Man mountain Willie Mason is considering leaving the Knights at the end of the season to lower the curtain on his colourful, controversial career at another NRL club.
The former NSW and Australian game-breaker will turn 35 in April and is keen to play for one more season, but the Knights are yet to make him an offer because management is waiting to appoint a new head coach before finalising retention and recruitment for next year.
Mason's manager, Sam Ayoub, told the Newcastle Herald on THursday that he had spoken to two other NRL clubs about the larger-than-life front-rower, but was still waiting for the Knights to indicate whether they were interested in retaining him.
''Yes, Willie be playing again next year, and we're in negotiations with two clubs about that as we speak," Ayoub said. "We're still waiting to hear where the Knights are at in regards to Willie, and I'll leave it at that for now.''
A Macquarie Scorpions and Hunter Mariners junior, Mason has racked up 268 NRL games for the Knights, Cowboys, Roosters and Bulldogs in a 15-year career that includes 24 Tests for Australia and 13 State of Origin appearances for NSW.
The 2004 Clive Churchill medallist is reportedly considering following departing coach Wayne Bennett to Brisbane, but Ayoub would not reveal which other clubs were in the running.
Bennett threw Mason a career lifeline midway through 2012 after his brief, unsuccessful stints with English Super League strugglers Hull Kingston Rovers and French rugby union club Toulon the previous year.
Including 17 games this season, Mason has made 56 appearances for Newcastle and he told Fox Sports on Wednesday night that his preference was to finish his career in his home town.
''Yeah I'll definitely play next year,'' Mason said on the NRL 360 program.
''I'm just talking to a couple of clubs now, and hopefully Newcastle will get their act together because Newcastle's in a great place at the moment as a club.
''I know Newcastle's going in the right direction, and as soon as they name a coach, then everything will start happening, hopefully in the next week or two.
''Obviously if the Knights, they are keen at the moment, but if they want to go a different way, obviously there's some offers out there at the moment.
''I can change, I've played for five different clubs, I'm not a one-club man like 'Mini' [retiring Roosters skipper Anthony Minichiello], so I've got no doubt that if Newcastle isn't the place for me then I'll go somewhere else.''
Knights chief executive Matt Gidley said Mason and other off-contract forwards such as Chris Houston and David Fa'alogo were aware of the club's plans to appoint a new head coach before engaging in retention negotiations.
''The vast majority of our squad for 2015 is already settled," Gidley said. "There are a few remaining players that we need to get to, and give them an indication of where their future may lie, and Willie is one of those.
''We've been as open as we can with all those guys, to say that as soon as we appoint a head coach, the first thing we'll do is go back to them and give them an indication of whether there's a future here for them in 2015 or not.
''We've got a few spots to fill, and I need to be guided by the head coach, because it's going to be his decision in the end as to what he wants to do and who he wants to sign for 2015.''
Mason said who replaces Bennett was a critical factor but he would have ''no problem'' playing under Rick Stone, Bennett's likely successor.
''Imagine if a coach comes in and just hates me. That'd be unreal,'' Mason said.
''I'm in a pretty good position at the moment, where I'm playing pretty good football and the coach is a massive, massive point for me. I've got no problem with Rick Stone. He's been there for three years, he was the coach before, and I think the Newcastle people believe in him.''

Created matter filling the void of SpaceTime condition: iLIVE
The consideration of the Big Bang occurring at a single point is that of its one-dimensional condition in SpaceTime; i.e. existence had yet to unfold upon the notion of its traditional fourth-dimensional condition.
In other words, the traditional fourth-dimensional SpaceTime condition always existed and our created matter is just filling the void.
Per the hypothesis, "The galaxy — or mini-galaxy, as NASA is calling it — is thought to have been just 100 million to 200 million years old when its light began the 13.2 billion light-year journey to Hubble's lens."
As I see it, the current SpaceTime distance and its relevance to a creation time per the Big Bang do not necessarily map along this logic.
After existence unfolded into its traditional fourth-dimensional condition (everywhere at the same time), matter began to evolve/ form into larger conglomerations based on the uneven distribution of matter.
Whenever and wherever this farthest galaxy formed, relevant to our SpaceTime position, it has been traveling away from us consistently with the accelerating environment of our universal inflation/ expansion.
The fact that it can be detected at a distance of 13.2 billion light-years from us is a reference that the light-emitting objects within the galaxy were shining at this time of its distance from us.
In other words – as a purely hypothetical example – it may have been formed some six billion years ago (at a considered time of seven billion to eight billion years after the Big Bang) at a distance of 10 billion light years from us and continued to emit light while it was accelerating away from us.
So from our perspective, two billion years ago we might have detected its light at a distance of 10 billion light years from us.
Now we are detecting this light at a distance of 13.2 light-years because we have been moving apart from each other.
So the distance to this farthest galaxy does not tell us when the galaxy was formed relative to the event of the Big Bang; for it this were the case, we would have to come up with a theory in which fourth-dimensional SpaceTime was expanding relative to its unfolding from a single dimensional condition.

Zoe Saldana Gives Update on AVATAR Sequels
If you're looking for any new story information on James Cameron's upcoming Avatar sequels, you might as well go digging in your backyard for unobtainium. Cameron's follow ups to the highest grossing movie of all time are still shrouded in secrecy, but star Zoe Saldana was able to offer a small update on where the writer-director is on his scripts and the approximate time it will take them to shoot the three sequels back-to-back.
While promoting Guardians of the Galaxy, Saldana told the Daily Mirror:
"James Cameron is still working on the final drafts of the script and then everyone in the cast will get the call. We're going to be shooting mainly in Los Angeles and that will make things easier for me since I live there. Because we're doing the sequels back-to-back and it's going to take at least eight or nine months or more to finish the (three) films."
Considering that much of the filming will take place on motion-capture stages, eight or nine months for three films actually seems longer than I would have imagined. Especially considering the fact that it only took Peter Jackson under a year and a half for principal photography for the Lord of The Rings trilogy, which was filmed on location in New Zealand — pick up shoots were done for each film, but that's still amazing. The Avatar sequels will also be shooting partially in New Zealand, and perhaps it's the underwater mo-cap sequences that have been talked about that will prove especially time consuming.
Along with Saldana, Sam Worthington, and Stephen Lang will be reprising their roles, with Sigourney Weaver also returning to the cast in a different role. Avatar 2 is slated for a December 2016 release, followed by Avatar 3 in December 2017, and Avatar 4 sometime in 2018.

Plumbing Questions? Ask a Plumber and Get Answers ASAP.
Welcome, my name is XXXXX XXXXX I will do my best to help with your issue
I would call Fergusons with the info. An email can get lost easily if you're not a regular customer
The other option would be to order the part direct from Kohler
Understand - do you know if Ferguson's has repair team on staff?
Was unable to find specific part of Kohler site -- tub is more than 10 years old.
Fergusons is a supply house. They don't offer repairs. Call Kohler 1-800-4KOHLER. If the part is available they will know
Challenges is that problem kind of bridges steeping tub/whirlpool plumbing situation and what may better be served by an electrician. Does that seem like appropriate route if Kohler's 800# XXXXX locate part?
An electrician can handle this repair if all you need is the control replaced.
What I needed to know. Will work to track part via Ferguson's or Kholer direct. If they don't have factory part, hopefully they'll identify a compatible alternative. Any suggestions on things I should be cautious/leery of when approaching repair of such a dated piece of equipment?
Only who does the repair. An electrician is probably better suited than most plumbers since this is an electrical issue. He could also track down other control/electrical issues that might pop up
Makes sense. Thanks much for your time and guidance, I really appreciate your input. Hope you have a good day.

I've just returned to San Francisco after an amazing five days at the MLS league office in New York City working with the Digital team on social media strategy, and I can't contain my excitement!
With a Commissioner who's enthusiastic about social media to both build and engage the soccer community, a digital department that's forward-thinking and ambitious, and a league office staff that's ready to take social media integration to the next level, I'm lucky to have this unique opportunity to really make a difference in the way people engage with our amazing sport (and those who play, coach, manage and build it too!).
In my best attempt to stay true to the advice I generally give to others, the first thing I'm doing is listening, listening, listening. My boss, MLS Director of Digital Strategy Chris Schlosser, and I met with executives across the league all last week to learn what each of their departments do, how they've used social media in the past and what cool and creative ideas they have in the works. I met with MLSsoccer.com editors, writers and videographers to learn who, how, what, when, where and why they publish content. The Digital team even shared a slice with the Commissioner himself. Many more meetings will follow but I'm starting to get a good sense for the present landscape.
While there's a lot of work to be done, one thing's for certain. Social media is part of the fabric of sports, and it's here to stay. I'm humbled be a part of the growth and development of social media at Major League Soccer, and I'm looking for thoughts, feedback and suggestions from Tweeters, bloggers, Facebookers, journalists, website-readers, employees, executives and fans alike. Always feel free to pop a comment below, send me an email, or Tweet me @vandey01.
In the meantime, here are a few photos from my first week in the office:
MLS Director of Digital Strategy Chris Schlosser and me at the office.
Chris Bettin showing me the Drupal ropes.
Greg Lalas generally just being cool as always.
The Extra Time podcast being recorded before my very eyes.
Commissioner Don Garber checking out the Digital office space with Chris Schlosser and Chris Bettin. That's Turchese d'Andrea in the foreground at her computer.
Judy Concha showing me more of the Drupal ropes. (There's a lot of ropes)
What an awesome office space we have!

Playing with the clipboard in iOS safari
So the other day it hit me that since iOS safari supports contenteditbale it should surely have support the clipboard events and other handy bits and pieces.

addEventListener, handleEvent and passing objects
Here's a super awesome trick I had no idea about until someone pointed out you could do this.
addEventListener can take an object as a second argument that will look for a method called
handleEvent and call it! No need for binding "this" so it will pass around the context correctly, the context is the object you've just set as the event listener callback. Continue reading "addEventListener, handleEvent and passing objects"

Handling high resolution sprite images with CSS3
The iPhone 4 has introduced a new challenge to web developers due to its retina display using a higher dpi than most devices. What looked sharp in desktop browsers and other lower dpi devices appears blurry and pixelated on the iPhone 4 and potentially other devices which will have higher dpi screens. The current solution is to have two sets of images one for general and one for high dpi screens. You then switch it up using media queries depending on the screens dpi, this has been documented and discussed many times. Let's try a different approach.

I scope, you scope, we all scope for NoScope! JS style element injection quirks in IE
The other day I was writing some updates and improvements for Modernizr, one to detect for generated content support and two to improve stylesheet and element injection. Modernizr already in a few places inserts a stylesheet and a corresponding element to do some tests e.g.
css3transforms and a few others. All this happened multiple times; each test would inject an element and an inline style element, do its test then remove both elements. All this happens while the page is loading and as you can see the more tests that involve these steps exponentially grow the number of times it needs to touch the DOM.

I'll have the DOMFileSystem with a side of read/write access please…
Filesystem access has been a pipe dream for web developers for many years. With the ever evolving complexity of web apps and their need to potentially process large amounts of data, filesystem access is the next evolutionary step in order to push web apps to the next level. Thankfully, smart people have been thinking about these issues and defining new and useful specifications that fill those gaps. Eric Uhrhane of Google has been working on the working draft of the File API: Directories and System specification which defines a set of APIs to create a sandboxed filesystem where a web app can read and write data to.

Instead, I play around with a key metaphor for solving linear equations--the balance scale.
I've used the metaphor before, but only verbally alongside an algebraic representation. I would say things like, "What you do to one side, you must do to the other", or "What would we have to do to keep the scales balanced?" The whole time, I only referenced the metaphor; students were never required to work with it. In hindsight, this probably did little to help students with the abstract nature of variable quantities.
Now, I get students to encounter a balance problem, and talk me through their solution. They begin to talk about things like "splitting weight evenly" when two circles are balanced against a value of twenty. They tell me that I can ignore a shape that appears on both sides of a balanced set of scales. The explanations come from them, and they encounter them through the lens of their everyday.
The abstract will come. Until then, students encounter various principles of equations as different sets of scales are presented.
Below are nine sets of scales to introduce the notion of systems of equations. Teachers--and textbooks--talk about "real world" as a way to tether topics to students, but I have always had trouble finding a task that can make the conceptual leap from the situation (phone plans, car trips at different speeds, etc.) to the algebraic notation.
Instead of appealing to the students' surroundings, these scales are "real" in the sense that they appeal to their intuitions--their unavoidable tendency to organize, categorize, and achieve balance.
Each question consists of two sets of scales, and students must find the weights of the circle and square. The nine questions are divided into three sets with small variations included. The three are designed to be used as a single object (Watson & Mason, 2006). This is done with the hope that students will use these small shifts to build a better understanding of how the variables act on one another.
They are relatively simple to create. Obvious extensions include fractions of circles and squares as well as more "variables" (shapes). Any typical textbook exercise can be converted quite easily. Having these pairings (or having students create them) can be a powerful tool.
Set 1
Set 2
Set 3
Give them to students. Ask them to explain their thinking. All involved may be surprised by dormant algebraic thinking that just needs an intuitive trigger.

The brand new image features Bellatrix, while some previously seen posters now are presented without promoting 3-D release anymore.
A brand new character poster for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I" has popped out, featuring Bellatrix. This time, the former Azkaban prisoner is featured alone after she was pictured together with Lucius in an image.
Meanwhile, as "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I" has been announced to come out in just 2-D and IMAX theaters, Warner Bros. Pictures has re-released some posters which previously boasted 3-D experience. Those which are presented again with a change to the line include character posters of Harry, Ron, Hermione, Snape and Voldemort, as well as a poster featuring the three young wizards running in the woods.
In "Deathly Hallows: Part I", Harry, Ron and Hermione set out on their perilous mission to track down and destroy the secret to Voldemort's immortality and destruction - the Horcruxes - without the guidance of their professors or the protection of Professor Dumbledore. Meanwhile, they have to hide from Voldemort who hunts them.
This first part of the final installment of "Harry Potter" film series will hit both U.S. and U.K. theaters on November 19. The follow-up, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II", is still scheduled to arrive in 3-D theaters on July 15, 2011. David Yates serves behind the lens for both films.

Welcome to the WrapUp by CyberNet. This is a collection of news stories, downloads, and tips that we have collected over the last few days, but never got around to writing about. Don't forget to send in your own tips, or just leave a comment on this page if you think you've got something we should include.
I Want Sandy & Stikkit Close
Two popular online productivity applications, I Want Sandy and Stikkit, have announced that they will be shutting down soon. Both services are run by the same company and recently got acquired by Twitter. It was hinted that some of the technology would be integrated into Twitter later on.
Google Admits to Breaking App Store Terms
After a little searching around a group of individuals managed to find out that Google had used undocumented API's in their iPhone application, which is against Apple's SDK rules. There's been no word from Apple yet regarding whether Google will have to change how their program works.
eBay's Traffic Plummeting
According to some data eBay's traffic in the U.S. has been sharply dropping. In October 2007 they were receiving 13.5 million unique visitors, but in October 2008 they received just 9.1 million unique visitors. And it continues to drop from one month to another. Will eBay be able to come back?
Apple Finally Got Safari Right on the iPhone
Looks like I'm not the only one noticing a dramatically improved Safari browser on the iPhone 2.2 firmware. I used to see Safari crashes several times each day, but haven't had a single hiccup since the iPhone 2.2 firmware update. Yay!
Google Maps Updated
Google has updated their maps service with a refreshed interface, and spruced up the Street View a bit. Now when using Street View the imagery will take up the entire map area on the screen instead of being contained in a bubble. This is a dramatic improvement for anyone that uses the Street View regularly.
G1 Gets Visual Voicemail and Opera Mini
The T-Mobile G1 powered by Google's Android operating system now has two long awaited apps: visual voicemail and Opera Mini. The only downside is that the visual voicemail service is run by a third-party, but it is still free.
Watch Out for the New Digsby Installer
I've been a huge fan of the Digsby instant messenger client ever since it became available, and have managed to get dozens of friends, family, and co-workers using their software. Now, however, they are doing something I'm not all that fond of… asking users to install toolbars and other things during installation. I'll continue to recommend their software, but I'll be sure to warn people about the things it will try to install.

Biography | Literary Awards and Honors | Film Awards and Honors
I have a snapshot of myself at age four. I was holding brushes and standing in front of an easel, a freshly painted vase of flowers displayed there.
It seems my parents wanted an artist. I never thought I'd be anything else. I never dreamed I'd be an author. Writing stories and creating characters that spoke and had lives that seemed real was, to me, an amazing and mysterious ability.
I wanted to be a painter. When I finished art school I moved from Los Angeles, where I was born, to New York City, which I thought was the world capital of the arts. I loved New York. My paintings became multicolored plastic sculptures. To support my family, I designed and directed animated television commercials. I had always loved cartoons, especially Bugs Bunny, and I found I enjoyed making animated films. Even a thirty second commercial involved drawing and painting, as well as storytelling, not to mention actors, music and sound effects. In the mid 1960's I made some films of my own.
Meeting Elizabeth Levy in 1970 changed everything. She was a young writer who had written a mystery for children, and she invited me to illustrate it. The story was called, Something Queer is Going On. It became a series of books, and more than thirty years later, we are still doing them.
From the first, I loved the picture book medium. It was film and drawing and theater all in one. Encouraged by Liz Levy and a couple of editors, I began trying to write my own stories. I found that, for me, writing was a bit like gardening. I learned to plant ideas in my mind like seeds, and when they sprouted (if they sprouted), to cultivate them, nurture them, and help them grow. I never know what kind of fruit, vegetable, or flower a story will turn out to be. Sunflower or turnip? After writing on various projects for over ten years my first book turned out to be a duck.
Arnold of the Ducks was turned down by seven publishers until I finally got it to the right one, and I became an author.
I love making books. Each one seems to be, in some way, essentially different from the others, and each is a surprise to me. I think that making books, or any kind of art, might also be like mining. The artist digs into his or her life and imagination and never knows what they'll find. That's the adventure.

Along with writing and illustrating books for children, Mordicai Gerstein is a painter, sculptor, and prize-winning designer and director of animated films.
Born in Los Angeles, Gerstein attended the Chouinard Institute of Art before moving to New York City where he lived and worked for twenty-five years making animated films for television.
In 1971, Mordicai collaborated with author Elizabeth Levy to create the 'Something Queer is Going On' series of mystery books for Delacorte Press.
Gerstein began writing and illustrating his own books in 1980.
His books are wide-ranging in subject, style, and the age groups addressed, from contemporary fantasy and Biblical retellings, to biography and absurd alphabets, for preschoolers, high schoolers, and even adults.
Mordicai Gerstein lives in western Massachusetts with his wife, Susan Yard Harris, who is also an illustrator, and their daughter, Risa.

There are famous photos of Pope Pius XII and his canary.
Now for the pontifical spider.
There are famous photos of Pope Pius XII and his canary.
Now for the pontifical spider.
Slow news day, CNN?
I didn't understand why Msgr. Ganswein couldn't have come up and swatted it away!
This is probably one of the most positive Pope stories the mainstream media has done in years. We should rejoice – they even compared him favorably to Pres. Obama.
I am in awe. The Pope is a man of iron! A spider walked all over him, and he didn't even pay it any mind until it WALKED ON HIS FACE! And even then, he just brushed it off his face, and the spider lived!
But spiders are in the Bible, at least in Latin. They kinda get morphed into other languages in contemporary translations. Anyway, this older reference seems appropriate:
"The spider takes hold with her hands, and is in kings' palaces."
Pope tolerates spider. President Obama kills fly. Hmm…I wonder who is the real man of peace.
I had a decent sized spider come down on a web strand a short distance in front of me one time during adoration. Despite probably looking like some lunatic waving my hands in the air, I grabbed the strand, let the spider down to the ground, and, well,….if it was wondering if spiders can go to heaven, it knows for certain now….or not.
A few years ago a sister (religious sister) walked up near the altar during Mass and stomped on a huge spider that was making its way to the altar.
"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

Welcome to The Georgic, a Shawlands favourite
It's been known as The Georgic since 1945 and there was a pub on this site for many years before that, which means - apart from the addition of a lounge bar in the 1990s - things are kept nice and traditional in this busy hostelry in the heart of Shawlands. Popular with an older crowd, many of whom have been drinking here for years, The Georgic is an unpretentious community pub where you'll be given a friendly welcome, especially if you're a fan of horseracing and, on match days, football shown on the six televisions. There's a juke box and a games machine too.
Opening times
Mon-Sun: 11am-midnight
Working for Belhaven can be many things to many people – for some it may be a fun job in a stimulating environment with great colleagues, for others it may be more about a career with a respected employer who offers exciting prospects. Whatever you're looking for, we may have just the role to suit you. All our senior management team have a history of working behind bars long before moving into their current roles and indeed we run a bespoke course to help develop assistant managers into our managers of the future. So why not apply today? It might just be the best move you make!

Business Law
Ask a Business Lawyer. Get Business Law Questions Answered ASAP.
Hi, The Statute of Frauds requires collateral contracts, as well as those for the sale of real property or those which cannot be performed in less than one year's time, or those which are for something over a certain value, to be in writing to be enforceable. The reason is that such contracts need to be proven and a writing is the only clear method to absolutely prove their existence. Indeed, a collateral contract, one in which people engage in order to obtain another contract or to provide an assistance to another, and in which they may have no personal role, would be difficult to prove without a clear writing. This, however, is not needed where the leading object rule applies. The leading object rule indicates that a person who enters a collateral contract does, in fact, gain a personal benefit due to his or her collateral contract. The personal benefit, therefore, offers sufficient evidence of the contract and a writing, therefore, is not needed.

"Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement; then it becomes a mistress, and then it becomes a master, and then a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster, and fling him out to the public." — Winston Churchill

The U.S. Appeals Court for the District of Columbia Circuit has sided with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and its partial waiver approval for E15 ethanol fuel for model year 2001 and newer light duty vehicles and all flex fuel vehicles, according to the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA). This represents nearly two-thirds of all vehicles on the road and almost 75 percent of vehicle miles driven. The finding was announced Friday morning.
Since the initial waiver filing in March 2009, vehicles were tested using E15 for a combined six million miles, health effects data on E15 was collected and approved, and a first of its kind misfueling mitigation plan was required and approved in order for retailer to offer E15, according to RFA. At least one station in Lawrence, KS, is selling E15 under the conditions set by the partial waiver.
"Today's decision is an important step forward in the nation's quest to diversify our nation's fuel supply," said RFA President and CEO Bob Dinneen. "Adding an E15 option along side E10 and higher ethanol blends allows consumers to make the fuel decisions that work best for them and their vehicle.
The American Petroleum Institute (API) was disappointed by the Court's divided decision saying EPA approved E15 before vehicle testing was complete, and that the fuel may cause significant mechanical problems in millions of cars on the road today, according to an announcement from the group. "Today's court decision is a big loss for consumers, for safety and for our environment," said Bob Greco, API downstream group director.
Automobile manufacturers have told Congress that vehicle warranties will not cover damage due to E15, according to API.

The Really Great AbbyShot Blog!
AbbyShot in Tokyo Part 3!
So the Tokyo Anime Fair began well for AbbyShot. Employees Julia and Mark (your friendly blogger) were nearly overwhelmed on the first day by the sheer size of the event, but soon got into the TAF groove. The story continues on Day 2. If you want to skip the tale and head straight for the amazing pictures, check out our AbbyShot Picasa Web Album!
We entered the second Business Day of the Tokyo Anime Fair and we were excited. All the information that left us nearly shell-shocked on Day One had now sunken in and we were ready to take on Japan! Next to AbbyShot, Godzilla was going to feel like someone's pet newt. You could say we were hitting our stride.
Now is as good a time as any to introduce you to the full AbbyShot booth crew!
On the far left, sporting a rugged AbbyShot Mad Max Jacket, was our good friend Gerard from the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters (CME) who are always an immense help to us. Gerard's international experience also came in quite handy for humble Canadians (like myself) in Asia for the first time.
Next to him, looking divine in a fashionable AbbyShot Kill Bill jacket was Debbie, our consultant in Japan. She did a lot of research legwork for us before the show even started and helped us out in the booth for the first two days of the Fair.
Third from the left was of course Julia, looking great in an AbbyShot Stampede Duster. One of your two friends from AbbyShot here on this adventure!
Next was a new Japanese friend we made who was enjoying her time trying on an AbbyShot Malice Mizer coat. For some reason, this moment just screamed "group shot", I don't know.
Second-from-the-right was Andy, our translator, looking striking in an AbbyShot Lobby Trench. He was there for just one day, but did he ever help us break down the language barriers in our meetings with businesses and the public.
And on the end was me, Mark, your other trusty AbbyShot employee! I'm the one who gets to tell you this story.
Something very cool happened on this second day of the show.
The morning brought us a visit from a team of roving reporters that got a real kick out of our AbbyShot gear! They came from a Comcast channel called "Anime Selects" and it seemed like they were having a blast in Japan. Our friendly interviewer was Tasayu, trying on the AbbyShot Mad Max jacket next to Gerard in the picture on the left. The rest of the crew was loving their time in the AbbyShot booth as well, with cameraman Gabe turning in to Mad Max in the picture on the right while producer Megan snapped her own photos.
It was great to talk to this fun crowd of people – it was clear that they were having a great time at the Fair. Check out Tasayu's Blog to see all the fun stuff the Anime Selects crowd did in Tokyo. Talk about using your time wisely! This AbbyShot interview is set to air in May, we'll keep you posted on that one!
And it wasn't just English-speaking reporters dying to get a piece of AbbyShot, we've also got our picture on a Brazilian news site! It really is an international show.
Day Two for me was all about exploring the Tokyo Anime Fair.
Our excellent translator, Andy, was only with us for this one day, so we had to make the most of his skills. This was an incredible opportunity to speak with anime distributors, studios, and promotional firms to gather intelligence and see where AbbyShot can fit into the big picture.
The main lesson is: WOW, there's a lot of anime that comes out every year! There were over 200 exhibitors promoting new or recent anime series or films, and each of these booths had 5 or 10 anime to promote (with some overlap because of partnerships) but STILL, there were hundreds and hundreds of new shows on display!
Some of the excellent highlights include:
- Velvet Underworld at the Wedge Holdings booth, a cool gothic anime as shown in this excellent Anime News Service scoop.
- Zombie Loan and Dragonaut at the ADK booth. The first is a funky high school zombie story and the second seems to be about cool-looking dragons in space.
- Night Head at the GAGA Communications booth, another gothic looking tale about psychic powers, based on an earlier anime from the 90's.
- Darker than Black was making a splash at the ANIPLEX booth, with well-designed bags as handouts (because you need something to hold all the gear you collect!). Another sombre and brooding anime (as the name suggests), I definitely sense a trend here!
- Seirei no Moribito (or Guardian of the Sacred Spirit) from the Geneon booth was the coolest-looking warrior themed anime that we saw at the show, and trust me, there were quite a few of these!
- Finally, a BIG highlight from the show: a Devil May Cry anime TV series is coming! The huge Dante poster at the Toshiba booth was certainly hard to miss!
What about the odd, funny, or downright weird highlights? We've got some of those:
- Hayate the Combat Butler at the Geneon booth. The name says it all.
- Tachiguishi Retsuden or The Amazing Lives of the Fast Food Grifters. I can't begin to tell you what this one's about.
- Finally, it's Getsumento Heiki Mina or Lunar Rabbit Weapon Mina. She's a bunny-girl with two carrots stuck to the back of her. I'll never understand some of this stuff.
So much fun new anime, but of course we had to walk by the greats – click for bigger views of the cool booth designs!
Lots more to come in the next AbbyShot in Japan blog post!
Did you hear of any great upcoming anime that we should know about, that we might have missed? Let us know in the comments!

A VISIT vital to the future for hundreds of new jobs is set for Thursday.
Representatives from the Georgian government and Georgian aerospace company Tiblisi Aerospace are visiting the Rotherwas Enterprise Zone - now branded Skylon Park - with view to building an advanced manufacturing plant in the city.
The Hereford Times has reported on months of international negotiations that have Tiblisi Aerospace actively considering Hereford as a UK base.
A Rotherwas plant would make components for a new small passenger jet with a target market in Eastern Europe.
Thursday's visit represents the next stage in negotiations with Herefordshire Council as landowner of the site.
Bill Jackson, Chair of Hereford Enterprise Zone Board said the visit brought "more certainty" to the company's investment in Hereford.
"Not only will this investment brings many jobs into the city but will also provide an apprenticeship school for around 70 apprentices a year, and will provide the necessary skills and training to support the operation," he said.

London - They're bought by adventurous home chefs – but more than 40 percent of celebrity cookbooks are destined never to be opened.
And it is the ambitious recipes of Heston Blumenthal and Gordon Ramsay that we're least likely to attempt, according to a survey.
By contrast, the ease and simplicity of recipes by Delia Smith and Jamie Oliver are far more popular.
The finding is a resounding endorsement for Miss Smith, who was dropped from Waitrose's advertising last week while the store retained Blumenthal. His book In Search Of Perfection is the one most likely to sit unopened, followed by Ramsay's Three Star Chef.
In the survey by food firm Scala, 67 percent said recipes in the books were intimidating. While 35 percent were put off by the cost of ingredients, 29 percent said the dishes were too complicated.
The study found a typical home has ten cookbooks, of which four have never been used. And many have given up on books altogether, with 53 percent searching for recipes online based on ingredients they happen to have in the fridge. - Daily Mail

Sunshine Post :: Fresh Grammar Jewelry
Hello, dear readers. One special new feature we've added this year is the occasional spotlight on one of our contributors. Inherent in the mission statement of The Bright Side Project is the unspoken belief that to "Do What You Love, Love What You Do" is an absolutely essential component in creating a happy and healthy lifestyle. Every now and then, we will ask our contributors to answer a few short questions on the ideas of happiness, creativity and sunshine. We hope these rays of light help inspire you to find the sunshine in your day, today and everyday.
Today we are honored to introduce you to fresh grammar!
Please introduce yourself to our readers and explain a little bit about your business.
My name is Alex and my 'day job' is a philosophy PhD student. It's extremely consuming (definitely not 9-to-5) and could basically fill up all my waking hours if I let it. Reading, thinking, and writing all day is mentally exhausting, but physically boring, and I've always loved doing things with my hands. And it's a great change of pace to express myself through things rather than through words. So my business is, more than anything, a way for me to relax and share the stuff that I dig with other people!
We believe that one of the ways to achieve happiness is to "Do what you love, love what you do." How does this philosophy apply to your life?
I can't imagine my life being any more a reflection of this. The only reason to do philosophy is because you love it, and my business is basically an awesome hobby I love and want to share with other people!
Our mission here at The Bright Side Project is to spread sunshine on a daily basis because we firmly that life is (still) beautiful. Where do you find beauty and inspiration?
I'm slightly obsessed with architecture and industrial design, so a lot of my inspiration comes from there. I also used to work at a boutique flower shop (http://www.ilexflowers.com/), so I see a lot of beauty in plants and nature.
On a dreary day, what do you do to infuse your life with a little bit of sunshine?
I may not like walking in the rain, but I love listening to it. So I open the windows a crack so I can hear it and brew a nice big pot of tea. Usually I'll just get some (school)work done. If there's not too much to do, I'll bake something, or just surf the internet and play some video games. 😉
What are you most grateful for?
It's been a hard month for my family, so I'm most grateful right now for my health and the health of people I'm close to. Without that, you can't really do much else.
Check back later today for an amazing giveaway from fresh grammar!

They say that when it rains it pours
They're right
Falling from out of the sky
It's falling down on me
Praying come down, fall down
Praying come down, fall down
Falling from out of the sky
[Verse 1]
When I forgot to close the blinds I couldn't sleep
Kept waking up from all the shine, glare in my eyes
I'm off three hours, eat, sleep, repeat grind again
It's what he does that others don't do is what's defining him
I never would've thought the words wrote on a page
Would have me on the other side of earth on a stage
I never would've thought there was a stage on earth
That made me feel more at home besides my place of birth
I'm from gun-slinging CA where every movie's watched
Then watched back for instant replay
So many days and nights with ink bleeding papers
Fall asleep on flights, call it sleeping with strangers
Now back to the City of Angels where the rain is
[Verse 2]
I simplify by design, my words get scribed
To the vinyl when they rhyme, mark it with a scribe
Count lessons, toes, fingers, I'm alive
I've passed so many lows to survive all the highs
I've learned some things and others learned to tolerate (like what?)
You can be a day short but not a dollar late
New day in [?] chainlink, put it together
Beat the drum, pray for rain, we ain't the same under the weather
Just me against the world on the verge of relentless
Trying to stay apart like each word of the sentence
King vs. apprentice, champ vs. challenger
The challenger swung, the champ fell, they kicked him out of there
I throw raps to sea in a bottle to float
Like a lost SOS that the novelist wrote
The wind blew and popped the top, they read the letter
To whom it may concern, my sick words under the weather
[Verse 3]
So I forgot to change the time showing up early
With my money on my mind trying to keep from crime
One of a kind, I'm defined by my environment
For everything I did from inception to retirement
Cause I be running on unleaded fumes
Collecting money back for sacks fronted for the rent is due
A daydreamer still running towards the rainbow's ending
Knowing damn well the gold wasn't meant for spending
You ten cents from a nickel in your pocket
Shit, I'm thirty short of twenty dollars in my wallet yeah
You might need twelve fingers for the runners
Maybe six on the hand, half a dozen on the other
I bundle up brown gloves for the summer
Shorts in the winter with a slicker and umbrella
A fella chasing cheese like he running a maze
But really I'm just running in place, I need the bread to start

Fantasy Freestyle
Seven Hitting Prospects on the Rise
If you've been reading Baseball Prospectus' outstanding Transaction Analysis series, you'll know that the BP Fantasy team chimes in on every move as well. We think this is a great way to bring our fantasy readers information throughout the offseason, rather than flooding them with opinions come spring, and if we're being honest, it's just good fun, too.
Something we pride ourselves on is analyzing not only the players dealt or signed in a transaction, but on talking about every relevant player who might be impacted. You'd be surprised at just how often non-moving pieces are more deeply affected than their dynamic counterparts.
This is especially true of fantasy-relevant prospects, who's entire perceived 2014 value can live and die with a single transaction. How many dynasty owners are thrilled to own Nick Franklin right now? How many more people now want to own Tyler Skaggs?
With that in mind, let's take a look at seven hitting prospects who've seen a nice boost in value this offseason, even if they've remained stationary through all the Hot Stove madness.
Jurickson Profar, 2B, Rangers
There were plenty of rumors that Texas was going to trade Profar this offseason— to Tampa Bay for David Price, to Miami for Giancarlo Stanton, or elsewhere—but it was Kinsler who got the boot instead. That leaves Profar with nothing in front of him in 2014, and while he receives a slight drop in value from playing 2B instead of SS, he still has top-15 middle infielder upside. I wouldn't expect him to reach that status quite yet, but if Profar hits close to .300 with 15 homers and 10 steals, no one would be surprised. If his poor performance last year takes some of the shine off Profar and makes him more affordable in drafts this season, all the better.
Kolten Wong, 2B, Cardinals
It's fashionable to point out that Wong is not an elite prospect, and that's just as true for fantasy as it is in real life. But there's a pretty wide range between elite and irrelevant, and Wong is a good candidate to settle in to a long career as a top-15 2B option. It would be nice to see him walk more, but if Wong does bat near the top of St. Louis' potent order, expect a bevy of runs to go along with a respectable average, 8-10 homers and 15-plus steals.
Jackie Bradley Jr., OF, Red Sox
Bradley is a much, much better MLB prospect than he is a fantasy one. Double-digit homers are within his reach, but he's not going to hit for a ton power, he's not going to steal a ton of bases and he gets on base more via the walk than he does via a high average. That being said, Bradley is still fully capable of hitting in excess of .270, and he's a candidate to score 80-plus runs if he gets 500 PA this season. Bradley gets a huge boost in OBP leagues, as he's going to routinely reach base at a .350 clip or better.
Nick Castellanos, 3B/OF, Tigers
But now, Castellanos will likely be the starting third baseman for arguably the best offense in baseball. Unless he tanks in Spring Training, there's no reason to think he won't get at least 500 PA next year. While there's an argument to be had over how much power he'll hit for in the majors, no one really doubts that he will hit, and even a .270 average with 15 homers, and 70 or so runs and RBI would make Castellanos quite relevant in standard leagues. I wouldn't draft him as my starting 3B just yet, but I certainly would draft him.
Josmil Pinto, C, Twins
On to Pinto himself: despite not being particularly well known even in dynasty circles last year, the 24-year-old put himself on the map with an outstanding campaign in Double-A and Triple-A, eventually earning 83 PA in the majors. While high BABIPs lead to some cause for concern, Pinto clearly has some pop in his bat and certainly has enough offensive upside to be relevant for fantasy purposes. He's a sneaky-good second catcher option for those of you who play in god-forsaken leagues that start two catchers.
Adam Eaton, OF, White Sox
That was until earlier this week, of course, when Eaton was dealt to the White Sox as part of the Mark Trumbo deal. Suddenly, the 25-year-old speedster finds himself playing in a great hitters' ballpark and probably at the top of a batting order, with little competition for playing time other than Alejandro De Aza. Eaton instantly becomes one of the better sleeper sources of steals for 2014, and seeing him put together a season somewhat similar to Leonys Martin's 2013 wouldn't be surprising at all. This was a great move for the White Sox and for fantasy owners alike.
Michael Choice, OF, Rangers
Choice is a valuable prospect for two reasons: He gets on base, and he can hit for power from the right side of the plate. The latter of those two skills should be amplified by Choice's new home park, and the former should come in handy in what's shaping up to be a good Rangers lineup. Texas may still opt to add another outfielder this offseason, but if they don't, Choice is in line to be the starter. Even if he only sees limited time in 2014, his future is brighter in Texas than it was in Oakland.

Nice article Ben. I find pieces like these more far more interesting and valuable than the typical Cano signs with the Mariners, how does this affect his fantasy value blah blah blahs. We know who Cano is, we know what he does and we know Seattle isn't New York... one plus one still equals 2. But after reading the introduction to this article a second time, I feel the exclusion of Kole Calhoun from this list of players is huge oversight, particularly from a fantasy perspective.

Thanks for your comments, mbovie. I agree with you that Calhoun is a nice sleeper headed into 2014, but this wasn't meant to be a definitive guide to every fantasy prospect who'll see success next year - it was just a snapshot look at seven of the more popular names. There are at least a dozen other prospects who come to mind that would fit in a column like this, and I'll probably address them in the weeks to come.
Dec 13, 2013 11:57 AM
Ben, would Kolten Wong have still made the list if you had written this after the Mark Ellis acquisition? Why or why not? Thanks.
Dec 18, 2013 17:00 PM
Ben Carsley
BP staff
I think Wong is still eligible for inclusion on a list like this, sure, but there's no question that his job security took a hit with the Ellis signing. It's likely that Wong loses some playing time against LHP, and he could lose substantially more if he really flops, but the plan still appears to be for him to start. I still don't think Wong loses more than 100 PA, so let's dock his pre-Ellis value by ~15% .

F1 Fanatic - Yosi
I'll catch up with the few INDYCAR I've missed. Really looking forward to seeing the new cars in 2018.
I also like the rave reviews from formula1blog which are quite good too.
I'm just glad someone went tip the trouble of translating it so that us non Spanish speakers can enjoy it.
@keithcollantine I was just looking through Reddit and came across it. It looks like Alonso works closely with a tv channel in Spain and they filmed his last weekend with Ferrari. It's entirely Alonso thoughts, not an interview and we get to really see the real guy. This is part one leading up to the Race on Sunday. Part 2 should be upcoming soon.
A fan has subtitled it in broken yet understandable English.
It's well worth watching to see the talk Alonso who really does read tweets and even quotes then in press conferences.
This is the first time I've seen a video like this from him. Are there more?
I got a reply about the commentary;
Thank you for your email and interest in F1 on Zume.
With the exception of this weekend,
where we will be bringing Zume users live Japanese commentary directly
from the Suzuka circuit during the Japan GP,
Zume users are able to enjoy our English commentary
which is exclusively tailored to enjoying the features of the F1 on Zume App f
or all other races in the 2013 season.
Our commentary team of Tom Gaynor
and Jack Clarke along with Producer Lucy Holmes
bring each Grand Prix Weekend and Session to life,
so don't miss out on the action.
Best Regards

Ever heard of these guys at all?
I just did a google search and it appears legit. A uk company no less either.
I bought one issue and I thought it was really good, at least as good as f1 racing is. Maybe there isn't a major publishing house backing it to make it worthwhile?
What I meant was that it certainly is possible but that codemasters chose not to do so. I'm sure they could have afforded it though.
Someone commented on FB that Senna can be licensed and that its not that difficult really…
Will this be up to F1 standards? I hope it's not designed by Tilke either…
Yeah, this was totally lame and pointless and I think Lewis and Jenson felt the same way
Thanks tigerlilly, looking forward to the GP!

There's something to be said for a mid-week date night. Fridays and Saturdays often call for fancy reservations and an outfit to match—dresses, tights and heels for a Fashionista or blazers, button-ups and dress shoes for a Fashionisto. A night out during the week is much more low-key, especially in a college town. No reservations? No problem.
Dressing for a Tuesday or Wednesday night date should be similarly stress-free. An impromptu dinner downtown or a night at the movies should be casual and fun, just like this Fashionista's outfit. In her quilted jacket, leather pants and knit V-neck, she gives off the perfect relaxed vibe. There's something effortless about her look. It's put together and nighttime appropriate, but still unfussy.
For a casual winter date night, a warm jacket is a must. Often the best way to discover a new restaurant is by exploring your city. During a walk downtown, you might wander into a Greek place tucked out of the way or a cute hidden coffee shop. The cold shouldn't put a stop to this romantic spontaneity. This Fashionista is ready for such an evening stroll with her boyfriend. The parka looks warm, but also has some great feminine detail with its cinched waist.
Her leather jeans elevate the look. Leather is such a wardrobe staple because it's so versatile. These pants will work well at a sit-down restaurant, but they're also perfect for catching the game at the campus bar. A leather jean is stylish and cool—and what better vibe to give off on a date with your crush? For date night, this Fashionista paired her great pants with a V-neck. The winter white softens the look, and knitwear provides the perfect delicate juxtaposition to her leather jeans.
She finished the outfit with some of my favorite campus footwear ever. Look at the cut-out heels on her boots! On a mid-week date, ditch the stilettos and look for booties with great hardware. Casual dates are fun and your footwear should be too. It's the little unexpected details that make even the most casual date great.
One Simple Change: Switch the V-neck for a great graphic tank. It's the perfect complement to the Fashionista's leather pants and the perfect look for a concert this weekend.

Some thoughts after three days of charting the NFL Draft:
— For the first time since 1999, no Pitt players were drafted, but seven found new homes in the NFL through free agency.
Watching 253 names flashed on the TV screen — and none of those being his — proved too much for Pitt outside linebacker Brandon Lindsey, who said he stopped watching after a while.
Defensive tackle Chas Alecxih called it "the worst experience ever," which is saying something for a player who had three head coaches yanked from him in his last year at Pitt.
Maybe that's the point — Pitt players were yo-yoed from one system to another so often that few found a comfort zone and were unable to develop consistency in their performance. Who knows how things would have turned out if Dave Wannstedt's pro-style offense hadn't been replaced by Todd Graham's high octane?
Nonetheless, seven Pitt players played well enough to get free-agent offers Saturday night, including Alecxih (Dolphins), Lindsey (Steelers), linebacker Max Gruder (Falcons), cornerback Antwuan Reed (Browns), guard Lucas Nix (Raiders), linebacker Greg Williams (Texans) and cornerback Buddy Jackson (Colts).
That's an impressive number, indicating the draft just wasn't long enough for the Panthers.
Other thoughts, news:
— The most recent time Pitt had seven players drafted was 1990, bookended by No. 3 pick Marc Spindler (Lions) and No. 11 Carnel Smith (Colts). In fact from 1988 to 1992, Pitt had 30 players drafted, including No. 1 picks Craig Heyward (Saints, '88), Burt Grossman (Chargers, '89) and Sean Gilbert (Rams, '92). Only one of those 30 went to the Steelers (Jerry Olsavsky, '89).
Pitt's record in that time: 31-24-2, including only two bowl games. That's about one victory for each player drafted.
— The snub of Nix was puzzling, but injuries to his knee (during the season) and pectoral muscle (post-season) didn't help. He is recovered, however, and possesses all the tools, including a nasty streak that, now, might be supplemented by a chip on his shoulder. Good luck to Lucas, and to the first Raiders rookie defensive lineman who is ordered to line up opposite him.
— Fullback/H-back Devin Goda of Slippery Rock University and Elizabeth-Forward High School signed with the Ravens. He played wide receiver in college at 6-foot-3, 225 pounds.
— West Virginia offensive tackle Don Barclay signed with the Packers. That makes two Seneca Valley graduates in two years going to the NFC North (Brandon Fusco, sixth-round pick of the Vikings).

Multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 1 (MEN 1), sometimes called Wermer's syndrome, is a rare disorder that causes tumors in the endocrine glands and parts of the small intestine and stomach. In MEN 1, the endocrine glands — usually the parathyroids, pancreas and pituitary — grow tumors and release excessive amounts of hormones that can lead to disease. However, the tumors are usually noncancerous (benign).
The excess hormones can cause a wide variety of signs and symptoms, such as tiredness, bone pain, fractures and kidney stones, as well as stomach or intestinal ulcers. Although MEN 1 can't be cured, regular testing can detect problems, and doctors can provide treatment as needed.
MEN 1 is an inherited disorder, meaning people who have the gene mutation can pass it on to their children. Each child has a 50 percent chance of inheriting the disorder.

Man arrested for aggravated assault in Dollar General robbery
Published 11:41 am, Saturday, July 6, 2013
A man suspected of robbing a South Side Dollar General store with a kitchen knife was arrested Wednesday, an affidavit said.
Christopher Ramirez, 30, was charged with aggravated assault and sent to the Bexar County Jail Friday morning on an $80,000 bond.
According to the arrest affidavit, Ramirez is also suspected of robbing another Dollar General on May 25 on the South Side. That store is about six miles away from one he allegedly robbed Wednesday.
The affidavit said during the May robbery, "a Hispanic male pulled out a kitchen cutting knife as he was walking out of the location ... and told her (an employee) 'Don't try anything.'"

Ramirez "was arrested while committing a robbery with the same method of operation," the affidavit said.
A detective questioned Ramirez about the May robbery and showed the suspect a picture of himself from store surveillance footage.
Ramirez then admitted to the robbery, the affidavit said.
