A History of Gold
child finds a shiny rock in a creek, thousands of years ago, and the human race is introduced to gold for the first time.
Gold was first discovered as shining, yellow nuggets. "Gold is where you find it," so the saying goes, and gold was first discovered in its natural state, in streams all over the world. No doubt it was the first metal known to early hominids.
Gold became a part of every human culture. Its brilliance, natural beauty, and luster, and its great malleability and resistance to tarnish made it enjoyable to work and play with. Because gold is dispersed widely throughout the geologic world, its discovery occurred to many different groups in many different locales. And nearly everyone who found it was impressed with it, and so was the developing culture in which they lived.
Gold was the first metal widely known to our species.
When thinking about the historical progress of technology, we consider
the development of iron- and copper-working as the greatest
contributions to our species' economic and cultural progress - but gold
came first. Gold is the easiest of the metals. It occurs in a virtually
pure and workable state, whereas most other metals tend to be found in
ore-bodies that pose some difficulty in smelting. Gold's early uses
were no doubt ornamental, and its brilliance and permanence (it neither
corrodes nor tarnishes) linked it to deities and royalty in early
Gold has always been powerful stuff. The earliest history of human interaction with gold is long lost to us, but its association with the gods, with immortality, and with wealth itself are common to many cultures throughout the world. Early civilizations equated gold with gods and rulers, and gold was sought in their name and dedicated to their glorification. Humans almost intuitively place a high value on gold, equating it with power, beauty, and the cultural elite. And since gold is widely distributed all over the globe, we find this same thinking about gold throughout ancient and modern civilizations everywhere.
Gold, beauty, and power have always gone together. Gold in ancient times was made into shrines and idols ("the Golden Calf"), plates, cups, vases and vessels of all kinds, and of course, jewelry for personal adornment.
The "Gold of Troy" treasure hoard,
excavated in Turkey and dating to the era 2450 -2600 B.C., show the
range of gold-work from delicate jewelry to a gold gravy boat weighing
a full troy pound. This was a time when gold was highly valued, but had
not yet become money itself. Rather, it was owned by the powerful and
well-connected, or made into objects of worship, or used to decorate
sacred locations.
Gold has always had value to humans, even before it was money. This is demonstrated by the extraordinary efforts made to obtain it. Prospecting for gold was a worldwide effort going back thousands of years, even before the first money in the form of gold coins appeared about 700 B.C. In the quest for gold by the Phoenicians, Egyptians, Indians, Hittites, Chinese, and others, prisoners of war were sent to work the mines, as were slaves and criminals. And this happened during a time when gold had no value as 'money,' but was just considered a desirable commodity in and of itself.
The 'value' of gold was accepted over the world. Today, as in ancient times, the intrinsic appeal of gold itself has that universal appeal to humans. But how did gold come to be a commodity, a measurable a unit of value?
The first use of gold as money occurred around 700 B.C.,
when Lydian merchants produced the first coins. These were simply
stamped lumps of a 63% gold and 27% silver mixture known as 'electrum.'
This standardized unit of value no doubt helped Lydian traders in their
wide-ranging successes, for by the time of Croesus of Mermnadae, the
last King of Lydia (570 -546 B.C.), Lydia had amassed a huge hoard of
gold. Today, we still speak of the ultra-wealthy as being 'rich as
Gold, measured out, became money.
Gold's beauty, scarcity, unique density (no other metal outside the
platinum group is as heavy), and the ease by which it could be melted,
formed, and measured made it a natural trading medium. Gold gave rise
to the concept of money itself: portable, private, and permanent. Gold
(and silver) in standardized coins came to replace barter arrangements,
and made trade in the Classic period much easier.
Gold was money in ancient Greece.
The Greeks mined for gold throughout the Mediterranean and Middle East
regions by 550 B.C., and both Plato and Aristotle wrote about gold and
had theories about its origins. Gold was associated with water
(logical, since most of it was found in streams), and it was supposed
that gold was a particularly dense combination of water and sunlight.
Their science may have been primitive, but the Greeks learned much about the practicalities of gold mining. By the time of the death of Alexander of Macedon (323 B.C.), the Greeks had mined gold from the Pillars of Hercules (Gibraltar) all the way eastward to Asia Minor and Egypt, and we find traces of their placer mines today. Some of the mines were owned by the state, some were worked privately with a royalty paid to the state. Also, nomads such as the Scythians and Cimmerians worked placer mines all over the region. The surviving Greek gold coinage and Scythian jewelry both show superb artistry.
Find treasures has never been easier with the Wireless XP Deus, Fisher and Garrett metal detectors are some of the most popular coin and relic hunting items.

A Sister and Brother Battle to Escape Domestic Abuse: 'Everyone was against us'
Player utilities
This story is based on a radio interview. Listen to the full interview.
Skip to content
This story is based on a radio interview. Listen to the full interview.
Marco Werman: Since the outcry over the gang-rape and the subsequent death of a young woman in Delhi last December, we at The World have discussed violence against women around the globe a lot. Those conversations have been dominated by the voices of female activists, but tomorrow we're hosting a live video chat exploring the role of men in fighting violence against women. One activist who will be joining us online is 24-year-old Ali Shahidy from Kabul, Afghanistan. A few years ago, Shahidy helped his sister escape from an abusive marriage in neighboring Iran. He wasn't a defender of women. Shahidy says when he was growing up in Afghanistan, the abuse suffered by his mothers and sisters didn't shock him.
Ali Shahidy: I was raised in a family where violence against women was a very ordinary everyday thing and we used to see our mom being beaten. And almost every Afghan family witnesses and experiences domestic violence in their homes and we were raised by that culture and I became violent. And even women, they accepted the status quo. They accepted whatever was happening on them. I'm not blaming them. I'm just saying that this is our culture.
Werman: Maybe you can help us understand. I mean what goes through the average Afghan male's head when he happens to be beating a woman? Why is he thinking he's doing it.
Shahidy: If a man beats his wife or he can control his wife or he can control his sisters, he feels proud for this. The entire culture is something that accepts men's superiority to be dominant and to be masculine.
Werman: You yourself beat your sister, you write, when you were younger.
Shahidy: Yes. Yes, when I was younger, I was controlling their mobility and I was controlling their appearance, their look, the way they would appear outside and if I didn't want them to do anything, to do something, or if I didn't want them to go outside and if they were persistent, yes, I was using violence.
Werman: But tell me, Ali, what changed for you personally?
Shahidy: The challenge of rescuing my sister from her abusive husband made me go through the laws, Islamic laws and domestic laws about women's rights and study more and more about women's rights. Because when we decided to divorce my sister from her husband there were more laws, our lawmakers who opposed with our decision and they were mainly in favor of the man. Everybody was against us. Even our very close relatives, they were all blaming us and they were all against us. Well, I couldn't accept this. Gradually this really made me more and more passionate about women's rights because I wanted to advocate for my sister. I wanted to save her. I wanted to rescue her.
Werman: Where is your sister now?
Shahidy: She's now here with us in Kabul and she's safe and her husband is in Iran and he has no access to us and they're divorced now.
Werman: 24-year-old Kabul activist Ali Shahidy. Find out more about how he helped his sister escape the husband who was abusing her by joining Shahidy in our live video chat tomorrow. Just go to theworld.org. at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time.

1. Re: truncating WF_ERROR, WF_DEFERREDpetercmoore Nov 5, 2012 3:46 PM (in response to Simakas)Hi.
I'm in same position as you. Millions of records in WF_ERROR and WF_DEFERRED. And no apparent way to easily remove rows.
Did you end up truncating these tables in Production? Any issues when you did so?
2. Re: truncating WF_ERROR, WF_DEFERREDAlejandro Sosa-Oracle Nov 5, 2012 4:28 PM (in response to Simakas)WF_ERROR queue is used for error reporting purposes. You can rebuilt the queue table and get away with it, but any failures that occurred and have not been notified about could be missed.
WF_DEFERRED is a functional queue and it contains messages for applications all around, of any type. Messing with this queue is very advised against. It cannot be recovered but from a backup. You want this queue to be successfully dequeued and processed by the Deferred Agent Listener.
Now, as with any queue in Advance Queuging (Streams) you can check the property RETENTION_TIME of the queue table. When a message is processed and no longer needed, the message will be there for as many seconds as this column reads. Check DBA_QUEUES.RETENTION_TIME. Usually this value should be zero but sometimes can be increased so as to let messages sit there for a while and run debug activities. If no issues are present then the retention time should be zero and messages should be removed as soon as they are processed.
Please check dbms_aqadm package to see how to change the retention_time.
Lastly, check what the status of those messages are. Ideally you should only have status=0 (ready to be processed by the next loop of the agent listener) or 2 (processed). Large amounts of messages in other states are to be investigated.

Hi, I'm Ron, and this is my wife, Sarah.
Welcome to my personal website. My creativity, athletic interests, and appetite are based in Farmington, CT.
Welcome to my personal website. My creativity, athletic interests, and appetite are based in Farmington, CT.
I am originally from Cranston, RI, where I lived until going to college. I grew up in a neighborhood full of Italian friends, and therefore, good food!
My family still lives in RI, and when I'm home, we all enjoy a day at the beach, a meal out, or both. Meeting up for a show at a casino is also fun.
After Cranston High School West, I attended the Art School at The University of Hartford. I graduated with a BFA in Visual Communication Design.
Since June 30, 2006, I have been employed by ESPN. I'm a user experience product designer, regularly studying the HIG and Material Design.
The Yankees are my team, but I also root for the NY Giants, Celtics, and Bruins. I know, strange mix, but one that speaks to living in CT.
Baseball has always been my game and 3B my position. Whether in a league, the backyard, or on a video game system, I love our National Pastime.
I started this sport in September 2010 and have never looked back. You'll often find me promoting it among friends. Its been a great lifestyle change.
I often wonder if I eat to live, or live to eat. Since CrossFit, I try to stay close to Paleo, but when those cheat meals come, I love to live it up!

PennDOT to keep focus on repairs
PennDOT will continue focusing on road and bridge repairs, rather than new construction, this construction season in Butler and Armstrong counties, its regional executive says.
Locally, key projects include improvements to Route 356 and Route 28 in Buffalo Township.
Another project of interest this year is construction on Saxonburg's Main Street that will be in keeping with the town's historical character.
District Executive Joseph Dubovi said funding has been flat. But with more attention having been paid to bridge repairs lately, Dubovi said, "We still have to keep doing the bridge work but the roadways are getting worse."
"We're trying to juggle both," said Dubovi, who said PennDOT has been using a Band-Aid approach for roads by patching and sealing instead of repaving.
Projects for the Alle-Kiski Valley this construction season include:
• Saxonburg: Construction of new sidewalks, curbing, handicapped-accessible ramps, landscaping and street lighting on Main Street between Pittsburgh Street and North and South Rebecca streets.
The $1.2 million project will be completed by August.
• Route 28 at Exit 17: New traffic signal at the end of the Route 28 ramp at the Butler/Freeport exit and Route 356 in Buffalo Township.
PennDOT is installing the new light because of traffic accidents and back-ups to Route 28, according to Paul Koza, assistant district executive. The project is expected to cost less than $500,000.
• Route 28 near Exit 16: PennDOT will repair a Route 28 southbound bridge in Buffalo Township near the Millerstown Freeport exit (Exit 16) in Harrison.
• Route 356: Traffic signal updates at existing traffic lights on Route 356 in Buffalo Township.
Further down the road
There are other projects planned for 2014-16, but many are not yet budgeted.
Those include:
• Clinton Township: PennDOT wants to change the intersection of Route 228 and Saxonburg Boulevard. The agency plans to improve the "Y" intersection because sight lines are difficult. Also, the update is important for future development in the area, according to Brian Allen, assistant district executive.
The project is state funded but not until 2016, Allen said.
• Winfield: PennDOT wants to replace a bridge on Winfield Road over Little Buffalo Creek. The 33-foot bridge project is expected to cost in the lower range of $1 million to $5 million, according to Allen. Construction money hasn't been approved.
• Buffalo Township: Repave a 4.5-mile section of road from the intersection of Route 228 and Route 356 to Saxonburg Boulevard. The project is not yet funded.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hello. I'm concerned about my college roommate. She is usually either out of the room, sleeping at weird times, or playing her ukelele. I'm concerned about her mental health. She won't share anything with me, and she won't go to free, on-campus counseling. Sleeping a lot is either a sign of depression or obesity. It isn't the latter because she isn't overweight. I am trying the best that I can to be a supportive roommate. She is really close to a mutual friend who lives across the hall, and I've already told that friend what is going on. What else can I do?
I would like to help you with your question.
Sleeping a lot can be due to numerous things. She may be feeling ill, she may be bored, she may require more sleep than others, maybe she is unmotivated, or you may be right that she is depressed. Let's look at this a little closer...
Has her behavior changed recently? Was she once more active, more involved with school, slept less? Are her classes more stressful this semester? Is she drinking or using chemicals?
I think it was a great decision to talk to her friend across the hall...getting another set of "eyes" on the situation is important.
I await your response.
Her behavior hasn't changed recently. She's been this way since the beginning of the semester. She isn't drinking or on drugs.
She could be bored and/or unmotivated. She said that her grades aren't the best.
So she could be feeling rather down because of her grades and then instead of trying to get support and help to improve the grades she is feeling down on herself and negative. College is meant to be challenging and often we don't have the best coping skills. So...she just might not know what to do to pull up her grades and is feeling "paralyzed" by the stress.
It seems to me that you want to be helpful. So maybe you could ask her to study together or get the friend across the hall to come up with a study plan with you.
Our self-esteem does take a hit when our grades aren't where we want them to be...or when we think we might be disappointing our parents, our professors, and so forth. Perhaps this is where she is...feeling bad about herself and not knowing what to do about it.
You were right in suggesting that she be seen at the counseling center on campus. Perhaps the friend across the hall could talk to her about this.
Thank you for your help. I like those ideas.
Great! You really do seem like a caring person and need to be commended for caring about your roommate! Let's hope she is just in a slump and that she will allow you and her other friend to help here through this rough patch in life!

Yellowstone's Sustainability Program
There are many ways in which Xanterra Parks & Resorts helps manage its resources at each in-park lodging facility to further protect the natural wonder that is Yellowstone National Park. Check back regularly for updates from Yellowstone's Environmental Director and learn about the environmental impact of each effort.
Yellowstone Builds Green
Xanterra Parks & Resorts has been a pioneer green building proponent for hospitality that combines environmental stewardship, historic preservation, modern visitor needs, and innovative partnerships with the National Park Service and other stakeholders. We believe that high performing facilities are the key to quality services and delighted visitors, efficient operations and comfortable employees, and the ability to adapt and endure through both current and future conditions in our parks.
At Yellowstone National Park, we value our role as a steward to iconic buildings—and leader setting the standard for new ones. We have achieved several significant "firsts" in Certifications for our Green Building projects through the years: the Gardiner LEED residences were the first in Montana; the Paintbrush Residence at Old Faithful was the first concessionaire project to earn LEED Platinum designation; and the forthcoming Canyon Area Lodging Redevelopment (CALR) is poised to become one of the largest, if not the most intensive, LEED projects throughout our public parks. To get an idea of how unique the modular-based CALR construction effort was, we think that the live, timelapsed video feeds linked here are a fascinating depiction. Watch our project collaborators in action through the seasons and rise and fall of the sun!

Record Waste Diversion in Yellowstone
During a strategic session with noted environmentalist Hunter Lovins, Xanterra developed a series of ambitious 2015 Environmental Vision Goals. They included a waste diversion target of 50% that we have come very close to achieving company-wide, and our operations at Yellowstone have consistently surpassed it.
In 2008—seven years before the target date—Xanterra's Yellowstone operation not only achieved, but also greatly exceeded this goal. We diverted a remarkable 72% of our solid waste from landfill disposal through aggressive efforts in recycling, composting, material reuse, green procurement, and donations. Strategies for diversion encompassed a broad scope across all departments and activities; a focus on employee education and participation has proven to be key to the success of the endeavor.
In 2014, we demonstrated an improvement with 74% of waste diverted. Over 4 million pounds of material were recycled, composted, reused or donated. Along with the typical recycled materials such as paper, plastic, cardboard, aluminum, and glass, Xanterra expanded its efforts to encompass a broad spectrum of materials. In addition to conventional recyclables (cans, bottles, paper, etc.), Xanterra also recycles or donates for reuse wood pallets, denim for insulation, bar soap, used oil, tires, laundry bags, linens, curtains, batteries, cooking oil, manure, solvents, and more. In 2014, we recycled over 9,000 pounds of computers and other electronics/electrical equipment, shipped over 600,000 pounds of manure for reuse in agriculture, donated 42,750 pounds in mattresses for refurbishment for low-income housing, and constructed bags from discarded shower curtains for use in its laundry.
Additionally, initiatives in green procurement, such as preference for biodegradable to-go containers, and a comprehensive waste sorting program enable Xanterra to have a high portion of compostables. This material is sent to the West Yellowstone Compost Facility, where it was converted into nearly 2 million pounds of usable soil amendment in the last year of operation.
Xanterra's new 2025 goals guide progress toward certification of at least 25 percent of its assets as landfill-free (zero waste).

I know it just sounds so cliché and you're probably tired of hearing me say it, but I cannot wrap my head around the fact that you are already 9 months old. In my head I should still be rocking you and watching you sleep in your swing all day but alas, those days are over. And here we are.
We had your 9 month checkup today, actually! You clocked in at 17 pounds and 9 ounces, putting you in just the 25th percentile for weight! I cannot believe it. You look like such a little chunk to me! Your little rolls on your belly and arms and dimples in your thighs are too sweet to only be in the 25th percentile--the scale HAS to be wrong ;). Your height was just over 27" (about the 40th percentile) and your head was in the 50th. You are happy, healthy, and growing like a weed!
To go along with your height/weight, I thought I would update on where you are at for clothes. You wear either 6 or 9 month jammies. The 9 are still a little long and hard to crawl in but the 6 we seem to be putting another pair away every day or so that no longer fit. You are in all 6 month clothes and they seem to fit pretty well for now. You still don't wear shoes often but you are about a size 2 right now. Your diaper size is also size 2.
Did you catch what I mentioned up above?! YOU ARE CRAWLING!!! A couple weeks ago (at about 8.5 months old) you finally got the movement sequence down and from there it took you about a week until you were zipping all around the place. You are SO speedy now and can get from Point A to Point B so quickly. You love following Milania around the house to see what she's up to and like being in the middle of it all. It doesn't take you long before you make your way back to the bathroom or bedroom if I wander back there either. But your favorite thing? Trying to escape when the sliding glass door opens up! We let the puppies out the back door and anytime you see that door open you squeal like a little bird and make a bee line for it. I'm not sure what you think you will do once you get outside but you're determined.
You also have a new found love of clapping and Patty Cake. It takes you a minute to get your hands to actually connect in the middle but once you get going, you get the biggest smile like you are SO proud of yourself.
You are still a mama's girl but you are really starting to like daddy also now. You light up when he walks through the door and will cry if he leaves the room or tries to hand you off when you're not quite ready to leave his arms. It is so sweet to see you melt for him, finally.
Aside from us two, you still don't like many people. If one of the grandparents has been around as of late you will warm up to the them a little faster than most but in general, you're just not a people person!
Trying to eat dog food
The movie Frozen-this is terrible but you really do like it. You have seen it so much because of Milania you will stop what you're doing and actually watch it when you hear it begin!
Mommy and Daddy
Car rides
Diaper changes
Changing your clothes
Getting out of the bath
Things to look forward to this month
Your first Easter!! We are so excited!!

Like I'd want to advertise this? Worldwide?!? Forget it!
~David D.G.
This past weekend I spent an hour playing City of Heroes with my headphones on so I would not bother my wife in the next room. It was not until I stopped playing that I realized the headphones were not plugged in and I was hearing the game through the speakers.
This isn't funny but it is really dumb.
I was cleaning the oven last Monday and while wiping down the surface, I turned the gas knob by mistake. I did not realize it and moved on to clean the bathrooms which left it turned on for nearly an hour.
When I returned to the kitchen the entire place smelled of gas. Thankfully, I was able to contain the situation.
Just in case you're wondering, the alarm installed in our house did not go off but is apparently working fine according to the repairguy.
I agreed to go in to work on what's supposed to be my morning off tomorrow. *grumbles*
I was taking out the garbage at work (I work in a store at a strip-mall type thing), so I was going through the corridor that connects all the stores from behind and I noticed that Sports Mart had their stockroom door open, so I'm peaking in as I'm walking and I almost walked into a box. I think one of the Reitmans' associates might have seen me too. =/
I just spent five days stressing about an essay I had due, up to and including pulling an all-nighter to get it finished on time.
Then I realized that it was due on the third of OCTOBER, not September.
I couldn't stop laughing for an hour after I figured it out. At least I'm planning ahead? XD
A couple weeks ago, I went to watch a few friends play softball in a regular league they belong to. They were short one player and despite not having played on a diamond for about 15 years, I agreed to fill in until they could get a regular sub to play. I've not done regular exercise in a couple years so my weight has become an issue for me and I didn't warm up because it was really short notice ("Hey, So-and-so isn't here yet, can you bat right now?"). Well, I took two pitches (both balls) and made contact (weak ground ball to third) on the thrid pitch and on my way to first, I sprained my ankle. That'll teach me.
PS, I'm not unathletic (really I'm not). I used to be pretty good at baseball when I was younger.
Chose a woman as my VP because I thought it would win over bitter Hillary supporters only to have it blow up in my face because she wasn't properly vetted.
I recently made a comment critical of a recent post of PZ Myers on his Pharyngula concerning the protests in his home-state at the RNC. I didn't realize that liberals can act just like fundies when defending one of their prophets of the New Atheism. I like PZ and agreed with his Wafergate, but I don't think he is being very reasonable and rational concerning the protests. And as a cop I didn't appreciate some of the blanket statements made about "all" those involved in law enforcement made by some of the commenters. But what do I know… I'm one of "them".
Uhm, can't really think of something really stupid I did in the last few weeks. But as far as stupidity and bad judgment extend, well, back in July, I was at a party, drank way too much for my own good, ended up getting sick, and then wanted to go to sleep, but the house's owner(a friend) had a female co-worker who got all concern-troll about me, she wanted to make sure I got settled okay. She took me downstairs and in the worst (post?)drunken condition, I hooked up with a woman that was so unattractive, simple-minded, obese, and shallow that I felt repulsed the next morning. On one hand, I laughed it off by saying I was "date raped", but on the other hand, I didn't say no. I nodded, and went the whole nine, whatever my condition may have been. That was REALLY stupid.
Why does this feel so much like early Catholic confessional, where I get the sense I haven't sinned enough to satisfy my priest's expectations of the kind of shit a 10 year old, much less a 26 year old is guilty of, so I want to pad the list?
Anyways,that's all the truth you get,
Freelancer +4
The latest? It's so hard to choose…
At a convention, I had about a dozen 1 1/2″ buttons in the front pocket of my jeans. I didn't notice one had slipped open and the entire pin back was through the pocket when I went to the bathroom-
I did when I yanked back on my jeans though, because I gashed my leg from knee to hip and wound up bleeding through the denim… :/
I recently started a comment to a blog and then forgot what I was going to say so I had to end it rather lamely like this……….
I wore a dress with buttons on the front a bit too small for the holes. So as the day at school drew to a close, I noticed some guys snickering at me, but I had no idea why.
It wasn't until later that I realized the top three buttons of my dress had cunningly decided to slip out of their holes, and my underthings were in stark, clear view. XD
My toaster sits on the counter of my kitchen under some cubords, there's about a foot of clearance between the top of the toaster and the underside of the kitchen cubords.
Anyway it was early and dark and i stuck my head above the toaster, under the cubords, to peer in to see the status of the toast when the toast popped up and I startled, wacking the back of my head against the cubords above and almost knocking myself unconsious.

Is god ripping that poor mans face off?
Seriously though, I thought god was a nice bloke.
Pretty cool but I just remembered about the far side books and you're god/viking looks like a gary larson!!
Anyway thats pretty fucking cool
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Wow! Really amazing, I liked very much from the position of the light and glows in your drawing, that make a incredible scene. Also, the blood seems very realistic, even more, by he splashed in viking clothes.
Viking's clothes, with their belts and everything was cool. The background was also very interesting, in which you drew in a different way from how you drew the two characters.
Good work, gave you 5/5 and a 10 score.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I like this
I love the fact that it's in "black and white" and not in color. I just don't think that there needs to be color in something like this. Very good work!
Thanks man
I usually dont do colour but ive started working with it and i thought i would just leave this one
Rated 4 / 5 stars
I like the overall composition. And the shading isn't too bad. Definitely good for a first try at it.

An ode to Meryl Streep's brilliant selfie, taken at a Lakers game with 50 cent and Kobe Bryant.
His highly publicized negotiations with Glacéau gave rapper 50 cent a minority stake in the beverage company.
This inveterate list maker also loved minutiae; in his copious account books, he kept track of every cent he ever spent.
It stayed at the top for three days, out-pacing tracks by Maroon 5, Kendrick Lamar, and 50 cent.
He knows every trick and conspires to use them all—he is a billionaire who spends every cent.
He doesn't know either that he can do more with a quarter than with a cent.
"Not a cent;" and Mr. Goodridge hurried Sim towards the hotel.
There's fellers 'ud hand over any sense they ever collected fer the dame that's had savvee to buy a fi' cent perfume.
We commenced sporting and gambling, and lost every cent of our money.
The Portuguese rei is used for copper money, worth about 1/8 of a cent.
late 14c., from Latin centum "hundred" (see hundred). Middle English meaning was "one hundred," but it shifted 17c. to "hundredth part" under influence of percent. Chosen in this sense in 1786 as a name for a U.S. currency unit by Continental Congress. The word first was suggested by Robert Morris in 1782 under a different currency plan. Before the cent, Revolutionary and colonial dollars were reckoned in ninetieths, based on the exchange rate of Pennsylvania money and Spanish coin.

Overdue materials and unpaid fees may also result in a hold bing placed on your University account, which would prevent you from obtaining grades, registering for classes, etc. Please contact the Library for details regarding fees and their payment.

Dog Bites/Animal Attacks
According to State Farm Insurance, dog bite victims suffer over $1 billion in monetary losses every year. If you believe you have suffered economic harm as a result of a dog bite, contact the experienced attorneys of Carabin & Shaw today.Dog and Animal Attacks in Texas - An Overview
Every year, millions of Americans are bitten by animals. In fact, in 1994, over 4.7 million people were bitten by dogs alone. In many cases, a person bitten by a dog may have a legal right to recover damages from the animal's owner or another responsible party.If You are Bitten by a Dog or Domestic Animal
The first thing you should do if you are bitten by a dog is to seek medical attention immediately and call our law firm. If you are not treated, a dog bite can cause serious injury and even death. Once you have been medically evaluated, you should also consider consulting with a lawyer experienced in animal bite cases. Our law firm will be able to tell you whether you have a legal claim, and what damages you may be able to recover.
An attorney will ask you for detailed information about the circumstances surrounding your animal bite. At a minimum, you should provide the name and phone number of the animal's owner. If you don't have this information, a neighbor or a witness might be able to provide it to you. Also, if there were witnesses, you should get their names and contact information as well.

|Playing @ the Plaza - Sue Scrofa
Event Type: Music
Age Group(s): Adults
Date: 11/14/2013
Start Time: 6:30 PM
End Time: 7:45 PM
Sue Scrofa started in the backwoods of Alabama when Alyssa Crisswell broke out some of her dad�s old recording equipment and made the lo-fi pop album Alabamulance. Sue Scrofa (the scientific name for her favorite animal, the pig) soon garnered more attention than expected, landing the young songstress on WERS Boston�s local music week, a spot as a semi-finalist on Prairie Home Companion�s Talented Twenties Competition, and a featured artist on Birmingham�s NPR station. She soon teamed up with Shane Jewell (guitar), Alan F. Rogers (drums), and Roxy Radulescu (bass) transforming the lo-fi solo project into a full out indie-pop band, which Under The Radar believes, �is vying to take their place along side Jenny Lewis/First Aid Kit royalty.� With their second album, White Cat, Sue Scrofa won The Deli Los Angeles� �Best Emerging Artist of 2011� reader�s poll and toured the West Coast. Now they are back in their hometown Birmingham, Alabama and will release their new EP this past June.Map

Lerianis - Saturday, July 03, 2010 - linkWhat about more 'high intensity' things like Crysis and Crysis:Warhead? I'm more worried about it being fast enough to take on the 'future' games for at least a good 3 years, considering the cost of the computer. Reply
DanNeely - Saturday, July 03, 2010 - linkI don't think 3 years is ever going to be a realistic option with a budget gaming laptop. Roughly speaking the 335 is at the same level as the 8600 was back in 08. Even on a low res monitor an 8600 is going to struggle to turn any eye candy on today. Reply

JarredWalton - Saturday, July 03, 2010 - linkSony has been very difficult to get hardware from for the past several years. The V series has a faster CPU, but the 330M is 48 SPs compared to 72 SPs on the 335M, so it would be slower in GPU tasks (as long as the i5/i7 ULV parts aren't a bottleneck). In terms of size, the M11x is pretty much a 13" chassis already, so the two are about the same there. Sony does manage to put in an optical drive to sweeten the deal. Still, it's almost twice the price of the original M11x, and $600-$750 more than the R2. Reply
Baron Fel - Saturday, July 03, 2010 - linkits also much thinner and lighter, and has a better higher res display. With even a 1080p option. A lot of the cost is probably it coming with an SSD standard. Reply
Roland00 - Saturday, July 03, 2010 - linkThe 330m may have 48 SP but these SP are clocked at 575 mhz core, and 1265 mhz shader
The 335m has 72 SP but these SP are clocked at 450 mhz core, and 1080 mhz shader
Thus the difference between the two are not 50% but closer to 15-20% Reply
TrptJim - Sunday, July 04, 2010 - linkI may be incorrect on this, but doesn't the Vaio have a downclocked version of the 330m? Reply
synaesthetic - Monday, July 05, 2010 - linkAll Sony laptops have underclocked GPUs. Sony factory undervolts them to get better battery life figures. Reply
ARCHETECH - Saturday, July 03, 2010 - linkI think the processor would make a difference as the alienware just has ULV parts init and the Z does not. The Z looks hundred times better than the alienware and is much thinner and lighter. You could also overclock the GPU to get more out of it. Reply
synaesthetic - Monday, July 05, 2010 - linkYou can put the 330M back to *stock* clocks without much trouble, but I have heard of lots of heat issues with trying to OC the 330M in the Vaio Z. Also you must remember that Sony undervolts all its discrete GPUs so that gives you less OC room to play with. Reply
Johnmcl7 - Saturday, July 03, 2010 - linkSimilarly I'd like to see a review of it as the spec is absolutely jaw dropping, particularly looking at the quad SSDs and the dual graphics cards - it's something that AT tends to do well but instead I've just been doing a lot of forum reading on this.
I was all set for a Z11 but couldn't get the quad SSD model here at all and now the Z12 is out, prices are up and spec is down - I could stomach £2,200 for the i7 quad SSD model as I know I'll get a lot of use out of it but the same spec Z12 is now coming in at £2,700 which is just too much. Reply
aferox - Monday, July 05, 2010 - linkI've had a Vaio VPC-Z11KGX/X for a couple of months now, and would certainly highly recommend it. Expensive, but fast and very light. The SSDs are amazing. It will play Fallout 3, for example, smoothly with fairly high settings. I don't play much in the way of shooters, so can't write about graphics-heavy games. I regularly run genetic statistics programs on it. It feels solid - definite aura of quality. Weight is a big factor for me. I sometimes walk to work and back (a fair distance), and an extra pound or two can add up. Having the optical drive in the laptop is a big plus, since it is one less "extra." Many ultralights can kill you weight-wise when you add external drives etc. I'd say this is the most exciting laptop I've had in the last 10 years, and I would also be interested in a review. Reply
dumpsterj - Saturday, July 03, 2010 - linkordered mine the 28th , ships the 8th of this month or so. not a single good review of this new revision out yet, Make yours the first !!! I cant wait lol. I think its smaller than that ocz mousepad i won. Reply
buzznut - Saturday, July 03, 2010 - linkI agree, I have been waiting for reviews of the new revision. I am getting one for fall and getting rid of my 15 inch beast. I am torn as I would rather not pay the extra for minimal performance boost, however I've heard the i5 and i7 were faster and actually better for battery life. Improved battery life would be a big seller for me.
I think I would be inclined to go for the i5 to save a few dollars.
I'm hoping by sept prices will fall a bit. If the i5/i7 show reasonable enough improvement, I am sure I can convince my wife!
Thanks for doing the article, I am sure there are many others that will appreciate the full review on this very hot product.
My question is that on the alienware site, they list the m11x as having vga, display port and hdmi out. For the i5/i7 machines, they don't list the vga port, just the other two. May not seem like a big deal but every classroom I have been in on campus takes vga, and i will certainly be doing a number of presentations. I'd rather not have to carry around a dongle that I will most likely lose! (the day of the presentation seems a sure bet) Reply
JarredWalton - Saturday, July 03, 2010 - linkYou are correct: there's no VGA port on the M11x R2 -- you can see it in the image gallery. Why they dropped that I couldn't say. There also was no HDMI->VGA dongle in the package (or DP->VGA), so you'd have to buy your own. If you need VGA, that's a bit of a bummer. Hopefully, more projectors will start including HDMI and make this a non-issue down the road; I'd really like to see VGA go away now. Reply
Lerianis - Saturday, July 03, 2010 - linkYeah, VGA is really a dinosaur tech that shouldn't even be included on new laptops anymore. I mean, all the computers I have bought in the past 3 years have had a HDMI connector on the graphics card on them, unless they were bargain basement laptops that I got for a 'school computer'. Reply
buzznut - Monday, July 05, 2010 - linkPerhaps it is getting a bit long in the tooth, but I'm sure you know VGA is still widely used. There are 20,000 students at Metro and 40,000 total on auraria campus. I have been in most of the buildings and VGA is still used in all the classrooms. I've never seen dvi, and my guess is half the staff have no idea what HDMI is.
I think you can see where there is still a need for vga outputs on devices.. Reply
jfmeister - Saturday, July 03, 2010 - linkI was one of those who was waiting for the refresh to come. Most of all features were updated, except 2 that I consider important; still no DirectX11 GPU and LCD needs improvement. It's been a year that DirectX 11 GPU are available; I would have expected Alienware to give the opportunity to select another GPU than the same old same old 335M. At the price they are selling the R2, I would like my investement to last a bit longer.
Thanks to the incredibly bad Dell French customer service (called them 3 times to buy an M11x R2 and each time I was told they would call me back, to then find out that they never took my order) I now find myself waiting again for at least a Dx11 GPU and in the mean time, while 11.6 inch for World of Warcraft on the road seems a bit small, I will keep an eye on a possible 13 inch model from Alienware, using the same chassis as the M11x. Reply
Lerianis - Saturday, July 03, 2010 - linkNEVER call to do an order with any company with an online ordering thing. Just do it online, make meticulous records (including a printout of the final 'before click to buy' window with all of the specs of your computer), and don't bother with phone support. Reply
san1s - Saturday, July 03, 2010 - linkwhy do you want to wait for a dx11 gpu, any laptop gpu that has low enough power consumption and heat for the m11x won't have any decent current dx11 performance, let alone games in the future Reply
erple2 - Tuesday, July 06, 2010 - linkSince there were no NVidia DX11 parts available when the M11x refresh happened, I'm not at all surprised. Based on the power draw and heating capability of current gtx400 based cards, I also doubt that even just a cooling system would fit in a sub 15" chassis (or at least could be classified as "gaming"). I wouldn't be waiting for that any time soon.
Optimus would require at least 3 major chips - GPU, CPU and southbridge chip... And I don't think that there's enough space for that in a "11 inch" notebook. I think that was the same reasoning why they didn't put that in the 13" MBP refresh (Still using Core2Duo with integrated NVidia 320m chip - that's only 2 chips) Reply
zefyr - Saturday, July 03, 2010 - linkCorrect me if I'm wrong, but should the HP Envy 14 that has just been released be more powerful w ATI Radeon HD 5650 graphics. I am extremely interested in this category. I've been putting off getting a laptop for a long time thinking someone will soon be able to give gaming level performance in a light (and hopefully aesthetically appealing) package. I feel like the Macbook Pros really set up the concept of this category. Asus has made some good efforts w thier culvs. Sonys Zs and even Lenovo has a Z series coming soon that might hit the mark. Hoping to have my cake and eat it too. Love to hear about other laptops that are 11 - 14", close to 4 pounds and have enough graphics power (and screen quality too match....which always seems to be the rub) that you can game, work or whatever. Personally, id like it to have backlit keys too. Maybe this alienware is finally what im looking for. Wish it was just a tad bigger. Reply
Lerianis - Saturday, July 03, 2010 - linkWe have had 'light' laptops with gaming class performance for awhile. It all depends on your definition of 'light'. My Gateway P-7811FX computer is 'light enough' for me to take it nearly everywhere I wish to go, including to West Virginia. Reply
n0nsense - Saturday, July 03, 2010 - linkIt is almost there.
But few thing that mus be fixed before i can buy one.
It should be thinner. VIAO Z is the fine example of what size and weight Laptop should be.
It should have higher resolution display. Again VIAO Z is an example with minimum 1600x900 for 13".
As VIAO Z it also should have place for 2 HDD/SSD.
It should have some NVIDIA DX11 GPU (no offense, but ATI is useless under Linux and I use it for all but some games.)
If they fix all these flaws and make it convertible tablet with multi-touch screen within 3 (ok, 4) pounds, i'll be very ready to pay 2000$ or something like that. Reply
Nomgle - Tuesday, July 06, 2010 - linkI'm not quite sure why you think any of those things are coming to the 11.6" $900 class ?
If you've got a $2000 budget, then buy the VAIO Z ! Reply
Shmutt - Saturday, July 03, 2010 - linkDell just delivered my order last week! Been enjoying it ever since. ^_^
The Core-i7 version does not Nvidia Optimus as there is no Inel integrated gfx. So I opted to get the core-i5, since it will have slightly better batt life while not gaming. Reply
xxtypersxx - Saturday, July 03, 2010 - linkIts not the same core i7 you're thinking of, this does has integrated graphics. Its similar to how GPU providers give much weaker mobile products the same name as their flagship desktop parts.
To everyone asking for a higher resolution display, you have to keep the gaming focus of this machine in mind. If it came with a 1600X900 lcd, the 335m would suddenly be much less potent at the machine's native resolution. I would personally rather have the goodies turned up at native lcd res than to have a low fidelity high res gaming experience or have to deal with LCD interpolation. Reply
PortendingEnnui - Saturday, July 03, 2010 - linkI love mine so far
I have been unable to find any way to support Optimus in Linux however, which is a nuisance
I plan to upgrade to an SSD eventually (Q3 releases?), but decided to save the cash for now and stick with the 250gb HDD

Kravz - Saturday, July 03, 2010 - linkUsing Dell EPP and various discounts I was able to get an R2 with the I-7 640um (which does support Optimus), 160Gb HDD (will be swapping with Momentus XT), and 4Gb of ram for around $1000.

Processor - 5.7
Memory - 5.7
Graphics (Aero): 3.5 (probably using intel gfx)

I have yet to overclock it yet. The Soft-Touch Stealth Black has a nice feel to it and the computer overall feels sturdy. I'm not going to comment on the hinges for at least a month or two though. Overall I'm very happy with my buy. It has ran all of the games I have thrown at it well. Reply
Computer Bottleneck - Saturday, July 03, 2010 - linkThanks for the preview.
Can someone explain how the Turbo mode on the i7-640um works?
How many cores for that 2.26 Ghz frequency? For how long?
Thanks. I couldn't really glean the information looking at the Intel spec sheet--->http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=47700 Reply
JarredWalton - Sunday, July 04, 2010 - linkIn my testing, it looks like single-threaded tasks will run at anywhere from 1.86GHz to 2.26GHz, with 2.00GHz and 2.13GHz steps in between. Further details:
Cinebench 1CPU usually is at 1.86GHz with periodic blips at 2.26GHz (nothing in between). Cinebench xCPU also stayed at 1.86GHz, though, which is much better than the old CULV M11x (even when overclocked).
Peacekeeper (a single-threaded task) was generally at 2.0/2.13GHz, but it fluctuated from 1.86GHz to 2.26GHz.
x264 encoding was more stressful in terms of limiting Turbo Modes, with the multiplier ranging from 11x (1.33GHz) to 16x (2.00GHz) for the first pass and 11X (1.33GHz) up to 14x (1.86GHz) for the second pass. Average seemed to be around 1.86GHz for pass one and 1.73GHz on pass two, but both fluctuated quite a bit. It's not clear if current draw is the limiting factor or heat, but in general you'll get at least the equivalent of a 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo. That's fast enough to feed the GT 335M quite well. Reply
Computer Bottleneck - Sunday, July 04, 2010 - linkThanks for the information. It is interesting you mentioned current draw vs heat.
I am still trying to learn this myself, but it appears i7-640LM is capable of 16x stock multiplier with a 22x multiplier for Turbo. However, it only uses 7 more watts than the i7-640um.
That seems like a pretty large difference in performance between a 25 watt CPU and a 18 watt CPU.
Hmmm.....so maybe heat is involved to a degree? (The Anandtech arrandale article mentioned this back in January). Reply
aarondeep - Sunday, July 04, 2010 - linkWhen searching for gaming laptops I have been a bit surprised that there are no offerings with available docking stations. I know I may be a minority here but these machines are designed to be desktop replacements, with the M11x being a very portable one. Not a single alienware laptop is available with an optional docking port. I know this is a business feature but it wold be nice to make these machines the ultimate desktop replacements. Reply
erple2 - Tuesday, July 06, 2010 - linkI used to think that a Docking Station was a waste of money. And I suppose you could make the case that you save money by not having it since there's "nothing" you can do without the docking station that you can't really do without it. However, I started using one for work and home (they gave me a second docking station for home use), and I love the thing. Push it down into the docking station and instant Ethernet, secondary monitor, power, mouse all ready to go (I really like the keyboard on my Elitebook). One click, and the laptop pops off, ready to go somewhere else. I also like that I don't have to wrap up the power cable to take my laptop anywhere - it's always in my bag.
Unfortunately, it seems you have to get a business class notebook to get, IMO, one of the best optional features that I've ever used in a laptop.
It's enough to make me want to think about getting something like an Elitebook or Thinkpad. If only they were cheaper, or my company discount included customizeable models for each rather than fixed models... Reply
frozentundra123456 - Sunday, July 04, 2010 - linkSorry, I know most everyone and the reviewers all seem to love this laptop. However, to me it is just too expensive for the performance and for such a small screen. An 11 inch screen might be OK for casual gaming, but for real PC games?????
For 1199.00 you can get an Asus from Best Buy with a HD5870M and a quad core CPU and a much better screen. This machine is only slightly less expensive.
I like the switchable graphics and long battery life, but at the price of this system, I would prefer a larger laptop. A lot of people on some of the earlier laptop reviews criticized the fact that the "gaming experience" is not that good on a laptop. Now a machine with an even smaller screen is suddenly the coolest thing going. I dont mean to offend anyone who has bought this machine, but I just dont get it. Reply
bobjones32 - Monday, July 05, 2010 - linkPeople in the real world who need to bring their computer around with them value quality battery life and portability. That's the key point you're missing.
Do you think anyone is actually oblivious to the fact that the m11x doesn't perform as well as other behemoths of the same price? That's the point. That $1200 Asus with a 5870 is massive, a tremendous pain in the ass for people who actually need to carry it around with them (you know, the "lap" part of "laptop), and it probably has extremely shitty battery life to boot.
The m11x will run more than twice as long on battery than that Asus will do while just browsing the web with the brightness turned all the way down.
The only offensive thing here is your myopic view of what people want out of a portable gaming laptop. The m11x is more than capable of running every game on the planet, which is an amazing, pretty much revolutionary feat for such a small machine with such great battery life. Reply
bobjones32 - Monday, July 05, 2010 - linkI meant to say:
"The m11x will run more than twice as long on battery *while playing a demanding game* than that Asus will do while just browsing the web with the brightness turned all the way down."
Browsing the web, the m11x will easily get 3-4x the battery life of that Asus. Reply
frozentundra123456 - Tuesday, July 06, 2010 - linkThe point is not that it will run the games with great battery life and portability. I realize that, and it is an impressive technical feat. I guess I cant really say without trying it out, but I still dont understand wanting to game on an 11 inch screen. Reply
someone0 - Sunday, July 04, 2010 - linkI got it, and now returning it. Prior to ordering this, I looked at the online manual and it said it's gigabit ethernet. But I got it, it doesn't. And I need gigabit, so a fair warning to whoever want the M11xR2. And BTW, Dell made a similar mistake on Vostro3300 also. The website was originally listed as 1920x1080, which just changed a few days ago to correct resolution 1366x768. I wouldn't rely on correct info from Dell right now. Reply

Mine has locked up on me at least once a day since i've had it. Have you guys noticed anything like this with your review unit? I've updated the drivers, but haven't given alienware a call yet. Just wondering if mine is an anomoly or if others have noticed this problem too. Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, July 05, 2010 - linkYes. There's a utility called Dell Wireless Tray or some such that has a massive memory leak. I used ProcessExplorer at one point and it said it was using 500MB+, but when I killed the process I went from 3.3GB of memory used down to 800MB. I used MSConfig.exe to disable that particular service/startup item and that fixed the problems I experienced. Reply
iamlilysdad - Monday, July 05, 2010 - linkAwesome. Well not the problem, but that u experienced it and found the fix. I will try that when i get home. Thank you very much for the information. I'm not saavy enough to figure out the problem but i do know about msconfig. Reply
iamlilysdad - Wednesday, July 07, 2010 - linkWell it hasn't locked up near as much (once since I stopped the Dell service from running), but when i leave the laptop on and close the screen it will stay off when i open it again. It takes a hard reset to get it turn back on. I will have to get on the phone will Alienware to figure out the issue. It's really annoying to not be able to leave my laptop on when it's plugged in.

Staking out the UPS man in NYC Reply
Thermogenic - Tuesday, July 06, 2010 - linkI've followed this release closely, and many on the forums have had lots of problems. The two most common I've seen that are unique to the R2 are:
1) Significantly lower battery life (8hrs for R1 vs 6hrs for R2)
2) Optimus issues
To a lesser degree, there seem to be heat issues as well, namely that the GPU will get overheated and go into a low power (i.e. performance killing) state to save itself.
The Optimus issues will likely work themselves out over time, but I think if you are more interested in the battery life, the R1 is the much more attractive option. Gaming performance will be better on the R2, but it's in the 5-10% range for most games (higher for CPU bound games). Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, July 06, 2010 - linkI haven't had any driver issues with the update... the bigger problem is the Dell Wireless Tray icon going nuts and sucking up memory! But that's easy enough to kill off and I haven't had problems testing since doing so. As for battery life, I measured 7.3 hours idle and 6.3 hours Internet. In the same tests, the original M11x managed nearly 9 hours idle and 7.1 hours Internet.
As for performance, application performance is generally around 10-20% better, but gaming performance is largely a wash. Out of the tested games, only DiRT 2 shows a noticeable improvement (around 20%). Other titles like Empire: Total War are even a bit slower on the R2, though it's not enough to concern me. The driver differences might explain some of the changes, since I've seen plenty of games where performance dropped over time on NVIDIA drivers. Remember that the release drivers are often the best optimized, since the manufacturers are actively working on making things work. After that, mostly it seems like the reference drivers from ATI/NVIDIA focus on validation for laptops, so there are times when a valid optimization gets removed.
Anyway, full review coming in the next day or two... Reply
Thermogenic - Tuesday, July 06, 2010 - linkLook forward to the full review. Also, if u keep one for personal use, the best after market investment I've found has been the Green Onions "screen protector" that Dell offers (available elsewhere for about $10 less). It helps immensely with the ultra glossy glare that normally makes the laptop unusable in less than ideal lighting. Reply
iamlilysdad - Wednesday, July 07, 2010 - linkAny issues with the screen not coming back to life when you close the laptop and leave it sitting for an hour or two? Can't figure why mine doesn't come back on at all EVERY TIME I DO THIS. I've tried every pre configured power management setting in the Alienware control panel and it does this for all of them. I really really wanna be able to highly recommend this laptop but this little issue (the dell wireless memory leak is easily fixed) is stopping me from doing so. Reply
Thermogenic - Wednesday, July 07, 2010 - linkOn my R1, it's not the fastest at resuming from standby, but it does after about 5 seconds or so. You might want to give Dell a call. Reply
iamlilysdad - Wednesday, July 07, 2010 - linkI will have to do that for sure. I can do whatever I want and the screen will not turn back on. CTRL+ALT+DEL does nothing. Pushing a key on the keyboard does nothing. Pushing the power button does nothing. I'll give them a call on my next day off.
Thanks for the feedback. Reply

I know its 4 months and I should wait 6, but is a change going to be visible in 2 months more? Is it possible that it takes longer than 6 months?

This series is like playing Muv Luv Alternative when you already know the ending.
Them feels.
And I can never get tired of reading the praises you guys give my summaries. If only because it confirms that I'm heading in the right direction with my summaries.
More importantly though it confirms my greatness
Ahem, yeah.
But in all seriousness tell me if you guys ever feel I'm off tangent with my summaries
Although rereading volume 1 now, I would say Enju's about even with Kisara if only because of how much the author foreshadows the two ending up together.
Now then. The epilogue part 1.
Separated it into two parts because it was getting too long.
Well this was a pain in the ass to summarize.
More so than any other section.
Because the vital details here are extremely hard to decipher.
I'll be honest, take a lot of things (specifically Rentaro's conversation with Seitenshi) here with a grain of salt.
Thankfully after this it's either the short story or volume 2 both of which are a lot easier to understand then this.
Spoiler for volume 1 epilogue part 1:

As for Rentaro, @Log, earlier when you generously revealed Rentaro's specs you mentioned that he possessed some sort of special ability he inherited from his family? Who said this and could this have anything to do with the fact that he took five doses of Sumire's special gastrea mix, which was not the doctor's prescription, and didn't turn into a gastrea? I know this is all fictional science, but I think we can safely assume that taking 5 doses of a drug would exponentially increase the already high risk of turning into a gastrea into a guarantee.
Also, a gastrea attack during his childhood left him spilling his guts, literally. The gastrea must have made physical contact and I'd think that he would have made contact with its bodily fluids. Yet he didn't turn into a gastrea?
The following are simply speculative:
If the Inheritance wasn't inside the box, then why would Seitenshi try to retrieve it? Even if it wasn't the real thing, it doesn't change the fact that a Stage 5 Gastrea was summoned.
BTW, update on chapter 1!

Rentaro- Nakamura Yuuchi mainly because he voiced Oreki from Hyouka and Rentaro is basically Oreki's long lost brother from another dimension.
Enju- The girl that voiced Index from To Aru is the best one I can think of at the moment.
Kisara- Ayane Sakura the seiyuu of Yozora from Hagani. That slightly tomboyish would fit Kisara well and tsundere voice actor is tsundere voice actor.
Regarding volume 4, I don't really have any control of when I read it.
I'm in the same boat as the rest of you people who can't read Japanese in waiting for translators to update, albeit in my case the translators started earlier and are faster.
Currently the translator for Black Bullet hasn't updated in around 5 months. He's likely waiting for the translator of volume 3 to finish. And volume 3's translator is going at a slow pace. Around 1 part per 3 weeks. He's currently almost done with volume 3 chapter 1 (done with part 8 of chapter 1 recently).
So give or take 5 months and I might be able to continue volume 4. That's if the status quo keeps up of course.
Spoiler for some spoilers:
And finally finishing off volume 1.
Can't say the last part is to hard to do.
Spoiler for volume 1 epilogue part 2 aka volume 1 is finished:
Spoiler for eh:

And also I have a question to ask you.
Do you know the romaji version of the names of Rentaro's parents?
Just calling them "parents" or "Rentaro's parents" feels awkward because they have given names.
I can't find their Japanese names to insert into romaji translator however.
And I doubt a Chinese translation would be accurate.

I don't remember their names though, and I'm busy with a buttload of series at this point so I'll have to pass on the summaries. : ( You're clearly the man for the job for this one.
Still, I'll dig around for his parents' names, so if I see anything, I'll post it up!

Spoiler for spoiler:
And no the reason isn't explained although there are theories.
And time for Volume 2 prologue.
Some things to note.
I run into naming problems again.
The three new characters in volume 2 prologue unfortunately aren't important enough, to have their Japanese names displayed anywhere where I can found it.
So no Japanese name=no romaji.
So me being lazy just put their Chinese names into Google translate
The guy=Chang Hong (lol, Google translator can't even give me a English name).
The girl=Julian (Google translate gave me an actual name. What madness is this)
The cruel promoter= Haga (I'll laugh if Google translate is actually right)
I'll edit it out latter if someone gives me the romaji for these three characters.
The other thing to note is that apparently the guy is a least in high school and the girl who's a cursed children is only younger than him by 3 years.
Which doesn't seem right, because the cursed children are 10 years old at most.
The Chinese translator likely either goofed with the guys grade or goofed with the age difference.
Or I goofed and can't read.
It's pretty minor things through and through. And I probably wrote too much at this point.
Now then onto volume 2 prologue.
Spoiler for volume 2 prologue:

No. 12 Amherst Downs Berea at Bahama House Classic
January 2, 2002
Fitzsimons paced four Amherst players in double figures, including first-year forward Andrew Schiel (Abbington, PA), who finished with 13 points and seven rebounds. Sophomore sharpshooter John Kloepfer (Buffalo, NY) added a career-high 13 points in just 13 minutes off the bench, while junior tri-captain forward Steve Zieja (Hadley, MA) rounded out Amherst's top scorers with 12 points on 4-for-7 shooting.
The Jeffs led wire-to-wire as Fitzsimons and Zieja scored 12 of the team's first 14 points to ignite a 34-14 Amherst run over the first 13 minutes. Berea battled back, however, and cut the lead to 13 points (32-45) at the break on a three pointer by Jon Haston.
After Berea's Andrew Cash opened the second half with a jumper to bring the Mountaineers within 11, the Jeffs countered with a pair of layups by Fitzsimons and a three-pointer by senior tri-captain Pat Taverna (Whitesboro, NY) to extend the lead back to 18. It was all Amherst from there as Kloepfer's third three-pointer gave the Jeffs their largest lead, 77-49, with 6:21 left in regulation.
Berea managed to close the game with a 10-0 run as Amherst head coach David Hixon emptied his bench in the waning minutes, but it was too little, too late for the Mountaineers, who fell to 5-9 with the loss.
Amherst improved to 7-2 with the victory, rebounding from a 93-86 loss to tournament host Embry-Riddle on Tuesday. The Jeffs return to action on Wednesday, January 9, at 7 p.m. against visiting non-league foe Colby-Sawyer.
