So Yasuna can't even fish without doing something stupid. Still the traps she laid did actually do help. Sonya may not like it but it seems that the stupid tricks from Yasuna actually make it difficult for other assassins to get to Sonya. They annoy everybody .
I hope we get more of Agiri and the useless 4th character. They had too small roles in the previous episodes.
Episode 10 already and it remains the same all the time. Yasuna did act like she doesn't have a brain or better said as a simple minded child. Still that is the strength (and at the same time weakness) of her character. As this series is only for comedy reasons it is good enough.
For the episode itself: the snow part was okay. Yasuna acts as expected. The cold scene and the remote scene both felt a bit weak as they didn't do something original. The christmas party was a surprise. Yasuna actually wanted to have a nice party with Sonya and Agiri. How the heck did Agiri sneak behind them? Even Sonya was surprised that time. Sonya as a sort of santa was also good. The best was the see her get shot for trespassing. In all it wasn't a bad episode but we do need some fresh characters like more from Agiri and the useless fourth character.
Episode 11 and now we even get to see Yasuna's dreams. As expected they are really strange..the best one was when she thought herself to be a magical girl. Carrot max forward miracle..how did she ever think of that
Also Agiri had some pretty good scenes with the mochi story. A substitute substitute.
The best was at the end however when Yasuna used that magic wand toy. How the heck did Agiri do that? Sonya sure got the scare of her life.
I wonder why Sonya didn't want to go into a public bath. Is she afraid or something?
^ Shy probably? Or maybe uncomfortable leaving all her knives outside XD
I didn't like the "dreams" all that much though, too pop-culture-referencey for my taste.
Pretty much two of the three dreams were your given Japanesse Classical Stories, but I have to say the story of the bamboo cutter will forever be warped due to the Touhou game Imperishable Night for me.
In any case I have to say the whole mooshi thing seemed rather interesting, and again a Touhou reference for me (from the same game mind you).
In any case I kind of liked seeing our lil' no named red head make another appearance like this since ti seems like she may get a name right about the time they cut away to the ED credits for the final episode.
Not only that but Agari's bits in this episode were pretty much classic lolzy material. It almost makes me thing she actually has a sister or something with the gag she was pulling.

^ I know Momotarou, what was the other one?
Well the other one was supposed to be the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, but seeing how ditzy she was it was kind of obvious that the story would be rather.... off.
Okay with episode 12 I have to say I did actually enjoy this series very much so with its random antics here and there, but some of the jokes and gags did get lost in translation and/or didn't stike me as funny or interesting for that matter.
In any case one more epsiode is left and I kind of wonder if the unused girl will almost get a name right before the end credits here. I mean it sounds like something they would do in this series anyways.
In any case this was one of those series that was a good time killer and had its enjoyable moments here and there.

Hmm, i found this episode weaker compared to previous episodes. The tired Sonya with Yasuna keeping her awake was the best part for me. I miss Agiri and the unused girl in this episode as they could have made it better.
Hopefully the next episode will be a good conclusion to the series.
Weaker? I thought this last one was downright hilarious! Sure, the series is very hit and miss, but that one was definitely a hit.
Maybe that is to be expected with this series. Each joke can be funny for a group of people while another group of people don't find it very funny. Fortunately this series has a lot of jokes in each episode to give everybody what they want. This time i found most jokes to be not funny enough. Next time it may be different
Kill Me Baby is one of the 6 projects animated by J.C. Staff in Winter 2012. I'll keep this short, since this show really needs no further explanation.
Story? What story? It's a chibi-comedy show that is far from Di Gi Charat, which the director drew the character designs for. The puns in this show are generally bad and as far as I recalled, I never laughed once in this show let alone chuckled. The last episode was definitely more entertaining than the rest, but still no chuckles. The impact may have been less since by episode 13, we all knew what Sonya's general reactions to Yasuna's stupid attempts are and so forth. The comedy is literally the same every episode: Yasuna does something stupid, Sonya punishes her for it, and Agiri is just there along with the Kugimiya character that I can't remember the name of. Rinse and repeat each episode..I expected better from the composer who wrote Bottle Fairy.
Animation? 6 projects one season, it should be obvious that everything about this show was cheap. Did I mention that a lot of the animation was recycled too? The background art was average at best.
Music? Hated the guts out of it. Seiyuu was bad except Satomi Arai doing the narration. How could no one like Kuroko's narration?
Enjoyment? None.
Overall, I don't recall the last time I was this bored with a comedy show. I had low expectations to begin with, but I never thought it would be this bad. Like I said, the last episode was the best, and that's probably all you really need to watch to be honest. The show is a rinse and repeat formula and it gets old really fast.
Preliminary Score: 4/10
Final Score: 2/10
Pretty sure the last show I rated a 2 was one of the Hinako OVAs...yeah it's that bad.

Hmm, i liked the last episode the best of the series. This time Yasuna actually showed how much she cares for Sonya and Sonya also replies to it.
In all it was a nice enough series for me. Not the best jokes i've ever seen. One big negative was the lack of use of all characters. Agiri and the backup girl should have been used more. Only Yasuna and Sonya as main characters means to keep on recycling their behaviour. As such the jokes were repetative.
Due to this I am going for a low score: 4.5 out of 10.
Man I feel like I'm the one who ended up kind of merciful to this show. Granted it was you standard 4-koma turned anime that pretty much had no plot whatsoever other then being kind of an attempt at a slice-of-life series here.
In any case since the jokes of the show were a hit or miss deal at times it felt like a good show to kill time with if needed. So I kind of gave this show a 6/10 since it lived up to its role of being a time killing anime to watch.

Well, it was a wacky Japanese comedy. What a surprise. Still, I found that, despite the jokes being kind of up-and-down in quality, the show made me laugh at least a few times per episode - which is better than some other shows. The comedy wasn't all funny, but it was all natural - compared to, for example, Nichijou, where the tenuous and "way out there" gags completely put me off. And at least it wasn't the now-tired and typical 4-girl comedy, and used more of a manzai-style gags. While true hilarity was kind of rare (though great when there), the show definitely earned its keep. It was also paced out rather well despite an apparent lack of good source material, and rarely felt boring.
The show's biggest problem was the characters, they were kind of weak and pretty far-fetched. Not to mention that there was absolutely no effort to dress up their cardboard cliche roles, which made for some very bare-bones comedy. So, the show could have been a lot better, but it wasn't. Bad it wasn't either.
All in all, the show confidently earns its "Good" (7/10) mark, and I totally wouldn't mind a sequel or another show in the same vein.

This really should have happened quite a few times more. Now I often wondered why Sonya puts up with Yasuna when she dislikes her so much.

With the top free agents mostly signed, NBA.com's John Schuhmann used Twitter on Monday afternoon to ask a simple question:
"So is Ron Adams the best available free agent at this point?"
The assistant coach had been Tom Thibodeau's right hand man in Chicago, but the Bulls decided not to renew his contract when it expired this summer. General manager Gar Forman implied that Thibodeau disagreed with the choice, and it didn't take long for Adams' suitors to line up.
According to the Boston Globe, Doc Rivers wanted Adams for the Los Angeles Clippers. K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune added that the coach also drew interest from the San Antonio Spurs, Indiana Pacers, Oklahoma City Thunder and Brooklyn Nets.
Adams reportedly chose the Boston Celtics instead.
What does it all mean? Adams is a respected assistant coach with a wealth of experience. We knew that before Chicago decided not to renew his deal. But based on his suitors – Rivers and Thibodeau are very tight friends, the other organizations to lust after Adams are all smart, and the Celtics presumably know Thibodeau as well as any non-Chicago team – I'd also imagine that whatever caused the Bulls to let go of Adams shouldn't hurt his performance as a coach next season. If those teams all wanted him, chances are that Chicago dropped him for A) monetary purposes, or B) something petty that shouldn't affect the Celtics in the least.
Bottom line: Brad Stevens needed NBA experience on his staff and Adams has it in spades. Plus, the Celtics beat out Rivers for his services. That doesn't help or hurt the hire, but it probably brought a smile to some fans.

U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise, R-Jefferson, has paid $15,000 for Vice President Dick Cheney's travel to New Orleans for a campaign fundraiser, addressing a point that his re-election opponent used to attack him.
Scalise's campaign sent the money to the Republican National Committee in September, according to a campaign finance report he filed last week with the Federal Election Commission. Campaign spokesman Jason Hebert said the money covers the 1st Congressional District incumbent's portion of Cheney's travel on Oct 6.
On that day, the vice president flew in from Washington for the Scalise event at Arnaud's restaurant in the French Quarter, then to Baton Rouge to help GOP candidate Bill Cassidy in the 6th District and back to Washington.
Hebert provided a pricing quotation from the White House saying that the Republican National Committee uses FEC guidelines to determine the required reimbursement amount. "The devised cost formula is bipartisan and has been used by" every president beginning with President Reagan, according to the White House statement.
Hebert said the Arnaud's fundraiser generated more than $200,000 for the Scalise campaign and that checks are still coming in. Tickets for the event started at $1,000. For $2,300, backers got their photograph taken with the vice president.
Scalise's Democratic challenger in the Nov. 4 election, Jim Harlan of Lacombe, has suggested that the Cheney trip cost taxpayers $500,000. He cited a 2006 report for U.S. Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., by congressional staffers who estimated travel on Air Force Two costs $14,552 per hour in 2002 figures.
"If Steve Scalise wants to rein in wasteful government spending, he needs to start with his own," Harlan spokeswoman Stephanie Stanley said.
. . . . . . .
WHO'S BACKING WHOM? Scalise announced a couple of endorsements Monday, from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Esquire magazine.
The chamber noted Scalise's support of small and large businesses. Esquire's November issue cites Scalise for his goals of restoring coastal wetlands and re-establishing the Veterans Administration Medical Center in New Orleans.
But Louisiana politics might be a little ahead of Esquire. The magazine's Web site gives Scalise two opponents: Harlan and Gilda Reed. Reed lost the May 3 special election to Scalise and is not on the Nov. 4 ballot.

"The only shoes I know how to wear are my own," Bates said.
So don't bother asking the new head coach of the Princeton lacrosse team, which will renew its intense rivalry with Syracuse at 6:30 p.m. Saturday (ESPNU) in the Big City Classic at the New Meadowlands Stadium, what it feels like to replace a legend. Bates sits in Bill Tierney's office now, has the same phone number, feels the same pressure to win national championships. Yet, when he looks in the mirror – or at his feet – he sees only Chris Bates.
"I'm honored to be sitting in this seat," Bates said the other day. "But at the same time I have a job to do. It may sound goofy, but I only feel his presence in a positive way. He has been wonderfully supportive."
Tierney, who led the Tigers to six Division 1 national titles from 1992-2001, shocked the lacrosse world by resigning following last season to take the top job at Denver. When longtime Tierney assistant Dave Metzbower turned down the job a long search process ensued. Among those interviewed was Le Moyne coach Dan Sheehan.
Ultimately, the school turned to Bates, who had played against Princeton while attending Dartmouth and had done wonders as head coach at Drexel. The team had won as many as 10 games only three times in 60 seasons before Bates guided it to 11 victories in 2007 and 13 in 2008 and a couple of Colonial Athletic Association titles and NCAA Tournament appearances.
"This is a different animal," he said. "We worked hard to build Drexel up from the bottom level. It is a little different when you inherit the Ivy tower. It is a different expectation."
And Bates has a decidedly different approach to coaching than Tierney, whose innovative defense schemes guided Princeton to national prominence in the 1990s. SU head coach John Desko said the Tigers under Bates resemble Syracuse in their style of play more than Princeton teams under Tierney. Translation: They like to get up and down the field and are unafraid to press any advantage they see on offense.
"We're structurally a little different just from the standpoint how we do things," Bates said. "It is a little more read and react, trying to be athletic between the lines."
Bates said the transition to . . . well, transition . . . has been tough at times.
"I see our defensive midfielders get the ball over midfield, immediately pass to an attackman and head to the sideline," he said. "I have to plead with them to stay on the field, play some five-on-five, see what happens. I'm asking them to at least think about it. I want them to take good opportunities, as long as the decision-making is good."
Such an approach might be considered blasphemous at Princeton, but nobody is arguing with the results. The Tigers (7-1) will enter Saturday's game against No. 3 Syracuse (7-1) ranked No. 5 in the nation, their lone loss a one-goal setback to No. 2 North Carolina. They are averaging 11.13 goals per game.
"To a certain degree the transition has been smooth," Bates said, "but nothing has been easy come game-time. Everything's been a nail-biter. I'm pretty pleased with where we are."
Where Bates and his assistant coaches – one of them is West Genesee alum and former Loyola star Stephen Brundage – are is in the first stage of remolding Princeton lacrosse in their image. The shift in direction and philosophy has met with little resistance on campus due to the harsh reality that while Princeton remains one of only four teams to win a D-I crown since 1991 – SU, Virginia and Johns Hopkins are the others – it has not won one since 2001. It has not been in a Final Four since 2004 and has been supplanted by Cornell as the team to beat in the Ivy League.
"The thing we've focused on with these guys is this team has done zero," Bates said. "In terms of the Ivy League and the Final Four we are starting from scratch relative to recent history."
That noted, the echoes of the 1990s and Princeton supremacy under Tierney can still be heard.
"It's in the DNA here," Bates said. "If you've experienced it as a player you want the next generation to feel it as well. Only a few teams in the nation have that built in. It is one of reasons I'm here. I want to live at the highest level. We like expectations."
As for shoes, though, Chris Bates only knows how to wear his own.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - Charges could come as early as today in the weekend abduction and robbery of a pregnant nurse.
The 30-year-old suspect was captured in the Sunday's pre-dawn hours and remains in the Birmingham City Jail. His name is being withheld pending formal charges.
Court records show the suspect is no stranger to crime. He was convicted of robbery in Jefferson County in 2002 and served five years of a 20-year split sentence. He was released from prison in 2006 since he had 249 days in pre-conviction jail credit.
The abduction happened about 6:45 p.m. Saturday as the nurse was leaving Princeton Baptist Medical Center. She was on the phone with her husband and walking to her car in the parking lot when the man abducted her.
Police and family members were able to make contact with her by cell phone during the abduction and she told them she was fine, but they could tell something wasn't right. Hospital surveillance video confirmed their fears, and a search was launched.
After forcing her into her own vehicle, the suspect ordered her to drive to several ATM machines, and a check cashing business, before they were successful in getting out money. She let the man out in the Avondale area about 10 p.m. and then drove to a nearby fire station for help.
Police then flooded the area, searching for the suspect. They had him identified in a couple of hours, and in custody before dawn. He was booked into the city jail just after 4 a.m.
The nurse, who is almost eight months pregnant, was checked out for injuries but was OK. She then returned home to her family, where she has been resting. She said today she appreciated all of the interest and prayer sent her way, but declined to be publicly identified or interviewed saying she wants to put the ordeal behind her.
The victim's grandmother said nearly two dozen family members gathered at her home Saturday night, on their knees praying until they learned the woman was released unharmed. "God got us through,'' the grandmother said.
Hospital officials said in a Sunday statement that safety for patients, families, visitors, volunteers and employees is a top priority for Baptist Heath System.

Highlites at home?
Posted by + Show Post
Hey ladies! This is my first post to this group I'm still semi new to cafemom but I was wondering if any of you guys have tried doing foil highlites at home and how it turned out etc. I went to the salon today to check prices and they were pretty rude and way to expensive (at a cheaper salon). So any suggestions or stories would be appreciated. Thank you!
Replies (11-12):
I think it's best to have it done at a salon unless you have some sort of training (and help from a friend). Lots of things can go wrong, the color, color bleeding, not getting close enough to the root, not toning when the color needs to be toned... A lot of home jobs end up in the salon anyway. I learned this lesson the hard way a few too many times.
if you dont have home coloring experience, don't. find a better salon that in;t rude, or a school.

Updating the potential roster picture: Friday
What ended up being a regrettable finale for Jacob Turner ended up being a good day for helping the Tigers sort out their bullpen. Al Alburquerque got the inning he needed, and while he wasn't as sharp as he'll need to be come postseason play in a week, he was healthy. He'll sit on Friday, then Jim Leyland hopes to test him with an inning each on Saturday and Sunday.
Assuming Alburquerque gets through that, I'd say he's pretty much a lock for the postseason roster, leaving Leyland and the Tigers with one less bullpen decision. If you count the guys who are good to go (Valverde, Benoit, Schlereth, Coke, Alburquerque if he's healthy), it could leave with maybe only one or two.
"I don't think there's any secret we're looking," Leyland said. "That's as simple as it is. There's no sense in trying to hide that from the players. There's no sense in trying to hide that from the media, the fans. At some point, we're going to have to decide on a roster."
Some of that could depend on who the Tigers face. A meeting with the Yankees or Red Sox could place a premium on lefty relievers for a pitching staff that doesn't have a lefty starter. Granted, the Tigers like some of their righties against left-handed hitters, especially Benoit and Alburquerque, but that doesn't mean they'll try to leverage that strength rather than play an opponent's weakness.
Duane Below isn't a lefty reliever by the stereotype, but he's a lefty. And while lefties have hit him a little bit harder, his strikeout-to-walk ratio against them in his limited time is much stronger. It's that skill that would be a stronger ticket onto the postseason roster than long relief, which becomes less of a necessity in a short series but still potentially useful for damage control later in the series. If the Tigers have to reliever Justin Verlander or Doug Fister early in one of the first two games, they have much deeper trouble than long relief.
That same issue seemingly doesn't play in Pauley's favor, being right-hander. But while he took the loss, Leyland said he looked better.
"In fairness to him, he really hasn't gotten to pitch a whole lot since he's been here," Leyland said. "So we're trying to get him some work as well."
Perry, Leyland said, looked better as well. He's had more good outings lately, Leyland said, than subpar ones.
"But he still needs a little more consistency," Leyland said.
For a postseason pitching staff, if the decision's on talent, there's a spot for Perry, the former first-round pick with a penchant for quick, solid innings. But he might help his case just as much of he can avoid breakdowns like he had in Oakland, though that one admittedly came the afternoon after the Tigers' division celebration.
The Tigers still need to know more on Wilson Betemit and Carlos Guillen before they can make decisions on the positional roster. If Betemit's fine, their decisions whittle down tremendously. Guillen said he isn't sure about his readiness for the postseason in a week. He can neither run nor swing a bat yet, and his Thursday work was limited to therapy.
Betemit, meanwhile, has hopes of playing Friday. Assuming he's ready for the postseason, he slots in well as part of a third-base mix with Brandon Inge. Right field could be a three-man mix with Magglio Ordonez, Don Kelly and Andy Dirks. Yes, Dirks and Kelly both bat left-handed, but if the Tigers choose to keep Dirks, that could free up Kelly for a late-inning role in the outfield or third base. Dirks also brings some speed to him.
Add the Santiago/Raburn mix at second, and if the Tigers keep Dirks, they're left with one more position spot, and a few different ways they can go.
– They could protect themselves at catcher by keeping Omir Santos. Yes, they have the option of making a roster move mid-series if Alex Avila were to be injured. But if they did that, by rule, he would have to miss the next round. That's a huge conundrum if Avila were to have a day-to-day injury. Leyland said Thursday he can catch Martinez if he wanted, surprising all of us. But the fact remains that he hasn't, not even for an inning in a blowout.
– They could go with another runner with Will Rhymes, and a batter who can lay down a bunt in a key situation. That might make better sense in the later rounds than it does now, but it's still possible.
– They could add Guillen if he's healthy. That's sounding like a big if right now.
– They could add Danny Worth, but that would seemingly make more sense if Betemit or another infielder isn't able to go.

"Obviously, you could see the rust on Jacob," Leyland said. "That's OK. We didn't expect much different."
Heckuva an admission for someone who is espousing to win ball games at this time.
Agreed Dan, but if this is a tansitional game to set things in place the rest of the way then it was worth it. If….and I say if this is not the case and the Tigers are not 'Pedal to the Metal' the rest of the way I'd be concerned. I expect the Tigers to be business as usual and work opposing pitchers, bunt, move the runners over and really practice the art of winning a ballgame. I expect the Manager of the Year to act like it and his team to be the evidence of it. To not be at least the image of the attitude and work ethic that got them here would be a dissapointment on the scale of '09, at least to me. The reason is that it would again indicate that a certain maturity has not yet occured.
I so wanted a bunt last night by Jhonny in I think the 6th inning, instead he hit into a double play. Am guessing he can't bunt or the skip assumed he would hit something better. He has had a good year but seems a bit lost right now. The winning run last night by the O's was scored on such a bloop, too bad for the pitcher on that, but those are the breaks. Nice to see Young crank one out.
so who is pitching tonight? I thought I heard JV was pitching on Saturday.
How many games does the Tigers needs to win to play in homefield advantage?
Zero to six, depending on what Texas does.
Starting Turner was the price paid for moving Fister to #2. That's basically why we lost last night. There's no way that Turner was going to pitch well.
The playoff roster is more of a discussion matter. Everyone pretty much knows who is on it, barring injuries. The goal now is to beat out Texas, and that's within reach. I see no reason to change the way we do things.
wait, y was there no way turner was going to pitch well? I thought he did alright last time out there….
He hadn't pitched since September 1st, I think it was. Three weeks ago. Can't expect much in that scenario.
hmm i guess that is a good point – yea, they don't have those boys pitching like simulated games or anything?
They could have thrown Below for 3 or 4 and then pitch by comittee. This would have given Below his work and a prescribed amount of work for the pen. As it was, Coke threw to ONE hitter. He hasn't thrown much and could use a bit more regular work than that.
I too was curious about Turner, but had my curiosity satisfied after the Jones homer. I would have yanked him right then and there and not given him the chance to pitch to 2 more batters who also reached safely.
Anyway, the skipper can't treat the remaining 6 games with anything other than absolute determination to win. No more experimentation.
As mentioned above, he also needs to start making demands of his everyday players that they have not been accountable for to this point.
Bunting with Peralta is an example. You can also hit & run a bit more to stay out of those rally killing DPs.
I don't believe these guys can't bunt. I don't believe they like to very much or are very good at it, but they should be doing this in BP, because bunting and base-running will win or lose games for us.
JL had Inge lay one down the other day and was successful, if I remember correctly.
If a guy is not hitting he can still help out offensively. The worst thing to do is to try to overswing your way out of a slump.
Reality tells me that Guillen is not going to be able to contribute. Let's face it, you are expecting a guy to come back as a one dimensional asset. To provid clout at the plate and he has had virtually no playing time this year (and not much the last couple of years) to confirm he will be able to do that. That's Hope & Dream.
Carlos is one of my favourite players but this squad is so challenged defensively and speed-wise that it can't afford to carry him on the playoff roster out of admiration or hope that he might get a hit or two.
If I had to pick Worth or Rhymes I'd go with Worth. Rhymes has a much greater chance of choking under pressure defensively than Danny does. An infield with Worth in it protecting a lead in the 9th is a better one than one with Will in it.
Rhymes may be faster (but really not much–Worth can run too) but with JL at the helm speed won't factor much anyway.
I really am unsure about Perry vs Pauley. Pauley can get some ground balls and has better control, but he can get hit too. Perry can get dominating to a degree but can just as easily lose all confidence and end up being unable to get guys out at all.
I have a feeling JL wil go with Perry. The devil he knows I guess.
that's a nice assessment, Dan, and one i agree with.
"He's fine to catch. He could catch tonight if I wanted him to," – guess that sink's santos hopes?
(JL talking about VMart) ^^
Whelp fellas – here's the lineup today:
Jackson CF, Kelly 3B, Young LF, Cabrera 1B, Martinez DH, Avila C, Peralta SS, Dirks RF, Santiago 2B, (Porcello P)
Looks pretty solid there ~ especially against the righty. Apparently Wilson is not ready to go yet – but hey maybe he'll make a pinch hit appearance tonight.
Dan, I am the manager and I put on the sign to bunt. Other than Magglio or Miguel. Why force Jhonny to hot hit into the DP as was his nickname in Cleveland. WE need 4 of the next six so let's play to win and stay hot going into the playoffs! Go Tigers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, but add anyone on the third spot. Bunting will mean take out the bat from Cabrera
Well, we can't use Carlos as a DH cause that's Victor's role and Carlos would probably be a good DH. I agree with you, Dan, about Worth. That probably means SOC will go with Rhymes. I still have faith in Mr. Reliable. His bat will get hot again. The franchise lost millions in '09 because we lost and thousands of little people (waitresses, car attendants, restaurants, and vendors suffered terrible losses because the Tigers crashed and burned. Let's win Tigers and take home field advantage. It would make a lot of people happy and put money in their pockets.
denny mclain got arrested again. ugh what a bum (with a great arm)
"There's never been any………like Denny………McLain" (Ernie Harwell, from the song)
A comment here about VMart:
The guy has been amazing for us. To me the most amazing thing is his unselfishness.
Here's a guy coming in who could have demanded to be the #1 catcher.
He didn't.
Here's a guy who embraced the DH role instead of succumbing to its pressure.
This guy has a lot of heart and it must not be easy to watch his mates out on the field while waiting for his next turn at the bat.
I fully expect him to top MCab in the RBI department this regular season.
He's hit a tonne and he's done it with a sore knee and the maybe the least amount of speed in the American League.
One can only imagine how important he has been socio-emotiaonally for this team.
He may actually be the MVP of this team.
especially compared to Adam Dunn……a similar off season offensive acquisition in the Al Central.

Professor of Anthropology
Marida Hollos joined Brown University in 1974 and the PSTC in 1985. Her research has examined issues of fertility, sexual behavior, childhood, adolescence, and gender in Nigeria, Tanzania, and Hungary.
Hollos's recent research has addressed questions of fertility decline and infertility. She completed a project on fertility decline among the Pare of northern Tanzania and then turned her focus to the problem of infertility among the Pare and among the Ijo of southern Nigeria. She investigated how local meanings of infertility are shaped by the prevalence, social, and cultural contexts of infertility and how they influence community responses, life experiences, and infertility seeking behaviors. This research was conducted in collaboration with Oka Obono, a Mellon post-doctoral fellow at Brown and lecturer at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, as well as with Ulla Larsen of Harvard University and Bruce Whitehouse, a Brown post-doctoral fellow, currently associate professor at Lehigh University.
In Hungary, Hollos investigated factors associated with low fertility and the meaning of children. She collaborated with Laura Bernardi of the University of Lausanne, Switzerland. Hollos' research was supported by the National Science Foundation and by the National Institutes of Health.

I like this article, but I have a couple of comments. This statement is wrong:
You cannot make it lawful to kill someone for instance.
Apparently you haven't been following a certain case down in Florida where a man killed another man, and may have had every right to do so under common law doctrines of self-defense (as codified in Florida statutes). What you may have meant to say is that you cannot make it legal to MURDER someone, and that would be true.

Hi there everyone!
First thread! hoorah! However its not exactly for the greatest reason. My problem is this:
I have two animations for the same model, Trigger-cock and reload. The reload animation is fairly complex, the cock animation isn't.
The issue is that some how the bone ID's are being switched around in each animation!
I have played with ActorX export settings incl. 'persistant settings' etc and I simply cant seem to fix the problem.
Every time I export the animations it seems the ID's switch around (only from Bone ID 2 Upward. What's going on!?

LOS ANGELES -- Kenn Viselman is a very positive guy and, really, why shouldn't he be? After all, he freely admits to generating "something like $20 billion in the world of kids and families," first as the marketing whiz behind TV's "Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends," then as producer of those wildly popular "Teletubbies" and a few more kiddie shows in between.
Now the friendly brain behind his Itsy Bitsy Entertainment Co. is the creator/producer of some colorful movie characters named Goobie, Zoozie and Toofie, soon likely to be better known as stars of "The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure."
Their interactive movie, which opens Wednesday, actually asks audience members, certainly the younger the better, to get up and sing and dance during a series of production numbers which are, uh, loosely tied to a string of missing birthday balloons.
Explains Viselman: "We looked to create the musical sounds and the little jokes that everyone would understand, from the youngest viewers to their caregivers who ordinarily might say, 'I'm going to hate taking my kid to the movie, but I'll do it anyway.' "
Still, even with statistics claiming that "92
percent of every child in
"I just don't think that studios like to take risks because they're more formulaic," he says. "No disrespect intended, but if Disney did 'Secretariat' on this same weekend a year ago, then this year they'll want a movie that fits the same demo. That's their plan and you can't fault them, and most studios follow it.
"So, when you go to a studio and tell them you have something really far off the grid, they'll say no. Also, I really believe strongly in G-rated entertainment, and the studios don't. They've found a new formula that says, 'Let's do a PG-rated movie that will allow the young kid to reach up, and maybe we'll have some violence, maybe we'll have sexual innuendo, but if it's all we make, and the caregiver wants to have a movie-going experience with their kids, they'll take them."
Of course, "Oogieloves" features nothing but happiness, joy and some recognizable celebrity faces helping the film's bright and cuddly stars along their merry way.
Christopher Lloyd, Carey Elwes, Jaime Pressley, Chazz Palminteri all appear in roles, Viselman claims, were created for them.
"We were really lucky to get a lot of the people who we originally thought of for their parts," he says. "That includes (a diva turn for) Grammy-winner Toni Braxton. There was no one else for me.
"I also went for character actors and people like Cloris Leachman, who I think is so ridiculously talented and someone I have been in awe of for years. So, when we wrote it, she became Dottie Rounder for us."
In a separate interview, the 86-year-old Leachman said she was pretty sure that kids would be very interested in Viselman's first big-screen project. "It's got some good stuff in it, and I'm dying to see what age responds to it.
"I know I'm not witty or funny. I'm just silly," Leachman concluded. "I'm serious. I'm seriously silly."
Naturally, the ever-confident Viselman is positive that his Oscar-winning star (who was Best Supporting Actress more than 40 years ago in "The Last Picture Show") really is.

It's hard to imagine that Katie Featherstone has been scaring us silly since 2007, but the actress has been the one mainstay in every single 'Paranormal Activity' film since the very beginning. In the latest film, 'Paranormal Activity 4' (on Blu-ray and DVD January 29), Featherstone's screen time is significantly smaller, but the importance and weight of her role is perhaps bigger than ever.
We recently sat down with the actress to discuss the 'Paranormal Activity' series, her dance moves, and how much she misses 'The River.'

For a kid, there were days that were far more important than others.
Christmas always was No. 1, followed by your birthday and the last day of school before summer vacation.
And if you grew up in Mechanicsburg, Jubilee Day.
OK, it might not have been as high on the list for some kids, but for those who loved the idea of walking through downtown streets filled with people, food and strange sights, there was nothing like it. It's hard to describe the allure of what is billed as the largest one-day street fair on the East Coast.
For some kids, it was an all-day affair, starting with a trip downtown not too long after sunup to watch the vendors erecting stands. And, of course, you had to be there to watch the tearing down process as well.
The aroma wafting from the array of foods from funnel cakes to hot sausage sandwiches to french fries to cotton candy to fresh-squeezed lemonade created sensory overload.
It was fun to watch and play the carnival-style games, hoping, for example, to throw a wooden ring around the neck of a Coke bottle and take home a stuffed animal.
Unfortunately, when you become an adult and no longer live in the borough, it loses some of that magic.
If you haven't experienced Jubilee Day, it's worth a look. This year it happens on June 16. The official hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. The event requires the closure of portions of Main and Market streets.
To minimize parking problems, there is free shuttle bus parking, and several churches and civic groups offer free or low-cost parking close to downtown. Free shuttle bus service is provided from Mechanicsburg Area Senior High School off Williams Grove Road and Immanuel Alliance Church at 800 S. Market St.
You'll also find wares from local artists and craftsmen and a children's area behind Citizens Bank, which includes free kids' games, activities and a petting zoo.
There also are amusement rides in the PNC Bank parking lot. This year, entertainment features two stages of live music, including the U.S. Navy band "Cruisers" and local groups Jazz Me, the Don Johnson Project and The Comedy Zone's "Don't Break the Streak" improv group.
Jubilee Day is sponsored by the Mechanicsburg Chamber of Commerce with financial assistance provided by local businesses.
The event supports commerce in Mechanicsburg and allows the chamber to put on other community events throughout the year, including the summer concert series Concerts on the Corner, Streets of Treats, the Mechanicsburg Halloween parade, the Christmas tree lighting on the borough square and the annual New Year's Eve Wrench Drop.
- WHAT: The 83rd annual Jubilee Day.
- WHEN: 10 a.m.-6 p.m. June 16.
- WHERE: Downtown Mechanicsburg.

This is part of a practice session from the summer of 2008. I was just getting loose and feeling the vibe. Hope you do to.Can We All Jus' Chill?!?!
December 28, 2010 07:48 AM PST
It was a cold winter. The horrific events of 9/11 happened a little more than a year ago and America was in a major transitional phase in terms of politics, identity and the future. I was personally having my own ups and downs having just been on an amazing trip to Paris just a couple months prior (actually flew out on Sept. 11, 2002) and then coming back to my reality in Philly of work & hardship barely making ends meet. The DJ & nightlife scene at the time was more open at the time though and I was fortunate to have a steady stream of gigs to have some creative release and to share good music with great people.
Anyway, at the time I only had a couple thousand records and had to be very, very meticulous with my selections. Keep in mind that this was long before I had the collection I have now and years before Final Scratch or Scratch Live. It took me about 3 weeks of periodically piecing together the songs and then playing around with order until finally I had all the strands to weave a lush fabric of sonic emotions that would fit well for a lot of people.
Most of the songs chosen were over 30 years old at that time to prove a point that history repeats itself and that some music transcends time and always stays relevant to the human condition. It was a time for reflection and celebration. The result is an orchestrated journey of melodies and lyrics that capture some of my feelings but also that of the mass consciousness in America. Where are we at? Where are we going? Why is this happening?
This mix is amongst my personal favorites and it's hard for me to believe it was 8 years ago!! Thanks for listening and I hope you like it as much as I do.

MOBILE, Ala. -- Former U.S. Rep. Sonny Callahan was honored Thursday night as the 2009 Mobilian of the Year by the Cottage Hill Civitan Club.
Speaking to about 250 guests at a banquet at the University of South Alabama Mitchell Center, Callahan spent most of his acceptance speech thanking people in attendance, including former political colleagues and past winners of the Civitan award that has been handed out annually since 1948.
But he saved for last thanks for his family, and asked the crowd "to give a standing ovation to the one person who has been at the center of my success, my wife, Karen." The crowd then stood to recognize her.
The 77-year-old Callahan enjoyed a long political career that began in 1970 with his election to the first of two terms in the Alabama House of Representatives, followed by a term in the state Senate.
He succeeded retiring U.S. Rep. Jack Edwards in 1985, and enjoyed a nine-term tenure in the U.S. House, where in 1994 he was named chairman of the house Appropriations Subcommittee on Foreign Operations.
As congressman, Callahan worked to gain funding for the USA Mitchell Cancer Institute, which opened in November 2008.
When he left Congress in 2003, U.S. Rep. Jo Bonner took his seat. Alabama's First House District has been in Republican hands consecutively since 1965.
The father of six and grandfather of nine, Callahan now operates the consulting firm Sonny Callahan & Associates.
Bonner gave a lengthy account of Callahan's lifetime achievements, frequently noting examples of what he called Callahan's "Reagan-like self-deprecating humor."
Noted Bonner, "Sonny isn't someone who just loves politics; Sonny is someone who likes people."
Mobile Mayor Sam Jones, winner of the 2008 award, presented Callahan with a proclamation on behalf of the City Council.
Wallace T. Davis, president and chief executive officer of Volunteers of America Southeast, addressed the banquet on the value of service. "Because we have been blessed, we must be a blessing to other people," Davis said. "The takers have more stuff, but the givers sleep better at night."
Besides Jones and Edwards, past Mobilians of the Year include former Mobile Mayor Mike Dow, former USA President Frederick P. Whiddon, current USA President Gordon Moulton, former Catholic Archbishops Thomas J. Toolen and Oscar Lipscomb, and former U.S. Sen. Jeremiah Denton.

Restore of backup to Tomtom 910
|Posted: 20:58 20 Feb 07
Help.... I have today upgraded my Tomtom 910 to the latest version. After doing this the unit kept restarting by itself every 30 seconds. I read on another thread that someone had a similar problem and he formatted the disk and did a restore.After which his Tomtom started to work.. Well, Ihave reformatted the disk on my 910 and have started a restore using the home software. However the system does not seem to be doing anything and it has been close to three hours. It says restoring and the sand timer is running but nothing has happened. Is this normal for a 8GB restore. Any help would be appreciated as I am at my wits end and am leaving for the States on Saturday. I live in Switzerland...
|Posted: 06:59 21 Feb 07
This has been now resolved as per a suggestion from a member of the UK forum. I dragged and dropped the files from my backup to the TomTom. It works just fine now.

Many of the characters on Sesame Street are monsters and as a parent I appreciate that. There's no better way to calm a terrified child down about the the creatures they believe to be lurking under their bed than to remind them that Elmo and Cookie Monster from Sesame Street are, well, monsters. It's logic with which they cannot argue. Monsters are not all bad.
You know, until they are. Artist Isaac Bidwell has re-imagined some of your favorite, formerly lovable, characters into cold-blooded killers in a series he calls the "Puppet Massacre." From an Elmo turned Freddy Krueger to Bert as Michael Myers, these drawings are fodder for your next nightmare.
Check out the whole series after the jump.
Nightmare on Sesame Street 1 of 9Elmo's World just got a whole lot scarier.
First name Bert, last name Myers 2 of 9I always knew Bert was a psychopath.
Step aside, Jason Voorhees 3 of 9This might be the most horrifying visual I've ever encountered.
Telly Monster 4 of 9What are you going to do with that letter B, Telly?
Pinbird 5 of 9Hellraiser. Now with feathers.
Prairie Dawn of the dead 6 of 9The zombie apocalypse spares no one, not even muppets.
Sesame Street chainsaw massacre 7 of 9Whoever stole the cookie from the cookie jar is in a world of trouble right about now.
Child's play 8 of 9Rubber duckie, you are no longer the one.
Animal gone insect 9 of 9Who knew arachnids could be even more terrifying?

Used Omni V, Omni VI, and Omni VI+ are great choices in your budget range. The Elecraft K3 is also a great radio for what you want to do, and would fit your budget if you didn't load it up with too many options. Other great choices are the TS850 and FT1000MP, and FT1000MkV. All are within your budget. In all cases, you'll need to add some optional filters to be happy. The introduction of the K3 has caused a lot of these radios, which are quite popular with serious DXers and contesters, to come on the used market. I have an 850, 746, Omni V, K2/100, and FT1000MP up for sale myself! No, I'm not recommending them because I want to sell them, but because I've owned them and like them. :) The 746 is a nice radio, but not nearly in the class of those listed above. It's robust, works 6M and 2M, but the RX is a very weak point compared to the others listed. I own all of these radios except the Omni VI and VI+, and have used them a lot. The K2/100 is a nice radio for CW, but not great for SSB. I haven't used it for digital modes, but it should be pretty good. Don't even think of new radios within your budget -- the vintage radios I've listed cost a lot more when new, and are far superior to the medium-priced models you could get for under $2K. 73, Jim K9YC _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list firstname.lastname@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec

Let me show you something really amazing. Yes it`s about sculptures, but not any sculptures... these are sculptures made in paper. There are a lot of sculptors in the world and I`m just thinking: How many of them use paper??? Now that`s a big think and if you just look at them you can see how sophisticate are and detailed. I`m sure there`s a very hard work and big talent. Congratulations for the sculptors! You can see here just 3 of them... for the others just follow the source link!

Trazon Jimerson, 4, of Cannon Air Force Base climbs through a blow-up tunnel Saturday afternoon at Kid Fest at Clovis High School. (Staff photo: John Eisel)
By Marlena Hartz: CNJ staff writer
She's a seasoned performer — but Amy Carter is only 8 years old. In a red polka dotted shirt, her hair in curls, she belted out an old gospel favorite, "Let's All Go Down to the River." Her audience, assembled for the Kid Fest 2005 Talent Show, a main event Saturday at a festival tailored for Clovis youth, listened attentively.
"It's a song I sang when I played with a band at the Floyd Jamboree," said Amy, on her mother's lap, her grown-up singing voice and her grown-up diction analogous.
"She's been singing since she was 4. Living in this community, country music and Christian music just make you feel good," said mother Christie Carter of her daughter's vocal performance.
The show's judges, three community members who were given the task of ranking the competitors, said making distinctions among the performances, mostly vocal with a few dance routines and one gymnastics showcase, was not an easy job. But for judge Nick Mondragon of the Clovis-Curry County Chamber of Commerce, one performance stood out — that of Young Drew, the stage name of 11-year-old Andrew Dixon, a rapper who pens his own socially conscious lyrics.
"He did it to honor a grandparent," Mondragon said of Young Drew's rap, a homage to his deceased grandfather. "That was touching."
Another hit at Kid Fest 2005 — cotton candy. Scores of children circled booths, each sponsored by a different company or entity, at the Clovis High School practice field with fists clenched around sticks of the blue and pink candy.
"I just might go back for more," said Nathan Jolly, accompanied by his grandmother.
Also at Saturday's event were pony rides by Wendy Toombs, owner of Abrazos Adventure, courtesy of three ponies, Midnight, Pepper and Star, and one miniature horse, Red.
"One little girl was terrified," said Toombs, who is used to similar reactions among novice pony riders. "But we got her to stay on for the first round," around the macadam parking lot, "and when she got off, she was actually smiling."
A talking, stuffed dog named Patches, seated in a red fire engine and animated by Clovis Fire Department member Bill Baca, also entertained Saturday's bevy of youngsters, along with an improvised aim game created by Play Inc. employee Sheila Holley in which lines of children practiced throwing a football into the ring of an inflatable tube, as Holley playfully goaded on the pint-sized athletes.
Talent show winners:
• Ages 3-5: Sebastian Nunez and Chloe Everett (tied)
• Ages 6-8: Amy Carter
• Ages 9-12: Young Drew (Dixon) and Cynthia Espinoza (tied)

Well,someone had to ask!
Actually, there is a whole page of "someones" if you would care to search the archived forums for "favorite chess piece". Not saying it's not an interesting topic worthy of discussion, just saying it's been asked and answered.
The best piece on the board in the given situation! For example, in the Classical King's Indian, Black's Light Squared Bishop, just waiting for that moment to sacrifice itself. In the Modern Defense, often Black's Dark-Squared Bishop.
In other words, those that favor a certain piece, most common being Knights over Bishops or Bishops over Knights, regardless of the situation, are imbeciles! Anybody that trades a Bishop for a Knight because they don't like Bishops doesn't deserve to ever be higher than 1400.
The King. You cannot win without him.
Thats true
Pawns are the soul of chess. Long term strategy revolves around pawns.
It would be the bishop.
It's one of my main attacking pieces in chess.
The knigt,often forks over one of the enemys...
Mine are queen and knight. Queen because of its strenght, and knight because of his moving, forking abilities, and smothered checkmate.
The piece which delivers checkmate.
The piece that delivers mate.
My second favorite piece is the one that I sacrifice to deliver mate!
Regarding preferring Knights over Bishops, take a look at the games of the old masters. Quite often, they would trade off their opponent's Knight for their Bishop as soon as possible. Today, we may view that as a backwards strategy, but these players were +2300 strength by today's standards.
I second king, but only in pawn and king endgames. It's just fun to see the weakest, most vulnerable piece turn into an absoulute monster.
Well, this one time at chess camp . . .
I like the bishop because two bishops together has a pleasing visual aesthetic. There is also a tactile roundness to a bishop.
Well, this one time at chess camp . . .
At least it's smaller than a flute.
Reuben Fine wrote perhaps the worst book on chess in history, The Psychology of Chess. As a world class player (perhaps America's best player before Fischer) and psychoanalyst, he offered a unique perspective on the game.
He argued for a Freudian explanation of chess and the fondness for the B, and King and pawns especially were phallic homo-erotic preferences. He saw the entire game as an exercise in Oedipal desires to kill the father and marry the mother.
My favo(u)rite chess piece is the FRATZ..... NO ONE ELSE HAS ONE !
Ah, good ol' Freudian psychology, making innuendo out of literally everything. And if that was so why is the King checkmated and not the Queen?
I forget who said it, but someone observed that when Fine gave up chess to concentrate on psychoanalysis that it was "a great loss for chess, at best a draw for psychoanalysis".

The object of purchase may not include potentially shown accessory parts.
The premium suspension for the BMW motorcycle range. They are extremely durable and perfectly matched to the models.The large adjustment range allows the suspension to be dialled in perfectly for any road condition.
The facts:
- Floating piston damper in the "De Carbon" construction method.
- No warm-up time required.
- Absolutely stable damper characteristics.
- Very low sticktion, sensitive response.
- 25 damping adjustment "clicks".
- Continuous or hydraulic pre-load adjustment.
- Hardened spring.
- Teflon bushing on damper rods.
- Wear-free joint bearing.
- Perfect finish. Yellow springs.
- Always reparable.
- ABE approved.
All ÖHLINS shocks are based on the "de Carbon" principle. That means oil is put under pressure by gas , whereby the gas is separated from the oil by means of a floating piston. This principle has many advantages. The problem of cavitation is effectively prevented. In addition, it ensures improved cooling and thus constant damping, irrespective of the working temperature of the damper.

C.M. Hamilton (Wesleyan U./Connecticut College), W. Herbst (Wesleyan University), C.A.L. Bailer-Jones (MPIA - Heidelberg), R. Mundt (MPIA- Heidelberg)
We present high resolution spectra (R ~ 40,000) of the unique pre-main sequence eclipsing object KH 15D. These spectra cover the wavelength range from 4780 to 6810 Å and were obtained with the Very Large Telescope (VLT) of the European Southern Observatory as a part of the international campaign to monitor KH 15D during its December 2001 eclipse. In particular, spectra were taken just prior to eclipse, just after mid-eclipse, and during egress. These show that while the star is eclipsed, the spectrum is an attenuated version of the bright state. However, during eclipse and egress, the spectrum makes a transition from that of a "weak-lined" T Tauri star (WTTS) with an H\alpha equivalent width of ~ 2 Å, to one that is more characteristic of a "classical" T Tauri star (CTTS) with H\alpha equivalent widths ranging from ~ 30 Å to ~ 50 Å respectively. There is preliminary evidence for outflow activity in the [OI] \lambda\lambda 6300, 6363 and the [SII] \lambda\lambda 6716, 6731 lines. These profiles, in addition to the H\alpha (and H\beta) profiles, seem to indicate that KH 15D is still undergoing accretion from a circumstellar disk. It has been generally assumed that WTTSs are no longer accreting and that their H-alpha emission can be attributed to the magnetic activity of the underlying star. It would appear that the fortuitous geometry of this eclipsing system is showing us that at least one WTTS is in fact, still undergoing accretion.

President Obama earlier this afternoon:
Indian Country has some of the highest rates of domestic abuse in America. And one of the reasons is that when Native American women are abused on tribal lands by an attacker who is not Native American, the attacker is immune from prosecution by tribal courts. Well, as soon as I sign this bill that ends.
If you haven't realized the urgent need for an expanded Violence Against Women Act, read today's New York Times, where novelist Louise Erdrich restates the theme that runs through her powerful novel The Round House (reviewed in a previous post): Native American women are being battered and raped by non-native men, and they have no legal support for pursuing justice—because non-natives are immune from prosecution by tribal courts.
The question isn't whether the new provisions in the Senate VAWA bill are politically motivated. It's whether the provisions are good ones.
So, who's playing politics with reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act? Sen. Schumer and the Democrats, or Sen. Grassley and the Republicans?
probably both. Yes, Democracts would love to bolster the narrative that
Republicans don't care about women, even though Grassley et al. object
to new provisions added to the VAWA, not the existing law. And yes, by
threatening the whole bill based on objections to small parts of it,
some Senate Republicans (not all of them) reveal that while they may in
general favor services for domestic violence victims, it's not exactly a
top priority to them.
Of course both Senators Chuck are playing politics. That's their game, especially in leap years.

Myles Turner, rated as the No. 2 college basketball recruit in the nation by ESPN and Scout.com, is expected to announce his decision from among eight prospective colleges next week. Hi personal elite eight is an impressive collection, but the disparate programs can't all offer him the same advantages.
Arizona, for example, boasts an experienced roster that's already a Final Four favorite even without the 7-foot youngster. However, Wildcats coach Sean Miller is far from proven when it comes to developing future NBA centers.
Here is a look at all eight schools on Turner's list, focusing on how appealing they're likely to be to the presumptive one-and-done big man. These rankings reflect a combination of how much competition he'll face for playing time, how good the team's chances of 2014-15 success look at this stage and how well he can expect to be groomed for the NBA.

The original 21-game kit teaches symbolic logic, the rules of inference, logical proof and formal systems. Beginning games can be mastered by young children. Advanced versions will challenge intelligent adults. Studies show that three weeks of intensive WFF 'N PROOF play have been accompanied by average increases in nonverbal I.Q. scores of more than 20 points. These are excellent games for anyone who wishes to increase ability in abstract reasoning and precise thinking. The games are for 2 or more players ages 6 to adult.
This page includes rules that define Basic WFF 'N PROOF, the 18 basic derived rules and their proofs, strategies for playing Adventurous WFF 'N PROOF, the Tarski Short Cut, Network WFF 'N PROOF, and Network EQUATIONS.
With deeply felt appreciation to my brother, Bob Allen, whose keen sense of the subtleties of the strategies of play has significantly informed this version of Adventurous WFF 'N PROOF.
The following five rules which were added to Basic WFF 'N PROOF, define Adventurous WFF 'NPROOF.
A1 Derived Rule
Any player who has the burden of proof (hereafter, a BoP player) can use in sustaining that burden, any new derived rule that the BoP player can prove when called upon to do so.
A2 Proof Bet Rule.
Any player who does not have the burden of proof can make a 4-point bet with any BoP player that the BoP player cannot prove the new derived rule that the BoP player has used in the BoP player's solution.
(a) In a 3-player match there are the following five different betting situations.
|Number of Solutions
(b) If there is no bet by a non-BoP player (Situations 2 and 5), then the BoP player does not have to prove the new derived rule used in the BoP player's solution. Thus, in Adventurous WFF 'N PROOF the door is opened to some imaginative bluffing. However, deeper knowledge of logic of WFF 'N PROOF can curb the effectiveness of such strategies.
(c) Notice that in Situation 1 by Rule A4 it is possible for a bettor to get a bet score of 8 where that bettor bets both BoP players and neither proves the new derived rule used in her solution (and also possible to get a -8 bet score where both proves her new derived rule). Similarly, it is possible in Situation 3 for a BoP player to get 8 or ̄8 bet scores against two bettors by succeeding or failing to prove the new derived rule used.
A3 Solution and Proving Rule
The Detroit graduating seniors participating in the 2001 National Academic Games Tournament made significant contributions to the refinement and improvement of this rule. In constructing a Solution or in proving new derived rule, a BoP player can use any of the 11 assumed rules of inference of WFF 'N PROOF (Ki, Ko, Ci, Co, R, Ai, Ao, Ni, No, Ei, and Eo) and also any of the 18 basic derived rules of WFF 'N PROOF (AoAi, AoCi, AoNKi, AoNo, CoAi, CoCi, CoNKi, CoNo, KoKi, KoNAi, KoNCi, NAoKi, NCoKi, NKoAi, NKoCi, NNi, NNo, and Rp), but no other rules.
In regular Adventurous WFF 'N PROOF the Tarski Short Cut is not an acceptable proof; however, other Adventurous variations could either (a) accept it as a proof of a new derived rule or (b) make it the only acceptable proof of such.
A4 Proof Bet Scoring Rule
If the BoP player proves the new derive rule used in his solution, he gets a bet score of 4 and the bettor gets a bet score of ̄ 4, but if the BoP player does not prove the new derived rule used, the BoP player gets a bet score of ̄ 4 and the bettor gets a bet score of 4.
In Adventurous WFF 'N PROOF a player's total score is her regular score (0, 6, 8, 10, or 16) plus her bet score
( ̄ 8, ̄ 4, 0, 4, or 8).
A5 Multiple R Rule (A5 is a superfluous rule. As of January 1, 2002, it is no longer in effect and cannot be used.)
If there is an R cube available as an Essential resource when players have the burden of proof, then for every R that is available for use to sustain that burden those players may (but need not) use another extra R in sustaining their burden of proof.
Thus, on an A-flub challenge if there is already an R cube in the Rules section of the Permitted Playing Mat, then players who have the burden of proof and choose to use a remaining R as an Essential R will have available in sustaining their burden of proof, 1,2,3, or 4 Rs - whichever they choose.
Criteria for Resolving Ambiguities, Vagueness, and Gaps in Game Rules
For purposes of resolving a dispute that arises in the play of WFF 'N PROOF where the game rules are imprecise or incomplete and judges are called in to decide, the dominant consideration for such decisions should be the effect upon all players' learning; judges should pick the alternative that contributes most to such learning. (And if you wish to be especially helpful and contribute to possible refinement of the rules that define WFF 'N PROOF, send the author an email message about the situation at this address: firstname.lastname@example.com

4/14 Lilly goes four innings for Iowa
Ted Lilly gave up one hit over four innings in a start Wednesday for Triple-A Iowa. The only hit was a solo homer by Tyler Greene in the first. In his outing, Lilly also walked one and struck out four.
He was on a strict pitch count, and pulled after throwing 51 pitches, 31 for strikes. The lefty is coming back from arthroscopic surgery on his shoulder and was to have started last Friday but that was pushed back because of back problems.
"It was fun just being back on the mound," Lilly told reporters in Des Moines. "Everything went well. I'm pretty sure I'll feel good when I wake up."
The Iowa Cubs won, 5-2. Lilly gave way to Jay Jackson, who was the initial scheduled starter, and Jackson gave up two hits over five innings.
On Thursday, the Iowa team faces ex-Cubs pitcher Rich Hill, now with Memphis. Thomas Diamond is slated to pitch for Iowa.

Samsung Galaxy S3
Safely Root Your Samsung Galaxy S3
Ready to root your Samsung Galaxy S3 ? Thanks to One Click Root, rooting has never been safer, easier, or faster. When we called our software "One Click" Root, we really meant it!.
Download and install One Click Root
onto your PC or Mac
Connect your Android to your computer
using a standard USB cable
Open 'Developer Options'
and enable USB debugging
Run One Click Root and let the software
complete all remaining steps
The Samsung Galaxy S3 is arguably the most popular Android device ever made. After being released in 2012, it went on to win many "phone of the year" awards and was reviewed favorably by everyone except Apple fanboys.
The Galaxy S3 also played a critical role in the lawsuit between Samsung and Apple in November 2012. Many credit the Galaxy S3 with making Android more mainstream and singlehandedly reducing the iPhone's market share.
But the Galaxy S3's glory days are in the past. Today, the Galaxy S3 remains a formidable smartphone, although it's hampered by old age. The 1GB of RAM and Snapdragon S4 are no longer dominating performance benchmark rankings like they did in the old days. The 4.8-inch 720×1280 display is starting to look a bit dated, and unless you're recently purchased a new battery, your battery life is probably declining.
But if you want to keep holding onto your Galaxy S3 despite all of those symptoms of aging, then I know the feeling: sometimes, it's hard to let go.
If you want to inject new life into your old friend, then you might only be a few clicks away. One Click Root is specially designed to root multiple makes and models of the Galaxy S3. Whether you own an AT&T version or an international version, you should have no trouble using One Click Root to instantly root your device.
One Click Root has been specially designed to root multiple makes and varieties of the Samsung Galaxy S3. Currently, the software supports all major versions of the smartphone, including all of the following: GT-I9300 (International), GT-I9305 (International), SGH-I747 (AT&T), SHV-E210K/K/S (Korea), SGH-T999 (T-Mobile), SGH-I747M (Canada), SGH-T999L/V (Canada), SCH,I535 (Verizon), SCH-S960L (Straight Talk), SCH-R530U (US Cellular), SCH-R530C (Cricket).
If you own any of the following makes and models of the Galaxy S3, then you're in luck! You can use our simple four step process to instantly root your device with One Click Root:
Step 1) Download and install One Click Root
Step 2) Connect your Galaxy S3 to your PC using your standard USB cable
Step 3) Enable USB debugging on your S3
Step 4) Run the software by pressing "Root"
That's it! After clicking root, the program will automatically walk through all of the rooting processes on its own. We take all of the work out of your hands.
Better yet, we guarantee success! If you cannot root your device using One Click Root, we'll provide a 100% money back guarantee. Our software is also specifically designed not to run if it detects an unsupported device – so you won't be left with a broken, half-rooted S3.
Usually, rooting a Galaxy S3 requires reading through poorly-written tutorials on the internet and downloading suspicious files from dangerous websites. With One Click Root, you don't have to do any of that.
Once you've rooted your Galaxy S3, you're walking into a whole new world of opportunity. It's amazing – seriously! You can install apps like ClockworkMod Recovery which makes installing custom ROMs ridiculously easy.
You can also install powerful battery saving apps like Greenify and Juice Defender – something you might need after your S3's battery declines after 2+ years of ownership.
Or maybe you want to get rid of TouchWiz and install a custom ROM? CyanogenMod is a great option, but there are hundreds of great custom ROMs specifically built for Galaxy S3s.
I know you want to uninstall some of that nasty Samsung bloatware. That bloatware takes up hundreds of megabytes of space on your S3, and you can't uninstall it without rooting your device. ChatON? Game Hub? S Voice? Video Hub? You can safely delete all of these apps after rooting your Samsung Galaxy S3.
Custom ROMs completely change your Android skin. You can even install the latest version of Android before everyone else.
Enjoy new Android features like PhotoSphere, slow motion video, and NFC mobile payments before they're released.

I called on One Click Root after my own initial attempt for root bricked my LG G4 (H81010o). If you have a new phone running the latest and more challenging software, then I recommend this service. Its well worth the money. Technician "JJ" helped me and was a smooth and very capable professional. Rarely do I pay for tech support or make endorsements so purchase with confidence, these folks are legit!

The simple part does not scare me, I can eyeball another prop pretty easily, I just want to have some fun trying to do some engineering on it

Impeller design is very complex and this is not the forum for a 4th year disertation on fluid dynamics. It is not simple, period. The Seawolf propulsor was designed using a mainframe computer and a $250,000 CFD software package. .01% accuracy, not even close. 25% maybe if you are lucky. The propeller flow dynamics go out the window and it becomes an extremely intricate flow reversal, control, and fluid impulse math problem.
Now, with that said, my suggestion is to scrap the technical approach at this point and go the the imperical methodology(trial and error). The biggest problem with very small propellers is the rules of similitude. Read up on that and it will clue you into 50% of the problem you are experiencing. You really need to profile the blades as Dave Merriman does. Get ahold of one of Dave's props and take a look at it. Cut one of the blades in half chordwise and you will see why Dave's props work so very well. Or, have Dave cast up a SSN21 impeller for you and send it to you. Scale it down, but thicken the blades up and reduce the pitch. Small props stall very easily, so you may want to reduce the # of blades as well to say 3 or 4.

after read info i am more desoriented that before read it, i am close to finish my first rc sub, and i dont know what propeller is best for my sub, the fat part (or the thickets diameter of the sub) is 30 cm, my power plant is 700watts at 12500 rpm, the total weight its about 10 kg, i already know how to build a propeller but i dont know whow many blades must had, the diameter and the pitch, and how the angle is measured from the hub, i dont wanna build a maximum perfomance propeller either, just the right propeller to move the sub and not overheat the motor
Whoa - a lot of approaches. Here's a simple, cheap one....
Qualifier: I have only one sub (about 30in/75cm long) and very little sub model experience.
On the Trumpeter 144 Seawolf conversion to RC, I used the fan blade assembly taken out of a computer fan. It's inside the Seawolf impeller shroud, so not even visible (who knows exactly what the real one looks like anyway). With a very small drive motor, it cranks the sub WAY more than scale speed.
