Sounds familiar? In the early Eighties, government and press alike hailed the revolutionary potential of cable to connect every household in the country to a cornucopia of channel choice by the end of the decade (that decade, not this one). In the late Eighties, front-page headlines (and not just in Rupert Murdoch's papers) trumpeted the start of another revolution as Sky launched its four-channel satellite service. And recently, the information superhighway has been heralded as a cure-all for everything from an ageing political system to long queues in supermarkets. And now ... digital television.
The media love revolutions because they are good stories, and governments love them because they can bask in the reflected glory of technological progress. It's nonsense, of course. There will be no revolution this time, either, for the same reason that there was neither a cable nor a satellite revolution: most of us don't want to pay for more television.
Let's take a cool, level-headed look at the facts.
1. There's limited demand for more TV. Independent Television Commission (ITC) surveys reveal that around two-thirds of the population agree that "the four main broadcast channels give me all the viewing choices I want". But, as politicians have learnt on taxes, what people say is not necessarily the same as what they do. So ...
2. Even where people are offered lots more channels, four out of five homes aren't interested. Cable has been going for more than 10 years now, but latest figures from the ITC show that, up to October last year, 21 per cent of those passed by cable had taken up the offer. Hardly a mad dash.
3. Perhaps cable hasn't marketed itself aggressively enough? The same can hardly be said of satellite, which has had continuous publicity in Murdoch's News International titles since its launch in 1989. After eight years of hype, fewer than 4 million homes have satellite dishes.
4. This time, we are told, it is different: no need for a satellite dish or cable connection. You just "plug in and watch". But hang on. What's the difference between buying a digital conversion box from a retailer (at least pounds 200) to plug in yourself, and a set-top box from a cable company (maximum pounds 50, free in some areas) which they plug in for you? A better picture, yes, but it's hardly the stuff of revolution.
The missing ingredient here is money. Three-quarters of us have shown that we are not willing to pay more than the annual 90 quid licence fee. In all the digital hype of the last 10 days, one small item of information managed to escape into the small print: the "basic" subscription package for the additional channels is likely to be "around pounds l5" - excluding the premium movie and Sky sports channels. Why should millions of us suddenly be prepared to pay nearly pounds 200 a year for more TV, just because the means of distribution is over the air rather than under the ground?
From this perspective, the competition for the terrestrial digital licence looks a little different. British Digital Broadcasting is an immensely impressive alliance between two forces that virtually run British commercial television already: Carlton Granada and BSkyB. With the BBC committed too, it would be a brave regulator which gave them the thumbs down, particularly when the technology minister Ian Taylor could barely contain his glee that "the major players are now at the table".
But what they are offering is simply more television, at a cost that most British viewers have already rejected. Their competitor, CableTel's Digital Television Network (DTN), appears to be offering a different vision, based around interactivity and data services.
The DTN bid offers investment problems, with two major backers withdrawing. It also suffers from not being part of the broadcasting establishment. But don't write them off. When the ITC adjudicates on what may be in the best long-term interest of consumers, I hope it takes a good look at the take-up rate for traditional, subscription-based TV services. And whoever wins, don't hold your breath for the revolutionn

Obama vs. the Supreme Court: US Attorney General Issues Memo
Yesterday Attorney General Eric Holder issued a memo, assuring the Supreme Court that President Obama respects the authority of the court to overturn federal laws they find unconstitutional. This memo came after Republican challengers to the Affordable Care Act accused the President of pressuring the Court during deliberations. We discuss the controversy with Jeffrey Rosen, Professor of Law at George Washington University, and Todd Zwillich, Takeaway Washington correspondent.

Blueseventy Reaction Women's Wetsuit - $394.95
If the names Gina Crawford and Lucy Hall mean anything to you, you're probably already familiar with the Washington-based Blueseventy. But, if you're not familiar with the names, perhaps you're familiar with one of its products, the Nero. Yes, the swimskin that was shortly banned from competition for essentially being too fast. This is a sample of the directive taken by the engineers at Blueseventy -- 70% of the world is covered in water, let's get through it as fast as possible. A not surprisingly, this ideology has carried over to its wetsuits. Case in point is the new Reaction Women's Wetsuit. Blueseventy produced the Reaction with a buoyancy ratio of 4-5-4. This means that the cell density of the suit's buoyancy sectors varies throughout its construction, from 4mm to 5mm. At the chest, you'll find two lateral panels of 4mm Yamamoto C38 neoprene. Additionally, the torso runs 5mm down to the lower legs. This maximizes buoyancy by keeping the hips high in the water, creating an efficient, 'downhill' swimming position. At the lower legs, where articulation is less frequent, you'll find that Blueseventy incorporated a 4mm Yamamoto C39 neoprene. So, you might be asking yourself, why is any of this important' Well, just as curvy, sleek shapes minimize your drag coefficient on land, a wetsuit's level of buoyancy is the minimizing variable in the water. The supporting science behind this claim is fairly elementary -- water is around 1000 times denser than air, and it produces a potential drag coefficient 10 times that of air, as well. So, minimizing your body's submergence is vital to optimizing hydrodynamics. Accordingly, Blueseventy awarded the Reaction with the maximum thickness allowed under IFR, 5mm. Additionally, by placing 5mm panels along the back of the hips, you'll experience less body roll through your stroke, maximizing the efficiency of your movements. However, buoyancy amounts to nothing if your flexibility is inhibited by dense neoprene. - $394.95

How it Began
And that's how I ended up in this god-forsaken place, Robert thought morosely. Even on Christmas morning the parking lots were packed with people who apparently had no children, loved ones, or friends to spend their holiday with, and went out for all the after-Christmas specials. Robert was tenacious in his efforts to get the cell phones, even in the complete state of anarchy the shopping plaza has fallen into. He wasn't sure when or how the first zombie appeared. All he knew is that without warning, the mass of people went from casual shoppers to screaming mob, running frantically this way and that. Robert spotted the zombie outside of the local grocery store, and thought it was just a prank until he saw the body lying at its feet, blood spilling out of the woman's neck. It wasn't long until the very same woman he believed to be dead stood up and began to attack innocent shoppers. Robert started rushing to his car, joining the chaos. He was shoved out of the way more than once, and each time he dared to glance around to where he had just darted from. The number of monsters was rapidly increasing and his gaze seemed locked on the horror of what was happening behind him.
Car accidents seemed to be popping up everywhere since no one was aware of the rules of the road anymore. All anyone knew was what their instincts were telling them, and what their adrenaline was pushing them to do: get away from the zombies. Without seeing it, Robert tripped over abandoned merchandise and landed in a pile of shattered glass.He winced as he remembered the piercing pain as a shard of windshield was jammed into his leg. He shouted out in pain but no one stood around to help him. Instead Robert gritted his teeth and yanked the glass out, yelling out once more. The mob of people seemed to have thinned out at the shopping plaza at that point. Either the customers had gotten out of the turmoil or they were mindless creatures. Robert remembered finally finding his car, flipped over and underneath a truck, and the sinking feeling in his stomach. The shopping plaza was humongous, the largest in the state of New Hampshire, so he decided to limp after a pair of zombies heading to a rather deserted looking location. That's what got him to the car dealership he was hiding at now.
Even all this time later, Robert's leg was still extremely painful and continued bleeding, but to a much lesser extent now. He took the stack of McDonalds napkins and made a slapdash bandage around it. A much louder drone of zombie noises snapped Robert out of his daydream and he glanced over the edge of the car dealership. There was quite a crowd of the beasts gathered around the shop now, and Robert suddenly became aware of the thunderous beating on the door to the stairway.
The air was chillier as evening rapidly approached, and he pulled his leather jacket around him more tightly. To his amazement, as he reminisced, he had picked up the bottle of beer and taken a few swigs of it. Robert's mind was growing foggy from the alcohol as he tried to think of what he would do. Maybe I could take these planks of wood, light them on fire and throw them over to the gas station next door? Robert turned his gaze to the station, ironically placed next door as if someone knew that it'd have to be blown up one day. No, he thought, shaking his head. I'm not about to kill myself too, if I don't have to. Maybe the zombies are just outside the building and there's only one or two pounding on the door. It must be easy enough to knock down something that has absolutely no fighting skills… or common sense for that matter. Then I should be able to run past easily enough. Zombies can't run, right? Robert's mind raced with possibilities of escape. He wondered if Elizabeth and Eric were okay. Taking a last chug of beer, he decided that he would look to see how many zombies were at the door. If it were too many, he'd incinerate them with the gas station and hope to find cover in time.

Contains: Phenylalanine
Active Ingredients
Not All Fibres Are Created Equal.
Sure, fibre supplements are a convenient way to increase your daily fibre intake. But what you may not have realized is that not all fibres are the same. Metamucil® is the only leading fibre supplement brand with 100% natural psyllium fibre — and that makes all the difference.
Psyllium husk, a natural dietary fibre originating from plantago ovata, has been the source of both soluble and insoluble fibre in Metamucil® for 80 years. Studies suggest that the psyllium in Metamucil works differently.
The psyllium fibre in Metamucil® forms a viscous gel that traps waste, some cholesterol and excess bile acids and gently removes them from your body. This gel also traps some carbohydrates and sugars, allowing them to be more slowly absorbed by the body. This gelling property of psyllium provides the multi-health benefits of Metamucil®.*
Storage Instructions
Recommended Storage Condition: Store below 30°C with lid tightly closed to protect from humidity.
* Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include 7 grams of soluble fibre from psyllium husk, as in Meta products, may lower cholesterol levels. Reductions in cholesterol levels may contribute to reducing the risk of heart disease. Consult a doctor if you are planning to take Meta products as part of a cholesterol lowering program. Always read the label, use only as directed. If symptoms persist, see your healthcare professional.

Cross-country pair cleared to race
Two athletes who had received a five-day race ban due to high levels of haemoglobin in their blood have been re-tested and cleared to race, the International Skiing Federation said.
Russians Natalia Matveeva and Pavel Korosteljev, who recorded high Hb levels last week and were banned from racing, are allowed to compete at the Turin Winter Olympics.
So far 10 of the 12 athletes who had previously been suspended with high Hb levels for five days early in the Games have been re-tested and cleared to race, the FIS said in a statement.
The FIS has said the bans were not sanctions but rather suspensions to protect the athletes' health.

Fasken, which specialises in international business law and litigation and has around 800 lawyers, confirmed this morning that the merger will go live on 1 February 2013.
David Corbett will continue as Fasken's firm managing partner while Blaize Vance, the current managing partner of Bell Dewar, will be the regional managing partner for Africa .
In a statement, Corbett said: "Our firm has long been known for our unique understanding of the African marketplace. This merger speaks both to the power of our brand and to the expanded capabilities and services we now offer to our global clients.The addition of the Bell Dewar team of lawyers along with our existing teams in Johannesburg, London, Paris and Canada provides us with an unrivalled base of talent and experience to bring to the African and world markets."
Vance added: "As we looked to expand our base and grow our Africa business, we considered a number of potential partners. Fasken Martineau was the obvious choice given the firm's reach, expertise and global capabilities."
In 2007, Fasken merged with Stringer Saul, becoming the first Canadian firm to merge with a London firm (4 December 2006).

BeschreibungAn illustrated architectural exploration of the history of 12 prominent mansions in the Midwest. Although most early governors did not live in mansions, staying instead in boarding houses or hotels, over time states recognized the need to provide more appropriate lodging for their chief executives.
PortraitSince the early 1980s Ann Liberman has been researching governors' mansions. Her inspiration came after a visit with the governor of Arkansas; she had been struck by the social and historical differences between the Arkansas governor's mansion and the governor's mansion in her home state of Missouri. She resides in St. Louis, Missouri, with her husband. Alise O'Brien is a photographer in St. Louis, Missouri. She was Architectural and Interior Photographer for If Walls Could Talk, by former first lady of Missouri Jean Carnahan.

When you're feeling compromised, finding a source of motivation can be a major stress. Responsibilities don't usually wait for you to be 100% ready for them, after all.
All-or-nothing thinking can invade your worldview and before long, you can get stuck there. Today on the show, we talk all about the trouble of all-or-nothing thinking, and give you five strategies for overcoming it and becoming more aware at the same time!
Inspiration comes from the most unlikely of places this week, yet sets the stage for an important conversation. Whether you're living with ADHD or not, how often do you ask yourself how you show up in your life? Do you have a clear internal understanding for what it means that you are present? Do you stop to think about what you're leaving behind? It's these questions that build the foundation for our conversation today, but certainly not where it ends!
This week on the show, we're talking about invented value, the value we ascribe to things that is ultimately made up, but that defines our emotional approach to them all the same!
Today was supposed to be a Digital episode full of a discussion on the whims of our individual value systems around our processes. It was going to be great, trust us. But then we got all this great feedback from listeners and it all sort of stacked up on us!
Our guest today is Michelle Chalfant. Michelle is a speaker, therapist, author and educator and she has crafted a model for approaching the way we interact with the world that that can help you fight those voices, the limiting beliefs, and the blocks in the middle of your road.
Today, we're talking about the stories we tell ourselves to justify our feelings. Sometimes, they help us to rationalize our own place in the world. But most often, these stories cement in us the belief that the reason we can't change — finish a project, move ahead at work, create fulfilling relationships — is somehow based in fact.
This week on the show, a story of technology failure. No, it's not the story of some tool that doesn't work for us. It's not the story of some new digital planner that has a bug. It's the story of the emotional and psychological challenge that comes when one of our trusted tools breaks, and our back-up support is not available.
According to our guests today, over five million women go undiagnosed, or misdiagnosed, yet live with ADHD. While the patterns and outcomes of a life with ADHD between men and women are similar — particularly as they age — the underlying reasons and conditions for diagnosis for women are unique.
This week on the show, we take on a listener question from Liz. Her challenge: Overcoming the anxiety and fear that comes with getting married and becoming a new parent, and how to navigate these experiences in the face of living with ADHD.
This week on the show, we're talking about the five mistakes we make when we try to make change, and the give you suggestions to overcome them so that this time you make it stick and achieve your goals with gusto!
Happy New Year everyone! As we prepare to roll the calendar over to 2017, we've opened the floor to audience questions. We received a bunch and are thrilled to offer our answers this week. From scheduling while living with personal health challenges to updates on our latest technology episode, ADHD diagnoses to paperless, we've got you covered. Thanks to everyone who shared their questions this week!
It's not too late! Even as this show hits your ears, there is still time to get out there and pick up that last minute gift. Whether you're living with ADHD and you're looking for ideas, or you're seeking the perfect gift to engage the ADHD brain of someone you love, we've come up with a dozen ideas that aim to inspire!
Our friend and ADHD coach Casey Dixon of MindfullyADD.com is back to remind us of the value of mindfulness, and share the tools, techniques and strategies that can help us stay present as we run the holiday gauntlet!
We're talking about the issues that come with paper clutter today, and we have a plan to help you deal with it in a new online course: The Paper Solution. It's an ADHD-friendly organizing system and an approach to paper designed to help you clear both the physical and mental clutter that comes from out of control paper in your life

Nigerian Trip Takes SETH Students out of Classroom
For graduate students, study abroad can present challenges beyond the usual cultural and logistical problems.
They often have jobs and families and responsibilities.
But seven students in AU's School of Education, Teaching, and Health's (SETH) International Training and Education Program overcame those limitations this spring to spend two weeks in the first SETH joint graduate exchange program with AU of Nigeria (AUN). There they conducted field studies of schools and universities, visited health facilities, talked with students and educators — and went on a safari.
Blog entries from graduate student Lauren Lopez show just how challenging — and exhilarating — the trip was for the students and Bill Churma, a SETH graduate student who helped create the course and coordinate and lead the trip.
May 16
"All of the public schools here are so different and there is very little consistency in regards to curriculum and teacher training," Lopez blogged. "The village school where I was today had four teachers per classroom — talk about a waste of resources. The class sizes were even small. Each teacher teaches a different subject and while they are waiting for their turn to teach basically lounge around outside and mingle amongst themselves. The children really aren't learning anything as the curriculum is based off of American material and they are teaching lessons that aren't relevant to their culture."
May 17
"Today I visited an Organization called Spring of Hope. This visit was probably the most incredible, rewarding and intense experience I have ever had . . . Farah [an HIV positive woman who runs the organization] has been living with HIV for 9 years now and lost both her son and husband to the disease. She is the most passionate woman I have ever met and really makes a difference in lives around the community by discussing the issue that is rarely addressed due to stigmatization."
Before going on the trip students completed online coursework and designed their individual research projects.
Some topics the students explored:
- access to education for disadvantaged youth
- teacher training in Nigeria
- civics education — how citizens are formed
- literacy education
- prekindergarten education
The experience was a success both educationally and culturally, Churma said.
"We were in the AUN bubble in Yola [the city in which American University of Nigeria is located] with many amenities" such as cafeteria meals, he said. "But as soon as we left AUN we were in a rural part of Nigeria, which was really cool."

Beware! Dolittler 2.0 goes Beta!
OK, so it's live now, not really Beta at all (I'm not even sure what that means, really). Nonetheless, I'm all nervous about Dolittler's newest incarnation. Will you like it? Will it work?
Just so you know, Dolittler 2.0 will be arriving in stages over the next few weeks (including new visuals), so if you didn't get everything you asked for don't worry, it's probably on its way.
And you'll have to wait a few more days for podcast items, OK? All I have up so far is silly Vincent and sweet departed Helen.
Please please play with the Virtual Vet Hospital and tell me what you think. I'm happy to field as many questions as you have via email or in this post's comments.

Join Date: Dec 2005

Anime Avatar Request Thread [READ GUIDELINES]
Please adhere to the rules.
Only ask for Avatars that abide by the AnimeSuki Rules
Please be aware of the
size limitations
as outlined in the
forum rules
. Avatars need to be 125 x 125 and cannot exceed 125KiB.
Do NOT
ask for GIFs or static avatars for use on forums other than AnimeSuki in this thread.
Be Patient and use Common Sense
Don't be impatient so don't keep asking for your avatar, you will get it when you get it.
If you want it sooner then go make it yourself. People are creating avatars on their own free time and as a favor to everyone.
2.1 Do not "bump" your requests. "Bumping" means to repeat a request in order to bring it back on the top of the thread, because it hasn't been fulfilled yet. Avatar makers are not blind and your request has certainly been seen. Its fulfillment depends on various factors, such as having the source available, having enough free time and so on. You even have to take into account that your request might not get fulfilled.
Please be specific when requesting an animated GIF for an avatar
We're not mind readers. We do not know what you want, so give us something specific to work with. Be detailed about the description and make sure you keep the time frame something like 2-3 seconds long. All animated GIF avatars
fit in under 50KB. Keep the scene short and simple.
I want an animated GIF from Episode 5 of
Bokura ga Ita
... the part where Nana-chan pours a cup of hot chocolate on Yano on Valentine's Day. Time frame: 11:47-11:49. Border: brown.
A word about
Even though YouTube links to
Anime are not forbidden in the forums, most avatar creators will ignore your request if you link to a YouTube clip. This is especially true if you are asking for an animated GIF avatar and your source is a YouTube clip. To expedite your request and increase the possibility of it actually being done, use the fan-sub version found via BitTorrent.
Series with their own Sub Forums
Be aware that most of the popular series do have their own sub forum on AnimeSuki. Since almost every sub forums have an avatar/signature request thread, please post your request there. Examples of famous series with their own sub forums are Bleach and Naruto.
Older Series
: A list of the Sub Forums for the older series.
Current Series
: A list of the Sub Forums for the current (ongoing) series.
This thread is mainly meant to provide help with all the series that didn't manage to get a sub forum (hence a dedicated request thread) on their own. Posting requests from the other series will only increase the traffic and slow down the working process.
Don't ask what software was used to create Avatars or Signatures
This isn't the thread to discuss software. You'll find all the information you need to get you started making animated GIFs in this thread:
How to make your own animated Gifs
. You can also find graphic "Tips & Techniques" in this thread:
Sig/Avatar tutorials by the makers
Have fun.
If you do not follow by these rules, you will be ignored or your post deleted.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything
Something to Call It
A name… What is a name?
A name is what people call something.
To give an identity to something.
So then…what if someone has no name?
Do they simply…not exist?
Or do all things have a name…?
Is it just a question of knowing it?
For the man known by many as Kenpachi Zaraki, that question had haunted his mind for centuries. If there was one thing he desired… One thing he wanted most… More then anything. More then the power, more then bloodlust…more then the greatest battle he would ever fight…He wanted one thing.
A name.
Of course, he had given himself a name, and many knew him, and feared him, by that name. But…he knew in his heart, that it was simply a pale shadow of his true name.
A true name…
Is there such a thing as a true name?
Is there a thing that you are called, and that nothing else can call you?
Or is there no such thing?
Is it simply a moniker?
A simple word that people think describes something the best?
Then is a name nothing more then a fleeting title?
Everyone has a different opinion of something, so then…would they all have a different name for something?
Is there no such thing…as a true name?
Zaraki had spent long nights, staring at the moon…wondering, pondering this problem.
Did he truly have a name?
Sense the time he had begun to try to find his Zanpaktou's name, after his battle with Ichigo, he had realized something…
They were the same.
Two nameless beings.
He did not know his Zanpaktou's name, and he did not know his own name.
He was just like a Zanpaktou he realized.
A being, with incredible power, but that power is sealed away, only accessible to those who know its name.
He wondered, was this punishment?
Did he not know his name, or the name of his zanpaktou, because someone willed it?
Was this a curse by god?
Did god fear his power?
Or did his Zanpaktou merely have no name at all?
Just like him?
To know thy name…is to know thyself
Without knowing your name…you cannot know yourself
You are your name.
It is you.
You are it.
You are one in the same.
And power is known by a name
The power is its name
The name is the power
Without knowing the name…
…there is no power.
If there was any time when Zaraki needed more power…it was now.
Aizen was dead, but the true battle was just beginning.
The battle against the rogue Shinigami had been great.
Many Shinigami, Captains, Lieutenants and even Vizard had fallen against Aizen's army of Arrancer, some dead, some merely lying in a pool of their own blood, unable to do anything.
Komamura, his life already faded, had struck down his dearest friend, the one whom had slain him.
Izuru, having finally achieved his Bankai, had battled his former Captain, who had just struck down the only one to ever love him. Even then, the battle was futile. But Izuru had done his job. As his body was pierced by a thousand blades of Shinso, Rangiku cast the final ability of her Bankai…consigning all three of them to oblivion.
Toushirou Hitsugaya…and Momo Hinamori… Probably the two people who had admired Aizen the most, had flown at the man, screaming for his blood. Hinamori, covered in pinkish flame, twin butterfly wings trailing behind her. Her childhood friend, and lover, covered in a similar pattern of ice, trailed by his draconic wings as they assailed the renegade shinigami, their eyes burning with rage. But even when they had turned the fallen powers of the Vizard against him, Aizen refused to fall.
Activating his own Bankai, and even donning his own hollow mask, Aizen brutally cut down his attackers, reducing a Dragon God of Ice, and a Butterfly Goddess of Fire, to a pair of bloody husks, barely clinging to life.
In a final, desperate bid to save the one he loved, Toushirou had summoned the last of his strength to construct a crystalline cocoon of ice around them as he had lost consciousness. The technique would hold them in a kind of cryostasis while his massive reiatsu healed them, provided nothing broke the cocoon.
However, just as Aizen was about to smash the prison of ice and kill them both, a massive reiatsu had settled over Karakura town, signaling the arrival of perhaps the one person who could challenge Aizen as a hole in reality seemed to open up, sending in eight beings.
The two former Espada, Nel Tu and Grimmjaw Jaquerjaques.
The Quincy, Uryuu Ishida.
The two humans, Orihime Inoue and Sado Yasotora.
The two Shinigami, Renji Abarai and Rukia Kuchiki.
And finally, and mightiest of them all, the substitute Shinigami, Ichigo Kurosaki.
The two former Espada and the two Shinigami had dashed into the Arrancar army, hacking through them with no concern for their own survival. The human girl, Orihime, had projected a massive barrier around those still alive as she began to undo the injuries done to them. While the three remaining attacked Aizen.
The Quincy, having assumed his ultimate form, even greater then the one he had used to defeat Kurotsuchi. The human, Chad, assumed his own ultimate form, turning into an almost pseudo-hollow. And Ichigo Kurosaki activated his Bankai and donned his hollow mask, releasing more reiatsu then he had ever before. However, even then, Aizen would not fall.
But even as Uryuu and Chad were struck down at his hand, and Ichigo had slumped, his bloodied form barely able to stand, the true power of his blade, and himself, had awakened.
Zangetsu, the black moon cutter, bestowed upon Ichigo all of his strength. The strength of the King. For what Aizen sought to destroy, had lay right in front of him this whole time. The power of Zangetsu, the greatest of all zanpaktou, the original Shinigami, the Spirit King, God had been unleashed through Ichigo.
The young Shinigami attacked Aizen once more, breaking through every defense the traitor erected. For however powerful Aizen was, he could not stand against the power wielded by Ichigo. The power of the King, of God, could not be stopped. And as the black nodachi pierced his chest, a tremendous blast of black energy ended Aizen's ambition forever, and consigned the man to the void.
Then…all hell had broken loose.
Without their leader to direct them, the hollows and Arrancar went mad, fighting and killing indiscriminately, making them more of a threat then when they were under Aizen's command. But the worst was yet to come.
Los Tres Diablos
The three oldest, and greatest of the Vasto Lorde.
Aizen had been their puppet. They had lurked in the shadows of Hueco Mundo, waiting with their army of natural Arrancar and Menos's for their time to strike. And with Ichigo, the only being that could stand against them, exhausted from the usage of his full power and not even able to stand, let alone fight, that time was now.
The dimensional rifts opened up, and an army of demons marched through. Thousands of Gillians, hundreds of Ascutches, and dozens of Arrancar and Vasto Lorde, all rushed through.
The reiatsu from the three great hollows was immense, most of the Shinigami there were killed by the pressure of it alone. These Vasto Lorde were greater then anything seen by Soul Society before. Greater then any shinigami, save the Spirit King himself. And with that, they attacked.
Grimmjaw and Nel Tu were the first to fall, ripped to pieces by crazed hollows.
Renji was next, obliterated by eighteen cero blasts as he attempted to save Rukia.
Rukia was about to be obliterated by one of the Diablo Espada's lieutenants, a lesser Vasto Lorde turned to an Arrancar as well, were it not for one thing.
The captain of squad six had been gravely wounded by Ichimaru. Though only clinging to life, he Shunpo'd to Rukia. Knowing full well he would not survive, Rukia's brother activated the final power of his bankai. The blue cero glanced off of his white wings as Byakuya flew at the damned Arrancar, and with his last breath, struck him down.
But even this sacrifice did little, for none seemed to be able to stand against the unstoppable force of hollows. Then, they arrived. The one force feared by some in Soul Society more then even the hollows.
Squad 11
Kenpachi had worn his insane grin as he dove out of the Senkaimon gate, followed by his loyal soldiers. During the time after Aizen's betrayal, Kenpachi had been training his squad harder then ever before. Now, all members of Squad 11 could activate Shikai. All seated officers could use Bankai. And all those above sixth seat, were Vizard. If any force could possibly challenge the one that now threatened the world, it was this one.
The battle was intense. Two armies, each mad with bloodlust, none fearing death, charged at the other. The Shinigami of Squad eleven were the only ones who could match this fell attack.
Kenpachi Zaraki, flanked by his lieutenants, each with Bankai activated and mask donned, had dashed into the fray, slicing through any that stood in their path. It was an absolute bloodbath, but soon, the blood of hollows seemed to be greater.
Survival, nay, Victory finally seemed possible.
But then, just as it seemed as if the forces of Seireitei might just have a chance to prevail, a horrible doom visited itself upon the battlefield.
The doom of Madness.
Orihime Inoue. The human friend of Ichigo Kurosaki. She had been trying desperately to save as many lives as she could, but such an innocent young mind like hers should not be exposed to such grim horrors that now played around her. Her mind is like that of a child's, and such kindness and innocence is consumed like fragile paper in the fires of war. The terrible bloodshed and chaos was not a thing she should witness.
But she did.
And as her fragile, innocent mind tried desperately to ignore the grim reality, the final blow was struck. The young man known as Chad, even as his body lay dieing in the rubble, was crushed by an insane Arrancar. Her friends, who had no spiritual power whatsoever, were burned away by a cero blast even as they fled to the Senkaimon Gate. To witness the horrible deaths of her dearest friends was too much for the young girl, and so her mind shattered, and all descended into madness.
For you see, her power was that of rejection. To undo what had been done. To reject reality. Normally, this would be an incredible asset to whomever it was aligned with. But, when its wielder has fallen into madness, it is a harbinger of doom. Orihime's power exploded outward. Her power rejecting everything. Undoing the very fabric of reality. Hollow, Shinigami, Human, it did not matter whom or what it touched. All was undone into a shapeless void by the expanding dome of energy.
But even as all of existence seemed doomed, a single hope remained. Using the last of his fading life force, Uryuu Ishida aimed his final shot. As the dome approached him, Uryuu let the arrow fly. The blade of light pierced the dome, and then the heart of the one he had loved most. And thus the proud Quincy order was ended.
Even then though, the battle was not over, merely interrupted.
Now Kenpachi stood hunched over, breathing heavily, his lungs fighting for oxygen. His uniform ripped and bloody. His sword, torn from his grasp, stood stabbed into the ground to his right.
When Orihime had perished, the dome of energy had exploded outward, transforming their battleground. Now, they all stood on floating masses of wreckage or debris in a great space made by the explosion of power.
Kenpachi was surrounded. And he was alone. Everyone else was either dead or dieing, or simply undone by Orihime's mad rampage. Ikkaku and Yumichika on their own platforms. Yachiru, though still alive, was in no condition to fight. By some strange stroke of luck, the hollows had completely ignored the icy crystal that held Toushirou Hitsugaya and Momo Hinamori, probably because they posed no threat. Now the Captain of Squad Eleven was surrounded by the greatest beings of Hueco Mundo, his massive reiatsu drained, his wounds massive.
If there was any time he needed more power, it was now.
Just as the hollows seemed about to attack, Kenpachi heard something. A voice he thought he would never here. A voice within his soul. A voice deeper than the sea itself.
Time seemed to freeze, and just as Kenpachi blinked, he was no longer standing amongst bloodthirsty hollows. He was still standing on mass of rubble, but the space around him had changed drastically. He was now floating in a swirling vortex of blood-red energy. Every direction he looked, there was a vortex leading directly in front of him. He was glad he wasn't thinking about this to much, because trying to focus on his surroundings would probably destroy what little sanity he had.
No, what he was focusing on was what was staring at him from the center of the whirlpool like vortex in front of him.
A great eye. Lidless, and sheathed in red flame. A black, slit pupil gazed out at the weary Captain. The great voice spoke again.
Kenpachi spoke in a low voice.
"I know who you are. You are the sword that I wield"
Kenpachi gazed downwards. He didn't know. He couldn't hear the name of his Zanpaktou. Perhaps he truly was cursed.
Kenpachi sighed. So that was it. That was why he could not know the name of his sword. He did not know his own name.
Why? Why could he not know his own name? Was this his fate? To be crushed by those he could vanquish in an instant, all because he did not know HIS OWN NAME?!
As the great swordsman wracked his mind for answers, the voice spoke again.
Kenpachi's eyes widened as images, no, memories flashed before his eyes.
A bald man with plate armor led a great army into battle.
The same man, now beget of armor, his skin a pale white, with two blades chained to his arms, rips through an army with ease
The man now stands before his master, the one who had scorned him, hated him, broken him. And now, the master kneels before the man, a great sword thrust into his throat
The same man, now stands looming above his father, a god, cloaked in white. The man raises a sword of thunder above his head, and brings it down upon the one who sired him.
Kenpachi's eyes narrowed, a smirk forming on his face as dark power gathered around him. The knowledge of who he once was. It was truly a glorious life he had lived. Even in death, he had continued his duty as a scion of battle. And his name, what a great name it was. A name that embodied conflict, battle, war. Truly, a name befitting of one such as him. In the greatest voice he could muster, he shouted out to the eye of flame.
"My name… My name is…KRATOS!"
The dark aura of power blasted out, rising to the heavens in a great cloud. The cloud then flattened and gathered in on itself, growing darker and more intense. Yet in redoubling itself, it grew stronger, and its heart grew darker verging on the shade of pure ebony.
And then, from that darkened cloud… a god emerged.
It was a titanic figure, larger then any hollow, dwarfing even the Los Tres Diablos. Its skin looked like it was cast in bronze, and it wore black armor made of molten obsidian. Its great beard and wild hair were made of living flames, and huge horns longer then even the Soukyoku halberd jutted from above its dark brow. A pair of dark, bat-like wings, each as black as night and big enough to cover all of Seireitei, jutted from its shoulders. Its eyes were the color of the Infinite Abyss. A long, reptilian tail tipped with a massive fireball emerged from its back. In its left hand was a broken sword bigger then the Soukyoku hill. In its right, was a spear that could stretch across Seireitei twice over, engraved with runes that dripped burning blood.
As the god of demons spoke its name, the man known by many as Kenpachi Zaraki could only smirk at it. Such a glorious name it was. Such a perfect name to describe the being before him. A name of blood, fire, hate, destruction, and utter annihilation. A name befitting of such a great entity.
And so they went forth as one. The God of War. And the God of Annihilation.
The hollows were about to attack, when suddenly, an explosion of power erupted from their target, forcing them back. As Kenpachi Zaraki reared himself up to his full height, the hollows sensed the power behind him. But his reiatsu was different from before.
It was evil, incomprehensibly so. Whereas before, his reiatsu felt abominable, this power felt… pure evil. It was an evil beyond words, an evil that seemed to consume all caught in its path. It is an evil far above the petty atrocities and cruelties of the human design, a malevolence that desired only destruction. It was a nefarious aura who craved only the obliteration of all things, to condemn all existence into the void.
It was the deterioration of life itself.
As Kenpachi stood, he spoke in a low voice.
"Infernos of Hell…Scourge the Lands"
As if on que, crimson flames gathered around him in a red aura as he walked to his sword.
"Cold Winds of the North…Freeze the Seas"
The temperature dropped incredibly so. Not like when Captain Hitsugaya used his power. This was like an icy blizzard…that would kill all in its path. Kenpachi continued as he reached for his sword.
"Thunderous Lightning…strike down the Heavens"
Lightning thundered across the sky above them as a storm began to gather. A storm that felt, evil. Like Heaven itself was being torn asunder. As his hand gripped the blade, the man spoke again.
"Moonless Night…Darken the skies"
The sky darkened to an inky black, like the blackest of any night. As he began to pull on the blade, the dark words came again.
"Infinite Abyss…consume my foes"
A swirling vortex of power formed underneath them, its eye as black as the sky above them, as if beckoning them into its dark embrace. As the blade was pulled from its prison, words tumbled past his lips once more.
"Wretched Oblivion…unleash the demon hordes!"
Now, as the lightning crashed, and the fires raged, the hollows could make out silhouettes on the edges of their vision. They did not know if they were real or not, but they could see what they were. Demons. Millions of them. An army more terrible then they could hope to imagine.
As Kenpachi raised his sword above his head, and that evil power grew even stronger be the second, he spoke one last time, in a voice deeper then the sea itself.
"Now…Reign in the Apocalypse…SARGERAS!!"
Power, greater then any felt in that world before, exploded outward. The lesser hollows were vaporized by its presence alone, other burned away by its fiery shockwave.
As the light dissipated, the once great hollows, now frozen, in either fear or the nigh-infinite reiatsu pressing down on them beheld their foe, their executioner.
A new, final hell had arrived. But this one would be brought to bear against the enemies of Seireitei. And it would destroy every last one of them.
In the end, all you need to know something… is something to call it.
AN: Yeah I know, you were probably expecting an update to Naruto no Kyuubi or Roku Naruto. Sorry, but I've had some writers block with those, plus I couldn't write anything else until I got this idea out of my head. Not to mention finals, and the TWO ten-page research papers I had to do, plus the awesomeness of Ninja Gaiden II. So I've been pretty busy as of late. I'll have them up soon, hopefully by the end of the week, or at most the end of next week.
Also, I find my respect for Sasuke dropping, immensely. I mean seriously, he took everything that Itachi did for him, and then ignores everything Itachi was trying to teach him. I can tell that by the end of the series, Sasuke is going to be dead. We all know it. Which is probably why Itachi gave Naruto some form of the Sharingan (probably to resist the Mangekyou's ability to control Kyuubi is my bet). One things for sure, things are getting interesting (again).
Read and Review (and we all know that Kratos is the only being badass enough who could have been Kenpachi when he was alive)

About twice a day now, our Spiceworks keeps locking up and I have to stop and restart the service. It has done this on two different servers (Win 2k3R2) with two different versions of Spiceworks, and even does it if I have it set to not run as a service. I've sent a an email to support with the package about a week ago but haven't heard anything back.
I also notice that right after I get it to start back up, it immediatly starts running a hidden cmd.exe process that constantly runs a ping.exe process. What is it always pinging? Can it be disabled?
Anyone else have these problems?

I'm sorry for your inconvenience. Did you get a resolution for this?
May 16, 2008 at 8:16 UTC
No, for some reason my emails bounced back to me and I haven't had time to resend them. I've just been restarting the service every morning when I come in. :/

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm going to send you a Private Message with some instructions to try out.

with all the thoughts running through my head,
the one that stalls me and
sends my heart racing
is temptation.
the thought of your hands
exploring my body.
your fingertips
brushing softly against the back of my neck
sending an electric shock
through my body.
your hands
tangled in mine
sending chills up my spine
and warmth through my veins.
your kisses
permanently staining
every inch of my skin
and stealing the air
out of my lungs.
your eyes,
like spirals of jaded ice,
make mine light up
and my heart melt inside.
your voice,
so deep and
so smooth,
linger in the back of my mind
and i long to be with you.
your arms
envelop me
as our bodies combine,
and i can feel your heart
pound against mine.
and as soon as we begin to
crave these small,
that's when we're truly fucked.
- l.m.

16:58 17th March 2012
Match Sponsored By:
Second half strikes from Ryan Lowe and Gary Madine gave Sheffield Wednesday saw Notts County's unbeaten run come to an end.
In a goalless first half, either side could have edged in front. Alan Judge and Alan Sheehan came closest for the Magpies, whereas Julian Bennett and Michail Antonio threatened for the Owls.
Lowe broke the deadlock in the 53rd minute with a well-placed finish at close range. Madine doubled the lead on 66, firing powerfully into the bottom corner.
New loan signing Lloyd Sam came off the bench to give Notts hope with a late finish. A second goal never came and County were beaten for the first time under Keith Curle.
For the first time since arriving at the club, Curle named an unchanged starting 11. The only alterations came on the bench, with Krystian Pearce and Sam replacing Mike Edwards and Ishmel Demontagnac.
Notts went into the fixture against the automatic promotion chasers full of belief, having beaten table topping Charlton Athletic seven days earlier. Both outfits were in good form and a buzz circulated around Meadow Lane prior to kick-off, as both sets of fans chanted passionately for their team.
The early exchanges saw Notts create the better of the opportunities, the first coming in the second minute, when Alan Sheehan's climbing, defensive header allowed Alan Judge to surge forward down the right. A neat infield pass to Jonathan Forte led to Jon Harley firing over from the edge of the penalty area.
Against Charlton, Jeff Hughes picked out Forte with a wonderful, right-wing cross that enabled the striker to head home. The same almost happened again, only Wednesday defender Danny Batth showed good anticipation to touch the ball away from Forte at the near post.
Despite having a lot of possession, the Owls were held up by an organised home formation. Their first effort at goal came from Chris Lines' corner but Rob Jones was unable to keep his header down.
Judge's 25-yard hit flew over the bar and Sheehan had a dangerous, in-swinging delivery headed clear inside the back post, as Notts searched for an opener. At the other end, Madine had a penalty call turned down, when Liam Chilvers prodded the ball away from him in a fine goal-scoring position.
Ahead of the break, the visitors had two chances to take the lead, with the first coming from a breakaway attack. Antonio raced through on goal, after holding off the last man, Kieron Freeman, but he failed to hit the target, poking into the side-netting.
Antonio was also a threat with his long throw and, when the County rearguard failed to deal with a high ball, Julian Bennett looked set to capitalise at the back post. The defender's low drive at close-range was somehow kept out by Freeman, who bravely threw his body on the line with a superb block.
In added time, Jon Harley was sent tumbling on the edge of the box. Sheehan stepped up to swerve inches over, meaning the teams went into the interval on even terms.
Wednesday came out after the break looking increasingly dangerous and they could have broken the deadlock, following a quick one-two that allowed Madine into the left channel. The Magpies were stretched but Stuart Nelson intercepted the forward's centre.
Notts were punished on the opposite flank, when the danger man, Antonio, drifted past a number of players to fire a low cross across the face of goal. Lowe attacked the near post and guided the ball into the bottom-left corner with a neat finish.
Judge nearly had County on level terms, when he made space down the left and whipped in a teasing cross. Hughes attacked the ball but at the last possible moment, Bennett diverted the ball behind with a crucial diving header.
On 57, Nelson prevented Notts from going 2-0 down. From a free-kick, Miguel Llera, who had replaced the injured Jones, curled powerfully around the wall but the stopper leapt across his goal-line to tip around the post at full stretch.
Judge rifled inches over moments prior to the Owls' second goal, which was scored by the visitors' top-scorer, Madine. The former Carlisle hitman pounced on an unsuccessful clearance attempt and drilled unstoppably into the bottom-left corner.
Subsequent to the opening strike, Sam was introduced at the expense of Harley. Following the second goal, Ben Burgess replaced Gavin Mahon, as the Magpies added weight to their attack in an attempt to salvage something from the game.
County pushed hard but were restricted to half chances. Judge drilled wide from range and Forte latched on to a Burgess flick-on to produce a dipping volley that grazed the roof of the net.
Sam pulled a goal back for the Magpies with just two minutes remaining. The wideman met Judge's left-wing free-kick with a leaping finish, setting up a tense close to the match.
However, Notts struggled to get out of their own half, as Wednesday played down the clock. They nearly added a third during four minutes of stoppage time as well but substitute Chris O'Grady's low shot was batted away by Nelson.

Jail French hoped Laurier would protect French language and Roman Catholic religion. Hoped Fr. & Eng could get along. Often walked a fine line – side with Fr. Or Eng.??? Manitoba Act – Manitoba established English only schools => violation of Manitoba Act. • Laurier won election standing up for Fr. Rights. MacDonald refused to intervene in Manitoba school issue & lost election. IMPERIALISM: A FRENCHENGLISH SPLIT Most English-Canadians were loyal to the British Empire (Imperialists). 'French-Canadiens' preferred to think of themselves as independent. THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR BOER WAR BOER WAR Britain wanted to ensure equal rights to all British citizens in South Africa. NOTE – Diamonds and gold were discovered in the area. They met resistance from the Boers (early Dutch descendants in the area) who felt the British were taking their land. England showed its force by calling on its colonies to help defeat the Boers. English-Canadians – "Help mother country". French-Canadians – "This is not our war". Laurier's Compromise Only send volunteers (7300). THE ALASKA BOUNDARY DISPUTE When the US bought Alaska from Russia, no one cared about Panhandle border until gold was discovered in the Yukon. THE ISSUE – Canada could not gain access without US permission to enter fiords. THE SOLUTION – A six man tribunal was established to find a solution. Jury – 3 Americans, 2 Canadians, 1 British. PROBLEM – Britain did not want to anger US as needed their support in a border dispute in Venezuela. Tired from Boer War and did not want another conflict. THE VOTE - Four (US & Brt.) to Two (Can.) => The US was granted the Alaskan Panhandle. THE CONSEQUENCES – Canada felt Brt. had 'stabbed us in the back.' - calls for greater independence. NOTE – The Klondike Gold Rush stimulated investment, immigration, & established the Yukon Territory in 1898. Alaskan Boundary Tribunal THE NAVAL ISSUE By the 1900s Germany's Navy was becoming a force. In 1906, Britain countered with the HMS Dreadnought. The first "all-big-gun"battleship. With Germany threatening the British navy, Britain put out the call to her colonies. " We defend you. You should help pay." English – "Send money to our protectors." French – "Build our own navy." Laurier's Compromise => 1910 Naval Service Act Canada would build its own ships & lend to Britain in time of need. Imperialists – "Tin Pot Navy." French – tied Can. to British policy. THE LAURIER BOOM Farming – Demand for wheat. REASONS FOR LAURIER'S BOOM: Fishing World economies increased. Canadian markets expanded. S. African & Yukon gold increased world capital. Railways Industry demanded raw resources. Transportation Lumber, fish & minerals. Shipping & Railroads improved allowing Canada to compete. Rising world prices helped farmers. Yukon Gold Manufacturing & hydroelectricity increased factory output.

Komagata Maru East Indians aboard the Komagata Maru Saw unskilled immigrants as a threat to livelihoods. Employers hiring cheap labour. French feared loss of culture/language. Assimilation not likely with E. Europeans & non-white. East Indians challenged Continuous Passage law by chartering their own steamer. Authorities forced ship out of Vancouver. THE STRUGGLE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Women's Suffrage The Right to Vote / Franchise Maternal feminists – felt women could bring a fresh, compassionate perspective to politics. Improve status of women who often lived a harsh life. Led by Nellie McClung. st Prairie women = 1 to vote => 'work by your man.' B.C. started in 1871 & women gained vote in 1917. Social Reforms Prohibition – blamed most social ills (poverty, child neglect, & abuse) on alcoholism. Formed the Womens Christian Temperance Union (WCTU). Nellie McClung CULTURAL EXTINCTION Gov'ts main objective was assimilation & treaties/reserves to free up land for settlement. The Natives used the Royal Proclamation of 1763 and the Indian Act of 1876 to protect their land & Residential schools culture. Residential schools Could not practice customs or languages.
