woman whose inner-beauty shines through to Jack Black. She researched the role by going out to the bar in the suit and was met with much avoidance and ignorant behavior.
gwyneth paltrow stars in iron man and appears in spain... on the road againAfter her role as the only orphan in a family of eccentrics for Wes Anderson's The Royal Tenenbaums, Gwyneth Paltrow left for the London Stage to star opposite the legendary Anthony Hopkins in a 2002 production of Proof. Playing a woman questioning her sanity, she was effective in her performance and brought the role to life on screen in the 2005 film of the same name, which led to a Golden Globe nomination. Having spent much of the decade starring in lesser-known films and caring for her new family, Gwyneth Paltrow returned to the mainstream in 2008 as Pepper Potts, the love interest to Robert Downey Jr. in the summer box office smash Iron Man. Reluctant to take the role early on, Gwyneth Paltrow signed on for the movie after her leading man playfully suggested to that she needed to be in a film that the mainstream public would watch.
Before 2008 was complete, Gwyneth Paltrow made a triumphant return to Spain alongside master chef Mario Batali for PBS's foodie favorite, Spain… on the road again. Afterward, she returned to movies for what was purported to be Joaquin Phoenix's last film role, Two Lovers, before reprising her role of Pepper Potts in 2010's highly-anticipated Iron Man 2.

As previously reported, the Thursday shooting appeared to be a failed robbery attempt. Police say the suspect walked up to the 20-year-old victim, pointed a semi-automatic handgun at his chest and demanded his belongings. The victim pushed the gun away and was shot in the leg.
The shooter fled, but police did recover a bullet casing and a sweatshirt discarded in a nearby neighborhood.
The suspect is described as a black male, 18-20 years old, between 5-foot-6 and 5-foot-9, medium build, clean-shaven and wearing a dark knit hat, a dark sweatshirt and tan pants.
Anybody with information should contact the Ferndale Police Department at 248-541-3650 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800 SPEAK UP (800-773-2587).
