We rented this home for 20 years from 1981 to 2001. We loved it then but now with the addition and recent renovations this house is perfect. Came back with our grown children and our new family addition, 16 month old grandson. He loved Cape Cod because this home is the most family friendly space you could hope to find. Thank you, Chris, for having many baby accessories so we didn't have to drag all those items up. We had 7 awesome days of love, laughter, and new memories to add to the old.
Thank you. Joan. We too enjoy that the next generation is already looking forward to their next visit to our piece of paradise. My grandchildren love the low tide flats. Once back at the house, they rest on the screened porch and color or play games. Then they are off to the sandbox on the water side of the house. So good to hear from you after all these years and that you had a wonderful week.
We have stayed in many rental homes over the years on the bay side of the Outer Cape. This house truly has everything a family of 6 needs on a vacation. It has fantastic views of the bay and is an amazing spot to watch the sunset. It is set back from the beach on the dunes and is very private. The short beach path to the association stairs is right next to the house. We were there over the 4th of July which is a busy time, and the foot traffic there was not very noticeable. The new kitchen is great and is fully stocked with pots, pans, utensils, and two coffee makers. It made cooking there very easy. The layout of the house allows people to gather for meals or games, but also has spaces where one can easily escape to a quiet spot with a book. In addition there are many beach toys in the basement. The house was very clean upon arrival. Chris was great to work with. We hope to return next year. show more show less
Thanks Jennifer, your family left our home in great condition. We hope you'll be able to schedule another visit soon.
This was our first family vacation with our 6 month old baby, and the location could not have been better. The beach is just down the steps, easy to come and go. We loved walking through the tide pools at low tide and taking long walks down the beach at high tide. The baby even liked being in the ocean for a few minutes as the bay is a little warmer. The private beach was not crowded, and we were able to leave things while we went back to the house for naps. House is very comfortable and clean. Amazing sunsets from the porch every night. show more show less
Our son and his 5 year old twin boys joined us for a week at Chris's rental property ID 14859.The dirt road leading to the house is very narrow and rutted. The homeowner has provided good parking in front of the house.This is an upside down house with the 3 bedrooms (one en-suite), bathroom, small den and screened in porch located on the 1st level where you enter the house.Upstairs there is a comfortable living room, dining area, kitchen and the new bathroom. All clean and very nice. There are small trees planted between the deck and the beach and the house does sit back a fair distance from the water. The one disappointment we had was that we were not able to see the beach or call down to our loved ones.The house is located right next to the path and the 55 steps to the beach are a challenge for those of us getting a bit long in the tooth. The path and the steps are shared by other homes in the area. If you are a light sleeper with the windows open you can hear early dog walkers using the path to the beach. The owner of this home is delightful to work with and answered all questions immediately. We very much appreciated that we were able to get into the house at noon rather than 3:00 pm at the start of our stay. show more show less
We have just returned from a week at Chris's rental. It is a beautiful spacious home with a superb kitchen and ample living areas. It is located in a quiet and safe neighborhood. Chris was most accommodating for our special needs with 2 young children. The view from the deck is gorgeous. We also enjoyed some amazing stargazing on a crystal clear night. Having 3 bathrooms was perfect for our needs. Kitchen was well stocked and made cooking and eating at cottage a pleasurable group activity. The decor is tasteful and the focus on detail was great. The trek to the beach was arduous with the number of well built stairs to climb, but the beach was lovely and quiet. show more show less
Thank you Suzette.The beach stairway is typical of bayside beach access in our area. A photo of the stairway is provided to potential tenants upon request.
My parents rented this property for 3 weeks, and my husband and 2 small children and I were fortunate enough to be able to spend quite a bit of time with them on their vacation. This house is truly a slice of heaven! There is ample space for children and adults alike without ever feeling like you are on top of one another. The spaces are wonderfully appointed and the view from the living room/kitchen area is incredible. We watched many breathtaking sunsets from the deck. The beach is amazing and very convenient to access from the association path located next to the house. We loved everything about this home and we cannot wait for next year! Thank you! show more show less
My family and I had a great time at your Beach House. The place was very clean and was even better than the pictures showed. The beach was awesome and my 2 kids loved it. The place is very kid friendly as I have a 4 year old boy and a 2 year old girl. We could not have been happier with our stay. Thank you.
The accuracy of listing rating is due to the ongoing change of pictures posted this spring after the off season remodeling of this home. The pictures currently on the website were posted the day this tenant arrived and are current. Thank you, Larry, for your kind review!
As 20+ year visitors to the Cape, my family has rented a number of homes (primarily in the Eastham and Wellfleet areas). This bayside location is a gem! Some of the best features? You're just a short path and 55 steps down to your own private beach… a beach that stretches forever at low tide and still has room to lay out and build sandcastles at high tide. The interior is open, bright, and airy. Very tastefully done… very comfortable without being shabby, and very nice without being pretentious. The kitchen was well-equipped and with the open floorplan and great views, it's a pleasure to make dinner. The beds were comfortable, and the additional spaces offer options for everyone… the den with a TV and VCR/DVD so if just one or two people want to watch something, the sound doesn't need to interrupt everyone else's enjoyment of this wonderful location… and the game room for some good family fun!Recommendations for future renters? Load up on groceries at Stop & Shop in Orleans (just 10 minutes away) on your way in, because you seriously may never want to leave this wonderful home during your vacation! Get a tide chart and plan your days around it. On those glorious nights when low tide and sunset correspond, be sure to take a bottle of wine, two beach chairs, and your sweetie out onto one of the sand bars revealed at low tide… a breathtaking and incomparable experience! And if you do decide to venture out, within less than 5 minutes you'll find Arnold's to the South for dinner and mini-golf, and Ben & Jerry's to the North. show more show less

WASHINGTON President-elect Barack Obama promises a bold energy plan to develop green technology, slash oil imports from unfriendly nations and tax more of the profits of oil companies, but the cost of the Wall Street bailout and an expected U.S. recession may impede his efforts.
Obama said as much during the first presidential debate when he said he may have to scale back on his green plan.
"I'm not willing to give up the need to do it, but there may be individual components of it that we can't do," he said.
A key part of Obama's energy plan is a $150 billion fund that would invest in clean energy over the next 10 years and create 5 million jobs in the process.
Despite Obama's sweeping win on Wednesday, that might be a lofty goal given the $700 billion already committed to rescue Wall Street, the drop in tax revenue from a weak economy and the sharp decline in gasoline prices that puts energy issues on the back burner for some.
"The main threats to Obama's energy plan are declining energy prices and the financial meltdown," said Jerry Taylor, energy expert at the Cato Institute.
As a result, Taylor said he doubted Obama would make energy one of his top goals during his first two years in office.
However, millions of jobs that would come from Obama's energy plan are just what the United States would need, according to Daniel Weiss, energy expert at the Center for American Progress Action Fund.
"Economic research shows that a $100 billion investment in clean energy policies would create 2 million jobs," Weiss said. "Clean energy policies should be a central element in an economic stimulus and recovery package."
Taylor cautioned that the political intolerance among U.S. lawmakers for large budget deficits "may inhibit Congress" from spending billions on Obama's energy plan.
"But then again, when the economy is in recession, tolerance for deficit spending increases," Taylor said. "Given that those expenditures are a key part of Obama's plan to create 'green jobs,' he may well be able to salvage this aspect of his plan as a key part of his antirecession package."
"These are green collar jobs that help Main Street and will revitalize America's manufacturing and high-tech sectors," Thomas Leyden, managing director for SunPower Corp, told a congressional hearing last week.
Obama's plan would increase the cost of energy, according to the Institute for Energy Research. "Wind and solar power are more expensive to produce and utilities will simply pass those costs on to consumers in the form of higher utility bills," said group spokesman Brian Kennedy.
One part of Obama's energy plan that he may be able to jettison is his idea to release about 70 million barrels of crude oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in order to put more supplies in the market and lower gasoline prices.
With the national price for gasoline now at $2.40 a gallon and set to fall further, U.S. consumers are definitely better off than four months ago when motor fuel hit a record $4.11.
"There is no need to release oil from our government reserves right now, but the next president should do so if prices again exceed $100 a barrel," said Weiss.
Falling petroleum prices will also ease the pressure on Congress and Obama to expand offshore drilling, possibly allowing a reinstatement of a federal offshore drilling ban.
While Obama wants to require oil companies to drill on the existing 68 million acres of land they have leased from the government or lose them, the oil industry will continue to press for access to new offshore areas.
"I believe the most critical thing is to send some signal to indicate that the (offshore drilling) moratorium is not going to come back into effect through executive order or through congressional action," said Red Cavaney, who retired November 1 as president of the American Petroleum Institute.
The decline in fuel prices should not hurt Obama's plan for a windfall profits tax on oil companies' profits, so each family could be given $1,000 to help pay for energy costs.
"Increasing taxes on oil companies is always popular no matter where prices are. But again, windfall profit taxes are most popular during high price periods, so the political capital associated with imposing such a tax will decline with price," said Taylor.
Obama also wants to require that 10 percent of the electricity consumed in the U.S. market is generated from renewable energy sources by 2012. Many states are way ahead of Washington on the issue and already have stronger renewable electricity generation requirements.

In 1907, Andranik left Dashnaktustyun because he disapproved of its cooperation with the Young Turks, a party which years later perpetrated the Armenian Genocide.

I cannot say enough good about this firm! I dealt with the entire staff and all were very knowledgeable, helpful and compassionate to what I was going through. Ultimately, I have developed the strongest relationship with George throughout my case. He has made himself available to me at all hours answering questions and easing my anxiety. He is wonderful!!! I am now 5 months post discharge and am still very pleased with my decision to file bankruptcy and my choice of law firm.
Posted by anonymous
Tate and his team provided excellent guidance and their extensive knowledge and experience resulted in the best outcome for our case. I would definitely recommend this firm.
Posted by Edwin
Guided us through our bankruptcy without a problem. Step by step. Do as they recommend and there will be no problem. From Cami at the preliminary meeting till the final meeting with George. These are good people.
Posted by Dennis
When I needed help solving a problem, Tate gave me direct and solid advice. He provided legal counsel that worked with me to handle a routine problem with compassion and professionalism.
He was also affordable.
Posted by Rob
Russack Law has recently handled my bankruptcy case and I am glad I chose them. My questions and concerns have been answered in a prompt and efficient manner. The support staff is on top of my case and has prompted and guided me more than adequately.
Posted by Patrick
A great attorney from start to finish. Will always answer your calls and questions. Made a very difficult situation for me much easier. His price for his services are very competitive. His staff is very knowledgeable and friendly.
Posted by Zoe
Very happy the outcome of my case. Was nervous about my Bankruptcy at first but with the excellent staff I was quickly at ease. Love the dog on premises which made me more relaxed.
Posted by Gwendolyn
I was 7-months pregnant when I had to file bankruptcy. I prepaid for some extra services which I didn't end up needing. Most places would not issue a refund, but Tate did. I was beyond impressed. He even gave me a military discount on the fees for filing bankruptcy. There was email support even after the case was over and done with. I'll never forget my first meeting with Tate. I had to explain all the horrible details as to why I had to file bankruptcy and how upset I was, and I'll never forget his response. He told me he would handle the problems, and he told me to just focus on myself and the pregnancy/baby. He told me not to stress. He took the weight off my shoulders and took care of me and my family.
Posted by Heather
We worked with George Roles and he was wonderful. He took his time and explained things we didn't understand. Always very helpful with lots of patience during this stressful time.
Posted by anonymous
Tate was very professional, courteous, patient, and non-judgmental through out the entire process. Our case was very complicated and did take a long time, but he was great the entire step of the way. He took the time to explain things more than once, because it was so complex and so important to our family. And each time he was professional and compassionate. We could tell we were in good hands, and could completely trust him.

Once Upon a Watery Memory
Water has never been my best love. The sound of chopping waves has always enticed me to jump down to the tomb of death not to the solace of tranquility.
The darkness that encircles you whilst being caught in a drift of icy water is blinding. Your senses are on fire and your hearing is impeccable. You hear those around you as they struggle to save you, yet you hear the sighs as they are unable to reach you.
It had almost ended my life when I was younger and it had given me a dose of fear that one's existence could be easily carried away in a tide of death in the form of rapid life; water.
What other way is there to describe the emotions and thoughts that created themselves within me at this moment, the moment in which this stranger and I had fallen to the depths of an unforgiving body of water. My one and only saving grace is that I no longer need to breathe, and if only my brain would understand this then perhaps I would not be struggling as much as I currently am.
The darkness of the night is fascinating, almost eerie as I feel myself bobbing up and down in the cold, summer water. The stars wish to show, but the city pollution is too much. The hill that contains the road on which we were just on, nurtures a quiet crowd of watchers witnessing our demise.
The stranger appears beside me, well, beside my line of sight; how I desire to be able to touch the bottom.
"You need to calm down," he says simply, much like a ghost in the water. When I make no effort to restore my demeanor he latches onto my waist and I stop short. "Come."
When a beautiful man tells me to come I would usually follow, but this particular man simply pulls me through the water, and I am very happy to say, out of sight of our vampire reapers. Within minutes we are on one side of the lake, I guess vampires are fast swimmers.
"Not all of us are like that," he says as he pulls me out of the water and onto dry land—semi-dry if you count the hundreds of droplets that are falling from our drenched bodies. "We can't all swim."
I cock my head to the side to question him not feeling confident enough to talk.
"Every vampire is different; I am guessing that that cooped up lady told you about the diverse species of us out there."
I nod and control my facial muscles; if I was on the brink of another death, why was I so giddy?
"But you weren't though," he answers my silent question, "You are all ready dead, unable to die due to unnatural reasons anymore."
"I have to get used to that." I murmur, my voice hoarse.
He stares at me then, keeping me locked with his searching stare. He has three freckles on his left cheek and a scar running through his right eyebrow. His lips are a forever crimson red and his hair is immaculate; impossibly tamed and dry. He grabs one of my pale hands and kisses it gently, the touch of crimson bringing life to my pallor. "I'm pleased to meet you, though it is not our first time. You have always been a marvelously intriguing woman. I am Patrick."
I am left stock still as I take in every inch of his face, his hands, his voice; his name. "I am Carol Ann." I explain, though I am sure it is unnecessary.
"I know." He answers to my introduction. "But right now Carol Ann, we must flee."
I am taken aback by his verbal usage of words and I hold his hand further. "Why do you talk in such a way? You were speaking differently before."
"You must understand, I am centuries old, I am still trying to function as a modern person, though I don't meet many people who walk out of my life alive."
I flinch and let go of his hand. "About what you were saying that not all vampires can swim, what makes you any different?"
The light of the moon appears stronger from where we are standing than before and I can see the physical change in Patrick's face as he glances over at me, a mixture of frustration, worry, and recognition. "I am a different species all together. Not all vampires can swim because they were not taught such a tedious task, but it was born naturally in me." A few moments of silence passes between us. "You really don't remember me?"
"Well, I was told that my mind has been erased in the past, so any possibility that someone that I meet that may know me all ready could have the distinct surprise of realizing that I don't remember them." I say in a rush and his face changes over to amusement.
"If you could remember me, you would remember everything."
His remark puzzles me and stare at him for an answer.
"We have known each other for years. In fact, something happened to you many years ago that you were hidden from."
"Are you saying my parents are fiction and they weren't murdered?"
"Oh, they were real and yes they were murdered, but not by whom you believe it to be. I think some facts may have gotten rattled in your mind from outside sources."
I slump onto a nearby rock as I feel the sense of longing for something out of my grasp.
Something just isn't right.
"I know," he answers my thoughts again, "And we are going to find out who exactly did this to you and why they erased every memory of me from your head."

text: LEUVEN, Belgium, October 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ThromboGenics NV (Euronext Brussels: THR) a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative ophthalmic medicines, announces today that JETREA ® (ocriplasmin) is nominated for the 2013 Prix Galien USA Award in the Best Biotechnology Product category. The Prix Galien USA, now in its seventh year, is an international award that recognizes outstanding achievements in improving human health through the development of innovative therapies. The winner is selected by a committee of nine experts in the biomedical industry and academia, including five Nobel Laureates. JETREA ® is the first and only pharmacological drug approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of symptomatic vitreomacular adhesion (VMA). ThromboGenics launched the drug in the US in mid-January 2013. The Company employs 100 people in the US, including 35 operating from its US office in Iselin, New Jersey. JETREA ® was approved in the European Union in March 2013. Partner Alcon, a division of Novartis, launched the drug in the UK, its first market in Europe, in April, and is rolling out the drug across Europe. Alcon acquired the rights to commercialize JETREA ® outside the United States in March 2012. Dr Patrik De Haes, CEO of ThromboGenics, said: "We are extremely proud that JETREA ® has been nominated for such a prestigious award. JETREA ® is the first pharmacological drug for the sight-threatening condition symptomatic VMA/VMT, and for the first time may allow treatment for earlier stage of the disease and prevent vision from deteriorating further. ThromboGenics is committed to working with the global retina community to ensure that as many patients as possible can benefit from this innovative drug." JETREA ® contains the active substance ocriplasmin. It is administered through a single intravitreal injection to treat adults with symptomatic VMA. Symptomatic VMA is a progressive, sight-threatening condition. It is caused by the vitreous humour having an abnormally strong attachment to the macula, the central part of the retina (the light sensitive membrane at the back of the eye). The macula provides central vision that is needed for everyday tasks such as driving, reading and recognizing faces.

By Mike GlenisterA missed penalty cost Wycombe dear as they fell to a 1-0 defeat at home to Bournemouth.
Grant Basey cleared off the line early on from Wes Fogden and it set the tone for the opening stages as Bournemouth created the best of the chances and eventually opened the scoring as Marc Pugh met a back post cross to fire home.
Joel Grant gave the Blues a life-line on 35 minutes as he tricked a path into the box before being hauled down. Stuart Beavon stepped up to take the spot kick but saw the ball fly despairingly over the bar as luck evaded the Blues yet again this season.
Following last week's disappointing defeat away to Fleetwood in the FA Cup, James Tunnicliffe stepped into the backline to replace the suspended Dave Winfield. Jordon Ibe returned to the starting eleven, although fellow youngster Kadeem Harris remained on the bench. Meanwhile, the returning Stuart Beavon partnered Jordon Ibe in attack and Matt Bloomfield returned to the midfield in place of Scott Donnelly as Gary Waddock shuffled the pack in search of a win.
Wanderers enjoyed a solid start and registered the first meaningful strike of the game on 5 minutes as Struart Beavon found space outside the box but saw his long range effort blocked. For a moment the ball seemed to spin into the path of strike partner Ben Strevens but he found himself offside.
Moments later the Blues found themselves on the back foot as a Bournemouth attack caused panic in the backline. After Nikki Bull was forced to shut down the onrushing Wes Thomas, Grant Basey was eventually called on to make a vital goal-line clearance as Fogden took aim at the top corner.
Danger loomed again on 15 minutes as Nikki Bull dived down sharply to his left to deny Marc Pugh who found himself in a one-on-one against James Tunnicliffe before looking to steer an effort into the bottom corner.
The chances continued to come for the Cherries as central defender Adam Barrett headed narrowly wide from a corner on the Bournemouth right.
As the Blues looked to press forward and assert themselves on the game, Bournemouth seized the opportunity to break with devastating effect. With the Wycombe midfield pushed high up the field, Bournemouth found space and spread the ball wide to Wes Fogden who provided an inch perfect ball to the back post for Marc Pugh. Despite the best efforts of Nikki Bull, the ball found the back of the net to put the Blues behind again at home after just 23 minutes.
Shortly afterward the home side were given their chance to turn the tide of the match. Joel Grant cut inside from the right and his slick footwork got the better of the Bournemouth full-back who subsequently brought the tricky winger down inside the area. Top-scorer Stuart Beavon stepped up to take the spot-kick in front of the travelling support and they gleefully welcomed the ball into the Dreams Stand as Beavon fired over the bar.
Not to be deterred, the Blues continued to press forward with the backing of a now vociferous home support. Despite their efforts, however, they struggled to test Darryl Flahavan in the Bournemouth goal.
Instead a long-range effort from Bournemouth's Harry Arter flew wide of the post on 41 minutes before the Blues rallied again going into half-time. Inside stoppage time Ben Strevens burst in behind the Bournemouth backline. Needing to cut inside, Strevens was thwarted by the backtracking Barrett who did well to force the ball behind.
The resulting corner saw Wycombe pack the area and deliver a ball right into the six yard box. Under intense pressure Flahavan was forced to use his hands for the first time to punch the ball away from right underneath the bar.
Just a minute into the second half he was tested again as Jordon Ibe looked to exploit a wet surface by firing in low from 25 yards. Flahavan held comfortably.
Wycombe weren't able to sustain the pressure though and a deft passing move saw Bournemouth break through the home defence on 50 minutes. Only a magnificent sliding tackle from Leon Johnson cleared the danger and prevented Wes Thomas from going one-on-one with Nikki Bull.
Thomas was again the dangerman for the visitors just minutes later. An excellent ball down the line evaded the lunging interception of James Tunnicliffe and only good pressure from Leon Johnson again denied the striker a clean effort on goal. Thomas squeezed an effort into the near post, which Bull parried behind.
Yet again Wes Thomas looked to break in behind the Wanderers backline just before the hour mark. Basey tackled back well to concede a corner despite calls for a penalty from the away fans behind the goal.
From the resulting corner Joel Grant used his pace well to win the ball punched out by Nikki Bull and raced in on goal before firing low into the hands of Flahavan.
A long ball forward saw Stuart Beavon challenge in the air and when the resulting clearance fell to Scott Donnelly 25 yards from goal, he struck with an ambitious volley which dipped wide of the right hand post.
Kadeem Harris utilized his speed advantage over left-back Warren Cummings to reach the byline and float a cross into the back post shortly after. On that occasion nobody was there to meet the cross but it pre-empted a flurry of crosses from the right side, which eventually saw a deep cross headed downward by Joel Grant before bouncing up and being tipped over by Flahavan.
From the resulting corner Wycombe were almost caught out on the break as Wes Thomas sprinted in on goal. Thankfully Nikki Bull was quick off his line to interrupt Thomas' progress and force the ball out for a goal-kick.
Bournemouth continued to stifle the Blues in the closing stages as the home side toiled hard without seriously troubling the Bournemouth defence. Indeed it was Thomas, who performed excellently all afternoon, that came closest to scoring again on 82 minutes as he got ahead of Johnson to head powerfully across the face of the goal. With Bull helpless the ball thumped the base of the post to anguished cries from the away end.
With the Blues searching desperately for a goal, manager Gary Waddock introduced Scott Rendell, who returned from a recent loan spell at Bristol Rovers and added some physicality to the front line.
Deep in added time Stuart Beavon received a throw in with his back to goal. In a tight corner Beavon found Scott Donnelly inside the area but his attempt was stifled by a firm challenge form a Bournemouth defence who remained solid until the very end and inflicted another painful defeat on the Wanderers.

I'm kind of wondering what DUCK's organization's goals are supposed to be. I mean, they sent Akira (and cute Tapioca <3) to investigate the aliens, but his bosses opt to not believe anything he says, as if they don't believe in their own agenda. This is just plain weird.
I really liked the scene between Natsuki and his dad. It parallels what's happening in Japan, where the youth is expected to pick up the slack of senior generations. But what the youth wants is to live their own future and not be tied down to the past, such as Natsuki leaving Enoshima. But even Natsuki has very complex feelings about it, because Enoshima is still his home.
Anyway, a similar underlying theme was running throughout Nakamura's C - The Money of Soul and Possibility (which is something you guys should definitely check out if you haven't already!). Well, maybe it's a coincidence, but I really liked that scene because of that correlation.

I felt really bad for Sakura. All she wanted was for her family to get along on her brother's birthday, and Natsuki couldn't even grant her that. I understand his position, but he really acted like a dick to her here. Hopefully, he'll get over his issues soon.

I loved the way Akira dressed up in a raincoat and had an umbrella at hand as insurance against Haru!
Natsuki...I don't blame him for being sour on the boat. It was his birthday, and he didn't get to decide for himself what he wanted to do. Other people went ahead with a plan he didn't want in the first place, and then they expected him to be happy about it. But slapping Sakura was terrible, and there's no way he should have been able to get away with it. Yuki's the only one who said anything about it to him. It should have been his dad.
I really liked Haru's character development in this ep. It was fun seeing something other than super-cheerfullness from him.

Wow, who would have expected Tsuritama to depict such raw emotions!

Spoiler for families:
So, is there a real Enoshima dance? If not, will it become the next otaku tourist trend? A combined fishing and dancing holiday with a side tour of the Samuel Cocking Garden where Keito works.

One thing I love about this series is how supportive the characters are of each other (especially Ayumi! This guy has to get best end with Misaki!)
They all know Natsuki and his father have a bad relationship but try to get them to spend time together -- which kind of works until the inevitable explosion of everything Natsuki has wanted to say to him
And here we see that dad has made it worse with how he's been handling some things
I see a lot of people upset about the slap but if you keep in mind that Natsuki himself just received a slap from the only family he (feels) he has and whom he has been caring for and taken a role in raising Sakura -- then it doesn't seem so extreme
Akira has to change at some point! Whether he stands aside on an order from DUCK and or actually lends them a hand I don't know but it will happen! And another unknown is Tapioca
What could or even will she do? I'm thinking we could see something as wild as a transformation into another form like Coco
I'm still picturing some huge scene with DUCK, triangles, mind controlled dancing fishermen, aliens, dragon, princess, shrine girls (i know you erika fans want it) and old man (how much does he know), and of course the fishing bros battling together (that includes Akira)
Kate having a relation to or at least knowledge of the princess would explain a lot (why they've moved - welcomed in Haru without a question - being watched by DUCK)
A little long wind there but I can't help but expect a great finish to this series
It quickly became a favorite for me
I came across a blog of some people going there and doing the dance at the shrine and the enoshima don move on the beach lol
Maybe it's gotten some people interested in fishing too
And back to fishing -- how about Natsuki showing off that nice side casting! Takes a lot of skill
Maybe in the end we will see him go on to become some sort of champion or at least fish more how he really wants

Yui getting some nice fishing gear.
It wasn't cheap either..
Even Yamada got into fishing.
Guess it's pretty contagious since everyone got hooked so easily.
Looks like Haru was feeling a bit guilty about what happened last time.
Group fishing trip was nice ^^

Natsuki isn't an adult male. He's a teenage boy who smacked his sister when she was mouthing off about things she didn't understand. Violence between siblings happens, and though its not something I would condone, its more acceptable than if he was unrelated to her.
Basically, he shouldn't have hit her, but I can totally understand why he did.
How many years apart are Natsuki and Sakura anyway? 4, 5?
Well, apart from hitting her, I'm firmly on Natsuki's side on this one. He's clearly been very upset for quite awhile; about his mothers death, his father dating a new woman, being torn up between his inheriting his family business and following his own dream. And now Sakura's laying the blame on him for her losing a wristband because his feelings finally burst out.
This was a long time coming. Its just unfortunate for Sakura that it had to happen then.

We saw Yuki develop positively but it is obvious Natsuki needs some development too. I am sure he will be sorry he hurt his sister (both emotionally & physically) he was just too angry & upset at the moment to realize he was wrong. Sometimes we need to cool our heads before things hit us.
You can already see that it took Natsuki a moment to process his sister was missing when his father said she was not with him. That is because Natsuki couldn't think of anything but his anger. However when it hit him he showed concern for his little sister (who he obviously loves very much)

I just got a different impression from that scene
I think it was the break in tension
Safely back on the boat Natsuki is relieved and everything would have been dropped except she yells at him for it
He clearly feels bad and tries to calm her down but she keeps going and hurts him
Yes it was related to their father but it came from his little sister the one person he never wants to be seen in a bad light by
I'm guess I'm trying to say that though yes it was wrong I understand why he did it
Does that make sense?
I'm going on too much here

Eh, while I understand why Natsuki was super pissed off, it was a really dick move to hit a little girl (especially his own sister). Of course little kids can be annoying and I see how Natsuki just snapped and happened to lash out at poor Sakura, but still, he's 17(? I think) and she's in elementary school. Bad Natsuki, bad.
But I also understand why nobody did anything about it... It wouldn't have done any good. Natsuki had already brushed off Yuki and stomped away, nothing that his father or anyone could've done would have had any effect on him, it would have just made everything even worse given the tensions running so high. (Maybe Ayumi could've tried talking to Natsuki, I think he'd listen to Ayumi more than to his father... but I guess Ayumi didn't want to meddle in what is ultimately another family's private business.) Given how much Natsuki loves Sakura, I think it's safe to assume that he hates himself for what he'd done, and blames himself for her disappearence. I suppose he and his dad are going to have a talk sooner or later, but now it wasn't the time or the place. Even Haru, KY that he is, understood that.

I think it could haunt him for quite some time, and I doubt that Sakura will ever forget this event. Even after she forgives him, the memory will still linger and color her feelings for her brother. In the early episodes she seemed the typical imouto who loved and admired Natsuki. I doubt she'll have the same unwavering devotion to him after the confrontation on the boat. I hope they don't take the easy way out here with a lot of mutual apologies, and everyone moves on unaffected. Given how unexpectedly powerfully this scene played out, I suspect it won't just be swept under the rug, but they do have only three (!) more episodes to go.
I wonder if the two of them ever spent any time together mourning their mother's loss?
Oh, and for a guy who wasn't going to teach Yuki anything, Natsuki sure taught him (and me) a lot about fishing strategy.
I went back to look at that article with all the Enoshima photos that wandering-dreamer posted and pushed it through Google translate. I was puzzled by all the references to "snow" in the photo captions when there clearly wasn't any snow in the pictures. It suddenly dawned on me that these were references to Yuki, and that the references to "spring" were about Haru! One image from the show depicts Yuki with a caption about "snow" on the train platform.

Anyway, I come from an era when boys were taught that hitting girls was simply wrong. I guess it's just different these days when people feel Natsuki angrily slapping Sakura is acceptable and justifiable behaviour.
Frankly, I doubt it's the first time he's slapped her like that. It looks more like it's his normal response when he doesn't like her attitude. Particularly since he's shown absolutely no remorse. Like Sakura said, Natsuki really is a jerk.
On a different note, I found it very amusing that Natsuki called his dad "cold" during their "discussion" when, in reality, during the whole of this anime up to this point, it has been Natsuki himself that has been giving his father the cold shoulder.

A while ago I listened to an interview with one of the producers, Minami Masae, and she mentioned that they'd been working on this project for... four years or so? (don't quite remember, but it was a long time) And it's over in only 10 weeks... uuu...
By the way, am I the only one who wondered what Akira was doing at Yuki's place when Misaki(?) called to ask Yuki about Sakura?

As always I adhere to the rule of not looking into a show's thread after an episode appears unless I've watched it already.
What you say about Sakura's age makes a lot of sense, too, kuromitsu. It would be easier for her to move on than Natsuki.

As for Coco, I believe she would be more distrustful than jealous. I still wonder why Haru was initially so scared of Akira. Did they have a previous run-in or could he simply sense his hostility towards him?

Is the Variety Club all about celebrities?
We are different from a lot of charities in that we are volunteer-led. Most of our frontline workers are volunteers. The celebrity bit isn't that they give us loads of money, but that when they turn up at events, that drives income from people who will pay to be there.
Why are we hearing about it now?
The Variety Club is celebrating its 60th birthday this year.
Wasn't there a bit of a knees-up?
The Duke of Edinburgh hosted a private dinner earlier this month at Buckingham Palace. It was a really nice event. I can't believe what a mischievous man he is. He heckled Gyles Brandreth.
Are things going well?
Our income is £10m a year at the moment, and an additional £12m over the next three years. But we have suffered as the economy has nose-dived. Corporate income through events has been hit. The charity has recognised the need to reposition itself and get in line with the rest of the third sector. Children in Need and Comic Relief are snapping up the celebrities. We really needed to do something.
What is your role in this repositioning?
I joined the Variety Club in 2008. I've worked in the third sector and in education, so I know how it works. We are now looking for different income streams and moving to a much more traditional charitable base, with a new, very successful fundraising team. The saleable quality of the Variety Club is the fact that we hit a huge cross-section of people.
So it's not just Sunshine Coaches?
We are so much more than Sunshine Coaches. We change people's lives. We run a children's hospital, and we help families and children on an individual basis.
What is the charity's biggest challenge?
Everyone over 40 knows Sunshine Coaches, but people under 40 don't. We are on a mission to position ourself as a really serious player in children's services.
Why did you want this job?
This is a huge and really, really exciting challenge. I have carte blanche to turn the charity round and start again. A lot of people in my position would really like to have this opportunity.
What is the club's relationship to the rest of the third sector?
They don't need to worry about us charging in from the rear. But we want to talk to relevant people about what they're doing and what we can contribute. It's about understanding where there's a need for us.

Disclaimer: Do not own Hetalia!
Note: This is my first ever chapter on fanfiction and in general, so it's not a fluid as I'd like but I hope to improve. The idea if Dark Hetalia interests me but I also love how the characters in Hetalia can embody so much friendship, so I've combined the two. Contains the Axis, Allies, Prussia, Spain, Romano, and an OC. Hope you like it, and please comment! :)
Before being trapped in this strange world, she had forgotten what genuine fear felt like, but very recently, she had gotten her fair share of near-heart-attacks. Now, her heart pounded against her rib cage once more, and she shut her eyes tight, praying that he would not find her. She pressed her back against the cold, crumbly, cement wall, and then took a deep breath to try to slow her heart rate. Suddenly she heard footsteps coming down the hall, getting closer, and her eyes widened as she clamped her own hands on her mouth to suppress a startled gasp.
If he found her, it was all over. Or maybe it wasn't. The others were still alive…she hoped, but could not be sure. The footsteps were drawing nearer at an increased pace, and so she rested her head on the wall as well. She was going to die, but now she found herself accepting the thought. Soon her pursuer would be close enough to smell the mixture of sweat and blood coming from the wound he inflicted upon her.
Glancing down at her long, wavy, deep brown hair that was tangled and matted, she remembered the last time she had spent so much time perfecting it. It saddened her, and she reflected upon the last few days. How did things end up like this? The situation had gotten so complicated, the circumstances so dire. Without meaning to do so, her mind wandered to when the terrible things first started…
It was the day of the International Science Competition, held at America's place, since he was the one who challenged all the other nations into the contest to prove that he was the greatest country on Earth. Some of the nations, affronted at his arrogance, accepted the challenge, while other just participated for the heck of it.
Russia was there, wanting to prove his scientific excellence with a new model of a space ship. The German brothers, Germany and Prussia, teamed up to synthesize a whole new element and add it to the periodic table, while the Italian brothers claimed their exhibit of a new kind of garlic spice was science-y with Spain hanging around for moral support. China, Canada, and Britain were also present with their innovations, while France showed up "just to take a look."
Even Japan attended the competition, and he was kind enough to allow the Philippines to tag along even though she had nothing to contribute with such short notice. Only lately had she been actually getting to know the other nations from the West, since she'd much rather just socialize with her Asian neighbors sharing the Pacific with her. However, Japan and China convinced her that it was best not to isolate herself and to forget old grudges, saying that even Korea was having some good times with them.
So there she was, staying close to Japan and his invention, checking her compact mirror every so often to make sure her hair was still flawless. The two made small talk with other nations until finally, America burst into the wide room with that ridiculous haughty expression of his and Tony towing a machine covered in cloth behind him.
"Dudes! Get ready to totally have your asses kicked!" America announced loudly as his alien friend pulled away the cloth on cue. A large, metallic archway was revealed with a control panel attached to the side, random buttons blinking and beeping.
"You wanker! You can't have Tony build your exhibit using alien technology! That's not fair!" exclaimed Britain furiously while China and Canada nodded in agreement.
"HA suck it dude! You're just jelly that your imaginary friends can't be as great as Tony!" America replied and Tony gave a thumbs up. Germany rolled his eyes and Japan shook his head disapprovingly.
"Jelly?" France asked, letting exasperated confusion slip into his voice.
"Short for jealous, dude, get with the times," America laughed.
"Well what does it even do?" The Philippines threw out the question; the Westerners tended to give her a headache sometimes and she didn't want their arguing to turn it into a migraine.
"Well…Tony said that if you walk through the portal once it's activated, it takes you to a parallel universe! Cool, right?" America explained excitedly, the grin on his face growing wider. He began jumping up and down; obviously he had a soda or two before arriving.
"Those don't exist, dummkopf ," Germany muttered, causing Prussia to laugh maniacally.
"They do to!" America insisted, "And I can prove it! Tony, do your thing!" Immediately the gray creature began pressing buttons on the keyboard, what seemed like at random, but nevertheless the machine sparked, then radiated a purplish-pinkish light that filled the archway.
"Now who's coming with me?" America looked expectantly at each nation with a half smile.
"I bet he's faking it, look at the bastard's face! It's just one of his fucking pranks," Romano said with a snide tone.
"Yeah he's trying to butcher my magic like he did with my language," Britain concurred stepping up to the archway to examine the glow. Italy also came to admire the luminescence of the portal.
"Ve~ it's so pretty though," he gushed, but Germany frowned.
"Don't get to close, Italy," he warned walking up behind him with Spain, Canada and China going to speculate.
"I want to get a closer look as well," the Philippines said to Japan, who gave a startled "Okay," as she grabbed his wrist and brought him with her. Then France and Romano followed as well, not wanting to be left out with Russia, but he too went up to the portal.
All the nations crammed together in front of the portal and began to lean on each other to get a closer look at the so-called transportation device. Russia, being at the back of the group put a little more weight on France ahead of him to see better, but France did not expect it. His knees buckled at the extra pressure, causing him to fall forward into everyone else. The nations closest to the portal, with nothing to fall forward into but the archway, were pushed directly into it, creating a chain reaction as the others tumbled in after them with great commotion.
The Philippines felt as if she had been sucked into a whirlpool that was tossing her around, forcing her to let go of Japan's wrist. She screamed with nothing else to grab onto, seeing nothing but bright light around her, but still heard the others' screams. And then all at once the noise stopped and after a brief moment, it seemed as if the portal spit her out and she hit the floor dizzily.
When she sat up, she looked around and noticed she was now in a bedroom that was poorly furnished with a simple bed and a table littered with maps and…a girl standing in the door way with her hand still on the knob like she was about to leave. The other girl had a stunned expression on her face, and the Philippines could see why. She looked exactly like the other girl. Same golden brown eyes, same tan skin, same body stature. Although, the other girl had her deep brown hair tied back into a tight ponytail and she was wearing an army uniform with a general's hat.
"What the hell?" her look-alike uttered out after recovering from her shock. The Philippines, however, was still speechless.
"How did you get in here? You-you look like me!" the other girl stammered. Then her eyes grew big from realization. "You're an imposter! A spy! Sent here by that magical motherfucker, yeah that's it! He used his magic to send you here and replace me so that you can cause my house turmoil!" With each word, the other girl's voice grew angrier and more hateful. The look in her eyes changed from confusion to deep loathing…and murderous.
The Philippines shook her head violently, putting her hands up to show that she meant no harm whatsoever. "No, I-I don't…I don't know how I got here! This…this is crazy…" She had no clue what she was doing, and she knew she wasn't supposed to be here. "America's machine…must've worked…" she said softly to herself.
"What was that?" the other girl demanded, stamping her foot. "And cut the crap! Or things will end badly for you." Her threat sounded frightfully real.
"I-I'm from another universe! Another dimension!" The words tumbled out her mouth without any thought. Great, now she'll think I'm a liar and crazy. The girl stared at her with a puzzled look, but then took this into consideration.
"Well…we do look exceedingly similar…identical actually…is it possible that you're the Philippines from another dimension?" As the girl thought out loud, the Philippines nodded.
"Yes! So you're the Philippines from this world? Wait, you believe me?"
The other girl looked at her skeptically, and then began to nod slowly. "Maybe. Japan once gave a presentation about parallel dimensions at a world conference, but was ridiculed for it…"
"He did? Did you believe him?" So this world also had a Japan, so it probably mirrored the countries from her Earth as well. This is so weird! Don't freak out! Just stay calm! That's what Japan would do, right?
"I considered it, I guess, but…" the other girl glanced at the Philippines thoughtfully. "He told us how to prove if someone was really from another dimension."
The Philippines looked up hopefully, knowing she would be proven right if the information was correct. But then her face swiftly changed to instant terror as the other girl—the other Philippines—trained a gun on her forehead. There was no hesitation or waver in her hand as she pulled the trigger.
Thanks for your time! Please comment, I could use the encouragement and tips. Constructive critism is appreciated! This chapter was short but my next ones will be longer (if people like them of course), so tell me what you think.

I'd want that for sure, Quartz. Talk about brutal. I think I'll just wait for Decal Girl to get wind of this, though, and start mass-producing these so I don't have to win any competitions. As for the plasma screen, I guess I'll just have to count my losses and decline the possibility of getting it.

A webbed toed student was shocked after googling herself to find pictures of her webbed feet on a fetish website.
Alice Cachia, 21, came across the images on website 'wikiFeet' while searching her own name online. The third-year English literature student was stunned when she clicked on the site only to discover that someone had uploaded pictures of her webbed toes.
The fetishists were actually pretty harsh rating her feet as 'okay' with just 2.5 stars out of five.
Speaking to student newspaper, The Tab, she said:
I was scrawling through Google and I saw my name under this wikiFeet website. It's an entry on Wikipedia dedicated to my feet and my toes and people had rated them. I was only given 2.5 stars, which I was not happy about.
Alice, who studies at the University of East Anglia, in Norwich, Norfolk found the pictures last week while searching for her name as she was applying for a job and looking for old articles she'd written.
One of her stories published in The Tab last year detailed her experiences of living with two webbed toes. It's believed one reader lifted those pics and posted them to the site.
Alice said:
I am feeling freaked out. I didn't know whether to be proud that my toes had their own web page, but actually it's just really weird.
Alice gained a great deal of attention after blogging about her distinctive feet, adding: "I feel like when I die, I'm going to be remembered for my webbed toes."

No, both systems have the same heat output and will use the same amount of power. This is because electric radiant floor heating systems use resistance heat, meaning that the resistance (Ohms) of the cables are adjusted so that no matter what the voltage is the Watts produced per a square foot are the same.
The only difference between the systems is in amount of amps they draw per a square foot: 120 volt systems draw 1 amp for every 10 square feet while 240 volt systems only draw 0.5 amps for every 10 square feet. This means that a single thermostat can be used to run up to 150 square feet of 120 volt products, but up to 300 square feet of 240 volt products. If the space being heated is 150 square feet or less, there is no advantage to installing a 240 volt system. In fact, using a 240 volt system in such a small room will just waste an extra space in the breaker panel that might be used for something else in the future.
